A/N: Two more chapters left! I really want this to be finished so I can focus on my other stories. Don't forget to vote and follow me if you enjoy Akame ga Creed!

I ran towards the man. He was limping towards a forest.

"HEY!" I shouted. The man stopped and turned around.

"If you're gonna kill me. Get it over with." He said.

I looked at him. I had my hand on the hilt of my sword. I look at him... I couldn't help but feel sympathy for him. I sighed and let go of my blade.

"My name's Ezio. What's yours?" I asked him, trying to sound as friendly as I can.

Despite the mask, he was wearing. I could tell he is giving me a confused look.

"It's Bols... aren't you supposed to-"

"Kill you?" I interrupted, "yeah, but... sometimes I like to talk to my targets. Get to know them until I end their life."

I heard a quiet chuckle come out from him. "I thought you assassins are ruthless killers." He chuckled.

I walk towards him. "That's not fully true. My comrades can be childish." I chuckle as well.

I look at the forest behind him then looked back at Bols. "Wanna sit down? You look pretty fucked up." I grinned.

"Uhh... sure." He walked towards a tree and sat down, leaning his back on it. I did the same with the other tree beside him.

"You have a family, Bols?" I asked him. Bols nodded.

"Yes I do... what about you, Ezio?" He asked.

"I have a sister back at home," I answered. "And my comrades are like family to me... probably because I have to watch over them sometimes."

Bols laughs. "Same thing with my comrades."

I laugh alongside with him. I stopped and looked at Bols. "Why are you fighting?" I asked him.

"Hmm?"

"Why are you fighting? You have a family. Isn't it risky to be fighting alongside with the Empire and probably put your family at risk?" I asked.

Bols went silent for a moment until he spoke up. "Before the Jaegers; I was in the incineration squad for the Empire.

I burnt down villages and executed many people who I actually considered to be innocent people." He continues. "I felt like I was the bad guy and that everyone felt the same way... until I met my wife. She didn't care what I was."

I look at him and I felt like garbage. He is actually a good man. I don't think I want to kill him. "Bols... go to your family," I said.

He looks at me. "What?" He asked in surprise.

"I said: go to your family. You should be with them." I stood up and held my hand out to him. He took my hand as I pulled him up.

"I-I don't know what to say..." he stammered.

I chuckled at him. "If we both survive this; we're gonna meet at the pub in the Capital, and you're introducing me to your family."

Bols chuckle back at me. "Thank you." I nodded at him as I watched him limp away into the forest. I sigh to myself and walked the other direction.

Later, I was walking in the forest until I stumbled upon Lubbock and Chelsea. They noticed me and smiled. I smile back at them as I walked towards the two.

"Looks like we all survived." I grin at them.

Lubbock nodded, "yup! Now it's time to get back home." He smiled.

"Actually..." we both look at Chelsea. "I'm gonna go after Kurome."

Me and Lubbock's eyes widen. "Are you crazy?!" I exclaimed, "there's no way I'm letting you go aft-"

"I know which direction she went in... you can chase after her." Lubbock interrupted me as I glare at him, then looked back at Chelsea.

"You guys can't be serious..." I said in disbelief.

"If we let Kurome live; she'll come back with new dolls. That's more dangerous, isn't it?" She asked.

I was about to tell her to not do it, but I sighed in distress. "Fine... then I'll come with you." I look at Lubbock. "Go back and tell everyone that we're gone."

Lubbock nodded, "don't do anything reckless." He said before running off.

I look at Chelsea. "I'm becoming soft." She said.

I couldn't help but smile at her and placed my hand on her head. "There's nothing wrong with having a soft side," I said to her.

"But it shows weakness."

"Then show you're tough as steel."

Chelsea looks at me and smiled back. "Alright! Let's do this!" She cheered enthusiastically.

Chelsea was covered by clouds. When the clouds faded away, she... turned into Bols.

My eyes widen in shock. She killed him.

"You all right?" She asked, sounding exactly like Bols.

"I-It's nothing." I stuttered. "Let's just go find Kurome."

-Later-

I hid in a bush and watched Chelsea as Bols, talking to Kurome. I had Prometheus loaded and steadied my aim at Kurome's leg, just in case something and happens.

When Kurome hugged Chelsea as Bols, she stabbed a needle into Kurome's neck, then turned back into her regular self. I came out of my hiding place when Kurome fell to the ground.

"I can't believe she's dead." I consoled.

Chelsea looks at me. "Why so grim? You should be glad."

"I know I should... it's just that I've been with her long enough to actually see her like a daughter to me." I sighed.

"Well, look at the bright side... you still have me and Akame." Chelsea smiles at me.

"Yeah, but-"

"Hey..."

I turn around and saw Kurome back on her feet with her blade in her hand. I was in shock, this shouldn't be humanly possible.

"Chelsea, RUN!" I shouted and shot at Kurome to buy Chelsea time. I ran as well.

I was running alongside with Chelsea. "Fuck, fuck! I knew this was a bad idea!" I shouted.

Chelsea looks at me while running. "I can try transforming and-"

I saw her Chelsea's fingers sliced off, and her teigu shattered like glass.

I turn around and saw the blonde man who I heard Akame call Natala, and saw Doya chasing us.

"Shit!" Chelsea shouted.

We kept running until we found ourselves running towards a field of flowers. I saw Natala dash to Chelsea's side and sliced Chelsea's arm clean off.

"YOU FUCKER!" I shouted and shouted six bullets into Natala's skull as he fell to the ground. A bullet flew through Chelsea's chest. I saw Doya who had her gun aimed at her. I gritted my teeth and created multiple blades that flew and impaled into Doya.

I saw Chelsea fall to the ground, but I quickly caught her. Her head rested on my chest as I look down at her in fear.

"Chelsea!" I exclaimed. I looked down at Chelsea as she whimpers. I grabbed her hand and held it tight. "Chelsea, you're gonna be fine. Just stay with me."

I try to pick her up but didn't have the strength because of my burns and cuts. Chelsea's whimpering stopped and I felt the body go limp. I look at Chelsea.

"Chelsea... Chel..." I sniffled. I felt tears as I started cradling Chelsea. "Don't do this to me, Chel. Please don't do this to me..." I start bursting into tears.

This can't be happening... this can't be happening again. I stopped cradling Chelsea and put my hand over her eyes as they closed shut. I look up at Kurome who just stared at me, unfazed.

My grief turned into rage. "Kurome..." I gritted my teeth. I stood up and carried Chelsea in my arms. "I actually thought I could help you..." I exasperated.

"I know you did some horrible shit... but this! This is where I draw the line!" I shouted. Kurome just stared blankly.

"You sadistic!..." I couldn't say anything repulsive to her. Until I finally cracked. "You're dead to me." I turned around and ran off.

As I ran, I cried more tear. Chelsea's death broke my heart. Disowning Kurome somehow made it worse.

A/N:

Did I make Chelsea's death more emotional and tragic? I hope so... anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
