Chapter One Abnormal Activity
The three raced into the classroom. Their clothes clung to their bodies. Kid, Liz, and Patty hurried off to their seats. Sid who was reading out loud from a textbook ignored them and kept on reading.
They sat down. Patty laid her head down and quietly cried. Liz leaned the weight of her head on one hand trying hard to pay attention to the lesson, but her mind was on other things. She glanced over at Kid. His golden eyes were a shade darker and put his head down and stared into his hands.
This is wrong. Everything about this is wrong.
The boy's body laid on the cold, metal slab. His body was bare except for the white sheet that was laid upon his waist. His eyes were closed. His lips were a frown a long way from his large toothy grin.
Medusa watched his body with a quiet observation. His body was cleansed of the dirt and blood which showed multiple back and blue bruises. A cut was on his upper lip. The rest of his body was covered in the strange marks.
Her face showed that she was calm but deep within her heart she was leaping for joy. That annoying brat was finally dead. Not only was there that….
Her wish was starting to come true,
Her lips curled in a small, sadistic smile. Her smile faded when Death's face entered the mirror on the wall, and Spirit entered the room. The two watched silently as she continued the autopsy.
"It seems that he died from blood loss. There seems to be several broken ribs. He also suffered a skull fracture from the blow to the head. Then there's the marks. There are dozens of them all throughout his body. There also a few small ones across his abdomen. The narks look alot like…" Her voice trailed off.
"Stitches." Spirit whispered.
"That seems to be the case. Well he seems to have been dead for a couple hours. You said he was still warm when you found him?"
"Yes."
Death stared down at the him. This Meister. The one who wielded the chain scythe Tsubaki. Always so full of himself. Often goofing off and causing trouble. Making many of the teachers wanting to pull their hair out. He was always behind and stuck having to foen do remedial lessons. Yet.. he was the strongest meister that Death had ever known. He had so much strength and defeated many opponents on and off the battlefield. They only survivor of his clan, and the curse and the power that he had to carry with him. The boy who claimed he could surpass all of the gods. The star that should've risen. Had came crashing to the ground.
How will Tsubaki be able to handle this?
"Spirit."
"Yes Lord Death."
"Go check up on my son. I need to talk to Medusa alone."
"Alright." He turned around and left the room.
Meanwhile Kid, Liz, and Patty sat in the waiting room. Not a word was exchanged between them. When Spirit walked into the room. Kid abruptly stood up.
"So? What'd she say?"
"The autopsy is still in process. All we know is that he was definitely murdered." He put his hands in his pockets and leaned himself agistment the door.
Liz clamped a hand over her mouth trying hard to contain the bile that was rising. Patty sat staring quietly off into space.
"Well WHO DID IT! Who's the culprit!? We have to find the culprit! We need to bring my friend justice! I need to observe the autopsy. I need to find myself some answers!"
He was about to stormed past but Spirit raised an arm up to stop him.
"No one gets past. Theses orders are from death himself."
"WHAT!?" Kid's blood started to boil. "HOW DARE YOU! I'M A GRIM REAPER! IT IS MY DUTY TO BE IN THERE TO OBSERVE THE AUTOPSY! NOW LET ME THROUGH!"
Spirit pushed Kid back which caused him to go a few feet back. As Kid was stepping back he lost his footing and fell to the ground. Kid clenched his teeth as a sharp pain ran through his backside. Liz quickly rushed over to his side and started to help him up. Spirit stood over the two. His blue eyes held a cold gaze. A hand was on his hip.
"No. You. Don't. Your are not going to be a part of the investigation. This is way too personal for you."
Liz finally got Kid onto his feet. His head flew up. "Oh and it doesn't apply to you!" He clenched his fists. Gold eyes blazed with anger. He spun around and stormed off.
"KID WAIT!" Liz shouted as she took her sister by the arm and raced after him.
"Hey Kid!"
Kid stopped. "What is it now?" Trying hard to control his anger.
"Not a word. No one must know about this until we get this all figured this out."
Kid grinded his teeth and continued to storm off.
And now….
He had to act like nothing had ever happened. Like everything was normal. That nothing was out of the ordinary. That he had not seen the corpse of one of his best friends. Being forced to act like it was just another day. To lie about way he was late for class because he had to make sure everything in his house was symmetrical.
To act like nothing had happened.
He took a deep breath. He had to remain calm. Not only for his sake, but for Liz's and Patty's as well. He closed eyes contracting trying to remember everything who could possibly could about his friend's body.
