Many months have passed since Alan and his group returned to Haris. During the time, Crystal had given them various missions to other worlds. The worlds they've gone to so far were mostly modern, others were fantasy like but they have all been short missions. Alan and Tor were now facing off in the training room.
"You know, I always had a feeling that this would one day happen." Alan said in a serious tone as he summoned his red blade katana.
"Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Going all out against you is something I've been looking forward to." Tor replied in the same tone.
"Blaze on!" He exclaimed as he summons his shield. They have their weapons ready, waiting for the signal.
"Annnd, go!" Akira called starting the match as she and Julie were watching.
Alan and Tor charged toward each other to deliver the first strike. Alan tried to perform a vertical slice at him but Tor dodged right and powered up his fist to land a hit on him. Alan jumped and struck him from above. Tor had his shield up to block his attacks. Alan landed back on the ground and continued the offense while Tor stuck to defense.
"Oh, Tor's doing pretty well but I'm sure Alan can beat him." Akira said.
"Nej, Tor can't lose. His shield and power will overcome him." Julie stated.
"The outcome is unknown at this time." A female monotone voice stated. They turned and saw Crystal who was also watching the fight.
"Hi Crystal, come to watch the match with us?" Akira asked. She shook her head in response.
"Not exactly, but that can wait for now." She answered.
"These two have grown powerful and are equally matched in different strengths." Crystal said observing the two combatants.
"Tor has a defense that can neglect any attacks. However, his shield lacks the means to use for offense. Though, his martial arts and Mjolnir ability makes up for it." Crystal explained.
Alan jumped back to a distance and switched to his pistols and fired them at Tor. Tor unleashed his Aegis Desire barrier to block the bullets.
"Alan on the other hand has swift abilities when it comes to using a sword. His practice with his guns and hand to hand combat have also improved. Despite him rushing into battle, He's also adaptable and learns about his opponent's attacks while fighting." She continued. As the two girls listen to Crystal's descriptions, they were more intrigued about the match.
"And yet, it is still not enough to what they will be facing in time. I can only hope Alan will improve later on." Crystal thought.
Alan attempted rapid slashes at Tor who was blocking his strikes. Tor eventually powered up his fist and punched him. Alan was able block it with his sword but was knocked away by its force. His sword landed a few feet away from him. Tor took this opportunity to ram him with his shield. Alan quickly dodged out of the way and counter attacks with a kick. As it inflicted Tor, he lost balance and fell to the ground. Tor was about to get back on his feet again but he saw that Alan had his pistol pointed at him and his shield arm held down by his leg.
"Well congrats Alan, this match goes to you." Tor smiled knowing that he lost.
"Thanks, though I admit I felt like that last attack was kind of dirty." Alan said as he releases his arm and offers to help him up.
"No, I should have seen it coming. I forgot how fast your reflexes are." Tor replied taking his hand and standing up.
"Thanks for the duel. I enjoyed every moment of it." He said.
"Same here, let's do this again sometime." Alan suggested. Tor chuckled in response.
"Next time." He said eagerly. The two head towards the rest of the group who waiting for them.
"You two were awesome! You were like…" Akira said then started imitating their attacks. Alan and Tor chuckled at her descriptions of the fight.
"Ja, you were both wonderful. Though I know Tor will win next time." Julie said.
"We'll see about that." Alan challenged.
"I admit, your performance was excellent but that's not what I'm here for. We have something important to discuss." Crystal said.
They followed her to a meeting room. On the way, Alan decided to start a small conversation with his partner.
"Akira I was wondering if you ever plan to wear this." Alan said showing her his silver bracelet.
"Well I'm not sure if I would like it being permanently on by body. Besides I've got my Blaze" She answered.
"It's not that. Remember it does more than just store weapons." He explained. Crystal explained to Alan that his bracelet also prevents him from aging and extend his life in order perform his duties as Overseer for a long period of time.
"Oh right, I forgot. You get to live longer than all of us." Akira said sadly.
"I'm sorry, I guess that was too selfish of me." Alan said regretfully.
