akame ga kill (shadow of the empire)

part 16

A week has passed since that day when the past had been revealed to both Akame and Revan. As far as Najenda could tell both of them were leaning on each other for emotional support. She still didn't know if she did the right thing by revealing the past but it didn't matter anymore what was done cannot be undone. Akame seem to be happier knowing the truth and so did Revan. But was there more to it than what they saw was there more to the minister picking Revan over Akame? And what part did esdeath have to play in this she was the boy's sister but yet she had never heard of him she didn't even know of his existence or did she? They had debrief Tatsumi when they rescued him and he had said everything as far as Najenda was concerned she hadn't pressed him perhaps it would be better if they had a one-on-one talk. She knew a little bit of esdeath's past but not all of it perhaps she revealed something to Tatsumi. But the talk would have to wait until just a little bit later for now there were rumors of new danger beasts going around the capitol killing people. The Jaegers were fighting them off but it was time that night right got involved as well. As Najenda thought to herself she ran into Chelsea the look in her eyes said that she wanted to ask her something.

Chelsea- boss can I ask something of you.

Najenda- speak your mind

Chelsea- Revan is considered a higher up of the empire right?

Najenda- yes what of it?

Chelsea- don't you think it's dangerous to keep him around? At this point in time his mental stability is extremely fragile he could turn either which way.

Najenda- I have thought about that and I believe that the risk is well worth it to keep him around. Plus that he has something worth protecting now something more important.

Chelsea- your talking about Akame

Najenda turn to walk away from her to go to the meeting room with the rest of night right.

Najenda-  this may surprise you Revan did join the Empire to protect akame and her sister how far do you think he'll be willing to go to protect those he considers his comrades and that includes you. He saved Sheele  for probably very selfish reasons but he did save her. but even she has said he has changed as a person. just keep that in mind before you jump to conclusions.

Chelsea had to admit that Najenda was right ultimately Revan did save a member of night raid at very great risk to himself. And he had sacrificed everything to join the Empire to follow somebody he had truly cared about. Even though the higher-ups in the Revolutionary Army wanted him dead Chelsea could see that he was trying to change maybe it was for Akame or maybe it was for his own salvation she didn't know. However the choice to become part of the Revolutionary Army was going to be a choice made for him he would either side with the Empire and be lost in their world forever or he would join the revolutionary Army and fight for a new world.

Leone- yo Chelsea you spacing out or what the boss is calling a meeting

Chelsea Snapback to reality realizing that Najenda had been calling her name she joined the rest of the night raid in the meeting room. Revan and akame had shown up first both of them seem to have calm down over what they had seen and the new information that they had learned. Akame seemed to be just as fearsome as ever Revan by contrast seem to be diagnosing the situation around him although not as intensely as it had been previously. Najenda had told everybody about the new danger beasts and how Tatsumi and Lubbock we're going to be going into the Wilderness to hunt them Mine and Sheele were going to be there back up if anything went to hell. Leone me and Revan we're going to be in a group that we're going to infiltrate the capitol apparently we had our own separate mission.

Najenda- while the Jeagers are busy with the new danger Beast this is a perfect opportunity to do some reconnaissance missions.

Mine- since nobody knew what Revan looked like I guess he's the perfect guy for the job and nobody's seen Chelsea or Leone before so this can work
