Chapter 12

Oh yeah the fight with Izzy :D
ENJOYYYY

Liz brushed Maka's hair in a high ponytail as they sat in her room. Everyone was wearing their jumpsuits Liz got them. Soul leaned against the wall as he watched Maka make a face every time Liz pulled hard.

Black Star and Tsubaki were playing a card game on the floor as Kid was reorganizing Maka's closet. Patty comes walking in the room holding drinks.

"I got everyone's drinks!" She walks around the room handing it to them.

Maka takes a sip and spits it out. "Eck."

Patty turns to her, "What?"

Soul walks up and takes the drink and sips it, "You gave her diet coke, Maka hates diet coke." Soul then gives Maka his drink, Maka happily takes it and sips it as Soul takes hers.

Everyone looks at them. "What?" Maka says. Liz pulls Maka's hair.

"Ow! Damn it Liz."

"Sorry Maka." She then looks up at Soul, "How do you know Maka hates that."

Soul shrugs, "I use to be her pet dog, she told me things she hates."

"And you remembered?"

"Yup."

Liz then leans in to Maka's ear, "See, told ya he likes you."

Maka blushes.

Kid then faces the group, "There it's done!" Maka turns to see her closet. "Kid! What the hell did you do?" Her ponytail swinging.

"I color coded it!"

Maka gets off her bed. "Kid! I like it having summer shirts on the left and winter on the right."

"And the bottom rack has her dresses and skirts." Soul adds in.

Maka points to Soul and nods.

Kid looks back at the closet, "But I like it this way."

Maka's eye switches.

Black Star puts down his cards, he looks up at Maka. "This is going to be good."

"Kid, just fix her closet, at least she had in an organized way!" Liz yells pointing the brush at him, he glares at his weapon, "Never!"

Maka pushes him to the side and begins to fix it. Patty laughs seeing Kid's face. He turns to Soul and points at Maka. Soul puts his hands up and shakes his head.

"Kid, let it go, Maka likes her closet that way, it's not yours." Tsubaki chimes in. Maka smiles proudly at her closet after she finishes it. She walks over to Soul and leans against his chest. He smiles at her, one hand around her waist the other holding his soda.

Kid walks out of the room as his cell phone began to ring. Everyone looks at him as he walks back in minutes later, "That was my father, Witch Izzy has been spotted, she's on her way to Death City."

Maka gets off of Soul and walks to over to the door, "Well let's go guys!"

Soul puts down his drink, "Let's go."

Black Star kicks up sand. He looks at Kid and Maka, "Where the hell is she?"

Kid puts Liz and Patty in his belt. "Back at her place?"

Maka fixes Soul, setting him on her shoulder. "I don't even sense her!"

"This is hopeless, let's just go back home." Black Star huffs.

Maka turns to him, "No! We're going to fight her! I'm going to her place if you're with me or not!"

Tsubaki transforms back, "Maka, Lord Death says we only attack if she attacks us."

Soul transforms, he runs his hands through his hair, "But she did Tsubaki!" Maka nodding, "Yeah!"

Liz and Patty change back too, "Let's just go kill the witch!" Liz says putting her hands on her hips, "Liz!" Kid says shocked. "What? I'm tired of hearing this stupid witch, Izzy this, Izzy that! God it's all I been hearing for months!"

Patty nodding her head in agreement. "True."

"Well, even if I want to fight her, I'm going home! It's hot as shit out here and we don't know where she lives!" Black Star whines.

"I do." Soul says crouching down with his eyes closed.

"Then lets go!" Maka says grabbing his collar lifting him up to his feet.

"No Maka!" Kid says standing in front of her and Soul. "Lets go back."

"I see the problem." Soul says walking in front of Maka. Kid raises a brow, Soul looks at him and the others, "You don't want to fight her."

Kid sighs, "I have a bad feeling Soul."

Soul rolls his eyes, "Well maybe that's because she's not easy to fight."

"I just love how you guys are talking about me!" Izzy says walking up to them. Soul instantly pulling Maka behind him. The girls transformed as Kid and Black Star catch them getting in fighting stance.

Izzy begins to laugh, "Oh kids, it's too hot to fight here, let's go to my place shall we?" She walks up to Soul, getting in his face, "Or you can just come with me and I'll let your friends live, especially Maka."

Soul growls at her, Maka pulling him back. "Soul will never leave us for you."

"But it's about your safety Maka dear, If Soul doesn't come with me, you'll get hurt."

Maka glares at her, she looks at Soul, "If you listen to her, I swear to god Soul, I'll never forgive you."

Soul looked at her shocked, "But she wants to kill you!"

