Rise of the Staff Meister
Chapter 15:
Fight with Medusa:
How well Miley handle this?
"You're a staff meister are you. You don't know how important you are do you? Well then again if you did you wouldn't be here right now would you."
"This has nothing do with me. I don't matter, this really isn't my fight but since the people who's fight this does belong to aren't able to fight I guess I'll have to fight them. So when ever you are ready Medusa."
Medusa laughed. She stared at Miley, she could tell Miley wasn't joking her eyes told her that. That was the thing about Miley her eyes gave her away every time. "You really want to play don't you. Do you think that Stein would really bring children in on his fights?"
Miley looked at the collapsed man behind her. She knew he wouldn't he had even injured her to keep her from coming not that it stopped her for every long. She blinked and she left tears forming at the corners. She looked over to see Marie. She looked back at Medusa. Now it was her fight. She had to fight and make sure they got back safe. She tightened her grip on Mason again. She like the feeling. She was ready.
Stein was going crazy inside his head. His brain was working but his mouth wasn't. He knew Miley couldn't win this fight. He couldn't believe she was going to do this for him. He watched and saw her stance changed. No, this wasn't for him any more. She was doing this for some other reason. She looked back at him one more time. He saw them her eyes he wasn't sure what emotion was in them it was a mix of several.
Miley was ready to fight. "Alright Medusa lets go. It's just you and me. Now I'll make you pay for what you did to him" She knew Miss Marie would be fine. She was worried about Professor Stein. "How dare you, even think you are worth his time. How could you even think he loves you?"
"Oh Stein doesn't know what love is." Medusa said with a laugh. "And how could a child know about love?"
"If you don't think he can love you don't know him very well!" Miley snapped. Stein didn't understand what was she talking about he had said that himself.
"Stein said that himself." She replied coolly.
"The greatest people always short change themselves," was Miley's reply. Stein was impressed she was actually listening to him. He was shocked that she had taken his words to heart. "Well he might now understand love a whole that is true. He's a scientist he has to dissect everything. He may not understand love but he understands everything that makes it up. I can prove that on my own. He knows kindness, compassion, discipline, and protection. He shows love in the pieces maybe not as a whole. You can't really say anything about his understanding of love. You've never seen him with her. He cares so deeply he doesn't have a clue!"
Stein heard every word she said. Every time she said a different word he could see a memory with her. Kindness when he took care of hand. Compassion right after Free's first attack. Discipline when they were in France, when he had sent her to room and when he scolded her for moping. Protection too many times, too many different things just with Miley. It was the last part he didn't understand who was she talking about. Then a long string of flashbacks with Marie. He was brought back from his thoughts by what Medusa said next.
"You make him sound like your father."
Miley looked at her. Her eyes almost blank. "He might as well be, he would be the only one would have ever known. But are we here to talk or are we here to fight."
"Well, I guess we would be here to fight. Aren't we?" Miley flew at Medusa, Medusa retaliated with one of her snakes. "Oh I forgot this is your first fight with me, I should tell you. My whole body is filled this snakes. It's these little darlings that allow to fight."
Miley began dodging vector arrows. She noticed one flying for Stein, she blocked it. Stein would admit Miley was doing very well for her first time really fighting. He wondered how long she would last. He hoped that she could hold Medusa off till the others arrived. Stein knew that her and Mason hadn't come alone. Miley was too smart to do that. He watched her wishing he could do something. He was paralyzed and he couldn't speak.
Miley sighed. 'Not only do we have to protect ourselves, we have to protect Miss Marie and Professor Stein.'
'I know but I would hate to come all this way to have them die on us. We're going to be in so much trouble we might as well get something good out of it. Just hold on till the others get here. You can do that right?' Mason thought rather panicked. 'I don't think I could lose you.'
'You don't have to worry, I'll get out of this. It's after this I'm worried about.'
"You've been quiet lately, you and your weapon saying your good-byes. You may wan to do it quicker." Miley found herself backed into a corner. She took a deep breath.
'Mason we're going to have to take her head on. There is no more running around. We rise or we fall right now!'
'What are our chances? We've been barely been partners and we can barely get our Soul Resonance working.' He asked rather nervously.
'Not very good, but I have an idea. You're going to have to trust me.' Miley said. She was watching the vectors getting closer. She had a thought, she just hoped she was right.
