Chapter 50: Kill Wild Hunt Part 1

In a Revolutionary Army Military Outpost named, Shisuikart, the quartet of Najenda, Tatsumi, Akame and Dairoku were walking through the more crowded area of this, with all four wearing long coats. While Najenda her normal black one and Akame, her dark red one, Tatsumi wore a silver coat while Dairoku wore a dark charcoal colored one, with red stitching. Also another noticeable difference with the two males were their eyes.

Since Incursio began to fuse with him, Tatsumi's right eye became the eye of the Danger Beast that Incursio was created out of, Tyrant, becoming red in color instead of green like his left eye, and the pupil of that red eye was shaped like a type of thin cross, like Tyrant's. For Dairoku on the other hand, his right hand was wrapped in bandages, not because it was damaged or anything. Athena had provided these special magic-coated bandages to help suppress DEATH's control over him, so that he could have time to piece himself back together. His left eye also changed, to being gold and like a analogue clock, that would began to tick everytime he goes into battle again.

(A/N: "Those are how Dairoku's eyes are like now. And the picture below shows the bandages he has on his right hand)

Najenda: "We now call a meeting of all the Teigu and Zodiac users of the Revolutionary Army. We need to form a plan so that we're able to strike Esdeath down with Ketsuekime. We know it's unlikely any normal attack is capable of killing her, and with the destruction of Murasame, Ketsu is our last hope. So we must use the ancient scythe of instant death if we want to bring her down."

Tatsumi and Dairoku's serious glares hardened as Akame unsheathed Ketsuekime from her back and twirled it before presenting it.

Akame: "Roger!"

She projected, determined. However when she had spoken, it was almost as if she had a double voice as in the background to her own voice, there was a second voice; the voice of Kuraime. Dairoku noticed and was surprised.

Athena: "Heh.. Even when she isn't physically alive, her spirit is still fighting alongside us. Now she's what I'd call a true assassin"

CHAPTER 50: KILL WILD HUNT PART 1

Lieselotte: "Chrono Calculation!" With a bright flash of purple light, Lieselotte, along with other Revolutionists arrived at a Revolutionary Base that was said to be attacked by a large Danger Beast. However, upon arriving, their eyes widened in horror as they saw the entire place was in ruins and a mountain of bodies laid before them.

(A/N: "Now we know the chick wielding Extase in this scene and the chapters after this, wasn't given a name, so for story purposes, we'll give her one.")

Sekai: "T-This can't be..." She said, her expression displaying mortification and disgust. "Send word out to all of our groups' watches to stand vigilant and hold their ground!! Immediately!!! This macabre massacre... The atrocity of it.. was this the work of the Empires Black Forces? If that's the case, we'll respond in king..." Lieselotte only narrowed her eyes before purple magic wrappings began to surround her.

Lieselotte: "It's obvious on who did this. It was definitely Dorothea and Izou's doing.. and whatever monstrosity they created. *looks back at them* I suspected this, so I already sent Selina over to Night Raid's base to warn them. While she does that and they prepare for attack, you guys will report this to the Revolutionaries."

Sekai: "And you?"

Lieselotte: "I'll draw them out. I remember Selina telling me she had friends staying at this very camp before coming to visit me.. I need to go teach Dorothea a little lesson about messing my by sweet baby sister." She said her glare becoming hardened with surprising seriousness. Before she was about to teleport away, Sekai walked up to her and touched her shoulder, causing her to look at her.

Sekai: "You'll be going against two Wild Hunt members plus a Danger Beast. You may be a former Rakshasa Demon, but I don't like those odds. So let's even the playing field, shall we?" Her gaze was equally as serious as the blonde, who stared back at her before smirking a bit.

Lieselotte: "Now you're talking my language! Let's crush these guys~!"

>>Meanwhile<<

In Night Raid's hideout, everyone was doing their usual thing, as they had not received the work about the attack on that Revolutionary Base. With everyone present in the lounge, their attention was soon captured by a familiar purple glow in the center of it.

