Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was one of the early mornings, she was fast asleep at one of the shacks she had bought for shelter. It was a nice-looking and had only the basics: a table, small couch, basic TV, drawers, and bed. She had no waterline to the house so she had to wash herself and some clothes at the river nearby with some environment friendly soap and stain removers. She was dirt poor, barely having any money to buy food, clothes, and school supplies.....at the surface. But at the bottom of the shack is where so much money was it, because of her spree as the Grim Reaper. Being the Grim Reaper and stealing money and everything valuable from 'criminals' gave her tons and TONS of money. And that was going to be saved for college...hopefully a good university so she didn't live like this.

The girl checked herself in the mirror she bought at the flea market, and saw that her basic large jacket, black t-shirt, tennie shoes and bootleg jeans from Goodwill are good..good and clean also. With her worn-out backpack over her shoulders. She had to go and leave for school. School had started a week ago so she was adjusting to to the high-school routine. With her hair all good and clean, she gets out of the shack early in the morning to catch transportation. She used the bus as an excuse to catch some snoozes since it would take about 30 minutes to get to the bustop that was close to the school. Once she got in and paid her fare, she then sat down and watched the bus move from the place. She knew her part-time job was good enough for fast food and bus money, but it was getting to the point that clothes and school supplies will be drawn from her 'college fund' which meant she will have to find different criminals, possibly from a different state.

As she watched the bus run, she felt her phone vibrating. And yes she bought a phone....but when people ask she said it was a gift from a friend who thought it was 'unsafe' for her not to have one. It was an old iPhone but it was nice. She then saw the scythe symbol cover the whole screen. It was the phone given to her by death...yep, Death. Death was her boss, and she is responsible for getting rid of the evil that was taking over the good. Basically she has to make sure everything was balanced. But now there was more trouble. "I got some leads about the first Deadly Sin."

Yes, the Deadly Sins have gotten away from the Pandora Box. Seven Deadly Sins anyways, they have escaped a week ago and Death had to locate them so Shilga can pick them out and seal them back in. "Alright, whose the first victim?"

"Its Envy. And it seems like it took over a bit of the 'Hollywood', so now things are going nuts." "You do realize a poor s**t like me won't get close to the red carpet." "As Shilga....no. As Grim Reaper...yes. For now though stay silent since Envy will most undoubtedly try to find you. And careful...I heard the camera people are merciless. I'll teleport you to the location after your 'school work' is done" "You mean Paparazzi? Yeah they can be." A short conversation was done, and it gave Shilga a good 27 minutes of sleep. Until the bus came to a halt and it made Shilga get up immediately, she knew when the bus got to the destination. She picked up her backpack and went through the entrance to the school to get through the day.

Of course she already hated the kid crowd in this place. Every kid is about the look: the cool hat, the cool shoes, the cool pants, the cool shirt, the cool phone, the cool sunglasses, blah blah blah. It made the girl irritated since it didn't help her make ANY comrade, and an enemy to one of the popular girls who Shilga slammed her with the locker door....'accusingly' since Shilga did not see her there and was such in a rush to get to class. So with time on her hands, she decided to go inside one of the classrooms to review the homework she had. It gave her an excuse to make sure her work as the Grim Reaper did not get in the way of school. Since it was 10 minutes before the bell, it was plenty of time to sit and relax....maybe get a few minutes of shut-eye too.

After a good 10 minutes, the bell rang in which brought in the teacher and some students as well. Shilga groaned as she did not want to deal with the people's loud chatter and laughter that would disrupt her peace. She then just had her cheek lean against her hand, as everyone got into their seats. In the classroom, the Teacher had gotten out the schedule of the class. And it went from there.

As time passed through the day, it only had Shilga think about the past. Her eyes narrowed when she remembered the screams and faces of those people that had harmed her, when she went berserk because she was deprived of food so badly her mind couldn't comprehend anything until it was too late. It was nothing unusual for her to deal with as all the classes went by. It was a relief when lunchtime came, as it gave Shilga an excuse to think about things more. And of course it only reminded her of how 'poor' she was because she couldn't afford lunch. She just ended up sitting by the huge oak tree that was in the middle of the courtyard. It was a favorite among the students during the summer because of how much shade it provided. A lot stood on one side while she was to the left sitting there, trying to get her stomach to stop hurting. As she sat there, suddenly she felt her phone vibrate. Then a text came in saying: "Watch out...Demon is here."

