KISHIN BREAKOUT IN TRANSYLVANIA - ARUSA THE CURSED MEISTER?
Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz, Patty, Sid and Professor Stein had been sent to Transylvania to take care of a recent explosion of Kishin formations. They scoured the streets purging them of the human soul devourers. They were still oblivious to the source of the break out. They agreed to meet up at the Aedes Deum church in the centre of the city. Maka and Soul were on their way to regroup with the others when Black Star appeared out of nowhere almost running them down.
"HAHAHA! COME OUT KISHIN SCUM BLACK STAR IS HERE TO KILL YOU!"
"Uh, Black Star I don't think they're going to come out if you tell them that you're going to kill them." Tsubaki raised a hand nervously. She looked up noticing Maka and Soul "Oh hey guys."
"Hey," Soul slouched putting his hands into his pockets. "So you guys have any luck hunting down the source of this breakout?"
"No not yet."
"Don't worry I'll find the bastard and kill him, after all if I'm gonna surpass God then one little Kishin shouldn't be much trouble."
"I wouldn't be so hasty Black Star, we don't even know if it is a Kishin that is causing the breakout, it could be a witch." Maka put her hands on her hips.
"If it was a witch wouldn't you be able to sense it?" Black Star asked dumbly.
"If it is a witch they're probably using soul protect." She replied smartly. Suddenly her eyes widened.
"Hey Maka what is it?" Soul asked.
"I can sense something…"
"HAHA! I knew it! A witch!" Black Star shouted. Maka shook her head.
"No it's not a witch, it's not a Kishin either… but its not human…" She closed her eyes concentrating. "Over there, it's coming from that alley way." She pointed up the street. Soul and Tsubaki transformed into weapon form and the group advanced. When they reached the dimly lit alley they noticed a smear of blood like something had been dragged. Laying half in half out of a shadow was a body. It was a man or at least a dead man. His chest had been ripped open and his eyes were blank.
"Oh god…" Tsubaki whimpered.
"That's not cool man, not cool at all…" Soul said turning away from the scene.
"His soul is missing…" Maka said quietly.
"Hey look at that." Soul said suddenly. They all turned to a shadowy corner, a young woman, wrapped in bandages and a ratty skirt was huddled in the shadows. Her arms reaching up as though she was clinging to something. Her body was spattered in blood and she shook, small gasps and sobs echoed along the stone walls.
"It's a girl." Black Star observed. When he spoke the young woman jerked her muscles visibly tensing.
"No… they ca… t… see… I didn't… I did… no… can't… had… o… didn… ant…" She muttered quietly. Maka gripped Soul's handle tighter.
"Did you do this?" She asked narrowing her eyes. After a few moments she started muttering again.
"Had no choice… must survive… promised… pain… so much pain…"
"The hunting of human souls is strictly forbidden, as members of the DWMA it is our duty to uphold that rule, you must die for this offence." Maka got into a fighting stance, Black Star followed her lead. A bone-chilling laugh echoed from her hidden face.
"Stupid children you understand nothing… it is necessary… I must survive, it is a curse that will never end, you must survive to so that is why I suggest you back down."
"HA! Are you saying that we can't beat you? Don't make me laugh, there're two of us and one of you, and I'm on a whole different level so there is no way I'm going to lose to a snivelling soul eater like you!" Black Star laughed.
"You like the sound of your own voice don't you? Such an ego, but no child you cannot win…" her voice was low and barely audible. Maka let out a cry of rage and charged her, swinging Soul at the woman's head. Just as his blade was about to take her head off something moved out from underneath her arms. Fangs shot out of the shadows catching the scythe. Maka gasped jumping backwards wrenching her weapon away from the black creature. The darkness snarled and a slender wolf like creature advanced out of the shadows. It stood protectively between the meisters and the strange woman. Her fingers caught in the beasts fur, she pulled her self to her feet, turning around. The creature's head came up past her waist, she slouched against it. Coughing she put an arm around her middle. Her body was slender and pale. She was hunched in a weak position, blood covering her mouth and hands.
"They came because of me, they feed because of me, because of the curse I am forced to endure, the pain of devouring a human soul, have you ever tried it? They are tasteless, that makes it easier to handle, but once it's down the pain starts, burns your insides… must endure until the sun rises. A day of agony for a year of sanity, is it really such a bad deal?" her voice was barely a whisper, she slowly raised her head, icy blue eyes rimmed in midnight caught the moonlight. "You cannot win," she muttered.
"Oh, just try us." Black Star raised his weapon and Maka did the same.
"We wont let you get away with this."
"Very well if that is what you wish, who am I to deny the wants of children, they are so demanding aren't they Lupis?" the black creature next to her growled. Her eyes flashed and her lips spread upwards in a sick smile. Her knees sagged and she placed a hand on the beast's head. "Down boy, I can deal with the little meisters, I wont kill them but this should be fun…" she stepped forward, it was more of a step drag movement then a walk, she dragged her feet like some kind of zombie.
