Chapter Three: We Are Equals

Chrona had been following Maka through her apartment. She was clinging to her fellow meister, but the back of her sweater, pinched between her fingers. Maka allowed her to do so as she packed away what little belongings Chrona had in her six months of living in the apartment. Blair seemed just as depressed and clung to Chrona as well. Soul watched the train of depression from the couch and sighs.

"Geez…you're all acting like she moving out of the country. So not cool…"

"Quiet, Soul!" Maka pouts.

"Hmph…I'm kind of surprise that the cat is depressed…I didn't think that you were that close to Chrona, Blair."

"Of course, I like Chrona! She's so cute…and she pets Blair so nice~!"

"Again, she's not moving away to some far country…"

There was a loud banging on the door which startles Chrona to jolt violently.

"SOUUUUUUUUL!"

Soul sighs and rises from the couch, "It's okay, Chrona. It's only Black*Star. We're going to take Ragnarok to the dorms…wish us luck."

"I'm sorry," murmurs Chrona.

Soul stares at Chrona and smiles while shrugging his shoulders, "No fault of yours. It's going to be interesting dealing with Ragnarok in human form. At least now we can smack him."

Maka grins at that and wishes him luck. Maka and Chrona left a little after soul with Chrona's belongings in a medium-size rolling suitcase. The girls' dorm was one of the places that Chrona was unfamiliar with. She had been around the school and only gone to places where Maka goes, which was very small. She knew more about the school's layout better than Marie, who sense of direction was horrible. At the dorm's entrance Maka opens the door for Chrona. Chrona goes through the doorway with her head downcast, clutching her arm tightly. There was popping sounds and two voices ring out.

"WELCOME CHRONA!"

Chrona was surprised as rainbow confetti fluttered about her and rested on her. Before were three girls with ebony hair, a brunette and a blonde. The girl with dark hair had pigtails like Maka. She was dressed in a dark school girl's uniform. The brunette wore a brighter, colorful school girl uniform of a pale yellow sweater and a blue skirt. Her short hair had a small ponytail at the top of her head. The last girl, the blonde, appeared very classy. Her hair was very long and she dressed in a white dress.

"Hello, Chrona! My name is Tsugumi Harudori! Maka told us that you were coming! We're so excited to meet a good friend of hers."

Chrona blinks several times and looks towards Maka. She smiles and nods.

"They're in their second year in the NOT program. So they understand how it feels to be new in a new place. I'm leaving her in your hands."

Chrona whimpers. Maka and the welcoming girls looked at her and then at each other. Maka nods her head in understanding. She will stay a little longer. Chrona's room was on the second floor in the middle of the hallway. As they got to the door, it opens and an older girl with braided pigtails and glasses leaves the room. She sees the group and smiles gently.

"Ah, just in time! I'm sorry I wasn't at the door to greet you! I'm the superintendent of these dorms."

"Huh, what happened to Misery," Maka frowns.

"Uh..well," the superintendent begins.

"Miss Misery was becoming a little unstable," Chrona learned that the blonde's name was Anya.

"But I heard that she's doing better now!" Tsugumi assures Maka.

"This is Eternal Feather!" the brunette, Meme blurts out.

Eternal Feather smile widens and she laughs, "But don't get used to it…in a few months, I will finally….FINALLY be able to change my name!" Tears stream down her face. "I'm so happy~!"

Tsugumi and Meme comfort her, but Eternal Feather assures them that they were tears of joy.

"Heh, I'm glad for you!...That was rather cruel of Kim…" Maka looks to Chrona, "I'll explain later…" she promises.

Eternal Feather regains her composure and allows the girls to settle Chrona in. Inside were three beds each taking a wall of the room. On the left side of the room was a bedroom set that had a chameleon them going on. The bed frame looked like the body of a purple chameleon with the pillows and bedsheets following the theme. There was a short bookcase filled with children's books. On top of its surface were a variety of stuffed animals…all of different colored chameleons. On the right, the bed set was also interesting. It was a twin-size bed with a canopy. Hanging off the canopy were colorful beads giving it a mystical feel. Stars were a gentle theme in that area. The area across the room had a basic twin bed, dresser, book shelf and desk.

"This is your spot, Chrona. It looks boring now, but I'm sure once we get your stuff out, it would be cozy!" Tsugumi smiles.

They do just that and to the girls of the dorm's surprise, it didn't take much. All Chrona possessed frilly, white pillow, a gray blanket, up to three outfit (two more dresses like the long black Chrona usually wore) and an all-white suit. The bookshelf was hardly full, Chrona had two black journals. Anya was the most astounded.

"You have so little!" she exclaimed.

"A-anya!" Tsugumi whispers harshly.

