Author Note: Hello everyone I hoped you liked the 1st chapter now it's on to chapter 2 with our main villain! Note this character is NOT I repeat NOT an OC she is from the spin off series Soul Eater Not! The reason why I decided to use her instead of an OC is because she is what I had in mind with my OC idea but had some kind of plot background that I didn't have so instead of stealing the idea for an OC I decided to use the character herself. Give her some spotlight to how I think she might turn out in Soul Eater Not! Enough of my talk though let's go on to Chapter two!


Souls as One: Part One (Soul Eater) Rise of the Youngest Witch

Chapter 2: New Witch in Town.

Outside of Death City…

Everyone in Death City is at peace meister and weapon teams are improving their skills and the citizens are gaining back to normalcy everyone is happier and at peace…well almost everyone. The ones who worked with the witches Arachne or Medusa are now on the run from the DWMA hiding in towns nearby and keep moving to avoid them. Problem is anyone who knows about the DWMA is on the lookout for all of them making it hard for them for most of the world knows about the DWMA.

Out of these minions on the run was the frog witch Eruka who worked with Medusa and with Free, Crona and the Mizune sisters. Eruka has been on the run with them for as long as she can remember. Since Arachne and Medusa's downfall she cursed herself for being so weak and stupid for being tricked into serving Medusa with those snakes inside her during the time. She also cursed that Crona was still excepted back in the DWMA while the rest of them were on the run. However at the same time she was a bit happy for Crona even if she is a witch shes not heartless she felt bad for the kid with the treatment Medusa gave him but her feelings never went further then that. She admitted that she did have some respect for Medusa but she never wanted to work for her! Medusa had always been highly dangerous and threatening to the witches but no one would listen to her! It was frustrating and she ended up being forced to work with her no less. Now because of that ungrateful witch she was now on the run for her life.

Free who is also on the run with Eruka was also frustrated by all this. He was grateful to Medusa for freeing him but soon after that he found that he was nothing more than a pawn to her for her plans. The only reason why he agreed to help was at first to repay her but then he did so because he knew she would make his new life be a living hell if he didn't agree to help her. She sure made his life a living hell alright now he was on the run not just for stealing the grand witches eye to gain immortality but also because he helped Medusa free Asura. What's worse is that not only would he be on the run for the rest of his life but he was an immortal so he would be on the run for eternity.

They all came to a stop in an abandoned building caching their breath. Free being the leader of the group was the first to speak "I think we're safe in here it's a good thing they're going after people from Arachnophobia first and got out of there before it all went down".

With this said Eruka put her back against the wall and slid down it to the floor and started to cry "This isn't fair Free! I never wanted any of this I wanted to kill that witch to keep myself and the other witches safe from the DWMA! But then she ends up doing this to me and I'm now on the run for my life!".

Free frowned he knew that Eruka never wanted to work for Medusa and was forced into it when he wasn't in a way and that she only worked for her to stay alive and now she has to live like this. "I know it's not fair Eruka but we have to deal with it. I promise I won't let you or the Mizune sisters get killed easily" Free told her to help calm her down.

At this Eruka looked up "Really?" she asked stunned. Free answered with a nod "Yeah after all I'm Immortal I can do anything". Eruka sweat dropped a bit at hearing him say that but smiled. She always got along with Free he may be a bit odd at times but she considered him a friend along with the Mizune sisters for which she still feels bad about getting the oldest one killed.

Before they can rest up more they started to hear an evil laugh and all jump up and started to keep their guard up. Eruka stayed behind Free a bit nervous of whom it would be. "Who are you? Show yourself!" Free demanded and to answer him a woman appeared before him or rather a teenager.

