Chapter Twenty One: Family Complex

Chrona was the first to notice that something was off. She recognized the look of fear in Patty's ayes as hers when she thought of Medusa back then, the days of darkness for her. Chrona gripped at her dress tightly, ready to act. She mentally communicated with Ragnarok, telling him to prepare himself.

Maka and Soul were startled when Patty suddenly shoved the blonde woman away from her, screaming, 'DON'T TOUCH ME!'

'What the-' asked Soul.

Maka stepped forward, 'Patty-chan?'

Alexx feigned hurt as she reached forward, 'Patricia?'

'STAY BACK! Don't come close!' cried Patty frantically as she took a few steps back, swinging her giraffe plushy wildly in front of her.

Maka was confused, why is her friend acting in such a way to her mother? The mother who had been searching for her for years. She would be thrilled if it was her own mother who came looking for her. There was movement in the corner of her eyes and she gasped when Chrona put herself between Patty and Alexx; a stern expression on her face as she spoke, 'Please, stay back. You're upsetting Patty-chan!'

Patty hid behind the taller girl and gripped at her dress. Chrona's frown deepened when she heard the girl let out a small whimper. Alexx frowned at her, 'Don't you dare interrupt my reunion with my daughter!'

'Patty doesn't want to see you!' said Chrona louder than she intended.

Maka's eyes widened when she realized what Chrona meant. She looked at Soul in the corner of her eyes and he looked at her in the same way. He nodded his head, signaling that he was ready if something happened.

Alexx bowed her head, 'Fine, if you won't let me have her… I'll take her by force.'

Chrona's head snapped back when a bullet hit her square in her forehead. Soul transformed and Maka caught him, 'CHRONA!'

Before she could get to her fallen friend, Alexx spun around and aimed her right hand at the Meister and shot 2 rounds at her which she blocked using Soul. The Scythe grunted in pain at the impact of the compressed energy bullets. Maka took a peek and saw that Alexx's right arm had transformed to a barrel of a gun, well, from the size, she assumed Alexx's weapon form is a big gun probably a canon but she doesn't know what model. Heck, she doesn't know anything much about guns either!

Patty whimpered as she shook Chrona, 'C-Chrona-chan?'

Chrona shut her eyes tightly and groaned as she sat up rubbing the red spot on her forehead where the bullet hit her at point blank, 'Oww, that really hurts.'

'That was really close! If I wasn't prepared we'd be dead!' said Ragnarok.

Chrona turned to Patty, 'Are you okay?'

Patty nodded her head slowly. She flinched when she heard her mother fire another 3 more rounds at Maka and Soul. She was hauled up to her feet by Chrona and dragged inside the house. They ran toward the stairs, 'Patty-chan, is there anyplace in this mansion that you can hide safely?'

Patty blinked her eyes, 'Uhh… the attic!'

They stopped at the second floor. Chrona nodded, 'Okay, go up there and hide. We'll take care of your umm, mother.'

The younger Thompson frowned, 'But Chrona-'

She didn't get to finish because Chrona had ran back downstairs. Patty stood there staring at the stairs going down and at the end of the hallway, where she knew the secret pathway was located. She clenched her fists and thought hard about her next move.

By the time Chrona ran out of the doors with Ragnarok in hand, she was met with an intense battle. Maka was having difficulty counterattacking, most of the time she had to defend herself and Alexx had kept her at a good distance from herself. The woman was barraging Maka with her bullets, pushing her further and further back. Chrona braced herself as she swung Ragnarok into a vertical arc, 'Screech ALPHA!'

The ground cracked as the black energy wave released by the swordswoman moved toward Alexx. The woman noticed the danger a fraction to slow and it exploded as it hit her. Maka lowered her guard slightly, 'Good one Chrona-chan!'

'Don't lower your guard stupid bitch!' said Ragnarok.

'Hey!' said Maka unhappily.

The meisters stumbled when the earth shook beneath them. They stared at the dissipating cloud of dust and saw a huge magenta soul, which looks like a normal soul with two large barrels of a canon-like gun sticking out, pointing at them. They tensed when they saw Alexx, unscathed. The woman's eyes glowed menacingly, 'Playtime's over kiddies. Time to get serious! INSANITY FUSION!'

'What?' asked Maka confused. She could feel the hair at the back of her neck standing when there was a disturbance in the atmosphere. Her eyes widened and she felt a cold shiver ran up her spine when black sparks surrounded Alexx's magenta soul.