Maka rolls her eyes, "She's just saying that Soul."

"Smart girl," Izzy smirks, she looks at Kid and Black Star, "Well, how lucky am I? Lord Death's son and the last child from the Star clan, if I take all of you guys; then I'm pretty sure I can rule the world over night."

"Not if I can help it!" Black Star says as he charges at her. Izzy doges him, she lifts up her hand, roots come out of the ground grabbing him, "What the hell? I thought you just controlled ink?"

"Oil, I control oil, well ink too because I create it. My power is plant life. It's just easier to throw ink at you guys because you all get stuck. Simply hilarious I might add."

Black Star cuts the roots, "Well it's easy to escape, so HA!"

Kid shakes his head, "Star, don't temp her!"

Soul mumbles the word idiot as he transforms, Maka grabs him. She then has the crystal form around him and she charges at the witch. Izzy faces her, her eyes go wide. She lifts her hands, forming trees and tall grass, grabbing Maka and lifting her in the air. The branch grabbing Soul, trying to pull him away from her.

"NO!" Maka cries, her eyes light up and the scythe glows, light/static coming out killing everything.

Izzy was taken back, "When did your eyes do that?"

Maka shrugs, she felt light headed. Soul sensing that she was.

Izzy shakes it off and continues to throw ink at the group. Trees popping up trying to grab them.

"Damn it, I'm getting tired." Maka mumbles, Black Star slices a branch next to her, "Yeah, me too. Fighting in the dessert is too much!"

"Don't give up guys!" Kid yells at them, "Who said we were?" Maka questions, "Yeah!" Black Star agrees.

"I'm getting nowhere with you guys!" Izzy yells impatient. She claps her hands and smokes appears.

"Did she vanish?" Maka asks looking around, "I don't know…I don't sense her." Kid answers.

"I hear someone…" Black Star softly says; the smoke clears but only to have trees surround them.

"What the hell!" Maka looks around, they were surrounded by trees.

"Are we still outside of Death City because this isn't sand on the ground!" Black Star says as he turns to them.

Kid looks down to the grassy ground, he kicks up some flowers, only for dirt to be shown.

"How can she do that?"

"Great we're lost."

"She's still here!" Black Star throws a rock in the woods. "OW!" Someone screams. Izzy appears, "Who threw that?"

Maka and Kid instantly point to Black Star. "Thanks for ratting me out guys." He mumbles to them, they only shrug.

"What are we doing here?" Maka asks as she walks up to Izzy. Izzy steps away from the blade. "I was hot, so I brought you to my forest!"

"We're in a forest?" Soul asks, face appearing. Izzy nods. "Great now we really are lost." Maka mumbles under her breath.

"Alright lets fight!" Black Star cheers throwing a punch at Izzy. She lifts up her hand and branches grab him.

"Now I understand why she brought us here." Kid says, he begins to shoot at her. Maka cutting the branches to get free.

Izzy vanishes into the woods, "Let's go after her!" Maka yells as she already begins to run in the direction Izzy vanished.

"Maka! We must stick together, we don't know these woods but she does!" Kid yells, running after her. Black Star speeding past them. He then immediately stops, sending Maka to crash into him, then Kid crashing into her. This caused them to all fall off the cliff.

"Way to go Black Star." Maka hits him on the head.

"Ow! Hey I stopped; you're the one who wasn't paying attention."

"Stop it you too! We are falling to our deaths!"

"You're Lord Deaths Son! Do something!" Star yells as he points to him.

"I got this!" Maka says as she sits on Soul, her crystal growled, "Hang on to Soul, guys." They did as told. Maka then starts to fly as they all held on to Soul. She softly drops them onto the ground.

Soul transforms and coughs. Maka rubs his back, "Oh my god Soul, are you okay?"

"Yeah, fine, that just took so energy." Maka nods at him as she continues to rub his back.

The girls transform back, "I never been so scared for you guys," Liz breaths out in relief.

"Well we lost her, I think." Tsubaki says while she looks up the rocky wall they stand between.

"Look at this little river!" Patty chirps as she splashes in it. Black Star joins her. Kid shakes his head at them.

Soul sits down on the ground, he was tired, when Maka uses the crystal around them, he can feel all her power, he always holds some back so she won't go overboard. It seems like the crystal left him in charge into doing that. He's now realizing that it takes some energy from him to hold it back.

Maka sits down across from him, she looks worriedly at him. He manages to smile at her and pat her head. Maka was very tired too, making them fly was harder then she thought, but she can tell everyone was tired. They needed a break.

