When the cast of Soul Eater try out the Sachiko Ever After charm not everything is just fun and games anymore.
Next chapter will be posted a week from now and the rest will vary based upon my motivation which directly changes with any support this receives.
"Finally we're done, cleaning is so not cool" Soul sighed sitting down in a chair from the "huge" effort. The spatoi team had been told to clean up Stein's entire classroom after a few bloody dissections and weeks without a proper cleaning. Although to call them efficient would be more than generous. Patty and BlackStar had just been doing more harm than good coloring on things and breaking stuff, Tsubaki was busy keeping both of them out of trouble, Kim found a loophole to not have to put in much effort, Soul was barely trying because of how uncool it was, Liz stopped midway through for a "short" break, Crona didn't know how to deal with this, and Kid kept getting carried away trying to make the classroom symmetrical. So basically the work had been split between Maka, Ox, Harvar, Kilik, and Jacqueline. What should have taken less than half an hour became a two hour ordeal, it was a miracle that everyone even stayed. A miracle obtained through varying intensities of Maka chops and Tsubaki's supervision.
"Finally done? You barely even did anything!" Maka rolled her eyes at her weapon.
"Maka, Soul are you guys in here?" A purple cat poked her head into the room, "Oh there you are, why aren't you guys home yet?" She inquired with a little tilt of her head.
"We had to clean the place up" Maka told Blair as she padded into the room.
"Well I'm boooooorred, you should all play with me!" Blair whined to the large group of students.
"Why not stay for a little while" Liz agreed with no other plans to do anything.
"I wanna play games!" Patty cheered.
"This'll be a complete failure without me!" BlackStar announced with a grin.
"I would stay but I have to go take care of some things" Kilik said walking away probably to return home to his weapons.
"You're no fun!" Kim called behind him and then turned back to the others with a glint of excitement in her eyes "There's this charm I've been wanting to do…"
"A charm?" Kid asked with interest.
"Yes, it's called the Sachiko Ever After charm." Kim explained, "If done right everyone who participates is supposed to always be friends."
"Someone feeling a bit sentimental?" Harvar asked, as it wasn't exactly in her character to suggest things like this.
"Oh shut up!" Kim snapped a little peeved. All heads turned though as the door creaked open to reveal a ragged looking scientist.
"Shouldn't you all be heading home?" Stein asked quirking an eyebrow confused as to why they were still here after such a simple task. Spirit followed him into the classroom and instantly began gawking at Maka. Maka however just looked away with a huff ignoring her father and crossing her arms.
"They wanted to perform a charm" Kid reported to the doctor. Stein eyed the students suspiciously.
"It's just meant to make everyone stay friends forever" Liz commented absentmindedly and drew her eyes away from her perfected nails to Stein, "It's not like we're doing anything shady."
"I will be participating!" Spirit announced loudly with an authoritative voice. His strong composure melted away quickly though as he happily muttered mostly to himself, "then I'll be with my precious Maka forever!"
"I'm glad you'll be joining us Mr. Death Scythe!" Blair meowed as she flung herself at Spirit transforming into her human form, and of course was only clad in some skimpy outfit. Spirit was knocked to the ground under the weight of Blair. Stein only glanced down radiating with annoyance towards his weapon.
"Might as well join you kids" Stein said with a tired sigh dismissing the scene.
"Okay, everyone gather around." Kim ordered while pulling out a large paper doll from her bag. "Everyone will need to repeat the phrase "Sachiko we beg of you"..." Her words trailed off and her eyes darted from person to person as she counted.
"Sixteen" Maka, Kid, and Ox supplied in unison noticing that she was counting.
"Yes, everyone repeat that sixteen times. Don't repeat it out loud just repeat in in your head. And nobody mess up!" Kim's annoyance at the nerds of the class was obvious but it quickly faded. Was everyone trying to get on her nerves today?
Some still had some skeptical looks but through the glorious negotiation tactic known as peer pressure pretty soon everyone had agreed to do the charm.
"Now everyone grab a hold of the paper where ever you can. Don't let go, after we've all repeated the phrase sixteen times we'll all pull until we each have a piece." Kim instructed everyone. Everyone furrowed their brows as they tried to repeat it sixteen times but keeping count wasn't exactly the easiest task. Soon everyone looked up though having had counted 16, or at least what they thought was 16, and a message seemed to pass between every one's eyes. They were ready. All together everyone pulled.
The doll came apart into sixteen uneven pieces as they all pulled making it tear unnaturally loudly. An ominous feeling settled into the air and everyone spent a moment in silence. Kid opened his mouth about to say something when he was cut off by a horrifically loud noise. Terror jolted through everyone and was evident in their eyes. They were all gripped by a huge shaking of what had to be an earthquake. The floorboards were soon creaking under all the stress and glass rained down from the newly organized shelves. Everyone stumbled to the floor as shards scattered everywhere and some boards even snapped. Splintered wood flung and the shaking was becoming so disorienting when finally the floor itself fell away. Choked screams resounded by some as they were sucked into infinite darkness as other made a desperate claw at the remaining floor only to have that fall on top of them and hurry their fall.
Oh what a grave mistake they've made.
