Ieyasu
Ieyasu stood before the empty grave looking at it intently. They buried Sayo at the mansion burnt to the ground, but Leone had surprised him with the grave saying it may be empty but he should have somewhere to visit her in spirit. He wouldn't call himself a religious man not any sense of the word more so now after what he suffered. He came here before their mission to stop this General Esdeath from killing some politicians. The problem lied on actually facing her, two targets where present the first was in a mansion in the noblemen's district. The second was actually three individuals in a boat departing from the Capital as a leisure tour for the upper crust of society. The boat would leave from Chameleon Bay and round the colder waters for a bit before returning to port. Man I hope I can be rich after we win this revolution smirked Ieyasu. The smirk was a bitter and the thoughts of the future seemed bleak to him.
A minute later he felt he was not alone, Akame walked up beside him staring at the grave of Sayo. "Where you and her very close?" she asked her emotionless voice was a comfort to Ieyasu these days.
"Yeah though I think her and Tatsumi where closer" he grinned her way but he doubted he fooled her.
"Did you…love her?" Akame asked this time showing a bit more emotion as she held her arm. Ieyasu blushed at that actually. True he did, but she only had eyes for Tatsumi, but Ieyasu decided a long time ago he would wish his friends good luck if Sayo ever confessed her feelings.
"Kind off, but she only ever saw Tatsumi" he shrugged. Akame smiled a little and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks, now we have to move" Ieyasu placed his hand on her shoulder and turned to leave. Before he could he felt her pull on his jacket. Ieyasu turned to see Akame look at him with worried red eyes looked with a certain despair to them. Ieyasu sighed and pulled her hugging Akame tight.
"I won't die, I promised we still have a war to win" Ieyasu finished. Pulling apart Akame smiled at him genuine from the heart and Ieyasu retuned it with a grin. After the two returned inside Ieysau regrouped with Sheele, Mine and, Lubbock. Ieyasu grinned and put his fist out before them, Sheele smiled and put her fist forward Lubbock shrugged and did the same. Mine rolled her eyes and joined the ritual.
"Let's finish our mission" Ieyasu said and the three of them nodded determination in all their eyes. Leaving the hide out the three sneaked into the capital. Once reaching a contact they got some inside men who provided them with black suits. Well except for Ieyasu who got a white suit to work as a security guard for a council woman who dressed her guard in white. Inside the ship Ieyasu was on the first deck while Sheele and Lubbock hid in the engine room.
Mine was up in the ceiling sneaking up there when a ceremony at the front of the ship was happening. Mine watched the people go about their business from Pumpkin's scope and Ieyasu had casually looked up to stop her.
Right, now I just need keep my eyes peeled for any attack Ieyasu for the millionth time adjusted his orange tie. Damn how can people wear this stupid thing! His assigned VIP was standing with two other guards in white while she talked to some politician. Looking off from the deck Ieyasu noticed they could still see land. Maybe they want to attack once land is fully out of sight, might make this whole mess easier to explain.
Lubbock
Lubbock found it hard to concentrate in the stupid heat of the engine room. They swept the whole lower deck and found nothing but workers. Lubbock was wearing black glvoes to hide cross tail but he couldn't remove the stupid jacket that was baking him on the spot. I should have gone top deck let Iyeasu cook in here. Sheele had Extase hidden in one of the compartments where works put their tools away. She got the luxury to remove her jacket and loosen her tie, though he did find it funny that she kept cleaning her glasses as they kept fogging up.
"Man we should have taken the top floor eh?" Lubbock grinned. Sheele smiled shaking her head in disagreement.
"No I might do something clumsy and get everyone's attention I think we work best here" she said. Lubbock sighed that was true.
"Well I suppose it can't be helped plus I get to share the room with a pretty lady" he wiggled his brows at Sheele who giggled behind her fist used to his nature. Rounding one of the many maintanence hall they found a worker on the ground. Oh crap, offcourse they're here. Lubbock thought and went to check on the guard.
"He's sleeping? Come on man wake up" the man didn't budge even after he not so gently slapped his cheeks.
"He's out cold then…oh crap! Come on let's get up deck!" Lubbock said. Glad to throw off the coat and undid the tie. Sheele nodded and retrieved Extase, and the two ran upstairs finding more and more unconscious people.
