Desert island, first confrontation

On a remote island surrounded by a clear blue ocean, Noah and Esdeath emerged from a purple teleportation circle that suddenly flowed through the dense forest. Large trees towered around them, while the fresh scent of wet leaves and wildflowers filled the air. The atmosphere on the island was peaceful, although there was a sense of tension lurking.

Esdeath, with her flowing blue hair and sharp icy eyes, immediately took a vigilant stance. She looked around curiously, sensing the presence of something unusual. Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed in the air, breaking the tranquility.

In an instant, a giant humanoid creature emerged from behind the trees, with large muscles and fiery eyes. The creature was a dangerous beast, and it seemed very hungry.

"Noah, get out of the way!" Esdeath shouted, her voice firm and commanding. She wasn't worried about Noah getting hurt because she was stronger than her, she was only worried that he would take her prey.

Without hesitation, she drew her sword, which glinted in the sunlight. In an instant, Esdeath shot towards the creature at incredible speed, leaving a trail of frozen ice on the ground. Noah watched in awe as Esdeath took action. Her movements were agile and graceful, like a deadly dance being danced in the middle of the forest. She focused her ice energy, creating an ice spear in her hand and threw it towards the creature. The spear stabbed straight into the beast's chest, but the creature only paused for a moment before continuing its attack.

Esdeath was not deterred. She launched a series of attacks, dodging the creature's attacks with amazing precision. With each movement, she created a wall of ice that blocked the beast's attacks, while her right hand continued to launch various forms of ice to hurt the creature.

The fight was fierce, the sound of ice and flesh clashing thundered throughout the forest. Although the dangerous beast was weaker than Esdeath, it had an extremely fast regeneration. Feeling troubled by the creature's regenerative power, Esdeath decided to use all her strength. In one final, stunning attack, Esdeath gathered all her ice power and launched a massive attack, creating an ice aurora that enveloped the giant creature. The dangerous beast let out a final roar before its body froze into a majestic ice statue, frozen in the middle of the forest.

Noah approached her, his eyes gleaming with admiration.

"You did great," Noah said, admiring Esdeath's abilities. After the intense battle, the two of them decided to explore the island.

They walked along the beach surrounded by crystal clear water, enjoying the beauty of the surrounding nature. Esdeath couldn't help but run towards the waves, feeling the water touch her feet. Noah followed her, and the two of them were lost in the simple happiness of joking around.

Days passed, and they began to feel each other's warmth. That night, after enjoying a beautiful sunset, they sat on the edge of the beach, watching the stars sparkling in the sky. Esdeath leaned on Noah's shoulder, feeling the warmth spreading through her body. In that moment, all the tiredness and tension seemed to disappear.

"Noah," Esdeath's voice was soft. "I've never felt like this before. With you, I feel... different."

Noah looked at her, seeing the depths of her icy eyes that radiated honesty. "I feel it too, Esdeath. There's something more than just power between us."

They exchanged glances, and in an instant, the world around them seemed to disappear. Noah reached for Esdeath's face, pulling her closer, and they shared a soft, soulful kiss. Esdeath felt her heart racing, while Noah held her close, as if never wanting to let her go.

That night, the two of them were lost in the beauty of sharing stories, laughter, and warmth with each other. In each other's arms, they felt a presence that strengthened each other. The following days on the island were filled with adventure and exploration. They explored the forest, discovered hidden waterfalls, and shared small moments that brought them closer together.

Esdeath felt alive in a way she had never felt before, and Noah became a light in the darkness that had once surrounded her. One night, when the stars shone brighter than ever, they found themselves in a secluded spot at the end of the beach. The sound of gentle waves swayed as Esdeath sat on Noah's lap. She could feel the warmth of his body, and at that moment, love flowed between them like an unbroken stream.

"Noah," Esdeath whispered, looking deep into his eyes. "I want to be with you, more than this."

Noah nodded, feeling the same way. "Me too, Esdeath. We've been through so much together, and I want to continue this journey with you." They leaned closer, and without another word, they let their feelings take over. In the silence of the star-filled night, their love blossomed and united in an indescribable way.

.....

While Esdeath and Noah were teleported to a remote island, Noah's clones immediately caught Shura who teleported them. No matter how Shura fought back using Shambala's teleportation, he was helpless as he appeared in the same place. This was because Noah had locked the space around them so no matter how Shura teleported, he would appear in that place.

On the other side, Night Raid and Jaeger met unexpectedly. They stood face to face, sharp gazes filled with hatred exchanging. However, before they could attack each other, the sound of wood breaking from being stepped on was heard from the shadows of the forest.

"Who is it?" Tatsumi asked as he readied his sword.

"Looks like we're not alone here," Akame replied with her characteristic calmness.

From behind the trees, several people appeared. They were the Wild Hunt, Teigu users that Shura had collected. One of them was emitting a terrifying killing aura.

"Be careful! They are very dangerous Teigu users!" Leone exclaimed as she sensed a dangerous aura from them based on her instincts that had been strengthened by Lionel, her Teigu.

Before the two groups could think of their next move, the Wild Hunt launched a merciless attack. Some of them jumped towards the Night Raid, while others targeted the Jaegers.

