Chapter 1: The Mission

As a calm blue ocean wave hits the warm sand, a hermit crab in a silver shell wanders through, walking onto a light blue beach towel. In front of the hermit crab was now a dark blue swimming suit, and exposed skin. The hermit crab did what should be done. *Pinch*

"Ouch," Roxas got up, and noticed the scenery around him, "Wait...where am I?"

Roxas looks around and realizes he's at a beach, the question was, how did he get here in the first place. He was sure that last he checked, he was sleeping in his room, on a cotton bed, in the Castle. He proceeded to shoo the hermit crab, then notices his raven friend Xion running towards him, in what looked like a purple swimsuit.

"Hey Roxas, how was your nap?" Xion notices something moving beside her feet ¨, Look it's a hermit crab!" she exclaimed while picking up the little snapper.

As she stared at him, Roxas found himself confused about how they ended up at the beach, then he realized he was staring back at her and saw her swimsuit.

" Is something the matter?" Xion asked moving her head in concern.

"N-No, it's just that I didn't know we wore something besides black trench coats and robes." Roxas said, turning his head to gaze at the calm blue sea, "Honestly everything right now seems off."

"That's because we're on vacation. You're a workaholic who doesn't know how to use his vacation wisely, unlike Xion and me over here." Axel casually said wearing a green swimsuit and with a bag of sea salt ice cream. "Now, anyone want some ice cream?"

Both Xion and Roxas smile. "We do." They all grabbed a popsicle and took a bite. It was salty and sweet, just the way they like it.

"Yeah, this vacation is nice. "Roxas admitted taking another bite, and he turned to Axel to say something about ice cream, but Xion interrupted.

"Okay Roxas your dream is over, it's time for you to wake up. Wake up!" Xion cheerily said slapping his ice cream bar out of his hand.

"My ice cream!" Roxas woke up and found himself in reality, or at least he hoped. He looked around him and saw the time on the clock. He had some time before it was work time. He wanted to talk to his friends to discuss about the beach. He set his priorities in order. Talk to my friends, then receive a mission. While walking, he was thinking about his recent dream and his precious friends.

Roxas proceeded into the activity room where the other members of Organization XIII would usually go before going on missions. "I wonder why taking a vacation to the beach sounds exciting? Should I even be allowed to feel excitement? Everyone says nobodies don't have "emotions", yet I think I might have them, so am I a nobody? Axel and Xion are nobodies like me, yet they seem to have emotions just like me. What makes other people so different from us Nobodies?" Roxas asked himself mentally until he reached the activity room, where he saw Xion and Axel sitting on a couch who finished discussing about what to do on vacations.

"Hey Roxas," Axel cheerfully greeted, "Word on the street is that your mission is gonna be a real tough one today. But fear not, because I also hear that you're partnered up with Xion for today, so you better not hold her back." Axel to Roxas.

"As if, I wouldn't even dream of holding Xion back. Xion and me make a great team, so there's no way we can fail, isn't that right Xion?" Roxas retorted, taking a seat beside Axel, looking at his Raven-haired companion, Xion, for support against Axel's claim.

Roxas has known Axel since his first days in the Organization , and same goes for Xion, so Axel has always got their backs, so they always looked up to him in a metaphorical and literal way.

"That's right. Roxas and me can take on any mission together, because we can use teamwork. Also, Roxas has never held me back before, so there's no way he'll hold me back now." Xion happily responded, "Also, speaking of hearing things. I heard that you're partnered with Demyx today, you think you can handle him?"

"Who told you that?" Axel asked," Why must I be given such rotten luck? Heh, I'd rather get partnered up with Larxene, at least she helps get the mission over with."

"Heyy, have a heart, I have feelings too ya know. You ever gonna cut me some slack? "Demyx appeared wearing a blanket and having a thermometer in his mouth." Larxene is too vicious, even on simple missions like reconnaissance. You guys know me; reconnaissance is like my forte. Well second forte since my music with my Sitar is my first forte."

"What's with the get-up ya doofus? You know we're partnered up today. We're supposed to do a big heartless extermination down at Nightmare Before Christmas Town. So, that means we won't be doing any kind of recon mission for a while."

"Com'on Axel, give me a break this time; I'm sick like a dog over here, honest *coughing*." Demyx pleaded.

"You're helping me whether you're clean as a whistle or sick as a dog, so go get packed up!" Axel said bossing Demyx around like Saix would.

