Chapter 1
As Soul took his seat next to his meister Maka class had already begun. Maka shook her head because Soul decided to come to class late...again. Maka was the type of girl that would be called a goody two shoes, and Soul...well he was one of those guys that always seemed to be acting cool. Soul flashed a big grin back to his meister acting as if he had just done something good.
"Glad you could join us Mr. Evans" said Dr. Stein as he rolled his way to the center of the class. He turned the giant screw in his head a couple of times then glared at the class. Pulling the unlit cigarette out of his mouth, holding it in his left hand, "Today class I'm going to split you all into different groups, and give you all missions.". A raised hand caught his eye, not suprising him it was Maka. "Yes Maka?" asked Stein as he played with the cigarette in his hand, not being able to light it because he already got scolded from Spirit about smoking in the classroom.
Black Star, and Kid looked to their fellow meister wondering what she was going to ask. Maka lowered her hand and asked, "So how are we going to be graded this time?". For almost all projects, dissections, assignments she would ask a question concerning it.
Dr. Stein had rolled away from the center moving back, toward his desk. He pulled out a sheet of paper that seemed to have some writing on it. "Well lets just say if you don't defeat you're enemy...then you'll fail my class." replyed Stein with a harsh tone. The classes eyes widened, they didn't want to fail his class. After shocking them he decided to announce the teams that would be. "Okay Maka, you and Soul are going to be working with Black Star and Kid...You know the usual." said Stein. He would always pair them up, since they were all failing, and needed extra help.
Maka nodded and looked toward the two, they nodded back because they considered her the leader of the team. Stein handed them and the other teams their mission. "Okay now i'll excuse you all today to get started and prepared for the missions. They aren't that easy, and if reckless you could die...and if you do then F." stated Stein as if what he was saying was just a joke. "All of you're enemies have consumed enough Souls to almost become very powerful kishins. In order to pass...you need to beat them, work together okay...class dismissed."
Maka took a look at her copy of the enemy that she Black Star and Kid were gonna fight noticing that this assignment was pretty high ranked. "It's probably high because of Kid..."thought Maka remembering how Kid got to do a mission in the pyramid of Anubis. They all left unaware of what was to come with this battle but, they didn't really care about preparing...except Maka. As they walked down the stairs of the DWMA Soul and Black Star began to pump themselves up.
"COME ON GUYS! LETS GO FIGHT THIS LOSER" shouted Black Star as he raised a fist to the sky, "Since i'm such a big man, this guy will be begging for me to kill it.". He led the way with Tsubaki following him. She let out a sigh but still cheered for Black Star, which pumped him up even more.
"Hey guys you sure you don't wanna grab some stuff for the trip?" asked Maka as she noticed that the location of where the enemy was, wasn't really near any town. Although you'd probabaly have to walk a couple of miles just to get to the nearest civilization.
Soul turned back toward his meister and replyed, "don't worry, we'll be fine. We don't need to prepare.". Kid also looked back at Maka and agreed with Soul. Maka felt a little worried about this high ranked mission, but since Kid didn't really show any signs of that emotion she worried less.
After a couple hours of traveling...
The group finally found their way to the area where their mission would take place, the sun was already going down. This was when the group decided to keep their guard up, luckily the grass was tall enough so that they could hide in cause one of them got injured. They heared some wierd chanting, and to their surprise they didn't see the enemy they were looking for...but a witch. They all ducked into the tall grass, and watched what the witch was doing.
"What the hell is a witch doing here?" asked Maka as she crouched lower into the grass. She took one more look at the paper that had their target on, then back to the witch.
"I don't know Maka, but if were going to have to fight her and this guy then were going to have to keep our eye on her the most." whispeared Kid, making sure that his voice was soft enough so that the witch couldn't hear. Just when they thought that the witch was the target they saw the guy they needed to defeat in order to pass.
