Chapter 7: Secrets Revealed
The ginger girl was left alone in a cold dark room, sitting on a chair at a table. Only one window behind her and it had three vertical bars. She looked around confused and a little scared, only remembering she fell asleep in a cage and woke up in this room. She wore a blue and whit stripped T-shirt, blue denim trouser and trainers. The doors suddenly started to unlock and slowly open. The girl took the chance to make a run for it out the door but ended up running into Stein. She backed away quickly frightened by the man with the screw in his head. He moved to the side to reveal Kid. He walked into the room and Stein shut the door behind him.
"Hello", Kid greeted the girl.
"Hello", She replied back cautiously.
"What's your name?" asked Kid.
"What's yours?" the girl asked back, inspecting Kid.
"I asked first", Kid said.
"Yeah, but your not the witches that held me. And since I've been through hell I'd like to know first who I'm talking to", the girl answered back.
"Hmm, very well, my names Death the Kid, but you can call me Kid", said Kid.
"Death the Kid? THE Death the Kid?" the girl asked.
"Yes, now I've said my name what's yours?" asked Kid.
"…Lucy…Lucy Evans", the girl answered.
"Lucy, well do you know why you were taken by the witches?" Kid asked.
"I wasn't, I was taken by they're master, Galorphar. He took my boyfriend…. My weapon…I went to try and get him back…but he beat me and gave me to the witches to be they're new play toys", Lucy explained.
"Do you know where we could find Galorphar?" Kid asked.
"I…I don't know", she said.
"Think really hard, I must find him", Kid stated.
"Why?" Lucy asked.
"Because he is the one that killed my father. He is also in possession of the magic tool Brew and with that he can cause unimaginable chaos. So think really hard and tell me where to find him", Kid said, glaring at her. She then spent a while thinking to herself, until finally turning towards him.
"When he got me he was near a fortress, west of Death City", she said.
"That helps, we are out to get this monster, we will also find your boyfriend and save him", Kid said turning to leave.
"You'd help me?" Lucy asked.
"Too many people already have suffered from this man. I will end him", said Kid. He knocked on the door and Stein opened up. Kid walked out the room then stopped.
"Your not a prisoner here", Kid said and turned down the corridor. Lucy then began to walk out but Stein grabbed her wrists.
"However we need to check if you don't have anything magical inside that could be used against us", Kid then said. Lucy struggled.
"Once the good doctor has check you and your all clear you can freely walk the premises. You can trust him", Kid said, leaving. Lucy looked up to Stein who gave her an insane looking smile. He began to drag her by the wrists with him. Her futile attempts to break free all ended with a tug and a mouse like squeak from her.

Maka and the rest of the girls were heading back home with bags of shopping. They were chatting perfectly fine crossing the basketball field until Maka accidentally bumped into someone.
"Oh I'm sorry", Maka apologised looking up to the man. But she was met with a tall man with Black hair reaching to his shoulders hanging behind his ears and with a moustache and beard reaching from the sideburns to his chin, growing out. He was in a red and purple robe with black gloves and boot. The one thing that got Maka's attention was his fiery green eye. The man looked down to her with an evil smile.
"That's quite all right little girl", he said, raising his right hand to push her chin up to raise her head.
"Youth, running freely in this city and eyes of emeralds. I can see how he likes you", he said. Tsubaki stepped in and hit his hand away from her.
"Leave her alone you creep!" Tsubaki spat out. The man merely chuckled.
"As you wish, I bid you good night death scythes, Maka", he said with an evil grin and turned to leave walking towards the DWMA.
"Hey! How do you know us!" Tsubaki yelled, but he ignored her and continued onwards. Maka used her soul perception to see his soul expands to nearly the entire city.
"Uh oh…", Maka said. Suddenly the man jumped in the air and started to fly towards the academy.
"We've got to go after him", Maka said and the girls went running after him.

Kid was in the Death room looking at his mirror when Stein entered the room.
"How was her check-up?" Kid asked.
"Well she had a magical tracking spell on her which was quickly removed, apart from that she's all clear", Stein confirmed.
"Tracking spell?" Kid asked, but then Spirit came running into the room.
"There's a guy flying towards the academy, and his soul waves are as big as a hundred people", Spirit yelled. Kid's voice and look darkened.
"Galorphar…" he muttered. At that he charged past Stein and Spirit out the room.
"We've got to get him away from Kid! Quickly!" Stein yelled to Spirit and both went running after him.

