okay, i had no internet when i typed this one up, so this one is from the japenese anime version, because i have the japenese version of the anime on my computer, so i didn't need intrnet to get to it. i had fun writing this, and it helped me solve my problem with soul and the black blood, and i've decided max will not have the black blood, because he is a very light and pure weapon, and i have my little explanation of why he didn't get it, but it's a little lond to be putting here, so that's the short version. also, i will be making my next amv soon, so if you have a song you would like me to use, please tell me, i'll be happy to look at it. anyway, i hope you enjoy the chapter.
disclaimer: i do not own the general world of soul eater or it's original cast, i only own my OC's, my shadow realm, my settungs, and my plot twists
chapter 11 of those who go fighting
me and max were sitting next to Kidd, along with Liz and Patti. Maka, soul, Black*Star and Tsubaki were all out on missions at the moment. Class was kinda boring withought them, but I enjoyed sitting next to Kidd. I heard chatter all about us, but I didn't really pay it much attention. "I wonder where Black*Star and Maka are..." I mumbled yawning. "I heard Black*Star is on a very dangerous mission. The teachers were talking in the faculty room. He's after the enchanted sword." Kidd said. "as for Maka, I can't really say I know where she's off too." Kidd said. "oh, really? Seems interesting..." I sighed quietly. "i could do with an exciting mission right now..." I mumbled with a yawn. "maybe we can go watch them later, after class." He said. "huh? What do you mean?" I said, perking up. "in my father's room. We can watch them from there." he said. "oh. Okay." I said brightly. The class passed quickly as I waited.
Later, we went to the death room. Stein went with us, because he wanted to see as well. "hnn~? Who asked you guys in here? Ah~ no matter, Kidd brought you here~" Lord death said. "what sort of fellow is the enchanted sword, father?" Kidd asked. "he wouldn't be anything like that demon sword girl right?" Max asked. "the enchanted sword is not accompanied by a witch. In fact, you could say he is more viscous because he is alone. The enchanted sword takes advantage of the fear in peoples hearts, possess the soul of the one he acquires, then controls their bodies. Then, he consumes their souls." Stein said. "unless he is stopped, he will become a Kishin." he continued.
The mirror flicker on, and we watched as Black*Star and Tsubaki ran through the village, encountering a boy holding a black sword. We watched in silence as Black*Star and Tsubaki started their battle. It looked rough, and Black*Star took quite a few hits, but they were able to force the sword away from the boy. Tsubaki took hold of the sword, landed on the ground, and Black Lines came across her body, and then she screamed. Her head fell forward limply and her body became still... "what happened?" max asked, worriedly. "Tsubaki has gone inside the enchanted sword." Stein replied. "why would Tsubaki do that?" I said, a little worried myself. "how is a weapon supposed to fight withought it's meister?" soul said. "well, you see... since it's inside their souls, anything could happen and it wouldn't surprise me. Besides, Tsubaki is the only one that can face the enchanted sword." lord death Said.
We watched as villagers came to surround the two of them. Black*Star sat down and payed them no heed, even when they started hitting him with wooden bats and the like. "Black*Star's refusal to pay them attention is amazing, huh?" Lord death said. "yeah.. he's brave... he's quite a strong boy. Even if he's a complete moron, he still deserves some respect..." I said. Max nodded slightly. "yeah..." he mumbled. "imagine... the enchanted sword and Tsubaki being brother and sister." Max said. "but Black*Star still doesn't know that right?" I said. "mm-mm~. He trusts her, after all." Lord Death said. "Tsubaki isn't moving... is she alright?" I asked. "hmm~ the thing about that, you see..." Lord death said.
A trail of light swept across the mirror, wiping away the image, leaving just a normal reflection. Then we saw Stein sitting in the corner, his back to us. "hmm~?" Lord Death said, tilting to the side a little. Stein turned around to look at us, almost questioningly. He was eating lunch. Liz And Patti jumped out from seemingly no where. "we brought snacks~!" they happily chirped together. "huh? At a time like this?" I mumbled. "well, let's see..." Stein said. "to put it simply, Tsubaki's in a sort of soul tug-of-war with the enchanted sword Masamune. As the enchanted sword moves to use his ability to posses her soul, Tsubaki is countering by trying to absorb him." stein Said. "and the hinter become the hunter, huh?" Kidd said." but does Tsubaki have any chance of beating him?" he continued. "it will be difficult." Stein said. "their battleground is in her opponent's sandbox, and soul possession is the enchanted sword's trademark move. The probability of Tsubaki winning is extremely low." stein said.
"brother and sister, fighting to the death! I couldn't even think of going on withought you, patty!" Liz said, hugging Patty tightly, bawling. "there there." patty said, patting Liz on the back. Stein stood up. "weakness of mind is what makes one choose the path of the Kishin." Stein said. The Kishin sought power in order to escape the fear of death. Why has the enchanted sword chosen to walk this path in search of power?" stein said.
"the Nakatsukasa family that the enchanted sword Masamune and Tsubaki both grew up in is a clan possessing special weapons, handed down through generations. The previous generations abilities should have been passed on to the oldest son, Masamune, however..." stein said. "for some reason, all of the power went to Tsubaki." he continued. We watched the scene. The boys with the club went up to Tsubaki. Black*Star broke his club, and the look in his eyes were fierce as he yelled at the boy. Heh... he's not half bad after all, I guess... I'll have to make sure I tell him that when he gets back...
