Chapter 20: The Grim Reaper
Galorphar thrust his halberd towards Maka as Kid broke threw the wall on his skateboard.
"Maka!" Kid screamed kicked his skateboard at top speed towards Galorphar. The Skateboard hit Galorphar with such a force that even Galorphar was blown backwards into another bedroom. Kid and Lucy landed on the floor.
"See to Black*Star and Tsubaki! Go!" Kid ordered and she ran into their bedroom.
"Maka are you all right!" Kid asked turning to Maka. She looked up to Kid and smiled. Then she coughed up blood onto the halberd that pierced right through her chest and into her heart.
"MAKA!" Kid shouted and ran up to her. He dropped to his knees and held the halberd and pulled it out. Maka screamed in pain. Kid then pressed his hands against her chest in desperation to stop the bleeding.
"You're going to be okay Maka! You going to be okay! We…we can g...g…get some help…. please no…!" Kid cried, tears pouring from his face. Lucy, Black*Star and Tsubaki ran out of the bedroom to see Maka in her bloody mess.
"Kid…", Maka whispered.
"No! You're going to be fine! This can be fixed! This can be fixed! This can be…", Kid stuttered and dropped his head against her. Her blood was seeping into his head and hair. Tears and blood mixing together.
"Kid…it's all right…", Maka whispered.
"No…No it isn't… It's not all right! I lost my father to this bastard I can't loose you!" Kid cried. Maka slowly lifted up his head so she can look into his watery golden eyes.
"You came…your with me now…that's all that matters to me now…", Maka whimpered. Kid grabbed Maka and held her close to him.
"I'm so sorry!" Kid cried.
"I'm…sorry I didn't see you…before the dance", Maka whispered. Kid took her hands while holding her.
"I love you…", Kid cried.
"I…L…Love…", Maka whispered but then fell quiet, her grip on Kid's hand loosened and her heartbeat stopped.
"No…n...n…no!" Kid whimpered holding Maka tightly against him. Tsubaki dropped to her knees and cried, Black*Star held her against him. He too was trying not to cry.
"No no no! Maka I love you please no! Maka!" Kid screamed then broken down into what seemed to be endless crying into her head. Soon Liz, Patty and Crona then came to the wall and jumped in. Liz covered her mouth with her hands and started to sob. Patty turned around and cried into Crona's shoulders, he too was crying. Soon Sid and Spirit arrived at the house and Spirit saw Maka.
"MAKA! NO!" Spirit clambered through the wall but continued to trip over the rubble until he was on the floor reaching helplessly towards Maka.
"My daughter…Maka!" Spirit cried. Sid looked down in grief. Lucy then came into the room and immediately saw the halberd lying on the floor. She ran towards it and hugged it into her arms then saw Kid and Maka.

Stein looked at the mirror in disbelieve as he saw the hourglass run out of sand and the ticking stop.
"Oh no…Maka", Stein said taking off his glasses, lowering his head and holding the top of his nose.

Kid continued to cry into Maka, along with others crying around him. Suddenly Galorphar then walked out from the bedroom he was hit into holding in both hands two halves of the Skateboard.
"How sad… let me play the worlds smallest violin for you", Galorphar said dropping the skateboard. Spirit then charged towards Galorphar.
"You SON OF A…!" he roared but his attacks simply bounced off of Galorphar. Galorphar then blasted Spirit through a wall with a dark red beam from his hands.
"Why don't any of you listen to me? I have brew! I have made it to make me immortal! You can't hurt me and I can never die!" Galorphar explained one more time. Galorphar then turned to Kid.
"Gabriel, there is nothing for you here. You are destined to be at my side. It's time for you to return to me", Galorphar said, extending his hand out towards him. Suddenly a soul came from Maka's chest and floated through Kid and then floated just above his head in one spot.
