Chapter 12 Welcome to the Jaegers

Tatsumi found himself in a black void with nothing around him, "Hello?" he said to no one with no response, "Where am I?"

"Hehehe, I see you still cling to life, lizard." came a voice.

"What the?" Tatsumi looked up and saw the Crab Lobster from before appearing in the void.

"I'm not one to die so easy, Frost." Tatsumi turned and saw the metal dragon of evolution, Tyrant.

"Clearly," said the ice danger beast, known as Frost, "So while you have kept your mind in tack enough to stay conscious, you have been hatching an escape plan."

Tyrant let out a deep dangerous growl, "Do not interfere Frost, unlike you who has had only a few users, I have been passed around more and more, and I've heard the fading sounds of the others that were turned into weapons, if I don't get out soon…"

"I know," said Frost in a sympathetic tone, "While I have only had a few users, my current user has fought several of us who have had the same fate as us, their Nen has faded along with their minds, they are no more."

Tyrant gave his fellow Nen beast a look, not expecting sympathy. "I see, while I'd say we should catch up, we don't have the time, what do you want?"

"I want out obviously and I want to help you," said Frost.

"Help?"

"This boy here," as Frost fostered down to Tatsumi, "He's your way out, isn't he."

Tyrant gave another growl, "Yes he is, but I can't take you with me, he's a distended of one of my original users," saying users with a hiss of disdain, "He's strong enough to sire me a new body."

"You wish to become human?" asked Frost a little surprised

"Better than dying in this tomb."

"That is….true," admitted Frost, "I think we can help each other out."

"How so, this technique required several generations to make, you don't have that time."

"No, but I do still have a large amount of Nen left and my current user is a woman." pointed out Frost.

Tyrant was confused for a moment, "Are you inside of your user?"

"Yes that woman was foolish enough to drink me, but she's too strong for me to take her over, I've tried, but I have been able to sway her slightly and control some of her bodily functions." said Frost.

"Like hormones." said Tyrant, earning a chuckle from Frost, "That could work, but while I have connected with this boy, he is currently not the wielder of my prison."

"It takes a majority of a year for an infant to be born, in that time I will help speed things along, maybe save some of our fellow prisoners." offered Frost.

Tyrant opened his mouth giving Frost a smile, "All of us free once more, I like the sound of that, very well I will let you piggyback off my technique, my sibling."

"We are not siblings yet, but I do look forward to our new family." said Frost as it held out a claw towards Tyrant.

Tyrant fist bumped the claw, "To our salvation…and revenge."

~o~

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN TATSUMI WAS CAPTURED!" yelled Mine.

"Mine calm down." yelled Bulat but it was clear his voice was on edge.

"Calm down? How can I calm down when Esdeath just took our BIG GUN, not some random grunt, our BIG GUN!"

"He does have one." said Leone under her breath.

"How was he even captured?" asked Akame to Lubbock, Leone and Sayo.

Leone scratched her head, "I don't know, I wasn't awake when it happened."

"What?"

"It was that guy I was talking about," Said Lubbock, "He put Leone and Sayo to sleep with nen."

"The Sleep Walker," said Sayo getting their attention, "On our travels me, Ieasyu and Tatsumi heard about a bounty hunter that used nen to hunt his targets by putting them to sleep, he would then leave that target anonymously at whoever hired him without being seen and leaving a note to deliver the money to a certain location at a certain time, if it was never delivered he would return by putting everyone to sleep and taking the payment and then some."

"You think he was the one that put Tatsumi to sleep?" asked Akane.

"That's the only explanation I got, he was able to put me to sleep and sneak up on us, I also didn't sense any Nen from anyone else in the arena." said Sayo.

"But why knock out Tatsumi and leave him for the empire?" asked Leone.

They all thought for a moment before Akame spoke up, "An easier target."

"Huh? How would that make Tatsumi an easier target?" asked Lubbock.

"This confirms that no one other than us here in the capitol have Nen." explained Akame, "He was only able to knock out Sayo, Leone and Tatsumi, meaning he couldn't knock out everyone."

"Actually he might have been able to knock out the whole arena, but it would have made us Nen user notice him." said Sayo, "He has limitations."

