Chapter 1 White Court Transformation! The Ishida Twins Turn into Deathscythes?
"A sound soul is a sound mind and sound body!" –Maka Albarn
"I'll wait for you
To want the help I give to you
Follow with me
I'll show you what it's like to breathe…
I want to change, I want to change
Slowly turn around
All that remains, all just the same
Never losing ground
I watch you change, I watch you change
I can see you there now
So, I'll do this all for you
I'll show you how it feels There's nothing I won't do
To share this world with you"
-Soul Switch., "Change"
A few months ago, my brother, Ryonosuke, and I, Kyosuke, along with our cousins who took on our human parents' names instead of the Wraithe name been fighting a battle that was trying to consu,e Ryo for years. Madrigal and Madeline, twins like us, tried to get him into feeding on fear entirely but Thomas and Lara got in the way of keeping him from doing it entirely but it didn't stop there! He had to suffer the feed for fear and we decided to turn him into a Deathscythe along with the help of Miaka, Aria, Baki, Jiro, and Kana with us to getting to that goal. We also had the help of Thomas' half-brother, Harry Dresden, wizard warden under the White Council as our teacher at the Death Weapon Meister Academy. We thought we were safe but Madrigal came back with a vengeance and this time with black blood to help keep that feed for fear, it not only got into Ryo but it got into me! With Molly's help, we broke it off and were able to get their souls. Now that we got our 99 souls, our next trial won't be an easy one.
In a cabin-like house in the middle of the woods, a fight was going on inside. Kyosuke and Ryonosuke were fighting against the Magical sisters, Matilda and Gruntilda, for their souls. Kyosuke was dodging more magical bullets that were coming from a cauldron that Gruntilda was controlling. Kyosuke swung and managed to knock it over and the cauldron disappeared into the green gunk.
Kyosuke panted and his eyes were silver and smelled the lust coming off of both sisters and licked his lips.
"Aw, the White Court is hungry now? I think you should stop and eat my lust for keeping my soul in tact and spreading the madness all over the world!" Gruntilda exclaimed.
"Hey, aren't you forgetting about me you hag?" Matilda asked.
"Both of your lustious feelings smell tasty but all we want are your souls!" Kyosuke exclaimed.
"Oh really now, Matilda, why don't we blast these two out of here? They aren't fun as they were when they first came in." Gruntilda purred.
"My pleasure!" Matilda exclaimed as she set up her cauldron onto a catapult and poured in some liquids into it and it took on a red hue.
"Oh crap, that doesn't look good!" Kyosuke exclaimed.
"You think!" Ryonosuke exclaimed.
"Fire!" Matilda exclaimed and launched it.
"What are you waiting for bro, run stupid!" Ryonosuke yelled.
Kyosuke started running but the cauldron hit the floor at his feet and it blew up and he was launched through the ceiling with him and Ryonosuke screaming.
They landed on the roof with Ryonosuke lying in his axe form on the roof next to Kyosuke's body.
"Hey!" he yelled and changed back and shook his brother. "Snap out of it!"
"Standing on the rooftop ready to fall…" Kyosuke managed to say.
"Man, there's no time! If we fail, we lose the souls and have to gather them again! Do you want that?" Ryonosuke asked.
"You're right." Kyosuke said and snapped out of his trance.
They heard cackling and the Magical sisters appeared.
"Stars and stones, they found us!" Ryonosuke exclaimed.
"Give up? If you do, I think you two will make great dolls in my dollhouse!" Matilda exclaimed.
"I think not! Kyo, transform into your axe form and I will finish the job!" Ryonosuke exclaimed.
"Right!" Kyosuke exclaimed and changed into a knight templar's axe with a chain dangling from under the blade to the center of the handle. "Never thought wizards were a pain in the ass but witches are even worse! Especially when they pitch their cauldrons around like baseballs! Now prepare to lose your souls!"
He charged at them and started fighting them. After a moment of fighting and a soul resonance, both sisters were on the flat top of the roof with Gruntilda saying as her last words, "You won!"
They turned into witch soul eggs.
"We did it!" Kyosuke exclaimed.
They saw a sliver light form in the air and their companions and Harry and Thomas come out of it.
"Nice job you two! Now you get your prize!" Harry told them.
"Yep!" Kyosuke said.
They picked up the souls.
"This is it, we finally get to change." Kyosuke said.
"Into deathscythes." Ryonosuke said.
They ate them at the same time and they glowed and they transformed into their new form and had their blades go into their skin.
"That's going to hurt in the morning." Jiro joked.
