"Are you sure that is their next target.?" Najenda asked Tatsumi.

"Yes" Tatsumi added with a nod of his head. Tatsumi had informed them of General Esdeath's three beasts activity's and told her who their next target is.

Najenda ground her teeth together in frustration "Dammit" she stated. "If we fail this may expose us."

The other members of nightraid were in agreement. "I know but it is it worth the risk?" Sheele asked.

"I have a question" Tatsumi stated. "I know we work for the revolutionary army but isn't the three beast's target not a member?" he asked.

"Idiot" Mine scolded. "If we are able to save the former Prime Minister he will side with the revolutionary army as it is he opposes Honest, with him behind it the revolutionary army will have a lot more supporters" she explained.

"You are placing a lot of hope in the fact that he won't view us as just as bad if not worse" Tatsumi countered.

"That is a possibility" Akame agreed. "Though if we were to save former prime minister Chouri the advantages of him being in our debt outweigh the disadvantage" she stated.

"For a guy who is obsessed with Honour and dreams you are sure willing to let someone die" Lubbock commented.

"My morality is not flexible if that is what you are suggesting" Tatsumi replied. "It is more of a case where I do not suffer from the Chronic Hero Syndrome as much as others" he explained.

"Chronic Hero Syndrome?" Bulat asked. "Where do you get this stuff from?"

Tatsumi sighed "Why does every discussion regress into Q&A?" he asked.

"Q&A? You lost me there" Lubbock stated.

"Never mind" Tatsumi replied before turning to look at Najenda "ultimately the final call is yours" he stated.

Najenda took in a deep breathe. Praying silently that she was not going to make a mistake. "Tatsumi do you think that you can handle it?" she asked.

Tatsumi thought for a moment the three Beasts were all Teigu wielders thus depending on how they fought they may be formidable opponents "I don't know their capabilities so I would request someone as backup for support." he answered.

"Honest as always" Najenda replied. "Alright which one of you thinks that they can help?" she asked the other members of nightraid.

"I believe if its support that Tatsumi is looking for Mine and her pumpkin would be a good choice" Lubbock stated.

"Let her be" Tatsumi said "Mine has already survived one life or death scenario in the last seventy two hours give" her and Sheele a break. Or You come along instead" Tatsumi suggested.

Lubbock stared in horror at Tatsumi it did not seem as if he was joking "Me I don't think that I could handle them he stated quite shamelessly.

"Fine I'll go" Bulat stated. "I am the most suited to taking them on thanks to Incuriso" he stated.

"Fine then you''ll go with Tatsumi" Najenda stated.

"Fine given the delicate nature of this I suggest that we move straight away" Bulat stated. Tatsumi had already begun to exit the chamber.


A carriage with an escort moved through a small village. "How sad it is to see something like this" an aged man with a long grey moustache and a small beard stated. He wore a heavy coat over some sort of military uniform. This man was the Former Prime Minister Chouri. "A nation is said to made of its people" the former prime minister stated shaking his head sadly at the poverty he saw. "It is shame that it came to this."

"I still think that you should not be going back to the capital father its a den of vipers" said a young woman in her early twenties whit blond long hair and who wielded a spear.

"I'm sorry spear but I can't do that" her father answered. "As long people are living like this I can't stay in retirement" he explained. "If things continue I will have no choice but to oppose Honest to the bitter end."

"And I'll protect" you Spear stated with a cheerful determination.

"My, my you have grown into a fine young woman my child" Chouri said with a teasing tone. "Its a shame your gallantry is what scared most of your suitors off" he teased.

"That has nothing to do with anything currently!" Spear exclaimed interestedly. "Its not that I'm gallant its just that I am good with a spear" she thought "I mean if I met someone who is truly noble kind and just I would get married" Spears thoughts were interrupted by the approach of three menacing figures.

"Bandits again!" Chouri exclaimed "has the Empire's security fallen so far?"

Spear wasted no time in hopping out of the carriage as she did so she shouted to their guards "We'll deal with them like the last group she shouted as they charged.

