CHAPTER 5. Welcome to Night Raid.

It took them a good twenty minutes to arrive back at base. Well, for Bulat at least. It seemed that the armored fellow possessed speed when he was in that particular form. Leone was right on his tail due to her heightened speed provided by her teigu while the others would stay behind by about fifteen minutes before they could get back to base, but that wasn't the case here, though. Leone and Bulat were attending to their wounded acquaintances and… well, Ben wasn't wounded but close enough. From her earlier condition, it was clear that Sayo wasn't going to last long if she didn't receive the proper medical treatment immediately. Leyasu and Tatsumi are gone, and Ben had no choice but to accept that; however, he wasn't going to let the same thing happen to Sayo. He had thought of the girl like a sister and he had small feelings for her back when they were still in the village, and he wasn't going to let her die.

Not with him around.

'Hang in there, Sayo!' Ben thought to himself as he sneaked a glance behind him. 'I swear on my life, I won't let you die! You're going to survive this, Sayo! I promised Tatsumi and Leyasu that I'd take care of you, and I don't want to break that promise! Despite me always being blunt and cold to my enemies or people who get it my way thanks to you guys I now remember what it feels like to be human once again with remorse after spending months with you three.'

Upon arrival, Ben went with Leone into the medical facility, the girl placing the unconscious Sayo on the bed while Ben  quickly washed his hands with hot water and soap to prepare himself for what was next. His coat, which was covering Sayo's naked body, was already stained with her blood and it must mean that she was losing her blood at a fast rate, which could lead to death if not treated immediately and due to it he couldn't give her ambrosia.

( Note: He's currently wearing the actual clothes of Hajime without the coat except it's a green blazer and a buttoned black shirt underneath it, along with a black cravat terminated by a ring tied around his neck and also still have his eyepatch. )

It was after he finished washing his hands that the doctor who would attend to Sayo, came inside. However, the brunette paid the newcomer no heed as he went over to Sayo and began to inspect her body, checking out her wounds to see how much damage she took and if there was a chance that she would be alright. No matter how small of a chance that may be, he'd take it if it meant saving the life of his remaining friend he made here.

The doctor crossed his arms and sighed. "Kid, you shouldn't be touching the body. I know that you want to save her, but you need to leave this matter to a professional. You need to leave now so that I can check and see what injuries she sustained."

"I'm both a fighter and a healer back in the place where I come from." The young man responded, not averting his gaze from Sayo's figure for a second. "I've seen my fair share of injuries like this… but… medical treatment has never been my specialty in all my years in treating people, so I'm not well-versed in everything." He said. 'Although, I haven't deal with such injuries before my time in Tortus and I just often heal my comrades with Ambersodia Healing water if the wounds are not too severe.' He thought before looking at the Doctor.

The doctor nodded. "I see… alright then, this is your friend, correct? Since you came here with her, I'm going to assume that you knew what happened that caused her to be like this. I'm trusting your judgment on this, but remember that we are trying to save her life here. So, what do we have to work on?"

"Sayo was brutally beaten and she sustained so many cuts she…" He paused for a few seconds to take a deep breath, trying to forget the horrible sight of his friend hanged in that disgusting shed. "She needs a blood transfer… my blood will do since we have the same blood type."

( Note: Ben's blood type throughout the entire Omniverse along with his variants is dedicated as Unknown same with Hajime Nagumo so for the sake of the Story we're gonna used Tatsumi's Blood type which is Type O and this version of Ben I'm using is No watch Ben from my crossover of Ben 10 X Arifureta so his basically the cold and blunt type in this story like Hajime as for his blood I was gonna make him not used his blood for the transfer due to his demonic transformation from the abyss so we might not know how it'll affect Sayo. )

Ben then thought of not giving his blood as a blood donation to the transfer but knowing the bad state of his only friend in this world he couldn't refuse. 'Damnit, I have no choice but to give her my blood. I don't know how it'll affect her biology but if it's going to save Sayo, I'll give it.' He thought and looked at the Doctor in determination. "Look, I don't care if I have to give away half of mine, I just want to save her… can you quickly set it up?" He asked.

"Yes." The doctor said, quickly setting up the blood transfer unit, before moving quickly so he can focus on Sayo. After five minutes, the blood began to pump from Ben's veins and into Sayo. "I'm quite impressed kid… you were spot on about this girl… all she needed was a blood transfer. Her wounds will either heal up completely or become permanent scars. Either way, they aren't that too serious for injuries. Just became scary cause of their numbers. But, it was a good thing that it didn't take long for you to get her here… a few more minutes later and she might have died."

He turned his gaze towards Sayo. "Will she be alright?" He asked out of concern, also feeling himself become slightly weakened due to the increasing amount of blood that was getting drained out of him. But he's not worried because it has Magical and alien properties so he knew it'll regain back the normal amount of blood that he gave to Sayo. 'Despite having the same Blood type, I don't know how much it'll change Sayo.' He thought.

"Yeah. She might wake up tomorrow or maybe the day after that, who knows? What's important right now is that she gets the proper rest and sleep for her recovery."

"That's a relief…" Ben sighed in happiness. "Good thing I reached this place just in time…"

The doctor chuckled. "You sound like you're really good friends with her."

Ben rubbed the back of his head. "I haven't known her for long, despite how I acted to her and her friends when I first met them. I grew attached to them and considered them as family after spending so much time with them for a couple of months. And now I consider her as my best friend. Well, one of my best friends… the other two didn't make it and I wasn't even able to help one of them at the very least."

