-Maka: I stare at his face as his eyes begin to lose the sparkled haze, I pull my hand out, hand gripping his soul firmly. I cup his chin and watch as the last bit of magic disappears from his system, I smile sweetly, "Welcome back." he falls to his knees and I kneel down and slowly push his soul back into his chest. "Live with this soul in hand. I bring you the life you had." As I whisper the charm into his ear he gasps as his lifeline and his body are reconnected. He stares into my eyes and I stare back, my eyes weld with tears and I press my forehead to his.
-Soul: "...M...Maka...?" I can't help but stare into those green eyes as they cry, leaving teardrops on my cheeks. I'm frozen in place as I hear my own heart pounding in my chest. "Maka...?" I must sound pathetic, continuously calling her name in a worrisome tone, fearful that she'll disappear the second I move. "Maka..." Tears weld in my eyes as I lose control and grab her, wrapping my arms tightly around her, pressing my face into her neck as I hug her.
-Maka: I hug back, fingers curled into his hair while my nose presses into it, I smell his sweet scent that I knew so well. His hair soft and easily sliding between my fingers as my heart pounds, we sit there for a moment embracing one another.
-Jinx: "This is all so touching but did you forget I'm here?"
-Maka: I look up and catch a glimpse of Jinx hurdling towards us from the air, in a split second I roll us over and grab souls hand. "Soul Resonance!!" In a split second he transforms and our resonance spikes to maximum, then explodes with even more power, Souls scythe transforms from its usual Hunter forms into something completely new. It glows bright colors as the blades grows many times its size then changing to completely white with a brightness that hurts your eyes. "Puppet Shadow!!" Strings of black shadows leave the blade and charge straight for Jinx, she turns herself mid-air and dodges, landing to the side and stands.
-Soul: Shadows?
-Maka: I take a breath and close my eyes, "Death Canon." I point the scythe in her direction and a massive beam explodes from the blade, hurdling towards Jinx, I grip my chest and gasp, raspy gusts of air leaving my mouth with every exhale, and a wheeze with every inhale.
-Soul: "Maka you have to stop using those moves so recklessly!"
-Maka: "I can't be careful anymore or else she'll just get away again!!" As if mimicking Blackstar I place my index and middle finger up and keep the rest curled and place in front of my face as if trying to keep my own wavelength balanced and concentrated, I close my eyes and force as much power out of my wavelength as possible, "Now show me that damn Godly power you always blab about Blackstar!!!" I scream at the top of my lungs as the same lines that appear on Blackstar's face when using Tsubaki's demon sword mode, appear on my face, my eyes blacken and I can feel the enormous intensity of his wavelength begin to combine with my soul. As my soul is being taken over by the wavelength I ram Souls blade into the ground, the top of his scythe pointed straight in Jinx's direction, as he powers up for a shot I send the shadows at Jinx from all over, when it finally catches hold of her they wrap around her tightly.
-Soul: *This is too much...* as I feel the power in my wavelength spiking beyond anything it's ever experienced I realize exactly what she's trying to do. "Stop!!" She ignores, or probably can't even hear me. "Maka please!!" I try to fight the power she's giving me but with the power she's gaining all of a sudden for this fight, I can't do anything but let her swing me around. "Maka I can't lose you again!! Please!!"

Maka...!!

Maka!!!

MAKA

MAKA!!!!!!!

-Soul: Suddenly her upper body is thrown back and her chest points to the ceiling, an explosion of light beaming from her chest and flooding out of her. The shadows quickly retract and release Jinx, the resonance I was getting from Maka lowers and my blade goes back to its regular size and black and red tint. The bright light beaming from her fades away and I gain control of myself and transform just as she falls to her knees, I catch her and cradle her as her eyes struggle to stay open. "Damnet no!!"
-???: "There's no way she could've handled all that power, only a big guy like me could handle that."
-Soul: I hear a smirk right after and my eyes go wide, while holding Maka in my lap I turn and see them all standing there, between Jinx and I as if a shield. My mouth gaping as my friends prepare for a treacherous battle."Blackstar?!" As he stands there, Tsubaki in hand as their wavelength gives off a red smokey glow, her blade curved and pointed and many times its regular size, the shadows lingering around him ready to do his bidding, his hair pitch black but with blue tips, the demon lines expanding all over his body and up his face as I catch a glimpse of razor sharp teeth as he smiles big, ready to kick some ass. "Kid?!" All three lines of Sanzu connected and hovering above his head as if mimicking a crown, a long black cloak flowing in the wind that's still circling from their entrance from Maka, tattered at the end. Liz and Patty in his hands but nowhere near Death Canon mode, instead they're black with a smokey black wavelength that is also very visible, his eyes have turn completely white and glowing and he even looks older, more mature. This must be his Shinigami mode, but completed, his suit is even more crisp and perfect that his normal clothes. His pistols pointed straight at Jinx and their size is much bigger than death canon. As I look them up and down I notice very clearly just how much they've changed, they've trained and became stronger.
-Kid: "Thanks to Maka, we're here to save you." I glance back and smile. "But it seems she had a little present prepared for us." I chuckle slightly and look down at my clothes, stars in my eyes as I sigh happily. "Such perfection, Maka really does care."
-Blackstar: "I hate to admit it but this is first time I was able to control the damn demon, without Maka there's no way I'd be here, Soul...she really is amazing. I bet she has something in store for you to, so hurry up and wake the nerd up!"
-Soul: His giant smile reassures me that Maka is fine, she's not dead just worn out. I look down and I confirmed it by placing my ear to her chest and hearing her steady heartbeat. "Maka..." At one call her eyes open and she stares at me, I smile softly, "Welcome back." I say mimicking her when she saved me moments ago. She smiles and sits up, rubbing her head.
-Maka: I look up and see my friends there and I smile. "It worked..." I sigh happily and run my fingers through my hair, I turn to Soul and hold out my hand. "Now it's our turn!" He grabs my hand and we hoist each other up, he transforms and I drag my hand across his blade, the bright white color returns and follows my hand, the Black Blood room dress appears on me, as the blade turns white it follows down my dress, tattering the bottom just like Kids cloak and making the tips of each torn tatted white, just like Blackstar's hair almost, with the bottom of the dress tattered it now reaches just above my knees. I ready my weapon to fight, and we all turn and look at Jinx.
-Kid, Liz, Patty, Blackstar, Tsubaki, Soul and Maka: "LETS GO SOUL RESONANCE!!"
