The next day, Sinbad woke up a new man. He had experienced an enlightenment yesterday and he felt great. Even Leone found that Sinbad was somehow different today and couldn't specify what it was but she found him even more attractive. This got Sinbad a passionate hot kiss from Leone as she was aroused by this new him.
Sinbad: Leone.
Leone: Yes?
Sinbad: Do you want to go on a date? *smile*
Leone: Really!?
Sinbad: *chuckle* Yes really!
Leone: *tearing up* About time! I thought you were just going to leave me for boss... *pout*
Sinbad: What are you talking about? I don't even sleep with Najenda, but with you. *laugh*
Leone: But still...
Sinbad: Leone please understand that you're my first girl and that would never change. So are we going on a date or not?
Leone: Yes!
Sinbad: Awesome! How about this coming weekend? *smile*
Leone: Okay! Don't rain check on me you playboy. *smirk*
Sinbad: You be quiet. *smile*
Sinbad and Leone continued to chat in bed and then got to work. Sinbad had to train the others so they could become stronger for when the final battle takes place. Everyone met up at breakfast and discussed what training they would be doing. Lubbock and Tatsumi wanted to do body training with Bulat. Leone, Akame and Sheele wanted to spar with Sinbad. While Mine and Seryu wanted to do specialised training with Sinbad's clones. Mine wanted to learn a movement skill just in case she got into a close quarters fight. Seryu wanted to train her combination play with Koro to bond them even closer. Also she still had those body modifications from Dr. Stylish and Sinbad encouraged her to use them because they were a part of her now.
Sinbad had already told the group that Najenda had left to go back to the Revolutionary Army HQ to recruit some people. This contracted various reactions but Sinbad convinced the disgruntled ones that this is necessary to secure a better future. They agreed reluctantly but knew this was for the best.
After breakfast training began, Sinbad teleported people to different islands whether they were uninhabited or filled with danger beasts, before him and the three girls left for their island. Sinbad and the three girls teleported to an empty island void of life. The three girls walked away from Sinbad and got ready.
Leone roared as a flame surrounded her before coming out and looking a fiery lioness. Akame took a deep breath and entered kill mode as she unsheathed her Teigu: Murasame. Sheele grabbed Teigu: Extase off of her back and her gentle expression turned serious.
Sinbad thought 'Although they look pretty on the outside, no one should underestimate these women.' Sinbad knew they were come at him with the intent on killing him seeing them get so serious.
Sinbad: Transform my whole body into that of a great magus. Djinn Equip Valefor!
Sinbad's body glowed brightly as he turned into a fox god. The girls remembered when they first saw this transformation and knew he was going to go at them also. They tightened their grips and narrowed their eyes at the slightest movements of his. Sinbad saw that they were not going to take the initiative so he decided to initiate. Sinbad raised his arms and waved.
Sinbad: Garufor Zairu!
Suddenly hundreds of ice picks the size of cows came into existence and rushed towards the three women. Leone growled in annoyance that her boyfriend wasn't holding back whatsoever. She jumped in front of Akame and Sheele and roared. The first icicle came zooming towards the trio and Leone took a deep breath and threw out a powerful fist.
The fist collided with the ice pick and immediately shattered and that wasn't all. A strong wind pressure was produced shattering the icicle in the area in front of her. But that wasn't the end of the onslaught as the rest of ice picks had made it over. The girls charged forward and began annihilating the ice picks. Akame jumped into the air as Leone positioned herself below her. Akame landed on her hands and Leone chucked her towards the wave of icicles. Akame began swinging her sword at a ridiculous speed looking like a cyclone.
Sheele weaved through the icicles cleanly slicing them through the middle with pinpoint accuracy while Leone was intimidatingly crushing each icicle that made it within her vicinity. Sinbad saw them easily making their way through to him and upped the anti.
Sinbad: Winter Moon!
Sinbad conjured up a massive ice like meteor in the air. Sinbad jumped up and slammed his leg against the ice which didn't break under the force of his fierce kick and blitzed towards the trio. The trio saw the ice meteor blazing towards them and knew he really wasn't holding back. Akame saw this and a glint of determination flashed in her eyes.
Akame sheathed back Murasame and stood there with her hand on the hilt waiting for the impending ice meteor. Leone and Sheele knew she would handle the ice meteor and carried on battling against the icicles. Akame stared at the incoming meteor.
The meteor got closer and closer until it was only a few metres away from her. Leone and Sheele were getting worried but decided to trust her. The meteor made it to only 1 metre away from Akame and that's when she took action.
