Welcome to my first Soul Eater story!
Disclaimer for the story: I don't own Soul Eater in anyway, shape, or form. I only own the plot. (I never seen a story like this so I'm sorry in advance if you know it from somewhere). Also, I watched the anime but never seen the manga.
Summary: Everyone knew Maka's mother was a great woman and meister. And everyone knew Maka inherited the skills of being a great meister like her mother. Yet for some reason, Kami disappeared after the divorce, supposedly traveling around the world. But what if Maka got something more from her mother? Something that was long forgotten? Something hidden in Maka's heritage? (AU)
Ages:
Maka: 15
Soul: 16
Black*Star: 15
Tsubaki: 17
Death the Kid: 16
Liz: 17
Patty: 15
Crona: (Appears in later chapters) 15
As always, the ages are changed in my stories and I'm sorry if they seem off but some ages I just can't find. I tried! Tsubaki and Liz just seem older than me for some reason. So the average age is 15-Maka and Black*Star were born around the same time and Crona seems like their age. So sorry. *Shrugs* Oh and as always, other characters may appear but I'm too lazy to add them or that I'm not sure they are going to be added.
Rating: T, I honestly don't think I need to explain it. If you seen Soul Eater then you know about some scenes and the swearing. There will be swearing since this is a Soul Eater FanFiction.
Note: So I know I have You Can't Run going on but why the hell not try to push my luck and try to update for both. Sometimes it gets a bit boring to update the same thing over and over again and it doesn't help when you have writer's block on that one story. And as always, I won't be able to update as much cause of school. Oh and I broke my new computer!
Story Time!
The three top meisters of Death Weapon Meister Academy were walking to a forest village that apparently had strong Kishins invading it with their weapons. It was silent besides from the multiple steps the group took and the wind rustling the grass. It was soon ruined due to the assassin of the group.
"Ugh, this is so boring!" Black*Star yelled angrily. The girl with many weapon forms tried to calm him down before anyone deiced to hit him and start a fight.
"Calm down Black*Star," Tsubaki cooed. "We will be there shortly."
"Well why can't we just run there?" He asked.
"Because," Death the Kid spoke. "Kishins are all around the forest we are heading to. So as soon as we see the forest, you all need to transform. We can't rush; we need to take our time to scout out the forest before heading to the village."
"Exactly so we can't afford any screw ups." Maka added.
"I, the almighty Black*Star, wouldn't screw up!" He yelled, pointing as Maka accusingly. Her green eyes narrowed at the one to surpass god.
"I didn't say you would screw up." She pointed out. "I was saying that on all of ours behalf moron." Soul Eater sighed, making the meister and assassin look at him.
"Don't start fighting, it would be uncool." He stated as he continued to walking. Maka rolled her eyes but nodded in agreement, tailing her weapon. Since the scythe meister and the scythe now took the lead of leading the group to the mission, the rest followed. It was once again silent, mostly due to the fact Maka brought out her book as a warning. They continued walking for a good ten minutes when the forest came into view.
"Alright, we are here. You all need to transform." Kid stated.
"Right," The four weapons nodded. The girls jumped into the air to transform while Soul transformed his left arm into a scythe, offering his other hand to Maka. The scythe meister smiled, grabbing his hand. He transform, allowing Maka to twirl him in his weapon form to make the light fade. Liz and Patty fell in their twin pistol modes easily into Kid's hands. As a force of habit, he struck a pose making the light around the Thompson Sisters fade. Black*Star jumped into the air, grabbing onto Tsubaki in her ninja sword mode. Once landed onto the ground again, the light faded around her form.
"Alright, let's go." Maka ordered. She sprinted ahead of her teammates straight to the forest. Her green eyes filled with determination.
"Maka, we need to check out the area!" Kid yelled after her.
"YAHOO," Black*Star yelled, pumping a fist into the air. He having the same idea as Maka he ran after her.
"Kid, we need to get there to even check out the area!" Maka called over her shoulder. "The sooner we get to the forest, the sooner we can kill the Kishins, and the sooner the village can be put as ease!" Defeated, Kid ran after the two he was stuck on a mission. Due to Maka's decision to run to the entrance of the forest, they made it there in five minutes flat.
"Alright, Maka can you use your Soul Perception to scout out the area for any Kishin souls?" Kid asked. Maka nodded, closing her eyes. Her eyes snapped opened to reveal her eyes grew a brighter-almost neon-shade. She looked around, not liking the results making her grip on Soul tighten.
