Chapter 11 Templar Knight! Molly Has a Family Reunion?
It has been three weeks since the fight against the White council to prove Harry's class' innocence. Kyosuke started to completely heal not only from the injuries from his fight against Mavera and the Caretaker, but getting his energy back from being in his axe form by feeding on Sasha's lust and going through some training. During his training sessions, assignments to hunt Kishin souls started up again and Blood Fang has been traveling with crescent Moon students and Molly even started to do her kishin hunting since Jack has to feed on souls as well to become one of the Deathscythes.
One night on an assignment with Tsubaki and Black Star, Molly, Jack, and Kana and Jiro were fighting off a strong enemy with a Kishin soul. Even Black Star had tsubaki change into her many forms plus the Enchanted Sword form.
"Damn, he seems to never stop!" Jiro yelled as Kana dodged flying knives that were being thrown at them.
"Yeah!" she said.
"I can't even make myself go into veil mode!" Molly exclaimed as she shot back.
"What's worse, he is not eeven giving us any time to do soul resonance!" Black Star exclaimed.
"Give up yet? Or I will have to stab you all one by one?" their enemy asked.
"Man, if only we had a miracle right now!" Molly exclaimed.
"Evil demon! The power of Christ will smite you!" they all heard.
"What was that?" Kana asked.
"It can't be! Can it?" Molly asked.
They saw a figure come down wearing knight armor and with brown hair with a bit of gray in it jump down and swing a sword at the enemy.
He screamed.
"Who is that guy?" Black Star asked.
"And is his armor necessary in a fight against a Kishin?" Tsubaki asked.
"Let's do it Charity!"
"Right!" his sword exclaimed.
"soul resonance!" they yelled.
They saw the sword change into a long, broad sword with a cross on the blade.
"Legendary move of the Templar Meister! Cross templar!"
He struck the enemy and the Kishin appeared in its egg form and Charity changed back and ate it.
"Mom? Dad? What are you two doing here?" Molly asked.
"Wait, those two are your parents?" Black Star asked as the weapons changed back.
"Molly!" charity exclaimed when she saw them and both she and the guy ran over and hugged her.
"Come on you two, can we do this in a private place?" Molly asked.
"Never thought they would miss their daughter so much." Jiro said.
"What do you expect? Humans have parental emotions." Kana said.
"This sucks though, we lost the soul that one of us was after!" Black Star exclaimed.
"Be glad we didn't lose our lives in the fight." Jiro said.
Both of Molly's parents looked up and saw them and Charity asked, "who are they? Have you started hanging out with the wrong crowd again?"
"No, these guys are from the DWMA and well, Harry sent me to try and get my weapon partner souls like these guys." Molly answered.
"I see, I am guessing Harry is still putting you on the right path." Michael said.
"Of course!" Molly exclaimed.
"Um excuse me, shouldn't we head back to the school?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, our teachers might be worrying about us." Jiro said.
Michael and Charity noticed Kana's and Jiro's eyes and their appearance and exclaimed, "White Courts!"
"How do they know about us?" Jiro asked.
"They met Thomas before, that's why." Molly said.
"Why are they with you?" charity asked.
"Long story, we should head back." Molly answered.
"right." Michael said.
They started to walk when they saw a big mini van pull up and the window went down to reveal a guy that looks younger than Molly and with the same appearance as molly and the parents.
"Daniel? What are you doing here?" Molly asked.
"We came here to see you." Charity answered.
"What?" she asked and looked behind her younger brother to see her other siblings. "Aw man, this is embarssing!"
"Don't think of it that way, we should take this opportunity and ride with your family!" Jiro exclaimed as he saw Michael open up the van's doors.
"If you're riding with us, your kind have to ride in the back, we have a pretty big family and have not much room." Michael said.
"very well." Kana said as she got into the back and the others followed. Jack helped Molly into the drove off with Molly giving the directions back to the academy.
Back at the academy, the Ishidas, Soul, Maka, and Chrona met up with the Samamuras, Baki, Thompsons, and Kid when they got back from their assignments.
