"Its not often a new recruit is gifted in combat or even owns a Teigu" Said Najenda, she thinks for a moment, wondering what assignment to give them, she blows a cigar as her metal arm crushes it afterwards "How about we see what he can do, there is a bandit fortress not too far away, why not you all wipe them out, they have been interfering with some of our operations". A few minutes later they arrive at an old fortress larger than an average sized one, as the team stood outside the gates Akame walks forward and unsheathes Murasame "Alright, follow my lead", she turns to see Bualt activate Incursio, Leone use her transformation, and Mine reload Pumpkin, then Hunter unsheathes his Sword. The gates open then the bandits spot them "Over there, fire!" bullets shoot at their direction, Akame jumps up and cuts 3 of them swiftly, as they look at their arms covered in black markings, their blood splatters and they fall to their deaths, Hunter charges into a group of them but he jumps over them and begins attacking, he fights 2 of them and cuts their throats, one tried to choke hold him but Hunter elbows his stomach and stabs him. Mine snipes some of them and more bandits storm outside, a lot of them were heavily armored and carried 2 handed weapons, Leone turns to Hunter then asks "Why not you show us what you can do?", He points his sword up and the Golden Armor is unleashed. Everyone takes a glance at him then Bulat begins to smirk under Incursio's mask "So that's the Golden armor", Hunter charges and cuts almost half the bandits in half with one swift swing, they try to damage him but he quickly dodges and counter attacks rapidly, a bandit tried to shoot him but Hunter throws his sword and cuts his head off, the sword returns back to his hand, all the bandits begin to retreat but Bulat cuts them down with a spear like halberd. Akame notices all of Hunter's fight and watches, a giant armored humanoid Danger beast begins to rise from the ground and roar, Hunter gets into his stance and jumps to it, the beast tried to punch him but Hunter landed on his arm, he cuts off it's arm then flips up to its head, Hunter begins to roar as he makes a final flip and cuts the beasts body in half Vertically. Behind the dust he reverts to normal as he walks towards the Team, he sheathes his sword while looking straight forward, most of the team claps and Bulat congratulates him "Well done buddy, you managed to show us the true power of your Imperial arms, and your normal strength", Mine begins to warm up and grin "It's good to have a skilled fighter from the start, would have been a pain if we had to train you" then she laughs, Hunter smiles back and looks at the sky "Thanks, it's a pleasure to be around nice people for once, after years of dealing with scum".

As everyone else walks back to base Akame jumps down and sits on the grass "Hunter, can we talk for a moment?" she asks, Hunter glances down at her and sits beside her "Alright, so what is it?", they look at the nice blue sky, Akame puts her weapon down as she looks towards him "So how did you get so strong, what type of training did you do?", Hunter lays his arm on his leg and responds to her "Well, I have been training in swordsmanship ever since I was 6, the training was fatigue Inducing….but I think I need to be more Comfortable before I can go into detail". Akame stares at him for a brief moment and wispers to herself "6 years old, that's very young to start training", she thinks about her training then she smiles "That's impressive", Hunter watches the sky then looks around "Hey Akame, Have you lost anyone close before, you don't have to go into detail, but…." Akame's eyes grew and she looks down staring "Y-yes….", Hunter notices the pain she must feel by her body language so he slowly pats her back "It's ok, your not the only one, how about…I make you a promise" Akame slowly looks at him and stares into his eyes "A-a promise?" .

Hunter begins to smile and tilts his head "Yes, I promise that I will survive, and make sure you never experience the pain ever again", Akame begins to smile more and starts to shake a little, She thinks then starts to form tears out of joy "Thanks Hunter, that means a lot". As hunter stands up She touches his arm "Wait….can I tell you something too?" then he turns his head "Sure", Akame keeps the smile on her face then clenches her fist "How about I make you a promise too, I promise to always be by your side, and to make sure you never feel lonely". Hunter looks at her with a surprised look and She touches his shoulder "You must feel really alone here, nobody knows you or cares about you, they must treat you like trash and will make your life absolutely miserable, well no longer, I will do my best to make you happy", he looks into her red eyes and smiles "Alright", Lubbock shouts from a distance "Hey, we can't wait any longer, we got to tell boss the mission is complete!", Akame turns to him and still has a smile "Let's go", they approach the team and begin to go back home.

Meanwhile in the mountains there stood a young man with semi-Long blond hair and green eyes, he wore a white trench coat and carried 2 daggers "Ah the Imperial Capital, now where can I find a place to join the army…".

3 days later in the afternoon Everyone was eating their lunch, Najenda notices Akame watching Hunter as he trains outside, she still eats then implies "It seems that Akame has taken a liking to him, interesting", Sheele nods and fixes her glasses "This might be healthy for her, she is usually alone so it's nice to see her hanging out with someone". "Man…he's lucky" Lubb suggests while eating chicken, Mine pouts and replies "Well unlike you he actually has charm", Lubb growled and points at her "Hey, im a pretty good looking guy myself too", Mine smirks and takes a sip of water "Like anyone would be attracted to a perv like you" Lubb begins to bang his head on the table, Sheele looks around and asks "Has anyone seen Leone, where did she go?" Mine responds as she puts her plate away "I think she is at that one café area, she usually goes there to take a break from the Alcohol" she returns to the table and scratches her head "Maybe later I can go shopping".

