Suddenly, an enormous pressure washed off the group and making them shake in great fear. A fear that Maka was all too familiar with.

"She's here." Maka said.

"W-Who?" Black Star said with a surprising stutter.

"My aunt." Mama said, slowly turning around and gazing to the sky.

Everyone followed her gaze, gasping as they saw a hooded witch in a flying broomstick. Her soul, enormous, with repitle like eyes and multiple translucent arrows moving around it like a horde of snakes.

"Hello, Maka, it sure has been some time since we've last seen each other." Medusa said, smiling at her niece. "My, how you've grown."

"Medusa." Maka said with a growl, trying to calm her shaking hands.

"AUNT Medusa, deary. Don't be disrespectful." Medusa said as she wagged a her pointer finger. "Anyway, I don't want to cut the family reunion short, but I think Crona has had enough fun for tonight. I'll be taking him home but I'm sure he'll look forward to the next playdate."

Medusa held her hand out, creating multiple black arrows from her body and stretching them a high speed into the church rubble to retrieve her son.

"I do look forward to seeing how strong you become." Medusa said, placing Crona on the front of her broomstick.

"Wait! What are you planning and what does it have to do with me?!" Maka shouted at her.

"I could tell you, but that would destroy the fun." Medusa said.

"And what makes you think we'll just let you leave, witch?!" Death the Kid shouted, taking a step forward.

"Yeah! You're not going anywhere!" Black Star added, assuming a fighting stance.

"Hehehe... because you won't be able to stop me." Medusa said with a wide, snakelike grin.

With the snap of her fingers, Medusa created a giant black arrow from her borrow and sent it straight to the ground! Crashing in a smoke cloud before becoming a giant king cobra snake!

It was the size of a bus and as fast as a train, taking off and rampaging through Italy as the group watched in shock.

"Ta-Ta, Maka. Tell your father I said hi then kick him in the stomach." Medusa said as she flew away.

With the decision of chasing Medusa or stopping the giant snake rampaging through Italy, the group had to make the obivous choice.

"We have to stop that thing." Kid said, gazing at rhe giant cobra.

"But how? Only you're fast enough to possibly catch that thing. Black Star and I are too slow." Maka said to him.

"Speak for yourself." Black Star comments, stretching. "I can catch it in less than a minute, flat."

"Then that meamns we'll have to lead it back hwre and you finish it off with a bit of magic, Maka." Kid said with a quick plan.

"You better have something HUGE to destroy that big old snake!" Patty said in excitement to Maka.

"No pressure bit I really hope you do." Liz said quickly.

"I'll think of something." Maka said with a nod.

With their plan made, the weapons transformed and went into their meisters' hands before Kid and Black Star took off after the giant cobra!

"Black Star, you take the right side, I'll take the left!" Kid shouted, summoning his skateboard.

"Yeah yeah, whatever!" Black Star said before blitzing off! "Let's do this already!"

"So impatient!" Kid muttered, flying off on his skateboard.

The two followed the beast as fast as they could, which had awoken the city as citizens started screaming. Running away from the rampaging servant as it destroyed their buildings and homes.

Getting high enough above the cobra, Kid fired at it but the wavelength bullets were too small. Not even making the giant snake flinch as it continued rampaging!

"Damn it! It's not working!" Kid shouted.

"How about this?!" Black Star shouted, throwing Tsubaki in Giant Shuriken mode at the snake.

Which also did nothing as she just bounced off the scales.

'Damn! The scales on it are too tough!' Tsubaki said ws Black Star caught her.

"Maka's magic is likely the only thing that can damage it!" Kid said, flying close to Black Star. "We need to hurry and lead it back to her!"

"Then you better have an idea to get this thing's attention!' Liz shouted.

'Oh! I know! Hit it with a few Death Cannons!' Patty said in glee. 'All that boom should get it to chase us!'

'It's risky, but possible.' Kid thought as he perfomed Soul Resonance.

"Tsubaki, go smoke bomb mode! Let's blind it!" Black Star shouted as he rushed ahead, jumping across several roofs.

'It's worth a try!' she said as she transformed into a paper smoke bomb with a fuse.

Once caught up with the snake, Black Star jumped and threw her at the snakes eyes.

BOOM!

"HIIIIIIIAAAAH!" The giant snake hissed in pain, it's eyes stinging from the soul smoke.

Seeing it in pain, Tsubaki quickly reformed as a human on its head and skid to a halt while holding onto its back.