"how did it go?" Maka asked them.
"Not bad, but the Thompsons and Kid got the soul instead of us." Aria answered.
"What about you?" Kid asked.
"The Ishidas got it again since they're the ones who need the help." Maka answered.
"The good news is that Ryo is not having the fear cravings as bad as he used to." Kyosuke announced.
"that's great!" Aria exclaimed.
"That means you're one step closer to be wielded by my father." Kid said.
Ryonosuke smiled.
"Hey, shouldn't the others get back? I am guessing that Black Star might be whining about Molly or Kana being the stars if they get the soul before him." Soul said.
"Probably the fight is going on longer than it's supposed to be, just wait." Kyo said.
They heard a horn beep and turned to see a big mini van heading their way and it pulled up to the curb.
"What the hell?" Baki asked.
The door opened and they saw some kids come out and saw Molly and Jack come out with them and they saw Tsubaki, Black Star, Kana, and Jiro come out of the back.
"Uh Molly, what is going on?" Maka asked.
"Who are these kids?" Ragnarok asked.
"These kids are my siblings." She answered.
"Siblings?" they all asked.
They saw Michael and Charity come out with Molly's younger brother, Daniel.
"And I'm guessing that's your parents, the older people I mean." Soul said.
"Old?" Charity asked.
"You idiot!" Maka yelled as she Maka chopped him. "You can't call them old!"
Michael laughed and said, "It's okay, maybe I am feeling the old age coming on!"
"Come on now, the way you handled that Kishin was awesome!" Black Star exclaimed.
"Wow Black Star, you sure didn't get down when he took your spotlight!" Tsubaki said.
"No way! Michael Carpenter is awesome!" Black Star exclaimed.
"By the way Molly, where's bob?" her sister, Amanda asked.
"Bob?" Liz asked.
"You mean Harry?" Patty asked.
"He's with Dr. Stein at the conference room. It's a usual protocol for tea-" Kid was saying until he noticed Michael's armor plate. "Simply gorgeous!"
"Here we go again." Liz said.
"Your armor plate is so ezquisite! The symmetry is so beautiful! Who crafted such a really pretty gem?" he asked as he went over to him.
"What's with him?" Daniel asked.
"Don't mind him, we should go into the subbasement and wait for Harry." Molly answered.
"I will also make some tea and some cookies." Jack said.
The little kids brightened up and exclaimed, "Yay!"
"Maybe we should join." Maka said.
"You sure?" Soul asked.
"I have a feeling Kid will be going nuts again on that armor anyways." She answered.
They started to walk again and went to the subbasement in the building where Harry teaches.
Later on, Harry was heading back from the teachers' office arguing with Thomas about how a good majority of the female teachers ran over to Thomas when they saw him.
"I can't believe your looks did it again!" Harry yelled.
"You've already remembered that my powers always disintegrate panties with one look!" Thomas exclaimed.
"I am so glad my students have more self control." Harry said and they got to the basement level of the building and noticed the door was open. "Huh?"
"What is it Harry?" Thomas asked.
Harry had his staff out and they went in and magically lit the candles and the light revealed sleeping kids on the floor surrounding Harry's good friends, Charity and Michael Carpenter who were also asleep. They saw plates with crumbs on the floor next to the kids' feet.
"I'm guessing they came to visit you." Thomas said.
"Yeah, I wonder how they got here?" Harry asked.
"My parents found us on our assignment and helped out and I gave them directions here." Molly explained as she came in holding her littlest brother, Harry, who was also sleeping.
"I see, I'm guessing they're staying the night." Harry said.
"We should also get some sleep." Thomas said.
Harry nodded and he extinguished the candles and they all went to bed.
The next day, everyone was having breakfast all thanks to Jack and both Harry and Michael were reconnecting with each other when Maka and the gang came in.
"I see that everyone's enjoying themselves?" Maka asked.
"Welcome back." Molly said.
"What about the class you're teaching?" Daniel asked Harry.