"I'm sorry for your loss." The doctor said and silence took over the place for a few seconds before he stood up. "Well, I have some other patients to work on. I will have a nurse do some rounds every half hour to check on Sayo, then." The doctor said, washing his hands from all the blood before looking at the monitor on the blood transfer that he was in shock afterwards.

"Ah shit!" The doctor cursed, rushing over immediately and unhooked Tatsumi from the blood transfer unit. He turned his eyes back to the monitor and shook his head. "You've given up 2 liters of blood. This isn't good. NURSE!" The doctor roared. "I'm terribly sorry Ben, I didn't mean to take so much."

"It's fine. I'm doing this for Sayo's sake." He responded calmly, but it clearly meant the opposite internally.

The nurse came in quickly. "Help escort Benjamin back to Night Raid and get him some fluids! He needs a lot of water quickly."

She nodded. "Yes sir."

Ben felt just fine while he was sitting down but as soon as the nurse pulled him to his feet, he felt extremely dizzy and collapsed in the nurse's arms almost immediately before his arm was slung over the woman's shoulders and got out of there.

~~~~~~~~~~~

After a five minute walk, Ben was in a spare bedroom, sitting on the bed while he was drinking a large bottle of water. "Damn, this place looks pretty fine for a hideout… makes me wonder how they are not being found yet…" He joked before throwing the empty bottle accurately inside the nearby trash can. He then yawned strongly before he collapsed back in the bed in an awkward position. He changes his clothes into his oversized green shirt and blue jeans. ( like the one Hajime wore when his not out doing any adventurer stuff. )

'I hope Sayo wakes up soon… anyway, so… Night Raid, huh? They don't seem to be evil like what the wanted posters all over the city are saying… if anything, that damn family is worse than them… I'll have to thank them for helping Sayo when she wakes up before we leave this place. Hang, I did say that I'd go willingly with them just earlier back at that mansion, so that means… no, that's impossible. There is no way that they'll recruit someone like me and I doubt they'll let us stay because of what I did to Akame… argh, forget it. I'm gonna think about this when I wake up.' He thought to himself before snuggling into his pillow, sleeping peacefully.

Little did he know that fate had something better in store for him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After 2 hours had passed, Ben woke up literally with a jump and let out a yawn, feeling revitalized and at the same time, still a bit sleepy. But it was then that he found out Leone, the blonde woman from the night before, was in his room sleeping just beside the bed, leaning against the mattress.

"What the?" Ben blinked in confusion for a few seconds and quietly moved out of the bed, letting the girl sleep. He slowly reached over and lifted her up and onto the bed, internally hoping that he didn't wouldn't wake her up and it was a good thing that he didn't. Ben didn't know but he smiled softly remembering a certain Vampire almost did the same to him when he went back to his room shaking the thoughts off he moved out of the room before he made his way down the hallway to the left. He got lost just within five minutes of exploring, but he finally found his way out after half an hour of wandering around the hallways. He ended up in the large dining room, which in the middle there was a large table that was currently empty but took up half of the room. The kitchen was right next to the table so it meant that food was always nearby. Right now, he saw Akame behind the stove, wearing an apron while cooking up some vegetables before she went on to chop up meat.

Since her senses were much better than a normal person's, she was able to detect Ben's presence in the room when he stepped inside, but she didn't say a thing. However, when he went closer towards her, Akame turned to him and looked at his face.

"You're up." She said in her signature monotonous voice.

He grinned in embarrassment while also blushing slightly, silently admiring Akame's cute look with her hair tied in a ponytail while also wearing an apron. "Yeah… I ended up getting lost in this huge place."

"Understandable." Akame replied, returning to her cooking while also trying to resist the pain she felt in her chest area. The wound she suffered from last night during her battle against Ben was the main reason why she wasn't able to get the proper sleep.

It was then Ben noticed that there was a red piece of cloth from underneath her shirt that covered her right breast, showing that she was still injured and was in pain. He also noticed that her beautiful face still hasn't recovered from the beating that she received last night.

Ben's voice took a serious turn. "Get on the table. I need to fix that wound. It ain't gonna disappear just because you covered it up. And those bruises on your face need treatment otherwise it will affect you." He told her firmly.

"I'm fine. It's not deep and it'll heal up tonight. These bruises will be gone immediately once I get a good sleep." She insisted.

"No, they won't." Ben said as he turned off the stove and grabbed Akame by her arm before he gently picked her up and headed towards the table with a serious expression on his face. She didn't struggle and just looked at him, although a faint blush could be seen on her cheeks at his sudden move.

After he gently laid her on top of the table, Akame noticed that he was still shirtless, as he left his stuff back at Aria's mansion. Ben then pulled out a small knife from his waist pocket before he gently pulled up Akame's shirt and revealed her white bra which Ben removed as well. Using his knife, he cut through the red cloth that was covering up the wound on her chest and the girl was left topless in front of him.

Sure he had seen naked women before but he didn't know Akame yet so he couldn't help but blushed at seeing the naked body of a female, but he ignored it and gently laid her back on the table, before he grabbed a small box from his Blue jean pants. Inside it was a bronze like bullet makeshift bottle. There was also another bottle filled with green liquid, and there was a larger one filled with a reddish brown liquid. But the one he took was the Bronze bullet makeshift bottle which has a grayish liquid inside.

"The bullet may not hit vital organs and even if it went through the side of your breast the one I shot you with last night has poison coated its shell. It's used as an alternative for killing my enemies if in any case I can't finish them off immediately and if I have a hard time in fighting." Ben explained, looking into her red eyes.

"A smart tactic." She complimented before looking up at the ceiling. "I never expected your bullets to be poisonous and that you have incredible eyesight, though. You caught me off guard."

'In other words, he has a one-shot killer like me…' She thought in her mind, imagining both Ben's Guns and her own sword at the same time.

