"Oh such a pretty head you have!Haha!" Said a man with spiky blonde hair who ware black headpiece lefts up a civilian young schoolgirl by her neck, she starts kicking her legs wildly in the air. Suddenly a metallic eye opens on top of his head and starts glowing an emerald color, it was his imperial arms. He confused the woman and tricked her mind into thinking he was someone she loved.
"Papa is that you! I missed you so much! You have been gone for so long!" The schoolgirl quickly hugs the sinister looking stranger with tears streaming down her hair sapphire eyes as she embraces her 'father'. The stranger lifts up her head by violently pulling her hair to face him, there was a look of sheer fear on her face when she realized the wasn't her father.
"YES!!! GIVE ME THAT FACE!!! OH SUCH ECSTASY ITS GIVE ME!!! SEEING YOUR FINAL MOMENTS FLASH BEFORE YOUR EYES! YOUR PRETTY HEAD IS MINE!!!" The stranger thunders out at the top of his lungs as he quickly slashes off the schoolgirls head, spurts of blood splattered on his face as he holds up the schoolgirls bloody decapitated head in the air like it was a crown jewel. No one was around to hear the massacre, behind this horrifying and insane murderous stranger, was a row of headless bodies.
'I hope this enough to bring in Night Raid!Hehehehe! Hahaha! I finally need a collection of powerful heads to chop off!' The bulky man with headband Teigu walks away into the darkness of the alleyway of the Captial outskirts were he did most his killings. He would lure all of his victims by showing them the ones or objects most precious to them, it could someone who they had lost or even a chest filled with gold! His Teigu had the power that allowed him many mental abilities, including hearing the thoughts of others and even creating mental illusions. His was beheading many targets to attract the attention of Night Raid and it seems that his plan had finally come to fruition. Too bad for him, because he was about to battle someone he wished he never battled.
...
Takashi and Akame strike at night as usual. They head straight inside the central main area of The Capital. Most of the civilians were in their houses and afraid of Zanku the Beheader. They have all heard the news of the freakish executioner who had escaped prisoned and roamed freely in the Captial without anyone doing a damn thing. The Empire didn't even care about its own, especially the Prime Minister who saw everyone has disposable goods like they were nothing but dollar signs and cattle who he would milk and take their money. They were livestock. Nothing more. Nothing less.
"All of the civilians seem to afraid of Zanku. But what do you expect when a mass executioner losses his mind and is set free in a city full of humans to behead, the Empire doesn't even care about its own people," Akame clenched her fist and has a deadly look on her face. A look fearsome look that wanted to take down Zanku and silence him for taking so many lives without any reason. Just for mere pleasure.
"More the reason to kill this bastard quickly. I can already sense him nearby," Takashi sniffed the air around him with his Dragon-Sense powers he quickly found the bloody scent of Zanku. During his training with Bulat and Tatsumi, he had learned how to find someone's scent and take their every movement, back then he couldn't sense Ieysau because he was covered in other human blood and it was hard to distinguish the scent of Ieysau from the humans who were being tortured, but now Takashi had cultivated his Dragon-Sense every second of his life, even when he was sleeping, in fact, he was never awake, his guard was always up. Takashi started to think if there was some kind of Cultivation Ranks in the Akame Ga Kill world. Or was everything based on the power and might of one's affinities to their Teigu. Takashi glanced over at his katana Ryuyami, every time he used his Teigu his body would change and his aura would turn darker by the second. It was a beastly Teigu and he couldn't wait to master its full potential.
"I agree Takashi. Let's go find this fiend," Akame knew no one was nearby so she could use Murasame freely restrictions.
"That's the first time you agreed with me. What a shocker," Takashi grinned under his black mouth mask.(A/N: Like Sub-Zero metal mask, but in black and red color. Epic I know).
"Shut up," Akame said with a small smirk, she was now showing even more emotions than ever before, no member from Night Raid has ever made he get out of her 'Serious/deadly Zone'.
"Heh. Where is this Zanku guy anyways-" Suddenly Takashi's spots someone in the distance in the corner of an alleyway, the person was wearing village clothing that was similar that Tatsumi's clothe. Takashi bolts towards that person, he got a close look at who it was and was shocked to find out who it was.
