loose spirit in multiversal mayham

Max saw that Medici girl was still unconscious and he saw that the wound was stitched back up and Parasoul informed him that if it heals it would leave a scar but he didn't care much.

He put his hand on the wound and green spiritual energy flowed around his hand and when it made contact the wound was healing this time for faster thanks to the fact she is not losing blood.

While he was healing the wound he noticed that she was waking up and when he was done he removed the stitches and as Parasoul said there a permanent scar in her stomach.

When cerebella was completely awake she noticed the guy that vitale wanted dead she backed off like he was the plague and she crashed into the ground this time no blood was lose and max was somewhat offended but he wasn't surprised either since this girl was contracted to kill him so yeah she probably thinks he is gonna finish her off.

Cerebella looked around for vise versa but she couldn't find it.

Max raised his hand and in it was vice versa who was asleep.

Max: looking for this?

Cerebella was now sweating buckets she knew how to fight even without vise versa but she saw how powerful this guy is so she was like a deer in the headlights.

Max: in case you didn't get the memo I'm kinda the one who saved you from bleeding out.

Cerebella: you expect me to believe that someone who is one the medicis hit list would help me?

Max: Check your stomach then.

Cerebella was confused but she looked down and she saw that her stomach had a scar and it looked like she had it for days

Max: I let the egrets take care of your wounds and I made sure to heal it so that you at least don't feel pain.

Cerebella was baffled by this never in her life had she heard someone has the ability to heal others but if it's true then he really did save her but why does he except loyalty? or does he expect her to be all over him.

Cerebella: if you think just because you healed me don't think I'm loyal to you my family is with the medicis.

Max: really? so you are fine with having killers and narcissists and psychopaths for parental figures that's really good.

Cerebella: you know nothing!

Max: yeah I don't but judging from what I've heard from Parasoul and squigly your family just see you as a weapon and the fact that woman actually told you just to break you mentally is a real good example of how the medicis are scum.

Cerebella: she is lying the medicis gave me a place to belong and vitale treats me like daughter why would-

Max got up and he slammed his hand into the operation table hard enough to break it making cerebella jump and when she saw his eyes those were the eyes of calm rage.

Max: why would he be acting like a father to you is that what you were going to say well here is why to get into your head and manipulate you into doing his work and the fact that you didn't even looked at there background really shows how much he got to your head Parasoul told me that dahlia revealed that your parents were killed by the medicis and you are still denying the reality? Open your damn eyes and accept it your family are nothing more than dogs that need to be put down and did you know that undead girl was part of a big family in the past and it was your family that created the skullgirl because the medicis made her desperate to make a wish and that skullgirl was the mother of squigly sienna contiello and she died on her mother's birthday so deny it all you want but your family only cause trouble!

Cerebella was hurt by each word max said and the more he continued the more hurt she was getting mentally and she wants to say that's not true but the fact that dahlia herself told her the truth about her background and when she really thought about it all of her life was a lie and when max was done with his rant cerebella curled up into a ball and was crying.

Max honestly felt bad for screaming at a girl he was raised by woman in his family so he grew into respecting women that don't act like assholes but he needed to do it so that his words reached her skull.

He sat down next to her and he patted her on the back and cerebella didn't push him away.

Max: sorry but I really needed that you actually listened to me and not just turned away from what I was saying.

Cerebella was still sobbing but she manage to get out what she was trying to say.

Cerebella: why?

Max: why what?

Cerebella: why did you healed me despite the fact I was ordered to kill you.

Max: because your soul is good.

Cerebella: huh

Max: I can sense souls so when I saw yours you didn't gave off the vibe of a killer you soul just gave off a misguided vibe before I was planning to know you out when I was done with the blood witch but she used you as a meat sheld and you took my attack and I could just let someone who was just misguided die like that.

Cerebella: so you just saved me because you sensed that I wasn't a bad person?

Max: somewhat like that.

Cerebella and max were quite until cerebella broke it.

Cerebella: so what do I do now?

Max: I'm not the right person to ask that but I guess either go on your own or join the egrets but the fist one might be a bad idea.

Cerebella: actually maybe I will join the egrets if I do ran off on my own I'm not gonna last long.

Max: I'll tell Parasoul I suggest you get some sleep in on of those beds oh and here.

Max threw vise versa into cerebella's hand.

Max: now that I know you won't attack me you can have the little guy back.

Cerebella: thanks.

Max was about to leave but he stopped and realized something.

Max: hey actually I never actually got your name.

Cerebella: Casandra veranos but i was given the nickname cerebella so you can call me that.

Max: cerebella huh it rolls of the tongue nicely.

Cerebella: thanks

Max left the room and he went to Parasoul's room and he saw a small girl with pink hair.

Parasoul: max what brought you here?

Max: well I-

Max was interrupted when the pink haired girl looked at him with stars in her eyes.

Umbrella: oh my god it's really you in the video you were so fast and you killed does monsters so quickly it was so cool!!

