They open a door and down leads a pathway. They walk down the pathway.

maka: shibusen sure have convenient door portals.

kid: I heard from father that these portals are made by witches.

tsubaki:eh...I didn't know that.

maka: so...what does this Pandora box do?

red: revive someone dead or take away someone's soul.The worst it can do is...let go of the thousands of kishin eggs demon it has inside.

tsubaki: that's dangerous!!!

kid: it is a disaster.

liz: duh...

patty: hehe.It would be fun!!

liz: don't say that kind of thing patty!!!

black star: fear not. Ore-sama wil destroy them all.Hahaha...

-_- llll .............

maka: is there any conditions to open it?

soul: a wish granted and a disaster srt to others. That's really evil nah.

red: anyone can open it.After you unlock the barriers, all you need is a witch full of desire and a large amount of power to open the gates of Pandora box. The box does whatever the opener wants.

maka: I see.Eh... How come you know so much?

red: I...have part of the key.

kid: what!! Where is it?

red: with shinigami sama.

kid: that should be safe.

They reach another door and open it They have reached the city of burle. They look around for a building with a crescent moon sign.

black star: I found it!!! Hahaha... how is ore-sama greatness?

*sweatdrops*  ............

red: its just right in front of us.

maka: what you found it.

red: its just there.

kid: lets go in.

They reach the door and sees a pattern on the door.

kid:this must be the spell father was talking about.

blue: than lets go in already!!!

kid:wait!!

Blue opens the door and walks in.

kid:eh...she's not hurt.

red: looks like its not that kind of spell.

'yokoso (welcome) to ny humble bookshop. I am the shopowner. Berry. majo(witch). *smiles*'

maka: looks like the spell revealed that they're weapons. soul transform.

They all transform into their weapons and got into their meister's hands.But for some reason they can't

berry:this is my precious collection of books.I don't allow you to destroy it . Didn't shinigami sama tell you? No weapons allowed.

red: there's a spell beneath here.

kid: you knew we were coming?

berry: correct. I expect people to my bookstore everyday.Especially those who made appointments with me.

black star: watch ore-sama...

*slam* The books flew and slammed black star to the wall.

berry: listen when I'm done . Don't go stealing my spotlight.

-_- *sweatdrops* ........

soul: ooi...another one...

tsubaki:hehe.

black star: you bwastwad!!!Lwet me gwo!!!

The books squished his face even more.

berry:urusei.(shut up)

-_- *sweatdrops* ........

berry: now...where was I? Right... appointments . Let's see let's see.

A book flew from one of the cupboards and into her hand.The book flipped open by itself.

berry: there.There. You guys are those kids. Shinigami sama special group. *smiles* We only have 2 hours to play. I have another group of shibusen to play with later.

black star: you...!!!

Black star pushed away the books and appeared right beside berry ready to give her a soulforce whack when another whole bunch of books flew towards black star.

So big a bunch it flooded black star out of the bookstore through the window.

berry: if you want a fight.Do it outside.

All the books floated.

soul: oh shit.

liz: shitty shit.

patty: what's wrong onee-chan?

The books flooded them out of the bookstore.

berry: sole library.

A spell circle appeared below on their ground and bookshelfs pops out from the ground. Rows and rows formed a cirlcle.

berry: question 1; why are you here?

maka: we're here to collect a paper that doesn't burn.

berry:eh...than you're not here for practice than.Okay....wait. Telephone!!!

A book floats out and flips open and a phone pops out from the book.

*takes up phone and makes a call*

black star: ore-sama!!!

Black star jumps in.

*zap!!!* Lightning comes out from the book and strucks the book by the back.

black star: you...!!!

*zap*

black star chases book.

*zap*

black star: ore-sama will not give up!!!

*zap!!*

-_- lll ......

red: what is he doing?

maka: I feel bad for tsubaki.

berry: I asked shinigami sama. It seems that its true.

black star:*sitting on the book* ooohhh. Of course.ore-sama...

Berry: *anime veins**snaps finger*

The book releases lightning.

Black star: ore-sama...*thumbs up* *collapses*

berry: don't steal my light!!!Ahem.  Library maze.

The shelves rearrange themselves again.

berry: I love books.I hid it in one of these shelves . Two things. Find the paper.Two, get out.Its a maze. There is an exit. But if you're desperate you can always cut a hole.It might or might not work.

kid: wait!!! if you know why we're here why are you playing with us!!! Just hand it over.

berry: *face blacken* kozo (literally calling him kid.Not name.) I don't hand things over that easily. If this thing gets lost.Do you know how serious that is? You may send 5 third star meisters but if they aren't worthy.Than they will die here.

