A/N: So, my first chapter got good reception from a group of friends of mine so I decided to write the second one, this will cover the party in its entirety.
This isn't what I predicted... Medusa thought to herself as she scowled at Marisa, Reimu, Alice, and Yukari. After the guests' arrival there had been a lot of commotion, especially concerning Alice and Marisa. Lord Death had given Alice his word that no one would try to kill her for her soul, especially after suffering an intense glare from Marisa.
"Hiya hiya! Thanks for coming I greatly appreciate your effort!" Lord Death announced with a raised hand, the crowd responded with great glee and happiness, "Look it's Lord Death!" "This party's going to be great!"
"Well, that's it for me, enjoy yourselves!" Kid sighed internally at his father's words, Father's not taking this seriously, Kid thought as he cleared his throat to say some words of his own.
"If I may, thank you all for coming, tonight we celebrate the opening to the DWMA and we-" "YAHHOOO IT'S ME BLACKSTAR!" "We welcome you to this party despite your possible time constraints-" "LOOK AT ME EVERYONE IT'S THE GREAT BLACKSTAR!"
Yukari let out an exasperated sigh and opened a gap above Blackstar and Kid and promptly slammed their heads with her closed parasol and fan. The result was both of them falling to the ground in a groan of pain. Kid curled up on the floor and whimpered, "It's ruined..."
Blackstar looked back at Yukari with a grumble as he adjusted his coat while walking back with Soul, "Whose party does she think this is anyway?" Soul promptly responded, "You do realize it's not yours right?"
"Well, in any case enjoy yourselves as much as you like," Lord Death said in an effort to get everything back on track. After having said that, the party began, music began playing, people began dancing, and checking out the buffet that had been prepared.
Yukari remained close to Lord Death, aside from his son, she was one of the few who was close to him personally so it only made sense to distance herself from the party, despite wanting to engage in her daily drinking routine when it came to parties.
"Yoo Reimu let's dance, ze!" Marisa grabbed Reimu's wrist forcefully and began her rather lackluster imitation of everyone else slow dancing, "You do realize you've stepped on my feet three times by now right?" Reimu said as she grumbled in displeasure from Marisa forcing a dance on her.
"Keheheh," Marisa replied in a mock-cackle, "You're having fun though aren't you?"
"I guess, it's needing sake."
"Most people here are kids, ze. You're just looking for a reason to cry about the total you got from donations this year," Reimu promptly whacked Marisa over the head with a dangerous tone in her voice.
"Never mention my donations in public again."
"Yea yea...didn't have to hit me though..."
Meanwhile, outside of the school and in the city streets, Eruka, the Frog Witch and Free, the immortal werewolf were staring ominously at the school from below. Eruka was unnerved after sensing Alice's soul.
"Lady Medusa, we're ready, but what about the other witch?" Eruka communicated to Medusa through the snakes inside her body.
"Don't worry about her, by the time her and her friends know what's happening the plan will have already been put in motion."
"Understood Lady Medusa,"
"Did you recruit the help?"
"Yea, Chrona, or rather Ragnarok, is leading them here as we speak,"
"Good job Eruka, wait for my signal and we'll begin."
Medusa allowed a quiet chuckle to escape her lips just as professor Stein approached her and clinked his glass with hers, "Good evening nurse Medusa, having fun?"
This moron again... "Oh of course, are you alright professor? You seem a bit drunk," Medusa said as she had a nervous smile on her face.
"Oh I must be I'm sorry," Stein said as he gulped down the champagne in his glass, suddenly he let out a drunken laugh, which caused Medusa to take a few steps back, "Come, let's dance!"
Someone help me! Medusa pleaded in her head as she was led away by Stein, "No, I mean, wait, I can't!"
Before Medusa knew what was happening she was slow dancing with the professor, I can't let Eruka and Free see me like this, nor can I give the signal in this position...
Marisa glanced at Stein and Medusa then chuckled lowly under her breath while she spun Reimu around, "See, ze?" Marisa said as she pulled Reimu close to her, "We should be dancing like them, all romantic-like. I can be your strong, strapping husband while you're the innocent newly-married wife!"
"I don't think you'd ever be someone's husband," Reimu replied coldly, "Much less mine," the response suddenly reduced Marisa to the floor with a whine.
"Why do you have to be so cold and reject my feelings?" Marisa looked up at Reimu with faux tears in her eyes.
"You've had too much champagne..." Reimu trailed off as she rubbed her temples.
"So Medusa, have you heard back from Sid? He hasn't returned after checking out a lab in the desert," Stein said quizzically as he slowly danced around the room with Medusa.
