It's been only a few days since the Telegraph has been sent out about witches living among. At first, it didn't sit well with the inhabitants of Death City. But they've come to befriend the witches, some witches even wanted to stay there permanently. Kid didn't know about that, but he'd have to wait to deny their requests. As of now, Spartoi was preparing to go meet Mabaa-sama and the Witch Judge along with their army at their rendezvous point. Right outside New York. As of now, Kid was advising Stein and Marie to protect DWMA, and advising Excalibur to not go over the top while looking over Death City in his absence.

"Don't worry Lord Death!" Marie sighed, rubbing her stomach, she was pregnant after all. "We'll protect to our best degree!" Kid smiled.

"As of now, you can't transform Marie, you're pregnant. But I don't doubt that Stein and the other Death Scythes won't be diligent. Watch the mirror, the Prime Minister may try to contact me, if he does, tell him I'm away on political matters."

Spirit looked at Kid, confusion written on his face. Spirit was also joining them in the battle, he was the death scythe Kid would be using. Much to Maka's anger. "Why would the Minister contact you?"

"Due to all these fleeing witches, I need to persuade him to expand the witch realm, since his land is past their borders. Afterwards, the witches here can decide to go to the witch realm or return to New York after this problem is solved."

Spirit raised a brow, "Wait, that's why witches are in Death City?"

Marie rolled her eyes, "Did you not read the Telegraph?"

Maka scoffed, "Stupid Papa," Kid twitched, almost killing Maka when glaring holes through her.

"You should respect your father more." Maybe it triggered something inside of him. Since he was wary of his father near the time of his death but ultimately wanted him to watch on. And with everything that happened with the kishin, he wished he could've spent more time with him before his departure. Shaking off his thoughts, he changed the look on his face, "Nevermind that. We need to leave. Where's Soul?"

As if on cue, Soul came bursting into the Death room, looking like he just woke up and was late for the first day of school. Typical Soul. Kid sighed and turned towards his mirror, giving one last nod to everyone he was entrusted to protect Death city after he departs and opened the mirror to New York city. He and Spartoi stepped through the mirror. Upon first glance, it would seem that nothing was wrong with the city. That everything was all fine and dandy. Well, upon forst glance for a mortal that is. But Kid could see what others could not. There were so many wandering souls that it bothered him so. How did he not know what was happening in the world? He could sense death, death was everywhere. He took a deep breath.

All of this comes with the job. He felt a hand on his shoulder, "Are you okay Death?" Spirit asked him cautiously. He nodded slowly.

"Everyone be cautious. I know you can't see it, but there are many lost souls around. Weapons go into your forms and Meisters, be wary." They followed the orders and walked behind Kid as he led the group.

He wondered how his father would feel about him leading a team like this.

They walked towards the city and were about to enter completely until they heard shots.

"Stay away from out domain DWMA!"

Kid narrowed his eyes, "Who's there!?"

"The Witch Council!"

"What!?" Spartoi voiced.

Kid balled his fists and hovered a bit, "You're kidding me right? We're here to help you and you betray us?"

They laughed and more shots were fired. Maka groaned and fell to the floor. "Maka!" Kid growled and aimed Spirit to where the voice was coming from.

"Reveal yourselves!"

The Witch Judge revealed herself with a smirk and witches flew above their heads, all with venomous intent. Kid rolled his eyes. He expanded his soul, and every one felt it. He was about to take them all out. But the Judge shook her head.

"I wouldn't do that."

She revealed someone next to her in shackles, causing every one to gasp. Kid sighed, "Damn it."

She had captured Crona.
