Chapter 28

Everyone stopped what they are doing and looked at the giant robot that stood in the center of the Capital. "So the it's the Emperor's turn to enter the battle field?" Ana asked feeling tense from looking at Shikoutazer. "It looks like it." Kate replied feeling uneasy about the appearance of Shikoutazer. "Does anyone know what to do now?" Sheele asked looking at the others who are looking at the Imperial Guardian, waiting to see if it does something. It was then that a red light appeared at Shikoutazer'a mouth which grew. "Guys...it's going to attack!" Tatsumi shouted causing everyone to run just encase that the attack would head towards them.

After a few seconds, Shikoutazer released a massive energy beam that landed somewhere to the right of the group of Teigu wielders and it cause a massive explosion to occur. When the dust disappeared and everyone saw the damage that Shikoutazer has done, they became shocked to see that area has turned into a wasteland and everyone in the radius of the attack are gone. "So this is the power of the Supreme Teigu!" Najenda replied still in a state of shock. "It looks like it." The wielder of Spectator replied looking around at the the Revolution soldiers who are also in a state of shock.

"So what is the plan of action General Najenda?" The wielder of Shamshir asked feeling slightly scared and Najenda frown. "Don't know. Just keep on battling I guess." Najenda replied and it was then that Sheele notice something. "Guys...why hasn't Shikoutazer attacked again?" Sheele asked causing everyone to realize that the Imperial Guardian hasn't attacked again. "I think the Emperor is holding back due of his soldiers and the citizens of the Capital." Tatsumi replied causing everyone to relax slightly. "I guess that makes sense, the Emperor can't use Shikoutazer's power all the time then." the wielder of Balvaac said but Tatsumi frowned under his helmet. "I don't think so." Tatsumi said making everyone confused.

With Run and Leone, the two of them stopped fighting when the felt the earthquake and went to outside balcony to see the appearance of Shikoutazer and attacking the Revolution army. "What on earth is that Teigu? I never seen this one before." Run asked shocked but Leone grinned slightly. "That's the Imperial Guardian: Shikoutazer. The Emperor's personal Teigu." Leone replied making Run widened his eyes. "The Emperor's Teigu, but I never heard of the Emperor's Teigu." Run said staring at Leone. "That because the existence of Shikoutazer is only know by the higher ups." Leone explained causing Run to nod his head but then became confuse. "Then how did you know about it then?" Run asked causing Leone to smirk.

"Let's say that I know a dragon who a have good knowledge on Teigus." Leone replied making Run more confused and he was about to ask something but it was then that Leone wince slightly. "Are you okay?" Run asked worriedly looking at Leone. "I'm okay. It take more then a slab of stone to take me down." Leone replied referring to the stone that would have crush Run if it wasn't for Leone pushing him out of the way and taking the hit herself. "Wow, I didn't know you have a soft spot for your enemies. My, you making this lion blush." Leone said teasly causing Run to blush. "It not like that! I'm just concerned, that's all!" Run shouted causing Leone to laugh.

"A-anyway, why hasn't the Emperor attacked again?" Run asked looking a Shikoutazer confusedly. "Your Majesty. Why are you not attacking?" A voice asked making Run and Leone turned their heads to see a man with grey hair, a white bead and yellow eyes close to them. "That's the Prime Minister! He so close that I can kill him now. But there's Run who will probably get in the way."Leone thought, thinking the last part frustratedly and it was then that she saw the crown on top of the Prime Minister's head and she recognize it. "That's the Teigu Absolute limitation: Erastone. I have to be careful with that." Leone thought again.

"I can't attack my army or the citizens of the Capital." The Emperor replied from with in the Imperial Guardian. "For a kid, he sure can make good decisions...if it wasn't for the Prime Minister influencing him to make the wrong decisions." Leone thought and the words that came out the Prime Minister's mouth made Leone's blood boil. "Who cares about them, use Shikoutazer to destroy you opponents, forget about who gets in the way." The Prime Minister said being followed by silence. "...I guess your right." The Emperor said before attacking again. When Leone looked at Run, she became surprised to see him with a angry face.

"Leone...why don't I help you kill the Prime Minister?" Run asked causing Leone to smirk. "Now your talking my language." Leone replied whilst punching her fists together for she and Run dash towards the Prime Minister. Back on the battlefield, the Revolution army is in chaos as the soldiers try to dodge the energy beams that are coming from Shikoutazer restlessly. "What on earth is he doing?! Attacking his own soldiers as well?!" the wielder of spectator yelled as he watch Empire soldiers getting wiped out as well. "I guess that the Prime Minister has influence the Emperor to attack regardless of who gets in the way." Kate yelled back as she cover her face to avoid getting earth on it. "I'll go and try to distract the Emperor." Tatsumi said making everyone stare at him.

