A broken mind is like a broken record.
Stuck in one spot.
Not able to move on.
The record just keeps skipping, skipping, and skipping.
Any tune on a broken record is warped sounding.
It keeps on the same track..
And that's what's happening to Maka.
Her mind is broken.
She doesn't even know how to react..
So she laughs.
Maka can't get past the fact..
That everything went so wrong..
Her mind isn't catching up to the fact..that the demon is standing in front of her with that ghastly grin on his face.
Or maybe it has.
And she's just mad.
Asura's smile grows as he takes in the girl with his red eyes..
Takes in her giggling..and the way her eyes shake with madness.
His madness.
Crona is sharing in the same unknown joke with Maka.
He can't stop laughing either..
His body is shaking in spasms.
Ragnarok is the only one who stands tall..
But his piercing blue eyes are shaking..
The madness is unbarable.
It's to much.
And Maka's mind keeps skipping..
Not able to move on..to get focused.
She's broken.
She's insane.
"It's over girl..Just except it." Asura out stretches a hand, that grin never leaving his face. " You are mad..You are mine-"
"She's not fucking yours!" Ragnarok snaps, his eyes on fire as he gets in front of the giggling girl, his chest puffing up. "I kicked your ass once and I'll fucking do it again!"
"Oh..it's you." Asura's grin falls as he looks at the raven haired boy with those red eyes. " You only got lucky that one time..but now I'm much stronger then you and you know this. You face me but my madness is eating away at your being. Don't try to fight it any more boy..You have been threw so much..what's the point in being sane? Madness is an escape from your fears, from your pain..why fight it then boy? When your existence has been nothing but pain?"
"Shut the fuck up.." Ragnarok growls but..he's panting..
His eyes are shaking worse.
"No matter what you do boy..this girl will die. You can't stop this..and why would you want to? This girl's death is on me..as much as it is on you And Crona. I will make her death quick..painless..but I can not say the same about the snake..and you know this don't you?"
"We're going to fucking stop you! Your not fucking taking her!" Ragnarok bares his teeth, his chest is heaving.
"But you know that's not true." Asura smirks at him when he tenses. "Stop tying to full yourself..it's over. Just give me the girl..look at her..she belongs to me."
Ragnarok doesn't look at her.
He just glares at the demon with those black eyes of hate.
"Why not save yourself? Why care for the girl? Better yet, why even care about the boy? Once Crona dies..you will be set free. Isn't that what you want boy? To be set free?" Asura's red eyes are locked onto his piercing ones.
"Set free to fucking what?" Ragnarok is shaking slightly but he stands firm. "To fucking hell? No, Your not fucking hurting any of them. I will rip you a part!"
"But they both belong to me..look at them..They're laughing they are so happy to see me." Asura's smirk is devilish as he looks back at Maka and Crona.
They're both on the ground laughing..
They can't even get up.
Their bodies are shaking to much.
"No they're fucking laughing like that because your driving them fucking insane!" Ragnarok's voice is getting dark and he takes a step forward.
"I'm not doing anything." Asura looks back at him. "Madness is in everyone boy. It's in you as well. But your fighting it. Why fight me boy? Madness will set you free. You have no hope of surviving with out madness.."
"Come now.." Justin looks over at Ragnarok with that grin on his face..his eyes still red, he stays bowed down before Asura. " You know fighting the almighty Asura is pointless..Your alone in this. You have no hope! Just hand over the girl! It's not lke the witch cares about you! She only cares about herself!"
"What did I fucking tell you?" The raven haired boy takes another step forward. "I told you to fucking keep her name out of your mouth. I'm going to rip that fucking nose off of you Justin, You need to be taught a fucking lesson."
"Oh well..I tried." Justin bows low on the ground in front of Asura. "All hail Asura! The god of madness! It's time for you to take what is yours!"
"Yes..Now come to me Maka Albarn." Asura looks away from Ragnarok to look at Maka.
She stands up..
Maka keeps laughing as she walks closer to the demon..
She has no control.
"Fucking no!" Ragnarok roars as he pushes Maka out of the way, tackling the demon.
The raven haired boy gets a punch in Asura's face before the demon grabs a hold of him.
"..I grow tired of you.." Asura's eyes light up as he hits Ragnarok across the face.
The force sends him flying across the forest
Maka watches the boy hit a tree with shaky eyes..
And a grin on her face.
Her mind is still skipping..
"Now..where were we?" Asura smirks at her as he reaches out a hand to touch her cheek-
Ragnarok reappears in front of her, punching the demon's hand away.
"Don't fucking touch her! Go back to fucking hell!" Ragnarok growls so darkly as he goes to punch the demon again..
"Let me handle this my lord." Justin puts his hands on the ground..
The ground opens up and those scarves come out.
Wrapping around Ragnarok..
The raven haired boy growls in pain as the scarves..catch on fire.
They're burning him.
"Now Maka...come. It's time to go home." Asura smirk is horrid as he out stretches out his hand again.
Maka takes a step forward.
"Maka fucking don't do it! Come on what the fuck are you doing?!" Ragnarok screeches at her..He's still yelling in pain..the fire is burning him..and the scarves are getting tighter but his piercing eyes are on her. "Crona get your ass up and do something!"
