The Dragon of Night Raid
Mission Twenty Nine: The Dragon's Support
The battle between Night Raid and the Jaegers had begun. Already Kurome pulled out all the stops for the fight and was certain the battle will go their way. However, it seemed that wasn't enough to deter Akame from running up to her younger sister and attacking her. Both of their swords clashed with each other. "Her movements are slower when she's controlling more corpses. This is my only opportunity." When they passed each other, Kurome turned around to strike again but Akame managed to avoid it. She went for her counterattack but it was blocked by one of her younger sister's puppets. It was another familiar face to her and was surprised to see it. "Natala?" Natala pushed Akame back. The older sister instantly didn't like it. "Let him rest in peace Kurome! He was a friend of yours wasn't he?!"
Her sister attacked again but blocked it. She gave a smile that made her sister feel uneasy. "How can you say that? It's because he's my friend that I want him with me forever. I'll add you as well big sister. That way we'll be together forever."
It seemed her sister became worse than the last time they met. "How can you say such a thing?"
Kurome didn't seem bothered. "Too bad."
Natala knocked Akame off the danger beast. Bols aimed his Imperial Arms while she was falling. It revved up. "Magma Drive!" He fired off a shot at her.
Akame was surprised it could do such a thing. "His Imperial Arms can do ranged attacks?"
Luckily Tatsumi managed to save her before the attack could hit her. "Don't charge in like that. It's not like you Akame."
He brought up a good point and she lowered her head. "I'm sorry."
Both of them landed on the ground. They looked at the danger beast. "This won't be an enemy we can take lightly."
Kurome and Natala retreated to higher ground. Kurome gazed down at her sister. "Akame...not you only betrayed us but you joined a group like Night Raid." She looked over to her danger beasts. "Now Desta-Ghoul! Kill them all!" The danger beasts roared as it collected massive amounts of energy in its mouth. It then released all of that energy at Night Raid while destroying everything in its path. Everyone managed to dodge it in time but was now wary of its power.
Mine certainly was. "So this is the power of an S-class danger beast. It's incredible."
Kurome laughed at what she saw. "Oh wow. It changed the entire area with one attack. But as expected Night Raid, all of them avoided it." All of them now knew how serious this situation had become.
Around the same time, Chelsea and Wendy felt the ground shake once again. The young dragon slayer was a bit worried. "That was a pretty big quake."
The other girl had to agree. "Yeah. I'm guessing the fight started off in a big way."
No matter how worried the younger girl was, she had to keep calm. It still wasn't the right time yet. "Just hold on everyone. Wait a little longer."
Desta-Ghoul tried to swipe at Susanoo and Najenda but they dodged the attack. "Like I thought, Desta-Ghoul is very powerful. Susanoo, let us take it on together!"
The human Imperial Arms had other thoughts. "That won't be necessary." She was surprised to hear that. "It is a powerful opponent…" He looked at the danger beasts. "I can handle it by myself. You should focus on helping out the others." The danger beast tried to attack him but he blocked it.
Najenda didn't see a reason to argue. "Fine then. I'll leave that monster to you."
Mine took aim once again at Kurome. "If I can just get one shot at Kurome. I'll take her down this time." Natala looked over and extended his polearm at the pinkette. She was caught off guard. "Is that an Imperial Arms?" She dodged it but saw someone else walking on the weapon. It was a woman who pulled out duel pistols at her. Mine loved the challenge. "So you use guns too huh? Come on then!" She pointed Pumpkin at the woman.
Tatsumi ended up confronting an ape-like monster. It made several grunts."This must be another of Kurome's corpses. It must be a danger beast but it's one I've never seen one like it before." The ape-like danger beast took the first attack and continued but Tatsumi dodged every single attack until it took a bite on his arm. He took it as an opportunity to strike back and sent flying away. Once it stopped another figure appeared and did a surprise attack. "What the hell?!" The attack managed to hit the top of his forehead but had little effect.
