The large group of kids ran toward the outskirts of Death City. Edward and Alphonse began to feel uneasy about Death City. As day turned to night, they began to realise just how eerie the city really was. The sleepy sun had begun to set, clouds attempted to swarm the sun. It was getting darker by the minute. Had Edward really slept that long?

Edward attempted to keep up with the group of kids. They all looked so concentrated. They acted so adult. Just like Ed and Al, these kids had grown up having to act older than their actual age.

"S-soul, look!" Maka yelled, pulling everyone's attention to where she pointed.

In front of the group hovered three witches. Two female and one male. All three were high in the air. The male was tall, with blonde spikey hair. He was shirtless and wore old worn out jeans. He appeared to have an arm tattoo of vines with roses entwined within it. A giant rose shot up from the ground, he sat comfortably in the rose bud. The female witch to the right of the male, was stunning. She had long blonde hair. Her outfit was revealing, consisting of a belly shirt and short jean shorts. She had a small blonde coloured tail and two ears upon her head. She sat in a hovering pink cat bed, she looked sleepy. As for the final witch, she looked like an odd one out. Her expression was lonely, she looked sad. Her outfit consisted of a long black robe. She hovered on the side of a broom. She had long frizzy black hair and a cliché black pointy hat... she was really your stereotypical witch.

The male and cat like witch had amused smirks plastered on their perfect faces. The group of kids came to a halt below, they were not prepared for three witches.

Maka hesitated in her step. She had never felt as scared as she was right then.

"We are looking for the child by the name of Death the Kidd." The male witch hollered down.

The group looked to Kidd, he looked confused and nervous.

"That's me. What do you want?" Kidd asked, his voice was strong, not even a hint of fear lingered within it.

"I want you..." The cat girl hissed.

"Selami please..." The male said with a sigh, addressing the cat witch.

"Whaaat? Hes cute." She pouted.

"We came here to take you with us. You do not fight, we will not strike." The stereotype witch said flatly.

"What for?" Kidd asked the three.

"That's our own business." The male hissed.

"No need to be so rude Crimson... Kidd, we want you for obvious reasons, your Lord Death's son, you have outrageous power... do you not?" Selami asked playfully.

"Forget it!" Kidd yelled.

"Oh, what a shame… Hacate take the short goofy looking one, and the pink... thing. Kidd is mine, Crimson, take care of the rest." She laughed loudly.

"Alright ma'am." Hacate said as she charged on her broom toward Black Star and Crona who had happened to be standing next to each other.

Hacate lifted her hand gracefully; she began to chant a mouthful of words when Selami interrupted her at the last second.

"Oh and dear, I want them alive, only Kidd comes with us!"

Hacate grunted in frustration as she changed her chant, then all of a sudden, both Black Star and Crona collapsed without cause. The witches face stayed emotionless as she flew back to her spot beside her comrades.

"Oh no." Maka couldn't stop the words from escaping her lips. She had never felt this scared in her life, the mission went from a one star meister mission, to a four in only a few seconds.

"I believe this makes it my turn?" The cat witch said happily.

Kidd looked disgusted. The cat witch jumped off her bed and landed on her hands and the tips of her feet. She moved gracefully across the ground like a cat. Her frame was thin and silent. There was a playful look in her eyes as she crept closer and closer to Kidd. He had finally had enough, Kidd raised one of his pistols and aimed it for her face. The cat stopped in her tracks.

"You wouldn't really shoot me, would you boy?" She asked as she licked her hand innocently.

Kidd looked angry as he pulled the trigger. A pink light formed, the remaining of the group watched in almost slow motion as she cat lady jumped in the air, the light grazed her arm leaving a line of scarlet.

"Hissss!" She hissed loudly and angrily as she moved back.

Her eyes became lustful as she looked from her arm to Kidd.

"Oh I will enjoy this now boy!" She yelled loudly.

She began to laugh loudly then was cut off. She shrieked loudly before she turned to dust leaving a purple soul, from behind her, revealed that Maka and used Soul to cut the cat witch in half.

"Thank you Maka." Kidd said simply with a smile.

"SISTER! NOO!" Everyone looked up to see the male witch in tears.

"Oops…" Maka said with a smirk.

"I'll kill you!" He yelled as he jumped off his flower, by now the other witch had fled, she had looked scared, the only emotion she had showed since they saw her.

He let his hand hover above the ground, then a long green stem grew from beneath the pavement. His eyes were filled of sorrow and hatred as he pulled at the green stem. He had made a staff, and on the staff, was spikes, he meant business.

