Toa Solaric: I don't own either Kamen Rider Kiva or Akame Ga Kill. They belonged to their respective owners and I'm writing this for fun. The only things that I own here are the OCs for my story.
Kiva: Dark Moon Over Bloody Sky!
Wake 6: The Battle of Sabbat!
Raiga was seen sitting on the opposite seat to the table as the famous chief and manager of Maison Cercueil, Inukai made his presence known to him.
Raiga combed his hair, wearing regular glasses, and format gray suit when it comes to the job interview with him. Not to mention keep off the radar if one of the workers here is the Prawn Fangire since he might recognize him right from the start.
"So you want to take the job as a waiter?" Inukai asked. There is something familiar about this man but Inukai couldn't place where he saw him before.
"Yes, sir…" Raiga answered quietly. He knows that it will take more than few days before the Prawn Fangire show revealed his plan but at least it will give Raiga time to figure out who is the most likely be the Fangire in the restaurant.
Inukai stares at the young man in front of him before making his own decision.
"Then I will give you a test trial. By the end of the day if I don't see any plates crushed on the floor or orders been mistaken, then you're hired." Inukai said. "Do you think that you can do that?" he asked.
"I understand," Raiga answered.
"Then let's begin the trial. Followed me." Inukai responds before gesturing Raiga to follow him.
(Play RISE- MADKID)
(Instrumental)
In the shadow, there were three figures that were standing in what looks like a dark room. Though it's unknown who other two are before focused on one who revealed to be none other than Raiga. His face was soon covered by the helmet of Kiva. The scene showed the Capital and then straight to the palace.
Oh oh oh oh oh ohh!
Oh oh oh oh oh ohh!
Raiga was standing looking over the heart of the capital and the people as the sun rising high over it.
Hikari mitsuketa kuuhaku no jikan!
Raiga was seen walking through the streets with a serious expression on his face. Flying above him was none other than Kivat the Third.
Mayoikonda chuuzuri no sekai!
The scene shown Fuuko is walking with chains on her wrists through a prison hallway and have despair look upon her face. The scene changed back to Raiga who continued his way through the street despite the cruelty life shown on the street.
Shinjirareru kotae sagashimotomete. Tada samayotteru!
Soon the screen shown back to Fuuko who reached to end of the cell and couldn't struggle with her chains.
Yeah!
Yubi no sukima nigeru light! Yosomi shiteru hima mo nai!
The screen soon changed to Tatsumi with the Night Raid organization with their Teigu.
Uketa kizuna ato sae kate ni! Seijaku kirisaiteku!
The screen shift from Tatsumi and Night Raid to that of the Jeager members.
Dare mo kare mo Dead or alive!
The screen soon shift to the throne room of the palace with Makoto and Honest while Budo and many imperial soldiers standing in the way.
Mamoru dake ja Can't survive!
Soon there is a sinister grin can be seen on the Prime Minister's face.
I don't wanna lie to myself!
Raiga soon finds himself dropped into the darkness as the memories of his home was burned reoccurring in his mind.
Keep on the fight, get right! I'll never lose and cry!
He didn't notice that he was in front of Fuuko's cell as the young girl noticed someone in front of her cell.
Keep run up day and night! Time to rewrite!
Soon the sky turned crimson as a mysterious white hooded figure standing over an army of monsters before a screen shown a massive figure sitting on a throne.
No matter what anyone say!
I find my way!Yeah, never go away!
Soon the screen between Raiga and Fuuko shattered to revealed Kiva and IXA standing back to back with each other. Soon Kivat the Third appeared on the screen and sang.
(Never go away!)
Now, nobody can't stop me no way! Wasurete shimau koto no nai you ni!
The Revolutionary army and the Imperial soldiers are fighting each other with the leading groups for each other; Night Raid and Jeager.
Nakushita mono subete torimodosu tame!
The screen shown inside Castle Doran was a throne with Kiva on it. Sitting nearby are the Arm Monsters in their human forms, Sayo, and Fuuko.
Rise suddenly in this world!
A child Raiga was on his knees in a ruin of the village and Bloody Rose was right beside him.
(I don't look back yeah)!
Kiva and his companions were back to back when the face against the white hooded man and army of monster before the man raising his head to send chilling winds. Kiva's companions were knocked back while Kiva holding his ground.
Kurikaesu tabi no hate!Nouri ni nokotta shippai nante!
Kiva soon places a red fuestle into Kivat's mouth and jumps into the air before coming down at him with a Darkness Moon Break. The white hooded figure revealed golden claws charged at him as the two collided as the screen turn white.
