The golden knight of night raid
Hey everyone who stuck around after the prologue it was not my idea but the second year part got so long I decided to turn it into its own chapter which was why it was kind of an info dump thanks for giving this story a further chance anyway I don't have any announcements so let's get the akame ga kill timeline started.
And in case people forget or would like to see the pairing again the pairing = harry x akame x Chelsea x mine x leone
Esdeath (I'm not sure part of me wants to put her in the harem and has an idea how to explain some of her darker tendency but another part of me wants to make her a horror so let me know which one you would like)
Kurome (while I like her part of me ships her with wave so again opinions if I should or shouldn't put her in the harem)
Lubbock x secret
sheele x secret
najenda x secret
Also I will be using a combination of the anime and manga to write this story
Chapter 2 the knight meets a red eyed assassin
it was a beautiful day in the forest that led to the capital the sun was shining brightly and there was a nice breeze going through the forest in the distance a figure seemed to be making his way through the forest.
The man looked to be about 18 and was wearing blue colored jeans black boots and no shirt showing off both his muscular body but also the tattoo on the right side of his body showing an army of the undead trying to crawl out of a fiery inferno with a phoenix breaking past them around his right shoulder, chest and upper arm (think same style as a yakuza shoulder tattoo) with a dark red trench coat black fingerless gloves with a necklace of a woman wearing a wolfs mask hanging from his neck.
he also had a revolver in his brown shoulder holster which he kept under his jacket a custom smith and Wesson 500 which was powered by magic ( similar outfit as dante from devil may cry 3 plus bleu rose from dmc 4 and the necklace is silva from garo).
Strapped to his back was a silver straight sword in a red scabbard with a golden symbol on the handle. (garo kouga sword)
The man had messy black hairthat was sleeked back with a single strand that dangled in front of his facebut the most noticeable thing about him where his eyes which where a piercing green that could look straight into your soul (harry physically mostly resembles a teen/ young adult aizen but with his iconic hairstyle).
This was harry evans as far as he knew the only wizard in this world and wielder of the imperial arms cursed flame : suzaku.
It had been three years since he had bonded with his imperial arm. (and just to be clear this is where the second year flashback would have started with a bit of altered text)
as soon as he had drawn that circle he had passed out when his armor equipped itself and transported him to this world.
When he had woken up again he was in a house in a small farming town.
A girl by the name of sayo had found him knocked out in the forest and brought him to her parents who were the towns doctors who had nursed him back to health.
As soon as he was fit to travel he had traveled to the location of the seal which was close to the village only to find out Salazar was right all along the seal was already weakened enough that a horror could slip through every now and then.
He gave it ten years at best before the seal would fully brake seven if he was unlucky.
The weakening seal was also the reason why harry had to travel quit a bit during the first year when he arrived in this world as he had to hunt down some of the more blatant horrors who didn't take any efforts to hide their presence.
And when he wasn't traveling he was helping sayo who through the years had become a surrogate little sister to him.
He would mostly help out by teaching sayo how to use the plants that grew in and around the town to make healing balms and elixir's and while he had some talent in healing sayo potential in healing surpassed his own by leaps and bounds.
He also sometimes used phoenix tears which he could now produce at the cost of a large chunk of his magic with 1 tear being 25% of his magic reserve and a 25% reserve costing 6 hours to fully recharge which was why he always made two before he went to sleep and one when he woke up making it so his reserves where almost always on 75%.
To help the more seriously injured at the clinic he of course did this without anyone's knowledge.
And when he wasn't doing that he was either training with his armor training his body or learning himself how to use makai magic with him even teaching sayo after he made a madou brush for both of them even if sayo was the one with talent in that department he for some reason had no talent in makai magic making him wait for a while before he would try that again deciding to focus on using his armor.
He also made them a gun that used makai magic to shoot magic bullets which he powered with a combination of runes that medea had given him and gem stones which were transfigured and shrunk till they were the size and shape of a bullet and had different effects depending on the gem being used.
He had also started learning from the things medea and mordred had given him including their journal in which it revealed in a different handwriting which they probably asked an elf to wright that they had blood adopted him without his knowledge making him cry tears of joy at the two people he considered his surrogate mothers having adopted him.
With that news as motivator he did his best to master everything their journals taught like the sword style for clarent which would help when he used his armor and prana burst.
While from medea journals he tried to learn everything about runes which included one to stop his metamorph ability from shifting his body unless he wanted it to which made it so he didn't become as much of a klutz like tonks was from her body shifting all the time.
however the reason he was heading for the capital was personal.
Sayo and her friends tatsumi and Ieyasu had gone to the capital to join the army to make money to help out the village which was in economic decline due to the heavy taxes the emperor was placing on the smaller towns.
Now normally he wouldn't set a foot in the capital because of two reasons.
one he had been near some of the smaller villages near the capital during his journey to eliminate horrors where the stories of the empire corruption ran rampant which he had explained to her but unfortunately there was no other way to make the large amount money the town needed to survive outside the capital.
And second and most important it wouldn't surprise him if after all these centuries barago had taken up residence in the capital again.
and while he would say he was strong he was nowhere near strong enough to deal with the centuries of experience that barago had nor the unknown number of madou horrors barago had under his command which he knew contained at least three makai knights.
But after a week sayo still hadn't let anything know making him worried as with their makai magic they could send a message from one person to another in an hour tops and yet he hadn't heard anything from her for a couple of days making him get a bad gut feeling.
Which was why he had decided to go to the capital against his own better judgement to check up on her he just hoped she had forgotten to send a message in her excitement instead of the other less desirables possibility his mind came up with.
'I still don't understand why you are taking such a risk partner' his neckless said in a feminine tone in his head making him smile slightly.
This was silva his self-created madou tool which acted as both a horror detector and an encyclopedia on both horrors and a lot of other things from dangerbeasts to imperial arms she knew all of them.
''call it a gut feeling besides I would rather waste my time and not be needed than her needing me and not give my time'' he said with a smirk.
'and unfortunately that is your weakness as a knight you let your emotions guide you' she said in a serious admonishing tone until she continued sounding much gentler 'but still I can't say it's a weakness I particularly dislike'.
''why thank you'' he smirked as he flicked his finger against the necklace.
RUMBLE
The ground started shaking as harry could see a big dragon like beast arise from below the earth near a travel caravan a bit up ahead.
