Otakus Unite!

Chapter 39 Madness Transfer

Stephanie's POV

I laid on the ground, exhausted. None of us could move. I sighed in defeat, Medusa was stronger than she looked. And with Kid fighting alongside her, that didn't help at all.

"Kid. Please, stop this." I heard Jennifer mutter. His eyes were a duller gold and there were five lines that went from his neck to his mouth. It's just like the manga, he's being controlled by the madness!

"Kid! Please! Stop this! You've already harmed Kelly by blasting her in the head. Why would you do that?!" Lauren yelled.

"It was my order. I was told to kill her." Kid replied, bluntly. I looked at him in horror. "Kid, wh-" "OH, SHUT UP ALREADY!" Edith shouted, punching Kid in the face. We all stared at Edith, who had enough strength to stand, with shock. Even Medusa was surprised herself.

"You harmed us. Everyone who is lying on this ground right here." she muttered in a low voice. She actually scarred me, and I'm rarely ever scarred by her.

"You sent Kelly to near death. And now what else are you going to do? Kill Medusa too and take over? What is it with you people? Those people driven by madness to kill? I don't understand. But if I dwell into the madness myself, maybe I'll experience it!"

And with those words Edith grabbed Kid's face and her hand started glowing, a black gas poured out from Kid's eyes and started flowing towards Edith's.

"Edith! What're you doing?!" I shouted. "This is the only way to get Kid out of the madness. You guys can easily defeat me. With me already wounded it'll be easy. I hope you guys will be able to do that for me." Edith said.

"Get your hands off him! Vector arrow!" Medusa chanted has a dozen arrows were sent flying at Edith, she took the hit, but she never let go. "I won't stop! I can't!" Edith shouted as she started to scream in pain.

The next few seconds were like a blur to me, however. All I saw was a quick streak of white, Edith falling to the ground, and Kelly standing there, face to face with, a still corrupted, Death the Kid.

Kelly's POV

~Twenty minutes earlier~

I ran out of the healing center, ignoring the pleads of Stein, Wendy, and even Milli, to go back and rest. I just couldn't stop running. I knew my friends were in trouble and I had to save them.

"Kelly, knock it off!" I heard Milli shout at me as she grabbed my shoulders, spinning me around. I looked her dead in the eye. "You're wounded, your condition isn't stable enough to go back out there!"

"I don't care anymore! I will go out there and fight. With or without you being there to be my weapon." I said. Milli looked at me with anger. "You will not go out there! I forbid it!"

"I forbid it! Blah, blah, blah! Look, so what you're a year older than me. I'm going out there. You can't stop me, Milli. My friends are out there, I will go and save them." She looked at me with so much anger, it looked like she'd explode.

"Hey! Kelly!" I turned to see Natsu and his group as they ran over to us. "Hey, what's up with that?" Natsu asked, looking at my clothing. I looked down to realize that my clothes had blood all over them, especially near my neck on the back. "N-nothing." I replied.

"You need some new clothes." Lucy said before taking out one of her gate keys. "Open! Gate of the maiden! Virgo!" Lucy yelled as Virgo appeared. "How may I assist you, princess?" Virgo asked.

"Bring Kelly, here, some new clothes." Lucy said before Virgo dissapaeared and reappeared with new clothes for me. She handed them to me and I thanked her. I walked behind a bush to get changed into a long sleeved, light purple dress with a flower pattern adorning the sleeves. I also wore black leggings and strap-on black flats, and I put my hair into a braid. As I walked out, I noticed that Natsu's group was replaced with a group I haven't seen in a while.

"Hey, Vylan. Nice to see you." I smiled. Vylan smiled back. "Hey, I heard you needed a lift to Nirvana." she said.

I looked over at Milli, who apparently explained everything to Vylan. I smiled and nodded. "Okay, let's head off then."

~Timeskip to the plane ride~

I stood next to Vylan as she flew the plane. Milli sat next to the countries behind us.

"Hey, Kelly?" "Yeah? What is it?" "Is it true? Did Kid really shoot you?" Vylan asked.

I put my hand to the back of my head, tracing the stitches where the hole once was and sighed. "Yeah, he did." I mumbled. "He practically betrayed us."

"Practically?! He did betray us!" Vylan shouted. "He was influenced by madness! I don't think he would've done it if he wasn't!" I countered.

Vylan was about to protest when she noticed the countries and Milli were staring. "Is everything alright, aru?" China asked. "Everything's okay." I smiled before turning to face Vylan again. "Don't worry. Everything will work out fine."

As Vylan dropped us off at Nirvana in her plane, I landed on my feet, Milli in her weapon form. I waved at Vylan before she flew off. I ran over to where I could hear screaming. I turned a corner to see Edith clutching Kid's face in her hand, black mist emerging from his eyes and into Edith's

"How'd she learn that spell?!" I whispered. "Kelly, we need to separate Edith and Kid before something bad happens!" Milli shouted at me. I nodded as I rushed forward and slashed the katana between Edith's hand and Kid's face. Edith's hand contracted from Kid's face, just in time for me to not slice it off.

I turned to face Kid. He glared down at me and I glared up at him, due to me being shorter than him. "It's time to end this." I mumbled. Kid smirked. "Time to kill you for good."