"Well, I don't normally use such tactics because I'm confident in my abilities but after living in that mountain village I discovered a rare poisonous plant that grows there that the villagers cultivate regularly and use as poison if ever they needed to defend themselves. The green liquid is the poison itself and it's made by directly getting the juice out of the leaves. Although I do have the antidote for but, I have this special herbs that heals quickly in this bronze bottle which I called ambrosia, it's a liquid I found on a hot springs I found in the mountains so I pick several of them for emergency, although I do have the antidote themselves despite it made by the same plant, it's only done when the plant matured and boiled in hot water so the antidote is less common than the poison, but I refer Ambersodia because it heals any poisons and wounds quicker. So, A few days before me and my friends got to the Capital, I applied the poison to some of my bullets." He told Akame. 'Well, those were just ordinary Lead bullets so even if they're not coated with said poisons, I can still kill every enemy I face with one-shot without them even having mana charged.' He thought.

"I see." Akame said, staying calm despite the slight embarrassment at being naked in front of a boy. This got Ben to freak out for a bit, but he had no idea who the girl really was and what her attitude was.

Things were silent between them while he was trying to figure out how to cure her properly before Akame spoke once again.

"May I ask where your guns come from? Did you make them? When I saw it last night, they had unique designs and that slightly resembled my own weapon. If you did, then you must be a skilled gunsmith in whatever village you came from."

"Hmm, Okay you got me I made them." Ben admitted. "Although those are not just the weapons I made, I have tons that I made out of rare minerals and "Danger Beasts" that I could kill." It wasn't a lie although he made his weapons when he was trapped into the abyss for his survival he uses demon monsters stones and skin to make them and after saying that nonchalantly that caused her eyes to widen slightly. So he is a gunsmith after all then?

Ben would normally pour the ambrosia to Akame's wound quickly but seeing how almost deep it was where he shot her he needed to stitch them together and saw he steadied himself and took a deep breath before pulling out the needle and gently wiped it with the soft cloth inside the box before placing the thread through its eye. He gently put a few drops of the antidote onto the wound, watching it sizzle a bit that caused Akame to hiss a bit in pain.

After he examined her reaction to it, he took another big breath and steadied himself before placing his right arm on her bare breasts, using his left hand to grope her right breast and hold it still as he plunged the needle into Akame's sensitive flesh, earning a another hiss from the red-eyed assassin.

"A-Are you sure that you can cure it?" She asked with a tinge of doubt in her voice.

"Well, there is a quicker way for me to heal the wound, but you wouldn't like me after that." Ben said as he tried to sew up the wound on her tit.

"I have a feeling that you are right, and I gotta admit you seem to be calm about this situation… how do you know so much about this if you're more experienced in fighting?"

"Well to tell you the truth, it's from experience." Ben told her, causing her to raise an eyebrow.

"Experience?" Akame asks him.

"Not something I would like to share but long-story short, it's something to do with how I got this metal arm. And that's the end of that. And so to sustain injuries and wounds while doing so and as a result, I learn not only how to fight and defend, but also to heal. I may not look like it, but I've encountered and healed many injuries during my time fighting for survival, Akame." Akame did not want to bring up any more bad memories about his arms so she nodded in understanding.

"All right. I was just trying to make sure that you know what you're trying to do."

"Who do you think I am? Some kind of perverted freak?" He joked, before going right back to work.

He gently squeezed her breast that got her to gasp, which allowed him to continue to do his work. He continued on repeating this same process for a few more times to make sure that it wouldn't hurt her when he uses the needle. It took a few minutes, but he managed to completely sew up the wound on her breast, closing it.

"You alright?" Ben asked the blushing female.

"I'm alright… just stung a little." She replied, taking a few deep breaths because she felt like she was in total bliss with what he was doing earlier. It was a completely new feeling to her, but she liked it.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't have any painkillers on me. So, I did what I could to calm you down." He admitted, rubbing the back of his head out of embarrassment.

"It sure worked." Spoke a teasing voice.

Ben looked up and he spotted Leone who had a teasing smile on her face before he looked at the second female who came in. It was a taller, platinum-white haired female with an eye patch and If you looked closely she and Ben could be twins but then decided not to joke about how they look alike.

"So, who is this and what are you two doing exactly?" Asked the white-haired woman with a small smirk on her lips. Despite also seeing how similar she is to the young man she didn't word it out.

With cute eyes, Akame looked over towards Leone. "Playing doctor." She said in a blank tone. This got Leone to start laughing her butt off, enjoying the red face that Ben had.

"We are not playing doctor! I was just sewing up one of the wounds!" He defended, shaking his head furiously to deny whatever Leone was trying to say.

"On her breast which you were groping!" The blonde girl laughed out, laughing between her own words that even the woman beside her couldn't help but stifle back a chuckle out of amusement.

"She had a wound on her breast! I was just trying to calm her down!" He claimed.

"Why didn't you just squeeze her hand like a normal person?" The other girl asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"Well… I…" Ben stuttered, unable to find a good answer for that question.

"Because both of his hands were occupied." Leone teased, giggling behind her hand. "He sure had fun playing doctor with Akame here… he's a lucky one to even get a touch on her assets."

"God damnit! I was just trying to help her! I'm not a freak!" Ben cried out, only for Akame to pinch his side a bit that caused him to shut up in his place.

"Please continue fixing my wounds." Akame replied as she pointed at her face, to which Ben nodded and temporarily left her to get some ice from the kitchen.

"So, all kidding aside… who might this boy be?" Najenda asked as she watched the young man slowly take care of the bruises on Akame's face.

"His name is Ben and he was one of the bodyguards from last night's mission." Leone began, which caused the Boss to raise an eyebrow, intrigued.

"And he's alive?" She asked with slight interest, as she remembered that the order was given clearly not to let anybody in the mansion leave alive.

"He was a new employee starting that night. He was assigned to guard the little girl. He had no idea about who those people really were plus, he's a newcomer in the Capital. So, I thought the best thing to do was to bring him here with his injured friend."

