Chapter 29 kill the catch-up
(The Capital)
After Raiden used his teigu Gaia's Force to create a ramp for him to use to drive away from the Arena. Raiden knew that he had to think of a plan to get back to Night Raid as soon as possible. Because Raiden suspects that General Esdeath and Yashan have made it back and Raiden needs to see how much has happened and what needs to be done. After taking a quick look around of the district, Raiden decided to drive forward at full speed. While secretly happy that he doesn't have to worry about anything regarding the traffic laws.
"Hal, you're going to have to take the wheel in a few seconds. I have to get off and make sure that nobody follows us while making sure the trail disappears." Raiden told Hal as he was driving
"But Raiden, I don't know where the Hideout is." Hal told Raiden in a concerned tone
"I'll show you how to get to the Hideout is Hal." Akame told Hal in a concerned tone while hanging on to Wolf because of Raiden's driving
"Then its settled, oh and by the way make sure that nothing happens to the goods in the back." Raiden said before he jumped out of the door and into the streets as Hal was taking the wheel. After Raiden jumped out, he saw a small group of soldiers approach him while wielding their weapons.
When Raiden looked at them, he mentally chuckled at how screwed they are. Last time Raiden was in the Capital, he killed one of their Generals and was able to fight their strongest on equal footing. While he was in his home world, Raiden was able to get stronger with his new teigu, have his sword get reinforced and upgraded, and he was thoroughly repaired. Raiden is fully healed and stronger than before, so he knows that the soldiers should be given a fair warning.
"Listen up you nameless soldiers because I'm only going to say this once. You guys know full well that I killed one of your Generals and that I'm crazy strong. You can run off and tell that fucking pig that you valued your lives, leave the Empire to be with your loved ones. Or you can die a quick and meaningless death. Because I have better things to do and I am not in the mood to waste my time." Raiden told the soldiers causing some of them to run off
"Fuck this, I don't even like the Prime Minister." One of the soldiers said as he was running away with the other soldiers while taking off his gear
"Get back here you cowards!" One of the soldiers who stayed behind said while looking at Raiden with a sinister smile
"You're looking confident, I hope for your sake you have a teigu hidden. Because if you don't, then you stand no chance against me." Raiden told the soldier
"I'm excited because I'm picturing the glory I will bask in after I've killed you. The Prime Minister will reward me with untold riches and glory for being the one who kills you. I will have General Esdeath in my bed and Night Raid will also . . . ." The Soldier said before he was cut down by Raiden
"Yeah I just got tired of hearing your bullshit. So anyone else want to try their luck?" Raiden asked before the soldiers that stayed behind charged at Raiden. Before they got too close, Raiden cut all of them in half by their waist. A brief second later, Raiden did a backflip and was able to avoid a soldier that was charging at him. After avoiding the soldier, Raiden killed him by stabbing him. When Raiden looked around for a brief moment, he noticed that several soldiers have started to run away not wanting to get killed by him.
"Looks like everyone is running. That's good, it'll give me a chance to catch up to the others while covering up the trail. I just hope they don't run into . . ." Raiden said before he quickly deflected several sharp objects with his sword. After Raiden deflected the laast of the sharp objects, he looked at them and recognized the sharp feathers and realized who the attack is.
"Come on out Run!" Raiden yelled causing an individual to land on the ground nearby. When Run stood up, Raiden used scanned Run because there was something different about him. When Raiden scanned him, Raiden saw that there was no heartbeat and his body temperature was low.
"You were alive the last time I saw you. So how is it you could be like this?" Raiden asked Run only to get no response from Run. When Raiden took a closer look, he noticed that Run looks similar to Kurome's puppets that he fought a while ago.
