The Reaper Witch chapter 8
(Disclaimer I don't own soul eater and I am not making any money from writing this fanfiction. I just had an idea and I hope that you all enjoy this chapter. I struggled a bit with this chapter so I hope that you all appreciate the effort that I and all other fanfiction writers put into our stories)
3 days earlier to Maka's group finding the Kishin egg
Ouroborus just sighed as she and Death cleaned out another abandoned rouge witch hideout. It had been like this for a while. Most of the hidden bases, bunkers and hideouts had been abandoned or ransacked with very little left behind to tell what had happened and if anything had been taken. However something seemed different about this base. It didn't look as if it had been ransacked and it looked as if had only been abandoned recently.
"Lord Death I think we found something!" Ouroborus cringed as weapon Patty yelled out and ripped her out of her thoughts. Liz, Ouroborus and Death quickly headed to Patty who seemed to be jumping in excitement and yelling out. "I found a hidden door! I found a hidden door!" Liz quickly shut her sister up by smacking her over the head as she quickly got annoyed by her sister's antics.
As the two sisters started arguing Death and Ouroborus entered the hidden room and were deeply shocked by what they saw. All around the room was notes on studies and experiments done on kishen eggs and the absorbing and transferring of madness. As they continued to look around and look through the notes that they found Ouroborus almost collapsed as she felt her strength leave her. Lying prone on a stone table was the body of a young witch but she looked in bad shape. She also looked as she was half transformed into a kishin egg. Death quickly read over the notes detailing the experiments done on the young witch and was thoroughly disgusted by what he read.
The witch before them had been tortured and experimented for weeks. Magic energy had been ripped from her body and replaced with madness from captured kishen eggs. She had also been forced to cast chaos magic and transfer her magic into the kishin eggs. "This is just monsterous, attacking me and my supporters I can understand but to be able to do this to your own brethren. They have lost all their humanity, they may as well be kishin!"
Death continued reading but stopped to look around and see how the rest of the group was doing. Liz and Patty looked as if they had recovered well and were already packing up the notes for further study back at the academy and packing out explosives to blow the lab to kingdom come. Ouroborus also looked as if she had recovered but was deep in thought and a bit pale still.
As Death continued looking through the notes and journals he found a book that showed co-ordinates to other labs and suddenly came to a realisation that terrified him. (These rougues are getting organized which should be impossible due to the massive amount of madness that would form from them gathering. It would take a being with incredible will power and a massive amount of strength and magic….OH NO)
"I see you've come to the same horrible conclusion as me Death." While Liz and Patty didn't really know what was being spoken about they could tell it was bad by the expression on the dragon witch's face. "Uh… excuse me but could you please tell us what you have discovered please?" Asked a nervous Patty as she seemed to be trying to play with her hair as even though she and her sister had gone through extensive extra training and studying she had no idea what was going on and she felt a bit embarrassed about her lack of knowledge.
Death just chuckled a bit and scratched the back of his head as Ouroborus glared at Death for not teaching his students and death scythes more about the old times of ancient power. "Let me explain ladies as it seems that the great Lord Death is too inept to teach." It was very easy for everyone present to hear the disdain she held for Death in her voice.
"Ladies what we are facing may well be something worse than even the kishin Asura." Before she could continue however Ouroborus was interrupted by Patty. "Wait but I thought that the kishin was the most powerful enemy out there?" Ouroborus paused for a moment so as to make sure she wouldn't be interrupted again. "Young lady while it is true that Asura is the most powerful being known to date that doesn't mean he is the most dangerous. You see even with all that power he was a coward at heart and his mind was always clouded with madness so he couldn't make rational decisions and that made him vulnerable. Unfortunately what we are facing is a warlock. A warlock is a male born witch, they have much greater magic reserves, they can cast spells faster than most witches and cast more powerful spells to but the thing that makes them the most dangerous is that it takes a large amount of madness to affect them and low level amounts actually make them stronger." Both Liz and Patty could tell that Ouroborus was actually a bit scared with the way she talked about these warlocks.
As Ouroborus took a moment to catch her breath and centre herself Death continued for her. "The main issue girls, is that the majority of known warlocks were killed off after the great witch rebellion of my father's tenure as Lord Death and head master of DWMA. The ones that were left were strictly monitored and eliminated if necessary. Most witches these days just take potions to insure that they give birth to females and unfortunately for us the last known warlock birth was the twin brother of Yabba."
Death actually sounded tired as he finished off the explanation and Liz and Patty couldn't believe that the Head witch had a brother and that they would most likely have to fight her brother. "Death as much as it pains me we will need to work together on this. We will need to call a meeting of all the leaders of the supernatural so that we can set up a proper plan of attack." Death agreed with Ouroborus's assessment of what was needed to be done. Ouroborus left using a teleport spell so that she could go talk to Yabba and make all the necessary arrangements needed to set up the meeting.
