Chapter 6 - Day of Calm before the Day of the Storm.

Part 0: Beginning of the end...

Arc 1: The New Reapers.

(Sam is still running the 15km)

Jericho: (Shouting from above a cliff) Reyes! Pick up those legs if you want to make 15km!

Sam: I can't pick up my legs! There's something locked on it!

Jericho: Don't be a Smart-ass with me! Or I'll make it 30km.

Sam: Y… yes Ma'am!

(Peter, Kelly, Gabriela, Isabel and Fredric are looking at Sam running)

Kelly: How many Kilometers is he at now?

Peter: (Sitting in a chair still covered in string) 700m. I'm just wondering when this string will come off. Boy that conversation when Kane was carrying me was awkward…

Fredric: How sure are you that he'll make it to 15km?

Gabriella: To be honest I'm not completely sure. Not without a water bottle. (Tosses Isabel a water bottle) Go give that to him please.

Isabel: R…right.

(Isabel runs over to Sam)

Isabel: (Gives Sam the water bottle) Here you can't make it without thi-…

Jericho: (Snatches away the bottle using the string) *Tsk* *Tsk* No outside help, Mr. Reyes continue running.

(Sam continues running)

Able: (Sitting on a few stairs) (Quietly singing) Way hay and up she rises (x3).

Kane: (Comes from behind him) (Singing) What will we do with a drunken sailor early in the morning?

Able: Didn't know you liked Sea shanties.

Kane: I grew up with you I learned from there.

Able: *Hmph* Guess you're right. Sam went to his funeral earlier today… He spoke to Mom and Sara.

Kane: But what did they say about Reapers and speaking to loved ones who think you're dead. Sam knows there are rules.

Able: Sam was never one for rules anyway. I for one respect them!

Kane: Says the one who opened Dad's "Secret Happiness cabinet" and became the world's biggest perv after that.

Able: Listen I didn't know what was in there I thought it would be candy or something I was 10!

Kane: Say whatever you want you knew what was in there.

Able: (Stands up and points at Kane) Screw you I didn't!

Kane: (Walks away while slightly laughing) Yeah sure.

(In the woods near a campsite)

Anderson: (Standing over a dead monster) This is new…

Suzuki: (Walks out of the bushes) Anderson what's going on here?

Anderson: Monsters this close to the town. Something's off here. They haven't being this close since ever.

Suzuki: You sound fearful.

Anderson: If we are to be attacked… The recruits would be helpless. All the Reapers, humans and Demons.

Suzuki: So?

Anderson: I want a patrol every hour coming through here.

Suzuki: You're gonna have to ask Heibai for that.

Anderson: Let's hope for the best, maybe the worst won't come.

(A few hours later around 19:45)

(Outside the eating hall)

(Something is stumbling and walking around outside almost monster like)

(The thing opens the door to the eating hall and falls through)

(The "Monster" is Sam tired and out of breath)

Peter: Sam?

Sam: (Reaches out to someone) (Out of breathe) You… whiskey.

The Guy: (Hands it over) (Panicking) Here just take it please don't kill me and eat my organs!!!

Able: Sam you're only 17 you can't drink alcohol!

Sam: (Downs the entire bottle) Much better.

(Sam suddenly starts crying intensely)

Fredric: What's happening?

Kelly: Oh, oh I read about this! Reapers have a chemical reaction to alcohol. Whenever he drink alcohol his reaction will be a lot of tears and crying.

Able: (Helps Sam onto a seat) Jeez how many Kilometers did you run?

Sam: (Tears wear out) 16km…

Louis: You were only told to run 15km!!!

Sam: It was the 15km run then I had run an extra kilometer to get here...

Louis: Oh.

Sam: Can someone get me a warm meal, milk and then carry me to bed please? My legs kind of feel like mashed potatoes…

(Someone hands over a plate of food and a glass of milk)

Sam: Thanks.

(Sam starts eating) so what I miss through the day?

Able: You didn't miss anything. Did you have any of those hallucinations again?

Sam: Yeah. Though I saw someone in the bushes but it was most likely the fatigue-…

(Sam passes out from exhaustion)

Able: *Hmm* Can someone take him to his bed?

Isabel: Yeah sure I'm going to bed now anyway.

Able: Thank you.

Isabel: (Picks up Sam) Alley-oop.

Sam: (Tired and nearly asleep) Thank you.

(Someone opens the door and lets Isabel through)

(Isabel reaches the sleeping hall)

(Isabel attempts to open the door while holding Sam but loses balance and falls backwards)

(Sam and Isabel land on each other accidentally kissing)

(Sam wakes up from the fall and sees him and Isabel accidentally kissing)

Sam: (Rolls away) Sorry, sorry I didn't mean to!

Isabel: No, no it's all my fault!

Sam: No, no. (Thinking) Oh you really screwed up this time Logan you should've just walked here!

Isabel: (Thinking) He's gonna thinks this is all his fault! I was the one who lost balance!

Sam: (Thinking) She's gonna think I'm a total perv for kissing her! Think Logan, think!

Isabel: (Thinking) How do I get out of this!

Sam/Isabel: (In the heat of the moment) (They both shout at the same time) I love you!

(Sam and Isabel both realize what they just said)

(A student comes out of the other sleeping hall)

Angelo Regio: (Opens the door to the Reaper sleeping hall) (Brown wild hair, an unkept stubble and green eyes) (In an almost lazy tone) You two love birds could've just shouted for me to open the door. And not have made a scene.

Sam: Hehaha…

Isabel: (Laughing) This is awkward on a whole other level.

