SOMA


'We've come so far' Maka stood rigid. 'I can't let him down.' Emerald eyes fixed on the opponent before her.

"Maka!" Soul on edge as his meister gripped him tightly. Both carefully watching for an opening; any sign that they could win the upper hand.

This fight had been dragging on for so long, this keishin egg was just too difficult to get to with all the lava running down the volcano.

"Disgusting monster," Maka was barely able to breath with such heavy fumes filling the area. "HOW DARE YOU ENGULF ALL OF POMPEII IN LAVA!" Maka made leaps from rock to rock, getting closer and closer to the keishin.

"Watch it Maka, he's coming at you!" Soul braced himself for another hot attack against his metal form. "Dodge right."

Maka obeyed and dodged just in time to avoid the keishin's projectile lava attack; turning and landing a magnificent attack on the creatures back sending it down the mountain.

"Ha you fool! Thanks for the ride to my banquet." The keishin called as he tumbled down the flaming Volcano.

"YOU IDIOT HOW COULD YOU SEND HIM FLYING INTO THE TOWN!" The Death Scythe's eye clearly showing his mood.

"CAN IT SOUL, I GOT IT!" Maka jumped on her weapon and flew down chasing after the rolling ball of death. "I WON'T LET HIM EAT ALL THE SOULS OF POMPEII!"

"I can taste them now," The drooling pre keishin was almost to his goal. "Come to me my delicious power!" The flaming pre keishin's tongue rolling out in anticipation.

"MAKA NOW!" Maka took her que and swiftly knocked the creatures off its path and stood as a last barrier against the mass of souls and the prekeishin."Make this quick."

Maka stood waiting for a perfect opening to deliver a final swift attack. Now at the perfect age of 17 she stood tall and fit; no longer the flat chested child that made the youngest death scythe at the DWMA. Her signature ash blond pigtails now hung under her ears and curled down her generous cleavage. Steadying herself against her opponent she held her partner close and ready to strike.

"Come now my girl, I'll give you the honor of being the soul that ushers me to my full potential." The monster hardened a chunk of lava sending it flying directly at the meister.

"Ha such a lame attack." Without a second though she sliced right through the rock proving a fatal error as molten liquid spilled in every direction.

"MAKA!" Maka was saved as the lava fell on Soul's blade blinding him with extreme pain that resonated through the soul link between the pair. Too hot for Maka to hold she let go of her scythe as her gloves began to burn away. Panting and screaming in pain the meister processed her horrible mistake.

"HAHAHAHA, Did the DWMA TEACH YOU NOTHING BRAT?"

"Wha. . . what happened Maka?" Soul was barely hanging on pain still pulsing from the lava threatening to melt the death scythe. Maka fell to her knees blowing on her raw hands.

"That bastard only cooled the outside to make it solid, of course it would still be liquid inside." The meister once again gripped her weapon ignoring the throbbing pain. "Sorry Soul, can you hang on just a bit more?"

Flashing a signature toothy grin, the epic cool guy reassured his meister. "Hey, I would be a cool death scythe if I would let something so small slow me down."

"Hmph. . . right," Maka stood once again charging at the horrible beast before them giving it her all this time not letting the pre keishin a chance to think of an attack. Slowly backing the creature away from the town giving the team down below to collect the unfortunate souls that needed to rest in peace before they became a meal for the bubbling red mess before them.

"Your attempts will be futile girl, those souls will be mine and you will never be able to stop my progress." The pre keishin once again molded a ball of lava and threw it at the pair who only used it as a step to propel themselves closer slicing off a limb which melted as well hardening to become part of the volcano.

"We got you now fiend." Maka swiftly turned trying to slice yet another limb off but the pre keishin dodged and using his remaining hand sent the duo flying across the cooling lava stream.

"Quit playing around idiot! End this now." Maka slowly rose up wiping traces of blood from her mouth. Narrowly she avoided yet another lava tidal wave and blocked a couple of molten balls as the Pre keishin once again made his way to the village down below. "I like the occasional tan but not today."

The meister twitched as the rod once again became hot with each contact Soul had with the lava.

"Sorry Soul, how about I make this interesting for you." Maka's cleaver eyes surveyed the area looking for a plan.

"Go on. . ." Soul scowled as he too searched for the answer to putting an end to their target.

There beneath the rubble they spotted wells, three that were still spouting water. Maka sprinted running past the enemy and destroying the wells causing water to pool in every direction leading towards the ocean. There before the water she waited for the creature.

"Listen well Soul Eater, if my plans works and we make it back safe. . ." Maka gave a sly grin and looked straight at her partner's reflection on the sickle. "I promise, I'll fuck your brains out."

The death scythe was now speechless but grinned a shark-like grin from ear to ear. "Tch. . . coolest partner ever."

"LET'S GO SOUL RESONANCE!"

"LET'S GO SOUL RESONANCE!"

The pre keishin now only feet away from the weapon and meister charged at full speed scoffing at the pair's last attempt at a victory.

"YOU WILL NOT STOP BE PUNY GIRL!"

"DEAMON HUNTER!" Maka charged right back slicing right down the middle of the enemy but before the body even hit the grown the meister turned and swiftly struck again creating now four smaller pieces of pre keishin. The creatures screams still rang through the area as the small pieces landed in the water that gushed from the wells; cold water cooling the keishin greatly stopping the enemy as it's skin hardened. Maka stood back and watched her Death Scythe partner turn back to his human form and walked nonchalantly to the rock pieces and slamming his foot down with great force on each boulder smashing them to rubble. Still grinning with great pride the messy white haired eighteen year old turned back to his meister. With her hands on her hips she watched him with a coy look. He was a whole head taller than her slim and fit bodied; his crimson eyes glistening with playful mischief.

"Guess we're making it home safe." His smile couldn't be wider.

"Guess so." Maka returned his steady gaze as he closed the space between them wrapping his toned arms around her tiny form.

"Best girlfriend ever." Soul took Maka's lips in a hungry kiss tasting her, enjoying the softness of her lips wrestling for dominance over the woman that wields him earning muffled moans from her. He broke the kiss and smirked. "Let's hurry and gather up the souls so we can get back to Death City."

"Right."
