Toa Solaric: I don't own Akame Ga Kill or Kamen Rider Kiva. They belonged to their respective writers and I've only writing this for fun. It true that I want to save this for tomorrow which is Halloween, but I realized that I will be busy tomorrow and decide to do it now.
Kiva- Dark Moon Over Bloody Sky
Wake 3: Under The Moonlight
Tatsumi was alone on a bed inside his new room and looked at his hand that tried to reach the ceiling. It was night time, but he still can't sleep.
The young man was thinking about what happened these past few days, after he joined Night Raid.
He learned why he was kidnapped by Leone who has been part of Night Raid because he was at the mansion. But he also learned something in exchange and in regards to the monster that was there.
Fangire.
Mysterious monsters that devoured the life force of humans and can take on the forms of regular people, therefore blending in with the crowd. They aren't anything like Danger Beasts and capable of intellect like humans. Tatsumi might be relieved that monster killed the family responsible for what happened to his friends, but being reminded that they can attack those regard of they are evil or innocent.
Najenda, the leader of Night Raid then asks about Raiga. Tatsumi admitted that he didn't know a lot about him and that he left after helping with Ieyasu's grave.
The second thing he learned was the motivation of Night Raid behind their strings of murder corruption people in the Capital. When the Boss of Night Raid asks if he wanted to join them, Tatsumi didn't hesitate joining them or they won't let him leave this place alive.
Night Raid is a lot different from what he imagined and the way that they acted. After joining them, Tatsumi went on his first assassination mission on a corrupted captain officer known as Ogre without being spotted by anyone else.
He still has some issues with the order of kidnapping him, however the young man still worries if Sayo is going to awake or not. The Boss didn't blame Tatsumi for still feeling distrustful of them but he still can't help feeling worried.
What happens when she wakes up, and that he isn't there to greet her?
"Sayo… I'm sorry that I can't be there when you wake up." Tatsumi muttered quietly. Though he may adjust to his new surroundings, he still can't get the worries about his childhood friend out of his mind.
This path may be dangerous… but I will come back alive and see you…Tatsumi thought serious. With Ieyasu gone, it just both of them of them now.
Meanwhile the leader of Night Raid with Leone and Akame were present. They were having a meeting regard to Kiva who been sighted by Mine.
"I see… so you weren't able to find him." Najenda said, rubbing her chin.
"Yeah. I can't find him anywhere." Leone said. "It's like Akame said he vanishes like a ghost. Except leaving his mark whenever he destroyed those Fangires."
From what Leone told her, Raiga was a violinist, having quite an impressive skill. Najenda rarely meet any violinists that will draw her attention especially Raiga.
But the power that Raiga wields reminded Najenda of someone that she know. After all, she was the one who brought him in. Unfortunately, that individual is not present in the base due to being on a long term mission assigned by the Revolution Army. Not to mention Raiga's companion is… an unusual species of bat that can talk. Is that supposed to be a new Danger Beast that they never know about? But is it possible that this Raiga is similar to him? Or he is like the Fangires? It's too bad they don't have any more information about the Fangire compared to the limited amount of information they have.
"What should we do?" Akame asked.
"We need more information even if it means to capture him…" Najenda said. "There is no doubt that the Empire will be after him as well…" Najenda had her suspicions and hopes to get straight to the bottom of this matter.
In the main chamber of Castle Doran, Raiga approaches Fuuko who is still amazed by the sights of this place.
"So what would you like to know?" Raiga asked.
"What was that thing you fought earlier?" Fuuko asked.
"That was a Fangire." Raiga said. "Fangires are similar to vampires, but they feed on the life energy of humans rather than blood. Not only can they disguise themselves in human form to hide within society, they also secretly feed." He explains.
"Are Fangires same as Danger Beasts?" Fuuko asked.
Jiro soon spoked up. "No. Danger Beasts are more than creatures below the food chain. Unlike them, Fangire can reformed their bodies after it's destroyed." That is true especially Mazoku member like Jiro hate being mistaken for those lowlife Danger Beasts.
"That's correct," Kivat said. "The only way to stop them by reforming themselves is by destroying or sealing their souls."
"I see…" Fuuko said, "But what about… Kiva?" she asked before she noticed an expression on Raiga's face. "Raiga?"
"It's a special armor made by the Kivat family… they're like Kivat, mechanical bats who can talk and fly." Raiga answered.
"Why is Kivat called that when his family name is Kivat?" Fuuko asked, confused.
Kivat then spoke up. "The Clan's named after my family. The Kivat-bat family is the premier family among the Clan because we can form suits with help of a partner."
"Can't anyone wear the armor… like IXA?" Fuuko asked.
"Not really." Raiga answered. "You see… Kivat's family tend to be picky about who will be chosen when it comes wearing their armor."
"That is true." Kivat said. "But another reason why we're picky is because humans cannot use the Kiva suit." he revealed.
This made Fuuko blink in surprise. "Pardon…?"
"The armor can't be used by humans due to its demonic power, therefore killing them. My partner Raiga here is a special case...he is half-human and half-Fangire— Fandiri." Kivat explains. This made the young girl looks at Raiga with surprised expression.
"My father is human and my mother is a Fangire, but like I said before I never knew her." Raiga answered. "The only difference for me...I can't become one or devour human life force. I can only show tribal marks whenever I become Kiva. So you won't have to worry if you think that I'll try to eat you. Although I don't recommend you telling this to anyone...it's kind of difficult to bring up that part."
"I see. That is a lot to take in," Fuuko replied. "Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone else about it."
She is still admiring the insides of Castle Doran before noticing a violin held in a glass like case. "What is this?" Fuuko asked.
"That is the Bloody Rose," Raiga answered. "Something that Tou-san left behind for me. It also lets me know when Fangires are attacking, too." He explained with a distant look.
"It's beautiful…." Fuuko said.
"Anyway, I'm going to be taking a quick bath." Raiga said. "Please wait for me." he said before leaving the chamber room immediately.
"After hearing from Raiga-sama, do you still wish to stay here?" Jiro asked, approaching her. "Does him being half-human bother you?"
"Raiga… saved my life again. No, I am not bother by it…" Fuuko answered. Raiga was willing to help her despite being a complete stranger and took her into his home, something that not anyone in the Capital can do. "I wish to repay him…"
Jiro stares at her careful before he made a decision. "Very well. Tomorrow, we will see what you can do before training you as a maid of Castle Doran." He said.
"But there is something I wonder about..." The young girl muttered quietly, but Jiro heard her.
"What is it?" Jiro asked.
"Why doesn't Raiga work for the Revolution army?" Fuuko asked, curious. After learning what Raiga can do as Kiva, she is certainly that his armor is powerful indeed. But there is a small part of her wondering why Raiga helped someone like her, when he can fight with the people in the Revolution Army.