The older woman nodded. "I see. Is he joining Night Raid, then? Is he any good? Any promise?"

"Maybe, but I think he's more worried about his dear friend at the moment… and is he any good? Last night, while he was defending that killer family, he was beating Akame in a fight." She revealed.

Najenda looked shocked and looked over at the topless Akame on the table. "Is this true Akame?" She asked incredulously.

"He was winning until he got distracted by Mine." Akame admitted. "He got one strike on me with his gun and managed to beat me up afterwards with his bare hands."

Najenda tapped her chin with her finger, genuinely impressed with the young man already even if it was only according to Akame's words. "Interesting. Ben, was it? Would you like to join; Night Raid?" She asked.

Not surprisingly, Ben was listening the entire time to the conversation between the three women.

"I don't know, really. I mean, I'm just concerned about my friend in the sick bay. Sayo is due to wake up in a few hours or maybe even tomorrow and I don't even know who or what Night Raid is. I'm just here for my friend who's on the road to recovery."

Najenda nodded slightly; it looked like she would have to explain a bit of information to him. "I see. Well, short summary… we are a group of assassins who take care of the scum in the Capital, uprooting the corruption. Rich or poor, powerful or weak, beautiful or ugly, we don't make any exceptions."

"Like the family..." Ben quietly mentioned, narrowing his eyes a bit. He had applied ice directly to her face and proceeded to use a few drops of Ambersodia on some of the bleeding areas which magically closed and healed, while he was constantly checking on her right breast and wiping off the excess blood on it whenever it came out.  

"That's right Ben, but there are so many worse people in the empire than that family." Leone said.

"That's not so hard to believe." Ben sighed, remembering the dreaded shed where Leyasu and Tatsumi both died and where Sayo was tortured to death. "That family has killed so many innocents and did it for pleasure. I'm aware you guys aren't innocent, but you kill the wicked. There's a difference..." He said with a sigh as he continued to treat the bruises she suffered on her face with the Ambersodia that is completely healing fast.

Najenda was pleasantly surprised with how mature Ben was. He understood that while; Night Raid did it for the good of the people, they walked down a dark path to achieve this and they could atone for their sins at any time.

"Tell me about yourself, Ben. You intrigue me quite a bit." She said in a tone of interest.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Ben said.

"Try us." Najenda said Ben thought for a moment as he glanced at Sayo who gave her a pleading look.

"Okay, where do I start?" Ben tried to come out with a different side story and he told them that's just your average lone wolf Adventurer traveling from island island.

"So you're a foreign hippie huh?" Spoke an arrogant voice. Ben looked up for a moment and the pink-haired girl was there, smirking at him. Bulat and Lubbock were there, as well as Sheele.

"Well hello there little dude, how are you doing?" Bulat asked with a grin.

"I'm fine, And yes you can say that, I've been traveling Island after Island looking for foreign villagers to become an Adventurer for hire by hunting down weird creatures like those Danger Beasts." Ben explained his lifestyle and how he met Sayo and her friends.

Ben Tennyson has begun telling his tale on how he met Sayo, Tatsumi and Leyasu through the mountains and how he came to this country as a simple traveling adventurer and how he saved Sayo from danger.

"Wait so that's it?" Leone asked.

"Yup, that's my life story." Ben said half lying.

"But how do you explain your metal arm?" It was now Najenda who asked curiously.

"As I said to Akame, it was something personal and resigned between life and death situations for myself and that's why I'm forced to train on how to be a fighter, learned how to heal and treat injuries and wounds, trained to hunt and kill for food, and how to cook." 

"So, basically a housewife." Smirked Mine but Ben just ignored her with a blunt and cold look on his face which shut her up. "Hmmp, whatever."

"Anyways, if that's all. I'm Just finished with Akame's injuries." Ben said before he roamed his hand across her flesh one last time, making sure there wasn't anything else to take care of. When he was finally done, he wiped the needle with a wet cloth and placed it back in the box with the empty bottles of Ambersodia and Alcohol, returning it inside his pants afterwards.

He took a few steps back to let her sit up before he smiled apologetically. "Sorry about everything Akame, wasn't my intention and I guess it's in my mindset to defend those who help me."

"It's fine. You just saved my life. Thank you." Akame replied as she sat up and smiled back at him.

"And you did it with professionalism too." Leone said with a smirk. "Not like Lubbock here who would be drooling…." She thumbed at the green-haired teenager who was googly-eyed and drooling at the topless Akame, earning him a sharp jab to his stomach by the blonde girl's elbow.

Ben nodded and Najenda decided to continue knowing more about the mysterious white hair young man.

"You said 'forced to train' earlier, but what do you mean by that? Was it against your will?"

"It's not like it's against my will, it was during the time where me and a group of "Friends" first started as adventurers and at one moment when I had my back turned one of my so-called "Friends" betrayed me and that's how I ended up losing this arm." Ben introduce his much more advanced prosthetic metal arm which is made of azantium a rare and strongest mineral in Tortus. "This is why I don't want to talk about it."

Well it wasn't a lie when he first came into Tortus he was a private rank plumber agent sent to investigate the current Alien conspiracy on Japan but he had to make up a cover on why he was there and he was assigned as a student Transfer in a highschool within Tokyo and before then he and a bunch of students were sent magically into Tortus by that crazed god Ehit. During his first trip there he was proven useless due to the lack of ability in using magic and it must have something to do with his DNA that suppresses his use of Mana manipulation or magic in general.

"On one of our first jobs as a guild of adventurers, I had to endure the life of "Kill or Be killed" and there I force myself to learn how to fight for survival and there I hunt and kill several "Danger Beasts" because it was actually a mine filled with them which was our job to kill them but then due to that "friend" of mine betraying me like that and left me for death I lost my arm and so I have to do everything myself to survive and therefore I learn to cook "Danger Beast" meat healed my cuts, wounds etcs, despite not able to do house chores, I learn to take care of myself due to that survival experience and In other words, like what she said earlier, I practically am a housewife." Ben said, looking over towards Mine, the pink-haired sniper.

