"So, she drank a giant ice monster's blood and now she can freeze a continent?" Ojiro asked.
"Man, that would be the ultimate death metal song." Jiro said.
"Well, there's a bit more to it than that, she needs to stockpile that kind of power, but she does have a decent fraction of that power on any given day." Sandra admitted.
"Then what CAN she do on any given day?" Hagakure asked.
"Yeah, would we have a chance against her or what?" Sato asked.
"These are pressing questions we need answered immediately!" Iida declared.
"Okay, everyone. Here's a taste of what Esdeath is capable of in a fight." The Empress told them as the next clip started.
Esdeath and Tatsumi stood on a massive pillar of ice raised up from a beach, when suddenly, a massive humanoid figure rose up ocean. "Well, he's a big fella." Esdeath pointed out.
"What the heck is that thing!?" Hagakure screamed.
"It's some kind of giant."
"I'm not sure of the exact specifics, but it's a clone of Dr. Stylish, a member of Esdeath's men, the Jaegers, who turned himself into a monster with his Teigu's Trump Card while trying to kill Night Raid, the group of assassins spearheading the Revolutionary Army." Sandra explained.
(It looks just like Dr. Stylish after he used that trump card!) Tatsumi thought to himself as he observed the figure, a normal human-sized man in a straightjacket and gag stuck in a scar on the monster's head. (Even with everyone in Night Raid working together, it was still a close fight. Do the two of us even stand a chance?) He wondered as they looked on at the massive beast.
"Does Night Raid have any notable members besides Tatsumi?" Midoriya asked.
"They have Leone, who has that lion belt I told you about, as well as Akame, who has that poison curse sword I talked about. And they have several other members who all possess Imperial Arms. I should also mentioned it's been said that a battle between two wielders of Imperial Arms will ONLY end in death." The hostess told them, which only filled them with dread.
Suddenly, the beast began to charge forward at them. "It's after us!" Tatsumi cried out.
"I won't let him ruin our time together!" Esdeath declared as she moved in front of Tatsumi and put her hands together, releasing a frigid energy and creating countless ice spears in the air in front of them. "You are interrupting! You deserve to be impaled!" She told the beast, gaining a smirk as she held her arms out in preparation. "Weiss Schnabel!" She announced her attack, launching the ice spears into the beast, completely skewering it all over its body, causing it to collapse.
Everyone's jaws dropped at this. "No way. That thing was even bigger than Mt. Lady! And she dropped it like nothing!" Mina cried out.
"And those ice spikes were gigantic, too! Way bigger than what she was shooting before. I guess that gives a good sense of how much her power got boosted." Asui said.
(She's even stronger than I thought.) Tatsumi said in shock as he observed the enemy general.
However, they were both shocked as the beast started to get back to its feet. "You're still standing? This is getting interesting." She said eagerly.
"Hey. You see that weird spot on his forehead? Doesn't it look kind of weak?" Tatsumi asked.
"I was thinking the same thing. We must be soulmates!" She declared as she crouched and placed a hand to their ice pillar. "Grau Horn!" She announced as she sent another massive spiked pillar of ice out of the one she already created straight at the beast, but it managed to move its head out of harm's way.
"Oh, my god! Does she ever run out of ice?!" Kaminari cried out.
"She's on a completely different level. Even Todoroki in the Sports Festival did break out ice like that! And I should know!" Sero added.
"She made that ice spike come out of the pillar they were on. But it doesn't look like it took any ice from the pillar. That must mean she's creating this ice basically nothing. To create that much ice that fast, she'd have to be freezing hundreds of gallons of water from the air-" Midoriya tried to put numbers to the feat he was seeing on the screen.
"It doesn't look like she's taking the water from the air to do that, though. And if that's not the case, I have no idea how she's even creating this new ice." Yaoyorozu pointed out.
