XXI: Kill the Rescue Team
Ben returned from the Imperial Capital after denying participating in the Martial Arts Championship. It would have been a major giveaway to his identity and Night Raid would have compromised. It was smart for Leone to push back and banned Ben from ever partaking from an event like this. He didn't have a problem with this. Not in the slightest. He was getting tired from rapidly transforming every day.
He dropped on his mattress, ready to sleep until he heard a knock on the door. He moaned and suffocated his face with his soft, white pillow.
"Akame, I'm not in the mood to fight," Ben said.
"It's not Akame," said a familiar, soft voice.
Ben furrowed and removed the pillow. Sheele came inside the room relieved that Ben had declined just before Leone banned him. She was carrying a red book with her to which she lied on the side of the table right by the door.
"Sheele?" Ben was shocked, "W-what are you doing here?"
"Checking on you," Sheele said, "If it's not a problem." She stuttered. Ben was quick to stop her.
"N-no, no problem at all," Ben said, "I have no problem with you being here. So what's up?"
Sheele turned around, she played with her fingers, "I was just wondering if you would like to..."
"Train?" Ben guessed. Sheele laughed.
"No," she giggled, "I know how strong you are already."
"Oh," Ben blushed.
"I was wondering if you would like to...take a walk somewhere?" she asked, "It could take the mind off things for awhile."
Ben was about t immediately respond with a yes, but something inside of him pushed back. He remembered when akame asked him to take a walk, he was ambushed! Sheele wasn't as aggressive, but, according to the records he read, she was far more dangerous than anyone in the Hideout.
"How do I not know that this isn't some setup for a training session?" Ben asked, questioning her. Sheele understood Ben's fear but was a little annoyed at him. He should have known that not one day had she attacked him. And if she had, it was out of self-defense. But she calmly reassured Ben that things were going to be okay, "I do not have my Imperial Arms," she giggled.
"And, what is your Imperial Arms?" Ben asked, curious, "In fact, I never even seen yours."
"I can tell you if you walk with me?" Sheele asked. Ben, looked back at his bed. He wanted to rest, but what is one more walk's gonna do anyway. Ben shrugged.
"Alright then," he said.
...
On their way to the lake, Ben and Sheele were laughing on their way out from the woods. Ben wasn't as nervous to talk to her as he was back then. He still was nervous regarding how she actually looked, but the same could go for Sheele too. Every time she saw Ben, naturally, she would hide or walk the other way. But since the coming days, she had been interested in him. They had been walking in the woods for hours until they had reached for the said lake.
It was the same lake Sheele first trained Tatsumi on how to swim in armor, the story she shared Ben to which he saw it as weird.
"So this Exstase weapon," Ben began, "Those were the giant scissors you had?"
Sheele nodded, "It's my Imperial Arms. You see, Imperial Arms are mysterious and extremely powerful relics that exist in the world. They are rare, and only the strongest of warriors are able to wield them. Some have the appearance of equipment or weapons, while others seem to be living creatures. It is implied that a form of magic was used to create them, like my Exstace," she explained.
"So they must be powerful," Ben said, "It takes a skilled warrior to hone one of those things."
"Warriors like yourself?" Sheele furrowed.
Ben perked up, "Well, more like you. You carried a giant scissor like it was a teddy bear or something!" Ben deflected, "How much do you lift, girl?"
Sheele chuckled and flushed, "Good point."
Ben smiled and flushed.
"I know that it's not my place, but I told you how I got my Imperial Arms," she said, "How did you get yours?"
"My what?"
"Your watch on your wrist?" Sheele pointed. Ben smacked his hand on his head.
"Oh, my Ultimatrix," Ben said, "Well..." Before Ben went onto tell her the origins, he had to remember, this was not his world. And he was still wary of Akame. Akame figured out how to time him out, just think of how much other things she kept stored in her mind. She was like his own version of Batman.
That was a scary thought.
"If you're uncomfortable because of..."
"Hey, Sheele?"
Sheele looked at Ben, "How did Akame know how to transform me back?"
"She told me that she watched how you did it. She and others are concerned about what you might do before, during, and after the revolution," she said.
"And you..."
"Questioned it," she finished, shocking Ben, "Not out loud, but Mine and I were on the same boat as Night Raid on keeping an eye on you before you saved us. You risked your life trying to protect us. And you did it again with Tatsumi. The thing is if you were from the Empire, and if you were a spy, you would have annihilated us. But you didn't. You saved us."