As the three black figures charged on of them the man with with grey hair that he wore in a pony-tail and who had a moustache turned to the bulkiest of them an imposing man who had spiky blonde hair and white pupil-less eyes. "Daidara" he addressed the bulky blonde.

"Yeah" the blonde responded. The giant of a man readied his Teigu. Smiled as he lifted his Teigu the Double bladed Great-axe Belvaac. As he struck his smile turned into a frown. Instead of cleaving all the guards in two his arm seemed to be sliced in half instead. There in front of him stood another figure from what he could make out it was male, It wore a Navy blue type of uniform and the top part of his face was concealed by his helmet. Daidara didn't get to live much longer after that after his arm had been severed this new foe brought its sword up slicing off the top half of his skull.

"Liver we've got trouble" the small blonde member of the three beasts said to his comrade.

"It seems so Nyau" The tall one named Liver agreed. The two remaining members of Esdeath's personal guard were somewhat shocked over how easily their comrade was slain.

Spear on the other hand was in total shock. As that axe had descended she had recognised what it was and seen her whole life flash before her eyes. The out of nowhere a night in shining armour well metaphorically speaking had intervened saving her and her fathers guards. Still in shock she saw her saviour send her and her men a sideways glance before telling them "Run its dangerous here."

Not one to argue with her apparent saviour she and the guards regrouped and fled the area with her father. They ran into a man in a peculiar type of armour. Recognising it as Incursio she realised the one they are face to face with must be the hundred man slayer Bulat Raising her spear though she was sure she was no match for him Spear was about to charge when he spoke. "Prime minister its not safe here follow me" he stated. Gesturing for them to follow. Albeit reluctantly they did so. "Are you leading us into a trap?" she asked "what other reason could a member of nightraid have to help us either that or you've been paid to" she rationalised.

"Sorry to disappoint but you're wrong on both accounts" The hundred man slayer answered.

"Then why are you helping us?" she asked.

"If it was my friend who saved you just before he would say something like 'do the math'" Bulat chuckled while he is a nice guy on field he really doesn't believe in being circumspect.

"The gears of Spear's mind started ticking like mad until she reached a logical conclusion. "While you are assassins you also work for the revoloutionairy army" she reasoned aloud which means "That either you're kidnapping us or" She stopped the thought was to terrible to think of.

"Or?" Bulat asked telling her to continue.

"Or that someone who my fathers presence politically threatens wanted us dead." She finally managed to say.

"I think you know who that someone is don't you" Bulat stated.

"Prime Minister Honest" Spear snarled "That bastard!" She exclaimed.

"Careful don't lose your cool" Bulat stated. "Its best for the moment not to think about that try thinking of something else" he suggested helpfully.

Spear tried to and she found her mind coming back to the one who had saved her and her men "That man with you who helped us" She stated "Who is he?"

Bulat internally groaned. Tatsumi didn't like being talked about and Bulat definitely wasn't the type to gossip but he did need her to focus on something else. "Oh Tatsumi" he answered. "He's knew, Tatsumi is something of an idealist and a pragmatist at the same time. Though he does have a very strong moral code and sense of justice and honour."

"those don't sound as if they make good traits for an assassin" Spear commented.

"You're right" Bulat laughed. "He has said that he is not cut out for this kind of work but he is surprisingly efficient though"

"How so?" Spear asked intrigued.

""Well when we first met due to a misunderstanding four of us faced him" Bulat explained. "He beat overpowered four Teigu users without much effort though he did hold back as he wasn't trying to kill us." Bulat explained.

"How can someone be that strong" Spear asked amazed.

"I don't know" Bulat answered "Tatsumi says its from dedication and hard work and given that I have seen his training regime I really don't doubt."

"Tatsumi huh?" Spear asked herself as she felt herself blush thinking of him "what an interesting guy."


