A/N: Some of you asked for it and here it is. The side story reaction of Night Raid and the Halo series; Night Raid reacts to Madness Combat. This will be only one chapter as I am currently working on. But hey, that wouldn't mean that it will not stop me from writing it. Let's get to the chapter, shall we?! Oh, and enjoy this early Christmas gift from me!
Disclaimer: I do not own Akame Ga Kill and Madness Combat. They belong to their rightful and respectful owners.
"Alright!" Leone said and soon she plugged the USB into the TV and sat back down with the others.
Everyone got themselves ready to watch the series. All already have thoughts about this series. For Esdeath, she can already imagine a lot of violence and bloodshed happening. She could not wait to see that. For the two former scientists, they can imagine a lot of technology. Albeit lacking help from the two. They gather quite a lot of data back in the Archives. And for everyone else, well, they really wanted to see what Madness Combat all is about.
Speaking of Esdeath, she started to get impatient and wanted to watch this series. "What are we waiting for?!"
"Oh, right!" Lubbock quickly said before he grabbed the remote and soon pressed play.
"Madness Combat 1" appears on the black screen
Everyone saw the title card on the screen and could not wait to watch this series. As much as all would want to make predictions, they could not since it would only annoy Esdeath. So, they were going to watch what was about to happen.
*Madness Combat 1 Soundtrack: DJ Birdie Chicken Dance starts playing*
As the music plays, a guy in a cartoonish art style can be seen standing around a tree. As it zooms out slowly, another guy holding a boombox can be seen. As well as another guy in the same art style. Who was dancing in the background.
Hearing this song made some of the members swing their heads around a little. "Damn, I think this is the reason why Fives love this series so much!" Lubbock said as he started to like this music.
"I know. No wonder this Madness Combat series is starting to be my liking!" Leone agreed with her friend.
Esdeath was not bothered by the music and was starting to become more impatient. She really wanted to see any violence and bloodshed very soon. "This is boring."
Everyone knew she was going to say that. It was indeed boring and nothing happening. That was until…
Wanting to go to the guy and grab the boombox, the protagonist goes to where the boombox guy was. This resulted in him being punched to the ground.
"Finally!" Esdeath said out loud as she saw the violence.
Najenda saw how excited Esdeath was. "Someone seems to be happy about this." She knew what was about to happen.
It was not only the leader who had the same thought. Everyone else had the same. "Shits about to go down."
Getting back up and shaking his hands in anger, the protagonist then goes to where the boombox guy was again. This time, he manages to avoid the other guy's attack and punch him straight in the head. Knocking him down onto the ground.
This caused another person to go to where the protagonist was and punch him. That was proved to be a fatal mistake as the central character punches him down to the ground. As he was finished with that guy, he turned to see another person. He punched him in the head before slamming him to the other side of the ground to where the third guy was.
As this was going on, Esdeath could not help but feel excited about this. Something about seeing this Madness in a Combat situation made her aroused. "Now, let the fun commence."
The rest of the Jaegers saw how their leader reacted. They had to admit that they never seen Esdeath like this before. "Something tells me that this series is making General Esdeath…um…" Wave tried to find the words to fit in his Commander's feeling.
"Aroused?" Run said to his teammate.
The soldier just nodded at the former teacher. "Yeah, that word."
A fourth person then came to where the central character was. This time, he managed to punch him to the ground.
Mine sighed as this as she can already tell that this guy was about to meet his fate by the hands of the protagonist. "That guy is already dead."
"Yep, he is." Leone agreed with her friend as she took a sip from her mug of alcohol.
Susanoo then pointed out something that was bothering him. "The central character doesn't seem to be a good user of martial arts." Mez and Suzuka just giggled at the human Imperial Arm's comment.
"Perhaps when time flies by, he may be a good hand-to-hand combatant." Bulat countered Susanoo's statement.
"Man, I think this is why Fives love this series so much." Tatsumi said as he was watching this.
Lubbock just looked at his friend. "Hey! I said that earlier, do not repeat what I say?!"
"Oh. Sorry." His friend apologised.
The central character then got up and was over the fourth person's body and pummelled his head with his fists. He then got off the unconscious body and soon punched the fifth person straight in the face before delivering multiple blows. He finished his opponent by uppercutting him, which sent him flying to the air and towards the ground. As he was finished, the sixth person then literally ripped the head off the fourth from his body.
Seeing this mutilation despite not having any blood only made the Sadist smile gleefully. "Keep on doing that. I'm starting to enjoy this series more and more."
Everyone else started to be weirded by this. Mine then went to Tatsumi's left hear and whispered, "I'm starting to be freaked out by Esdeath's reaction to this episode, Tatsumi."
"Yeah. So am I." Her friend replied back to her.
Chelsea didn't know why. But seeing the head being ripped her brought her a feeling that she too was decapitated. At least it was not in here or otherwise she would not be here. "Why do I have that kind of feeling?"
