IV: Kill the Lineage
Ben could not believe his eyes. Why would anyone do this? The people up there were suffering! They're dying! Ben looked back at the people who stood there and watched. This angered him to no limit. His arms reaching for the Ultimatrix.
"My god," Ben said, "Who would do this?"
Ben had to watch as the people hung up there suffer. Ben had to do something and fast, but first he had to get pass the people so that way he didn't get spotted. He couldn't do it in broad daylight. He had to be weary that those crazy goons were looking for him.
"I can't go Big Chill," Ben said, "But I have to help them. I have to free them when the sun goes down, hopefully they survive until then," said Ben walking away while coming up with a plan unaware that he was being watched by a certain pink-haired girl.

Mine watched the boy with the green jacket right after she caught her eyes off from the people crucified at the Town Square. Tatsumi was snapped out of his thinking when she pointed Tatsumi to the boy. He had fit the description.
None of the villagers were wearing a green jacket and plus, it was pretty warm outside. So why would anyone be wearing a jacket this late in the day. It was not night time, they so thought.
"That's the guy," Mine said.
"Are you sure?" Tatsumi asked.
Mine nodded, "He fit the description. I mean, look, that is the most ugly jacket I have ever seen. And now that I mentioned it, who wears a jacket in the Spring?" Mine asked.
"I don't know," Tatsumi said, "He does fit to who we were looking for. Should we take him out?"
"You don't just take out someone out in the open, stupid," Mine said, "Besides, we're trying not to be spotted by the Imperial Guards?"
"Right," Tatsumi said, his eyes never leaving Ben, ~Just how powerful is this guy? And how could he take out Akame and Leone all on the same day without a scratch?~
"Come on slow poke! We got to go!" Mine ordered.
Just as Tatsumi turned his eyes back on the boy he saw earlier, he disappeared, ~Who are you?~
It was a full moon and four out of five people who were nailed at the crucifix were dead. There was one woman who still stood out from the rest. She was clinging on for dear life, but not for long. Her muscles began to weaken, finally succumbing to the exhaustion and the wounds inflicted by the state. Tears flowed from her eyes raining back down to the ground below, already fearing death as he drew near.
Ben was asleep the whole day, sleeping until the night settled in. It was little to too late for him to rescue everyone from the torture. He sat there at the alley just thinking, "Who would do such a thing like this?"
He got up and stretched and walked to the Town Square only to find that 4 out of the 5 he saw yesterday suffering from the plight had died. Ben was horrified and sickened at this inhumane cruelty. He walked slowly to the area, thankfully there was no one around but the girl hanging for dear life.
"Hey!" Ben yelled to the woman.
No response.
"She's in pain," said Ben, "I gotta get her down from there." Ben activated his Ultimatrix and smashed the dial down. When the light died down stood a ghost-like figure bearing the Ultimatrix badge on its chest.
"GHOSTFREAK!" Ghostfreak shouted.
The woman opened her eyes to see a ghost floating in mid-air heading to her direction. The woman was about to scream until...
"Shh, I'm a friend," he said, "Don't worry, I'll get you down." The woman froze, already thinking that she died and went to purgatory. Ghostfreak flew behind her, untied, and removed the nails from her body. The girl fell off from the cross and was caught in the ghostly arms of her savior.
Ghostfreak laid her down to the ground gently; the woman, still shaken by her rescuer, could not take her eyes off of the creature that released her.
"Are you alright?" Ghostfreak asked.
"Am-Am I dead?" the woman asked.
"Far from it," Ghostfreak said, "I'm sorry I couldn't save the others, but you must leave here. If they find out that you are free, you would be killed for sure," Ghostfreak said, "Now go. Go now!"
The woman did not hesitate. She fled from the scene not looking back. Ghostfreak was soon engulfed by the same emerald green light and was replaced by a young teenage boy with a green jacket with the number ten to the side. Ben stood there watching the woman flee for her life; he couldn't find the words to describe it. Was it he that scared her or was it the whole city? The universe was just plain messed up. Ben had no idea what was going on? Or on what laws he broke. He was worried a little bit that the authorities would spot him but there were no cameras. In fact no one else was around but the woman that fled. And it was highly unlikely that she was going to come back to the Capital seeming that she was already wanted anyway.
"What is going on here?" Ben asked, "First that group from the forest tried to kill me and now this? Something is wrong here," Ben leaned against the wall trying to search for answers...until he found one. A sheet of paper flew to his face.
"What the...?" Ben shouted. He took the paper off from his face and read the note inscribed in it.
"Go to the forest where you see cherry blossom - Paradox," Ben read, "And that answers my question on who sent me here, but the main question I want to know is...is why?" Ben activated his Ultimatrix and slammed the dial down engulfing him in emerald green light and when the light died down coming out from the shadows was a red stingray with wings.
"JETRAY!" Jetray shouted as he took off.