She had a pale and unblemished complexion with slender facial features, which are characterized by the unusual iris displayed by both of her eyes. It was shown by her eyes alone that she was a witch with a scorpion theme for her eyes having that distinctive feature takes the shape of two interlocking scorpion stingers, which together form one complete circle located at the center of each eye. She also had a headscarf covering her hair which was arranged into a long loose plait that ends in the shape of a scorpion's stinger, through the use of an appropriately tied bow, an aspect that is further mirrored by an ornamental earring dangling from her right ear. She also seemed to be wearing typical attire consists of a long-sleeved sailor outfit that has been adopted by many Japanese schools as their standard uniform. It also displays the symbol of the star sign "Scorpio" as a small emblem, located on the visible portion of her vest beneath her sailor collar.

Free, Eruka and the Mizune sisters all looked at her and blinked they didn't expect this. Eruka was the first to speak seeing that the teen in front of them was a witch "Um…who are you?" at this the teenager half smiled evilly one that sent chills down Eruka's spine similar to when Medusa smiled.

"My name is Shaula Gorgon I'm sure you have heard of me before" she said with a young yet evil like voice.

Eruka's eyes widen in shock she knew this witch alright but she never met her in person she was the witch of Scorpions Medusa's little sister! "I know you! Your Medusa's and Arachne's little sister. Medusa told me a bit about you but other than that all I know is that you suddenly went into hiding years ago and were never seen again. Until you tried to take over the DWMA by using the NOT students only to disappear again not to long before Medusa started up her own plan. From what Medusa told me she said you were dead" she admitted.

Shaula laughed at Eruka's statement "Yes I did almost die but I fooled them with a kishin egg soul and made it pass as my own. While I regenerated myself much in a similar fashion that my sister Medusa did with those snakes of hers".

Eruka knew what she was referring too. She was talking about how Medusa was almost killed by Stine and Spirit when they had revived the Kishin Asura. She had split her soul into pieces and put them inside a snake then possessed a young girl named Rachel to use her body as a way to protect herself while going forward with her plans. Medusa knew that the DWMA wouldn't harm her while she was inside a innocent little girl's body. What She didn't count on was Maka using the Majin Hunter (Genie/Demon Hunter) to erase Medusa Soul after freeing Rachel from her.

Free wasn't sure what to think of this Shaula that was in front of them. She looked rather young like Eruka but on hearing she is the 3rd Gorgon sister shocked him he didn't think the youngest sister would look this young (goes to show don't judge a book by its cover).

At this point Free asked "What do you want with us?".

Shaula answered "I'm here to have you seven come with me".

Eruka shouted "No way! I have had enough with the Gorgon sisters as it is I'm not about to get myself into another hell hole!".

Shaula smirked "Oh really? So you don't mind the safety and shelter I could offer you all won't be used for you? I know Medusa has made it so that you all will now be chased for the rest of your life to have to live in constant fear if you chose not to come with me that will be your life for now on".

As much as they didn't want to admit it she was right "And how do we know we can trust you?" asked Free.

Shaula shrugged "You don't but if you don't want to come in for shelter you can come with me to help get revenge on the DWMA".

"Oh yeah? And how do we know your plan would even work when your sisters didn't do well with theirs! not to mention you had failed once before with NOT Students no Less!" Eruka shouted.

"Because I have a plan much better thought out then my sisters did and besides…I've been waiting for this time. What you may not know is that my previous plan was not a complete failure for I got what I wanted in the end. For that plan was nothing more then an experiment. Also I knew my sisters would bring the DWMA to its knees but wouldn't be able to finish the job so now I'm going to show that i'm just as good as them and take this opportunity they have made to take down the DWMA once and for all!" Shaula explained.

Eruka still wasn't convinced but Free thought about it and realized what she meant and she was right the DWMA was at its knees. They suffered serious damage from there last major battle and any team above one star were scattered all over to find those who worked for Arachne and for them who worked for Medusa if there was any time to attack it would be now.

"Maybe she could do it…" Free admitted to himself shocking Eruka "What do you mean Free?" she asked.

