Next chapter, also if anyone asks me to use the Tyrant head ability I won't use it as I plan to use that in another story in the future.
Chapter 12: Tame the beasts and the arrival of the Oreburg.
Gappi-marsh.
"Jesus Christ! This is ridiculous!" what was ridiculous was Gappi-marsh known as the place filled to the brim with danger-beasts and Tatsuya was currently chased by some although the chase didn't look that deadly as it looked from afar very funny, Tatsuya was getting chased by some oversized bunnies with sharp teeth and Silver cleared out the last horde of danger-beast and was simply watching and rolling on the ground laughing his ass off.
"Are you done with laughing Silver!" shouted Tatsuya with shark teeth and white eyes as he quickly jumped over a boulder, normally Tatsuya could control any kind of danger -beast with intelligence or no intelligence, but the problem was that these were baby bunnies and they were underdeveloped and had no sense of danger and bunnies didn't have anything like a system of recognizing the alpha. Silver continued to laugh his ass off, he knew that he was getting punished as soon as Tatsuya killed the bunnies but it was worth it and he knew that Tatsuya wouldn't do any real harm to him.
Silver was from a small horde of a rare kind of danger-beasts that didn't stay in one place and always moved in order not to get caught by humans since they possessed intelligence that would be beneficial to them, Silver was very smart at young age but in return he was born a bit weak unlike his strong brothers who were less smart them him and always bullied him, stole his food and sometimes attacked him if his parents weren't looking and as soon as his father saw this is was getting worse as his father was a harsh one that had no symphaty for him and then they left him on a rainy day.
Then Tatsuya came out of nowhere as he found him and nursed him back to health, he's been giving him medicine and a lot of meat and other types of food like fruits, fish, and vegetables, that was another part of why his breed was wanted since they weren't carnivores and ate fruits and vegetables which was rare for the dragon types to do since their digestion system wasn't able to digest the plants and fruits were too sweet for the dragons that's why the dragon type danger-beast avoided eating them as much as possible.
Meeting Tatsuya was the best thing that could happen to Silver as he got stronger and got some good friends, the elite 8 was very nice to him and Silver could easily read them, Cornelia as the big sister type, Poney as the strong but goofy one, Tsukushi the friendly one, Green the trying to look cool one and a bit of a closet pervert, Kurome as the little sister which she was and Najasho as the stoic type but a bit of a tsundere of admitting things but it was really funny to see him blushing like a cherry after Poney had him on the ropes this time.
"SILVER!" shouted Tatsuya again making Silver laugh his ass of again as he saw that Tatsuya almost tripped and that one of the bunnies almost bit his ass and what was most funny was that a piece of Tatsuya's pants was ripped off showing his underwear to the world. "Silver! I swear I will serve you to Akame and Kurome once I'm done with them!"
Silver still grinned at him and suddenly he felt weird like his wings got lighter and everything in front of him became more clear, Tatsuya notices that Silver wasn't laughing anymore and saw that Silver was confused.
"Silver! Are you okay there?" shouted Tatsuya as he stopped in his tracks and swiped the bunnies into the forest killing them as they hit the trees on impact and got eaten by some giant plants, Silver wanted to reply back that he was okay but a bright light covered him making Tatsuya worry and wanted to go over and help him but the light was so bright that the grass around Silver was burning so Tatsuya shielded his eyes from the incredibly bright light. "WHAT THE!"
What Tatsuya didn't notice was that there was a danger beast coming from behind him attracted to the bright light that Silver was emitting and that the Oreburgs had also taken notice of the bright light.
Saltworks.
"I thought that there would be people here, but this place is empty," said Gin who was looking around with her team in the saltworks and they have found no one there, but that's what made them more anxious and a bit stiff even if Gozuki was with them he did openly admit that he was even scared of the Oreburgs.
"The silence is making me already anxious." voice Natala his own thoughts out.
"Don't worry about that Natala, we have our training with Tatsuya and we almost are at the elite 8 level, besides~" Gin leaned forward and placed her mouth near Natala's ear who blushed at how close they were, even after having sex he was still easy to embarrass. "Then I can help you to get rid of your anxiousness~" purred Gin into his ear making Natala stiffen in place as Gin licked his earlobe as an extra measure.
Natala thanked Tatsuya and praised him as a god inside of his mind that he got so lucky with Gin! But Natala suddenly froze again not from embarrassment or excitement but in fear as he sensed a pair of eyes that seemed to throw all kinds of imaginary weapons against his back and Gin wasn't looking behind him and had her head pressed against his chest while her eyes were closed but Gin noticed how he tensed differently and felt it herself that she was also looked in a weird way.
"Who's there!" shouted the couple as they both turned around to see no one, and yet they knew that there was someone standing there a few moments ago and that the person was standing there for a few minutes before being noticed by the couple.
