A Soul Eater Fan Fiction
By Wendell Holloway
Chapter 1: The beginning of the beast inside
This story takes place after the extinction of the kishin Asura with the whole gang at ease with Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Patty and Liz while Crona is still in recovery. They all get an assignment from Lord Death to find this mysterious boy who happens to destroy a whole nation singlehandedly with no trace of a single body left behind. It's not only shocking to them that this person isn't a kishin or working for witches but that he is just as old as they are and the orders are to go and find him and arrest him but if to kill if necessary. His location of him was last seen in the northern part of New York where he had last rested in his travels and his objectives and motives are unknown but the same thought goes through the gang's heads that he obliterated a whole nation by himself. They all shortly arrived in New York continuing their search for this mysterious boy and when they least expected it he was actually walking by them and they all made eye contact and the first thing they noticed was he looked completely harmless but orders are orders but for the young misters and weapons they have much to learn.
Maka announced that they were from the DWMA and he was order for arrest and all the boy could do was to stare in total confusion and say he has no clue what their talking about and he means no harm. But without skipping a heartbeat they all attack in every direction possible but the one thing Maka realizes that he's not attacking because he can't but he is choosing not to and all he is doing is just screaming to stop over and over and then something changes. The ground beneath their feet starts to quiver and pebbles and rocks are starting to come from the ground and into the air as the boy open his eyes and screams.
"STOOOP!"
Then like a nuclear bomb exploded a horrific red aura violently surrounds him in a furry like no other as it's immense power incinerates the rocks in a 20 ft. radius of the boy. He continues to erupt in a blind rage while Maka witnessing his colossal soul she drops to her knees with total contempt of not weakness but of fear.
Not of aware of the situation Black Star strikes with his soul wavelength attack but in an instant he stops the attack with a strike with his two hands in a spear like formation separating his hands and flips his hands to make contact with Black Stars chest sending him miles in midair crashing through everything in his path of boulders and trees. Continuing his wrath he dodges every shot Kid fires at him and Kid starts to resonate his soul with Patty and Liz and he points his death cannons straight at him at point blank range and fires and the beam of flashing light engulfs him and with unsatisfying results. He still stands there but not only alive but not a single scratch was found on his body and the boy kicks him to the ground sending him 5 ft. beneath Earth's crust defeated and nearly dead. He slowly walks to Maka with blood lust in his eyes while she still can't get her grip of how much she doesn't stand a chance when Soul tries to convince her to get up and to fight but before he could finish the boy starts to strike when Soul jumps in front of Maka to protect her sending them beaming through the air and crashing right into a mountain side making them unconscious and the last thing Maka saw was him sprinting right towards her then everything goes black.
Spinning and turning through pain and sweat Tsubaki emits from her slumber and in bandages and in a bed when she realizes so is everyone else but they are all awake and well. Muttered with confusion unable to speak and Kid explains how the boy tended to their wounds and found shelter in a cave and how terribly sorry he was and explained how he meant no harm and he becomes like that mode in moments of intense stress and anger and the rumors were completely true. Of how not only the nation was destroyed by him but his own family was killed by him when thieves threaten their lives and then he just snapped and his name is Zerom. Tsubaki isn't the only who is incredibly shocked of how intensely kind and harmless Zerom was and that they were all sent to exile him and turned out to be a huge turning point for them and might even made a new friend.
As they started to get along and sharing stories and names they still had the issue of Zerom being arrested so they decided to think of a plan were Zerom will be with them but at the same time explaining to Lord Death about is story and they all head out of the cave but Zerom pulled Tsubaki aside and said
"Once again I'm so sorry but the reason why I pulled you aside was that I need you to promise me and that all my life I've been ridiculed by that accident and my curse of power and I need you to promise me that no matter what that it won't happen again."
Zerom tolled Tsubaki how he never had a single friend since then and now it feels that they are his only friends and Tsubaki smiles.
"I promise" she says.
They head off with the rest of the group. After a long journey back to the academy Zerom started to actually feel like his first home again. They arrived at the academy and rushed to explained to Lord Death how everything was a misunderstanding but when they got to Lord Deaths room they saw him and many of his companions like Sid and Stein and many more of his helpers were surrounding them and with ominous feeling of threat was all focused on Zerom and not only did he knew that but so did everybody else did to. In a second without hesitation Tsubaki explains how Zerom was absolutely harmless and how it was all an accident and before she could finish explaining Lord Death response with two words
"I know"
And with that the helpers unleashed a cluster of chains towards Zerom and before anybody could react Stein had sowed everybody's feet to the floor while the chains continue to wrap around and tightening around Zerom's body as he screams and cries for his friends to help but it's useless.
Tears start to run down Zerom's face with such depression and betrayal while even tears start's to appear from Tsubaki eyes as she knows how much he wanted to be treated normal and to have friends and now both chances are forever gone as all they can do is just stand there and watch the eminent capture of Zerom's trust and loyalty crushed but then these giant metal contraptions shoots spears into both Zerom's shoulders incasing him in a torrent of electricity as his screams pierce through Tsubaki ears and her heart. Blood spurting and tears streaming Zerom's life gets slowly shredded into nothingness as Tsubaki stares hopelessly at Zerom's pain but before he was dragged to the prison cells his last words were
"YOU PORMISED!" Zerom squealed
Until the sound of Zerom's cry's started to fade in the distance when Tsubaki drops to her knees with her hands on her face with the tears of depression continue to stream down her sorrow face while her friends comfort her. Furious with anger Tsubaki questions Lord Deaths actions and his answer was that he holds too much power and with that power needs to controlled and contained but with no sense of understanding Tsubaki sprints away from Death and heads towards the cells and is stopped by Sid and he says that he can't be trusted and he's a menace to society and Tsubaki pushes him out of the way and screams
"You're wrong!"
Tsubaki heads down the stairs still thinking that there might be a small chance that Zerom will forgive her but if he doesn't she completely understands.
