"Justin is here… maybe. A man named Noah is with him." Tesca warns the group of the academy scythes and teachers making their way towards the church, ready for the fight ahead as they get closer oblivious to the sadistic smirk of Noah from within.
"What of Ingram?" Skeptical, Stein's greens narrow scowling up at the bird before them all, perched upon the top of the church.
"I'm not sure seems to me he's been hiding from that collector." Calmly, Tesca confesses crossing his arms over his chest.
"Can't say I blame him." Sid says.
"Once a person has been reflected by the mirror their soul can be followed so there is no mistake." Tesca reminds the group as he opens the door only then to be greeted by the worm like creature diving at Tesca as next thing Tesca knew, he stood staring down at the scarlet streams descending down from his chewed out torso, his arm long gone.
"TEZCA TLIPOCA!" Stein and the others cry out to the boy that comes crashing down to the ground dead.
"Marie!" Sid calls out as a set of worm like beats arrive from the ground one of them diving at Marie.
"Sid!" Naigus cries out as Sid pushes Marie out of harms way.
"Are you okay? Marie? Naigus?" Concerned, Sid asks as he cradles his torn off arm, rub red descending down form his cut arm.
"Even a DWMA teacher is about this much? Worthless bastards…I won't make you part of my collection. Now vanish please." Politely, Noah greets the death scythes and teachers of their academy.
"You're Noah then…" Stein scowls glaring glowering at the male before them all.
Crap Tezca's dead, I'm fatally injured and Kidd has been taken hostage…Stein curses internally to himself.
"In a world where the demon's madness has already spread you cannot stop the madness anymore can you? Why don't you release it like him?" Noah asks snapping his fingertips as tendrils spurt out from the ground wrapping around Stein stopping him.
"Hey God shall I punish these fools?" Justin asks looking up at the moon music blaring in his ears.
"Stop it Justin how much more sin." Sternly, Marie scowls at Justin only to be swiftly slashed, thrown to the ground below by his slick silver blade beaming from the eerie moonlight. Marie pathetically pleads for him to stop as he towers over Marie.
"If you don't turn this way I won't hear what you're saying." Sighing, Justin turns to strike the finishing blow at Marie when…
"YOU BASTARD!" Naigus snaps scowling striking at Justin who swiftly strikes her down.
"Hey God….I killed a pig again that was full of antibiotics…hey god!" Grinning, Justin turns ot look up at the grinning giddily moon.
"You who value madness have no value yourself. I will put my hand on this entire world and control it myself. Those who are excluded from my collection will be disposed of in my world. Now Manticore I chose you!" Noah summons said beast from the book strapped to his waist oblivious to the bandaged hand grabbing said limb of the beast coming out.
"What are you waiting for? GO!" Impatiently, a voice screams from the book.
"Wait a second I grabbed something." Blackstar says as next thing the adults knew, the kids came crashing out from the book along with a silently still Ava, her golds glazed over.
"Mother!" Kid turns towards his mother, his gold widening alarmed at the sight of her limp fragile form, holding her panic plastered all over his frowned features.
"…" Glassy gold gaze into mystified yellow.
"Mum?" Kid's voice cracks breaking briefly blinking back the tears at the sight of his slumped mother.
"Kid look!" Tsubaki calls out to him snapping him out of his thoughts turning towards the bulldozed body of the tattered Tesca.
"This is…" Kid's hues dilate at the bloodied body below.
"Miss Marie!" Maka gaps when taking note of one of the worms wrapping its tail around Marie holding her up.
"Run quickly, he'll kill you…" Meekly, Marie whispers weakly, ruby red descending down from her battered bloodied head.
"Who did all this?" Kid seethes scowling at the bloodbath before him.
"Kid?" Maka blinks baffled by the sheer seriousness of his tense tone.
"In the world I imagined you do not exist. I'll enforce your death penalty." Poisonously, Kid vows seething snarling scowling.
"Step back leave this to us!" Sid calls out to the kids but…
No…let us do it! you take care of lady Ava and the others." Blackstar refuses.
"Are you crazy!? Don't be so selfish just follow the orders!" Sid snaps at him but…
"Watch us. This is Kid's battle to decide the new ruler don't tell us to just sit back and watch." Blackstar cuts Sid off.
"Guys…" Sid's features soften sadly at his students as the staff go silent watching the students step up ready for the fight ahead of them.
"Liz Patty!" Kid calls out to his weapons shifting into their weapons forms as he glares, glowering at the creature before him, ready to take Noah out once and for all.
"Tsubaki!" Blackstar calls out as said girl shifts into her sword form, Blackstar stands ready for the fight ahead of him.
