The next morning Maka and the others gathered in the Death Room for Lord Death had a mission for them.
"Lord Death what is this about?" asked Maka.
"It had better be important because we broke our date for today," said Soul. At his worlds Maka's facial expression changed to a disturbed one since she knew what her father was going to say.
"What, you're dating now!" said a mad Spirit as he yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Yep," said Soul with a smug smile.
"Maka darling, please tell daddy that this is not true," said Spirit as he got down on his knees and cried into the floor.
"Don't even act like you care about me, you know that disgusts me," said Maka with a disgusted look. Spirit then went and crouched in a corner to cry even more.
"Spirit, maybe you should just leave Maka be," said Stein as he placed one of his hands on Spirit's shoulder, and held a cigarette in the other.
"Uh ham, anyway I have a mission for you eleven," said Lord Death after he coughed into his right hand.
"Wait eleven, but there are only nine of us," said Kid.
"Sorry I'm late," said Crona as he ran into the room.
"Crona you're coming too?" asked Black Star who was a bit surprised at this news.
"Yeah, and I would have been here sooner but Ragnarok wanted candy," said Crona in a shy manner as he held onto a black bag.
"Crona how dare you blame me, it's not my fault we ran out of candy at home," said Ragnarok as he appeared on Crona's back and started to beat the snoot out of him.
"But it is your fault, you eat all of the candy we had last night," said Crona as Ragnarok knocked him to his knees, at which time he dropped the bag. Osh, who was tired of Ragnarok, walked over to them and hit Ragnarok on the back of the head making his eyes bug out.
"Did you just hit me?!" asked Ragnarok as he turned around. When Ragnarok was fully turned around he came face to point with Osh's arm which was in blade form.
"Leave Crona alone Ragnarok, unless you want me to rip you out of him, and don't you think I can't, because the Emotion Resonance gives me the power to turn black blood into normal blood," said Osh with a face that sent a chill down even Ragnarok's back.
"Heh, ok," said Ragnarok with fear in his voice, the first fear that he had ever truly felt in his existence.
"Wait, if the Emotion Resonance kills black blood, then why does it make the black blood in me and Maka to where it gives her the dress?" asked Soul who looked as confused as Black Star on a math test.
"There are two reasons, number one is you are using the Emotion Resonance instead of someone using it on you, and two you have control over the black blood now," said Osh as he held up a finger with each count.
"Oh that makes since," said Maka and Soul at the same time.
"Uh ham, if I may," said Lord Death who wanted to get back to the mission.
"Sorry Lord Death," said everyone with a bow.
"Well then back to the mission briefing, we have been getting entail of strange kishins running around Africa, so I am sending you all to meet up with Dengu Dinga and his partner Alexander," said Lord Death.
"Do you have any more information on the kishins?" asked Kid who had a feeling at what type of kishins they were.
"All I know is there are three of them, and I have this picture," said Lord Death as he handed Osh a photo, and the second Osh took a look at it he grew a sour expression on his face.
"Bad news Vam," said Osh as he handed her the photo. When she saw the photo she automatically dropped it in fear of what was on it.
"What's wrong Vam?" asked Tsubaki.
"The kishins we will be hunting are my parents and little sister," said Vam. Everyone now had unhappy expressions with this turn of events.
"That's not cool," said Soul as he shook his head. As Soul shook his head Vam fell to her knees and begun to cry.
"Hey, stand back up Vam," said Osh as he held her in his arms.
"I can't do it, I could kill Vamsan since he broke the families rules, but I can't kill them," said Vam as she cried into Osh's shoulder.
"Then let's just go too give them information and let Maka and the others fight them," said Osh as he tried to cheer her up.
"You don't mind if we don't get their souls?" asked Vam as she unburied her face from Osh's shoulder.
"I don't mind, besides we can just get normal kishin souls to reach the ninety-ninth one," said Osh, with this compromise Vam agreed to go.
"Alright guys, let's get to it," said Maka. Later they all had made it to the DWMA office in Africa.
"This is the African DWMA office?" asked Vam as everyone looked at a tiny hut. As they stood there everyone noticed a blonde haired man with dark skin walking out of the hut. He was wearing a white shirt with jeans and had combat boots on.
"You must be the kids that Lord Death sent, welcome to Africa," said the man with the tilt of a brown hat that was on his head.
"You must be Dengu," said Maka as she shook the man's hand.
"Yes I am, my partner is still asleep inside, he's a lazy one," said Dengu. A man with no hair and brown eyes then walked out of the hut. The man was wearing a black shirt and had loos baggy pants.
"What's with all of the noise?" asked the man as he let a yawn out.
"Oh, Alexander you're up, meet the students that Lord Death sent to help with the kishins," said Dengu. After the interdictions everyone went inside the hut, all they saw was two beds, a small cooler and a desk.
"No offence but isn't the African DWMA's office a bit small?" asked Kid as he looked around and was a little bothered by the unsymmetrical way that the hut looked.
