EVERYONE'S TIME TICKS DOWN! UNLEASH THE TEAM RESONANCE!

(A/N – Hey everybody! How have you all been? In honor of my twenty-fifth chapter, I just wanted to thank everyone who has read, followed, favorited, and reviewed my story so far and I hope a extra long chapter is enough. I met some great people who I'd like to call friends, and I know that my story didn't start out very strong but I think that it has only gotten better. I also have seen amazing stories for the pairings that I adore just stop and never be updated again, it is a sad truth of being the reader that you don't know how something ends and if the writer never tells you then you might never know. I don't want my story to be like that and I hope that my later chapters only continue to get better and maybe even get to more people as I get closer and closer to the end. Also while I can't say I'm a hundred percent sure yet, I can say that I have huge plans for a sequel to my story if people want it at the end so there's that. I also am looking for other writers who would be willing to write a story with me! If anyone is a writer or knows one who would be willing to, then leave it in a review and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Anyway sorry for the huge note, enjoy the chapter and thanks!)

The Lost Isle had become a battlefield of blood and tears as friends, enemies, and innocents were pushed into fighting against each other. Bitter enemies, like Kami and Medusa were tearing each other apart as both were bleeding and refusing to go down. Kami ran at Medusa slicing, stabbing, and slashing in an unpredictable and unorthodox style. Medusa was forced to be on the defensive as she used her new power to create a sword out of one of her arrows, a vector sword, and she used it to block the mad woman's assault. Medusa didn't think of the amount of hate this woman felt for her when she engaged in the fight, and she was paying the price now. "

You would kill a little girl for your vengeance?! Some mother you turned out to be!" she taunted, "I know about you, both of you were no better parents than me! You two fought and broke up leaving Crona in a limbo of loneliness, that's why he fights for his friends so much. It is the reason he refused to kill Maka. I won't lie I hoped they would destroy each other. Seem like I was wrong in that regard!"

Kami kicked her in the Solar Pelvis and punched her into the snow. "We may not have been perfect, but don't you dare say we're anything like you. I won't kill you, just hurt you really really badly. The master move of Kami Albarn! HEART BREAKER!" Kami made a heart shape with Spirit and the heart broke in two as the two halfs became two pink wings on Kami's back and she flew down and grabbed the witch by her throat, raising her into the air.

Medusa struggled in her hands as Kami began to choke her, a huge explosion erupted near them blowing up a chunk of the island and the pieces stabbed into Kami's back. Kami looked back at at the kids that were injured by the explosion and she dropped Medusa to go save them.

Sid and Mifune seemed to be equals in the battlefield as they evened each other on every clash. Sid was dodging and trying his best to get in close, while Mifune kept him at a distance with his blades. Each time one got a cut in, the other would even the score. Sid slid under a horizontal slice and sliced up Mifune's arm rendering it useless. Mifune kicked Sid away and threw his sword at him, cutting his eye badly. Naigus told Sid to run, but Sid refused, "This isn't about me or him Naigus! This is me fighting for Black Star, this is me showing Mifune that Black Star and the Star Clan aren't the same and that he deserved a chance to grow up happy. This is for the one I count as a son." The eruption of the nearby piece of the island drew the attention of Sid and Mifune, who were both bleeding and injured from their fight.

The two men looked at each other, "Mifune...there are children over there...we might not agree about Black Star but I know you don't want kids dead. We don't have the time for this." Mifune looked over at the chuck that was gone and he smell blood, he nodded and held his cut up arm. Sid began running to the kids as Mifune looked around the area he was at and he found a downed knocked-out child witch. She resembled a bear.

…

Giriko was having the time of his life, he was fighting a equal and they seemed to be finally taking the fight seriously. Justin continuously dodged the majority of Giriko's in attacks, but he was unable to dodge them all forcing him on the offensive and the two seemed unfazed when an explosion rang in the distance and continued to beat each other senselessly into the snow and ice. Giriko took a chance and threw a punch he knew Justin would dodge and used his other arm's chainsaw to rip into Justin's hip as he dodged the punch. Justin spit out blood and transformed his arm into a guillotine blade that he plunged into Giriko's shoulder.

