Chapter 7
Sooooo, um how was chapter 6? Good… I got to remember to go back and fix the other chapters!
I have no idea what else to say, so enjoy!
"Soul, Soul, Soul, SOUL, SOOOOUUUUULLLLLLL!" Wes screams into my ear.
I sit up and look at him with a glare.
"What?" I then wine covering my face into my hands.
"You have to go get ready and talk to Lord Death." He replies.
"Shit… I really don't feel like it."
"Then do it to go see Maka."
I look over at him with an eyebrow raised. "What does Maka have to do with anything?"
Wes gives a shrug, "I don't know, you care about her, it's funny because the other people you save you could care less."
"Thanks for making me sound heartless."
Wes laughs, "Awe come on you know what I mean! You meet them, save them, drop them off here and give them a simple wave whenever you see them."
"Yeah, so? I don't plan on being their friend!"
"But you are Maka's friend."
"Well Maka's different and this mission with her is much different than my other missions."
"Sure, Soul." Wes says patting my knee, "Now go get ready."
I watched him walk out of my room, closing the door behind him. I sighed and got up heading to the bathroom.
Normal POV:
"Well hello there Mr. Evans." Lord Death greets Soul as he walks in. Soul walks into seeing everybody there but no Maka.
"No Maka?"
"She's not here yet Soul." Lord Death says in his funny voice.
"Hey Soul, long time no see!" Black Star yells, giving Soul their high five. Tsubaki comes up giving Soul a hug. Kid then comes up shaking both of Soul's hands. Liz and Patty then come up.
"SOUL!" They scream in unison.
Soul glared at them. "I'm going to kill both of you for that mission and Patty this is for on the phone, can't believe I forgot when you guys came!"
"He's not serious is he?" Liz whispers to Patty. Patty looks over seeing Soul turn his arms into scythes.
"Yup he's serious." Patty then says.
With that they scream and run away. Soul right after them.
"HAHAHA, YEAH YOU GO GET THEM SOUL. SHOW EM WHO'S BOSS!" Black Star yells. Tsubaki then runs after Soul trying to calm him down. Kid freaks seeing that Soul has mess up Liz and Patty's symmetric hair.
Lord Death laughs, Wes comes running in. "SOUL!" Lord Death's laughter continues.
Wes then proceeds to try to pull Soul off of Patty and Liz. With Black Star cheering Soul on, Tsubaki begging them to stop, and Kid freaking.
Maka and Blair's mouth drop wide open when they reach the room.
Lord Death looks and calms his laughter. "Ah, Maka and Blair. Nice to see you finally made it!"
Soul freezes, his fists each inches to Patty and Liz's face. Everyone else looks over to see Maka. Wes finally pulled Soul off of the girls. Tsubaki now covering Black Star's mouth. Kid running over to the girls and fixing their clothes and hair.
"Is this an everyday thing?" Maka asked Soul as he walks up to her. Soul looks back to the group. "Kinda."
"Nye, HI WES!" Blair screams seeing the boy. "Thank you for that story about Soul. It really helped me with Maka."
"Sure thing!" Wes says smiling.
"Story?" Soul asked facing Maka.
Maka looks down, feeling everyone's eyes on her. "Your parents…" She whispers. Soul stares for a few minutes then laughs. "Oh! Well it's okay, they're in a better place and besides I saved thousands of lives!"
Everyone shocked but Wes and Lord Death.
"You are so right Soul!" Maka sings happily jumping up and down then hugging him.
"Whoa," Black Star says. He then walks over to Maka. Maka pulls away from Soul about to greet him properly but was interrupted.
"I AM THE AMAZING BLACK STAR! I AM THE RULER, THE GOD, THE MAN TO BE WORSHIPED AS YOUR STAR!"
"Oh no, hopefully Maka doesn't punch him." Blair says.
Soul grabs Maka's waist pulling her away. He can see her hands ready to punch him.
"This should be good." Lord Death says to Blair and Wes who nod in agreement.
"Makaaaa."
"Oh no…" Blairs says.
Soul raising an eye brow hearing her but then sees a book coming crashing down onto Black Star's head.
"CHOPPPP." Maka cries.
Black Star falls with a dent. Tsubaki crying out. Patty laughing, Liz and Kid staring at Maka.