"There is nothing for him to gain from working with them." Jiro answered calmly.
"What…?" Fuuko blinks in surprise. "But doesn't the Revolution Army promise betterment?" she asked as this is what those live on the street known.
"That is nothing more than a weak front that the Revolution Army puts up. It isn't anything better than the Empire." Jiro said.
"How do you know this…?" she asked.
"Don't think we came here unprepared for the worse about what's going on between the Empire and Revolutionary Army. Raiga-sama researched both sides in case he ended up being dragged into the conflict brewing here." Jiro told her.
In a large bathroom, Raiga is relaxing in an large bathtub with hot water while Kivat is riding on a small wooden basket.
"You seem relaxed after coming back." Kivat said, noticing the contend expression on Raiga's face.
"Yeah…" Raiga sighed. "Being in a place that death can happen at any time… could be really stressful." He reasoned before rubbing soap on his body.
"True… but I think you're more relieved that a cute girl like Fuuko joined us." Kivat added with a mischief grin.
"It's not like that…" Raiga answered. "Besides, I think she fits the requirements on that list you guys gave me about what you want for in a maid. Remember?" he asked.
"Yeah, I remember the list..." Kivat said sarcastically. "But it also means that you inwardly admitted that she's cute like I did! Don't deny it, Raiga. You and I have the same taste in pretty girls! Admit it!" he pointed out
"It still too early to decide on that…" Raiga answered, slightly hesitated. "Besides, you have to remember why we're in this creepy place in the first place."
"But we need to bear it a bit longer until we find out who has IXA and reclaim it from those heartless bastards." Kivat said hastily.
Raiga then spoke up again. "Hey Kivat… do you think anything would've been different if I've spared that girl at the mansion?" he asked.
"I know how you feel, Raiga. But it is unavoidable. She grew up in an environment where torture and lashing out punishment became natural for her. It will take a long time for someone like her to change. Even if the Fangires didn't come, the Night Raid will show up and do the job." Kivat said.
"I see…" Raiga sighed before sink lower to the water.
"So what are you going to do about Night Raid? They've already seen you three times." Kivat asked.
"Hopefully, we can least avoid them as long as possible. Then again, it's unrealistic for that thought to likely occur. They know the layout of the Capital." Raiga said. "But if we end up facing them and have no choice...at least we show them who they should never mess with." He answered.
A devious grin form on the bat's face. "Hehe… I like the way you think, Raiga." He chuckled. "So after getting IXA, are you going to see if you can fit in your father's armor?" he asked.
This made Raiga have a sorrow expression. "I'm not sure… I grew up watching Tou-san fight in that armor, and I am not sure if I'm worthy of wearing it like him. But I will make sure that the IXA armor won't continue being tarnished." Raiga said.
"I see... I understand, Raiga." Kivat said. "You should check on Fuuko and talk to her. She's probably waiting for you and getting the story from Jiro," said Kivat.
Raiga let out a sigh before nodding and gets himself out of the water. Kivat shook the water off himself before he took flight.
Fuuko is still a bit shocked about learning that the Revolution Army wasn't that good as she thought it would be. Even after Jiro helped her sit on the couch when she is taken aback by the revelation.
"Then what does Raiga fight when he has power?" Fuuko asked.
"To fight Fangires in order to protect humans." Jiro answered.
"But why does he have to protect them?" Fuuko asked, confused.
"It's his destiny," Jiro answered. "From birth it has been decided but it is also why he's doomed to be alone."
Fuuko can't help but being shocked of hearing this. "Why does he have to bear this burden? Not all humans are good… and willing to kill others without any remorse." Fuuko said.
"Raiga-sama told me about what happened to your parents, and I agreed that there are people in the Capital are worse than Fangires. But it doesn't mean you need to sink down to their level." Jiro said. "Not everyone can be bad forever, but for some if given a chance… they can change."
"It's… just hard to believe since people are always being cruel to others in the capital." Fuuko said.
"But Raiga-sama came to your aid when you were almost beaten to death. He cares about you." Jiro said.
"But is it really okay for me… to stay here?" Fuuko asked quietly.
"Since you'll be one of us, you will do your best to care for him and support him." Jiro requested. "He needs people that he can trust especially you."
"Thank you…" Fuuko said as she never felt that important before. Maybe things will be different here for her.
Further conversation ended when Riki made his presence known to the two in the room. "Dinner is served. Please, follow me."
The dinner hall was large and spacious with a dining table to match. It was at least 20 feet long with chairs along the side, and one on each end. Raiga sat on the right corner of the table to Fuuko who sat at the end of the table. Raiga felt better that they sat close since it difficult to talk across 20 feet. In front of them was their dinner, steak, biscuit breads with butter, salad and glasses of water.
"How is the food?" Raiga asked.
"It's good…" Fuuko replied, "Umm… can't I ask something?"
"Yes?" Raiga asked.
"Do you mind being call Raiga-sama… or Goshujin-sama?" Fuuko asked.
"To be honest, I don't think that I'm worth of being call Goshujin-sama. But you can just call me what you feel like." Raiga said.
"Then… I will call you, Raiga-sama. Is… that okay?" Fuuko requested.
Raiga nodded.
"You really have nice people to look after you and home to live in." Fuuko continued.
"They've been the ones who look after me when I lost everything and I'm grateful for that." Raiga answered.
"Are you sure?" Fuuko asked. "But what about Ramon? He can't be older than 13."
"Well… they look the same because they wear disguises." Raiga explains. "But I can tell you that they aren't Fangires."
"Then what are they?" Fuuko asked.
"Sorry, but I have no right to blab. It's their secret." Raiga said.
"I see…" Fuuko said. "Raiga-sama, I'm surprised that you have a castle way out in the woods. I am surprised that not a lot of people noticed." She stated.
"Oh yeah… I forgot to mention that normal humans can't see this place unless I invite them like you." Raiga began, "And Castle Doran isn't just a building, but a castle build on a giant dragon."
"This is going to take some time to get used to..." Fuuko said before slowly eating her food.
"But doesn't this frighten you…? Living inside a dragon?" Raiga clarified.
"Not really… it better than any other places that I know," Fuuko shaking her head.
"I see…" Raiga said before going back to eating.
"I also heard that you aren't interested in the Revolution Army." Fuuko said which stops him from eating his meal. "Not… that I will judge you if you have your own reasons for not trusting them. I will respect your decision."
"I won't deny it that they do is consider good, but their reason for betterment is just weak and there is no doubt that the Empire will eventually fall for the worse." Raiga said. "That is what I learned while I was traveling as a mercenary."
