LunaC: yay! Chapter ten! You guys have raised my confidence so much! It's probably like a twenty on a scale from 1-100!

LG: yeah, she's her own critic

LunaC: well, I can't think of anything I need to tell you peeps! Well, other than I think there will only be about two more chapters of this story. ); but I might just continue it!

LG: yay!

LunaC: yeah, and theres a certain part you people are gonna hate me for.
LunaC: now lets get on with the disclaimer!

LG: LunaC only owns her characters and this story plot!

"Why is it that you called me Casper?" Lord Death asked. She held up the bracelet.

"You've wanted a way to infiltrate Fiona's base for some time now, right?" she asked.

"Yes! She makes it way to complicated. Before we can even see the Sphinx, she has soldiers there."

"That's because she has a security field around it. It alerts her when even one person enters or exits anywhere of a ten mile diameter. Unless there's at least one of these in the group. She gave these to the two other witches who work for her."

"I see! How were you able to get this?"

"It fell off that witch I killed in our mission last week," Phantom answered.

"So, this will help us get into the Sphinx without Fiona knowing?"

"Yes, but she'll know by the time someone's entered the Sphinx."

"Great!"
"But I want to know if we can be part of the group infiltrating the base," Casper added.

"Of course! Can you give that to Sid and tell him and Death Scythe to come see me?"

"Can do sir!" Casper said before walking out. Phantom quickly followed behind her.

"You seem excited," he commented.

"I just want to beat the living crap out of her," Casper replied. "As payback for those years we worked for her."

Phantom realized that he still hadn't told her. He decided he needed to put his fears aside and tell her. (AN: heres where that part that youre gonna hate me for starts)

"Hey Cas, I need to tell you something," he said, grabbing her hand and stopping her. She looked up at him, hoping her face wasn't turning a bright red.

"Y-yeah?"
"I meant to tell you this sooner, and I don't know why I didn't tell you before," he started. Her heart started beating a little faster. God, was this one of her fantasies coming true?
"Remember that day when I went to see Jax, almost a week before he got kidnapped?"

"Yeah, why?" she asked, she disappointment she felt not showing. Her hopes were raised to high. (AN: okay, just gimme that hate. Ill deal with it)

"Well, he told me Rocky faked it. He's still missing, but not because of the mission he went on. Jax thought it might've been Fiona, but other than that h could've been, well, killed. Would she have any reasons to kidnap Rocky?"

"Im not really sure. Unless she got Jax just so she could force him to work for her when we left." Her voice wasn't filled with the shock she felt, or the slight disappointment that Phantom hadn't told her sooner.

"Okay. Im sorry I didn't tell you earlier. Its just that I didn't want you to raise your hopes to much. Just in case he is, you know, dead."

"Its fine. I understand. Im just glad that you told me," she said hugging him. "Now I just wanna beat the crap out of Fiona even more."

Maka sat on the hot desert sand. It had been two days since they had left for what hoped to be the final battle with Fiona. Her, Soul, and the other five were sent out to go into the Sphinx while the rest of Spartoi distracted the guards. Casper and Phantom where there with them. They would temporarily be joining Spartoi at the moment, possibly joining the group if they proved themselves by navigating through the Sphinx and helping to defeat Fiona and the possible kishin. Neither seemed to really care about anything but defeating the witch.

Casper drew a small map with her finger in the sand. "Basically the guards are going to protect the main entrance, because most don't know about the other one," she said, pointing to the front of the Sphinx she drew. "So we'll come around the back way. Its hidden in the back left leg, and brings us to one of the lower passage ways. Once we get in there, it's a simple path with no guards that should lead us to the main hall, which is most likely where Fiona will be, because she would most likely think if anyone is going to get past the guards they'd come in the front entrance and she could stop them there. We'll be coming from the side, so we'll catch her by surprise."

"Kim said she would send up a signal when they got there," Maka added.

"So now we wait," Phantom muttered under his breath. He really hated the sweltering heat, having loved in the cold climate of Russia since he was nine. His hoodie was tied around his waist, his beanie in his hand. He sat with his back against Casper, the two leaning against each other.

It wasn't until about ten minutes later that they saw flames fly into the air.

"Lets go," Casper said, standing up. Phantom transformed and she quickly grabbed him and ran in the direction of the Sphinx. The others did the same and the meisters followed her.

She finally stopped by the historical monument and pushed open a hidden door. They went into find the inside cool and it felt good after sitting in the sun for an hour or so. They were in a small hallway. Casper slowly walked ahead, careful that her footsteps didn't echo off the walls. The other three followed making as little sound as possible. They took many turns, walked through many cobwebs, and saw at least twenty giant spiders which made Liz freak. It wasn't until a while that they saw a light up ahead.

They found themselves in a giant yellow hued stone room. The giant ancient mural was painted on the back wall, and a staircase rose up to an elevated platform. Up there was a woman about thirty. Her orange hair was a frizzy mess, her golden eyes filled with childish glee. She wore a golden top with a brown short skirt and sandals. A brown which hat was on her head, with two little lion ears on top. She turned sharply and grinned when she saw them.

"I was wondering when you'd show up Casper," she greeted. "Miss me?"

"As if," Casper spat back.

"Well, were you able to remove that spell? Because I could always recast it," Fiona said, her hand glowing a faint orange. Phantom quickly transformed.

"You guys too. Just in case," Casper whispered. The other weapons transformed back into their human forms.

"Any reason you haven't killed us yet, Fiona?"

"My my, you are smart. Well, I was saving this for later," she said, pointing a glowing finger at the wall across from the students. The bricks seemed to move, and were replaced that held two men by shackles. One was Jax, the other a slim, muscular man about the same age, his brown hair in a buzz cut, his red t-shirt and jeans ragged. He looked down at them with his purple blue eyes.

"R-Rocky?"
