Chapter 33: Killing the Sister Part 2

In the forest, Najenda, Susanoo, Erza, and Lucy were at a open area surrounded by trees.

"Is where we're suppose to meet these people?" Lucy asked.

Just then a footsteps were heard from ahead another dirt trail lead on the other side. "They're here." Najenda whispered.

Curly red haired man with two other people wearing hooded robes. "I'm Cody, a man from one the villages that Bols a member of the Jaegers destroyed." Erza and Lucy gasped.

"I'm sure you want revenge on Bols, correct?" Najenda asked.

Hearing that only made Erza and Lucy gasped even more with horror.

One of the other hood strangers pulled back their hoods revealing a young dark blue haired with two pig tails that went straight to her mid back, the girl had a darkened face. "Yes, my name is Vicky, that mask bastard burned down a village I lived in, my parents, my little sister, all of my friends gone." She took out a picture of her and her family with smiles on their faces.

"That's right..." Another stranger pulled back their hoody and revealed to be a young man with browned spiky hair. "My name is Andre, Bols killed my mother in another village along with friends of hers." The man clenched his hands. "I wanted to kill that man but we found he escaped while his family left, but there's no doubt he went to back the Empire, I can't think of anywhere else he'd go to, once we find we will kill him but not before we torture him..."

Lucy abruptly shouted. "Stop it!" Everyone looked at the blonde girl. "Look, I know Bols is an enemy but he's really a nice man..." The man gasped in realization. "Its you, Lucy, you and your friends are the reason that man is still alive!"

Erza knew things were about to get ugly so she raised her hand. "Listen, my friends had a reason for saving him..."

Najenda clapped her hands together getting everyone's attention. "Enough, listen I know you three are angry at Bols for his actions so I won't go against that but listen to what Lucy has to say..." The man gritted his teeth but had to listen so he and the two others looked at Lucy as the girl took a deep breath. "Listen, I know what Bols did and his actions can't be washed away, but he does feel terrible for what he did, believe me I can see it in his eyes, I know he wore a mask, but he told me and some of my friends he would accept his fate, but he truly feels terrible for what he did."

Andre just scoffed. "You expect us to believe that load of crap?" Lucy glared at the man. "I don't care if you believe me or my friends, but its the truth, Bols is nice, but like I said I know what he did can't be erased but, give him a chance to atone for his sins."

The three teenagers turned away and went to behind a few trees and began to whisper until they reappeared from the trees. "Three of us shall, decide and talk later to Najenda about this at your base, but no interference if Bols is sentence to death."

Lucy was about to say something until Erza put her arm out. "Alright, we understand." Despite that condition she didn't want to accept it but had to.

Najenda could tell this was hard on the two but they had to accept whatever the three decided about Bols' fate.

Meanwhile the battle between Wave and Leon was starting.

Leon punched his fist forward which Wave did the same as their fists collided. "Not bad for a Demon but my Armor is strong..." He then saw the Panther Demon smirking. "Who said I was trying to destroy your Armor..." Wave was confused until he felt his energy being drained which made he kneel down while groaning in pain. "FIST DRAIN." Wave panted heavily. "Damn it, normally I wouldn't be this tired so fast, but it seems my fight against Akame has drained much out of me, not mention this Demon is stronger."

Leon then gave a malicious smile and crossed his arms. "Hate to say it, but such a human like you isn't strong enough to beat me." Wave stood up then leaped up into the air. "GRAND FALL!" He kicked to the ground where demon was but he was gone. "I'm also fast too." Wave gritted his teeth when suddenly stone rocks came flying directly at Wave which dealt some damage on his armor which sent Wave crashing into the wall.

There was Dr Stylish approaching his former teammate. "Very pity a country boy like you isn't strong enough." He winked at him then he turned his attention to Leon. "Let me handle this."

Leon growled but then again the doc does creep him out. "Very well." He dashed away into alleyway.

For Wave would be creeped out like when he and the doctor first met but something was on his mind. "Question, why did you kill Seryu and Koro, but even more so why did you chose to work with Tartaros?"

