Chapter 3: Watch the shadows
It's the middle of the night ad we see a Eagle flying through the sky and soon dives down only to pull up to scout out a massive factory as the Eagle look down to see children being enslaved as they are focused to work on weapons for the empire and other things. The Eagle fly around the factory for a while before leaving the area.
It fly down and then land on Y/n's arm as we see him on the edge of the cliff and looking at the veiw of the factory as he bend down and glares at the place like a Predator.
Lubbock: Looks big. You sure you got this?
Then Lubbock came up next to him as he kneel down next to him as Y/n tells him.
Y/n: I'll be fine. This general can't hide from me.
Leone: (smirk) Aren't you sexxy having a serious voice.
Then Leone's breast is placed on Y/n's head while she stood over him and then stood next to him.
Leome: (smirk) Can't wait to see what you can do. Go out there!
Y/n: (stood up) I won't fail.
Then he leaps off the cliff, surprising the two as Y/n dives through the trees as he catches a tree branch as he was sent launching as he fire a grapple to swing over and lands on a tree branch and jumps to tree branches to tree branches as he moves towards the factory.
Lubbock: (mutter) Show off.
Leone: (smirk) Your just jealous how cool he is.
Lubbock: Whatever. Besides I have a feeling I'm gonna hate this guy.
Leone: (smirk) Well I have a feeling I'm gonna love this guy.
(Later)
Y/n is seen blending into the darkness of the trees as he is at the walls of the factory as he noticed a groups of imperial knights throwing down the dead bodies of children and dug them up. Anger by this, Y/n waited for them to go back inside of the factory and once they were gone Y/n grapple his way over the wall.
He then leap off the wall and land behind some rail cart as he poke his head out to see guards patrolling outside od the factory. He needed a distraction so when he noticed two empire knights approaching the group of guards, he loaded up his poison dart, takes aim and fire.
Hitting the guard in the leg as he slowly started to feel sick and then collapse onto the floor. The other guards spotted this and rush over to see what is going on while Y/n races towards the building and fire a grapple to a open window as he climb up the wall and slide himself through the window.
He lands on the walkway as he look down to see a lot of children being forced to work as some being whipped to have their work to go faster.
Y/n sees all of this then he quickly hide into the shadow as a guard was on the walkway that he is on. He then walk up in front of him and then stop, then Y/n grabbed him as he cover his mouth and stabbed him in the neck with his hidden blade. The guard dies as he slide him somewhere out of sight and then fire grapple to the metal bars above the whole inner factory as once there he look down, watching every movement from the live forms deblow him.
Then he spotted the general on the second floor as he is looking down at the progress and then going back inside of his quarters. Once that he make his way towards his location as he walk through the metal bars and then he leaps off as he fire a grapple to catch the metal bars that slow his fall and then he land gently onto the roof without any noise.
There was a nearby window ceiling that he can look into so he looks through the window ceiling and spotted the general hitting a child that he took to relief his stress which made him laugh when he sees the child crying.
This anger's Y/n and decided to mess with him as he turn and noticed large metal buckets filled with lava that is over some guards and in a safe distance away from the children.
He pulled out his knives, takes aim and throws them to each and singal chains that snapped and drop the buckets towards the ground. Crushing the guards or being burned by the lava as the children see this and runs towards the exit.
The guards noticed this and try to stop them but quickly and stealthy he took out the guards without them knowing as he took them down on the walkway and then leap off as he stabbed the guard in the neck and then quickly throw his knife towards the last guard that stabbed him in the neck, killing him immediately as Y/n punches the button that opens the doors and releases the children from their nightmare.
Soon the general came out and see all the chaos that is going on and is shocked and demands to know what happened. He turn only to see Y/n quickly rush towards him as he was about to pull out his sword but it was too late as he quickly slit his throat with his hidden blade.
He gasp for air as he grab his bleeding neck as he let out a few gasp before fallen off the second floor and land hard onto the floor as he bleed out and died. Y/n look down at his dead body and walk inside to search for the child from earlier. Soon he noticed feet under the bed so he walks over and kneel down to see the child underneath he bed.
At first he was scared seeing Y/n but Y/n tells him.
Y/n: Do not be afraid. You are safe. The bad man will not harm you anymore.
