"For punishment for destroying the Pyramid of Anubis, all of the souls you've collected will be confiscated." Lord Death said.

Everyone flinched at this, looking down with frowns.

"Even if it was just kid that destroyed the pyramid, the damage is something you must all share the blame as a team." Lord Death explained. "But, you still managed to stop a great evil from awakening, so you do deserve some credit."

"Thank you, father, but I wish I didn't destroy the pyramid." Kid said, still feeling shame for what he did.

"Well, I supposed that is just a family trait." Lord Death said, "When I was younger I destroyed my fair share of buildings."

"Really? How many?" Black Star asked.

"I'd rather not say." Death said, waving his hand. "Now, those kishin souls you all ate."

"Yeah, yeah, just give us a sec." Soul said as he turned around and stuck his finger in his mouth.

"Ugh, I can't watch." Maka said, turning away.

Maka didn't think that losing kishin souls like this would be like throwing up your lunch.

'At least there's no smell.' Maka thought before hearing Soul throwing up 12 kishin soul eggs from the mission.

"There. Your turn, Tsubaki." Soul said, wiping his lips.

Tsubaki nodded.

"Please everyone look away." She said, turning around.

They didn't need to be told twice as everyone looked away from Tsubaki.

Just like when she ate them, Tsubaki silently began blowing out the kishin soul eggs like they were bubbles to the floor. It wasn't THAT embarrassing but it was still something she didn't want people to see. It was kind of cute honestly.

A full minute passed before Tsubaki finished and wiped her lips clean.

"Alright, I'm done." Tsubaki said, moving away from the 12 kishin souls she earned/lost.

"Now all that's left are the Thompson sisters." Lord Death said turning to his son's weapon partners.

"Ugh, I hate doing this." Liz said with a groan.

"Yeah, it feels too weird even for me." Patty said with a whine.

They removed the Kishin souls the same way they consumed them but in reverse, turning into guns and constantly pulling back the chamber to "pop out bullet shells" aka kishin eggs.

It was an annoying thing to do.

"There you got, 48 kishin souls." Liz said as Patty turned back to normal.

"49 counting this." Kid said, dropping the pharaoh's kishin soul.

'He must've kept it because it wouldn't have been symmetrical.' Lord Death thought.

"Thank you." Lord Deaths said, nodding. "Other than that, how well did you all fare working together?"

Death the Kid flinched a bit with a straight face, knowing he "kind of" abandoned the mission for a personal matter before returning to finish off the pharaoh.

"If I can say something, I think it went well." Liz said, gaining Death's attention. "Maka and Black Star were able to use my sister and I rather well. Not just because we can match their soul wavelengths easily but they do know how to shoot."

"Interesting, I had no idea that they were able to use guns efficiently." Lord Death said.

"Maka, yes, but Black Star just seemed to be firing randomly." Liz said, pointing to the ninja.
