DEATH THE KID'S SECRET MISSION! THE FLAMES OF WAR ARE LIT!

(Heya everybody what's up? A lot of people seemed to like the Black Star chapter, so I'm doing another chapter to focus on fan favorite Death the Kid. This chapter has no relation to any manga or anime episode so from here on out a lot of the story is original. I'm putting a lot of focus on the four main meisters and their weapons. There will not be a time skip, I'm going with a back story I thought of for Ragnarok that fits pretty well with the soul eater universe. I really hope you all enjoy this chapter and my version of Death the Kid.)

Death the Kid was preparing for the mission of his life. He had been called to his father's room with Liz and Patty, but when they entered they were met with Kim Diehl. Kid remembered that Liz had once told him that Kim had long, pink vibrant hair when she entered the DWMA, but she later changed her outfit, cutting her hair to a far shorter length and she now wore an outfit consisting of a sports jacket, mini-skirt, sneakers, and thigh-length socks. According to other girls, under her sports jacket, she wore a white T-shirt with a tanuki insignia on the left. Kid would agree, with the other boys he had overheard, that her deep sky blue eyes as well as her dog-like ears were cute in a way, but to him her eyes had a distaste or anger when they looked at people. Approaching her, he held his hand out in greeting but she turned away from it bitterly.

"Death the Kid. Your father called me up here so I assume I'm meant to help you with something. You can call him on the mirror." she sat down on the ground while Kid used the mirror to call his father.

"Wazzup kiddo? Ahh Miss Diehi, thank you for coming." She nodded "You can tell my son and his partners your secret."

Kim frowned and looked like she was gonna argue, but then nodded and sighed. "I...I'm a witch..." Kid frowned and stared hard at her, but didn't move because if his father knew about this then there was no danger. Liz was wide-mouthed and looked shocked, while Patty looked confused.

Lord Death nodded and turned to address his son . "Kiddo I have chosen you for a very very crucial mission. I need you, Patty, and Liz to go into the Witches' Realm and investigate a prison that I fear is going to come under attack soon."

Kid looked shocked "T-the Witches' Realm?! That's a different dimension which is uphold by the magic of the witch Mabaa. A place where witches are the only people allowed to enter. People like us can't enter...without a witch's help." He frowned as realization bolted through him with a contemplating look. His eyes darted to regard the newcomer. "That's why you called Miss Diehi here, to send us there."

Patty bounced up to her meister and tilted her head with a curious expression. "What kind of prisoners would a witch dimension hold?"

Lord Death answered her. "Yes, that's why I called her here. To ask for her assistance, and Patty that prison holds very bad people, pre-kishins and witches alike."

Kim got up and began to leave "No, I'm sorry Lord Death, I told you I'd fight for the DWMA, but I will not sell out my own kind."

Lord Death held up his foamy hands in order to placate her. "This is will by no way endangering the witches, all this is for is surveillance. You have my word. You will also be payed for you help of course."

Kim stopped and looked back at them all. "Fine, I'll open a portal for them to enter and another when they desire to leave, and nothing more." She left, and Kid turned to his father.

"You knew there was a witch in your school, why didn't you tell anyone?"

Lord Death shook his head "All the adults in the school know about Miss Diehl's true heritage, while no students do except her partner and you three."

Liz thought of something before asking a question with a quiver of fear "Uhh a-about this prison you want us to investigate. I-is it haunted?"

Lord Death smiled and laughed "No no. It is just filled to the brim with dangerous criminals and witches."

Patty laughed and praised her sister "Aww don't worry about those baddies! My sis will beat them all!"

Liz started to tell Patty why that wouldn't work. Kid ignored the sisters and continued to interrogate his father. "How do you know there is going to be an attack on the prison? Why would we care if witches are attacked?"

Lord Death didn't speak for a minute and then sent Kid away with a vague answer "You will have to trust me Kid. I just know." Kid was gonna question him more, but Kim was back and ready to go.

"I'm not gonna wait so you three better be ready! Let's go!" Liz grumbled about bossy and Kid was forced to go too. Now the trio were facing a portal made by Kim to the Witches' Realm and a looming dark fortress stood towering above them. Kid, Liz and Patty were wearing a black stealth ninja suits that resembled Black Star and Tsubaki's.

There was symmetrical markings on his, but on Liz and Patty's there were fashion accessories. Kid made a mental note to thank Tsubaki for making the suits.

"Hey Tsubaki is really talented! I look great in this." Liz said, and Patty beamed in response. "Yep sis you're awesome! And you look amazing!"

Kid sighed and was gonna step through the portal, when Kim yelled at him. "You better be back here before the hour has passed! That's the longest I can hold the portal open. If you are not back before then - " Kid and the sisters walked through the portal, they could guess that she meant.

