Kill the Revenge
Chapter 4
"So your sister was Seryu?" Wave asked.
"Yes, and it was because of Night Raid's actions that she died." Iwo said.
Wave didn't say a word as Iwo continued to glare at him. The cut on his upper torso gave him a great deal of pain as he tried to resist from yelling. Nakori still stood frozen as Iwo slowly picked up Adayusu and gripped it tightly.
"And now, I will have my revenge by ending Night Raid's existence. Once and for all." Iwo coldly said as he brought the scythe down.
"I knew your sister!" Wave shouted as a last ditch effort.
Iwo stopped moving as the scythe nearly began to cut where Wave's wound was. Wave breathed heavy as Iwo decided whether to listen to him or not. Nakori looked at Wave, shocked that he knew someone as cold as Seryu. She remembers reading the files that most prisoners guilty of any crime, including false ones, were immediately executed by her and her teigu.
"You knew Seryu?" Iwo finally asked still holding the blade close to Wave.
Wave nodded his head prompting Iwo to remove the blade away from him so he may speak. Still gripping the scythe, Iwo allowed Wave time to clear his thoughts on what to tell the large man next. Nakori slowly began to feel her arms as she moved Extase and began shakily walking towards Iwo.
"I can get him while he's distracted." She thought.
Wave's eyes widened as he stared her down trying to tell her not to go through with her plan. Confused, she tried to read his eyes to realize Iwo was aware of her presence. Looking at Iwo, she could tell he still had an eye on her even while waiting for Wave to speak.
"Speak now or I'll just end you right away." Iwo demanded.
Akame quickly dodged Suzuki's long fingernails as she quickly assaulted the red-eye assassin. Running to a tree, Akame jumped off it, using the momentum to try a stab at Suzuki only to miss and get kicked into the ground. Before Suzuki could land another blow, Run threw several feathers at her, causing her to dodge and focus her attention on him.
"You guys just don't know when to give up. Do you?" She smirked as she dodged another wave of feathers.
"Akame, we need a new strategy." Run implied as Suzuki jumped into the trees for cover.
Akame nodded her head and ran into the trees with Run following from above. Looking around, Akame could see several scratch marks, from Suzuki's nails, in the tree branches. From above, Run looked around but saw no sign of any movement from the tree line.
"I can't find her." Run said as he circled the area.
"I can't sense her presence." Akame said.
Run landed back down on the ground near Akame as she stayed in the tree's. Both were dumbfounded on how Suzuki got away so easily and with no sign of which direction she went.
"Come on." Run told Akame as he started walking back. "We should help Wave and Nakori out."
Akame nodded her head as she sheathed her sword and started sprinting back to Wave and Nakori.
In the distance, high up in the mountains, a man holding a telescope peered down on the two assassins running back for their comrades. A large smile covered his face as Suzuki slowly approached him. Her arm sleeves were ripped and had several twigs in them as she stood next to the smiling man.
"It seems Night Raid is a worthy opponent." The man assumed as he folded the telescope.
"They are and everything checks out in the reports for both Akame and Run." Suzuki said. "Both highly skilled fighters alone and in teamwork."
"And the other two?" The man asked.
"Iwo isn't back yet."
"I see. Well, he has a few more minutes until we leave so let's enjoy the fun while it's still going."
"Yes, sir!" Suzuki exclaimed.
"I was in the same group as Seryu and our objective was to hunt down Night Raid." Wave said as he clenched his chest. "Although we suffered heavy casualties we've managed to take down two of their members and destroyed both of their teigu's."
Nakori shook as Wave continued speaking on how he began to talk about what Seryu has done during her time as a member of the Jaegers. Iwo didn't seem too pleased as Wave stated clearly his opinions on her as well, even prompting him to lift his scythe in the air.
"That's all I remember about Seryu and what I thought about her." Wave said sorrowfully.
Iwo didn't speak, his eyes were dark with anger as he slowly brought his other arm to his scythe and prepared to slam it down on top of Wave. Wave closed his eyes as the scythe came down on him only to hear the sound of it hitting a piece of metal. Opening his eyes, Akame was standing in front of Wave, blocking Iwo's attack.
"Akame." Wave mumbled.
"It's alright. I won't let him hurt you." Akame reassured the injured man as she pushed Iwo back.
Iwo charged Akame only to be blocked by Nakori who finally could move easily on her own again. Her eyes brimming with determination to defeat the large man. Angered by another block, Iwo jumped back and slashed the air, causing ripples to shoot at Akame and Nakori only to be blocked by Extase.
"Give it up." Nakori said as she pointed Extase at Iwo. "There's four of us and only one of you."
Iwo didn't say a word as he silently sheathed Adayusu on his back and jumping into the trees. Akame immediately chased after him as Nakori ran over to Wave to tend to his wounds. Run flew in the sky but found no signs of Iwo anywhere.
"Gone, just like Suzuki." Run commented as he landed on the ground.
"We'll have to leave." Akame stated as Nakori helped Wave up. "How are your wounds?"
"Take a lot more to take me out like that." Wave tried playing cool only to clench his chest.
"Come on, we need to get you bandaged up." Nakori said as she helped him back to the hideout.
"So how was the warm-up?" The man asked Iwo as he approached him and Suzuki.
"I don't believe that man was fatally wounded but managed to distract me long enough for the other two to arrive." Iwo said as he kneeled.
"I see." The man noted before walking passed Iwo. "Come, we're headed back to the base."
"Yes, sir." The two replied.