"FUCK! Dammit! You son of a bitch! That hurts like a motherfucker!" the enchanter growled. Justin jumped away from the crazed weapon and pressed a hand against his hip as pieces were hanging off and his guts threaten to escape their fleshy prison. Giriko rushed at the death scythe as two huge demons appeared from nowhere standing in his way. Giriko tried to punch one, just for his arm to be grabbed and broken by the beast's mighty hand. Giriko's legs turned into chainsaws and he rushed away yelling, "This isn't over Law! We'll meet again I swear it!"

The two demons disappeared and Jinn and his wife appeared on a nearby snow hill, Zubaidah ran forward and started to help Justin the best she could, and with his face still hidden Jinn joked, "That guy Justin? Really? I expected better from you." the laughter drained out of his voice as he continued with a serious expression. "Someone is attacking the island, we need to retreat."

Justin looked up at his fellow Weapon and shrugged, "I got cocky, it happens to the best of us. If that's Lord Death's orders, then we better follow them."

…

Blair and Tukun grabbed Tabatha and flew her into an iceberg, beating her unrelentingly. She was not the strongest witch in the world and was coughing blood up in no time, not to say she was completely defenseless as a giant made of ice grabbed Blair and smashed her into the ground.

"H-how? You control ice?!" Blair gasped in surprise, she had not seen the attack coming.

Tabatha's perfect face and hair was soaked in blood and it ruined her beauty. Her expression twisted her face from anger, making her resembling a mad dog. "Yes I control ice. I have to say Blair I almost didn't recognize you in that younger form. You had the perfect body for playing with people, why would give that all up for the body of a teenage girl?"

Blair spit out a bit of blood and gave her a confident smile, "I found someone who didn't want a girl with a perfect body, he taught me that I should be myself no matter the flaws. I refuse to let him down now, so I will work with my friends and take you down!"

Tabatha looked at the girl in confusion, before a flash of envy appeared in her eyes. "Wow Blair, I always thought you were just eye candy or some bimbo, but seeing you like this, I can tell you are more than just a pretty face. You're strong, brave, and seemed to have found the one thing I have been searching for for a very long time: A person who loves you for just being you. I am jealous. I'll tell you this though, I'm not the only spy in Death City, I was poor and they came to me when my family was dying and I needed money for their treatment. I didn't want to betray you all, I'm so sorry, Blair I want to tell you. Get your people out of here, this place is just a front for something bigger, Arachne is-"

Blair looked on as a shot echoes out and a bullet hits Tabatha in the neck. Blair looks back and Tukun killed the Arachnophobia member that shot her.

Blair ran to Tabatha and held her as her neck resembled a bloody waterfall, she choked out her last words, "I-I'm...sorry...Blair...tell my...family...I loved them...I'm sorry for everything..." Her eyes glazed over and the ice creatures broke down, indicating the death of their creator . Wiping the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes, she quickly covered the body with ice. This was neither the time nor the place to grieve her friend. With a last lingering look, and an ache in her chest, she turned to find her friends - if she wanted to not lose anyone else, then she had to be both quick and brave..

…

Ox, Kilik, and Kim showed to be just as strong as a team as Spartoi and while Spartoi took on the army of grunts Ox and the others took on the army of robots. Ox was a skilled user of his partner's lighting spear form and used it to shock the robot's inner structure, he counted outsmarting them in a Crona way. Kilik used his partner's, Fire and Thunder, to punch holes through the robots in a way that resembled Black Star's style. Kim's team knew her witch soul and was very on board that she be allowed to use her magic if she so wishes. Kim used her magic in more of a offensive way, while her partner was more of a defense being a lantern and all. She used him as a fire shield and used his ability to turn the fire into different animals. She used her magic to convince the robots to attack themselves and other robots. The three worked well together as a team , as they would damage some and toss them at each other to destroy them more easily. Ox smiled as they crushed the robots, "We are the best! We are the kings of the islan-" He was met with a punch in the face by Kim.

"There are girls here too you idiot." Kilik laughed at his friends as more robots continued their way.

…

Black Star was staring at Kim's teams in the distance and grumbled unhappily that they were being show offs, as he was easily holding down some soldiers with his fist and Tsubaki's Trap Star. He looked at his friends doing their share of the fighting and yelled out, "Ninety!"

