Hey guys, Andrew78591, here with a new chapter of Empire's Doomsday. Sorry if this took long to post as Toxin Ga Kill! ch.2 was taking longer to post and I was working on the Danganronpa fanfic a bit. But, chapter 8 is here for you all to read and enjoy. Also, this chapter reached over a 150 comments, hooray for me. With that out of the way, let's answer some questions:
First commenter has two questions: What's Dorethea up to? And will Nightraid and the surviving Jaegers learn about Doomsday's monstrous origin? These questions will be answered in this chapter.
Next question: How many characters are you going to let live? I won't answer this as I want it to be a surprise.
Man, the number of questions I get are becoming smaller. Whatever, now on to the suggestions:
First one is Akame Ga Kill! X John Carpenter's The Thing. I really like this idea and I might do this one.
Second is another Soul Eater crossover with Akame Ga Kill! with only Maki, Soul, and Crona entering this world. Like I before, I don't think I'll be doing any Soul Eater fanfics anytime soon, but nonetheless, thanks for the suggestion.
Third is Brainiac coming to the world of AGK. I really like this one. I may consider it.
Fourth idea is Tatsumi having the Nine Tails sealed in him. Okay, I'm going to make this very clear. I will not do any Naruto or Harry Potter fanfics. Unless I have an idea of one, I will not do them. Besides, other writers have already beaten me to the punch on this. I feel like I can't add anything new to these franchises. So my sorry, but no Naruto or Harry Potter ideas, please.
Fifth one is a Resident Evil x Akame Ga Kill crossover. I like the idea, but won't do since I've only ever played Resident Evil 4. Also, Chris Redfield, in the game, has taught me how to properly push a giant boulder: by punching it multiple times.
Sixth is two Jurassic World idea: one is the Indominus Rex coming to the world of AGK. Second one is Nightraid and the Jaegers teleported to Jurassic World. The second I won't do, sorry. The first one however I might do, but I got to buff the fuck out of Indominus or she'll die quickly by either Nightraid or the Jaegers.
Seventh suggestion is the transformers in the world of AGK. Not sure about this one. I'll say a maybe.
Eighth idea is the Kaijus from Pacific Rim come into the world of Akame Ga Kill! Neat idea, but I'll have to say no. I don't an idea on how to do this one.
Ninth is very different. This idea is the cast of Soul Eater helping Kratos on his revenge on Zeus. Like I said before, I won't be doing any Soul Eater fanfics. That and I don't see how this fanfic could work honestly.
Tenth idea is the Holy Grail War in the world of Akame Ga Kill! Sorry, but no. I'm not into the Fate Stay Night series and I have no interest in doing this.
Eleventh: the Purge and Akame Ga Kill crossover fanfic. Neat, but no. I don't see how this fanfic can be executed properly.
Twelfth: Akame ga Kill!xSharknado crossover. Maybe but it will be a joke fanfic.
Thirteenth: Until Dawn X Akame Ga Kill! crossover. Mostly focusing on the Wendigos. I'll have to decline as I've barely played this game.
Fourteenth: This commenter gave me three ideas on an Akame Ga Kill! X Witcher 3 crossover. I'll have to decline all three of them. Mainly because I've never played the game. It never caught my interest. Sorry man.
Fifteenth: Two ideas: Fin and Jake from Adventure Time in the world of Akame Ga Kill! I'll do the Lich in the world of Akame Ga Kill, but this one doesn't interest me. Next is the cast of Steven Universe in the world of Akame Ga Kill! Not interested in this one either as I don't see these franchises fitting together for this crossover at all.
Sixteenth: Nightraid and the Jaegers in the world of Agony. Don't know anything about the Agony franchise and not interested.
Seventeenth: Akame Ga Kill and Hellraiser movie crossover. Never seen the movies and not interested.
Eighteenth: Nightraid and the Jaegers from Akame Ga Kill came to Spider-Man's world(the PS4 one that is.) Just to make things clear, I haven't played the newest Spiderman game. Maybe in the future, but not right now. Also not interested in doing it.
Nineteenth: Adventure Time's vampires from the Stakes miniseries in the world of Akame Ga Kill! Not really into the idea, but thanks anyway.
Twentieth: Kratos comes to bring the destruction of the Empire! I'll put this in the maybe list. Also, I will not let Atreus be kill by my most hated character in the series, FrostyMcTits. Yes that will be Esdeath's nickname now.
Twenty-First: God Hand from Berserk coming to the world of Akame Ga Kill and making Tatsumi their fifth member! Haven't read Berserk yet and I don't feel like it.
Twenty-Second: Class 1-A and others from My Hero Academia in the world of PS4 Spiderman. Like the idea, but don't feel like it. And again, I haven't played the game yet.
Twenty-Third: Ghost Rider and Akame Ga Kill crossover. This one I can do later on.
Twenty-Fourth: Predator and Akame Ga Kill crossover. I don't know about this one, but I'll just say no. Sorry.
Last one, finally: Eren from Attack on Titan having the Vemon symbiote. I like the anime and the symbiotes, but I'm not interested on doing it. Sorry man.
Jesus, you guys love to give me a bunch a suggestion ideas. I know they're optional, but still.
Finally, with all that out of the way, let's get on with the chapter.
