A.N - Thank you everyone 2,000 views now and climbing. Now I have a question who do people want to die, I like pretty much all the characters and I am struggling on deciding on who to die. Maybe some of you can help me out.
Chapter 5
Leone and Tatsumi were tasked with killing a man who drugs women and turns them into prostitutes.
"Right let's sneak in" Leone said as she transformed, she got cat ears, and tail. As well as giant paw like hands.
"Hope you can keep up" Tatsumi said as he was engulfed in fire, his armor appeared shortly after. He launched himself across the roof, he didn't fly as it could grab attention and also he wanted to see if in the form he was faster than Leone.
"Ha you can talk the talk but I am gaining on you" Leone said as she got closer and closer.
They reached the roof of their target without incident. What they saw sicken Tatsumi to his core, he saw tens of women all lying in a room with an big incense pot in the centre releasing a purple fume.
"So this is what they do to the women" Tatsumi said quietly.
Then their target walked in wearing a white suite with a black shirt and red tie. He said to the women "Hey ladies you going to work on your backs for me, if you do I will get you more drugs.
They all collectively said "Yes" happily.
The target noticed one of the girls lying down laughing to herself.
"This one has reached it, we should get rid of her" he said, his henchmen moved forward as she got up to grab him saying "I'm goo.." As the henchman brought his fist into her stomach saying "Get off you whore".
Leone and Tatsumi instantly growled in anger.
"Now it's personal" Leone said quietly.
"You knew her?" Tatsumi asked.
Leone nodded.
"Then let's send those assholes to hell" Tatsumi said as him and Leone moved into position.
All the thugs and the target sat at a table drinking and touching women who are too drugged up to know what's going on.
"Right I think boss that we should expand our territory" one of the thugs said.
"Yes we should, we'll go see our supplier tomorrow" the boss said just before Leone and Tatsumi burst through the roof both saying at once "There is only one place you are going and that's hell." Tatsumi dealt with the first wave of bodyguards, slicing through them with ease and leaving semi burnt corpses behind him. Leone just smacked each one of the foolish guards running towards her into the walls, each one landing with a snap signifying the breaking of their spines.
The henchmen who hit the women lifted his gun only to have a flaming swords cut it in half and slice him into two.
Leone grabbed the target by the throat. "Please, I will give you what you want. Money? Drugs?"
"No I want your life" Leone said as she smashed her fist into him with such force it ruptured every organ in his body before even touched the wall leaving a bloody smear over it.
Leone and Tatsumi walked out heading back to base.
"I wonder what's going to happen to those women" Tatsumi asked.
"Well I know a old doctor back in the slums, he's retired now but he likes young women so I am sure I can get him to help them" Leone said
"You know none of you Night Raid members are terrifying, you are all soft" Tatsumi said smiling.
"I am only doing this because I know one of them" Leone said.
"Doesn't matter, because of you those women now have hope" Tatsumi said still grinning from ear to ear.
"You really are cute" Leone said as she walked towards him and licked him.
"Ahh what the hell?" Tatsumi said as he jumped back.
"I am marking you literally" Leone said smiling, "If you grow up to be handsome then you are mine"
"Hmm I wonder how Sheele and Mine are doing?" Tatsumi asked out loud.
"Master I sense that living relic again, if I am right it is heading for the same path Mine and Sheele are taking." Deagora said in a panic.
Tatsumi instantly called upon the armor, he emerged from the fires preparing to fly into the sky.
"Tatsumi what's wrong?" Leone asked.
"I have a bad feeling that Mine and Sheele are in trouble, go back to base and bring help I will fly over to them" with that Tatsumi launched into the sky moving at speed the Leone couldn't keep up even if she wanted to.
Little earlier.
Mine and Sheele are returning from their mission.
"Well that was a bit more awkward than I expected." Mine said as she and Sheele ran through the parks heading for the outskirts.
"It was, I wonder how Tatsumi and Leone faired?" Sheele said just before a women landed in front of them wearing the guard armor and a giant monster of a dog creature.
"I knew if I waited here, I'll find the filth of the Night Raid here" Seryu said. "Corro kill them" The dog monster launched itself at Sheele who acted quickly and sliced across it's face.
"Gotta try harder than that" Seryu said as Corro begun to heal itself. Mine aimed pumpkin at Corro and unleashed a volley of shots across it's chest.
"Damn it, where is it's core" Mine said as she kept firing as Corro grew two arms, Mine kept it distracted but she was growing tired.
"Never mind a relic still needs a user so the best way to deal with it is to kill you" Sheele said as she surged forward towards Seryu. She chased Seryu into the forest where she sliced of both of Seryu's arms with easy.
"She gave up her arms" Sheele said confused of why, only to see Seryu to have body modifications, with her arms missing two guns appeared.
"Justice never loses!" Seryu said fanatically as she fired only to see Sheele block the two shots with ease.
"Corro BERZERKER mode!" Seryu said, Corro's eyes went red as his skin darkened and with a terrifying roar it grabbed Mine and begun to slowly crush her. Sheele reacted quickly to Server Corro's arm holding Mine, Only for the sounds of an explosion next to her throw to the side and a gunshot as a bullet burst through her collar bone.
In the air.
"Are you sure it's Seryu?" Tatsumi asked
"Positive" Deagora responded just before the sounds of Mine's pumpkin filled the air.
"That's pumpkin, better hurry" Tatsumi said as he pushed himself faster. He began to hear the sounds of an animal roar and then two gunshots. When he came into view of Mine and Sheele. He saw Corro crushing Mine, he begun to call forth flames, when he saw Sheele slice it's arm of but then Seryu was taking aim, so before she shot at Sheele, Tatsumi threw a ball of fire to the side of her, the explosion pushed her to the left next to the prone Mine but the bullet still hit her, Tatsumi just hoped it wasn't fatal.