Crona is just giggling to himself..laying on the floor.
He is in his own little world.
Maka takes another step closer to the demon.
"Are you fucking serious?! After all the shit we went threw your just going to give in to the fucking demon?! Don't you remenber what this ass hole fucking did to you?! He took you god damn mother Maka don't give in to him!" Ragnarok's eyes are shaking..she can see how much he's in pain right now..
But he's using all he has to yell at her.
Maka pauses mid-step..her green eyes flashing.
"Come one dear..it's ok..it's over..just take my hand.." Asura keeps his hand out stretched.
Justin is grinning from ear to ear.
"Maka no!" Rangaork snaps at her when she took a step forward. "Think of your mother! Think about her! He fucking killed her! Your mom wouldn't fucking want this for you! To fucking die the same way as she did..A mother would never want that. Open your fucking eyes Maka! Think about what your doing! Think about your mother! Think about her!" Ragnarok is panting..he's forcing the words out.
He's getting weak.
The flames are burning him so badly.
Maka stops walking.
The record stops skipping.
"..M-Mom..?" Maka's eyes shake as she grabs her hair.
"Yes your mom! Don't fucking give up you bitch! Think of her! Think of Crona!..Think of me." Ragnarok voice gets weak at the end..his piercing blue eyes getting dull.
He's fading.
Maka's eyes get wide.
Her mothers smile flashes threw her head..
Memories of them at the park..
Memories with her mother holding her..
Her eyes stop shaking with madness..
They shake with anger..a fire burning her being.
This demon is the one who took her beautiful mother!
She can't just fucking give up!
She'll make this ass hole pay!
He's the cause of all this!
"Asura!" Maka screams, her power coming out of her sending the demon and Justin back a few feet.
Her fingers are twitching, her eyes a flame.
She looks over at Ragnarok who is barely there anymore.
Maka points at the scarves..
And the scarves turn to ice, the fire getting burned out.
They shatter letting go of Ragnarok.
The raven haird boy falls on his side..but he forces himself back up.
"..Heh..your back.." Ragnarok gives her a smirk as he grips his burnt up arm. "..I'm glad you decided to stop being a dumb ass."
Maka walks over to him and touches his burns..
Her power leaves her..and the burns leaves his body.
"..You ok?" Maka looks him in his piercing blue eyes.
"That fucking doesn't matter." He glares and looks away..but his eyes..they hold something else. "Stop fucking using your powers! Your going to get that ass hole to show up!"
"What else am I suppose to do?" Maka snaps. "There's no way you can fight Justin and Asura by yourself! You need me and my power!"
"No, what you need to do is take Crona and get the fuck out of here." Ragnarok looks back at her with cold eyes..a cold resolve. "I'll fucking take care of htem."
"Ragnarok we're not fucking leaving you! You can't fight the both of them!" Maka shakes her head.
"Bitch I can handle these two ass holes! You two bitches will just get in my way." Ragnarok pushes her over towards Crona growling. " Fucking go!"
"I'm sorry to say but none of you are going anywhere." Asura suddenly appears between Maka and Ragnarok.
He just touches the boy's face..and he's sent flying back.
Leaving Maka standing in front of this thing alone.
"If you continue to fight me, I'll make you suffer." Asura's eyes light up as he starts to reach out for her..
Maka winces as a wave of madness hits her.
She starts to giggle but she bites her lip.
She can't lose it now.
He killed her mother..
Kami's soft smile flashes threw her head..
Remember her..
"Get the fuck away from her!" Ragnarok roars as he tackles the demon away from her, his fist raining down on the demon.
Asura doesn't look effected at all.
Maka takes a deep breath as she gathers herself.
Her fingers start to twitch..
If she can freeze the scarves..maybe she could freeze the demon it's self...
Ragnarok gets a chunk bitten out of his arm causing him to cry out.
Maka's eyes flash.
She doesn't give a fuck about Kid's dad.
This demon has taken her family once..
He's not doing it again.
Maka points at the demon..a smirk ripping out on her face-
She is tackled.
Maka falls on her back as she's pinned to the ground.
Her eyes widen.
"You can't do that Maka..what did I tell you?" Crona's shaky blue eyes are right by hers.. that large grin on his face as he grabs both her hands..stopping the twitching. "No powers for you! Jeeza Maka I thought I made myself clear!"
"Crona, Ragnarok is in trouble! I need to use my powers or Asura is going to kill us all!" Maka struggles with Crona..
But his grip is tight.
"Oh so you like him that much that you would risk your life?" The boy's lips go in a tight line. " I don't like that very much Maka. He's already dead. Your not. You belong to me..not him..You silly willy!"
Crona's voice is dark..then gets cheerful at the end.
His grin is goofy now.
Bi-polar is all she can think.
"Crona nows not the time to be jealous!" Maka tries to get out of his grasp. "Ragnarok is a part of our family Crona! And he needs us!"
"Oh yeah? But we dont' need him." Crona leans in close..his face dark. "Why is it that I'm not enough Maka? Why do you want him? What did I do fucking wrong?! What? Is it that I'm to sweet? If you want me to hurt you like he does I can!..I can be bad too..I can be anything you want me to be Maka."