"Ah yes, a soul for the afterlife. Go ahead and fulfil your duty as a grim reaper", Galorphar then said with a smirk, lowering his hand. Kid then stopped crying. He then slowly laid Maka down onto the ground. Not making a single sound. He then slowly reached up to grab the soul with his right, trembling as he does. Kid then took hold of the soul, but then said something. Just one word that would make anyone tremble in fear.
"…no…", Kid spoke in a very dark and scary voice. Then quickly slammed down his hand and the soul back into Maka's body and suddenly dark purple magic engulfed her and shook her violently.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Galorphar roared.

Stein looked at the mirror violently electrify in purple magic as Maka's hourglass began to refill itself very quickly. The entire Death Room shook violently.
"What! He can't possibly be doing it! It's against everything!" Stein shouted being shook in all directions.
88888888
Kid's hand started loosing it's skin and muscle as it burned away as he held his hand down into Maka's chest. All of her wounds healing up.
"NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT! IT'S AGAINST THE RULES!" Galorphar roared.
"Screw…the…rules…!" Kid roared. The entire house started to shake from the magic being used. Galorphar then charged towards Kid to stop him. Black*Star then suddenly jumped in the way and with Tsubaki and a chain sickle. Black*Star hit Galorphar repeatedly to hit him back until Galorphar finally blasted Black*Star out of the way knocking him and Tsubaki out. Galorphar then charged again but this time was faced with Crona with Ragnarok and Patty holding Liz in her gun-scythe form.
"Bring it on!" Ragnarok said.
"Ragnarok. Scream Resonance", Crona said and Ragnarok's small mouth on the sword screamed and Crona charged to attack Galorphar, hitting him back along with Patty shooting Liz. After a while Crona was blasted to the side and knocked out. Patty then charged with Liz and Patty swapping places so Liz was holding Patty as a gun-scythe. She slashed out at him and he was hit back against the wall, sadly with brew none of the attacks were affecting him. He blasted Liz and Patty out the way, knocking them out. When he thought no one else was in his way he began to walk but then Lucy holding the halberd stood in his way.
"You won't touch them!" Lucy shouted. Suddenly a face appeared on the blade of the halberd with long blonde hair.
"You pay for the blood you've made me spill Galorphar!" the halberd Lewis yelled. Lucy charged and managed to slam Galorphar through the wall and outside. Galorphar rose up outside Sid suddenly shot his hands from out of the ground and held Galorphar still. Lucy then jumped out and slammed her halberd repeatedly into Galorphar. Galorphar kept getting hit down and pulled back up.
"Grrr! I've had enough of this!" Galorphar said then suddenly a soul explosion came from blasting Sid out of the ground and then Lucy into and her halberd into the wall. Her halberd turned into a young man with a red army waistcoat and a white shirt with smart black trousers and long blonde hair and blue eyes. Galorphar then jumped into the room and saw Kid still electrifying Maka. Galorphar was about to charge when everything stopped and Maka gasped for air. She was alive.
"Maka?" Kid said. Maka looked into Kid's eyes.
"K..Kid", Maka said smiling, raising her hand to his cheek. Kid rose his left hand and held her hand to him
"NOOO!" Galorphar roared and charged at Kid with a hidden blade up his sleeve, going to stab the back of his head. Kid turned to see that Galorphar was too fast and he was going to get hit.
CLANG!
Kid then opened his eyes to find out that he was not hit. Confused he turned to see something blocking the way of the hidden blade Galorphar had. The thing blocking it was a red and black blade that came from the left arm of an un-expecting person with white hair and a shark-toothed grin.
"What! YOU! But you! You were! What!" Galorpahr roared very confused and furiously.
"You hurt Maka, I don't like people hurting Maka", Soul said in his usual cool manner.
"How can a mere student block my power?" Galorphar exclaimed.
"I'm no student, I'm a Death Scythe!" Soul shouted and pushed Galorphar away. Soul then charged to slash at Galorphar again but Galorphar quickly grabbed his injured arm.
"AARRRRGH!" Soul roared in pain. Soul's other arm changing back to normal and grabbing onto Galorphar's robe.
"Pathetic", Galorphar said and tossed him outside. Galorphar then turned around to suddenly be grabbed across the throat by Kid. His eyes were glowing a very strong purple, but then black veins appeared in his eyes all leading to his iris colour. The thing is, Kid was actually choking Galorphar, harming him.
"Ack! But...ACK…That's.. Impossible…!" Galorphar choked then turned to look at Soul, who held Brew in his hands giving a shark-toothed grin.

As soon as Maka's hourglass was filled to the brim the hourglass on the right grew as Maka's disappeared. The loud ticking echoing the Death room again. The letters' started to come towards the mirror.
"You made the biggest errors in your life", explained Kid.
G
"You lied to me about my mother"
A
"You were the one that killed her, not my true father"
L
"You made yourself into a warlock"
O
"Expecting to have me enslaved to you"
R
"Don't you know who I am!"
P
"I am the Alpha and the Omega!"
H
"I am the Judge, Jury and Executioner!"
A
"I am Lord Death the Kid! Grim Reaper!"
R
"And your time has come Michael Pendrike!" Kid shouted and threw Galorphar to the ground. Kid walked up to Maka and pulled her up, holding her against him with one arm.
"Don't let go, whatever you do", Kid whispered to her. She then grabbed a hold of him tightly. Suddenly the entire room shook violently and suddenly everything around them changed. The apartment broke apart in a wind to reveal the outside in a dark purple realm where lots of souls flew by them. The entire place filled Kid and Galorphar with nothing but pain and misery. All the lives of the damned giving them a taste of what they are all feeling at the same time. Maka however holding onto Kid didn't feel any of it. Galorphar looked around in a massive panic. Four souls then appeared to the right of Galorphar then suddenly took the form of the four witches at the fortress. Looking onto Galorphar as if they know what's going to happen.
"What is this?" Galorphar screamed in fear. Maka then let go of Kid for a moment then suddenly felt like she couldn't breath and quickly grabbed onto him again. Another soul appeared to the right of him and took the form of Sofia Pendrike, Kid's mother. She looked on at him with pity.
"No! Stop it STOP IT!" Galorpahr screamed holding his ears. The voices of the damned screaming into him, no one else could hear them. Suddenly from the ground a big black shadow began to grow from the ground into the air. It kept growing and growing and growing until it was as big as a tower. Galorphar slowly turned around to see what it was and soon the massive shadow grew two big white hands and a white skull mask, it was Lord Death.
"NO! NO! NOT YOU! ITS NOT POSSIBLE!" Galorphar screamed.
"Michael Galorphar Pendrike…father", Kid said. Galorphar turned around.
"Enjoy the afterlife. May god have mercy on your soul", Kid uttered. Then Lord hovered both his hands over Galorphar and purple lightening came from them and electrified Galorphar.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" he screamed as his skin, muscles and organs begin to blow away like sand off him until he was a screaming skeleton in a robe. Kid extended his right arm and shot a purple ball of magic towards him. On impact Galorphar exploded and he was no more.
"Kid…I…", Maka tried to said. The realm of the afterlife began to affect her. So Kid held onto her and suddenly Death city started to rebuild itself around them, then soon the skies and finally the broken apartment of Black*Star and Tsubaki's. Once the world was back the others reappeared like they were invisible. Maka looked around in Kid's arms.
"Is…is it…?" Maka started.
"Yes… it's finally over", answered Kid. She looked towards Kid.
"I couldn't think of a good Christmas present for you, I couldn't chose between books. So I gave you your life back. Apart from that I didn't want you to…", Kid explained but he was stopped by Maka who gave him a long and passionate kiss. Everyone came too and walked over to see Maka alive in Kid's arms. Maka broke the kiss and held against Kid tightly. Kid then saw Soul standing there watching him. Soul looked down and then turned away and left. Kid then thought to himself. As much as he didn't want to there was still one last thing he needed to do.
He had to leave.
