~soul eater MAX!!!~

Isabelline was in the infirmary... Grendel had brought her back to the Academy and he was waiting on stein.. who came shortly
(Stein)"Ahh so i see that lord death was right in bringing you back to death city at the right time Grendel" he says
Grendel remains silent for a moment... (Grendel)"Yea offered me a assistant position here at the school looking over the students, assisting the advanced talents making sure they don't turn out like me..." he replied.
(Stein)"You mean like us... yes with whats to come people like us have to be kept on a tight leash its not too long ago you were a student here as well its only been 2 years since lord Death had a team go in and rescue you anyone would be scared... but that's why that boy is the best partner for you with his positive Resonance keeps the darkness in you at bay" he says to Grendel.

Grendel turns to him... "Yes i suppose so... but lets be clear i didn't come here to make friends i just came to stop HIM... and Death told me that he accepted the boy into the school" he says.
(Stein)"Yes goes by the name Grady nothing special about him really he's in Hawthorne's class this girl you saved was moved into the advanced class" Stein replied.
Grendel thinks for a moment..."I do see talent in her but advanced... she's lucky i intervened when i did.. and as for the boy the moment he steps out of line i'll destroy him myself... he says walking off.

At Grady's home
May was restless she couldn't stay in bed she was tossing and turning she had so many questions... she got up.. and slowly crept out the door...
It was a small home with 3 bedrooms but for some reason Grady was the only one home and chose to lay on the couch.
She was in an over sized t-shirt and shorts that belonged to Grady... she didn't mind this but it gave the impression that they were lovers in her mind when he first presented her with the clothes....
Grady is sprawled out... on the couch...and she just looks at him...Hmm i shouldn't wake him... another time May she thinks to herself...as she turns to walk back in the room she hear's his voice lazily say "I guess you want some answers about tonight right" which surprises May as she turns around and giggles slightly..
(May)"Umm yea it just seemed so hectic today..." she says
(Grady)"Well go ahead and ask... i'll answer anything you need to know" he says.... May thinks for a second...."Are you...psychic...how'd you know what was going to happen tonight... whats with you and Isabelline... and how'd you know that guy" she says not meaning to ask all three questions...

Grady sits up....he smiles..."No... im not psychic... just something about me its a weird ability of mine i....i can see death not everything just glimpses and visions before it occurs..usually when im in close proximity of where something will happen and i came to get you to show you my vision... i saw glimpes of that fight..... i can also lock on to souls that's how i found your room. Isabelline can mask her soul presence but ...i can still feel her... all i can say is i know she's a part of my destiny."
He says that to her explaining that as he gets up and walks around to her...which made May tense up.. as he was standing in front of her....
"I wasn't completely honest about not remembering my past.... something i do remember.. when i was really young before waking up in the hospital...was a Meister and young talent that was killing kishin souls left and right... for days on end using many different weapons. He was bound and forced to fight... a man who's face i can't remember.. (???)"Grendel bishop... thats 500 kishin souls... hahaha... you just won't die will you...i thank you for assisting me... now continue till you expire" the voice said.

This memory was very hazy for Grady..."I don't remember where i was just that i was made to watch...but i'll never forget his name" he says

Grady walked into the kitchen. ..to get a drink of water the thought of that man's face was on his mind why couldn't he see him...all he remembers was a dark castle like area maybe it was a castle he wonders as he saw himself looking up at a man sitting besides him. Grendel wasn't the only Meister but this person had hordes of kishin souls at his service...some meisters perished except Grendel.
He walks back to May... "Other than that memory I assumed that the meister had eventually died but I had that vision and had to see it for myself...."
May looks at him.... "I think I'm beginning to understand you Grady your trying to find your identity and its like your piecingthis puzzle together. .. I'm just a brat.. underachiever but since your my meister I'll actually try so whenever you want we can practice to achieve greater goals..."...she says smiling

Grady smiles.... "How about now I know a place where we can practice. ..get dressed again and lets go" he says surprising May...but she decided to do it if they were going to be partners they had to work together eventually. .