Aaaaaaaannnnnnnd begin;
Eastern Area of the Capital
In the Eastern Side of the Capital, eveything seemed normal. Well, it was normal compared to the destruction happening in the other areas of the city. Because of how this area was unaffected by the carnage that was happening, the Revolutionary Army were able to evacuate the entire population there no trouble. So, this area was completely quiet with very few people there. One of the few people being Tatsumi, Akame, Susanoo carrying Najenda, and Kurome with Natala while he was carrying Wave.
It had been about fifteen minutes since their retreat from the unknown danger beast that was destroying the city and they were currently heading to the rendezvous point. Everyone were very quiet and grim due to seeing this unknown danger beast. Seeing the power it possessed. This was something they have never before when it came to any other danger beast. The fact that it took down Wave so easily, even with Grand Chariot, showed that the monster was not to be underestimated.
While they were all affected by the creature's presence, the one that was most effective was Tatsumi. After what the monster did to Bulat, his bro, he could only feel anger and regret. He was angry at the monster for killing his mentor and regretful that he couldn't do anything to save him. In his mind, he would make sure that thing would pay for what it has done to Bulat and to everyone in this city.
After about 30 seconds of running, they finally made it to the rendezvous point: Lubbock's book store. As they got there, they see that there are many soldiers from the Revolutionary army there. As the group got closer, they notice that General Twiggs was there as well.
"General Twiggs," yelled out Susanoo. This gets the general's attention as he looks at the group. "Nightraid, why are you all here? What happen?" he said and then he notices Kurome and immediately questions them. "And what the hell is she doing here?!" he demanded.
Tension was build with Kurome when she came face to face with one of the generals of the Revolutionary Army. Kurome wasn't scared of him per say since she could kill him with not much effort. What she was scared of was the possibility that the Revolutionary Army won't help Wave get medical attention. After all the things she did to them and their allies, along with what her teammates and general have done as well, Kurome could tell that they would not want to come to her aid. She was in a situation were killing and talking weren't options for her to use. She felt trapped. She felt that Wave could die if she didn't do something.
Luckily, Akame came to her sister's aid as she talked to Twiggs, "She's with me Twiggs. Her ally, Wave, had just fought the monster and is in a desperate need of medical attention now." Kurome looked at her sister with awe as she was helping her so much despite being enemies before. "And why should I help the enemy?" Twiggs said back.
"Because, right now, we need them." Twiggs, along with everyone else look at Susanoo as he was the one that spoke out, "Twiggs, I understand that what Kurome has done in the past cannot be ignored or forgiven. But, right now, we cannot dwell on it. We need to focus on taking down the danger beast that's destroying the city. And after seeing the creature's power, we're going to need every potential ally we can get if we are to kill the monster for good."
Twiggs paused for a bit and though about what Susanoo said. At first, it looked like he wasn't into the idea, but then he sighs and said, "Fine. Akame, you will be in charge of looking after her and making sure she doesn't cause trouble." Akame nods at this and then looks at her sister and smiles. Kurome does the same thing and smiles back. "Alright, let's head inside and get our guest's ally some help. Luckily, Doctor Banting is here and is treating one of your teammates," said Twiggs as he lead the group inside the bookstore.
As eveyone entered the bookstore, they see that the selfs and books were moved to make more space for the soldiers inside. They also notice that the secret entrance to their imperial secret base was wide open. When they walked down the stairs and into the hideout, they were greeted to the rest of Nightraid. Leone was currently drinking whatever liquior there was, Lubbock was sitting on the couch, resting, and Chelsea was leaning on the wall as she was sucking on a lolipop.
Leone was the first to wave them hello, "Hey guys, how's it going?" she said all cheery. But her cheerful expression changed to shock as she see Kurome and Wave with them. Her expression again changed to anger and said, "Okay, what the hell is she doing here?" "Kurome is with me. I'll explain everything later. Right now, Wave needs to see Dr. Banting," said Akame, defending her younger sister. Leone looks at Akame for a bit and then sighs, "Okay then. Doc is in the room to the right. He's currently treating Mine."
As soon as Leone had finish talking, the door to the right room opened and out came Mine and Banting. Mine had badages on her left arm and on her upper torso. "That should do it for you, Mine. You can still fight, but make sure not to push yourself too much or your injuries will get worse. For now, you should rest," he said to Mine as she nodded at his response.
"Banting, you have another patient that needs your help," said Akame with Kurome and Natala, who was carrying Wave, next to her. The doctor see Wave and Kurome and asks, "Why are two of the Jaegers doing here?" "I'll explain everything you need to know. Right now, that young man needs you," said Susanoo as he lay Najenda on an empty couch as Lubbock checks on her. "Okay then. Grab him and bring him into the room immediately. I'm also going to aquire your assistence" he stated as he went into the other room. Susanoo walked towards Natala and grabs Wave into his arms and carried him.
But before he moved, Susanoo felt a hand touch his arm and see the hand belong to Kurome. Kurome looks at him with saddness and desperation written in her face. "Please makes sure he lives," she said beggingly. Susanoo smile at her and said, "Don't worry, he's in good hands." With that, Susanoo went into the other room to help the doctor heal up Wave. Kurome looked atthe hdoor and placed her hands on her chest as she began to worry for her teammate. Then Akame place her hand on her sister's shoulder for comfort. Kurome looked at her and smile at Akame with the assassin doing the same.
After all that, Najenda woke up from her rest and got up as she rubbed her head. As she got into a sitting position, Najenda looked around to see all the Nightraid members here, along with Kurome. She was rather confused by what was happening as she fell unconscious after her battle with Esdeath. "Okay, can somebody tell me what's happening and why a Jaeger is here?"
