Bulat

The city was in flames he lost track of the dead, their siege engines had been set up about a week ago. The trebuchets pounded on the wall and the battering rams banged on the city gates. Bulat had been standing by his greatest comrade and practically his father figure. General Liver when the southern wall collapse. Summoning Incursio he was the first through the breach, he swung Incursio's support weapon Neuntote killing the first men that got near. As he led the charge he heard his men pour over the wall and the clash of steel reached his ears under his helm. This had been a good week or so ago, the city had been taken and now all that remained was the castle at the center.

News had reached the Empire that the previous Emperor had lost his life here. The mayor denied it vehemently but Prime Minister Honest had whipped the people and the royal court into a frenzy for revenge. General Liver stepped to him he was coated in blood his armor a gore his enemy all but destroyed before him. "A bloody battlefield, nothing else left here" stated Liver. Bulat nodded and looked on his fellow soldiers plundered the city he saw a fair share of women being dragged out of their homes raped in the streets and the men being murdered. These where their same people, they had nothing to do with the former Emperors death. Still he knew war he knew the sins men could commit in the battlefield. So he could not in good conscience hate his fellow soldiers but he also didn't approve or partook.

The city was theirs within the hour now their battering Ram was pounding on the Castle's doors. Bulat watched crossed armed under his armor. Liver with a hand on the pommel of his sword watched with a detached look. "A travesty so many dead on both sides to protect a traitor" muttered Bulat. Levi sighed placing a gauntlet over Bula'ts shoulder pauldron.

"War is as it always was son, nothing can be done about it. A bloody and awful mess where men's worst parts come to bare" he muttered.

"Al go on ahead and destroy the target" muttered Bulat. With the incredible power of Incursio he leapt into the sky and cleared the battlements. Landing on the inside

"The daemon! Kill him for the true emperor!" Bulat guessed the man leading them was the master at arms of the castle. He rushed him and so did his men. Bringing Neuntote to bare Bulat gave it a spin for good luck. The first man swung he sword he was cald in boiled leather and chain mail. Unlike the Empirial army they could not afford plate armor for all their men it would seem. Parrying the sword swipe with his spear Bulat brought his free hand to smash as a fist into his attacker's chest. Bulat felt the bone crunch under from the impact his heart stopped dead from the blunt trauma. The man's body flew and Bulat sprang attacking the rest. His spear stabbed and slashed men in half from the overwhelming power of Incursio. Blocking with a sword swipe with his gauntlet Bulat turned at his new attacker to see the master at arms up close. He wore plate armor no helmet. His hair was white with a wrinkled face though Bulat was younger and had the advantage in a lot of ways. The old man was a warrior of great caliber. His sword clashed against Neuntote each clash vibrating through the battlefield.

"Save the true emperor you cunts! Move!" yelled the sergeant at arms after he rammed his head into Bulat's helmet, the men who had been coming to back him up retreated into the castle. Head bleeding the old man looked rather intimidating, but Bulat knew there wasn't a scarier old man than Gensin. So it went a useless act on him as Bulat got into a low stance ready to finish off the old warrior. Bulat charged swinging his spear down with all of Incursio's power. The old man swung with all his might and the two blades met. The sword gave and the old man yelled in pain armor shattering as the spear plunged into his shoulder. Spear stuck on him the old man fell before Bulat and the golden eyes of the armor stared into the old man's brown eyes as he stared defiantly at Bulat.

"A shame to waste your talents as a traitor" Bula'ts modified voice spoke from Incursio. The old man looked into the unfeeling glowing eyes and spoke.

"You are a fool young man, you choose to serve that bastard as his dog" he spat blood mixed with mucus at the ground glaring at Bulat.

"I bent the knee to the emperor and you betrayed him where is the honor there" Bulat said shaking his head at the waste of life. The old man looked confused before laughing and coughed up blood.

