XLI: Kill the Doubt
Seryu walked with her dog, Korro that afternoon patrolling the Capitol for anything looked suspicious. Korro, relieved that he had gotten rid of the posters was no longer tethered with the fear of his master losing her soul by her unchained hatred of the green changeling. He encouraged the help of some of his allies, Run and many others who were disturbed by her constant obsession to remove the posters and eliminate anyone using the following language such as "Ben", "Tennyson", "10" (now replaced as X) nor show off the color green. There were a few guards who would watch over Seryu and Korro in case someone would try to trigger the "banned phrases" of what not to say while Seryu is out on patrol - or anywhere.
It was great to se Koro see his master happy and pleasant. It was VERY rare to see her sane instead of OVER OBSESSING on Ben Tennyson every day, every hour, every second. It was getting to the point that even the Emperor was becoming a little worried about her. Esdeath had seen the increased aggression from Seryu, but it wasn't compared to Wave. What Wave saw was a total different person. It was NOT Seryu - well at least not the justice-obsessed. She was obsessed alright, but she was drunk on that alcohol 172 times in a night, multiplied by 4 and that's Seryu.
Esdeath had to keep a watchful eye on her. Seryu was planning to search and destroy Ben piece by piece. She couldn't have that. Not at all. She hired guards to be on a watch out for her.
Seryu on the other hand had no care in the world. She had totally forgotten about Ben - at least for awhile.
Once word got out that Seryu and a few of the Jaegers were on patrol, people quietly went on by their day. Some brown nosed to Seryu in order to keep the peace. They offered her food and other items, but she politely declined. She was out looking for crime and she was not gonna give up until she purged all the things that are "evil" out from this world. Though, she kept her trademarked sunny smile to appease to the public, letting them know that they were safe.
However, something had been bothering the canine owner for quite sometime. She pulled out her pocket and just stared at the strange object she picked up. It was unlike anything she had ever seen.
"Hm...this looks more like a collar piece!" Seryu said. Korro looked at his master wanting to know on what she was talking about. He spotted the badge she held in her hand; he felt nothing of it, neither did anyone, but that didn't stop Seryu from being curious. She pondered as she patrolled this one street. She shrugged.
"Meh," she said, she faced Korro, bent down and stuck the strange device on Korro's collar, "There you are boy!" she said, "Now you like a..."
"MONSTER!" a random pedestrian screamed. Immediately, Seryu and Korro all turned to the source. Humanoid Danger Beasts terrorized the city-folk. Seryu was much too eager to oblige in their deaths.
"Looks like they are in a need of a casket! Wanna show them the way?" Seryu popped her robotic knuckles. Korro chuckled with a confident, albeit, psychotic smile on his face.
...
It's been days since Night Raid moved into their new Hideout. It was the same like the one. Not much difference. Akame was outside the Conference Room while she played with a fork. She leered her ear on the door listening on the conversation between Najenda, Ben and Sheele.
Inside Sheele, who was VERY close to Ben, shook. She was very nervous about her opinions of her relationship between her and Ben. Ben however felt even more nervous. He had no idea what was going on. No one told him nor Sheele. It dawned to Najenda that Sheele was becoming too attached to Ben. It was no secret the pair would often hang out with one another. Sheele made it abundantly clear that she would ALWAYS be their for him and protect him by any means necessary. Ben, though quite slow, was beginning to pick up her obvious advances.
She held no doubts that the two were a formidable fighting force. If it were to decide of a match between Akame and Tatsumi vs Ben and Sheele, it would have been a close victory, sure, but it would heavily lean towards Ben and Sheele.
Ben was the wielder of the alleged powerful weapon in the universe; he could transform into any creature from his playlist and Sheele was an expert assassin. Putting those two together would make the elite fighters in the Empire to whimper and scatter.
She had given some thought though. Since Sheele and Ben were much more capable of fighting along with one another, she thought about what about other members?
She looked back and thought about it. Who would Ben, aside from Sheele, would best fit? Ben with Sheele had proven to be a much powerful pair, but she was curious how Ben would fair fighting with Akame without Sheele's help. Akame was silent on the issue. Though inside she was happy that she would take over as Ben's guard for now, but she new deeply that Ben may not be the type of guy to handle her - if at all.
