Heya! Glad to see some people are actually getting involved in the questions at the end but before we feature the (in my opinion) best responses, I'd like to address an issue with my structure. Yea yea, I know it sucks but most of that I do the majority of this on mobile and with all the autocorrect bugs (and I mean like really freakin weird bugs), most of the time I'm too lazy and just say "Eh fuck it" when it comes time to edit. But rest assured these issues will be fixed, now into the responses!

Tatsumi x Esdese
I really can't narrow this down to one comment without the others being left out for pretty much the same response. I do say I'd have to agree, it's not every day a sexy, well endowed general falls head over heels for you, Tatsumi should be on dat shit like white on rice. However the only conflict about this I have is her murderous tendencies contradict Tatsumi's ideals for the future of the empire. Unless one of them can change the other I do t see this happening very easily... But whatever, it's cute as fuck.
Raventus Dracoria
I think it would be interesting to see Tatsumi with kurome. There have been no ships with her yet so it might me a good hook for the story.
Well I've thought about this and I'd have to agree it would be interesting, though I'm not quite sure I wanna throw the ever so popular Wave x Kurome out the window so fast...
Chapter: Twilight's Edge
Tatsumi and wave both sat in the dining room with their face planted on the table in boredom, it was kinda scary how much alike they were sometimes. Esdese had them locked up here for the past week. His only form of entertainment was visiting Yui, fending off Edese's affection, and pounding his head on the wall. His trance-like state was interrupted as Bols and Yui came in from the kitchen carrying cookies. He sprang up the same time as wave and took in the smell, just the smell made him drool. But if he could smell it, that means she was on her way. "Wave, quickly!" He said looking at him, Wave responding with a nod, taking to cookie sheet out of Yui's hands and began scarfing down as many as he could. Tatsumi followed suit, and just when he thought he was safe a figure appeared in the door. Kurome watched them her eyes glued to them devoid of any reason, or rather glued to what they were eating. "H-hey Kurome." Wave began but didn't get to finish as she seemed to flash out of existence, the cookies platter swiped out of their hands, and she sat in the corner eating cookies. "Well... they're gone..." didn't said, when Kurome got ahold of something edible she's eat whatever or whoever tried to take it away from her. He sighed in disappointment and turned back to Yui and said, "Well at least they lived up to Kurome's standards." which earned him a chuckle. Over the past few weeks Yui had began to become familiar with the Jaegers. Bols taught her how to cook and make tea, normally he wouldn't be okay with a flame trooper teaching her anything, but Bols was a nice guy and had a wife and kid of his own. She adored Koro as much as Seryuu, something he couldn't bring himself to do after seeing it with arms and a mouthful of razor sharp teeth. Stylish didn't come around very often but when he did he tried to convince her to let him "perfect" her, so she pretty much avoided him. Yui and Kurome's relationship was... strange to say the least. Some days they would talk for hours non stop and others they would stare at each other intensely for hours on end. Wave tried being friendly but she pretty much kept her distance, she claimed it was because he smelt like fish. As for Esdese, she treated Yui like the child she never had, probably to get closer to Tatsumi though. Things had pretty much been relatively laid back for the time being.
However this mood came to an end when Esdese came in the room, and judging by her expression she wasn't here to flirt with Tatsumi. "As of last night three nobles we're assassinated in their own homes, all influential political members working for the prime minister. Needless to say we suspect this to be the work of Night Raid, seeing as to how all of them were killed by Teigu users." she said, her face set in stone. "In order to minimize casualties and possibly capture or eliminate a member of Night Raid we've been instructed by the emperor himself to guard their next most likely Targets. In order to do this we must split up into four pairs. I will take the first on the list," She explained setting down a list of the possible targets. "Bols and Kurome the next, Stylish and Wave, and Seryuu and Tatsumi will take the rest in order. Any questions?" There was a small silence before she spoke up again. "Good, Tatsumi, come with me."
