Chapter #21 I need a reminder

(3rd Pov)

Y/n steps into the closet and closes it as Lucia runs up to the door and shouts. Akame turned and ran to the other room.

Lucia: HEY! OVER HERE!

All the grimm in the room snap their heads in her direction and roar at her before rushing at her. She turned on her heel and dashed down the hallway. Following Y/n's instructions, she runs down the hall and sees another double-door and bursts through it before jumping forward to avoid a beowolf who got too close to clawing her back. She flips in the air and twists her body to land in a crouching position with her feet skidding against the ground. She quickly got up and parried a claw strike from the same beowolf. She knocked it back and got into a stance.

As she did this, the first Ursa Major to go through the door unfortunately met a short end by Akame who had jumped up and clung to the ceiling before Lucia came, waiting for one to go under her. Seeing her chance, she fell down and aimed her steel rod. It pierced through the grimm's skull. It's still thrashed for a few seconds before collapsing to the ground. She jumps away to avoid a bite from a creeper. She rejoins Lucia who had just knocked back a bewolf and the two were now back-to-back.

Lucia: How many do you see?

Akame: I'm counting five in front of me.

Lucia: I see six.

Akame: Shall we make this quick and get back to our boyfriend?

Lucia: Definitely.

They finish the conversation in time as a creeper lunged at Lucia. Obviously, since they wield steel rods they wouldn't be anywhere near sharp enough to carve through the grim, much less cut them. So she simply smacked it overhead, smashing into the ground before applying pressure and force into her other arm to stab her other rod through the creepers eye. It thrashed and roared loudly in pain. A bewolf then lunged at the girl now that she was occupied holding the other grim down. It stretched its maw open, ready to clamo down on her but didn't expect her to lift the grim impaled on her rod. Now, the beowolf indevertibly clamped down it's jaw on the other grim which had finally gone limp since the jaw wrapped around its neck, allowing Lucia to use the small distraction to thrust her other rod into the beowlfs mouth after it dropped the dissolving grimm.

Blood ruptured from within the grimm's throat, causing it to choke on it along with the rod that had gone right through the back of its neck. Pushing down the rod in its throat, Lucia pried open the beast mouth again to thrust the other rod into the underside of its upper jaw, piercing out of the skull. Another creeper lunged at her, but was smashed down to the ground by Akame, who applied enough force to make its head cave in. She quickly swings the rod behind her to block a claw strike from a beowolf. It backs off and she quickly spins around to smash the elbow of its arm, bending it backwards. It howled in pain and tried to claw at her with its other arm, but was parried before having the rod stabbed through its underside and out the back.

Using its own body, Akame swings it and knocks it into another grimm that was charging at her. It knocks them both back, but manages to get up. This continues on for the next ten minutes, following a familiar pattern.

(With Y/n)

After waiting for all the grimm to go past him, Y/n hastilt gets out of the closet and rushes into the room where the portal was, which he realised was producing a great amount of heat when he got close. With gloves equipped, he grabs the bike and drags it a good distance away before opening his bag. He brings out a set of tools needed for the job. He did a quick wipe over his forehead to get rid of the sweat made by the heat residue.

Y/n: 'If I work too long, the molding of the tools might shift and become useless.'

With that in mind, he gets to work on dismantling it one piece at a time until he reaches the main power source. This was the only way he knew to disable the device and close the portal without the other devices since he couldn't bring them without risk they could be damaged as well. He still needed them for his temporary house mates. Plus it would be a hassle to fit them all in a bag without one scrapping against another.
