Hey guys, Andrew7859, here with another chapter. Sorry about not doing a chapter for this one for a while. Toxin Ga Kill took a lot of my time when I did that chapter; along with Master Roshi vs Tenko Chabashira. But now, I got another chapter done and I hope you guys enjoy this. Also, just played and finished Spiderman PS4 and I loved it. Definitely one if my favorite games out there. And here's to a new year 2019. Before we start, let's answer some questions:
Q:So when are you going to do the thing x akame ga kill crossover?
A: I will do it but I have other fanfic ideas I want to do, so it will take a while for me to get to it. Also, I don't want to do all of these fanfics ideas at the same time as it will being stressful and hard to keep track of everything. So, I'm doing these ideas one at a time.
Q:What type of story do you want to make?
A:To be honest, only ideas I have interest with and have an idea on how I can make it work.
Q:which doomsday is this?
A:I already answered this question already, but I'll repeat it again. I didn't really use any version of Doomsday from one source, I just mixed up certain versions of Doomsday, like from the comics, Justice League Animated Series and the Death Battle series, for this one. From the design to the powers.
Last question is one a few of you asked and that is why I killed off Akame so early on in this and why I didn't let her use her trump card. I killed off Akame early because I wanted to catch my readers off guard and try something different. In any other fanfic, people would expect Akame to live in the end. But here, I decided to change that and have Akame die early to shock you guys. Why she didn't have a full out fight with Doomsday is because I felt that, compared to the other members of Nightraid, Akame was the most ineffective against Doomsday. Her Murasume wouldn't kill the Ultimate with it's poison due to it not having any organs and the fact that her sword wouldn't even be able to cut throught Doomsday's skin in the slightest. Also I intentionally had Akame get one-shotted because her death was supposed to be ironic. She one-shots her opponents with her poisonous sword, so she dies by getting one-shotted by Doomsday's poisonous claws. And then there's the question of why I didn't let Akame use her trump card. To be perfectly honest, I forgot about her trump card when writing that chapter. I didn't mean to ignore it; it just completely slip through my mind. So sorry to any of you who wanted to see the Little War Horn trump card in action.
Next is the suggestions:
Hellsing and Akame ga kill
Alucard new master Najenda
Not interested as I've never seen Hellsing
Fate Stay Night and Akame ga kill
Karna-Servant and Akame-Master
I seen this idea thrown around a lot to other writers to do this one. I get that you want this idea done as it is an interesting concept. But, i'm not the guy to do this as I've seen Fate Zero and I'm interested in watch anymore of the Fate series. It's timeline is too confusing for me.
Jason vs. Alucard vs. Carnage
I'm not doing this as I only really want to do one vs one battles. Also, making this into a full on story is too much work for me.
Ultron, Sigma, Venjix Virus, and Metal Sonic become fuse together and the worlds of Marvel, Capcom, Power Rangers, and Sonic must work together to stop them
Dude, this is way too much for me. It's hard enough to make a crossover between two franchises as I have to make sense of it to a degree and make it work. This is extremely overboard. I know you told me not to do this one, so I won't. Thanks anyway.
Asura's Wrath and Akame Ga Kill
Nice idea, but not interested. Never played Asura's Wrath.
Class 1A including mei and maybe eraserhead and all might got teleported to the world of metal gear during the events of metal gear rising reveangence!
While I like metal gear rising, I still haven't played it. So I can't do this one. Not only that, I can't think of an idea on how I can make this work.
SCP-682: The Hard-To-Destroy Reptile is pitted against Akame ga Kill!
No. This one feels way too similar to this fanfic. Sorry.
Oh and one more thing to say before we start. Because I'm getting too many suggestions from you guys, I decided I had to fix it. So from now on, I'm limiting the amount of suggestions I get by 4 per update on all of my stories and anymore than that will be ignored and I won't talk about them. So keep that in mind when giving me a suggestion, especially to Dcraus and Darius Crawford1. I like you guys, but you two bombard me the most with a bunch of suggestions.
Now with all that out of the way, let's get this chapter started.
Aaaaaaaannnnnnnd begin:
Western Side of the Empire
In this side, at an urban area of the city, we see Esdeath as she is certainly using her teigu to create multiple giant ice centaur soldiers. Esdeath was currently using her newest trump card that she had been developing for a while now. This trump card would allow her to create multiple ice golems that would fight by her side. She called this trump card, Ice Calvary. The ice general was originally going to use this trump card to create a massive army to use against the Revolutionary Army when they decided to make their move and attack the Empire. However, because of this unexpected attack and massacre from this new danger beast that appeared out of nowhere, Esdeath only had enough time to create an small army that consisted in around fifty of them. Though she did plan on at least creating a hundred of these to face off against the beast.
As Esdeath continued creating her small army, she felt the earth shake and then heard a monstrous roar. The ice general looked around to see where it was coming from. She eventually spotted the source of where the roar came from and was very much intrigued. "It looks like Kurome decided to summon her strongest puppet," Esdeath said excitedly as she see Death Tagool roaring to the ground.
"Let's see how well you do against the monster, Kurome."
Back at the battlefield, Najenda, Lubbock, and Mine were currently running from rooftop to rooftop as they were heading back to base. As things were now, losing all their soldiers, cannon squads, Susanoo, and Akame, they had no choice but to retreat for now. They were just lucky that Kurome, unintentionally become a decoy for them to escape as she summoned Death Tagool.
"Hey boss, you think Kurome's puppet will be able to damage the monster?" Lubbock asked.
Najenda looked at the battlefield for a quick moment to see the giant skeletal zombie smashing its hands to the ground. She turned away and said, "To be honest, I severely doubt it. After seeing it adapt to survive things like slashes and Murasume's poison and how brute force doesn't faze it, all this will do is just delay the inevitable," Najenda said grimly.
Lubbock and Mine were a little surprised to hear their boss said this. After every opponent they have faced in the past, despite the odds and how powerful they were, there was always a way for them to kill them. So hearing that winning against the monster was pointless was a bit shocking for them to hear. But they very much understood why Najenda would say this. After seeing what Doomsday was capable of, they were really running out of ideas on how to kill this creature. So with that in mind, they continued on back to their base to regroup with the others.
