Tatsumi walked into the torture room that was holding Esdeath. Smiling, he knew she had no escape whatsoever and he was able to anything of which he wanted. He started with a punch, but it didn't feel right. She deserved more, he thought. a lot more. He had Mine bring him a pot of boiling tar. An evil smirk slowly spreading across his face.
"I've been waiting for this" He said as he picked up the pot. He poured a drop on some of her bare skin, smiling more as Esdeath screamed in pain. He sat the pot down back onto the burner, and took a small but sharp knife out. Looking at Esdeath's eyes as he pressed the blade against the top of her stomach, slowly pulling down as small beads of blood started to form from the cut he was forming on her stomach. It was deep enough to need stiches, which was part of Tatsumi's plan. As more blood, mixed with stomach acid started pouring out, he stitched the wound up.
Doing this, more acid was able to leak out but not as much blood, causing the exposed skin to burn. More screams were escaping her throat as Tatsumi watched, proud of what he has accomplished. The tar he poured now starting to cool, he chose another spot and poured more. Giggling as he heard the sizzle of her skin burning, he reached over to his tools and pulled out a nail remover. Slowly placing one of her nails onto the nail remover, he moved it wrong purposely to break the nail right in half, making it possible to break three times.
Shrieks of pain escaping Esdeath's throat as her nail broke off, and Tarsumi lined himself up to break another. Struggling with all her might, she desperately tried to escape. The pain being too much, tears started rolling down her cheeks. How could the person she love most in this world hurt her so? She couldn't understand it. Suddenly, another piece of her nail was broken off, leaving a jagged edge as a small bit of blood oozed out and exposing some raw skin. She wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer, this she knew.
When Tatsumi wasn't looking, she summoned all her power and froze the bandages of which was holding her down. Knowing they were now frozen, she broke free and froze Tatsumi's legs.
"Never turn your back on an enemy, even if they are tied down!" Esdeath warned Tatsumi. Before Tatsumi was able to scream for help, she had frozen his lips together, and started walking towards him. Her plan was to have Tatsumi go through the same torture of which she was put through. Little did Esdeath know, in the shadows was a savior.
Right before she finished tightening the last strap, a yellowish-orange beam shot out from the shadows, nearly missing Esdeath but forcing her to take a step back. Stepping out from the shadows, wearing a light pink dress with pink hair put into two pigtails, was Mine.
"Hands off my boyfriend, you bitch!" Mine said, readying for another shot. Esdeath, not thinking straight due to the excruciating pain of which she was experiencing, though Mine would be stupid enough to aim at her again. Another shot was fired from Pumpkin blaster, going for Esdeath at first but slowly moving towards Tatsumi, blowing the strap off. He was then able to quickly remove the other straps and stand up, ready to fight.
"Leone, Akame, Lubba, and ! Help!" Tatsumi shouted, the ice from his mouth finally melting off. All 4 of them burst into the room, imperial arms ready. They know that before them was the greatest enemy they were yet to face. Taking this fight would mean risking the loss of a member, and that was just something that they would have to do.
Mine ran beside Esdeath, shooting to distract her as Leone fell in from the air in an attempt to hold her down. Lubba was wiring all the exits so that if she ran, she would be instantly sliced into a thousand pieces. Akame and Tatsumi were both up close, fending her off. They had to hold her back while everybody else tried their best to land a blow. Mine, now on another floor and still able to see, was attempting to snipe her. Sadly though, Esdeath was just to fast.
Knowing she was trapped with little to no escape, she froze everybody's legs. After doing so, she froze part of the wall and punched it, causing it to shatter. After making herself a new exit, she ran. Knowing that it would make her look like a coward, she had to run so that she could survive another day. All the other members of night raid started beating and cutting the ice, knowing it was too late to save her.
Mine came down with a fire to melt the ice, starting with Tatsumi obviously. After everybody was free, they went back to the main room to discuss how they could get her back. Leone offered to have one of the members allow themselves to be captured then set it so the rest can enter, but quickly realized that it was too dangerous, even for them. Mine wanted to snipe her for all the pain and bad memories implemented into Tatsumi's brain, but she remembered that Esdeath was too quick, even for a genius sniper such as herself.
They spent about four hours talking when the clock in the room struck midnight. All of them being heavy eye, groggy and irritated, they all went to bed. Tatsumi walked into the same room together and sat down. Mine grabbed Tatsumi's head gently in her hands, turning it lightly and staring into his eyes. Watching as the tire in his eyes turned into the love of which he held for her. Kissing him gently, she laid back, got comfy, and quickly fell asleep dreaming of the wonderful boyfriend she has.