May went in and got dressed as she had a simple red dress on which seemed to be a dress from the Victorian era as the collar was white and laced... Grady even wondered why she chose such a dress to come with him.

Grady gained some of his strength back resting...so he held Mayuri in his arms and flew off with her as they flew she realized that the dress was not the best choice....but they land soon enough in a clearing with a lake not far from a cemetery. ...the same cemetery in which professor Sid came back from the grave....
"Really Grady a lake by a cemetery...???" she questioned

Grady shrugged. .. "Your acting like we're fighting in the cemetery. ..I mean who would do that...anyway you ready" he says getting into a fighting stance...as she puts her guard up as she ran at him and kicked him in the stomach which surprised him as he forgot for a moment that even though she had a dress on May is a rocker and somewhat tomboyish.
Grady didn't move...it was a solid strike but no power....Grady grabbed her and flung her into the air May was amazed at the ease he tossed her with. ..she came down but he caught her as she landed.
"so hand to hand combat is not your strong point...your a Weapon May. ..come on transform I can see your soul don't hold back" he says

May kicks Grady in the face and grips something from her thigh which causes Grady to drop her and a few hairs are slashed.... he looked at her oddly...
Mayuri had a weapon... a blade..."You said not to hold back... i won't" she says.
Grady smiled as to surprise that a weapon is using a weapon as she charges at him and swings wildly ..."Thats what im talking about... you actually know how to use a sword im thinking how'd you manage to hide it against your body" he says as he is barely dodging the strikes as she is getting real close...and she does a shadow step tricking Grady into moving right and she catches him in the arm but he braces himself and forces the blade back. "Good blade...its held together with wires..i can feel it its a whipblade...problem with those is its not as sturdy as an actual sword" he says.

(May)"Just how strong are you... how are you able to force a sword back bare handed... and toss another person like a rag doll" she says

(???)"Isn't that the million dollar question... Mayuri" a voice says. Again revealing himself to be Stein....
Grady smiles..."Professor Stein i knew you'd be here want to talk about getting in your class" he says
(Stein)"Thats your ability to lock onto souls...i assume it was from that day that i came to get Isabelline... amazing how long you can track a certain soul wavelength..you want to get into my class i would like to dissect you...show me what you can do"
Grady smiles...Mayuri looks scared..."Grady this is Stein you actually expect to fight a professor and win" she says
Grady just charges in and ... and attempts to strike Stein and of course Stein dodges really well... as he ducks under one of Grady's strikes and places his palm on his chest and his soul wavelength is driven into Grady which fires him backwards... causing him to scream out in pain but behind Grady was May... who tried and upward swing on Stein..."This is stupid but he's my ...PARTNER" she says as Stein spins...(Stein)"A weapon using a weapon...cute" he says as he backhands her with his soul wavelength send her rocketing... into the lake.
Grady was on the ground getting up..."Is that ....the best you got Stein" he says.
Stein looks at him..."This is far from my best but this is the same test i put Maka and blackstar through and they put up a better fight just accept that your sub-par albeit some impressive talents but sub-par nonetheless but you don't even fight in sync with your weapon" he says.

Mayuri gets up and her soul ignites..."Grady i think i can relate you now... you don't feel ok just coasting and you don't want to be sub-par... and i think im done with being mediocre anymore" she says as she charges at Stein.....
"Well lets get in sync....KURO KARASU...ITEM RESONANCE" he calls out as the skates glow blue and his soul explodes ... and goes to attack Stein with May..as May strikes Stein but he doubles back and Grady comes from above the sky with a powerful kick which drives into the ground

The pieces of dust and dirt fly past Stein as he backs up...but out the dust the whip blade extends coming down with a horizontal strike but Stein dodges right and Grady comes barreling through the dust himself with a right straight so strong that Stein has to use both hands to block it as he is driven backwards heels digging into the ground but they eventually come to a stop.... "Good enough to be in your class now?" Grady says.

