I know my story is lame, so I really want to thank you all for reading and for those who reviewed.

Ok. I'm gonna try again...

Chapter 5: Underestimated

They finally arrived at a secluded cave somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It wasn't Nevada's middle-of-nowhere, there was healthy and abundant grass surrounding the three parked cars. The air was cool, fresh. The breeze was soft.

Soul and Maka were the first people to step out of the car. They looked around to see the cave covered in the only plant that wasn't around them - vines.

"Not so hard to find..." Soul's face was adorned with his usual shark-tooth grin.

"YAHOO! I AM THE GREAT BLACK- OOOFFFFFF" Black*Star tried jumping out of the car when his foot caught onto the bottom lip of the car. He fell face first into the grass with a thud.

"Geez, could you be any louder?" Liz was holding a nail file in one hand and a nail polish in the other.

"Sis was doing her nails in the car." Patty said.

"Hah! Who wants to hear about that when there's the worlds greatest assassin in the room!?"

"This isn't a room..." Soul deadpanned. Black*Star smiled and raised his index finger into the air. Before any more arrogant words could come out of his mouth, Maka spoke.

"Guys..." Maka said, looking into the sky. Her eyes narrowed "Incoming!"

All the weapons transformed and landed in their Meisters hands. Before Maka could give directions, about ten Kishin's dropped from the sky in front of them in blue uniforms and helmets , the number three printed on each uniform, right above the right chest.

"Capture them all. The only one that needs to be alive is the blonde girl with pigtails."

"Yes, sir!" With that, they attacked.

Maka ducked under a bullet and took him out with a swing to the stomach. With blood all over Soul and Maka's hands, they continued. Black*Star stabbed a man in his neck, then laughing about how "weak you are compared to a god like me!"

"These people are nothing!" Black*Star shouted from behind Kid.

Kid took Liz and Patty and ran in the direction of a man with hair sticking out of his helmet. Only one side.

"Asymmetrical bastard!" Kid yelled, literally shooting the mans head off, along with his asymmetrical haircut. Kid spat on him before almost being shot at by another Kishin. Maka stepped in front of him and deflected the bullet with Soul.

"You ok, Kid?" Maka asked, slicing through two of them in one swing.

"Yeah. Keep it up!" Kid ran towards Black*Star who faced two. One in front and one in the back. Black*Star ducked under, letting their bullets injure their own. From the ground, he spun, using his legs to trip them. He stood up and wrapped Tsubaki's chain around both their necks. In one swift pull, their heads were jerked off their bodies, landing right next to them in a puddle of blood.

Maka took a swing at one of the two she faced. She jumped in the air and spun around with Soul. When she landed, there was a slash going diagonally down each of their chests. They screamed in pain, but Maka silenced them with a kick to the jaw, and then a slice to the throat. A couple drops of their blood splashed onto Maka's lips. But she didn't care, she didn't even notice.

The last one went to Kid. He threw his guns in the air and kicked the man in the jaw. He kicked him in multiple places, getting angry at his asymmetry. Kid punched the guy right in the stomach before head butting his helmet, cracking it. He round-house kicked him. Right when the guy fell to the floor, Kid caught Liz and Patty and held one gun to his face, and one to his heart.

"Goodbye" Kid said with a smile on his face. He was about to pull the triggers when he thought of something. The smile he had on his face faded. He looked at the man through his helmet "Where is Kaito Hayashi?"

"I-I don't know!" The man tried backing away from Kid, but the pain in his body restricted his movements.

"Ok, well then, see you in the after life" Kid pulled the triggers half way before the man spoke.

"F-fine... He-e's not here. D-do you r-rememb-ber the small shack you passed?"

"He's there?" The man nodded at Kid.

"Well, nice meeting you." Kid said, smiling at the man. "Goodbye." Kid pulled the triggers. A loud bang sounded throughout the field. The man was dead, and they knew where Kaito was.

"Let's go." Kid pulled the keys out of his pocket and made his way across the bloody grass and dead bodies. Maka and Tsubaki followed suit. Tsubaki accidentally stepped on a dead man's hand. She silently squeaked, making sure to thoroughly wipe her shoe one some clean grass before slipping into the driver's seat.

"Tsubaki..." Black*Star started, seeing how upset she looked. He placed a hand on hers and looked into her eyes.

"Ah... it's nothing. Let's go." Black*Star kept her hand from reaching the ignition.

"Tell me."

"How many more Kishins will we kill?" Tsubaki looked at him "In the form of humans."

"I don't know..." Black*Star knew what she was talking about. Tsubaki didn't like the idea of killing humans, in fact, when they fought, Tsubaki would reassure herself they were only Kishin.