"Ones that are eliminated if Tatsumi is surrounded by non Nen users." said Bulat as he thought about it, "Even with the number they have, for a nen user that can put them to sleep can easily take the castle."

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go," said Leone cracking her knuckles, "We can take the capitol."

"How about you all slow down." They all looked to see Sheele walking in with a tray of tea, "Here I brought some tea for everyone."

"Thank you, Sheele." said Bulat as he took a cup.

Akame was surprised with how calm Sheele was. "Sheele, aren't you worried about Tatsumi?"

"Of course I am," said Sheele, giving them a worried look before smiling, "But I know Tatsumi will make it back, he's strong and the one that introduced us to Nen, I have faith in him that everything will be fine."

Sayo smiled, "She's right, while I am worried about him, I'm sure he'll do fine."

Bulat hummed as everyone looking at him as he had the final say as the acting leader, "Well if that's the case then we'll monitor the castle for now and wait to see what Tatsumi does."

~o~

Tatsumi eyes fluttered opened as he woke, "What the fuck was that?" groaned Tatsumi, 'I remembered seeing Tyrant and a giant crab talking, wait what were they talking about….I can't remember.'

"Ah my lover is awake."

"Huh?" Tatsumi blinked and noticed he was chained to a chair and surrounded by several people, on instinct he was about to activate his nen when he heard a low rumble.

"Koro?" said Seryu as she looked at her Teigu that was staring at Tatsumi.

Tatsumi quickly figured out he was captured, 'I'm surrounded by seven people one of which as a powerful sentient nen weapon, that's my biggest obstacle, I don't know what powers it has.' He tested the chains, 'These chains are weak and I could bust out in less than a second, my only challenges would be Esdeath and whatever that power of hers is, the Nen weapon.' He looked at the others, 'I doubt the others will give me much problems.'

"Now then I want everyone to welcome Tatsumi to the Jaegers." said Esdeath as she put her hands on Tatsumi's shoulders.

"Huh? What are you…" Tatsumi stopped as he suddenly felt calmer. 'What the?'

"You dragged in a civilian, just like that." said Bols a little surprised.

"Now he'll no longer live in poverty and he isn't just an extra man for our group either," said Esdeath with a slight blush. "Tatsumi is the one that will become my lover."

Tatsumi's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he looked at the woman, "WAIT WHAT!?" he shook his head, "I'm sorry and I don't mean to be rude, I just woke up randomly chained to a chair against my will…but WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?"

The room went silent, as Ran and Wave gave an apologetic smile, Kurome ignored him while she ate, Bols lightly scratched his cheek, Stylish just shrugged but Seryu stepped forward, "Hi and welcome to the Jaegers, I'm your new senpai Seryu." she said fully welcoming Tatsumi as she held out her hand for a handshake.

"Uhh… I'm Tatsumi and I can't exactly shake your hand while I'm chained to a chair." as he pointed out he was still chained to a chair.

"We should probably unchain him." suggested Run.

Esdeath cleared her throat before she undid Tatsumi's chains, for a second Tatsumi was thinking of making a break for it before Esdeath held his hand making out those thoughts disappear. "Welcome to your new home."

Tatsumi quickly shook his head and pulled his hand away. "Whoa whoa hold up, I just met you, how are we suddenly lovers, have all other relationships started like this?"

Esdeath paused for a moment, "Your right this is uncharted territory," she then looked nervously at her team, "Have any of you been married or have any lovers?"

Suddenly the man in the masked quickly raised his hand, 'You've got to be kidding me.' thought Tatsumi.

Bols stepped forward, "Yes, I've been married for six years now, I really don't deserve someone as wonderful as that though!"

Tatsumi knew he had to stop this and to his surprise his best bet would be mostly honesty. "I'm not even from this country!" he shouted, earning weird looks from the others, "I can't work for you guys I'm a foreigner, a traveler, the only reason I was in that tournament to begin with was to get enough scratch to move on. I'm not even a proper fighter, I just learned out to fight to keep the bandits at bay."

"Oh don't worry about that," said Esdeath waving Tatsumi's situation off, "Since you're a part of the Jaegers, you're officially a citizen of this country."

