So in case your wondering why it took so long is because I have a lot to do, it is always getting tests and tests in school and coming unexpected and since my friends warned me for next year it will be only harder, their teacher who gives math literally doesn't teach and just lets the class figure out how it works while he plays on his phone, and a lot of other teachers who explain everything in a weird way!

But this isn't about me at all so I cut to the story, basically I need to create some ways to make the arch-enemies of Night raid a bit stronger since Tatsuya will make the revolutionary army stronger, and this won't go unnoticed if their numerous victories went out, Honest isn't dumb but cocky for sure so he sure will send Esdeath out a lot and she will run out of moves soon and creates a few new ones, Shadowlord, please PM me instead of reviewing me since I can't return your information for my story.

Oh, and I will skip a small Arc since due to past event history line is going to be changed a little bit, and I hate my small laptop since it sometimes doesn't store all the words I have been writing, but also review me what you like most, big events that happened with messing with time or just the storyline with just small changes? I have no idea which of the 2 you like.

On to the story now.

Chapter 13: Battling the Oreburgs!

Alley.

Womyn was very worried about Green, she couldn't help being worried about him since he was part of the Elite 8 he would undertake dangerous missions that were far more dangerous than hers, and his death-ratio was also greater and the time to execute his missions would also take a long time, and he was never late and now he was late and that worried her sick about him.

"I-I'm here!" shouted Green walking into the alley with clothes that made him look like he was working in a farm all day, Womyn gasped and held her hands on her mouth a let some small tears out of her eyes and immediately ran over to him and jumped on him, knocking him on his back.

"GREEN! You're okay!" shouted Womyn with her tears freely streaming down her cheeks, hugging her crush tightly against herself oblivious of the fact that Green's face was between her breasts making the boy smile from it, Womyn pulled back a little and looked at Green with worried eyes that also had happiness in them. "Green, I-I was so worried about you! W-When I discovered that you w-were late I had the feeling y-you might have died on your mission!"

Green stopped smiling and looked surprised, was she thinking that he was weak?...no that wasn't like that at all, Tatsuya told him that a girl can't help it but get worried about her crush that they might die since the impossible could be possible and he was still human, it filled him with joy, he caressed her cheek that made her stop crying and look at him, Green slowly got up and leaned against the wall to sit straight up.

"Don't worry, Womyn, thinking the whole time about you filled me with energy as the possibility just to see you were all I needed to be encouraged," said Green making Womyn blush a little bit as she heard the honesty and passion in his voice. "I won't break my promise to you, I will return from every mission alive to see you again."

Womyn smiled and leaned forward and kissed him softly on the lips...

Streets.

That would've happened if it was real since he was in big trouble, getting chased by an old Oreburg butler who showed no signs of breaking down or emotion on his face gave him also plenty of energy to keep running too, though running away to stay alive to see Womyn was mostly the reason. "HOW MUCH STAMINA DOES THIS GUY HAVE!?" shouted Green in dismay.

"That is none of your business, sir, and I also don't swing that way," replied Daniel taking the sentence of Green in the wrong way as it made the teenager splutter in embarrassment.

"I-I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!" shouted Green angrily back at Daniel who merely nodded though his face made it look like he was not really believing it. "WHY ME! OF ALL PEOPLE!?"

First the old woman, then the crazed wolf guy from the tombs, the sexy girl dressed in purple, and now this old butler, seriously what was with his luck!? Oh! Wait! I'm doing that since that manga tells me to do that, and it is more fun this way!

("FUCK YOU! NECROS!")

("No 4th wall breaking!")

Back to Daniel who was still following Green with more ease but still wasn't able to catch up to him, he commented the young man for having good strength in his legs, but deep inside he was frustrated since he had been dodging green fire and plants that tried to grab him on the way, he even had to kick a few trees that tried to hug him more than tripping him.

Back to the hideout.

The tension was something that wasn't pleasant in any way since it gave an uncomfortable aura off and it mostly meant bad things rather than a friendly talk about merging families and trading with each other, it was more like the leaders of the 4 countries sitting and talking about a pact. Although this case would be almost on the same par as Akame, Natala, and Gin were facing Merraid Oreburg, the leader of the assassination group Oreburg which wasn't an easy fact to achieve.

The name of Oreburg spread fear and respect to all the people, even Honest and Grand General Budo feared them a little bit, well Esdeath was an exception since she would gladly welcome someone who had the strength to match her in combat, it was like tigress constantly hunting for prey, and is Esdeath's case it was killing people and torture to kill time.

