Chapter 2-You don't Fuck With a God
-SOULS POV-
I walked into the Death Room to find that it had already been cleared out of the tables and chairs from earlier this morning. The only ones in the room were Lord Death myself and Spirit, who was constantly glaring at me. I decided to ignore it and began to approach Lord Death.
I was about 8 feet from Lord Death when Spirit decided to run his mouth. "Hold it right there Eater! You're close enough!"
I stopped and glared back at him.
"Spirit there is no need for that, come on Soul, you're quite fine."
I then continued to walk slowly to Lord Death.
"Alright, but you try anything funny and I will not hesitate to kill you." Spirit said lowly.
"Alright Soul. You're probably a little confused as to why I called you back whithin 30 minutes rather than 2 hours like I said. But I had no choice. I apologize. They showed up early so we have to do it now."
"Uhm.. W-Who's 'they' ? "
"You will see."
"Okay?"
"Now remind me again. You did choose paroll correct? If thats not what you wnated then this will be your last chance to change it."
"Well I actually...I..." I sighed "Y-yeah...I did choose paroll..."
"Excelent then we can jump right to it! Now you must be aware that you were not charged with murder, you were let off easy with just a charge of man slaughter, which I think it still too harsh but the council insisted...But because of this you are still able to be Death City's one and only deamon hunter!"
I nodded. "Okay... well whats my paroll then?"
"You will be under house arrest for 6 months."
"What?! How will I be able to go out and eat and-"
"You will move out of your current home..."
"Where am I living?!"
"Let me finish! You will be under house arrest for 4 months so you will have to move out of your current hom and move in with someone else.. Now you're probably wondering how you will be able to do your regular patrols every night like you usually do to hunt demons. You will be able to do that but you will be escorted by 2 of death city's best meisters, their weapons will tag along of course to help you fight the demons. While you are doing this will also be training them, showing them how to kill the demons and track them."
"Kill them?"
"Oh yes Soul, you are the only person I have ever met who has been able to kill a demon. Usually we just have to banish them to Limbo, but you have the power to kill them so you will be teaching these 2 meisters."
"O-okay.. but still who will I mov-"
"You both can come in now!"
I turned around to see the door to the room open, but no one entered. But then.. I heard a familiar loud and annoying voice.
"SSSOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUL!" And before I knew it I was tackled by a blue haired meister.
"B-BlackStar?! You're one of Death City's best meisters?! This is a joke! Get off me!" I yelled trying to get BlackStar off of me.
BlackStar let go of me and jumped to his feet leaving me on the ground. "HA! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A STAR LIKE MYSELF!"
I slowly stood up and glared at Lord Death.
"This is no joke Soul." I heard a familiar voice behind me, I jumped forward a little startled then turned around to find out that it was Kid.
"You mean I'm stuck with these two!?" I said gesturing to Kid and BlackStar.
"Thats right Soul and you will be moving in with Kid and his weapons."
I sighed and looked at them. They gave me confused looks.
"You okay Soul? If I werent mistaken I would say that you're disappointed look.." Kid stated.
"Yeah." BlackStar nudged me. "Whats with you? Aren't you happy to see us? Its been almost half a year since..."
"I-Its not that I don't want to see you guys but... I'm worried if we're around each other Maka would.."
Lord Death interrupted. "Don't you worry about that Soul. I believe it will be good for you to be around them rather than being alone anyway... If you're good and don't lose yourself again then your paroll will be cut short. So don't worry about anything. we don't want you to get stressed and ..."
"Kill someone again?" I finished.
"Yes.." Lord Death said.
Kid and BlackStar gave me worried looks.
"My father is right, Soul. The best thing for you right now is to try to stay in a stress free enviorment and focous on getting rid of the other demons. You don't have to worry about Maka seeing you."
"Oh and your house is stress free?"
"Of course! Its perfectly symmetrical! I don't know how much more relaxing you can get than that!" Kid said proudly.