'harry be careful that's a class A danger beast earth dragon stay clear of its fangs and claws there as hard as steel' silva said while harry was running towards it to help the travelers that it was attacking.
Harry hearing its description just smirked in anticipation of what he hoped was gonna be a good fight as he drew his sword from his back.
As he ran his sword started glowing red from the heat it was generating which was so hot it even started distorting the air around it because of the sheer heat while his feat showed some traces of red lightning until harry disappeared in a burst of speed showing he used prana burst.
As the farmers where screaming in fright a red blur shot past the earth dragon as its arm suddenly detached in a fountain of blood.
Harry having cut of its arm just smirked ''well I guess a class A should at least give me a decent challenge'' he said as he turned towards the earth dragon that towered him while lazily spinning his sword in one hand.
The earth dragon roared in anger making harry smirk more ''well I guess I made you angry well no matter this won't take long''.
As the dragon used its remaining claw to lunge at him he created a jet of flame beneath him launching him over its claw with a small front flip as he ran over its claw while slashing at its skin his hot blade slicing through its armor like a hot knife through butter.
As he neared the creature mouth it tried to bite the small human off its arm only for said human to put away its sword and jump using the dragons head as a spring board.
As he launched himself using the dragons head he flipped himself upside down and pulled out his gun and opened it showing multiple bullets made out of different kinds of gems.
He turned to a blue gem and put the chamber back in the gun and took aim at the dragons head and pulled the trigger making a blast of blue energy come out of the barrel and hit the dragon right in its mouth making the dragon swallow it after which it exploded in a rain of lightning destroying his head in the process making him land in a crouch and blow the smoke from his gun ''and that's all folks'' he said with a smirk.
''amazing job man'' one of the men he just saves said as he walked up to him with a grateful smile the man having long black hair with a magenta streak through it.
''yeah you actually took down a danger beast single handedly'' the second man said sounding impressed the man being a scraggily blond with blue eyes.
All harry did in return was give a small smile ''don't mention it by the way the name is harry''.
The two men in return smiled back ''I'm ren this is my friend jaune'' ren said smiling ''so where are you heading traveler''.
''too the capital'' harry answered as jaune suddenly gained a serious look in his eyes.
''why you heading there trying to make it big'' he asked curiously but still you couldn't help but note the undertone of dread he had.
''not really my little sister went there to try and earn money to help our village but I haven't heard from her for a while'' he said making the other two grimace.
''you might want to prepare for the worst man the capital isn't such a good place as it ones was'' jaune said making harry gain a serious expression.
''jaune is right because while it may be lively there are monsters even worse than that earth dragon''
Harry just sighed in annoyance ''I know if it was up to me I wouldn't set food near the capital unless it was absolutely necessary but if I let my little sister get hurt I wouldn't be able to look at my self in the mirror anymore'' he said making jaune and ren nod in understanding.
''well I can understand that If I was in your situation I wouldn't be able to call myself a man unless I went as well'' jaune said with and understanding smile.
''why don't you jump in the back where heading to the capital anyway'' ren said.
Harry in return gave a grateful smile ''that would be a huge help so thank you''.
''don't mention it see it as our way of paying you back for saving us'' ren said making harry nod as he made his way to the back of the wagon.
However just as ren wanted to make his way to the front jaune grabbed his arm ''are you sure that's a good idea we still have to deliver these supplies to Lubbock'' jaune said sounding worried.
All ren did in return was smile '' don't worry will drop him of at the capital gate before we go to the meeting point'' ren said making jaune nod in understanding.
As harry climbed in the back he made himself comfortable.
This was a lucky break for him considering he hadn't slept well in the last couple of days and with some luck he would reach the capital in a few hours.
As he started drowsing off his last thought was ''I hope you're okay little sister'' not knowing that just as his eyes closed they turned silver.
(harry vision)
Harry found himself in a white void with nothing around him but a white mist that obscured his sight making it so he could only see a small bit in front of him.
''the hell'' harry mumbled in amazement he never had a dream like this whether they were true dreams or vision dreams.
Harry not knowing wat to do decided to just walk in a random direction and see what would happen.
As he started walking the smoke slowly but surely started receding until he came to a strange basin with I it a strange silver liquid reminding him almost of a pensive.
As he stood in front of it he carefully poked the water making it ripple until it showed a vision.
It showed him walking through the capital it looked like he was looking for someone until he came upon a large crowd that had gathered.
Not knowing what was going on his other self pushed to the front of the crowd until he stopped and looked up in horror.
Right there in the middle of a public square was a pole with an auburn haired girls head impaled on it.
''FUCK!'' harry exclaimed in shock as he backed off in fright and disgust as he felt his heart throb in sadness while trying to swallow the bile in his throat from nearly throwing up.
Harry admitted he had seen some disgusting things during his horror hunts but this actually displaying the head like some sort of warning this was a whole new level of cruel.
As he gathered his courage to look back again into the basin he saw three people veiled by shadow in front of the pole while their eyes flashed with Inga runes.
Harry in anger punched the image knowing the message those future horrors where sending his other self at that moment we killed someone important to you and you cant do anything about it.
There was no doubt about it this was a vision of the future but why did the fates decide to show him this he was always told the fates had a plan.
As the water stopped rippling from the punch he saw a new vision it showed a busty haired blond woman with multiple bullet wounds bleeding out in an alley.
Harry quickly pulled away as he felt his own heart scream in anguish at the girl but why he hadn't met her yet so why was the bleeding effect with his future self so strong why did he feel like his own heart was being ripped out of his chest as he saw these people die.
''please I get it the future fucked up so please stop'' harry whispered pleadingly the emotions from his future self becoming too much for him.
''the future must change'' a voice spoke up
''change starts with a single step'' a second voice spoke up
''and for it to change you must know what to expect'' a third voice spoke up.
''please at least turn of the bleeding effect'' harry pleaded still reeling from the anger sadness and all other emotions his future self felt when those people that he guessed where gonna become close to him died.
''no for this change to happen you must resolve to never let the pain your future self feels happen'' the three voices said as harry felt himself get raised from the floor to standing back in front of the stone basin.
As the silver liquid rippled again harry this time saw the open sky as a green haired guy about the same age as him falling from it as he saw him nearing the ground he saw a gold blur racing to reach and catch him.
