The Emperor’s Shiny Sceptre

When morning birds squawk at the window side-lines broke Misaki's sleep, she awakes and sees Akagi wasn't there at that moment.

Misaki slowly sits up, moan, rubbing her eyes, remove the blanket to see her foot, firmly recovered after a good night sleep, all thanks to Akagi's generosity. She knew despite being cynical and jaded, due to his dark and tragic childhood and lost of his family, Akagi, still has a rich, gentle side hiding beneath his cold, immoral exterior.

"Good morning, you're awake."

Akagi said, comes out from his kitchen, holding a plate of food,

"There, breakfast."

He dropped the dish near her bedside table,

"What's that?"

"Butter Roast, some sausage, bacon and omelette, tea's still boiling, a fresh food to start the day. When you were at sleep, I gone shopping at this morning, buying some groceries cook something to eat after I clean the whole kitchen, cockroaches running around when I start to clean."

"Did you do all this?"

Misaki inquired delightfully, seeing the splendid breakfast,

"No actually, Chef Minard helped me out, still it's not that horrible."

"Chef Minard?"

By Misaki's confused question, Akagi quoted in a snarky remark--

"Chef Minard, the English chef from "Make your food" steaming video channel, you know I can't cook,"

"Oh hehe, right,"

Misaki chuckled, finally realised that Akagi made the breakfast getting help from the Internet.

"Well I am starving."

Forgetting anything else Misaki picked up the plate, and start eating the breakfast knowing full well, Akagi can't cook, even he did, it will be still terrible.

"Hmmm, it's delicious."

With food in her mouth, Misaki claimed.

"Glad you like it,"

Akagi said then glance at white bottom-ups shirt Misaki is wearing, which was his.

"By the way how's my clothes fitting you? Unfortunately, I forgot purchasing yours when I was gone."

"No, it's little tight but all well fitted."

"Hmm, right."

Akagi nodded, lounging on the swivel chair across the bed, was fidgeting, gazing up above ceiling in a calm introspection.

"Hey!"

Misaki while in uncertain emotional state called Akagi after eating the breakfast,

Akagi down his gaze towards Misaki's as she told him in a genuine affectionate tone, eyes become tearful,

"Thank you for saving me."

Akagi's eyes widened with surprise and gladness, he sighed, smiling secretly, going into the kitchen,

"I get the tea."

When Akagi went to the kitchen a phone call rang, and it was Tomita Mitsumasa, giving some news to Akagi.

"Hello Mr. Mitsumasa have you successful in your mission retrieving the Artifact."

Akagi said on the phone, pouring the tea on the cups,

"Yes, Lord Shinsuke, we are on our way to you. Meanwhile I suggest you can 'talk' to your Helecter's pals. They're on their way to you."

"Eh?"

Akagi frowned seemly didn't happy about Helecter's current situation,

"Why? What I have to do with them?"

"Well, they wanted to even up the old score with you, that's why you agreed to come in."

"And I gave them my location."

"It was the only way to bring them in, know they are not good people Lord Shinsuke. I'm sure you can manage them."

"Fine."

Akagi dismissed the call bitterly, frowning, still feels resentful about heading against the heartless amoral bastards as Helecters.

"Here's your tea."

Akagi dropped the cup of tea that he made also takes one for himself,

"I will head out for a while, drink your tea, keep resting."

"Alright."

Misaki said, watching Akagi went out from the door.

Akagi waited the Helecters within his old house's square balcony,

After few minutes Juzou barged in, looking very discontented, like always, behind him there was Misaki's twin brother Mikoto, Akira Sogen/ the Crimson Killer and Asumi followed suit.

"Please allow me to introduce myself,"

Akagi called with a smooth and eloquent manner, grabbing Helecter's attention instantly as himself climbing down the stairs, introducing himself,

"I hope you've might heard of me; I am—"

"Hmph! Akagi fucking Shinsuke, who look like a fucking flamboyant transvestite with a flat-chest. We know you exactly who you are, what you did, what do you want with us in the future is the thing I want to know."

