Hey all and welcome to my first fan fiction. This is something I'm just giving this a try so don't expect anything brilliant or well written, I'm not a good writer and just have several problems blablabla. Just gonna have some fun.
This story is going to be all about Akame ga Kill. Instead of Tatsumi finding himself in the situation where he meets Aria and joins Night Raid, he will end up joining to fight against Night Raid. What will Tatsumi do though? Will he decide to accept the way the empire is run and fight against the Revolutionary Army. Will he also become corrupt himself?
Chapter 1
It was a bright morning and the sun shone warmly in the sky, emanating a warm, crisp feeling throughout the entire capital. Although this was true the civilians of the Capital lived in as much fear and sadness as usual. Tatsumi, after a long journey finally arrived at the Capital and stared in amazement at his surroundings.
"Wow," Tatsumi said in amazement, "this place is amazing." He said with a wide smile on his face. Tatsumi almost begins to forget why he's at the Capital and begins walking towards a coffee house. He enters but then immediately remembers why he is at the Capital. "Damn it." He hits himself on the forehead a couple of times. "I can't lose focus, I'm here to apply for the army first, I can do things like this later. Maybe if I'm part of the army I might get some money off at places like this." He chuckles to himself and leaves the coffee house.
As Tatsumi is about to begin searching for the guard barracks he hears a voice from behind him.
"Hey you." Out of curiosity Tatsumi turned around to see if the voice was talking to him. As he turners round he notices a tallish looking female with short blonde hair and two long bangs at the side of her head sitting on a table outside the coffee house. Tatsumi looked at her and quickly said.
"Hey you talking to me." She smiled.
"Yeah of course I am little guy, are you new here, you seem lost?"
"Oh, yeah I am." Tatsumi scratches the back of his head and smiles slightly. "Yeah, yeah I am. I came here to join the army; I'm just looking for the guard barracks. She smiles and puts her coffee cup down on her saucer.
"Well I do happen to know where that is but first why don't you buy me some sake." She chuckles. Tatsumi blushes ever so slightly and raises his hands facing towards her.
"Sorry, sorry I'm in a bit of a rush." He steps back and she pats her palm on the table.
"Come on at least have some coffee with me, I can tell you all about the Capital and the best places to go." Tatsumi begins thinking to himself.
"Well I guess I do have some time to talk with her, she seems nice enough. I'm sure though she will be different to the people at my village."
"Helloooo, you still with my little guy?" Tatsumi blinks and hey regains his focus.
"O…oh yeah sure." He nods and slowly begins to walk towards her and sits down on a chair opposite her and rests his jacket behind the chair. Tatsumi looks down at the table not sure what to say.
The woman begins speaking to a worker at the coffee house. "Another coffee please." The waiter nods and walks back inside. The woman looks back towards Tatsumi. "So, what's your name then little guy, I'm Leone." She offers her hand out for Tatsumi to shake it. Tatsumi looks up and smiles nervously
"I…I'm Tatsumi, Nice to meet you." He shakes Leone's hand and bows his head. Leone releases her grip on Tatsumi's hand and folds her arm and rests her feet on the table. A worker comes back with another coffee and places it next to Tatsumi.
"So Tatsumi, why are you wanting to join the army?" Tatsumi says with a sudden burst of confidence.
"I want to raise money to help my village, so they can live a better life." He says this while quickly getting up from his seat and forms his palm into a fist. Leone chuckles.
"Well ain't you confident when you want to be, good job kid."
"O…oh, thank you." He sits back down and drinks some of his coffee. "I feel like I got what it takes though, I already killed this huge Danger Beast before I came here and got a load of gold for it." he says happily.
Leone leans forward and rests her arms on the table. "Well you do seem quite sure of yourself Tatsumi but fair warning." Her voice changes to a more serious tone and her cheerful expression disappears. "The Capital isn't a wonderful dreamland you know. In fact, it's quite a bad place to live." Tatsumi locks eye contact with Leone and his tone also becomes more serious.
"I know that. I'm not looking for a perfect place; I just want to help my village. That's all there is too it." Leone frowns and taps her finger on the table.
"Well very well then, I just thought I best tell you that." She sighs and gets up.
"Oh you leaving now Leone?" Tatsumi said while looking up at Leone. Leone looks down at him with a vacant expression.
"Yes. This is goodbye…for now." She walks off.
"Well she seemed nice I guess." Tatsumi said to himself, "But I wonder why she was so against me joining the army." He shrugged his shoulders and sits back in his chair and continued drinking his coffee.
[30 Minutes Later]
Tatsumi is still in the same position as he was before, even though he still finished his coffee. Tatsumi sighs slightly in relaxation. "Ah, what a wonderful place, I don't know why Leone didn't want me to join the army." His eyes suddenly widen. "The army! Damn it, I forgot all about it!" He quickly gets up from his chair and puts his jacket back on.
"I'm such an idiot." He says while swinging his hand downwards in anger. After a while of walking around Tatsumi finally finds the guard barracks. "About time, I can finally do what I came here for." He neatens up his jacket and tucks in his shirt into his trousers.
"Right come on Tatsumi you got this." His nods to himself and opens the door. "Here we go." He says in his head. As Tatsumi enters the first thing he notices is several men dressed up in uniform doing many different activities.
"Oh, this is so cool. That's going to be me soon." Tatsumi then notices a large line of people, none of them wearing any type of uniform. "Oh, you got to be kidding me. Don't tell me all the people are also applying." So he gets closer to the line he begins to hear the conversation coming from the front of the line.
"So you will be a foot soldier in the army then."
"Oh God, you got to be kidding me." Tatsumi puts his head down and groans before heading to the back of the line. As Tatsumi is waiting he impatiently taped his foot on the floor. After a while it finally becomes Tatsumi's turn to apply.
He approaches the front of the line and there is a man with a bored expression on his face. "Hello, would you like to enlist." He says in a dull voice.
"Yes please." Tatsumi says while nodding his head.
"Very well then." He hands Tatsumi some papers. "Read the paper and sign and the bottom." Tatsumi begins reading the paper but skims through most of it as he is eager to finally join the army. Although something catches his eye. It says "No matter who you are, unless you are important you will start off as a regular foot soldier. NO EXCEPTIONS!"
"Ummmm." Tasumi look away from the paper and towards the man. "It says here that I have to be a foot soldier. Come on." He flexes his arms. "I'm too good for something like that." The man growls in frustration.
"Get out now boy." Tatsumi laughs.
"I'm sure this is just a test isn't it. I ain't leaving until I get an interesting role in the ar…" Tatsumi is quickly grabbed by one of the guards and gets thrown out of the building and into a wall. "ow ow ow!" he looks back at the building. "Hey come on, just give me a chance!" the guard who threw him out stares at him for a second before shutting the door.
Tatsumi punches the wall near him in a fit of rage. "Damn it, please don' tell me I already messed up my chances of getting into the army." He looks up at the sky and realizes it is getting late. "Well guess I'll have to try tomorrow." He begins to walk to the inn thinking about the events of the day he just had. As he turns the corner he feels a sudden pain in his forehead as he collides with another. He steps back and holds is head. "Ow, damn it!" He looks forward ready to apologize to the person he hits. He sees a young female in a guard uniform slightly rubbing her head.
"No, it's alright citizen. I am unharmed." She replied while smiling. Tatsumi stays silent for second before replying.
"U…umm excuse me miss, I was wondering, could you help me with something please."
She quickly answers back. "Of course, citizen!" She salutes proudly. "Seryu Ubiquitous, reporting for duty."