Dr Stylish smiled maliciously."I admit I was quite shocked to be reborn as a Demon, but this power I felt was even more stronger than I felt when I had Perfector, but right now, also Tartaros has more power than any human in this world, including their Hellscore or other stuff interested me as well, but first off about Seryu, she was nothing more but psycho brat following the footsteps of such a human like Captain Orge, admittedly I did create those weapons for her even those metal arms for her to become stronger, but she was nothing but a waste of time, there's one more thing, I learned that her mentor was getting such bribes from a oil Merchant, cause he would get himself into trouble."

Wave gasped in shock at this but confused. "What the hell you are talking about?" Dr Stylish smiled. "The captain told me one day while he drank some beau's, he would pay the oil merchant in order to make sure that others would take his fall for his crimes, he also mentioned awhile back before he was he killed he framed a man who was suppose to be married but sadly the man was sentenced to death while his future wife was left all alone."

Wave was very horrified at this revelation. "Captain Ogre was framing people with the help of an oil merchant just so he can save his own life." Remembering something that Akame said to him. "Do you have any idea what Empire did to keep those that opposed their policies?"

This information was making Wave feel more horrified. "Was this what Akame also talking about, does Empire do anything to keep others shut about such things to save themselves?"

Dr Stylish cleared his throat. "Anyway working Tartaros has been such a treat learning about their technology, everything they have, that's when I invented new Imperial Arms superior to my Perfector." He then put the gloves back in his coat's pocket. "However I won't reveal their power just yet instead..." He began to grow taller and his body soon beginning to change to dark rock solid from head to his legs which were merging with the ground until he was taller than other building including the palace.

"ETHERIOUS FORM: GIANT SOLID STONE MODE!" He proclaimed with both arms raised in the air he looked down directly at Wave who seemed surprised. "What the hell..."

The Doctor let out a monstrous roar. "Struggle if you like country boy, but in moments you'll be crushed like a insect!" He motioned his giant stone hand into fist then moved forward straight to his former teammate but Wave collided his sword with the doctor's fist but the attack was too powerful that the young country man was sent down causing the man crashing into the ground.

Makoto from inside the throne heard that noise. "What was that?" Minister Honest was a bit nervous. "It seems that more trouble happening, no matter nothing than the soldiers can deal with."

Wave struggled to get on his feet but was breathing heavily with more of his armor already beginning to breaking apart. "Damn it, if I take another attack my armor will deactivate and I will be even more vulnerable."

Dr Stylish smiled maliciously at this. "Still standing but barely, one more attack and your armor is done leaving you unprotected. " Wave had to admit that was true even he did find another way to avoid attack he doesn't know what else Dr Stylish can do. "Killing you will be fun not to mention if Kurome finds out she'll feel so lonely until she dies of heart break." He turned his other his hand into a fist and prepared for another attack.

"IRON SHADOW DRAGON'S ROAR!" A breath attack was soon fired right into the scientist's face. "What the hell?!" Gajeel appeared in his Iron Shadow Dragon form with Lily and Levy behind him but Akame was no where to be seen.

"SOLID SCRIPT: FIRE!" Levy wrote the word fire in mid-air and flames were sent directly at the mad scientist's face.

Lily slashed the doctor's chest with his sword but did only little damage.

Wave saw his chance and retreated back to the Empire but as he did he felt greatly frustrated. "Damn it, those guys are so strong, even with my Imperial Arms I wasn't strong enough to beat a Demon." He hissed in pain from the damage he took.

Dr Stylish smirked but had another ideas as he reverted back to his original form and threw down a smokescreen bomb. "Let's finish this later, tomorrow." He climbed one of the nearby buildings and glide away into the air.

"Let's return to the base." Gajeel commanded as his friends nodded.

Meanwhile Wave arrived at the Empire's entrance.

Kurome was looking down at him. "Are you alright?" The country man looked to see his teammate safe and sound. "I could ask you the same thing."

The girl lowered her head in sadness. "Yes, however Kylie and his team were killed by the Demons, Akame was supposedly be the one I assume, but it looks like the Demons found us." She remembered she tried to attack Fang but couldn't due to his Neo-bomb Curse. "I also learned that rebel tribes penetrated the palace's defenses, apparently it was some survivors from the northern tribes."

