"You'll never catch us, boy!" Laughed a large, fat, white bearded kishin, it's skin gray and thick. The other was tall and skinny, it's skin white and thin.

Logan jumped to the left, Roman and Remus in hand, dodging a slam from the kishins oversized hand.

"We're immortal!" Cried the kishin.

Remus showed up on the blade, "god he's annoying."

"Not as annoying as you." Roman sang.

Remus snarled, "I swear to death, I will make you eat an eyeball, with dead skin and toenail clippings on! And then, I'll make you wash it down with dog sweat!"

Roman gagged, "Remus! Oh gosh, that's disgusting!"

"Shut up!" Logan sighed, slashing the katanas once the kishin was close enough.

The skinny kishin let out a loud, horrific screech, and slithered up to Logan and jumped him.

Logan slid under it, katana raised and managed to slit the kishin open.

In place of each kishin was a red soul, and Logan let the twins go and in a flash of red and green, Remus and Roman stood next to him.

"Can't you two quit your bickering for five seconds?" Logan sighed.

"Nah." Remus called, grabbing one soul.

Roman grinned, "defeats the purpose of having a twin." He picked up the other.

They clicked the souls and swallowed them whole, Remus drooling ever so slightly. He really loved souls, they're amazing!

Logan frowned, "it's just very hard to fight when you two are arguing. I always worry you'll change back and leave, or something like that."

Roman frowned, he actually felt bad, "well that wouldn't happen. I'm a Prince! Remus is a Duke! We don't back down from a fight! We'd see it through." He promised.

Remus nodded, "and even so, we could just transform into our other forms!"

Roman glared, "great plan genius, except we did that once and haven't been able to do it since, not to mention Logan can't use a mace, and he doesn't completely know how to use a single katana!"

Logan crossed his arms, "I'm right here."

"Sorry!" The brothers called.

The three walked home, Logan more in the front with his arms crossed in annoyance.

"Are you ignoring us?" Roman asked.

Turns out he was. Logan didn't said a word for the entire night.

Or morning, so it seems.

Even in class now, there was still no talking.

Logan sat in between Roman and Remus, reading The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie.

Roman frowned, "oh come on Logan you can't ignore us for ever!"

Remus twirled his moustache, "two can play at this game!" Remus turned away from Logan and crossed his arms grumpily.

Logan simply flipped a page in his book, one leg over the other.

Roman got bored after a minute of the silence and began to look around the classroom. There was a large chalkboard on the wall, and there were three rows of desks, each with four long desks with students. Purple seats underneath the desks.

There was a white, two step stage under the chalkboard, and a brow stand front and centre of the stage. Above the chalkboard was a large skull, the floor was black and white checkered. The windows were circles and-

Roman saw Remus in the corner of his eye.

Remus glared at Logan, when it fell silent between the three, and got an idea. He didn't do this much, but it also got him the attention he wanted, but it did hurt people's ears.

He looked at Logan with a smirk, which Roman saw.

"Remus no-!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

"REMUS SHUT UP!" Logan yelled, raising his book and hitting Remus over the head with it, successfully shutting him up.

Remus' head fell down, face planting the table.

Everyone was covering their ears, and only uncovered them when they saw Remus wasn't moving.

Logan sighed, "I hate when he does Demonic Screech."

"Sorry everyone!" Roman apologised loudly, looking to the E.A.T. Class. He covered his face in embarrassment, and didn't uncover his red face until chattering filled the room again.

"Did you have to hit me?" Grumbled Remus in pain.

Roman rolled his eyes, but then he perked up, "oh hey, did you hear the rumours?"

Logan, now interested, realised he would have to stop ignoring Roman so he could hear this rumour. He looked at Roman, setting down his book.

"What rumour?"

"Well you know about the dead professor, right?" Roman asked, making Logan nod.

"Right, Professor Dominic, stomach slashed open with a sword durning a mission. What about him?"

Roman smirked, "well, supposedly, there's a man appearing in school, and in the streets, in a puff of black smoke. Apparently he's targeting SWMA specifically. Supposedly, he's draining student dry."

