Chapter 2: Remedial Lessons (Part 2)

(Death Room)

"He was the strongest meister to ever graduate the academy. Dr. Franken Stein. He's really strong."

"So this Stein was your weapon death scythe's first partner." Kid implied.

Liz asked. "And you sent a group of students to collect his soul?"

Patty replied. "He should send you big sis! You can do it!"

Liz sweatdropped. "Only if I felt like dying...I think you're overestimating me a little Patty. I wouldn't last 2 seconds."

"Huh?" Patty was now confused.

"Aren't these just remedial lessons? I believe you're asking too much from most of that group father." Kid replied. "You know what'll happen don't you? Aside from Soshi, they'll all die."

Lord Death was silent as he looked at the mirror.

(Patchwork lab)

Soul gazed at the building. "So this is where we'll find Stein. Let's hurry and finish this guy off. I'm ready for these 'extra lessons' to be over."

Maka looked to Soshi and whispered. "Soshi-chan, what can you tell use about Dr. Stein?"

Soshi sighed rubbing his temples. "Well Maka-chan, I'm not sure where to even begin explaining about him...Stein is...for a lack of a better word...weird. As you can probably tell from his handiwork on this area. He's 'curious' about things."

Maka looked around. "Nice architecture."

They even saw stitches on the mice. Suddenly they all heard a squeaking noise.

"Hey something's coming." Soul replied.

Soshi, Soul, Black*Star, Heart, and Yuffie all narrowed their eyes as the sound came closer.

The mentioned man from earlier Stein rolled out of his lab and fell off his chair landing on his back on the ground.

Stein got up, patting his lower back and got right back on his chair. "Damn it!" He began to turn the screw in his head again. "It still doesn't feel quite right! That should do it." Stein then stood up and dragged his chair back inside. "Ok, I'm gonna try that again."

Soshi rubbed his temples again and shaking his head. "Stein loves doing that."

Soul looked at Soshi. "Shouldn't you stop him Soshi? You the only one of us who's familiar with Stein."

Soshi sighed. "I would Soul, unfortunately even I don't fully understand Stein."

Black*Star said. "I kinda want to see what happens next."

"Yeah, so do I." Sakiri replied.

Again Stein came rolling out of his lab and fell off his chair. "Gwah-oof!"

Everyone but Soshi thought. 'Is he for real?'

Stein looked at the DWMA students from his prone position. "Was there something you kids needed to see me for?"

"Yeah, if you're really Dr. Stein." Soul said.

"You did this, you're the one who turned Sid into a zombie." Maka replied.

"Huh...So that's it." Stein got up and returned to his chair. "I'm guessing you're all students at DWMA academy right? Hello Soshi, it's nice to see you again are you doing this lesson too? You're leagues above your peers you know."

Soshi replied. "No Stein-sensei, I'm just here as a witness and support...You and I both know we can't truly fight with 1 star students around."

Stein chuckled. "You do have a point there...They probably couldn't handle witnessing a full battle between us."

Maka asked. "Why did you do this? For revenge? A grudge against DWMA?"

Stein replied. "No nothing like that, my motives are much more simple: 'Experimentation' and 'Observation', Those are all the motives for any true scientist and I am a scientist, Everything in the world is an experimental research subject including myself of course." His eyes seemed to gaze straight through the group only Soshi was unaffected.

Maka looked rather hesitant. "Hey Soul? Doesn't something feel weird?"

"Hm? You think so?" Soul replied.

Stein said after careful analyzation. "Your soul wavelengths aren't very stable and are completely different from each other: I see one soul who's careless and arrogant (Soul) and another soul who's honest and strong-willed (Maka) You two look like you're in resonance but you're not."

"What the hell? You mean you can see the soul of a person who's still alive? In that case, you must be a meister." Soul questioned.

Maka said. "He was also able to read our personalities and only the best meisters can do that."

Soul replied. "So what? Maka you can see souls clearly like that too right?" He gave her a thumbs up.

Maka sweated slightly. "Oh of course I can."

Soshi sweatdropped. 'She's lying...Maka isn't quite at that level yet.'

Stein inquired. "Your soul seems confused by that last statement...How cute."

Maka quickly covered herself as if exposed. "Shut up! Stop looking at my soul you creep!"

A voice yelled. "Yeah shut up little doctor man!"

They all looked up to see both Yuffie and her brother standing on top of the roof.

The group still on the ground thought together. 'When did they get up there?'

