Soul Eater: The Trap of the Witch! Is there any hope of escape? (Ecomoto x WritingxDreamer)

[Ecomoto]

"How are the gates coming, Marocha?" The cloaked woman said in a high, gleeful tone. "I want things ready for when he arrives...I want everything to be perfect..." The Cloaked woman sat at the head of the table as Marocha shifted in his seat. "Everything is according to plan, Mistress Aurora. The plan is in motion as we speak." The cloaked man stood as he revealed his face. He was pail, almost sickly looking, having gray colored eyes that had a particularly bright sheen to them. "The bait is set as well. We will be able to begin shortly." Marocha Turned to the other three sitting at the black table. Moonlight was shining in through the window, giving the room a ominous presence. "Marocha...will this silly plan of yours even work?" Another woman's voice chimed in, the cloaked figure that stood closest to the doorway. Her voice was very hoarse compared to Aurora's...almost as if she was ill somehow. "We don't even know if we have the proper bait or not..." The woman said in a raspy, mocking tone. "

"Shut your tongue, Brellone!! You are a fool to think I would not plan properly!" Marocha said, his fist hitting the hard would table with a loud thump. "This is...completely a waist of time. We should just capture him with force. We have all the strength we need. We would mow down the DWMA..." A third, very deep male voice said. It came from the other side of the table, all four cloaked individuals sat around it. "We can't, Crellek, you know this. Lord Death himself would flatten us the moment we entered Death City's borders. We need to make sure to destroy all of his little 'followers' first. To allow us to fight him at full strength. And this plan will work..." The smooth, sultry voice said from the head of the table. "I've already seen that it will..."

Fenton had done it. He had evaded the silly DWMA pair seeking him. They had prevented his meal the last time...it would not happen again. This place would be perfect. He needed souls. NEEDED more power. He lusted, hungered, ground his teeth for it. His body shook for it, almost trembling as he searched for his next victim. This night would be good...the more power he gained, the more power he would be able to use and kill more sinners. But suddenly...

* * * *

"Hey...yeah, you with the blank expression!" Fenton...the God's hand killer stopped mid step towards the alley way behind a set of buildings, one a shop, the other an apartment style housing are. Fenton turned slowly, his eyes crazed, body shaking. "Yep...he's the one, Annalisa...He's the kishin egg." Arturo said, looking over at her as he gave her a big grin. "Told you he was around the next corner...I knew it. May have taken a few tries..." He said with another chuckle, looking back toward the almost writhing figure. "You've been quite the little trouble maker, 'God's hand killer'. They say God himself protects you to allow you to murder. What GOD would really allow that?! Dumbass..." Arturo said, making a scoffing sound.

"Arturo." The generally quiet female spoke up a bit, "He doesn't seem very.. happy... maybe you shouldn't egg him on.." Annalisa fidgeted in a nervous habit, her small fingers lacing together in front of her. It was obvious that they had been searching long for the Kishin egg by the tired look on her face. Her long, sandy blond hair had fallen slightly from the twisted bun on her head. Even now, in the face of an enemy she managed to maintain a polite demeanor. She turned toward Fenton, bowing her head slightly. "I'm sorry, but we will have to take your soul now. You can't be allowed to roam the streets for any longer. You are a danger to everyone in this city."

 

[Ecomoto]

Fenton swayed back in forth, staring at the two before him with a murderous intent. "You're...standing in the way...of God..." Fenton said as he drew his knife, spinning it skillfully in his hands and holding the silver blade backhand. His eyes fluttered with the anticipation of the blood flowing from his victims. "My soul is God's...not yours..."

"Gah...well...that's true." Arturo stated with a little bit of a embarrassed tone to his voice. "But we need him to attack, so I figured it was the best thing to say. Besides, I think he was gonna end up attacking us anyway..." Arturo said as he stood a little in front of Annalisa, in a ready stance. "Looks like he's about ready to go...we should get ready, too. You know?" Suddenly, Arturo's body began to glow a bright yellow, suddenly becoming a solid color and distorting as he was launched into the air, his body changing shape. "Gravity Axe Form!" He yelled out, the spike on the top of his axe handle sticking into the ground as he landed, handle angled toward Annalisa. "Lets go, Anna!" Arturo said in a pumped up voice. He really enjoyed being Annalisa's partner, it helped him focus on what needed to be done, instead of him going on tangents.