Zenbu torikaese ima Turn over! Rise suddenly in this world! (I don't look back yeah)
The scene changed to a meadow as Raiga continued his walk with Kivat riding on his shoulder and turned back to see Sayo and Fuuko as the two girls ran up to him. This made Raiga smile before they continued with their travel.
Oh oh oh oh oh ohh!
Oh oh oh oh oh ohh!
Raiga is standing in front of a table and listening to the customers' orders.
"Would that be all?" Raiga asked politely, writing down the orders on a notepad.
"Yes, of course." The man answered.
Raiga nodded then he went to the back of the kitchen in order to give the order to Chief Inukai who was setting up a few plates for him to take. Taking them in his hands, Raiga quickly paced out of the room and went back out to give the plates to their respective tables as he then went to take more orders and so on. Fortunately, he wasn't the only waiter in this restaurant so he won't have to worry about stressing himself out and have some time to figure out when Prawn Fangire going to strike next.
It's no surprise to him when the Prawn Fangire didn't show himself after their previous blow. But Fuuko's intellect gathering was accurate when the people who dine here disappear. All because of the Prawn Fangire gathering life energy into that orb of his. What in the world is he planning on doing with that?
Whatever happens, I will find out what will happened next… Raiga thought to himself. For now, he needs to focus on watching over the customers and wait patiently when the Prawn Fangire strikes.
Raiga soon heard a voice from one of the table as he snapped out of his thoughts and approached the table.
"Is something the matter?" Raiga asked politely.
"Excuse me, sir. Do you think we can get a refill?" The woman asked.
"Of course." Raiga answered before heading back to the kitchen in order to get more water for the customers.
It wasn't long until Raiga returned from his work at Maison Cercueil. Sayo is taking a break in her room after exercise training with Ramon. Raiga and Fuuko were talking over tea.
"I see. So the military didn't react to her death?" Fuuko replied with a surprised expression.
"I doubt they know about her death especially with the absence of her body to prove otherwise. They probably won't be aware of IXA's absence either," Raiga said before drinking his tea. He was also trying to find out anything about that guy but there were no clues to go on.
"Raiga-sama… what are you going to do after dealing with the Fangire?" Fuuko asked, getting Raiga's attention.
"I thought about leaving the capital which is my original intention." Raiga said, "And I think I'll probably stop by Sayo's village."
"Sayo's village…?"
"I'm sure that she might miss being back at her village after what happened. After hearing how they treat each other as family, they might also help Sayo with her PTSD issue." Raiga explains.
He thought it would be unfair for Sayo to be dragged further away from her home if he decided to leave.
"But it's also good for you as well." Raiga added, making Fuuko blink.
"Umm… me?" Fuuko asked.
"Well, you never stepped foot outside of the capital and this will be a good opportunity to expand your horizon." Raiga answered.
The idea sounds kinda of interesting to Fuuko as Sayo told her a lot about her village and curious about them. But it does make Fuuko feel a bit little envious that she has people who are close as a family waiting for her return.
"It might sound… interesting," Fuuko replied quietly. "Have you talked with Sayo about it yet?"
"Not yet..." Raiga replied.
"Is it true that we're going to my village?" Sayo asked, showing up in the main chamber.
"Yeah. I thought it will be good for a change of scenery after I finish the Fangire. I'm certain that it will be a place where you feel more relaxed than the capital itself." Raiga answered before a sorrow expression shown on Sayo's face.
"Does that mean you're… going to leave after leaving me in my village?" Sayo asked.
"That depends on whether or not if you want to stay in your village. It's your choice." Raiga answered as this made her look surprised.
"I see…" Sayo said. "Do you think it will be alright for me to tell them about what happened with Tatsumi and Ieyasu?" she asked.
"No one is stopping you from telling them. But I do think they deserve to know. You guys are family, after all." Raiga said.
This made Sayo smile. "Yeah… they deserve to know what happened."
(Next day)
It's another day at work in the Maison Cercueil, there were customers coming into the restaurant to try out famous dishes. But our attention focused on a table far from others and close to the window.
Even though they look completely different and dressed differently as well. Tatsumi is wearing a black hair wig and dressed differently while Leone wearing a one-piece red dress.
They were none other than Tatsumi and Leone as they carefully watch the other customers and waiter pass by. Even though the previous stakeout failed to find any information, they did, however, hear about another disappearance again. Najenda decided that Tatsumi and Leone will go there again despite Lubbock's dismay after seeing Leone in a fancy dress.
It wasn't long until Inukai comes to their table.
"Welcome," Inukai said with a warm smile, "I have a special meal prepared for you today. Something you two have never tasted before."
"I promise that it will be the greatest pleasure," Inukai said as he looking at both customers. But unknown to the two undercover assassins, Inukai stares interesting at the blonde hair woman.
