"Reserved rice, huh?" Lubbock said observing the scene "As expected of good guys"

Lubbock and Akame were currently hiding in a tree not far from a village where the political officer they're meant to protect is giving rice to the village.

"That amount should lift the people's spirit" Akame commented before her stomach started growling from hunger "Watching this makes me hungry"

Lubbock quickly reaches into pocket and pulls out some sort of snack bar "I'll give you this, but I'm counting on you when the enemy comes."

Akame looks blankly at Lubbock's snack. Instead of taking it, she bites Lubbock entire hand.

After moments of waiting, Lubbock checks his strings again "No reaction...looks like we're coming up empty."

"Don't let your guard down" Akame said taking another bite out of the snake Lubbock gave him.

"I know" Lubbock said seriously

Akame then looks at the sky "Tatsumi...Bulat...If the enemy is on your side...please...Make it through alive!"

The Ryuusen

Saling across waters, the giant red and gold ship known as The Ryuusen leaves the dock. The ship holds many people, each wearing a dress or suit. Wearing a suit himself, Tatsumi is one of those people. He looks and sees a short old man surrounded by guards "The old man I'm suppose to protect is surrounded by people"

Tatsumi relaxes "Assassinating him would be impossible" He declared confidently. "Looks like we're coming up empty-"

Before he could finish his sentence, an invisible figure punch him in the neck. This took Tatsumi by surprise "Huh, wh-what?"

"That's a touch call to make on your own, Tatsumi" A familiar voice spoke.

Tatsumi looked around, only to see no one around him. "Eh? Aniki?"

"My invisibility gives me the upper hand" Bulat said "After all, you never know what the enemy plans."

He realised Bulat was right. "That's true. I'm sorry Aniki." He then switched to another topic "How many times have you hit me?"

"Well, consider it tough love" Bulat replied "love..." He repeats again "love..." he repeats again while blushing under his armour.

"You don't have to say it three times!" Tatsumi said backing away a bit before getting serious again "At any rate, this armour sure is useful. Thanks to it, we were able to board the ship."

"Yeah!" Bulat said placing his hand on his chest "In the war against the south, I fought with this. It's like my partner. However..."

Bulat then proceeded to tell Tatsumi his backstory. The story how he was the superior was arrested since he didn't except the minister's bribe and how Bulat was set up as a criminal because apparently there was some jealousy towards him.

"Before they could do anything, I made my escape using this Imperial Arms." Bulat finished

"Unbelievable" was all Tatsumi could say about the Minister's action.

Suddenly, a spark of electricity sparked from Bulat's armour. "The invisibility is at it's limit. I have to take the armour off for a while."

"Don't they know your face, Aniki?" Tatsumi pointed out "Leave this area to me!"

"All right!" Bulat said before turning to leave "I'll go investigate inside the ship"

Moments after that, Everyone on board had moved inside including Tatsumi. As Tatsumi takes a drink, he looks around "If I see anyone suspicious, I won't let them get away. Well, I'm pretty suspicious looking myself..."

Tatsumi was about to drink when suddenly he heard a song of an instrument.

Tatsumi looked up "A flute?"

Sweets Amaenbou

"Bring your best sweets"

"Y-yes, Ma'am. Right away!"

Her servant goes back into the shop to fetch the requested item. Meanwhile, a women sits outside under the shade.

Across the street, on a roof, Leone watches as her instincts takes place "Because I'm in this form, I know. That her being alone is a trap for me. As evidenced by the evil I can smell radiating from her body"

(FLASHBACK)

"Esdeath is a homicidal maniac who enjoys slaughter. Be on your guard"

(FLASHBACK ENDS)

"Thinking I could kill her if I had an opening..." Leone thought "naive. This is frustrating, but I must follow my instincts and retreat!"

As Esdeath eats her sweet, she notices something "Hmm? one of their presence are gone. A pity, I had the perfect torture technique prepared for three."

She then notices something else as she looks at her ice-cream "This is pretty delicious. After the mission is finished, maybe I'll get some for them." She said as she thought about the three beast before going back on topic. "The only question now is...will the other two take the bait"

Meanwhile, on another roof, with their presence completely hidden and invisible, Sing-love and Jack watched the entire event go by.

"So she's the one and only Esdeath that you two have been telling me all about" Sing-love commented

"Yep" Jack said "Wave, Bols and Run will be easy. Dr Sylish, Kurome and Seryu will be...complicated. Esdeath on the other hand, is a completely different story. She's the only who can actually turn out plan into a failure"

"The plan sounded like a failure from the beginning" Sing-love said honestly "Are you sure you want to save someone like her?"

Jack looked at Sing-love and pointed at Esdeath "You used to be just like her"

"In what way?" Sing-love asked amusingly even thought she knew the answer.

"Hmm, let me think" Jack said sarcastically "How about the fact that both of you enjoy human slaughter? Esdeath has probably slaughtered just as many humans as you-"

"I doubt that." Sing-love said. "I can tell she has killed a lot of people but I've once wiped out an entire planet full of humans."

"How humble of you" Jack said sarcastically.

Sing-love looked at Esdeath who was still eating her ice-cream "Honestly, I don't see what makes her so scary."

"Easy for you to say." Jack commented "You're not human."

"Good point." Sing-love commented.

Jack suddenly realised something that made him worry.

Sing-love noticed Jack's troubled expression. "What's wrong?"

"I just realised a mistake in chapter 1." Jack said "I wrote that your kildcount was 30...but now that you mentioned it, you've probably killed billions and billions of people back in your world."

Sing-love just shrugged and looked at Esdeath. "Putting that aside, if this Esdeath character really is as heartless as you describe then why are we saving her?"

"Despite being a women who has mercilessly killed or tortured thousands of lives, The Jaegers still care about her and Esdeath cares about them." Jack explained "And as you know, since Jason is a picky guy and only wants the perfect happy ending, we have to save her."

"And how are we going to do that?" Sing-love asked

"Don't worry" Jack assured "Me and Jason have a plan."

"Does this plan involved taking a gamble?" Sing-love asked rhetorically. By now, Sing-love already knew how Jack's mind worked.

"Yep" Jack said casually without hesitation. "Esdeath isn't a person you can simply convince with mere words. Our plan to save her depends on luck. It may sound impossible but it's out only chance"

Sing-love sat down with her cheek leaning on her fist. She looked at Esdeath unimpressed "Honestly, this whole mission seems impossible."