His nails are digging into her wrist.
His voice a growl.
When she winces he loosens his grip on her.
"..Or maybe it's that I'm not sexy enough for you." Crona hums as if he's thinking before a perverted smile comes to his face. "Oh I can be sexy Maka~"
The boy leans in clashing his lips against hers.
One of his hands go and grope her breast while the other one slides up her thigh, under her gown.
Madness is hitting hard at her brain again as she moans into his mouth.
This is complete insanity.
But oh well.
Crona is suddenly knocked off of her.
Maka looks over to see Justin glaring at them with his nose wrinkled.
"Do you have no decency?!" The blond boy is fuming as his hands light up with those vertical eyes.
"You just cock blocked me!" Crona screeches as he runs so he's in front of Maka, he's waving his arms in the air. "That's not cool dude! You don't see me trying to cock block you with that nurse-"
"How dare you?!" Justin snaps but his cheeks get a slight pink. "Such a vulgar boy..You have to be punished."
"Then come at me bro!" Crona roars as he hits his chest like a ape.
Soon the pink haired boy charges for Justin..
Crona tackling him before he can summon those scarves.
They're full out fighting.
Maka sits up to look over at Ragnarok.
The raven haired boy doesn't look to good.
Ragnarok has chunks missing out of him..
But he's still fighting.
Maka watches as Ragnarok gets another hit to the face.
She stands up and her fingers start to twitch.
"Stay the fuck out of this!" He snaps over at her as he kicks Asura in the stomach. " Better yet get the fuck out of here! Now!"
"I'm not leaving you behind!" Maka growls as she points at Asura..her power coming out anyway.
"Oh no you don't!" Justin growls as he throws a ball of darkness at her..
"Maka move!" Crona pushes her out the way and takes the hit.
He's sent flying, hitting a tree with a 'oof'.
Maka hears the crack of his skull but ..the pink haired boy is still grining.
"Ragnarok is right for once! Get out of here Maka! " Crona runs past her. " I couldn't live if I lost you~"
"Fucking leave!" Ragnarok screeches in pain as Asura bites another chuck out of him..
They;re telling her to leave but..
Maka watches as Crona punches Justin in the face laughing..only for the blond boy to knee him in the face..
Crona is bleeding.
Maka watches as Ragnarok pants..struggling now just to keep up with Asura.
They can't beat these two.
They're to strong.
They need her.
Ragnarok is biten again..and Crona's skull is cracked against a tree..
Maka's eyes flash.
"I'm not going fucking anywhere!" Maka screams, her power coming out sending Justin and Asura flying. "Your not going to take my fucking family away from me again! Your both fucking dead!"
Maka touches the ground..a smirk on her face.
She doesn't have control anymore.
The ground comes up at Justin's feet, he's able to jump but not fast enough.
Maka throws a chuck of earth at him..hitting th boy hard.
Maka knows she broke some ribs as he falls limp on the hard ground.
That had to kill him.
She threw something like a boulder of fucking earth at him..
"WOOO! Go Maka!" Crona cheers jumping up and down with those shaking eyes. "Lets go Maka she's our girl! She'll throw dirt at you till your fucking dead! Give me a M give me a A give me a K give me a A that spells.." Crona is hopping all over the place before he holds his hands towards her like a show girl. "Maka!"
Any other time Maka would be cracking up.
But this is no time for laughter.
Justin suddenly starts to chuckle..
Maka's face falls and so does Crona.
"It's always the ass holes who can't die huh?" Crona pouts crossing his arms as Justin stands back up..
Completely ok.
"Nice try witch.." Justin grins at her. "..But your nothing..and your time has run out."
"It's over." Asura appears in front of her and Crona..his smirk is evil.
Maka looks over to where him and Ragnarok were..
Her heart sinks.
Ragnarok lays on the floor..his back is to her but..
He looks so faded.
"Ragnarok!" Maka cries about to run to him.
But Crona grabs a hold of her.
"Crona let go!"
"No-"
"Crona stop being an ass hole!" Maka snaps turning on him. "I know your jealous but damn it Crona get over it! He is a part of us! How can you just be ok with him fading away? After all you two have been threw? How can you be like this Crona?! If it was you, Ragnarok would help you! He wouldn't' just let you fucking die like a selfish ass hole-"
"Maka." Crona frowns at her. "..Look."
She turns to where his finger is pointing..
And her face falls..
Oh.
Justin stands off to the side of Ragnarok with his hands on the ground..
He was waiting for her..
If she ran out to Ragnarok..
Both her and him would have been at Justin's mercy..
It was a trap.
Maka can't help but to feel..guilty as she looks back at Crona.
The boy's eyes are watering.
"So that's how you feel about me!" He huffs as he lets go of her crossing his arms. "You think I'm a jealous bastard!"
"Well you are Crona.." Maka sighs at how he glares at her.
"I have good reasons!...It doesn't mean I want him to disappear.." Crona's eyes shake.
"..Crona I didn't mean-"
"This is boring me." Asura takes a step closer. "Come to me girl. Now."
"Fuck you. " Maka gives him her middle finger.
"If you do not listen.." Asura nods to Justin and the blond boy presses down on the ground.
