AN. Hello and welcome to my first fic that I deemed acceptable to post. This is an edited chapter one, chapter 2 is being posted right after. This story will be revolving around and focusing on Maka and my OC at the academy. I'm doing my best to prevent any Jerry Stew OC's here (male Mary Sue). I would appreciate it if anyone can help me spot where I slip up. XD

Chapter 1

*Maka POV.

I stood inside the top of one of the twin bell towers of Notre Dame, looking down upon the many people in the Plaza out front of the cathedral, as the warm August sun shined down on Paris.

"There's our guy, Soul," I said, tracking one priests walking out of the church and through the crowd.

"How are you so sure?" my Scythe asked in my hands.

"I can see his red tainted soul from here."

"Wow, you can tell the difference between a human and a kishin egg from this distance? Maybe you're not useless after all." He teased.

A vein bulge in my forehead. "Useless? You're the one who's useless, just trying to look cool all the time. You're incredibly uncooperative and you refuse to study."

"Maca, I was just joking. By the way, I believe we lost him."

My anger was replaced with panic as I sought to search the crowd for our target but to no success. There were only human blue souls as far as my detect soul could see.

My anger and annoyance returned, slowly boiling. "Great... see what you did, we lost him."

"Whatever Maca, let's just find this guy and report in to Lord Death."

I wanted to respond but I knew better than to waste more time arguing with my partner. I crouched down before leaping off the tower, landing on a neighboring building. 'Who does he think he is, I'm the leader. I'm the one who's supposed to be giving out the orders, not him. Maka scoffed to herself. 'Men, they always think they know better.'

Standing back up "Having any ideas where to search for him?" soul asked.

I was slightly surprised as I started running before I answered him "The Cult is known to use the catacombs which makes it hard to monitor their activities, but we do know a lot of their activity revolves around Notre Dame and this very Island."

"So North?" so asked as my boots cling on the copper roofing.

"Exactly, I'll have a pretty good chance of spotting him."

"That is unless he gets to the catacombs."

"I'm not going to let that happen," I said with a confident grin on my face.

I activated detect Souls once again searching for that red kishin egg. It wasn't longer than a minute before I spotted him in another Plaza. I stopped at the building at the corner of the plaza watching him going through the crowd before I noticed a second red sole on the other side of the Plaza.

"Bingo, found him. We even have an associate of his, just our luck." I said with a large toothy grin.

"Great let's take them both down, bring their souls to death."

I told Soul to transform back into human form and we jump down to ground level.

"We can kill them but not just yet. I want to see if we can get any information from them. who knows maybe they can bring us back to their bass."

I begin waiting through the crowds moving towards my target as calmly Soul follows me through the crowd. I was a matter of feet away from my target before I noticed a 3rd red sole out of the corner of my eye. When I turned to look for it, it seemed like it disappeared, I looked around a moment before I was interrupted by Soul. "What's up? Did you lose them again?"

I turned back to pursue my target "No I just thought I saw something."

What was that, it feels like a human but different? Maybe it is a human on the edge of a kishin egg or a human with magic? Someone bumped into me knocking me out of my thoughts.

"Excusez Moi madame." A little blonde boy spoke in French with a German accent.

"Otto, wohin bist du gelaufen?" A male's voice shouted from behind in German.

"Désolé pour lui mademoiselle." Another boy ran up looking identical to the one that bumped into me "Er ist hier drüben, Yeager!" he shouted, turning around to where he came from.

I was confused by this entire course of events but felt like I should help them.

Soul moved closer, whispering in my ear, "Maca, we don't have time for these people."

"Yeah, you're right Soul." I agreed.

"Oh, you speak English, sorry about that Miss. Do you know where the European death HQ is, We're kind of lost here? The first blonde boy spoke to me with a German accent.

"You're going to want to go east of here." I quickly answered disappearing into the crowd heading north leaving the two twin boys behind.

"Danke, I mean thank you!" The boy called after me, but I didn't acknowledge him.