Corro saw that both of the girls were down decided to finish them off quickly as it launched itself forward mouth wide open planning to devour both of them.
"Get away from them you mutt" Tatsumi roared as he twirled in air pulling a weapon out of the flames. He wasn't concentrating on what weapon to use he just needed one. Deagora decided that a warhammer would be the best weapon for a beast this sized. When Tatsumi smashed the hammer into Corro's face it knocked the monster quite far back it flew passed Seryu who jumped back in shock to see a red armoured figure with wings and fires dancing around him.
"You were the one to kill Commander Orge" Seryu said with venom in her voice.
"Oh shit I've already pissed her off" Tatsumi thought.
Mine looked up weakly to see Tatsumi standing in front of her, he turned to them.
"Sit tight I'll get you two out of here" He said as he turned his attention to Corro who was charging him.
"Best thing about fire is that it hits everything!" Tatsumi said as he raised his now empty left hand and a jet of flame hit Corro pushing it back and burning it.
This constant supply of fire was draining Tatsumi, he felt shattered in seconds, when he had even worse news.
"Master there is another relic wielder coming" Deagora said as two gust of winds blew Tatsumi back.
"Ah lieutenant Morvin" Seryu said in relief as a robed balled man walked forward carrying a spear with made from a dark metal and had three feather looking items merged onto the end.
"Officer Seryu leave him to me, Corro can eat the girls there"
Tatsumi knew he couldn't fight both of them and Sheele nor Mine were in any state to fight.
"DEAGORA PRIMA" Tatsumi said waving his left arm as the metal dragon jumped out of his shoulder plate.
"Protect them" he said as he and the lieutenant engaged in combat. Corro charged the dragon only to have it's eyes burnt out, then Prima jumped onto its shoulder where it dug into it.
"Impossible, it know's where the core is" Seryu said in despair.
However the fight between Tatsumi and Morvin wasn't going so well. Morvin was faster and far more skilled. Tatsumi was barely able to parry. He had his two short swords but he couldn't get the advantage in the slightest.
"Deagora how good is your healing flames?" Tatsumi asked.
"I can keep you alive for a short period of time after you have sustained a fatal wound depending where it is."
"How about the…" Tatsumi couldn't finish as Morvin stabbed the spear through Tatsumi's stomach, He fell to his knees. Movin went to one knee "You were a worthy opponent but the clear winner is…" Morvin didn't get a chance to finish as Tatsumi summon his blades again and sliced off Morvin's arms and then looked him in the eye before he took his head off. Tatsumi then pulled the spear out, luckily it wasn't pushed all the way through him. Mine and Sheele screamed No when they saw the spear stab Tatsumi. He turned and ran towards them he grabbed the girls, he placed the spear onto his back where a small hook popped out to hold it. He held Sheele and Mine both in one arm.
"Return" he shouted as Prima jumped back into his arm. He surged into the air flying away from the wounded officer and the beheaded one.
Night Raid HQ
Leone just got back in a rush she was shattered, she shouted "Something is wrong Tatsumi just rushed off to Mine and Sheele"
Leone got Bulat, Akame and Kurome rushed out to see Tatsumi carry a wounded Mine and Sheele as he descended in front of them.
"Oh god Sheele, Mine" Leone said as she took Sheele of Tatsumi. Akame and Kurome took Mine who barely had enough strength to say one sentence.
"Help Tatsumi" She said as she lifted her arm and gestured to Tatsumi before she passed out.
"Tatsumi?!" Bulat said as he turned to see Tatsumi's armor vanish and a massive gut wound was shown, Tatsumi begun to go dizzy as his vision went black, he saw darkness circle at the base of his eyes. He saw Incrusio envelop Bulat and charge him.
"We have to get him back" Bulat said.
Leone just placed Sheele on the operating table and Lubb is already cleaning up the wound, he is muttering to himself. "Lucky, lucky"
"The bullet went straight through, a clean shot" Lubb said.
Then Bulat charged in carrying Tatsumi.
"Lubb you got to help" as he places him onto another table.
"Bulat if I don't finish Sheele, she'll bleed out and I don't think I can save him" Lubb said this last part with pure regret in his voice. Bulat begun to cry, Akame and Kurome handed Mine over to the boss who begun to clean Mine up.
"H...he..help her" Tatsumi said weakly.
Lubbock turned to continue work on Sheele.
"What is the ring doing?" Kurome asked as the dragon in the stone was thrashing about it was roaring at Tatsumi.
"Master say DEAGORA AXIOS" Deagora pleaded in Tatsumi's mind. He swam in his stone shaking.
"De...de...deagora….axios" Tatsumi said weakly. Upon hearing those words the ink dragon inside the stone jumped out of it and landed onto Tatsumi's skin but it passed through it, as if it was water, it created ripples in it. Everyone looked at it in awe. The ink dragon then slid towards the open wound, as it got closer it opened it's mouth and inky flames appeared. As it was virtually on top of the wound the dragon began to maul it. With every bite the wound started to seal up. It just kept going over and over again until the wound was completely sealed. The ink dragon swam a little bit away from the freshly healed wound and a white ink dragon appeared as a scar where the wound was.
The ink dragon then return to the ring where the stone let off a small glow. When it happened Tatsumi took a deep gasp of breath before he passed out. Leone put her ear onto his chest.
"He has a heartbeat" She said happily
Everyone cheered.
"That relic, how powerful is it" The boss asked herself quietly. "It could rival Budo and Esdeath" she said with a smile.
A.N - axios is latin for 'I am worthy' if my sources are correct so that literally means Tatsumi said "Deagora I am worthy" the relevance of this will be explained in the following chapters. Thank you everyone for reading, but can people help me decide on which characters should die.