After seeing the emotionless yet depressed look on his face, Mine unknowingly started to feel slight regret on what she said, thinking that she might be the cause of bringing back such a bad memory. The smirk on her features disappeared, and was replaced by a blank look instead.

Leone, Lubbock, Sheele, and Bulat exchanged looks of concern because of what the young man had to go through in his first time as an adventurer at such a young age. Sure the three of them have a rough childhood due to the cruelty and corruption of the empire but even they have never imagined what it was like to be betrayed by their own teammates before who they now treated and trusted like a family and never one second think that one of them might go behind your back and betrayed you by stabbing you in the back for dead was sometimes beyond their imagination and as an assassin they know that feeling well.

At that moment, Leone's attraction towards Ben reached a new height.

Akame looked like she wasn't affected whatsoever, but in truth, she felt sympathy for him. Out of all the members of Night Raid, it was Akame who had the childhood that was nearly the same as his, except the fact that it was Ben who had to suffer longer. Unlike him, Akame had a little sister who was always by her side supporting her when she was little and she also didn't have the chance to be with her family for long because both girls were sold to the Empire at a young age.

Despite the hardships that Ben endured to get stronger and claim the title Demon Lord, He was the only child of the Tennyson household sure he had his cousins but that's okay because he has his friends and girls every time he remembers that nightmare within the abyss especially her. And while being sent into this world with no one around he knows that can help ever since he came into that village he was always comfort and taken care off by Sayo and her friends on which would probably explain why he cared about, Tatsumi, Leyasu and Sayo so much that he didn't even hesitate to kill Aria for torturing both his friends last night. They must have been the people who stuck by his side even with everything this unknown world tried to throw at him. Unlike her, Benjamin may sure have a great childhood but he had endured hardships in the way of survival of the fittest between the strong and weak where he learns to kill without hesitation and he had to carry that burden until he grew up in the world of Tortus for four months to be the Strongest and became independent to watch over himself and the his lover.

Although they didn't exactly go through the same fate, it was only Akame out of all of them who could understand his story and sympathize with him.

Akame wanted to know more about him.

"I apologize for bringing back such a sensitive topic." Najenda said, feeling concerned for the young man's mental state and well-being as well as feeling nostalgia at the fact of how the same they were in losing an arm from a so-called ally. Now come to think of she and Ben really do look alike even with the difference of where their eyepatch was located.

"It's fine." He waved her apology off. "I've moved on from it and looking at the bright side, I learned how to defend myself and how to stand on my own. It's benefited me, so that's one thing that I can thank my "Friend" for… even if he betrayed me like that. I wouldn't have become Strongest of all." 

'What an interesting young man…' Najenda thought. 'He went through a similar past like Akame did, yet he can still smile, crack a joke, and stay happy? He's one tough son of a gun…' Deciding to go straight to the point, she spoke again. "Have you killed anyone before, Ben?" she asked.

"Besides the little girl? Yeah, I've had to kill a lot of people." Ben said, wiping his hands from Akame's blood before wiping the tabletop clean.

"Really? What did they do?"

"I'd say, I'm like the same with you guys… I kill those people who are scum to society. Corrupt leaders of villages, drug dealers, ruthless murderers, people who target the sick, blackmailers, and many others. But, it's not that easy for me to take a life back then. I've killed people ever since I became a full time Adventurer, but looking back then when I was a kid it would just felt wrong to take a life. But through the years, I've grown into it and sometimes went to the neighboring kingdoms overseas just to see if there was someone who needed help against those who are trash to society, which includes that "friend" of mine." Ben admitted that he had killed a lot ever since he was sent to the world of Tortus after he came out of the Abyss he did all those things with his girls.

Almost all of them gasped as he just said.

"Somehow, I was kind of expecting it… but I never thought it would be true. One night, I saw him literally stab someone who's very precious to me in the back two times and rage blinded me. I regretted nothing as he was nothing but a loser so I ended him for almost killing her."

"I hate to ask, but who was she?" Mine asked.

"Her name's Kaori Shirasaki." Ben said.

"Who's Kaori?" Leone couldn't help but ask although she was slightly jealous on hearing that Ben might have a lover, little did she know that Ben has several of them back in Bellwood.

"Oh she was a member of his old Adventurers guild, apparently the guy who betrayed me was actually have an obsession of her and despite all the rejection from his courting he still tries to persuade her that was until they learn I was alive after saving them from a very skilled "Assassin" and his jealousy of me  became hatred and so he tries to kill Kaori."

"Ooooh, so you have a girlfriend?" Leone asked.

"It's a bit complicated." Ben said, a little embarrassed although still feels anxiety at the memory of Kaori almost looking dead.

Seeing this Leone felt pity for the boy and gently hugged him from behind, pressing her generous chest against the back of his head.

"You were doing the right thing Benny. I would've done the same thing if I was in your place." She said before she felt him shake off her embrace, turning back to face her and the others.

He smirked afterwards. "We'll all have to atone for the blood we have spilled someday. It doesn't matter for whatever reason it was, even if it was for the greater good." Ben said, sighing as he began to clean his knife before placing it back in his pocket.

Leone smiled. "You really should join, Ben. Your skill will be invaluable. Not to mention, your abilities can rival that of Akame's."

"Hmm, If it's beneficial for me I'll consider it. I'm really not interested in becoming an assassin but not to mention that all of this is just too sudden for me to handle all at once. But one thing's for sure, I'll have an answer to that question maybe after a few hours when I think it over…"

"I understand. However, I would like you to rendezvous with us at the meeting room in ten minutes. Leone mentioned something strange about not only your weapons but  yourself as well and I want to investigate it myself. I also would like to see how you fight so I could know just how you managed to nearly beat Akame during your encounter. Bring your weapons and yourself to the meeting. See you in a few minutes, Ben." Najenda said before she left the kitchen with the others following closely behind.

Ben's left eye twitched.

"That'll happen the day I finally find my way out of this maze!" He yelled.

