Ch 20
As Maka had came to the entrance of the underworld she was about to enter when suddenly she was gripped on the arm.
"You can't do this Maka."
Maka pulled her arm away from the messenger god.
"Soul don't stop me from doing what is right! He won't let him leave and rather have innocent lives dying!"
"Maka I had a talk with Kid and he might take it to consideration…"
"Please as if he cares…"
"There's a way where everyone wins. Demeter will have to accept it but at least she will have Crona, just not in the way she wants it."
"You serious?! This won't be acceptable! I have to stop this before it's too late!"
Before soul can stop her, she put on the cloak and disappeared. Soul exhaled and decided to go tell spirit about this. He could try to stop her but then she could find a way to get soul lost. Telling spirit so he can deal with this would be better.
In the underworld-
As Maka was entering in the kingdom she heard Crona humming as he was replanting some roses to spread. Maka slowly crept to the garden only for Crona to turn as if he knew she was there. Crona crept slowly from her direction.
"Crona please don't run I want to say I'm sorry!"
Crona although still scared was a little less tense but was ready to run.
"Crona I'm sorry for what I did! I shouldn't assume for what I did, please I only wanted you to be happy."
"Maka… I'm not mad at you anymore for that. I forgive you."
"Listen Crona I need to tell you tell you what's happening. All the plants in life are dying and mortals are next to go…"
"What do you mean?"
"After the last attempt to bring you home, I told Demeter what happened. She was furious! She decided and threaten if she couldn't have her son back then they won't have the source of their food either… I found out from soul that there was a way for everyone to not die. But he didn't tell me. But him negotiating is like talking to a stone, he won't listen. Please come back with me to Demeter…"
But little did Maka know Crona overheard kid talking. And he heard what soul suggested. In truth he didn't want to go back even if his mother threatened.
"I need to speak with kid…" but before Crona could go Maka had stopped him.
"Crona listen to me you need to go see your mother, she misses you!"
"Maka let me see Kid!" Crona said pulling out his weapon. "I don't want to fight you…"
"You won't have to…"
Before Crona could say why, Maka tossed the vial toward Crona. as the vial cracked the liquid inside became gas. Crona coughing suddenly began to fall only for Maka to catch him
Maka had grabbed Crona and ran off, leaving only a sword.
