Chapter 22: Hersey
Imperial Palace...
With Bolic's death causing his influence to vanish the Path of Peace was finally able to orchestrate an armed uprising. Believing that fighting against the Empire that oppresses its own people was their calling, they assaulted the government offices that imposed heavy taxes and the storehouses of the landlords. Although the Great Lord wanted to avoid bloodshed, understanding that land and food were needed to sustain the massive number of followers, he agreed to the rationale of the religious group's leaders. Many of the citizens oppressed by the Empire also rose up in response to the uprising and the revolution spread throughout the Empire. Simultaneously, the western nation for the precise moment. The inexperienced military of the Empire suffered one defeat after another and allowed the nation's army to penetrate dee into the Empire's territory. And thus, the Empire found itself many problems on its hands...
''Hey, Prime Minister Honest.'' spoke up the emperor as he knelt beside a small pond in the backyard of palace. ''I heard that our army lost to the western nation again. Will we really be alright?'' He releases a sigh. ''It sounds like we're surrounded by enemies on all sides.''
''My, my, where did you hear something like that, your highness?'' asked Honest in a cheerful manner. The snow fell lightly around them, giving off a winter feeling.
''From Seigi, the Secretary of Domestic Affairs.'' he replied.
''I see... it seems Segi is running way from his responsibilities.'' frowned the Minster.
''What do you mean?'' asked the emperor and quirked an eyebrow at him.
''The uprising across the Empire which is occurring right now is the Secretary of Domestic Affairs' responsibility.'' answered the Minster, rubbing his nose after he sneezed. ''He is trying to take the heat off his back by distracting us with news of the western nation. Please don't worry about out foreign enemies. We've called General Esdeath's army into action.''
''Ooh!'' the emperor's face lit up at the news. ''Then that means...''
''Yes.'' nodded the Prime Minster his head. ''General Esdeath will no doubt the able to rout the invading army. The number of soldiers is no longer of any importance. A thousand-year-old Empire will be bound to have something like this happen eventually. But please, do not worry. Remain calm and collected and be the pillar that supports the people.''
''I understand.'' the young emperor stood up with a smile. ''If the emperor is weak-minded, the Empire won't be able to stand strong. Thank you, Minister. You always have my back.''
''My, my.'' spoke Honest as he hastily ribbed through a huge of chunk of meat. After bidding the emperor goodbye. he made his way back to his chambers for lunch. ''Rebellions, invasions, it's been so stressful lately... I'm going to gain weight from all the stress.''
''Gyahaha, you're eating too much, Pops!'' proclaimed a voice from across him.
The person was a bulky young man with tanned skin, amber eyes, and slicked, spiky lilac hair styled in two long bangs that covers his face. He had an X-shaped scar on his face and a crown-like headgear similar to Minster. He wore a white tank top that reveals his stomach and white pants.
This is Syura, son of Prime Minister Honest.
''It's because your souvenirs are so delicious.'' said the Prome Minster, chewing his food. ''I wanted to let my beloved child go on a journey... so I let you outside the Empire and you've come back more impressive than ever. You've made me very proud, Syura.''
''I saw many interesting things around the world.'' explained Syura before looking out the window. ''But in the end, this Empire is still the most developed nation by far. The Southern islands and the Northern Tundra were so rural. They didn't even have firearms.''
''So, the next civilization that can match up to his Empire is... the Western kingdom?'' Honest asked his son.
''Yeah. They had some interesting, unique culture, like alchemy.'' answered Syura as he picked up his folk to play with his food. ''My only regret is... that I wasn't able to visit to the underdeveloped Eastern Island nation.''
''There was nothing you could have done about it.'' replied his father as he wiped his mouth with a napkin. ''The area across the Eastern Ocean is unknown territory.''
''But.'' grinned Syura as he got his father attention. ''I finished with the homework you gave me to do over the journey.'' ''Find people with useful talents... Pops.''
''Oho. Why didn't we take a look right away?'' questioned Honest as he followed his son outside to one of the arenas in the Empire used as a military training grounds and watched eagerly as a massive slaughtered the criminals in a heartbeat. The members consisted of Champ, Cosmina, Dorothea, Izou, Enshin and Syura himself.
