Chapter 6 Mavera Strikes! Part 1 The Caretaker Attacks the DWMA?
It was night time in one of the towns in Nevada, Dr. Alan took out his latest victim and ate their soul and glowed. He cackled.
"Too bad you didn't escape when you had the chance! Now, I am almost done with my soul collection and I will become a fullfledged Kishin!" he exclaimed and started to walk when he passed by a girl that was on the street.
"I know how you can achieve your ggoal." The girl said in a raspy tone.
"Huh?" he asked and turned to her.
She revealed herself and was a zombie-like girl in a Victorian style dress.
"Who are you?"
"I am Mavera of the Black Court and I came to take out someone that may accomplish your goal."
"And who would that be?"
"The soul of one of the greatest wizards that tried to kill me and that is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden."
Three days later in the DWMA, Baki had his injury on his arm from the past week checked on by Kniges.
"Interesting, it looks like your stitches are starting to heal."
"I have to thank Sasha for that."
"Sasha?"
"A girl we found for him to feed on, it seems like she is scared of him." Aria said.
"Who wouldn't be, her lust is being fed on almost every night." Kniges said.
"Not only that, Ryo wants her fear and we're trying to calm her down everytime she feels Baki's inner demon feeding on her." Miaka said.
"It's getting worse with him I take it." Kniges said.
Baki nodded.
"We better get him another Kishin soul and he will forget about fear for a while." Miaka said.
"One question, can I fight at all?"
"You can, but stay on the sidelines until your stitches are completely heal." Kniges answered.
"Thanks." He said and got off the bench.
"Also, don't forget to mention the taking it easy in training to Harry." Kniges said.
"It hasn't been going on lately because of him doing wizard business with one of his fellow wardens." Miaka told her.
"What kind of wizard business?"
"Something to ddo with attacks going on around in the towns for the past three nights, people say that someone has been taking souls after they kill their victims and have been doing that along the journey to someplace where we don't know where." Aria answered.
"That's all Molly has been getting from him anyways, I guess we will be coming for another visit soon." Miaka said.
Kniges nodded and watched the three of them leave.
"Hmm, I wonder what that someplace is that the killer maybe going?" she wondered.
Harry and Thomas were with Wardens Ramirez and Listens to Wind in one of the towns that had someone become one of their mystery killer's next victim the night before. Harry took a few pictures with a disposable camera as they investigated the area within a warehouse.
"I don't understand how someone would attack him." A girl that was the victim's girlfriend said.
"Did you see the killer's face at all?" Ramirez asked.
"No, it was too dark out and I ran off when my boyfriend told me to escape." She answered.
"Smart boy." Listens to Wind said.
"Thanks for all the help, we will take it from here." Harry told the girl.
She nodded and ran off.
"Great, we don't have anything on who killed the guy and there will be more killings tonight by the looks of things." Ramirez said.
"What should we do Harry?" Thomas asked.
"Go to the next town of course, I have a feeling that whoever killed these people was making some sort of pattern." He answered and went to the nearest wall. "Come on guys! Aparturum!"
A sliver opened up and Harry stepped through and Thomas, Ramirez, and Listens-to-Wind followed suit.
Back at the DWMA, Blood Fang were helping Cid clean up the library after a group of students broke out in a riot over an assignment.
"Never thought a group would go crazy over an assignment." Kana said as she put some books away.
"Be glad I broke the fight up before someone used a soul resonance." Cid told them.
"If they did resonate this place would be a lot worse and damages would be paid ffor." Jiro said.
"By the way, did your teacher contacted you about when he will be back?" Cid asked.
"No, not yet, I have a feeling he will in a few hours." Molly answered.
"I hope he does come back, I have a weird feeling that something odd will happen here." Jack told them.
"How so?" Aria asked.
"I don't know but it might be a Kishin coming here." He answered.
cid laughed and said, "Don't worry about that, you guys will take it out with all the training Mr. Dresden put you through and besides we have a lot of other meisters that go to this school with a lot of skill."
"I hope you're right." Jack said.
"Come on, let's get this finished so we can head back to our dorm or hang out with Crescent Moon." Jiro said.
They finished up with putting the books away and getting the papers put up and got the chairs straightened up and left the library in time ffor the sun to they walked, Jiro felt something a bit odd and stopped.
Kyosuke noticed and turned to ask, "What is it?"
"I don't know why but I have a weird feeling and that it is a bit off for a night like this." He answered.
"It is a school night after all, there won't be many students around anyways." Kana told him.
"We shouldn't worry, let's get back to our dorm rooms." Aria told him.
They started to walk again when there was a rustle in the bushes.
"What was that?" Miaka asked.
"Just a squirrel." Kyosuke answered.
"A squirrel wouldn't make that much noise." Ryonosuke said.
"We should arm ourselves." Baki said.
Jiro nodded.
The weapon partners transformed and the meisters were armed when a figure jumped at them with a blade.
"Oh shit!" Molly yelled and shot at them.
Meanwhile in the town a mile away from Death Valley, Harry and company were investigating another murder and got the same information from a couple and this time it was a young meister and their weapon partner being attacked.
"How can that happen when they are after this killer's soul?" Thomas asked.
"I think I know why, this person is looking for a person at the DWMA and they thought this pair was attacked because of it." Harry answered.
"Who are they after, that is the question and where are they going in order to get them?" Listens-to-Wind asked.
"It can't be any of the classmates in Crescent Moon nor Stein, but-it can't be!" Harry exclaimed.
"What is it?" Ramirez asked.
"Hell's Bells! We need to get back to the academy, I have a feeling that they are after my class or me!" he answered and went to the wall and cut a sliver and went through.
The others also followed.
Author's Commentary
Hey guys, yes another Dresden character appears! Why Mavera you may ask? I thought it would be cool to cross her over since she might have a bone to pick with Harry again and this time to bring a soon-to-be Kishin to do it since she had vampires go after him at first back in Blood Rights after all. Even though she did try to get back at him through blackmail in Dead Beat as well. I guess I will leave off here and stay tuned for the next chapter!