The ground starts to crack around Ragnarok.
"The boy will pay."
Maka looks over at Ragnarok with wide eyes..
It's either him..or her.
"That's not fair!" Crona wails as he charges for Asura.
"Crona no-"
It's to late.
Asura smirks as he grabs a hold of the pink haired boy and throws him..
He hits the ground with a giggle..but his blood is smeared on the ground.
"Crona!" Maka cries out as she watches the boy chuckle..trying to get back up..
Only to fall.
His hand looks twisted.
Broken.
Asura starts to close his hand..
Maka watches as darkness surrounds Crona..about to consume him.
Ragnarok is almost gone.
"P-Please stop!" Maka screams and the darkness stops. "..I-I'll give in to you..just stop hurting them."
"Ah..that's what I wanted to hear." Asura smirks as he turns to her.
He out stretches his hand.
This time Maka walks over willingly.
She's tired of this..
Her body is weak..so very weak..
"Your mother is waiting.." Asura chuckles darkly.
..Mom.
She puts her hand in his..
His grip is tight as his jaw starts to unhook.
He's going to eat her..
He goes down and Maka closes her eyes..
But the pain never comes..
She hears a surprised yelp and a growl of Pain..
Maka opens her eyes to see..Ragnarok standing in front of her..
Asura is a few feet away from them now..but Ragnarok doenst' have a shoulder.
He's fading so much..breathing so hard.
"What did I fucking tell you?!" He snaps as he grabs a hold of her. "..I said you can't fucking give up..I told you to fucking run..You can't fucking die ok?..You just..can't..fucking..die.." His grip gets weaker and weaker..
Till he falls to the ground in front of her..
His eyes are closed..
He's barely there.
Maka leans down and touches him..only able to heal one wound before Justin knocks her away from him.
Crona catches her..his blood getting on her gown as he holds her close to him.
"..T-This isn't good.." Crona pants..his eyes shaking still but..she can see it's him now. "Y-You need to get out of here..t-the madness is to much for me..a-and I keep losing control..M-Maka I'm not going to let him take you.."
"Crona I can't leave you! Your are going to die!" Maka grabs a hold of him, shaking him.
"..T-That's ok.." He smiles sadly at her..the blood at the corner of his mouth. "I-I will gladly die for you.."
Maka sees that emotion in his eyes..and it hurts her.
"Now go you crazy kid!" Crona giggles again as he pushes her to the side and starts to march over to Asura and Justin. "Hey butt faces! Let's fucking dance!"
Crona's grin is large.
Maka's eyes are shaking..
She's out of breath..
She's tired.
Btu she knows Crona can't handle them.
Mad or not.
Justin chuckles as he sends Asura's scarves on him..
Crona moves past them with ease..before he kicks Justin in the face.
The pink haired boy grins at Asura.
The demon is grinning back.
"I think I will claim you as well.." Asura purrs as he grabs Crona by the face..
Crona tenses but he can't move.
Asura is hit by a rock.
It shocks him enough that he lets go of Crona..the boy moving away from him in fear.
"Get the fuck off of him.." Ragnarok pants..he's not as faded from her healing him. "He's my fucking bitch."
Crona looks over at him with something flashing threw those pale blue eyes.
"Why do you care for him? " Asura looks over at the raven haired boy and smirks. "If he dies you will finally be set free..you won't be stuck to him anymore."
Crona bows his head.
"I don't fucking give a shit about that!" Ragnarok snaps, his voice dark. "You don't fucking touch him or her! Your fight is with me ass hole!"
Crona lifts his head up..looking at the other boy with..his eyes slightly lighting up..
With realization..with understanding.
"..Y-You don't care about being stuck to me?.." Crona's eyes shake.
"It fucking pisses me off but what ever! I'm stuck to you and your fucking stuck to me. " Ragnarok snaps. "So you can get the fuck over that Crona! You can't get fucking rid of me!"
That's when Crona smiles..it's so small but it's there.
"..I-I never said I wanted to.."
Ragnarok's glare falls as he looks at the boy.
"U-Uh guys..."
They look behind them to see Maka about to be touched by Asura.
Both boy's faces fall to a scowl.
Ragnarok roars as he charges for Asura, tackling the demon away from her.
Crona punches Justin in the face when he saw he was about to help Asura.
Ragnarok fights the demon and Crona fights the bastard.
And they're both fighting for her..
They are working together this time..
Not just fighting alone..
But fighting together.
Maka stands up..her heart starting to lift in hope..
Maybe they can do this..maybe everything will be ok.
Maybe they can destroy Justin and this demon once and for all.
When her fingers twitch..
Ragnarok and Crona give her a look.
And she stops.
They don't want her a part of this..
But soon everything falls apart.
Justin gets the upper hand on Crona..
And Asura bites into Ragnarok's chest..
Ripping the place where his heart would be out.
Maka watches in horror as the hole catches on fire.
Ragnarok is in deep pain.
This time..when Asura hits him..and he falls to the floor..
He doesn't get back up.
"Ragnarok!" Maka's cry dies on her lips as the demon turns towards her.
It's smirk is devilish.
"It's over now!" Asura appears right in front of her.
"No it's fucking not!" That voice screams as her power goes out..
