A/N: Hello everyone! I'm back with another chapter! And…RWBY Vol 4 has ended by the time this chapter goes up. Great timing! Right so…last two episodes, episode nine and ten, really didn't leave me much to work with. Hence why there wasn't an update. Now that Vol 4 has ended, I suppose I should focus all my attention on this. As of this time, I haven't seen the finale yet so no spoilers. So let us get started with the story. Also, I have not finished the Akame Ga Kill manga by this point either.

A New Beginning: Vol Three
Kill Forty Eight: Looking Back
"And over to our right, we have more forest that is probably filled with Grimm waiting to tear us apart limb from limb if we're not careful."
"And maybe if we're lucky, they'll rip your head off first Chelsea."
"I told you that's not a funny joke Taeko."
Night Raid made it to the continent of Anima but it wasn't easy for one certain girl. In the few days Leone went missing and was separated from the rest of the group, Akame missed the Faunus blonde terribly. She missed the warmth Leone provided her whenever she had to sleep in the bed. During the boat trip over to Anima, some of the team members volunteered to keep her company. They were Kurome, obviously, and surprisingly Esdeath. Chelsea understood her girlfriend had to be there for her sister on the boat trip and Esdeath didn't like how sad her leader was so she was next during the day after they arrived at Anima. Akame did admit Esdeath sleeping next to her did feel a little strange and somewhat wrong because they were former enemies. Still, Esdeath was unexpectedly warm despite her semblance is ice. One thing she was certain of. The faster they arrive at Mistral; the sooner she can hope of reuniting with Leone. "Taeko, did you find the fastest way to Mistral?"
Taeko checked the map again. "We do have a route but we have to go over a mountain if we are to arrive there."
Chelsea sighed at that. "Great…that's going to be a ton of fun."
"I didn't know you think that was fun Chelsea." Rienna spoke.
The other scoffed as she rolled her eyes. "I was being sarcastic."
Akame could care less about what they had to cross over. "It doesn't matter. If we have to go over a mountain, we go over a mountain. Is that clear?"
Everyone perfectly understood their leader. They did notice she had a slight change of attitude but that was probably because she was worried about Leone. Speaking of the Faunus blonde, Esdeath was wondering about something for quite some time. "Hey…Akame?" Her leader glanced back at her teammate. Now Esdeath felt a little unsure about asking her question but decided to ask anyway. "What was…your old team like? Not the one you and Cora were on before but the one you and Leone were on."
Akame looked in front after hearing that question. Now that Esdeath brought it, Cornelia was also a little curious. "Yeah. I mean you did tell us you were on a team of assassins but not much about them other than Najenda who's not only our headmistress back at Shade but was the leader of your old team."
Their leader continued to be silent for a few seconds longer. "Before she was our leader, Najenda was a general of the Empire, same as Esdeath. She defected to join the Revolutionary Army but paid the price in losing both her right eye and arm. Taken by Esdeath." Esdeath whined at that and wondered what has her other self hadn't done yet? Kurome was more surprised by that adoptive mother used to be such a big shot back in Akame's world. She did narrow her eyes at Esdeath for doing such a thing but couldn't blame her for Esdeath's other self's action. "As for the rest of the original members of Night Raid…" Akame looked up toward the sky. "They were wonderful people and the closest I had to a family."
Cornelia smiled a little while giggling. "They've must've been great people then. What can you tell us about them?"
Akame didn't see why not. In fact, it would be good talk about them. "Alright then. I suppose I can start with Lubbock. He was the only member who's been with Najenda the longest, back when they were both with the Empire. When Najenda defected, so did he."
Taeko was rather impressed so far. "I see. His loyalty is rather commendable for her."
Her leader thought otherwise. "That's because he was in love with her."
Kurome's eye twitched a little. "Say what?"
Akame thought her sister would have a reaction like that. "It's true. He did keep it hidden from the rest of us rather poorly. Lubbock was also the only one how called Najenda by her name."
Esdeath smiled at what she heard so far. "That's so sweet. He must've been a great guy."
Her leader scoffed at that. "Except that he occasionally tried to sneak a peek whenever the girls were in the hot spring."
And now Kurome had a more disliking to him. "Really? What a creep."
Akame didn't blame her for saying that but she still had more to say. "Maybe but he was an invaluable ally and a good friend."
"What Imperial Arms did he use?" Rienna asked.
That was a question Akame could answer easily. "His Imperial Arms was called Infinite Uses: Cross-Tail. To describe this weapon easily, you can say it's similar to the one your opponent used Cora."
