Few days later
Location: The Jaegers Base
Time:Morning
Esdeath decided to plan out an attack on the Night Raid
"Captain, There's been word that the Night Raid's base has just been discovered near the Capital. Apparently 1 of Dr Stylish's men made it back but he only told the location of their base since he appears to be traumatised by the enemy and he said "It killed everyone and those eyes, those 2 Red Scary Glowing Eyes" before he was treated" Run told Esdeath
"Gather all the Jaegers here"
"Yes Captain"
Once all of them were at the table
"Captain, what are your orders?" Bols asks
"Although there is only the 4 of us, we still can take on the Night Raid, their base is not so far away from the Capital, we attack today, but I should just remind you there is a new enemy that someone described has Glowing Red Eyes"
"So now we have Bulat,Najenda,Akame,Sheele,the pink haired girl,the man with those weird guns and now this new enemy? Captain, are you sure we could? Wave,Jack and Dr Stylish are already dead" Bols asks
"Don't worry, I won't let them kill any of you, if we work as a team, we will succeed. So get ready"
"Roger!"
Back at the Night Raid's base
Captain Vadim,Michael and the T-800 had return and Michael took a look at Jeff
"So Randall, you did this? Well I guess there's nothing more I could do since Jeff's perfectly patched up and may wake up in the next few days. I can't believe you learnt everything just from observing me, who knows someday you will practice medicine like me"
"So he is really going to be fine? He protected me from Baron by using his own body as a shield" Leone asks
"Please, I know Jeff, he has been shot a few hundred times,those scars on his body? They are all from combat, which I can give the conclusion that he has lost gallons of blood in the past, and once fell from a height of 400 feet yet he still refuses to die and keeps getting back up. Jeff's a fighter he wouldn't just die from a few wounds caused by some spears" Michael explains
"You sure?"
"So he protected you huh? I guess that's always like him"
"Vadim, we just collected a few weapons from the Terrorists when they attacked" Najenda told him
"That's good, those will be useful for us in the future, anyway we just found out that the Terrorists are not that many but we should not attack too early because we don't know if that's their whole army. However, we just found out they have a small hideout a few kilometres to the north from here, so we infiltrate that place and get as much intel from it" Vadim says
"Well but that means you can't come Captain?" Michael asked
"That's right, but Jack can, Jack, I want you to go there and find any useful information we need"
"Yes Sir!" Jack answered
"Wait Jack, I wanna join since my Teigu could be useful on this mission" Chelsea volunteered
"Wait a minute Jack,Chelsea, don't go just yet, take me with you since we don't know how strong they are" Randall said
"Good idea, we never know if they have someone like Baron there" Bulat says
"Us too" Akame,Wave,Tatsumi asks
"Well my Crosstail would be useful for this" Lubbock thought "I will join aswell"
As the 7 of them went on, Najenda had other plans for the rest of the Night Raid members
"Listen, I've got word that the Jaegers are on the move, this time they seem to come closer to our base day by d-"
"Good let them come, I fight them" Vadim interrupted
"Well I guess we are fine as long as you are here, so thank you. But what if they bring the Imperial Army with them?"
"Then I fight them, I have taken battalions of robots on my own so I will be fine"
"...Boss, what about General Budo?" Sheele asks
"Ah right the General whose strength matches Esdeath"
"What should we do about him?" Leone questioned
"Matches Esdeath? Huh Jeff,Randall or Captain can take him anytime since Jeff already beat Esdeath that day" Michael told them
"I guess your right"
"Like I said, we do not need to worry about the Empire, the only treats are the Machines and the New Order" Vadim replied
Back to the Jaegers who were searching the area
"I just know their base is here, with the intel we have, we can find them Let's split up!" Esdeath told the Jaegers
"Roger Captain!"
"I will take whatever it takes to find the Night Raid" Esdeath thought
Meanwhile somewhere near the Capital
An unknown location
"So what are your orders?"
"We can't let the Night Raid or the Jaegers know about our location
"HOWDY!!!" A huge man kicked the door open, and then an hour later he just said "Ahhh been a while since I've done things like this"
Back to the Jaegers
After hours of scouting the area, still no sign of their base and all of them regrouped at the meeting point
"Captain, are you sure this is where the Night Raid members were supposed to be?" Run asks
"Yes it has to be near here I can feel it, keep searching"
"Finally I get to kill Akame" Kurome thought
Back to Randall,Wave,Tatsumi,Chelsea,Akame,Jack and Lubbock as they finally found the Terrorists hideout
"So what's the plan?" Tatsumi asked
"I will go in first since I'm invisible when I use my Teigu" Jack replied
"Alright we will wait here"
as Jack went off he climbed up a wall and took a peek through a window and looked inside BUT it did not look good, he can't even keep his eyes for a second inside as he immediately looked away and nearly puked, "They won't like this" he returned back to them and they asked "So what did you see?"
"See for yourself, it's safe to bust through the front door"
And so they all went to the entrance and Randall kicked the door open and everyone saw an aftermath
"Buuuuurgh" Both Wave and Lubbock immediately puked disgusted from what they saw. Both Chelsea and Akame covered their mouth with their hand while Tatsumi just can't even look at it without turning away.
