Chapter 02: Catches Up
Death the Kid hadn't been the new Lord Death for the Grim reaper for very long. It came with not only new powers but new responsibilities. He wore his father's black cloak as a reminder of the promise he made to protect the world in his father place. He sat in an old throne like chair.
"Here you go eat up." Liz walked up to him handing him a quickly bought lunch she and her sister went to get.
"And drink up, Kiddo." The smiling face of one Patty Thompson handed him a cup of coffee. "Oh and Masters says hi."
The two girls hand out other lunches and cups that they had gotten for the meeting which turned out to be far fewer that they needed.
In the last few hours people had been reporting sighting of impossible things and there were always the two same figure and a third one that seemed to be replaced sometimes. What really got their attention was that one of those figures happened to be one of their own.
"Mama." Maka kept replaying the vision of her mother with the sword against the reptile like woman in her head. Maka also had the feeling that she had seen the silver haired girl somewhere before too. As they started to investigate the matter the death scythes arrived with their meister to report their own odd little scene.
And then they started to get more.
Right at the moment at his weapons insistence Kid was eating lunch as a hulking man with a strange eye and a petite woman with a polka dot dress reporting their own experience.
The woman known as Eruka Frog fixed her long orange hat as she spoke, "I've been having a headache since before it started."
"Yeah, me too." The rather large man spoke. He was known as Free the immortal werewolf, he looked like just a big man but when he wanted to he could become a wolf. There was his eyes, an actual eye he ripped from a witch. "We were minding our own business when everything started to change around us. It looked like we had been sent to mountains."
"Then we saw this small girl in the snow with long white hair." Eruka explained. "I saw her lips move and the snow just started to act up and slammed into Yeti."
"Yeti?" Kid couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah, I ran into one in the alps." Free told him off handily. " Most are fun guys. The rest are monks now and then there are a few that like causing trouble. This one looked like he had some sort of device jammed into its skull."
"Yeah, that's when we saw a woman and a man in brown suit on its back." Free tapped his chin. "Now that I think about it there was something familiar about them."
"Everything changed back to normal and we've had a headaches since." Eruka finished their retelling.
"That's odd." Kid commented.
"You're not the only one." They turned around to see four more students arriving.
The pink haired girl was being carried on the back of her boy friend whose hair was mostly two black spikes. Besides them were boy with a vizor on and a girl with long dark hair.
"I've had a headache too." Kim the pink haired witch commented. "I checked with Arisa, Risa and Angela and they got one too."
"Are you all right?" Maka couldn't help but ask. "Why is Ox carrying you?"
Kim gave a small shrug. "He offered." The witch pouted a little.
Ox fixed his thick glass as he tried to hide a blush and their weapons traded glances.
"So, it seems anyone with magic or Soul perception is going to sense when those anomalies happen but only someone with magic like witch will get these headaches." Kid summed up to the crowed that had gathered in the Death Room. Kid looked around the room that seemed to stretch on forever whose walls and ceiling matched the blue sky outside.
"Yeah, good for us." Kim lamented at the dull throbbing in her head.
"That's nothing natural." Free growled. "It felt wrong. I've lived a long time and seen a lot of strange things but that just felt wrong. Everything I've felt made me want to run."
"Made you want to run?" Stein took a step forwards and questioned.
The adults were trying to observe and take a step back letting the next generation take on more control but that observation got Stein's attention.
Stein fixed the screw in his head and asked, "You are an immortal werewolf why would you feel the need to run?"
"I'm going to let you in on a secret: immortal are even more scared of death than mortal. Most immortals let themselves believe the hype that there is nothing that can kill you and that's what got every other werewolf killed." His experience with the Kishin and it's madness reminded him of terror and he hand't forgotten it.
"Everyone but you?" Stein noted.
"Yeah, so trust me when I say I'm not like the others. This thing is bad enough to make me think it can actually kill. That's something you don't want to be close to."
A voice boomed, "For once the immortal is right."
