The next chapter will be very short, and also the ending~ I hope you enjoy it ! Thank you for the useful and kind reviews.
The boy didn't look anxious, like usual. This time he looked murderous. His pupils were gone again and the reason for that was standing right next to him, with an evil smirk covering her face as she laid eyes on Soul. This was wrong. "Well, if it isn't our white-haired scythe. It's nice to see you again" Soul clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes, preparing for an attack. "What are you doing here ?" Medusa stepped forward while Crona just stood there, waiting for a command. "Isn't that obvious ?" snakes started to crawl on her body. "I came to get revenge" The snakes jumped off of her body and approached Soul, who immediately changed his arm in a blade and cut through every snake he could reach. Surprisingly, they vanished into dust. Something wasn't right, he shouldn't be able to cut through them so easily. Medusa laughed while she signed Crona to come a bit closer. "Soul, what are-" Maka gasped when she saw Medusa and Crona, right in front of Soul. "What did you do to Crona !" she yelled and ran in their direction, but was stopped by Soul's arm. "Don't go near them" he mumbled. Medusa's grin grew wider as she looked at the girl, clearly amused. "Looks like you care about Crona a little too much" Her words weren't supposed to hurt him, but Soul still stiffened for a second. That was his weak point, and he knew it. "It's unfortunate, though. I don't think Crona feels the same way. Do you, Crona ?" She made Crona step forward, his eyes as empty as before. It went silent for a moment, extreme tension build up between the enemies. "Kill her" Soul didn't even have the time to transform completely or protect her, because Crona jumped at her with incredible speed and threw her on the ground. He bend over her, staring at her closely with his white eyes, then quickly put his hands around her neck and squeezed it as hard as he possibly could. "Maka!" Soul yelled and ran to them, grabbing Crona's shirt when he got there. "Not so fast" Medusa hissed while she let her arrows pierce through his body and pulled him away from Crona. He moaned in pain when the arrows dragged him over the floor through his body, blood spreading over the floor rapidly. But he wasn't this weak, he had to defeat her. He had to safe Maka. Soul sliced his blade through the arrows and got up as fast as he could before the second invasion of arrows would get through him. He cut them mid-air, then quickly turned around with his hand covering his chest, and ran to Maka. Crona banged against the wall when Soul used all his strenght to pull him off Maka, but quickly recovered. "Fool!" Medusa screamed with the usual evil smirk around her lips. "Kill them both" Crona nodded almost unseen and ran towards the couple while Ragnarok formed a sword in his hands. "Soul!" "Got it" Soul transformed and they both tried to block the attack, but it was strong. He was strong. Medusa's power had taken over Crona completely, and it seemed her strength was passed on to him. Crona pulled back and attacked even harder, catching Maka off guard for a mere second. She fell while she tried to dodge him and unconsciously dropped Soul. "Crona.. Crona please, I'm Maka ? You know me, right ?" He approached her, pupils still gone and ready to kill. "I'm your friend. You don't have to do this, Medusa's using you" He held his sword almost above his head. "I know you're not like this. This isn't you, you have to try to control yourself" Crona seemed to doubt, his hands were shaking and Maka could've swore she saw his pupils flash back a few times. "Please, Cr-" She mumbled, but she was unable to finish due to the sword that pierced through her stomach, leaving her gasping for air.
That was the moment he realised it. Crona pulled the sword back and dropped it on the floor, shaking like a lunatic. "No, Maka!" Tears started ruining his sight while he took her hand. "I'm so sorry. Please wake up, please Maka" Maka managed to smile a tiny bit through her pain and touched his face slightly. "You're back" she mumbled while a single tear dripped on her cheek. "Go save Soul, quickly" she breathed and she pushed him away before pushing her shirt against the bleeding wound. "Kill her, please" Crona nodded and turned around, facing Medusa whose snakes where holding Soul up by his neck. "Medusa!" he yelled as loud as he could and he grabbed Ragnarok again. Medusa just laughed while looking at her child. "Oh, you've managed to break the spell. You're stronger then I thought" Crona growled. "Too bad the girl won't see you play hero" Crona screamed and ran to her, targeting her neck. She quickly blocked it using just her hands (covered with her snakes, though) but that caused her to drop Soul, who fell hard on the ground. Crona pulled back, breathing heavily and attacked again, meanwhile Soul got the time to run to his meister. "Maka ?" He weakly crawled next to her while grabbing his injured chest and looked at her. She panted and sweated heavily with blood dripping off of her stomach. "Please stay with me" he mumbled and she slowly opened her eyes. "I will, but you have to help Crona out" Soul stared at her, his eyes drowning in pain. He knew she was right.
An arrow pierced through his chest and Ragnarok disappeared in his body again. "You're not as strong as you think" Medusa hissed evilly. Crona desperately tried to move away for her, and at that very moment Soul cut through the arrow from behind, causing only the dangerously hard tip of the arrow to stick through his chest. Medusa used a vector plate to send Soul to a corner in the living room before using a plate to move her child towards her. Crona suddenly got an idea, he wasn't sure if it would work, but it was worth a try. He backed up, causing Medusa to step closer. He kept doing that until he was right before the vector plate, his mother standing only a few feet in front of him. As fast as he could, he jumped back, landing on the plate that shoot him to Medusa with great speed. When he harshly bumped into her, the arrow that stuck through his chest pierced through hers and her eyes grew wide. She hadn't been expecting this. She didn't think he would be smart enough to use her own magic against her. Before she collapsed on the ground, she managed to stab him right through his neck with another arrow and they both fell to the ground.
