Chapter 04: Warriors of Death

Soul had stayed to guard Sid, he didn't know if the invisible man would come back to try and finish the job or if there was someone else. He couldn't leave Sid there with a hole in his chest. Luckily Nygus arrived quick enough and they started to patch him up.

Nygus wrapped the bandages around Sid, "Soul, go to Maka."

"What?" The entire hall shook again.

Nygus continued, "Soul, I've got this. Knowing Maka she's already running towards the cause of this mess, she's going to need her partner."

Soul looked and smiled, "Thanks."

Without another word he rushed towards the danger and his stubborn meister.

Nygus sighed to herself, "Another minute he'd probably run off to her anyway."

Things were not going well for the Black knight, Kami's daughters were now both armed and ready to fight.

Maka Albarn was wielding her father, the death scythe forged by her mother.

Eucliwood Hellscythe was using the chainsaw of a magical garment girl, which helped control her powers and boost her abilities.

Also they were just wielding a scythe and a chainsaw, that isn't exactly a situation anyone want to find themselves in.

Both girls charged at him, energy crackling off the scythe's blade as it grew larger and the chainsaw reeved up. Both girls rushed and charged ready to cut him down.

The knight did something they hadn't expected, he slide the sword into a scabbard. He had another sword behind him but he didn't pull it out. The knight opened up his arms almost daring them to attack them, they were close enough that even if they wanted to stop they couldn't stop the momentum.

But they did stop, the instant they reached their targets they found themselves stopping. Their weapons were stopped mid-air. One of the knight hands caught the saw, the blade stopped spinning as his fingers held it in place. The other hand grabbed the scythe blade and his fingers wrapped around it.

Spirit gulped, "Okay, don't think I've seen someone do that before."

With a swift movement both girls found their weapons leading them along and moving them towards each other, and with one great wallop they collided.

They girls were stunned for a moment and the Black Knight took the moment to verify something. He pulled out a pair of stones, one held a heart symbol and glowed as it neared Eu. The other one held a white flame symbol but didn't do anything as it was waved over Maka.

"She was right, you might share the blood but you've steered away from the same path. You are of no use to us but a sacrifice to make your mother ready."

"You think I'd-" Maka started off but was cut mid sentence as the knight wrapped his hands around the girl's neck.

"Maka!" Spirit yelled out.

He was about to transform to try and do something when he found Maka's hand wrap around him, signalling him to stop.

If he transformed he'd be less that useless and he'd probably get himself killed. Maka paused as she tried and remain calm.

Maka grinned at the knight.

"Let them go!"

The knight looked up just in time to see Black Star bring down a sword on his head followed up by a rather strong kick hurling him away.

The Black Knight growled as he looked at Black Star holding the enchanted sword, black markings wrapping around the assassin's body.

Maka chuckled, she saw Black Star's soul rushing at them.

Maka grinned, she might have just become a sister with Eu joining the family she still had sort of was mature, kind, sweet, and supportive., Tsubaki was always there to support or give her kind words.

As for Black Star…. well, they had grown up together.

Maka would never admit it to him but she knew in his own way cared for her and was protective about her.

She knew she could count on them despite how often she and Black Star would bicker sometimes.

Maka moved to Eu's side, "Are you okay?"

Eu gave her a small nod before looking up at her.

"Don't worry I'm fine."

Maka gave her a small smile, she'd started to figure out her mother's and Eu's short hand. Though Eu's expression didn't really change she'd gotten a sense about Eu and just started to figure out what she meant.

Spindly shadow like hands leapt off the floor and wrapped themselves around the knight. The Stick figure like shadows held him as they stretched out Black Star's shadow.

"You're gonna pay for that."

"Leave now," The Knight's voice bellowed, "You are not apart of this, there is no need for me to strike you down."

Black Star smirked, "First of all, you can't strike me down." Black Star almost laughed at the thought, "And you made me apart of this when you attacked them."

"Too late,"

Black Star followed the Black Knight's eye sight to the girls and he could just make out the sound of an arrow whizzing.

There was a crack and an arrow splittered mid air.

A silvery blade hung over the sisters, both of them turned around confused. Will held the blade as the broken arrow laid on the ground.