"You're right about that. The more we dive into this, the more complicated it's going to get." Jack stated before sighing "Ara-ara."

Sing-love half grinned at Jack when he said that "Did you just say Ara-ara?"

"Yeah, what about it?" Jack asked.

"You've been hanging around Kurumi too much."

The Ryuusen

Leaning against a table, Tatsumi was now on his knees barely standing. "What the hell is happening?" He place his hand on his ear. "Is it the music?"

The ship had now passed the urban areas in other words, the ship was no longer visible from the shores. As soon as the song started playing, Tatsumi struggled to stay standing.

It was strange, as soon as the flute started playing, Tatsumi felt all his energy and willpower drain away from his body.

The flute continued playing and Tatsumi was now the only man still standing. Everyone else was laying on the floor, their bodies not moving. Overall, everyone was completely debilitated.

Gritting his teeth and forcing himself the get up, Tatsumi slowly limped "Have to go outside!"

Tatsumi walked outside to try get away from the sound but it proved worthless. Tatsumi closed his eyes and tried covering his ears but still that didn't work. "Even outside, I can hear-"

Tatsumi didn't finished his sentence as he tripped over something causing him to fall. He fell on his face "Oww! What was-"

He stopped when he realised he didn't trip over something...he tripped over someone. Tatsumi looked at the person he tripped over who was laying on the floor not moving an inch. Tatsumi assumed the figure was a female because of the black hair that leaked out from her hood. She's head and stomach was facing the floor. She wore a black jacket that went from her neck to her legs. She was wearing a hood so Tatsumi couldn't see her face or even the back of her head. The person seemed to be unconscious but Tatsumi was focused on something else.

Tatsumi's eyes widened a bit as he saw, on the back of the women's jacket, was a white star.

(FLASHBACK)

"She stood in front of me where I laid on the ground so I couldn't see all the details. But she was definitely...not normal."

"Not normal?" Tatsumi asked Mine. Everyone else also had the same question.

"Her skin was...was so pale and her blue eyes glowed in the dark. I only saw her back but she wore a black jacket with a white star on the back."

(FLASHBACK ENDS)

It was definitely wasn't coincidence. Who else would wear a black jacket with a white star on the Ryuusen.

Tatsumi's eyes widened a bit as he just realised something. He placed all the puzzles pieces and came to an conclusion. She was the one who saved Sheele and Mine. She must've came to help Bulat and him to kill the night raid imposters but was affected by the song of the flute.

Tatsumi really wanted to help the hooded women and repay her for saving his comrades but thanks to the song, he could barely help himself.

He knew this wasn't normal. A flute that could drain people's energy was certainly not normal. "This must be an Imperial Arm."

"Oh! Looks like someone's still struggling." Said an unfamiliar voice.

Tatsumi turned around to face the the voice. Emerging from the shadows was a large muscular man. He had long, spiky blond hair and pure white, pupil-less eyes.

"If you'd fallen asleep like your friend over there, I would have left you alone."

Tatsumi easily put two and two together and knew who he was. "Then you must be the Night Raid Imposters."

For some reason, the blonde was pretty happy to hear that. He chuckled "So you're a real one eh? This is great. Here you go."

The muscular man then threw a sword at Tatsumi which he caught.

Tatsumi didn't really understand why a man would give the enemy a weapon. "What are you doing?"

"Well..." the man started reaching for the weapon that was on his back. "I want to fight to gain experience,"

He pulled out a double sided axe, he got into battle positions before declaring. "in order to become the strongest. Come at me!"

The real Night raid member finally understood and accepted his challenge. "Ah, I see. Then I'll give you some experience..." Tatsumi pulled out his sword and jumped in the air towards the fake night raid member. "And send you to hell!"

Once again, the muscular blonde seemed excited "Excellent! How Vigorous!" He raised his axe "Destroying you will be well worth it!"

Tatsumi saw the attack coming and moved back just in time to dodge when the man swung his axe downwards. The axe created a small crater on the floor of the ship.

Tatsumi moved back, his feet slid across the floor before he stopped.

The blonde grinned widely. "Given what the music did to your body, I'm impressed that you dodge. In that case..."

The man's axe suddenly split into two pieces. One axe in each hand. "How's this?!"

The blonde pulled back his arm and threw one of his axe was tremendous strength. The axe spin dangerously like a Frisbee and headed towards Tatsumi.

With the effects of the song still active on his body, Tatsumi ducked barely dodge the axe. However, the spinning axe reverted back light a boomerang and headed towards Tatsumi again.

Tatsumi moved to the side again however the axe still manage to land a cut on Tatsumi's stomach, drawing blood. The man caught his axe as it returned to him.

Tatsumi placed his hand on his stomach ignoring the pain. "So that's your Imperial Arm."

"The Imperial Arms Great Double Axe: Belvark." The man answered before Tatsumi could ask. He pulled back his arm "Not just anyone can just wield this weapon!"

He threw the axe once again, this time landed another deep cut on Tatsumi's cheek as he tried to dodged.

Just like before, the axe reverted back like a boomerang and headed towards Tatsumi.

"If that's how it is..." Tatsumi said standing upright. He started sprinting in the man's direction. The spinning axe continued to follow Tatsumi as he sprinted towards the muscular blonde, his face filled with determination. "I'll make it hit you! Destroy yourself!"

The fake Night Raid member grinned widely, showing more of his teeth.

Suddenly, a guy came out of nowhere and delivered an uppercut to Tatsumi's face sending him flying into the sky. (Not literally)

"ARE YOU STUPID?!" Bulat yelled while the blonde muscular man just stared a bit confused.

Tatsumi placed his hand over his mouth and nose which was bleeding from Bulat's attack. He just stared at Bulat as he scolded him.

"The opponent was clearly ready for your attack!" Bulat said angrily while pointing at Tatsumi "No matter how you look at it, he would've won! What are you doing, plunging in like-"

Bulat stopped when he realised the unconscious hooded women laying on the floor near when Tatsumi was. Bulat saw the white star on the back of her jacket. "She's-"

"The one who saved Mine and Sheele." Tatsumi answered still recovering from Bulat's uppercut.

"You..." The blonde man said once he had processed the events that just happened. He pointed his axe at Bulat. "You're awfully chipper."

Bulat turned his head to looked at the man as he continued talking. "The debilitating music should have affected the entire ship."

