Chapter 17: Victory

The sounds of weapons clashing could be heard from the DWMA. The skies were grey and cold, which was out of the ordinary for the hot desert of Death City. The streets were covered with a light sheet of snow. From the windows the citizens of Death City could see the lights flashing from the DWMA. Kids in their homes would climb up to see out the window. Excitement grew in their beings as they asked their parents for permission to play outside in the snow, completely oblivious with the battle at the DWMA. Of course the parents ignored these request and pulled them away from the windows, hoping to distract them with something else, already used to the chaos in Death City.

Once Tsubaki's leg was defrosted, she jumped into Blackstar's hands as her usual chain scythe mode. He grasped the handles firmly as he made a mad dash towards Lord Death and Pitch's battle.

Maka, with Soul in hand, flew side by side with Jack. They looked at each other with agreement and flew in above Lord Death and managed a simple attack on Pitch which surprisingly threw him back, smashing him against the side of the DWMA. Lord Death was relieved to find Maka and Jack ok. He gave them his usual thumbs up. By then all the Guardians gathered to greet the now sane Jack.

"Jack!" they screamed in unison. The snow spirit smiled and a small blush appeared on his cheeks as they said his name. He was used to the attention he had from the elder guardians, but this was a bit to much for him. "Miss me guys?" He grinned showing his usual cheery self, which everyone was relieved to see.

"Don't ever do that again mate!" Bunny exclaimed as he brought down a paw on the snow spirit's upper back. Jack laughed as he rubbed the spot Bunny had slapped him. Everyone smiled at Bunny's rough affection, all of them knew he was just as worried as everyone else was, although he had a 'special' way of showing it. The reunion was cut short by an attack Pitch had sent to the gathered group. He had gathered his corrupted sand and sent it like a wave towards the group. The group of Guardians reacted quickly and avoided the dangerous attack, their reunion would have to wait till the end of the battle. The four flying Guardians flew away from the attack while North and Bunny miraculously dodged the giant wave of black sand madness.

"We need to do something quick, the madness is spreading even more, I don't know how longer I'll be able to protect everyone from the madness" Maka yelled as she flew closer to Lord Death's and Pitch's battle. Her shouts gained everyone's attention except for Lord Death and Pitch of course. The Guardians and Miesters regrouped as fast as they could. The attacks slowing down a bit after Pitch dealt with the damage Lord Death had given him.

"Let's do a Chain Resonance!" Kid suggested, wiping a small amount of blood from his cheek. The twin pistols in his hands exclaimed, agreeing to his plan. Blackstar nodded in agreement thinking that would be the best choice to end this battle.

"We need to include Lord Death, with his power as well, it will be the only way we'll be able to defeat Pitch" Maka muttered as she observed the bright clashing of power attacks from the two fighting spirits. Luckily the Nightmare attacks had stopped now that Pitch needed to concentrate completely on one opponent. Which meant he was starting to falter.

"We shall distract, whilst you attack" North suggested as he held up his twin blades. Sandy nodded and formed a thumbs up above his head.

"I don't know how long we'll be able to distract him, but we'll try our best!" Tooth said, determination growing in her voice. She looked over at Bunny with a brave smile.

He nodded at her and held up his trusty weapon. "Alrighty mates! Let's do this!" All the Guardians gathered together and charged towards Pitch.

Sandy and Jack were up front going first, they were to stop him with their powers since from past experiences and their current battle showed that they were able to stop him at a certain degree. While this was going on Lord Death would regrouped with Maka and the other Miesters.

Jack and Sandy shot at Pitch , this duo attack sent him flying away from Lord Death and into a DWMA wall. The Guardians gestured towards the group of Miesters coming up towards Lord Death.

"We'll take care of him!" Jack shouted as he began to freeze Pitch against the wall. The death god nodded and went to join his students.

"Father we must do a Chain Resonance!" Kid shouted as he approached his father. He gave a peace sign, "Yes, with that we should knock him out and Maka can go and purify this madness"

The group of Miesters stood in formation. All with eyes closed. Their souls begin to magnify as they all connected together. The barrier surrounding the DWMA began to flow brightly. The wind blew harshly as the power poured into each individual. With eyes bright and determination up all the Miesters charged towards Pitch who was now throwing attacks at the Guardians.

