Casper looked at the sight in front of her. A tower made of black bricks, almost looked like the shape of a dead tree, red and green lights flickering in the windows. The would have thought of it as a humorous mix of a Halloween and Christmas themed house, other than the fact that she knew it belonged to a witch.

It took a few months for her mother and a few people working for Shibusen finally tracked down one of Raven's hideouts. She had been anticipating this day ever since she was told she would be part of the group sent to slay the witch. and now the gang stood outside the fort, the weapons transformed and the meisters ready to fight.

"She's in there all right. I think it's strange that she isn't using her Soul Protect though, seeing as there's a town only a mile or two away," Maka commented.

"Weird. That's suicide for a witch who's wanted as much as her," Kid said. "Well, maybe she was so terrified when she sensed the almighty god I was sent to kill her that she forgot!" Black*Star exclaimed.

"Black*Star be quiet! Even if she did know we were coming, it's gonna be bad if she finds us!" Tsubaki snapped. Casper walked over to the emerald double doors cautiously, slowly opening the door.

"Unlocked," she muttered.

"Cas, you think something strange is goin on too?" Phantom asked. She could tell there was slight worry in his voice.

"Yeah. But it's making breaking in a whole lot easier," she replied, walking in. The rest of the gang followed, entering the dimly lit hallway.

"That's strange. There aren't any guards that I can sense in here either," Maka said.

"Was she planning this?" Kid asked. Casper wondered the same thing. After all, this mission couldve gotten ten times more threatening if Raven had planned ahead.

They continued down the hallway, before finding that it went two different ways, left and right. Black*Star and Maka headed left, Kid and Casper the opposite.

"Casper, cant you tell if there's any hidden guards or traps ahead?"

"Yeah, one minute," she replied. She closed her eyes for a second, and when she opened them again they were a bright purple. "Shadow Track." It was awhile until the glow disappeared and she replied with "There aren't any."

"Why would she leave her fort defenseless and her soul protect off at a time like this? She's wanted dead by Shibusen, so why not have a bit of security?"

"Raven plays games with very dangerous risks. For her to do this, she has to be planning something big," Casper replied.

"But what could she be planning?" Liz asked.

"I'm still trying to figure that out."

The two meisters came to a quick halt when they reached a steep drop, large spikes on the bottom. Anyone who accidentally stepped over would plunge down to their doom, the force of gravity would have collided into the spikes, and survival would have been impossible.

"How are we supposed to get passed this?" Liz muttered.

"Maybe I could make a bridge over it with shadow magic," Casper suggested.

"Probably the best option," Kid replied. Casper closed her eyes again, muttering some words under her breath, before a long purple black bridge that was almost as thin as glass formed between their point and the other side of the pit. They walked over it, Kid a bit more carefully in case the thin plate shattered. But Casper knew how stable it was, so she was worried about something else.

"Okay, so she still has some defenses. But that was something so simple to cross. If a witch like mom broke in, she could get through this in less than a minute," she muttered to herself.

"So was she anticipating someone who can use magic?" Phantom asked.

"I'm guessing."

Casper stayed quiet the rest of the way down the hall. The way it seemed, Casper felt as if she was the target of Raven's plan. Whatever it was. The next hallway had a few more traps, mostly trap doors and colliding walls that Casper easily found.

"Casper, you sure you aren't using too much energy on all the magic you're using?" Kid asked.

"It's fine, it's only offense spells that will drain too much out of me," she replied. But with her using the Shadow Track every once and a while to find the traps, she did feel a bit tired. She decided once more, just to make sure that the path ahead was safe. "The path ahead is clear, but I can tell that there's three people up ahead."

"Can you tell what they might be?"

"No, I'd have to have Soul Perception like Maka to tell that." Casper gripped the scythe in her hands tighter, the fact that there were possibly two more opponents ahead made her more on guard.

They finally reached the end of the hall. A large room with swirling black columns and made of almost pitch black wood, with a large red and greed stain glass streaming moonlight tainted by the colored glass into the room. The witch sat on a chair at the end, playing around with something in her hand. Next to her was a boy around the two's age, his blonde hair in a buzz cut, his green eyes filled with sadistic glee. He wore a green tank top, camouflage cargos, and black combat boots. He held a black chain saw with a bright neon green chain. The third person Casper sensed wasn't around. Maybe she messed up? No, Shadow Track is never wrong.

"Seems like our guests have arrived Elliot," Raven chuckled. "How about we greet them?"

"With pleasure, m'am," Elliot replied, the chainsaw revving up. He charged at Kid, leaving the shinigami occupied. The young reaper found it hard to get in a few shots while dodging the revving blade that seemed to particularly want to attack his face.

Casper lunged at the witch, taking slashes that would miss, jabs that just barely brushed against her. Raven just chuckled.

"Trust me, as entertaining as this is, I think we should get this over with," she said. Before Casper could react, Raven pulled out a small syringe filled with a dark liquid. She jabbed it into the meister's arm and watched as she slowly lost strength.

"Cas? Casper!" Phantom shouted, quickly transforming to hold his meister in his arms. He glared up at the witch, and was about to got after her, but she flew up in the air.

"Come on Elliot. We're done here," she announced, summoning a broomstick and flying out a broken stain glass window. Elliot's fight with Kid was cut short, and the blonde jumped up to the broken window ending his chainsaws loud roar and jumping out, running after his mistress.

Phantom gently shook Casper, trying to get her to wake. She was still breathing, and her heartbeat was still steady. But still, this freaked him out. He glared back at the witch floating away, wondering what she had done to his meister. He held Casper tightly, hoping his girlfriend wasn't in serious trouble.