A portal opened up in the room leading to the witches realm and two figures came out of it before it closed. One was a tall woman with black hair that gave her the look like she had cat ears. Stray marks on her face made it look like she had whiskers and she wore a black and white kimono. The woman besides her was shorter and hovered in the air. She wore a dark tattered robe and robe that covered her body all adored with elongated safety pin. Her white hat looked like a sharp tooth grin, a few hairs stuck out from under the at to reveal gray hairs. One eyes was seen in the shadows of the hat the other half of her face was covered with bandages marked with 1/2 after that time Free had torn out her eye.
"The Witch Judge and Mabaa the head Witch. Welcome." Kid got and greeted them. He got up placing his lunch on the chair.
Mabaa looked from under her hat and said, "Nyamu."
"Hello Lord Death." The Witch Judge spoke in her usual serious tone. "We come with troubling news. Hour ago in the Witches Realm started to have visions."
"Let me guess. A blonde woman, a silver haired girl and a man possibly wearing a brown suit or one wearing a bow tie and all three in the middle of some sort battle?"
"Actually the one I saw they were at a beach making sandcastles." The Witch Judge said a little timidly. "Though some witches said they saw them ridding a dragon."
A flash of light fell from the ceiling and hit the ground, as the light faded a shining sword was embedded in the floor.
"Oh no." Was general response to the sword.
In a flash of light the sword transformed into a small white penguin like creature with an upturn nose. He held a small cane and a top hat. "Greetings."
"No!" Kid and Black Star both yelled in shock and horror.
"It's the funny alien!" Patty cheered at the sight of the only Excalibur.
"What are you doing here?!" Kid yelled at it.
"Come to observe again?" Tezca Tlipoca spoke from his mirror.
"I bring warning." The annoying sword spoke.
"Warning? What kind of warning?" Kid was unsure of what to make of this.
"Years ago, long before the fall of Camelot the witch Morgan La Fey spoke of a prophecy."
"Morgan La Fey!" Spirit and the witches were in shock.
"What about her?" Maka knew the name but didn't get the response.
Kim started to explain, "She is one of the most hated witches. Her crimes not only led to the destruction of a kingdom that accepted witches and fairies but her crimes lead to the death of her brother and her son."
"Ah, that was the witch we killed to make me into a death scythe." Spirit said in a shudder. "We didn't know who we were dealing with and she almost killed us but your mother waited for the right moment and got a good shot and we won out in the end." He looked at his daughter.
"If I may continue." Excalibur tapped his cane. "I hold no love for the woman but before the madness took her and she broke the alliance between man, witches and the spirits of the world she was gifted with a sight. She made a prophecy. She said that when the trinity appeared as like ghosts, their past would echo across the worlds into the future and that would only foretell of a great storm. That the time of truth would come and the location of the Magnum Opus would be revealed. The skies would crack open and the anguish of billions of souls would ring out into the air as all things would be washed away."
The room went silent at that.
"How can you be sure this is what she meant?" Kid asked.
"Because the trinity is the name of a group. I received a vision myself in my cave and I saw the three of them standing together in battle. I have known their forms, I know their faces since I first walked this world. It is because of them I first met Arthur. The only one recognize to tell is the man but no matter what guise or form he takes I will always recognize his aspect, I will always recognize Merlin."
"Merlin?" Kid had heard that name before. His father told him long ago that Merlin had been a sort of student of his but also someone that infuriated him and saved him on some of his darkest days.
"Something is happening." Free broke the conversation. "I'm getting this feeling, the same kind of feeling I got right before that weird thing happened."
"Can you sense where one of those illusions is going to happen?" Maka asked already coming up with something.
"I think, its pretty close too if I'm right." Free replied.
Kid had an idea where this was already going, "Maka, Black Star, Ox and Kim take Soul, Tsubaki, Harvar and Jackie to see if you can find out anything from these illusions."
"Soul?" Maka questioned.