"Alot happened to us while you were resting," said Akame. "Not only that, but all of us have something to report on," Lubbock intervened. "Well, if that's the case, then let's heard each other out," Najenda said as she waited for who would say their report first.
After a while, when everyone gave out their reports, everyone in the room was silent from shock after hearing what was happening out there. Kurome was sadden to hear that Seyru and Run were killed by the monster. Mine was surprised that the danger beast was still alive, despite it being caught in Seryu's suicide bomb. Nightraid were sadden when they heard that Sheele and Bulat were dead. But what was shocking to all of them was, not only did this danger beast kill the Great General Budo, Prime Minister Honest, and Emperor Makato, but a singlehandily overthrew and destroy the Empire so easily. The creature did something that would take years to do, all in less than a day.
"So that's what has happen," Najenda said grimly, "Sheele... Bulat... we will make sure that your deaths will not be in vain."
"So, what now?" asked Lubbock. "Now that we have seen the monster's power, we will devise a plan. Right now, the creature is currently facing Esdeath, so for now, we wait things out and see who is the victor and kill the winner in their weaken state. But, we're going to need a plan for both Esdeath and the danger beast," Najenda said.
"Yea, that sounds good for now," said Lubbock and continued, "I'll go get Twiggs to help us with the plan." "Please do," replied Najenda as Lubbock left the hideout and back up to the book shop. With that, Najenda then looked at Kurome and said, "Kurome, with all that has happened, what are you going to do now?" "What do you mean?" Kurome asked. "With the Empire no more and the city in chaos, you are basically free to do what you want now," Najenda said
Kurome was a silent by this as it was true. With the Empire gone, she was free now. While she was still a member of the Jaegers, Kurome doubt that matter anymore considering what was happening out there. At this point, the Black Eyed Assassin didn't really know what to do anymore. She had served the Empire for so long in order to not let her allies' sacrifices be in vain. But in the end, it was all for nothing. Kurome was confused now: should she leave the city, join the group, still do what she always did, etc.
While Kurome was still thinking through what to do, Akame placed her hand on her little sister's shoulder to get her attention and said, "Kurome, you don't have to take part of this fight. You don't a reason to do so anymore. You can leave and do what you want now and I'll can make sure it will happen. Whatever you choose, I'll respect your decision." Kurome smiled at her sister for her words. After a while of thinking, she made her decision. "Okay then. I want to help you all kill this monster.
Everyone, even Akame, were surprised to hear that Kurome was going to join them in killing the danger beast. "May I ask why, Kurome?" said Najenda. "Simple, the creature has caused nothing but pain to me and Wave. It not only put Wave in that condition after their fight, but it also killed Bols along with his family and our allies. The monster needs to pay for what it's done, but I can't do this alone after seeing it's power. Even if I've done some terrible things to you guys in the past, I want to join in on exterminating the danger beast," Kurome said boldy.
"Just to let you know, if you do join us, you will most likely have to face Esdeath as well," Najenda stated to the Black Eyed Assassin. She simply shrugs and said, "I know, but knowing her, she would want to stall the battle with the monster for her own enjoyment and more will be killed because of that. So, we have to prevent that."
"If this is what you want, Kurome, then I'll be by your side," said Akame. "Then it has been decided. Kurome, welcome to the Revolutionary Army. I hope that with your help, we can stop this monster once and for all," said Najenda. "Thank you," Kurome said with a smile.
Just when the conversation was finished, the right door to the other room opened and Dr Banting and Susanoo come out. As soon as they were out, Kurome got up from her seat and ran towards the doctor, "What's wrong with Wave? Is he okay?" she asked worriedly. The doctor looked at her and calmly explained, "Your comrade is dealing with an extremely sore right arm, some of his bones are broken, and he's unconscious. But, other than that, he's fine."
"Indeed," intervened Susanoo, "I honestly thought he would be suffering more severe injuries. But I believe that it was thanks to his armor teigu that really helped. His condition would have been worse, if not, for Grand Chariot protecting him. Right now, he's resting. You can go see him if you like." With that said, Kurome immediately went into the room to check on Wave.
"Have you explained everything to Banting?" asked Najenda. "I explained everything I knew so far and we heard the reports and your conversation from the other room," explained Susanoo, "Speaking of which, do you have any plan on how we're going to deal with this mess?"
Najenda sighs and said, "I don't know to be honest. While we have a general idea on how the monster acts and some of it's powers so far, it's finding the method to kill the danger beast that's the problem. There could still be more about the monster we don't know about. But, there is also Esdeath that we also have to deal with. She's one of the main obstacles that prevent us from having peace be brought into the Empire. We already now how to deal with her, but there could another trick she has up her sleeve. It was bad enough with Esdeath, but now, we have another monster to deal with. So, we have to plan this carefully or else either one of those monsters will continue to reek havoc onto the city."
As Nightraid continued to think a plan on how to kill the danger beast, General Twiggs came in as he had some papers in his hand. "Najenda. I got something that you will want to see," he said. "What is it, Twiggs?" she asked. "One of my scouts found this in the wreckage of the Palace. These papers are a little burned, but still readable. These papers contain information from the Empire on what they learn about the creature. There's not much, but we could use this to our advantage," he explained.
Najenda looked through the papers, but was somewhat disappointed as the information on the papers was something she already knew. The only thing that caught her eye was how it described the danger beast to be very single minded as it only seemed to focus on killing and nothing else. And a actually drawn photo of what the creature looks like. While she did see the monster, Najenda didn't get a good look at it, so the photo was of some help.
