Noblesse Fanfic Part 32

[Crombell takes over the union]
[Crombell wants to wipe out humanity]
Kate: Goddammit! [Sighs] Frankenstein I'm coming over.
Frankenstein: Hm? Why?
Kate: I'm pretty sure that idiot will wake up soon. And he'll know where Crombell is. Plus, I really want to punch him in the face!
Frankenstein: ...
Frankenstein: Fine. See you soon.

Kate: Hey, Muzaka!
[BOOM!]
[Punches him in the face hard]
Muzaka: What the hell!?
Everyone: What the fuck are you doing!?
Kate: That's for all the bullshit you put Rai through!
[Kate sighs and takes out a healing potion.]
Kate: Here. Drink this idiot.
[Muzaka drinks it and gets better]
Muzaka: What the hell!? How did you do that?
Kate [snorts]: Idiot! Now come on, we need to have a chat with you.
Lunark: K-Kate…?
Kate: Hm? Oh what up, sis!
[Frankenstein: secretly enjoying this]
Frankenstein: Hehehe. She did it. I didn't think she'd actually do it. Oh I want to remember this moment forever!~
Lunark: 😰

Kate: Ok, so remember your buddy Crombell? That asshole took over the union and wants to destroy the world. He has a bunch of attack satellites orbiting the planet that can blow us all to hell. So we need to know where he is so we can kick his ass. Got it?
Muzaka: What?
Kate: I frickin told you if you stayed with him you'd have a front row seat to another tragedy! And now look what's happened! I swear to god! If you weren't Rai's friend I would kill you!
Muzaka: … I see.
Muzaka: Yeah, I can take you to him. I'll need at least a few days to recover though before I can help.
Kate: Just tell us where he is. If we can wait for you we will, but we might go regardless.
Muzaka: Raizel, I'm sorry. I keep causing trouble for you.
Kate: Cht! Well at least you know.
Kate: Honestly I'm so pissed at you I can't think straight! So it's up to Rai and Frankenstein if you can come or not!
[Kate walks out]
Muzaka: Shouldn't you guys be thanking me for saving Raizel?
Frankenstein: Yeah… about that….
Frankenstein: Not to steal your thunder or anything, but Kate and I already saved him.
Muzaka: What!?
[Rai nods]
Frankenstein: Well you did give him a power boost.
Frankenstein: That's probably half the reason she's so mad at you. You have no idea how hard she worked on that.
Muzaka: Why? What did she do?
Frankenstein: Oh boy. It's quite the list. She broke into the union multiple times. That would have been really dangerous for a modified human like her.
Muzaka: Why would she break into the union?
Frankenstein: She stole the data on how to make bloodstones.
Muzaka: What!?
Frankenstein: And then she made a whole bunch of bloodstones.
Muzaka: Are you frickin kidding me!? Raizel how can you be ok with that!?
Rai: I had my doubts too….
Frankenstein: Kate did all that in secret and worked on turning them into something master could use. Ultimately, her and I turned them into these rings [shows ring]. They can be used to transfer power to him to slowly restore his lifespan.
Muzaka: Frankenstein, you helped with this too?
Frankenstein: Well I found out about it at the end. Kate did most of the work. But that's not even the craziest part…
Muzaka: ?
Frankenstein: Then she told master and the Lord of the Nobles about it… at the same time.
Muzaka: You're kidding me? Did she really do that?
[Rai nods]
Muzaka: But weren't you angry? And even if you weren't, wasn't the Lord angry?
Rai: We were.
Frankenstein: Actually the Lord of the Nobles threatened to kill me and her. But typically Kate… she just stood there and told the Lord to do it.
Muzaka: What?
Frankenstein: Yeah.
Rai: Actually the thing she took issue with was Frankenstein being killed. She said since it was her fault he shouldn't be dragged into it.
Muzaka: What!?
Frankenstein: Yeah. I was surprised too….
Muzaka: So how did she not get killed?
Frankenstein: Well actually she told them that she wouldn't stop them.
Muzaka: What!? Then how is she alive right now after doing something like that!?
Rai: She said she wanted us to hear her out first and then make our decision.
Muzaka: But even if she's close to you you still would have killed her. She must have known that….
Frankenstein: She did.
Muzaka: And she still did this and confronted you?
[Rai nods]
Frankenstein: And the Lord. At the same time.
Muzaka: Are you sure she's a human? I don't care who you are, that's not something to do lightly…. Especially for a human, the kind of guts that would take is….
Frankenstein: Apparently that's just who she is. But you should know that. After all she picked a fight with you before, even though she's just a weak little human.
Muzaka: !
Muzaka: I forgot about that….
Frankenstein: Kate doesn't fear death. Even if master was going to kill her she'd just let him. She actually said that was a standing offer.
Muzaka: …
Muzaka: So then what happened?
Frankenstein: Well they heard her out and we decided to use the rings. So master's lifespan was already slowly being restored when you pulled this stunt.
Frankenstein: By the way, do you know why she fought you before?
Muzaka: Um… she said it was because I was Rai's dumbass friend….
Frankenstein: She told us she needed to knock some sense into you because she didn't want a repeat of what happened 820 years ago.
Muzaka: …
Frankenstein: That's the other half of why she's so mad. Because even though your reasons changed you did the same thing again.
Frankenstein: She went to all this trouble to help master, and you did this….
Muzaka: Oh….
Frankenstein: Well for what it's worth we appreciate what you were trying to do, but please never do something like that again. You have no idea how sad you made master when he thought he had killed you.
[Rai nods]
Rai: Muzaka I'm glad you're alive. But please never try to do that again. I wouldn't want to live because you died.
Muzaka: Raizel…
Muzaka: ...Alright I promise I won't do anything like that again.
[Rai smiles]
Frankenstein: Well now that that's settled, could you tell us where Crombell is?
Muzaka: Sure. I'll give you the coordinates.

