Tatsumi vs Henter

Hitting the masked man with his long spear, Tatsumi growled when he saw the puppet dodge all his attacks as if he were a simple ghost. Carried away by a gentle breeze, he kept moving in all directions and Tatsumi even had the impression that he had the capacity to dislocate.

" Damn it, but you're human, you? "

" Too slow ! Too slow ! " Sneered Henter, in a mocking voice.

Suddenly disappearing, he found himself standing on Tatsumi's spear.

" What? "

Taking his hand out from under his cloak to show a brass knuckles, Henter smiled wickedly while raising his arm. Then hitting Tatsumi's head, he made him move back a little, while cracks appeared in his helmet. The man in front of him didn't have to be a corpse, the fact remained that his strength was phenomenal.

"Tsss! This bastard would have killed me if I hadn't had my armor. "

" You is bad. " Sneered Henter, starting to run around him. " Too slow. "

Continuing to hit Tatsumi in all directions, he created cracks all over the place while Tatsumi had the greatest difficulty watching him.

Finally finding himself in front of Tatsumi, he cocked his fist again to strike him at full power at chest level.

" It's finish." He sneered, seeing Tatsumi's armor give in under his punch.

Spitting blood through his helmet, Tatsumi showed that he had really felt the power of the last punch. However, that didn't stop him from reacting in time.

Brandishing his arm, he had no trouble grabbing Henter's head, now that Henter was near him and had the misfortune to lower his guard. Trying in vain to free himself, Henter was unable to cope with the powerful grip of Tatsumi.

" Never underestimate Night Raid. " The boy roared, hitting him against the ground.

Seeing his head explode, Tatsumi then threw him into the air before jumping to meet him, armed with his spear.

" DIE! "

And before Henter's body could react, he was cut in half, from the top of his head to his crotch. Landing then on the ground, Tatsumi expired a large blow, while the two pieces of the body of Henter collapsed on the ground not to be raised any more.

"A defeated enemy! "

Lily vs Apeman

Roaring like the monster he was, Apeman tried to smash Lily under his fists, while he contented himself with dodging each of his blows.

" This bastard is both strong and fast! However, it lacks reflexes! If I pick it up quickly, it will be unable to fight back in time. "

Hitting him again, Apeman crashed into the ground, while Lily had jumped over the gorilla. Then landing behind him, he charged him, sword in front. Having not said his last word, Apeman managed to turn around in time and punched him again.

Having no other choice, Lily threw her sword in the air, before changing form. Decreasing its size, he managed to dodge the monkey's fist, bending down. Then, flying up in the air, he found himself above him, before resuming his warlike form. Recovering his sword in mid-flight, he uttered a battle cry before decapitating the gorilla.

Then finding himself behind the monkey, he put away his sword while affirming.

" We are maybe both be animals, but you are just a corpse that can only imitate a semblance of what your real body was! "

However, as he was about to leave, he was struck by a powerful punch. Touching on the left side, he was thrown against a rock.

Spitting blood while moaning in pain, he opened an eye to see the headless body of Apeman right in front of him.

" It's a joke? How can he still move without his head? "

Certainly not going to answer him, Apeman's body jumped into the air and intended to crush him under his imposing body.

Rolling immediately to the side, Lily dodged her load. Still, moving too suddenly, it further damaged the area where it had just been struck.

" Humpf! This primate didn't miss me. "

Charging him again, Apeman cocked his fist to give him the final blow.

" Okay, I have to cut you in pieces so that you stop moving? "

Running in turn towards the monkey, he then ends up rolling on the ground, and passed gracefully between the legs of the corpse.

Barely having time to understand what he had just done, Apeman suddenly fell to the ground, while his legs had just been cut. Having sliced them in an instant, Lily turned to the animal and targeted, this time, his arms. Attempting a vain attack, the gorilla brandishes its arm towards Lily, to see the latter cutting it. Continuing on this path, the Exceed did the same with his second arm, before finally cutting the primate's torso in half.

Exhausted, Lily regained his short stature, while a veritable puddle of blood faced him, comprising numerous pieces of body. Seeing that nothing more of he was moving, he dropped back, to relieve his damaged ribs.

