Chapter twenty: Putting an end to this. How many lives must be lost to end it all?
Mogi takes a step back as his eyes survey those that are here. "Hey now." He begins to try to calm the situation down. "Listen this can all be explained." He tells them as his eyes scan the crowd. "They are evil! They are taking your souls to feed them to evil beings to destroy the world!"
"You just found that you don't agree with our beliefs!" One lady shouts angrily. "They are GODS! If they think that the world should be destroyed then I say let the Gods do so! We worship and sacrifice everything for them. So that they will do what they believe is the right thing to do." The lady charges pulling out a dagger slashing it at Mogi who leaps back.
"We don't want to hurt you!" Mogi raises Matsuda ready to strike though he doesn't wish for innocents to become hurt. "Just stop this madness!"
"You're from the DWMA!" One boy gasps upon seeing how Mogi raised Matsuda up. "Aren't you?"
"Yes. The DWMA is here to protect the world from evil." Mogi tells them. "We're the good guys!"
"Yet you work with DEATH himself!" The lady points out slashing her dagger again though this time Mogi uses Mastuda to collide with the weapon protecting him from the attack. "He only imposes his selfish beliefs of what is good and bad upon the world! Then uses an army that he trains himself to do his dirty work."
"I'm not sure that we are going to get through to them." Matsuda speaks up sharing his thoughts to his partner.
Mogi sighs to this. "It would appear not." He manages to knock the weapon away then swings Matsuda onto the woman's head hard. "I am sorry for this." He apologizes just before the woman closes her eyes falling to the ground.
More go after Mogi who swings Matsuda at them now just trying to defend himself from the sudden surge of attack. He hits person after person all while trying to dodge the attacks sent his way while using self defense against the people. He silently hopes that L and Light are having better luck than him and Matsuda right now. He then slams Matsuda into another attackers head.
Back with L and Light….
"We will put an end to all of this." Light informs the pastor. "I can guarantee that. One way or another we will figure out how to do so." He swings L at said pastor who jumps back to dodge the attack.
"I'll kill you with my own bare hands and add you to our collection of souls!" The pastor tries to stab Light with the dagger however Light is too quick on his feet and he leaps away. He tries to use the dagger to block Lights attack when Light tries to slash at him so the blades scrape against one another.
Light moves back ones the blades are no longer scrapping against one another. "We'll show you just what makes us different from the rest." He swings the scythe so the outward curve of the blade is facing the ground at an angle and the inward curve of the blade is facing Light at an angle, he uses one hand to hold the weapon. He is now holding the scythe with one hand. "We will never allow you to continue your evil actions ever again."
White ribbon like bandages come from the scythes handle glowing, as they come out but become white bandages when all of them are in place, though none of the handle is missing. The white bandages appear to wrap around the handle even at the skull's part but it looks like it was caught there by some sort of wind as they float like it's in a breeze or wind. The white bandages also are doing the same to Light's arms up to his elbows. There isn't many on the handle as well as Light's arm and they are well spaced so it actually looks good not messy.
The scythe begins to glow but only on the blade part and suddenly a smaller looking scythe blade forms on the other side of the part of the scythe that keeps the blade and handle together almost making it completely a double sided scythe.
Light begins to raise it a little slowly up to the left and as soon as it is waist height he grabs it with his other hand again as he continues to raise it.
He slightly twists his body until he is holding the scythe up ready to strike.
The scythe grows becoming almost triple but more like double its size on both sides glowing sky blue, it seems to kind of wrap around Light. The skull looking part of the handle wasn't' glowing at first but the handle is softly glowing the same color as the blade except only the skull part grew with the blade as the eyes and noses of the skulls are still black while the rest of it is glowing.
"Soul shot." Light states in a normal talking volume being calm. He shifts just ever so slightly about to attack then he attacks at first jumping towards the priest only to slam the more powered up scythe onto the ground sending a blue flame like glowing attack straight at his enemy.
The enemy tries to get out of the way but is hit and screams only for his body to vanish leaving his red soul left there floating.
"Everything ends here." Light tells the soul slightly glaring at it. He lets everything go back to normal as the soul resonance dies down.
L gets the blade to vanish and his upper body comes from the end ot the handle above where the blade would be.
Light moves L closer so L can do what he is supposed to which is to eat the red kishin soul. "That's another one down." He speaks with victory in his voice as L swallows the soul.
"We should probably check on how the other two are doing. We'll report the human souls so that they can be freed to go to a true afterlife." L suggests turning to meet Lights own gaze.
Light nods in agreement then glances up along with L when they hear something. "Is that…?"
"It sounds like…" L nods then the two share a glance before hurrying rail jumping to back down the stairs.
Mogi slams another person in the head with the weapon though he is panting from all of this fighting. He gets struck by a cut with a kitchen knife held by one of those that held the pictures of their supposed Gods.
"Mogi!" Matsuda gasps then they feel a sudden connection with one another.
Mogi follows his instincts and suddenly they feel even more powerful.
Matsuda suddenly glows and the hooked end extends growing sharp and large.
Mogi lets instinct take over as he slightly narrows his eyes. "Hook claw." He states before slamming the sharp ends into the back of the attackers neck. He jerks Matsuda clawing the other then releasing them. He watches in surprise as a red soul comes out of that enemy while the knife lands on the floor. He grabs it knowing that Matsuda is supposed to eat it. "We… We just did that….?"
"Seems so." Matsuda confirms then they turn as Light lands behind them.
"Get out of here!" Light shouts pushing the last few standing out of the way.
Mogi hurries after Light keeping the soul that he and Matsuda collected with them.
They all get out and across the street before turning to look back as the building goes up in flames.
Mogi and Matsuda stare at it with wide eyes.
Light slightly glances up noticing something leaving into the sky. "The witch." He says softly getting the other twos attention. "She lit the place on fire believing that she had lost all those that worked with her."
Mogi turns back to the burning building then glances down to the soul in his hand. "I guess we couldn't save them after all." He lets Matsuda turn to his human form then lets his partner eat the soul.
"It appears not." Light confirms also letting L turn human. "We should report to Lord Death about all of this." He and L head towards where they have their base set up. "He will want to know about this. Though what will happen next we can't say for sure."
Matsuda and Mogi turn following as the sirens of firetrucks can be heard in the distance.
