Chapter 19: True Form (1)
(This chapter is mainly here just to remind you all that the Soul Eater universe is mixed into this one. I'll probably make a new book with just SE instead next time.)
(Earth, ???)
Several cloaked women gathered around a one-eyed figure levitating above them all, just finishing up an annual meeting. These women were all Witches, and they all listened to the Witch Queen, Maba.
The all said in unison, "Joma joma, Dabarasa", which means in their language, "Witch Witch goodbye". (So many Witch and which words in the first paragraph.)
(Maba)"We are now finished with the Witch Mass, you're dismissed!"
The group broke off in several directions, but the two we should pay attention to are the two younger Witches, Eruka, and Mizune.
(Mizune)"Chi-Chi-Chi.... Things have been rather uneventful ever since Medusa disappeared. I mean, you weren't around when she was, but that Gorgon was planning something bad, I just know it."
(Eruka)"I heard she fled to a whole other world eight centuries ago."
(???)"Fu fu fu...that's right, Eruka Frog. Spot on, you are."
The two girls stopped in surprise at the sight of two Oozai sitting under a stone pillar. The first one was green, and had multiple cybernetic enhancements, and the other looked as though he was made of wood.
(Eruka)"Bah, Fuhil?! What are you two doing here, this place is for Witches only!"
(Bah *The cyborg*)"What do you mean? That guy over there isn't a Witch."
He pointed at a Human with multiple swords.
(Eruka)"That's different, she can't properly use her magic. What are you guys even doing here?"
(Fuhil)"We got another job. Some ex-noble bloke, Gohma, wants us to bump off this kid for his soul. Think his name was, Fen Gorgon Zai?"
(Mizune)"Wh-What?! Gorgon...is that kid her son by any chance? Medusa's?!"
(Bah)"Yeah, her and Zoozai somehow hooked up and had a kid or two, but she's well since dead, now. But, I heard that he's not only got some of her magic abilities, but Fen has the Demon Sword Ragnarok in his body."
The Witch was now shaking with fear, it was as if Medusa seemingly came back from the dead as a whole new person.
(Mizune)"You're seriously going to try and kill him, let alone fight him?! There's no way, you'll all be killed before you know it!"
(Bah)"Nah, not with Fen. That bugger couldn't even kill a mad dog, even if it was chewing his bloody leg off! And he's apparently been having trouble with his magic recently, so all we gotta do is bring him to an isolated location with nobody else to help him, and go all out at once! Gohma's gonna pay us a hundred million Yuld to do it too, so I ain't gonna let that slip away!"
(Fuhil)"We've taken on much bigger threats, there's even a Giant on our body count."
(Mizune)"....You know what, if you're really gonna do this, I'll help, too! Don't even try and stop me, I'm going to wether or not you want me to!"
(Fuhil)"Not to be rude, but you aren't exactly the strongest Witch around."
(Mizune)"I'll bring the rest of my family, we're much stronger when we work together!"
(Eruka)"I guess that's okay."
(Bah)"Do what you want, just don't expect a big portion of the dough, not like you could use it anyway..."

(Fen's House)
The boy was healing Star's burns on her arm and side from earlier that night, thankfully they weren't too severe.
(Fen)"You feeling better now?"
(Star)"Y-Yeah, just still stings a little!"
(Fen)"I'm seriously sorry for not immediately checking to see if you were okay back there, I was seeing red! Well, the whole room was red, but you get what I mean."
(Star)"Fen, you don't have to apologize or anything, it could've been worse, y'know!"
(Fen)"I know that. But after everything I said about liking you and stuff, I didn't really show it the right way when you got hurt..."
(Star)"I'm serious, Fen. Stop apologizing, (or I'll destroy Magic) you're helping me now, so you can stop blaming yourself!"
(Fen)"Ok, ok! Just don't hesitate to call me if you need anything else."
(Star)"I will, now let me get some sleep, it's freaking three in the morning!"
Fen went back to his room and stared at the ceiling on his back, taking in everything that happened tonight while purring to himself. While he was thinking, Ragnarok emerged from his stomach.
(Ragnarok)"So, it finally happened. How's it feel to finally hook up with Blondy?"
(Fen)"Hm...I, don't really feel different. Everything feels the same. It's kinda anticlimactic."
(Ragnarok)"Wow, six months of waiting, and you ain't jumping for joy?!/What was the point of this plotline then?!"
(Fen)"Rag, nobody reacts the same. Some do backflips when they win a contest, but others just stand and applaud. This isn't the first time I've been like this. I get something I wanted for years, but when I get it, nothing feels all that special anymore."
(Ragnarok)"Whatever, at least you won't be a nervous wreck when you're around her anym-"
In a puff of smoke, the Oozai and Demon Sword were suddenly transported to some desert location.
(Fen)"Huh?! Where are we? How'd we end up here?!"
(Fuhil)"I brought you two here, all by yourselves."
(Fen)"Who're you, and how'd you even summon me in this desert!?"
(Fuhil)"My name is Fuhil, and I brought you here with that Summoning Scroll."
He pointed to the boy's feet, which was under a large sheet of paper with Oozai lettering, as well as a little black smear.
(Fuhil)"That's your blood on there, Gohma had some saved from your previous battle with Yolmah. Now that I've explained, prepare for your last fight..."
