I do not own Soul Eater or any other character (hahaha get the punn?) I know that Kim, Jacqueline, Pot of Thunder, Pot of Fire, Ox, Kilik, and Harvar are also part of Spartoi but just bear with me a little for the story pleasee :D
"Alright." Soul snaps his gun's magazine into place. "It's playtime."
Chapter 2: Three Sides
After hearing the signal from Soul, Kid cleared his throat and looked back at the woman.
"Excuse me for interrupting your story, but do you happen to have any idea where Stein is now? He invited me over because I had been longing to see him after the incident with my sister and I might have to leave soon." Kid asked in a professional manner. Though it was most likely unnecessary he also created another alibi, in case she ever asked how someone who supposedly couldn't afford a regular doctor was at a highclass party.
She looked at him slightly amazed he had interrupted her, but the way he had carried his statement almost made her feel like it was of upmost importance, and she gladly stopped her story. "Oh yes of course don't worry about interrupting!" She quickly assured him. "And I believe I saw Stein talking with another young man at the entrance, I bet he's still there." She had a sweet smile on her face.
"Thank you." Kid was about to leave but then he remembered something. "Oh, I never caught your name."
"It's Lady Medusa, but you can just call me Medusa."
"Thank you, Medusa." He added her name then quickly disappeared into the crowds of people. He couldn't risk having anyone know his name, and his OCD told him not to use any other name because the letters might not have symmetry like the letters in KID do.
"Maka, i'm looking for Stein. You hacked into the security system cameras right?" He whispered into the microphone.
"Of course I did, who do you think I am?" She replied proudly. "He's at the entrance. He's wearing a hat with a giant screw on it you can't miss it."
A few rustling noises from Kid smoothly pushing his way through the crowd were heard. "Alright I got him."
"I'M SO FUCKING BORED SOMETHING HAPPEN ALREADY!" Black Star's loud screams of boredom nearly burned out everyone's eardrums.
"Black Star! Someone might hear us!" Tsubaki persuaded him.
"Good I hope someone hears us! Maybe they'll come barging in and I can finally kick some-!"
*BANG*
"What the hell was that?" Liz asked in a whisper but the panic in her voice was easily heard.
White noise.
"Get down!" Soul screamed. His voice sounded panicked and there was a lot of clicking noises coming from his side.
"What's going on you two?" Kid had walked into an open area by the wall, eyes still watching Stein.
"We're being attacked!" Maka screamed. Her and Soul were behind-the-scenes in a van parked away from the mansion where all the electronics and information were such as videos and computer devices.
"Shit!" Everyone heard Soul's voice in the background. There were nearby gunshots, it sounded like a showdown.
"Attacked? By who?" Kid questioned.
"How the hell am I supposed to know? They've got some freaking guns that's for sure."
"Maka! Hand me that knife over there!" Soul screamed.
"What are you going to do with-?" More white noise and then nothing. It was completely silent. Maka and Soul's communication devices had been destroyed and the rest of the team no longer had contact with either of them.
"Damnit." Kid said under his breath. They know we're here. What's worse is whoevers attacking is destroying our main source of information, without that we're going to have to wing it for everything. He thought. Before his face began to show frustration, he quickly recomposed himself. He had to keep blending in no matter what. He glared at Stein. What's this bastard thinking, he's standing right in front of me and his cronies are outside shooting guns? His eyes widened. Wait, I can't here the gunfire anymore. Is it over? What happened? But, I don't remember hearing any gunfire in the first place.
Stein was speaking to another guest, when three white stripes barely passed his view, but it stood out to him as clear as daylight. He cleared his throat. "I'm sorry but I just saw someone who is looking for me." He excused himself and walked towards the owner of those stripes.
"Hello!"
His sudden greeting shocked Kid and made him jump slightly, but he still held up his composure.
"Hello." He stuck his hand out so he could shake it. "You're Dr. Stein, if i'm not mistaken."
"Dr. Stein?" "You found him?" Tsubaki and Liz said in unison.
"You are not mistaken." Stein took Kid's hand and shook it, smiling at him in a goofy yet intimidating way. "Sorry, it seems I must have forgotten your name?"
"Kid." In this case he thought it okay to tell him his name, for a man of Stein's rank he would definitely be suspicious if he dodged the question or refused to answer.
"Oh, Kid, I don't believe we've met before." His goofy smile turned into a smile that looked as if madness had dawned on it. "Which is quite strange seeing as you're at my house."
Kid went stiff for a while, but took this as an opportunity, so unlike his negative self. During the whole conversation it seemed as if everyone else in the room had vanished, and it was only them two in their little intense bubble, both suspicious of each other. I have to be careful, my father told me this one's different, and not in a good way. Then again, this is also a reason Kid was chosen for that certain job, any other person would have created a long and intense silence, but his quick thinking came to be useful once again.
"I was sent here to be a representative."
"Representative? You're a teenager." His goofy smile had returned.
