Dual Phase

Yay! I'm really grateful for all the reviews. Here is the latest chapter of Dual Phase.

I'm planning on making this story at least 15 chapters, so we've got 11 more to go!

In this chapter, you'll get a better idea of what my OC, Luna, is like.

Now without farther adieu,

Enjoy!

Chapter 4: Warning

In the last chapter:

Maka noticed that the so-called 'witch' wasn't making any move towards them, so she decided to ask the 'witch' what had been bothering her the whole time.

"What are you doing here? You know witches aren't allowed in Death City. Why would you come here? You should realize it's suicide..."

"Who are you and what do you want?"

The girl looked directly into Maka's eyes.

"...My name is Luna. I am here to kill the witch Medusa" she responded

No one moved. No one spoke. They all just stared dumbfounded at this girl, the one who called herself Luna. Maka wondered who was going to tell her first because she definitely didn't want to be the one to break the news, not to Luna, who looked murderous when she talked about Medusa.

Luna didn't say anything either. But on the inside she was just a whirlwind of questions. Why are they staring at me like that? Something's wrong. Do they know something I don't? she wondered Maybe I should ask. But something inside her told her to wait, to let them make the first move. The group in front of her was odd looking, but she had a feeling they worked well together. Any unexpected movement, any misinterpreted words and she could find herself in deep trouble.

The blue haired boy that fought her before was now partnered with a black ninja sword, who had been a busty, black haired girl before she transformed. The scythe meister, who had been called Maka, stood a little farther in front of the others, effectively making her the leader of the group. She held the scythe loosely at her side, seemingly out of defensive position, but ready to use her weapon at a moment's notice. Beside her, a strange boy with three white stripes in his black hair had his twin guns trained on the ground. She couldn't help but notice how symmetrical he was. They were all looking confused and Luna couldn't blame them. After all, it wasn't everyday someone tells you they want to kill someone.

Finally, Maka broke the silence. "You want to kill Medusa?" she asked slowly, as of she was picking her words carefully. Luna frowned Isn't that what I told her? Wow she must be hard of hearing or something. Damn, I don't like repeating myself she grumbled. "...Yes. The reason why I'm here is to hunt down and kill Medusa," Luna responded, taking slow steps towards Maka until she was a couple feet away. "You shouldn't mind if I kill her. I understand that witches are your enemy, so it's like I'm doing you a favor." Luna grinned devilishly, teeth showing, just realizing how it all worked out perfectly.

Maka fell silent again, then looked down at Soul. Should I tell her...?Maka asked Soul via soul connection. Soul thought for a few seconds. Ya, tell her. It's better if she found out now then to have to hunt after a ghost the rest of her life. That wouldn't be very cool Soul replied. Maka sighed aloud; she really didn't want to tell Luna the truth. But as she looked around, it seemed like no one else was going to help her out, they were all looking at her to explain. The girl looked dead set on killing Medusa, like she needed to settle a score. Maka knew the feeling well.

This is for her own good she reassured herself. It still didn't make it easy. Maka looked up and met Luna's gaze. "Look, Luna, I didn't want to be the one to tell you this...but Medusa...she's already dead." Maka dropped her eyes, not wanting to meet Luna's.

Luna couldn't move. Her stomach dropped and she felt like she was sinking into a mass of confusion, anger and pain. She couldn't form a coherent thought or sentence. Everything she'd worked for, every moment she waited for this day to exact her revenge now had no meaning. Maka's words were ringing in Luna's head, reminding her again and again of her failure, and it was driving her mad. Her eyes narrowed dangerously into slits and her voice shook with anger when she spoke.

"You're lying," Luna hissed through clenched teeth, "YOU'RE LYING!" She launched herself at Maka, weapons sliding out of the tunnels of her sleeves. As Luna did this in mid-air, Maka and the gang reacted: Maka swung Soul up in an upward motion to block whatever attack Luna had in store, while DTK and Black*Star jumped off to opposite sides, training their weapons on Maka's attacker.

