the emperor's throne room

the emperor: we are very well pleased with your control in the northern tribe general esdeath.

Esdeath: thank you your grace.

Minister honest: now that your here in the city their is now the main threat to the empire that you can now put your sights on.

Esdeath: of course i will deal with night raid at my displeasure.

The emperor: excellent. Now is there anything that you deserve for your actions.

Esdeath: Actually their is something i rather been wanting lately. I been hopeing to seek love.

Both the minster and the emperor were really surprised about her decision.

The emperor: oh i see if your looking a man to fill your needs. Why not the minster.

Minster honest: Uh your majesty i don't think that.

Esdeath: the minster does not my physical standards. He won't be able to keep up with me. I have a list of requirements to what the man i love should have.

in the gardens

Honest: its unusually to see you like this general Esdeath.

Esdeath: its strange i have always thought of war and battle. Now their is this new feeling in my heart that wants to be filled.

Honest: its normal for humans to be attracted to the opposite sex. Now remember that you must deal with night raid.

Esdeath: But of course minster. But with permission i would like to put a team together that consists of imperial arms users to crush them.

Honest: But of course do as you will. Anything to crush the revolution.

Esdeath: thank you me and my new subordinate will gladly deal with night raid.

Honest: your new subordinate?

Destroyah: she means me.

the minster turned around only to meet with a creature with red skin hive like eyes and a demonic appearance. the minster fell over frightened to this creature's presents.

Honest: ugh what are you.

Esdeath: prime minister honest I would like you to meet my new subordinate destroyah.

Destroyah: so your the minister that is spreading corruption all over this place.

Honest: y-y-yes i'am.

Destroyah: calm yourself i am not going to kill you. The minister calmed down a little bit to the creature's saying.

Destroyah: i am just here to kill a certain individual and i see how your and my plans fall align.

Honest: alright if it seems that way that if you would help destroy the revolution.

Destroyah: of course they in the way of my target so i would fight alongside you to end this uprising.

Honest: good very good now if you will excuse me i must be off. He said that as he turned from the two and left.

Destroyah: what a pathetic coward. Esdeath: it seems you got the right impression of him. The emperor is the one in rule but its actually the minster that pulls the strings.

Destroyah: he my be able to corrupt people for him but that won't get him far. So whats this about putting a team together.

Esdeath: i am glad you asked destroyah follow me. They left the courtyard and made their way into the city.

The hideout

Everyone at night raid was still mourning over the death of sheele and decided to try to coup over it. Mine was trying to eat her food but was having problems due to her broken arm.

Akame: need some help

Mine: i don't need you to spoon feed me.

Akame: but if you don't eat it will get cold. Mine then sighed and decided to let akame spoon feed her. In the kitchen ren and tatsumi were cleaning up and were overlooking the two.

Tatsumi: man akame is acting like nothing happened. Guess she must be use to that sort of thing.

Ren: don't let looks deceive you. Tatsumi then looked back at ren.

Ren: Tatsumi death is something that nobody can get used to even if you seen it a thousand times.

Tatsumi: but how come akame is acting like nothing is wrong.

Ren: because the strong ones are always the one's that are most sad. Right now she is being strong for everybody but on the inside she is crying just like everybody.

Tatsumi: i had no idea people can be like that.

Ren: it just go to show that people would do a lot of things to make other's happy.

That night

Ren woke up in the middle of the night trying to sleep but couldn't so he decided to get something to help him sleep so he made his way to the kitchen.

Ren: man why is it so cold. Ren then sprouted his wings and made them wrap around himself to keep him warm. He made it to the kitchen to find something only to see akame looking around for food.

Ren: hey akame.

Akame: hey

Ren: up for a late night snack

Akame: no this was one of sheele's favorite foods. i was just having it so i have something to remember her by.

Ren: that's good you should always have something to remember of that person. Ren then walked past akame until she said.

Akame: mine told me on what you did for her. Ren then turned around to face her.

Ren: she did. well she needed it.