(Stein)"Impressive. ..she attacks recovers then you do...but its very generic although your brute strength is impressive all the more reason to dissect you" he says...as he grips Gradys hand and drives his soul...basically electrocuting him dropping him to one knee... but May comes from above...half her body transformed. ...she was going to come down like a meteor damaging Grady also....Stein sees Grady smirking.... "you planned this after you blinded me didn't you...but it won't work" he says as he throws a weakened Grady up in the air who is almost unconscious. ..and May sees this. ..she would have only hurt grady but he was too out of it to use his skates to fly out the way.
"Grady...." she says deciding to transform completely to avoid Grady as she's heavier. ..she glows before becoming an iron wrecking ball.....

....she thinks
Until she feels something grip her and the clasp at the end is secured around Gradys waist. ..and he actually lifts her...he gripped her before she fell and twirled the weapon and effortlessly tossed her at Stein...who was surprised but dodges the attack that rips apart 3 tree's. ..as Grady lands breathing heavy.....
(Stein)"that's enough I admit you have done well...I'll still think about you being advanced I haven't seen nothing that has lead me to believe that but you did better than I expected. ....see you at shibusen" he says...walking off....
May transforms back to support a weakened Grady.

May picks up Grady....I cant believe he actually wielded me...no meister has done that... she thinks remembering to when she was younger...
being told how she's useless as a weapon... even though someone has great strength to maneuver her was extremely complicated
May decided to bring Grady to the infirmary because he was clearly out of it... rather then just help him get home...

Stein doubled back..."Did he really use too much soul power...my god and he wants to be moved to the advanced class... lets take him to the infirmary"
(May)"That is what I was planning to do.... it doesn't help that your the reason he's in this condition" she says
"Hey what kind of educator would i be if i didn't determine the limits of his potential.. don't worry he'll be fine but we'll take him to infirmary just to make sure he's taken care of" he says to her.
May doesn't look happy about it but she listens to Stein besides she would be able to go to her dorm...

When they get to the infirmary they get Grady in a bed.... May looks at Grady..and at the bed over to the right and its Isabelline ....
Stein walks out..
...Oh really thats who he is sharing a room.. with perfect she thinks as she walks out she looks back at Grady who is unconscious now ...using all his soul power to use May wasn't something that is easy. Thats another thing about May in weapon form... the more soul power you put into her you can guide her movements which is weird that Grady was able to pinpoint her movement in weapon form.
Isabelline was unconscious to..... May went to her room.

Later that Night
"GRADY"... Isabelline says jolting up as she awakes.... wondering where she is but soon realizes that she's in the infirmary.... shockingly she looks over seeing Grady in the bed next to hers.
She gets out of her bed ..."Why is he here.... and why did i say his name....god did i really say his name just now..." ... she thinks to herself and she wondered why he was even there and unconscious at that. She looked at his chart.... it just said that he depleted his Soul power like she did... but she looks at him and he looked sick... and there was blackish glow around his chest that was actually shinning through his clothes......
She didn't know what was going on but she walked to him and undoes his shirt... she see's the black glow in his chest by his heart...she slowly places her hand on his chest to see what was going on.... and she felt insanity and darkness which caused her eyes to widen.....is this even possible a meister is living with darkness and insanity inside him.... he doesn't show it...but its trying to overtake him in his fragile state....Damn asshole... seems like i have no choice she thinks as she resonated sending her positive soul wavelength into his chest causing the dark glow to disappear but she couldn't just let go... it was the middle of the night ...
She climbed in the bed with him luckily she doesn't take up a lot of space keeping her hand pressed against him until he heals enough of his soul power to keep it at bay himself....
She rests her head on his chest listening to his heart beat... as if listening to music on the radio.

Isabelline fell asleep against Grady's chest...
Grady was dreaming....