The blonde of the group could actually see that. "Really? How good was he?"
Akame recalled few of the details. "He was very good. Lubbock used Cross-Tail as a sort of barrier around our base to detect intruders who were close by. However, he wasn't bad in combat either. Lubbock can manipulate the wires he controlled to form various weapons. If the weapons ever impaled one of his targets, the wires can find their way around the heart and cut it to pieces."
Cornelia gulped at the description. "Whoa…" With control like that, she could tell she would never win against him in a fight.
"Sheele was another member of ours." Akame continued. "At first, she may come off as a scatterbrain of sorts but when it comes to killing, Sheele was very prolific at it." Everyone thought not to get on her bad side. "Sheele's Imperial Arms was known as the Shears of Creation: Extase. In a simple description, they're a giant pair of scissors capable of cutting anything and has a considerable defense."
Chelsea raised an eyebrow to that. "Wait, how do you use a giant pair of scissors as a weapon? Seems unconventional if you ask me."
As usual, Takeo thought her friend didn't see the whole picture. "As long as it can be used as a weapon, it doesn't matter. Especially with what Akame described what it can do."
"Besides, you really don't want to mess with someone who can wield a giant pair of scissors that can cut through anything." Kurome added. Chelsea couldn't argue against that.
"Then there's Mine."
Esdeath didn't quite understand what her leader meant. "What's yours?"
Akame thought the name would cause confusion. "No, Mine is the name of the girl who was with us." Now everyone understood what she meant. "Out of all of us in Night Raid, Mine had the most troubled past. Mine was from the Western Tribe back in my world and was treated horribly because half of her blood was foreign. That served as her drive to rid whatever evil there was so others wouldn't suffer as she did." Chelsea couldn't help but feel a little bad about the girl. "Her Imperial Arms was a sniper gun called the Dangerous Adventurer: Pumpkin."
Already Kurome had questions about the name. "Why would you name a gun Pumpkin?"
Akame ignored Chelsea's comment and continued to explain. "Pumpkin isn't like the usual guns all of you have seen before. For one, it fires off concentrated energy given off by the user. The more dangerous its user is in, the more powerful it becomes. It's useful to turn a dangerous situation into an advantage."
Chelsea whistled at that. "That's pretty cool. Wish we had something like back at Beacon."
Her leader couldn't agree more. "Like Sheele, Mine was very good at using Pumpkin. In fact, Pumpkin was once used by Najenda before she passed it on to her. Mine occasionally called herself a sniper genius."
Now Chelsea couldn't help but laugh at that. "Wow? Someone was full of themselves."
"She proved it time and again. Mine would also butt heads with you sometimes, Chelsea."
What Akame mentioned grabbed the other girl's attention. "Really now? Were we friends?"
Akame chuckled a little. "You two had…mutual respect for each other. You sometimes teased her time to time."
That detail sounded very familiar to Taeko. "Sounds like she was the same back in your world."
Akame could tell by the time she spent with her. "Then there was Susanoo."
Esdeath was curious about this person now. "Who's he?"
Her leader smiled at the memories. "To start off, he was an organic human Imperial Arms."
Rienna didn't quite understand that. "A human Imperial Arms?"
Akame slightly nodded. "Yes. Organic type Imperial Arms have the ability to regenerate, making them difficult to defeat. Murasame can't kill them because they do not have a heart."
Already Taeko thought they sounded troublesome. "They must be quite the foes then. Is there a way to defeat such a thing?"
Luckily for her, Akame had the answer. "There are two ways. Either kill the user or destroy the core. Susanoo was very powerful and he was Najenda's new Imperial Arms. He was originally used as a bodyguard for those of high class. On top of him being strong, he was also very talented among other things. Like cooking for one and he could cook over a thousand dishes." Akame really missed Susanoo's cooking.
Chelsea thought that was impressive until she heard that last part. "So basically, he was like a glorified nanny."
"A nanny that can actually kill you." Kurome added.
Akame thought it was a rather crude way of summarizing Susanoo. "Bulat was another member of ours. He was originally a soldier who served the Empire until he left them. The Imperial Arms he used was called the Demon Armor: Incursio."
The name rang a bell for Cornelia. "Incursio…I think you've mentioned that before. Yeah, back at the festival. You and Leone were explaining the whole Imperial Arm thing back then too."
Kurome noticed what the blonde said. "Really? What kind of things she said about them?"
