Soul Eater - Malleus Maleficarum Redux [IC]

Introduction
Many, many years after the fall of the Kishin Asura, all was at peace... for a while anyway. Whatever madness possessed them to do it, none know, but one fateful day 13 years ago, a large group of Witches attacked the DWMA. The school survived, but the casualties were high. Thus, Lord Death issued a command to all senior Meisters, Weapons, and Death Scythes: the immediate, complete annihilation of all Witches. It was during the Witch Mass that Meister-Weapon pairs numbering in the thousands ambushed all the Witches attending their 'sacred' gathering, with the ones that escaped or didn't attend being easily mopped up at a later date by specially trained hunting squads. All in all, the operation was a huge success, with very few casualties on the DWMA's side. However, while the DWMA seemed to have eradicated every single one of them, legend has it that a group has survived, preparing to take vengeance...

It's nice and early, approximately 7:30AM to be exact, on Monday morning. Everyone and everything seemed to be going about their usual beginning-of-the-week morning routines - the sun was rising; students were waking up to get ready for, or in some cases already being at, class; birds were singing, among other relatively normal things. Indeed, everything would begin regularly and routinely, but by the end of the day the DWMA, no, Death City itself, would be thrown into a chaotic spiral...

"MOTHERFUCKER, EAT SHIT!" Restu was stomping on Goroshi's chest, slamming his left foot up and down with as much force as he can muster with each blow. However, as his attacks gradually became weaker, Goroshi grabbed him by the ankle, pulling Restu off his feet and onto the ground. Using this short reprieve, Goroshi rubbed his chest and used the moment to recover Restu was back on his feet shortly after, with a nasty cut on his forearm from where he fell. The two took the moment to catch their breath before they charged at each other once again, roaring incoherently as they wailed upon each other with only their fist and feet.

A couple minutes into the fight, and neither boys showed any intention of giving up. In fact, they ended up in a chocking match: Restu was on top of Goroshi, bearing his full weight down upon his neck, but Goroshi also had Restu's neck in a death grip, and with his log arms he was able to extend them far enough that Restu was struggling to keep his hands around Goroshi's neck had he not straddled him. Restu had the advantage of position, but Goroshi was better suited in this situation. Around them other students watched and even cheered the two, despite both their intentions were basically bring each other as close to death as possible, if not outright murdering each other.

Flood and Biohazard were just confused. "Should we stop this Biohazard?" Flood asked.
"Maybe." Biohazard said as he turned into his rapier form and Flood grabbed him. Flood then dashed towards them and with one hand held the rapier to Restu's throat and with the other had was channeling soul energy through his fingers pointed at Goroshi's head.
"I suggest you two let go before someone gets hurt." Flood said smiling sweetly at them.

[Lucius Cypher]

The two boys didn't break eye contact when a third party interfered. "That's the intention!" Goroshi then threw Restu towards the tip of the rapier, which he managed to avoid but at the cost of getting a cut on his neck. It wasn't deep, but it bleed and annoyed him. Goroshi quick got to his feet as Restu tore off a bit of his shrit to cover the cut on his neck, but now this other person stood between them. "Stay outta this! This ain't your fight, it's mines." Goroshi chuckled as he spat out some blood. "You have shit for brains if you think that's true. This place is better off without you, and I'll make sure of that!" Goroshi activated one of his powers, Absolute Territory, creating a sphere of energy around him. Not only would this place certain attacks, but anyone touching it would get hit with immense pain. "This will be over quickly!" Goroshi wasn't the only one with tricks, however; by the time Goroshi unleashed his attack and charged, there was ten Restu's circling around Goroshi. "You're an idiot if you think I'm going to attack you with that barrier up. Might as well just hang yourself now!" Goroshi roared and charged at one of the Restu's but none of them were allowing Goroshi to get an inch closer to him.

Novella and Aki turned the corner to find the battle.
"I wanna fight!!! Let me at them Novel!"
She burst into weapon form, only to clatter to the ground.
"Aki... This is not out fight..."
She says.
"Come on your just a chicken!"
Novella picked up Aki and started shaking her
"I AM NOT A CHICKEN, TAKE IT BACK!"
Aki teases her, and then turns back into human form.
Then Novella tackles her.

[Floodtalon]

"Morons." He said quietly to himself as he dashed towards Restu ready to knock him out.

[Lucius Cypher]

One of the Restu's noticed the other guy charging at him, and avoided him even though he might have just been an illusion. Meanwhile, Goroshi was chasing the other Restu's, who were still moving faster then Goroshi. "Ayo! Stay out of this, this isn't your fight!" Seeing that this other person was intent to stop them, Restu devised a plan to get rid of the both of them. So when the other guy tried to knock out Restu, one of the other Restu's lured Goroshi to intercept. Blindly chasing after the Restu, Goroshi followed, and was about to collide into the other man, while Goroshi's Absolute Territory was still up. "STAND STILL AND DIE ALREADY!"

"Soul resonance!" A duo of voices rang out clearly with the standard statement announcing that soul resonance was being activated, and they echoed around the room just below the DWMA often used for training. "Now, Demon! Let's do this!" Pan the view to find a man in a brown suit wielding a huge sword with both hands, the sword glowing with soul wavelength. "Got it! Ready!" The man raised the weapon over his head, and the duo of voices rang out again. "Soul Disable!!!" The man brought the sword down on the ground, but nothing happened. The sword became a claymore with an intricate crossguard, but the shape of the blade was definitely that of a claymore. Then the claymore glowed with soul wavelength again and changed into a tall man with white hair and glasses. The man in the suit looked disappointed. "Keep trying, Skizzerkiin. I'm sure you'll get it eventually." The man in the suit straightened up and looked to his weapon, whose name was obviously Demon. "I'm not so sure anymore. I've been working on this technique for years, with no results whatsoever. I've tried every resonation rate I can think of, but nothing ever happens!" Demon sighed. The Death Scythe had become used to his partner's self-pity, but it still amazed him how much Skizzerkiin managed to pity himself. "Look, don't give up hope now. We're close." He smiled as he looked Skizzerkiin in the eyes. "I can feel it."

[Floodtalon]

"It's my fight when your constant yelling is annoying me." Flood said as he started firing soul energy out of his hands at the illusions and hopefully the real one.

[Lucius Cypher]

"Arg, stop! He's mine!" A blast hit Goroshi's barrier, which was starting to fade, but now he was angry that someone else was trying to kill Restu. Only he can kill Restu. Meanwhile, the other Restu's backed away and dodged the best they could. "Ayo, if our yelling it bothering you, then what are you doing here? This is a school for killing, people are going to make noise. Might as well complain that a bathroom smells like shit." Goroshi lashed out at one of the Restu, but his a fake. "That's not what this school is about, you lout! We're here to protect others and stop injustice, not kill people as we see fit!" Goroshi grabbed Restu, only to reveal this one was a fake too. The other Restu's began to chide Goroshi, while also making sure the other guy or any one else won't interfere. "Does it matter why? We kill people, be they the guilty or the innocent. You want to kill me, that guy wants to kill you, the only reason we're one of the best is because we kill everyone else before they can kill us."