"Ugh, while this wasn't much help, we do now have a proper look on the monster drawn on this paper," said Najenda as she places the photo on the table for everyone to see. Most of them grimaced at the look of the danger beast as it was responible for so many deaths in this city. Chelsea was very awed and a bit frightened by what this danger beast looked like. It was like nothing she had ever seen before. "Damn, this thing is something alright. It looks very dangerous," said Chelsea in awe and then decided to be playful, "Hey Leone, I bet you want a rematch after it defeated you so easily, am I right?"
Then everyone heard the sound of glass breaking. As they look to where it came from, they see that Leone had dropped her bottle of alcohol. It was shocking to see Leone, of all people, to drop her bottle like that, but what shock them even more was Leone herself. The assassin had a look of horror on her face as her eyes were looking at the picture of the monster. She began to sweat, her body was shaking, her skin was looking very pale. Leone had a look as if she had seen a ghost. The assassin began to back away from the photo until she hit the wall. "No, no, no..." she mudderrd to herself. Her eyes began to water as she looked like she was about to cry. Her breathing became extremely heavily. And she cover her head with her arms. The sight was very unsettling for everyone to see. Leone, the most hot blooded assassin, had the look of fear on her face.
As everyone in the room kept staring at Leone, Lubbock was the first to take action. He notice Leone started to act scare the moment she look at the photo, so he flipped the photo upside down. Then he ran towards Leone to calm her down. "Leone, breath. Nice and calm now," instructed Lubbock. Leone did what she was told and breathed normally again. Akame then went to Leone's side to comfort her friend. "Leone, what's going on? What's happening to you?" Akame said in concern.
As soon as Leone calmed down, she began to let her tears out and cry. "I'm pathetic. I'm fucking pathetic," she said quietly to herself as she cover her eyes with her hands.
Akame looks at Lubbock and asks, "Lubbock, what's going on here? Why is Leone acting like this?" Lubbock sighs, realizing something and responded, "I was going to explained this sooner. But, because of all the crazy stuff that happened, it slipped through my mind." "Well, what's happening to her?" asked Najenda.
Lubbock was silent for a bit until he finally spoke, "Remember how Leone was easily defeated by that danger beast a while back?" Najenda, including everyelse, nodded at his question. "Well, I bring this up, because when me and Leone encountered the monster again, she fell on her hands and knees completely froze in fear. It was something I never thought I see Leone do something like that."
Najenda was very shock to hear that this happened to Leone and asked, "Well, what do you think is causing this?" "I believe I know what the cause of this is," intervened Dr Banting as he continued, "I've seen this happen many times with our soldiers after any battle that had happen with the Empire. While this is rare, it can happen to some of them if they faced an extremely frightening opponent like Esdeath. What Leone is going through is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD for sort."
Everyone was shocked to hear this. The fact that Leone, the most hot-blooded and energetic assassin in Nightraid, had PTSD from the monster truly showed that the danger beast was truly a force to be reckon with. Najenda cursed to herself at their situation as now she has to deal with one of her members having PTSD. "What do we do now, master?" asked Susanoo
"For now, we continue on creating a plan for dealing with either Esdeath or the danger beast. As for Leone, someone please comfort her and get her some more alcohol to calm her down," said Najenda. Akame took Leone onto one of the couches and sat her down while she and Tatsumi comfort her the best that they could. Susanoo than sent upstairs to the bookshop to find any more alcohol for Leone.
"Boss, what do we do with Leone, now that had PTSD? asked Chelsea. "I don't know to be honest. This is the first real time I had to deal with this problem. I'm just as lost as you all are," replied Najenda. "I'm sorry." Najenda looked to see Leone as she was the one who spoke out.
"I'm suppose to be one of the bravest assassins in this group. I've taken on the likes of the Jaegers and Esdeath herself and never once showed fear or beg for mercy. But today, I let fear consume me. I allowed that monster to become my fear. And now, I can't even face it without becoming paralyzed just by looking at it. I feel pathetic. I feel like a hindrance, now. I'm sorry," said Leone in a sadden tone.
As Leone sat on the counch with her head down and tears in her eyes, Tatsumi placed his hand on her shoulder. "Leone, don't say that," he said, "Just because you're afraid of this monster, doesn't mean we're mad or disappointed in you."
"He's right, Leone. While this will be a challenge to deal with your PTSD, we will find a way. Also don't be ashamed of being afraid. Everyone, no matter how brave they are, will always have something to fear. Like me when Esdeath did this to me," Najenda said as she was referring to her prophetic arm and eyepatch, "There is always something that will make us feel uneasy or make us unsure if we can do certain things because our fears hold us back. While a fear can never truly be overcomed, we can still push it aside whenever we have to. Like I do whenever I have to face my old colleague. Remember Leone, do not let fear stop you from doing what you have to do."
While those words didn't completely soothe Leone, they did help Leone to regain her confidence again as she smiles once more. "Thanks boss. I really needed that," Leone said happily. "That's good to hear," Najenda replied.
As they finish talking, Susanoo comes back with a bottle of alcohol. "Najenda, Twiggs, we have someone that wants to meet with both of you," said Susanoo as a man appears next to him. It was a man in his early 20s that had black hair and wore glasses. He also had a white trench coat, black pants, and black boots. The most notable feature on him was how he was wearing the teigu, Omnipotent Five Sight: Spectator, that looked like a green eye. This was the current user of the Spectator teigu named Tyler. He looked very tired and had some tears on his clothes as if he had been in a fight.
