"Oh man..." Wave muttered, releasing a light sigh as he messed with his tie. Like the rest of the Jaegers present, Wave was dressed in formal attire. "I knew this way going to happen. I just get so anxious when I'm in clothes like this." Finally getting his tie just right, Wave looked to see Kurome standing by herself several feet away. She was staring down at the floor with a dejected look on her face, appearing to be in deep thought. "She hasn't really been the same since our last mission. I guess general's dying hit her harder than I thought...especially since that bastard Honest blamed Kurome for her death." Wave watched as Kurome began to fidget slightly and grip the fabric of her blood red dress. "I guess I'll keep an eye on her...I don't need her doing something irrational because she's upset."

"You said it, I feel completely out of place wearing an outfit like this." Seryu said in a frustrated tone, as she gestured to the flowing green dress she was wearing. "I wish we didn't have to go to this stupid party." A short growl escaped Seryu's throat, as she tightly balled her metallic fists. "I'd much rather be out patrolling for those Night Raid assassins. They need to pay for their crimes...all of them."

"Please try and relax Seryu-san. We're here to unwind and enjoy ourselves." Run said with a smile, before shoving his hands into his pockets. "You look very good in that dress, I'm sure you'll get plenty of attention during the party."

"Thank you for the compliment Run, but I'm simply not in the mood for a party right now." Seryu said with a huff, as she tugged at the frills of her dress. "And if something comes up while I'm wearing this stupid thing, I won't be able to effectively dish out justice!"

"Would you all quite your whining!" A booming voice said from the other side of the room. Turning around, the Jaegers were surprised to see their new leader walk into the room. General Budo was a large, imposing man with short spikey blonde hair. He was very tall and muscular, which made him look slightly awkward in his formal attire, the fabric being strained by his muscles. "I don't want to be here anymore than you guys do! I was rushed here from my previous post after General Esdeath passed away...and as much as I dislike that bastard Honest I cannot disobey a direct order from him...also I couldn't sit around and let Esdeath's men go leaderless. I need to keep my eye on you guys and make sure you develop into the excellent soldiers Esdeath thought you could be."

"It seems that you held General Esdeath in high regards." Run said with a smile, walking up next to Budo, the general standing almost a head taller than him.

"I wouldn't say that..." Budo said, as he crossed his arms over his chest, straining the fabric of his suit coat even further. "We did have a mutual respect for each other...but we weren't friends or anything...I will however admit that I'm saddened to see that crazy bitch go...she was one hell of a soldier." Releasing a light sigh, Budo turned his back to his new men. "What Run said is true, we're here to have fun, so try and enjoy yourselves. But remember to remain vigilante, I don't want to see any slip ups or careless mistakes."

"So that place is our target?" Akame asked, adjusting her red scarf just as a cold wind blew in. "The home of Bolic, the religious leader's aide."

"That has is fucking huge..." Leone muttered in a frustrated tone, as she tightly balled her fists. "It was probably all financed illegally...the bastard."
