Maka stood helpless as the Demon Sword wielder raised his blade, ready to end Maka's life. "What is he?" She questioned herself. "Is he even human still?" Her face became ravaged became ravaged by fear. "He isn't anything like Crona." She said allowed without realizing as a tear crept from her saddened emerald eyes.
She fell to her knees as she began to lose consciousness. A feeling of shock came over the Demon Sword wielder with that sentence "Crona?" He said nervously. He dropped his weapon as a black tear fell from his now visible purple eyes. He rushed down to his knees and gripped her jacket. "YOU KNOW CRONA!?" He screamed shaking her awake.
"Yeah?" She said struggling to get words out. "O-of course I know Crona. He is my friend." She almost had to force the words out at this point.
"So he is safe then." He acknowledged in relief, loosening his grip of Maka's jacket which was torn and ruined from the fight.
He then fully let her go as she dropped to the sands. He became more alert. "Someones here!" He said as he looked out for the incoming souls.
"Maka!" Screamed Blackstar.
"Blackstar above you!" shouted Tsubaki to Blackstar.
The Demon Sword wielder was falling towards them at an incredible speed. Blackstar stopped and stepped back. The force of the fall rushed the sand beneath them upwards, blocking Blackstar's vision. An Axe then emerged through the sand. It glimmered and shined as it rushed for Blackstar's mid-section. Blackstar jumped back to evade it. Before he knew what happened, a curved line of sand rose up which led behind Blackstar. Another glimmering blade rushed Blackstar this time rising upwards for his neck. He managed to block it with the chain of Tsubaki's Kusarigama form but the momentum launched the blue haired worrier flying. Blackstar was shocked yet remained composed. He then saw a rising curve in the sand as a glimmering sword rushed round it. "He can predict my fall before even I can!" Blackstar shouted. "This guy is good, but not good enough!" He bellowed towards the silhouette. He used the momentum he gained from the attack he blocked. "Tsubaki, Enchanted Sword mode" Blackstar commanded calmly.
"Right!" responded Tsubaki. "Be careful, He is strong" She said worried about Blackstar's safety.
"Relax." Blackstar said calmly. "I got this." He continued happily. He then steadied himself and swung downwards towards the Demon Sword wielder. He blocked it with almost supernatural precision. Then Blackstar caught a glimpse of the Demon Sword wielder's eyes. They were Beast like and Glowed red with madness which was broken up with a snow-white spider web pattern. The shock loosened Blackstar's grip on Tsubaki.
"Blackstar focus!" Tsubaki screamed, feeling the handle of her sword slip though his fingers. Sensing this, The Demon Sword wielder pushed back as Blackstar re-gripped the handle of his sword. The Demon Sword wielder unleashed a flurry of attacks at Blackstar's weak, each strike getting stronger. Out of nowhere a second sword appeared in his other hand as a black silhouette which tore away to Blackstar's face as he guarded its first attack revealing a dark and shiny blade.
With this block, Blackstar regained his balance and composure. "Got you now you Bastard!" Screamed Blackstar as he lunged for an attack after breaking the Demon Sword wielder's guard. The Demon Sword wielder quickly dodged left and went for Blackstar's throat. Tsubaki's blade shattered as he guarded against the attack which injured his right arm and knocked him to the ground. Tsubaki reverted to her human form with a scream clutching her now broken left arm, coughing blood as she glided through the air. "TSUBAKI!" He screamed as he rushed to catch her as she fell. "Tsubaki, talk to me. Come on. Say something!" He continued worried and angry.
"I'll be fine." She struggled to say while smiling back at Blackstar. "It's just a flesh wound." They watched as he released his blades. They turned into black silhouettes and then shattered into shards of darkness which then faded as they fell in the flickering sunset. The Demon Sword wielder looked towards the fading sunset waiting for the last team to arrive.
"Kid!" Shouted Liz. "Tsubaki's wavelength!"
"I know!" Kid shouted worried for her safety. "We have to hurry!" The Demon Sword wielder had spotted the oblivious reaper and summoned forth a swarm of heat-seeking Shuriken. He activated four. One for each of Beelzebub's wheel shadows. He let them fly. True to their name, the Shuriken tracked and hunted down the reaper. "I hear a slicing sound" thought Kid cautiously to himself. "But where?" One of the Shuriken got too close too quickly. Kid noticed them and began evading the would be killing blades. He then spotted the Demon Sword wielder.
