“On your left!” and on the young Scythe meister said left sprung a demonic black creature, twisted with jagged teeth ready to take a suitable bite out of her. Yeah, that wasn’t ‘bout to happen.
The GREAT BlackSTAR called out to give urgent warning of Maka’s imidate danger. When she didn’t move as fast as needed, that’s when he sprung into action. Leading out of thin air came the GOD himself. Springing up high only to slam a gagged excuse of a blade into the demons head. It cried an ear bleeding scream of pain before suddenly falling silent. There it laid, dead with no sign of sudden attack. One could simply remove the weapon from its head and move on. Yet, the STAR lingered. A small panic still rushing through him. Even though it was a second, a second of time holding it in place, he felt it. Never liked the feeling.
He finally stood up removing the blade with him. “Geeze, I gotta do everything for you?” this was his own special way of being relived. She was fine, no harm. “Come on, Albarn, you’re better than this.” Ah, no too sappy. “Not better than me, but still.” there, had to save the ego.
The two meisters were far from home, far from their partners. So no special soul abilities or resonance to aid them in the long stretch home. A witch had broken the peace treaty between the Academy and Witch Society. It was up to Maka with Soul and BlackSTAR with Tsubaki to take her out. Did they fail? Nah, a GREAT STAR never fails. Just turns out with this witches death came a last nasty screw you. When her body disintegrated a portal opened up to a different part of the world? Lord Death if he knew or even cared really. What he did know: Soul and Tsubaki got out scot-free, he was stuck with Maka in a new place, and there were plenty of shitty things ready to take a chunk out of ‘em.
“Here,” he tossed the weapon previously used to kill the demon, “you’ll need this more than I will. Pretty sure I can find another or somethin’.” arms crossed behind his head. While this dark, hollow, and cold muggy forest would scare most it didn’t the GREAT BlackSTAR. Just another day.
“Can you sense Soul and Tsu?” maybe they could lead them home.
