New beginnings...

Part 0: Beginning of the end...

Arc 1: The new Reapers.

(We pick off right where we left)

Sam: (Thinking to himself) Well let's see how this pans out. What a strange early morning this has been.

Anderson: (Walks past someone in the group on the left and quickly raises his fist), (His fist gets blocked), (In a curious tone) Oh? It looks we've got a bad-ass in our hands here. What's your name?

Kane Pendragon: (Around the age of 19, With gelled slicked back brown hair, Amber eyes. The Same birthmark as Able and is wearing a pair of white gloves with his outfit, 5.8ft) Name's Kane Pendragon.

(Sam raises his head and looks at Kane confused and astonished)

Anderson: Pendragon? I'm assuming your father is the Arthur Pendragon?

Kane: Correct. And that was just a reflex sir.

Anderson: I like you. You got my respect, that's rare don't waste it.

Kane: Yes sir.

(Anderson continues down the rows and suddenly stops next to a girl with ponytailed Red Hair, blue eyes, an average build, around 5.6ft and holding something tight in her left pocket)

Anderson: (With a serious expression) What's in your left pocket? Name now.

Valentina: (Clearly lying) Oh, it's nothing...

Anderson: (Shouts at the top of his lungs) WHAT IS IN THERE!!!

Valentina: (Pulls out a few pieces of candy) OK, OK it's just a bit of candy! Nothing much!

Anderson: "Nothing much", really. You really are full of gluttony.

(Kane quickly raises his head and looks at her)

Anderson: (Moves forward and takes the candy out of her hand) Tch, don't let me find you with this again.

(Anderson moves past Able)

Anderson: What's the name?

Able: (Straightens up his back and speaks in a confident tone) Able Pendragon.

Anderson: Kane's your brother?

Able: Correct.

Anderson: Why are the 2 of you here?

Able: We want to continue our father's legacy as monster hunters and protectors of Humanity!!! Alongside the Reapers! One of my father best friends was Reaper-...

Anderson: (Interrupts him) You got confidence boy, I'll give you that but I'm going to have to break it down. (Starts moving away) Hell through enough training you and your brother may become the strongest here.

Able: T...thank you I guess?

(Anderson suddenly stops when he see Peter doing the Nazi salute)

Anderson: (Slowly turning his head) (In a cold tone) Is that what I think it is?

Peter: Uh I...

Anderson: (Grabs Peter by the shoulder) Did I ask you to follow my movements or to do a Nazi salute?

Peter: Um...

Anderson: The Reaper salute signifies your; persistence, hope, intelligence and your will to slay these monsters!!! DO NOT!!! And I mean DO NOT get it confused with some D-rate evil bad guy pose out of the 1940's, you look like a badly writing James Bond villain!!! Do you understand me boy!!!

Peter: Uh... Ich werde ihrem willen folgen, sir!!! (I will follow your will Sir!!!)

Anderson: (Headbutts Peter but holds onto him) Was that German!!! Don't say that shit around me either!!!

Peter: But sir my nationality is German!!!

Anderson: (Lets go of his shoulder) (Still talking in an angry tone) I don't care!!! If I see you striking that salute again! (Coldly) They'll never find the body...

Peter: Right sir...

(On a cliff overlooking everyone two men are talking)

Shinitsu Redfield: I never knew my brother could be this harsh... Don't you think this being a little too hard on them Commander Heibai?

General of the trainee regiment Heibai Yama: Relax Shinitsu. This is all part of the process.

Shinitsu: Process sir? This is my first time here.

Heibai: It's simple break down their confidence till their breaking point then build it up stronger and better than ever. And those arrogant enough to not give in... Hoho they get pushed far past the break point.

Shinitsu: Not that, that explained a lot Commander but sure...

Heibai: Relax kid, the longer you're here the more you'll understand.

Shinitsu: Sure...

(Heibai starts walking away)

Heibai: You coming?

Shinitsu: Yes.

(Heibai and Shinitsu start walking away)

(Anderson walks past Sam)

Anderson: Hmm? Oh sorry thought you were a kid there for a second you're so damn short...

Sam: What did you just say!?

Anderson: I said "You're so damn short" got a problem?

Sam: Yeah!!! I'm 17 and Japanese I'll let you know 5.2ft is the average height of a Japanese man!!! Got a problem you 5.10ft bastard!!!

Anderson: Did you just call me a Bastard!?

Sam: Yeah!!

(Sam and Anderson have an argument)

Able: That's new... never called anyone a Bastard before, even if they did insult his height. He always just frowned and told them to stop.

(Anderson walks away from Sam looking angry)

Anderson: (Softly) Screw you...

Sam: Yeah screw you too! Kuso yarō...

Able: Neither the less in Japanese.

Anderson: Tch... Assembly is dismissed!!! Reapers go to your "classes" where you popped into. The rest of you know where to go.