I sighed feeling defeated. "Okay.. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try living with you for a while."
"Thats the spirit!" Lord Death said. "Now soul you have 24 hours to move into Kids home. If you fail to do so whithin your given time then.. the council will.."
"I know I know.. I'll get right to that. But first.. Lord Death can I speak with you?"
"Oh sure. What about?"
"Well I- I cant say.."
"Oh very well then! Spirit, Kiddo, BlackStar! Please vacate the room."
They all 3 left whispering to themselves.
"Okay Soul. Tell me what this is about?"
"I think you know."
"..."
"Kami told me what she could but I want you to tell me everything."
"Well... I suppose theres no way to ignore this situation now.."
"I suppose so." I said.
"Well I'll start from the begenning...about a week ago an important document was discovered. We call it a prophecy because it seems to be predicting the near future. The prophecy has shown us that very soon, an evil will arise. An evil we have never seen before. It will be unstoppable... Our only hope is the messiah it showed."
"And you think I'm this messiah?"
"Well we all agreed it was safe to assume that it was you, since aside from myself you seem to be one of the most powerful beings this world has come to know.. But... if this messiah fails then this world will die. Darkness will fall, madness will engulf this world and we will be doomed... Thats why your mental health is so important Soul."
"Oh.. So-"
"Well thats not all Soul... We are assuming that you are the messiah.. but.. due to your origin of strength and power and recent actions.. there is a possibility that you could also become this evil that we are all so afraid of right now.."
"What?! Me? Come on! That makes no sense! I'm dedicated to this city!"
"Well yes I see that but.. you think you are dedicated.. you act like you are deicated but even though you swear you'll protect everyone and this city.. if you lose yourself.. then you will be unstopable no matter how dedicated you say you are. A good example of this is what you did last night.. though you are you and you didnt want to kill that man you still did."
My eyes widened.
"Do you understand now? Thats why its so important for you to stay stress free. One little mistake and who know what will happen.."
"I-I understand.." I said running one hand through my hair.
"Are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah just processing this..."
We were both silent for a moment until I spoke.
"So I'm just part of some big plan of yours?"
"Well yes I guess you could say that... If by some wild chance you fall into your demon self again and are unable to recover then.. our only chance is to attempt to banish you but if that fails then we will have to kill you..."
"Whao! thats a-a little harsh.. dont you think?!" I said loudly and nervously.
"If we cant get you to recover from your demon self then those are our only options.."
"Okay... and if I don't become this 'evil' then what?"
"If you are not the evil we are talking about then we can only hope that you will help defend us."
I thought about it for a minute. "Okay! I'll play this game of yours... Lets say I become this messiah... and I win.. Then what?"
"Well in that case we can dismiss your paroll. You could move back into your old home..."
"Things will be normal again?"
"I wouldnt exactly say normal but if you mean back to before the evil began to threaten us then yes.
"..Yes.. thats what I mean.."
"So we have a deal?"
I smirked, slightly showing my teeth. "Deal." I shook Lord Death's hand.
-MAKAS POV-
Oh no, I'm just sitting here, not really doing anything. I havent gone out much since the accident." I moved my cell phone to my other ear and then began to slice vegetables. "Yeah, tomorrow sounds fun. Around noon... Yeah... Oh, sure go ahead and come over that sounds like fun. Okay, bye." I hung up the phone and set it on the counter. I looked through the walkway into the living room.
"Hey Blair!" I yelled to the purple haired woman sitting on the couch watching tv.
"Yes Maka?" She said turning around with a smile. (Blair was informed about Maka's memories being taken away)
"Tsubaki will be joining us for dinner tonight if thats alright!"
"Thats fine, I don't mind at all!" Blair said with a smile before turning back and wtaching tv.
I smiled and continued cooking. Once I was done, I put everything in the oven and went and sat down. I sighed loudly.