"No no, I understand. You would be pretty lonely if all of us were gone. How about I wear it when we come back from the next mission." She suggested.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Of course, if it means helping my partner plus I would get a lot more time to see the worlds." Akira said happily.
"I appreciate it." Alan smiled
"And don't be afraid to ask Tor and Julie as well. It never hurts right?" She suggested.
"I'll keep that in mind." He chuckled.
"By the way, does that bracelet have a name?" Akira asked.
"I don't know." He answered than turned to Crystal. "Hey Crystal, what do you call these bracelets?"
"They had no names. Only to be referred to as equipment to serve us in battle." She answered turning slightly to Alan.
"That's no good. Everything should have a name." Akira said then thought for a moment.
"Let's see, it summons weapons or rather it stores weapons. Helping you arm yourself to fight easily. Oh! I got it! How about we call it an ARMS" She suggested.
"ARMS huh, I actually like that name." Alan agreed.
"Very well then. From now on, these equipment will now be called ARMS" Crystal stated.
As their conversation ended, they approached the meeting room and entered. There was a large table in the middle of the room and chairs surrounded it. There was also a little computer device at the end of the table. They all took a seat while Crystal took the chair in front of the computer.
"The past missions I sent you until now were only minor for training. This time, the next world you will be going to will be difficult and it will require all of you." Crystal stated.
"Where will we be going?" Tor asked curiously.
"This next world is a cruel one. It is a lot different from the Earth you're familiar with and it contains dangerous monsters known as Danger Beasts. Many of them have different types only to be referred as classes." She explained.
"Are you sending us to eliminate these Danger Beasts?" Akira asked.
"No, while these creatures are a threat. There's a bigger threat. A superpower government known as the Empire is full of cruel people and corruption. For years they've abused, tortured, enslaved and executed many innocent people and anyone who has opposed them." Crystal continued.
The four were stunned by this info she had given them. Horrified by how such a world was to exist.
"I know I've seen some people do terrible things but damn, this is a whole another level of it." Tor said shockingly.
"I never knew there will people like that. It's just pure evil." Akira said horrified.
"It's unforgivable." Julie said in quiet anger.
"Just tell us what we need to do." Alan said determined and in a serious tone.
"You are to find the source of this corruption and eliminate it. Use whatever means necessary to destroy it." Crystal finished.
"Understood." They replied and nodded. As they were getting up, Crystal had one more thing to add.
"Also keep in mind that in this world you'll go to, you may have to take many lives in order to destroy this corruption. I'm afraid that may be the only option and may be the same for other worlds you may go to in the future." She said.
"Right." Alan said uncomfortably. He remembered taking his first life in his first world. Alan knew that he would experience this again eventually.
The next day, the four got ready and were about to leave. Alan was wearing in a grey jacket, black shirt and dark brown pants. The rest were dressed similar in their first year school uniform with combat style wear.
"You'll want to find the Empire city known as the Capital. It's where you'll find their palace and likely the source of corruption. However, I won't be able to make a portal there. The least I can do is make one far north from the Capital. From there you'll have to find the rest of the way there on your own. I'll do what I can to find more info about the world in the meantime as well as observing your progress." Crystal explained.
"Got it." Alan replied while the other three nodded.
"Good luck and be careful. This world won't be as kind as the previous ones." She said.
"Don't worry, we'll all come back in one piece." Alan assured. Crystal activated the portal and the four stepped through.
"I hope you're right Alan." She said.
The four exited the portal and saw that they were in a forest. They were not able to see an end of it yet. The portal disappeared a few seconds later after they arrived.
"So this is what the world looks likes." Tor said as he looks around the area.
"I wonder what kind of places we get to see?" Akira asked eagerly.
"First, let's try to find the Capital then we can go on a little exploring for you." Alan said.
Akira nodded and began to set out to the Capital until a large beast with long antennae and claws ambushed the group and attacked. They immediately dodged out the way and got their weapons out.
"That must be one of those Danger Beasts." Julie assumed.