Back at the battlefield, Death Tagool was smashing the ground as it tried to crush Doomsday. However, the beast jumped away from the attacks with ease. As it kept leaping away from the zombie's hand, the Walking War Machine would unleash it's fire breath on the giant. While it didn't do much to hurt the puppet, it did damage some of it's bones.
However when Doomsday jumped away from one of it's attacks, the Death Tagool managed to use it's other hand to get a hold of the beast. Then Kurome command the puppet to crush Doomsday with it's might with both it's hands. With everything the puppet had, the Death Tagool crushed the Ultimate with its giant skeleton hands. The teigu user felt satisfaction from hearing the crushing bones from the beast, knowing that the monster is dead. Kurome then looked at her right side to see the Murasume teigu in its scabbard on her. She smiles as she said to the weapon, "I did it, sis. You've been avenged."
Kurome had a bit of tears in her eyes since she was still sad losing her older sister. She wished she could use Yatsufusa to make Akame her puppet, but it wouldn't be possible. The poison her sister received not only killed her, but it was dissolving her organs and bones from the inside into a liquid. It was evident when she was her big sister, seeing her poisoned wound literally eating away her stomach. Kurome truly losted her big sister for good, but at least she was able to kill the monster for her.
That is until the Death Tagool's hands began to move on their own. Kurome was surprised to see this since she didn't command her puppet to do this. But her surprise look turned to shock and horror from seeing this terrifying scene. That scene being Doomsday prying open her puppet's hands with the beast looking at her with it's dead, raged, red eyes. Seeing the beast alive was horrifying enough, but seeing the skeletal hands all cracked up with a caved in holes as well. Kurome realized that the crushing sound she heard wasn't from the Ultimate, but was coming from her puppet's hands. She realized that if she was going to kill this abomination, she really had to think creatively.
With quick thinking, Kurome commanded her puppet to throw Doomsday away. The Ultimate was thrown in fast speeds as it crash to the ground hard. But despite this, after a couple seconds, Doomsday jumped into the air and attacked with it's bone projectiles. Kurome quickly hid behind her puppet's left hand to avoid getting shot while having the right hand swing at the Ultimate. With the monster down, Death Tagool charged up a small ball of energy from its mouth. As Doomsday got up from the ground, Death Tagool unleashed it attack, turning the ball of energy into a gigantic death beam towards the Ultimate.
Seeing this, Doomsday held up it's arms and used it's glass-like bone shield to reflect the beam towards the sky. Despite the destruction and danger that was happening, the people that were looking at it couldn't help by feel awe and amazement by the sight alone. There was some beauty to see from a blue pillar of light reaching the sky itself
However, Kurome could only feel frustration from seeing this as her puppet's attack was being redirected from her target. Even when the beast was being pushed back a bit, Doomsday stayed strong and firm with it's defense. Eventually the beam died out as puppet could no longer continue it's attack.
Now with the beam gone, Doomsday charged electricity through its arms and ran towards the skeletal zombie. The Death Tagool responded by pulling back it's arm and then swinging it hard at the airborne Doomsday. The two monsters collided and a massive shockwave was made as it blew away multiple debris around it.
Lubbock's Bookstore
Back at the bookstore, soldiers were all fully prepared as they waited for the monstrosity. As they waited, Najenda, Lubbock, and Mine made it back to the bookstore. "You two, in the front lines. I want you helping these soldiers fighting Doomsday," Najenda commanded. Mine and Lubbock did what she said, while Najenda went to find Twiggs. She found Twiggs in the bookstore as he taking a couple gulps from a bottle of alcohol in his hand with a frustrated face.
"Twiggs?" Najenda asked, confused by Twigg's behavior.
"Oh, hello Najenda," Twiggs simply said back.
"What are you doing? Your army needs you in the front right now. And I thought you weren't a drinker," Najenda said.
"I'm not, but after everything that's happened, I needed something to calm myself down a little," Twiggs simply said, gulping a few more chugs.
"It's that bad for you?" she asked in concern.
"Of course it's bad," Twiggs growled, "I've lost about ten thousand soldiers today in a spand of an hour or more, we have at best a hundred and fifty at base here, and worst, the reinforcements I requested haven't arrived yet. So, I'm sorry if I'm on edge right now. To be honest, I don't even see us winning against this monster at all."
"Twiggs, don't say that. You can't be sure that Doomsday can't be killed," Najenda said.
"Oh really, then other than Tatsumi, Leone, and Chelsea coming here not to long ago, why is it that I haven't seen Akame or Susanoo when you, Mine, and Lubbock arrived?" Twiggs sternly asked.
Najenda stood their quietly as she looked down to the ground with a grim look on her. She couldn't admit that her plan to fail and it ultimately caused her to lose two of her members. But her look was enough for Twiggs to read her and understand what happened.
"I'm guessing they were killed by Doomsday, along with the rest of my soldiers," Twiggs said.
"Unfortunately yes. Even worse, Murasume's poison wasn't enough to kill it. The monster even adapted to become immune to it," Najenda stated in despair.
"Great, that's just great. Not even your best assassin could kill it. That's enough prove to show how little chance we have to killing it," Twiggs argued.
"Twiggs, you can't give up like this. We went up against the odds before-"
"Not like this, Najenda!"
Twiggs interrupted Najenda as he screamed out his frustration at the boss of Nightraid, much to her dismay.
"This soldiers, my soldiers were ready to take down the Empire and kill Esdeath for good. To bring peace to this city. But now, all of a sudden, we have to kill an abomination to nature that can adapt to the point of being unkillable! How are we going to kill something like that?!" Twiggs yelled as he takes some deep breaths.
Najenda was quiet for a bit from receiving everything Twiggs said to her before speaking, "I don't know to be honest. After confronting the monster, I felt like fighting Esdeath when I decided to leave the Empire. Its power and amount of destruction it caused showed me how strong it is and weak we truly are against it. But, I won't give up so easily. Even if the monster can adapt, there has to be something that can kill it in one blow. After all, a creature cannot adapt when they are dead."
"I know, but what do we have that can kill it in one blow?" Twiggs asked.
