Souls as One: Part One (Soul Eater) Rise of the Youngest Witch
Chapter 1: New Beginnings.
Death City…
Everyone in Death City has been busy at work to repair the damages done to all of Death City mainly the school its best known for the DWMA. For everyone at the DWMA had recently been through the hardest battle of their lives which includes all of the teachers and students able to join the battle even the one star miesters and weapons. All the citizens are doing their best to help the DWMA rebuild the city for even though they were not part of the battle the city its self was thanks to Lord Death with the help of the Magic Tool Brew. Yes the city its self was part of the battle for it did literally get up and walk to the battle field so that Lord Death could get the Kishin into his death room to battle him for Asura joined forces with the witch Arachne and her Organization of Arachnophobia who were spreading his madness throughout the world aiming to destroy the DWMA. Thanks to everyone's efforts they had gotten rid of Arachne, Asura, Arachne's Organization of Arachnophobia and even Arachne's younger sister Medusa who was responsible of reviving Asura in the first place.
However there was one main one star meister and weapon team that helped out the most for all of these goals which consists of Maka Albarn, Soul "Eater" Evans, Black Star, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, Elizabeth "Liz" Thompson, Patricia "Patty" Thompson, and last but not least Death the Kid. Each one accomplished something important to the battle against Arachnophobia.
Black Star and Tsubaki went up front to the home base of Arachnophobia known as Baba Yaga's Castle ware they had there last battle against Mifune an powerful human samurai who was forced into working with Arachnophobia using the young witch he protects named Angela as a bargaining chip. When the battle was over Black Star and Tsubaki were the victors of the battle and convinced him into joining the DWMA bringing Angela along with him gaining a new ally in the process.
Death the Kid better known as Kid went with his twin pistols Liz and Patti to get a large Key which was the Magic Tool needed to activate Brew. After some struggle against the robotic clowns (Yes I did say clowns) they brought the tool back to Lord Death so that he could use it to use Brew and join the battle along with the rest of Death City. He also witnessed the battle between his father Lord Death and the Kishin Asura learning more about his father's motives and battle style before he got seriously injured protecting Kid and the others with him.
Maka and Soul however went against there original orders and went to find Medusa who had given Lord Death Brew and the info he needed to find Asura and Arachnophobia as a means to pin them against each other and to gain protection from being hunted down by anyone part of the DWMA. Also heading her way was the Death Scythe Marie Mjölnir and Medusa's own son Crona. Working together they killed off the witch and got back the three star meister Franken Stine.
Last but not least it was this meister and weapon team that ultimately killed the Kishin ending the madness that was being spread throughout the world. Even with all these main enemy's down it was no time for anyone to be slacking off even with the rebuilding going on all meisters and weapons practiced there soul residence teams and this team was no exception. In fact for the past few days it has been a necessary practice for they now have a new team member there close friend Crona Gorgon and his black blood weapon partner that resides inside him named Ragnarok.
Crona was still getting use to his life at the DWMA and didn't understand why he was accepted into the team after everything he did. Taking human souls, almost turning into a Kishin and even betraying there trust when given a second chance by putting one of Medusa's snakes in Marie's coffee which fasted the madness in professor Stine. However he also helped fight against Medusa when he bravely went with Marie to get Stine back knowing it meant he had to fight his own mother. In the end thanks to this action he was re-accepted into the DWMA and moved in with Maka, Soul and there roommate Blair the Cat. He has been however having trouble combining his soul to the others in the team because of these doubts during practice earning a few punches from Ragnarok and today was no exception.
They went out to the field that Maka and the others first succeeded in combining their souls the first time (after a little fight between Maka and Black Star) and were once again having trouble.
Black Star one of the most impatient of the group was getting frustrated "Man what are we doing wrong! This is taking forever!" Black Star yelled in frustration making Crona cringe a little.
"I'm sorry it's my fault…I'm the one that keeps messing up" Crona admitted with his head down.
Right then Ragnarok popped out and grabbed him by the head giving him a good punch "then do it right this time idiot!" screamed Ragnarok.
At this Maka in Crona's defense said "Hey that's not true Crona…you're doing just fine its just that you're not use to working in a team like this it takes time to get this right isn't that right Black Star?" she asked looking at Black Star with a smile but he knew she would give him a Maka chop if he said the wrong thing.