"Are they working together, is this why the mission was ranked real high?" asked Soul as he saw the witch hand the guy a human Soul, and ate it.
Black Star smirked at the three as they asked questions. "Well I don't give a care, because Black Star is going to kick both their asses.". But before Black Star could jump out and reveal that they were hiding in the tall grass the witch had laughed.
"Come out little children...Soul, Maka, Kid, Black Star." said the witch as she pointed to the area where the group was hiding. "We can't forget about you three. Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki. Looks like we're having some more souls to devour...but these children aren't like the others.", the witch had midnight blue hair, and had silver colored eyes.
"How different Tsune?" asked the guy they targetted. His teeth were sharp like Soul's, his left arm had no hand but was a nub with sharp objects sticking out of them. His face was unrecognizable, and demorfed...damn his whole body was.
Tsune pressed her finger up to those sharp teeth's of his, "Shhh Berserker...just get ready.". The name matched the name of the enemy they had to fight, so this definatly was the guy.
Black Star jumped out first shouting Yahoo. "See even this witch is a big fan of mine to know my name." He pointed to himself, and grinned at her. "Tsubaki...lets go!. Sorry witch, we'll be taking you're soul...and his.". Black Star held his hands out waiting for Tsubaki to fall into his hands, of course in her weapon form.
"Okay!" replyed Tsubaki. She glanced at Kid and Maka before she transformed into her weapon form. A chain scythe landed into Black Star's hands. He held on to her tight and smirked. "Keep you're guard up" said Tsubaki.
Secondly Kid jumped out with Liz and Patty already in their weapon forms. He held the two twin pistols in his hands and pointed Liz toward Tsune, and Patty toward Berserker. "Damn Black Star, you Loud mouth." whispeared Kid as he eyed out Black Star. He then took a look at Berserker and gagged, "Ugh, You filthy piece of asymmetrical garbage...almost made me loose my lunch.".
Finally Maka walked out calmly from the tall grass, with Soul following her. The witch's attention landed on Maka and a smile lit on her face. As Maka held her arm back toward Soul there was a flash of lights, and there was no longer Soul...but a Black and Red scythe. "Like Black Star said...we'll be taking you're Soul's now!..." said Maka as she swung the scythe around as if it weighed as light as a feather. When she finally struck a pose the remaining light of the setting sun reflected off of all the weapons, causing a glare.
Tsune quickly closed her eyes, then held her hand infront of her eyes blocking the reflecting sunlight. With her other hand she snapped her fingers together, which caused Berserker to go into attack mode, claws stabbed through that nub of his while the sharp objects grew longer and his body grew a bit bigger. Tsune smiled and simply said, "You wish..." and the battle had begun.
Berseker began to charge straight toward them. First to react was Black Star as her ran head on toward Bersker. Right before Berseker could ram into Black Star, Black Star jumped up and used the chain part of his weapon to choke him. But underestimating Berseker's strength, Black Star ended up getting dragged by him. "Quick Tsubaki...Ninja sword mode!" shouted Black Star as he slowly took damage. Quickly Tsubaki changed form and transformed into a ninja sword landing back in Black Star's hands since he was no longer being dragged.
Maka quickly dodged the charging creature, and ran straight for Tsune. Kid Began to shoot Berserker hoping it would cause major damage to it, but it only slowed him down. Right before Kid could jump out of the way, Berserker collapsed Right in front of him. Kid then noticed that there was a giant gash on one of his legs. "Don't take you're damn attention off of me. I'm Black Star the greatest assassin EVER!" shouted Black Star as he made his way to Kid.
Out of the corner of Kid's eye he saw Berserker's nub with the claws sticking out twitch. Kid quickly jumped away, dodging the creature's swinging arm. Before landing Kid took aim and shot Berserker right in his demorfed eye, causing him to shout.
"AAAHHH! YOU GOD DAMN BRAT!, YOU BLINDED ME!" howled Berserker in pain. Kid and Black Star surrounded him, smirking at each other then to their fallen enemy.