"What's sadder? A dog or a clueless servant killing without purpose" the old man sputtered before finally giving in to death. Bulat thought the words over before heading to the castle. The remaining defenders roared as they attacked Bulat with fanatic devotion. Yelling for this true emperor they kept dying for. Bulat shook his head and fought his way through the castle, until finally he was before the door of the royal apartments, which no doubt belonged to the late emperor. A well placed kick broke the reinforced doors off its hinges and a woman's yell was heard. Bulat entered calm no killing intent to be felt, eyes narrowed the young knight stared at the woman in a fine dress putting herself before his target on the bed. Word that his target had been poisoned as a failed assassination attempt was the reason he was here. He would not fail and kill the traitor who killed the former Emperor a man beloved by the people.

"You come here for him haven't you assassin did you not do enough already!" she demanded. She was quite the sight long brown hair and the greenest eyes Bulat had ever seen. If they had met in different circumstances Bulat would have considered himself smitten. As it were she was in the way of his target and finally putting an end to this senseless slaughter.

"I don't know who this man is but he killed the emperor, aiding him would not be in your best interest my lady. Step aside" Bulat said the modified voice through the helmet intimidating.

"Y-you do not scare me assassin daemon, I know he sent you to kill him to kill my boy" Bulat faltered slightly. Her boy? any mother would call their son a boy despite the age. The soldier raised his spear threateningly.

"Move aside I do not kill women" Bulat threatened.

"I will not god spare him! Please you do not know what you are doing he is innocent I killed him! I killed Joshua my love!" she cried tears in her eyes and Bulat admired her instantly. Willing to sacrifice herself for her son even a traitor.

"No did that evil man promised he would let him live if I did it! It broke my heart to kill him I loved Joshua he was not an emperor to me he was my lover!" she said her arms flailing. Bulat sighed and moved to disable her.

"No she went to the bed and hugged the body" Bulat sighed and pried her away as she screamed and begged. His eyes widen it really was a boy he was young too young. Brown hair and his face was flushed with a fever no doubt. He was out of it the poison had left him half dead it would seem.

"He's just a boy" Bulat muttered. The laughing old master at arms came to mind, he was sent to kill a boy but why? He turned confused addressing the woman.

"Who is this? Why were we sent to kill this boy!" demanded Bulat. She looked at him green eyes widening with disbelief.

"You don't know" she muttered. He was begging to dislike hearing that even if only twice now.

"Fool, he is my son and Joshua's son!" she said with fierce green eyes. Bulat felt everything go numb. All this death all this carnage over a boy.

"He's the emperor's bastard son" Bulat said. The woman looked away in shame but quickly looked back.

"Yes but he is my son my flesh, I will protect him no matter what" she said fiercely.

"Honest…wait you said" Bulat knew it all now. Honest had the emperor killed and his son, his true born son now sat the throne ripe to be controlled. Which meant the old bastard could hold much sway and already he was aware of the corruption. He was used the empire he trusted he fought for all these years betrayed him!

"Lies, they were all lies that bastard Honest! My honor my dignity all of it stained by the blood of the innocent" Bulat growled his hand on Neuntote tightening. No more as he looked at the boy he decided no more. He would not kill another man not anymore his hands were stained beyond belief he was a daemon now.

"Ready yourself, I will get you out of here. Do you know where we can go to be safe?" asked Bulat. The woman nodded.

"Aye I do…Joshua had this village a backwater not even on the Imperial maps he built a house there were we…we could be together. Without the world and it's troubles" she said her eyes closing with melancholy. Nodding he picked the up the boy who weighed like a feather.

"I will move him and come back for you where to?" she nodded.

"The north move to the north please…I have no choice but to trust you" she said. Bulat nodded.

"Don't worry I will get him out I promise…his name what is it?" Bulat asked.

"Tatsumi…his name is Tatsumi" she said with a gentle undertone. A small grin pulled at Bulat under his helmet.

"A fine name….alright al be back." Bulat sped through the halls and cleared a window before going to the Northen wall. Clearing the battlements again with dead men and also noticed imperial forces on the walls fighting or their lives. Landing on a roof top he sped away and stashed Tatsumi in an abandoned home.

"Wait here lad, al be returning with your mother soon" Bulat said gently brushing an armored finger over the boys bangs. Jumping out the window Bulat made the journey back ignoring the call of his comrades as he returned to the castle. Finding the hall to the royal apartments Bulat looked on in fear Liver walked out sword drawn with two men next to him.

