Next chapter coming soon.

September 1962

Outskirts of Berlin, Germany, Esdeath's estate.

2130

A knock was on the door. It has been over 20 years ever since on this Earth. She did notice that her looks don't match her age. Her theory turned out to be correct. The demon blood that gave her the Imperial Arms to control ice made her age slow down. Her looks are that of a person reaching thirty.

The knock gets louder. She approaches the door and finds an officer was at her doorstep.

"General Esdeath. We found something that is of interest." The captain spoke.

The major directed his men to bring in a young man. "This." said the captain.

Esdeath was shocked. The face, the eyes, the hair, down to the structure of the body. It was none other than her ultimate crush. Tatsumi. He also appears the exact same age and looks the same as the day he died in the Capital.
"We've found and caught him outside. He killed several of our guards. It was difficult to take him down but we got him nonetheless. But we've noticed that his powers were that of a suit of armor that resembles more of a dragon. Is there an explanation? What would you like for us to do with him?" Asked the major.

"Of course, I will answer. But first, let me be with him." Said Esdeath. The captain acknowledges and he and his men left the room to be left alone with her new "pet". The captain felt a cold shiver, this isn't the Esdeath that he knew.

"Get up Tatsumi. I know you're awake." She told Tatsumi.

"Alright. I'm getting up."

Esdeath, the ice general, both in name and in the heart, embraced Tatsumi and began to pet his head. "Good boy, your master is here." Esdeath said.

"I'm not a pet." Tatsumi lunged away from her arms pushing her back.

She called for the captain. "Let the Fuhrer know about him. Tell him I have finally reunited with my pet." The captain acknowledges and runs off to let Hitler know back in Berlin.

"What is happening, where am I?" Tatsumi said. Looking around for an escape.
"You are for certain no longer in the Empire. But a new Empire on a new Earth. The Third Reich of the Nazi Regime." Esdeath answered.

Tatsumi can remember vividly his final moments in his previous life. He remembers the faces of his friends. The face of his love, Mine, leaving burying her near the river. But most importantly remembering the sad face of his last friend, Akame, crying. Dying in her arms. After dying he saw a bright light. A figure of light and hymn of angels singing in a language he doesn't know or heard of. The figure of light carried Tatsumi to a place that is of no space and of no time. He extended his arm made a sign in front of Tatsumi. He gently tapped Tatsumi from the head to the heart, then from Tatsumi's left shoulder to right shoulder, stopping at the center of Tatsumi's lips. Speaking in a tongue that Tatsumi doesn't understand. The being of such bright light, Tatsumi could barely make a face that of a bearded man with dark brown hair. He suddenly appeared in this world but has a sense of purpose but doesn't know what that purpose is. Could he have been given a second chance?

"Tell me what happened, Esdeath." Tatsumi asked Esdeath.

Esdeath approached Tatsumi and embraced him again but as he lunged out again from her arms. Esdeath swiftly chopped Tatsumi, knocking him out. "Now, now. It's just the two of us. I will explain all later. But first, let us sleep together." Esdeath spoke softly to Tatsumi.

Morning

As Tatsumi woke up he realized he was in the same position as he was when he first slept in the same bed with Esdeath. Her being the bigger spoon.

He carefully gotten up and looked around. It was certain. This is Esdeath's room. But he noticed many things that were out of place. Namely the red flag with a white circle with an X with lines coming out of each line, that is hanged upon a wall. He looks around a bit more and noticed a map. It's substantially different than the one he knew in his previous life. Namely, the territory of the Empire doesn't exist. But what exists is several nations with names he never heard of like the Nazi Reich, the Socialist Union to the east, and the West, Spain, Portugal, and a continent called the United States/ Monroe Alliance. Esdeath soon woke up as well.

"Good morning Tatsumi." Esdeath said softly.

"Okay, I want to know what's going on here? Especially with what is happening." Tatsumi said.