"Welcome back Kid." Tenderly, Liz smiles softly at Kid.
"Yeah welcome back!" Perkily, Patty joins in cheering cheerily happy to have her meister back.
"I'm back sorry I made you guys worry." Softly, Kid smiles shyly down at his guns relieved to have them back.
"You better apologise to Lady Ava Kid!" Patty scolds Kid flinching from her dark growl.
"Yeah! She got in a lot of trouble trying to save you." Sternly, Liz reminds Kid grimacing at the sharp sting of guilt flipping in his chest.
"Yeah…I know." Tenderly, a small smile crosses Kid's lips as he looks towards his mother, his features faltering from her limp form casted to the side almost s if she were a hollow puppet, simply sitting, staring at the battle ahead of her. Kid shakes his head at the thought, he had never seen his mother use magic for her to use it…Kid's grip tightens around his guns at the thought, biting his lip at the desperation his mother had for him….all thanks to him.
"Maka can you do it?" Worried, Soul furrows his brow concern clear in his tired tone. He holds Maka steadying her battered, bruised, beaten frail form.
"I have to." Grimacing, Maka seethes scowling as she slowly closes her eyes, focusing on her wavelength on her chain resonance as Soul shift into his scythe form.
"The kishin, everything is mine I want it! I am the one who will rule this world! I'm not gonna hand it to a Shinigami! Why? Because I want it! I'll rule the whole world and it will bear my judgement and prejudice because its mine! The life and death of people's souls is also up to me not the death gods! Anyways all unnecessary things should just…DIE!" Deranged, Noah manically merrily cackles crazily to the open air, a giddy grin plastered upon his perturbed feral features. He declares the fact to the world, raising his arm as his beast aims its strike at the oblivious Marie, gasping frozen to the spot.
"Marie!" Stein shouts lunging at her reaching out to her wrapping his arms around her as they are both blown back by the sheer strike of the forceful strike causing them both to crash into the stone wall behind them, Stein taking most of the pain as they both descend down, falling flat to the floor below groaning, girting their teeth together.
"Bastard!" Blackstar seethes scowling at the creature before him, gritting, grinding his teeth together, feeling his blood boil at the creature casted before them.
"I want to protect my friends…I want to save the world…I don't believe it will work with just pretty words. Depending on how one looks at it these feelings could be considered insanity and if it is the so be it. Insanity and sanity are one in the same and what I need to aim at you right now is just a cool killing intent." Intensely, Kid confesses to the cyclops before him, his gold glistening glaring at the beast before him, ready to end this once and for all.
Madness…This wavelength…Stunned, Stein blinks baffled by the sheer intensity of the wavelength beginning a sense of nostalgia as Stein turns towards the vacant limp form of the woman far from him, such strength…he really was his mother's son.
"Kid!" Maka calls out to him, stunned staring at the madness resonating from them both, bowing their heads furrowing their brow focused.
"Blackstar!" Tsubaki joins in concern clear in her tone to see such power emit from them both.
"I'm sorry to make you keep fighting all this but we'll need you in this battle as well Maka, Soul. Your power will support us." Politely, Kid asks the others, a small smile upon his lips.
"Chain resonance! Focused, both Soul and Maka focus on the task at hand, a familiar melody playing out in the open air.
"Noah sama!" Bravely, Gopher rushes in, spreading her arms out as he tries to take the strike but…
"…Huh?" Gopher blinks by the black blur rushing in nothing the mirror behind him.
"MOVE!" Mad, Kid snaps sharply scowling swiftly slamming Gopher to the side scowling
"What you did to my right side I'll have you take it with my left!" Bitterly, Kid sneers swiftly slapping Gopher to the side clearing the way.
"I'm gonna cut right through this wall!" Blackstar bellows leaping high in the sky swiftly slashing said blade down upon the mirror.
Maka's wavelength and madness are supporting me…is this what mother meant about balance? Kid considers closing his eyes listening to the tune.
"What are you gonna do? You'll have to fight us." Sid reminds Justin, the death scythe turning to their traitor of a fellow death scythe.
"At this point I'd just like to leave in peace." Politely, Justin tells them.
"You're going to betray your friends again!?" Angrily, Sid snaps sharply scowling.
"Friends all I believe in is the kishin figured out that my faith is in the way of madness which makes it obvious that I should follow the leader of this madness the kishin." In awe, Justin stretches his arms out in awe as he smiles softly at them at the moon giddily grinning down at them.
"Do you even know where he is?" Impatiently, Sid scowls demanding to know from the blonde.
"Yes all I need to do is follow his plan." Pleased, Justin smiles softly joyous.
