A/N: Hey everyone. Sorry for the extra-long update. Had to go through a few remissions (revisions) and decided to scrap an entire chapter. Two of them in fact and that's why it was taking a while for this update. Hope this is alright but I would rather continue to work on this story then focus on one chapter. Also to the guy who left the guest review, I really want to have that conversation with you if you ever log on or make an account because I don't respond to guest reviews. At the least the ones that keep asking me questions.

The Dragon of Night Raid

Mission Twenty Six: The Demon's Madness

Akame yelled as she ran straight at the Sklade. Once she came in close, Akame attacked from the side but the demon blocked the attack with her blade fingers. He then sent the assassin flying back but was able to land on the ground without a problem. She carefully studied her opponent. "Despite his thin frame, he is very strong. Seeing how both Leone and Wendy are lying on the ground, I can assume that he is one of the Tartaros demons. What concerns me the most is what if this demon is one of the stronger ones?" There was only one way for Akame to find out. She started to run but at a faster speed this time.

To her surprise, Sklade did the same thing. Once they came in close to each other, their attacks did hit each other but then quickly passed each other. They turned around and ran at each other again. They came in close again and this time, their exchange was a little bit longer with both attacking each other and blocking each other's attacks. During the exchange after Akame blocked the demon's next attack, Sklade sent a kick to the side where she was briefly open. The assassin saw the kick coming and blocked with her arm. That, however, didn't stop the attack as it sent Akame flying once again. This time, she hit the ground but quickly stood up. She could feel how much pain her arm was in. Akame opened and closed her hand to see if was working. "I can still use my arm but it won't take another hit like that." She looked over to Sklade. "One hit is all need to end this." The assassin rushed over to the demon at full speed.

"Human, pattern, predictable." Sklade did the same as well.

The two came in close and exchanged attacks once again but only faster this time. They quickly disengaged but came at each other again attacking one another. They repeated this pattern several times over. Finally, after the two separated after their last exchange, Akame decided to end this once and for all. Sklade thought the same. They ran at each other with their weapons ready. The two approached to each other and delivered one single attack one last time too quick for anyone else to see. They stopped when they passed each other and stood still. Akame was slightly out of breath. "Did I hit him? I can't tell."

"It looked like you hit him to me Akame."

Akame gasped at the familiar voice she heard. She looked in front to see an old face from her past. "It…can't be. Cornelia?"

Cornelia smiled at the other girl. "Hey there Akame. Long time no see. You're looking well."

Akame couldn't believe her eyes. Cornelia, a friend from her past couldn't be standing in front of her because she died.

"You look ravishing as always Akame. No, even more so."

She turned to where she heard another familiar voice. "Green?"

"More like she became a bit hotter if you ask me."

Akame turned around again to see yet another one. "Gai?"

"Hey, Akame! You look like you got a lot better."

She looked again. "Poney?

"Humph. No matter how much you improved, you'll still be nothing but a small fry to me."

Fear and confusion quickly spread throughout Akame's mind as she turned to the next familiar voice. "Najasho?"

She heard a giggle behind her. "Did you miss us Akame? I missed you a lot."

Akame turned the last voice. "Tsukushi?" She started to work back while looked at her former team. "This isn't possible. All of you aren't real. You're all…"

Tsukushi was hurt by her former friend's words. "How can you say that Akame? Don't you remember all the great times all of us had together?"

Akame couldn't understand what was happening. She wondered why she was seeing her old team. Her answer came in the form of a slight pain. Akame looked at her side to see a small injury on it. She looked at the demon who not only was looking back at her but not a hint of her attack was anywhere on his body. She brought her hand to her eye. "This must be his doing. These illusions are created by him. I have to snap out of it now."She applied pressure to her wound and winced at the pain.

"That won't work Akame." She saw Cornelia being near her with her skin being pale white and her eyes pitch black with blood like tears coming out of them. "We won't go away that easily. How about we catch up?"

Akame stepped back a few steps from what she was seeing. She looked all around to see the rest of her former team was looking the same way. The assassin suddenly felt like she hit something and looked behind to see another face from her past. "No…Martha…"

The older woman that same look and smiled at her. "Did you really think you can outrun your past Akame? We all know what horrible things you have done before. Killing me for example."

Akame's breathing was slightly becoming faster. "You truly have become a fine assassin Akame." She turned to the newest voice to see her "father" Gozuki in the same manner.