"Oh come on, seriously, what are you gonna do, bore us to death while we wait for you to get over here?" Black Star shouted charging at her. Her smile vanished, her head drooped bangs covering her eyes.
"Stupid boy." Black Star slashed at her with Tsubaki's Kusarigama mode. She dodged so quickly that he stumbled almost falling on his face. Turning around he tried again to hit her but she was surprisingly fast. He swung at her head, yelling a battle cry, her hand shot out grabbing his wrist. Her fingers dug into the flesh. Black Star gasped and fell to his knees. He dropped Tsubaki who transformed a few feet away.
"Black Star!" she called.
"Damn, I can't move, what the hell did you do to me?" he winced gritting his teeth. She bent down staring at him.
"As I said before, stupid boy," she straightened. "Let me ask you all a question, who exactly do you think I am?"
"You're a monster who kills human and eats their souls, you are evil." Maka replied automatically. The woman's cold gaze turned on her.
"I'd know those green eyes anywhere… you're Spirit's little daughter aren't you?" Maka's eyes widened.
"Whoa, how the hell do you know Maka's dad?" Soul asked. Maka glared at him.
"Do not refer to him as my dad!" letting go of Black Star's wrist the icy eyed woman threw him at Maka's feet. Tsubaki rushed over to help him.
"Damn…" he muttered.
"Yes," the pale woman ran a hand through her spiky midnight hair. "I'm not a Kishin you know, that's what you thought isn't it? Or perhaps you thought I was a witch. No I'm quite human… or at least pretty close. You see every year I have to consume the soul of a human or else I lose my sanity and I am engulfed in madness, I promised someone I wouldn't let that happen and that is why I am covered in a dead man's blood." Her hand moved back to her stomach, clenching her fingers into the skin, teeth gritting in pain. "I promised… I would remain… the pain is … unbearable."
"Awe poor you, you wont have to suffer once I kill you!" Back Star was on his feet again and rushing right back into battle. "Let's see how you like a blast from my soul wavelength!" he grounded himself and slammed his hands into her side. Sparks flew everywhere the crack of energy accompanying them. She grunted eyes widening but didn't budge. Black Star stepped back confused. Her shoulders started to shake as a laugh racked her slender body.
"That's a neat trick, unfortunately it won't work on Me." she turned to face him and using her free hand poked a finger at his chest. There was a small explosion and he was sent flying, crashing through the wall of a building.
"What the hell, how did she block his attack?" Soul growled.
"I don't know!" Maka shouted running at their pale skinned opponent. She swung Soul at her. But she ducked and slid under Maka's defence. She jabbed two fingers into the scythe meisters stomach, punching her knuckles in between her rib cage and finally grabbing her shoulders and pressing her thumbs down behind her collarbone. Maka screamed and dropped face first onto the ground.
"Maka!" Soul shouted transforming.
"I can't move." She hissed.
"Damn, what did you do to her?"
"Don't they teach you anything at that academy? Or has the teaching curve gone down in the last sixteen years?" she moved her arms back to hold her middle. A small convulsion made her gasp. Gritting her teeth she continued. "Like I said earlier I'm not a Kishin as you'd all like to believe, I was a meister at the DWMA." Soul's eyes widened.
"What?"
"Did you think I was just an abnormally strong magician? How exactly did you think I knew how to avoid all your attacks and alter my soul wavelength to deflect the loud ones attack?"
"If you're a meister then why are you hunting human souls?" Maka asked trying to force her head off the ground and failing.
"Stupid children weren't you listening to anything I just said, I already explained that." She sounded irritated. Another spasm made her tense.
"NOW!" a blur came hurtling down off of a building right at her. Just then the black beast that had been silently watching the battle leapt crashing into Black Star sending him face first into the ground. It landed in front of the woman who had sunk to her knees groaning in pain. It snarled eyes glowing golden in the dim light.
"Loo…" she reached out clutching at the creature's fur. It growled taking a wide stance. Soul eyed its massive claws and fangs, no way could he fight that thing alone. With his meister incapacitated all he could do was sit there. Black Star glared.
"Damn it. Tsubaki Kusarigama mode."
"Right." The female weapon transformed and joined her meister. The black wolf creature snarled, its lips pulling back menacingly. Black Star started forward.
"No one hurts my friends and lives!"
"Wait!" Someone shouted. Black Star stumbled and fell face first into the dirt. Jumping to his feet he fumed.
"What the hell!" Professor Stein, Kid, Liz, Patty and Sid came running into view.
"Wait, don't attack her." Stein said coming up to Black Star.
"Well you could have said that before I started moving!" The scientist ignored him and walked over to the black beast. It growled softly at him.
"Lupis," he stated looking it right in the eyes. Its ears flattened and it glared at Stein. He reached out and placed a hand on the creature's head. It brushed its tail against the crouching woman behind it. She groaned but lifted her head. When her eyes focussed on Stein they widened in shock.
"St-Stein?" she stuttered.
"Hello Arusa, how have you been holding up?"