Najenda: "Lieselotte?" She immediately said as everyone looked to see a familiar twin tailed blonde appear before them, only for her to yelp as she fell over onto the ground, groaning. Everyone was taken aback by the... different entrance while Dairoku just narrowed his eyes before..

Dairoku: "Wait... you're...?"

Mira: "Selina-San!?" She wheeled over to the blonde with the glasses as she slowly stood up.

Selina: "Owie... Damn it, big sis and your crazy magic..." She shook her head and looked at Mira, her eyes widening. "Mira-Senpai!?"

Levi: "Oh? Hehe, well look decided to flop out of nowhere." She said, a grin plastered all over her face as she had her hand on her hip. Selina looked over at her.

Selina: "Levi-San!?" Levi only flashed her a wave with a 'Yo' as Mira slowly helped the female to her feet. Selina looked around the base, seeing the other Night Raiders looking at her with a shocked expression before she realized. "I made it to Night Raid's base! I did it, big sis!"

Akame: "I take it you're Lieselotte's younger sister?" She questioned as she rose an eyebrow with Tatsumi blinking in surprise.

Tatsumi: "Little sister??"

Selina: "Yep. I am Selina Sherlock. Pleased to be at your service, Night Raiders." She said with quite an adorable grin as she made a finger gun and pointed it, with one of her eyes closed.

Saber: "Huh... Interesting.. I did not hear of the witch having a younger sibling."

Leone: "Haha. Well she definitely is her little sister. Looks like her and acts like her too." She commented, laughing while Chelsea hummed and giggled.

Chelsea: "I didn't know Liese had such an adorable little sister. Almost makes me jealous~" She said with a teasing grin, with Selina blushing a bit and stuttering.

Selina: "I-I... W-Well-!" She paused, upon looking over to Lubbock, who had on quite the perverted expression as he was staring at her.

Lubbock: "Liese's rack is amazing, especially when I got to experience it... But her sister's not bad either Hehehe..." He said, him chuckling lowly before he suddenly stopped, his eyes widening in horror as he felt quite a presence in front of him. It wasn't Dairoku like he expected... rather, I was Mira, her glare filled with disgust. "O-Oh shit..."

It was at this moment that Lubbock knew.. he fucked up.

*Damaged Nut Flick*

Then...

Everyone just silently watched as the green-haired assassin fell to the ground, holding his precious lower region.

Lubbock: "I-I'm... sorry..."

Mira: "Hmph."

Levi: "Bwahahaha!!! That was amazing! But it does make me wonder.. Yoy went for his nuts without hesitation. You trying to suggest at something, Mira-San~?"  She asked in a teasing smirk as the blonde mage blushed a bit.

Mira: "I-I swear on the system of justice, Levi-San..!!!"

Levi: "Ehehe! Just kidding!"

Najenda: *sweat drops* "So that's where that scream came from that one time..." Selina just stared wide-eyed before a hand resting on her head, causing her to look up to see Dairoku patting her head gently.

Dairoku: "Stop messing with her guys. You came here in Liese's place, right? What's happening, Selina?" The blonde stared at him for a good five seconds before blushing and stammering back to her senses.

Selina: "A-Ah! R-Right, Dairoku-Senpai." She stuttered as she took out a small note pad.

Dairoku's thoughts: "...-_-... I swear to fuck... these people are trying to make me sound old..."

Athena telepathically: "Haha! That's golden!"

Selina: "A-Anyways... big sis wanted me to deliver a message... 'A Revolutionary Camp was attacked. No doubt Wild Hunt did it from the brutality of the massacre...'"

>>Next Night; with Wild Hunt<<

Standing on top of a cliff, was Dorothea and Izou, with quite a large spider-like Danger Beast behind them; it was Cosmina, who was turned into a Danger Beast by Dorothea after Mine had shot her through the chest and seemingly killed her. They were standing over what looked like another Revolutionary Camp below.

Dorothea: "Well then, how about we attack that encampment over there today?"

Izou: "Hmph.. yet another banquet for us? We are truly living in luxury these days." He said, with a small smirk. However..

