"Sorry for interrupting your report Sid." Apologetic, Death says to Sid as he resides in the death room, having focused on the mirror report before him.
"That's fine." Sid assures Death.
"That was a report from Maka's team seems like it was quite the severe lesson." Death tells Spirit.
"Huh? Did something happen?" Confused, Sid questions.
"They were under a madness infection attack by something in the form of a clown." Death reveals to Sid.
"What does that mean?" Mystifed, Sid queries confused.
"Terror took the shape of something that could be seen they were about to be taken in first hand by madness." Death informs Sid.
"But how?" Befuddled, Sid asks Death.
"Well if I remember right long ago, a witch could craft creatures and infuse madness into them." Humming, Death recalls.
"You mean witch Morgana right?" Seriously, Sid furrows his brow at the thought, the wicked witch of the west, of the world even…
"Yes but she only used them for defence similar to the golems they were like guards for her it seems this infection has only gotten stronger." Seriously, Death informs Sid.
"That's…isn't this faster than doctor Stein anticipated." Grimacing, Sid bows his head at the thought.
"Even if you want to ask for a detailed explanation DR. Stein is a fugitive do you know where he went? He didn't secret contact you? I know Ava gave me her report on behalf of Spirit but still that only worries me further." Frowning, Death confesses to Sid.
"How come sir?" Sid asks feeling sweat slither down his decomposed from.
"Stein is…rather fond of Ava you see Sid and with how unpredictable he is with his wavelengths I worry he may trigger her madness to overflow." Uncomfortable, Death attempts to explain to Sid.
"To be honest sir he escaped just as Ava said Spirit was too much of a wuss to tell you though. I'm the kind of man who can't hide anything right now his whereabouts are unknown." Proudly, Sid repeats the report.
"Well whatever then what business did you have Sid?" Smiling, Death questions him.
"Right that is, the sender is unknown but a letter with serious information was sent here." Sid reveals said note.
"A tip off?" Death raises a brow at the note in the air.
"Yes here." Sid confirms.
"Let's see let's see…." Death hums looking down at the note.
"Three witches are hidden in death city. The name of those three is written on the piece of paper I just handed to you." Sid reads it out.
"Sid where is this student right now…?" Strictly, Death demands from Sid.
"Right now they are taking an extracurricular lesson." Sid sighs.
"I see…" Death bows his head.
"Were you able to pull out any information from Death scythe witch Risa, Arisa?" Mosquito questions the hostess through the crystal ball.
"It was a piece of cake he freely chats about all kinds of information." Slyly, Arisa exclaims.
"What like?" Mosquito queries.
"Well the Shibusen exams aren't done by Shinigami seems like it's all done by Death Scythe and Lady Ava, pretty risky right?" Arisa adds.
"And then?" Mosquito probes ignoring the mad tick mark upon his temple.
"Well turns out Lord Death is having trouble in paradise." Perversely, one of the witches wiggles her brow bemused.
"Oh?" Mosquito leans in.
"Seems he's been trying to keep his darling wife inside the gallows manor and she's having none of it. Not that I can blame her I hate being ordered around let alone by my husband." Arisa rambles.
"Yeah honestly I don't get how she even kisses that guy where are his lips." Risa adds.
"How did they even make a kid?" Arise turns to Risa who shrugs.
"Risa, Arise prepare for a guest." The hostesses perk up at one of the male vendors peering in from a curtain.
"Seems like we were called for by name we'll get more info for next time." The witches wink.
"Right…" mosquito grumbles as the two witches leave returning to their jobs or so they thought…
"Thanks for waiting you brought a friend along today what's your relationship? What's wrong?" The witches smile as they kneel down, beginning to fuss over the stern scowling Sid sat down by the surprisingly serious Spirit taking them aback.
"You two are suspected of being witches come with us to the academy." Sternly, Spirit tells them.
"Gah wait Risa!" Arisa calls out worried when seeing her hues flare up.
"You…pigs!" Risa attempts to attack with the ice pick but…
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Cold, the voice snaps, fingertips coil around the witches wrist.
"You…" Shaken Risa whimpers.
"L-Lady D-Death!" Arisa gasps.
"How…H-How is she…I-I can't-" Risa comes crashing to her knees heaving clothing her throat.
"I really hate using that side of me." Unfazed, Ava sighs shaking her head at the woman spewing out water ice cubes come spewing out of her mouth as she flails thrashing clutching her throat.
"You'll kill her!" Scared, Arise calls out.
"Relax. We need information from her I won't kill her…not yet. Besides this is just an illusion spell she'll be fine." Swiftly, Ava reels her foot back swiftly slamming her foot into the girl's head crimson spews out as she spams before going limp.
"Arisa!" Risa cries out as Ava picks up the girl, tossing her over to Sid.
"She's just knocked out relax would ya? I rather not have your filthy blood staining my suit okay?" Sighing, she brushes the witch off who bows her head obediently.
"What was that?" Stunned, Spirit gawks at her.
"Nothing you need concern yourself with." Ava assures Spirit brushing him off.
"Ava don't you think you're being a bit rough?" Spirit scowls at her.
"Sorry just hate these sorts of girls." Ava confesses brushing a stray strand of her locks behind her ear.
"What's that meant to mean?" Mad, Risa sneers.
"I think you know what I mean." Methodically, Ava deadpans making Risa seethe.