"Tyler, what are you doing? Weren't you and your team supposed to handle the chaos back in the Northern Area?" questioned Twiggs.
"We were, but things got... out of control," Tyler replied. "What do you mean out of control? And more importantly, where are the other two?" Twiggs asked.
"They're dead, captain. I was the only one to survive," Tyler said grimly.
"What?! How did this happen and how did you survive?" demanded Twiggs.
"Rather than tell you, I'll show you what happened," Tyler said as he activated Spectator. As the green eye opened, everyone in the room were showed the vision of when Tyler and his two teammates where in the Northern Area.
Tyler's Vison
We see Tyler with two other people with him as they were heading somewhere as they jumped from roof to roof to their destination.
One was a woman that wearing a somewhat revealing outfit as she wore the typical uniform for any soldier of the Revolutionary Army, but her breasts are more exposed as they are covered by a black bra. She has a white shirt, skirt, and boots. Her hair was blonde and had dark skin. And finally, she wielded the axe teigu, Double-Bladed Axe: Belvaac. The user's name is Sonia.
And the other was a man that had a uniform on that consist of a white shirt with a black tie, white short shorts, and white boots. His hair was brown and was a bowl shaped and covered his eyes. He had in his hands the flute teigu, Military Music Dream: Scream. This soldier's name is Nfirea.
The three of them were currently jumping across the rooftops of the buildings as they were going to help the soldiers that planned on stalling either Esdeath or the danger beast. As they got to where the soldiers were, they see that the soldiers were not engaged in battle, in fact, they were watching something. They look to where the soldiers were looking at and it really surprised them.
They see the Ice General, Esdeath, fighting off against the Ultimate, Doomsday. There was fire and shattered ice in the battlefield. And it looked like Esdeath was having the time of her live, while the creature is trying to hit her only for the ice general to keep dodging it's attacks. The battle was so intense, the soldiers couldn't even get close to them without being killed. It was indeed a terrifying sight to be seen.
Esdeath was firing multiple icicles at Doomsday, but they did nothing to the crearure as the icicles shattered upon impact. Doomsday simply roared and jumped towards in the hope of crushing the woman. But, Esdeath leaped out of the way and used another attack. "Grauhorn!" Esdeath yelled out and a giant ice spike horn appeared and it hit the monster in the chest. While it was pushed back a couple, Doomsday did manage to destroy the ice spike with ease and charged at Esdeath is the Ultimate let electricity flow throughout it's arms. Esdeath simply smiled as she placed her hand on the ground and summoned pillars of ice to the Walking War Machine. But the monster react in time as it slam both it's electric fists to the ground that caused a shockwave of rock and electricity that destroyed the ice pillars. Esdeath was surprised to see, but was more entertained by the monster's power than anything else. Doomsday got close to Esdeath and threw an electric punch at her, but she dodged it. However, Doomsday reacted fast and, with it's extended bone claws, slashed the ice general on her side.
As the ice general was a few feet away from Doomsday, Esdeath looked her wounds to see three red marks on her left side as they were bleeding and turning some parts of her white uniform to the color red. This was an incredible sight to see for the soldiers and for Tyler's team as they have just witness Esdeath, the Strongest in the Empire, actually recieve a hit. They had believe that it would be impossible to actually hit this woman, but were proven wrong. While the injury did hurt Esdeath, she was actually happy to see that there was something that was actually giving her a challenge and pushing her to use more of her power. She began to laugh and said, "At last, an opponent that can actually push me to fighter harder. Now, I see how you can be an extreme threat to this city. But, I don't care. As long as I have fun fighting you and killing you when this is over, the city can die for all I care as you have made it weak! So danger beast, let's us continue this battle of the ages!"
Doomsday roars at her respond and charged with it's bone claws readied. As their battle continued, Tyler continued to look with shock as the battle between the Ultimate and Ice General became more intense. But then he snapped out of his trance as he just though up of an idea. He quickly activated Spectator and used it on Doomsday. Sonia noticed this and asked her partner, "Tyler, what are you doing?" "We need to know more about this danger beast we're fighting against and it seems to have some intelligence compared to other danger beasts, so there has to be something the monster knows that we can use against it," said Tyler as he continued to ise Spectator to read the monsters mind. Looked into the head of the beast and saw glimpses of it killing and causing destruction to where it went. But something caught his attention. He saw a grey humanoid creature holding a small infant inside the greenish yellow. As Tyler went in deeper, he saw more glimpses of the grey humanoid creature with others on some sort of bulding. He saw a land that was very hostle as the sky was red, the land was all rocky terrain, and there were deadly predators there that could survive the environment.
He kept going to see if there was anything else in the monster's mind that could be useful. But, then all of a sudden, Tyler saw the astral version of the monster in front of him and then roar at man. This caused Tyler to be forced out of the Ultimate's mind and caused him to scream in pain as Tyler felt his mind being attack for a bit. Sonia and Nfirea went to their partner to see what was happening to him. "Tyler, whar's wrong? Are you okay?" asked Nfirea in concern. "Yea, I'm fine," answered Tyler.
"What happened?" asked Sonia. "I don't know how, but it's like the creature knew I was reading it's mind and it just blocked me out which hurt my head," Tyler said. "What?" said Sonia in shock.