"I don't know, but we will find a way. Remember, we are fighting for not only for this city, but for the people that live here. While they are waiting at the safe zone, those citizens are expecting us to bring peace to the city. And the only way we are going to do that is by killing Esdeath and Doomsday. Look I get it, we have lost a lot of soldiers today in such a short span of time. We've lost people that were very close to us. But, we must not let their deaths be in vain. Remember, we are all that stand. We are the only ones that can bring peace back to this city. So please old friend, don't give up now. Not when we're so close."
Twiggs stood there for a while, taking in the words Najenda spoke to him. He could feel the hope in those, wanting him to keep fighting and not give up so easily. However, Twiggs still had doubt seeing their situation at hand and how much people they lost. These two feelings were in conflict as Twiggs was deciding what to do now. Finally, one feeling won out and Twiggs gave his response.
"Alright, if you say so then I'll continue to fight. After all, if I die, I might as well die fighting for the freedom and peace for the people. I just hope we can actually win this," Twiggs said.
"We can and we will, old friend. By the way, where's Tyler? I thought he be in the front lines," Najenda asked.
"Oh Tyler, I send him to get reinforcements for me since I'm pretty sure the messenger bird never arrived to them. Can you guess who's responsible for that?" Twiggs explained.
"Who?" Najenda asked
"Esdeath."
Najenda had a look of shock as her eyes widen in horror. "A-are you sure?"
"As much as I hate to believe it, but I'm sure. From a survivor from a group lf soldiers I requested and some information Wave and Kurome provided to me about her, Esdeath is the only explanation for us not receiving any reinforcements yet," Twiggs explained, "It was bad enough that we had to take out both Esdeath and Doomsday, but now that ice bitch is purposely lowering our numbers just to satisfy her blood lust."
"Damn it," Najenda said in frustration, "I knew she was always wanting to cause wars and fight and torture her opponents. But, I didn't think she would go this far. If Doomsday really that strong, then I can see why Esdeath would want the beast to fight her."
"So what do we do?" Twiggs asked.
"For now, we focus on Doomsday since we don't know where Esdeath is and the fact that the beast is approaching us. Kurome's puppet isn't going to last long against the monster," Najenda said.
"Okay then, but before we go..." Twiggs brings the bottle of alcohol to Najenda with a friendly smile on his face, "Here, I can tell you need some of this just as badly as I did."
Najenda smiles as she accepts her friend's offer and takes a couple gulps of alcohol. "Aw, your were right, Twiggs. I really need a hard one after everything that's happened," Najenda said with a satisfied tone.
"Shall we general?" Twiggs asked with Najenda replying, " Let's begin."
With that, Najenda and Twiggs left the bookstore to had to the front lines of their small army.
Lubbock's Bookstore, Imperial Secret Base
Back in the secret base, in one of the rooms, we see Tatsumi and Wave laying on their beds as they were recovering from their respective injuries. There was also Chelsea with them as she sitting next to Tatsumi, making sure that he and Wave was taken care of.
"Man this sucks," said Tatsumi as he was annoyed by his state. "I want to get back to the battlefield and fight that monstrosity."
"Well, you can't. You may be better now than before, but I can't let you fight until you are fully recovered from your heat stroke," Chelsea plainly explained.
"Hey, come on. I've recovered well enough. I haven't been asking for water every 15 minutes," Tatsumi said.
"Still, I have to make sure you and Wave are fully recovered or at least healthy enough to fight if Doomsday comes. Remember, that monster is powerful and Banting isn't with us anymore since Taylor is getting him escorted to the safe zone," Chelsea explains, "So we have to be careful with your health and condition. We're already backed into a corner as it is. So, we have to be ready for the fight of our lives."
"She's right, Tatsumi," Wave said which got the Incursio user's attention, "I understand how you feel, man. I want to fight just as much as you. I want to end this destruction as soon as possible. But, right now, we're only to be a hindrance than help. So, for now, we have to wait."
Tatsumi felt a little frustrated as he couldn't fight right now, but he knew Chelsea and Wave were right. Because of how big of a threat Doomsday was, they had to be very careful now that they have seen the monster's enormous power.
"Yea, you guys are right. I just hope the others are doing alright," Tatsumi said in concern.
"Don't worry, Tatsumi. They have Akame with them. I'm sure they've taken care of the monster by now," Chelsea said with confidence.
Just than, Leone comes into the room with a depressed look. Chelsea looks at her with concern as she asked, "Leone, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Yea, but for the worst," Leone said as she began explain the bad news.
After about a couple minutes of explaining about had happened with Najenda and the others, especially with how Susanoo and Akame were killed, sadness and sorrow filled up in Tatsumi and Chelsea. Wave was saddened as well, but it was for Kurome as he knows she's in pain after losing her only family she had in this world.
"Leone, are you sure this happened?" Chelsea asked in a bit of denial.
"Yea, I'm sure," Leone said honestly, "I got the news from Lubbock and Mine. They wouldn't say something like this it if they weren't sure."
There was a long silent in the room as everyone was taking in this horrible news. It was bad enough that Najenda's plan backfired and the monster still roamed free. But now, Akame and Susanoo are dead because of the monstrosity. And the way they were kill was very unsettling for them to hear. While everyone were in a sadden state, Tatsumi was very much anger with tears in his eyes. He was angry at that the monster for killing two of his friends and angry at himself for not being there as he believe that there was something he could of done to prevent it.
"Damn it," Tatsumi quietly said in anger, "Not only did we lose Sheele and Bulat, but now Akame and Susanoo. When will this end? When will that monster just die?"
"I don't know honestly," Leone responded, "What I do know is that Doomsday will not be easy to kill." Leone then head towards the door. "If you guys excuse me, I'm needed in the front lines."
But before Leone could leave, Chelsea spoke out, "Wait, are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, no offence but, you're still suffering from your PTSD. Are you sure you'll be alright?"
"I won't to be honest," Leone said quietly but loud enough for them to hear, "That thing still scares me to no end. Hell, I still have to keep stopping my arm from shaking in fear." Leone held her right arm as it was shaking like a leaf.
"But I have to do this. Akame, Susanoo, Bulat, and Sheele all died fighting that beast, to stop this genocide. So, I'm not going to let this fear beat me. Besides, we're very low on soldiers and members right now. I don't have a choice, but to fight. So, wish me luck."
"Leone." The yellow assassin turns around to see Tatsumi. "Please be careful out there and stay alive," he said with concern.
