Shinigami discusses the origin of the Kishin Asura along with Sid and everyone else, as the group underground is intercepted by Medusa. She will not let them pass that easily, and deploys one of her techniques, the Vector Arrow. However, it will not prove enough, as everyone goes through, except Stein, who stays behind to fight the witch. Death the Kid quickly goes through Crona, but Black Star is ready to fight as he reaches it. However, a determined Maka convinces him to let her take his place.
