AN: Hey everybody, welcome back to more The More Things Change. The last time this was updated, I believe 2 weeks ago, we saw Lilith's Weapon form as well as her and Eamonn beat up a Kishin larger than Godzilla. Sorry for not updating 2 weeks ago, was trying to get the entire thing outline for this done, which I did, then I got lots of homework taking away from the mood, despite being able to update my other fics often, it was just I got swamped on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But I am back for an exciting chapter.

Lilith: That's right, and thank you all who voted on the poll on Ed' profile. It really helps him out a lot on this.

Eamonn: And it also allows a basis of what you guys like in a story.

Me: Unfortunately I'm not that skilled as to see that so I'll just keep writing, hope I don't make any OC's too OOC, and hope you guys enjoy it. And there's not really anything else to put here, so I just want to know: Do you guys really think I'm a good writer? I'm kind of going through a down in my life concerning my writings and the idea of this stuff not being very good is kind of worrying me a lot. I just need to hear your honest opinions. If you don't want to say anything, I respect that.

Eamonn: And you thought it was stupid when I told you about my idea for the plot.

Me: A giant cheese monster destroying the school and nothing else is not a good plot.

Lilith: What about my idea though?

Me: You're plot of a romance story is not what I'm looking for. If something is just romance, it's not very good, for me at least. Anyone else it could work for. But action with some romance in it with mostly action though, that is kind of my style. What can I say; I'm a sap for romance when tons of action is involved. Take the Transformers movies for instance as well as that movie, RED I believe, with the retired CIA agent who are being hunted. They both were full of action but involved some romance in it. And also, who can say no to explosions, I mean come on. They're just awesome am I right?

Lilith: -_- (I'm trying to figure out emoticons so forgive me for using this a lot) I'm starting the chapter without you.

Chapter 7

*Cave with a table in the middle surrounded by 7 shadowy figures, none able to be made out*

The shadowy figures sat around the wooden table, waiting for someone to say something first. Figure 1(this is how we'll keep track of them) spoke up. "So, how did the king and queen do?" They asked Figure 5, who just looked at him and sounded like he was smirking.

"They are weaker than we thought. They castled to protect each other." He pulled out a smoke from somewhere on his person and lit it. Figure 6 grabbed it as soon as it was lit and crushed it on the ground.

"That causes cancer you know," they said. Figure 5 gave them a cold look but then just stared back to Figure 1. Figure 3 was the next to speak.

"May we please get back on topic here, we need to figure out our next move," they said as the other figures nodded. Figure 2 stood up and stretched before sitting back down and Figure 4 just put his head on the table and fell asleep. "What say you two?" Figure 3 asked 2 and 4.

Figure 2 looked up; ready to make his remark when Figure 4 spoke up instead. "Well, I think we should just go ahead and take send our new 'pawns' over to DWMA to see how they fair against our targets," they said spinning a black ball the size of a bowling ball in his hand. Figure 2 nodded and leaned back, putting their feet onto the table. Figure 1 nodded in agreement.

"Very well. I believe that we have our next objective so I say we dismiss now," they said as slowly they began to fade out. "And remember: Chaos and Madness will always give us his strength." And with that the figures all disappeared.

*Lilith POV*

We finally entered the class room as I saw my friends all clumped together on the other side of the room. Currently, the only people over there were only Sora, Daisuke, Hikari, Rage, Ayako, and Luka. I was confused on why they were the only ones here. Ayako didn't even have KIT with her. Eamonn was dragged into the classroom behind me. He was being unusually nervous. It was odd considering he was usually calm and mean. I can't really explain it, but it made me feel like I was able to melt a block of ice around his true personality.

"Hey guys, sorry about keeping you up, I had to actually drag this guy here," I said as Eamonn turned around and didn't meet their gazes. They all looked confused at his change in personality, but I continued anyway. "Hey Ayako, where's KIT?" She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at me.

"He left this morning when I was asleep, leaving a paw print on a piece of paper so I knew he'd be out. He'll probably be back by noon if I know him," she said sounding half convinced. Sora was the next person to snap out of his thoughts.

"So, I see that you guys are still sticking together," he said with a kind of calm expression, but it held an extremely small amount of anger in his face. I nodded and held up my right hand, the watch still on it.