"I guess my holding you back plan didn't work." Soul says letting go of Maka's hips. Maka puts her book back and gives an awkward laugh, hiding behind Soul.
"Ow! What the hell was that for?" Black Star questions, getting up in Maka's face.
Maka backs away, Soul pushes Black Star; "You annoyed her, that's why she did that."
Black Star huffs at Soul's answer, than crosses his arms.
"Anyway!" Lord Death says. "Everyone take your seats but Maka."
Kid, Liz, Patty take their seats on the couch while Black Star and Tsubaki take the other one. Wes and Blair sit down on the chairs next Lord Death's mirror. Soul stays, standing next to Maka.
"Now Maka, first off, welcome to Death City! Your parents were a pleasure to have. Your father was a weapon and your mother was his mister."
Maka nods, understanding that part. Lord Death continues.
"Maka, your mission here is to kill witch Izzy with the crystal. I believe Blair might have mentioned it."
Maka again nods.
"Good," Lord Death takes the crystal from Blair's hands. "This crystal has been around for a thousand years. I found out the crystal is strong enough to kill Witch Izzy then putting her to sleep. It's very hard to master. That is why I'm having Dr. Stein help you."
Dr. Stein then enters the room, stitches from head to toe. Maka shivered.
"You are not to believe anything Witch Izzy says, understand? She messes with your mind, gets the most important things facts from you. If the crystal falls into her hands it's game over. She will wipe out the human race, and use mister, weapons, other witches as slaves."
Maka looks at the crystal in Lord Death's hands, she couldn't believe she will be wearing one of the most power things on the planet.
"Maka I have some bad news about your parents." Maka's head shot up, to look into his eyes.
"It was about six years ago. Your parents were fighting against every witch that wanted to crystal, but luckily they killed them all. But then when Blair came to help, Witch Izzy had arrived. Her ink men attacked. Blair and your father did their best to fight them while your mom tackled on Izzy. Your mother was then killed…"
Maka's heart sank, tears pricked her eyes. Soul stiffened, Maka lost her parents from the same Witch.
"When Witch Izzy killed Soul and Wes's parents I went off to find her, years later when I did, it was too late, she already taken your mother's life. I fought her. More witches came, your father in peer anger chased after them. We never saw him again…. Blair went to your mother, and that's when she handed the crystal to her to give to you."
Maka started to sob. Soul wrapped his arms around her.
"But then, after years of searching, I found your father!"
Maka looked up in shock, everyone then stood up. The sound of footsteps filled the room. Soul let go of Maka when Spirit entered the room.
"MAKA!" Spirit cried out, Maka ran to him full speed. Follow by Blair. They then tackled him to the ground. Everyone crying.
"That was the most beautifulness thing I ever seen." Liz cried. Black Star sobbed, "I know right! What a true god." Only to blush out of embarrassment when they all looked at him in surprised.
Wes stood up and placed a hand on Soul's shoulder. Soul looked at him and smiled then back at Maka hugging her father.
"Now, now," Lord Death speaks with a clap of his hands. "Back to business." Maka and Blair went back to where they were. Spirit taking a seat next to Stein.
"Since your father used to crystal, he is helping you as well. I bet Spirit can tell you about his fighting days with you later."
Maka sniffs and nods her head.
"Now when you put on the crystal it's going to unlock everything, since you never really used anything thing as a mister, it's going to hurt a little."
"Well dang," Maka mumbles. Lord Death places the crystal around her neck; everyone inching forward, curious to what was going to happen.
The crystal started to glow; Maka looked down at it, holding it in her hand. Her head started to spin, she collapsed on the floor.
"Maka!" Soul screamed about to catch her, only to be pulled back by Lord Death. Blair stands up, but Wes pulled her back down. They all watched as Maka's body started glow, being lifted in the air.
Maka opened her eyes. She was greeted by darkness, "Hello?" She called out.
"Maka, this way sweaty."
Maka looked around in surprised that someone had answered her. But she followed the sound of the voice. She stumbled upon a white room. There, sat a woman with long wavy blond hair. Her eye's light grey.
"Where am I?" Maka asked.
"In the crystal, silly." The women replied with a laugh.
Maka's eyes widen at the women's answer.
The lady carried on, seeing Maka wasn't going to say anything. "I'm unlocking your powers, my god is there a lot. I want you to know Maka that I'm here to help you. I'm a little rusty but you can trust me."