Black*Star exclaimed. "No one wants to hear you talk! Yahoo! How about we change the conversation to a more interesting topic..Like me for example!"

"Or how about me?" Yuffie replied. "Who cares if you see souls? It's not like you're gonna see anything interesting." She and Black*Star leapt down and landed perfectly on the ground.

"As far as my sis and I are concerned..The only souls worthy looking at are our own!" Black*Star finished.

Stein chuckled as he studied the two Star clan members' souls. "You both have pretty interesting souls. Your souls are incredibly self-centered and more than a little wild." He turned the screw on his head. "It's probably very difficult to find compatible weapon partners."

"No more talking! Come on sis let's show him how big we are!" Black*Star yelled.

Blue*Star (Yuffie) nodded. "I'm ready brother! Let's get him!"

The two Star clan siblings charged Stein and jumped. Both of them aiming with kicks.

Stein easily swiveled in his chair blocking them with his arm, before he rolled at Black*Star and punched him and then delivered the same to Blue*Star.

"Black*Star-kun/Yuffie-chan!" Sakiri and Heart cried out in worry for their respective partners.

Stein turned to them. "Hm? Ah I see you two are the wild ones' partners. The red-eyed girl with silver hair is quite accepting of her partner's faults and is that admiration I sense towards the strangely dressed boy with the same red eyes as hers (Soul)? No it's more, much more. While the pink-haired girl greatly admires her partner. It's no surprise that you two would be the ones most compatible with them."

Soul grumbled. "Who do you think you are old man?"

"Now that I've gathered the necessary initial data from all of you...I think we're ready to start the experiment." Stein replied with a smile.

(Chupa Cabara Club)

Death scythe laughed. "Looks like I've ran out of Sake!"

"You drink so fast I can hardly keep up!" Blair replied. "Just a minute!" She recited her magic command and made a bottle of sake float up.

Death scythe replied. "Blair-chan you're so good and it's only your 3rd day working I would think you've been here forever!"

"Really? Aw thank you!" Blair replied and asked. "You went to the school today didn't you?" The floating bottle poured into a glass while a mixing tool stirred them. "How'd it go? How are things with Maka?"

Death scythe looked absolutely devastated even in his intoxicated state. "She ignored me...No matter what I do, she completely ignores me..." He replied sinking deeper into his depression with tears falling.

"Poor thing, Maka is such a darling girl." Blair grabbed the newly poured and mixed drink and set it on the table. "Anyway, your divorce was finalized last month and it's time to move on. Let's see if we can't cheer you up 'Kay?"

Death scythe sunk even deeper into his depression. "What do I have to be cheerful about? Custody goes to the mother..My wife, I mean...My ex-wife won't let me contribute anything...No alimony or medical expenses...What can I ever be to Maka now? I'm a father without any fathering duties."

Blair spoke up. "That doesn't mean you're not her dad, being a parent is about more than just money right? You should fight for her!"

"But spending money is a way of expressing love too right?" Death scythe replied. "Feels so frustrating not being able to do anything for her."

"Okay then think about it this way...with all that extra money you'll be able to indulge in your bad habits much more than usual...Plus maybe we can even find your a new wife!" Blair raised her fist to the air cheerfully. "Let's go!"

"I can't do that! I never even thought of re-marrying! This is the worst day I had since I was assigned Stein as my meister." Death scythe mumbled.

A blonde woman came up and lightly chided. "This is not good Blair...You're depressing the customer."

Blair just looked cute for the camera.

(Scene Change, Patchwork Lab)

Maka swung her scythe at Stein but Stein was easily avoiding her attacks even in his chair.

Stein rolled behind Maka."You must be scythe meister Maka..." He kicked off using Maka and head butted Black*Star in the face.

"Ow! My face!" The arrogant boy complained.

"Hm...Scythe Meister Maka...It sounds familiar, if I could just put my finger on it." Stein then smacked his fist into his other hand in realization. "Ah! I know...You're Spirit-sempai's little daughter!"

(Chupa Cabara Club)

"The time I spent as his partner...It was an absolute hell." The newly named Spirit mumbled still sitting in the same spot as before.

(Patch Work Lab)

Soul asked. "Who's Spirit?"

Maka explained. "That's what my father was called before he became a Death scythe...But how do you know about that?"

"I can remember it even now...The peaceful look on his face in his sleep." Stein replied with a psychotic grin in his memories.

