…In Cold Blood…
Warning: Massive amounts of blood and violence, Death
*A few minutes earlier when the power was still on*
Love is cowering behind Maka as Noir slowly walks towards the two girls.
“...But…but…” Love struggles to stutter out.
“...But what…” Noir laughs creepily. “...You look so pale that I thought you saw a ghost…”
“Hey creeper!” Maka angrily yells. “You stay away from my friend!”
“...You are a feisty one, aren't you?” Noir transforms his arms into bloody scythes and starts dragging them across the floor leaving a trail of blood behind himself as he walks. “...You can bark…but how strong is your bite!”
Noir sprints forwards and slashes at Maka and Love. They both manage to dodge this attack, but just barely.
He backflips a couple times before he launches the scythes as two giant bloody crescent shaped projectiles.
“Shark Attack!” Maka yells as she forms a shark out of her water and launches it at the bloody sickles that were flying towards her.
The shark opens its jaws and eats the bloody weapons. It then explodes as wet blood rains down across the entire hallway. Both Maka and Love were also now drenched in blood.
Noir turns his arms back to normal and points at the two girls.
Maka and Love stare at him in confusion, but are still ready to fight back.
The escaped convict then turns his hand around and makes a beckoning gesture at the girls.
Suddenly Maka and Love felt themselves being involuntarily pulled towards Noir.
“...Hey…what the Hell is this?” Maka growls out. “What the Hell are you doing to us?”
Maka tried to fight it to no avail. Love on the other hand was too scared to move. In fact, she was completely paralyzed out of fear.
As Maka and Love approached him, Noir made his right hand into a massive fist of blood and punched the girls.
They both flew backwards into a wall.
“...Hey…asshole…” Maka caught her breath as she slowly stood up while dusting herself off. “Take this!”
Maka creates hundreds of small needles out of water.
“Pufferfish Quill Cannon!” She screams as she sends the needles towards Noir.
Noir turns his arm into a bloody fan and spins rapidly as the needles approach destroying each and every one of the projectiles.
Noir pulled Maka towards him and put his hand around her neck.
“...So much passion…so little power…” Noir says as a sadistic grin crawled onto his face as he started to choke Maka.
Maka tries to struggle out of Noir’s grip to no avail.
Noir glances over at Love with a deranged look on his face.
“...Your next…” He slides a bloody finger across his neck and points at the terrified girl.
“...You…” Maka says through gritted teeth. “...You stay the FUCK away from her!”
She suddenly creates crab claws out of her water and spins to escape Noir’s hold.
“Crustacean Crusher!” Maka yells as she slams her claws down right where Noir was standing.
He dodges this easily, but Maka keeps going after him.
After about a dozen more claw swipes from Maka, Noir backflips and charges up a sphere of blood in his hands.
“Bloody Stream!” Noir yells as he shoots a swirling column of blood towards Maka.
It bends upwards, lifts Maka into the air, and slams her against the ceiling.
After she falls back down she immediately tries to get back up, but fails.
Noir slowly walks towards her while doing a sinister chuckle that slowly turns into a full on evil laugh.
He starts to use his blood to create a structure that was taller than anything that he had previously formed.
When he was done a chill went down Love’s spine.
“...Hey kids…” Noir says with the most deranged smile you could imagine. “...Impressive, isn’t it?”
Noir has made a guillotine out of his blood.
He turns his free arm into a bloody tentacle, grabs Maka, and places her head in the device.
“Any last words?” Noir says with a wicked grin.
“Bite me!”
“...With pleasure!” Noir says as the blade begins to fall.
“Bloody Execution!”
“...That’s…that's enough!” Love yells as her eyes turn red.
In the blink of an eye Love sprints behind Noir and shoots a flaming arrow directly through his chest.
“Aaahhh!” Noir cries out in pain as his guillotine disappears in the nick of time.
Maka sits up in the pool of blood and quickly checks her own neck for injuries.
