Soul Eater Ultimate (MysteriousD & GuardianAngel)

Maka just looked towards Blair for a moment in time before she was shaking her head and spoke, "I'm not sure why I'm unhappy. But thanks Blair." No the monster cat had given her something to think about that was for sure. And honestly she was a bit grateful for Blair. In a way the woman was kind of like that maternal figure that she didn't have in her life. An older female that she could look up to for advice. Not like her mother was around to give her this kind of advice.
 
The weekend went by rather quickly to say the least. Despite the victory, Diego could not help but still feel that there was some tense atmosphere. Was it because of stuff between him and Maka? Her own insecurities along with his own. Regardless though, they could not stay couped up forever. Odd coming from him. Sure, the first day was spent with him cooking and them relaxing, either with Maka reading or Diego playing some computer games, but the day after, Diego felt bored.

As such, he decided that they were well enough that they were going out and so something.

Even if it means holding onto her hand taking her out.

"Come on Maka. We've been couped up for a while so let's go and have fun together," Diego told his meister as he was taking hold of her and leading them out. From what he heard, the Death Scythes were coming in and apparently they were supposed to meet there later, so they could try and have some fun out.

However, he then bumped into a woman without noticing.

"Yikes, sorry about that," Diego said to her as he got up. He noticed the woman was peculiar.
 
The weekend went by quickly, although thankfully they didn't have to worry about going to classes for a few days still. They were still getting the chance to rest up and recover after the fight that they had gone through. And during that time, a lot of the other students were going up to help rebuild what had been destroyed by the witches that had been causing havoc on the outside of the school.

Maka was looking towards Diego when he was making a suggestion that they need to get out of the apartment to go and have some fun. Not to mention the other Death Scythes were coming to Death City as well, and they were suppose to meet them later.

Yeah he did have a valid point about getting out. They had spend the entire weekend in the apartment, she had been reading and he had been playing computer games. "Okay, yeah, lets find something to do." she spoke after a moment in time.

Although while they were out walking around, Maka had ended up wandering off briefly to look at something in a window, while Diego had ended up accidentally running into somebody. Maka was looking over when she heard her partner apologize to somebody.

The woman was pretty that was for sure, with long black hair that was tied up into a tight ponytail draped over her right shoulder, and she had what looked to be red eyes. At the time she was wearing a plain white blouse shirt with a black skirt, some tights, and heels. She was quite well-endowed in the chest area as well, which almost had Maka a bit jealous. Yet again it wasn't as though woman would decide how big their cleavage was.

"Oh I am a fault as well. I got so distracted by the sights, I wasn't paying attention." the woman spoke and Maka was just watching for a moment, before she finally walked over. This woman carried herself as a meister was, and Maka could see that a Death Scythe had been around her recently, having been escorted to Death City by one of them, considering she had come from a distance away.
 
Diego smiled that Maka was coming with him. He knew she would normally prefer staying indoors and reading and not really interacting with others, but he wanted to spend time with her. However, as he got up, he saw the woman.

Her black hair and red eyes caught his attention, indicating she was definitely someone of interest though when he saw Maka's brief expression of insecurity at seeing the older woman's cleavage, but he squeezed her hand in response. He flashed her a supporting smile. While Maka may not be as developed as other girls they knew and were friends with, he found her attractive and liked her for how she was.

Granted, his more than platonic feelings were something neither talked to, but he hoped she understood the sentiment.

"No worries. How are you doing?" Diego told her with a smile before he noted a few things. First, he saw that she had the presence of a meister and that she had a special pass brought to Death.

"You joining the academy?" Diego asked as he saw that there was a blond woman and a dark-haired woman nearby. The blond was getting an ice cream cone from a stand while the brunette with glasses was keeping an eye on her and toward the woman.

"Aren't those Death Scythes?" Diego realized to Maka
 
Maka just watched for a brief moment in time although she didnt say anything, just studied the womans soul. Or was going to anyways, but she couldn't even see it. Curious. Yet again there were a number of people that she couldn't read their souls completely, but she could at least see them faintly. She found it almost suspicious when she couldn't see them at all. Especially since the incident with Medusa.

