Hi everyone! This will be my third fanfic to write at the same time as my Avenger and Avatar story, so go check those out too! I just had so many ideas in my head I couldn't wait on any of them anymore! So sorry if chapters are slow going, although I have a lot written by hand for this story so far. As always please review my story! A lot of this one goes right along with the anime until I split it off into my own story. As you all know I don't anything that has to do with Akame Ga Kill. Everything belongs to its respected owners. Please review with your honest opinions, thanks!
"Little did Austen know his first day wasn't over yet. To Austen's relief the group finally began to descend after about ten minutes of flying. Below them he could see a figure sitting by a huge bonfire cooking a pig on a spit.
"Boss is back!" Baechle heard one of the girls cheer.
"Hello everyone, good to see you again." The new women greeted the group as they landed.
'This must be the leader of Night Raid.' Austen thought as he scanned the newest member. She was a beautiful women. Her jet black suit caused her short, snow-white hair to almost glow. She had a purple dragon tattoo going up the right side of her neck that seemed to pull Baechle's attention towards it. She wore an eye patch over her right eye, while her left was so green it glowed like an emerald. Her left arm was normal with the suit continuing to her wrist. While her whole right arm on the other hand was completely made of a shining silver metal.
"So, who is this string bean?" Boss asked eyeing Baechle.
"Boss, this is Austen. A swordsman from the country." Hannah answered putting an arm around his shoulders.
"He's promising?"
"He is." Hannah reassured her with a nod.
After a moments thought the women continued, "Very well. We'll continue in the meeting hall in ten. Dismissed."
Baechle was quickly led into the hideout which seemed to be forged into the side of a mountain. After a few urns the assassins settled into a well-lit meeting hall. Which looked like a living room to Baechle.
"Everyone stood while Boss sat in a large gold chair. She quietly listened to Tobar's report of the night's mission.
"I see, so that's the situation. Well than Austen, would you like to join Night Raid?"
Baechle stared at the women skeptically, "If I decline, I'm dead right?"
"No, that's not true at all." Austen looked at her surprised. "But that doesn't mean we can let you just simply leave either. We'll simply use you in our workshop. Regardless you won't be killed if you decline. With that in mind, what do you say?"
Austen stared at the ground, a mix of emotions confusing him. "I was supposed to come to the Imperial Capital and make a name for myself, so I could save my village from starvation. But the Capital was..."
"Austen," A muscular member interrupted. "This country is impoverished and suffers because the center is evil and corrupt. Don't you want to attack the problem at the root?"
"Just killing bad guys one at a time won't change the world will it?" Austen countered, still unconvinced. "At this rate, other places like my village won't be saved at all."
"Then you fit in even more perfectly with Night Raid." Boss said smiling.
"And why is that?"
"Far to the south of the Capital is the main camp of the Revolutionary Army, an anti-imperial force."
"Revolutionary Army?" Baechle repeated.
"The Revolutionary Army started small, but has grown into a large organization. The army needed a group to carry out covert operations, such as assassinations and gathering information. That's where we come in. Right now we're merely exterminating the Capital's ticks. Once we mobilize, we'll make use of the ensuing confusion to reach the corruption at its source, the Prime Minister, and kill him with our own hands. When that moment comes, this country will change." Boss said clenching her fist.
"And will this country treat its citizens well?" Baechle asked thinking hard.
"Of course. No one will live under a dictator ever again." Boss reassured proudly.
"Amazing! So the killing you do now it basically finding the bad guys can taking out the trash. In other words, you're assassins of justice!"
"The room burst into laughter, "What, what is it?" Baechle asked shocked. Almost every Night Raid member was laughing at Baechle's words.
"Baechle," Hannah began. "No matter how you spin it, we commit murder."
"There's no justice in something like that." A girl with long brown hair and a long bow slung over her shoulder added.
"Everyone here could die at any moment as retribution of our actions." The muscular warrior spoke up again.
"Each of us has a reason to fight. A reason to give the ultimate price. Do you have the resolve to do the same?" Boss asked resting her chin on her hands.
"I'll be compensated, won't I?" Austen asked, once again staring at the ground in thought.
"Aye. If you work hard, I'm sure you'll be able to save your village."
"Austen," The girl with black hair spoke up. "You realize you might never be able to return to your village again?"
"I do, but so long as everyone in the village can live in peace and happiness, it's worth it." The girl nodded, accepting his reasoning.
"Alright, my minds made up, I'll join Night Raid." Austen declared.
Boss smiled widely , "Welcome to a life of carnage. We are happy to add you to our ranks. Then with that this meeting is adjourned for the night. Emily, you will be the first to train Austen."
'Great, leave me alone with the chick who tried to kill me.' Austen thought glumly, glancing at the assassin.
"If he becomes a burden feel free to kill him." Boss added as she exited the room.
"Got it." Emily nodded.
"Don't say got it!"Baechle hissed at Emily who smirked back.
"Work hard so you don't die!" Hannah called over her shoulder as she left for her room.
"If my dangerous missions don't kill me my teammates will..." Austen muttered as he followed Emily to his rom.
Chapter three is already written, just gotta get it typed up. So be on the look out for that! Also got a chapter for Avengers so hopefully that will be up soon as well. Please review so I can get better as a writter, thanks!
