Angel Beats

[Raven]

Some people can't accept their lives, even after they're already dead. Those people pass into limbo, and a certain group - high-school aged children - come to the afterlife high school. There they can study, and go to school to live a better life. Ultimately, though, this will lead to their Obliteration. When people have no reason to stay there, they pass on. They disappear. To avoid this, certain students have banded together to fight the student body president, known as Angel, and to fight God himself. These students call themselves the Afterlife Battlefront. Their goal is to stay as alive as they can be - and to eventually obliterate Angel once and for all.

Name: Adam Clark
Position: Afterlife Battlefront

Adam raced around the corner towards his post. He was late, again. Rakel was going to eat him alive. He shouldn't have stopped to talk to that girl - she was probably even an NPC and only even talked because there wasn't a class going on right now. Stupid. How could he have risked this mission just to talk to a damn NPC? Angel was probably already to the bridge. He was screwed. At least if Angel stabbed him through the chest, Rakel might give him a break when he woke up. He tried to stop the smile that came to his face at the next thought: maybe Rakel would lecture him while he was still unconscious, and he'd get out of listening to it. He nodded to himself. That's what he'd hope for. He pulled out his gun as he ran, hoping that Angel wasn't already inside.

Name: Kenny Clark
Position: Newb

A loud pounding was making Kenny's head ache. What was going on? Where was he? They had to stop that noise. If he didn't stop the noise, his father was going to demand what it was. What was it? Kenny squeezed his eyes shut tighter than they already were. It sounded like Adam's band - but they hadn't been nearly this good. The twelve-year-old boy band had really consisted of three people. They hadn't been good enough to play anywhere real, or to have anyone who actually liked their music. Most of their music had just been them learning to play popular songs. They hadn't played anything in years. Or, rather, Kenny hadn't heard them play. Once Adam had stopped playing for the band, they'd had to find somewhere other than his house to play. He'd heard they had gotten a lot better - they had played at school dances and festivals. Once they even played at a charity event. There was no way this was them, though. He never went to any of those things - he couldn't be hearing them. Come to think of it, where was he? He wasn't in bed, the surface beneath him was too hard for that. Maybe Mrs. Thomson hadn't found him yet. He'd somehow woken up on the kitchen floor. Only, that didn't make sense either. There was a wind here, like he was outside. And if he was on his kitchen floor, it also didn't explain the music. Or the fact that nothing hurt. Maybe he was dead. He wasn't sure how he felt about that, but he figured if he were, he could find out later. He'd just rest here and enjoy the music. His eyes relaxed, but he kept them closed.

Name: Angel // Nikolai Bailey
Position: Student body president

He had to get them back to bed. As student body president, it was his job to make sure the students here followed the rules. They had to. His eyes scanned the area. According to his analysis, the bridge was devoid of life. It was exactly where he was going. His shoes tapped against the stone as he walked. If he didn't get the students back to their dorms, they wouldn't get enough sleep and they would be tired in class. After napping in class, they would stay up late again, and the cycle would continue until they all failed their final tests. It was unacceptable. They simply had to go to school. He crossed the bridge without a problem.

Name: Alex Chase
Position: Afterlife Battlefront

The music filled his very bones. Music was something he always had, and it wasn't about to change here. Especially now that the battlefront needed him. His guitar hummed along with the rest of the band. The instruments all blended together to create one thing. Even though they were all separate things, they all made something so much better. This was his own rebellion. Even God couldn't take his music away from him - not ever. No matter what else was stolen, he would never give this up.

Rakel stood on the catwalk above the stage, looking out at the crowd of NPC's cheering for the blasting music that was pounding out of the speakers on the stage. Rakel smirked. It was a very good thing going deaf wasn't a thing here. She pushed her dark red hair out of her eyes and watched the door and the crowd, waiting for the right time to give the signal to turn on the fans.

[Raven]

The music stopped when the song finished. Kenny had sat up and opened his eyes before the next song started. He was indoors, but windows on one end let in the breeze he'd felt. He got shakily to his feet. A concert was going on below him. In the low light, he could just make out another person standing not too far away, and he approached her.