This woman seems to be full of life energy… also I sense traces of Danger Beast mixed with her being. How interesting… Inukai thought.
"I hope so," Leone said smiling.
Inukai then left their table and leaving the two by themselves. Soon enough, a waiter comes to their table and delivering them cooked fishes.
The two soon eat the food before Leone's eyes widened in surprise.
"Oh my…"
"Is there something wrong?" Tatsumi asked.
"You're right, it's really good!" Leone chirped happily before digging into her foods.
I thought that she sensed something… He thought with sweat drop.
It wasn't long until the waiter returned with plates that held steaks as the undercover assassins ate them with happier expressions.
"It's like before… nothing bad seems to happen yet." Tatsumi whispered as he was looking around the restaurant.
"I see. I'm glad that you like the food." Suddenly both Leone and Tatsumi stopped eating before they turned around to see at a table not far from where they are.
Standing over a table was none other than Raiga who seems pleased that the customers like the dinner so far. Though his hairstyle is different and wearing glasses, they're certain that it was him.
"You…!" Leone growls angrily.
"Is there something the matter?" Raiga asked with a nonchalant expression. He wasn't surprised when he saw them eating and wearing disguises from the other table nearby. Not to mention Leone also has her arms again which he suspects that it's from using a different teigu.
"Don't give me that kind of crap! I still remember what you did to my arms!" The blonde haired woman snapped with venom as she still bitterly remembers him cutting her arms off.
"Leone, calm down! We cannot make a scene here." Tatsumi said, trying to hold her back from making a scene.
"I don't see anything wrong with them. Perhaps, you might mistake me for someone else." Raiga continued while making Leone feeling angrier than before.
Raiga soon turns around and assured to the customers that nothing is going here and that it all big misunderstanding. He soon turned around and making his way to the kitchen.
It was getting close to closing time as Raiga was seen moving across the hallway with a bucket and mop in his hands. With the customers and other workers left, Raiga volunteered to stay behind to do the cleaning up and watching the restaurant.
The only other person is around was Inukai, the chief chef and owner of the restaurant was working on something.
I guess I can see what the wine room is about… Raiga thought before walking quietly down the hallway. He remembers one time that Inukai told him during his tour of the restaurant was that workers are forbidden of going into the wine room. Though he agreed with stay out, he can't help feeling a bit curious about the room and why Inukai won't want anyone else to go there. But he have to find any clue between Prawn Fangire and restaurant.
As Raiga made his way to the room, he reached for the doorknob and finds it surprising that it's not locked. He slowly opens the door quietly before peeking inside the room.
His eyes are wide at what was inside the room. There weren't any wines but coffins!
Raiga closes the door behind him and approached the coffins carefully. He noticed that each of them have a unique rose with multiple colors on them.
Never seen these types before… Raiga thought to himself. He soon plucks one of the petals off the strange rose and placed it in his pocket.
He takes a peek inside one of the coffins and his eyes widen in surprise. Inside the coffin were shards of glass, but it wasn't just any shards but those from Fangire as Raiga has seen them many times before!
This soon clicked something in Raiga's mind as he made a conclusion about the connection between the Prawn Fangire and the restaurant. Soon the human identity of the Prawn Fangire also become much clear to him as a frown shown upon his face.
With nothing else interesting him in the room, Raiga soon left immediately and went to see Inukai still working.
"Boss, I'm finished with the cleaning," Raiga answered calmly.
"Well done," Inukai said while still looking over his cooking.
"What are you making right now?" Raiga inquired with curiosity.
"A dish that required special preparation," Inukai answered. "Something that even makes those who live misfortune die on the street with contended expression."
"Do you want me to clean the kitchen as well?" Raiga offered politely.
"No." Inukai said. "You can go home now."
Raiga stares at Inukai for a moment and left him before he changed out of his uniform. It wasn't long before he left the restaurant with his casual clothes on.
It wasn't long until he hears the sound of wings and saw Kivat come to greet him. The cartoon shaped bat land on his shoulder.
"How are you, Kivat?" Raiga asked.
"No sights of him either." Kivat said quietly. "What about your end?"
"Nothing out of the ordinary." Raiga shrugged before he and Kivat noticed two figure standing in their way in the dark alley. Tatsumi and Leone.
"What do you two want?" Raiga asked, become cold.
"We only want to talk, Raiga!" Tatsumi said. He already told Leone about not to resort to any attacks as he planned on talking with Raiga.
"The last time you Night Raid used that… you ambushed us!" Kivat scoffed sarcastically. "So why should we listened to you?"
"We only want to know what's going on with the disappearance with the customers and hope to prevent it!" Tatsumi said.