"*Groan* I knew the Organization wouldn't even give me a break, even when I'm sick *coughing*..." Demyx grumbled as he walked away to go get prepared.

"So Axel, can you use teamwork to finish your missions together?" Xion cheekily asked Axel, who was massaging his temples thinking of how exhausting today would be for him.

"Yeah, I'm a tough guy unlike you two softies." Axel confidently replies while reaching for something inside his coat, "Besides you guys might need my help. Anyway, have some elixirs. From the mission brief, I saw Xemnas give to Saix, you're gonna need all the help you can get."

"Thanks Axel, but shouldn't you keep some just in case? What if Demyx or you somehow get hurt?" Xion asked while Roxas accepted the offer.

"No worries. Knowing Demyx, he's probably loaded with more potions and ethers than all the organization members have combined." Axel smirked, "It's how he always gets ready."

"Alright, I guess it's time we head out, you ready Xion?" Roxas said getting off his comfortable place on the couch.

"Yeah." Xion replies following his lead.

Roxas and Xion walk towards Saix to receive their mission details. Every now and then before a mission Roxas would think about first impressions of everyone he's met in the Organization and compare to what he thinks of them now.

"Axel, he's sometimes called the "Fury of Dancing Flames" the VIII (8th) member of Organization XIII (Roman Numerals means 13). He uses flames and chakrams. He's taught me everything about how to do missions, what friendship is like, and has pretty much all the answers to any questions that Xion or I ask. Despite giving sassy at times, which is often, he's still a dependable friend and someone I trust. Axel is the oldest out of Xion and me.

Xion, she also uses a Keyblade, just like me. Larxene and her are the only females in the Organization. Since the moment I met her, I think I had this connection with her, not like a normal friendship, but something that's different, it has similar feelings though. I asked Axel about it, but he can't seem to answer my question. How do I feel about Xion? She's important, I know that. I guess since I got recruited into the Organization before her, I want to help her like Axel has helped me. Yeah. That's gotta be it.

Saix, the VII member. Why does he hate Xion so much? She hasn't done anything wrong, she tries her best and Saix always insults her every time. I don't like it one bit. I wonder how the other members feel about Xion. Well, guess I'll have to think about this later, now it's mission time.

The two wielders of the Keyblade approach Saix the VII member and nicknamed," The Luna Diviner." He wore a black coat, and had an ocean blue hair, with an X-scar on his face. His scar wasn't just for show; he goes berserk during battles, showing no mercy to any foe in sight. Despite his monstrous abilities in battles, he's usually giving orders and missions to other members, and the right-hand man of Xemnas, The leader of Organization XIII. Making Saix mad is something Xion and Roxas don't want to do.

"Today Xion and Roxas, you two are going to the world of Soul Eater, you are granted permission for talking to SOME of the people there, as well as revealing yourselves." Saix handing them important papers regarding their objectives. "Also it's just another hunting mission, no failing unless you want to turn into dusks, do you two understand me?"

"Yes Sir." Both Xion and Roxas answered back. They felt a chill run through their backs as he creates a portal of darkness with a motion of his hand. Despite all members of Organization being able to make them; whenever Saix made it, it seemed to cold and scary.

* Xion and Roxas walk through the Corridor of Darkness*

While waiting for the Portal of Darkness to finish transporting them from the Castle into the world of Soul Eater, Roxas and Xion went over the papers Saix gave them, making sure they know what to do and if there's anything else they should know just in case Saix doesn't tell them something that could help make their mission be completed easier.

From, The Organization

After reviewing the papers, the Portal of Darkness had finally transferred Roxas and Xion into the World of Soul Eater.

*Scenery of a town in Soul Eater *

As Roxas and Xion exited the Portal of Darkness, they explored and took notes of the close by streets, houses, and alleyways. The dirt and filth all around made the place reek, and lots of slashes and gashes on the walls and even floor. Shattered windows left and right. Even glass remained on the floor.

"Alright Roxas, what do you think we can conclude about this place, besides that it smells and is badly damaged?" Xion asking as they looked around, searching for any signs of their Target.

"Well… "Roxas said examining the slashes at a stone wall," It seems whoever was fighting, somehow beat all of the heartless. But something happened, and there's some weird trail of dust in the alleyway. Whoever was fighting must have done something pretty drastic near the end."

