The story takes place 4 months after Soul took away Maka's memories of him.

-SOULS POV-

"Its dark.. I can't see... but I can tell I'm outside.. In the forest?"

"NO!"

Suddenly I hear a familiar female voice. I turn around quickly. My vision quickly goes back to normal, I could clearly see Maka, the love of my life standing before me.. but she looks horrified. What is she scared of?

Maka's eyes are wide, her mouth is covered by both hands. I take a step forward towards her but she takes two steps back. I reach out my hand to her and notice something. Blood. All over my hand.

"W-What have you done?!" Maka asks in a faint frail voice.

I looked down at my body only to discover I was covered in blood. I quickly spin around to see a horrific scene behind me. Dead bodies. They werent just anyone though. It was BlackStar, Kid, Liz, Tsubaki, Patty, Spirit and Stein. Their bodies looked as if they were mauled by a bear.

"Did I do this?! I wouldnt.. Would I? Am I even capable of-" My thoughts were interrupted when Maka let out a terrifying scream.I turned quickly to face her but she was gone.. there was nothing left except a puddle of blood.

"I fell to my knees. This can't be real. "

"Oh but it is Soul. This is your future, now that your inner demon has been unleashed you're now capable of doing this and so much more." I heard the little demon speaking.

"No... No. No. No. No. No. NO. NO!" I kept screaming no, I didn't want to believe it. I closed my eyes and screamed.

I shot my eyes back open and sat up in bed quickly. Breathing heavily, my eyes darted around the room I was in. Someone came running in. Dr. Stein.

"Soul are you ok? I heard screaming?"

I covered one eye with my hand and looked down at my lap. "J-Just another bad dream.."

I tightly closed my eyes trying to get the images of my dead friends out of my head.

"Are you gonna be ok?"

"...I don't know." I answered un-surely as I looked up at Stein who gave me a worried look.

"It seems like your demon self is dominating your mind and thoughts and causing your urge to kill and destroy.. I believe thats why you killed that man and-"

"I know." I interrupted. "I know. I wish I could just go back in time and prevent all this.."

Stein sighed. "Me too. But you need to rest more. Lord Death wants to speak with you in the morning about what happened earlier today. So go ahead and lay back down and we'll talk more tomorrow."

I laid back down and closed my eyes as I listened to Stein exit the room.

It's true. Today, I lost to my demon side and killed a man. An innocent man of Death City, one of the people I swore to protect...Now I'm in big trouble with Lord Death... For now I'm being watched by Stein, Spirit and probably many others. Who knows when I'll strike again. But It's not my fault...Right?

-THE NEXT MORNING-

Before I knew it, the sun was already rising, the light shining through the windows in my room forcing my eyes to open. I blinked a few times as my eyes adjusted to the lighting. I yawned loudly as I stretched before sitting up and rubbing my eyes. I let my hands fall lifeless beside my body. I looked around the room and yawned one more time. I tossed the blankets off of me then slowly threw one foot over the other. I placed my hands on the bed and pushed myself upward off of it. I stumbled over to the mirror and looked at myself.

I looked horrible. I looked like one of those crazy people who suffer from insomnia. I groaned and turned around pushing my back against the wall then slowly sliding down to the ground. I placed my head in my hands and just sat there, thinking.

I sighed. "I killed a man. I lost Maka because instead of protecting her, I just put her in danger. I lost my friends and the people a care about... Would it even matter if I was here tomorrow?"

"Of course it would."

I looked up to find Stein leaning on the wall.

"Theres no one left who cares about me really. I messed up. And now-"

"What are you saying? You still have BlackStar, Kid and their weapons.."

I stood back up. "I get what you're saying. But you and I both know that I can rarely see them, for Maka's sake. I just want her to be happy. Thats enough for me. I don't care what happens to me really."

Stein sighed. "Well your trial is in a few hours."

"I don't see a point in a trial. I took an innocent life. I'm no better than the demons I hunt. Might as well get rid of me too."

"The Soul I know wouldn't just give up." Stein said quietly but loud enough for me to hear.

I looked at the ground as I listened to Stein leave the room.

Should I even go to my trial? Wait. What am I saying?! Of course I'm going. It was an accident. Lord Death will understand. He should...