"You're a mercenary?" Fuuko asked, surprised.
"I like the freedom." Raiga answered honestly. "This way I'm not tied down to any countries, and being able to help out with whatever I feel like. I heard from others about what the Empire and Revolution Army do; I'm not taking either sides since I will have to kill numerous people." He said.
"But it isn't the same with being a mercenary?" Fuuko raising an eyebrow.
"I won't deny that there are mercenaries who do that for living. But there are those who choose not to and helping out with issues regard to Danger Beasts like myself." Raiga answered.
"I see…" Fuuko replied before eating her food again.
"After dinner, I will show you around Castle Doran so you won't get lost." Raiga said.
Fuuko nodded.
The first stop that they made was the massive library which made Fuuko surprised at the sight of many books.
"I've never seen so many books." Fuuko said with amazement. "How many are there?" she asked.
"To be honest, I still had gone over all of them when I started living here… there might be more than we expect." Raiga said. "Castle Doran has existed for a really long time… so I don't know a lot of its secrets."
"So even you don't know what goes around here?" Fuuko asked, surprised.
Raiga nodded. "Yeah, but also there are rooms that we can't go in since my guardians say they're dangerous." Raiga explains.
"But why would they put dangerous rooms in the first place?" Fuuko asked.
"I have no idea." Raiga shrugged.
"So what does these books cover?" Fuuko asked.
"A lot of things such as Danger Beasts and Teigu." Raiga added.
"What is a Teigu?" Fuuko asked at the last part.
"Teigu are powerful relics created by the Empire when it first established since the first Emperor needed weapons to protect his vast nation for generation. They usually look like weapons or every day product. A lot of them were either destroyed or stolen." Raiga explains before picked up one of the books. "This book here tells how most Teigus are made by using the flesh of Danger Beasts with special abilities, and rare minerals like olihalcon." He shows her the book.
"But you can say they're also the reason why people are afraid to defiant the Emperor now." He added as Fuuko shown an understanding look.
"I see… I heard imperial soldiers have strange objects that grant them power to kill people. So they're really Teigu," Fuuko replied. "Does Teigu harm Fangires?" Fuuko asked.
"Not really. Like Jiro said Danger Beasts are below the Fangires." Raiga answered.
"I'm surprised that the Fangires won't come to conquer the Capital…" Fuuko said curiosity. "How come?"
"To be honest, I am confused about that as well. With all of death and murders here, I'm certain that they'd be eager to eat here." Raiga admits.
"I see…"
It wasn't long until they left as Raiga shows Fuuko another room. This one leaded straight… to a forest?
"Where are we?" Fuuko asked.
"This room is actually a special space in Castle Doran that cannot be breached from anywhere else… but a place fitting more than an average stable for him." Raiga said.
"Him…?" Fuuko looks confused before hearing a loud cried from nearby. She becomes startled and saw Barikion except that he wasn't wearing any armor except for his helmet.
The young girl soon ran to the safest place she know… that is behind Raiga's back. Raiga stares back at the black horse with a serious expression.
"That is enough, Barikion." Raiga said serious. Barikion replied with a snort back at the young man in front of him.
"Who… is this?" Fuuko asked. She never seen a horse this intimidate before in her life.
"Sorry about that, Fuuko. This is Barikion." Raiga introduced her to the black horse, "He is different from your average horses… and he only allows those he deem strong to ride him."
"I see…" Fuuko said before looking at Barikion who let out a scoffed and leave. "He is quite rough for a horse…" she said nervous.
"He has a standard for a warhorse. Many people tried to subdue him for his powers before I take it." Raiga said while showing her a bit of the room here. He still remembered how many people tried to catch the horse and failed before he managed to tame the fearsome horse.
"Then how did you tame him?" Fuuko asked, confused.
"…" Raiga was quiet when he thinks back to the time.
(Flashback)
Raiga, in his armor as Kiva, approached the infamous black horse when Barikion lowered himself down to get on… but there was an ominous feeling around the horse.
"Let's do this, Raiga." Kivat said.
Kiva soon climbed onto Barikion's back and secured himself on his back, Barikion took off into an open area...
"This doesn't seem too bad… isn't it?" Kivat asked casually.
Soon Barikion started to buckled and jumped in order to get his new rider off his back.
"AAAAHHHH! I take it back… this horse is crazy!" Kiva screamed, holding onto Barikion's neck like his life depended on it.
"Raiga! Get this horse to stop right now!" Kivat shout in equally panic state.
"You aren't the one who is struggling here!" Kiva complained as Barikion continued with the crazy ride for several agonizing minutes.
It wasn't long until Barikion stop as Raiga and Kivat collapsed to ground with dizzy expression upon their faces.
(Present)
"Let's just say it was not something I recommend if they don't have the heart for it," Raiga said with a forceful smile.
"I see… I probably will keep that in mind." Fuuko said meekly.
Raiga soon makes a stop to his room.
"And this is my room…" Raiga said before opening the door.
Fuuko looks around Raiga's room and surprised how ordinary it looks. Just two bookshelves, a single bed, drawers, and a violin case.
"You play the violin?" Raiga nodded before opened his case to show her the violin and bow.
"Can… I hear you play?" Fuuko asked meekly.
"Very well… this will be considered a welcoming present for you." Raiga held his instrument close to him and placed the bow against the strings.
It wasn't long until his room is filled with music as well as the ears of the new member of Castle Doran. Fuuko is amazed by how talented Raiga was. She never heard anything beautiful coming from a violin before.
It wasn't long until Raiga finished playing the song and wait for a response from Fuuko. The young girl looks at him with an awed expression.
"How was it?" Raiga asked.
"It's amazing, Raiga-sama…" Fuuko said, awed. "I never heard anyone play like that."
"So it's not bad?" Raiga asked, curious.
Fuuko shakes her head. "Though I don't know much about music… but I think that you might be famous than being a mercenary." She said with a small smile formed upon her face.
"I guess it's good since I can see you smile." Raiga said.
This made Fuuko looks somewhat flustered. "Umm… thank you." She said nervous.
It wasn't long until Raiga puts his stuff away before showing Fuuko the guest room where she would be staying.
(Two days later- Capital)
Raiga went back to the Capital. He still wants to get out of this place. But he has a reason for staying here despite how much he feels angry about the ones who are in charge of this place. As he walk down the path, he sensed the same feelings from before yesterday still emitting here.
"Hello there!" A sweet and cheery feminine voice said from the side of Raiga.
Raiga turned his head to see an auburn-haired garrison guard jogging towards him. As the girl approached, Raiga noticed that she was dragging something on a leash. It looks like a small dog. But Raiga is certain that he never seen any dogs like that before. Though something about the dog looks familiar but he cannot placed it where.