To this Black Star responded with a smile "Well yeah I didn't say it was Crona's fault I'm just frustrated that's all we'll get it right next time".
Kid then spoke up "Listen Crona as Maka said stuff like this takes time in fact we had trouble like this the first time and ended up being the last team to get it right but we did get it right none the less".
Soul chuckled "Yeah right after Maka had a little fit with Black Star" at this the others laughed a little as Maka blushed.
"Oh shut up Soul! That's in the past okay come on let's all try again!" Maka said with confidence.
At this everyone got in place and concentrated. Crona was trying his best…but he just couldn't understand why everyone was being so nice to him after everything that happened…most of all that day when they accepted him back with open arms.
Flash Back…
It was on the day where the battle took place with his mother and aunt dead along with the Kishin and everyone was cheering for the downfall of Arachnophobia. Meanwhile in the death room was Lord Death and his main Death Scythe Spirit Albarn Maka's father who both got seriously injured after fighting the Kishin with Blair being a nurse with the other two girls from Chupa Cabra's named Risa and Arisa who all decided to help the DWMA anyway they could. Also in there was three star Meisters Sid and Stine along with Weapon Mira Nygus helping out Blair, Risa and Arisa, the Death Scythes Marie and Azusa Yumi, and even the holly (yet extremely annoying) sword Excalibur. Crona had watched with them as they waited for the shield to go down he had faith that Maka and the others would win but he was worried none the less so when it was over he was relieved.
It was shortly after this that the meister and weapon team walked in with Kid and Maka running up front for Kid was worried about his father and Maka about Crona and her father after Kid told her he had gotten seriously injured.
Maka first ran over to her father "Papa! Are you okay?". Even though she was still mad at him for cheating on her mother often and pretended to not like him at all she did indeed love her father and gets worried for him.
Spirit smiled and gave her a warm yet tight hug crying in the processes "Oh I'm just fine Maka I'm just so happy you're alright! I was so worried about you!". Normally Maka would do whatever she could to get out of these kinds of hugs but this time she hugged back smiling just glad that he is okay.
Kid in the meantime ran over to his own father Lord Death "Father! Are you alright?". Kid blamed himself for what had happened for he couldn't help him fight and had been suspicious of him for a long time for no reason he felt as he shouldn't be Lord Deaths son.
Death however smiled under his mask and gave him an one arm hug since half of his body was gone for the time being "Don't worry about it Kid I'm alright it'll take more than that to kill me" he said with his goofy happy voice. At this Kid was relieved that his father was still his normal self.
It was then that Maka turned her attention to Crona and ran over to him with Soul shortly behind her and hugged him happy to see him awake "Oh Crona you're okay…I was so scared I thought we lost you…" she said with tears falling down her face relieved that he didn't die.
Crona on the other hand was startled by Maka's affection he never dealt with it before but slowly hugged back "Oh I'm okay…really".
At this Soul patted his shoulder who was also relieved "She's not the only one who got scared and worried ya know…don't be so reckless next time we don't want to lose one of our best friends" he said with a smile making Maka smile as well knowing Soul cares.
The others over hearing the conversation walked over to them "What are you guys talking about over here did something happen?" Black Star asked.
"Did you get hurt Crona?" asked Tsubaki worried.
Crona was surprised they all came over to check to see what was going on. It was Stine who answered there questions however "When we were fighting Medusa she used one of her arrows to stab Maka but Crona pushed her out of the way getting stabbed instead losing a lot of blood" he said as matter of fact tone.
At this all of the one star meisters and weapons except for Maka and Soul went "WHAT?!" making Crona jump.
"Oh my god are you okay Crona does it hurt any ware?" Tsubaki asked worried for her friend's injury.
"I can't believe Medusa would sink that low" Liz said enraged.
"Yeah! She is no mother no mother at all!" Patty commented as Black Star cracked his knuckles while saying "That witch is lucky she died by Maka and Soul otherwise I would make her pay".
Crona was shocked that they all cared for him like this that's when Maka remembered… Ragnarok! "What about Ragnarok? He didn't die from this…did he?" Maka asked worried remembering watching Ragnarok melt into the black blood.