Blair looked at me. "You okay Maka?"
I smiled. "Yeah just exauhsted.."
"I think we need to have a girls night out." Blair said cheerfully.
"A girls night out?" I laughed. "I think that would be fun but also.. I'm not ready to go out yet.. I still need time to collect myself."
"Maka! You can't use that excuse anymore on me!" Blair stood up. "Its been 5 months since the accident! I think its time to go out and enjoy yourself." Blair placed a hand on my shoulder. "Maybe meet someone!?"
I laughed and brushed off her hand. "I know what you mean but... "
Blair stared at me with sad eyes attempting to guilt trip me. I rolled my eyes. "Maybe! Maybe we can go out.. Just for a little though.."
Blair screamed and jumped up and down. "Yay! I have the perfect outfit for you! Wait here!"
"What?" Blair took off upstairs. I sighed.
I'm alone now. I looked around the room. On the end table next to the couch stood a small picture of me and my ex-weapon. I picked up the picture frame staring at the picture.
"I wish I could remember who you were..."
-FLASHBACK-
"Maka, you need help cleaning anything up, up there?" Blair yelled from downstairs.
"No, I'm good thanks! But let me know if you need any help,kay?!"
"Okay!~"
I continued to clean out an old dresser that was full of papers and letters of the past years. Most of the letters were from my mother, or letters I wrote for my mother but never sent. It was time for spring cleaning so this year I decided to go through everything and clean it all out! Since my mother was moving back to Death City in about 2 and a half months I thought it would be appropriate to get rid of the letters or to stash them im a box in my closet.
As I was picking up the last few papers I noticed a picture. I placed the papers on the floor and picked up the picture... It was a picture of me and a boy... I had a huge smile, I had one of my hands around the boy while I held up a peace sign with my other hand... this picture must've been from a long time ago, I looked like I was about 15. And the boy.. I couldn't quite remember who he was.. but I knew I have seen him many times before. He had an arm around my waist and was also holding up a peace sign. He had a funny grin... but his teeth were sharp.. like a wild animal.. a shark maybe.. his hair was snow white and messy.. his eyes were crimson red... Who was this boy? Maybe Blair knows.
I walked downstairs with the picture in my hand.
"Hey Blair?"
"Yes Maka?" She turned around.
I handed her the picture. "Who is the boy in this picture?"
I could see Blairs eyes grow, she looked slightly afraid. "You ok?" I asked.
"Oh- Yes. I'm ok. This boy.. I don't remember him at all, I don't think I knew him. Maybe he was your old weapon before the accident?" Blair handed the picture back to me.
"My old weapon?" I looked at the picture closer and smiled slightly. Without hesitation I went back into my room and found an empty picture frame, I then put the picture of me and my possibly ex-weapon in it and then placed it on the end table next to the couch.
"Maybe my memory will return over time. Kid and BlackStar probably know who he is.."
"Yea, Maybe." Blair said quietly.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
I sighed. "I have forgotten something terribly important and it hurts... If he was my weapon where was he after the accident? Did he die? Did he abandon me? Is he the one who hurt me?... No he couldn't have...Could he?... Why does no one remember him?... Why?"
(Everyone does remember Soul they're just lying to Maka to prevent her from remembering him)
"I feel so incomplete..."
I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard loud footsteps coming from upstairs. I looked at the staircase watching Blair run down it quickly holding a short black dress in one hand.
"Oh death.. what did I do to myself?" I said sarcastically, but quietly so Blair could not hear.
"Here Maka! I want you to wear this tonight!"
I quickly put the picture back down and stood up.
Blair held up what she wanted me to wear. It was a short black dress with one long sleeve that went over the left arm, the length of the dress was half way above where my knees would be.
"B-Blair. Where are we going?"
"To a club! And you will look amazing in this!"
"But I.. I dont think I'd be comfortable in that plus I did just put dinner in the oven.."
"Maka you said we could go out!"
