To say the frog witch was uncomfortable would be an understatement. She was walking down the cold, dark streets of Death City at night, Lord Death requesting her to accompany Crona on a pre-kishin hunt tonight. Of course, although it was a 'request' Crona saw it as an order since the God of Death could chop her in half without any help of a Death Scythe.
Speaking of which...
Two of Death City's elite were also with the duo as 'insurance'. Right behind Eruka was Spirit Albarn, father of Maka and Lord Death's personal Death Scythe. Spirit, although Stein didn't need it, was here for backup. Meaning: if Eruka got out of line. Eruka feared the red haired weapon almost as much as Stein. The glare he gave her every second of every minute made her to scared to turn and look at the man.

Stein, the Academy's best Meister, was here to record Crona's progress and see if he could handle any real missions. Stein led the way to their destination, Crona right behind him and Eruka behind Crona. She didn't like Stein, fearing the mad scientist greatly, even when he didn't look at her. The ominous aura around her, the way he constantly twisted the screw on his head, even the smoke from his cigarette gave her goosebumps.
"Here we are." Stein said calmly as he stopped. The group had stopped at a corner. Crona and Eruka looked past the corner and saw an obese, pail man with a drooping long tongue, wearing a black robe as he walked down the street, muttering something about eating souls.
"Crona, your goal is to kill the pre-kishin and feed its soul to Ragnarok." Stein told the pink haired boy as he turned t Eruka, "Eruke, your goal is to provide back up when Crona needs it." Crona couldn't help but feel a sort of comfort, when he trained under Medusa, he had to do things himself from the start. He summoned Ragnarok in the form of his sword as the swordsman walked around the corner, charging at the obese man.
"Uh...just curious, but what happens when I need backup?" Eruka asked Stein. Stein didn't answer as he turned to screw on his head casually. Eruka looked at Spirit and received a 'I'll kill you in a second' glare that made her shudder. "Right...I'll be quiet now."
Crona was swinging madly at the pre-kishin, the large man was surprising agile for a behemoth of his size. He shot his tongue at Crona, who avoided the strike and loped his tongue off, the creature screamed as his blood sprayed everywhere. Crona then charged at the pre-kishin, ready to impale it with Ragnarok. It had other ideas though, using his body as a cannonball as he smashed Crona to the wall.
"Come on and get up!" Ragnarok screamed at his partner, "I hardened your blood so nothing would get broken! Don't be ungrateful and kill that bastard!"
"Thank you." Crona said as he charged at the pre-kishin.
"'Thank you, sir'! Get it right!" Crona jumped and brought the sword to the beast's face, the monster screaming in agony as the blade went through the skull and brain, effectively killing it as the monster turned into a red floating orb: a kishin egg.
"N-nice job, Crona." Eruka stuttered as she walked over to the victorious meister. Crona nodded, weakly smiling as Ragnarok disappeared from Crona's hand and appeared on his back and over his shoulder.
"What the hell about me?! He couldn't have done shit without me, ya know?!" demanded the demon blood, make Eruka jump back a bit.
"N-nice work Ragnarok." cheered the frog with as Ragnarok huffed, crossing his puny arms.
"That's more like it, now give me that soul! I'm starving!" Eruka froze, until Crona reached over and grabbed the kishin egg, devouring it in his, suddenly appearing, large mouth. He messily and disgustingly ate it, his drool getting onto the floor as he felt a surge of power go through him. "...I need more."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Eruka screamed as she ran off, "DON'T EAT ME!"
"Wait!" Crona screeched as he chased after the witch, "We're not going to kill you! I can't deal with people running from me!" Stein sighed as he adjusted the screw on his head.
"Lets head back to the academy and report to Lord Death." the teacher suggested, Stein nodding in agreement. They were sure Eruka would be alright...they thought.