"Yes I shall being joining the academy actually. Or I am hoping to anyways, but I'll find out after I talk to Lord Death." Nova spoke after a moment in time before looking back towards the other two woman, although she wasn't saying anything at all. No those two had accompanied her to Death City, made sure that she actually got there already. And they were the only two at that point in time that knew her secret, other than the fact that while she was a Meister she didn't have a weapon at all.

Even that had been a more recent thing, a number of months ago so it was still fresh in her mind. It was still a painful open wound that she was attempting to deal with. Her eyes flickered towards the two younger pair that stood before her before she spoke, "You two most definitely have a strong bond. You remind me a lot of myself and my partner when we had been younger. I'm sure you guys have your moments were you bicker with each other, but it is something that is easily brushed off."

This had Maka looking over for a moment before she was giving a nod of her head before she spoke, "Yeah we do bicker, but it usually get resolved. And we could tell you were a Meister. Are you the wielder of one of the two Death Scythes over there?" Yeah this was her clarifying that they were in fact Death Scythes. The blond she knew. That was Miss Marie, she had seen around around Professor Stein a few times. There was definitely something between those two.

Nova was giving a sad smile before she spoke, "No neither of those are my weapon." Although she didn't say anything more than that, was just dismissing herself and stating that she needed to find Lord Death and speak to him, figure out what she could help out with while she was there, and since she had been back. And hell while she was there, she planned on harassing Spirit a bit. Sure he was a number of years old than she, but he had been the one who had actually helped herself and her partner learn how to use soul resonance.

"Well, the only position open is school nurse, given how our last one did not turn out so well," Diego told her with a smirk as he saw the woman. He could not get a read on her. On the one hand, it reminded him of Medusa from last time. On the other hand, she lacked any maliciousness and he wondered if it was something else. After all, she was not the first one he could not sense. Kim for example after all.

However, his train of thought was interrupted when he heard the woman speak. About their strong bond. Diego had a light blush and nodded. "Yeah, she's my meister and she's the best," Diego told her with a grin. "Wait, I remember now. That's Marie Mjolnir of Oceania and Azuza of East Asia, right?" Diego realized, remembering what Maka shared with him several weeks ago when he asked about the different Death Scythes.

Diego noticed the sad smile and he realized what was going on. "Well, hope you join us," he said to her with a smile before he went off with Maka.

"I think something happened with her weapon," Diego said, noting the woman's sad smile.
 
Nova tilted her head for a moment in time before she spoke, "You know, being a school nurse doesn't sound overly terrible. Especially considering I'm not half bad at healing." With that she was giving a wave was her hand before she was taking a few steps away from the pair although was pausing for a moment to confirm that he was in fact correct about who the two Death Scythes were. After that she was returning to the other two woman so that they could go off to find Lord Death together.

Maka was looking over before giving a nod of her head before she spoke, "I think so as well.... it has me very curious."

Although with that said she was continuing on her way with Diego, so that they could go and find something to do for the day.
 
Diego smiled and nodded to her before he saw the women go back off with the Death Scythes. He turned to Maka and went to lead her over somewhere. He thought about bowling, but he knew that she was not really fond of sports stuff. Granted, neither was he, but he liked bowling, even if he sucked at it without the guards to keep him from getting gutter balls.

However, he did not know if Maka would be up with that.

So he got another idea.

"Ta-daa!" What do you think?" Diego asked her as he took her to the Arcade, wondering if she was interested.
 
Maka followed after him so that they could get to where ever he had decided to take them. Although soon enough they were arriving at the arcade and she was just looking around for a brief moment in time. For once it didn't seem like it was that packed, and maybe she would actually enjoy herself there.

"We could stay here for a bit." she spoke after a moment in time, giving a nod of her head before she spoke, "We could definitely hang out here for a while. It is something to do other than sit at home."
 
Diego smiled at her response. He knew that Maka was a bookworm and that she'd prefer doing her own thing. He was the same, but he still wanted to spend time with her and hoped this would be a good compromise. It looked like it was.

He grabbed her hand and took her in. "Maybe you'd like this," Diego said with a smile as he took her over to a dancing video game and decided to put a song for them. A song that Maka would be familiar with.

The Pon Pon Dance.

It was a pretty sugary pop dance that he knew Maka listened to and something she was a little embarrassed of. But it was all right if she liked it. She should not be ashamed of it. Which is why he was willing to play this DDR game with her to help her with that.
 