One important detail was the scars. All the scars that were scattered all throughout his body. He noticed that the cuts were really small, yet deep. What he found strange was-
Could it? No! Think harder! He cursed under his breath, and pulled out a notebook from his bag. He flipped till he found a blank page. He grabbed a pen and began to write. Not caring about the neatness.
His friend was murdered, and suffered horribly. Not only that but those marks were asymmetrical. No human on this plant should have to endure such pain.
He didn't care how long! Or if he had to sacrifice everything he had he was going to get to the bottom of this.
"Man this is strange. Blackstar is always here for lunch." Soul stated as he and Maka as they carried their lunch trays to a nearby lunch table.
"Yeah you tell me. Then Tsubaki leaves in the middle of class and doesn't come back." Maka placed as she placed her tray down and took a seat. Sat across from her was Liz and Patty. Liz sat quietly and truled a piece of her chestnut hair around her finger while Patty stared blankly into her tray.
Soul leaned over. "Hey Maka." He whispered. "What's wrong with those two?"
"Not a clue." She whispered.
Maka leaned away from Soul, and flashed them both a smile.
"So guys what's up? Late cause of Kid again huh."
"Yeah whatever." Liz whispered while continuing to trul her hair.
Umm...Okay.. maybe I need to get answers another way. Maka took a breath and closed her eyes. Soul watched silently as was about to examine their souls.
Her eyes flared open. Her emerald eyes flashing blue then quickly disappearing. Their souls were pretty much the same expect that both of their soul wavelengths were off. Patty's soul had a blank expression as if it was trying really hard to figure something out. While Liz's seemed extremely crestfallen. It was frowning and it's eyes were droopy like her soul wanted nothing more then to close her eyes and never wake up.
Maka stopped her search. Completely taken aback by what she just saw. She stood up. Soul watched as she grabbed her tray and walked away. He went up after her. After they reached the trashcan he finally decided to speak.
"Maka what's the matter?"
"I'm fine. Soul. It's Liz and Patty that I'm worried about. their souls w-"
Maka was interrupted by a loud crash.
"Patty!" Liz cried out.
Patty stood in the middle of the cafeteria. Everyone stopped what they were doing. The room became eerily silent. Her head hung low. Glass shards everywhere. Scattered around like a spiders web. Her grip on one of the shard tightened drawing blood. Students watched in horror as blood dripped onto the floor.
Maka's eyes went wide. Soul's jaw dropped. The students continued to watch in astonishment as their blond haired classmate pulled the shard over her wrist.
"Oh my god someone stop her!" Kim exclaimed.
Students screamed and gasped as Patty's grip tightened some more causing more blood to ooze onto the floor. Liz watched in frozen terror as her only family positioned the shard over the throbbing vein on her wrist.
Maka wanted to move, but her feet were frozen. Her body shook with fear. Soul was still in shock, and was still trying to process what was happening. One thing he knew for sure was that this was definitely not cool.
Patty released a bloodcurdling scream, and threw her hand down but someone caught it/ By the last person anyone in the DWMA would ever expect.
Corna.
"Stop it! I don't know how to deal with public suicide!" He screamed. His violet eyes bouncing all over the place.
"Corna! DO NOT LET HER GO!" Soul shouted. Now finally out of his stupor. He started sprinted towards them.
"Let! Me! GO!" Patty shrieked as she thrashed around.
Corna tried to keep a hold of his grip, but his thin arms were too much for Patty's anger and strength. She kicked Crona causing him to fly across the room. His scream echoing across the room as he past Soul and slammed into the wall with a thud.
"Owwww that hurt." He mumbled.
Soul quickly glanced over at Corna.
"I'm fine-AAAHHHHHHH." He screamed as his back exploded and black blood splattered everywhere. Staining the floors, walls, and ceiling. Also covering a poor girl who got caught in the crossfire. Her uniform soaked with it. She let out a bloodcurdling scream. The blood oozed and clumped together to from Ragnarok or mini Ragnarok to be more honest.
"Get up you idiot!" He shrieked. "Come on you're not pathetic enough to let some blonde bimbo beat you up!"
"But...b-but she's scary, and she's got a weapon. You know I don't know how to deal with that." He whimpered. Violet lids flashing everywhere.
"Damnnit Crona!" Ragnarok started pulling Crona's hair and poking his face.
Soul ignored them and kept sprinting towards Patty who was already back to repositioning the screamed again and threw her down but the glass shattered into a million pieces.
Soul came to an halt. His crimson eyes wide and jaw dropped.