[Gifted]

Catherine Jensen wasn't exactly a rock artist. She much preferred the soccer field to the stage. But when The leader of battlefront had show her Operation Tornado and said they needed a band, Catherine had stepped up to the plate as lead singer. She couldn't play any instruments, and she wasn't much of a writer, but she had a presence and sang her heart out on stage. She knew full well if the concert did get shut down the consequences would be dire, but that hadn't happened yet.
She was abut to play their biggest song, one of the last songs of the night. The fans usually went on at about the middle of this one, so it was by far the most important. She heard the guitars come in and the drum beat of the intro begin and the crowd roared as they recognized the song.


Rakel heard someone moving on the other end of the catwalk and turned to see a familiar comrade-in-arms. But he looked all wrong... he was wearing the regular school uniform and he wasn't even supposed to be up here! She'd stationed him outside with the task of keeping Angel out! Didn't he understand what would happen to the band if Angel got in here? "What the hell are you doing here?" She demanded. "Why aren't you at your post?"

[Raven]

"What?" Kenny asked. What post? Why did she act like she knew him? She couldn't be talking about Adam, either... That simply wasn't possible.

[Gifted]

"What do you mean, what? This is the thirdtime you've been late, and why the hell are you even all the way over here anyway? I am pretty sure you're supposed to be stationed on the bridge!" Rakel snapped.

[Raven]

Kenny shook his head. "No, you've got the wrong person," he said, simply.

[Gifted]

"We need extra manpower on the bridge, Adam's neglected his position again." Rakel hadn't even heard him, speaking now into her radio and trying to make up for Adams blunder. "Angel will probably be over there. If he's got any brains, he'll take advantage of the mistake." She shut t off and looked up at Kenny again. "What if the others don't make it to the bridge in time, huh? What if Angel gets by while everyones distracted and a man short? How could you put the band in additional danger like that, Adam? And what the hell are you wearing, anyway? Where's your uniform?"

[Raven]

How the hell did she know Adam? Adam was dead. He had been dead for almost a month. Kenny shook his head. These kids probably thought it was a good idea to bring him up here and play a joke. That it would be so funny to joke about his dead brother. "Very funny," Kenny said, coldly. "I don't even know you, and you think that's such a great idea?" He turned to walk away.

Adam swore. He was so dead. How did Rakel know that? He'd hoped she would remain oblivious this time, or that she wouldn't know until later, at least. He was in for it big time. Angel made it across the bridge without a problem, but scrunched up his face when a bullet struck the side of his knee. "Guard skill: hand sonic." His metal blade grew without a problem as his leg started to heal. He turned around to face his attacker. Adam Clark had made it. He deflected the next bullet with the hand sonic.

[Gifted]

"You think this is a joke?" Rakel grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled out her Black Rose dagger. She'd duplicated it as soon as she'd learned how to create things in this world. "I should run you through with my dagger right here and now." She hissed angrily at him. "We're in the middle of an operation and you go go mouthing off stupid jokes?! Just go die, Adam!"

[Raven]

Rage filled Kenny's face and he shoved her, punching her when she was off him. "Who the hell do you think you are, huh?" His voice cracked with a mixture of fury and sadness. He advanced on her with anger that would scare him later. How dare she talk about his brother like that!

[Gifted]

Rakel staggered back in surprise. How dare Adam punch her! He knew exactly why she was so angry with him. "Who the hell do you think you are? You're sure as hell lucky we're on this catwalk and spilling your blood would frighten the NPC's or I'd stab you right here and now! What about Alex and Catherine and all the others? Do you want Angel to obliterate them?"

Meanwhile, the song was reaching its climax and Catherine shot a glance at the catwalk nervously, trying to catch Rakel's eye as she sang. Where were the fans?

[Raven]

"What the hell are you even talking about?" Kenny asked, furious that she wasn't even addressing the problem.