"Yes, I'm sure that Soul will be able to do more with you there than be here." Kid told her. He turned to the death scythes and their meisters, "I would like you to get the other students and get them to help keep people calm. If people see these illusions they might start to panic. If anything does happen have everyone look for shelter in the school."
"Lord Death." Spirit Albarn walked up to his new boss. "I want to go with Maka and the others." The older man gave him the puppy dog eyes.
"Go!" Kid relented figuring that the death scythe wanted to make sure his ex-wife hadn't gotten into any danger.
He watched the man following the witch Eruka who was more than a little eager to leave the presence of the Witch Judge since their last meeting she sentenced her to death.
The room emptied out leaving Kid, the Thompson sisters and the two witches all who were staring at Excalibur.
"Why deliver this warning?" Kid couldn't help but question the weapon. "You've never been one to offer help so easily."
"If this is about the prophecy than my friends are in danger and I would like not to lose anymore so soon." Excalibur said without a hint of his usual pride or arrogance.
The others looked at one another shocked by his unusual sincerity.
Worlds away, literally worlds away, in Japan the sun had set and the night had fallen. Ayumu had been racing around trying to find the necromancer. He huffed as he tried to catch his breath.
Leafs descended from above and with a quick woosh Seraphim showed up.
Coming down the road Haruna joined this group, "I didn't find the necromancer."
"Neither have I." Sera said in her usual stoic manner though a tone of worry enter her voice.
"No me neither." Ayumu said looking around.
"Hoot hoot!"
They looked up to see a barn owl of all things flying down to them.
"Hello there." Stepping out of the darkness Anderson greeted them.
"Anderson?" Ayumu was more than little confused.
"Listen carefully I don't think any of us have much time."
"Wow, look at that." Haruna looked at the owl.
Ayumu grabbed her by a stray hair on her head and pulled her back, "Listen, if someone says we don't have much time you should listen."
"It's about Eucliwood." Anderson told them and that got their attention. "After she left the Underworld things happened. There was a mage who collected the blood of the member of the Seventh Abyss that the King of the Night had killed. The mage used it as a powerful talisman that captured images in paper."
"Blood magic!" Haruna yelled at the explanation. "That is old stuff but powerful."
"Yes, which is why all the pages inked in that blood have been carefully guarded. Some of them told of events that seemed yet to happen."
"What did they show?" Seraphim noted the fear in the young man's voice.
"Something that could only be described as horrific. The mage stole and burned the pages in horror but did give people some idea of what would happen. He said that a great evil would twist the strings of fate."
"You can't possibly think that is about Eu!" Ayumu knew that people had hunted her for her power which affect the mythical strings but she was far too kind spirited to use them to hurt anyone.
"No, of course not." Anderson was quick to reassure him. "Let me show you." Anderson pulled out three sheets in blood that formed images on the pages. The pages seemed burned. "They managed to pull some sheets from the flames and gave them to me when I was allowed to transfer to school here and I think you can see why." One page had images of Anderson standing before a throne room and Eucliwood on that throne.
"That is the King of the Night and Nene." Ayumu said to his shock as he recognized two figures.
"Yes, and those scenes played out before me today which is why I was given these." Anderson held out another sheet one which pictured Eu, a man with a bow tie holding a device and woman wearing dark clothes armed with a gun and a sword.
"So Lady Hellscythe is in danger?" Seraphim started to panic.
"You bet she is. The mage did tell us what else was on the burned pages. He said they told a story about the Lady of Hellish Scythes, the Sainted Physician and the Lady of Weapons Who carries the Flames that Purify would have the strings of fates wrapped around them. They would be gathered to face a horrid evil and a storm that threatens to wash everything away."
"That doesn't sound good." Haruna hugged the owl for comfort.
"One more thing." Anderson held out the last page which showed an image of a tall building with a storm wrapped around it.
"I know that building." Ayumu said his heart racing. "I've seen it. That has to be where Eu went."
Ayumu ran towards which forcing Sera and Haruna to chase after him.
