As the boy rushed him once more, he could feel the power of the weapon as it grew, but then something unexpected happened. Suddenly, the weapon was overrun with some sort of intense madness, clearly not something the Meister and weapon could have achieved through a Soul Resonance, no this was much more. Matsura prepared himself, for it would be rather difficult to dodge this attack.
Matsura threw himself back, as i he were doing some sort of limbo. His head was against the ground, and the flexibility of his knees was as if they were made of some sort of rubber material. The blade of the axe swung by his head, cutting off a small strand of his hair, which oddly turned into a cold cloud of moist air. As this happened, Matsura could feel the feeble restraint on his magic release, and a cold grin crept to his lips.
He lunged forward with his right hand, attempting to grip Shade's wrist while he was still recuperating from the swing. If this was a success, then he would drive his palm upward into a thrust into Shade's chest.
At the same moment, Matsura felt another burst of energy from behind him. "Shit..." He thought, knowing there was no time left. He spun, bracing his chest for the impact with a solid block of his ice, but it was simply no use.
A large hole was punctured clean through his chest. This should have been the part where Matsura morphed into all the human souls he had eaten, but nothing happened. Instead, when the smoke cleared, the whole in his chest was empty, the outsides jagged with little shards of ice. The wound started to close as Matsura smiled. "If they keep fighting, their dumber then they look, and they looked pretty dumb in the first place..." He thought.
Elia smiled at Alge as he sat down next to her. Truth be told she wasn't up to a fight right now, and something in her stomach was churning. For a minute she thought it might have been the curry, but there was no way it soaked through her that quickly. "I...I just want to go home..." She whispered, clutching her tummy as she stood and made her way to the door.
As she walked the steps into her home, the pain in her stomach was almost too much to handle. "I think I'm going to be sick..." She complained. It wasn't until she was a mere two steps from the door that she noticed it was slightly ajar. "Odd..." She thought, pushing it all the way open, which she almost immediately regretted doing.
Everything in her stomach, and the rest of her body for that matter, had gone ice cold. She stood, frozen in the doorway, staring at the man in her living room. "My...how you've grown..." The figure oozed, the voice making her feel as though she had been dipped in a tub full of ice. "Matsura..." She whispered.
And it was him, standing in her living room, in the flesh. He inched toward her, but she stepped back. "You're not yourself...what happened to you..?" Elia couldn't believe her eyes. It had been years since she had last seen Matsura, their fathers were basically brothers, and Matsura had known Elia since she was in diapers. But now something was different, now he wasn't the Matsura she knew back when she was seven, back when his parents were murdered and he disappeared.

Without a second thought, Misaki grabbed a hold of Noir's arm and pulled Noir away from the scene. Staying in that area would only do them harm, and she didn't think it would be good for Noir. "Let's just keep out of this one." Misaki stated as the pair ran from the scene; they wouldn't be much help anyways if there was a magic cancelation masking the area since most of their attacks are magic related. "Are you alright?" She hadn't bothered to ask her partner how she was feeling; it would affect her more than Misaki.

Noir’s very soul essence was doused in magical energy so when she looked over at Misaki she could tell the young meister was slightly discomforted. It made sense as when partners resonate their souls together it was a constant reflection of energy against their souls; having a soul based of magic there was no doubt Misaki was slowly being affected by it. Noir only hoped it wouldn’t affect the madness sleeping inside her partner’s heart.
“I… I’m feeling better…” Noir whispered out as she let out a small pained cough. “I’m fine…” Noir said as she slowly tugged her arm from her partner’s grasp; although they were close enough to live together Noir still had issues of letting one anyone to close to her. Reaching into her small bag she pulled out a small mirror and handed it to Misaki..
“I’m feeling a little faint… While I relax could you contact Shinigami about any missions?”