The trip back to the shack was quiet between the two, however, in Kid's car, it was anything but...

"PATTY! GET OFF ME, I AM TRYING TO DRIVE!" Kid yelled at the blonde girl who had her arms firmly wrapped around his neck, pulling him back towards the seat. Liz was filing her nails, so she didn't care.

"ARHGGRLRGTYKWJ!" Kid's attempts at screams sounded more like gibberish to Liz, but made perfect sense to the giraffe murderer Patty.

"Alright, all you had to do was ask, Kid." Patty sat back down in the backseat and pulled out a knife. She grabbed one of the many giraffe's on the floor of the car and started to cut it slowly. "Hehehehehehehe." A sinister aura started to seep out of the girls skin as she continued to slice the giraffe until there was nothing left. When she was finished, she threw the shreds out of the window.

"Hey, Maka, this is a- what the shit is that?" Soul was about to shower Maka with compliments and encouraging words when suddenly, cotton and yellow fabric shreds started to land all over the car.

"Oi!" Maka yelled to herself, using the windshield wipers to get rid of the fabric.

"Patty's at it again?" Soul muttered under his breath.

They arrived at the shack not too shortly after that. When Maka got out of her her car, she barely had time to react. The ground beneath her began to shake. A few yards away from her, the ground split and a elevator-type thing rose, holding ten more men.

"Incoming!" Kid yelled, holding Liz and Patty. These Kishin's had the number seven printed above their right chest. This time, they were holding katana.

"Here we go, Maka." Soul grabbed Maka's hand and squeezed it, transforming into his weapon.

"Mmmm" A smile crawled onto Maka's face.

"It'll be over soon, Tsubaki." Black*Star looked at his weapon and smiled. "Close your eyes, but don't fall asleep."

"Got it." Tsubaki closed her eyes, but only for a moment. She opened them, realizing that she needed to be there for Black*Star.

The Kishin's attacks were more powerful than the others. Kid was kicked in the stomach and thrown onto the car. They were faster than the others.

Kid thought of something... 'Their squad strength increases with each number...'

"Guys!" Kid yelled, kicking one in the stomach. "Their power is stronger because their number is higher!"

Maka didn't stop blocking to attack. She could tell that if she did, she might be split from Soul.

But, being Maka Albarn, she took a risk anyways.

"Maka! What're you doing?" Soul screamed from his scythe form. Maka didn't listen. She raised her scythe only a few inches from where it was at the same time the men pursuing her pulled back their swords. She lunged forward and sliced a mans throat. One of the three behind her ran to her front, attempting to slice Soul. One of the men behind her grabbed her ankles and jerked her backwards and threw her on the ground.

"Oi!" Black*Star yelled, "Why don't you stop trying to get Maka, and start coming after me. I will surpass God himself, so why go after that puny little thing?"

"Is now really the time to be saying that?!" Soul yelled at the blue haired monkey.

"Tsk." Black*Star took a blow from his back. A man had successfully hit him in the back with the back of the blade.

"Ah!"

"Black*Star!" Tsubaki yelled, her face showing up in the glare of the blade. Black*Star only twisted his body around and sliced three of the men continuously in the chest and face area.

"Told ya, fuckers, I'll surpass God." Black*Star finished them off before running to help Kid.

Maka stood up, her head bleeding from the impact, and gripped onto Soul harder. "I will NOT give up. Especially here."

"Are you nuts blondie?" One of the men said.

"You're just gonna die anyways." The other one stated.

"Or Kaito will make you his slave." The last one smirked.

"Shut up." Maka breathed.

"Huh?"

"I said... Shut up!" Maka sliced one in the chest and another one in the stomach before bringing her blade to face the last one. He stopped the blade with his katana.

Maka's vision became more and more blurry, but she pushed on. When she wasn't looking, the man had grabbed Soul and somehow jerked them apart. Soul transformed back to a human after being tossed around, and raced back to Maka, who was being thrown over the shoulder of the Kishin.

"She's pretty, I don't think she'll die." He smirked at Soul, who was trying to attack him. "Yet."

"MAKA!" Soul screamed, transforming into a weapon in the thrashing Meister's hands. Maka sliced the Kishin in the stomach, cutting the man in half. She kicked off him and landed somewhere near the hole in the hole in the ground. She stepped back a bit to regain her balance, but her footing was off as she fell down the hole with Soul. Soul transformed back into his human form, grabbing Maka and shielding from the impact of the iron platform below.

They hit the platform. Maka's eyes widened when she saw that Soul had protected her.

"Are you alright?" Soul asked. Maka nodded slowly, clinging onto Soul. Noticing this, Soul chuckled a bit.

"Let's move." Soul grabbed Maka's hand, lacing his fingers in with hers. Even with all this shit going on, Soul still made a point to put his girl first. She is, after all, his girl.