"Do you honestly think that you can defeat me? Even if you have the advantage in numbers that won't always change your favor in battlefield," said Merraid with a seductive smile eyeing Cornelia and Gin from the head to toe and giving Natala also a smile but this one was rather...murderous as you expected readers, but hey she is very nice on the eyes, don't you all agree? I certainly do!

The 3 assassins in training didn't give anything away, but they knew that Merraid was right about having the advantage in numbers wouldn't increase their chance of survival. She was a skilled and experienced assassin who had plenty more time the experience then all of them combined together, but they had a hidden knife that Merraid had no idea about and that was the aura they had unlocked and trained with Tatsuya.

(A/N: Okay, for anyone that want to point out that the aura is similar to that of RWBY I just realized it myself and it also hints to another story, I won't tell you about it but you already have a clue of it since I wrote this part in.)

"So why don't you just throw away those silly weapons of yours and allow me to execute you, oh, and don't worry boy, I will make it a quick death and take good care of your girlfriend." offered Merraid with a smile but her small became a bit smaller since Natala's glare intensified when she said that.

"I have a better idea, why don't you shut up and fight!" shouted Natala as he charged with his sword raised ready to cleave Merraid in 2 pieces, Merraid smirked as she saw that Natala was easy to prod when it came to Gin, though she couldn't help but have a small amount of respect towards him for doing that, just a small amount not enough not to kill him since that was her job or hesitate about it.

She was about to stab Natala but suddenly he jumped back and clapped his hands together using his [Blinding Flash.] attack which forced Merraid to close her eyes against the bright light that Natala produced, Gin and Cornelia went both to a side of Merraid and thrust their weapons forward about to hit her but she backflipped and dodged the attack, Natala went forward and thrust his blade at the spinning form of Merraid but misses as she stops perfectly in time and lands on his blade and kicks both Cornelia and Gin away.

"W-What the!" Natala didn't feel anything on his blade at all, it didn't get any heavier or made a sudden movement or vibration that something landed on it, it was like a feather just landed on it without him noticing it. Merraid smirked at the expressions Natala made but that smirk changes into confusion as he suddenly blushes a little bit and got a slight nosebleed along with it. "G-Going commando?" said Natala disbelieving looking at Merraid who had at the time she was called by her Wrigglers that she didn't have any time to put her panties on even though it doesn't cover up much.

When she made a backflip it revealed a bit of her and Natala was the one who saw it but slowly remembered it after she landed on his blade and the adrenaline ceased a little bit. Merraid merely smiled but this smile promised a lot of pain since he saw her private part, but what she didn't know was that she would in the later future go against her code due to some reasons and convincing.

"My, my, you saw some part of me that you should've seen, and you must die for it~!" said Merraid with a smile that promised a LOT of pain but then who could blame him since it is technically Merraid's fault for not wearing any panties and it was kind of obvious that she wasn't wearing anything since we have seen her behind many times over and that dress of hers barely keeps anything hidden to viewers.

"Natala~? What did you see exactly~?" Natala froze in fear as a Gin surrounded by black blurry energy was walking towards him with a lot of killer intent which made Merraid shudder a bit in pleasure, kind of makes me wonder if she is a masochist as Sheele, but she quickly turned around to make a side-wards slash at Merraid who was about to lean to the left but quickly saw the gauntlet of Cornelia coming also with a side-ward punch recognizing that the girls tried to use a scissor attack though on was with a gauntlet, she wasn't that easily fooled even though she got aroused from Gin and quickly used a split to duck underneath the scissor attack and used it also at the same time to trip the girls with her long smooth legs.

Cornelia and Gin both got tripped by Merraid as they were caught off that she was able to dodge a scissor attack, Natala was about to clap his hands again but Merraid hit his wrists hard with her parasol preventing him from using his move and making him frown in a bit of pain but that quickly turned into cringing in pain as he was kicked harshly into his stomach.

Merraid was starting to get annoyed at being interrupted every time since she had other thoughts to do which made her a bit distracted, she had a secret and that was that the Oreburg had a book that also possessed some information on some Teigu and those weapons that she has seen weren't any of them, she only knew all the 48 Teigu's forms and a chain wasn't included, neither those necklaces and then there was that blinding light attack.

And they barely caught the sisters as the swipes of those crows or ravens were fatal to normal people but not for them still they had a rather mean swipe, so it was luck, skill, and experience that allowed them to defeat the 2 sisters, and then there was that mysterious man with that mask that she has seen earlier and that pillar of light somewhere in Gappi-Marsh.