"Thought you would have learnt not to trust you surroundings Kid," said Alexander as he pressed a button under his desk. On the others side of the room a hidden door opened from the button being pushed.
"Well what are you waiting for?" asked Alexander as he and Dengu stepped in the doorway. Maka and the others followed them into the room. When they stepped in the room they noticed that it was a large elevator.
"Going down," said Dengu as he pressed a button and the elevator began to move.
"Welcome to the real African DWMA headquarters," said Alexander as the elevator stopped and the doors opened. Everyone walked out of the elevator into a room the size of a football field.
"Wow," said Osh as he looked around the room which had black walls with red boarders, two skulls on the left and right walls, and computer towers all over the place.
"Man Lord Death really likes that mask," said Vam as she looked at the walls with disbelief. They all then walked over to the main computer that was at least twenty feet high and twenty feet long.
"Hey Lourene I would like you to meet the students that Lord Death sent," said Dengu. A woman who was sitting in a chair in front of the computer turned around to meet Maka and the others.
"Oh so you're the students, no offence but you don't look all that strong," said Lourene. Before any one could say a word an alarm went off.
"Looks like you kids will get to so us what you're made of sooner than we thought," said Dengu as a video of the three kishin came up on the computer monitor.
"Let's go," said Soul as he and the others ran out of the room, leaving Vam and Osh behind.
"Let's go Soul Link," said everyone after the weapons transformed. The three meisters' souls were then connected together. The three of them were still standing in the base.
"Alright Kid, Black Star, and Crona let's attack them while Osh and Vam give us information," said Maka.
"Wait, before you leave I need to tell you their names, they are Vamthorn, Vamflame, and Vamwa," said Vam as she walked up to them.
"Got it," said Maka. The four meisters and their weapons then left the room to go fight.
"Wait, you two aren't going with them, and how do you know their names?" asked Lourene as she looked at Osh and Vam.
"We have our reasons for both," said Vam who was beating herself up for this decision.
"Huh, like I said before not that strong," said Lourene as she turned back around.
"Ignore her Vam," said Osh as he tried to comfort her. Meanwhile outside, Maka and the others had just come out of the hut.
"Kishins Vamthorn, Vamflame, and Vamwa, your souls shall be ours," said Maka as she and the other two stood with their partners. The three kishins just stood there, as if they were in a trance. Vamthorn had spikes on her head, elbows, and knees, Vamflame looked like he was smoking every time he exhaled and had fire around his rests, and Vamwa just looked like a fish with legs.
"Hey guys can you hear me?" asked Osh over the link that he had set up.
"We can hear you just fine," said Kid back.
"Ok, Vam's mom, Vamthorn's, weakness is the spikes on her body they need to be broken so she gets weaker; her father Vamflame's weakness is his internal fuel source, it's located in his lungs; and her sister's weakness is her legs, she's to top heavy so her legs get weak from the weight," said Osh.
"Thanks, ok Kid you take care of Vamflame, Black Star you take care of Vamwa," said Maka still using the link.
"And what about us Maka?" asked Crona out loud.
"You stay back to guard the hut just in case they attack it," said Maka who was confidant in him.
"Alright," said Crona as he held Ragnarok steadier.
"Alright let's go Emotion Resonance," said Maka, Black Star, Kid and their partners. Down in the real base Lourene was surprised by what was happening on the monitor.
"What is that?" asked Lourene as she saw the weapons change right before her eyes on the monitor.
"It's the power of the new Emotion Resonance me and Vam toot them," said Osh.
"That's impressive kid, did the two of you create it?" asked Dengu.
"Yes," said Vam who was still a little worried over this whole fight.
"Yet you are still down here instead of up there helping to fight," said Lourene. Osh just looked at her with hate boiling in his eyes.
"That's because it's my family their fighting out there," said Vam in a ticked off voice and before Osh could say anything.
"Your family," said Lourene in shock.
"Everyone in Vam's family is a kishin but her," said Osh who was a little surprised at Vam's sudden outburst.
"Hey, I just saw something on the screen," said Dengu. Lourene then rewound the video to the spot that he wanted.
"There in the shade of the trees," said Dengu. Lourene zoomed in on the area Dengu had tooled her, and in the shadow of the trees was a hooded figure.
"There's something in his hand," said Alexander. Lourene zoomed in on the figures hands so they could have a better view of it.
"It looks like a voice box controller," said Lourene as he noticed a spot for a person to speak into. Osh and Vam then noticed a diamond shape on the box.
"Wait, that symbol looks like the ones that appeared on that day," said Vam as she remembered something from her past.
"What symbols?" asked Lourene, Dengu, and Alexander at the same time and were confused at what they were talking about.
"Let's go Vam," said Osh as the two took off for the elevator.
"Wait a minute," said Lourene, but it was too late, for the doors had already closed.