He awoke it was morning now and Isabelline must have fell asleep on him..."AAHHH ISABELLINE WHAT ARE YOU DOING" he says jumping out the bed and falling on the floor with a loud thud... causing her to jump up and regain her composure also as she didn't mean to fall asleep how was she going to explain this she didn't want to tell him that something tried to over take him in his sleep.
Grady stood up...(Isabelline)"Nothing i must have been sleep walking and got in your bed... it nothing" she says
He started buttoning up his shirt... and Nera and Arietta walk in...(Nera)"I hope your awake IS because we ca......" the two stop in shock seeing Grady fixing his clothes and Isabelline fixing herself up....
(Isabelline)"Look no... Nera, Ari... its not what it looks like just go out im coming i think im fine to go back to class today... please" she says.
Nera and Arietta do as she says but they look at one another in pure shock...

Grady looks at Isabelline..."Its not what it looks like why was my shirt undone...did you ...ummm take off any other articles of my clothing" he says wondering if she took advantage of him....
"no" she says but then got what he meant..."WHOA HELL NO...i wouldn't i must have undone your shirt because... your body was warm probably felt nice in my sleepy state.." she says....
(Grady)"So you liked how my body felt... is that what your saying?" he asked walking closer to her....
(Isabelline)"Grow up... no...i didn't just that maybe subconsciously... anyway i have to go..don't know why your were in here though following me... you must be stalking me" she says lacing up her boots.
"Stalking no... i got into a battle with Stein trying to get into his class kinda went overboard but him and May must have brought me here..." he says

Isabelline thought for a moment...Why is he trying to get into the advanced class is it because of me... she thought
"Well of course you can't beat him he's this schools greatest Meister... anyway... im leaving see you around" she says walking out.
Grady smiled... this was the last thing he expected but he didn't not enjoy the fact that it was Isabelline who he woke up with....
He had to find May anyway....

Grady leaves also.....
Isabelline is ignoring Arietta and Nera as they are asking her questions about what happened she didn't want to reveal what happened to Grady in his sleep so she said the same story of sleep walking....
Upon making it to class with Stein... they take their seats....(Stein)"Im glad the gang is all here... i have a assistant who graduated from shibusen academy that will assist in the advanced class...." he says cranking the gear in his head....
Grendel walks through the door with his partner.... (Stein)"This is Grendel... and his partner they graduated the top of his class this year... other than me he's the strongest Meister in this room" he says

Isabelline looks at him...Nera and Arietta had informed her it was he who saved her... she blushed a little bit as she wasn't expecting to see him... and she was told that she called him Grady before she fell unconscious....
Blackstar stood up..."STRONGEST MEISTER HERE THE STRONGEST IS THE GREAT BLACKSTAR (he jumped up and charged at Grendel) BLACKSTAR BIG WAVE" he shouted.....as he was using his soul to attack grendel... who held out his hand...
"Soul menace reverb" he says as he takes the energy from Blackstars big wave and redirects it with his own power added sending him all the way across the room....as hits the back with a thud.
The room fell silent...."As Stein said im here to assist ...anyone else wants to test my credentials?" he asked but no one volunteered
Even Maka could see that his soul was in close resemblance to Steins....
Isabelline looks on..."He really is powerful" she says under her breath as she looked on as he grabbed a seat and sat down

Grady walked into class...late of course but professor Hawthorne was notified as to why.
He smiled sitting next to an excited mayuri as she was happy he was ok.
"Good I can't have the first meister that is able to wield me die...." she says sarcastically
Grady sat back "I wasn't going to die just put more wavelength in you than I expected. ..I was weak from taking that soul menace attack twice. ..hurt like hell but next time we'll come out on top we're going to become grade A partners but we're going to work our way up from this class" he says.

