Robot Akame Ga Kill!

Chapter Twenty-Six: Kill the Knight

Najenda sat in her chair in the conference room, thinking about the news she had heard. It wasn't enough that Braedey Martin, this stranger in her Hideout, had the power to transform into any creature at will, but can do so without a time limiter anytime he wants. What was shocking was that the other part of the message she received was when Braedey Martin fought and barely won against Esdeath. That was what shocked her - and moreso worried her. Braedey was becoming too dangerous to be kept alive, she once thought. But she knew that if she tried anything, Braedey could level Night Raid without a sweat. She hypothesized that Braedey could have a transformation powerful than any Imperial Arms crafted by the First Emperor. This was first realized when she first heard that he defeated Akame the first time - and had continued to defeat her time and time and time again.

And each transformation equals a new way for him to defeat them. When she saw Braedey and Akame walking, she cleared her throat.

"Martin." Braedey stopped at the mention of his name. Akame turned around to her Boss as well as her walking mate towards a concerned former General.

"Hello?"

"Akame, give us some privacy. Martin and I have some matters to discuss for the moment." Najenda said. As Braedey entered the room, nervous as all hell, Akame closed the door. Najenda got up from her chair, hiding her anger. She walked towards the young man with hidden hostility.

"What is it that you want?" Braedey asked with concern.

"Oh nothing, just..." without warning, Najenda punched Braedey in the stomach, knocking out fluids of blood to spray out of his mouth with her robotic arm then grabbed his head and smashed it on the table. "YOU FOUGHT ESDEATH AND YOU LET HER WALK?" She pulled Braedey away from the table, and continued to give him a series of punches. Braedey tried to defend himself, but he couldn't. He couldn't use his Transformatrix as a deterrent because he couldn't bring himself to use it since Najenda was kicking his ass. He blocked some of her punches but to no avail.

She finished it off with a swift kick to the jaw, sending him flying across the room, crashing on top of the table. Braedey fell to the ground, and quickly activated his Transformatrix and programmed it to Piledriver.

"You transform, I won't hold back next time." She panted.

Braedey said nothing.

"The next time you see her." She opened the door for Braedey, who struggled to get up. "She better be dead. Now, get out of my sight."

Braedey, struggling to get up, limped to the exit with his hand still on the faceplate, as he glared at Najenda. She slammed the door behind him, forcing Braedey to fall to the ground. Akame caught him before his head went to the floor.

Braedey coughed out more blood due to the initial strike he received from Najenda. Once they were outside, Akame sat him down next to Tatsumi's friend's graves. She pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"What's with her?" Braedey asked.

"Esdeath saw you transform." Akame replied.

"Ok?"

"Which means that she and her army will fight harder. She will give everything she got to ensure our destruction." Akame explained.

"She could have used words. I didn't know!" Braedey said, "Damn, the next time... ow."

Akame changed the topic of the conversation to deter Braedey's anger, seeing how brightly blue the Transformatrix was becoming. "You're really not from around here, are you?" She asked.