"Sniper." Will said her voice harsh and quiet.

They looked to where a bow man readied another arrow. In mere seconds another arrow flew towards them and was quickly cut through the air by the red haired meister. The bowman unwilling to give up fired another arrow and another.

With a few quick swipes the arrows were cut down.

As they fell to the ground Maka looked at the arrows perfectly cut through the center.

Will now on full serious mode looked at the bow man, "I'll take care of him."

Will leapt into the air onto the nearest ledge and then jumped again moving up towards the attacker.

"Whose she?" Maka asked.

Black Star shrugged, "New kid?"

Black Star jumped back as the knight lunged and swung down his blade at him.

0000

Will leapt around on the spikes and ledges of the school moving towards the archer.

The archer had turned from Maka and the others to the red haired meister making her way towards him.

He let lose another arrow and it quickly was cut in half by her blade, the arrow pieces moved around her as she continued on.

Fail-Not was a bow that let anyone have perfect aim, that didn't help if someone did something to the arrow before it hit its target.

The bowman started to panic firing as quickly as he could trying to land a single attack. With each failure she got closer and his panic grew more so.

The bowman reached for another arrow but found he was out of them. The plan was just for him to strike down the god of wisdom, they used the extra arrows to take down their opponents here.

They never expected the red hair warrior.

She landed on the roof and a voice came from her sword, "Switch."

With a flash of light the sisters switched, Niko held a large sword her eyes burning into the bowman. "You attacked my family, I don't take lightly."

She raised her sword and swung down on him.

0000

Tsubaki hissed as she came into contact with the Black Knight's sword.

It forced Black Star to parry the blade instead of attack head on.

Eu slid a note to Maka.

"Ah, guys, Eu says that sword is called the Witch Hunter. Its power is to disrupt magic."

"Witch Hunter? Like that attack your mom made?" Black Star asked but couldn't follow up on it

Maka read another note from Eu, "Maybe, Eu says that mom was close to the knight who owned the sword. But the main point is that it might actually be able to hurt a demon weapon if it lands a strong hit. The sword was origional made to kill witches."

"Tsubaki?" Black Star asked

"I'm fine," Tsubaki told him, it wasn't a lie but it did sting every time she made contact with the sword. It felt like one good swing from it would crack her apart.

Black Star Could tell, "Tsubaki, stay here and keep and eye on Maka and Eu."

"Black Star?" Tsubaki started only to find herself being hurled at Maka who barely caught the blade. Tsubaki quickly transformed.

Black Star cracked his neck, glared at the knight, "You hurt Tsubaki, you're not walking away from this."

0000

Mordred clenched his teeth as he found himself slammed against a wall. Stein fiddled with his screw.

Mordred was pissed, Stein was holding back, just toying with him, probably waiting for others to show up drag him back to his dungeon. Mordred was a knight of the round table, son of Morgan La Fey, the knight that killed Arthur, a figure whose name was in the midst of legend and yet this man was not taking him seriously.

Mordred felt he deserved respect even from an enemy. He didn't have time to waste, the man who freed him only had enough time to inform him of the barest of what was happening. He had an escape route all he had to do is get to the front of the school. He didn't have time for a prolounged fight, that's what Stein wanted to assure he couldn't escape. Stein knew well enough that Mordred could be trouble, if he went out he could probably win but also give Mordred a chance to escape or land a good blow. Stein decided just to keep him on his toes and stay on defense and wear him out, making sure to close out his escape route. Besides if he was connected to what was happening they'd need him conscious.

"Stein!"

A voice called down from the hall and instintively turned to see Marie and the other weapons rushing down the halls.

"Get back!" Stein warned, he didn't want Marie to get to close to a deranged knight.

Mordred jumped to the floor reaching for the discarded dagger, carnwennan, a dagger once owned by Arthur that let the user become invisible.

That brief distraction was all that Mordred needed, Stein jumped before the path that the other were walking forth unwilling to let him go down the path.

Stein hissed in pain as a felt his chest cut open, He saw flicks of blood in the air and heard the steps of the fallen knight rush down the other hall.