Kid was blasting into the endless amount of soldiers and any that got close enough were taken down with his death martial arts, he smirked and yelled to his friends "Eighty-eight! The most symmetrical number."

Crona was kicking and punching his way into the army and spinning Soul to take down the most he could. "That's eighty-four! We're on a roll with these guys."

All three looked over to Maka and Ragnarok, who were standing in a field of the fallen and Ragnarok shouted, "Hundred and twenty! I win assholes! Never try challenging the Ragnarok!" Maka shook her head and came back to everyone as the army were in retreat. They noticed the time and they worryingly looked into the tornado as Stein and Marie finally appeared, or more like Marie came out holding a limb Stein. Maka and Crona ran up to her and helped her as she fell, Black Star and Kid grabbed Stein and gently put him down. Marie pulled Stein to her and put his head in her lap, her eyes teared up looking down at his face as she brushed his hair out of his face in worry.

Silent tears trickled silently down her chin as she finally spoke with an exhausted voice "We weren't prepared, the tornado caused Frank's inner madness to come to the surface and he started to slash out at everything he saw. There was much to see, the tornado seems to be stuck in the time before the accident occurred. This place was once a beautiful forest with some kind of ancient temple here, I think BREW is at the tallest point of the temple. The shadows of the people that died seemed to not know that they were about to die. We were attacked by some shrimp in a suit, but Stein was already crazy and he tore the little man in half. We started to vanish and I dragged Stein to the exit and we barely got out. We didn't get BREW, we need to retreat now. Call the others and we'll leave."

Kid, Maka, Crona, and Black Star looked at the tornado and they remembered Death's and Kid's words. "We must get the weapon before our foes, so we are sending a small army to retrieve it. The weapon must be strong enough to destroy Death City if my father is sending an army." The group looked at each other and nodded, knowing what they must do. Marie looked up at her four students and noticed the sad look in their eyes.

"Crona? Maka? Kid? Hello? Didn't you all hear me, we must retreat! Call the others!" The group stepped in front of the tornado and looked back at Marie apologetically.

Marie tried to drag her tired body to stop them, but it was no use. Maka held her down and kissed her forehead, "We're so sorry Marie, we have to see this to the end. We will find BREW."

Marie shouted at them while they entered the tornado, "NO! Don't, please! I order you to stop and come back here!"

The group opened their eyes to see a place stuck in time. Marie said it perfectly, the area was stunning and they could hear the peaceful birds chirp and other animal sounds. The place was normal, but the four felt something deep down change as if they were starting to lose themselves.

Crona was the first to talk and he made the plan, "O-okay! We have to get to the center of this place, where Marie said BREW was. Everything else is second to that, we get BREW and leave."

Everyone nodded and started in the direction of said temple. As Crona and everyone neared the temple, they started to see more and more witches. They seemed to be in a rush as they were moving a huge amount of magical objects. Crona and Kid recognized one of the witches as the queen of spiders herself.

"Arachne...So this is the witch we are fighting. My father told me of her, and that he actually looked to her as a friend once upon a time. Legends tell that she created the first demon weapon."

Ragnarok apparead and scoffed at the young god, "That's bullshit. I wasn't created by her, I was once a person! I had a life before all this shit with that snake. The only thing I know about my old life was I was connected to old skull face, the kishin, and the fact I was strong."

Kid put Ragnarok's comment to the back of his mind for later and they turned to see the witches compound, and they had to admit it was impressive. The huge ancient Ziggurate temple stood tall and a device seemed to shine from the top of the temple. Black Star asked if it was BREW and Maka shrugged and began to run up the stairs to the temple. Ragnarok complained of a terrible headache, causing Kid to stop and look around as he thought he saw someone who might have caused it, but he couldn't believe his eyes. Kid walked away from his friends and chased the tall masked man he saw, when the sisters questioned him about the action, he said that he thought his father needed this information so they let him go after the man. Kid believed the man to be Eibon the wizard, and he just chased him into a old building. There was no one inside but a mouse.

Kid turned to leave, but stopped as a voice spoke., "I know you're here...maybe not today or tomorrow but I sense you to be here. I feel Lord Death's presence...but it's different maybe another of Death's children?"

