Hope you enjoy it!
"The fool is already making himself comfortable" Sayomi stare at the massive mansion. Dark, ominous clouds hover above the mansion, acting as security if any intruders dare enters, they'll be welcome by the deathly lightning bolts. The vampire begins making her way to the main door and see two guards station in front.
"Hold on, Madam, you aren't allowed in here" one of the guards said, lifting his hand up to signal the woman to stop. Sayomi raise her eyebrow in amusement as she stops in front of the two "Is that so, by whom?" "His Majesty Schnyzel" he answers and the silver-haired vampire sighs "Seems like he forgot to inform you two idiots about me" "You don't have the authority to enter, Madam… I suggest you leave" the other guards said with annoyance in his tone.
Sayomi's pupils sharpen hearing the man answer and tone "You dare speak to me that way" the two suddenly feel a heavy and dense pressure pushing them down. "Ah!" they gasp in pain and fall to their knees, the two quickly find themselves hard to breath and sweat start to roll down their forehead. Sayomi look at them blankly "Know your place, fools" the silver haired state and walks past them to enter the mansion.
"W-what was that?!" the two regain their breather and are about to stand up, until both are suddenly rip into bloody pieces. Arms, legs, head, torso all splatter to the now bloody floor. Sayomi, who stood in the hallway glance behind at the blooded floor with body parts lingering "I always enjoy a bloody sight" She smirk before continuing down the hallway.
Throne Room
Schnyzel sits in his throne, feeling slight anxious after sensing a familiar magic signature a few moments ago 'What could she possible want here?' he thinks to himself. Suddenly, the door is slam open to show Sayomi walking in, holding a severed head of his guards in her right hand.
Ren appears in front of Schnyzel with her sword out in defense "Ren, put your weapon back, you're no match for her" the blonde orders, making the girl nod and sheaths her sword back, then take a stand beside her master. "You seem to make yourself comfortable after I revived you, Schnyzel" Sayomi said, throwing the head away and cross her arms.
"Well, I'm positive you told me to do whatever I want until you needed me" Schnyzel reply calmly though carefully, since one wrong move could cost him his life 'And I don't feel like dying for the second time' he notes mentally. Sayomi creak her neck and look at the blonde "I have taken notice you're targeting Nawin Makasha" she said, and Schnyzel look at her a little surprise, but he keeps it well hidden "Yes, is there a problem?".
"Depends. What is your plan for him exactly, Schnyzel?" Sayomi said in a dark tone, making the blonde take caution "I'm sure you know of my past and how I was killed" "So you want revenge?" "Not exactly, let's just say I want to test this child who is the offspring of the woman who killed me".
Sayomi turns right to look out at the wide window before shooting a glance back at the man "Fine, but let me make one things clear, Schnyzel" she said in a warning tone as pink aura starts emitting around her, making the two tense "If anything happens to Nawin Makasha, I'll come here and kill you, but instead of the quick way like Yao did… I'll make your second death the most painful thing you'll ever experience" suddenly the wall behind Schnyzel explodes, shocking the two.
The blonde was about to reply, but pause when Ren appear in front of Sayomi, with her sword out making him click his teeth 'Fool!'. Sayomi look at the purple haired with amusement and block the incoming down strike with just her index finger, shocking the girl "Do you think a weak girl like you could wound me?" the vampire said and flick Ren in the forehead, sending her barreling across the room and hits the wall.
"If you don't mind me asking, Lady Sayomi… why are you telling me this? Does the Makasha mean something to you?" Schnyzel ask in great curious. Sayomi smirk and place a hand on her waist "I have my own special plan for him already" she replies flicking her hair in front to the side "I'll come by later. Make sure your guards are informed about me, don't want things to get messy again" she smirks and glance at the bloody hallway that is fill with corpses.
Sayomi eyes widen slightly when feeling a familiar energy signature appearing in the town, 'So you came, Nawin-kun' the silver-haired woman smirk and turns to Schnyzel, who seem to have also pick up the signal "Well Schnyzel, I'll let you handle things from here" She said and disappears in a flock of bats.