Harry having a feeling as to what was gonna happen tried to close his eyes only for the fates that ruled this place to keep them open and stop him from averting his gaze as the boy fell on a couple of spike on the ground impaling him.
Harry seeing this tried every occlumency trick he knew to try and calm himself down but it wasn't working.
Again the basin started rippling this time it showed him the red eyed girl from the vision he had the day he left his world and finally he saw himself holding a girl that shared some resemblance with the red eyed girl only she had black eyes but most of all this vision had sound.
''don't worry kurome everything is gonna be alright wave will be here any minute now with my med kit then I will patch you right up and then I'll even bake you a fresh batch of cookies'' his future self said making the black eyed girl smile.
''chocolate chip right than me and sis can share them'' she said sounding excited while the red eyed girl behind him smiled while tears started coming from her eyes as the girl with black eyes in his arms went limb.
The water rippled again this time it showed him holding a petite pink haired girl in his arms while she held his hand.
''come on mine you cant die on me'' his future self said in a tone that further broke his heart ''your gonna stand on the winning side right''.
All the pink haired girl did was smile ''what are you saying idiot I'm already on the winning side'' she said as she pulled herself up and kissed him.
Harry seeing this felt the bleeding effect calm down at the feeling of love he felt from that action only for it to come back full force with what happened next.
''I love you'' she said as she went limp in his arms as his future self let out a scream filled with pain and agony.
Harry seeing all these memories had tears freely streaming form his eyes while he kept begging for all of it to stop.
''this is the last one just bear with it for a little while'' the three voices said once more in unison.
As he saw the liquid ripple for one last time he saw himself in a pure golden armor that was slowly disintegrating with his own body broken and covered in blood as he saw that same red eyed girl as before approaching him.
''I'm sorry'' his future self said with a pained smile as he tried to make his way towards the red eyed girl ''looks like I couldn't keep my promise'' he said as he stumbled forwards with the red eyed girl dashing forward and catching him as she held him tightly as he died in her arms.
''you promised you promised me you'd survive'' she screamed her voice laced with pain and sadness as she started shaking as she kept holding onto him tighter '' I never even got to tell you how I feel about you''.
With those last words spoken the images faded away and he was released from the invisible grip making him fall on his knees as the tears continued to flow from his eyes.
As he looked up three cloaked figures appeared before him '' you now know your future the rest is up to you golden knight'' the fates said in unison as he felt himself be pushed back to his body.
(back in the real world)
Harry shot awake as he felt a tear drop from his eyes ad the vision with his heart still beating like crazy.
As he pulled his hand through his hair he started doing every occlumency exercises he knew calming him down as he felt the cart stop and heard jaune call from the front ''hey man where here''.
Hearing this he quickly got out and walked to the front ''thanks guys I'll hope to see you guys around'' he said with a fake smile as to not let them know anything was wrong.
''same good luck finding your sister'' ren said as you turned around to give him a nod in thanks as he walked into the capital.
As he walked into the capital he had to admit even if he knew of its corruption the capital looked good clean colorful and quit big.
''so this is the capital quite impressive still if I'm right those three would have gone straight to the barracks to apply'' he said to himself not noticing the busty blond haired woman sipping her coffee that had been watching him the whole time.
She had to admit she was intrigued this was the guys first time in the capital if she was right with how he looked around in amazement.
Yet he didn't seem to have any sense of safety that the other country people had on the contrary his guard seemed to be up the whole time.
''well I admit country boy you caught my interest now lets see if you can entertain me'' she said with a smirk as she stood up to follow him.
After asking the way harry was now standing in front of the recruiter who seemed bored ''excuse me I'm'' but before he could continue the man had already interrupted him ''if you want to join you have to fill in these forms'' he said not even looking up.
''I don't want to join I'm looking for these kids they should have come here sometime in these past few days'' harry said pulling out a photo of sayo and her friends.
''haven't seen them'' he said without even looking up making harry frown in annoyance.
''dude you didn't even look up'' harry said with clear annoyance in his voice.
This time the man did look up to glare at harry'' listen here brat I didn't see them now fuck of before I have you thrown out'' he said making harry glare at them while several soldiers looked ready to draw their swords making harry hold back it wouldn't do to have himself arrested before he found sayo.
''fine I'll leave'' harry said sounding annoyed but not before he used his foot to send a wave of flames at one of his foot stools when no one saw him making him smirk as he heard a scream inside as the guy fell from his chair.
As was outside he leaned against a wall in an alley and closed his eyes as he tried to come up with a new plan to find sayo.
''hey there'' a sultry female voice said from beside him ''you seem to be in need for some help maybe I can give you that'' hearing this made him look up as his eyes widen in surprise.
She was a beautiful blond woman with some of the biggest breast he had ever seen which where just barely contained in her black tube top with short blond hair and yellow eyes however he could feel his heart throb in pain for a sec as he saw her overlap with the vision of her lying in the alley.
''hey you okay you look like you've seen a ghost'' she said sounding worried about harry as he had gone white as a sheet.
He quickly calmed himself down and tried to think of an excuse but unfortunately he couldn't so he was gonna give a spin on an old pick up line.
''yeah I'm fine just don't take this the wrong way I'm not saying this as a pick up line but have we met before''.
The girl hummed in response to the question and looked him up and down before she looked back to his face with a slight blush on her face she had to admit he didn't have bulatcchi physique but his was just what she liked and that he wasn't wearing a shirt was a mayor plus in her books ''not that I can remember sorry kid'' she said shrugging her shoulders while fighting down the blush.
Harry wanting to drop the subject put on his best smile ''I see my fault then you just looked familiar my name is harry by the way'' he said while stretching out his hand.
The girl seeing this just smirked and took his hand in her own making him notice she had quite the strong grip ''well the name is leone nice to meet you handsome'' she purred out.
''anyway wats your story handsome'' she asked with a smirk while her gaze told me she was trying to figure me out.
''I'm looking for my sister she and her friends had this dream to make it big in the city to buy the village to save it from the taxes but I haven't heard from her in a while'' he said showing her a picture of the three.
She looked at the photo but shook her head sadly ''haven't seen them unfortunately but I know someone who might'' she said with a smirk.
''and your gonna tell me this out of the goodness of your heart'' he said sounding skeptical.
''well buy a girl a drink and will talk'' she said with a bright smile making you blush slightly as your heart started beating faster ''well I guess there are worse ways to spent my afternoon'' he said with a chuckle as the both of them made their way to a local bar.
