The partnership of weapon and meister rises the bondage between partners with Zerom and Excalibur tightens. Excalibur is pleased he found the right meister to be by his side and time to time Zerom and Excalibur tell stories about their lives but not because of the rule but because they wanted to. Not only is Zerom's power is growing but his skills are to and he even discovered a way to manifest his soul to become channels within bodies. Zerom have been assigned a top secret mission from Death to infiltrate a witch's meeting and to get Intel from them and to kill or run away if necessary but he couldn't tell anyone about his mission not even Tsubaki.

But when Zerom exited and turned around he immediately saw Tsubaki waiting for him they both greeted each other and hugged and Tsubaki looked up and could see that in Zerom's eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty. But before Zerom could speak Tsubaki said with worry

"Zerom what's up wrong?"

Zerom started to walk past Tsubaki and says

"Nothing I'm just in a hurry and I need to pick up a package for Lord Death"

But before he could walk any further he is stopped by the grasp of Tsubaki's hand. Tsubaki looks down.

"Zerom, I don't know why you're lying to me or why you don't trust me but remember there's people who care about you…I care about you and I hate it when I don't know where you are or if you are even in one peace so please…Come back to us safe!" Tsubaki cried.

Tsubaki lets loose of her grip and Zerom could see that tears were trickling down her face and nodded and said

"I'm sorry… I promise I'll come back in one piece" he said as they hugged for the longest time before separating.

After Zerom waved Tsubaki goodbye Zerom met Excalibur in the hallway saying

"You ready?"

Excalibur nodded and then they were on the move. Leaving the academy Zerom and Excalibur found themselves in suspense and fear.

"We might not make it out alive, are you sure you want to go through this?" Excalibur predicted.

"Well I don't really have a choice not to protect Tsubaki and the academy but besides if we don't come back alive it was nice being your meister" Zerom said chuckling.

"It was an honor working with you Zerom" Excalibur said

And then they were off. Zerom and Excalibur arrived at the witches and sneaked their way to the roof and took out the guards without being noticed but suddenly the floor beneath Zerom clasped and they hit the floor as concrete and dust fill the room.

Coughing and wheezing Zerom slowly recovers and arises with Excalibur saying to be on guard and prepared and Zerom agreed to that this wasn't any normal cave in but a trap none the less. Zerom started to see figures appearing within the dust and shortly after realizing that he was absolutely surrounded by witch's and were all locked on Zerom and ready to kill. Zerom recovering his balance and readied Excalibur but he heard what it seemed as the head witch's voice shrieking

"Foolish boy you felled right into my trap and we knew you were here all along and now you'll die!"

Zerom just stood there like if he was a mitting defeat when he suddenly spoke

"Well it sure seems like it but since I'm here and don't want to come all this way for nothing so do you mind telling me your plan before you obliterate me in a million pieces since there's no way I'm going to survive this."

"I'll tell you the plan because your fate is in utter demise so your request is granted, my plan is to I will scour the Earth for power and even will stop by your precise academy!" The head witch boasted.

After hearing those words Zerom froze and stood there and the witch gloated by saying how he was frozen by fear but Zerom just whispered

"…You're all the same…"

Then the witched asked in confusion what did he mean by that but he just repeated the same thing. Zerom looked upped and screamed

"…You're all the same, you and everybody else who thirst for power!"
