GODDDDDDD i fixed this chap 4 times now, the site just wont swap it out for the mess up on posting chap one by mistake! sry everyone, it was just filler anyway, but i posted chp 1 accidentally, then tried to fix it, didnt realize it didnt take, went back did it again when i was notified by my good friend Demonata1-04, well, a loved reader of this fic, not sure that they'd want to be my friend, but then again when i went back on, still didnt take, so finally read reviews once my internet decided not to hate me for 5 mins, and read undead3 's review and am like " ARE YOU FRIGGING KIDDING T STILL HASNT TAKEN! so sry to you all, and Demonata1-04 specially cause you told my first and now i feel douche-y like i blew you off almost when you were helping me, and i was all like 'it was a fluke, its normal now get over it' (or something like that cause im a total jerk with a god complex) even tho it wasn't normal and i took like 3 days to even check on it. I feel so awful everyone... sry.

Chp. 10,

I remember getting up this morning. Contrary to my usual awakening to the twins, Fire and Thunder, giggling and bouncing on me, I got up to the sound of silence. I suppose they remembered as well that today was set for the capture of Baba Yaga's Castle.

We set out some time later for the mission. We a met Medusa, and snuck into the castle underground through a sewage. We got split up, and Ox ended up being his weird old man's chess partner for four rounds while we tried to blend in with the other henchmen. Thankfully, Mosquito, the old man, had business to attend to, and needed to take his leave. Ox likes to think he was just using an excuse so he didn't have to forfeit the match.

We regrouped, and Medusa sent us to destroy some magic device in some tunnel or something. With this, she gave us some sort of vector power up to each of the twins. It took five minutes to calm them down from running around dancing with the weird arrows hovering over their heads.

We were explicitly told to stay in disguise, but when most of the other locks had been destroyed already, and we still couldn't find ours, we ditched the outfit, and started beating up on some serious bad guy tail. Fire and Thunder resonated pretty badass-ly with me, and we beat the snot out of all sort of weird characters. Ox was fighting with me as well, but after being stabbed earlier in the rescue of Kim, he was a little slow.

Trouble came when the twins got mesmerized by an 'artifact' guy that reminded me of Excalibur. Some big guy tried to blow me up while the twins were prancing around with the little weirdo, but the direction of the blast actually took out the magic lock we had been looking for. Who the hell thought to hide the lock in a giant engine? Or maybe the engine was the lock?

Anyway, I came out alright there, but I did got knocked around a bit while the twins were off gallivanting around. Worst case I probably have a cracked rib, so no biggy. A lot of psycho crap happened next, insanity itself attacked us, but it turns out Soul and Maka, trying to one-up all our efforts of course, knocked it out with this music that echoed all over the castle.

We set off to find others, and found Blackstar was torn up pretty badly with Tsubaki. Liz and Patty found us and everyone started squabbling over the mission. Maka turned up- stabbed and betrayed by Medusa, I may add- but otherwise fine.

Geeze, when would that girl learn not to trust a witch?

She later announced our old pal Crona was nearby, and even in capture, sent out a distress call. Now I wasn't personally really close with her, but she was a student, and she sure was important to some of the others, so it wasn't like I could speak out when Liz agreed for us to rescue her. After all, how could I just let someone stay in captivity when I could easily lend a hand to save them?

So we took off. I held the Thompsons with Fire and Thnder upon realizing their Meister was out of the picture. Of course, I didn't ask what happened, and I sure as hell wanted to know, but if there was something I could do about it at all, I'm sure they would have told me.

We ran for like a flippin' hour. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but Maka sure did set a hell of a pace! And she wasn't even full speed because she needed scout out wavelengths! BlackStar was just as keen on finding Crona I think, because he trailed Maka quite closely, or maybe he just wanted her to speed up more…..

Of course though, as the only person who wasn't really motivated for the rescue, I was the one running carrying the others here. My pride kept me from asking for them to slow down, but I could feel the twins giggling at my obvious distress silently. The brats!

We pulled into a little clearing, and three mouse witches burst out of a small cave. That was the entrance all right. Before I could volunteer to take them on so I could get out of more running, Liz transformed and slipped through the fingers of thunder's gauntlet. She stood next to me, and took Patty from Fire.

