It has been a few days since they had met Night Raid. And needless to say...it has gotten...interesting for everyone...to say the least. The training of Jaune, Coco, Velvet, and the Fayon siblings...well, let's say that they are improving way more than before. Jaune is now attacking with much modes speed and ferocity than before, Coco is now way more skilled in her shooting than she had done before, Velvet has learned way more fighting styles, due to seeing the videos of the members of Night Raid, the enemies they had fought, and seeing Sheele's way of fighting, and the Fayon siblings, they are actually improving on their hand to hand combat than they had done.

Also...Sans had made a pretty quick friendship with Akame, Leone, and Sheele rather unexpectedly, and is always helpful and kind to them, and has even smiled to them, although, he smiles almost every time, so it really isn't that much of a new thing for Sans himself. Although...Sans also didn't notice them blushing at some point when the third day came. They stilled acted like their usual selves, other than their faces turning red when they see Sans, but...on the 4th day...they began to act rather...strange. They began to act unlike how they are usually behaving. Sheele once appeared on the bed with Sans, when he didn't realize it. And needless to say, he was caught by surprise, as he never thought that it was going to happen. Leone also, for some reason, licked his ear,

and Sans kind of freaked out at what Leone had just did, with Leone acting like nothing happened, and Akame...unbeknownst to Sans...Akame would be staring at him...while also being unable to identifying the strange feeling in her very heart, and at times...she would be gravitating towards him, and Sans does not even realize what Akame is even doing.

The problem for Sans is that...Akame and Leone...they remind him so much of Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna, which made trying to socialize with them a little difficult. In fact...he does not know what to say to them, and in fact, just treats them like friends, and because of that, he did not pay attention to their strange attitude towards himself. And even Akame has no idea why he is not feeling the same way to her. Which is why she is going too have a talk with Sans when it is nighttime. For now, they are going to have to be outside, for they need to see the results of the training that everyone has recieved. But it is going to be split into 2 groups. The ones that shoots are going with Mine, while the weapons/melee combat people are going with Akame, Kurome, Leone, and Sheele. As Coco and Cinder are the only shooters, they are going with amine, although Cinder can use her Swords, and the rest are Melee combatants, even though Velvet can make copies of ranged weapons, and is only a melee combatant most of the time.

Later...

Sans is now outside with Jaune Arc, Velvet Scarlatina, Atla and Fohl Fayon, Tatsumi, Wave, Akame, Leone, and Sheele. They are walking way more deeper into the forest, as they are looking for a perfect spot to try and see where they can test the results of the training that they had done to the group. Sans and the others looked around the rocky area that they are in, as Sans closed his eyes to sense the creatures that are living here, which Night Raid has called, the Danger Beasts. And...they almost sound like the Grimm, except that they are way more powerful than that. So much that some of the body parts of some different Danger Beasts are even used to make some Teigu.

Sans looks around, and feels a bit uneasy about what he is seeing, as he is not sure if what they are going to is safe for them to be in. Jaune and Velvet are feeling the same, but they are trying all that they can to pull up a brave fade. Atla and Fohl, on the other hand, are not afraid of what they are going through, and are continuing to move without any form of worry facially present. The others, from Night Raid...are not that afraid, and in fact, they are very confident about being able to fight, and are fast for whatever surprise awaits them all.

"Okay, we're almost to the area that we want to go. So everyone, just keep on going, and do not stop."

Leone spoke out, as everyone else nodded. Sans looks around, and he saws a very, peculiar looking tree right in the middle of nowhere. Sans was a little uneasy about the sight of it, and took a little step back from the large tree. As he continued on...he feels like something is about to grab at his feet...and...as if on instinct...one of his Scarves grabbed onto what it was that had tried to yank his leg. Sans looks down...and saw that a branch is moving, and it is trying to grab into Sans' leg, only to fail miserably. Sans looks up at the tree, and he spoke out.

"That can't be good."

As soon as he said that, everyone looked, and Sans saw that the tree began to change, as a single eye and mouth formed from the trunk.

Sans than extended his hand, and fired a Gaster Abyss Blaster at the tree, destroying it. But the sound of the Blaster's firing lead to more roads being heard. Jaune Arc than looks around, as he began to speak out his words, a little nervously.

"Why do I have a feeling that this is not what was supposed to happen?"

Sans blinks, before speaking out.

"You have got to me kidding me. This is part of the training, right?"

He spoke out...only to met with silence.

"This isn't part of it."

Tataumi spoke out.