(Chupa Cabara Club)

"When I was asleep...He..He...Would do experiments on my body! And he did them for 5 years!" Spirit cried.

"For 5 years? I can't believe you never noticed them!" The blonde woman said.

Blair replied. "Wow! You must've been really stupid back then!"

"The only strange thing I noticed was the new scars that appeared on my body every day...If my ex-wife hadn't noticed, he'd still be doing his evil experiments on me!" Spirit screamed in terror.

(Patch Work Lab A/N: Lots of scene changes in this chapter aren't there?)

"Ah, so you're sempai's darling little daughter and the daughter of the woman who took my test subject away." Stein seemed to glare at Maka now making her a little afraid. "I wonder what kind of test subject you'd make?"

(Chupa Cabara Club)

Blair asked. "But you were Stein's weapon partner for 5 years weren't you? Doesn't that mean your soul was compatible with his?"

"You don't understand...If he has any interest in a weapon he learns to master it to a certain extent...He's much stronger and smarter than my wife, sorry my ex-wife...The one who made me into a death scythe..." Spirit now looked serious. "Stein's a genius meister!"

(Path Work Lab)

Stein moved towards Maka with his palm out.

Soul replied. "It's just a tap...we can block it!"

"Okay!" Maka said raising him to block.

Soshi yelled. "Maka, wait don't!" But the warning came too late.

Stein struck the scythe and sent Maka and the weapon back with a small explosion and you could see yellow lightning like energy emitting from his hand.

Maka stood up. "What...What did he?"

"What the hell did he do to me?" Soul asked.

Soshi replied. "Stein channeled his soul wavelength into you two and caused internal damage."

Maka looked at Soshi in shock. "He can do what?-!"

"Ordinarily a Meister needs a Weapon to channel his or her soul wavelength into attacks, but certain unique meisters...like me and Stein-sensei can directly attack using our soul wavelength without first needing to channel it through our weapons, though we can still do that too and if we're powerful enough while fighting alone, just imagine how strong we are when we actually have a weapon with us."

Maka and Soul were just stunned by this information.

(Death room)

"I don't believe it." Kid said in shock from what he witnessed. "It's true that demon weapons have physical attack power. But they're primarily used by meisters to channel their soul wavelength. But that man...He can attack directly using his soul without needing to channel it through a weapon."

"Yup!" Lord Death replied. "The relationship between Meister and Weapon are like the relationship between an electric guitar and an amplifier. On its own an electric guitar (Meister) is only capable of emitting a small noise (Soul wavelength). But when you connect the guitar to an amplifier(Weapon)...You enhance the sound waves and the result is much more powerful than before. Witch Hunter, the technique Maka-chan and Blue*Star-chan used in the battle with Sid is a perfect example of this...Even if Maka-chan failed to use it properly...But in Stein's case, he can use the guitar to make a huge noise without the amplifier."

"That's incredible...I can only imagine how strong he must be when he does use a weapon." Kid replied.

Even Sendo and Patty were paying close attention to the fight going on in the mirror.

(Patch Work Lab)

Stein finally stood up and turned the huge bolt in his head again, cutting his fingers like scissors. "Let's see..How should I begin the experiment?"

Maka was still shocked from what Soshi had explained earlier.

Soul sensed his meister's uneasy feelings. "What's wrong Maka? Your soul waves are completely chaotic!"

Maka suddenly charged forward.

"Maka!"

Maka swung Soul only for Stein to blast them with another soul attack.

Soul actually coughed up blood in his human reflection. "That was a dumb move!"

Stein grabbed Maka by her pig tails and turned her around.

Soul reverted to human form. "Maka."

Stein pulled off Maka's black coat and raised her shirt slightly revealing her slim stomach. "Ah you have such lovely skin..." He grabbed a marker and began to draw on Maka's stomach. "Now, where should I put the knife first?"

Suddenly Black*Star appeared behind him. "I'm gonna smash your glasses you asshole! You're not the only one who can attack with his soul wavelength!" He had his arms in position for his soul force attack. "Secret move: Black*Star big Wave!" A star-shaped soul force came from in front of his elbow as he jabbed Stein in the back and then followed through with a punch.

(Death Room)

Lord Death watched. 'Impressive! Black*Star-kun's soul wavelength is quite large for his age...However the wielder isn't quite at the same level.'

"Dad, Soshi's the only one that can match Stein...The other 5 are no match for him." Kid said standing beside his father. "Yet he is not assisting them in this fight?"