As an answer to her question Ragnarok popped out "Yeah I'm alive no thanks to you! You almost got me killed!" Ragnarok yelled at her and to his and Crona's surprise she along with the others were relived. "Thank god…I thought you died when I saw you melt into the Black Blood like that…" Maka said with Kid commenting "After all your our friend too Ragnarok".
At this Ragnarok was surprised he didn't think they cared about him as well but instead of letting that show he denied it "Whatever it's not like I wanted to be friends with you since I'm stuck in Crona here" at this the others just laughed with Soul saying "Whatever you say Ragnarok".
Crona still shock stricken watched as they asked everyone else like Stine if they were all okay. It was then that Death cleared his throat "I'm sorry to interrupt but there is a matter we need to discuss" at these words Crona felt a sinking feeling "There is the matter with Marie and Crona…Marie can simply re apply for her job but Crona is a bit more difficult".
At this Maka protested "But Lord Death Crona apologized and helped Marie get Professor Stine back!".
"I know that Maka but the public are still very angry at him for what he did and since hes expelled and Medusa is dead he doesn't really have a place to go to which is what we need to figure out. I would love to take him back into the DWMA but I need a ligament reason too. Crona going against Medusa will most defiantly help but we need a little extra push to make sure we can take Crona back" Lord Death admitted with a sigh. He did feel bad for the child it wasn't all his fault that all of this happened which is why he took him into the DWMA in the first place.
Stine then once again spoke up "If I may I would like to say something about the situation". Everyone turned their attention to Stine including Crona who was nervous about what he had to say. "If you can't take Crona back then I would like to resign from my teaching job at the DWMA" this shocked everyone in the room.
"What are you talking about Stine? The Students need you here!" Marie said in a panic.
"Come on Stine isn't that a bit over board?" Spirit asked.
"Not at all Spirit it's only fair that if Crona can't come back into the DWMA then the same goes for me as well" Stine answered.
To this Lord Death became curious and asked "And what exactly do you mean by that Stine?".
Stine smoked a bit more of his cigarette before answering "Well from how I see it I have also betrayed the DWMA by joining sides with Medusa much like Crona did. Regardless of being under the madness or not I still willingly went to Medusa and almost killed Marie, Maka, Soul and Crona. It's true that the madness had a hold of me and that Medusa used that to manipulate me to join her side but I still did none the less" he blow out a puff of smoke before continuing. "It's from my understanding that Crona has been in that situation for all his life with abuse. Medusa being his own mother makes it hard for him too say no to her mainly since she has controlled him all his life. I'm sure that she used this to her advantage coming back to Crona without our knowing forcing him to do what he did otherwise she would take him out of the DWMA and probably hurt him in some way shape or form…in short he was in the same spot I was. Being manipulated into willingly joining her through his weakness much like she did with me and my madness. If the city and school want me back so bad then they should also accept Crona. I have no ill feelings towards him considering the life hes had so everyone else shouldn't have ill feelings towards him as well. They can either accept both Crona and I or we both leave the DWMA permanently".
Everyone was shocked but no one was shocked more than Crona. He had no idea Stine would defend him like this let alone threaten to leave the DWMA if he doesn't get accepted. Marie then smiled "The same goes for me too Lord Death. I won't re-apply for my teaching job unless Crona gets taken back in as a student. After all…Crona and other kids like him is the reason why I like teaching here…it wouldn't feel right if he was gone and besides…he won my trust back when helping me save Stine…". It was at this point she started to have tears down her face "I got so worried when Crona got injured…I thought it was all my fault…and that the last thing I said to him is that I didn't trust him not until we got Stine back…so this…is my way of making it up to him" she said with a smile and tears.
Lord Death was touched and happy that the two of them would give up their jobs for Crona he knew that this was the extra push needed to convince everyone else "Very well then Crona once the School re-opens you will attend classes as a full time student". At this everyone in the room cheered in their own little ways the meister and weapon team all hugged Crona and adults in the room all smiled happy for them and of course the word "Fool" was heard throughout the room.
End of Flash back…
As Crona thought about that day how they all accepted him and defended him he realized that Maka was waving a hand in front of his face after their failed attempt to resonate together. Snapping out of it he asked "W-what? Is something wrong?"
