The Reaper Witch chapter 6
Hello to all my loyal readers I hope that you are enjoying this story. Just a reminder I don't own soul eater and im not making any money from writing this fanfiction. I do hope that you enjoy this chapter and the rest to come.
Ouroborus hated warm weather. It may seem like a contradiction considering that she was a witch that used dragon and fire magic, but she could make and exception. She was stuck waiting at an airport in the middle of a desert with Death. (Dam of all the times that I had to get stuck in the desert it had to be with in an airport with a busted cooling system and the 'Great Lord Death'. All I wanted was too say goodbye to Tiamat while she left for her mission, now I have to endure this torture.) "So Death why are we here waiting for one of your death scythes when you had a perfectly good one back at your school?" As Death turned to speak to her and she hated the look on his face. How childish it was as if the answer to her question was the most obvious thing in the world. "That's actually very simple my dear." Ouroborus almost gagged at the amount of sweetness in his tone but kept her composure as it seemed that Death was enjoying her discomfort. "I left Spirit behind as he is one of my most powerful of all my scythes at the moment. So I left him behind to help protect the school in my absence and called in one of my other scythes that just finished with a mission to help me as it has been so long since I left the city."
Suddenly Death's face gained a curious expression as he had arrived later than Ouroborus and he wanted to know why she was at the airport but he also wanted to annoy her a bit more as he enjoyed playing games with people and messing with them from time to time. "So Ouroborus what brought you out hear today."I thought that you where going to wait for me back at the school." Ouroborus looked like she almost wasn't going to answer his question when an idea formed inside of her head. (This is perfect I can hurt him a bit and get back at him for making me wait with him in this hell hole of a desert airport) "Oh that's very simple. I came to wish my daughter and her friend luck on their first mission and give them some advise for fighting kishin eggs. I know it isn't as important as getting a death scythe but it just felt good to see my daughter off. You never know what could happen to kids when we send them off on their first mission."
Death almost physically recoiled as the pain from Kids disappearance returned. He had grown so accustomed to hiding it that he almost wasn't ready to feel it hit him that hard again. He knew that he shouldn't have messed with her as he realized that she had ways of hurting him that didn't require her to battle him. (That fool shouldn't have tried to mess with me now I get to see him suffer) "Death are you all right, should I call someone to come help you?" Ouroborus almost smiled at how weak and helpless Death looked before her but she somehow managed to maintain her facade of looking worried.
As quickly as it had happened did Death's moment of weakness disappear. "No need to worry I'm quite alright." Death paused for a moment as he started looking around the arrival section of the airport. "Ah there's my guests. LIZ PATTY OVERHEAR!" To young women quickly hurried over to them and then one of them smacked Death over the head and started scolding him for yelling when it had been totally unnecessary. She then turned to Ouroborus and though seeming to struggle in keeping her composure she apologised for Death's actions before apologising to everyone else in the airport before turning to Ouroborus again. "Good afternoon my name is Elizabeth but you can call me Liz, the girl comforting Lord Death over there is my sister Patty. She can be a bit weird at times so please forgive her if she does anything stupid. We will be accompanying Lord Death as his death scythes until he returns to Death city and the DWMA." Ouroborus couldn't quite put her finger on it but the way that the Elizabeth girl spoke sounded so tight and controlled.
(Oh I understand now its a well known fact that those two were Kid's daemon weapons and its also a wide spread theory that witches captured Death the kid but without evidence even if they are death scythes know they can't act and it eats them up inside.) "Well dears it is a pleasure to meet you and I do hope that we can get along." Ouroborus paused for a moment as she looked at Death to see if he was expecting anyone else but he just shook his head. "Ok so now that were all here lets get goin." "Oh boy I've been waiting for this, we can all take my car, DEATH MOBILE TO ME!" Death quickly cut of Ouroborus. A large tricked out funeral car. Liz and Ouroborus just looked at Death as if he was crazy as they climbed in while Patty just laughed and cheered loudly. "HAHAHAHA DEATH MOBILE DEATH MOBILE WERE GONNA RIDE THE BATMOBILE!" Liz just sighed at her sister's antics while Ouroborus looked at them not being able to understand how the witches had been unable to conquer Death or at least how Asura lost to these buffoons.
