WAZZZUUUUPPPPP! Im sorry, is that old now? Here's the 7th chapter!

Well fellow readers, it's finally over. After 6 long years since its release in 2010, Akame ga Kill has closed the book with its 78th chapter. It's been a wild ride, folks. I gotta say, it has a much better ending than the anime and while I still think the major character deaths were way too overused, i enjoyed it from beginning to end and I'm proud that I managed to stick with it for so long. Hope you all feel the same!

I realize that I've kind of been dragging this whole thing for a little bit too long and I know that many of you want to see the Ultrabots but I swear there is just one more chapter after this one and the Ultrabots will finally make their long awaited appearance. I'm happy that you all managed to stay patient.

Review Time!

Pyromania101: I understand that wholeheartedly and I think it's funny too! Thank you for telling me about the fortress, I made the corrections in this chapter.

Sullimike23: You will find out who when you read!

Guest #1: YES. 100% YES TO ALL FOUR. About posting two reviews, no problem dude.

00Altair: Thank you for giving my story a look see and the Ultrabots will show up, I swear.

Thaqif: I actually have plans on changing the Ultrabots voices. They sounded threatening when we first heard them a long time ago but now they just seem kind of hammy. I will be searching for a new, more threatening voice for all of them and I will make them more malicious than they were in the episode. Find out who grabbed Mine's ankle as you read on! Also, it's 19 Ultrabots now.

NRG: Thank you for the advice concerning Wave and Kurome as well as the other Jaegers. You have been an amazing help with this story and I don't think I could've done any of this without your helpful advice. Thank you again, hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Guest #2: I have plans on going back to that, don't worry. I will do one more chapter of this and I will go back to working on my Evangelion/Godzilla crossover story.

Akame ga Kill and Samurai Jack belong to their respective owners. I do not own either of them.

Chapter 7

Trauma

PRINCE NUMA'S FORTRESS-INNER CITY

(Resident Evil 3 soundtrack-The City Without Hope)

When you look at the massive fortress of the northern capital, you would think that it was just some regular old, oversized fort meant to deter invaders. But in reality, it also housed a small city within its gigantic walls and it also doubled as a castle. It was quite the sight to behold but now, it was a demolished shell of its former glory.

The walls had been completely blown apart and the defensive positions covering the walls were effortlessly wrecked. It was like they all had no effect against whoever was attacking the fortress. The interior was a whole other story. It was nothing short of a total slaughter. Buildings lay in ruins while even more bodies of northern soldiers and innocent civilians covered nearly every inch of the city. It wasn't a big as the Capital or its districts but it was still just as horrible.

Leone, Bulat and Susanoo were teamed up again as they scoured the city while Najenda and Lubbock searched the ramparts of the fortress walls. As the trio explored the ruined city, the same feelings they had when they explored the southern district of the Capital came back.

Shock.

Sadness.

Failure.

They quietly walked through the streets of the empty city. The massacred bodies of the people living here dominated their eyes. The sight alone would've made anyone flee for their lives and move to a different country but Night Raid was braver than that. They had a mission to do…no matter how pointless it seemed.

They eventually came upon the main courtyard. The saw more horribly massacred corpses and the still flowing fountain was now filled with red-stained water. But there were several things that Leone, Bulat and Susanoo began to notice. There were multiple tables flipped over, an assortment of food littering the ground and dozens of broken bottles filled with wine or beer.

"Looks like these guys were having some kind of shindig." Leone guessed as she picked up a broken bottle. She saw that it was a particularly popular brand of alcohol. She frowned; it was a waste of good booze. She saw that some of the bodies on the ground wore butler and maid outfits. She cocked an eyebrow.

"But why would they hold a party? Wasn't Esdeath almost at their doorstep?" Bulat questioned.

"Dunno. We'll probably never know since I doubt there's anyone alive. Hey Mr. Su, what do you think?" Leone called out. When she didn't receive an answer she and Bulat turned around to see the humanoid Teigu looking over several dead soldiers slumped against the wall of a destroyed house. They walked over to him, wondering what was wrong.

"Some of these men killed themselves." He confirmed. Bulat and Leone threw him a disturbed look. He pointed to the weapons that were in their hands. Most of them were pistols and knives. Leone bent down and took a closer look. Some of their throats were slit while the rest and bullet holes in the sides of their heads.