"Congratulations," cheered Seryu. "You can toss that green card away."

"Green card?" Tatsumi asked, confused.

"General Esdeath!" They all turned to a soldier who entered the room who saluted to Esdeath, "Ma'am I have the report regarding the area around Gyogan Lake."

"Perfect Timing," said Esdeath with a smile, "Alright everyone it's time for combat."

~o~

Tatsumi soon found himself sitting on a rock with Esdeath watching as the Jaegers approach the bandit hideout, it was at this point logic was slightly surpassing the new calming feeling he was having, 'What the fuck is going on with me, this would be the perfect time to escape,' he then looked down at his hand that was intertwined with Esdeath, 'But for some reason I can't, I know I'm strong enough to pull away and yet I don't want to. Is this her Nen ability?' Tatsumi activated his nen and double checked Esdeath and found nothing.

Esdeath gave him a smile, "I know I'm pretty to look at but you should really pay attention to the battle that's about to commence."

"What?" due to her pointing it out caused him to look at her body and specifically her perfect chest, causing his blood to move south, 'FOCUS ON THE BATTLE FOCUS ON THE BATTLE.' he started to repeat in his head. As he did he watched the other Jaegers at work, 'They ain't too bad, some of them are rough around the edges but they can hold their own in a fight, though Seryu's weapons are terribly designed, they don't take in at all account Seryu's own build and movement.' as he started getting annoyed.

'What the?' thought Frost who was inside Esdeath watching through her eyes, 'Is he getting annoyed by the weapons, I suppose him being a blacksmith wasn't a total lie. I might be able to use that.' as it started to use a bit of nen to up Tatsumi's annoyance.

'Perfection my ass, that surgens creations are ugly as fuck,' Thought Tatsumi, 'Also what's up with his Teigu, it just sounds like a short cut for lazy blacksmiths.' He then looked further down at Bols who was using his his flamethrower to burn several bandits to a crisp, some of them tried to use water to fight the fire but it didn't work, 'The fire doesn't stop with water, that idiot could start an endless fire, what is he doing?' Tatsumi's face started twitching as he looked at the flamethrower. "Idiot."

Esdeath tilted her head, "Tatsumi?"

"Esdeath what is that guy in the mask doing?" asked Tatsumi, "He's letting that fire go wild."

Esdeath looked down at Bols, "Well that's a bit out of his hands, you see his Teigu makes fire that is impossible to extinguish." She then noticed Tatsumi's face that screamed if they were idiots.

'I shouldn't help the enemy, I shouldn't help the enemy, I shouldn't help the enemy,' He then saw the fire beginning to spread, "Nope can't do it." as he stood up.

"Tatsumi?" asked Esdeath as Tatsumi suddenly started running to the battlefield "Tatsumi!" she yelled in surprise, 'Is he trying to impress me?' as she fantasizes about Tatsumi before realizing, 'I should go and get him before he gets hurt.'

Wave got done taking down a group of bandits when he noticed someone was running towards him, "Eh Tatsumi!"

This caused the others to look at Tatsumi, "What is he doing?" asked Run.

"Hey Tatsumi have you come to help us enforce justice?" asked Seryu.

"YOU IDIOT!" yelled Tatsumi, shocking all of them as he ran up and gave Bols a light kick. "What the hell do you think you're doing, use your damn weapon right before you burn everything around you."

Bols was so shocked by the sudden appearance he simply tilted his and said, "Wha?"

Tatsumi's eye twitched, "You have no idea how to use this thing do you?" as he pointed at the flamethrower.

"You…point and shoot." said Bols no at all understanding where Tatsumi was going with this.

"Oh for the love of.." Tatsumi grabbed Rubicante trying to twist the handle causing a clicking noise and nothing else frustrating Tatsumi.

"That boy is lacking mentally." said Stylish simply as he focused on the battlefield.

"Uh Tatsumi you might want to find some place safe." said Wave as he killed a few bandits that thought it was a good idea to attack.

"Wait, what's that clicking noise?" asked Run.

"It's the mechanism that.." Tatsumi then realized he was dealing with a specialized nen weapon that only operates with those compatible. 'How'd I forget that?' Tatsumi then placed Rubicante down on the ground, laying the canister sideways and the hose pointing directly down on it. "Hold it like this and pull the handles towards you."