"Stein!" Marie called out as the other ran towards him. "What happened?"

Stein put his hand on his chest, "Don't worry about it, it's a flesh wound. We have an invisible escapee and we have to follow before they manage to get away."

Nene was a bit lost, she hadn't spent that much time in Death City before. She could see where the School was but wasn't sure which path to take.

It had been way easier tossing herself from the school.

"I can help you."

Nene turned to a small caffe where a girl sat in an outdoor table. The girl was rather petite, with ashy blonde hair and red eyes and a stoic exporession. She had on a cute orange cloak with cat ears. She didn't look at Nene just putting down tarot card on the table before her.

"Can you?" Nene questioned, "I need to get to the school, as fast as possible."

"I know," The girl flipped a card, "You are looking the Empress."

Nene glanced at the card and to her surprise saw a drawing of Kami on a throne, dressed in flowing robes holding a sword as flames wrapped around her hands.

"She's looking for the fool." The girl flipped the next card which had the image of Excalibur dancing.

"She's in the company of the Hermit," Flipping the card showed Eibon in the middle of a storm, "The chariot, " It showed the great old one of Power emerging from a book, "The devil," the third card revealed a dark form over the moon with three eyes looming over it, "And Death," The next card showing an image of Kid with a flowing black cloak as he held two pistols, "Oh and we can't forget this one," The final card had an image of Eu wearing a blue robe as she held a ball of glowing light, "The High Priestess. The Empress is trying to protect them all but can she protect herself?"

"That's what I'm trying to do."

"I see that," The girl flipped a card showing Nene petting a red dragon, "The strength card is yours."

The girl held her hand over the last three cards all that were flipped face down.

The girl paused turning to Nene, "I can tell you what will happen next. Are you sure you want to know?"

"No, it doesn't stop what I'm going to do. I'm going to go save them."

"It's dangerous, really dangerous, you could get hurt." The girl's voice began to crack.

"I know, I know what they want to do to the people I love and I have to try and stop them. I don't have time to waste."

"Are you sure?"

Nene smiled, "Yes."

There was a solemn look in the girls face, it seemed out of place on her usual stoic face. "Go down this alley and then turn to the left at the red bus stop." She pointed down the way.

"Thank you," Nene paused patting the girl's head before rushing away.

She flipped the three cards, "The Judgement, Wheel of Fortune and the Tower."

The girl looked at the last card which showed a burning tower with a black knight with a sword draw attacking a red dragon.

"I could tell you exactly what is going to happen but it wouldn't stop you. I knew that but I had to try."

0000

"Shit." Soul found himself in the infirmary that was mostly in tatters. "What the hell happened here?"

She found Ayumu and Seraphim sleeping next to each other, he nudged them awake, "Hey get up!"

"Wh-" Seraphim quickly pushed Ayumu away, "What were you planning you dung beetle?"

"Yeah, where's everyone?" Soul put them back on point.

At that moment they heard the screaming, they looked out of the hole to see Black Star attacking the black knight.

Tsubaki another the other waited on the side, as they had weapons that had magic or had similar properties that could be destroyed with the sword. Tsubaki also being the only one who could fight without weapons meant that Maka and Eu couldn't really help.

At the moment at least, Tsubaki caught wind of Black Star's plan, he would remove the sword from play and they could all rush him. Of course, as Black Star would put it, if he didn't beat the knight by himself before they had a shot.

That turned out to be harder than he expected, the knight unlike his lackies was actually skilled and a fighter. He was quick too, dodged every hit Black Star tried to land, and forced Black Star to dodge his attacks barely avoiding the blade taking off his head. But that wasn't enough as Black Star quickly found the knight's hand grabbing his neck and slamming him down to the ground.

Tsubaki pulled out a knife, Maka and Eu readied their weapons to defend their friend despite any danger.

"Black Star throw him up!" A voice filled the air.

Soul and the other were so focused on the fight they didn't notice Kami and Kid walk into the room.

Recognizing Kami's voice Black Star smirked and quickly moved his feet right under the knight and kicked him into the air.