Before Akagi could finish Juzou outright rudely insulting him, using homoerotic comment as a woman since he has a slender, effeminate slightly androgynous physique.

Despite the cruel insult, Akagi didn't retaliated, instead sighed smiling as he knew he's a badass and have confidence to his internal virility.

"Humph,"

Akagi snorted, with a strong sense of pride, closed his eyes, then remove his Contact lens, once the eye open, a glowing red-light blaze,

"Since Juzou has a flaw, letting his rudeness in front of his master so I get straight to the point."

"What was that..."

Juzou snarled, glaring Akagi, in a murderous rage, acknowledge that glowing Red-eye belongs to Redtron, the one who manipulated then stab Helecters in the back.

"I said you shouldn't be mean to someone whose offered you a job, Juzu-boy."

"Alright I have enough of you little shit!"

"No Juzou wait!"

Regardless Mikoto's call, Juzou pounced at Akagi, while mid-air activates his Machete-blade Noryoku and strike down above Akagi's head,

*swash*

The metal clashed as Akagi raised his hand blocking Juzou's against his own long Blade Noryoku.

"Are you finish?"

Akagi asked gently, as a handsome suave man he didn't go for the offensive fight although he in everyway could.

"Urgh. You think you can play us like this? Like you did three years back!"

Juzou bellowed, withdrawn back, just the moment Akagi thought he finally settle down, Juzou again jump raising his large foot towards Akagi.

"Tck!"

Akagi clicked his tongue, stepped back letting Juzou's kick pass, within second Juzou Noryoku unleashed again, swinging towards Akagi's head, however he blocked again with the Claws-Noryoku emerged from his other hand, lodged Juzou's Machete Noryoku.

Before Juzou make his move, Akagi pulled Juzou's arms as he leans forward close to Akagi, he lunched a fierce kick right in Juzou's face.

"Araghh!!!"

The kick so strong which causes a bulky Mutant like Juzou toss across Helecter's men, tasting the dust as Akagi's boot meets his face.

Akagi Shinsuke just prove to everyone he maybe looks ladylike, campy, vain and maybe quite gorgeous but he's also incredibly effective at what he does, and quite powerful with an insane combat skill. Tougher, cooler, and more badass qualities hidden beneath his gentle, sophisticated aura.

"Fucking hell!!"

"Enough of your childishness Juzou."

Mikoto finally stepped in, stopped Juzou raging wild unnecessary, and asked Akagi directly,

"What do you want Redtro— I mean Akagi Shinsuke?"

"Your loyal support!"

Akagi said, raising his hand forward, and asked back a little riddle to Mikoto,

"Do you know what the real definition of an autocracy?"

"A Dictatorship?"

Mikoto replied, but still not sure what Akagi's real question behind it,

"That's a text-book definition. A system of government in where a single person or party, possesses supreme and absolute power, no. Imperium of Brittonia Empire, a new nation combined with few traits of autocratic, monarchy and totalitarian is now one of the largest Empire of the world, they build a flawed nation build by the blood of our sacrifice, the Mutants."

"What's your point? You strike me as a very cynical man with a distorted sense of humor."

"Huh, no but, Brittonia Empire and it's allies created errors and fear in the world, if we not want to destroy itself, we must replace it with a better one, more stable, more equal and more peaceful through the new world which I will create, but they won't allow this to be happen we must fight back, if they want war, we shall fearlessly crush THEM!"

Akagi continued, now in a tone of conviction and self-righteousness,

"Mitsumasa already told you I wanted you all to join us my ambition, and grant permanent freedom from the Imperium."

Akagi contains a sense of enrich elegant charisma that Helecters members couldn't help but like, get invested with his words even as he's wrapping them around his finger.

"What you mean Permanent freedom?"

"And how will achieve all of these?"