Entering the fortress wasn't easy, but Kid was able to quietly break a weak sector of the wall and sneak in. "I don't like this Kid. It's all spooky and dark and I bet there are ghosts here too! I heard a scream!" Patty pulled Liz by the hand saying words of encouragement. As they investigated the prison, they grew to actually appreciate the witches holding some of these inmates.

There were many who looked to be pure evil, others looked like normal humans but Kid used his untrained Soul Perception and saw that many were powerful pre-kishins, witches and sorcerers. Walking around, they had to dodge a witch here and there but no real trouble. While walking Kid felt a massive weight on his shoulder and he was put on his knees for a second, before he could stand again. Looking around, he found the person who was causing the power overload and a shiver of fear raked down his spine. Mabaa, the leader of the witches was there, she was extremely small in stature with the entirety of her diminutive frame being obscured by her domineering clothes, making it all but impossible to discern the remainder of her characteristics. Torn and overtly simplistic, this concealing attire gave no impression of the prestige and authority she held amongst her brethren, resulting in her depiction being suggestive of an unassuming individual, but Kid knew better.

Comprising of a black robe and a similarly dark cloak, the majority of her dress was adorned with various elongated safety pins with the only exception being her distinctive white hat, which was fashioned in such a manner as to depict a sharp-tooth, grinned face. There was a small observable gap between the brim of her hat and her cloak, which displayed tufts of grey hair and a bandage with "1/2" written across it covering her left eye. Kid guessed that was where her eye had been taken long ago, or so he had heard. He stared at the queen of the witches, he was staring at her overflowing soul and unbridled power. She was speaking to two witches who were at her side, and she sounded angry. "So what of the supposed attack?! We raised our defenses today because of this threat. If it were any other prisoner, we wouldn't be nearly as cautious but...prisoner 13 is dangerous..." Mabaa touched where her eye used to be "Very dangerous..."

One of the witches answered to calm Mabaa down. "Do not worry queen Mabaa. I personally made sure two witches are always watching the prisoner. Right now, Eruka Frog and one of the Mizune sisters are on duty."

Mabaa didn't look impressed nor calm at the news. "Well as long as someone is watching him, but I have a feeling something is coming...a sense of doom is looming over my vision."

Kid decided that he would go check on this Prisoner 13 and to figure out why he was so important. He feared something though, how did the witches also know about the so called attack that was supposed to happen? Kid had a foreboding feeling that this was a trap, but he knew that he had to check it out as a death god in training and as a DWMA student. Walking around following the numbers on the cells, he eventually made it to the cell in question, but stopped in time to hide as there were two witches standing guard. One was a woman of rather modest build with long, straight, silvery hair and a narrow mouth, accentuated by a prominent black circle at each end, resembling the air sacs on a frog's mouth. Her attire consisted of a thigh length black dress with a white polka dot pattern over what appeared to be a dark gray blouse, black pants and knee-high white boots. Arguably the most obtrusive characteristic of her appearance was her distinctive orange hat with a frog-like face, the hat looked like it occasionally mimicked her facial expressions. She also held a staff.

The other witch was relatively small, appearing more like a child than an adult. Only narrow closed eyes, a big grin, buck teeth, and short pink hair that frames either side of her face were visible of her facial features. Her body was concealed under a rather large black cloak, embellished with numerous vertical white stripes around its exterior and white lining that extended from around the nose downward, until reaching the ground. Her hat reinforced a mouse theme, featuring two curved extensions from the brim, forming ears and rounded eyes, while the peak acts as the mouse's nose.

There was a shape of a giant man in the shadows of the cell. A white cloth was covering his eyes. A woman in a dark cloak that was covering her face, walked into the light and the two witches looked angry. "You know you're not allowed to be here while this prison is on lockdown! Lady Medusa you are out of your bounds, and if you don't leave we will finally put you in your place! Right Mizore?"

The short witch squeaked in agreement "Chi Chi!"

The woman smiled and whispered. "I am on the path to ultimate power and no meister, weapon, kishin, or witch will stand in my way! Nake Snake Cobra Cobbra!" Two black snakes appeared and as fast as lightning shoved themselves into the mouths of the two witches, who immediately fell to the ground and tried pulling the snakes out of their throats. Liz and Patty wanted to go help, but Kid held them back. They shouldn't get involved if they can avoid it, that was their mission.

The two witches stood tired and sweaty, the taller one yelled at the one called Medusa, "What did you do to us, you snake! Together we'll kill you! Let's do this Mizore!" She pointed the staff at her and chanted.

"Fribbit Ribbit Cribbit Fribbit Cribbit Ribb-" She was cut off mid-chant as she was covered in blood, her friend had exploded in a eruption of blood and guts. "M-Mizore...MIZORE! NO!" She fell to her knees, and cried as Medusa approached and grabbed her throat.

