Chapter 11: Lost
"Maka do you read me?" Death The Kid's voice sounds in her ear through the microphone.
"Yeah, loud and clear." Maka answers as she turns a corner. She has been walking the streets of Death city awhile now, with no signs of Noface, or anyone else for that matter. The city has turned silent, only her slight breathing and foot steps causing it to be broken. It frightens her, how quiet it is, it makes her paranoid. It makes her cautious though so far it seems as if she's the only soul out tonight but she knows better. A familiar one is talking to her now, taking her nerves off the edge.
"Anything new? Any signs of Noface?"
"No nothing." Maka sighs. The shoes Liz gave her to wear were not helping the growing pain in her feet. Can't the damn ghost just show up already?!
"Maybe he's not going to show." She hears Soul grumble in the back ground.
"Where are you guys anyway?" Maka walks past a couple of stores, their all dark and dead like the city.
"On the roof of the library, we can see you quite good actually...are you alright? You seem to look like your limping." Kid's voice sounds back in her ear.
"I'm fine, it's just these stupid shoe's are killing my feet!" Maka grumbles. Flats were not meant to be worn when you had to walk so many miles.
" Their not stupid!" Liz voice comes a little to loud over the microphone. "Those are the new Steve madden black flats! There super cute!"
"I don't care, im taking them off." Maka growls as she stops and starts undoing the shoe's grip on her foot.
"Maka!" Patty and Liz wine.
"Aw your taking them off? I like the way you look in them." A dark voice chuckles behind her. All the hairs on the back of the Scythe-Meister's neck stick up as she turns around quickly. Nobody's there. Just darkness.
"Maka? What's wrong do you see something?" Death The Kid's voice comes quickly after.
"N-No." She takes a deep breath and glares into the darkness. Don't lose your courage now. "But I heard something."
"What?"
"It sounded like a man's voice.." Maka starts walking towards the direction where the voice came from slowly, scanning the darkness for the owner. A shadow moves across her field of vision. She turns as fast as she can towards it but nothings there.
"Do you think it's Noface?"
"I don't know." She grips her fist as she starts to walk where she saw the shadow. What ever it was it was fucking with her.. "Noface you coward, come out!"
No response.
"Don't yell at it, you idiot." Soul grunts.
"Maybe try a different tactic." Kid suggests.
"It's me Noface...Aurora..please come out..I've missed you." Maka walks slowly putting on the sweetest face she can muster. This has to work!.
A strong gust of wind blows against her, ruffling her dress but there's no response.
"Damn!" She grumbles.
"Nice try though."
"Yeah." Maka sighs.
Then she feels it. The space around her drops ten degrees as she feels a presence of another soul close by. She turns around in the direction of the soul's wave link, the dark and twisted wave link, her breathing speeding up. "Kid, I feel him!"
"Ma..ka...ca...n't..." Kid's voice breaks up in her ear.
"Kid!"
"Bre...aking...u...p" The device in her ear makes a crackling sound before going silent.
"Kid!" Maka tries again tapping the microphone in her ear.
"Nope, only me."She feels hot breath against the back of her neck. Her whole body shivers as she quickly jumps away and turns to face the being.
Maka can't help but to gasp. The rumors were true. The thing had no face, just a slit a little above where the chin should be, that she was guessing was it's mouth. It was turned in the creepiest of smiles, the darken skin ripping at the corners. The ghost looks like it's dressed in a black cloak all around it's body making it hard for her to even see the thing. If not for her soul perception, she would have mistaken him for just a shadow cast by the moon, but this was no shadow. This was no kishen egg. This was Noface, the thing she has been searching for all this time. She was sure of it.
"Are you Noface?" Maka questions any way as she glares at the thing. It's weird smile falls.
"Is that what they call me?" He grunts and takes a step closer. "Then I guess I am."
"Noface! You have killed innocent people, by Lord Death I'm here to take your soul." Maka points a finger at it, her eyes flaring.
"Take my soul?" The thing chuckles. "Oh please do." He takes a step closer and she takes a step back. "What's wrong? I thought you wanted my soul?"
"Any minute now guys.." Maka mumbles looking up at the roof tops for any signs of her friends all the while the thing was getting closer.
"Kid...fee...l...im" Maka's voice breaks up in his ear.
"I can't understand what your saying." Kid presses the microphone closer to his ear. The Demon Swordsman and Scythe take there eyes off Maka to look at the Reaper.
"W-What's wrong?" Crona grips his arm.
"K...i...d!"
" Maka your breaking up." Kid says before there's a terrible cracking sound in his ear. " Maka can you read me?" Nothing.
"What happen?" Soul raises an eye brow as Kid takes off the microphone. Crona grips his arm harder, that didn't sound good.
"I don't know..the microphone just broke." Kid looks down at the Scythe- Meister, who looked like she was tapping her ear. " It looks like it broke for her as well."
"The ghost did it!" Liz shouts in Kid's hand as a gun. "I've done research, and ghosts can do creepy things to electrical stuff!"
