And so we arrive here, my dear readers. The anticipated battle. Sorry the last chapter was so short, Had a bit of writer's block doing that one so I just stopped it there. Also, not quite sure where I wanna go with this chapter. All I know is that it won't be butterflies and smiles. Or should I skip the fight all together? IDK, we'll see how evil I feel this chapter.

This Chapter is dedicated to: Darktenshi01 and AnimeFreak132002.

Also, I just wanna talk about something real quick. So far we have lost two legends in acting. David Bowie (the Labyrinth) and Alan Rickman (Harry Potter series). I cannot tell you how many tears I have shed. I literally grew up on Harry Potter and when I heard that Alan Rickman died, I was devastated. So before continuing the story, please take a quick moment of silence for these people. Thanks Guys.

Donna watched her friends walk towards the danger and a wave of worry and helplessness washed over her. She wanted to help fight, but she couldn't very well while her meister was laying at her feet covered in blood. She was waiting for Myra to jump up and say 'Surprise! Got you good, didn't I?' because that's what she would have done. But she didn't. Myra, her red hair becoming a darker red as the blood flow slowed, was dead. And in that room, Donna waited for Spirit and Stein to arrive.

The group walked into the room to see the witches all sitting on elaborate looking chairs, almost throne like. Kid knew they weren't from the house set, so he figured the three witches had either brought them or made them appear in some way, but none of that mattered. His eyes locked with Medusa's and his face contorted into a scowl. He was ready to kill her, to avenge Myra. Nothing else mattered at that point for him. He was about to shoot the Snake Witch when Arachne spoke.

"Good to see you finally made it, young ones," she said. "I was worried something, or someone, had inconvenienced you." Medusa cackled when her sister said that.

"Shut up you damn bitch!" Maka yelled at them. "My sister is dead because of you and I intend to make you pay for that!"

"Go ahead and try, but you won't succeed," Shaula challenged. That was Black Star's cue to start attacking. He automatically sprang into action, but she moved out of the way, her forearm sliced open by not moving fast enough. "Damn it!" she exclaimed.

The rest of the group went to attack the other two witches. Kid shot at Medusa at a rapid pace with Liz and Patti. Medusa dodged every which way and put some of her arrows on the ground to move more easily. Unfortunately for Chrona, he stepped on one and went flying towards a wall.

"Chrona!" Maka turned to run to him.

"Keep going! I'll be there in just a moment," Chrona yelled back, regaining his breath that had been knocked out of him. After a few short moments, Chrona stood up and made his way quickly to Maka. The two parried and slashed at the witch of Spiders while she fought back with her magic. Arachne was still as strong as she was when she had first taken Maka and the others into her custody. Maka, however, was weak from the torture her sister had laid upon her, but she fought with all her might, just the same.

The couple kept slicing and cutting at Arachne, landing a few blows, but not enough. Kid was getting beat up pretty badly. He was using long range weapons, so getting close to Medusa was futile, especially with her magic. All around the room, furniture was being thrown and destroyed, left and right. A chair hit Black Star in the back which sent him toppling on top of Shaula. There is where he took the final blow, piercing Tsubaki's blades into the witch's chest and carving out her heart. It was a gruesome sight to witness. Black Star's face splattered with her blood. Her body disappeared into ashes, leaving a glowing purple soul. Black Star smirked to himself, triumphant of his win. Until he heard Kid yell out in pain. He had just been thrown to a wall with mighty force from one of Medusa's arrow traps.

"Kid!" Black Star yelled out to him as his friend crumpled to the floor. Black Star looked from Medusa to Shaula's soul and back again. He decided to leave the soul and attack Medusa while she was distracted. He used his Speed Star attack while slicing at the Mother of Serpents' back. She screamed out in pain, not expecting the attack. Kid slowly rose and shook his head to get the stars out of his vision. He then told Liz and Patti to resound their souls to where the sisters became long laser cannons that attached themselves to his arms. Kid looked to Black Star and saw him using Tsubaki's throwing star form. Kid then rushed to help Black Star as he was being thrown around on the newly placed arrows on the ground and walls.

The young grim reaper shot several shots at Medusa to distract her from Black Star. As much as Kid appreciated his friend's help, this was his fight. Him and Medusa.

