Akame ga Kill: True Revolution

Chapter 10: Kill the Hostage

"Dead?" Tatsumi couldn't believe it. One of his own friends...gone, just like that. That can't be it, right? Sheele was strong...no, stronger than this! "No. You're lying to me!"

"She's dead, and we're keeping her body with us, including her Scissor Blade. You best run home now, if you don't want the girl in your arms next."

Tatsumi had to choose between the two choices: take revenge or retreat with Mine. And as much as he wanted to kill them, he just couldn't. If the two of them couldn't handle the two, what choice does he have against them? He stood up, carrying Mine and Pumpkin in his arms, and left.

"Is it over, onii-san?" Nova came up behind them, Silver Raptor in hand.

"When he gets to a distance of 500 meters, shoot his leg."

"Okay."

"Other than Aria's near overload, I'd say this plan was a success."

Aria slapped Tatsuya's cheek, and yelled, "Success! Success?! I nearly killed that chibi there with the sl~ow suffocation! And why the fuck do we need to test him?!"

"I just wanted to see if he will stay loyal to Night Raid and the revolution. I mean, for all we know, he could just joined them for revenge. I just needed to give him a heads-up."

"So, if that was the point of visiting Tatsumi, then why do we have her?!"

"She's our hostage, kind of.", Seryu answered her question, to which Tatsuya retorted, "Hostage is such a...strong word. I prefer "borrowing a possible ally from our soon-to-be allies who view us as our enemies and would kill each and every one of us to give their 'deceased' comrade some peace"."

"Fuck you, it's still a hostage, dumbfuck!"

They heard a gunshot and turned around to see that it came from Nova's teigu. "What? 500 meters, right?"

"Let's get back to base. Aria needs her shot."

Renegade HQ, a few hours later

"So there, you should take it easy on your teigu. You don't have to keep forcing it to use the power.", advised Mazura, putting a small bandage on Aria's arm.

"It's hard to control it, okay. Aera is like an extremely hyperactive brat, who would do nothing but play around and do whatever the hell it wants."

"Have you tried reaching some sort of compromise with it?"

"Key word: tried."

"Anyway, you should try to keep away from the battlefield for now, and try to refrain from using Aera for about a week."

"Thank you, Mazura-san."

As soon as Aria stood up and was about to leave, Mazura chose to say, "You know, admitting your guilt is the best way to relieve some of your tension."

"I don't know what are you even talking about."

Infirmary

"So, how long 'til she wakes up?", asked Sera.

"Few hours.", replied Tatsuya.

"So, uh, where'd you get the blood?"

"I bought it. They sell 'em pretty cheap, though I would've bought more Dracostiks, but I felt this was more of a priority."

"Oh, those..."

The Dracostiks Tatsuya was referring to is similar to what the cookies are to Kurome, without any side-effects. The green head is basically dried and hardened Jade Dragon blood mixed with a few herbs, which remove the bitter taste of said blood. He takes it to suppress a certain part of him he truly wishes to keep hidden.

"Sera, since Aria won't be fighting for a while, she'll be the one to watch our 'friend taken from her friends who sees us as en-"

"Okay! I get it! I also think she's a perfect fit for this instead of Shiira."

"Yep, his idiotic man-whorish ways to flirt with every new girl I bring here is very uncanny. I still would've liked to punch him for flirting with Seryu."

"So, when will you two start doing it?"

"Dunno, when she feels ready, I think."

"Can't wait to give her few tips."

Honest's Office

"Night Raid is becoming more of a problem lately. They killed Ogre, who was supposed to be the leader of the group we set for him.", Honest said.

"I'd say, to keep going with the group, but instead give Esdeath the position. What better way would our strongest general to have her own task force.", Stylish suggested.

"No, I'd rather have Tatsuya lead them."

"So, it's the second coming of the Jaegers."

"Yes. Be reminded it was the original Jaegers that made the Empire undefeatable in the first place."

"Honest-sama, be also reminded that most of the members are either dead, missing, in Night Raid, or in another division. If you believe that Tatsuya will make another, make sure it is without any defections.", Budo said.

"Alright, Dr. Stylish, watch over them. I don't care what you do, as long as they don't revolt against us. And if Esdeath decides to leave service, kill her...then do whatever you want to her corpse."

"Will do, Honest-sama. The stylish Dr. Stylish will fulfill all your stylish needs as stylishly as possible."

"Budo, how's the search?"

"Not well, it seems."

"Keep searching, if you find someone who knows him, ask them immediately."

"About that, sir. Most of the ones who know about him are dead."

"Leave it to him to leave no witnesses."

"Although, there were sightings of Ex-General Reine in some parts of the Eastern and Western regions."

"I don't care about her. If she wants to be a nomadic hermit, let her be. Besides, both Tatsuya and her are close friends, so bringing her here would be even worse for us. So keep searching."

"Yes, Honest-sama."

A/N: Done! This is mostly a dialogue chapter with a few comedic moments here and there. We find out that there was the first Jaegers, led by Tatsuya. Also, we get a mention of what those toothpick things Tatsuya used in Chapter 3, and yes, they're also drugs. I also gave Aria bit of...depth, Sheele isn't dead, and Tatsumi got shot in the leg. So, what do you guys think? Read, Review, Critic, and Comment without bullshit. Have fun and enjoy.
