Welcome back Night Raid Assassin's I hope you all are enjoying yourselves let's get into Chapter 2!

Chapter 2

A few days passed and in that time Lubbock's barriers were breached meaning someone's gotten close enough to find Night Raids base. So The Boss had the group charge out into the forest in order to kill the tribal assassin's who found their base. Dante gripped his sword's handle as he ran on one side of the trail while the others separated. Dante was alone and running through the forests before sliding to a stop as he looked around silently waiting. He could hear movement in the trees as his breathing slowed when suddenly three tribal assassin's had come out of hiding. They all looked to strike at once but, Dante had quickly drawn his blade as he blocked two of the tribal blades. The third he blocked with his metal arm as he jumped up spinning around slashing a tribal assassin across the throat.

"My arm is going to need repairs soon..but, right now I need to focus." Dante caught one tribal assassin's arm and broke it by kneeing his elbow upwards.

Dante heard him scream before stabbing the assassin through the mouth as his blade came out the back of his head. The last assassin kicked Dante in the gut knocking him down and tried to stab him but, Dante dodged as the assassin charged him.

"Now you die boy!" The assassin thrusted his blade forward looking to stab Dante through the heart.

Dante spun around him wrapping his left arm around the assassin's throat as a blade suddenly pierced the back of the tribal assassins neck. The blade pierced the assassin's throat coming out the other side as blood dripped from the blade. Dante slowly pulled his arm back as he dropped the now dead tribal assassin's body.

The blade retracted into his arms wrist as he walked over pulling his blade from the other assassin's body. "It's done." Dante sheathed his sword walking away.

The next day came and Dante stood outside the main room of the base as he had been leaning against the wall arms crossed.

Sheele walked towards Dante wiping her eyes. "Morning Dante. What are you doing?"

Dante opened his eyes and looked at Sheele. "Oh hey Sheele. I'm just waiting on Mine to get up so we can do some training but, she's taking forever."

Sheele looked at Dante apologetically. "Oh Mine has a bad habit of sleeping in late."

Dante gaped out of shock. "What? This is her job though!"

Sheele had opened the door before turning around. "I'll go wake her up."

"No. Let Dante do it." The Boss walked over to them. "As her subordinate its an assassin's job to wake up their superior."

Dante groaned in annoyance before walking away. "Fine."

Sheele was confused hearing that for the first time. "I didn't know we had that rule."

The Boss chuckled. "Consider this another test."

Dante walked down the hall finally reaching Mines room. "Come on Mine are you gonna sleep all day or are you gonna." Dante walked in opening the door as he saw Mine in nothing but, her bra and panties.

The two stood silent for only a moment until a blood curdling scream could be heard around the base along with a loud shot of gun fire.

Dante was now on his ass against the wall next to a massive hole in the wall where Mine tried to shoot him. "What the hell you trying to shoot me for!?"

"Ugh! You filthy pervert! How dare you dodge when you know you deserve to die!" Mine was clearly angry over what Dante walking in on her.

Dante shot right up glaring at her. "It's not my fault! If you didn't spend all day getting ready I wouldn't have been told to come get...you…."

Mine was powering up another shot from her weapon 'pumpkin' as she glared at him. "Apparently you never heard of knocking!"

Mine started shooting as Dante's scream could be heard all over the base as could Mines gunfire which means Dante is going to have a rough day. After finally calming down...enough...Dante and Mine walked through the streets of the Capital City.

Dante looked around getting a better look. "Man..I never noticed it before..everyone looks absolutely miserable."

"Hey pervert! Hurry up!" Mine's yelling pulled Dante out of his thoughts making him sigh as he walked behind her.

"Hey Mine. Don't these people look miserable to you?"

"Everyone is scared of the government and the economy sucks. Everyone's at rock bottom or on their way down."

Dante looked down slightly. "I guess I can't blame them." Dante then noticed two guys picking on a kid in an alley so he walked into it catching their attention. "Hey leave the kid alone."

"Shouldn't you guys be picking on someone your own size." Mine walked up just past Dante.

"You gonna do something about it?"

"It's fine. This kids a refugee from out of the country who knows she could be a spy."

"So could I." Mine's proclaim caught the two thugs off guard. "Dante."

"Right." Dante stepped forward and with a quick draw of his sword the thugs pants fell which made them not only embarrassed but, scared so they tucked their tails and ran.

The kid stood up and looked at them. "Um..thank you for saving me."

Mine didn't even look back. "Don't thank me. Just do whatever you can to get stronger so you can protect yourself."

Dante and Mine continued to walk which Dante then realized something. "Hey Mine is it alright for us to be walking around in the open?"

"Of course. They only identified four of us so far." Mine pointed to some wanted posters showing who's been identified.

Dante looked at them quickly noticing the one in the middle since he didn't recognize the guy. "Hey who's the guy in the middle?"

Mine looked at it. "That's Bulat."

"Oh Bulat." Dante then realized it. "Tha-!? That's bro!?"

"That image is back in his army days. He changed his look when he joined Night Raid."

Dante soon saw Bulat's current look winking at him as two stars hit his forehead. "Oh great another image to haunt my dreams.."

"The Boss gave us this mission because, we can walk around freely get it?"

Dante turned to Mine nodding. "Alright. What's first?"

Mine took Dante through town to different shops going on a shopping spree making Dante carry everything. Dante then realized that they weren't even training they were just going around shopping which annoyed Dante greatly.

As they walked Dante looked to a shop. "Hey Mine..think we can stop here for a minute."

Mine looked back at him confused. "Why?"