That was enough as she then had to go to the back of the school to transform. Her transformation helped her out to hide her identity: her hair is longer, her body is somewhat slimmer (not much), and of course the clothes and the huge scythe kind of distracted everyone from her looks. "Do you know if it's one of Envy's minions?" "I think it has built up from the students, envying the others because of the riches....typical teenage stuff. So you need to get rid of them...and quickly...they are spreading like fire." Shilga then had to jump up on the building and look down on the people, putting on her half-face mask so she can hide her identity well. She could sense the darkness in the areas. "Which one is the main course?" "In the hallway, down to your right. It's someone disguised as a student." "Anyone that is known and will be in the newspaper?"

"No."

"Good." She then jumped down and booked it, which surprised everyone and even some shouted 'Grim Reaper'. She found the hallway in which the darkness was so strong it made her hesitant for a second. Inside was of course...a girl...pathetic. To her, she saw a huge black shadow in which was scary but to everyone else's [even to the 'white knight's'] eyes, it was a girl who just...looked demonic. "Grim Reaper." The voice hissed and the area around them got dark and purple, basically an evil barrier to which only the two could go in...unless your a 'certain' white knight. "I was sent by Envy to destroy you. And destroy you I shall!" <******** typical." She then attacked the demon with her scythe, using her power to create a force in which would blow it back. "I am not in the mood to deal with you, so just die will you?" She then twirled it around and attempted another move. "Watch out....another enemy approaching...and it seems bright...too bright...it's not a demon."

When the barrier was getting interrupted, it was time to go. The minion then got away and it made the girl growl. "HEY, GET BACK HERE!" She tried chasing the dark demon but they got away quickly. The barrier was then shattered and it forced Shilga to go back to reality as she then saw the person who broke it. Basically an angel interrupted their battle. "Seems like an Angel caught wind...be careful....they don't side with 'non-pure' people very well." Death whispered through the scythe as she then looked the man up and down. She then tched. "Thanks a lot a*****e, I was about to get rid of the vile thing! Then you come in and let them get away." She then swung the scythe around to show her strength.

She then thought the angel looked familiar, but for some reason she couldn't figure it out. She then could still see the demon's trail and then stared back at the angel. "No time to deal with you. Gotta do my job!" She then rushed at the demon getting away. They got out of the school and had to dodge plenty of cars to the point they got to a lot that was recently bulldozed which was where Shilga jumped in the air and sliced the demon in half, a high-pitched scream echoed before the being disappeared. "Seems like there's more to them....and watch out....I think the angel's following you." "Don't care, better get back to normal form!' She knew returning to school would mean a detour so she had to jump on the roof, overlooking to try to find the angel.

"Somebody's a little impatient!" She yipped as he swung the sword down and almost hit her on the head...which could've killed her. She then stared at the man who seemed to be a bit....frustrated. "Seriously? Can you just chill out?" She wondered if she can calm the guy down so she could explain herself but it didn't look like it. "Fine."

She changed her scythe into a laser gun that wrapped around her hand and arm. She then aimed it at the guy and fired a huge beam. If it missed, it would just fade away into nothing. She growled as she then fired again at him multiple times just to get him. She knew that she had to aim, because that energy was connected to hers. So she knew if she fired more than needed, she would faint. She then gasped for air as she tried not to fire so much. In the end, she changed it back to a scythe and then decided to fire the attack at him, knowing it was the power from the scythe than her body and went after him. "Whose your boss?! Tell them they got the wrong guy!" She shouted at him, as she then took another look at him. "If only he was not my enemy and me not being.....then I would've tried to 'get to know' him a bit." "NO TIME FOR THAT!" Death sparked inside her head as she was trying to dodge his attacks as well. She then got up on one roof and could hear people down below. "THIS IS NOT A SHOW! GET THE HELL OUT!" She fired an attack in front of them, intentionally just trying to scare them and not hurt them. She hated those people with the recording phones and cameras just because they wanted 'likes' on the social media and 15-minute fame.

