Chapter 11
After disrupting the fight between Night Raid and Jaegers and making a fool of them, tatsumi returned to his base , he did not settle in one fixed place, he used to relocate his base as he did not want someone to find him. Tatsumi had captured Stylish, he captured Stylish because stylish was a very knowledgeable person who had a great deal of information about the empire, the palace's security and the teigu wielded by the soldiers, tatsumi needed that information for his plans to work, that's why he interfered between Najenda and Esdeath, his main purpose was to capture Dr. Stylish. Stylish was unconscious, tatsumi opened Stylish's eye and peaked into his brain with the sharingan, tatsumi was now receiving a lot of information about the teigus and the son of the Minister who was a close acquaintance of Stylish and had been helping him in his experiments. Tatsumi had now collected all the information he needed and now he had no use for Stylish. Tatsumi sprinkled water on stylish to bring him out of his thoughts, when Stylish woke up tatsumi had a kunai ready in his hands, Stylish's eyes opened and he saw in front of him what looked like a god of death.
Stylish- "Am I dead".
Tatsumi-"No".
Stylish-"Who are you".
Tatsumi- "I am pain, be ready I am going to hand you the most miserable and painful death".
Stylish-"No please don't, I will do anything you ask of me, I can even provide you with the intel on the empire, please let me live".
Tatsumi-" I am afraid I have no use for you, I hate people like you who just think of other people as a livestock and genie pigs for your inhuman experiments, you disgust me, think all the lives you have destroyed and all the people you made suffer and now you are begging for your own life, it repels me, so all I can do right now is chop you off in pieces and send you to the afterlife.
With that said tatsumi began his onslaught, he first chopped Stylish's fingers one by one after little time intervals so that he could make the doctor suffer more and cringe in pain. He then cut down his feet then his arms, Stylish was screaming loudly in pain, Tatsumi was done with the chopping, he picked his kunai and started slashing down Stylish's upper body and his chest and abdomen area. Stylish was still alive but his body was a pile of blood, to add insult to injury Tatsumi now brought a huge amount of salt and started pouring and sprinkling it on Stylish which resulted in even more screams. Stylish was now wishing for his death because tatsumi was putting him through hell, eventually some minutes later Stylish passed out due to the huge blood loss and died. " Well that's one bastard down, a lot more to go" said Tatsumi.
Time skip: 2 days later
Jaeger's Room
The jaegers were sitting in the conference room recollecting the events that had transpired, they were supposed to encounter and eliminate Night Raid but instead were interrupted by a masked man who introduced himself as Tobi, Tobi then fought with them and managed to kill Bols and kidnap Stylish. The jaegers were disappointed in themselves that they could not take Night raid down and had casualties on their own side. Wave was fuming with anger, he could not sleep for the last few days, his friend was killed in front if him and he couldn't do anything to protect him, he felt useless and pathetic. Seryu was not feeling well too because one of her mentors Dr. Stylish had been captured by the masked man. Esdeath entered the room to commence the meeting.
Esdeath-"Why do you all look so disappointed"?
Wave-"What do you expect, we got embarrassed by that bastard who calls himself pain and were able to do nothing to night raid and failed our mission furthermore we also lost Bols and we don't know what happened to the doctor ".
Esdeath-"Don't let it bother you, we will take care of Pain and Night raid, just wait the time will come".
Ran-"Commander you look rather happy".
Esdeath-"Why wouldn't I be, I finally found someone who can satisfy my hunger , an opponent that can challenge me in battle(she started laughing ), and I also have to avenge my subordinates that he killed in the northern area and of course Bols and Stylish, they did die because they were weak but they were still subordinates, so the least I could do is kill the one that killed them".
Wave-"No commander I'll kill him".
Esdeath-"No you won't, I won't allow you to steal my prey, I know you are upset about your teammates death but that is a part of this job, these things keep happening in this line of work, and I don't think I need to tell you this, you already know you are no match for him ".
Wave-"But".
Kurome-"Shut up, the commander is right you are the weakest member of the team".
Wave-" I don't care, I can't forgive him, if I lack the strength then I have no option but to get stronger. Commander will you please train me".
Esdeath-" Your body is already at its limit, besides I need to train my self too for the fight against Pain ".
Wave-"Commander please".
Esdeath-"Fine as long as you don't become a nuisance and don't spoil my training".
Wave-"Commander thank you so much".
The disappointment on a lot of the members was gone thanks to Esdeath, they were up against some strong enemies but their commander was no ordinary women, she held the reputation as the Empire's strongest and that was a lot comforting to the team except one member who still looked very sad, it was Seryu, her mentor had been kidnapped by Pain and she was worried a lot about his well being. Esdeath told Seryu not to get disappointed and focus on getting stronger so that she can be of some use next time.
The meeting was over now, just when everybody was about to leave a guard knocked at the room with a box.
Esdeath-"What's the matter"?
Guard-"We have received a box, we don't know what's inside this we thought it would be better to bring it to you".
The box had the following written on it "To the fighter for justice, a gift from your well wisher".
Esdeath-"Seryu it is for you".
Ran handed the box to Seryu, Seryu proceeded to open the box. Seryu let out a huge cry the moment the box opened, inside the box was the head of her mentor Dr. Stylish. Seryu could not take this and collapsed. There was a note inside the box too which read "His screams were unbelievable, it was so much fun to kill him, I gave him a slow and painful death I wonder what I am going to do to you and your comrades- Pain".
