"Your what?" Akame asked, raising a brow.

"Oh, shit. " Kenji said.

"Sorry, I forgot that you're new to this. " He then proceeded to explain the supernatural to Akame, who had no reaction.

Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils, the Devil families, the Evil Pieces, his own backstory, meeting Valian and her Sacred Gear, explaining the Sacred Gear system, everything.

"Well, considering what I saw with the Empire…" she muttered. "I think I'd believe anything at this point.

Plus my Imperial Arms seems like one of those Sacred Gears you mentioned. "

"It kinda is, but it kinda isn't. " Kenji and Akame looked up, and they saw Shemhazai of all people in the doorway.

"Hey there, Shem. " Kenji said.

"What were you saying?"

"Well, I'll explain it to you, since you don't know. " Shemhazai said.

"About a thousand years ago, there was an Emperor of a great empire. He was apparently a massive bookworm, and liked to collect books on anything, including the supernatural-"

"Like you, then. " Kenji grinned.

Shemhazai ignored him.

"And he must have apparently came across the Sacred Gears, in a book or through experience. He then decided to attempt to replicate what the God of the Bible had done.

"

"What a task to take upon oneself. " Kenji said.

"Indeed. " Shem replied.

"He came pretty close to succeeding. He and the Empire's greatest scientists created 48 powerful weapons, known as Imperial Arms.

And I believe one of them is right there. " He pointed to the katana lying next to Akame.

"The One-Cut Killer: Murasame. Infects all beings it cuts with a poison curse that stops the heart and kills within seconds.

Is that correct?" Akame nodded.

"That's it. " She said.

"I've had it since I was younger. "

"Hmm. " Kenji hummed, looking at the sword.

'That would be a good addition to my peerage, but I don't want to force Akame to join. ' He closed his eyes.

'Ah, fuck it. What's the worst that could happen?'

"Hey, Akame?"

"Hmm?" Akame had picked up the box of fried chicken and was chowing down again.

"Would you be interested in joining my peerage?"

"What?" Akame swallowed and looked at Kenji. "What do you mean? What would happen if I became a part of your peerage?"

"Well" Kenji said, closing his eyes. "You'd get somewhere to stay, mainly here, you'd become a Devil-Dragon-Vampire hybrid, since my Evil Pieces synced to what species I happen to be, but you'd also become my servant.

" Akame was silent for a whole minute, just staring into the almost-empty box of chicken. After that, she said three words, while looking at Kenji.

"I'll do it. "

Kenji looked at Akame, with a small smile.

"Great. " He said.

"I'll get the Evil Piece I think would suit you. " He created a magic-circle and left.

A minute later, Kenji came back with one of his Evil Pieces: the Knight.

"The Knight. " Kenji explained to Akame.

"Knights have greatly enhanced speed and reflexes, and are very commonly skilled with a sword. "

"That suits me. " Akame smiled, taking the piece from Kenji.

At Kenji's encouragement, Akame slid the piece into herself. Right then, four wings sprouted from her back.

Two of the wings were the wings of Devils, and the other two were the sharp, dragonic wings of a Vampiric Dragon. Kenji noticed small fangs elongating from Akame's mouth, as well.

"Welcome to the team, Akame. " Kenji said, holding out a hand to Akame.

Akame took it and shook, silently.

'I mustn't get my hopes up. ' Akame thought.

'But I hope everyone stays alive, and aren't killed off tragically like in the events of the manga and anime. '

There was a distant scream from downstairs. Kenji recognised it as Valian's scream.

"OKAY, WHO'S BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL THIS TIME?!"

"Akame, head to the left! Erza, go right! Valian, stay in the air!" Kenji commanded Akame, Erza and Valian. The four of them were on a mission to take out a gang of stray Titans.

Titans were a species of beings that served the Greek Gods and Goddesses. Ranging from three meters to sixty meters tall, and taking a humanoid appearance, they survived on meat and blood, and ate it by the ton.

The meat that they ate was created for them by the Greek deity they served, and was extremely similar to the meat of animals, such as humans.

Titans did loyally serve their respective Greek deity (as they each had an army of them), in return for the meat and blood that the gods created for them, but sometimes, some went stray, looking for actual meat to eat. Which was why there were some in the countryside of the Grigori territory, and Kenji had volunteered, along with Valian, Erza and Akame, to go and take them out.

"Erza, promote!" Kenji roared.

"Got it!" Erza replied. "Promotion: Queen!" A silver light came over her, and she appeared in the silver armour that Azazel had created for her.

Erza had named it her 'Heaven's Wheel' armour, since when she wore it, Revy had sarcastically commented that Erza looked like a goddess, and she could create a wheel of swords from the armour whenever she wore it.

Erza spread the four metal wings, and flew into the air, preparing to engage the two Titans that were on the right.

"Akame, get behind the ones on the left and take them out!" Kenji shouted.

"On it, boss!" Akame replied, speeding up until she was just a blur.

"Valian! Use it and make sure they can't move!"

"On it, Kenji!" Valian cried. "BALANCE BREAKER!" Valian was engulfed in a white light for about fifteen seconds, and when the light cleared, a set of white dragon armour was in Valian's place.

Set within the armour were sapphire-blue gems, contrasting with the ivory colour of the armour, and Valian's Divine Dividing wings extended from her back.

[Balance Breaker, Divine Dividing!] Albion called. [Scale Mail!]

"You in there, Valian?" Kenji asked.

"Indeed. " Valian replied.

"Give me the order, and I'll reduce those Titans to snivelling moulds of flesh that can't muster up the strength to live!" Kenji was silent for a moment, before saying two words.