"I will," Leone said with a smile and she then leaves the room.
There was a short silence in the rooms before Chelsea spoke up, "You think she'll manage out there?"
"I know she will. After all, this is Leone we're talking about," Tatsumi said with confidence.
"I hope so. We're going to need everything we have to end this bloodshed," Wave commented as he layed back on his bed
"Kurome, please be alright when I'm ready," Wave thought to himself.
Western Side of the Empire
Back in the battlefield, things were not looking good for Kurome and her puppet. Death Tagool had multiple broken bones all over and it had lost it's left arm. Doomsday, on the other hand, was completely fine with only a couple of it's bone spikes broken off, but they grew back.
Kurome was becoming frustrated by her predicament. Despite using her strongest puppet, it was barely able to keep up with the beast. The Death Tagool at best was just swinging its arms and blasting it's laser beam at the Ultimate. But, the swings did nothing, but push the beast back. And it's energy beam was always reflected by the monster.
"Damn it, why won't this thing die?" Kurome said in frustration.
Then Doomsday jumped towards the puppet with it's bone claws ready. The skeletal zombie responded by punching the Ultimate to the ground with its fist. As the Death Tagool lifted up it's hand from the ground, Kurome looked down to see the state of the beast. But, to her surprise, Doomsday was nowhere to be found. The was questioning where the monster could have gone. Kurome looked everything to find it until she spotted the creature.
She see Doomsday on Tagool's arm as it was climbing up to the shoulder at a fast rate. Kurome was surprised to see the monster being on her puppet like this. But, she barely anytime to think as Doomsday fired it's bone projectiles at Kurome, forcing her to dodge and deflect a couple of them. She tried to command the puppet to attack Doomsdays, but the Ultimate was in front if her and tried to crush her. Kurome luckily evaded the attack was now face to face with the monster.
Kurome began to swing her Yatsufusa sword to block the creature's bone claws. The girl was in a very tight now since she had to be on the defensive as she was constantly evading. Doomsday, on the other hand, took the sword slashes no problem and kept swinging it's deadly bone claws. This went on until Doomsday finally got in a hit as it kicked Kurome off the Death Tagool. But she commanded the puppet to catch, preventing her from falling to death.
Kurome was glad that she was alive, but she did sustain serious pain in her stomach from the kick. As she examined herself for anymore serious injuries, the Black Eyed Assassin noticed something was missing. That something being her sister's Murasume sword wasn't on her anymore. The girl looked around to see where the teigu went until she found it. Kurome found Murasume in the hands of Doomsday as the creature held it in it's hand. The Ultimate looked at the deadly weapon as it remember the pain it caused it when it managed to make a cut on it. Even if it did allow it a new ability, it still caused Doomsday to feel anger from looking at the sword.
"You damn beast! Give that back!!" Kurome yelled out, wanting Murasume back.
Doomsday responded by placing both its hands on the top and bottom of the teigu sword and crushed it into a bunch of pieces. Seeing the weapon finally destroyed brought a smile on Doomsday's face. Kurome though had a look of sadness and horror. Murasume, the teigu that belonged to her sister, destroyed in front of her was a terrible sight to see.
With the blade destroyed, Doomsday decided to continue it's fight with Kurome. But, the beast would be interrupted when an energy beam hit it in the back, sending the Ultimate to crash land to the ground.
Kurome was surprised to see this and questioned what just happened. She got her answer as she looked around and saw a small group of soldiers with Najenda, Twiggs, Leone, Lubbock, and Mine with them. "Looks like we got to you on time," Mine yelled out to Kurome.
"I was doing just fine one my own," Kurome argued.
"From the condition your puppet is in, I really doubt that," Leone retorted.
"Enough chit chat. Remember the task at hand," Najenda said and everyone nodded back.
"Then let's get to it!"
With that, Nightraid and the small army charged towards the Ultimate. The soldiers and Mine fired their guns at Doomsday while the rest of Nightraid engaged the beast. As the Walking War Machine was bombarded with bullets and energy beams, Lubbock used his strings to restrain the beast while Najenda and Leone pummeled it.
As Najenda was attack and dodging the monster's attacks, she noticed something off with Leone. The leader noticed that despite the assassin getting in some hits, the power behind them were weaker compared to her stronger attacks. Not only that, but Leone was doing an attack then retreat kind of strategy. It even looked like Leone was avoiding any sort of eye contact with Doomsday. Najenda was wondering why Leone was attacking like this. Was her PTSD affecting her this badly?
With how Leone was thinking, Najenda was right. Despite having to fight the monster head on, the assassin was still very much afraid of Doomsday. The fear is so bad that it's affecting her combat. Her fear was making her weaker and made her constantly back away from Doomsday to avoid looking its eyes. Leone knew that moment she looked at those dead red eyes, she be paralyzed with fear. This is something not want to do, so the assassin would just do this strategy to allow her to at least be able to fight. She felt pathetic doing this, but in her head, it was better than hiding like a coward.
The assault continued until Lubbock was finished wrapping up Doomsday in his wires. Without hesitation, Najenda yelled to Kurome, "Kurome, crush it!"
The Black Eyed girl did so and had Death Tagool crush the Ultimate underneath it's massive foot. But it didn't stop there as the skeletal zombie stomped it's foot multiple times on the beast, wanting to make sure the monster was dead for good. Kurome was looking at the scene with satisfaction as the monster was within her grasp. She'll make sure that the monster was reduced to a bloody stain.
But then all of a sudden, the Death Tagool's foot stopped moving. Kurome was surprised to see why her puppet would stop stomping all of a sudden. Everyone else on ground level thought the same thing. Then the foot began to raise. Everyone thought this was the puppet's doing, but they were proven wrong. Najenda saw everything. She saw Doomsday lifting the skeletal foot with its hands. It was frightening to see the monster, not only survive, but it being able to lift the Death Tagool's foot. However, what Doomsday did next was unbelievable to her.
With only one arm, Doomsday pulled it back and then fling the massive Death Tagool into the open sky. Everyone that saw this were in completely and utter shock. Many of them were blinking just to see that their head wasn't messing with them. The skeletal zombie didn't just get flinged up a few feet. It was throw about around 60 meters high. Kurome, who was still on the Death Tagool, was screaming in shock as her puppet was still flying into the sky.