"You're right. Most of these are self-inflicted. They took their own lives rather than face whoever attacked. What a way to go…" Leone said mournfully as she shook her head.

THWACK

Bulat suddenly punched the wall causing Leone and Susanoo to turn their heads towards him. The man was shaking and his features were one of anger and frustration.

"Damn it all…it's the same thing everywhere we go! Why the hell are they doing this?! What even happened here?!" He demanded.

"I do not know, old friend. But one shudders to imagine what atrocities took place here. What images of sustained and abominable cruelty?" Susanoo said grimly.

Leone looked towards the bloody devastation before her and gulped. What the hell were they up against?

PRINCE NUMA'S FORTRESS-RAMPART ARMORY

(Resident Evil 2 soundtrack-The Library)

After exploring the ramparts and finding nothing of interest, Najenda and Lubbock went downstairs to explore the armory. They walked through the gore smattered hallways while stepping over the butchered forms of numerous northern soldiers that had met their grisly end. They cautiously opened the main door to the armory and they instantly wrinkled their noses in disgust when the stench of death entered their nostrils. They saw more bodies vivisected in ways they couldn't even describe and the whole floor was wet with blood. Several swords and assorted firearms were scattered across the room.

The one thing that really got their attention, as well as unnerve them further, was several messages written in blood on the walls.

WE ARE ALL DOOMED

ABANDON ALL HOPE

GOD HAS FORSAKEN US

Najenda shook her head. All of this was like something out of a horror story. There was no reasoning, no explanation, and no proper motive behind these methodic killings. It was like Zanku all over again but on an entirely different level. As she looked around the room she noticed Lubbock looking out the window, most likely staring that the flaming remains of the village outside. She noticed that there was a glint of fear in his eyes. Letting out an inaudible sigh, she walked over to Lubbock.

"How are you holding up?" She asked, instantly getting his attention.

"Me? Oh…uh…well im pretty confident we'll stop these guys if we-"

"You're scared Lubbock. I can tell." She interrupted. Lubbock's features fell.

"Yeah…I guess I am. It's just that we still don't know who is doing this and why. I mean, we've seen a lot of death ever since we formed Night Raid but this…" He trailed off, gesturing to the bodies.

"I know what you mean. Back in my imperial days I always saw this sort of thing daily when the truth about the Empire became more apparent to me and you know what? I was scared too. I was only scared a little bit but I always still felt a twinge of fear. However, I learned to accept that fear rather than just try to ignore it or hide it away. I just simply accepted it and overtime, it began to go away on its own. You could try doing that if it helps." Najenda advised, giving him a smile.

That instantly perked up Lubbock who began blushing. "Thanks. "He said, rubbing his arm. "Don't worry about a thing now, I'll make sure we get down to the bottom of this mystery and I'll watch your back for as long as I need to!" Lubbock said proudly while thumbing his chest.

Najenda gave him a slight grin of satisfaction. 'You were probably waiting for this moment for a long time, eh Lubbock? I always knew you had feelings for me the first time we met. You do know you're not good at hiding that, right? This is not the right time to fall in love, especially with everything going on. But I have been known to be very committed so if all of us do make it out of this…maybe that might be nice.' She thought internally.

CRASH

Najenda and Lubbock snapped their heads towards a heavy looking door at the far end of the room with the words "Ammunition Storage" written above the door. There were multiple decapitated bodies slumped up against the door and it had several scratch marks all over the front. Lubbock whipped out multiple wires from Cross Tail and formed them into several throwing knives. Najenda pumped her prosthetic arm like a shotgun, which activated the heavy machinegun function in her upgraded arm. Her wrist open up to reveal a weapon barrel and several bullets running into it via an ammo belt in her arm.

They cautiously made their way over to the door and the both of them got on each side, preparing to breach it. Najenda and Lubbock gave each other a brief nod before the founder of Night Raid slammed her prosthetic fist straight through the door, grabbed the handle on the other side and wrenched the door straight off its hinges.

They head a terrified cry inside the room and saw a frightened female soldier hiding behind a flipped over table. The woman had brown, waist length hair and was dressed in northern soldier attire. She was caked in blood and wielding a revolver in her trembling hands. She was shaking all over and her eyes were wide with crazed fear. Tears stained her freckled cheeks.

"GET AWAY! GET AWAY FROM ME!" She screamed, pointing the gun directly at them.