Maka just looked around for a moment in time. How she would rather be at home reading at that point in time she decided. Although she found herself drawn off with Diego towards something. A DDR game it seemed, and the song that he was putting on... a song that she listened to quite often. The Pon Pon Dance.

And it just happened to be a song that she knew the dance to as well. Which made it even more embarrassing. But she decided that she was going to have fun with it anyways as she was stepping up to the center of the platform, standing at the center of her arrows.

She was choosing her difficulty to be more of a challenge, with how fast the arrows showed up, how many showed up, versus the slower and calmer of the settings.
 
Diego was pretty all right with DDR. At least when it came to some of the easier settings. However, Maka would choose a more challenging one. Well, it was the song that she liked anyway.

And when the song came up, Diego did his best to dance. The song was definitely the sort of happy peppy song that showed off the childish side of his meister, but he did not feel ashamed nor of the fact that she was clearly beating him because she was in better shape. He was having fun. He was becoming more comfortable with himself.

And that was something he wanted to show her as well.

For them to be more comfortable with themselves and each other.
 
Maka was actually having fun at that point in time, although she wasn't sure how long this fun would last though. There were only some songs that she was actually going to be able to get into dancing to.

But until then she was going to enjoy the dancing at that point in time, a smile on her lips as she danced to the music.
 
Her smile.

To Diego, Maka's smile... her laugh... her joy... it meant so much to him. He knew she was a serious person. He knew she had her insecurities and so on. And he wanted to help her. Just seeing her be happy like this... it was worth everything.

He smiled back at her as he was dancing with her. When she won, that meant it was her turn to pick the next upcoming song.
 
Soon enough the song came to an end, and it seemed like Maka had won that song. Although she did know the dance to that song, she could have done that dance without the arrows. She was sure that Diego had caught those embarrassing moments of her dancing with the music now and again. Her rare moments where she was doing something other than reading, or studying.

With that she was looking through the songs so that she could find a different song, just listening to them briefly as she scrolled through them. Trying to find something that she either actually knew or caught her attention.

Eventually she did find a song, and was putting it on. Sadly she wasn't really sure on the steps for this, although she was still putting it on a more challenging difficulty, wanting the challenge.

As they were having fun at the arcade, Noveau made her way towards the Academy in which Lord Death was usually at. She was holding some of her hair out of her face as she looked at the building.

It had been so long since she had been there. This would be the first time in a number of years that she was returning to the place that she had studied in for so long, but it wasn't as though she had anything better to do. Although walking towards the building she had a strange sense, which had her pausing in her walking for a moment in time.

The soul felt like Medusa, although it was different from the snake woman's. A child perhaps. Although she couldn't see that bitch ever having a child, any more than she could see herself having kids. Her thoughts turned away from that when she spotted Spirit and Stein, which had her smiling as she waved at them, and jogged over. There wasn't much of a shock that Marie was actually going over and giving Stein a hug in greeting.

"Good to see you two again." Nova spoke in a smile as she looked towards them.
 
When Maka would pick a new albeit similar-sounding song, Diego continued to dance with Maka. It was still challenging, but he was still enjoying himself, especially for seeing Maka smile and be happy. His meister was a mature and serious person, which he often appreciated, but he also knew that she should not be ashamed for her childish side. As such, he was showing off how much of a goof he was, but also how comfortable he was.

All to make her happy. Cause as long as she was happy, he'd be happy too.

"Having fun?" Diego asked her, beginning to sweat as they were finishing the second song.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, well, long time no see," Spirit said Nova with a smile on his face. It was always good seeing old friends again, even Asuka. However, Nova meanwhile was a larger surprise. She was among the finest meisters ever produced and the news of her weapon dying was a colossal tragedy among the community. Shinigami always kept an eye on her.

Lord Death was one of the very few who knew that she was a witch. One with tame magic like Kim. The fact she confided in him, to begin with, was a reason he accepted her in.

"Yeah, we should get going. Lord Death says that the rest of the Death Scythes should be here soon," Stein noted, smiling as he felt Marie hugging him.
 
Nova was giving a soft smile before she was brushing some of her hair out of her face, then was following after them so that they could go and speak with Lord Death. Although as she was walked along she was looking towards Spirit and Stein. Huh there was the magic of Medusa written all over them at that point in time, waiting away. Told her that they had gotten into a fight with her recently.