"He's quite stubborn." She admitted, but then Tatsumi rushed forward along the ice spike. "Tatsumi!" She cried out as he leapt into the air and stabbed the body coming out of the scar, finally causing the beast to fall.
"Well done, though I had originally planned on winning your heart with my own skills. You wound up deepening my love for you. And here I used some of my favorite moves and everything." She admitted.
Suddenly, a second creature just like the first one came from nowhere and tackled Esdeath's pillar, knocking it down. "There's another one!" Tatsumi shouted.
"Oh, COME ON!" The entire class complained all at once.
However, Esdeath hardly seemed bothered as she fell down towards the beast. "Leave it to me, Tatsumi! I'll give him what he deserves!" She said, kicking off her falling pillar and launching herself higher into the air. The creature turned to look at her up in the air, where she snapped her fingers and created a giant meteor of ice above her head. "Hagel Sprung!" She declared, launching the meteor at the creature, slamming it down on the beast.
Everyone was at a complete loss for words at this. Their reactions were almost perfectly recreated from the time Todoroki created a glacier against Sero in the sports festival, but this display put that moment to shame. "No way. That has to be bigger than anything Todoroki has done..." Jiro said.
"And it looks like she barely put any effort into that. What happens when she actually has to TRY?" Tokoyami wondered.
Tatsumi was in pure shock at this. "Whoa. I cannot believe the size of that attack! She's on a whole different level!" He said in disbelief as he looked up at her. (So this is how general Esdeath fights. Akame... How the heck are you planning to kill her?!) He wondered as he continued to marvel at the icy general.
This filled the audience with another sense of dread. "They're trying to kill her?" Kirishima asked in concern.
"Well, at this moment, Tatsumi was hoping to bring her over to their side, but at the current time, a fight between them was- and still is- inevitable. Esdeath's faction, especially Esdeath herself, is the biggest obstacle towards defeating the Empire. With her still around, it would likely be impossible for them to win." Sandra explained. "So, that was your small taste of Esdeath's power. Tokoyami, you asked what happens when she actually has to try? well, here it is. For context, Tatsumi was captured by the Empire and was slated for execution. Esdeath would've freed him if he became her lover, but he refused, so he would be executed. And Night Raid showed up to save him and kill another Imperial General, Budo. At this point, Tatsumi is freed and Budo is dead, but now Esdeath stands in their way." The celestial declared, playing the final clip.
Esdeath stood in the destroyed dungeon of an arena, facing off against a woman with silver hair and a man with black hair. "Is that your Imperial Arms?" Esdeath questioned with a bit of a laugh.
"It is." The woman confirmed.
"I am called Susanoo." The man introduced himself.
"That man... is an actual weapon?" Uraraka asked.
"There's no way. There's no such thing as a living weapon or a person that is a weapon." Aizawa said, completely unbelieving of what he was being told.
"There Imperial Arms basically defy any conventional weaponry you know of. Just look at this adorable cutie." The celestial told them, showing them what looked like a dog straight out of a cartoon. "This is Hekatonkheires, also known by its nickname, Koro." She introduced the creature.
"Aww! It's so cute!" All of the girls, including Midnight and even some of the boys, all cooed at the creature. However, that cooing quickly turned to to gasps of horror as the creature turned into a hulking beast with massive arms and even more massive teeth that became a spinning compactor of death, surviving getting sliced with a giant pair of scissors and filled with holes from a weird gun, yet recovering from all of it and turning into an even more monstrous red beast that bit the woman with the scissors in half. All accompanied by the song "Die Mother Fucker Die" by Dope.
"No... No way..." Ashido said in shock.
"And this Susanoo is a weapon similar to that freak show?" Jiro asked.
"Yes. That woman is Najenda, a general of the Revolutionary Army, former general of the Empire and leader of Night Raid. Thanks to Esdeath, she lost an eye, an arm and only has around 45% of her original power to fight with. She is only reliable on the battlefield now because of Susanoo." Their hostess told them.