At the same time this was happening, Maka and Chrona were busy trying to overpower Arachne, but she was far too powerful. The two became worn out and tired quickly.

"Well now what?" Soul asked earnestly, his face showing in the blade of his scythe form.

"Come on guys, kick her ass!" Ragnarok yelled at the meisters.

"Shut up, Rags!" Maka yelled back. She was tired of fighting and tired of Ragnarok's attitude all the time. She just wanted to curl up in a ball in her room and cry her eyes out until she fell asleep, just to forget this horrible nightmare.

"Maka," Chrona put a reassuring hand on Maka's shoulder. "It'll be okay, we can do it. And you know she wouldn't want you to give up now. C'mon. Let's squash this spider together." Chrona stood up and held his hand out to Maka. She looked up at him and nodded before taking his hand and pulling herself up.

"Yeah, you're right. I won't back down, Arachne's gonna pay," She said to him.

"Woohoo! That's my girl!" Soul shouted. With new confidence in herself and her friends, Maka gave Arachne her most sinister smile as if to say "You're going down and there's no way you can stop me." Chrona gave Maka a small, determined smile as they both sprang into action, weapons at the ready.

(Sorry. I'm really bad at battle scenes)

-Meanwhile-

"Don't you worry girls, we'll get you out of here," Spirit Albarn said as he and his partner Dr. Franken Stein unlocked the shackles holding the three NOT class girls. Meme, Tsugumi, and Anya.

"Thank you, Death Scythe-sama," Tsugumi said to Spirit once her hands were free. She rubbed her wrists and ran to hug her roommates and Meisters once they were free. Tsugumi's situation at the DWMA was special. She was one weapon that had two Meisters. It was unheard of, but the three friends made it work.

"Come on, Spirit. We have to find the kids and fast. Who knows what the witches have in store for them…" Stein told the red haired man next to him. Spirit nodded.

"Are you girls able to keep up with us?" Spirit asked the three young girls in front of him.

"Yes sir! Lead the way!" Anya told him. She looked back to Meme and Tsugumi, they both nodded and Tsugumi transformed into her Scythe form. She concentrated for a moment to bring up her little heart shaped wings made from her soul wavelength. Both Meme and Anya sat on the handle, like a stereotypical witch on a broomstick.

Stein and Spirit nodded at the girls and started running out, the girls flying on Tsugumi's scythe form to keep up with the two grown men. The group raced down the hall and looked in every room they came across, each empty one giving Spirit more and more anxiety. He was worried about his daughters. Finally, they came to a room with large doors that were already open. When the men looked inside they found the room battle torn with blood on the walls and broken furniture all around the room. With the sight of blood also came the smell. The room reekd of it.

Spirit looked around and saw a large, dark, red puddle surrounding two figures. He recognized one of them as Donna, his daughter's weapon partner. He swiftly walked towards the figures.

"Donna," he called out. Stein and the three girls were behind him, Tsugumi now back in her human form. Donna turned her head, startled by the voice calling her name. She had tears in her eyes and Spirit could see them. as he got closer, he started seeing more and more of the figure lying on the ground. Hair as red as his own, the fair skin that both his daughters seemed to share, which was now spattered in blood. Spirit began to slow. The girls stopped simultaneously and each covered their mouths at the sight. Stein's heart skipped a beat, which was odd for him, seeing as he loved carving up living things. Though this was different. This was the daughter of his best friend, her torso encrusted with blood, some of her insides peeking through the flesh. Spirit dropped to his knees.

"Myra? Baby girl wake up. It's me! Your Papa! Please," He pleaded to Myra's body. He put his hand to her cheek, which at this point was ice cold. Stein checked for a pulse, but found none. Donna had watched this scene play out with her friends earlier, so seeing it again with adults made it worse.

"She's gone, sir. She's," she started sobbing, only able to finish what she was saying in gasps of breath. "been *gasp* gone for *gasp* a little while now… I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything to save her, none of us could! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Donna went back to crying.

"It's not your fault, Donna. Don't blame yourself. Blame the witches" Spirit told Donna as he wiped blood droplets off his daughter's face. "My poor little girl…"

"Donna, where are the others?" Stein asked.