The sixth then tosses the ripped head towards the protagonist, where he avoided it by jumped and it hit the seventh person. The central character then punches the decapitated body towards the sixth. He walked back a little before going to where the protagonist was. This resulted in him being punched multiple times and was hit in the head, sending him to the ground.
Night raid could not believe that this person had managed to defeat a total of six enemies. No Imperial Arms. It was all with his fists. "Something tells me that this fight is starting to become serious." Cosmina stated.
"Just carry on with the fighting and there will be more deaths." Esdeath happily said as she was getting too aroused by this. That resulted in a few people who were near her to back away.
"She's becoming so happy in seeing this." Everyone said in their heads as they still looking at the screen to continue watching this.
A seventh person came to the screen to attack the main character. The fifth, who got back up to his feet, then held on to the central character as he was delivered blows from the seventh. Unfortunately, that did not last long as the protagonist then grabbed the fifth from behind and throws him to where the seventh was. Knocking the two out cold. Backing away just a bit, the central character then pulls out a grenade and throws it to where the six bodies were. The bodies were then in pieces thanks to the explosion.
Many of the audiences were left speechless upon seeing this whereas Esdeath got so aroused to the point she started to moan. As much as they really wanted to tell her to stop, they didn't want to cause the awkwardness to develop even more. "Let's just watch this instead." Their comments would still be alright and soon they continued to look at the screen to watch the series.
As that was done, another person with a goatee long hair and a halo, appears on the screen to face the protagonist.
That caught everyone's attention as they were eying on the new person. "Say, who's this guy?" Lubbock asked.
"According to the book, that is Jesus Christ." Susanoo informed them as he read the guidebook that was for Madness Combat.
"Huh?" Everyone uttered as they have not heard that word before.
"Okay, as much as I want Delta and Fives to be here, I think it's safe to say we should ask them instead. Am I right guys?" Leone asked her friends, to which they responded with a nod.
Jesus then electrifies the protagonist, in which he avoided the attack. But it was sent to a dead grunt, who was turned into a zombie as his skin turned green.
Kurome suddenly got a flashback of her Imperial Arm's ability to resurrect a total of eight people upon seeing this. "Why did Jesus revive him?! He should stay dead, not as someone's plaything!"
"Hey," she then turned to face Wave. She can tell that he has that look on his face. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I am." She simply replied back to her love interest before nibbling down on a cookie.
Esdeath then said upon seeing this, "Now the dead has got- "
"NO!" Everyone immediately said as they did not want to hear a single word from her after being weirded out by her arousing from earlier. She could speak after the episode ends.
The Ice Queen just pouted at this and soon she looked back at the screen to continue watching the episode.
The zombie got up and immediately went to where the protagonist was. The central character then retaliated by throwing multiple punches, which resulted in the zombie's head being decapitated. To make sure that it was dead, he then pulled out a Mac-10 from his pocket and fired multiple shots to the body.
"Always make sure that it is fully dead." Esdeath uttered to herself quietly.
Dorothea couldn't help but gulp at this. She was starting to feel like the protagonist was some sort of person who enjoys violence. She then thought, "I wonder how he would fair against Syura and Champ?"
"Man, even the undead is having a hard time against him." Lubbock pointed out as he saw this.
After finishing his zombie opponent, the central character then turns to shoot as Jesus. All of his shots were then blocked by a cross force field shield that he created. Instantly, he then puts the central character to the ground by an electrostatic ray.
Everyone knew that the protagonist was about to die. "Well, it's has been—" Leone was about to say.
"It hasn't been completed, Leone." Akame informed her friend.
All turned to her. "Are you sure?" Tatsumi asked his close friend.
The girl nodded in response. "I'm sure of it, Tatsumi."
Jesus then revives another person to become a zombie to attack the Protagonist. But it would be proved to be useless when the central character then delivers multiple blows with his fists to the zombie before ripped its head off.
"Zombies are useless in this series." Mine bluntly stated as she was no longer wielded out by what had happened earlier.
"Perhaps he likes heading off to other places." Najenda joked, causing everyone including Esdeath to groan at that terrible pun.
Throwing the head to Jesus, he the jumps over it and punches the protagonist to the ground. He slams his whole body four times before he throws the central character to the ground.
Tatsumi eyed at this and can tell what was about to happen. "Now you made him angrier."
"And more interesting." Esdeath said as she scooted up to her darling, which she got glares from Mine and Chelsea.
Lubbock just sighed jealousy at what was happening. "Goddamnit. I know Tatsumi has got an unofficial harem in this group, but can we just watch this without any more disturbance?!"
The protagonist then punches Jesus multiple times, which he disappears for a short time to attack him from behind to uppercut him. Jesus then makes room by tossing the bodies to aside in order to summon his cannon.