Anderson tore the pages apart and tossed them into a trash bin. The owl landed on his shoulder. "Good luck guys you're going to need it." He walked away knowing something terrible was getting ready to rear its head.
Nearby in that very building Kami continued to walk until she came to a room with a steel door and heavy security.
"What's behind this?" Kami smiled at the other woman.
"You can't go in there. I don't even have the key so-"
"What's your name?" Kami asked her.
"Pallas."
"Oh, interesting name. You know, I like to think I'm a good judge of character, though looking at my ex-husband I could be wrong. And I know something is happening and frankly I know you are lying. I also know that you don't belong in this world but neither do I." Kami punched her in the gut and the second her fist made contact white sparks shot out. That was a shot of Kami soul's wavelength forced out her fist sparking out so intensely that it almost looked like white flames.
Pallas flew into the opposite wall and unconsciousness took her when she hit the floor. Kami was at the keypad that locked the door. Pulling up her sleeve she revealed a small device on her wrist and she started to push the buttons. Within seconds the key pad unlocked and the steel door opened. "I have to thank Jack for showing me to use this."
She walked past the door and closed it behind her.
A few moments later the Doctor raced into the floor and spotted the metal door.
"Doctor!" Clara instead noted the woman on the floor.
He ran over to her and scanned her with his screwdriver. "Don't worry about her, she's just knocked out. Oh, that energy shouldn't be here." The sonic screwdriver binged and he turned it to the door. "We have to go in there." He was a man on mission and with a whirl of the device the key pad burst with spark and the door swung open.
"Doctor!" Clara called to him taking one more look at the woman. Something had gotten into the Doctor and got every bit of his focus away from the world. She wondered what could do that. Clara raced after him."What has got to you?" She asked him. "You didn't give a second look at that woman."
"Things aren't what they seem and I've run into her type before and they are more sturdy that they look."
"Her type? What does that mean?"
"Shush!" The Doctor told her putting a finger on his lips. He held out his sonic screwdriver before him. "I don't think we are alone. Someone had to knock her out."
As they turned a corner they found a gun stuck into his face.
"Whoa!" Clara yelled out.
A tall woman with blonde hair held the gun at his face, "Doctor?"
"Kami?" The Doctor said.
They both lowered their item and quickly shared a hug.
"I hate when you do that!" He scolded her.
"Oh, it was funny. I heard you coming the second the door opened and then I saw your souls coming. I have the safety on."
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to visit Eu." Kami pulled away putting the gun in her holster. "I was about to see her when something started to disrupt my soul perception. Something has been distorting space and time."
"And you decided to check up on it?" The Doctor questioned.
"Yes, and it's a good thing I did. It involves us, all three of us, Eu included." Kami turned around and walked to what she found. "We can have a proper hello later."
"So I take it that you know each other." Clara said watching how the spoke to one another.
He smiled at her, "I've known her life times and if it involves Eu too…." He just walked forwards.
"Who is Eu?" Clara questioned walking behind him.
Outside that room Eu finally reached the floor and could feel something pulling at her. She passed the woman on the floor and saw the open door and just stepped inside. Down the hall she could hear voice speaking. Soon she found a great big room with computers, machines and a metal structure over their heads. Energy ran through metal symbols on the circles formed a triangle and each held one item in a small dome and a small pillar with an orb in the middle.
One held a ripped piece of black fabric. "That looks to be a piece of a dress I had but it got ripped." Kami said, "Something about it just feels like me
The Doctor looked at a silver device, broke, with a coral handle and a blue tip. The Doctor looked at it, "My old screwdriver. I broke it trying to contact the Atraxi. It broke down and I tossed it to the ground somewhere in Leadworth. I should have picked it up."
In the final doom Eu saw a single long silver hair. Eu tapped her foot to get their attention and held out a notepad.
That is my hair.
"Eu?" The Doctor and Kami looked at her and spoke at the same time. Both of them quickly ran and embraced the girl.
