Maka's POV:
I woke up with my head throbbing for the seventh time that day, last I checked it was still late morning. My chest and sides were in terrible pain, breathing only make it worse. I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth, thinking about the things going on around me. Last I remembered was waking up to that snake woman saying something about a sea serpent over head before I fell back out of consciousness.
Now I woke up not ten minutes later to sounds I never expected to hear in real life. They were the sounds you would only hear in movies. Loud screeching that sang bloody murder and made you shiver. Roars that bellowed and could be heard for miles.. The sounds of clanging metal and tearing flesh, screeching of pain and spouts of rage. There were human voices too, some feminine, others masculine, all giving out battle cries and words I did not understand, like "oni" and "kishin".
My breathing started to grow rigid as the pain increased and my mind began to grow hazy again. I fell unconscious again, but not before I heard the breaking of chains and feel myself being lifted of the ground by strong arms.
Soul's POV:
The battle had started the moment she snapped her fingers and disappeared into the shadows with her two main companions standing by her side. Eruka and Free. The moment she snapped her fingers the oni charged, and so did we. They snarled and hissed, we gave out a loud battle cry. Weapons transformed to be of use to their Meisters. Since I currently had no Meister and Arow was currently tearing through the throat of one of the beasts who guarded Maka, I was on my own. I transformed one of my arms into the blade of my scythe form and began slashing at any beast that came my way. Blood spattered the ground as my blade cut through them like butter.
I looked around to see how my companions were doing. Kid was using Patty and Liz to keep the escape route clear. Black Star and Tsubaki took out any oni on my left and Arow on my right while I charged ahead to reach Maka. Kid looked cool and calculated as he search for his targets. Black Star looked like he was enjoying himself as he flung Tsubaki around in her star form and taking down anything in her path. Arow looked like a feral animal as she attacked with razor teeth barred and tearing into any monsters flesh that dared try their luck. Blood coated her white fur in her face and chest, I doubt any being hers. I on the other hand had nothing inside but determination to reach Maka's slumped form.
I had finally reached Maka with Arow close behind shielding me from anything that was coming with her outstretched wings as I worked the chains that kept Maka from escape. I checked Maka's condition, her breathing was raged and she was covered in dark bruises and deep cuts. She was awake but her head began to slowly lower itself showing that she was loosing consciousness. I made quick work of the chains with my scythe arm and lifted her up into my arms bridal stile. She was limp in my arms but she was breathing. Each breath sounded like it hurt. If only I could see her face. But it was currently covered and it was best that it stayed that way for now. Imagine the shock of seeing monsters, wolves with dragon wings, people that turned into weapons and blood that stained every part of the ship all in one go. She'd be traumatized.
I turned and began to run to our escape route, Arow still shielding me with her wings as I ran ahead. I handed over Maka to Kid the moment I reached him. The Thomson sisters safely tucked away. Kid quickly moved over to Arow's side and got on her back, securing Maka between his Chest and Arow's head. I shifted fully into a scythe and Arow grabbed me and fastened me between her teeth. Arow Stretched out her wings and took flight soaring over the deck and out of reach of the oni. She turned and looked down scanning the deck for Black Star and Tsubaki. She spotted them fighting off a small crowed of oni and began a small dive. Black Star saw his que and wrapped Tsubaki's chains around his neck in one swing. He found an opening in the crowd and ran, jumping off the deck with his arms outstretched and grabbing Arow's front paws.
"YAHOO! That was great. We should do this more often! That was too easy." Black Star chirped loudly.
yeah. I thought. Too easy.
No one noticed the large grin of a certain woman larking in the shadows of the Sea Serpent.
Maka's POV:
Suddenly all the pain I was feeling for the past couple of hours just vanished. I opened my eyes to find myself in a white room. I slowly lifted myself up and saw I was in what looked like a large infirmary. My eyes stretched wide and my head began to ach in confusion. Where am I? How did I get here? What is going one?
The door swung open and the oddest looking man walked in. I've never seen anything like it. He wore a lab coat but his cloths and skin were covered with stitches, to top it off he had a giant screw in his head. He looked like a living Frankenstein, like the one you read in stories. He looked up from his paperwork and directly at me. He had a cigarette in his mouth.
