A Ghost Rider's Journey Vol. 5: Sinners For Justice(X Akame Ga Kill)

Chapter 33

The explosion devastated our surrounding, turning it in a crater.

Just an instant before the detonation, I was able to protect me with my chains.

Me:"Gh...if I knew the tank could explode, I would have destroyed it..."

Ghost Rider:'That's because you let your guard out. It was obvious he wouldn't have left easily."

Me:"Yes...I knew he was ready to die...but I thought I could save him..."

But I noticed something. I could still feel his soul.

Me:"...He's alive...but how did he...?"

Ghost Rider:'Are you sure you should worry of that?'

Me:"What do you...shit, the others!"

I immediately ran to see how the fight against Kurome and her puppets was going.

However, I noticed the others coming to me.

Tatsumi:"Y/N! Are you alright!?"

Akame:"What was that explosion!?"

I returned back to normal while the others reached me.

Me:"I'm glad to see you're fine...Leone, what happened to your arm!?"

Her left arm was cut in half and she was holding the piece.

Leone:"A gift of that b***h. Don't worry though, I'll heal with no problem."

Me:"I see...uh?"

I finally noticed that Susanoo was very different.

His shirt was ripped, showing his naked chest. His hair became white and he had a big circle made of stone behind him.

Me:"Is that you, Susanoo?"

Susanoo:"Yes, this is my trump card, 'Magatama Manifestation'."

Najenda:"He use the user's life to reach this form, allowing him to show his true power."

I turned to her.

Me:"The user's...it means your life?"

Najenda:"Yes...there's a limit of three times. I can still use it two times before I die."

Tatsumi:"Anyway, what happened? Did you do this?"

I shook my head looking back.

Me:"No, Bols detonated the tank of his teigu and he was able to escape. And what about you?"

Akame:"Kurome escaped..."

Leone:"The explosion allowed her to flee."

Tatsumi:"But at least now she has only two puppets."

Me:"I see..."

Then I felt a soul fading. The soul of someone I recognised.

Me:'...This...'

Najenda:"Something's wrong, Y/N?"

Me:"...I must check something...I'll return as fast as I can..."

Without caring of the other's questions, I called for my bike and went at full speed.

But when I arrived, I was greated by Bols' body. Dead.

I left the bike and gave him a look. There was a little hole behind his neck small like a needle.

What broke my heart, was that he was crying.

Me:"Damn!...I'm sorry...the least I can do is to bury you properly..."

Thanks my chains and strenght I just took a couple of minutes.

Me:"I'd like to tell your family...if only I knew who they are..."

???:"Y/N? What are you doing here?"

I turned to the right and saw Lubbock standing there.

Me:"Lubbock. Still here I see."

Lubbock:"My strings warned me of a presence, and I honestly hoped it was Chelsea."

Me:"Chelsea? Why, what's the problem?"

Lubbock:"She chose to transform in Bols after killing him and chose to kill Kurome alone."

Me:"What?"

And then it came. That disgusting feeling.

Something I knew to much.

Me:"...Lubbock...go telling the others...I'll try to reach her as fast as I can."

Lubbock:"I'm going right away. Although she has a lot of advantage right now..."

Me:"I don't care."

I transformed and jumped on my bike, going at full speed.

I had no idea of the direction she went, so I just took a direct path to the Capital.

I was very confused. Why attacking someone like Kurome if neither all the team made it? It has no sense.

And then I realised. Her puppets.

Kurome had only two puppets left, so Chelsea wanted to prevent her to obtain other six.

Me:"But still, why didn't she wait for reinforcement? That idiot!"

I kept going all out until I reached a field of flower.

And something made me stop.

Me:'What? What's this? Why did I stop? I...'

I looked around to understand when I noticed something.

The flowers around me were pink and violet.

Me:'Then what is that red?'

I gave a better look and I had my answer.

Blood. And fresh too.

Me:"...No....NO!"

I left again at full speed, noticing a blood trail.

Me:"Don't you dare...don't you f***ing dare!"

As if it wasn't enough, it started raining.

Yeah, I guess you kinda expected that, didn't you?

Anyway, the blood trail proceeded in the Capital, so I left the bike returning normal and ran at full speed.

Since I didn't want to be noticed, I used the alleys.

Until I noticed a small crowd gathered around something.

Me:"What are they looking at?"

I gave a better look and noticed that 'something' was a pole.

With blood flowing on it.

Me:"...No..."

I hesitantly looked up, and I saw the source of that blood.

Impaled on the top of the pole was Chelsea's head.

I kept staring at her eyes widen.

I clenched my fists so tight I felt blood on my hands.

And I let out a roar that no thunder could surpass.