As Tyler looked at the fight once again, he saw that the danger beast was looking directly at him. It's red eyes were piercing through him mentally and had the look of anger and murderous intent. It was like the monster knew Tyler read it's mind and now wanted to kill him because of it. But this left the monster off guard as this allowed Esdeath to ram an ice pillar to Doomday's face, senting it flying through the battlefield. "Don't get distracted so easily. You'll still fighting me remember?" Esdeath said as she fired more icicles at the monster. Doomsday got up and charged again at the ice general while ignoring the ice projectiles hitting it. Doomday tried to attack Esdeath the moment it got close, but she dodged instantly. Doomsday kept trying to hit Esdeath, but she kept dodging while firing more icicles at the beast. This went for a couple seconds until the Ultimate found an opening to strike, so the creature took that chance. Doomsday threw it's electric punch at Esdeath. The ice general managed to block the attack with her ice armor, but the attack still did damage and even launched her a couple kilometers away from the battlefield as she went through building to building.
The soldiers looked in shock to see Esdeath being lauched away so easily, but were taken out of their trance as Doomsday ran towards the army as it roared. The soldiers barely had anytime to even react properly as they were sliced into mice meat by Doomsday's bone claws. Doomsday was charging through this army by either slashing them apart or tackling them to death as the monster was focused one a particular target. What the Ultimate was targeting to kill right now was Tyler. After having it's mind messed with, the monster held a grudge on the teigu user and wanted to kill him the worst way possible.
Tyler, Sonia, and Nfirea saw this and prepared for battle. The Walking War Machine jumped to the roof of the building and face it's newest victims. "Tyler, what can you tell us about what you learned about this monster," asked Sonia. "Other than it's supposed past, there's nothing much to tell you all," Tyler explained, "Not only that. I doubt I will be of any help in this fight since, not only can't I read it's thoughts, but I can't read it's muscle movement either. They're completely different from any other danger beast I've seen." Sonia cursed to herself, knowing they are in a tight spot right now.
Doomsday then ran towards the group with it's bone claws out. The three jumped out the monster's way and began to attack. Sonia uses her Belvaac axe slice apart the monster, but as soon as the weapon hit Doomsday, the weapon boucced off the beast. Sonia was shocked to see that the attack did nothing to even leave a scratch on the monster. She didn't have much time really think about it as Sonia was forced to dodge the monster's attack. The woman then spilt her axe into two smaller axes and tossed one of the halfs at the monster. Once again, this did nothing to Doomsday as it just ricocheted off the beast's skin. "What the hell? Just how strong is it's skin?!" Sonia said in shock.
Tyler went in and tried to attack Doomsday with his arm blades, but they shattered as soon as they hit the monster. Tyler looked in shock by this, but was taken out of it as the Ultimate punched him and he skidded painly towards the edge of the roof.
The Ultimate was about to strike once again, but was interrupted by the sound of music stopped in it's tracks. Nfirea was using his teigu, Scream, to stop Doomsday and to lower the monster's willpower and energy. At first it seemed to work as the beast was brought to it's knees. But, the tides were turned as Doomaday roared so loud that every soldier near them had to cover their ears to prevent then from popping and it cancel the sound of the flute teigu. With this distraction, Doomsday went to attack Nfirea. The soldier saw this and tried to block the attack with Scream. However, this only resulted with Nfirea, along with Scream, being sliced into fours by Doomsday's bone claws.
Tyler and Sonia saw this with horror as this monster just killed their ally and destroyed a teigu at the same time with little effort. Doomsday looked at the chopped up corpse with satisfaction and it turned to Sonia and Tyler with a grin that terrified them both.
"What do we do, now?" Tyler asked Sonia. Sonia started thinking on what to do. They knew they had no chance of fighting it. Hell, they couldn't give it so much as a scratch. After a couple seconds of quick thinking, she turned to Tyler and asks, "Tyler, did you manage to read the creature mind and get something from it?" "While it did block out it's head, I did get some memories from it." Tyler replied. "Good, on my signal, you run to the Eastern Area and get as far away from the danger beast while I distracted it," Sonia said.
"What?! Are you serious? This is a suicide mission. I'll die," Tyler pointed out. "I know, but you're important since you have something on that danger beast and you need to share it with Twiggs at the Eastern Area," Sonia explained.
"But-" "But nothing," said Sonia, interrupting Tyler, "You're important now. You have something that could help us kill this thing once and for all and I'll be damned if I let that thing kill you. You understand?" Tyler wanted to say something, but he knew his partner was right and he needs to give this information to Twiggs. So, he nodded as he ready himself to escape.
Doomsday charged again to kill Tyler, but was interrupted by another axe swing from Sonia. As Doomsday faced it's new opponent, Tyler took this chance and ran for his life to the Eastern Area. "That's right you ugly beast, only focus on me," Sonia said as she charged for battle.
Back to Tyler, he kept running and running and wouldn't stop until he was as far away from the monster. As he running, Tyler heard a loud scream. It was a scream of horror, agony and extreme pain. As Tyler analyzed the voice of the scream, he knew that it was coming from Sonia. It look like the monster had gotten her and killed his partner in the worst way possible. Tyler felt sorry for having to leave his partner like that, but Sonia made her choice and he needed to make sure her sacrifice will not be in vain. With this motivation, the teigu user continued to run to the Eastern Area.
Tyler then ended the flashback and everyone were very much surprise on what they saw. The fact that this danger beast could actually be equal to Esdeath of all people. They thought the ice general would have been enough to kill the danger beast, but it looks like they were wrong. Twiggs was sadden to see that Sonia and Nfirea were killed by the monster and prayed that they were in a better place.