Quick footsteps came through the hall and a little girl bursts in dragging another young girl with her. The little girl had short brown hair and pinkish-red eyes. Over her shoulders was a cloak over a simple white dress. Despite her simple outfit, she wore an outrageous hat! The hat was a witch's hat with the face of chameleon with its tongue sticking out and yellow bulging eyes. Her companion had a bored expression. Her hat was unusual but not as out there as the witch's hat. It was an orange cloak with cat ears. Under the hood, was short blonde hair. Under the cloak was a long sleeved shirt, her shorts were puffy and purple over another shade of purple leggings with brown boots.

"Is she here yet! Is she here yet!"

"Urrgh, little brats!"

Following the girl was someone Chrona recognized. She had seen her in Maka's classes. The girl had short pink hair and bright teal blue eyes. She was panting after the girl and looks waves.

"H-hey…" she gasps.

Breathing harder, another girl with dark hair, she was the pink-haired girl's weapon Chrona recalls.

"Kim! Jackie!" Maka was surprised.

"We're sorry, Angela had been really looking forward to meeting Chrona…" gasps Jackie. "We were trying to distract her until Chrona was comfortable."

Angela, the girl with the witch's hat, releases the cat-eared girl's hand and stomps right up to Chrona. Chrona stares down at the little girl and recognition reaches her eyes.

"I…I know you."

Angela smiles brightly, "Yeah! I've seen you with that scary Miss Medusa! Was she really your mama?"

Chrona nods. "She's gone now. I get to stay here."

"Here is scary, isn't it?"

Chrona nods. Angela walks closer to Chrona and takes her hand.

"Don't worry! We witches will stick together! Right, Miss Kim?!"

Kim shrugs her shoulders, "I guess…but it's going to be expensive if I got to babysit someone the same age as me!"

"Oh, Kim…" Jackie huffs.

"I'm sorry…I don't…have any money."

"Of course you do!" Kim grins, "All students of the DWMA get a nice little weekly allowance."

"Starting this week you'll get an allowance. I don't think I have to worry about you spending it all…but, please don't let Kim take it all….Kim, no funny business," Maka glares at Kim.

"Awww, c'mon Maka! Let the girl think for herself….okay, okay, okay!" Kim lifts her hands up in surrender when Maka growls. "Sheesh, such a mother hen!"

"Don't be shy, Kana, come say hello to Chrona, she's going to be your new roommate with you and Angela."

Kana joins the group and looks into Chrona's eyes. Chrona begins to grow nervous until Kana reaches into cloak and pulls out a deck of cards. She fans outs the cards into her hand and holds them out face down in front of her.

"Pick a card."

"Ohhhh, Kana is going to give you a fortune!" claps Angela.

"Don't worry, Chrona!" Anya folds her arms, "Don't take it too seriously!"

Kana glares at Anya. Chrona reaches out with a shaking hand and picks a card from the middle. Flipping the card up her eyes widen. On the card was a man and woman in the nude embracing. The others take a peek and were stunned.

"W-what?!" Maka stutters and blushes.

"N-no way!" Kim was in disbelief.

Kana takes the card and even her own little eyebrows were raised, "How fortunate. You will find love very soon. It's close. In fact, you've already met him."

Chrona's eyes widen and she shakes her head, "No! No, I…that's impossible…I don't know…how to deal with love!"

Maka and Eternal Feather try to calm Chrona down. Anya appeared to be furious and yells how unfair that Chrona was able to draw a romantic fortune! Kana's response was to pull out the Fool card. Tsugumi holds Anya back. She calls out to Meme for help but realizes that her friend was distracted. Meme had pulled out one of Chrona's black journals and had started reading it. Meme was still and there was a dark cloud hanging over her. Meme's shoulders were slumped low, even her ponytail was drooping.

"Meme?" Tsugumi questions her.

All the other girls notice Meme. The journal falls from Meme's hands.

"I wish I've never been born," she murmurs.

Maka sighs.

Chrona is distracted away from her fortune by getting a complete tour of the dorms. She was shown the common areas, the study, the kitchen and the bathing area. It was lunch time when the completed the dorm tour and it was a good opportunity to take Chrona to the cafeteria. Chrona's anxiety appears as the students there eyed her and the girls with her. Particularly, their attention was on Kim and Angela. Due certain events surrounding Brew and the Arachnophobia, it was discovered that Kim was a witch. The school's students were split in their opinions of Kim's presence. Angela also received curious gazes. Angela was a witch but was only a child, she posed little threat…but she was still a witch. But there was great apprehension when it came to Chrona. It had been a few months since Chrona last attended school. Not since the Bloody Needle Hallway incident. Even before then, Chrona was someone to be wary of. She was the daughter of the Witch Medusa who created all sorts of chaos and havoc for DWMA along with her sisters, Archane and Shaula. All three Gorgon Sisters caused the DWMA great harm, Shaula and Medusa were more notable being that they had managed to slip in so close to the heart of DWMA.