What was it? Was it some source of unknown power that they haven't discovered yet, or was it some kind of hidden Trump Card of a Teigu that was discovered or may be made by their selves, she had to get the information since this was critical as their targets are only growing stronger and stronger for them to kill, and with those Teigu's it would be almost impossible.

The necklace of Cornelia was glowing again and fired off several blasts at Merraid who dodges them and a slash from Gin. "No matter how cute you are, you are too far away for me to reach and convince to go to the right path of love," Merraid sighed dramatically and held her hand on her face like she was reading out a Shakespeare book. "How lost you are in the path of darkness and deceiving! It is truly a shame that I can't reach you anymore!"

"KEEP THOSE THOUGHTS TO YOURSELF!" shouted Gin very pissed off as she got the gist of what Merraid wanted to do with her.

"Well, I'm not one from 1 side," muttered Cornelia who had sex with her boyfriend Tatsuya and one of her little sister figures Akame, it was kinky and not awkward since she acted in the heat of the moment as it was the perfect moment to do it, but it was very embarrassing when she got her senses back.

Merraid was annoyed as Gin shouted at her again and raised her umbrella and began spinning it around and soon a symbol started to form and it slowed Gin's speed as the symbol's hypnosis effect started to kick in. "Grr! Fucking hypnosis!" cursed Gin loudly. Merraid smirked as she saw that her umbrella was having an effect on the girl, maybe she could break her mind to become loyal to her? No, she wasn't violent towards girls and she didn't want them fully obedient like mindless animals since she liked Gin for her fiery personality sans the slightly foul mouth she has.

"Wrigglers! Go!" ordered Merraid as the purple beetles came thought the umbrella leaving a hole which canceled the effect of hypnosis, which allowed Gin to move freely again.

"Think that a few biting bugs will stop me!?" shouted Gin who killed the beetles with a single slash of her blade, but it also left her wide open which allowed her to stab her hand at her, but Gin dodges at the last moment which only earned her a cut from Merraid's nails, but Merraid smiled at that as she sealed the fate of Gin that would be later her death.

Merraid was smiling and a bit disappointed as she knew that Gin was completely conquered by that man named Natala, what a waste as she liked a fierce girl to add to her harem and she was a tsundere as well! sadly she was going to die by her hands which was something she could do at least to release her from that man and give her a next chance in the next life. "Most people are very wary of my Umbrella when they hear my name, though I didn't expect you to charge straight in, what a foolish girl you are~!"

Gin glared at the relaxed form of Merraid as she could see that she wasn't taking her seriously at all and it frustrated her to no end, but she knew from training with the Elite 8 that her action may have cost her life and Tatsuya did say to her that her personality may end up killing her if she acts to brash and doesn't think through. "Maybe I am more then you think, but a bit of poison won't work on me!" as she got out a small bottle and began to drink it.

"I don't use poison, I never lie to girls," said Merraid with honesty in her voice, though you couldn't detect it behind all the playfulness. "I wouldn't dare to cross the line of lying to girls."

"Well see, if you are speaking the truth," said Gin who felt a bit hot at the moment but ignored it as Cornelia and Natala came up, then when she was about to charge her body stopped and she couldn't move properly.

"Gin! Are you alright!?" shouted Natala dropping on his knees next to Gin who hunches over and was panting like she was in the sauna, as Natala's hand went towards her neck to check on her pulse, but when he touches it he felt intense heat. "Argh!"

Merraid immediately became wary as she was sure she just put the eggs of the standard ordinary wrigglers, and she didn't even possess any bugs that generated heat only ones that can explode, Gin was sweating like it was full summer day on the desert and a small pool of sweat formed underneath her legs and then steam began to generate off her body.

"What did you do to her!?" shouted/demanded Cornelia ready to punch Merraid but then saw the confusion on her face too. "Wait, you didn't do this?"

Deep inside Gin's body were multiple wriggler eggs and the Aura streamed with great speed in her blood veins fusing themselves temporarily with the white blood cells, and chasing the eggs that have landed into the body as the enhanced white cells identified the eggs that shouldn't be there and grabbed hold of them and began to get rid of them, the eggs weren't going down easy as few bugs managed to get out and spread a little more eggs through the blood system of Gin, the Aura reacted to this and began to spread further to search more white blood cells to burn the eggs and it went with great speed too, that was what made Gin sweat like crazy as the white blood cells pumped at great speed.