"Unfortunately, no. Looks like we are now in the middle of a massive Danger Beast nest of some kind."

Sans' eyes twitched a bit, as he cannot believe his luck. Velvet than grabs ahold of his hand in a comforting manner, and Sans calms down a bit, before he spoke out.

"So...we are gonna fight against them, right?"

Wave turns around and nodded.

"Right."

Sans sighed, before he spoke out.

"Than let's get this over with, shall we?"

Leone laughed, as she than spoke out.

"Thought you'd never ask."

Both Tatsumi and Wave than shouted out at the top of their very lungs.

"INCURSIO!!!!!!!"

"GRAND CHARIOT!!!!!!"

Than, the visage of armored Dragons appeared from behind both Tatsumi and Wave, as they activate their Teigu. Chains began to surround the users of the Teigu, as the glowing of Red and Blue appear on both of them.

Than...when they disappeared...and a blinding flash of light happened out of the transformation afterwords...their armored forms are revealed, and they are incredible.

Needless to say, Sans and many of the others are incredibly amazed by what they are seeing right now. Both of these armors are incredibly cool, and they have no words at what to say about it.

They than looked at the Danger Beasts that are charging at them, and spoke out.

"Let's go Wave."

Tataumi spoke out, before Wave nodding his head calmly, as he spoke out.

"Right behind you."

Tataumi and Wave charged at the Danger Beasts through the armor Teigu that they both have, before they took out their Spears, and sliced them into pierces, together. And as soon as they cut down a bunch of the Danger Beasts, Akame, Kurome, Leone, and Sheele charged in as well. Sans, Velvet, the Fayon siblings, and Jaune, the rest came charging in the last. As Jaune charged forward, he saw that a large Danger Beast in the form of a Centipede erupt from the ground in front of him.

Jaune, stopped, as he was afraid of what was about to happen next. But he than shook the feeling away, as he charges in with his sword, and gets ready to strike at it. The centipede attempted to attack first, but it was already too late.

Jaune sliced the large Ceintipede into 2 halves, and that was all it had taken, to kill it. And usually, it would take more than that, but thanks to the training, he more deadlier. When another Danger Beast attempted to attack him from behind, Jaune jumped up in the air, and sliced the head off of the neck of the Danger Beast at a very quick pace. Not as fast as Akame, but it is still very fast, regardless.

Kurome uses her sword, Yatsufusa, to raise up the corpses of humans from the ground, for her to command and to fight alongside her allies. The undead puppets charged at the Danger Beasts attacking everyone. And while the Corpse Puppets and the Danger Beasts fight against each other, Atla and Fohl rushed forward and began to do whatever they can to attack the Danger Beasts. Thanks to their training with Leone, they now have developed some of combative prowess. Their punch, their kick, their uppercut, they all become immensely deadly. Although Fohl is still weaker than is younger sister, Atla, he is now closer to her power than before, as both have an increase in strength. Bodies explode, blood rains everywhere, and both shrieks and roars of agony echo everywhere. Leone also is beginning to punch down the Danger Beasts as brutally as she could with her fists, as blood and eyes began to splatter everywhere, while also kicking and thrashing around the Danger Beasts like they are rag dolls.

Akame used Murasane to slice the head of a Danger Beast in half, and Sans could even see parts of the spine, or, maybe Sans is seeing the neck, and Velvet was briefly grossed out by what she had to see before her very eyes. It was one thing to kill Grimm in a brutal fashion. It was another, to kill something that is truly organic, and not simply a being that is made out of nothing but shadows and a white mask for a face. But Velvet immediately steels herself a little bit and becomes braver, before she uses Anesidora to summon her first weapon...which turns into what everyone would least expect: Cross Tail.

She extended the hardlight strings, and began to mimic some of Lubbock's movements, and even used his art in creativity to make a Lance of hardlight, before flinging it at the humanoid Danger Beasts, which everyone is attacking right now.

She than switched to a new weapon copy, Extase, and began to mimic Sheele's movements by slicing, and cutting in a scissor-like fashion, except that she is using it with both of her hands instead of just 2-3 of her fingers. She spun the copy of Extase in the air, and cuts the Danger Beasts up like she is carving up for a Thanksgiving turkey. She than grabs both of the handles of the copy, before she closes the blades on them, slicing open the neck of one of the humanoid Danger Beasts. Blood began to squirt out of the neck, as the Danger Beats fell down to the ground. She than switched to a the last copy, Pumpkin, and she began to fire at the Danger Beasts with its Machine Gun custom. The hardlight bullets went through the heads of the Danger Beasts like they are actual bullets, and many of them have dropped dead upon the Danger Beasts being shot in the head by the copy of Pumpkin. She than switched to a new weapon, which was of the Gauntlets, Adramelech, and she made hardlight constructs of electricity, somehow, and used it to copy the skill set of the previous owner of Adramelech, who was also an enemy that Night Raid had killed at sometime in the past.

