Kid didn't know when he fell asleep but he was awoken by Mira Nygus, the main nurse at DWMA, and she seemed a little excited.
"Morning Ms. Nygus." Kid told her
"Morning Kid, the girl wanted me to fetch you." Mira told him
Kid nodded before following her to the back of the infirmary, the girl was awake, and her eyes lit up slightly when she saw Kid. He pulled the only chair in the up to the side of her bed, but the medicine cabinet was slightly bothering him though he pushed that to the side as he focused on the girl.
"You okay?" The girl asked him
"Yeah, but I should be the one asking you that, or at least if you need anything." Kid replied
"Well, really, I'm used to being batter and bruised." She replied
"You shouldn't be used to it, miss." Kid replied
"Katrina Jade, though you can just call me Jade if you want." Jade replied
"Okay Jade, who was that guy, and more importantly who are you?" Kid asked her
"First, could you please help me sit up?" Jade asked him
Kid gently helped Jade sit up and then sat back into the chair.
"Where should I start?" Jade asked Kid
"Start with why that guy was chasing you." Kid replied
"That's complicated still, to do that I would have to explain who and what I am." Jade replied
"It's okay I've got time." Kid told her as Maka and Soul came into the room
Maka and Soul were both carrying a bouquet of flowers that they place on the foot of her bed.
"How's it going?" Maka asked Jade
"Good my abdomen is feeling better at least a little bit." Jade replied "What are your guy's names?"
"I'm Maka Albarn, a death scythe miester." Maka replied
"I'm Soul Evans, and your name is?" Soul replied
"I'm Katrina Jade, but you can just call me Jade." Jade replied
Maka and Soul both nodded, but Maka noticed that Jade had a hidden sadness in her eyes.
"Soul and Kid, could you guys just give me and Jade a moment?" Maka asked them
Kid and Soul left quietly but quickly, and Maka took up the seat that Kid had been sitting in a moment ago. She pulled it to where she was sitting right next to Jade, and now she could tell the pain in her body language and ever more in her eyes.
"What happened to you before now?" Maka asked her
"Let's just say where I was kept I was treated kindly, I was just an object, so that how my misters viewed me and when I didn't perform to what they wanted me to, they nearly beat me to death." Jade replied quietly
Maka gently touched her shoulder and watched as Jade tensed up just by her gesture.
"Why did they this to you, who were you before this happened to you?" Maka asked her
"My family clan had a special gene that lets us survive a lot of punishment, but we able to reach an advance level of soul wavelengths letting us go into a advanced rank past soul resonance. I was even more special seeing that I am the only Demon Weapon to be born into the clan ever." Jade told her "The thing that made everyone fear was my soul perception ability and my soul itself."
"Could I take a peek at your soul?" Maka asked her
"Okay, but I'm warning you it's not a pretty sight." Jade told her
Maka took Jade's hand gently before closing her eyes, soon she could see a soul in a distance, and as she got closer she saw that the soul was cracking in several places. She gently took the soul in her hands and held in close to her chest as she closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again she was standing in the middle of the intersection of five hallways, as she looked down the hallways Maka noticed Jade walking down the one to her right, and she quickly jogged after her. She kept slightly behind Jade as she followed her through a few rooms until Jade stopped and turned to face Maka. Maka put her hand over her mouth as she took in how badly bruised she was. Jade's right eye was swollen, her nose was broken, and her lip was split in several places.
"Please don't come any closer, you'll just get hurt… everyone just get hurts." Jade told her before wrapping her arms around herself.
Maka took a few steps closer before speaking. "Jade, I want to help you, whoever did this to your soul I'll make them pay, but you have to let me."
Jade threw her hands outwards and Maka was launched backwards by an invisible force. She landed heavily on her back and the air left her lungs, but she got back up. She started towards Jade again and felt the force tear at her skin and clothes, but she pushed down into her feet to keep her ground. When she got near Jade who had recently dropped her hands, and they collapsed into each other. Jade pressed her face into Maka shoulder and started to cry, Maka let her, and soon they were looking each other eye to eye. Then she found herself back in the infirmary with Jade's hand in hers and Jade had her eyes close.
"You okay Jade?" Maka asked her
"Yeah, you are the first person to ever fight against my soul to get to me even though you got hurt in the process, why?" Jade asked her
"You're my friend, and I don't want any of my friends to be in pain." Maka replied
Jade sat up straight and swung her leg over the hospital bed, but when she stood up she collapsed to her knees. Maka rushed to her side and helped her sit onto the bed.
