Chapter 6-Part 1: Kill the Absolute Justice
"General Nakakido and Hemi have joined the revolutionary army!" A soldier said as he was currently kneeling down on one knee as he was addressing matters in front of the Prime minister and the Emperor. On the throne stood the naïve boy named Makoto, who just so happened to be the Emperor of the empire that has thrived for over one thousand years. To the emperors left stood a big, fat man that was devouring meat. This man was Prime Minister Honest. He stood as Makoto's parental guardian and an advisor to the emperor. However, instead of making the empire happy… he is actually the cause of it. Underneath, the man's fatherly façade stood a man that was a savage beast who was consumed and constantly craved power. He was the reason this empire was corrupt. By manipulating the emperor's naiveté and persuading him he was the man actually in power. Makoto looked troubled at this new information and looked toward the Prime Minister who is continuing to eat his meat.
"Is it my fault? Is it my fault have I led the people of this empire down a wrong path that there is a revolution on the horizon!" The emperor said as he stood up from his seat with scepter in hand. The Prime Minister rolled his eyes at this.
"No, no your Excellency. You are doing a tremendous job as the Emperor! I just know that your parents, who died in a freak accident, are very happy to see their flesh and blood act like the proper emperor he is. If it's anybody's fault, then it's that treasonous group. Night Raid! They are the ones who have been putting the idea of revolt into people's minds. They need to be dealt with because if… all the stress is going to continue to make me gain weight." Honest said as he took another bite of meat. The emperor accepted what the Prime Minister said as looked up at him with curious eyes.
"Is there not a group that is hunting down Night Raid?" Prime Minister had a maniacal smile slowly creeping its way onto his face at the emperor's words.
"Actually there is. The one who just subjugated the north of rebellious activity. The Empire's Strongest General, Esdeath. I just got word this morning that she should be arriving here later on this day." The soldiers in the throne room grimaced at General Esdeath's upcoming arrival. The emperor looked to be in thought before nodding his head at the Minister's words. However, the Prime Minister was in absolute bliss as he couldn't wait for the entry of the Ice Queen.
'Yes, yes oh how I can't wait for Esdeath's return to the capital. Soon… Night Raid will be no more.' Honest thought as he grew another sinister smile and took another huge bite of his meat.
Tatsumi and Leone were currently walking down the lower district of the capital. It was already close to sunset and they were going after a small group that has been trafficking women as slaves. Mine & Sheele were off somewhere else taking care of another assassination that they were assigned to. Tatsumi looked around to see an assortment of people gambling or drinking liquor.
"This is where, I grew up. Right here in this part of town. What do you think, Tatsumi?" Leone asked suddenly. Tatsumi looked around once more before looking at Leone.
"It looks... good." Tatsumi said nervously. Leone hid a small smirk from Tatsumi as she looked around until she heard a loud voice got her attention.
"Is that Leone? Oh! It is! Hey, Leone want to have a drink with us?" A guy in the bar shouted to Leone.
"Nah, not right now. Maybe later, alright guys." Leone replied to the group of men, who cheered and gave a toast to her. Tatsumi looked at Leone with a curious look.
"These people seem to like you very much." Tatsumi said as he continued walking with Leone to their destination. Leone looked at Tatsumi and gave him a small smile.
"Yeah, well some of them do. However, some of them do-" Leone was cut off by the sound of trampling feet and a booming voice.
"Did you say, Leone?! Oi, you snatched our wallets before. You're going to pay!" Tatsumi and Leone looked behind them to see a group of drunk men charging towards them. Leone's eyes seem to widen in realization at what the man just said. Leone grabbed Tatsumi by the wrist and started to run away from the group of men.
"And these are the people who don't like me. Oh and if we get separated, regroup at the town's square." Tatsumi shot her a small glare, but sighed and continued to run away from the group.
Tatsumi ran around a corner before stopping and catching his breath. Both assassins were running around for the better part of ten minutes before losing the angry group of males.
"Okay, Onee-san. I think we lost them..." Tatsumi started to tell, Leone, but as he slowly turned around to expect to see her, he was met by nothing. Tatsumi narrowed his eyes in concentration.
'She said to meet her at the town's square... I have no idea where that is. Well...damn.' Tatsumi thought, but then something caught his eye. It was a girl that looked a little older than him. She had auburn in a ponytail that almost touched the ground and amber eyes. She had on the Imperial Watch uniform and she had a dog in her arms. 'Well, I don't have much of a choice, but to ask for directions. Hm, but that the aura, that the dog in her arms, gives off classifies it as a teigu. Better be careful.' Tatsumi hesitantly walked towards the girl and her...pet. Seeing somebody walked to her the unidentified girl turned to Tatsumi and gave him a smile.