"My justice sensor was picking up something. You there! You look like you're new around. Do you need any assistance?" The girl asked, as she suddenly saluted. "I'm Seryu, with the capital garrison! I'm an ally of justice!"
She looks normal to me… Raiga thought before he hears the dog whine.
"Are you hungry, Koro-chan?" Seryu asked to the dog, as she crouched in front of it. "Well, just hang in there a little longer!" Seryu noticed that Raiga was staring at Koro, and gently picked up the dog. "Oh don't worry about Koro. He's the teigu Hecatoncheir. He's completely harmless to all innocents."
Hecatoncheir as in the biological teigu?! Raiga soon remembered the book about Teigu and recalled how deadly the Teigu could be. 'But it's only dangerous to those you perceive as evil…' he thought.
"So do you have a problem?" Seryu asked to the young man.
"Well… I wonder if you guys from the capital garrison noticed why everyone is feeling depressed?" Raiga asked, curious.
"No, there is nothing wrong here. Everyone in the Capital lives happily and safe from harm." Seryu answered with a smile. "But if you feel threatened, you can count on us to be there to protect you! That is the job of the imperial guards!"
Yep. There is certainly something wrong with this girl… Raiga thought.
"Sorry… I just had a rough day…" Raiga said discrete, keeping an eye on the Teigu like dog. "You see… a friend of mine got eaten alive by a monster in the shopping district. Did you hear about that?"
"I'm sorry for your loss... Like you, some of my men loss their lives when they tried to subdued the monster." Seryu said with sympathetic expression. "But I promise you that the capital garrison will do better so no more lives were lost! I swore on my heart of justice!"
'Justice… this girl must be delusional if that's what her country really is…' "I see… sorry for bothering you. I will be going now." Raiga said before leaving.
"No problem!" Seryu exclaimed, as she saluted once again. "If you spot any illegal activities please come find me! I'll sniff it out, and destroy any evildoers!"
"I see. Thank you." Raiga said with a fake sniffing sound.
"Let's go Koro-chan, I know you're hungry." Seryu said, as she took off running down the street. "How do five condemned criminals sound?"
Okay… that might leave me mentally scarred for life… Raiga thought, feeling even more nauseous than before. 'That girl certainly has a few screws loose if she's saying those things...will there be others like her…?' he thought before continued on his exploration of the capital.
"So I'm finally back in the Capital," Tatsumi said as he glancing at the crowds. "But now that I really look, everyone seems so sad."
"Well it makes sense, since they're under the government's boot and there is a recession going on." Mine pointed out, walking ahead of Tatsumi. "Now stop looking around so much; it'll make you seem suspicious. I told you one of the reasons we came to the capital, is so that I can teach you how to be stealthy and inconspicuous. You have to blend with the crowds, and not draw any unwanted attention toward yourself."
"You're right." Tatsumi said, as he caught up with Mine. "So, is it really okay for us to be walking around in broad daylight like this?"
"Yeah…" Mine replied, pointing to a series of wanted posters on a nearby wall. "The only people on the wanted posters are Akame, Sheele, Bulat, and the boss. The rest of us are free to walk around the capital."
Tatsumi stares at the posters before he realized something odd.
"Wait a second…" Tatsumi said, pointing at the middle poster. The man looked sort of like Bulat, but with a different hairstyle. "Are you telling me that is Bulat!?"
"Yeah! Now stop fucking yelling!" Mine hissed, slapping Tatsumi on the arm. Releasing an annoyed huff, Mine crossed her arms over her chest. "He changed his image after joining Night Raid."
"That's a pretty big change though." Tatsumi commented, as took one last look at the wanted poster.
Mine sighed. "Well now, that's cleared up. We still have a mission to complete." Mine said, crossing her arms behind her back.
Tatsumi sighed. "Since you're the boss… lead the way."
"Alright! Our mission is check up on the capital's condition. But remember we can't be suspicious when making our observation." Mine said, turning toward a nearby clothes shop. "Now come with me…"
I have a bad feeling about this…
(Few hours of terror)
What kind of training is this?! Tatsumi thought with a blank stare filled his eyes.
"Mmm, we sure bought a lot." Mine said with a content smile, sipping some of her tea. "I knew pink would be this spring's trending color."
"Sure thing…" The young man cannot help, but remember what happens after been dragged around by the pinkette for three hours.
Going from store to store, and buying ludicrous amount of clothes; which Tatsumi was forced to carry. Though he admit that she did look cute in most of them. But it doesn't excuse her basically making him, her pack mule for the past three hours.
"Ah, it's nice to kick back and relax every now and then." Mine said, setting down her tea cup. "Well good job, Tatsumi. Mission complete."
"W-what…" Tatsumi said, as his eye began to twitch. "Are you fucking kidding me!? That wasn't a mission, it was just a stupid shopping trip!"
Mine soon give Tatsumi a slap across the face.
"What did I say about drawing unwanted attention?" she berated him. "It wasn't just a useless shopping trip. We just used a shopping trip as a cover up, so that we could do our observation without looking suspicious." This made Tatsumi's eyes widen at Mine's explanation. "Look at the corner of the street behind, but don't take too long; just only a brief peek." Doing as he was told, Tatsumi quickly glance at the corner behind him. The only thing he saw was a normal man standing there and reading a newspaper. "You may not suspect anything of him, but he's been following since we arrived to the capital."
"Do you think he is with the government?" Tatsumi asked, noticing a sword on the man's belt.
"Maybe an informant of them. He must noticed you shouting Bulat and tried to find anything." Mine said, sipping her tea.
"Shit…" Tatsumi cursed quietly. "I'm sorry about getting us almost caught." He apologized in an apologetic tone.
"Now you know why, you need to be careful. We came here in order to prepare you for the worse. This is a good learning experience for you." Mine said, causing Tatsumi's eyes widened. "As soon as I finished my tea, we can go."
I thought she would snapped at me for my mistakes…? Tatsumi thought with shocked. 'I'm just a newbie… but she is actually nice to me. Maybe—'
Tatsumi soon mentally shake his head. 'What in the world am I thinking? I can't think like this when I have Sayo to worry about…'
"Alright, let's go." Mine said, setting her tea cup down. Tatsumi raised an eyebrow when she offered her hand. "Come on, take my hand."
"Why?" Tatsumi asked, confused.
"Ugh, don't get all worked up. That guy is still watching us. Since I made you carry all my things, it probably makes you my boyfriend." Mine said, making Tatsumi gawk. "So you need to hold my hand...that we'll look like a couple."