"Yeah, well..."
"Mine questioned if it were legitimate. She had me convinced that it might have been planned or something. That was refuted when we had to remember that she had no idea who you were, none of the Imperial Guard stopped or hesitated. We saw how you handled them. Mine's still skeptical, but I know a hero when I see one," she said.
"I understand their fears," Ben said, "But I am here to help."
"I believe you," she said, "But it would take a lot of time for Night Raid to feel the same too. Just be patient with them. It'll all blow over."
Ben smiled, "Thanks."
Finally, Sheele took a deep breath preparing to ask the big question, "So where are you from?" she asked, "Where you're REALLY from?"
Ben turned around confused and nervous. Sheele might have been light headed, but she wasn't stupid. She could recognize a fish out of water anywhere. Tatsumi was just one of the few.
Ben took a deep breath, "If I tell you, will you promise not to tell anyone?"
Sheele nodded.
Ben took a deep breath again, "I am from Earth. But NOT this Earth. The Earth where the world like this could only exist in an anime: creatures like Danger Beast do not exist. Here you call them Danger Beast in my world, we call them aliens. I am from Bellwood, except that there, the Government is afraid of the people (now). And in this world, I'm a hero protecting everyone from outside threats. I've saved the world a plenty of times, especially from it getting destroyed by Vilgax, a galactic tyrant."
"Galactic?"
Ben held up his wrist, "This Ultimatrix stores millions of DNA samples of each alien allowing me to walk in their shoes." Ben went onto tell Sheele a quarter of his life, wowing her in the process proving her point that Ben was a stranger in their world, not an invader. He concluded on how he got here by the way of Professor Paradox.
"So those aren't Danger Beasts?" Sheele asked.
Ben nodded, "They're aliens. Creatures from the stars."
"There are other worlds out there?" Sheele asked looking up.
"Yep," Ben said, "From Earth to the end of the Ort Cloud there is life everywhere in the Milky Way. Believe me, I've seen some shit you would see in your nightmares and/or dreams," he finished.
Sheele became interested, "So your watch, it stores DNA of all the creatures you turn into?"
Ben nodded, "Yep and...keep this between you and me, Akame would have a heart attack if she knew half the stuff I told you."
"Agreed," she said, "It was nice for you to tell me."
"No problem," Ben said.
"And I understand why you refused to tell," Sheele said, "If you had told us that you were from another world, we would have killed you before you had the chance to transform. So, it was pretty smart for you to wait."
Ben sweated nervously, "Yeah!"
"Anyway," Sheele took off her clothes leaving only her purple bikini, "I'm going to swim across the river. Wanna join?"
Ben's face was as red as a tomato. Sheele was, and Ben had to admit, was pretty attractive. His eyes were frozen as he stared at her all around. Sheele was confused, "Ben, are you okay?"
Ben shook his head, snapping himself out from gazing at her body, "Y-yes, yes! YES! Why wouldn't I be?"
Sheele giggled, "Well come on! The river's not gonna wait on itself!" Sheele dove into the water. She rose back up from the waves, "Come in! Come! Come!"
"Alright!" Ben jumped off the cliff while switching on his Ultimatrix. A flash of green light blinded Sheele for a bit until she was pushed into shore by a large, black and yellow beetle creature.
"CANNONBOLT!" Cannonbolt yelled.
Sheele, now inshore, flipped her wet hair back and laughed. Cannonbolt shared when he realized how far he was from Sheele.
...
At the open space of the woods, Sheele and Ben shared funny stories about their adventures. Sheele was caught off guard about Ben's adventures, but she was interested in them regardless.
"This Kevin Levin person seems more like a big brother to you!" she said.
"The same big brother who tried to kill me."
"But that's siblings for you."
"Yeah," Ben finished.
"So, Ben, I have a question," she began.
"Shoot."
Sheele played with her hair, "Do you miss home?"
Ben nodded, "Everyday. I miss my cousin, my Grandpa, Mom, Dad, everyone. I even miss fighting the annoying Forever Knights," Ben laughed, "I was a hero in my world. Every other day I wake up and a new villain I had to fight. Days after, I sit back with my cousin and best friend at Mr. Smoothies and take a drink," Ben sighed, "I miss those days."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Sheele said, "Maybe when this is all over, we can help you get home."
"Hopefully," Ben said.
"You will," Sheele said with a warm smile, "Oh and Ben, in your world, was there a...um...uh...a special someone?"