I sat down on the bed. I looked at the clock. "Got 2 more hours, it's only 8:04... I could sleep a little to clear my head..."

I laid down and bed and closed my eyes for what seemed like only seconds until the door to the room I was in opened. I jumped up to see Stein and 2 other people I havent met enter the room.

"Soul, I told you to get ready. What are you doing?" Stein said.

"What?" I looked at the clock that read 10:30. I sighed "Shit."

I jumped out of bed and instead of taking off the grey sweat pants I had on, I just put on a black shirt then turned around. I glred at Stein as he held up a pair of handcuffs.

"Seriously? I'm not a criminal Stein..."

"I'm sorry, it's the councils order."

"The council? Man, fuck them!"

"Soul..."

I held out my hands waiting or Stein to put the handcuffs on. "I'm serious, they're nothing but a bunch of-"

I was interrupted by the sound of a woman clearing her throat. I leaned over to see who was the mystery woman behind Stein.

It was a woman a little shorter than arms were crossed over her chest. She was wearing a well fitted black trench coat that went down just slightly above her knees. Along with the coat she was wearing black skin tight pants topped off with some black high heel boots. She had long straight ash blonde hair... Like Maka. The only difference is Maka's hair was curlier than this womans.

"W-Who's she?" I asked.

Stein finished cuffing me then moved over allowing me to see the woman. Stein pushed hs glasses up.

"Soul." He gestured to the woman. "Meet Kami."

Kami? Wait. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped slightly.

"Kami Albarn. She works for the council but in her own defense I believe she has more common sense than all 6 of the councilmen put together" Stein smiled as he finished.

The woman named Kami smiled at him slightly. "Currently Albarn.." She added on.

"K-Kami? Wait so you're Maka's-"

"I am Maka's mother, if thats what you were going to ask."

Kami walked towards me. "And you are Soul Evans better known as Soul Eater...The so called demon god?"

I nodded slightly. I wonder if she knows about me and Maka.

"Well then, it looks like I have the right guy. Preoffessor. Eavans. Follow me please."

Kami walked out of the room, Stein right next to her. I followed but on both of my sides were the 2 other people, but they werent my body guards, they were there to take me down if I go craz- If I lose myself...

I sighed while watching Kami and Stein talk to each other, I wanted to hear but was unable to get close enough to them due to the 2 men on either side of me. After a few moments we arrived at our destenation. The Death Room.

"Evans, you ready for your trial?" Kami asked.

It was hard to tell if she was on my side or on the councils.

I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath "Yeah.." I said quietly.

Kami frowned and opened the doors to the Death Room. It looked the same but the council I was talking about earlier was there, which I did not expect. And in the middle of the council was Lord Death. (Theres only 6 members of the council so that means that theres 3 on either side of Lord Death. The council exists to help make major decisions like they are about to do but in the end Lord Death makes the final decision. Lord Death still has more power than them so don't worry!)

We stood before them, I was still surrounded by the 2 men while Kami and Stein were over to my right but a little further back than I was. As I inspected the room more I noticed Spirit was standing behind Lord Death and the doors behind us closed. I noticed there were no chairs which meant this was probably going to be quicker than I thought.

The room was quiet until Lord Death spoke. "Soul Eater, you stand here before us today because it is said that on your usual patrol around Death City at approximately 9:43 pm of last night you encountered a man and brutally killed him. Do you plead guilty for this act of crime?"

I was nervous, my throat tightened and I felt like I couldnt speak. I didn't know what to plead so I glanced at Stein. Stein gave me a slight nod. I turned towards Lord Death, the council and spoke.

"I plead guilty."

"Hmm. Very well. As if now you are being charged with murder but depending on what you have to say ma change our minds. So lets begin. Soul, what's you're story?"

I cleared my throat. "Well... Just like you said. I was on my usual patrol around the city, It was actually quiet. I was about to head home when I saw this man walking on the street. After about a minute my vision went black, I couldnt hear and I couldnt think, next thing I know I'm covered in blood and theres this dead man right in front of me... I don't know why I did it.. But I took an innocent life and I feel like I'm no better then the demons I'm supposed to hunt."

"I- I do have something to say about Soul." I looked to my right to see Kami with her hand in the air.

"Yes?" Lord Death said.

