It was the next day. I woke up from yet another nightmare. Will they ever stop, I want to know that. I walked to my closet, opened the door and pulled out something to wear. As soon as I got dressed I walked out of my room. It was 8:00, and there was Soul, sitting at the table. Blair as usual was up and making breakfast.
"Hey, finally you're awake. How did you sleep Maka?"
"Eh, the same as before. Another nightmare, barely slept."
I said as I yawned heavily, and stretching.
"Well morning Maka!"
"Hey Blair, I have a question for you."
"Well sure! Ask me anything, meow!"
Blair said as the floating plate of eggs and bacon placed themselves right in front of me.
"Why do you stay over here Blair?"
"Oh why that's silly! I don't have anywhere else to go, and no one else to see. You guys are pretty much my only friends."
Blair giggled as she sounded a bit sad.
"Oh, sorry to hear that Blair. I guess I'll try to not yell at you then, but it depends on what you do."
"It's all good Maka, meow! Oh, I forgot to mention, Lord Death has something to tell you. He wants you to call him."
Blair giggled.
"Okay, come on Soul. We both should call him."
I said smiling a bit.
"Yeah, let's go I guess. Sounds cool, like everything else."
Soul said as we both got up from our chairs. We walked to the mirror that was in the hallway. I walked up to the mirror.
"You take this one Maka. I'll be right here."
Soul said as he raised a thumb up and chuckled.
"Alright. 42-42-564, whenever you want to knock on Death's door."
I said as I drew the numbers on the mirror. The mirror glowed white and we stood there watching waiting for Lord Death to answer.
"Hello, Hello! Good to see you, what's up?"
"Hey Lord Death, you wanted us to call you?"
Soul said as he looked into the mirror.
"Yes I did, I wanted to inform you that we might have a lead on where this note might lead us to. We will begin searching the minute as the sun sets. We'll send you, Soul, Tsubaki, Blackstar, Death, Liz, Patty, and Sid. By the way, meet up at the entrance where you find Excalibur. I believe our assassin is in there somewhere."
"Alright, we'll finally be finding the murderer of Crona. I can't wait."
"Now, Maka and Soul. Originally I'd have us start working on the City, but I found some workers who are doing it. So you don't need to work on the city. I was thinking you probably have had enough stressful work since the Kishin fight, and you'll need all the energy you need if we find this witch."
"Thank you Lord Death, that's really cool of you."
Soul chuckled as he gave Lord Death a thumbs up.
"wow thank you Lord Death! You're the best!"
I said smiling at Lord Death.
"That's good to hear, oh and Maka. I need you to do me a favor."
"I want you to stop that witch when you find it Maka. Whoever it is has done a lot to us."
"Right, will do Lord Death!"
I said as I saluted.
"Yeah, same here. We'll finish her Lord Death. It'll be cool."
"Glad to hear that. We'll I wish you the best of luck Maka!"
Lord Death said as he finished the call.
"Such a cool guy eh Maka?"
Soul chuckled.
"Yeah he is. Hey Soul, I've been wondering, what's Stein been up to?"
"I wouldn't know. I haven't seen him for a couple of days. Come on, lets go see the others."
"Okay, yeah! Let's go see the others."
I said as I smiled. We both headed out of the room, and first went off to the DWMA. We needed to see how our friends Ransa and Oshara were doing. We were hopefully going to see if they wanted to tag along with us. They seem really nice, I hope they are doing okay.
It was 12pm, Soul and I were heading up the school stairs. Nothing out of the ordinary, just the same old staircase. I wonder where everyone else was at.
I was sitting there, in the dark grey colored cell. Wondering why I was sent here, with my best friend Ransa. It makes me feel, like we've done something wrong. I wonder if we can really trust these people.
"Hey Ransa, do you think we'll find a better place to stay in than this?"
I asked Ransa, who was sitting on the floor next to me."
"I hope so, I know we don't have anywhere else to go. This place gives me the creeps."
"Yeah, tell me about it."
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Someone was knocking on the cell type door.
"Someone there?"
Ransa asked curiously.
"Hey Ransa? It's Soul and Maka."
A familiar voice was heard from the otherside.
"Oh Maka? Oh thank god someone to talk to. No one has spoken to us yet, we feel excluded."
"Yeah, what she said."
I said to Maka who was behind the door.