Irrational thoughts began plaguing her mind. "Quite the problem eh Akame?" She turned around again to see a not so familiar face. In fact, this person was a recent kill of hers. Head Hunter Zanku. He smiled at her. "Didn't I tell you a nice little chat would help drown out the voices? This madness you're feeling, doesn't it feel…delightful?"

The world around Akame began to darken a little and everything was beginning to be in negative colors. She didn't know what to think of anymore. "This isn't real. This can't be real."

"It is real Akame." The assassin looked over to Tsukushi who was smiling. "We're real and we won't stop until you become one of us. Go on, take that sword of yours and join us. We can be together like we were before."

While Akame was freaking out about she was seeing all of these faces from her past, Sklade was just watching his work while said girl was freaking out about illusions no else can see. Now that she was nice and frightened, it was time to finish this. He didn't have to worry about Wendy and Leone as they were taking a trip down the young dragon slayer's memory lane. He rushed over to her and prepped for the kill. However as soon as he came in close, a random shot intercepted and he backed off. Then he felt a punch to the back and sent him to the wall. The demon landed but sensed someone was up above and immediately jumped. Sure enough, Sklade was right and saw the attack tried to attack but hit the ground instead. The demon thought he was safe but was suddenly pulled down and slammed onto the ground. He groaned and saw the ones who were responsible for all of this. "Team, gathered, rescue."

The rest of Night Raid showed up just in time. After they were done, they quickly headed over to Akame's group like before but instead saw the demon going straight at their comrade. Mine glared at the demon. "Well, what do we have here? You must be one of those Tartaros guys Wendy told us about."

Lubbock saw how bad this situation was when he saw Akame and the others. "Hey, guys we got a problem. Akame is acting weird and Wendy and Leone aren't moving."

Tatsumi became visible. "You bastard! What did you do to them?!"

In Akame's state of mind, everyone was looking at them. "Oh, they must your new team Akame. So this is who you've been with." Poney stated.

"Question is are they going to die?" Gai wondered.

It was one Cornelia liked. "Ooh, good one. If they diehere, it'll be all your fault Akame."

"Then again it would be that young girl's fault as well since she was the one who brought him in the first place." Green pointed out.

"How would feel knowing you'll be responsible for their deaths Akame?" Najasho asked.

Akame closed her eyes and covered her eyes. "Stop it. That's not going to happen!"

Tatsumi ran over to her and grabbed Akame by the shoulders. "Hey, Akame. Akame! Snap out of it! What's gotten over you?" He had never seen his friend act like this before.

"Your words will never reach her." The rest of Night Raid looked around to see where they heard the voice. "I'm the one talking to all of you."

All of them look toward Sklade. Mine was slightly creeped out. "What the hell? How is he talking to us in our heads?"

Susanoo had an idea. "Perhaps it's communicating with us through some sort of telepathy."

The demon nodded. "You are indeed correct. I am Sklade of Tartaros and I only assume the rest of you are this Night Raid."

Lubbock scoffed. "You got that right. Mind telling us what did you do to our friend?"

Chelsea was worried about Leone and Wendy as well. She took a closer look at them and gasped quietly. "Something's wrong with Wendy and Leone! They're not waking up!"

Tatsumi growled at the demon. "No, it can't be. Are they-"

"The two aren't dead but will be soon enough." The team didn't understand what he meant by that. "The two over there are reliving the girl's memories. That's what I assume in case. Once they reach the end, both of their lives will come to an end. As for your other friend, she is inflicted by my madness curse. Soon enough the madness will drive her to end her own life just to silence the voices in her head. Only I have the power to stop it."

Tatsumi heard enough as he picked up Akame and jumped to Chelsea. He set his friend down beside her. "If that's the case, all we need to break this curse of yours is beat you." He turned to the demon. "You're going to pay for what you did to them."

Sklade didn't seem too worried. "As if humans like you will stand a chance against me." He looked over to Chelsea. "Out of all them, that girl is the weakest in their group. I will take her out first."

"Gee, thanks for letting us know." Mine spoke.

The demon was caught off guard hearing that. "What! How did you know what I was thinking?!"

The sniper expert groaned. "Because we can still hear your thoughts."

Sklade growled at her. "I thought I cut it off. I'll do so now. There. I may be the weakest in the group but even I can still take on the four that can fight. It won't be easy though."

"Oh, so you're the weakest. That makes things a bit easier." Lubbock pointed out.