Tatsumi summoned Neuntote and swung it at the new enemy but evaded the attack easily. "Weak…weak…weak…"
As of now, Tatsumi was at a disadvantage. "If it wasn't for the armor, I would've been killed. If I fight the two of them any longer, it'll become more dangerous for me."
Akame engaged her fight against Bols. "He's dangerous if his fire covers a wide area. I'll end you here and now!"
The masked man readied himself for the attack. "I didn't expect her to come after me." He pointed Rubicante and fired a stream of fire at her.
She jumped over the fire and landed behind him. Akame swiped her sword to the side for a quick kill but was blocked by another of Kurome's puppets. "Murasame doesn't have any effect on those that are already dead." The corpse kicked Akame away from Bols.
Leone ran over to her friend. "Akame!" Suddenly a whip wrapped around her leg pulled the blonde away from her friend and slammed her into the wall. The whip belonged to another of Kurome's puppets. She growled at him. "So it was you huh old man?" She stood up. The puppet cracked his whip. "Really? With that kind of attack, I'll see all of them from a mile away." However, he delivered his attacks with such speed that it made Leone caught off guard. "What the?!" She crossed her arms for protection but the attacks kept coming. "Even in my beast form, my eyes can't keep up where his attacks are coming from and he's not even using an Imperial Arms."
Akame groaned and looked over to where her sister was. "Kurome…"
The younger sister was enjoying the several battles that were happening. "Oh wow. This is more fun than I thought. So what do you think of my toys? Aren't they just great? Doya is a gunslinger from the Northern Tribe. You can still see that confident look on her face. Wall was a well-known bodyguard. I had to kill him because he was protecting a target I was assigned to take out. Apeman is just a muscle head but is very easy to control. He's a favorite of mine. Henter was the last of the Ban Tribe. Killing him wasn't easy thanks to his movements. Rokugoh used to be a general in the Empire but tried to escape to join the Revolutionary Army so I killed him. I found this Desta-Ghoul by complete chance back in Seiga. And Natala is a childhood friend of mine. He protects whenever I use Yatsufusa's power. To top this all off, I have one more puppet in waiting."
All of this was a bit too much for Tatsumi to handle. "Are you kidding me? She hasn't even brought out the whole set yet." Henter attacked him again but backed off only for Apeman to attack him as well. "Damn it!" He stabbed the dead danger beast with his polearm. However, it had no effect as it grabbed the weapon. Tatsumi didn't expect that to happen. "No way!"
Kurome giggled. "That won't work. They're already dead. They'll just keep on attacking you no matter what you do to them. Even if you stab them in the heart, just as long as I'm around of course." Apeman slammed Tatsumi into the ground.
Over to Chelsea and Wendy, the young dragon slayer decided to finally act now. "It's time." She closed her eyes. "I can't smell the others because of the scent of the dead. However, I can still sense them through their auras. Now then…" She easily sensed her friends. "I got them. My time to shine." Wendy held out her hand. "Fast wind that run heaven…" A glow appeared around her hand. "Vernier!"
While Mine was busy fighting against Doya, she felt sudden rush going through her body. She smiled. "Nice Wendy." She easily dodged her opponent's gunfire and shot off a few rounds of her own. They went through but the puppet turned around to return fire only for Mine to disappear and fired off more shots. "What's wrong? Can't keep up with me?" Every time she disappeared, the pinkette fired off another shot.
"Vernier is perfect for Mine. She'll have no trouble against her opponent." The color around her hand changed. "Power of the stout arms that tears heaven…" The glow became brighter. "Arms!"
Tatsumi deflected another attack from Henter. He suddenly felt a rush of power going through him. "What the…oh man this feels incredible!" Apeman tried to punch him again but he was ready this time. Tatsumi clenched his hand tightly. "Let's see how you like this!" He countered with his own punch and sent the puppet away with ease. He was pleased with the results. "Nice. With this, fighting those two will be a lot easier."
While Najenda was running over to help out one of her comrades, she too also felt a sudden surge of power. She stopped momentarily to familiarize with it. "So this is what her enhancement spells can do." She smiled. "I must say I've never felt stronger before. Now then, who needs my help?"