''Aren't they great Pops?'' inquired Syura once the criminals had been eradicated.
''You've definitely gathered a group of talented people with high potential...'' replied Honest, stroking his bread. ''However, no matter how you look at it, they're equipped with Imperial Arms, aren't they...?''
''I went through the trouble of gathering Imperial Arms scattered outside the Empire.'' answered Syura with a huff. ''The least you could do is let use them. Besides, these guys all have world class talents. They'll have your Rakasha Demons or whatever in the dust.''
''Fufu... what a cute provocation.'' commented Honest.
''It's not a provocation.'' sneered Syura, his blood boiling. "I can prove it to you, by killing that Seigi person who's been a problem for you with our powers.''
''Oh, that won't be necessary.'' responded his father with a grin of his own. ''Times like these, when the nation in chaos, are the perfect opportunity to determine who is loyal and who is not. Any fools who oppose me... will be driven out of their positions and executed through. His expression turned nasty as he lusts for power showed through. ''Framing someone for a crime takes no effort at all... nufufu.''
''He's rotten as always. It won't be easy, surpassing Pops. Well, either way.'' thought a smirked Syura as he glanced at his new group. ''It's playtime. All toys are gathered.''
Imperial Capital...
''The Imperial Captial still feels peaceful.'' commented Wave as he took a slip of his hot drink.
Since it was snowing and Esdeath was out on a mission alone, he decided to accompany Kurome to a local coffee shop. Both Jaeger members were wearing their winter clothing to keep warm.
''Yeah.'' replied Kurome in an unenthusiastic manner.
''Come on, how long are you going to stay depressed, Kurome?'' asked Wave.
''But I wasn't useful when it really mattered.'' answered the black-haired girl, still looking down.
''It's true that we failed in our mission. That's why it's all the more important that we stay vigilant in protecting the Captial while the general is out fighting the invasion.'' Wave then pushed his plate across the table towards her. ''Here, I'll give you, my cake.''
''You're right.'' she smiled. ''If you, who got blown away by the enemy twice, are already over it, then I need to get over it too!''
''Ye...Yeah.'' said Wave, his pride hurt by the face he was pushed over by the same attack and was utterly useless.
''If that's going to be the same, I'll need my nutrients...!'' Kurome split the cake in half and popped a piece in her mouth, blushing at the sweet taste.
Wave smiled at the change in her mood before looking over to see Run standing in the middle of the street, paying close attention to a clown that was performing for a group of people.
''What's the matter, Run? You're interested in street performers?'' questioned Wave.
''That's not it...'' thought Run, his expression darkened as he continued to watch the show.
''Hey, Run! Why were you making such a scary face!'' Wave approached his comrade. ''Did something happen?''
''No..'' smiled Run, showing aside his thoughts. ''It's nothing.''
Road 250km south of the Capital...
To avoid being attacked while retreating, Night Raid chose a much longer detour back home and ended up coming from the south. As it stands now, they were camped out with two tents in the middle of a blizzard. Najenda was resting in bed, while Akame poked at the fire with a stick to keep it running.
''How's the fire, going Akame?'' asked Najenda.
''It's almost done. Susanoo and the others should be back with the food.'' explained AKame.
''That's great!'' exclaimed Leone happily.
''Well, we're all healed thanks to Ben.'' commented Lubbock.
''Speaking of Ben where he is?'' asked Sheele.
''I sent him to the Capital to get information about the Empire's next move.'' answered Najenda.
''I hope he will be alright.'' said Chelsea.
''If anyone can get some information without being seen is Ben.'' stated Akame with a smile.
''We were almost killed in action.'' thought Najenda. ''If Ben hadn't stayed and faced off against Esdeath we would've been dead with him on our side we'll be ready for the Empire's next move. As for myself... I probably will not live much longer. Even if it was incomplete, I used the Magatama Manifestation three times. I have no live at least until... the Revolution is complete...'
