Soul Eater Brotherhood Part 10
*Sorry for the long waiting there. It's hard to write a story when you have to think of an antagonist. I thought of Father and Asura but the idea is plain ridiculous since they are dead or gone in the anime series. Please enjoy the rest of the chapter and beyond. Plus I added 2 new OC in this story.*
In an undisclosed location far from the US lies the secret location of witches. These magical, female-like creatures, not to be taken lightly as cartoons, are known for their well known sorcery and fierce natural enemies of the DWMA. Also, they're souls are used as the necessary components of making a demon weapon (such as Soul) into a Death Scythe, one of Lord Death's main weapons.
The Queen of all witches, by the name of Mabaa, ends the ceremonious Witch Mass with a distinct farewell expression to her fellow witches. A mysterious being, it said her power is equal that to Lord Death himself. However, Mabaa's strength began to diminish after the immortal werewolf known as Free plucked out her left eye, causing her powers to half than usual and her view of reality declining. But still, her authority over all witches is absolute, although her decision is questionable by her kin.
One of the witches who participated at the Witch Mass was Scylla Fantina. A 400 year-old witch of England, Scylla was notorious for massacring a small village in search of the Philosopher's Stone so she can overthrow The Queen and assume leadership over the authority of all witches. Despite of her age, Scylla has an appearance of a young 30 year-old woman. She wears a witch's signature costume, a long grey dress with a cloak, wearing a monocle on her left eye and donning a symbol of infinity on her cloak. Scylla is known to use the combination of science and witchcraft, making her one of the most dangerous witches to date.
After the Witch Mass, Scylla left with her loyal servant Igor following her. Igor is a Russian peasant who serves her mistress ever since Scylla's massacre of a small village centuries ago. Though he may look skinny and weak, Igor is armed with katars on each hand and extremely deadly in close combat. Despite being blind, his other senses had been enhanced, making him even lethal than before. He dons a black butler suit with his eyes covered in white bandages.
"It seems the old bag is losing her mind after that wretch witch Medusa Gorgon got herself killed by that meister" Scylla remarked in a cold English accent, "Who is this meister that made Medusa kicked the bucket? I comment that she has a lot of spirit in killing her."
"Her name is Maka Albarn, one of the strongest meisters of DWMA, mistress" Igor responded. He pulled an umbrella just in time for the rain to hit on Scylla.
"Is she the one who slew the mad god Asura?" she asked.
He nodded.
Scylla grunted. "So it seems my next target is to hunt down the meister's partner who has Black Blood inside of him. I'll have to examine that child's blood for research" she said, pulling a stick of cigarette on her mouth, "Igor, I want you to have a blood sample of Soul Eater Evans."
Igor lighted Scylla's cigarette. "Yes mistress" he said in an obedient tone, "As you wish."
Meanwhile, at Lord Death's Death Room, both he, Ed and Al sat in the table drinking tea together. Spirit, Jerso and Zampano are standing behind them making sure their friends are not endangered.
"So you've must Edward's brother Alphonse, correct?" Lord Death guessed, scratching his mask like he was supposed to scratch his chin.
Al nodded. "Yes sir" he replied politely, "I am Ed's younger brother."
"And these acquaintance of yours are?" he asked, curious about the two chimeras behind the boys, staring at them in curiosity.
"Name's Zampano" Zampano introduced.
"And I'm Jerso" Jerso added.
"I see" Lord Death said, sipping his tea, "What brings you here Alphonse?"
Al smiled. "Ed told me of this place so we can talk about our research" he replied.
"Is there a reason for us to be here?" Ed reminded.
"Now that you mention it" Lord Death said, "The reason why you're here is because I have something to tell both of you."
Silence loomed the Death Room. "It comes to my attention that both of you are in serious trouble" Lord Death said.
Ed sweat dropped. "It looks like I've done a lot of damage in your school, eh?" he muttered.
He waved his over sized hand. "No,no" Lord Death said, "Actually, I heard odd rumours that a witch would foolishly enter Death City."
"What do you mean sir?" Al asked.
"What I mean is..." he tried to explained, "Uh, Spirit, can you kindly tell them about these rumours. I'm kinda confused with it."
Spirit coughed. "Of course" he said.
"Who is this guy?" Al whispered.
"That guy is Death Scythe" Ed whispered back.
"Who's he?"
"Imagine Hughes with a long red hair wearing a blazer."
"Oh."
Spirit slams his palm on the table to make attention to the two boys. Unfortunately, it made Lord Death spill his drink in surprise.
"Yikes!" Lord Death shrilled, wiping the hot tea off his lap, "Hot tea, hot tea!"
"Sorry Lord Death" Spirit said apologetically.
This guy is nothing like Mr. Hughes Al thought.
"As I was saying" Spirit continued, ignoring Lord Death who fanning himself with an electric fan"Where did he get that?" Jerso asked, dumfounded), "We heard rumours about a witch who is very interested in the Philosopher's Stone."
"So what?" Ed interrupted, "What does the old bag want the Philosopher's Stone anyway? I couldn't imagine her being young again."
"There are times that witches don't use the Stone as a cosmetic item" Lord Death corrected, who was recently done fanning himself from the hot tea, "These witches are usually not depicted as old bags; they're actually young, even though they are a hundred years old such as I."
"They're hot" Spirit added.
Everyone stared at him.
"What?
"As a warning Ed, Al" Lord Death warned, "Watch out for these witches who were about to snatch that Stone of yours."
"Don't worry Lord Death" Al said with a determined voice, "Me and Big Brother will take care of it."
"Good" he said, clapping his hands, "You can go back to your rooms now."
Two new characters have emerged from the shadows: Scylla Fantina, the Demon Witch of England and Igor, the Blind Butler. Will the servant of the demon get what he needed for his mistress? Will the Philosopher's Stone be stolen from the Elric Brothers? Find out at the Next Soul Eater Brotherhood!
*I would again apologize for the long wait. For the past week, I have to go on a vacation and by the time I arrive home, I had an extreme Writer's Block. I hope you don't mind the long wait. Comments and reviews are welcome.*