Wendy made the right choice for giving them the Arms spell. "Tatsumi is fighting against two opponents at once so Arms should be able to help him out a little. Miss Najenda is also fighting with us so she'll need the attack boost as well." Now there were two more left. Susanoo didn't need one of the spells because he was plenty powerful enough as it is. The color of her hand changed once again. "Now Armor!"
While Leone couldn't do much against Rokugoh's attacks, she felt a familiar feeling going through her body. Soon she wasn't feeling the hits at all. She smiled. "Hey, thanks Wendy. Would've been better if I'd gotten the attack boost but this is good too."
Akame was still struggling against fighting against two opponents at once. She had to get through the bodyguard before she could reach Bols. No matter how close Akame has been to reaching her opponent, the puppet always interfered. Not to mention Bols' attacks didn't make things easier. Just as the bodyguard kicked her away again, he saw an opportunity. "There's my chance." He shot out a stream of fire at her. Akame saw the attack coming but couldn't avoid it in time. The fire completely enveloped her. Bols was glad yet sad that this happened. "I'm sorry but I still have a duty to fulfill." To his surprise, Akame jumped out of the fire and looking unscathed. "What?! That's impossible!"
"You're done!" She headed right at the masked man but the puppet intercepted again. Akame backed off and was grateful what just happened to her. "This must be Wendy's doing. I'm surprised I escaped when I did. I'll have to thank her later on. Right now I have to focus on taking out the bodyguard."
Everything was set now. "I know Leone's beast form can help her regenerate but it doesn't hurt to add a little more protection. Akame is struggling and is fighting another Imperial Arms so Armor should help her out a bit more. Now the pieces are set. It's time for our counterattack!"
Leone grabbed the whip. "You're out of luck now! Now I can see through your attack pattern! Oh and I'm not feeling them anymore."
"Well done Leone." Najenda came out of nowhere and attacked Rokugoh. Her punch sent the general puppet crashing into a wall and left a rather large crater. "General Rokugoh. As a former ally, I will release you from this curse."
The blonde was surprised and impressed at what she saw. "Oh wow. It's been a long time since I saw the boss in action. Looks like you got the power boost." She cracked her knuckles. "Guess I'll join in on the fun too."
Unknown to her, Kurome snuck up from behind and attacked Leone. She felt proud of her sneak attack. "You shouldn't let your guard down. If I ever see the chance, I'll take it and kill you." She had something else in mind as well. "The last one should be close to its target. This'll be over soon enough."
"What the hell you bitch!" Kurome looked behind and gasped at what she saw. Leone's arm was still attached. The blonde was furious at what she tried to do. "How dare you do a sneak attack on me! You're going to pay you little bitch!"
Kurome didn't understand what she was seeing. "That's impossible. I know I felt my sword hit her arm but it wasn't severed? What's going on?"
Wendy stood up. "Now we're ready."
Chelsea was glad to hear that. "That's what I like to hear. Do you know what to do next?"
The younger girl nodded. "Yes. I know I gave Tatsumi the Arms spell but he's still having trouble. I'm going to help him out."
The other girl knew that Wendy wanted to help out more but it was also dangerous. She sighed. "Why not? I'll help you out too. I do have a plan to take out one of those corpses."
Leone was glaring angrily at Kurome for her failed sneak attack. "I'll teach you not to screw around with a lion!"
"That's enough Leone!" The blonde turned to Najenda. "Kurome still has guards. Right now focus on helping out Akame. After that, the both of you can take on Kurome." She started to walk up to the other general. "Let the two ex-generals fight. Rokugoh doesn't have an Imperial Arms so I should be fine. We have some catching up to do."
Leone nodded. "Got it boss." She looked over to Kurome and smiled. "Just sit tight. I'll be going after you next." She rushed over to aid her friend.
Kurome was still trying to figure out what was going on. "How can this happen? Just what is going on?"
