SoMa at last

Chapter 19

Soul's Pov

So I've gone to school two weeks in a row. Wow, that's a new record. I mostly go hoping something will come up about Maka. I visit Stein everyday before and after school, but he gives me the same news: we have no leads but he's getting closer.

It's been little over a month now since Maka was stolen. I miss her so much. We have a bunch of alite teams and trackers out searching for her. Highly trained and skilled investigators trying to get to the bottom of this.

It's not only Maka they're searching for. They really want Arachnae and the threat she poses. All witches are bad, we already knew that, but somehow they always seem to have something up their sleeves that we didn't expect. They are always blindsiding us by resurrecting things. I mean- the things are dead, they are for a reason, can't we just leave it that way?

From all the research that's gone underway and the examinations of kid's samples (still pissed at him by the way) we've concluded that our hypothesis was correct.

Lady Arachnae has been building machines using the wizard Eibon's designs. She's been extracting dormant monster souls (which no one new still existed) and has been putting them inside said machines. This makes it easier for her to control the beasts and make sure they don't rebel against her. It seems she can do anything she pleases with these things and that includes making them stronger. We are facing another huge epidemic. I'm not sure Death City can handle anymore surprises. Everyone, Meisters, weapons and all are still recovering from the battle with Asura. In fact the whole world is still trying to recover. The madness really affected people. If we let this get too big, if we don't stop Arachnae early, than this will spiral out of control and we would be in some deep shit.

". . . Soul Eater Evans to see Mr. Death please."

The sound of my name pulled me from my thoughts. It took me a moment to remember where I was and what I was doing. I was in class, English no less, and I guess I was just called to the death room.

I saw black star getting up and the twins for they were also in my English class. We met up with everyone else in the hallway.

We entered the familiar death room and strolled up the path of guillotines.

"Hello! hello! hello!" Lord Death greeted.

"Hey" we responded.

"How are all of you?"

"You can't have us believe you called us down here just to have polite conversation. What's up?" Kidd said.

"Well, the sky is up my boy."

Kidd stared at his father.

"Now that's something i'd say. Stop stealing my thunder old man!" black star said.

"Black star! you can't talk to him like that!" Tsubaki shushed him.

I rolled my eyes, "seriously though, tell us what's going on." I say sternly.

"Well one of our teams has reported back. They've told us they've found a fortress in which they've been watching for a few days and they have reasons to believe it's Lady Arachnae's hide-out. "

Half the weight on my shoulders. We were so much closer to Maka. But that other half still remained, Maka wasn't safe yet and who knew what was to come with Arachnae.

At the sound of the possible Arachnae hide-out everyone rejoiced a little.

"That's great, but what's the significance of telling us?" Liz asked.

"Well I know how much your teammate meant to you so I thought it important for you to be the ones to lead the group of Meisters to storm the fortress." Death explained.