"Bulat! The target isn't here have you found him? The men said they saw you leap over the walls" Liver asked. Bulat ignored the question.

"The woman…" he said. Liver sighed and made a motion with his head and she was dragged out by a third soldier her hands bound. Bulat let a sigh out.

"She won't tell me where the target is even with the threat of violence….reminds me of my wife" Liver said with respect at the woman's courage.

"You four go look for the target I need to speak with the General we can handle her" the men looked at Liver and the old general looked at Bulat. The expressionless helmet gave nothing away but he nodded and the men left on a fool's errand. Making sure they were out of ear shot Bulat spoke.

"Treason! Liver we have been lied to" Bulat said. Liver looked to the woman.

"What lies has she fed you son" he said with caution his hand tightening on his sword.

"No lies…the truth do you know the target?" Bulat said. "Were you ever given a physical description of him?" asked Bulat. Liver paused.

"Just a brown haired man with green eyes" Liver said. Bulat shook his head.

"He's a boy nothing more Liver not even old enough to not shit the bed" Bulat hissed. Liver paused.

"No…that's impossible Honest" Liver said.

"Is a corrupt bastard who forced me to kill Joshua" the woman cursed the Prime Ministers name. Liver felt anger fill him but he calmed down just as quickly.

"Where is the lad Bulat?" Liver asked and the woman panicked.

"Don't please!" she said to Bulat.

"Safe…and I'm leaving with her and the boy" Bulat said. Liver looked to the expressionless mask. Bulat deactivated the armor and looked into his mentor and father figure. Liver sighed looking to the other side of the hallway.

"You better hurry then" he said.

"Liver" Bulat began but the general ended any such talk.

"No, go…if things are as bad as you say I need to stay now more than ever. I need to save the empire I chose to serve and believe in. The one the emperor loved" Liver said.

"You two are the last few good men left in that empire" the woman spoke up. Liver used his hunting knife and cut her free of her bindings. Before grabbing the dress and started cutting it the woman blushed fighting him.

"W-what are you doing!?" she sputtered.

"You will only be a burden to Bullat with that long dress hold still woman" he muttered finishing his cut. The dress was cut about to her knees and she suddenly felt a lot freer movement.

"T-thank you" she blushed. Liver laughed shaking his head.

"Like my wife alright" he said. "Now go…contact me if you can Bulat use the name Robb I will know it's you" nodding Bulat left. Incursio activated the woman in his arms Bulat said goodbye to his oldest friend picked up the woman bridal style and left.

"Your name I never asked" Bulat said. She looked at Incursio's helmet and spoke.

"Abigelia Vaunt Bronn" she said and Bulat smiled.

"Abby" he said and she rolled her eyes. "If it pleases you…and you?"

"Bulat…Bulat Blackwall" his modified voice sounded. They were in silence the rest of the way as they retrieved Tatsumi and made their way north. Bulat had given one last look at the smoking city, thinking of how he was leaving it all behind.

Tatsumi

Countless years of training finally paid off! Tatsumi was almost bouncing on the balls of his feet, he finally made it! He finally made it into the Imperial Army. He thought he was going to be stuck as City Defense Force forever, but with the rebellion and the conflict up north recruits were needed and Tatsumi was moved up. He only wished he could find himself with Ieyaso and Sayo. After having been separated from a bandit raid as they traveled to the capitol Tatsumi had to join the defense all by himself. Sitting inside the barracks Tatsumi could think on his friend's location when his superior officer walked in. Captain Ogre, an older captain in white plate armor and cloak to signal his rank as a captain. Tatsumi stood at attention before him as he saw the eager young man the captain gave a lopsided grin.

"Always the proper soldier eh Blackwall?" the old captain had been tough but fair to Tatsumi. The older man had black hair and was missing an eye. He left the hole uncovered to intimidate which worked the first time Tatsumi was assigned under him. But behind that the captain was a decent enough guy who respected power and ability. Tatsumi had climbed so fast in the police that the captain had him on his personal squad. Tatsumi just smiled blushing in embarrassment rubbing the back of his head.

