In a dark space, a young sixteen-year old boy named Kyon had suddenly been woken up by loud rattling noise. As his eyes looked around, he heard the rattling noise again, and he "What's that noise?!" "Crud! People are coming!" A voice said from outside the coffin. "Gotta get a uniform while..." The voice grunted as it struggled to open the lid, and said "Grrr! The lid is too heavy! Time for my...secret move!" It then performed its secret move as it said "Guwaahuuh! There!" Blue fire flashed all around Kyon as he yelped in terror, and said "Gyaaaa! F-Fire?!" Then, it opened the lid, revealing a room full of floating coffins as it said "Ok, ok. Gotta get-." It stopped talking as it screamed, and it said "Whaaaaaaa! Why are you up?!" Kyon screamed in fright as he stared at a male cat with gray fur with a white patch on his chest, pink paw pads, blue eyes, and blue flames blazing from the ears, a black and white-striped bow on the neck, and a pitchfork-shaped tail, and said "A t-talking raccoon!"

The cat got mad when he heard the word raccoon as he said "Just who are you calling a raccoon?! I am the Great Grim!" He grunted as he said "Well, whatever. Hey, human! Hurry and gimme those clothes!" "Clothes?" Kyon asked as he looked down at what he was wearing over his usual clothes. It was a black and purple robe with gold trimming and gold keys on the purple fabric. "Otherwise...I'll roast ya!" Grim said as he breathed blue fire. "Dreaming about getting roasted by a raccoon?" Kyon asked. "That's a new one." Grim got mad again as he said "I said I'm not a freaking raccoon!" "I honestly don't care what you are! Just get away from me!" Kyon said. Just then, a voice called out "Hello?! Is anyone out there?" "Huh?" Kyon asked. "Haruhi?! Is that you?! Where are you?!"

"I'm next to you!" Kyon's friend named Haruhi Suzumiya said. "Hold on! I'll get you out!" Kyon said as he ran to the coffin near him, and with all of his might, he opened it. Taylor Earhardt jumped out as Kyon said "Are you ok?" "I think so." Haruhi said. Just then, they heard more voices calling for help, and it belong to their friends named Yuki Nagato, Mikuru Asahina, Itsuki Koizumi, and Yasumi Watahashi. Then, by working together, they got them out of their coffins. Once they were out, Kyon said "Is everyone ok?" "We're fine." Yuki said. "Yeah, but, where are we?" Itsuki asked. "We're not exactly sure." Cole said. "Hey!" Grim said trying to get their attention. "Give me those clothes, right now! And hurry! I'm on a schedule here!" "Who's that?" Mikuru asked. "Who cares?!" Yasumi asked. "Let's just get out of here!" They then nodded, and they ran off. ran down the hallway, past the classrooms, through the courtyard, and they went into the library. After they managed to catch their breath, Itsuki Koizumi looked at Kyon, and said "Where the heck are we?" "I told you, we're not sure." Kyon said.

Just then, they yelped in surprise when they were nearly hit by the blue flames. They looked over to see Grim standing there with a smug look on his face, and he said "Did you really think you'd all get away from my nose? Dumb humans!" He chuckled as he said "If you don't wanna get roasted, one of you better hand over-!" Just then, a cord suddenly tied Grim up as he said "Ow! What's with this cord?!" "Huh?" Kyon asked. "What happened?" Haruhi asked. "This is no mere cord!" A man with black hair, gold eyes, wearing a raven mask, a top hat, a suit underneath a jacket with feathers on it, white socks, and white and black shoes named Dire Crowley said. "It is a lash of love!" He looked at Cole Evans and his friends as he said "Ah, found you all at last. Are you all the new students?" "Uh, what?" Yuki asked. "You all shouldn't do things like that." Crowley said. "Leaving the gate on your own. Not only that, you have yet to tame your familiar which has broken a number of school rules."

As Dire Crowley picked Grim up, he struggled, and said "Let me go! I'm not their freaking familiar!" "Sure, sure." Crowley said not believing what Grim had to say. "The rebellious ones always say things like that. Just quiet down for a moment." He covered Grim's mouth as he muffled in anger. "My goodness." Crowley said. "It's unprecedented for new students to leave the gate on their own. Ugh. How impatient can you all be? The entrance ceremony is already well underway. Let's head to the Hall of Mirrors." "New students?" Kyon asked. "Gate?" Mikuru asked. "It's the room you all woke up in with all of the doors." Crowley said. "All students who wish to attend this academy must pass through one of those doors to arrive here. Normally, students wake up only after the doors are opened with a special key, but-" Kyon interrupted him as he said "So, those coffins were actually doors." "And the fire must have blown the lid off." Yasumi said. "So, in the end, the culprit appears to be this familiar." Crowley said. "If you're going to bring it, you have to take responsibility and properly take care of him. Oh my! Now, isn't the time to be long-winded. The entrance ceremony will soon come to a close. Let's get a move on." "Just a second, where exactly are we?" Kyon asked. "And who are you?" Itsuki asked. "What's this?" Crowley asked. "Are you all still dazed? It appears the teleportation magic has left you all disoriented. Well, it is fine. It happens often enough. I shall give you all an explanation as we make our way. For I am gracious." Then, they all walked out of the library as they made their way to the entrance ceremony.
