As Filia and Maka continued their way through the castle, they soon came into a room that was designed to look like some night club
"What? Did they just wanna take a break or something?" Soul asked as they looked around.
"Ah. Welcome one and all." Said a voice on stage.
Who Do we have here?
On the stage was a woman dressed in egyptian like clothing and beside her were a jackal and a bird dressed in suits. "It's been awhile, hasn't it, Samson?" She asked.
"Eliza. Or should I just call you...Sekhmet." Samson said as the woman's body opened to reveal a skeletal cat creature underneath.
"Oh. And you got a new host. Hope she lasts alot longer than the last one." They both said.
"You know this chick?" Soul asked.
"Her name's Eliza. She's a singer in this nightclub back in New Meridian. Underneath her skin is the skeletal parasite Sekhmet. They killed someone I cared about a long time ago. I will never forgive them for that!" Samson shouted.
"Aw come now. Were you really that attached to her? Although, her blood did make a nice treat." Eliza grinned enraging Samson.
"Her souls a Kishin Egg. We take her out, I'm one step closer to being a death scythe." Soul said.
"We cant pass through here if she's here. So, we have to take her out, she's pure evil." Filia said.
"Aw. The cuties think they can beat someone like me. Albus, Horace, you know what to do." Eliza said referring to the two suited up animals.
"You got it, Boss." the jackal known as Albus said.
"We'll have them licked in no time flat." Horace said.
"Show us what you really look like, you freaks of nature!" Soul said.
"Sure thing. Been awhile since we were in our true forms." Albus said. "Oh, and you ain't fighting the boss just yet. You gotta get to the top, and through us first."
Albus and Horace Glowed white and black. Where they stood, Horace took on the form of a man with a falcon head with a spear and crook and had yellow wings, while Albus was a man with a jackals head with a sword and sharp teeth.
The floor crumbled and Filia, Maka, Horace and Albus were sent down.. down, into a new room that looked like a babylonian archive.
"Of course. Horus and Anubis, that's who you two are based on." Maka said looking at the two.
"Yeah. We happen to be descendants of those two deities actually." Albus said.
"And now we're going to kill all of you in their honor." Horace said.
Time to Let Loose!
Filia and Maka vs Horace and Albus
(Cue: Killer instinct Kan-Ra dynamic)
"Right. Let's finish off this trash." Horace said.
"Ain't nobody touching Lady Eliza." Albus said.
"Your souls will be ours." Maka said.
"Split skulls, not hairs." Samson said.
It's...SHOWTIME!
Horace and Albus began by lunging at the two. Albus clashing weapons with Maka and Horace clashing his spear with Filia.
"Once we kill you, we're gonna give your blood over to Lady Eliza. It'll be perfect for her." Albus said.
The two continued to clash, scythe on sword. As they fought, the book opened on the altar, all the runes glowing blue.
"It must be a special property. I heard in Killer Instinct, the environments change in the stage as the fights go on." Maka said.
The two teams then found themselves in a large desert with a few pyramids in the background. "Ah, Egypt. Home sweet home. And where you will soon be buried." Horace said quickly overpowering Filia.
"Only one chance. Filia! Can parasite and host resonate souls?" Maka asked.
"You mean… the same thing you and soul do?" Filia asked.
"Well, we do share a lot of stuff and a soul is one of them, but I would take full control of her body once it starts." Samson said.
"In our world, Miester and Weapon fight together. So if you really do care for Filia as her host… you gotta try it." Soul said.
"Should we try it Samson? I want to help you with your past." Filia said.
"You know, you just might be my best host yet. Okay, we're with ya girl." Samson said. Black energy formed around Filia. With maka's abilites, she could see Filia and Samson's souls as they connected.
"Well, is it working?" Soul asked.
"Let's go, Soul Resonance!" Filia and Samson said. Filia's hair then surrounded every inch of her body cover ing her like armor. Samson's face was now on the chest.
"Yep, It worked." Maka said.
"Wow. This feels really weird." Filia said.
"Same here kid. But its gonna be our big win now." Samson said.
"If you're done talking, we wish to kill you forthwith!" Horace said.
"Yeah! Let's just end it!" Albus shouted as the two leapted into the air with weapons raised.
"Hairpocalypse!" Filia shouted as Samson began beating the living daylights out of the two in the air. "This is for Delilah!" Samson said delivering a final punch, knocking the two out and into a pyramid.
K.O!
The two teams soon found themselves back in the archives along with the unconscious Albus and Horace. A screen on the wall then appeared.
"Lord Death? You were watching the entire time?" Maka asked.
"Yes. I've actually been watching all of you kids since Termina. I have eyes and ears everywhere." He said. "And I must say, for a new type of Soul Resonance to be born, that's truly amazing."
"Uh, thanks...weird skull faced guy?" Filia said unsure about what to say.
"Now, you and the other teams need to be careful. Eliza is guarding Pandora, along with Akuma and Ogre. Knowing all threes histories, you will have to be extra careful. Also, I've been getting a strange reading from inside the castle, its a strange one and it keeps moving all about the castle." He said.
"It's Double. She's picking up the defeated opponents and adding them to her body." Samson said.
"Well, it is coming from where Double is going, but there's something else inside her. Something...unnerving. Be careful when confronting her." Lord Death said as the screen went black.
"Hmm." Dedenne said. "Based on Double's position, I'd say shes gonna run right into….the team of Painwheel and Pit!"
