Chapter 7: Ride Into the Night!
The Hunter of Horsemen!
Trudging through the snow was bad enough, but now we have to go fight a phantom. I sigh. What next, a snow monster? I mentally chuckled. A snow monster. How cheesy is that? My thought process was cut short by a ball of ice soaring straight at me.
"Look alive!" Shouted kythe. My hand shoots up and catches the snowball midair.
"You know, you're going to have to do better than th-!" I'm cut off as another snowball gets to know my face. Appearantly, they didn't get along so well. I get up out of the snow after being flattened by a ball of ice. Kythe is rolling in the snow laughing. Scar is leaning against a tall pine.
Steamed, I start shouting. "Alright, who do I get to beat the crap out of first!?" I shout. Kythe is still laughing when he says, "Well, that wasn't me." He gestures to Scar, who suddenly decided to start moving again.
I cooled off, so I just shrugged and said, "That guy has one heck of an arm. Come on, we don't want to have emo-boy get to the prize first."

After about an hour of more hiking through the snow, we came to an old barn. Scar stopped and held out his arm for us to do the same. He checked the folded up mission report, then spoke.
"According to the report, this is where the creature has been seen the most." He walks up to the door. "We have to be very careful with what we do from here on out." Then he lifts up his leg and smashes open the door.
"You idiot! What if it heard you!?" I shouted.
"Relax, you can use soul perception, right?" He said. "Just take a look."
"How did you...? Nevermind." I said. Wow, he figuered that out quickly. I focused my soul wavelength to my eyes and scanned the area. The barn was relatively quiet and empty, save a mouse or spider. Just to be safe, I looked around into the surrounding trees. All I could find was a group of deer, a rabbit and...something else. I looked more closely. It appeared to be three kishin souls closely packed together. A phantom.
"Kythe, weapon mode now!" I exclaimed. He transformed, and Scar lept up to the top of the barn. I followed, and we were hit with a powerful shockwave. The screech was coming from a large, gray, winged creature. It had humanoid features, but a smashed in, owl-like face.
Scar stepped forward and pulled out a kunai. "Shut up!" He shouted as he threw the kunai at the creature. The knife passed though its face, but caused it to stop temporarily. I took the apportunity to prepare an attack.
"No fair, you can fly." I said as I jumped at it. "Let's clip those wings!"
I slash the blade in an "X" pattern and the wings distort, long enough to send the creature spiraling toward the snow. The creature glows and shoots into the snow. I land and search around for him.
"What the heck? Where did he go? We had him." Sounded Kythe's metallic voice from the scythe. I switched on my soul perception and scanned. Up, right, left, behind, that leaves... I never finish my thought as the snow starts flowing like water up to a single area. An enormous monster made of snow and ice stood in front of us. It picked up a huge, icy claw and swung it at us.
"Oh, come on! Snow monsters? Really?" I shout as I roll out of the way. "Kythe, prepare for soul resonance." I said.
Suddenly, chains shot out from within the trees and plunged into the creature's body. Scar stepped out with his arms stretched out as if for an embrace.
"Feel my power. Soul Resonance!" Shouted Scar. The chains connected to the creature split and multiplied, becoming engulfed in a dark, surreal flame. Scar's clothing changed, becoming a long, tattered cloak. The energy emanating off of his body instantly vaporized the surrounding snow.
The creature writhed in pain as the shadowy flames consumed its body. Scar looked at the creature.
"Soul Resonance! Headless Horseman Hunter!"
"Now for the finishing blow." He said. He folded his arms back against his body as if hugging someone. "I call this one Death's Embrace." The chains tightened and the phantom exploded, its core having been torn apart by Scar's attack. In its place were three kishin egg souls. I looked to Scar.
"That, children, is how you kill a phantom." He said with a blank face and plain voice. He then turned and walked back to the camp.

Darin: Hey Kenshi, I thought Kythe and I were supposed to kill the phantoms.
Kenshi: Just thought I would twist it up a bit. Don't want the reader to get bored.
Drake: Screw the readers! Get back to the action!
Darin: Who's this guy?
Kenshi: New OC for next chapter. You'll see.
Scar: KenshiThe9th does not own Soul Eater, just Darin and Kythe. I belong to Mayurisane5.
Kythe: Until next time. Patty, take us out!
Patty: BYE!