Kami bent down and picked up the discarded spear and pointed it at the now airborne knight. The tip of the spear glowed bright and the air grew hot as an intense beam of light rip out striking the knight like lightning. The knight was hurled down the stairs his armor glowing bright red from the attack.

"That's for earlier," Kami grumbled, she marveled at the spear, "Good old Ron."

"Uh, Ron?" Kid looked on confused at the spear.

"Actually it's called Rhongomiant but Arthur always called it Ron. The man had a thing about nick names. Let's take care of the knight right now."

Kami walked through the hole in the wall, her black coat wafting behind her as she leaned the spear over her shoulder.

The others walked after her.

"Mama!" Maka cheered, Eu pointed at Maka to suggest she shared the sentiment.

"Good to see you keeping out of trouble." Kami chuckled, pausing when she found a sword on the floor. She quickly picked it up and a small wistful smile formed on her face, "Witch Hunter, hello old friend."

"Yeah, why does that sword have the same name as the attack you invented." Maka questioned, noting her mother's familiarity with the blade.

"Yeah, when I was in Camelot I told the knight Gray, Arthur's Brother, about my technique and he was so taken with it he asked Eibon for a sword that could cut through magic. The issues was that I got name for my technique from a story Excalibur told me about the sword when I was a girl." Kami shook her head, "Time travel just gives me a headach."

Eu held out a notepad.

So, did you date him?

"We went on a few dates. Nothing serious." Kami admitted.

Spirit transformed back into a human shape, "You dated him too!? Did you date all of King Arthur's siblings?"

Kami just glared, "Spirit, first, you are not one to talk about my dating life. Two, I was single unlike some people. Three, we are divorced you can't act jealous. Fourth, me and Anne were just friends. Fifth!" Kami swung the blade barely missing Spirit head, a loud clank filling the air. "Never drop your guard in the middle of a battle, why did you transform?"

A flick of light crackled from the blade and Mordred shimmered visible.

Kami punched him in the face knocking him on his ass. Kami handed the spear to Spirit, "Hello Mordred, still trying to kill me?"

"You foul temptresses." Mordred spat out.

They heard the ground crackle as the knight returned his armor glowing bright red with heat.

"Normally, I would be all for throwing you in the dungeon again but I think I have bigger fish to fry." Kami readied the sword. "Let's see if I can't figure out who you are."

"Soul!" Maka called out and without missing a beat be transformed into her hand.

Maka and Eu moved to Kami's side ready to fight with her.

Seraphim stepped up, her leaf sword formed in hand, "You disrespected Lady Hellscythe's mother. I will see that you regret that."

Ayumu crackled his knuckles, "I'll help."

"Hm, a dung beetle fighting a worm, you might actually stand a chance."

Mordred rushed in and plunged the dagger into Ayumu's chest. Pulling it out he quickly turned invisible again and rushed passed them. Spirt was tossed aside and the spear ripped from him and turned invisible.

Ayumu gasped his wound healing. "Yeah, not going to work. I'm a zombie."

Mordred groaned, "Another one?!"

Seraphim slashed as him flicks of blood filling in the air, "If you're going to be invisible then stay quiet."

Kid helped Spirit up, Spirit groaned, "Kid, should I transform?"

"Kid!" Patty yelled out exiting the school with the others.

"Actually I have my own weapons." Kid smiled fondly.

"Okay what am I supposed to do?" Spirit groaned behind him.

0000

Quickly Kid hugged his weapons happy to be reunited. Kid informed them about what Kami and him had figured from Eibon and the others.

"Someone is trying to kill you?!" Liz panicked.

"Well, we're not gonna let that happen." Patty chirped up.

"That might be easier said than done." A voice rang out from the school. That was quickly followed by the screech and trembling off the halls.

A large monsteruous scale covered bird with a long neck raced towards them, flames escaping it's beak as it did.

"What the hell is that?" Liz yelled out.

"Weird looking thing too!" Patty added.

"Oh no." Stein quickly moved Marie out of the way. The other weapons followed in suit.

"The Cockatrice." The knight stepped close behind it, the book in one hand and Index beaten in the other.

"Liz! Patty! Transform!" Kid ordered.

Patty quickly did but Liz found herself unable to.

