Akame ga Kill: True Revolution

By: Terrence Noran

Chapter 2: Kill the Return

A soldier was running through the hallway, heading straight for Honest's office. He burst through the door, where Honest, Esdeath, and three of her bodyguards are.

"Prime Minister Honest, we have news!"

"What is it then? Is it something urgent enough to interrupt our conversation?"

"There are two people outside calling for you, well only one of them did."

"What did he look like?", Honest said, picking up his wine glass and was about to drink.

"W-well, he looked like a normal kid..."

"Yes...go on."

"...his hair is long...and messy..."

"Anything else?"

"...And he has gray eyes."

Honest dropped his glass immediately and ran all the way to his window, looking down at the "visitors". One of them waved back at him and even did a two-finger salute. His gray eyes stared at him, appearing to be enjoying it. He then gestured to his companion and pointed up, her blue eyes studying him from afar. Honest fell back and shouted to the soldier, "Why didn't you tell me he was here?!"

"H-here? Prime Minister, I don't know what you me-"

"Enough excuses. Tell them to come in here."

"W-what abo-"

"NOW!"

"Yes sir." The soldier left the office, leaving Honest, who stood up and sat down. He was trying to calm down, although it failed.

"Who was that?", Esdeath asked.

"Uhhh...someone you need to meet.", he blurted out very quickly.

Outside

"You sure that was him? He looks kinda...fat and stupid."

"Yeah, that also was my first impression when I first met him."

"You sure this is gonna work, Onii-san?"

"'Course it will. Honest may be a fat, clumsy, gluttonous, corrupt fucking asshole, but...he still knows who to fear and when to shut up."

The door opened and a soldier came out, breathing heavily as if he ran. He took a deep breath and was about to welcome the guests, but no one was in front of him. He panicked and tried to find them.

Honest's Office

Honest was busy twiddling his fingers, waiting for the familiar guest. Esdeath was curious about why Honest would be frightened simply because of someone else's appearance. Out of nowhere, the wall exploded.

"Aww, that wasn't the door...oh well!"

"Onii-san, go in normally." He wore a white kimono, white hakama with a black stripe on the side, black open-toed shoes, and a white haori with a moon embelm on the back.

"Really?" He looked at Esdeath. "Oh hey. Long time, no see, Honest. You've gotten thinner, and more...feminine. Since when did you grow boo-" He stopped when a sniper rifle was pointed to the back of his head.

"Onii-san, I'm tired and I don't want to deal with your bullshit." Nova wore a silver top, gray shorts, silver sash with a black cross, which is the symbol of the Partas Clan, and white knee boots. She also had three black hairclips, and a large, high-powered sniper rifle strapped to her back.

"Fine, Nova. But still, I didn't know you became a general, Lieutenant Esdeath."

"How do you know about that?", asked Esdeath.

"Oi Honest, tell her who I am."

"This man...is um..uh..."

"C'mon, be the ass kisser you are and tell."

"His name is Tatsuya, and he was a close friend of Former General Najenda..."

"That's not it. You can stop hiding the facts or, Nova here will blow your head off.", Tatsuya gestured to the calmly standing Nova, who was extremely bored.

"Child?" Esdeath finally approaches her.

"Just call me Nova...Icdiath."

"What?"

"That's your name in our clan's dialect. Your given name is a translation. I'm surprised that you didn't know about it."

"Our...clan?"

"That's right. I'm also from the Partas Clan."

"I thought I was the only one left! How did you survive?! Wh-"

"Please shut up, Onee-san. Onii-san is talking."

Esdeath just looks over to Tatsuya, gesturing over to Honest.

"You got something to say?"

"He's...he was the...general before you, and the former commander of the Northern Army seven years ago. He exiled himself due to certain complications. You may know him as the Lone Army."

"I heard stories about the great general who conquered several tribes in one day, defeated an Ultra Class Danger Beast in one hit, and is one of the Three Great Demon Generals of the Empire.", Esdeath stated.

"Didn't know I was that famous."

Honest cleared his throat, attracting the two. "What have you come here for?"

"Simple. I heard that Naji's group and pretty much the Revolutionary Army are the ones responsible for the chaos happening here, including the recent murders of a noble family I am "acquainted" with. So, I want you to reinstate me as a General, not only replacing Naji but also adding a major power to our army. Or...if you have any other "interests", I'll be sure to hear them out along with a fellow general here. What's it gonna be?"

"I assure you, we are okay and we don't need help."

"Well, I don't mind you refusing me...but, what if, let's say, I side with Night Raid or the Revolutionary Army? With my power and smarts, I could've easily destroyed this place, and probably putting your head on a pike."

"Yo-"

"I wouldn't dare? I WOULD NOT DARE?! Let's switch that point. I dare YOU, Prime Minister Honest, to refuse any and all offers made by me. Without my support, how will this place function? I put you in that seat, along with that brat of a King. Without me, this place will function, but all the support goes to me, and I can influence them to choose a side. What would you do then?"

"..."

"Okay, that settles it. Nova, let's g-"

"WAIT!"

"Yeah?"

"I...accept your help. I will put you back as a General again."

Tatsuya simply walked out the hole, accompanied by Nova.

"W-where are you going?!"

"I going home, porkchop. We'll be starting it tomorrow."

Nova grinned. Oh she can't wait.

'Step one, complete.'

A/N: And there goes Chapter 2. Sorry if this seems rushed or jumbled. I have a lot on my mind, plus I'm editing the other ones as well. So, the MC's name is Tatsuya...and, no, he ain't related in any way to Tatsumi. So, he's reinstated as a General again and, it's among the few steps to his plans. Also, Esdeath finally meets Nova, you know, they're from the same clan except...for a few things. Anyway, Read, Review, Critic, and Comment without bullshit. Have fun and enjoy.