'So it's eyes are it's weak spots!' She thought.

Even with her being a weapon, Tsubkai was still a ninja. So she had plenty of kunai, shuriken, various other ninja weapons/tools hidden in her clothes.

"Let's see if I can do more damage to the eyes." Tsubaki said, running back to the snake's eyes to attack them.

As the giant cobra recovered its vision, Tsubaki jumped in the air above its head with a flip before pulling over several shuriken!

"HAH!" She shouted before throwing 10 shuriken at its eyes!

This caught the snakes attention as it blinked fast, blocking most of the throwing stars but a few managed to slip and jab its eyes.

'Well, that's one way to get it to focus on you.' Kid thought, seeing the snake hissing in pain again.

'At least now we know it's not totally indestructible.' Liz comments.

'Yeah! Let's gouge out its eyes like in Street Fighter!' Patty shouted with a sharp grin.

"I knew it was a bad idea to show you that game." Kid said with a sweat drop.

Kid flew off on his skateboard, quickly getting in front of the snake and firing a Death Cannon at its eyes.

"HIIIIIISSSSSS!" The snake hissed in pain.

'Yes! We're finally doing some damage.' Liz said happily.

But that made the snake rise up from the ground, showing its full height as it towered over Kid.

'Oh fuck.....' Liz said with a gulp.

"Liz, language, we have to keep a cool head if we want to win this fight." Kid said, though he was a bit rattled.

'Yeah! Let's skin this bitch!' Patty shouted.

More Death Cannon shots hit the underbelly of the snake, which also seemed to be tough as it hissed loudly! It's firm tongue lashing out, making Kid dodge as it sliced through the air like a whip!

That's when Blackstar, with Tsubaki back in his hands, threw the chain scythe at the tongue.

"Gotcha!" He shouted as the blade sliced through the tongue, making the snake hiss in pain!

"Nice job, Black Star! I think we have it's attention, we need to get it back to Maka!" Kid said.

"Sure! Come get me, you dumbass lizard!" Black Star mocked the giant snake.

Feeling anger, the king cobra started rushing towards Black Star.

'Of course being annoying and loud would work for once.' Tsubaki muttered.

Kid had followed to make sure the snake didn't stray from Black Star.

With the half-witch herself, she had remained at the wreckage of the church. Focusing both her magic and her soul resonance with Soul for the strongest attack possible.

"Soul, I don't know if this will work." Maka said witj closed eyes to help her focus. "Do you trust me?"

'I've been with you this long, it would be strange if I didn't.' Soul said.

Maka smiled as she prepares for the giant snake.

"Thank you. Now, we hit it on three." Maka said.

'Alright, cool.' Soul said.

"One." Maka said, seeing the giant snake getting closer.

'Two.' Soul said, feeling Maka's magic and soul wavelength coursing through him.

"Three!" They both shouted as Black Star jumped over Maka.

Combining all of their power into a single attack, making Soul change and expand into a giant, pure white, arrow shaped blade that was as big as Witch Hunter.

"MAGIC HUNTER!" They screamed!

"HISSSSSSSS!" The giant king cobra came at them with a bite, only for to be sliced right down the middle.

Through the entire body as it crashed around Maka before slowly crumbled away into nothing.

"... Didn't think that was actually going to work." Maka said, out of breath from such an attack.

'Me either.' Soul said, out of breath and nearly out of energy as his scythe form returned to normal.

He then returned to his human form, holding his knees to stay standing.

"But hey, we did it though." Soul said, grinning a bit.

"Yeah... but Medusa got away." Maka said

"But we'll get her again." Death the Kid said as he landed before the two, making his skateboard vanish. "Someday."

Gazing back at the church and remebering all of the people killed on such holy ground, Maka could only pray for their souls to rest in peace but she could only assume Ragnarok and Crona already consumed them.

"Um, not to put a damper on our victory but we should probably leave." Liz said.

"Especially if the police arrive. I don't think our leister cards will matter with this much property's damage." Tsubaki said as she and Black Star landed next to the group.

"Agreed, let's get out of here." Kid said with a nod.

Using his magic, Kid summoned the limo to their location and the group quickly entered before it flew off from Italy. They had been victorious but it didnt feel like a victory.

A church was destroyed, Italy was wrecked, and Crona got away thank to his mother, Medusa.

Safe to say, they weren't happy, especially Maka.

'Auntie, whatever you're after, I will stop you. No matter what it takes.' Maka thought as she clenched her fists.

That was a promise.