Tatsumi
Another assassination on political enemies and Tatsumi was no less thrilled by the rather grim task. This is how it needs to be until we put the rebellion down. Tatsumi tought darkly, they had been sneaked off into the VIP quarters for what would normally be a really high class passenger like a millionaire or even the Prime Minister himself. Nyau was on the open window of the balcony using his Teigu Scream. To put the passengers and crew to sleep. The crew had been bribed and promised that they would not kill any of the crew. Granted only the captain and officers got to see the coin they received, tch I should slit their throats while they sleep corrupt bastards Tatsumi cursed. He hated this whole situation but he would follow his orders and if they got lucky Night Raid would be here to be taken out. He remembered the conversation before entering the ship with his comrades.
Please! I know it's a lot to ask but if Night Raid shows up and a guy named Ieyasu is there please don't kill him take him prisoner. He is my friend from my village he may have gotten tangled with them by accident, so please just capture him.
Tatsumi remembered Daidara screamed with his usual answer 'ah what a pain but it can't be helped' he had grinned. Liver simply nodded his agreement and Nyau rolled his eyes saying he couldn't go against everyone in the end. He still didn't like Nyau too much because of his sick habbit but Tatsumi could put that aside during battle. The sliding door to the balcony opened and in walked Nyau, "done" he smirked.
"Alright Tatsumi you go kill the military leader in the second deck Daidara take the main deck Nyau make sure no one gets up, I will look for this Ieyasu fellow" Liver ordered.
"Right!" they all responded and began their mission, Tatsumi ran out the door to make his way down. Tatsumi down the side stairs and made it to the second deck. Walking down the main hallway he found near the end of it his target. A door with knocked out guards. Unsheathing Incursio Tatsumi took comfort the target wasn't a helpless old man or a girl but a military man. Taking a few steps closer rapid footsteps reached his ears. From the corner two people met him face to face. One was a woman with a ridiculous pair of giant scissors. The other guy seemed to be wearing some sort of metal tipped gloves they stared at each other for a few seconds Night Raid! The woman ran for him fast. Shit! Swinging her giant scissors impossibly fast for their sieze Tatsumi blocked with Incursio.
"Damn it! Get out of my way!" Tatsumi cursed pushing back with all his might she jumped back and stepped out of the way as two knives passed her, cursing Tatsumi duked out of the way. He saw the green haired guy smirk and do a hand motion with his hands. Eyes widening Taatsumi was able to make out the wires turning he parried a knife the other cut his black coat as he twisted left to avoid. The scissor woman was on him. Opening he found himself between the dangerous blades, he stared into her eyes cold and calculative not today! Tatsumi dropped and he watched a few of his hairs float before him as she caught his hair in snpping the scissors shut. Delivering a kick to her stomach she was launched back a few feet. Rolling to his feet Tatsumi gritted his teeth.
"INCRUSIO!" he called out to his Tiegu huge hand appeared behind him from the floor and it slammed down on him the armor materializing in its wake. His cape billowed momentarily before settling.
"Night Raid! You're war propagating killings end here!" With the added speed Tatsumi charged the scissors woman. She gasped s Tatsumi deliver fast punches and kicks as she used the flat end of the scissors to block. She's strong but not stronger than Incursio! Planting his feet he did a sweeping roundhouse kick knocking her out of the way with a yelp. Shit! The green haired guy threw what appeared to be a spear weaved of wires. With his reflexes he shot his hand out grabbing the shaft of the spear.
"Bad Idea guy!" he said and he spread his hands pulling his fingers closed and then open. The wires uncoiled. Tatsumi tried pulling his sword back but the wires wrapped around his gauntlet and pulled planting his feet firmly Tatsumi readied to pull. Scissors lady had regained her strength and attacked him scissors wide open she was about cut his mid-section.
"Like Hell!" lifting his armored knee and shooting out his free hand tatsumi grabbed the blade behind him and the one before him hit his knee.
"Damn it this guy doesn't seem to want to die!" Lubbock cursed. The woman had her hands trembling as she tried to force the scissors close. You're going to give out before Incursio does lady the green hair guy pulled on the strings but Tatsumi didn't budge. Where the hell is Nyau! Tatsumi knew he should be wondering somewhere he should run into them by now.
