Chapter 10: Chapter 10

"That was a pretty entertaining Fight."

"It made taking on all those Danger Beats and coming here on my own worth it." Smiled Esdeath as around her Gravekeepers were spiked up in a Ice..

*RATTLE*

A old man with an bald head smiles coldly at Esdeath..

"So I´m the only one left... and here I´m supposed to be retired.. With a sigh he transform in a bear

*CRICK*

"Not only will I battle you, I´ll tear you to shreds, Empire wench."

"So it´s a Bear this time, is it?"

"I hunted a lot of those when I was a little Girl." with a nostalgic look says Esdeath.

"In close combat I have never been Bested."

"Will you still challenge me?" As he prepares his stance..

With a cold grin

"Sounds fun."

"I´m in."

As Esdeath said that the old bear runs forward with a charge..

*CHARGE*

"You´ll regret it!!"

As he said that Esdeath jumps and kicks her heel at his head

*TWACK*

"GBAH!?"

As the old man falls down, Esdeath touches his neck

*WHOOO*

"Everything freezes before me." said Esdeath with a cold breath..

"GUG..."

*CRICK*

"HNNN!?"

"What happened to you being undefeated in close combat?"

"That was too easy." says esdeath as she smiles coldly.

"HUPF" "HUPF"

"I...I´l break out of this Ice."

*CRICK*

"NNNNNGH"

"Looks like a futile Struttgle to me." as the Ice grows and grows...

She turns around and touches her neck..

"A Teigu that controls Ice... What a marvelous Power I´ve come into."

*PLIK*

"Y-you Imperial wretch...!"

"What did we ever do to you!!?" Screamed the old man before he freezes..

With a last look Esdeath glances at him and said

"You were targete because you´re weak and wealthy."

"You should have recognized your own Weakness sooner and paid yearly Tribute to the Empire as insurance."

"That´s all."

"Us...Weak...?"

"It...Can`t...Be..." That were the last words...

*PLINKT*

"...For the last man standing, that was ver awfully quick."

*WHOOO*

As she walks away she came to a girl that was already caged in Ice..

"Hey."

"Aren´t there any stronger guy here?"

"EE!?"

With tears in here eyyes she said..

"Th-There´s the Boss.."

"B-But I don´t think he´s as strong as you..."

As she said that Esdeath kicks at the Ice cage and shatters her entire Body..

*SHATTER*

with a sigh Esdeath says

"Those with fragile Hearts are no Fun."

"They surrender so quickly."

"I suppose I´ll return to the Battlefield." As she hit with her heel with a bit Power on the ground every single Ice spike exploded..

*ClIK*

I´ll leave the tasty part to the lackeys." As she walks away..

*SHATTER*

somewhere else...

"...The Gravekeepers have been wiped out..."

"...We lost..."

As the old man said that.. If the boss dies.. Then this Mausoleum will be... Destroyed..

"The whole Tomb... Is shaking!?"

*CRMBL*

As I evade the bricks that falls down..

*SLAM* As we run to escape the Tomb..

"I get it. So this is what he meant."

*RUMBLE*

"When the general falls, the whole place does too!?"

*RUMBLE*

"We`re getting out of here!!" I said as I rush in the front to smash the bricks that falls infront of us to block our way..

somewhere else..

"The Gravekeepers must have triggered a self-estruct mechaism now that their Leader´s been defeated..." Says Najasho as he runs around to find the exit with Poney on his back..

*SLAM*

"We´ve gotta get out of here - Fast."

"Im sure the other Shrimps are doing to the same.. With a grim look Najasho says that."

with a sad smile Poney said..

"Hey Chief...You should leave me behind."

I´m only slowing you down..."

"Quiet."

"Just hauling you doesn`t affect my speed."

With a smile on her face she says

"Thank you."

As they run some Gravekeepers came in their way but Najasho just cuts through them.. But still time gets lost..

*SLASH*

"There´s no other Route. We´ll have to carve one out ourselves." Says Najasho as he activates his Shingu

------

"Another fork in the Road... And there´s so many Options." says Natala with a calm breath.

"I just hope no enemies come..." says Kurome with a hopeful face..

"Which path sould we take?" says Gin as she glances at me.

I see that Gin looks at me

"There´s no time. But if we take the wrong route, we´re done for. We can´t rush this, but we do have to hurry!" I look at Green if he has some idea..

"I know what you´re saying."

"Let´s figure it out together." said Green as we dicussed this

*CRMBL*

"Akame watch out!!!" As I appear in front of her and smash the boulder to dust.

"Don´t get lost in your thoughts Akame!"

"We are still not out of here!"

"..Thank you."

"..Sorry Hiro."

"Sister?? Is everything allright?"

"Yeah im fine.." says Akame with a slight smile..

I glance at her and notice her face that says everything.. She thinks about the words that the Gravekeeper said.. I just can´t understand how someone can sacrifice himself for someone one doesn´t even know... Just as I wanted to speak to her about that..

"We´ve figured out the Path."

"Let´s hurry." said Green and Tsukushi as we run outside at Najasho and Poney..

"That took some time, but we should be outside soon." said Najasho as he jumps on the stairs

"We´ll just barely make it."

"I hope my wounds heal fully... I wouldn`t want to be a burden to the others." With a sad look Poney said that.

"I´ll pick up the slack until you´re better."

"Keeping up with the other Shrimps will be easy."

"...Oh, Chief.."

*SQUEEZE*

As they jumped from the stairs they noticed a Bridge on the way.. But the prblem was was that the Bridge broke down..

*WHOOO*

"N-No....After we got so far!"

*RUMBLE*

"Brace yourself."

"We´re gonna jump it." said Najasho as he prepares himself

*ZSH*

"I don´t care how effecte the Shingu is. You really think it can get us that far?!"

"It´s our only Shot.."

Before Poney could say something else..

"...Here goes.." He jumps from the ground as they reached the half...

"Tch.."

"We´re not going to make it.." As Poney thought that Najasho grabs Poney..

*GRIB*

and throws her to the other Bridge side...

*THUD*

"Why...?" Screames poney

with tears in her eyes.. "NAJASHOOO!!!"

And the whole Tomb crumbles to the ground.....

*RUMBLE*

"How many managed to escape?.. Said Gozuki as he saw us appearing from the bricks..

----------

"Guy... and Chief too... cried Tsukushi out..

Akame looks at that as she tried to keep up her calm face .

"...We don´t know for sure yet."

"He wasn´t badly Injured. He only fell into a Chasm."

"I can´t believe it´d be enough to kill a Guy like Najasho."

"Akame..." said Poney as she looked at her

with a smile on his face Green said

"It´s True. I bet he´ll suddenly turn up on our Doorstep."

I just walk outside as I hear them talking.. I couldn´t keep my smile any longer as I heard them talking about that.. I searched for a spot alone and took my Book out to read a bit... As I read I noticed I couldn`t enjoy it one single bit.. As I learned from Najasho that it could make fun to read..

"Tzk.." I just throw the book away as I lay down on a boulder I just looked at the sun..

"Hiro come with me." Said Gozuki as he appeared in front of me.

"Mhm" I just mumble as I walk along with him..

*ZSH*

As I notice the others around the Corpse Gozuki just told me

"Take a look at this corpse."

"At first glance, he looks unscathed, right?"

But upon closer Inspection, check this out." As he turns around the corpse I notice a short cut

"Even though he´d been cut by the Enemy. It was only a graze, so he probably didn´t think it was worth Reporting."

"But in the end it was a Poison that got him."

"Make sure you don´t let this happen to ANY of you guys." with grim looks we look at this..