"Oh, well I'm sorry to hear that. Hey Oshara, do you and Ransa want to hang out with us? We have something planned and we thought we could invite you. Wanna come?"
"Yeah, sure. Thank you Maka."
I said as we got up to walk to the door. There were two backpacks on the floor. One full of my clothes, and the other for Ransa. I was wearing another suit, this time it was green. Ransa on the other hand, was wearing black jeans, and a dark blue shirt.
"Sup Oshara."
Soul said as he high fived me.
"Well, not much. The usual I guess."
"That's not cool. You're gonna have loads of fun with us. You should join our group."
"Really? You're wanting us to join?"
"Yeah, you do have a kickass weapon. I'm sorry what happened during you and Blackstar's fight. That scared us."
"We don't have a way to prevent that. It's honestly normal for us. I'm sorry to trouble you guys."
"Nah, its all cool. Come on Maka and Ransa, you gonna stand there or you wanna have some fun?"
"Right, sorry Soul!"
Maka said as she ran up to Soul. Ransa giggled a bit and caught up to me. The four of us walked out of the bottom floor, and was walking around the halls. I wonder if we can actually trust these guys, they seem cool.
"So, Oshara. How do you know Ransa?"
"Oh, that's a long story. Maybe another time Soul, sorry."
I said as I nervously laughed. We made it past the main doors and walked down the stairs.
"Where are we going if you don't mind me asking?"
Ransa asked Soul as she looked at him.
"Going to the one place where a group of friends can go."
Soul said as he nudged at Maka. Maka smiled as she giggled a bit. We walked passed some houses, a few shops and made it to an alley way.
"A basketball court?"
"Hell yeah. Yo Blackstar!"
Soul shouted as he saw Blackstar, Liz, Patty and Kid.
"Yahoo!"
Blackstar shouted as he hopped over the fence guarding the basketball court.
"Hey Soul! Good to see you again!"
"As always my friend. Ready for some basketball?"
Soul said as they high fived each other.
"You know me Soul. I'm always ready. Hey Tsubaki, Ransa and Oshara are here!"
"Oh that's great. Hi Ransa and Oshara!"
Tsubaki smiled as she waved at us.
"Hey Tsubaki!"
Both Ransa and I said to her back as we smiled.
"I have the ball if you guys have the skills."
Kid said as he spun the ball on the top of his fingers.
"Bring it on Kid!" Me, Oshara, Ransa and Maka versus you, Liz, Patty, Blackstar and Tsubaki!"
"You got a ..."
Kid said as he stopped spinning the ball.
"No, we can't go on. We have an extra player. We need to let one of our players sit out, I won't be defeated by an odd number."
Kid looked down at the ground and started sobbing.
"Fine, I'll sit out. Didn't really wanna play anyways."
Patty said as she walked to the bench as she sat down.
"Fair enough. Alright then, let's do this."
Soul passed the ball to me, and I stood there dribbling the ball.
"You're about to see what I can do, hehe."
I grinned as I started dribbling the ball and made a run for the basket.
"Hey Oshara over here!"
Maka said as she waved her hands and Blackstar was covering her. I checked to see if Ransa was open, she was. I threw the ball up in the air towards Ransa.
"I got it!"
Ransa said as she caught it, then started dribbling it. She then jumped up and slam dunked the ball into the hoop.
"Dang, that was cool. Nice shot Ransa."
Soul said as he high fived her.
"Thanks, we have some experience in basketball."
A few hours passed by, the final score was 5 us, Kid and the others 0.
"Whew, that was fun. Great game guys!"
Maka said as she smiled and was panting from being exhausted. We were all exhausted, and the sun was starting to set.
"Hey guys, that was a great game. The sun is setting, we should meet Sid over at the entrance of the Excalibur island."
Death the Kid said as he looked up at the sky.
"Yeah! Come on guys! Lets go take down this witch! Yahoo!"
Blackstar cheered as he threw a fist in the air. We all stayed quiet, remembering Crona as we were walking in the direction of the meeting point. Who was this Sid guy the keep talking about? I hope he's a cool teacher. Roughly 30 minutes passed by, as we could look into the cave of this mysterious "Excalibur" person they speak of. We waited, and waited, continued waiting for some time for Sid to get here. It's not right for a teacher to be late, especially one from the DWMA.