Nyau
Got yourself in a bind there, well I guess I'm going to have to help and be a little too late. Nyau didn't like Tatsumi not one bit he was too soft and he was messing with the flow of things in the group. General Esdeath was putting too much stock into him so in his opinion he had to be taken out. So patiently he decided to wait it out.
Tatsumi
Green hair guy gave up on using force and was now weaving another spear out of wires. Tatsumi was gritting his teeth frustrated in the situation he was caught in. come on lady just get tired already! Fine I'm going to make you! Tatsumi began pushing against the scissor blades grunting as he did so.
"Just a little longer Sheele!" green guy shouted.
"O-okay Lubock!" Sheela said, but Tatsumi was having none of it and he pushed with all his might. Finally Sheele gave and the scissors opened fully. Putting his boot to the wall next to him Tatsumi used his body as a weapon and knocked himself into Sheele making her smack into the other wall.
"Bastard!" Lubbock yelled and therw the spear Tatsumi was not going to get his other hand caught so he ducked under it. knee firmly on the ground and with good leverage Tatsumi pulled with all of Incuriso's might and brought Lubbock with him.
"whao!" Lubbcok was rocketed off his feet to Tatsumi who reared his fist to cave his skull in. rapidly Lubbock let go of Tatsumi and span a web of thick wire panel and Tatsumi smashed his fist into it. Tatsumi was glad he had Incursio on otherwise he would have broken his hand if the metallic impact was anything to go by. Undoing the wire Lubbock jumped back and created a red of spinning sharp wires that cut the floor before him sending him to Tatsumi. Jumping back Tatsumi gained some distance.
"I can't beat you alone but I can slow you down!" his arms and hands moved into an intricate patter and Tatsumi watched him weave a huge wall of wires blocking his path to Sheele and himself, and his target. Tatsumi cursed and banged his fist on the wires.
"Damn it!" Tatsumi cursed he needed to find a way around now the wire was too strong even for Incursion. Guess fighting other Tiegu users is harder than regular men Tatsumi thought turning and running with augmented speed around the corner.
Lubbock
Lubbcok looked over Sheele who thankfully was just knocked out cold from the impact. Her head was rattled but no bleeding to be seen. Hitting his ear piece communicator he talked to Ieyasu and Mine. "Guys! I found one of the assassins he had an armor type Tiegu! Sheele is been incapacitated but I managed to slow him down" he informed grunts and the sound of Pumpking firing was all he got in response. Damn they got their hands full too Lubbock said.
"Sheele I need you to wake up I'm going to buy us some time I hope you ca make it before this guy punches a hole in my head" Lubbock said sardonically. Unweaving the wall a little he noticed the guy left taking the other way around. With some effort he got all of Cross Tails wires back and turned rounding the corner. Well let's see how fast you are with this! Weaving the wires Lubbock formed an intricate pattern of wires around himself twice as a make shift armor. Now I got to be careful one wrong move and I might strangle or cut myself to tiny pieces. Lubbock said running forward about halfway into the hallway. From the other end the armored guy rounded the corner skitting to a halt to see Lubbock in his makeshift armor.
Tatsumi
Bastards resourcefull a'll give him that, but he won't be for long if he needs time to make that many tightly packed wires his concentration must be the only thing keeping those things up, Tatsumi grinned under his helmet smashing his fist into his open palm with a metal clank. Guess al rattle your head until you slip up! Running Tatsumi picked up speed to smash him with everything he had. Lubock stood at the ready and launched forward. Rearing his fist back Tatsumi was ready, Lubbock returned the gesture and they met both fist clashing with a loud clank.
Tatsumi heard the guy shout in pain, so you felt that huh? Well feel this too! Tatsumi began going through his martial arts forms and kicked punched at Lubbock. However Lubbock wasn't an assassin for names sake and he countered Tatsumi's style rather well. They traded kicks and punches with Lubbock managing to redirect Tatsumis much stronger and powerful punches thanks to Incursio's strength. Stepping back Tatsumi blocked a punch meant for his face and he returned the gesture throwing a quick jab to his face. Lubbock moved his face to the side and brought a knee to Tatsumi's side. Tatsumi bent awkwardly for a sec and Lubbock capitalized on the move and threw a good one and two to his face knocking Tatsumi back. Martial arts too, man Night Raid is more than just cut throats after all Tatsumi threw a roundhouse kick. Lubbock ducked but, Tatsumi didn't stop using the momentum he swept Lubbock off his feet. Pushing off with his feet Tatsumi stood with his hands and brought his armored boot down to try and crush Lubbock's head. Lubbcok put his arms before him blocking in an x and Tatusumi heard him cry out in pain. His blows weren't lethal but he was doing more damage than he was on Tatsumi. I just need to outlast him then rolling away Tatsumi stood as did Lubbock albeit a bit slower.