"What's up Maka?" Soul asked, his reflection shown in the blade of the scythe, staring at Maka intently getting a bad vibe from her and also feeling her grip tighten.
"…I don't know." She answered. "It's strange. There is no sign of conflict but it looks like there are roughly twenty Kishin souls in the village filled with at least fifty villagers." She elaborated, getting weird looks from Kid and Black*Star. "I don't know how to make head or tails of it. Not to mention there are literally Kishin souls surrounding the edge of the forest. The closet one is about ten feet away from us hidden in the trees." Only silenced followed Maka's explanation, everyone was tense from what was going on exactly.
"This is peculiar." Kid muttered.
"Well what should we do?" Liz asked, her reflection shown in the gun held in Kid's right hand.
"We have no choice but to complete this mission of course." Kid stated. In the blade of the Ninja Sword Black*Star was clutching, Tsubaki's reflection shown and she looked worried and concerned.
"We should go to the village first. The villagers there could get hurt due to the Kishins there. Then we take out the Kishins on the edge of the forest." She said.
"That's right; the Kishins at the edge of the forest are just standing there. As if waiting for an order," Maka agreed, returning her attention to the forest. "If we play our cards right, we can get the souls of the Kishins in the village and go to kill the remaining ones simply before anyone gets hurt."
"True." Kid agreed.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Black*Star asked, grinning. "I bet the villagers are dying to see a show." Maka and Kid shook their heads at the member of the Star Clan. Both ran ahead to get to the village faster leaving Black*Star in the dust. "Hey! Don't think you can steal my spot light!" He called, running after them. They only ran for about two minutes until Maka gasped, skidding to a stop as she looked around. The two males were forced to stop and turned to look at the riled up Albarn.
"How…" She whispered.
"Maka, what is it?" Black*Star asked, a bit annoyed due to them having to stop. Yet he was still a bit concerned as well.
"The souls, they all disappeared." She explained in a shaken tone.
"What?" Kid asked.
"They all disappeared." Maka repeated. The souls that were once in the village and surrounding the village all disappeared. She seen it happen before such as when Crona was fighting that gang but how could the Kishins near the edge of the forest disappear along with the souls of the village when they were apart by the great distance. The forest was rather large and the village was dead set in the middle of the center.
"How is that possible?" Kid asked. Maka could only shake her head as her grip got tighter on Soul.
"I…I don't know. It happened so fast; in a blink of an eye actually. I could see about one hundred souls and then I blink, all gone." She stated. The group remained silent, thinking about what could have happened in at least a second.
"I guess our only solution is-" Yet the reaper was cut off by pounding footsteps. The group turned and saw a person barring a black cloak, running from the entrance. Maka toke a fighting stance seeing this person as a threat.
"I can't sense their soul." Maka whispered to her teammates. "Not even a faint one." That was enough reasoning for Kid and Black*Star to drop down into a fighting stance as well. Ash-blonde hair fell from the hood as the person stopped running. Their eyes were hidden from the fabric framing their face but the group knew that they were staring intently at them-perhaps even staring at their souls.
"Soul Cancel, release." The figure said in a soft yet firm tone. The voice sounded familiar to Maka and couldn't shake it off. But due to the figure talking, the group knew it was in fact female under the cloak. Maka's eyes widen seeing the powerful soul that the mysterious female had.
"She is a witch, she was able to use soul protect." She said to Kid and Black*Star. The two males glanced at her out of the corner of their eyes but kept their main focus on this woman. "Yet she up-graded it somehow so her soul was completely masked. She is powerful." She explained, leaving out the part how the woman's soul had wings. This woman…something about her was making Maka nervous and worried. But why is what she didn't get. Was she afraid?
"Maka," Soul called. Maka looked into the scythe's blade to see her partner's reflection. He looked quite serious and not happy. "What aren't you telling us? I know something is wrong." Figures her weapon would be the one to figure that out. She only shook her head.
"The thing is I'm not sure." She admitted. "It's just like a feeling in my gut or something."
"I'm sorry for the scare but I came for something dear to my heart." The woman stated, raising her hand so her palm was facing the group of teenage meisters. Her other hand reached to grip her hood.
No, it can't be! Maka thought, her eyes widening as she watched the hood fall revealing the woman's face.
And a cliff hanger already.