(7 hours later)

(In a eating hall full of people)

Sam: (Scratching his eyes while sitting on a chair) (In a tired confused tone) Ah! my head hurts! I don't whether it's from that damn truck or everything that's going on!

Able: (Sitting across from Sam) What happened again, you were hit by a truck?

Sam: Yeah... How come you're here?

Able: Well... When I said I was going to a university I didn't mean *that* kind of University. You get me?

Sam: Oh... And Kane what about you?

Kane: (Standing on a support beam facing the other way, looking at someone that's looking at Valentina) Same...

Sam: How long have you been here?

Kane: Since yesterday.

Sam: What are you looking at?

Kane: (Turns to Sam's side) Nothing...

Sam: Huh this is not how I saw my Halloween going... Ha funny I wanted to dress up as a Grim Reaper now look at me.

Louis Martin: (Sitting next to Able) Halloween? When I got here it was October 3rd?

Sam: Interesting, I didn't quite catch your name?

Louis Martin: (5.6ft, Left parted pomaded light brown hair, brown eyes with a small scar on the left side of his forehead) It's Louis Martin.

Sam: That's a common French name, from now on when I feel like it I'm gonna call you Frenchie.

Louis: What?

Able: He does a lot. I'm just glad he hasn't thought of a stupid name for me in the 7 years I've known him.

Sam: Alright, returning to the original question. How did we die on separate dates but arrive here on the same day?

Peter: (Sitting next to Sam) (Puts down his bowl of food) Okay let's work this out. I came here on the 23rd also October, there are 31 Reapers here and... Nope ain't got a clue!

Kane: (In a confused tone) Really?

Peter: Yeah I really ain't got anything.

Kane: How many days are there in October?

Peter: 31.

Kane: How many Reapers are here?

Peter: 31.

Kane: How many people were in the class when you got here?

Peter: 22 I was the 23rd, oh...

Kane: Is it coming to you?

Peter: Nope!

Kane: Son of a bitch... (Irritated) There was one Reaper for every day of October!!! It's basic... I don't know, math probably.

Peter: Oh now I get it!

Kane: Thank you!

Peter: There's one Reaper every year in October!

Kane: AH! Aha, someone get me a Gun I want to shoot myself!

Able: Before you do; explain to us why you're here in the first place.

Kane: (Calming down) Just like you I want to hunt monsters that's all.

Sam: But where'd you run off to for a year!?

Kane: Huh... listen it's a long story, and difficult to explain.

Able: Nothing's difficult if you put your mind to it.

Kane: (In a sarcastic tone) Well my mind ain't in the mood for putting right now.

Able: (looks over Sam) How did you learn your sarcasm from him?

Sam: I perfected my sarcasm.

Able: Huh... Okay Kane we'll discuss this in the morning alright?

Kane: Fine I need some sleep now anyway.

(The sleep bell rings)

Sam: What do you know perfect timing.

(Everyone goes outside and walks towards their sleeping halls)

(In the sleeping hall Sam and Peter are looking at their bunk bed)

Peter: (Takes a deep breath) Race you to the top!

(Peter rushes not giving Sam a chance)

Sam: Hey!?

Peter: (Makes it to the top bed first) Yes!!!

Sam: (Climbs into his bed) (Softly laughing) Haha we've known each other for a few hours we're already best buddies... This really is an anime friendship. (Sees Peter asleep) And he's already out Hmm strange only 30 where'd one of the guys go? Think his name was Alex Shaw or something, probably out there somewhere.

(Sam takes out his journal from his Jacket on the cupboard next to him and starts writing)

(Sam narrating: October 31st 2007. What a day this has been. My college tuition was rejected, I met a cute girl, died My 5'o'clock was 8 hours ago... One minute I'm saving a girl from a truck and the next, the next I'm sleeping in a room full of people I just met. Oh boy what a crazy noisy bizarre day this has been. If only it weren't for that drunk driver. But let's just see how this plays out... haha. I just hope Ms. Pendragon isn't crying her eyes out right now. This is a New Beginning for me...)

(Sam makes a few sketches of things that happened through the day)

(Sam closes it, locks it with a number lock and puts it down on the cupboard next to him)

(Sam switches off his lamp and goes to sleep)

(In a dark circular room with a pillar in the middle)

(In the pillar a Scythe sits)

(The Scythe is medium size, has a Redwood grip, with the carving of a Snake all over it. There is Black steel blade attached to the Scythe both ends are sharp with the bottom blade being a little lighter colored. The blade has an engraving of a Rose surrounded by skulls on it. And in the middle where the blade meets the grip lies a Red perfectly circular gem)

(The words "I'm Samuel Reyes" echoes across the room. The Gem in the Scythe glows an ever bit lighter and the Scythe moves position by a small bit)

(A man sitting on a chair in the room reading a manga notices it move)

The Man: That's most definitely new...
