Robot Akame Ga Kill!

Chapter Thirty-One: Kill the Prime Angel

It had been hours since Sheele, Braedey, and Akame together had walked through those thick woods. With their fresh wounds and aching bodies, they managed the walk okay. Sheele, who once had a slight dislike for the crazy justice girl, shared an as much extreme hatred for her as with the red assassin. Braedey, who could walk the extra mile now, was still shocked that Sheele was strong enough to carry him, but more shocked at Akame. Her slim frame would have made it impossible for her to carry a person like him. He could understand about Sheele, she was slightly bigger and had a slight muscularity to her.

Once the trio finally arrived back to base, they were welcomed by the blonde cat lady, Leone, who had her arms folded. Her smile became permanent, as she blocked the door.

Akame came forward towards her blonde friend. "Is something the matter?" She asked.

"Yep, it's Braedey." Leone replied.

"What about him?" Sheele asked, acting as a shield, ready to defend him at all cost. Akame, though had high respect for him, did not act as a shield to him. She was surprised to see her purple friend immediately at Braedey's defence. Even Braedey has to slightly move her arm away, but even that was becoming a little difficult. She was becoming a little too protective of the young hero.

"Is he being threatened?" She asked directly to a very shocked Leone. Leone knew Sheele's protective nature for the young man, but not to this degree. Whatever happened in those woods had her gone to the point of becoming Braedey's gate. Hell, it was even harder for Akame to get close to her without her being suspicious.

"Um... Sheele?" Braedey and Akame began.

"Sorry, got a little carried away." Sheele apologised.

"Um... okay? Anyway." Leone cuts to the chase by grabbing him. Sheele tried to reach for him, but it was too late. Akame giggled. "Why didn't you tell me that you had a cousin? Huh?" Leone noogied the teen hero.

Braedey was shocked. "WHAT?" He pushed away.

"Yeah! Your cousin. Jessie Martin, right?" Leone asked.

"Who told you? How?" Braedey demanded.

"Hi, cousin!" Jessie called, coming out of the Hideout with her arms folded with her big smile. Alongside her was Tatsumi, Mine, and Lubbock.

"JESSIE?!" Braedey teared up, then he immediately rushed over to his cousin, and gave her a big bearhug, spinning around as the two Martins rejoiced.

Sheele, as well as everyone else, save for Akame, already knew about Jessie. Akame was dumbfounded by the revelation. This confirmed her earlier theory about Braedey's entire life. He had never suffered before a day in his life, and he had a family. Jessie was here and was not dead at all, so where did Braedey's sense of justice come from? That was the mystery to her. Though she no longer feared him, it's the mystery that got her intrigued.

She knew what Braedey was capable of, but what about his cousin? She looked suspicious. She didn't have a Transformatrix on her, but she could sense that she was pretty powerful in her own right. What could she do exactly - let alone being Braedey's cousin.

"You have a family?" Akame asked, tears slowly streaming down her face.

"Hey? Who's the red girl?" Jessie asked.

"Oh, that's Akame!" Tatsumi and Braedey introduced.

"Hello there." Akame replied.

In a small lake house behind the main base, Tatsumi was finishing up his story at what he learned. This, of course, caught Jessie off guard. She quickly learned about Esdeath, and immediately categorised her as a threat, however, there was more to Tatsumi's story that everyone had hoped. That was when he came to the point of mentioning Seryu and her unnatural hatred for the blue teen hero. Jessie became unnerved, wanting nothing but to annihilate the young woman that attacked her cousin. Had she been there, Seryu would have been history.