"Alright, so since this place is so beaten up, I guess we can say the heartless have disturbed the place for quite some time, after some time, that's when someone decided to fight back."

"What makes you think that? If it was a problem from the start, wouldn't the residents try to fight back?" Roxas asked.

"Well I think they would fight from the start, but they failed, which is why this place is in bad shape. Eventually someone different had to help and did something drastic. "Xion said as she examined broken concrete.

*Xion examines the papers Saix gave them earlier*

"... Strange, anyway let's go search and ask around, maybe one of the locals might know." Xion suggests.

"Wait. Asks the locals, but every mission so far the others always said -"

"Remember, we have permission for this one, so let's use it wisely." Xion interrupted him

"Right."

*Xion and Roxas searching for the whereabouts of their Target*

*MEANWHILE*

At the same time, in the same city, while Roxas and Xion kept searching for their Target, another duo of teenagers began fighting against heartless. A boy who could take the shape of a scythe, and a girl who can wield him in that form. Currently their situation was far from dire, but in a fight to survive, anything can happen within a matter of seconds.

"Here they come, get ready!" the Boy in Scythe form says.

"Right!" The Girl responds slicing another heartless Soldier down.

"Geez what up with these things, every time we slice them, more keep coming!"

"I know! I think we might have to use our Soul Resonance on these things!"

"Are you sure? We can just temporary run and think of a plan afterwards."

"No, if we don't take care of them, who will? There aren't any other meisters and weapons around and the locals can't seem to do much either, so it's either now or never, besides what are the odds of all these creeps getting together anyway? It'll just be like taking down that other creature we took down an hour ago."

"Fine, we'll use it…-" She jumps back and prepares the move," Are you ready?"

"Hell yeah!" the heartless watch and wait.

*The glow surrounds them and she spins the Scythe*

"Soul Resonance! / Soul Resonance!" They both shout

The Scythe transforms as the determined girl takes her stance," Come at me creeps!" The heartless all come at them.

* Close by and back to Xion and Roxas *

Roxas and Xion slowly walked, listening to the quietness of the town. As the day went longer, the quietness made them feel more uneasy. They heard fighting in the distant and within minutes it stopped. They could not pinpoint where the fighting happened, but they decided to walk in that direction, in hopes of finding any clues for their Target.

"Xion, you think it's strange how we've haven't seen any heartless today?" Roxas asked

"Now that you mention it, yeah, you're right. I would have guessed a town like this would be crowded with them, even if someone else was fighting them. What if someone else already took down our Target?" Xion said becoming worried.

"Well, IF that happened, it would only come back again because only our Keyblades can send them to Kingdom Hearts." Roxas reminded her.," Anyway let's keep sear-"

*SMACK*

A sparkly Yellow Opera out of nowhere, flies and slams into Roxas' head, and vanishes as Roxas falls onto the floor, leaving imaginary stars and fairies to dance around his head.

"Roxas!" Xion said, witnessing the whole thing. Her instincts told her to look around, they've been ambushed by heartless and emblem heartless.

"Well the heartless are here, but where's our Target?" she muttered. When she tried touching Roxas, in trying to pick him up, a ball of light formed in front of Xion. Xion looked at the ball curiously, it slowly went directly into Xion's chest and out, then into Roxas' chest. A bright link between the two was formed, and the ball of light that appeared quickly vanished once the bright link had disappeared.

"Roxas did you see that glow?" Xion asked as she shook him.

"Ughhh…" Roxas groaned as he regained consciousness as the stars and fairies waved goodbye," What light? Anyway, right now let's just take care of these heartless."

"Right."

Roxas and Xion extended their arms, trying to summon their Keyblades but nothing happened.

"Why isn't it working?" Xion panicking, desperately trying to imagine the form of the Keyblade. She felt a warm feeling in her hand, but couldn't see the Keyblade appearing or popping out. She kept on trying to summon the Keyblade despite the numerous failed attempts.

"I don't know. I can't seem to make mine appear either." Roxas responded becoming frustrated.

A Shadow heartless jumped at Roxas with claws ready for the kill. It's eyes brightly shined, it's claws was inches away from Roxas' face.

"Back off of Roxas!" Xion shouted and punches that Shadow heartless into the other heartless, causing a few to vanish.

"Woah, I've never been that strong!" She said astonished.

"Xi-Xion what's wrong with you. Your hand, it's not a hand anymore!" Roxas screams dumbfoundedly.