" Luckily there were not two like him! I would have been wrong. "

Najenda vs Rokugou

Propelling his mechanical arm, Najenda managed to strike the former general in the face. Then, grabbing his collar, she made him come towards him before giving him a splendid kick, making him fall to the ground.

" I regret what I do, General Rokugou! But, as a former colleague, I will free you from this spell as soon as possible. "

Not seeming to understand anything about her spiel, the doll managed to grab her arm and made her pass over her body. Being then released, he seized his whip, which he sent to Najenda. Having a hard time keeping up with the pace of his shots, Najenda could only jump back to dodge them.

Seeing this, Rokugou hit the ground so hard that his whip disappeared underground.

" That … ? " Said Najenda.

Suddenly appearing at his feet, the tip of the weapon pulverized the ground, after having dug a path in the rock. However, striking the tip of the whip with his mechanical arm, Najenda managed to divert his way.

" I know each of your moves. " She assured, then pointing her arm to Rokugou.

Throwing his member again towards the former general, Najenda unfortunately could only wedge him on the cliff, while the man had no trouble dodging him.

But while Rokugou was about to use this advantage, he finally saw Najenda rush straight at him, while she took advantage of his arm being completely trapped, to propel himself towards him. Passing then near the man, she made a perfect rotation of the hips, and sent a kick which pulverized the head of her enemy in one strike.

" Now you can rest in peace. "

However, as Apeman had done to Lily, the puppet had no trouble getting up, much to Najenda's anger.

" Up to what point does this teigu account dishonor all these people? "

And before hearing any form of response, she struck the torso of the corpse with full force.

Susanoo vs Death-ghoul

Jumping from rock to rock, Susanoo turned all around the huge skeleton which, him, had to constantly spin on himself to have him in his field of vision. Examining it in all aspects, Susanoo identified each of his bones and his movements to find the right strategy for him.

Finally, raising his weapon in front of him, he charged Death-Ghoul like a cannon ball, and struck his foot. Cracking the latter's bone, the teigu managed to make him lose his balance somewhat. But straightening up in time, the giant monster avoided the fall and counter-attacked with its destructive breath.

Stepping back to dodge the latter, Susanoo then seemed surprised to see a body flutter towards the attack, before being disintegrated by the latter.

" Huh? "

" Don't worry ! He was an enemy. " Najenda assured him by positioning herself behind him, just after launching Rokugou in the attack on Death-Ghoul.

" At least, we are both very resistant. "

" I may try to hide it, I would never be able to cope with this monster. " Confessed Najenda, staring at the creature in front of them. " Susanoo, I authorize the use of "the master card". "

" Understood. "

Concentrating then Susanoo concentrated all his energy before murmuring.

" Manifestation of the Magatama! "

Then drawing Najenda's vital energy to enlarge his own, the teigu had his hair changed colors, while his musculature grew somewhat. Above him, in place of his mass, an enormous circle now served him as a weapon.

" Get ready, underworld monster! The second round will begin. "

Faking his new shape, Death-Ghost aimed at him again before his powerful beam was directed at him. Not even bothering to dodge it, Susanoo swung his circle in front of him which immediately acted as a shield and, thanks to it, he got out without the slightest scratch. Better yet, his magic circle even managed to return part of the ray towards Death-Ghoul, whose body was partially reduced to ashes under impact.

" YADA'S MIRROR! " Whispered Susanoo.

Then, making his shield disappear, he dropped in the direction of the skeleton and struck him with a multitude of devastating punches which further damaged his body. Unable to back away, the poor monster then saw Susanoo jump over him, while invoking a long sword in his hand.

Trying to load a new destructive ray, all the skeleton could do was to breathe in a little air, before Susanoo's sword cut it up and down.

" AME NO MURAKOMO! "

Then seeing Death Ghoul falling apart, before her, Najenda smiled, while saying.

" A power of attack that cannot be disputed! How I could expect it from my precious teigu. "

Mine and Spear vs Doya

Seeing Spear spinning her spear, before sending it towards her, Doya dodged each shot before counterattacking with her revolvers. Seeing this, Spear immediately jumped back, to find herself behind Mine. Using Pumpkin, her comrade barred each of the projectiles.

Once Doya's magazines were empty, she was forced to run into the forest to save time to reload her weapons.