Maka kept a cheery expression and she worked with Tsugumi to distract Chrona and told her not to worry. Even Kim was sympathetic, realizing that Chrona was a lot like her due to be associated with witches. They had just got in line when there was a great racket and a shout. Taking a look, Maka groans and buries her face in her hand. Kim and Jackie's eyes widen.

"Whoooa~!" Kim looks to Maka, "No way! Is that…him?"

Maka nods while her face was still within her palm, "Yes. That's Ragnarok. By his appearance, you can say that he's Chrona's brother."

"What a twist!" Kim grins. "You know…he isn't that bad looking either!"

"Kim!" Maka scolds.

Ragnarok was provided a new outfit. It was a form-fitting sleeveless black shirt with black jeans held up by a white belt and on his feet was a pair of black sneakers. Ragnarok was growling at a student, who he had bumped and knocked over his tray. The student in question was pretty burly. His muscles pushes against his stripped shirt.

"What the hell was that for?!" roars the student.

"Didn't like the way you were looking at me!" Ragnarok snaps back.

Behind Ragnarok was Soul, Kid and Black*Star. Kid was pinching his nose between two fingers with a hand on his hip. Soul was gazing up at the ceiling, probably asking to himself, "why"? Black*Star seemed to be the only one happy that a possible throw down was about to ensue. He often engages into fights throughout the school himself.

"In fact," Ragnarok glares about the cafeteria, "I'm sick of all the looks you've been giving me AND Chrona! What the hell are you looking at? HUHH?! Never seen another human being before?!"

"You and that girl aren't human!" the stripped-shirt student points.

Ragnarok slowly turns his gaze back on him. Soul and Kid also give their fellow peer disapproving glares. A grin spreads across Ragnarok's face.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah….I see…I get it now…it's because of Medusa, huh? Because we're her kids huh…oh, I haven't gotten about big bad auntie Spidey…and I just heard that we had another auntie…some little runt insect…funny how our side of the family are the ones that catches you oh so mighty and powerful DWMA by surprise!"

"You sound so proud them!" The student growls.

"I don't give a fuck about them!" roars Ragnarok. "You shits assume a lot about me and that Shinigami wants me and Chrona to learn to get along with you? He and his bullshit wishful thinking! To hell with you all then! I don't have to be friends with you and neither does Chrona!"

"Huh, that girl! To think that we were afraid of her! She's just some little witch that can't even control herself! An emotional wreck that has a breakdown and goes hide in a corner or behind Maka. Pfft, Demon Weapon, my ass!" laughs the student.

"HUH?! What was that?!" Ragnarok was shocked.

Chrona moves closer to Maka and Maka holds her hand.

"Are you calling Chrona weak?! What the fuck...? HEY! CHRONA! WHERE THE HELL ARE YA'?!"

Ragnarok whips his head around and spots her. He narrows his eyes and like a dark, storm races towards her. He grabs Chrona's arm and rips her away from Maka. Maka shouts and pulls out a book for a chop. She slams it on his head but Ragnarok's head doesn't cave in. Maka gasps. Ragnarok's blood had hardened, protecting him from her attack. Ragnarok didn't even flinch when the chop was deflected. He snarls at Chrona and bangs his fists against the sides of her head. Chrona yelps as he grinds his knuckles into her skull.

"What the hell, Chrona? What the hell? What the hell?! What the hell have you been doing since I was gone?!"

"Nothing!" she gasps in pain.

"Nothing?! Nothing?! So you been these assholes punching bag?!"

"No…I wasn't anyone's punching bag….ow! Ouch!...I…I hid from everyone!"

"WHY?!"

Chrona begins to cry… "Because…I'm weak…" she admits.

Ragnarok freezes and the pressure ease away.

"Weak? Weak? WEEEEEEEEEAK?!" Ragnarok shrieks. "GOD DAMN IT! WHAT HAS THAT PIG BEEN TEACHING YOU! TO BE A DOOR MAT?! TO BE A DAMN, WEAK, LOSER OF A DOOR MAT?!"

Ragnarok grabs a handful of her hair and forces her to look at him. Chrona gasps seeing the fury darkening his face.

"Chrona! Chrona! You're not weak," he speaks in quiet rage. "You're not weak because I'm not weak! We went through hell because of Medusa! We've been fighting for our lives to meet that bitch's expectations! We made this school tremble once! We fought against that pig tailed-pig and her scythe and would have won if Professor Screwy hadn't interfered! We went head to head with little Death Jr. We fought against some freak chainsaw dude and a fucking golem! We fought Maka and Soul twice…we had them against the wall before they were able to claw out a victory! We…you are not weak! We are equals…we carry the same black blood, you and me! We are even equal to Maka and Soul and I think we're far better than they are!"