Xion sees her "hand". The glove and skin was no longer shown; it was replaced with what looked like the end of a Keyblade. Despite the appearance, it still felt like her hand, but just looked like a Keyblade. She gazed at this sight and wondered, "Could it have been from the light?"

"Try summoning your Keyblade again, I'll hold them off a bit." Roxas says throwing a brick at them

Xion obeyed Roxas, and closed her ocean blue eyes. This time her concentration had strengthened immensely, the Keyblade's image was clearer than it ever had been before in her mind; the hilt, the blade, the shape, the weight, the edges, all of it she remembered in greater detail than before bursting in her mind. Suddenly, darkness appeared from the cracks of the broken concrete. Within seconds it had surrounded her completely.

"Roxas help!"

Roxas turned around and saw not Xion, but a Keyblade on the floor. Instinctively he ran and picked it up.

"Xion? XION where are you?" Roxas shouted while running from the heartless. "Where is Xion? Why am I running from the heartless?"

"I'm right here, you're holding me Roxas!"

Roxas ran into an empty alleyway and looked at the Keyblade that had supposedly just imitated Xion's voice. Before Roxas could do anything else the previous heartless had all jumped at him, about to strike Roxas down, hoping to get the kill.

"WITCH HUNTER!" an unexpected fighter appears; jumping down from a roof above, and slashed with a big Scythe emitting lots of light in her hand into the ground. The big Scythe broke, forming into a smaller version, as all the light that surrounded it, had transferred onto the floor, and eliminating all the heartless who got hit by the light. This mysterious fighter had saved Roxas and the Keyblade he picked up.

*Scene of heartless vanished*

There laid in front of Roxas. A fierce petite white Caucasian girl wearing a black coat and underneath was a school uniform made of a plaid skirt, black shorts, white shirt sleeve, and a pair of X-shoes. She looked exhausted and stared sharply into Roxas' sky blue eyes with her vomit green eyes and onto his questionable black trench coat with a hoodie attached. Roxas was cautious and speechless because he had gotten a weird vibe from the stranger's stare.

The female fighter on the other hand, couldn't say it out loud, but something seemed wayyy off about this guy that put her on edge. His dark style of clothing practically covered his entire body, the only thing shown was his face. What made him look weird was that unusually large key he was holding. "Who is this guy? What kind of weapon is that? Is that a big key? Can keys even be that big or be used as weapons? Could he be a meister that goes to a different school? Who's his partner, I can't a reading on this guy." she questioned mentally. Whatever the case, she was exhausted from all that fighting and this kid seemed suspicious, so maybe he's new to the slaying Kishin business. Perhaps asking him a few questions might put her on ease. First time for everything.

"*Huff, huff* What kind of meister are you? You're supposed to use your partner to whack the enemies, not run away from them!" she tiredly stated, lecturing Roxas out of the blue.

"Huh? Where's Xion? Who are you? And what's a Meister? "Roxas feeling unprepared for getting questioned about something he wasn't informed of. However, he should at least respond.

"Shouldn't you give introductions before asking questions?" Xion's voice said coming from the Keyblade.

"Ahhh!" Roxas said dropping the Keyblade on the floor," Did the Keyblade just talk?"

"Ouch!" The Keyblade squeaked upon hitting the floor

"Haha" the mysterious girl laughed, relaxing her shoulders, losing all the tension she had previously and starts laughing some more.

"What's so funny?" Roxas said looking confused.

"I'm sorry, it's just that… That weapon you dropped, I'm pretty sure that IS Xion, the girl you talked about." The female fighter said

"!... Xion you've become the Keyblade?"

"Yes, that's what I tried telling you earlier Roxas." Xion said in Keyblade form

"So this Xion girl is a weapon, so this guy must be her meister, or at I think… what do you think partner?"

"I don't care, he's probably just a cosplayer. Either that or he's new to the whole slaying Kishin business, human weapons and meister life." the boy shrugged while still in weapon form just in case any more of those creeps appeared again.

"Xion, can you get out of the Keyblade?" Asked Roxas

"Uhh, do you know how to not be in weapon form Xion? If not, my partner can help you I think." she asked pointing to her Scythe, "I think you might be right, they might actually be new to this."

"S-sure. Any help would be much appreciated." Xion replied as Roxas picked her up in Keyblade form.