"Soul did kill that man!" So I guess she's on the council's side... "But-" ... or maybe not. "-He has saved many families and people in this city and if it werent for him we would be overrun with demons of every shape and size." She turned to me. "Soul is better than the demons he hunts, he is far above them." She looked back at the council. "I just want all of you to take that in to consideration."

It was at that moment I could tell that Maka was just like Kami. Both were strong hearted both full of bravery who possessed beautiful souls, they're that type of person that you just couldnt hate, no matter how hard you tried.

Lord Death nodded. "Stein? What excuse have you come up with?" one of the councilmen asked sarcastically.

Stein pushed up his glasses and smiled. He turned the screw in his head befre speaking. " I prefer the word explanation.." Stein cleared his throat. " My conclusion is that Souls demon self dominated his mind and thoughts and caused his urge to kill and destroy.. I believe thats why he killed that man."

"Good theory ." Lord Death said... "Now excuse myself and the council for a few short minutes while we deliberate."

With that Lord Death and the 6 councilmen exited the room leaving me Stein Kami and the 2 random men alone in the Death Room.

I looked at Kami and Stein who were standing silently. I cleared my throat before quietly speaking. "S-so Kami.. does uh- does Maka know you're in town?"

Kami looked at me and shook her head. I slightly nodded my head and looked forward at the door Lord Death went through. Seconds later they returned.

"That was fast..." I said quietly.

Lord Death and the 6 councilmen all lined back up. Lord Death lceared his throat. At this moment I was nervous and afraid honestly.

"Soul. The council and I have decided to go easy on you and charge you with manslaughter rather than murder. Giving you the option of 4 months in prision or you can go on paroll for 2 years. Make your choice."

Prison sounds terrible.. I don't know if I'd last there. But... paroll for 2 years? Who knows what they'll do to me! This is tough...

"I-I guess.. I choose p-"

I was cut off by Kami. "Soul would like to g with the 2 years of paroll. Lord Death."

WHAT?! I thought to myself.

Lord Death spoke. "Very well then. Soul Eater you are here by sentanced to 2 years if paroll starting today. Please return to the Death Room in approximately 2 hours for your terms and conditions."

"But I-" I attempted to talk but was cut off by Lord Death.

"You are now dismissed."

Lord Death and the council left the room hastily while the 2 men uncuffed me. I rubebd one of my wrists and turned around to face Kami and Stein.

"What the hell did you guys do?!" I asked.

Stein held up his hands in defense. "I didn't do to her."

I looked at Kami who had a smirk on her face. "You'll thank me later."

I sighed. Kami frowned at me. "Evans follow me."

"Huh?"

"I need to talk to you."

"...Ok?"

I followed Kami out of the Death Room. I didn't know how I felt about this woman, one second she's on my side and then next she's not.. It's like I can't figure her out and it bothers me. But yet... she's a lot like Maka in many ways...

Before I knew it we were on a balcony at the top of DWMA, I hadnt even realized she had lead me here. Kami was leaning on the ledge looking out at death city.

I slowly walked up to her. "Sooo... What did you want to talk about?"

"About you."

"Me?"

"Yes. I know more about you than you think."

"..Ok?" I said quietly.

"I know about your past..."

"Well obviously... you were just in the trial room with me."

She smiled. "Yes yes. I know about you being my daughters weapon. You both were indeed a pair... But then you died, but your death only triggered a chain of events."

"A chain of events?"

"Everything thats happened since your death 4 years ago is leading up to something big."

She placed her hands on my shoulders. "There are things you don't know and things you don't understand yet Soul... but the time will come."

I backed up a little. "What are you talking about?"

"There will come a time when a evil greater than any evil we've ever known rises. And we wont be able to stop it..."

"I'm a little confused."

Kami sighed. "Something bad is coming Soul. And we wont be able to stop it. Only you will be able to-"

"Me?! What?!"

"Yes you will be the only one strong enough to even stand a chance...Thats why its important we try to hold back your demon side as much as possible."

"Waoh hold up. How do you know all this? To me you sound like some crazy lady on drugs."

She furrowed her eye brows. "You need to ask Lord Death to show you the prophecy..."

"What?"

"The madness is coming. And it wont stop. It's going to engulf this world if we don't change something soon." She looked out at the city.

I walked back up next to her.

