Chapter 10
[Scorpia's Hide Out]
She snapped awake in her bed as her connection with Soul through the little demon's madness was cut off and she groaned as she felt the effects of being forcefully pushed back into her own body.
Scorpia knew she had to leave, it was only a matter of time before they started to hunt for her if not had started their manhunt already. And considering she messed with an entire class of students, crippled their trust in each other and possibly destroyed lifelong friendships, she would be at the top of their hunting list.
She sighed as she used her magic to pack all of her things before she going underground. Her mind then thought back to how she first met Soul 'Eater' Evans.
[Flashback]
Scorpia under the disguise of a busty blonde girl in a tight blue belly shirt, slimming yoga pants and sandals and she walked into the music store, in hope of finding another victim or at least a person she could have fun with.
She spent the next ten minutes browsing the shelves and then she heard the bell of the entrance of the door opened and she looked and saw Soul.
His snow white hair and his lazy red eyes instantly caught her attention and she licked her lips in secret.
'My, my...' She thought, looking at Soul wave his way through the music store, hi-fiving the cashier.
She followed after him as he looked at the shelf for beginner music and picked out the classical one and then went to his usual section and picked out three CDs before going to the register and Rachel decided to make her move.
When Soul waiting to pay, someone bumped into him from behind causing their stuff to spill onto the floor.
"Aw, man," A light female voice said
He turned around and saw a blonde girl with strawberry locks, blue eyes, and a big bust that made him fight to not get a nosebleed.
"I'm sorry~, you're not hurt are you?" Soul said, moving to help her
"Oh no, I'm okay. I'm just clumsy. Actually, I'm new here so I do not know who you are?"
"My name is Soul Eater," He said gathering all of her dropped belongings, handed them to her, paid for his things and then put the bag over his shoulder.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Rachel."
"That's cool, but I need to go," Soul said, wanting to go and introduce Maka into his world of music.
"Wait!" She grabbed his shirt, making him stop and look back at her
"What is it?" Soul asked
"Do you have a girlfriend?" She asked simply
"Yeah, I do," Soul said, looking forward
"Oh, sorry," Rachel said, a fake blush tinting her cheeks
"It's alright. See you around," Soul smiled, before leaving the music store, leaving Rachel/Scorpia looking at the red-eyed boy with an interested glare and left the store without a backward glance.
She then spent the next week getting information on Soul Eater and found out that he was scythe that fought against the Kishin along with the meister Maka Albarn with the angel soul who landed the final blow.
Scorpia sighed as he finished her research and smiled at the plan that ran through her head.
She was going to make something worse than the Kishin and they would be the key in drowning the world into madness. If Maka was driven to despair and madness, her angel soul would turn into something much more dangerous than the previous Kishin and Soul's betrayal and death would push her over the brink.
Over the course of several weeks, she has been working her way into Soul's head, but she couldn't seduce him, no matter what she did. She almost lost him twice when she threw herself at him and decided that using his lower head won't work, she would take drastic measures.
Rachel opens the door and invites Soul inside her apartment.
"Thank you for coming so quickly, Soul-kun," She said with a smile
"Of course, you called me saying you had an emergency?"
"Yeah, follow me, please," She said, grabbing his arm and led him upstairs.
Soul was led to a bedroom first and behind him, he heard the door close and he felt a near-blinding pain at the back of his neck and he fell unconscious barely turning around to see Rachel with a mad smirk before everything went black around him.
Soul soon found himself inside his soul room where he was getting swallowed up by black blood and he was completely frozen to do anything to stop it, however, Soul, not being Maka's partner for nothing managed to seal off a part of his sanity into a box where the little demon and Rachel could taunt him.
The little demon had full control of Soul's body and used it to his full advantage and was factored into the plan of turning Maka into something worse than a Kishin.
The first part of the plan was turning all her friends against her, crippling her by cutting her off from her friends and she knew exactly where to start. BlackStar, if he fell, then so would his weapon and then getting the twins and using all of them to capture Death the kid the biggest threat to her plans and once he fell, everything would fall into place for her world filled with madness.
Getting BlackStar was rather simple, it was all the matter of inviting him over at Soul and Maka's place and having him infected. The problem with infecting him was that while he wasn't smart, he was instinct-wise and he bolted after the first stinger stung his side and he ran as far as he could from the house, but he was caught by Scorpia's tails as he cut a corner in an alleyway. Several more stingers filled with poison and a blast of the little demon's madness wavelength finally pushed the boastful assassin over the edge.
After infecting him and told him up of their plan after explaining, then they left and BlackStar returned to the home to where he found Tsubaki cooking dinner waiting for him to arrive. She turned around and welcomed him, "Hello BlackStar, how was your visit with Soul?"