"Sorry sir, just doing my job" he said. The older captain laughed patting his shoulder roughly. Tatsumi was wearing a black tight fitting shirt. His white coat with the Imperial police logo on it was across his bunk, he wore grey pants tucked inside his almost knee high boots. Leaning on his bed bunk was his family's prized possession handed down to him by his father before he left. The sword Incursio one of the Imperial Arms created by the First Emperor. Most commonly they were called Teigu, these weapons were the anvil and hammer that forged the great empire long ago.

"Well I got good and bad news kid, here's the good. You got your first assignment" Ogre said. Tatsumi looked excited completely forgetting the bad.

"The bad you're playing security to a noble house, rich pricks wanted extra security and we are obliged" the captain grinned with a certain malice to it. Tatsumi was going to ask about it but the captain went on. "I know it ain't the most exciting of task kid, but if you get in good with these rich cunts you can get moved up" the captain assured. Tatsumi sighed he was hoping for a more exciting job than babysitting rich kids but duty was duty. The captain said his goodbyes and Tatsumi took his coat and Incursio in its sheath Tatsumi hung it on his back and left the barracks. He walked to the training grounds running into Seryu some one Tatsumi found both nice and off. He learned from his father how to look at people carefully how read them and evaluate people. So he was cautious of Seryu and this…thing that was in her something bad he could not put his finger on it for he had not seen it yet. She was another Teigu user, she had with her always her biological Teigu Koro. Though not its official name the little chibi pup looked harmless when in its dormant state. Teigu were weapons however and Tatsumi did not for a moment believe that thing had something powerful hidden under those cute black eyes.

"Tatsumi!" Seryu greeted him and Tatsumi smiled nodding to her.

"I heard of your promotion! Congratulations though I don't know why you wouldn't stay here to deliver justice instead" there it was whenever that word came out of her mouth her eyes had a subtle shift of darker intent. Though he could feel no killing intent to a certain extent, the implication of her justice was clear.

"Yeah thanks, but police work isn't for me I want to be military like my dad" Tatsumi said. His father Bulat never really talked much about his past the most he could recall he talked fondly over was his former master Gensin and, General Liver. People Tatsumi wished he could meet so he could hear more about his father's time as a soldier.

"I wish I could change your mind" Seryu pouted cutely and Tatsumi grinned shaking his head.

"Nope!" he said and Seryu laughed.

"Tatsumi always looking for a battlefield! I almost think you liked fighting" Seryu said shaking her head.

"It's not that! I just…like showing off I guess" he admitted. Seryu sighed rolling her eyes.

"Boys" she muttered and Tatsumi waved it off saying it was normal to be proud of ones skills.

"Well I guess I won't see you for a while" sighed Seryu.

"Yeah…I guess so well I need to report to my new care takers" waving his goodbye to Seryu Tatsumi left to the Police office. He found Captain Ogre with an older noble with grey hair and thin moustache.

"Blackwall! This are your charges Lord Marcus Oswald, and the little lady behind him Aria Oswald" Ogre introduced with the passion of a blank paper. He knew his captian held disdain of the nobility, the noble didn't seem bothered by it and Tatsumi saluted the Lord and the girl poking her blond head behind him. She looked at him with curious eyes. Tatsumi gave his usual smile making the girl laugh rather cutely, so after introductions Tatsumi began his guarding duties. The father had gone home with an escort and Tatsumi was part of the guard detail escorting the lady Aria as she shopped. Tatsumi smiled as the girl conversed with him.

"You have a Teigu right?" asked the girl looking at the sword across his back with big blue eyes. Tatsumi grinned excited to talk about his prized possession.

"Yeah my dad gave it to me before I left my village" Tatsumi said. The girl shifted her weight on her feet looking at Tatsumi.

"You aren't from the city then?" she asked Tatsumi shook his head.