"We better go find some food." Kid says to them, walking over. Soul groans, "Can't we rest first?"

Kid raises a brow, "Soul are you alright? You haven't been this tired in a while." Soul shrugs at him, Maka bites her lip, she was now realizing why he was tired. He's the one that holds back the crystal power so she won't kill herself. She guess the flying part over did it for him.

Tsubaki feels Soul's forehead. "You're hot Soul!"

Soul pushes away her hand, "And so are you!"

"So you don't feel sick?"

"No, Tsubaki, just tired."

"How about you and Maka rest, Black Star and I will look for food," She faces Kid, "Look for fresh water, that stream is not clean."

Everyone nods and sets off.

Maka watches them disappear before facing Soul, he had his eyes closed.

"Soul."

He opens why to look at her, "Hmm?"

"Why didn't you tell me you're the one holding back the crystal power?"

Soul chuckles, "Because I know that you won't use it then."

Maka pouts, "Why isn't Crystal doing her job?" She grabs it, looking down at it.

"She use too but then the more we fought the more I notice the power surrounding me, I could feel your wavelength, I could feel when it was getting tired from the power, I then learned how to hold it back. I was surprised how fast that it worked."

Maka looks back up to Soul after he finishes his answer. "You have to tell me when you're tired too. You need energy to stay in scythe form!"

"Psh," Soul waves his hand, "Maka, I can handle it."

Maka looks into his eyes, he was serious. She crawls over to Soul putting her arms around him into a hug. Soul shocked but returned it.

"Awe, so cute." Izzy claps, Maka stands up to glare at her.

"Don't even bother to try to fight me Maka, Soul's tired, it's just as dangerous for him to overdo it like you."

"I can fight you myself!"

"Ha! Bring it."

Maka steps in front of Soul, her hands glow with the light, she then charges. Izzy blocks, Maka strikes her in the stomach. Izzy coughs, she hits Maka in the side. Maka stumbles, what just hit her?

"What? How can you still move?"

"What are you talking about?" Maka questions, shooting the light out of her hands at the witch.

"That was supposed to paralyze you!"

"Well it didn't work!"

Izzy growled, she took a blow in her face, sending her into the rocks.

Maka stepped back, the paralyze spell did work, only for left a little bit. Thanks to the crystal she overcame it.

Izzy sends ink at Maka, she dodges it. Maka cried out when Izzy punched her in the stomach, Izzy's fist smocking hot.

"What the hell?" Maka gasp for her, "HA, I got you on that one! I'm a witch Maka, I know a lot of spells."

Maka growled, she needed Soul and all of three of them knew it.

Maka doges another hot fist, she kicks Izzy in the shin, Izzy bends down, Maka grabs her head, kneeing her in the face.

"I'm going to kill you." Maka mumbles under her breath, Maka knew that Izzy was holding back, but why? She was powerful enough to kill all these people plus Soul's parents and her mom.

"Why are you holding back?"

"Oh you noticed?" Izzy laughs, "I'm having fun Maka. I-" She was then cut off. She looks down to see a blade right through her back and stomach, Soul pulls out. Izzy falls to the ground, coughing up blood.

"This isn't over you two, I'll be back." And with that, she vanishes.

Maka looks up at Soul, he sighs, "You're wavelength is out of control with that stupid crystal so I put a stop to the fight."

Maka wanted to yell at her but she knew Soul was right, he saved her. She's pretty sure she would kill herself lacking how to control to crystal powers herself. She sighs and leans against his chest. Him resting his head on hers.

"We're back!" Black Star screams with Tsubaki behind him. They set the food down and look around.

"What happen here?" Tsubaki asked shock.

"Izzy." Maka and Soul say in unison.

"Damn it, I missed it!" Black Star whines.

"HEYYY!" Patty screams, she holds a bucket filled with water.

"Where did you get the bucket?" Soul asks her. Maka turning her head to look.

"Kid."

Liz walks up, "He's able to make some things appear with his hands."

Kid places two more buckets down, "That's right, a little trick Father taught me." He then looks around, "Izzy?"

Soul and Maka nod.

"What? How did you know that!?" Liz faces her Meister in shock. Kid shrugs, "Lucky guess. Besides there are trees and ink around."

Liz shakes her head and sits down.

Everyone begins to eat and drink before going to bed. Maka crawls into Soul's arms. Liz smirking at them. Patty then nudges her, Liz then looks to were Patty was pointing, only to see Black Star and Tsubaki doing the same. She scuffs. Kid lies down between them, putting an arm around each of them.

"Ah, symmetry." He happily says. Patty and Liz both roll their eyes and giggle, then snuggling more into their Meister.