Akame took a leap forward towards the incoming meteor. She unsheathed Murasame and slashed unbelievably fast that even Sinbad could barely see the slash. After she slashed she sheathed back her blade and a second after the ice meteor cut in half and shattered into pieces. Sinbad smirked while Sheele and Leone celebrated and went all out. The three of them made their way to Sinbad who smiled and inwardly was proud of these girls to force him so far but... Why would he, the High King allow himself to be pushed like this?
Sinbad: Garufor Kirestal!
A magic circle appeared in front Sinbad emanating a mountainous pressure even shattering the ground beneath him and the girls knew this was trouble but was too late. A blistering snow blizzard abruptly covered the entire island. The temperature dropped close to absolute zero and girls felt ice quickly cover their bodies. Ice swiftly encased them inside an ice crystal with their angry expressions. Sinbad chuckled and knew the fight was over when, he heard one of the stalactites of ice crack.
He looked towards the middle and saw it crack gradually until it burst to pieces. Akame was breathing heavily after exhausting most of her strength because she had noticed that the ice was many times stronger. Sinbad had imbued even more magoi in this attack in comparison to his previous ones.
Sinbad: Do you still want to carry on? *smirk*
Akame: Yes Nii-san.
Sinbad saw her battle lit eyes and felt her burning passion to get stronger from the air around her. Sinbad smirked and motioned his hand to say 'come'. Akame nodded and vanished from the spot. Sinbad waved his hand revealing the glowing red eyes on his palms. Ripples emanated into the space and Akame knew what was going to happen as she had experienced it before.
Akame upped her speed and appeared in front of Sinbad and swung her sword ruthlessly. Her sword was about to hit him when her sword phased through his after image. She immediately slashed again only to hit another after image.
She kept on attacking Sinbad with her sword creating many sword mirages as she swung so fast. Sinbad kept dodging and knew if he got nicked by her sword it was game over. When using Stagnation he had to be sure when dodging even when Akame was slowed down so he used his Saiyan physique and moved even faster.
Sinbad continuously waved his hands as he saw Akame get visibly slower but knew he couldn't let his guard down. Akame kept on swinging Murasame not knowing that she was slowing down. She unwillingly kept on going no matter what as she slashed with her sword with 100% effort not wanting this to be her limit. She wanted to break through to a new level.
Her mind was slowly evolving. Sinbad felt something change in Akame and had to get a bit more serious. Sinbad saw her body actually moving faster and not being hindered by the molecules around her solidifying.
The snow kept falling as the two warriors danced in the winter landscape. Mirages and after images kept flashing as the two waltzed in the snow. Eventually, Akame was gradually getting back to her normal speed and negated the effects of Stagnation. She was evolving as the battle went on which showed her unparalleled genius as a fighter.
Sinbad was proud that she had finally broken through. But he would never lose to anyone even his adopted sister. Sinbad decided to try a new move as he was slithering and barely dodging Akame's onslaught of slashes. Sinbad thrusted his hands out and massive ripples surrounded Akame. His action was so sudden that Akame didn't have time to react and before she did it was too late. She couldn't move or twitch her body.
Sinbad: Eternal Stagnation.
This was the evolved version of Stagnation. Instead of slowing down the opponent, this version of Stagnation permanently froze all the molecules around Akame and halted her assault. Akame knew she lost but had greatly gained new strength. Sinbad clicked his fingers and the whole place stopped snowing and the two girls trapped in the stalactites broke open and the two were knocked out. Akame finally regained her movement and fell to the floor. Sinbad caught her just in time and hugged her close. He was extremely proud of her and knew she was exhausted in mind and body as she pushed herself to the limits.
Sinbad: Good job Akame. *smile*
Akame: Thank you Nii-san. *smile*
Sinbad: Well let's head back shall we?
Sinbad carried Akame and walked over to the two unconscious girls and teleported back to base. He sat down Akame onto the couch and carried Sheele and Leone to their rooms. He placed them on their beds so they could rest and went back to Akame. He found Akame clearly reflecting about the fight with that serious face of hers.
Sinbad sat beside Akame and tapped her shoulder. She snapped out of her thoughts and noticed Sinbad beside her.
Akame: Nii-san.
Sinbad: Akame, you should have some rest. You're already tired.
Akame: Nii-san, I'm fine. Plus, I want to be strong...
Sinbad: I know, and that's good, but resting is part of being strong.
Akame: I want to be where you are Nii-san.