"He seems impressive, but I wonder what he is actually capable of." Aoyama asked.
"Watch and find out." Endeavor told the sparkling boy in a tone that basically told everyone to shut up and watch, curious as to what this weapon would could do to make his estranged daughter go all out.
"I don't care what it's called." Esdeath said simply. "It won't need a name... After this!" She declared, launching a barrage of ice spears at the two. Najenda braced for the attack, but Susanoo moved in front of her, his massive club growing blades that began to spin around like saw blades, which he held in front of him to block the spears.
Najenda then moved out from behind her protector and held up her mechanical arm. "Back off!" She declared, launching her fist at Esdeath, who easily evaded it.
"Whoa! That is awesome!" Hagakure cheered.
"Mei from the Support Class would love to see that arm." Midoriya said.
"But it meant nothing against Young Esdeath." All Might noted.
Susanoo then cried out as he rushed in and swung his club down at her, but she easily dodged to the right. She laughed at this. "Very nice! Keep it up!" She encouraged her opponent, moving in towards him. He thrust his weapon out towards her, but she again moved to the side, closing the distance between them and grabbing his face. "Now... Freeze." She said, encasing the living weapon in ice, giggling darkly to herself.
"Susanoo!" Najenda cried out to her weapon.
"What a shame. And to think I used to have so much respect for you as a general. I hope you have more to offer." Esdeath taunted.
"Whoa! She made that look easy." Asui said.
"I thought you said we'd see her go all out!" Bakugo snapped.
"He's not done yet." The celestial declared.
(Why was I saving my energy? This is Esdeath I'm dealing with!) Najenda wondered to herself as she held out her arm again, much to Esdeath's curiosity. "Megetama manifest!" Najenda declared, sending energy from herself into Susanoo.
"What are you up to?" Esdeath could only wonder as she watched what was happening.
"Night Raid must be more resilient than you think if we survived this long! Even if he is frozen solid, I wouldn't let my guard down just yet." Najenda said with a smirk as he hair raised up. "Are you ready now, Susanoo? It's time to defeat Esdeath!" She declared as Susanoo's eyes glowed the same color as the energy and the ice around him shattered, his hair now white, his shirt and club gone and a giant circle behind him.
"Must be your Trump Card. This should be good." Esdeath said eagerly as Susanoo rushed at her.
"Whoa! Now that's what I call a power up!" Present Mic said.
"What's happening right now?" Midnight asked.
"It's like Esdeath said, their Trump Card, by syphoning Najenda's life force, Susanoo gets a massive power up and new abilities. But it can only be used three times before it kills Susanoo's user." Sandra explained.
"And... How many times has she used it?" Sato asked in concern.
"Three times." The Empress declared, making everyone gasp in horror.
The living weapon cried out in determination as he threw punches at Esdeath, who easily dodged them all, even blocking and catching his attacks. "But it won't be enough to overpower me! You must realize that you're outmatched!" She declared as she jumped back and fired more ice spears at him.
However, he was ready for this. "Eight-Handed Mirror Shield!" He declared,the circle moving in front of him and glowing as if it were a reflective surface, the icicles going into it. before being shot back out at Esdeath.
"Whoa! UNO reverse card!" Mineta cried out.
"Man, this is weird. We know that Night Raid are the good guys and we should want them to win, but I don't want to root against Todoroki's sister." Ashido said, deeply conflicted.
Unfortunately, this, too was in vain, as Esdeath raised a wall of ice to shield herself from the icicles. "She always has something!" Najenda said angrily, before realizing something. "The mission's complete! Get back to base now!" She called out as the other members of Night Raid all perked up at hearing her order.
"Tatsumi! I won't let you leave!" Esdeath cried out in determination, rushing forward.
However, Susanoo's hand began to glow and he manifested an absolutely MASSIVE black sword. "Sacred Sword of the Heavens!" He declared, swinging it with full force at Esdeath, who was forced to crouch and create several walls of ice to protect herself, but the sword was cleaving through them all.