"Her aura is written all over you. That fucking snake woman. I hope she is dead. Must nevermind her, I am more interested in the soul that feels so much like her." Nova commented after a moment in time, as she strolled beside them.

The soul she was talking about was that of Crona. Medusa's child, a child that it seemed like the woman hadn't even really cared about. Hell if one saw the relationship between Crona and Ragnarok, it was like the weapon cared more for the boy. Which was most definitely saying something.

"I saw Justin Law on our way here. Not sure where he disappeared to though." Asuka spoke although she didn't say much more than that, was just pushing her glasses up onto her nose a bit more. After that she was heading off inside, which had Marie hurrying after her. Yeah that would be wise, they didn't need to be making Lord Death wait any longer than needed.

---

Maka was looking over before she spoke, "Yeah, a little bit." Although they weren't going to be able to have fun for super long, they would probably want to head home to shower and get a bite to eat before they headed off to meet Lord Death, and the Death Scythes. That and they would get to find out what was going to happen to Crona.

Maka had been very insistent on being there when Lord Death gave his verdict on the boy, although Maka was worried he was going to be send away. It wasn't exactly his fault that he was who he was, not even close actually.
 
"Well, we were not able to detect her soul, but it was not like Diego nor Senpai ate it," Stein noted to her. "Yeah, though Diego could not keep the Soul up until he got the 99 kishin eggs anyway," Spirit added. While consuming Medusa's soul would've made him more powerful, he probably would not have done so.

"Knowing Justin, he probably took a shortcut so he could pray to Lord Death," Spirit added with a chuckle before they would all arrive there... and notice that they were the last ones there. All the rest of the Death Scythes were here. Justice was, of course, the Death Scythe of West Europe, but the others were uncommon sights.

With his bear mascot head on, it was none other than the Demon Mirror Tezca Tlipoca and his meister, the intelligent monkey Enrique, the Death Scythe of South America. From West Asia was the Demon Lamp, Djinn Galand with his meister. Next to them was the Rainbow Axe, Ding Dinga, the Death Scythe of Africa with his meister. Recognized by his Anti-Demon Wavelength was the Death Scythe of East Europe, Tsar Puska, an odd mace-canon hybrid.

With Marie, Asuka and of course Spirit there, it was all eight Death Scythes here. Definitely quite a gathering.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Glad you are. I love seeing you be happy," Diego told her with a smile before noting her worried look. He in turn looked at his watch. "We should get going then. We are going to meet up with Crona later today," Diego added. "Lord Death is pretty understanding," he reminds her as he grabs her hand to head back to the apartment.
 
Nova looked towards Spirit before she spoke, "I wish somebody would have eaten her damn soul, one less witch who wants to take over the world." With that she was giving a slight shrug of her shoulders and was strolling after them. Upon arrival to Lord Death's room, it appeared that those three Death Scythes were the last to arrive, and the others were already there as well.

It was so interesting to see all of the Death Scythes in one place, although over the years, Nova had gotten use to seeing them and their meisters. Benefits of traveling around and seeing how everybody was.

She was brushing some of her hair from her face and greeting a few of them before looking at Lord Death as he came into the room.

----

Maka was looking over before she spoke, "Yeah lets go and see Crona. I hope that Lord Death can find a way to help him." With that she was following after him so that they could head back to the apartment, get whatever they needed, then head to go see Crona.
 
"Well, even if she returns, she will be weakened and we will be stronger as well," Stein told her analytically. Normally, it would not be for the Death Scythes to all arrive. Even if Asura was likely released, not everyone would arrive, probably due to the ongoing chaos caused by the Madness of the Kishin being awakened. However, such a close call did warrant people coming in if namely to reinforce security.

That, and thanks to the period of uninterrupted peace, it was able to get everyone here.

"Welcome everyone. So nice to see everyone here. As you all now know, we had a close call with the Kishin Asura nearly escaping. While the effort was stopped thanks to the efforts of our students, it did remind me that we all need to reinforce our defenses while also looking through to keep an eye out for future threats," Lord Death said to them all.