"Wait, now that I think about it, you look like . . ." Raiden said before he instinctively flipped to the side. The side-flip was a good decision because he was able to avoid a dive kick from Wave while he was in his armor form. After dodging the kick, Raiden saw Wave stand side by side with Run and decided to speak
"What happened to him?" Raiden asked in a concerned tone
"You happened Raiden, Kurome told me how she made him a puppet so he would stay by our side. He wouldn't have even been in that condition if it wasn't for you." Wave briefly told Raiden
"I left him alive, Kurome would have no reason to turn him into a puppet." Raiden told Wave
"It doesn't matter now Raiden. Everything is a mess because of you and if I bring you in. Then it'll be a chance to stop all of this from getting worse. Especially those freaky soldiers that the General brought back with her." Wave said as he was assuming a fighting stance
"I can't waste too much time with Wave. The more time I spend fighting him, the more soldiers will come and follow the trail to the others. I need to end this quickly." Raiden thought to himself while making a mental note of the freaky soldiers comment that Wave made
Raiden quickly looked around and noticed that there are a lot of building surrounding them that are likely vacant. It was at that moment that Raiden had thought of a plan. Before Raiden could act on it, the reanimated Run proceeded to fire the sharp feathers at Raiden. Using his sharp reflexes, Raiden quickly deflected the sharp feathers towards Wave. Reacting quickly, Wave put himself in a defensive stance and was able to block the deflected feathers. After Wave blocked the sharp feathers, Raiden decided to use the teigu adramelech to fire a thunder blast at Wave. Before the blast hit Wave, Puppet Run stood in front of Wave and used Masterma's trump card and reflected the thunder blast. Raiden wasn't able to react in time and was hit directly with the reflected thunder blast.
"Damn, I forgot about the reflect ability that Run's teigu has. At least I know that being a puppet won't do anything with his skills with the teigu. But his stamina is almost infinite since he's dead. I need to end this quickly." Raiden thought to himself before he briefly looked around and thought of a plan before he spread his arms out. Raiden knew that Wave is a good person and decided to see how good of a person that he is. Raiden knows that the buldings are vacant thanks to his scanners. But Wave doesn't and is willing to see the type of person Wave is.
"I'm not in a mood to waste my time. But I'm curious to see how fast you are." Raiden said as he was charging up his thunder teigu
"You wouldn't!" Wave yelled in a tone of disbelief
"Try me." Raiden said before he sent a thunder blast in each direction.
Wave quickly dashed in front of one of the thunder blasts, while Run did the same thing. When Wave stood in front of the thunder blast. He held his ground and endured the blast. Run on the other hand stood in front of the thunder blast as well but instead of enduring the blast. He used his teigu's trump card and reflected the thunder blast. Seeing the blast coming, Raiden jumped out of the way and allowed the reflected thunder blast to hit Wave. After Wave was hit, Raiden saw that he was unconscious and quickly kicked Run away as he was quickly flying towards him.
"I doubt you can hear me, but the building were empty. Gotta go now." Raiden said as he was punching his fists together while they generated electricity due to the gauntlet teigu. After the fists collided, a flash of light covered the area and Raiden was gone along with the tire tracks that was made by the van.
(The Forest)
After driving out of the Capital, Hal was guided by Akame the directions to Night Raid's Hideout. As he was driving, Hal looked around to see if there was anyone following them. After noticing that they were clear of pursuers, Hal paid more attention to his driving and after a few more minutes of driving. Akame tapped his shoulder, silently instructing him to stop driving.
"Is everything OK Akame, am I going the right way?" Hal asked Akame
"Further ahead are some cliffs. Even though this metallic cart is sturdy, I doubt it can jump off of cliffs." Akame told Hal
"This is called a car Akame, but I see your point. We're going to have to travel on foot, but we can't leave these supplies unguarded. We're going to have to take them with us." Hal told Akame
"Since I am unable to carry many supplies, I will go and scout ahead while the three of you wait for Raiden." Wolf suggested to the group
"Are you sure you can handle it?" Tatsumi asked in a concerned tone
"Yes I am certain, I went through the S.A.V.E. data as well and I'll be able to find my way. Once the Hideout area is clear of soldiers and Danger Beasts. I will inform them of you and they will come to help." Wolf said before he went on ahead
(A few Moments Later)
Wolf spent a few minutes walking through the forest to scout on ahead and get some help with the supplies. As he was walking, Wolf noticed a faint trail and after looking deeper, he realized that he's getting closer the Hideout. As Wolf was getting closer, his radar detected an energy signature on his internal radar. After looking around the area, Wolf used his tail to deflect a couple of knives that was thrown at him. After looking around, Wolf used his chainsaw to cut a nearby tree down. After he did so, a young woman jump off of the tree and landed in front of Blade Wolf. When she emerged, it was Jade who was revealed
"A metallic Danger Beast, looks like the Empire is starting to get creative with their new allies." Jade said while looking at Wolf
"I recall seeing you from the S.A.V.E. data that Raiden provided. I go by the designation Blade Wolf. As I recall you are named Jade, I highly advise that you stand down." Wolf told Jade
"I'm not going to listen to a metallic, talking Danger Beast. Besides, how do I know that you're not one of the Empire's experiments. Still I do have a way to find out for sure." Jade said before she used her teigu Polar Ring to blast a pulse at Blade Wolf.
