06/02/15 UPDATE: Midori's first fight is now lengthened and perfected!

A/N:

S'UP! It's CVL again. I'm really, REALLY sorry for breaking your fragile hearts with my previous and also first AgK fanfic, Kill The Promise. I don't even know what came over me, the idea just popped up out of nowhere and I was suddenly inspired to write it down!

And so is this one!

ANYWAY, in order to make it up to y'all for writing a sad and feely oneshot, HERE'S ANOTHER SAD AND FEELY ONESHOT BASED ON CHAPTER 56 OF THE MANGA! TAKAHIRO-SENSEI HAS TAUGHT ME WELL! MWAHAHAHAHAHAH-*cough* *cough*

Nah just kidding, that was an idea I abandoned since it was SO hard to write. Here's the real thing:

Prologue

2:00 AM. Unknown location

(BGM: Akame ga Kill! OST - Le Chant De Roma/ Main Theme)

Somewhere in the completely uninhabited dunes, two cloaked figures quickly moved.

"Ne..." The smaller figure, a girl in her early teens, pouted. "...Are we there yet?"

"Patience is key, Midori." The taller figure, a woman in her late twenties, said calmly in a monotone voice. "If you stop blabbering we'll be there in no time."

"Aw, come on! We've been walking for hours!" The girl named Midori cutely puffed her cheeks, veins popping out of her forehead. "Can't we just set up camp and rest for the night? You know, like we always do!?"

"Shh!" The woman put a finger to her mouth as the air around them became tense. Midori also realized this change and reluctantly put a stop to her constant complaining.

"W-What is it?" She slightly stuttered, her green orbs darting everywhere.

She received a reply moments later in the form of a curved dagger flying straight towards her face.

"Look out!"

Midori could only stand there dumbstruck, mouth gaping in awe as her companion unsheathed her katana and batted the dagger away in a matter of seconds. The unusually strong desert winds blew open her hood, revealing her knee-length raven hair and crimson eyes.

"Brace yourself, we've got company!" Akame shouted, tightening her grip on Murasame. Before the two females appeared a hoard of about ten armed brutes, each one bearing a vulgar smirk.

"Better surrender while you can, ladies." One stepped forward. He seems to be the group's leader. "Or we're gonna have to do it the hard way."

(Yes. That pun was intended. Because I suck at it.)

Midori's eyebrow twitched in annoyance and disgust. In the blink of an eye, she leaped in, drew her own weapon - a longsword with a heavily decorated crossguard - then swiftly swung it in an upwards arc and tore the perverted man in half. Her blinding speed left the other bandits' mouths hung open in pure horror and shock as they watched their strongest member's lifeless form drop onto the blood-soaked sands.

"Gettin' real tired of your crap, bandits!" The green-eyed girl held her blade close, preparing for another blow. "You guys never learn, just like every generic villain ever!"

(Leaning on the fourth wall much?)

"G-GET THE GIRL! SHE'S A TEIGU USER!"

That was all the encouragement they needed to attack the young swordswoman. Unfortunately, this was exactly what Midori wanted them to do.

"...Eliminate."

She murmured as one bandit closed in and brought his scimitar down upon her, only to find himself hitting nothing but thin air as her body dissipated. The winds blew harsher as Midori materialized behind him and impaled the man with her sword, the blade emitting a bright green light. Retrieving the weapon from the bandit's bleeding chest, she turned around and slashed horizontally, creating a green crescent-shaped aerial blade. It went through two of the remaining brutes, killing them both with ease. Another bandit rushed in and managed to land a jab onto her face, sending her a couple of feet backwards. Regaining her balance just moments later, Midori crouched to avoid a lethal horizontal slash from behind, swept the attacker off his feet, then brought the Teigu up diagonally, effectively cutting him down. She then jumped up and spin-kicked the bandit who almost broke her nose earlier, quickly breaking his neck. Casting a glance over the three bandits surrounding her (who were still too shocked to react), she spun the longsword in front of her as it shone bright, sending a strong current of wind blades right towards them. Needless to say, the area where they used to stand has become a pool of blood.

"P-Please..." The remaining bandit knelt down and begged in vain. "H-Have mercy! I'm only doing this to-"

Without hesitation, Midori approached the horrified man and decapitated him with a simple two-handed swing.

"Ten targets eliminated. Mission complet-"

She stopped dead in her tracks when she realized how much blood she had on her. A nauseous feeling quickly toxicated her body, sending chills down her spine and making her drop to her knees.

"Midori!" The other woman prevented her from falling onto the bloody sands. She turned her around and looked directly into her trembling eyes.

"It's okay, Mama's here. Look at me."

She assured the terrified young lady while flicking the blood away from her abandoned weapon.

"M-Mama..." Midori managed to speak coherently. "I-I don't feel so good..."

"I expected this to happen." Her mother brought her closer. "You're only fourteen. With that much blood on your hands, it's a miracle you're still conscious."

"...I made a mess, didn't I?"

"Don't mind."

"S-So...How did I do?" She grinned victoriously. Her mother couldn't help but smile herself.

"Well, for a girl that had never once killed a real man in her life, I have to admit, you did good." Akame complimented her, sheathing her own Teigu and carefully tying it back on her belt. She grabbed the younger girl's free hand and dragged her along.

"Now come on, let's keep moving." She stood up. "I can see the Capital up ahead. We're almost there."

"Yosh!"

Just like people gradually rotting away, countries will also eventually collapse. Even the Imperial Capital that prospered for thousands of years is now corrupted and has turned into a living hell. Evil spirits from all the lands take the form of humans, running rampant as if everything belonged to them.

Such evil, the likes of which could not be judged by heaven's presence, shall be executed by us in the darkness.

...Because we are assassins!

An Akame ga Kill! Fanfic

Eliminate!

PLOT: Basically a second season to the anime, following the filler plot. A grown Akame finally returns to the new and rebuilt Capital, bringing along a mysterious 14-year-old girl named Midori. Together, they went to meet up with Najenda (who had apparently reclaimed her General rank in the Empire), informing her of an incoming threat that may wreak havoc upon the newly formed country unless they put a stop to it. Little did she know, she's not the only one with surprises.