"Well think about it the DWMA is still repairing its self from the last battle and has its guard down and just about any weapon and mister above one star is scattered all over looking for us and for everyone that worked for Arachne if there was any time to attack it would be now" Free explained.

Eruka thought about it and sighed "Yeah I guess you're right…". Eruka knew Free was right but Shaula was a Gorgon sister she wasn't to be trusted but she knew she had no choice. It would either be run for the rest of her life and be captured by the DWMA and get killed or take this chance to try and fight back at the DWMA. If Shaula is as good as Medusa and Arachne were then it could work. After all even though the plan with the NOT students didn't work she did come close to succeeding and revived herself that was impressive it's self.

"Well…I guess I'm in if Free is" Eruka admitted. Free nodded his head "I'm in too" the 5 Mizune sisters then raised their hands in agreement with a "chi".

Shaula grew an eerie smile on her face "Very well then follow me" and with that she took them in a secret passage way back to her lair just outside of Death City… underground.

Shaula's lair…

Meanwhile at Shaula's lair laid a few people two of which were ones who worked for Arachne. One being a weapon named Giriko and the monster Mosquito who took care of Arachne's organization of Arachnophobia during the 800 years she was gone and now…all of that had been wasted.

Mosquito had always been loyal to Arachne she was his dearest companion and master and thanks to that ungrateful Kishin she was dead and Arachnophobia destroyed. Mosquito and Giriko were the only ones left of Arachnophobia along with a few minor minions. Mosquito cursed himself for living while Arachne was killed and couldn't believe he was now stuck with the ungrateful weapon Giriko. They never got along but with Giriko insulting Arachne going on about how she betrayed him got on Mosquito's nerves. Mosquito knew about Shaula alright for she was the sister who created the weapon Tsubaki is now 800 years ago in spite of Arachne showing she could make a better weapon by having the person turn into more than just one weapon. Mosquito never really cared about Shaula she wasn't as bad as Medusa as far as he knew for Shaula didn't betray her oldest sister like Medusa did. But that was not the reason he chose to go with Shaula the reason was that he wanted to have revenge against the DWMA for what they did to Arachnophobia.

The weapon Giriko on the other hand could care less about what happened to Arachne or Arachnophobia. The only reason why he joined Arachnophobia 800 years ago was to fight against the DWMA to show Lord Death he wasn't going to go by his rules and destroy it all with his hatred. Now that hatred was doubled for being humiliated like that after having to live 800 years of boring empty crap sending his brain and soul through his children through the generations for nothing but humiliation. Their was one person in particular he held the most hatred for and that was the Death Scythe Justin Law.

Justin was a weapon like him one of the strongest weapons out there. His equal in strength and he like Giriko didn't need a meister to be used in battle. The similarities end here however for Giriko hates the DWMA and everything it stands for and wants nothing more than to kill Lord Death with his own hands. Justin on the other hand works for the DWMA and is a Death Scythe for that matter. He is extremely loyal to Lord Death and his "teachings" and fights for everything the DWMA stands for and he is still just a kid! He is only seventeen years old! That's what pissed off Giriko the most was that he was beaten by a kid! Now he has joined Shaula as a second chance to take down the DWMA, Justin and Lord Death once and for all. However he has to admit he wasn't to sure about Shaula he liked Arachne a little but taking orders from Shaula who appeared like a kid herself bothered him plus he couldn't shake the feeling off that she was not to be trusted.

After a while Shaula came in with Eurka, Free and the Mizune sisters "Looks like we now have everyone here and accounted for" Shaula said as Mosquito stood up and took off his hat and bowed.

"Welcome back Lady Shaula may I ask who they are?" he asked politely.

"This is Free the werewolf known to have stolen the grand witches eye, the frog witch Eurka and the mice witches the Mizune sisters they worked for Medusa" Shaula explained.

At this Mosquito's eyes grew colder as he looked at them giving the Mizune's and Eurka the shivers "Why should we have them work with us? They infiltrated Arachnophobia sending secrets to Medusa which led to Arachnophobia's downfall" Mosquito asked with disdain.