They heard someone applauding and they saw a guy with a cloak on.
"What the hell?" Baki asked.
"Very well done, never thought the bastard children of House Wraithe would be the first to have deathscythe powers!"
"Vitorio Malvora, never thought we would see you in a place like this!" Thomas exclaimed.
Vitorio pulled the hood down and said, "Hello Cousin Thomas and the six cousins who took on Madrigal and Madeline and survived."
"More like two, Ryo and Kyo took them out, remember? Or did Aunt Sezerina dropped you a few times when you were a baby?" Miaka asked.
"How cute! You think you can get away with killing Madrigal and Madeline so easily? I think not!" Vitorio exclaimed and snapped his fingers.
Ghouls appeared out of nowhere and growled.
"Hell's bells, are you trying to kill them along with us?" Harry asked.
"No, to catch you, I think my aunt, Lady Malvora, along with Lord Scavis would like you captured alive!" Vitorio exclaimed. "Get them and make sure they're alive!"
The ghouls growled in affirmation and they went after them.
"Take arms!" Harry exclaimed as Thomas changed into his revolver form.
"Ryo?" Kyosuke asked.
"Let me get a chance bro!" Ryonosuke said.
"You got it!" Kyosuke exclaimed and changed into an axe with a bigger blade, a band of spikes that wrapped around the handle under the blade and a longer one at top. Two chains wrapped around the handle from the bottom of the top spike. "Not bad! I wonder how my form would look?"
"Jiro?" Kana asked.
"You got it!" he exclaimed and changed into his katana form.
"Girls?" Baki asked.
The both of them grabbed his wrists and changed into the clawed gauntlets.
"Okay Jack, it's time!" Molly exclaimed.
"Right!" he exclaimed and changed into his crossbow form.
"Charge!" Vitorio yelled.
Class Blood Fang charged back at them with full force and started attacking the ghouls on top of the cabin underneath the laughing moon.
The next morning in Death City, Nevada, the sun laughed and shined over the Death Weapon Meister Academy, also known as the DWMA, where students study and train as meisters and weapon pairs in order to become Deathscythes themselves, but first they have to eat 99 Kishin souls and one witch's soul to complete the transformation.
Maka Albarn, her weapon partner, Soul Eater Evans, and Chrona, along with his weapon partner, Ragnarok, were heading for class. As they walked, they saw Tsubaki standing right at the pole where Black Star was doing his usual rants.
"Hi there Maka, Soul, Chrona, I hope you all slept well." Tsubaki said with a smile.
"Of course, until yet again, I found Blair in Soul's bed naked!" Maka said.
"Hey, it's better than hearing how that damn White Court is so sexy when she sleeps in his bed over at that subbasement apartment on campus!" Soul Exclaimed.
"Wait, Blood Fang didn't come back?" Tsubaki asked.
"Nope, they've been gone for a while since Ryo and Kyo ate Madrigal's and Madeline's souls back in Chicago." Chrona asked.
That's right, they've been collecting souls in order to become Deathscythes, I hope they got them all right. Maka thought to herself.
"Hey!" they heard and turned to see Liz, Patti, and Death the Kid approaching them.
"Finally you guys came on time!" Soul exclaimed.
"Well, we had to drag Kid out of bed and made sure he gets here before seven." Liz told them.
"It's not a symmetrical time slot." Kid muttered.
Liz and Patti sighed.
The bell rang.
"We better get to class or Stein will make us stand out in the hall again!" Maka said.
They all went to class and as they walked in, a sliver appeared in the chalkboard.
"What the?" a student asked.
Out came some sludge and the Ishida brothers, Harry Dresden, Thomas Wraithe, and Jack S. Arrow appeared on the floor.
"Okay, that's not cool!" Soul exclaimed.
"Just like the last time and Dr. Stein wasn't in front of it." Ox Ford said as he and Harvard D. came in.
"Morning class…" Stein said as he rolled in and saw Harry closing the NeverNever rip in the chalkboard. "Yet again with the sludge flood, Mr. Dresden?"
Kyosuke coughed and said, "Hey Dr. Stein."
"For the last time, the NeverNever has no actual entrances and exits, wherever I open a rip into it, it gives me the part I come in on and it lets me out through another part that cconnects to my destination and apparently, that ocean connects to your chalkboard!" Harry told Stein.
Stein turned the bolt in his head and said, "Maybe you should try and find another opening into the DWMA instead of my class! Which it looks like today's lesson will be a cleaning lesson."
The class groaned.