Angelo: Go in I won't tell anybody I always keep secrets… As long as you keep mine.

Isabel: We don't even know your secret.

Angelo: Good.

(Sam and Isabel go inside)

Sam: (Sits down on his bed) Sooo... Are we a thing now or...?

Isabel: (Setting her bed) Haha, maybe we are, maybe we aren't it all depends on what Fate has in store for us in the future.

Sam: Haha yeah.

Isabel: Just please don't tell anyone about the accidental kiss?

Sam: Yeah, but if Able asks I might tell him.

Isabel: Why?

Sam: Guy's known me for 7 years, he sees straight through my lies.

Isabel: Fine, just not the I love you bit.

Sam: Alright, alright.

Isabel: (Climbs into her bed) Rest easy.

Sam: (Climbs into his bed) Yeah, I'm gonna need to after that run, Goodnight.

(Narrator: What kind of fate awaits these two? Is it a cruel or a compassionate one? Only time will tell! Only two things are known; The Rogue Reaper will come forth and something is going on with the monsters of the area! Who is the strange figure known that Sam sees? What is Angelo Regio's secret? A light of truth will be shined on all these mysteries! To all True Reapers! Kakumei o tsudzukeru!!!)

(Outside)

Kane: (Walks over to Angelo) Hey bastard!

(Kane pushes Angelo onto a wall)

Kane: (Grabs Angelo by the neck) What are you doing here!?

Angelo: Honestly you should ask that question to yourself.

Kane: I'm here because I see things different now!

Angelo: No you're here because you're afraid of death. I know you're trying to keep what's her name? Valentina! You want to keep her away from the grasps of 7 sins, honestly what would Seth say?

Kane: I don't give a damn about what he says!!!

Angelo: But yet you agreed with him and ran away from home!

Kane: I should just kill you right now!

Angelo: Try it! Another student would go missing! I doubt suicide would work this time! Oh and for a little bit of context I was the one who murdered Alex Shaw, suicide was the perfect getaway!!

Kane: Why did you-…?

Angelo: (Pushes Kane away) Bye-bye.

Kane: (Grabs Angelo's arm) I saw you talk to Sam… Don't even think about dragging him into this!

Angelo: Relax I won't even attempt to drag those 2 love birds into this crazy world of ours.

Kane: "Love birds"?

Angelo: Haha I can have a little fun can I? (Takes away his arm) We only need Gluttony, Lust and Wrath so If you want to stop the 7 deadly sins you're gonna have to act fast…

Kane: I won't let you take and corrupt her!

Angelo: Try to stop me; I beat you once before I don't see why it can't happen again. Also you're afraid that big bro Seth would come and safe me. Now it's 20:00 it's time for me to go to bed. As the oldest member of these "Students" I have a lot of "duties" to fulfill.

(Angelo walks away)

Kane: *Tch* Bastard, I'm gonna have to act fast to stop them...

(The next day)

(At the exercise field)

Jericho: Alright now! Since Mr. Suzuki called off from work today I get to have a bit more fun you! (Walks over to Sam) Hmm?

Sam: Please don't make me run another 15km. My legs still hurt I had to be carried to bed last night!

Jericho: Alright, alright calm down.

Sam: I also discovered Whiskey makes me cry and that punching a tree full force dislocates a finger even if it did heal kinda fast. As well as-…

Jericho: Okay, okay jeez you're gonna make me tear up!

Sam: Also found happiness yesterday.

Peter: What is he going on about?

Fredric: Oh he punched a tree to get the rage out yesterday, the whiskey thing you saw. Not sure about "Happiness" though but I do have my suspicions.

Peter: What are they?

Fredric: Well last night Isabel did carry him… You already have that suspicion that they're together.

Peter: Oh I see what you're getting at.

Fredric: Yes, She's also being smiling at him the whole day.

Peter: She always smiles.

Fredric: But not so much towards a single person.

Peter: Yeah you are right there… So what do you think happened?

Fredric: First kiss.

Peter: Makes sense if I were to be held by the person who saved me I'd kiss em too.

Fredric: That sounded wrong on so many levels I'ma just forget ya said that.

Peter: Fair enough.

Jericho: Please just stop telling me about how bad your day was!

Sam: Then I got this watch…

Jericho: (In a broken voice) Ah I just can't take it anymore! Fine you win I'm sorry for making you run 15km while you were weighed down 75kg!

Sam: (Thinking while keeping a sad expression) Sweet, sweet darling revenge.

Anderson: (Grabs Jericho's shoulder from behind) *Hmph* Ms. Griffin did you remember what you wanted to teach them today?

Jericho: Oh yeah… Listen up I'll be unlocking all your Magica Elementa's today! Through several ways the Reapers you already have your Magica potential you only need to be pushed to the edge of unlocking the Elementa! The Demons the same for you! And humans; training non- stop!

Anderson: Reyes? You feel only a few push-ups away from your Elementa.

Sam: Yeah running 15km while being weighed down does that.

Anderson: Jericho what I tell you about the 15km hell run?

Jericho: Come on! I didn't have someone do that one in a while! I wanted to see what would happen!

Sam: Wait so you put me through all that pain and you didn't know what would happen!

Jericho: (Turns to Sam) Noo... Yeah.

(A man comes running over)

The Man: (In a panicked state) (Out of breathe) Mr. Redfield, Mr. Redfield!

Anderson: What!?

The Man: (Out of breathe) The… The…

Anderson: Breathe.

The Man: (A little rested) The town's under attack by monsters!!!