"Liz!" Kid yelled.

"I can't! I'm trying! I can't!" Liz yelled as the monster turn their attention to her.

Kid quickly grabbed Liz and flipped their positions so he could take the coming blow of the beast.

The beast was slammed into a wall. Black Star with Tsubaki in hand now stood between them and the stunned monster.

Black Star clicked his tongue, "The others seem to have things under control so I decided you needed my help."

Kid gave Liz another squeeze. "Thank you."

Terror had run through him at the thought of something hurting her.

Black Star moved to the monster as it started to stir. "I wonder if we can cook this thing. The drum sticks would be amazing."

The creatures eyes glowed red as it turned to the assassin, Black Star felt his body grow stiff and found he was unable to move. Slowly his skin began to turn to stone, he struggled but couldn't move.

A blast of energy struck the cockatrice right in the eye followed a scythe slashing at its neck forcing it back.

Stein sauntered up in one arm was Spirit now a scythe and the other Azusa in gun-bow form. Stein wasn't much for using two weapons at once but with his flexible soul he was managing.

"Cockatrice can petrify people with its stare." Stein commented, making sure to avoid direct eye contact with the monster.

"Got it! Now let's talk about those drum sticks." Black Star charged the monster with Stein right behind him.

Marie moved to the youngsters, she might not be a teacher for a lot longer but these were still her kids. "Are you okay? What happened?"

"I don't know." Liz wrapped her arms around her, Patty moved and gave her hug, "I can't transform, I tried and nothing happened. My body refused to do it. Kid,I didn't want to say anything but I've been feeling weird for a while and now I can't transform."

Marie looked at the girl and then Kid, she had an idea but right now in the middle of a huge fight wasn't the time for it.

"Let's get away from the monster right now."

0000

"Who are you?" Kami asked, slashing at the knight. The fight had been going along for a while, the knight hadn't even drawn his own weapon, dodging around the three off them, mostly parrying the attacks with his hands.

This was the first time the three of them fought together like this, Maka and Eu both were familiar with their mother so even subconsciously they were moving with her, working together as one.

The Knight, as much as Kami hated to admit it, was impressive, from what she could tell the knight was easily keeping track of all three off them and keeping note of the other fights. That took years of experience and talent, and a major amount of it. Kami was certain she would know of anyone who had that but something was keeping her from putting it together.

It was frustrating and she didn't need the distraction.

"Girls, I need some help."

Eu gave her a firm nod.

"Got it." Maka smirked, she was actually enjoying the idea of fighting as a family.

The three women closed their eyes, Maka and Eu both felt their mother's soul reaching out to theirs. Eu wasn't a meister but there was a bond, a strong one, they took a breath all together and moved.

The chainsaw revved up, pink energy waft off it as Eu rushed in.

"Witch hunter!" Maka roared out, the scythe blade stretching out and energy crackling off.

Together the sisters attack, the knight unable to move in time caught both weapons, one in each hand. This armor on his hands starting to crack, neither girl willing to give an inch or allow him to turn the attack on them. That was what Kami needed, the blade in hands glowing as brightly as when the knight who once held it used it. Kami jumped up and struck the knight as hard as she could, the sword was not enough to pierce the armour but enough to damage it. A shimmer spread across the armor.

"There you go," Kami smirked, she and her girls moved back to access the situation, "I thought your armor might be messing with me. Let's see who you really are, I know you, don't I?" With a flash her eyes searched for his soul. "MOVE BACK! EVERYONE MOVE BACK NOW!"

Kami pushed back her daughter trying to get distance between them and knight.

Ayumu and Seraphim hesitated but seeing the fear in Kami's eyes they moved back. Mordred growled holding his cut wrist, having earned a number of bruises from Ayumu during their scuffle.

"You still remember me, Nimue? No, you prefer Kami." The Knight removed his helmet tossing it to the side, his face seemingly stuck in a scowl, his long messy hair falling down his shoulder.

The coackatrice fell to the side, chains from Tsubaki in her chain scythe mode held it as Stein finished it up with a few shots.

"My master show himself." The knight held open the book ready to use.

Mordred moved to his side, "Lancelot."

