(Y/N) pov 10 years later:

A young man is seen walking on a path towards a village. He has one arm and his (H/L) (H/C) hair is blowing in the wind as he enters the village. People are seen whispering to each other as he passes them, but he pays them no mind. He soon enters a bar and slams the door open causing everything to go quiet.

Bartender: "Don't worry everybody. It's just our local merc coming back from a mission."

The whole bar cheers and they quickly return to their activities. The young man sits at the bar right in front of the bartender.

Bartender: "So kid how was the mission?"

(Y/N): "Honestly it was too easy. Could I get the usual please?"

Bartender: "Of course. Hey dear the kid wants the usual!"

Cook: "One moment sweetheart."

The Bartender starts to fill a mug with a beverage and hands it to him.

Bartender: "You know kid the village has done so much better ever since you arrived."

Soon (Y/N) is seen eating his meal as two imperial guards enter and stand behind him. (Y/N) looks over his shoulder and returns to his meal.

(Y/N): "What do you want you imperial swines?"

Guard 1: "By decree of the Emperor and the Prime Minister you are to come with us to the capital."

Guard 2: "It would be in your best interests to obey."

(Y/N) turns around and stands up staring down at them, but barely before speaking angrily at them.

(Y/N): "And if I don't?"

One guard wastes no time and draws his sword as (Y/N) places a hand on the handle of his expertly concealed dagger. The guard swings his sword, but all he hits is sand. He then feels a blade enter his back. He slowly looks over his shoulder to see (Y/N) had stabbed him. (Y/N) looks at him with a blank expression as he pulls his dagger out of the guard and stabs him in the temple killing him.

Guard 2: "S-s-stand down or I'll have to kill you!"

(Y/N) approaches with the dagger in hand and looks at him.

(Y/N): "Try it. I dare you."

The guard draws his sword and swings it as (Y/N) ducks and swipes his legs out from under him before stabbing him in the chest puncturing his heart killing the guard.

(Y/N): "Barkeep. One room please."

(Y/N) hands the bartender some money and receives a key. (Y/N) heads for the room as a hooded figure calls out to him.

Hood: "Excuse me, Could I ask for a moment of your time?"

(Y/N): "That depends if you have a job sure. If you're with the empire then back off."

Hood: "Actually it's a request."

(Y/N): "What do you need?"

Hood: "You took care of those guards incredibly well."

(Y/N) stands up.

(Y/N): "If you only wanted to talk about my fighting style, I don't care I'm leaving."

Hood: "I heard you're looking for two individuals? Is that correct?"

(Y/N) immediately shifts gears from being cold and emotionless, to panicked and desperate.

(Y/N): "If you have any information please share it with me. I've been looking high and low. Following every lead, and nothing. So please tell any information you have."

Hood: "I can take you to one of them for a price."

(Y/N): "Anything please. I'm so worried about them."

Hood: "Join me and my colleagues and you can see them."

(Y/N): "I swear to God if you hurt them I will burn you alive and kill you as slow and painful as possible!"

Hood: "No. No. Nothing like that. See is a part of my group known as Night Raid. We are a part of the rebellion and your skills are just what we're looking for. If you join us half your search will be over. What do you say?"

They hold out their hand and (Y/N) reluctantly shoke back.

(Y/N): "Deal. If I can help others while stopping the empire and continuing my search. Then I'll agree."

The next morning (Y/N) and the hooded figure head out for the headquarters of Night Raid.