"My Mosquito I know you are loyal to my older sister Arachne and are angry at my sister Medusa for causing her death but they were forced to work with her. Free here was let out by Medusa and he helped her out of gratitude not knowing she would use him forever more and poor Eurka here was forced to work with her after Medusa put over 1,000s of snakes into her body threatening to kill her if she ever disobeyed. While the Mizune sisters are good friends of Ekura's joined in for her sake they hate Medusa just as much as you do. Besides we could use as many allies as we can get and they did help Medusa free the Kishin so they are strong in their own ways" Shaula explained.

Mosquito looked over to them and saw Eurka and the Mizune's shaking a bit hiding behind Free who seemed to have grown protective of the girls and nodded to Shaula "Very well then" and put his hat back on.

Giriko spoke up "Who cares who they are! When are we going to attack the DWMA and what are your plans anyway?"

"You shut your mouth Giriko! Even now you don't show respect for anyone do you? If you don't shape up I will kill you with my own bare hands!" Mosquito shouted at him.

"Oh so you want to fight again old man? Because I think you could use a beat down!" Giriko replied rising his leg with chains going to fight in return Mosquito had his nose grow.

Shaula laughed a bit "Boys boys calm down you will have your chances to fight" with that said the two calmed down.

Once things calmed down a bit Eurka took it as her chance to look at where they were. Shaula's lair looked like that of an Office one that she hid underground of Death City similar to how the Kishin was hidden under the DWMA. The office was spacious and had a huge desk in the middle with the star sign "Scorpio" above her chair and book shelves which held many books, ingredients for potions and what not. Behind the chair and desk was a secret door a passage that leads to her experiment room filled with her rejected failed experiments and the one successful one. Eurka could tell Shaula was like a combo of her two sisters by how the office looked and what she had in it. She could tell she made it an office to keep a work like appearance much like how Medusa did with her nurse's office in the DWMA (although she had to since she was undercover) and had some things that looked similar to what Medusa had. However she saw that it was a lot fancier then anything Medusa had and that she liked the finer things in life like Arachne did she also saw that she had red wine much like Arachne did at her place and she saw there was red blood (Mosquito's drink) as well.

Shaula then sat on her desk and opened a bottle of red wine as Mosquito walked over to her "If I may I can poor you a drink" he offered.

"I would like that vary much Mosquito I can see why my sister Arachne put so much trust in you" with that said her glass was soon filled with red wine poured by Mosquito himself she soon took a drink of it and put the glass back down "Alright then let's get down to business".

Giriko walked over along with Free and the others "it's about time so then what is your plan huh?" Giriko asked not really expecting anything big from her.

"Tell me have you all heard about the 'Traitors'?" Shaula asked.

Giriko raised an eyebrow "What the heck are you talking about?" he asked.

That's when Free stepped in "Wait I think I have heard of them they are these normal humans that go into Death City to challenge Miesters and Weapons to test their strength or something like that what about them?" at this Shaula motioned over a young man that was in the room to come over they didn't really notice him but now everyone had a good look at him.

The young man most likely in his teens had his face largely obscured beneath the resulting shade of his hooded jacket, he is characterized solely by a sinister sneer and the peculiar presence of a "Scorpio" symbol emblazoned on his right eye. This emblem is repeated upon the upper left of his jacket, which due to its rolled-up sleeves reveals two scorpion stingers tattooed on his exposed right forearm. He also had a pair of dark jeans, adorned with a small chained ornament in the shape of a scorpion stinger, hanging from his waist.

"This young man here is one of the Traitors you have heard about and is my most loyal one. His name is Ethan" Shaula explained with Ethan doing bit of a smirk.

"Okay so the Traitors work for you huh? I don't see how they can be of any help their normal humans" said Giriko.

"By themselves they are but after having a dose of my experiment they will be stronger than the Miesters and Weapons" Shaula said with a smirk.