Akame dodged another attack from Bols. Just because she has added defense doesn't mean she had to be careless. She had to plan her next attack carefully. "Because of the guard, I can't just jump in recklessly. If I keep moving, I should be able to see an opening." She decided to increase her speed and started to circle around Bols.
The masked man saw through her strategy. "So you're trying to find an opening huh? Then I'll make one for you then." He fired a shot of fire at the assassin but avoided it.
It was just what she asked for. "There it is." She rushed over to Bols but Wall moved in to intercept. However, Akame moved around him and continued to advance to her target. She tried to pierce Bols with her sword but was blocked by his hand being covered by metal. Akame didn't expect that. "So he has protection on his hand. Did he plan on fighting against Murasame from the start?"
Bols pointed his weapon at Akame and shot out fire at her. She managed to duck just in time to avoid it. The assassin jumped back to gain some distance between them. "Quite the dodge she just did." Akame rushed back at him but was kicked back again by the bodyguard. She didn't take any damage though thanks to the Armor spell. During the fight, Bols always wondered something about the assassin. "If I may ask a question Akame, why did you leave the Empire? I'm sure you would've been a great ally to us."
Akame thought back to her old days back when she was working for the Empire and all of the death she had caused. She closed her hand and brought it up to her chest. "I chose to be with Night Raid because my heart told me to. That is what I believe in."
It was a good answer for Bols. "I see. I can understand that but. However…" He pointed Rubicante at her. "It's my job to burn down that belief."
"Hold on there!" Both looked up to see Leone coming at them. She landed next to Akame. "Let me join in on this. That way it'll be two on two." Akame was glad her friend was here now. "Let's do this Akame!"
The other girl looked at their opponents. "He's powerful Leone. We have to be careful."
The blonde smiled. "Got it. Let's take care of them and then we'll take care of Kurome."
Najenda and Rokugoh were running down the canyon. The leader was gauging her own strength. "Because of these injuries Esdeath gave me, my strength had dropped significantly. However, thanks to Wendy's enhancement spell, I feel more powerful than ever." Rokugoh attacked her with his whip but she managed to dodge of all them. "You're going to have to do better than that!" As if he heard her, the former general struck down into the ground. Najenda recognized the technique. "Earthshaker?!" She jumped up into the air so the attack couldn't reach her. Sure enough, the whip came out from the ground. "So you still remember your former move set." She launched part of her robotic arm at the other general but evaded it. That didn't stop her, though. She clicked a button on her arm. "Reel Assault!" Najenda was being pulled back to where her hand was and Rokugoh was right in her path. She then kicked off Rokugoh's head off his body. The leader landed and her hand reattached itself as the other former general fell to the ground.
She thought the fight was over now. That is until she saw the hand move. She gasped as she saw the body rise up. Najenda remembered one memory from him. "What do you say we grab a drink Nanj?"
The body stumbled toward her. It was obvious Najenda was disgusted. "Just what in the hell kind of Imperial Arms is this!?" She kicked the former general up into the air and jumped up. The leader then delivered a powerful blow to the body. So much force was put into it, the whole body exploded.
Meanwhile, Susanoo was still fighting Desta-Ghoul. It let out another powerful blast and he was partially hit. He quickly regenerated his arm. Najenda landed next beside him. "As I thought. We're both pretty stubborn."
Najenda looked over to the monster. "Even though it's a corpse, it's still an S class danger beast. It's difficult to defeat like I thought."
Susanoo had to agree. "Yes that is true but look Najenda." He pointed at the danger beast "That part of the body is sticking out. It's been bothering me for a while now. If I wasn't distracted by it, I wouldn't have been hit by the attack."
Najenda sighed at her Imperial Arms. "We really need to work on your OCD. In any case, we have to take out Kurome soon as possible. Therefore…" She placed her hand out in front. "Susanoo! I hereby permit you to use your trump card!"
The human Imperial Arms nodded. "Understood."