In the huge palace too big to miss from afar from beyond the trees, surprisingly sitting on the throne of this magnificent was a young boy holding a staff facing a convicted criminal kneeling before him. The palace's main dome was coated green, symbolized wealth and goodness to the empire below. The palace was so large that it could be seen from the sky.
This young emperor, Makoto faced the man on his throne with little to no expression in his eyes. The throne room was vast and decorated in lavish red silk and stones and wood. The walls, coated in green and gold reflected on the Empire's wealth and prosperity, masking its corruption and greed. The very things that stupefied the young emperor.
"Administrator Shora," he began, "for speaking out publicly against our policies and interfering with the matters of state, we decree you should be drawn and quartered," The Emperor decreed.
Shora's eyes widened as he whimpered in fear. The young Emperor turned to see his fat first minister chowing down on meat. Prime Minister Honest was a vile man. A man coated in greed, bathed in the evils of corruption. His long, white beard was unkept. He wore a thick black and grey coat under a green shirt underneath. His smile was anything but genuine. It spelled nothing but pure evil.
"Did we make the right decision Minister?" the young emperor asked.
"Oh yes your highness," he said, "You're the wisest ruler of the Empire that could even dream of."
The young Emperor, though not as surprised caught on to the Minister's poor diet, "Is that meat again? You eat that a lot," The young Emperor noted.
The Minister laughed, "I like to enjoy it now while I'm young and healthy!"
Shora, with his gritting teeth, finally spoke out, "Your majesty, the Minister's deceiving you!" he continued, "Please, I implore you to open your ears to hear the voices of the people!"
The young Emperor looked back at his mentor with confusion, "Well Minister, did you hear what he just said?"
"Perhaps he has lost his mind," the Minister said.
"Right," Makoto continued, "You never led me astray before so perhaps this man must be insane!"
Shora was shocked, anger and fear spiraling down in a confused mush of fear and hatred. The Minister's eyes darted on the condemned man.
"My old friend," he began. The two guards struck Shora on his back, "Why must this end this way?"
"No please your Grace, if you don't stop him he'll lead this Empire into ruin!" he warned.
Prime Minister Honest approached him with his hands covering his face not bothering trying to hide that wide smile he wore across his face.
"No need to worry," he assured, "You can count on me to look after that beautiful wife of yours you're leaving behind," he said, "I'll be sure to satisfy all her needs, and I do mean all of them." He had a hungry look on his face. Shora knowing full and well on the Minister knew what he meant. All he would do is bring harm to his wife much to the man's horror. The Minister laughed maniacally as the Guards dragged him backwards towards the exit where he would face his punishment.
"No!" he cried, "You can't let this happen! He must be stopped! Please that man is a demon, can anyone see that! Please! PLEASE!" the man yelled as Honest watched in glee of the man is dragged out of the throne room.
After the Condemned man was vacated out, another guard, out of breath entered the throne room.
"Ahh a guard!" Prime Minister said, "To what may I have the pleasure..."
"Four of the prisoners of the Town Square have died," he panted.
"Good...wait...four?"
"Four," said the Imperial Guard.
"What happened to the other one?" The Minister asked, his patience running low.
"What is it, Minister?" the young Emperor asked.
"Nothing your Majesty!" The Minister yelled, "Nothing at all." He turned back to the Guard, "You find whoever did this and have him charged for obstructing justice," he ordered.
"Will do, Minister," said the Guard as he left.

The night settled in and Ben was anything but safe. The Forest was ANYTHING but safe. That means that he had to keep his guard up. He had to let the Ultimatrix recharge for when he encounters trouble. He was already in enough as there was already. He had to find this cherry blossom tree if he wanted to go home...or at least get some answers.
"Okay Ben, you just saw the Cherry Blossom tree on your way here as Jetray," Ben recalled, "All you have to do is walk a few more steps and then you are there or wait until the Ultimatrix finishes Recharging and then you can go Fasttrack and run over there," Ben sighed, "But then I would run across that crazy group again. Great Ben, what have you brought yourself into this time?"
Just when things couldn't get any crazier, Ben heard a shot fired from nearby followed by a trail of yellow light. Spooked, Ben ducked for cover. The yellow light temporarily outshined the moon. Ben ahd no idea what the hell went on, but all he knew was that he had to hurry.
"Oh and just to let you know I'm kinda a Badass Sniper Genius," Ben heard from nearby from a cliff. His eyes now wide open. He recognized the yellow ray from anywhere. It was from the day he went up against...her. This meant that she must be nearby and right now he was out of power to fight. He had to hurry to the Cherry Blossoms and go quietly so that way he wouldn't attract attention. Especially from the lion woman.
"Okay this is getting chaotic," Ben said, "No matter where I go I'm not safe! I am not safe! - Period! I have to play it cool until I get to the tree to meet Paradox to see what is going on here?"
Ben ran from his current spot heading due east to where the Cherry Blossom Tree was at.

Leone struck her hardened fist through a man's face with all of her power; blood sprayed from his head to the woman's claws, "Oooh that felt so incredible!" she said.
Sheele draped her large scissors over her back with a smile, "That was a pleasant challenge wasn't it?"
Then something struck with Akame, something was not quite right for two valid reasons, "Something's not right. Boss said that we were supposed to kill five and search for that boy that attacked us earlier," she said.
"Aw man and I didn't get to kill anyone left," Lubock complained, "Well at least it's just one left."
Leone smiled, "Too bad Lubock I'm docking your pay!"
"What?!" Lubock screamed, "You can't do that?"
"Wanna bet?" Leone asked now turning to Akame. Even though her Imperial Arms gave her enhanced abilities, her hearing was not ignored, "That boy better show up," she said catching everyone off guard, "That boy and I need a rematch."
"Can you just let that go?" Lubock asked before he was smacked in the back of the head.
"Don't tell me to let go you piece of crap! In case you forgot I was unfairly blasted through the forest LIKE A PEBBLE ON A LAKE! Not to mention that he ran like a bitch boy he is! No, I want to face him!"
"You will," Akame said, "He won't hide forever." Akame thought of where the fifth bodyguard could be. Her thoughts were if he wasn't with them then that means...
"Tatsumi," she said with worry from her voice.

It had been a few hours of searching but Ben finally found it. The Cherry Blossom tree just stood in the middle of the green trees surrounding it. Ben sighed with relief.
"Thank goodness its all over," Ben said, "But where's the Professor?"
"Here I am!" Ben jumped, turned around with his watch activated only to see a man wearing a white lab coat and khaki pants with goggles on his head, "Paradox?"