"Uh, I'm lost. Do you think you can give me directions?" Tatsumi asked the girl as he stared at her and then the dog, who was giving him an emotionless stare. The girl looked over Tatsumi then smiled at her dog who was still staring at Tatsumi.
"Koro, I believe we have a innocent citizen in need!" The girl said to the dog, know known as Koro. The dog looked up at her and nodded it's head. The girl then smiled to Tatsumi and put out her hand. "Hello, my name is Seryuu Ubiquitous and I'm a justice seeker! May I have your name, innocent citizen?" Tatsumi raised an eyebrow at the nickname she gave him, but shook her hand none-the-less.
"My name is Tatsumi. I need directions to towns square." Seryuu nodded her head eagerly and motioned for Tatsumi to follow her as she led him down the street. Tatsumi noticed the dog still looking at him with its empty stare. "By, the way is that dog... what they call a teigu?" Tatsumi asked as he feigned ignorance. Seryuu held her arms showing off Koro to Tatsumi.
"Oh, Koro! Why yes he is a teigu. His full name is Hekatonkheires, but Koro is easier to say. Koro and I go around the capital and eliminated evil wherever it is. Together we are justice-seekers!" Tatsumi raised another eyebrow at the nickname she gave herself. Tatsumi nodded his head and continued walking.
Tatsumi and Seryuu stepped into the town square just as it the sky was slowly started to paint to darkness. Seryuu turned around to Tatsumi and gave him a smile, while sticking out her hand. Tatsumi shook her hand briefly before retracting it.
"Well, mission accomplished! Innocent civilian served!" Seryuu said as she got into a salute. Tatsumi just sweat dropped.
"Yeah, thank you for helping me out." Tatsumi said as she started to walk away. She shook her hand and waved.
"Anytime to help out the innocents. See you later, innocent civilian!" Seryuu exclaimed as she turned back around and walked out of the town's square. Tatsumi kept up his happy expression until his line of sight of her was broken. Tatsumi immediately fell into his stoic expression before glaring at the spot she was just in.
'I better inform, Boss about this girl. She seems like the only one in the imperial watch to even have a teigu, but by her dedication to justice will probably make her more vicious in battle. Such a troublesome girl.' Tatsumi thought before turning his head to left at the sound of someone walking. Leone made herself known to Tatsumi and put on a teasing smirk.
"Oh, Tatsumi~. I didn't know you had a girlfriend! How could you keep that away from your precious Onee-san?" Leone said which earned her a glare from Tatsumi. However, that glare soon melted into a knowing smirk. Leone recognized that smirk and swallowed a nervous lump.
"Why you are so right, Onee-san~! Why would I want a girlfriend when I have my adorable Onee-san with her cute cat ears~." Tatsumi replied in a teasing manner, while his smirk grew more as Leone blushed a bright scarlet while placing a hand on where her cat ears are when she activated her teigu.
"L-Lets just get this over with. F-Follow me." Leone stuttered as she quickly turned around, in an attempt to hide her blush. Tatsumi kept his smirk as he nodded to himself and followed Leone to their targets operation center.
Tatsumi and Leone stood on top of a roof on a decent sized complex. They punched out a hole in in the roof to confirm their targets. Inside were a group of men with handguns, an abundance of girls who had an glossy look in their eyes, and their target. One of the men went to one of the girls and held her face up to face him.
"Boss, this one here is broken." The man said as he looked back to his boss, who was looking at the girl while smoking his pipe. The boss clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Yeah, she looks broken. No worries, we are going to dispose of the broken ones soon." The boss said as the man smirked to himself and then smacked the girl in her face. Tatsumi noticed that Leone visibly stiffened. He looked over to her curiously and saw that she was glaring at the man who hit the woman.
"What's wrong?" Tatsumi asked as he Leone got ready to begin the assassination. Leone looked over to Tatsumi before answering.
"I know that girl that the man just hit from the slums. Well, no matter they are going to get what is coming to them. I will go first to get their attention, you come in an after and catch them by surprise." Tatsumi nodded once at Leone's words. Tatsumi looked down once more at the woman who were obviously on some sort drugs.