"No I came from a village north of Capital small thing not even on the maps!" laughed Tatsumi scratching his head thinking of his home. He lived in the biggest house of the village and the villagers were practically family. He was also best friends with Ieyasu and Sayo. They had grown up together and Tatsumi really wished he could find his friends soon. "I had these two friends Ieyasu and Sayo, they left with me but we got separated. I hope we can find ourselves again" the girl gave a sublte change of her attitude.

"Oh" she said. He lifted a brow curious.

"What's up?" he asked. She shook her head.

"This girl…was she your girlfriend" she asked looking down fiddling with her fingers. Tatsumi blushed waving his hands.

"N-no! n-nothing like that" he denied. She looked at him and gave him a cheeky smile before turning with what seemed new found energy.

"Good! Now come on!" she said laughing at Tatsumis dumb founded face. They returned home at night the carriage was so packed with stuff Tatsumi had to ride outside with carriage driver. Tatsumi found the home warm and welcoming and with so many guard he was able to let his guard down. So when he was invited to dinner off duty he left Incursio in his room and joined the family for dinner. The mother was very nice a kind woman by the looks of it by the name of Amilia. Lord Oswald asked Tatsumi off his time as a city guard.

"I can't say it was exciting but I'm hoping it will change soon! I've only been in the capital for about a year now" Tatsumi told.

"My why is an Imperial Arms user in the CDF? Well lad tell you what you do your job right and I will have you move up to officer!" the older man offered and Tatsumi gasped. That was his dream, to be and officer and send money to his family and village that was in danger of starving. If it wasn't for his father who hunted Danger Beast they might not have survived as they did.

"Thank you so much! I can finally save the village like this!" Tatsumi enjoyed the meal before he started feeling a bit drowsy. A few more bites into his meal and he stopped his fork plopping onto the table. His vision was blurred and his body was fighting off something.

"Excuse me but I feel weak all of a sudden" the mother gave a concerned look.

"Are you alright Tatsumi?" she asked. Tatsumi could not keep eating something was wrong.

"Sorry but I think I need to rest I'm sorry" he apologized the woman offered a kind smile and Tatsumi stood and made his way quickly out. Doing so they didn't notice a missing steak knife. Tatsumi was able to make it to his room and locked the door behind him his mind was slipping so he grabbed the sheets stuffed as much as he could on his mouth and bit down of them. Eyes closed he jabbed the knife into his left arm. His cry was muffled and a bit of tears leaked. It worked for a bit he was jolted awake so ripped part of the sheets and wrapped the wound up. His father's lesson running a mile a minute gradually slowing down. Taking Incursio Tatsumie was about to leave the room when a wave of nausea hit him. The room span and he fell backwards. Darkness took him as he fell on the bed and it was ovcer.

He awoke hours later in the middle of the night and found himself still in his room. Sighing Tatsumi took Incursio and exited the room cautiously. Walking silently down the hallway turned a corner and looked out the window. Mouth slightly agape he stared, outside lifted into the air with what appeared to be wires he found the dreaded enemies of the empire. The organization that the CDF and Imperial government had been hunting for years now.

"Night Raid" muttered Tatsumi. Cursing he bolted the sound of shattering glass followed him but he ran ignoring it. Running outside to the backyard he found the guards already engaged by a girl with long black hair. "Akame" he remember the wanted posters, a dangerous individual and he was in no good condition to meet her head on. He ran into the trees by the back and came out to a small clearing to find Aria with one of the guards.

"Aria!" Tatsumi said he was confused and the parents drugged him but she was innocent in all this. She probably didn't know anything.

"Tatsumi!" she said the guard turned and saw him.

"You come one!" he said and Tatsumi made his way and they stood before the shed.

"I will take Lady Aria inside you guard out here understood!" he said.

"Okay, don't worry" turning Tatsumi caught Akame coming for him. He didn't even get to curse as she jumped over him and he felt her boot kick him on the back of his head as she attacked the guard. Tatsumi recovered quickly and ran to the fighting guard. The Katana with the red handle slashed the man's torso gutting him. Tatsumi roared bringing down Incursio on Akame who dodged to the side.

"You are not my target…don't interfere" she said stoically.

"You plan on killing this girl?" Tatsumi said and the girl nodded as if he had simply asked her the weather. Tatsumi gritted his teeth.

