Mosaku, Jacob, and Dylan all sat in Mosaku's room, thinking. "Do either of you know where we can find this…Mekain?" Mosaku asked. He tried to piece together Maka's mask. Jacob nodded. "I met him once. He is very wise and runs a store in Tokyo."
"We can bring you there." Dylan offered. "It's the least we can do for causing this mess."
Mosaku smiled. "Thanks." Mosaku said. "But I have a feeling just Jacob can't stop Maka. We need some more help. Time to call up some friends."
The Last Recruit
Mosaku dialed the number. She had given it to him in case of an emergency. "Liz?" Moskau said. "Hey, we got a situation…yeah, it's bad. Come as soon as you can." Mosaku hung up the phone with a click.
A few hours later, Liz and Kairi appeared at Maka's door. "What happened?" Liz asked when they went into Mosaku's room with Jacob and Dylan. "We don't exactly know." Mosaku said. "What we do know is that something is wrong with Maka. He attacked me."
Liz gasped. "What do we do?" Kairi asked. "I'll tell you what we will do." Mosaku said. "First, we have to get one last recruit. Next, we find this Mekain and ask him what is going one. Finally, we find Maka and turn him back to normal."
"Who are the last recruits?" Jacob asked. Mosaku sighed. "Some old friends, Amber and Cari."
Mosaku, Amber, Jacob, Liz and Dylan stood in front of Mosaku's old friend's house. It brought bad memories of the past back to Mosaku. It would be the first time Mosaku would see Cari and Amber in six months. Mosaku walked up their porch and rang their doorbell.
Cari opened the door. Her long red hair was cut short, unlike the last time Mosaku saw her. She had also grown. Her eyes were still as big as before and her freckles stayed too. She gasped. "Mo…Mosaku?" She gave him a hug. "It has been so long! Does this mean you forgive Amber and me for what we did?"
Mosaku separated the hug. Amber saw the look on his face and realized something was wrong. "What happened?" She said, sounding worried. She took a quick look around the group. "And where is Maka."
Mosaku sighed. "That's the problem. There is something wrong with Maka."
"Wh-what is it?" She asked. "We don't know." Mosaku said. "But we do know he is powerful and we need as much help as we can." Cari nodded. "I understand. AMBER!" she called. Stomps could be heard coming down the stairs. Amber appeared. She was still the same. She still wore blue jeans and a blue shirt. She still had her purple ribbon around her neck. Her eyes were still just as big as Cari's and her blue hair was still worn long. She froze up as soon she saw Mosaku.
"You have returned!" Amber ran up to him and hugged his legs. "Have you forgiven us for what we did?" she asked. Mosaku nodded. Amber hugged him tighter.
"Amber," Cari said. "Mosaku needs our help. Maka is having some problems and he needs our help. Should we help them?"
Amber tried to look puzzled. "Hmm, I guess, if we can find some time in our schedule."
Mosaku smiled. The final recruit was, well, recruited. Now, to find Mekain. Jacob and Dylan would help with that.
Gemik Maka's First Battle
Maka had found a mamodo team in a field next to an industrial factory. The grass there was brown and dead. The air was smelly and probably would kill you if you inhaled too much of hit. A river was there, but its waters were brown and sludgy. The sky was dark and pollution clouded.
The mamodo was taller than old Maka and had filthy, limping gray hair. Its clothes wore a step bellow rags. His eyes were pupiless, like Maka's, and gray. His name was Sindre.
His book reader's face was skinny and gray. He looked like something out of the grave.
His book was smoke gray. His name was Randolf Smeegrus.
Randy's mamodo inhaled deeply. "Ah, don't you love that filthy air? It gets me very…happy."
Maka smiled. Maka himself was a little more different. He had more cracks on his face. His hair had a line of red down the middle. "Yes, destruction and death is most gratifying." He smiled evilly. "Death, especially." He lifted his hand. It trickled with electricity. He shot a pink lightening blast.
"Smoshield!" Randy cast. Sindre inhaled and breathed out a circle of smog. The lightening hit it. It swam around in the brown smoke and was fired back, except this time it was brown.
Maka smiled. He lifted his hands and they turned huge and wooden. The brown lightening hit his fist and they caught fire. Maka shrunk his hands again and they were still on fire he blew on each and the fires went out. Next, Maka put his hands on the ground. His arms trickled with lightening. The ground caught fire. Maka stood in the center. He lifted his arms and the flames flew into his palms. Two huge fireballs were in his hands. He tossed them both.
"Fire?" Sindre said. "Wrong choice. Slureem!" Randy said. Sindre shot two shots of acid and they collided with the fireballs. The acid caught fire and the sludge fell to the ground.
Sindre looked at Maka. Maka laughed. "You have drawn out defeat long enough. Now, to finish you." He lifted his arms straight up. Suddenly, he brought them straight down into the earth. "Muka!" Randy yelled. Sindre started to exhale a brown-green gas. A huge tree appeared beneath Maka. He stood at the top with his arms crossed. He was out of reach of the poisonous gas.
"That is it." Sindre said. He looked at Randy. Randy nodded his skull-like head. "Lushonu Morintei!" He called. Sindre slammed his hands into the ground. A shockwave erupted throughout the dead field. After the wave, sludge appeared everywhere. Sindre laughed as the tree slowly started to melt into the acids.
Maka giggled at their efforts. He shaped his hands like a gun and shot a fireball out of his index finger. When he did so, a few more lines of red hair appeared. The fireball hit the sludge and it all caught fire. "Oh no!" Sindre called. Maka began to laugh evilly out loud. Sindre caught fire, as well as Randy. Everything burned to the ground. Soon, the flames reached the nearby factory and that exploded. Maka walked away, quietly giggling.
"Yes, death is most gratifying indeed." He said. As he did so, a few more cracks formed on his face. "The transformation is almost complete. Soon, I will win this battle."