"Fine…" Tatsumi said before hesitantly, took her hand. 'I never noticed how small her hand is…'
"Now let's get out of here," Mine said, leading Tatsumi down the street. But the pinkette kept her face hidden from Tatsumi since her face is reddened. 'Why am I acting like this? He's just a newbie, and almost blow up the mission. Why does his hand have to be so warm?'
"Hey Mine, what's going on over there?" Tatsumi asked, pointed to the crowd that had gathered to their right.
"Probably just a public execution for someone who challenged the empire." Mine replied, walking Tatsumi towards the edge of the crowd. "It's pretty normal thing to see in the capital."
"T-That's horrible…" Tatsumi said, as he felt sick to his stomach. Before Tatsumi and Mine were several people crucified in the middle of a highly populated area. Dozens of people gathered around to gawk at the gruesome display. Seeing the horrifying demonstration, reminded him of what happens to his friends in the shed.
"I think I'm gonna be sick."
"You have to maintain your composure." Mine whispered, gently squeezing Tatsumi's hand. "People in the capital are used to seeing things like this, so they aren't affected by it anymore."
"Y-You're right…" Tatsumi said, as he adverted his eyes. "I have to keep calm."
Before Mine could say something, there were black feathers coming out from nowhere as everyone looked shock as the feathers exploded in the process. Both Mine and Tatsumi were forced back as they both start coughing.
"What in the world was that…?" Tatsumi asked while coughing.
"Fangire…" Mine said, pointing to the Fangire who emerging and causing civilian to run in panic by the sight of the appearance.
The Fangire by appearance alone shared the features of a black raven with two wings on his back.
"This place is truly worth time to have diner." The Fangire said before releasing his fangs on the crucified people. It wasn't long until each crucified victims were nothing more than glass tusks.
"What do we do?" Tatsumi asked to the pinkette.
"Nothing we do can stop that thing…" Mine said before seeing the imperial soldiers arrived to try and stop the Fangire. "We will use this distraction and get out of the capital."
"Hoo! You all came here to die then!" The Crow Fangire chuckled before easily countering their weapons and knocking them straight to the ground. He soon released his spores before killing off the imperial soldiers until few were left. This caused remaining soldiers to run but Crow Fangire caught one of them.
"What's wrong? Is this everything that corrupted capital has to offer?" The Fangire remarked.
The Crow Fangire soon ejected his fangs into the soldier's neck and making him screamed in pain. Just before he can drained the soldier dried, the Crow Fangire and few imperial soldiers were rammed over by Kiva who was riding on top of Barikion.
"Not here either…" Kiva said, noticing that there is no one around could be the one who fighting Fangires.
The Fangire let out a growl before charging at Kiva for disturbing his meal. Kiva got off of Barikion and began to block the fists and before began his attacks to force the Moth Fangire back from him.
"Why are you protecting these useless humans, Kiva?" Crow Fangire questioned furious. "This place is more rotten than you imagined and the people are not worth saving."
"I know that, but one thing is still the same to me. You Fangires are still gluttonous as ever." Kiva retorted serious before did a spin kick on the Crow Fangire.
"But unlike you, I give these humans salvation from their agony… by satisfying my hunger!" Crow Fangire said.
The Fangire released some fragments from his arm and they materialized into a sword before picked it up.
Kiva got out his war fans and charging at him in respond as their weapons collided with each other. The Rider tried to hit him, but the Fangire is good with blocking his attacks before the Crow Fangire fired spores at him and sending Kiva staggering backward.
"Aibou, I think we need to change weapons." Kivat said.
Kiva got himself back up from the ground, but he spotted something that sparkled far from the corner of his right and jumps away from incoming bullets. The Crow Fangire didn't flinched from the attack as he and Kiva glance to the side to see Seryu with two tonfa guns.
"So you two are the monsters who are responsible for disturbing the peace of the capital…" Seryu said with a sinister look upon her face.
"I knew that woman was weird…" Kiva whispered under his breath. Not to mention that he can feel the evil presence emitting from the woman now. That proved there is something wrong with that woman.
"Yeah, is she ever a woman to begin with that creepy face." Kivat remarked.
"I am with the capital garrison! Seryu Ubiquitous! In the name of justice… I sentence you all to death! I will eliminate all of you!" Seryu said before shooting at the Fangire first.
Crow Fangire let out a sigh at the bullets that to hit him since they don't do much against him.
"Koro, Prey!" Seryu shouts as her dog like teigu enlarged itself and revealed it's razor sharp teeths.
Koro charges at the Crow Fangire who got his sword and sliced Koro from his jaw to the back as the massive Teigu collapsed onto the ground.
"Koro, get up now!" Seryu snapped.
"This is so boring…" Crow Fangire said before looking at Kiva. "Let's meet again, another time…"
The Crow Fangire brought up his feathers and fired at Seryu before releasing wide range explosion in the process.
"Fine by me…" Kiva shrugged before heading back to Barikion. "Let's go home," Barikion respond with a snort before leaving through the street.
Soon Seryu got out of the explosion and looks around before seeing both Kiva and the Crow Fangire vanished into completed thin air.
"DAMN IT!" Seryu cursed in frustration and rage, "I won't let you guys get away with this!" she screamed.
(Castle Doran)
Raiga is currently sitting with Fuuko and Ramon in the main chamber, discussing the events today. Though Fuuko's outfit is different right now as she is wearing a frilled band on her hair and dressing in a black blouse and large skirt with a simple apron.
"And that is what happened before coming back." Raiga said, sitting on the couch.
"I see… I'm glad you came back alright." Fuuko said.
"So it's true that woman you met before grow really sharp teeth?" Ramon asked, seem interesting in the expression Seryu made.
"To be honest… I don't know how that is even possible. And don't want to think about it either." Raiga said, shuddered at the thought of that woman. It like what Jiro once says hell no fury to a woman's scorn.
"It too bad that we can't destroyed the ugly mutt of a Teigu." Kivat said.
"Well, I don't deal with number of imperial soldiers if we stayed there too long." Raiga retort. "So how are things going with Fuuko's training as maid?" Raiga asked.
"She seems good with tiding up and cleaning, but her cooking skills is on average level." Ramon replied.
"I see…" Raiga said before looking at Fuuko. "I hope the training wasn't too rough on you."
"No." Fuuko replied in an embarrassed tone, her face burning bright red. "I'm really tired… from the new tasks that were bring up."
"Well, you should also seeing her when she tried to washing the clothes." Ramon chuckled. "Somehow she end up causing the bubbles overflow."
This made Fuuko looks down in embarrassment. "I'm sorry…!"
"It's fine…" Raiga assured to the young girl.
(Night time)
Tatsumi was sitting on top of a branch and he peeked at the target's massive home through a pair of binoculars.
"So that's Iokal's home, man it's crawling with guards." Tatsumi commented.
