Devilish Demonstration

“Did you call me Johnny-kun?” Medusa suddenly speaks only inches from your ear, her appearance on your shoulder causing you to jump a bit and turn to face her at the speed of light.

“Gah! Whew…Medusa-hime, stop trying to give me a heart attack,” you playfully chide, the small serpent which merely chuckling in response as she slithers into a comfortable position on your shoulder.

“No promises Johnny-kun,” Medusa smirks, her snake like features in full bloom seconds before she returns to a normal curious stare, “So what do you need Eruka and me for?”

Nodding your head to the side you indicate Tia and Sung-sun, the two women watching with interest as you speak, “If we’re going to form any kind of trust we have to show each other what we can do right? Since Tia-chan and Sun-chan know you and the others aren’t Shinigami or human I just thought it would be nice if you put on a little demonstration of sorts.”

Medusa chuckles, her glinting golden eyes turning to the pairing of Maka and Soul with mischievous eyes, “Oh really now? I take it Maka and Soul are going to take part as well~”

“Medusa-hime,” you warn, lightly tapping her on her head as you speak, “remember what I told Frankie-san.”

Medusa is quick to nod with an irritated sigh, “Alright…just for you Johnny-kun I won’t put the little loud-mouths in their place.”

“We heard that!” Maka and soul scream in tandem, both of them glaring at Medusa with the heat of hell at their back.

“Girls, enough,” you say, a gentle but firm tone telling them to end their nonsense sooner rather than later, “let’s just get this demonstration going.”

With a slow crack of her knuckles Medusa turns her head, glancing over her shoulder and down your back to Eruka who has taken her place on your coat once more, “You going to join in Eruka?”

Eruka, suffering from a fresh bump on her head, quickly shakes her head, “N-No, geko! I-I’ll s-sit this one out Medusa-sama, geko!”

Medusa shrugs and hops off your shoulder, her tiny body gently floating from yours to the ground below. The moment her bare feet touch the ground Medusa grins, her hands quickly twisting and turning in rhythmic movements as she chants, “Nake snake cobra cobubra.” As Medusa chants her body slowly begins to rise, a pitch black vector arrow tail sliding from the darkness of her black cloak and implanting into the ground to act as a fulcrum for her movement and balance. With grace and skill Medusa smoothly crosses her legs and sit upon the air below her, her body idly waving back and forth upon her vector tail much like a snake ready to strike.

Meanwhile Maka and Soul have begun their own preparations, Soul transforming into her bladed form while Maka takes firm hold of the transformed woman’s iron handle. For a few moments Maka only stands in place, her shoulders rising and falling with each slow and steady intake and exhale of air. However, this is quickly changed as Maka swiftly spins Soul in her hands, a skilled and graceful twirl that ends with Soul held high above her head, “Soul Resonance: Witch Hunter!” With her declaration Soul’s blade begins to glow, a rainbow colored hue covering the razor sharp edge from handle to tip seconds before it grows to massive proportions for its tiny size.

“Ku, ku, ku,” Medusa chuckles, her hands moving with twisting and sharp movements as she hisses, “Let’s see you block this, Vector Arrow!”

Just as it had when Medusa dueled with Stein, hundreds of sharp black spears shoot from Medusa’s cloak, a massive wave of encroaching pain and **** only causing Maka to hold Soul closer and bring her blade forward with a powerful swing. In a wild clash of energy the two tiny warriors clashed their attacks, their unique and inhuman abilities showcased for every prying eye as Soul’s With Hunter easily crushes Medusa’s Vector Arrows. With a slick spin Maka spins into a fresh attacking stance, a confident grin on her lips as Soul fades back to her usual scythe shape, “That all you’ve got Medusa?”

“Ku, ku, ku child,” Medusa hisses as she holds a hand out toward the young meister, “We have only just begun, Vector Plate!”

Maka’s eyes widen as they shoot to the ground, a massive black arrow forming beneath her feet causing her to rocket toward the waiting witch with fearful eyes. Medusa watches with a small hint of sadistic glee as Maka streaks toward her, her bare foot rearing back as she prepares to launch a powerful kick into the young girl’s side…

In the blink of an eye your hand slides into the path between the two women, your palm easily catching Maka and Soul as you bring them up out of the way of Medusa’s Vector Plate path, “I think that’s just about enough, good Job Maka-chan, Soul-chan, Medusa-hime.”

While Maka and a newly transformed Soul look sheepish and disappointed in their obvious loss Medusa merely preens, her smile wide as she hops back into your shoulder, “Thank you Johnny-kun, anything for you~”