Again forward Tatsumi threw a high kick that Lubbock deflected and he brought a punch to Tatsumi's groin. Tatsumi grimaced pulling back, but Lubbock pushed his advantage throwing a punch to Tatsumi's face knocking him back some more. Widening his stance Tatsumi did the next thing and reared back before bringing his head forwar smashing it against the incoming fist. Lubbock cried out loudly and stepped back. He was shaking his left fist he just head butted a little, while Tatsumie stepped back trying to get his barings after that jarring hit rattled his head in his helmet. Blinking Tatsumi felt the killing intent and quickly rolled away a loud snap in his wake. Sheele was up and her cold eyes looked to cut him one way or the other. Tatsumi cursed sent back to square one fighting two Tiegu users on his own.
Ieyasu
He wanted to use Alastor now more than ever but he had to save it for a more crucial time. This big axe guy was something else though. His blows where like being hit by a hammer. Every parry Ieyasu felt it up to his arms. He should count himself lucky though as the old guy who could manipulate water was having a shootout with Mine. He fired projectiles she returned the fire with Pumpking, from his ear piece he had heard Lubbock tell him of another assassin using an Armor Tiegu. Tatsumi is that you? He thought briefly but dismissed the thought. Tatsumi was a good guy who wouldn't be working for a cruel woman like Esdeath. There had to be more armor types if the fact that Alastor existed was something to go by. Jumping back Ieyasu watched the beastly guy smirk and pull his axe apart.
"Go! Belvaac!" he threw one of the new blades and it span at Ieyasu who briefly considered deflecting it but the way it was kicking up the wind he decided against it jumping over it.
"Missed me!" grinned Ieyasu, but the beastly guy only smirked and Ieyasu felt the killing intent and quickly rolled to the side as the blade span back to his owner.
"Ah I guess I did, but its alright the stronger you are the more battle experience I get!" roared the beastly guy charged both axes in hand and Ieyasu met him half way.
"HYAAH!" Ieyasu said as they crossed blades. When he parried his right swing Ieyasu had to already be on the move to avoid the left one. Like with the axe united the guy's strength was ridiculous. Each parry was devastating. Ieyaus had to focuse on dodging more because every block was merely zapping his strength. I need an opening, there! Ieyasu noticed how after every swing he was already swinging the other axe. So timing his parry he blocked the right on and ducked under the other one and stood side stepping the right swing again but now Ieyasu was in his blind spot at the right. spinning with Alastor he swnung to take his head. But Beast guy wasn't going out that easily and lifted his arms and jumped back and Alastor left an ugly gash across his chest running the black uniform.
"GAAAH!" he yelled in pain. Pressing the advantage Ieyasu charged before stopping as a wave of neusia hitting him making his resolve drop. The big guy smirked and delivered a huge boot to his chest that Ieyasu barely blocked with Alastor as he was rocketed backwards form the sheer force. Sliding to a stand still Ieyasu knelt watching a young looking boy play a flute. His Tiegu is that fluet! The more he heard the music the more his will to fight left him and Alastor sent dark hisses of disapproval into his mind.
Pain.
Alastor spoke, Ieyasu blinked the haze in his mind making it hard to think.
Pain.
It hissed again with rising anger, eyes widening Ieyasu understood. Mouth opened he bit down hard on his hand drawing blood. The effects like a cloud evaporated. And Ieyasu stood in time to avoid big meaty fist of beast guy. He rolled to the side.
"Ah he figured out how to break the effect" commented Nayu as he walked beside the beast guy.
"More fun this way! How about a little boost Nyau" the beast guy said and the boy grinned and put the fluet to his mouth and played as he walked backwards to a safer distance. Roaring the wound seemed to be forgotten as the beast guy fought with twice the vigor now and even his speed picked up. so much so Ieyasu was contemplating using Alastor less he end up dying.
