Bellatrix had begun to pant as she looked at her opponent. Sweat slipped down the side of her face. He grinned, his eyes twinkling with darkness and fear. The girl stood and grasped her trusted weapon within her hands.
"Bells..." Kenta said gently.
Bellatrix looked at her blade, Kenta's reflection smiled at her.
"We can defeat him."
She nodded, then she straightened her stance.
Laughing she said, "I will show you the true power of the Grim Reaper."
"Soul Residence!" They two said in unison.
The air around them began to pick up, Bellatrixs smiled. The man shrunk back a tad, through his eyes he could see her soul, and that of her weapon, both in harmony. the girls soul was powerful, and large, he had only come across one other like it, and that was Death himself. He watched as the blade began to transform. Within seconds the blade had turned into a scythe. It was long and slender, the blade was deadly and her challenger knew it.
"As was expected from Deaths daughter." The man snarled.
The man had known better then to charge blindly into battle, but he was out of options. He took his stance, and charged. He raised his metal chain and whipped it towards her. Just before it could hit her she said, "Coffin shield!" Five enormous coffins appeared and blocked the metal chain's path. They hit the shields with a loud bang!
"You will have to try better than that, Ouï Monsieur?"
Bellatrix spun towards her challenger as she swung the scythe, the weapon sliced through the man, making him dissolve. Bellatrix landed gracefully on the ground. Then Kenta transformed back into his human form, and grabbed the soul, quickly devouring it. Kenta was a tall man, he stood at the height of six foot five. Naturally towering over everyone, including his own mister, Bellatrix.
"Well done Bells." He beamed.
The girl nodded, "Thank-you Kenta." She was secretly joyful of his approval.
-The Academy-
There was a hustle and bustle about in the school. Misters and weapons alike all gathered near the front entrance of the Academy.
Kidd sighed, "Liz, Patti!"
The Thompson sisters made there way to the front of the crowd where Kidd was standing. "Yes Kidd?" They answered in unison.
"What is this hustle and bustle all about?" He gestured to the group of students around him.
Liz spoke up first, "I believe there is a new student joining the Academy today."
"It surprises me that you didn't know." Maka stated.
Kidd ignored Maka's statement, "So who is the new student?"
Maka replied, "Her name is Bellatrix, but She is well known as Death's Trix."
Kidd's jaw dropped, "Bellatrix you say?"
Liz frowned when she noticed he had gone pale, "What is it Kidd? Do you know her or something?"
In the distance they could see a girl and a tall man walking by her side approaching the school. Everyone gasped, and turned looking at Kidd, then back at the girl. There was a resemblance amongst the two.
The girl had long beautiful black hair that came down to her waist, her piercing violet eyes searched the crowd, as if examining everyone. She frowned, "Well this was unexpected."
The man next to her laughed, "I guess you were more popular than we had originally thought Bells."
"Word does travel fast.." She muttered.
Kidd followed by Liz and Patti, began to stroll over to where the new student stood. The girls eyes lit up when she saw Kidd approach.
"Big Brother!" She squealed and ran to meet him, embracing him in a giant hug.
The crowd of students gasped, "Big Brother?!"
Kidd scowled, and pried his sisters arms off of him. "What are you doing here, Bellatrix?" He asked, annoyance evident in his voice.
The girl frowned, "I just came to visit." Then she batted her eye lashes, "Is that so wrong?"
Kidd rolled his eyes, "Stop it with the act sis, we both know who you really are."
Bellatrix's face went blank, "Heh. It was worth a shot." Patti, and Liz glanced at each other, a worried expression on their faces.
Kidd folded his arms across his chest, "What is the real reason you are here, Bellatrix?" He said as he searched her eyes.
The young girl laughed, then put a hand on her hip. "That is for me to know, and you to find out..." She said as a mischievous grin slipped onto her lips.
Kidd frowned, "Alright. Let's make a deal, if I beat you then you have to tell me what you know. But if I lose you have to do my chores for a whole year."
Fire danced in her eyes as she replied, "What a stupid request, but...it's a deal."
Kidd help up his finger, "Don't go crying to Asura if you get hurt." Her eyes lit up with excitement. "Oh don't worry, I won't have to brother dear." She lifted her hand into the air, "Kenta weapon form!" The man behind her nodded, and instantly transformed. The weapon landed in her hand, everyone gasped at how large it was. The scythe was taller than it's mister, it was much deadlier than it appeared. Of course it wouldn't kill the target, unless they, the mister and weapon allowed it.
"Liz, Patti!" Kidd called.
"On it!" The girls answered.
Kidd held out both hands just as the two pistols landed in his grasp. Then he took his stance. Bellatrix did likewise. The air between the two siblings was intense.
"Something is very strange about this situation..." Maka muttered more to herself than anyone else.
Maka put a finger to her lip, 'This will not end well for you Kidd..' She thought.
Soul looked at her with a hint of confusion, "What do you mean Maka?" He asked after a few minutes. She silently scanned their souls.
Maka shook her head, "I'm not sure what it is...but somethings wrong with this...her soul...there's something going on with her soul.."
Soul frowned, and tried to understand the situation, but without Maka he wouldn't have been able to sense the abnormal situation in the first place. He sighed in defeat and continued to watch the fight.
Kidd attacked first, he raised his pistols and pointed it at Bellatrix. The bullets flew through the air, but stopped short just before they could hit her. She laughed, and disappeared.
"You have to try better than that dear brother." She laughed. Bellatrix knew that he was trying to go easy on her, he wasn't even using all of his power.
Kidd spun around, trying to search for his opponent. There was nothing that could help him identify her whereabouts.
Moments later she reappeared in front of Kidd.
"Stop playing with him, Bells." Kenta scolded.
Bellatrix sighed, "Fine."
"Oh come on big brother! Your stronger than this, come get me!" She grinned. Kidd's eyes grew dark in response. Air swirled around him, then he lifted into the air. Bellatrix did the same. Her violet eyes danced with fire once again. Maka frowned as she scanned Bellatrix's soul once more, it was puzzling her that she couldn't find the answer as to why this situation was bizarre.
Then she caught sight of it, there was a slight shimmer to her soul. Then it hit her, she looked back a Kidd, "Kidd! Kidd! Kidd!" She screamed, trying to get his attention.
He couldn't hear her. Maka wanted to hit him on the side of his head, she realized why this situation was so unnatural. The girl in front of Kidd was just a hologram of the real Bellatrix, a decoy! But it was too late, the real Bellatrix appeared behind Kidd. The blade of her scythe held to his throat. "So stupid, didn't daddy teach you better? You always fall for that trick..." She laughed.
Kidd laughed humorously, "So this is how you want to end it?"
"Oh no brother...it's just the beginning." Then she sliced the scythe through his chest.