Their loud battle cries made them look over to the charging Miesters. The Guardians moved out of the way and let the Miesters take their shot at Pitch.

Without having time to think Pitch was attacked from everywhere. He couldn't see his opponents and soon fear started to fill the deformed Pitch. He felt attacks from all angles and couldn't find a way to counter or protect himself from this unstoppable force.

The screams filled the area, and with one mighty blow from everyone, Pitch was sent into a crater right in front of the school entrance, unconscious.

"Now's your chance Maka!" Kid yelled as he landed right outside the crater. Maka nodded at his Shinigami friend and flew into the crater, and kneeled right at Pitch's side. All the eyes on his face twitched violently as they knew they were in trouble.

The ash blonde girl closed her eyes and touched Pitch's forehead. Darkness began to fill her senses and soon she was gobbled up by the blackness.

~o0o~

Maka had opened her eyes and let out a loud gasp as if she was just drowning and she had reached the surface for a big gulp of air. She looked around her surroundings. She was floating in utter darkness. The feeling of fear and madness clawing at her senses. She shook her head know what she had to do right now.

She began floating around as she tried to locate Pitch. A bright blue light appeared at a distance and she swam for it. It was her soul. Only it looked different than what she had seen before. It was bigger, and more bright. As soon as she held it in her gloved arms she felt the madness and fear that had been clawing at her disappear.

She sighed and looked around once more for Pitch. It felt like hours had pass by, but who knows. She sees a bright red light at a distance. 'Gotcha' she thought to herself. She swam towards it which felt like forever. But eventually she reached it. In the red bubble was Pitch, slouched and unconscious. Maka pressed her hands against the bubble and pushed herself through the little container.

There laid Pitch. His expression twisted with fear. He just wanted power to defeat the Guardians. But he seemed to bite off more than he could chew. Maka crouched down to him and carried him into her shoulders. As soon as she pressed her hand on the bubble again, it popped. She looked around and saw a bright white light. She swam towards it, Pitch on her shoulders still unconscious.

"Maka" a voice exclaimed. Said Miester closed her eyes as she approached the light. "Soul" she whispered as her hand began to reach the light.

A hand pushed through the light and grabbed her hand, bringing her into the bright light along with Pitch.

~o0o~

The pig tailed girl sat up gasping, small droplets of sweat rolling down her cheeks. She looked around as the white room she was in began to adjust. She frowned as the place she was at looked very familiar. "Infirmary" she mumbled.

The bed next to her contained Pitch, looking back to his normal self again, still unconscious. A small knock came from the door and Maka quickly whipped her head back to find the source of the knock.

"Glad to see you're awake, it's been 5 hours" the snow spirit chuckled as he walked into the room.

Maka groaned a bit as she felt her body ache a bit. "Has it really been that long? Where is everyone? Are they okay?" It was like a flood gate was open and all the questions started pouring out of Maka's mouth.

Jack chuckled and sat at the foot of her bed, "Everyone is fine, some scratches but that's all, you were the only that was unconscious, well Pitch too but we were fighting him"

The Miester nodded and sunk back against her pillow. She closed her eyes and sighed in relief, she was glad nothing had happened to anyone.

"Are you okay Maka?" Jack whispered as he let his cold hand fall on Maka's warm one. She smiled at him and nodded.

"Just some scratches" she muttered softly. She could feel her heart pounding gently as the coolers of his hand spread from her hand to her arm and so on.

Jack smiled, "I'm glad you're feeling well" he scooted closer to her not letting go of her hand. "You know I was getting worried when you wouldn't wake up, I thought something happened to you"

A small blush appeared on Maka's cheek. "I've been told I'm too stubborn to die, even after I died, I'm a spirit aren't I?" Maka giggled.

The two spirits kept leaning closer and closer to each other. "I see" Jack muttered softly. Both their eyelids began to close as their lips began to draw closer.

The door flew opened with everyone shoving their way into the infirmary. "What do you think you're doing with my baby girl!" Spirit shouted as he rushed to Maka's bed side, his momma bear personality began to show. Both the spirits pulled away from each other, faces red as a tomato, which earned some giggles from the Thompson sisters and Tooth.

