Chapter 11: Insanity VS Maka
As Stein studied the thin holes on on the wall the others talked about events that unfolded before them.
"Ok" Patti started "So Maka's angel soul lets her do stuff like go fast but how did she hit Kid and Black Star with dirt?"
"Yeah that was weird?" Liz admitted
Tsubaki went to talk to her fellow blade weapon Soul who looked worried "Is something wrong Soul?"
"You saw what Maka did, I think Liz was right something did happen today and we didn't make it."
It took Tsubaki a second to wrap her mind around the comment "You think we died and Maka came back to save us."
"I promised her father, I promised her, I promised myself that I would always be there to protect her. But she learned how to fight by herself which mean I won't be there. We're suppose to die today."
"But you're not worried about dying are you?"
"No, it means I didn't keep my promise to Maka. That's really not cool."
Tsubaki wanted to reach and hug Soul to confront him but was interrupted when both Black Star and Kid returned with their clothes on now.
"No need to worry Black Star is here!" The ninja shouted
"Where's Maka?" Kid asked
"She said she had to talk to Marie." Liz told them
The suddenly a sound like thunder cut through the air quickly followed by explosions.
"It's started" Stein said finally taking his eyes off his mystery.
"We have to go-" Kid began
"No something is coming here" Stein explained
The others glimpsed outwards those without Soul perception took a few extra seconds to see a black blur racing towards them. The guys fell to the ground in pain. Before anything could be said a man in a dark suit, with slick black hair and terrifying grin landed near them.
"Oh what wonderful insanity." The man said smiling
Doctor Stein pulled out his dissecting knife, white stars formed in Black Stars eyes, Kid's white clothing changed into a black suit and marks formed around his mouth, Soul's chest hurt namely the scar on his chest as he felt his blood rush around his body like crazy.
"Wow the schools standard must have really gone down hill, if they're letting so many students in with so much wonderful insanity just waiting to bubble out." Then he turned his attention to the girls "Hm, you three don't have much insanity. Too bad you three are pretty, but I don't have the time today to instill insanity in you. Oh well boy do what you will to the girls but to do make it quick we're on a schedule."
The guys looked at them, Soul arm turned into a blade, all of their eyes looked more like a rabid animals eyes than that of a men. Liz took her sisters hand unsure of what to do her first instinct was to change into a gun and attack but she didn't simply because she didn't want to hurt her friends.
"Okay enough of that" Maka's voice came from inside.
Quickly enough Maka came out with her hands behind her back giving her a look of innocents.
Maka's eyes widened with surprise "I know you."
The man just as surprise and a little delighted said "You're that Scythe meister."
"You're Jack Napier. You got into peoples heads, made people do horrible things. Then when you were bored with them you forced them to kill themselves. By that times they were so damaged they didn't care if they lived."
"You're that meister that dropped that building on me."
"I didn't drop any building on you. It was back when me and Soul were starting out collecting souls. You went into an old abandoned building and we chased you. That idiot Soul cut the load bearers and the building collapsed we thought you died then."
"No, Kronos pulled me out at the last moment and gave me a job. Ha ha ha! It's really funny that we meet again like this, after all this time. And look I get you use your scythe against you." Then he noticed something " You're ages don't match up. You're a lot older than him now."
"You know girls mature faster than boys. Are you going to talk or kill? If you're not I have things to do."
"Right-O! Boys rip the blonde to shreds."
The four guys ignored the others and ran straight towards Maka with the look of a hungry feral animal in their eyes and Maka just stood their not making any sort of move as they moved ever closer. At the last possible second Maka took a hammer from her back and slammed it into the ground cracking, a wave of lighting launched from the hammer hitting the guys and knocking them down. The guys changed back to how they were before. The hammer was clearly Marie with her trademark lighting bolt symbol. Tendrils came from the hammer into the Maka's skin. Then Maka moved like a flash of lighting striking the hammer on Jack hurling him backwards.
Kid asked "What happened?"
"Jack over there is messing with your guys sanity. Me and my anti-demon wavelength and Marie's calming wavelength knocked some sense into you. Now we're under attack so everyone get up."
