Forest on all sides, damp air the smell of fresh rain fall. "Makami where exactly is the professor?" asked Maka running through the forest not far from death city. "Hush Maka you will know soon. First lets out run the 6 pests that are stalking us so to speak" said Makami who was hovering just above Maka. "Six! Who are they and how am I supposed to fight without Soul? Come to think of it how am I supposed to do anything without Soul?" said Maka now just aware of her disposition. "You will use me we have a great power combined remember? And the six people are your friends" said Makami annoyed.
Maka speed up the pace and soon ran into a clearing but was cut off by six shadowy figures, Then light peaks through the clouds and reveal the six friends. Tsubaki, black star, Liz, patty, kid, and soul all stood there in front of Maka blocking her path.
"Please move I don't want you all to get hurt" said Maka. "Get hurt, Maka we are strong people just being with you we will never get hurt" said Tsubaki. "I mean you all will be hurt by me, because I will have to kill you all if Makami wants to get rid of you. so please go now" said Maka almost on the verge of panic.
Black star suddenly appears behind Maka and then Maka turns toward him, eyes instantly black. She pushes Black Star he suddenly goes flying into the forest with extreme force and velocity. She turns to face the rest of them and suddenly Black Star is in front of her drenched in blood. "Good Makami but I've gotten stronger so don't hold back because I'm Maka's friend" said Black Star who now called for Tsubaki to stay put. Makami and Back Star start fighting. Makami get's a few punches to the side and arms but she counters them with blows that would kill a grown rhino with the softest of touches. Black Star still does not give in then he suddenly losses his balance when Makami punches his side. He starts to fall when he uses his big blow on her it doesn't work she doesn't move an inch. Kid starts walking to their fight, determined to end this one sided onslaught. Kid was far more powerful than Black Star and could probably hold his own against her. Black Star Stops Kid where he is with a glare, telling him this was his fight.
Makami suddenly punches Black Star in the stomach his shirt rip's in the front and the back and he goes flying in the air toward the sky. When he comes back down he hits the floor blood pooling around his body. Tsubaki rushes to his side then she suddenly goes pale as she realized Black Star had multiple broken bones and that his heart was beating very slowly. "Maka you almost killed him, he is dying. I'm not holding back on you Maka I thought we were your friends" said Tsubaki who is about to get up full of anger. But then Black Star grabs her hand and says " that's not Maka it's Makami and she will kill you without a second thought, stay here, let me fight her" Black Star tries to get up when Soul steps in front of them both.
" Maka this is just low letting Makami control you so easily. try to accomplish something by yourself for once and fight me not as Makami but as Maka Alburn the simple minded, tough hearted, takes crap from no one, shy, kind girl I once knew" said Soul standing tall a few feet away from Makami. "Sorry weapon but Maka can't hear you because I'm in control I'm always in contro...o...l" Makami suddenly grabbed her head her eyes showing a faint color of green, Then her eyes show a bright color of green with determination. Maka had to force Makami into submission reminding her that this was her body and soul was her Partner to fight.
"I'll fight you Soul let's see who is stronger" Maka said as she ran toward Soul. Kid, Liz, and Patty sat next to Tsubaki and Black Star. Soul jumped out of the way while Maka tried to punch him. Soul ran toward Maka jumping over her and kicking her in the back. Maka then tried to grab Soul, turning fast but instead Soul grabbed her arm and pulled her in for a hug but she escaped and Soul hugged the air. She pushed him from the back and he fell on the floor. She then tried to jump on him but he rolled away and she fell into the grass. Then they started to wrestle and they started to play around not even really fighting anymore. They were laughing and then Patty jumped in piggy back riding Soul while Maka tortured Kid by making her outfit unsymmetrical and putting down one side of her pigtails. They all were having fun except that kid tried to make Maka perfect again which took almost 20 minutes of Maka standing still while Kid fixed her outfit and did her hair with a blush on his face. Just touching Maka made Kid's heart beat fast but the fact that he got to make her perfect was by far the best thing that had happened to him. Black Star started to recover because he knew a way to heal himself very slowly, to repair the broken bones would take at least a day and deep cuts a few hours. The years of training did him some good and he felt proud that he could last a while against Makami.
"Well this was quite fun but I need Maka back if you all don't mind so good bye to you all. Maka it's time to go" said Makami who was now floating next to Maka. "I'm sorry everyone but I need to make everything right. So please don't follow me it's going to be too dangerous to take you all with me. Assassins are coming for me and Makami and I don't want them using you all to get to me so this is good bye" with that Maka stood and then Soul and Kid both grabbed her arms and pulled her down. "Take us with you, we want to help so much we promise we won't make Makami mad please" said Soul with a puppy dog face. "And I can sense another presence in almost an instant so I'll be of help if it's of any use" said Kid determined to make his abilities appealing to Makami.
"Fine you guys can come. What about you two?" said Makami as she pointed to Black Star and Tsubaki. "I know you are strong if you took a beating from me at 80% of my power. But you what can you do?" she said to Tsubaki.
" I may not look like it but use me the right way and the power of my family emerges to a point of all self control lost, that's why only black star can use me he can handle the power without dying" said Tsubaki with a serious face, she wanted to be something to Makami, she was not useless.
"I like powerful girls you can come along, and the guys have to carry all the supplies any objections?" said Makami almost teasing. "Noooope" said all the girls and the guys already knew this was going to be a long trip. Maka worked on bandaging Black Star, regretting letting Makami take control of the situation. She was able to make splints for him and even made him some crutches so he would not have to be carried by other people. Maka knew that Black Stars pride would never let him be carried by other people, especially friends.