“...Few!” She says after finding nothing to worry about.
…Then she falls on her back and passes out instantly.
“...You…You bitch!” Noir cries out as he turns around towards Love.
Andy walks out of the room he was in while whistling.
“Hey kids, everything is set up…Oh my stars and garters!” He yells out in shock. “What in Uncle Sam’s beard is going on out here?”
Noir quickly stares daggers at Andy.
“Stay out of this!” Noir screams as he sends a bloody tendril towards his patriotic opponent.
Andy dodges this easily with a nimble backflip.
“It is going to take a lot more than that to take care of me!” Andy points to himself. “I did gymnastics in college!”
Noir is about to send another attack towards Andy, but Love shoots another arrow through him. This time through his left shoulder.
“Ouch! That burns!” He turns towards Love again and sends a stream of blood towards her.
“Oh, no you do not!” Andy yells as he takes out a device that extends out into a bo staff at the press of a button.
He backflips in front of the stream of blood and twirls his staff.
“...No…NO!” Noir screams. “Get out of my way!”
“No way! Not until you are brought to justice!” Andy says as he runs towards Noir.
He uses his staff to vault himself over the hemomancer’s head.
Noir starts to laugh again.
“...You fool! How do you think you are going to hit me with that?”
“Like this!” Andy says as he presses another button on his staff. A small compartment opens on the top of the stick and a small taser extends outwards.
He lunges towards Noir and electrocutes him. This also causes a small amount of his blood to evaporate.
“...What?! That’s impossible!”
“Is it though?” Andy says with a smirk that is surprisingly mean looking for him.
Love shoots another arrow towards Noir which he sees and dodges easily.
Andy quickly jabs his staff towards Noir. The pale skinned man dodges most of these, but is stung by quite a few of them as well.
Noir screams out in frustration.
“I have had enough of these games! This ends now!”
He extends a bloody fist towards both Love and Andy.
Love and Andy were both directly across from each other on each side of Noir.
The blonde girl backflips and charges up multiple arrows at once.
“Crimson Barrage!” She yells as she lets go of the luminescent bowstring.
This attack makes Noir’s bloody body look like swiss cheese.
Love quickly knocks one more arrow and aims right for Noir’s head.
“...I…won’t die…not to the likes of you…”
She lets go and it flies through his skull.
“AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!”
Noir screams out as his body begins to evaporate.
As the psychopath dissolves, Love’s eyes turn back to their normal pink color.
Another chill then immediately goes down her spine.
“...Golly…” Andy looks down at the giant hole that went directly through his chest. “...That…doesn’t look very good…”
“Andy!” Love screams out as she rushes towards her ally.
The patriotic protege falls to his knees.
“...Hey Lev…” He says weakly.
“...Y…yeah…” Love meekly says through the tears streaming down her face.
“...Don’t blame yourself…” He says with a strained smile. “...Accidents happen, you know?”
Love uses her sleeve to wipe tears from her eyes, but they are immediately replaced with more tears.
“...The…last thing I would want to do is leave you without closure…” He is now struggling to even breathe. “...You did good, kid…”
Love doesn’t say anything. Her throat is hurting too much to say anything even if she wanted to.
Andy slowly points back towards the room he was working in before turning back towards Love.
He reaches out his hand and she quickly reaches for it.
“...My last request…is for you to finish this mission…”
Love nods her head as the tears continue to fall.
“...Flips the switch…and give ‘em Hell…”
Love manages a small laugh between her tears. She didn’t expect even the most mild of swears from Andy.
He struggles to hold his hand up, but he gives one final thumbs up towards Love…
…Then he goes limp…
Love’s tears immediately start to fall even faster.
After grieving for a few more minutes she eventually manages to at least somewhat compose herself.
She walks into the room and up to the EMP device that Andy spends his last moments setting up.
She grabs a small lever, takes a deep breath, and then pulls it.
