Maka and Kid stopped laughing and got alert immediately.
"Where are they heading?" Kid asked seriously, getting into leader mode.
"By the direction, it seems they are heading to the secret entrance in the back of the kingdom, near our castle. I don't understand, how would they even know about it...?" Black*Star trailed off, then shook his head and looked back to Kid. "It's not a lot of soldiers, just about 10 or 15, enough for a rescue patrol." He looked to Maka.
Maka gasped. "You think they're here for me?" She asked.
Black*Star nodded and looked back to Kid. "What will we do?"
Kid put a hand to his chin in thought. "This would be a great opportunity to get more recruits..." He murmured. "Alright, bring 15 soldiers with us along with Maka, we will go confront them." Kid ordered and left the room.
Black*Star grabbed Maka's hand and ran out of the room and towards the entrance to the castle.
"Where are we going Black*Star?" Maka asked.
"We are going to gather soldiers. Since we're in the middle of war, the soldiers stay at a little camp and train for five days, and rest for five days. Luckily for us, it's day three so they aren't at their individual houses." Black*Star explained.
Maka realized how prepared they were, and smiled at their little system. "That's cool." She commented.
They arrived at a campsite full of tents and training dummies. "Everyone get out here now! This is Black*Star and we have an emergency!" He called. At once, a bunch of soldiers rushed out of their tents and gathered around the two teens.
"Alright, we have Amako soldiers heading this way to probably reclaim something they've lost!" He glanced at Maka. "But the thing they want to reclaim has joined forces with us, so we must not let her be taken away!" Black*Star called.
At first, the soldiers looked at each other with confusion on their faces, then determination crossed their eyes and they smirked. "Yeah!" They shouted.
"Let's head out! Kid's already waiting for us!" Black*Star shouted before running away, Maka's hand still in his. The soldiers shouted again before running after them.
Kid looked up in front of him where he saw a handful of soldiers coming up towards the back entrance. He looked behind him and smirked when he saw a good 15 soldiers running with Black*Star in the lead. Kid and him high-fived and smirked.
"Glad you could make it Black*Star, now let's go meet with our enemy." Kid said and walked casually to them with the soldiers behind him. Maka glanced around them nervously and ran up to Kid.
"I... I don't feel comfortable walking with your soldiers since I haven't met them yet." Maka fumbled with her words in embarrassment. Kid chuckled and continued walking.
They met up with the Amako soldiers. Maka was surprised to see her friend, Liz, in the lead instead of her mother.
Kid looked at them with bored eyes. "Still want to come here? Didn't we just kick your asses two or three days ago?" He asked.
Liz growled and pulled out her greatsword. "Shut up Kid! We came to pick up our friend! We'll take her by force if we have to!" Liz shouted.
Kid chuckled and looked to Maka. "Would you like to tell your friends your decision?" Kid asked her.
Liz, Tsubaki, and Patty looked to Kid and Maka in confusion. "What does he mean by your decision Maka?" Tsubaki asked.
Maka took a deep breath and faced them bravely. "I have decided to fight against Amako with Dhova!" She announced.
A deadly silence.
Liz, Tsubaki, and Patty looked to her in shock. "W-What?" Liz asked quietly.
Maka continued to face her friends. "I am sick of all the fighting! If we end this quickly, then we'll live in peace! Please understand Tsubaki, Patty, Liz." She looked to all her friends.
It took a minute, but they eventually smiled. Liz was about to say something, but was cut off by loud screeching over on the Amako side.
Much to everyone's shock, the soldiers ran forward, ignoring their leaders orders.
"Get ready everyone! They're not playing around!" Kid yelled and ran forward too. Another battle was about to begin. Liz and Tsubaki were trying to shout a "stop" order but the soldiers ignored her and clashed with the Dhova soldiers, hard, and not kidding. Maka got out of the way and joined with her friends at the side.
"What do we do?! I didn't even order them to fight!" Liz shouted angrily. Maka was painfully aware of Kid slowly losing control again as he cornered two soldiers and sliced their necks open, clean and quick.
"We have to stop the fighting before they all die!" Maka shouted over the screaming.
Patty charged into battle against the Amako soldiers. Tsubaki, Liz, and Maka shared a look and smirked before following Patty.
Black*Star looked over his shoulder to see Kid... Just killing everything in his path. He sighed, knowing what he had to do before he starts fighting against his own soldiers.
Black*Star ran over to Kid and grabbed both of his arms from behind.
Kid immediately struggled and glared at him. "Let go of me mortal!" He screamed and attempted to kick Black*Star. Black*Star was shocked that Kid had called him "mortal", but kept his grip anyways. Kid had never said that in his life to him.. Ever...
"No Kid! You'll kill everyone including Maka! Don't do this and just sit to the side, please!" He pleaded.
It looked like Kid's sanity had come back, as painful realization dawned on him. Kid bowed his head in defeat and went limp. "You're right Black*Star.." He whispered.
Black*Star dragged Kid away and sat him down on a rock. "I'm sorry buddy, I know that you love this stuff and all but... I just don't want to see you depressed if..." He trailed off. Kid nodded his head.
"Just go finish this off quickly before I can't help myself." Kid said. Black*Star nodded with a smile and ran back into the crowd.
After another painfully slow 15 minutes, the fighting soldiers of Amako glared at them and retreated. Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki stayed behind.
"Aren't you going back?" Kid asked as he got up.
Liz, Tsubaki, and Patty looked to each other, then Maka, then back to Kid.
"We are staying here, with our friend and help you fight against Amako."
Again, a REALLY rushed ending, but this is how it had to end. And, it's somewhat late here so I just... Made a bad ending... Gomenasai! *bows head*
And again, with the cliffhanger... Sorry about that too.
Review anyway and tell me if you understand this and if you liked it :D Even this part is bad...
