Departure

Oliver and Akame are sleeping while Kai is up. Kai is just humming, and looking at his knife.

Kai(in head): Hopefully we will find the power supply tomorrow, and be able to get outta here.

Akame starts rustling around before waking up.

Akame: Why are you up?

Kai: Keeping watch?

Akame: From?

Kai: Everything?

Akame: Me?

Kai: That's one of them?

Akame: I thought you trusted me?

Kai: I do.

Akame: Then why watch me?

Kai: For Oliver's protection.

Akame: That's not trust.

Kai: Yes it-

Akame: You don't trust me. You just don't fear me.

Kai:...

Akame: It's okay-

Kai: No, it really isn't.

Akame: You have the right idea. You shouldn't trust anyone.

Kai: How are you supposed to live your life if you don't trust anyone? You can't truly even spend time with another person. That's kind of miserable.

Akame: You survive.

Kai: But you aren't living.

Kai throws his knife to the other side of the room.

Kai: Akame.

Akame: Yeah?

Kai: You keep watch.

Akame smiles, and Kai goes to sleep. Kai starts dreaming, and it feels like the whole world shifts. Kai is now waking up, and Oliver is slaughtered. Akame is standing over his dead body covered in blood.

Akame: I didn't do it. You believe me, right?

Kai wakes up to see Akame by his side. She has a hand on his head.

Kai: Why?

Akame: You were having a nightmare.

Kai looks to Oliver. Oliver shrugs and shakes his head.

Kai: ALright, that's enough of that.

Kai gets up.

Oliver: We should probably go find that part.

Kai: Alright, hopefully we find one though.

All three of them go around the base trying to find a battery. After a few hours of search Kai finds a red stone. The stone is a deep blood red. The rock is so red that it isn't transparent, but light shines right through the rock.

Kai(in head): Wait, is this rock a magical item. If it is maybe it could give the communicator a charge. It could also be a regular fucking rock, and useless, but theres always hope.

A few hours later everyone meets up at the center of the base.

Kai: You guys find anything?

Akame shakes her head.

Oliver: NOPE!

Kai: Alright, I found a longshot.

Oliver: We're pretty desperate so…

Kai: I found this.

Kai holds out the red stone.

Oliver: That is a fucking rock.

Kai: Look a little harder.

Oliver: It's still a rock. A red rock, but a rock nonetheless.

Akame: A magic rock?

Kai: Exactly what I was thinking. If this rock is magic then it might be able to give the communicator enough energy to send out the signal. Probably won't work, but we can try.

Oliver: Alright, lets try.

Kai goes into the hut to work on the communicator. Oliver and Akame train outside. It took Kai about an hour to put in the power supply. He decided it would be better to just do it alone instead of worrying everyone else about it. After Kai sent the message it took a few hours before Akame and Oliver started asking questions.

Oliver: Are you done yet?

Kai: Yeah.

Oliver: Well then send the message-

A few helicopters fly over their heads.

Kai: I already did!

Oliver: I'll go get the artifact Reiter had.

Kai nods his head. Then Kai takes the stone out of the communicator before they all meet up where the helicopter lands. Waller comes out with a few guards.

Waller: I see you have completed your mission. Took a little longer than expected.

Kai: Both of our communicators broke.

Waller: We will work on a new design for them. Anyway, who is this woman?

Kai: This is Akame. I'm pretty sure she is stronger than me, and she is up for joining A.R.G.U.S.

Waller: Hmm, well we will test her out in our training. So, if Akame is going back to A.R.G.U.S where are you two going?

Oliver: I have to go to Russia. I have a promise to keep.

Kai: I'm gonna go see Slade before my next mission.

Oliver: Slade?

Kai: Yeah, Slade Wilson. The guy who adopted me, and raised me. He even got me this job a year ago.

Oliver: How?

Kai: What do you mean how?

Oliver: I put an arrow through Slade two years ago.

Kai: That's impossible. He was training me two years ago.

Waller: That's something you should find out yourself Kai. You should take a little time off because your next mission is going to take a few years.

Kai: Alright, I'm going to see Slade.

Akame walks up to Kai.

Akame: Thank you.

Kai: You don't need to-

She starts hugs him.

Kai: We'll see each other soon. Don't even worry about it!

Akame: No we won't.

She lets go, and gets on one of the helicopters. Kai walks over to Oliver.

Kai: It was good seeing you man.

Oliver: Yeah, I want you to know that I'll be in star city in hopefully a year, and you're always welcome to swing by.

Kai: You never know. I might have to.

Kai and Oliver shake hands. Then Oliver gets on a helicopter, and it flies off. Somewhere on the island Constantine sees the A.R.G.U.S ships take off.

