Soul Eater Brotherhood Part 16
With so much attack, Maka tries to take down Paris but it's useless to attack him. Paris just snickers at them, nobody can touch him.
"This is getting boring" Paris complained, "I'm going to kill you now!"
This frustrates Ed more. How the hell can we beat this guy? He thought at a critical moment Shit this is getting nowhere. Wait...
Ed stares at Tsubaki for moment. That's it!
"Tsubaki!" he called.
Tsubaki turned to Ed, surprised by his voice. "Y-yes?" she said.
"Transform into a chain scythe" Ed begged, "This is important. I have a plan to defeat this wind bag."
Without thinking, Tsubaki nodded and transformed into her weapon form, a chain scythe, and landed into Ed's hands. "Tell me what to do" she requested.
He nodded and faced at Kid's direction, who is shooting Paris long range. "Hey Kid!' Ed called, "Does your bullet emit some sort of heat?"
Kid turned to Ed. "What are you asking at such a critical moment?" he questioned.
"Trust me."
"Yes, it emits heat whenever I shoot because I can compress my soul wavelength and fire at my enemies. What about it?"
"Just follow my league!"
When Ed looks at Paris, he made a funny look. "Hey bad breath!" he called, his voice is comically deep, "Why can't you fight me? Does your wind nauseate yourself?"
This infuriates Paris all of a sudden. "You dare mock the Embodiment of the Winds?"
"Oh yeah I dare" Ed sneered.
"You'll dare pay this for this insult!"
"Yeah? Bring It! Challenge accepted!"
As Paris is about dash, Ed twirls the chain scythe clockwise quickly. He twirls it even faster as Paris approaches him in dangerous speed. But, to his dismay, Paris seems to be absorbed by Ed's unusual whirlwind attack.
"What are doing to me?" Paris demanded.
"Kid now!"
Kid shoots at the chain scythe, causing sparks on the chain. The sparks then turned to flames, causing Paris to burn. But he wasn't hurt.
"Is that all you got?" he asked mockingly.
Ed just smiled. "There's plenty more that came from" he replied, "Al!"
"Roger!" he cried.
Al, in full body armour, absorbs him inside. Al manages to get out before he could get killed by Paris' wind blast. Paris is now in Al's armour, unable to get out; his arms have been handcuffed.
"Let me out!" he demanded.
"I don't think so" Ed said. He points upwards.
"What the-?"
Paris looks up, his face is horrific. Maka is on the air, ready to slash him with a big scythe.
"This is for Black Star" Soul said cruelly.
She slashes him expertly; the armour is sliced into two. Black Blood gushed and a deathly scream was heard.
Paris lands on the floor, bleeding. "D-damn you" he muttered his dying breath, "Even I, Paris the Passionate, can't beat the likes of you. Nonetheless, my brothers and sisters will destroy anyway."
He coughed out more blood, his vision is now fading. "All I wanted is to be passionate of my work. Now... my passions will never cease to exist... even in death."
The body of Paris, along with the armour of Al, disappears into nothingness; the dust of his remains flew into the air. "Your friend ain't dead yet" were his final words, "Too tough to get killed."
Everyone stared at Black Star's body. He was bleeding just now, but now, Black Star looks fine.
"B-Black Star?" Soul said, couldn't believe his eyes, "You're still alive?"
"I've thought you are dead!" Tsubaki said, hugging Black Star to death.
Black Star puffed. "I'm too tough for that guy" he boasted, "Nobody in the world but God can beat Black Star!"
He laughed heartily, only to confuse the rest of the group.
"The guy's an idiot."
"God, why did we save him?"
"This is a waste of my time."
Unknown to them, they were watch by a video camera.
"So it seems that Black Star is even more active" Al remarked.
"Don't get hopes up" Soul warned sheepishly, "Black Star will even get hyper if you-"
He was interrupted by a jolly laugh. "So Al is a fan of mine?" Black Star interjected, "I'll sign those gauntlets of yours..."
He instantly signed not only Al's gauntlets but his face as well. "If you need some more signing" Black Star suggested gleefully, "Black Star is welcome to sign everyone's autograph."
