Outside, Black*Star was prancing around with Tsubaki watching him with a gentle smile. Maka and Kid were watching too, talking. Soul stood a little farther off, watching the woods.

Maka: I just get this bad feeling whenever I think about it, Kid.

Kid: Try using Soul Perception?

Maka: I have. I can't find her wavelength anywhere. There's been a very similar one close to here all day, but it's not Raina.

Kid: (mumbling) Not Raina...

Maka: (noticing Kid's behavior) You ok, Kid?

Kid: (looks up) Yeah, I just was thinking about my first assumption about Raina. It actually makes sense now.

Maka: (confused) What was it?

Kid: (sighing) I thought that Raina was a witch. I never told you because I knew you would get mad. (has an idea) Maka, find that similar soul again.

Maka: Why?

Kid: Please just trust me.

Maka: Alright.

Maka activates her Soul Perception and looks around for the soul like Raina's. She gasps and opens her eyes. Soul notices and comes over.

Soul: (nonchalantly) You alright, Maka?

Maka:(stuttering) The soul... it's in the forest. But... but...

Kid: What's up, Maka?

Maka: (quietly) The soul is a witch's soul.

Soul: What?

Then Black*Star comes over to them, Tsubaki trailing behind.

Black*Star: Let's go, guys! It's time for my rematch with Raina! She's gonna see how godly I am!

Maka: Black*Star, I-

Maka gives up on saying anything because Black*Star had just run off with Tsubaki following quickly.

Maka: Let's go, Soul. We might need to help him.

Soul: (nodding) Right.

Kid: I'm going to go get Liz and Patty. I'll be there as soon as I can.

Maka: (nodding, pulling Soul along at a run) Alright. Come on, Soul!

Inside the school, Stein is quickly talking to Marie, explaining the situation, and he had called Spirit and was talking to him on the phone as well.

Spirit: Is my Maka alright?

Stein: Right now she is, but against a witch, I don't know. Plus...

Marie: I know she can do it, Stein! (falsely cheerful)

Stein: (shaking his head) I don't know. When this witch took Raina's body... she took Raina's abilities in as her own. Her Soul Perception, her Chi Blocking... everything.

Marie: Even the time stop?

Stein: (shaking his head) No, because that was the witch's to begin with. Raina's soul has been attached with this witch's soul for a long time. It's like a virus, practically feasting off of her energy. But now it's actually eating her soul out. If that happens...

Marie: She'll disappear?

Stein: Yes, and then the witch will win. Her soul is strong, she's going to need help to win this.

Marie: Then let's go!

Stein: (shaking his head) That's not what I meant. (talks into the phone) Spirit, I need you to get to Lord Death quickly and tell him everything. (turns to Marie) Marie, I need to go find Anna.

Marie: Raina's partner? Why?

Stein: (darkened) She's the only one who can save Raina. You should go and watch the kids. If Black*Star defeats her, good, but if not, get involved. I'll be there as soon as I can.

Marie and Spirit: Right!

Kinda short, but the next one's gonna be longer