"What is going on?" Clara was getting fed up with being ignored. "Who are they?"
"This is Eucliwood Hellscythe and this is Kami-" He paused and looked at the woman. "Did you change your last name back to your maiden name?"
"No, it's still Albarn I don't want to do all the paper work to change it." Kami told him flatly.
"And this seems to be old science." The Doctor looked around.
"Really? It looks more like something you'd see at a black mass for witches with a techno vibe."
"Clarke's Third law: Any technology sufficiently advance is indistinguishable from magic. This is old stuff, the kind of technology from the dark time of the Universe. They type of technology that was used by the Old ones, the Racnoss, The Nestene, The Great Vampires, Hervoken, the Carrionites, the Daemos, the Eternals. A time of blood and magic were this was the technology that could change the cosmos."
"Still haven't explained what it is?" Clara pointed out.
"I'm not exactly sure. It looks like something I saw in a museum on Gallifrey. Something meant to twist the web of time but it was ruled too dangerous."
"And it has us in it's sights." Kami pointed out.
"A hair, a ripped piece of clothes and a screw driver, each is meant to make a connection to us."
"Like a voodoo doll?" Clara pointed out. "You need something of the person you want it to work on."
"A DNA replication module, I'm sure you'll find a bit of skin on the piece of cloth and my screw driver." He looked up at the structure around them. "It's causing stress on the wall between the dimensions, this world is starting to bleed into others, the Land of Fiction, the Abstract, The Underworld, Villers, the E-Space and so many more."
"That all sounds bad." Clara couldn't help but say.
"Bad doesn't even begin to describe it. Soon rips and tears are going to form and then chaos. Things that you don't want to imagine are going to start to happen."
"And what does it mean to us?" Kami looked around the room.
"It means we are here." The Doctor said. "The web of time has started to close on us changing events ever so slightly making sure that we all arrived here at this time. Its just like Eu's power changing things around us slowly. Your soul perception brought you here and I was told by DEACON about the anomalies one way or another we'd be here. That's going to have effects else where too, it will bounce down our personal time lines." The Doctor ran his fingers through his hair. "Our past, whenever we have been together will echo into the present through the tears and cracks like an after image. It should focus on people who we are close to use, whoever have tangled our personal time lines with, and places that we are connected too. That will spread given time."
"Great!" Kami said with sarcasm dripping off her voice. "The Universe is ending and everyone will see us before it happens. I wonder how long until people start blaming us."
"Let's not give them a shot." The Doctor said. "It won't be easy but if I can figure out the controls just right I might be able to stop it and put everything in reverse. It won't fix it but it will stop things form getting worse. Its like tearing a shirt pushing the pieces together won't fix the shirt, it needs mending."
"We need to figure out how to mend the shirt of the Universe?" Kami said watching the Doctor jump on the controls.
At Death City Black Star and the others arrived at wide balcony on the second floor of the school.
"This is the place." Free growled. "I can feel it, it's about to start."
The air around them started to shimmer and the scene quickly changed.
"Hurry up Soul!" Maka hurried along with Soul.
He slipped on his black jacket, "Come on Maka, do you think I'm going to wear that monkey suit on a mission."
They found themselves in an open field. Maka's mom stood next to a man in a brown suit and the girl with the amor. Maka couldn't help but think she had seen them before.
The man spoke with a british accent, "Arcateen V, is one of the most peaceful places in the Universe. The arcateenians are one of the most brilliant singers and poets and lucky us she wants to sing us a song for helping save her home."
They all turned their attention to a purple glowing form that floated above the trio, she emanated with an inner white light. She started to sing, it was enchanting like hearing a hundred choirs singing all at once in perfect harmony. The sound seemed to resonate across the air. At that moment the whole thing flickered for a second as the Doctor began his work.
Maka took a step forward and reached toward her mother's hand without thinking. "Mama? I felt her."
"That shouldn't happen." Free took a step back. "That yeti went right through me."
"Mama can you hear me?"
Eruka croaked, "We should move. This whole thing feels wrong."