Esdeath tried to remember some of the details. "Something about the Imperial Arms being made from something called dangerous beasts and rare metals. Akame also said something about Cross-Tail having World Severing String."
Taeko was impressed by how the Imperial Arms were created. "I see. That's very interesting."
"I've as said before, Incursio was created by the flesh of the Tyrant Dragon. An S-Class Danger Beast that could survive any of the harshest environments. Its trump card allows its user to turn invisible."
Kurome really liked that little fact. "Turn invisible huh? That's pretty handy."
"It's not as useful as you think it is."
The younger sister questioned Akame's choice of words. "And why's that?"
"Because that's all Incursio can do." Akame replied. "It may hide the user's body but someone skilled could sense the user's aura, making the invisibility useless. That's why masking your aura is very critical."
Now Kurome understood what they had to do earlier in their journey. "So that's you and Leone had us do all that aura training. Except it's for sensing and not hiding."
Her sister was catching on finally. "Yes. I highly doubt anyone in this world can sense aura so all of you do have an advantage when it comes to fighting. In any case, let me get back on topic. Bulat was one of the first people I met along with Leone and Lubbock before Night Raid was formed. One interesting fact about him is that he was gay."
Everyone went silent for a few seconds until Chelsea spoke up. "Huh. That's a surprise. I'm sure you and he hit it off as great friends."
Akame thought differently. "You can say something like that but not in the sense you're thinking. If anything, Leone had a closer friendship to him since they…" She really wasn't sure to tell them that Leone used to drink. Leone may have become younger but that was only her looks. Her age was still the same.
Her pause had the other girl's curious. "They what?" Esdeath inquired.
Their leader sighed as she decided to tell them "They drank together."
That was a surprising detail to know about their friend. "Seriously? Isn't Leone a few years short to drink?" Kurome asked. She really didn't see Leone as the drinking type.
Akame knew this would be troubling but she thought up a good lie. "The drinking age was very different back in our world." She'd hope they would buy it.
Thankfully, they did. "Wow. Your world is something else." Chelsea commented.
Akame quietly sighed they believed her. Now came the most difficult part for her. "Finally, there was Tatsumi. He was the new member of our group and inherited Incursio when Bulat died."
Chelsea chuckled a little hearing that. "So how did he get roped in with you?"
Her leader remembered clearly how they first met. "Tatsumi arrived in the Capital in hopes of making a name for himself to help with his village. However, that didn't work out as he planned. All of us first met him when we had to kill a family who would pick up people who were out of town and experiment and torture them for their own enjoyment. I didn't know how long he had before they moved on to him but he quickly learned the truth. It was too late when Tatsumi learned that the two friends he came along with were captured. One of them was killed while other held on for as long he could before seeing Tatsumi again before passing on."
Esdeath couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the guy. "How awful."
Akame was just getting started. "Tatsumi quickly became a great ally and friend to all of us. Even if everyone fell one by one, he still continued on. Of course, he did have his fair share problem. There were two that were…above all others. One was that he was the main affection for Esdeath."
Once again, Esdeath sighed. "What did I do this time?"
Her leader expected the reaction. It became quite common now whenever she would hear what her past self did. "Nothing much. Just trying to make him love you back. You may remember what Leone said about you back at Beacon."
Esdeath tried to remember what her teammate said before. "Let's just say you put a collar around a friend of ours and dragged him off and then tried to force yourself onto him. Oh, and you were pretty nuts about him too."
Esdeath groaned at the description as she realized what Leone meant. "I'm really glad I'm not like her now."
Akame couldn't agree more. "I do admit I like you as you are now rather than before. However, it seems your taste hasn't changed at all."
The other girls seemed curious as to what Akame meant by that. "What's that supposed to mean?" Esdeath asked.
Her leader figured she better say the truth. "For one and as a comparison, you like a person who is younger than you, is a capable fighter, and has a nice smile. That's pretty much all it took." Esdeath really didn't like she had that in common with her past self. "But unlike you in the past, you're considerate of Ruby's feelings and taking one step at a time." That made her feel a lot better. "Even with that, Tatsumi still powered through until…"
Her pause made Rienna a little worried. "Until what?"
Akame took in a deep breath and exhaled. "There was a time he was captured by the enemy and we had to rescue him with Mine leading the assault. We managed to do it but not costs. For one, Mine faced off against Budo and used all of her power to defeat him. The tradeoff was that Mine was able to defeat him but at the cost of her own life. Second, during our fight against both Esdeath and Budo, Incursio changed Tatsumi, taking a completely different form. It was then we learned that Tyrant Dragon that was used to create Incursio was slowly taking over his body. When he uses Incursio three times, that's when the Tyrant Dragon will completely take him over."