Schnyzel sighs and turn to Ren "I thought I told you not to attack her" he said with stern in his tone, making the purple-haired girl bow her head "I'm sorry, I thought she was going to attack when she starts releasing her magic" she answers. Schnyzel nod and turns to the pile of corpses "Such a bothersome task" he utters and snaps his fingers.
All the corpses start to glow in green, then all of the guard's body parts start to reattach with one another and after a few minutes past, all of them stand up in respective manner, fully revive and healed. Schnyzel lift his right hand making the guards kneel down to him "I want all of you to resume your positions. Nawin Makasha just appeared in Mathara district… if my estimation is correct he will be here in less than an hour, you all know your part, correct?" "YES, YOUR MAJESTY!" all of them yell then head back to their post.
Schnyzel smirk and look down, his green eyes flash red allowing him to see a chain-up Misako at the basement floor 'You better hurry up, Nawin Makasha or Moka and Akira will lose the thing that they hold most dear'.
Mathara Town
Three black cloak figures can be seen walking through the busy streets. "You won't bel-" one of the man bumps into the group, causing him to stumble back. The middle age man turn and glare at the cloak figure that just bump into him and didn't even apologies "Watch where you're going, asshole!" he shouts and the individual just walk on, passing him, with the other two following behind.
"HEY! I'm not done with you!" the man stumps toward them and grabs the individual on the shoulder, making they turn. His sight is met with blazing red eyes looking at him blankly, devoid of any emotions "Shut up and move along" a soft, deep male voice whisper. The man's pupil shine green and he nods, removing his hand and walk away. His friend looks at him with confusion before following.
The individual turn and continue on his way with the other two following closely behind him. After a few minutes past, the three reach outside the bustling town and spot a large mansion in front of them. It was so big that it looks like it's covering the small town. "Are you three planning on going in there?" a voice question, making the trio turn to see an short old lady looking at them.
"Yes, we have some important business with the owner of this mansion" the leader of the three answers "I see, but I should warn you that people who goes in there never returns" the old lady replies, catching the trio attention. "How so, Miss?" one of the cloak figures ask "Ever since this mansion appear out of nowhere, people from the town starts complaining, since the mansion eclipse the whole place, and that part" the lady turn to the mansion "It used to be a beautiful and lush farm where we grew our crops and vegetables. When the mansion appeared, it completely destroyed all our food supplies. Now the town is in the verge of starvation, also there's been unknown killing going around here and we think it's because of the owner of the mansion".
"Wait, you're saying this mansion just appear out of thin air?!" "Yes, it's hard to believe, but that's correct". The leader glance at the mansion, then turn back to the old lady "Thank you for your warning and don't worry… you and the people won't be suffering any longer" he said, then jumps over the metal fences with the other two. Leaving the slightly confuse woman behind though a swirl of hope start flowing to her heart.
Time Skip
"I wonder why would Schnyzel choose this place?" the individual pulls their hoods down, showing Hana with the others following suit to show Akame and Nawin. "My guess is this place used to be where his experiment was held" Nawin reply, making the two turns to him "It must be near century since mom killed him, so the poor devils must have found this empty land and made it their own".
"Why would they live here instead of the Capital Vesarima, where all the devil society lives?" "Some would like to start their own city or town, plus it's cheaper here compare to the capital. All these devils are different from the Vesarima one's. They don't fight, I'm positive if any of them tries to go back there they will be kicked out and unwelcome" Nawin reply, surprising the two girls "Why?" Hana ask, "Because Devil's from Vesarima are full of pride, they can't stand seeing their own kind living like this even though it's a peaceful time… they want all the devils to be strong, not becoming a 'Peasant' as they call these devils".
"Sounds like the devil society are bunch of ignorant peoples" Akame comment, making the black-haired boy's lips twitch upwards "A lot of them are, but there are a few who aren't like that, such as the royals clans like the Gremory, Phenex's, and the Sitri. Same can be said with the Satan's like Sirzech and Serafall… the problem is the High Council of devils; those old bastards do all of this and can overrule the Satan's if all of them come into terms. They make such stupid rules and still believe in the old way" the girls can see Nawin's eyes flash red before he shake his head and turn back to them, holding a small smile "Anyway, right now saving Misako is our main priority, so let's move" he said making the two nod.
