精神病を殺す
XL: Kill the Psychopath
Akame had not been the same since Ben arrived in this world. Here was this boy who was armed with the most powerful weapon in the universe, a young woman who was fueled by a mysterious supernatural force, and a young man who can coat himself into any metallic or stone surface. These people were a force to be reckon with, and together, if they were inclined, they could take down the Empire overnight if they wanted. No life would have been lost during their scuffle. Since they have saved their universe on countless occasions, it would make sense that this mission here would consider to be child's play. If they could take down an intergalactic squid dictator, they could easily take down Prime Minister Honest with no effort. All of the Empire's resources were now considered to be moot, they already questioned the Empire's strength, but now, since Ben and the gang were here, the fate of the Capital was already decided according to the General.
However, though Najenda had recognize the true power within the Ultimatrix, Ben still had flaws. Flaws that the Empire could exploit. One to which considers one of Night Raid's prolong members, Sheele. Najenda had to change tactics. It doesn't take long for the Empire to figure out a person's weakness. If they were smart, they would know NOT to attack Ben head on. They know they would lose that fight, however, she thought that if they attacked him psychologically, they could disarm him without him even lifting a finger on the Ultimatrix and have him either join them or kill him, take the watch, and lock it up.
But that would also open a backdoor for some interdimensional warfare to commence. It would have been a war that NO ONE would want - not even the Empire. However, gladly, they were not aware of his whereabouts, and Ben was smart to not denote that information.
Najenda heard a small creek, she turned and saw Akame welcoming herself in. Najenda only took a deep breath and looked back, returning to her tranquil, but troubling state.
"You need to see me, boss?" she said.
"Tell everyone that we are moving to our new Hideout," she said. Akame nodded as she turned back to the door, Najenda cleared her throat, "Also, I want to ask you a question. Would you mind shutting the door?"
Akame nodded and closed the door. She was curious on the situation on what's been taking hold inside of her boss's mind; however, she could take a few good guesses on why she really called her in. Akame picked it up fast, "It's Ben isn't it?"
"Ben, Gwen, and Kevin," Najenda said.
"They're powerful are they?" Akame asked.
Najenda nodded, "I'm afraid the Empire is in the know about Ben. Though he hasn't been in the Capital, word is spreading like wildfire. The people are looking up to Ben and his family as gods and the Empire, being the Empire, doesn't like that."
"You assigned Sheele to protect him," Akame said.
"Maybe so," she said, "But Sheele is falling deeply in love with Ben, and Ben beginning to realize that - though a bit late. Normally, I wouldn't get involved in these kind of matters, but if the Empire finds this out, they could Sheele against us. They'll use her to break him."
"Sheele is..."
"Only human," Najenda said, "Like all of us. She maybe strong, but everyone has a weak spot. Not even the indestructible Ben could heal fast should anything happen to her. He could easily switch if it means if Sheele were to be in danger."
Akame had to think about this, though she had to be real with herself and admit that she also have strong feelings for Ben. She would often get slightly jealous between the pair, but understood that intervening would brew nothing but trouble. She was smart enough to engage in such trivial fights. However, her boss did have a point, Sheele and Ben have been seeing each other a lot. It was no longer a rumor. It could be seen from plain sight. Though Gwen is new in this world, her powers alone could make her an easy guess that she could be related to the brown-haired hero.
"What do you want me to do?" Akame asked.
"I want you to protect him. Sheele is going to retire for now," Najenda said.
"I understand," Akame said, "But why me?"
"Because the Empire wouldn't think twice to think that you and Ben are dating. You two are good friends - well to an extent, you respect him, but never in my mind have you expressed any romantic feelings for him," Najenda said.
Akame hid her blush, "Right," she said, "I will do whatever I can to protect Ben."
...
Outside, Chelsea leaned on the wall, disturbed and troubled that three newcomers had arrived with powers that could easily take down the Empire. She would often call Ben a fake and that his Ultimatrix was, "a knockoff version of her Gaia Foundation Imperial Arms".
She watched Mimi and Kevin talk on a stone near the hot spring. She listened in, "So you were a convict too huh?" Mimi asked.
"I was a very troubled kid growing up," Kevin said to her, "I'm not proud of it, but one cannot change the past unfortunately."
"Why would my Master try to kill me, after all I've done for him?" Mimi started to cry. Kevin led his index finger on her face, wiping the small tears from her jade green eyes.
"I don't know," Kevin said, "Guys like him have no reason why. They just do."
"Like what?"