"she's taking on the enchanted sword alone? That's.. crazy.." max mumbled. "it's true, Tsubaki is a multi-varied high-performance weapon, but her opponent is too much for her. I should have been the one to go..." Stein said. "she's not alone... Black*Star is right there, isn't he?" I said, smiling. "it's because he's there with her that Tsubaki can fight." "right~" Lord death said, turning to face us. "what's important is right here~" he said, placing his giant hand over his heart. "Tsubaki's charm may lie in her versatility, but that's not where her strength is~. That's in her soul~." he said.
We went back to watching. Tsubaki glowed for a moment, then her body was sucked into the sword. Black*Star, who had just stood up, fell to his knees. He looked beyond crestfallen. "Tsubaki.." I said, stunned. "Oh no!" Max said, worried. We watched Black*Star hurriedly stand back up. He took a wooden club that one of the villagers had been holding. He started poking the sword with the stick repeatedly, as if looking for some sort of a reaction. After nearly a minute, the sword exploded in a poof of smoke, knocking Black*Star back. Tsubaki stepped out of the smoke. Black*Star stood up, smiling. Black*Star held out his arms, with a huge smile on his face, and Tsubaki ran over and hugged him, falling to her knees.
Suddenly a villager popped up and hit Black*Star with his club. With a look of rage, Black*Star kicked him, sending him flying with a trail of blood. I smiled to myself at the site. The look on Tsubaki's face made me want to laugh, but I kept myself from doing so. It looked like Black*Star said something that made them mad, because they all started throwing things at them.
We all stood waiting, and soon Black*Star and Tsubaki were walking into the death room. "welcome back!" we said happily. "guys..." Black*Star said happily. "I'm so sorry we made you worry!" Tsubaki said, quickly bowing. "Howdy~ Good work~!" Lord Death said happily. "you twp were quite amazing." I said happily, smiling. "you finally got a soul, huh?" max said, grinning. "the problem student clears his name." Kidd said, smiling as well. "took you long enough." Max said. "congrats." I said. "I've gotten ahead of my time." Black*Star said, grinning. "you did it Tsubaki!" Liz said happily. "she cried you know." Liz said, pointing at Patti. "that was you, sis." Patti said. "Lord death, I may have underestimated those kids." Stein said, smiling. "they are all young, and still growing up after all~." Lord death replied.
"attention!" Black*Star shouted. We all looked. He was standing on top of lord death's mirror. "I'm about to show you all something incredible!" he shouted. "when did he..?" several of us said in unison. "wha~?" lord death said confusedly. "get this! Tsubaki has added a new mode!" Black*Star said. "ohhhh~" we all said. Black*Star jumped down. "here goes, Tsubaki!" Black*Star said. "right!" Tsubaki said, rushing over to him, poofing into smoke. The smoke surrounded Black*Star. He put his first two fingers against his forehead. "enchanted sword mode." he said. He held out his hand, and the smoke gathered into his hand, turning into a black sword, the same appearance of the sword they had just defeated. He held the sword up, and slashed down, and the air shook for a moment, the wind was fierce.
Black*Star stood for a moment, then fell onto his face. Tsubaki took her human form. "Black*Star!" she said worriedly. She picked him up and set his head in her lap. "my soul wavelength was taken away, all at once..." he said. He didn't look very good... "looks like Black*Star isn't ready to handle that one yet..." stein said. "but what a surprise. She even inherited her brother's power." "i was born too soon alright. The times are always behind me..." he said, as Tsubaki started fanning him. "there's no rush. Let's move forward, together." Tsubaki said.
-the next day-
I arrived at school to hear terrible news. While out on their extracurricular lesson, Maka and soul had encountered the demon sword Ragnarok and it's meister, Crona. Soul had been terribly wounded in an attempt to protect Maka, and he was now hospitalized in the infirmary.
I was on my way to visit him. I passed Maka, who was just leaving. "hey. I heard. Are you okay?" I asked. "yeah, thanks to soul... I heard you went through a similar experience with the demon sword and max..." she said. "yeah..." I mumbled. We nodded, and I entered.
Medusa wasn't in, so I went over to soul. He looked at me. He looked a little down. "hey soul... being here like this gives me an odd feeling. Like this has already happened before." I said, smiling at him. "maybe because it has." he said, smiling back. "heh. Maybe." I said. "so how are you feeling?" I asked. He frowned slightly. "not so hot. But then again, not much else was expected..." he said. "yeah, I know what you mean..." I said, nodding. After a moment of silence, I said something. "it's been a while since I was in one of these beds..." I said, barely above a whisper. "huh? What happened to you?" he asked. "i was cut open, like you." I mumbled, looking away. "oh. I didn't know." he said. I looked at him, and smiled. "of course you wouldn't. I don't have any scars. Not from that, or anything else." I said. "what? You don't?" he said, raising his eyebrows. "heh, nope. I'm not really sure why, but I don't scar..." I said. "that's.. odd.." he said. "hehe, I know. It's weird." I said, smiling.
We talked like this for a few more minutes before I had to leave for class. "goodbye soul." I said, waving him off with a smile. "hey, wait." he said. "what?" I said turning back to look at him. "um... do you think you could stop by again tomorrow? To talk again?" he mumbled, looking down, almost like he was embarrassed. I smiled. "hehe, sure, of course. I'd love too. Well, bye then." I said, waving at him with a big smile. I left and headed to class, smiling all the way, and I wasn't quite sure why either.