~~~~~~~~~

"You look like a mess, Benjamin…" Najenda commented, observing Ben's current appearance closely. He is now wearing a black Shirt over a black coat with green patterns on it, along with it was a green stripe on the left side of it and a number 10 Printed up front, on his torso he he has a double gun straps attached to a belt like hostlers and his whole face was sweating buckets. "Did something happen to you on the way here?" 

( Note: Remember guys he still have his Eyepatch in this version. )

Leone was laughing heartily at the young man, Mine could be seen smirking at him, Lubbock, Bulat, and Sheele chuckled at their expense, while Akame simply flashed a cute smile at him.

"I got lost again, if you gotta know! I barely made it here in time!" He shouted in his thoughts before he shook his head. "No, nothing! Let's just get this over with! What else do you want to know about me?"

"Very well." She turned over to the tall, muscular man inside the room. "Bulat, if you please."

Bulat nodded and stepped forward. "You might want to take a few steps back, Ben." he warned the brunette, as the latter moved a few steps back. "~<INCURSIOOOOO!>~" He screamed out and he immediately transformed into the familiar armor that Bensaw just a night ago.

"Huh?!" Ben exclaimed. "Wait a second, you're the dude with the armor that carried me last night?!"

"~<Name's Bulat! Pleasure to meet you!>~" The armored assassin said happily.

"H-Hi..." Ben stuttered out, nearly yelling in pain as Bulat crushed the young man's hand with his iron grip.

"Be careful around Bulat, he's gay." Leone whispered just loud enough for Bulat to hear her.

"Hey now..." Bulat said, as a slight blush spread across his face. "He'd misunderstand, right?"

'He didn't deny it!' Ben thought, slowly backing away from Bulat. "Yeah, I just want to let you know that I'm straight, so naturally I don't swing that way." Ben bluntly told Bulat who looked bewildered at his response on which the others cause to laugh.

"Ah hem, Benjamin, Leone told me a very interesting thing, okay?" Najenda said, gaining the boy's attention. "She told me that you were beating our very own Akame in a fight, which is a real surprise because Akame is arguably the strongest member of Night Raid. Isn't that right, Akame?" She turned over to the ruby-eyed assassin who only nodded in response.

Ben couldn't help but gulp in nervousness at where this conversation was getting into.

"Akame, you said that he still fought back even though you disarmed him of his weapons, correct? How exactly did he fight you?" The white-haired woman smirked. 

Akame looked at Ben for a brief second before she began to speak. "Even without his weapons, Ben is still a formidable enemy. He was able to wound me even further just by using elbow strikes and I was even incapacitated for a little while when he used his own head to hit mine. His attacks felt like I was hitting rock itself, and I can tell that if I was a regular person, I would likely be dead right now. His technique in fighting is both unique and dangerous, in my opinion."

While Ben was left surprised with Akame's interpretation of what happened, Najenda hummed while nodding, showing that she was clearly interested in knowing more about the young man's abilities. "Interesting… but, it would be better to check it with a little test. Ben!" She called out.

"Y-Yeah?" He replied. 'I mean if these guys are sure enough to face me in a one V one battle that's fine as long as I hold back in not killing some of them.' He thought.

"I want you to fight Bulat using that same fighting style that Akame is talking about. No holding back. Don't worry about this fight turning serious because this is just to test your abilities and see how powerful you are."