The duo instantly held up their hands as a gesture of non-aggression.

"Woah, woah, woah! Easy!" Najenda yelled.

"Take it slow, lady!" Lubbock added.

"DON'T TAKE ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS ME! I SWEAR I'LL SHOOT!"

Lubbock and Najenda took a step back, not wanting to provoke her any further. For several seconds nobody moved an inch until the woman started to calm down. "A-a-are t-they g-g-g-gone?" She stammered.

"It's just us, ma'am. You're safe." Najenda assured her.

"Are you okay? Can you tell us what happened?" Lubbock inquired.

The woman's eyes started darting about left and right. "They…they just came out of nowhere…before we knew it, the village and set ablaze and we were under attack. I-I-I was up on the wall. We were all firing at them but our weapons had no effect…before we knew it they were upon us and we were b-b-b-being cut down left and right!" She babbled, her revolver making audible clacking sounds as she shook.

"Me a-a-and several others ran in here…we could hear them coming down the steps…I p-p-p-panicked and locked the door behind me. I could hear one of those things tear them apart as they b-b-banged on the door! And then I heard them destroying the inner city! They just started killing everyone! The screaming, OH GOD THE SCREAMING!" she wailed while tears streamed down her face.

The two Night Raid members didn't know where they should feel bad for this woman or be mad at her for leaving her comrades to die. But seeing as how traumatized she was, they could only feel sympathy for her and the least they could do was help her. But what did she mean when she called the ones who attacked the fortress "things" and why didn't their weapons have any effect on them? The sooner they got answers from her the better but first, they needed to calm her down.

"Ma'am, you're safe now and we will do everything we can to help you. Just try to relax, put the gun down and calm yourself." Najenda said quietly as she slowly moved towards her.

The Woman's face looked hopeful but suddenly changed into utter, inconsolable sorrow. "No…no….no….." She whimpered. Lubbock slowly followed Najenda's lead, hoping to get the woman to lower her weapon and trust them. The woman looked up to them with a saddened, completely hopeless expression.

"You're all going to die…." She whimpered as she put the barrel of the revolver in her mouth!

"NO!" Najenda yelled as she rushed towards her.

Lubbock instantly flung out several wires towards the woman in an attempt to wrench the gun out of her hands…but he was too late.

BLAM

THWUMP

Najenda and Lubbock stared at the body with a look utter shock. Najenda's face suddenly contorted into pure anger and viscously punched the ground, leaving a large fist indentation.

"GOD F***ING DAMMIT!" She roared. They were so close to getting answers!

"Boss…I-I'm sorry. I wasn't fast enough…"Lubbock said sorrowfully as he ran his hand through his hair. He looked at the ground, unable to look her in the eye. He heard Najenda walking over to him, most likely about to chew him out for his failure. But instead of that, he felt a hand on his shoulder and lifted his head up to see Najenda giving him a sympathetic look.

"It's not your fault." She said softly.

PRINCE NUMA'S FORTRESS-INNER CITY

Najenda and Lubbock exited the ramparts and began to walk towards the city when the saw Leone, Bulat, and Susanoo running towards them.

"Master! We heard a gunshot! Are you okay?" Susanoo worriedly asked.

Lubbock threw him a condescending look. "What about me?" He griped.

"We found a survivor but she…took her own life." Najenda said, her features crestfallen.

"It's the same in this city as well." Bulat revealed. "This group must be using some kind of terror tactics to demoralize their adversaries."

"Mabye…" Najenda said, cupping her chin in thought. They soon began to hear the sounds of footsteps approaching from behind them and turned around to see Tatsumi, Akame, Mine, Sheele and Chelsea come in through the large gates of the city. What caught their eyes was that Tatsumi was dragging a large sled with somebody on it.

"Get over here! This guy needs help really bad!" Mine shouted.

The rest of the team ran over to get a better look. Lying on the sled was a man in his mid 20's wearing heavily damaged battle armor with ripped up clothing underneath. He had a slim build and slick, black hair. He had a large gash in his chest and all some parts of his face as well as his fingers had turned a dark purple. He also wore a metal headpiece with a cross-like symbol in the center.

Najenda instantly recognized that symbol! "It's Prince Numa!" She exclaimed.

"Get out of here! Really?!" Leone asked.

"That symbol is a mark of northern royalty. It's him alright. Where did you find him?"

