Maka's Determination
"Stupid! Soul is so stupid!" Maka Albarn screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran down the dimly lit streets of Death city. She spotted an old pop can and kicked it as hard as she could, sending the crumpled piece of aluminum flying across the asphalt. Maka's light brown twin tails flew out behind her as she ran, her fist still stinging from when she had punched her partner Soul in the face not even five minutes ago. "How could he think that I am so weak! That dumbass! I don't need to be protected!" Maka crumpled down to the side of the curb and buried her head in her hands. She could hold her own in a fight, she thought. Just like any great scythe meister. Just like her mother.
Things are crazy these days
Time's slippin' away
I've got the world ahead of me
I don't wanna miss a thing
Maka heard a low, muffled growl through her hands and as she slowly sat up on the curb she realized it was coming from behind her. Okay, she told herself. Breathe.
'Cuz there's so much to do
And I'm gonna get through
Now I'm ready, yeah I'm ready
Ready to take it on
A gigantic fist came down and smashed the curb along with part of the street to tiny bits, just as Maka jumped out of the line of impact. She scrambled to her feet and sized up the ten foot tall monstrosity in front of her. He resembled Professor Stien with oversized muscles and a large mouth full of razor sharp shark teeth. Drool dripped out of his mouth as he looked at her with his bloodshot eyes. Maka stared daggers into those eyes and braced herself for the monster's attack.
I'm ready for you
Are you ready for me
I'm invincible, and I can do anything
I'm ready to go
Are you ready to see
Don't you know that
It's impossible to stop me
The beast charged, trying to grab Maka with it's hulk-like hands. But Maka was prepared with a swift baseball slide between its large legs. She jumped up behind it and launched herself off of the broken curb and onto the back of the creature, which was thrashing about wildly. Maka gripped the shoulder blades of the monster with all of her strength and swung her leg around to make her combat boot connect with the gigantic, drooling head.
I hope you agree, life impossibly
Sometimes you gotta do
What you gotta do
A meaty hand came up and gripped Maka's ankle, then flung her so hard that her back had collided with the outside wall of the building across the street. As she slid down the rough brick wall, Maka thought to herself, If Soul were here we would've already finished this thing off. But him not being here is only a minor setback. Anytime that you fall
Just give me a call
And I'll be ready, yeah I'm ready
Ready to take it on
I'll be there whenever you need me
I won't be a burden. I won't hold you back. And I will show you that I can protect you too. Brushing off the pain, Maka stood up, grabbed a long iron pipe from the overturned trash can next to her, and smiled. I'm ready for you
Are you ready for me
I'm invincible, and I can do anything
I'm ready to go
Are you ready to see
Don't you know that
It's impossible to stop me
The monster charged at her again with a blood curdling roar and Maka used the pipe as leverage to jump up over the huge fist as it slammed into the wall. I'll never let you down
I'm always ready
The other fist came flying at her and she launched herself over it just like she did the first. Landing on the monster's upper arm, she ran up to its shoulder and swung the pipe across its face. Making the beast reel back. I can, I am, everything that
I need to be
I am, I can, nothing gonna stop me
I can, I am, everything that
I need to be
I am, I can, nothing's gonna
Nothing's gonna stop me
Maka looked up to one of the store signs hanging above her and saw that it was attached to a poll with a filed point at its tip, making it look more like a spear. This distraction was rewarded with one of the fists curling roughly around her and her being thrown into the wall again, this time from a closer distance. I'm ready for you
Are you ready for me
I'm invincible, and I can do anything
I'm ready to go
Are you ready to see
Don't you know that
It's impossible to stop me
Maka gripped the notches in between the bricks with her fingertips and she listened as her iron pipe fell to the ground with a loud clanging noise. Her head was pounding from the impact with the wall and her sweat was making her hands slip. The sign poll was closer to her now and she reached up to grab it as her supporting hand slipped. She fell a couple feet before gripping the wall again and found that the monster was trying to knock her off of the wall by punching it. As the wall shook, her hands slipped more and she realized she would only have one chance to get to her weapon. Her fingernails had lifted up from scratching the wall and they were bleeding, making her almost fall again. Maka braced her feet against the wall and half jumped, half clawed her way up to the poll, snapping it off as she reached it.
I'm ready for you
Are you ready for me
I'm invincible, and I can do anything
I'm ready to go
Are you ready to see
Don't you know that
It's impossible to stop me
Turning around and kicking off of the wall, Maka brought the pointed end of the poll over her head and forced it down into the top of the monster's head. The beast cried out in pain before crumbling to the ground in a bloody heap and Maka followed suit. She leaned back against the store wall and looked back up the street where she had come. And there he stood, with his snow white hair, blood red eyes and the bruise on his cheek that she had given him not even twenty minutes ago. I am, I can, I'm ready for you
I can, I am, are you ready for me
I am, I can, I'm ready for you
I'm invincible and I'm ready
"Soul," she breathed.