At this everyone was shocked "But…but that's not possible Crona had the Black Blood and Ragnorok inside him to become a kishin but he didn't become stronger then the Miesters and Weapons" said Eruka.

"Yeah it's not so impressive" admitted Giriko.

At these doubts Shaula smirked "That type of thinking is exactly what the DWMA will think as well which is what I'm counting on they wouldn't see the Traitors as a threat giving us the advantage. You see the experiment is to increase their soul wavelength and physical strength along with any abilities they have to match and surpass that of the Weapons and Miesters along with a little something extra to give them a power boost when needed. Eruka you mentioned before of my failed attempt of attacking the DWMA using the NOT students. Well to tell you the truth that was an experiment. After figuring out how to control those students by using the Traitors I was then able to use those methods to transfer the NOT students abilities by taking some of the soul wavelengths power stored in there blood I had gotten from those students. Then I had put them into my final product venom for the Traitors to use against the DWMA. And since they think I am dead after getting the fake soul I left behind they wouldn't see the attack coming".

They were shocked to say the least but Giriko and Eruka were not convinced "Okay so let's say what you said is true and this experiment does work what are you going to do with it?" asked Giriko.

"Simple I'm going to have them attack the DWMA while they are in the middle of repairs and since no one expects anything from the Traitors they won't see it coming and we will take back the magic tools taken from my older sister Arachne including Brew and the Book of Eibon". Eruka was a bit shocked by this answer but admitted to herself that this could work.

"However…there is one miester and weapon team they could be a problem…" admitted Shaula.

"And what team would that be my lady? The Death Scythes?" asked Mosquito.

"Well the Death Scythes will be hard to deal with but we can take them on I'm sure of it but there is a one star miester and weapon team that could complicate things…it's the team with the Death Scythes Spirit's Daughter in it along with lord Deaths son" Shaula admitted.

Giriko laughed "You serious? You think a team of one stars will be a threat that's rich!" he continued to laugh between words.

Free also spoke up "I agree with Giriko they shouldn't be that big of a problem" he admitted.

With this Shaula did a tsk tsk tsk "I wouldn't judge them so quickly if I were you…after all who do you think killed my sister Medusa and defeated the Kishen Asura?".

Giriko suddenly stopped laughing and everyone was in shock. "…Is this some kind of joke if it is I didn't get it" said Free with a confused look on his face.

"It's no joke Free the meister Maka and her weapon Soul went in to help my nephew Crona and Death Scythe Marie to get Stine back and it was Maka and Soul with their Majin Hunter that killed my sister Medusa then all of them together were able to defeat Asura mainly that meister Maka shes a grave threat…so is Lord Deaths Son Death the Kid, and that one kid Black Star being the last of one of the most powerful clans. Not to mention it seems my nephew Crona has also joined in…that black blood of his may not be perfect but it's nothing to sneeze at. They also all have powerful weapons…before we can do anything we need to get them out of the way once we do the adults will be in a panic for those kids mainly Spirit and Lord Death himself seeing as their daughter and son will be gone" Shaula explained.

Eruka saw her point along with everyone else in the room "Okay…so how do we get rid of them if they are as powerful as you say they are?" she asked.

Shaula gave an evil smile "By sending them into a witch territory I created" when she said that the Mizune sisters hid behind Eruka who in turn stayed close to Free a bit freaked by what she said.

Free and Giriko were confused "What the heck is a witch territory?" Giriko asked.

Mosquito then took off his hat and started to explain "Well basically it's the magic surrounding a person, group or place that a witch has mainly used for spells, plots and experiments only the most powerful witches can use it. Its mainly made by a certain type of witch known as the old ones known to be older and more powerful than the grand witch herself. All witches of that type can make one…but as for normal witches like Eruka over there or even Lady Arachne and Medusa its rare only the most powerful witches can use it. I know for a fact Arachne and Medusa made ones themselves without really trying so I'm not surprised you can make one as well Lady Shaula" Mosquito admitted.