"Draining students dry?" Logan asked, eyebrow raised.

Roman leaned closer to Logan, "blood."

"Blood?... Are you suggesting that this person is Professor Dominic?" Logan asked, scoffing slightly.

Roman shrugged, "just a rumour I heard."

"How on earth could it be him? Professor Dominic is dead."

Roman nodded and turned away, looking down, "yes, but... Don't forget... They say this guy is draining blood, which means-" he turned around, sash covering his mouth and covering his face and moved into Logan's space, his voice mimicked Lugosi's Dracula, "he's a vampire!"

Logan yelled in shock and hit him with his book, making Roman yelp in pain and face plant the desk.

"... Did you have to hit me too?"

"Alright class!" Called a female voice, walking in, a clip board in hand, as she fixed her white tie, "settle down! You may call me Professor Death Scythe-"

"Hey Valarie! What gives?!" Yelled Remus, glaring at Logan's mother.

Valeria glared and tightened her grip on the board, "it's Professor Death Scythe to you!" People she was close with could call her Valarie, but it seemed Logan had told his weapons the moment they met.

"Are you our new teacher?" Roman groaned.

"No in your substitute! Now, let's get one thing straight-" Roman laughed, "I won't take roll call, the bell doesn't dismiss you, I do! You do exactly as I say, and everything goes well!" She looked to her son with a confident smile.

'Take a look at your Momma, Logan! See how amazing she's being!' Valarie thought.

Remus raised an eyebrow and gently nudged Logan's shoulder, "is it just me, or is she giving you that stupid look again?"

Valarie was staring right at Logan, a confident, yet stupid smile on her face, her eyes wide in admiration and love for her son.

Logan grimaced and looked away, sadly she was, "no, I think your mistaken."

"Valarie! You're making that dumb face again!" Remus yelled.

Valarie's left eye twitched and mumbled, "I swear to death..." She smiled, "ok now I'll take roll call-"

"I thought you said you wasn't taking roll call!" Remus yelled, crossing his arms.

"I'm not for the girls!" Valarie grinned, "but for all the guys I will-"

"STOP BEING SUCH A PERVET!"Roman and Remus yelled, leaning over the desk, fists shaking in anger.

Valarie rolled her eyes, "oh by the way, Logan, Roman and Remus, Lord Thomas' wants to see you in his office."

"Oh thank god..." Logan sighed in relief, standing up and leaving as quickly as he could, much to his mothers shock and horror.

Roman and Remus followed not as quickly, but not slowly either.

They entered Lord Thomas' office and walked down the fake guillotine hall.

"What do you think Lord Thomas wants to talk about?" Remus asked.

"How am I supposed to know?" Logan asked, eyebrow raised.

Roman shrugged, "maybe it's a vacation."

"We don't have time to have a vacation after we lost those souls." Logan sighed.

"Assassins rule number one." Said a cocky voice from above making the three turn around.

There on one of the fake guillotine arches was Remy, with Emile in weapon form, "-blend into the darkness and erase your breath-"

"Why are you up there, yelling like an idiot?!" Remus yelled to his friend.

Rent froze, "uh... What's it to ya, babes?!"

In a flash of pink Emile transformed and was back to human form, "well we weren't very silent." Laughed Picani.

The two jumped down and landed with a thud.

"So you two were called to see Lord Thomas too?" Roman asked.

"So what if we was?" Remy scoffed, arms crossed.

Emile smiled, "what do you think this is about?"

Logan shrugged and walked to the mirror in the middle of the room and took a deep breath on the mirror.

Using his finger, he began drawing out a star, "to get some answers," he finished off the drawing with a circle around the star, "call Thomas Sanders."

Suddenly, the circle began to light up, then the star with a blue light, then it swirled and in place of the drawing was a portal of sorts.

"What is up everybody?!" Smiled Thomas, his reflection appearing in the mirror, usual cloak over his body, hood up covering his eyes.

"Meister Logan reporting for duty sir, with weapons Roman and Remus."

"Meister Remy here with weapon Emile."

"Good to see you five! How are you?!" Thomas asked.