As we walked in leone gained a big smile ''yo bartender give me a mug of beer'' she said with a chipper tone lifting your spirit a bit with her smile that seemed infectious.
Still feeling slightly shaken from the vision you decide to also get a bit of Dutch courage to calm your nerves ''I'll have a white Russian'' harry said as both he and leone took a seat with their drinks.
Leone immediately took a couple of big swigs form her mug ''aww man having a drink in the middle of the day is the best'' she said with a smile as you smiled and took a big swig of your own drink making you slightly grimace at the bitter taste ''needs more cream''.
Leone seeing this chuckles ''well if it had more cream it wouldn't be a white Russian who knows maybe you should have just ordered some ice cream''.
You gave her a mock offended frown and pulled out a cookie from a bag which you always kept with you and put special charms on the keep the cookies fresh ''so I have a bit of a sweet tooth sue me'' he said sarcastically.
Leone hearing this gained a large anime sweat drop on her forehead as she gained the feeling of deja vu having had a similar discussion with her best friend only then it was about meat and not sweets.
''anyway you said you might know someone who might be able to find out where they are'' he said bringing their conversation back to their original topic.
Leone hearing this gained a serious expression normally this is where she would scam him out of his money yet the very thought of trying it with this guy strangely enough made her feel bad so she thought she might as well get a bit of good karma to counter out all the killing she does.
''well I have some contacts around the capital but it might take a few days the picture and some cash'' she said.
hearing this you where halve sure this was a scam but yet he felt like trusting her and as luna journal said when in doubt trust the bleeding effect when possible.
So he pulled out one of his two money bags and shoved it towards her while quickly casting a wandless Gemini charm on the picture in your pocket and gave it to her.
''that's 300 gold pieces if you can find them I'll give you another 200 as thanks plus whatever is left of that bag'' he said making leone smile at least he knew how to motivate someone.
''deal lets meet back here in say three days'' she asked with harry nodding in agreement.
As he saw her walking out he decided he needed some more calming down ''bartender get me another white Russian with extra cream''.
(couple hours later)
The bartender was closing up but he couldn't help but stop and look in amazement at the guy who had come in a couple of hours ago he had in that time drunken 50 white Russians and 25 shots of vodka and he didn't look worse for where hell he only looked slightly tipsy.
And that was true you see due to his bond with his imperial arms he couldn't get drunk the heat in his body burned out most of the alcohol making it so you could only get tipsy and even that was only for a couple of minutes to his dismay considering that he had hoped to forget about the vision with the alcohol but it wasn't meant to be still at least he was tipsy he took everything he could get.
''hey kid where going to close'' the bartender called out making harry sigh in annoyance as he stood up put the money he owed for the drinks on the table and walked out the door.
As he slightly stumbled through the street with his buzz already calming down part of him wanted to go find an inn but stopped that idea he never could get cold anyway because of his imperial arms and considering he was a light sleeper he might as well save some money considering that he had to keep 200 aside for leone for if she came through because of which meant he only had 80 coins to spend so he might as well find a good spot on the road.
But as he was walking his buzz fully gone he couldn't help but think about his vision of leone he hoped she was gonna be okay even in the short time he met her he knew she didn't deserve that heck she was kinda fun maybe he should share a few drinks with her when they meet again.
Since he wasn't paying attention as he was walking he was surprised as two kids that reminded him of crab and goyle started talking to him.
''well what do we have here a country bumpkin with a fancy sword'' lets call him fake crab said.
''you will be giving that to us bumpkin and of course that's and order'' fake goyle said.
Harry with everything that happened wasn't amused so with a deadpanned expression he vanished in a burst of speed courtesy of his prana burst and appeared behind them while he was in the middle of resheeting his sword.
CLICK
And just as the blade fully returned to its sheath both the guys clothes where cut exactly in half leaving them in nothing but their underwear as they ran to their home while harry walked away with a smirk.
As harry shook his head at the gull of some of the idiots here to even try and rob someone that was easy to see stronger than them he thought as he slumped against a wall on a bridged to rest for a bit.
However just when harry was about to close his eyes he heard a carriage stop in front of him making him look up in suspicion as a blonde girl stepped out that was obviously from a rich family if her clothes where any indication.
''I don't think this man has a place to sleep the poor thing'' she said to one of her guards like he wasn't even there.
'' again miss'' the guard asked avoiding the young girls gaze.
'' I cant help it its just my nature'' the girl answered back as she walked up to harry '' are you from the country side''
''yeah'' harry said getting a weird gut feeling from the girl hell forget feeling his gut was screaming to be careful.
''if you don't have a place to stay you can stay at my house'' she said cheerfully with a warm smile.
Still being weary with your gut feeling you decided to try and get out of it ''I'm sorry but I don't have any money to pay you miss'' he said with a kind smile while repeating the mantra 'please buy it and go away'.
''well if you did you wouldn't be sleeping outside silly'' she said while you internally where cursing at having gone with that excuse because let's admit it in hindsight it was a bad one.
''miss aria cant leave a poor boy like you out here to freeze'' the first guard said while putting his hand on harry shoulder while slightly guiding him to the carriage making harry frown.
Maybe it was a good idea to go after all then he could at least figure out why he had this bad gut feeling he thought as he put on a fake smile ''well it beats sleeping on the ground.
''then its settled'' she said as she took his arm and pulled him towards her carriage ''step into the carriage and will take you to my home''.
(a few minutes later)
Harry couldn't help but be amazed he knew they where probably well of but he couldn't help but be gob smacked at the size of the house and the amount of priceless artifacts laying around the house.
''well it looks like aria brought home another guest'' the father said with a smile as aria let him into a candle lit room making him smirk this would at least give him the chance to check his suspicion.
''well its in her nature dear how many does that make now'' aria mother said with a warm smile.
'these guards must be pretty strong if they are this relaxed around strangers' harry thought as he mentally mapped the location of every guard in the room incase his suspicion was true and he would need a quick escape.
''thank you for helping me'' harry said with a kind smile as he bowed in appreciation.
''oh its quit alright young man'' aria father said with a smile as he backend for harry to take a seat and drink some tea.
As he took his seat he immediately started his plan he needed to know if these people where horrors.
He focused his control over fire on the candles making them smaller and smaller until they fully went out.