After hitting Wolf with the energy pulse, Jade tried to control Wolf by moving him to a nearby tree. Wolf struggled to get free from the Jade's control and quickly figured out that she was using some type of magnetism. After realizing that he's being controlled by magnetism, Wolf generated a small energy pulse that disabled the magnetic control that Jade had over Wolf. After negating the magnetic hold that Jade had, Wolf took up a stance and continued to talk.
"This unit has no intention of fighting you. If this unit truly wishes it, you would have been dead already. For the sake of Raiden, I advise that you stand down." Blade Wolf said while focusing on Jade
"I had a feeling that something like this might happen. So that's why I had a good buddy of mine keep me company." Jade said before several wires appeared and tried to wrap Blade Wolf.
Reacting quickly, Wolf connected his tail to his chainsaw and proceeded to cut the metallic wires that was surrounding him. After he cut the wires, a green haired young man stepped away from the tree and he had one arm. It was Lubbock and he was using his teigu.
"We were told that Esdeath had gotten some people that were similar to Raiden. I didn't think that she would be able to recruit metallic Danger Beasts though. Jade we have to work together if we want to take this thing down. We don't know what it's capable of." Lubbock said before he formed a knife with his teigu while Jade used her teigu to levitate the knives and threw them at Wolf.
Seeing the knives coming, Wolf proceeded to deflect each of them before jumping on a nearby tree. While Wolf was on the tree, Lubbock tried to throw the wire knives at Wolf hoping to trap him. Wolf knew what the teigu Cross Tail was capable of thanks to the S.A.V.E. data and quickly avoided them. After avoiding the knives, Wolf opened up the small vents on his legs and released a smokescreen covering the area while making it hard for Jade and Lubbock to see him. Staying calm despite the smokescreen, Lubbock closed his eyes and focused on his hearing. After a few seconds, Lubbock quickly snapped his eyes opened and threw the wire knife in a direction. The direction is where Blade Wolf was and thinking quickly, Wolf threw a knife of his own quickly deflecting Lubbock's makeshift knife. But was quickly kicked to the side by Jade.
After Wolf recovered from getting kicked to the side from Jade. Wolf noticed that there are several markings on Jade's body and figured that it is the reason for her increased strength. Wolf decided to increase the density of the smokescreen and run around Jade and Lubbock in a circle. The two members of Night Raid stood behind each other, watching and waiting for Wolf to make a move. A brief second have passed and Lubbock's arm was snared by something and it dragged him away from Jade. Before Jade could respond, Wolf quickly bashed into Jade knocking her back a good distance. Lubbock was briefly staggered, but he tried to use his wires to trap Wolf. Unfortunately for Lubbock, he was unable to capture Blade Wolf and out of retaliation, Wolf bashed into Lubbock as well. Out of instincts, Wolf quickly jumped to the side and was able to avoid an attack from Jade.
"This metallic Danger Beast is stronger than we thought. We're going to have to lessen its fighting options before it has the chance to act." Lubbock told Jade with her agreeing
"I don't know how, but its immune to my teigu's magnetic control. My trump card is the only thing that's letting me fight it, but the time limit is almost up. I have at most 8 minutes left." Jade said to Lubbock while looking at Wolf. As Lubbock and Jade was looking at Blade Wolf. They noticed that Wolf is looking back at them. After a few seconds, they were about to charge towards each other. However, before anyone realized it, Akame jumped down from a nearby tree and stretched her arms out separating the Wolf from her allies.