Cornelia gulped at what her leader had explained to them. "And…did it?"
Akame was silent for several seconds. "Yes." Everyone felt how heavy the answer was. "It during the final confrontation with Esdeath that it happened. Although he had transformed, Tatsumi still retained what little consciousness he had. It was then I had to honor our promise."
Kurome could already tell this promise of theirs wasn't good. "And what was that promise?"
Again, Akame didn't speak for a few seconds. "That if I would ever to use Murasame's power, its trump card, I would be deemed as an enemy and asked Tatsumi to kill me should I ever go out of control. If he would turn into the Tyrant Dragon, he asked that I would have to kill him. And I did." None of them uttered a word hearing that. "It was then Murasame's trump card activated and I used it to finally end Esdeath."
Said girl gulped at the description. Kurome had a funny feeling about the trump card her sister mentioned before. "And this trump card, was it the same one you used back in our match?"
"It is." Akame quickly replied. Kurome was really glad their fight didn't escalate to that point. "After everything had happened, what we had to go through, had to endure, only Leone, Najenda, and I were what was left of Night Raid. It wasn't long after we disbanded and went our separate ways. Six months later, I was reunited with Leone again and then after one night, we both arrived in Remnant."
Everyone could pretty much guess the rest of the story up to now. Cornelia had no idea her friend carried such heavy burdens. "I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. You and Leone. I can't imagine how much all of it must've been for you both."
Akame didn't blame her. "It's okay. What happened in the past is in the past but I'll never forget what it's done to me. All I can do now is keep moving forward with all of you by my side."
Finally, they had a reason to smile after hearing what Akame had to say about her old team. "Thanks for sharing all of that with us Akame. I know it must've been hard on you."
Akame smiled at Cornelia's words. "Actually, it felt rather nice to talk about them but you're welcome."
Taeko could understand why her leader would feel that way. "It comes as no surprise. Talking about past friends can help lift one's spirits. It's only naturally you would feel that way."
The other girl though it was a good explanation. "I suppose so. I also feel a little better after saying all of that."
They weren't surprised by that. Akame had a lot buried deep within her so she would feel better after saying all of that. "Akame…" Akame looked back at Esdeath smiling at her. "We'll be here with you all the way. You can always count on us and we'll do the same."
Akame was fully aware of that. In truth, she was afraid history would repeat itself in this world but there wasn't much she could do. However, her world and Remnant were two different things. That thought still didn't quell her worries but it was enough to convince her that things may not end up the same as before. She smiled back at all of them. "Of course. We count on each other. That's how we'll make it through this together." Everyone couldn't agree more. Akame looked forward at the path ahead of them. "And once we reach to Mistral, hopefully, we can reunite with Leone."With that said, everyone continued their journey with an added boost of morale.

"Ah-choo!"
Yang noticed Leone's sneeze while she was carrying her. "You alright?"
Leone sniffed and shook her head a little. "I'm fine. Must've been something from around here." The two were following close behind of Blake who was pursuing the person that was spying on them. The chase led them through parts of Menagerie. While Blake was jumping tree to tree, Leone was pretty much running on the group but could keep up with Blake. The chase eventually led to the spy landing on the roof of a house and Blake continued to follow. Leone and Yang finally landed on the roof and continued to follow Blake. All of them were hoping across rooftop to rooftop.
The spy looked back to see the other Faunus not giving up her chase. It became inevitable to the spy that Blake wasn't going to stop. The spy stopped soon after sliding under some pipes and turned around to face Blake. The spy's colors changed and took out a weapon that seemed to be a cross between a whip and a gun. Blake hesitated for a second before running toward the White Fang member. The spy sent her whip to the pipe and struck it to let the steam out but Blake made it out without a problem. She still didn't understand why a member of the White Fang was here. "Why are you watching me?"
The member didn't give an answer to her. Leone finally reached the other Faunus girl and jumped over her. Both she and Yang landed to the side of the member and Leone set her mother down. "How about you make this easy on yourself and give it up?" Her response was the spy attacking both blondes and had to separate in two different directions.
Blake took this an opportunity and rushed at the member. She jumped and kicked a scroll the spy was holding out of the hand. Yang yelled as she jumped at the spy and pinned her to the ground. "Blake, get the scroll now! I think it's important to her!"
