A/N: Interesting greetings there and XYGirl2019 is here, and I would like to thank everyone that read the 28th chapter of the Multiverse Adventures While Riding On A Bus.
Anyway, enough chit-chat and let's do a dumpster dive with this story!
Disclaimer: With the exception of several OCs and concepts, I don't own anything.
After hearing the loud sounds of a battle, Crona Makenshi, Eddy the Scammer, Genma Saotome, Happy Masks Salesman, Pit, Ragnarok Makenshi, Ranma Saotome, Ryouga Hibiki, Ryuuko Matoi and Shampoo ran towards the source of the noise before reaching the epicenter of the clamor.
The group crouched down behind a towering pile of molten rocks, their breaths shallow and their pulses racing as they peered over the scorched stones, they beheld quite a sight: three figures, bathed in the fiery glow of the lava-filled battlefield, standing firm against a horde of Lava Golems. Two of these brave souls had their weapons drawn while the third figure stood behind them, sweating nervously from both the heat and the current situation.
The first figure is a teenage girl with an average height and a fair complexion, she had a slim frame and a petite chest, she had a light toupe hair tied in pigtails fashioned by skull-motif hairbands and she had green-colored eyes. She wears a black-buttoned trenchcoat over a yellow sweater vest and white-collared shirt with a black & gray-striped necktie, she wears a red & black plaited miniskirt, white socks, black boots with buckles and a pair of white gloves. This is Maka Albarn.
The second figure is a teenage boy with an average height, he had a muscular build and a fair complexion, he had a bright blue spiky hair with star-shaped spikes and he had green-colored eyes. He wears a black sleeveless muscle shirt with a funnel-like collar and gray scarf, he wears white & black baggy trousers, a pair of black & white rubber shoes with star motifs, a pair of black fingerless gloves and a gray strips wrapped around his midsection. This is Black Star.
The third figure is a teenage boy with a tall stature, he had a lanky build and a fair complexion, he had a soft yet spiky brown hair and he had rown-colored eyes. He wears a white-collared uniform shirt with a dark-blue necktie, black trousers and a pair of white & blue rubber shoes. He wears a pair of goggles around his neck area. This is Taichi "Tai" Yagami.
The Lava Golems, monstrous creations of the volcano's wrath, moved with a surprising swiftness for their size and their molten forms flowed and shifted, making them almost impossible to pin down.
"Ya-hoo!" Black Star yelled out loud, "I'll turn these guys to dust in the blink of an eye!" he boasted.
"Calm down, Star," Maka scolded, "I'm not so sure these critters will go down that easy." she pointed out while wiping the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand, "It's like a sauna out here." she described.
Tai clenched his fists tight, "Man, I wish Agumon was here to help." he muttered to himself while looking around frantically, "What on earth are we gonna do?!" he exclaimed in panic.
With their backs against the wall and the fiery menace of the Lava Golems looming before them, Black Star and Maka had no other option but to summon their courage and charge into the fray. Meanwhile, from his vantage point, a safe distance away, Tai could do nothing but watch and his heart racing as the two friends he made in this mess, faced the daunting challenge ahead.
On the other side of the battleground, Crona, with wide eyes and a racing pulse, recognized the unmistakable figures of their allies amidst the chaos, "It's Black Star and Maka!" they exclaimed with their voice filled with a mix of relief and excitement.
Ragnarok nodded in response, "Indeed, it truly is them." he confirmed and yet the gravity of the situation quickly snapped him back to the present, "But as much as I'd love to bask in the joy of seeing them, we can't just stand here!" he bellowed, "We have to go and help them!" he urged with his words were a stark reminder of the peril they all faced.
"The Halloween prop is right." Eddy replied while adjusting the buckle of his trusty belt which is a subtle gesture that signaled his readiness to leap into battle, "Reunions can wait." he affirmed, "Our priority is to fight alongside them and show these monsters what we're made of!" he beckoned.
And so, with a collective roar of determination, Eddy's group, minus the enigmatic Happy Masks Salesman, launched themselves into the melee to provide much-needed backup to Black Star and Maka. Each member's heart pounded in their chest, and their adrenaline spiking as they prepared to face the searing heat and unyielding might of the Lava Golems.

Black Star plummets from the heavens and nails a lava golem with a fierce axe kick to the noggin, sending it crashing down to the earth below. He quickly switches to his Uncanny Sword and with a flourish, he commands it to call forth a bunch of shadowy tendrils and tese snaky appendages whip around like crazy, slicing through any baddies that dare to get too close for comfort.
Ragnarok emerges from Crona's back and seizes a lava golem's head, slamming it fiercely into the ground. Next, Crona takes a swing with their sword, releasing a downward-shooting purple energy wave shaped like a gaping mouth at another approaching lava golem, blasting the creature to pieces. Crona then collects a massive amount of black blood into a huge cone-shaped spike which then he propels it rapidly towards another lava golem and pierced its chest.
With a wild grin, Eddy lit up his left fist with water so sharp it could slice through anything, "You're going down, assholes!" he shouted with delight and then threw a punch that sent a blast of this supercharged water straight through a lava golem's chest, and the sneaky guy didn't stop there, though. He went on to cleanse the whole golem's body with water and when it was nothing but pure and clean, he tossed it at the rest of them and they didn't stand a chance – the water made them melt like wax figures in the sun.
