One Soul: The Assassins War Arc

Chapter 6: The Fallen Comrade

A week after Drew joined Night Raid everything was peaceful. This was a problem since Drew was never sent out to do any missions. He would stay in the base walking back and forth and hitting his head against the wall before continuing. "Why hasn't she put me on a mission yet. I could be so much help to everyone." He said with a depressed look. "Akame, Lubbock, Tatsumi, & Bulat all went on missions so why can't I tag along. I guess they still don't trust me." He let out a sigh and heard footsteps approach him. He quickly looked up to see Mine walking up to him.

"Yo Dragon Head can you help me with something?" She said putting the one unbroken arm she had on her hips as she gave him a unnerving stare.

"Dragon Head?" He said aggravated by what the small pink haired girl had called him.

"Yeah got a problem with it Dragon Head?" She said looking even more pissed off than before as the two got into a staring showdown.

"You're so lucky you're a girl or else I wouldn't hesitate to punt kick you pinkie." He said as he glared at her.

Mine got pissed off as her face turned red with anger. "Pinkie??!!!" She said and kicked him right in between the legs.

There was a sudden shriek that could be heard throughout the base. Drew rolled around on the ground grabbing his private area in pain as Mine left the injured boy.

Leone walked down the same hallway a few minutes later to see Drew still in the same spot. "Mine do this to you?" She said as she knelt down beside the crippled boy.

All Drew could do was nod and as he tried to wipe away the tears from his eyes.

"Yeah well she can do that to you if you piss her off enough. So I'd wear a ball protector or else you might not be able to have children." She winked and walked away leaving him alone once again.

He slowly got up after 20 minutes of laying on the ground. He sighed and thought, "I wonder how their missions are going. Hopefully well." He stands only catch himself on the wall due to the pain in his groin area. Walking back to room slowly he feels sudden pain in his chest for a brief second which makes him collapse onto the ground. When the pain disappears Drew puts his hand on the center of it. "What was that? Why did I feel such pain right now?" He said before climbing back up and walking to his room.

The Next Day....

Drew woke up to talking right outside his door. He got up and walked over to the door to hear Mine and Leone talking about the others.

He opened the door and they both looked at him shocked. "Hey what are you guys talking about outside my door." He said as he rubbed his eyes trying to wake up.

"Well." Leone started, "Akame and Lubbock came back last night but we haven't heard anything from Tatsumi or Bulat yet."

Drew's face went from tired to terrified. "Where are Akame and Lubbock now?"

"They are downstairs in the main room." Mine said with a pissed off but worried kind of tone. Drew nodded and quickly went downstairs to see the two sitting and sipping some tea.

"How'd it go?" Drew said as he walked into the room.

"Pretty simple. No one attacked us at all so we had it pretty easy." Lubbock said wondering what Najenda would say to him.

"Other than that we haven't heard from Tatsumi or from Bulat. I'm worried about them." Akame said looking at her cup.

"Don't worry I think they will be ok. Bulat is strong and so is Tatsumi." Drew said with a soft smile towards Akame which in return made her blush a little.

Lubbock than sprang to his feet and slammed his hands on the table. "Something just passed through my trap. East from here. From what I can tell there are two of them but one seems to be carrying the other."

"Let's go." Drew immediately ran out the door and ran east as Lubbock and Akame followed behind. Just then they encountered the two. Like Lubbock had said one was being carried by another.

"Stop identify yourself." Akame said as she drew her sword. The man finally came into view. He had armor on and was carrying a body.

Drew's eyes widened as he saw Bulat on the shoulder of the armored man. "I-is that Bulat.. if so than who is?" Drew looked at the face of the armored man as if he could see through the faceplate. "Tatsumi?"

The armored man put Bulat down and the armor started to turn to mist and disappear only leaving behind the Incursio Sword. Tatsumi stood there with a weak smile and a few tears in his eyes. "H-hey guy's..." Tatsumi said weakly before falling onto the ground passed out.