"When will I be able not wear you anymore?" Maka asked shyly.
The women looked down. "I'm sorry Maka, but you hold to much that it will dangerous to take me off. If you wear me, I will be able to hold the powers and give you the one you want when needed."
"B-But!"
"I know what Blair said, I was there." The crystal woman takes her seat at her desk. "You can talk to me anytime and I will answer you in your head."
Maka felt her shoulders relax, the crystal woman would be able to talk to her then that means she can help her along the way to kill Witch Izzy.
"Does my parents know you can talk?"
"Nope, just you. You were so powerful that I had to tell you, if I didn't you would take me off and die."
The color in Maka's face drained. The crystal women laughed. "Awe it's alright dear. I'm going to help you every step of the way."
Maka nodded. "Can I tell them that you can talk?"
"I guess so, I bet it's the only way for them to believe you on why you cannot take me off."
Maka smiled, "What's your name?"
"Hm, I guess it's Crystal, because that's what everyone calls me."
"Alright Crystal, thank you. Can I go back now?"
"Oh sure, you can always come visit me in your dreams, bye for now!"
Maka waves with a smile.
Maka's eyes open, she feels her feet touch the ground, she stumbles forward, Soul quickly catching her.
"How was it?" Lord Death asked. Maka manages a smile. Lifting herself up with one arm around Soul.
"Great, I got to meet her, she told me one thing though."
"And what is that?" Lord Death asked shocked that the crystal is alive.
"That I'm too powerful to take her off, she will be able to control my powers when I need them so I won't go over load and kill myself." Maka felt Soul stiffen at her remaining words.
"How come I didn't get to meet her?" Spirit asked his daughter. Maka looks up, "You didn't need to I guess."
Spirit nods, "That makes sense."
"Well Maka, if you need any help you know where to find me. Everyone in this room is going to help you train."
Maka nods at Lord Death. Standing up on her own.
"You may all leave!" Lord Death then waves them off. "Oh Soul!"
Soul stops walking, as well as Wes, Blair and Maka.
"Your mission is complete, you are not needed. You may pick out a new mission."
Soul walks up to Lord Death in surprise. "But I thought I could help Maka train? And besides, I want revenge on what Witch Izzy did!"
Maka then runs up, "Lord Death please, I feel safe with Soul, I wanted him to be there with me!"
Lord Death thinks for a minute, "Well alright, I guess you will still need protecting."
Maka and Soul smile then head out the room followed by Wes and Blair.
Spirit walks up, "Maka, Blair, how about we have some Father, daughter time?"
Both girls squeal in delight, "Thank you Soul for looking out for her." Soul nods at Spirit, then waves goodbye to Maka.
The Next Day:
"Ouch," Again Maka falls back. She wasn't really getting this fighting thing.
"Come on Maka! You got this!" Black Star says helping her up. Maka brushes herself off, truth is she really didn't.
Liz, Patty stood on the sidelines of the ring, and nice soft area for Maka to practice. Kid and Soul sat on the bench watching Maka fall again. Tsubaki running up with some water.
Blair, Wes and Spirit were in another room with Stein talking about how to teach Maka to fight, for she was not getting this.
"Ahhh!" Maka throws a punch, Black Star doges.
"Alright time!" Black Star yells, Maka pants sitting down. Taking the water from Tsubaki. "I can't do this anymore, I'm really about to hurt her." Black Star wines. "Soul, your turn."
Soul sighs and gets up, walking to the ring, Tsubaki and Black Star exit, standing on the sides.
"In a real fight, there are no breaks so tired or not, come at Maka!" Soul yells at her. Maka stands up, she was exhausted. Fighting Black Star first was too much.
She charges at Soul, the crystal glowed, Maka's hand then forming magic striking Soul. Soul protected himself with his scythe, sliding back words.
"What the hell Maka? No magic!" Soul's screams turning his arm back.
"I'm so sorry Soul, I didn't mean to!"
Soul stares at her but nods. He charges again. Maka clenched her fist, throwing a punch, Soul doges. Maka fist then collides with Black Star's face, who was standing on the side, sending him flying out of the rink.
Soul and Maka both stop.
"BLACK STAR!" Tsubaki yells, running to her mister.