The member struggled to break free. "Get off!" She headbutted Yang and that was enough to break free. Her mask was destroyed as a result. The spy quickly stood up and chased after Blake for the scroll.
Leone then intervened and backhanded the member away from Blake. The Faunus blonde turned to her. "Get it now!"
Blake didn't argue and continued running after the scroll. The member groaned as she stood up and pointed her weapon at her. "Watch out, Blake!"
Blake turned around due to Yang's warning. All of them saw the mask completely break apart and revealed the member's face. It was one Blake recognized. "Ilia."
Leone looked at the two girls while being a little confused. "You two know each other? She doesn't even look like a Faun-" Ilia sent her whip while suddenly changing color at Leone and struck into her shoulder while emitting electricity into the wound.
"Leone!" Yang and Blake saw their daughter fall to the ground.
Ilia pointed her weapon back at Blake. "Give it to me."
Yang's eyes changed color out of anger. "I'll make you pay for doing that!"
Blake was hesitant on what to do next before making her decision. "No."
Ilia changed color once again and had a worried look on her face. "You shouldn't have come back." She struck the ground across and steam came out. Yang and Blake block it out with their arms and once the steam cleared they lowered their arms to see that Ilia was gone.
Both girls turned to their daughter and were very worried. "Leone!" They ran over to her.
Yang was the first to kneel down next to the Faunus blonde. "Please say something!"
To their relief, Leone groaned a little in pain. "Ah…son of a…that freaking smarts."
She started to sit up with Blake helping her. "Are you okay?" She took a closer look at the wound and it seemed like it hurt.
Leone hissed a little at the pain. "I'm fine. I'm fine. Believe it or not, I took way worse things than that."
Although Blake was glad to hear that, that didn't help with her guilt. "But you got hurt."
Her daughter laughed a little despite the pain she was feeling. "Don't worry about it. It'll heal up quick." That didn't make Blake feel any better. Again, someone Blake cared about was hurt because of her. It wasn't as serious as Yang but she still felt responsible.
After a few more seconds, Leone started to stand up. "Take it easy." Yang knew how tough her daughter was but it did seem like the wound really hurt. Once the Faunus blonde stood up, Blake walked over to where the scroll was and picked up. Yang glanced at it a little. "How about we head back and see what's in the scroll that was so important to her."
Blake turned around to look at both Yang and Leone. "Alright."

Ruby had stars in her eyes when held Wave's weapon and had one of her smiles. "This is so cool! Such a great weapon!"
Nora was looking around the weapon curiously. "So where does that giant monster come out?"
Jaune really didn't think it was a good idea. "Are you sure you should be holding that?"
Their comments didn't escape Wave. When he was asked by Ruby to see if she could have a closer look at his Imperial Arms, he was a little hesitant at first but then remembered she wields a scythe twice her size. Wave kinda figured she would be careful with it. "I've never met anyone who had such an interest with Grand Chariot."
Qrow wasn't the least bit surprised. "Ruby always had a fascination with weapons." Wave thought it that was quite odd for a girl of Ruby's age to be interested in weapons. Qrow glanced back at the weapon and had a few questions. "Should we worry about anyone else using that thing?"
Wave chuckled at the question. "Not really. Only I can use Grand Chariot's power."
While that was good to hear, Qrow wasn't quite sold on it yet. "And why's that?"
"Because I'm only compatible with it." Wave replied. "An Imperial Arms can only be used if it's comparable with its user. It's more like they choose who uses them."
Qrow thought that was quite interesting. "You don't say. That's quite the helpful little system."
"Hey, Wave?"
Wave looked back at Ruby who seemed to be unsure of something. "What is it?"
Before Ruby could ask her question, she quickly walked up to him to hand back Grand Chariot. He took it and sheathed back in. After that, Ruby went back to Jaune and the others. "Right so…you're from the same world as…well, you know." She knew how sensitive a topic Akame was to him.
Wave didn't mind too much. "Go on."
Ruby took that as an okay from him. "She and Leone told us a lot about the Empire and I was wondering what you thought of it."
Nora thought the question was brilliant. "Oh yeah. We know one side but not the other. How about spilling some secrets?"
Wave thought about the question for a few moments. "Alright, fine but it's not much." He looked forward again. "To start off, I'm not originally from the Capital. I was in the Imperial Nary. I was sent over to the Capital because I was chosen to be part of the team."
"The Jaegers." Ren spoke.