Liver and Nyau were making no headway. It seemed as if there foe was simply toying with them stalling for time so that the former Prime minister could make his escape. No matter how hard they tried to get passed him he as able to push both of them back forcing them to repeat the process further away than they did before. "this enemy may even may be on general Esdeath's level" Liver shuddered at the thought. "No he might even be stronger." For liver the thought that there was someone stronger than the empires strongest was a sobering one. "In this entire debacle he has yet to say anything to us nor has he yet to exert himself" Liver noted the former general able to pick up on the breathe patter of his opponent. "It is as if he isn't even trying he thought dismayed.

"I don't get it why isn't scream working on him?" Nyau asked in bitter confusion the musical properties of his Teigu had been all but usless against this enemy even when transforming into his enhanced form he was no match for it.

Liver saw for a brief moment a small mocking smile flash across his opponents lips "Maybe it is because your music is worthless" He sated answering Nyau's question.

"What how dare you!" Nyau exclaimed as he launched himself towards their enemy with a roar.

"No Nyau that's just what he" Livers warning was cut short as Nyaus head landed at his feet. "Punched clean off, what kind of monster is this?" he thought. Liver didn't have any more time as his opponent was upon him. Leaping back Liver thought "I have no choice I must use it" as he took he his opponent closed the distance while he was still in the air Liver activated his secret skill. Immediately ten red protrusions came out of his wounds and slammed into his opponent. His foe was able to block five of them the other five got him across his right arm and his torso. "I win" Liver thought as he was impaled by his opponents sword.

"Impressive using your own life blood as a weapon I guess the way you used Black Marlin was truly exemplary" his opponent stated.

Liver managed a small smile. He remembered. How Esdeath had saved him from rotting in the prison cell. "As one who exists solely to serve Esdeath I will be giving her your life" Liver stated to his opponent. "There is not antidote and the it is already flowing through your blood" Liver declared as his opponent shook. Then it stuck Liver is opponent was laughing "what?" he asked as he was unceremoniously thrown from the blade. His foe was laughing like a madman but there was evident joy to it. "Impossible" Liver stated. "What kind of calamity are you" Liver asked as he felt himself fading fast.

"Calamity that has a good ring to it" his foe stated. "I like it." walking over to Liver he loomed over him. "What am I?" he repeated Livers question. "I am the one who will set your empire aflame so that I may watch it burn" saying this he lifted his boot up and crushed the former general's head.

"Bulat I hope you are safe where ever you are" were liver's last thoughts as his brain turned into paste.


Tatsumi made a disapproving noise of derision as he made his way back. He had no idea why but when the poison was supposed to kick he suddenly felt as if everyone were as if they were ants. "Perhaps they were always like that compared to me and I have only just realised it" Tatsumi mused. It was a sobering revelation, It was as if he felt at that moment that he could do anything. While the feeling itself was addictive Tatsumi was able to remove all desire of it with his mental strength and discipline. "That was unbecoming of me" he scolded himself. Taking the remains of Liver's head, he also collected the two other heads of the three beasts. "I wonder how she will react to this?" Tatsumi asked himself as he placed it in a sealed parcel before wrapping it up and writing a letter of address. It read 'to general Esdeath from an admirer' on the inside of the parcel was another note which he had written as well this however was written in the blood of the three beasts and was much less kind. "I hope this is worth the effort" Tatsumi stated to himself as he departed to mail it.


Bulat let out a sigh of relief things had gone well he had been able to safely take the former Prime minister Chouri and his daughter spear to a secret base the revolution army had set up as a safe house. From there they would be relocated to a safer location. He spied Tatsumi as the former appeared again out of nowhere at the safe house. "Its been three hours where have you been?" Bulat asked. The hundred man slayer knew that Tatsumi should have only taken about twenty minutes at most, three minutes at least.

"My apologies I was just out tying up other loose ends" Tatsumi answered. "I am also setting the stage for the next act so that we have the advantage" he explained.

"Next act?"Bulat asked confused the way Tatsumi described things could be confusing unless you spoke the same language.