"Lancelot Du Lac," Kami side, the sword held up. "You look young, you shouldn't be around this long. Modred had his mother stop his aging, I took the short path and you…?"

"I did what Ihad to do."

"The only knight who should be immortal was Marrok the Immortal Werewolf, never actually met him, but last Iheard Maba got him. And Galahad." Kami gasped, "He would never give it to you, what did you do? What did you do to you own son?"

Lancelot stared at the meister never speaking. That told her everything, and it disgusted her to her core.

"WHO THE HELL IS HE?!" Black Star yelled out.

Kami hissed, "A former knight of the round table, had an affair with Arthur's wife, killed a knight, and helped bring Camelot's downfall." She hesitated, "Also, the best knight, I hate saying, but he's talented. He can use any weapon as easy as breathing, use anything as weapon and... we can't beat him."

"Maybe you can't But-" Black Star started,

"No!" Kami interrupted, "Not even you can beat him, he was so talented in Camelot he could have fought us all off for a while, but now he's had centuries of training and experience on top of that. I mean, sure with numbers we can probably beat him but he'll kill a good chunk of us before that."

Most of those there would have said something to that fact but Kami's voice was certain, absolutely certain. "He's more dangerous that you can imagine."

As if to prove her point Lancelot with one swift motion picked up something from the ground and hurled towards Liz. Kid quickly caught it mid air.

"You will have to do better than th-" Kid started before he began to wobble.

He opened his hand to find a broken arrow head, it caused a small cut in his hand and black veins began to form. Kid collapsed.

"Kid! Kid!"Liz held onto him.

"It's … Okay… I'm just making me sleepy…" His eyes closed.

Lancelot smirked as he took the spear from Mordred.

Kami planted the sword in the ground, "Eu I need to borrow your saw."

Eu let the magic snap her clothes back to normal before handing her the saw. Kami came up with a plan.

Lancelot gave them the time, he was confident and used the time to tell Modred where the chariot was. Mordred left heading to chariot to tend to his wounds.

The others were about to try and stop him.

"No," Maka told them, "This is a family thing, we'll get him back later."

Maka walked over to the knight with the book, she waved the other off. "Hand over the book and Index."

"You think you can stop me." He prepared to bring out something nasty from the book.

"If you make me,"

"Then try little girl-" He didn't finish as he fell over with a large cut on his back.

"You talk too much." Niko now stood over him sword in hand. "Get out of the way."

"I actually had a plan." Maka pouted, "It was going to be cool and everything. But thanks."

"No didn't want to step on your toes, we were trying to get back here, we had to get through the roof acess and find our way through the school."

Maka pulled out a set of key and searched for a door, Eu quickly behind her.

"We could use all your help for this."

Outside Kami readied the chainsaw.

"You intend to fight me with a pink chainsaw?" Lancelot taunted. "It's very pretty."

"I might be pretty but I bring death." Kami smirked, the chainsaw revving up. Swirling pink energy wrapping around her.

Kami's clothes were replaced with a pink frilly dress. That was the deal with these magical garment girl weapons, they came with cute outfit. Kami didn't particularly like this one, the skirt was too short and far too pink.

Lancelot reacted by fireing a beam at Kami, she charged up the chainsaw and pink energy erupted outwards dispersing the blast.

Both combatants raced at reached the spear clashed with the saw, sparks of energy and magic flew each way.

0000

Azusa went into the school now that it was no longer blocked. Azusa went around to gather other meisters and weapons to gather up the knights that had all been knocked out and gather any weapons and tools they might have. Spirit went to go find someone to help treat Index and Kid. Stein was staying there to look after the pair. From he could gather they were okay. Index was beaten and knocked out, Kid was drugged with a magical sleeping agent. They were in no immediate threat hopefully he could get them a stretcher to move them.

Marie was busy trying to comfort Liz. "Don't worry, he'll be fine."

0000

Maka opened up the room with the key that her mother gave her. It opened up into a large void like room, some sort of magical space that opened up with the key. Inside Kami left all sorts of stuff from her travels. On a shelf laid several weapons much like the chainsaw.

"Okay, everyone grab something."