"Yes, it is true that Soshi-kun can easily rival Stein-kun. But this is a lesson for Maka and the others who failed their missions. Soshi-kun is just there to support them." Death explained.

"He always did help out his friends." Kid replied. "I still remember the time he helped me fix my painting in the living room."

Liz laughed. "Yeah, you ended up falling sick until Soshi-kun moved the painting just right."

Kid blushed in embarrassment. "Thank you for that Liz."

(Back with the fight)

Black*Star's attack failed. Stein was not even fazed. "Nice try."

Soul was shocked. "It didn't work?-!"

Stein adjusted his glasses. "I analyzed the characteristics of your soul and adjusted my own wavelength to match it...The instant you made your attack we became like Meister and Weapon."

"You stopped my attack?-!" Black*Star said shocked.

"He can do something like that?-!" An equally shocked Kid replied. "I thought Soshi was the only person who could adjust their soul like that!"

"Afraid not Kid...Observe, respond, a highly-flexible soul...That is Stein's greatest strength." Death replied.

Stein ran at Black*Star and held his hands on either side of the boy's head. He sent his wavelength into Black*Star, who yelled out as the stronger meister's wavelength attacked him.

Soul yelled. "Stop it!"

Blue*Star yelled. "Brother!"

Sakiri cried out. "Black*Star-kun!"

Stein finally stopped and Black*Star fell to the ground seemingly dead.

Blue*Star and Sakiri both ran to the lifeless Black*Star.

(Death room)

Kid had enough. "Damn! I can't take this anymore! Liz! Patty! We're going over there too!"

"Okay." Liz replied.

"Kay!" Patty cheered.

Sendo got up and stood beside her brother. "I'm going too big brother!"

Tsuruko stood beside her.

Death raised one bone-white hand. "Now hold on there Kid-kun, Sendo-chan...This is their lesson. Soshi-kun can help them if it gets too rough. And besides you're both grim reapers and you're not even students of the academy."

Kid looked back at his father. "Then we'll become DWMA students. Dad, please add us to the roster." He and his sister along with their weapon partners began to leave.

"Wait guys..." Death sweatdropped watching them leave.

(Patch Work lab)

Soul checked on his friend. "Black*Star."

Soshi narrowed his eyes. "Don't you think that was a little too much Stein-sensei?"

"I suppose so." Stein replied.

Soul glared at the scientist meister. "Stein you bastard! You won't get away with this! Maka let's do this!" He turned to see his meister on the ground trembling.

Maka could see Stein's soul and it was enormous even larger than Black*Star's, Stein's soul was bright blue and had a huge bolt like the one in his head, stitches, and a tear in it. Maka said scared. "No..No way...His level's way too high! We can't win!"

Stein chuckled and took a drag from his cigarette. "I'm assuming you saw my soul."

Soshi frowned. 'Maka can now clearly see souls.' He stepped in front of Maka and Soul. "Maka, you unlocked Soul Perception now haven't you?" A terrified nod was his answer. "Okay then I'll release my soul wavelength and I want you to compare mine and Stein's-sensei." He received another nod and began to concentrate.

Maka looked up at Soshi as his soul appeared around him. It was a large white orb with some traces of purple (Witch blood) and red in it. Two glowing red eyes with three tomoe were seen along with two large wings and several wicked looking sword blades were sticking from his soul (Soshi's weapon blood). Soshi's soul was as large as Stein's soul if not bigger.

Maka was floored. 'Soshi-kun's soul...It's just as big as Stein's! He rivals Stein's level!'

Soshi and Stein faced each other.

Stein smirked. "So you're finally getting involved Soshi?"

"I thought they might be able to handle it, but I had forgotten what you're like Stein-sensei," Soshi replied. "How stupid of me to forget your true nature." Blades jutted from his arms.

"Heh, looks like I'll get see how much stronger you've become since I last saw you." Stein replied his mad-man look appearing.

"I'll show you...But I'm only holding you off to give Maka-chan time to get used to watching powerful souls in combat." Soshi rushed at Stein and the two of them began to trade blows, practically equal.

Soul was trying to talk Maka out of her fear. "Maka! Snap out of it! You only saw a soul right?-! It's not like you saw the future!" He turned to watch the fight. "Take a good look, Soshi's distracting him to give us some time. Ain't that cool of him to help us?"

