I woke up to the sound of battle throughout the halls. As i got up. My door was broken down by some human looking thing. It was on all fours i stabbed it through the head as it lunged at me.
"What are these things?" i asked. But then i realized. It probably wasn't alone. I ran out trying to find my teammates. And i did. I encountered lubbock running into me. And saw him being by a legion of the freaks. As one leaped at me. It was sliced in half by none other than akame.
"Good to see you awake auron." akame said with a smile. I nodded.
"Stay behind us lubbock." i said.
"Yeah. i can do that." lubbock said as he booked it. Me and akame than dealt with these creatures.
"What are these things?" i asked.
"Most likely. The experiments of . He's attacking us." akame said.
"The crazy doctor who think's his circus freaks are beautiful?" i asked. Akame nodded. And soon we encountered another freak with weapons coming out of everywhere.
"So. you're the infamous white wing? The one who nearly killed general esdeath. I was hoping to get you while you're unconscious." the freak said.
"Sorry. You attacked too late. And should know if I'm capable of killing that animal you call a general. Then you should how this will end." i said.
"True. but that won't stop me from trying. I'm dead either way. So might as well go out against an opponent like the white wing." he said. He charged at me. But it was over rather quickly.
"Rest in peace." i said. As the freak lied on the floor in pieces. Despite most of his body being mechanical. Guess i got stronger after that form awakened. I'm no longer restrained. Me akame and lubbock made it outside and found everyone.
"So do you know where stylish is?" i asked.
"Over there no doubt…the guy reeks of insanity." falix said. We were hit by gas. It was weakening everyone but me and falix.
"W-what!?" one of the freaks yelled. Me and falix quickly dispatched them.
"Let's go." falix said. I nodded and headed to where stylish was. And once we reached him. We saw a huge beast. It devoured two other people. A girl with big ears tried to run away. I know she's an enemy. But I can't just stand back and be eaten by him.i quickly grabbed her. And jumped away.
"Get back here with my nutrients!" the beast which i'm guessing is a mutated dr stylish. But i quickly retreated.
"Why are you helping me?" the girl asked.
"Was any of this your choice to make?" i asked. The look in her eyes told me all i needed to know. None of this was her choice. A giant danger beast flew around. I saw najenda alongside Giselle and the two new recruits. A guy with blue hair. And someone hooded. The new guy. Alongside tatsumi and bulat fought stylish. As soon as I returned to everyone. Mine put the barrel of pumpkin to the girls head. I grabbed the barrel and shook my head.
"No. i have a better idea." i said. I put my hand on the girl's head. "Rescue." i said. White lines soon went down the girls body and in a flash of light. What was once a girl with big ears. Was now a little girl with green hair. Probably around seven or eight.
"A kid?" falix asked.
"Yeah…tatsumi told me that stylish experimented on death row inmates for a lesser sentence. Apparently even children were on death row…" i said.
"Children…they experimented on children?" spear asked.
"So cruel…" sheele said. As tears went down her eyes. Falix looked at stylish with pure hatred.
"You make me want to puke! YOU UGLY FREAK!" falix yelled loud with pure rage. He transformed into his awakened state. He flew right towards him.
"How dare you! I am beautiful. I create beauty and style!" dr stylish yelled.
"And i thought seryu had no grip on reality. But you take the cake for the most delusional scumbag in the empire. What you've created is not beautiful. It's not stylish. It's a freak show. Anybody sane would see it that way. Sheele and spear are beautiful. That danger beast body of yours…is so ugly that I wanna puke." falix said. Stylish screamed with rage. And tried to punch falix. But falix blew his hand up with a swing of his sword. A massive amount of dark energy came from falix's sword. Causing to be long enough to cut stylish in half. Which falix did.
"What's up doc?" falix asked. As he got to where stylish was. And ripped him off the danger beast body. Stylish screamed in pain as he did. Once stylish was off. Falix threw him across. Stylish tried to crawl away.
"I can't die like this…so many more experiments i have to do!" he yelled. Falix walked towards him slowly. Like he was the grim reaper coming for him.
"This is where your hideous experiments end doc. No more people will be your lab rats. Including children! How you can do that to kids without any shame goes to show that you are truly unworthy of life! An disgusting existence that needs to be sent back to hell where it was first created!" falix yelled.
"So much power…so much style…the things i could have done with that power of yours fueling my experiment…but alas i was only to give that power to one seryu ubiquitous." stylish said, falix's eyes widened.
"Start talking doc. Or this will get alot more painful." falix said.