Time Skip: Entrance of the Mansion
The guards spot a cloak figure walking toward them, they look closely, but can't see the person's face, which alerts them and lift their spears up as the individual stop right front of them. "State your business!" one of them yell, but gets no response "We will ask once more or we can do this the hard way" the man said with a smirk.
"Is that so? Well I never like things being too easy" a sudden wind blows past them, making the hood fall back to show Nawin's glowing red eyes. The guards freezes when their eyes meets with the Makasha's "Do me a favor and kill yourselves" their eyes goes dull and shine green "Yes, Master" the two grab their spears tightly and turn toward one another, then runs forward to pierce their necks, killing each other immediately.
Nawin blinks a couple of time, making his eyes turn back to brown. The Makasha slowly and strongly makes his way in and he is greet by hundreds of soldiers dress in light metal armor. Some of them stand in the row, holding a gun that looks like a combine of shotgun and rifle while at the back row holds all the close-range attackers. Nawin stop when seeing this, then take his cloak off to show him wearing his battle attire, which consists of a short-sleeve black light-leather jacket that reach all to way down to his knee, there are two pockets at the top side of the jacket's chest, black shirt underneath with red dragon like symbol embedded on the right of his chest, a fingerless black glove on his right hand and long black cropped trousers that goes along with black buckled boots with red soles.
Nawin take the first step, making all the front row soldiers raise their guns, aiming directly at him. When the soldiers didn't see the Makasha stopping, all of them begin to fire thousands of rounds at seconds. Nawin eyes glow red and dozens of shadow weapons surround him, blocking and deflecting all the bullets as he continues making way toward them in a steady pace.
Nawin suddenly summons a gunblade and now runs toward the soldiers. He cut down the first one and begin moving to the others in lightning speed while the shadow weapons continue to provide him cover and deflect the bullets back to the soldiers that is unfortunate enough to be near range.
Nawin sense a magic signature just spike, making him turn to see one of the soldiers holding a giant green orb full of dense energy on his palm. "That will obliterate everything in the area… sorry, but I can't let that happen" Nawin said and throws the gunblade, making the soldier jump to the side to only get his head cut off clean as Nawin appear behind him holding the blooded blade.
Nawin turn around and lift his right hand up "Ice Glacier Storm" a gigantic ice blast fires from the black-haired boy's left palm. The blast is as wide as the whole hallway, not allowing the dozens of soldiers to escape. Nawin look at the now freezing hallway with a giant ice dome in front of him that is full of freezing soldiers.
Nawin dispel all the shadow weapons except for the gunblade, he grips the sword tightly and slash the whole ice dome in half. The ice creaks and shatters, turning all of the soldiers inside into a tiny and bloody ice pieces.
"Seems like you made quite a mess" a soft voice said, making the Makasha turn to see Ren leaning against the wall, looking at the scene with interest. Nawin eyes narrow, dispeling the gunblade and resume walking, passing the purple-haired girl, surprising her slightly "I have no business with you" he states without looking. Ren smirk and walk in front of the black-haired boy "I see. Well then let me take you to Schnyzel-sama, it is my order" she said, making Nawin raise an eyebrow 'So, I was right… considering how easy it was to enter here. Schnyzel must have just let me in, which means there's a high chance this is a trap…'.
Throne Room
Ren open the large door and let Nawin in to a beautiful room that seems to be made of gold and marble. There is an empty throne in the middle making the Makasha look around and spot to the right, a table with a chess board place on it and two chairs on each side, one of which is already occupied by Schnyzel.
Nawin's eyes narrow and walk toward the blonde, who sends him a kind smile "Well, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in a more appropriate manner, Nawin-kun" he said and watch the Makasha take a seat at the other side of the table. Nawin rest is right leg over his left leg and lean his head on his right hand, Schnyzel look at the Black Flash sitting position with interest 'He sits like a king…'.
"Where is Misako?" Nawin gets straight to the point, making the blonde chuckle in humor "How about this, Nawin-kun" Schnyzel turn to the chess board and pick up a white king piece "If you can beat me in a chess game, you can have Misako back and I'll even let you go with her freely, same goes with your other friend facing my guards right now" he smirks when seeing the slight shock look on the Makasha's face, though inside, Nawin is smirking darkly 'Huh, you may be right about that Schnyzel, but not all...'.