Matsura's attack was avoided, but he could feel a small amount of skin being ripped off the boy. The hole in his chest had sealed completely now, leaving only an ice blue mark on his chest, but that did not, however, deal with the second swing of the large blade, that had now been redirected at him once more. There was little time to react, with the amount of energy coming from the blade, thanks to the weapon's sudden madness, it would be impossible to catch it, without any consequences that is.
The blade made contact, but not with the body. There was now a large scythe in the hands of Matsura, and he was blocking the attack from Shade. "Odd...it has been a long while since I've had to use Furusoto in battle...this kid must have more talent then his ego shows..." The scythe surged with a glowing blue energy, which sent a pulsing shock wave outward, as to knock the attack away from him. "Although, if it weren't for the madness leaking through that weapon, the boy would have been dead much sooner..."
He twirled the scythe by his side, holding it at the ready. He was not so concerned with the boy and the gun, but more or less concerned with Shade, the close combat fighter. Seeing as how the first attack from Calyx was seemingly absorbed, and that must have been most of the power they had in reserve for a hit like that, they were the least of his worries.

The meister noticed a glance from her troubled partner; she flashed a quick smile to convince her she was alright. Feeling Noir tugging her arm away, Misaki loosened her grip so she could pull out; even though she said she was fine, that was obviously not the case. “Alright I guess; we’ll see if that crazy man answers.” Misaki smiled lightly and grabbed the mirror Noir handed to her. Misaki fogged up the mirror and proceeded to write on the mirror, “42-42-564 whenever you want to knock on Death’s door…” She cringed as she recited the silly rhyme, it wasn’t necessary but she found herself saying it sometimes.
The glass rippled and a image of Shinigami’s room appeared; the man in question bounced to the screen shortly after. “Ah~ Misaki and Noir, good to see you two are alright. What can I do for you?” He asked in his normal cheery voice. “We called to see if there were any available missions for us, since we’re out here already.” Misaki decided to give her laziness the back seat for today and try to be productive today. Shinigami clapped his big blocky hands together, “There is something, it should prove no difficulty to you two. There have been reports of killings in an area close to where you are, it is most likely a corrupted soul.” And there was their mission, seemed easy enough and would add another soul to their counter. “Now you two be off now and contact me when you’ve completed it.” With that the transmission ended, Misaki held out the mirror to give it back to Noir. “Well there’s our mission.”

Fake glanced at the scythe the kishen held. Killed his partner eh? Well... that sounds like what I want. He glanced over to Malcolm and Calyx, both striking and failing to do so. Both of you fail at life. Why are you trying? You are such dumbasses... Can't you see how this man's goal is to kill you? He will, and that will save me time since I won't need to kill you. Fake thought.
Shade was doing nothing at the moment after the failed slash, so Fake decided to take control. He reverted back to his duel bladed axe, with the spear down the middle. Fake sent the madness down Shade's arm controlling it as soon as it touched it. He raised it and took aim at the kishen. "DIE! LET ME TAKE YOUR SOUL AND RIP YOU TO SHREADS ON THE WAY!!!" Fake screamed in his metallic voice, and shot his spear from the middle of his axe body.

As the glass of the mirror reacquired its reflective surface, Spirit sidled up behind Dr. Stein. "Ooh, what was that kiss all about?" He taunted. "Shut up unless you want to die." Franken responded, pushing his glasses higher onto his nose, light reflecting off of the lenses. "Well," he continued, changing the subject back to the task at hand. "I'm glad we're getting partners for this." "Yeah," Spirit agreed, "Medusa's wasn't the most inviting place to be, it's a good thing B.J. will be doing the excavating." With that, the pair headed for the library where research could be done.
~Algernon
As Algernon reached Elia's house he slowed down. He could see that the door was open and that Elia was still standing in the doorway. He approached cautiously, sensing tension. "Hey, Elia," he called quietly. "Are you all right?"

The day was just beginning and some of the students were already in a second battle, this one with a Kishin. The laughing sun ignored the goings-on below, preferring to laugh at its defeat over the moon that was now so far away. It did not notice, nor did it care about the soul that was being consumed on the other side of the city.
Jorma licked her fingers, making sure to get every juicy drop of the young girl's soul. The girl had been a student of the academy and was heading to her first class of the day. She had been polite to Jorma, asking her if she needed directions. Jorma had not responded, simply slayed the girl where she stood. The girl had had no time to react. Jorma looked around but there was no one else to be had. She started moving slowly to the East, intending to circle Death City in a spiral. The academy was at the centre and Jorma looked forward to the feast. But she paced herself. Picking off people on the outskirts of town instead of going directly to the centre, that way there would be less resistance in the final battle.
