"Here we go! FORCE BURIAL!"

 

8 coffin like stones appeared on the ground and opened up, Soul clinging onto his meister as they were falling inside.

 

"Coffins?!" Yuri exclaimed, not very comfortable with the idea.

 

"No, Sid!" Stein called after the zombie, who replied it was up to them to protect Shibusen, as the selected few fell downwards through the quickly closing opening above.

"In that case, let's get out before Death shows up." Eruka replied grumpily.

 

At the question of where Chrona was, he soon appeared in his black dragon form, having five little mice like witches, wearing black-white striped outfits that covered all but their little faces.

 

"I brought them like you said. The Mizune family."

 

"Chi chi chi chi chi~"

 

"Mizunes!" Eruka was waving excitedly to them, but as soon as they flew by, her expression was worried.

 

The only reason they agreed to come was because I lied and told them Shibusen killed the eldest Mizune sister... I didn't have much of a choice, but I'm so sorry, Mizunes...

 

Flying into the city of Death, they began to attack, destroying buildings, including parts of the academy, and even into the town itself.

Yuri let out a cry, as they all fell to the ground, she looked around, finding her, the Thompson sisters, and Tsubaki had fallen over. Soul would have, but Kid and him had been clinging to each other, so he was barely on his feet. The meisters on the other hand, had managed to land on their feet.

 

"Hmm, the meisters landed on their feet, and the weapons didnt... seems we really are different..." Soul mumbled, knowing he would be on the ground if Kid wasn't holding him.

Kid looked up from where they had fallen, narrowing his eyes, "I'm sensing some witch souls up there. One...two...Eight of them! And the demon sword also." He shuddered as he remember that thing from before. Suddenly the ground started shaking. As quickly as it started, it soon stopped. Maka looked confused and worried, "What was that? What are they doing up there?"

"Listen up, Kids."

 

Stein spoke up, quickly getting the young teen's attention.

 

"We've got an emergency on our hands. Below Shibusen right now, sleeps the Kishin, the source of all madness in the world. You should know our school nurse, Medusa, is a witch. She snuck into the academy to revive the kishin. We must stop this at all costs."

 

"Doctor Medusa is a witch? Are you serious?" Yuri seemed nervous to hear this... this was just like before.

 

"And this kishin... how is something like that beneath the school?" Soul bit his lip.

"It's true." Everyone turned their attention to Kid. He glared at the ground, but forced his voice to be calm, "My father explained everything to me." Glare fading, he looked up at everyone, but avoided Soul's gaze, "In order to keep the kishin sleeping safe and sound, my father can not ever leave the academy."

 

"Huh? So there's a reason Lord Death never goes anywhere? I always thought he just wasn't much of a people person." Black*Star mused.

Soul had his red eyes staring straight at Kid's direction, as they seemed a little cross... Kid told him that his father didn't tell him what happened... it made him a little upset that Kid lied to him.

 

"Let's get moving. We can't let Sid's quick thinking go to waste. All of you follow me, I'll take us to the entrance that leads underground."

 

Stein motioned for them to follow and headed through the hall to their destination.

Yuri was panting softly as they were standing in front of the entrance that would take them to the shrine of the Kishin hidden under the city.

 

She had managed to find everyone's lockers (Soul and Kid had left a change of clothes back in Tsubaki's locker cause she had room) and brought their clothes that would be more suited for them to fight in.

 

Soul was slipping his headband on, as well as his jacket with his little angry face logo on it.

 

Tsubaki was already changed into her outfit, fixing her hair so it was back in a ponytail.

 

Patty and Liz slipped their hats against their heads, hiding their devilish grins that once scared anyone in the streets of Brooklyn.

 

Stein was lighting a cigarette, the smoke drifting through the air.

 

"This is the entrance we need. Our enemy is powerful. If you aren't prepared for what lies ahead, you will die. If you wanna turn around, better do it now. Are you ready to fight against fear itself? Will you cross beyond that door, let your souls make the decision for you?"

Yuri was beginning to follow beside them as well, but Soul turned around, and held her shoulder.

 

"No, Yuri, we need you to stay here."

 

"W-What?! But I want to help too!"

 

"If you really want to help us," Stein replied, as he brought his ciggy away from his lips, "Then you should go back into the city, and get rid of t he 5 witches that are attacking right now."

 

"B...But..."

Yuri was left standing there for a moment, seeing everyone giving their nods of assurance, before she nodded as well.

 

"Okay! I won't let you down!"

 

With that, they went their seperate ways. Yuri headed back into Death City, and they headed underground to where the Kishin was sealed away.

While they were running down the stairs, Maka spoke to Kid. "Hey Kid, how did Lord Death seal away this Asura guy in the first place?" Kid glanced back at her for a moment before he explained, "My father tore off Asura's skin, made a tightly sealed bag out of it, and then stuffed Asura inside. Then he rooted his own soul and body here in Death City to keep the kishin from ever breaking free."

 

"And because of that, Lord Death can never leave the city?" Black*Star asked causing Kid to nod slightly. "What if the seal was broken and the kishin managed to get free? Would Lord Death be able to go wherever he wanted?" Maka asked. Kid bit his lip, that was a good question. One he didn't have an answer to.

"If he wanted to go somewhere he'd have to find a way to give the city legs and I don't really see that happening anytime soon, do you?"

 

"Uh-uh!" A little Shinigami sign came up at that suggestion.

 

"You can't even imagine how disastrous it would be if the Kishin was revived. It's madness is like a plague..."

 

----

 

Soul found himself inside of his head once more, standing out of the chair this time, and facing the little demon that would always appear in his dreams... dammit... why couldn't it have just been a dream...?

The imp grinned at Soul, resting his hands on the ground. "Oh Soul, you should know you can't control it. Hell is something you carry around with you. Right inside your weak, flimsy little head." His grin widened as he raised his hand, "Now come along, madness is waiting for you." He looked smug, "There's no escape. You're like a needle stuck in the grooves of the record spinning round and around."

The imp merely chuckled, "I'm waiting for your decision, what's it gonna be, Soul?"

 

-Back in the real world-

 

The group kept running, and by now Soul, Tsubaki, Liz and Patty were in their weapon forms. Black*Star turned his attention to Maka. "We've gone a pretty long way now. Hey Maka, can you sense any witches up ahead with that little gift of yours?" Maka frowned, "Their soul protects are probably on right now." She said simply. Black*Star looked disappointed, "Oh, alright, that's lame. Sensing stuff's the only thing your decent at." Maka twitched, gritting her teeth. "You really know how to piss me off." Suddenly she tensed up and skidded to a halt followed by everyone else. "What?! What?!" Black*Star exclaimed, looking around wildly. Maka ignored him, "Professor Stien!"

"I've got something. It's a soul just beyond those shadows. There's someone there." Maka's eyes narrowed, "I know that soul, I'm sure of it. That nasty, despicable feel...." And out of the shadows stepped, "Papa." Spirit looked disappointed, "I'm not nasty or despicable...." Kid shook his head, 'Of course...'