Maka began swinging Soul around, hoping that she would finally land a hit on Tsune. Most of Maka's attacks didn't hit because Tsune was quick. "You should be more careful before you cut you're own head off." said Tsune as she dodged another attack of Maka's. Maka was covered in scratches, while Tsune only had a small one on her face.
Maka grip tightened and she shouted, "Shut the hell up!". Soul's reflection appeared on the blade of the scythe. He became worried of his meister's being.
"Hey Maka are you alright?" asked Soul as he noticed how Maka was heavily panting, and that she was now bleeding. Maka nodded and smiled at the reflection. Soul smirked back, "well then, lets beat the shit out of this witch."
"You're boring me, oh and look you're friends are still dealing with Berserker. I think i'll have a little fun with them instead of you, you're to lame to fight." said Tsune as she yawned. She soon closed her eyes, and began to chant. She raised an arm toward Kid and Black Star who were now trying to cut of Berserker's arms since they both got stabbed by it and were bleeding. Maka's eyes grew wide as she saw a bright light appear in Tsune's hand.
"You better do something Maka!" shouted Soul as Tsune's magic energy ball got bigger, and her chanting got louder. Maka had to think things through, she knew if she went anywhere closer to Tsune then she would get hurt from the ball of magic energy. But if she didn't then Kid and Black Star would be tooken out. "You gonna do something Maka?" asked Soul.
Maka began to run infront of Kid and Black Star, but slightly getting closer to Tsune. "Yeah I'm gonna do something!" shouted Maka as she flung the scythe straight toward Tsune, thinking it would stop her energy ball, or stab Tsune right in the chest...but she was wrong. Right before Soul hit Tsune, Tsune stopped chanting opened her eyes and smirked. Flying the magic energy straight toward Maka, Kid, and Black Star. She vanished as Soul passed through her and hit the tree that was behind Tsune.
Maka's eyes grew wide as she realized that her plan failed. But Maka was going to protect her friends, she stood infront of them with her arms open and her eyes closed. As Kid and Black Star finally managed to chop off the limbs of Berserker, they turned and noticed that a big ball of light was about to hit Maka. They forgot about Berserker and began running toward Maka. Even if they both could run super fast, it seemed that they were running in slow motion and the closer to Maka they got the father she would get.
Soul transformed Back into his human form and noticed that Maka was about to get hit. His eyes widened and his legs were also put into motion. Just before the ball of magic hit Maka, Soul screamed "MAKA!". And as Maka opened her eyes, Soul had barely made it infront of her before everything went dark.
A giant explosion appeared, enveloping Soul and Maka. Clouds of unusual colors of black and blue appeared. Black Star and Kid shielded their eyes from the bright light. Berserker began to laugh like a madman. "AAAHHHHAAA WE WIN! WE WI-" shouted Berserker as he was cut of by sword stabbing him right in the neck. Berserker's body vanished and all there was left was his evil Soul.
Finally the light faded, and the smoke cleared up. As Tsubaki, Liz, and Patty transformed back into their human forms, they saw to motionless bodies on the floor. Their eyes widened and they stared in shock. Kid and Black Star ran toward the two bodies and cradled them in their arms. "SOUL! BUDDY ANSWER ME! LOOK AT MY SHINING FACE!" shouted Black Star as he shook Soul hoping it would make him open his eyes. Black Star's clothing was getting stained by blood...Soul's blood.
Kid gently lifted Maka into his arms. Carrying her cold body up, he didn't care about the symmetry of the situation, he only cared for the well being of his friends that just sacrificed themselves for the safety of him and Black Star. "M-maka?...please open you're eyes." said Kid as her blood stained the white rectangles of his suit. He turned to see Black Star shaking his head. "We need to leave...NOW!" said Kid as a tear fell from his eyes and landed onto Maka's blood stained cheek.
