Conflicting Ideals

3RD PERSON POV

Esdeath: Y/N what is this? You killed Wild Hunt in cold blood?

Y/N: They dishonored Bols's memories by raping and killing his family on top of his own grave.

Esdeath: You killed executives, government officials, many rich nobles, and thrown the entire empire into a disarray. Even my Jaegars?

Y/N: Their eyes have opened to the corruption of the empire. Their acts of shame, violence and debauchery upon the civilians. The injustice within and the killings of innocent people.

Esdeath: It is what it is. The strong crushes the weak. They were simply weaker.

Y/N: Like how Bols was? His family? All those people out there wanting to make a living?








Esdeath: Yes.

Y/N: You're sick in the head.

She was silent, processing Y/N's words as he calmly spoke back to her.

Y/N: Everyone starts of weak. It's not like everyone follows your damn path. Many people wish to be farmers. To be soldiers. To be workers, officers, salesmen. Everyone follows their own path. The path I follow however is nothing like yours.

*RUMBLE*

She was surprised as her ice projectiles stop just inches from Y/N and they fall harmlessly to the ground.





Y/N: Why do you even love me in the first place?

Esdeath: Wha-

Y/N: Why?

Esdeath: You're the strongest man I've ever met in the Empire.

Y/N: And?

Esdeath: You enjoy the thrill of a fight just like me! You're cute....

Y/N: And?

She quickly runs out after a few ones as Y/N sighs.




Y/N: Have you ever loved your friends? Our own family?

Esdeath: My family died, but in the end, they died because they were weak.

Y/N: I see.......

Esdeath felt a bit sad, seeing Y/N's utterly disappointed face as he turns away.

Y/N: You can't just force your feelings onto me.  Like I said, a relationship is built on experience, mutual trust and connection. Me and Pyrrha had known each other for so long. We were always there for each other. There to comfort each other. Fight alongside each other. Train. Seek refuge, she was the friend I fell in love with. The woman I cherish. Someone I can share my honest and true feeling with. A friend. An equal. Something you never experienced before, and something you refused to let happen. After all, you lack the empathy and emotional understanding to even be in a genuine relationship anyway.

Esdeath: But.....I want to. If you'd just give me a chance-

Y/N: I was a civilian before you know. A common folk. Someone who just wants to live their life out. Someone who just wants to be happy with what he has. I only grew strong not because I wanted to stand above all others, but because I wanted the power to be free. To follow my own path. To do what's right for myself and others.

Esdeath:..........

Y/N: Everyone has the right to live. The right to be free and live their lives to the fullest. To live a happy life without war or violence, and to live without fear and worry. I know you though. You don't want that do you?

Esdeath:........

Y/N: I heard your conversations before. Not concerning yourself with the weak. Livestock. Swine. Disposable. It sickens me the empire reeks of others like you.

He sheathes his blade as he turns around to walk away.



Y/N: You're not going to change. I tried to give you chances but you're too far gone anyways. I pray that something changes because they next time we meet, you're my enemy. And I won't be holding back anymore. Good luck.

*WHOOSH*

Later

Y/N: I think I broke her.

Mine: Well sucks to be her.

Sheele: Y/N what are they.....doing here?

Seryu: We are here to help the Revolution!





Najenda: I see you managed to convince the Jaegars to join us.

Seryu: Sorry for uh.......shooting you.

Sheele: It's ok.

*NOM*

Kurome: Gimme.

Akame: It's mine.

Kurome: It's OURS.

The Jaegars all got along with Night Raid though with some tension as everyone celebrated the success of what has happened.


Najenda: 'With 4 more Teigu wielders by our side we can now definitely win!' The revolutionary is planning a mass assault on the empire to end the war.

Y/N: We have the numbers.

Wave: We have Esdeath to worry about.

Y/N: I can take care of her alone.

Najenda: Alone?! You can't possibly be-

The ground rumbles beneath Y/N as his fists were covered in a white like barrier.

Y/N: I never used this before.

Akame: You hid.........

Y/N: I played my cards right. It's about time I revealed them.








Najenda: 'He said something about tremors........destructive and powerful like Esdeath herself.'
