"Yes sir," all nine of us said at once.

Us seven of us students raced out of his office and I could swear that Lord Death said, "I hope it's not her. For their sake."

Kid's POV

I ran outside of the school with Liz and Patty in their gun form. Waiting for us was Maka's father Spirit and his partner for this mission Professor Stein.

"Let's get going," the stitched up teacher ordered his students. "And weapon must stay in their weapon form. We don't know who we're dealing with just yet."

"Yes sir," us seven nodded.

Spirit turned into his weapon form, a black scythe, and we ran to a car waiting for us. If our partners weren't in their weapon forms, all nine of us wouldn't fit. We still had a little trouble since both Soul and Spirit was scythes but we made due. With Stein driving, we got to where the witch was in matter of minutes.

The witch kept her back to us as the warm desert wind picked up her long dress and made it sway as we jumped out of the car.

"Who are you witch and why are you so close to Death City?" Stein demanded with Spirit in his hands.

The witch turned to us and smiled. Her purple eyes looked to Stein. She kept her smile but I could tell she was up to something.

"I am not a witch," the witch finally said. "I'm Hecate, the goddess of magic, sorcery, witchcraft, crossroads, trivial knowledge, and necromancy. I have come here for seven mortals with strong hearts and spirits to add us gods on a mission."

"You're a witch and that's all I need to know," Black Star yelled with Tsubaki in her chain scythe form. "And I, the greatest assassin Black Star will give you the honor of dying by my hands."

The Star Clan boy rushed to the Hecate woman and she didn't move. Something was wrong.

"Black Star, stop!" I yelled as I ran after him.

But of course, the big headed meister just ignored me and when he was only a few feet away from her, he disappeared with in a bright light.

"Black Star!" Maka called out in surprise.

"He's gone," Soul said in shock.

"What have you done with him?" I demanded as I pointed Liz and Patty at her.

"Don't worry demigod, you'll soon join him. He's safe inside Camp Half-Blood," Hecate answered.

She raised her hand and a bright light appeared into her palm.

"Scatter!" Stein commanded.

I ran to the right, Maka took the left while Stein ran towards her. Hecate just dodged Stein when he brought Spirit to trap her and she threw the glowing orb. The orb landed on Maka and then both she and Soul disappeared as well.

"Maka!" Spirit called out for his daughter.

I brought the gun formed twins and I shot at Hecate a couple of times. My blows seemed to hit her and her forehead bled yellow blood.

"What?" Liz gasped.

"She had yellow blood," Patty laughed.

I have seen different colored blood before, Crona's is black, but my legs where frozen. When I hit her and she bled, her soul wavelength grew greater.

"You have been using soul protect, have you?" Stein asked a sweat drop appeared on his head.

Hecate half nodded. "Something similar to that," she answered. "I keep most of my powers locked up when I'm on Earth for it has a powerful effect on you mortals. When the demigod shot me, a seal was broken and now more of my power is leaking out."

She then began to walk to me with her hand glowing. I forced myself to jump away. "Liz, Patty, Soul Resonance," I ordered.

I kept running, trying to zig zag and keep my pattern chaotic so that Hecate wouldn't get me. My guns grew into large cannons that grabbed my arm just above my elbow.

"Getting ready to fire in five," Liz said as I dodge one of the lights.

"Four!" Patty said cheerfully.

"Three," Liz said as Hecate brought another orb into her hand.

"Two!"

"One."

"Ready to fire," Patty informed me.

I pointed the cannons at Hecate and said, "Death Cannon."

Two large and purple rays made from all three of our souls working together zoomed to the witch just as she threw the orb at me. The two powerful objects collided and it sent all three of us flying. Stein landed on top of the car we took to get here while I landed into a dune. I hit my head hard against the ground and I saw spots.

"Kid, watch out!" Liz voice called out.

My vision cleared enough for me to see Hecate standing at the edge of the dune. She looked as if nothing happened to her. Even the wound I made on her forehead was gone as she pointed her glowing hand to me.

"You have fought well Death the Kid, and I have decided that you three should go to Camp Jupiter and wait for your friends there. Next time we meet, you'll know me as Trivia young hero," she said.

I was then surrounded in the warm light and my eyes closed as the world became dark for me.