A large, wooden puppet materialized beside the Oozai, and a multitude of blades emerged from its arm. His blue soul was visible, along with four cables of the same color attached to his puppet's back.
(Fen)"C'mon then! I've sparred with puppet fighters before, this'll be nothing that way I am now!"
(Bah)"Don't get cocky, you bloody wanker!"
He was suddenly kicked from behind, making a large crack form on his right side. Fen staggered as blood slowly leaked from the wound, before hardening thanks to Ragnarok.
(Ragnarok)"Attacking from behind?! What the hell is wrong with you?!?"
(Eruka)"Ge-ko! Think two's bad, try nine!"
The Frog Witch made her presence known, as well as the six identical Mouse Witches.
(Fen)"Ok, this just got a little bit scary. But I'm not going to let the thought of fighting...two cold-blooded Oozai mercenaries and, uh, seven Witches at the same time frighten me..."
(Fuhil)"Gohma's done his homework, Fen. He knows that you're having trouble synchronizing your Oozai and Witch Magic, and you're definitely tired from that fight with the Demon Tom. Isn't that right?"
(Bah)"That means we just can't let you have a second to breath!"
He wasn't wrong, Fen had used a good amount of magic that night already, what with the healing magic and his arrow attack. The Prince still had trouble on regulating the amount of energy used in said attack.
(Eruka)"It's quite ironic, a mouse and frog bringing the end to a snake!"
(Ragnarok)"Well this snake here's got fucking fangs! Just fucking watch, Witch Bitch!"
(Bah)"Oh, I think we all know who the bitch is, half-pint!"
Bah's abdomen opened to reveal a mini gun and he fired what seemed to be an infinite amount of bullets at the boy, who was too distracted blocking them with his barrier to defend against an explosive shaped like a tadpole. It burned the back of his head, somehow not ruining his hair.
(Ragnarok)"Hey! Be careful, dumbass! I can't defend against everything!!"
(Fen)"I'm trying me damn best here!"
Fuhil's puppet flew towards Fen, who countered with a strike with his dark blade. He was able to knock it back, but the doll simply flung itself back again, and again, and again. Fen couldn't block it with just one hand anymore, so he used both for a better grip on the sword, only to have some bullets and another tadpole bomb nail him in the backside. (Suggestive sentence entirely intended.)
(Fuhil)"Urk-! Ok, this is gonna be a little harder than I thought!"
(Bah)"You never had a chance, ya wanker! We've never lost a single battle we've been in!"
The Mizune Family rose into the air as long, purple whiskers appeared on their faces. They all flew around the boy, cutting his flesh with their...unique attack. Not even the Black Blood was enough to prevent unnecessary damage. Ragnarok once said that if he was able to restore his power, then he could become much more durable, but he also admitted that doing so would involve consuming souls, so it was out if the question. His barrier would also be a good tool in this situation, but what with the bombs, bullets, and puppet, he had no time to concentrate on it. (Fen's barrier takes two seconds to form once he crosses his fingers. Instantly when using both hands.)
(Fen)"O-Ok! We aren't getting making any progress, I have no choice...!"
(Ragnarok)"Huh? You got a trump card or something!?"
(Fen)"Yeah, but I haven't tried doing it yet. I don't know what's gonna happen, but I have to go into my true form right now!"
(Ragnarok)"Wait, this ain't what you normally look like?"
(Fen)"Not really, I guess."
He crossed both fingers, and his Soul Power increased dramatically.
(Eruka)"Wh-What's he doing?"
(Bah)"Oh Hell, he's powering up! Just keep attacking, even if his shield's still up!"
(Fuhil)"Wait a moment...look! His skin, it's..."
As Fuhil mentioned, Fen's body looked as if it was melting. No, it didn't LOOK like it, he was actually melting! The boy looked like a wax sculpture under a hot summer sun, and because his hands were now gone at this point, his barrier went away.
(Ragnarok)"Hey, hey-hey-hey! What the fuck is happening?!!"
(Fen)"I....don't know...feel, not right.....!"
(Mizune)"What us going on?"
(Bah)"Doesn't matter, now's our chance! Fire everything at him, finish the little bugger off!!!"
And they all did just that. The Mizune Family cut him deep, Fuhil's puppet slashed into his melting flesh, as Bah put nearly a hundred bullets into his chest. Finally, his gun swapped out for a large missile, and Eruka summoned two giant tadpole bombs.
(Eruka)"Ge-ko! Farewell...!"
They launched their attacks, all three hitting the Oozai Prince head-on, leaving a massive fire in his place...
(Fuhil)"Huh, it's over already? I expected at least a few of us to walk away with a few injuries."
(Bah)"Who cares?! We still one, all that's left is to get that soul-"
(Fuhil)"Wait! W-Wait a sec! He's....he's still alive!"
(Bah)"What?! There's now way! That last attack was enough to wipe out a large village!"
(Fuhil)"L-L-Look...!"
The flames magically became a purple cyclone before getting extinguished all by itself. And where the cyclone once stood, there was...Fen? He was much different, though. His tattoos were gone, his hair was longer, his face was unrecognizable, and his left hand was larger than his right.
(Fen)"......Ready for Round 2?"
