Hello Everyone, this is my first story of Akame Ga Kill. I am using a new OC character to fit in the story. This character's story will cross with Night Raid soon enough.

Year 1024

There is a young man with a one-handed sword, searching for souvenirs within the mountains. The young man has fare skin, a bit of a tan. He also had average neck length hair, the color of his hair was dark brown, golden eyes. He is only 17 years old. Flare wields a one-handed sword uses to fight off bandits and Danger Beasts. The clothes he wear are a red buttoned shirt, dark blue pants and brown boots. His name is Flare.

Flare possesses an Elemental-Type Imperial Arms called the Sun God Ashburning : Sunstrider! It is an Elemental-Type Imperial Arms that gives its user the power to control fire and ash. You can create any any type of attack you want with it, but the catch is that there is no original Trump Card, so you would have to make one up. Sunstrider was said to be as powerful and dangerous Demon's Extract.

It originated from an S-Class Danger Beast. A phoenix which lived inside of a Volcano, south from the Empire. There is only one phoenix in the world.

It is impossible to catch by normal people, but not impossible to Imperial Armed users. Legends say that almost at the end of its life, it hides and lays an egg inside of a volcano where no one could get it. Once the new phoenix is born, the old one dies. Its blood was used to create an Imperial Arms, and only those who drink the blood will gain Pyrokinesis.

You have to be strong-willed, body and mind to drink the blood. Those who are not strong-willed or do not reach the requirements will burn of thirst and die out. Those whom possess the Imperial Arm will gain a fiery mark of a bird on their back and their eyes will shine golden eyes. They can create, control, and into transform fire at will.

Flare had roamed through the woods within the mountains for personal training. He accidentally came across a Danger Beasts' home, where he had a group of giant dark brown skin, red-eyed mountain boars with gray manes going down their backs. They approached the young man looking to eat him.

"Come and get it you pigs." Flare quietly said as he faced the boars.

The boars grunted charged head first into their prey, Flare dodges the first boar. "Too slow." Says Flare who is easily dodging wild Boar. "Sorry guys, but I have a village to feed. Let's get this started." The boar howled began to dodge at full speed, Flare pulled out one of his sword and slashed one of the boars on the side causing it to crash into a rock and lose conscious.

The other two boars charged in at once and they had shared the same fate. The last boar stood scared and decided to tuck its tail and run. "Aw, I thought it wanted to fight," Flare turned and looked at all the boars that are down. Flare sighed. "Looks like these will do."

An hour later, Flare had left the mountains and back to his home village. He lived in a village called Ragako. A small, peaceful and village, which is located northeast from the Empire, many kilometers away. Ragako village is located near the snowy mountains. Everyone who lives in Ragako village are normal people such as men, women, children, orphans, elders and retired veterans. The number of people that live in Ragako estimate up to one hundred.

The first place that Flare went to was the orphanage. He walked and saw the door to the orphanage crack open slightly. Flare paused, as he someone through a cracked door. Flare narrowed his eyes a bit, trying to see who it was behind the door a from a few feet. He then saw something pink and it gave him a hint on who it was. Flare realized a girl was hiding behind the door, and he smiled. "Hmph,"

Flare waved to the girl hiding behind the door. "It's okay. It's just me."

The girl then gasped in relief as she opened the door. A girl had ran out of the orphanage and towards Flare. Bubbles of water had left her eyes as she ran. Flare bent a knee so he can hug the girl back as she ran towards him. The two had finally embraced, given a moment of hugging one another. She was girl with long pink hair, pink eyes and fair skin. She had a matching pink hat, pink coat and pink boots. Her name was Air.

"I'm so glad you're okay, Flare." Air said with bubbles of water forming in her eyes. She rested her hair

Flare responded by hugging Fal back. "I'm glad you're okay, too, Air."

Two more girls had approached Flare this time. A girl had shoulder length golden blonde hair, Amber eyes and fair skin. She had an orange coat with matching orange boots. The other girl had ran out the orphanage, as Air did. Her name was Fal.

"Flare, you made it!" Fal said, as she rushed and hugged Flare as well. She laughed as Flare had caught her

Flare held both Air and Fal within her arms. "I'm happy to see you, too, Fal."

