Hey peoples. I shall be known as Kikue or Squeak (this is my new account for those who know "Squeak"). I based the chapter names on how the SE anime wrote them, so that is why they're so long.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Soul Eater. I only own Dalia and Deion.
Chapter One: A New Soul Perception Ability... A Possible New Threat to Shibusen?
"Hey Soul, I found out some pretty cool information! I read that there's a possibility of other souls existing in other universes. Like there are types of worlds we don't even know about!"
Soul smirked as if he was laughing. "Do you really think that there are other worlds out there, Maka? What a dweeb…"
Black Star laughed loudly. "Then I'll just have to be even BIGGER! Not like it's possible, of course." That was the same old Black Star, cocky and filled with pride. His arms crossed behind his head. "I'm the Great Black Star and no one surpasses me!"
"Just try to keep your power in check, okay Black Star?" Tsubaki asked quietly; she sighed as he obviously ignored her.
Just then, the clouds opened and a beam of what seemed like black light sped through the air, followed by lightning, thunder and a loud crash. It made the entire Shibusen student body pause, as the crash created a minor earthquake throughout Death City. No one knew what was going on, not even Lord Death himself.
Maka's soul perception ability clicked; she felt something—or someone—close by that she had never seen before. One, two, three souls… Maybe… Four? Is this some sort of portal like that book said? "Soul! C'mon!" She took him by the hand and rushed off in the blast's direction.
She was so enrapt with the idea of that there could be the small possibility that these souls are from another kind of world. The two stopped when they saw the destruction. "Damn… What happened here?" Soul asked, looking around at the debris: buildings ready to cave in, streets torn to pieces, carts and windows smashed into numerous pieces. He stepped cautiously to one side, almost falling into a hole beneath the stones of the tattered street.
Before they could look too far into details of the mess, someone was slammed through one of the half-collapsed buildings without causing damage to it. A girl with a beautiful silhouette and structure landed firmly on the boy's shoulders like a gymnast; she didn't even care about the wall a broke through it. With the same idea as Maka, Soul transforms into a Death Scythe.
"Hey!" Maka called out. "You can't just destroy Death City like this. Who do you think you are?"
"Your worst nightmare if you don't walk away now, pipsqueak. I'm in the middle of an assignment." The girl had one foot pressed against the boy's neck, and the look on her face was just startling: it was filled with a maniacal sense of humor and fulfillment.
Soul… her wavelength is a lot like that Giriko guy.
Yeah. It's creepy… But she seems crazy, too… It's like she doesn't even think!
"Why don't you run along now, simple thing?" she asked sweetly. "I'm absolutely positive you have nothing to worry about."
"Haile (Like Haley)! Let him be. He is still a child after all. He can live for a little while longer. That way his suffering will be more lasting. Don't give him the satisfaction of dying easily," a woman's voice said. It was a rather seductive voice, like how Arachne's used to be, and her attitude showed no regret.
The younger female let off and jumped off of the stones near the boy's head. "Can't I play for a bit? These children are being awfully annoying," she whined.
"Later." Then the two ladies left.
Maka wasn't sure what to think about the boy who was sitting up and coughing. She ran over as her curiosity peaked. "Hey, you okay? You're badly torn up." His breathing was strangled. He just stared, seeming unbothered by the irregularity and intensity. "Can you hear me?" He took a defensive stance. Maybe he's afraid? Maka thought.
She took a few steps toward him cautiously and was suddenly thrown back by an abrupt translucent wall.
"Maka! It came from down the alley!"
"Right!" She took a stance as she felt the soul of a Witch. It wasn't a Witch, but a girl with neon green and turquoise hair that was speeding in their direction on what looked like a snowboard. When she noticed the meister and weapon pairing, she jumped down and the board disintegrated. "Hiya! Sorry about the chaos… We'll fix it. Dee! Help me out?"
The boy nodded and a dimly lit circle glowed around him. The bright-haired girl created a magic ball, threw it up just above her head, and then kicked it high into the air. It blew up like a firework and, out of the blue, the area was "back to normal" astonishingly. The girl then tapped the wall and it shattered, disappearing in an instant.
Maka quickly noticed that the others had followed her and Soul.
"Are you okay?"
"Whoa! Y'all are quick youngsters ain'tcha?"
"She's goofy!" Patti said, laughing.
The new girl squealed loudly. "Oh my GOOOOOOOOD! Talking weapons!" She leapt over Maka to set in front of the Thompson Sisters. Then she blinked for a moment. "Deion, shut up!" she called over her shoulder. "Quit bein' such a fuddy-duddy." She flipped over Maka's head again to float above the ground.
"Damn! They must be allied with the Witches!" Kid said.
"Witches?" she asked, turning upside-down. "We don't know any witches besides the ones trying to kill us. I'm Dalia, by the way." Her lively pink-violet eyes danced. "I've never seen talking weapons before, though. Don't you think it's cool?" she asked over her shoulder again.
"What do you think Maka?" Kid asked, knowing that she could sense wavelengths.
"They don't have the witch wavelength, and they aren't using Soul Protect. It has a certain feel about it. But I don't know what they actually are." She stayed in her stance, ready to attack.
"Witches or not, you can't just steal my spotlight from me! Take this!" Black Star launched himself towards Dalia and thick chain-and-sword combo plotted him to the ground. "Hey! What the hell?"
"Deion! Let him go! He just has a major ego," Dalia said smiling ear to ear. She giggles and cuts the chain. "Sorry. The shy one back there is Deion. He's my 'partner in crime-fighting' so to speak. We are what are commonly known as Demons. I've never seen weapons with human capabilities like speech, so I'm guessing you're shifters. Human weapons, am I right?"
"How'd you know?" Liz and Soul seemed to say simultaneously.