"I really don't want to be here, the Oreburg are crazy skilled." shuddered Gin while hugging Natala very close to herself while Natala did the same as he felt that the ominous feeling was directed mostly at him and a bit of Gin, but who wanted to get Gin needed and should pass him first and he wouldn't easily give in and ask Tatsuya for the most hellish training ever.
Yep, that's how big his love for Gin was and how far he was willing to go through, though he might regret that he would ask Tatsuya for the most hellish training.
Gozuki caught up with them and saw how the 2 were and immediately saw that there was something was wrong, most would see that it was just a sweet moment between the couple but Gozuki was an assassin and saw their body language that there was something off about the place or that something was near them so ominous that it scared them to death and made them hug in fear.
"Are you 2 alright?" asked Gozuki as the couple turned to him with a few fearful looks.
"W-We are, but we do know we're not alone since I felt someone looking at me," replied Natala back to Gozuki who gritted his teeth. "Come with me, the other ones have found a mountain of carcasses of incredible dangerous danger beasts!" said Gozuki and began to run away followed by the 2 teens, the 2 teens followed Gozuki while keeping their eyes out and saw the mountain of carcasses of danger-beasts and they recognized a few of the species and gulped a bit in fear.
"Oh god! I see a King Gappi, Death pit snakes, Venom Hawks, 2-headed Hell dogs and even a few dragon danger beasts!" said Gin as she saw all the structures and similarities of the bones and danger-beasts.
"This is ridiculous! What kind of training did they underwent to achieve such power!?" said Natala as he felt the eyes that threw imaginary weapons at him again in his back but he couldn't risk turning back to look who this person was and why the person hated him so much, but for some reason he couldn't help but look at Gin like that she had a reason to do with the hate targeted at him.
Other Elite 7 members
The others found nothing and no single person which was not strange but even the quietness of the salt-works was even terrifying for them. "We've been searching everywhere and haven't found anyone yet," said Green who got more anxious the minute they spend there.
"Have they been eaten by danger-beasts?" wondered Tsukushi.
"I doubt it, the danger-beasts here are way too big to enter this and there is no damage here at all or a single drop of blood," said Kurome while Cornelia ordered Nata to sniff any blood and her friend shook her head meaning that there was no blood at all.
"Nata doesn't smell anything here, so it means they weren't killed," added Cornelia, she was worried as she didn't sense anyone at all but she was more worried about her boyfriend, even if Tatsuya was very strong it didn't mean she couldn't be worried.
"This place did seem to be functional not too long ago," commented Kurome as she scratched Owltrix underneath its beak making Owltrix close his eyes and enjoy the scratching. "Besides it's not possible to run away from here except if you're skilled at the level of our father."
"Should we check by the neighboring villages, to see if they went there?" suggested Green.
"There are no neighboring villages around this place and if there is then there far away, so that's not an option," said Tsukushi shooting down Green's suggestion. "But I'm more worried about Tatsuya at the moment, even though Silver is with him."
Green looked a bit weird at that, Tatsuya tamed Silver, right? So why should they worry if he was able to tame an S-class Danger-beast and some other rare danger beasts, wait! If Green remembered correctly then Tatsuya found them as babies and they were young and danger beasts normally follow the one that shows them kindness and strength and since they were so young it means that Tatsuya never tamed them just earned their trust.
"I-I see now, Tatsuya has never shown any skills in taming at all, our partners here were babies before they could mature," said Green now understanding their worry with him joining them int he worries as well. "Silver and the others were never tamed at an older age meaning that we really don't know if he has taming skills."
"Tatsu-nii, you better not die otherwise I will go to the afterlife and drag you back to the land of the living!" thought Kurome but she also unconsciously pouted a bit and narrowed her eyes, Akame noticed this and saw that she was worried about Tatsuya since he was her big brother. "Don't worry Kurome, Tatsuya will be able to handle his mission."
"That doesn't mean I can't worry about him!" retorted Kurome back but then blushed as she recognized that she was shouting back to her sister and in front of the others and Cornelia got a perfect idea for something.
"Ara? Is little Kurome in love with her big brother~?" teased Cornelia making her sputter in denial, who knew that Kurome was a tsundere~? Akame and Tsukushi giggled a bit to see their little sister getting all red in embarrassment, but Akame saw something in her little sister's eyes and she saw a hint of...Envy?
With Gozuki.
Running like the devil was on your back, that was what Gozuki was doing with Natala, Gin, Najasho, and Poney as they hauled ass as quick as possible to get away from the saltworks, when they discovered that the Oreburg were there they immediately left. "Poney! Is there anyone chasing us!?"
Poney spins around while keeping running and saw no one and yet that scared her the most. "No one! I don't see a sign of the enemy coming for us!" replied Poney while sweating, Najasho wasn't the one that got easily scared but even he was impressed as he saw the carcasses of the danger-beasts that were killed, he knew the species and their strength and it made him confirm that the Oreburg were people that defied the rules.