The other girl had with neck length blue hair, aqua blue eyes and fair skin had carefully walked out the orphanage, so she won't fall. She also wore a blue jacket with rabbit ears attached to its hood matching her boots. Her name with Luna.

"Slow down, Fal. You might fall next time." Luna said, acting cautious.

"Luna. You wanna join in? It'll be fun." Flare insisted that Luna joined their group hug. Luna blushed a bit and nodded. She then walked to Flare and scooch'd in between Air and Fal. Now Flare's bear hug was filled with three pre-teens. He used his strength to lift the three girls off the ground, a few centimeters where their feet couldn't touch the ground. The girls gasped in surprise, then laughed.

A young woman with long blonde hair tied in one braid, sapphire blue eyes. She was dressed as a nun's uniform. She seemed to be in her early twenties. She had walked out of an orphanage with a broom, sweeping away dust bunnies out the building. Her name was Sister Lisa.

Sister Lisa gasped, as she saw Flare bear hugging and swinging Air, Fal and Luna around, left and right. Her face then turned red out of embarrassment. "F-Flare! W-what are you doing! You have to stop!" she yelled in a shy voice.

"Huh?" Flare suddenly stopped swinging as he heard another feminine voice. He turned his head towards the orphanage and saw Sister Lisa, with an embarrassment look on her face. "Oh, hey sis."

"You have to put the girls down now, before father sees what you're doing." Lisa said, while covering her face, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Oh? Okay..." Flare then gently set down the girls

"Aw, but I like it when Flare swing us around!" Fal pouted.

"Sorry, Fal. I wish I could do it longer." Flare apologized, then looked at Sister Lisa. 'Sister Lisa hasn't gotten over her nervous habit, yet.'

Sister Lisa is usually shy, except when it comes to children. The thing about her shyness is if she sees or hear anything inappropriate, she would easily get nervous and call Father Christopher, instantly. Women can become Nuns, and Nuns are not allowed to marry. Sister Lisa became a Nun at age fifteen. The reason she became a nun was because she didn't want to be harassed by men or be forced into marriage.

"You okay, sis?"

"Y-yes, I'm fine. T-thank you for asking!" Sister Lisa covered her face.

'No she's not...' Flare thought as he looked at her.

"S-so, Flare. H-how was y-your trip?" Sister Lisa's nervousness was starting to slowly fade away. She opened up one of her fingers to take a peak at Flare, while still covering her face.

"Yeah, tell us Flare. How was your trip?" Fal asked Flare as well.

"Well, I did find some souvenirs in the terrain. Also, I accidentally stumbled into a boar's in the woods." Flare answered.

"Oh wow! I wanna go out hunting like you, Flare. But, father says I'm too young to hunt..." Fal pouted again.

Flare chuckled and patted Fal's head filled with hair. "Aw, don't pout. When you're ready, I'll take you out hunting."

"Really?"

"That's a promise." Flare nodded.

Fal gasped in happiness. "Alright!" She threw some jabs at the air. "I'm gonna be able to hunt!"

"Hey Flare, were you able to find anything in the mountains?" Luna asked.

"Luna. It's been good. I found some shiny stones by the river and I thought you would want it." Flare took out a single round shiny blue stones from his pocket.

Luna gasped as she takes the stone. "Thank you so much!"

"Um, Flare? Is there anything for me?" Air asked.

Flare checked his pockets to and his bag to find nothing valuable. "Sorry, Air. I don't have anything else on me, right now. But I promise that next time, I'll find something that you'll like.

"Okay." Air replied. Then another question had hit her mind. "Flare, is it true you're going to the capital?" Air asked.

"Yeah. I'm thinking about going soon, to get money and do what I can for this place." Flare answered.

"In that case, Can I-"

"Good day to everyone." An elder man had appeared out of nowhere. He is a tall man in a black catholic suit, short clean gray hair, small batch of hair on his chin and wears dorky glasses. He is called Father Christopher.

"F-Father!" Sister Lisa's shyness quickly went away when she saw him.

"Father," Air, Fal and Luna greeted.