"Oh, that's what it was..." Bulat said fully turning around to face the man. "Then it wouldn't work on me."

"Huh?"

A fiery aura surrounded Bulat's body. "The hot blood that courses through my body isn't something that others can calm!"

It was then the man realised something on Bulat's leg that shocked him a bit. "This guy..."

"What an interesting guy!" the man said smiling once again. "You physically injured yourself to stop the brainwashing effect, huh?"

"I am Bulat, of Night Raid. But you can call me Handsome."

"I am Lady Esdeath's servant, Daidara, of the three beast."

"Move that women to a safer area." Bulat ordered Tatsumi referring to the hooded women laying on the floor.

Tatsumi didn't object and got up. "Hai!"

He picked up the women carrying her by shoulder. It was then, Tatsumi got a good look at the women's face. Her eyes were closed and her whole body felt like a ragged doll and she was surprisingly light. Mine had already told Tatsumi about her skin but he was still surprised to see that her skin was actually pale.

Tatsumi decided to worry about that later and move the women to place where she won't get hurt. He turned around and walked-

"Tatsumi."

The beginner Night Raid Member stopped and looked back at Bulat.

"Pay close attention to how I fight, and burn it into your memory."

Tatsumi stared at Bulat with admiration "Aniki."

Bulat smiled before facing Daidara. He placed his hand on the floor and yelled "INCURSIO!"

A ring of fire emerged from the floor with Bulat in the middle. The armour appeared above Bulat before it equiped itself to Bulat creating a tornado around him as it was equipping itself.

Bulat pulled out a spear with a red blade on the end of it and swung it, clearing the mini tornado that was around him.

Daidara could sense the power radiating from Bulat yet for some reason it made him excited. "Looks like I can get some great experience!"

At that moment, Daidara and two other figures jumped at Bulat at the same time from all different directions.

Tatsumi saw this and yelled to warn him "ANIKI!"

One of the figures was a boy with blond hair and golden eyes. "I've got this." the boy thought. "I'll bash his head in-"

He didn't get to finishes his thought as Bulat suddenly disappeared. In one moment, Bulat elbowed the boy in the stomach, kicked the second figure who blocked with his arms but still got sent back crashing into the wall and chopped Daidara vertically in half.

While still carrying the hooded women, Tatsumi looked in amazement.

"Tatsumi," Bulat said as it rained Daidara's blood. "This is what I meant before. About being aware of your surroundings."

Wide eyed, Tatsumi processed what he just witness. "He killed the big one, and still dealt with the other two. All in a single movement."

"Aniki, I knew you strong, but you're incredible!" Tatsumi praised.

"That's right." Bulat said turning to look at Tatsumi. "Back when I was solider, my nickname was: Hundred-Man Slayer Bulat."

Before Tatsumi could comment on how cool that was when-

"To be accurate, it was one hundred and twenty-eight people."

Bulat and Tatsumi looked as the man continued.

"You were up against the special forces, and you did well. That Imperial Arm, that strength. So it is you Bulat."

Under the helmet of his armour, Bulat's eyes widened in shock as the man emerged from the smoke. The man had gray hair worn in a long ponytail, blue eyes and a mustache. "You are...General Liver."

Meanwhile, Esdeath continues to eat her ice-cream. She was currently thinking about what flavours the Three Beast would like.

That wasn't the only thing she was thinking about. The presences of two individuals were still spying on her but they haven't done anything yet.

She came to an conclusion that they were just spies since she couldn't sense a killer intent from them.

However, she could feel their eyes glaring at her.

Esdeath clicked her tongue "Men."

On the roof of a building, Sing-love and Jack continued to observe Esdeath.

Sing-love was just normally watching Esdeath waiting to see what she would do next considering Esdeath probably knows that they were spying on her. Jack on the other hand, was staring intensely, hungrily, fervently, at Esdeath's...ice-cream.

Jack licked his lips. "That ice-cream looks tasty."

Sing-love sweat dropped. "Are you serious?"

"I am no longer a general." Liver declared. "After Lady Esdeath saved me, I became her servant."

"Huh? Could this be the guy from Aniki's story?" Tatsumi thought.

The Incursio user stared at the man with contempt. The man who once used to be one of his greatest companions. The man Bulat had fought many battles together with. The man Bulat thought was dead.

Bulat knew what he had to do. He stared spinning his spear "If we'd been on the same side, we could've had a drink to celebrate the reunion." He stopped spinning his spear, he raised his weapon and pointed it at Liver. "But since you resurfaced as my enemy, I must kill you. I must complete the mission!"

"That is my line. The mission must be carried out..." Liver said taking off one of his gloves revealing a ring. "With this Imperial Arm my master bestowed upon me!"

Liver raised his arm. Suddenly, the water contained in wooden barrels bursted out of their containers and and raised to the air.

"The Imperial Arm Black Marlin! Created from the organs of an aquatic Danger Beast that controls water." Liver explained "Thus, it's user can freely manipulate any liquid surrounding them. It's immensely fortunate that my battle with you two takes place here!" He said referring to the fact that they were on a boat the middle of large body of water.

"A water controller huh?" Bulat commented. "Appropriate for the servant of one who controls ice."

"Lady Esdeath can create ice from nothing." Liver countered "She is on a completely different level."

Liver made a fist with his hand and punched it towards Bulat. "It's awe-inspiring! WATER SPIRIT CANNON!"

All the pillars of water suddenly moved on it's own and fired themselves at Bulat.

"How brazen!" Bulat yelled as he started spinning his spear rapidly in his hands until it was juts a blur.

The pillars of water clashed with Bulat's spear. By spinning his spear rapidly, he formed a shield blocking the attack.

While that was happening, the boy with blonde hair from earlier who was elbowed in the stomach by Bulat was just getting up. "Ow, Ow, Ow...That guy's strength is roughly second to Lady Esdeath's...But since were in water, Liver can defeat him."

The boy stood up and took out his flute. "I should back him up, too."

"HOLD IT!"

The boy look up only too see Tatsumi falling towards him with his sword. The boy used his flute to block Tatsumi's sword creating a loud TING sound.

"I won't just sit back and let him protect me!" Tatsumi said

"This guy..." The boy began before looking at the hooded women who was now laying unconscious on the ground. "You abandon your comrade just to get in my way."

The boy pushed Tatsumi back causing Tatsumi to jumped back.

"Night Raid...You're getting too cocky!" He said before charging at Tatsumi swinging his flute.

