A/N: So, I'm caught up with Fairy Tail 100 Year Quest and I have to say I'm quite enjoying it a lot. The second arc was insane and the main antagonists are no pushovers. What I like best about the manga is that Wendy had several times to shine. Is the story a mess? Yes, I'll have to agree on that a bit but that really hasn't deterred me from enjoying it. I'm looking forward to the next chapter and soon, the anime. And hopefully the dub.

The Assassins of Fairy Tail
Job Forty Seven: Leone's Worth
"Hey, Akame? Why did you want to go out with me?"
"What is exactly your relationship with her?"
Leone was bewildered as she didn't expect her enemy to be asked such a question. The best she could do was at least answer Green honestly. "Uh, Akame's my girlfriend. Why?"
Upon hearing the answer, Green was silent when he heard Leone's answer while Guy and Cornelia had a surprising reaction. "Wait, so Akame's a lesbian? That's actually kinda hot." He muttered that last part.
Cornelia snapped her fingers as if she finally figured something out. "I knew it!" Guy and Natala looked over in her direction appearing slightly confused. She noticed this and looked back at them. "What? I've seen how Akame looked at me and Tsukushi."
The only one who seemed very happy hearing about this was Gilberda. She appeared very elated hearing about Akame's sexual orientation. "Ah, Akame. I knew you'd follow the right path after all. A shame it wasn't with Madam Mera, though." Leone's lion ear picked up what the maid said and made a note of that.
Natala then looked at Green who lowered his head and remained silent. He figured Green must be pretty heartbroken hearing Akame has a girlfriend since he and everyone else knew he loved Akame. "Are you alright, Green?"
Green didn't say anything at first but Natala heard him sigh. "As long as Akame is happy, that's all that matters to me."
Leone couldn't help but scoff quietly at that. "Says the guy part of the group that was trying to kill her."
He raised his head and narrowed his eyes at Leone. "However, I want to know how well you know Akame."
Yet another strange thing for Leone to hear from her enemy. "I'd say I know Akame pretty well. What's it to you?"
Leone saw a look of determination in Green's eyes. "Is that so? If that's true, then I'm sure Akame told you about her kill rank. What was it?"
Confusion was clearly shown on Leone's face as she struggled to find an answer. In all the time she's been with Akame this was the first time she heard of a kill rank. "Uh, I don't know. Akame is pretty strong so I guess she'd be near the top." Apparently, that wasn't the right answer as Green narrowed his eyes at her.

Green threw Sidewinder straight at Leone at a fast speed. She easily dodged to the side and grabbed the weapon while smiling. "Gotcha!"
Green, however, didn't seem worried by that. "Is that so?"
Before Leone knew it, the headpiece of Green's weapon wrapped around her and tied itself around Leone's wrist. Needless to say, she didn't expect that to happen. "What the hell?!"
"Cora!" Green pulled his weapon toward him and Leone followed suit.
Cornelia smiled as she knew what Green's plan was. "Got it!" She dashed to Leone who was coming at her. She stopped and pulled her right arm back. When Leone came close enough, she threw her right arm forward. "PULVERIZATION KING!" Her punch struck Leone and it was devastatingly powerful. Leone let out a loud and painful cough as a loud shockwave appeared from the attack. Green undone his weapon's tying and Leone was blasted back.
Leone crashed through the ground until she stopped and groaned greatly in pain. Her panting was heavy and felt the effects of Cornelia's attack running rampant throughout her body. "Goddamn, that chick hits like a train." She had little time to think as her lion ears flicked up and immediately moved just before another crash happened where she previously was. A small dust cloud kicked up and within it was Cornelia. Leone took a closer look at the other blonde's weapons. "What the hell is that thing she's wearing? An Imperial Arms?"