With the puppet in the air, Doomsday jumped towards in massive speeds as it reached all the way to the spine of the skeletal zombie. Once there, the beast grabbed on the spine. Everyone was questioning what Doomsday was trying to do all of a sudden. The only one who figured the beast's attention was Twiggs. With that figured out, Twiggs screamed out, "EVERYONE GET OUT OF THIS AREA NOW!!!"
Everyone was confused on why Twiggs would say that until they see Doomsday, still holding on the puppet's spine, throw it straight to the ground. Seeing the skeletal zombie falling fast towards them, everyone immediately ran so they wouldn't be crushed to death.
The moment the Death Tagool crash to the ground, a massive shockwave was made as it blew away any debris nearby. While Nightraid, Twiggs, and a few soldiers were able to find cover from the shockwave, the rest were not as they were killed by the shockwave and debris hitting them or being crushed underneath the Death Tagool. Once the shockwave ceased, there was a large dust cloud surrounding the battlefield for a while until it finally disappeared. The event caused a massive crater and multiple more buildings were destroyed. And in the crater is the Death Tagool now completely destroyed and no longer usable.
Wild Hunt's Headquarters
Back at the headquarters of the once Wild Hunt, a few minutes ago, Dorothea was still at work creating another grenade that would kill the monster. After about couple more second of tinkering and creating. Dorothea finally finished creating her special grenade. "Finally, it's complete," Dorothea said to herself as the alchemist picked up the explosive weapon in her hands, "Now to use this to finally kill that monstrosity."
Just then, a massive tremor was felt across the room as many bottles and objects fell to the ground. "What the hell was that?!" she yelled to herself as the alchemist wheeled her way outside.
Once Dorothea was outside on the headquarters, she saw a massive cloud of dirt in another area of the city. "Looks like that beast is causing lots of trouble for the Revolutionary Army. I had a feeling they wouldn't be able to kill it on their own. Luckily, this alchemist has made something that can," Dorothea said to herself as she puts her grenade in her pocket.
"Now to deliver it to one of them," Dorothea said as she wheeled her way through the streets, heading the battlefield, "I just hope I can get there on ti-"
The alchemist stopped talking as she when she turned right to the next street, Dorothea see multiple debris around. There was so much of it, it would be impossible for her to get around as she was on a wheelchair.
"Mother fucker," she said to herself as Dorothea saw that getting to the battlefield was going to harder than she initially thought.
Back to the battlefield, it was very quiet after the massive crash that happened with the Death Tagool. The only sight being debris, destroyed buildings, and crater with the destroyed Death Tagool skeleton. That is until a pile of rocks began to move and out from it was Leone. Despite being alive, the assassin was a lot of pain from what had happened.
"Damn, I knew that thing was strong, but not that strong," Leone said as she looked at the remains of Kurome's puppet. She had never anyone or anything have the strong to lift something as big as the Death Tagool. Hell, Leone never imagined to see a feat this insane. And she thought Esdeath was the only one that could be this destructive. Leone just hoped that her allies and a few soldiers made it our okay. With witnessing something like this, Leone was even more afraid of Doomsday.
Just then, out from another pile of rubble close to Leone, Lubbock got out as he was coughing a bit. "Lubbock," Leone yelled with relief as she ran towards her comrade.
"Leone, it's good to see that your okay," said Lubbock.
"Of course I would. But. I don't know if I can say the same thing for anyone else," said Leone.
"I know. I didn't expect Doomsday to do something that insane. I mean even Esdeath can't lift something that big without having to use her ice," Lubbock commented.
"And that's what makes it unsettling. After seeing that, I'm starting to doubt that we even kill Doomsday," Leone said with a grim tone.
"I don't blame you, I'm feeling the same way too," Lubbock replied.
Then, all of a sudden, something crash landed right in front of the two assassins. Leone and Lubbock looked at the sight to see what it was. Lubbock had a look of shock while Leone had one of dread and despair as in front of them was Doomsday. The Ultimate looked at the two assassin with killing intent in its eyes. Lubbock was freaking out as the monster was in front of him and he knew that him and Leone weren't even close to fighting the beast evenly in battle. Even worse, the green assassin knew that Leone seeing Doomsday is going to cause a lot of trouble for her.
And Lubbock was right as Leone was to sweat and shake in fear. Her eyes widen with dread and her skin was beginning to whiten. Leone tried her best to calm down and get a hold of herself, but it was impossible as her worst fear is literary in front of her. "Oh God, please not again. Don't freeze up again," she told herself, still trying to stay strong.
Doomsday looked at Leone as it remembered her and uttered, "Kitty~"
The moment the beast said that word, Leone was now paralyzed with fear. Like before, she couldn't more no matter how much she tried to. The assassin was in a tight spot once again and she couldn't do anything about it. With that, Doomsday charged at Leone with a roar and an electric punch readied. Luckily, Lubbock was more prepared than before and pushed him and Leone out of the way from the Ultimate's attack. Then Lubbock uses his wires to tie up the beast's arms, legs, and whole body, preventing the Walking War Machine from moving a the time being.
With the beast stopped for the moment, Lubbock turned to Leone and slapped her in the face and made stagger back a bit. This was enough to knock Leone out of her paralyzed state. "Damn it, that fucking hurt!" Leone yelled in pain.
"Whatever, now listen to what I have to say," said Lubbock, "I need you to go find the others and any more survivors and bring them here. That way, we have a better chance at winning."
"What, are you insane?! You'll get killed and why am I the one that has to do this?!" Leone questioned angrily.
"Because, for one, I don't have PTSD and won't freeze up in fear just seeing the monster and two, we don't have any other option as it is," Lubbock stated.
Leone was quiet from her comrade's statement. She didn't want him to do this, but Lubbock was right as there was really no way them to escape together and they can't fight by themselves. She hate having to do this, but this was their best option right now.
"Leone," Lubbock said as he placed his hand on her shoulder, "Please, I don't want to put you in this situation with your condition. I'll handle this and stall the beast the best I can, okay?"
"Okay," Leone replied, "Just stay alive."
Before Lubbock could comment back, a roar from Doomsday was made as the beast broke out of it's wire prison. Seeing this, Lubbock immediately said, "I've got this. Now go!"