Iokal is the distant relative of the minister and used the name of the minister's to kidnap young girls from the capital and beat them to death. It wasn't just him, but his five guards who share the blame. The Night Raid come here to assassinate them.
"I can't nail him from here." Mine said, adjusting the dials on her scope. "But I'll take his head clean off as soon as he shows his ugly fucking face."
"And I got your back after you fire the first shot." Tatsumi said.
"I'm not really counting on it though." Mine said, scoping in on the house's grand entrance.
Wow… she's so focused… Tatsumi thought, as he stared at Mine out of the corner of his eye. 'I can feel her determination from here. Mine really is an incredible assassin…'
"I've got eyes on the target." Mine suddenly said, snapping Tatsumi out of his thoughts.
"Alright…" Tatsumi said, as he raised his binoculars. He immediately spotted Iokai leaving his home.
But there was one problem. Iokai was surrounded by a group of innocent women. "You can't attack now! A lot of people came out with him!"
"So what?"
"What do you mean-" Tatsumi looks back at Mine. "How are you gonna snipe him?" he asked.
But Mine didn't say anything.
"No way." Tatsumi said with disbelief expression. "Tell me. You aren't intending to kill innocent bystanders…!"
But Mine already fired. The young man quickly raised his binoculars to track Mine's shot. Tatsumi watched in awe as Mine's shot threaded the needle between of the woman's head, and hit Iokal right between the eyes. Iokal's head immediately snapped back, as blood sprayed from the gaping hole in his head. "Holy… shit…"
"See…? I'm a genius sniper." Mine gloated, resting Pumpkin on top of her shoulder. "Now let's get to the rendezvous point."
"R-Right." Tatsumi stuttered out, still in complete shock over the incredible shot.
Below where Mine and Tatsumi were, Iokal's guards sprinted through the woods; in a desperate search for his assassin.
"No matter what, we have to find the assassin!"
"If he gets away, the minister will have us executed!"
"There's no way, he could've gotten that far!"
It wasn't long until the guards were stop when Leone and other Night Raid members get in their way.
Unknown to them, there was a figure watching them in the shadow. The figure looks like a man around age of 30 with trench coat and hat to cover himself.
"Hmm… I can't wait to taste those girls that foolish human took possessed…" The figure said before he morphed into the Crow Fangire.
It was after dinner that Raiga and Kivat heard the sound of Bloody Rose playing before the young man get up from his seat.
"Raiga-sama, what's wrong?" Fuuko asked with concerned.
"Fangire appeared…" Raiga answered. This making Fuuko looks surprised. "Stay in Castle Doran. We will back soon after we're done."
"Let's go, Raiga! We cannot be late!" Kivat said when getting the location from Bloody Rose.
Raiga nodded before he leaves through the hallway.
The Crow Fangire began his assault on Iokal's house by starting to prey on the helpless women that were too scared to even move on their own.
After devour the second one, the Crow Fangire was soon tackled by Kiva from out of nowhere.
Kiva soon looks back at the scared women. "Get out of here quick!" he shouts as this promoted the women to run for their lives.
"Hmph. Not bad for tracking me…" Crow Fangire said. 'But maybe I can use them as distract…' he thought.
Kiva and the Crow Fangire soon charge at each other.
The Rider jumps onto the Fangire's shoulders and started punches at his head. The Crow Fangire manage to shake Kiva off to the ground, and soon stomps his foot on Kiva's chest, and was about to do it again, but Kiva stops the assault by grabbing the Crow Fangire's foot and pushed him back.
Crow Fangire soon spreading his wings and flying straight into the air. Kiva soon followed him in pursued as he got out his war fans and flew after him. It wasn't long until they head straight into the woods.
Kiva was about to get close to the Fangire before he tackled by a yellow blur from out of nowhere and pummeling hard straight to the ground.
This caused Kiva to rolling straight to the ground and reversed his transformation immediately.
"What in the world was that…?" Kivat groan as he and Raiga tried to regain their sense.
"Well… well… look at what I dragged in~!" A familiar voice said as Raiga's eyes wide in surprised at what in front of him.
"The con woman…." He growls.
Standing in front of him was none other than Leone except she has longer wild blonde hair with cat like ears, claws, and tail. But Raiga noticed that she wasn't alone here, there is Akame, the silver armored being with yellow eyes, Sheele, and a green hair teenage.
"You're with the Night Raid all along…" Raiga concluded after seeing the other members and making the conclusion.
"So this is the infamous armor being known as Kiva, huh?" The silver armored figure mused.
"Sorry about taking your time… but can't you please come with us? Our boss would like a word with you. If you resist, then you die here." Sheele said, showing her giant scissor.
"Not interested." Raiga refuted. He wasn't sure where the Fangire was, but Night Raid interrupted him at a pretty bad time.
"Now, I know you don't trust us. However, we need to make an exception since our boss thinks these creatures will be a problem in the future. So in order to find answers, we're going to need you." The silver armored being said, waiting for Raiga to reply. "Come with us…"
Raiga and Kivat look at each other before they glared at the Night Raid. "No thanks…" they said at the same time.
"You don't have a choice." Akame said, pointed her sword at him. "Your power is a danger to us if you sided with the Empire."
This made Raiga looks angry at the accusation from Akame. "Don't call the kettle black. The only ones who I see are dangerous are those who killed people with teigu." He refuted.
The Fandiri moved out of the way when the silver armored man tried to do a side blow on him and he hits the ground in the process. But he was soon pounced down to the ground by Leone who looking down at him with a dangerous and seduction look. Raiga struggled to move while Leone having him pinned to the ground.
"You have no choice in the matter when you entered this country." Leone said.
"Get your hand off of him, you feline bitch!" Kivat looks quite enraged at the blonde hair assassin and striking her with his wings to force her away from his partner. Kivat soon bites on Raiga's hand and initiated his transformation.
"GABUU!"
In seconds, Raiga's appearance changed. He first gained his Fangire markings before his body turned silver and morphed. The silver layer shattered to reveal his Kiva armor. Sheele and others look shocked at the transformation.
Kiva know that he might not get out of this without a fight. He has no intention of going with the Night Raid either.
Leone soon recovered from Kivat's slashes due to the ability of her teigu. "You'll paid for that, bastard!" Leone growls in rage and charged at him. But Kiva dodged by moving to the side before spotting Akame come charging at him with her sword.
Kiva went under the swing of Akame's blade and sending a hard fist straight into Akame's gut which caused the black hair girl to gasp before being send backward.