"I see that there has been some fighting between you all. Stop this right now." Akame told Lubbock
"Akame, your just in time to help us. I'll fill you in later but Jade is a new member of Night Raid." Lubbock said in a happy tone to Akame
"I'm telling the both you to stand down. Wolf is an ally and he's here to help us." Akame told Lubbock and Jade with the both of them having a shared look of disbelief
"You're kidding right, there has got to be more to this?" Lubbock asked Akame in a confused tone
"There is, Raiden and Tatsumi as well as another ally named Hal will be coming to the hideout soon. There is a lot we need to catch you up on. Because there is a lot we've learned." Akame told Lubbock
"The same goes for us, we'll all go back to the hideout and wait for our allies. They have a lot of supplies for us so it'll take them a while to get here. Raiden arrived he's helping to make sure that we weren't followed." Akame told Lubbock
"Alright Akame, I'll take your word for it. Once everyone arrives we'll be able to bring each other up to speed." Lubbock said before the group of four made their way to the Hideout
(Dorothea's Lab)
Dorothea of the Wild Hunt has been spending a good deal of time doing research and experiments in the lab that was assigned to her in the Capital. After helping Syura in his mission, Dorothea was able to occupy her time with new experiment ideas and thanks to both the Prime Minister and Syura, she has no shortage of test subjects. Though what plagues her mind is the anomaly that is both Raiden and Vamp. Dorothea was able to suck both of their bloods at different times and the power she gained from those two is still lingering to this day. Dorothea has tried to replicate it numerous times every chance she got, but each attempt turned up in failure and she is growing more and more frustrated.
"Hmm there has to be a way for me to replicate their blood and power. There's too much I don't know about either of them. But one thing is clear, if circumstances are met then their power could surpass that of any teigu." Dorothea said thinking out loud. As she was thinking out loud, Syura showed up causing Dorothea to turn and acknowledge him
"It looks like your still in your lab dabbling with your experiments." Syura commented to Dorothea
"How else am I going to occupy my time Syura? Izou is off doing whatever and Cosmina is having fun with the male prisoners. So how did your meeting with your father go? I heard that Esdeath came recently and had gotten some new recruits." Dorothea told Syura
"Pops pretty much told me that my reckless initiative had given us a once in a lifetime opportunity. He's still trying to plan out the negotiations so until then, he advises that I don't do anything stupid. Like trying to provoke and fight Vamp again. I get the feeling that you're still trying to find a way to replicate Raiden's and Vamp's power. So how has that been going for you?" Syura asked Dorothea
"I've made no progress at all with that research. Unless we have either Vamp or Raiden themselves. Then I won't be able to make any type of progress at all. Capturing Raiden is out of the question and I doubt Vamp will volunteer to be a test subject." Dorothea told Syura in an irritated tone
"Well I've heard that our new allies will make things a lot easier. But that also means my chances to impress Dad is getting less and less. We were able to spread some anarchy with the Abnormal Danger Beasts. But Night Raid still needs to be dealt with. Were you able to perform those experiments that I asked you to do?" Syura said in a proud tone
"Of course, the experiments on those two were informative for my research as well. But how will the experiments be useful?" Dorothea asked
"Because I have another plan in mind and the goal is to get a message across. First let's wait until Cosmina has her fun, then we'll start getting ready. Because I suspect that Night Raid will get a mission request soon." Syura said in a sinister tone with a plan in mind
(Night Raid's Hideout)
The air was tense as the moment was awkward between Blade Wolf and the members of Night Raid. During the trip there, Akame gave Wolf a general idea of what to expect. While also explaining why the members of Night Raid are cautious of intruders. Lubbock also took the time to tell Akame that Jade decided to become a member of Night Raid and has proved to be a great addition to the group. After they all arrived, Leone and Najenda was caught off guard by Blade Wolf and thought that it was a talking metallic Danger Beast. But the both of them calmed downed after Akame vouched for him. After a great deal of time have passed, Raiden, Tatsumi, and Hal spent a lot of time bringing the supplies into the Hideout. After the supplies made it into the Hideout, Raiden and Akame told everyone of what they all experienced. The Night Raid members were stunned and amazed at how advance Raiden's home world is in terms of technology and advancements. Najenda herself caught everyone up to speed with what happened since Esdeath's return and the new forces that she brought with her. After all the news was exchanged, there was a good deal of silence in the meeting room. Nobody knew what to say until Leone was the first to talk.