"And what if I lose?" Nawin ask "Simple, Misako will die along with your peerage member and your familiar" the blond reply. The Makasha look down at his black chess piece "I let you be black since the color seems to fit you nicely" Schnyzel said, seeing the Makasha's attire.
"Hmm… Fine, I accept your challenge, Schnyzel" Nawin says making the blonde smile "Very good. Now, let us begin".
Backside of the Mansion
"CLINK! CLINK! CLINK!" Akame deflect all the bullets and speed past the two soldiers and sheath in her sword, a moment past and blood explode from the soldiers back before they collapse to the ground. Akame turn back to look over a dozen of soldiers laid on the bloody floor, either dead or unconscious.
The Knight turns forward and continue her way through the hallway, but she is stop mid-way when light needles, fire from above. Akame sheath her sword out and cut all of them down in blinding speed. "So, you must be Akame… Nawin Makasha's Knight" Ren state, appearing in front of the black-haired girl.
Akame grab her cloak and throw it away, showing her wearing a black tight sleeve-less shirt with red stripes going down, short black battle skirt and black buckled boots with red soles. Long black socks go up her legs and stop on her thighs, a red metal glove that is design almost like a dragon claw is worn on both of her hands with the left one having a glowing white stone place on the middle.
Ren looks at the gloves with interest, then turn her attention back to the girl's face "I suggest you move aside, unless you want to be cut down" Akame said monotonously, placing her right hand on the sheath. The purple-haired girl chuckle before it explode into a fit of laughter, surprising the Knight a bit "Hahahaha, you, who just recently been turned to a knight speak to me like that. Hehehe, sorry, girl, but your outclass and out experience" Ren suddenly turn serious and grab her sword, pulling it out from her sheath with a hiss "I'm not allowing you to go through any further, since mine and your master is already in there and having their own business to take care of".
Akame grab her sword handle as red aura starts swirling around her. In a blink of an eye, Ren appear in front with her sword raise up in the air, making the black-haired sheath her sword out in blinding speed and blocks the attack. The whole hallway rumble from the swords clash.
Ren bring her left hand back, then thrust it forward sending a high pressure air blast at Akame, sending her sliding back. The Knight stab her sword to the ground, stopping her in place. She looks up to see Ren in front of her with her sword striking down.
Akame is force to let go of her sword and dodge from being cut in half. She was about to turn and grab her sword, but is interrupted by kick in the stomach that sends her crashing into a wall. "All talk and no bite" Ren state, placing her sword on her shoulder.
Akame body falls to the ground, barely conscious. Ren look at the fallen knight with disappointment, then turns around to walk back to the throne room. Akame move her head up, seeing the purple-haired girl retreating form. She turn to the side and look at the Black Thunder to its red lightning spark around the black blade 'Akame, I entrust this sword to you… I know you'll be able to unlock its power and master it' Nawin's words run through her mind, making her eyes widen slightly.
"I can't give u-up just y-yet" Ren turns around when hearing a quiet voice and is surprise to see Akame getting back up "You idiot, that kick broke your ribs and damaged your back immensely, just stay down and give up" she state when seeing the knight struggling to even stand up properly.
"Like hell I will" Akame grabs her sword and push herself up to her feet, then pulls the Black Thunder up and gets back to her stance. Ren's eyes narrow in annoyance "I was planning to spare you for now, but if you insist on dying now then it's my PLEASURE TO DO THAT!" Ren take her sword out and speed toward the batter knight.
Akame close her eyes and grip the handle, red lighting start to spark around the blade. She opens her eyes, showing it glowing red and block the incoming strike, shocking the other. Ren didn't have time to counter when red lighting explodes from Akame's blade, shocking her "AHHHH!" she screams in pain when feeling her body being strike by the red lightning.
Ren quickly kick the black-haired girl away and jump back to retreat from the deathly lightning. "W-what was that?!" she mutters, kneeling to the ground as her legs are still shaken from the attack along with her arms, forcing her to let go of her sword.
