Nextgen Kids: Legend of the Nine Newborn

God Killing, Part 9: Kill the Requiem of Ice and Fire

DISCLAIMER: This chapter introduces the cast of Danganronpa V3, who will be involved in an upcoming fight scene. If you're not familiar with those characters, don't worry about it, this is just an excuse to give some Nextgen Kids a fun fight in this arc. I also subtracted a couple for the sake of simplicity.

"Seriously, kill it." Deadpool said, biting a chimichanga. "It was a bad story. No, not the book series, the Gameverse story."

"What're you talking about?" Nagisa asked.

"Heeeeey, Nagi-maaaaan! I didn't see you walk into the scene!"

"Did you accomplish your mission?" Chase asked, opening his hand. Nagisa dropped the blue gem into it.

"That makes two of the gems." Lucci said, fingers folded. "That leaves the ones from the Four Seasons and Galaxia Swords. Do you know who has the Galaxia Sword?"

"Aurora Uno. I think it stays in a Pocket Dimension until she needs to draw it out."

"Then you can't just steal from it. And simply challenging her to a fight and forcing her to draw it wouldn't be simple. ...But, a thought occurs to me."

"Yeah?" asked Akame.

"I remember back on Enies Lobby. My former associate, Rickey had a Devil Fruit that could open Pocket Dimensions. When he faced Miss Uno back then, he even stole her Galaxia Sword for a moment."

"Oh, yeah." Nagisa vaguely remembered that. "That was before she even knew she had it."

"If I do a bit of digging, I'm sure I can find out what he's doing. For now, we've a schedule to adhere to."

"You know the KND is gonna try to get those Newborn back. We should just put our efforts into building the trident."

"We don't have enough information, you fool. We don't know where the Seasons Sword is. However... you can still be of use. I'm sure you know who each of the Newborn Guardians are. If you tell us who they are... perhaps we can make plans to retrieve them."

"You're not planning... to kill the Guardians, are you?"

"Of course not. We only wish to secure the Newborn so they cannot be used against us. And once the trident is finished... we can begin the execution quickly. Besides, I'm under the impression that the Newborn cannot act without the Guardians, but killing them will make the Newborn run wild again. So, it wouldn't benefit us. For now, if we knew where the Guardians lived, we could make plans to steal them."

"Well... one Newborn I've been worried about is Verglora, the Ice one. Its Guardian is Miyuki from Sector IC. But they're locked up on GKND because they attacked fellow operatives. Then there's Synthia...ugh." Nagisa cringed remembering the experience. "Her Guardian is Rupert. He lives in Ashland, but he mostly hangs with the Minish, so who knows. And Boly, the Aincrad MCP... she lives in Quahog with Sector Q. And I don't know where the Nightmare Newborn lives, really."

"Your intel is much appreciated." Chase said. "Now... I could swear I heard your stomach growling a moment ago. There's food in your room. Go on and eat."

"Thank you..." Nagisa left, his expression droll.

"Except, by now, I doubt the Newborn will simply be idling around their hometowns." Sephiroth inferred.

"Then perhaps we'll need to lure them back." Lucci smirked. "After all... we are owed justice on Slade's demise."

"You want justice for Slade, but not for Mandy?" Akame asked.

"Mandy died failing to assassinate her target. But Slade was killed by the KND, abusing the power of the corrupt gods. They must understand the weight of their sins."