Tatsumi raised his sword and blocked each attack. His flute and Tatsumi's sword clashed multiple times, the sound echoing through the field.

The blonde then pulled back his arm and rapidly released a fury of attacks. His arms moved so fast that you couldn't even see his arms any more.

Tatsumi raised his sword to block the series of attacks but he still struggled. The boy grinned as Tatsumi gritted his teeth. He gathered straight and swung his sword at the blonde.

The imposter unexpectedly did a front flip over Tatsumi and then kicked him multiple times in the back.

As Tatsumi fell towards the ground. "Damn, he's ridiculously fast..." He landed on his hands and was ready to get back up. "However..."

He instantly got back up and sprinted at the flute user. The blonde charged at Tatsumi as well and their weapons clashed once again.

This time, they were both equally fast. Both of them swung their weapons so fast that it was hard to keep up or even see their arms. The sound of metal clashing rapidly against each other was all that could be heard.

"Akame is faster!"

"Hmph! Don't compare me to a mere assassin!"

They both swung their weapons with more strength this time creating a loud CLANG before jumping back.

They both panted for breathe. Both had different thoughts about the other but blushed them aside. They readied their weapons and charged at each other.

Esdeath continues to eat her ice-cream as she waits.

It seems the people spying on her had given up on trying to hide themselves for she could even hear their voices talking to each other.

She couldn't completely hear what they were saying since they were far away but she knew they were probably talking about something serious.

Esdeath laughed softly "They're probably trying to find my weekness or a way to defeat me. It's useless, I have no weekness after all. They should just give up."

On the roof of a building, Sing-love and Jack continue to observe Esdeath. As they do, Jack brings up a very serious topic that they needed to talk about.

"Have you ever eaten ice-cream before?" Jack asked with a serious expression.

Sing-love placed her hand on her chin and thought about the question. "Actually, Gibson has treated me with Ice-cream...it tasted really sweet." she answered remembering the romantic times she has had with Gibson. "Why you ask?"

"When you eat ice-cream...do you lick it or bite it?"

Sing-love thought about the question. "Well...I personally prefer to lick the ice-cream. How about you?"

"I bite the ice-cream." Jack replied. "Although I don't understand why people lick the ice-cream."

"Ice-cream is usually something you want to savour which is why you lick it." Sing-love answered "If you bite it, you'll finish the ice-cream too quickly. If you licking the ice-cream, you can taste the ice-cream longer."

"Good point." Jack said with a face full of contempt. With a straight face he replied "Hmm...but how are you suppose to finish it? Licking an ice-cream would take forever to finish. Wouldn't it just end up melting?"

Sing-love looked at the sky and thought about Jack's question. "Well, of course you wouldn't lick the whole thing. I guess if you've had enough, you can just eat the rest. Although, I still think Ice-cream should be savoured instead of being eaten like an actual meal."

"I guess in the end, it depends on the type of ice-cream."

"Does it depend on the type of ice-cream or the type of person?" Sing-love asked.

Jack placed his hand on his chin and search for an answer. "I think it's both. I guess it's all just an opinion."

"Yeah, I guess you right about that."

"..."

"You know a sunny egg? Do you eat the yellow bit first, the white bit first or do you eat them together?"

"DARK STREAM SPEAR!"

Multiple pillars of water emerged from the ocean and landed a direct hit on Bulat's back as he was in mid-air.

Bulat screamed in pain as the his helmet began cracking into pieces revealing his face.

As Bulat fell from the sky. "Splashing some water around" Bulat said turning his body to face Liver. "Won't be enough to quench my revolve!"

Liver landed back on the boat. "That's right. This won't surfice to defeat you."

Bulat prepared for the worst.

"I am well aware of that. We have been countless of battles together. Your strength and determination...I understand them better than anyone."

Liver raised his hand that contained the ring. "And that's preciously why I'll have you feast on my greatest technique!"

"WATER DRAGON'S DIVINE CONQUEST!"

Multiple water dragons charged at Bulat as he was in the air. Bulat was engulfed in a pillar of water while constantly being attacked by water dragons.

After hearing Bulat yell in pain...it went quiet.

It rained a little thanks to the attack. Liver looked. "Is he dead?"

His eyes widened as he sensed something coming from the sky.

"If it's ever in question. You haven't defeated your enemy!" Bulat yelled as he came falling down, his spear punted directly at Liver.

Liver was utterly shocked "He survived it!"

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Bulat cried out as he was about to deliver the final blow to Liver.

Suddenly, the boy from before came charging in towards Bulat.

Bulat saw it coming and successfully landed a hit on the boy's stomach. However, he missed his chance to kill Liver.

Bulat landed on the floor of the ship and looked. Despite his injury, he giggled "That's too bad...you missed your chance to kill Liver."

"A-aniki."

Bulat turned around to see Tatsumi laying on the floor with bruises all over his body. "Tatsumi?"

"Forgive me, Aniki...I wasn't able to hold him off long enough."

"Don't worry about it." Bulat said as his armour disappeared, revealing cuts and wounds all over Bulat's body. "Your survival, after fighting without an Imperial Arms, is impressive enough."

"Aniki." Tatsumi said looking at Bulat's injuries. "He was even injured within the armour."

"After sustaining sufficient damage, your Imperial Arm appears to release." Liver pointed out. "We're almost finishes."

"Heh," Bulat chuckled. "don't act tough. You're bleeding from your ears, Liver."

True to his word, blood started spilling from Liver's ears.

"After pulling off those tremendous moves, your body must be worn out." Bulat exposed while giving a small smile. "You're in no condition to use your Imperial Arms, either."

"If that's revealed, there's no help for it." Liver said. A small drop of blood was now seen below Liver's mouth. "I wanted to negotiate from a higher vantage point,"

Liver closed his eyes for a short moment as he thought about his next words. He open his eyes. "but I'll simply ask. Bulat, do you have any interest in joining Lady Esdeath's army? Since it's you, a second-in-command rank would be conceivable."

"I have no interest in serving the empire anymore." Bulat replied without hesitation.

"Not the empire. Think of it as serving Lady Esdeath." Liver held the black cross which symbolised his loyalty to Esdeath. "That was the way I was saved...You could do as you please, and be feared by all."

Liver suddenly grabbed the black cross with his entire hand and his face grew dark. "That's right. Even those fitly politics officials, spreading their tainted philosophy, would bow down to you!"