Something like this should kill a person that didn't have the body to withstand it even one with the body of an athlete shouldn't be able to take it, the Aura also sensed that their action could harm their host so they went to increase the sweat producing to get rid of all that heat and enhanced the lung capacity of Gin allowing her to suck in more oxygen to stabilize her body and breathing.

The wound of Gin started to take ablaze as an azure fire burned the wound away to prevent more eggs from coming in and soon the fire went out and the wound was gone, Merraid was officially pissed off as she wasn't frowning anymore but glaring with her smile turned down and emitted intense kill and murderous intent as she was one with all those tricks fo the assassins.

"Enough! I WILL FINISH YOU ALL HERE AND NOW!" shouted Merraid as she charged in intending to fight them with her best.

Back to Tsukushi and Poney.

Panting was all that was did in the room as Tsukushi and Poney are having a bit of hard time dealing with the Oreburg assassins not having the knowledge that the Oreburg assassins were also thinking the same as them alike, even with their strength at their fullest they only manage to become equals like them in the whole fight.

But what they didn't know was that they expected Prometheus to be empty as it was a gun, even if it is a Shingu it needed bullets like a regular gun and it was nowhere near self-recharging like Pumpkin, but in return, the Oreburgs assassins didn't know that Tsukushi had something else up her sleeve despite only wearing a towel, which made me wonder where she got it from?

Let's not dig into it too much...I'll try not to be so suggestive anymore as it is unnecessary.

"I've been able to follow the path of the bullets, even if they turn midair they won't hit me!" thought Cassandra confidently.

"The moment she fires its over, I'll kill her before she gets the chance to shoot the second time!" thought Gilberda not giving anything away even smiling.

"I don't have what it takes to do this right now, I know that so!" thought Tsukushi knowing that she and Poney had the disadvantage in the battle and their only hidden weapon was their Aura granted by Tatsuya and her and Poney's techniques aren't completely perfected so she had to risk it, as she was about to fire off again she let her left hand go of the handle of her gun and dropped a smoke bomb and fired off a few bullets.

*Boom!*

The smoke erupted from the ground when the bomb hit it and a few shining bullets were heading to the 2 Oreburg Assassins/Maids, the bullets were sliced clean through by Cassandra into 4 pieces but the light began to intensify.

"Nani!?"

"What the!"

*BOOM!*

The Assassins managed to dodge the explosion and were only a bit harmed by a bit of flying shrapnel and a bit blown back against the wall. "What the fuck!? How was that possible! Her clip was empty!" shouted Gilberda mad as she stood up and saw that her maid outfit was a bit damaged, it was her favorite dress and the first one given by Madam Mera!

"W-We can't let them go away without us knowing what it is! We can't fail our mission!" groaned Cassandra through her teeth as she was a bit frustrated, the first reason was that their targets escaped, the second reason was her outfit was also damaged, and the third one was that she built a bit stress up when she wasn't able to convince Chelsea to show her the right path of love.

Though her frustration was nowhere near that of Gilberda since she was also denied her round with Madam Mera! Run you 2!

"You got them good Tsukushi! I thought you hadn't perfected your technique?" asked Poney carrying Tsukushi on her back as she was running at her full speed. "Not even I have perfected mine! Even Najasho is a bit frustrated, I should relieve him a little bit," she muttered the last part to herself.

"...Poney, I can still hear you as I have also great hearing too, and don't make me any angrier then I am~!" whispered Tsukushi softly in the ears of Poney who got very pale and had comedic blue lines on her forehead, she knew why Tsukushi was like this and she obviously didn't mean to offend her or rub it in that she has a boyfriend who she got to...do it.

Tsukushi was mad but it wasn't directed at Poney but to herself for not having any confidence, confidence to confess to Tatsuya as she was like in love with him though not trying to make it obvious but lately it did become obvious since Cornelia and Akame made their moves already and she also could see that Kurome couldn't see him in the big brother way anymore, she was entering the stages of puberty and had a close bond with her big brother and she slowly saw him more then only a elder sibling.

And soon her Aura was changed from rage to sadness which distracted Poney who didn't notice she ran a bit slower, feeling guilty that she unintentionally reminded her confidence towards telling her feelings to Tatsuya.

*Step! Step! Step!*

Both of them turned around and saw a bit of a sight, as Gilberda was running at them carrying Casandra on her shoulders both of them looking quite mad making the 2 younger assassins wonder what it could be that made them so mad. "HEY! Hold it right there! You shitty little brats!"

"Shit! I was running slower then I thought!" cursed Poney who got back to running very quickly.