The girl's Scythe had changed formed into a demi-human, the blade into an arm, and the staff became the rest of his body. He revealed his human form. A young teenage boy with white hair going on one side, red eyes, white pointed teeth, a band on his head with "Soul" on it, red jeans that almost reached the floor, and a black and yellow jacket. For some reason, he looked rather uninterested about this whole scenario. When he pressed his hand onto the Keyblade's end, Roxas went on guard but waited to see what this guy would do.

"GET OUT OF YOUR WEAPON FORM" he said loudly, sending a wave into the Keyblade.

"AHH" The Keyblade said, causing it to deform and return to Xion form.

Roxas may have been prepared for an attack, but he wasn't prepared for that. Xion's sudden return shocked herself as well as Roxas causing her to drop on the floor.

"Xion! Are you alright?" Roxas said worriedly and offering a hand.

"Yes, I'm fine. The image of the Keyblade faded and I became myself again." Xion excitedly said as she accepted Roxas' hand, "Thanks Roxas."

"Yeah. That's how weapons work." he interrupted them," If you want to stay in weapon form, just imagine the weapon and become it, and if you want to revert, just stop thinking of the weapon and imagine yourself."

"Hey, that's a bit rude isn't it. Anyway, I'm Maka Albarn, a meister. And my Partner Weapon over here is Soul "Eater" Evans, a Scythe. So, who are you two?" she asked

"I'm Xion."

"I'm Roxas. Also what's a mei..ster and Partner Weapon?"

"You don't know what a meister is?" Maka asked surprised," Definitely new to the Kishin business." Maka mentally noted, "It's a person who can wield a weapon form. And a person can become a weapon, and the meister uses them to take enemies down." Maka explained

"So Xion can become a weapon, does that mean I'm her meister? "Roxas asked

"I would make the conclusion yes." Maka began," So would you like to join-"

*Pah Pah Pah, Many More Heartless appear and even The Target Appears too*

"Maka, more of those creatures! Get ready!" Soul stated, on guard.

"Ugh, more of them? Alright let's do this! Xion, Roxas if you two want to run, do it now. Soul and I can handle this." Maka prompts them.

"No, our Target is there too. Roxas and I will help you fight." Xion says.

Their Target? So, they're from the DWMA too? Or from somewhere else? Are they actually new to the kishin business? Just who are these two? Maka asked mentally

"Alright, but if it gets too rough, run you two." Maka tells them

"Yeah the same goes for you."

Soul and Maka holds hand and Soul transforms into the Scythe. His arm became a black and red blade, and his body transformed into the staff. When his transform was complete, Maka began to spin him around. After spinning, and striking a battle pose, she charged towards them.

"Xion can you transform into the Keyblade?"

"Y-yeah, but let's do what they did just in case. The… uhh hand thing, so that I don't end up on the floor." Xion suggests blushing slightly.

"Uh, okay."

Xion and Roxas imitated what Maka and Soul did. Xion felt Roxas' warm hands through the gloves, she felt confident that they could get the job done. She trusted his abilities to wield a Keyblade, this time she needed to trust herself to become the Keyblade for him to wield.

Can I do this right? What if I can't do it right? Would Roxas no longer want a to have a friendship with me? No, no, Roxas isn't like that, neither is Axel. If I made a mistake, they would be there to help me fix it; it's what friends are for. Right now, we have a job to accomplish, I must do this for Roxas. Do it for Roxas. I will do this right, Be the Keyblade. Be... The... Keyblade...

The image of the Keyblade fills Xion's mind and she transforms into the Keyblade. Her arm became the blade, her hand formed into the handle, and her body became the pommel. The Heartless came at them, while the Target, silently watches to examine what will happen. The battle begins.

The soldiers lash and slash at Maka, only for her to spin her scythe to take the hit, she dashes pasts them and cuts them from behind. Yellow Operas began casting lighting spells at Maka, only to get interrupted and struck down by Roxas. Roxas was slowly getting used to using Xion in Keyblade form. The Keyblade to him felt a bit heavier, but much warmer and stronger. Did Xion weigh more than a Keyblade? Or did her Keyblade form weigh more than the average Keyblade? Whatever the case was, the impact he gave the Yellow Operas seemed to have more damage than he thought after the Hearts came out after a few blows.