The Sound brings valor.
Alastor was being surprisingly helpful this fight, then again most of his assassination targets wheren't Tiegu users.
"Mine! The little guy shoot him! Keep him from playing that flute he's powering up this guy with it!" the pink haird sniper yelled back frustrated as she took cover and relocated to another side of the roof.
"Do I have to do everything!?" Mine yelled and the music stopped as an annoyed Nyau took to dodging the shots.
Liver
The situation was unfavorable to him, if he lept and tried to close the distance he wouldn't be able to doge in the air and the girl would shoot him down. Using his Teigu even in small projectiles like this was not taxing but like a dripping droplet of water, it eventually fills up a glass. So the more he sued it the more stamina Liver wasted. He was hard pressed and if he turned to help Daidara the girl would have free reign to line uninterrupted shots and it could cost them their lives. Though they were all ready to die for General Esdeath they weren't going to throw those lives away so fast. So liver had only once chance now. He needed to cause something to his advantage.
So running into her blind spot Liver summoned the power of his tiegu. "WATER DRAGON HEAVENLY JUDGMENT!" Liver declared and from the side of the ship water pillars rose and began to wave their ends turning to the shape of Dragons. Genreal forgive us but if we cannot defeat them here we will be taking them out with us! Bringing his hand down his dragons attacked.
Mine
When she saw the Dragons she prepared pumpking to shoot them out of the way. With the added power up of her being in a pinch she would decimate the attack. That seemed to be the problem however as she could not feel that old man's killing intent. The ship! Mine thought and quickly stabbed the sharp bayonet ending of Pumpking into the ceiling and hung for dear life. Before shouting into her ear piece and at Ieyasu.
"BRACE!" she yelled
Tatsumi
Tatsumi was pushed back growling as he did so the combined efforts of Lubbock and Sheele were going to be the end of him. But as he prepared to conter attack he stumbled as the ship rumbled and did a huge buckle. Before he could do anything a huge concentrated water stream burst before him cutting him off from him and the two assasins. Liver! Damn it! Tatsumi cursed and the pipes by him exploded as well as more explosions rocked across the ship! Tatsumi was flung out into the side of the ship from one of the decorative windows just barely holding onto the side before h fell into the water.
Lubbock
Creating a protective cocoon around him and Sheele Lubbock rode out the shock wave of what felt like an artillery strike on the ship. "Hold on!" Sheele did so gripping his waist with one hand and the other holding Extase. A beautiful woman holding onto me and I can't even take the time to enjoy it! Some god must hate me! Lubbock thought sardonically his left hand felt like fire but he had to keep going. He needed to hold it together Najenda he repeated her name like a mantra to keep him together.
Ieyasu
The big cabbin collapses as a water dragon pierced it and the building began falling apart. The entire ship had rocked and thrown everyone to the ground. Stabbing Alastor into the wood he held for dear life as everything fell apart. Another explosion from the main deck where his target was finally knocked everyone around and Ieyasu was engulfed by blackness.
Tatsumi
He hauled himself over the railing to find himself near the front of the ship. Collapsing he let the armor disperse at this moment not caring if he was letting his guard down. He was breathing heavy his battle with the two assasins Lubbock and Sheele had left him drained. Damn these guys are pretty good rolling onto his stomach he stood on the destroyed deck pieces of the big building everywhere and a thick smog from fires in the engine room rose into the air. The ship groaned and Tatsumi felt it tilt a little we are going to sink soon, we have to get out of here Tatsumi said and walked on the deck.
"Liver! Daidara!" he called out. "Nyau! Anyone!" if he called for him he must be desperate Tatsumi walked over some rubble and recognized a black sleeve sticking out from it. Lots of dead again he thought as he found lots of bodies and body parts of passangers. Making it near the tip where the decorative dragon head was Tatsumi grimaced. Sure he didn't like the bastard but hell that was painful. A big piece of metal had landed on Nyau's head smashing his skull and his brain matter was all over the deck, luckily the Tiegu was intact. Sick bastard even if I didn't like you, that's a bad way to go Tatsumi turned and looked for anyone else. Hearing a rumble nearby Tatsumi got near the rubble "Incuriso" he said and in a quick flash the armor was on again. Moving the ruble he found a battered Daidara.
