"Maka, any luck on finding that kishen egg?" Lord Death asked through the mirror.
"Not yet. This town is really weird though. Even the sun and moon are different here," Maka said.
"It's also a lot colder," Soul added
"Soul, we went from Nevada to Michigan, what did you expect?" Maka asked rhetorically
"Well, to go from the literal middle of nowhere to almost snowing weather is not cool."
Maka rolled her eyes, then focused back on the mirror. "Anyway, the main reason we're calling is because while we were investigating the school like you told us, there was this green kid that had no nose or ears."
"He also had stupid hair," Soul added.
Maka glared at Soul for a second but then looked back at Lord Death. "I looked at his soul; it didn't seem human. It wasn't kishen, but it… it was just jarring," Maka said.
"Hmm, that's interesting. I'll see if we've encountered something like that in the past," Lord Death said.
Maka smiled. "That'd be gr-" she started, but stopped when she heard a noise. She put the mirror down. "We'll be right back, sir. Soul," Maka said.
"Right," Soul said and transformed. Maka and Soul ran out of the mirror's sights and the sounds of fighting were heard. Lord Death knew better than to talk while one of his students were fighting, but it suddenly went quiet.
"Maka?" Lord Death asked.
"Eh? Wassat? WHO ARE YOU!" an unknown voice started yelling. He sounded kind of like a child.
"It's the mirror," a different unknown voice said. This one was high pitched and robotic.
"I don't care what it's coming from, or what a 'mirror' is, just get rid of it," the first voice said.
"Okey, dokey!" the second voice said. A little green dog thing with white eyes that bulge out of its head walked up to the mirror. "Bye!" The dog said and crushed the mirror.
"Oh, that's not very good," Lord Death said while he looked back at his reflection. The connection between mirrors was obviously broken.
"Professor Stein, I think you gave me a defective frog. It's bleeding asymmetrically," Kid said. Patty was happily poking the dead frog while Liz was trying to get as far from the creature as possible without getting into the other groups.
"Kid, that's how animals normally bleed. That's also how humans bleed," Stein said.
"I don't like it," Kid said.
Stein moved his glasses up so the glare covered his eyes. "You'll learn to love it," he said.
"Trust me, I'll never love it," Liz said.
Suddenly over the school's speakers, Lord Death's voice was projected. "Hey Kiddo! I need you and your little weapon partners to come to my office immediately."
"Alrighty let's go," Liz said and left the room full of dead frogs with her sister and meister not far behind. The three of them started walking towards Lord Death's office.
"Hey, what do you think they're going to Death's office for?" Black Star asked Tsubaki.
"I don't know. Maybe instead of focusing on Kid, we could continue our dissection," She answered.
"What if he gets a super cool grim reaper job? I could do anything he does, but better, becaUSE I'M THE MIGHTY BLACK STAR! HAHAHA!" Black Star laughed and ran out of the room.
"Black Star, don't run away like that!" Tsubaki said and ran after him.
"So, you see, I need you to save Maka and find that kishen egg in the process. Kay?" Lord Death said. He caught Kid, Liz, Patty, and unsuspectedly caught up Black Star and Tsubaki (who were hiding), about the situation.
"You can count on us, Father," Kid said. He formed his skateboard beneath his feet and held his hands out.
"Yay, road trip!" Patty exclaimed and transformed.
"Anything is better than dissection," Liz said and transformed as well. The two weapons appeared in Kid's hands and he started flying away.
"Lord Death has some nerve giving this to Kid. I was friends with Soul way longer than he was! I'll show him, I'll save Maka and Soul and kill all the Kishens in my way before Kid could even get there!" Black Star ranted from his hiding place.
"Black Star, Lord Death probably chose Kid for a reason, maybe you should let it go," Tsubaki said.
"Ha, no way. Come on, we need to follow Kid," Black Star said and he started chasing after Kid with Tsubaki not far behind.
Maka opened her eyes to see a tiny gray robot with blue bulging eyes and a blue chest plate. It was on top of her smiling.
"Hi!" the robot said and waved. For some reason, the robot had a tongue.
"...Hi…" Maka said hesitantly. She looked around and it seemed she was in a dimly lit lab of sorts.
"Master told me to keep an eye on yoouuu," the robot said. It then put one of its large eyes on Maka. "This is fuuuun."
Maka didn't really know what to do. The robot doesn't seem like a threat, but she was pretty sure it had the same voice as the weird green dog that attacked her and Soul. Maka looked around her, but she couldn't look far since she was strapped onto something. She saw soul next to her on a same upright table-like thing. He was strapped to it like Maka, but unlike Maka, he was sound asleep and drooling. He didn't have a robot on him, so Maka assumed there was only one.
"Hey Mary," the robot said, "do you like tacos?"
"Umm, I don't think I've ever had a Taco," She replied. Maka decided it was best not to correct
the robot on her name.
The robot gasped and lifted its head off Maka to look at her. Then it smiled. "I'll get you a taco!" It said and ran to an elevator like thing in the distanced and raised out of sight.
Once the robot was gone, Maka looked back at Soul and tried to shake the thing he was on. "Hey, Soul," she said.
"Eh," Soul said sluggishly as he slowly opened his eyes. Then he noticed he wasn't in his own house and his eyes opened faster. "Hey Maka, where are we?"
"A lab of sorts. I think it's owned by the green kid; there was a robot on me earlier, and it sounded a lot like the green dog."
"Not cool," Soul said, "How did we even get captured?"
"That kid has really advanced technology, so he'll be pretty hard to beat," Maka said.
Soul smiled. "Then good thing we're stubborn."
Maka smiled too. "Yeah, that kid won't know what hit him."