Black star: ore-sama...don't underestimate!!

soul: what he said.

berry: oh...what confidence. If you can't handle here, you're as dead as you step out with that paper.The witches will kill you. Good luck.

She sinks down to the ground and disappears.

blue: with no hint...how to even find?

Black star: watch ore-sama!!!

All eyes look up and sees him standing on  top of the shelf.

back star: come out!!! come out! !! come out!!!

        -_-     .................

liz: is he an idiot?

tsubaki: heh heh....

' a little hint. Wara wa tamashi.Wara wa hitotsu. Wara wa chishiki.' the voice ehoed.

tamashi-soul

hitotsu-one

chishiki-knowledge

wara means we

kid:wara would imply many.

maka: they are souls.Maybe I can try seeing them.

Maka close her eyes and concentrates.

maka: over there. 3 rows behind.

The run around the shelves and reach where maka said it was.The whole shelf was filled with books and all of the skin were red in color.

patty: 1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3...

kid: looks like all the books are in this sequence.

patty:1,2,4

red:4? Take that book down.

black star: okay.Leave it to me.

Tsubaki turned into a kusarigama (chain scythe) weapon and part of it hooked onto the book and cause the book to topple over.

Maka catches the book and opens it . Nothing happens. Its just blank pages.

soul: maybe its not this book.

Maka tries to see where that soul is again and it is the book in her hands.

Suddenly writings appear on the book.

'congratulations. You have spotted me. You are allowed to ask me one question by writing on me.'

maka: any question?

'yes.'

black star: I know!!! We can ask where's the other souls.

' that's many questions. Once you have thought of one.Write on me with blood.'

kid:1...2...4... 3 is missing. Maybe volume 3 is where the next soul is.

Black star: isn't that almost the same question?Tsk.No difference.

soul: than lets try that.

Soul uses his own blade and cut hinself and wrote onto the book.

where is the missing volume 3?

' I am near yet far.'

black star: *throws* what kind of an answer is that?!!!

kid: riddle game huh.

red goes over to pick it up and the pages flip by itself.

' I am a unified colour.'

red pov:

could it be...?

I ran through the shelves. There it is.

red: I found the answer!!!

Everyone gathered around the shelve.It was full of books with skin that are yellow.

red: I am near yet far. Books.Far, not near that shelf.I am a unified color . Probably the same as that red books shelf just a different colour.

liz: but which one? This one has no hint.

blue: so...in the end we have to search book by book?

tsubaki: well...we have to give it a try.

blue: how troublesome!!! *pulls out a random book*

Suddenly all the books fly out ad if attacking them.The books opened and arranged like a wall.The contents were empty.

black star: huh...its empty.

The red book floated out from red's hands and the pages flew out sticking itself to each of the yellow books.

A spell circle appeared and a monster appeared.

black star:its....its...big!!!

The monster had a long tail and looked like a dinosaur. All the weapons transformed and they were ready for a battle.

Blue was a pair of gloves that worn red's hands. The gloves had slots one on each side of the top of them.There were chains connected to a ring on red's neck which connected the gloves.

Blue is a weapon that could allow her meister to draw blades out of the slots.How long depends on how much soul wavelength the meister puts in.

Maka ran forward and sliced the dinosaur's tail catching its attention. The dinosaur screamed and with a glow it shrank and multiplied into 2.

maka:what!!!

black star: watch me!!!

Tsubaki transformed into a shuriken and black star threw her towards the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs cut into half and shrank and multiplied again into 4.

One dinosaur was angry and it spitted fire.Kid dodged and it burned the whole shelf down.

kid: tsk. This is troublesome. Its small but the power doesn't decrease.

The dinosaurs started to spit fire all around and they all had to jump onto on top of the shelves.

red: can't slice. Shooting shouldn't do much unless we can turn it to total dust.

liz: can't we put it back into the back or something?

red: that's it!!! where's the damn books?

The books was all the way at the end of the room.

red: I'll go for it.

kid: be careful.

red: ah.

I ran towards jumping from shelf to shelf to the other end of the room while a dinosaur chased for me.

blue: nee-chan.Leave me here . I'll distract it.

red: you sure?

blue: trust me.

red: okay than.

I reached the red and yellow books.

The title wrote 'guess who am I?' Than it changed again. ' I will open if you guess correct. ' Than it changed again.

red: don't shit me!!!

berry pov:

I was watching from the cameras.

-_- llll

She...kicked the book and than stepped the book.

Oooiiii it actually opened!!! Who gave you permission to open?!!!

All the dinosaurs go back to the book.

________________________________

kid pov:

She appeared again.

berry: damn it. This is just plain bullying.Especially red.She just stepped on my books!!!

soul: you lost. Where's the paper?

berry: here.Tsk. Don't get killed.