A few minutes later, Tatsumi found himself with Esdese in the very room the prime minister had taken her to receive her Teigu. "No matter how powerful you are you can't go toe to toe with a Teigu wielder without one of your own. Choose the one that speaks to you, but keeps in mind, any other may very well reject, and possibly kill you." She said with a stern look. He gulped and began to walk the vast rows of weapon, all different shapes and sizes, some weren't even weapons, or so they seemed. As he walked further to the back, he began to hear a low murmur in his mind, getting louder as he followed it. The voices didn't become really any more louder, but rather more noticeable. When he finally came to to the back wall, he stopped at a rather over sized blade, hanging in front of him. It was pitch black and had silver tribal patterns traveling towards the tip. It's handle was meant to be held with two hands judging by the length. It seemed to call out, his hand reaching for it with a mind of its own. The moment he touched the handle, the voices vanished. He took it off the wall, extremely heavy when he looked at it (its blade almost as tall as himself) but in his hands it was as light as a feather. The silver patterns seemed to glow in response, it was obvious he'd found the one...
Later That Night
Tatsumi yawned as he leaned against the gate to the mansion, the ignorant noble wanted his privacy rather than letting them protect him within the house. So he ended up taking the front and Seryuu took Koro around back. Despite his care free nature, something troubled him. As far as he could see the noble was rude, but wasn't twisted or corrupt like the other one's Night Raid had targeted. The most he'd done was side with the prime minister but anyone who didn't was either would disappear or framed for some crime and executed. 'Well I guess we got lucky, there's no way Night Raid would go after this guy.' He thought and began to relax. His eyes slowly closed and he took in the soothing sounds of the sleeping city, but it wasn't long before the sound of rustling leaves caught his attention. Acting on instinct rather than reason, he picked up his blade, and swung it at the nearby hedge he'd determined to be the source, cleaving off the top half of the neatly trimmed bush. At first there was only silence, but not long after a figure jumped at him from behind, a kick aimed at the back of his neck. Using one of his Teigu's abilities, he spun around and the handled slid out of position and down the blade and the blade itself expanded into a rather large shield, absorbing the blow and allowing him to push the figure off. When his vision adjusted, it appeared his attacker was a woman with spiky orange hair, wearing an outfit that consisted of shorts that barely covered her thighs and a leather jacket that exposed her stomach and most of her cleavage. "Oh? So it looks like the prime minister grew a brain and hired some skilled guards. Guess we get to have a little fun tonight." She said holding a coiled whip in her hand.
"Wait a minute... we?" Tatsumi asked and turned around just in time find a rather large man standing over him, a green mohawk stretching across his head, a stone set jaw, and a large scar running through his eye giving himself and intimidating presence. He tried to raise his shield in time but the man thrust his fist into his gut, sending him flying right by the girl and landing landing in the wall behind him.
"Or not." The woman said beginning to walk way. However Tatsumi jumped out of the wall with little more than a scratch straight for the woman, who moved just in time to avoid the blade of his sword as it smashed into the ground. Without a moment of hesitation he swung it around to a low sweep at her, in which she nimbly stepped off it and slipped over him. "So this one does have a little spirit..." She said a sadistic smile creeping across her face. "Ghoul, go take care of the target. I'll be breaking pretty boy's spirit." And after licking her lips she unfurled her whip. The man apparently named Ghoul grunted and walked towards the gate. Tatsumi tried to run past her and take out Ghoul, but before he could reach him, she caught his leg with her whip and tossed him back to where he came from. "Sorry, but you've gotten Rosa all excited. And once she's excited she won't let you go until she's done playing." She said changing to a third person dialect and added in a seductive wink.
After hearing the gate break open, Seryuu dashed towards the front to assist Tatsumi, but stopped when she saw a rather large man slowly walking towards the manor throug the courtyard. "Stop right there!" She shouted running in front of him and blocking his path. "Assassin of Night Raid! By the powe of justice I bring you death." And at those words, Koro grew and bit down on one of her mechanical arms, a d when he let go a giant metal cannon replaced it.
Meanwhile, Tatsumi charged at Rosa with his blade raised. When he got within swinging distanice age jumped back as the blade smashed into the ground where she was, and returned with a slash across his shoulder, leaving a bloody gash in his coat. "Careful, Rosa might get carried away and break her new you before she can use it. That would make Rosa sad." She said but still had a smile plastered to her face. Once again enraged, Tatsumi ran towards her but before he could reach her she slashed her whip through the air just barely giving him enough time to raise his blade and block it. He slid back from the sheer force of the blow. Following the whip's path he found it created a gash in the stone below them, of she wanted to she could've very well cut his arm off with that first blow. "Oh so you noticed? Rosa's Ravager can cut throug almost anything. Anything but another Teigu, so what's yours called." She asked curiously, playfully wrapping a section of the whip around he index finger.
