Author Note : Hey readers, I am new to the whole Fanfiction thing and this is going to be my first story ever and I know I am not a professional writer and this may have many mistakes in it , but I just have this Idea in my mind for weeks and I wanted to share it with all the fans of Akame ga Kill. I hope you all like it.
As for the Story, the beginning it is set differently from the original Akame ga Kill Series, but it will include some significant parts later on in the plot. For the first few chapters I plan on writing, it will mostly be Tatsumi x Esdeath centric. Night Raid and the Jaegers will be joining soon after.
Also, the town mentioned here is a fictional one, I have made up. It name will be Ranexia. And the Captain you will read about is an OC, but he will not play an important role.
So, with that being said, Enjoy.
Chapter One : Blue Meets Green
-Outskirts of Ranexia-
An imperial Captain was rushing with speed trough an army camp on a horse trying to reach his destination as soon as possible. He passed many tents and soldiers until he finally stopped in front of a large white tent and jumped off his horse. The Captain then proceeded to walk inside.
He got stopped by one of the two soldiers, who were guarding the entrance. One of the guards turned inside to ask for the Captains permission, to meet the General.
"General Esdeath, Captain Legas just arrived here and wants to meet you. " stated the guard with a salute.
The General was analysing a map of a the town on her desk. She took a brief glance at the guard before turning her attention back to the map and marking some spots in it. The town called Ranexia was found guilty for supporting the Revolutionary Army, so she had to get rid of it for the sake of the Empire.
" He may come in." she said calmly, responding to the soldier. The guard nodded and went out of the tent to fetch the Captain, who was waiting outside.
" The general is awaiting you, Captain Legas " the guard said, before saluting and letting the captain pass. Said Captain nodded and walked past the guards into the tent. He saw the blue haired General inspecting the map and cleared his throat to gain her attention.
" General, I have urgent informations regarding our first assault force." started the Captain with a salute. General Esdeath looked up to him, interested in the news her captain was going to tell her. She was thinking that the defense of Ranexia broke down so easily and smirked at the trought.
" Oh? Have our troops crushed them already? And here I was eager to have some fun today. Such a shame. " She replied with a slight frown. After all, she was bored very fast for sitting in her tent.
The Captain knew Esdeath very well, after all he served her for years. She was someone who loved to kill, torture and humiliate. She was a pure sadist, who just loved to play with her opponents until they broke apart. He thought her reaction was to be expected. But he hoped the news he was going to tell her could lighten her up a bit.
"Well.. no. Actually quiet the opposite. Our assault force was crushed instead. Survivors said that it was a single teen boy.. he is definitely a Teigu user, General. We need your assistance immediately , before we lose even more troops ." the Captain tried his best to keep calm as he told his General the bad news. He expected her to be mad at him for losing their assault force. But instead she stood up from her chair with a big sadistic grin on her face.
" So that means I can still have my fun. The day is not going to get as boring as I thought."she said with a sadistic tone. The Captain felt relived for he was not going to be punished by his General. He knows what she can do and definitely doesn't want to experience that.
Feeling excited, Esdeath began to walk towards the exit of the tent. ' Single boy huh? Lets see if you are worthy. ' she thought as she left the tent with the Captain following her.
"Captain Legas, I will go by myself. As I take care of him, prepare the main force for backup and head towards the battlefield. When I am done, I will come and take back the lead. Then we will proceed with our main assault. Until then, stay standby at point Bravo." the General said as she stopped in front of the tent.
"As you wish General Esdeath." the Captain replied before saluting. He then brought his horse in front of Esdeath, which she took gladly.
She nodded and got on the horse of her Captain. She then began to ride towards the battlefield her Captain was telling her about. It was not that far from the camp, thats why she had to hurry up before the mysterious boy could move further into their camp.
On her way, she wondered what kind of power the boy had to do so much damage to her assault force. ' Maybe I should take him with me if he is indeed that powerful. He might be very useful as my subordinate. ' she thought , considering to make him her ally or not.
After a while of riding, she arrived at the supposed battlefield her Captain told about. She stopped and looked at the scene from a safe distance and noticed hundreds of bodies lying all over the battlefield. All of them, man from her own army. They were all massacred by a single person.
Her army was well known for their power and accomplishments. They had never failed her. But this time, what she was seeing before her was a huge failure.
She then saw a black hooded figure standing all alone in the middle of the battlefield. The figure was wielding two bloody swords in his hands. 'This must be the boy ' she thought with a devilish grin.
Esdeath then got off the horse and walked slowly towards the figure who still did not notice her presence. She didn't know how strong he was and hoped that he would at least give her a good fight before he died. If he was weaker then her, he simply would die or become hers. That was her final thought of the mystery boy who killed her entire assault force.
Said boy was simply standing there, he did not move his body. He looked around the pool of blood and the whole mess he was responsible for.
He actually felt a little sorry for the all the man who died by his blades. But he had to do it. Those people wanted to attack the town he lived in. They wanted to murder and he had to prevent that happening. He protected all the people from the town, his friends and loved ones. He did it for them.
He knew very well that this was the Empires Army. But he did not know why they were here, and why they suddenly decided to attack the town. Even if they had a reason, he would not allow innocent people geting killed by the corrupt Empire. One of the now dead soldiers told him that they are going to kill everyone in this town. And so the mysterious boy killed all of them to prevent that.
The boy sighed and looked around, trying to see if there are any reinforcements of the Empire. After a short time he spotted the General who was slowly walking towards him. He noticed her unique hair colour. Only one General who was known for her blue hair came up to his mind.
' That hair colour.. is that the Empires strongest they keep talking about..?' he thought with fear slowly building up inside him. He heared many stories about her. People would call her Ice Queen, because she could manipulate ice and was heartless to her enemies. She had the ability to kill an entire army with her ice. And she was well known for her tortures. This alone made the boy feel uneasy as she approached him.