''oh dear looks like the candles went out let me get a match'' aria mother said.
''no worries I got it'' harry said as he pulled a silver lighter out of his pocket.
As he clicked it open a haunting green flame came out as he reignited the candles.
He quickly checked each of their eyes in the light of the mystic green flame only to be surprised when none of them had any runes in them.
''now my boy would you mind telling me why you came to the capitol'' aria father said while you had to hide a sneer a side effect from your hate for Dumbledore was you hated it if someone called you their boy you were no one's anything well except maybe your mother's son and in the future maybe someone's boyfriend but this and that are different things.
''oh my sister and her friends came here to join the army but I haven't heard form her in a while so I came to check up on her only I haven't found her yet'' he said while showing them the picture with all three of them not showing any emotion.
''why that's terrible young man'' aria mother said as she put her hand to her mouth.
''indeed I can understand why you would be worried but perhaps we can come to an agreement'' aria father said with a smile and a glint in his eyes harry couldn't identify ''you see a good portion of our guards have taken a short leave of absence and because of that I'm understaffed so in return for me asking my associates about your friends would you mind being my daughter's bodyguard for a few days''.
Harry took a moment to contemplate this while he was hoping for leone to find them it wouldn't hurt to get some extra help ''sure I don't mind'' harry said with a smile of his own as he shook the fathers hand.
''very well then young man I will have one of the guards show you your temporary room and we will see you bright and early in the morning'' he said as harry was let out of the room by the guard an brought to a small bedroom for him to sleep in.
Having a feeling that tomorrow would be exhausting he quickly dropped onto the bed and closed his eyes while quickly drifting of to the realm of dreams.
(2 hours later with aria let's face it we all know what she does so no need to hide it when I can use it for plot )
CLASH
Resounded through the small barn a minute away from the house.
The clash was made by aria who had a whip in her hand with a sadistic smirk.
The girl she was whipping was about 16 hanging from the ceiling with black hair and a flower in it while her whole body was riddled with wounds some of which were still bleeding hell the only reason she was still alive was because of the blood transfusion she was given in between the torture because aria wanted to enjoy breaking the defiant bitch.
''you know we got a new guest in the mansion tonight'' aria said with a smug smirk while the girl hanging from the ceiling just kept her mouth shut while glaring.
''such a sweat guy came all the way here because he was worried about his little sister'' aria said as the girls eyes widen in surprise.
''so be assured you wont have to miss your brother for long after your death I will send him right up after you after I tell him in details what I did to you all to watch him break''
Aria was expecting her to do a lot of things beg for her life or for the safety of her brother but the one thing she didn't expect was.
''HAHAHAHAHA'' she was laughing why the hell was the bitch laughing.
CLASH
Resounded through the room as the girl was hit by the whip again ''what's so funny you dam hick'' she said with a snarl only for the girl to give her the most sadistic malicious grin she had ever seen.
''what's funny is the dead girl in front of me it's good to know that even if I die you will die as well when my brother kills you'' she said as aria took a step back.
''I now know that no matter what happens you will die by his flames and when you reach the cloudy city in the sky I will be waiting to personally kick you back down to hell'' she said as aria sneered.
She immediately started whipping the girl but to her dismay their where no more screams of pain for the rest of the night the only thing that resounded through the barn was vindictive laughter as sayo muted out the pain with fantasies of her big brother killing the bitch.
With no one noticing that one of the first torture tools aria ever used was slightly moving as it fed on all the dark emotions in the barn while trying to decide who of the three family members would be the perfect host.
(next day)
''Next where going to that store'' aria exclaimed happily as harry and the two other guards with them where shopping.
''please slow down my lady'' the two guards said not being able to keep up with her while harry was carrying the most stuff with a smirk of amusement at the guards having trouble with the boxes they had thank merlin for the feather light charm.
Having walked around for a couple more hours they had returned to the carriage that was filled to the brim with the things she bought.
''dam that's a lot hell this maybe too much'' harry said in slight disbelieve not understanding why someone would need to buy so much new clothes.
''its not just the lady kid all woman are like that'' one of the guards said with a wise tone as if he was telling him some kind of important life lesson.
''really those I know never did this many and always knew what to wear'' he said thinking of tonks who had only a couple outfits that had a permanent transfiguration rune on it that allowed her to transfigure it into anything with only a small bit of magic with harry wearing a male version which he transfigured to look like it did.
And of course sayo who also only had a couple outfits that where always of use but then again with her it just might be because there was not much else to wear.
''but anyway harry take a look over there'' he said pointing towards the center of the capitol where there was a big palace.
''that big castle in the center is the royal palace'' seeing this made him whistle in amazement that palace was freaking huge why the hell would one person need that much living space but then again what did he now for all he knew it could be the home of a big part of the military.
''so that's where the current ruling emperor lives'' he said with a neutral tone not wanting anyone to know the anger he felt at the guy making the lives of smaller villages harder.
''no it's a little different than that'' he said as he got closer to harry so unfriendly ears wouldn't hear them.
''while there is an emperor he is only a child'' this made his eyes widen in surprise he thought it was the emperor himself that did these things but if he is only a child then who.
''it's the prime minister who controls the emperor from the shadows that has all the power and most off all he is the reason this country became so rotten'' he said but just as harry was about to ask a question he put his hand over his mouth.
''don't say anything suspicious if anyone hears us they will have our heads'' he said with clear fear in his voice making harry nod in understanding as he removed his hand.
''so if that's the case the heavy taxation of the farming villages is also because of the prime minister'' he said while the guard just nodded with a grim nod ''unfortunately it's an accepted practice in the capital to make it so the high class citizens can live in luxury with little effort''.
''there is also those guys to worry about'' he said as he pointed towards a wall with a bunch of wanted posters being about something called night raid only his attention was drawn to the poster of the one called akame who with her black hair and red eyes looked exactly like the girl from his vision.
''there a group of assassins that's terrifying the capital as the name suggest they attack their victims at night they mainly attack high ranking executives and the capital upper class so you should prepare yourself just in case'' he said with a serious expression while harry just nodded as he turned away not wanting the guy to see him frown.
He knew the guy wasn't telling the whole truth from his visions he could only guess that in the future for some reason he had joined them but the way the guy made it sound he would never join so the question was what was their true goal.
