"I was told abaasys are one of the more intelligent breeds...guess they were wrong..." Soul growled. The chains pinned his hands behind his back and latched him to the cold stone wall.
"Where is Maka?"
The clown grinned,
"You fell for a foolish trick..."
"Where is Maka?"
The tape was thrown at his feet, the recording of Makas yells that lured him.
"How would you know I haven't already gobbled her up?"
Soul felt his heart shudder at the thought,
"She's here. Where. is. Maka?"
---
"Maka..."
Maka whimpered.
"Now now dear, someone as smart as you...shouldn't be so surprised." She glared defiantly at the voices owner.
"It's true I may have... mislead you "
The figure sneered,
"It must be hard to run this sort of thing on your own." His chuckle echoed the dark cell.
"We-we will stop you! Both organizations!" The Phoenix was weak but glared defiantly at the man.
This made his blue eyes flash with humor,
"Oh? How's that when all your classmates are here?" Maka eyes widened,
"Soul? No he would never-"
"Blindly follow your voice?" More laughter,
"That is a daily occurrence."
Maka growled,
"We will stop you! It doesn't matter if you capture a few students! We will stop you," The dark figure grinned, "Justin Law."

Asura smiled once again at the screens. All the screens focused on the students held up in the cells. Their chains slowly draining their magic and power.
"Arachne, dear, are you positive the top monster-hunter went on vacation? He isn't aware of our plans?"
Arachne smiled,
"No my love, he is out of the picture. The hunters are now under my rule. Even so, we are hunting monsters are we not?"
Asura found this humorous.
"This plan has taken many years and its all thanks to you."
Arachne shook her head,
"No, I needed a training facility for my soldiers. This school and its students fit the bill perfectly."
---
"I bet this was a surprise wasn't it?"
The clown was nose to nose with Soul.
"Finding out that all the monster hunters were in fact monsters themselves...from your rival school no less, "he cackled."pretty hypocritical if you ask me."
The abaasy snarled and tried to chomp his big red nose off.
The clown merely laughed,
"I hope your ready, our plan is nearly complete and life as you know it will cease to exist."