"Then I'm not going to let you!" bringing his sword high up Tatsumi summoned his Teigu's power. "INCURSIO!" Akame narrowed her eyes dangerously as the armor changed it's shape evolving to fit Tatsumi. Honeslty he hadn't used his Teigu sense joining the Imperial police. So when he felt the overwhelming power fill him Tatsumi felt like he could take on the entire world! The armor protecting him Tatsumi felt ready to defend Aria. Akame attacked and Tatsumi roard into battle favoring his right arm he punched kicked and avoided the dangerous sword that Tatsumi did not doubt was a Teigu. His cape swished as maneuvered. Keeping Aria to his back blocking the dangerous sword swipes whenever he could.

"Damn it!" bringing his arms up gauntlets blocking the horizontal slash meant to take his head. Tatsumi jumped back groaning his right arm was killing him and his movements where still sluggish from the drug. What am I thinking? Defending her? For all I know shit! Tatsumi stepped back raising his chin just barely missing her sword slitting his throat open. Akame just continued and Tatsumi cursed his bad physical shape caught up to him and he could no longer will Incursio to remain and the armor faded away into the sword. The sword was again on his back Akame went for his heart and Tatsumi pushed Aria back ready for the final blow. He didn't make it however when Akame was grabbed by the scruff of her collar pulled back by a buxom blond woman with cat ears.

"What the…you!" Tatsumi accused momenterally forgetting his situation.

"Imagine my surprise the generous boy I met last year made it as a soldier boy" winked the buxom woman. Tatsumi couldn't believe she had been a Night Raid member all along.

"So why are you protecting her? You're from the country aren't you?" she asked. Akame felt the tension leave and she sheathed her blade. Tatsumi however was still with his guard up. Incursio in its sword form gripped tightly.

"I don't know what her parents did, but I wont let you kill an innocent girl for her family's sin" Tatsumi declared.

"Leone" Akame said reaching out to the blond woman as she walked up to Tatsumi. The young man put himself before Aria but Leone walked passed them and went to the shed that Aria was going to use as a fallback position.

"Innocent huh?" Leone said and delivered a big furry punch to the metal doors blasting them off their hinges. Leone leaned on the broken frame now and let Tatsumi entered the shed and the smell hit him first before he noticed the mangled bodies.

"…no" he muttered.

"Sadist, disguised as good citizens they like picking people from the country as their targets" Leone said her blue eyes watching Tatsumi carefully.

"Tatsumi" that voice. Tatsumi couldn't believe this he turned and saw his old friend Ieyasu inside a cage. He was bloodied with weird patchches of infected skin over his exposed chest.

"Tatsumi! I knew I would see you again that girl…that blonde girl she turtored Sayo to death" tears escaped Ieyasu's eyes. As he did he pointed to the bodies on the ceiling and Tatsumi turned his head up to the back of the room. He found her her leg was severed and her body was naked with her vagina sown shut and her hair cut as well as multiple cuts and scars from whipping.

"S-Sayo" Tatsumi said. Reaching for her Ieyasu coughed blood up and fell down to his knees.

"D-damn" he said. With fury Tatsumi turned to Aria who was backing up a little with her arms raised in defense.

"T-Tatsumi I did no such thing…he's lying really" now Tatsumi could feel it. he was able to read her clearly now the sadistic bitch that did this to his friends.

"Incursio" he muttered and the armor enveloped Tatsumi as he walked forward to Aria. Akame looked to Leone asking silent permission to kill the girl. Leone shook her head she and Tatsumi appreciated that.

"In the name of the Empire, you are charged with murder" Tatsumi growled the voice coming from the armor sounding sinister.

Before the girl could bolt Tatsumi's gauntlet wrapped around her slender neck and he squeezed.

"Torture of civilinas, attempting the murder of an imperial solderi" his arm shook and the girls face was losing color fast as she clawed at the gauntlet helplessly.