"Wait, for real?" Ben asked incredulously. "I-I don't want to hurt anyone here, especially after what you've done for Sayo…"

"Aren't you such a sweetheart, Benny?" Leone teased, causing the young man to blush. "It's only a day since you've been here, and you don't want anyone to get hurt immediately!"

"You won't hurt anyone, trust me, Ben." Najenda said with a wink. "Bulat's armor is special, because it gives him excellent defense against attacks. And in your case, you're using your bare hands to fight against him. Remember, this is only a test. Bulat will not, in any way, retaliate or hit you back."

Ben blinked a few times, still unsure of what to do at the moment.

"What's the big deal, man?" Lubbock said, shrugging his shoulders. "If the Boss says it's okay to fight, then it's okay. You're in good hands."

"Just deal with it like it's any other fight, Ben. Kill the doubt, and go for the real kill." He heard Akame say with a slight smile.

And at last, Ben came to a decision.

"Okay! I'll do it!" He said aloud, removing his guns from his belt straps before he took off his coat and entire clothes leaving only his pants,  which leaves him topless once again which drew some reactions from the females inside the room.

Despite being lean he was incredibly built in muscles.

Leone whistled in amazement that she got a look at the platinum white hair young man's amazing body once again, Mine blushed and quickly looked away, Sheele just plainly smiled even though a slight blush was on her face, and Akame's eyes locked onto the young man not because of what she saw underneath the , but because she was more focused on seeing just how Ben would fight an armored assassin without any weapons at all.

"Excellent." Najenda said before motioning for the other members of Night Raid to stand back and make way for the two fighters. "You have two minutes to attack Bulat with everything you've got but it is in your decision to take a rest or not. Don't worry about the armor breaking and most importantly, don't hold back in this test, Ben. Remember that. The purpose of this little fight is just to test your abilities if you do join us. But you can also think of it as an early morning exercise if you decline the offer. Got it?" 

"Roger that." Ben said, examining Bulat's armored self from head to toe, quickly thinking of a good strategy to ace this test.

"Two minutes start…" The Boss looked over at the clock on the wall as the other members all turned their attention to the young white hair man.

"NOW!"

Almost immediately, Ben rushed out of his position and quickly hit a low dropkick towards Bulat's foot, causing the latter to drop to one knee and the boy took advantage by jumping on the armored assassin's back.

Benjamin then began his work by hitting elbow after elbow towards the back of Bulat's neck with his metal arm that was enough to wear him down that the assassin dropped to both knees afterwards. A few seconds later, he jumped off of Bulat's back and went in front of him. Ben grabbed the side of the armor's helmet and began to hit it with another flurry of stiff elbows that it was a damn miracle on how the boy's flesh wasn't sustaining wounds or anything bad as he currently uses his good elbow that time.

Some time later, the young brunette let go of the helmet and began hitting shoot kicks towards Bulat's armor-clad chest, which were amazingly strong enough to force the latter back into a kneeling position. Ben quickly went to the side and began kicking Bulat's head over and over until the time was down to one minute.

Panting slightly, Ben stopped for a few seconds to have a quick breather, only for Bulat to taunt him, asking for more with a small gesture.

Ben grinned in response, before he knelt down so that he was on eye level with the assassin. He began to attack Bulat's helmet with elbows yet again, but this time he was using both his arms alternately. This particular assault continued on until there was only twenty seconds left on the clock.

He stood up again and set Bulat's helmet in his crosshairs as he prepared his right foot.

Fifteen.

He roundhouse kicked the armored assassin at the side of his head right on its mark by the ear, causing Bulat to fall to the side because of the sheer strength of the kick he received. However, before he could reach the floor, Ben quickly helped him sit back up as the brunette turned his eyes to the wall in front of him, where Mine and Sheele were also standing.

Ten.

He then ran for the wall and both Mine and her purple-haired companion were shocked that he was heading towards them and that they thought they were going to get involved in this fight, even if time was almost up.

But that wasn't the case.

Seven.

As soon as he touched the wall behind the two girls, he ran back towards Bulat only to pass by the armored assassin again as he headed for the opposite wall, where Leone and Akame were watching the fight unfold.

Like Sheele and Mine, the two girls thought that Ben was going to get them involved in this test, only for the young man to run past them and touch the wall too.

Four.

Ben ran back to Bulat with his full speed and narrowed his eyes, focusing all his strength towards one specific part of his lower body.

Two.

With a loud, resounding CLANG! he delivered a powerful soccer ball kick towards the armored chest of the assassin as he ran past Bulat, a look of triumph being clearly seen in his face as he hit his final blow.

Zero.

Bulat's armored self fell to the floor in defeat just as Najenda spoke. "Time's up! That's enough, Ben. Bulat, thank you for your cooperation." She said, standing up from her seat.

The armor encased around Bulat's body disappeared before the tall assassin stood up from the floor, unharmed from all the damage he was supposedly going to take had he not used Incursio. He was, however, sweating so much that he quickly brought out a towel to wipe off his sweat.

"Wow Ben, you move and attack as fast as lightning! You actually got me sweating even though I had the armor on! I definitely think you should join us… you're unique and I think you could kill enemies even if you only used your bare hands!" Bulat complimented with a thumbs-up as he went to the table to cool off.

"Oh! Thanks, I guess?!" The Platinum white hair Young man replied rather awkwardly as he caught his green blazer, his buttoned black shirt underneath it, along with a cravat terminated by a ring tied around his neck. He wears black pants that have gun holsters attached to them, as well as knee-length black boots which were thrown to him by Lubbock before putting it on.

