Akame ga Kill:Capital Punishment

Chapter 5: Mockingbird

It was morning in the Capital, people were waking up and goind to their works, walk, meeting, playing. But at the embassy where bloody massacre has happend, many Empire soldiers were on the embassy grounds, inspecting dead guards and removing corpes in body bags, cleaning the mess. Outside of the Embassy stood a man presumably in his 40s with big bush beard and short black hair, wearing a white overcoat with black tuxedo and black button up shirt and white tie. He also wears white dress pants and black combat boots. This man was Mr.X, ambassador of Kelpies embassy and member of the Smiths.

One of the soldiers approached him, probably to talk about the report.

Soldier 1:Sir! We confirmed that 43 Embassy guards were killed last night, with only one surviver being Miss Elen. Civilians were unharmed and it seemed that they were free to leave.

Mr.X:Has anyone seen this person?

Soldier 1:We asked the locals have they seen someone near the embassy, and someone said that they saw a man probably in his early 20s wearing mostly purple.

Mr.X:Have they seen his face feature?

Soldier 1:They say that he had black hair, purple eyes, pale skin with one side being burned and missing skin.

Mr.X widened his eyes, the person this soldier described to him is a same person he presumably killed with the rest of the Smiths 7 months ago. Mr.X closed his eyes.

Mr.X:"So. That little cunt is alive, eh? Guess he is looking for revenge, and destroying my embassy and nearly killing Elen was one part of his revenge. Now with embassy destroyed, i can no longer smuggle weapons into Kelpies Republic for the millitary to extinguish the resistance movement. I better report this to Oswald."

Mr.X:Thank you for your report. You are free.

Soldier 1:Sir!

Mr.X then turned towards the embassy, many soldiers and medics puting corpses in body bags and loading in a truck, probably for cremation. Mr.X then started walking, presumably to his mansion.

Mr.X:"I better send Oswald a telegram about the situation and our little friend."

In the Night Raids hideout, the group got summoned by Najenda to the meeting. Everyone got in to meeting room with Najenda sitting on her throne. With serious expression she addressed the group.

Najenda:This next target is the serial killer from the rumors. He appears randomly late at night and beheads his victims. There's no telling how many dozens he's killed already.

Tatsumi:But a third of them have been members of the guard, right? He must be strong.

Lubbock:No doubt about it, it's "Executioner Zanku".

Tatsuni:Who's that?

Mine:You don't know?

Sheele:Excuse me. I don't know either.

Mine:Sheele, i think it's that you just forgot.

Kerber:I too don't know who the bloody hell is this "Executioner Zanku" lad.

Mine:Executioner Zanku. He originally worked at the largest prison in the kingdom as the Executioner. Becouse of the Minister, he had a lot of people to execute. Day in and day out, over and over. They say he beheaded all these people pleading for their lives. After years of that, beheading became second nature to him.

Tatsumi:I don't blame him...

Mine:So, beheading for the jail wasn't enough for him and he took to the streets.

Bulat:As soon as the subjugation corps was organized, he disappeared, but I never tought he'd show up in the Capital.

Tatsumi hearing about this "Executioner" was eager to kill him.