"Keep going! we don't know that for sure!" said Natala running next to Gin, but none of them noticed that there was a small purple beetle that was clinging on Gozuki's clothes, but not in the case of Najasho who saw the beetle and narrowed his eyes a bit as the bug gave him a wrong feeling.
Back at the hotel.
"So, in the end, we have found nothing at all," said Gozuki in a disappointed tone making the others look down.
But Gin butted in. "Except that we have got a small glimpse of the Oreburg's strength." was her comment making the other team confused while Natala broke down in sweat as he recalled the carcasses and the killer intent aimed at him. "The number of carcasses we saw was terrifying, those were danger-beasts that almost reach the level of Silver." and the couple really wished that Tatsuya and Silver were there with them since they were still scared.
The other team looked worried as they could see that they were scared since their bodies betrayed them from hiding it. "Were they that powerful?" asked Green worried.
"I saw no blood on the danger-beasts and I saw visible cracks in the bones and skulls," answered Natala while holding Gin close to him while Gin was shaking as she thought back to it.
"We need to rest and wait until Tatsuya arrives back to us, he still needs to search for some rare danger-beasts," said Gozuki but he saw that many of them disagreed and that they wanted to search for him and help him.
What they didn't know was that Tatsuya or Tatsumi wasn't going to use the taming Teigu he found when the revolution was won, he couldn't take the risk of having someone seen the arms and that they would have thoughts that he could create more of them, he did know about how the Teigus were building like and that was the danger of using them so he had to rely on his skills and use his roars or have to fight them head-on.
Gappi-Marsh.
Tatsuya could be described in many words, calm, unpredictable, good-looking, a perfect husband, reliable, wise and easy to go around with but now he was another word and that was 'stunned' because he was looking at Silver who looked WAY different from what he looked like. Silver had now 4 wings that were glowing a white light and on his head were 2 curved horns that pointed forward and its tail had now taken the form of a 2-sided halberd and was bigger.
"I really need to study you better now, Silver, is this evolution!?" said Tatsuya as he never expected that Silver would become like this at all, Silver himself was surprised how he turned out to be but he glowed then again and Tatsuya shielded his eyes as the light hurt his eyes a bit, thank god for his tyrant eyes since without them he was sure that he would be blind for some period of time.
"Uhm? Big brother, I'm very confused how I turned out to be?" said a feminine voice which got Tatsuya alarmed and confused since he didn't recall anyone being here thanks to his superior senses and he could still smell Silver.
"Who are you-!" Tatsuya's jaw dropped to the ground as he looked at the figure before him, standing there was a beautiful tall woman with white hair and red eyes and she had a body that rivaled with that of Esdeath of Najenda's with ease and had beautiful snow-white skin, but her beauty was not the only thing because she was standing before him naked and Tatsuya's eyes roamed all over her body.
"Big brother? Is something wrong?" asked the woman but she got confused when she heard herself and looked down to see her body and looked surprised and began looking all over herself.
"S-S-Silver! How! And weren't you a male!?" shouted Tatsuya confused as hell as he was sure that Silver was a male danger-beast and not a female danger-beast but his eyes began to look down again.
Silver herself was very confused what happened to herself, only that her body had changed and not her gender. "I honestly have no idea how my body changed that into a human one but I can tell you know that sometimes my kind changes gender but I have never heard of this kind of transformation," answered Silver honestly and then began to check her body again and got curious about her breasts and cupped them in her hands and began squeezing them giving Tatsuya a little show.
"S-Stop that now! Okay, we can talk about this later but the question is if you can transform back in your danger-beast body?" asked Tatsuya hopefully since this made a little wrench in his plan. Silver nodded and closed her eyes and she began glowing again and transformed back into her dragon form making Tatsuya sigh in relief and disappointment that she could still change and the other was not being able to see her human body, Silver changed back into her human form not bothered that she was naked and had no clothes on, not that she had any on in most of her life.
"Big brother, can you explain the reason why human females have these? They're rather heavy and hurt my back a little bit," said Silver as she pointed at her exposed chest that was enormous.
"I-I will tell you later! For now, we must search for S-Class danger beasts! And we still haven't found any yet-!" Tatsuya stopped with talking as he felt something from the soil and Silver noticed as well and stood next to Tatsuya uncaring that her breasts touch him. Tatsuya wasn't blushing but rather pleased since he did become a bit of a pervert but he wouldn't go far as where Lubbock goes.
But moving on as Tatsuya saw in the distance a giant black dragon standing on 2 feet and had 2 heads both of them looking menacingly and it's 2 giant arms looked heavy as it was rather slow but its attention was focused on the other danger-beast as it was snarling at a long and giant serpentine danger-beast that was armored from the head to tail and it appeared to be blind as it had no pupils and it was fast.