"Sheele, you and Ben are a powerful fighting force. There is no doubt in my mind that if it were to choose between the Empire and you too, you woud fair well with an enormous advantage," she added, Sheele and Ben smiled, "However, with some thought, I am going to do an experiment."
"By what?" Ben asked.
"You two will not be going to any missions together for awhile," she said. Sheele's heart sank and Ben went pale. Sheele was the only person, aside from Gwen and Kevin, whom he felt comfortable with. Why would she all of a sudden split them up?
"But I thought..."
"You are," Najenda reassured, "But Ben here rarely fought with other members aside from Sheele."
"He fought with Tatsumi," Akame defended.
"Yeah, but how many times?" Najenda asked, "We are at war with the Empire. Ben is armed with the most powerful device imaginable. And with the Jaegers growing in strength and numbers I think its better to let Ben train with other members of Night Raid so that he can better prepare himself to fight along them if the time is needed for them."
"But what about Sheele and I? Clearly..."
"I understand, Ben," she took a puff, "Like I said, you two are a powerful fighting force; however, I think its more effective for you to fight along with other members of this team. There maybe become a day where she won't be around."
Ben paled at this, "What do you mean by that?"
"In this world, Ben, people kill or get killed. We are at war with the Empire. No one is immune to their cruelty," she continued, "What I am saying is that in the off chance she does die in the hand of the empire, despite your watch, you would be vulnerable. They wouldn't doubt your physical prowess, but its the mind they would try to shatter. And with a broken mind, the most powerful of individuals will fall."
"I don't believe Sheele will die in anyway," he argued, "She's a skillful fighter! Look, I'm not saying that I don't want to work with the rest of the members here, but what you're saying doesn't make sense. Even if the Empire does manage to kidnap me or Sheele, or Akame, we do have a fighting spirit that will trail on. I'm not saying my mind is invincible or what have you, but Sheele and I have proven that we can be a formidable force to be reckon with."
Sheele smiled a small grin as she slowly reached her arm over to Ben's hand, "He's right," she said, "I won't doubt my love for him," her head lowered before she rose it up facing Najenda, "I do. I would protect him from anything and anyone who dared to hurt him. We are a fighting force and I can sure say that I am damn proud of that," she continued, "Even if Ben trained and fought with Leone, or Tatsumi, or anyone else, they are keen to be vulnerable as much as I am. No is stronger than the other. Even Akame, as skillful as she is, she is still human. Aren't we all human? Destined to fall by our own desires, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions?"
Akame listening to Sheele and Ben arguing to Najenda about this plan spoke out, "They're right."
Everyone turned to her, "Ben and Sheele are a good fighting force if not more. I would love to work with him and see how far he's gone since he's been here. At the end of the day, I feel its Ben's decision whether or not if he wants to fight with someone for this mission be it either with me or Sheele," she smiled over to Sheele. She smiled right back.
"Understandable," she said, "So Ben, to whom do you want to work with for the time being for this mission?"
Both women stood in attention. He took a deep breath and thought about it. He really liked Sheele. She was the only person who was kind to him. She protected him. Befriended him. She and Ben were remarkably close. Akame on the other hand, he was close to her but not in the same length as Sheele was.
Ben opened his eyes and relaxed, "I want to fight with Akame for this mission," he said shocking both Sheele and Najenda.
"Are you sure?" Najenda asked.
"Ben-kun?" Sheele said softly, Ben walked over to her, "I may not be native to this world, Sheele, but I have to train with other people so I can get stronger."
Sheele kissed him on the cheek, "Promise me that you will return," she held both of his hands.
"I thought this was going to be a debate," Ben said.
Sheele frowned, "I am a little saddened," her smile stretched, "But if you are sure about this, I will support you."
Ben smiled, "Thanks, Sheele."
The pair hugged, before the pair broke, Sheele whispered to Ben's ear, "Be safe."
Ben nodded.