Lieselotte: "Ara~? Mind if I join~?" Both turned around as they saw the blonde twin tailed witch appearing in front of them with a purple glow. A small seductive blush appeared on her face as she grinned at them, sticking her tongue out playfully.

Dorothea: "The second last Rakshasa Demon, Lieselotte? Oh why the hell not? With your abilities, this will be even more fun!"

Lieselotte: "Ehehehe~ Very well.." She said with a grin before she slowly approached them. "But.. Dorothea? Izou? May I ask you both of a favor?"

Izou: "What is it, witch?"

Lieselotte: "Can you both die for me?" Both members of Wild Hunt blinked and looked back at the blonde.

Dorothea: "Uhh... Do you mind saying that again, sweetie?"

Lieselotte: "Oh you heard me darling~" She suddenly appeared behind them, floating in mid air with her hands behind her back and her smirk growing. "Could you both die for me? It'll be very convenient for me and the Revolution."

She said as she tapped both of their backs, causing dark magic glyphs to appear on their backs. Izou managed to slash it quickly before jumping away while for Dorothea, it exploded, sending the her flying forwards flat onto her face. With her putting her hand on her hip, Lieselotte walked towards and leaned in front of the scientist, licking her lips.

Dorothea: "Y-You..!"

Lieselotte: "Ara~ To think I'd get this perfect opportunity to finally put an end to the Empire's worst police force, it almost seems too good to be true." Dorothea was growling in annoyance, her Teigu fangs showing off before she suddenly began to grin.

Dorothea: "Oh you'd be right about that part."

She said as behind Lieselotte was Cosmina who was getting ready to strike her with one of her giant sickle hands. However, blood flew out of her back, as she shrieked in pain and stumbled forwards; it was from the new Extase wielder, Sekai.

Sekai: "You know you're quite careless."

Lieselotte: "I knew you'd have by back, dear. Besides, it's fun to tease the old hag~"

She said, as she specifically grinned at Dorothea who was growling in rage from the nickname. Lieselotte went over to a rock and sat on it, crossing one leg over the other and stretching her arm into the air, letting out a slight moan.

Lieselotte: "Sekai, what's the status on our allies?"

Sekai: "They should be arriving right about..." The sounds of jet turbines roared throughout the area as a black and red blur flew out of the trees behind them and towards Cosmina; it was Akame and she had struck the Danger Beast female's back with Ketsuekime, causing she to shriek out before falling over limp, with Ketsuekime's curse taking effect.

Dorothea: "W-Was that really Akame!? That armor can fly!?"

Lieselotte: "Yup. Kinda jealous~" She said with a small pout before Sekai lightly smacked her head. Akame landed in front of Dorothea, her mechanical blue eyes glaring daggers at the female and a familiar Hell-Hawk landing on her shoulder. Dorothea and Izou, who had returned by her side, seemed to have put everything together

Dorothea: "Hmph.. So you've already figured out our movement patterns after just three assaults?"

Sekai: "Well let's just say you didn't go a good job at hiding the evidence." She said crossing her arms, with Extase handing from his arm via its handles.

Akame (Ajax): "Indeed. After attacking an encampment, you immediately withdraw. There were only a few encampments that were convenient to retreat towards." She said as the Hell-Hawk flew off of her before circling Dorothea and Izou and transforming into Dairoku, who landed next to his girlfriend, Sekai and Lieselotte.

Dairoku: "So all we did was assess with encampments we would choose if we were planning on assassinating in droves. And this one was the next on the list. And of course, we had a bit assistance." He looked towards Lieselotte and Sekai, before giving a thumbs up towards them. "We got Selina's message. Let's do this together."

He said as he snapped his fingers. Suddenly, Leone, Tatsumi and Saber leaped out of the forest and stood by their sides. Chelsea, Lubbock and Mira were instructed to stay back at the base, with Chelsea and Mira taking time to fully regain their strength after their handicaps and train more, with Selina assisting her, while Levi would use her Ninja abilities and Camouflage to spy in the Empire.

Saber: "The unnecessary brutality... it wasn't as bad as when all 6 of you were alive, but it was obvious.."

Tatsumi: "After thinking it over, this whole thing reeked of Wild Hunt.."