"You look like hell" Tatsumi tried grinning and picked him up a horrible gash was across his chest but the warped metal stuck in his abdomen looked worst.
"Ah guy, I found your friend but, I don't know if he made it" he coughed grinning.
"Forget that right now, Ieyasu is hard to kill he'll be fine" I hope so Tatsumi thought with trepidation. He hauled him up and he leaned heavily on Incursio as Tatsumi helped him clear from the rubble.
"Where are the others" he grimaced.
"Nyau is dead, I don't know about Liver" Tatsumi said worry over the General and dare he say it mentor creeping in. Daidara coughed up some blood growling as he put his hand to his wound coming back bloody.
"Yo looks like I'm done too" he said grinning lopsidesly Tatsumi cursed he could live with Nyau dead, no one would lose sleep over that bastard but Daidara didn't deserve to die like this. He needed to die in his feet with steel in his hand like he would have it. Now he would die bleeding out in a damn boat. Damn it Liver, why did you do this Tatsumi thought.
"Heh you have to get strong, Tatsumi" Daidara said Tatsumi would have been baffled that he used his name instead of guy or bro. But as it stood he needed to help Daidara.
"But you got to remember to pay attention even in a time like this, later bro!" He said and Tatsumi was startled as Daidara pushed him back as he did with a grin on his face, what!? Tatsumi thought. He felt the killing intent too late and he saw a beam of energy vaporize Daidara's head. His grin stayed to the very end. Tatsumi felt his eyes widen. It was all so bloody fast, he was there Daidara was grinning like a big idiot like always just a second ago!
Hey bro! let's fight!
A tie! Man you give me the best battle experience!
We have to become the strongest and catch up to the General Guy!
Tatsumi fell on his back his gauntlet reaching up as he remembered Daidara, for everything that happened Daidara cared for his comrades' even creepy Nyau. Daidara pushed him out of the way of a killing shot meant for him.
"You….BITCH!" with lighting speed Tatsumi jumped up. A shot came from the still unsettled dust and smoke from the destroyed engines. The killing intent read his mind working on pure twisted in an awkward angle his back bent back as the energy shot grazed his breast plate creating sparks. I got you! Landing Tatsumi sprinted across the deck. His senses, Tatsumi ducked another beam missed, every shot only furthering his rage fueled killing intent. Jumping to the right he landed on the railing running along it. I'm going to kill you! His mind raged jumping off left ducked another shot whizzed by grabbing big piece of debris from the ground he ran to see a pink haired girl holding a rifle at him. He felt a spike on the killing intent aimed at him timing his run he threw his projectile.
Mine
That crazy bastard had to have a plastic spine, up in the air like that he should have been a sitting duck but he bent back making her miss her first shot. He then predicted every of her trailing shots and he kept dodging them all but as she felt Pumpking respond with an increase of power, so much so Mine felt it vibrate in her palms.
"Being stubborn, I guess this can be considered a pinch!" Mine yelled and aimed Pumpking, before something grey came out of nowhere and hit pumpking her shot went wide into the air and she had to hold it with all her might to keep Pumpking from shaking and breaking her arms. She felt her stomach dropped to her feet eyes wide as the white cape was the last thing she could see without craining her neck back.
Tatsumi
Tatsumi got behind her and raised his hand ready to bring his fist down on the back of her neck to kill Daidara's killer.
"Mine!" Sheele yelled and Tatsumi jumped over the purpled headed assassin as swung her scissors at him. Damn it don't interrupt! Tatsumi ran at her delivering raged filled attacks with inhuman strength that Sheele was forced to use her Tiegu to keep from Tatsumi breaking her in half with his strikes. Pulling his punch back Tatsumi felt himself be pulled back and losing his balance. Looking up he saw Lubbock holding him back rolling back Tatsumi slid out of the grip and Lubbock crused weaving a wall before him and Tatsumi as Tatsumi tried to punch himself through it. Damn it! Damn it! Tatsumi growled before rolling away as Sheele tried to cut him in half rolling away Tatsumi. Cursed need more, I need more power Incursio, Incuriso, INCURSIO! Extending his hand Tatsumi found a part of Incursio he couldn't open before something he still hadn't mastered when he left his village a long shaft materialized with a gem in bright blood red a blade in a v arc covered the end.