Soul wakes up to the sound of leaves rustling. He looks down at Maka who was still sound asleep, he looks at the others seeing they were asleep too, he then watches Black Star's head pop up, looking to where he heard the rustling. Black Star then turns to Soul, surprised to see him awake, he then mouths, do you hear that?

Soul nods at him, he slowly tries to get up from Maka, but only for her to mumble grab his shirt and pull him down, he can hear Black Star's soft laughter. He glares at his friend and watches him try to get up but the same thing happening to him. Soul smirks, thank you Karma.

"When did the girls get so strong?" He softly says, Star shrugging, the leaves rustling even more. A deer then hops out. Soul and Star sigh in relief.

"Soul, go back to sleep, no one is there, just animals." Maka mumbles into his chest. He looks down shocked to know she was awake. Black Star laughter filling his ears, he looks up to glare at him but sees Tsubaki covering his mouth. Soul smirks then coddles more into Maka.

"Get up! Come on!" Kid yells to his friends. Soul moans in protest, turning on his back, bringing Maka with him, she squeaks and lands on his chest. Liz laughs, Maka flicking her the finger. Black Star and Tsubaki get up and stretch.

"Come on Soul, we need to find our way back home."

Soul groans and lets go of her, she stands up and so does he.

"Let us eat the left over then start our journey back home." Kid says to them, everyone nods.

It took them two hours to realize where they were, the forest that hid behind Izzy's house.

"Finally! I never want to see a tree again!" Black Star says as he falls onto the plan grass.

"Then we will all die if there were no trees." Patty says pocking his head.

"That's not what I meant Patty!" Black Star yells at her. They get into a huge fight, Liz and Tsubaki trying to calm them down.

Kid sighs, "So do we go in and fight her? We are all tired though…"

Maka turned to Kid, as much as she wanted to kill Izzy right there and then. She just didn't have the strength. "Let's just go. We all need proper sleep and food."

Soul looks over at Izzy's house. It looked like a little hut, what was it with witches with having big houses underground, and something small on top? He notice someone smiling out the little window. He squints his eyes to get a better look, it didn't look like Izzy nor anyone he knew, but there she was smiling out the window. Was she trapped there? Or was she one of Izzy's creations?

Maka grabs Soul's hand to tug him along, she looks over at him with worry, he just kept starring at the house, she looked at the widow but only to see nothing. Soul watched the face disappear. A bad feeling then washed over him. Soul not even realizing grips Maka's hand, it makes her yelp in surprised, everyone turns to face them.

"Ow Soul….Soul?" Maka looks at his face, it was filled with worry. He mumbles something under his breath that she couldn't catch. "Soul what's wrong?"

"GET DOWN!" Soul then screams. Everyone hits the grassy ground. The sound of shooting fills their ears. Soul lays over Maka, protecting her. The shooting finally stops.

"Don't get up." Soul commands his friends after he see's Black Star starting to stand. He lays back down over Tsubaki.

"Soul, what is going on?" Kid asks.

Soul turns his head to face him, "Izzy shoots these bullets at people to make them weak, like she did to me and Wes a while back. I realized what they were because they looked familiar."

"When can we get up?" Patty asks.

"Till all the guns go away, we triggered them so now we must wait."

Patty sighs to what Soul says, she was getting very uncomfortable. Maka sighs, Soul looks down at her, their chest pressed together. "What's wrong?"

"I didn't know fighting her would take so long! I thought this would be kinda easy to do."

"They're all gone!" Liz cheers. Everyone slowly gets up then funs full blast to where Soul believes is the way home. They get there less than an hour.

"Thank the Lord!" Tsubaki praises with her hands in the air, she blushes as everyone looks at her. "Mhm, sorry."

That night everyone goes to their own homes change into their pj's after a needed shower, and eats some nice food.

Blair brushes a strand of hair out of Maka's face as she takes a needed long night sleep.

"Don't worry Maka, you'll get her tomorrow."

Lord Death sits down with all the teachers, "Spirit, it seems like the kids are having trouble fighting Izzy. I think you and Stein should join them."

Spirit shakes his head, "But Sir, as much as I hate Maka fighting this witch, I feel like I'll get in the way and she will get hurt!"

Stein stands up, "But Spirit I think tomorrow is the day the kids want to kill her, so that means we should be there for them just in case someone gets hurts, we'll stand on the sidelines if we have too. The only person who can kill the witch is Maka."

"But she need's Soul to help her with that." Lord Death mentions.

The adults nod in agreement, Spirit sighs at them, "Alright then, let's help kill that witch!"