"Yeah, I think so too." Alan agreed.
"Alright, let's take it down then!" Tor said.
Akira threw her double bladed scimitar at its arm for a distraction. Then Tor quickly ran towards the beast to deliver a powerful punch against it. It was stunned by the attack and nearly lost balance. Alan and Julie quickly moved in to finish it off.
"Strike them to pieces! Kamisori!" Julie shouted as her twin swords began to glow and were looking incredibly sharp.
Alan and Julie simultaneously jumped and strike at the beast cutting off both its arms and head. The beast falls dead from its decapitation as they landed back on the ground.
"That wasn't so hard." Alan said.
"If we came here a few years earlier, I think we would've been in trouble." Tor said.
"Anyway, let's find the Capital." Akira said.
"Crystal said that we were at the north of the Capital so we'll go south until we find it." Alan said. Akira and Tor nodded agreeing to the plan.
"But which way is south?" Julie asked.
"That's a good question." Alan replied as he has no idea where to go.
"Maybe there's some village nearby for directions." Akira suggested.
"We don't know that for sure." Alan said.
"Do you have any better ideas?" She asked.
He sighed in response. "No, let's find someone for directions."
The four began to leave the area and try to search for the Capital. Little do they know, they are walking towards unwelcoming territory.
Night Raid POV
"My wires been tripped! We have intruders approaching our base!" Lubbock called checking his metal glove.
"How many and where?" Najenda asked while the other five thought same.
"Four! All northeast of the hideout." He responded.
"It's possible we're either dealing with imperial spies or an elite hired group. I want you all to proceed with caution and eliminate the threat!" She ordered.
"Yes, boss!" they replied and left to attack the intruders.
Protectors' POV
"Akira! Admit it, we're totally lost!" Alan exclaimed as they let her lead.
"No we're not! I can feel we're getting somewhere close." She denied.
"Really, because so far we haven't found an end to this damn forest or found a road yet!" He said sarcastically. As the two continued to argue, Tor and Julie could only watch and listen.
"I guess this place is starting to get to them." Tor sighed.
"I have to agree with Akira. We must be getting someplace very soon." Julie said.
"Just be a little more patent okay?" Akira said as she looked around and saw a cliff. She was relieved but also saw a little girl with pink hair with two pigtails and a pink dress holding some kind of sniper rifle aiming at them. Akira gasped and quickly ran toward Alan.
"Alan, get down!" Akira shouted as she tackled him out the way as the bullet fired past them. Tor and Julie jumped out the way. Alan sighed in relief.
"Thanks, Akira." Alan said gratefully. She nodded. Tor got in battle position and activated his Blaze.
"Head off the fang! Aegis Desire!" Tor yelled as he unleashed his barrier guarding the three.
"You think they're with the Empire?" Akira asked as she and Alan got back on their feet.
"That would explain it. They must not want anyone going into the Capital. We must be heading to the right place then." Alan said.
"Let's get ready for a fight then." Julie said. They nodded.
"Blaze on!" Akira/Julie said as they summon their weapons. Alan summoned his two pistols and had them aimed at the incoming assassins running towards them. Julie ran at a fast pace to the sniper.
Night Raid's POV
"Damn, they've got Teigu." Mine muttered as she saw them summon their weapons. One of them had a barrier shielding them. She didn't expect one of them to see her from a long distance.
She saw that the three other Night Raid members were moving towards their targets. She looked back to the targets and saw one of them running towards her. Mine aimed her gun at her and fired. But she dodged out the way and jumped on the trees then eventually towards the cliff.
Mine backed up and saw a short girl with white long hair with bells carrying twin swords with pink marks about to attack her.
"I'm sorry." Sheele apologized as she was attempting to cut her in half with Extase. Truthfully, she didn't want to kill this girl but she couldn't take the risk.
She dodged Sheele's large scissors by jumping up then struck her from above. Mine fired rapidly at the small girl. One of the bullets hit her arm while she tried to block them with one of her swords. She landed back on the ground and gained distance from the two.