Releasing her hair, he grabs her cheeks.

"In fact, we are better than these jokers that surround us! Some are a little smart and know that you're strong…but a lot of them have forgotten how much of a badass we are!"

He grins and pulls, "You're friends with Maka, right? Does she see you less than she is?"

"No."

"Maka knows we're strong, right?" Ragnarok looks to scythe-miester.

Maka was a mix of anger and awe. She didn't know what to say, so she simply nodded.

"But, these dumbasses don't see it…so we're going to play their little games and show them how strong we are!"

"I don't get?"

Ragnarok snorts and pinches her cheeks and pulls, "Dummy! In this school fighting is okay! Remember?!"

Ragnarok forces her to look at the stripped-shirt student, "So we going to show Strippy how strong we are! We're going to fight him!"

"If I fight, people will stop looking at me badly?"

"That's right," Ragnarok purrs.

"….I see…so simple…so I fight to show that it's okay for me to be here…so they will leave me alone…"

Black*Star cheers, "YAHOOOO! Yes! I can't wait to see them fight together again!"

"Tch," "Strippy" wasn't worried. He was joined by another boy who was as burly as him. Both tower over the Gorgon twins.

"W-wait, we have to have a teacher…" Maka protests.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Stein rolls in on his rolling office chair, slouched forward over the backrest of the chair, his hands in the pockets of his jacket.

"Heard Ragnarok's yelling from halls away…I'll approve this fight."

Stein didn't look it, but he was actually eager to see if Chrona and Ragnarok's fighting would be any different than from when they fought in one body. Ragnarok had his own body, so how will he protect Chrona's body? Did he know that Chrona couldn't control her blood?

Strippy's buddy transform in a huge broadsword. The blade was as tall as Strippy and the blade was as wide as his girth. He swings the blade and has the hilt resting on his shoulder. Chrona holds out her hand. Ragnarok cackles and in a flash of sinister purple-red changes into his sword form into her hand. Chrona swings the blade cutting through the air. She lifts the blade and holds it in front of her face. The students moved to one side of the cafeteria. Some were still eating their lunch, holding food items or their trays in their hand. Chrona and Strippy faced each other on the other side. Strippy swings the broadsword from his shoulder and charges like a rhino. Chrona waits for Strippy to get within her range. She didn't flinch as Strippy comes upon her. Strippy goes for downward cut that could cleave Chrona in half from top to bottom! Chrona turns Ragnarok to parry and the sword is deflected by the much thinner blade. Strippy stumbles backwards, waving his arms to keep from falling over. There was collective gasp from the crowd.

"She didn't budge. Not even an inch."

Strippy and his weapon were just as stunned. Chrona returns to her first position. Lips form over Ragnarok's hilt, red ruby lips.

"Don't be scared now! That was only a sample!" he grins.

Another earth-shaking charge, Strippy drags his weapon creating a deep grove into the floor. The floor whines and shrieks as it was split apart. With a roar, Strippy makes another swing.

"Scream."

"PIIIIIGEEEEEEEEEYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Students and faculty cover their ears. But they were unable to protect their souls. Ragnarok's shriek paralyzed them and an overwhelming, crushing weight made weaker students fall to their knees. Maka and those close to Chrona were familiar with this feeling and were one of the few that were able to stay on their feet. Strippy receives the brunt of the attack and the large student fell to his knees. Chrona lunges at the brute, blade tip pointed at Strippy throat. Strippy recovers and without thinking quickly swings. Girls scream as well as Maka for Chrona made no move to guard against the attack coming at her side. Instead she stopped before Strippy and watched without fear as the blade came at her. The wide blade digs into her side. Chrona looks down. Black blood drips onto the ground.

"Heh, heh, heh…so I can still control your blood…so long as I'm close to ya'…lucky you! You would have died!...Where's my thanks?!"

"Ah, thank you…"

"HAAAH?!"

"Er…thank you very much," Chrona blinks.

Maka places a hand over her heart in relief.

Chrona swings Ragnarok and disarms Strippy of his weapon. The broadsword spins over Strippy's head and clatters onto the floor. Strippy swallows thickly as Chrona moves forward and holds the blade across his throat. She leans over him until her lips was at his ear. Strippy blushes and swallows again.

"Why are you so surprised? You all say such nasty things about me…I thought you all knew by now…my blood is black."

"Easy win! No challenge at all!" yells Ragnarok.

Stein smirks, "Chrona and Ragnarok win."

Chrona smiles and straightens up, but she continues to move backwards and she begins to fall.

"Chrona?!" Ragnarok yelps.

"Rag…na…rok….."

Ragnarok returns to his human form and catches his sister-meister before she could hit the ground.

"CHRONA?!"