"As if we know the reason they were targeted." Raiga shrugged. "But if we did find anything, there is no reason for us telling you." He added with a serious expression.
"Why?" Tatsumi asked, looking shocked.
"Because Night Raid is nothing more than murders and cannot be trusted like those who work for the Empire." Answered Raiga.
"Don't compare them to us! We take care of those who been messed with others and abused their power!" Leone growls angrily when he insults her comrades and their ideals. "Don't you dare think that you are better than us when you aren't doing anything?!"
"That because we don't need to follow either you or Empire," Raiga said cold.
"Like if that works! In this world, only the strongest can survive!" Leone growl aggressive.
"And we're the ones who wrecked your rear." Kivat countered with a mocking expression. "So you have no right about telling us who is the strongest here!"
"Shut up!" Leone growls angrily when being reminded by what happened.
"I doubt throwing a temper tantrum will help your case when you mention the strongest survives," Raiga said. "Not to mention this show why we cannot trust your so-called promise of betterment for this country."
"How dare you call our promise of betterment weak!?" Leone snapped angrily.
"There are many things about you guys that make you same as Empire, but you cannot help those who suffered worse like Sayo!" Raiga pointed out as this made Tatsumi's eyes wide.
"S-Sayo…?" Tatsumi asked. "S-She's awake…?"He can't believe that after spending all this time training and working in Night Raid, he missed seeing Sayo regain consciousness!
"Yes, she also has PTSD." Raiga answered as Tatsumi's eyes widen in horror. "Something that no one, neither in Empire or Revolutionary Army cannot cure." He continued.
This made Leone look shocked as the anger left her. Those who live in the capital rarely get PTSD and the same goes for Night Raid themselves who never get them.
"No…" Tatsumi whispered in shock. "There's no way… Sayo… is supposed to be stronger than letting…"
"Did you really think there weren't going to be any backlashes after the torment she endured in the shed? She has reoccurring nightmares about what happened to her and Ieyasu." Raiga solemnly continued. He still remembers the nights when Sayo came to him and Fuuko after she her reoccurring dreams of her torment. They tried their best to console her the best they could.
This made Tatsumi feel more guilt as he collapsed to the ground and tears coming out of his eyes. For he wasn't there to help Sayo with her trauma that she didn't.
I…I should've been there… and helped her… Tatsumi thought with guilt.
Leone cannot help feel bad for Tatsumi before placing a hand on his shoulder and console him.
"Where…is she now…?" Tatsumi croaked.
"I took Sayo far away from the capital. I won't tell you where but she doesn't want to be part of the conflict between Empire and Revolutionary Army. I will make sure to keep it that way." Raiga answered.
"Now if you excuse us, we will be going now." Kivat said as he and Raiga leaving.
"Wait! We aren't done talking—" Before Leone could finish, both Raiga and Kivat soon flew off into the air and left them alone. This made Leone grit her teeth before she looks back at Tatsumi who is still on the ground.
"I see. I'm sorry about your friend." Najenda replied.
"So it's true that Revolution Army has no one who can handle PTSD or experienced it?" Asked Tatsumi in a neutral tone.
"It's true." Najenda said. Even herself is ill suited for handling those with PTSD and wasn't sure if she will be able to deal if one of her own with them.
"PTSD is really rare in the capital that people would think you're just deluded or something," Lubbock added his knowledge about it. Although he wonders if Raiga was lying but this is the first time he heard someone used PTSD.
Tatsumi didn't say anything as he turns around and leaving the meeting room.
"Tatsumi, what are you going?" Akame asked but Tatsumi didn't respond and continued marched down the hallway by himself.
Even Sheele looks sympathy toward Tatsumi after learning what happened with his friend.
"No, it is better that we leave him be for now." Najenda said with a sigh before looking at Leone. "So you weren't able to learn anything except that he was working there?" she asked.
"Not at all. Even if he refused to share, I can't help feel like he knows something about the cause." Leone explains.
Meanwhile Tatsumi was outside of the hideout by himself and was bashing his fists into a tree. He didn't care about what it will do to his hands as his anger continued to boil as he pictured a certain blonde hair girl with blue eyes in its place.
"Damn you… Aria! I won't forgive you for what you did!" Tatsumi growls furiously as he continued punching the mental girl in his mind, "I wished that I have made you suffer more and more! After what you did to Sayo!" he continued venting his anger out on the tree.
It wasn't long after he thrown out his strongest punch before he collapses on his hand and knees with tears flooding from his eyes.
"Damn you Aria, Damn you," Tatsumi then look at his knuckles covered in his blood, "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you Sayo... I'm so sorry," He didn't move from his spot, and just stay there crying.
