"Alright, that's all for today. Class dismissed." Sid spoke to the students in the classroom as he sorted the papers that he held. Few seconds later, he looked at the usual students. "Oh yeah, Maka and Soul, Black Star and Tsubaki, Death the Kid and the Thompson Sisters. Go to Death Room after this. Lord Death is calling you three."
Sid left the room as they looked at each other, bothered by the meaning behind the calling.
...
"So, Father. What is this about? Calling the three of us." Kid was the first one to respond on the summoning. "Is there anything out of place?"
"Hmm~ You could say so." Lord Death turned his skull towards them. "We have assigned a special mission to you all."
All of them gulped a bit. They were either curious, or nervous. But, in one thing they were right.
"Before heading to the mission, we'll explain the current situation first. Under no circumstances should you leak this information to anyone else. This is a top secret information." Spirit took a small breath before started explaining the things that had occurred.
...
Of course, the first thing that the children did, was just shocked. The one who was shocked the most, it should be Maka since she's the one who defeated the Kishin Asura with her bare fist. "The Kishin, is still alive...?" Maka stammered.
"B-but, that shouldn't be possible, right!? I mean we defeated it!" Black Star suddenly turned serious. "The hell's up with that black blood!?"
"Father, why do you keep something like this a secret?" Kid stepped forward.
"Because this is a dangerous situation." Lord Death replied. "In this current situation, every person believes that the Kishin Asura has gone for good. What do you think will happen if they found out that the source of all madness is not gone yet, rather still alive somewhere else?"
"...There will be a huge panic." Maka held her chin.
"And that huge panic will accelerate a stronger madness. It will control them, and when that happens, we won't have enough strength to go on."
"This is so not cool... So our special mission had something to do with the cubes, eh?" Soul put his hands inside his pocket.
"Yup~! Thank goodness you're so sharp!" Lord Death's voice is too strung high. "This is where you come. Destroy the cubes, which are probably parts of the Kishin Asura's madness."
"If possible, bring one back here. Stein said that the research team needs more examples."
The students looked at each other. After a few seconds they smiled and grinned as they turned to Spirit and Lord Death. "We'll accept that mission, Lord Death." Maka spoke with a confirmed confidence.
"Alright~! Thank you very much!"
"Father, how many people knew about this?" Kid looked as if he wanted more concrete information. "Of course, aside from us all."
"Only some teachers, and two people that you know well." Lord Death replied.
"Two people that we know well?" Black Star looked curious.
"Yup. Arthur Kirkland and Alfred F. Jones." As a reply, they could only be surprised. "The two of them are strong. Surely you noticed, correct?"
"They are strong, but isn't this too fast?" Tsubaki commented.
"There's nothing too fast for DWMA students. We must stay alert at all times. Something like this might occur again in the future." Lord Death paused for a second. "Don't let this mission to interrupt your daily class. We'll inform one of the four of you once we have located one of the cubes."
"Right!"
...
They discussed with each other after they left the Death Room. They used the classroom since it's empty right now. Black Star sat on the table with his legs crossed and Kid leaned against the wall with one of his hands inside his pocket. The others just stood up.
"I still can't believe that Kishin Asura is still alive..." Maka broke the ice.
"The body was destroyed, but the black blood is not. According to Professor Stein, the black blood might have resided within Personifications..." Kid held his chin. "We don't know who, and this theory hasn't been verified yet."
Silence brewed in the air as the students were thinking hard.
"What's up with the heavy atmosphere? All we have to do is to destroy these cube thingy and it's done, right? It's as simple as that. Why do you need to rethink it over?" Black Star got off the table and turned to the rest.
Tsubaki smiled a bit when he saw Black Star's usual simple thinking. "You know, in one meaning Black Star is right."
Kid sighed a bit and then he smiled, as a sign of relief. "How nice it is to have such a simple mind..."
"HAHAHA! You don't have to worry about a thing when the great me is here!" Black Star pointed towards himself.
...
Meanwhile, in a certain place...
"Alright, Arthur. This should be the last of them." Alfred talked in his Weapon form.
"How do you feel? We've done another Soul Resonance. Are you feeling fine?" Arthur turned towards Alfred, who was still in his Weapon form.
"I'm fine, no worries! You worry too much, Artie!"
"Don't call me that!"
Alfred returned to his human form. It seemed that both of them were on a mission. They were standing in a grassy plain where there's a lot of corrupted souls around them. Looks like those were their results. There should be about... one... two...
"Ten corrupted souls. Alright, this is a lot of progress." Arthur took one of the souls, and then he pointed towards Alfred. The latter looked in confusion. "Alfred, take these."
"Take... how? Eat it?" Alfred sweat-droppped.
"Usually that way."
"Uh... Arthur? How can I eat that red glob without knowing what it is?" Alfred didn't seem to like it.
"These corrupted souls are not meant for your health, you bloody git. They are for your strength. If you eat them, then your power will grow increasingly."
"What's the differences between this and the blue glob? They look the same to me..."
Arthur sighed before answering. Alfred didn't seem to listen in classes at all. "Blue colored souls are souls of innocent people, while red colored souls with hexagon pattern like this are souls of people who are on their way to become a Kishin. Souls like these must be recovered so no new Kishin will be born. Corrupted souls do not give much power, but they are vital for your growth as a Weapon."
"What about the blue ones?"
"Souls of innocent people give a greater power than the red ones-" Before Arthur continued, Alfred cut him in.
"Then, why don't we eat the blue souls!?" He asked in great excitement.
"You twit! Do you want to become a Kishin!? Eating innocent souls are forbidden! Once you eat one, you can't return to being normal again!"
"Alright, alright, I get it... No need to be so mad, Artie..."
Arthur face palmed himself as he gave the red soul to Alfred. "Anyway, eat it. Your strength should recover a bit."
Although reluctant, Alfred tried to gulp the soul at once. When it was swallowed, Arthur turned his face. "How about it? Feel any different?"
"Not really... Actually, I don't feel a thing." Alfred looked around himself, trying to find out what's different, but so far, no results.
Arthur held his chin. He didn't seem convinced. "Hmm... Maybe it won't come up just yet. Anyway, eat the rest. I'll wait."
"Whhhaaattt? Ugh... alright then..." Alfred sighed before he approached the other nine.
"Don't whine! We have to prepare everything in order to fight the next battles!"
...
A/N: Alright, chapter 10. Read and reviews are welcomed. This chapter might not as interesting as before, but this is the least I can do to continue on. To be honest, I already made the ending and the rest of the plot. Now I just have to think on how to deliver the story to the amazing ending I just made.