"Ah, it seems your finally awake. Looks like Arow and Kim got you all fixed up. Do you still feel any pain? Headaches? Nausea?"
"Uh. No mister... um-"
"Stein. Frankenstein. And you?"
Okay wow. I so called that one. This is just getting weird.
"Maka."
"I see. Do you have a last name Miss Maka?"
"Um. No. Well I don't know. I don't really have any recollection of my past before a year ago."
"Hm. I see. Well Miss Maka I hope-".
The door opened again and Mr. Stein stopped mid sentence. We both turned our heads to see who this new person was. It was a boy. He was tall and wore a black sute with horizontal stripes. But what caught me the most was his black hair with three horizontal stripes only the left side and his golden eyes. The golden eyed boy looked at me and gave me a small tender but sad smile. Then he turned his head and looked at .
"How is she." He spoke.
"Just like anyone that wakes up in a strange place". He answered.
"Sigh. Well things are just going to get stranger." He said this more to himself then to anyone else as he shook his head. Mr. Stein just raised his brow.
"Soul plans on having her take the test."
"Right. So you came to pick her up?"
"Yes."
I looked at both men as they spoke as though I wasn't here. What was the test? Who is Soul? What is flipping going on!? I heard a clap which jolted me out of my concentration.
"Alright then." Mr. Stein began. "Miss Maka meet kid. Death the Kid." I looked at the boy again who gave me a slight wave. What was up with these names?
"He will be taking you up to the deck to await your sentence."
What! Sentence? What did I do? before I could ask my arm was grabbed by Death the Kid and we were out the door with a Mr. Stein waving us goodbye.
I was brought into daylight and saw that I was on a ship. Not just any ship, a huge cruse like ship. The sky was clear and the ocean stretched on for miles. Death the kid hadn't said a word since we left the infirmary and continued to pull me behind him and into a large crowd were we were greeted by various emotions. None positive. Some looked sad, or like they were pitying me when I walked past. Others sneered and glared at me. Nearly everyone looked to be around my age. But they looked strange. Some looked like average teens, others were either very tall or very short. Some had strange hair color. I just passed one who had PINK hair. But in all, none of them looked like they wanted me around.
When we got to the center of the crowd Death the Kid tuned to face me but avoided my gaze. He put his hands on my shoulders and forced me down and sit on the floor. The gathered people backed up to give me some space and Death the Kid went to join them. Everyone went silent except for the foot steps that I heard coming towards me from behind. I fought the urge to look to see who it was and put my head down instead, my long hair hiding my face. The footsteps stopped and I could see black shoes in front of me through my hair. I Stiffened when a deep gravely but oddly ear catching voice spoke just above me.
"So this is our guest?"
"Yes Captain. She's the one." I recegnised that voice to be Death the Kid's. So this was the captain, the monster in the stories.
"What's her name?" He asked. He knelled down and I could just see his knee. He was wearing black pants.
"Maka sir."
Suddenly his hand came into view and went under my chin. He lifted my chin up and I was terrified with what I saw. Red. He had bloody red eyes that pierced my soul and pure white hair that lay wild and untamed, the only thing keeping it together was a black head band. I noticed before I saw his face that he had an orange shirt on with a black jacket overtop. He had a near bored expression on. His eyes were almost droopy. but then his face twisted into a wicked smile reveling deathly sharp teeth. I was afraid. But what scared me the most is that he looked oddly attractive to me. He spoke and told me what I feared.
"Maka huh? Well Maka, my name is Soul, Soul Eater and this here is my crew." He got up to introduce the crowd. He then snapped his fingers and the ship began to change. Instead of looking like a cruise ship it shined and suddenly shifted into a large black pirates ship with large black sails and white skulls decking every corner. My eyes widened and I looked at Soul Eater who was looking at me with a large toothy grin.
"Welcome to the Black Dragon."
Me: Just review please. Im to tired. Arow is sleep already.
Arow:No im not.
Me: yes you are.
Arow:No im-
Me:Shhhh. Sleep.
zzzzzzz.
