In the outskirts of the Captial on top of a grassy mountain near the ocean...
Takashi and Tatsumi stood on top of this mountain, Sayo as well who was in the background in crutches, she was supposed to resting at the Night Raid Base which was situated between two mountain structures which covered the heavily reinforced brick base building from top to bottom.

But she wanted to say goodbye to Ieysau one last time... Tears filled her opal eyes as she watched Takashi place Ieysau's sword on top of his gravestone.
Takashi remembers Ieysau promise and clenched his fist.
*"We are all going to become the greatest heroes in the land! Everyone is going to know our names! I just hope we live on together! We will be together forever!"* A flashback Ieysau was seen in his mind.
"You didn't die for nothing, your promise will continue to live on through us," Takashi said as he stood up, but Takashi's destiny and his path was far different than Tatsumi's. He wasn't 'joining' the Night Raid just to avenge his fallen comrade. No. He was going do something for far greater. In order to stop the corruption of the Empire, he would destroy it from its core. He would sever the head from the snake and more. He wouldn't be a part of any faction, instead, he would make his own faction as a rogue assassin. But right now Takashi wanted to learn more about this world and the Empire, Night Raid was the perfect catalyst for this. They had all the information he needed, plus he could cultivate at a faster rate with Night Raid as they wield powerful Teigu.
In order to carry any Teigu(No matter the power-scale-) you needed to have a strong body mass to could sustain extreme conditions such as heavy lifting and exertion of one's aura. You needed to have skill on every kind of weaponry. Takashi figured that if trained and went on missions with Night Raid to battle tougher opponents he would thus cultivate and become more powerful than already his.
Takashi stands up after he placed down Ieysau's and looks up at the rainy grey sky. Tatsumi and Sayo also look up. All of their hair sways and flutters with the wind. They stood still and remorse one final time for Ieysau. But no more tears were shed, instead, anger and a new hope filled all three of their hearts. The all knew that they must live on for Ieysau and save their Village from the Empire.
"We are going to miss him," both say Sayo and Tatsumi as they go to hug Takashi, but he pushed them away, his dragon-flames were exploding out of Ryuyami at this very moment, even the fury of the rain didn't subdue the beastly flames of Ryuymai. He didn't want Sayo or Tatsumi to melt to death! Also, he didn't want his emotions to get in the way of his plans.
Sayo and Tatsumi, accepted and acknowledged that Takashi didn't want any kind of sympathy.
Sayo walks away with a limp, Takashi quickly places Ryuyami on his back and lifts up Sayo to help her walk, "You should be resting," He said as he held her up.
"I wanted to say my last goodbye," Sayo coughs, "I will never forgive those monsters for they did to me and Ieysau," She keeps on limping as Takashi holds her tight and takes her towards the Night Raid base which was about a five-minute walk. The rainfall slowly started to stop and sunrays started to appear, it was a beautiful sight for such a fucked up world. The future lies ahead.
In the Night Raid Base...
"Man that boy really did a number on ya," Leone is standing over Akame's sleeping body. She was still feeling the aftermath after fighting a rageful beast like Takashi. Akame would never forget her lose, it didn't anger her, rather it made her think about becoming more stronger so that she could defeat Takashi in a rematch, In fact Takashi ignited a flame in her in which she never knew, for the first time she felt some kind of emotion, but she didn't even know what it was. Akame grips her palms and gets up from her bed,
"Ah so you are finally awake," Leone says while crossing her muscular arms.
Akame doesn't say anything and picks up Murasame which was next to her in her bed! She was actually sleeping with her sword!
Akame walks out of her room and doesn't look back at Leone.
'I swear she is one strange girl, kind of reminds me of that guy she fought with last night, they are made for each other,' Leone though to herself with a sly smirk.
"Well! I guess there is no time to waste! Time to introduce our new members to everyone in our squad!" Leone says with a long over the head stretch and frisky growl as she clenched her fist in an upward motion. A new day begins.

[A/N: Next chapter will be the introduction of Night Raid. So I have a question to ask. My idea is to follow the anime and then cut-off at a certain part that deviated from the manga, so around the time the Jaeger Group is formed with Esdeath, anyways my question is should I follow the canon closely or not? Some say I following it too close but I am doing this so new readers can understand the story more. Anyway I plan to release more chapters I am just feeling kind of jaded about many things, as a writer, I sometimes take things too seriously and personal, but whatever. I will keep on writing no matter what.]
