Leone's scream of agony can be heard in the area, this caught my attention and I look at her to see her arm getting cut off by Kurome with her Yatsufusa. Seeing this made me furious, but I stopped my urge to go all out or it might make things messier.

"Leone!" I yelled.

"Don't worry! I got this." She stated and began to stop the bleeding from her arm.

"That's some impressive regeneration skill you have there. This makes the battle all the more enjoyable!" Kurome smiled.

"I'll get you for this you little punk." Leone said.

"I'd like to see you try." She responded.

Knowing that Leone doesn't want me to interfere with their battle as well as the rest, I then decided that I should help Mine. Because seeing her getting trapped by a giant frog's slimy, long tongue, she really needs it. I dashed toward to them and sliced off the tongue before catching Mine in my arms. Some parts of her clothes were slimey, but I'm fine with it.

"You can thank me later." I said.

"Yeah, yeah, can you put me down now?" She asked with her arms crossed and a slight pink shade on her cheeks.

I placed her down on the ground like what she said and got into a stance.

"Let me take care of this for you." I said holding the hilt of my sword.

I run towards the giant frog and sliced it's body in half in a moment. After I finish, I gaze at Kurome who was looking at me in amazement.

"Impressive. Now I want to battle you right now, but that will have to wait." She said.

"We can fight now if you want." I said to her.

"Nah, it's better if we do it later." She said before walking away with her bodyguard.

"Mine, I'll go help Bulat and the others while you do your thing. Try not to get eaten again, got it?" I told her.

"You don't need to tell me what to do okay!" She glares at me.

I gave her a wave before joining the battlefield again. I stood beside Bulat then tackled the enemy he is facing and cut it in half, looking back at Bulat he gives me a thumbs up and from behind his armor, he is smiling at me.

"So that's most of them, huh? Dealing with the Jaegers should be a lot more easier now." I said.

"We should hurry and help the others as well." Sheele stated.

"If we manage to capture those two, we'll make the rest of the members put their whole attention on us." I said.

"Capture?" Sheele looked at me in confusion.

"Yes, capture. We'll keep ahold of them until our next encounter with the other Jaegers." I said.

"What should we even do to them while they're held hostage?" Bulat asked.

"Nothing, we only keep them for the time being, interrogating them to get some informations about what's going on in the Empire." I explained.

"I see, the question is, will Boss approve of this? Our main mission here is to kill the enemies, not capture them." He asked.

"I know. But I'll try and convince her." I said.

Suddenly, I could see something glowing bright in the distance. I thought it was something but it turns out it's going to explode, I grabbed Sheele and block her from the explosion and waited for it to stop. After a moment, I looked at Sheele and saw that she's fine. I felt immediately tired due to taking this form for too long, so I deactivated it. Only five times left of using it then it's over.

"What was that explosion?" Bulat questioned.

"Not sure, but it might be the enemies' doing. Hey Bulat, I'm going to go in the forest to search for them." I said.

"Hey you guys, Boss said we should fall back and head to our hideout." Mine said.

"You guys go ahead, I'm going to the forest." I said walking away.

"Boss told us that and we must obey it." She said.

"I'm going to find them, just wait for me in the hideout." I said.

"I'm coming with you." Sheele said.

"No, stay with them I'll be back later."

"I don't want to, I'm going to help you find them." She said.

"All right then, come on." I said.

The two of us now arrived in the forest, about to search for the two members of the Jaegers. Sheele had told me she will find Bols so I decided to go find Kurome and we split up. As I run around, I suddenly felt something, as if something bad will happen in the future. I just brushed it off and continue searching.

I stopped running and just decided to walk in order to not alert them. Behind a few trees I heard someone, quietly sneaking up on them, I saw that it was Kurome. I was about to make her unconscious but I realized that she was struggling, for what? So I observed her further and found out that she's trying to get one of those drugs beside her and swallow it.

Not wasting any more time, I grabbed those drugs and gave her one. But she didn't take it and only looked at me out of shock.

"Take it and swallow it, or your condition might get worse." I said to her.

She suddenly stood up from where she was sitting and took a few steps back.

"Stay away from me or I'll kill you." She warned me while still struggling.

"You can't though, seeing as I'm holding your Teigu and you're currently in pain." I said.

She had her eyes wide and was about to run away from me only for her to fall on the ground. I walked closer to her and handed her the drug, she was hesitating on taking it so she looked at me.

"Why are you doing this? Of all the people you're helping, why the enemy?" She asked.

"I don't see you as an enemy nor the other members of the Jaegers. There's only a few in this world that I see as my enemy." I explained.

"No matter what you say, we're still enemies. You and my sister turned your backs on the Empire, so it's only right to kill you two." She said.

"So killing your own beloved sister over some trash Empire that no one cares about you? You need to think what's around you, now I want you to take this drug and swallow it then we'll talk further." I said.

She then glared at me but listened, taking the drug and swallowing it, she then sighed.

"I still don't understand who you are." She said out of the blue before going unconscious.

"I'm a Master of Silence. That's all you need to know for now." I said as I pick her up along with her stuff before walking back to the hideout.

I started to head my way through the forest back to our hideout. While on the way there, I saw another person, leaning against a tree. Observing them closely, I realized it was Bols. He then noticed me and I could tell he is shocked at me holding Kurome.

"What are you going to do with her? Let her go before-" I cut him off.

"Before what? It's obvious that you don't have any weapons on you and the only weapon you brought was your Teigu, and let's see, you also don't have it." I said.

He was utterly speechless of this and saw his hands turning into fist.

"Come with me, I'll take you two to our hideout." I said walking away.

"What?" He was confused.

"Don't worry, we aren't going to kill you two. Trust me." I said.

I continue to walk and a moment later, I could hear some footsteps behind me. Good thing he trusts me, seeing as I'm his enemy. But that doesn't matter anymore. About a few more minutes, we arrived at our hideout, we entered inside and the moment the others saw up, they were in complete shock.

"You brought them here?!" Mine looks at me in disbelief.

"I'm not planning on killing them, so this may be selfish of me but please keep them alive." I said.

"What happened to Kurome?" Akame asked, worried of her sister.

"Don't worry she's only unconscious." I then gave Kurome to her.

"Anyway, where are Chelsea and Sheele?" Mine asked.

"Wait, they aren't here yet?" I asked.

"No they still might be in the forest." Lubbock said.

"I'm going to find them, I'll be back." I said as I sprint out of the hideout.

There I was once again, running around the area in hopes of finding Chelsea and Sheele. I regretted ever letting Sheele come with me, I hate myself for putting her in danger. I will only hope that she's all right. After going all around the place, it was no avail, I couldn't find them. I took off my mask and then punched a tree out of frustration, I can't believe that I let this happen.

Where are they?

........................

"Vlad.. where are Kurome and Bols?" Wave asked the hooded man.

"I'm not sure myself, they're probably killed or just went missing." He responded.

"What?! We have to find them or else-"

"Don't, you might only get into trouble. Besides, I have these two coming from Night Raid itself." He gestures behind him.

Wave looks behind Vlad and had his eyes widen from shock, it was Chelsea and Sheele standing behind him. Their face expressionless and eyes dull.

"Why are they here?" Wave asked.

"I've taken control over them. They won't attack us and will only listen to me. If our comrades were taken away from us then we'll take away theirs as well." Vlad said.