"I got ya!" Najenda declared, pulling out a detonator and causing several explosions all around Esdeath.
"That sword is huge! So manly!" Kirishima cheered.
"So they managed to lure her into a trap. Esdeath was too hasty. Now it seems she will pay for it." Tokoyami declared.
However, Esdeath just smirked at this and placed her hands in front of the symbol on her chest. "Everything in sight will be encased in ice!" She declared as a dark blue dome of energy surrounded her. "Mahapdama!" She declared. Suddenly, everything around her was colored the same blue as the dome that had surrounded her moments earlier and everything was frozen in place as time seemed to stand still. Everything except Esdeath herself.
Once more, everyone found themselves in total shock. "What... What just happened?" Koda asked.
"Why isn't anything moving? What's going on?" Sero asked.
"It almost looks like... No. No way! No way in hell! It can't be!" Bakugo shouted.
"She froze time. With cold." Sandra declared.
The smarter amongst the group were absolutely baffled at this. "What!? How is-?! That's not possible! Time isn't affected by temperature, it's affected by things such as the space around it! This breaks any scientific laws known to man!" Yaoyorozu cried out.
"It makes no sense!" Midoriya cried out, holding his head.
"Let's just chalk it up to magic and leave it at that." Sandra suggested, to which everyone nodded.
"That ability puts such enormous strain on me, I'm not capable of using it as often as I'd like." She admitted as she moved towards the petrified Susanoo while drawing her sword, piercing him through the chest. "Too much would be overkill, anyway." She said as time resumed.
Susanoo could only grunt in pain as he began to freeze over again. "What... What happened?" He asked in complete shock.
"Esdeath, what did you do!?" Najenda demanded.
"Oh, I just froze time and space. It's my special Trump Card that I developed for just such an occasion." She explained simply. "I wanted something that would not only keep Tatsumi from escaping, but effectively slay my enemies." She elaborated as Susanoo was frozen up to his neck.
"She is terrifying. On a whole other level!" Mineta shrieked.
"Todoroki, no offense, but I want your sister to stay as far away from me as possible." Asui said nervously.
"Susanoo! Get out of there!" Najenda cried out, before Esdeath shattered the ice and Susanoo himself with one kick.
"I suppose I should congratulate you for inspiring me to use it!" She declared, her kick leaving only his red core behind to fly through the air.
"What's that thing?" Shoji asked.
"Susanoo's core. His whole body could be destroyed, but as long as that thing remains in tact, he'll survive." Sandra explained.
(Susanoo's core!) Najenda thought in horror as the core clattered to the ground, only for Esdeath to stomp down on and destroy it, to which she gasped, the other Night Raid members looking on in horror.
"Oh, crap." Everyone said at once.
"You lose. Now if you'll accompany me to the torture chambers." Esdeath invited them.
However, she was then shocked to see the shattered shards of Susanoo's core lift into the air, surrounded by the golden energy from before and reforming. "What!? Impossible! It's regenerating itself." She said as she looked up as the completely reformed Susanoo.
"What!? But how! You just said-!" Kaminari began.
"She started giving him her life force again. How can she keep going like that?!" Koda asked worriedly.
The source of this was revealed to be Najenda, who held her arm out towards the weapon, supplying him with energy as before. "That makes three times! It'll take everything I have left! If I exhaust my life force, I'm sure I can make him even more powerful!" She declared, coughing up some blood.
(If General Budo is dead, then my life is well spent! I can die peacefully knowing that! The rest is up to you, Susanoo!) She told her weapon in her mind.
"She's sacrificing everything so her friends can survive! She may be a woman, but she's the manliest person I've ever seen!" Kirishima said while crying from the raw bravery and epicness Najenda was displaying.
"And it's something I NEVER want to see ANY of you attempting to repeat." Aizawa warned his students.