Bulat remained silent as Liver spoke.

"Come with me, Bulat!" Liver concluded. "Lady Esdeath can expunge your crimes!"

"I refuse." Bulat spoke once again with no hesitation. He pulled out a comb and started combing his hair. "You may be comfortable with your current position, considering how you feel about politics officials."

Bulat closed his comb. "But I am a defender of the people. If I were to join the Esdeath Army that's working with the minister..." He pointed his comb at Liver and smiled. "I wouldn't be able to say that anymore."

"Defender of the people?" Liver repeated as thought he didn't hear it the first. "Not something I'd expect to hear from an assassin."

"That's why I tried to say it with humility." Bulat replied putting his comb away.

Tatsumi stood up, his wounds still taking a toll on him. "Aniki..." He observed the battle field. "If two Imperial Arms users battles one another, It's certain that only one will survive."

Bulat stared at Liver. "Since neither of us can use out Imperial Arms..."

"We'll settle this with out swords." Liver finished for him.

An object that looked like some sort of needle, fell out of Liver's sleeve. He jabbed the needle into his neck inserting the green serum into his body.

This action manage to take Bulat off guard for a moment.

"I'll be enhancing my strength." Liver got ready to battle. "Since you're my opponent after all."

Tatsumi didn't like the sound of that and warned Bulat. "Ah, Aniki! This guy's dangerous!"

Bulat on the other hand, didn't seem scared at all "I'm well prepared to face a formidable opponent."

Bulat pressed a button on his shoulder causing a sword to launch out and boomerang back into Bulat's hand. "Here I come!"

With a sword in their hand, both Bulat and Liver sprinted at each other. Their swords clashed once creating a loud CLANG noise, before rapidly swinging them.

Their movements were so quick that you couldn't even see their swords anymore. The wind gathered, blowing in all direction just because of the sword fight.

Both Liver and Bulat let out war cries as they swung their swords.

Tatsumi spectated the fight. "These can't be an injured person's movements..."

Their swords clashed multiple times. Again and again, the sound of metal clanging echoed through the field.

Then, Bulat pulled back and charged towards Liver with all his strength while Liver did the same.

Once again, with full force, their swords clashed. This time both Liver and Bulat applied all their strength against the other person turning the entire duel into a contest of strength.

Both were equal until Bulat pushed his limits and let out a war cry. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Bulat overpowered Liver as he managed to break Liver's sword into pieces and land a critical hit across Liver's chest. Blood spattered out of Liver's wound and mouth.

Tatsumi was filled with relief. "YES!"

Suddenly, Tatsumi felt the wind of someone sprinting past him. It took him a split second to realise it and looked.

Tatsumi's eyes widened as he realised the person who sprinted past him was the hooded woman from earlier.

Black sprinted until she was right in front of Bulat facing Liver and summoned her black blade.

Bulat was just as surprised. "Your-" Bulat didn't finished his sentence as he saw Liver grinned evilly.

"Hidden Technique: Blade of Blood!"

All the blood that came of Liver's body suddenly gathered together into little spheres because firing themselves at Black and Bulat.

Bulat's eyes widened "So you had something up your sleeve!"

Black on the other hand remained calmed, with her hood still over her head, she immediately raised her katana and rapidly swung it deflecting the blades of blood.

However, since Bulat was Liver's target, some of the blood manage to get past Black and fired at Bulat.

Fortunately, Bulat prepared for it. He raised his swords and deflected the blood that came his way.

Tatsumi didn't like where this was going. "ANIKI!"

Both Black and Bulat swung their swords rapidly. Each time their sword clashed with a drop of blood felt like they were deflecting a barrage of bullets.

Bulat let out a war cry as he once again ignored his injuries and fatigue by swing his sword.

Black's face showed no emotion as she swung her black sword just as fast as Bulat.

After hearing the sound of blades clashing countless times...it went silent.

Bulat stabbed his sword into the ground and leaned on it, panting for air.

Tatsumi slowly walked towards Bulat. "A-are you alright, Aniki?"

"These wounds aren't fatal..." Bulat replied. "Don't worry...it's her you should be worrying about."

Liver processed what happened as he fell towards the floor. "An attack that uses your own life force...To think they withstood it...Impressive."

Liver landed on the floor on his back, his body not moving an inch.

Bulat and Tatsumi both looked at the mysterious hooded women. It was then they realised his blue circular eyes. There was no doubt about it, this person was the same person who saved Sheele and Mine.

"The flute should've affected her body yet she looks fine. Wasn't she-" Tatsumi thought before his eyes widened a bit as he placed two and two together. "Wait, don't tell me she..."

"Pretended to out cold this entire time, waiting for the right moment to strike." Bulat finishing Tatsumi's sentence. "Good things she did, if I'd misjudge even for a second, I would've lost. The moment I saw him spewing blood, I realized that was a form of liquid."

Filled with relief, Tatsumi picked Bulat up carrying him by the shoulders. "Good thinking, Aniki!" Tatsumi then looked at the the mysterious hooded women who was emotionlessly staring back them.

He then realised the women's injuries. Some of the blood must've pierced her skin while they were deflecting the blades of blood.

Tatsumi wanted to ask if she was alright and thank her when-

"Bulat..."

Black, Tatsumi and Bulat looked back at Liver.

"There's one last thing." Liver held the black cross that he wore on his chest. "The real reason I decided to join Esdeath's army."

Liver then explained how on day Esdeath went to his cell asking him to join her army. He told them how Esdeath said that it would be a waste if Liver would to rot in jail and how no one would oppose any of Esdeath's wishes.

(FLASHBACK)

"Come to my side, Liver. If there's anything else troubling you I will make it all disappear."

(FLAHSBACK ENDS)

"Simply put, I idolised her. That's all." Liver finished.

"Liver..." was all Bulat could say.

Liver sat back up. "Therefore...As someone who exists solely to serve Lady Esdeath, I will make sure your life will be taken!"

Right on cue, Black coughed out blood which made Tatsumi worry.

"Hey! Are you alright!?" Tatsumi exclaimed.

Bulat's eyes widened as he finally figured it out. "That vial before wasn't merely to enhance his strength...it was also a deadly poison."

Tatsumi looked back at Liver.

"The poison will course through your comrade's body. Your friend cannot be saved... Nyau, the rest is up to you. I will...be going...ahead."

Those were his last words as he fell to the ground and closed his eyes.