"I got this one- go ahead without me and Patty."

I was about to insist to her that I would take this one on, sacrifice myself to this battle for the sake of the rest of the group to go on, when I got a good look at her face.

She was enfuriated. And determined, and, like, friggin' ballistic. I don't know what happened, maybe it was something that happened in one of the fights earlier, but she was zoned, and nothing I would say would change her mind from beating this witch to a bloody pulp. Like I'd be stupid enough to argue with her right now anyway though.

The Mizune shot down small beams of light at us like a machine gun attacks. Well, that was perfect, Liz would be matched for long range, it was all up to the better marksman.

Since there was no way I would take this fight from her, I reluctantly sprinted on to keep up with Maka. A Mizune came sweeping down toward me in a flash, and a split second before it rammed into me, a fist collided with its face. I turned to see Patty flying forward, fist smashing into the Mizune's cheek, the rest of Patty closely following as she hurtled passed. I glanced back to see Liz and realized she had thrown Patty in gun from toward me, and let her transform last second to beat down the witch. By now Liz was preoccupied with the other Mizune, and was shooting them with her partial transformed hand, index finger pointed out as a barrel to her gun.

I had never realized these girls were so advanced. Partial transformations are a top ranking ability to perform accurately. Beginners often do it, but only by mistake. The twins couldn't really partial yet. Then again, they weren't much fighters themselves yet anyway, so partial-ing wasn't vital really.

But even with me not in the picture, I'm not sure the twins could ever know how to sync like the Thompsons do. Liz can partial, with good aim and strategy, Patty has fight in her, and can shoot rapid fire with amazing speed. Then again, they did grow up on the streets of Brooklyn alone, and were weapons of deaths own son, and probably got instruction from Death himself. So of course they would be highly skilled, but I felt like a moron not to realize it until now.

I thought another brief moment about the two gorgeous sisters before ducking into the cave with the others. It widened as we descended down into a purple hallway. We quickly worked our way forward. I started to wonder if Maka actually knew where she was going because she led us in only one direction, forward.

Soon, after running through two halls and two larger open empty rooms, there was no door leading forward. I slowed to see where she would turn-

Bam!

Maka charged forward and literally punched through the wall with her fist. That girl had a mean falcon punch(1), that I'm positive I would not be able to recover from would it be aimed at me. Her face was stony and determined, and quite frankly,

P.I.S.S.E.D. O.F.F.

We jump into the next hall through Maka's makeshift little, ahem, 'door', and ran on. Mid-step, I felt something wrong m, and stopped, along with the others. There!

Little black floating balls lined the corners of ceiling, wall, and floor down the entire hall and into the ulnit end quite a way down.

"How do we go passed as a group? One could go ahead and try to out run the explosions, but the other two will have to stay behind until the explosions stop and dust clears….." Maka stated solemnly, thankfully not PMSing as much as a few minutes before when she PUNCHED THROUGH A FOOT OF STONE WALL. I guess she just got to blow off some steam…..

I had an idea. I pressed Thunder to the wall. "Ready?" I ask the twins quietly while Maka and Blackstar argued. I pull back, then slam my fist into the stone, and send electric current through the wall. There are small crackling and 'fizrp' sounds along the hall as it lights up mildly with a soft blue light of the discharge I released upon the bombs. Confident in my action, I stroll over and pick myself up one of the Tadpole bombs. Nothing happens.

Useless. Thunder's current deactivated them, rendering them big blobs of nothing but false intimidation. A figure walks into the light of the hall far down, and glares out at me. It turns out it's out Eruka, the frog witch, and Medusa's persona lapdog.

Maka and BlackStar looked at each other, then me. I can tell they think I'm well suited for this battle, and should stay here to deal with it, but don't bothering speaking up.

"Hey guys, I got this one, you two run on ahead and save the princess." I wasn't even done talking before Maka had sped off down the hall. She ran right passed Eruka, brushing her shoulder as she passed. Eruka simply flinched away at the dangerous girl. BlackStar followed quickly, giving me a nod in his pass.

I was done running. Time to brawl.