"Actually, I meant to say I was sent out here to the party. There are others who wish to talk to you in a room down the hall." During his whole entire charades, Kid kept his tone on a professional level. "Would you mind seeing them?"
Stein's smile disappeared once again and became serious. "Sure, sounds great."
Without another word, Kid turned around to lead the way and guide him out of the party to that empty room that unknowing to Stein, the other four were waiting. I might just be overthinking things, but he accepted that deal a little too quickly. Kid kept thinking. I had a whole story lined up and a whole load of phrases to beg him to come, but he agreed so suddenly. What is he planning?
"Patty, they're on their way." Liz told her sister. Because of the microphone still placed on her, Tsubaki and Black Star heard it too, and readied their weapons.
"Gotchaa sis~~!" The sister sang.
Kid and Stein were finally away from the crowd, all the way at the end of the distant hallway. It was silent for the most part, aside from the clacking of shoes and the breathing. As they walked closer and closer to the entrance of the room, Stein noticed the two young women standing in the doorway.
"Who are they? And their clothes..." Stein asked nonchalantly. Liz and Patty were in their infiltry uniforms, so they looked more like-
"Bodyguards." Kid replied quickly. "I know what you must be thinking, how can they be bodyguards; they're girls after all." Kid sighed, pretending to be interested in the topic.
Say that again you sexist pig! Liz silently thought to himself.
"Oh, I see. But I shouldn't underestimate women, especially after meeting her." Stein threw his head back to stare at the ceiling, remembering her. That blonde hair, that long black coat she usually wore, and that eyepatch that covered one of her eyes.
Kid glanced at him, but shook it off. It didn't matter who he was talking about, all that mattered now was their mission. Everything seemed as if it was all professional, like they had practiced it, but in truth they did not. The opening to the room were double doors, and as Kid stood and faced the middle of them while Stein stood behind him, Liz and Patty, opened the doors on each side at the same time.
The room was dead empty, except for a fireplace and a giant chandelier that hung in the deadcenter of the room. It was big, almost like a living room, and made completely of marble. Kid kept looking straight forward, wondering about what the look on Stein's face must be, Liz and Patty ready to chase him down if he tried to run away.
Instead, Stein simply smiled with insanity.
...
A room. No, a prison cell, and an old one at that. The only light sources are the laughing moon and one single lightbulb swinging back and forth from the ceiling. There are two people within the jail cell, and one other person out of the jail cell, sitting at a desk doing nothing.
"Ow...my head...what the hell?" A white-haired boy finds himself lying on the ground. He wakes up and takes in his surroundings slowly, trying to regain full consciousness. He notices another figure laying on top of him. He moves around to readjust himself so he can see who it is, while trying not to wake them.
"Maka...?" He states, a little frustrated. Then he looks straight ahead to see bars. "Damnit, we got caught." He says through gritted teeth.
...
Kid, Stein, Liz, and Patty, all entered the room, taking it in mostly. Tsubaki and Black Star were still above, waiting to make any necessary actions if needed. As they got furthur into the room, Liz and Patty shut the doors behind them, encasing them in near darkness except for the light sources. Stein kept standing, Kid turned his body around so he could face him completely and Liz and Patty both took seats in the table nearby.
"Well, Kid, there's no one here. You didn't trick me did you?"
After revealing a slight smirk, Kid snapped his fingers, and down came Black Star and Tsubaki, each landing behind Stein on either side of him, so they now had him surrounded. Stein's pupil turned to the corner of his eyes and his head slightly turned so he could see over his shoulder. He was wearing a fedora that matched his white outfit that had a picture of a screw on it. He grabbed one of the flaps with his thumb and index finger in the front of it and turned the fedora, making it spin slightly on his head, fingers ending up at the side of his head. Spinning his signature hat was a tendency he had whenever his mind had 'clicked'.
"My my, I invite you to my glorious party and this is what I get." He stated with fake sadness, and put his fingertips to his forehead in a dramatic sense. "Then again, this is what's to be expected of Death's son."
Kid had a stern look on his face that was both surprise and impatience blended in together. Of course he had told Stein what his name was, so it wasn't unusual for him to call him out to be the son of Death but the way he said it, seemed to be filled with...insanity?
"Look i'm not going to waste my time beating around the bush so i'm going to say this loud and clear." Kid told him strictly before clearing his throat. "I know you work for Asura so all I need to know is what he is planning and you can leave unharmed."
Stein smirked. "That depends, are you an enemy or an ally?"
Kid smirked. "Neither. I guess you could say we're just teenagers looking for the truth." It wasn't a complete lie, in fact, he wasn't lying at all. They were neither enemy nor ally, they are all teenagers, and they are all looking for the truth. The only part he left out was that they were all highly skilled and trained with the best and plan on stopping Asura at any cost...no big.
Stein laughed. "Looking for the truth eh? Oh how I know how that feels." Most of that sentence had to do with his obsession with dissecting things.
