Soul Eater- Black eyes

Chapter 1
"I have a new assignment for you both," said Lord Death to Soul and Maka, who were all standing in the Death Room
"Cool, what do you have for us?" asked Soul
"A few towns away, there is a town who has been terrorized by a very powerful evil soul."
"Okay let's go; we've got this!" cheered Maka enthusiastically
"Wait, you must be careful because he is close to becoming kishin and he has abilities we don't even know about. However, I believe you can handle it, so good luck!"
"Thanks, let's go Soul," Maka smiled at her partner.
With that, the both ran off to their next assignment.
When Maka and Soul finally arrived at the town, the town was deserted, there was no one in sight, and half the buildings were destroyed. The spooky town was just so very quiet, too quiet.
"Looks like this place got hit good," stated Maka who bent down and picked up an old piece of wood from a destroyed building and examined it.
"Yeah, but it's quiet," said Soul
"Too quiet."
"I guess we'll have to look around and wait for it to attack first."
After walking a few minutes Maka sensed a soul, turning her head she saw it coming after them. Moving quickly, she grabbed Soul's arm and ran to the right a little; narrowly dodging the thing.
"Wow that was close!"
"Yes, now turn into a scythe will you?"
Within seconds Maka was facing the monster with Soul in her hands. The monster was massive; it was about ten times the size of Maka. In form, the monster was a half human and half giant bear with no face, a large metal left fist, and the right hand had knife like nails about a decameter long and very sharp. It was like one of Stine's projects gone wrong… or right depending on his intentions.
"Can that guy even see, smell or hear anything with no face? That's just creepy!" proclaimed Maka, looking disgusted.
"I don't know but let's finish him," said Soul
"Roger that."
She lifted the scythe and ran at the monster hitting him in the leg, but it just swung at her and hit her with the back of its right hand, making her fly backwards into another falling to the ground, she stood up a little sore but it was nothing.
She ran at it again, swinging right then left and right again. With every swing, the monster took a step back and then he swung its right hand; slicing five nail marks across Maka's right arm, causing her to take a few steps back.
The monster then came at Maka, swinging it's arm. It swung from high to low; Maka barely managing to dodge it. However, the pinkie of the monster slashed across her forehead causing blood to drip down her face, she cringed in anger.
The monster bent down, closing its fingers together and dragging it is hand across the ground, he tossed the gravel at Maka. While in the air the gravel formed into spikes hitting her at all directions and cutting her body in multiple places.
"Maka are you alright out there? You have to do something," stated Soul.
"Fine I'm a little scratched up but I'm ready to finish this," Maka replied as she ran at the monster.
"Are you ready for some electricity?" the monster grumbled as she ran for him.
Its left hand was sparking like sparkerlers in the night sky as he swung its fist low. Then, coming from up high, it hit her in the gut. Maka's eyes shot open in pain at that millisecond, her hands falling open and dropping Soul. When Soul hit the ground, Maka getting electrocuted by the fist, she could feel the electricity go through her out in pain, she could feel it effecting every muscle and organ in her body. Then finally it stopped and she dropped to the ground motionless.
"MAKA!" yelled Soul concernedly, "MAKA! Get up, come on!"
She finally moved her head up to look at the monster.
'I'm so tired and sore I can't move at all but I have to beat this thing' she thought.
She struggled to stand, everything in her was aching her eyesight was a little blurry, but she knew she had to defeat on her feet, she picked Soul up then turned to the thing determinedly.
"Are you okay?"
"Don't even ask. Soul get ready, because now is the end," she snarled.
"Okay."
He was puzzled and a little worried, but he knew when she was like this to just to go along with it.
"SOUL RESONANCE!" they yelled together as the partners glowed.
"WITCH HUNTER!" yelled Maka as she swung at the monster, cutting it in half then turning it to dust and just leaving the soul behind.
Soul turned back to his human form, and then walked over to the soul. He tilted his head,then ate it.