Remy sighed, "exhausted, I could do with a Starbucks cof-" Emile slammed a hand over his mouth.

"Ignore him Lord Thomas." Laughed the boy in the pink tie.

Logan looked to the man, "what do you need, Mr. Sanders."

"Well it has come to my attention that you need some help and so, I have assigned an remedial lesson for you all."

Logan's eyes widened, "you mean those lessons idiots need?!"

"What?! No way! A cool guy like me doesn't need that!" Remus scoffed.

"Agreed! Why would I, the biggest star of them all, need an extra lesson!" Remy yelled, crossing his arms.

Thomas raised an unseen eyebrow, "meister's Logan and Remy, do you two remember what your jobs as meister's are?"

"Yes, our job is to feed our demon weapons ninety nine kishin souls and one witch soul." Logan said, back straight, "we work to stop evil and keep the peace. We are to turn our weapons into Death Weapons, for you Mr. Sanders."

"Exactly," nodded Thomas, "and do you know how many souls you have both have collected?" A hand appeared from under his cloak and formed a circle, "zero."

Logan, Remus and Romans mouths dropped in shock and Emile gasped in horror. Remy laughed, head thrown back.

BANG!

Remy was now on the floor, groaning in pain and Thomas hand was raised, ah yes... The Thomas Chop.

"Young boy, this is no laughing matter." Thomas said sternly, as Emile kneeled down to take a look at his injuries Meister.

"Where was I? Oh, your extra lessons! Well, surely by now you've heard the rumours? About Dominic becoming a vampire."

"See? Told you it wasn't a story..." Mumbled Roman, still in shock.

"Apparently..." Logan replied.

"You know, for a vampire I always found him to be a great teacher..." Remus added.

"And he was." Thomas agreed, "well, when he was alive. As you know, Dominic taught your class up until recently, but now that he's died and was brought back to life, he no longer fears death. He wants other to feel the same way he does, and if they disagree he feeds on them."

"There's also another issue, we aren't sure who did this or for what reasons. So, you'll also have to figure that out."

Remy raised an eyebrow, "so all we have to do is take these guys down?"

"Capture them really, but yes." Thomas responded, "also not to add pressure but if you fail this lesson then I'm afraid I'll have to expel you."

"WHAT?! YOU'RE GOING TO EXPEL US?!" Remus, Roman, Logan and Emile yelled in horror, staring up at the reflection.

Remy grinned, "you've got nothing to worry about babes! I can take these guys in my sleep! Which I really need right now..."

"Right! Good luck!" Thomas called and disappeared.

The others still in shock, didn't move but Remy turned to the group, "where to?!"

"W-what?" Logan asked, shock in his voice.

"Where do we go?!"

Logan blinked, "probably Borderline Castle?"

"Alright let's go then!"

The castle was tall, and dark. The flags were ripped and shredded, the towers were leaning to the right slightly, looking like it was about to fall and crumble. The points were still sharp and the windows were arched, with no glass. The door was large and damp, with spiders crawling all over. It was surrounded by woods, on the edge and top of a cliff, below was harsh waves from ice cold water, hitting rocks. It was raining and fog swirled around the castle.

Besides the quiet whistling of wind outside, and very quiet footsteps of the students, the inside of the castle was silent...

"COME OUT HERE YOU DUMB VAMPIRE!" Screamed Remus, arm around Romans neck.

"WE'RE VERY TIRED AND HUNGRY!" Roman yelled just as loudly, arm around Remus' neck.

"WE WANNA GET THIS DUMB LESSON OVET WITH!"

"So this is Dominic'a coffin?" Remy asked, as he and Emile stood in front of a closed, black sleek coffin, Remy's arm wrapped around Emilie's waist.

"Yeppers!" Emile smiled, leaning into his meister.

"COME ON OUT YOU IDIOT!"

"I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE!"

Roman and Remus were currently doing laps around the coffin room together.

"Are you sure this is were you wanna start looking? Don't vampires usually like... I don't know, get up and drink blood?" Remy asked, looking at Emile.

"That is true, but I think it's best, since this is where he usually is." Emile responded.