Soon the silver armored man come at him next with his spear. Kiva blocked a powerful strike with his war fans, but skidding back a bit. The silver armor user continued his relentless assault, thrusting multiple times with the spear. Unable to dodge or block most of the attacks, Kiva tried to jump back but was attacked by Leone, who landed multiple strikes on him before sending a powerful punch at Kiva's head, sending him flying straight to the tree.
"Damn…" Kiva groan.
Sheele and Lubbock decide that they might not be needed in this fight consider how three of their strongest fighters can handle against Kiva. Not to mention they know that who will be the ones standing here.
"Last chance…" Bulat said.
"Shut up… even if you ask me to come, I will refused." Kiva struggle to stand up, "The only thing you will do is locked me up like a caged animal… because you don't want my power to fall into the Empire… and I am not going to fight on your side either… I am going to make it clear to you all. LEAVE ME ALONE!" He said, reaching for a blue fuestle and has a head of wolf.
"Like we will allowed you do anything!" Leone shout as she charged at him.
Kivat used his psychic power to get the blue fuestle to his mouth and played it.
"GARULU SABER!"
Jiro is drinking his coffee at the dinner table before he and others hear the sound of the fuestle playing.
"What in the world is that?" Fuuko asked, confused.
"Kiva calls for Jiro to help." Ramon answered.
Jiro smirked. "Looks like it's my turn. It's about time." Jiro said before leaving the area.
Jiro walked to the centre of the room and got down on one knee. He growled as he scraped his fingers across the floor making blue lightning spark from the contact. His eyes turned increasingly feral before he dashed toward one end of the room. The wall quickly vanished to reveal a long hallway lined with mirrors and torches.
Dashing past the mirrors, Jiro's image vanished in a haze of steam as his body shifted to a more bestial form. From head to toe he was covered with cobalt blue fur which looked more like armor than actual fur. His claws were pointed and looked ready to shred anything. His face looked like a muzzle of a wolf with a gold horn extending from his head. His eyes were blood red and filled with feral rage. From the back of his head, a tail of tan fur reached down his back. This is the last member of Wolfen Clan, Garulu.
He then transformed into what looks like a blue statue with a wolf head on the front. The statue swiftly shrank down to a hand size as orange energy collected over him and soon flies out of the hallway.
Flight in the night sky was a gigantic monster. The thing was a huge purple and grey dragon whose body was in the shape of a castle that was at least three or four stories tall. Its neck and head were connected in the middle of one side of the wide castle with its tail on the opposite end which had a small tower on its tip. Each of the dragon's short legs were at the out corners of the castle with golden manacle around each of its ankles with a length of chain connecting long enough to allow the beast to walk on land without restraint. Huge purple bat-like wings protruded out the sides allowing it to stay airborne in its nightly flight. The castle was very impressive itself, with four windows on each side that were as tall as the castle was. There was a guard tower at each corner and between the ones in the front, just above the head, was a clock tower.
This is none other than Castle Doran.
Castle Doran then opens its mouth and shoots out an orange orb, heading straight for where Kiva was.
The Night Raid members heard the tone of the Fuestle and then saw a blue shooting star headed towards Kiva. They then realized it was no normal shooting star as Leone jump out of the way and come at Kiva. It appeared to be a blue wolf-like statuette.
As soon as it was in Kiva's left hand, it unfolded into a sword with a wavy blade similar to a Kris and a wolf's head on the hilt. Chains wrapped around his left arm and shattered, revealing blue armor and the shoulder was now shaped like a wolf's paw. The chains wrapped around his chestplate and shattered as well, revealing a blue chestplate with silver marks on the sided. The yellow visor turned blue along with Kivat's eyes.
This is Kiva Garulu Form!
Kiva landed in a crouch, his new weapon rested on his shoulder as Leone felt a sudden dread down her spine and starting to sweats uncontrollable. 'No way! Why is my instincts telling me to run away as if he's gonna to killed me?' she thought.
Kiva then stood up and reared his head back, releasing a howl before he dashed towards Leone. Leone barely have any time to react when Kiva come at her and sliced off both of her hands from her arms.
"Leone!" The silver armored warrior shouts in disbelief at what happened. It wasn't just him, but others show disbelief expression on their face.
Leone tried to get away from Kiva but he was too fast. Kiva went behind her and perform a downward slash on Leone from behind, in process of cutting her off from her Teigu Lionelle. It further caused her to unable to access the regeneration ability of her Teigu. This causing the blonde woman to fall straight into unconsciousness due to loss of blood.
Akame charged forward with her sword at Kiva from behind. Kiva turns around and blocked with his sword before slashing her in the process.
Akame cried in pain as the sword slashed across her body. She got a huge ripe through her shirt, a large gush of blood through her body. But what even more shocking to them is that Akame's teigu, the Muramasa, the blade was sliced in half.
"No way…" Lubbock said in shocked. Both Akame and Leone were taking down by him?
"Lubbock, stay here! Bulat, let's do it!" Sheele said as she and the silver armored figure charged at Kiva next.
Both Sheele and Bulat went around from different sides of Kiva, but Sheele was the first one to strike at him first. But Kiva brought up his sword and met with Sheele's scissor blade, Sheele and Bulat were shocked to see that it didn't break through Kiva's sword. Instead, there was a crack on Sheele's scissor blade.
During the same time, Bulat had already swung his spear only for Kiva to dodge by jumping backward to distance himself from both Night Raid members.
"T-That's impossible…!" gasped Sheele. Her Teigu, Extase, is known to be a weapon that cut through anything no matter how hard the material or what it was made of. Even during her spars with Bulat in Incursio, her weapon is even able to penetrate its unbreakable armor. However, her weapon couldn't do the same with Kiva.
"Woah, indeed…" Bulat said. They weren't anticipated anything from Kiva's whose battle style changed into a complete now as if he is a whole different person.
Kiva soon charged before Bulat and Sheele were giving any time to think for themselves. Bulat tried to get in Kiva's path, but for Kiva dodging his spear and slashing him several times in the process across the armor. This caused Bulat to gasp in pain as his armor vanished and he showing with numbers of bruise in the process before collapsed straight to the ground.
"No!" Sheele shouts before trying to stop Kiva on her own.
But thanks to the speed grant by Garulu Form, Kiva was able to dodging the blows from the scissor blade. However, Kiva was soon stop by silver threads from Lubbock's teigu, the Cross-Tail.
"Sheele, get him while you still can!" Lubbock said. Though he knows that his Teigu wasn't for direct combat but he could buy some time.
However, Kiva was able to break out of his binds and grabbed the silver threads, much to the Night Raid's shocked, and pulled Lubbock along as Kiva slammed his face straight hard to the floor before throwing him on top of a tree.
Sheele soon having a darkened look and try to attack Kiva on her own. Kiva swing his sword and countered her Extase in the process but not before he break the upper part of the scissor blade like what happens to Akame's sword. Not to mention part of Sheele's dress was torned off with blood spill as Kiva throws her rolling across the ground.
