I do not own Soul eater however I do own Stella and all the Earth Seven variants
Chapter 14: Maka
When Maka began to come out of the madness she heard a scream, but she couldn't focus on that, first she had to pull herself out. "Soul!" She called out
"Maka!" He said descending down too try and pull her out
"Pull me out of the madness, hurry!" She yelled if she stayed in to much longer she'd never come back too herself
"Hang on" Soul said reaching for her his soul grabbed hers and pulled suddenly she came back too herself
"Crona! Baki" She said she looked over to see the black haired teen still laying in a heap, he was no longer bleeding, she then looked over at Crona. And it was back. He was screaming, the black blood was rejecting him, she frowned and set soul aside next too Baki
"What are you doing" Soul asked
"Just wait here a moment soul" She said
"You'll get skewered if you get close to him" Soul said She smiled and turned to Crona who was thrashing around, spikes of blood shooting out and descending in every which direction.
"Stay away!" Crona yelled
"Hey!" Soul said
"Don't be scared. It's okay" Maka says being too approach Crona he continued to scream "You're just a little shaken up, that's all, it's okay now" the spikes hit her in the legs and became thick "It's….Alright" she said as she fell onto him he stilled and stopped screaming "Now I can understand it, you're wavelength" She hugged him "It's not that you don't know how to deal with people, it's that no one ever took the time too deal with you"
"It's alright now" Crona says "I've already been given up on plenty of times anyway. I understand I'm not needed for anything anymore, that's why I decided just now, that it would be best for me too disappear" Maka held him tighter for a moment before pulling away, without a word she took out her book and hit him over the head with it, not as hard a she did too soul, but hard enough to get through too him, she heard a chuckle that turned into a pained moan from behind her, she took off her glove
"What do you say" She said "Will you let me be your friend Crona, please say you will" She smiled at the pink haired boy tears began to build up in his eyes
"Really" He said crying "But I still don't know how to deal with other people" Maka took his hand and held it as he cried she now knew why Stella had her fight him
"The fear of interacting with other people huh" Soul says
"I'm sure anyone gets that" Baki said Maka turned back too see the black haired boy sitting up
"Are you alright?" She asked
"I'm alive '' Baki says "Stella….. How did she know? How. she wasn't there when he got through to her."
"Huh?" Maka said
"My friend, Mak got threw too our Crona just a few days ago, Stella wasn't there, so I'm trying too figure out how she knew you would get threw too Crona. Well congratulations are in order, you just altered the fate of your world for the better, Crona will not become a Keshin." Baki said, both he and soul came and stood with them, Baki behind Crona and Soul behind her, they all turned too the crying boy
"Maka we're running out of time" Soul said "We need too get moving"
"But we cant leave him here like this" Maka says
"He wont be alone, I'll stay here, I cant go far anyway" Baki says "I'm too injured, as much as I hate too admit it if I go out and fight anymore I'll die, and then Stella will kill me"
"Screw you guys!" A small voice said, Maka and Soul looked around, Baki looked annoyed a tiny version of Ragnarok appeared and grabbed Maka, Baki tried too get him off of her
"Damn you little girl" He said
"You're Tiny" Soul said
"What the hell did you do! Why am I so little now!" Ragnarok said Maka was trying too push Ragnarok off of her as Baki was pulling it was no use
"Let go of her" Soul said helping too push
"You and Crona friends, you got to be kidding me! Who'd wanna be friends with someone like this? He isn't even any fun!"
"Quit it! Get off" Crona said
"I got it! You wanna keep him around as a punching bag. Bullying him is a excellent way too reduce stress. That's what you want him for isn't it"
"Get gone you little freak" Soul says
"Scram, Ragnarok, you ain't scaring no one!" Baki says
"Well too bad! I'm the only one who can beat up Crona-" Ragnarok says
"Hey, quit it!" Crona says
"He's mine you can't have him" Ragnarok says
"Get off of me, I said get off now!" Crona punched up and hit Ragnarok in the face the black blob of a being let go of Maka
"Bravo Crona" Baki said softly stepping back Ragnarok was still for a moment clearly not expecting that, Maka and Soul also looked surprised
"Gwarghhhh" Ragnarok screamed it a was sound similar to what Stella made when they woke her up in the morning halfway between a word and yell. Maka knew that because she had helped Tsubaki too get the witch up one morning
"Huh?" Soul and Maka both said
"How could you punch me Crona. I don't believe it!" Ragnarok was pulling on Crona now
"You guys go ahead, there isn't any time too waste" Baki says
"You sure" Maka says
"Yeah I got Crona, and the angry black blob over there, I can handle this" Baki says Maka and soul looked at each other. Soul transformed and they took off
"I wonder if the others caught up with the ones who had the black blood" Maka said
"Are your wounds healing oaky?" Soul asked in weapon form
"Some black scabs have stopped the bleeding" Maka said "Let's catch up to the others" They ran good way until they reached a all but destroyed hallway laying in the middle was Stella
"Stella!" Soul said
"Guh" Stella groaned
"Is she alright?" Soul asked
"I'm fine" Stella mumbled
"You're covered in blood" Maka says
"Yeah… just exhausted" Stella says "Used to much magic, Where is Baki? Is he alright"
"Maka we're running out of time" Soul says
"Souls right tell me on the way" Stella says conjuring her floating star and climbing on
"I thought you said you used too much magic" Maka says
"I don't think I can even walk right now, I have a little left in my reserves" Stella says "I haven't reached a magical exhaustion yet, but I doubt I'll be able too use anything much more powerful than this right here. Come on we haven't any time too waste"
"Right" Maka said they stared down the hall
"So what happened with Crona?" Stella said
"He's out of the madness, Baki is staying with him" Maka says
"Good, I knew you could do it" Stella says they passed through a hallway that was completely destroyed "Kid and Free fought here"
"Are you sure?" Maka said looking over at her, the star was flickering
"Yeah, I teleported Blackstar too him Rune wasn't gonna just let him pass and fight me"
"Rune?" Soul asked
"The enchantress" Stella said "I challenged her to a proper witches duel, the specs of that is both sides knowing the others name"
"How did kid get by her" Maka said
"She arrived late" Stella says "I didn't kill her but I won the fight so she had too leave the terms of a witches duel are binding, you physically can not go against your word. It's impossible, she had no choice but too leave"
"You're star is flickering" Maka says
"I know, we're getting close, it should make- NO!" Stella says
"What?" Maka says
"He's back, we're too late!" Stella fell off her star, Maka turned too help her
"No go on without me, I can't do anything against the Keshin. You have too hold him there until lord death escapes. I'll catch up I promise" Stella says
"Right!" Maka said and she took off running full speed, when she got their, Blackstar and Kid were laying on the ground, Tsubaki was trying too wake Blackstar up, there was a massive hole with a strip of something going in it. Maka ran and grabbed on too that