Maka looked up at her partner no longer afraid. "hee, Hee!"

"Hell yeah! Let's do this the cool way!" Soul exclaimed glowing blue.

Maka stood up as Soul morphed into scythe form. "Sorry about that Soul."

"No problem!"

Maka held the scythe in a ready position.

Soshi and Stein stopped their spar.

Soshi smirked. "Looks like they're finally ready sensei...So we'll have to continue this fight next time."

"It would appear so." Stein replied turning to face the scythe meister.

"Let's do it Maka!"

Maka and Soul both shouted. "Let's go Soul Resonance!"

Again Maka and Soul combined their wavelengths only this time they pushed it even further to where Soul's eye in scythe form looked almost psychotic. A second time, the secret skill was being used. "The legendary super-skill of the scythe-meister!" Soul glowed blue as his blade morphed into the giant blue crescent moon shape.

Stein adjusted his glasses. 'Amazing that she can use witch hunter at such a young age.' He then gathered lightning in his hands. "Come! Show me your souls!"

Maka raised the powered-up scythe. "Witch-Hunter!" This time she succeeded in her attack, Stein blocked the witch-hunter.

'It's pretty controlled...But..." Stein narrowed his eyes. 'It's still wild.' He destroyed the witch hunter attack easily and the backlash sent Maka to the ground.

Stein walked up to Maka. "It looks like you're barely conscious."

Soul quickly got protectively in front of Maka covering her. "Back off! I won't let you touch my meister!" He glared defiantly up at the insane meister.

"Then I'll start with you." Stein brought his hand toward Soul's head.

Soul braced himself only to feel nothing. When he opened his eyes, Stein was kneeling down with one hand on his head.

"You pass. The remedial lesson's over." Stein replied with a smile.

"Huh?-!" Soul replied.

"Protecting your meister with your own life...That was pretty good." Stein praised.

"Um, I repeat 'Huh'?-!" Soul retorted still not believing this.

Soshi walked up. "Uh Stein-sensei, Lord Death put you up to this didn't he?"

"Yes I owed him a favor and he asked me to do this." Stein replied.

Soshi slapped his forehead. "I knew it, Lord Death always pulls things like this."

Soul pointed to his 'dead' fellow student. "But you killed Black*Star!"

Black*Star now conscious laughed. "You say the funniest things Soul!"

"He's alive...But what about Sid?" Soul turned to the sheepish looking zombified meister.

Sid sweatdropped. "Uhhh sorry...I was never the kind of man who tricked people...Of course that was back when I was alive."

"YOU GOTTA TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME! IT WAS ALL A TRICK?-!" A now-pissed off Soul exclaimed.

Maka was shocked. "No way...!"

(Death Room)

Lord Death chuckled. "Ah! But you've learned from this experience have you not?"

(Patch Work Lab)

Stein removed his glasses. "Anyways it was fun surprising you kids."

The whole group thought. 'Sadist! He's a total sadist!'

Stein exclaimed. "Alright kids! I'm sure you're all exhausted, how about you all spend the night here at my lab?-!"

Maka, Soul, Yuffie, and Heart all yelled. "HELL NO!"

(DWMA Next Day)

The group was exhausted except for Soshi. Koinu, Nat, and Sam had returned from their death scythe training and their lover/meister had told them what went on in their absence. They were amazed those younger students could even handle Stein's nature.

Soul could barely keep his eyes open. "Damn I'm wiped out today..."

Heart was rubbing her brother's back trying to keep him awake. "It wasn't that bad brother."

Maka slumped over. "I had a horrible nightmare where he was conducting an experiment on me!"

"Damn! I was gonna be late and make an entrance!" Black*Star complained.

"Me too!" Yuffie pouted.

Suddenly they heard a familiar squeaking.

Soul asked. "Hey did they figure out who our new permanent teacher is? If it's your dad again."

Maka quickly protested. "Anything but him!"

Soshi heard the squeaking and sighed. "Well you're in luck Maka, it's not Death scythe."

Koinu shook her head. "How that man is considered the most powerful meister from this academy I'll never know."

Suddenly the door burst open as Stein rolled in on his chair and fell onto the floor and slid until he hit his head on the desk. "Okay! Let's get class started! We'll be dissecting frogs today!"

Maka and Soul were shocked.

"You're kidding right?"

"I think this is the first time I ever wanted to actually see my dad..."

Black*Star frowned. "Tch. bastard stealing my spotlight."