Stein could see Miley. He wondered why she was just standing there. If she waited any longer she was gong to die. Stein knew Miley wasn't ready to take on a witch. Her and Mason had captured barely dozen souls. He knew all he could do was watch as Miley was killed. Then that bitch would go after him again. "Let's go soul resonance!" Stein heard the words but couldn't believe it. He used his eyes to keep an eye on Miley's soul. It seemed to be pushed to it seems. If the resonance rate any higher it was going to ripe her soul to shreds.
Miley waited for the last second. Then jumped on to one of the vectors. She ran along it heading for Medusa. She didn't care what happened to her as long as Medusa was going with her. She felt something slice her side but she kept running. The adrenaline kept her from feeling any pain. Miley swing Mason and slammed hard into Medusa's left side. Medusa lost her form and all was left was her soul. It was purple and shaped like a snake. Miley felt tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe she was still alive. She landed on her feet then fell on to her knees.
"Umm, we won what do we do with the soul?" Miley asked Mason who was holding on to her shoulders.
"Do I eat it?" He asked.
"No, we have collect 99 human ones first, we only have about dozen, you're not ready yet." She said. Suddenly it soul was taken from her hands. She looked up to see Miss Marie smiling down at her.
"I'll take that, I've been looking for this for a long time. Sorry that you guys can't have this satisfaction. She would most likely make you sick anyway Mason but I don't care." She ate the soul. Marie ran over to Stein. "Franken, go god, Franken wake up." She shook him. The shaking told him that he had a least two cracked ribs.
"Marie I've got two cracked ribs, if you keep shaking me you are going to break them."
"Are you alright?" She asked looking at him. The smile she usually wore no where on her face. He didn't like that, he diffidently liked her smile better than what this was.
"Yes, I'll be fine, how are you doing?" He asked feeling around for his glasses. He found the frames. "How did Miley look?" He was trying to act like he has just come around.
"She looked okay, but it looks like she has a wound on her right side. It didn't seem that big." She helped him over. When they reached out she was all ready passed out. Stein checked over the wound it wasn't that big or deep she was really lucky. It could have been a lot worse. After he made her a makeshift bandage out of part his lab coat. There wasn't much of Miley's outside shirt. Mason was carrying Miley. Stein was walking but leaning on Marie every now and again.
They finally reached the others. They didn't seemed to be injured. "It was so strange they all just took off." Maka looked from Stein to Miley. "Wait is she?"
"Yes Maka, Medusa is gone and she is never coming back. Thanks to Miley."
"It rather hard to believe, I mean, she's a first year academy student, who has barely had a partner for eight months." Maka looked at the small girl in Mason's arms. "Not to mention her weapon is so passive."
"Maka, there where a great deal of things powering Miley today. She also lucky to be alive. I don't know what to think about it right now. The only thing I can really tell you that will make sense is that Miley is a Staff Meister."
"But Professor that doesn't make any sense."
Miley felt herself coming back to the world. "Don't sit up. You'll rip you stitches." Miley slowly opened her eyes to find Stein sitting next her bed. Miley began to remember everything.
"How did you know I was awake?" She asked.
"You moved, you don't move when you are passed out." Miley eyes moved around the room and she saw Mason resting in the other bed.
"Is Mason alright?" She asked trying to sit up. Stein but a hand on her shoulder to hold her down.
"He's fine, we just wanted him to rest for a couple of days. Just to keep an eye on him. I told you to say lying down." He scolded, "I don't to have to stitch you back up again."
"Oh, oka..." Miley's eyes fluttered shut. Stein stared at her.
"Miley," He gently shook her shoulder. "Miley, are you okay." He opened her eye to see what they looked like, they seemed blank there was barely life in them. "Miley!"
Miley felt wet grass under her cheek. She sat up and looked around. She knew where she was but she wasn't sure why she was there. She hurried up the path to the pond. She felt the tears forming. She fell to knees. She had been here before. "No, I liked where I was!" She screamed. She fell in to a fit of tears. Miley might have been freaking out but there wasn't sign on her face that there was anything wrong. She finally calmed down. She looked back the way she had come and up the path but it was dark. She never liked the dark. "How do I get back again?" She asked the scenery around her.