Dr. Stein noticed the passed out Jack and asked, "What's with him?"
"He needs a doctor! He got hurt badly by some ghouls." Ryonosuke explained.
"Ghouls?" Stein asked.
"We'll explain later, we better get him to the nurse!" Kyosuke exclaimed and the both of them helped their comrade up and they ran off towards the infirmary.
"Ghouls Dresden?" Stein asked.
"Ugly ones at that, I need to talk to Lord Death about something!" Dresden told him.
"Hmm?"
"It's about my other students and apprentice, they were taken by the other houses of the White Court." Harry answered.
Kniges treated Jack in the infirmary and put him into one of the beds and told the twins, "Well, his injuries were pretty bad but he will make it through, what happened?"
The door opened and Maka and crew came in to see if Jack was okay.
"Well, it looks like they better know as well since they were involved with our battle over fear." Ryonosuke said.
"Did something happen?" Chrona asked.
They nodded.
"We were attacked by one of the members of House Malvora at the Magical sisters' house." Kyosuke said as he removed his ragged vest and the remaining glove. "There was a band of ugllyy ghouls!"
"We made it through but Kana, Jiro, Miaka, her twin sister, Aria, Baki, and Molly were all taken through the NeverNever." Ryonosuke said.
"We were left to die with some of the other ghouls that Vitorio Malvora left with u, but we got them with our axe moves since they hate steel and Harry's soul fire." Kyosuke said.
"Did you two get injured?" Kniges asked as she noted the rips in their clothing.
"A little but we healed up." Kyosuke answered.
Kniges checked and was surprised that there weren't any scratches remaining on them.
"Did you guys met up with a witch since you mentioned Magical?" Patti asked.
"The Magical sisters were witches and it was a bitch to take them out." Ryonosuke answered.
"We did get our Deathscythe powers in the end!" Kyosuke told them.
"No fair, you beat me at turning Tsubaki into one!" Black Star exclaimed.
"You weren't giving me enough souls." Tsubbaki told him.
"Well, you still have the one from your brother." He told her.
She sighed.
"It smells like a lust for a Kishin soul is in the air!" Ryonosuke exclaimed as he and his bbrother pulled off their shirts to reveal the Adonis figure underneath.
The girls drooled and the guys tried to look away but the sight was so beautiful, they kept one eye looking at their figures.
"I guess we better head back to the dorm and freshen up." Kyosuke said as they walked into the hallway.
Some girls saw them and screamed and ran after them.
"All right, who's-" Sid tried to say and saw them and their shirtless selves. He felt his nose bleeding. "That is so beautiful! If I was human, I wouldn't mind…"
"Sorry, but we're incubi not necrophiliacs!" Ryonosuke exclaimed.
"Come on bro!" Kyosuke said and they left but fed on the way out without the girls noticing it.
Harry was in Lord Death's office and explained what had happened after the Ishida twins changed into their Deathscythe forms.
When he was done, Lord Death nodded and said, "I see! The house that Madrigal and Madeline represented is now after them."
"Wait, aren't they suppose to feed off of lust like Thomas and your band of White Courts since they are Wraithes like them?" Spirit Albarn asked.
"Yeah, but they feed off fear, they believed they can get more power off of it that way since people end up being frightened by someone with the Kishin soul inside of them!" Harry told them.
"This is true, but them going after the Ishidas, why?" Spirit asked.
"Well, the thing is that the other two houses, Malvora and Scavus, favor the Wraithe twins a lot and they see what they're trying to say in the end." Harry said.
"So, when they got word that they were defeated and their souls eaten, they want revenge." Spirit said.
"Exactly, so they came after us and took everyone except for me, Thomas, both Ryo and Kyo, and my apprentice's partner." Harry answered.
"Since they were taken, where would they take them?" Lord Death asked as he looked at Harry.
"To Chicago of course, that is where Kyosuke was taken to the last time when the black blood got into him." Harry answered.
"Did he and his brother get any side effects from it?" Lord Death asked.
"Not exactly, why?" Harry asked. "Is it that bad?"
"It can be, but be careful, since they are Deathscythes now the black blood might cause some effects within them since it's been dormant for a while now." Lord Death told him. "Anyways, it looks like you will need some reinforcements with this trip back to your hometown."
"I will go! I think I would be handy!" Spirit said.
"Sorry, but I rather rely on Bolt Head alone, since Jack doesn't have a meister right now, I think he will be handy in a fight and wielded by Bolt Head for now." Harry told him.