With that, Leone ran off and began her search for the others. Doomsday and Lubbock were now face to face with each other with the assassin forming his strings in an axe and Doomsday extending it's bone claws. "Looks like it's just you and me. I may be outmatched, but I won't allow this slaughter to continue. I'll try kill you or at least stall you long enough for the others to arrive," Lubbock said as he point his weapon at the Ultimate, "You ready?"
"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
With it's mighty roar, Doomsday charged at Lubbock with the assassin doing the same thing. Once they were, Doomsday swinged it's bone claws at Lubbock, but intercepted the attack with axe. Sparks were made when both the attacks collided with one another.
Elsewhere in the battlefield, we see Najenda and Twiggs with one another as they are looking for any survivors. They only had four soldiers with them and anymore soldiers they found in the debris were dead. The group continued their search and one of soldiers found someone. "I've found someone! I need help here!" he yelled and the group came to his assist. The group moved away rock after rock until pull out the survivor, who being Mine.
Once she was out, Mine took her time to cough a little from the dust and sat down to rest. "Mine, thank god you're alright," Najenda said with a smile.
"Of course I am. I'm not planning on dying underneath a bunch of rocks," Mine replied.
"That's good to hear," said Najenda.
"Hey Najenda, we found another one of your members!" yelled Twiggs and Najenda went to where he was. When Najenda got to his location, she only saw Twiggs and no one else.
"Twiggs, where's my subordinate?" Najenda asked in confusion.
"Right up here," Twiggs said, pointing up to a building. Najenda looked up and saw Kurome up high on the side of building. The girl had her sword stabbed into the building and was using it to hang on to something.
"Can you two stop staring at me and get me down from here," Kurome said annoyingly.
"Hold on, I'll get you down," Najenda said as she jumped up to get Kurome. Najenda got Kurome down and placed her on a rock to rest. "Are you alright?" the leader of Nightraid asked.
"Other than my dislocated arm, I'd say I'm fine," Kurome said as she showed her right arm as it was popped out the socket.
"My god, how this that happened?" Najenda asked in concern.
"Remember how that bastard of a beast threw my puppet to the sky then back to the ground?" Kurome said as she began to explain, "Well, during all that, I fell off my puppet. I though I pummel to my death it if wasn't for my quick thinking and having this building close to me to prevent my fall. The only downside to this is now my right arm is usable and my teigu is pretty much destroyed." Kurome showed her Yatsufusa sword as it had multiple cracks on it and it looked like one good hit will destroyed the blade into pieces. "But, considering all my puppets are gone, it be worthless in this situation either way. Now, without a sword and my arm, I can't fight anymore."
"That's not true," Twiggs said, which got Kurome's attention, "You can still walk and your arm can be fixed. We just need to treat your arm, get you a sword, and you'll be ready for battle."
"Are you stupid? How can this arm be fixed," Kurome said, not believing a word he said.
"Simply. I'm going to fix it," Twiggs said as he picked up a piece of wood from the ground.
"What?"
"Najenda, I need you to hold her steady," Twiggs instructed. Najenda was confused by this did it anyway.
"Wait, what do you think your doing?" Kurome asked all confused.
"Like I said before, I'm fixing your arm. Now bite down on this and don't let it out of your mouth," Twiggs instructed as he placed the piece of wood in between Kurome's teeth.
With that done, Twiggs grabbed onto the Black Eyed girl's arm and said, "Fair warning, this is going to hurt like hell so bare with it." Then Twiggs positioned the girl's arm and began positioning it back into the socket. Kurome was in a lot of pain from this as she moved a lot and she was screaming, but the wood mumbled her voice. She moved so much that Najenda was losing her grip a bit. "Keep her steady. I'm almost done," said Twiggs and Najenda tighten her grip. After a couple seconds, Twiggs finally placed Kurome's arm back into her socket and took the piece of wood out of her mouth.
"You feeling better now," Twiggs asked.
Kurome looked at her arm and the adrenaline and feeling went back into her it, allowing her to move it again. Even the pain went away with a relief feeling coming through. "While your method hurt, the pains gone and I can move my arm again. So thanks," said Kurome.
"No problem," Twiggs replied.
"How do you know how to do that?" Najenda asked.
"Najenda, when you have an army to command and they get injuries that have to be treated with no doctor around. You tend to be good at these type of things. Hell, I did this about a hundred times already," Twiggs jokingly replied.
"Wow, that must have been rough," Najenda commented.
"You have no idea."
Just then, Leone comes in as she stands in front of Najenda with panic in her eyes. "Boss. Thanks god I found you. You need to come with me," she said hurriedly.
"Why? What's happening?" Najenda asked.
"It's Lubbock. He's fighting the monster on his own and needs our help," Leone said worryingly.
Najenda eyes widen with shock and fear hearing this. Hearing that Lubbock, her most fateful companion, is fighting the monster was not something she wanted to hear. "Twiggs get the rest of group. We need to move now!" Najenda demanded.
"On it!" Twiggs replied and and ran off to get the rest of the group.
"Leone, where is the fight happening!" Najenda asked loudly.
"He's south from here. I'll even lead you there," Leone responded.
Najenda looked south from here Leone pointed at and had a look of worry. "Lubbock, please stay strong. We'll get there as fast as possible."
Back at the fight, Lubbock, like the rest, is very much struggling fighting Doomsday. The creature just kept breaking through his metal strings with ease, destroyed his sting made weapons, and the beast got a few good hits on him. He had a black eye, had a few scratch on his back, and his head was bleeding. Right now, Lubbock was not doing well.
"Damn it, I can't take anymore of this and I'm running out of string as it is," Lubbock said in his mind, "Leone, I hope you got backup coming in cause I could really use it right now."
Doomsday roared as it charged at Lubbock with it's bone claws. The assassin managed to jump out of the way. He used his string to create two pair of medium size swords. The assassin began blocking and evading Doomsday's attacks once again. Lubbock was doing well, but as time went on, his movement was getting a little slower and sluggish. After everything that has happened today, Lubbock was getting tired. Every hit from Doomsday was weakening his guard and he could feel his body running out of fuel. While Lubbock decided he stall the beast, he should've known better that he was not suit for this type of fighting like Tatsumi and Leone were.