Clouds started to gather in the sky as rain started to put down.

Black started to viciously coughed up more blood and fell to her knees.

Tatsumi began to worry. "We have to hurry and get her help!"

"Tatsumi..." Bulat said in a serious tone still being carried by Tatsumi. "The battle isn't over yet remember."

Tatsumi then remembered the third fake Night Raid. He looked over to Nyau who was playing his flute.

"I have to admit, you caught me off guard when your friend did that little trick of hers." The boy said playing his flute. "But did you really think the Blade of Blood was our trump card? Wrong." Nyau said walking towards them. "I am the real trump card."

"Secret Technique: Demon Summon."

Suddenly, his muscles grew larger and every part of his body grew in size. What used to be a boy now looked like a large muscular man.

"My Imperial Arm Scream's purpose isn't only to affect others. It can also be used to affect my own body."

Tatsumi looked at the Fake Night Raid "He increased his strength...So this is his secret technique."

Bulat looked at Nyau's new form. "This isn't good. There's still one left and I'm in no shape to to use Incursio again." Bulat looked at Tatsumi "Unless..."

Meanwhile Jason was spectating from a distance and was thinking of something else. "Oh yeah...I forgot he was a boy."

"Ah, It's been a while since I've changed into this form." Nyau said to himself.

Tatsumi put down Bulat and raised his sword pointing it at Nyau. "This is bad. He beat me earlier...what can I do alone?"

"Don't worry."

Tatsumi and Bulat gasped as they heard the voice was inside his head. They then looked at the hooded women who had stop coughing but was still on her knees.

"I'll kill him." Black said. She stood back up and went in front of Tatsumi before raising her head to look at Nyau. She pointed her sword at Nyau.

As soon as Nyau understood Black's goal, he laughed. "Hahahaha! That's impossible...Simply impossible. The poison was designed to kill any human no matter how powerful they are. If I were you, I wouldn't fight since you'll be dead either way."

Tatsumi gritted his teeth, he hate to admit but he had a point. Right now, Bulat was injured and the women was poisoned. Tatsumi was the only one who could still fight. He hardened the grip on his sword and prepared for battle.

"Tatsumi wait." Bulat said before Tatsumi could make a move. "Look."

Tatsumi looks at the the hooded women.

Black seemed unfazed by Nyau's words. She just continued to stare at Nyau with an emotionless expression which creeped out Nyau.

But the most shocking thing was that she seemed to be just fine now. Seconds ago, she was coughing her guts out but now she's completely.

Black then raised her hand towards the sky. Her glove started glowing as small particles and pieces of metal formed out of nothing and combined together two form a black cannon.

The sight of her weapon was enough to wipe the smug on Nyau's face. "She had an Imperial Arm?"

Without warning, Black aimed her cannon and fired 5 slamming rocks at Nyau.

Nyau instinctively moved the attack causing Black's bullets to fire into the water.

"So that's how you want to play huh?" Nyau commented before he charged at Black.

Black fired more shots from her cannon which Nyau dodge. When he was in close range, Nyau pulled back his fist and threw is at Black.

In a blink of an eye, Black moved her cannon and used it to block Nyau's fist. A wave of wind hit Tatsumi when they collided.

After a second, a small crater appeared below Black's feet but she didn't budge.

"She's stronger then she looks." Nyau thought. It was clear that he had underestimated his opponent.

With her katana in her other hand, Black swung her weapon horizontally at Nyau. Nyau jumped back just in time to dodge but Black still manage to land a small cut across Nyau's stomach.

Nyau gritted his teeth in annoyance as he charged again throwing his large fist at Black. Once again, Black blocked with her cannon however this time Nyau threw his other fist knocking Rock's katana out of her hand.

A cut was now visible on Nyau's fist and was drawing blood but at least Black's katana was out of the way. Nyau grinned as he was about to throw his other fist at Black's face.

But before he could do that, Black duck down low and punched Nyau right in the stomach...hard.

Nyau's mouth went wide open as he felt pain move through his body. Nyau clutched his stomach leaving him wide open.

Using the momentum, Black swung her cannon smashing it into Nyau's head.

Nyau was sent back flying, crashing into the crates that was on the ship.

All Tatsumi and Bulat could do was watch in awe. This mysterious hooded women was handling Nyau like he was nothing without getting a single scratch on herself.

Nyau was now really angry. Not only was this women fast but she was strong too. Out of anger, he clenched his fist hard charged once more at Black with all his strength.

Tatsumi could feel the impact from each step Nyau took. He could tell this attack was going to powerful. Tatsumi looked back at the women and too his surprise, the women remained completely still and the emotionless stare never left her face.

'Watch out, his going to-"

"No." Bulat said interrupting Tatsumi. He saw something in Black's eyes. After having many experiences in battle, Bulat had already seen that type of stare before. "She's already won."

"GO AHEAD AND DIE! NIGHT RAID!" Nyau screamed as he got closer to Black. He let out a war cry and he threw his fist at Black expecting it to fit.

Black then bent down low before jumping high doing a front flip over Nyau's head causing Nyau's fist to hit the air.

Nyau's eyes widened. "S***!"

Upside down, still in mid-air, Rock aimed his cannon... and fired.

The bullet went right through Nyau's chest leaving a gaping hole in it.

Nyau's pupils had gone completely white as he reverted back into his original form and fell to the ground.

The rain continued to pour down as silenced filled the ship. Tatsumi was absolutely amazed and speechless. He just stared at Nyau's body while Bulat felt the same.

Tatsumi finally snapped out of his daydreamed and faced the hooded women. But before he could say anything, some sort of a blue and white vortex or portal appeared.

As though she was expecting it, the hooded women walked towards the portal.

When Tatsumi realised she was leaving. "Wait!"

The women stopped and turned to look at Tatsumi with the emotionless stare that never left her face.

Tatsumi gulped as though a heap of pressure was pilled on to him. He had finally met the one who save Mine and Sheele. He wanted to thank her. He had so many questions to asks and yet...all he could do was gulped and ask.

"W-who are you?"

The women remained silent. It seems she was debating whether to answer or not.

After a moment of tense silence. Tatsumi heard a voice speak into his head.

"Black Rock Shooter."

After that the women enter the portal and disappeared.

The rain continued to pour down as Tatsumi processed that name. Just when Tatsumi was getting used to things, it had to get even more complicated and confusing. Tatsumi just stared at the place where the women once stood. The same women who had saved not only Mine and Sheele but Bulat and Tatsumi as well.

