Everyone's holding their weapons getting ready for their battle. Then the monster swung its arms to hit Maka. She jumped, dodging it. BlackStar threw Tsubaki in her shiruken mode. Kid shot his wavelength through his weapons. Maka looked at the monster.

"What? It barely has a scratch! Only its arm fell off." Maka stated. She jumped and tried to slay it. Then monster hit her right off on her wound. Maka screamed in pain as she fell toward the sand and landed hard.

"Maka!" Kid called out. The monster turned toward Kid he shot it.

"I think it's time to use my Death Cannon."

"Tsubaki! Enchanted sword mode!" BlackStar ordered.

"Okay!"

"Shadow Star!"

"Death Cannon."

"Maka! Are you alright?" Soul asked his partner. Maka was still on the sand, tears coming out and she was holding her waist.

This isn't good. What do I do? I can't move much! If I look at my side, Soul will know something's not right. I have to be strong!

"Maka... are you crying?" Soul asked with a hint of concern.

"What? No!" Maka quickly wiped her eyes and got up. "If nothing will work then I guess I should Witch Hunter."

"Let's go Soul Resonance!" Maka and Soul yelled in unison.

"The legendary super skill of the scythe meister-WITCH HUNTER!" She jumped and sliced the creature. The monster split in half and the upper body was falling toward Maka. She froze in her place, looking at it.

"Maka look out!" BlackStar yelled warning her. He ran toward Maka and pushed her out of the way. The monster fell on BlackStar instead. Maka was sliding on the sand and landed on something hard and metal. Then she looked up.

"BLACKSTAR!" She screamed. The monster rose up and he was underneath it holding it with his two hands. Tsubaki was in human form next to him.

"Be careful BlackStar don't strain yourself!" Tsubaki pleaded while supporting him.

"C'mon! This is nothing!" He bragged. Then he pushed it up and the monster fell backward.

"Whoa..." Kid said in awe. Soul was silent.

"Are you okay Maka?" BlackStar shouted.

"Yeah!" Maka tried to get up but couldn't.

Oh no, I can't stand!

"What's the matter Maka?" Soul questioned.

"Ummm...I can't get up." Maka blushed. The weapons transformed back into human form and everyone ran toward her.

"Are you alright?" Kid asked. Soul held Maka's arm on his shoulder. He held her on her waist as well but she pushed back when she yelped in pain.

"Something wrong?" Soul asked. Kid looked at her.

"Umm, it's nothing." Maka assured nervously.

"Is it alright if I put my hand there? It'll help since you can't move much." Soul said.

"...Sure."

Soul once again laid his hand on her side, causing Maka to jump slightly. Tears silently came out and she looked down so no one would notice. BlackStar bent down and looked at her face.

"Maka are you okay?" He asked.

"Maka?" Tsubaki questioned worriedly.

"I'm fine...hey Soul, maybe you shouldn't put your hand there."

"Alright if you say so."

"That's funny, why is the sand hard?" Patty asked. She squatted down and hit the metal underneath.

"Hey you're right Patty. That is weird." Liz agreed.

"Do you think we should check what it is?" Tsubaki asked.

"Yes we should. Seems pretty suspicious to me." Kid answered.

"Alright then get out of the way everyone! Let me handle this!" The blue-haired boy said. Everyone got off and BlackStar searched through the sand to find clues. Then he found a wheel handle.

"Hey check it out I found something." Everyone neared in to look. BlackStar twisted the wheel and opened the door in the ground. It was dark inside and there was a ladder leading down.

"Oh great. That looks scary maybe we shouldn't have opened it." Liz whimpered.

"Let's go." Kid ordered.

"What?!"

"Alright!" BlackStar cheered. He and Tsubaki jumped down the hole without using the ladder. Kid used his skateboard from his hand and went down the hole on it. Liz and Patty were going down the ladder.

"Ugh. I don't like this."

"Hahaha! It'll be fine!" Patty cheerfully comforted her sister.

"Can you walk yet Maka?" Soul asked.

"Yeah, thanks." As Soul let her go she stumbled a bit.

"C'mon." Soul said. He held out his hand for her.

"Okay." Maka accepted it. They both went down the ladder hand-in-hand. They reached the floor and everyone was already there. It was dim and there were only a few light torches.

"Creepy. What do you think could be down here?" BlackStar asked looking around as his voice echoed.

"There's a hallway on our right. We could go down there." Kid suggested. Tsubaki grabbed a light torch and everyone walked down the hall. They continued to walk until they found a huge square glass filled with water and a girl in it. Next to it was the same thing except with a boy. The girl had on a white, short spaghetti-strapped dress that went up just a little above her knees. She had black hair. The boy had only white shorts on and his hair was black too. Everyone took a while to examine it.