Tatsumi's fight continued on as he jumped toward the ape-like danger beast. "Take this you freaking monkey!" However, he saw another attack coming from Henter and grabbed his blade with his fingers. "This guy is getting really annoying." While he was distracted, the corpse ape slammed its fist into him and sent him back. "Damn it. Them working together is dangerous. If I can just take out of them…" The ape jumped toward him. He wasn't too worried. "Well if it's just you…" He slammed his polearm at it. "I'm more than enough to beat you!"
Henter saw an opening and rushed over to Tatsumi. "Sky Dragon's Claw!" He was kicked in the head by Wendy. "Stay away from him!"
Tatsumi looked over to her. "Wendy? What are you doing here?"
The puppet didn't like to be sneaked attack so he rushed over to her. However, he stopped when he saw another person jump in front of him. "Tribesmen…"
The tribesmen walked up to him and then stabbed Henter with a needle into his forehead. Smoke came out of him. Or rather her. "It's like Akame said. These corpses don't have a will of their own but still retain their memories when they were still alive. I'm sorry to say that I'm not a member of your tribe that was wiped out."
Henter screamed in pain until he was split apart by Tatsumi's weapon. "He won't be getting up again after that. Thanks, Chelsea. You too Wendy."
Both smiled at him until Chelsea saw something. "Right then. You're welcome. Have fun with the monkey!" She ran back into the forest.
"Wait what?!" Tatsumi saw Apeman coming at him. Now that it was just him, this fight was in the bag. "Stay back Wendy! I got this!" He rushed over to the ape puppet. Tatsumi pulled back his arms. "Now, rest in peace!" He dealt several consecutive blows to the body and for the final one, Tatsumi struck at the head and exploded. He sighed as his fight was now done. "Finally. Let's go where Kurome is now."
Wendy nodded in agreement. "Right let's go." Both of them rushed over to where their target was. Wendy was about to reunite with her after a long time since they last saw each other.
Meanwhile, Chelsea continued to run through the forest. She thought about her recent action. "Jeez, what was I thinking going out on the field like that? Even after what I said about Sheele and Bulat being failures as assassins." She smiled as she thought of Wendy. "I guess I have her to blame for making me feel this way."
Kurome was munching on some snacks while thinking about how the whole battle was going. Needless to say, she didn't like it."The intervals between my snack breaks are becoming shorter. I wonder where Wave is. He did get blown away pretty far. No matter. He's tough so he should be alright." She instantly sensed something. "What? No, it can't be. Henter isn't moving. Apeman and Rokugoh too? But they shouldn't have lost this early or easily." She grabbed Yatsufusa. "Damn it. I'll have the eighth move now. I'll have to deal with this myself."
Mine was still continuing to fight against Doya and the fight was well in her favor. She sent several more shots and sent Doya off over a cliff. The pinkette laughed. "You're pretty good but you fought against the wrong opponent. I'm a genius sniper." Suddenly she felt something wet and slimy wrap around her body. Mine screamed as she was lifted up. "What is this nasty thing?!"
Kurome arrived in time. "Oh look, it already caught something. This is my new toy. It's called the Kaiser Frog. It's a frog whose stomach acid can digest anything in its stomach."
Mine struggled to get free. "Let me go!"
Kurome giggled at the sight. "You know, Seryu once told me that a friend of yours was eaten like this once. How fitting you'll meet the same end."
Mine growled. "There is no way in hell I'm going to die in a place like this!" The frog took Mine into its mouth.
At least something went right for the younger girl. "Well, that's one down. Now I need to figure out how to deal with the others."
She heard something land behind her. Kurome turned around to see Tatsumi. "This ends now Kurome! Using the dead as your personal playthings. It makes me sick. I don't care if you are Akame's sister, I'll take you down!"
She didn't seem too worried. "Is that so?" Natala walked up beside her. "I should warn you that Natala is ten times stronger than the monkey you fought.
Back to Najenda and Susanoo, Desta-Ghoul was preparing another attack. "Here it comes! Now Susanoo!"
The human Imperial Arms placed his hands together. "Magatama Manifestation!" A bright light came out of him.
Energy came out of Najenda and entered Susanoo. "In order for Susanoo to use his trump card, the user must use their life energy stored in the magatama in his chest and uses it. However, if this trump card is used three times, the user will die. It's worth it, though. The power he gains is tremendous."