It took me a moment to reacquire my target, the two kishin eggs we're standing together on the other side of the Plaza most likely talking to each other. I picked up the pace, shoving my way through the crowd, Soul calmly running up behind me. We ignored the protest and insults thrown at us. The target and his associates turned and slowly walked across the street, turning down an alleyway.

I and Soul stop bursting out of the crowded Plaza. We checked and waited for an opening between the vehicles in the street before crossing. Using detect souls I could see the two are still calmly walking down the alleyway.

"All right then all is clear, let's go," I said entering into the alleyway having Soul turn into his scythe form. The priests in his associate turn down another alleyway still unaware of our presence. So far so good, I thought I was rushing forward towards the alleyway that they turned down. As I approached I was unable to pick up what the two were saying.

"Everything is going as planned and Lord Death is none the wiser, The migration of people more susceptible to our mistress has gone just as planned." the first voice spoke.

"Has becoming a monster addled your mind? The walls have ears, and Lord Death's agents could be anywhere," the second voice answered.

"We fed them enough misinformation to keep them guessing long enough to complete our plans."

'Oh my God, what's going on? This is way bigger than I thought it was.'

"Where are you going, Yeager? We're supposed to go east!" Looking back a familiar male voice shouted down the alleyway. She saw the two twins and someone who appeared to be their older brother.

"Shoot," I said as I looked around the corner to see if my targets were still there.

The priest and his associate turned and ran the moment they saw my head poked out.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot. Damn those boys, looks like you're going to get what you wanted, Soul." I said growling out of my grated teeth, running after them.

'If I ever see those guys again I'm going to give them the biggest Maka chop.'

"Run faster, Maka, they're going to get away!"

"Shut up, I'm already running as fast as I can."

"Then throw me, I could at least grab one and slow them down."

"Here goes nothing," I said to myself as I threw Soul at the cultists.

The scythe missed the priests and embedded itself into the wall, we're soul transformed back into a human and tackled the priest's associate who is wearing a business suit.

"Hold them off, for the mistress." the priests said running off.

"Wait, the Magic tool!" The business suit man shouted, throwing an object to the priests.

I ran up to the cultist to see soul sinking his teeth into the cultist wearing a business suit, causing the man to scream.

"I would rather die than give up my mistress."

"Suits me." soul said chomping on the cultist's shoulder.

The cultist elbowed Soul in the stomach, gave him a moment to pull a dagger from his coat. I ran up and grabbed Soul calling him back, but the cultist had seized that opportunity to close the distance and stab Soul.

"Noooo... Soul, transform." I screamed out fearing any more injuries upon my partner.

With his scythe forum I raised my weapon to strike the cultist down, and for a brief moment, the cultist showed fear and his face before I decapitated it. The cultist body rips itself open and disintegrating leaving behind only a red burning orb, the soul of this evil being.

I let out a large breath that I was holding, I knelt down picking up It's Soul.

"Come on Maka, we can't let the other one get away."

"No Soul." I said calmly as he transformed back.

"What do you mean no Maka we're losing him!" Soul yelled running the way that's our target escaped.

I stood up quickly grabbing my partner's arm. "He's gone, Soul, the nearest entrance to the catacombs is less than a walk from here. And you're in no condition to fight…" I said gesturing to his blood-soaked hand clutching his stomach, " it's like a maze down in those tombs. You'll surely bleed out before we find him." I said looking down the alleyway disappointed.

Soul clutch sadly "Shame, I guess one will have to do today." Soul said, grabbing the soul licking his lips.

"Dude, that was so cool! Did you see that, Eric? She took him out with one blow." Otto shouted aesthetically.

"Wow so that a real Meister inaction looks like." Eric said, impressed.

AN. Wow many months and no reviews, probably because I haven't posted another chapter. Thank you for those of you that have been waiting, I have not stopped working on this project for that entire time it's just been on other chapters. I don't know if I should be happy that I'm not getting negative feedback, or sad that no one feels like responding. But I'm not here for validation even though that is nice, I'm here just to get better at writing.

A special thanks to my sisters for reading, reviewing, and suggesting. And thanks to you for reading, I hope to continue to entertain you.
