Chapter two. When I started this, it was originally going to be a one-shot or a two-shot, now look at it. A series of one-shots. But this chapter isn't a one-shot, this chapter is so good that I'm going to write a lot of chapters based on this.

Please leave a comment.

Enjoy!

Key:

"Madness will free you from your fears." – Spoken aloud words

'Why do we need fear?' – Thoughts

"It'll be ok. When it does come, we'll be there. Besides, there's a lot more to people than evil thoughts and bad deeds. There's bravery. Everybody has that."

With that being said, Maka Albarn jumped off of the pillar she was standing on to join her friends.

When she finally reached her friends, they heard someone groan.

"Wh-where am I?"

The group of seven* turned to where they heard the voice coming from.

They saw a piece of rubble moving a little.

After a few seconds of someone trying, and failing, to move the piece of rubble off, something no one in the group expected to happen happened.

The piece of rubble was engulfed in what looked like blue electricity.

The blue electricity seemed to cause the piece of rubble to move, it spread out and became thinner until there was nothing left covering the person who caused it.

If you looked closely, you could see some lines surrounding the area** where the piece of rubble once was.

The person who was underneath the piece of rubble sat up, allowing the group that just fought, and defeated Asura, stared at the male figure with a mix of apprehension and surprise. Except Blackstar, he was just staring in surprise.

The person was wearing clothes similar to Asura's before he consumed Arachne's soul. He was wearing a red jacket on top of all black clothes. Unlike Asura, he was wearing boots, a shirt, and white gloves.

He was also different appearance wise.

He has blond hair, while Asura has black hair with white stripes resembling eyes.

He has gold eyes, like Kid, while Asura has red eyes with white ovals surrounding the pupil, making his eyes look like Kishin eyes.

His hair is long and is in a braid, while Asura's isn't that long and is not in a braid.

He…he was currently staring at them with narrowed eyes.

Maka sweat dropped as she realized that no one had said anything in about a minute.

Maka stepped forward, ignoring Soul's obvious discomfort***.

Maka said, "I'm Maka Albarn, one star scythe meister. This," she pointed to Soul, "is my weapon, Soul Eater."

The mystery person commented, "Cool name. Fitting for a weapon."

Soul nodded to show that he heard.

Maka continued, "And you are?"

The golden-eyed teen snorted, "We live in dangerous times, don't you know you don't say your name to possible enemies? Tell me, whom do you work for? Death or Mabaa****?"

The atmosphere grew a bit tenser at his words. Soul, Blackstar, and Kid narrowed their eyes. Tsubaki, Liz, and Patty tensed in case they would have to become weapons.

Maka answered the question in a guarded voice, "We serve lord Death, and you?"

The teen relaxed, "Good, I don't like fighting kids. I work for Death too."

Kid spoke up, "Then you won't mind if we go to see him."

"Of course not."

With that being said, the teen turned stood up, and stretched. He turned around to get out of the hole he's in by using the rubble that resembles steps right next to him.

By doing so, he gave them a view of the back of his jacket.

The back of the jacket had a cross with small wings right above it with what looked like a snake crawling up it and turning around at the top.

But that wasn't what captured their attention, that honor was reserved for the Kishin eyes.

There was one on each side of the mysterious symbol and one right above it.

The two on the sides were slanted towards the one above the strange symbol.

Soul transformed in a scythe and landed in Maka's hands, Tsubaki transformed into her enchanted sword and landed in Blackstar's hands, and Liz and Patty transformed into their pistol forms and landed in Kid's hands.

Maka and Blackstar charged while Kid aimed. The mystery person blocked Blackstar's attack with his right hand and kicked Soul away with his left leg.

The odd thing was that both Soul and Tsubaki cried out in pain when they struck his limbs.

Maka went to retrieve her fallen partner.

Before Blackstar could react, the person who was wearing the symbol of the Kishin knocked his partner out of his hands.

The golden-haired teen punched Blackstar in the face.

But before he could get far, he heard, "Death cannon."

The teen clapped and put his hands on the floor, just in time to stop most of the attack, but a little got through.

Kid could hear the mystery person cry out in a mixture of pain and surprise as he was knocked towards Death City.

Death stood up, gathering everyone's attention.

Spirit said, "Lord Death? Is everything alright?"

Death answered, "I'm not sure. I just felt a soul wavelength that I haven't felt in eight hundred years."

Stein asked, "Oh? Who's?"

Death said only one word, "Vajra."

So? What did you think? Good ending? I'm dedicating this chapter to DragoonDraconian and ThatOneFangirlWithNoLife. They both encouraged me to write this. And now you can see why I'm going to write a lot of chapters based on this one.

I hope you comment, comments lead to faster updates.

Thanks and have a good day.

*Go ahead and count them. Do you think Kid would freak out?

**You know when Ed uses alchemy and we can see those lines? That's what this is.

***If you want to see what he looks like, look at the episode he met Giriko.

****The leader of the witches.