The demon gasped. "How is that possible!? Can he read my mind?!"

Susanoo shook his head. "No, we can still hear your thoughts."

Mine facepalmed. "Wow, you're a dumbass."

Sklade roared. "Enough already! This is why I don't use telepathy much. No matter. Since all of you are here now, I can be rid of all of you!" A dark aura surrounded his body. All of Night Raid could sense how heavy the air had become now. "Witness, power, Tartaros…" Sklade's mask broke entirely and the dark aura enveloped him entirely while laughing. The aura began to fade away and saw that his body had changed. His face was covered with a black hooded cape that only covered his shoulders as well. His main body was all pale with visible signs of ribcage showing and red tribal markings all over his body. His pants were a black cloth as well and was barefoot. One thing that stood out was the large scythe he was carrying over his shoulder. There were two curved blades one end and three at the opposite side. "Etherious form…Demon Reaper." The feeling Akame had from before intensified.

The group didn't know what to think of what they were seeing. Only feel what was going on. "You guys feel that too right?" Lubbock asked.

Mine nodded. "Yeah. A really creepy cold feeling going down my spine." Tatsumi suddenly jumped at the demon and attacked him with his spear Neuntote. Sklade blocked it with his scythe. The pinkette couldn't believe he just did that. "What the hell are you thinking you idiot!"

He put all of his strength into his weapon. "We don't have any time being weirded out by his power! We're on the clock here! Wendy and Leone are finished if they ever get to the end and Akame won't snap out of this guy's spell if we don't do anything now!" Tatsumi felt like he wasn't getting anywhere with his attack.

Sure enough, the demon sent him back but landed on the ground. "As if mere humans can stand up against a demon. Let me show you the difference between us." He jumped up into the air and twirled his scythe. "Madness Swivel!" The blades on his weapon began to glow and swiped it down. A bright dark red light came out of the blades was heading over to the group in multiple spirals.

"Everybody move!" All of them did as Lubbock said and evaded the attack by moving to different sides While Chelsea grabbed Akame to the side with her to avoid the attack. The attacked went through the area behind them and exploded.

The group could only look in disbelief at when the saw the trail of destruction the attack left behind. "You got to be kidding me. This guy is supposed to be the weakest?" Tatsumi knew this wasn't going to be an easy battle but seeing just what one attack can do made him see how powerful at their opponent was.

Sklade landed on the ground. "Now do you see? What chance do you have when fighting against a demon of Tartaros?"

Chelsea hated to admit it but he was right. This was above of what they were used to. "This is insane. How can we compete against something like that?"

"If you think that'll be enough to scare us off, you got another thing coming." Chelsea looked over to Mine who giving off a smile. She pointed Pumpkin at the demon. "So what if you're a demon and we're just humans. Underestimate us and you'll be killed. All of us will be more than enough to take you down!"

The other three smiled at her words. "Mine's right." Tatsumi readied his weapon. "We'll show you what Night Raid is capable of!"

The demon was unimpressed by their words. "You humans are arrogant. I'll personally send all of you to the gates of hell!" He swung his scythe and a red light glowed from the blades. "Any who are under the influence of my Madness Curse will be rendered immobile and soon descend into utter despair!" The light glowed brighter. "Tri Maddening Cycle!" Sklade swung his scythe and three red crescent attacks came out of it all heading toward the group.

All of them dodged the attack and readied their counterattack. Tatsumi was the first to attack. "Take this!" He swung his spear at the demon but blocked with his own weapon. The attack was a bit stronger than the last one but still didn't move Sklade back. "Damn it. Not enough."

"You tried this before and it did not work. What makes you think it will this time?" His answer came in the form of an attack on the side by Susanoo and sent the demon flying into the air. He was suddenly stopped by being wrapped up in wire around his body. "What the?"

Lubbock smiled. "Now Mine!"

The pinkette powered up her weapon. "Got it Lubb! By the way thanks to your little transformation, my Pumpkin has become a lot stronger. Here want to see?!" She fired a powerful shot at the demon. Sklade yelled at the shot completely enveloped him and destroyed what was behind him. When it was over, there was nothing left. At least to Night Raid. Mine landed back on the ground. "Well, that easier than I thought. Guess that goes to show you that not even demons are a match for me and my Pumpkin."

Tatsumi groaned at her bloated ego. "Right, whatever you say Mine."

However, their victory was short-lived when Lubbock felt movement from his wires. "We're not done yet gu-ahhhh!" He was suddenly pulled over across to the other end of where his wires were at.