"Once I cancel all my limiters this will be nothing but a breeze to me!" shouted Gilberda who ran and kept up with them easily even if they had a head start on running, Tsukushi snaps out of her sad state and focused her head back on the mission they got.

"Prometheus!"

"Burgh Chakram!"

*Pang! Pang! Pang!*

*Swoosh! Swoosh!*

The screen zoomed in as both weapons were about to hit each other but the bullets then flew underneath the chakrams and headed straight for Cassandra who narrowed her eyes and sliced the bullets in half knowing that they won't explode, but she missed 1 of the bullets that headed straight for Gilberda's right leg hitting her. "Ouch!"

"It would make sense for you to aim where Dora has a hard time to deflect bullets, so it is obvious that you would shoot me!" said Gilberda who felt her leg throb a little bit in pain as the sizzling bullet was still warm from the gunpowder was burning her flesh from the inside, even so it didn't stop or hinder her running speed and was still keeping up with the 2 assassins. "I expected that so I tensed my muscles to block out most of the damage!"

"She just got off with a simple 'ouch'!? And she's still running!?" shouted Poney in disbelief.

"Phew! It's a good thing that I've got such good eye-sight!" commented Tsukushi jangling the 2 chakrams of Cassandra around her pointing finger.

"She caught my chakrams!"

"I knew it! We need to get closer to them! Here goes my last spurt!"

Poney ended up running on the top of the building and to the Oreburgs it seemed that they wouldn't be able to escape from them anymore, but Poney had other thoughts as she remembered the grasshopper she fought in the tombs and his technique. "Time to go!"

"You won't escape us!" shouted Gilberda who tried to catch up to them but Poney was already jumping away using the grasshopper's technique to do it, her leg anklet glowed and suddenly Poney went even faster as she only felt Tsukushi's weight which was light and almost tripped but continued nonetheless. Gilberda and Cassandra noticed this and gritted their teeth as this was the same as by Akame and Kurome.

"Tch! They escaped us! If I was only lighter then we could've chased them!" groaned Gilberda.

"No, it is the weight of my weapons that is slowing you down, I'm very sorry." apologized Cassandra making Gilberda smile that Cassandra didn't want her to take all the blame alone by herself, it was only getting harder and harder for them to kill since those weapons they carried gave them some strength and both of the Assassins guessed that they wielded Teigu, but 2 at once was a deathwish so they must be wielding something else too.

"Madam Mera isn't going to be happy, we failed but for some reason I have the feeling she's having a hard time too if she fights the other ones that have those weapons, and then there is the boy that can create light," commented Gilberda with regret not liking to disappoint her mistress.

"Agreed, and Madam Mera isn't someone you would want to meet on your path if she's agitated that you will even run away from her if she tries to get you in bed," added Cassandra.

"Yeah, you're right-HEY!" Gilberda shouted when she realized what Cassandra said and she easily saw that she said it on purpose thanks to seeing the invisible smile on her face.

Back to Merraid.

"Guah!" groaned Natala out as he was thrown against the wall next to an unconscious Gin and a slightly sweating and panting Cornelia who couldn't believe the amount of strength Merraid possessed, she preferred the normal and flirting Merraid since she was not even going one bit of her true strength but they agitated her which made her fight at full strength.

Natala's Blinding Flash attack was always intercepted by those bugs, Gin couldn't fight since her Aura was burning out all those insects and their eggs out of her body, and Cornelia was barely able to strike Merraid who had a snake-like body that just dodges her attacks like they were one of an amateur. She had no choice but to use her technique and she had to use it now and placed her hands on the ground to counterattack or at least create some distance between them.

"What now!?" said Merraid and the ground suddenly sprouted spikes from the ground in lines towards Merraid who merely jumped back only to halt herself as she saw from the corner of her eye that the wall behind her sprouted spikes and turned sideways ready to impale her, so she sned out her wrigglers to destroy the spikes in front and behind her and order the explosive ones to kill the young Assassins. "Eliminate them, don't spare them not even the girls."

The wrigglers went in and did as they were told and went to the assassins to kill themselves along with them, but as they got close Gozuki appeared and sliced all of them dead as he couldn't appear from behind as the spikes blocked him from doing that. "Your killing will be postponed again Oreburg-!" Gozuki stopped talking once a few Wrigglers flew at him only to be killed off.

"You will die along with the rest of your disciples," said Merraid darkly making him wonder what made her so pissed off.

