Many years ago just after the sealing of Asura and his madness wave. (During the war with the witches)The Misty Mountains
During the great battle that would eventually lead to the witches surrender one last trump card was played as the witches knew that lord death was powerful but they also knew threw divination spells that he was nowhere near as powerful as he used to be as he had lost a lot of his strength in sealing away the kishin and since the birth of his son his powers and life force had been draining away and passed. With all this information the witches knew that they could use there trump card without much worry as even if they lost it would be years before that accursed shinigami would be able to get his weapon and meister forces back to full strength. Lord Death survived the battle field and was a little surprised when he noticed that the witch forces had started pulling back Stein had even pointed out that the witches had pulled back the warrior known as the immortal werewolf a formidable ice magic user witch could only mean one of two things first the witches felt that this was a war that they could no longer win and where pulling out and planning to surrender or the witches had one last card to play and he was pretty sure that the witches weren't planning on giving up anytime soon and that massive witch's soul that he saw heading towards the battlefield told him anything it was that things were about to get really messy very soon. As Death handed Spirit over to Stein, he several of the miesters that were with him drag forward a large black box and the sent them to tell their fellow miesters to call a full retreat only he, his mietsers and their death scythes would stay and finish this battle. As the massive witch's soul drew nearer Death knew exactly who the witches had sent to win this war for them. (So they knew about how weak I've become this can't be good and I can't let my soldiers know how much of my strength I've lost and have yet to regain so it's a good thing I brought along the original scythe of the reapers or I might not have been strong enough for this battle) "All miesters spread out and form a circle around this witch we are going to surround her and then all attack at once. This is the witch Ouroborus, she is the most dangerous witch known to date, even more dangerous than the gorgon sisters and a lot more powerful, be ready and be careful". While Death was getting his miesters and death scythes ready for battle Ouroborus landed onto the battlefield and quickly began outright slaughtering the weapons and miesters while they were pulling out. The witch was not only extraordinarily powerful but also had the skill to wield her power as if she were a god and even with the thousands of miesters that she was fighting they weren't even enough of a challenge for her to use her magic.
"So you're the wimps my fellow sisters in magic where having so much trouble with? That's just sad, just goes to show how weak magic users have become lately to lose to these idiots." While busy insulting the people she was fighting Ouroborus' thoughts where somewhere else entirely. (Soon I'll finish this job, get the witches off of my back once and for all and I can finally get to stay out of all this madness. Wait I'm forgetting something where is the one called Death and his death scythes) Ouroborus was busy contemplating her thoughts when all of a sudden she was knocked out of them quite literally. "REAPER CHOP!" As the sudden attacker smashed her back with a powerful blow from his hand she was sent flying and as her attack, most likely done by the reaper. As Ouroborus was flying backwards from the attack she noticed that that some powerful souls were surrounding her and attack just as she managed to stabilize herself but to her attackers surprise she was not only able to defend against their attacks but she was also able to retaliate.
This was the types of fights Ouroborus loved. Fighting powerful opponents, putting your life on the line, giving your all in battle, Ouroborus didn't know she always enjoyed battle but it always made her feel alive and she loved showing off her powers but she hated it when the other witches dragged her into their messes especially since she had a young daughter to look after but she had been promised by the grand elder that she and her family would be left alone by all affiliated witches. She quickly retaliated with a powerful area attack to give her-self some breathing room and then went all out. "Infinite stream, oh come on you have got to be able to hit me with better than that or you won't stand, now show me what you can do to entertain me, take this dark nebula". Suddenly hundreds of orbs of highly condensed magic shot outwards, while it seemed that the death scythes and Death had evaded the initial barrage it looked as if Ouroborus could still manipulate the attack even after launching it as the orbs seemed to target them and wouldn't stop until it had hit a target. To make things even more difficult she kept attacking them in close quarters combat and her own orbs seemed to work to avoid her making defending and dodging very difficult.
The battle between the Death and his death scythes against Ouroborus went on for hours and soon only Death and Ouroborus were left standing and while they barely looked winded a few of Deaths miesters where already dead while the rest were either unconscious or unable to move and it looked as if a few wouldn't be able to even fight again even if their wounds healed fully. "Stand down Ouroborus, this won't end well for you." Death tried to get the witch he was battling to stand down but from the look in her eyes he knew that this fight would only be won with one of them lying dead on the battle field. "You don't scare me Lord Death, to be honest it looks as if you're getting ready for Halloween so let's end this. As the battle between death and Ouroborus began anew Stein took in his surroundings as he finally regained consciousness. What he saw frightened him, dead friends everywhere, the utter destruction of the landscape around them, the battle currently going on between the witch and Lord Death but what truly shocked him was when he saw Spirit cradling his dead ex in his arms. Stein knew that even if they won this war the witches had also won. It would be years before the academy could replenish their numbers with new properly trained miesters and weapons and in the mean time they would have no way of going after the witches' safely. As Stein thought about the far reaching results of this war Spirit came to mind. (How is Spirit going to explain this to Maka, her mother was her idol and ever since the divorce their relationship hasn't been doing very well and he knew that this could end up making things even worse for his friend) Stein was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts by a massive shockwave and he is brought back to the reality of the battle. Neither side looked uninjured an-it looked as if both fighters were starting to run out of juice. However at the same time both fighters suddenly launched at each other full speed unleashing massive attacks at one another but it looked as if Deaths attack would hit first and end the witch when all of a sudden a young girl appeared out of nowhere taking the hit for Ouroborus. The sheer terror and shock on her face surprised Death as he watched this woman run towards the dying girl. Suddenly a massive surge of power came from the witch and she unleashed a massive beam of magical energy at death nearly killing him but utterly destroying the reapers scythe before quickly running off of the battlefield but not before swearing to Death that she would have her revenge against him and that she would she would.