The pair broke the hug and Ben walked over to Akame's side who had a small smile on her face, happy to see the pair together supporting each other, however she had a small sliver of jealousy lurking here and there, but it wasn't too severe. She walked over to Ben - maybe too close to Ben's comfort.
"Alright, Ben," Najenda began, "Starting tonight you and Akame will scout the area for intruders."
"Yes ma'am," Ben and Akame said in unison with Sheele, though close to Ben, opened enough space between them. She loved him, but she understood very well that the mission, unfortunately, always come first. Ben was starting to understand this. However she understood that Ben's moral code of not to kill won't be rocked so easily. She respected that - she loved that. But one began to wonder to how long this code would last in a world as messed up as hers? As Akame and Ben left, Sheele and Ben looked at each other. Sheele like a magnet slowly walked towards him as Akame and Ben left the room and closed the door.
"Sheele?" Najenda called. Sheele turned to her boss who got up from her chair.
"Yes, boss?"
"Are you okay? Normally you don't seem...?"
"Is it...bad?"
"No...no!" Najenda said, "It's a beautiful thing! Wonderful! But Sheele, from one woman to another, you need to be careful. You and I know that this world is filled with evil people and..."
"I know, but that doesn't mean Ben can't..."
"Handle himself?" Najenda asked, "I think he can handle himself."
"How do you know? He doesn't know this world," she said, "He..."
"Trust him, he knows what he's doing," she said with a reassuring smile, "As asinine I think this is, he'll manage okay."
"But why did he choose Akame? Why didn't...?"
"Because he was afraid," she said.
"Afraid of what?" Sheele asked.
...
Back in the Capital, while the guards and the rest of the Jaegers were busy fighting off the Humanoid Danger Beast threat, Wave stayed behind watching the wall in front of him...calling him.
"Wave...Wave...Wave...Wave..."
His heart pounded, kicking his chest. He brushed a gale of air from his lungs in a loop. The voices in his head...were cynical, filled with evil and twisted spirits. The one voice that stuck itself inside his brain was none other than Seryu. He couldn't forget that night. He could have been killed by that psychopath. But instead she let him live. Why? Was there a motive? No one knows for sure.
All Wave knew was that he saw the face of evil. Satan's cries was of innocence and pride. It was a scary thought. a thought he tried to kill. But like roaches, they were hard to scorch.
"Kill Ben! Kill Ben! KILL BEN ! BEN TENNYSON MUST DIE!" he heard those words over and over. Seryu would torment this poor man over and over. Day by day. He could have went to Esdeath, but who knew what would have happened. In his mind, Esdeath would have been killed. Hell, it wouldn't surprise anyone if he thought for a minute that he was convinced that Seryu could kill her without a second thought.
"BEN! BEN! BEN! BEN!"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" Wave screamed to the top of his lungs earning him a visit from Kurome.
"Wave?"
Wave turned around like a undead zombie, pale as a ghostm ashy as hell, dirty as a homeless man living under a bridge for decades. He looked sick. There were a few stab wounds, now partially healed, but they were still horrific to see.
"Help me?" he begged in an inaudible tone in his voice.
"Dear God," Kurome was horrified, rushing to the aid of her friend.
AN: Hello there people of the Fanfiction community this is MegaRdaniels bringing you a new chapter for the story, Ultimate ga Kill. Sorry for the wait, I had a lot of stuff going on. College is on its way back in a few more weeks, wage increase, finding new jobs, apartments, etc. Life is giving me hell right now! Ugh! Sometimes I wish I was back in high school when times were simple! Ugh!
Looks like in the next chapter Seryu will finally use the Nemetrix! Just how long her sanity factor would remain stable is up for debate. Speaking of that, a friend of mine and I talked on the phone and wondered who is more terrifying Seryu (from the manga and anime) or Seryu (Ultimate ga Kill). Just wondering.
Also, as a response to tomahawkESP, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS YOUR CATCHPHRASE MANG! I DIDN'T KNOW LOL!
Anyway, I'mma get out of here! Until next time, I'mma steal a pie, 'til we meet again...
PEACE OUT AND CHICKEN SKULLS! :)
