Chapter 10
One month later…
"Well, it seems your health is back up to par and your souls are also back up to full strength," Stein said while he analyzed a clipboard with Maka's health info.
"Thanks Professor," Maka said as she hopped off the hospital bed. "Is Soul ok too?"
"Yes, he's fine. No worries with him," Stein replied as he set the clipboard down and led Maka back to the waiting room.
As they walked into it, Maka saw Soul sitting in a seat flipping through a magazine with a bored expression. A grin immediately overtook Maka's face, which must have been really bright because Soul glanced up immediately. Maka ran over to him as he smiled and got up.
He caught her in a hug and asked, "Hey babe, how'd it go?"
"It went ok. Professor Stein said that I'm back up to full strength," Maka replied, as she flexed her arm with a grin.
"You two are very lucky. Who knows what that new Resonance could have done to you," Stein said as he strut over to the young couple.
"Yeah, glad nothing bad happened," Soul said as he wrapped an arm around Maka's waist and pulled her close. "Wouldn't want anything to happen to my beautiful meister."
Maka blushed at the last part and elbowed him playfully while he grinned a great big smile at her.
"Anyways… What was this I heard about you training?" Stein interrupted, which Maka was relieved at because she's pretty sure everyone was staring at them.
"The training is- eep" Maka began before being interrupted by Soul pinching her behind. She proceeded to glare at him violently before continuing. "The training is to perfect Perfect Resonance so that we can be ready for the Kishin. You said yourself that the Black Blood barrier that Chrona put around the moon is weakening."
"Thatistrue; however I don't want you doing any extensive training. Just little stuff, you still have time before the barrier deteriorates," Stein said as he cranked the big screw in his head.
"We know, we know. We're just gonna do some soul exercises. Not like our souls can't handle that," Soul said, coolly, as he shoved his hands in his pockets.
"How much time do you think is left, Professor?" Maka asked as she tried to figure out how to divide their time into rest and training.
Stein clicks his bolt into place and pauses momentarily in thought.
"It's deteriorating fairly slowly, so about 6 months," he finally replied.
"Not a lot of time," Soul began. "Rushing is uncool so I guess slacking off is out of the question."
Maka elbowed him playfully to which he grinned his famous crooked grin. Maka turned to Stein, nodded, and lead Soul back to their apartment. They have a lotof work to do.
Two months later…
Maka sighed a heavy, tired sigh as she plopped down on the couch and kicked off her shoes.
"Hey be careful with the TV," Soul reprimanded. "Don't hit it with those giant boots you call shoes."
Maka smirked and tilted her head back against the top of the sofa.
"Sorry, I'm just exhausted. Those training courses get harder every day," she said with a huff.
"S'not that hard," Soul mocked as he poured his meister and himself some water.
"Says the guy who stays transformed while I run like a maniac!" Maka growled as she received the water. She gulped the glass down in a second while Soul chuckled.
"Least we can relax now. It's not cool to get overworked and we still have 4 months left," Soul said before he plopped himself down on the couch next to his meister. They placed their glasses on the coffee table in front of them and she leaned into him.
Maka sighed contently as Soul wrapped his arm around her and she glanced at her ring.
"I love you, Soul," she said contentedly.
"Love you, too, Maka," Soul replied as he pulled her in closer. Maka smiled and happily squeezed into him before drifting off slowly.
Three and a half months later…
"So Soul it's getting pretty close to the moon mission, are you and Maka ready?" Tsubaki asked contentedly as Soul helped her out of the store. Tsubaki had been pregnant for a little more than 6 months and it was a bit hard for her to get around due to her big belly.
"We're still training but not as intensely so that we can save energy. But enough about our mission how's the pregnancy going? You're pretty far along," Soul said as he walked Tsubaki back to her home with bags in hand.
"It's ok, I'm glad that I haven't gotten much morning sickness but UGH the mood swings are annoying and they freak out Black*Star. He likes it when I'm calm and relaxed and it scares when I suddenly start yelling at him for no reason," Tsubaki complained as she walked next to Soul with her hands crossed in front of her.
