Here it is another fresh chapter for you! This time I'll really need your opinions, since I came to a conclusion. Should Tatsumi have an Harem? Because now that Mine is returned we'll have some romantic complications, I want you to decide! Well, without any further do, let's get to the new chapter
White Fang headquarters
"WHAT DO MEAN BY THAT?" Emerald yelled at Syura
"If Cinder is in Esdeath's hands, then she is dead" Syura replied "I'm not gonna attack Esdeath for a corpse"
"But…" Emerald tried to reply but failed
"Forget about her, she is dead" Dorothea said
"I don't care, I'll save her" Emerald whispered and then Everyone except Mercury, who was behind her, began to laugh
"Well, good luck! I suggest to kill yourself before getting caputered" Syura said as he putted his hand on his belly
Emerald stormed out the base, followed by Mercury. She will save Cinder, no matter how much it will cost!
A few days later, New Empire camp
Tatsumi was planning the new operations. The first priority was retrieving the Spring maiden of course, he was planning to send Akame along with Esdeath but he was uncertain of Yang, she was too much dragged by her emotions. Then Tatsumi felt a presence behind him
"Chelsea, what are you doing?" He asked
"Oh wow you detected me uh? Guess I got a little rusty" The girl with a lolipop in her mouth replied "you seem stressed" she said as she putted her hands on his shoulders "At least you should be more relaxed when we are safe"
Tatsumi sighed "what are you trying to do?"
"Nothing~" Chelsea said "Unless you want me to do something" She added with a smirk and a mischievous look
Tatsumi blushed "Stop it"
"You are no fun" The girl replied as she removed her hands from his shoulders, then she looked at the plans "Sooooo what's the problem"
"it's Yang" Tatsumi replied
"Oh my, you fell for her" Chelsea teased him
"No, she is a little too obsessed with finding her mother" he replied
"Let her go, afterall she'll go even without you permission" She said "If something goes wrong, Esdeath will simply kill everyone"
"Guess you are right" Tatsumi said as he sighed again
Then a man entered the tent. It was Stylish, he was smiling and had a satisfied look
"I have some interesting news!" the doctor stated
Chelsea had to hide her disgust for Stylish while Tatsumi had no expression
"Our Cinder is half Grimm! If reports are correct this would explein how she managed to steal the power from the Fall maiden!" Stylish stated
"Did she said something?" Tatsumi asked
"No, I accidentaly harmed her vocal cords. Now she is unable to speak for an undetermined amount of time" The doctor admitted
"then it's time to kill her?" Chelsea asked
"Yes, but we still don't know where Salem is hiding" Tatsumi said as he putted his hand on his mouth, assuming a thoughtful pose
"Can I say something?" Stylish suddendly asked
"Yes" Tatsumi replied
"Back in Atlas, I was able to work with new technologies, and thanks to my teigu I was able to create many advanced things" Stylish began to say
"Get to the point" Tatsumi cut short his speech
"Ok, I can create e micro transmitter that can send his position everywhere, if we graft it under the skin of our guest and we let her go, we would be able to find Salem" The doctor said, proud of himself
"That's...a good plan, but we can just let her go, it would be suspicius" Tatsumi said
"Oh don't worry about that" Stylish said as he putted a laptop over the plans "Somebody is here for her.
The laptop showed two individuals: Emerald and Mercury "I already putted the transmitter in place" Stylish added
Tatsumi grinned, that was going to be so easy.
In the forest near the new empire camp, night
"How we can find Cinder with all of this tents" Mercury asked as he looked at the camp with a binocular, unaware of the micro surveillance camera that was looking at them
"It's simple " Emerald pointed at one tent "It's the guarded tent" She said as she began to sneak to the tent. Mercury remained in the bushes, Emerald was the sneaky one not him, he was there to provide a safe retreat. Emerald saw the guards and activated her semblance. The guards saw Esdeath walking to them
"Ma'am!" They made a military salute
"You can go, I'm gonna take care of the prisoner myself" The illusion Esdeath said
"Yes Ma'am!" The guards replied and walked away
The illusion dissapeared and Emerald come out from her hiding spot, she made sure that no one was looking and entered the tent. What she saw made her cry. Cinder was hanging by the arms with some chains, she was naked, unconscius and covered by cuts, bruises. Her left eye was missing and half of her body was burned
"What they had done to you…?" Emerald said with tears in her eyes, she looked for the key of the chains but fortunaly was on the table
"Guess is my lucky day" Emerald said as she picked up the key and free Cinder. She picked up Cinder and sneak away from the camp
Her mission was succesful
New Empire headquarters
"And the package is delivered" Stylish said
"Perfect, you may go to relax" Tatsumi replied
"Thank you, Tatsumi-san" Stylish said as he walked away
"You too Chelsea, and thanks for the help" the boy said
"Anytime dear" Chelsea smiled at him and walked outside
Tatsumi sighed, it had been an eventful day, he was a little too stressed with being in comand, Esdeath was helping him with some of the tasks but it wasn't enough
'Well, I'll go too' Tatsumi thought and walked to his tent
When Tatsumi entered he saw Esdeath waiting for him on the bed, she had only her underwear. Tatsumi didn't say nothing, he just sitted on the bed
"you look tired, my emperor" Esdeath said as she wrapped her arms around him from behind
"just Tatsumi" The boy replied as he turned to Esdeath and made her lie down, then he began to kiss her intensely. Esdeath began to undress him while kiss him and Tatsumi did the same. They had sex all night.