"Burn in hell, Najenda!" Esdeath snapped as she rushed at the enemy general.
However, her path was blocked by Susanoo flying at her. "Celestial Treasure Magatama!" He roared as he threw a punch at her, which she blocked with a huge ice shield.
"Well... He just boosted his power!" She said in surprise as she was pushed back by the living weapon.
"Su! Let me help you!" A man in a white suit of armor requested as he held a girl dressed in pink with pink-hair in long twin pigtails.
"Run away, Tatsumi!" Najenda said as she and two other girls had climbed onto a giant manta ray creature.
"But he's powered up now!" Tatsumi insisted.
"It's just the way his attacks overlap! It's making it appear as though Susanoo's strength increased by double! At the level he is right now, he'll never come CLOSE to defeating Esdeath!" She told him.
" No way... Even after all of this, he doesn't even stand A CHANCE?!" Uraraka asked.
"There's no way... None of us could stand up to her." Endeavor said in shock, many conflicting emotions welling up inside of him.
Susanoo flew back and skidded across the ground in front of Tatsumi. "Su!" Tatsumi cried out as Esdeath approached menacingly.
"It looks like you've gotten tougher, but you're still not strong enough! Despite your best efforts, you're still losing this fight!" Esdeath declared.
"Don't do it!" Tatsumi pleaded.
"Please try not to forget the reason we came here in the first place. Run, Tatsumi." The living weapon told his ally.
"But Su!" Tatsumi insisted.
"In my thousand years as an Imperial Arms, my time with Night Raid is the most fun I've ever had. I have no regrets." Susanoo spoke solemnly as his allies all looked to him.
"Susanoo. You were a true hero. Someone we should aspire to be even half as amazing as." Midoriya said in respect.
"Yours is an end more noble than any of us could ever hope to have." Tokoyami declared solemnly.
"Susanoo..." Najenda said in shock at her weapon's words.
Susanoo looked back at them one final time. "I bid you farewell." The living weapon said his final goodbyes.
Tatsumi grimaced, not wanting to leave his friend, but finally brought himself to do so, leaping away with Mine as the others followed on the manta.
"Stop right there!" Esdeath demanded, firing more icicles.
"I don't think so!" Susanoo declared, putting the mirror in the icicles' path, returning them to their sender once again, forcing her to jump back.
(That mirror again!) Esdeath told herself in her mind.
"I will never let you catch up to them." Susanoo declared.
"So you're using yourself as a shield in order to buy time for your companions to escape? Where does Najenda find all these mushy little softies?" The icy general questioned.
"It's called caring for your friends! Try it sometime!" Bakugo snapped.
"Precisely, Young Bakugo. It's never soft or mushy to defend the innocent and those dear to you. It's cowardly to think only of yourself." All Might agreed.
"I am nothing more than a weapon. And now I have no Trump Card. Given my situation, wouldn't you agree that this is my best possible option?" The living weapon returned with his own question.
"You said your name was Susanoo, yes?" She asked him.
"Hope. So you were listening." He confirmed.
she drew her sword at this. "I will forever remember it as the name of a legendary warrior and NOT an Imperial Arms." She told him as a sign of the utmost respect.
"Well, nice to see she holds respect for those she DOES deem as strong." Ojiro said.
"They were the first people to ever force her to use her time stop. That HAS to count for something." Sandra explained.
"I just hope she gave him a respectful and painless death and didn't make him suffer." Iida said.
"Now, as you face your demise, I will enjoy watching your sad attempts to avoid your inevitable end!" She declared as she rushed at him, while he let out a final battle cry while rushing at her as well, the two striking at each other and shaking the area with an epic clash.
"Rest in Peace, Susanoo. You went above and beyond the call of any weapon." Midnight said.