Ouroborus was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts by Death's next announcement. "Lady's please fasten your seatbelts as we are about to leave for our destination." Both Liz and Ouroborus immediately notice the lack of seatbelts and grabbed onto their seats as a loud voice was heard over the cars engines. "PUNCH IT!"
Tiamat's plane
Maka looked at the four children she was watching over. How they were mingling and coming up with strategies and ideas on how to take down kishin eggs or rouge witches. It brought back fond if not slightly painful memories. (I hope that Liz and Patty will be alright on this job. No I can't think about that right now. My first priority is to look after these kids.) "Ok everyone we'll be landing soon so I want you all to get some shut eye so that you are well rested when we arrive in Rome. When we land we'll be meeting up with my partner Soul. He will be giving us the information on the kishin eggs we will be hunting and helping evaluate you four." As Blaze and Sever left for their room they continued to chat even making a bet as to how many kishin eggs they would capture, Tiamat took out a book of spells that her mother had given her so that she could study up on some spells before she went to sleep. Surprisingly it was Lilith that stayed up and wished her friend a good night and blew a raspberry at the boys. "Hey teach got any advice for tomorrow?" Despite her bubbly personality Lilith sounded nervous if not a bit scared.
Maka just smiled at Lilith and ruffled her hair a bit. "No need to worry shorty, even if there is a kishen egg that you guys can't take down My partner and I'll be there to protect you." Lilith actually had a look of disbelief on her face at that. "You mean that you'll be there to protect your students, Tiamat and I are just coming along as accessories aren't we?" It wasn't difficult to miss the depressing tone in her voice, as if she was used to being treated like that. However what she said next shocked Maka. "I mean who wants to have witches around anyway? You see I came from a non-magical family and the moment my magic started to act up they ditched me. I would've given into my madness and become a rouge witch if it hadn't been for Tiamat. She saved me. In the end only witches and wizards care about other witches and wizards." Maka didn't know what to say to the young girl after hearing her story. It was so similar to how Kid saved Liz and Patty. A look that resembled pity started to form on her face. "Look Lilith your parents were idiots that didn't recognize a gift when they saw one. My job is to look after all of you that includes you and your friend Ouroborus. I don't know what you two have endured and I don't know a lot of magic users to assess how things are in your world but I won't try to say that I understand what you went through when I don't. Just know that you can rest easy because as long as you are in my care I won't abandon you." Lilith look quite surprised by Maka and she felt a warmth grow in her chest that she hadn't felt in a long time and she felt that she could trust this woman. "Goodnight Mrs Maka and I hope that you sleep well, also I'm not short I'm still growing while your just old you Grey Haired Bat!" yelled Lilith as she ran to her cabin. Maka just smiled as this moment reminded her about why she loved being a teacher. Helping those kids that needed the extra push or motivation. Being a pillar for those that were on there own and were struggling to stand.
Unknown location
"My lord Scorpio we found it." A large man sat up from what looked like a throne surrounded by massive scorpions that moved out of his way as he came to inspect what his followers had brought. His body very well tanned and he was built like a rock with well toned muscles from years of training, battle and the use of enhancement magic. A viscous smirk formed on his face as he looked at what his followers had brought him. Fire seemed to erupt all around yet it didn't touch anyone as he started to laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! With this my dear sister Yabba will finally fall and not even Death will be able to stand against me, even that pain of a dragon witch will fall before me." As Scorpio continued his terrifying laugh that seemed to shake the cavern they were all in it attracted the rest of his followers that had returned from missions he had sent them out on. As Scorpio's fire lit up the cavern the object that had been brought in become more visible and his followers understood why he was so happy and confident. Lying before the master of fire and spacial manipulation magic was the body of Asura. However when Scorpio finally finished laughing he warned his fellow rogues to be careful when handling the body as it still contained a massive amount of madness within and that it could still effect them.
"Soon we will finish what we began ages ago, we'll finally conquer the DWMA and Death and witches will finally be the ones in charge!" Soon the carven was filled with chanting "SCORPIO, SCORPIO, SCORPIO, SCORPIO!" and "DOWN WITH YABBA AND DEATH, DOWN WITH YABBA AND DEATH, DOWN WITH YABBA AND DEATH!" However due to all the celebrating nobody noticed the broken and battered body of Asura start to twitch as it started a very slow process of healing due to it being in the presence of such a large amount of magic, hatred, sadness and madness.