"Distract that thing!? Are you insane Tatsumi!? Najenda asked, staring at Tatsumi like he lost his mind. "What other options do we have? If we let this continue, then we surely lose. Everything we be fighting for will be for nothing." Tatsumi replied, trying not to let his voice crack up. "Tatsumi...what about Akame?" Sheele asked causing Tatsumi to look at her. "I make sure that I won't die." Tatsumi said determinedly causing Najenda to close her eyes. "Go Tatsumi, distract Shikoutazer as long as you can." Najenda said causing Tatsumi to nod his head before flying off.

"Now then, how do I distract a giant suit of armor?" Tatsumi thought as he fly towards the Imperial Guardian whilst dodging the energy beams coming from Shikoutazer. Tatsumi heard a hum from the armor. "Your right Tatsulot, I need to keep calm and think something out." Tatsumi said, guessing that the Biological Teigu can sense his nervousness. It was then that Tatsumi saw a energy beam cutting itself across the Capital and Tatsumi stopped when he heard the screams of people. The screams made Tatsumi's blood boil. "Hey Emperor! What sort of ruler are you that allows harmless people get killed by your actions!?" Tatsumi roared as he charged at the Emperor who notice him.

"That doesn't concern you." The Emperor replied as he moved Shikoutazer's arm in attempt to hit Tatsumi, however the duel Teigu wielder easily avoided the fist. "Teigus where created in the hopes of giving this nation a bright future, but you and the Prime Minister have been causing it's decay!" Tatsumi shouted as he swing Espadon at Shikoutazer however the attack did no damage to the giant suit of armor. "Shut up!" The Emperor shouted as he attacked Tatsumi with Shikoutazer's arm again. This time the fist connected with Tatsumi, causing him to be sent tumbling. "A sword like this won't make a scratch on Shikoutazer. I need to find it's weak point." Tatsumi thought as he regained his balance and remembered Susanoo's advice.

With the Night Raid members in the palace, Akame and the others had to move to the gardens where they arrived to avoid the attacks that Shikoutazer has been firing. They became surprise when they saw Tatsumi fighting the Imperial Guardian. "What on earth is that idiot doing?!" Lubbock shouted as he and the others watch Tatsumi battling the giant Teigu. "He's a stubborn one all right." Chelsea replied whilst sighing before looking at Akame who had a extremely worried look on her face. "Tatsumi...please come back safe." Akame said quietly causing Chelsea to smile slightly. It was then that the three of them heard harried footsteps coming towards them.

They turn their heads to see a Grand Chariot clad Wave and Kurome running towards them. "I was wondering if it was a possibility for the Emperor to have a personal Teigu but I never would never expect that it would be this size!" Wave exclaimed as he and Kurome got next to the three other members of Night Raid. "Are you two okay?" Akame asked worriedly "we're fine. It's thanks to Wave donning Grand Chariot that help us escape the rubble." Kurome replied causing Akame to smile slightly. "That's good to hear." Akame said with relief before looking up at the battle that is currently happening above them.

"So what shall we do?" Lubbock asked feeling slightly useless. "Nothing really, unless you want to be turned into a human pancake." Chelsea replied causing Lubbock to become depress. "I'm going to help him." Wave said making everyone stare at him and Kurome looked at him worriedly. "Wave, please don't." Kurome said in a worried tone of voice but Wave shook his head. "I must. Tatsumi saved my life a while back so I want to return the favor." Wave said before activating Grand Chariot's wings. "Wave, please make sure that Tatsumi doesn't get killed." Akame said causing Wave to nod his head before flying off.

Back with Tatsumi, he manage to find a weak point on Shikoutazer which is it's abdomen but Tatsumi is having a hard time getting to it has the Emperor is attacking him with Shikoutazer's fits. "Come on. I need to end this quickly other wise more people will die." Tatsumi thought as he blocked a fist Arun however he was sent flying. It was then that Tatsumi saw something coming out of Shikoutazer's shoulders and his eyes widen when Tatsumi recognize them. "Missiles! I hope they are homing ones." Tatsumi thought hopefully but he became shocked when most of them rained down onto the Capital.

"I need to destroy them before they kill any of the citizens." Tatsumi thought as he turned his attention towards the missiles before blocking the ones that were flying towards him with Arun. However the Emperor decided to attack Tatsumi before he could destroy the other missiles. "Damn it!" Tatsumi shouted in his head as he saw the missiles raining down to the Capital. However it was then that a black blur appeared and destroyed the other missiles. Wave!" Tatsumi thought relived to see the black armored Jeager wielding a spear.

