"Hey! You! Do you know where General Najenda is!?" Seryu shouted, running through the Capital.
"Najenda? No, I don't, sorry." The soldier replied.
"Oh, I do!" Another announced, stepping forward, away from the group that was helping in clearing some of the debris.
"Take me to her now! It's urgent!" Seryu ordered.
"U-uh, right! This way!" The soldier saluted, before running off, gesturing for her to follow him, she did such, gritting her teeth as she thought about what happened.
I have to report this, maybe we can save her!
...
"Akame, can you go see Tatsumi?" Najenda asked, worried for the man turned dragon. "I have a bad feeling." She mumbled.
Akame nodded, running into the battlefield, towards where Tatsumi was slumped over.
Once she made it to him, she placed her hand up on his scaly armour, and noticed something. This is. She suddenly had to dodge back, as Tatsumi opened his eyes wide and swung out his arm, nearly hitting Akame.
Akame lost her footing as she landed, and Tatsumi swung again, but stopped just shy of hitting her.
"Kill...me. I can't... hold it off... any longer. You promised... hurry." He stated painfully, doing everything in his power to stop the dragon from taking over.
She looked down. "You're right, it was a promise." She mumbled, walking forward, she put the blade up to his chest, and pushed forward.
Her eyes widened.
The dragon's skin, it was just as hard as the Incursio armour.
She can't penetrate it.
Tatsumi suddenly roared, swinging his large claw down at her once more, losing control, and Akame grit her teeth as she jumped back.
She swiped at his arm as she did so, but to no effect.
The skin, it's too hard! She thought.
The dragon suddenly opened its mouth, and Akame had to quickly dodge for cover as a blast fired out from its mouth, destroying where she'd been standing moments ago.
She quickly looked him over, and started dashing around, assessing chinks in his armour.
There were none, the only place that might work would be if she cut its eye or inside its mouth, but she'd leave herself too open.
I wouldn't be able to escape alive if I did that. She realized.
Just to be sure, she took advantage of whenever the dragon attacked, slicing at weaker looking parts around the ankles, behind the knees, the inside of the elbows, or even the large wings, but each time her sword just clanged off the heavy armour.
Not even a scratch.
She took a deep breath as she held her sword out with both hands, then my only option is this.
Tatsumi, she thought, thinking back to all the happy times she had with him, all the sadness, and the promises, everything he'd been through, and how's he's grown.
Tatsumi... I'm going to kill you.
She had killed so many, taken countless lives. But now, regardless of the circumstances, she has no choice but to thrust her blade into her friend's flesh, the only other time this had happened was when she first acquired Murasame. Akame had been ready and willing to kill her one little sister if the situation demanded it, this convinced Murasame that she was the one and only true owner of such a demon blade.