It wasn't long for Raiga and Kivat to return back to Castle Doran. Raiga told Sayo and others about Night Raid trying to figure out the same thing as they were.
"It looks like they might end up as that Fangire's next meal if they keep getting in the way," Jiro remarked.
"Were you able to find out who is the Prawn Fangire?" Sayo asked. Though she is worried about Tatsumi but hopes that Raiga can defeat the Fangire before Tatsumi becomes the Fangire's meal.
"I already have a suspect. But it's hard that he knows how to prevent himself from being exposed so easily. Even when I have Kivat watching those who come in and out of the restaurant." Raiga said.
"Who is it?" Fuuko asked, curious.
Raiga soon revealed. "It was simple. The Prawn Fangire was none other than…"
(Next day)
Raiga comes into the restaurant at the usual time but he noticed that there were only a few staff members here.
"Good morning, boy." Inukai said, coming to greet him.
"Morning boss… where are the other staff members?" Raiga asked curiously.
"They ran into some unfortunate incidents and won't be able to make it," Inukai informed. "Since you're here, you'll be in charge of taking the orders as today is a special day."
Raiga soon let out a smile.
"I see… then I do my best to not fail in their absence, sir." He said before he went to the back room and fetching his uniform.
"Indeed, you won't."
So it will be time for you come out… then let's finished this fight, Raiga thought to himself.
(Few hours)
The day did go by very fast as there were only a few customers including Tatsumi and Leone for the special meal that night. He wasn't surprised that Night Raid hasn't given up about what's going on and decided to let them be the bait for everyone else. Raiga did his best to keep his composition as he waits for when the Fangire to slip up his movement.
It was the time when he placed the deserts around the respective tables and went back to the kitchen as he noticed Inukai went outside.
"Chef Inukai! This is the best food ever!" One of the customers said.
"Why, thank you… it's pleases me that people enjoy the food I've made for them." Chief Inukai said with a pleasing smile. But the one he seems to be focused on was Leone as her life energy drawing his attention a lot.
"This is the best thing ever!" Leone said smiling.
"Can't I have second?" Tatsumi asked the chief chef.
"Hmm… you seem to be quite eager for more." Inukai said with amusing expression. "Is everyone feeling the same?"
Everyone else nodded.
"Seeing you all eat to your heart's content… now you'll die." Inukai said before his fangire mark appeared on his face.
This scared everyone but made both Tatsumi and Leone look shocked at his face as Inukai launched his fangs at Leone in rapid speed and hits her. This made Leone scream in pain when the two fangs impaled on her shoulders.
"What the hell!?" Leone screamed in pain.
"Leone!" Tatsumi shouts in shock.
Before Inukai could drain her dry of her life force, he was hit by a pot of hot oil from behind and this sends him screaming in pain and stumbled across the floor. The one who throws the pot was none other than Raiga himself. This ends the effect of the energy drain fangs on Leone before Tatsumi caught her.
"Everyone, get out of here now!" Raiga ordered to the customers including undercover assassins.
Even though people look around shock at what happened, they were eager to run out of the restaurant including Tatsumi who carried Leone out of there. Inukai was back up on his feet and glaring intensely with his Fangire marks upon his face about to remove his disguise.
"You! I should've known something was off about you…" Inukai growls angrily at Raiga.
"Took you long. But I won't let you revive your kind!" Raiga said, holding his war fans in his hands.
"I will make you regret for daring to mess with my plan!" Inukai said before changing into his Fangire form.
Raiga soon charged forward and didn't give enough time for Prawn Fangire to defend himself. Sparks were flying up in the air as the Prawn Fangire was sent stagger backward in the process.
Lubbock soon comes out of his hiding place after seeing Tatsumi carried an unconscious Leone with him. He was assigned as a backup if anything went wrong with the mission.
"Tatsumi, what in the world is going on?" Lubbock asked.
"Bad news! The chef was a Fangire and bit Leone with those energy fangs things!" Tatsumi explains as this made Lubbock look shocked.
"Crap. Not this again…" Lubbock said with a déjà vu expression, "This wasn't the first time that a Fangire tried to eat Leone and she'll end up unconscious for a few days."
"I'm going get back at that bastard! Take care of her!" Tatsumi insisted before picked up his sword and ran back to where the battle.
"Wait, Tatsumi!" Lubbock shouts but Tatsumi didn't listen and runs off in a hurry.
Soon the Prawn Fangire has enough and fired bubbles from his mouth as Raiga dodged them by leaping backward. The Prawn Fangire saw the chance and make it outside of the restaurant.
"Get back here!" Shouted Raiga as he following the Fangire from behind.