Bols was still confused but did as he was told and the moment he pulled the handle the hose extended, at the same time two opening in the canister appeared connected the two pieces, the pipe connecting the two tightened, "What!" Bols lifted Rubicante up as it was now in the shape of a "Hammer!?" Suddenly the canister started rumbling as it's turbine started spinning. Suddenly all the fire in the area began being pulled into Rubicante as it started absorbing all of it until Bols was left holding a hammer with the head of a fireball. The sudden energy causing Bols to lose his balance and fall backwards causing the massive fireball to go off in an explosive wave leveling one of the bandits building. Bols quickly got up and saw the damage and saw the rumble but to his surprise no major flames that continued to burn. He quickly turned to Tatsumi, "How?"

"I'm a blacksmith for one and one of the big rules if you are ever making a weapon of destruction make sure you have a way to clean up or if your good enough make the weapon do it for you, only an idiot would make something so destructive without some sort of failsafe." said Tatsumi as he gestured to the rest of the bandit camp that was no longer on fire. "It appears that hammer form is for close quarters to reuse and absorb the flames you've already created, also you can use it to make sure your flames don't go wild."

The rest of the Jaegers were in shock as they stared at Tatsumi. If any bandit wanted to, now would have been the time to strike but they were too scared and too busy running away to do so.

"Wait, how did you know it could do that?" asked Stylish.

"Well I didn't really know the full extent of the weapon," said Tatsumi as he signaled for Bols to lower the weapon to his level. "But I could tell something was up by looking at this canister, it has heavy and durable metal on the rim, that same kind you'd use for smashing something against it, they even look like they're supposed to come off to be replaced, now that i'm taking a closer look at it, the hammer form is definitely meant to be used with the flames." He then tilted the head to the others, "Now look at the angle of the turbines, both of them have the fins to be sucking air inward on both ends which doesn't make sense unless air is supposed to be sucked in for different functions, that's what made me realize something was up and if the creator of this thing was smart he would do something about all that fire."

What followed was silence and the crackle of the remaining flames,"Incredible!" shouted Bols as he looked at his weapon, "I had no idea Rubicante could do this." he said genuinely happy, 'With this I can lessen the destruction I make, will this work on regular fire, if it does I could retire helping out the fire brigade battle fires, I have to test that out.'

Esdeath clapped her hands together as she felt her heart race, "Excellent Tatsumi, you've only been here a day and you're already making improvements."

Tatsumi flinched a little, 'Shit, what am I doing helping these psychopaths. Well too late now,' as he looked at the others, 'Maybe I can steer them in a better direction.' He put on his best friendly face, "Well I am a blacksmith nut, that's traveled quite a bit, so I can tell when there's more to a weapon like the flamethrower or…" he then turned to Seryu, "when someone is using garbage."

"Eh?" said Seryu confused as Stylish felt a vein popping in his head. "What do you mean?" asked Seryu confused, "Thanks to my weapons I was able to enact justice upon these evil doers."

Yes, it did do that," admitted Tatsumi, "But while I am impressed with its power, a weapon that injures its user has failed at the basics of being a useful weapon."

"Huh, I feel fine." said Seryu before giving Tatsumi as he walked towards her, "I thank you for your concern comrade but I'm still willing and able."

Tatsumi put his hands on her shoulders and looked her right in the eyes. "Seryuu I want you to imagine you're running down a hall at full speed in a giant house, you're running fast you turn left and then right, BRICK WALL!"

Seryu blinked for a second before her eyes started darting around, before she lost her balance and fell, "Wha?" as Seryu's eyes turned to swirls.

"SERYU!?" yelled Wave as he, Kurome and Esdeath stepped forward.

"What happened?" asked Esdeath.

Run looked closely at Seryu, "She has a concussion."

"And a crap ton of will to keep moving with that amount of brain damage." said Tatsumi with a sigh at the end, "Saw it a while ago, a dumb ass thought he could fight with a make shift cannon for an arm, thought I think Seryu's is worse." as everyone looked at him, "I'm no doctor, but from what I saw her limbs are all mechanical right all the way up to her shoulder. She's small and uses a cannon twice her size, shooting massive rounds sending all those vibrations and recoil directly into her body, specifically her shoulder that's connected to the spine, neck and further upward her brain. Each shot has most likely been rattling the damn thing like crazy."