Stein got up and Maka tossed him Marie still in her hammer mode. Patti and Liz turned into guns which Kid caught. Tsubaki changed into a sword to be caught by Black Star. Maka took Souls hand and he instantly turned into a scythe. They all spread out each taking one side. The spot were Maka had struck Jack began to form a crack. The crack spread all over his body and all at once his flesh shattered like a mirror. Now what was left was a large mass of black with countless eyes and and mouths filled with sharp teeth.
"You think you can protect them." his voice echoed in their ears "Your attack might have stopped me for the moment but I will take them over again."
"I don't need to protect them. An Angel will strike you down."
The he started laughing "Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Do you mean you? I've heard stories about you while traveling with Kronos but even the Great Maka-"
A long thin white blade cut through the black figure and after a second only a red kishin egg was left.
"Well angel...Angela same thing." Maka told them
The looked up to see little Angela with two bright white wings provided to her by the sword Excalibur. The blade vanished, Maka let go of Soul forcing him to change back as she caught Angela.
In Maka's arms a cheerful Angela said "I did good Maka? He was bad man, right?"
Maka kissed the little girl on the head "You did great Angie."
Excalibur changed to his true form and landed on the ground. Putting Angela down Maka told him "Excalibur I have a mission for you. You have to protect Angela the fight has started and she doesn't have to be in this fight. You have to keep her safe. Do you hear me? That is your only mission."
"Understood." Excalibur said
"Angie follow Excalibur and find a place to hide." Angie responding to the concern in Maka's voice nodded. The two were off following Maka's request.
Patti took the soul left by Jack with the promise the next Soul would go to Liz to keep Kid happy. Explosion were heard coming from Death Square.
Maka began to Bark orders "Stein take Marie and lead the charge help anyone that needs any. Black Star and Kid go with him. Liz,Patti Tsubaki I need you three here with Soul for one thing."
"You want us to go without our weapons?" Kid asked
"Come on Kid, you two are the best fighters in the school even without weapons. Plus trust me I need them for the next thing."
There was sincerity in Maka's eyes that made the meister trust her words.
"But you're going to bring them, right?" Black Star asked
"As soon as I can. I'm suppose to led you guys what kind of general would I be if I wasn't there when you needed me. Now go off now and remember to tell them to plug her in."
Confused by the comment but eager to get to the fight the three meister made their way to the battle.
"What?" Liz yelled at Maka "We just got Kid back! You're sending him to the fight without us!"
"SHUT UP!" Maka yelled at the older girl "I am trying to help but I need you to listen. I can beat Kronos but I need all your help."
"What do you need Maka?" Tsubaki said
Maka placed her hand before them with her palm facing upwards "I need all of you to place your hands on mine."
Soul placed his hand on hers, and she smiled at him. Tsubaki then placed her hand on their and was followed by Patti and a bit against her will Liz placed hers.
"Now all I do is this." Maka told them
Then a bright light engulfed them.
Soon enough the guys found their way to Death Square but by the time they got there the fighting was done, much Black Stars disappointment. Marie changed back and Stein took the first aid kit and went to help Nygus and Kim on treating the wounded.
Kim was using her powers to heal the cracked Ribs that Ox had gotten.
"You idiot!" Kim scolded him "You could have gotten yourself killed."
"I wasn't going to let him talk that way about you."
Kim was touched and kissed Ox who blushed. In the meantime Harvar and Jackie traded looks that practically said 'oh come on you two get a room'.
"Sorry to break up this sweet moment " Vicky said "but I got acid burns."
With nothing better to do Kid found Alan and Janis and told them "I think I got a message for you. That you have to plug her in."
"We're almost done." Alan told him
They were working on the last speaker,they would have finished earlier but then they stopped to watch the fights. Everything seemed calm but that when the sound of thunder rang out and a large crack formed in the center of the square.
Authors notes: So I really feel this is one of my better chapters. Sorry for the lateness. I donated blood today so I keep passing out. Anyway I named Jack after the real name of the Joker in the Batman animated series who got that reference. Anyway I will hope to have the next chapter up on friday. So few things to look forward to the army has to fight Kronos and we see the reason for the speakers. Maka's crazy plan starts to unfold. We also see inside someone's soul. So review tell me what you think. I want at least one review for this chapter. I also want to see if anyone can guess the reason for the speakers. Just give me your best guess.
