Chapter 2: Simplicity
Present day...
Seven adolescents stand outside of a local high school, a male with red, spiky hair, red, collared shirt with a black stripe, light blue jeans, slightly tanned skin, and green eyes, another male wearing a black, leather jacket, grey, stained undershirt, torn, black jeans, short, black hair, pale skin, and brown eyes, a third male with a brown T-shirt, a dark yellow button down shirt, brown cargo pants, pale skin, blond hair combed to the left, glasses, and hazel eyes, a female wearing a light blue shirt with a black skull, white shorts, short, brown hair, pale skin, and hazel eyes, another female with a green T-shirt with light green swirls, dark grey pants, long, black hair, Hispanic, and brown eyes, a third female with a white, short sleeved hoodie unzipped, a dark yellow undershirt, beige shorts, long, blond hair tied in a ponytail, and blue eyes, with the remaining girl wearing a purple T-shirt, blue shorts, slightly curled, brown hair, pale skin, and green eyes.
Red: "Sorry we can't hang out much today Melissa. Master Atami is going to kill us if were late today."
Melissa: "(disappointed) Oh... okay Leo."
Black: "Is there something you're hiding from us?"
Melissa looks to her side.
Melissa: "It's nothing Reaver."
Brown: "Look, it's Friday tomorrow and the Master doesn't have any plans at all this weekend. How about you join us at the monastery after school tomorrow?"
Melissa: "I... would like that Jake."
Blue: "Can we hurry? I'd rather not be stuck with the bathroom again."
Melissa: "Just hurry up guys. I remember what happened to Audrey after last time."
Green: "Well, see ya."
The other six walk away.
Melissa: "B-Bye Henrietta!"
White: "(sighing) We didn't even get the chance to blow shit up this week."
Leo: "Is that all you think about Grace?"
Grace: "Yes."
Audrey: "Can we shut up for five minutes?!"
Henrietta: "..."
Twenty minutes later...
Melissa is running away from a convenience store clerk, clutching a candy bar.
Clerk: "Get back here you thief!"
Melissa: "I-I can't!"
She bumps straight into police officer.
Officer: "Again? What is wrong with you girl?"
She is tossed into the car.
Melissa: "P-Please! Anywhere but there!"
The cop drives her away.
Meanwhile...
An elderly man dressed in a black robe stands vigilant atop a set of steps in front of an Eastern styled house as the other six arrive.
Reaver: "Sorry we're late master."
Atami: "No I understand. Melissa is a troubled individual."
Atami opens the door behind him, with a wooden staff, scythe, sword, fans, gauntlets, and a toy rifle hang on the wall.
Atami: "Now it's time for training."
Henrietta: "Of course it is."
Leo takes the sword, Reaver takes the scythe, Audrey takes the staff, Jake takes the gauntlets, Henrietta takes the fans, and Grace takes the toy rifle.
Grace: "Training is like, all you think about."
Atami: "It's more important than you think."
All six prepare for battle.
Jake: "As usual, you make about as much sense as a fish breathing on land."
Atami: "As usual, you keep your wits about you Jake."
The six begin to spar.
Meanwhile...
Melissa is thrown into what seems to be her home, with her mother waving goodbye to the officer with a fake smile.
Mother: "(menacingly) Now you're going to pay for making us wait you little shit!"