"NEUNTOTE!" Tatsumi span the spear once and attacked Sheele curse sparrying a stab ment for her heart. Tatsumi span and brought the shaft to her side and he heard a loud crack over her cry as he moved to attack Lubbock. Tatsumi stabbed and stabbed against Lubbock and his wall his spear tip slipping between the walls. Night Raid, I wont forgive you! Tatsumi roared as he broke Lubbock's defense little by little.
Ieyasu
The armored guy was attacking and so far keeping all three of his friends in check. I have to help Ieyasu thought taking Alastor he wiped a hand over his forehead trying to remove the smear off blood. His head got a scratch that would no doubt leave a scar. Now or never lifting Alastor Ieyasu was ready to summon the armor.
"SNAKE OF THE ABYSS!" Ieyasu rolled away as huge water pressure attack slid past him the floor busting it worse than it already was. From a cloud of smoke walked that old guy that destroyed the ship. He walked blood was smeared on the lower side of his abdomen. He's wounded Ieyasu thought evens man oozed power Ieyasu summoned his Tiegu.
"ALASTOR!" lightning stroke Ieyasu dark devil wings sprouted from his back engulfing him. Before the old man he stood in his armor. Electricity crackled thorugh his finger tips and he charged on the old man.
"It ends here!" Ieyasu threw opened clawed attacks that the old man deflected by using flat hands to slap the attacks way. He knows if I touch him I'm going to zap the life out of him falling back Ieyasu tried overpowering the older man with the suits stronger physical ability and threw a hard kick to his midsection. Ieyasu scowled from the lower levels. Ieyasu pulled back and grinned putting his hands close as electricity flowed. Ieyasu pressed his hands on the ground and electricity flowed to the water the old man didn't seem phased.
"Fool!" he said the water to his feet dispersed and he picked it up waving it around him before sending the concentrated stream at Ieyasu. The electricity didn't harmed him but the water preassure blasted him back.
"Gah!" Ieyasu said using the momentum to roll to his feet. as he knelt he looked to the side briefly.
"A secon can make a difference in the battle!" Ieyasu crossed his arms as he was blasted off the deck by a high preasssure water pillar. After a second later, Ieyasu flew up into the sky, rearing his hand back he shot electric charges at the old man. He flinched but the water shield he put up safely redirected it to the ground.
"I'm disappointed in what Tatsumi said about you Ieyaso Winchester! Even now he is twice the warrior!" The old men put his hands out and water shot up from the ocean.
"WATER DRAGON HEAVENLY JUDGEMENT!" the attack he used in the beginning to bring the ship down Ieyasu cursed as the dragons weaved and went at him mouth open.
Power, we need more power!
Ieyasu roared loud and followed the image Alastor put in his head he flew upward then dove down and span. Electricity crackled around and around until a vortex formed around him. The power, was overwhelming Ieyasu tore through the dragons the older man's eyes widen as he tore through the attack and landed punching the ground sending a shockwave in a dome shape of elcetrcity.
Tatsumi
Tatsumi turned to see the black armor guy land and send that attack of energy. Crossing his arms Tatsumi braced for the impact none came as it was only the electric energy that coursed through his body "RRRUUAAAHHHHH!" he yelled in pain as every nerve in his body lit up with the electric current. With the electric energy coursing through his body right side by the visor of Incursio cracked, and shattered. He fell to a knee gasping holding his chest his heart felt like it was about to explode. Tatsumi felt the killing intent and turned to find that Sheele assassin open her scissors coming for him. Not… today I'm going to kill one of you now! Scissors opened a bring flash emitted from the scissors the scissors snapped close. Tatsumi had jumped into the sky high he summoned his spear killing intent clear he launched it. As a blast from the pink girl came for him. Tatsumi crossed his arms in the last second and he was blasted off the boat. The explosion was what sent him down, and Incursio's helmets.
Tatsumi felt the wind whip about his face, he looked down to see Liver be blasted out of the dock lighting coursing through the air. Liver…Liver Tatsumi reached to Liver as he fell into the water. Looking down his green eyes closed as he joined him in the down under.
Ieyasu
Ieyasu sighed after blasting off the old man who seemed to have lost hope as soon as the armored guy was blasted away. Calling off Alastor Ieyaso walked with a grin to his friends "Guys! We…did it" he felt the color drain from him. In between the group Mine tears in her eyes was holding Sheele eyes wide Ieyasu fell to his knees no, no, no I failed again not again! Ieyasu felt tears sting his eyes.