"Why are hearts coming out instead of human souls? Why do the hearts look so pinkish? Where are the hearts going? Is there something special about Xion's Keyblade form?" Maka wondered as she saw the hearts ascend into the sky.

"Great, all that's left are Shadows, Soldiers, a Neoshadow, a Sergeant, a Pink Concerto, and our Target. We got this." Roxas mentally said, feeling more confident.

"Xion, can you use magic in this form?" Roxas quickly asked evading a toxic cloud and slashes from Shadows and Soldiers.

"I think so. Just tell me which type of magic you need, and I'll try my best to do it. Okay?"

"Alright. I'll give the signal for a Fire." Roxas told her.

Before Roxas could give the signal, a Neoshadow creeped up from behind and Roxas got stunned by its shockwave, and the remaining three soldiers and the Sergeant darted towards him ready to finish him with a deadly barrage of kicks. The Sergeant went first kicking him so hard he launched into the wall of an alleyway," AUGH." Roxas groaned in pain as the three Soldiers ran after him in unison.

"Roxas get up!" Xion in Keyblade form screamed as the Soldiers all prepared to curb-stomp whatever life Roxas had left in him. Before the three Soldiers could finish him off, Maka sprinted and used her Scythe to slice all three. She succeeded in eliminating the last of the Soldiers in that attack; however, the Sargent dodged the last slice and retaliated with a devastating kick to Maka's stomach, causing her to crash into the wall beside Roxas.

"AUGHH *Cough* *Cough*" Maka winced in pain, while holding one hand on her stomach, and the other holding onto to Soul's Scythe form. Her form was shaky and her legs wobbled.

"Roxas, I said run if things get tough. I... can take them." Maka told Roxas, as she tiredly walked between him and the Sergeant.

Roxas felt his pride was attacked and felt that Maka was trying to beat him at his one job for Organization XIII. Roxas groggily raised his Keyblade at the Sergeant and said,"Fire!"

Maka saw this as a signal to jump out of the way. She jumped just as the Fire came out of the Keyblade and blasted the Sergeant in the face. Before the Sergeant could give one last kick, it exploded and its heart went up. The shadow types and Pink Concerto slowly went closer to the two fighters.

"You can use magic!? When did meisters use magic?" Maka said with a puzzled look.

"Where did these two come from?" she asked again mentally

"Can't you use magic too? Isn't your Overlimit a magic thing?" Roxas asked drinking a yellow bottle and tossing another at Maka," Here, drink this. It'll restore your energy."

Maka caught the yellow bottle and eyed it suspiciously.

"Maka careful, you can't trust these guys just yet. This sounds too good, and too weird." Soul told her.

"I know Soul, but these two don't look like they're trying to trick us. He's helping us fight. Whoever he is. If anything does happen, I'll tell you straight away. I promise." Maka reassuring Soul. Maka drank the bottle in one slurp. Suddenly the pain from the Sargeant's kick faded, and her fatigue was gone.

"Wow, what is this stuff?" Maka asked Roxas who was too busy slamming the Shadows with his Weapon partner left and right. "That's rude. Guy can't even keep a conversation during a fight." Soul commented. "Oh shush." Maka merely said spinning Soul in Scythe mode, and challenged the Neoshadow to fight her," Hey ugly! Fight me!" but it had somewhat backfired, because both the Neoshadow and the Pink Concerto began to approach her at the same time.

"Maka, you wanna wait for Roxas to finish taking down those weirdos so he can help you take these two down, or you think you handle these two?" Soul telling Maka her choices from his perspective.

Maka felt a chill go up her spine as the two creatures got closer. It was an exciting chill that told her that taking on two would be a challenge. Her heart started to beat a little faster, yet her breathing became more steady. A confident yet wild smile came out. She was gonna take them both on.

"Soul, I want to take them both on. But let's use Soul Resonance, I have an idea." Maka prompted confidently.

"Heh, I knew you would pick the cooler option. I'm ready anytime." Soul smugly said.

Maka grins, and throws a rock at a lantern, causing it to burn into a barrel trashcan. This was her idea of innovation that would come out as crazy, new, and that would kill two, or maybe three birds with one stone. In this case, with one signature slash to take down those creeps for good.

Standing next to the burning barrel, Maka calls out the Neoshadow and Pink Concerto to fight, but louder than the first time. They both approach her even more cautiously. Maka knew the creatures had yet to enter her Scythe's range. She began spinning Soul in a fast tempo with slow heartbeats following along. Roxas had finished taking down the rest of the shadows and saw the spectacle before them.

