(Inside of Night Raid's Base: With Akame and Lubbock)

Akame softly grunted as she used Murasame to deflect another one of Toby's attacks. Leaping into the air, Toby tried to kick Akame, a blade extending from the bottom of his heel. But the red-eyed assassin easily dodged the attack. Akame quickly slid to the right, and slashed her blade upward, slicing Toby's right arm clean off. Toby hissed as blood sprayed from his wound, his severed arm dropping to the ground with a dull thud.

"Tch, damn it." Toby cursed, as he landed back on the ground, blood pooling at his feet.

"Hmm, it looks like one cut won't be enough to bury you..." Akame said, sliding into her fighting stance and readying Murasame, the blade seeming to glow in the pale moonlight that filled the hall. "Then I'll have to cut you down piece-by-piece. But I must warn you, it's going to hurt quite a lot, so I hope you've prepared yourself."

"Heh, it's going to 'hurt' you say?" Toby muttered, as a small smile spread across his face. Akame's grip on Murasame tightened when a blade suddenly sprouted from where Toby's right arm had been. "I don't even know what pain feels like anymore." Without another word, Toby charged towards Akame, ready to cut her down with his new blade arm. The red-eyed assassin locked blades with Toby, and struggled to overpower him. As Akame fought to push Toby back, her eyes widened when Toby's mouth opened and a small pistol sprang out.

"I have to act fast!" Akame thought, darting her head to the left just as Toby fired. The red-eyed assassin's incredible speed and reaction time paid off, as the bullet whizzed past her ear, hitting some of her hair as it blew past. "Now's the time to finish this!"

"What amazing reaction speed." Toby thought, as he stared at his opponent in awe. Akame took advantage of Toby being distracted and sliced his other arm off. Toby grit his teeth as he whipped around, another pistol appearing where his left arm had been. But Toby was surprised to see that Akame wasn't where he'd thought she'd be. Realizing his mistake, Toby quickly lowered his gaze, and spotted Akame crouched low to the ground. "From below!?" Akame attacked before Toby had a chance to even aim his weapon. Lunging forward, Akame cut Toby's left leg off, her blade easily slicing straight through flesh and bone.

"Now Lubbock!" Akame called out, noticing that the green-haired assassin had finally finished off the two larger goons. Lubbock once again quickly arranged his threads into the form of a spear and hurled the weapon, piercing straight through Toby's chest.

"You little..." Toby struggled to say, as he coughed up a mouthful of blood. "You know it's rude to interrupt someone's fight..."

"Yeah, and it was rude of you bastards to just storm into our hideout uninvited." Lubbock said with a cocky smirk, shrugging his shoulders and shoving his hands into his pockets. "I mean you guys didn't even give us a chance to tidy the place up; put out the fine china and good silverware, ya know? Besides..." Lubbock's smirk changed into a grin, as he turned to Akame. "I couldn't just sit back and watch while my friend fights."

"...Well even if we had continued fighting one-on-one..." Toby said, as he lowered his head and released a light sigh. "I probably still would have lost..." Toby then raised his head and locked eyes with Akame. "Please tell me...Akame...how was I inferior to you?"

"Your attacks were quite fierce, but..." Akame replied, slowly walking towards Toby. "You left yourself quite exposed whenever you attacked..."

"Heh...so my defense was too weak?" Toby muttered, as blood dripped from the corners of his mouth. "I suppose not feeling pain made me feel sort of invincible..." Toby lowered his head in defeat. "Well you have bested me Akame...so I will admit defeat...and allow you to finish me off."
