Chapter Four: Complications

The next day progressed like any other normal day at Death Weapon Meister Academy. Blackstar and Soul got into another fight, this time knocking off part of the left candlestick at the entrance to the academy. Death the Kid, as usual, sunk into a deep, inconsolable depression as soon as he saw the damage.

"It's an abomination! My father's wonderful, perfectly symmetrical entrance…you've completely ruined it! How am I supposed to attend school in a building with no symmetry?!"

Liz and Patty were trying to calm Kid down, with no success, also per the norm.

"Don't worry, Kid! You made it to school without realizing that you didn't fold the toilet paper into a perfect triangle, so I bet you can handle this!" offered Patty.

Of course, things are never so simple with a raging case of Kid's symmetry obsession.

"I FORGOT TO FOLD THE TOILET PAPER?! I'm an abomination! A completely useless, unworthy abomination!"

Meanwhile, Maka was enjoying a visit with her friend Crona. Unfortunately for her, Crona had decided to try his hand at poetry again and the results were even more depressing than the last time. Soul had to force himself to drag her out of a corner of Crona's room when it was time for their extra lessons with Professor Stein, and he was less than excited about it.

"C'mon Maka! It's not cool for a guy like me to have to drag a tiny-tits bookworm like you to extra lessons! Crona, why the hell did you have to write another one of those things anyway?! You guys are so uncool!"

MAKA CHOP!

Slightly later, at Professor Stein's laboratory.

"Ah, Soul, Maka, I'm glad to see you," said Stein, "Maka, today you will be practicing transforming into and out of Weapon form. Soul, you will be practicing wielding Maka when she is in Weapon form."

"Ok, Professor!" said Maka.

Maka once again envisioned the beautiful emerald green scythe that she had become. Focusing on the silver scrolling along the blade, she felt the warm change creep across her body once more.

Soul picked the gorgeous scythe up, once again amazed at how light it was.

"Wow…"thought Soul, "She's beautiful…"

"Ok Soul, now I want you to practice swinging Maka around a little. I've set up some targets outside the lab, and I would like you to take as many of those out as you can," said Stein.

"Ok, Maka! Let's do this!" said Soul.

Maka's image appeared almost like a reflection on the brilliant green blade. Soul had to look away for a split second to prevent a nosebleed – Maka, like most Weapons, wasn't wearing a shirt.

"Ok Soul!" she said.

Soul began to run at the targets, and sliced through them with Maka's scythe blade. To anyone watching, it would have appeared as though the new Meister and Weapon were dancing with one another.

"Amazing." Thought Stein. "Maka, able to maintain her Weapon form so easily, and Soul, naturally wielding her as if he had been training as a Meister this whole time…There is something incredible about these two…how I wish I could dissect…"

Stein, noticing that Soul had run out of targets, was able to stop his thoughts of dissecting his students and decided to give the talented Weapon-Meister hybrids a more challenging task.

"Wonderful! Now, try to resonate souls," said Stein, "It will be harder than you may think, since both of you are in the reverse of your role, but I think that you can do it.

"Ok, Professor!" Shouted Maka from within the scythe.

"LET'S GO, SOUL RESONANCE!"

Sparks of energy began to fly around the white haired Demon Weapon Meister and his Meister turned Weapon.

"Soul! We're doing it! We're resonating!"

"I know Maka! This is incredible! The amount of power surging through my body is insane! Wait…what's going on?! Something feels wrong! Maka!"

"SOUL!"

Then Soul's whole world went black.