May grabs his hand. ..."you know what Grady I agree with you" she says shaking his hand like they went forward with a business deal...."I'll give you my all but I'm not getting rid of my weapons" she says.
"You don't have to we still didn't achieve a true soul resonance. ...until we can use a technique like witch hunter we should play it safe"
May agreed as they followed the lesson plan

A Month Later

May is running....extremely fast .... her whip blade is drawn
Camilla the female with the demon boots was ahead of her... "this soul is ours a weapon not in sync with its meister won't complete this job before us" she says powering up and bursting off with even greater speed

They were after a evil soul seems like Camilla signed up to complete the job also
"Damn...come on....Grady" she says....
Camilla on the other hand managed to get in front of the evil soul....
"SOUL....RESONANCE....LIGHTENING DRIVER" she calls out striking the evil soul of a former doctor....the technique basically turned Camilla's body into a lightning enhanced drill....as she spins she rips through the soul....landing on the other side ...she smirks and looks back as the evil soul should be dead but its a doctor...and begins laughing as it has enhanced longevity and vitality. ...it has two demonic needles in its hands...it raises both hands in the air to stab Camilla but she dashed back with incredible speed....

mayuri runs up on Camilla's shoulder as she didn't notice May caught up to her but May just used her as a launching point........
She swung her blade as the segments detached she caught the kishin soul in the mid section right above the arms cutting it in half


The monster was still alive....as It crawled to its body parts with one hand. ..the second hand avoided getting chopped off but its limp body parts were twitching. ...as they were attempting to reassemble. ...
(Camilla)"It can heal you dumb boulder...if my lightening driver didn't kill it you think your pitiful attack would" she says sounding more smug that usual

May turned to her and smiled.... "Could you please shut the hell up....and watch how a real meister and weapon get the job done" she says pointing up as Grady was in the sky standing for a moment concentrating...Camilla was wondering what he was doing....
Over this month of training. ..Grady learned that he was capable of soul menace to thanks to Stein he realized that he had subconsciously used his soul to defend himself against stein....unlike stein and blackstar his soul wrapped around him defensively. ..
He waited till the doctor was in the prime position. ..and he came down with great speed...smiling....
"Soul Hurricane".... he says coming down in a spiral formation so fast that his soul energy was leaving a trail...he went around faster and faster till Camilla saw it...a tornado made of soul power. ...once he landed the intensity of the wind and power swallowed up the kishin soul ripping it apart...leaving its soul behind
Camilla and Mays hair blew in the wind and after math.. but May walked up gripping the soul absorbing it through her hands. ..#24

Meanwhile

Grendel is standing in a field... he decided to take some students on one of his graduate level missions... but he let the students handle it.
Maka falls to the ground hard... clutching soul. (Soul)Maka what are you doing we've been in this position before how are you faltering now"
Maka looks at the scythe..."Hey we never faced a real enemy like this...even though we have help" she says.

Isabelline is blown back as her giant ...Violin Nera withstands the impact... but her heels dig into the ground and she drops to one knee almost besides Maka....
"Damn Maka we both have a decent amount of souls so why is he making us face something like this?" she asked.

(Grendel)"Because your not always going to face the enemy that is at your level" he says

The girls are trying to recuperate but a wave of energy comes at them both driving into the ground as Isabelline and Maka jump out of the way....
The smoke clears and the Rhino witch steps forward wearing a grey and black typical witch outfit with a hat with a large horn on it....(Witch)"Really do you know how many meisters i have defeated and you come up against me and without deathscythes at that....pathetic"[/b]
Maka charges in swinging Soul... the witch is surprisingly enduring every slash not defending... at all and it just grabs soul bare handed at the blade... and Isabelline comes from behind with Arietta.... and without looking the witch grabs Arietta as well before she is stabbed with her....
(Witch)"My skin is Rhino tough regular slashes won't do you any good their too weak....thought you would have known that by now..." she says

Maka smiles..."We know you ready Isabelline...." she says...
(IN UNISON)"SOUL RESONANCE...WITCH HUNTER"... they say and Grendel smirks...while his partner just sits on the ground and watches
Both bladed weapons use Witch hunter ... soul becomes a double edged scythe and Arietta achieves her claymore state again...but it was more controlled now....
The Flash of blue light explodes... as Maka and Isabelline are breathing heavy...."You ok Isabelline...?" she asks hands on her knee's....
Isabelline is clutching Arietta and Nera tightly..."Yes im fine...think its over"
The Rhino witch appears between them a little disheveled an bloodied hands...."ITS FAR FROM OVER RHINO RHINO IMPACT" she says with both arms outstretched and and the energy wave hits both Maka and Isabelline sending them flying back.... soul even flies out of Maka's hands... and Nera and Arietta fly out of Isabellines as they were hit at point blank range....Isabelline sits up....but Maka is out of it...Soul even took human form looking after her...
(Soul)"MAKA...MAKA WAKE UP NOWS NOT THE TIME FOR A NAP..." he says.