"Whoa. Why are they...?" Soul asked trailing off.

"Strange..." Liz commented. Kid neared toward it. Maka spotted a switch on the wall near the glass. She let go of Soul's hand and walked toward it curiously.

I wonder what this switch is for?

She examined the red and white object then looked at everyone.

"Hey guys. I found a switch here but I'm not quite sure what it does. Should I push the button?"

Everyone paused for a moment to think about it.

"I think you should." Kid answered. He eyed the glass. "It could have something to do with this."

I can feel the souls of those two, so they can't be dead. Maka thought. She pushed the switch. The water slowly drained from the two glasses. The walls of glass also slid down and the box disappeared. Everyone stared the girl when all the water was drained. Maka ran to her as the girl opened her eyes.

"You're finally awake. That's good." Maka said smiling.

"Liz, Patty, go back to the academy and get Professor Stein." Kid ordered his weapons. They nodded and were off. The girl stared at Maka.

"Here. It'll keep you warm." Maka handed the girl her coat and she took it softly.

"Are you alright? You were in a glass full of water. How long were you in there? Oh by the way my name's Maka. What's yours?"

The girl looked down and spoke nervously.

"A-Akaya." She then turned to look at the boy a few meters away from her. Her eyes widened in realization.

"Jolei!" Akaya yelled. She ran up to him and put his head on her lap. She could feel everyone looking at her. BlackStar turned to Soul, not taking his eyes off of Akaya.

He put a hand to the side of his mouth to look like he whispering.

"Hey Soul, is Jolei the guy's name?"

"That girl called him that so I guess so."

BlackStar then turned back. Akaya looked up at them.

"Why are you all here? Who drained the water from our glass?" Akaya asked. Everyone was silent. She gulped once and proceeded talking.

"Will someone a-answer me?"

Everyone noticed the panic in her voice. Then Kid answered her.

"We all arrived here by accident and we drained the water from your glass."

"Why did you do that?" Akaya asked. Tsubaki answered that.

"We saw you guys in there and were worried that you were trapped. We only wanted to help..."

"...What events have happened so far?"

"The Kishin revived but don't worry, it was destroyed. AND I SURPASSED GOD! HAHAHA!" BlackStar bragged. Akaya's eyes widened with shock.

"Asura...?"

Jolei's eyes started to flutter open.

"Jolei? Jolei wake up! It's time to wake up!" Akaya shook him back and forth lightly. Jolei soon sat up and looked around.

"Why are we awake? Did it pass yet?"

"We were asleep for too long. My father died. Now the world is in peace..." One tear fell from Akaya's face. Maka twitched.

Her...dad...?

"Whoa hold on a second! Are you saying the kishin is your father?" Kid asked in disbelief.

"Yes. Who are you?" Akaya demanded.

"Excuse me for being rude but is it any of your business?"

Akaya narrowed her eyebrows.

"Since you were the one who came here and resurrected me I should at least know your name."

"...I'm Death The Kid."

Jolei's eyes widened. He turned to Akaya.

"Akaya! Do you think he's-"

"Jolei. You shouldn't jump to conclusions like that."

They both stood up.

"Weapon form. Now."

Jolei transformed into a sword that was very sharp at the top. Its handle was golden and blue.

"Are you Lord Death's son? And...how long was I in the tank for?" Akaya asked nervously. Her hands were shaking.

"800 years." A voice answered from the darkness. Foot steps came in also with some singing.

"Professor Stein!" Tsubaki called out.

"Yes I am." Kid answered confidently. The grip on the handle Akaya was holding tightened.

"Then you're from the DWMA." Akaya concluded.

"Wait! What about our clan? Of three eyes?" Jolei worriedly asked. His reflection appeared on the weapon.

"That clan does not exist anymore. It was destroyed shortly after the kishin's death." Stein said as he adjusted his glasses. Akaya gritted her teeth.

"I'm going to kill the DWMA. Lord Death will especially pay for this!" She yelled.

"That clan was all we had when the kishin was sealed in his own skin! Now we're left with nothing..." Jolei sadly commented.

"Who are you exactly? Are you from the DWMA too?" Akaya asked. The students positioned themselves to fight. Maka noticed Stein was holding something behind his back. It was a black cross.

Papa...?

"Friends." Stein simply replied.

"What kind of friends?" Akaya asked sternly.

"A lot in this world has changed, daughter of Asura. You as well might-"

"ANSWER MY QUESTION!" Everyone stayed silent. "You're from the DWMA too, aren't you? All of you are. You're no friend. You're an enemy...which means I must put an end to you!"