Death looked across the battle field but he felt no sense of happiness from victory as he looked at all his dead comrades and friends. "Fall back that is an order and bring back as many dead as you can, this war is over" While Death was working on co-ordinating what was left of his forces Stein noticed the witch Ouroborus picking up the young girl and the pieces left of the reapers scythe. He knew that he should try to stop her as even in its broken state it could still be used as a medium to make new powerful magical tools but no one was in any condition to try and stop her and even though he knew that they had won the war against the witches, the means to gain that victory would haunt them in the future. Non-of the Gorgon sisters were present during this battle, however this could be attributed to their backing of Asura and it looked as if DWMA had made an enemy of one of the most powerful witches ever born.
Ouroborus watched as Death and what was left of his army left. She felt a terrible rage grow inside of her. Her daughter was dead and the only reason she had taken part in this battle was so that she and her daughter would finally be left alone, no more being bother by that hag of an elder to join the witch's order but now it was pointless. Ouroborus knew then and there that she wanted to get revenge but she also knew she would have to be patient and wait for Death to drop his guard. Ouroborus looked at the shattered remains of the reaper scythe that she had collected and smiled. "It may not be any time soon but I assure you death that I will hurt you as you have hurt me today and no matter how long it take my daughter will be avenged". As Death took one last look at the battle field and watched Ouroborus leave he could have sworn he felt a shiver run down his spine and he knew that things were far from finished and that one day in the future his past sins would come back to haunt him.
DWMA Death's office 3 month after the defeat of Asura and Arachnophobia {after the end of the anime}
Kid looked at his father a bit shocked but not entirely surprised. "Father are you sure I'm ready for a mission like that, I mean I know that I've really grown in power but are you sure I'm ready to go on a mission without Liv or Paddie?" As Kid questioned his father he notice an expression of annoyance begin to form on his father's face and wisely shut up lest he get a reaper chop like Spirit usually did. "Now Kid I'm sure you're ready for this. I've been training you on how to use your growing reaper powers and I need to see how they are developing in a real combat situation so I need for you to test them out so I'll be sending you out on an errand to take care of a few kishin eggs near the Misty Mountains and don't dilly dally or I'll give you a reaper once a day for a month. Kid suddenly had a very grim look on his face as he imagined getting hit by his father's silly but powerful attack once every day for a whole month. Kid rushed out of his father's office on his skateboard and rushed off towards the Misty Mountains so as to finish the mission his father had assigned him as quickly as possible.
Few hours later
"Soon….this…nightmare…..training father is putting me through will be over and I can relax with my friends". Unfortunately kid was not able to sense the pair of eyes that were watching him as he finished climbing the mountain to reach his destination and another problem that Kid would soon encounter was that the mission that his father had received and given to him was a fake and was actually an elaborate trap. "Haaaaaaaa!" All of a sudden a magical circle engulfed Kid as he saw a witch suddenly appear out of nowhere. "So it seems my trap has caught a little reaper brat". Kid didn't know who this woman was but he knew that she was dangerous as he couldn't even feel let alone access his reaper powers. He knew that he needed to play along until he could find a way to break free and escape of at least call in back up.(This witch doesn't seem to be paying much attention to me. If I play this right I can escape and warn father of this witch.) "Oh how sweet, you're already planning of ways to escape me. Unfortunately for you that isn't possible especially with what I've got instore for you and your dear old daddy. He once took something very dear to me and now I plan to return the favour with interest, so don't worry child I won't kill you. No I've got something much better in mind." Kid was really worried now. He knew that his father had made his fair share of enemies in his lifetime and there was really no way that this could end well for him. His only hope was if his friends could find a way to save him but that wasn't very likely at the moment.
Soon the magic circle that had engulfed kid began to shrink and Kid could feel his mind slipping and his power being sealed away. "Normally what I planned to do would've had no chance of working but thanks to the fragments of the reaper's scythe that I have this will be easy and relatively quick. No one will know what happened to you, only that you have disappeared. Soon Death the Kid the well know symmetry obsessed miester will be no more and my second chance and future revenge will begin. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Soon the magic circle faded away and Ourobrus smiled at her work. Death the Kid was no longer held in the circle all that was left was a young crying baby girl. Ouroborus gently picked up the child and carefully rocked her until she calmed down and fell asleep. "Hush, hush sweet thing soon you'll be home and we can start a new life together. Welcome to the world my sweet Tiamat." As this was happening Death almost instantly knew something was wrong as he felt a large amount of his strength return to him all of a sudden and his connection too Kid weaken. "Stein, Spirit! I need you to go to the Misty Mountain immediately and check on Kid I fear something may have happened." Stein and spirit ran as fast as they could sensing the fear in the headmaster's voice (Please be alright kid. After everything that has happened please just be safe)
First of all yes in this story maka's mother will be considered dead. It is a theory that ive had for a while. Based on what ive seen in the anime we never see makas mother even maka hasn't seen her in a really long time all she gets from her mom are post cards her father delivers to her and that's it. So in my opinion Spirit is the one actually writing the letters to his daughter as he loves her too much to let her think her mother doesn't love her but can't bring himself to tell her that her mom is dead. Also the reason death feel stronger the moment Ouoborus seals kids reaper powers away is that Kid is next in line to succed his father and throughout the anime it is shown that as kid gets stronger his father gets weaker heck in that final fight against Asura when kid uses his reaper powers to blast Asura you are shown his father's cracking mask. Also I still deciding on wether or not that in my fanfic medusa desided to stay hidden as a nurse or still help Asura escape.
