Akame Ga Kill: Garou

Garou not bothering to wait anymore, charged toward Najenda. The assassins were shocked by Garou's reaction, but they still reacted fast enough. Susanoo stood in front of Najenda protectively, while Gato threw his axes toward the dashing Garou from the right side. Simultaneously, Mine who was standing on top of the near mounting shot an energy bullet to Garou's left side. From behind, Tatsumi ran after Garou intending to strike him from the back.

In mere moments, Garou was in front of Susanoo, with an energy bullet heading to his head from the left, a flying axe to the neck from the right and an armoured fella right behind him. Garou was not worried in the slightest, he extended his hand and caught the axe midair, he then proceeded to throw it in the direction of the bullet flawlessly. The axe cut through the bullet. It flew directly toward the source with alarming speed, slightly faster than the energy bullet. Mine who saw the axe heading toward her ducked immediately avoiding a deadly injury.

Through all of this, Garou didn't slow down at all. He stood in front of Susano and punched out. Susanoo blocked the blow but not without him getting pushed back. Garou was not done yet, but Tatsumi caught up with him. Tatsumi stabbed toward the back of Garou with intent to kill him, but Garou was still faster. Without any delay, Garou rotated around while sending a kick changing the direction of the spear. He didn't stop his momentum there, he used his other leg to kick Tatsumi in the head sending him flying away.

Susanoo, seeing Tatsumi thrown away, didn't sit still, he attacked with his mace. However, Garou turned back and caught the mass with a single hand stopping Susanoo in his track. Behind Susanoo, Najenda jumped to the side and punched with her metallic arm. Garou looked a the approaching piece of junk and hit it with his free hand. Najenda's eyes widened as her metallic arm was shattered to pieces upon contacting Garou's arm. She cursed internally and jumped back to create some distance.

Garou felt a slight wind moving behind him and realized immediately someone was trying to attack him from a blind spot. He snorted lightly and rotated fastly with Susanoo's mace in hand, forcing Susanoo to rotate alongside him. Garou saw Akame pointing her katana at him and about to strike, but he didn't slow down, he used Susanoo's body as a weapon to hit Akame. The sheer force made Susanoo let go of his mace and get knocked away alongside Akame.

Garou looked back at Najenda, she was staring at him with visible fear. The way he took her subordinates one after another so quickly and destroyed her arm reminded her of Esdeath, but a much stronger version, she couldn't help but step back. He smirked and moved closer to her while still holding the mass. Suddenly, few knives came toward him from the side, Garou used the mace to block them and looked at the source. Lubbock stood there with wires surrounding him. Lubbock said "Don't get c.o.c.ky!!!"

Garou didn't reply, he simply smirked and throw the mace toward Lubbock, who shaped his wires in front of him in the shape of a shield. Mace clashed with the shield and stopped momentarily before breaking through and hitting Lubbock in the c.h.e.s.t, knocking him down. Lubbock coughed blood as his consciousness faded away.

Garou ignored the green dwarf and continued toward Najenda, but to Garou's disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, he was interrupted again. Sai manipulated all the water in the area and sent flying blades made of water toward Garou, who deflected them with ease.

Sai looked at Najenda and said hurriedly "If this continues, we will be defeated here! We should retreat for now and figure how to take him down later."

Najenda's mind started working again after hearing Sai, her eyes hardened as she ordered "Sai, Gato, Leone and Susanoo keep him busy. Tatsumi carry Lubbock and retreat. Akame go get Mine"

All Nightraid's members followed their leader's orders without delay. While Najenda retreated to get her tamed flying beast to carry them and leave this place.

Garou snorted when he heard them, retreat on his watch? It won't be that easy. He was about to go after Najenda again when water started surrounding him. Garou narrowed his eyes and looked at Sai, he began to get annoyed by him, this was the second time he interrupts him. Sai smirked seeing Garou's face not realizing the danger he was in, he spoke "Don't be in a hurry, let's play a little."

"Be careful, He is extremely dangerous and vicious" Leone said as she got closer. She still remembered her beating from the last time.

Gato stared at Garou with red eyes, to him Garou was the reason he couldn't avenge his brother. He hated Garou second only Kurome. Susanoo retrieved his mace and came back to encircle Garou alongside the others.

