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

Chapter 40

All people were running away after my little show. A shame the minister wasn't there.

Even Tatsumi was trembling, after he saw me 'to die'.

But Esdeath wasn't, even if it was a surprise for her. She was in her stance with a face of joy.

Esdeath:"Yes...yes! This feeling...this is the fight I wanted for so long!"

Me:"Then bring it on, but you won't like the result."

However, before she could reply she dogded a bullet just in time.

Esdeath:"What!?"

Me:"Wait...that was-"

Tatsumi:"Y/N! Up there!"

I looked where he pointed and there was Mine, with Pumpking still smoking.

Mine:"Get away from there now, or I swear the next bullet is for you two!"

She began to attack all around us, making a lot of smoke.

Tatsumi:"You idiot! Where are you aiming at!?"

Before everything was covered by the smoke, I noticed a shadow in the sky.

Me:"Najenda...so they're all here."

I noticed that Esdeath lost any interest in me and was now looking at her old comrade.

Esdeath:"So in the end you showed up, didn't you?"

Najenda:"It was something necessary."

Esdeath:"The traitor of the Empire. It's been a while, why don't we talk for some time? In the torture chamber."

Najenda:"I don't have so much to tell you. So I refuse."

In that moment we were surrounded by explosions in all the arena. I dashed to Tatsumi to protect him.

Me:"Are these bombs!? When did they put them here!?"

Tatsumi:"What do I know!? I was with you!"

In all that mess, I saw Esdeath falling in the room under the arena. But I also heard the voice of someone I almost forgot.

Budo:"So you came to save your friends, Night Raid!"

He threw a thunder against the beast Najenda was on, but she jumped in time with Susanoo and Leone.

Leone landed next to Mine, while the other two went to Esdeath.

Me:'Hold on. Where's Akame? I can't feel her.'

Ghost Rider:'You better stay focused kid.'

Me:"What?"

Budo:"Kneel in front of my teigu!"

He threw an other thunder and Mine was hit.

However Leone was able to grab her in time.

But that scene was enough to sense it again.

Someone was about to die that day.

Like Lubbock. And Chelsea. And Bulat. And Sheele.

Me:"No...not this day too!"

Leone was fighting Budo head-to-head when she grabbed him.

Leone:"Now! Fire!"

Budo:"Then you'll die as well."

Leone:"I trust my healing factor."

Mine:"I trust you!"

She attacked with Pumpkin, but the blow was stopped by a shield of electricity.
