No One's POV
"Around a thousand years ago, the emperor who founded the empire was deep in thought. Wanting to protect the kingdom forever he ordered that super weapons be created, since being mortal made it impossible for him to protect the empire personally. Materials from legendary super-level Danger Beasts and rare metals like orichalcum were apparently used to make them. The best of the best were summoned from around the world. The first emperor's power and assets produced 48 weapons that could not be reproduced today and they were called Teigu (Imperial Arms). Teigu are all powerful and among them are said to be some that have the power of a thousand men. The retainers that received the Teigu were able to achieve even greater military gains. However, due to the great civil war five hundred years ago, about half those weapons disappeared throughout the land. And that's that." Najenda finished explaining to Tatsumi of what Teigu really were.
Najenda then began to explain about everyones' Teigu's.
First, Akame's Teigu.
"Ichizan Hissatsu: Murasama. If you are cut by this enchanted sword, cursed poison enters the wound, leading to death. There is no antidote for the poison."
Second, Leone.
"Hundred Beast King Transformation: Lionel. A Teigu shaped like a belt. Users turn themselves into a beast, increasing their physical ability. Sense of smell is also heightened, enabling then to track enemies."
Third, Mine.
"Adventurous Spirit Battery: Pumpkin. A Teigu that takes spiritual energy and expels it as a shock wave. The more the wilder is in a pinch, the more destructive its powers."
Next, Bulat.
"Demon Binding: Incursio. An armour Teigu with impregnable defence. Because the bearer is at great risk wearing this, normal people die if they try to don it. It can also take advantage of the material it's made from and become invisible for a short while."
Lubbock.
"Infinite Variety: Cross Tail. A Teigu constructed of stiff strings. Lubbock can spread them, creating barriers that can find traps and enemies. It also has the ability to bind and sever. It lives up to the name "Infinite Variety"."
Sheele.
"Creation Bisector: Extase. Teigu in the form of giant scissors. It possess the power to bisect anything in the world. Because its hardness, it can also be used for defence."
Ame.
"Water's God: Kōri no Ha(Ice Blade). An extract Teigu that allows the user the ability to manipulate water and ice. It also allows the user to manipulate a person or any creature with water in it's body or to manipulate the air itself. The stronger the user's resolve, the denser the water and sharper the ice."
'When did they document my Teigu's abilities?' Ame wondered.
"Since each weapon has a trump card, one rule has been inviolable throughout the ages. Using these weapons with murderous intent, without exception, will ultimately result in a victim. Meaning, if the Teigu wielders were to fight one another, one is guaranteed to die."
Ame's POV
After boss finished explaining what Teigu weapons were, and that our target was a wielder of a Teigu to Tatsumi, we all decided on sections to guard in pairs.
"I'll see what I can find from up in the sky." I inform. "Alright, and Akame can partner up with Tatsumi." Leone finalized our positions before we moved out.
Creating my dragon once again, i took to the starless night sky. 'Its a full moon again... Your song will have to be a little bit late tonight... minna(everyone).' I mentally apologized.
Tonight's target:
Zank the Beheader/Executioner.
Objective:
Kill and survive.
Time Skip
Soaring through the sky, I looked down and saw Tatsumi covered in slashes and our target charging at him. Before he could get any closer, I threw down an icicle, just missing by a hair.
"Ah, arigato Ame!" The idiot thanked as he looked up, I simply nodded my head in acknowledgement. Akame then took up the challenge.
Akame and Zank continued their battle of speed and strength and Tatsumi's eyes widened in awe. Zanz then started talking about the voices of victims haunting you. "Sounds to me, he went mad from guilt." I said out loud as I descended to ground level. "Those 'voices' as you call them are fabricated from your conscious."
I then stood next to Akame. "Your just too soft for this kind of work."
"Urusai!(shut up!)" he shouted and before I knew it, he was no longer standing in front of us, the person I saw in front was a 6 year old boy with spiky light blue hair and bright cyan eyes.
Tatsumi's POV
"Kai..." Ame breathed out, a look of shock on her face. She shakingly brought her hand to her face, fingers at mouth level and her eyes... held tears...?
Akame also held a shock look on her face breathing out a name as well. "Kurome..."
"Wh-What's wrong? Akame! Ame!" I shout to them. "Illusion Sight. A person they value most appears before them. Their in their memories right now, reunited with the one most precious to them." Zank explained.
"So that's what that Sayo was. Akame, Ame, you're both seeing an illusion! Don't be fooled!" I shout but get no answer.
"It's no use. It only works on one or two at a time, but the hypnosis is strong. And no matter how experienced one may be, it is impossible for one to kill those they love most!" Zank then charged at the two.
Just before he struck, Akame and Ame slashed Zank. Akame using her Teigu, Ame using her wrist blade covered with a layer of jagged ice.
Ame had a grim and angered look whiles Akame had a dark and vengeful look in her eyes.
"Why?! You two should have seen the ones you love most!" Zank shouted in frustrated confusion.
Akame was first to answer with cold eyes. "It's because I loved her the most that I wanted to kill her as swiftly as possible."
"Its because I know that the person I loved the most, I won't ever be able to see again." A single tear slid down Ame's cheek, but a vengeful and bloodthirsty look masked over her. "The next time I'll be able to see my little brother again... is if I even get to got to heaven." Venom laced in her words before the two charged.
A lightning fast speed battle broke before Ame broke his wrist blades and Akame gave the final blow.
"Zank, I'm sure you can't hear the groaning anymore." Akame stated.
He then began mumbling. "The noises... have stopped. S-splendid... Splendid. Thank you, Akame... Ame..."