Hours later before sunset everyone is gathered up at the meeting area, Najenda rests her arm on her chin "We have a new target, a wealthy family is rumored to keep torture Victims in their storage room, kill all the family members including any guards in that house and report back when your done", Hunter begins to scratch his head and asks "Why is there so many Maniacs in this city", Bulat responds with a serious face "We do not know, there are many people with hearts worse than any danger beast and we just can't figure out why, what's the pleasure in hurting other people, why is it satisfying to them, we just have no idea". Akame nods and turns around "Agreed, people enjoy seeing others suffer for unknown reasons, but we will silence them and bury them to their graves", Hunter slowly nods back and puts his hands in his pockets "I think people like that don't deserve a grave" Akame looks back and smiles while she puts her coat on "True". As everyone gets ready to leave Bulat Activates Incursio "The Boss wanted me to take charge this time", as he cracks own bones without hurting himself he punches his fists together and eagerly announces "Now let's teach these scum a lesson", Everyone jumps down and begins to run to the location, in the distance everyone can see a mansion with a bunkhouse next to it, "Lubbock, you begin to make a platform mid-air with your strings, Mine, you stay there to snipe, Sheele and Leone, kill the main targets inside, Akame and Hunter, your with me killing the guards" Bulat ordered.

Meanwhile Night Raid stood on top of strings Mid-air looking down at the house, Sheele and Leone jump off and land on the roof, Mine crouches and aims, as a guard gets sniped many more were alerted, Hunter jumps off and lands in front of them with his sword unsheathed, he looks up and simply gives them a death stare. He begins to kills them with each swing and kicks any guard who gets close to him, Akame and bulat jump down and assist him. Akame begins to dodge bullets and cut many guards with her cursed blade, eventually she reaches the area near the bunkhouse and sees one of the targets, Aria, she kills all the guards near her and begins to point her blade at Aria "Eliminate…", she swiftly cuts her throat and the girl falls down to a quick death, but Akame hears something in her left ear, slow footsteps, she turns to see the young man with the white trench coat, he slowly takes out his daggers and speaks "You must be Night Raid". Akame grips murasame tightly and prepares for a fight "Yes, and you aren't a target, there is no need for you to die..", He begins to laugh and quickly frowns "For some people, death is a blessing", Akame frowns back and points her blade at him, the man moves around "Now I, Amond, will slay you and Night Raid for the honor of the Empire!" then he points his daggers on each side of him. White circles hit him and he transforms, He now wore Knight Armor similar to Hunter's but distinct, the Armor was Silver and metallic with no cape, it was bulkier and the pauldrons were more spiked, the wolf helmet looked more vicious, snout was slightly slanted up and the eyes were a Glowing Emerald Green color, the daggers were now more thick and resembled scimitars. Akame was in shock and Amond gets into his stance "But you also may call me….Silver Knight Zoro!", Akame charged at him and rapidly swung at him, but he stood motionless and kicked her away "And I thought you were the one cut killer". Akame begins to frown intensely and sees Amond charge up close with a strike which she luckly deflected, as she blocked the attacks she was getting pushed back and eventually gets knocked onto a tree, she falls and coughs out blood, Amond begins to laugh and points his blade once again "Night Raid, what filthy assassins do you carry in your ranks, do you enjoy killing the people of the empire, hearing their cries for mercy and do you let them live, NO!, you just kill them, and watch them bleed to death with your emotionless faces, or even worse, with a grin, Night Raid is just full of sick sadistic people who care nothing more than to get a thrill for murder". Akame never felt this enraged before, she jerks her head up with a furious face and charges straight at him "SHUT UP!", she rapidly swung at him, tried to get an opening of the armor, but the Armor's Defence was strong, she yelled and managed to pierce at least one of the suits weak points, Amond jumps back and stares, Akame tried to cut him but she gets kicked back. She begins to breath heavily and is weakened, Amond gets into a wolf like crouch and utters a sentence "Now, Cease!", before he could make a move he notices Hunter jumping from the air and landing in front of Akame, Amond was surprised "Hunter!?", Hunter looked back and was his eyes grew in shock "Amond?". Akame looks at him and reaches out for him "Hunter, please be careful, he's strong", Hunter nods and looks back at Amond with a frown "Now you will face the Divine light….of Garo!", he points his sword up and summons the Golden Armor upon himself, he gets into his stance and waits "Its time I put you to rest…..Old friend…", Amond Growls and gets back into his wolf stance "You work for Night Raid now huh, I will be sure to bury your body down to the deepest depths of hell…..Old Friend", Akame stared at them in shock, discovering a piece of Hunter's Past, She remained on the grass and thought "These 2 were once friends?", she started to get worried and shaked "Hunter, i…wonder what kind of horrible things you been though.., and please be careful".