A explosion happens between them and both Maka and Asura are sent flying.
Maka hits her back hard against a tree..she's panting.
Ragnarok doesn't move..
Crona is still struggling with Justin.
Maka is barely awake now..
Her body hurts..
Asura reappears in front of her..
He doesn't even have a scratch on him..
But he has a smirk.
And she hates it.
"..Time to say good bye Maka.." Asura's hand is close to touching her face..his hand lighting up.
"M-Maka!" Crona cries out and tries to run to her..
Only to be held back by a grinning Justin.
Crona's eyes are panicked..he's thrashing against the other boy to get to her..
But it's no use..
It's over.
After all she's been threw..
She failed them all..
Mom..
Her eyes widen and with the last of her strength she points at Asura..
Only for her hand to catch on fire..
Maka screams as she puts it out with dirt..
Shit.
A rebound.
She's at her limit..
It's over..
Completely.
She failed.
She failed Crona.
She failed Ragnarok..
She failed her mother..
Maka stares up at Asura..
The demon's smirk is ripping his face..
He knows it's over.
He knows there's nothing they can do..
She is his.
It's all over with.
Maka has excepted it..
Mom...
Crona is crying now.
Ragnarok is still laying on the floor.
It's over..
She failed.
A single tear falls down her face..
She's sorry.
Just when Asura is about to touch her..to seal her fate..
The demon is knocked back by a force..
And so is Justin.
Maka and Crona's eyes look over at their savior..
Maka feels sick.
Medusa stands by her side now..her cold yellow eyes glaring at Justin.
"Asura.. this isn't your time." Medusa speaks a chant very lowly..
The blond boy starts to scream..and Asura fades away.
..Just like that.
"You have been very troublesome Justin..it's time for you to die." A large smirk rips out onto her face..her serpent tongue coming out to lick her lips.
The boy gets up to run..
But Medusa points and he's stuck..
"I'm going to cut you to pieces and feed you to my snakes.." She pulls out a scalpel and starts to walk towards the boy..her smirk so large.
That's when a ax flys threw the air.
Medusa stops so it barely misses her nose.
Her concentration must of been broken..because Justin runs away.
"Messing with little boys Medusa? that's so like you." A bubbly voice chuckles.
Maka pukes in fear..
Not him.
Shit not him..
Maka looks over where the voice came from..her heart is beating so face.
The mayor stands before them..his voice was bubbly..
But his face is serious..a fire in his eyes.
He stands alone..no Kid.
Maka is only a little bit relieved at that.
"Oh it's you.." Medusa turns her attention on the man..her eyes becoing more focused.
"Howdy~" He gives her a smirk before his eyes fall on Maka. "Well hello Maka long time no see huh? To bad I'm going to have to kill you..Well it's not bad at all really.."
His voice is getting darker...his fire growing.
"..You hurt my son. I won't let my boy end up like me..with a witch playing his heart! No, I will kill you so he doesn't have to deal with that..My poor boy couldn't even make it out here..your time is up Maka."
Her teeth are chattering.
"The girl is mine." Medsua gets in front of her. "If you wish to have her you must kill me first. I suggest you go back home."
"Not with out her head~" The mayor grips his axs..
He's glaring Maka down.
"Crona..take Maka to our new home.." She looks over at him..and her eyes light up..
Crona's eyes light up and he grabs his head.
"Go now." Medusa walks closer to the man. " I'll take it from here."
" How could you do this to my son? After everything..after all this how could you?" The mayor takes out a cross..one being around his neck. His voice is not so bubbly anymore.
His burning eyes are locked on her.
Crona limps towards the trembling girl..She has to catch him..
He's weak and so is she.
Maka can't look at the mayor anymore..
It's to scary.
He's a threat..
And he reminds her of Kid.
Reminds her of how things use to be..
Reminds her of a time when she use to say at this man's house..he made her cookies..he was at her mother's funeral.
Now he's here to kill her..
Staring at her with hate.
Because she is a witch.
It can never go back.
"It's not Maka's fault that you and your son are fools.." Medusa smirks as she takes a step forward.. her hair moves a little as a strong wind blows past them. " What kind of witch hunter can't tell two witches have been taking residence in your town for years..better yet, you couldn't even tell the girl was a witch when she stayed at your home...I thought you were better then that..but oh well."
Medusa's eyes flash..her smirk is so large.
"I've been waiting for this moment for so long..It's over for you...i'll finish what your wife started."
The mayor's eyes flash at that, his teeth are grinding as he brings out another ax.
He means business.
"Oh no you don't! Your not going anywhere!" The mayor growls when Maka and Crona grab a hold of Ragnarok..
Maka feels a power surround them..
They're fading away.
The mayor runs towards them..
Medusa snaps her fingers and the man is sent back..
Not before he throws at ax straight for Maka..
They disappear fight before the ax impales her face..
All she sees is darkness now..
She feels Crona's hand in hers..and Ragnarok's in the other..
But their bodies are spinning..
The force is to much and they end up being separated.
Maka is in pain..
Her hand hurts so much..and her head hurts..
She doesn't know what's happening..
But she wants it to be over with.
Maka stops spinning.
The darkness gives way to light.
