"Magma Drive!" Bols aimed at Akame since she was falling down from Kurome's attack. He fired but Incursio was able to get Akame away. The Danger Beast blasted a huge beam destroying the place but didn't hit one Night Raid member. Bols and I went for Akame but every time he made an attack, she dodged it with ease. Bols was taking care of long range and I took care of short range. Bols was almost hit on the back but I deflected the attack from Akame who jumped towards the back. She circled us but Bols aimed randomly and fired. She stopped and dashed back at us. I ran in front to cut down her attack but she slid under me and went for Bols. Bols had metal plates on his wrists so he was able to block her attack. He countered it but she flipped and back away for a sec. then Bols spoke. "May I ask you one thing? Akame, why did you join the Revolutionary Army? I would have been glad to have you as my ally." I wondered that as well but I knew she would never tell me.

"Because I knew in my heart that this was the right path." She answered. "I merely chose to walk the path I believed in."

"A straightforward explanation. Thank you. However... It is my job to incinerate you, along with your ideals!"

"I want a piece of the action! Now it's two against two." Leone jumped from above, into the scene. She lost an arm though, that just shows that Kurome's doing fine. Leo jumped in out of nowhere as well and dashed towards me. I was off guard and battled Leo far away from Bols.

"Sad, you're not fighting me at full strength." He sighed.

I laughed,"sorry, out of blood. Be happy, you're at an advantage. I'm not holding back at all." I aimed my sword at him. He gave me a devilish grin and removed his mask. What? No way! My facial expression was completely surprised. "Shocking isn't it?" He asked. "It sad that I'm fighting you of all people." It can't be... I have a...."Nice to see you again, little Sis." Brother. Ryūketsu, are you joking? He can't be my brother. "No way, but... I don't even know my own parents."

"Yeah, sorry about this." He swung his sword at me but Bols jumped in the way countering the attack. "You ok?" He asked. I didn't answer. I was too surprised to what I just found. "Stab me."

"What?" Everyone screamed.

"You need the blood and getting a cut from Night Raid isn't gonna be easy." I hesitated to do so. "Just do it!" His words made me react so I stabbed him without thinking. I regained my blood and had enough power to face Leo again. Bols kept it up with Akame and Leone so I held off my... brother. Suddenly in the middle of my battle a huge explosion blew so my sword turned into a shield and...

"That intense blast was Rubicante's self-destruct. With Bols down, we'll need to withdraw." I opened my eyes seeing Kurome in the arms of her Puppet Corpse. "I wonder what's happened to Sis." Kurome.... got me out of there. I heard rustling far in the forest so without telling Kurome, I went to investigate. A sword was thrown pass me when I reached the deep end. I tripped over a tree branch since I wasn't looking down, where I was going. I looked up since I saw a tall male shadow in front of me.

I sat there looking at the taller male's eyes that are full of hate and regret. I honestly don't want to do this too but ... an order's an order. "Leo ... I believe we're enemies now. I do not wish to fight you but ... an order is an order. Please forgive me for this." I clutched my sword tightly as I dashed at full speed towards the male, he dodged quickly and took out his sword that was stuck in the tree.

"Well, well, well ... Little sister that was some speech you said there. "An order is an order?" Really? Is that all you've got to say?" He strikes his sword down but I used mine to block his attack. He was much stronger than I thought, I couldn't help but feel weak and useless.

"No I can't give up! You and your friends there killed too many innocent people. The citizens need me, they want you dead!" An adrenaline rushes through my body like a lightning bolt and pierces my souls with a large amount of power caused Leo to retreat his attack.

"J-Jan?! When did you become this strong?" The male stood there shocked as he felt a strong piercing pain in his chest. I had went straight for his heart as I retract the sword from his bleeding body.

"I'm sorry Leo ... But what's needed to be done... Is done." As I retract the sword from Leo's corpse, he smiled happily and managed to say his final words.

"J-Jan... I'm so proud of you... Little sis... Ugh!" The male dropped to the floor dead with the blood pouring out from his corpses. I fell to my knees and sat there, crying silently.

"I'm sorry Leo ... I didn't really want to do it..." I walked away back to the castle wiping away my tears. Just then, I felt a pang of pain coming from my neck.

"The person you just saw is of course your brother. I'm sorry but he wanted to say that he has always loved you and always will love you. But he's on a different side now. You did not kill him, it was an illusion I made to make you think that you won. Your brother is still alive." Chelsea took out the pin she stabbed into my neck making me faint to the ground. "This is what you deserve for killing innocent people all the time." I heard her footsteps slowly walk away. "3 down, mission complete", I heard those words coming from Chelsea making me burst full of anger. I stood up and stabbed her in the back breathing heavily. "What? How can this be? That pin's Venom kills straight away!"

"Ha, this is why you keep ... your trump card a secret! It's one of my many trump cards, actually. I can stay alive after a dead end but I'll be in critical condition." I held up her up by her neck and asked,"What did you mean by 3 down?"

"I already killed your friends Bols and Kurome. You can't do anything about it!" That made me become insane, I stabbed her in the heart as much as I could. After that, I made a capsule and cut off her head placing it in there. I turned around seeing Kurome's corpse puppets, that means .... she's ALIVE! I started walking back, holding onto my injuries but then ...... I saw something terrifying.

"Kurome! *coughs out blood* I'll get you back!" I saw Kurome on the floor, guarded by her corpse puppets. I took out my Imperial Arm, used my blood and made a small carriage, big enough for Kurome to lay down on. I held the ropes and started running back to the Jaegurs.