"I-I know. I wasnt thinking when I said we could go."
Blair started to pout... I rolled my eyes and sighed. "How about we go tomorrow, if we do that, we'll be able to stay longer too. Sound ok?"
Blair smiled. "Sounds like a plan! Let me put this in your room!" Blair then ran back upstairs.
I plopped back down on the couch. And exhaled loudly. "I cant wait for tomorrow." I said sarcastically.
-SOULS POV-
I was looking at the moon while I waited on top of a building next to the train's tracks. I was waiting for BlackStar and Kid to catch up.
I soon heard 2 tired voices. I turned around.
"S-Soul, why do you do this every night?!" Kid asked.
"Because its a good view of the city. And this isnt our stop."
They both gave me worried/confused looks as I walked to the edge of the building.
"This is just where we catch our ride." I smirked as I fell backwards off of the building knowing that the train would pass any second.
I heard Kid and BlackStars worried gasps which only made me smirk.
And then I heard it, the train. I did a backflip as I was falling then perfectly landed crouched down on the train.
As I was on the train I looked over myshoulder, I could see Kid and BlackStar looking over the edge of the building shocked.
"I love showing off." I said to myself as I stood. "COME ON JUMP!"
I was kind of far away, but I could tell that they had jumped on the train.
I smirked. "Now try to keep up." I said.. I pulled the hood of my cloak on then began running.
At this point Kid and BlackStar had already gotten pretty close. But I was about to lose them. We were at the bridge that the train went under.
I prepared myself to jump over the bridge hoping Kid and BlackStar would hit the unexpected bridge. But to my suprise I was tackled by Kid.. and then BlackStar.
"Why are you trying to run from us?!" Kid asked.
"I'm not! I was just having fun! This is how I got trained!" I yelled back, trying to speak over the sound of the train.
Kid and BlackStar got off of me. I stood up and prepared myself to jump over the bridge. Then I saw something in the corner of my eye. I looked and saw it. Demons.
"Guys." I gestured towards the demons.
The looked and then looked at me.
"Okay! Jump off now-" I was cut off when I felt my body get slammed against something.
"Ugh,..." I felt for the railing and pulled my whole body onto the bridge. I laid on the bridge taking in all the pain.
"W-where the hell is BlackStar and Kid?" I asked myself.
I stood up slowly, using the railing to support myself. I looked where the demons were to see Kid and BlackStar trying to fight them.
"Oh boy.. " I said to myself then ran towards them.
When I approached them the demons stopped and looked at me. Kid and BlackStar turned around.
"Soul?" They both said.
"Lets just kill these guys and go home." I held out my hand and transformed it into the scythe. "I have a head ache."
I started to run towards the demons but one.. I dont know what you would call it. A battle cry? I dont know.. but it screamed really loudly, it was so horrible sounding. It sounded like 1,000 screeching tires mixed 100 screaming children. I couldnt explain it.
It only halfway hurt, I was still able to listen to it without having to cover my ears. But BlackStar and Kid couldnt handle it. They fell to the ground holding their ears. Then it stopped.
The city was quiet as a graveyard... Kid and BlackStar stood slowly and cautiously.
"What. Was. That?" BlackStar asked.
"I-I dont know." I said.. "But it looks like their waiting on something..." I finished quietly.
"Why dont we just attack?" Kid asked almost whispering.
"No- Just wait. I want to see what they're-"
I was cut off by the same noise but on the other side of the city.
"Shit." I said.
"What's happening?!" Kid asked.
"Ah! What was that?!" I could hear Liz ask.
"Uh oh!~" Patty added on.
"B-BlackStar maybe we should go?!" Tsubaki tried to plead with BlackStar.
"They just asked for help." I said.
"Run or fight?!" BlackStar asked as all 3 of us were backing up but still facing the demons.
I could sense the demons were getting closer.
"Run or fight?!" He said louder.