He reach his hand to the child which he take his hand and we then see him carrying the child outside with the other children as he place the children onto down with the rest. Once that all the children leave the factory as Y/n watch them go and once otut of sight he leaves to return back to base.
(Next day)
At the Night Raid base Y/n is stood in front of Najenda who is surprise how well he did on his first mission as a member of the night raid with Lubbock and Leone behind him.
Lubbock: He got lucky.
Leone: (smirk) More like badass skills. Your a master at this.
Y/n: Thank you.
Najenda: (smile) Indeed. Not only you took down the general but free the enslaved children. I bet the capital will be confused on how their weapons are not been delivered for the past few weeks.
Y/n: If I may ask you ma'am, what will happen to the children?
Najenda: The Revolutionary Army will take care od the children and place them in a safe orphanage where they will be safe. (Smile) You should be proud of yourself you know, the mission I give was kinda hard but you successfully completed it without any mess ups.
Y/n: (bow) Thank you ma'am.
Najenda: (smile) Get some rest now and again, Welcome to Night Raid.
(Short while later)
We see Y/n in the kitchen with Leone, Akame, Bulat and Sheele. Y/n is eating a small meal as he looks over to see Akame and Leone are eating some large meat which he would suspect to Leone but a bit surprise to Akame.
Bulat: (smile) That was a impressive mission you did. You are a very skilled assassin.
Y/n: Thank you. I was trained to be the best.
Bulat: (smirk) Oh really? Wonder what else you can show me?
Y/n:.......What?
Sheele: Bulat you creeping him out.
Bulat: (chuckle) My apologies.
Sheele: (smile) Still it's a sad that you were framed from something you didn't do. But don't you worry, no matter what happens we're always on your sight.
Y/n: (small smile) Thank you. So tell me. What were your lives before joining Night Raid?
Bulat: (smile) Well I used to be apart od the empire military and I was a powerful warrior with Incrursio. But after some questionable things, i left to join Night Raid.
Sheele: I was grown up in a low district of the capital. I'm kinda clumsy which result to people throughout my life to call me useless and i was isolated from everyone. I used to have a friend but was killed.
Y/n: My apologies for your lost.
Sheele: (smile) It's alright.
Leone: (smirk) Wanna hear my story?
Y/n: Um sure?
Leone: (smirk) Well I was a badass Revolutionary army scout. I was soo cool and awesome by everyone in the army. I even save soke children from soke nobles who were abusing them, you know rich people things.
Y/n: I see. (Turn to Akame) And you?
Akame doesn't say anything but continues eating which Sheele tells Y/n.
Sheele: She's not a type to talk about her past but the short version is that she used to have a sister but she disappeared many years ago before joining Night Raid.
Y/n: I see, it must be sad to be separated with a sibling.
Sheele: Indeed. Say what about your story? Whst were you like before becoming an assassin.
Y/n: Not too sure. I have no memory of my childhood nor my town. Sometimes it's probably best to forget the past.
Bulat: That's rough.
Sheele: (smile) Well that's okay. Not all of us can't reveal too much about our past.
Y/n: True. Guess your right.
Sheele smile as Y/n continue eating his food and after that enter his room that he was given and once there he sat down on the bed and stared at the wall in front of him. He thinks to himself for a minute before turning to the draw and opening it up and pulling out the Apple of Eden as he stared at the relic.
Then it started to glow which surprised him and then it shoot out a beam towards the ceiling, revealing ancient symbols and drawings of what looks like it is telling a story.
He watched in amazement as it shows mysterious drawings of figures dressed up like assassin's as he released that there are assassin's from the past, showing the past of all of these assassin's and all the things they have done.
This keep going for sometime until the Apple of Eden shuts off as Y/n look at the relic, seeing it is telling Y/n something important as he wish to study it more as best he can. He then place the Apple of Eden back to his drew and took off all of his clothes and go inside the shower that is connect to his room.
He takes a shower as we can see scars on his body, reminding Y/n the day he was framed as he place his hand onto the wall and stared at the floor that the water is being drained in as he knows that he will find the real killer and get his revenge.
He close of his with determination as he get himself cleaned and after that climbs into bed and get some sleep so he can be ready for another mission for the Night Raids tomorrow morning.