BODIES EVERYWHERE!!!!!, everyone was dead, a man had his own genitals cut off and stuffed into his mouth, another one had his head smashed open and his chest cut open with his brain missing that was actually divided in half and placed where his lungs supposed to be, moving on to the next was a CHILD with her stomach opened up and her intestines were used to HANG her on the wall, and then a man had his own arms broken and the sharp edges of the bones were stabbed into his eyes, a few men swapped heads from their body that could be told from their body shape. And finally a woman with her leg gone which was actually just a bone that was stuffed into her mouth and her neck was burned off meaning the leg bone was the only thing attaching her head to her body and many many more that were killed in different methods, some burned,some sliced in half,some skinned but mostly had their heads ripped off.
"WHAT THE FUCKKKK!!!???"
"WHAT CREATURE COULD HAVE DONE THIS?"
"WAS SATAN HERE? RANDALL???" Jack asked
"Come on let's go in" he replied
"HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SO CALM ABOUT THIS???"
"I see these kinds of things everyday when I'm on missions so this is nothing new"
"Yeah but look! there's a CHILD killed and mutilated" Chelsea spoke
"And why should we go in?" Akame questioned
"You guys volunteered for this mission, always expect to see the worse, but we must still continue on the mission"
"WHAT??? NO THANK YOU, we will stay here you go alone" Lubbock,Chelsea,Tatsumi and Wave refused
"Fine, but I can just warn you about this massacre has just happened a few hours ago since the blood and corpses are fresh, meaning the person or the creature which did this could be nearby, and who knows if you're next?" Randall replied
"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! FINE! We will come too" a little scared they were
The pure sight of what happened inside was just post apocalyptic, it was like Demons from Hell were summoned, they all walk through the building until they reached the main meeting room where Randall searched for any information and found some files that contained the exact location of the New Order's Headquarter. He took a look at it and kept it.
"Alright, let's go home" He told them while they were just looking at a wall
"Randall, take a look at this," Akame asked. Randall did and saw a few limbs used to form letters which can be read as THE KING IS HERE! While blood was used to underline the whole sentence with a zig zag pattern
"Hm Let's go everyone, I have to report all of this to Captain Vadim immediately"
"Finally! I've seen enough!!" Wave thought
On the way back Jack asked "So Randall what was that all about?"
"It's like a message or a warning sent to the New Order by someone who calls himself KING. Oh and for now remember to stick together everyone, my instincts tells me something bad may happen"
"Yea mine too" Jack added
Suddenly a pack of 20 Danger Beasts came out of the bushes and attacked them
"Danger Beasts? at a time like this? Ah well this won't take long" Jack got ready and took out his daggers while the rest of them took out their weapons but as soon as they were about to attack, Randall walked calmly towards the Danger Beasts that were charging at him and then a gust of wind was blown in the area and when the dust cleared, they all saw him still in 1 piece walking ahead while sliding his Zweihänder back into it's cover on his back and 20 Danger Beasts sliced clean in half behind him.
"I could never get the answer to how his speed is faster than lightning" Jack told the rest who were equally shocked "Hey Randall?" Wave called
"Yes?"
"How did you do that?"
"I sliced them in half with my sword"
"No I mean how did you get speed like that?"
"Years and years of extreme training, but just to tell you this has nothing to do with my ability"
"What ability?" Chelsea asked.
He didn't answer instead, he pulled out his sword which all of them cpuld now see what it looked like, it was dull black and of course for a Zweihänder, very long. He held it above his head and slashed down to his neck which Decapitated him.
"WHATTT THE HELL?" Both Wave and Chelsea were freaked out but they soon noticed there was no blood instead black gas coming out of his head and neck but then as his head was falling he catches it with his left hand and placed it back.
"Just what are you?" Chelsea asked a little terrified
"That's a good question, I will tell you one day,but for now let's move on" as they were on their way back Chelsea looked behind as she thought something was watching her
"Chelsea? something wrong?" Jack asked
"No nothing Let's go" but then again she felt someone watching her,this time she told everyone to go ahead while she checked it out herself. After a few minutes of investigating the area she found out it was just a wild cat and she went back to the group but then someone from the shadow says "So you must be one of the Night Raid huh? Well your assassination days are over" It was Kurome with her puppets Natala and Doya.
"Damn I need to run for now" Chelsea knew she couldn't fight them at that moment. She quickly popped a smoke bomb and ran away while opening her Gaea Foundation but then the sound of a gun shot was heard by the rest of the group.
"A gun shot? wait where's Chelsea?!" Jack notice before they rushed towards the source of the sound but then Bols came out of the shadows with his Teigu
"Not so fast!, so you're the Night Ra- wait, Jack,Wave? wha? you betrayal us? You're gonna pay for siding with these guys" he projected flames from his Rubicante but all of them evaded it
"BOLS! LISTEN! THE EMPIRE'S CORRUPTED AND WE ARE AGAINST THAT, SO WHY ARE YOU SIDING WITH THEM?" Jack replied
"But still these guys are murderers!" he again projected fire from his weapon this time bigger
"Bols! stop we should work together to stop the corrupted empir-"
"I'll handle him Wave" Randall interrupted
"But-"
"Don't worry, I won't kill him, But I want the rest of you to investigate that gun shot sound"
"Fine!"