Susanoo completed his transformation. Desta-Ghoul fired off its attack and it was headed straight at him. However, he placed his hand in front and a giant mirror appeared in front of him. "Eight Handed Mirror Shield!" The mirror absorbed the attack. He then redirected the attack right back at the danger beast. It caused considerable damage.
Najenda was impressed by this. "A reflection of the enemies attack. That's the power of a trump card for you."
Susanoo jumped into the air. He delivered a punch to the center and dealt massive damage. The human Imperial Arms then raised his arm and a sword formed in his hand. "Celestial Sword of the Heavens!" Susanoo swiped down at Desta-Ghoul and slashed it through in the middle.
It fell apart completely. Najenda was in awe at what she saw. "What power. I guess that's to be expected of my Imperial Arms."
Her Imperial Arms smiled at her. "Now we can focus on the real target without any distractions."
Najenda slowly stood up. "I'm not worried about that. Let's continue on."
Both Tatsumi and Natala clashed. Both exchanged attacks and Tatsumi saw how strong his opponent was. "Damn this guy is tough even when I'm wearing my armor." They separated from their last attack. "Even with Wendy's power up, we're evenly matched. I guess I shouldn't expect less from the guy who was in the same group as Akame."
Kurome watched the fight continue. "Huh…I'm surprised he can keep up with Natala. Perhaps he's stronger than I thought."
"Sky Dragon's Aerial Arrow!"
Kurome looked to the side to see the ground being torn apart by the wind and it was headed straight at her. She managed to evade in time. Kurome soon saw who did the attack and she wasn't happy to see her. "So it's you. I should've known."
Wendy was looking directly at the other girl. "Hello, Kurome. It's been a while I know."
Kurome wondered where the young dragon slayer was during this entire fight. Now that several of her puppets were done for, it would make sense for her to show up. "I should've run my sword through your head when I had the chance."
The younger girl wasn't intimated by her words. "It's over now Kurome. You've lost."
The other girl didn't think so. "It's not over yet. I still have my frog to take care of you. General Esdeath gave the order to either capture you or to kill you. Since I didn't like you in the first place, I'll just end your life. Now then my little frog, have your next meal!" Suddenly, she heard several gunshots going on inside. Kurome turned to it. "Hey, what's going on?" A thought occurred to her. "No, it can't be. She's still alive in there? How can she be when there's acid in there?" She inspected to see what was wrong. Kurome soon found out the problem. "Aww, it's leaking. That's just great. This means it's useless."
A powerful shot came out of the frog. All of them looked to see Mine climbing out of the hole she had just made and her clothes were partially dissolved. She screamed loudly. "Okay! Now I'm ready to kill a bitch!"
Tatsumi slammed Natala against a wall and turned to see her. "Mine? What happened to you?"
She just growled at him. "I was eaten! What the hell do you think! Also turn around you filthy pervert!"
"How am I the pervert!?" Doya appeared from behind and aimed her guns at the pinkette. However, she punched to the side thanks to the arrival of Susanoo and Najenda. Tatsumi was amazed at what he saw. "The boss? And Su? When did he get so cool?"
This situation was the worse for Kurome. "It's time to give up now Kurome. You're outnumbered." Najenda declared.
Even though it did look bad, she had several things to say. Specifically to Wendy. "Maybe so but I have a little info to say to you, Wendy." The young dragon slayer didn't understand what she meant by that. "We know everything about you now."
Now everyone really didn't know what she meant by that. "What are you saying?" Wendy asked
Kurome smiled. "What I'm telling you is that we all know you're something called a dragon slayer." All of them gasped in surprised when they heard that. "We know you come from a different world called Earthland and Lamia Scale isn't a village you're from. It's the name of the guild you're in. What's more is that you used to be in a guild called Fairy Tail."
And just like that, her secret was out. "H-How do you know all of that?" Wendy questioned.
The other girl was glad to hear that. "Let's just say we know a few people that have a score to settle with you."
