Chapter 7

Shadow: Hey everyone! Wasn't expecting me to update so quickly huh? Not like your complaining right? Anyway, we last left off with Maka and the gang were about to throw down against Mosquito, will they be able to do it? Lots of surprises in this chapter to come! Now I present, Chapter 7!

Sid: Shadowslayer220 does not own Soul Eater or Sly Cooper, if he claimed so I'd turn him in for plagiarism, that's the kinda guy I was.

A swirl of leaves floated by as the group faced the newly formed Mosquito, the meisters and master thief gripped their weapons in anticipation. "His upper body only got bigger; he still has those puny legs." BlackStar pointed out. "Is that how it's supposed to be?" Maka turned to him, "Why don't you ask him?" Sly grinned playfully. "Now that I look at you, your blood looks delicious. I'll enjoy its flavor until I'm full." Mosquito grinned hungrily. "That's…nice. But how about you buy me dinner first?" Sly shot a grin of his own. That's when BlackStar jumped up in the air, "Time to hand it over gramps! The demon tool belongs to I; BlackStar!" He declared as he dove after Mosquito.

He held up his massive hands as he blocked of the meisters attacks, "We'll we shouldn't keep him waiting." Sly smirked as he lunged at Mosquito, "Ready Soul?" Maka gripped her scythe, "Lets to this Maka." He replied. "Liz, Patty, let's go." Kidd raised his pistols. The group began bombarding Mosquito with attacks; he kept his large hands up in defense against the meisters. Sly managed to slip behind him, raising his cane he swung at his back. However, Sly's cane bounced of Mosquito, nearly slipping out of his hand. "That's not gonna work." He muttered, scanning the area for ideas. He then ran over to one of the many pillars that were alongside the stone path, and with a whack of his cane it began to topple, landing right on Mosquito. As he staggered, Sly jumped in front of him and swung his cane upwards. Connecting to his chin, Mosquito's head jerked back. Sly thought he had the upper hand until Mosquito raised his hand and swatted him like a fly; he was sent flying and crashed into a pillar.

"Sly!" Maka cried; the master thief had crawled from the rubble. Using his cane to steady himself, he gave a shaky thumbs up to her. "Only a scratch Maka, I'm alright." He half smiled; it may have been only a back hand. But Sly felt as if he had been in a car accident, once he felt a bit better he readied himself for another round. "We're not doing much to him!" Kidd called as he fired a barrage of bullets upon Mosquito. BlackStar went for attack, but he side-stepped. Delivering a hard right fist to BlackStar's face, sending him flying back just Sly did. The raccoon was going toe to toe with the Arachnophobia henchman, dodging and ducking the fists that Mosquito was throwing at him. "I'm starting to wish I brought Murray along," He muttered to himself.

As Sly ducked another attack, Mosquito brought his fist up into a powerful punch. Still recovering from the last dodge, he had no choice but to bring his cane up in hopes of blocking his attack. As Mosquitos fist connected to Sly's cane…it cracked, everyone's eyes lit up with shock, and Sly's heart cracked with it. Time seemed to slow to a crawl, as the master thief's cane shattered before his very eyes; and along with it his heart. Sly landed on the ground hard, rolling a few times before stopping on his stomach. The pieces of his cane landing in front him, he looked up in shock and disbelief. His family air loom, ruined. The raccoon slowly crawled to it, getting on his knees he lifted pieces of bthe destroyed weapon in his hands.

Maka rushed to his side, "Sly? Are you okay?" She muttered, he didn't respond. He just kept staring at what was left of his cane; Maka was starting to see how much that cane meant to him. But then, the pieces of the cane started to glow. This caught everyone's attention; it kept getting brighter, and brighter. To the point where everyone had shielded their eyes, as it died down. The pieces of the cane were replaced…with a young female raccoon, everyone's dropped. She had white fur, with long silver hair. She didn't look much older than Maka; she wore a dark green turtle neck that went below her waist. "What in the world…" Sly awed. She turned to him with bright blue eyes; she reached out to him before fainting. Sly and Maka rushed to her side, "I…I don't understand…" He turned to her. "She's a weapon," Maka replied peering into her soul. "A weapon?" Sly's eyes widened in disbelief, "Like what Soul and the others are?" He asked; the scythe meister nodded.