"Maka run!" Soul yelled as he turned himself human and stood with his arms out.

"S-soul what are you doing?" She asked.

"Look, Kidd is tied up, litterly, so is your two new friends! Now listen to me for once, run!" He yelled.

The kids who remained conscious, Edward, Alphonse, Kidd, Liz and Patty, were tied up by vines that now stuck out of the ground.

"No! Soul!"

"Move kid!" Crimson yelled as he gripped Soul shoulder and whipped him across the pavement, knocking him out easily.

Crimson began to get closer and closer to Maka. She backed up as far as she could, until finally, she felt her back hit something cold... the dreaded wall of a building. He had finally reached her, his grip on his spiked staff tightened. When she looked into his eyes... she really thought she was done for... Crimson lifted his hand and smacked her across the face as hard as he could, the hit brought her to the ground.

She let her hand rest on her now red cheek. She looked up to him, before looking over to her friends. Soul was out cold, Kidd had passed out from the tightness of the vines, and Edward looked like he was praying... Her glance turned back to the witch, his eyes had gone from a beautiful ocean blue, to a fiery red. The man lifted his staff and whipped it against Maka's head. She hit the pavement hard.

She was falling in and out of consciousness. Her mind was fading, her vision faint, and her hearing weak.

"Get away from her!" She heard a voice say. She struggled her eyes to see who was there. She could see a small battle happening between Crimson and someone else. Then she heard another voice.

"Maka, are you alright? Brother will look after that man." She now struggled her eyes to see Al, or at least his armour.

"Ed... no... he'll... get... h-hurt..." Maka heard herself say weakly.

"Nah, brother will be fine, see?" Al pointed to Ed. Maka could see the his metal arm was in the shape of a spike, he was fighting Crimson with his staff.

Alphonse scooped up Maka's beaten body. She noticed blood on the ground from where she was picked up from, panic rushed into her body. She attempted to struggled out of Alphonse grasp, but failed. Just then she heard a loud scream, turning her head, she saw Edward removing his hand from the witches chest, like the girl, he turned to dust, leaving a purple witch soul behind.

Maka felt herself smile before her mind went blank.

When Maka felt herself wake up, she had first heard bickering, opening her eyes, she could see Edward fighting with Winry, while Alphonse sat down near Maka's bed. She allowed herself to listen.

"You used the little amount of Alchemy you had to save her? Are you nuts!" Winry yelled.

"Oh shut up! It won't take long for me to get it back! And Al and Mustang still have Alchemy too remember?" Edward yelled back.

"Whatever Ed! I wanna be there when Roy yells at you!" With that she stormed off.

Edward lowered his head and sighed. Maka took this moment to look around, she wasn't alone. Soul was in a bed across from her passed out, same with Kidd and Black Star, seemed all three boys got it pretty hard. Maka figured the girls and Crona were all okay and at home. She let her eyes fall back onto Ed, he turned around and his eyes winded.

"Maka, you're alright." A small smile crept across his lips as he took a seat beside Alphonse.

"Y-Yes, thanks to you." She smiled weakly.

"Nah, your friends did a lot too, Soul tried to be a shield."

"Ed, I saw you kill Crimson."

"Oh. Well then you're welcome." His eyes fell to the ground.

"Why was Winry fighting with you?"

"She doesn't like it here, and well, I used up Alchemy the other day to change the form of my hand."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you waist Alchemy to s-save me? Don't you want to return home?"

"Well... yes, but I wasn't going to let you die."

"Well then thank you."

Maka slowly pulled herself into a sitting position. Her head felt tight, she noticed a mirror on her bedside table, she lifted it and looked into her reflection, it revealed a long stitch just above her left temple.

"Oh no..." She found herself saying.

"It doesn't look that bad..." Edward said as he walked to her side.

"You don't think so?" She asked looking up to him.

"No. You can barely notice it." He winked at her.

Maka smiled as she stood up. She took a quick glance over Edward before throwing her arms around him. He hesitated for an instant before he in return let his arms wrap around her fragile body.

"I can never thank you enough for saving me Edward..." She said as a tear found its way down her cheek.

"It really was nothing Maka..."

The two stood together hugging for a long time, by the time they let go, Maka felt woozy. Edward laughed at her and helped her lay back down. He promised to come back and check on her, but that he had other things to do. He quickly kissed her stitch mark, before running off with his Brother to go and see Roy, whom he knew was going to give him shit.