Soul threw a small glare at the ice spirit as he approached Maka's bedside as well. Bunny, North and Sandy all elbowed Jack as they winked at him. Blackstar, Kid and Tsubaki were all surprised at the sudden actions of the Miester and snow spirit, they seemed close but they didn't think that close.

After a few minutes of talking and prying Spirit off of Maka, the crowd started to leave and head out to help out with the school damages, of course Kid was completely devastated with the lack of symmetry and order, he was the first one out there assisting with the repairs the second they finished checking up on Maka after the battle.

The Guardians and Lord Death all remained in the infirmary. The room was suddenly filled with silence as they remembered that Pitch was sleeping in the bed next to Maka, a shabby hospital curtain being the only thing separating them.

"Please make sure to keep an eye on that Pitch, he damaged my school greatly!" Lord Death bounced slightly as he approached his sleeping form. Everyone nodded in agreement. They had meetings just to avoid this very situation but it happened. They would have to tighten their security and work even harder to keep Pitch at bay.

A small groan escaped Pitch's dark lips. His eyes begin to flutter. "Where am I?" he began to sit up carefully as pain shot throughout his body, Asura's madness and the battle had taken a lot out of him. His eyes widen as he came face to face with Lord Death's slightly cracked mask. He let out a loud gasp.

"Death!" he managed to sputter out. He looked around and saw the Guardians next to him. "What the devil is going on!?" Pitch was flabbergasted, one moment he was in his private library in his lair and the next he was lying in a bed all the Guardians, including Death himself were present. He looked around and saw a white glove rushing at him.

"Reaper Chop! That's for messing up my school and putting my students in danger! What were you thinking, you know how dangerous Asura was yet you still went on and searched for his power what is wrong with you!" Lord Death scolded. The other Guardians stood in defensive stances, ready to attack if Pitch were to make a move. But he just laid there, rubbing the pain out of his head. He stayed quiet, grumbling to himself as he looked over to the Guardians, he didn't want to admit to his own mistakes, especially not to his enemies.

"W-well I'll be searching how to become powerful on my own! This won't b the last time Guardians!" he jumped out of bed and stared everyone, he had noticed Mama and Soul were also there, in his fit of madness he didn't really acknowledge the new Guardians. He grumbled before disappearing under the bed, they didn't call him the boogey man for nothing.

The Guardians all relax when he is gone. "When will that Pitch ever learn" Tooth shook her head gently. Her fairies suddenly began to approach her. She gave an apologetic smile at everyone before excusing herself to tend to her usual duties, the past days have been a little busy for her and the Guardians and she didn't have much time to tend to her tooth fairy duties. In an instant she began giving addresses to her fairies who just nodded and flew out the window at the speed of light.

"Seems like everything going back to how they should be" Bunny chimed, he was ready to go back to Easter island and take a long nap. He grinned at Maka and Soul before playfully slapping Jack on the shoulder. "Try not to make too much trouble for Maka now mate" he snickered. Before Jack could say anything else Bunny said goodbye to everyone else and hopped into his tunnels leaving a flower growing in the infirmary.

Jack grumbled to himself, a small blush painting his cheeks. He looked over Sandman who was grinning mischievously, above his head he formed multiple small hearts with his golden dream sand. He chuckled silently before waving everyone goodbye and flying out the window in a small plane made of his dream sand. Now that everything was back to normal, he would return to his usual duties of dream making.

North smiled at the three guardians, "Are you planning to come to the North Pole?" He had plenty of room to spare, Jack was already staying with him so thought it would be great if Soul and Maka were to join the snow spirit as they say, the more the merrier. At this Soul and Maka looked at each other. It was great seeing their friends again, but they knew they couldn't come back as they were before, they had previously agreed on exploring this whole Spirit thing, what better way than to do so by living at the North Pole.

Soul smiled gently and took Maka's hand in his own, squeezing it gently. At this the miester smiled, she could feel the support her weapon was giving her, and she of course would do the same for him, they were in this together. "Ok! It'd be an honor North! Thank you!" Maka beamed happily. Jack and Soul smiled at her, happy to see her so happy after the whole battle.

"After Maka finishes recovering we head back to the North Pole!" Norton's voice boomed loudly and he let out a big hearty laugh.

"That settles it then!" Maka sits up in bed and looks out the window. The snowy clouds were gone and the sun was shining radiantly as it always does in Death City, and once again the world was saved from madness and fear.
