Chapter 4: Hail To The Demon King
(Opening A/N: Okay for guest #1, I'm going to go with the Blood Piercer as the name of Jiulan's Teigu and it can also pierce through the toughest of armor, and to guest #2, There will be romance in here, but not just between Akame and Revy, have you forgotten this guy here, me? I was aiming for a love triangle to spice things up so yeah, thanks for all of your support, and keep those reviews coming! I don't know about you guys but I'm geared up for some more ass whooping! So here we go with another chapter and I hope this will Rev up some excitement.)
[Jiulan's "palace"]
The Empress had overthrown one of the major crime syndicates and it turned out to be the Italians, she had all of the Mafia members lined up on their knees as she had her Teigu Blood Piercer drank a puddle of blood and she cocked the hammer on her Teigu and pointed it at the leader, aiming for his neck.
"Do you have any final words before you die?" Jiulan asked, and the leader began to speak in his native tongue.
Spero di vedere una morte raccordo, fottuto cagna! [Translation: I hope you see a fitting death, you fucking bitch!] He said as she squeezed the trigger and sent a powerful blast from her weapon which could rival that of a .357 magnum hand cannon, the blast ripped right through the guy's neck as his head was decapitated from his body.
"I'm sorry I don't speak your language, besides, you're just in my way. Now as for you, I have a proposition for you, either you can work with me, or you could end up just like your boss. What's it going to be?" Jiulan said, she had her men train their guns on the others as Jiulan dipped her pistol in the blood as she got ready for another kill.
"We'll work for you, and our allegiance is with you." One member said and this just put a smile on her face.
"Perfect, now, we've got work to do." Jiulan said, she then hummed as she tapped her loaded Teigu against her shoulder, she knew that her work was going to be long and gruesome.
[Meanwhile with the main characters, Hotel Moscow HQ]
It seemed that the devil wanted her favorite demon to come to her, you know how they say that the devil has cloven hooves and carries a pitchfork with bat wings, horns, and red skin, well not this devil, this devil is white, scarred all over her body, blonde haired, and is a Russian woman who goes by the name Balalaika.
We got stopped by her second in command, comrade sergeant Boris, he had to pat us down for extra caution, which kind of seemed stupid to do, but it was all due to the fact that there were a lot of attempts on Balalaika's life, and he had to make sure that out of the four of us, no one had intent to kill Kapitan, I mean my ass has been branded by Hotel Moscow for life.
"I'm sorry, I'm only obeying Kapitan's orders." Boris said as he patted me down and stripped me of all my weapons.
Followed by Akame and finally Revy, I don't know why, but I usually feel naked without my weapons, but we needed Balalaika's support.
"I'd knew that you'd return." Balalaika's voice filled the room as she walked up to the three of us, she smoked her cigar and had that evil smile on her face.
"And I'm glad to be back as well, ever since that chick Jiulan decided to call herself Empress of Roanapur." I said, and she placed a picture flat on her desk as I began to look at it, it showed a man wearing a hat decorated with human teeth mostly cuspids he had long raven hair, he also had a pair of steel gray eyes and his face had been covered with scars, worse than Balalaika's.
"This is your target, they call him Hex." Balalaika said, and he looked like a drifter out of a spaghetti western movie, or like Alucard from Hellsing.
He even had a pair of western revolvers which seem like they can do some serious damage.
"And who's this fine fellow?" Balalaika asked noticing my "Brother" Takashi.
"That's my 'brother' Takashi O'Neill, and he's a member of the Irish Mob we work for." I said, and she just gave that evil smile that she was known for when she was in a war situation.
"But yet, you don't look anything alike, are you sure you're brothers?" Balalaika asked, and our bond between each other runs deep.
"We both have a bond deeper than friendship, so we decided to become brothers, sort of like how Revy calls you 'Big sis.'" I stated, and she knew now why we happen to call our bond "Brotherhood."
Takashi kept his cool and gently took Balalaika's hand as he gently kissed it showing a sign of respect to her.
"Enchente." Takashi said, being a total gentleman, and the Russian took a small drag from her cigar and let out a puff of smoke.
"It's not everyday that you're greeted by a gentleman." Balalaika said, and I just cleared my throat. "Did you want something?" She asked me as she stared her icy blue eyes at me.
"Yeah, what's our first move?" I asked, and she began to chuckle at what I just said, I was really itching for some action.
"Alright, it turns out that one of my sources has informed me that this 'Empress' has just overthrown the Italians and are using their mansion as the new palace for her royal army to gather and set up shop." Balalaika said, and I really don't care about the Italians since they have met a bittersweet end, but seeing that Jiulan is intending to take out all of her opponents, including Balalaika just made me want to take up arms.
We had a goal, it was to kill Jiulan and topple her little empire, but seeing her kind of made me think what is her connection to Akame?
"What's the plan sis?" Revy asked, and Balalaika had only goal in mind…
"Word is, she's taking over all of the operations from the Italians, and she's even using the survivors as soldiers for her cause, if we cut off the flow of money and supplies, then her little empire will fall, also try to kill the generals as well." Balalaika ordered, and without hesitation, we had a goal and now we needed to execute it.
[Now to bring in one of the powerful generals…]
Sitting in a dark room, with the flicker of a single wax candle, the top general known as Hex was cleaning his teigu, named Scythe and Willow, they're a pair of powerful revolvers, which can pierce through the toughest of armor and still kill a person.