"Whoever you are, I cannot let you defeat us. You all must pay for what you've done." The white haired girl said.
"She must have some grudge against Night Raid." Mine thought since people who were close to their targets have been wanting revenge. She aimed her Pumpkin at her again as the girl gets ready to strike again.
Protectors' POV
Alan fired his pistols at one of the assassins. One was a young girl with long raven hair and red eyes with a sword. There were two others. One was large and was wearing grey armor with a cape holding a large spear while the other was a girl with blond hair with catlike ears on her head wearing less clothing.
"I'll handle the big guy!" Tor said to Alan.
"Leave the other girl to me!" Akira added.
"Alright, but be careful." He said
Tor and Akira nodded and went after the two assassins while Alan continued shooting at the black haired girl. She ran fast and dodged as she closes in on him.
"Eliminate." She said as she was about to strike. However, Alan's reflexes were quick enough and switched to his katana and blocked her attack.
Alan was able to push her and attempted to make several strikes. She dodged and attempted to counterattack but Alan also dodge back and gained distance.
"You're quick." She said.
"You're pretty good yourself. Almost wish we weren't enemies. I assume you must be with them?" Alan asked.
"You would be correct. All more reason to eliminate you." She said coldly.
"Same goes for me if I have to." He replied as he readied his sword against her.
"What's your name?" Alan asked.
"I am Akame." She responded.
"My name is Alan Burns and we will stop you." He said.
"I won't allow that." Akame responded.
"She may be even faster than me and something about that sword of hers feels unnatural. I better not let it cut me." Alan thought as he looked briefly at her katana.
Akame rushed towards Alan and prepared for another strike at him.
Tor ran towards the armored assassin and tried to rapidly punch him with his left arm. He was blocking them with his spear until Tor delivered a kick on him. As it slightly inflicted him, he knocked him a few feet back with the back of his spear.
"Not bad! Those punches are pretty hard and that kick too." The armored male said.
"Thanks, but I can do better than that!" Tor smirked as he powers up his fist and attempted to punch him.
"Mjolnir!" He yelled then tried to punch the armored assassin.
Tor's punch forced him back and hit a tree. He got up quickly and readied his weapon again.
"I can tell that punch of yours wasn't normal. Is it part of your Teigu?" The armored male asked.
Tor was confused by that question but shrugged it off.
"Why don't you find out and see!" Tor responded as he ran toward the armored assassin.
"Alright, I will!" He replied.
As Tor was about to attack, he noticed wires around him and saw that they closing in on him. Tor quickly pointed his shield forward and activated his barrier. The wires were pushed back and away from Tor.
A young green haired man with goggles and a green jacket steps outs from the back of tree where the armored assassin was and reveals himself.
"That's an impressive shield you got there. Can't wait learn more about it once we take it from you." He said.
"Good luck with that. I don't go down that easy!" Tor said.
"At least it'll save me the trouble from killing the two cute girls. I hate killing women." The green haired male said.
"This won't be easy, these guys are pretty elite and I have to be careful when using it or else it'll put too much strain on my body." Tor thought.
"Come on! Let's see what that punch and shield of yours can do!" The armored male challenged.
"Okay, I'll show you!" Tor replied then advanced towards the two and was about to deliver another punch.
Akira spins her weapon and strikes at the blond girl multiple times. She keeps her distance from Akira's double bladed scimitar as she waits for her to let her guard down.
"That the best you got!" The blond hair girl mocked then swipes her with her claws.
Akira swung her weapon at her as the blond hair girl dodges back. Akira held her left side where she was hit and noticed that she was bleeding. Akira knew things were not looking good for her.
"I guess now's a good time to use it." Akira whispered to herself. She got on her stance and raised her scimitar up.
"Now fly on! Supina!" She shouted as her weapon glows. Akira swings her weapon down at the blond hair girl. A small blue spinning light flies toward her. The blond hair assassin dodged out of the way as slightly cut her arm.
"That was a little close. I guess that must be your trump card." She said.