"Fighting the Witches in the next room," she told him, not meeting eye contact. Just then they all heard a familiar voice yell: "YAHOO! I'M THE STAR TONIGHT!" All their heads snapped to where they heard the voice. Stein chuckled.

"That Black Star kid really is something," Stein admitted.

"We should help them!" Tsugumi suggested to the group in front of her.

"Yeah, we can help too," Anya added.

"Well I don't see why-" Stein started.

"No," Spirit said flatly. "You're all children, daughters of some worried parents. If anything happened to you, well…" he turned his head to Myra. "They would be devastated. Better safe than sorry. Besides, we have to get Myra out of here." The girls agreed, they understood why Spirit said that, just by looking at his face.

Spirit scooped up Myra and held her close, her limp arm dangling on her side and head lolling into Spirit's chest. Almost as if, even in death, she knew her dad was there. He carried her all the way to the infirmary at the DWMA, which took a few hours, but he didn't care. Donna helped Stein tend to the NOT class girls' wounds while they were there. The trio's wounds weren't severe, so they were able to go home. Stein had told Donna she could leave, but she declined. Instead, she pulled a chair next to the bed in which Myra lay, let Spirit sit in it, then got her own chair and sat next to him. The two sat in a silent vigil over the young red-haired girl's body, for how long, they didn't know. Nor did they care.

-Maka-

Chrona and Maka, after much struggle, pinned Arachne in a corner. All three of them were beaten and bloody, but the two young meisters had the upper hand this time. This time, it was personal and they had each other.

"Hey, Soul," Maka said. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

"If what you're thinking is that we waste this witch, then yeah, I am," Soul replied, his sharp-toothed smile visible in his blade.

"Then let's do it," Maka narrowed her eyes and smirked. "Let's go, Soul Resonance!"

The two appeared to be glowing blue as their souls resounded together. Soul's blade transformed from its original red and black color scheme, to a much larger, shimmering white blade with an eye at the center. Witch Hunter mode. Maka sliced Soul's blade down one last time. Arachne screamed as her soul was ripped from her body, and her body destroyed. They had also blown a huge hole in the wall from where Arachne was standing. Once the dust settled, a glowing purple soul was the only evidence that the Spider Queen had ever existed. Soul transformed back into a human, snatched Arachne's soul, and crushed it. He wanted nothing to do with that witch, so crushing her soul to nothing was the better option. And he was already a Death Scythe anyway, so it was no big deal.

"HEY! A LITTLE HELP HERE?" Black Star yelled as he and Kid were slammed into each other by Medusa's vector arrows. Maka and Soul exchanged nods and he went back to being a scythe. Chrona and Maka smiled at one another before taking off in a sprint towards Medusa. Black Star lay unconscious on top of Kid, who was struggling to get out from underneath his blue-haired friend. Medusa saw Maka and Chrona coming at her, so she placed and arrow right in front of the two of them to make them fly backwards.

They both slammed into the wall on their backs. Maka got whiplash and had to take a knee to stop her head from spinning. Chrona got up on wobbly legs and carefully walked toward his mother who was cackling.

"Oh just stop trying already. Even if you kill me, I've still won," she said as Chrona creeped up behind her, carefully avoiding each arrow. Kid had finally pushed Black Star off of him and stood up facing Medusa. Both Kid and Chrona were ready to face Medusa.

"You're wrong," Kid said. "You're whole family is dead now. All that's left is to kill you and we win. Which we will do."

Maka finally stood up, her brows furrowed as she walked over to the left of Medusa, limiting her motion more with Kid in front of her and Chrona behind. The four of them just stood there, all eyes on Medusa, no one moved. Tsubaki half transformed into her human state, one of her arms a chain scythe. She made her way to the right of Medusa. With Black Star still unconscious, the other four kids moved in on Medusa, slowly, trying to anticipate what she would do next. All of them having the desire to kill her.

"It's over for you Medusa," Maka stated.

"Time to face the music," Soul's smirk appeared in his blade.

"Just give it up already!" Tsubaki added.

Kid said nothing. Instead he gave Medusa a look that could kill. And he will. At least, he hoped to.