"Well - how can I say this? Um? Well, before I became Ben's friend, I was dragged in a lot of bad shit. I was inspired by bad people to do terrible things, and then after that, they throw me away like an old gum wad," he continued, "I learned from an old friend, that the best leader in the whole wide world is not the person you see to inspire, its the person you are ignoring right now - yourself."
"So why did you follow Ben?"
"I don't," he said, "I follow myself. If what Ben or Gwen says makes sense, I'll hang, but if its some stupid shit, I just throw in the towel and say fuck it," he finished.
Mimi laughed.
"What a pointless story," Chelsea interjected. Kevin and Mimi turned to see a jealous Chelsea sucking on a lollipop.
"How?" Kevin asked.
"You guys make it so that Ben is some sort of god. He's a fraud and a fake. There is no way he can transform into those Beasts, Gwen creating those energy constructs, or you coating your body in metal armor. There is no way. I'm calling bullshit on that one - especially the part where you and your ilk claim that you guys are from another world," Chelsea said.
"Actually, I haven't lied since I gotten here," Kevin said, "and unless your eyes are made of bricks connected to the nearest stupid, Ben's Ultimatrix does grant him powers beyond anything anyone could imagine. Believe it or not. Gwen can summon energy, and I can
"Really? Then why can't he not show me?" Chelsea asked.
"I don't know, why?" Kevin asked.
"Maybe Ben was tired and that he wanted to spend some time with Sheele? Or somewhat maybe he shouldn't have too?" Mimi asked.
"Or maybe he wants to do the hanky-panky with the clueless violate girl? Maybe get some information out of her through sex?" Chelsea said, "Who to say that you won't do the same thing, Kevin? Gwen might be plotting to murder the entire team using Lubbock as a tool to shield her through sex and false compassion since she knows that Najenda's heart is closed off."
Kevin twitched his eye, "What's to stop me from smashing you?"
"Condoms," Chelsea quipped, "Look, I don't know why you guys are here, but the last time an unfamiliar face came to my squad, everyone died. Just in mind, I'l be watching you, Gwen, and your precious Ben. Because, if I see one hair missing on any of them, I'll kill you," she said getting up to Kevin's now pissed off face. Kevin was trying very hard not to bend down and absorb the stone nearby.
Kevin shook. Mimi had no opinion on what happened since she clocked out of the interaction as she thought about the recent event that had taken place. Ben and Night Raid had saved her. Though, she was unfamiliar with the technology that trapped Dr. Stylish. As the snobby young woman went on her merry-way, Kevin groaned and plopped back down on the stone next to Mimi.
"What did you do to my Master? Was he killed when he was sucked inside that little container?" she asked.
"No," Kevin corrected, trying to quell his anger, "It's a Null Void projector."
"A Null..what?"
"Null Void," said a new voice. Kevin groaned, his fist now absorbed the the stone was ready to fight Chelsea - until her stopped and noticed that it was Akame. Mimi submitted to Akame by staying extremely quiet.
"It's an interdimensional prison populated by cosmic criminals, is that right?" Akame asked, Kevin was shocked,. He wanted to know how Akame got this information. It was unlikely for someone in another universe would know about this dimension - especially this universe in particular.
"How?"
"Ben told me," Akame told.
"Oh that's explains it," Kevin said.
"In there, large creatures such as the Vulpimancer act as Prison Guards right? Or is it a fancier, politically correct way on saying hell," she asked.
"Um...yes?" Kevin was still shocked.
"Aside from all that, have you seen Ben? I need to talk to him," she said.
"He's with Sheele? Why?" Kevin asked.
"I need to brief him on an urgent matter," she said.
"You want to pull Ben away from Sheele so you can have a crack at him, do you?" Mimi asked, shocking Kevin, thus making him giggle. Akame's cheeks became slightly red, "Don't bother trying to explain, I may be traumatized by what happened to me a few days ago, but I can still find humor by listening in on what you said under your breath before you even came outside."
"I guess my feelings cannot be helped," Akame said, "Kevin?"
Kevin turned his attention to Akame as she walked towards him, "Can you teach me? I'm not good at it."
"Good at...good at what?"
"How to flirt?" Mimi asked.
Akame's cheeks reddened, she lowered her head, "Yes."
"First Sheele and now Akame?" Kevin said, "Ben, you white Youngblood Priest lookin' ass motherfucker," he said under his breath, "Okay, if I know Ben, he likes innocent girls. Are you by far...well aside from assassination, innocent?" Kevin asked.
"Um..." Akame bit her index finger, "What if I said no?"
