akame ga kill (shadow of the empire)

part 24

4 months had passed no one in the Empire and no one from the Rebellion had seen Revan..... well that might be understating the fact anybody from the Empire that had seen him had been quickly killed by him. Throughout the four months Revan had dedicated himself to undermining everything he had helped build an imperial intelligence including his off the book projects. While also feeding intelligence to the revolutionary Army on strategic points to hit. Several times throughout his interactions a lot of the Rebellion wanted him to work with night raid he had declined saying it was better for him to work from the Shadows. But it was more than just that it was easier for him to keep his distance and not get caught up in his feelings for akame. The last thing he needed was to get compromised and lose focus. Revan ultimately  decide to stay in an old abandoned church a little bit outside of the empire. As Revan was waiting for a contact to deliver him a new Mission he got to very unexpected guests that showed up.

Najenda-  Revan long time no see

Leone- yo honey

Revan- how did you know where I was?

Najenda- before Lubbock died we were able to track you back to this location.

The air went very still and quiet for a long time Revan knew full well that Najenda had feelings for Lubbock but she kept it very quiet and to herself not saying a word to anyone. She was a commander she was supposed to keep track of her emotions but apparently this had hit her extremely hard.

Revan- something tells me this isn't a social call?

Najenda- no it's not I need you to perform your trump card on somebody.

Revan- you know there's a limit to how much I can do that?

Najenda- I wouldn't be here if I didn't think you could do it.

Revan- I suppose you have Lubbock's body am I right.

Najenda- no we don't.....its Mine she used up so much energy firing pumpkin to kill General budo. Tatsumi thinks that she's dead she's not dead but she is fading fast.

Revan- why isn't he here.

Najenda- Tatsumi needs to be focused on the mission. But Mine's part in this war is over.

Revan stayed silent for a very long time before he motioned with his hands to bring in mine body. Revan instructed the two women to lay her down on the alter. Grabbing the hilt of his Moonlight sword he placed it on top of Mine's body. She looked extremely banged-up and Revan could see that even though she wasn't completely dead she was fading. He had performed things like this before in the past but mostly on himself not on another person. Taking a deep breath and not knowing if this was going to work or not he began.

Revan internal thoughts- trump card activation healing light.

Mine's body began to Glow pure white every cut every bruise every scar disappeared from her body. Any damage that she had on the inside of her was also healing her energy she had given in her attack to kill General budo was also returning.As the light slowly faded Revan checked mine pulse.

Revan- she is alive but I think she's in a coma. It will be a while before she wakes up completely.

Leone- see I knew you could do it.

Najenda- mine on the verge of death she wasn't dead bringing back somebody from the dead might be a different process entirely.

Revan- your not kidding

Revan went to walk but barely made one step before he coughed up blood and his body begins to be racked with pain. He knew that the price for using his trump card was high he didn't realize though that it was going to be this high. If this was the cost of bringing back somebody near-death what would the cost be for bringing back somebody who was completely dead?