"You…BI-ARGH!" Risa attempts to lunge at her only to cry out crimson currents burst out of her mouth salvia soon joining as she crumbles if Spirit hadn't steadied the girl from the swift jab to the torso.
"Wanna say that again?" Icily, Ava snatches the girl by her hair, her gold glaring down into a pair of shaking glassy hues before bowing her head to Ava slumping her shoulders in submission.
"I thought not. It'll be a pain for you to use your magic we're gonna gag you." Smirking, Ava informs the two swiftly snapping her fingertips as the witch gasps finding stiches soon forming her lips.
"Ava!" Spirit hisses as the girl tires to open her mouth but wince. Spirit's voice falls to deaf ears as Ava leaves the facility, the two men following behind her as her gold glare narrows at Sid.
"What is it Sid?" She notes his hesitation.
"If that snitch is right then Kim is…" Sid begins brow furrowed.
"Does it matter?" Tiredly, she sighs.
"W-Well…" Sid squirms slightly from her narrowed glare.
"The Rise and Arise girls we seized didn't seem to be bad guys." Spirit points out.
"Not all witches are bad but they are threats. Everyone has their reasons for doing what they do. For now we should hear Kim's side of the story." Ava tells the two, who nod their heads.
"Now if you'll excuse me its best I return to the manor I rather not deal with another lecture from Death." Bitterly, Ava grumbles shoving her hand into her pockets.
"Thanks again for coming Ava." Grateful, Spirit smiles.
"Hey any chance I can get some fresh air without Death breathing down my throat I'm taking I'll see you guys, see you sweetie." Smiling, she pets her son's hair making him grumble swiftly fixing it.
"Mother…" Whining, Kid huffs rolling his eyes, a faint ruby red tint to his embarrassed facial features from his mother's affectionate nature.
"Stay safe yeah." Sweetly, Ava smiles down at her son pecking his temple before leaving as Spirit and Sid share a look of fear, to think someone who just destroyed those witches could change their tune just like that…gods truly were terrifying creatures.
"Because of arachnophobia the east Asia and Africa branches have suffered great losses. They made good use of BREW again this makes the 5th attack…"Azusa reports to lord Death.
"Looks like them picking up BREW was bad after all. Once they bring out BREW we have no choice but to move in that opportunity they attack our base." Death sighs.
"Arachnophobia's scope is expanding even now…by taking our time the war situation is just worsening. When BREW is out we are thrust into impossible conditions." Azusa adjusts her glasses.
"Even if we attack from here we still haven't seized Acrophobia's base with the spiders coming in so cleverly well…we can only react turning around in circles, always too late…what have things come to…" Azusa furrows her brow.
"KILLDIEKILLDIEILLDIE" Suddenly, the mirror rings before Death changed as Sid's face pops up on the mirror.
"Yo this is Sid. I apologise it's an emergency." Sid reports to Death.
"What is it?" Death questions confused.
"The person who sent the list with the three names of witches has appeared." Sid tells Death.
"Eh!? Where!? Here!?" Stunned, Death does a double take by the news.
"Yes…for now they've been placed in prison." Sid informs Death.
"Prison? That list…sad it was true why is that person in prison?" Perplexed, Death quirks his head to the side.
"Yes that is…" Sid trials off scratching the back of his neck, tensing up.
"What did you come back here for…?" Scowling, Spirit demands as he opens the door to the prison, tray in hand after being warned by the guard to be on guard. Spirit walks in glaring daggers at the woman trapped within the child before him.
"It's been a long time death scythe." Smirking, Medusa greets Spirit chained to the stone wall of the dark damp depths of the prison.
"I couldn't forget that look. I understand you've gotten small snake bug do you understand what you've done? By reviving the kishin the chaos is in chaos by the infection of madness." Mad, Spirit kneels down, glaring daggers down at the blonde before him.
"How boring. Talking to you isn't interesting is Dr Stein not around? Oh that's right…he went away." Mischievously, Medusa teases smirking smugly, her eyes narrowing into thin slits smirking slyly.
"How did you know that? How much do you know?" Scowling, Spirit demands from her.
"Well for one I know lady Death is lying to her husband and here I thought a relationship was based on a foundation of trust." Mockingly, Medusa points out quirking her head to the side smirking coyly.
"As if you can talk about relationships." Snippily, Spirit sneers poison dripping down his tone.
"Look I know information that you don't know. Information you want so badly you can taste it. The three names of witches list that I sent it was correct right? As the one who knows…" Medusa exclaims.
"Don't joke around how dare you say that!" Spirt snaps scowling down at the woman.
"I came to make a deal. Should I tell you? Arachnophobia's base the location of baba yaga's castle. The poor Shibusen trying to rill up Arachne should I cooperate?" Medusa offers playfully.
"Are you a fool cooperate? Do you think we'll let you out alive?" Angrily, Spirit shouts at the woman fury flowing through his veins at the sheer nerve of her.
"I fully accept that Shibusen has no faith in me that is why I have prepared the true BREW." Medusa tells Spirit.
"What's the meaning of this? BREW is in acrophobia. The true BREW?" Scoffing, Sprit shakes his head at her.
"Like I said, I came here to make a deal…" Determined, Medusa repeats her tone squirming slightly in the leather claps coiled around her body keeping it bound and at bay.