As soon as he had both of his guns cleaned, he began to insert the human teeth as bullets, just then a portal opened and a loyal soldier came through it to collect general Hex.
"General Hex, Empress Jiulan wants to see you." The soldier said, Hex closed both of his guns and slid them into the holsters as he followed the soldier through the portal.
As soon as both men came through the portal, Jiulan had her two loyal gimps kneeling down as she sat on a throne made of solid gold, decorated with soft cushions and lots of pricey gems worth over $1 million.
"You have asked for me, Empress?" asked Hex as he kneeled down in front of the powerful woman.
"As a matter of fact, I have. There's a thorn in my side, and I need you to deal with them, his name is Roman, and he also works for someone called Balalaika. See to it that they no longer issue a threat to this new empire of ours." Jiulan ordered, and Hex just nodded knowing that this was no picnic.
"And what about Akame?" Hex asked her, and she spat on the floor.
"Kill her as well." She ordered, and Hex summoned 14 portals bringing out 14 other loyal followers of the empress who wore hoods to conceal their identities.
"I need you all to make sure that no harm becomes of our empress, any would be assassin trying to take out the empress must be shown no mercy, otherwise, I'll show you no mercy." Hex stated and the other 14 loyal followers acknowledged their general's words as they all saluted him by holding their bent arms up and nodding at him.
They all began to scatter all over Roanapur looking for us, we were standing in front of a weapons cache which formerly was under the control of the Italians, but now Jiulan has control over, and that would explain how some of the loyalists have control over the guns and how some of the empirical soldiers and mercenaries use them against us.
"What do you propose?" Akame asked, and I had to go with a kill box idea, then we could destroy the guns sending a message to Jiulan that we're here to stay and the true king...the demon king, me, has come back for his crown.
"We kill off these bastards and destroy all the guns so they are left crippled." I said and this just put a smile on Revy's face.
The outside was lightly guarded, so Akame did the honors of taking out the guards which were an embarrassment since she cut them with her Murasame and the poison of her blade did the work as they all had markings appear, and they died within a matter of seconds.
I pulled out my AR-15, Takashi had his SCAR-L carbine, and Revy had both of her sword cutlasses, Akame cut down the door with a slash of Murasame and I grabbed a pipe bomb tossed to me by Takashi as I tossed the sucker in and it exploded with a cloud of fulminated mercury.
I grabbed my MP3 player, and decided to listen to some music, my song of choice, "Hail To The King" by Avenged Sevenfold.
As the music began, I cocked the rifle and began to shoot for the fences as soldiers began to charge at us and this was like shooting fish in a barrel.
The shots didn't phase them, and this was unlike me to not hit anything, of course I'm still a little rusty since the last time I was in Roanapur...
The soldiers, mercenaries, and other loyal members of Jiulan began to shoot at us, and this caused us to run to cover so we don't get hit, Akame began to deflect the bullets with Murasame, and I hid behind a crate of guns, waiting for a chance to fight back.
(Come on, come on, come on!) I thought as the sounds of footsteps drew closer to me, and the sounds of changing mags meant the enemy were reloading their guns, I popped out of cover, and began to shoot again, this time, I scored a direct headshot on a mercenary as he dropped to the ground dead I even dropped four more with four well placed headshots and now I was getting back in the groove.
Revy had to be a glory hog and started to drop bad guys by shooting them while doing an acrobatic leap into the air and began to shoot bad guys, the bullets ripped through the men as they were killed from Revy's guns.
Takashi had his gun in hand as he began to pick off some of the guys and kept moving, the first mercenary had Takashi's gun put under his chin as Takashi pulled the trigger and blew his brains out, Takashi then pulls out a Bowie knife and tosses it at another soldier as the knife is planted into the dude's neck causing him to bleed out.
Akame finished off the survivors, and there was an evil cackle coming from somewhere…
"Now it's time for the real show to begin!" Said the hooded figure as he appeared coming out of a portal and he summoned a pair of scimitars out of a pair of flames.
"Hail to the demon king." I said, as I was ready to fight the crazy son of a bitch, so I cracked my knuckles and got ready for a fight.
"What was that?" Asked the loyalist as he placed his hand over ear, and this was where I made a stand.
"I said, 'Hail to the fucking demon king, for he has come back for his crown." I said, the loyalist shot a flame circle around me and him as we were about to commence a fight to the death.
The Loyalist grabbed his robe and removed it…
[To Be Continued…]
(A/N: Well guys, sorry for the cliffhanger, but I'd like to take a moment to address Scorpion, Jiulan's Teigu "Blood Piercer"
doesn't form in blood, it uses blood as a form of ammunition, and the more blood she has for it, the more power she has in that
shot and the gun can hold up to a gallon of blood, and with that, between a pint and a gallon of blood, it could rival a .357
magnum hand cannon shot. But all in all, keep those reviews coming, I still need names for the other followers of Jiulan and to
the guest that came up with General Hex, thanks, he's going to be the male equivalent of Esdeath. I'm also looking for more
faves and follows too, so more love for this is needed, also for all Akame Ga Kill fans, check out Chance Green G King's
story, Dark Watch 's a good read, I'm also planning on adding some romance and a lemon next chapter, and I hope to
get more ideas for future chapters as well, and until the next update this is the master of chaos, the commander of the legion of
corpses BloodyDemon666 signing off!)