''also one more thing'' the guard said as he pointed towards aria who was skipping towards them and two guard carrying a massive box ''do you think you could do something about that'' all harry could do was sweat drop at the idiocy of the situation.
(Several hours later)
Night had come ones again to the capital with the ones knowing they deserved it fearing night raid would come for them.
At aria home almost everyone was asleep except for aria mother who was walking through the hallway while humming to herself.
''now then time to write in my journal again'' she said with a small smile as she kept her book to her chest '' I just can't stop this hobby''.
However before she could continue saying what she wanted to say her world exploded in pain as it turned upside down ''heh'' she sounded in surprise as she saw he body was cut in half by a giant scissor as blood sprayed all over the once clean hallway as the woman died before the top half of her body hit the floor.
The assassin turned out to be a slender woman with long purple hair and purple eyes she was wearing a lilac cheongsam with detached lilac arm sleeves and white boots while carrying the large scissor that just killed the woman ''I'm terribly sorry'' she apologized with a bow.
'HARRY' silva shouted just as harry shot awake as he felt a cold feeling in the air which he recognized all too well.
'harry this feeling is' silva began only for harry to interrupt her ''I know bloodlust'' he said as he quickly stood up and pulled on his coat and sword as he ran out of his room.
As he ran through the halls trying to find out what going on even if he could take an educated guess he came to a skidding stop as he saw something outside.
He spotted multiple people standing on top of wire looking down menacingly with him getting a small memory flash with all of them but still he had to wonder why the hell where they on those wires was there some strategical value like intimidation or something or where they showing off.
Without a doubt this was night raid but the question was what where they doing here and why was this family targeted.
As he thought that he saw some guards heading for them making him question if he should help the guards or guard the family.
''three guard are heading our way their targets as well akame'' a green haired guy said.
''they will be eliminated'' akame said as she let herself fall backwards as she landed in a crouch and drew her sword as a white armored man crashed down behind her.
''whatever you do don't let that sword touch you'' the lead guard warned as he and the other two charged towards akame.
''eliminate'' she muttered as she disappeared in a speed that was just as fast as harry when he used prana burst as she appeared behind the lead guard as he grabbed his throat as he felt the poison start to crawl through his veins.
while the white armored man threw his spear towards the second guard he was blown away by the strength of his impalement as the white armored man walked up to him and removed his spear ''a fitting end for someone like me'' the lead guard muttered as he succumbed to the poison.
''what the'' the last guard muttered in fear as he looked around in fear until he turned around and ran ''I don't wanna die'' he screamed in fear.
BANG
Resounded as he took his third step and was shot down from atop the wire by the pink haired girl ''how pathetic running from your enemies'' she said
''hell against these odds who wouldn't run'' the green haired guy replied back.
Harry who was watching from above couldn't help himself form gaping in shock ''they were completely annihilated in an instant''.
He didn't know what to do but something in him told him to go to aria so he took a sprint the other way hoping to find her.
However in another part of the mansion another assassin was eliminating her target the same girl harry met yesterday only this time her hair was longer she had a lions tail and ears and claws that had aria father by his throat while squeezing the life out of him ready to break his neck.
''please spare me I have a daughter'' aria father begged as leone grip tightened around his neck.
''don't worry about her you will meet her on the other side soon enough'' she said as she looked in his eyes with her slitted yellow eyes.
''even my daughter have you no mercy'' he asked just as leone snapped his neck with her claw.
''mercy never heard of it'' she said as she dropped his lifeless body on the floor.
(near the storage shed)
''this way my lady'' a guard said as he ran with aria towards the storage shed hoping to hide there until reinforcements arrived.
''what's going on'' she asked in panic.
''no time to explain we must get to the storage shed will be safe their'' he said as the storage shed came into view.
''Aria'' harry exclaimed as he stepped out of the forest.
''harry'' she said in relieve as she saw him safe.
''perfect timing we will hide in the shed you hold them off until the authorities arrive'' he said in joy while harry glared at him.
''I'm no ones meat shield fucker'' he exclaimed angrily.
Only for him to turn around as he felt a presence behind him.
As he turned around emerald green immediately met blood red 'harry be careful that girl wields the one cut killer murasame' silva informed as he inwardly cursed his rotten luck as he drew his own sword ''no choice then'' he muttered as he got ready while she ran at him with amazing speed which he could only reach if he used prana burst only for the images form his vision to play through his head.
''you promised you promised me you'd survive I never even got to tell you how I feel '' he slightly faltered as his heart started throbbing in pain as he remembered her voice and the tears streaming from her eyes there was no doubt that she was important for his future self he couldn't bring himself to hurt her.
''not a target'' snapped him back to reality as she jumped over him looking like some kind of fallen angel as she used his back as springboard he quickly spun around to see her heading towards aria.
''dammit'' the guard said as he opened fire trying to hit her only for her to be too fast to be hit until she was in front of his with her sword ready to strike.
''eliminate'' she said as time seemed to slow down as she slashed him in half after which she started walking towards aria after a quick glance to see harry hadn't moved to attack her.
She now stood over aria as she readied her blade ''target'' she said as she was about to strike only for her eyes to widen in surprise as she quickly jumped away as harry appeared where she had been a second ago in a burst of speed with traces of red lightning.
''please move out of the way your not a target'' akame said with a deadpanned look.
''but you want to kill her right'' he said ready to move even if his heart was screaming at him to stop.
''yep'' she simply said as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
''yep?'' he replied in a shocked tone at how blasé she was about it while the air was thick with tension.
''listen akame…'' he started only to stop as akame glared at him ''how do your know my name'' akame demanded with her glare that made shivers run down his spine.
''there are wanted posters of you all around the city'' he replied getting a nod from akame.
''I'm curios at the start of the fight you hesitated why'' she asked making harry sweat how the hell was he supposed to explain that well easily not no way would she believe him so what was he gonna say.
''to be honest when I saw you I felt something familiar from you have we met by any chance'' he said while slightly lowering his sword hoping she would buy it and hating that he had to resort to dating lines.
''we haven met before but you are in the way of getting to my target so move out of the way or I will have to kill you to'' she said as she readied her blade.
''I don't want to fight you akame hell I don't know why but the thought of fighting you makes my heart hurt but I cant just walk away either'' he said as he took his own ready stance while questioning why he said that middle part.