"Jackpot! Silver let's go and capture them!" said Tatsuya as he activated Arch Sabre while Silver transformed into her danger-beast form but Tatsuya didn't know that the black dragon had something similar to Silver.
Chelsea.
Chelsea was outside the one of the Oreburgs hideout cleaning the outside a bit with a smile but on the inside, she missed Barbara and Teako very much since Barbara's wisdom made her learn new things and Teako was easy to tease as she was more of a confused type that doesn't know about sex which was for Chelsea a great opportunity to tease her about it and see her go cherry-red.
"Hey, Chelsea." Gilberda came out and walked towards her. "Do you have any free time now?" asked Gilberda with a gentle smile. Chelsea shook her head. "No, I actually have cleaning duty so I can't go with you-!" but before Chelsea could finish Gilberda grabbed her and dragged her along while Chelsea herself was struggling and saying that she could walk instead of being carried away. They came in an alley and Gilberda motioned her to peek around the corner.
"You see that girl over there?" asked Gilberda pointing at a girl with blond hair and blue eyes and had 2 lotus flowers decorated in her hair, Chelsea was confused but merely nodded back to Gilberda. "She must be a village beauty, but why are you showing me this?"
A boy walked up to her and she smiled and took his arm in hers and they began walking away happily. "Did you see that Chelsea?" asked Gilberda with a frown
"They look like a happy couple to me, but I don't see the difference between a normal relationship," answered Chelsea confused back why she asked that question. "Right, now we need to go this way.
They walked to a nearby inn that looked expensive and Gilberda went to the desk and said the room number and was handed the key and together they went to the room and entered it. "Um? Can you tell me why we're here?" asked Chelsea.
"The closet ought to do it," said Gilberda opening the closet and turned her head to Chelsea. "We're going to hide here Lady Chel." and Chelsea got only more confused then she was but git dragged into the closet but it was left a bit open allowing the girls see through a crack. "Madam Mera came."
Chelsea looked through the crack and saw it was Merraid but also the village beauty girl who followed her with a nervous look on her face. "Huh? Why is she with that village beauty from before?"
"She has brought the village girl here to have some fun with her!" whispered Gilberda with a fierce blush and drooled a little bit and also had a perverted look on her face while Chelsea was shocked and feared and hoped that it wasn't 'that' kind of fun she was mentioning.
But unfortunately luck was not on Chelsea's side as she saw that the village girl's dress was ripped open by Merraid exposing her breasts, the village girl had a giant blush and before she could react Merraid pushed her on the bed and groped her breast skillfully as the girl let out a huge moan.
"Aaah~!"
Merraid crawled closer to the girl who didn't resist at all and allowed her to do anything she wanted, Chelsea watches the scene play before her with horror as she now understood why Merraid was so into touching her, she was trying to win her over!
"Tch! Some village girl would easily fall for Madam Mera's techniques easily! Still, she's so heartless doing this when she already has me!" complained Gilberda with a small pout while Chelsea didn't react at all still shocked at the revelation. "I can't stand it to see the person I like, sleep with someone else in bed before my very eyes! It hurts me so much!" the dramatic of Gilberda made Chelsea sweatdrop.
"If it hurts so much, why did you come to watch it! And I'm straight!" were Chelsea's thoughts.
"So then what do you do suppose accounts for this growing arousal inside me?" said Gilberda with a fierce blush still present on her face making Chelsea have doubts that she was a skilled assassin with all the quirks that go with it.
Back to Merraid who was finished was lying down on the bed with the girl. "T-That was a 100 times more amazing then what my boyfriend does to me~!" said the girl panting in pleasure. "It feels so good being with a girl in bed~!"
"Heh, Heh, I'm glad you see the light now," said Merraid with her neverending smirk on her face.
Gilberda seemed almost to explode with excitement. "That's Madam Mera's goal! To persuade the girls to choose the proper path of love!" she said with adornment and pride about the goal of Merraid while Chelsea had a disgusted look on her face that it made her look like she wanted to puke so badly. "You're talking about her hobbies, this has nothing to do with the mission and besides I'm not into girls!"
Gilberda looked shocked at what Chelsea said. "How can you say that! You already joined Madam Mera's harem!" said Gilberda making Chelsea looked shocked at what she said. "NO! I didn't! I cam to train and not join her! I'm straight just like Teako!" said Chelsea a bit louder then she wanted but lucky for her this time the girl already left to break up with her boyfriend.
"Just give it a try, Chelsea! The rewards of her are amazing and she can give you more pleasure than any male!" encouraged Gilberda with a little bit of pushiness in her voice also a bit of mild annoyance mixed with it. "And she keeps our work fun also."
