"Well it took me a while to find and get here but this the place." Akame said as she walked up to Tatsumis home town. Her shoes sank in the freshly powdered snow. She clenched the wood statue Tatsumi had been given.
"Who are you?" The village leader asked. A small murmur went thought the crowd at the sight of the statue in her hand.
"My name is Akame I am a friend of Tatsumi's, and I regret to inform you that he, along with Ieyasu and Sayo were killed." She sobbed a tear streaming down her face.
"What happened, I mean how, why?" The village leader asked completely shocked. The crowd was shocked some silent others saying it was impossible.
"There no way," One man said.
"She's got to be lying," said another.
"That look, those tears, those aren't that of a liar." the village leader sobbed.
"I don't know why, but I can tell you how." Akame said, tears streaming down her face. Akame gave a brief run down of what happened, afterward she collapsed sobbing into the snow.
"Excuse me for a second," the village leader said, tears still streaming down his face. A minute later he came back carrying a shining silver sword.
"Impossible the imperial arm Hope, but what is it doing here?" Akame asked.
"Allow me to tell you a story. You see Tatsumi wasn't born in this village. Supposedly this imperial arm was his parents, but someone came to his home wanting this weapons power. Him and his sister took the sword and escaped. They ran through the mountains for weeks looking for a village. But eventually they were found by a s class danger beast. But before I continue I should explain how this weapon works. This weapon works by manifesting the users will and resolve as power. But it has one very special technique. If your will and desire for something is strong than it can perform that task as a wish but the draw back is it takes the users life. Tatsumi's sister wanted him to survive so she wished that he would be transported to the nearest village. We than took him in and the village raised him as one of us." His face was flustered and tears steamed down his face. Akames face was showed her shock. He never told anyone of this.
"I see, but why tell me this?" Akame asked.
"So that you understand what is happening." Village leader said. Then the sword started the glow, shock waves from the power it produced blowing everything away.
"Wait please," one man said.
"No," the village leader said. "I wish that Tatsumi, as well as the ones that helped him over through the government and remove the taxes from our village are brought back in full health." The leader declared. In a second the light dissipated and the village leader collapsed onto the snow.
"Village leader." People all around shouted.
"Why did you do that , you know that he won't be happy knowing that is how he was brought back." Akame asked crying. But this time tears of joy.
"Because to bring back the saviors of the village of the village, one sickly, dying old mans life is nothing." He muttered with his dying breath.
"Akame you said it was?" One of the villagers asked.
"Yes?" She asked hurried to the leave.
"Please take sword with you and tell Tatsumi what happened," he asked as he handed her the silver sword.
"Of course," she said taking the sword. She quickly started running towards the capital, snow crunching beneath boots as she moved faster than she ever had before.
"At this rate I should get there in about a day," she thought to herself. Please, I pray this sword worked.
At the capital
Najenda had been working had all day and was taking a break at a bar.
"Hey Najenda your pretty how about heading home with me," some drunk man asked.
She punched him in the face and sat back down to continue to drink. Suddenly the contents of the table started to shake which was followed by a large rumbling. Najenda quickly ran outside avoiding falling objects to see 8 white lights shooting up from who knew where converging in a single spot and floating down to earth.
"What the hell is that?" Najenda asked as she ran over to the white spot avoiding all the fallen objects. "How is that possible?" Najenda asked as the light ball dissipated. Inside stood 8 extremely flustered night raid members. Sheele, Bulat, Chelsea, Lubbock, Mine, Susanoo, Leone, and even Tatsumi.