"Damn it." She thought as she had proven what she was trying to tell him she wasn't. "It wasn't to hurt them moron! It was to get them away from US!" But nobody will listen will they? She knew returning to school with this guy behind her would be a problem. So she then had to stare at the man and then decided she needed an escape. So she then had the weapon aim at the ground and since it was full power, dust and a lot of dirt exploded in the air and created a distraction. With that she then was able to run back to the school knowing she had a few seconds and hid in the darkness where she could transform back to the human form. She already could hear people blurting out about their experience with 'Grim' and the 'Mysterious man', and it made her grumble a bit. "Who was that person?" "Don't know...for now...keep an eye open. He might be aware of your true form as well. Don't let your guard down. I bet he'll be in Hollywood tonight to find you again." With that she then sat down hearing her stomach grumble so loud to the point she thought there was a monster around her. "Oooow.....the pain!" She had her head on her knees, trying very hard to make the pain go away but it was inevitable.

She ended up going back to class, hungry....she knew it was the con of being homeless so she had to suffer through it until the bell rang. Afterward, she had the backpack over her shoulders and continued on her way to school. But suddenly she was stopped by the neighborhood bullies who she realized are quite well aware of her 'gender'. "Out of the way morons." She was not in the mood especially on how hungry she was. "Hey, we have a fare for anyone who wants to pass. 10 dollars or a few punches will suffice." "Screw you man, get out of my way!" She tried shoving them off, but since she was not 'Grim' it was kind of pathetic of her to try to fight them. It only made her land on her back and groan from pain. "She seems feisty man!" They all were laughing which only made her more angry, but she knew her limit.....and she hated it.

After a bit of a 'game' from these bullies, she finally got help from a teacher who just saw the whole thing and made them break it up. Without any punches and/or money taken, she was able to get up and got ready to go home...of course it would require some bus transportation to get there. During the driving, she had read the book through the certain amount of pages for her English homework and also some textbooks while she was at it. She then used her hard binders to try to get through the homework. She got about 80% done when the bus got to her location. She then stood up, paid her fare, and left.

Getting to the shack, she sat on the dinky table and continued on the homework until it was done. Satisfied, she got up and was prepared to leave. "You know what to do?" "Alright....hold still, I'll teleport you to Hollywood."After a few moments, she was engulfed with black smoke and she was in an isolated area where Hollywood was. It was amazing to be able to teleport like this. "Ok...so what am I looking for?" "There is a red carpet event going on for a recently released movie. Envy probably decided a celebrity brawl between women would be interesting. When you see one woman making a fight for no reason, step in. Also use the sleep bomb so every human except the 'possessed' will stay awake." "Ok, thanks."

"Be careful, that angel might be here too..." Those words made the girl glare at the streets as she then sighed: "Just an Occupational Hazard."
________________________________________________________________

Nighttime had rolled around with Grim sitting on one of the roofs, overlooking the Red Carpet. She couldn't help but be jealous of the people who are rich while she was dirt poor. It sucked in a way but she had to remain focused for the demon...AND the angel. "Alright, when the fight rolls around..intervene and kick that sins a**." She chuckled, a little excited for the fight. She just hoped the angel wouldn't be too bothersome anyways....she needed to do her job in keeping up the balance anyways.

Of course, being there was the easy part. She stared at the flashing cameras and was just waiting for something to happen..but it didn't seem to be that way. The flashing was making it really hard to focus. She had to use her arm to cover the light to she could see. As she waited she saw a lone car coming on by. That to her was a bit suspicious. She stared at that car and it seemed to sit there and waited until everything dispersed into the theater. Afterward the individual came out. She then used her scythe to pinpoint who it was. If it was a human, it would know its life and when the individual would die. But this person does not have a death. "Found the sin!" She then jumped down and then attacked it with the scythe. The hat flew off from the individual and it revealed the true face with pointed ears and lite-blue skin. "You really thought you were going to get in there and absorb envy?"

"Ah! pooey! It looks like I am trapped." The tone it had meant that there was something wrong. A trap maybe? Then suddenly a black ring was in the ground and a huge hand was coming out, to the point she had to jump out. "Well now! This was unexpected, but Imma find this entertaining." She then could see the creature snarling with its scary white mask with no emotion and huge black hands go down on the street, it made many cars flip which will unfortunately track a lot of attention quickly. Then Envy was getting away into the movie theater which made the girl growl. "HEY! GET BACK HERE-" She was going to chase it but the creature refused to let her past. "Damn it! Out of the way!" She fired her scythe at it and tried to kill it as much as possible, as she knew Envy was going to use the whole celebrity tabloids to become powerful.