"Star's a man, he can handle it," Soul sighed as he slung a bag over his shoulder. "Have you two decided on a name?"
"We decided to wait until he is born and will name him whatever comes to mind. Black*Star said his brilliance comes under pressure," Tsubaki said, giggling at how silly her boyfriend could be.
"Haha sounds like him. So what is that knuckle head doing?" Soul asked with an eye brow raised, as they slowly approached Tsubaki and Black*Star's home.
"Oh he's training. Even though I can't go, he's been training to fight the Kishin since we last battled it," Tsubaki explained as she smiled thinking about her meister. "What about Maka?"
"Maka is at the doctor's. She, uh, is getting a check-up," Soul said, nervously, as he and Tsubaki arrived at her door. Tsubaki looked at him, puzzled, and thanked him for walking her home. After she closed the door, Soul rubbed the back of his neck nervously before snapping his head up at the rumble coming from the sky. He saw nothing so passed it off and went back to his apartment.
Later that night…
"What was that rumble?" Soul asked as he and Maka leapt from their seat.
KILL KONG KANG KONG!
The door bell rang and Maka raced to the door to find Stein and Black*Star standing outside.
"It's time you two let's get you briefed so you can leave," Stein ordered while Black*Star stood behind him; arms crossed with a series look on his face.
Maka heard Soul stumble as he ran over to Maka, who starred blankly at the words 'It's time' and pulled her from the door.
"We'll be out in a second, Stein," Soul said in a rush as he closed the door. "Maka snap outta it, we have to get ready!"
Maka shook her head and nodded at him before rushing over to her room. Soul ran to his room as well to prepare at lightning speed.
Maka exited her room after a few minutes dressed in a red and green plaid short skirt, her clunky boots with black leggings, and a long-sleeved sweater. She slipped on her gloves after wrapping her hair in a pony tail.
Soul exited a second later in black jeans and a white button down shirt and some black Jordans. He strolled out fixing his long sleeves just above his elbows.
Both wore a serious expression but Maka's was lined with a deep fear. Soul noticed it immediately and put a hand on her shoulder to try and relax her. She smiled at him and nodded before they both strut to the door. This was going to be one of the toughest battles of their lives.
"Alright, the plan is that you all will have to wait until the bubble of Black Blood around the moon bursts. Once the bubble bursts you have to go in immediately. Black*Star is going to provide support in order to allow you guys to gauge the strength of the Kishin. After you and Soul go into Perfect Resonance, Black*Star is going to go and get Chrona out of their and bring her to Shibusen before going back to help you. The only hope to defeat it is Death Hunter, it is the only move that could be strong enough to bypass the Kishin's Death genes and let you hurt him," Stein explained, diligently, as the four of them walked out into an open part of Death City.
"What about Kid?" Maka asked, confused that the only one not going to perform, that would have possibly the most impact, was Kid.
"He has to remain on Earth to protect it. He is going to put a protective barrier around it with the help of Lady Mabaa just in case any of your or the Kishin's attacks goes astray. You all have gotten to the point where a mis-attack could wipe out a country, easily," Stein explained as they reached the front of Shibusen.
"Hey Kid," Soul said as they approached a silent Kid, who stood at the entrance of Shibusen with his arms crossed behind himself.
"You all ready?" he asked without a hello.
"Yeah. Let's go guys," Black*Star said, dryly, finally speaking when he was silent all night. It must be hard for him to not be the center of attention, especially for such an important event.
"Good luck you three," Stein said as he and Kid took a few steps back.
"Soul," Maka said as she turned serious.
"Got it," Soul said as he transformed into his scythe.
"GO PERFECT RESONANCE," they shouted after Maka swung him around a couple times. Maka and Soul transformed into their Perfect Resonance states and she swung him around again.
"Madness release," Black*Star said calmly. He gained a sudden boost of power and grinned.
In that moment the bubble around the Moon popped and all of them looked up.
"SOUL! BLACK*STAR! LET"S GO!" Maka shouted as she burst upward from a flap of her wings.
The age of fear caused by Asura, has come to an end.
