Hello Everyone! This is my first fanfiction, so please have resilience in my writing skills. Aside from that, there may be several mistakes I missed and some characters may be a little OOC. Also, I know that each character has about two names, so I chose those from the anime: Schere=Sheele, Rabac=Lubbock, Braht=Bulat, etc. Please enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Akame ga Kill and nor do I intend to.
"Assassination complete" Chelsea said, but soon the target slowly rose as a dark blue figure caught Chelsea and sprinted away toward the night raid hideout, without leaving any trace of his presence.
Orders could be heard as Kurome's puppets ran after them and gunshots passed within inches of their head. The cloaked blue figure suddenly stopped and slashed through the chest of Doya, one of Kurome's remaining puppets and quickly regained his original speed. Soon, the gunshots stopped as they got out of range.
"Put me down!"screamed a voice from afar.
Arrived at a safe distance of the enemy, the cloaked man stopped and deposited Chelsea on the ground.
"Are you alright?"he asked, worried.
"Yes, thanks to you,"she said.
"You should be more careful, you know. Kurome isn't that easy to kill."
"I think I've learned my lesson. But what is your name?"she inquired.
"That's not important."
"I think I deserve to know the name of my savior…"
"Okay, fine. You may call me Azure."
"Are you in the Revolutionary army? I've never seen your name in any of the records…"
"That's because I am not in it."
"Wait! Do you serve the Empire?"
"I once did, but not anymore."
"Why?"
"I was born in a noble family in Icarius and the land prospered under my father's government. He had great ambitions for me so I trained harder than anyone and studied many things. Because of this, I became the Empire's youngest general. I served under General Esdese's orders and exterminated the Northern tribes. After that battle, everything changed for me with the words:'Violate this city at your heart's content!' coming from my commander's mouth. I couldn't believe it. Men were slaughtered and buried alive while women were raped beyond recognition and killed afterward. The sight was horrifying, I couldn't believe that the Commander, who was so good to me, allowed that to happen, before I knew, I already have doubts about the empire. Two weeks later, we came to the capital and I got an urgent message from my father, telling me to come home and meet him there. But when I arrived, it was too late. Blood was everywhere. I hurried to my father's room only to see him lying there, dying with an axe stuck on this chest and a sheathed sword beside him. I quickly knelt by his side and cried. 'Take this sword, it's called Excelsior and is therefore yours. The Empire betrayed us, my son. Always…always remember that…Azure…know that I loved you.' He gasped as he let out his final breath…"
"Are you alright?" Chelsea asked as a tear ran across Azure's face."It's okay, you don't have to tell me this…"
"No. I can continue." He smiled. "I've already started the story, so why would I stop?" So he continued…
"So after he died, I cried out in rage and searched for the assassins that killed my father. They were Shingu users and that girl who was about to kill you was amongst them. Anyway. I was also about to be killed by her when another girl with red eyes grabbed her and said: 'He's not a target.' I will never forget her kindness and she's the only one that I won't kill. And the assassins left me among a mountain of corpses of my father's personal guards. I decided that day to avenge the death of my father and all the Icarii who perished with him, so I grabbed my father's Teigu and set out to find the killers and hunt them down one by one. I was tailing Kurome when I saw you and I couldn't help but go save you."
"What happened to the other assassins?"
"They were all killed, of course."
"All?"
"All except Kurome. But not by me, it seems the empire held a grudge against them as well."
"And what do you think happened to the girl who saved you?"
"I heard she betrayed the Empire and she was on the wanted papers."
"That settles it, then!"
"Settles what?"
"You'll come with me!"
"Where?"
"You'll see!"
"O-okay…"he said before being dragged away by the brown haired beauty.
Almost an eternity later, they entered a house under a cliff…
"Everyone! I'm baaaaaaack!" Chelsea cried.
"Where have you been?"asked a familiar voice.
And Akame came in sight. She was the assassin kind enough to spare his life. Oh well.
"I tried to kill Kurome, but I failed."Chelsea said sadly. "It takes more than a poison needle to kill her…"
"…but failing to assassinate a Jaeger puts you in a tremendous amount of danger when you're alone. How did you survive?"
"This guy came just in time to save me!" She cheered. "He is a perfect candidate to our party as well!"
"What?" Azure breathed out. "What is this candidate thing?"
"You'll see."
"Hey, Akame. Have I we met before?"
Azure attempted to test her.
"No, I believe not,"she responded with a straight face.
(She forgot, huh?)
Akame led them to a cozy room with a few people in it.
"Okay everyone, this is Azure." The red haired beauty presented. "He saved me from Kurome!"
"Nice to meet you, my name is Tatsumi."
"Azure, this is the Night Raids. We are a kind of party of assassins who murder the most repugnant Empire officials and we support the Revolutionary army." he added. "This guy over there is Lubbock(he's kind of weird in his own way), beside him is Leone and then the little one is Mine. In the other side, there is Tatsumi…"
"Hey Tatsumi! You're zipper's open!"
"What?" the brown haired boy cried out. "That's not true!"
A door opened and a figure went out.
"Oh and that's the boss!" Chelsea said happily. "Najenda! I'm back!"
"Don't be so careless again, Chelsea. The night raid works as a team."
"Commander Najenda! I heard you were the assassins' next target!"
"You were a soldier under my command, I see," Najenda remarked. "Might I ask your name?"
"My name is Azure."
"Are you that blue-haired swordsman who survived the attack on the teigu bandits?"
"Yes, Milady," He replied. "I fear I was the only survivor. All my comrades were killed," His sorry look was not unnoticed by the night raiders.
"Azure recovered five imperial arms in that fight. I was away at the capital when this happened." She told them. "My army got attacked by a band of barbarian riding danger beasts. It seems Azure and many others fought bravely to buy time for their companions to escape and tell me about this…and that's how Sheele, Mine and Lubbock got their teigus."
"By the way, would you like to join the Night Raid?"
I hoped you enjoyed it. Like many other people, I am quite disappointed by Chelsea's death, so I imagined a possible outcome if someone came to change her fate. Please review, comment or favorite. I'm looking forward to that and I'll decide whether I continue this fic or not according to the reviews.
Au revoir,
Exalted Hero