A concerned Maka then answered "I was about to ask you that are you alright Crona? You were spacing out when we tried to do Soul Resonance".
Crona blushed at that statement and lowered his head "I'm sorry…" at this the others also walked over to him.
"It's okay were not mad at you we're just worried" said Tsubaki.
"Yeah is something bothering you?" asked Soul.
"Oh well it's just…I…" Crona was struggling to find the right words.
"You what Crona?" asked Maka.
"Well…I don't understand…why you guys accepted me even after I betrayed you guys…I don't even understand why Marie and Stine defended me when it was them I hurt the most…I'm just not sure if I should be here…" Crona admitted with a couple tears down his face. At this Maka got out her book and did a very light Maka chop it didn't hurt but it was enough to get Crona's attention.
She then smiled "Don't be silly Crona like Stine said that day it was Medusa that was pulling the strings. She manipulated you into doing it otherwise you never would have done it in the first place".
Liz then also joined in "You're our friend Crona even if Maka is the one closest to you out of all of us that doesn't mean that we don't care about you or Ragnarok for that matter".
Patty then commented with a smile "Yeah its just as big sis says you mean a lot to us Crona we want you here with us".
"And we also want you to be part of our team you're one of us" said Kid with a kind smile.
Crona was shocked as everyone smiled at him it was all he needed. He may not understand everything about their accepting him but knowing they all cared about him was good enough. Crona then smiled and nodded saying "Okay…" Maka smiled back and said "Why don't we try one more time I have a feeling it will work this time".
With this everyone got into position with Soul, Tsubaki, Liz, Patty and Ragnarok in weapon from and all of them let their soul wavelength out. First Black Star reached his soul over to Kid then in turn Kid and Black Star reached out to Maka then finally they all reached over to Crona…and this time it worked. Everyone was in perfect sink and are now all a team. Crona has now officially become part of the groups team and he couldn't be any happier with this done they all called it a day. Maka was happy that Crona was now part of their team and that he was living with her, Soul and Blair however deep down inside she felt like something was missing that sometime soon she and her friends would be on an adventure that would change them forever. Little did she know her friends felt the same way…along with a particular little girl and her friends…
Hinamizawa…
In a quiet village lived a young girl named Rika Furude. However this young girl was no ordinary girl for she had the mind of a young adult the same goes for her "cousin" Hanyu Furude who had horns and powers of a God. The both of them were with all their friends at school playing a Club game and once again Keiichi Maebara lost and was suffering from his punishment game which was being dressed up in a bunny costume and having to run from Rena Ryūgū a couple times because of her "cute mode". Rika however was sitting on the bench just outside of school thinking about everything they accomplished. They had lived past the Watanagashi Festival with no one dying, defeated the organization that was trying to kill her and none of her friends were under the threat of losing themselves to the Hinamizawa Syndrome which she was most grateful for. However she couldn't help but feel that something was missing like her own soul was calling out to someone. She didn't understand it for she got the happy ending she had been waiting years for but she couldn't help it.
Just then Hanyu walked over and sat next to her "Au au, auauau…what's the matter Rika?" she asked a bit worried for her closest friend.
Rika sighed "I don't know whats wrong with me Hanyu I have everything I asked for but a part of me feels like something is missing…but I can't figure out what it is…" she admitted in her adult like voice.
With this Hanyu put her hand on her shoulder "Don't worry Rika…it will be alright I'm sure this feeling you feel will go away…if it makes you feel better…I feel the same way". To this Rika was surprised "You do?" she asked.
Hanyu smiled and said "Yeah I can't place what it is either but for now you and I are happy with all the friends we have here no one will get hurt again and everything is in perfect harmony with each other it's a new beginning Rika we should make the most of it".
Rika knew she was right but she just couldn't shake off the feeling. But as for now she would do as Hanyu said make the most of this new beginning they fought so hard for. Mion walked over to them "You two okay?" she asked.
To this Rika returned to her child like demeanor and smiled "Mii we're okay Nipa". To this Mion smiled "Well alright come on we all better get going home". With this said Mion went with her twin sister Shion back home as Keiichi left with Rena and Rika and Hanyu left with Satoko back to their home. Little did anyone know in Hinamizawa or Death City these groups of kids would change their worlds forever.