Leone: "Which meant that some of you were still alive." The four key members of Night Raid, along with the revolutionary Zodiac spy, Lieselotte and the revolutionary Teigu wielder, Sekai were now in front of the, six to two.

Dorothea: "Night Raid... all their key members, right in front of us.. So.. Tatsumi really did survive."

Izou: "So did the Death's Harbinger. Impressive."

Dorothea: "Ah well.. I've given Cosmina more than enough power to devour you all." She said, snapping her fingers as suddenly the Danger Beast female rose back to her feet, taking everyone by surprise.

Sekai: "I-Impossible...!"

Leone: "What the hell!? Didn't you just cut it with Ketsu!?"

Dairoku: "There.." He pointed towards a gem located on Cosmina's chest which glowed before shattering.

Akame (Ajax): "A body double...!?"

Lieselotte: "Oh... That I didn't expect..."

The six revolutionaries leaped out of the way immediately, dodging a strike from Cosmina's sickles, which shattered the ground it impacted.

Leone: "What the!? What's going on here!?"

Saber: "That jewel.. is that what I think it is..!?"

Dorothea: "That's right! The Philosopher's Stone. Well, I suppose merely saying it won't allow you to fully grasp all the implications. Just think of it as an ultimate, Super Item of sorts. It can even manipulate such as your Zodiacs and Teigu,"

Sekai: "Good thing only one exists and it's been wasted..." She mumbled under her breath with Akame dashing past her.

Akame (Ajax): "Focus."

Sekai: "R-Right."

Dairoku: "Tch... So you killed thousands just to make that.."

Dorothea: "Oh? Seems like you caught on quickly. Ah, but don't worry. From what I heard, DEATH created two of these to create Yoake and Ketsuekime."

Dairoku: "Just shut it already you old hag!" He yelled, with Yoake in sword form as he dashed forwards towards her.

"Vengeful Dragon; Balance Breaker!"



However, he was soon stopped by Izou who stood before him, his intimidating aura radiating around. Dairoku however just glared up at her through his Balance Breaker's helmet.

Izou: "As a fellow blade user such as myself, I shall be your opponent."

Dairoku (Barbatos): "Tch.. I just don't have for Swordsmanship bullshit. Who makes the first strike, wins." He said as his armor's thrusters blast out red jets, with him preparing to charge forwards.

Meanwhile with Tatsumi and Saber, both of them stood before the gigantic Cosmina. With her roaring out, she charged forwards, lunging one of her scythe arms towards them, but Saber quickly got in front of the brown-haired teen, swinging her Excalibur, sending a Mana Arc that clashed with her attack and send her sliding back. As she charged forwards, Tatsumi's voice roared out.

Tatsumi: "INCURSIO!!!" With him dawning is more organic Teigu Armor, he charged up and past Saber who backed away to dodge a scythe attack. Tatsumi quickly countered however, by swinging his halberd, colliding with the Danger Beast Female and sending her flying back quite a bit.

Tatsumi (Incursio): "Leave this to me and Saber-San!

Akame (Ajax): "Tatsumi!!"

Tatsumi (Incursio): "Looks like you got tons of gimmicks up your sleeve huh? Then let's see how you handle someone who confronts you head on!"

Saber: "Do not worry, Akame." She said as she leaped up to Tatsumi's level. "I'll make sure he doesn't overexert himself." The armored ravenette looked up as she saw both Saber and Tatsumi engaging Cosmina together.

Sekai: "Trust your allies." She said, causing for Akame to glance back at her. "Besides, we have company."

Akame heard Ajax's radar going off as both her and Sekai stood back to back, with them suddenly being be surrounded by four of humanoid, muscular figures holding katanas.

Akame's thoughts: "These guys... are they the ones who rampaged through the Imperial Capital earlier...? No.. something about them is different.."

Slowly, both her and Sekai got into stances, Scythe and giant Scissors in hands. Next was Leone who landed behind Dorothea, her grin ever present.

