A/N- Heeey, people! Chapter 3 is now officially up! Thanks to all who reviewed. For the record, everyone who I thanked for reviewing last chapter reviewed for chapter 1 (if you couldn't guess already). And thanks to my cousin, for editing! Enjoy the chapter!
DISCLAIMER: If I owned Soul Eater, I wouldn't write FanFictions, I would be writing more chapters of the manga, not leaving readers with a stupid cliffhanger! So, I don't own Soul Eater.
California Dreamin'… Sorta
Chapter 3
"Soul!" Maka commanded shortly. A flash of blue and Soul transformed into a scythe. Maka caught him, twirled him around in her hands, and the blue light was gone, leaving the black and red color of Soul's scythe form in its place.
"Liz! Patty!" Kid said. Two flashes of pink later and Kid held a gun in each hand, pinkies on the triggers, ready to shoot at any time.
The two meisters turned to see Black Star holding Tsubaki's chain form, and Crona using his black blood to create Ragnorok's sword form.
The four meisters ran towards the enemy. Out of nowhere, Maka and Kid stopped, their eyes wide. "Witches!" They exclaimed simultaneously.
"YAHOO! WE CAN DEFEAT ANY WITCHES!" Black Star yelled, clearly unnerved by the fact.
"Not just any witches…" Maka trailed off, a look of fury in her eyes. Just by looking at her expression, everyone could tell who it was.
Out of nowhere, a small ball with a tadpole-like face rolled towards Black Star. "JUMP!" Kid and Crona yelled, both recognizing the small sphere.
Black Star jumped high enough to touch the ceiling just before the bomb exploded. Kid, Maka, and Crona used their arms to shield their faces from falling debris.
Black Star landed on his feet, his hand touching the floor for balance. A group of enemy forces ran towards them. Crona used Ragnorok to cut his hand and tossed his blood at the enemies. They smiled at how Crona was practically killing himself for them… or so they thought.
"Bloody needle!" Crona yelled, and as the enemies ran through the black puddle of blood, the liquid turned to spiky needles, piercing them and liquefying once more, leaving three glowing red souls behind.
More enemies came towards them. This did not seem like it would be ending soon.
"I'll take them, you three go on." Crona said. The three others nodded as Crona rushed towards the small army making their way to him.
They ran on, leaving the souls behind. After all, this was not a very good time for a snack! They kept going, dodging numerous attacks, and killing any enemy that made a target out of them.
"YOU AGAIN!" Black Star yelled. Kid and Maka turned around, only to meet the immortal werewolf, Free. Kid and Maka groaned angrily, both having their share of encounters with him, and they did not feel like having another.
"YOU TWO GO TOWARDS THE WITCHES, I'LL BEAT THE POOP OUTTA THIS GUY!" Black Star yelled, unaware of the ridiculous looks Maka and Kid were making at him for his choice of wording. With one final 'YAHOO', Black Star charged towards Free, and Maka and Kid ran forward.
"KID, DUCK!" Maka yelled, and the two meisters flattened themselves against the floor, just in time to avoid being crushed by a giant flying tadpole. They jumped back up once the "blackout" from the tadpole hovering over them disappeared.
"Must be getting close…" Maka muttered under her breath as a figure hopped of the tadpole. The frog witch approached them with a mini tadpole bomb in each hand. She tossed one at each meister and they both avoided them easily. Kid took shots at Eruka, which she all narrowly missed, only to have the wind knocked out of her by the pole of Soul's scythe form. Now that she was momentarily unmoving, Kid was able to hit her with his wavelength, distributed by Liz and Patty. Eruka quickly got up and tossed one of her bombs at Kid, who didn't have time to avoid it. The bomb exploded, and Kid was hidden under the smoke.
"KID!" Maka and Soul exclaimed. The smoke cleared up and revealed a very angry looking Kid. The sleeves, pants, and torso of his suit were torn, and he didn't seem to have many injuries. Soul and Maka sighed in relief; the bomb must have missed.