"There he is!" Shouted Liz. Liz then saw Maka and Soul. They were both incapacitated from their fight. Tears began welling up inside of her. As she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "We have to take him out quick Kid. We have no idea what this guy is capable of and I don't want to find out!"
"You got it!" Kid responded calmly. "Don't worry, we will get them all home safe. I promise." Kid said compassionately.
"You think it will be that easy!?" Demanded the Demon Sword wielder as he activated the rest of the swarm. All the Shuriken shacked and vibrated as they hovered above him. His voice then changed to his harsh growl and with a clear and dark voice all he said was. "Kill." As he launched the seeking Shuriken.
"Let's end this fast!" Shouted Kid.
"Let's go," they began in unison. "Soul resonance".
Their voices became rhythmic, like they had practiced it over a hundred. Although, they haven't before tried this while moving on Beelzebub. "Execution mode ready prepare to die." Kid said in a cold and stern tone.
"Resonance stable, noise level at 2.7%." Liz said concerned about the amount of noise.
"Black needle soul wavelength fully charged!" Said Patty happily.
"Preparing to fire feedback in four seconds. Three" Liz said as cold as Kid.
"Two" Patty Recalled.
"One!" Liz Responded.
"Ready to fire!" Said Patty happily.
Kid then jumped off of Beelzebub two get a better shot. When he landed he steadied himself and brought his weapon partners together. "Death Cannon" He then said cold and aggressively. A large bang came from his weapons as the mass of energy shot out all at once as the Shuriken were closing in.
"Hmph" said the Demon Sword wielder as he rose his left arm and lowered his right. "Blade wall!" He shouted. "What!?" He questioned as nothing happened. The cannon fire scored a direct hit, both shots to the chest of the Demon Sword wielder. He then lay flat on the sands, paralyzed from the cannon fire. his vision blurred as he begun to shake. The Shuriken that were following Kid lost their momentum and fell the sands around him.
Kid looked straight into the eyes of this monster and wondered why the Demon Sword wielder's ability didn't deploy when he used it. As kid walked towards him, the Demon Sword wielder's eyes began to change color from a glowing red to a deep purple. As he began questioning further while his curiosity grew for this abomination, a faint voice came from Kid's right. "D-Don't" It said.
Kid seemed shocked to hear it. "Maka!?" he asked looking over his right shoulder. He searched frantically for his love.
"O-Over here." She said.
"Oh thank god!" Kid exclaimed happily.
"Don't kill him." Asked Maka softly.
Kid wasn't even aware that Liz had changed to human form and went to Soul to see if he was okay, Patty then quickly followed so Kid didn't pass out due to a lack of symmetry. "Are you okay Maka?" He asked as he knelt beside Maka and gently held her hand. "Why would you want me to do that? He is clearly infected with madness and insanity?" He then questioned, puzzled by Maka's request. "He nearly killed you for god's sake!" He then stated furiously.
"I'll be fine thanks Kiddy hehe." She giggled. "And wasn't I infected with madness once? Besides, he hasn't consumed a single human soul, not even the Kishin eggs have been touched. He is just scared, wasn't Crona?" She asked softly. A smile crept onto Maka's face as she remembered all the fun times she had with Crona while he tried to fit in with life at the academy.
"Then what do you suggest Maka? I can't let him run free." Kid asked searching for an answer.
"Enroll him into the academy. Your dad let Crona in and gave him a chance to prove himself, and Crona was in worse shape than he is." Said Maka joyfully.
"Your serious?" Kid asked astonished by her answer. Then as he thought about it, he concluded that it would be the best way to watch him while training him to tame his madness. He began to smile "Okay Maka, we will get him enrolled the day after we get back." He said compassionately.
