A/N: Here's the next addition to the story and it's coming close to the end so here you go also very sorry I meant for the last prologue to be in this chapter not the chapter before so I'm really sorry.
Chapter 7: A Party with "Friends"
"It's all my fault." After what happened I woke in a hospital bed with my aunt Sophia holding my hand and watching me sadly. "It's all my fault." She took me to her house after she told me what happened. "It's all my fault." She and uncle Giovanni brought me up to my new room, as they led me I walked past my cousin Ricardo. "It's all my fault." I started crying as soon as they left me alone. "It's all my fa- wait no it's not my fault." My tears went dry "It's all her fault, she did all of this to me." I bit my lower lip so hard I started to bleed "I'm going to find her and kill her."
"So don't you guys forget, the party's tomorrow at my house!" Maka said to Blackstar, Tsubaki, Patty, Liz, Kid and Crona who nodded in response as they walked away. "So come on we should get everything ready for tomorrow." Soul said while walking "Not yet we didn't invite everyone yet." Maka smiled
Soul looked at her confused then realized what she meant by that "Wait, you are actually going to invite them." He asked and Maka nodded in response, they then started walking in the direction of the forest near the school.
"Why do you even want to invite them, well Frieden is cool but Morte is – Ow" Before Soul could finish the spine of a hardcover book collided with his head "Don't say stuff like that! If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here. We owe him this at the very least."
Soul sighed "Are you sure that they're even here." Soul asked "Yeah, they said that they usually train here on Friday's, see there they are." They saw Morte wielding Frieden in weapon form training with a hollow wooden mannequin. Morte was in his Superior Defender stance and Frieden activated his chains.
He then changed Frieden to a forward grip from a reverse grip and lunged forward so quickly that Maka nearly missed it. When he stopped he was behind the mannequin which had a large gash in the abdomen, Maka then noticed that Morte was not holding Frieden anymore, then a large blue light came from the gash in the mannequin and Frieden changed back into his human form and broke the mannequin.
"Another failed attempt." Morte said turning to his weapon who was rubbing his head "Hey at least it went better than last time, it'll work out soon enough we just need more practice." Frieden said trying to cheer up his technician, he then noticed Soul and Maka.
"Hey guys, what exactly are you two doing?" Maka asked "We are trying a new technique that if done right will let Frieden pierce through the enemy and stay inside to cause internal damage." Morte said calmly and Maka had a look of nervousness now, his wound was better but most people didn't notice because he replaced his torn sleeve.
"Hey, I'm having a party tomorrow I invited some people and I was just curious to know if you two wanted to come?" Maka asked shyly "Well actually …" Frieden started "Sure, why not we'll bring some food too." Morte finished, and made Maka smiled "Great we'll see you two tomorrow at 1 pm, don't be late."
When Maka and Soul left Frieden questioned "I thought we were going on a mission tomorrow?" Morte started walking away "It's rude to decline such a nice invitation." Frieden put his hands behind his head "Well what are you going to bring then?"
"Hey guys, glad you made it." Soul said as Blackstar and Tsubaki entered the apartment "Good you guys made it." Liz said "Yay, we can start eating now." Patty said joyfully "Wait, everyone hasn't arrived yet." Maka cried
Everyone was confused "Who else are we waiting for? Everyone's here even Crona and Ragnarok." Kid said while gesturing towards the demon sword technician who was sitting in the corner. The doorbell suddenly rang and Blair went to answer it "Don't worry I'll get it!" She said cheerfully as she opened the door before Maka was able to stop her.
She opened the door and froze, she didn't move for a few moments before transforming into her cat form and running away screaming, everyone watched her run away before looking back at the door and seeing Morte walk inside with Frieden behind him holding a large container "Good afternoon." Blackstar then got up and walked closer to him.
Morte obliged him and stepped forward as well, they stopped when they were only a meter away, they both raised their right fists and clashed into each other's faces they were both pushed back a bit but Blackstar took out a kunai and attempted to stab him.
His kunai was deflected by a butterfly knife and Morte proceeded to punch Blackstar in the gut pushing him back but before it connected he had been able to punch Morte in his face breaking his nose. "You're not getting out of this alive, bastard!" "Let's agree to disagree!" They both took their stances and were about to lunge at each other.
"Alright, enough both of you!" Maka said not wanting her home to become a battlefield, they both looked at her before lowering their weapons "He started it, he crashed our party!" Blackstar yelled "He's here because I invited him, idiot!" Maka yelled back, "Not bad." Everyone heard as they turned to Morte "You've improved since the last time we fought not many people do when they fight me."
He then stood straight and made a cracking sound as he put his nose back into shape "You may be right, if I were to fight you again it would be far more difficult." Blackstar smirked "What do you expect from a god." "Of course, there is only one way to truly know." He said almost smiling.
"Okay, before another fight breaks out we brought some pasta." Frieden said holding the container up and wanting to avoid more conflict "Thanks guys." Maka said smiling, she then took the container and opened it and the room was filled with an amazing smell of the pasta coated in melted cheese which was still warm.
They then started eating their lunch, for the most part it was very quiet because of Morte and Frieden being there but Tsubaki tried to break the silence "This is amazing Frieden!" Everyone nodded "Yes it's delicious, you really know how to cook." Kid agreed, Frieden started blushing.
"Well thanks but I didn't make it, Morte did." He said gesturing to his technician eating his bowl of pasta in the corner, again the room was silent but Maka didn't like that "How did you make it, it's delicious!" She exclaimed "Thank you, Miss-uh Maka." He said while correcting himself "Could you teach me how to make it?" She asked "Well yes it's an old family recipe, its quiet simple first you need to-"
"She's cute isn't she?" He heard a voice that he hadn't heard in years say in his head, he then froze and proceeded put the bowl to his side and got up quietly "Morte, what's wrong?" Frieden asked concerned for his technician. "She's here, in Death city."
With that he ran to the door and ran out "Morte!" Maka screamed as she and Frieden ran behind him and everyone else did the same for Maka, Morte kept running through Death City before finally stopping in front of one of the houses in the city and breaking the door down and went in, Maka finally got there and saw him standing in the house.
"Morte what is it?" She asked him from outside the house, he didn't answer so she went inside and screamed when she saw what he was looking at, a couple was in the center of the wall they were facing, they were chopped in half and on the wall with their blood wrote "Too bad you couldn't save them, but for now let's meet up in Russia." –Viv
"That bitch." Morte said roughly, he then pulled back his left sleeve and bit his arm and it started to bleed. "Guys what is-Ah!" Frieden said as he walked in "Come on, Frieden." Morte said to his partner as he transformed and they ran to the academy past everyone else.
Everyone else including Maka did their best to follow the duo into the building and missed them go into the death room where Morte and Lord Death were talking, Morte started walking away "Morte wait recently there was a witch that went missing, I believe she's the one that killed her so it's possible she's already a Death scythe." Morte kept walking "I don't care about that, I just need to know where she is."
"Wait! What's happening, what was that message on that wall?" Maka screamed wanting answers, Morte then stopped dead in his tracks, Lord Death looked at her "It's a bit complicated." Morte then turned to her.
"The kishin that killed my parents, was a graduate from the DWMA." Maka's heart sank "Oh I'm sorry." "Not just that the reason she went for my family is because" He turned his head to face her "She's my older sister."