Leone: "Oh.. so you've noticed? Looks like everyone's paired up. Wanna be my dance partner?" the female scientist turned round and looked at her

Dorothea: "You didn't say please..." A laugh escaped Lieselotte's lips as she licked her lips and stood on the behind her before she grinned a bit maliciously with dark magic wings bursting from her back.

Lieselotte: "No fair Leone, I wanted to dance with her first~"

Leone: "Should have said that blonde witch~"

Dorothea: "Is no one really going to say please...? You young people are both so rude." She said with a pout as she put her hand on her hips.

Back with Dairoku and Izou, they both had a samurai-style standoff, with Izou particularly admiring Yoake, who's aura was as ominous and strong as ever.

Izou: "So that is the Zodiac, Yoake... I see.. such a treacherous, ominous beauty. But... the brilliance of this Kousetsu, is many degrees greater. Allow me,, to show proof of that." He unsheathed his blade. "Yes... I know Kousetsu.. Apparently the blood of Night Raid is a rare treat indeed... Kousetsu is telling me that he desires to drink it."

Athena: "Ugh.. I swear he's delusional or something... That 'Kousetsu' isn't even a Teigu or Zodiac..." Dairoku just said nothing as his armored eyes glowed before he slowly got into a stance with him holding Yoake in a reverse grip.

Dairoku (Barbatos): "I'm really starting to get tired of monologues... Let's just kill him already." He said in a bored tone, with Yoake's threatening aura pulsing out as it howled for Izou's delusional blood.

In an instant, Dairoku as blitzed towards the swordsman moving at hyper speeds thanks to Barbatos' thrusters in the back of its armor. Upon closing in, Dairoku made an upwards slash, to which Izou countered with a downwards slash, the force being enough for Yoake's blade to bounce off, leaving Dairoku wide open. Swiftly, Izou made a slash which in his eyes, completely sliced the Death's Harbinger in half. He slowly grinned, however reality wasn't as kind to him as all Dairoku suffered, was a small scratch to the abdomen area around his armor. Izou became alarmed as Dairoku charged him again. The swordsman made another slash towards him, only for the armored vampire to slide under it and shove Yoake's blade right through his back. Izou yelled out in pain as he coughed up blood before falling over, going limp.

Dairoku (Barbatos): "If you really think such a simple katana would be able to cut through a Zodiac-Armor, then you're more delusional than I thought."

Izou: "For you to suddenly turn the tables on my prediction of your strike... D-Death's Harbinger.." He slowly held up Kousetsu to him. "Take it... with your skill, Kousetsu will be able to drink to his heart's content..." However, the response he got was Dairoku transforming Yoake into its scythe form and making another swift slash to the back of his neck. "H-How could you... betray the last request of a fellow swordsman...!?"

Dairoku (Barbatos): "Hmph. In case you've forgotten, Death's Harbinger doesn't play fair. Neither I or DEATH could care less about your swordsmanship."

He said as Yoake glowed, absorbing the blood stained on its blade with Dairoku leaning against the scythe, seemingly weakened.

Athena: "Partner, not only are you fighting DEATH'S influence, you haven't drank any blood since you got out of the execution. You should take a breather before your life force fully extinguishes itself."

Dairoku (Barbatos): "I'll... be fine, Athena... Besides.. I can't rest in this situation..."

Athena said nothing, but it was clear she was concerned for her partner's well being. Back to the battle, Leone and Lieselotte faced off against Dorothea together, with the female scientist grinning.

Dorothea: "Oh, I can only imagine the taste of your blood, Lieselotte.. The blood of a witch~" She said, licking her vampiric Teigu teeth to Lieselotte's direction.

Lieselotte: "I'll pass~ Only Dai-Kun can drink my blood~" She said with a wink. Dorothea just stuck her tongue out before she turned to Leone, she simply smirked.

Dorothea: "Shame. I can't say the same for you, through. Such a shame I ended up with you as one of my opponents. Your blood probably reeks like an animal." That ticked off the lioness who grinned angrily as she cracked her knuckles, with Lieselotte sweat dropping.

Lieselotte: "Oh boy..."

Leone: "Looks like this little kid needs to be thought some manners.."