"You will all assist God's resurrection..." Fenton said, sprinting towards towards the truth, a crazed and blood-thirsty look in his eyes.

 

[WritingxDreamer]

"Right!" She grabbed onto his handle firmly, pulling the giant ax from the ground with ease. To most people, it would seem like a nearly impossible task for someone as small as her to lift a weapon of that size. On the contrary, with their resonating souls, it was a simple task for her. She managed to move the blade quickly enough in order to deter the male's movement a bit. "H-He's.. really fast..." Her body shifted, her weight moving to her back leg before she slammed against Fenton a bit to knock him off balance, swinging Arturo.

 

[Ecomoto]

Fenton swung wildly at Annalisa, the blade raking against Arturo's axe blade as he knocked her back a little. The girl used that momentum, bringing her foot around and slamming it into the side of Fentons head. He Tried to recover in time, tried to stay on balance, but could not. "God...you've forsaken..." And those were the last words he said as Annalisa swung Arturo...

"Do it, NOW!" Arturo yelled triumphantly as his blade sunk into Fentons stomach, ripping it open. Blood poured out as suddenly the blood and Fentons body turned black. Almost like a miniature tornado, the newly formed darkness swirled and convulsed, finally dispersing to reveal the red, cell cover soul, pulsating and hovering in the air.

Arturo's axe form illuminated brightly as it took the solid color of white, changing shape back into his human form. He was holding onto Annalisas' hand, but let it go after giving her a big grin like he always did after a successful hunt. "Well...this is number ninety...isn't it? Only nine more and a witches soul..." He said as he reached forward and grabbed the red, glowing object. "Cheers, Anna!" He said with glee as he ate the soul, slowly chewing it and mulling it around in his mouth a little. "Hmm...tastes stale..." Arturo said with his mouth full, finally swallowing. "So I take it that means we can go home now?" He asked, looking up at the slowly darkening sky.

"Fenton...he has fallen..." A cloaked figure said in the background, watching the now victorious meister and her weapon partner from the shadows. "T-they activated the trap!?" The man on the other end of the radio connection he had. "Aurora...she will be incredibly angry...all that preparation for nothing. But we can start over. Those two can't leave, and the army is awaiting them, along with the generals. They don't stand a chance. Report back to base, Kiresh." The voice said as Kiresh disappeared, the sky flashing blue three times. The trap was activated. There was no escape now...

 

[WritingxDreamer]

A sigh of relief escaped her lips, and she watched her partner swallow the soul with interest. She had always wondered what a soul tasted like, but never dare try it. Many other meisters had mentioned how 'pure' her soul was, and she didn't want to ruin that image for herself. "I do hope so... We've been searching for that man for so long that it's been a long time since I've gotten a chance to take a warm bath and sleep in a real bed.. I'm tired of inns."

 

[Ecomoto]

"Ahhh...yep. After chasing that bastard for two weeks..." Arturo trailed off as the sky flashing blue caught his eye. "Hmm...that was...odd." He said, blinking up at the sky. "Oh well." Arturo walked past Annalisa as they made there way toward the city gates. The city itself had a great wall all around it, with a massive iron gate....that was now closed.

"Wait...what the hell!?" Arturo said, looking at the very disheartening site. If that gate didn't get open, they weren't getting out. "Y-you've got to be kidding me!?" He shouted, looking towards the guard gate. "Where is the..." and there was no one to control the gate. "...guard...shit. We might actually be stuck here..."

 

[WritingxDreamer]

"No way.. No way..." The female started to look around, trying to find some sign of a guard. "There's no one around.. it's practically a ghost town here.. but there has to be someone who can open this gate.." She peered around. "Do you think there's a possible way for us to break out ourselves..? I'm sure the controls have to be around here somewhere. Or maybe this gate really isn't as strong as it looks.. maybe."

 

[Ecomoto]

"Only one way to find out, right?!" Arturo said as his arm transformed into an axe blade, rushing forward towards the gate. He swung his arm, raking the blade against the iron gate. Sparks jetted out from the contact of the metal pieces as his arm bounced back. He rushed again, hitting it two or three more times. He stopped, transforming back as he frowned, his attacks not even doing a scratch. "No...it's definitely as strong as it looks..."

Arturo sighed loudly as he suddenly looked to his left, seeing someone slumped over in the corner next to a building. "Hey, there's someone over there..." He pointed.