" Hey, don't run away. " Cried Spear, chasing her.

" No wait. " Wanted to stop her Mine.

Too late. Disappearing in the forest, Spear showed her ambition to get rid of Doya as soon as possible.

" Damn it, but what an idiot. " Growled Mine, chasing after her.

But suddenly, a huge frog blocked her path.

" What? "

Spear vs Doya

Running between the trees, Spear ends up stopping while the blonde was nowhere.

" Grrr! Get out of your hiding place. "

A ball then whistled near her face, piercing her hair. Turning around immediately, she saw Doya, sitting on a branch, with a smile clearly showing that she had deliberately missed her to play with her.

Then, leaping from branch to branch, she fired new projectiles at Spear. Being forced to flee, the young woman was able to take refuge behind the trunks of several trees, each time changing hiding place when Doya chose a new perch.

Seeing her take refuge behind an old oak tree, Doya lengthened her smile and, without the slightest noise, landed behind the tree trunk. Stepping forward, she made a quick outline of the tree, before pointing her revolvers where Spear's head must have been.

Yet to her surprise, she was not there.

" Surprise! "

Looking up, Doya saw Spear just above her. With her fingers and the back of her heels buried as deep as possible in the bark of the tree, Spear had managed to climb and was now ready to launch an attack.

Not finding it much fun anymore, Doya started targeting her. However, falling immediately, Spear struck her weapons with the tip of her spear, causing them to fall to the ground.

" Without your arms, you are at my mercy. "

And immediately, she made a series of attacks with the aim of finishing off her opponent. Unable to back away while dodging, Doya stopped smiling and even seemed surprised when her back hit the trunk of a tree. Seeing her trapped, Spear immediately pushed her spear towards her heart and pierced it.

" I got you. " She rejoices.

However, Doya's smile reappeared at that moment. Grabbing a hand of Spear's spear to prevent it from loosening it, Doya then took off her hat, to grab the revolver that he was hiding.

" What? " Spear frightened.

Not even having time to back off, she heard three detonations. Still, she didn't even hurt, despite being hit. Falling backwards, she felt like time had stopped completely when she was unable to move her body. And it wasn't until she hit the ground that she realized it was the end for her.

Mine vs Kaiser Frog

Shooting again and again, Mine could only be frightened when each of her shots hit the amphibian which served her as an opponent, without causing it the slightest damage.

" But what is the problem with its skin? "

Even worse. Still having its tongue wrapped around her ankle, the frog had no trouble taking her to its mouth and was already beginning to swallow her.

" Stop! Let go of me, damn frog! As if I was going to die, in a place like this. "

Grabbing Kaiser's lip, she forced herself not to let go, while affirming.

" I have lots of things to do! I have to save the empire and help my stupid friends stay alive! Night Raid would be nothing without their great sniper! And then .. and then, whatever happens, I will be there when Scheele comes out of a coma and finally opens her eyes. "

However, her words were in vain as she disappeared inside the frog's mouth.

Leone vs Wall

Striking Wall's shield without interruption, Leone continued punching, while Wall moved his shield back and forth to ward off any of her attacks. Then, after a few minutes, realizing that none of her attacks had the slightest effect, Leone ended up retreating by several meters, before affirming.

" For a dead man, you have some pretty good reflexes! You know you're the kind of guy we hope to recruit at Night Raid? "

Wall's response was silent, just waiting for Leone to come back on the attack.

" Yeah, forget! I much prefer the people who can answer me. "

Then swelling the muscles of her arms, she then released her claws, while asserting.

" You were a bodyguard known for having the best defense, right? Let's see if it is really effective against my brute force. "

Propelling herself straight on Wall, she intended only to break his shield in one blow, with a powerful direct attack. It was therefore for this that the man caught him off guard, pointing the top of his shield towards her, so that she could distinguish a hidden spear there.

" What? "

Pulling immediately, Wall managed to touch her in the middle of her abdomen, causing her to spit blood.

"The bastard." Thought Leone, falling forward. "He got me. "

However, raising her head, to display her determined look, she ignored the pain to continue her race. Then his fist hit Wall's shield and cracks immediately appeared on the surface of the object.

