Akame ga Kill! - Killer of the East

Kill the Puppeteer! - part 1

??? POV

I have to say, the famous killer Akame of Night Raid is very skilled, more skilled than I ever could prescribe. every time I showed an opening, she would take her chance, and strike.

"Your slowing down." she said under her breath.

Shit, she was right. all this moving around was killing me. she knows I won't let her cut me, so she's wearing me down so I'll slow down.

Very admirable.

Time to set it up a notch!

Akame POV

I was winning, I could tell. only a couple more minutes until he showed a big enough weak point. one cut is all it would take.

but my plans are completely ruined when he does this. I never expected it either.

he runs at me, and slashed sideways, which I ducked under his blade and made for a stabbing. I had him!

before I knew it, I felt a burning pain in my side. it felt as if it was...

On Fire!!!

his leg has connected with my hip, and surprisingly, his leg aflame with a burning fire.

I'm sent flying into a wall, what is this? he's much stronger than before, what happened? I get up and watch him, he's just standing there, his arms and legs on fire, yet he's not screaming in pain.

he suddenly chuckles.

"Surprised? I thought this was a bit unfair seeing your the only one using your Teigu." he said.

a Teigu?! that's how he's doing that? what Teigu is it, I've never heard of one that makes it able so you don't get burned. And where is it? is it his sword? or maybe... his mask?

"Hey do me a favor, and stop staring at me like that." he says as he scratches his head. "Your gonna give me nightmares."

I never notice when I'm glaring at someone, was I making a scary face? wait, why was I worried about my face? I needed to take this guy down.

I raised my sword, and charged. His body tensed up, and flames started to appear.

but...

before I knew it, someone had beaten me to the punch, because Tatsumi, who was chasing the target earlier, kicked the Assassin, square in the back, a full hit.

he flew to the ground at the strength of Incursio, the armor Tatsumi wears as his Teigu.

"Got him!" He said.

the Assassin coughed, and gasped for breath.

"t-that was a nice hit." he said, clutching his back.

He looked from me to Tatsumi over and over until...

"I give up." I simply said.

me and Tatsumi both give each other surprised looks. he was so into the battle that I wouldn't take him for the type to give up.

"why?" Tatsumi speaks his mind.

The assassin simply sits cross legged on the floor now. he sighs deeply.

"I'm obviously overmatched against two of you. no way I'll win if this isn't a fair fight, it's pointless." he said, it sounded like he was a bit disappointed.

he has a very weird way of fighting. I could see that he loves to fight, but in a strange sense of honor, he only believes in fair fights. he's a real odd ball, even for me.

Tatsumi crouched next to him.

"We're gonna take you hostage, your gonna meet our boss." he said, disabling Incursio and turning back into normal.

The assassin just shrugs, "sure. whatever, if it means you not killing me."

Tatsumi smiles, "you have my word."

it's amazing how Tatsumi is able to forgive people like that, but he has a point, boss would like to meet him.

as Tatsumi helped the guy up, a giant explosion shakes the ground.

"What was that?!" I said, looking out the window, to the court yard.

The assassin chuckles again.

"looks like this target called in the big guns." he said.

Lubbock POV

I now personally, hate clowns. and mimes.

being sent out a window and hitting the generator sucked hardcore donkey balls. my luck, huh?

"ow, ow ow. jeez, take it easy, will ya?" I said, getting while rubbing my arm from pain.

the clown masked man, Vandal, jumps out of the window, and lands perfectly. this guy has a Teigu that controls other people's bodies, now that's dangerous. how the hell am I supposed to beat him?!

Vandal laughed, watching me very closely. every step I took he watched with interest, as if it had meaning of what I was to do next.

I can't beat this guy on my own, I'll need help from one of the others. so far as I know, he only can control one person at a time. it's a gamble, but if that's right... then if one of the other do come over here, we'll win.

Vandal tensed up, and moved his arms in a weird way, as if controlling a puppet. then without warning, my arms move by themselves.

"Shit!" I said as I try to fight it. it's like fighting your mind against body, this is hard.

my right hand coils around my neck, followed by my left. Shit, he's gonna make me choke myself to death! How do I get out of this situation?

Then my arms go back to normal.
wait, what? I thought.

I look over to where Vandal is looking. There stands Tatsumi, his Incursio equipped. his cape flowed in the wind, as a silent breeze blew by.

"You must be the famous member of Night Raid, the one who use Incursio. very nice to make the acquaintance." Vandal says as he bows a greeting to Tatsumi.

Then, Tatsumi charges, without introducing himself back.

"Stay away from my comrade!" He screams as he charges.