Akame: you took a really big risk. what would have happened if you were caught or killed. what would have been the point of that. Ren took in her words she was right what would have happened if he was caught or killed he would have ended up the same. But then he spoke

Ren: you want to know why i did it.

Akame: yes i do.

Ren: ok. The reason i did it was because i saw people that were sad. I saw people who were trying to figure out what they could have done to either try to fix it or not. But after hearing that sheele won't be remembered for her cause to this war that's what got me to do it. Because even if you think this line of work is something that puts a burden on us or how it was stupid for me to put myself and others at risk. I did it because it was the right thing to do even if you say otherwise. I made sure that mine would remember someone that she saw as a friend.

Akame was surprised to hear ren's words. He did it because it was the right to do. To help a friend in need when others wouldn't do it. She then started to cry.

Akame: your right. Ren looked at akame to see tears coming down her face.

Akame: we just stood there trying to figure out what we could have done to prevent it. Ren it's just you never get used to this sort of thing seeing your friends die while you can't do anything about it. It's just so hard to give over.

Ren looked at akame they said that they were assassins. killers that performed a sin to burden over their shoulders. But what ren saw right in front of him was not a assassin or a killer. What he saw was a girl trying to figure out what she was to people in this world. Ren then remembered that he was like that crying because people saw him as somebody different from others.

Ren then walked over to akame and hugged her. she was surprised that he was doing this. But this made her feel a little more calm.

Ren: akame people will always look at some of us to see that even tho that we my not look like them or do what they do. But you should always look to yourself to find what you should do for others and yourself. And i promise you that i won't die or let you die you deserve to see this revolution till the end.

Akame was in silence while ren still hugged her and looking at the words and the promise he made to her.

Akame: ren

Ren: yeah

Akame: thank you for what you said and done for me.

Ren: you're welcome now lets try to get some sleep.

Akame: ok

They then made their way back to their rooms.

The next day

tatsumi was training with bulat to help him get stronger. Akame was overlooking the two. Then ren came out with his sword.

Ren: morning everybody.

Bulat: looks like somebody is a little happy this morning.

Ren: yep got a good night of sleep and now i feel great. Tatsumi then looked at ren that he brought his sword out again.

Tatsumi: hey ren show bro your sword. Ren: alright. ren unsheathed the sword shining in the daylight. everybody was still amazed by its appearance.

Bulat: whoa that's some sword can i see it.

Ren: well that might be a problem for you bulat.

Bulat: why's that? Ren then stuck the sword into the ground and said.

Ren: try picking it up and you will see. Bulat was confused so he try to lift the sword out of the ground but to no avail didn't budge it.

Bulat: wow that thing is strong how is it that you're able to lift it ren.

Ren then walked over to them and said.

Ren: i honestly don't know i just got it so i have no idea how it works or why i am the only one able to lift it.

Tatsumi: maybe it's a.

Akame: it's not that heavy. The three looked back at akame for bulat and tatsumi shocked while ren was surprised to see that akame was able to lift the sword with ease.

Tatsumi: akame how are you lifting that.

Akame: what do you mean?

Tatsumi: me and bulat couldn't even lift it but you can just pick up with ease just like ren.

Akame: maybe you two are just scrawny. Bulat and tatsumi fell down in total pain to akame's words. while ren just stood there and laughed.

in the meeting room

everybody in night raid was in the room. because najenda just told them that general esdeath has returned to the capital

Najenda: leone i want you to go scout to see what she is planning.

Leone: you got it. i always wanted to see what she is like.

Najenda: she is a sadist psychopath who enjoys nothing but war. do not try to pick a fight with her.

Leone: ok ok i won't do anything stupid.

Ren: want me to go with her to make sure she doesn't try anything. leone was a little startled to hear ren say that.

Najenda: of course ren i am sure you're capable of keeping leone out of trouble.

Leone in her head: killjoy.

the city rooftop's

ren and leone found esdeath sitting down in an ice cream place. leone was on edge she was right there in the open waiting for her to strike.

Ren: don't even think about it leone.

Leone: but she is right their. With you and me we can take her.

