Ella's P.O.V:
I awoke in a pool of my own sweat. "Oh, good. You're awake." A woman said, sending chills down my spine.
"You were my pride and joy..."
"If you love something, let it go..."
"Why don't I show you what's going on with your friends...?"
The woman in my dreams.
I froze, clenching my fists. "Who the fuck are you? And what the hell were you doing in my dreams?" I screamed, trying to hide my fear.
The woman chuckled. "My, my. You've got quite the mouth for such a scared little girl."
I grit my teeth and took a deep breath. "I'm not a little girl. And I sure as fucking hell am not scared. If you're so brave, show yourself!"
Suddenly, a door opened, and a womanly figure stood in the light.
"Hello, I'm Medusa."

Kid's P.O.V:
I sat next to Soul on the curb, who had his knees pulled up to his chest. I squeezed his shoulder reassuringly. "Hey, it'll be okay. We're going to find her-" "if it's the last thing we do!" Patty finished, sticking her finger triumphantly in the air.
I nodded in agreement. Soul then looked at me, his eyes glassy from holding back tears. I got up, extending my hand to help him off the ground.
He sighed, taking my hand. I pulled him up, pulling him into a brotherly hug. Patty giggled and grabbed us, pulling us into the mansion. "Come on! Let's get everyone and go go go!"
We stepped into the mansion, seeing Tsubaki on the ground, bleeding. Black Star held her head on his lap. "Come on, Tsubaki... I'm supposed to turn you into a death scythe! And you're supposed to clap for me when I surpass the power of the gods!"
Tsubaki's eyes fluttered open. She smiled warmly, muttering, "Black... Star...?" He nodded and smiled widely. "Now that she's awake, we can go and find Ella." Black Star said, smiling as Tsubaki nodded in agreement.
"Tsubaki... Are you sure you can carry on in your condition?" Tsubaki coughed, and nodded feebly. "Y-yeah, I can do this. For Soul and Ella."
Everyone began to change into clothes. As we began to leave, I took a look at the house. "No, Kid stop." I thought, shaking my head. I couldn't let my neurotic tendencies get in the way of saving someone's life.
"I need to tell my father what we're up to..." I said, picking up a shard of glass. "42-42-564..." I murmured, rubbing my finger against the shard. I had completely forgotten that I could just summon a viewing screen using my fingers.
My father's image then began to appear in the glass. "Hello, hello! What can I do ya?" dad asked. I gulped and told him about what happened, down to the last detail. He scratched his head, still processing the event.
"Hmm... I see you've gotten into quite a pickle!" He admitted, nodding. "Well, I'll send Mrs. Marie and Stein, don't bother waiting up for them, Stein can sense your soul wavelengths from practically anywhere!" I nodded, and bid him farewell.
I turned to the group and pursed my lips for a split second. "Stein and Mrs. Marie are going to meet us up." everyone nodded, and we all began walking towards where we saw Ella last.

Soul's P.O.V:
I led the group along with Kid, desperately trying to keep my cool. "Ella... I'm coming." I thought to myself, burying any thought I had towards Maka deep within the layers of my soul.