"We found him as we were heading back to you guys. He was buried under the snow." Chelsea explained.

"We need to get him inside. The cold isn't doing him any favors."

PRINCE NUMA'S BED CHAMBER-3 HOURS LATER.

Night Raid headed to the other end of the city which led to the palace of the northern fortress. It wasn't as big or glorious to look at like the imperial palace but it was still just as magnificent. They got inside and traversed the decorated hallways until they found Numa's royal bedroom. Susanoo stayed behind to give the wounded prince medical attention while the rest of Night Raid searched the palace. For some strange reason, the castle was largely untouched and there weren't any bodies. After exploring the castle for several hours, they all rendezvoused outside the prince's bed chamber and relayed their findings in the city and the village.

"I see…so they might be using advanced weaponry. They could also be using Teigus on top of those too." Najenda surmised.

"But where did that get that kind of gear?" Leone wondered.

"There is the southern country of Vrelaka." Chelsea guessed. "They are a heavily industrialized nation so maybe that's where they got their weapons at. As for the Teigus, I'm not really sure…maybe they fell into their hands."

"Would this nation really want to see this country burn?" Tatsumi asked.

"Think of it this way, bro. The 4 countries that surround this one are nowhere near as horribly corrupt as the Empire; they all have their secrets and motives…" Bulat explained. Everyone let that fact sink in. They still didn't know who this group was but now there was the factor that they might have been hired by someone outside of the Empire's boundaries. After they successfully eliminated this group, Night Raid had to do an extensive investigation as to why they were here and if they actually were hired then they had to know which country they worked for.

The heard a door opening and saw Susanoo exit the bed chamber. Everyone looked to him, expecting an answer of the prince's condition. He shut eyes and solemnly shook his head. "It's not good. His wounds are fatal; he's lost a lot of blood, not to mention internal hemorrhaging and severe frostbite."

"How long does he have?" Akame asked.

"He'll be dead within the hour. I know he's already dying but this may be our only chance to ask him what happened and identify who this group is." He advised.

Susanoo was right. When were they ever going to get the chance to finally know what was going on? They all quietly entered the room and took their coats off. Susanoo had gotten a fire going in the bedroom's massive fireplace on the left wall which illuminated the whole room. The room itself certainly was fit for a prince. Wallpaper and carpets with dazzling designs, portraits of the prince in all of his (slightly exaggerated) glory and highly expensive furniture that would make any noble horribly jealous. There was also a large desk on the right side of the room with numerous stacks of paper and a map of the country.

But their main focus was the large bed at the other end of the room. And there, lying in that bed was the prince of the northern tribes. Numa looked absolutely terrible. He was very pale, was shivering underneath the covers and both of his hands were heavily bandaged. His face was an expression of pain and near death. Everyone stood by the side of his bed, their features forlorn and sorrowful.

Najenda silently pulled up a chair near the prince and sat down. She gently took his hand, noting that even in the warm room it still felt cold. Numa creaked open his eyes and looked at the people near his bedside.

"You…are Night Raid….aren't you?" He asked weakly.

Najenda nodded. "Good to finally meet you in person."

"The feeling is…mutual." He replied, giving her a small smirk. He then turned towards Mine. "I…apologize if I...scared you."

"No harm done." Mine replied quietly. Numa gave her a smile and turned back to Najenda.

"I…suppose all of…you want to know…what happened here?" He guessed.

"If it's not too much trouble." Najenda said, still holding his hand.

"No trouble at all…I know my end is near so I will tell…you everything before…I leave this mortal coil." Numa said as the group gathered closer.

"It was several days ago…we had been successful in stalling General Esdeath for as…long as we could but she just kept pushing further and further…towards my fortress. She was closing in on us…and we were ready to mount a vigorous…defense. But then we heard a massive explosion…coming from the Capital and several more following after that. You…could hear it all the way…from over here. That's when Esdeath began to retreat…back to the Empire. I sent several scouts to the mountains so that they could get a better view and ascertain what was happening. They reported that…the Capital was being besieged…we thought it was the Revolutionary Army and we celebrated the end of the corrupt Empire. I had all my servants prepare a feast for…all of my soldiers and my people. I even had the servants themselves join in as well." He revealed.

Leone remembered seeing bodies that were differently dressed from the villagers and soldiers. That must've explained why the castle was so empty.