" Don't even think for a second… "

Crossing Wall's shield, destroying it in pieces, her arm managed to cross the man's abdomen, destroying a large part of his belly.

" … be able to defeat a member of Night Raid. "

Remaining standing first, Wall eventually collapsed, now that Leone had managed to destroy his spine, preventing him from being able to stand. Seeing him nevertheless, alive, she gave him a powerful kick, which destroyed his head.

It was only then that she dropped to the ground, with the spear still stuck in her belly.

" I ... I did it. " She rejoices, feeling her eyes close. " For Night Raid…, I won. "

It was her last words before plunging into a deep sleep.

Natsu and Akame vs Natala and Kurome

Seeing Natala's weapon lengthen, Happy quickly gained altitude, so that the blade of the long sword didn't reach them.

" Hell, his sword is like Lily's. "

" This must be a teigu. " Understood Natsu. " It would miss more than it is poisoned. "

Seeing them stay in the air, Natala suddenly rushed towards a cliff. Running at full speed, he gained enough momentum to put one foot on the vertical wall, before continuing to run along it.

" He runs on the wall. "

" Is it a ninja or what? "

Then as soon as he reached a good height, Natala jumped straight towards the duo, weapon forward.

Hitting him with a punch, Natsu managed to deflect it to the side, before grasping the arm of the corpse.

" Don't push your luck too far, you! Even if you are nothing more than a corpse controlled by this girl, I would have no pity to reproach you. "

Then giving him a violent knee to the jaw, he ejected him back before using his fist to finish him off.

" FIRE DRAGON'S FIST! "

Hit in the head, Natala was propelled against the cliff and disappeared among the rocks of the latter.

" You finished it? " Asked Happy.

" No ! I doubt it will be over. " Replied Natsu.

" Hey, Natsu. " Cried Tatsumi, while he was below him. " Need of help ? "

" Don't worry, I manage. " Assured him the mage.

Nevertheless, a long tongue wrapped around his wrist while Kaiser Frog was not far from him.

" Wow, a giant frog. " Happy remarked.

" Is it also a doll? "

Seeing also the animal, Tatsumi spun his spear before striking a violent blow at the tongue of the batrachian, and cut it in half.

'' Get out of our way, dirty hideous monster. "

As if the insult had managed to annoy him, the frog jumped in his direction, while swelling its cheeks. Then spitting a jet of acid, she forced Tatsumi to retreat, while the ground, watered by the attack, began to liquefy.

" Acid? "

"I doubt that Incursio can bear this! "

Then cocking his spear, he pointed his end at Kaiser Frog while the frog swelled its cheeks again.

" But it is certainly not a stupid frog that will have me. " He roared, rushing at it.

Still, suddenly screaming in pain, Kaiser felt a beam pass through him from the inside, destroying his entire back. Standing just above the body, Happy and Natsu stepped back just in time so as not to be hit by this ray, which seemed strangely familiar to them.

" What? But it's … "

" AHHHHHHHH ! Disgusting. " Roared Mine, leaving Kaiser Frog's stomach. " It's the worst day of my life. "

" Mine? What were you doing in her womb? Do you really think it's time to have fun? "

" Because you think I purposely made myself eat, you moron? "

Saved by a reflex, Mine left the body of Kaiser, who was then cut into pieces by two sabers.

Fighting against each other, Kurome and Akame fought a merciless battle where the slightest misstep could lead one of them to death. However, while Akame had the advantage at the start of the fight, Kurome gradually gained the upper hand.

" It's bad ! Now that several of her puppets are dead, she has gained power by recovering the energy that allowed these corpses to remain standing! "

Trying to touch her on the level of the face, Akame couldn't even graze her, while Kurome tilted her head to the side, as if she had planned her attack in advance.

" I know you so well, big sister! I memorized each of your attacks and I know the least of their weaknesses. "

And to prove it, a wound appeared on Akame's arm, showing that Kurome had been able to hit her, while dodging.

" When you become my puppet, we will form the best duo there is. "

" In your dreams ! The only thing waiting for you is a tombstone. "

Watching their fight from the air, Natsu remained motionless, not quite knowing how to intervene between the two sisters who were ready to kill each other.