Ren: it doesn't matter the reason that we are here is to see what she does not attack her just try to calm down.

Leone: ok i will try.

They looked back at esdeath to see that she is talking to someone in a red cloak.

Leon: who is that?

Ren: i don't. he stopped for a second to sense the energy that was around the hooded character. ren sensed it in this man it was the scent of pure evil and the need to destroy.

Destroyah: since there is no people around mined if i took this off for a little bit.

Esdeath: not at all.

the hooded figure took off his cloak to reveal his red skin like body his pincer like tail and his demonic appearance and let out a roar

Destroyah: REEEEEEARRRRRRGH.

Ren and leone were looking at the situation. leone was terrified she sensed all of the need of pure evil and destruction all around him like she was looking at the devil himself.

Esdeath: besides flying and letting out a roar what else can you do.

Destroyah: i will show you. As he said that he faced a empty street way electricity started to pulse around his face. Destroyah then letted out a huge purple beam of energy and shot it at the empty street and exploded. after the smoke cleared they saw what was left of the empty street only to realize that their was nothing left of it.

Esdeath: impressive.

Destroyah: thank you general.

Leone could not believe how much damage he caused with a single blast. she then looked at ren.

Leone: hey ren do you. She stopped at what she was saying when she saw ren.

Ren looked like he was about to attack his eyes were glowing and he was bearing his fangs and fists. He was about to let his instincts get the better of him. But he reminded himself that he was not going to attack. Then he turned to leone and said.

Ren: we need to go now.

Leone: You don't have to tell me twice. They went to the other direction towards the hideout to tell everyone what they saw.

Esdeath: hm they didn't fall for the ambush.

Destroyah: doesn't matter now he knows that i am here now so that's all that matters

Esdeath: i suppose so.

back at the hideout

leone and ren made it back to the hideout still getting over what they just saw. they then were greeted by najenda.

Najenda: so you two how was it

Leone: i don't know how i can put what i saw in words. Ren then putted his hand on her shoulder and said.

Ren: Let me tell her you go and relax for a little bit leone.

Leone: ok. She then left the room

Najenda: what was up with her.

Ren: we found esdeath. But she was not alone.

Najenda: what do you mean?

Ren: remember a couple of days ago about that report you told me about.

Najenda: yes

Ren: well the person that did it was their with her.

Najenda: so you got a good look at him.

Ren: i was about to let my instincts go at it when i saw him

Najenda: so what you're saying is that besides esdeath and the empire. We might be dealing with a bigger threat.

Ren: yes that kaiju wants nothing more than to destroy everything here.

Najenda: you said you know who it was. then who was it then.

Ren: his name is destroyah.

A day later

everyone else came back from their mission all except for bulat who died during his and tatsumi's fight.

Mine came out to the training yard with her arm better and said

Mine: ok which one of you is going to train with me. She sees tatsumi and lubbock were doing push ups while akame and leone were on their backs. Ren was just standing their looking at the wall.

Mine: ren you ok you seem a little different.

Ren: i am fine i am just trying to do something.

Mine: what exactly. Ren's back was glowing blue he then shoot his atomic breath straight into the air.

Lubbock: Jesus Christ ren warn somebody when you're about to do that.

Ren: sorry. Najenda then came out to tell everyone something.

Najenda: alright everyone i am off to HQ to find some new recruits for us. Akame your in charge.

Akame: ok

Tatsumi: can you please take this seriously. Najenda then looked at ren to see what he was thinking.

Najenda: you ok over their ren.

Ren: i am fine.

Everybody then looked at him to see what was wrong. akame walked over to him.

Akame: what is wrong. She looked at ren to only see that his eyes were glowing and beating red.

Ren: i am just trying to be ready.

Akame: for what?

Ren: for the fight that i am going to be in.

imperial cemetery

Esdeath: lever mieu and dadera you were killed in action. That means you were just simply too weak. But i will avenge your deaths.

Destroyah: you ready now esdeath.

Esdeath: yes let's go meet our new team.

Destroyah: I can't wait to meet them