Constantine: I see that Kai has found the artifact.

Constantine drops his cigarette, and stomps on it.

Constantine: I'll be seeing you, ya cock-up.

Finally Kai gets on a helicopter that flies him off to the argus base closest to his home. He ends up driving back home to see his house looking a little different. He knocks on the door, and a woman opens the door.

Kai: Excuse me ma'am. Do you happen to know Slade Wilson?

Older Woman: No I do not.

Kai: Then do you know anything about the owner of this house before you.

Older Woman: No one else has lived in this house except me. Are you okay sir?

Kai: Yeah, it's nothing. Must be the wrong house.

Older Woman: Okay then, have a good day.

Kai: You too.

She shuts the door, and Kai walks back to his car.

Kai(in head): I guess there is something weird going on there, but Slade is a problem for another day. Only another part of my past that I have to figure out. Like when I had to figure out my parents' killer. Oh, and whatever happened to stick too. I wonder if I will ever even see him again.

Kai drives back to the A.R.G.U.S base.

Waller: Your back already?

Kai: I have nowhere else to go.

Waller: Are you trying to tell me you're ready for your next mission.

Kai: Well, what's the mission?

Waller: You're going to have to infiltrate the league of assassins.

A few days later, Kai is walking on a path up a mountain.

Kai: Goddammit they have one billion helicopters, and they can't use one to fly me to the top of a mountain.

Kai looks at his communicator, and thinks back to Waller explaining how this one is different.

Waller: This communicator is different then the other devices you have used. There will be a guy waiting for you. He is about 3 minutes away. So expect him to be there around the four minutes mark. He will leave if you don't make it there by five minutes because of how dangerous the League is.

Kai brings his mind back to reality, and keeps climbing the mountain. Eventually, he makes it to the top of the mountain where he sees a building.

Kai: I'm finally here-

Three ninjas jump out of the surroundings.

Kai: Ninjas!

They all have swords, and ninja1 slices at Kai. Kai ducks under the blade, and sweeps ninja1's leg. Ninja1 falls, dropping his katana, and Kai grabs it. Then ninja2 thrusts his sword forward, and Kai dodges it. Ninja3 slashes at Kai, and Kai parries it with his sword. Ninja3 loses his balance from being parried, and Kai slices across his torso. Then kai hits ninja3 in the head with the handle of his blade.

Kai: Don't worry. It's just a flesh wound. He's not dead.

Ninja1 gets up, and moves his fists into a fighting position.

Kai: This is still two on one. It's not fair for you guys at all.

Kai throws his sword at ninja2. Which distracts ninja1.. Ninja1 runs at Kai, and they start having a fist brawl. Ninja1 goes for a kick, and Kai blocks it with his leg. Then ninja1 quickly tries to throw a right hook. Kai uses his right hand to deflect the punch, and punches ninja1 in the face with his left hand. Kai then kicks ninja1 in the knee. Which pops ninja1's bone out of his leg as he drops to one knee. Kai knocks him out with one last punch to the face. All of a sudden a sword comes out of nowhere. Kai rolls out of the way. Ninja2 was behind him.

Kai: That was a cheap shot, and you know it!

Ninja2 goes for an overhead strike to Kai with his sword. Kai catches the sword on the side with his palm Then Kai kicks ninja2 in the stomach. Ninja2 was pushed backward. He slashed at Kai. But he sidstepped and chopped the ninja on both sides of the wrist. He releases his sword. Kai then kicks ninja2 in the back of the knee and bonks him on the head with the ninja's sword hilt. knocking him out.

Kai: Well that was a little harder than I expected.

A man with a sword in each hand comes out.

Old Man: I see you are able to defeat my guards.

Kai: They were surprisingly weak.

Old Man: They were my three weakest soldiers. I would have been fine with you killing them. Every other assassin is in a whole other league compared to them.

Kai: I'm guessing you want to fight!

Old Man: You don't have a choice.

The man runs at Kai, and starts slashing at him with his blades. Kai can barely manage to block the hits. Some of this old man's slashes are giving kai cuts, but Kai is able to defend well enough that they are just minor injuries. Then the man pushes Kai back. Kai stumbles a bit, and the old man kicks his knee which breaks his leg. Kai's bone is popping out of his leg.

Kai: Ahh!

Kai falls onto the ground. The old man stomps on his other leg's knee, and breaks that leg too.

Old Man: That's for breaking my warriors legs. I didn't even have to try to beat you.

The old man stabs kai with his blades. He stabs one of the blades into Kai's stomach. The blades are just left in Kai as the old man walks back inside, and tells his guards to clean up his front yard.