"How interesting, I wonder what her blood tastes like." Mosquito piped in, Sly glared at him, pulling the girl close to his chest protectively. "Stay here and tend to her, let us handle him." Maka assured, the master thief gave a nod as she went to join the others. "Let's get him guys." Maka glared as they charged at him, BlackStar was the first to strike. Mosquito had blocked his attacks once more, Maka jumped over him with a Witch Hunter fully charged up. It connected successfully, slicing across his chest and sending him crashing into the stone pathway. As they regrouped, Mosquito stepped out of the smoke. "What? How?" Maka awed, "Fools, my form from 100 years ago was the toughest." He smirked. "Not even a scratch on him." Sly gritted his teeth. "Soul, what should we do?" Maka asked her partner. "This isn't an enemy we can beat without matching all of our soul wavelengths." She added.

"We can't feel each other's wavelengths in this field…the only one who can feel them is you since you're well trained with it." He replied. "You can already sense the difference in power, can't you?" Mosquito smirked. "Grr, shut up and give us the demon tool!" Kidd demanded as he gritted his teeth. The Arachnophobia henchmen pointed at his top hat he was wearing, "Do you all even know what "Brew" is inside my hat?" He asked. The group remained silent, glaring hard at him. "Heh, you don't do you? You've fought well to this point not evening knowing what this tool does? The brashness of youth, brats don't know the value of things." He scoffed, Sly continued to grit his teeth at Mosquito, that's when the girl groaned as her eyes fluttered. "Wha…" She muttered. "Shh, just rest, I'm right here." The master thief replied soothingly.

Mosquito threw his hands up in the air as he laughed, "By obtaining Brew, Arachnophobia obtains the whole world! It's Lady Arachne's! Everything is! It'll be a top class world! Give up! Don't struggle Shibusen!" He exclaimed. "Just shut up already! How the hell am I supposed to know what Brew is?! I'll destroy it! I don't need something like that! Arachnowhatever, Shibusen, they don't matter! I'm not gonna give it to them!" BlackStar exclaimed as Tsubaki morphed into the enchanted sword mode. "COME FACE THE GREAT BLACKSTAR!" He roared with an insane look on his face, this disturbed the rest of the group a little. "Be quiet will ya'? Someone's trying to sleep here." Sly smirked. "Shadow Star!" The shadow weapon meister declared as he charged forward, with Maka and Kidd right behind him.

They hit Mosquito with a range of attacks, each not even scratching the Arachnophobia henchmen. "Attacks like that won't defeat my walls of flesh!" He exclaimed as he knocked everyone back, landing on their backs. Maka looked up to see Mosquito charging right for her, "Maka!" Soul and Sly cried. "You Bastard!" BlackStar exclaimed as he jumped right in front of him, taking the hit for her. "BlackStar!" She cried as he was sent flying back, landing on his face. "If you all stay in a line, it's easy for me to attack you from your blind spot." Mosquito smirked a he curled up into a large ball, he rolled after the trio he knocked them all up in the air. He then jumped up and clotheslined them into the Earth, "How does it feel!? The weight of 100 years?!" He exclaimed as he pummeled the meisters into the ground. They all lay on the ground, unresponsive. "Guys! Wake up!" Liz pleaded.

Sly gritted his teeth as he pounded his clenched fists into the ground, "Damn it! I can't just sit here and watch my friends get pummeled!" He cursed. "Sly…" The girl muttered, the master thief looked down with surprise, she was smiling warmly as she lifted her hand and touched his furry cheek. "It's okay," She smiled as she glowed once more, she had then morphed into his family cane. Only this one had a golden handle, with a shiny silver hook. He rose to his feet, glaring at Mosquito as he gripped his weapon tight. "I think it's time I closed the curtain on this battle." He smirked as he sharpened his nose, as he went to pierce Maka. His nose was deflected by Sly, "It's not over till the fat lady sings, and you're not singing yet." He smirked. "Sly," Maka muttered. Mosquito growled in anger, "I'm gonna cut that disrespectful tongue from your mouth!"

As he went to for an attack, Sly gripped his cane and swung as hard as his muscle could let him. This sent Mosquito flying at breakneck speaks into a wall, completely toppling it. "Woah…that's new." He stared at his cane in disbelief. Maka and everyone else rose to her feet, at that time Sly's cane glowed once more and the strange girl was back in his arms. "It appears she only had enough energy for one attack." Kidd spoke glancing down at her, Sly glanced down at her as well, his mind filled with wonder. That's when Mosquito roared in anger, throwing rubble off himself.