"WE NEVER EVEN LISTENED TO YOUR LESSONS!"

"YEAH WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, BUTT NUGGET!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-"

Emile turned to the twins, "I think they've finally lost it..."

Logan was lying down on the floor, on his front, silently crying, "I can't believe this is happening to me... How can this happen to me?... How?"

"Huh? What's up with Logan...?" Remy asked, hands in his pockets, letting go of Emile's waist.

"COME OUT AND GET US!"

"BET YOU CAN'T VIRGIN!"

"Aren't you even the slightest bit tired?" Emile asked, earning a confused look from Remy.

"COME OUT AND FIGHT US!" Roman and Remus yelled together.

Remy moved to the them and stood in between them, arms around each of their necks, "THEY SAID WHY DON'T WE PISS ON DOMINIC'S COFFIN!"

"YEAH AND WHY DON'T WE TAKE A DUMB ON IT TOO!"

"YEAH! AND THEN SET IT ABLAZE!"

The three were now waving their arms and yelling, stamping their feet.

"COME GET US!"

"COME AT US!"

"SUCK OUR BLOOD!"

"COME GET US!"

"COME AT US!"

"SUCK OUR BLOOD!"

"COME-!"

Emile's eyes widened, covering his ears, "ok, why don't we all just calm down? Ok? Hahaha..."

Logan froze, he felt someone close, he looked and then yelled, as his leg was grabbed. He was now upside down in the air, a figure behind, floating.

The twins turned, "Logan!"

"You scared, boy?" The figure took a deep breath through his nose, "you smell delicious."

A battle cry was heard, making the figure turn and there Remy was, flying at him, bō staff in hand and knocked him back. The figure dropped Logan.

The twins jumped and transformed into katanas, which Logan caught.

The meister's stood side by side.

"Is that Professor Dominic?" Remy asked in shock.

Logan nodded, "I believe it is..."

The figure turned, but it looked nothing like Professor Dominic. He was thin and white, dark circles surrounded his eyes and his hair was slicked back. His eyes were red and his fangs poked out of his mouth, his nails long and sharp.

"Logan, Roman, Remus, Remy, Emile... Good morning, good evening, good afternoon, good night..."

Logan glared, "Professor Dominic..."

Remy smirked, "take this babes!" He ran at the vampire with another battle cry, spinning his bō staff, but was back handed, making him fly into a stone wall.

Logan sighed as Remus grumbled, "he's an idiot."

Dominic smirk, fangs on show, "are you afraid? Don't you want all that fear to go away?"

Logan glared and ran at him, he slashed the katanas in the shape of an x, but he disappeared in a cloud of black smoke, only to appear behind Logan and kick him in his back, knocking the teenager down.

"How are you all? I always try to remember my manners... Thats the type of man I was..." He said.

The meister's tightened their grips on their weapons.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

Lord Thomas stared into his mirror, a serious look on his face, as he watched the meister's and Dominic.

He glanced behind him at the golden chair with a boy sat in it and back to the mirror.

"And so it begins..."

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

"Ding, dong, ding.... Being a vampire is amazing... I no longer feel fear or terror... I don't fear death." He smirked, "class is in session." He smirked, he spun and changed into a large wolf.

Logan stared, "he can transform into animals?!"

Roman scoffed appearing on the blade, "of course he can Logan... He's a vampire."

Remy smirked, getting up, "this should be fun. I get to teach you a lesson."

"We don't wanna get expelled so we'll take your extra lesson." Roman added.

Remus smirked, "but we don't promise to be well behave."

"When you become a vampire, you'll be free of death and you'll no longer fear it." Smirked Dominic, as Remy and Logan circled him.

"Falsehood!" Screeched Logan, the twins snap their fingers next to their ears.

"Ow..."

"Geez Lo!"

Dominic ran at Logan, "you'll understand once your dead!" He leaped at them, changing back to his 'human' form but was held back by a chain, "huh?"

Remy held Emile who was in Kusari-Gama made, struggling ever so slightly, "no need to thank me, it's all on the houses."