The Shibusen meisters watched as the shadows shifted and wrapped around Alexx. The woman began to change form. Both her arms took shape of a pair of canon barrels with the diameter of 6 inches. She wore a long sleeveless black dress with V-neck that was cut low, revealing her cleavage. The dress splits in front and at the back. Underneath, she wore dark brown tights and knee length high-heeled leather boots with silver studs lining the outer sides, shaped like a spade. A silver half mask covered her eyes where there are the 3 Insanity eyes on it, the eyes glowed red, and there were tribal marks on both sides of her face. Around her neck she wore two leather chokers with chains and spikes that match the three belts around her waist. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, held high on her head.

'Whoa… what just happened?' asked Soul.

'I… I don't know. She's able to do a Soul Resonance but… but she doesn't have a meister! How is that possible?'

'It's what they call Insanity Fusion,' said a new voice.

Everyone turned to Reiji who was standing behind them. The weapon slowly walked forward and stopped a few feet in front of Maka, 'It's a resonance made with the Insanity Wave. But only a few can do this… these few are followers of Scelus.'

Maka's attention turned to Alexx, 'You mean, Liz and Patty's mom is-'

'GET DOWN!' cried Reiji.

Maka and Crona fell flat on the ground just as two large energy bullets flew over them and hit the wall behind them, it exploded with a loud boom. Reiji on the other had sunk into the shadows. He appeared behind Alexx, catching her off guard as he swung his right blade (arm) at her. She quickly raised her left arm and the blade clanked loudly against her metal arm. She grinned, 'P.B.R. (Point Blank Range)!'

Reiji's eyes widened in shock when she opened her mouth and it glowed. He barely dodged the energy bullet that shot out from her mouth, it missed his face by a good two inch, and he could feel the searing from it, as it flew by, on his face. He twisted his body and swung his left arm toward her right side but she had quickly leaped aside and aimed her canons at him. While her bullets were charging, she was interrupted by another long distance attack from Chrona.

As the woman recovered she found herself being attacked by both Maka and Reiji. She protected herself from their blades with her arms, pushed them back and took a shot at each of them. Maka managed to defend herself using Soul but Reiji was unfortunately thrown off balance and it hit him square in the chest, sending him crashing into the ground a good few meters back. He groaned as he sat up shaking his head. He stared down at his singed clothes, scarred chest exposed, 'Damn it, this was my favorite shirt!'

Maka let out a grunt as she landed beside Chrona. The other meister sliced her wrist and swung her arm toward the blonde woman. Alexx saw tiny black orbs at the corner of her eyes, then she heard someone shouted, 'BLOODY NEEDLE!'

Spikes shot out from the black orbs and some of them grazed her. She hissed when one of the needles left a deep cut on her left cheek. She wiped the blood with a thumb and growled, anyone who marred her face never saw the next sunrise. She clapped her hands together and the two barrels merged as one big canon barrel, 'BIG BANG!'

Chrona stood frozen as the huge ball of energy was flying toward her really fast. Maka's eyes widened, no one at that moment would be able to pull Chrona out of the bullet's range. Ragnarok cussed as he realized their dangerous situation. Time slowed down as the bullet approached the swordswoman but it suddenly sped up when Chrona felt a weight slammed into her side and she fell onto the ground, hard. She was in a daze for a second until she heard Maka screamed with terror, 'PATTY-CHAN!'

Chrona quickly stood up and saw Patty lying on her lap. She paled when she saw the huge gash on the smaller girl's back. The girl's back was exposed, her clothes burnt and stuck to her red bloody skin. It was as if Patty's back had been burnt by a fire that had been put out instantly but too late. Then it clicked to her, Patty wasn't moving.

'P-Patty… chan?'

Vanessa wiped away the tears with the back of her hand as she ran down the road, nimbly dodging other people who are taking the road. She nearly tripped on her own feet a number of times as she took sharp turns. She slowed down when she was approaching an apartment. She stared at the old rundown looking building then ran inside and headed for the mail boxes. She faltered when she saw a note stuck to mailbox number 8 which says:

We're out at the moment. If you need us, we'll be at Shibusen's training ground 30.

Mifune-sensei and Angela X3

The Kitsune Witch sighed. She sniffed and wiped away the tears. She shook her head and looked up with determination. Nodding to herself with her own decision she ran out of the building heading back to Shibusen. She stopped when she heard an explosion, the people around her gasped in fear and shock. They wondered what or where that came from. Vanessa saw smoke coming from a distance, 'What was that?'

A shadow flew above her and she saw Kim flew pass her overhead. The Tanuki Witch stopped and looked back at the smoke, 'That came from Shinigami-sama's place!'

'Kimmy-chan!' cried Vanessa waving her hand.

The other witch looked down and saw her. She flew down and had a relieved look on her face, 'Vanessa! Where have you been? We were worried about you!'