"Esdeath and Prime minister Honest will not take this defeat sitting down" Tatsumi answered. "Esdeath will re-evaluate her enemies as a whole and that I have framed my alter ego for this" he expanded. "Prime minister Honest is both a petty and creul man. He hates losing and behaves like a child, despite this his mind is crafty and he is able to think ahead for any situation."

"I know planning is great but are you sure it will work to our favour?" Bulat asked sceptically. He was unsure f Tatsumi's plan/s would work out well for them as a whole.

Tatsumi levelled a look at the bulky man though Tatsumi's face was hidden by his visor Bulat could still feel the penetrating gaze upon him. "No plan is perfect Bulat" Tatsumi answered. "That is why you must have back up plans in case of the first one failing this is a fundamental rule, Najenda understands it." He explained though Tatsumi did feel as though he didn't need to. "What I am doing is a fail safe to fall back on in case of an emergency, this is a contingent plan. That is set up to deal with a worst case scenario. So that nightraid's and the revolution army's effectiveness does not diminish." Tatsumi expanded before finishing with "To beat a person with the character Honest has you have to be at least two steps ahead of him in any situation., what I am doing is not thinking two steps ahead, no that isn't my job." Tatsumi stated. "What I am doing is forcing him to move several steps back by adding in rougue factors that cannot be accounted for. These rogue factors however are really on our side and are being controlled to look like rogue factors."

"Ah I think I get it" Bulat stated. "Whenever Prime minister Honest is scheming or about to act he is now going to have to take into account these 'rogue factors' not seemingly ruining his plans."

Tatsumi nodded. "I'm glad you understand" he stated. Before walking inside. Once they were inside he asked Bulat a question "How long before we are able to relocate the former Prime minister?"

Bulat thought about for a moment before answering "About a week or two I guess we are going to have to stay with them to ensure that nothing happens to them" he answered.

"That is acceptable though I suppose we are going to have to wait for a bit" Tatsumi replied nodding in thanks before walking outside. After taking his helmet off Tatsumi breathed in a deep breathe of the cold air.

"I didn't know that people could like the cold" a feminine voice stated.

Giving the barest hint of a glance Tatsumi saw that it was the girl from before who was with the guards "You've had a long day shouldn't you be resting?" he asked his back still to her.

"I know I should be but I looked at the Teigu you brought back and I remembered how close to death I was a few hours ago" she explained. "I have no idea what I was thinking when I charged those three I should've know I would lose" She stated. "They weren't bandits they were members of the imperial army far stronger than I could ever hope to be."

"Says who?" Tatsumi asked.

"What do you mean?" Spear asked him she was a little confused by his question.

"Who is it that says that you cannot be that strong?" Tatsumi repeated his question but being more directive.

Spear stood shocked for moment before she tried to answer "Well the difference between them and myself is so great that I cannot hope to"

Tatsumi cut her off there "That is the voice of someone who is defeated before the battle has even begun" he stated. "If your opponent is stronger than you then do what is required to close that distance." Tatsumi was very passionate about not giving in to this whole defeatist concept. "Your opponents greatest strength is also their greatest weakness use it" he stated. "It is easier to deceive someone who looks down on you. That can also be used to your advantage" Tatsumi explained. "what cannot be won with brute force can be taken with guile and other methods." Finally Tatsumi turned to face her "You are only as weak as you let yourself be" he stated.

"Wow the hundred man slayer was right about you" she stated.

"He killed one hundred and twenty eight people not just a hundred" Tatsumi stated he hated how some people liked to make things sound numerically attractive. "And what might I ask was Bulat right about?"

"Well he said your eyes glowed" Spear answered reluctantly for some reason she believed that if she looked into them she would be lost in his glowing sapphire eyse.

Tatsumi sighed "That wasn't all was it" he stated it was not a question. Sensing Spears discomfort he put his helmet back on. "Can you look at me while were talking now?" he asked.

"Uh yes sorry its just that your eyes are so distracting Spear admitted looking away to hide her blush.