There was a silence for a moment, before Endeavor finally spoke up. "So, you've stated you believe Esdeath could change. But what if she doesn't? Will she end up stopping Night Raid and dooming this kingdom to the rule of a tyrant? Or will she fall in battle? Or be captured and executed? What will happen to her? Can you tell us?" The new Number One asked, sounding almost desperate.
Sandra looked at the hero and his son, both who were practically pleading at her with their eyes, before sighing. "Should Esdeath continue on this course, she will see more of her comrades die, the love of her life Tatsumi will either reject her or die himself- there's a branching timeline there- and she will ultimately die at the hands of Akame and her cursed sword, having to cut her own arm off when it was stabbed, only to be slashed in the chest later. No getting around that one." The celestial told them as the screen came to life and showed the icy general fall in battle against Akame, freezing herself over and making her own body shatter to nothing.
They, along with everyone else, were horrified at this news. "Is there anything we can do? Any possible way to save her?" Todoroki asked, as desperate as his father had been before.
The celestial held her chin as she pondered this. "Well, I shouldn't be doing this, but it may actually benefit the entirety of the world this way. Far less people would die in the Empire and who knows how valuable she could be against All For One and the League?" She questioned to herself, before looking back at them and nodding. "Very well. I will bring her here. Esdeath's ultimate goal was to find love. Maybe what she really needs is the love of a family." She said, opening a portal.
And out of that portal came the leader of the Jaegers, the ice general herself, Esdeath. "What the?! What is this place!? Where am I?! And where is Tatsumi!?" She demanded, looking around, before spotting the cast. "Who the hell are all of yo-?!" She began, before her eyes fell on Endeavor. She didn't remember much from her childhood before the orphanage where the Partas Clan took her, but she did remember her true, biological father, who abandoned her and sent her into a life of being thrown from home to home and orphanage to orphanage and so on. After all, it is kind of hard to forget someone whose face is ALWAYS ON FIRE! "You!" She declared, trying to shoot an ice spear at the man, only for nothing to happen. "What?!" She demanded.
I disabled your abilities in here. You cannot use any of your ice powers here." Sandra told her.
Esdeath growled at this, before rushing at Endeavor and throwing attacks wildly at him. "You! You gave me away, like I was nothing! I never knew home! I never knew family! And the people that gave me those things were a clan of murderous bandits over my own father!" She snapped as he did his best to evade all of her attacks. Everyone else was preparing to jump in and help, but Aizawa held up his hands.
Eventually, Endeavor lunged forward and wrapped his arms around Esdeath in a hug, both to immobilize her and just hold her close. "I know. You're right. I made a foolish mistake. I was so blinded by my ambitions and power that I thought nothing of you when you didn't yield the Quirk I desired. That was inexcusable. You should never have had to suffer for my dreams. I've changed since then. I know I can't erase what has happened, but I want to be there for you now. To show you there's a better path in life than the one the Partas Clan set you on. And to give you the love of a proper family you should have always had." He told her.
Her eyes widened in shock at his words. Her mind was telling her that he was only telling her what she wanted to hear, but another part of her couldn't help but want to believe him. He then slowly and cautiously began to let her go as Todoroki approached. "My name is Shoto Todoroki. And, apparently, you are my older sister. I saw what happened to you and the life you had to live before this. I'm sorry all that happened to you, but now we can work to fix it. Endeavor and me. And others as well, our siblings Fuyumi and Natsuo. And I'm sure my mother would care for you as if you were her own as well. We can be a family and you don't have to be in a cold world on your own anymore." He added to what his father had said.
"A brother... And other siblings... I'll admit, I had always wanted those as a child in the Partas Clan. And before that, I enjoyed playing with the other children at the orphanages. I even became fond of Seryu and Kurome in the Jaegers. I suppose that could be interesting. And do you have the power that HE wished for?" She asked, looking to Endeavor with a glare.
"Yes. I can make both fire and ice." He confirmed, showing off his powers. "But my ice could likely never be on the same scale as yours. I can't even make complex shapes yet. I just throw out a simple trail of ice or a wall of ice spikes." He admitted.