''It'll be alright.'' spoke Akame's soft voice. ''Nanjeda, you've always been tough. You'll definitely live thanks to Ben.''
''Hearing that from you, means a lot...'' smiled the leader.
''But in order to do that, you need take a lot of energy.'' Akame told her. ''Namely meat.''
''Yeah.'' laughed Najenda, knowing full well that Akame was a sucker for meat.
''So now we wait for the food hunting party!'' cheered Leone. ''They sure are talking their sweet time.''
The food hunting party about contained Mine, Tatsumi and Susanoo. The three of them went off to search while the others rested.
''This one looks delicious.'' crowed Tatsumi as he stood on top of his prey. ''Akame will be pleased.'' He lifted the catch over his shoulder effortlessly. ''Alright, let's go back.''
''Oh!'' spoke Mine. ''Wa-Wait a second!'' She started to fiddle with her fingers, a blush on her face. The two of them stood in silence. ''No... nothing. It's nothing...'' She finally said.
''What is it?'' Tatsumi asked her. ''You've been doing this a lot of recently.''
''Sh... Shut up!'' She snapped at him.
''I've always thought you were the more confident type who would just say what you wanted to say.'' he commented and frowned when she grabbed his sleeve.
''F-i-Fine then!'' she replied hotly, a giant blush on her face now. ''Then I'll tell you what I was going to say... so, listen up!'' She took a deep breath before looking into his eyes. ''Will you... go out with me? You know, be my boyfriend?'' There was silence as the boy's mind worked furiously so register works. Slowly a blush appeared in his face.
''... Mine... you...'' Tatsumi was at loss of words, since he's never been confessed too before. This was a first for him.
Imperial Palace Council Hall...
''As you all should know, the Revolutionary Army has been breached the En Gate without bloodshed.'' began Minister Honest as he took a bite out of a piece of meat. Since he was a gluttonous basted, he could be seen stuffing his face with food at any and all given points of the day. There were all sorts of army personals sitting at the table, even Syura stood behind his father listening meeting. ''Do any of you have ingenious plan... to counter this threat?''
''Damn, surrendering without a fight again...'' spoke one of the men, slamming his fist against the table. ''All our commanders are spinless cowards!''
''What are our armies doing?'' asked another man, furrowing his brows. ''Stop wasting time putting down petty riots and send them to fight me the Revolutionary Army.''
''Our armies have engaged them multiple times.''' spoke up a third man. ''However, the Revolutionary Army is full of experienced, former generals who are equipped with Imperial Arms.'' He then proceeded to note some of the weapons. ''Black Marlin... Ecstasy... even Scream...! We don't stand a chance!''
''So, most of the missing Imperial Arms have been failing into the hands of the Revolutionary Army.'' chimed in a fourth man. ''Perhaps we've been underestimating them.''
''They're all panicking about this or that...'' mumbled Honest to himself. ''So, pathetic. I can't even eat in peace.''
''The reason why Pops can be calm in such a dire situation must be because the ultimate Imperial Arms that has been passed down through the imperial line... is falling into his hands.'' thought Syura carefully, looking at the back of his father's head
''Stop weaning, you fools.'' called out a booming voice as heavy footsteps throughout the room. ''And you call yourselves rulers of the people?''
The voice belongs to a tall and muscular middle-aged man with spiky blond hair with two longer bangs resembling horns and blue eyes. He wore a black, skintight top with long sleeves, a gray armor, white pants and a red cloak. His shoulder guards were notably large and have yellow Tomoe markings on them.
'''Oh!'' one of them mean pup up in shock as well as in awe. ''Great General Budo!''
''And also, because... this geezer is here...'' thought Syura as the armored man sat down at the table, arms crossed over his chest.
''I the Revolutionary Army reaches the Captial, my imperial guards and I will eliminate them. Do not fear.'' He told them gruffly.
''How reassuring. If the Great General will fight for us, we can win!''
''Yes...! There was no reason to fret in the first place.'' Some of the man said confidently but Budo gave them a glare.