Eventually, Doomsday found an opening and tackled with its arm. This left Lubbock wide open for an attack and the Ultimate took that opportunity by kicking him in the stomach and send him flying through the battlefield. As the assassin was now on the ground, Lubbock vomited out some blood as that kick did a lot of damage to his stomach. Hell, he felt that one of organs were bruised. "Damn that fucking hurt. But, I got to keep going," Lubbock thought to himself as he was struggling to get up, "I have to do this for Najenda."
Eventually, Lubbock was able to get himself up on his legs and face Doomsday as the creature was walking towards him. As the beast was getting close, the assassin thinking fast on what to do right now. He was extremely low on his threads. He already used trump card, Realm Cutting Thread, on Doomsday and like his regular metal string, the beast ripped a part with ease.
"Damn it, what do I do? I'm running out of threads and options here! Ugh, if only I could get it to hit its-" Lubbock stopped talking as an idea came to his head. It wouldn't do much, but it would be enough to stall time for his times to get here. As the Ultimate was getting close, Lubbock readied himself to commence his plan.
With its prey in front of it, Doomsday raise it's arm and swinged it down to crush the assassin. But Lubbock was quick enough to roll out of the way. Everything was set for Lubbock and he began his to initiate his plan. He wrapped up the last of his wires around Doomsday's arm all nice and tight. Once Lubbock had his strings on Doomsday's arm, he pulled on his strings to force the arm to punch the Ultimate in its face. Lubbock smiled at this as he was able get a good hit on the Walking War Machine. Even if he had to force the monster to hit itself.
But then things began to backfire when Lubbock felt his string being pulled back. Despite being pushed back from it's own punch, Doomsday held on the strings that were attached to Lubbock's right glove. With the string in its grasp, Doomsday used them to pull Lubbock towards it and then grabbed the boy's right arm once he was close. Lubbock tried break free, but it was too late. Doomsday immediately tighten its grip on the assassin's aem and crushed the bone in it. Lubbock screamed as from the pain. But it didn't stop there as the Ultimate then slam the green assassin to the ground and threw a couple feet away from it.
Now on the cold hard ground, Lubbock layed there, completely tired. With a broken arm and blood spilling out from his head and mouth, he was no longer able to fight. "Damn, looks like I lost. Even when I gave it my all."
As Lubbock layed there, Doomsday walked towards him as the beast had the metal threads in both its hands. "Well, at least I had a good run," Lubbock thought to himself, "But, I won't deny that there is one thing I regret not doing."
"Najenda, I'm sorry. I never got the chance to say... I love yo-"
Lubbock was interrupted as he felt metal thread wrap around his neck and then the grip of the tread tighten, choking him. Behind Lubbock was Doomsday as the creature had wrapped the assassin's own treads around his neck to strangle him to death. At this point, Lubbock was grabbing on the thread, trying to get it off his throat. This was, however, impossible for him to do as he not only was the thread extremely hard to rip off, but he only had his left arm to do so. The monster kept strangling Lubbock as it tighten the wires harder and slowly as it wanted the assassin's death to be slow and painful. And painful it was as Lubbock was gasping for air, but couldn't due to his throat being forcefully crushed. His neck started to get red markings from the thread with some blood coming out. Then there was his face becoming pure blue was the lack of oxygen and blood poured out from his eyes. This went on for a while until finally, Lubbock stopped struggling and went limp. Lubbock, the green assassin of Nightraid, is dead.
With the assassin now dead, Doomsday decided to finish up it's fun. The creature tighten thread on the neck of the dead Lubbock with extreme strength that, like a blade, the wires cut the neck and assassin's head fell to the ground. It rolled for a bit until the Ultimate stomped on the head, turning it into a bloody paste. With that, Doomsday turned into the air and roared in victory and satisfaction for it's latest kill.
"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Just then, Leone, Najenda, and the rest of the group had just arrived to the scene to help their comrade. But as soon as they got there and saw the scene at hand, they were too late. Lubbock was dead.
While Twiggs, Kurome, and the other soldiers had a sadden look on them, Najenda, Leone, and Mine were the most affected from Lubbock's death. Mine had grieving look with her hair covering her eyes. She felt anger flowing through her mind as she tightened her grip on Pumpkin.
Leone had a look of dread and regret on her. It was bad enough that Lubbock's dead body was in front of them, but she felt that it was her fault that he was dead. She thought that if it wasn't for her PTSD, Leone could have been the one to stall Doomsday longer and Lubbock would have gotten reinforcements faster. Leone began to cry from this as she place her hand over her face.
Out of all of them, Najenda had a complete shock and despair. Her eyes widen in grief to see Lubbock, her longest and most loyal comrade, dead on the ground. She wanted to deny that he was really gone, but seeing the corpse kept telling her that he was gone. Tears began to come out from her eyes as despite not showing it, she loved the green idiot. Like Lubbock. Najenda also wanted to be with him after this war was over with. But now, that was no longer an option as her love one was killed by this bastard of a monster. "Lubbock... not you too," she muttered to her quietly as she to cry a little.
As Doomsday stopped roaring, the creature noticed the small group that had arrived. Seeing more prey in front of it, Doomsday walked towards them as it readied it's bone claws.
But before it could to anything else, a loud scream was made that spooked everyone around. The scream was of that of anger, grief, and pure rage. As the scream was made, a giant beam of energy flew towards Doomsday and hit the creature directly. Because this attack came out of nowhere for the Ultimate, Doomsday didn't have to use it's glass bone shields to deflect the beam. Thus, the creature was being pushed back by the beam of destruction. Everyone was wondering what was happening they saw that the beam was coming from an angry screaming Mine, as she blast Pumpkin at its highest level of power possible.
"YOU DAMN BEAST. I'M DONE SEEING MY FRIENDS DIE BECAUSE OF YOU. I'LL KILL YOU WITH PUMPKIN EVEN IF IT OVERHEATS!!!" Mine screamed in pure rage on her voice.
Najenda was surprised to see Mine act like this. She knew Mine was angry at the monster what it had done their teammates, especially Sheele, but Najenda didn't think she see her like this. So full of rage and hatred cause the pink assassin to take this course of action.