"BOTH!" I said. At that moment we took off running, I could tell the demons were following us, there were alot. I feel them there, but there were too many to count.
We came to a 4 way intersection on the street and of course there were no cars.
"Which way?!" BlackStar yelled.
"Left!" "Rgiht!"
Me and Kid both tried to direct everyone at the same time. Me wanting to go left, Kid wanting to go right.
"What?!"
"LEFT! Come on!" I yelled.
Kid and BlackStar followed me. There was a fire escape.
"To the roof!" I said.
We all quickly climbed the fire esape and made it to the roof. The demons lost track of us.
We were all out of breath.
"We made it! I cant believe we actually made it!" BlackStar said cheerfully.
"BlackStar.. we just crossed the street."
"Oh."
"Theres so many." Kid said. I walked next to him and looked down.
"Yeah. We gotta get rid of them all before the nights over."
"How do suppose we do that?"
"We kill them of course."
"Sure thats easy for you to say." BlackStar said as he walked up next to us.
"It'll be fun."
"Whatever you say..." Kid said.
"YAHOOO! TIME TO KILL SOME DEMONS!" BlackStar yelled.
The demons all looked up at us.
"BLACKSTAR! YOU MORON!" Kid yelled.
"GET DOWN!" I yelled to them.
They both ducked down and pushed their backs against the ledge.
"Stay there! Dont follow me!"
"Wait!" Kid tried to yell but I had already taken off with all the demons right behind me.
I knew exactly what I was doing though. I planned on heading to the park. There I could burn all of them eleminating multiple demons at once.
When I arrived at the park it was quiet.. the demons had dissapeared some how. I was out of breath, panting.
"What the hell?"
They must be trying to play tricks on me. I was startled when I heard something in the bushes. I turned around and prepared myself to fight.
-KIDS POV-
Me and BlackStar ducked down and backed up against the ledge so the demons would go over us hopefully without seeing us. As soon as we ducked down Soul took off running, only looking back once to assure himself that the demons were following him.
Seconds later, the demons passed above us. It was loud. There were so many. But they passed by completely whithin moments.
Me and BlackStar stood slowly and stared off in the direction Soul and the demons went.
"why are there so many?!" Liz asked.
"I dont know.." I answered.
"Will Soul be okay on his own?!" Tsubaki asked.
"I dont think so... What do you think BlackStar?"
BlackStar looked at me. "We should go help Soul..."
I nodded and we both took off in that direction.
"Where do you think he's heading?" BlackStar asked.
I looked around.." I know! He's going to the park."
"Wait how do you-"
"Come on!"
I took off with BlackStar following me. We took a short cut to the park. It was empty when we got there.
"Looks like you were wrong." BlackStar stated.
"Hmm.. I was sure he would come here. It seems like he-"
"Wait I see something!" Blacktar said.
We both hid in a near by bush with our heads slightly peaking over the top to see.
We were slightly surprised to see Soul entering the park.
"Looks like my assumptions were correct." I whispered.
"Yeah but where are the demons?" BlackStar asked quietly.
"I'm not sure... Maybe Soul defeated them all without us knowing."
We watched Soul transform his arm back to normal then place his hands on his knees, leaning forward slightly trying to catch his breath.
"He doesnt look like he did.. he looks confused actually." BlackStar added on.
We watched Soul looke slowlyh around the park, I could see his mouth moving but I could not hear him or understand what he was saying...
"Whats going on here?" I asked myself.. my eyes widened. "Is Soul b-"
I was cut off when I heard BlackStar sneeze and fall backwards, his foot kicking the bush.
"BlackStar!" I said quietly.
"Its not my fault, we're around all this nature."
I looked up and saw Soul was approaching us.. I guess it wouldnt hurt to stand now, so I stood with BlackStar standing behind me.
Soul froze and frowned. He sighed.
"Why did you both follow me?"
"Because we wanted to mae sure you were okay." I said.