"I don't see the ghost though." Soul states watching his Meister. She suddenly jumps back a couple of steps and glares ahead. The Scythe squints his eyes but he doesn't see anything around her but darkness.
"Did she just get startled?" The Reaper pears down as well. He is to far to see Maka's face but he can tell she's frighten.
"L-Lets go down." Crona gets ready to jump off the ledge of the building. Kid quickly grabs him mid jump, pulling him back on the roof.
"Not yet. What if he hasn't shown yet and is about to? We would ruin the mission."
"Well what if he's there right now." Soul's red eyes watch Maka intently as she takes a step back.
"M-Maka could be in danger." Crona watches the darkness for any signs of movement. He sees none.
"I'm sure if Noface showed I'd be able to sense him." Kid's eyes lock onto Soul's.
"Yeah well what if your wrong, Kid? She seems to be pretty jumpy." The Scythe watches as she takes another step back.
"Who wouldn't be jumpy?" Liz gun trembles a little in Kid's hand. " The girl is walking alone at night dressed as some dead guys wife!"
"Well-
A huge weight falls over them all. The presence is so strong the group is almost choking in it. Death The Kid and Crona whip their heads in the direction of this powerful wave link, eyes wide.
"It's the witch!" Kid shouts. "She's in Death city! Noface must have shown!"
The three boys quickly look back down where the Scythe-Meister was, only to find they can't see her anymore. A black mist covers their view of the streets and of Maka.
"M-Maka!" Crona shouts as he quickly jumps down into the mist. He wasn't waiting any longer.
"Crona!" Kid yells after him but he doesn't listen. He disappears into the mist.
"I'm coming too." Soul is about to jump but the Reaper grabs his arm, stopping him.
"What about the witch? It's in the city!"
"Are mission was to protect Maka, and that's what I intend to do. We will take care of the witch later." The Scythe escape his grip and jumps down into the mist after Crona.
"But..." Kid looks back at where he feels the witches soul. It's close to the DWMA, it's in his home, in his city. I'm a reaper, I'm suppose to protect Death city.
"The mission was to protect Maka and that's what I intend to do." The Scythe's words repeat them selves. He takes a deep breath, making up his mind. He quickly jumps into the mist. but I also have to protect my friends.
"A witch?!" Maka gasps and turns her attention away from the being. The wave link was strong..and it was close. From looking behind her she notices the dark mist that seems to be circling around her and the being. She can't see anything past it.
"So she finally showed huh?" Noface grumbles as it glides closer. "Looks like your friends will be a little to busy to help."Maka jumps back from the thing but can't help the look of surprise she gives him. " Oh yes, I knew all a long your little friends were watching. It's pretty hard to miss a Reaper." The thing chuckles as it takes a swing at Maka's head. The girl quickly ducks and jumps back putting distance between the two. "Oh you poor, poor girl. Your all alone and weaponless...you should have listen to my warning. Didn't you like the face I left you? I ripped it off myself."
"Shut the hell up, your sick!" Maka charges at it, just for Noface to disappear. She falls on her face but does a quick flip back up. Noface reappears behind her, his slit turned into a deep frown.
"After all the trouble I went through for you, you still came out to search for me...that was amusing..but this...dressing up like her...unforgivable."
"Killing all those women is unforgivable." Maka rolls back and glares at it.
"Then punish me...take my soul." It smiles again as it lashes out towards her. Maka prepares herself. Whatever this was, she knew she was facing it alone.
"Maka!" Soul shouts as he runs through the dark mist. He can't see where he's going but he doesn't care. She has to be around here somewhere...
"It may already be to late, Soul"
The Scythe just ignores the demon as he keeps running. He would not believe it was too late. His Meister was strong, with out him she was able to defeat the god of madness. She could handle a mere ghost...right? Soul runs into another wall and curses.
The demon chuckles. "Your going in circles, Soul."
The Scythe doesn't even acknowledge him as he takes off running in the opposite direction. "Maka!" He shouts again.
"She can't hear you, Soul." The demon sighs getting annoyed.
"Damn it!" He looks around frantically for anything. Far off beside him is a small light. "There!" he shouts excitedly and takes off running full speed towards it. He had to get to Maka quickly he was her weapon, he was her protection. He wasn't suppose to be separated from her.
For what seems like forever he just runs, the light slowly getting closer until he finally reaches it and breaks through the mist. Soul finds himself in front of the DWMA, the large moon grinning down at him, smirking at his situation.
"How the hell did I end up here!" He kicks the ground. He had gone the opposite way of where Maka was.
"You ran here, silly. My mist can be confusing huh?" A girl's voice giggles behind him.
He turns quickly with his arm changed into a scythe ready for battle.
Maka stands before him smiling brightly, her hands held together as if she's praying.
"Maka your alright! Did you get hurt?" He quickly turns his arm back to normal and reaches out to his Meister, relief washing over him.
"Soul don't touch her!" Death The Kid flies out of the mist suddenly on Beelzebub and starts shooting Liz and Patty at Maka.