Whoever this women was, Night Raid owned her greatly.

His train of thought was interrupted when he suddenly heard someone cough viciously.

Tatsumi turned around to see that it was Bulat.

"Aniki?"

"Darn, I guess these injuries are finally getting to me." Bulat coughed more.

"Aniki...Aniki!" Tatsumi ran towards Bulat.

"We got lucky this time." Bulat thought as he slowly lost consciousness. "But Tatsumi...I was right when I said it. You definitely show potential."

"Aniki! Aniki!"

As Bulat closed his eyes, the last thing he saw was Tatsumi running towards him.

"ANIKI!"

"Well, we better hurry." Jack said finally getting up.

"Why?" Sing-love asked who was really bored. "From what I've seen, all we've been doing to stalk the most dangerous person on this planet for absolutely no reason."

"That is true." Jack replied. "But if we don't hurry now, we'll miss the next episode."

Sing-love raised an eyebrow. "And why is that a bad thing?"

"The Jaegers are going to form soon." Jack said grinning evilly. "and trust me, it's not something you want to miss."

Night Raid's Base

The door to the training grounds flew open.

"Someone, train with me!" Mine said raising her hand as soon as she entered the training grounds.

With sweat all over his body, Tatsumi did another push-up. "Hey...Mine..."

"You've recovered. That's great." Akame said who continued to sit on top of Tatsumi's back casually.

Mine just stared. "What are you doing?"

"Oh hey Mine!"

Mine turned around to see Sheele on a wheelchair and Bulat spectating. Mine was so eager into getting back into training that she totally did not notice the two.

"Glad to see you up again." Bulat said.

Mine looked at Bulat, he had bandages wrapped around his leg, his chest and arms. "You should worry about yourself for once."

"Hallo Mine." Sheele greeted.

Mine smiled and looked at Sheele. "Hey Sheele! How are your injuries holding up."

Sheele smiled back. "Very good. I can already move my arms and back. I should be heal fully soon."

Mine looked at Sheele as she remembered what she was told.

(FLASHBACK)

"How is she doctor?" Mine asked.

The doctor snapped out of his daydream and replied. "Oh umm...S-she's doing great. She's recovering drastically and should be able to move soon."

Mine noticed the doctor was a bit shaky. "Is something wrong?"

"Oh no. I-it's nothing." Doctor replied waving his hands in his defence. "It's just..."

"Just what?"

"With all due respect. Sheele's recovery is almost... unbeilable. I mean, she was shot in the chest with a bullet...t-that's usually enough to paralyse someone for life...or even kill them."

(FLASHBACK ENDS)

Mine shrugged off her thought and returned to her question. "What are you guys doing?"

"These guys were so gung-ho about training, so were helping them out." Leone answered.

Tatsumi did another push up. "I wasn't able... to do anything during the fight...against the three... Which almost got Aniki killed. I realised how much of a heavy weight I am to you guys... I need to train my body and maybe...just maybe an Imperial Arm will accept me."

Mine just stared at Tatsumi not realising her face was turning a bit red.

Bulat was proud to hear that. "That's the spirit Tatsumi! More training and you'll definitely achieve great things!"

Sheele softly clapped. "I'll be cheering you on."

Mine looked over to Lubbock who was doing the same thing as Tatsumi only with Leone on his back. "I rarely see you drenched in sweat, Lubbock."

Lubbock smiled as she struggled with his push-ups. "I can't let Tatsumi have all the attention. I also figured I should start putting in more effort."

"Good job, sounding cool." Leone said closing one eye. "But you realise you've only done half as many push-ups as Tatsumi."

Lubbock stared back at her as he wanted to say something but decided not to say it.

"That can't be helped." Akame said with a straight face. "Since Leone and I have a major weight disparity."

Lubbock, Mine, Tatsumi, Sheele and Bulat froze each wearing their own unique, scared and shocked expression.

In the blink of an eye, Leone zoomed towards Akame and pushed her right in the head. Smoke steamed from Leone's fist while Akame held her head. Mine stared dumbfounded.

"You're all here."

Everyone looked to where the familiar voice came from.

"Boss..."

Everyone circled Najenda to hear what she wanted to say.

"I'm going to Revolutionary Army Headquarters to deliver the Imperial Arms we confiscated from the Three." Najenda replied.

"Alone?" Tatsumi asked. "That axe is ridiculously heavy, though."

"Oh, I can handle this much." Najenda replied. She took out the axe and showed it to everyone. "Here. It isn't possible to use as a weapon, but transporating it isn't an issue."

Tatsumi whispered, although everyone could still hear what he was saying, something to Lubbock. "The boss is amazing like the rest of you?"

Lubbock stared back at Tatsumi like he was an idiot. "Obviously. You know she was a general, right?"

Najenda was really pleased to hear that. She then looked at Akame. "Akame, you're in charge while I'm gone. Our plan of action is that everyone else does their best."

Akame nodded with a blank expression. "I understand the basics."

"Just the basics?!" Tatsumi exclaimed.

Lubbock placed his hands on his hips as he wasn't worried. "Don't worry, she'll take her role seriously."

Najenda lit a cigarette before continuing. "The other reason I'm going to headquarters is to recruit new members. I hope they can spare some talented individuals, but I doubt there are any."

Lubbock was quite confused. "Why now?"

"According to Leone, Esdeath is organizing a special force of Imperial Arm users. One of out members has lost their Imperial Arm and the other is still heavily injured. Were short-handed and will need all the hep were going to get."

Sheele looked down at the floor a bit disappointed with herself. "Sorry everyone."

Tatsumi felt the same as he remembered losing to Nyau. "I'm sorry. I try to help but all I do is bring you guys down."

Bulat punched Tatsumi's neck.

"Ow!"

"Acting like that isn't going to get you anywhere. I've told you a hundred times Tatsumi. You did exceptional, the idea that you survived after fighting without an Imperial Arm is amazing by itself."

Tatsumi looked at Bulat's injuries. "Yeah, but still..."

"You fought the Three, who were key figures in Esdeath's army," Najenda pointed out. "considered among the capital's strongest. Not only did you survive but you two eliminated all of them. Although Esdeath's strength is unmatched, her army has clearly been weakened. When the revolution takes place, you'll have helped mitigate a huge concern. Not only did you two save the lives of the people on that ship, you essentially saved thousands in the Revolutionary Army who would've had have faced them."