"I never was the kind of man to hold back..." Dominic gripped the chain and pulled Remy forward, flinging him into Logan, the two tumbled, but immediately got up.

Remy glared, "you bitch!"

"You one star meister's have no chance of beating me..." Smirked Dominic, fangs on show.

Remus glared, "I'm hungry! Can we just kill him already!"

Logan glanced to Remus, "I would but we're not match. Dominic was a three star meister when alive."

"Yeah, yeah, fuck you. Hey Dom, bet you can't get us, you might change into an animal again and get stuck." Laughed Remus.

"Now class, second lesson. Ding, dong, ding... Oh yeah, I almost forget... When this lesson is over, you'll all be dead..." He snarled.

Logan glared, "then I guess we're skipping class..." He ran at Dominic, katanas out, he slashed, but Dominic grabbed his coffin and blocked with it, knocking him back.

"What's wrong?! Why aren't you fighting together?! You have to establish a connection between weapon and meister!" Scolded Dominic.

"Giving advice to the enemy?! How dumb can you get?!" Laughed Remy, jumping down from a ledge, bō staff back in hand.

Dominic turned, eyes flashing red, "drop the bō!"

Remy's eyes, flashed red and dropped the bō and fell face flat on the floor. Dominic picked them both up and swung them down the hallway.

"Remy! Emile!" Logan yelled, weapons in defensive position.

"I thought Dominic was a knife meister?" Whispered Remus.

Roman stared, "he was... This is what a three star meister is..."

"Ding, dong, ding..." Smirked Dominic, fangs out and hunched for an attack, "what's the matter? Aren't you afraid to die?"

Logan stared, "I'm terrified. No point in lying... But, fear is what keeps us all going. It's like an alarm clock. Sure it's sudden, but I need it..."

Dominic smirked and wen to run at him, but two blades shot past him, making him turn.

"HEY BITCH!" Remy came at him full speed, blood down his face and kicked him in the solar plexus.

Dominic gagged, falling back and coughed up blood.

"Huh, good move." Complimented Thomas, "going for the weakest part of the body."

"Shuriken mode!"

"Aye!"

Emile turned into a large shuriken, which Remy threw at Dominic.

Dominic jumped and landed on it, then jumped off of it, then slowly floated down, landing on his two feet.

Remy glared as Emile changed back to a bō and was caught by his meister.

Dominic hadn't even turned back to Logan yet, still focused on the loud assassin before him.

"Logan, Remus."

Logan and Remus looked to Roman, both twins now on the blade.

"Let's do what he said, see if we can match our souls wavelength."

Logan frowned, "but that's never worked for us before."

Remus grinned, "first time for everything. Besides it's us! We can do it!"

Logan looked to Dominic and began flowering his katanas. He spun them, left arm over the right and the right over left, slicing the katanas three times, creating figures of eight, twice down diagonally as the other rotated up, roaring his body left and right, in an incredibly fast movement due to how relaxed his hands and wrists were, then held them out in a battle stance.

"LETS GO, SOUL RESONANCE!" The three yelled in unison.

Their souls began connecting, like sparks of an electrical current.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"

The soul power was passed between the three, and Remy stared in shock, Dominic gasped and Thomas raised his eyebrows in shock.

The blades began to glow, one red and one green, as Logan brought them up above his head, crossed over each other, like an x.

"The Dual Katana Meister!" Logan said, then the katanas grew three sizes larger.

Remus had a green crown on his handle and Roman a red crown, Remus' blade was silver and Roman's was gold. Remus seemed to have what looked like tentacles wrapped on the blunt edge of the katana and tentacles on the handle, while Roman has swirls of vines on his blunt edge and handle.

"SUPER SLICER!" He brought the katanas down as an x and leaned forward, taking a step forward too, however, he didn't see the loose tile and tripped, falling.

The red and green electrical light formed an x, but due to Logan falling, missed Dominic and nearly hit Remy and Emile instead. Luckily Remy ducked, but it sliced the column and candle holder in half and made an x shaped hole in the wall.

It was silent as everyone stared in shock at the damage.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US?! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" Remy yelled, shaking in anger.