It wasn't long until his partner shown up and land a surprise attack on the Prawn Fangire, it makes him rolling across the ground.
"Took you long…" Raiga said before moving back his waiter sleeve and raising his hand into the air.
"Let's go, aibou! Kivatte Ikuze!" Kivat said before biting Raiga's arm.
"GABUU!"
"Henshin…!" Raiga shouted before placing Kivat in his belt.
He soon wrapped in silver before it shattered and he transformed into Kiva.
Kiva soon charged at Prawn Fangire and sending a barrage of punches at him, sending him rolling across the street. After the Prawn Fangire got back up, Kiva followed with a double kick and then a roundhouse kick in the Fangire's chest.
The Prawn Fangire caught his fist and slammed him in the chest. But Kiva caught the next one and throws the Prawn Fangire over his shoulder as the Fangire was sending rolling across the ground.
The Prawn Fangire got back up firing bubbles from his jaw at Kiva but Kiva moved out of the way to avoid the attack. But the Fangire fired more and sent Kiva skidding back from him.
Soon the Prawn Fangire noticed a large shadow from above and looks up to see Tatsumi with his sword coming down at him. The Prawn Fangire brought up his spear to block the sword as Tatsumi gritting his teeth at the Fangire.
"Tatsumi!" Kiva shouts in shock.
"You'll pay for what you did, Fangire!" Tatsumi growls but the Prawn Fangire soon shoved him away and sending Tatsumi skidding back.
"Hoho… what can a human like you do?" The Prawn Fangire chuckled in a mocking tone.
"Don't look down on us!?" Tatsumi growls before the Prawn Fangire charged at him.
Tatsumi tried his best to block Prawn Fangire's attacks with his sword but it wasn't long until the Fangire kicked him straight into the wall.
This made Kiva looks angry before he jumped into the air and slamming a sidekick to Prawn Fangire's head. This caused him to be thrown back across to a lamppost.
"Oi," Kivat said from his perch on the belt, "Let me fight too!" With that, he disconnected from the belt, "IKUZE!"
Kivat flew over to the Fangire, flying all around him while he slashed at the Prawn Fangire with his sharp wings, "Can you keep up with my speed?" Kivat mocked the Fangire before flying a few feet away from the Fangire. The mechanical bat quickly turned back to the Fangire and did his own version of Kivat's kick as he slammed a flying side kick into his chest.
Kiva waited for Kivat to fly away from the Fangire before he charged forward. The Rider jumped into the air and went into a flying side kick, slamming his right foot into the Fangire's chest. Prawn Fangire was sent straight to a brick wall and into a large pile of filled up burlap sacks sending dust into the air. Kiva quickly raced over to where the Fangire landed but he was gone.
Where did he go? Kiva thought as he scanned around the area for any signs of the Fangire.
Tatsumi let out a groan and saw Lubbock and Leone in front of him.
"Tatsumi, are you alright?"
"Yeah… I think so," Tatsumi groan as he managed to get himself up, "What happened?"
"You were out for almost an hour," Lubbock said.
"Where is that bastard?" Leone asked.
"I don't know… but he still fighting him," Tatsumi said.
The Prawn Fangire was slowly crawling away from Kiva. But it wasn't long until his injury became too much for him and he quickly turned to the sky with a rose whose blooming bud had multiple colors on it in his right hand. He raised his left hand towards the sky and quickly took the life energy he had been gathering for a long time into a large beach ball-like orb hovering just above his hand.
"The life energy that I've gathered," Prawn Fangire said to himself as he gathered as much energy as he had left, "I will add my own life to it… NOW REVIVE MY COMRADES!"
With that thought, the ball of energy was absorbed into the rainbow colored rose which flashed briefly for a second before returning to normal. At that time Kiva had reached where Prawn Fangire was and he jumped into the air. As he came down ready to slam his right fist into Prawn's face, the Fangire seemingly shattered on his own.
This made Kiva looks shocked at what happened.
In the same hidden room beneath the restaurant that Inukai was using as a base, sat five old wooden coffins each with a single rose on the top that is identical to Prawn Fangire's. The rosebuds started to glow before they seemingly phased into the coffins as a wave of light slowly flowed over each coffin.
Each of the coffins slammed open as glass shards, similar to the ones left behind by slain Fangire, floated out and left the room. All the windows in the place slammed open as the shards made a bit for freedom before they gather together in one spot above the building and began to glow brightly. From the glow, something large and menacing came out of it before shooting up into the sky.
Kiva clenched the rose tightly before he turned around and finding himself facing against the three Night Raid members.
"Where is that bastard!?" Leone demands angrily.