Wave wasn't surprised by that. At this point, he figured Akame told them everything from her side. "Yes. I was new to the Capital so I didn't know how things worked over there. I kinda figured things out here and there thanks to Seryu."
"What did she do to help?" Jaune asked.
Wave sighed as he lowered his head. "We were on a mission to capture some bandits who we thought were part of Night Raid. When I caught up with her, I saw drops of blood coming from Koro. That's when I figured out she massacred them. I knew they were bandits but even I thought what she did to them was extreme. I tried to explain to her just because we're Jaegers doesn't mean we can do whatever we want. However, to her, they were still evil and didn't think she did any wrong. That's when I realized that the current state of the Empire was bad for her to be that kind of person."
Qrow had a question of his own. "If it was as bad as you think it was, why still be a part of it?"
For Wave, the answer was obvious. "Because I still had the duties of a soldier. Besides, I had to repay a favor to someone."
Qrow didn't know what to think of Wave's answer. "A loyal dog huh?"
There was something else Ruby wanted to know. "And what about Esdeath? What was she like?"
Her question sparked some enthusiasm from Nora. "Yeah! Akame said that she was some raging psychopath who drank the blood of her enemies!"
Wave didn't know what to think of the description. "W-Well…I have heard what the Commander had done but that's only to her enemies. To her allies, she was quite nice. Considerate even. Whenever she was given a huge reward, she would just give it all to the soldiers who needed it more."
Ren defiantly saw the differences between Wave's and Akame's description of Esdeath. "In short, in considering each side, she would be an ally to count on and an enemy who was dangerous."
"And the General even trained me for a short amount of time."
What Wave said caught Ruby's attention. "You were trained by Esdeath?"
Wave chuckled at the question. "Yes, and I thought it was a good opportunity. I wanted to get stronger so I asked her."
Jaune was a little curious to know more about the whole thing. "So what did you train?"
Wave was silent for a few seconds. "To use two Imperial Arms at the same time." Ruby and the others silently gasped when they heard that. "When it comes to the Imperial Arms, a person can only wield one. If one were to use two at the same time, it would certainly bring about destruction. The General thought I had what it took to use two Imperial Arms but the second also had to be compatible with me. It was the quickest way for me to become stronger."
Qrow thought back to Wave's fight against Tyrian. "He was already plenty strong as is. I hate to see what he could do with two of those weapons. Still, I'd rather have that kind of power on our side."
After all of that explaining, Ruby had one more question for him. "So can you use two at the same time?" Wave was about to answer until he saw a couple of signs up ahead. The group walked up to the signs and saw which directions they lead. One of them had Ruby hopeful. "Hey, look!" She pointed at one of the signs. "That says Mistral. We're almost there."
All of them looked at the direction the sign was pointing at. It didn't make Jaune happy. "That path goes over the mountain."
Qrow didn't seem too fazed by it. "It hasn't been easy the entire trip. Why start now?"
Wave looked back at the sign and noticed something unusually odd. "Why the name Kuroyuri scratched up?"
"That's not important." Ren spoke up. "Let's just get Mistral." He was already walking away from the group.
Jaune and Ruby thought it was strange since they've never seen Ren speak out like that before. "What's gotten into him?" Jaune asked.
Nora giggled nervously and smiled at them. "It's…nothing. Come on, Mistral is just a hop, skip, and a mountain away." She left next after Ren.
The way Nora acted was strange even for her. Ruby and Jaune looked at each other not knowing why they were acting the way they did. "I guess we move forward then."
Jaune had to agree with Ruby. "Yeah…I guess so." They started to walk the path where it led toward Mistral.
Qrow quickly followed them but stopped when he noticed Wave was standing still. "What are you looking at?"
Wave kept on staring at the direction to where Kuroyuri was for a few seconds long before turning to the other path. "It's nothing." He didn't say anymore and started to walk with Qrow alongside him. Even though he said it was nothing, that wasn't what his gut was telling him. "For some reason, I can't shake off this weird feeling. I don't know why but something about it bothers me."
A/N …I did all of this while back on episode nine. Son of a…guess that's I deserve for underestimating how long this chapter would be. Sorry to put all of you through such an unnecessary waiting time. I didn't think it would be this long. Also as a defense, I did look up the Akame Ga Kill Wiki and found out Murasame was destroyed. This was something I decided on myself and can figure out how that happened. Now I made this story before the final chapter was up so there was no way of knowing that would happen in the manga. Hence wise, why Akame still has Murasame in this story.
