Akame ga Kill

The Kingdom Falls… but the King rises

Hello everyone and welcome to my second story that I have made since my being here. The first one was sort of just to see how well I did in terms of story making and now I can see some of the errors I made so this is going to hopefully be a much better version of my typing skills. This is going to have a few OC's as well as an entirely remade Tatsumi after certain events take place. I am going to have some canon events happen before we actually get to a point where we completely side step the canon story both in the anime and manga. A big thing you are going to see is that Tatsumi will in fact, NOT have Incursio but a different Imperial Arm(s) that I custom made. You will also likely see other versions of this in other stories that I will try to make. So without further adeu, let us begin the story of an epic character.

Arc 1 The Awakening

Chapter 1 The God, The King, and The Dragon

Tatsumi had just arrived at the entrance of the Empire after his long journey from being separated from his friends on their way to the Capital. He made his way through the gates and made his way to the location that they decided on. Their plan was to get into the Capital's military and fund their tribe for the foreseeable future. Tatsumi was sitting on the main fountain at the central plaza where they were supposed to meet. As he sat there waiting for his friends to show up, he looked down at the heirloom he was given. Okay, not given it was more like he stolen a forbidden treasure. But he could not figure out how it was dangerous. It was a simple ring with gears built into it that you could play with. It did however have a few things written on it. One of those things was King while the other two were God and Dragon. It didn't make any sense to him but he wasn't focused on that right now as he had a more apparent problem.

A semi-young aged woman came up to him swaying her hips with swagger. She had long blonde hair that reached almost to her waist and a belt that gave off a weird vibe to him. He also felt that the woman had animalistic features about her and an absurdly large bust size. But he was snapped out of his thought when she started talking to him.

"Hey there cutie whatcha doing here all by your lonesome?" asked the blonde buxom.

He couldn't figure out why she was talking to him but he decided to humor her while he was waiting. He needed some way to pass the time after all.

"I'm waiting for my two friends to show up so we can join the Imperial Army. All we need is right here in this bag." Said the little boy.

He took out a bag that fit into his two hands barely, a bag full of gold coins and showed it to the blonde lady waiting to see how she reacted. It was typical of course as she jumped at the chance to get it.

"I have military connections! I can get you in and in a good position too!" She said very excitedly

Tatsumi silently chuckled in the back of his head seeing many people fall for this trick but he had tricks up his sleeve so this was going to be interesting.

"Really? You can do that for me?!" Tatsumi said trying to sound surprised.

"Yeah I can I just need some form of payment. And you seem to have some in your hands." The lady said with a smirk and half playful, half lecherous voice.

"Okay but first, what is your name and who am I meeting?" Tatsumi asked the blonde beauty.

"My name is Leone cutie, and I got a guy who's at the bar right now so we can go to him." Said Leone.

Both of them started to head off towards a bar while Tatsumi watched the girl from behind. He had to admit, Leone had a pretty good figure despite his luck. The girl occasionally looked back behind her to see if he was still following. While she wasn't looking though Tatsumi was picking up various rocks and putting them in the bag while taking out gold pieces and putting them in his backpack. He skillfully pulled this off and by the time they got to the bar, the bag had about half the gold that was originally in it and looked exactly the same. As they entered the bar Tatsumi noticed that only the barkeeper was there and no one else. It was to be expected though. No one should be at a bar at only 2:00 in the afternoon. Leone and Tatsumi took a seat at a table positioned off to the side to remain inconspicuous.

"So where is the guy you were talking about?" Tatsumi asked Leone.

"The guy is the barkeeper but he doesn't talk unless we buy some of his 'beverages'." Leone said with a smirk.

Tatsumi knew what she was implying and he knew that this would lead to a desired result so he decided to play along with it and get smashed in the process.

After an hour of drinking, blurred hazes, stumbling everywhere, and taking a nap, Tatsumi woke up in the bar to see that the bag was gone along with Leone. He smirked inwardly to himself but that conscious smirk turned to outward disappointment when he saw the time.

It was almost 10:00

Tatsumi sighted as he got up from the floor and retrieved his bag. He made his way back to the plaza and sat down near a lamp post and just deciding to wait out for his friends and for his hangover to go away. He had drank a few times but never to the extent where he would pass out. As he was caught up in his thoughts however, a carriage pulled up across the street from him before coming to a stop and saw some talking going on.

"Oh great, what now?" Tatsumi thought to himself while sighing.

He noticed a little blonde girl in a sky blue dress get out of the carriage and walk over to him. She kneeled down and looked at him for a few seconds before talking to him in a low voice.

"You looked lost little boy. Do you want me to take you to my place for the night?" asked the little blonde.

"I better be on my guard. She's just screaming trouble." Tatsumi couldn't help but accept her offer knowing he would have to be wired for the rest of the night despite being drunk to the heavens.

"Yeah, I would love to stay at your house." He said mentally cursing his luck with women.

The little girl smiled before promptly getting back up and skipping over to her carriage where Tatsumi also got in. The door was closed by one of the soldiers and they went on their way to the little noble girl's estate.

When they finally got there, Tatsumi was lead by the girl to the main area where he took a seat facing the fireplace at the main entrance. The little blonde came back with her father and mother and they all took a seat around the table and looked at Tatsumi.

"It's so good to see our little darling out helping the less fortunate in their time of need." Said the mother happily

"Indeed but I must ask young man, what is your name?" The older looking man inquired.

"My name is Tatsumi good sir, and thank you for letting me stay the night at your house." Said Tatsumi but he knew there was something off about these people. He would have to keep his guard up all through the night and flee if he had to.

"Ah, Tatsumi that is a good strong name. Innocent but full of resolve and strength. I have a feeling you will do great things in the future my dear boy." Said the hold man with a small smile while his silver mustache curved upwards a little bit.

"Well, I feel a little tired so is there a place you could let me rest until morning?" inquired Tatsumi.

"Yes just take the 3rd door down the hall to your right. There is an empty room there that you can use with a bed." Said the lady.

"Thank you so much!" Tatsumi exclaimed with a fake smile and walked off towards the room.

On his way there to his room he looked out towards the window and saw a large shack sitting out back. Tatsumi got the feeling that he should go to it. His intuition was never wrong so he went and set his stuff down in the room and made his way stealthily out to the rather large shack.

End Chapter

So here's chapter 1 guys. I have to say, compared to my first story this is definitely a step up from my previous story writing. Also I'm going to try and get the next chapter out as soon as possible because next chapter shit is gonna go down, bitches gonna die, and Tatsumi will kick some ass! Also I'd like to take this time to point out some things. One, Tatsumi is a little different, such as he will trick people or try to push a conversation in a certain direction but he's still more or less the little dude we know and love. Second the Ring will play a much bigger role as well. And one final thing, this story is going to center around Tatsumi more than it should and the Ring as it will get a voice to guide him through his troubled experiences. That means there's usually going to be only his point of view and it will rarely change. You'll know what I mean later on. That's all guys I'll catch you in the next chapter.
