So here's Chapter 7, the beginning of Operation Death Skull. Enjoy.

Later that day, the SEALs, soldiers, death scythes, and students wait around for the proper time to attack. Spectre looks through his binoculars to see that no one is around.

"We're still clear. Proceed with caution."

"Roger that. Move up." Said Sid, commanding his troops.

"So, Jason, tell me about yourself. What are you exactly?" Spectre asked.

"I'm a weapon; you saw how I could transform my forearms into blades." Jason replied.

"Tell me about your past."

"I was bullied, I got beat up every day. One day, I got mad enough and realized I had this power, including the power of electricity, I killed everyone."

"Hey, I was bullied too, but I didn't take it to an extreme."

Jason sighs. "Sometimes I wish I didn't do those things, they may have been jerks but they didn't deserve to die."

"Did you think that you were a monster?"

"Yeah, I still do to this day. I still don't get what Tsubaki sees in me."

"You must be a nice guy, that's all that counts. You're pretty lucky. Now, I've noticed these students and other death scythes have a partner, why don't you have one?"

"I used to have one. Justin Harrison. He helped me decide to move here in Death City when the murder happened. He was killed by a clone of me."

"Do you miss him?"

"Not all that much. I remembered how he took advantage of me; he basically made me feel stupid."

"That doesn't mean you should hate him."

"I guess you're right, but I don't know."

"You're still a kid, you may be 18, but you're still a kid, you're young. You'll understand soon."

"I guess I will."

Gun shots are heard.

"Sid, this is Spectre, are you guys alright, over?"

"Yeah, they're just coming out. It's time to move up." Sid replied.

"Roger that. All units, this is Commander Jason Shepherd, we're Oscar Mike, proceed with caution." Spectre picks up his SCAR-H. "Come on, Jason."

Jason and the Outlaws come out of their place and proceed to the hideout. They meet up with Section, Harper, Black Star, Maka, and Death the Kid.

"You ready?" Black Star asked.

"Let's do this." Jason replied.

His forearms transform into blades.

"I'm surprised; you're not making a break for it."

"You guys were right; I should take the stealthy approach."

"Good for you. Come on."

The group starts moving up slowly. Mechanics are heard from a distance. Just then, the Castle rises.

"Damn. Is it supposed to do that?!" Omar asked.

"Everybody, get down!" Spectre yelled as everyone ducks for cover as a laser is being shot around them. An explosion is heard around them.

"We should fall back!" Josh yelled.

"No, that's not the mission; we're here to kill Menendez and Asura. Grow a pair and let's go!" Spectre yelled.

Everyone starts running towards the hideout as the laser continues to shoot. Just then, Mercenaries and Golems rise up from the bottom of the hideout.

"What the hell are those things?!" Omar asked.

"They're Golems, be careful!" Maka replied.

Spectre shoots from his grenade launcher attachment and blasts a piece of a Golem's head off and it collapses to the ground.

"Looks like explosives work!"

Jason and Black Star rush up and start clashing away at the mercenaries and Golems. Just when they get finished, they're at the edge of where the castle was originally located.

"How are we going to get in there?" Black Star asked.

"I got an idea!" Omar yells as he gets closer to them. "I'll use my SMAW to destroy the legs. All units, this is Captain Omar Martinez, I request anyone with rocket launchers to the edge of the hide out. Help me take out the legs."

Omar then grabs his SMAW and aims it at a leg and shoots. One of the legs is destroyed, showing that the castle is tipsy but regains balance. Just then, more rocket launchers are shot to the rest of the legs, disabling the building to move any further.

"That was fucking textbook. Hooyah!"

"Nice work, Captain." Said Jason. "Come on, let's go inside."

"Good work, Brogue. We're Oscar Mike!" Spectre yelled.

The teams slide down and enter the hideout.

Meanwhile inside the hideout

"Sir, we have hostiles coming in the base." Said one of the mercenaries. "They've taken out the legs so we can't do any more damage to them."

"Very well." Said Menendez. "Take care of them the old fashioned way."

"Roger that, sir." The mercenary walks out and alerts the others.

"What do we do? They're here to kill us." Said Asura. "I'm afraid."

"Not to worry." Said Menendez as he grabs out his magnum and shoots a nearby witch. The witch's soul is visible. "Eat this."

He gives Asura the soul and he eats it. A black force field appears around Asura. Menendez is pleased.

"These men will know true suffering."

"What is this going to do?" Osborne asked.

"He has eaten a witch's soul. He will grow powerful. If these men martyr me for Cordis Die, this beast will kill them all."

"What about the death scythe, Jason Shepherd?"

"He hasn't seen Asura this way. He will surely die; his worries for him will be no more. Now, make sure these men don't make it towards us."

"Yes sir." Osborne said as he walks out.
