One Soul: The Assassins War Arc

Chapter 21: The Broken Promise

Natala raised his spear up preparing to attack while Doya raised her guns aiming them towards Drew's head. As both of them prepared to kill the assassin Drew looked at them with raged filled eyes. The scales which had appeared had stopped growing and were only in a few places being the forehead and around the sides of his head. "I'm going to end you two than go for Kurome so step aside if you don't want to get burned." He said raising his left hand to about head level. The two did not budge at all, they only moved forward starting to run at him. "I warned you." He said. "A second later Doya was punched directly in the stomach. As blood spurted out of her mouth from the sudden impact Drew increased the strength of the punch and the immense strength launched Doya clear out of view, making her land somewhere in the forest. Natala seeing this happen tried to strike only to have his spear be caught. "I made a promise." He clenched the spear so hard that it broke. He held up his right fist and threw it at Natala's. "I made a promise!"

A Little Ways Away from the Current Battle...

Kurome still laid there not able to move. "Doya and Natala haven't come back yet. Did they get her or did she somehow manage to kill them?" She tried to move but was still feeling pain and exhaustion all around her body. "I've got to get out of here or else this may be-" Before she could finish Natala's body soared right by her. She moved her head watching as she saw the bloody mark of a fist against his face. His body went into few trees, knocking them down before it stopped when it hit the sixth tree. Kurome was so surprised by this. Natala, one of her best puppets, taken down, but by who?

Kurome turned her head to see a man walking down the path. She gulped remembering who it was from before. The hand lit on fire gave it away. It was the person who tried to destroy her Danger Beast at the beginning. "You are the one who controls those puppets right?" All she could do was watch as he got closer. "Than you are the one who killed Chelsea." He stopped and looked at her with rage filled eyes. "Than I'll make sure to kill you." He threw his fist about to throw the decisive strike only to have it be blocked by a man in blackish blue armor. Drew jumped back and looked at the man who had just appeared.

He stood upright and looked at Drew. "Sorry I'm late Kurome. Are you ok?" He said.

Kurome's eyes widened as she recognized the voice. "W-Wave?" She said while slowly falling to the ground, getting weaker by the second.

He took a step forward. "I'll make sure to protect you against him." He said launching himself towards Drew. As soon as he got in close proximity he launched a full assault of punches and kicks. All Drew could do was hold up his arms and try to protect himself. "I'll crush you here and now." He pulled his right hand back and formed it into a fist and launched it at Drew as fast as he could.
Drew smirked and caught the fist. Wind blew past him since the attack carried so much strength behind it. "You bastards killed one of my teammates. One of my friends." His grip on Wave's fist tightened. "I made a promise..." He whispered to himself. "I made a promise!" His entire body lit up as the fire inside him became hotter and hotter. His free hand turned into a fist which he threw at Wave. It hit him directly in the chest which shattered some of the armor plating. From here on he knew this wouldn't be a winning battle.

In the Nearby Forest by the Flower Meadow...

Akame and Tatsumi were both hoping to catch up to Chelsea to provide backup to takedown Kurome. As they started to get closer to the flower meadow they saw a body lying against a tree. Akame was the first to investigate. As she kneeled down she immediately remembered who it was. Doya, the gun user who fought with Mine, had a burn mark all around her chest and wasn't breathing presumably dead. "This burn mark here. Do you think Drew did this?" She looked over at Tatsumi.

He looked at her and than up ahead. "I believe so. Come on let's head to the clearing up ahead and see what's going on." He said already running off. Akame stood up and followed him. As Tatsumi reached the clearing he looked around for any sign of Drew or Chelsea. As he scanned the flowery ground he spotted a body lying there in the flowers. He quickly ran over only to stop right in front of it. The reddish orange hair was hard not to remember. This was Chelsea's body.