"This is indeed saddening to see," said Twiggs, "We'll mourn for them after this is over, for now, in the illusion you showed us, you managed to get some sort of information from the creature, correct?"
"Indeed, however, I didn't get to completely read the monster's mind due to it blocking me out, which is something I'm questioning on how it was able to do that," explained Tyler. "As long as we have something on the monster, then it should be enough," Najenda said.
"Okay then, are you all ready to see what I saw?" Tyler asked as he prepared himself. Everyone in the room nodded to his respond. Before Tyler did anything, Najenda spoke out, "Please wait for a moment."
Tyler complied as he waited and Najenda turned to Leone and said, "Leone, are you sure you want to see this? After all, you are suffering the most when it comes to this monster. I don't want you to force yourself, to have to relive your fear." While Leone was a little shaken by what Najenda said as it was true, but the assassin looked at her boss with determination and said, "It's fine, boss. I want to know about this creature as much as everyone does. And besides, I need to be able to control my fear and I feel by doing this, I can really get started."
Nejenda could tell that Leone was still fearful of the monster, but there was determination within her as she wanted to do this. Seeing as Leone made her choice, Najenda turned to Tyler and said, "Okay then, let's begin."
With that, Tyler began to activate his teigu and showed the memories of the very creature that was destroying the city. They wonder how a monster like this came to be and why does it do what it does. They were nervous to see these memories, but they decided to continue on see what this danger beast had in store.
Doomsday's Vision
The group see the viewpoint of the monster and what they see is very strange. It looked like the creature was inside of some kind glass tude with some greenish yellow liquid surrounding it. And from looking at the arms, it look like the creature was... an infant? Everyone was shocked to see that the monster that is causing genocide and destruction to thr city was once an innocent baby.
Then the baby see something in front of it that was very strange for everyone. They saw a grey humanoid alien of some kind as it wore a black outfit with a purple line on it. The alien was saying something but it was too far away for it to really hear was the alien was saying. Then it got close enough for the infant to hear. "You are nothing special child, but you will one day become perfection embodied. Your time is at end," said the alien. Then someone came next to the grey alien and said, "Bertron, everything is ready to go." "Good then we can begin."
Najenda was very intrigued by this alien named Bertron. She decided to keep most of her attention on this alien as there was something interesting about Bertron on what it's doing.
The memory was then switched to where the infant was being carried by Bertron in a greenish yellow membrane-like sack. Then the baby was put inside of some kind of machine. Before anything else happened, Berton said something to the baby, "This opening chapter, so terrible for you now, infant, will one day provide a most desirable conclusion." With that, the baby was seal inside the machine thing with only darkness surrounding it. Everyone had a bad feeling that something horrible would happen. And they were right.
The air around the infant launched it out of the machine and into the outside world. The world the group saw looked horrific to be in. The sky was red, the land was a rocky terrain and rock spikes were everywhere, and the atmosphere was extremely hot. Just being in this environment would kill anyone in minutes. But in a few seconds, the infant surround by the predators of the land and ripped it apart in only two seconds.
Everyone was horrified to see how Bertron just let a baby die out there in the wild. To be torn apart by anything near it. They immediately had hatred for the grey alien for doing something so horrid. But, there was one thing they were thinking, why would Bertron allow this?
They got there answer as they see the infant was again in the tude and Bertron was in front of the baby. "Looks like the cloning process was a success. Get the launcher ready. We will start again." "Bertron, don't you think this too much?" asked a woman next to him. "No, we will continue this process until this infant becomes the ultimate being."
With that, the process was repeated and the baby was lauched into the wild and killed again by the same predators. As they went through the memories of the monster, it was complete horrible and unpleasant to see as the baby was forced into this horrific cycle: be put into a launcher, fired into the harsh environment, and be kill by either the deadly atmosphere or the predators, cloned from it's remain, and do it all over again. And from how Bertron and his assistants were looking older, they could tell this went on for years. And the infant was changing as well, it went from an innocent baby to a child, and then into an adult. It's looks began to resemble what it looked like in the present. Leone was starting to freak out a little, but she was determine to continue on so she began calming herself down.
In one memory, the infant was now an adult and a big one too. It's hands and arms were now big and muscular and bone spikes began to grow on them. The now old Bertron looked at it's creation with a smile on him as he said, "Soon my child. You will become the ultimate."
Then in the next memory, they see the now called Ultimate moving through the environment with no issue and killing the predators that had kill it before to the point of extinction. The Ultimate now resemble what it looked like now. It had become the being that Bertron had wanted it to become. The group were surprised to see that this monster started off as an infant. That this creature of mass destruction was created by this heartless alien. Bertron had created a monster.
As they continued, they now looked into what the monster would think of all the time. It was indeed unsettling. The only thing this creature would think was to only destroy and kill anything that was alive.
Next they see the Ultimate in front if a building with a spherical roof. The monster then began to break through and went inside. The creature saw many people as they began to run for their lives. And front of the monster was Bertron. The alien was very much afraid of the monster as it was about to attack. "No! You can't do this to us! We made you better!" Bertron said, trying to reason with it's creation, "Don't you see? No one can equal you now! My genius build you -- created you! You cannot kill... your father." These would be Bertron's last as the Ultimate would punch it's creator's head into a bloody pulp, killing the alien easily. The group were satisfied to see Bertron dead after what the alien had done to it as an infant.
The next memory showed the monster climbing into some kind of vehicle, staying in there as the vehicle began to move. The monster look out of a window to see the now lifeless planet that it was birthed from so many times and the vastness of space.