"You're next Eruka. There is a snake in you also, it will tear you apart from the inside."

Eruka begged "Please...don't. I'll do anything."

A devilish smile spread across Medusa's features"I thought you might see things my way. You will serve me from now on or you will die. Now it is time to ignite the attack, I planned."

Kid finally made an appearance - having heard enough - , with the sisters in gun form, and got into a battle stance. "I knew you'd come! Now it's time to bring you to justice! By the order of the DWMA you are to be destroyed."

Medusa smile grew impossibly wider and she threw Eruka behind her. "Leave now, they will think you died in this attack. If you try to hide from me, you will die Eruka." Eruka whimpered and scampered away as commanded.

Kid stood his ground and began to fire at Medusa, but a line of black arrows appeared and absorbed the bullets. "Now that was impolite, especially for a son of Lord Death."

Kid was confused with her choice of words "A son of death? I'm the only son of Death."

Medusa laughed out loud as they circled each other. "Is that what he told you? Your precious father who would do anything for you? Well then ask him Kid, and see what else he has lied about!"

Kid grew angry and aimed at the witch "I've heard enough of this! Ready Liz, Patty?! SOUL RESONANCE!"

The sister nodded and yelled "Yeah ready when you are Kid!"

"Ok! Lets show that bad witch our skills!" Medusa didn't attack nor move as Kid charged his attack. "We're at a hundred percent Kid" "Time for the witch to say bye bye! HAHA!" Kid fired all his power at Medusa, who used a Vector Plate to move out of the way. The blast destroyed the lock that kept Prisoner 13 locked up, Kid had freed him and a siren began to ring signaling the witches were coming.

Medusa used a Vector Plate to elbow Kid hard in the face, sending him into a wall and she went to the prisoner, who was a tall, attractive man with a rather muscular build, apparently seeming to be in his thirties, with some facial hair unkempt. On his right shoulder he had a tattoo of unknown form, which resembled an eye. His eyes were covered. he was wearing his prison clothes, complete with a ball and chain on his left leg and black and white striped prisoner pants. "Wolf man, robber of the great old witch, Mabaa's eye. It is I, the witch Medusa that frees you from the witches, now you have to serve me till the debt is repaid."

The man stood "Of course! But we need to call me something...I'm free now so just call me Free!"

Medusa nodded then remembered something. "I order you to go to the one with this smell and protect her." Medusa gave Free a piece of a shirt and he took a deep sniff of the fabric.

"I understand, but how do I leave?"

Kid fired a barrage of bullets "You're not going anywhere! You tricked me once, not again!"

Ignoring the teen, Medusa pulled out a device. "Oh Kid you aren't the only one who was tricked tonight. Why do you think all the witches aren't here yet?"

It hit Kid hard as the thought sunk in deep. "Oh shi-" Medusa pushed the button and the sounds of explosions and screams echoed as the prison exploded. The criminals and witches were not spared and when Kid collected himself, Free was already gone and Medusa stood alone within the gaping hole in the wall.

"Well looks like I win Kid. I thank you for your role in this, it wouldn't have been possible without you."

Kid ran at her "You WITCH!" Medusa jumped backwards screaming and Kid looked out the hole, just to meet a screaming crowd of witches.

"He pushed her!",

"It's Death's son!",

"He bombed the prison!",

"Kill him!"

Kid was forced to leave so he ran back to his portal. Kid feared what this failure would mean for the future, If they all thought he was responsible for Free's escape, they may turn to war as a way to get revenge. The witch, Medusa, had played them all and won. Kid looked at his watch, five minutes left. He was cutting it close, too close. He jumped through the portal as Kim dropped it and fell due to exhaustion. He was met with Stein and his father, who were looking deadly serious.

"Kid, what happened!? The witches are scrambled and many are dead, I thought your father told you to not attack."

Kid stuttered "T-there was a witch that blew up the prison! She released the man that stole Mabaa's eye! She tricked me into taking the blame..."

Liz and Patty came to Kid's defense "It wasn't his fault!"

"Yeah it was the bad snake lady!"

Stein pulled out a smoke and lit it, giving the bolt sticking out of his head a few turns. "Looks like this day was all planned and we all were played, the DWMA, the witches, and even the pre

-kishins were all just pawns."

Lord Death interrupted "Well it's ok, tomorrow's another day! Liz, Patty, Please take Kim and Kid to the infirmary. You will find a friend there. Thank you for your work tonight."

They took the two meisters inside, leaving Stein alone with Lord Death. "You were lying weren't you"

Lord Death sighed "Big time...We must get ready too, Stein. War is coming."