"What are you doing Jeager!?" The Emperor asked confused at Wave's actions. "I'm sorry your Majesty, but it is a soldier's duty to protect the people and that is what I'm doing even if it means fighting you." Wave replied which cause the Emperor to growl in anger. "Why must there always be obstacles in my path for a peaceful nation?" The Emperor asked angrly before attacking both Tatsumi and Wave. "Wave! Why are you helping me! Shouldn't you be helping the Citizens move away from this battle?" Tatsumi asked as he blocked a energy beam with Arun. "Well you save my life a while back when we on Mt Fake remember? And anyway, Bols will be helping with the Citizens escaping the area." Wave replied as he dodge a fist. "That's good to hear." Tatsumi thought and he could hear Tatsulot humming in agreement.

"Do you have a idea on how to defeat this thing?!" Wave asked as he destoyed the missiles that the Emperor fired again. "The only weak point that I found is Shikoutazer's abdomen, so can you distract the Emperor for me please?" Tatsumi asked as he shoot a fire ball at Shikoutazer's face. "I try my best." Wave replied before flying around Shikoutazer and hitting different parts with his spear in the attempt to gain the Empeor's attention. "Now for the counter-attack." Tatsumi thought as he fly towards Shikoutazer's abdomen and attacking with Espadon and Tatsumi could see that the attack has some effect.

"I need to attack more if I want to make any progress." Tatsumi thought before rapidly attacking with Espadon. "Look out Tatsumi!" Wave shouted causing Tatsumi to turn his head just in time to see a giant fist hitting him and sending him flying down into the Capital. "This is going to hurt." Tatsumi thought before closing his eyes, waiting for the impact. However instead on hitting the ground, Tatsumi became confused when he felt two arms. "Hello Tatsumi, it's been a while." A male voice said causing Tatsumi to open his eyes to a man wearing a scary-looking mask. "Bols?" Tatsumi asked as Bols released him, letting Tatsumi stand on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Bol's asked and Tatsumi saw that the wielder of the now destroyed Rubicante has been running. "I'm fine thank-ouch!" Tatsumi was about to replied but wince in pain and Tatsulot tranformed back into her dragon form. "You don't look okay." Bols said worriedly. "Thanks for noticing." Tatsumi said causing Bols to laugh sheepishly. "Have all the Citizens been evactivated from the area?" Tatsumi asked causing Bols to nod his head. "Yes. I been helping them excape when you started to battle the Emperor." Bols replied causing Tatsumi to sigh in relife. "That's good to hear." Tatsumi said before looking up to see Wave continue to battle against the Emperor.

"Me and Tatsulot need to get back into the fight." Tatsumi said causing Tatsulot to nod her head and Bols became surprise. "Are your sure Tatsumi. That punch from that Teigu did a lot of damage to you and you hardly did any damage to it when you were attacking it." Bols said making Tatsumi frowned. After a few minutes thinking, Tatsumi's eyes fell down to Incursio which is currently strapped to his waist and when he looked at Tatsulot, she must be thinking the same thing. "I guess that the fuse Teigu will be making it's appearance again." Tatsumi said which made Bols widen his eyes. "The fuse Teigu? But can you handle the strain from using it?" Bols asked causing Tatsumi to frown.

"I...can, its the only option left if we want to defeat Shikoutazer." Tatsumi replied before looking at Tatsulot and nodded his head causing Tatsulot to nod her head as well. Bols took a few steps back when Tatsumi got into the stance that he used to activate Incursio. "Let's go Tatsulot. Incursio!" Tatsumi shouted before being consumed in fire and light. Back with Wave, he was having a difficult time fighting Shikoutazer and destroy any stray missiles and head towards the Capital. "This is getting tiring for me. If this continues at this rate then I'll probably loose unconscious." Wave thought as he could feel his energy leaving his body. It was then that the Shikoutazer throw a punch at Wave but the wielder of Grand Chariot couldn't dodge it, causing Wave to be sent flying into a building.

"Ouch!" Wave said as he could feel parts of his armor falling of. "For a brave Teigu wielder, I will give you a quick and painful death." The Emperor said as Shikoutazer turned it's head to look down at Wave and Wave's eyes widen when he saw a red glow appearing in the Imperial Guardian's mouth which grew. "Sorry Kurome, I guess that I won't live a bright future with you." Wave thought as he close his eyes and Shikoutazer fired it's build up attack. As the the energy beam got close to Wave, a armor clad figure got in in front of him and using the spear that the armored figure is carrying, he swing the sharp pointed spear causing the energy beam to be split in two.