" Natsu…! Are we really going to let them do it? "

" For now, they both want to settle this in a fight to the death. " Noticed Natsu. " If this is their way of settling a dispute, so be it! However, we will intervene if it goes too far. "

Not thinking like him, Natala then managed to leave the cliff where he had been embedded, to rush back towards Natsu.

" What? Do you still want some? No problem, this time I would go all out. "

Gajeel vs Bols

" Impossible ! " Murmured Bols. " You cannot be alive after such an attack. "

Just smiling, Gajeel took a step towards Bols, despite the fact that his body was covered by the latter's flames.

" Do you call it a torrent of fire? Because, sorry, but the salamander is capable of much more power than that. "

" MAGMA DRIVE! " Bols roared, aiming him again.

Immediately hardening his skin, Gajeel let his metal scales protect his body which was in no way damaged by the flames of Bols.

" It's useless! I fight night and day against Natsu! I have no fear of flames! And again, luckily for you not to have come across him! Fighting you would have been more beneficial to him than anything else. "

" What do you mean ? "

" Mystery. " Sneered Gajeel. " In any case, I hope you said goodbye to the rest of your team, because your life ends today. "

" I won't lose in front of you. " Retorted Bols. " It is true that I deserve to die, after all the fires I have created! All these people who I charred and who are surely waiting for me in the other world to take revenge! In no case do I deserve to live after all these horrors committed! However, I cannot leave by abandoning my dear ones. "

" The people who are dear to you? "

" Yes ! My family… Kije and Logue! As well as my new friends… Commander Run and Seryu Kurome and Wave, and of course Wendy! Whatever happens, I have to be there to help them and I can never rest in peace, abandoning them. "

Listening to him, Gajeel ends up asking him.

" Why ? "

" Why what ? "

" Despite your mask and your muscles, it quickly shows that you are not the type of guy who appreciates violence! So why would you want to fight us? Why did you want to join the Jaegers? "

" Quite simply to allow my family to live! I'm not an idiot, you know! Compared to Wave and the others, I know the true face of the Empire and know that my family can be killed at any time, for any reason! And that, I would not allow it! As long as I am among the Jaegers, my rank will provide them with sufficient protection so that they can live in peace! That's why I became a Jaeger. "

Listening to him, Gajeel ends up sighing.

" You are just a moron. "

" Huh? "

" Know the real face of the empire and think carefully, you could have found a hundred solutions to fight in the right camp, while protecting your family! Bols, you're not someone who wants to kill! But by fighting for the cause of this bastard Prime Minister, you become a real criminal! "

" No matter what I become. " Retorted Bols, running towards him. " As long as my family is safe, I would even become a cobaye for them. "

Seeing him pretend to throw a punch, Gajeel transformed his arm into a sword, before slashing his abdomen deeply. Screaming in pain Bols was forced to back away, while laying his hand on his wound.

" Is it already finished? "

" Never. " Bols assured, then throwing away the huge container he was carrying on his back.

" Huh ? Are you desperate to the point of ...? "

Widening his eyes, Gajeel fell silent when he saw the detonator that Bols was holding in his hand.

" A pity to get there, but you don't leave me the choice! Die! "

" IRON DRAGON CLUB! "

In a desperate attack, Gajeel hardens his fist before stretching it out. Making him shoot at full speed, he couldn't help feeling his heart beating a hundred hours, as he managed to hit Bols' chest. Then propelled back, the latter made a magnificent gliding flight, while he released the detonator.

Unfortunately falling, upside down, it still posed a threat, while the button was going to hit the ground.

" AHHHHHHHH ! It's going to jump. " Cried Gajeel, immediately rushing behind a large rock.

Placing his hands immediately against his ears, he let the seconds go by, before noticing that nothing was happening.

" Huh? " He wondered, risking a glance.

And to his surprise, the detonator was no longer there. He had, as it were, disappeared.

" But… But how? "

" Is that what you want ? "

Looking up into the air, Gajeel immediately smiled, as he saw Lily flying through the air, while holding the detonator in his hand.

" Decidedly, I never regret having you as a partner. " Gajeel said, while Lily threw the detonator at him.

Seeing Gajeel destroy the object, Lily then glanced around to find that Bols was not there.

" We have a problem ! I think he ran away! "