"His?" Confused, the adults share a look lost by his words.
"No matter how wounded you two are I don't want to fight you nor do I think you want to die just yet not when we're so close." Cheerily, Justin smiles happily.
"Close to what?" Sid scowls at Justin.
"The revival of the all mother." Justin whispers looking to the side staring at the slumped figure of Ava.
"The all mother?" Mystified, the others share a look lost to the fixation fascinated look upon Justin.
"The mother of madness…The mother of all things…yes she shall soon rise!" Justin turns towards Ava slumped slouched, a lone bird perched upon her shoulder.
"Cyclops come!" Noah declares, another cyclops coming out of the box strapped to his side.
"Someone as big as me will not be crushed by something as small as you!" Swiftly, Blackstar swiftly strikes the creature down.
"This will go on forever even though there is only one opponent it looks as if he has a whole army."
"My collection is still not over…everything is me. I am the new ruler I am everything." Noah smirks sadistically stretching his arms out towards the open air.
"There is someone who is claiming to be a new ruler…let's see whose power is more suitable little one… "
"Father…"
"Mother…"
"You're the Death God that will take responsibility for the next generation."
"Well then let's finish this Kid I'm taking you back into the book along with that mother of yours…" Noah remarks making Kid grind his teeth together.
"You won't lay a single finger on her." Seriously, Kid states the fact firmly disgust drenched in his tone feeling a wave of protection wash over him.
"Won't I? Cyclops would like a world. If he resists there is no other choice to kill and take him right?" Smirking, Noah tells the cyclops.
"Another one?" Stunned, both Blackstar and the others do a double take.
"You think I have but one no, no as a collector I must have the sets I must I will…Me give me I want it this whole world is mine I will lay my hands on everything and become the next ruler…I will become an existence alternative to Gods." Noah makes the vow.
"I'm a Shinigami." Seriously, Kid states the fact firmly.
"Huh? What's wrong Kid? I am simply a success of what your mother was supposed to be the next ruler of this world!" Mockingly, Noah remarks making Kid's golden glare sharpen scowling at the thought of someone like him comparing himself to his mother? It made his blood boil, bubble, burn even.
"You're wrong about the ruler Noah. The world huh? When you say the whole do you mean every this and that? Sint that the same as the path of symmetry I chose? What's the aesthetic in everything? An aesthetic without fidelity is not beautiful! You speak of how those who embraces madness are wrong but you're wrong, without madness order would not rule, without asymmetry symmetry would not have been created! You're not suited to be the next ruler!" Resolute, Kid declares determined ot the high heavens shouting, screaming it to the soaring sky.
"That's a god for you…a human can't understand it." Maka sighs shaking her head.
"I'll show you the whole beautiful world of course only if you'll survive. Liz Patty thanks for sticking with me up till now I'm counting on you from now on." Kid confesses to them.
"Wh…what's with the formality?" Frowning, Liz furrows her brow.
"Yeah." Patty frowns.
"We'll do a hue release everyone we're going to need your powers. Teachers just watch us please. Liz Patty soul resonance…" Resolved, Kid orders his weapons.
"Execution mode secured." Liz exclaims.
"Wavelength circuit connection all clear. Resonance stable noise is 2.8%." Patty reports.
"This wavelength…" Stein states shocked by the sheer power resonating from Kid.
"It's something I'm going to need from now on. Coffin construction OOOHH! First second line of Sanzo expand rotation start!" Sternly, Kid orders as both lines hovering above Kid connect.
"Shinigami sama!" Spirit cries out concerned when seeing the crisp crack of the mask upon him break but he stands strong despite the strong step forward of progress.
"Seven light charge complete coffin release! It's over Noah, that's the light of a god." Kid proclaims pride laced in his tone firing the blazing blast at Noah, firing his blast.
"And this is the power of my collection…" Noah smirks proudly proclaiming it.
"And this is the rebirth of the mother of discord." Deranged, Justin grins giddily from ear to ear as he turns towards the slumped state of Ava, gleeful giggling when hearing the crisp crunch of bone. She quirks her head to the side snapping it almost as the tattoos marred into her skin swirl, spiral around her, coiling around her throat as a chaotic crazed grin graced her lips, revealing the feral fangs of a beast before them all…
"He's alive!?" Amazed, the others gasp taken aback by the tall towering three headed dragon before them, roaring.
"You really are something else Kid heh…I shouldn't be surprised the blood that runs through your veins are the blood of the two most powerful deity's in all of history." Impressed, Noah remarks as he dusts himself off looking over at the ashen remains of the cyclops.
