Chapter 2: All Fall Down

I rolled out of the keshins path, my blade slashing at his arm, the arm vanishing into a bit of a Shadow loop. I took note of this, my breath huffing from having dodged this beast for the past 5 minutes. Where were Devin and Alyssa? They were right behind me, now where are they? I didn't have time to ponder this, as the beast rushed at me, as I rolled again, this time slashing at its face. The cut was stitched back together through its own skin. "Ew." I muttered, as I formulated a plan.

I checked behind me, making sure there was a water source nearby. A tiny puddle, but it will have to do. The best lunged faster at me than expected but still, I ducked down, then lifted my hand as he flew over the puddle and encaged him in a prison of water, before sending him straight into the puddle, his body stuck on the other side of a puddle. "Now you see everything from a puddle's perspective." I muttered, walking away from the fight as a light coming from the tunnel vanished and Alyssa and Devin popped out.

"There you guys are! I was about to go looking for you, but you guys showed up. Where's Death's troops?" I asked, looking behind them.

"Right here!" Alyssa yelled, pointing at a person on her left.

"Have you found my Maka yet!" of course our damned backup was Spirit and Dr. Stein.

"Not yet." I whispered, as I ran down the path again, noticing something that I couldn't get to before with the monster in my path.

I noticed a town looing area before and I was quite ready to just move on with my life from this whole event. I sighed, as I reached the front gates, my breath huffing and puffing as I rushed towards the gates, ready for something new to happen, some new form of evidence to show that maybe the others were still alive.

As I ran in, however, I noticed something. The townspeople kepting loking at me, as if they recognized me somehow. Maybe, they had seen Maka and the others before.

"Excuse me?" I asked, walking by someone nearby.

"Y-yes, young man?" They seemed almost….. Weary of me, afraid.

"Have you seen any of these people?" I pulled up a photo of the three in one still frame.

"N-n-no, I haven't." The Old Woman was shivering now, backing away in fear as I moved closer.

"You're hiding something. What are you so afraid of? They're just missing kids!" I yelled, causing other strangers to look at me now, as I huffed with anger flowing out of my veins.

"I-I can't tell you, he'll-" She was cut off as a blade ran through her, causing me to jump back a bit.

I saw the person that had stabbed her, a helmet over their face. "You coward!" I yelled, jumping forward and slashing at the knight's mid-section, his body jumping back a bit.

He wasn't fast enough, however and it hit him, a small cut appearing on his chest. He growled a bit, as blood slowly dripped down from his chest.

"Y-you…. I'll fucking kill you!" He yelled, lunging at me as I slashed him out of my way, his face planting onto the ground immediately.

He roared in rage as he jumped up again.

"Nobody messes with The Knight of The blackened sky, Gwain! I serve only the lord of darkness, our KING!" He roared, jumping at me again.

I give this guy some credit. He was pretty fast. Unfortunately for him, I was even faster. I activated zero time, my breath stopping as I whirled around him, smacking him on the back of the head as he fell forward again, a cry of pain coming from his mouth. I was tired of this shit for the day, so I walked off, leaving him broken and wounded, his pride degraded and his public face ruined. I heard something from behind me, however, that made me shiver to my bones.

"You will never, ever understand the two kings and the queen, they wield weapons beyond our compression, just like the one you currently have. You will die to them, so help-" His voice was cut off by Alyssa's sniper shot and then, after a few moments, a loud explosion came from the castle above us, a knight in black armor coming down from the castle, smashing right next to me.

I rolled back a little bit, but he smashed into me straight away, blood already dribbling down my chin. Only time that's ever happened was with….. Blackstar.

"I won't let you take away these memories I have. Not by someone like you." I growled, clutching my side as I brought up my blade again, him bringing up his black blade.

I ran forward, tears springing in my eyes as he slashed at me, my blocking it and another heart jab. This was Blackstar's and mine's pattern. Rage grew inside me, As I rushed forward, smashing the blade on his, as I heard a bit of a scream from his blade. I didn't take note, rage filling me as I smashed again and again, the black king growing angrier as he finally punched me in the face, sending me flying back a ways. I heard a sniper shot go off and then, the Black King fell back, a hole on the top of his helmet. "Target…. Down….." Alyssa huffed and I realized she must've been holding her breath the entire fight.

I walked over to the body, as sigh on my body as I picked up the sword… and white washed over my eyes as I fell to the ground and into the blade's soul.

I awoke in a dark, almost pitch black void world. I looked around. "Hello? HELLO!?" I yelled, my voice echoing inside this chamber as I watched the world go white and yellow.

"Dammit, I want to know who's here!" I yelled, trying to see past the rays of colors. Nothing came to me, as the lights dissipated.

"North, you can't be in here for too long. He's gone insane, trying to get back to you and everyone else." The voice was unmistakable. "Tsubaki? Holy shit." It was all I could manage, as she shushed me rather quickly.

"You need to stop him somehow. I can't work with him for much longer or I will go insane next. As it is, I've lost part of my sanity already." She groaned, clutching her head.

"Who are you talking about?" I asked, although a feeling in my gut telling me I already knew.

"Blackstar…"