"We laughed and cheered amongst ourselves for days. We were all finally free from the wretched shackles of the Empire…and then….and then…" Prince Numa began to trail off as his eyes widened in horror.

"And then what?" Najenda pressed.

(Resident Evil 2 soundtrack-Police Station Basement)

"They came from the shadows…and our laughter was drowned in blood. They attacked my village and the fortress at the same time…we tried to defend ourselves…but our attempts were futile. Our bullets and blades bounced off of their armor…and their weapons were unlike anything I've ever seen. I tried to fight one of them but…my efforts were all for naught. I was fatally wounded. They were going to finish me off but they knew I would…eventually die and they… turned their attention to the rest of my soldiers and my…people." He rasped. Steadily growing fear was evident in his voice.

Night Raid was visibly tensing up when they heard the story. They began to visualize the events in their heads. Homes set aflame, buildings demolished like cheap cardboard, soldiers ripped apart one by one and helpless villagers screaming bloody murder as they were ruthlessly killed.

"We didn't stand a chance…they were…relentless. They destroyed my village, my fortress and the city…all of it. Then…left as…mysteriously as they came." He finished.

Tatsumi began to ball his fits as he gritted his teeth in anger. "We can't let this go on! We have to stop these people!" He exclaimed.

"Same here! These lunatics need to be put down 12 feet under!" Leone joined in, cracking her knuckles.

"I concur as well. This senseless destruction must be stopped." Akame said.

"People? You think…the monsters who did this were…people?" Numa suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on Tatsumi. He nodded, unsure of what the prince meant. Numa began shaking in pure fear and clutched the sides of his head.

"The ones…responsible for this atrocity are not human beings…they are demons sent straight from hell."

Everyone felt a collective chill run up their spines. They had no idea what to make of that sentence.

"Uhh…can we go back a little bit there? That whole 'demons from hell' bit. What's that all about-" Lubbock began to ask when the prince suddenly started hacking up blood! Numa began convulsing violently as Najenda tightened her grip on his hand. Numa sat himself up and placed a firm grasp on her shoulder. "To the…east….they…left….to the….east….."

His eyes rolled into the back of his head and slumped down onto his side. He was completely still and his breathing had ceased. Najenda put two fingers on his neck to check for a pulse…there was none. She closed her eyes and silently laid the late prince of the northern tribes down onto the bed and pulled the covers over him. A long silence hung over the room.

"What do you think he meant by 'demons'?" Sheele asked no one in particular.

"He was probably suffering from PTSD. Must've been seeing things, I guess." Mine shrugged.

"Maybe…but if he was telling the truth then there's a chance that these guys aren't human." Chelsea added.

"His death wasn't in vain. At least we know where this group is going." Najenda firmly stated.

"But we still don't know what their intentions are." Bulat reminded.

"Damn, you're right. I just wish we could know why…" Najenda said as she tried to wrap her head around this. The others began to think as well, trying to figure out what this group was after. Tatsumi was brainstorming as hard as he could until his eyes found their way over to the map on Numa's desk. As he looked at it, his eyes began to widen in realization as everything suddenly started to add up.

"I know what they're doing!" Tatsumi exclaimed as he went over to the desk. Everyone looked to him he started to clear the desk of papers. They all walked over to him, wondering what he was on to. He had the map of the whole country laid out and had procured a pencil from the desk drawer.

"Okay. Before I begin, is there anything of importance in the west?" Tatsumi asked as he pointed to the westernmost part of the map. It was a small area, with most of the sea taking up the rest of the map.

"The coastlines are all port towns and the Empire has multiple ships stationed here but aside from a few cities, a couple of tribes and some rebel encampments, there nothing really of great interest there." Akame answered.

"Alright. Now, we all know that this group struck here first." Tatsumi began as he circled the Capital with his pencil. He then began to draw a line up to the northern part of the map and circled the area. "And after they were done, they moved up to the north and attacked this fortress. But here's the thing: they only went after important individuals with a strong influence over the people like Honest, the Emporer and Prince Numa. Everyone else was fair game."

"Yeah, you're right! He's definitely on to something!" Lubbock said.

"It would also appear that this group knew of the ramifications that would follow by killing them. Without Honest's stranglehold on the Empire, his allies or other less than savory opportunists will most likely try to fill in his position and with Emporer Makoto dead, along with no heir to the throne, there will be a massive power struggle over who will be the new Emporer. The same goes for Numa. The rest of the outlying villages won't even know what to do without proper guidance." Susanoo warned.