"H-How?" Kid blinks baffled, taken aback by the ruined remains before him of the charred cyclops, now nothing more than cinders freely flowing from the chill risps breeze brushing through the air, tousling Kid's hair slightly. But he brushes it off having more important things to keep an eye on.
"Simple really my cyclops took the blunt of your attack now then…" Noah smirks glancing over at the creature he had swiftly summoned from his book prior to the cyclops, one that had been swiftly silenced by the infinity sword technique of Blackstar's shadow blade but Noah was not alone. He never was he still had his worms, sure Kiluk was tending to them but there was still an army behind Noah. An army that would easily topple the kids if they had so easily destroyed the Shibusen staff so easily, everything was going according to plan.
"Kid look out!" Panicked, Patty calls out from her gun form as Kid turns towards the masked three-headed dragon roaring to the high heavens.
"What is that thing? It's growing tombstones!?" Maka gasps gawking at the three-headed dragon seeing the tombstone standing tall, towering over the top of the beast. Boastfully, Noah smirks smugly at his supposed victory, deeming it now a good time to offer Kid his way out. His survival after all the child was of ancient blood was a rarity to have him in his collection would be his most prized possession, he had to have him back. If he could afford to have him back not damaged would do wonders for Noah. All he could do was threaten Kid to return to the book or else his friends will be crushed simple as that. Pleased, Noah leans his arm down towards his book about to open his book but falters furrowing his brow when noting his loose book strap. He falters furrowing his brow when finding said book gone, feeling fury flow through him. Where was his book!? Who had taken it!? Who had the nerve to…
"Wha…what's going on?" Blackstar gawks gaping when suddenly Noah falls flat to his knees.
"He's…disintegrating…" Tsubaki whispers in awe almost as flickers of cindered parchment paper flutters flying high in the air, almost like a flower petal flying high in the sky.
"My…collection…" Coughing, Noah whispers, a shy scarlet stream descending down from his lips watching his body begin to disperse, disintegrate as singes marks soon form around the breaking body of Noah, heaving scarlet splatters to the ground below. He comes crashing down to his knees, turning to the source seeing the sadistic smirk of the woman standing over him, standing tall, a book in her grasp, shy flickering flames feasting upon the parchment paper, burning before everyone's eyes as they all turn towards the source seeing…
"Mum?" Mystified, Kid furrows his brow at the sheer sight of his mother relieved to see her standing but his body tenses up. He couldn't help but feel something was off, that look he was giving her that glare, that sick sadistic smirk something was off…something wasn't right here but…what?
"All gone…" Unapologetic, the woman looks down at Noah his hands grabbing, grasping hold of her trouser leg making her arch a brow bemused by the suffering soul below her, her gold glinting, glistening.
"N-No…" Broken, Noah whispers, his voice cracking breaking surprising everyone.
"Now, now there's no need to fret you'll be joining soon enough…" Tauntingly, she kneels before the man, pinching his chin, forcing his head to look up into her gleeful gold, relishing each and every singe of his burnt body, the furious flames feasting upon his body.
"N-Noah sama!" Gopher cries out rushing over to the male's side only to scream when he tries to reach out to the body but the fierce flames flicker upon him making him recoils back crying out to the high heavens, anguished at the searing sensation of the feasting flames enjoying their meal.
"You really were nothing more than a simple page from a book created by a simpleton." Smirking, she smoothly slides down eloquently at that. Maka couldn't help but stare in awe at the sheer eloquence of the stranger before her, this wasn't the Ava you could walk up to and chat to, this aura, this soul…it was different, it was cold, it was…scary.
"Maka?" Shaken, Soul questions concern clear in his tone towards his meister.
"Kid…who is that?" Mystified, Maka questions Kid only to see his equally as astonished afraid even frightened facial features when seeing the stranger before them all.
"This…is the mother of all demon weapons! The all mother!" Madly, Justin proclaims proudly alarming everyone as they all turn towards the woman smirking smugly down at the body below her.
"The all mother?" Mystified, Blackstar furrows his brow baffled befuddled by the woman before him only then to perk up at the soft swipe of wind washing, brushing against the stray strands of her locks where the bird shifts, changes, contorts into…
"Ingram!" Seething, Stein scowl, glowering glaring at the male before the crowd bowing before them, mockingly dramatically before turning to the woman before him, bowing before the woman simply staring, scowling down at him as he passes her a fan of sorts. She flicks her wrist, letting the fan out, spreading the fan out exposing the black and golden fan, petite petals of black on the base of the fan which she bats in the open air, hiding her face behind her mask, hiding the small sadistic smirk upon her lips as she is warmly welcomed by…
"Welcome back mother..."
