I do not own KHR or Soul Eater
Chapter 10
"So where is this guy so we can beat him," yelled Black Star as he looked around. Tsubaki was already in her chain scythe mode ready for battle
"Black Star don't just yell out we are looking for someone what if they backed off knowing we are looking for them," Yelled Maka. Soul eater was also in his weapon form
"I quite agree. I would have figured a member of the star clan would have known better," said a high pitched voice below them. They turned to see the source of the voice only for the figure to hit Black Star in the gut sending him flying.
Reacting quickly Maka jumped away putting soul in front of her in a defensive position. "Are you the one who has been attacking students," yelled Maka. She looked around for bystanders but saw most of them started to flee after Black Star was kicked away.
"They would not give me the answers I wanted," said Reborn.
"And what would that be," asked Maka.
"The location of one Tsunami Sawada," said Reborn.
"What do you want Tsunami for," asked Maka.
Reborn gained a slight smirk and said, "So you do know her. As for what I need her for let's just say she's needed for the family business."
"And if she wants nothing to do with it," Maka asked. She remembered Tsunami recently going on a ten hour rant about her Birth father and his connections to the true mafia.
"You would be surprised what illusionist can do with memories," said Reborn. While partially true most mist could rework people's memories with ease a strong sky like tsunami would most likely break the manipulation within a week at most. Before he could continue he sensed someone behind him. He jumped up just avoiding a chain scythe. "So you do know what stealth is"
"Why should I worry about stealth? I'm the man who will surpass god," said Black Star. "So you might as well give up because we are not letting you take Tsunami anywhere"
"We shall see," said Reborn as Leon turned into a Tonfa.
"What is that chameleon a weapon," asked Maka in shock at the transforming chameleon. Reborn let out a small smile as he had asked death the same thing. Lord death had said it was not a true weapon as it can never be a death scythe but it still retained the ability to transform.
"Maybe, maybe not," said Reborn as he charged at Maka and put her on the defensive. Seeing she was in trouble Black Star ran to them and tried to attack Reborn. Reborn easily dodged the attacks and kept on the offensive. Eventually Leon turned into a gun and Reborn fired a shot of sun flames into Black Star immobilizing him temporarily.
"Now that the loud mouth is out of the way," said Reborn as he attacked Maka again with earnest. Maka tried to switch to the offensive but Reborn was too fast and strong for her to do much else but dodge and block his blows.
"Dammit Maka, this baby is making a fool of us," yelled Soul. "We are going to need more power."
"More power," said Maka. "We could try to match our wavelengths but that hasn't been successful in the past."
"So what it's us were talking about," said Soul. "I'm sure we can do it."
"Okay let's try," said Maka as she jumped back and started to focus on matching her wavelength with soul."
Seeing this Reborn decided to take a more cautious approach. If there was anything he learned from fighting Tsunami it was that he had to be cautious with soul resonance. Tsunami almost won their fight because he got caught in that lions roar. The blade of Soul started to get covered in energy and enlarged to a larger size. Maka than charged at reborn getting ready to swing at him. "Witch hunter," She yelled as she swung at him. He easily dodged the attack and laughed as she slipped and launched the attack wave towards Black Star who was starting to move again. That caused Reborn to raise an eyebrow since he should still be immobile for a few more minutes.
"If that's the best you got you might as well give up. She will probably be better off anyway without weaklings like you around her," said Reborn.
"Weaklings," said Black Star as he started to get up. "That's funny how I can be weakling when I'm the man who will surpass god." As he got ready to fight all he could think about was how he was not going to let him take Tsunami away. She was the first person to actually believe in his dream to surpass god. Not dismiss it or laugh at him when he claimed it but the first to truly believe in him and believe he would succeed. Only Tsubaki has ever shared in her belief and there was no way he was going to let her get taken away like this. He will protect her.
Suddenly green lightning started to flow from black star and entering into Tsubaki.
"What is this," asked Tsubaki as she tried to hide her wince from the pain it caused.
"I don't know but I'm going to use it," said Black Star as he charged straight at Reborn.
"A lightning," Reborn said. Due to how close she was Maka had heard what he said. He tried to fire several shots at black star but his flames managed to block all the shots.
"Ready Tsubaki," yelled Black Star.
"Yes," said Tsubaki as they started to focus on controlling the chain of the chain scythe.
Seeing an opening Maka charged in to back up Black Star. She had swung down on Reborn only for him to jump to the side at the last moment. He fired a trio of shots at her that she managed to either dodge or deflect them. Maka followed suit by swinging Soul parallel with the ground causing Reborn to jump up.
"Got you now trap star," said Black Star as the chain encircled Reborn trapping him and Maka.
"What the hell," Yelled Maka. "Why did you get me to?"
"Well it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't gotten in my way," said Black Star laughing about the situation. Maka on the other hand was trying to reach Black Star so she could beat him.
Lord Death room
"Well they cut it close," said Tsunami as she leaned on a chair in the room. "I'm surprised Black Star awoke his flames though."
"Indeed and with the sibling relationship you two have I won't be surprised if you harmonized with him right away," said Lord Death.
"So know they just have to find the source of the leak," asked a kid the same age as tsunami with black hair and three white stripes on the left side of his head. He was wearing a tailored suit with a skull like tie. "Do you know who it is?"
"Yes, I'm sure you are aware of my current death scythe and the partner who trained him," said Lord Death.
"You mean auntie," asked Tsunami. She had grown to see Maka's mother as an aunt with how much the girls hung out.
"Not quite you see she was actually Spirits second partner," said Lord Death.
"So the leak is the first partner," asked Tsunami. She knew of the test but not who was selected.
"Yes he is quite possibly the strongest person to ever graduate from the academy. The man behind this is Dr. Franken Stein," said Lord Death.
'HIM,' yelled tsunami in her head. He was the guy that wanted to dissect her during her first month in Death City in order to see how flames affect her organically. She has made it a point once she learned soul perception to be on the opposite side of Death City to him. She would even call in sick if he was hanging around the academy. Sid would even cover for her after he found out why.
I'm not proud of the way the fight turned out but out of all the scenarios this was the best one. I'll try to make better fight scenes in the future because I know I can I just had trouble imagining this fight. As for her fear of Stein it's not going away any time soon.