One of the Wild Hunt members, a lean and muscular man with black hair styled in a triangular bob and small, light-colored eyes. He possessed a sword-shaped Teigu that could emit wind slashes, Moonlight sword dance: Shamshir. He attacked Tatsumi with a wind slash and managed to scratch Tatsumi's face.

"I'll kill you!" he shouted as he slashed.

Tatsumi dodged in time, and his sword hit the ground, creating sparks. "You won't be able to defeat us that easily!"

On the other hand, Akame jumped towards a short young woman with blonde hair from the Wild Hound who possessed a fang-shaped Teigu, Absordex. She was Dorothea, an alchemist. She hides her true age as a very old woman who has extended her life by stealing energy from others. She wears a turquoise dress with a white apron and a turquoise ribbon on her head, making her look innocent.

"Chop!" Akame shouted, swinging her katana with precision, but was avoided by the small and agile Dorothea.

Dorothea took out many poisonous tubes from her body and summoned a dangerous beast. Akame who felt the danger immediately retreated when she saw the thick black poisonous mist released by the dangerous beast.

Meanwhile, the Jaeger members did not stay idle. The Jaeger members who were there happened to be Bols and Run. They also engaged in the fight against the Wild Hunt. Run started shooting at one of the Wild Hound members who tried to attack Bols with feathers from Mastema.

"Don't just focus on Night Raid! We have to defeat them first!" he shouted.

Leone helped Tatsumi who was having trouble fighting Enshin, in that battle, only Tatsumi did not have a Teigu so he had difficulty defeating his opponent, fortunately Leone came to help. They worked together to defeat Enshin.

"Here it is! Combined attack!" Tatsumi shouted, swinging his sword vigorously.

Leone jumped up and delivered an attack from above, using the momentum to gain power. The combination of attacks had Enshin pinned down and forced to retreat.

However, just as they thought they had gained the advantage, two other Wild Hunt members appeared from behind, launching a surprise attack. The attack was a sound attack that made their bodies feel heavy as gravity increased. The one who attacked them was Cosmina, the Teigu user Heavey Pressure. Cosmina was a young woman with a pink bob haircut and bunny ears on her head. She wore a thin mini dress, a matching collar and bracelet, boots, and a pair of glasses.

"You think that's enough to defeat us?" Champ said sarcastically.

Tatsumi and Leone were forced to split up, facing two new opponents.

"We can't lose! We have to hold out until the others come to help," Leone said, trying to keep her team's spirits up.

On the other side, Akame was fighting against Dorothea who kept spreading strange potions around them, making Akame even more cautious.

The sound of battle soon attracted the other Night Raid and Jaeger members. Mine accompanied by Sheele hid on the hilltop while aiming at Champ who was fighting Leone.

....Swosh....

A laser beam immediately shot towards Champ who was currently preparing to launch Chaos Throw: Big Leaguer, his Teigu. The laser beam immediately pierced the unsuspecting Champ's head. Champ's headless body immediately fell to the ground and shocked the rest of the Wild Hunt when they realized that there was a sniper hiding. They watched their surroundings warily. Not only the Wild Hunt were wary, but also the Run and Bols, because they were also enemies of the Night Raid.

"Let's retreat first, this situation is not in our favor with the Night Raid sniper hiding" Run, the calmest and wisest, immediately suggested. Regarding Run's suggestion, Bols also did not object because Run's suggestion made sense.

Without hesitation, the Jaegers chose to retreat while the Night Raid continued to attack the Wild Hunt.

On the other hand, Leone and Tatsumi launched their combined attack. With a swift movement, Leone jumped into the air and attacked with her sharp claws, while Tatsumi swung his sword with full force. Enshin, who was already running out of energy, could not avoid this collaborative attack. Tatsumi's sword slashed Enshin's body and knocked him to the ground.

Meanwhile, Akame tried to approach Dorothea by avoiding the poisonous mist surrounding her. Dorothea realized Akame's intention and immediately released more poisonous potions.

"No one can stop me! I will turn you into dust!" Dorothea shouted as she threw a potion at Akame. However, Akame quickly jumped to the side, avoiding the attack.

In the midst of this chaos, Leone and Tatsumi managed to defeat several other Wild Hunt members when Bulat appeared to help them. They felt victory was approaching, but Dorothea still held on.

"Don't let her escape!" Leone shouted. Bulat, who saw the opportunity, slashed Dorothea with his spear. In an instant, he launched a quick attack towards Dorothea, Dorothea fell with severe injuries.

Night Raid finally managed to defeat all the Wild Hunt members, leaving Dorothea as the only one left alive. Dorothea lay on the ground, her breath gasping.

"Don't kill her, let me handle her" said Noah (clone) who suddenly appeared when Night Raid was about to kill Dorothea.

The Night Raid members looked at each other in doubt before Akame decided to trust Noah.

"Okay, I'll leave her to you" Akame said seriously.

"Thank you. Oh, by the way, I brought Shura instead, he is the Son of Honest" Noah said while pointing at Shura who could not move due to his badly injured body and being tied up tightly.

They continued to exterminate the remaining dangerous beasts before returning to the base.