Father Christopher is a priest of a church and the head of an orphanage. He looks after the orphanage and church within the village. Everyone calls him either father, or the priest. Sometimes, Flare would just call him old man and get smacked for it. Father Christopher is the reason Ragako village has not been harassed by the Empire, and everyone in the village respects him.

"Hey, old man." Flare joked. He was soon met with a punch in the center of his head. "Ow!" He grunted. "What was-

"Call me Father! I've worked hard to earn and maintain that title!" Father Christopher co-medically yelled at him. "Eh-hem. Sorry about that." He then cleared his voice. "So how is everyone doing today?"

"Father Christopher. Flare just came back from his trip in the mountains, and now he says he's planning on going to the capital." Fal said.

"Oh?"

"Isn't that great?" Fal said with excitement.

"It must sound wonderful, though." Father Christopher smiled. Next thing they knew, the hourly bell on the bell tower had rung. Father Christopher checked the time and it was six o' Clock. The sun was setting. "It looks like it's almost supper time." He turned to Sister Lisa. "Sister Lisa. I think it's time that you take the girls in."

Sister Lisa lost track a bit. "Oh, right. Yes, Father!" She then took Air, Fal and Luna inside the orphanage.

Flare was about to follow the girls inside as well, until he was called by Father Christopher, himself.

"Flare. I want to speak to you in private."

Flare had followed Father Christopher into his office inside of a church. He locked the door behind him, so that no one could sneak in or eavesdrop.

"Now that we're here, I want to ask you something... Have you been using… THAT power?" Father Christopher asked.

"No. Ever since you told me to not to use that power, I've been under complete control." Flare said.

"Other than me and Sister Lisa... Does anyone else, such as Air, Fal or Luna know of your powers?"

"No, I don't think so. I never told or showed anyone. You told me not to use my powers in front of other people, because people are see me as a monster or a devil."

"That's correct. Now let me ask you another question." Father Christopher put his hands together.

"What is it?"

"You said you that you will be leaving the Empire, correct?

"Uh, yeah."

"Are you aware what's in the Empire?" Father Christopher's eyes had sharpened.

"Yes. That's where the Imperial Army is from, right?" asked Flare.

"No. I asked you, are you aware of what's IN the Empire?" the Priest asked him again.

"No, I don't know what actually goes on in there." Flare answered.

"Good. That's why I'm here to tell you. Listen, there's something you must know." Father Christopher was getting ready to spill a hard truth. "The Empire is no ordinary Empire. The place is filled with monsters, not the ones you fight from time to time, but humans."

"Sorry old man, but I don't think I follow you."

"Call me Father, or don't say anything at all!" Father Christopher comedically yelled again. He pressed his glasses back to his face, as they almost fell off. "What I mean is that there are people inside the capital are people who are complete monsters. They are gruesome, cruel, they do things to others for their own sake of entertainment. You can't trust anyone inside the Empire, unless the ones you come across is hoping to change it for the better."

"Wait, why is the Empire like that?" Flare asked.

Father Christopher sighed. "That's the hard part I want to tell you. The Empire is living through terror because of a man named is Honest. He is the current Prime Minister and the more reason the Empire is on the brink of self-destruction, and most of all..." The room was in silence for a moment. "Flare... this might be hard on you, you might get frustrated and all-"

"You can just say it." Flare was ready to hear the truth.

"Prime Minister Honest is your biological father." Christopher said. Flare's eyes widened.

Father Christopher puts his hand on Flare's shoulder. "Look. I know it sounds difficult to take in, but it's the truth..."

"So I'm his son, huh?" Flare asked with his eyes shadowed.

"Yes."

"I guess since he's evil... that make me his devil child since I have fire powers, right?" Flare started to take things the wrong way.

"No, that's not how it works."

"And how long have you known about this?" Flare asked.

"For a long time now."

"Why? Why did it have to be me?!" Flare lashed out, also knocking off the Priest's hand.

"I don't have the answers myself, I'm a Priest, not a Miracle Worker!"

"If he's my dad, why am I not with him then?!" Flare shouted.

"Because, he cares about no one but himself! I've known the man my entire life! I know his kind, he is evil down to the core. If he was somehow in trouble, he would murder those and pin the blame on someone innocent within a heartbeat. That's the type of guy he is!"