'Tch, can't say I'm surprised that somewhere in the capital this kind of business is going on. Well, these assholes are going to get what is coming to them very soon.' Tatsumi thought as Leone started her the assassination. Tatsumi watched as the bodyguards pointed their guns at Leone while Leone stood their smiling and then she snapped her fingers. Tatsumi taking that as a signal, Tatsumi unsheathed his sword and landed behind the group of bodyguards. Tatsumi quickly counted about half a dozen or so and slashed at one from behind. The man screamed in pain before Tatsumi plunged his sword in the man's chest. The other men surprised at another intruder quickly turned their heads to Tatsumi and looked at him with shocked eyes. Not only was Tatsumi giving them a cold glare, but they witness their partners soul absorb into Tatsumi's sword.
"Rule 1... never take your eyes off the enemy." Tatsumi said in a cold voice, which brought chills up the guards spine. Realization at what Tatsumi said sunk in, but it was already too late as they saw another one of their men getting punched to death by Leone in her Lioness form. The guards stood frozen at their comrade death, but Leone's voice quickly brought them out of it.
"Tatsumi, you take care of these guys. I got a bone to pick with their boss." Tatsumi nodded as Leone quickly shot towards the man behind this whole ordeal. Two men tried to rush over to intercept Leone, but Tatsumi slashed his sword vertically and out came an... arc? The arc flew through the air and went through the man. The man stood still before half of his body flopped on the ground. Leone quickly killed the other man who tried to intercept her and when she looked toward the other person she saw him in half and his essence going over to Tatsumi. Tatsumi stared wide-eyed at his sword, which was glowing gold and was silently humming until it stopped a couple of seconds after.
'What...the...hell.' Tatsumi thought as he looked at Leone. He shrugged at nodded towards the leader. Leone nodded and continued towards the boss. Tatsumi looked at the two more guards who were still holding up their guns at him, but were unable to move due to fear. Tatsumi noticed this and smirked at the two. 'I wonder...' Tatsumi's thought trailed off as he raised up his sword and slashed horizontally at the two body guards. His sword glowed as he slashed at the two and out came another arc of some sorts. It looked black, but some parts of it were white or gray. The two men had a looked of terror on their faces before the upper half of their bodies flopped onto the ground before their two black souls went into his sword. Once again the sword was glowing gold and hummed softly until it sound and glow dissipated.
"Were those...souls?" Tatsumi asked himself as he lifted up his sword and inspected it.
"Precisely." A deep booming voice said out of nowhere. Tatsumi looked around frantically, trying to find the source of the voice. Shaking his head, Tatsumi just dismissed the voice as his tiredness making him hear things. Tatsumi walked over to Leone, just in time to see her give a deadly punch to the boss's chest, successfully creating a hole through it. Leone looked over at Tatsumi.
"Mission Complete." Leone said as she and Tatsumi left the premises.
"So, you're telling me that those arcs you made were composed of the souls you absorbed." Leone asked in an uncertain voice. Currently the two of them were walking back from their mission. Tatsumi told Leone about what he thought those arcs were.
"Yup, that's at least what I believe it is. Anyway, what is going to happen to those girls we rescued?" Tatsumi asked as Leone put her hands behind her head.
"I know a doctor that may be able to help them, but I don't think that he will take all of them though." Leone replied as they continued their walk.
"It doesn't matter. As long as they can even have some hope, I'm happy." Tatsumi said as he looked over at Leone and gave her an innocent smile. Leone blushed and lowered her head. Tatsumi tilted his head slightly in confusion, but didn't question it.
"You know... I may have realized it right now, but still. Whenever, you smile you looked very cute~." Leone said as she grabbed Tatsumi by the shoulders and gave a small lick to his earlobe. Tatsumi tensed up and grabbed his ear in embarrassment.
"What do you think you are doing?!" Tatsumi yelled at Leone as his face gained a small shade of pink. Leone just chuckled before folding her arms.
"I was marking you... literally. If you grow up to be a good man then... you're mine." Leone said as they continued their walk. Tatsumi stared at the ground before looking up at Leone, the blush still present.
"Do you think, Sheele and Mine are done with their mission?" Tatsumi asked, but Leone just shrugged.
"Maybe or maybe not. Can't say."
Mine & Sheele are currently running through a forest trying to get back to the Night Raid hideout.
"Man, that Chibul guy was very cautious of our attacks." Mine said tiredly. Sheele just looked over at Mine and gave her a small smile.
"Well, in the end we still got the job done." Sheele said to Mine, but unbeknownst to them there was a shadow in the tree overlooking them. The shadow figure waited until the Night Raiders were in the clearing before jumping down and smashing a piece of earth. Mine & Sheele looked over at the figure with a curious look.
"Your description matches that of Sheele of Night Raid. My name is Seryuu Ubiquitous of the Imperial Watch and in the name of Justice. I will kill both you, evil-doers!"