Akira continued to swing her scimitar down at her as more blue spinning lights were heading for the blond hair girl. After she dodged the next one, she goes on the offense and strikes her with her claws. Akira was dodging her lion paws as she tried to go counter strike but was unable to.
As Akira got out of attack range, she suddenly felt really tired and got on one knee panting.
"How could I be tired so quickly, I couldn't have used it that much could I? Wait, that's right, my soul suffered permanent damage from when I activated my Blaze too fast after it was destroyed once." Akira thought.
"Already at your limit? I was hoping this would be more fun." The blond haired girl said.
"That must be all it is too you. You take too much joy in killing people! You and the rest of the empire make me sick!" Akira exclaimed.
"Yeah well, there are some bastards I love to take out and… Wait what did you say?" She asked confused at her last statement.
"I said that you take too much-" Akira repeated but the blond assassin cut her off.
"No not that! You said us and the empire? You think we're with the empire?" She asked confused and kind of offended.
"Isn't that why you attacked us? Cause you didn't want us to get to the Capital?" Akira asked.
"You have no idea who we are do you?" She asked.
"Should we? Are you saying you're not with the Empire" Akira asked confused. She admitted that she only knew about the Empire and the Danger Beasts but they didn't know about anything else.
The blond assassin sighed. "Oh no, I think we might have made a mistake." She looked at Alan and Akame continued to clash sword against each other.
"Can you help me stop this fight before they kill each other?" She asked the pink haired Exceed.
"Of course, since there's no reason to fight each other." Akira answered.
Alan performed multiple slashes at Akame but she blocked most of his attacks and received a few cuts by him. Akame then went on the offense and attempted to strike at Alan. Alan also went on the offense to make a hit.
As their blades were about to touch each other, Alan's blade was blocked by Akira's scimitar while Akame was pulled back by the blonde hair girl.
"What are you doing Leone?" Akame asked.
"Akira?" Alan asked confused.
"I think we can hear them out. I don't think they're our enemy." Leone said.
"Alan, they're not with the Empire." Akira assured.
"What? But she admitted she was." Alan retorted.
"You did?" Leone glared at Akame.
"No I didn't. You asked if I was with them. You weren't specific." She stated. Alan facepalmed at this situation they were in.
"Then why did you attack us?" Alan asked Akame.
"You were trespassing in our territory and were assumed as spies or hired. But if you're really against the Empire then we may not have to kill you." She answered.
"What's going on? Why has the fighting stopped?" The green haired male asked as he approached them.
"There's been a misunderstanding Lubbock. They're not from the empire." Leone answered.
"And you just believed them?" Lubbock asked skeptical.
"My senses don't steer me wrong. I can tell they're telling the truth." She replied.
"I have to agree with her." Akame said.
"Can you tell Bulat cease fighting? I have to do the same with Mine." Leone asked.
"I'll do the same with Julie." Alan said.
After that, Alan, Leone and Lubbock went to the others to explain the situation to them.
"WHAT! YOU IDIOTS THOUGHT WE WERE WITH THE EMPIRE?! WHAT KIND OF DUMBASSES ARE YOU?!" The pink haired girl yelled angrily.
"Mine, calm down. They didn't know." The purple haired girl said.
"How could they not know Sheele? They must be some stupid country bumpkins to not know this." Mine said.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Tor asked offended.
"Don't mind her, she's like this to everyone." Leone assured.
"Hmph!" Mine looked away.
"Still they must not be from around here if they don't know about us." Lubbock pointed out.
"Didn't I ordered you to eliminate the intruders?" A female voice said as they saw a woman with short silver hair and purple eyes. She wears an eyepatch on her right eye and a black outfit with a mechanical right arm.
"Boss, their enemy is actually-" Leone was cut off by her.
"Yeah, I know. I heard. Why don't we talk more about this back at our base?" She said.
"Alright." Alan nodded as the rest of the group followed her back to their base.
"So, you and your group were heading for the Capital were you?" She asked after Alan told her where they planning to go.
"Yes, we knew it was somewhere south of here but we lost track of the road on the way. We were trying to find the source of the corruption and destroy it." Alan said.