"If he's that evil, why did you take me in, his son?!" Flare shouted.

"Because you're nothing like him! You were small and innocent! You think he cares about his own flesh and blood? I took you in because I knew what they do to illegitimate children! If he found out you were his son, he would've fed you to the hungry dogs! I saved you and brought you here when you were a toddler." Father Christopher panted, then calmed down. "And plus, he's the one who has been pressing heavy taxes." He added before drinking a cup water.

"Where did you even get that water?!." Flare asked shocked.

"Back to where I was..." Father Christopher said while wiping his glasses. "That's not all. Right now there is a child emperor he is manipulating."

"A child emperor?" Flare asked in concern.

"Yes. He chose a child to become an emperor. The reason he picked a child is because he knows that most children can be somewhat of naïve, and they don't know what waits for them in the outside world. The Emperor is basically a puppet."

"Wait, a puppet could be an emperor?" Flare imagined a puppet with a crown sitting on a throne chair, ruling.

"N-no! The child Emperor is being used as a puppet by the Minister."

"Oh. So what do you want me to do about it?"

"If you can, it'll be best for everyone if you could stop the Minister."

"How? Are you asking me to kill the Minister?" Flare asked.

"ARE YOU KIDDING!?" The Priest said after comically punching Flare square in the head.

"What was that for?" Flare asked as he kept rubbing the top of his head.

"It's called acting careless, if someone hear you say that from inside the capital, even in a remark of a question, you will be beheaded!" Father Christopher yelled in a quieter voice. "Look, do what you must, but the job won't be easy. He has followers within the capital, who will defend him at all costs. Be careful. Never let your guard down."

"Alright."

"There's also another topic I want to bring up. Have you ever heard of Imperial Arms?"

"Not really..." Flare said honsetly.

"That fire power... you possess. It's not something an ordinary person carries. It's really an Imperial Arms."

Flare jumped up. "Wait, what?"

"Yes. There are up to 48 Imperial Arms in total. You currently have two Imperial Arms."

"Two Imperial Arms!?"

"Yes. In general, only one person can possess one Imperial Arm at a time. If a person try to break their limit, it will slowly destroy the body and they will die. Other than your flames, you possess another Imerial Arms. It is called..."

The Child of God : Stripeless. It is a Support-Type Imperial Arms, a golden crucifix that has the ability of infinite regeneration. It can regenerate any part of the body, healing and restoring all injuries including broken bones, punctured organs, an amputated eyeball, a severed spine, a demolished heart, amputated arms and legs, even a mushed brain, but it would take time to heal. As long as they are still clinging on to an ounce of life, they will recover.

To possess Stripeless, you need to be Pure of Heart and kind soul. The Imperial Arms will be absorbed through the user's body. If a person were sadistic or evil, it will not work. If a kind person were to turn cold-hearted, Stripeless would reject them. If the user were to remove Stripeless from his/her body, they would have to make up a password that no one knows. It is possible for a person to plant Stripeless into another person's body, so long as they are pure of heart.

When the user is severely injured, the Imperial Arms will activate automatically healing the user's body. This is the only exception when using two Imperial Arms. If the user were injured and while fighting with their second Imperial Arms, the healing process will take longer up to weeks of healing. If a person were to use the Imperial Arm with a dead organ, it will not work because Imperial Arms can't bring back the dead.

Father Christopher had finally explained what Stripeless does. "And that's what Stripeless does. As long as you have it, you'll be fine. I also came u with a password for you to remember. If you were to transfer your Imerial Arms to someone else, like in innocent dying child..."

"What is it?"

"First, you must cross your heart." Flare did the Cross my Heart sign hand signs. "Then you say, Cross My Heart and Hope to Die. Then the crucifix will merge into the host's body.

The Priest searched through a drawer and pulled out a book. "This book will tell you everything you need to know. I once was in the possession of a book, which had information about Imerial Arms. I copied the book down, Word from word, picture from picture. And I was right."

Flare took the book. "So, it's all in this book?"

"Yes. Study it."

"And another thing I should tell you. In the capital, there is a group of Assassins who roams the night calling themselves Night Raid."