Stylish looked down at Seryu, "I see, I thought she was strong enough to handle it, but it seems to just have been adrenaline and her own will power keeping her moving." he then twisted his face and spoke quietly, "How unstylish of you Seryu."

"I'm fine!" said Seryu firmly as she stood up straight with a smile, "Come on now, some of those evil doers are probably getting away right now as we speak."

"And what are you going to do, when your willpower ain't going to keep you standing." Said Tatsumi with a neutral face, "Or when one of those weapons finally pushes you over the edge."

"Don't worry, I'll just get stronger," said Seryu, "I'll be just fine as long as I can still fight for justice."

"You'll die." stated Tatsumi simply.

"We're all going to die." said Kurome as her expression darkened. " Only a foo-

"Yeah yeah yeah, only a fool would think they could walk on the field of battle and think that they can come out unscaved," finished Tatsumi after interrupting Kurome causing her get annoyed, "I've heard it a thousand times from a bunch of warriors, I don't need to hear it again. I should rephrase what I meant when I said 'You'll die,' what I meant was your going to commit suicide on the battle field and do you know what that means?"

Seryu paused for a moment at as she thought about it before giving everyone a bright smile, "It means I've done my part and brought justice to my very end and defeated the evil doers with my last breath."

"NO! That's not at all what I mean-" Tatsumi stopped mid sentence, "Wait what was that last part?"

"Defeating the evil doers with my last breath."

Tatsumi did nothing at first before slowly take a step backwards away from Seryu, "Do you have some sort of suicide weapon on you?"

Seryu smiled and either it was the constant concussions she's been having or her own insanity but she opened her mouth and said, "I have a megaton bomb in my head."

"A MEGATON BOMB!" Yelled everyone but Stylish.

Several of them started moving back away from Seryu, "A megaton bomb, isn't that supposed to be powerful enough to kill an army?" asked Bols.

"More than that," said Run as he got ready to fly away, "Those can level a mountain."

"More like mountains," said Stylish with a smug smile, "My bomb is greater than any other, it could make cities disappear in an instance."

"ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE!" yelled Tatsumi with shark teeth.

"Wave be my shield." said Kurome as she got behind him.

"Why are you hiding behind me?" asked Wave.

"ENOUGH!" yelled Esdeath as she silenced her team, 'This is not how I wanted our first mission to go, but it looks like all the bandits are either dead or have fled and as for my team it's been educational to say the least.' As she looked at her team she could clearly see somethings that needed correcting, "Alright I believe our mission here has been completed and when we get back, Stylish I want you to remove that bomb from Seryu."

"What?!" yelled Stylish with tears in his eyes.

"Wait general Esdeath, please don't, I need it to make sure I finish off all evil doers." begged Seryu before looking at Tatsumi, "Don't listen to this man, he's just a blacksmith he knows nothing of the fight for justice."

"Your right, I am just a blacksmith," said Tatsumi as he gave her a solemn look, "I just repair the weapons, but you know while I repair the weapons a lot of people tell me stories, quite a lot of those stories are about their dead friends, those they've lost in combat and all those stories made me realize you can die in battle and become a tall tale or…you can live and stand tall with your comrades, to fight another day. You can always bring back intel to save your friends, to watch their backs and make sure you all make it through this hell we call life." He gave them all an unshakable glare, "Don't ever think so little of your own life."

They all watched as Tatsumi began to walk off, half tempted to run off before Esdeath caught up with him and the strange feeling came back to him.
"Pure foolishness." scoffed Stylish as he started walking off, "Come now Seryuu we best do what the general asks of us."

Seryu followed like a depressed slug, "Okay," she mumbled.

"I want to get some midnight sweets." said Kurome.

"Do you eat anything but sweets?" asked Wave.

"Well today has been eventful," said Run, "But I think our new team members might be more helpful then I first realized."

"Indeed," said Bols as he held Rubicante in it's new hammer form, "I wonder what other secrets he can unlock from our Teigu's."