He took a glance at his friends, locking eyes with them for a moment each. Then, they all sprang into action. Kid began shooting at Medusa while Tsubaki threw her chain scythe arm at the witch. The chain wrapped itself around Medusa's torso, making her un-able to move. Maka began slashing Soul's blade in Medusa's back. Chrona cut at his mother's arms. While cutting her, Chrona removed the conjoined braids underneath Medusa's chin, leaving stumps of hair hanging by her ears. Medusa, now bleeding from multiple places, slumped to the ground. She placed her hands in front of her on the ground. arrows appeared on the ground underneath all of her attackers feet, which sent them flying ten feet back.

Medusa also went flying with them, being trapped in Tsubaki's chain. Medusa winced in pain as she landed on her side. Though it gave her the opportunity to unravel from the chain. She rolled on the ground away from Tsubaki and was able to free herself. As the kids were getting up, Black Star included, Medusa's tattoos came to life and slithered off her arms. The heads of the snakes became real, with venom and everything. The whole nine yards. The two snakes quickly wrapped up the group. The one from Medusa's right arm took Tsubaki, Chrona, and Maka into its scaly embrace. The one from her left arm coiled around Kid and Black Star. The heads of the snakes opened their mouths, venom dripping from their fangs.

"My babies are hungry, a couple meisters and weapons like yourselves is sure to satisfy," Medusa told them, her face contorting to an evil grin. But Kid had the upper hand. As he was squeezed tighter and tighter against Black Star, he shot the body of the snake which loosened its grip on the two males. It was just enough to wiggle out an arm. Kid with a free arm was able to shoot the snake right in the face. Its head exploded and he and Black Star were freed. The two then turned their attention to their other friends. Kid raised his arms to shoot the snake. He was able to hit it without much difficulty which freed his friends. Black Star ran over to Tsubaki and she automatically transformed into her Demon Blade form, which in turn added tattoos on Black Star's skin as well. He was more powerful than ever now.

Medusa's expression changed quickly from triumph to disgust. She was astounded that her snakes were killed by Kid. Maka's voice rang in the room after being freed.

"Guys, Chain Resonance," she told the group. They all lined up in front of Medusa, ready for the resonance. Each concentrating as hard as they could until light blue domes formed around all of them. Then, in their minds they heard Soul playing the piano. It was in his own mindscape that reached out to the others. One by one, each of the four souls reached out to each other and connected. Liz and Patti suddenly became huge sniper guns, charging with Kid's soul wavelength. Soul's blade became larger and a shimmery rainbow color. Tsubaki and Black Star just became a bit more powerful than they already were. And Chrona, well, he and Ragnarok were already conjoined, however, Ragnarok's blade became wider and sharper.

Kid shot huge lasers at Medusa while the other three ran at her and sliced her open. Medusa screamed in pain. Her scream was so loud that it could have split eardrums. And then… she was gone in a puff of smoke. The only thing left of the Serpent Queen was a glowing purple soul. She was dead, once and for all. The weapons transformed back into their human selves, except of course, Ragnarok. He just went back to being a pest in Chrona's back. Everyone's breathing was heavy and no one said a word. They did it. They beat Medusa. They beat all the Gorgon sisters. Maka immediately thought about how she would relay the story to her sister until she remembered that Myra was dead. Liz and Tsubaki each walked to the remaining witch souls and ate them. They both felt more powerful even though neither had their 99 Kishin souls yet. They then walked back to their meisters.

Everyone looked at each other and then started walking out of the room, Black Star leading the way to the exit. Kid stood in his spot for a few moments more until Maka realized he wasn't with them. She turned and walked back to him.

"Hey Kid," she said.

"Hm?" Kid replied. Maka put a hand on his shoulder.

"Let's go home."

"Yeah," he nodded and turned to her. "Let's go home."

They then followed the rest of their friends out of the old mansion and saw the motorcycles where Kid and Black Star had left them. The weapons transformed back to allow more room on the seats. Kid took Myra's with Maka sitting behind him holding onto Soul. Liz and Patti were safely tucked away in Kid's breast pockets. Black Star was taking Soul's motorcycle, wearing Tsubaki in the chain scythe form like a scarf and Chrona sitting behind. The group rode the motorcycles in silence to Maka's house, and there they stayed until the next morning.

The End.