Tatsumi saw it anyway but put it down to her being cold "distracting that a new one" he stated. "Its usually intimidating, penetrating and discomforting."

"Well I am happy to be a first" Spear said with a cheerful smile.

Tatsumi smiled at the sentiment though his smile was smaller and more guarded. "Did you want something he?" asked.

"Well yes" Spear answered. "I wanted to thank you for saving my father and all of my men" she stated.

"No thanks required its all in the job description" Tatsumi waved it off before walking inside. "I will have to have a 'talk' with Bulat about telling people about me" Tatsumi thought. Inwardly he gave a sigh "I guess I am going to have to make do with hearing Lubbock relating the events to me or I can have the copy I made show it to me, nah that'd be far to dangerous and suspicious. I guess I will have to make do with Lubbock" he thought almost sadly but only almost. He would have rather enjoyed the reaction his 'gift' was received.


About a week and a half later Esdeath stood in the audience Chamber of the capital."General Esdeath" The child emperor addressed her.

"Yes your majesty" The Empires strongest responded.

"Your execution of the northern campaign was suberb. As a reward we are going to gift you 10'000 gold pieces for your efforts." standing to his right was Prime minister Honest the man who really held the power in the empire.

"I am grateful for your charity your majesty" Esdeath replied "There was not a single survivor" she stated.

"I do have to apologise though" The emperor stated "When you requested to have six Teigu user's brought to the capital to aid you in the elimination of the group called nightraid. Two of your choices met an unfortunate end at the hands of another party."

No this piqued Esdeath's interest. "Another party?" she asked.

"Yes" the emperor answered. "We have reason to believe that the death of Seryu Ubiquitous and Doctor Stylish were at the hands of a recent menace"

"You don't know who?" Esdeath asked.

Honest cleared his throat so that he could be allowed to speak "This Angel of Justice as they are calling it is an enigma he has killed both wanted criminals and members of the Empire's guard along with its army" Seeing that Esdeaths was now paying attention to his the overly fat man continued. "No one has seen its face only that it wears metallic clothing hand its helmet is stylised as one glowing blue eye."

"Why do you call it an angel then?" Esdeath asked.

"Because of these" Honest answered taking out two pure white feathers "It leaves them on its victims marking it" he explained. We have reports that he wiped out an entire section of the city's imperial guard. On that night we did it we have eyewitness reports that he aided Nightraid by overpowering the teigu user Seryu Ubiquitous and her teigu the Hekatonkheires."

"I can tell that you are concerned about this Prime minister" Esdeath stated. "You have neglected to bring any food to stuff yourself with" she pointed out.

"You could say that but I am afraid that anything I take in passing he might have already got to and poisoned" Honest admitted. "After all he got into doctor Stylish's lab and killed him and his patient after that he destroyed everything there in an explosion that took out several of the surrounding buildings."

"It seems that you have a crafty foe" Esdeath stated she was relishing the chance to face an enemy like this. "Have no fear I will deal with this so called Angel of Justice" she stated to the Emperor.

"My thanks" the child emperor stated. "Though I feel as though gifting you wealth is not enough to express my gratitude Is there anything else you desire?" The emperor asked. "I will grant it."

Esdeath still with her head bowed spoke "There is one thing" She paused respectfully before continuing. "Might I dare ask."

"What is it?" the emperor asked. "Land? Status? Titles?"

"No your majesty" Esdeath replied. "I was thinking it might be nice to try being in love" She stated while smiling.

The Emperor and Honest were both shocked out of there minds. The empire's strongest talking about love. Was the world coming to an end? After a few moments convincing himself that this was not a joke or that he had not misheard the. "That's right!" the child ruler exclaimed. "You are of marriageable age and yet you have not married."

Honest was a little more confused as he knew the ins and outs of adulthood "But doesn't the general surround herself with those who adore her?" he asked.

"Those are 'pets'" was Esdeath's reply.