"You don't understand Smart-Ass-Wizard-Who-Wouldn't-Keep-His-Mouth-Shut, I am also a Deathscythe myself, I can give those two some tips along the way in handling some of their new powers!" Spirit told him.
"He does have a point Harry, once Jack gets back with Molly, Stein can take Spirit back into his own hands!" Lord Death told him.
"Very well, what about your son, Death the Kid was it? I think a Reaper in training will be handy unless he doesn't go emo if there's asymmetry in front of him?" Harry said.
"That would be a good idea, Maka and Soul should also go since Maka can look into souls and see their wavelengths along with Stein." Lord Death said.
"I'm guessing the Star Happy kid and his weapon and that "I-Can't-Handle-It-Because-I-Will-Pee-My-Pants" will stay behind." Harry said.
"Black Star has a lot of work in finding souls since he's behind in that department and we don't want any vampires feeding on Chrona when he's afraid." Lord Death said.
"True, Malvora will like to see him piss in front of them anyways, so we will gather up the cavalry and head out tonight!" Harry told him.
"Right! Good luck to all of you!" Lord Death exclaimed.
Thomas and Harry were walking down the hall of guillotines when Thomas asked, "Are you sure we should be taking some of Crescent Moon's students along with us?"
"Well, Maka and Kid have skills that can help us in the long run! With Stein, he can put some damage onto your cousins! But I don't want to risk it with Black Star, according to Tsubaki, her Masemune form is still giving him problems and we don't want him to freeze up in front of any ghouls that Vitorio may send on us and Chrona, even though Ragnarok has that great scream attack but he does a lot of fear bubbling up inside of him and that would be a major feast." Harry answered.
"Right, it might kill him or have him be like Justine." Thomas said.
"Right." Harry said.
"So, we just have Stein, the Albarns, Soul, the Thompsons, and Kid, this is going to be interesting." Thomas said.
"You're telling me! I'm counting on getting in and out alive and the rest of my students and my grasshopper with us in the end!" Harry said.
Author's Commentary
Hey guys! Welcome to another installment of my fic! Well, the sequel to the Soul Eater and Dresden crossover! Woot! I want to thank you guys in making the first reach over a thousand hits and keep on reading! This one might make it there or might not, let's see how it goes!
I bet you're wondering, why a sequel? Well, I did read more of Dresden Files, more like White Night and Turncoat and saw the stuff that dealt with the Wraithe twins, Madrigal and Madeline, and decided why not have the other two houses appear in this one since Madrigal and Madeline are gone? In case of the nitpicks(trust me, had one on the Pokemon fic I just finished) I already know about Vitorio dying in White Night! This is fan fiction, I thought it would be ggreat to at least have him in the Soul Eater/Dresden story as well! It would make sense for the Malvora side anyways. Goes the same for Lady Malvora and Lord Scavus as well. I will be putting more characters you like and will also include Bob the Skull! I know most of you were wondering "Where's Bob!" Well, he is in this one, so sit tight! I will also include more stuff with the Faerie courts since they didn't do much, sorry about that chapter with the weird trip through Faerie, didn't know what to do with it but I kind of made it a Noodle Incident but they will be in this.
Now onto another thing, the lyrics above I put into this one! Those lyrics are from a song called "Change" from a band known as Soul Switch! I thought the song would fit with this fic because the Ishida brothers go through their change at the start of this fic and why not put the lyrics to this one. On top of that, I thought the name Soul Switch would fit with the Soul Eater theme a bit even though the lead singer is a zombie fan and the video, not sure if I saw it pretty well, dealt with zombies. And also, I did wear my old Soul Switch shirt(which is my zombie attack shirt) with my Kyosuke cosplay for the first time(Yes, I did the costume, even had the axe form of Ryo but it needs to be rebuilt since the duct tape got ravaged from escort bumping into it). Anyways, I would love to thank the guys in Soul Switch for letting me use the lyrics and you can find them on Facebook and their music video for Change on YouTube. So, support the band! They're awesome and know how to rock!
And now onto disclaimer! I do not own the characters that the creators of Soul Eater and The Dresden Files but I only own Ryo, Kyo, Jiro, Kana, Miaka, Baki, Aria, and of course Jack along with any other characters that come from my own head! So, The Dresden Files is created by Jim Butcher and Soul Eater is owned by Funimation, Yen Press, and Atsushi Okubo. So, PLEASE support the official releases of these two works! As in, get the anime and any of the Dresden books or graphic novels! Thanks! So, keep reading and see what else comes out of my head!