"Huh? No, has something happened to him?" Medusa asked as she feigned ignorance.
"That's odd, because who did that lab belong to? Let's see, oh that's right it was your lab," Stein looked down at her as his voice became stone-cold sober in a millisecond.
Medusa scowled and looked down, Damn him... "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Come now, surely there must be a reason for a witch like you to be here at the DWMA," Stein said as he kept looking down at her, "there's no reason to hide your identity anymore, I found you out. Now the question is why are you here? Surely one such as yourself wouldn't be helping out of the goodness of your heart. Is it the Kishin? It makes sense after all."
Medusa looked up at Stein with a distorted sneer mixed with a grin, "You're right I'm here for the Kishin," she said as she kept eye contact with him, "if Lord Death wasn't here right now I'd have killed you already."
"I'll cut you up after dissecting you, but don't be so modest, you need to take care of the barrier don't you?"
"Exactly, I plan to resurrect it."
"And the black blood will help you..."
"The Kishin far exceeds human comprehension, even evolution itself. Everyone, even the DWMA, have observed and protected the Earth with your deterrent "force"..."Maintaining a neutral status" is the best way to describe it. But each generation improves, that kind of idea won't last long, correct? Living through the same kind of life every day, is that what you really want doctor Stein? You're a researcher, you know what I mean don't you? What do you say? Want to join me?"
Stein was speechless, and before he knew it Medusa was leaning up to him, her lips moving in to kiss his.
"Stein!" Sid had burst into the party room completely bloody from barely surviving his ordeal, "You have to get out of here!"
Everyone turned their attention to Sid, Marisa promptly dropped Reimu onto the floor, Alice looked up from her food, Yukari narrowed her eyes at him, Soul, Maka, Tsubaki, and Blackstar all looked at him with wide eyes, "Mr. Sid!"
Stein ran over to him and held him up slightly, "Are you alright?"
"I dove under ground when the explosions happened...still...they were waiting to attack tonight because Lord Death has left his mirror!"
Surprised, Stein turned around, "Where's Medusa?!"
Medusa had made her way to the balcony and leaped up on the railing and flipped off and had deactivated her soul protect spell, "Free, the barrier! Quickly, lock them all in!"
Free the werewolf released his soul protect and grinned maliciously, "Got it Medusa," he outstretched hid hands to his side and began to chant his spell.
"Good, now we wait for the mi-" Medusa was cut off by a flurry of green lasers, one grazed her shoulder which caused her to wince in pain. She looked at the source of the lasers and spotted Marisa riding on her broom out into the sky above the city. Two glowing green orbs floated on either side of her as a grin creased her lips.
"Betcha forgot about me didn't you?" Marisa said with arrogance in her voice as she fired more lasers at Medusa.
"Fortunately I found it quite easy to forget about someone like you," Medusa replied to hide the surprise in her voice, She's human, definitely, so how is she using magic of this level...?
"Bah, well after I'm done with you you won't be forgetting my name, Marisa Kirisame!" Suddenly, as Marisa was pulling out her Mini-Hakkero, several white blurs flew passed behind her. She looked up and noticed her signature hat had been cut apart in three places, "Hey! That was my favorite hat!"
She turned and spotted the five Mizune sisters with smug grins on their faces and their whiskers were all extended and glowing purple, "Chi chi chi," Was their response as they flew off into the city to begin wreaking havoc.
"I don't know what that meant but I didn't like it," Marisa said as she took off after the Mice Witches, "Get back here!"
"That was...surprisingly easy," Medusa said with a rather surprised voice. She sighed and turned to Eruka, Free, and Chrona, "let's get underground where our goal is the Kishin!"
Stein, Maka, Soul, Blackstar, Kid, Patty, Liz, Tsubaki, and Alice all fell out of the ceiling after having been dropped down into the school by either Sid or Yukari, "The meisters landed on their feet but the weapons didn't," Soul observed as he stood up, "I guess we're really different after all."
"Listen up everybody, underneath the school, sleeps a Kishin," Stein declared as he adjusted his glasses, "and you should know that nurse Medusa is actually a witch," Stein turned to Alice who was slipping metal rings onto all of her fingers, "you won't have an issue with fighting her will you?" The girl promptly shook her head, "Good."
Everyone changed out of their party attire and into their normal clothes as Stein spoke up again, "You all may die tonight, if you're ready, we'll go underground, if you're not willing to risk your lives then head home now."
No one moved, they just looked at Stein with determination in their eyes. Stein smiled, "Good, then let's get going."
A/N: And that's chapter 2 for you all, rate and review if you'd like!