"DAMN IT!" Ieyasu cursed out feeling his heart twisting how he felt a failure for failing Sayo and now Sheele.
Tatsumi
He hacked out dirty sea water onto a sandy ground writhing for a moment before turning to lay on his back. Tatsumi felt his lungs on fire as he watched dark storm clouds gather above the sky growing grey. He lifted his head and looked down to see by his right side Incuriso stabbed on the ground. Gasping for breath he licked his lips and called out "Liver!" his hoarse voice called out.
"Tatsumi" he received a response the voice sounded tired and so very old. Tatsumi had ever heard it so tired his entire time with him always high energy. Flopping onto his belly Tatsumi crawled on his stomach dragging himself across the sand. Squinting his geen eyes he found Liver just a few paces ahead on his back. Tatsumi reached him and dragged himself into his knees looking at liver. His white shirt was burnt and his muscled chest had burns as well as blood soaking into the sand on his lower left side.
"I need to get you to a medic" Tatsumi's voice rasped. Liver blinked before looking at Tatsumi and spoke to him.
"Tatsumi, I'm glad you're okay…when I saw you blast out of that ship…I seemed to have lost my will" Liver said his voice sounded incredulous. "I saw your resolve Tatsumi, on that mission killing that Politician. A good man something I used to be before I was betrayed" Tatsumi gritted his teeth, this sounded like a dead man making peace.
"Damn it! Liver you aren't dead yet, you are going to be fine!" Tatsumi said gritting his teeth trying to keep his tears in. there was no one he could manifest his rage into he didn't know what to do. He lost so much damn it all he lost so much he couldn't lose another person.
"Tatsumi, I used up all of my energy to swim you a neigh ten miles off shore" Liver groaned bringing his hand to his side with blood.
"Damn it Liver" sighed Tatsumi.
"Tatsumi…I'm glad to have met you, I'm glad General Esdeath sees potential in you because. I see it as clear as day you are going to be a great warrior one day Tatsumi" Liver groaned and Tatsumi felt tears on his eyes.
"I'm going to change this empire, Liver I promise you I will change this empire and get rid of this corruption" Tatsumi growled.
"Good you can do it Tatsumi you will inherit my will that which I couldn't do so many years ago" Liver lifted his bloodied hand placing it to his face dirtying his brown hair. Liver wiped it down his face and Tatsumi opened his eyes to see Liver look at him in the eyes.
"You're a real soldier now son, no more kid games" he said Tatsumi nodded he felt it inside. He felt the change his goal set his sense of duty like steel. Tatsumis father's voice rang in his head telling him of his will and his strength. Tatsumi looked onto Liver the blood smeared on his face felt like a form of baptism. His blood on his face felt heavy with the burden of responsibility.
"Tatsumi one more thing, if you ever learn of the truth don't forget who you are what you learn will never change who you are" Tatsumi looked confused.
"Liver" Tatsumi said he couldn't figure out what else to say.
"Tatsumi…guh Tatsumi you will be the second coming of the strongest of the empire remember to follow the General" Liver said his chest stopped raising his eyes looked heavy.
"I promise" Tatsumi said. Liver smiled and he did not move Tatsuim gritted his teeth as he watched his mentor die with a smile.
"RGGGAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" his anguished filled yell resounded into the night as rain began pouring down on him.
Esdeath
This was her fault she should have gone with Tatsumi and sent the Beast to kill the fat bastard. Night Raid sent assassins Akame and some woman who had the Imperial Arm Lionell. Akame was interesting some potentianl then again she was part of the assassin program training killers from birth. She was standing tall the elemnts raging around her as her ship was heading to shore. On the halfway sunk vessel they found Daidara's body as well as what was left of Nyau's body. Her keen eyes looked across the beach and she found them. Tatsumi! She thought with fear and froze the water path before her as she ran on it to the beach. What she found both puzzuled her, relieved her and, interested her in so many ways.
Tatsumi was half laying on a rock on the beach Liver's body was next to him both hands folded over his chest Tatsumi had blood smeared on his face being washed away by the water. Tatsumi had a serene smile on his face.