Max wasn't used to be looked like that but he could understand since this girl is still a kid but still.

Parasoul saw umbrella gushing over max like he was a idol she didn't mind but she couldn't tell that he was somewhat put off so she cut him a break.

Parasoul: umbrella that's enough your making him uncomfortable.

Umbrella stopped her gushing and she now look embarrassed.

Umbrella: sorry about that I just think you are really cool.

Max got one knee and patted the small girl on the head she reminded max of his other adopted sister Mona unlike umbrella she was more on the quiet side.

Max: it's okay umbrella right? you kinda remind me of my sister Mona but she is more quiet.

Parasoul was interested at learning that max has family relatives.

Parasoul: you have a sister?

Max: adopted but that's besides the point I came to ask you a favor.

Parasoul: that is?

Max: I want you to give cerebella or Cassandra a chance to join the egrets.

Umbrella: that Medici girl I thought you said they were balls people big sis.

Parasoul: they are but-

Max: she is different she was manipulated by them and they killed her parents from what the egrets told me and I managed to convince her that they are bad people and she is willing to join you.

Parasoul: and how are you sure?

Max: I can sense souls and she is a good one who was misguided.

Umbrella: you can sense souls that's so cool.

Parasoul let out a sigh of defeat and decided to humor him because he is the one with supernatural abilities not her.

Parasoul: fine I'll give her a chance but if this comes back to bite us you are gonna be very cross with me hope you know that.

Max: I know.

Max reached for the door and left.

Umbrella: sis you seriously going to give the girl a chance?

Parasoul put a hand to her head to prevent an incoming headache.

Parasoul: I will give her a least a chance but like I said if this goes sideways I'm gonna be in a very bad mood with max.

Max got outside the egrets and went for a run to take his mind of what happened so he now he was parkouring his way through roof tops and someone was watching him and decided to approach him.

Max stopped to grab a slushie to refresh but while he was sipping on his beverage he sensed someone behind him and he turned leaving his drink on the ground and got out his black arms and his small blade ready to fight whoever is behind him.

But he saw a white haired girl in a maid outfit and red eyes with skull designs in each looking at him in curiosity.

Marie: looks like you sensed my presence and you seemed well trained and your soul is strong stronger than anything else I've seen.

Max took and analyzing look at the girl in front of him and he saw that the back of her rip cage was letting out blue fire but it was more of an energy fire and what caught his attention was that he can sense multiple souls within but it looks like she is fully in control it was then max realize what this girl was.

Max: so you are the famous skullgirl huh I thought you would look bigger but guess I was wrong.

Marie: sorry to disappoint you but jokes aside.

Marie crossed her arms and looked at max in the eyes.

Marie: I saw sienna contiello alive and I'm sure I didn't wake her up and you and her seemed close so how did you awake her?

Max: why should I tell you that? From what I stand I don't have to tell you anything I heard that you don't have the most cleanest reputation.

Marie was somewhat hurt by that comment but she wasn't deterred by this.

Marie: if you don't want to answer fine now I have another question why did dahlia came to the egrets headquarters? And from I saw in the fight seinna was just in her way.

Max felt that he can answer this question without worrying about her reaction.

Max: the medicis want me dead i planned to kill that woman myself but I felt like squigly had more of a right to kill her because of what she did to her family.

Marie: and you forced her to kill dahlia?

Max: I'm not a bastard I gave her a choice whether she wanted to be the one how puts her down or I can do it for her if she doesn't want to the girl has been through enough and I can tell that she hates her a lot and who can blame her dahlia didn't just killed her and her family but she made her mother desperate to make a wish on that thing on your back.

Marie touched her chest and she felt the skull heart stir.

Marie: I see looks like you care a lot for seinna.

Max: of course I do she deserves at least a little joy away from the messed up things In this world and not stay stuck in a cycle of death and rebirth that's no way for her too live.

Marie saw how max genuinely cared for the undead girl and she felt Selene and Roberto's souls stir up in relief that there daughter is in the hands of a caring young man.

Now that she got an impression of the boy she thought that at least she could learn his name.

Marie: if I may what's your name?

Max was taking a sip of his drink and he stopped to answer her.

Max: max McKnight.

Marie: interesting name I came to talk to get an impression of you but looks like seinna is in good hands I'm taking my leave sorry to bother you.

Max: wait

Marie was about to fly off but she stopped to hear him out.

Max: you got a name right? What should I call you besides just skullgirl.

Marie: just call me Marie if we meet again I hope that you and I can have more time to chat.

With those last words she flew off to who knows what max heard that the skullgirl are chaotic and do whatever they want but Marie isn't like that and max made sure to read her soul she is in control but not for long he felt the skull heart slowly corrupting her and he could tell that Marie is not gonna last he analyzed her soul and character and she seems like reasonable person but he felt a surge of rage from her and it was aimed at the medicis.

Somewhere in the multiverse a pod was traveling in empty space suddenly it beeped and traveled to it's target.

Target confirmed entering universe 621 objective find max McKnight.
