Soul "Eater" Evans sat in a strange little room, decorated in mostly red and black, and he was wearing a fancy suit with the same colors.

The only things within this room were a chair, a table, and a record player that played cheesy jazz music that always skips, has been for the past few days since the boy found himself in the room. There was also a door on the far end, but he's yet to get it open, so all he could do was sit down and wait for something, anything to happen.

"Hello again Evans."

And that voice, it had once spooked him before, but the creature who it belongs to visited him so many times now that it just became annoying. It was a deep, sophisticated sounding man's voice, which contrasted with the being's body that was at the moment moving towards him from the curtains.Out from the darkness came a large black, horned creature with white eyes and an unnerving smile.

Soul: What do ya want now? Gonna repeat yourself for the hundredth time?

???: How rude of you, I'm merely trying to help you get ahead in the world. Like I did before, don't you remember that?

Soul: What of it?

???: When that Witch injured you, I made sure you didn't die from the wound by giving you a tiny portion of that special power.

Soul: You mean that "Ozzie Magic" or whatever?

???: 'Oozai', and yes. You would've died if I hadn't transferred my power into your body, especially when you lost consciousness. If you just let me grant you more of it, you'll never have to remember that fear of losing to the likes of Vordaas anymore.

Soul: It's foolish to try and forget fear, DWMA taught me that lesson.

???: Again, you refuse to listen to reason. You haven't been sent to Heaven or Hell yet, you're still on Earth. The only way to survive in this world long enough is through power, and you lack the right kind of power to get past these new obstacles.

Soul: ...

???: But it's alright, you'll soon understand why you need the Oozai's magic. For now, it's time to go.

The sound of a lock was heard.

???: The door is now open, you can leave this place and return to your friends. We'll talk again later, until then, farewell...

With that "Black Zai" vanished into the darkness. "Hmph, whatever weirdo.", Evans said as he opened the door and stepped out. But instead of another room, he fell into a pitch black void, with a faint light at the very bottom. The voice of his partner within this pit was almost deafening, he could only make out pained groans and shrill screams until he finally reached the light, although it brought only the worst image he could ever imagine.

His entire upper body was somehow fused onto Maka's abdomen, her expression that of pure agony, and at that point Soul couldn't help but join in with the unending screaming, until everyone abruptly stopped. A dream, it was all a dream. He found himself in the school's doctors office, with a being similar in appearance to the creature in his dream, although with a cyan hue and an outfit befitting a mad scientist who sat in front of the bed reading something off a clipboard.

Soul: Wh-Who the heck are you??

Proton: Hm? Oh, you finally woke up, took longer than expected. I'm Proton, a new staff member and part of the new branch this school made several days ago, it's a tad bit of a long story so I won't bother going through all the details.

Soul: Wait, a-are you a-

Proton: An Oozai? Yeah, that's me. And get used to it, you're gonna be seeing a lot of them from now on. The new branch has nothing but Oozai in it because of what happened back in that church.

Soul: Oh, right. I remember the Witch, and that other person with them. But how did you know what was happening?

Riivrax: That was me actually.

Riivrax had entered the room, along with Maka and Zacharie coming in last. The Scythe Meister rushed to Soul's bedside, spooking the boy a tad.

Maka: Soul I'm so sorry you got hurt! I didn't know what to do, I was just really scared and-

Soul: Hey, hey! Calm down, I'm fine now, right? Don't go blaming yourself, that wasn't your faith or nothing anyway!

Riivrax: My name is Riivrax, I'm the Oozai who helped you and your friend against that Witch. But the person you should really be thanking is Zach, he's the one who healed your wounds.

Zacharie: That's right, it wasn't easy either, had to repair alot of nerve damage, you're pretty damn lucky if you ask me.

Soul: Huh. So, you three guys are all "Oozai", ya definitely look otherworldly.

Riivrax: Correct, our homeland exists separate from this one.

Proton: Anyway, you should be able to go home now, just tell me or that other doctor if anything else happens.

Soul: Already? Well, if you say so I guess...

(Meanwhile: Fen's Base)

Fen, Eternal, Baku and three figures in black robes were gathered in a large chamber around a stone table, with a small diorama of Death City sitting in the middle.

Fen: You all know why I've brought you here today. The hour is soon at hand, the Kishin will soon return. Because of this, I personally assembled this team to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Baku.

Baku: Right. I have succeeded in locating the Kishin after months of secret exploration within DWMA, deep in an underground chamber. However, if we were to try rushing in now it would only end in failure, especially with the Oozai Kingdom around.

Eternal: So what's the new strategy? I'm not exactly the stealthy individual.

Baku: I've seen that... But I already have a backup plan for this situation, by using this.

He placed a blue, rolled up piece of paper on the table, unrolling it to reveal a number of marking and symbols in purple ink.

Baku: The academy is holding an annual party in three weeks, at this time everyone will be in one spot, even the Shinigami Death will be attending this event. That is when I'll use this summoning scroll to contain them long enough to complete our mission, but I'll need the combined power of you, Fen. I lack enough energy on my own to use this spell.

Fen: That's fine, as long as it works. But I have a strong feeling that Zacharie and his own forces will be expecting us, so we'll have the entirety of the Insectoids and you three distract them.

Eternal: Speaking of which, who're these guys anyway? They hadn't said a damn word this whole time, and frankly it's creeping me out!

Fen: Just some new recruits, all from my homeland.

The three figures revealed themselves, the first being a tall, thin pink Oozai with wide eyes and a picture of a skull on his chest.

Yolmah: I am Yolmah, and I specialize in stealth missions. And these are my comrades, Strunmah, a cyberneticaly enhanced Oozai.

Yolmah: And Sendaar, a Puppeteer-Oozai.

Eternal: More 'zais huh? You're really serious about getting this guy. So what's my job?

Fen: You'll be partnered with Baku from now on, tasked with retrieving the Kishin himself. With your immortal body it should be easy. Speaking of which, Evans, the Scythe Weapon, has fully recovered from his fight with Vordaas, you'll face him and Albarn alone tomorrow. Be sure you have the False Heart.

Eternal: Alrighty!

Baku: Uh, may I ask why you're choosing...him, of all people. He nearly shot Honaat when you had him released.

Fen: I saw your fight with that blue haired Tech, it's obvious you need a partner as well to use all of your powers to their fullest. Not to mention that all of your previous partners couldn't handle your Soul Wavelength and their bodies were destroyed, Eternal is the perfect remedy for that issue.

Baku: If you insist...

Fen: Good. With all of that out of the way, this meeting is adjourned, you may go and prepare for the big day however you wish.

Everyone: Yes, Lord Fen!

The group left through a tunnel in the chamber, leaving Fen by himself...that is, until the black Demon emerged from his back.

Fen: What is it now, Ragnarok?

Ragnarok: What's up with you and that Scythe Tech, you're sending that immortal guy to test stuff specifically on her. You never did anything like this before, especially give someone that other thing..

Fen: Why her? Ragnarok, you could see her soul too, right? Albarn isn't like the other Meisters in DWMA, that's why I'm entrusting such power with her, we both know she has the willpower to control it.

Ragnarok: Then why's it in the Scythe boy then?

Fen: Vordaas was careless, she had no proper skill in that fight, and couldn't prevent that accident. But it's fine, as long as they can still sync their wavelengths properly, the experiment won't be in danger of failing. I've taken so many risks in my life to have it fail either way. I know everything will be fine. Now all that's left is the other half.. The other half of his soul to give him later...