"Do you think a group of weaklings can stop me? Once I'm done with you, it will be that bitch turn" Garou said.

"We will not allow you touch boss even if we died here" Leone said with determination.

"Big words from an ant. What about this... by the end of the day your boss...." Garou paused for a moment and looked at them then his smirk widened as he pointed at Gato as he said cruelly "That axe will find a sheath in her body."

The assassins eyes hardened hearing his words, they won't allow Garou to have his way no matter what. Sai used the water to attack Garou from all direction and blocking Garou's vision, so his teammates attack become more effective. Garou rotated around destroying the water attacks around him. When he was done, Susanoo was upon him with his mace again. Unlike the last time, Garou didn't block the mace but attacked Susanoo's arms directly. Garou's arms blurred around Susanoo's arms before anyone could realize what happened, Susanoo's arms shattered like glass.

Susanoo looked with shock at Garou, who narrowed his eyes in return. Garou proceeded to punch Susanoo's head with enough force that the head exploded to pieces just like his arms. Under the horrified eyes of the Nightraid's assassins, Susanoo's headless and armless body fell on the ground with a thud sound.

"YOU BASTARD!!!" Gato charged angrily toward Garou, he swang his axe with all of his might. Still, before it could connect, Garou's fist slammed his face breaking his teeth and nose. Gato body flew and slammed into the rocks, his body was planted in the rocks as he was knocked out cold. Leone gritted her teeth and used her single arm to carry a huge rock and threw it with all of her might toward Garou.

Garou laughed as he redirected the incoming rock toward Sai with one of his hands while the other punched the rock shattering it to pieces. The result was small stones moving as if they were bullets. Sai tried to block, but he could only prevent few as the rest pierced his body. He screamed in pain as he fell down.

Garou looked at the shocked Leone and said "Am I the only one getting a deja vu here? You again is the last one standing against me"

Leone clenched her fist, she knew this battle was hopeless, but she refused to go down without trying at least. Just when she was to make one last desperate attack, she noticed Akame approaching them at full speed while carrying Mine on her back. Mine was pointing her gun at Garou.

Leone took a deep breath and steeled her eyes jumping at Garou if she could take all of his attention and get hit by Mine, then even if she died, it would be still worth it. Sadly for her, Garou noticed the change in her behaviour and the direction she looked at for instant. He knew another sneak attack coming his way. But he kept smiling without showing any sign of noticing it.

When Leone got closer to him, Mine shot her energy toward his back. The bullet was travelling with amazing speed, adding the relatively small distance separating them, it was near Garou almost instantly. Mine smiled as she shot, she was sure she was going to hit Garou. However, her smiling face turned into a horrified one almost immediately.

Garou suddenly rotated around with abnormal speed. The bullet, which was about to him moved with him as if it was single body then separated from him and continued toward Leone. The shot cut her remaining arm from the shoulder or shredded it for lack of better term. Leone fell on ground as Garou turned to look at the shocked Akame and Mine, he raised his hand which had lines of thin smoke coming from it.

"How cruel of you!!! Shooting your own friend. Assassins really are merciless group of bastards." Garou said mockingly.

"YOU F.U.C.KER!!!" Mine cursed out loud.

"YOU BASTARD!!" Tatsumi voice rang out from above.

Garou and everyone turned toward the voice, Tatsumi was sitting on top of a flying beast alongside Lubbock and Najenda. He was about to jump, but Najenda stopped him. She couldn't allow another one to fall under the hands of Garou.

The beast descended down as Najenda observed the sight with anger. Susanoo, Gato, Sai and Leone were injured by Garou. She had no doubt if Akame, Mine and Tatsumi were to attack him now, then they will join the rest. She took a deep breath then looked at Susanoo's body and said "Activate Trump card 'Magatama Manifestation'"

She fell on her knees as she felt her life force seeping away. On the ground, Susanoo's body started floating, and the shattered pieces started reattaching itself. Afterwards, Susanoo went under a transformation, his upper body became more muscular and n.a.k.e.d, while his eyes turned golden and his hair to silver with purple shade. His mace became a long heavy sword.

"So this is your trump card? I guess it is similar to Koro's trump card. Increase in speed and strength, or maybe you have something else to show me?" Garou smirked seeing the transforming.