"Isn't it against school policy to have students use a training tool longer than they're supposed to?" Daisuke said snapping out as well. Hikari and Rage also snapped out simultaneously, while Luka hadn't even paid attention to the fact Eamonn's personality was different. She put in her two cents.

"While that may be, they need to grow closer to each other still to sharpen their skills to maximum proportions. So a little bending of the rules should be allowed," she said, yawning as she did so. I was pretty sure she was going to sleep again, like every day. Daisuke shot her a glance.

"Rules are meant to be followed, not broken or bent. You of all people should know that it isn't wise to bend/break them," he said with annoyance in his voice. It always surprised me how he was such a stick in the mud in school, even if we're not having class, and a fun loving guy after we left the school grounds. Luka shot him an annoyed look.

"You trying to start something Daisuke?" She asked. Daisuke looked around trying to see if there were any staff members around. I looked around as well, but I couldn't see any.

"There's not a staff member to oversee this fight, so no, I'm not trying to start something."As I said, a stick in the mud. "So if you want to have this settled, how about we wait until class is over and we can have a staff oversee the fight. So just wait until then 'Little' Luka." He was purposely trying to get her to start a fight. She seemed to notice this and just let it pass.

"Whatever, I'm too tired for this right now. But for now," she pulled out a thick book from her backpack. "LUKA CHOP!" She slammed the book right down on Daisuke's head and he fell over unconscious, blood dripping down his face. Sora just sighed.

"I'll take him to the nurses office. You mind telling Maka-sensei about this Lilith?" He asked me. I nodded and Ayako helped Sora move Daisuke to the nurses office.

Luka went up to her seat and decided to take a nap, since she was kind of tired, leaving me with Hikari and Rage. Rage didn't look too happy at what he saw. "So, what's the bastard of a man doing anyway? It looks like he's cowering or something. Did he nearly kill you and is afraid of what we'll do to him for that?" I hadn't seen Rage this, enraged (pardon the unintentional pun there) in the time I had known him. Hikari didn't look like she'd seen him this angry either. Eamonn took a step back at the harsh words shot at him and muttered something. "What was that you son of a bitch? You got something to say then say it, don't mumble to yourself."

Eamonn looked up, a barely noticeable blush on his face. "I said that's not what happened. I apologize for looking down on Lilith, she's powerful and kind. Plus she can hold her own if I'm not there. Or if needed, we can double team the enemy. I truly am sorry and I'll take any punishment you have for me," he said quietly as he looked down at the floor again. What had happened to make him this shy? Hikari was the next to speak up.

"Um, it's OK. As long as you learned your lesson you're fine," she said almost questioningly. I heard the door open and turned to see Fay and Nicole walk into the room and take their seats as the bell was about to ring. We all got into our seats and saw that when Maka-sensei came in, she sat down at her desk and just sat there. After that Kitsune-sensei, Archibald-sensei and a new person walked into the room, followed by Soul-sensei and Stein-sensei. The new person had strait, mid-back length black hair with streaks of ice blue and blood red, stood at 5' 4" and was wearing a tight-fitting blue shirt with falling star designs and hip-hugger black jeans to show off the curvy body she had and size 36dd breasts. Her skin was a light tan color.

She stepped in front of Maka-sensei's desk as the others stood next to it. She looked us all over before starting. "Hello, my name is Crystal Starfall, the teacher of Witch Fighting. I was assigned here since today the entire staff here is to talk to you and demonstrate something about Weapons. Archibald, would you like to?" She asked in a calm voice. Archibald nodded and the two of them switched places.