The Hardlight Electricity sparked and struck many of the Danger Beasts, before she used Adramelech to make a power beam of electricity, which got rid of the rest of the Humanoid Damher Beasts that are attacking the group.

The Danger Beasts are killed by a copy of Adramelech's Trump Card, Solid Shooter, although...Velvet's weapon cannot copy all of the trump cards, and can only copy some of them. After the blast settled, and Sans took care of the last Danger Beast...they looked and saw how much damaged that they have caused with just their battle alone. Sans looks around, and spoke out.

"Huh...I guess the training finally paid off."

Everyone turned and nodded at Sans, as Akame spoke out.

"Regardless, it was an amazing set of skills that you all had done. We will continue with the training, but for now, let us leave, before more of the Danger Beasts arrive to try and kill us all."

Everyone agreed with what Akame said, and the all ran as fast as they can out of here, so that they do not have a run-in with another Danger Beast, as they already have had enough for one day.

'Just what kind of mess did we get ourselves into?'

Sans spoke out, as he and the others ran as fast as they could...away from the godforsaken place that they do not want to get back in. Sans just hopes that they will not have to go through a place as dangerous as this ever again.

At Nighttime...

Sans is now on his bed, as he noting about the training and the amount of Danger Beasts that the group had to encounter from before. Coco Adel and Cinder were actually able to do very well in the fight against their own Danger Beasts, who had also decided to invade their testing. Though...they did get somewhat injured, which left Asia to try and heal them with her Twilight Healing. Other than that, though...Coco and Cinder all completely alright. Sans closed his eyes, as he thought to himself in his head.

'Our group may have trained...but will it really make us prepare for the real thing? I don't know. I'm just hoping that this is in fact the case.'

Sans shook his head, before he looked out the window, and he sees the starry night sky. Decide to do some stargazing for a little but, he decides to go outside and see the beauty of the night and the stars that are twinkling above the heads of everyone that are sleeping. Sans stood up, quietly opens and closes the door, before he got outside, and began to walk to a random location that would suit as his spot where he can stargaze. After about a couple of minutes, he was able to find a spot that he wanted to go to, one with a perfect and clear view of the night sky. And there is a large slab of rock that Sans could sit on. Sans walks up to the rock, and than sits on top of it. He began to swing his legs, as they dangle off of the ground, while he looks at the sky's immense beauty. He simply could not get enough of this. He wants to stare at the night sky forever, marveling at the eternal beauty of it. He could not stop looking at it, in fact, he dies nit know if he can ever stop looking at it.

As Sans looks up at the sky, he than hears a voice coming from behind him.

"Sans?"

Sans looks away from the sky, and turns to see who it was that had said his name out loud. He than saw that it is Akame, and she is wearing her pajamas, while also carrying Murasame with her.

Sans smiled and spoke out.

"Oh, hey, Akame. I'm just looking at how beautiful the Night Sky is."

Akame nodded, as she spoke out.

"Do you mind if I can join you?"

Sans smiled a little wider and nodded. Akame than sits on the rock alongside Sans, who is now looking back up at the sky. Akame than remembers what she wanted to do, and spoke out to Sans.

"Sans...I want to ask you about something."

Sans looks at Akame, and spoke out.

"What is it?"

Akame looks down a bit, before she looks at Sans straight in the eyes, before she than spoke out to him.

"Sans...I've noticed that, you have been acting distant from me and Leone, even though your friends say that you are kind and open to others. What is making you act so distant from the both of us?"

Sans' eyes widened, before he sighed and looked down. He should have seen that coming. But...he also knew that, it was going to happen to him sooner or later. So...with a deep breath, he than spoke out to Akame, in a sad tone.

"Sorry about that, Akame. It's just that...you remind me so much of Blake Belladonna, one of the people I had once loved in the past."

Akame's eyes widened a bit, before looking emotionless and spoke out.

"How do I remind you of her?"

Sans spoke out.

"A lot actually. only differences is that she is a Cat Faunus, has yellow eyes, a different weapon, and her style of clothing. Not to mention the fact that, she is a little bit more emotional than you, Akame."