Akame herself also tensed as she got ready to fight feeling slightly sad that she had to kill him even if she didn't understand why she felt sad she didn't know him ''for what it's worth it's nothing personal''.
Harry grip on his sword tightened 'okay no way I can win this I only have 50% reserves which means minus the one time I already used it I only have three times using prana burst no scratch that two or I would be exhausted something he couldn't have while fighting an opponent of her caliber but then again he didn't have to win just stall'.
However as harry and akame where sizing each other up leone walked out of the mansion while shaking the blood of her claws only for her to stop when she saw akame staring down an opponent.
''that's strange it not like akame to take her time'' she said to herself as she focused on akame opponent only for her eyes to widen in surprise ''oh come on how can someone have such rotten luck'' she muttered as she decided to watch slightly wanting to see how he would fare against akame.
As both where focused on each other they saw a leaf floating between them fluttering in the wind with both of them following it with their eyes only.
However as soon as it hit the ground as if by some pre-determined signal both sprinted at each other meeting in the middle in a deadlock however that just what harry wanted as he kicked his leg towards her which released a torrent of flames both leone and akame eyes widen in surprise before she jumps over it.
As she was above him she quickly came down with downwards thrust but wat she saw next surprised her she saw small bits of red lightning appear beneath his feet only for him to suddenly dodge ad her top speed.
As she landed in a crouch her eyes widened as he appeared again in the same speed with his sword ready to thrust through her skull only because she was in a crouch there was no way to dodge.
As harry appeared again he was ready to end this his blade was ready to thrust through her skull only wen it came close their he saw it again her tear stained face 'I never even got to tell you how I felt' before he even noticed it himself he had already adjusted the path of his blade to miss her head by an inch as his blade dug into the ground.
(also before people start screaming about harry being OP yes he is strong but the only reason this worked was because he had the element of surprise)
As akame saw the blade heading for her for the first time in a long time she felt fear only for something strange to happen she saw his eyes turn silver for a second and in that small fraction he had adjusted the course of his blade missing her by an inch.
On pure instinct she swung her blade only to suddenly hear a voice in her head the same voice of the guy she was fighting 'I promise you I won't die akame' somehow that one sentence made her hesitate which was all he needed to pull back and for her to only slice the chain of his necklace.
As he saw his necklace getting sliced of he quickly took a dive to catch it after which both of them got some distance.
Akame didn't look worse for wear but harry was slightly panting from his magic almost being depleted only having enough for one more prana burst which he rather wouldn't use.
Leone couldn't help but let a small smile grace her lips this guy was good most people would have already been cut down but she knew akame would soon become serious but still there was something that was bothering her and it looked like it bothered akame too.
''why did you dive for that necklace if I hadn't gotten distance a second earlier you would have left your left side exposed'' she asked as she slightly tilted her head.
Harry just looked at the necklace for a second and smiled fondly ''this was the last thing my mother gave me before she died so its very precious to me'' he said as he put it in his pocket.
''and while I don't want to kill you this means I will have to become serious for a bit for damaging it'' he said with a smirk as he raised his blade above his head and drew a circle of light
GARO
He shouted as the circle of light started shining brighter making akame squint her eyes trying to see as black and golden pieces of armor equipped itself on him he was now wearing a black body suit with mostly black plated armor except for some trims on his gauntlet two of his breastplates and his lion faceplate which where golden and a black cape that was bellowing in the wind while he was holding an ornate silver and red sword that screamed royalty.
Akame looking at the armor tensed preparing herself for anything.
As he didn't make a move she decided to make one her self as she took a sprint to him as she reached him both ended up in a deadlock again only this time he was overpowering her.
She quickly let her blade slide of his as she did a spin slash only for raise his arm and for it to bounce of his armor.
She tried to get some distance only to be surprised when he threw his blade at her making her dodge to the right before she had to drop to the ground to dodge the fireball he sent to her afterwards with harry wanting to end the fight as soon as possible seeing as he had a 99.9 second time limit which he couldn't get past.
However jus as akame was about to charge again ''and draw'' leone said as she appeared and held akame arm to stop her from attacking.
''what are you doing'' akame asked while leaning her head back to look at her with harry having a feeling it was safe de-equipping his armor as his sword flew back to his hand as he sheeted it.
''we still have some time left right'' she said as she looked up to smile at harry ''besides I'm doing a job for him which means I cant have him die yet''
''leone why are you here'' he asked in suspicion and slight dread that started creeping into his stomach.
She just looked at him with a serious expression as she started walking towards the shed ''unfortunately I'm here because my search for your sister let me here'' she said making harry feel worried.
''she lying that cant be you asked us yesterday remember we hadn't seen her'' she said in panic as harry started walking towards the shed with leone only.
CLICK
Both looked at her when they heard the click only for harry eyes to widen ''what why isn't it working the bitch killed ten of our guards with this and she was basically falling over from the poison'' she said while trying to make his sisters gun work something which wouldn't work because you needed at least some magic to make the inner runes work.
AAAAAAH
She screamed in pain as the gun was hit by a wave of flames making her drop the boiling piece of steel.
''Where did you get that'' harry said with a glare as aria started sweating.
''I don't know what you mean one of the guard gave it to me'' she said while avoiding eye contact while a bang was heard behind them as leone broke open the door.
''bullshit that my sisters gun I made it for her myself so where is she'' he said as flames started appearing around him.
''harry you might want to take a look at this'' leone suddenly called making him calm down as he walked over to her with aria trying to cool down her burned hand.
''I'm sorry harry but unfortunately this is the darkside of the capital'' she said as harry walked into the shed only for him to have to try and not to throw up.
There where multiple corpses hanging form the ceiling corpses behind bars one of which he recognized as tatsumi and the stench oh the stench was unbearable.
But yet he couldn't see any of it as he was focused on one person that was hanging from the ceiling one person that kept his attention there hanging tortured to death was his surrogate little sister it was happening again he thought as his eyes started gaining a golden ring around them.
''this is what these people do they lure people from the country side with sweat words while acting like good Samaritan's but when they are in their grasp they torture them and experiment with them until their dead'' she said while sadly looking ad harry as he couldn't tear his gaze away from his little sister.
''I'm sorry sayo I failed you'' harry said tears started streaming down his cheeks as akame stood next to him ''someone close to you'' she asked curiously while aria tried to sneak away ''my little sister'' he said with akame nodding in understanding.