Kevin and Mimi all stared at each other, "How old is she?" Kevin asked in his mind, now explicitly disgusted at the Empire.
...
It was late in the day; Esdeath was on her bed with her night gown on. She had a lot to think about - especially when it comes to her beloved Tatsumi and her mystery man, Ben, who was becoming the talk of the town. Esdeath was not the one to fall into the emotion of love and worry. Now granted, she would worry about her soldiers, but it was just for the sheer thrill for war, nothing more, nothing less. But this new emotion she was feeling felt warm and soft. Not hard and cracked.
She twisted and turned, trying to combat the raging emotions raging inside of her as well as a staple of fear and uncertainty. The queen of war was confused, angry, in love, scared - fearful. Not after that meeting with a certain man she met earlier,. He had a strange look to him, a strange vibe. Who was that man? He called himself as, Koan, but who the hell was he?
...
Koan and Esdeath were on the opposite ends of Esdeath's custom made, wooden desk. Koan stood with his hands behind his back wearing a permanent scowl across his face and Esdeath was on her chair, her elbows resting on the wooden surface, her hands linked together as chains as she leaned forward, "There is a weapo here that should not belong here."
"An Imperial Arms?"
"No. This is no Imperial Arms," Koan said, "This is far more than just an elite weapon."
"Then whatever it is, if its here, its in safe hands," Esdeath said, "I don't know why..."
"You're wrong."
"Explain."
"The same weapon that was used to beat you, has an opposite."
"An opposite? What do you mean?"
"Ben's watch contains creatures that you saw, faced, and lost - this one its predators. They are 5X as powerful as their prey."
"So what's this thing called?"
Koan took a deep breath; he stared at the ice queen in the eye with a serious look, "The Nemetrix. This Nemetrix, cannot be seen, heard, or discussed - especially in front of the young woman with her white pet," Koan added.
"Seryu," Esdeath said, "Why would Seryu would want with this Nemetrix?"
"Think about it?"
...
Esdeath stared at the ceiling, the voice of Koan's warning was still fresh in her mind, "We are talking about a young woman with a childish view of right and wrong. The same woman who lost her father, her mentor, and her best friend to a group of terrorists. And there is one man you met whose blood she wants to burn. And if she gets her hands on that watch, who to say she won't use it on you?"
Esdeath twisted her body, her hands acted as pillows as her mind was in deep thought. She remembered the beating Ben delivered to her. The rush of the thrill, the closeness of dying, the submission she felt. She was humiliated in front of her peers, beaten by a lone teenager armed with a powerful device that could end the Empire without a single thought. She had a staunch hatred for him - for a brief few minutes. Never had she had this feeling of submission before. When she was on the ground, pain screaming, echoing along her body like a surge of electricity racing through wires, she felt complete.
Ben was a true warrior. Here was her equal fighting to protect others using nigh-lethal force. She could have been killed had it never been for Sheele calming him down.
She wished she hadn't. She wanted Ben to go all out on her. Her fascination fastly was turning to arousal. Ben was strong. VERY strong. She was determined to do whatever means to get him - even if it was borderline psychotic.
"I won't let Seryu have you," she said, "I will protect you from her, and then afterwards, I will make you mind...my one true love," she said.
...
Seryu got up from her bed. Her head was as clear as a hot summer afternoon. She was peppy and ready to go, ready to serve her community to protect it from evil! Her Imperial Arms jumped on her, making her to giggle. It had been a few hours of sleep. Korro worked overtime to take down the anti-Ben 10 posters. She was depressed and critically unwell. She was starting to lose herself. Korro wanted to help his master by trying to limit her exposer to people who maybe talking about Ben. He realized that the less "Ben" noun was uttered, the more "normal" Seryu could be. They could spout out Justice and Night Raid - but Tennyson, the number 10, and Ben were a no-go. He had to literally write to people near her to not even utter words with a short "e". That's how bad it was.
Seryu got up from her bed, feeling a bit woozy, "Aye, my head," she said, now looking at her Imperial Arms, "Hey boy, you wanna go out and patrol the city? Maybe hunt down those humanoid Danger Beasts?" she asked.
Korro nodded, excited to go with his master.
"GREAT! Now let's go boy!" she said. She was about to run out the door until she saw a glare blinding her. She turned around saw the Collar Faceplate with a mouth on the front glaring from the sunlight. Seryu had a curious on her face - which was soon gone when it was wiped with a smile.
"Oh, I forgot about this thing! Stupid me! Silly," she said running to the small desk, grabbed the collar and ran off.
