He stares at her for a full minute, then turns back "You're the one I should be asking that question to", Zariha slightly turns back while pointing the sword at her "Why betray the Empire when you had all the power you could possibly possess?", "Do you even realize what they are doing, the corruption the minister is causing, and all the events that happened?". He crosses his arms and stayed silent, after a few seconds he clenches his fist "Strength is Justice, Strength is Absolute, without it what's the point in protecting if you don't have the strength to do so", he continues to ramble "You are weak because you don't have the courage to sacrifice troops to get closer to your dream, you were flawed from the very start".

Najenda lifted her head to looks closer at him "Your soldiers are just tools to you, a means to an end, their lives don't matter as long as you get what you want, am I right?", Zariha nods "As long as I obtain Ultimate strength, their deaths were not in vein", he opens the door and stops for a second "Now rot" he menacingly told her, when the door closed all Najenda can think about is what her brother used to be, before he had his current mindset.

After a couple hours they find a new base, although it looked oddly similar to the old one, Akame points at it "Now lets go inside", they looked inside the base and walked around to find out some of it looked the same, everyone found their rooms and rested for a while, Akame walks in the kitchen and begins to cook some meat, she had killed some danger beasts before arriving and collected their meat.

While the meat was cooking she sat down and thought about what to do for assassinations, a few minutes later while everyone was eating she decided to take a walk outside, as she relaxed she heard footsteps sprinting to her direction, she saw that it was a rebel soldier, "I…I have news" he said in a exhausted and tired tone, Akame looked confused "How did you even find us?", "We figured you would be in this base, since we've heard the other one was destroyed".

He takes out a note and gives it to her while running back, She looked inside and read all the details, "Najenda has been captured by the Empire, and is planned to be executed in 3 days, we advise that you be prepared and bring her back" she read, "They captured her" Akame repeated when she walked back inside.

Hunter enjoyed his food and quietly said "She makes the best cooking", Sheele smiled with her eyes closed "She has a specialty in cooking, so it isn't too surprising", she looks at him and asks "Can you eat as fast as her?" with a curious look, Hunter scratches his head and shrugs "I probably could, but I don't want to choke, and I want to enjoy the taste of my meals". Mine crosses her arms and looks down "is, anyone still sad about Leone?" she asks everyone, Sheele puts her hand on her shoulder "Yes, but you know, we can't stay in the past forever, it's not healthy", Hunter thinks about these words for a minute and stays silent, Sheele glances at him with a sad look, when Lubb was about to lighten up the mood Akame interrupts and announces "We have bad news". Hunter gets up "Whats the problem, what happened?" he asks, Akame looks around "Our boss has been captured by the Empire", "Are you serious?" Lubb asked, Akame nods.
