Chapter 13 Love for the Smell of Fear! The Return of Madrigal Means No Escape?
The Carpenter family stayed for two more days and and were able to spend time with both classes, Blood Fang and Crescent Moon, and observed them in their training. They left on the third day to head back to Chicago. Once they left, assignments started again in soul gathering for the next few nights. Not only that a few feedings along the way on people's lust.
When Ryo, Kyo, Soul, Maka, and Chrona were about to get into a place where their next target is. When they arrived, they noticed the door was open.
"What the hell?" Soul asked as they got closer.
"The door's open." Maka said.
They went inside and they heard screams coming from inside and they went to a room and saw a man go down and his life left his body completely.
"It can't be…" Kyo said.
"What do you mean?" Soul asked.
"This person was scared to death." Ryonosuke answered.
"Is it that possible?" Chrona asked.
"Yeah, unless someone scares them to that point." Kyosuke answered.
"Isn't this our target though?" Chrona asked.
"Yeah, who would beat us here?" Maka asked.
Kyosuke walked over and saw something and picked it up and Maka and Chrona ran over to see what it was.
"What is it?" Maka asked.
Kyosuke held up a lipstick tube and said, "This belongs to Madeline."
"What?" ryonosuke asked and changed back and took a look at it. "No, that means those two beat us here!"
"You mean those two?" Soul asked.
Ryonosuke nodded and said, "We need to contact Lord Death and quick!" Kyosuke exclaimed.
Both Soul and Ragnarok changed back and they called Lord Death on the nearest window and reported what they found.
"Are you sure it was them?" Lord death asked.
"Yeah, we heard someone scream when we got here." Maka answered.
"The only way of finding someone dead from fear is by having Madrigal feed on them non-stop." Ryonosuke answered.
"I see, there is one thing to do and that is come back to the academy and start strategizing in going up against these two vampires before they get their hands on you two." Lord death said.
"Right!" the twins exclaimed.
They ended their transmission with Lord Death and were heading back to the door when they heard a sound in the building.
"What was that?" Ragnarok asked.
"I don't know, we should go and see though." Maka answered.
They went towards the noise and it led them into a dark room.
"Great, this feels like one of those horror movies where the bad guy is hidden in a dark room." Soul said.
"Which is in one of my masterpieces!" a familiar voice exclaimed and a shiny, point came at them.
"Look out!" Maka yelled.
Kyosuke and Soul dodged.
"We should re-equip ourselves!" Soul exclaimed.
The weapon partners changed back and the person with the spear came at them again and Chrona yelled, "Screaming resonance!"
Ragnarok screamed and their enemy hit the floor.
"Let's shed some light on who came out to get us!" Kyosuke said and found the light switch and the light revealed Madrigal and Madeline in her weapon form.
"Madrigal!" Ryonosuke yelled.
"Took you two long enough!" Madeline yelled as she hopped up and went back to Madrigal.
"I guess you fell into our trap very well." Madrigal said.
"What trap? No one comes at us in the dark and reveal themselves by talking!" Maka yelled.
"For being a famous, horror movie director you're a dumbass!" Ryonosuke yelled.
"Wait, he's a director?" Chrona asked.
"Doesn't seem like one with a name like Madrigal!" Ragnarok exclaimed.
"Enough chatter! We came for the twins!" Madrigal exclaimed.
"Of course, you know that Ryo is not feeding on fear anymore?" Kyosuke asked.
"I feed on lust again!" Ryonosuke exclaimed.
"Like that pansy Thomas and his smartass half brother?" Madeline asked.
"For your info, Harry's not a vampire!" Ryonosuke yelled.
"Man, these two idiots! Kick their uncool asses guys!" Soul yelled.
"You got it!" Kyosuke yelled and went at them.
Madrigal started to fight back.
"Never thought I would watch two White courts fight each other." Soul said.
"According to Kana, when they go into their full power it is a major sight to see." Maka said.
Chrona studied Madeline's spear form and saw a black substance on it.
"What is it chrona?" Ragnarok asked.
"Madrigal's spear has black blood on the tip." He answered.
"What?" Maka asked.
"How could that bastard get his hands on it?" Soul asked.