''and where do you think your going'' leone said as she grabbed her by her head and turned her around.
''the family that lived here did this'' harry said more to himself as a statement than a question while cursing himself for ignoring his gut feeling having forgotten that horrors aren't the only monsters that exist.
Leone knew what he meant but decided to explain anyway ''that's right and since the guards knew and kept quiet they were just as guilty''.
''she's lying'' she said at this point being desperate to survive ''I never even knew this place existed so who are you gonna believe me who saved you or them'' she said with her seemingly forgetting she discriminated herself with the gun.
''sen….sei'' a weak voice called out that harry recognized from a cell to his left ''it's really you isn't it sayo was right'' he said in his weak tone but that didn't hide the excitement he felt.
''ieyasu'' harry exclaimed in shock at the boy who he thought sword fighting to.
''that girl she approached us three and took us to her home'' ieyasu explained with a glare aimed at aria ''we passed out after eating the meal and when we woke up we were in here'' he said as he pulled himself up fully using the bars in the cell ''that bitch she killed tatsumi and tortured sayo for days''.
''and what the hell is wrong with that'' she shouted as she slapped leone hand away ''your all just country bumpkins your no better than live stock you should be honored I gave you that much attention'' she said as she started looking slightly demonic.
''and for a farm animal like that bitch to have such silky smooth hair while I have to work an hour every morning to get mine slightly presentable and then having the gal to taunt me while I gave her a well deserved punishment she deserved everything I did to her'' she said with the three of them looking at her like she was crazy.
''nothing more than a demon disguised as a human'' leone said with a sneer ''I'm sorry I stopped you akame'' she said as akame raised her sword ''eliminate''.
''hold up'' harry said as he walked past them.
''are you seriously still gonna defend her'' leone said in disbelieve.
''no'' he said as akame and leone eyes widened in surprise as harry grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up ''I'll kill her myself'' he said as a blast of golden fire engulfed aria making her screamed in pain as harry burned her alive.
'I know she was despicable but to be able to kill her like that without blinking he might be useful' leone thought as she looked at harry with interest as he dropped her burned corpse to the ground.
''hahaha that's sensei for you'' ieyasu laughed before he threw up a big amount of blood on the floor of his cell.
Harry seeing this quickly opened his cell and pulled him into his arms as he cast a diagnostic charm only for his eyes to widen.
''what the hell is this?'' he exclaimed in shock his own organs where so damaged that they were basically slowly killing him.
''it's the final stages of rubola disease'' akame said standing next to him ''the mother of the house loved observing the effects of poisons and diseases on the body which is why we killed her there's no saving him I'm sorry for your loss''.
''sen….sei'' ieyasu exclaimed weakly ''sayo she didn't give up in the end you should have seen her you would have been so proud so I also want to make you proud'' he said as he raised his fist ''at least in my final moments''.
He exclaimed as it fell lifeless to his side ''he kept himself alive purely on willpower'' akame said with a hint of respect.
''how the hell can people turn out like this'' he asked himself.
''lets go leone'' akame said turning to leave.
''hey why don't we take him with us'' leone said with a smirk as she walked towards harry.
''I mean we can always use more help around base'' she said as she grabbed into his jacket by the back of his holster and start to drag him of ''he's brave has and imperial arms and he is pretty skilled''.
''I agree he's pretty skilled'' she said with a small smile as she watched him trying to get out of leone grip.
''dammit let me go leone I have to bury them'' he screamed as he tried to get out of her iron grip.
''big brother…..please…..don't leave me'' he heard from the shack as he saw sayo lips moving slightly she wasn't dead he hadn't failed her.
''LET GO'' he said as he did something desperate.
''fuck'' leone said as she held her arms where harry had bit her to let her go with wide eyes 'did he know what he just did he marked me' she thought as she saw him cut down his sister who she saw was barely breathing.
''I knew you'd come back'' she said weakly as harry cut her down from the chains.
As he lay her down he immediately grabbed his pouch and pulled out a few files that contained phoenix tears.
''what are you doing if we want to save her we have to be quick'' said akame only to haver her eyes widen in surprise as she saw the wounds healing of everything the liquid fell on.
''what the hell is that'' leone asked in astonishment.
''I'll explain later for now please grab some files and put what's in it one the wounds that are bleeding the most'' he said as both of them nodded and started doing what he asked.
After a few minutes they had done enough to stabilize her so leone carried her as harry in exchange for a place he could properly treat her would come along with no resistance.
(two minutes later)
''your back'' the armored giant commented.
''we better get out of here soon'' the green haired boy commented as he held up a pocket watch.
''your late'' the pink haired girl screamed as she crossed her arms over her chest and a small glare aimed at them until she noticed the two extra editions that where with them ''and who the hell are those two''.
''I don't time to explain everything but they are our new comrades'' leone said with a smile ''the girl to probably if we can save her so lets get back to base on the double'' she said as she held on to sayo before she turned to the armored guy.
''bulat can you carry harry'' she asked to his surprise as he was picked up before he could protest.
''don't worry everything will be better soon'' he said with what harry would swear where flowers around him.
''operation complete lets return to base'' akame exclaimed as she raced over the rooftops as the rest of night raid followed after her.
Not knowing that the operation wasn't complete just yet.
(back at the sack)
There was dead silence near the shack only the fingers of aria corpse started twitching.
She was using all her will to keep clinging to life she didn't want to die she wanted to pay back the bastards that killed her and her parents.
As she opened her last good eyes she was surprised to see the first whip she ever used floating towards her.
As it was floating in front of her she saw a ghostly image of a monster that looked a bit like a gargoyle appearing in front of it.
It started speaking in some strange language but yet aria could understand it ''it seems you are the last I suppose you will do as my host'' it said.
And with those spoken words it turned into runes that flew into her body making her skin and hair regrow until it was like nothing happened.
''hahaha'' she giggled with her face in her hands ''yes with this power I can kill him'' she said as she looked up with a malicious smile showing that one half of her face was still badly burnt while the other half was fine while her eyes burned bright red with runes for a second before they returned to normal. (she basically looks like Harvey two face from batman)
And done man 12359 words not counting this message and the last chapter was also supposed to be in this chapter I made a good choice I think so ow harry met night raid and aria is alive possessed by a horror but alive
Let me know wat you want me to do with kurome and esdeath and I hope my muse will let me continue with this story soon.