For there stood Kid. With only one pistol in his hand. His golden eyes ablaze with anger. The pistol's barrel still smoking. Patty spun around her pupils dilated and teeth clenched. Kid tossed the pistol into the air and Liz turned back into her original, human from. She was about to rush over but Kid threw an arm up.
"What are you doing?!" She demanded.
"Liz let me handle this." He slowly walked over to Patty.
She stared into his eyes. Suddenly the anger in her eyes disappeared and was replaced with a flood of tears.
"I can't take it anymore! I DON'T WANT TO ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED! HE DIED! HE'S DEAD! AND WE HAVE TO ACT LIKE IT'S OK! I don't WANNA!" She sobbed. Tears spilling down her cheeks.
Everyone watched in silence as Kid took Patty into his arms. She collapsed into him and sobbed into his shoulders covering his suit with her snot and tears. Kid brushed some of her hair back behind her and leaned into her ear.
"I promise you, Patty. He will not get away with this. That man who did this to our friend. He will pay for this. That man will suffer more pain than he ever thought he could ever endure. I promise you, Patty. He will suffer."
The shock of the students wavered when several teachers rushed into the room.
"Oh my god!" Marie shrieked. Clamping a hand over her mouth and staring with wide eyes and all the blood.
Azusa quickly surveyed the situation and adjusted her glasses. "Sid."
The knife meister who was once human but was now a zombie glanced over. "Yeah?"
"Get Patty to the disfromary to be checked out, now."
"Right." Then he rushed over towards Patty.
"Marie, you escort the rest of the students to the assembly room immediately."
What the hell are the Death Scythes doing here!? Maka thought.
"Um hey lady."
Azusa turned her head. "Yes. Soul...Eater was it?"
"Um well don't forget to grab Kid." He pointed over at a passed out Kid. His face covered entirely in blood while Liz was kneeled over trying to revive him.
Azusa readjusted her thin framed glasses. "Already taken care off. No Mr Soul Eater head off to the assembly room it's really important."
He put his hands in his pockets and sighed. "Already whatever you say lady." Then he headed off to the assembly room."
All the students of the DWMA gathered around. Several clusters were scattered throughout the entire room and several teachers were trying to get them all seated. The room filled with hushed whispers about Patty's breakdown. Word already getting to the other students that were not present in the lunch room to witness it.
"I can't believe what just happened!"
"That was crazy!"
"I really hope Patty's okay."
Soul did the best he could to ignore the whispers and rumors that were going around about his friend/teammate. But it only wanted him to clobber episbelly when some asshole he came up the idea that Patty came out of the looney bin. He took a deep breath and continued to search for Maka. It was hard for him considering he just five minutes earlier witnessed his friend try to commit suicide.
He stopped looking and sighed. This day is turning out to not be cool at all.
Unaware he was going he bumped straight into a girl causing her books to crash onto the floor.
Soul rushed down to help her, but stopped when he noticed her eyes.
They were a soft gold that was hidden beneath light pink bangs and as the rest of it flared at her neck.
For a moment he thought it was Crona who put in gold contacts or it was the lighting playing tricks on him, but then he noticed her bust. Which were pretty large. Only slightly smaller than Blair's. He was thanking god that he didn't get nosebleeds anymore. Probably because he was so used to almost getting molested by Blair that he just one day stopped getting them. Well this only stopped recently and being around attractive girls was still awkward for him.
Unaware that he was still staring caused the girl to blush heavily. She took her books and pulled them up to her chest.
Soul shook his head and got up.
"Umm sorry can I help you?" She whispered.
"Oh no! Sorry! I just wanted to say sorry for slamming into earlier." Soul attempted a small as she got herself up. Dude you are being so uncool in front of this chick!
"Oh it's fine." She flashed him a warm smile.
There was a shout. The girl quickly glanced over at a group of girls who were calling for her to come over.
"I better go."
"By the way m-"
But she was already gone.
"The nam-Damn." He groaned
"Hey Soul!"
He glanced over and noticed Maka and Crona sitting in the front row. He quickly went over and plumped next to them.
"So Maka I've got a question for ya. Who's that pink haired chick over there?" He pointed at the girl who was laughing along with her friends. "I've never seen her before. What is she new or something?"
"Yes she's new here, Soul. She only transferred here a few weeks ago."
"Well then why haven't noticed her till today?"
"Because you are a self-absorbed idiot. No. It's because her body is very frail and she's often not here. To be honest this is the first time I've seen her."
"Huh well then."
Corna sat silently watching the girl. Who was continuing to laugh along with her friends. His heart began to race.