Esdeath was making some notes in her head as she was thinking of making such a thing with her Imperial Arm. "Maybe creating such weapons would prevent my darling from going with the others."
Jesus then fires a total of three shots from his cannon, in which the main character avoids it by jumping once and ducking two times. The second which made him grab his gun and shoots Jesus dead as he was caught off guard.
Night Raid and their allies didn't know what to say. Jesus was a formidable opponent to the protagonist. But to be killed by him. Leone then commented, "Damn! Jesus went out of the picture!"
Mine sighed at the blonde's comment, "Now it's Just him and—" She didn't get to continue as what the pinkette and everyone saw next was unbelievable.
With Jesus now dead, the central character begins to shoot down multiple enemies with his Mac-10 and a sawed-off shotgun. At one point, he throws a knife to an opponent before shooting again at multiple enemies with his PPK pistols. He turned to the right side and did the same. He jumped on top of the cannon to avoid a shot that a random enemy shot out before killing him. He then turned back to the left side and shot a few more enemies, which the last one received another throwing knife to the same.
Everyone except Esdeath, who was too aroused, didn't utter a single sentence. They all saw the protagonist slaying a total of twenty-seven enemies. Twenty-nine if they included the zombies. "Holy shit!" Leone commented and almost dropped her mug containing her alcoholic beverage.
"He took them all out in just two minutes." Run added.
"Something tells me that—" Wave was about to say before seeing something on screen.
The protagonist then grabs the boombox offscreen before returning and before he could do anything, he shot the other person dead. Not showing a single sign of hesitation or remorse.
Seeing this killing made most of the members be pissed at what he did. "The hell?!" Mine shouted.
"Why would he do such a thing?!" Tatsumi questioned, angry at what the protagonist did to an innocent bystander.
"He was not part of that fight." Kurome pointed out saddened that he was slain without any reason.
"Bastard!" Both Lubbock and Najenda as they were gritting their teeth to ease their anger.
"He should be brought to justice!" Seyru commented with a bit of bitterness as he had her robotic arm up in the air that was curled into a fist.
"Woof!" Koro agreed with his master.
Esdeath was not bothered by everyone's reaction of the protagonist killing the bystander. She had to admit that he had every right to slay that dancer as he was deemed as a nuisance. "He was dancing too much. Indicating that he was weak to even fight." She'd wish to fight this protagonist if he even comes here in their world.
Shortly after killing the bystander, the protagonist then begins to dance to the music as there were a lot of bodies were just laying there. As he was dancing, a text then appears on the screen:
And so on this day our hero had slain thirty men.
And he would later admit to having a good time doing it.
"Of course, he would enjoy it!" Najenda said as she threw her arms up in the air.
"I have to say, he is no different than the other targets that we had killed." Akame informed them with them agreeing with her.
"I am going to kill him when he comes here." Tatsumi said as he was filled with determination. He did not care how powerful this person was. He needed to be put down to prevent any more lives from being taken from him. Whether they are the innocent or not.
Susanoo looked though the guidebook and informed them on who the person was. "That was Hank J. Wimbleton. A psychopath who cares for little besides fighting and killing and appears to take a nearly animalistic pleasure from the thrill and brutality of combat."
Upon hearing what the human Imperial Arm had just said, everyone then eyed at a certain individual who had the same characteristics as Hank. "What?" Esdeath said with a bit of irritation on her voice.
"Seems like we have a Hank on our side." Leone jokingly said and was a bit scared when the sadist glared at her for saying that.
Thirty two people actually, if you count the zombies.
*Madness Combat OST Ends*
As the episode ends, Run then looks at the rest before he asked in own question. "What are your thoughts on this series so far?"
"It was amazing and Beautiful!" Esdeath instantly said.
Akame had her own answer. "It was violent to say the least."
"Seeing this Madness Combat series makes me want to watch more of it," Leone said as she was quite excited into seeing more episodes.
Tatsumi had to agree with her, "Yeah. I want to know what Hank does after that."
"Probably something that would lead up to a chain of events." The pinkette obvious commented as she had a feeling that it was about to become a list of events thanks to Hank killing those thirty men in cold blood. In a public park no less.
"Well, shall we get started with the next Episode?" Leone asked and everyone failed to realise that Esdeath grabbed the remote off from Lubbock.
"Allow me." The Ice Queen said before pointing the remote at the screen to play the next episode.
A/N: HOLY FUCK-A-MOLI! That was one hell of a chapter to write if you consider that I haven't written a reaction chapter for quite some time. Anyway, sorry if there was no reaction coming from the other characters as it was my first time in a while to write this type of story. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this, and I simply cannot wait to write more. ESPECIALLY when it comes to Episodes like Antipathy and Consternation due to a certain clown that might cause Run to react in a different way as well as the music and actions. Let me know what I should improve on in this series. Merry Christmas to you all and I will see all of you in the next chapter!
