Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN BEN 10 OR AKAME GA KILL. THEY BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS. BEN 10 IS OWNED BY MAN OF ACTION AND AKAME GA KILL IS OWNED BY SQUARE ENIX.
Hello guys, yes I am over a few months late. Welp we are back in election season and I can already tell that there will be some people that will bring politics in fanfiction. Again. Hey, if there is a story where Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders is fighting in a fist fight in giant mecha suits, then yeah sure, I'll read it. I mean who wouldn't?
Plus I work in Tech Support, gonna be working in IT so yeeeeah! Don't give me wrong, working in the Retirement Home was rewarding but I thought it was time for me to go and explore new opportunities for me. Anyway, let's not beat around the bush, here is the 46th Chapter of "Ultimate ga Kill".
あなたの敵を殺すために誘惑を殺す
XLVI: Kill the Temptation to Kill Thy Enemy
Sitting in her room, the most feared General Esdeath sat by her window stared at a drawing of a young man wearing a particular jacket with the number 10 on the side. She looked worried. She sat there for a few hours just looking until she heard her door opened.
"Commander?" Run asked. General Esdeath looked forward.
"Two unidentified women have been spotted on the high road. We can expect that its Akame and Mine from Night Raid," Run said. Now focused, Esdeath closed her book and stood up, "Gather the Jaegers, immediately," she commanded.
...
On the cliff, Mine complained that the Alien Force and her team were having the time of their lives relaxing and soaking up all the sun while she and Akame kept watch. Akame stood behind Mine from a distance deep in thought.
"This is no fun, how come they have all the fun? This is bullcrap!" she complained.
Akame hugged herself tighter as she remembered...
...
Back at the Hideout, Ben followed Akame down the hallway. Ben had no idea what has been going through Akame's mind as of late. She had been far too involved in his safety and well being. Well, it currently had beaten the alternative since they first met. She actually was trying to kill the man, not once but on multiple occasions. On multiple occassions, she wanted an excuse to settle the score against Ben beating her. She couldn't take that. But eventually, she got over it when Ben showed that he was not a threat and that he was there to help people. And he had shown that on multiple occasions proving to her that not only he was resourceful but also a man with a strong sense of justice.
Akame was growing worried about her new friend. She knew this world far better than anyone else. She knew that Ben was powerful in his own right, however, she doubted that if he got what it takes to take out the Empire upon any means necessary - even if it means if he would have to kill Esdeath.
Akame opened the door for her friend.
"Thanks," Ben said. Akame nodded and closed the door.
Akame's room was not all that impressive, it was minimalistic in nature, not much but a bed, a mirror, a closet, and a desk. Nothing else really to make her room stand out as much. However, it was far cleaner than Ben's room that was for sure.
Ben took a seat on her bed.
"Ben, I would like to have a word with you," Akame said.
"Go on," Ben permitted.
"Do you have any idea who you are up against?" Akame asked.
"The Empire. They are the..."
"No," Akame interrupted, "The Empire is just a room, like this one here. Nothing but walls and windows. You can occupy a room and you can leave a said room and it never changes. You can add pictures, paintings, food, anything. At the end of the day, it's all but a room," Akame said.
"And you are telling me this...why?" Ben asked.
"I'm telling you this because you lack the understanding of what you are up against, the true threat," she continued, "You see Ben, here on the Empire, corruption runs far deeper than you know. Far, far deeper than you know at the moment. Ben, I saw you face off against Seryu..."
"Wait...Seryu's the threat? She's not running the place..."
"Yet..." Akame said, "Because if what Gwen says is true and that she does have the Nemetrix, your Ultimatrix will not stand a chance against Seryu's wrath. In laymen's terms, 'She would make Vilgax her bottom's bitches, bottom bitch; however, that's not all I want you to watch out for..."
"Wait..are you worried about me?" Ben asked.
Akame stopped and blushed wildly. She shyly turned away and nodded.
"Oh...oh wow," Ben lifted her chin, "Look, I've faced many foes who wanted to kill me..."
"But not like this, Ben. Not like this. I've seen...I've seen powerful men and women get killed in the hands of these people. I don't want the same thing to happen to you." Akame held both of Ben's hands, "All I'm saying is that...be careful."
Ben smiled, "I will..."