'I'm sorry… I was looking for Angie-chan…'

'You mean Angela?'

She nodded. She jumped when she heard Liz's worried voice, 'Kim! Take me back to the mansion!'

Kim patted her bag, 'Okay, c'mon Vanessa!'

The smaller witch took her offered hand and sat behind her. They took off and sped toward the thick grey smoke. Vanessa peeked beside Kim and she gasped when she saw the destroyed structures of some buildings nearby Shinigami-sama's mansion. She shuddered when she felt a strong insane aura coming from the mansion's compound. She felt Kim tensed as the older witch whispered, 'Oh no…'

'W-what is it Kimmy-chan?'

Alexx stood stunned. Her eyes on Patty's unmoving form lying on top of the lavender haired girl known as Chrona, her bloody back exposed. Something inside her, a feeling she hasn't felt for so long, snapped. She was about to run to her daughter's side when something flew toward her and rammed into her abdomen. Then there was a flash and a deafening noise… and pain.

Kim's face was etched with worry as she did a nosedive. Vanessa let out a startled yelp and held onto the other girl tightly. Kim wrapped and arm around the smaller witch then leaped off Jacqueline while shouting out, 'WOLLANTERN!'

Jacqueline rocketed toward Alexx and then exploded just as Kim and Vanessa landed on the ground next to Maka. She caught Jacqueline as the lantern returned then turned her attention to the situation at hand, 'What HAPPENED? And who was that?'

'S-she said she's Liz and Patty's mom… she attacked us when we don't allow her to take Patty,' said Maka shakily.

There was a pink flash and Liz appeared beside Kim, her face showed immense anger and hatred, 'What?'

Everyone tensed when she appeared. The older Thompson blinked her eyes, then slowly gazed down at Chrona who was trying her best to hide Patty's injury from her. Liz froze at the sight of blood on Patty's clothes. Kim stepped into her view, 'Don't worry Liz! I can fix her!'

'No… you… can't…' said Liz with despair and hatred. The girl turned toward the thick smoke when there was a sound. They saw Reiji holding up Alexx, who had returned to normal, by her right arm. The woman was leaning slightly toward him as she was forced to her feet. Anger flashed in Liz's eyes at the sight of her mother. She marched toward the duo and grabbed Alexx by the front of her shirt, 'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?'

Alexx coughed, 'E… Elizabeth… h-how's Patri..cia?'

Liz growled, 'What are you doing here?'

'Liz… please… tell me…' said Alexx with glazed eyes on Patricia. She saw light coming from the hands of the pink haired girl who had her hands hovering over Patty.

'Why? Why do you care? You never care about us!'

Alexx was silent for a long time, then she spoke with a small smile, 'That's right… I don't care… but I love you both no matter how much you hate me…'

Liz raised a fist to hit the woman but Reiji caught her by her wrist and shook his head, 'Enough! I need to take her to Shibusen for interrogation.'

The girl shook with anger and very reluctantly released her grip, letting Alexx fall on her knees. She turned away and looked at Kim who managed to close Patty's wound. The skin where it healed was pinkish but it wasn't bleeding anymore and that's a relief. Kim said something and Chrona stood up with Patty in her arms, black bat like wings sprout out from her back. Liz watched the girl took off with her sister, flying toward the nearest hospital.

Liz's ears perked when she heard Alexx whispered, 'Target locked…'

Liz spun around just as an energy bullet flew toward the Scythe wielder, 'MAKA! WATCH OUT!'

Maka gasped as she spun around. Kim stepped out with Jacqueline in hand, 'SPITTING JACK!'

A stream of fire flew out from Jacqueline like a dragon breathing fire. The energy bullet seemed to explode when it encountered the flame. Maka and Kim however were caught off guard when three smaller energy bullets flew toward Maka. The Scythe wielder quickly spun Soul to deflect the bullets; she got two and missed one. The bullet hit her left shoulder and she let out a pained cry. Kim ran to her aide just as Maka fell to her knees clutching her injured shoulder.

Liz turned to her mother, 'YOU-'

She paused when she saw that her mother's eyes had turned into nothing but black void, her mouth wide open. Reiji was kneeling over the woman and he was scowling as he looked up, 'She's gone.'

'What?'

'She's gone… dead.'

Whoa, Alexx is one very short-lived OC for this story. Oh wells~ anyway I made up all of Alexx's skills and Kim's 'Spitting Jack'. LOL, why 'spitting'? seriously I dunno! Wahahahaha! And I was imagining Alexx to be a weapon who is able to transform to any sort of guns (kinda like Tsubaki with the ability to transform to any ninja weapons). Too bad I have no more roles for her in this story...

Please leave a review~ Love ya'll!
