Once everyone had gathered up in the house. Lux and Jo each brought upon the mission details to the entire group. The three choices were high ranked and difficult, also being a great way to collect Kishin Eggs.

The first appeared to be simple. A concert was being thrown as a cover up for Kishins to feast on the crowd and any nearby. The Band, bouncers, and security guards are all suspected to be the targets.

The other required stealth to blend into a tourist group visiting a forest and hunt down the nest that had been killing members of the tour. Stealth being needed as to not frighten the tourists and entry inside the forest is only allowed with the tour.

The last however, involved more than just kishins. A Wealthy individual had thrown a large Ball and invited many guests, some of which had no connection to this person whatsoever, reasons believe the person being a witch and using the invited as a way to gather human souls.

After all had understood each mission, each member shook with excitement to finally get back on the saddle and fight again.

"I've already assigned each of you a mission, do not question my logic and reasoning, just complete that which you were given." Nico alerted everyone of the assigned missions. Most of the members held their breaths, some crossing their fingers in hopes to receive the Witch Hunt. "For the concert mission, it will need those who can withstand taking on multiple targets. Lux and Josephine, along with Evia. Despite being a weapon, I trust Jo to lead in this mission."

"Awesome, music and killing stuff!" Said autonomous weapon cheered over receiving a rock concert job.

"Guess we get to work together again." Jo added, remembering the mission in which the radioactive weapon joined.

"The field trip mission will be for none other than Striker with Damien and Melody." The red eyed meister rolled his eyes. "Striker will act as the supervisor and leader of this mission."

"What!?" He was outraged by the decision.

"You may be older than Striker by a year, but I trust a forgetful lion witch more than an insanity stricken man that has a dependency on Dr. Pepper." Damien sat back down, but grumbled a few curses as he sat back down. "The last mission, which will require the remaining Soul Stealer members. Myself and Roy, Ice and Salem, and with additional backup, Akari."

"Awesome, wait since it's invite only, we'll have to sneak in, right?" The black haired weapon asked.

"Actually, my father received an invitation, so all five of us will go in his place." The black haired woman answered her weapon, getting a sigh of frustration from him.

"Dammit, I don't have any formal clothing... Fuck it, I'll see if the Café will let me borrow one of the suits we use for Valentine's Day."

"No need to, I can arrange for all of us to get fitted for formal wear, the Ball isn't until this coming Friday, we'll have plenty of time to prepare." Nico assured her own weapon. "As for the rest of you, the missions also have a set time, the closest time being for the field trip tomorrow morning."

"Still pissed about ditzy the lion leading the mission." Damien muttered under his breath.

As everyone nodded in understanding, the young Gun Blade sat down and looked at his fellow teammates for the mission. 'First mission ever with Salem, I wonder how well he fights and uses that Soul Force...'

"Sorry Nico, I don't need a suit, already got one." Ice explained, leaning against a wall and close to yawning from boredom after all the hype.

"Fair enough." The black haired woman walked up to her weapon and placed a note in his hand. "Here is the address of the tailor shop, just mention my father, they will understand that it will all be free."

"Alright, thanks. Let's go guys." Roy motioned for the white haired boy and black haired swordswoman to follow. The three left the Manor and began to follow directions on the note along with the address.

After over 15 minutes of searching, the small group managed to find it. Salem was the first to enter, keeping the door opened for the others to enter.

"Thank you Salem." Akari showed her gratitude. The Gun Blade approached the counter and rang a bell for service. Almost immediately, a man with silver hair popped up. Wearing a red top hat and suit. The hat which leaned a bit forward and concealed most of the left side of his face along with his silver hair.

"What is it that I can do for you?"

"Um... We're here to get two suits and a dress fitted for us, we know Nico Monaro's Father." The silver haired man flashed a look at a gold pocket watch from his pocket.

"This will take very little time considering you are all adolescents, but gathering the measurements will take time by myself." The man added bored and a bit monotonous. "I'll start with her first, then you two, come along miss." He opened a door behind the counter and motioned for Akari to follow.

"Ok." She shrugged off all the strangeness and complied. Though Roy wanted to stop her and take her back, but he had to be professional since Nico advised they go see him. Though afterwards, he regretted the decision after being left with the painful silence that was Salem.

"This is going to take forever..."


"I can't believe there are laptops under every bed!" Lux beamed as Melody demonstrated the statement.

"I'm just glad we have more girls here, that way we can make the guys do what we want." The pink eyed weapon smiled and added.

"I just noticed that... But they can't all listen to us..." From her bed, the blonde chuckled and stated with a straight face and tone.

"We have boobs, they must obey." All the women laughed at the joke, but the men on the other hand felt a chill go down their spines, minus a Gun Blade.

"Still, Nico, you're so lucky getting the to go to a Ball!" Melody congratulated the black haired meister. Nico stared up at the golden blonde and wondered for a moment.

"I distributed the missions and gave myself the hardest one, no need to congratulate me."

"... Oh, well you get to go on a date with Roy, that's a plus." All the woman stared at the one blonde at what she just said.

"Um... I'm not sure that counts as a date." Lux put in her two bits. 'Pretty sure he's not into dating women either...'

Said weapon's meister shrugged off the weird accusation. "A mission is a mission, nothing more."

Before the conversation could keep going on, Akari walked into the room and jumped into her bed.

"You alright?"

"Yeah, I'm just worried about the guys."


Back in the men's room, both Salem and Roy entered, the white haired boy remained stoic and emotionless, whereas the black haired boy was quiet and just sat at his bed. The men wanted to questioned the two on how their day was, but the saddened look on the Gun Blade's face told them not to.

"So, any idea how many kishins will be hiding out in the forest?" Striker asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence. Damien though for a moment.

"Why are you even asking, all those eggs will go to Melody, you don't have a weapon."

"I don't!?" The red eyed meister slammed his palm onto his forehead and wanted to strangle the lion witch. Ice however was laughing at the witch's stupidity. Despite all the joking around, the two quiet men stayed in their moods.

The following morning, Striker, Damien, and Melody woke up early to prep for their mission. Though on their way down to the kitchen, the scent of fresh food hit their noses. The lion was the first to help himself to the breakfast of bacon and eggs. Though the weapon and meister wondered who had was so kind to make them a meal before a mission.

"This bacon is hard." Striker announced, to him it was a cooked meal, but to the others it was nicely cooked. "I like meat raw."

"You keep eating raw meat, we would have to take you to the vet and get the parasites out of your stomach, then we get you neutered." Cruise grinned at the thought of the lion going through the ordeal.

"What's that's?" And of course, he knew that the witch wouldn't get his insults.

After finishing their breakfast, the three made their way out the door and left the house, though in the corner of his eye, Striker could see a familiar green haired girl sleeping on the couch. A name finally came to mind as he walked out the door.

"Lux..." He whispered, but immediately forgot why he even said the name. "Oh well, time to kill things."