"I sentence you to die…bitch" a loud crunch made Leone flinch a little as he snapped her small neck in his hand. He let the body fall the head slumping to the side at an awkward angle the broken bone no longer supporting the skull. Quickly Tatsumi returned into the shed and ripped the bars off the cage with Incursio's strength. He picked up Ieyasu and carried him outside.

"I need to take him to get help" he said desperately his friend had lost consciousness his breaths small and ragged.

"You can't" Akame said.

"You're going to stop me?" growled Tatsumi ready to fight for his last remaining friend.

"They won't believe you, a noble was killed chances are you probably will be killed instead" Akame said.

"Than help him!" Tatsumi pleaded he let Incursio disappear to see his teary green eyes. Leone sighed.

"Hell givem here!" Leone said and took Ieyasu.

"You should come with us" Akame said surprising Leone. "The empire is no place for you now" Tatsumi nearly said yes if only to ensure his friend was fine.

"No" he said. I have my pride as soldier, my father always told me to protect my pride and honor as a soldier.

"I can't, I'm a soldier and I have to protect my pride as one. So go I will say you got away before I could stop you" Leone sighed and nodded.

"Okay, don't say we didn't warn you" she said and they ran off Tatsumi left the scene to find the CDF.

The whole incident had been disaster Tatsumi had been detained and held responsible for the death of the noble family. Sitting in the CDF cells when the door opened. Looking up he was startled as he caught Incursio that was thrown at him. It was Captain Ogre, who gave him the sword and he stood smirking at him. Tatsumi had been expecting the gallows but if he got his weapon back something else must have happened.

"Walk with me" he said and Tatsumi nodded and walked out he followed him to the barracks where he found his back packed along with a set of clothes. Looking at the clothes it had a long coat with fur around the neck. "Well good news is I got some pull and kept you off the gallows" the captain said.

"I'm guessing there was a catch" Tatsumi muttered, his normal cheery disposition wasn't like it used to be at the moment. Right now he just wanted to know if Ieyasu was okay.

"Always, the bad is you'll wish they just hanged you" he motioned to the coat and it had a insignia he did not recognized.

"They are sending you up North to the front lines, to fight the Northen Tribes and you are being up under the Command of the craziest in the Empire. General Esdeath her entire army has the highest casualty rate of all the empire, combine that with having your nuts freeze off in that shit hole" Tatsumi came from there so the cold wouldn't end up being that bad really.

"I came from the North, guess I'm going back after only a year" Tatsumi said. Captain Ogre shrugged.

"No time say much kid a carriage outside is waiting for you. It's going to take you to the convoy outside the Northen Gate. You're part of the reinforcements sent there good luck, Blackwall" the captain nodded. Tatsumi didn't know what to say.

"Don't thank me kid, I was under the gun and this helps me get off easy. Fucking nobles" grunted the Ogre.

"Thanks captain… all the same but damn those people the butchered hundreds and no one was doing shit" Tatsumi said. The captain didn't say anything and simply patted his back telling him to move on. Tatsumi grabbed his stuff and left by the day's end he was on convoy north to war.

Ieyasu

A few months ago he had been at deaths door now he was an assassin, life sure knew how to fuck a man in the ass. Ieyasu had been taken in by Night Raid who healed him trained him and showed him the darkness of this god forskane empire. He lost her, he promised Tatsumi the village and her mother that he would protect her and now she was in an unmarked graved in a burned mansion. He was standing before another curropt son of a bitch in the capitol. Eyes narrowed Ieyasu looked at the man they called Zank the Beheader. Sliding his sword out Ieyasu looked at the ancient blade. Leone had found it raiding the mansion of the suck fucks that killed Sayo it was a Tiegu the family didn't know it but they possessed this weapon in their arms. The sword handle was the head of a purple head of what appeared to be a snake withs harp fangs. Two devil wings as the hand guard, and the long sword with a sharp edge the blade was double edge but simple with no intricate designs.

"Go on call it! I know you have a Teigu already boy"

Release me.

The sword spoke to him it was dark and whispering,

Kill

Lifting the high up Zank the beheader smiled with glee.

Destroy

The dark whispres wanted out and Ieyasu would not deny no longer.

RELEASE ME!