This made Akame and Bulat looks on with horrified at what happening to their members. Kiva didn't seem to be done with Sheele as he marching toward the helpless woman.
But it turns out that she wasn't the target to Kiva's blade, instead it was the Crow Fangire who was hiding on top of the tree. Kiva leap over her and slashed the Crow Fangire.
"How do you know where I was!?" Crow Fangire cursed after falling from the tree.
Both Kiva and the Fangire clashed with each other as their weapons traded blows. Crow Fangire thought that he got Kiva but the vampire theme Rider blocked it with his blade and block another and then push his sword back and slashes the Fangire in the chest.
The Crow Fangire was about to fly again, but Kiva won't allowed that to happen.
Kiva moves his sword's back in front of him as it howls, and then pushes it forward unleashing a sonic wave attack on the Crow Fangire which made pushes him across the ground and also sparks from his body. Kiva soon charged and sliced off the wings from the Crow Fangire.
"Let's finish this with no more stalling, Kiva!" Kivat said.
Kiva nodded and held his blade horizontally in front of himself before bringing it down for Kivat to bite.
"GARULU BITE!"
The wind sounded like a wolf's howl as full moon rose high above Kiva. The Rider's mouthplate opened up and then he placed the handle of his sword between the 'fangs'. Going into a crouch with his arms spread to the sides, he then looks up at the Crow Fangire before leaping upwards.
Kiva performed a downward slash as soon the Crow Fangire tried to fly away, but Kiva breaks and slashes through the Fangire before Kiva turns his back on him on all fours. As the Crow Fangire screamed a huge blue bonfire burst out from it with the image of a werewolf like head before disappearing and the Fangire shattered like stain glass pieces, and its soul soon flied away.
'What in the world is he…?' Akame thought in shocked.
Kiva felt something and swings his blade to deflected an energy blast that not far from where he was. He glanced around to see Mine…
and Tatsumi.
"Mine, that is enough!" Tatsumi snapped at the pink hair girl.
"But he hurt Sheele!" Mine growls angrily.
Due to the donned Garulu Form, Kiva is still overwhelming angry even when he saw Tatsumi here with them.
"Tatsumi… what are you doing with them?" Kiva growls feral as he glaring at the young man with Mine. He remembered that he left a letter for Tatsumi to specific leave the capital after his childhood friend recovered enough. But he didn't expect Tatsumi to be here and being with the Night Raid!
"Raiga… can't you undo your armor?" Tatsumi asked, feeling intimidated by this form of Kiva.
"After that pinky shot at us, why should we?" Kivat scoffed.
"I joined them after Leone took me from the clinic… to find out about you," Tatsumi revealed truthfully.
This made Kiva growl when Tatsumi mentioned Leone and glared at the blonde hair woman who is still unconscious from loss blood.
"But, Night Raid isn't really bad! They try to take down the corruption of the minister! That is why I joined them or they will kill me because I know their base, but I know that this is the only option to get back at them!" Tatsumi continued.
"How the hell is that good!?" Kiva countered angry. Being kidnapped and was forced to fight against your free will is wrong!
"Raiga… I know it looks bad— but please, joined the Night Raid!" Tatsumi begging. "With your power, we can end the reign that monster Honest started! Everyone won't have to live in fear anymore!"
"How can you ask him to join after what he did!?" Mine snapped at Tatsumi.
"But can't you see that we need him to help in order to win… Raiga?" Tatsumi can't help being shocked to see Kiva leaving through the woods.
"Raiga, where are you going?"
But Kiva didn't say anything as he leaving Tatsumi and Night Raid before disappearing straight through the forest.
Raiga almost collapsed after coming back through the front door but it wasn't for Ramon who caught him in the process.
"Thanks… Ramon," Raiga said as Ramon helped him into the chamber room and helped him straight to the couch.
"Raiga-sama, are you alright?" Fuuko asked with a worried tone before coming toward Raiga.
"Don't worry, I'm just tired." Raiga assured, still feeling exhaust after the fight. Not to mention that his face feel sore as well.
Kivat swoop down onto the table.
"Be careful with him, young lady. Those Night Raid members tried to ambush him and were pesters before we send them flying the hard way." Kivat explains.
"Yeah, we did… but I can't believe that Tatsumi was with them." Raiga added.
"It isn't your fault for not knowing that they will try to find you." Kivat said.
"Yeah, I know. It was that con-woman's fault…" Raiga sighed. But he feel a sense of satisfaction after giving her a beat down that she won't forget.
"Do you have any bad qualms with him now he is with them?" Ramon asked.
Raiga shakes his head. "I don't blame him if he was forced to fight but the ones to blame …is Night Raid." He answered. Tatsumi implied that they only kidnap him but not his friend Sayo. Sayo is still in a comatose from the time he left the clinic as Raiga recalled. The young girl doesn't know the events that might transpired while she is like that. Without Tatsumi, Sayo will be left unprotected despite Raiga wasn't certain how the clinic protected their patients.
In the outskirts of the Empire's hold, many people were heading home or already asleep. Some stayed up for drinks, or business, while others were readying themselves for the next day. But our scene focused on the most dead quiet area.
There was a loud crashed sound as a man was seen beaten to pulp. This caused the thug members to become scarred than before.
"S-She is a monster!" one of the thugs screamed.
It too dark to see in the area, but what noticed about the figure was that she wearing somekind of strange armor and what noticeable on her face was a golden cross.
"This is what you get for defiling the capital with your evil essence…" the armored figure grinned before placing what looks like a fuestle in her buckle.
"IXA KNUCKLE: RISE UP!"
Gripping what resembled a knuckle, she pulled it out from the belt and reared back her arm for a punch. The men's eyes wide in fear as they saw the incoming attack. They try to run away, but they didn't run too far as the knuckle released deadly burst of pure energy as the men were exploded in the process.
The only things were left where few remains from the men but they were soon cleaned up by a certain dog that come out from behind the armored warrior.
"There, Koro-chan… don't leave any trace of evil essence behind." The armored being said. The small-like creature with stubby arms and legs let out a burped after consuming the remains.
To be continued…
AN: That is the end of that chapter. As for the fight scene between Kiva and Night Raid… Yes, it is necessary for to occur… it made me feel relief that I finally get it out! *Laughing madly like Shin Kuroto Dan* I have no regret for I break the stupid mold on other Kamen Rider/Akame Ga Kill crossover fics! Before I leave... I will say this even though to be too early. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Anyway, be sure to review or message me for any questions, comments, or concern. And don't be afraid to look at my other stories. See you all next time.