Kid's heart nearly stopped as he had always been told he was the only child of Death. Eibon continued, "A reaction? I guess I have said too much, I think you need to get back to your friends young shinigami, they might need you soon." Kid ran off to the rest of the group, Eibon had said needed his help.

They had reached the top of the temple to find a small cube that glowed with a mystical light, Crona grabbed it and put it into his pocket. "We did it...We got BREW! Yes let's get the hell out of he-"

A voice interrupted Crona's celebrating and the two turned to see a shrimpy man in a suit that had a pointy nose. "I am glad you kids retrieved BREW for me, it could have been booby-trapped and I was thinking of a way to move it without touching it. Guess I overestimated Eibon's cunningness. Anyway since you three don't seem too eager to give it over, I will force you too!"

Kid was just reaching the stairs when he saw his friends coming flying down towards him. Black Star and Maka slowly stood up as Maka was shielded from too much pain because of Ragnarok, and Black Star was stubborn as all hell. Crona wasn't as lucky as his old injuries reopened and kept him on the ground, the others tried to help him to his feet, but the shrimpy man had just made his way to the bottom of the steps.

"You aren't as fragile as I'd hoped, but you have no chance against me regardless. Give me BREW or die."

Kid, Black Star and Maka stood in his way, while Soul was doing his best for Crona. "Fine kids, lets see how you handle me!" The shrimpy man's body started to glow from heat and even blow out some steam, causing the kids to back away from him. The man erupted in a shout of anger as he grew giant muscular arms. In comparison, his body looked round and his legs small and shrivel like. "I'll send your souls back to Death."

…

Marie was slamming her fist against the tornado trying to enter again, but to no avail. Kilik and his teams came over and tried to help Marie, but she shook them off and told them to get help for Stein. Blair had landed next to Marie and told her that this whole mission was a trick. After explaining, Marie looked at the huge amount of people rushing at them. Everyone was tired from the battling and stood again to fight, but Marie told them to sit. She stepped forward and she released all her anger into one strike as she shattered the island with her death hammer. Sid came up and stared at the destruction, kinda scared at the woman before him. He told her that the island was under attack and that someone was trying to blow it up, Marie looked into the tornado and explained to Sid that Spartoi were in the tornado.

He stared at it and let out a concerned "Oh..."

…

Inside the tornado Kid let out a huge wave of shots at the beast, but the bullets didn't seem to faze him. Maka and Black Star tried to slice into him, but their weapons couldn't break his steel-like skin as he grabbed them and slammed them into the ground. They got back up and tried again and again, while they tried their soul resonances the man broke their attacks as easily as Maka did to Crona so long ago.

Crona forced himself to stand, and begged Soul to transform.

After agreeing Crona dragged himself to his friends and stopped their attacks, "Guys I know we haven't perfected it, but we will die if we can't get out of here soon...I want to try the team resonance!"

Black Star ran and kicked the large man away into a wall to buy themselves time. "Crona this could kill you, you have to rest!"

Maka and Kid agreed, but Crona waved them away. "Guys come on we can do this, please trust me!"

All of them sighed and the four began to connect to each other. First Crona and Kid, then Black Star and Maka, finally the last connection was connected and the four felt an overwhelming amount of power surge throughout their bodies. Deep in their minds the group all wore black attire, suits for the guys and dresses for the girls, and each had a color that connected to them. Crona, Soul, Black Star, Maka, and Kid were on a stage with their weapons and personal demons were watching.

Crona was first to get a deal rolling, Ai the witch smiled and nodded at him. "You know the deal honey, you all sing and play the music and we will grant you the power you will need to beat your foe."Crona looked at his friends and asked why the other weapons weren't up there.

"Those girls have no black blood, but you all do so play..."Black Star appeared in drums, Soul in his piano, Maka had a guitar, Kid was the bass. Crona took a breath and grabbed the mike.