"ALASTOR!" roared Ieyasu swinging the sword down. The night sky had thundered. The dark clouds swirled and a dark lighting strike hit Ieyasu the dark Danger Beast in the sword was released. It was shaped like a man with black honrs and purple sickly skins. It smiled as the appration appered before Zank. He watched as what Ieyasu could describe as a daemon clasp its claws around his body lighting flashed again. Before him Ieyasu stood, a black skin tight suit was on his body a breast plate and shoulder pauldrons covered his chest and shoulders. Black gloves with tiped claws covered his hands. A dark purple belt around his waist with a skull with devil wings complemented the armor. Dark purple boots as well adorned his legs with armor plating. A helmet covered Ieyasu's head his eyes and mouth still visable. He as well had a set of dark purple daemon wings and tail.

"Sorry Akame, but I'm going to kill this son of a bitch!" growled Ieyasu. With a mental command a visor slid from the top of the helmet and a face guard slid from the helmet sides meeting at the middle. From the visor his eyes appeared to glow red. The tail swished excitedly and Ieyasu felt a blood lust the armor seem to instill in him. Snapping his hands to the side opening his hands dark purple electricity crackled around his fingers.

"Ten minutes….thats how long I need (3)" how long I have. Thought Ieyasu as he remembered the conversation with the boss.

The S Class Danger Beast in that sword is unlike any that existed. This was among the first Tiegus created according to the book. Inside lies a Danger Beast that looked oddly humanoid from the south and the foreign ruins of an ancient civilization. When the emperor sent to capture the beast he lost two hundred men to subjugate it. it was smart it commanded other Danger Beast and spoke the common tongue.

If you let it it will comsume you until you can master it. So the most I can give you is ten minutes Ieyasu. The fact that you have such a great affinity to this Tiegu could only mean it can sense your desire for vengeance.

He did want vengeance. He would destroy this empire! He would make sure no one ever suffered like this again! Fist raised Ieyasu rushed Zank claws opened for a fight thundered in the empty dark capital. Ieyasu would bring justice to this curropt world and he would never let anyone suffer a tragedy like his again!

So I came up with this idea and because I keep being stuck in the past (My Game of Thrones Story) so I decided to do this as in POST Industrial revolution apparently. So I'm doing an Akame Ga Kill fic. After the disappointment that was the anime I said let's try to do something cooler. I read the manga and I'm loving it! Well I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. This summer al be finishing my part one of my Game of Thrones story and this will get all my attention one I'm done. Also internet brownie points for anyone who can guess where I stole-I mean…borrowed the Tiegu from.

Teigu : Alastor

Full Name: Daemon Armor: Alastor

Type: Sword (Sealed) Armor (Released)

Faction: Revolutionary Army

Sub-Faction: Night Raid

Known Wielders: Ieyasu

Abilities: Full Body Armor, Flight, Command over electricity, sword projection (1)

Trump Card: Underworld Emperor (2)

(1)The wielder can summon as many Alastor swords as they want, however using this comes at the cost of giving the Danger Beast greater control of the wielders body increasing the chance of consuming the wielder.

(2)The Underworld Emperor releases the Danger Beast allowing the armor to morph into a more primal version of the armor. This form comes with a huge power boost allowing for the Sword Projection Skill to form Alastor swords that explode into electric energy on impact. Using the Trump card comes with the danger of the Dange Beast Consuming the wielder who doesn't have a strong will. Theoretically if the wielder can master the armor to wear it without having to set a time limit. The Underworld Emperor Form can be used for a total of an hour any more than that and the wielders body will be consumed regardless of the strength.

(3)The armor has a time limit that varies on the Wielder of the Tiegu. The sgronger the will the longer the armor can be active. The Danger Beast in the Sword is still alive and unlike most S Class Danger Beast it is humanoid in nature and can think, instead of simply acting on instinct. The Danger Beast as such will constantly try to tempt the wielder to use it and corrupt the wielder until the Danger Beast can consume it. The danger of this comes from this being one of the first Teigus to be made with the process not fully yet mastred the creators could not fully pacify the Danger Beast thus its great risk to its usre.