"Just need to see if an old friend made it here." Dante walked into the seemingly random shop as he placed the other things Mine had him carry to the side.

A elderly man stood behind a counter as he was scrubbing metal components for prosthetics and once he heard the door he turned around. "Oh welcome to my shop. How may I be of service to you?"

Dante walked up with a smile. "It's good to see you again old man."

The man took a second before smiling. "Ah Dante my boy I'm glad to see your alive and well." He then noticed Mine. "Who's your friend there?"

"She's from a group of travelers I met recently. We stopped in the city to get somethings." Dante wasn't about to tell the truth now.

"Ah well at least you're doing well. What can I do for ya?"

Dante pulled of his cloak showing his arm and pointed at it. "I was hoping if you could take a look at it."

Mine looked now getting to see Dante's right arm for herself. "I wonder what happened for his arm to be replaced."

The old man grabbed his glasses. "Have a seat and I'll take a look." Dante walked over to a chair sitting down as the old man began examining his arm. "Well I see you've gotten into trouble by the looks of these scratches." The old man had Dante extend both his arms. "Ah your arms are uneven as well. I can make a few adjustments to them."

Dante smiled. "Thank you."

The old man then detached Dante's arm as he winced from the nerves being disconnected as the man began to make the proper adjustments. In the meantime Mine was looking around the shop seeing all kinds of metals and prosthetic displays.

The man was finished in a short amount of time as he wheeled himself back towards Dante. "Now I just have to reconnect the nerves. Are you ready?"

Dante took a deep breath since he hated this part. "Yeah I'm ready."

"Three...two…" The old man soon twisted the socket wrench making Dante wince and tense up in extreme pain. "Done. You shouldn't need any adjustments for awhile."

Dante gripped his hand a few times moving it around making sure he's good to go. "Feels great. Thanks."

The old man smiled. "Please make sure you take care of yourself so an old man doesn't have to worry about his own grandson."

Dante smiled as he stood up. "I will. Thanks again." With that Dante and Mine left the shop as people were walking by heading to see something. "What's going on?"

"It's another execution. The Minister supports these kinds of cruel actions. He placed the child emperor on throne so he could be in control." Mine looked at the people hanging on cross like stands who were beaten and starved. "I won't let it happen to me. One way or another I will survive this hell."

Dante gripped his sword tightly. "The Minister is a demon that must be destroyed. I'll make sure of it. Watchout Minister. I'm coming. For you."

By the time Mine and Dante got back to base they had an assignment waiting that required all of them to move into the night. Their target was a close relative of the Minister named Iokal his crimes consisted of kidnapping and beating women to death. His five bodyguards are also equally guilty so that means all six must be eliminated.

Dante and Mine were on a cliff side as he looked through binoculars looking over Iokal's home. "That must be the place." Dante glanced at Mine who was preparing her weapon. "Hey Mine that's an imperial arms isn't it?"

Mine smiled proudly. "Yup sure is. Its name is Pumpkin. It gets stronger the more danger I'm in."

Dante glanced at his sword that was sheathed on his side. "I never thought I'd see another one.."

"He's coming." Mine pulled Dante out of his thoughts as she was aiming her weapon.

Dante looked through the binoculars seeing Iokal coming with women on each side in rows. "I see him. Can you make the shot?"

"Of course I can. I'm a genius after all." Mine waited another second before firing a shot that hit Iokal directly in the head between the eyes as Dante gaped at how precies that shot was. "See told you I'm a genius."

Dante and Mine retreated in hopes of getting free of any possibility that they'll be found by any of the bodyguards.

Mine went on to tell Dante about her past and ho she was mistreated by others without having any help all because, she was half foreign. "Also thanks to the revolutionary army I'll get loads of reward money and retire in a life of luxury." Mines laugh made Dante groan.

They found themselves in a clearing with a large cherry blossom tree as Dante looked around making sure they're alone.

"I think we're good. I hope the others are doing okay." Dante felt like something was wrong still.

That's when he pushed Mine over as one of the merc guards came out of nowhere he missed Mine but, Dante was sent flying across the ground. Dante felt his ears ringing as he managed to stand up and saw that Mine was in trouble. Dante ran towards them both as he leaped into the air bringing his sword down as the guard blocked his attack.

Dante let go of his blade and grabbed the guard. "Mine! Take the shot!"

Mine was mockingly crying. "I can't believe you'd be willing to sacrifice yourself."

Dante just glared with a tick mark on his head. "I'm still alive! Besides you said your a genius sniper aren't you!?" The guard kept punching Dante in the back trying to free himself. "Hurry!"

Mine smiled. "Since when are you one to give me orders?" Mine then aimed her weapon charging up a shot. "Guess I'll have you my best shot though."

Mine charged up her shot as the merc desperately tried to free himself only he was too late and Mine fired. There was a massive hole in the mercs chest as both he and Dante fell over neither moving as Mine looked at their bodies. Dante was breathing heavily as that shot was way to close for his comfort as he slowly stood up.

Mine walked over. "Looks like you have some guts after all. I guess I should commend you for your br-" Mine was cut off as Dante flicked her forehead with his metal finger confusing her.

"Didn't needed to cut it so close." Dante pointed to his smoldering hair. "Look what that damn pumpkin thing did to my fucking hair!?"

"Ugh! What is wrong with you a genius was about to give you a compliment!"

"Oh shut the hell up! You're no genius you're just too smart for your own good!"

The others just arrived to find they didn't need to worry so much about them as Akame just smiled at the two happy to see them alive.