"Yeah! Where are the demons?! Theres no way you got rid of them all without your gods help!" BlackStar said gesturing to himself.
Soul rolled his eyes. "Guys. I've got this.. its dangerous. You shouldnt be here I dont even know where the demons are-"
Soul was cut off when he was tackled by a demon. They both rolled away from us about 15 feet. Me and BlackStar ducked back down to see how Soul would handle it.
When they both stopped rolling, Soul ended up being pinned down by the demon. It was just a shadow demon but Soul couldnt get it off of him. I'm guessing he was too exauhsted.
"Get off me!" Soul yelled but the demon just chuckled.
"Should we help him?!" BlackStar asked.
I was too busy watching to answer. The demon then took its long claws and dug them into Soul's side. Soul let out a loud scream. I could tell he was in a lot of pain.
"Okay.. he obviously can't do this on his own.." I said.
"Thats right! He needs help from him god!"
"BlackStar.. Soul is a god..."
"Well yeah but.. I am his god!" BlackStar stood up and charged at the demon.
"BlackStar!" Soul yelled.
The demon froze and stared at BlackStar who ran up to it and kicked it, sending it into a tree.
"HAHAHA! YOU FILTHY DEMONS STAND NO CHANCE AGAINST A GOD LIKE ME!"
I ran up to Soul and helped him up. "Soul are you ok?"
"I-I'm fine..."
"But your side.. You're bleeding.."
"It'll heal." He said quietly.
"You're losing too much blood."
Soul shoved me away. "I said it will heal!" He said louder.
BlackStar stopped running his mouth about how great he was and stared at Soul a little shocked. I took a few steps back.
Soul held his side with one hand and transformed his other hand into a scythe and slowly walked towards the demon that was kicked into a tree. Then he stopped suddenly. The demon ran off.
Just a moment after that, Soul collapsed onto the ground.
"Soul?!" Me and BlackStar said in unison.
We wanted to run to his aid but we started to hear hissing all around us. As we looked around we began to see glowing red eyes. The demons. They had us surrounded. Then one by one they began to come out of the trees and bushes.
Me and BlackStar stood back to back.
"Whats the plan?" He asked.
"I'm thinking... We could grab Soul then run for it... But that's too easy.."
"Yeah.. I guess we have to fight our way out of this. Waddya say?"
I laughed slightly. "I guess thats the only solution." I aimed Liz and Patty at some demons.
"Uhh.. Guys. Are you sure about this? It doesnt sound fool proof to me.." Liz said.
"Ready?" I said ignoring Liz's question.
"Ready.." BlackStar said.
Just as i was about to pull the trigger the demon in front of my was suddenyl engulfed with flames.
"What?"
"What the hell?!" BlackStar said.
Then another demon. And another. Before I knew it every demon was on fire. All of them screaming in agony.
"But how-"
"Come on!" BlackStar said as he lifted Soul's unconcious body.
"Damn it..." I ran off following BlackStar.
When we were a safe distance from the park, BlackStar set Soul down.
"What the hell was that?" BlackStar asked.
"I-I think Soul.. I think he did that."
"But how?"
"I don't know.. .but he did it... I-I think we just witnessed the power of a demon god."
"Y-You don't fuck with a god."
Me and BlackStar turned our attention to Soul who was now awake but bearly.
"Soul are you ok?" i asked.
"I told you it would heal.." He said quietly.
"So you did all that?" BlackStar asked.
"Y-Yeah." He said sitting up slowly.
"You look pale..." I said.
"I'm fine.."
I looked back at the glow of the burning park. I could hear sirens from fire trucks. I sighed. "I guess we better go report to father.. "
Soul gave me a worried look. "You think I'm in trouble?"
"I don't know.. "
Ok! That was the second chapter! Sorry if it wasn't as good as you expected. I don't think it was too good but let me know what you think! Things are starting to get exciting!