"You're not in a good condition to be walking around right now Jade." Maka told her
At the moment Kid and Soul came back into the room with a couple bags of food, but Maka pushed them back out.
"Do you at least want to get dressed?" Maka asked Jade
"Yeah, that would be nice, but I just can't still in here there are just too many bad memories." Jade told her
Maka nodded before she looked around for Jade's clothes and she found them on top of a cabinet, she grabbed them, and then she shielded Jade from anyone's view while she changed. Soon Soul knocked on the door and when Maka opened the door he had a wheelchair with them, and Maka helped Jade into it. As Soul wheeled Jade towards the exit of the infirmary Black Star came out of now where and grabbed Jade by the collar and yanked her up.
"So you're the one who took down a behemoth with one shot, I didn't believe it, I am stronger than you I've actually transcended the gods." Black Star gloated
To Maka's surprise Jade's arm shot and she grabbed Black Star's face, and to her surprise Black Star went silent.
"Look I'm not in the mood kid, but if you want to fight I'm up for one." Jade replied as she forced herself to her feet. "Be ready to lose though."
Maka just shook her head as she, Soul, and Kid followed Jade and Black Star out to the front of DWMA. Jade was stark white from the exhaustion, but Maka had seen what she could even while being hurt and Black Star was stretching easily being cocky as usual. Then out of the blue the color returned to Jade body right before she disappeared, reappeared behind Black Star and placed her hand on the small of his back. She pushed up and Black Star was launched into the air, Maka heard Tsubaki gasp behind, but she hadn't noticed her when they were walking outside.
"Tsubaki, stay here he got himself into this." Maka told her
Black Star had landed on his feet a moment ago and dashed at Jade, but she easily dodged his punches and kicks. Jade slipped up slightly and Black Star foot connected with her wrist, but she just grabbed it and kicked him into his chin. They both stumbled backwards and Maka noticed that Jade's abdomen was bleeding again, but it didn't seem to be bothering her.
"You don't think I've been hurt by someone before?" Jade asked Black Star "I've been so close to death that it isn't funny, but I've gained the ability to copy or if I have a good relationship with the person I can gain it."
Suddenly Maka saw Jade's posture change from a combat posture to sporadic spinning and jumping.
"Soul, do you think the black blood while infect Jade?" Maka asked him
"She said she could only copy the ability unless she has a good relationship with the person." Soul replied
"She is an interesting person to watch." Stein told them
"Interesting in what way sir?" Maka asked him
"Everything about her is advanced past a normal miester." Stien replied
"She told me that was a weapon, the only one in her clan." Maka replied
"Interesting," Stein replied "and I have a feeling that she hasn't shown us any of her power yet."
Jade slammed her fist into Black Star's jaw and he flew into the wall of the DWMA, and Maka saw Kid slump down. Black Star launched himself at Jade and when his fist connected with her abdomen he stopped moving and fell straight down. Maka knew exactly what he had felt when his fist had connected, how it felt like punching lead, but suddenly a scythe blade sprouted out of Jade's arm. She swung her whole body forward in an arc using her momentum to spin herself around, and Black Star barely got out of the way as Jade slammed downwards. He stumbled backwards as his movements threw him off balance, when he fell Jade disappeared and reappeared with the blade on Black Star's throat. Then the blade disappeared and Jade pulled Black Star to his feet.
"I want to fight the kid Shinigami." Jade told them "I need someone more challenging."
"First, you need to get your abdomen stitched back up." Maka replied as she put her arm around Jade's waist
"I've had worse than this happen to me and the only reason I fainted with the behemoth was because of blood lose and exertion." Jade replied
"Please just get your abdomen stitched." Maka told her
"Fine, but afterwards I'm going to fight the kid." Jade replied
When Ms. Nygus got Jade stitched up again this time she wrapped her up in a good amount of bandages then Marie came over with Stein and Crona.
"So you're the girl that Stein has been telling me about." Marie told her "Why would they do this to you?"
"Maka can tell you, and you are?" Jade replied before directing her attention to Crona
"My name is Crona." He replied quickly
"Son of Medusa Gorgon, filled with black blood." Jade replied
"H-how did you know?" Crona asked her
"Heard 'bout you, and I know how you felt I'm still going through my nightmare." Jade replied while gently placing her hand on Crona's shoulder "Ms. Nygus keep the stitches and bandages out I'll be back, and kid your safe for now. Maka is there a gym around?"
"There's a clearing in the forest that's secluded." Maka replied
"Could you take me there by any chance?" Jade asked her "Alone."
Soon Jade and Maka left leaving everyone confused, but in the end Black Star and Soul burst out laughing.