"That won't be so simple. We already know who it is but it's heavily guarded by its strongest generals and those Teigu you carry won't be enough to stop it." She stated.
"I figured as much. I never did say it would be easy." He said.
"What are Teigu?" Tor asked.
"She's referring to those weapons you have with you!" Mine answered irritated. She couldn't stand their cluelessness.
"They're not Teigu. Their Blazes." Akira answered.
"Blazes?" Bulat asked interested.
"They're a manifestation from a person's soul and formed into a weapon. We all learned how to use one." Tor explained. He would explain to them that they can't do physical damage but deadly intent was exceptional.
"Except for me. I have something called an ARMS. It allows me to store weapons in it and take them out." Alan explained.
"Interesting. I've never heard of anything like that. Where are you all from?" The silver haired woman asked curiously. Alan tries to find a way to explain where they're from without revealing that they were from other worlds.
"About that, we're actually from…" Alan said.
"We're from another world." Julie answered nonchalantly.
"Julie!" Tor panicked.
"Well. Now that that's out of the way." Alan said glaring at Julie but also knew she didn't know better.
"Wait, you mean she's serious?" Lubbock asked surprisingly.
"Come on Alan, they were going to find out eventually. I know it's dangerous to tell them but lying to them won't make it any better." Akira persuaded. Alan sighed in response knowing she had a good point.
"Fine." He said and turned and faced the assassins. "Yes, what Julie said is true. We're actually from another world."
"Another world? What do you mean? Care to explain?" The silver haired woman asked wanting a full detail.
Alan and his group began explaining to them that there were other worlds and about his position. He also explained to them about the Protectors and that their mission was to stop the corrupted empire. The assassins were shocked by this info they just heard. Few were interested while the rest were not convinced.
"Now, that sounds like bullshit! There's no way that can be real! Or for this loser to be some kind of ruler of all worlds!" Mine exclaimed in disbelief pointing at Alan.
"Okay one, we wanted to keep it a secret and two, the Overseer doesn't rule them he saves them from danger." Alan explained.
"Well, I still don't believe your story!" She responded looking away from them.
"This stuff about other worlds sounds really confusing." Sheele said.
"They don't sound crazy and they certainly wouldn't come up with a lie like that. They might be telling the truth." Lubbock said.
"It does explain their powers." Bulat said.
"Plus it explains why they thought we were the Empire not to mention about the way they dress." Leone added while looking at their clothing.
"What are you saying? Are you calling my outfit strange? What about you? You're wearing so little." Akira said flustered.
"It's my style." She answered proudly.
"I believe they may be telling the truth as well." Akame said.
"While it may sound unbelievable, I can see why they would keep this a secret… most of them anyway." The silver haired woman said knowing one of them just gave it out.
"Boss, you can't possibly-" Mine was cut off by her.
"They clearly don't know about us or about the Empire. I can tell they're being straight with us." She said.
"You said you knew about who was behind the corruption. Can you tell us?" Alan asked.
"I suppose since you explained your story. Alright, in the Capital, there's an emperor however he's still a child and the prime minister has been manipulating him and has been in control of the empire. He beheads anyone who opposes him. Many of the citizens there also know this. He's also our primary target." She explained.
Alan and his group already hated this man even so far wanting to end his life. But then got confused when she said their primary target.
"Your primary target?" Tor asked.
"There's a Revolutionary army south of the Capital who wishes to be rid of this corrupted empire. We were small at first but our numbers have been growing with fighters and soldiers defecting to us. There's also a team that carries out assassinations and reconnaissance. And that's us, Night Raid. For now we're taking out any scum that are terrorizing the Capital. When the time comes, we'll use this confusion to kill the prime minister. After that we'll change this country." She finished.
"And everyone would be treated fairly?" Alan concluded.
"Absolutely." She smiled and nodded.
"So you guys are like a group of heroes like us!" Akira said excitedly.
The Night Raid members laughed at her response except for Akame. Akira was confused by it.