The next memories weren't really much for the group to use as it only show the monster killing other aliens, destroying everything, and repeating this process. Everyone saw this with a face of horror as they realised that tjis monster was a bigger threat tyen they initially thought. Leone, on the other hand, felt like she was reaching her limit on trying to control her fear. She hoped this would all be over.
Luckily, that was everything as Tyler deactivated Spectator and everyone was brought back into reality. Everyone just stood or sat there as they were processing everything they had just witnessed. They couldn't believe what they just saw even though it was very much real.
It was quiet until someone broke the silence. "Well... that was something," Chelsea said. "Indeed," Najenda replied.
"This monster truly is a force to be reckon with. And all because of a mad alien wanting to play God," Akame said.
"Even though this thing is nothing but a killing machine, I can't help but feel sorry for it. Bertron created it to become what it is today," Tatsumi commented. "That's true Tatsumi, but remember, that thing killed Sheele and Bulat and we have to put that monster down for good," Mine said sternly. "Yea, I know," replied Tatsumi
"Hey Leone, you doing fine after seeing all of that?" aske Lubbock with concern. Leone was a little shaken by seeing the monster again, even if it was an illusion, but calmed herself and replied, "While I'm shaking a little from seeing the monster again, I'm perfectly fine." "That's good, but just let us know if you need anything, okay?" said Lubbock with Leone smiling replying with, "Okay."
"Well, with all of that, we at least have a better understanding on the creature and we could somehow use this to our advantage," said Twiggs. "Indeed, thank you Tyler for getting us this information," Najenda said to the Spectator user. "No problem," Tyler replied.
"But there was one more thing I found when looking in the monster's mind. After all the destruction and death it caused to civilizations, the monster apparently gained a name for itself," Tyler explained. "Really now, what's the name it was given," asked Chelsea in curiosity.
"They call that beast... Doomsday," Tyler said.
As Tyler said the name, a soldier rushed in the hideout to report something. "Twiggs, we got a problem here! The monster was seen in the Eastern Area and it look like it's heading it's way here!"
"What?!" Twiggs yelled in shock, "Why is it here?! I thought it was fighting Esdeath!" "It was until the monster decided to begin attacking our soldiers and it's now looking for anyone the creature could kill."
"Damn it," Twiggs said. "What do we do master?" asked Susanoo. "For now, we have to fight for our lives and try to find a way to kill it. And remember, make sure your final strike is fatal," Najenda said to Nightraid. "Yes, boss," they all replied.
Then all of a sudden, they hear a mighty roar that resembled that of a beast. A roar that everyone there was very familiar with now. Leone began to feel her arm shake in fear and she tried to best to make it stop. But, she couldn't since her greatest fear is getting close to their safespot.
Back with Kurome, she was sitting beside a sleeping Wave as he was laying a bed. Kurome was just there, checking on the sailor to make sure that nothing happens to him and to protect him from harm. Then she hears the roar of the monster as it spooked her a little. Kurome became tensed as she knew what that meant and decided to prepare Yatsufusa and her puppets in case she has to fight for not only her life, but for Wave's as well.
Eastern Area of the Capital
Somewhere in this area, near Lubbock library, we see Doomsday doing it's usual routine as the monster is slaughtering all the soldiers around it. The Revolutionary Arny were trying their best to combat the beast, but they were mere ants trying to fight a mountain.
Somewhere off the distance, Esdeath is seeing the monster in action as murder the soldiers with ease. As she examined the monster more, Esdeath realized something about it. "So, despite having some sort of intelligence, the monster is very single minded on killing anything that's near it. This will be very annoying to deal with as I want to fight this monster," Esdeath said to herself. Then she see a bunch soldiers from the Revolutionary Army heading to where the monster was to provide backup. Seeing this, Esdeath realized that if she wanted a better chance to fight the danger beast, she had to get rid of anything that would get in her way. The ice general then smile sasistically as she summoned a bunch of icicles and fired at this army, killing them one by one.
Wild Hunt's Headquarters
In the Eastern Area, very close to the once standing Palace, was the headquarters that Wild Hint used for themselves. Inside the bulding, we see Dorothea, still in her wheelchair, in a lab she set up there. The alchemist was currently making something as she was looking through some of her old notes. As she was done with her invention, she quickly began to test it as she places the invention in front of a practice dummy. The invention Dorothea was making was some kind grenade.
Dorothea wheeled behind a barricade and began to test as she detonated the grenade. The grenade exploded and destroyed the dummy. As the explosion and smoke cleared, Dorothea went over to the dummy and took a look at it. Then she took a small piece of the dummy that was hit by the grenade's explosion and took it to a microscope. As the alchemist examined the piece, the cells of the piece were being destroyed one by one in a rapid pace. It would be a matter a seconds before this piece was complerely destroyed.
Seeing this, Dorothea smiled with glee. "Eureka, I finally perfect my personal grenade," she said to herself, "And to think a monster threatening to kill me would movaite me to fully perfect this." As she was congratulating herself, Dorothea heared the roar of the monster, telling her the beast was here. "Damn it, it's here now," Dorothea grumbled angrily to herself before she sighs, "Whatever, I now know how to perfectly create my grenade and in quicker time too, so I better get to work and make another one." With that, Dorthea went to her workbench and began to work on making another grenade as she believes this invention of hers could finally kill the monster, once and for all.
Aaaaaaaannnnnnnd that's a wrap.