Sklade emerged from the ground with the wires still around his body and Lubbock was headed straight for him. "You're an annoyance." As soon he came in close, the demon kicked him in the center. The pain was present everywhere and Cross-Tail's wires loosened up.

Lubbock was sent back to his comrades and Tatsumi was able to catch him. "You alright Lubb?"

He just groaned. "I just got kicked in the stomach. What do you think? Still, I think it could've been a lot worse if I didn't have Cross-Tail's wires around my body."Both looked at the demon. "I knew taking the bastard down wasn't going to be easy but come on."

Sklade had assessed the situation. "The girl with the gun is the most dangerous here. Never have I felt such a powerful attack before. I'll end her first." He quickly ran over to where the sniper expert was.

The others saw what he was doing. Tatsumi looked over to her. "Mine, watch out!"

She didn't look too worried. "I got him."

The demon wasn't worried as well. "As if you can fire off a shot at this distance." He began moving side to side to make it even harder to hit.

Mine smiled at the effort. "You obviously don't know how well I can fight with this." Pumpkin powered up again and she fired off another shot. As she did, the pinkette moved her weapon to the side while the shot was going off.

Sklade was caught off guard by this tactic but was able to jump up into the air to avoid the attack. "What kind of a human fights with a gun like that?" He suddenly felt a powerful hit to the side and crashed into the ground. He stood up and saw who hit him. "This one will be a pain also."

Susanoo also prepped his weapon. Blades appeared out of the end and started rotating. He jumped over to the demon and swung his weapon at him but Sklade blocked it. Unlike before, he felt the power behind Susanoo's attack. "You're different from a normal human aren't you?"

The human Imperial Arms narrowed his eyes. "Of course I am. I'm an Imperial Arms." He managed to push back Sklade and pursued him.

Sklade managed to stop and intercepted another attack. Both began to exchange attacks. The demon was surprised his opponent could keep up with him. "How can a toy like you keep up with me?" The flurry of exchanges continued and there were literally no openings Sklade could use to attack and inflict his madness curse.

Tatsumi was very impressed at what he was seeing. "Oh wow. Su is keeping up with him. We may have a chance."

"What do you mean may?" He looked over Mine to see her charging up her Imperial Arms. "We totally got this."

Both Sklade and Susanoo were in a stalemate as either wasn't letting up. "How can there be a being that is equal to my Etherious Form?" Susanoo was about to reply but instead back off quite a distance. "What's wrong? Are you afri-AHHHH!" Mine's shot hit him again.

Said girl chuckled. "You're fighting against all of us remember?"

The demon groaned as he held his chest. "D-Damn it! You are starting to annoy me!" He felt a series of powerful punches strike his back and sent him flying in the air.

Tatsumi became visible again. "Welcome to our world." He jumped and was above the demon as he readied his spear. Tatsumi slammed his weapon at Sklade and crashed into the ground. "Go for it, Su!"

"Understood." The human Imperial Arms rushed over to the downed demon and attacked. However, his attack was blocked again by Sklade's own weapon.

The demon growled. "I will not be beaten by the likes of all of you!" He turned his body around and the other blades on his weapon managed to cut across Susanoo's upper chest. He jumped away and was waiting for his work to take effect. "Now experience madness like your friend from before!" Susanoo just stood still for about a few seconds until Sklade suddenly realized his curse wasn't working since the human Imperial Arms came at him again. Luckily he managed to block the attack but was confused at what happened. "No, it can't be! You were struck by my attack!"

Susanoo pushed on. "I thought I explained to you before that I'm an Imperial Arms. Ailments such as that have no effect on me."

As if that wasn't bad enough, Sklade saw the initial wound he inflicted before regenerated. That gave him a pretty good idea what he was fighting against. "You can heal yourself?" He shoved Susanoo away. "All of you have tried my patience long enough!" The red marks on his body began to glow as did his weapon.

Akame felt her head like it was going to split in half and screamed as she held her head. "Akame!" Chelsea grabbed ahold of her. "Akame! Hey, Akame! Get ahold of yourself."

"Akame! Akame! Akame!" The voices in her head became deeper and more demonic. Her former team surrounded her looking more twisted. All of their voices were mixed in together and talking at the same time.

"They're going die."

"It'll be your fault."

"You killed them like you killed us."

"You couldn't save them can you?"

"You will die like you deserve."