"It was fine..." He replied
She walked towards him, raising an arm to check his forehead and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah! I'm fine," He said, wrapping her up in his arms
"Well, you are really affectionate today."
"Yeah," he said, nuzzling her neck
Tsubaki turned off the stove and BlackStar picked up his partner and she blushed trying to say, "BlackStar! Wait, what about dinner?"
"Dinner can wait," He said to her before leaving the kitchen and he carried her up to their shared bedroom and shut the door with a slam.
The moans and groans that came right after continued on into the night and the next day, Tsubaki woke up the next day with BlackStar, yellow stars appeared in his eyes and Tsubaki's eyes became dilated with a swirl inside.
She smirked back at BlackStar and he told her to call up the twins as he filled her into the plan Soul told him. She did exactly what he asked of her, they couple didn't have to wait long as Patty burst open through their shared apartment with her usual peppy personality with Liz following after seconds later.
"So, Tsubaki, what was the thing you wanted to talk about?" Liz said over Patty's laughing as she shut the door behind her.
[Death Manor]
Death the kid, mostly called 'Kid' by his friends and his father has felt something was off the entire day, he felt his stomach tie up in knots when Liz and Patty haven't picked up their cell phones and he couldn't reach Soul or Tsubaki. He even called BlackStar's cell phone, but all that he heard was his boisterous voicemail. He checked the entire house and not a single thing was out of place or out of order.
The young Shinigami decided to wait up for his partners and wonder if they went out without him.
He didn't have to wait long as Liz and Patty came home, but he didn't hear Patty's loud giggle or Liz's voice.
Death the Kid made his way towards the living room and then manor was then filled with darkness and what clinched it was he didn't hear Liz screaming that it was dark or Patty's laughing.
He felt something creeping behind him and ducked sending the two assailants tumbling in front of him and it was Liz and Patty.
"Liz, Patty! This isn't funny Patty turn on the lights!" He ordered
But, there was no response and Kid nearly got blindsided by BlackStar's big wave, electric shocks allowing flashes of light to fill the room and he saw Liz's blank face, her blue eyes nearly black, Patty's face wide in an open grin, her eyes wide and her pupils nearly gone from her eyes, and black star, his eyes having a star in the center of them. They all had the signature of madness coming off of them in waves.
Kid left the manor, avoiding their attacks as he came face to face with Soul and Rachel who were waiting for them as Kid got surrounded by his madness-induced friends.
"You're not really Soul are you?" Kid said, quietly
'Soul' shook his head, "He really was the smart one of the group,"
"You won't get away with this," He growled, getting himself into a stance
"Maybe, maybe not. But you will help us regardless," Rachel said, having Soul transform into his weapon form.
There was no need for words and all six attacked Kid, but Death the Kid was a tough opponent even without his pistols, he managed to dispatch Patty and Liz with a hard uppercut for the older twin and a hard palm thrust to the stomach for the youngest. He moved both of them away from the fight and he had to avoid BlackStar's attacks with Tsubaki in her black blade form and Soul in his scythe form.
BlackStar used his scarf to restrain one of his legs and Kid fell to the both of them when he took a slash on his chest and back and he fell unconscious and all he heard before passing out was Rachel saying, "You will see things in our way soon enough."
After making sure all six prodigies were completely under her control, she told them to act normal as she infected the Sun class. There were little seeds of jealousy already there as Death the Kid, BlackStar, and Maka were the best meisters within the class along with their weapons and it didn't take that much to turn it into hatred.
By the time Maka returned, she found herself facing a cold welcome and distant friends, from there it went from cold to downright vile after Soul dumped her for Rachel.
[Present]
Maka sat down in a chair in the medical wing as everyone else left to return home and prepare the amount of shit they would have to sort through tomorrow. The only people who were there in the room were Maka, Jackson, and Soul as she stared at the both of them.
Her ex-partner, the one she defeated the Kishin with, her first partner, the one who got her out of the house, the one she decided to listen to music for, the one who playfully insulted her, and a frequent magnet for her Maka Chops.
Her new boyfriend, the one who comforted her, the one who bandaged her from the attacks from bullying she suffered in school, the one she comforted from his nightmares, the one he gave his heart for and his embarrassing little Bookworm.
She sighed as she thought, 'What do I do?'
Ending the chapter! I am ending the chapter! I'm so sorry for the incredibly late chapter! I think this story is going to be wrapped up soon, considering I have to make the reactions of the parents, Death, Spirit, and the Sun class. P.S. Rachel's friends are actually just magic-based so they will be erased from memory. Maka will need to make a choice of both Soul and Jackson. Laters!