Cornelia smiled at Leone before giving her a serious expression. "You're wrong, by the way. Akame's kill rank wasn't near the top. Not even close. Out of the seven of us, she was Kill Rank Seven, the weakest out of us all." Leone was astonished to hear that. Akame was one of the strongest in their group, and she was the weakest from her former group? "Just so you know, my Kill Rank is three. Green's is five, and Guy's is two. On top of that, Tsukushi's was six, Pony is four, and Najasho is our number one." It was a lot for Leone to take in. She had no idea Akame was ranked so low compared to the other people she was with previously. She always didn't press Akame on what her past was like because she thought some doors were better off closed, but now that she heard this detail about her, she now realized she doesn't know anything about her. "Green asked you the first question so I'll ask the second; did Akame ever tell you how she was chosen to become an assassin?" Again, Leone hesitated to answer. She knew the reason why Akame fought, but never how she got into the life. Cornelia saw the look on Leone's face and that served as her answer. "I see. So, you don't know. You call yourself Akame's girlfriend and yet you don't know a single thing about her. In that case, as Akame's big sister, I deem you unworthy of her."
Leone bared her fangs at Cornelia and growled at the other blonde. "Sorry, but I don't recall you asking for permission!" She rushed over to where Cornelia was. She was more than ready to take on Leone head-on. However, she was surprised to see Leone disappear in front of her and reappear behind her. "After fighting that pipsqueak alchemist, I already know how to fight powerhouse characters like you!" She pulled her right arm and was about to punch the other blonde but the ground beneath her suddenly sprang up in a box shape and she was launched in the air. "What the hell!?" She caught a quick glimpse of Guy with both his hands on the ground.
Leone then saw Cornelia above her and pulled back her arm for another attack. She threw her next attack at the other girl. "PULVERIZATION KING!" The attack struck Leone and she was sent back crashing into the ground. A dust cloud formed and Cornelia couldn't help but feel that something was off with her last attack. It did connect but it didn't feel as powerful as the last one. It was as if she hit something hard. She couldn't figure it in time as she suddenly found herself being pulled right into the dust cloud.
The dust cloud cleared and it revealed Leone was not only still standing but relativity unharmed. This was because before Cornelia struck her with her attack, Leone managed to do a partial beast-take over where hardened scales appeared at the location where Cornelia was about to it. Leone still felt the power behind the attack but at least the damage on this one was mitigated. As soon as she hit the ground, she took advantage of the dust cloud and her right arm transformed with silver fur. "Imperial Arms Magic! Take-Over Lionel Partial Beast Soul Combination: Spiky Silver Beast!" The hairlines coming from her beast arm wrapped around Cornelia's body without her realizing it. "Okay, bitch! Let's see how you like being punched in the stomach!"
Cornelia was nearing Leone with every passing second and she was more than happy to pay the other girl back for her attacks. Just before Leone could give Cornelia payback, Guy emerged from the ground with his right fist being enlarged with the soil covering it. He punched Leone square in her jaw and sent her back yet again. The soil around his fist crumbled and quickly turned around to safely catch Cornelia in his arms. "You alright, Cora?"
Cornelia smiled at her teammate's save. "Yeah, I'm fine. Nice catch, Guy."
"Come on, let's get these things off you." They both worked together to undo Leone's hairlines.
Leone groaned as she shook her head. "What the hell is it with these guys hitting hard?" She stood up and saw Guy and Cornelia standing next to each other. She made note of Guy's outfit. Seriously, what are those things? The guy's suit looks similar to Incursio's armor. Are they even Imperial Arms?"
Like Leone, Guy made note of her transformed arm and reminded him of something. "That arm of yours. You wouldn't happen to be from the Gravekeepers, would you?"
Leone raised an eyebrow at the questions. "Grave-what? I never heard of them before."
Guy was surprised to hear that coming from Leone. "Is that so? I asked because the Gravekeepers could do what you can; turn parts of their bodies into animals. Our mission was to kill them all because they stole from the Empire and recover the gold and jewelry. Some of them weren't tough, but their leader was on a whole other level. He's the reason why I died in the first place."
Yet another thing Leone didn't know about Akame. Though she was slightly disheartened to know some people could do what she could do with Lionel. However, there was something she was sure of from what she heard from Guy. "Stole from the Empire, huh? No doubt that was a bullshit lie they were fed with."