Akame didn't know how much more she could take. The constant reminding of her previous failures and mistakes. It was beginning to be too much for her. A red energy surrounded Sklade's weapon as he raised it high above him. "MADNESS DEVASTATION!" He slammed his scythe with the blades embedding into the ground. Out that, multiple pillars of red light erupted out of the ground. All of them traveled in a straight line and destroyed everything in their path. All the remaining Night Raid members could do was see the oncoming attack headed for them. The attack ravaged through the area behind them and then faded away. Once the attack was done, Sklade sighed as he saw his results. They appeared to be hit by his attack were lying down on the ground in different locations. He turned to Akame who appeared to be unconscious. "Time to finish this."

Speaking of her, she started to open her eyes. Her vision was blurry and couldn't make out what was what. She could only hear one more familiar voice. "Big sister…." Akame's vision began to focus and saw who looked like Kurome walking toward her. She was the same as the others with pale skin and bloody tears coming out of her pitch black eyes. "I'm coming for you, big sister. We can be together forever in the next life."

Akame groaned as she sat up only to stare at the apparition walking toward her. "Ku…rome…"

Sklade continued walking over to her and heard what she said. "Kurome…yes, that was the same human I had fought before. She too fell before my Madness Curse. I can only imagine what horrible images you have seen in the time since I've inflicted on you. It only gets worse if I ever enter my Etherious form." He stopped in front of her and raised his scythe. "You shall be the first of the casualties. Your friends will join you soon enough."

In Akame's eyes, it was Kurome who raised her sword to her. "Don't worry big sister, it'll be over soon enough. Nothing will hurt you ever again."

Akame breathing slightly heavy. All she could focus on was the Kurome in front of her. "Enjoy your trip to the netherworld." Sklade swung his scythe targeting Akame's neck. In the next second, a single sound echoed throughout the air. A scream could be heard. That scream belonged to Sklade as he felt Akame's sword pierce his chest. He grabbed it and removed it as the demon walked a few steps back."No impossible! You shouldn't be able to do anything like that!" The demon suddenly felt a strong pulse throughout his body. Markings began to appear all over his body. "What's happening? What's going on?!"

"It's Murasame's poison." The demon looked over to see Chelsea who was slightly damaged from the attack standing up. "Once that sword pierces the skin of its target, a deadly poison spreads throughout and killing them quickly."

Sklade was gasping now. "I am Etherious! A simple poison won't be enough to kil-" He suddenly felt something else pierce his back. He yelled and looked behind to see who the one who did it.

Lubbock smiled at his work of the spear he threw. He gave a sigh of relief. "Man, that was a close one. Even I thought I was going to die there for a second but as you can see, it's over now."

The demon roared. "Nothing is over! Not yet!"

"Sorry dude but it is." Lubbock countered. "As we speak, Cross-Tail is surrounding your heart. Even if you're a demon, I'm pretty sure you need vital organs to stay alive."

Sklade couldn't believe it. A bunch of humans has managed to get the better of him. "Like I told you loser…" The demon turned to see Mine being held by Tatsumi. "Underestimate us and you'll pay for it."

"Face it, you've lost." Tatsumi added.

Sklade bellowed at his situation. "Any last words you would like to say?" Susanoo asked as he was walking up to him. All Sklade could think of was one moment that started this all.

F

Sklade was all alone in a forest just aimlessly walking. Anything that was in his path was instantly cut down. It was like this for the past several months. He heard a branch being stepped on behind him and stopped. "Follow, reveal, now."

He heard a giggle. "Are you the talkative one."

The demon saw two figures walk out from behind the tree. He was surprised to see who they were. "Surprise, Tartaros, members."

Beatrice smiled at him while Syka remained indifferent. "Indeed we are. Allow me to introduce ourselves. I am Beatrice and my companion here is Syka. Would care to tell us your name?"

The other demon just looked at them. "Tartaros, member, Sklade."

The lead demon groaned as talking to Sklade was not going to be fun with the way he was speaking. "Fine then Sklade. I'll cut to the chase. I am looking for remaining remnants of Tartaros. Wouldn't you say it would be far better to be with others rather than yourself?"

Sklade gave a raspy breath. "Tartaros, whole, again?"

Beatrice nodded at the question. "You can say something like that. I know you still remember the purpose you are given correct?"

The other demon nodded. "Purpose, Zeref, return."