Eu grabbed a sword from the shelf and the other followed in suit.

0000

The magical saw let Kami move beyond her normal physical limits, The problem was that she herself wasn't magical, the weapon required magic from the user to work properly. Thanks to her meister skills she was able to manage them but that meant relying on the magic in the weapon and that wore them out fast. If the magic ran out she'd be a sitting duck.

And she didn't have a lot of time period, she had to go all out to keep up with him. Already she felt the magic draining.

She pulled back and the magic faded way and clothes went back to normal. "Damn, I didn't even try to do the kick."

"Mama!" Maka called out as Black Star threw a rifle at her.

Kami caught it Lancelot charged, "I am Pretty but I bring death."

The weapons required a phrase to kick in and Kami just gave up trying to say it in the language of Villers..

Light consumed Kami, her clothes changed, she wore a white top with a yellow ribbon and a brown corset, and a yellow shirt with chocolate colored boots and stockings. Also her hair was now in a pair of twin cork screw pig tails with a cute little hat.

"Bang." Kami fired the weapon.

Lancelot hissed as he fell back, he managed to avoid a head shot by blocking it with his hand at the last instance. The gauntlet fell to bits his hand badly scorched.

Kami raised her skirt and more rifles fell out and flew behind her. She took another rifle and aim two of them and the other followed in suit.

"Bang Bang!" Kami smiled the rifles firing at the fallen knight.

Lancelot danced around the shots, avoiding most but a couple of them nicking his armor.

Kami pulled some ribbons from her clothes and they rushed out grabbing his arms and legs.

The knight turned to Kami seeing now she had an army of pistols.

All of the guns went off all once firing at the knight, Lancelot pulled on the ribbon as th shots struck fo zing the ribbon into the aim of one of the shot ripping apart. Quickly he began to pull off the other ribbons, he had to take some of the hit but as he pulled himself free he avoided the majority of the attacks. As he pulled away Kami leaned on the rifles her outfit vanished.

"Next!" Kami called out.

Someone threw a red bow at Kami, she caught it as Lancelot aimed the spear at her again.

"I might be pretty but bring death!"

Her clothes were replaced by a sailor fuku with a red skirt and purple bow, with matching red high heels.

"Okay, kinda like this outfit."

Flaming arrows formed in the bow and Kami fired a series off right at the Lancelot. One of the flaming arrows struck the knight in the shoulder forcing him to veer the end of the attack, unfortunately the laser still struck Kami, the magic protected her for the most part but the outfit vanished like a mist.

"Damn, I liked those heels." Kami hissed, "Okay, I need another one."

A ninja sword was hurled at her. Kami picked it up and rushed in, "I might be pretty but I bring death!"

"That is getting old." Lancelot roared as he stabbed with the spear as light covered her.

"I get it!" Kami barely dodged it and parried with away with the sword.

Lancelot looked at her confused.

Her outfit this time was less concealing,this time it seemed to consist of a pair of purple short-short and a matching bikini top. She also had on a long red scarf, blacks stockings and a shuriken hair dec but it left her feeling exposed. "Why do these outfit have to show so much skin?"

Kami did a backflip and mid air tossed out several shuriken. Lancelot tried to avoid them but as Kami kept her eyes on him they moved until them met him.

Lancelot was getting angry yanking them out of his armor.

"I need something a little more melee fighting." Kami called out, she soon was met with a sword. "Thank you."

"I am pretty but I bring Death."

For this costume change Kami wore a blue dress with white trimmings, she had a chest plate, gauntless and steel boots. A shinning sword in her hands she moved forwards. She preapred to parry the spear only to be shocked when Lancelot dropped it. She slashed the blade meeting his shoulder and drawing blood.

Kami coughed as she felt Lancelot's hand wrap around her neck squeezing it tightly. Lancelot purposely let himself get wounded so he could get her close to kill. As Kami gasped she was forced to drop the sword her clothes reverting. Her hands reached for his arm trying to pry him off..

"Die." Lancelot hissed, "I will kill you, then I will your daughter and take Vivian away where she will die slowly and alone. No, she won't that aggrivating sword will die with her."