"A special...what?"
Sheele's eye popped, "Oh sorry!" She flushed wildly.
"Okay?" Ben giggled, "You're really funny."
"I am?" Sheele asked innocently.
Ben giggled. The two of them stared at each other's eyes and smiled at one another, awkwardly though. Ben giggled once again as Sheele blushed a bit.
"Hey Ben?"
"Mmhm?"
"In your world you came from, I was just curious. Was there a girl?" Sheele asked nervously playing with her hair.
"Oh yeah, many!" Ben said unaware of the question being asked. Sheele sighed and looked down.
"Oh!" Ben caught himself, "Oh you mean, a girl."
Sheele smiled and nodded.
"Oh no," said Ben, "I'm as single as a lonely stone in a lake," he giggled, then his smile slowly turned into a frown, "My first love Julie had to break up though."
Sheele rose her left brow, "Who's Julie?"
"Julie was the most amazing girl I had ever met," Ben continued, "She was resourceful and gifted. She was always by my side when I needed her, but...when my secret identity was exposed, she was getting more and more in danger. She was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, all around. Just to get to me. Eventually, I had to break it off. It was painful for the both of us, but I thought it was the right thing to do. I don't want anyone hurt or dead. I'm..." Ben teared up. He was about to collpase until Sheele picked him up and held him.
"You're not dangerous," Sheele said, "Far from it. I've met a lot of dangerous people in this world, people who wouldn't think twice to claim your life. You? You're a hero. A man who would sacrifice everything - even your own life to save others. That's the courage this world needs right now," Sheele said.
Ben looked up at Sheele and wiped away his tears and gave her a small, but a sweet smile. Without warning, Ben surrounded Sheele in a tight bear hug. Sheele coughed and hugged him right back.
"Thanks, Sheele," he said.
"My pleasure, Ben," Sheele said.
...
Akame was in Ben's room walking back and forth. She was worried, not of Ben, but of Tatsumi. Word got out that when Leone and Lubbock went to the arena, something bad happened. She needed Ben's help.
When Ben entered his room that night, Akame turned around in tears. Ben was confused.
"Akame?" He closed the door, "What's wrong?"
"Tatsumi's gone missing!" Akame said, "He's missing!"
"Is he okay?"
"I don't know," she said.
"Could you go there and get him?"
"No. It's too risky. I cannot be seen in public like that. If they catch me, I'm dead. And our mission would be compromised," she said.
"What about Night Raid?"
"A few of them can be seen, but that number has been dwindling a lot lately," Akame continued, "Ben, can you go to the Imperial Capital and rescue him? The last thing on my mind is another teammate dead! Please?"
Ben's face turned serious, "You can count on me."
...
Ben was outside of the Hideout searching through his playlist, "Let's see, let's see..." He switched on his roster to check which alien he would need to that could best appropriately fit for this mission. He knew he had to fly there, but after reading files on Esdeath, choosing an alien proved to be difficult. He couldn't just go in and just blow up the place like it was nothing. He had to strategize.
"If Esdeath is as good in using her ice powers as the record claims," Ben said, "Looks like its time for..."
"Ben?" Ben's hand was in the air ready to slap down the faceplate with the hologram of Big Chill. It wasn't as soft as he remembered from Sheele, it was rather dry and smooth sounding.
"Akame?"
He turned around and saw her carrying chicken leg "You didn't eat. I cooked you a leg in case you get hungry."
"Okay then!" Ben said, getting the leg from Akame, "Thanks!"
"And Ben? Please, come back safe," she begged.
Ben scoffed, "As if I won't."
Akame smiled. Ben turned back around and slapped the watch down, blinding Akame in a bright green light. When the light died down, standing there was a blue moth-man with an imobile mouth.
"BIG CHILL!" Big Chill said gravely as he took off. Akame looked in the air as Big Chill flew east towards the Imperial Capital, unbeknownst to her, Sheele stood far behind in the background seeing Ben fly in the sky as Big Chill. After hearing that he would eventually had to face Esdeath, she silently walked away from the Hideout chasing Ben down.
~If Ben is going to the Imperial Capital, there's a big chance he's gonna run into trouble~, she said, holding a large kitchen knife, the hilt was wrapped around in white, duct tape, ~I may not have my Imperial Arms, but I do come prepared to attack anyone who omes in my way - especially against the Officer that attacked us. Ben, please be careful until I get there.~