Akame pants heavily, feeling the attack took almost all of her mana away. She stabs her sword to the ground and use it to help her stand up "I'm getting pass you no matter what" she said with determination clear in her tone, shocking the purple-haired girl.
Ren grab her sword and stand back up on her feet "You have your master to serve and so do I!".
Ren stab her sword to the ground, creating a giant air wave that roars toward the knight. Akame jumps high up to dodge the violent air wave that could have cut her into pieces, she goes down and slams her sword to the ground to create a lightning stream, making Ren jump back, but she flinches feeling the lightning touch her right foot before she escapes it completely.
Akame appear behind the enemy and swing her sword, but Ren turn around and block it in time. She pushes the knight back, then send her left hand forward, but Akame grab her wrist to stop it "The same move won't work on me" she state making the other glare at her. The two glare at each other and start releasing their mana, red and purple aura start surrounding the two and clashing with one another, causing the hallway to shake. Pictures, lamps, and glass fall to the ground.
Akame, in lightning speed swipe Ren left leg, making her fall backwards, then the kngith quickly grab her sword and stabs right down the purple-haired girl's abdomen. Ren expression turn into shock, not even able to register what just happen, before she looks down to see the black blade stab through her stomach and pins her to the ground.
"It's over" Akame said, psuhing the blade deeper making the other groan in pain. "I'm surprise that you are able to endure this pain without screaming…" the knight admits, making Ren chuckle "This pain is nothing compare to what I've dealt with before" she said, catching the other attention.
Throne Room
Nawin smirk when looking at the chess board 'All you have left is your king and one pawn, Schnyzel, but it's too far away to be of any use' the Makasha looks at his king that stood two squares away from Schnyzel's and there's one pawn at its side and one knight that isn't far behind back, readying to strike 'Nowhere to go Schnyzel, you're trap'.
Nawin look up and is a little puzzle when seeing the blonde expression, it show no frustration or worry, just calm and almost happy, which makes the Makasha's eyes narrow, wondering what his opponent is planning. Schnyzel grab his king and move it forward, shocking the Makasha 'W-what, he just took his king to its grave?!'.
"Well, Nawin-kun… it's your turn" Schnyzel said smiling, snapping the black-haired boy out of his shock and glare mentally at the blonde 'He's toying with me!'
Kuoh
"Rias, what is it that you want to talk about?" Akeno ask as the two stops in one of their training fields just outside of Kuoh. The Gremory took a few step away from her friend "Akeno, I want to know the truth… did you kill Chika?" she asks and turns around to see the Himejima's blank expression.
Rias clench her fist seeing this "Akeno, tell me… did you really do it?!" she asks one more time, but doesn't get any reply. "Fine then, if you're like that then I'll force it out of you" "By using the piece's power?" Akeno ask with a little amusement "No, I promise myself that I will never use that vile technique on my family. I'll use force to bring it out of you" Rias body explode in crimson aura, causing the ground around her to explode.
Akeno snap her finger and bolt of lightning shot down to her from the dark thunderous cloud, making her body explode in yellow electric aura "I'm sorry Rias, but I'll not tell you anything… now is not the right time" she said getting to her stance "I'll have to knock you out, so you won't get in my way". Rias's eyes glow red as she gets in her own stance "You force my hands, Akeno, if you only give me a reason on why you did it, then we could come to terms, but I have a feeling I already know why".
Akeno sighs "You are still blind as ever Rias" she says, then fires a gigantic lightning blast making Rias fire her own destructive blast.
Underworld: Schnyzel's Mansion
Nawin suddenly smirk, catching the blonde's attention "I see where you're going with this, Schnyzel… but unlike others I can play dirty a bit and set my pride a side" he said, grabbing his king piece and move it forward to take the blonde's king away. "Though, my checkmate is very different compare to others" Nawin state, leaning back at the chair and rest his head on his right hand "My Checkmate means… death".
Suddenly, a hand shot through Schnyzel's chest making his calm expression turn into shock, he glances behind to see Hana standing there, causing his eyes to widen 'H-how I n-never sense her presence?!'. Schnyzel turn back to the Makasha and sees his dark and victorious smirk "Checkmate…".