Something snapped in Kami, she couldn't stand it anymore, heat seeped out of her. Her Soul Force leaked out trying to strike at Lancelot , embers wrapped around her arms and out of her eyes.

The others had enough moving forwards to try and rescue her.

Lancelot squeezed feeling his skin burn. "You are almost ready."

CRACK.

Kami looked over his shoulder and the flames died down, Nene was now standing by Lancelot his arm crumbled in her fist. She slammed him away freeing Kami.

Kami coughed, her lungs struggling for a breath she fell to her knees and Nene placed her arms around her." It's okay. I'm here It's okay."

Kami looked at her lover happy, the rage inside her faded. Then horror filled her heart as she remembered something.

"Arondight."

It was too late, a sickening sound of flesh being cut was heard. Kami looked up to see Nene before her that smile replaced with shock as a sword pierced through chest.

From behind her with his one good arm Lancelot pulled out his sword.

Arondight was a sword made to killed dragons, to pierce their skin and whatever magic they had.

Nene fell to her knees, she looked at Kami and smiled. If she was going to die she wanted to give her one last smile. She struggled to speak to say one three word phrase. She reached out for her, her arm feeling heavier than before.

Lancelot moved to Kami and pulled her away. Kami screeched as she watched Nene fall to ground. Kami like a wounded animal tried to break from his grasp to reach her.

"No! No! No! Please no!" Kami cried tear flowing freely as she begged to whatever power in the universe would listen. "Please don't!" She reached out to her desperate to hold her, to feel her at least one last time, so she at least wouldn't have to die alone. "Please."

"My love…"

Kami went silent she heard Nene call her, a smile on her face her golden eyes looking right at her.

Then silence.

"No… no…. no…." Kami stopped fighting and was dropped to the ground.

She screamed a soul shattering bellow. White flames licked her body and erupted out of her, her very soul no longer able to contain what was in her.

The others were frozen in shock with what happened just watched unable to look away as Kami broke down before them.

Kami's eyes went white and the flames erupted outwards and exploded launching every one back.

Maka and Eu stood there unsure what to do. The flames didn't hurt them, it was their mother's soul and even in grief and rage she would never hurt them.

Lancelot rushed the flames as Kami continued to scream smashed her head into the stone again and again making her stop screaming.

The girls looked on, they didn't know what to do, they always felt that their mother was strong and if anything she'd protect them so they didn't know what to do when she needed protection. Now they both rushed desperate to do anything.

Lancelot dropped Kami and rushed at the girls, they move out of rage with no thought behind their actions. He grabbed Kami and threw her body at the girls, they paused but were unable to do anything in time. The collided with the unconscious Kami and they crashed into the ground.

"Mama!" Eu's voice rang out in panic, she saw her mother's blood spilling onto her body.

The air grew heavy and a storm started to rush across the city. In her panic she tried to call on the power, to do anything but found Lancelot above her holding the Witch hunter, he loomed over her and stabbed her.

The blade pierced her neck as much as she wanted to scream Eu couldn't. Eu tumbled backwards her eyes wide, her hand covered in blood as she desperately tried to close her wound.

Blood continued to escape her wound before Lancelot kicked her in the face to knock her out.

"Mama! Eu!" Maka pulled herself away from under her mother and lashed at the knight.

With just one good arm he smacked Maka away.

He was stronger than she thought, it felt like someone had struck her a sledge hammer, Maka still struggled to move. Maka crawled to try and hold him.

Everyone else was stunned by the white flames, she was on her own this and couldn't let it end like this.

"Are you done?" The chariot formed behind Lancelot with Mordred.

"Get them." Lancelot said in a whisper.

Maka was helpless to do anything watching the two men carry off her wounded mother and sister. Then they took Kid, Index and the book.

Lancelot paused a moment as he saw two red hair girls, neither seemed to be affected by the flames, both in shock unable to move after what they saw. Their eyes locked on Nene and the pool of blood forming beneath her. Lancelot ignored them as they were no threat.

He paused for moment removing the sword from Nene's body.

Lancelot noticed step into the Chariot and vanished with their prisoners.

Maka felt her warm tears streak her face.