"Alright, that's enough reminiscing! Time to get back to the fight!" Guy lifted his right leg and slammed his foot on the ground.
Leone felt the ground beneath her quake and tremble. She took a step back and looked at the ground for a second. "The hell? An earthquake?!" The moment of distraction gave Guy enough time to close the distance between them and kneed her powerfully in the stomach. She let out a cough before Guy grabbed her face and slammed the back of her head into the ground. "Nighty-night, kitty-cat." Leone looked at Guy through his fingers and clenched her right fist tightly. She then struck Guy's head and that was enough to get him off Leone.
Leone quickly stood up and saw that Guy almost instantly recovered from her attack. Seeing that absolutely baffled her. "What the hell?! The guy's head should be rolling on the ground by now!" Victory over him wasn't going to be as easy as she thought it was. She stretched her right arm out to the side. "Take-Over: Lionel Partial Beast Soul Combination!" Her silver fur-covered arm now changed to light blue. "Lion of the Full Moon!"
Leone's abilities may be similar to that of the Gravekeepers, but even Guy didn't expect her to change what animal she could use. "Okay, the Gravekeepers definitely couldn't do that."
Leone pulled her arm back and her claws glowed. "Cresent Moon Frenzy!" She swiped her arm across and multiple blades of light were sent out from her claws. All of them were headed straight at Guy and Cornelia. Guy slammed both hands on the ground a large wall of earth emerged in front of them and Leone's attack struck it. Dust kicked up and Leone looked carefully at what her opponents would do next. Then she saw Guy come running out of the dust cloud encased in an armor created out of the earth and heading toward Leone. "Like that's going to work, pal!" Once Guy was halfway, Leone rushed over to him and punched him in the face that went through his head. However, she immediately felt something was wrong and her feeling was right when she saw Guy's entire body crumble into bits and pieces. "What the-a fake!?"
"Pulverization King!" Leone the dust cloud blew out instantly and Leone was hit by a powerful blast of wind that knocked her away. While flying, Guy emerged from the ground and hooked his arm around Leone's neck. He twisted his body around and slammed Leone back into the ground. Leone groaned in pain before seeing Guy attacking from above. She rolled to avoid the attack and Guy kicked the ground where Leone once laid a second ago.
Leone quickly stood up and went back to get a hit in on Guy. Guy stomped his foot on the ground and a large earth block appeared out of the ground between him and Leone. That didn't stop Leone as she punched through the earth block and destroyed it. When she did, Guy wasn't anywhere to be found. What Leone did find was the pointed end of a spear coming down at her. She jumped back at the last second to avoid Natala's attack and Natala swung his weapon from the left side this time. Leone easily caught the weapon and threw a cocky smile at her enemy. "Ha, gotcha!" Natala didn't reply as he jumped and kicked Leone in the face with both his feet. Leone yelled in pain and let go of Natala's weapon. He then did a sweeping kick and knocked Leone off-balance to make her fall to the ground. She opened her eyes and saw Natala pointing his weapon at her. Leone was going to avoid the attack when two arms popped out of the ground and wrapped around her torso tightly. "What the hell?!" Guy was underneath Leone and grinning. Leone had to think of something fast to escape. She transformed her arm and a bright light shined from it. "Radiant Sunne Lion!" The bright light blinded Natala and yelled while closing his eyes and taking a few steps back. While he was momentarily distracted, Leone grunted loudly as she used all her strength to lift herself and pull Guy out of the ground while doing so. Guy knew the dangers if he held on any longer and let go of Leone. As soon as she stood up, she turned around and aimed at the spot where she had a general idea where Guy was. She pulled her right arm back and it started to glow. "Sunsteel Impact!" She punched the ground where she thought Guy was and a pillar of light shot into the air. The ground cracked and crumbled as it shook violently and dust kicked up into the air. The dust cleared out quickly and Leone saw the crater she left. She tsked in disappointment. "Asshole must've gotten away. How the hell am I supposed to fight someone who can hide in the ground?" The question would have to wait for later as her animal instincts kicked in and turned around just in time to see Natala attacking her again.