"Everyone listen," Soul spoke, "We're going to do team Soul Resonance using sound as a medium." Maka turned to her weapon, "Huh? Using sound; is that even…Can you do it Soul?" She asked. "Yeah, when you were retaking your duel arts training, I figured that maybe I could do it too. Since I can sense everyone's wavelengths coming through you Maka…It's thanks to you I have the ability to sense souls." He replied. "But how does the transmission of the soul wavelength work?" Tsubaki asked. "I'll play the piano in my soul; the sound will transmit directly into your souls." He replied. Maka then began to giggle, "What is it? You think this is funny?" A tick mark formed on the scythe. "Well, I mean, we're all trying to think of a strategy. To get you, who dislikes playing the piano for people, to play the piano." She smiled. "Don't act all high and mighty yo." BlackStar smirked. "We don't even have 5 minutes left, it's a shame we can't take our time to listen to it." Kidd smiled. "You're going to let us listen Soul?" Tsubaki asked. ""We're looking forward to it." Liz replied, "Yeah!" Patty giggled.

Sly smiled as he turned to Maka, "Knock 'em dead." Maka smiled back as the master thief got to a safe distance, Maka turned back to Mosquito. That's when a powerful piano chord was played, taking the group by surprise. "Everybody's soul wavelengths are being transmitted." BlackStar smirked as he felt the pressure, that's when Mosquito appeared in front of them. "Die!" Exclaimed as he swung his fist, everyone's eyes lit up. Maka and Kidd jumped out of the way as BlackStar blocked Mosquito's attack. He then jumped up after Maka, "You're too soft." He smirked. That's when Maka ducked, and BlackStar jumped over her with a powerful attack from his sword. "What?! Their movements are completely different from before!" He gritted his teeth. He was then shot by a powerful blast from Kidd's pistols.

Sly smirked at his friends performance, they were something else. He looked down at the girl again, still in amazement. Has this girl been in his cane the whole time? And for how long? This is all too weird for him; could he be a meister like the others? He turned back to the fight. "Soul Resonance, Shadow Star." He growled as his shadow wrapped around Mosquito's massive arms, then slashed right through him. The Arachnophobia henchman howled out in pain, "Heh, Tsubaki, cancel sword mode." BlackStar huffed. "You bastard…" Mosquito slowly turned around, only to have Kidd's soul resonance pointing in his face. "Time till feedback, five seconds." Patty giggled. "Looks like your iron flesh, has been cut….Death Cannon!" He declared as he shot a massive ball of yellow energy straight at Mosquito.

A large explosion followed, and as the smoke cleared. Mosquito's arms were blown off, unable to keep balance he stuck his nose in the ground like a kick-stand. "My arms…I can't keep balance." He groaned in pain. "His guard is down, quickly let's get the demon tool." Maka ordered. "No, it's over." Soul replied as the piano music died down. "Times up." He muttered. "Why Soul?! We still have one minute! Look at his state, it won't even take a minute." Maka protested.

"Heh, someone's finally thinking straight." Mosquito scoffed. "Yes, but if you remember from earlier he said 100 years should be plenty? That means this haft pint geezer has more transformations." Sly interjected as he approached them, "Besides, we've got bigger problems." He glanced down at the young raccoon in his arms. "It's also true by making himself younger he can stay in ten minutes longer!" Kidd pointed out. "Did you finally realize, you had no chance of winning from the start? Your bodies are gonna deteriorate soon, for fighting bravely I'll let you go this time. There's nothing you can do, it's best if you just head back." Mosquito spoke.

"After we've come this far…" Maka gritted her teeth, "You must be joking! To leave like whipped dogs?!" BlackStar exclaimed, he then gripped his chest in pain. "Let's go back BlackStar…" Tsubaki muttered quietly. "Hurry you haven't much time, heh heh I'll take it easy transforming into my shape from two hundred years ago for you." He smirked. Having no choice, the group turned and bolted away as Mosquito began to transform.

Finally making their way out of the field, they were met with a terrible sight. Their eyes widened in shock, Marie, Stein, Sid, and Nygus had been attending to the badly injured team of Kilik…along with Murray. Handing the girl for Soul to hold, the master thief rushed to his best friend's side. "Sly! Something's happened!" Bentley cried frantically through the com. "Sly…" Murray reached and grabbed onto the raccoon shirt, "I…I saw him…he was here…we were…no match." He muttered before fainting due to his injuries, Sly didn't know what to do. He was overcome with, sadness, sorrow, …and anger. "GRRRAAAAAAAHHHHH CLOCKWERK!" He screamed into the snowy sky.

Shadow: Oh no Murray! Will he be alright?! Will he be okay? What about the mysterious girl that came from Sly's cane? WHY ISN'T ANYTHING MAKING SENSE!? Not to worry, all your questions shall be answered in Chapter 8! Please leave a review and hit me with your best shot on critisicsm, till next time!