"So, do I. But you'll learn in good time. Now then time to eat breakfast. Because today you'll not only meet an important man but also training. Understand that Tatsumi?" Esdeath stated.

"Is that what you want me to do? Train. To be what, your pet, and I see your keeping secrets away from me. You're just the same then as no- "

Before Tatsumi could even finish his sentence. Esdeath encapsulated his middle body in ice.
"Please Tatsumi, just give me a chance. I knew I blew it the last time. But please. Just give me a chance." Esdeath spoke.
"A what?" Tatsumi asked.

"A chance. For can't you see. We are in a new world, a new Earth. A chance to start again from scratch. For in this world, I was alone. I had nothing. But now, I, have, you." Esdeath responded to Tatsumi. He took in her words. But undetermined to not be moved by her. As he already knew what her heart truly is.

"I too once had everything. But people like you took them from me. But for you, this world gave you everything because you made them give up everything. I don't have everyone here. All those who I cared about, gone. Taken by"
"ENOUGH!" Esdeath exclaim.
"It's never enough for a person like you. All actions have consequences. I see still that your philosophy still stands even in this world. Just wait till you see the day. Where you have to face your consequences." Tatsumi retorted.

"You're stubborn as always Tatsumi. Why can't you see that I'm on the winning side of history? I'd do anything for your love. Why can't you accept what I do for you?"

"Because. All it takes is one battle, one false move. For everything to change. That is what I see. I see that you never truly loved me. What you see as love is false. So go ahead. If you truly loved me, then end me. End my life, spare my body all of the pain that you'll inflict on."

Tatsumi waited for an answer from Esdeath. Esdeath didn't make a sound.

"You're wrong. Tatsumi."

"What?"

Esdeath simply put on her white general outfit and left the room. "I'll be right back."

A few minutes pass by. Esdeath came back inside with guards and a young slave woman.

"No. Please, don't make me do this! I swear I'll do anything you want!" The young woman was crying on the ground. Speaking in Russian. Esdeath kicked her to make her silent.

Tatsumi was shocked by this sight. He didn't understand what the woman said. But knew he had to do something about it. But was unable to.
"I'll give you a choice. Join me or she takes your punishment."

Tatsumi knew this was a tough choice. But he responded, nonetheless. "Never"

"Hm. Just to let you know. You've brought it upon yourself. Tatsumi." Esdeath motioned to guards to strip her. She then ordered them to beat her with their rifles. "Why are you struggling. You communist swine? He could have saved you, but he was too selfish." Esdeath spoke in Russian to the young woman. The guards proceed to beat the woman 30 times each for a total of 60 beat marks.

"Your refusal is what's killing her. Tatsumi. Now time for your punishment."

The young woman bloodied the floor. With her backside being fully bruised. Crying repeating some prayer that was incoherent. "Now go ahead and clean my floor with your tongue." The young slave woman proceeded to do as Esdeath says. Crying and sobbing and choking up blood. "Did you learn your lesson Tatsumi?" asked Esdeath.

"Yes. I have. Now please let that young girl free." Tatsumi responded.

"Alright. But be careful of what you wish for." Esdeath proceeded to pull out a Luger and pointed at the woman. As the young woman looked up. She cried out a no in her language. Esdeath pulled the trigger. *Bang*. The young slave girl collapsed dead.

Tatsumi was at a loss for words.

"You're bad at lying Tatsumi. Perhaps more lessons will change your mind. Probably even break you." She proceeded to walk out the room and the guards followed suit, closing the doors behind her. Leaving Tatsumi alone in the room with the unnamed young Russian slave girl.
"I promise". He says. "I promise that your death won't be in vain." Tatsumi's eyes began to roll out tears. As what he saw today made him realized that he should do everything in his power to defeat Esdeath and help liberate this world from her tyranny.

Endnote:

I suggest playing Hymn of the Cheribum for when Tatsumi remembers his last moments.