"The Witch Medusa has not been confirmed dead so we may need to keep a look out for her as well as sending all of you to watch for strange activity. In the meanwhile, we have some new staff. Marie, you will be staying here at the Academy in assisting with Stein so Spirit can remain at my side. Asuka, you will, therefore, take her duties in Oceania as well. Lastly, Nova, thanks to your marvelous healing talents, I would like you to take the role of head nurse and physician here at the DWMA along with two personal assignments," he said to them all.
--------------------------------

"I am sure," Diego told her with a smile. When they arrived in the apartment, Diego went over to shower at first. He sighed a bit to relax in the hot water, unable to stop thinking about Maka. He wonder if Maka ever thought about him.

Before long, he would finish up though and let Maka shower.
 
Nova listened to what Lord Death had to say, exactly about the Witch Medusa. There was talk about how there was some new staff as well. Marie was going to be pairing up with that of Stein so that Spirit could to return to Lord Death's side. Asuka was going to be taking over the duties of Marie considering the blonde was going to be busy with Stein as his weapon.

Nova was turning her attention towards Lord Death as he was stating that he would like her to be the head nurse there at the DWMA, which had her inclining her head. And something about two personal assignments, which had her raising her eyebrow.

"Nurse I can most definitely do. These two personal assignments, I hope you are going to elaborate." she spoke with a soft chuckle.
 
"The first one would be to watch over Crona. After consideration, I've decided to give them a test trial as a student. While the Demon Sword Ragnarok has committed a fair deal of crime, the child is innocent. Additionally, with Ragnarok purged of all the innocent human souls he has taken, he may be easier to handle and reform," Lord Death explained to her. "As such, I would like you to keep an eye on them. This is an assignment that is shared between you along with Stein and Marie," he clarified.

"Your second personal assignment is an additional mentorship assignment and one perhaps more urgent given this is only you can do. And that is to keep an eye on Kim Diehl," Lord Death explained. "She is like you, an extraordinarily talented individual and her insecurities have been known to us for a while, but since she has not come to actually tell us, I figured it would not be fair to press the issue. However, given the escalation of a witch attack on here, I think she could use someone to reassure her," he adds.
 
Nova listened to what Lord Death had to say before raising an eyebrow, wondering who this Crona person was. Although the demon sword Ragnarok was definitely something that she had heard about. Not that she was really sure how she felt about it. With that she was brushing some of her hair out of her face before she spoke, "I wouldn't have an problems at all looking after somebody." There was a soft smile on her lips and then she listened to Lord Death's other request. A mentorship assignment of sorts, and listening to the request she was living a small frown. At first she wasn't understanding exactly how she could help, although after listening to it a bit more it struck her. This girl must also be a witch, and it wasn't as though the other Death Scythes that were there knew that even Nova was a witch. The only ones in the room that she personally knew were that of Lord Death and Spirit, and she knew that Stein knew as well.
 
"Yes, your suspicions are correct," Death told her. "She can heal and Kim has been through a great deal. Even now, she shows a little fear of betrayal and I hope you can assist her with that," he asks.

"Crona shall be here soon, as they will be given a tour of the school by the students who helped them out," Lord Death explained to them and indeed, by this point Diego had been leading Maka over to the school and waiting for them was none other than Death the Kid. "Hey Kid, waiting for something?" Diego asked him.

"I have been waiting for the both of you so I could actually escort you to Crona," Kid said to them before he began leading them over to where they were being held.
 
Nova was giving a bright smile before she spoke, "I'll definitely go and talk to her later! I'll reassure her that everything is okay, and that no matter what happens, she'll always have people to turn to that won't walk away." She knew how that felt, to be afraid of being betrayed. She had lived that life when she had entered the academy, especially if they found out that she was a witch. Hell it had been a bit chaotic when her own weapon had found out, they had been out of sorts for a bit, but eventually they made it work out. And they had become a powerful duo.....until a few months ago. He had done what Diego had done for Maka, protecting his meister, but instead her weapon hadn't survive.

She was giving a nod at the mention of Crona being there soon before she was leaning back against the wall, quite curious as to why the other Death Scythes had been summoned. It seemed almost trivial with the fact that the Kishin hadn't been released, although who knew if there was more. Perhaps Lord Death just wanted to see them all once more.

Maka looked towards Kid as she walked up with Diego before she spoke, "Oh perfect, we were actually coming to see Crona."