"That girl is quite stubborn. Even after what you did to her. She was still alive. But what was coming from the corpses where much more interesting. Dark flames that continued to burn…so i gathered them up. After a bit of research. I saw the incredible power that those flames had. Truly. The power of a fallen angel. I infused seryu with that power. The results were incredible. Not only did it completely revitalize her. But the power she gained. Was incredible….she seeks you…she sees you as the ultimate evil….she will not stop until your dead." stylish said. As he coughed up blood.
"Sounds about right…whatever power she gained. It won't matter. I'll finish what i started. And put her down like the rabid dog she is. But first…" falix said. He than raised his foot high. And stomped right onto dr stylish's head. Reducing it to a bloody pulp. Falix than reverted back.
"...remind me to never piss falix off." gin asked tsukushi.
"Same to you." tsukushi replied. The hooded figure lowered their hood. And reveled it to be a girl with long orange hair. Wearing headphones sucking on a lollipop. Najenda than approached us.
"Who is the child?" najenda asked.
"One of dr stylish's victims. Apparently. The empire is willing to experiment on children now." i said.
"Those bastards…" najenda said with anger. "We'll take her to revolutionary village." najenda said.
"That's not happening najenda." falix said. "Me and sheele are going to adopt that kid." falix said. Sheele blushed.
"You want us to be this child's mother and father?" sheele asked.
"Course. Though i don't know good of a dad i'll be. But i know for a face that you'll be a great mother." falix said with a smile.
"We can't do that falix. Consider our position. We're assassins. We can't have a child with us." najenda said.
"Then we'll keep our mouths shut about it…and don't think you can stop me. I'll only follow the orders i choose to follow…and this is one order i'm telling to shove up your ass. Have lubbock do it. He'll enjoy being that close to your ass. I think." falix said with a grin. As he walked away with sheele and his new daughter.
"That bastard. How dare he disrespect the boss like that! I'll–" lubbock began to yell. Only to be stopped by najenda.
"Don't bother lubbock. I can't control him. But it's that rebellious attitude to spit authority in the face. To what he believe is right. It's why the revolutionary army exists." najenda said.
"Actually. Falix isn't the only one adopting a kid tonight…i'm going to do the same with giselle…she lost everything cause of the creature esdeath. And i at least give some back " i said. Najenda sighed.
"I know telling you no won't work. So go ahead. The child is your responsibility." najenda said.
"I'm well aware." i said. Giselle hugged me. And began to cry.
"Thank you. Big brother." giselle said.
"I can't give you back what that monster took from you. But i can at least try to give you a family." i said. As i fought back the tears…no kid should go through what she did…when i see you again esdeath…i'll kill you. I picked up giselle and got on the manta ray. I sighed. "Guess we're down a hideout." i said. I closed my eyes. And let the wind be my white noise.
Imperial palace./wave pov.
"Where did stylish go?" bols asked.
"I don't know. Maybe another brilliant experiment?" seryu asked. That dark eyes of hers creep me out.
"Things are not going well for us. Are they?" kurome asked dead pan.
"What makes you say that?" i asked.
"Well esdeath. Our strongest. Is in a coma. And is out there. So most likely his head will come back." kurome said.
"What!? What makes you think the brilliant would die out there!?" seryu yelled. Her admiration for that creepy doctor worries me.
"Because that thing that nearly killed esdeath is still out there. And if it can put esdeath into a coma. Then what chance do the rest of us have?" kurome asked. As she continued eating her snacks.
"Get away!" esdeath yelled. We ran into her room to find her awake. But breathing heavily.
"Good to see your awake ma'am." run said. But did not get a response. "Ma'am?" run asked.
"What is he?..." esdeath asked. She punched the wall. And we all saw her face. And saw…fear. "No teigu could have given that kind of power! It's impossible!" esdeath yelled. She looked at us. Her fear turning into rage. "New order everyone. I want a trillion gold bounty on that white haired bastard. Want every last soldier. Every last bounty. Every last scum hunting him down! You got that!? " esdeath yelled.
"Yes ma'am!" all of us yelled. We all turned around to leave the room. But i overheard something.
"I'm the general of the empire…i'm the strongest. I fear nothing…not the revolutionary army…not night raid…and some angelic humanoid danger beast!" esdeath yelled…i walked away pretending i didn't hear anything…i remember that village….of innocent people frozen. And i remember that danger beasts word….
"Maybe i'm on the wrong side…" i said. I continued on my way.