[After Kate punched Muzaka]
Lunark: K-Kate… I can't believe you punched him like that….
Kate: Oh please. It's not like it was the first time.
Everyone: !!!
Lunark: What?
Kate: Yeah. He and I fought before.
Everyone: !!!!!!
Juraki: You're saying you fought Muzaka before?
Kate: Yeah?
Lunark: …..
Lunark: What happened? Did he win?
Kate: Oh yeah! I lost spectacularly! But I'd do it all again.
Everyone: …………………
Juraki: How are you alive right now?
Kate: Right…..
Kate [turns to Lunark]: Anyway, how have you been Lunark? Did you and Frankenstein go on your date yet?
Lunark: Uh… no. He's been busy with Muzaka.
Kate: Too bad. I went out with M-21.
Lunark: You did?
Kate [smiling]: Oh yeah! It's official! By the way, did you know he's actually my first boyfriend?
Lunark: Huh.
Kate: Yeah, well we were all experiments before. So this is actually a first for both of us. So how many people have you dated?
Lunark: Um, a few.
Kate: That doesn't sound like a lot. Did you just not like anyone? Actually, how old are you anyway?
Lunark: Uh….
[Kentas walks in]
Kate: Oh hey, Kentas. Where have you been?
Kentas: Hello. Kate, right? I went to see the Lord of the Nobles.
Kate: Why?
Kentas: To take responsibility for what happened?
Kate: ……
Kate: Why? I thought that matter was already settled.
Kentas: Yeah, that's what the Lord said.
Kate: So did you take her flowers or something?
Kentas: No. I was going to accept punishment on behalf of the Werewolves.
[Kate: So you brought her a human sacrifice?]
Kate: ……
Kate [sighs]: Lunark?
Lunark: Y-yeah?
Kate: You are the only one I respect.
Garda: You know if you weren't here with Frankenstein and the Noblesse, we would kill you.
Kate: I really think you need to reevaluate who you're talking to. Rai and Frankenstein are the nice ones. I'm the one that punches people in the face, remember? So honestly I don't know what you were expecting.
Everyone: ……
Kate [sighs]: Ok, wow. I didn't expect you guys to be so depressed.
Kate: Fine. I wasn't going to do this, but I think you could use some perspective.
Kate: You guys basically did the wrong thing for the right reasons.
Everyone: ?
Kate: There's nothing wrong with trying to be stronger. There's nothing wrong with trying to protect your people. It's the way you went about it that was messed up. You guys don't have any natural enemies. The only people that can rival you are the Nobles and they aren't interested in interfering with you or the humans.
Kate: But what if that wasn't the case?
Lunark: What do you mean?
Kate: What if the family leaders that betrayed them had taken over Lukedonia? Do you really think they would have left you alone? That could have become a big problem for you.
Everyone: !
Kate: That's why you're not necessarily wrong to try to get stronger. Both the current and past Nobles have had a strong culture of respect and non interference, but if someone who didn't share those views came to power it could be a problem not just for you but also the humans.
Kate: The problem is the way you went about it. What's the point of trying to get stronger if you sacrifice what you're trying to protect? Can you really live like that? Can you really take pride in who you are? Sometimes the price is just too high.
Dorian: I can't believe a human is lecturing us about morality. We must have fallen pretty far.
Kate: Oh don't worry. If anyone is dumber than you guys, it's the humans.
Everyone: !?
Juraki: Wait, but aren't you human?
Kate: Technically that is true, but as I told Lunark when I first met her I identify as a monster.
[Everyone looks at Lunark, Lunark nods]
Lunark: Yeah. You said you didn't care about power or being human.
Kate: Yep.
Everyone: Huh?
Kate [nods]: I don't care about Werewolves, Nobles or humans. As far as I'm concerned there are only two types of people: asshole and not an asshole.
Kate: So don't go thinking you're special just because I yelled at you and called you a dumbass. I do that to lots of people. Most of them actually…. Actually now that I think about it, is there anyone I haven't yelled at and called a dumbass?
Kate [snaps fingers]: Frankenstein. ...And I think he's the only one. No wait, I never called Lunark a dumbass.
Lunark: What about Raizel?
Kate: No. I yelled at him and called him a dumbass too.
Everyone: E-even the Noblesse…?
