"Look, I know it was completely wrong for me to go and do this to you. Especially when I was associated with Asura."

"You're damn right it was wrong! You sold out my father to Asura!"

"I had no choice! If he had threatened to kill you, you would have done the same!"

"I would have never sold out your father. Even if you hate him anyway."

Maka looked at him with hate in her eyes. "I highly doubt that. If Asura came to you, you'd do the same!"

"No I wouldn't! I know how much it would pain you if I sold out your father! And as a matter of fact, the whole of Death City could crumble without my father around!"

Maka scoffed at him and crossed her arms. "Your father isn't that important. He's just locked up here."

"My father is everything to me! And you went and sold him out to Asura!"

"It wasn't my fault! It was either your father or the whole of Death City!"

"You could have at least tried to save him rather than hand him over without a second thought!"

Soul stood up off of the bench he had been sitting on. "Look guys, we can still go find Asura and your father and try and save Death City. But it's not gunna be easy."

Black star fell out of a tree he had been perched in. "Are you kidding me Soul?! I could beat Asura with my bare hands! He doesn't stand a chance against me, The mightiest assassin of all time! BLACK STAR!"

Soul wacked him on the head. "You idiot. Remember what happened last time we tried that? You almost died, I got sucked into madness Kid was dead for a period of time, and Maka was nearly killed."

Kid was still blazing. "I don't care! I WILL get my father back no matter what it takes!"

Soul looked at Kid. "You do realize who we are going to have to help us? Right Kid?"

Black star stood up. "We won't need anyone! We have ME!"

Maka shuffled her weight onto her other foot. "We will probably need Stein. Crona and Azusa too."

Kid was looking at Soul very intently. "We don't have to bring her into this. I'd rather not speak to her. Let alone put the faith of my father in her hands."

Soul spread his fingers out in front of him. "Look Kid, if we have me and Maka, that's two." He began counting the people on his fingers and listing the advantages of each person. "Maka and I are weapon and meister. And now that Maka has awakened the black blood in her and is now a weapon, that's another good thing coming out of this. if Black Star and Tsubaki come too, that's four. Plus you, Liz, and Patty is seven. Then we add Stein, Azusa, Crona and Spirit, that's only eleven. If we brought her with us, we'd have a much better chance considering how good she is."

Kid looked at Soul. "Yes she would help. And yes right now we are at an un-symmetrical number. But I simply can't bring her with us."

Black Star was looking at them both. "What are you guys talking about? Who is this 'she' you two are talking about?"

Soul lifted up his hand and silenced Black Star. "Come on Kid! She's the only way to get your dad back!"

"She betrayed my father! I can't bring her back hoping that she will help save him!"

"She's out only chance!"

"STOP!"

Maka ran over and stood between them. "Who are you talking about?"

Kid looked at her. "It's none of your business."

Maka looked at Soul. "Who is it?"

He looked at Kid who shook his head. "No one."

Maka stood there and watched them both for a few moments. "Well I'm not moving until you tell us."

Liz and Patty came walking over to us from the school. "Hey guys!"

Patty giggled and jumped up and down. "HEY HEY HEY! What's up guys?!"

Kid looked at them and called them over. "Girls please sit."

Liz looked confused. "Okay Kid, what's going on?"

"Maka sold out my father to Asura."

Liz's eyes got thin. "Why the hell did you do that Maka?! He's his own flesh and blood!"

Kid grabbed her arm and sat her back down. "We are going to find Asura. We are taking some people to help us."

Soul scooted closer to them. "And Kid won't ask her to help."

Liz and Patty both became very serious. "Why should he have to ask her for help?"

Patty pulled her hair back. "Yeah. She's a Meany. And she's a meany to Kid. I don't like her!"

Soul grabbed Patty's hand. "Think about it. She could help us so much! Even if she was evil towards Kid and Lord Death a long time ago. She might still help us."

Tsubaki finally stood up and spoke. "Are we talking about who I think we are?"

Kid tilted his head down. "Soul, I simply cannot trust her."

Tsubaki looked at them. "Why are you so scared to ask her for a favor Kid?"

Kid looked at Tsubaki realizing she knows who they are talking about. "Because she is evil."

Tsubaki looked at kid. "But she's your mother."