'Hopefully my village elder will be able to keep things under control.' Tatsumi said to himself mentally. "That's right. The prince said that these guys were heading east so that means that they will most likely head to an area that's vital to whoever is living there and also has someone that's got a pretty good grip on the populace." He surmised while circling the eastern region of the Empire.

"Kyoroch! That's got to be where they are heading next!" Mine said, snapping her fingers. "That place is a thriving metropolis that's rich in natural resources. If that gets taken out then the whole region's economy would be devastated!"

"And it's also the main headquarters of the Path of Peace." Najenda added.

"The religion that says that by doing good deeds contributes to happiness and longevity?" Chelsea inquired.

"The one and the same." Najenda nodded.

"Hold on a sec, I think they came to my village once! The wooden idol that my elder gave me before I left was from that religion!" Tatsumi said as he pulled out the idol from his person. "Are they with the Revolutionary Army?

"Yup. They used to be the dominant religion in the Empire but when Honest came into power, they high-tailed it out of the Capital and settled down in Kyoroch." Leone answered. "Their leader is only known as, 'The Lord'. From what we've heard, he's a kindhearted man who puts the needs of his subjects before his own."

"That's probably who they're going to target next. Once they are done with Kyoroch, they are going to make a beeline straight towards the south." Tatsumi explained as he drew a straight line to the southern edge of the continent. He then turned towards his friends and game them all a dead serious look.

"And where do you think they will strike next?" He asked rhetorically.

Everyone went pale. Sheer terror gripped their hearts. The temperature around them plunged.

The Revolutionary Army HQ.

Najenda instantly sprang into action. "We need to go, now! Let's head back to the horses and make for Kyoroch! Maybe we can head them off!"

"But what about Esdeath?" Bulat reminded her. "Boss, we can't just let someone like her run free!"

"We've wasted too much time on Esdeath! If we lose the Revolutionary Army, we lose this country!" She shouted. She then bolted out of the room with the rest of Night Raid following after her. Sheele took one last fleeting glance at the prince's body before joining back up with her comrades. His last words about the mysterious group being 'demons' was still stuck in her head. Was he really just horribly traumatized or was it the truth? Either way, she had a bad feeling about this…

KYOROCH- PATH OF PEACE GUARD BARRACKS

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

The guards were suddenly woken out of the sleep as a thundering explosion echoed throughout Kyoroch. They stumbled out of their bunkbeds as dust rained down on top of their heads as another explosion shook the whole city.

KRRRRAAAAKAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

The doors to the barracks were quickly kicked open as the commanding officer entered the room with a frenzied look on his face. "GET YOURSELVES UP AND ARMED RIGHT F***ING NOW! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" He hollered!

"What's happening!? Who's attacking us?!" One of the guards asked frantically.

"We don't know! Some kind of creatures are tearing their way through the city-" The officer never finished his sentence as the front portion of the barracks were suddenly blown open, sending the CO flying across the room! The front wall fell apart, obscuring the room with smoke. As they guards began to help their commanding officer up, they started hearing several heavy footsteps marching towards their position. They all turned to the smoke and could make out 3, human-like shapes advancing over to them but there was something strange about them. They looked too…unnatural.

The last thing the guards saw before they were violently torn asunder were the silhouettes glowing, red eyes.

To be continued…

Phew…this chapter was a hard one folks. The one thing that gave me the most trouble was figuring out the geography for the Empire. I won't lie; it was confusing as hell for me so much that I thought my head was going to explode. I had to refer to images and the manga for a good grasp on what it was but it was still hard for me to get a bead on it so I just winged it. I really hope I got if right but if im not, please let me know in the reviews and I will try to correct it.

Other than that, I did enjoy making Prince Numa's account of what happened as well as adding in references from the episode.

Some of the dialogue was also inspired by the intro scene in Ninja Assassin which I highly recommend. It's a good watch.

What do you guys think of the Lubbock x Najenda bit? I know I kinda pulled that whole fear talk out of nowhere but I think it helped. Any suggestions?

Good news though, there is just one more chapter until the Ultrabots finally make their appearance! Until then, have a Happy New Year everyone!

Don't forget to review but please don't flame.