Behind the couple, five more thuds could be heard.

"ALL BEHOLD THE ALMIGHTY BLACK*STAR! YOUR GOD HAS ARRIVED BITCHES!" Everyone around Black*Star started to sweat-drop.

"Black*Star." Tsubaki held a finger up to her lips, indicating for the loud-mouthed Meister to shut up.

"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe." Patty started laughing manically, pointing to a group of Kishins with the numbers four, two, and six on their uniforms. "ALL Y'ALL BITCHES GONNA DIE!"

Just that one sentence that a giraffe murderer said gave a laugh in each of their hearts. And even a little hope. Until...

"Men, take the blonde girl with pigtails. Alive." One of the Kishin's had a gold letter "C" on his uniform, with the number one on it.

"Yes sir." And with that, the battle bega-

"I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF THIS SHIT! WHERE THE FUCKING HELL DO YOU ASSHOLES COME FROM?!" Maka lost it.

"Soul, Resonate!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Soul didn't want to lose his head, so he quietly complied with his Meister.

"Let's go, Soul Resonance!" The two screamed, their souls combining and intertwining. Maka's blood began to boil throughout her body, her green eyes narrowed and full of annoyance. It made Soul wonder... 'What would happen if I really pissed her off?"

"I'd kill you too..." Maka spoke, smiling down at her boyfriend. Soul froze. Maka laughed.

"Let's do this... KISHIN HUNTER!" Maka yelled, charging at her opponents, slicing half, but only killing about seven. Maka swung again, hitting more, and still, killing only a few. The injured were slowly dying, but the ones that made direct contact with the blade burned instantly into nothing but ash and only one who wasn't being hit was the Captain. He was standing way fat behind the fight, so he was out of range.

All he did was stand there with his eye mask on, smiling like a idiot. Black*Star and Kid, who were shocked at Maka's outburst, decided to make themselves useful and kill him.

Kid activated Death Cannon and Black*Star went into enchanted sword mode. Black*Star had a field day, slicing him nonstop. Kid stepped in and delivered the final blow with the Death Cannons. Maka finished shortly after, and when the smoke cleared, they saw Kaito Hayashi, clapping his hands in a mock applause.

"Well done. But I'm afraid, Maka still has to come with me." Ten men appeared with guns surrounding them. "Fire."

They all shot at them, injecting them with a sedative. Maka was clinging onto consciousness when the men chained her hands and feet together, preventing her from running. All she could remember before she blacked out was seeing her friends lying on the floor, looking dead.

"No..." Maka managed. "S-Soul... Every- one" She breathed it out before blackness took over her eyesight and mind.

'Is this really where it all ends?'

Soul woke up a few hours later in a fancy room, in a fancy bed, with fancy sheets. When he looked around, he saw that it was lined with six other black beds, only five filled. He shifted out of bed, not even sure if he was supposed to be there. When he looked around again, he noticed that there wasn't a door. Or maybe there was, but he couldn't see it. He looked down at his clothes: He slept in his dirty clothes? Maka is so going to kill him... Wait... 'Maka...'

Soul looked around and suddenly remembered everything. "MAKA!" Soul ran to the other beds, checking to see who they were. But when he looked, they weren't Maka. It was Kid, Liz, Patty, Black*Star and Tsubaki, but no Maka. Given the situation... She could be dead.

Kid woke up and looked at Soul's teary face and dismantled hair. "You're asymmetrical..." Kid deadpanned.

"Who cares about me?! The symmetrical beauty is gone!" Kid jumped out of bed, noticing the same things that Soul noticed. 'What on earth is this?' Kid thought, hoping his mind would bring him an answer it didn't have.

"Please tell me that this is a hotel with no door and Maka found it." Kid looked at Soul.

"I wish!"

"Maka's gone?" Black*Star sat up in bed. "My sister is gone?"

When the three girls heard this, they all sat up as well. Patty hugged Kid, tightly, as they cried together. Liz and Soul clung to each other, tears threatening to come down. Black*Star was pissed while Tsubaki clung to him, trying to keep him in check.

Soul broke down. He didn't even tell her he loved her. He fell in love with her when he took care of her. In the whole time he lived with her, he liked her. But those eight weeks of being there for Maka made him realize that he wanted her. No. He needed her.

"I'll find you Maka... I swear it."

Maka's eyelids felt so heavy. She tried opening them, but they wouldn't. She tried to move her hands, but they were chained. The same with her feet. She finally tried to move her body, but pain shot through it. Her mouth let out a squeak of pain, attempting to warn someone. The only thing that happened was her blindfold was removed.

"I told you, Maka Albarn. You would be mine."
