akame ga kill (shadow of the empire)

part 26

Three days had passed in such a short period of time Revan wished that he could have stretched out the moments that he shared with akame longer.Tatsumi looked like he was a little bit on edge but that was to be expected. Revan didn't know the events that would transpire with today's battle. Today's battle would be the conclusion of everything they had to capture the minister capture the emperor and defeat any resistance Fighters that the Empire threw at them. Najenda had already gone ahead to meet up with the Revolutionary army they were going to charge the front Gates of the capitol. Tatsumi and akame would be charging forward to try to capture the emperor and the minister. Revan and Leone would be providing backup to the first group. The four assassins left early in the morning Revan had decided to wear his black and dark gray robes even though they were incredibly tattered it worked for him there would be no mask to hide his face anymore. The three days had allowed Revan to regain most if not all of his strength but he could still feel that parts of him were gone forever because of his trump card. In the back of revans mind he hope they didn't have to use it again but he would if there was no other choice. As the four assassins made their way to the Imperial Palace the street seemed ominous empty. Revan looked up towards the palace what he saw froze his blood.

Revan- change of plan guys

Tatsumi- what?

Leone- what's up

Akame- what's wrong

Revan pointed towards the Imperial Palace the other three assassins looked there was a floating Airship just hidden slightly behind it.

Revan- it's the salvation the last piece of Imperial intelligence and the Imperial engineering Corps. If that thing starts opening fire could complicate things I've got to deal with it by myself.

Tatsumi- we're Team we've got to stick together.

Revan- you have to look at the bigger picture. Once I take care of that I'll meet up with the rest of you.

Tatsumi- but Revan

Leone put her arm on Tatsumi shoulder and motioned that they needed to go the two assassins ran leaving just Akame and Revan. The two looked into each other's eyes not needing to say anything each one making a promise without speaking telling each other to come back alive. Akame turned around and ran after the rest of the group. Revan quickly Ducks down some of the Alleyways and headed to a specific Shop and opened up the tunnels into the catacombs beneath the empire. He honestly didn't know what awaited him grabbing the hilt of his Moonlight sword immensely told himself that war had begun.

Back with the other members of night raid akame Leone and Tatsumi we're all focused on the mission each one having their own silent doubts but pushing it far out of their mind. As they start to approach the palace they ran into imperial guards. Tatsumi quickly activated incursio Leone had been seen recently that incursio seemed more Dragon like then actual armored she deduced that the armored was slowly starting to take over. But not wanting to be left out herself she activated her Imperial arms taking on her Beast form. Akame unsheathing her sword ran at Breakneck speeds towards the guards.

Guard 1- in the name of the emperor

Was all he was able to say before his throat was slit the guard died before his body even hit the ground. Leone jumped at two of the guards slowly beating them to death and getting quite a thrill out of it. Tatsumi with his own version of Breakneck speed activate incur seals power to give him a spear and jumped in between five of the guards moving his wrists extremely fast he turned the rest of them into mix meat.

Tatsumi- well I guess they know we're here.

Akame- your right

Leone- it's only going to get harder from here.