"None of your business!" He shouted and once again charged in head on.
Rosa simply sighed, "Rosa isn't interested in a dumb pet, she'll have to train you if she wants to keep you." She simply stepped off his head head and used him as a spring board to flip over him and land with grace,Tatsumi on the other hand face planting. Before he could fully stand up she kicked his side, forcing him to flip over and then straddled him. "So which method would you prefer, pain..." She asked holding out her whip, "Or pleasure." She continued and traced her fingers along the length of his chest. Tatsumi snapped out of his daze and tried to kick her off but she jumped off before he could laughing. He'd had enough of this, and he intended to put an ent to this. One more time he charged head on, following up with a vertical slash, however this time the silver marking on his sword glowed a bright green color. As usual she jumped back, but she wasn't expecting a wave of green energy to follow though with the slash.
'What?!' She thought as it flew towards her, threatening to split her in half. It was only quick thinking that saved her as she flicked her whip around one of the remaining fence grates and pulled herself to it. She managed to avoid death, however she didn't escape unscaseemed a long bloody gash ran down the length of her eyebrow to her chin, her eye not just a bloody pulp. She gripped it trembling, "Y-you hurt Rosa..." She said almost horrified. She clutched her eye and slowly her expression became a psychotic smile. "You make Rosa feel good... And I want to make you feel good!" She shouted and went into a whipping frenzy. He just barely manage to convert his blade I to a shield and hide behind it before she began, wildly slashing at him with no clear pattern. When he'd had enough, he raised his shield and charged towards her into he smashed into her, knocking her against the wall and unconscious. Tatsumi sighed before let himself fall into a sit, resting for a minute before he went to back up Seryuu.
having regained his strength, Tatsumi ran I to the courtyard to find Seryuu panting and blood as Koro faced off with the man who'd nearly doubled in size since the last time he saw them. They seemed to match in strength, until Koro bit off his arm and swallowed it. It seemed to be over, until the arm grew back in a matter of seconds. 'A living Teigu?' He thought, 'No wonder they're evenly matched.' Ghoul grabbed Koro's arm and tore it off just as Koro did to his arm, and then came the same result. Tired of watching, Tatsumi rushed in from behind and cut him through the middle, revealing an orb inside. Koro took this chance and bit down on it, crushing it between his powerful jaws and with the shattering of glass it was over.
Later, Tatsumi attended to Seryuu's wounds, gingerly dabbing then with a cotton ball covered in medicine. "Ow!" She said as he put it on a particularly deep scratch.
"Oh quit whining you big baby." He retorted rolling his eyes.
"But it hurts!" Seryuu whined like a child. After he finished, she turned to him and asked, "What about his accomplice?" She asked curiously.
"I went back to check where I left her after we finished off the big guy, but she was gone." He said a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"Damn Night Raid..." She said with a hint of anger in her voice. That's when Tatsumi's expression darkened.
"The weren't apart of Night Raid." He said looking at the yhe remains of the living Teigu. "Night Raid believes what they're doing is right, that woman was a complete sadist, not to mention their sloppy entry. They're not assassins, they're cut-throats..."
Later in the early hours before morning
When Tatsumi and Seryuu arrivedall of the Jaegers were waiting, apparently they were the only one's who had trouble. Free giving a full report, he joined Esdese in her room where she waited on the balcony. He stood beside her staring out among the stars. "Even if the enemy got away, you did good today." She said without her usual lovey dovey tone when she complimented him. This wasn't praise from a lover, it was praise from a general.
"Thanks..." He said slightly blushing as he scratched the back of his head.
"So have you thought of a name for your Teigu yet?" She asked out of curiosity.
He finally stopped to think about it. It could destroy as well as protect, it's purposes the best of both worlds. It's energy typed chanted with his emotion, between determination and anger, much like night and day... "Yea, I think I have..."
What's this? Tatsumi has a Teigu now? A new villain enter's the fold? What is this tomfoolery!? Well, as you can see I'm setting up the foundations from a new enemy organization, so what does this have to do with my question?! Here you go!
What new villain would you like to see in this organization? Basically, feel free to create an Oc, complete with Teigu, appearance, and personality and I'll tell you what I think about the three most interesting in the next chapter. But if you really give me a good, in depth description about them I might (with your permission of course) use one or two in the later chapters! Sound fun?