"Kyo, Ryo, look out! There's black blood on the tip of Madeline's spear head!" chrona yelled.
"Huh?" Kyo asked as he turned and was open.
"You lost your attack!" Madrigal yelled and stabbed Kyosuke was stabbed in his side. He screamed and felt the spear rip out of him.
"Kyo!" Ryo yelled.
"Maka, come on!" Soul yelled.
"Right!" she exclaimed and charged and started to fight Madrigal.
"Hey! You okay?" Chrona asked.
"don't just stand there you idiot! Help Maka and Soul!" Ragnarok yelled.
Chrona nodded and charged in as well.
Kyosuke felt his wound burning a bit and was about to hold it and burnt his fingers a bit and snarled in pain.
Ryonosuke changed back and ran over to him and tried to touch his wound and felt the sensation and asked, "What the hell?"
"It..hurts…" Kyosuke said.
Ryonosuke took his shirt off and held it to his brother's wound and applied pressure and said, "Just hold on."
"Damn that bastard, he took a cheap shot at me when I was distracted!" Kyosuke growled.
"Calm down, you're going to bleed out if you keep this up!" ryonosuke yelled.
Maka was hit to the floor and Soul called out her name as she went ddown. Madrigal cackled as he fought chrona and Ragnarok.
"I can smell the fear off of you boy! Not only that, I smell it off of you and your weapon as well girl! Why not submit yourselves and feed me your fear?" Madrigal asked.
"Hey, save some of that for me! I want to taste it for my first time!" Madeline exclaimed.
"Damn, we're out of luck!" Soul exclaimed.
Maka got up and said, "but not down yet!"
She took Soul back into her hands.
"Let's show these two what we're made of!" she exclaimed.
"soul resonance!" they yelled and Soul transformed.
"Take this Madrigal! Witch hunter!" Maka yelled and went at him at full force.
Madrigal cackled as he fought and yelled, "That won't save you because I can still smell the fear!"
Kyosuke smelled something and then noticed it and licked his lips.
"What is it?" Ryonosuke asked.
"That smells yummy." He heard and gasped.
It can't be, he feeds on lust. I better stop this! Ryonosuke thought.
"Chrona! Use the scream resonance and use it on full force!" Ryonosuke yelled.
"What? That will cause a major energy shock if I do!" Chrona exclaimed.
"It's the only way to take him out ffor now!" Ryonosuke exclaimed.
"I don't think Ragnarok can handle it!"
"You idiot! I can handle it, I know I can!"
"If you say so." He said and held up Ragnarok. "Everyone plug your ears!"
Ryonosuke, Maka, and Soul did after he changed back.
"Now!" Chrona yelled.
Ragnarok screamed at a very, loud level that it caused the windows to break. Madrigal, Madeline, and Kyosuke heard the screamed in pain.
I know it hurts bro, but it is for your own good! Ryonosuke thought.
"Damn it! Let's get out of here!" Madrigal yelled.
"What?" Madeline asked over the scream.
They watched Madrigal run out. Ragnarok stopped screaming as he did and changed back into his mini form and was wheezing a bit.
"You did good Ragnarok." Chrona said.
"I need to give Ryonosuke a major bitch slap for this." He managed to say.
"Sorry, but I think the spear hitting Kyo caused him to feel something and it might affect him a bit more." Ryonosuke said as he helped his knocked out brother up.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Soul asked.
"He is starting to smell fear and getting the taste for it." Ryonosuke answered.
They all gasped.
"Damn, first you and now the other." Ragnarok said.
"We should head back to the academy and try to heal Kyo's wounds and try to figure out what to do about him." Maka said.
They nodded and they started to leave.
In another part of the town they were in, Madrigal and Madeline were heading back to the hotel they were staying in.
"That was a waste!" Madeline exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Madrigal asked.
"The black blood was supposed to go into Ryo not Kyo, how are we going to get him back on fear?" Madeline asked.
"Actually I think it's not a waste."
"Huh?"
"With the blood inside of Kyo, it means we can have him start feeding on fear and then when we have the both of them we can put the blood in Ryo and we would have both of them feeding on fear."
"Not a bad idea."
"This is going to be a fun time with the both of them." Madrigal said and cackled.