"Well at least we know where you guys have been for the past few weeks. But it's still a lot to take in when you stop to process this stuff. A land where advance technology is common, that also used to thrive on war. I can see how Esdeath would be amazed at a place like that." Leone said voicing her thoughts
"Now she's back and brought a group of people like Raiden. We now know who one of them is, but that leaves her other allies." Lubbock told everyone
"If Yashan is here, then there is a likely chance that she is here with her group the Savijas. Maverick has some data on them because of their work with World Marshal and they are not to be taken lightly." Wolf said before he projected a hologram of the Savijas with Hal's help while oblivious to the impressed tone of Night Raid
"The muscular man is named Terremoto, his immense physical strength makes him a threat in close quarters and his dual chainsaw arms further adds to his capabilities. His body is very durable, even high frequency blades won't be able to cut his skin easily. He is even able to create shockwaves and is able to destroy solid surfaces" Wolf said showing off the hologram to everyone
"So me and Akame's teigu won't be enough." Lubbock said after seeing Terremoto before Wolf continued with the next figure who is a female
"This woman's name is Elaina, she is able to fight with dual whip and she has a variety of attack patterns and styles. Her speed and agility are among a high point and her speed and precision with her weapons makes her a lethal threat." Wolf told everyone
"So speed and agility will be our best defense against her." Leone told everyone as Wolf was getting to the next figure
"This soldier's name is Saeke, he is capable of producing powerful lasers and can go into stealth mode at any time. His specialty is infiltration and close quarters fighting." Wolf told everyone
"We need to increase security measures. If stealth and infiltration is his specialty, then he'll be able to find this Hideout without any of us knowing." Akame said before Wolf went to an image that Akame, Tatsumi, and Raiden is familiar with
"This soldier is the leader of the Savijas and one of World Marshal's strongest fighter named Yashan. She fights with dual claws and has an advance healing abilty and has fought in the War Economy in the past. She is able to disable nanomachines through a signal within close range by tasting the blood that your nanomachines are a part of. Raiden, if you are to fight her again, you need to make sure you turn off your Wi-Fi signal to prevent her from disabling your nanomachines. Akame, since you don't have CODEC, Yashan won't be able to disable your nanomachines. I also know that from the data I have from her past missions, there is a good chance that she has fought you at 15% of her full strength." Wolf said that shocked everyone in the room
"That's not good, if she was able to fight Akame and Tatsumi with ease while holding back. She could be as much of a threat as Esdeath and Vamp." Najenda said voicing her own thoughts
"News of us getting back will make it the Prime Minister soon, so until they make the first move. We have no choice but to maintain a wait and see approach." Raiden said with everyone agreeing reluctantly
"I hate to say it, but I agree with Raiden. We need to inform the revolutionary army of this new development. In a few days, I'll go there myself and give them the news." Najenda said before she took a smoke.