Sinbad: Akame, don't rush it. Don't waste your efforts by not resting. Also after resting you'll be able to think clearly. Furthermore, don't worry about rushing to the peak, I'll be there to wait for you when you get there. *smile*
Akame: Nii-san...
Sinbad: Come on, now rest.
Sinbad beckoned her over to rest beside him as he patted the spot next to him. Akame scooted herself over and Sinbad wrapped his arm around her shoulder. She rested her head on his shoulder and looked at Sinbad. Sinbad looked at her also but suddenly froze the next moment.
Akame pressed her soft small lips against Sinbad's catching him off guard. Sinbad tasted her soft supple lips lost as his mind was chaos. They held the kiss for a few seconds before she parted away from his lips.
Sinbad: Akame...
Akame: Even though your my Nii-san, I want you to treat me more than your Imouto... *blush*
Sinbad thought 'Is this the bro-con situation? Wow...' Sinbad was still frozen and didn't know what to say. When he had met Akame he was always a sister to him but even now he still felt she was his sister. Yet he still had this feeling of love towards her that was not sibling love but more than that. Akame saw that he wasn't responding and was worried that this may ruin their entire relationship. She wanted him to be her Nii-san and also someone that could love her as a woman. Sinbad saw the worry across her face and sighed. He smiled and leaned down.
It was Akame's turn to be surprised as Sinbad had just kissed her back. This kiss was more passionate as Sinbad placed his hand behind Akame's head to taste more of her. Her sweetness and love could be felt through her lips as Sinbad wanted more. Akame could feel the love from Sinbad's kiss and reciprocated everything back. Their tongues engaged in battle as they wanted to savour even more of each other.
Sinbad wanted to fill both roles of her brother and lover. Akame's tears streamed down her face as she was in bliss. She always wanted this from Sinbad as she saw him acting this way with Leone and Najenda and that made her feel jealous. She didn't know what it was until Sinbad and his girls exposed even more of their intimacy and Akame knew she was jealous so she decided to go for the initiative this time to express her feelings to him. Although she wanted a brother, she wanted a partner like Sinbad who was everything a person would want.
After a while, they stopped and Sinbad wiped away the tears off her face. Akame snuggled close in his safe embrace and closed her eyes with a smile on her face. Sinbad then remembered 'Oh I totally forgot about the others... I'll fetch them later after this.' as he smiled and looked down at the sleeping Akame. Sinbad closed his eyes also and fell asleep holding Akame close.
A few hours later, it was the evening and Sinbad had woken up. He saw that Akame was still sleeping and decided to wake her up. Sinbad shook her a little before her eye lashes fluttered and her eyes opened. She was still dreaming about that moment with her Nii-san and wished that it wasn't just a dream so she looked beside her and saw Sinbad smiling.
Sinbad: Akame I need to fetch the others so I'll be back, okay?
Akame: Okay Nii-san.
Sinbad: Good, check on Sheele and Leone and I'll be back in no time. But before that... *smirk*
Akame: What Nii-san?
Sinbad moved down and pressed his lips against hers. Akame was now sure that everything wasn't a dream anymore and she was extremely happy. Sinbad stopped and smiled then teleported away before kissing her on the cheek.
Sinbad went to fetch Seryu and Mine who were on an island full of danger beasts and his two clones. Sinbad sensed that they were waiting for him so he walked over. Mine, Seryu and Koro were having some dinner. Koro noticed someone was coming and became more vigilant before making out the familiar figure approaching them. Koro then trembled after recognising this person as the training it had just experienced was hellish and the one behind it was this very man.
Sinbad: KORO! *laugh*
Sinbad ran over to Koro and knew what his clone had put Koro through. Koro tried to run away but was stopped by Sinbad who had suddenly appeared in front of him. Sinbad picked him up and pinched its cheeks. Koro wanted to cry but no tears fell out. Seryu and Mine were excited to see Sinbad back because they wanted to have a bath after their exhausting training. Sinbad talked about their training and returned the girls back to base.
He then teleported over to where the boys where but didn't know what to say. He had only left them for not even a day but all they wore, was a leaf. He didn't want to know what they experienced. Bulat was still Bulat as he was laughing but Tatsumi and Lubbock looked like they had just died. They didn't want to say anything either so Sinbad just teleported them back to base and they went straight to their rooms. Sinbad went to sleep with Leone after a long day of surprises.
Meanwhile, Esdeath was standing before six people who were the new special police force of the Empire. This was the group formed to go against Night Raid and especially the elusive Sinbad. The Jaegars.