Leone jumped back to avoid Natala's attack but he kept pressing his attacks, swinging his weapon at her and her continuedly avoiding the attacks. She could grab his weapon like before, but that'd leave her open to another counterattack. So, instead, she took advantage of the brief window of time Nalala leaves when he finishes his swings. After avoiding another attack, she rushed in and threw her arm forward to punch him. However, Natala disappeared when Leone's fist could reach him. It took her a second to process what happened when her animal instincts kicked in and quickly turned around to see Natala swinging his weapon again from above. As a quick response, Leone raised her arm to block the attack and the blade cut into her arm. In a split second, Natala let go of his weapon and delivered a powerful punch to her midsection. Leone grunted as she was pushed away and Natala grabbed the handle of his weapon to dislodge it from Leone's arm. He then pointed his weapon at her and extended it right toward her. Leone recovered and dodged to the side. She didn't bother grabbing the polearm and ran straight at him. "Can't defend yourself now!"
"Who said I'm by myself?"
Leone had a brief moment of confusion before something heavy and powerful struck the side of her face and crashed through the ground. She stopped and groaned in pain before looking up to see who punched her. It was Cornelia standing in front of Natala. "We always look out for each other."
Leone snarled at the other group and glared at them out of frustration. "Even you should know by now..." Green finally showed up and stood next to his teammates. Guy appeared out of the ground and the four members of the Elite Seven were together once again. "You can't win against us."
"That's what you think, jackass." Still, Leone had to admit it was difficult fighting them. They were all on the same team as Akame, and stronger than her. Cornelia with her added super strength through her weapon, some kind of whip Green can control where it goes, Guy who can dig underground and launch surprise attacks, and Leone already knows how good a fighter Natala is. Add their teamwork and even she knew it'd be hard to kill them altogether.
End OST
"Oi, oi, oi! What about me?! All of you had your fun with her!" The rest of the Elite Seven looked back to see Gilberda walking up to them seeming bored out of her mind. "I want to take a shot at the woman who Akame thinks is worthy of her. The only reason I haven't had a chance is that all of you didn't give me an opening!" Leone remained alert. She hadn't seen what this could do. And she was also wondering how Akame knew a maid? Gilberda walked past the Elite Seven and stopped in front of them. "So, from here on..." She threw Leone an egotistical grin and lowered her body. She then dashed right toward Leone. "I'm fighting her one-on-on! Show me what made Akame choose you!"
Gilberda was much faster than Leone thought and saw the maid jump once she was halfway to her. She was about to clash against the maid head-on when her animal instincts kicked in again. It told her that this mad was much more dangerous than she appears to be. So, instead, Leone jumped back and Gilberda's fist struck the ground where Leone previously stood. As soon as Gilberda's fist struck the ground, the ground shook violently and countless cracks spread throughout from the huge crater she'd created. Leone was completely flabbergasted of how powerful Gilberda was. "The hell is this chick!?" In that brief moment of disbelief, Gilberda closed the distance between them and grabbed Leone by the shoulders. She couldn't believe how strong the maid's grip strength was. She could punch and kick Gilberda all she could and still couldn't escape from her grasp. She was completely at her mercy. Gilberda's face neared Leone's and she smiled while licking her lips. The next thing Leone knew was that Gilberda pressed her lips against Leone's. Leone's eyes widened with shock and Gilberda took advantage of that surprise by slipping her tongue inside Leone's mouth. She whined through the kiss and tried to break away, but the maid's grip was too strong. Gilberda then shifted her right hand from Leone's shoulder and cupped her breast to get a nice feel of it. And she thought her breast felt nice and plush. Meanwhile, Cornelia and the others had various reactions to what they were seeing with Cornelia looking away yet glancing at the sight, Green looking down to avoid seeing the sight, same with Natala, while Guy smiled lecherously seeing two hot girls making out.