Tatsumi still didn't feel better after. "I hardly did anything though." Tatsumi looked at Bulat. "But Aniki...you really are amazing. You managed to kill all of them all by yourself."

"Most of them." Bulat corrected reminding everyone of their...encounter.

The place went silent.

"Black Rock Shooter." Tatsumi said as he remembered every moment when the woman told her. "What does it mean?"

"I doubt it's her real name." Mine said. "If they've been this secretive about showing their faces to us then I'll doubt she'll give us her real name."

"It has to be some sort of nickname." Lubbock guessed. "I mean, who would named their child that?"

Najenda picked up her bag that contained the three confiscated Imperial Arm and started walking. "Talking about it won't solve anything. For now we'll continue our mission as usual...However, despite the fact that we owe these people an unforgettable debt. They must be hiding themselves from us for a reason...I have a feeling we haven't heard the last from them, so if you do meet them again...proceed with caution."

"You seemed troubled?"

"Why wouldn't I? We just interrupted a major event. This was suppose to be the place where Tatsumi would gain his Imperial Arm...and we stopped it."

"So you regret your decision."

"..."

"No...we can't turn back. If we stop now there will be far greater consequences...it's been easy so far but this is where that difficulty will end. It's going to get a lot more complicated after this. Bulat and Sheele are still alive and Tatsumi doesn't have an Imperial Arm...yet?"

"Yet?"

"You know that guild we slayed when we first got here? About the Imperial Arm that was buried beneath that guild? It should be a perfect fit for Tatsumi...however, that Imperial Arm in particular is very picky when choosing an user. Tatsumi will need a little...motivation in order to use."

"And how do you plan on doing that."

Jason remained silent rethinking his thoughts before telling Black. "I have...one idea."

A/N End of Chapter 3. Sorry it took so long to finish, so many things and events just got in my way (I also procrastinated a lot). Now I know all of you wanted to see Tatsumi use Incursio and Bulat's epic monologue, there was really no other way I could think of. I'm actually planning on saving Bulat's epic monologue for a future chapter.

Anyways, I'm very bad at impersonating character personalities so I might not get Bulat's and Sheele's personality right...and probally the rest of the characters as well. Also, sorry if that ending bit with Night Raid seemed a bit...forced. I didn't really know how to write that part.

If you had any problems with this chapter, feel free to scold me in the reviews because that's the whole point isn't it?

Anyways! I have an announcement which will probably be bad news to most of you and might be good news to some of you.

I'm putting this story on Hiatus.

Yes, I know some of you might question my actions. It took me forever to write this chapter and now I'm putting it on hiatus meaning the next chapter might not come out in a while.

I'm just so over flooded with pressure in terms of getting chapters posted. I guess I kinda deserve it for posting more than one story at a time, I told myself I would write stories one at a time and yet here I am, juggling four stories at once.

ANYWAYS! I'm first going to finish writing Strangers In Remnant chapter 33 and then I'll tell the guys over there that I'm putting Strangers In Remnant on Hiatus as well.

WHY? You ask? Well...I have spent a lot of time debating this and I have finally decided that. I will be finishing my other story called Shelter the Sequel: Arigato. I was originally going to finish it AFTER writing Strangers In Remnant but thanks to request, I have changed my mind.

For those who don't know, Shelter the Sequel: Arigato is a two-shot meaning a story with only two chapters. I have already written the first chapter which has about 14,000 words and the second part I'm planning to write is probally going to be just as long, possibly even longer. So writing that is going to take a long time. (I also might a one-shot about Vocaloid).

And that's all I wanted to say. Just in case for those who don't know, there is a section in my profile page called PROGRESS. Which basically tells you how much words I've written on each story I've ever made. So if you want to see my progress, go check that out. I'm going on a tour overseas for my 2 week holidays which is probally going to slow down my progress as well but I'll try to update the progress section as much as I can.

Again, I am really sorry for those who are looking forward to the next chapter of this story because that chapter isn't going to come out in a while. I'll try to finish everything as soon as possible but I just want to let you guys know that I'm Not Inactive.

I'm going to end it here because this author's note has gone for way too long. Thanks for reading and I hope I didn't disappoint you (probally did though). And yeah...Bye.

"Tatsumi's been taken by Esdeath?" Akame asked to confirm it.

"Oh no." Sheele commented.

"Did she find out he was a Night Raid member?" Mine asked a bit worried.

"It's very unlikely." Bulat replied is a serious tone of voice. "But it is a possibility."

"I don't really know..." Lubbock said placing his hand on his chin. "But like Bulat said, there is a chance."

"We watched them go to the palace, but..." Leone stopped and then looked at Akame. "What do we do, acting boss?"

Akame looked down on the table and remembered the promise he made. "Tatsumi..."

Mine folded her arms and looked at Akame. "Don't say something stupid like you'll rescue him, Akame."

Bulat thought about Mine's words. "As much as I hate it, I agree with Mine."

Akame thought about her next words. As much as it pained Akame. "For the time being, let's move out base farther into the mountains."

"That's a good idea." Leone agreed. "They might find this hideout."

"So what do wen do about Tatsumi?" Lubbock asked. "It may be impossible to rescue him..."

"I'm aware of that." Akame replied. She was suggest something but decided against.

Fortunately, Bulat read her mind. "I can do it."

Everyone stared at him with worry.

"You're not thinking what I think you're thinking." Lubbock commented.

"Are you sure?" Sheele asked.

"That's way too dangerous!" Mine said.

"I agree!" Lubbock added. "We can't afford that."

Akame looked at Bulat. "Are you sure? Considering your injuries..."

Bulat just smiled and punched his heart. "These wounds aren't fatal, Don't worry."

Akame thought about this before reaching a conclusion. "Very well. But be extremely careful. Don't make any reckless movements, especially If Esdeath's with him. Like Lubbock said, we can't afford to lose you too."

Bulat grinned. "Leave it to me!"

"Then it's decided." Akame declared. "Bulat will use his Imperial Arm to watch Tatsumi. We won't engaged unless we see a perfect opening for we don't want to rush in without any means."

Akame already knew Bulat would never do anything reckless but she couldn't help but feel worried. The idea of Esdeath alone was enough to worry her, but this was all they could do for now.

"Tatsumi is an important teammate! We'll do what we can to get him back!"