"Don't dodge the question."
Stein stopped laughing. "No, let me ask YOU a question. What would you do with such information? Trust is a big issue here, Kid."
"We just want to know, that's all."
Stein scrunched his eyebrows together, contemplating that answer. "I'm not an idiot and I know that's not the whole truth, but I do know you have something more important to deal with right now."
At that everyone stiffened and some took in a slight gasp. He's not talking about what I think he's talking about...Liz, Patty, Black Star, and Tsubaki each thought. So it WAS him! Kid thought triumphantly in his head. It seemed the atmosphere in the room had drastically changed, and the previous question had vanished. Stein took advantage of the mood change and stretched his arm to take a nearby chair and he turned it around, putting each leg on each side and sitting backwards on it, resting his arms on the top of the chair and putting his chin on them. He was much more comfortable in that position, taking in their reactions.
Kid was struck the most on the attack. Everything had to be exact and perfect, the plan and carrying out the plan, but the attack was so unexpected it seemed as if all their work would have gone to waste and the entire plan would just crumble right then and there. He clenched his teeth.
"What happened to Soul and Maka?"
Stein turned his head around to the person who asked, and set his eyes on the blue-haired boy.
"Who?"
...
He had rearranged their bodies so now they were both sitting with their backs up against the wall. Because she was still sleeping, he let her lay her head on his shoulder, casually throwing one arm over one of her own. They stayed like that until she would wake up. A few hours later he finally felt her stir underneath his arm, and took it off her shoulder and watched her carefully.
"What...?" She nonchalantly whispered, using one knuckle to rub her eyes so they would open after being closed for so long.
"Geez it's about time you woke up." Soul sighed and rested his head up against the wall. "They got us, what a pain."
Maka's eyes were fully open now and she looked up in front of her, seeing those metal bars that went up and down. She turned and looked at Soul's tired body. "Oh my gosh you've got to be kidding..." She hung her head in shame. "We failed this time?"
"No."
She lifted her head up quickly and turned to Soul with a hopeful look on her face. "You mean we-"
"I didn't mean us retard." Maka made a slight scowl on her face. "The others are fine, they're still in there and knowin Kid, the plan will definitely be carried out."
Her eyes scanned her surroundings, looking for any object at all. In the corner of the cell she noticed there was a toilet there, and a small one at that. Below the toilet was a broken pipe, or in her eyes, a metal bar. She quickly crawled over to inspect it even more and sure enough, it was a bar about two feet long.
"Soul!" She hissed. He turned his head to look at her with droopy eyes. "Use this!" She pressed, pointing to the bar.
"Nah, i'm tired." He casually stated. It wasn't an excuse, he could use it as a weapon or as a tool to help them escape but he had other reasons for not doing exactly that.
"We need to get out and help them!" Maka argued.
"Whatever."
She became frustrated and irritated. "What do you mean 'whatever' Death said this one was important so we should escape and do as much as we can!"
"Exactly. Our job was to stay put outside in that van, not to go bargin in there with them, that's what Black Star's for." He wasn't exactly arguing, he was too laid-back or too cool for that. He just kept a small tone, secretly begging her to shut up on the inside. His resolution to that, keep talking so she won't. "If we break out then what? All our equipment is totaled and it's not like we can ask someone for help, especially looking like we just got jumped or came from war. Right now the best thing to do is just wait here until morning."
Maka's anger left, he had a point. A VERY good point. She lowered her tone. "But, they'll be worried."
"Let them worry who gives a damn they can do things without us you know that."
Soul had closed his eyes to try to sleep so he couldn't see it when she smiled. "You're right." She said.
"Aw how cute, they're bonding."
It sounded like a man, a grownup man with a really low voice. Soul's eyes shot open and Maka turned her head to the bars. There were two people standing there. A tall muscular man, the one who spoke most likely, with a tattoo around his left eye and a girl much shorter than him with long hair. The man was dressed in a tshirt and sweatpants while the girl was dressed in what looked to be a dress with leggings and a crop jacket over with a yellow hat-like item on her head.
"Not a chance, bondin's uncool." Soul quickly snapped back at him. Both him and Maka were debating on whether they were their captors or saviors.
"Calm down sharkboy." The girl ordered. It seemed that Soul had accidentally shown his sharp teeth to her, a feature of his he usually tried to cover up.
"What was that?" Don't get him wrong he absolutely loved it when people called him out on his teeth, he thought he was the coolest guy in the world because he was probably the only guy in the world born with teeth like that. Soul thought it gave him an edge and made him look more intimidating, two traits he absolutely adored. But giving him names about them, not too thrilling for him.
"Anyways Free, my shift's over it's your turn to watch these brats."
"Where are you going Eruka?" The man so-called Free asked the so-called Eruka.
"I'm going to pay a visit to her." And with that she made her way to the door.
'Her'? Who could that be? Maka thought in her head.
So these guys aren't with us huh? Soul thought in his head.
