Into Maka's Mind

The day seemed normal in Death City. There were no akishins running amok, so the group of eight friends had gone to play basketball, as they did when nothing interesting is happening. Maka Albarn sat at the graffiti-covered bench, reading a book she was really interested in. Crona was sitting beside her, watching the game. It was Black star, Patty, and Liz on one team, Soul, Kid, and Tsubaki on the other. The game was 3 to 2 in Soul's favor, and Black star was furious. He started ranting about how his teammates sucked and he couldn't play with all his strength. Soul snickered and shook off the comment as he barreled down the court and scored. "Cool guys like me don't have to listen to petty rants." He said under his breath. Maka heard his comment and smiled, always the cool guy she thought. Suddenly, Maka looked up from her book and stared awestruck into space. She sensed an evil soul. And not a normal akishin soul, but a familiar mix-matched one. Part wolf, part witch, and part akishin. She shuddered; she knew who the soul belonged to.

"Soul, transform" Maka said. Soul looked at her with utter confusion and said

"There isn't an akishin around? Is there?" Maka shook her head and replied

"It's Free"

Everyone turned their head to Maka, and the weapons transformed into their forms. Soul being a scythe, Tsubaki a chain scythe, and Liz and Patty twin death pistols. Black star and Kid picked up their weapons and held them in a fighting stance. Ragnarok also transformed into his demon sword form, and Crona took him in his hand. Maka grabbed hold of Soul's handle as the image of Free appeared from a distance. He was in wolf form, which was odd considering it was broad daylight. He must've gotten stronger Maka thought.

"Of course I'd find you guys here. I look everywhere else except where Eruka tells me to" Free muttered. "I'll make you pay for what you did to lady Medusa!" Crona froze at the sound of late mother's name. Maka looked over at the terrified Crona and faced Free again, ready to take on any attack. "I've gotten better. I don't need to attack you physically" Free stood a distance from the weapon meisters and began to chant "Wolf wolves, wolf wolves, wolf wolves, wolf wolf wolf!" Suddenly everyone began to glow. The meisters and their weapons accept for Maka shrunk and the beam of light flew into Maka's head. When the glowing ended, Maka found herself alone and weaponless. She began to panic as Free muttered "Huh, you guys were supposed to shrink and then I'd eat you, guess I screwed that one up"

"WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS!?" Maka screamed. She was about to punch Free, but he grabbed her wrist and said

"They're in your head" Free said "That's probably bad enough, I'm out of here" Free said as he dashed off.

Maka stared as Free went off, then sat down and looked at her hands. "In my head, what does that mean?"