"As you know there are different types of weapon such as Gun, Scythe, Sword, Shadow, and other varying types. It is rare for some people to gain a second type of form other than Soul Resonance to occur in a normal Weapon, but if one has a strong enough 'Soul', then the number of Weapons they can become is unknown and what we call a Shadow type Weapon, such as Tsubaki," he said slow enough that we could take notes over this. He continued soon after though. "But it is even more rare for some Weapons to gain an elemental property. Ox and Kim were very good at using these types of weapons. But what really is important to notice is the properties of your Weapon partner. If you would be so kind to demonstrate Kitsune and Stein." The two of them nodded as Kitsune became her weapon form. She became a gauntlet that belted and stitched itself to Stein's arm. It went up to the elbow and was ebony colored. The hand looked more like a large bony hand with the fingers and hand elongated. The finger ends looked like knives and were a greenish silver. The top of each finger had a vein that traces back to a yellow eye in the center of the hand the size of a baseball. "You'd think this is just a Claw type form, but in actuality," the claw began to change shape, the fingers merging together into something that looked like a blade almost. "It can change shape, so it's not always what type a weapon is, rather if you know how to work with your partner, than you can easily figure out the characteristics of their soul." Kitsune changed back to her human form and gave a respectful glance at Stein as the two walked back to their original position.

"But not only can this change the shape, if utilized correctly, the Meister can even unlock a power deep within the Weapon's Soul that would otherwise be locked away," Crystal said as she stepped back to where she was before. "And with that lesson out of the way, I'd like to give you some advice if you run into a witch in the near future," she walked over to the chalk board and began writing facts.

*Outside DWMA, Third POV*

5 figures walked up the steps of DWMA, well 4 walked one flew, and looked at it. 4 humanoid shaped dolls came up behind them. "Well, it seems that we'll get to have a jump on whoever it is they want us to destroy," one of the figures, a woman with a hood over her head said. A second female in the group with crow-style chestnut hair, wearing a tight, white, sleeveless shirt, and tight blue jeans as well as a pair of large brown gloves covering up to her mid forearms simply scoffed at the woman.

"I don't care about any of that stuff. As long as my 800 year bloodlust can be satisfied, I'll be fine," she said smiling during the entire sentence. The flying person made an annoyed face that had his mouth in an upside down V at the comment.

"Noah-sama wanted her dead, and before he died I promised him just that, so I won't let you be the one to kill her," he said while making the same face. The other female shot him an annoyed look and was about to say something when a man in a suit with sleeked back black hair intervened.

"Settle this later, we need to get them out before we can go on with the plan," he said quite calmly. "Honestly, if I was in my form from 100 years before this time I'd beat the both of you up now," he said. The last human figure smiled as a thought came to him. He was wearing a prisoners uniform and had a ball and chain around his left foot.

"Well then, we better get them out then, huh?" He said as ice formed around the ball. He prepared to swing it at the school walls. "Let's see how they react after this," he said as he swung his leg, breaking the wall as the ice ball broke through. Alarms started blaring and they all stood and waited for their targets to arrive.

AN: And that's the update for this week. Sorry it's mostly dialogue and that I left it at a kind of cliffhanger. I really had more planned, but the story was reaching 2000 words and whenever I get past that I usually write up to 4000 words on accident. So, what did you guys think? Bad, terrible, or good? If it's not my best I understand. So, with that, I believe, well wait, is there anything else?

Lilith: Only that they can guess who the 5 figures are.

Eamonn: Yeah, they're all from the original series and 2 of them should be obvious, one not so much because of a late chapter in the manga involving him becoming a girl, and another that kind of can be obvious if you've read the manga up to the Battle for Brew. Depending on how far you are you might want to look them up. They're names will be put up next week, but before I do that I have something to do. I still need to search up the anime and find the differences in it from the anime since I heard the anime ended before the manga did. Is that true?

Me: That's what I heard as well Eamonn. And before I forget, the schedule is changed. This shall now be updated only on Fridays so I have enough time to actually work on this, and to fill the Wednesday slot, I'll be posting a Katekyo Hitman Reborn! fic. I had the OC form up but something happened on the site and I had to take the entire thing taken down, so I'll see my luck this week and see if I can get more on it done. Plot for it is finished and I've completed the OC for it and I've already got 1 OC for it. I really hope to read some reviews from you guys on it. But with that out of the way.

Lilith: It is time to say good bye and next time we'll have a fight series of chapters and in the end a borrowed OC will make an appearance as well as a borrowed idea for the next arc. So until the next time, Eamonn will say his lines.

Eamonn: I've actually grown to like these lines so, here we go. You know the drill of reading and reviewing so please do so. We will see you later. So until then, ciaossu.