The Witch looks at the two.....and turns her attention... to Isabelline..."I'll kill you first... i like my victims awake when i kill them" she says as she appears behind Isabelline but... Isabelline dashes out the way at blinding speed which surprised the witch.. as she looks around... and listens carefully and hear's uptempo music.
She looks up and see's Arietta and Nera playing together... (Isabelline)"Sonnet of Vitality".. she says grinning as he skin is red....
The witch charges at her .... with a powered up fist ... but Isabelline takes the strike... and flies back...but lands on her feet and dashes in at great speed unleashing a combo of punches that knock the witch back... ending in a straight kick that launched her into the sky.
She stops herself mid air.... "Where'd you get... such strength....." she says.
Isabelline's lip is bleeding and so is the Rhino witch's lip as well...."Song of vitality unleashes the bodies hidden potential.." she says as she runs at great speed and leaps which surprised the witch again that she got so high and Isabelline punches her back to the ground.... causing her to land creating a crater....
...Isabelline lands and dashes in forward... but the witch unleashes her soul as a large rhino made out of energy rams her the horn hitting her in the mid section penetrating... but due to the song of vitality.. her healing is speed up and her sensation of pain is dulled....she still stands... ready to keep going but Grendel steps in front of her....
(Grendel)"Stop you two have done good getting her to this point you should be proud... but i'll finish it..." he says... Maka finally awoke... to see Grendel signal his partner... who becomes a blade... and he immediately activates witch hunter.

The rhino witch is powered up..."Really now you intervene and with that basic technique...don't you learn..." she says sending the Rhino energy at grendel... who uses witch hunter to stop it but it cancels the attack out...
"Hmm... so your's is more powerful than theirs combined... but still not at my level" she says.

Grendel smiles..."No your not at my level...Beowulf is a Deathscythe... Transform now" he says as it becomes a large white Tiger beast...
Isabelline is in shock as she didn't know that small child was a deathscythe that could transform apart from its meister....
The witch sends out two immense rhino forms of energy... you could see that she feared a deathscythe... but Beowulf charged through its fangs glowing blue as it teared through the Rhino's ....
The witch was afraid .. as she turns to run off but Grendel is behind her and places a palm on her chest..."SOUL CARNAGE"
As a orange energy fires through her... stunning her leaving a hole... and then Beowulf just opens its mouth as it devours the witch......
Maka and soul and arietta nera and isabelline are just silent

Maka gets up looking at Grendel and Isabelline....
The door which only opened up when Isabelline unleashes her soul was back up....
Soul looks at the snow haired boy beowulf who seems so innocent and carefree...he even went back to chasing a butterfly
[I]....That kid is actually a deathscythe...he didn't need his meister he could attack on his own....are all deathscythes capable of that[/] ....he wondered

Grendel walked up to all the women and soul as Nera and Arietta had taken human form
"is everyone ok?" he asked
They all nodded...maka almost had tears in her eyes...then they came pouring down as she dropped her head
"I'M SORRY...I WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO DEFEAT THE WITCH....I tried....I just couldn't do it"
She said crying....Isabelline was disappointed herself as she felt weak now because of this....its the second time he saved her but she kept it all in.
(Grendel)"look its ok she was a very powerful witch I didn't expect you to win you both showed promise with that double witch hunter technique....trust me if you could last with that level of enemy you'll do fine now stop crying and let's go" he says as they leave. ...

LATER THAT NIGHT. ...

