Akame ga Kill: True Revolution
By: Terrence Noran
Chapter 25: Kill the False God II
Stylish's massive form was still burning the forest down, irritated that he hasn't spotted Night Raid or even the other ones yet. "COME OUT YOU FUCKING WORMS SO I CAN SQUASH YOU!"
Burning Striker!
A massive fireball hit Stylish in the back, forcing him to his knees. He looked up and saw Shiira, who was still floating around and also raised his sword in the air.
Great Infernal Blade! Shiira rushed forward, slashing Stylish's chest which destroyed the flamethrower nipples.
"OWWW! THAT HURT, YOU FUCKING SHIT FLY!" Stylish proceeded to reveal himself from a center point in its chest. He looked like he was attached to the giant due to the tubes stuck to his back. "Oh, I was gonna enjoy killing you. But now...NOW, YOU'RE PISSING ME OFF!" He commanded the giant arms to try swatting Shiira out of the air, but failing because of his opponent's size and speed which let's him dodge or block the attacks sent at him.
As much as Shiira could keep stalling Stylish, he knew that his limit is near. Veins became visible on the side of his neck, nearing his face: a sign that he needs to revert out of the second stage. 'Aria, whatever plan you have, use it now.'
With Aria
Aria looked up and grit her teeth. She knew that Shiira's second stage will put a massive strain on him...or anyone else for the matter. She cannot join Shiira in her second stage, as it will risk her entire life. She then looked to Night Raid, especially Tatsumi...thinking up of a plan.
"Won't you help them, like you failed to help me?"
Her eyes widened at that voice and turned around to investigate, but it was a tree right behind her. She suddenly heard them say something.
"We should help him.", Lubbock said.
"How?! Stylish is all the way up there! How do we get there?!", Tatsumi yelled.
"I'll do it."
They looked at the origin of the voice, Aria.
"I'll help you...get up there. But, this is one time. We can't offer any more assistance.", the former noble added.
"Don't lie to them, Aria-chan. I know you want to."
She gathered as much power as she could, forming both her hands in the shape of a circle. Airspace: Bubble! A smaller dome formed around the Night Raid crew, encapsulating them, and closed in front of them. Airspace: Floating Bubble. The dome lifted off the ground, Night Raid in it and flew up in the air.
"There and done." Aria dropped her hands and leaned against the tree. 'The bubble will automatically float until it lands on that bastard's shoulder. They should take him out easily.'
"Are you sure about that?"
That voice again. Why did it appear now, of all times? A familiar feminine figure appeared beside her.
"Get out of my head."
"Getting rid of me...just like your mother?"
"It was my mission. I didn't want you to die."
"What about Ieyasu? Did you want him to die, Aria-chan? Did you?!"
"Just...get out of my head, Sayo."
"Why? Does it bother you that I'm here? We both know that I'm simply a constructed manifestation of your guilt...yet, you're running away from it."
"You want me to face him? To face Tatsumi, and watch him kill me and succeed, don't you?"
"I never said anything about him killing you, that's just an added bonus. What I truly want is to break you. I want to break you like how I was broken after being tortured in front of you."
Aria gripped her head in pain, and took a deep breath. She blinked slowly and saw no one there, just herself.
"Fucking hell."
With Night Raid
"We're so high right now.", commented Mine. "I guess having them help us is great and all...but do you think..Never mind."
The group watched the aerial battle going on, but on of them noticed something.
"Look.", said Lubbock, pointing out in the distance, which caused the others to do as he said. "Stylish is right outside! And completely defenseless! We're gonna have a easy ti-"
"This won't be easy.", Akame said.
"What? Why would you say that?", Tatsumi asked.
"While there's guarantee that we will land near him, we cannot tell if he would notice us once we have landed. There needs to be a plan involved."
"Well, a few minutes wouldn't hurt."
Somewhere in the distance
"Well, that's proof enough. Night Raid's working with Renegade..." A white spiky-haired man with a mechanical eye and an eyepatch looked over the scene before him. "...wonder what he thinks about this?"
"Probably sit back and make us do more of his bidding...or actually get off and do something that fucks everyone over, you get what I'm feeling over here, right Azhi?", a green haired man said, who was sitting near a tree in a cross-sitting position wearing what looks to be a grey toga with a yellow sash around his waist.
Azhim Makir
Teigu: Left Eye of the Benevolent God: Providence
?
"You seem to be enjoying Nature, asshole. I don't see you working with me or something, Nobak."
Nobak
Teigu: The Everlasting Forest: Selvan
"Enough, both of you.", a black haired woman appeared. She wore a black cloak that covered up most of her body, except for her hands. They were golden and appeared to not be armor, but as if it was a part of her. She put her hands on her hips and looked at them with a disappointing look on her stoic face. "Report."
"Why should I say it to you and not him?", Azhim asked.
"I am his second-in-command...so I get the same info as what you two would in any situation, do you understand?", she said, her amber eyes glowed menacingly. The two men grew a bit nervous and apologized in their own ways.
"Okay, d-don't set thi-this p-place on f-fire. We got it!", stuttered Azhim.
Novak shrugged his shoulders before looking away and said, "Yeah, sure...whatever." He then looked back at her. "So, how are gonna tell him 'bout this?"
"They may look like they are working together, but in truth, they are not. They are helping because they want the identity of their infiltrator to be kept secret from the Empire. However, I, myself, do not know of his identity. But, what I do know is that Renegade seems to find this infiltrator rather interesting, so to speak."
"For?"
"I do not know. However, from what I can sense from him, his Teigu may be the case. Although it has not fully evolved yet, I sense that it has potential."
"Hey, what about that other Bio-Teigu?", Azhir asked. "Should we be worried about it?"
"My brother is neither my nor your concern. He does not pose a serious threat, even with his Trump Card. For now, we must report back to Master Markhus."
The two got ready in front of her, ready to leave.
"Well, it was fun watching a decent fight. I got everything I needed to know.", Azhir said, tapping his left eye.
"I'll create the way out, Amaterasu.", Nobak said as he shifted the position of the trees in front of them.
Judgement of the Black Flame: Amaterasu
Second-in-Command of Paragon
"Good."
A/N: The end of the second part of the entire fight, and the third and final part will come after this. Short things to discuss, Aria does hear and see Sayo...but she isn't a ghost...rather she is her guilt and regret personified. The main reason why this chapter took so long was because of the fact that I had to introduce Paragon, Markhus' group. They're the "good guys" who do "good things" for the sake of evil. We also get introduced to Amaterasu, a humanoid biological teigu and Susanoo's sister. She's far stronger than her brother and she is one of the few characters that can make Tatsuya fight seriously. So anyway, what do you guys think? Read, Review, Critic, and Comment without bullshit. Have fun and enjoy.
I don't own Akame ga Kill, only the OCs.