"I don't know what you guys did, but I have to ask a few questions on how you managed to piss off the head or the Oreburg," said Gozuki who appeared calm from the outside but was sweating from the inside as he knew f you pissed off a woman then you were creamed especially if you were a man, and to make it worse Merraid was lesbian which made it thrice as worse.

Oreburg Hideout.

Akame and Kurome were unconscious not being able to defeat Merraid and her lackeys at all but managed to kill a few of the maids that tagged along with them, currently, they were under the watch of many maids who were warned not to take them lightly and taking off those chokers was simply suicide as a maid was killed by it when she tried to do that.

"So these are the girls Madam Mera wants in her harem, they're cute! Don't you think?" asked one of the maids making the other nod in agreement. "Besides if Madam Mera convinces the 2 to join her then Oreburg will be more powerful then ever, and she can study what those chokers were made of and who made them."

"The men can beg for their lives, and those girls can either die or join Madam Mera's harem since no ordinary human can ever hope to beat Madam Mera." commented another maid making the others laugh not knowing they would take those words back once they will die as there were some people looking from the shadows at them going to kill them all when they get the chance.

Back to Gozuki.

Merraid calmed her nerves down when she saw the Katana of Gozuki as it held an ominous Aura around it, the Aura of certain death and no chance at survival so she couldn't afford to succumb to her emotions of irritation of having been denied to kill her targets that also walked on the wrong path of love. "That Katana, she shape, the metal, and the Aura, it isn't by no mistake a Teigu that will assure death only so better avoid that."

"Your insects, I will crush all of them," said Gozuki not taking his eyes 1 second of her knowing that it was death itself.

"70% of the living things are all insects, so please show some respect," said Merraid back into her cheerful personality as she spread her arms wide open. "Besides that, I wonder if that man with the scary helmet is on your side~?"

Gozuki almost flinched at that when she mentioned Tatsuya knowing that if he was caught them the whole team lost one of their main strengths, it would be catastrophic as Tatsuya was an amazing frontliner and support on the team. "To rely on insects that are below insects."

"So you've defeated me with that? How pitiful of you to declare victory based on big words alone." Merraid raised her right arm up and the wrigglers charged at Gozuki with killing intent, Gozuki merely sighed and sliced them all dead in one single swipe.

"Did you see that? I killed through your bug barrier," stated Gozuki the obvious.

"Well, I did use a personal operation instead of the automatic one," replied Merraid calmly not even fazed.

"What will that change your favor in battle!?" shouted Gozuki rushing up towards her making Merraid take a few steps back grinning lightly. "Things crawl like a worm~!" and soon Wrigglers appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Gozuki who had his eyes wide open from that.

"Predictable asshole!" Gozuki's left arm became them taller and swung it around him killing many of the Wrigglers, but as he finished Merraid was already behind him ready to kill him.

"I wonder if the real form attacks the torso?"

Gozuki quickly turned his head slightly around with his mouth open and his tongue making Merraid jump back as his tongue also became very long and was about to strike her, she looked at the side and saw something and quickly parried the attack with her umbrella as Gozuki's toenails also lengthened their selves and stabbed right through her umbrella, it made her a bit disgusted that her umbrella was destroyed by toenails, but dismisses it as she jumped far back as Gozuki's hair started to swirl in all directions and soon Gozuki's hair was very long and turned all into spikes and were aimed at her.

Najasho and the others were watching the battle with awe as they saw that they were far away from matching their 'father' and it made them realize how hard it would be to escape if they were able to do that so they had to study his fighting style but mask it with awe as Najasho pulled the couple away from the fight as they were more tired from the fight then Cornelia was.

Merraid looked up and saw that the arm of Gozuki came down on her with Murasame holding it almost striking her, but it was blocked by her umbrella and was thinking how troublesome phantasmagoric moves were and how hard they were to predict.

"Good, one more step and victory is mine!" thought Gozuki thinking that he had the upper hand which may look like but also wasn't although it looked more like it since Merraid umbrella got destroyed in the battle. "Die," smirked Gozuki only to get surprised that Merraid was laughing at him asking him 1 thing before he felt immense pain.

"Did you get stung?" asked Merraid as a giant hornet the size of a hand pierced its needle inside of the arm of Gozuki making him scream in pain and lose control over his arm that flailed around him and the pain increased as Merraid used her heel to slam the hand of him upwards bending it in inhuman ways up, she went forward as Gozuki lost Murasame and was ready to stab him only to get slashed from behind as Gozuki's hair grabbed his Katana back and sliced her sealing her fate to deat...only for him not to feel the feeling of flesh.