With that, the wounded were taken back to camp along with the Demon Sword wielder. As kid used Beelzebub to carry the Demon Sword wielder while helping Maka to walk across the wasteland. He noticed that the sleeping boy was wearing ID tags one pair of dull tags and one pair of shinning tags, each inscribed with different pieces of information, but nothing Kid could make out at the current time. After a long walk they all made it back safely and laid down while Kid, Liz and Patty administered first aid to the rest of the group. As Kid was tending to Maka's wounds, he couldn't help but notice that Maka was looking very concerned about something while she stared at the Demon Sword wielder, as he seemed to squirm and sweat in his sleep, like he was having a nightmare of some kind. When kid finished with Maka's wounds, she went over the boy to look after him, the Demon Sword wielder seemed to calm down a little while Maka was taking care of him. After a while of looking after wounds and sorting out food, the group began talking about their fights with the Demon Sword. Maka began by explaining her fight and the powers the Demon Sword displayed and added particular emphasis on his eyes and how they seem to show what kind of mood he is in. Kid shared his opinion on this too by explaining how the Demon Sword's eyes changed from red to purple when he was defeated and explained how the Demon Sword was defeated when his ability didn't deploy. They all pooled their curiosity and tried to solve the mystery of the Demon Sword's powers. Eventually they all got tired and bored so they went to sleep. Maka checked the Demon Sword one last time before settling for the night. He seemed to sleep soundly and comfortably so she went to sleep with Kid. All seemed well for a time, the group slept well while the flames of the campfire flickered and crackled, spitting embers upon the moonlit sands.
The Demon Sword then woke up in a fit gripping a sleeping bag that wasn't there a moment ago. His heart pounded as he struggled to catch his breath. He then heard someone shiver in the cold. He looked around and spotted Tsubaki without a cover. So he took the sleeping bag that she left on him and placed it over Tsubaki. He then caught a glimpse of Kid's L.E.D. lit digital watch which had the D.W.M.A. logo on the bottom of the screen. The time display said that the time was five AM. Interestingly, the numbers on kid's watch were made of lots of small eights to prevent Kid from having his facial explosions of blood. The Demon Sword was slightly amused but the watch and took a walk to the tall building Kid stood watch on the night before and sat on the edge of the roof. He pushed his hair back and gazed out to the horizon hoping the light would come soon, he never liked the dark but he could never remember why. Suddenly a sharp deep voice came from behind him "You can't sleep either huh?" The Demon Sword jumped, startled by the sudden voice behind him. He looked back and saw soul walking up towards him from the stairs. "It's not cool but sometimes it just happens, why can't you sleep anyway?" Soul asked calmly with a sharp tone still staring off into the same horizon. The Demon Sword could help but look up in awe at the man who now stood over him, his eyes glimmered a radiant purple as the sun rose in the distance.
He then looked back towards the rising sun. "I don't know." The Demon Sword said almost puzzled by his own existence. "I've just always struggled to sleep ever since I was a kid." He continued looking down in sadness.
"You don't remember much do you?" Soul asked almost astonished by the amount he couldn't remember about even himself. Soul sat next to the Demon Sword and noticed his ID tags. "So whats with the tags bro? They gotta mean somethin' right?" Soul asked with a friendly smile on his face.
The Demon Sword looked down and was shocked to find them, like he never knew they were there. "I didn't even know I was wearing them to be honest with you." He said almost laughing in embarrassment. "They seem to be engraved. I wonder if they have my name on them." He said curiously.
Soul looked at the Demon Sword in amazement and sympathy. "You don't even know your own name?" He asked the Demon Sword, sympathy had all but filled Soul's voice.
"No..." The Demon Sword said sadly, crushed by his lack of memory. He began by looking at the dull pair of tags. One had a three digit number on it and the other had a name. "Zero two five. Karina Gorgon?" He said to himself puzzled. He looked towards Soul, dumbfounded by what seemed to be useless information.
Soul looked just as puzzled as the Demon Sword was. "Well that's a girls name so I don't think it's your name, what about the shiny ones?" Soul asked politely.
The Demon Sword dropped the dull tags while he started to analyse the shiny tags. Again they had the same amount of information, a three digit number and a name. "Zero two six. Kairon Gorgon". The Demon Sword then looked to soul a little more confident that it was his name.
"That sounds like a cool name, way cooler than Karina." He said as he began to laugh.
The Demon Sword laughed with Soul and then sat with a smile on his face. "Kairon." He said to himself. "Kairon Gorgon. It's nice to have a name." He continued happily with a black tear in his eye.
Soul couldn't help but smile for the Kairon. "Living without a name must be hell, especially for a Demon Sword." He thought to himself.