"You've got an awfully strong sense of loyalty toward Madam Mera," commented Chelsea.
Gilberda smiled and looked at her hands. "I don't know if it is a medical condition but I was born with superhuman strength and that caused my parents to fear me and sold me off to the empire." she leaned back to the wall and looked above and closed her eyes. "I could've wound up to be a test-subject but the Oreburgs brought me up here and took care of me, they let me work so I feel hugely indebted to them."
"I-I take it that it counted the same for Cassandra that she came from similar circumstances," commented Chelsea as she was surprised that the Oreburgs would be that kind to strangers, Gilberda nodded and said that what she said was right. The door suddenly opened and Merraid was standing there with only her skimpy panties on and looked at them with a smile.
"She left, thanks wait for the girls." Chelsea looked scared and dropped the lollipop out of her mouth in fear, Gilberda rushed up to her and hugged Merraid tightly while crying that she was heartless to do that in front of her, she apologized for it but it sounded more amusing than an actual apology but Gilberda didn't notice it at all due to her crying. "To make amends I'll be extra rough with you~!" said Merraid in a seductive tone which made her shudder.
"W-Wel, I'll be leaving now, ehehe!" said Chelsea trying to escape from it but Casandra who appeared out of nowhere and restrained Chelsea. "Lady Chelsea, you mustn't run away."
"Cassandra!" yelped Chelsea in surprise and fright as she realized that her escape failed. Casandra then attacked Chelsea's neck and began to nibble on it making Chelsea moan and struggle and Cassandra used her 2 other hands to grope Chelsea underneath her maid uniform. "Please wake up to the truth too, Lady Chel," and with that, she blew into her ear. "Now come to bed with me~!" said Cassandra with a blush.
"W-When I signed up for this to be an assassin I knew I had to cast all my morals aside, BUT I still don't want this and I'm not inot girls and want to fin my own love-!" suddenly her eyes went wide open when some memories flooded into her head about a boy with brown hair and green eyes and a smile as bright as the sun, Cassandra looked suprised and stopped her assualt when she saw the wide eyes of Chelsea, Chelsea immediately stormed out of the room as she wanted to do some things.
Merraid also looked surprised but didn't stop pleasuring Gilberda but did stop when one of her wrigglers came in and landed on the top of her fingernail. "Oh? It seems that my wrigglers have found our targets hideout, and just when things were getting good too."
"WHAAAT!?" shouted Gilberda in horror that Merraid stopped and heard what she said.
Town of Sweun.
The Oreburgs arrived at the town of Sweun and looked around and Merraid was smiling but on the inside, she was still a bit frustrated that she didn't get to finish things were she started with Gilberda. "My, I can see that this is a perfect cover and they can gather easily intel from here," commented Merraid.
"S-Shall we search the area?" suggested Chelsea who was still trying to wrap her head around this that she was back to her assassin days of training underneath the Oreburg, she was lucky that her acting skills didn't go down even when she got back in time and with this she can get stronger and faster at this rate. "Tatsumi, I don't know what you did but you have altered history for the sake of us? Damn you, you stole my heart all over again."
"Sure, though there are more enemies then I thought, let's keep our distance and investigate slowly and carefully, we don't want them to catch up with us."
With the Elite 8.
The elite 8 was resting a bit as their search had been nothing but a waste of time, even though they did find the saltworks there was no one there only things left was the strength of the Oreburg.
"We've found nothing worthy of mentioning and nothing has happened with the peace and quietness of the trade," said Gozuki with a frown that he wasn't able to find anything.
"Then it is just as we thought, the enemy has fled and abandoned the saltworks that's all," said Poney with a smirk as she sat on Najasho's lap who didn't mind and held her close to him.
"We can't afford to be optimistic," butted Green in as he was polishing a gem that he was able to find. "The danger-beasts left by the Oreburg was an example of their power, and since we killed 2 of their members one of who is incredibly famous their reputation is in danger and they must act quickly if this got out."
"He's right if word got out that the empire has soldiers that are able to beat a famous assassin from the Oreburg, the revolutionary army will have doubts and many others who want to hire them so they need to eliminate us before we can report them," added Najasho his 2 cents in.
"We'll be on extra guard at least for the weeks and if nothing happens, then we return to our regular activities," ordered Gozuki and all of them nodded, Gozuki went back to thinking and they were right about one thing and that was that they were being hunted by the Oreburg and he was sure that after a few weeks they wouldn't quit.
3 weeks later.
The screen focused on a hotel where the Oreburg stayed as they were discussing their research. "The results of our investigation have given us the whole picture of the Suekeni trade firm, it changed 5 years overhand," explained Daniel reading from a notebook.
"Just get me to the bottom line, Daniel." Merraid was getting a little bit impatient. "You virgins are so longwinded."