Gilberda smiled through the kiss and let go of Leone's breast only to punch her in the midsection. Leone coughed out in pain while crashing through the ground. She finally managed to stop and lay on the ground for a minute while placing her hand on her midsection. Even taking several of Cornelia's attacks, they paled in comparison to the blow Gilberda delivered. If she took another direct hit like that, not even Lionel's Regeneration ability would be enough and she'd already taken more than enough damage for it to barely heal her. Leone finally managed to look up and glared at the maid who was pleasantly smiling at her. "What the hell was that about, you fucking bitch!? And what the hell are you? Another alchemist?" She didn't think she'd go up against an opponent who was even stronger than Dorothea in terms of strength.
Gilberda only chuckled at Leone's question and anger. "An alchemist? No, I've always been this strong ever since I was born. It was the reason why my parents sold me away but Madame Mera saw my potential and allowed me to join the Oarburgh Clan. Since then, I've devoted my heart, body, mind, and soul to her and serve her in any way I can. And I do mean in any way." She expressed that last part. Leone had a pretty good guess as to what she meant by that. "Anyway, it's been too long since I've had any action. If only I had more time, I'd love to ravish you. You have one hot body that I want to explore every inch and hear more of those sounds you made before. Just from that, I can tell you're the submissive type. Tell me, do you scream out Akame's name every time you fuck?" Leone didn't respond and blushed heavily at Gilberda's words. Seeing her expression caught the maid's attention. "You have had sex with Akame right?"
Leone growled at the maid. "How about you mind your own damn business of other people's personal lives!"
Gilberda cackled as figured something out about Leone. "Holy shit, you're a virgin, aren't you!? You never went all the way with Akame, did you!?"
"Will you shut the hell up!"

Leone, without thinking, rushed toward Gilberda and threw her fist forward. However, the maid easily caught the attack and stopped it dead in its tracks. She then tightened her grip on Leone's fist and slowly bent it backward. She yelled in pain as she dropped to one knee. Gilberda loved hearing Leone in pain and kicked her from the side. She tumbled across the ground and screamed in pain continually while clutching the side the maid kicked her at. Gilberda couldn't get enough of her screaming. "It's too bad, really. I'd love nothing more than to take your virginity..." Her expression changed to anger. "But Akame did the one unforgivable thing and that WAS BETRAYING MADAM MERA! So, I'm going to do the next best thing." She dashed over to Leone. "AND THAT'S DELIVERING YOUR MANGLED CORPSE FOR AKAME TO SEE!" Leone turned to the side seeing Gilberda coming right at her. She quickly moved from her position and Gilberda struck the ground where she left a sizable crater.
Leone took advantage of the brief opening and ran back to Gilberda. This time, she'd make her attack count and punched the maid square in the jaw with everything she had. She then winced in pain and saw that her attack didn't even faze Gilberda. She smiled and Leone immediately backed away. What the hell is this chick?! My attack didn't even hurt her!" Gilberda kept smiling as easily closed the distance between them and pulled her right arm back before delivering a deadly uppercut. Leone managed to avoid the attack at the last second and jumped back to further distance herself from the maid again. "It's fine. This isn't the first time I've gone up against an opponent stronger than me. All I have to do is outmaneuver her." As soon as she finished that thought, she saw Gilberda vanish from her sight and felt a powerful elbow strike to her back. Leone yelled in pain again and tumbled across the ground. On top of being confused, she didn't know how much damage her body could take before it became too much for Lionel to heal her.
End OST
"You know, I'm surprised." Leone glanced back at Gilberda. "You've taken three hits from me and you're still breathing. Most things are dead by the first hit. And do you know what the funny part is? I'm not even using all of my strength on you." Leone panted heavily as she stood up. If she was this powerful without trying, Leone didn't know how strong she truly was. She was definitely more powerful than Dorathea. "You get who you're up against? I served Madam Mera, the most important person to me in my life and the leader of the Oarburgh Clan. And Akame spat in her face after everything she's done for her! The only reason I died was because that blonde bastard cut me with that damn sword and even still, I didn't yield until the very end. But now I have a second chance. If I don't kill Akame myself by the time I'm finished with you, Madam Mera will surely finish the job and we'll have our revenge. It'll be the second sweetest thing we've done to her."