Maka's eyes are closed..but she feels she's laying on a hard surface..
She opens her eyes..looking around groggily..
She's in..a mansion?
It looks like one at least..it's huge..
Maka takes in the stairs with the red carpet..takes in all the old pictures of angels and the marble floors..
..Why does this place seem so..familiar?
Maka doesn't have time to think about it as her eyes fall on the pink and raven haired boys beside her.
Her breath catches.
Crona lays on his side..
His blood is soaking the floor..
His face is pale..and frozen in a grimace.
Ragnarok's eyes are closed..and he's almost gone..
Maka tries to get up only to cry in pain and fall back down..
She's going to lose them.
Ragnarok is almost gone..and Crona is bleeding to much.
She can't lose them.
They are all she has left..
She's not losing her family..
After all that shit..
No.
She refuses.
Maka crawls towards them..grinding her teeth at the pain..
She's barely conscious herself..
But she has to save them.
Ragnarok is almost faded away...he barely has any of his body left.
He's in pain and so is Crona.
Her chest is tighten in panic as she keeps forcing herself closer to the two..
"Your out of power.." That voice pants. "It's useless.."
Maka won't hear that.
She stops beside the two..
Maka puts her hurt hand on Crona..and her other one on Ragnarok's forehead.
"...You can't leave me.." Maka closes her eyes..
Crona is barely breathing.
Ragnarok is seconds away from being gone.
It hurts so much she tears fall down her face..
But her power comes out.
Maka feels her hands burn..
Another rebound.
But that's ok..
"Your a fool." That voice sighs as Maka falls down between the two boys..
Both her arms around the two boy's necks..
She's in too much pain.
It all goes dark.
..What the fuck?..
Ragnarok groans..his head hurting like fucking hell as his eyes open..
Everything is blurry for a moment..but it hits him..
..Is he dead?..
Wait that doesn't make fucking sense.
"M-Maka!" He hears Crona's voice beside him..
..Maka..?
Ragnarok jumps up, his eyes getting focused as he remembers..
The fight..the demon..pasting out..
He fucking failed.
His chest tightens in that fear he hates as he looks over beside him..
Crona is holding Maka in his arms..looking at her with those shaking blue eyes..
He looks close to tears.
Ragnarok takes the girl in..the first place he looks is her chest.
It's moving..slowly it is but it's moving..
She's alive..
He can't help to sigh in relief..
But then he takes in her state.
Maka is pale..and her hands..
They're both fucked up.
They look like they were caught in some sort of explosion..
One is so bad..he can see the bone of her finger.
He feels a deep anger burn him as he looks down at his body..
Not a fucking scratch..
This bitch..
Why does she fucking do this to herself?
Why does she fucking hurt herself for him?
He is already dead.
Doesn't she get it?
Doesn't she fucking understand?
Ragnarok's piercing blue eyes take in their location..
They are no longer in the forest..but in a mansion.
"Crona.." Ragnarok looks over at the other boy who is still holding the girl with such care. "What the fuck happen when I was out? Where's the demon? Where the hell are we?"
"..I-I don't know..M-Medusa sent us here...she took care of the demon.." Crona's voice is shaky as he looks down at her hands..then down to his..
He frowns deeply at the hand that use to be broken..but isn't anymore.
"That bitch actually showed up?" Ragnarok grinds his teeth. "Why fucking help us now when she wasn't trying to the whole time at the asylum?"
"..T-The witch hunter showed up.." Crona mumbles as he moves a piece of hair from the girl's face gently.
"You got to be fucking kidding me!" Ragnarok is fuming. "But of course he fucking showed up!..Maka had to use her fucking powers because Medusa didn't fucking help us till last minute..What the fuck is her game?"
Ragnarok punches the floor when he looks at Maka's hurt hands..
His chest is tightening up.
He is so fucking pissed.
Crona doesn't respond to him as he gently rubs Maka's hair..
Trying to comfort the clearly in pain girl.
"..M-Maka healed us.." Crona takes a deep breath.." She's hurt badly Ragnarok..what are we going to do?"
Ragnarok looks over at the girl's chest again.
It's barely moving.
Her face is frozen in a grimace..
And god does he hate it.
He hates everything about this.
Ragnarok looks around at where they are..
This place is huge..
It would take him forever to search the place..
And he doesn't want to leave her side.
He has a bad feeling in his gut..well if he had one.
He doesn't want to leave them.
"I don't fucking know. Don't look at me." He snaps.
"..B-But Maka.." Crona's eyes get watery.
"Don't fucking cry. That's not going to do anything." Ragnarok gets closer. "Just fucking keep her head up..and put your hand on that cut to stop the blood..You have a fucking body, I don't, so don't just cry about it. It doesn't do shit."
Crona bites his lip when it started to quiver and does as the other boy said.
Maka's breathing is a bit steadier as he readjusts her body.
"..See?" Ragnarok moves a piece of hair that got in her face..
He wishes he could feel her now..wishes he could help her.
But he can't do shit.
And that pisses him off.
This whole thing pisses him off.
This is all fucking Medusa's fault..
What the hell is she planning?
Ragnarok glares off into space for a moment before he realizes he's stroking Maka's cheek..