'I-Ieysau... Is that really you?' He thought to himself with a shocked look on his face. Ieysau smiles and runs away, "Ha! Catch me if you can Takashi!" He happily shouts just like the old times when they trained together. Takashi runs after him to see if it really was his fallen comrade.
"Wait! Takashi!" Akame reaches out for him and tires to catch up to his speed, but she wasn't as fast as him. Even though she was faster than most of the assassin in Night Raid, there was no way she was at Takashi's level of speed.
As Takashi chases after his once dead friend in the distance Tatsumi was walking by himself. He had also done the same mission as Akame and Takashi but all by himself.
In front of him was someone who was very dear to him, "Mother! Is that you!" Tatsumi held back his tears and runs after his mother to give the biggest hug he could muster. Back in the village, she had died in front of his very eyes, the moment was so brutal and violent, that Tastumi tried to forget what happened on that very day. A fury of emotions entered his body as he chased after his mother which he loved with all of his heart. He missed her so much and now there she was right in front of him!
"Tatsumi my son. I have missed you so much!" Tatsumi's mother echoes as she runs into the dark alleyway.
On top of a clocktower Zanku stood up high and mighty, "So you are the first one? Hmm, I have never seen this one before? Must be a new member from Night Raid. Oh how delicious! I can see his wonderful hope and vigorous spirit in his youthful eyes!" Zanku jumps down from the clocktower and awaits for Tatsumi to meet him at the middle of the Captial. Around Zanku was a large open area kind of like a battle arena. There were large Empire Warrior stone statues encircling Zanku.
Tatsumi was the first to arrive at the 'spider-web' trap that Zanku had lore Tatsumi into.
"Mother! Is that really you!" Tatsumi starts crying and hugs his mother tightly, her long flowing brunette hair and emerald just like Tatsumi she a beautiful angelic young woman.
Zanku has a huge sick wide smile painted on his face as the shadows of the night blocked out his crazy eyes of pure insanity. Tatsumi looks up and sees that he is hugging Zanku the Beheader.
"Oh how touching! There is nothing better in this world than seeing one graving other their dead mother and once again rekindling their love once again when she rises from the ashes! Oh your face of shock is just so amazing! Such a wonderful head to CUT-OFF!!!" Zanku unhinges two razor-sharp daggers from the top of his metal gauntlets and shirt sleeves and slashes off Tatsmui's head.
"Wait! You are not my mother! You fucking sick bastard! What did you do with her!" Tatsumi thunders out as he barely blocks Zanku's slash strike.
*CLANK!* Tatsumi tries to hold back Zanku's strike but he was way more powerful than him. Tatsumi parries off his knight-sword and strikes again, but he used a special technique Bulat had thought him. He did an under-slash/ upper-slash attack right below Zanku. He caught him off guard since he strikes Zanku from behind. Suddenly Zanku quickly turns and blocks Tatsumi's attack without even looking!
"What the hell!? How is that even possible! You weren't even looking!" Tastumi slides back. 'It was like he just read my mind and figured out when I was going to attack next! He knew just how to counter it without even looking!' Tatsumi gritted his teeth. In a quick motion burst, Zanku strikes from behind Tatsumi who swiftly blocks the attack. Tatsumi then slashes at Zanku's neck with a secret slash skill he only used as a last resort, which was a double slash. Zanku grins a sick grin, "Gotcha!" In an instant, he blocks both of Tatsumi's sword slashes and does a quick slash of his own with his dual daggers!
"Huh?" Tatsumi looks down his chest was slashed four times!, "Gaaaah!" He slides back and grips his bloody chest. 'He just read my attack again! Fuck that hurts! I will make this bastard pay for tricking me and using my mother's body to get into my mind and mess with me!" He coughs at his blood and does a forceful charge slash with all of his might.
Zanku's Imperial Arms was activated into its second stage. Tatsumi was in serious trouble. Could he really stand against someone who had an Imperial Arms when he didn't even have one!? Things were not looking good for him.