''A military officer is not to interfere with the government... I was born into a linage of Great Generals, every one of which has obeyed this rule. However, I cannot remain silent in a situation like this. You...'' He gazed at Honest who had passed in his eating. ''After the Revolutionary Army is eradicated... I will need to eliminate the source of the Empire's instability itself. No matter who that might be.''
''Oooh, scary, scary.'' mocked Honest in a childish manner. ''I don't know who you're talking about but, that person should prepared themselves.''
''Things are getting even more interesting.'' grinned Syura as he watched two men stare each other down with hostile eyes. ''I came back at a great time!''
Unknown to them, Ben as Ghostfreak was invisible has been listening to them the whole time.
''So, I'm guessing the fat guy is the Minster and his minions are his brain deflect underlings. What a fair band of freaks.'' said Ghostfreak, he then turned to the right towards Budo. ''And I'm guessing the big ugly guy with the blonde hair is Budo. ''I can see why Night Raid see him as an obstacle. Even with my strongest guys could be a bit of a challenge. I may need to watch out for him. So, the threat is still Night Raid and the Revolutionary Army. And the 'Ben Tennyson question' is not really taken that seriously. I'm wondering they are planning to do next. I'll be back for information next time.'' he phased right through the roof. ''I'd like to know what Minister's son is up to?''
Restaurant...
Inside the Captial, two spies for the Revolutionary Army Pais and her partner Ritone, sat down with a man for quick drink as well as some information about the latest gossip.
''Because of them, leaving the Captial is worse than ever.'' glowered the man, slamming his drink down. ''Well, because of the Revolution, the other parts of the Empire aren't exactly paradise, either...''
''By them, you mean... that newly formed security organization...?'' asked Pais as she scribbled down some notes.
''Hey! They're coming!''
''Hurry and close the shop!''
''Hide all the boys and girls!'' The shop owners were running around in panic, closing the door and lowering the blinds.
''You guys...'' spoke the man with a worried expression. Do not go outside, no matter what. They're the secret police, Wild Hurt...! They do whatever they want using the title of the Prime Minister's son, and their cruelty knows no bounds.''
''They're all closed?'' asked Syura when he looked around at all of the shops. ''Howling boring. It's because you go too far with your investigations every time, Dorothea.'' he frowned at his teammates. ''They all got afraid.''
''I got bored. What was I supposed to do?'' she huffed in response. ''Besides, the whole point of me coming to the Captial was because I wanted to meet this scientist, Dr. Stylish!''
''My bad, I didn't think he'd be dead.'' apologized Syura, running his hands through his hair with mild frustration. ''It would have been so fun if we could have combined your alchemy and his science.''
''Wild Hunt...!'' The group looked up to see a group of fighters standing before them. ''You bastards, how dare you kill our master ad his family! We, the disciples of the Imperial Fist, will you, even if it means we are to be punished by law!''
''I like loyalty.'' gleamed Syura, his blood pumping as he eagerly looked at his toys. ''I declare that this group will be punished to death by torture in public!''
Unknown to them, Ben as Big Chill as watching and listening to everything.
''I got to tell the others about this.'' Big Chill phased the ceiling before Wave and Run arrived.
Night Raid Base...
Ben had returned to the base all the Night Raid members were present in the meeting room. He was explaining about the Minster's son has formed a security group called 'The Wild Hurt.'
''So, the Minster's son, Syura has formed a security force called the Wild Hunt?'' asked Najenda.
''That's right.'' answered Ben.
''The Wild Hurt seems to do whatever they want?'' asked Lubbock.
''It's looks that way.'' pointed out Leone.
''We should do about them?'' asked Tatsumi.
''We're going to kill this Wild Hurt and put an end to their killing scheme.'' answered Najenda.
''I wonder what kind of Imperial Arms they are using?'' wondered Sheele.
''We will wait for the report of the spies until. But right now, is getting late. Let's get some sleep, everyone.'' ordered Najenda.
Ben and the Night Raid members nodded and started heading to their rooms.
''Whatever your game is Syura, I'll stop you and your father for good.'' thought Ben.
