In the dark sands of the death desert, two hooded figures trekked up a steep dune. The one in white murmured something unintelligible to the one in black. "Yes I'm sure the city is this way. Claire was perfectly clear that she sensed a lot of soul activity in this direction." The white hooded figure takes of his hood, revealing a black ski mask covered in a messy representation of a white cracked skull. He again makes a series of grunts that sound like complaining. "Well I'm tired to but that won't stop me from getting to that water now will it?" The one in black takes of his hood to reveal a young face, around the age of 16 with black hair and eyes with vampire fangs. He grimaces and puts a hand to his forehead, scanning the horizon.

"Nothing. Just sand, sand, and more.... hey what the heck is that!?" A dark shape was moving towards them... and fast! "Okay Emile, you distract them, then I'll take out their propulsion system, then...." Max never got to finish for as he turned to look at his masked meister, he saw him disappear into his shadow. "Well thanks for your support of my plan Emile! Now what?!" A hand came out of the shadow and in that hand was a giant silver revolver with an ACOG scope on top. "Oh, so you'll shoot out the propulsion while I distract and we both kill them. Did I get most of that correct?" The hand drops the powerful pistol and gives a thumbs up. There was just one problem.

"Where the hell am I gonna hide! Ya know I can't just take one step back, say abracadabra, then disappear. Got any ideas on where I should go?" He hears a low guttural voice from a giant shadow on the side of the dune "You probem. Not min." "Thanks for the help shadow man. Preciate it." He then puts on a strange black metal helmet in the shape of a skull and taps his heels together. "There's no place like home." He says mockingly as a chain off of a chain saw appears on his feet and legs. He then takes in a dramatic breath then spins underneath the sand, with only the top flat part of is helmet visible.

Souls POV:

"Maka quit rambling on about getting caught. No one even comes out here at night." "That's because we have a curfew of 10, remember Soul?" Maka implies while clutching his waist and riding his bike. "Besides its kinda creepy out here at night." "Creepy deserts haven't stopped me from doing what I want. You of all people should know that." He says smugly. "Of course I know." Maka replies, along with a quick peck on souls cheek. Just then one of the tires on the bike popped. Then the other! It careened out of control into the side of a dune. "I told you it was a bad idea to come out here!" Maka says. They were having a moment just then too.

"We'll be fine. I got sealant in one of the compartments." Soul casually replies. He too is a little up set but doesn't show it. After all cool guys don't freak out. Especially when his meister/girlfriend and him were just having a moment. As he opened a compartment in the back he had a brief flash back to when he asked her out on their first date. "Of course!" She had screamed and hugged him. They went to go see a scary movie together. Apparently they only had one American horror movie called insidious 2. They had watched it with a giant bowl of popcorn that they shared and two sodas. And as Soul expected, when a jumpscare occurred, Maka gripped onto his shirt sleeve and Soul patted her hand to calm her down. After the movie they then went to the nearest restaurant but realized that they didn't bring extra money. So as they walked home, it then started to rain. At the doorstep to their apartment building had been their first kiss (Soul got a tinsy bitsie nose bleed remembering that day and quickly wiped it away. Stay cool. Rigggghhhht.)

He then realized that Maka hadn't said anything in a while. He looked over to where he saw her last but she wasn't there. She was over at the other dune looking at a peculiar small black pile of rocks, with a big flat one in the center.

"Whatcha find?" He calls. "Come over here real quick. I think you should see this." Soul runs over to where Maka is and looks at her open palm. In her hand is a magnum bullet. And it had an impaled piece of rubber on it. Souls tire rubber. "We aren't alone." She says before sand showers down on them and a black figure tackles Soul to the ground.