And that Crona is staring at him.
"What?" Ragnarok snaps.
Crona tenses and shakes his head quickly as his eyes skit away to look down at Maka.
They're silent a moment..the only thing that can be heard is Maka's uneven breathing.
"..I-I'm sorry.." Crona's soft voice breaks the silence.
Ragnarok looks over at the other boy..his pink bangs are covering his eyes.
"I-I'm sorry for all those things I said to you..f-for being a jerk.." Crona continues when he doesn't say anything. " I-I'm not going to sit here and blame it on the madness..I-It was me just being jealous..and I s-shouldn't have said those things to you Ragnarok. I-I'm sorry."
"I don't know why the fuck your jealous." Ragnarok glares away from him..a deep scowl on his face. "You said it your fucking self. I'm dead. I don't have a fucking body. I can't even fucking feel her. It's not like I'm a fucking threat, so get over it. I know you don't want to share her with me..hell I don't want to fucking share her with you but isn't this what she wants? All of us to fucking be together? So get the fuck over it and be grateful for what you have! Be grateful that you have a fucking body, that you can fucking feel! you have nothing to be fucking jealous about..nothing at all."
His voice is bitter and he knows it.
He can't look at Crona.
He's getting pissed off just thinking about it.
Ragnarok feels Crona's gaze on him now.
He grips his fist.
"..Ragnarok.." He hears the pity in Crona's voice.
Oh, he's about to fucking snap.
" Y-You just don't understand.." Crona continues, his words are slow. "..I-I might have a body but I can't do anything with out you..y-your the strong one..t-the brave one..a bad ass..and M-Maka likes you...I-It's hard for me to deal with this when I know how you feel about her..how you want her all to yourself..y-you might be a ghost..y-you might not have a body..b-but your more of use to Maka then I am..y-your more of a m-man then I am..y-you can protect her..w-while all I can be is your body.."
Crona takes a deep breath when Ragnarok looks over at him.
The pink haired boy looks nervous, his gaze shifting everywhere.
" It's true your a bitch but.." Ragnarok runs a hand threw his black hair. "You fucking threw your own punches during the fight. That was all fucking you. You fucking fought your own battle. You can be fucking brave..and you can hold her. Get over your self. It's not like you don't want her all to yourself! I know if you had the choice you would fucking get rid of me! Stop acting like it's only me!"
His eyes catch on fire, his chest puffing up.
"I-It's true I'm jealous of you..and t-this thing with you and Maka upsets me but..I-I don't want to get rid of you.." Crona shifts a little as he looks down at Maka. "..I-It just hurts me..after all this time..y-you were never around before her..but now your here all the time. I-It worries me to know..t-that if you did have your body..t-that if you weren't stuck to me..y-you would try to take her from me..y-you don't want to be a part of us..j-just her."
"Look, just because I fucking want something doesn't mean I'm going to do it." He snaps. " And stop thinking about what ifs' and think about right now! I am fucking stuck to you, I don't have a body, I'm dead. I can't take her so stop fucking stressing."
Crona bows his head..his bangs covering his head.
" Y-You still don't get it do you?"
"Get what?" Ragnarok glares at the boy.
"I-It's not just the fact of you taking Maka..I-It's the fact you don't want to be a part of me! Y-You don't want to be a family.."
Ragnarok's glare falls when Crona looks over at him..his blue eyes on fire.
"So go ahead and say something smart! Make fun of me! B-But I want a family..I-I want to be cared for..I-I don't want to know you would just leave me..t-that you would just take her and leave me alone!"
Ragnarok stares at him a moment.
His face is blank.
"..Your such a dumb ass Crona." He glares at him again. " Your such a needy bastard."
Crona glares away from him but Ragnarok can see he's hurt.
"We are a fucking family." He growls causing Crona to look over at him surprised. " Can't you fucking tell? If I didn't fucking care about you I would have left your ass! I would have let that fucking demon kill you! Then like he said I would have been set free but I didn't did I? No, I fucking stood by you. You piss me off so fucking much! What the fuck do you want from me?"
Crona stares at the fuming boy..
A small smile comes to his lips.
"..T-That's all I wanted Ragnarok.." He looks down at Maka. "..I-I understand what she was saying now..I realized when we were fighting Justin and the demon..I-I need you..and you need me..and we need her..w-with out you I wouldn't be able to protect her..a-and with out me you wouldn't be able to protect her either..I-I know I'll still be jealous..I-I still won't like this..b-but I can deal with it knowing that a-at least you care some what about me..t-that you need me, like I need you..t-that together we are protecting her...t-together we are a family.."
"Yeah whatever." Ragnarok snaps and glares looking away. "Stop with the gay stuff. It's making me sick."
But it's not really.
Maybe deep down he likes thinking he has a family again.
But he wouldn't let it show.
It's bad enough he told Maka he cares about her..
Now fucking Crona.
When did he become such a bitch?
"O-Okay.." Crona gives him a small smile..a knowing smile.
It's silent between them..
But it's a comfortable silence.
There's no tension.
Maka's breathing is even now..
Like she knows what just happened.
Ragnarok looks back at her..
Her face is still pale..and her hands are still fucked up.
Crona is frowning again as he rocks her back and forth..his eyes are starting to water.