Leone had a sickening feeling as soon as she heard that. "And what do you mean by that?"
Gilberda chuckled wickedly at Leone's question. "She never told you, did she? About what we did to her to save her sister? You should know Akame let out some of the sweetest sounds a girl could make." Leone's eyes widened as she started to understand what Gilberda was talking about. "A girl as cute and helpless as Akame, we definitely took advantage of exploring every inch of her body. We all took turns and..." She shuttered and her legs quivered while grabbing the bottom hem of her skirt and moaning. "God, even thinking about it still gets me revved up. You may be a virgin, but you'll never be able to take what was once Akame's."
Leone closed her hand tightly and lowered her head. She recalled everything she was asked up to this point. "Is that so? If that's true, then I'm sure Akame told you about her kill rank. What was it?"
"I thought I knew."
"Green asked you the first question so I'll ask the second; did Akame ever tell you how she was chosen to become an assassin?"
"I don't know."
"She never told you, did she? About what we did to her to save her sister? You should know Akame let out some of the sweetest sounds a girl could make."
"She never told me." A revelation came to her Leone. I know more about Wendy's past and even Chelsea's, but...I don't know anything about Akame's. I always thought it'd be best for me not to pry into Akame's past, but that only proves I'm stupid. It just shows I don't know her any deeper than that." Within her mind, a single water drop struck an inky black surface that rippled throughout everywhere and a single image of Akame smiling appeared briefly before disappearing. "Akame...I..."
Gilberda cracked her knuckles. "So, how about we finish this? I want to see the face Akame makes when I bring the corpse of the person she loves, over to Madame Mera."

Leone remained silent for several seconds. "Before you do, I have something to say." She raised her head and turned around to face Akame's former teammates. "Fine, you win! I admit I don't know anything about Akame!" They were surprised to hear that from her. "But I do know some things about her. I know she must've shouldered all the heartache she experienced before meeting me and the rest of Night Raid. The fact you're all dead now must mean she took all your losses heavily. I know she must've gone through some tough times and it mustn't be easy for her to keep going. And yet despite all that, she can find a reason to smile. I guess you can say that's one of the reasons why I was drawn to her so much. We fought together so we can see a better tomorrow for the people. And we'll do the same thing, fighting Alverez so we can see a tomorrow together. For that to happen..." She grabbed her sling and ripped it away from her. She then tossed it away. "I don't plan on dying here or anytime soon!"
Green was impressed by Leone's words. It seemed Akame did find some good people after their deaths. "If you strongly believe that, then show us!" He and the others prepared themselves for the next round. Gilberda was ready too as killing Leone after making that speech would make her victory and seeing the look on Akame's face all that sweeter.
Leone glanced over to her arm and moved it a little. It appeared it had recovered enough after being reattached. She smiled and looked back at Akame's teammates. "Now that my arm's all healed up, I'll show you how strong I really am and I have the perfect thing in mind to use on all of you. Now..." She slammed her hand on the ground and dust blew out around her. Her body began to glow and then shined brightly. It was bright enough for Gilberda, Green, and the others to shield their eyes from the light. The light dimmed and they lowered their arms to see Leone in a completely different form. Her entire body was clad in black scales and the scales covering both her cheeks, her hair had become black, spiky, and long enough for the end tip to reach the ground, her lion claws had become monster claws, the same with her feet. Her eyes retained their golden yellow color. She let out a low and dangerous growl. "Take-Over: Lionel Legendary Beast Soul Combination! Aggrorian Beast!" Leone then let out a powerful, beastly roar that echoed throughout the sky.