"I let go of my Katana on purpose, though it doesn't seem your dead yet," said Gozuki.

"There are various kinds of insects and these children are drawing out their characteristics." began Merraid with talking. "For example such as a hardened type, so hold your sword firmly in your hands and with your strength, you can kill them, by the way, there are moths scattered across the hallway spreading out their poison. "

Gozuki looked up to see many purple butterflies or moths whatever they may be and saw slight bits of purple bits coming out of their wings. "It doesn't affect me as I am immune against poison." and then he moved his right leg to stomp a wriggler dead that tried to sneak up on him. "Before I got confused by the shadows."

"The fight is already over for you, come Wrigglers and attack all at once," Merraid pauses and grins sadistically. "I look forward to the attacking the injury state~!"

Gozuki kneeled down and placed his hand in front of him and then soon every hair of him that was touching the air was suddenly spread out and stabbed every Wriggler in the room even the ones covered luckily it was only his shirt that was destroyed in the process. "This saves the time and effort of crushing them!" said Gozuki charging against Merraid who wasn't impressed at all.

"I did say there were various kinds of insects, ever heard of the explosive ones?" asked Merraid making Gozuki widen his eyes and look back to see the cut-down Wrigglers suddenly inflate like balloons and explode destroying the building along with themselves. "To think that I had to use so many bugs to kill a single person, I hope the others are more successful."

And Back to Green!

Green cursed whatever go has decided him to make him fight the old man instead of one of the girls which he would've preferred any time soon, he was SO fucking tired of running as he couldn't believe how he was able to run it this far and exceeding his limit already. His present from Tatsuya was also not working anymore as there weren't any plants left in the desert to grow and the chains seemed to be exhausted as him and reverted their selves back into their chain form, Green guessed that they were dependent on his stamina.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" panted Green very tired as he couldn't run anymore.

"Have you run your stamina to the limit? It is admiringly how you try to escape from your enemy." complemented Daniel.

"H-How...a-are you...still...running?" asked Green as his panting was slowing down a bit and then felt the dark Aura of Daniel appear out of nowhere and see him giving his casual look but it was still unnerving to see.

"I am the God of Death Oreburg, I shall uncertainly lead you down to hell," said Daniel flaring his dark Aura even more furious then it was. Green cursed and got Sidewinder out and began lashing out at Daniel who runs at him while crossing his arms taking all the hits like they were nothing at all then soft wind breezes. "I don't bother to dodge as it would be wasting my stamina." as he continued to run through the blows making Green shocked how he was able to take all the hits. "Even if that whip has consecutive weight attacks they barely hurt me, I will break through the attacks and strike you..."

Green was launched back into the rocks as Daniel's strike hit him.

"Like this!" said Daniel as Green gasped a bit from having the oxygen out of his longs blown out though he didn't feel the pain as his Aura protected him from the damage and this didn't go unnoticed by Daniel. "Maybe I should keep you alive as something protects you that isn't visible to the naked eye because somehow you're still alive."

Green chuckled and then swung Sidewinder at Daniel again and this time his eyes glowed a little bit and suddenly Sidewinder multiplied and only more and more appeared making Daniel confused and shocked what he was doing and how he was doing it. "H-How is this possible!"

"Heh, you just reminded me of that old lady Barabara...and her hot protege." but when he said that last part he had a feeling that he would really regret saying that since he knew that something worse would happen to him. "It doesn't matter as you will be joining her in hell!" and Green's Sidewinder lashed out and began forcing Daniel to dodge the attacks as the Oreburg butler was having a hard time keeping check of every whip that was lashing out to him though he did notice that some of them weren't even real and some of them were real. "But you should know from time to time to watch your back!"

Daniel looked back and saw Poney rushing at him with Tsukushi shooting at him already and Daniel tried his very best to keep track of all the bullets while somehow managing to block every single strike of Green's Sidewinder, but he missed a single bullet that went sidewards and since both of his hands were preoccupied he couldn't deflect it and had single thought before he died.

"I'll be joining you, Barbara, may I have more courage in our next life to confess to you if we ever may cross paths again."

The bullet went straight through his head and he fell down with a small smile on his face as the last thing he saw wasn't the bullet at all, it was the smiling face of a younger Barbara looking happy to see him with small tears rolling down her eyes in a flower field. "You did capture my heart, idiot, do you how long I waited for you to do that? I didn't even have the slightest bit of courage to do it." the hand of the younger Barbara took the hand of the younger looking Daniel and guided him to heaven.