"But that's not all you have to watch out for...listen carefully..."
...
Mine snapped her mind out of her daze, "Hey Akame, are you okay?"
"Y-yeah?" Akame said, doubting herself yet again.
"This is about Ben isn't it?" Mine asked.
"He's ambitious, I'll give him that...but..."
"He still does not know the full extent on what he is up against?" Mine asked.
"I've told him about Seryu and the Nemetirx..."
"That's not the danger isn't it? You're afraid that he'll face your sister huh?" Mine asked.
Akame jerked her head up to face Mine only to slowly dart her eyes down and squat down in sadness; Mine sat next to her friend.
"Look, Ben is going to be okay. You don't need to worry about him..."
"Ben is idealistic. He seeks the good in people, thinking he can change them."
"This is more for from Esdeath being the danger?"
"Actually I don't know. I don't know which one's worse, one with the Nemetrix or the one with an army? Either case, one of them is going to make a dumb mistake prompting Ben too..."
"No..." Mine caught.
"It would destroy him; we..."
"I don't think it would go down that road...besides, we are far more capable in taking care of ourselves as Ben and his team is; don't worry about him, he'll be okay, alright? After all of this is over, the only thing you're going to be worry about is Sheele," that earned Mine a slight punch in the arm as both ladies giggled.
...
Back at the Capital, The Jaegers met up at the Square; Esdeath was finishing up summarizing intel upon the location of the terrorist organization Night Raid, "Najenda is still heading east and Akame went to the south. We have witnesses who testified who came to town together but left separately," she finished, "We also have intel that B..."
"BEN?!" Seryu crushed the ice cream with her bare hands, her arms shook. Her eyes twitched like a drugged up crazy person, and her teeth were as sharpened as newly formed steel metal plate. The rest of the Jaegers were still uncomfortable with Seryu around. Shockingly no one in the group knew the truth of the murder of Prime Minister Honest - except for Esdeath and some higher top elite. A puppet government was put in place to keep order.
Esdeath knew she couldn't just oust or imprison Seryu for this, after all, she had the Nemetrix. And if rumors were true that she had Korro fused with the Nemetrix for the brief moment, then doing that and or killing her would warrant a massacre that could result in genocide. In other words, Seryu was too dangerous to live, but too risky to kill.
"Um...okay...that aside," Bols continued, "If they are going east they'll reach the Path of Peace headquarters, if they go south, they'll reach the city in support of the Revolutionary Army. It seems suspicious.
"We can cut them off on either point, get Ben Tennyson, crush his skull, put 50 bullets into his head, resurrect him, kill him again, take his wallet, resurrect him-only to kill him again!" Seryu cried out of excitement. She was VERY giddy on killing him, "And then while we at it, we'll kill, torture, and slowly slice up his little Sheele-and BOMB whoever gets in our way! Mwahahahahaha!" Seryu maniacally laughed scaring everyone in the group.
"I-I agree," Wave shook. Kurome caught his hand and shoved it back down. She nodded at him.
"I appreciate the enthusiasm," Esdeath said, "As misguided as it maybe. Nightraid is well known among the Capital. And they are fully aware of the wanted posters?"
"What about...?" Bols looked around and saw Kurome covering Seryu's ears.
"You know who?"
"Him? Bring him to me. I want him...alive."
This...as faint as it was, Seryu heard "Tennyson" and "Alive". Two words that should not be married to each other.
"ALIVE?! ALIVE?! Are you a dense woman? ARE YOU MAD?" Seryu dashed at Esdeath at full force jerking her by the shirt so much so that it almost ripped. Esdeath's rage was at its tipping point, but she was fully aware of Seryu's unnatural, animalistic rage that followed.
"I just want to question. If he grants me any trouble...then you can kill him," Esdeath said.
"R-really? So you ain't gonna do a lovey-dovey shtick?"
"No," Esdeath lied, "None of that. This is for the safety of the Empire. I need intel on Ben's watch before he can die. Save the best for last, am I right?"
"Y-yes, my lady. Y-y-yes! YES! I will agree to this...FOR NOW! But I will have the first kill if he refuses the interrogationing thing," she licked her lips.
"Is it just me or is it that the Captain is slowly becoming fearful of Seryu?" Run asked himself.