"Before I forget, where is Janey and Chelsea?" Raiden asked in a curious tone
"Janey was training with Pumpkin and has gotten exhausted. Right now she's just resting since teigu's take up a lot of the user's strength. As for Chelsea, she's doing some chores, I didn't get the chance to tell her that you guys are back." Najenda told Raiden
"Before we start talking about what to do next. Would you mind introducing us to your friends Raiden?" Leone asked
"Oh I almost forgot, everyone these two are going to help us deal with the corruption of the Empire. You guys have already met Blade Wolf and the guy with the glasses is named Hal Emmerich. Wolf helped me out with the mess involving World Marshal and Hal helped out Solid Snake." Raiden said introducing the group to his close friends
"Hi everyone it's nice to meet you. I know that you guys are cautious of intruders and I understand why given your line of work. But I do understand the circumstances of why you guys do what you do. I'm no stranger to working with people who killed people before and if this Esdeath is working with tech or cybernetic soldiers. Then I'll be able to offer my expertise and help give advice." Hal said to the group
"It's nice to meet you Hal, and I appreciate any kind of help you an offer us. But tell me, I doubt you'll be able to fight if something unfortunate happens. So how will you be able to hide?" Najenda asked
"Well, I have a stun gauntlet that can knock people out for a few hours. I can also do this." Hal said before he disappeared using his camo tech which surprised everyone. After a few seconds have passed, Hal appeared next to a surprised Najenda
"So it looks like you have something that gives you an ability that's similar to a teigu. I must admit that it's impressive." Najenda said commenting on Hal's tech
"The name that I have been given is Blade Wolf. I am an IF prototype that has been given a new designation. I would give you the details, but Raiden and Dr. Emmerich said that the information is too long. Though what I am able to tell you in short time, is that I have experienced combat missions and I am capable against the threats that I have seen from Raiden's data." Wolf told everyone not noticing the confused look on everyone's faces
"Wolf is saying that he can help you guys with the fighting." Hal briefly explained causing every to nod in understanding
"Well nice to have you with us, sorry for the attack from before. But a lot has happened and we couldn't take too many chances." Jade told Wolf causing the metallic wolf to nod in understanding
"Before I forget, it's nice to see that you made it back here in one piece and that you decided to join us Jade." Raiden told Jade
"It's no problem, I don't have anywhere else to go and my skills and experience will be very useful to you guys." Jade told Raiden
"Tatsumi, why do you still have Incursio activated? We're safe here for the moment and I doubt anything will happen immediately." Leone asked after looking at Tatsumi causing Raiden, Akame, and Hal to have a look on their faces that is a mix of concern and guilt
"While they were training back in Raiden's homeland. Tatsumi's teigu mutated him further. There's no doubt that it made him a lot stronger, but the mutation is quite severe." Akame said before Tatsumi dissolved his armor. When the rest of the Night Raid members looked at Tatsumi's mutated, they each shared a look in shock and fear.
"It seems that Incursio's evolution abilities had a deadly effect on Tatsumi. When we read about Incursio. We had an idea that this could happen, but we didn't think it would be this bad." Najenda said doing the best she can to hide her shock
"A good deal of this is my fault boss. Tatsumi wouldn't have wanted to get stronger Yashan hadn't blinded him and disabled me. If I was thinking clearly, I would have been able to deal with her. We fought some powerful machines and the mutation slowly happened, it surprised me as well." Raiden told Najenda
"Raiden is not at fault for this boss. Before we fought her, I did some training and I underwent a mutation. This would have happened sooner or later and at least I can still fight. Besides, if it wasn't for Raiden's friends I would have been blind. I am still able to fight the corruption." Tatsumi told Najenda defending Raiden
"Don't misunderstand my expression, I'm not trying to blame anyone. I was merely shocked at the transformation that's all. Still, I'm glad that your able to keep fighting Tatsumi, we just need to make sure that your transformation doesn't get worse if we can prevent it." Najenda told Tatsumi and Raiden
"Still, the tech must be pretty amazing for it to have healed Tatsumi's blindness." Lubbock said before he looked at the empty space where his arm used to be.