Ragnarok is getting pissed off.
What the hell are they suppose to do?
This bitch-
Medusa suddenly appears in front of them..her yellow eyes taking them in with that cold look.
Crona tenses at seeing her..his eyes shaking more..
Ragnarok glares darkly at her.
"M-Medusa, Maka is-"
The woman walks over and touches Maka's forehead..
Her hands heal..and the color in her face returns.
Crona lets out a sigh of relief as he holds her closer..
But Ragnarok's glare doesn't fall.
"Excellent work you two..you did it." Medusa smirks as she looks at the two boys. "..It's only a matter of time before we wrap all of this up."
"What the fuck are you planning on doing to her?" Ragnarok stands up, his eyes on fire. "Do you want her to die? Why the hell did you tell me to tell them to jump when you knew I couldn't catch them? She would have died if she didn't use her powers! Why didn't you fucking help us?"
"That's the point." Medusa chuckles. " I knew she would use her powers..this worked out completely as I wanted it to."
"What the hell are you talking about? You told us to make sure she didn't use her powers! Your not making any fucking sense!" Ragnarok is getting so pissed off.
"I told you that just so I could see what you could do Ragnarok..and I'm very impressed." Medusa gives him a knowing smirk. "You pushed yourself beyond your limit for the both of them. That roar you gave off when you thought they were going to die..was very interesting.."
She chuckles and his face falls to the deepest scowl.
She was fucking toying with them.
That's all they are, toys.
" I knew you three would have trouble with Justin..I knew the plan would be a failure..and really I'm surprised it took Crona and Maka jumping off the building for her to use her powers. It was all so very interesting to watch." Medusa smirks. "I wanted her to use her powers..because I wanted that man to show up..killing to birds with one stone if you will."
"Why didn't you fucking help us with Justin and the demon? Maka was almost fucking taken!" Ragnarok knows his face is red from his anger..he knows she can see how pissed off he is.
And she's fucking smirking at him.
"Well I wanted to see what she could do by herself.. I wanted to see her limit." Medusa shrugs. "And I was waiting for the witch hunter to come..but it seems you and Crona weren't strong enough to hold them off long enough. So I had to step in. I was a bit disappointed at that. I thought you were stronger Ragnarok."
"You!-"
"But don't worry..this girl isn't going to die." She looks down at the girl and Ragnarok pauses.
"Y-Your not going to hurt her?" Crona looks at up at her hopefully..he's holding Maka against his chest.
"Of course not.." Medusa chuckles. "She's much to valuable for that..no don't worry. I have bigger plans for her."
Crona frowns and Ragnarok grips his fist.
"Maka has had a long day..Take her to the guest room for tonight." Medusa nods her head to a door on the right. "Tomorrow I will give her a proper welcome to her new home..to her new life..as my daughter."
Crona looks away at that..his eyes getting glossed over.
"We have much to do with her.." Medusa crackles. "This is the beginning of the end."
She smirks over at them as she fades away.
"Get some rest the both of you..your going to need it."
Then she's gone.
"This fucking bitch!" Ragnarok punches the ground, his breathing is jagged. "..She knew the hole fucking time..she was fucking using us..toying with us.."
"..L-Let's get Maka to bed.." Crona puts Maka's arm around his shoulder.
Ragnarok moves and puts her other arm around his.
They stand at the same time.
She's limp against them.
They're finally out of the fucking asylum..
But it doesn't feel like a victory.
If anything..they're some place worse.
Ragnarok doesn't know what's going to happen.
What Medusa is planning on doing with Maka.
And neither does Crona.
But they're here.
They're here together.
And right now that's all the fucking matters.
Crona and Ragnarok work with each other to carry the girl carefully towards the room..
Together.
But the raven haired boy's chest is till tight.
He knows this isn't going to end well.
It can't.
He wants to not care but he does.
He cares a lot.
And it's pissing him off.
Medusa doesn't want to kill her..
But then what does she want?
There's more to it then this..
And he knows it.
She wants something more then her just being her daughter..her heir..
He can see that dark glee in her eyes every time Medusa looks at Maka.
And the fact that she would risk Maka's life just to see what she can do..to see what he can do..
Says it all.
Is she fucking lying about not killing her?
And this whole demon situation..
It's all to much.
And it's pissing him off.
"I-It's going to be ok.." Crona speaks..but it's to himself. He's trying to reassure himself.
But Ragnarok doesn't believe that.
And neither does Crona.
This can't end well.
And they both know this.
Their hands are stained red.
So...this is the beginning of 'season' three..the last one I believe. of course I don't know how much longer this is going to be..but i'm already close to 40 chapters! this is a crazy long fanfic! i'm also thinking about..well I guess it depends on how I feel but a sequel to this story. but that's wayyy in the furture!
Ok so Ragnarok and Crona had a talk..which was much needed. it's till not going to be perfect but it's going to be a little bit better between them.
So please review! thank you again for all your support! And it makes me happy to know that this story has the most reviews out of all the croma stories..hopefully i'm converting more people to Crona x Maka :) they need more love! and apparently i'm converting you guys also to Maka x Ragnarok..lol I never thought I could do that.
Till next time:)