Eruka was shaking knowing she was one of Medusa's territory's with the snakes being inside her when Medusa was alive. The same goes for Crona too which is one of the reasons why she started to shake. Not just out of fear but anger to think she was Medusa's property!

"So…who or what were Arachne and Medusa's territory?" Free asked.

"Ah well for Arachne it would be a number of magic tools, Asura himself to some degree and her organization as for my sister Medusa it would be the Black Blood, Crona and even Eruka behind you" Free was shocked by the Eruka part and looked behind him at her seeing her shake.

Giriko didn't know about these witch territories but as far as he was concerned he was rather impressed by it "Okay so how do we get those brats into this territory you made?" Giriko asked.

Shaula grew an evil smile on her face as she explained her plan with everyone listening in getting rather excited in it…for DWMA's battle had only just begun.


Authors Note: I am SO SO SO SO SORRY! I know this chapter didn't come in till a month latter which I wanted to update A LOT sooner than I did. You see for this story I have everything planned out in my head except for this ONE part that I needed and saw that I needed it for chapter two and was like "shit…" I'm a rather bad procrastinator so instead of thinking of it right away to make chapter two I put it off more and more and the next thing I knew 2 weeks had gone by. So I worked on the idea and wrote the chapter during the 3rd week except for the last few paragraphs then I got lazy and didn't finish for another week when I saw it had been a month I finished it to update ^^" I'm so sorry for the long wait I hope you enjoyed chapter two at least. Again Shaula and the two Traitors that showed up in the fanfic are NOT OC's they are from the spin off series Soul Eater Not! However the Traitors names are ones I gave them because they didn't give us their names in Soul Eater Not! The descriptions of the characters from Soul Eater Not! I got from the Soul Eater Wiki I just reworded parts of it so that info goes to Wiki. I will try to get chapter 3 done A LOT sooner it depends on how busy I may get. Have a nice day!

Authors Note Update: Yo Hows it Going? If you are re-reading this story and notice a few changes mainly with this chapter it is because I was able to watch the Soul Eater Not! anime series which unlike the Soul Eater anime series it stayed close to its Manga counterpart. Basically I watched it to get to know Shaula's character a bit better so I have more to go on rather then just what was on the Wiki sites. And Yeah I could have read the Manga but since there was an Anime version that stayed close to the Manga I watched that instead. After watching it however I noticed I had a bit of a problem. It was that Shaula had actually DIED at the end of Soul Eater Not! being the first of the Gorgon sisters to get killed. Since I'm trying to keep this fan-fiction as cannon as I possibly can with my own crossover,romance and OC twists (because it wouldn't be a fan-fiction without changes done to it) I had to acknowledge that the Soul Eater Not! events did in fact happen especially since it happened before the events of Soul Eater. So I decided that while the Attack with the NOT students on Halloween in the series did happen being the attack that was referenced in this chapter a couple of times Shaula did not die afterwords but rather had made a fake counterfeit soul to take place as her own so that she could escape much like Medusa did after her fight with Stine when Asura revived. I decided on this because her soul looked like a red kishin egg soul not a purple witches soul. She then had her loyal Traitor who I named Ethan steal the blood samples that was taken from the Students she had successfully controlled during the Attack. As she had explained in the chapter the Venom she had used to control the students combined with her magic had taken part of the strength and soul wavelength from the students storing it in the blood of that student. Then she used that blood and venom mixture into her final venom product to give to the Traitors for her plan in this fan-fiction. Yes I know not the best explanation and a bit confusing but it was the best I could come up with given what I had to work with which is why I put up this Authors note to explain it better. Chapters 1,3 and 5 are going to stay pretty much the same just a bit more fixed up then before with grammar and punctuation corrections to the best of my ability. The other chapters will have Authors Note Updates as well this one is just the longest one. Have a good day!