Kate: Hmmm…. I guess if there are others it's mostly because I haven't interacted with them. Anyways, yeah. Raizel kept trying to sacrifice himself so I threatened to kick his teeth in. I hate that kind of thing. Actually, that's one of the main reasons I started trying to get stronger. I hate people sacrificing themselves for me. So I wanted to become strong enough so that he didn't have to protect me. So then I started training and became bullshit levels of strong.
Lunark: Wait, then why did you punch Muzaka?
Kate: Because he made Rai sad.
Everyone: ?
Kate: Rai's dumbass friend tried to sacrifice himself to save him. He may have meant well, but he didn't take Rai's feelings into consideration at all. Rai wouldn't want to live because of that. Just like I wouldn't want anyone to sacrifice themselves for me, he wouldn't want that either.
Kate: I don't care if Muzaka is pissed at me. After we deal with that asshole Crombell and the union, if he wants to go for round two then bring it on!
Kate: Anyways, what you guys need to focus on right now is rebuilding and choosing a new leader.
Kentas: Yeah….
Kate: Personally, I'd choose Lunark. You could be Queen of the Werewolves!~
Everyone: !!!
Kentas: W-wait. Wouldn't that make Frankenstein King of the Werewolves?
Lunark: 😳
Kate: Hmm. No. Maybe more like Queen's consort? I doubt he has any interest in ruling the Werewolves. I know I sure as hell don't. [To Lunark] My only real question is whether or not they deserve you. You're easily the smartest Werewolf I've met and you're strong. Maybe not the strongest but still pretty strong. And you've saved your people twice now. You went and got Muzaka when you found out the former Lord was sacrificing your people, and you went and got us when Muzaka needed help.
Kate [to Kentas]: You just got yourself kidnapped.
Kentas: ...
Kate: Hmm. Actually if Muzaka hadn't gotten himself injured like that your people might have died. We came to help him and ended up saving your people from the union. Maybe I was too hard on him…
Kate: Cht! No. He's still a dumbass. He intended to die and that wouldn't have helped anyone.
Kate: Well, you should consider it Lunark.
Lunark: I-I don't know…. I never really thought of myself as leading our people….
Kate: Well you should. Oh, and another thing you should consider~ Maybe someday we could go on a double date!
Lunark: 😳
Kate: Yeah! You, me, M-21, and Frankenstein. We could all fight together. We could do couples, humans vs Werewolves, or boys vs girls! Then we could have a picnic after! It'd be great!
Lunark [smiling]: That actually does sound like fun….
Kate: Well something to consider for later :)
[Frankenstein and Rai walk in]
Frankenstein: Kate, we're leaving.
Kate: 'Kay!
[Kate gives Lunark a hug goodbye]
Kate [to the others]: Later!
Frankenstein: Also Kate, I understand why you did it but try not to punch Muzaka again.
Kate: Did he promise not to do it again?
Frankenstein: We had a talk with him and yes he promised.
Kate: Okay. Then I won't do it again.
[Kate leaves]
Frankenstein: Sorry about that, Lunark. She can be a little... passionate?
Lunark: T-that's ok. She explained why she did it.
Frankenstein: And I still owe you that date. Sorry there hasn't been time lately, but I promise it will happen.
Lunark: No. I understand. After we deal with Crombell and the union I'm sure we'll find time.
Frankenstein: You have my number if you need me.
[Frankenstein and Rai leave]
Kentas: Man, that girl is one strange human….
Lunark: Oh, that's right. You guys don't know… She's Frankenstein's little sister.
Everyone: !!!!!!
Dorian: Actually, that makes a lot of sense.
Kentas: Yeah… that explains a lot…
Garda: I can't believe there's two of them…
Juraki: I can't believe I fought her…

[Rai, Frankenstein and Kate are on the plane headed back home]
[Kate is curled up sleeping on Frankenstein]
Rai [to Frankenstein]: So, you and Lunark?
Frankenstein: !
Frankenstein: W-well…
Rai [smiles and looks at Kate]: Things have changed a lot since the past.
[Frankenstein: That's true. In the past it was just me and master. Now I have a Werewolf girlfriend and a crazy little sister…]
Rai: I think it's good for you.
Frankenstein: Hm?
Rai [smiles]: You don't have to worry about me like you used to. It's good for you to have a life besides just me.
Frankenstein: Master, you know I still care about you.
Rai: I know.
Rai [looks at him]: You don't have to choose between one or the other. We simply care about more people now.
Frankenstein [smiles]: Yes.
[Frankenstein [looks at Kate]: I wonder if I hadn't met Kate that day… how it would have turned out. A lot of this is because of her.]