Beatrice approved of the answer. "Yes, that's correct. Join us and we will continue looking for others. What do you say?"

Sklade walked over to her. "Group, members, locate."

Beatrice chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes."

F

Night Raid heard Sklade laugh. "You truly are foolish humans. Do not let this one victory think you can best all of us. You have only begun to feel the wrath of Tartaros!" Lubbock heard enough and closed his hand.

B

Like before, Syka, Rugoro, and Beatrice felt pain surge throughout their bodies. Syka fell to her knees while clutching her chest. "No…not again…"

Rugoro roared at the pain. "Damn it! No! This can't even be possible!"

Beatrice yelled in pain. She breathed heavily as she clutched the top of her chest tightly. "No. It can't be. Twice already?" She and Esdeath were in front of the same portal that brought them to the island in the first place. Beatrice growled. "We have to return soon as possible. I've been away for too long now."

As Beatrice was walking toward the portal, Esdeath was curious as to who died in her group this time. "Something is going on with her group. What could've happened?" The two of them walked into the portal.

B

After Sklade fell to the ground, everything Akame saw suddenly cracked. Her old team had returned to normal and was smiling at her. "Everyone…"

Cornelia smiled at her. "Well…it was nice seeing you again Akame."

Green shifted his glasses. "It is a shame we have to part ways so soon."

Poney smiled at her as well. "I have to say this team you're on is pretty good. Hope they'll fair off better than we did."

Gai just scoffed. "Whatever. I bet we can take them on."

Najasho narrowed his eyes at Akame. "I say you improved since as a small fry."

Akame took one last look as they started to fade away. "Everyone…I never forgot about you. All of you did play a large role in my life and made me for who I am today. For that I thank you."

Tsukushi walked up to her and held her hand. "Akame…no matter what we're still your friends. I know you'll never forget that." She kissed Akame on the cheek. In the next second, everything shattered and the world returned normally to her.

The rest of her team was a bit worried that they saw her talking to herself. Tatsumi walked up to his friend. "Uh…Akame? Are you feeling alright?"

She looked over at him and smiled. "I'm fine. Just fine."

Tatsumi smiled at her. "That's good to know. We were a bit worried about you." He looked over to Wendy and Leone. "I just hope we weren't too late for them." Tatsumi ran over to them and inspected to see if they were alright. There weren't visible signs. "Come on wake up! We beat the guy already."

The others walk over to them as well and wondered if they were too late. Then Leone screamed and hit her head with Tatsumi's. She sat up and looked around. "What the! Who the! Where the hell am I?!"

"The hell sis!? You freaking hit my head!"

The blonde looked over to Tatsumi to him holding his forehead. "Tatsumi?" She looked at the others and saw they were here as well. "You're all here." She placed a hand on her own forehead. "Ah jeez, my head. I feel like I went through one hell of a trip."

"Along with you hitting the idiot's head." Mine added.

"Hey!"

They looked at the young dragon slayer. "What about Wendy?" Lubbock asked.

That brought Leone's attention and picked her as she shook her. "Wendy, wake up already! Wake up wake up wake up wake up!"

Apparently, that was enough for her. "Leone, stop already! I'm awake I'm awake!"

The blonde was she was told and sighed happily. She then hugged the younger girl into her breasts once again. "I'm so glad you're alright!" Everyone heard Wendy's muffled screams. A thought occurred to her. "Oh yeah, what happened to demon bastard? I really want to kill that guy for what he put through Wendy and me."

Mine pointed over to Sklade's corpse. "Oh, he's over there. We fought the guy and won. Wasn't easy if you ask me."

Wendy removed herself from the hug suffocation and gasped for air. "Wait, you beat him? Really?"

The rest of the team smiled at her. "Yep, sure did. Still, what we had to go through, yeesh." Tatsumi was sure he wasn't going to forget that fight for a while.

"In any case, let's head back to base. I'm sure all of you need a rest and something to eat." Susanoo guessed.

Everyone nodded at that. "I'll agree to that. Let's go home, everyone." Akame spoke. The group started to walk back to the base. While doing so, Leone had a lot to think about what she had just seen in Wendy's memories. It was an experience she'll never forget. Especially the part where the blonde saw Wendy wearing a unitard. Other than that, Leone really couldn't wait to tell the others what she saw.

Tartaros Members: Three

A/N: If any of you are wondering who the people are that Akame are seeing, they are characters from the prequel manga Akame Ga Kill Zero except for Zanku.