I'm falling deep into my shadow

Fading with every breath

As I embrace the deadly night

So scary, but I can't give into this

Fear of leaving you alone

Because all the witches can see it in my eyes

See you in your dreams, don't worry baby

Your nightmares too, that's where I'll find you

Fairy Blue

It is only for you

I would take the stars above

And display them high with my

Black Paper Moon

If you truly put your love in me

When you're lost, here I am

"Forever" with your soul

Waiting here above you patiently

Just like a Shining Moon

A demon rises to the surface

Of the crimson sweetness that I had

Locked away deep within

Your destiny isn't so unchangeable

Anything that you can dream

You can live that dream just don't give up yet

Don't you try to use deceit on me

I will not break, I will sent you free

Fairy Blue

You are my everything

The reason I won't fall

In this captivity,

Forever

If you raise your voice and cry for me

I will find you, my dear

Wherever you or I may be

And I won't stop till I set you free from this ensnaring curse

There are times when no one believes in me and

There are times where I feel like I'm

Degraded and mad

But even in those times your words always come from within

My heart

This is my promise

Fairy Blue

It is only for you that I would smash the stars

And use them as a path

To prove to you that I'm there

And any time that you're lost or afraid, or you can't see your dreams

I want you to look up at your Black Paper Moon

As the music led the way for the demons to access the bodies of the meisters, they all changed in appearance. Kid's mouth now had five black stripes on it and his hair became messy, Black Star had a star pupil and the star mark had turned black, Maka's eyes had x-shaped pupils, and finally Crona's eyes turned red. Out in the real world, Mosquito stared at the meisters and charged them, just to be met with a barrage of black bullets that threw him into the temple, while he recovered he felt as though a bolt of lighting shocked through him. Black Star hit him with his soul wave and kicked him to Maka, who used Ragnarok like a bat and knocked him into the sky. Crona ran and backflipped off the temple using his witch hunter to knock him back into the Earth. The group turned back into themselves and they left the man behind, sure he was dead. Their bodies were tired and Crona fell under the pain. Maka and Soul were first to grab his arms as they half dragged, half carried him to the exit. They had been in there seventeen minutes, it was time to leave.

Kid looked back to see his father arrive in the compound, though he wanted to keep watching he knew they had to leave. He saw Arachne leaving the area in a flash, 'How strange' he thought she left a long time ago. As they exited the tornado, they were met by a furious Marie who gave them a stern lecture until she saw how tired they were and gave them all hugs. She took them to the helicopter that everyone was leaving on.

The Lost Isle started to fall apart in the explosion as they left, and the students only have listened to Sid's explanation. A knocked out Crona was given to his parents, Maka stayed with Marie, Black Star and Tsubaki went to Sid, Kid talked to the twins about what they saw, and Soul was comforting Blair.

Not a single one of them noticed the second helicopter that picked up Arachnophobia or the retreating witches that followed Mabaa on their broomsticks. Roxie watched as the Lost Isle finally disappeared under the waves, she flashed back to a memory back a little while ago when the first explosion had hit her and she awoke to see a man towering above her. The man said his name was Mifune and that he thought she was trying to help, but there were innocents dying in the explosion and if she wanted to do the right thing, she had to warn others before blowing them up. She agreed and he vanished after giving her a candy, she warned one down DWMA student, a witch, and even a Arachnophobia member before blowing up more chunks. She had deemed herself a natural party now, she had no idea on which side to support, but she thought back to Death the Kid and him helping her. "Maybe I should talk to him...I could get information on who is right or wrong."

…

While the battle on the Lost Isle was happening, on the other side of the earth Arachne was entering a cave where Asura had been hiding. She found him in a dark corner, and walked up to him and slowly touched his shoulder.

Immediately, the kishin jumped to his feet and grabbed her throat, "Do you have a death wish? Don't you know who I am?! I am-"

Arachne touched his face with an almost attentive expression and whispered softly so as not to spoke him, as though he was a fragile and scared animal. A wrong move on her part would end in her demise, she needed to be careful, "Asura...son of Death and the kishin, but more importantly you're handsome."

Asura let her go in surprise, his heart beating in his chest in as he stared at the woman and felt fear, anger, suspicion and confusion. "How do you know who I am?"

Arachne smiled and didn't back off, instead she wrapped her arms around him carefully before hugged him closer to her, "Because I decided that I love you." She pressed her lips lightly against him, and a moment later he returned the kiss with uncertainty. It had been centuries since the last time another being held him this close without stinking of fear.