"Liz, Patty could you please go out and call the car? I'll be out in a minute I just want to give this place one last look before we leave." The girls paused for a moment and looked as if they wanted to stay and help but they decided to carry the last of the boxes out and call and wait for Death's car. "Ok sir will do." As the girls left Patty closed the door behind her and Death saw a desk that they hadn't seen as it had been hidden by the open door. On it he noticed a book with a scorpion image on the cover and knew it was important. As he read through the first page he was shocked at what he read. {Journal entry 1– as things look now I'm pleased with the rate at which we are getting results from our experiments. However what makes me a bit angry is how we can't recreate the spell I saw the dragon witch cast 15 years ago. We can't replicate the results of her magic ability to manipulate soul energy, magic energy manipulation and creation, matter manipulation, chaos manipulation and binding powers. I'm not even sure what she used as a catalyst so that she wouldn't fall to the madness that such a complicated spell however with the magic I was able to syphon from the air from where she cast the spell I was able to get the gist of what was needed to be done. Unfortunately if not for that dam dragon witch it would have taken me and my army years longer to reach the point at which we are now.}
Death quickly hid the journal away in his cloak and left the lab activating the explosive device. As the car drove off and the lab was blown to hell Death quickly gave the girls some orders so that he could have some time to think for himself. "Girls I need you to call ahead and have teams assembled to hunt down the rest of the labs and call back all the death scythes that are on active missions and have them come back to the academy." From the way his voice sounded the girls knew that something was up but they knew that they had to do their jobs first.
(So she did have something to do with Kid's disappearance all those years ago. At first I thought I was just seeing things that were convenient but now I have actual proof that she was involved. The problem is that Ouroborus is a very stubborn person so I'll need leverage if I want her to tell me what happened to my son and where he is now. As much as it pains me I'm going to have to have Maka initiate plan B. I know that you won't like it but you're going to have to kidnap Tiamat, Ouroborus's daughter. It's a dirty move but I need to know what happened to Kid, to my son)
Back to present time (Inside Tiamat's head)
Tiamat didn't know why but she felt like her head was going to explode and the arguing she heard was helping at all. "Well done, well done you not only almost killed us but you also got us lost in warp space, congratulations oh king of madness and stupidity" Tiamat could hear the sarcasm that heavily coated the one man's voice but then she realised something. She didn't know either persons voice which meant that she was separated from her team.
"Well I don't see you doing anything to help the situation, heck if it wasn't for me you wouldn't even have a comfortable place to stay in here. Look if I hadn't done what I did we would defiantly be dead not almost dead." "That doesn't make it okay, it just means that we were both idiots that couldn't come up with an actually helpful plan." "Look we can't keep arguing like this. We need to come up with a plan to fix our current situation and make sure that our host isn't killed when we exit warp."
As the two people arguing seemed to calm down Tiamat's headache seemed to have weakened enough for her to sit up and open her eyes and she could see the two people that had been arguing. One looked like he was in a strait jacket and loosely and the other was a young man in a well-made suit. (Well they seem like an odd pair of friends but maybe they can help me) "Um excuse me sirs but could I please as for your help in finding my team?"
Both men froze and turned in Tiamat's direction and seemed to freeze up for a moment. The one wrapped in bandages seemed to be pinching him-self before punching himself in the gut as if to see if he was dreaming, while the other just seemed to stare at her for a bit before speaking. "Well #$ #$%^&!?" After both men's short freak out they seemed to calm down before gesturing to her to follow them.
Witches realm original estate of the dragon witch clan 3 days before warp
"Hahahahahahahahahaha I've finely found it and soon all the secrets that the Ouroborus and her family hid that the dragons taught them before their extinction will be mine." Scorpio motioned for one of the witches to come forward. "Yes sir, how can I help?" Scorpio smiled at the power and obedience he commanded. "Point the cage in the direction of the vault and then let Asura's body loose. I can't use it in the way I want to just yet but soon I will knowledge I will get from the vast knowledge of dragon magic."
Scorpio just smiled and started laughing as he saw Asura's body easily bypass the defences that had been put in place to guard the knowledge stored there. He quickly cast a special rift spell to place the body of madness back in the cage he had created for it before he destroyed the hidden library and sent the witches he had brought with him to pack up the books so that they could be studied in length back at their base. Soon Yabba nothing will stand in my way. I will be the uncontested ruler of the world once I'm finished and I will be worshiped by all. No longer will I live in your shadow and fear for my life. I will finally be free and I will be the one in charge."
