Chapter Two: Could Soul be a Meister?

"I'm a scythe?!" asked Maka.

"YAHOOOO! I GUESS MAKA WAS A WEAPON AFTER ALL! ISN'T THAT COOL TSUBAKI?!" screamed Blackstar.

Tsubaki was about to tell Blackstar that yes, she did think it was cool, and that perhaps he should try to be quieter, when all of a sudden, a certain redheaded Death Scythe flew through the door...

"My little Maka, a Meister AND a Weapon?! Papa is so proud of his little girl!" shouted Spirit.

With a speed no one thought possible for someone who had just learned how to transform into a Weapon, Maka's arm appeared from within the scythe blade.

"MAKA CHOP!"

"Oh my Spirit, that wasn't a good way to go about things at all now was it?" said Stein. "Well, I suppose we'd better inform Lord Death of this recent development. Maka, please transform back out of your weapon form. You and Soul will come with me to the Death Room."

"We get to go to the Death Room? Only cool people get to go there, right Maka?" said Soul.

After a few minutes of walking through the DWMA, Maka, Soul, and Stein arrived in the Death Room. Death the Kid, Liz, and Patty were there, along with Lord Death.

"Hello, hello, hello!" said Lord Death. "What's up?"

"It seems that our suspicions were correct, Lord Death. Maka is a Meister, but also has the Weapon gene." replied Stein.

Before Death had a chance to respond, Patty started jumping up and down excitedly.

"Oooh! I wanna see Maka's Weapon form! Do you look like a giraffe?!"

"I just hope she's symmetrical...unlike her abomination of a partner.."

"Ok Maka, let's see that Weapon form of yours," said Lord Death.

Maka focused again on becoming the scythe she had envisioned. She felt the same weird sensation spread throughout her body, followed by a gasp from Death, Death the Kid, Liz, and Patty.

"You're not symmetrical!' cried Kid, "What a disgrace..."

Liz and Patty pulled the very depressed Death the Kid off to the side to calm him down.

Finally, Lord Death was able to speak.

"Well Maka, this is certainly very interesting news. Somehow, during your battle with the Kishin, your dormant Weapon abilities became active while you were unconscious."

"But Lord Death," said Maka, "if I'm a Weapon, does that mean I need to find a Meister partner so that I can become a Death Scythe as well? Would that even be possible?"

"I believe it very well may be, Maka," replied Death, "I wonder...transform back into a Weapon. Soul, try picking her up once she does."

Maka once again transformed into her scythe form. Soul reached down, and found that she was incredibly light. He picked her up, and swung her around with almost no effort.

"Well Soul, it seems that you are both a Weapon and a Meister yourself. Maka, I suggest that you start working on being a Weapon while Soul learns how to be a Meister. Professor Stein, you will teach them after school every day. Once the two of you have learned how to be both Meister and Weapon, you will start going on missions again to collect enough Kishin Eggs and two Witch souls so that you both can become Death Scythes.

"Yes sir!" "Aww man, extra lessons? Going to extra lessons isn't cool..."

Maka and Soul left the Death Room, along with the calmed down Death the Kid, and Liz and Patty.

"This is a very interesting situation, Stein. If Maka and Soul truly are capable of working together as both Meisters and Weapons, we may see the most powerful Meister and Weapon team yet," said Death.

"Very interesting indeed, Lord Death. I will start the extra lessons with them tomorrow," replied Stein.

"Good. I expect a report on their progress at the end of the week. See ya later!" said Death.

"I wonder how this is possible..." thought Stein. "I wish I could dissect them and see..."

Here's chapter two! Again, please continue to let me know if there's anything I can do to improve this story! I really appreciated the positive reviews I got right after posting the first chapter. Also, please let me know how the chapter length is; I can make chapters longer or shorter if needed!