"Kid stop!" He gets in front of his Meister, taking the blows not letting them touch her as he sends a glare to the Reaper. "What the hell are you doing?!"
"You're a fool." Maka smirks as she disappears a bomb taking her place.
"Soul move!" Kid tackles the Scythe just as the bomb goes off, shielding him. The two boys fall to the ground, Kid on top of Soul making sure he doesn't get hurt as he takes the blow, the back of his suit being completely fired off, exposing his red and melting skin.
"K-Kid." Soul looks up at the other boy eye's wide. "Are you alright?!"
"Im fine." Kid' falls on him for support as the Scythe lifts him up, looking at the wound on his back with a frown.
"How did you know?" Soul helps the Reaper up just for him to push him away.
"I sensed the witches soul and followed it out here. I knew what you saw couldn't possibly be Maka. It was a trap." Kid glares up into the darkness and points his guns. "Show your self witch!"
"What's the fun in that?" The voice sounds like it's coming from all around them. "I want to play some more.." A dark ball of energy flies out of the darkness towards the two boys. They both dodge, one bring out his Scythe, the other points at where it came from and starts shooting. While the Reaper is distracted a dark figure forms it's self behind Kid about to grab a hold of the boy. The Scythe quickly acts and slices threw it before it can touch the other boy, the thing falls apart and disappears, a illusion.
"Damn I can't tell what's real and what's not." Soul grunts as Kid stops shooting. He looks around, his golden eyes burning as he uses his soul perception. The witch's wave link seems to be coming from all round them. He can't pinpoint where she actually is.
"So you like to play with illusions but what can you actually do?" Kid steps forward his eyes searching for any signs of movement.
"Plenty!" Dark figures pop up all around the Scythe and Reaper, surrounding them. Soul's scythe grows long as he slices through all of them with one swipe, destroying all the illusions with out Kid having to lift a finger.
"Then show me." Kid growls as he stances. "Or are you afraid of judgement?"
"I'm not afraid of you or your judgement." The witches soul grows bigger as a young girl appears before them with a dark clock on, covering her face. "Judge me young reaper, tell me of my sins."
"You're here in my city, aiding a monster to kill my people." He points his guns upside down at the witch. "You also just tried to hurt my friend."
"You're a fool, here I thought Reapers were suppose to be smart." She chuckles as dark energy surrounds her hands.
"Enough talk, witch that tasty soul of yours is mine!" Soul roars as he lunges for the witch, Scythe ready to slice her in half. Kid backs him up by shooting quickly at her, his eyes burning with disgust. The witch flies into the air on a broom she just summon beneath her and sends a blast towards the Scythe. He dodges it easily and smirks " Ha! You missed me-
Kid suddenly kicks him, making his mark where the witch didn't, sending him flying into a wall.
"What the hell?" Soul glares but it falls when he sees another blast that was meant for him hit the ground where he was standing, leaving a small creator in the street.
"Stay out of the way." Kid growls as he shoots rapidly at the witch. "You'll get hurt."
"I can take care of myself." Soul growls back.
"Aw so cute." The witch taunts dodging all of the reaper's blasts. "You seem to care a awful lot for the Scythe..maybe I should play with him more.." She purrs.
"No!" Kid lunges for the witch his feelings getting the better of him, just to be blasted back by her power.
"Kid be careful!"Liz shows up on the gun. "You may be a Reaper but even you can get hurt!"
"Yeah don't be stupid." Patty growls at her Meister.
"Maybe you're the one who should stay out the way." The Scythe remarks cooly as he jumps up while the witch is distracted with Kid and slices at her. He's able to cut off a part of her broom before she moves out the way. The witch grabs a hold of Soul before he can fall to the safety of the ground, holding his arm at a awkward angle bring pain to Scythe when ever he tries to struggle against her. She tightens her grip on the Scythe's arm, he feels the bone about to pop out of place and he can't help to cry out a little in pain.
"Your mine now." She chuckles just to be blasted in the face by Kid.
"Let go of him!" The Reaper flies up on Beelzebub and shoots the witch, a couple making there mark.
"Ugh!" She lets go of the Scythe as she flies trying to get away from the Reaper's furry. Kid closes the gap between them quickly and kicks her hoping to bring her down. His leg goes completely through her before she disappears with a smirk on her face. A illusion?! Kid whips his head around to see the witch behind a unaware Scythe who was looking up at him, cheering him on. His red eyes burning with admiration. "Yeah get her, Kid!"
"Soul move!" Kid shouts but it's to late. The scythe turns around just as a large blast of dark magic comes out of the witch's hands and hits him full force. The blast rips through the boys stomach and into the building in front of him, blood splats every where. Soul makes a choking sound, his face scrunched up as if he is screaming but no sound comes out. The Reaper watches as the boy hits the cold streets of Death city hard, red pooling around him. The Scythe's glassy eyes look back at the Reaper who was shaking, his eyes wide "SOUL!" The reaper screams, he screams his heart out.