"Mmmmm, yum" he smiled
Then he turned to Maka. She was standing and bent over grasping her abdomen in overwhelming pain, while breathing deeply.
"Maka?" he frowned taking a step closer.
She fell to her knees and then fell over to the ground passed out.
"MAKA!"Soul screamed as he ran over to her.
"I wonder where Maka and Soul are?" asked Patty.
Her comment was directed to everyone who was sitting at the front of the school looking out at the town
"They went for a new assignment, apparently it's a hard one," answered Kid
"I'm worried; they have been gone for a long you think they are okay?" asked Tsubaki
"They are nowhere near being as strong as I am, but they are strong so they can do it," stated Black Star
"Wait! Look down there, I think I see Soul," stated Liz, pointing at the bottom of the stairs towards a figure walking up
As they got closer, they noticed Soul holding something or someone.
"Oh my god," gasped Tsubaki, putting her hand over her mouth with a few tears falling, causing everyone to turn around to look.
They could now see Soul was carrying Maka, who was badly injured and bleeding everywhere; not moving at all.
They all stood up and ran over to them, filled with fear. Soul saw them all running towards him and Maka.
"Soul what happened, is...is she..." stuttered Patty
"No, she is still alive but we have to get her to Mira Nygus," replied Soul sadly
"WHO DID THIS? I'LL KILL THEM!" yelled Black Star with his fists up and snarling
"Maka already killed him before she passed out."
He slumped over in disappointment, "Good for her."
"Oh my," gasped Mira as the seven teens walked into the nurse's office "-set her down over there on that bed," she continued,pointing.
Soul set her down on the bed and as he looked at her, he felt sad. She was so scratched and beat up with such a low pulse. It was his job to protect his meister, his best friend, and he had failed.
"Okay now, just go outside and wait for me. I need to look over her."
Everyone looked at each other and then walked outside.
Over ten minutes later, Mira came out into the hall with a clipboard in her hand. Immediately, everyone gathered around; wanting to know what happened to Maka.
"I have all the info about the soul you fought, but I need to know when in your fight did she lose the most steam? What I mean is, when she was most affected?" she asked
"Well…" thought Soul
"I know it's hard since you are a weapon and all, but anything will do."
"At one part of the fight, the thing punched her with its metal fist, and then in midair she dropped me... no it was more like she threw me away, then the thing I think electrocuted her after that her soul felt a little different even handling me afterwards," said Soul.
"Hhmm…" thought Mira "I think in a way she knew that was going to happen and threw you away to protect you, or else you would be in one of the beds. But…come with me…"
They followed her into the office she walked to one side of Maka.
"She took a pretty bad beating, lots of scratched and actually almost went into a coma but not quite; instead she is in a deep, deep sleep but that is not the bad part," she said.
Everyone gasped,hoping that it isn't that bad. Mira lifted Maka's shirt up, revealing her abdomen. It had an imprint of a large fist that was gray with more gray spreading around it.
"You see, the punch sent a tainted electrical current through her body. We don't know much; it will take a day or two to know what is going on."
"What is your best guess then?" asked Kid
"I think the electrical current affected her body and will continue to kill cells, thereby turning them the worst case, so much will go gray that her body will stop functioning."
"And what?" asked Liz wanting to know.
"She will die," answered Mira, sadly.
"What?" inquired a voice behind then causing everyone to turn around, "My Maka, what have you done this time?" asked an upset and crying father.
He ran to his daughter's side, quickly taking hold of her hand in pure concern. Everyone looked on sadly; they had never seen Spirit act like this…so sad and so helpless. Feeling so helpless themselves made this even harder to endure.
"You kids are going to go to class tomorrow. We will call you if any changes," stated Mira.
"WHAT! No, I can't go to class when my friend is like this!" yelled Soul in full protest.
"You must go to class and get your minds off of things. Besides, I'm sure Maka would want you to go to class and tell her later what she missed."
Everyone finally understood and went home for the night.