"Y-YOU- YOU MADE ME UNSYMMETRICAL!" Kid yelled at Eruka. "YOU'RE GONNA PAY!"
"He's back" Maka thought.
Kid began shooting at Eruka, none of his shots missing. Moral: Never make Kid unsymmetrical.
"YOU TWO GO ON, I'M GONNA FINISH HER OFF!" Kid yelled, addressing Maka and Soul.
Maka left the scene, knowing what was next. Angry as ever, she ran on until she saw her target.
Medusa was standing, calmly watching the battle spread out before her, as if she was a spectator at a football game. Maka clenched her teeth and ran towards the snake witch.
Medusa noticed Maka immediately. "Vector arrow" Medusa commanded.
Dozens of arrows shot towards Maka, who cut every single one of the points with Soul.
Medusa smiled evilly. Maka charged on, making a clean swipe towards Medusa, which she easily dodged.
"WILL. YOU. JUST. STAY. DEAD!" Maka yelled, accentuating each word with a hit, all of which Medusa swiftly dodged.
"Tsk tsk, you should really work on your aim" Medusa chided, like she was scolding a five year old for taking their sibling's cookie.
"Vector-"Maka used this opportunity to swing Soul at Medusa, leaving a horizontal cut across her stomach. Medusa doubled over, clutching her stomach, and coughed up a bit of blood.
"THAT'S FOR SOUL!" Maka exclaimed. She would never forgive Medusa for the scar running diagonally across Soul's torso.
"VECTOR PLATE!" Medusa exclaimed, standing up strait once more.
Without any time to react, Maka was sent flying backwards. Her back collided with the wall and she heard a small crack. Seconds after, a shot of pain ran through her left leg. She slid down to the floor, dropping Soul in the process.
"MAKA!" Soul exclaimed, also hearing the crack.
"I'm fine" Maka groaned, while crawling over to where Soul lay and reaching over to grab Soul. A boot kicked Soul from her reach, and Maka heard the sound of metal sliding across marble. She looked up to see Medusa with a smug grin on her face,
"Vector arrow"
Maka rolled across the floor to avoid the arrow headed towards her heart. She didn't move completely out of the way, and the arrow pierced her side, much to Medusa's aggravation. Maka yelled in pain, as she got up and ran towards Soul, grabbing his handle and swinging him towards Medusa. She was off balance from her leg, and she missed her shot at Medusa's head. The blade of the scythe grazed Medusa's shoulder, barley spilling any blood.
From the distance, a siren was heard. Medusa smiled.
"I hate to end our little game here but it seems I have to go now." Medusa said, with fake cheeriness in her voice.
The giant flying tadpole that almost made a pancake out of Maka and Kid earlier flew towards Maka and Medusa, Eruka and Free on its back.
"NO!" Maka yelled. She took another shot at Medusa, but her leg gave out and she toppled to the ground, hitting one of the last retreating members of the enemy fleet. But Maka wasn't satisfied.
She tried to get back up, but fell back down as Medusa hopped on the tadpole and escape in the distance.
"MAKA!" Soul exclaimed, while transforming back to human form.
"I- I think- my leg's broken." Maka gasped.
"Let's get you to Nygus, she'll help you." Soul said, placing his arm on her waist and draping hers around his neck, helping her to stand up.
Once standing, Maka stared after the tadpole, ignoring her friend's cries asking what happened. The only things running through her mind were that they'd lost, she had a broken leg, and worst of all, Medusa was still out there.
A/N- Geez, writing a fight scene is harder than it seems, yet surprisingly, it was much easier once I got to Maka and Medusa! What's weird is that I hate Medusa and her group more than Arachne and her group, yet I prefer having Medusa in the manga/anime or a FanFiction rather than Arachne… weird! And now to thank my reviewers:
Anaisishere- Oh my gosh, thank you sooo much for adding this story to your favorites! It means so much to me I can't even begin to explain it! Thanks again!
Thanks for reading! I hope you like the chapter! Please review! Never laugh at girl's poetry! A dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's! BYEEEEE!