End OST
As soon as she finished roaring, she smiled confidently at her enemies. "This Take-Over has a fun story behind it. I thought it'd be fun to do an S-Rank job behind the old lady's back because it had a monster I really wanted to add to my collection. Needless to say, it definitely lived up to that S-Rank difficulty. Anything we threw at it didn't even leave a scratch on it. That was when Akame thought of the idea that she let the monster eat her. We all thought she was crazy but she was confident this idea would work and I trusted her. She let that monster eat her and in the next second, it roared out in pain. That's when we figured that the bastard might be tough on the outside, but if Akame cut it with Murasame on the inside, that'd be enough. It spat her out and shouted at me that this was my chance before the poison could kill it and I took it. I managed to take it over before it died and that's how I ended up with this form. Then the old hag found out what we did and we were punished for going on a job outside our rank. It was worth it, though." She laughed at the memory now. "And this form is one of my strongest. Second strongest now to be exact." It was once her strongest Take-Over but that was before she managed to take over the Tyrant Dragon. "This Take-Over means a lot to me because it was Akame that helped me to get it. Before I deal with all of you..." She turned around to face Gilberda and narrowed her eyes at her that had a burning hatred within them. "I'm going to make you pay for what you did to Akame."
Gilberda only grinned and didn't feel the least bit threatened. "Oh, is that so? You may have a new form, but that's not going to be enough to win against me. I've fought giant Danger Beasts before and you're not going to be any different. In fact..." She grunted and roared as the sleeves of her maid outfit suddenly burst to reveal muscular arms. "Oarburgh Technique: Limit Removal!" She kept that same grin and felt she was bursting with power. "This is me at my absolute strongest! I'll show you the difference between you and me!" She launched herself right at Leone. The maid quickly closed the distance between them and pulled her right arm back. Gilberda was then punched powerfully square in the jaw right to the ground and it shattered beneath both her and Leone. Gilberda was in a state of shock and actually felt a great deal of pain. Gilberda then felt a hand grab her throat and grip it tightly and powerfully. She saw that it was Leone and grabbed her arm to pry it off her. However, to her surprise, even with her limit removal, she couldn't tear her hand off her throat. She punched and kicked Leone to make her let go, but all of it was fruitless.
Leone kept glaring at Gilberda with an even stronger hatred in her eyes. "That was for all the crap you put me through and this..." She raised her other arm and aimed. "IS FOR WHAT YOU DID TO AKAME!" Gilberda screamed before Leone punched her straight in the face and created a larger crater around them. Gilberda's legs shot up briefly before slamming back to the ground like dead weight. Silence filled the air as Leone stood up and walked away from Gilberda's corpse. She stepped out of the crater and stood in front of the edge while focusing on Green and the others. "Either come at me all at once or one by one, I don't care! I'll send all of you back to your grave!"
Insert Akame Ga Kill OST: Gekisen
Green and the others looked at each other for a brief moment and nodded with one another before looking back at Leone. No matter how strong she became now, their teamwork would be enough to overcome her. They all ran together at the same time and had the perfect plan to take Leone down. At closing the distance halfway, Leone disappeared and struck them all simultaneously which caused them to be separated from one another. They were each sent away from each other Leone and felt great pain course through their body. It wasn't enough to stop Natala from being the first to stand up and narrow his eyes at his enemy. He twirled Trisula around and before dashing right back at her. Leone turned around just as Natala drew back his weapon and swung it at her. Leone didn't move and Natata's attack struck her, only for his weapon to break as soon as it struck her body. He was in a brief state of shock of seeing his weapon destroyed and didn't notice he left himself wide open for Leone's next attack. She pulled her arm back and threw a destructively powerful punch at his body. The force behind the punch was great enough to exit through his back and a circle of dust quickly spread out around them. Natala coughed out blood as the punch destroyed all his ribs and internal organs before being blasted away from her.
Cornelia raised her head in time to see Leone kill one of her teammates. "Natala!" She quickly stood up and ran straight to her. Once she was close enough, Cornelia jumped with her right arm pulled back. "PULVERIZATION KING!" Leone saw the attack coming and didn't move. Instead, she held her right hand out and caught Cornelia's attack. The air reverberated from the attack hitting her palm and everything remained still until blood spurted out of Cornelia's arm. Leone grinned as she closed her hand and crushed Cornelia's Shingu. Cornelia screamed loudly in pain as she dropped to the ground.