Kiva pointed with his right thumb at the pile of glass shards.
"Did you kill him…?" Tatsumi asked with a surprised expression.
Kiva didn't say anything as he was going to move on his way before Leone stops him by standing in his way and glaring at him.
"You aren't going anywhere until you tell us what you know, you bastard!" Leone demands.
"H-Hey… what's that?" Lubbock asked as he pointed to the sky. Night Raid assassins, as well as Kiva and his partner, looked up.
"W-What!?" Both Kiva and Kivat exclaimed as they saw something they didn't want to see falling toward them.
Everyone moved out of the way as the thing dropped right where they were a second ago. It also caused the buildings nearby crushed in the process.
Tatsumi, Leone, and Lubbock gasped in shock and horror as they saw what had come down. The most accurate term they knew to describe such a thing was the word 'demon'. It was shaped like a large blue and black chandelier, but that was where the resemblance ended. It had a long neck connected to a skull-like head with four red eyes forming a square like diamond and four gold flaps on it, two covering its eyes from the top of its head a two covering its mouth from the sides. It had long mechanical arms that looked skeletal too and ended with long and sharp claws. It unleashed a roar as it focused its eyes on them.
"W-What in the world is that?!" Tatsumi exclaimed in shock of encounter anything like that. Even Leone look shocked at the size of the thing!
"Damn, a Sabbat?!" Kiva shouted out.
The Sabbat roared and brought down its claw on them. Leone grabbed Tatsumi and Lubbock used his string to escape while Kiva was forced to move out of the way as the claw came down and took a chunk out of the ground.
Kiva soon starts running after the Sabbat get up and it starting firing energy shards across the street and toward the castle wall in a blaze.
"Damn it! Leone, can't you do anything against that?" Tatsumi asked.
"I don't know if I can win against something that big…" Leone said awkwardly. Her animal instincts tell her that there is no way for her to winning against that thing.
"Are you serious!?" Tatsumi exclaimed.
Kiva soon leaps onto a rooftop of a building as the Sabbat continued causing untold chaos in the streets of the capital.
"Kiva, better call our secret weapon now!" Shouted Kivat.
Kiva soon placed a fuestle into Kivat's mouth.
"CASTLE DORAN!"
The illusion concealing Castle Doran faded away as the dragon stretched its neck out and flapped its wings. Castle Doran then leaped into the sky, flapping its unusually smaller wings as it followed the call of its master for help.
The Sabbat looked around for its prey and finally find him. With a roar, it rushed at them, destroying the rooftop of a building just to get to him. Just then Castle Doran arrived and tackled into the Sabbat, sending it flying sideways.
"Alright, Castle Doran!" Kivat cheered. "Show that thing what you can do!"
The draconic castle roared loud before flying over the buildings to engage the Sabbat. The Night Raid assassins cannot believe their eyes when they saw Castle Doran and their jaws dropped in shock. But it wasn't just them being shocked as those who were close when the destruction cannot help but stay where they were and dropped their jaw at the titanic battle going on in the capital.
Kiva then watches, as the two giants clashed against each other before the Sabbat throws Castle Doran aside and crushing several buildings under its weight before firing energy shards at the dragon. The Sabbat then throw the dragon into the river and it sank.
Soon the Sabbat turns around and resuming the destruction of the capital with energy crystals.
Kivat, in the corner of his eye, looked to see a small red dragon with a long neck, tail, wings, and a horn on its snout, and is in a windmill building, pops out of the water and turns to the down Castle Doran.
This is Shoodoran.
"Shoo-chan, don't just watch, come out! You're needed!" Kivat called, "COME HERE!"
Shoodoran then flies out of the way as the windmill spins as it flies, and head to Kiva and Kivat, before Kiva jumps and grabs onto the bottom of Shoodoran, and soon flies to Castle Doran.
(Play Destiny's Play OST)
Castle Doran got back on its feet, Shoodoran dropped Kiva off to the front of its castle body, before he let go, and Shoodoran attaches itself to the back on top of Castle Doran, which made purple lights in the windows to appear.
Castle Doran unleashed a roar right before it took flight with its now enlarged wings.
The Sabbat fires crystal spikes at Castle Doran, but the living fortress flaps its wing, making a strong enough gust of wind, to throw some of them straight to the palace while some hits against the Sabbat.
Castle Doran and Shoodoran roared once again as they attacked. The towers on the front of Castle Doran's body went down so that their roofs were pointed forward before they were fired like missiles. Castle Doran also fired fireballs from his mouth as Shoodoran began firing fireballs too.
The barrage of attacks from both dragons is wearing down the Sabbat with large chunks of glass being flung up into the air.
Kiva soon charged forward at this moment.