What's she doing here!? Why? I don't want to have to deal with this!
Their eyes meet.
Crona's eyes widened in terror and his blood froze. The girl's lips curled into a twisted smile.
So we meet again.
Crona's teeth began to chatter. Maka noticed and put a reassuring hand over his.
"You okay?"
The girl's smile quickly faded when Lord Death appeared on the mirror that was on the wall.
The room went silent.
"My dear fellow students. Today we all we'll moran for the loss of our dearly departed friend Blackstar."
"WHAT!" Maka cried out. Her heart pounding and her vision became blurry.
Soul and Crona sat in quiet astonishment.
"He was found this morning. It was a horrific tragedy that fell upon him. He will be missed, and a memorial will be held tomorrow morning. I hope you all will come and wish your fellow meister a final goodbye."
Death finished speaking. The room remained silent.
Suddenly chaos ensued.
"NO WAY HE CAN'T BE!"
"YOU KIDDING! BLACKSTAR!? OUR BLACKSTAR!?"
"HOW COULD HE! He kicked my ass just the other day! he couldn't just of-"
Students started to shout louder. Then one student punched another and the room exploded in complete violence. Students wailed on each other and shouts and screams echoed across the room. Teachers along with Azusa and Marie were trying their best to bring back the peace, but to no avail.
"No...he can't be…" Maka's voice trailed off.
"MAKA WATCH OUT!"
Soul quickly pulled her out of the way just as a chair flew right past her.
"It's just he can't...be.."
He took her by the shoulders. "Maka! Slap out of it!" He began to shake her.
Suddenly he was knocked to the ground.
"Soul!"
He grimaced as blood ran down his temple. "Damn" Maka rushed over and pulled him up.
Crona meanwhile was standing in the middle of all the chaos.
He started to shake. "I've never been in a riot before. I-I-I don't know how to deal with this." Then he felt a hard tap on his shoulder. He spun around and screamed when he was face to face with the girl.
She put a pale finger to his trembling lips.
"She wants to see you."
She took by his arm and pulled him out of the room.
Meanwhile Maka was trying to get Soul to safety.
"Damn that hurt. Who the hell uses a chair and besides everyone might as well start using their weapon partners."
"Don't say that." She scolded.
The two managed to sneak off to a corner away from the violent crowd. She leaned him up against the wall, and sprinted off.
What the hell is she doing!? Trying to get herself killed!
She ran off back into the crowd, and bumped right into Kim.
"K-"
She was interrupted by her face making contact with Kim's fist. She pulled back and put a hand to her throbbing cheek.
"What the hell?! Kim!"
Kim smirked. "You know I never really liked you."
"What is that supposed to mean!"
Kim put her hand up to her hip. "Please! Miss Goody tootsies. Getting whatever she wanted because he daddy is a Death Scythe." Kim removed her hand and grabbed her skirt and did a courtesy. "Oh my Daddy is a Death Scythe! I'm the best student in Death Meister Academy. Well that ends today."
Maka clenched her teeth. "You BITCH!" Then she lunged causing Kim's emerald eyes to go wide. Then the girls crushed onto the ground.
"Lord Death! LORD DEATH!" Azusa cried out as she laid low on the podium stairs. Her dark pantsuit in tatters and a crack in her glasses.
Maire was meanwhile was trying to pull male students off each other.
"Everyone stop this! This isn't what Blackstar would've wanted! Now please stop all this senseless fighting!"
Suddenly a football flew out of nowhere and whacked her in the face. She flew back and the two boy went back to wailing on each other. Marie put her hands over her nose and her brown eye began to water.
"OW! My nose!"
"LORD DEATH! We need to do something! This is getting out of hand!"
"EVERYONE STOP THIS AT ONCE!"
Everybody stopped fighting and looked up at the mirror. The mask that usually showed his cheerful expression was replaced with an anger one.
The students put their fists and weapons down. Oz threw Maka off of his beloved Kim. She huffed and dusted her skirt then stormed off. Leaving him with a disappointed look on his face. Maka slowly got up and went over and stood by Soul.
"Now everyone I know that this is is a very sudden tragedy and it is very hard on all of you. Blackstar has affected us all in many different ways. But we need to handle this in an orderly manner. Classes have been canceled for the rest of the day and if you need to let out some steam or have questions feel free to talk to any of the teachers. Now Miss Marie and Azusa will escort you out."
Slowly students strolled out of the room being ushered out by the two female teachers. Maka carried Soul and was escorting him out of the room. A sudden realization hit her.
"Hey where's Crona?"