Meanwhile at the medical tent
"So, Esdeath defeated Cinder with one move" Pyrrha said with a sad look on her face
"Well, yes…Is something wrong?" Jaune asked
"No, it's just…" Pyrrha began to say "Esdeath was holding back all the time, and I don't think she even used all of her streght so far. All the sparring we had was fake and I think that even Tatsumi and the others were holding back" Pyrrha concluded
"They came from a different world…a world of atrocities and despair. They have lost everything but they choose to fight for the right thing…well most of them" Jaune said as he took Pyrrha hand
"You are right, thanks Jaune" The red heired girl said as she made a bright smile
"How are you feeling now?" Jaune asked
"A lot better, after that new doctor healed me, I don't feel any pain" Pyrrha replied
"I heard that doctor, was one member of the Esdeath's former squad " Jaune affirmed
Pyrrha was fighting the urge to close her eyes from tiredness, she wanted to talk with him more
Jaune noticed her efforts and smiled "You should sleep, afterall it's pretty late"
"nooo" Pyrrha replied with a cute tone
"Goodnight" Jaune said as he kissed her and walked away
Pyrrha was stunned from Jaune's sudden move, when she realized what happened she blushed and putted her hands on her face 'How can I sleep now?!' she thought flustered
At the campfire
Blake and Yang were eating togheter near the fire
"So I heard that your are going to Menagerie uh" Yang said
"yes, we need all help we can get" Blake replied "Also I heard that you are going to visit your mother"
"You got me, I have lots of questions for her" Yang said with a determined look
"It's funny, both of us are going to our parents. My mom and dad control Menagerie" Blake chuckled but she stopped when she noticed that Yang was looking at someone
"Dad?" Yang asked at one blonde man, who turned his gaze on her
"Yang!" Taiyang exclaimed as he approached Yang "I have finally found you!" the man hugged Yang
"What are doing here?" Yang asked
"I'm here to take you home of course!" Taiyang stated
"That's not going to happen dad. I choosed to fight along side my friends" The blonde haired girl replied as she broke the hug
"What are you saying? Don't you realize that you're walking in the path of war?" her dad replied with a shocked look
"A war that is unavoidable, dad" Yang replied with a determined look
"She is right Tai" Qrow said as he approach them "You can't just simply run away, this is above us all. But now we can defeat Salem"
"I'm not going to leave without my daughters!" Taiyang replied
"Then join us sir. We'll fight for the justice!" Seryu voice said from behind
Taiyang looked at Yang and then at Qrow and sighed "there's no way to return home with you huh?"
"nope" Yang and Qrow said togheter
"Very well then, but I'm only doing it for my daughters" The blonde man stated
The next day
A soldier walked inside Tatsumi's tent, he ignorent the scent that was in the air
"Sir! We have a problem!" the soldier exclaimed
Tatsumi quicly opened his eyes " What is it?"
"There is a small fleet of Atlas ships approaching!" The soldier replied
"get everyone ready for combat, I'm coming" Tatsumi ordered, the soldier nodded in reply and walked out
Tatsumi saw Esdeath already getting dressed
"We have to be fast, probably the Atlas army feel intimidated by us" Esdeath calmly said
"Yeah, probably" Tatsumi replied while getting dressed
After getting dressed the two walked outiside and saw 2 Atlas warship flying in their direction, sorrounded by many aircrafts. Tatsumi was about to activate Incursio when she recognized something. In all the ships there was the Night Raid logo
"What the-" he was about to said but he was interrupted by somethinbg that had crashed before him making a smoke cloud
"Tatsumi…." A familiar voice said from the cloud and suddenly a blu haired man rushed to him.
Tatsumi didn't have the time to react but the man stopped in font of him, and began to fix his hair
"Your hair are a mess! it's annoying" the man said
"Su!" Tatsumi recognized the man, he was the organic teigu of Najenda….wait, if he is here then…
An aircraft landed, it opened the ramp and some soldiers came out
Tatsumi turned his gaze to the ship and saw Najenda accompanied from Penny
"Boss!" Tatsumi exclaimed
"Not anymore, from my informations you are the boss now Tatsumi" Najenda replied with a smile
Tatsumi was about tho approach her when another person got off from the aircraft. It was a girl with pink hair and a twin tail, she had a warm smile and tears in her eyes
"Mine" Tatsumi whispered