"Then may I suggest the Prime minister then he is a good man" The emperor suggested. Secretly the child wished to be rid of his advisor as he had confirmed that rumours of Honest's deeds were all too true.

"A good man he is" Esdeath stated. "But his blood pressure is far too high for my liking, his life could be measured in days." she explained.

"I am in perfect health thank you very much" Honest replied offended. "Anyway what type of man would you like?" he asked.

"I have the specifications written here" Esdeath said taking out a scroll from her uniform and showing it to them.

"Ah" the emperor noted as he read the list "I will make sure to have agents on the lookout for such a person" he stated. "If such a person can exist?" he thought. Giving a sideways glance at Honest he thought "I cannot rule as long as that man lives, I need to find a way to rid the empire of his disease somehow." Then it hit the child emperor. "I can't go to nightraid because they are suspect of being with the revolutionary army and will distrust me. But this Angel of Justice might be what I am looking for" So the Child emperor schemed to get back his crown.


"I must confess I never would have thought that you would be interested in such a thing" honest said to Esdeath after they had walked out of the throne room.

"It is quite strange I have never thought about anything else other than violence and carnage. So I have no idea where any of this came from." Esdeath admitted.

"Talking about love does not suit her at all." Honest thought before responding "well you are a living being so it was going to appear sooner or later though I was betting on it happening once you were well into your final years."

"That is impolite" Esdeath chided him. "But alas you could call it bestial instincts" she admitted. "Tough I was expecting my three bests to be here where are they?" Esdeath asked.

"I wonder about that too actually" Honest admitted. "I haven't even received a report from them thought I did receive a parcel addressed to you." With a quick motion of his hand a servant left and soon returned with an untidy parcel.

"Are you sure this is for me?" Esdeath asked him suspiciously. The words looked as if they had been done with a broken brush and it was untidy.

"I am sure they did seem to put a lot of effort into your name" Honest answered.

Esdeath saw that was true. The way her name was written was as if the writer had used blood to splash the paper. "Ok" she stated opening it. Inside there seemed to be another note stuck onto a water proof bag with some liquid inside. Taking the note without reading it Esdeath tried to carefully open the bag but it fell out everywhere spilling allovver the floor and Esdeath clothes with some of the fluid splashing on Honests''s as well.

Honest snorted disapprovingly recognising the smell of blood "Who ever it was did a good job giving you bloodshed even here" he stated disapprovingly.

"Esdeath was more focused on the forms that had fallen out as well. "So the Three beast were here" she stated as she recognised her three bodyguards heads.

"What who killed them?" Honest asked incredulously.

Esdeath unfolded the note it read "Dear strongest in the empire I found these three eyesores and decided to give them a make over I have to thank the old guy he gave a really good idea for what I would call myself. Yours faithfully The Angel of Calamity. PS I'm the guy who killed two of the teigu users that you requested be brought to the capital. PPS The look of Shock on Stylish's face was wonderful and the look of horror on Seryu's was delicious. PPPS Also I can't wait to try some new and improved torture techniques on you see how you like it just saying. PPPPS tell Honest that deaths coming for him and it's cry is of the calamity PPPPPS Honest dinner was delicious tell him I send my thanks." Esdeath was torn between rage and laughter so she settle on both. Crushing the note in her hand she proceeded to laugh madly causing Honest and some of the servants in the palace discomfort.

"Ah Esdeath are you perchance alright?" Honest asked concerned.

"Oh don't worry I'm fine" Esdeath replied. "Finally" she thought "I would never have imagined that someone would challenge me in such a fashion" Esdeath's Grin grew wider and more maniacal "I can't wait to see what this Angel of Calamity is capable of" she sated. Then turning to stylish she said "Also he told me to tell you that he rather enjoyed your dinner" she informed the Prime minister

Honest dropped the tray of cakes he had been given grinding his teeth in rage. What happened next was that Honest let out a roar of rage and started smashing everything valuble in sight. Esdeath let him continue until the emperor asked her to restrain him.