Black Star stands up, then running into the rink. He grabs Maka and shakes her. "Now that's what I call a punch! About damn time you hit me! Alright you against Soul and I!
Maka sweat dropped.
Liz and Patty cheered Maka on. Kid then joins them.
Maka started to feel better about herself when she started to actually hit Black Star and Soul. After two more hours of fighting Maka finally got a break.
She collapsed in the rink; Tsubaki runs up slashing water on her. Maka smiled.
"Alright, let's hit the showers and go home, you had enough for today Maka. Keep it up and you will be able to fight real evil soon enough." Soul says helping Maka up.
Maka stretches. "H-how are you guys not out of breath!?" Black Star and Soul look at each other then back at Maka, "We do this kind of thing every day!" Black Star answers.
"Well that's just great." Maka mumbles.
"Ah it's good to be home!" Maka says to Blair who nods in agreement.
"Better than our other home!"
"I wish Papa was able to live with us." Maka then says.
"I know," Blair agrees. Spirit was kidnapped and was badly beaten so he is recovering while Stein watches over him.
Maka then takes a cold shower, while Blair makes dinner.
Soul showers and gets dress, drying his hair with his towel. He walks up to Wes who stood in front of their parents picture.
Wes turns to Soul, "I bet they are so proud of the man you have become."
Soul smiles and looks back at the picture. "Wes?"
"Hmm," His brother replies, "Are you sure you don't want to take up fighting?"
Wes sighs sadly; he never turned into a weapon so he must have been a mister like his father. But ever since they lose their parents, Wes has been too scared to even learn how to fight. For Soul on the other hand was the complete opposite. Their mother trained Soul at an early age; his gene coming faster than normal. Soul's skills advancing since then.
"Well can you at least learn Karate or something?" Soul then asks after his brother did not reply.
Wes looks at Soul. He was right, how was he going to protect himself? They lived in Death City. Were 90% of the people were mister and weapon. Rest family members or wanted to be safe. Which Wes didn't understand because Death City was always under attack by Witches and Kishins.
"You're right Soul. I'm going to ask Lord Death tomorrow."
Soul smiles, "Good, now I don't have to worry about you."
"Hey, I'm the one who worries, Mr. I like to come back cover in blood."
Soul laughs. Wes then joins in.
"Ugh, my face," Black Star wines. Tsubaki then come out with some ice; placing it on Black Star's face.
"Here you go Black Star. Feel better okay?"
"Thank you Tsubaki, I gotta say, that Maka girl sure can pack a punch."
Tsubaki laughs, "She improved so much in such little time."
"I guess the crystal is bringing out her powers." Black Star says to Tsubaki who nods in agreement.
"Liz, aren't you excited to fight Maka tomorrow?"
Liz freezes in her steps, causing Kid to crash into her.
"Were fighting Maka tomorrow?"
Patty and Kid nod, "Yes we are, Maka cannot go a day without training. That means we switch Black Star and Soul."
Liz's mouth drops to what Kid said.
"I guess I better take off my fake nails," Patty laughs while Kid nods.
"We don't hold back got it?" Kid says, "Maka is going against one of the strongest Witches alive, she must know how hard it really is."
Liz and Patty nod understanding what Kid was saying.
Witch Izzy stood at her window. She finally found were Maka was again. There was one problem though, she already put on the crystal.
"I can't attack Death City, I guess I must wait till they come find me. Isn't that right Spirit?" She asks, facing the red hair man.
Spirit growls and try's to break free. The rope around him was getting tighter. Who knows what data the clone was picking up?
Witch Izzy laughed at the struggling Spirit. "Oh, give it a rest. You get to see your little girl soon enough. And when she tries to kill me, I will know all her tricks!"
Izzy then interrupts into an evil laugh. As Spirit could only glare.
Dang that shocked you didn't it? Well I guess chapter six was no success since only two people reviewed. You all forgot about me ; . ;
Anyway~ since my surgery I missed a week of school. I'm going to have to make all that work up -_-
ALSO I have two very BIG projects that I'm going to have to do. They're both due at the end of the mouth.
In May, that's when Keystones are. It's this big testing thing. Also I got to do Maps ANDDDD Finals.
SOOOO I'm going to hold off on this and my Love Shots. It's a little heads up, Chapter 8 will be out in June, or earlier I'm not sure. I stress very easily.
So until next time!