"It's just like what Bulat and Leone said…"

"Huh?" Ben looked over towards the Boss only to see her grinning.

"You're one of a kind, Ben." She praised Ben. "Your stiff striking accompanied by your extraordinary speed makes for a dangerous combo. Now, I'm beginning to see how you were able to almost beat Akame in a fight. Your hands and feet didn't even sustain any injuries from trying to beat someone wearing armor. This is the first time I've seen someone fight in this way, and I have to say that it is both frightening and interesting to watch from a distance. The way you gathered momentum before going for that final kick was definitely a good use of your surroundings, and you managed to keep Bulat down without standing up for the rest of the test. Leone was right, you will truly be a valuable asset of our group if you do end up joining."

Now, Ben was really trying to consider whether he should join or not. If he did join, he could join other people in the fight against this corrupt Empire and he'd earn himself new friends along the way. But, what would Sayo say to him eventually when she wakes up? That she didn't consider him a friend anymore? That he became a ruthless killer? It was too big of a risk to even say that she was perfectly fine with him being an assassin because Sayo was too innocent for these kinds of things like killing, assassinating, corruption, and many others.

His two options were balanced.

But, before he could even get a chance to further think about what he would pick out of those two options, Najenda began to speak again.

"Well, that was certainly interesting but it's time that we move on. Leone also told me that you possessed a weird-looking guns from last night. Can you show it to me?" She asked.

Ben picked up his guns that were lying down on the floor still strapped on his Belt holsters and held it high for everyone to see. Since it was still holstered, they have yet to see what was inside and little did they know that Benjamin was more special than they thought he was. The straps looked like an ordinary one used to contain guns inside, complete with brown leather straps and belts for the Hostlers. But what was strange was the design of the guns.

"Okay, can you unholster them?" The white-haired woman requested, and Ben complied immediately as he removed his guns from its cages before strapping them to his legs and torso.

He held the Guns in both hands up high for everyone to see once again, and the strange design could be definitely seen even from a distance. From a normal person's eyes, it would look like it was just an ordinary gun, but it would be almost impossible to just build something like this right?

"Doesn't look anything special to me." Mine remarked, shrugging her shoulders afterwards. "It just means that you have skill in making weapons. The design is weird but cool at the same time, that's all you're getting from me."

"Why thank you for the compliments, because Donner and Schlag were the first two weapons I made in that cave. I got trapped with "Danger Beast" on them trying to eat me, and they're made from various Danger Beasts to construct them." Ben admitted shocking the group.

Building weapons in a dangerous cave without proper tools?

Now, who in their right minds would ever think about that? Guns are made by Gunsmiths, and they are not easily made inside caves without proper materials and equipment; what's more, even if they were indeed found in a cave, it was still forged by somebody.

At first they didn't believe him but after everything they witnessed of him doing in a fight between Akame last night and now Bulat him being a gunsmith wouldn't be a surprise.

"Is that so?" Najenda asked, looking at Ben. "Did you now?"

"Yeah, I did, I can make weapons out of Danger Beasts and those Beasts are no ordinary ones so after I killed them I used their thick skin and cores to build my guns."

"Is that something to do with your other ability?" Najenda asked, causing Ben to widen his eyes thinking if she found out about the Omnitrix but to his relief.

"What kind of ability?" Mine asked.

"The one where Benny bented those metal bars with just his good hand glowing." Leone told them.

Ben sighs in relief as the others look at Leone confused.

"Huh?!" Everyone but Leone, Akame said.

"What she meant, is that Ben here did something to bend those metal bars to break his friend free from there." Akame gestured to Ben. "When he touches it with his hand it glows red and on top of his palm a circle is drawn like this." She then draws a magic circle in the ground which makes the others look at it strangely.

"Wait, is that a magic circle?" Lubbock asked as he had seen one before in some children's story books.

"A magic circle?" Sheele asked curiously.

"You know, one of those things that both wizards and witches or what we like to call them in simple terms as mages use to cast spells like in fairy tales." Lubbock told her.

"Oooh, I see. Yeah I don't get it." Sheele being an airhead said and the green hair assassin sigh.

"Nevermind, Akame, Leone, what's this have to do with Benny here and that." The two Girls looked at each other and nodded.

"Everything, because Ben can do magic." Akame said the others look at each other and then at Ben and then at each other before glancing back at Ben.

"Yeah, I don't believe that one bit." Mine snorted. "You're just making fun of us."

"Guys, we're telling you the truth of what we just saw." Akame tried to persuade them however it was too late as Ben touches the ground and before they knew it another appears below Mine's feet which glows red and as it soon appears before anyone could react a pillar was constructed and lifted a squealing Mine out of fear of heights.

"What The hell?!" The pillar looks a bit 10 ft high.

As for the other members of Night Raid they glanced back behind them and saw that Ben was kneeling with his good hand touching the ground and the spot he was touching was glowing with a magic circle.

"As much as I hate not to admit it, I couldn't help but brag about magic being real." Ben couldn't help but grinned at the squealing pinkette girl.

Bulat comes over to Najenda and whispers to her how they now just picked up a jackpot in helping them win this war.

"-Najenda, I don't know why but I think we just hit the jackpot.-" Bulat whispers to her and she nods as she crosses her arms.

A/N: And Sayo is alive bet didn't see that coming huh?

God bless and take care out there and stay safe out there.