Daniel didn't react at all to her insult. "Everyone working on the firm is an agent of the empire on some kind of mission, as such, I don't see a problem with treating anyone there working as a target.
"That means we can launch an attack without worrying about holding back.
"But I suggest we take a few alive in order to extract information from them," suggested Daniel making Merriad hum in agreement. "All right, then we pull back until we've at least secured a few for questioning, then we can kill anyone who's left," replied Merraid with a dark smile.
Daniel nodded. "Yes, any day now, I can expect they'll be lulled into letting their guard down and resuming their activities again.
Akame, Kurome, and Natala.
The trio was walking around wanting to relive their selves a bit by enjoying the peaceful nature around them, Akame and Kurome didn't let their guard down and used their aura to enhance their senses.
"Man! So we have to start all over from scratch again!" complained Kurome with a pout wishing that her Tatsu-nii was here since he always knew something to do or had a few things to tell them about.
Akame chuckled at seeing her little sister pouting, Kurome was always easy to provoke a bit. "We have no choice, let's be thorough and take one step at the time," said Akame making Kurome nod but she was still pouting.
Natala smiled at seeing their interaction with each other. "For now we just have to decide which towns we do our trading in," suggested Natala to the sisters who nodded at his suggestion. "I think-!"
Time suddenly slowed down for Natala as a voice in his head shouted at him, it sounded like Gin and she sounded fearful and desperate. "Look out! From behind!" Natala did what the voice told him and leaned to his left and peeked over his shoulder to see Merraid with a dark smile, but he also noticed that nothing was moving at all. "Huh?" Natala looked around him and saw that everything was back to normal, but he then saw Akame and Kurome looking something behind him.
"So you were able to dodge? Impressive~!" said Merraid as her expression didn't change but on the inside, she was shocked that he was able to sense her, as she was sure that he was one of the least experienced ones of the group.
"Oreburg!" shouted Akame as she got her Shingu out and reformed with Natala and Kurome, Merraid sends her wrigglers in to attack them. "Spare the girls, don't show mercy to the boy."
The wrigglers flew towards them and the group sliced them into pieces, Gilberda came from the back to attack Kurome and when she got close she felt something approach her and was smacked away into the trees, Natala was trading blows with Daniel barely holding his own if it wasn't for his aura but that quickly changed as he saw an opening and quickly placed his palm on his wrists and a small explosion erupted from his wrist.
"Nghh!?" groaned Daniel in pain and surprise.
"What was that~?" wondered Merraid as she saw the attack but also charged in to attack Akame but she quickly jumped back as the place where she was standing a giant black wing of black energy slammed there leaving a crater.
"Natala! Get out of here! We'll buy you some time!" shouted Akame as she pressed her back to Kurome's back as they readied their selves to fight them head on, Natala nodded and held his palms together and before Daniel could intercept a bright light erupted from Natala's hand and he was gone.
"Kurome! Let's do this and use the gifts we got!" said Akame.
"Yes, Onee-chan!" replied Kurome as more maids came out with Gilberda following them and groaned a bit in pain that she was so surprised by the sudden attack. The sisters knew they were in a pinch and had no choice but to activate that what Tatsuya granted them.
"Come to our aid, Karma!" shouted the sisters and the necklaces of them glowed a black light and the raven spirits surrounded them, the Oreburg couldn't help but watch in amazement as the birds wrapped themselves around them.
"This is harder then I thought," said Merraid with a frown.
Back to the Elite 8.
Poney was doing some stretching as her body was fully recovered by now and went back to check herself completely and then throw herself back into training, the resting was nice but she didn't want to slack off and she wanted to train her stamina for other reasons, Gin was thinking about what Natala said to her as he promised her to take her out on a date as he felt guilty for not recognizing her advances towards him and Tsukushi was worried about Tatsuya.
"Hah! Finally recovered! I can train again and no slack off anymore! And Gin! We may have the same hair-style but that doesn't mean I'll let you beat me!" shouted Poney pointing at Gin who merely sweatdropped at her declaration of war.
"Our hair-styles have nothing to do with it," commented Gin as she was a bit impressed with the girl's mind, Cornelia came in and shook her head when she heard what Poney said it was something she expected. "Is Tatsuya back yet?"
Tsukushi shook her head making Cornelia worried that her boyfriend wasn't back yet. "Don't worry so much, Cora, I know you want him back in your bed to cuddle him as your teddy-bear~! But has he ever broken a promise?" said Tsukushi while wriggling her eyebrows suggestively.
"I know that and it doesn't mean that I can worry about him-!" Cornelia stopped talking when she realized all the words that Tsukushi said and her head began to take an interesting shade of cherry red. "I know you want him back in your bed to cuddle him as your teddy-bear~!" Gin and Poney grinned mischievously at Cornelia when she realized the words that were said to her.