"Oh I almost forgot, we brought some supplies that will make things a lot easier. I also saw the recordings and I brought some tech that can help you out." Hal said before he opened up one of the boxes. Inside the supply box are two cybernetic arms, one for Lubbock and the other for Najenda. After Lubbock saw the cybernetic arms, Hal decided to speak
"These cybernetic arms are specially made for a variety of purposes. Since I'm here, I can help set up the initial attachment. They are a lot stronger and a lot more durable, while also equipped with some fighting tech." Hal said explaining the cybernetic arms
"Amazing, I can tell just from looking at them that its highly advanced. Lubbock needs it more than I do. Lubbock, I want you to set yourself up with the arm later on." Najenda told Lubbock
"Will do boss, I like the design and if what you said about the advancements is true. Then I'll be able to improve on the functions of my teigu in no time. But boss, after I get set up, I want you to have one of these arms too." Lubbock said excited at getting a new arm
"Like I said, you need it a lot more than I do. Besides if something happens and I decide against it, then you'll have a backup just in case." Najenda told Lubbock
"we've also brought some tech that will make things easier regarding the mission. We've also brought some medical supplies in case of severe injury. Even some tech that can help some of you guys in a fight." Hal said showing off the various tech and equipment's before he spoke directly to Wolf and Akame
"Akame, working from the medical details from back home. We were able to give you an exoskeleton suit. When we get the chance, I'll show you how it works." Hal told Akame
"Thank you, I look forward to training with it." Akame told Hal
"That looks similar to the model that Solidus used." Raiden thought to himself before he slightly tensed up which Akame noticed
"Wolf, I've brought my supply kit so I can give you regular maintenance when you need it. I've also brought four different sets of armor plates for you to use. So you'll have a variety of fighting options for when you go out on missions. Assuming we have the right data, for obvious reasons. This will also be a good testing ground for your Lycan Mode." Hal told Wolf
"What's Lycan Mode Hal? I don't remember Wolf having that." Raiden asked in a curious tone
"You will see Lycan Mode soon enough Raiden. What I can inform you, is that it is a mode that Sunny and Dr. Emmerich installed for new battle and mission parameters. They told me not to tell you so I won't in their own words, spoil the surprise." Wolf explained to Raiden
"Well considering the name Lycan, I have a good idea of what it is. Gotta admit, I can't wait to see it." Raiden told Wolf
"Before I forget, there's something I have to show you boss."" Akame said before she showed Najenda the case that contained the two syringes
"What are these?" Najenda asked in a curious tone
"These are two syringes that can do more than disable nanomachines, but there is also a good chance that it can deprive Esdeath of her teigu's power and weaken Vamp greatly." Akame said getting everyone's immediate attention
"Your kidding, if we give those to both Esdeath and Vamp. Then it'll turn the tide of this war in one fell swoop." Lubbock said after hearing the news
"Don't forget what Boris said, there is no guarantee that it will work. Besides we have to use one of them for Kurome, I know it'll weaken her to a point that it'll be crippling. But it will be a surefire way to stop her without killing her. It will also be a good way to test the injections capabilities. If they work, then we'll be able to use it on either Esdeath or Vamp." Raiden said voicing his thoughts on the matter
"Raiden, I told you before that I am willing to kill my sister. Besides, with something like this we can turn the tide in one fell swoop. I know that Boris said that there is no guarantee that it will work. But given the circumstances, it's a risk that we have to take." Akame said voicing her own thoughts
"Regardless of the opinion of how they are to be used one thing remains clear. We do have a possible trump card that can turn the tide of the war and if this does work on Esdeath. It'll cripple the Empire and make things a lot easier. Though there are some unknowns that we have to take into account. This is something that's worth thinking about. Besides, an opportunity has to present itself for us to even use it. Also I highly doubt Esdeath will let us inject something into her not knowing what it is. For now, we should table the discussion of what to do with the two syringes." Najenda told everyone her thoughts on the situation with Raiden reluctantly agreeing
"Say um Hal, what other supplies have you brought?" Leone asked in a curious tone trying to quickly change topics
"Well, along with some tech and gear that can help with the mission. Me and Raiden agreed to bring some leisure stuff for entertainment purposes. So that when someone isn't training, they'll be able to pass the time by watching various movies. Oh before I forget, I was told to give this to Ms. Najenda." Hal said before he handed Najenda a smack book