Both Sogen and Mikoto attentively inquired, seemly very interested,

"Free the long lost Japan from this rotten Brittonia's oppression and pathetic scrutiny, then a raise new nation of our own, then every Mutants will be free from discrimination, free to pursuit any given desires, the impossible future will come into reality until then just do as I command you, if you want see the bright future soon enough."

"Quite the speech! Your kind of a man who satires science and politics that have gotten too advanced."

Standing near in the nearby rooftop there was a man wearing a dark hooded robe said, soon jumped on the ground.

"Nakajo Tomotaki you are here early."

Akagi said, looking at Tomotaki walking towards the them.

"Why your little minions haven't reach in yet?"

"No."

"Hey who's this clown?"

Juzou questioned Akagi, referring the darkly Tomotaki donned a shady robe.

"I will explain everything now you have to stay put and follow my command once Tomita arrived.

It might confuse for Helecters but Akagi arranged with Tomotaki to get himself into Royal Mutants Society.

As a RMS member Tomotaki didn't satisfied the position he has on Royal Society, he was seeking to become a Lord since TYZ slot is currently empty nevertheless the current 19th Mutant Empress Eliza wouldn't agree however there was Akagi promised to give more that he already has, thus a deal was struck: Tomotaki will show the real passage to RMS's capital Caledonia, help him claim power that Akagi desire.

"I'm sorry I am late Lord Shinsuke!"

"You do!"

Finally, Tomita arrived in the spot, along with the Imperial former employees, Hiroshi and Seiko,

"Now you will tell what the fuck is going on here!?"

Juzou demanded, gets frustrated of these,

"I will but first Mikoto-kun?"

Akagi called Mikoto in a gentle manner, once he turned, Akagi said,

"Go upstairs. There is someone you need to see."

"Who?"

"Go and see it for yourself."

Mikoto wasn't aware who the person was, but he gone to see nonetheless.

After Mitsumasa arrived handing over a box to Akagi, he finally revealed to everyone about his true plans,

"Ladies and Gentlemen, for ages Mutants have been always diverse group, more divided than humans, and because of this diversity they never won a war against Humans, still losing forever there is no single unified nation only ruled by Mutants. However, it is not entirely true there is a cult called Royal Mutants Society ruling the world behind the shadows for centuries. RMS is still one of the largest secretive association. Tomita Mitsumasa might know about more about the Society but we can be part of this Society and use their immense resources to wage war against Brittonia."

"Wait a minute?"

Sogen suddenly interrupted, confusing about something,

"RMS is a very high-tech, highly organised, worldwide cult where each member devotes their lives to obeying the Command of the Mutant Emperor and doing His/her wish. How can bunch of regular guys like us going get the help and undoubted support from the legendary gigantic organisation?"

"Glad you ask the that,"

Akagi smirked, expecting someone ask the question, he signal Tomita to open the briefcase and he obliged, walked forward, opening it in front of everyone.

"Because I have these,"

When case open, The Platinum coated Sceptre glossed over the area, a blue crystal orb placed on the top.

"The Platinum Sceptre, RMS's Imperial Sceptre,"

Sogen said, gazing the paragon of shining, the Sceptre,

"But how could help us? Only the Mutant Emperor allowed to use the Sceptre that holds unimaginable mystical powers."

"If the mythos is right, I will be able to use this Holy Sceptre."

"How?"

Akagi holds the Sceptre in the hand, slightly rolled it's over the base, then a small hole becomes visible above the handle.

While holding the Sceptre, Akagi slightly transformed his finger into talon-shape blade then made cut on his own fingertip, then draw few drops of his blood.

When Akagi's blood dropped into Sceptre's compartment, it awakens itself, blue orb turned red,

"The Sceptre is now summoned, my blood was the key activating Sceptre's power,"

"How did you do that?"

Juzou inquired, went utterly speechless like rest of the group.

Seeing this glorious sight Akagi grinned and comments,

"Because I am the real Mutant Emperor, the true heir to Maha Throne of Royal Mutants Society!"