"Listen, despite what we do, it doesn't change the fact we're murderers." Leone stated.
"One day, we'll have to atone for our actions." Bulat agreed.
"There's no heroism in that." Sheele said.
"Yes, but we all have our reasons for standing up against the empire and are ready to face consequences." The silver haired woman said.
"Now seeing that you know our location, we wouldn't let you leave. But I'd like make an offer for you." She said. The four were curious.
"How would you like to be members of Night Raid? We already told you what we're into and if you refuse you'll be working in one of our workshops. So what do you say?" She suggested.
"Can we go over this for a minute?" Alan requested. She nodded. Alan turned to his friends.
"What do you three think? We would be completing our mission but we would have to be killers to do it. I just want your opinions on this and see what you think." Alan said. The three thought for a moment and Tor was the first to answer.
"I may not like it any more than you do but I don't see any other way in stopping this corruption. If we join forces with them, we may be able to prevent more innocent people from dying and a better chance in taking out the prime minister." He said.
"I have to agree with Tor." Julie said.
"And what about you Akira? Alan asked.
"Crystal did say that we would have to take many lives if we want to destroy this corruption. Plus we're gonna need their help if we want to succeed." She answered. Alan looked back to the boss.
"Alright, we're in." Alan said. The boss smiled in response.
"Good, I welcome you all to Night Raid. I'm Najenda, the leader of the Night Raid. Everyone here calls me boss." She said.
"I'm Alan Burns, Overseer and founder of the Protectors." He introduced also smiled.
"I'm Tor Kokonoe." He said.
"I'm Julie Sigtuna. It's a pleasure to meet you all." She introduced and bowed.
"I'm Akira Yuuki." She said happily.
"Nice to meet you all. I'm Leone, The short one over there is Mine." She introduced.
"Hey!"
"And that's Sheele." Leone continued.
"It's nice to meet you." Sheele smiled sweetly.
"This pervert is Lubbock." Leone said.
"I'm not a pervert! I'm just curious about women!" He protested.
"Which makes you a pervert." She stated.
"And I'm Bulat. I look forward in working with you." The muscular man introduced. Alan and Tor nodded.
"He's gay by the way." Leone added. They were caught back by this info.
"Hey, don't give them the wrong idea… yet." Bulat said with blush on his face.
"I'm already getting the wrong idea!" Tor thought.
"Just when I finally forgot that day!" Alan thought.
"And last but not least is this cute girl Akame." Leone said.
"Let us take lives together one day." She said in monotone. Though she was mostly referring to Danger Beasts for meat.
"Now that introductions are over with, Akame will show you around the base and your quarters. I'll think of who will train each of you soon." Najenda said.
"Thank you, boss." Alan said.
"You're all dismissed." She stated.
Alan and his Protectors now became part of Night Raid and started to settle in and in the next day, start their training against the Empire.
Omake
The Overseer Bed
Alan and Crystal were in the Overseer bedroom. The bed was very comfortable and easy to fall asleep on. They were currently observing the bed.
"You know the first time I used this bed, I was surprised by how soft it is. I never imagined a bed like this existed." Alan said.
"We needed you with a clear head at times and well rested. We found it's design decades ago during our search in the worlds to improve Haris." Crystal said.
"You slept in this bed too once didn't you." He said. Crystal nodded.
"But wait, where do you sleep now? I've never really seen you sleep before." Alan asked.
"In the same bed as you." She answered.
"What?!" Alan asked shockingly.
"I was only kidding." Crystal said in monotone. Alan sighed in relief.
"Oh, that's good. You actually joking." He said then realized something. "WAIT? You actually made a joke?!"
"Did you saw me as humorless?" Crystal asked.
"Well yeah. I didn't think you would." Alan answered shockingly.
"You have a lot more to learn about me then you think." She stated.
"I guess you're right maybe I shouldn't judge that easily. I have to be more careful from now on." Alan said as he still trying to convince himself about Crystal's personality.
"Perhaps I've been around with Akira for too long." Crystal thought sweatdropped.