"Raiden told me that you was curious about our friend Solid Snake. I also remembered my promise to pass his story along. This book contains a lot of details about the type of person that Snake is as well as details of the missions he's been on. I know that it wasn't exactly what you asked for. But this was the best that we can do. I can't really make this public, but giving it to you, who have no connections to the people that would make things harder for us. I figured that it would be safer for us." Hal explained to Najenda
"Thank you, I see that this is a lot to read Hal. So I can assure you I will make time to read this and I'll treasure this." Najenda told Hal in a grateful tone
"Oh and Lubbock, Raiden told me to give you this." Hal told Lubbock before handing him a small case. When Lubbock opened the case and looked inside it. He had a massive grin on his face with his nose slightly bleeding. When Jade looked to see what made Lubbock so happy. She had a happy grin on her face as well
"What made them so happy?" Susanoo asked in a curious tone
"Something that is up to Lubbock's taste, also Jade's now that I think about it." Raiden answered Susanoo. When Leone looked at what Lubbock and Jade was looking at, she punched them on their heads while looking angry. (though it didn't stop the too from being happy about the contents
"RAIDEN, HAL, THEY HAVE CRAP LIKE THIS IN YOUR LAND?" Leone asked holding up one of the porn mags
"We made sure to get something for the females too." Hal quickly said
"Well I suppose it's fair at least." Leone quickly said before the group started to laugh
"This boost in morale, the new allies and the supplies is something we really needed. Akame, Tatsumi, and Raiden, the return of you three will surely make things a lot more bearable for us in the future. But I can't shake the feeling that things are going to get a lot harder from this point on. We need to be at the top of our game from now on. Chelsea I'm sorry, but you need to heal from your guilt and pain soon." Najenda thought to herself before she started to speak
"Tatsumi, before you get settled in, there is something you need to know. It involves Syura and his recent activities." Najenda told Tatsumi
"What do you mean boss?" Tatsumi asked in a curious tone
"I have a good deal of suspicions that Syura has been spreading anarchy within and around the Capital trying to draw us out. I've even received confirmation that his actions has destroyed a Village. The Village that was destroyed is your Home Village and there were no survivors." Najenda told Tatsumi causing everyone to look at Tatsumi out of concern
"What." Tatsumi said before he dropped to his knees in a mix of shock, disbelief, and rage.
(A/N)
Since Najenda has received a lot of files on Solid Snake in this chapter. I plan on implementing a new segments called the reminisce segments. The Reminisce segments are canon to the story and it will be Najenda, Raiden,, Hal, and a member of Night Raid or Wolf discussing events from Metal Gear Sloid 1 – 4 and Revengeance. So from this point on, every chapter will either have a CODEC segment or a Reminisce segment but not both. The reason I'm putting in the Reminisce segments is because I want to include Night Raid's reactions to the things, Snake and Raiden experienced. While not messing with the flow and pace of the story. It could be a variety of things, such as a boss fight, or certain events like Raiden's infamous birthday suit experience. A fair heads up, I can't guarantee that I will be able to cover everything. Also, Kate and Maurice's fate will be revealed in the next chapter.
So read and review
Thank you
(Codec 14 The Former General)
"This Woman, there's something about her that I really like." Snake said after looking at Najenda
"Oh really, what do you like about her Snake?" Otacon asked Snake over CODEC
"This woman has an air about her that is a good balance of authority, experience, and skill. I can also tell that she is level-headed and professional while doing what it takes to make sure that the mission succeeds. That eyepatch also adds to the charm that she has." Snake briefly explained to Otacon
"Well she is a former General so that's to be expected. She saw the dept of the corruption and tried to leave. The reports says that she was barely able to escape one of the Generals, but she lost her eye and arm in the process." Otacon told Snake
"Yet that didn't stop her from her mission. Gotta admit, her resolve is actually impressive." Snake said in an impressed tone
"Looking at these files, she's pretty similar to you Snake. Even down to your shared smoking habit." Otacon told Snake
"Hey Najenda, wanna make a little wager with me? If I win, we go out for dinner and drinks." Snake told Najenda
"Interesting, but if I win we skip the dinner and go for drinks and you'll be buying." Najenda said in an eager tone
"You'll need something to hold down that liquor, we could end up in a hotel bedroom." Snake said with confidence
"Then you'll have another problem, being able to keep up with me in the bedroom." Najenda said in a confident tone
"Then we'll see after this spar who can keep up with who in the bedroom." Snake said matching Najenda's confidence before he engaged her (and a few hours later in bed with her)