Isabelline was in bed having the same nightmare. ...being embraced by him in that dark shadowy house ...in her dream it was warped during the embrace she could see the moonlight shining through the window. ..the lifeless body of a woman behind the man hugging her....than a hand gripping hers it was a younger Arietta...and she woke up at that moment
Her partners were asleep...but isabelline decided to go for a walk. ...
She was in a purple night gown a beautiful woman but of course had clothing underneath but her amazing fit body was very noticeable.

She walked the halls....and thought till she came across Grendel in a class room looking over paperwork no one else yes there were professor's and medical staff up...but she wanted to run into him.
She walked into the room and locked the door behind her...she then turns to him as he is surprised to see her....her long hair hanging over her face. ..m
"stop it...STOP saving me" she says as she charged at him at threw a punch which he caught. ...as she began to tear up just like Maka.
"If I'm weak just l.lll LET ME DIE" she says as she began to punch and kick....and Grendel dodged everything in the classroom before pinning her up against the blackboard his face close to hers....
"don't make excuses for yourself Isabelline I didn't save you. ..I gave you the opportunity to grow and learn from failure from pushing you to the brink of your ability only then you grow... the young meister girl who killed a kishin soul at the age og 8 ..a kishin that was her father...is definitely capable of more"
He says whuch caused her eyes to widen. ..she locked her legs around his waist. ...staring at him...just to prevent him from letting go.....
"I didn't want to kill him Grendel....it...it...I.." she began to say but hugged him and began sobbing. ..into his shoulder as he held her

Grendel places Isabelline down....."allow me to help ease your pain...just stay still" he says
Isabelline is still tearing up... but relaxed as the tears slowly drop from her face now she lays her head back... as Grendel places his hand on her head...

He sends his soul into her but not for offensive purposes like soul menace but goes to see the one memory causing her pain and get her to accept it, as Grendels hand glows he is instantly in a darkened home... colors are inverted although black is white and white is black he can still hear voices. For the moment he is a spectator as he just shifts into a little girls room, and he can tell its a young Isabelline... with childlike checkered pattern sheets on her bed she is sleeping snug... Grendel looks around as he see's Two little girls sleeping on the floor.... and Grendel recognized them as Arietta and Nera..... they must have been childhood friends having a sleepover this night... that is when this vision of the past began to shift.....

Grendel is able to walk at that point through the memory....he places his hand on Isabelline at that point in time... he resonated his soul with her trying to put her pain to rest until he is surprised because Isabelline in the memory grabbed his hand and threw him across the room.

He crashed into the wall but rebounded and landed and landed on his feet.
He looked at Isabelline who aged before his eyes to her current age now... and she was different......
Her hair was ragged she had red eyes and a dark sadistic expression on her face... she then bolted for the door and it closed before her...she almost made it out....
Grendel was still trying to understand what was going on ...the little Isabelline was still frozen in the memory so this must have been Isabelline's soul or at least a part of it.
Grendel was treading carefully ....while he looked at the crazed looking Isabelline who was banging on the door
"LET MEEE OUT....YOU BITCH...LET ME OUT...YOU CAN'T KEEP ME LOCKED HERE FOREVER"...she was banging on the door and thats when it hit grendel the door that is blocking Isabelline soul is keeping inside this insane personality at bay....
she started screaming trying to break the door down... she then turns her attention to Grendel....he realized that this must have been the moment this dark personality was repressed... the key to Isabelline's power was her ability to resonate with multiple types of soul's insane or otherwise.

The dark Isabelline walked closer ..."You...YOU...GET ME OUT OF HERE NOW!!!!"
She screamed powering up.... and Grendel felt the raw power...the same level of power that Isabelline gains when she resonates with her weapons but sharper...wilder...he looked at her and it was like a wild animal scarier than beowulf....he was actually worried.
The dark isabelline charged at him and back in the real world Grendel let go of Isabelline and slide backwards the shock from the attack broke the link...and she awoke...

(Isabelline)"What just happened... was i sleep"....
she said and Grendel looked worried but he gained his composure....
(Grendel)"No your fine isabelline ... just get to your room you shouldn't be out at this time..." he says.
Isabelline nodded as she didn't remember a thing but just wanted to go to her room..