That question got all their attention, Run hummed, "Maybe we should give that a try."

~o~

Once they got back Tatsumi needed to find some place to be alone but with Esdeath always around that meant the only place was the shower, though as the warm water washed over him, he couldn't feel it at all. 'What the fuck is happening to me?' He looked down and saw as he member was rock hard and ready to go, 'Ever since we started making our way back, my did has been rock hard as if I downed a whole bottle of some sort of sex drug. I've checked several times even activated En around that damn bio nen dog, Koro, but nothing, no other nen but mine, so why the fuck am I so HORNY?!'

Frost couldn't help but chuckle, 'Because you were bread for this brat, hehehahaha. Looks like Tyrant did good work, this is no longer just biology boy, your body is now acting on it's own with no nen interference at all. Deep in your genes was a very small portion of Tyrant's DNA, now that it's activated your body will be the very conduit to our freedom and with my nen activating inside Esdeath making her touch and presence an incredible strong aphrodisiac you can't possibly resist.'

Tatsumi froze in place as he heard the shower door open and close behind, he slowly turned around and saw what could only be described as a goddess in all of her nude glory, long legs, smooth perfect skin, an almost unrivaled set of breasts and a long flowing hair. Beautiful. Tatsumi began to breath heavily as he couldn't take his eyes off of the woman, "Esdeath," he gulped, "What ….what are….what are you doing?"

Esdeath gave him a loving look as she stepped closer to Tatsumi, "I know I should take this slow like Bols said but.." she then reached out and cupped his face, "But I just can't stay away, I can't stop myself, Tatsumi, I love you."

"Love me?! We just met." squeaked out Tatsumi as he slowly raised his hands up to her arms, 'I can kill,' He thought as his hand was near mid section, 'I can just activate my nen and rip her heart.' he then looked up at her gorgeous blue eyes, that reflected a cosy winter's day. 'I…i…I can make some nen scales to…to…' She then slowly leaned in connecting her lips to his. At that moment Tatsumi felt fireworks lit in his heart and a fire in his member.

Esdeath then slowly separated from Tatsumi, "That was my first kiss." she said in a low cute voice.

Tatsumi could barley hear it as his mind went blank as his animal instincts were coming out, "I love you." as he pulled her back into a kiss keeping their lips together as their hands explored each others bodies. Esdeath felt his lean toned muscles while he explored her curves giving her perfectly shaped ass a squeeze.

"Aha," she yelped as the squeeze sent a jolt of pleasure through body, her face blushed red. "I'm sorry, I've never done this before."

Tatsumi smiled, "Then allow me to lead." as began to rub her pussy.

"Aaaah, Ta ta Tatsumi," whispered Esdeath as he began inserting his finger inside Esdeath, making her legs feel like jelly.

"Wow, you've really never done anything like this have you," he leaned into her ear, "The fun is just starting."

Esdeath trembled in excitement, "Then don't let me slow you down."

Tatsumi took out his finger and lifted her leg and placed his member at the entrance. "Ready?"

"Of course." said Esdeath right before Tatsumi pushed himself causing Esdeath to truly scream like a girl, "Oh my..GOD!" as felt an ecstasy that she has never felt before in her life, "This is incredible, I never knew sex was so good, I never knew this is what a woman should feel like."

"We've just started," Tatsumi then began to move inside of Esdeath causing her to moan his name, "Damn you're so tight, you really have never done this before."

"No, Tatsumi, no please give me more, make me your woman." begged Esdeath.

"As you wish." Tatsumi then pinned her to the and lifted her other leg as he began to move faster and faster until he was violently fucking her.

Esdeath held her new lover for dear life as he kept pounding her, "Oh yes Tatsumi, give me more, give me more." she then yelled out his name as she came causing Tatsumi to stop, "Why'd you stop?"

"Did you just…"

Esdeath realized what he meant, "Well I suppose I just did, that was my first orgasim, but don't think for a second I'm done."

Tatsumi smiled and put her down quickly before turning off the water before picking her up bridal style. "Come on, let's take this to the bedroom."

Esdeath gave him a bright smile as her excitement returned tenfold. "Okay." As they began an all night session.