Suddenly Kurome lift off Wave's shirt which surprised him greatly. "What's the big idea?" She observed his body seeing wounds. "Some of your armor has been coated in poison, not mention those Demons Dr Stylish and Leon did a number on you, so be careful."

Wave sighed. "I do have my Armor, so I should be fine." But that was a lie, he felt frustrated inside remembering the times he fought against the Demons and wizards couldn't even defeat one of them.

Kurome sighed. "I suppose so, anyway, just get some rest before the final battle." Wave decided to speak. "Kurome, is Akame going to be on your finally killing list?"

Kurome smiled innocent before it got malicous. "Of course, I want to kill her but if I should get be killed its fine, but either way which way is fine."

Hearing such stuff like that from Akame was one thing but hearing that from Kurome was making Wave feel more uneasy than ever. "This is bullshit, how can those two be so fine with killing each other?" Kurome noticed her friend was very troubled. "Something wrong?"

That wasn't the only thing bothering Wave. "Not only that Dr Stylish states that Seryu's mentor Captain Ogre was taken bribes from an oil merchant to put the blame on others to save his own life."

At Night Raid's base, every single member was having a meeting.

Najenda had everyone meet in the dining having a early dinner, after eating and to make a statement. "Shadow Movement was destroyed, but by the Demons of Tartaros." Everyone gasped expect for Akame who seemed a bit sad. "Akame was once part of that group once. Hearing that made everyone gasp knowing that must've felt hard for Akame seeing her former teammates being killed right in front of her. "We also received word that the former Prime Minister will be here a half hour, so Gajeel, Mine, Tatsumi, Levy, Pantherlily, you guys will escort them to the nearby encampment safely."

The five nodded.

Akame was stretching out her body looking very relaxed as Leone giggled. "I see you like the exrotic massage I gave you." Everyone gasped while some screaming in embarrassment as Akame punched the blonde girl in the face. "Don't say that in front everyone here!"

Taran was bit embarrassed about this. "To think that woman says stuff like that." Leone was puzzled as a few question marks appeared above her head. "What's wrong, I just accidently grabbed you in the wrong place which you liked." Akame punched the blond woman in the face again making her fall on her back again.

Lubbock felt jealous that he pulled his hair back while tilting his head back. "Damn it, that's not fair!" Erza was speechless but her face was red.

Tatsumi sighed. "No need to inform us more."

Elfman had his hands on his face completely flabbergasted. "That's so not manly!"

Lisanna facepalmed. "Oh brother."

Mira's face was red and she had her hand in front of her mouth "Oh my."

Wendy and Lucy's face went red as tomato as steam appeared from their heads.

Natsu felt a bit creeped out. "This chick is nuts."

Carla huffed. "The mouth of this young lady."

Gajeel just scoffed. "Can this chick be more of big mouth."

Levy put her hands in front of her mouth. "How embarrassing this is."

Gray shivered. "So creepy!"

Najenda cleared her throat. "Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Erza, you four shall meet Kelly and Monica trail to the west then escort them here."

Natsu grinned. "That's cool, glad they're alright!"

Happy flew up happily. "Aye!"

Lucy was relieved herself too. "I see, they're alive and well."

Wendy shared the same feeling. "That's good to know."

Najenda then looked towards Akame. "Akame, I will allow you to fight Kurome, kill her if you must." Hearing that made most of the wizards feel sad. "If you're ok, then you can bring the others that don't have missions now, as for me I will be here with Susanoo, Lubbock, and Leone, we will waiting here for three people from the Revolutionary army."

Late at night Akame was sitting on a hill looking a bit nervous but also had another thought on her mind. "Wendy has such magic to cure Kurome, even so my sister won't listen to me nor will leave the Empire if that happens then I will have to kill her." Just then Gray approached her. "Shouldn't you be resting?" She realize Gray was in his boxers making her face red before turning her head away. "Your clothes!"

Gray gasped in surprise. "Crap!" But he shook his head. "Never mind that, I wanted to talk about something, which is about Kurome." Hearing that made Akame raise an eyebrow. "From what you said before, it seems like Kurome's heart is not only being wrapped, but also left in despair and sadness, think about it, when she had her comrades like Natala and others with her she was happy, when she reunited with you, it made her even more happy."

