Is This Risky?

"That's the first thing you say after making me worry about you?" Mine started shooting plasma beams around Tatsumi. "Are you trying to kill me, you idiot?" He yelled. I can't believe I'm thinking this but,'Thank you, Night Raid!' The two of them B@#ches are gone. So I can do what I want and kill Esdeath in the process. I'll go save Tatsumi first then.... suddenly some sort of DangerBeast appeared out of nowhere flying with Nagenda and her teamates in the sky. Time to help Night Raid out, I guess. I dashed towards Tatsumi but the arena started exploding making it harder for me to reach him. I dodged all of them and reached Tatsumi. I was about to cut off his chains but then Esdeath pushed me out if the way. I though she was suspicious of me and tried saving Tatsumi but she pushed me away because Mine shot a beam at me.

"Stay on track. Don't loose sight of your target." She ordered. "This is our chance to destroy Night Raid once and for all. We are considered the strongest in this country. We can defeat them. I expected more than this." I know why Mine hit me, because she's considering me as an enemy at the moment. That's fine with me. I'll show her that I can join Night Raid and do better than her. Esdeath ran off to battle the other Night Raid members giving me the opportunity to free Tatsumi.

"Stop getting into trouble!" I yelled. I realeased Tatsumi and helped him up. I smiled and announced,"from today, I'll be joining Night Raid. Now let's go help your friends out." He nodded as Akame handed Tatsumi his Imperial Arm. He caught Mine who was falling to the ground. Esdeath was right, I didn't know what was going on other than the fact of saving Tatsumi. Something's wrong with my senses.

"Mission Accomplished. All members withdraw!" Nagenda announced. Akame tapped my ahoulder and asked,"you coming?" I smiled and followed her. We ran back to the DangerBeast and I sat on it giving it a small pat. I've never done anything with DangerBeasts instead of killing them. This is a nice change.

"Su! Let me help!" Tatsumi screamed.

"Run away, Tatsumi." 

"But Su can probably...."

"He's simply pushed himself far beyond his limits. Susano's actual strength hasn't increased. There's no way he can defeat Esdeath, even in this state." Nagenda explained.

"What if I help?" I asked. "I can beat Esdeath easily-"

"No you can't." She ordered,"we are leaving. Now!"

I stood up and pulled out my sword. "I'm sorry, but anyone who attempts to kill Tatsumi must die. That's why I have to kill her. I'm gonna have to disobey your rules. I'll be back in a sec." I was about to run towards Esdeath but Nagenda held me back and pointed a knife at my neck. "W-what are you?...."

"We're taking you hostage." Because I was wielding Ryūketsu, I could tell she was lying. "We're going, now." I kept quiet the whole way after that. The way Nagenda spoke and the way she looked at me... I can tell, she hasn't been enjoying deaths one bit. We arrived at Night Raid's hideout. Everyone was so quiet. There was only 4 Night Raid members here. "Was all this just to save me? Why?" Tatsumi asked.

"Don't be so self-absorbed." Nagenda spoke. "We needed to stop the public execution to maintain the Revolutionary Army's morale. We were all prepared for what could happen."

"But still..."

"Also, we were able to eliminate Budo, who's been a thorn in our side for years. And we've gained a new member who's more powerful than all of us combined. I pointed the weapon at Jan so she wouldn't be suspicious to Esdeath. Our gains outweigh our losses." Nagenda finished.

"How can you say that?" Tatsumi yelled.

"Tatsumi, it's not like the boss isn't hurting too. She lost Susanoo, after all." (Leone)

"Don't worry about that. He simply fullfilled his mission as an Imperial Relic." (Nagenda)

"As the survivors, we carry the hopes of those who've passed away on our shoulders." Akame sighed.

"That's far too heavy a burden." (Tatsumi)

"It is. But it's not one that we can abandon lightly." (Akame)

"If we throw in the towel here, the dead won't be able to rest in peace." (Leone)

"You're right. We have to put an end to the suffering." (Tatsumi)

"You know, I thought you guys were heartless monsters who killed people for fun. Now I realise how blind I was. You guys are so lucky." I smiled. "I have to share the burden to no one. And... it's hard to accept the deaths of friends and just citizens..... I promise, I'll help you guys and put an end to all these deaths." I promise, I'll get out of this alive and live my life on as a normal person. I went into the room Night Raid landed to me and laid down on the bed. Ryūketsu turned into a red gem which was glowing very faintly. I don't have much time left. I wonder.... what will happen when  the day comes? Will everyone die before me? Why is my heart beating so fast? Is this feeling.... what it means to be scared?

I know I have no chance surviving. Especially if I'm suddenly ordered to do something, that will speed up the time by so much I'm sure that the gem will break. If the gem breaks, the spell breaks. If the spell breaks.... The DangerBeast will destroy this land once more. That's what I'm worried about most. I wonder if that DangerBeast is as dangerous as the legends. If it is... I don't think I'll make it out alive....

I'm staring at my bedroom lamp on my desk. I'm trying to turn it on using psychic like all the other psychic Pokemon. I heard from Keldeo a week ago that I was stronger than him and his friends. He said I had the ability to do whatever I want but then Virizion told him to be quiet. I couldn't understand why, that's why I can't sleep. I think there's something everyone's hiding from me. Is it because I'm only 5? I can't understand.... why am I the only one who looks different here.
