akame ga kill (shadow of the empire)

part 9

Imperial capital the arena

It was the day of the great tournament that would see an imperial arms given to a Victor and a reward money. Rather than compete himself Revan decided that it was in his best interest to Simply observe. The common masses would get an interesting show and esdeath would be able to scout for a new member of the Jaegers since by all honesty he only did it part time. Sheele looked on with him he had a feeling she was looking for her friends. Night raid would show up Revan was betting on it but who from the group would show up?

Sheele- the fight seemed to be going quite well.

Revan- this is nothing more than posturing you and me could enter the tournament and win everything single-handedly based on our skills alone.

Sheele- that true

Revan- most of the Jaegers are here including esdeath herself. We might as well observe who they pick to join their group.

Sheele- and the person they're going to pick to wheeled my Imperial arms.

Revan- you need to stop being mad about that I told you there isn't much I can do. At least for right now.

Revan had said that in a joking kind of way but Sheele knew that Revan was working hard to try to figure out a way to get her back to night right without everyone else in the Jaegers noticing her absence and to get back her Imperial arms. Just then a very familiar face wearing a brown jacket walked into the arena.

Revan- oh God what does he think he's doing?

Sheele- Tatsumi? Is that really him?

It really was him to both Revan and Sheele surprise. Revan had banked on a member of night raid showing up but never in a million years did he guessed that Tatsumi would show up. There was something different about him. Revan identify the sword on his back it was incursio.

Revans internal thoughts- so he finally got his hand on an imperial arms so he's one of us now.

As they both watched Tatsumi fight Revan began to get a stinking suspicion that this situation was going to go from bad to worse in a very weird kind of way. Just then Tatsumi beat his opponent with very little to no effort on his part. Revan surmised that he had gone through extreme training to get used to using incursio. Esdeath was making her way out taking garage late the winner the look that she had in her eyes worried Revan he hadn't seen her wear that expression ever. Just then she pulled out a leash and a collar and strapped around tatsumi's neck she began to drag him away.

Sheele- WHAT IS SHE DOING?

Revan- I don't know apart from me and you no one else knows of tatsumi's connection to night raid. So this doesn't make any sense I'll find out what's going on.

Sheele out of the corner of her eye could see other members of night raid. She felt a warmth in her heart when she looked and saw Mine and Leone they were still alive and they were still safe. They had a look of panic on their face just like she did. She wanted to go up to them to tell them that everything would be fine that they had an ally in the Empire. But doing that would blow her cover and would blow revans plans wide open.

Revan- go back to the catacombs underneath Palace I'll contact you there when I have a clear idea of what's going on.

Sheele- what about Tatsumi?

Revan- there might be something more at work that we don't know about. I'll have to get a general idea of everything that is going on and I'll let you know when I know.

Time skip

Revan thought to himself life is truly Stranger Than Fiction. Apparently esdeath fell in love with Tatsumi. He really couldn't help but laugh that his sister had such odd tastes Tatsumi was nothing like her and more to the point he was a member of night raid. The rest of the Jaegers seemed taken aback by her sudden Proclamation that Tatsumi was her lover. Revan decide not to be in attendance but instead listened from the other side of the doorway he wanted nothing to do with this. But he also looked at it that he had no choice he had to take part in all of the Jaegers missions from here on out to make sure Tatsumi didn't get himself killed or discovered. Revan decided that it would be a good idea to do is private meditation sessions to clear his mind the focus in on a memory that seem to be eluding him. Unbeknownst to him though he was being followed