"T-Tsukushi! When d-did you get so like that!" stammered Cornelia out blushing like a tomato, the only reply she got from Tsukushi was a grin but she could also see a small amount of jealousy? Tsukushi was actually jealous of Akame and Cornelia that they got to do it with Tatsuya and she heard that they didn't mind sharing as long as he shows them that he loves them and she wanted to be with Tatsuya too.
"Oh~! I rather keep that to myself with these lips of mine Cora-nee~!" said Tsukushi leaning back on a table and folding her arms underneath her chest. "Unless you want to open them with yours~?" added Tsukushi with pouting her lips and bit and placing her left leg over her right thigh giving a very suggestive position which made Cornelia stammer again and shouting.
"At least you have him," muttered Tsukushi softly out while her smirk went a little bit down, Gin and Poney missed this but Cornelia noticed it instantly as she saw sadness, jealousy, envy and happiness in the eyes of Tsukushi who held a poker face from outside while inside she was bathing in sadness, sadness because she didn't get on with Tatsuya and if he had any feelings for her, jealousy and envy for having her and Akame already taken a step and happiness that she was happy nonetheless for them.
Tsukushi sighed and began to strip down from her clothes to take a long and nice bath as she needed it to get the jealousy out of her head, Cornelia stopped moving and looked around her as well as Tsukushi who had the feeling that someone was watching her, Tsukushi's eyes glowed for a moment but that was more than enough for her to see a small and odd bug in the doorway.
*BANG!*
Poney and Gin yelped when they heard the gunfire and looked at Tsukushi who held her Shingu in her hand and fired at the ground, they looked at the ground where Tsukushi shot and saw a small purple beetle that looked a bit odd as they had never seen that kind of species.
"What kind of bug is that-!" Gin stopped talking as she realized that there was no sound of talking outside their room, Poney did hear something wriggling and Cornelia went to the door to open it only to see...
With the boys.
Gozuki was playing some chess with Green who challenged him wanting to see if he improved on strategic thinking, Najasho was watching the game but his thoughts still lingered on the purple beetle and when he checked it was clutching on him.
"So what will the next move be from the Oreburgs?" asked Green as he moved a pawn to the left to block Gozuki from making an opening, Gozuki closed his eyes and thought about it. "I don't know but I do know that it will be something unexpected." and Gozuki quickly raised his hand to catch something that was about to hit him and Najasho slashed behind his back.
Gozuki showed what he caught in his hand and it revealed to be an odd looking purple beetle. "This beetle interests me rather well," said Gozuki as he held the beetle for closer inspection and saw that it was struggling furiously trying to get out of his grip. Green looked amazed at how the beetle looked like.
"I've never seen one beetle like that! Is it a new species?" asked Green, Najasho quickly equipped his sword as he sensed something odd inside the building. "This isn't an ordinary bug here, we've been careless and got followed to our hideout!" said Gozuki crushing the beetle dead.
"I think you're exaggerating." laughed Green but he ate those words as soon as the words left his mouth a giant mess of beetles stormed into the room. "OR MAYBE NOT!"
Najasho acted quickly and sliced them all dead with a single swipe, why didn't he mention it earlier? He would always report immediately when he sees or notices something strange but this was the 1st time of him doing something like this.
*BANG!*
But later with personal pride, the males looked up and they heard it from the girls changing room where the shot came from and they easily guessed it was Tsukushi's Shingu Prometheus that fired the bullet, they went outside and saw all the people lying down on the ground not moving. "Green, check them with your Shingu."
Green nodded and used Sidewinder to flip the body that lied down on its stomach but when he was turned the face of the man was killed and eaten by the purple beetles, and our friend Green literally became green and Gozuki merely narrowed his eyes at seeing the beetles. "They're so small that they don't make sound hearable to us at all, so they could kill the guards without too much commotion!" said Najasho as he sliced a few bugs dead.
"Green! Go upstairs and aid the girls! Najasho you with me!" ordered Gozuki and both boys nodded and took off, Green took the stairs that led to the girl's room and Najasho began fighting off the bugs with Gozuki.
Green ran up the stairs and before he could go further Daniel burst through the wall making Green halt his run, Merraid was behind him and was about to kill him since she was a bit mad that Natala escaped but didn't warn them in time yet, the emerald on Green's black chain was glowing and the chain came to life and detached on one side and turned into the head of a snake.
Merraid retracted her hand back as the snake almost bit her and released green flames which forced her to dodge and give Green space who saw her and jumped through the window, she scowled as she had failed to kill another target. "Hmp! He wasn't able to sense me in time but if it wasn't for that chain then he was dead for sure, those weapons are really irritating!"
Since they were here it means that they've defeated Akame and Kurome, or did they? Since 6 maids have been killed.
Daniel also jumped through the broken window to set the chase on Green. "I'll go after him!"