"I think I've heard of them before, I thought it was some kind of Danger Beast. So, they just murder people?" Flare asked.

"Yes. But it's only certain people. It's not like people at random. I don't have the full details. Maybe they're doing it to cause war, or they're doing it to cause peace. Their objectives are unknown. If you encounter Night Raid, fight to live, if must kill so be it." said the Priest.

"Ok, I'll take your advice very seriously." Said Flare with a serious face.

"Another thing, do not use your Imperial Arms in public, they will either kill you on the spot or use you to bolster their military forces." Father Christopher had warned.

"Flare. I'm going to train you before you depart. Right now, the Empire is looking for as many Imperial Arm users as possible,"He placed his hands on Flare's shoulders once more. "I'm going to tell you a story about my youth."

"A story?"

"When I was young, my mother was killed shortly after I was born. When I was seven years old, I was sold to the capital by my abusive alcoholic father. The capital had at least two hundred children at the time, they made us participate in a cruel exams. We had to fight for our lives in order to survive in this cruel world. I was a crybaby at that time. The only reason I survived the exam was because an older girl had taken pity on me. I passed the exams that day," the priest sighed. "And then, that's when it all started."

"What?"

"My life had changed for the worst. I was trained to become an assassin for the Imperial Capital."

"An assassin? You killed people?" Flare questioned.

"Yes. The capital was an entirely different place. As a kid, I was brainwashed to believe that killing people whom would pose a threat to the capital was the best thing. For the next twenty years, I had taken the lives of men, women, elders, even children. One day, I was assigned to be the bodyguard of your father, Honest. We became close friends over time. Honest was a rich and thinner man in his youth. As I guarded him for fifteen years, he was an evil a wicked man. He committed heinous crimes as any other. Grand theft, raping women, killing innocent people. And that's when I knew that the Empire was corrupted. I started questioning myself... about the people that I've killed all these years. What was I really doing?"

"So you just hung up your gear and ran away?"

"Haha, but no. Once you join the Imperial Army, you're stuck their forever. If you leave the Empire without permission, you'll be branded as a traitor and will be hunted down." the Priest explained.

"I get it."

I wasn't allowed to retire from the life of being an assassin. So the best thing I did was fake my death," the Priest pressed his glasses closer to his eyes with his finger. "After that, I traveled around the country to atone for my sins. That's when I found this village. Shortly after settling down, I found god and started my life as a priest," the Priest reminisced about his past. "Flare. I'm telling you this now because you need to know about the capital. Even though you think you can take it head on, you can't. You need to be ready for this."

"Wait, I'm in the best shape I can be." Flare said.

"Sometimes strength, talent or determination alone isn't enough to survive in the capital. You're gonna need more than that, my son. I'm gonna do something I have never done with anyone else. And that is to teach you how to sense aura." the Priest said.

"Aura?"

"Not that key! QI. "Q.I." Father Christopher had spelled out. The distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person or an object. Everyone has aura, but not all has unlock them. You can sense aura to try and predict your enemy's movements and in enhance. For example "Father Christopher held up a finger. "The five senses Sight, Sound, Touch, Taste, and Smell. I never taught anyone this before..."

"Wait, why are you teaching me this now?" Flare asked.

"Because you're planning to go to the capital, and you need to know how to survive."

"I was a kid when I learned to sense aura. I learned it from an Imperial Monk, he was wise... I was his successor. He passed his teachings to me, when I find my successor, I'll pass my teachings to him or her." the Priest said.

"So, does that make you a Catholic or a Buddhist?" Flare asked.

"That's not the point!" Father Christopher yelled. "Look, I chose to train you, because out of everyone in the village, you have the most potential and the most possible chance of changing the Empire for the better."

Flare looked kinda confused.

"The question is... are you up for the job? Can I trust you?"

"Yes!" said Flare with a proud expression.

"Good. Your aura sensing training will start tomorrow. We're going to see Sister Lisa first thing in the morning." the Priest said while walking.

"What does Sister Lisa have to do with anything?" Flare asked.

"In case you don't know, Sister Lisa is a pro when using all five sense. We're both going to teach you."

The next day, Flare and Father Christopher walked around the village, looking for Sister Lisa. Villagers would greet both Flare and Father Christopher. They walked to a barn and found Sister Lisa feeding the pigs.