Maka and the girls arrived at the academy and had to fight through many students to get to the front. The man was standing in the middle of the stairs leading up to the academy. Suddenly Kid emerged at the top.
"Are you Galorphar, yes or no!" Kid roared at him, his eyes then bright glowed purple.
"Yes or no!" Kid roared again. The man grinned.
"Yes", he replied.
"Then die!" Kid roared and pointed his arms at him, shooting purple beams at Galorphar, engulfing him in the purple magic. Kid kept this up for a god thirty seconds before he stopped the beams. The smoke slowly began to clear revealing Galorphar, unharmed.
"Oh I'm sorry, didn't things go to plan?" he asked. Kid growled and suddenly shot from his hand purple balls the side of cars at him. Bombarding Galorphar with the purple balls. But like before he was unharmed.
"I grow tiresome of this now", Galorphar said. Kid was about to shoot another beam towards him but Galorphar jumped forward and from his hands a Silver Halberd appeared with green runes on the blade. Galorphar swung the Halberd at Kid and sliced his stomach, sending him flying backwards.
"Kid!" Maka screamed and ran past Galorphar to Kid's aid.
"Lord Death!" Stein shouted and with Spirit in his scythe form he charged at Galorphar and swung Spirit at him but the blade bounced away from Galorphar.
"What?" Stein said, backing away.
"Forgetting this?" Galorphar said, sliding his hand down the neck of his robe and pulling out a necklace that has 'Brew' on.
"Brew!" Spirit shouted.
"Yes, brew is designed to fulfil the bearer's its greatest desire. Well mine is to not be harmed. Ever", Galorphar said with an evil cackle.
"I'll change that!" Kid roared and shot his beams out at Galorphar again, Maka moving to the side of Kid, avoiding the beams.
"Why are you back here? Wasn't killing my father enough! Why are you here and why have you ruined my live!" Kid roared at Galorphar. He stops the beams and let the smoke clear to see Galorphar unharmed, looking at him.
"I've come to take you back to my side Gabriel", Galorphar said.
"What did you call me!" Kid roared.
"Don't listen to him Kid!" Stein shouted.
"Gabriel, that was the name your mother gave you, not Death the Kid, what that reaper gave you", Galorphar said.
"You don't know my mother!" Kid roared and shot the bombardments of purple magic balls at him again.
"Yes I did, and that Grim Reaper never gave you the chance to know! He took you away from her!" Galorphar shouted over the bombardments. Kid stops.
"Lies!" Kid roared.
"Gabriel, Death came to your mother, killed her and took you away from her…and me!" Galorphar then said. A gasp from the students echoes the academy.
"That's the most pathetic lie I've heard!" Kid roared.
"Your name is Gabriel Pendrike, your mother was called Sofia Pendrike and I am Michael 'Galorphar' Pendrike. Your father!" Galorphar roared, making sure everyone in the city heard.
"LIAR!" Kid roared and shot more beams at Galorphar. But Galorphar charged right through them and suddenly impaled Kid with his Halberd.
"Kid!" Maka screamed.
"I shall leave now, but I will have you by my side again son, just as your mother would have wanted", Galorphar said with an evil grin. He then turned to Maka.
"Look after him in the meantime", Galorphar ordered Maka, she answered with sending a punch to his face, but her fist bounces away. Galorphar chuckles but pulled the halberd out of Kid and turned away.
"I shall return for him!" Galorphar yelled then suddenly jumped in the air and flew away. Stein and Spirit ran towards Kid who was bleeding heavily.
"We need to get him to the medical room immediately, someone get Mila!", Stein shouted. Maka held onto Kid's head, crying her eyes out, she rested her head on his and looked out to find the girls at the front of the students gathered. She then looked then found Soul also at the front looking at her. He sighed and turned away, walking into the sea of students.
"Maka, we need to take him now, Maka!" Spirit said, pulling her off Kid.
"No let me go!" she protested but Spirit held her away as Mila and Stein put Kid on a stretcher and took him away.
"KID!"
