CRONA POV:

I raced back to the base as fast as I could, Ragnarok at my side. He's my black blood sword. His blade can cut through almost anything depending on how you hold him and he's indestructible. I've always had him. He's how I rescued Maka and Soul when Blackstar went missing and they were kidnapped. Secretly, I think Blackstar was impressed, but he's never even hinted at it and likes to be mean and bully me. A lot. But... still... I think he means well... Yet-

"Hey! Slow down!" a voice yelped as I charged into the camp and cut off my line of thinking. Skidding to a halt, I caught my breath as I stared up into the fierce dark blue eyes of Liz, "What's up with you, Crona?"

"Yeah!" Patty poked her head around her big sis' shoulder, her light blue eyes bright, "You look like Liz when she sees ghosts!"

Liz's face immediately deflated and her face paled, "Hey! Ghosts are scary!" She shivered violently as Kid came over with a frown to check out the crowd.

"What are you doing back, Crona?" he looked around, "And where's Blackstar?" At the mention of the blue-haired assassin, Tsubaki looked over from where she was cooking lunch curiously.

"He's battling a trespasser!" I gulped in air and straightened, trying my best to be dignified in front of the ex-prince, "He said to get backup, or he'd kill him!"

Gasps were heard, it'd been so long since anyone'd dared to set foot on this island!

Then, from the sky, Maka dropped to the ground and shook her bangs from her eyes, arms crossed, "And I just bet he will, too!"

Okay... I-I know that's not exactly what he said... but I knew it would get Maka here fastest. Despite her rough attitude and scary disposition, I've noticed she has a softer, girlier side that she doesn't want anyone to see. Not that I'd tell her that. She kick me to outer space, pull me back in, and kick me out again.

"Tsubaki, Crona, come with me! Liz, Patty, guard the camp. Kid-" She turned to him, "Guard the food." Um... yeah... one more thing - Maka takes food supplies VERY seriously. Don't you dare try to sneak a piece without asking. She'll appear out of nowhere and maka-chop you to death.

"Right!"

"Soul, come!" Soul appeared from the shadows at his leaders side silently and we raced off, me leading the way.

MAKA POV:

Crona halted at the edge of the woods and pointed towards where two silhouettes fought on the sand against each other. Red hair and blue hair flapping in the cool windy breeze. Baka. Blackstar would start a fight with someone who was so obviously exhausted. I ground my teeth together, eyebrow twitching. The poor kid was covered in blood. His white shirt tye-dyed in it. Eyebrow twitching in annoyance, I stalked out into the open, my crew trailing behind me. I heard Soul mutter something about Blackstar's 'need to challenge everything non-godly' being un-cool. Yeah... my buddy had a cool-complex. They must have been pretty absorbed in their fight because it wasn't until I stood directly behind them and cleared my throat that they heard me.

"Are you two done yet?"

Blackstar stopped, his katana lowering, as he turned to grin at me, "Not really. Did you need him?"

Normally, this is when I maka-chop him for being cocky, but we had a guest present. I'd deal with him later.

Signaling with one hand for them to stay, my gang hung back as I approached the trespasser confidently. Dare he try anything, my gang knew they had permission to act upon it. Not that I couldn't handle myself, mind you. His eyes were carefully watching my approach. He was smart, I'd give him that. Never trust who you don't know, is what mama always said before she was killed. No! I wouldn't think of it! I stopped in front of him, "Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

My eyebrow raised and I sensed his open hostility that he keeping restrained. Good. My gang felt it and tensed. As long it was contained, "You're a trespasser on my territory. I believe I asked you a question."

"I'm a trespasser on your territory. You just said so." He eyes were mocking me though his face never changed. He was a cocky arsehole.

I kinda liked that, not that I'd let him in on it, "Do you think you're funny, kid?"

He half-smirked at me, his disconcerting wolf-grey eyes dancing in amusement, "I do believe you're the kid here, babe."

I halfway heard Soul's low growl and Blackstar's sneaky snicker as I slammed a huge log down on his unsuspecting head, "You insolent fool!" How dare he make fun of my chest?! IT'S NOT MY FAULT I WAS CURSED TO BE PETITE!

"Ouch!" he yelped and grabbed his head in pain. I turned to walk away when his mutter of curses caught my excellent hearing, "Stupid little hag from h3ll... dumb little b1tc-" A tree appeared in my grasp this time as I slammed it down on him again, knocking him out cold. I kept going, Soul and Tsubaki falling into step beside me like normal.

"Blackstar."

"Yeah, I got it," he picked up the kid and slung him over his shoulder as we headed back to camp.

"Crona."

"Y-yes, Maka?" the purple head looked down at me nervously, he was always scared of me when I maka-chopped someone. As he should be. It keeps everyone in line.

"Make sure Kid ties him up and gags him when we get back." My head faced forward, "I so don't wanna listen to him blabber mouth anyone."

"O-okay!" he said, looking back over his shoulder at the unconscious intruder, his face grim. I figured he didn't like him anymore than I did.

As we neared camp, Soul leaned in close to me, "What should I do then, Maka?"

"Take Liz and go around the Island. Make sure no one else made it ashore and is hiding," I nodded to Liz as I passed the guard duty girl. She had dressed to the occasion too. She wore a saber-tooth tiger skin half-top and short-skirt. Her black snake belt hooked crookedly over her hips with a rare black alligator-scaled ankle boots. Her automatic rifle slung over her chest. Where she comes up with all her different clothes, I don't know. She probably has more clothes than all of us combined. Black berry juice had been applied to under her eyes in two straight lines, "Liz, tell Patty she's guarding on her own for a second because you're going with Soul and Tsubaki will be needed to treat to Blackstar and Carrot-top's idiotic testosterone wounds."

"Hey!" Blackstar protested indignantly as he lugged himself up the last of the hill and let fall our prisoner, "I'm a god! he needed to understand th-" A tree branch suddenly fell on him. Huh. Wonder how that happened, I thought as I replaced my black, white, silver, and red scythe on my back.

Kid was over to us in a second, "Hey, is this him?" He poked Carrot-top's forehead, "Kinda scrawny."

"Yeah..." I said, watching Blackstar's prone body on the ground and counting down the seconds, 3... 2... 1...!

"Ya Hoo! I'm back, baby!" He shouted, pounding the air. One glance at me had his hand grabbing Tsubaki's arm and scrawny boy's shirt as he tugged them off in the direction of the make-shift doctor's wing of the camp, "Come on, you two! Time to fix up my godliness!"

Soul sighed and shook his head, "So not cool..." he muttered. Me, Kid, and Liz nodded. Unaware the slitted eyes watching us. or... more importantly... me.
