Maka is confused due to the decisions recently taken by the DWMA, which is preparing for a huge battle against Arachnophobia, to defeat it along with Asura and destroying the six madness amplifiers. Sid later informs Maka that Crona and Marie have set off to defeat Medusa, stating that Crona's exile and Marie quitting her job acts as a loophole in the deal between Medusa and Lord Death. When the mission begins, Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, and Sid press onto Baba Yaga's Castle but are ambushed by Arachne's forces. Meanwhile, Justin starts a fight against Giriko. After Soul convinces Maka to follow her convictions, she leaves Black Star to go after Crona. Meanwhile, Kid is on the way to retrieve the latest magic tool.