Using just his bare hands, Genma began to fight off several lava golems and he hits them with strong palm strikes and booted one right in the gut. Next, he kicked another golem's head off with a powerful blow and he then dashed forward and rolled into a group of the creatures, knocking more of them down to the ground. Genma then snatched another lava golem and using judo, he tossed it around like it was nothing but a ragdoll while slamming it onto the ground over and over before giving it a punt and sent it flying away.
Maka quickly grabs a lava golem and with surprising agility, she pulls out a book from and smashes the book down on its head, sending it flying away. Spinning her trusty scythe around in a smooth circular motion, she brings it down in a swift arc that looks like she's tracing the number six in the air and slices through another creature like butter. After that, she runs in and grinds the scythe against the ground, building up some serious momentum and with a graceful upward swing that forms a "U" in the air, she sends the next foe skyward.
Pit quickly grabs a hold of the lava golem and slaps on the Cutter Palm, his weapon of choice. He takes a moment to gather energy before unleashing a flurry of spinning energy disks from the Palm. These sizzling projectiles smack into his enemy, pushing them back with surprising force. Not satisfied with that, Pit charges up the Cutter Palm even more, and then fires off an enormous energy buzzsaw. It slices right through the opponent with ease, leaving a clean cut in its wake.
Ranma swiftly caught hold of a lava golem and hauled it closer, then deftly slipped under its massive legs. As he popped up on the other side, he gave them a good hard kick, sending the golem tumbling to the ground. Without missing a beat, Ranma gathered both hot and cold energy within himself, he then channeled this explosive chi into a colossal tornado, which he shot out towards his adversary and the fiery twister hit them square on, blowing the golem into pieces.
With his iron cloth, Ryouga slices through every lava golem that advances on him, turning them into deadly, spinning projectiles that he hurls at his enemies from afar. Drawing on his deep-rooted feelings of sadness and anger, he focuses his chi and releases a colossal energy wave from his palms, obliterating a cluster of monsters in a fiery explosion.
Ryuuko seizes a lava golem, giving it a powerful kick in the gut that makes it bend over in pain, she then takes the hilt of her Scissor Blade and smashes it into the creature's face, sending it reeling backward and dropping it onto its back with a solid punch to the head. Pulling back her weapon, the blade extends twice its length, and with a swift wide swing, she slices through the air, sending the golem soaring into the sky.
Shampoo snuck up from behind lava golem and with a swift move, she sliced its neck with her blade. She then tossed the creature aside and dashed towards another pack of creatures before plunging her knife into one of them and kicked another with the back of her boot. She then chucked some dumpling bombs, which sent the monsters flying into the air with explosive might and she pulling out a spear and skewered another creature right in the chest.
Once the battle was over and all the lava golems had been defeated, everyone took a much-needed moment to catch their breath. During this pause, Black Star and Maka's weapons changed back to their usual human forms.
The first human is teenage boy with an average height and a slouch appearance, he had an average build and a fair complexion, he had a spiky white hair swept to one side and he had red-colored eyes. He wears a white military jacket with the Spartoi logo on the left shoulder with a small clip strapped to the collar for closing and underneath the jacket, he wears a tucked-in white dress shirt with a tie, he wears blue pants with a white belt and a pair of white shoes. This is Soul Eater Evans.
The second human is a teenage girl had with a tall stature and well-endowed appearance, she had large breasts and a fair complexion, she had a long black hair tied up in a ponytail and she had a large indigo-colored eyes. She wears a sleeveless white top with stitches going down the middle and a black scarf around her neck, blue shorts tied with a black belt with a small pouch attached marked with a star symbol, white bandages on her arms below her shoulders, although some black bandages can be seen near her shoulders too. On her right leg, she had a long plain back stocking whilst on her left, she has several black bands wound around her leg and she wears black shoes. This is Tsubaki Nakatsukasa.
Soul arched his back with a satisfying stretch and let out a hearty groan of pleasure, "Whew, that was a fantastic spar!" he exclaimed while flashing a grin.
Tsubaki couldn't help but chuckle, "Great job, everyone." she praised warmly.
"Yeah, I totally owned those lava dudes!" Black Star bragged with his excitement barely containable, "Did you see that?!" he beckoned.
Maka rolled her eyes before setting him straight, "Hold on, Star." she beckoned, "That was a group effort and some additional assistance, remember?" she reminded, "Don't hog all the glory." she reminded him.
Tai joined in the post-battle camaraderie, "Awesome, guys!" he cheered before pausing for a moment, "Looks like we're good for now." he confidently asserted but his voice trailed off, hinting at a touch of uncertainty.
Afterwards, Eddy's group took the time to formally introduce themselves to the unfamiliar faces, including the joyful reunion of Crona and Ragnarok with Black Star, Maka, Soul, and Tsubaki.
Eddy and Pit then shared the current situation with the others, explaining their urgent quest to save people and describing how some mischievous divine being had thrown the entire multiverse into disarray.
Ryuuko then kindly provided each member of Maka's group with an elixir. After downing the magical potion, they felt revitalized and the previously unbearable heat of the region no longer a bother them.
With the newfound relief, everyone decided it was time to head out of the area together.
CUT THE ROPE! That's the 30th chapter of this story and I hope that you all enjoyed it. I apologize if the current chapter appears somewhat abbreviated and contains a reduced amount of dialogue. My intention was to ensure the publication of one final chapter prior to the year's conclusion, which may have led to a hastier composition. Rest assured, the characters introduced in this segment will be granted the opportunity for more comprehensive interaction in the ensuing chapter.
Debuting Cast of Characters:
Black Star, Maka Albarn, Soul Eater and Tsubaki Nakatsukasa are characters from Soul Eater.