Back in the building the Doctor started to work the controls. "A little poking and I might figure out how they work."
"Sorry I can't allow that." Pallas stomped into the room as she adjusted her glass. "Let me give you some advice: If you're going to attack a witch make sure to kill her."
Silvery gray feathers formed in her hands. Pallas flicked her wrists and the feathers shot at them like they were throwing knives.
Kami jumped in front of the other and clapped her hands together, "Soul force!"
Spark shot off her palms as she held out her palms the sparks grew until it looked like a wave of white fire and the feather's exploded on contact.
"Still got the temper!" The Doctor shouted.
"Yes, I'm working on it but be grateful I could never do anything like that before I got anger issues." Kami yelled back.
"I'll send your ex husband a fruit basket!" The Doctor hurried back to his work on the controls.
Kami rolled her eyes as she readied the next attack.
"Oh, a meister." Pallas spat out the words. "I didn't think I'd see one of your kind in this world. That's why I didn't bother with soul protect."
"Sorry to disappoint. Might as well tell you my real name, it's Kami Albarn, maybe you heard of me?"
Pallas flinched at the name, "You're the one that made Death's scythe."
"You should see my daughter." Kami smirked.
Pallas started to throw more feather at them. Kami pulled out a fan from her pocket and slapped it close and it transformed into a long katana, the sword was a magical gift left to her by her mother and she knew how to use it. Kami used to slice up the feathers. One of the silvery feathers moved past her and headed towards Clara.
Clara flinched as she saw the feather move towards her but Eu moved in front of her. Eu held out her arm, the gauntlet on her arm readied and as the feather approached it just sort of fizzled out into nothingness.
"What?" Pallas panicked because she thought was impossible.
Kami smiled, "Anti-magic armor, a wonderful woman made that for her."
"Clara! Over here!" The Doctor bellowed waving her over. "Help me on the controls!"
"How are they doing that? I mean magic isn't real, is it?"
"Its real enough, they're born with energies and know how to control them. There is a science behind them even though they call it magic." He worked the controls as quickly as he could. "Now help."
Back with Maka and the other Maka was captivated by the image of her mother.
"Maka!" Soul yelled trying to get her to leave. Everyone else had already moved back and out of the illusion.
"It's the moon!" Tsubaki told them. "Since the battle we've all been affected and by now the worst of it has faded from out mind but its based on desire for a loving mother that Crona never had."
"Maka misses her mom." Black Star put it bluntly.
"This thing seems real enough that is making her actually believe it." Soul gritted his teeth as he realized what was happening.
None of them had a single clue if it was really dangerous but they were worried.
Soul grabbed Maka, "We have to go Maka. That isn't your mother, that is just an image."
"It feels like her."
"Maka, you are better than this." Soul told her. "Don't let the madness take you."
Outside the illusion the other waited. Maka's father looked at the shimmering wall of light before them. He wanted to jump back in and drag Maka out. He touched the wall and he wanted to push through but it didn't let him. He panicked, "Maka! Get out!"
Back in the building energy started to course around the structure and the room started to shake. In the middle of the three objects stood a small pillar with a blue orb in it which started to glow brighter and brighter. They didn't put much attention to it until one stray feather hit it and it started to shake as a crack began to form.
"Oh that is very not good." The Doctor paused in horror.
Pallas just ran out of the room as quickly as she could and slammed the steel door close. Without hesitation she hit the emergency button hidden next to the key pad panel which brought down another secure door on it. Then she still ran.
Spirit and the others watch the shimmering wall that they now found unable to breach. Then it blinked away but there was no Maka or Tsubaki or Black Star or Soul. Spirit fell to his knees in shock. He spotted an angel statue on the corner of a building with its hands covering its eyes as if it were crying along with him, he wished for a miracle.
"It's going to blow!" The Doctor studied the orb back in the building. He moved back to the group watching the orb shook.
A moment later a great force erupted out with a blinding white light shaking the building.
