The Assassin Huntsman

Chapter 9: Kill the Mad Scientist

~Night Raid Hideout~
*Narrator POV*

After a night of drinks and food, with the return of Tatsumi, Night Raid either slept in their rooms, minus Lubbock who fell asleep on the couch with a bottle of alcohol in his hand, until Leon woke up while groaning from a hangover.

"Oh God..." Leone groaned as she woke up from the couch. Leone looked around at the various empty, or half-empty, bottles of alcohol scattered across the room. "We may have celebrated a little too hard last night for Tatsumi's return. On the bright side, I did have that drinking contest with Hot Stuff. Damn, he could drink, but not as much as me though."

Leone gets up and steps over Tatsumi who's eyes were whited out and snoring on the floor.

"Guess we all crashed out here," Leone adds while walking out towards the spring. However not noticing (Y/N) around. "Huh? Where is he? Oh, right. Akame and Mine helped him to his room. Damn... I was going to have him join me in the baths."

With Leone's slight disappointment, she got over the missed opportunity and went towards the baths.

"*yawning* Sleepy, sleepy..." Leone groggily says and walks towards the bath and showers her face with the steamy water until she felt something off. "Huh?"

Leone's reflection in the water caught her off guard, with a bit of her hangover still in effect, as it changed into an unknown person who had an evil giggle. Leone, still caught off guard, was attacked by one of Dr. Stylish's "creations," Trauma, who attacked Leone with one attack.

"I've done it, Master Stylish!" Trauma yells with glee while Leone falls into the baths. "Your trusty assistant, Trauma, has done iiiiit!"

With Dr. Stylish and the rest of Team Stylish on a ledge at a distance near Night Raid's Hideout.

"Good work, now let's continue the mission," Mimi, a member of Team Stylish with abnormally large ears. She turns over to Dr. Stylish. "He got the first one, Doctor Stylish."

"Marvelous!" Dr. Stylish says with some glee. "That's my little knight in shining armor, flying straight into enemy headquarters. All right... Go, Beautiful Team Stylish!"

From the forest behind Team Stylish, a horde of masked men in... questionable attire... emerged from the forest and pressed their attack on Night Raid's Hideout.

"The Dapper Offensive is officially underway!" Dr. Stylish proclaims as his merry group of soldiers attack and with quick reaction and maneuverability, made their way inside Night Raid's Hideout.

"The soldiers have made their way into Night Raid's base." Me, or Eyes, another member of Team Stylish with enhanced eyes for long distanced recon. 

"Ah, lets the show begin!" Dr. Stylish says while getting excited. "I'm tingling with anticipation!"

Meanwhile within Night Raid's Hideout, everyone, minus Leone, became in high alert while Lubbock looks at his Imperial Arm's glove and it was acting way out of control.

"Holy crap!" Lubbock shouts as he runs around the base. "Where'd they all come from all of a sudden?! They're already on top of us!"

A loud crash was heard in front of Lubbock, and he spots one of many of Dr. Stylish's soldiers.

"How the hell did they even get in?!" Lubbock cries out.

"The enemy... must be killed." Stylish's soldier said as it looked towards Lubbock. The soldier attempts to attack Lubbock, but gets caught by Lubbock's Cross-Tail's weaves and had its neck trapped and broken.

"This is bad, I need to find the rest of the team, NOW!" Lubbock thought to himself until he was caught off guard by the soldier's flexible neck. The soldier got out of the bindings and slashed at Lubbock, except Lubbock shielded himself from the attack by covering himself with Cross-Tail's weaving. "You'd be amazed how many awesome tricks I can do with this little bit of string. CHECK THIS OUT!"