Mine looked at Doomsday with look of rage, hatred, anger, and killing intent as she continued firing her rifle. While this was surprising for everyone around her to see her act like this, Mine had this feeling for a while now. After seeing Sheele, her best friend, be brutally killed by Doomsday, her hatred for the monster began to manifest. She had managed to keep this rage under control during their fights with Doomsday. But after seeing the monster kill Susanoo, Akame, and Lubbock, Mine finally cracked and all her rage out; causing her to want to kill the Ultimate once and for all.
Despite being pushed back by the giant energy beam, Doomsday was able get it's footing back and held on against the attack. Mine continued holding the trigger of her Pumpkin with a raging roar as she made the beam bigger and more powerful to the point the beam turned blue. The energy beam was so massive that it engulfed Doomsday and everything behind the creature, destroying any remaining buildings, scorching the earth, and traveling outside from the Empire.
Elsewhere in the area, we see Tatsumi and Wave running from building to building as they were head to the battlefield to fight Doomsday. "Hey Tatsumi, you think it was a good idea to be out here in our conditions?" Wave asked.
"It is, Wave. After feeling that tremor back at the hideout, I had a feeling the others will need us. Besides, I'm done laying around and doing nothing while everyone else is risking their lives to stopping this creature," said Tatsumi.
"I get man. I feel the same way. Hell, that's the reason I came with you in the first place. But don't you think Chelsea is going to be mad at us for leaving like this without her knowing?" Wave asked in worry.
"Sigh... Yea she will," Tatsumi said as he continued talking, "I know that she's worried about us and that we need all the rest we can get but, we need to take action now. Besides, we're at good enough condition to fight Doomsday now."
"Good point, my arm is feeling alot better than before," Wave said as he looked at his right arm, "But still, I feel that she'll be extremely mad at you since your her teammate."
"Same can be said with you and Kurome when she see you at the battlefield," Tatsumi replied jokingly.
"Good point," said Wave.
Just then, a loud explosive sound was heard which made the two stop in their tracks. They look at the source of the sound and see a massive blue beam of spirit energy traveling through the city.
"Holy shit, what the hell is causing that?!" Wave asked in shock.
Tatsumi looked at the beam for a bit until he realized where it was coming from. "Pumpkin," said Tatsumi.
"What?" Wave said confused.
"It's coming from Mine's teigu, Pumpkin," Tatsumi replied.
"You mean the pink sniper? What the hell could cause her to unleashed something like this?" Wave asked.
"Only one way to find out," Tatsumi said as he and Wave ran towards the beam.
Back with Mine, she was still firing Pumpkin at it's higher possible of destructive power and Doomsday still engulfed in the deadly laser. However as time went on, Pumpkin began to glow hotter to the point that her hands were burning from the heat. Not only that but cracks were appearing along the Teigu as it was about to break. She could even feel her own energy within her running out completely. However, Mine didn't care about this; she wouldn't stop until she knew for sure that Doomsday was dead.
Still inside the energy beam, Doomsday was getting pissed off from being in this position. Even though the beam was at all hurting it, the Ultimate was loosing it's footing which caused it to be pushed back little by little. At this point, the Walking War Machine wanted this annoyance to end. With this determination, Doomsday flinch it's eyes as they began to glow red. The glow got brighter and brighter to the point that the others to somewhat see it within the blue beam.
"What the hell is that?" Najenda thought to herself when seeing the two red lights.
Doomsday eyes kept glowing, becoming red bright lights, until the Ultimate completely opened its eyes. When that happened, a red laser came out from eyes as the creature roared in fury. The heat vision was so powerful the laser was piercing through Mine's energy beam like a hot knife through butter. At extreme speeds, the heat vision went towards the surprised Mine. Once the attack connected, an explosion happen; causing the large energy beam to cease and a pillar of smoke taking its place.
Everyone was stunned for a bit from the blast until they regained their senses and looked at the scene that had happened. Najenda and Leone had worried faces on them as they were wondering what happened to Mine. Once the smoke cleared, Najenda's and Leone's faces changed to that of shock and horror. They see Mine as she was missing her arm and almost half her body with pieces of the once Pumpkin on the ground. Mine had a surprise and terrified look on her as she was processing what had happened to her. With blood coming out of her mouth and having almost all of organs gone on her right side, she lost her balance and fell to the cold hard earth. "No... not like this... not like this," were the last words she thought to herself before she stopped breathing and layed on the ground, dead.
Najenda and Leone at Mine's corpse with dread as they lost another member to their family. During this, Doomsday walked out of the clouds of smoke as it looked completely fine; now near the two women. "Najenda, Leone, look out!!" Twiggs yelled as the assassins. But Doomsday was already near and had it's fists up, ready to crush the two women. However, before it could take action, the beast was launched away by some kind of force.
Najenda, Leone, and the rest were shocked by what pushed back the monster until saw two figures. Those two figures were Tatsumi and Wave in their respective teigu armor. "You alright, you two?" Tatsumi asked.
"We are thanks to you. But, what are doing you and Wave doing here?" Najenda asked.
"Yea Wave. You should be resting," Kurome said.
"Sorry, Kurome. Me and Tatsumi felt you guys needed some help fighting Doomsday. And looking at the situation, we're right," said Wave.
"So you guys rest up. We'll take care of this," Tatsumi said as he and Wave walk towards Doomsday.
As the two armor users walked, Doomsday get up from the ground and looked at the two with hatred in it's red eyes. Tatsumi summons out his Neuntote spear as Wave cracks his knuckles for combat.
"First you kill Susanoo and Akame, but now you killed Lubbock and Mine. I'm going to make sure you pay for that," Tatsumi said with anger and rage in his voice.
"Let's make this bastard suffer for what it did our friends," Tatsumi said towards Wave.
"You got it," Wave replied.
With that, Tatsumi and Wave roared for combat and ran towards hee Ultimate with the beast doing the same. At this very moment, the battle between Tatsumi and Wave against Doomsday had begun.
Aaaaaaaannnnnnnd that's a wrap. Next time is going to be Tatsumi and Wave against Doomsday. Again, sorry if it's been a while since I released a chapter for this fanfic. Now with that out of the way, let's move to the next time:

And Tatsumi and Wave have arrived to the battlefield to confront Doomsday. Can their teamwork be enough to defeat the beast? When will Esdeath finally confront the Ultimate?