"Soul Resonance/ Soul Resonance!" Both Maka and Soul shouting in glowing unison. The scythe and took a new form, a brighter, sharper, and bigger version of the first scythe Maka was using when she saved Roxas and Xion earlier.

"I-is this their over limit?" Roxas saw with awe leaving his open jaw.

"I think so, I think it might be best to watch what Maka plans to do, but take some distance and go behind for backup, just in case." Xion said in Keyblade form.

Roxas went with Xion's plan and waited to see what Maka was planning.

Maka lowered the newer scythe near the barrel of fire. The Scythe was on fire. . . "Ouch, hey you sure you know what you're doing Maka? I can take the heat like the next guy, but even I have my limits, so hurry up!" Soul said, burning with literal fire.

Maka bolted towards the Neoshadow first, who accepted the young challenger. Before the Neoshadow contact its deadly claws, Maka leaped above and in an intense swing with Soul, an upward slash, cutting the Neoshadow's head to its torso, and when Maka hit the ground, she spun back at the Neoshadow, she swung her Scythe around her body and slashed once more, this time the Scythe that was on fire, setting the Neoshadow on fire, causing it to explode, and vanquish. The radius of the explosion didn't cause too much damage, but sent dust and debris at Maka's way, who was close by, and had her vision clouded with dust everywhere, she couldn't see the bigger creature with the dust in her face.

"Aero!" A blast of wind, sending all the dust and debris past Maka, saving her from any harm. Maka turned to see Roxas waving his hand signaling good job. She gave thumbs up in response and remembered Soul was still on fire, and she thought she try a signature move before they exhausted themselves. The Pink Concerto cut the distance and head butted Maka, sending her into the sky. That hurt Maka a lot, but she was now high enough to perform the move. Hopefully she wouldn't miss. Maka started to descend at a fast pace, and close by to the Pink Concerto. The list of key things needed to pull this off went through Maka's head," Speed? Check. In Range? Check. Soul Resonance? Double check. Victory? It's almost checked." "Witch-Hunt!" Maka slashed the Pink Concerto in half, eliminating it, and sent a shockwave of light and fire following suit eliminated and reaching onto Roxas and Xion's Target. The Target finally took action and dashed through the light n' fire.

"Maka dodge, it's coming straight for us!" Soul warned her. She tried to evade, but the Target still slammed her into a wall.

"AUGHHH" Maka agonized in pain.

" Maka watch out!" Soul shouts. While Maka tried to find an opening with one eye open. The big Scythe form was gone, along with the flames. Since Soul was in normal Scythe form, this meant their Soul Resonance was broken. She saw Roxas running towards her and the Target, pointing the Keyblade like he was gonna use another spell.

"FIREAGA!" Roxas shouted as a bigger fireball shot out at the Target. The Target got off Maka and dodged the big flame, while Maka barely got away from it too. The Target changed courses and aimed its punches towards Roxas and Xion.

"Are you on our side or not?!" Both Maka and Soul angrily shouted at Roxas who was too busy blocking each attack from the Target, unable to counter at all.

"Soul, I'm going in for another charge, you think we can use Witch Hunt one more time?" Maka asked, running towards the Target who had Roxas against the wall now.

"I don't think we have enough time right now, that Roxas guy looks like he's almost done for against that thing. I'd say we should go in like this, I have no flames on me this time and if we give him some time, he might be able to blast that thing sky high. "Soul responded

Maka was now in range to slash at the Target who was pretty much bullying Roxas against a wall. He was trying to protect Xion at all cost because she was beaten out of Keyblade form after blocking so many hits, the image of the Keyblade was beaten out of her head. Maka slashed at it's body with all the strength she could muster with all her might. While the Target used one hand to capture Roxas and Xion's body, it used the remaining hand to extend and catch Soul's Chine in Scythe mode (The Chine is the long sharp part at the end of a Scythe).

*BBBZZZTTT*

Shockwaves came out, zapping the energy out of Soul and Maka at a rapid pace. Soul got in the crossfire and forced out of Scythe mode due to mental exhaustion and Maka fell on her knees by physical exhaustion. The Target had grabbed both Maka and Soul together in one hand and put them with a defeated Roxas and Xion. The Target had defeated two Organization members and a Meister and Weapon duo.