When he got to the edge of the clock tower's roof just above Castle Doran's neck, he jumped high into the air. As he came down in front of Castle Doran's head, the great dragon fired another fireball that launched Kiva who was in a flying side kick stance. The chains wrapped around his right armored boot shattered as the armor opened up with red wings.
Kiva soon smashed through the Sabbat and come out the other side. He then lands gratefully on top of a building.
(Song ending)
The Sabbat roared as its entire body exploded. Nothing was left of it except for the Fangire souls that made up its body. Castle Doran and Shoodoran began to gobble up the souls.
Kivat flew up from the perch and complimented, "Good job."
Kiva looks at the damages that the Sabbat has done. Several buildings were on fire or destroyed, Kiva then looks at the palace in the center of the capital which has some burning building and smoke from it.
"It's time for us to leave the capital and go elsewhere," Kiva said with finality in his tone. With IXA system out of the enemy's hands and Sabbat being taken care of, there is no need for them to be here any longer.
"It's probably a good time too…" Kivat agreed.
With Kivat returning to his perch, Kiva got out his war fans and soaring into the air with Shoodoran and Castle Doran as the three disappeared into the night sky.
Unknown to them, the same white-hooded man was watching them from one of the buildings that wasn't damaged.
"Were you able to fetch it?" The white hooded man asked to the shadow figure emerged out of the shadow. Thought it was still too dark, but the figure's appearance resembled that of a plant.
"With everyone screaming and watching the fight, I was able to steal that crown easily from the so-called Honest… and gave them quite a scare." the figure mused before showing what looks like a crown.
The white hooded man took the crown before shattered it to piece with his hand and the only thing was left was a purple crystal.
There is no doubt it to him as this was none other than the Anti-Teigu Erastone.
"I still don't get why you need something like that crystal for?" The figure asked.
"Let just say that it's insurance. There is something in the palace that I hope won't be released or it will ruin everything." The white hooded figure explains.
"I understand." The shadow figure said.
"Let's go… we still have preparations need to prepare." The white hooded man said as he and shadow figure moved.
The rest of Night Raid members can't move from where they were after hearing the accounts from Leone, Tatsumi, and Lubbock about what happens in the capital.
"How can something that bigger hiding from the Empire's eye this long!?" Mine exclaimed in shock and disbelief as she speaks out for the rest of Night Raid who are in shock.
"I never heard of anything like that in my life." Akame said.
"It was my first time to see anything that massive fight in the capital." Lubbock said, "They literally brought blazed straight from the street to the castle wall itself!"
But what about Budo? Why didn't he show up after this Sabbat thing? Najenda pondered.
"But why the hell did he leave? He could've gone straight into the Castle and ended Honest by blowing up if he wanted it…" Leone said.
"Maybe he is too much of a coward to face against the capital!" Mine gloated.
"I highly doubt about that…" Bulat said.
"What do we do if we encountered a Sabbat thing? It cannot be the only one." Sheele asked with worried.
"That I'm not sure. But we might need to stay clear of them due to how much power they can use to razer up the capital." Najenda said. "However… this made him liability."
"Liability …?" Tatsumi asked, confused.
"In other words, a dangerous threat that needs to be eliminated." Mine answered sharply as this made Tatsumi's eyes wide.
"B-But… he has Sayo! He won't get her involved in the conflict between Empire and Revolutionary Army!" Tatsumi shouts.
"I know. But the Empire will come after him and will use anything at their disposal to get him to join their side, thus hindering the revolution that we seek for the people." Najenda said. "Though he is too powerful… for us to even eliminate on our own. But we can't know the risks of who he told Lubbock, Leone, and Mine or our revolution will be doomed."
To be continued…
AN: That is the end of the chapter. Yeah, I thought about time to puts an opening for it and using RISE from Rising of the Shield Hero anime for it. The fight between Kiva and Castle Doran against the Sabbat certainly startled a lot of people especially Night Raid themselves.
Also, I have three reasons for not having Raiga just end the corruption by blowing up the castle with Honest and those in it despite people think he can end the corruption that easilyXD
1. If he destroyed the castle by giving the order, it will also result in collateral damage to many buildings and hundreds of innocent civilians due to how the capital is structure.
2. This related to the first reason with the civilian unable to get away from the destruction and Raiga cannot relied on soldiers for evacuation due to the possibility of them being corrupted and unreliable. Not to mention the Revolutionary Army are too far to even help the civilian.
3. Even if the destruction of the imperial castle is successful, there is still Makoto's teigu Shikoutazer and if it clashed with Castle Doran… I don't know how the fight will turn out except there will be a lot of destruction and countless corpse increased.
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.