"Idiot!" Yelled Logan, gripping the katanas and facing them, "this is all your fault! Do it right next time!"

"Our fault?! This is all your fault!" Roman yelled back.

"You're the idiot! Getting mad at us for nothing!" Remus added.

Dominic stared at the arguing partners, "that was incredible power..."

"I'll do it without the power then!" Logan yelled, weapons defensive, "I'll do it the simple way!" He sliced, but Dominic was gone. "He's gone?"

"No, he's hiding..." Roman responded.

"But where?" Logan asked.

There was a yell behind him and in a puff of black smoke stood Dominic, about to strike him, but Remy appeared in between them.

He spun the bō staff, blocking the attack and then jabbed the vampire back, who disappeared into black smoke.

"What Dominic is doing now is assassins rule number one." Remy said, "Kusari-Gama."

"Aye." Emile changed back into his scythe chain mode, then spoke, "blend into the darkness and erase your breath. Look for an opening to attack your target."

"Emile why don't we get one step ahead." Remy said, now back to back with Logan.

"Right..." Emile started to coil around the two loose, then began to create a star.

Remy was silent, the free arm held up in front of his body, focused and he could here faint, tight breathing.

'Only one person is going to die in this castle...' Remy thought.

Logan frowned, 'Remy's movements are different then usual...'

'And it's not gonna be me!' Remy glared, the two now standing in the middle of the star.

'Assassins rule number two,' Remy thought, 'transpositional thinking, analyse the target in order to figure out its thoughts and movements. I can pick up his soul wavelength from Emile.'

Both Remy and Emile's eyes were closed, able to grasp the soup wavelength, he was above them and was planning to attack an second now.

'His breathing stopped...' Logan thought in surprise.

"And now...?" Thomas asked impatiently.

Dominic appeared in black smoke next to them, and Remy's eyes flew open and pulled the chain, "TRAP STAR ACTIVATE!"

The chains trapped Dominic's arms and legs, wrapping around him.

"I'm sending you back to the grave!"

He pulled on the chains.

"Ugh!"

"Huh?"

"What...?"

Remy began laughing, not noticing he had tied Logan, Remus and Roman up with Dominic, back to back.

"What are you doing, tying us up with him?!" Logan yelled.

"I wouldn't have to if you didn't get in my way." Remy shrugged.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

"So far so good." Thomas commented watching as the twins yelled about being let out.

"So now they just have to find the person responsible for this?"

The mirror switched off, now back to a regular mirror and Thomas turned to face the boy, "that's right, son."

"Who's responsible?" Janus asked, sitting on a golden, symmetrical chair with a skull on, to his right was Virgil and Patton, in that order. Patton was busy looking to the right. "Do you know?" Asked Janus.

Thomas hummed and looked down.

"They're no ordinary enemy... Are they?" Janus asked, hands clasped.

"You're familiar with my current weapon, right?" Thomas asked, letting Patton bend over, facing away from him. Patton was an angel and he allowed the boy to get away with most.

"Death Scythe, yeah. What about her?"

"You know of the meister who trained her?"

Janus modded, "Logan's father, what about her?"

"That's not quiet right... Logan's father was her meister, yes. But, she had another." Thomas confessed.

"So that means..." Janus trailed off, "this person was her first?"

"The person behind this is Doctor Joan West Stokes. Not only where they Death Scythes first partner, but also unquestionably the best meister to have graduated from SWMA."

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

Joan sat their desk, typing away, and rubbed his neck, "god my necks killing me." They fixed their munich glasses, that gleamed green from their neon green, blue, pink and purple house.

They pushed back on their neon green chair, a wooden pick in their mouth, "I give up." They sighed and closed their eyes, which had a reddish, purple high under them like bags.

They wore a pale blue button up shirt and black tie, with a white lab coat, that had blood stains on the rolled up sleeves, black pants and shoes, a black watch on one hand and glowing green tubes in their breast pocket.

The students stood outside the neon glowing house with Dominic tied up in the back, Roman, Remus and Logan now free.

Logan stared as the wind began to pick up.

"They're here."