"Ah, there she is." Father Christopher had spotted Sister Lisa at a barn.

"Hey, Lisa!" Flare yelled getting her attention.

Father Christopher punched Flare in the head again, leaving a small bump. "Call her Sister Lisa! She's a nun! Don't just yell out Lisa!"

"Good morning Father, Flare." Sister Lisa greeted.

"Yes, yes. Good morning to you too." Father Christopher greeted.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Sister Lisa asked.

"Yes,there is. Flare is planning to leave for the capital. Before he leaves, I need you to help teach him how to use all 5 senses at once."

"You want to learn how to sense aura, is that it? Sister Lisa asked.

"Well, yeah you can say that." Flare said.

"Oh, that's easy! I think of it as switch button." Sister Lisa used a switch for an example.

"Wait, a switch button?" Flare asked.

"Yes. I tend to use all senses at once. Think of it as a switch and leave it on automatic. Pretend there are three buttons on top of the other. The upper button is the on switch. The lower button is the on switch. And the one in the middle is automatic." Sister Lisa explained how switches worked.

A light bulb appeared over his Flare's head. "Oh, I get it now."

*Timeskip*

After a month of training in sensing aura, Flare had finally finished his training. He stood at the village gate and was preparing to depart. Father Christopher, Sister Lisa, Air, Fal, Luna and other young orphan kids from the church had stood to send him off. is still 17 years old, was at the village gate getting ready to depart.

"You did a fine job. Now it's time to for you to head to the capital." Father Christopher said.

"Alright, I'll make sure I'll bring back more money than you could imagine." Flare chuckled.

"And while you're there, make sure you use protection with girls..." Father Christopher.

"F-Father!" Sister Lisa's face turned red as a tomato. Her nervous habit came back, as she was embarrassed of what she just heard. She covered her face.

"What? I was only joking." Father Christopher teased.

"Sure..." Flare thought sarcastically.

"Oh, there's one more thing." Sister gives Flare a Cross as a good luck charm. "It's a relic Cross. If you're ever in trouble, God will be there for you." Sister Lisa said.

"Thanks. It's time for me to get going." Flare said.

"Flare!" One of the girls called his name while running towards him.

"Are you really leaving... right now?" Air asked.

"Yes." Flare said.

"Please, I want to go with you!" Air yelled.

"Air! You can't!" Sister Lisa said.

"It's alright, Sister Lisa, I'll take care of it." Flare said. "I know you want to go, but it's too harsh out there for you. The world is a cruel place, and I know that no one has ever asked to be born." Flare said bending on one knee. "Look, I'm be back then less than a year, and I sure won't let anyone kill me. I promise." Flare said. "Have I ever lied to you?" Flare asked.

"N.. no." Air said depressed.

Flare then hugs her. "I promise I will be back, after I complete my mission, I'll come back for you." Flare openly blushed when she heard his words.

"Okay." Flare said.

"Now, I should be off. Until less than a year, so long." Flare said leaving.

"Give them hell, Flare!" Fal yelled.

"Fal, what your mouth!" Sister Lisa chanted.

"Becareful!" Luna yelled.

"Good luck. Flare." the Priest thought.

"Thanks, you guys. There's not a better family I could ask for." Flare thought while on his journey.

Author's Note : Hello everyone, this is my first story of Akame Ga Kiru.

I have decided to use an OC character in this story. I was inspired by One PIECE's Portgas D. Ace, AKA Firefist Ace. I tend to make Flare his own character different from Ace and any other Pyrokinetic user.

The Three girls named Air, Fal, and Luna are charaters in Akame Ga Kiru, they have a brief chapter 23.5 and briefly appeared on episode 24 during the celebration. I decided to give the girls bigger roles than what they had in the series.

I've watched the entire series of Akame Ga Kill and noticed their were no fire Elemental-Type Imperial Arm to match against Esdeath's ice-type Imperial Arm, so I created one. We all know that Ice and Fire are polar opposites. I also noticed they said there were 48 Imperial Arms in total, but they have not discovered all 48 of them.

The marking on Flare's back almost resembles the logo of Team Valor.