Al sighed; his face is smeared with black marker scribbled in his face, while Soul pats him on the back. "You'll get use to it" he said pitifully.
The group walks down the stairway, talking a little bit.
"Oh your armour Alphonse" Kid complimented, "It's all symmetrical and everything is perfect!"
"Uh... thanks?" Al said, confused.
"Try not to excite him" Liz warned.
"Right..." he said.
By the time they reach another room, the room seems to be the same as the one previously, except the walls have strange claw markings and buts of rubble. What's even stranger is there is black slime dripping from the ceiling and it suspiciously smells like saliva.
"This doesn't look good" Maka said, "Soul, turn into weapon form."
Soul nodded and transformed into his weapon form. The other demon weapons followed his suite and transformed into their weapon form.
Then a rumbling sound was heard. It continues to rumble for a minute before it silenced itself. But a disgusting slurp shivers the spines of the occupants there.
"Hunger..." it said, the tone is disturbingly menacing, like its hungry.
Everyone turns around to find the location of the voice but they couldn't see it. The voice continues to menace them, laughing maniacally.
Suddenly, tentacles, black as night, appeared out of nowhere and smash the floor with such velocity that everyone barely dodges the attack. More tentacles materialized and continued to attack them, followed by an audible moaning-like sound.
With a perfect aim, Kid shoots one of the tentacles accurately, causing devastating effects.
"Good work Asymmetrical Kid" Ed said in a teasing tone.
"Stop calling me asymmetrical!" Kid complained badly.
"P...pain..." it groaned, "M...ust... st...op... pai...n..."
The creature that attacked them appeared above them, clinging on the ceiling. His features are grotesque: his entire body is entirely colour black; his physical features look like slime but his body is actually looks tough; and his head is the most horrifying of all his features, white lightning-like eyes, no ears, bald, and a voracious mouth that could swallow a small creature in one gulp.
He slithers his tongue. "V...ictor t...he vora...cio...s" he muttered, his speech breaks, "Hu...nger... mus...t fin...d f...ood..."
"Hey ugly!" Black Star called mockingly, "You talk dumb. Why don't you talk to the intelligent Black Star!"
Victor turned, only to see Black Star's usual ranting. "O...dd bo...y" he remarked, "No..t wor...th... ea...ti...ng..."
Victor stands up erect, pointing his hand at them. Then, a stream of tentacles appeared behind his back and aims at them. They dodge the attack again but Victor continuously sends his black tentacles at them.
Maka, Black Star, Ed, and Al charge towards him with their weapons ready. They attempted to attack him mercilessly but Victor only absorbs the attack. Instead, he counter-attacks by releasing a barrage of bullet-like pellets at them. Kid shoots Victor at long range, but it's also useless.
"This monster is gross!" Liz shriek in weapon form.
"Squigly!" Patty piped in.
"This is no time for games" Kid said, "We have to do Soul Resonance to defeat this abomination."
"Right!"
As he dodge the last tentacle of Victor, Kid lands on the floor and stands, his twin desert eagles change into twin cannons in an instant. Kid focuses his golden eyes on Victor, ready to aim at him until Victor suddenly disappears by diving himself on the ground.
"What?" he cried.
"Where is that slime ball?" Ed said, trying to survey the area for Victor.
"He could be anywhere" Maka added.
"Kid look out!" Al called.
It was too late: Victor reappeared, showing his supposed "mouth", and swallowed the mystified Kid whole like a snake. He gulps him and smiles at the group, showing his sharp yet bloody teeth.
"Kid... deli...cious" Victor remarked.
"What are we going to do if Kid is not here?" Tsubaki (in weapon form) asked desperately.
Ed bit his lip. "I don't know"
It looks like Ed and the group encountered yet another Seven: Victor the Voracious, the ravenous and the hungriest of them all. How will they defeat this monster without Death the Kid? Find out at the next Soul Eater Brotherhood!
*Imagining Victor is hard than I thought. Try to think of him as Venom from the Marvel comics except more dangerous, more insane, and most of the time, hungry. BTW, try not to overreact when Victor just swallowed Kid just now. Comments are welcome.*