He was truly frightened by her presence and the aura she was giving off. But he was no coward. He would gladly die for his town. That's why he wanted to fight. Even if he knew that he stood no chance against her.
' I don't know if my powers are strong enough against her. I can't let my guard down.' the boy thought. He then build up his confidence. If he was going to die, then he would die like a man while protecting his town.
He gripped his swords tightly. ' I have to defend Ranexia.' he thought as he began to march towards her. Slowly but steady, he made his way towards the General, who was also moving in his direction.
They got closer and closer with each step, the distance now gone and soon they stopped. There were only a few meters between them. Both of them eyed each other carefully, icy blue eyes meeting emerald green.
The General smirked at the sight of the boy ' He looks so young, can he really be this strong? ' she thought with interest. After all, she loved stong opponents. But he was different. Esdeath was also keeping in mind that she was looking for a suitable mate, who has to be younger then herself. And that boy suited her profile very well, but she would not consider her love life as a priority right now.
The boy on the other hand had other thoughts. She was the General of those people who wanted to murder everyone in his town. She gave the man the command to attack. And he could feel that she was emitting a really dangerous aura around her. This was certainly someone you don't want to mess with. ' I have to say, she is one of the most beautiful woman I have seen..but still, I can't be blinded by that. She is my enemy after all But she is very scary.. '
Then he noticed a tattoo above her cleavage and began to wonder what that symbol meant. He never saw something like that before. ' Perhaps a crest of a clan?' he thought. Before he could look further down his thoughts and looks were interrupted by the General.
" So..you are the boy who defeated my whole assault force I guess?" Esdeath started with a slight smirk, breaking the moment of silence between them.
He waited a moment and nodded, before taking his hood down, revealing his brown hair and most of his face. Esdeath thought that he was indeed handsome and cute, but still these thoughts have to be kept away for now. Right now, all she wanted was to play with him and test his strengh.
" Yes, it was me. And I assume you are the General they call the Empires Strongest? Esdeath was the name, I believe? " he asked while trying his best to sound professional, but with a hint of nervousness in his voice. This however did not go unnoticed by Esdeath and her smirk grew even wider.
' Cute.. trying to be a man in front of me but not able to hide his fear' she thought. Then she nodded at the boys question.
" Yes I am Esdeath, General of the Empire. May I know your name as well? And can you please tell me what made you kill all of my man? " asked Esdeath with a tone of authority.
She was not merciful with her opponents, normally she would kill them on the spot, or take them as prisoners and torture them, but he was different. She was interested in him. His fighting skill after their little chat would determine his future.
" My name is Tatsumi. And as of why I did that, your people were trying to attack the town I am living in, which I cannot allow. Our town has nothing to do with this stupid civil war. And I would do anything to protect the innocent people you and your army want to murder." Tatsumi replied with confidence while glaring at the General.
Esdeath looked at him for a few moments, surprised by his sudden confidence before chuckling lightly. She then crossed her arms and began to get serious again.
" Believe it or not, Tatsumi, your town is not innocent at all. We have records that there are many man who joined the Revolutionary Army from this place. Also not only that, but money and supplies were recorded being taken towards territories of the opposing forces . That's why we have to destroy this town. Your people are supporting the Revolution. And for this, your sentence is death. Do you understand?" Tatsumi narrowed his eyes at Esdeath.
" I do understand. But why the innocent? Why kill people who have nothing to do with this?!" he asked with anger in his voice. His eyes piercing into hers, looking for answers. He didn't understand why the Empire would be so cruel, and he wanted to know from the woman he was facing.
" This is war boy, remember that. The weak die and the strong live. It is as it is. " she answered with a dark smile. For Esdeath, there was no other natural rule between humans such as ' The Survival of the Fittest.' She grew up with that idea and followed it trough her whole life.
Tatsumi's anger grew even more by each word she said. He even started trembling from anger. He pointed one sword at her and took a battle stance. If she, a General of the Empire was thinking like this, then how would the government itself think of the people who were weak or poor. The thought sickened him greatly. The Empire needed to be changed. And Tatsumi was the man who was going to do after dealing with Esdeath. If he even managed to do that.
" THAT MAKES NO SENSE! THE STRONG HAVE TO PROTECT THE WEAK!" he yelled , ready to attack the woman any moment. For him, she was a sick monster. How could she even say things like that? The strong are not supposed to rule over the weak. Instead, they should protect them.
Esdeath then took her rapier in her hand and pointed it at the young boy. Clearly waiting for him to make a move.
" If you think you can protect your weak people then go on.. I dare you to attack." said Esdeath with a smirk. She was taunting the boy. She wanted to see his power. She wanted to see how he alone killed so many man of her. And he was going to show her just like she wanted. Esdeath's sadisdic nature took its place as she licked her lips in anticipation.
Tatsumi hesitated for a moment, his anger clearly developing into pure rage towards the General. He knew, this was a really dangerous situation to be in. Facing the Strongest General in the whole Empire was nearly a suicide mission. But he remembered the people of his town. Tatsumi swore to protect them at all costs. So he decided to take action against the woman who wanted everyone dead. He launched himself at Esdeath with a fierce battle cry.
" I'll show you who is weak! " he yelled, closing up on his opponent and clashing swords with her. The impact alone was so great that a wave of air spread across the whole battlefield. Esdeath looked at the boy in interest in her eyes. She knew that he was indeed a strong warior. Maybe one of the strongest she ever faced. The feeling of excitement made her heart race like never before.
For both of them, this was going to be a fight to be remembered..
Soo.. this was the first Chapter of my new Story. I hope you enjoyed it all.