"The world cannot be changed with petty words alone...thats why I'm afraid... thats why I'm here. No one is wanting to take action, when they decde to do something it will be too late. hats why I came to find you. I think you're the one everyone is talking about.. I believe you will be our messiah... "

"Messiah?" I whispered to myself.

"Suppose there is an evil that justice cannot bring would you do? Would you taint your hands with evil to destroy evil? Or would you carry out your own justice and succumb to that evil?" Kami asked.

"...I-"

"Soul Lord Death is requesting you to come back to the Death Room. " Stein said, interrupting mine and Kami's conversation.

"R-right.." I said quickly leaving the balcony.

What the hell just happened. Wht prohpacy is she talking about? What massiah? Cant be me... and what is this great and almighty evil.. what makes her think I can defeat what ever it is... if its even real...Damn.. what the hell is going on.. I'm about to get some answers.

-STEINS POV-

I watched as Soul quickly left the balcony. "What did you say to him?" I asked turning back to Kami.

"I just warned him.. the kid deserves a warning for what will come... I wanted him to understand that things that dont change go extinct..."

"So you think he's the one?"

"Yes I know he is."

I shrugged walking towards Kami keeping my hands tucked in my coat pockets.

"I'm honestly still confused about all this...Why would Lord Death wait so long to tell everyone about this?"

"I'm not sure but I know Soul can save us."

"Soul is... I'm sorry, but I feel like he has given up.. I don't think he will make it. He seems lost.. like all that he has been longing for is gone. Like he has no reason to exist."

"Humans, exist to chase for happiness. What Soul was looking for was just that bit of happiness. I'ts not something special. The root of his actions, as a person, they are very tiny wishes which are apparent in everyone. These dreams, these words, who can renounce them? Who has that right? But, however, no matter who, no matter what the wish is, one cannot bind others and the world to themselves. Determine one's fate. If, one allows the thoughts of others, to go beyond that of the world his existence is merely one which is drifting with the waves. Crimes and punishment. Fate and judgment. What's blocking Soul is , the past he created. It is hate between people. Even so, he should be thankful now. Yes. At least...it is a fact that humans exist to pursue happiness. All the wishes, concealing those yearnings... they are born from despair. Thus creating the Desires of the soul."

"But Soul is no simple human. He is a fearful demon god."

"Yes but he still has the same soul. Which means some part of him is still human and always will be and besides... he's half a demon."

"So you're saying Soul needs to find his happiness in order to contain his madness which will also give him the strength to control his demon side and obtain complete control over his powers?"

Kami nodded at me.

"Whats his happiness?"

"What do you think?"

"...You are so intelligent yet why are you so silent?" I asked.

Kami smirked. "...Thats the reason I'm silent."

Kami then walked away.

"Things are going to get interesting.. I wonder how it will all play out."

Ok so I'm sorry this was late I got held back because of Labor Day... But anyways sorry for the short chapter and quite a confusing one at that. Its not as eventful as the first chapter of the first story, I'll admit that. But the whole story is going to pick up by the fourth or third chapter I promise, its gonna get crazy and ya"ll are gonna be like what?!

But this was really confusing so I will give you a summary..

Soul is back! But without a certain someone in his life *cough cough* Maka. He is finding it harder to keep going which is causing him to give in to madness and allowing his demon side to dominate his mind and actions, leaving him completely helpless. Poor Soul. Yeah thats why he killed that man. Now! As you all see I threw Maka's mom in there because I thought why the hell not?! But she works for the council now and is still extremely powerful and yes does still love Maka! But she is visiting Death City to seek help from Lord Death and his expert students including Soul because a prophecy has revealed that there will be an awakening of a great evil and someone stronger than that will stand against it and defeat it just as the world is on the break of extinction. The council is wanting to keep the prophacy a secret not wanting to reveal it jsut yet. But Kami has other plans! Kami now has reasons to believe that, this 'massiah' is now Soul due to his background and suddenly new title 'Demon God' So she is in Death City for that. A lot of shit is gonna go down. There will be romance of course. Many Tears and a lot of WTF moments. So Please bear with me with this story. I promise. It will be amazing. It will only get better from here.

Please tell me what you think of the plot. I am willing to add more things or change some things depending on what ya'll want. So please tell me if I should keep going or change it up!
