A Certain Unexplainable Dragon Slayer

Y/n vs Knight Leader

"Why shouldn't I?" Accelerator demanded staring at the princess. As she watched, his black wings began to dissolve. "That bastard tried to kill me and someone I know. Give me a good reason not to or get out of my way!" His eyes flashed dangerously and Villian gulped, but she refused to let her fear stop her from saving someone.

"Please," she said again, watching Accelerator closely. "He must have a reason. William is not someone to attack without a purpose. He has always been against bringing civilians into conflicts."

"I know his damn reason," Accelerator spat out. "He wants to kill the damn hero. You met him at the audience earlier, spiky black hair, always jumps into other people's problems." He elaborated when Villian looked confused at the hero comment. Her eyes widened in recognition then turned to look at Acqua.

"Is this true?" she asked him, her voice shaking slightly. She had no idea why he would be after Y/n, especially someone who only seemed to be willing to help others. She based the observation on what she heard about him and saw herself.

"Yes." Acqua had no reason to lie. He had a mission and had failed at it. In his current condition, even a strategic retreat was not possible, as his body still refused to move. Though, after facing both a Saint and someone from Academy City whose power was just as great, he had begun to question if his decision to follow Fiamma was the correct one. If so many of the strongest individuals gather around a single boy, it could shake the foundation of the world. But in the end, I believe Fiamma also intends to do just that. Who is really on the correct path?

"Why?" Villian asked.

"Our job as God's Right Seat was to cleanse humanity from the original sin," Acqua explained simply. "Fiamma of the Right said the Imagine Breaker was the key to finishing our mission."

"And you believed him?" scoffed Accelerator. "From what I understand, that hand should just negate anything you try to do with it."

"The Imagine Breaker is much more entwined in history then you would understand," Acqua said. "At the time, I believed giving up one to save all was an acceptable cost. Recently, I began to have my doubt of Fiamma's goal, and I question if the boy's hand really is needed. But I have lost this battle, so my fate belongs to the winner. I will not beg for my life."

"Pssh," Accelerator said annoyed. "Emotionless people like you disgust me, at least show something human like when you are about to die."

"So the question right now is to determine what should be done about Acqua," Kaori said, as she approached them slowly. She had managed to find the strength to stand up and walk towards them. "Excuse me, William Orwell. If I recall, you were offered a place along the knights, but refused." Acqua didn't say anything, but she took his silence to mean she was correct. "This does leave an interesting predicament. He is an English citizen, but he is also a member of the Roman Catholic Church. The only people, who are injured, are mainly the knights, but I believe they will live."

"Can you let him go," Villian asked. "We need...."

"Let the fucker go?" Accelerator asked incredulously. "You want us to let this freak go so he can possibly come after us again. Like hell I'm going to..." Kaori cut him off.

"Please continue princess," Kaori said waving her on.

"We could use his help to stop my sister's coup," Villian continued. "His strength..."

"What?" Kaori and Accelerator asked immediately, and even Acqua's face had a slight trace of surprise.

"Do you not know?" she asked, her eyes wide. Kaori shook her head.

"I left the city shortly after our forces started capturing the cabal members," Kaori said. "I shut off communications." Accelerator looked down and pulled out his phone.