Akame had to agree with that. "Yes, we spend more time with each other to make up for the time we've been apart." Gray then stood by the girl's side. "Listen, losing a friend or a family is sad, but killing each other isn't right, its just wrong, I mean I couldn't bring myself to kill my own father even if he was being controlled by Keyes and depsite the people he killed." His eyes started to form tears at the memory of his father and stating that he couldn't bring himself to kill to him.

Hearing that made Akame feel sorry for the man but sighed. "I wish it was that easy, maybe things are a little easier in Earthland than I thought." She then took Gray's hand which surprised him. "I do appreciate your concern about my feelings, somehow I wish people in our world will like you and your friends from Fairy Tail...no from Earthland, then our world wouldn't be as bad as it is now."

Gray smiled at her as Akame removed her hand from his. "Anyway, tomorrow my battle against Kurome will be tough." Gray had a request. "I want come along."

"We do too." Behind them was Lisanna, Elfman, and Mirajane.

Wendy approached with Carla in her arms. "Count us in too, besides if anyone of you gets hurt, I'll heal you."

Akame shook her head. "No, this is between us sisters."

Elfman decided to speak. "That's true, it is your problem, but we are your friends, we help each other out."

"He's right, no matter what is going between you and your sister, we stick together." Lisanna agreed.

"Also, who knows if the other Demons or this Wave guy will show up." Mirajane added.

Taran also approached them. "Yes, I maybe have the disease, but that won't stop me now, I mean Fairy Tail has such beliefs, a belief that other dark guilds didn't have nor does this Empire, so I will keeping fighting."

Gray had to say something too. "They're right, also there might be chance that Kurome might bring someone else besides her puppets, so if someone were follow her or if the Demons show up, we shall eliminate them and fulfill your wish."

Akame just stared for a moment but then gave them a small smile. "Very well." The others smiled at the girl's acceptance.

As night finally came Kurome was preparing for the fight, putting on her coat, and grabbed Yatsufusa as she opened the door to her surprise was Wave standing in her way seeing the look on his face. "Wave, what are you doing?"

The look on his face showed he wasn't so pleased. "You know why I'm here, you're going to meet up with Akame, right?"

Kurome scoffed as she looked away. "Yeah, and what's it to you, this between me and her."

Wave clenched his hands. "Before we go further I have a question, why did you control Natala, and other people with Yatsufusa?" Kurome had that answer. "So that we could be together, if I can kill my sister, I will turn her into my puppets as well until the day I die then we can truly be together."

"But if that's the case then why didn't you do that to Run?" Wave asked.

Hearing that made Kurome quiet. "I don't know, I normally would but..." She then remembered the words from the three take Over Siblings.

"Using the deceased especially those that were your friends to do your dirty work isn't right." Lisanna's stated.

"Its sad when we lose friends or a family member, but someone told me those that pass on will live in our hearts as long as we can remember them." Elfman added.

Mira had her eyes shut closed. "We understand your reasons of leaving the Empire, however when Akame told us you wanted to Natala to stay by your side, I think what you really mean is that you won't move forward whenever those are you close to you die."

Kurome shook her head. "I don't know, but that doesn't matter, I will fight my sister or die trying!" Wave gritted his teeth and didn't move an inch. "I won't let you leave, we're teammates are we, that's a reason to stop you, if you leave I'll report to the commander or we both can leave together!"

Kurome did understand why Wave felt about this but she made up her mind. "Wave..." She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him, This action caught him by surprise for only a moment which gave Kurome time to punch him in the stomach causing the young man to break the kiss making him fall to the floor. "I'm sorry, if you really are my teammate then you will let me go." She left him to only to stare at her mumbling some her name before he fainted. "Kurome..."

In Earthland four strange figures wearing cloaks were walking through a mountain trail.

One was wearing a plaster mask, blue dress, blue pants, blue shorts, high heel knee boots, and a red cape with hood over the head who stopped for a moment before continuing walking ahead with the three walking behind. "Heh, heh, looks like we're on the right trail, its time for us to get our comrades back."