Blood dripped from Cornelia's arm and panted heavily and frantically. "Scales stronger than the strongest castles, power greater than the greatest armies combined, and teeth sharper than any blade forged by fire." Cornelia looked up at Leone. "That's the story Saying how strong this beast was and that's why I wanted to add this to my collection and it certainly proved those stories to be true. If all of us combined couldn't put a scratch on that thing, your weapons won't do a damn thing to me." There was one other thing Leone liked about this form. "Plus, thanks to this form, Lionel can finally start healing me uninterrupted while I'm impervious to damage. The strongest defense plus awesome regeneration makes one hell of an unbeatable combo." Leone raised her other hand and readied her claw. "If it makes you feel any better, I do hate doing this to Akame's former teammates. If circumstances were different, I bet we could've gotten along great." Those were the last words Cornelia heard before Leone slashed her across the chest diagonally and blood spurted out.
Green and Guy recovered just in time to see Leone kill Cornelia and her lifeless body dropped to the ground. . "CORA!"
Guy growled as he quickly stood up and was enraged. "YOU BITCH! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!"
"Guy, wait!" He knew Guy would rush headfirst to his death and before he could throw Sidewinder, Leone already closed the distance between Guy and her and she kneed him in the stomach. He grunted in pain right before Leone pulled her right arm back and delivered an uppercut that sent him flying in the air.
Leone quickly jumped after him and flew past him as she was now above him. "You can't do crap while you're in mid-air, can you!?" She pulled her right back and punched straight at Guy to deliver another terrifyingly powerful blow to the chest that sent him crashing back into the ground. A crater was formed up impact and a large cloud of dust kicked up. The dust cloud cleared quickly to reveal Guy's chest caved in.
End OST
Leone landed on the ground and all of her attention was focused on Green. "I guess it's just you and me, Four-Eyes." Green wrapped Sidewinder around his hand and stretched it strongly across his chest. She proved to be a much more powerful adversary than he originally thought. He couldn't help but be a little impressed by her strength. If someone as strong as her was by Akame's side for this long, then maybe his opinion of her changed a little. "You are powerful, I'll admit that. Perhaps you do have what it takes to look after Akame. One fear that I had after I died is what would happen to Akame after I died? I wanted nothing more than to protect her and make her smile. She...was everything to me and that is still true now. Despite the circumstances, I was...happy seeing her again and she was still as beautiful as I remember. If you do have the same feelings as Akame, even if they're stronger, then please ensure that she never loses that beautiful smile of hers. Protect her all costs."
Like Green, Leone had a different opinion of him. She could tell he truly did love Akame. She then thought of what Akame told her before the war started. "Leone, I want to ask you something. A favor. If my heart should come to embrace the demon within and I should become possessed by this cursed blade and become a danger to everyone else, I want you to kill me." I wouldn't mind dying if it was by your hands. I would consider it an honor."
Leone was still against killing Akame if the worst would come to pass. She'd do everything in her power to snap Akame back into the girl she fell for. "Yeah, I will. I promise you that."
Green lowered his weapon and smiled peacefully at Leone. "Thank you." Those were the last words he spoke before Leone vanished and slashed the side of his neck before reappearing behind him. She remained silent as he heard Green's body drop to the ground.
What was once a difficult battle for Leone, silence quickly followed. She looked up at the sky and envisioned Akame smiling. She recalled what she joked to Akame. "Hey, Akame. When this whole thing is over…you wanna get married?" It was a joke, but now she had something else in mind what to do after the war. "Akame, when I see you again, I have something important I want...I need to tell you."
A/N: This time I'll just outright say the reference since this is a pretty old one. The Aggriorian Beast is a reference to my first major crossover story, A Certain Stylish Devil where one of my OCs, Laylula, summons the Aggrorian Beast and then merges with it. That's all I'm going to say on the chance someone is interested in reading that story. So, since I'm caught up with 100 Year Quest, will I make it the next entry for Wendy and the others? Probably not. I don't see how I can add something of my own or change something to make more entertaining. It's pretty straightforward. Besides, I already have a third entry in mind and let's just say playing a certain game inspired me to create it.