"Catch him! And make him speak where he got that weapon!" said Merraid in an angry tone which surprised him a little bit that she showed anger so openly, it must've been when she failed to kill Natala.
But chasing Green seemed harder to do then Daniel thought since the snake-chain was still active and was blowing green flames at him when he got to close or forced him to run a few meters more in order to decrease his stamina even by a little and it was getting annoying for Daniel as he could see that the green fire was increasing the growth of the small plants that were here and they were trying to grab him by his feet so he needed to jump as well.
Merraid gritted her teeth a little bit and was smiling a bit annoyed as she saw that Daniel was having a hard time to dodge the green flames spit towards him.
Back to the girls.
"This is bad!" shouted Poney as all 4 of them were cornered in the middle as the bugs swarmed them from all corners, all of them had their Shingu equipped minus Gin who just had her big sword ready.
"No wonder that the outside was so quiet!" said Cornelia as she punched a few beetles away as they got too close for her liking, suddenly the bugs moved and separated Gin and Cornelia from Poney and Tsukushi forming a wall between the girls. "These bugs posses intelligence!?" And before Poney and Tsukushi the wall on their side broke and Gilberda and Cassandra entered making the 2 girls focus on them.
Cassandra threw her chakrams towards Tsukushi but she quickly shot the chakrams in mid-air with ease, but Gilbderda tried to attack her from above. "Your mine now-AGH!" her thoughts were cut off as she got kicked in the face, away from Tsukushi as Poney intercepted her from attacking her. "Nice kick you got there, girl." praised Gilberda despite having failed to kill Tsukushi.
Poney merely grinned back at her. "I was hoping to decapitate you with my kick but it seems the Oreburg are true to their reputation," replied Poney as she was sweating a bit on the inside as she saw that even with her aura she just normally wounded her while Gilberda thought different about it than her.
"Damn! That hurts! The empire sure doesn't pull any punches when training these kids, I felt that kick and it was powerful!" were Gilbderda's thoughts as she cracked her neck a bit before the fight would continue.
"Madam Mera would like these girls to join her harem," said Cassandra making Gilberda nod in agreement but then frowned as she saw the angry looks on the faces of Poney and Tsukushi.
"If you think I will betray Najasho! I rather die!" shouted Poney in an angry tone that even she didn't know that she possessed, Tsukushi merely glared at them as she loved Tatsuya and she was planning to claim him as well and join his harem as her love for Tatsuya was big and if she died then she wanted to die in his arms and kiss him.
Cassandra saw stubbornness and equipped her swords as her chakrams were destroyed by the bullets of Tsukushi.
Gin and Cornelia.
"That was cunning of them to split us up!" said Gin in a nervous tone as she heard fighting on the other side, Cornelia was about to punch the wall down with Pulverizer king along with Gin who readied her sword and charged it up with her aura. But the ominous feeling at the back of them made them stop and look who it was and Merraid was present with her usual smile.
"Good evening~! It is just the 3 of us~!" said Merraid in a seductive tone.
"An enemy!" shouted Gin.
"Prepare to kill her!" replied Cornelia.
But then something happened as Merraid was crying small tears suddenly making the girls halt their stance and looked confused why she was crying suddenly, it seemed she was sad but sad about what? "In times like these, I can't help but think that my line of work is also a curse! If we weren't enemies, we could be lovers it is such a cruel fate that we must kill each other-!"
Merraid leaned to the left to avoid getting hit by a blue blast that was aimed at her throat, Merraid looked at the wall and saw that in place was a perfectly shaped hole in it, she looked back to the girls and frowned a bit as she saw rage building up in them when she was speaking. "I! Already have a lover that I want to be forever with!" said Gin pointing her sword menacingly at Merraid Oreburg who scowled that she went down the wrong path of love.
"The same counts for me! I have someone to wait for until he's done with his mission!" shouted Cornelia and they both charged at Merraid who was mad that the girls she wanted were already taken by men! Oh, well, she would do her very best to make sure that they would submit to her and abandon their boyfriends.
"It seems I'm too late! Damn it!" shouted Natala who arrived as his escape was not easy as it was as a few maids were able to intercept him and delay his sprint in case that someone escaped them, Natala rushed at her back which got Merraid angrier.
"I! Am the fangs of the reaper of the Oreburg! My blade of death and I will pray for your peace and order in your afterlife!" said Merraid but not with her smile it was her angry scowl that took place as she was very irritated at the many delays in her mission! "Prepare to die! All of you!"
"Bring it!" shouted the 3 assassins back to the famous assassin.
And I'm cutting it here off, I'm sorry for the long wait, I had something to do again and had to watch the other chapters on youtube that I wasn't able to watch, and the Retribution group got me tangled as I need to do a small twist there, also here is some info on Green's Kyoseki.