"Why I'm not dead." Wave thought as he opened his eyes to see a a crimson and gold armored figure with dragon wings looking at him. "Tatsumi? Is that you!?" Wave asked causing the armor-clad figure to nod his head. "So that's the fuse Teigu that I heard about." The Emperor said causing Tatsumi to turn his head to look at Shikoutazer. "That's correct Emperor. This is the fusion between the Demon armor: Incursio and the Majestic Dragon: Tatsulot. Now...prepare yourself Emperor." Tatsumi said before charging at Shikoutazer. "take this assassin." The Emperor said before sending missiles towards Tatsumi however the duel Teigu wielder simply destroyed every single one of them.

"So this is Teigu that allowed Tatsumi to kill General Esdeath. I wonder how powerful it is?" Wave thought as he watch Tatsumi sending a massive fire ball at Shikoutazer causing the Emperor to be blinded by the smoke. As Tatsumi flew towards Shikoutazer's abdomen, he sense something threw the smoke and he saw Shikoutazer's fist heading straight towards him. However Tatsumi dodge it and swing his spear at it and everyone became surprised when the fist fall onto the ground. "Im-impossible! This Teigu is heavily protected by the armor. How can it get cut off so easily!?" The Emperor thought as he watch Tatsumi circle around him and fear started to grip his heart.

"St-st-stay away!" The Emperor yelled as he shoot energy beams at Tatsumi in the attempt to hit Tatsumi, however the duel Teigu wielder easily avoided them. "This is the end Emperor!" Tatsumi shouted before covering himself in flames and charging straight at the giant Teigu's abdomen. Everyone (including the Revolution army and the Empire army) whatched the arrow-like attack hitting Shikoutazer's abdomen causing the top half of the giant Teigu to leaned over slightly. After a few minutes, the flaming arrow suddenly broke through the Imperial Guardian and came out of the other side and the Imperial guardian started to fall into itself .

"That was a surprise!" Lubbock shouted in surprise as he and the others watch the result of Tatsumi's attack. "Well is this the fuse Teigu we're watching so what do you expect." Chelsea said whilst smiling."Well Sis, Tatsumi did it. He beat the Emperor's Teigu." Kurome said smiling but Akame had a worried look on her face as she gaze up at Tatsumi who is still airborne. It was then that Akame's eyes widen with horror. "Tatsumi!" Akame shouted as she watch Tatsumi fall from the sky.

Line Break

Meanwhile in a underground passage, the Prime Minister is running for his life. "Have I lost them? If I had Shambhala then i could easily escape. Why did I gave it to that failure of a son." The Prime Minister thought whilst scowling. It was then that he sense something behind him and he quickly duck his head just in time to avoid a paw that hit the wall instead. "Why you just do us a favor and let me kill you? It will make things a lot easier." A voice asked and the Prime Minister turned his head to a Leone who was grinning evilly. "And why should I do that?" The Prime Minister growled causing Leone to gain a thinking face. "Do you want the list? It is a very long one." Leone replied as she got into a battle stance.

"Trash like you should know their place." The Prime Minister said and Leone became surprised that he got into battle stance himself. Leone quickly charge at the Prime Minister and throw a barrage of punches at him but the Prime Minister easily blocked and avoided them. "Seriously!? How can a old man can be so good at fighting!?" Leone thought before throwing a kick at the Prime Minister causing him to skid backwards. "That speed and appearance...your using a Teigu, aren't you?" The Prime Minister asked causing Leone to smirk. "Yep, this is the Teigu King Of Beast Transformation: Lionell." Leone replied proudly causing the Prime Minister to frown. "I guess that you leave me no choice then to use my Teigu then." The Prime Minister said causing Leone to widen her eyes.

"He's going to activate Absolute limitation: Erastone! I need to get away from him!" Leone shouted in her head as she saw the jewel in the Prime Minister's crown started to shine. "Damn it!" Leone shouted thinking that her Teigu will be destroyed. However something went speeding past Leone and impacted itself on the shining jewel, causing the crown to break into two pieces. "Huh?" The Prime Minister said confusedly looking at his broken Teigu. "You know Leone. You shouldn't charge a head you know." A male voice said causing the Prime Minister and Leone to turn their heads to see Run walking towards them. "Jeager. Why are helping this assassin?" The Prime Mister growled at Run. "Let say that me and Leone have a common enemy." Run replied causing the Prime Minister to frown whilst Leone smirked. "Well then Run, let on with the killing then." Leone said causing Run to nod his head before the two of them charged at the Prime Minister.


Well then everyone, I hope that you enjoy this chapter.