The sound of metal meeting metal echoed throughout the balcony, as Soul the scythe's blade met with Luna's sword. Maka's eyebrows shot up in surprise. These weapons that Luna used was like none she'd ever seen and being a meister, she had seen many. The blades were shaped like sabres, razor sharp on both sides and no guard that Maka could see. Their colouring was unique as well, both were opposites of each other: one sabre was a blinding white while its twin was pitch black. Both sabres were connected at the hilt by a long silver chain which ran back into the oblivion of the black sleeves.

Another blow came, jarring Maka's thoughts back to remember to focus on more important matters, like the hysterical girl currently trying to kill her. Maka also noticed that she was being pushed back by Luna's attacks; they were that strong. If this kept up she'd soon be backed up into the railing of the balcony with no where to go, then she would finally have to strike back against Luna. Since she couldn't sense Luna's soul before, she had no idea the strength and size of Luna's soul power, putting her at a slight disadvantage. She only had one choice left: to try and get Luna out of her state of rage. That wasn't going to be easy, but Maka was willing to try if it meant she wouldn't have to hurt her.

It was now impossible to understand Luna now, her words falling into unintelligible shouts and screams as she took her feelings out on Maka and Soul. Rage clouded her vision and fogged her brain. She couldn't process logic anymore. Her body was relying on pure instinct to attack the threat in front of her. Luna didn't even remember that it was Maka that she was focused on killing. Hell, it could have been a Kishsin for all her body cared, she was that far gone. Any farther and...then she felt that familiar feeling rise up inside of her, it wasattempting to break through and gain control again. NO! She couldn't let that happen. No matter how much she freaked out, no matter what was in her way, it would never be allowed to out into the world ever again.

Unbeknownst to Luna, Maka was speaking to her in a calm voice throughout the battle, struggling to glimpse an ounce of rationality returning to this poor girl. "Luna! Calm down! It's alright," she tried to no avail as Luna continued to hammer attacks at Maka and Soul. "We are not your enemies, remember? But if you continue like this, I will have to stop you," Maka stated with a sad but determined voice. Rivers of water were streaming down Luna's face, drawing sympathy from her, but the look clashed with intense, killer intent that radiated from her silver eyes. Maka felt an intense surge of anger at Medusa. What in the name of Death did Medusa do to this girl to make her this way? She grimaced immediately at the thought, knowing what the sadistic witch was capable of. Corona and Prof. Stein were only a few examples of the lives that witch had managed to ruin. Even though they had recovered, no one could have their hearts and souls played with like that without leaving scars. Maka grit her teeth and tried harder to bring Luna's consciousness back around. "Come on Luna! Snap out of it!" Maka screamed at the top of her lungs, pouring all of her feelings in the cry.

At that moment, Luna stopped her vicious assault on Maka. As her weapons melted back into her sleeves she dropped to the ground on her knees, eyes blank and unseeing. Maka didn't anticipate this and fell backwards onto the railing. What the hell? she thought as she regained her footing and carefully approached Luna's unmoving body. Maka waved her hands in front of Luna's face, trying to rouse the girl. There was no movement or reaction, her eyes flat like a silver coin. Luna was completely unconscious. Maka looked to her friends for help, not knowing what else to do. Taking charge, Kid walked over and picked Luna up, carrying her princess style. "Come on," he said, looking over his shoulder at the rest of the gang. "We should get her to the infirmary. Once she wakes up, she will have some explaining to do". With that, Kid and his twin weapons carried the unconscious girl to balcony exit.

"WoW! What a way to start the morning, huh guys?" said Black*Star, returning to his usual hyper self. Tsubaki nodded in agreement with her meister but had a worried look on her face as she looked at the leaving trio. Soul reverted back to human form and helped Maka up from her feet. He tried to reassure her once he saw the sad expression on her face. "Don't worry about it Maka. You tried your best back there," he bared his shark-like teeth in a grin as he remembered the struggle. "The way you handled it was pretty cool". Though his comment brought a smile to her face, Maka was still concerned. What happened to back there to Luna?...

OMG! It's finally finished! It took me soo long to complete, what with all the Christmas shopping and studying for exams. So it done, and you now the drill:
