Morningnight: Hello again people of soul eater world!
Kat: Hey people!
Morningnight: Here is another lovely chapter for you all!
Kat: But sadly no cookies, *turns to morning* what should we give them?
Morningnight: Well, I am eating animal crackers with a hazelnut spread if they want some of that. I also have a giant triple chocolate cake behind me that I made earlier today. We could also through Soul at them and see want happens.
Kat: *grabs piece of cake* Well I think if we threw them soul it would be more entertainment for us
Morningnight: I know, that's why I suggested it. You do the disclaimer? By the way, that cake ain't free...
Kat: We don't own Soul Eater, if we did we wouldn't be on here now would we? Well then you shouldn't have said that it was there *takes bite of cake*
Morningnight: Well, fine, you can have it for free because you were nice to give me my juice box last time, and plus, I can't eat this giant cake alone. *drops head* why did I even make it that big?
Kat: Do you really want me to answer that question or do you want to start the story?
Morningnight: *in Chrona's corner poking at mushrooms* Just start it I guess
Kat: *rolls eyes* Ok let's start! Oh and morning, catch *tosses juice box*
Morningnight: *catches* YES!
Maka stood on a small round platform, looking all around her. She was in a strange room that had walls that looked like the sky outside, the only difference, was the fact that it was night outside and sunny inside. In front of her was a large mirror that was made of what looked like a bronze metal. A skull decorated the top.
"Hiya, Soul-kun, what's up?" said Lord Death himself. This was the first time she had met him in person, but she's seen him in photos that her parents had shown her. It looked like he had not even aged- although how could you tell with his mask? "Who is this wonderful girl with you?" He asked as he bent down and got in her face. Maka took a step back at the closeness, but did not say anything.
"I wanna make her my partner." said the boy next to her. She now knew his name was Soul since that was how Lord Death addressed him.
"Hey, I never agreed to that!" Maka yelled, turning her attention to the boy as she realized what he had said. He took a side glance at her and asked. "And?"
"And?" Maka repeated. "And you can't just go making decision on your own! What if I don't want to be your partner!?"
"Well its kind of late for that, don't ya think?" Soul asked as he turned to face her completely.
"No I don't!" Maka yelled at him as she stomped her foot on the ground. "Just because we were able to defeat a Kishin this time, doesn't mean we will next time! Plus, our soul wave lengths might clash! Just because we were lucky this time, doesn't mean anything"
"I think you are over thinking this" Soul said as he sighed to himself. "From what I saw, you know how to fight Kishins, even though you don't want to think that. Not to mention, our soul wave lengths worked fine! You were able to hold me without a single problem. As for the luck thing, I don't think there is such thing. I need a partner that can get the job done and I know you can. Plus you have to admit, we were pretty awesome."
"Did you drag her here against her will?" Lord Death interrupted, and Soul rubbed the back of his head nervously.
"Uh…well…ya see…" He started, trying to come up with an excuse. "I refuse to partner with anyone else than her" Soul stated strongly as he looked up at Lord Death. Maka just stared at him.
"Why?" Maka asked him, wanting to know before she decided whether or not to leave. Soul looked over at her and smiled. "Because you're the only person cool enough to be my partner" Maka dead-panned. He was right though, she had to admit, even though she didn't want to
"So, what will it be?" asked Lord Death as he watched the two. They both looked at him.
"I guess it couldn't hurt" She said as she sighed to herself. "I, Maka Albarn, would like to enroll in the DWMA as Soul's meister."
"Alrighty then." Lord Death said as he stood up straight and clapped his hands together. "You will be placed in Stein-san class with Soul-kun. Now, we just need to fill out the paper work, and everything will be fine. Soul-kun, why don't you wait out in the hallway for a minute?"
"Alright" He said as he turned towards the exit. "See ya in a minute."
Maka watched as he walked away before turning to Lord Death and smiling. "So, what do I have to sign?"
"Nothing really."
"Huh?"
"I just said that to get Soul-kun out of the room for a minute." Lord Death said, suddenly sounding serious. "Are you sure you want to enroll? I am not saying you can't but with everything that is going on with Asura…."
"Wait, you know about that?" Maka asked, surprised.
"Oh course I do." He said. "If you think entering this academy will help you..." He trailed off.
"Sir with all due respect, I have done nothing but hide from that damned Kishin for two years and I would like to start living my life" Maka said before looking down at her feet and continuing. "Also even though Soul is reckless, stupid, and can also be bossy at times, if enrolling here and being with Soul means that I can grow stronger, then I want to." She wanted to grow stronger, no matter what.
"Okie-dokie. But you have to do something before you can enroll here." Lord Death said as he leaned in close to her. "We have to make sure you and Soul-kun can use resonance. This means that you will have to prove you can be Soul-kun's meister."
"And how do I do that?"
"I want you to go to Stein-san. He's one our teachers who can test yours skills out, and make sure Soul-kun goes" Maka nodded her head as she smiled at him before turning around and walking out.
As Maka walked down the hall of The Death Room and out into the hallway where Soul was supposed to be waiting for her, she thought about what Lord Death had said. Would they be able to do resonance? What if they can't? Would that mean that she wouldn't be able to be Soul meister, or attend the academy at all for that matter?
Maka walked through the door and looked down the hall to see Soul a few feet away, leaning up against the wall.
"Hey" Maka said as she walked over to him. He nodded to her before pushing up off of the wall and starting to walk away. Maka went to catch up to him and they walked in silence for some time before Soul decided to break it.
"So Ma-ka" He said causally. Maka glared at him for the way he pronounced her name.
"Yes Soul-kun?" Maka asked in the same way he had.
"So uncool." He muttered to himself.
"What is up with you trying to be cool?" She questioned. Soul stopped walking and frowned at her as he put his hands in his pocket.
"I'm not trying…" he paused, before a smirk appeared on his face, showing his sharp teeth. "I just am!" Maka dropped to the ground. What was with this guy?
"You can't be serious." She said as she stood up and brushed off her skirt. He just smirked at her before turning and continuing down the hall. "We need to be more serious if we want to pass Mr. Stein's resonance test!" She said as she caught up with his. Soul stopped suddenly and turned to her with wide eyes.
"Resonance…test…with Stein?" He asked, looking scared. Maka nodded, looking at him questioningly. Soul gulped before turning away and muttering. "And I thought I could avoid him today."
"What is so bad about Mr. Stein?" Maka asked as she followed the now nervous Soul down the hall. "I mean he is a teacher, so he can't do anything too bad, right?"
"You'll see." Soul said as he stopped in front of a door. Maka looked up to see a silver plate on it that read:
Franken Stein.
"Hello" Maka called as Soul pushed open the door. No one answered. "Mr. Stein?" Maka asked as she stepped into the dark room. Soul moved in next to her, the only light being one from a lab table lamp that was on. It lit up most of the room, so Maka could still see where she was going.
"Where is that old coot?" Soul asked as he stepped into the room behind her. Maka shot a glare at Soul, who ignored her and walked over to one of his book selves that held some jars filled with a strange liquid. Maka just sighed as she wondered over to Stein's desk and noticed a book on it.
"Dissection is an Art." Maka read, questioning if this teacher was actually sane. A shiver went down her spine as she placed the door back down and looked over to Soul. "Lord Death said that he would be here." She stared at the jar Soul was holding, which had something floating in it.
"So, should we wait for him?" Soul asked as he put the jar back on the self.
"I thought you didn't want to see him?"
"I don't but I guess we really don't have a choice." Soul said as he put his hands back in his pockets.
"But-" Maka started, but was cut off by someone screaming, "BOW TO YOUR GOD!"
Yesterday 7:06PM
Maka and Soul both looked up to see a boy with spiky blue hair and a chain-scythe in his hand. Suddenly, he jumped down and landed directly in front of Maka, who screamed in surprise and grabbed the book behind her on the desk. She then slammed in down on his head, knocking him to the floor. The chain-scythe that was in his hand glowed and transformed into a tall girl, who kneeled down next to the boy.
"Blackstar!" She yelled. "Are you okay!?"
"A god like me can't be defeated by a flat-chested girl like that!" Blackstar said as he stood up and smiled at the girl with a goofy smile. Maka just glared at him.
"Well hate to break it to you Blackstar, but that 'flat-chested girl' just kicked your **." Soul laughed as Maka turned her glare on him. "Don't look at me, he said it!" Soul put his hands up in defense as he took a step back. When she ignored him and continued to glare at him, he decided to change topic. "The boy over there is Blackstar and the girl is his weapon Tsubaki"
"Hello." Tsubaki said as she offered Maka her hand. Tsubaki had her long black hair up in a pony tail that traveled down her back. Her outfit was a simple tan dress with a slit up the side of her leg and a yellow star on her chest.
"Hi." Maka said cautiously as she took Tsubaki's hand and shook it. Blackstar and Soul started to talk about something Maka could care less about as Tsubaki spoke up.
"Sorry we scared you, but Blackstar is training to be an assassin." Tsubaki said with a smile.
"Well he sucks at it." Maka replied flatly, and a sweat drop appeared on Tsubaki as she said. "Well, we're working on it. What's your name?"
"Maka Albarn. I am Soul's new meister." Maka said as she introduced herself.
"Really, Soul Eater's?" Tsubaki said, sounding happy. "That means we'll be hanging out together!" Maka looked at her questioningly. "Oh! I didn't mean you have to. I just meant that since Soul and Blackstar hang out all the time, we will probably see each other a lot!" She explained hurriedly and Maka smiled.
"Sure let's be friends!" Maka chirped happily and Tsubaki smiled back.
"Aw isn't that sweet!" chimed in a rough voice from the doorway. The four students turned to see a man with grey hair and what looked like to be a screw sticking out of his head walking over. His yellow eyes glimmered in the light behind his oval glasses.
"Uh…Tsubaki transform!" Blackstar called. Tsubaki nodded her head before waving to Maka and disappearing into her chain-scythe form.
"See ya Soul, good luck!" And with that, he jumped through the closed window that was in the room, in turns shattering the glass. Maka gawked at it before turning to Soul.
"Why did he just do that!?" Maka asked.
"'Cause he's crazy." Soul said in a matter-of-the-fact voice.
"Is everyone crazy like him?" Maka asked as she looked back at the window.
"Like him? No. Crazy? Yes." Soul replied. The man behind them cleared his throat, making both Soul and Maka remember that he was there. They turned to see him staring at the both of them.
"Are you two ready for my test?" He asked as the cigarette in his mouth hung out.
"You're Mr. Stein?" Maka questioned as she looked him over. He was wearing a white lab coat over his sweater that looked like it had been torn apart and sewn hastily back together.
"It's Doctor Stein and yes I am." He replied as he pulled over his wheeled chair and sat down in it backwards.
"Okay, Dr. Stein" Maka glanced at Soul, but he seemed to be ignoring the both of them. She sighed before continuing. "Yes, we're ready for our test."
"Good you have a five second head start." He said plainly as he took the cigarette out of his mouth and looked it over with his eyes lazily. "You may begin."
Maka crocked her head slightly in confusion and as she was about to ask what he meant, Soul grabbed her hand and pulled her out the door. Maka stumbled before quickly regaining herself and running after him as he dragged her down the hall.
"Soul what are you doing?" Maka stumbled behind him, trying not to fall.
"Taking the test, duh!" He ran around the corner and kept going, not stopping to explain.
"But Dr. Stein is back there!" She pointed as she looked over her shoulder.
"Yeah, and what is your point?" He asked her as he dragged her down another hallway. Maka opened her mouth to say something but Soul cut her off. "He is our opponent. In order to pass the test, we have to fight him"
Maka thought back to what Stein had said and suddenly understood what Soul was taking about. She looked over she shoulder as she shuddered that the thought of fighting that man.
"Hey, he's not anywhere in sight, so would you slow do-" Before Maka could finish her sentence, Soul stopped suddenly, making Maka ram into him. "Hey why did you-?"Maka looked over Soul's shoulder and found Stein standing there, playing with a cigarette in his mouth.
"You two are pretty slow." He said as he looked down at the two of them like he didn't have a care in the world.
"Are you ready to show off our skills?" Soul asked as he looked over his shoulder at her, smirking.
"I guess we don't have a choice." Maka said. She took a step out from behind him. "Soul, Transform."
Soul suddenly began to glow before transforming into a scythe and landing in Maka's hand, who twirled him around a bit before going into her fighting stance. "Hey Soul?"
"Yeah Maka?" He replied as the eye on the scythe looked down at her.
"What happens if we lose this fight?" She said, not taking her eyes off of Stein.
"Oh, I'll answer that," Stein interrupted. "Lord Death gave me permission to experiment on you two if I win." He said as he smiled down at them. Maka and Soul both gulped loudly at the thought.
"Guess we should win then huh?" Soul said. Maka just nodded her head. "Think you can keep up this time?" Soul teased her as he watched the nervous expression grow on her face.
"Who got knocked into a building within the first five minutes of the last fight?" Maka replied smugly.
"So not cool Maka," Soul said as a sweat drop appeared. "Watch out!" Soul yelled when Stein appeared next to Maka. Maka quickly dodged but just barely. "Focus, will you!?"
"Holy! How can he move so fast?" Maka yelled as she dodged another one of his attacks. He was barely giving her time to think.
"You should focus more on me, then your problems with Soul." Stein said as he shifted his weight on his left foot and took out his cigarette to blow a puff of smoke. He then put the cigarette back in his mouth before taking a step forward and appearing right in front of Maka. "Otherwise, you will leave yourself wide open." Before Maka could dodge, he had his hand on her stomach. Maka flew backwards and hit the wall behind her, clutching Soul in pain.
"Maka what are you doing? You weren't this slow with that Kishin earlier!" Soul yelled at her and she glared at him as she tried to catch her breath.
"Well the Kishin couldn't send out his wave length, now could he!?" Maka had heard about this from her parents before they had gone into hiding. It was rare a technique that very few meisters knew, though it was obvious that Stein had mastered it.
Maka thought over her situation: she needed to beat Stein and at least perform one successful resonance with Soul. If she could do that, then she would be able to stay. Maka pulled herself up and ran at Stein full speed. She swung Soul at his head, but he ducked out of the way and grabbed her left leg, flipping her upside down and holding her in mid-air. She held Soul in one hand and kept her skirt from flipping down with the other. Soul watched as she struggled to do this as he tried to think of a way out.
"Got you!" Stein laughed maniacally.
Yesterday 7:07PM
Maka took this minor distraction to use her right leg to try and kick Stein in the face, but he just put up his free hand to stop her. "Ah, ah ah, it's not nice to kick people."
Maka smirked. "I would never kick someone in the face." She paused when he stopped laughing. "It's too easy!" and with that, she took soul in both her hands and rammed the top of the scythe into Stein's stomach, then using her right leg, she propelled herself out of Stein's grasp.
"Soul, let's resonate now!" She yelled.
"Right." He replied, his reflection in the blade showing a smirk.
"Soul Resonance!" They yelled together; as Maka felt power suddenly start to flow through her. A small wind picked up around them, whirling around her and soul as the power she felt within her started to build up. By the time she felt it reach its limit; the wind around her was whipping her blond hair around her face. In her hands, she felt Soul slowly growing bigger and bigger, and when she looked up, she saw that he was no longer the small black and red blade he had been before. He was now a large blade that wrapped around her, glowing brightly.
The sound of clapping distracted her and she turned to see Stein, standing there with a smile on his face.
"Witch-Hunter, very good, you pass." Stein said as he walked over to her. "It is a powerful technique, but as you see, it can drain a lot from you." As they broke the resonance, Maka felt all of her energy drain and she collapsed to her knees. She dropped Soul next to her as she used her hand to keep her from falling anymore before she readjusted herself against the wall behind her.
"I'm exhausted" she complained grabbing her stomach "Did you have to hit me so hard with your wavelength?" She questioned Stein as she looked up at him.
"That was cool" Maka heard Soul say and he slid down the wall next to her, back in his human form. She sighed.
"Welcome to DWMA, Maka Albarn" Stein said with a smirk, ignoring Maka's question, before walking down the hall and away from the two students.
"This place is going to be the end of me" Maka muttered as she let her head fall back on the wall.
Morningnight: Well here is the second chapter everyone!

Maka: Don't eat her cake!
Soul: Why not it's free, right?
Morningnight: Not really.

Morningnight: Well no, but anyway. I want to ask a question everyone I am sure wants to know.
Maka: And that is?
Morningnight: Soul, did you see Maka's underpants when she was upside down? I know she was holding it up, but she let go at one point.
Soul: Well...ah *looks away* This is some good cake.
Maka: Answer the question. *Holds a book up*
Soul: A cool guy like me would never look at something like that.
Morningnight: yea right