"I'll make up for it, and spend the eternity with you in heaven," said Daniel as Barbara hugged him tightly making him chuckle. "That Assassins like us are allowed to be here and to even step foot in here."

"I know, it is beautiful," commented Barbara sitting down leaning against Daniel's shoulder who held her closer and said the thing that Barbara wanted him to say when they were in their younger times.

"I love you with all my heart, Barbara Oreburg," said Daniel making Barbara smile that he said it.

"I love you too, spineless Daniel Oreburg, next time never make me wait so long ever again," said Barbara smiling with a small blush as both of them left the mortal world to go for the peaceful world that they longed to go, not worrying about Teako knowing that she was in good hands.

Back to the real world.

Green panted and was happy that the chase was over...but he couldn't help but feel that Daniel was happy being dead as he could see that he wanted revenge for them killing Barbara and he could see that he was in love with her and now joining her in heaven...would Assassins like their selves be allowed to go up there even with all the crimes they've done until now? He could only pray that they would as he wished for Womyn to go up there as he was ready to take both their burden and got to hell himself.

"Green? Are you okay?" asked Tsukushi worried as she could see that Green looked conflicted.

"...Its nothing, I...just saw that the Oreburg assassin is back to someone who he longed to see," said Green taking off his glasses and wiping them, he smiled as he wanted to give the man a proper burial in respect for him. Poney and Tsukushi understood what he meant and softly smiled as they all began to work on to bury Daniel into the ground so Danger-Beasts wouldn't eat him.

They had to admit that Green was kind of handsome without his glasses on.

Unknown place.

Somewhere else was Chelsea resting in a inn together with Taeko who was asleep like a rock while Chelsea was deep in her thoughts as she remembered something, when she died she had regrets of not telling Tatsumi her feelings and when she did that it was not like heaven as she imagined as she was cold and alone in the darkness from having a regret and she was so scared of being in it for the eternity...and Tatsumi came back and she was released from that prison.

And now thanks to him her friend Teako was alive though she was very sad that Barbara her mentor was dead despite her having no mercy in their training sessions, but she was the closest thing to a grandmother in her whole life...though she could understand why Tatsumi had to kill her as she wouldn't be easy to convince and since this was time-travel he had to think it all out since he could mature quickly when it came to death.

Teako could be convinced as her only reason that she joined the Oreburg was because of Barbara and Barbara herself couldn't do it since it would spread false rumors of herself and there was someone she couldn't leave yet...she remembered that she took a small peek at the butler Daniel sometimes when he wasn't looking and it looked like she was craving for something from him which she has waited for years.

"Tatsumi, you baka, you stole my heart all over again and that only makes it harder for me not to take you," whispered Chelsea as she wiped a small tear off and looked happy at the living form of her friend Teako. "Welcome back to the land of the living, big sis!" Teako didn't hear her at all since she was asleep but she couldn't help but smile a little in her sleep just at the moment Chelsea said that to her.

Chelsea stripped her clothes off and wore her pajamas and joined Teako in the bed and hugged her still afraid of seeing her die again, she promised it herself that she wouldn't allow Teako or Tatsumi to die, all of them would survive this fight and destroy the empire with smiles on their faces and she also promised herself another thing...and that was confessing to Tatsumi that she fell in love with him and wanted to spend the rest of her life being present near him no matter how many girls he got she knew he would not favor a single or a few.

Tatsumi didn't know why but his heart was bouncing a bit quicker and strangely enough, it wasn't worrying him but rather...satisfying to him as his heart somehow was at ease that he knew that an important person of him would be still alive, even without his protection. "Wait for me, Chelsea, I won't let Kurome kill you since she's now on our side and this is a promise that I never or will break."

"Something wrong big bro?" asked Silver wearing some villagers clothing that concealed her naked body that also hid her features as it was a few sizes too big.

"Nothing at all, Silver, let's get going as we can't let our family fight the Oreburgs on their own!" said Tatsuya as he was sitting on the head of the 2-headed land dragon who was wearing chains followed by a long earth snake named the Whisper of the Earth. "Time to kill the Oreburgs!"

And cut! I will end it here as I pitied that Daniel was never able to confess his feeling to Barbara so I didn't want him to die a regretful death but rather a death that he's okay with, since Chelsea is awakened she will be helping Tatsumi and I am still conflicted if I shoul either write Tatsumi between these 2 choices:

A: Have him kill off the Oreburgs.

B: Convincing them to become their allies?

Review me or PM me which one you want and I will set up a Poll for it, until next time and sorry for the long wait Shadowlord.