Meanwhile, back to Akame and Leone, they continued their fight against Bols and Wall. Both of them rushed toward Bols but he unleashed his fire at them. They jumped into the air to avoid the attack. He didn't understand why they did that. "Why did they jump? They can't dodge in midair."
Leone grabbed Akame's leg and threw her at Bols. "Do it Akame!"
The bodyguard jumped to intercept again. However, Akame was ready this time."If the guard continues to get in the way…" She cut off his leg. "Take him out first." She landed on the wall but Bols blasted off fire at her. Akame jumped off to avoid it.
While Bols was busy attacking Akame, Leone came right at him. "Akame is keeping you busy and the guard is out. Time to finish this!" She felt an arrow deflect off from her arm and managed to slow her down a bit. The blonde growled. "Bastard had a hidden lance in the waiting." Bols pointed Rubicante at her. It was do or die now for Leone as she yelled. She managed to bite off the tip of the weapon and tore it off. Leone tumbled a bit before she stopped and spit out the piece. "Yep, that tastes like defeat."
Bols couldn't believe that just really happened. "She bit off my Imperial Arms."
Akame finished off the bodyguard and turned to him. "Your Imperial Arms is useless now. You can't use it anymore."
Bols had to admit she had a point. "She's right. It's become unusable now. However…" He lifted the container above him. "I still have this." He threw it into the air. "This is the end."
Both Akame and Leone were frightened as they knew what was going to happen. "No, wait!" It was too late. Bols pressed the switch and an enormous explosion occurred. It instantly incinerated the surrounding area.
The others felt how powerful the explosion from where they were. Wendy looked around to find out that Kurome wasn't here. "Where did Kurome go?"
Said girl was being carried by Natala. The whole attack didn't go in their favor. It was a failure. "That explosion. It was caused by Rubicante self-destructing. If Bols is gone, then I can't stay here any longer." A terrible pain went surged within her head. She placed her hand on it. "Damn it. The drugs are wearing off." Kurome breathed heavily. "Akame…did you make it out?
Once the explosion ended, Wendy and the others stood up. "What was that huge explosion?"
Najenda was wondering the same thing. "I don't know but it looked like came from where Akame and Leone were."
Meanwhile, Tatsumi was on top of Mine to protect from the blast. He groaned as he looked at her. "You okay Mine?"
She just groaned as she saw how close Tatsumi was close to her. The pinkette blushed a little and kicked him off. "Get the hell off of me!"
As the smoke cleared, Leone held up the shield Wall had from before to protect her and Akame. The blonde breathed out a sigh of relief. "Damn that was close. You okay Akame?"
The other girl nodded. "Yes, I am. What about you?"
The blonde smiled at her. "I'm still kicking good and well. Still, though…" She looked at the area. "It looks like Bols managed to get away."
Akame wasn't happy to hear that. She wondered what happened to her sister. "Akame! Leone!" The two saw Wendy and the others approaching them. Wendy was glad to see them again. "Are you two alright?"
Leone smiled at the younger girl. "We're fine Wendy. Just a little banged up that's all."
"What happened to Kurome?" Akame asked.
Some of them looked away. "Kurome managed to get away." Tatsumi explained.
Akame was partly relieved that her sister made it out ok but the fact is that since she escaped, their mission was a failure. "That's not even the worst of it." Mine spoke. "We got a bigger problem."
The other two wondered what she meant by that. "What do you mean we have a bigger problem?" Leone asked.
"Bah! What a couple of weak humans!" Everyone heard a new voice and looked around to see where it was coming from. "Although I have to say I'm surprised the girl had a power similar to Master Keyes but it is still inferior compared to him."
Wendy recognized the voice. "That voice…I know it."
One of the walls exploded and something large came out of it. All of them saw who it was. Rugoro took a step forward to them. "Never send humans to finish a demon's job."
Night Raid including Wendy couldn't believe it. Najenda had a feeling ever since Kurome hinted that a few people had something against Wendy. "So it is true then. The demons are working with the Empire."