Akame looks down, as she should have seen that sooner. But than...she realized another thing.

"Did Leone also reminded you of someone you loved, Sans?"

Sans looks up, and spoke out.

"Unfortunately, Yes. Yang Xiao along, is who she reminded me of. Only difference is that she has purple eyes that turns red, has a temper, and has a very, very aggressive fighting style. And those are the only differences that I can think of that can remind her of Yang. Honestly...it also makes trying to bond with you both a little difficult."

Akame looks down, understanding where he is coming from. The fact that both Akame and Leone reminds him so much of Yang and Blake makes it painful for him to even get close to them. Akame looks down, as she began to wonder how she can get Sans to open up to her. There is one thought that clicked inside of her mind, and it is on that feeling...that wants to control her, in order to preform the action that she wanted to do to him. She just hopes that it is enough to finally get Sans to open up to her. Her face is shadowed by her hair, as she spoke out.

"I might have a way to help you open up to me and Leone."

Sans' head perks up, before speaking out.

"Really? What is that?"

Akame was silent for a minute, and Sans believed he simply was hearing some stuff, until Akame spoke out.

"Close your eyes, and turn around to my direction. Okay?"

Sans...while a bit uneasy, closed his eyes, and turns around to where Akame is, sitting right next to him. Sans wasn't sure what Akame has in her mind...but he is going to let that slide and pet her do what she is planning.

Sans...is a little unsure of what Akame is thinking. But he did not need to wait. Because as soon as he opened his mouth to breath...

"Chu..."

Sans' eyes immediately snapped open, as he feels something on his mouth. And the breeze of wind blew what Sans was not feeling...hair...Akame's hair, and Akame was kissing him, straight up on the lips. Sans puts his hands on her shoulders, and Akame, thinking that she is trying to push her away and still is affected by the reminder of Blake, grabs him by the head and kissed him deeper. Sans did not know what to do...but...all he did...was melt into it. He does not know why...but...for some unknown reason...it...it strangely felt so...so good.

Akame's lips...they were very much different from Blake's own lips. Blake's were a little more innocent, and more pure, and yet...it is not very strong. Akame's on the other hand...is strong, but it is a somewhat impure, and her lips are hungering for Sans'. And more importantly...it is more desiring for him than Blake's, and Sans...his feeling of submission returned very suddenly...and let's her do what she wants with Sans himself, which Akame gladly decide to do.

After a minute of kissing Sans...they finally began to separate, liquid connecting each other from their tongues, as Sans is blushing immensely with what he had to experience. He than looks up, to see how Akame is reacting.

Akame blushed, as she finally gets to do what she had wanted with Sans. Now...she finally gets to show how much Sans means to her. Sans looked shocked, as he spoke out.

"Akame...what just...ahhh..."

Akame hugged Sans into her, as she spoke out.

"Isn't it obvious...Sans? I love you."

Sans' eyes widened, as his right eye glowed Turquoise, as she leaned in to kiss Sans again. Sans, while shocked she said that, since Coco, Velvet, and Cinder love him, he won't mind. But the fact that she said it even though it reminds him of Blake Belladonna, well...he feels like some part of him is finally happy again. When she kissed him, Sans, returned the feeling, and decide to push his lips back.

"I...I love you too."

Akame smiled, as Sans looked at the ground, feeling immensely happy.

But as he did.

"HEY!!! THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!! I WAS GONNA CONFESS TO HIM FIRST!!!"

A voice made both Akame and Sans jump at the volume of it, as Leone than suddenly appeared.

Than, Sans felt his body being picked up, and Sans looked to see Leone carrying him. Leone quickly kissed Sans, and Sans was unable to react. Also...he feels something...soft, touching his chest. Sans could think of only one thing, that's making this strange feeling. And it is making his face turn way more red.

Leone smirked, as Akame grabs Sans by the jacket, and pulls him away from Leone, bringing Sans back down to the ground a little gently. Sans took a step back, and he sat on the tree, as he watched Akame and Leone having an argument. But as he did...he saw purple, and it didn't take him long to realize that Sheele has also appeared in the area with them.

"Ahh, Sheele. What do you think you are-"

Than, Sheele comes down to Sand and kissed him square, right on the lips, without any warning. This made both Akame and Leone notice, and they are shocked at bathe fact that a air-headed member of Night Raid had snuck up and kissed Sans on the lips. When she is finally done kissing...Sans flopped down to the ground, fainted, with the last thing he heard being a really loud 'WHAT?!' before he became completely unconscious.
