Chapter 10 - Chapter 9

(This is another prepared chapter, I am starting to write again so hopefully I will be able to get back to it soon.)

---

In real time not a second had passed, Sans pulled his hand away first as Maki was still a little shaken to be back in reality, Maki then heard Sans voice in her head, 'So, feel any different yet?'

"A little but I- Wait! Did I just hear your voice in my head!?" Maki panicked as she gave Sans a glare "You never said anything about voices in my head so explain yourself now bone bag."

"Well it shouldn't come as too much of a shock but the Pact we made acts as a sort of bridge between us allowing us to communicate through that connection whenever we need, of course you can always just turn it off if you ever get tired of my voice in your head."

"Next time, tell me stuff like that before hand," Maki said still a bit mad as she moved to lightly hit Sans on the head, but instead the expected contact, she hit noting but air as Sans was suddenly a foot away.

"And what is that!? How did you just dodge my hit?" She asked as her anger rose for a moment at not landing the hit.

"That was a shortcut, I'll explain it later but for now I want you try out what I gave you."

"And how do I do that?"

"Well it will be a little different for you since you won't be using CE, first try closing your eyes," Maki closed her eyes, "now try to focus inward and picture the core of your being, your will forming into a solid form in your chest," she focused as hard as she could and after a minute of trying she finally saw it.

"I see it!" She said as tone took on a slightly excited quality.

"That's good, now try to bring that solid Soul out from your body, I'll assist you from here but it'll be better for you to do it yourself." Sans then once again raised his hand in front of Maki's chest and provided a slight pull to Maki's Soul, only slightly so that Maki would still have to bring it out on her own.

"So, Gojo-sensei, what exactly is Maki and the bag of bones doing?" Nobara asked as Maki was seemingly going to take a while and her patience was starting to wear thin.

"Oh yeah, the run down version I got is that bone buddy here, his technique unlocks access to the Soul, and right now, he's trying to get Maki to bring out her Soul so that she can grow used to it and begin using the power it provides," Gojo began.

"What do you mean soul? And what kind of power does a soul even have?" Fushiguro asked

"First off, it's Soul, and not the immortal kind that goes to the afterlife apparently, there's a difference that he will explain when he makes the Pact. Second, no idea, he wanted to keep it between him and the ones he makes a Pact with so that you can better surprise everyone in the Goodwill event."

"So even you don't know Gojo?" Panda asked

"Nope, but you can trust that it's gonna be good, after all, he personally guaranteed it with a Binding Vow," Gojo said, he had lowered his shades to observe from the moment Maki and Sans were about to make the Pact.

Everyone observed for another minute or so before Gojo said, "Pay attention now," and pointed in front of Maki's chest as a glowing purple and orange heart emerged.

Maki looked down to see her Soul, "So, this is my Soul," she asked a bit in wonder as she observed it.

"Yup, now you see the Purple, try dipping into it and spreading it's energy throughout your body, be sure not to over do it though, don't want to pass out in front of you juniors, do you?" Sans teased

A irratated tick appeared on her head but she did as instructed, reaching out not literally with her hands but instead with her intent, it worked as her body subtlety began to become highlighted in purple.

"I can feel it, feels like I could be blown up and not suffer a scratch, and this drain, only about as much as a jog, THIS IS PERFECT!" She exclaimed in excitement. "Hey, Panda! Were sparing right now!" she ordered with a feral grin on her face.

Panda felt a cold sweat begin running down his back "huh, uh why don't you spar with-" Panda was then interrupted as his felt a tap on his back, each giving their condolences.

"Good luck," "You'll be fine," "Salmon," Panda was left frozen in place as his friends abandoned him, Maki then grabbed him and dragged him off to test out her new power.

"Alright who's next?" Sans called out. "You depressed guy, you first."

"Hey, what do you me-," he was cut off as Sans grabed his hand and began the same process that he went through with Maki, meanwhile Gojo, Nobara, and Toge followed the scary woman dragging the poor animal, to watch the beating that was about to commence.

She dragged Panda to the middle of the field, dropped him off before going towards the stands to grab her Naganita, "You know you don't have to do this Maki," Panda nervously tried to convince Maki to not beat him to a pulp.

She turned her head slightly to look at him as her hand grasped her weapon, "Panda," 'Oh no what's she gonna say,' "Don't hold back, use any form you like today, this is going to be a serious battle, I have to see my new limits so I can destroy them." She finished as she returned to him stopping at a distance of about 5 meters.

Panda's expression returned to calm, 'she's serious, serious,' "Alright I won't hold back then," he responded as his form shifted to resemble that of a Gorilla.

Gojo the appeared between them wearing a refs uniform, "Alright Ladies, Gent, and Panda, I want a good clean match here give it all you have, and don't be afraid to seriously injure each other we've got two doctors here now so really let each other have it,"

'Should he be saying that to children,' Nobara thought in the distance.

"So are you both ready? Too bad cause the battle starts now!" Gojo finished with a teleport into the bleachers by Nobara and Toge.

Both Panda and Maki then charged at each other Maki being faster swung first aiming for Panda's neck only to be blocked by his arm, reinforced with CE, he then attempted to counter with a puch to Maki's gut.

A dust cloud kicked up from the impact only to clear away and reval Maki with a feral grin on her face as she had caught Panda's fist with her hand, "That level of attack won't work on me anymore." She commented as she stepped back to get in proper range for her Naganita and swung once again, this time with her weapon highlighted in an orange light.
