SoMa at last

Chapter 29

Soul's POV~

We raced through the streets to meet up with the others. My heart was still pounding after Maka's little jump scare and I can't help but wonder what happened. She's deep in thought and acting different than before. I'm worried about her.

As we met up with the others, we found that they had successfully took down the tunnels with little to no trouble at all. A few of them encountered Arachnae's forces, but handled it well. We split up in groups, our normal teams, not and eat students alike, and headed to separate quadrants of the city to join the front lines.

The sky was gray, symbolizing dawn was on its way and the sun was slowly climbing over the mountains. When we reached the front lines the people already there reported no sightings or incidents yet.

We all waited quietly, gazing out towards the landscape. It wasn't like we wouldn't be able to see them coming, this whole city is surrounded by desert, there's nothing for them to hide behind for miles.

As the sky started to have an orange-ish glow we heard thunderous footsteps and large thumps. We all looked soundlessly towards the horizon. A long line of Arachnae's army stretching on too far to see. Every weapon transformed without a word if they weren't transformed already.

We watched as they thundered closer, then all at once started to move forward to great them. We were all ready, all prepared, and we would fight until we died to protect this city. We didn't know what we were getting into but it didn't matter, because we would fight, fight no matter what.

With every stride we got closer and soon they were right in front of us. Everything stopped for a few moments. We stopped walking and so did they. Time itself seemed to stop, and everything was still. We stood there, staring at them and them at us, without a word, without a sound. Then battle cries rung out and we charged, we met them head on and weapons clashed. Maka and I immediately resonated into gene hunter and took down three. We started clearing out the minions all while avoiding attacks and needles from the machines.

Maka yelled out orders and information like don't let the needles touch you. There were medical teams fighting and as soon as a person fell they got whisked away to be taking care of, fairly impressive.

One after another a machine or a follower went down, but so did a handful of our comrades. Our numbers were thin to begin with, and now were being stretched to their limits. Out of no where explosions started going off and I had no Idea if it was from our side or theirs, I really hoped it was ours.

Sand and dust whirled everywhere and soon we had created our own sand storm to fight in. It was almost impossible to see but because Maka could detect souls we were in the clear, I just prayed about everyone else.

Maka stumbled a few times but always got back up. I knew she was tired. We could only keep this up for a few more minutes but we had to push through. I knew she wouldn't give up and I wouldn't either. They were invading our home and it was time to give them hell.

"Guys! listen to my song! We'll have more power!"

They all nodded and group resonated. I played the piano furiously, giving it every ounce of power I could muster. Left and right we cut them down, working like a well oiled machine and knowing each others every move. More and more went down as we moved through the ranks.

Then that's when it all started going wrong.

Black star got hit square in the chest and went flying, breaking our soul resonance. Tsubaki transformed and held black star, calling his name and trying to make him wake up. Kidd managed to dodge two attacks before he was hit by a third that impaled him from the back and through the stomach. He dropped to his knees and liz and patty stood frantically over them. All the while Maka was shouting their names and didn't know who to run to to protect. She didn't have to make a decision as she was soon was busy dodging her own attacks. With gene hunter we cut of f some hands. Liz held patty in gun form and kept shooting at them, trying to keep kidd safe.