"They're waiting up there, I have a feeling they might tear up the room." Harry said.
"What about us?" Baki asked as he looked down into the room.
"A figure of speech, you all ready for more training?" Harry asked.
"You bet!" Aria exclaimed.
"can we watch?" one of Molly's siblings asked.
"Can we?" the rest asked.
"Sure why not?" Thomas answered.
They squealed and ran off.
"You know that maybe dangerous, Mr. Dresden." Chairty said.
"Come on now, let them have fun, who knows they might get to watch Molly fight." Michael said.
"That would be a treat." Harry said.
"How is she anyways?" Charity asked.
"She's doing fine, but she hasn't done a soul resonance yet. She has tried but it failed." Harry answered.
"Maybe you should have her try again." Charity said.
"I will make sure that will happen." Harry said as he headed for the steps with them following.
Once on the training field, Molly's siblings were enjoying the show of everyone sparring against each other. They even saw their oldest sis shooting from her veil and then shot a few cans that Black star and Daniel set up for her to see if she could shoot them. She shot them with perfect skill. They all applauded in satisfaction.
"Okay, that's enough!" Harry exclaimed.
Molly sighed in relief and from being a little exhausted from using her magic.
Harry walked over to her and asked, "How's the soul resonance with Jack?"
"Well, I tried but it doesn't seem to work." She answered.
"You almost performed it fully but it seems to short circuit when Jack changes." Ryo said.
"Well, I had the same thing going on when I first did it with you." Kyo told him.
"True." He said.
"Maybe you're not concentrating enough." Kid said.
"No, I am able to, but unless…" she said and looked at Jack in his crossbow form. "Jack, did you have a meister before me?"
He was silent.
"well?" Harry asked.
"I did, it was my older brother and he lost his arm in the ffight." He answered.
"Jacck…" Maka said.
"Probably the problem is that the memories of your brother causes you to short circuit when you try and resonate." Molly said.
"Well, we better try then. Thomas?" Harry asked.
Thomas nodded and changed into his revolver form.
"Wait, I'm not going to spar against you am I?" Molly asked.
"Not quite! Try and use your soul resonance against mine!" Harry exclaimed.
"That is a bit harsh, Molly is doing her best!" Alicia, the second oldest sister, yelled.
"Alicia, he needs to do this, Harry's trying to help." Michael told her.
She nodded.
"Let's do it! Soul resonance!" Harry exclaimed.
Thomas changed into his resonance form and Harry aimed at Molly.
"Now!" Thomas yelled.
"wizard bullet!" Harry yelled.
"Now Molly!" Jack yelled.
"soul resonance!" they yelled.
Jack transformed into a bigger crossbow and sparks came out as he did.
"Hold it in there Jack!" Molly yelled as she held on.
"I can't!" he yelled and was hit by the attack and screamed.
"Jack!" Molly yelled and she fell over.
"Molly!" Charity yelled and ran over to her.
Molly and Jack were on the ground.
"Molly!" Charity yelled.
She opened her eyes and said, "Momma?"
"Thank God!" Charity exclaimed and hugged.
"Damn it!" Jack yelled.
They looked at him.
"Why can't I resonate with you?" he asked.
"You need to practice more, that's all." Molly told him.
"It's not the practice, it's just me! The reason why my brother lost his arm was because of me!" Jack yelled and got up and ran off.
"Jack!" Molly yelled and felt her hand sting from the burns.
"You okay?" Thomas asked.
"Her hands were burned from the short circuit this time." Charity answered.
"We better get her to Kniges and fast." Tsubaki said.
They all nodded and did as Tsubaki said.
Molly thought about what Jack said and thought, Jack, you shouldn't blame yourself for what happened to your brother.
Author's commentary
Hey everyone, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all stuffed yourselves silly and probably wake up from your food comas to read this and many other fics on the site. Yes, I just crossed over the Carpenter family! My boyfriend gave me the idea to do it since Michael would be interesting to cross over and decided why not the family since they appear time to time in the Dresden Files. Well, look out for the next chapter!
