Chapter 7: Kim/Jackie/Blair Vs. The Lord of Flies

The two blonde women stood next to the lockers. Maka was sliding her hands across the lockers looking for the right one. Marie had noticed the wedding ring on her finger, she was jittery just forcing herself not to ask.

"You want to ask about the ring?" Maka as smiling, she knew that it was killing the marriage obsessed teacher not to ask

"You got married! Who did you marry?"

"I told the others when they asked that I married Stein."

"WHAT?" Marie shouted clearly upset.

"I didn't." Maka looked down on her ring again.

"Is something wrong?"

"I just miss him. Since the first time when we were together are souls have always been connected. I always knew were he was, I could always feel him. He could always feel me. But now for the first time in a long time it feels like I'm alone."

Marie placed her hand on Maka's shoulder to reassure her that it would be alright. Then Maka found the locker she was looking for. Maka tried to open a combination lock.

"Should you really be trying to open that locker?" Marie asked

"It's fine" Maka assured her "It's my locker I'm just trying to remember the combination." Maka finally got the locker open and quickly searched through it pulling out a snack bar "I always kept a few in here incase of an emergency."

As Maka started to to unwrap the bar and Marie asked "That's it, that's the emergency?"

"No, I'm just hungry."

"So what's the emergency?"

"I need your help to stop Stein."

"What about Stein?"

"You care about Stein right?" Maka asked and Marie nodded gently "Well if you don't help me Stein is going to do something and he will never be able to forgive himself because of it."

"What?"

"I need you to help me stop him from killing his students."

Marie gasped and Maka took a bite from the snack Bar.

Across the city a rip in space formed it looked like a blood red gash in the air. Kim was high above it getting ready for her part of this attack, but looking at the gash she felt power emanating from it, it scared her. Blair the small purple cat floating on he pumpkin looked at the pink haired witch, she wanted to say something to comfort her but couldn't find the words, she felt the power coming from it off the rip and it scared her, it felt dark and cold. Blair summoned up a large pumpkin in her pawn and readied her aim. Twelve figures fell out of the rip and it sealed behind them. Kim pointed Jackie downwards shooting several balls of fire.

The pumpkin Blair had in her paw grew huge she threw it downwards yelling "Smashing pumpkins!"

The attacks landed on the ground the several small explosions created a smoke screen. The first thing out of the smoke was a black figure that moved fast and flew through the air towards the school.

"Oh no we have to after it" Kim told Blair still floating on her pumpkin.

But Blair didn't get a chance to to say anything as the sound of buzzing quickly overpower any other sound. The buzzing came from a man flying towards them with fly like wings. He wore raggedy black clothes and had two large segmented eyes. His skin was gray and cracked, his arms and legs were spindly and a thick drool dripped from his mouth.

His appearance was not a big issue compared to the smell of rotten garbage that he emitted.

"Oh you stink." Kim stated it.

"I got it" Blair created another pumpkin and threw it at the fly man "Smashing Pumpkin!"

Before the pumpkin could even make contact with the fly man turned into a black swarm of flies and engulfed the pumpkin. The swarm ate away the pumpkin before turning back into the man.

"Thanks for the snack." his voice was gravel in a cement mixer and he twitched uncontrollably. "But did you think you could kill the Lord of Flies so easily?"

"No, I guess well have to try harder." Kim told him

Blair screamed "Halloween Canon!" shooting a large canon ball that looked like a carved pumpkin.

Kim used Jackie to fire a large fireball. The Lord of the Flies turns into a swarm and dodges both attacks before shifting back to his human form.

Then he turned his attention to Blair "A cat with magik. They say that cats have nine souls, I wonder if that's true."

He rushed towards the the cat, he turned into the swarm Blair managed to jump off if it and Kim caught her before her pumpkin was swallowed.

The swarm grew larger and larger "That cat is only the appetizer I will feast on you two girls souls."

Kim flew off as quickly as she could manage while throwing fire balls at the swarm but every time an attack came close it would spread apart to avoid the attack. While holding on the Kim's back Blair started to toss as many pumpkins as she could. A few of the pumpkins managed to explode but all that managed to do is spread out the swarm before it reformed but most ended up being swallow by the swarm before they had a chance to explode. Kim gave look to see the Lord of Flies engulf the pumpkins, knowing what she knew as a witch she figured he was eating the magic the pumpkins were made up making himself stronger. Kim thought about asking Blair to stop but the pumpkins were enough to slow down the swarm otherwise they would have been caught already. Jackie and Kim maneuvered as quickly as they could and the exploding pumpkins made the sky into a battlefield. Kim flew Jackie back into the minefield of exploding pumpkins hoping to get the swarm of flies close enough to one of the pumpkins to get him. Kim maneuvered between the pumpkins, she had to be quick any second anyone could explode and if she got too close it could set it off. One of the pumpkins exploded and sending the girls into a downwards spiral, Kim grabbed Jackie's handle feeling that she was loosing consciousness, Kim sent her wavelength pulling her back into consciousness while Jackie pulled them both upwards before hitting the ground. Blair holdings to Kim for dear life as the swarm kept up with them every single twist and turn. They went up high in the air, Kim felt safe in the air usually she trusted Jackie to keep her safe in the air but right now that didn't seem like an option. She thought back to everything Maka had said and everything she had seen from Lord of Flies do.

The Lord of Flies was keeping up with them every move they made,he was faster then them the pumpkins were only slow lying him down, he would swallow every single pumpkin he could and take what power he could from them, any fire attack from Jackie or even Blair's cannon he would just doge them. He dodged those attacks but didn't even bother to avoid the exploding pumpkins but her fire attacks he would. Kim thought maybe he dodge fire because it could hurt him, but she couldn't get him to stay together enough to use any attack like that. Then Kim had an idea, it was risky it could get her killed it might not work but if she didn't do something the Lord of Flies would get her.

"Blair I need you to make a pumpkin, a big one."

"But how is that going to help," Blair asked "he just keeps eating them."

"Just trust me I have an idea. Jackie I'm going to need a lot of fire. Do you think you can do it?"

"Yes." The weapon answered

"Ready, go."

Blair formed the largest pumpkin she could and tossed straight at the swarm of flies, yelling at the top of her Lungs "SMASHING PUMPKINS!"

The swarm started to feed of the pumpkin being bigger than the swarm itself it took it longer to devour than it had the other pumpkins.

Kim turned Jackie towards the pumpkin and shot a massive ball of fire towards the pumpkin, engulfing flames covered pumpkin and the swarm that fed off it. There was a huge explosion that nearly threw the girls out of the air. Kim fixed her goggles to see a small red sphere in the air. When they got close Jackie's handle turned into a hand grabbing the corrupted soul.

Jackie sighed "One down several more to go."

They looked down to were the several separate battles tore through the square, they headed downwards to help out anyway they could.