She took note of this, before smirking. "Well, then. I suppose as the older sister, it's my job to show you how to do things properly. It may actually be entertaining to put my time towards building something up instead of destroying it. But my training won't be easy. You had better be prepared for it." She told him.
"He's already trained me until I threw up. When I was four." Todoroki said, looking at their father.
Esdeath sighed at this. "Of course he did. Well, at least it seems to have paid off and it kept your from being weak." She said.
"That's something else we're going to have to work on, your view of the weak. In our society, we protect the weak from those who would harm them." All Might said, before seeing the family, as well as the other teachers, glaring at him. "Oh! But that's something you can all work on together on your own! As a family!" He laughed nervously.
The icy general sighed again at this. "Very well. What now?" She asked.
"Well, I'm still busy with these guys, so for now, I'll send you to a nice beach with the rest of the Jaegers and you can all relax and have fun together. And- maybe, just maybe- you can convince them to lay down their arms as well and join the Revolutionary Army. Or just ditch the Imperial Army. Whichever you prefer." Sandra told her.
"Very well. I look forward to seeing you at another time, brother." She said to Todoroki, running her hand through his hair like she had learned to do with Seryu, before glaring at Endeavor. "And I suppose I will see you at some point later, as well." She said, before stepping through the portal that was opened for her.
"Huh. Honestly, that went better than I expected." Sandra said, pleasantly surprised. "Well, that's all we needed you for, Endeavor-" She said, before turning away. "For now, anyway-" She said to herself, before turning back. "So, I'll send you back to wherever you were before this and you can set up for when Esdeath is brought to your home." She said, opening another portal and drawing in the Hellfire user.
"Man. I can't believe so much has happened in such a little amount of time. Has it even been an hour yet?" Present Mic asked.
"No, it has not. But now, after seeing two crazy psychopath chicks, I'm assuming you guys would like to see a person who is not evil?" Sandra asked, to which they all nodded frantically. "Very well. Tokoyami." She said, getting the attention of the bird-headed boy. "I'm assuming you remember a time relatively recently when your mother fell ill?" She asked.
The Shadow Quirk user looked down at this. "Those days were some of my most haunting memories. Ones I try my hardest not to relive." He said sadly.
Everyone looked to the stoic boy sadly, before looking in anger at Sandra. "Why would you ask him about that? Ribbit." Asui asked in irritation.
"I'm getting to that. And during that time, your brother left with your grandfather, correct?" She asked.
Tokoyami now growled a bit at this. "Yes. A dire time when the family needed each other, when we needed him and yet he left us." He said in resentment.
Sandra nodded at this. "Yes, it may have seemed bad at the time, but I PROMISE you there was a good reason for this. And you're about to see now... Right after a quick family history lesson." The celestial told them.
A/N: So, I've always personally thought this, but does anyone else think that everyone in AGK made Esdeath out to be more of a monster than she actually was? Like, they always made her seem like an absolute monster with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, yet she: thought about bringing her troops for ice cream, paid her respects for her Liver and the others when they died, comforted Seryu after Stylish's death, didn't have Wave KILLED after Tatsumi escaped him, showed respect to Susanoo and Akame and, of course, genuinely loved Tatsumi. And apparently, in the Manga, she saved a few of her comrades from being killed at a few different points. So, yeah, for being a bloodthirsty killer who think the weak deserve to die, she seems to defend her weaker comrades pretty well.
So, yes! Next time is Jotaro Kujo! Or should I say, Jotaro Tokoyami! But before that, the class will be given an abridged history lesson about the Joestars and Dio, or otherwise Jotaro's section would probably run for three chapters! Again, I am sorry these take so long, I tried to make this one short while keeping only the most essential bits, but even that ran on longer than I thought. So any suggestions for the best things to show them about Jotaro while keeping it to only the most important things would be GREATLY appreciated!
