Tatsumi and Kurome is in the armory. There are so many weapons and armors inside the armory. They can hear blacksmiths forging weapons and armors there.
"What do you want kids?" Asks the blacksmith.
"We are here to find a weapon." Answers Kurome.
"I prefer short sword. For me, it is more effective." Says Tatsumi when he looks at short swords. Later, Tatsumi looks at it and he finds what he wants. "Hey. I think that I will buy this." Says Tatsumi pointing at the short sword that he wants to buy.

"I see. You can have it. This sword is sharp and strong." Says the blacksmith.
"Then I will buy it." Says Tatsumi when he gives him a money.
"Thank you very much. I hope that we will meet again." Hopes the blacksmith.
After buying the short sword. Tatsumi and Kurome leaves the armory.
"So, do you have a plan?" Asks Kurome.
"I..." Tatsumi is thinking about the plan.
Tatsumi and Kurome is on the street and thinking for the plan. Later, they can see many people running away and screaming.
"What is going on?" Asks Tatsumi.
They see a big fat man with white skin, brown long spiky hair, black eyes, brown moustache and brown beard. He wears black and white armor. He grabs a giant axe. Now he is about to rob the money of couple.
"Excuse me Mister and Miss! I lost all of my money! Will you give me your money to help this poor man?" Asks the big fat man angrily.
"No! I won't!" Refuses the man and she protects the girl. "Run! Save yourself!" Orders the man to the girl.
Unfortunately, that man cuts both of them using his axe in one swing.
"Goddammit!" Tatsumi is surprised.
The fat man then takes money from dead man and woman and put the money inside his money bag. Then, he looks at people who are running away.
"Hey, Don't go! I need your money!" Begs the big fat man. Then, he looks at Tatsumi and Kurome and he comes closer to them.
"Ummm....Excuse me mister and miss." The big fat man acts nice.
Tatsumi and Kurome steps back and they are about to draw their sword.
"Don't be scared. I am here to ask you a money." The big fat man comes closer.
"S...sir...you have your money..." Tatsumi looks at his money bags hanging on his pants.
"What about you miss? This man isn't nice to me." Asks the big fat man to Kurome.
"You have a lot of money. Why don't you just use your own money?" Asks Kurome.
"Give me your money!" The big fat man becomes angry and he draws his giant axe.
Tatsumi and Kurome draw their sword and they are ready for combat.

Tatsumi rushes toward him and the big fat man swings his axe toward Tatsumi. Tatsumi then crouches to avoid his attacks and he swings his sword and he manages to cut his chest. However the fat man isn't going down that easily.
"You little...I'll kill you and your money will be mine!" The fat man becomes angry.

"Father! Mother!!" Young Tatsumi cried and he reached them. He hugged his dead father and mother.
In his house, YoungTatsumi sat on his chair listening to the conversation.
"Do you think that they were killed by danger beast?" Asked the villager.
"Danger beast? There is no way that the danger beast did this to them!" Answered the villager.
"I think that there was an assassin who killed his parent. Poor Tatsumi." Said another villager.
"Elder! I want to be a warrior!" Begged Young Tatsumi.
"You are too young to be a warrior!" The elder looked worried.
"No! I want to become a warrior! I want to be a hero just like my mother and my father!" Young Tatsumi was serious.
Young Tatsumi held a wooden sword and he was about to attack a man with wooden sword. A man knocked him back only with one strike and he fell down. Tatsumi cried in pain after that strike.

"Tatsumi. Your journey isn't over yet." Says her mother.
"Tatsumi that I know is a strong man who wants to be a hero." Encourages Ieyasu.

"Even money cannot buy a second chance." Says Tatsumi to fat man's dead body.
"Yeah. Money cannot bring back people who already dead. And you must stay alive Tatsumi." Says Kurome to Tatsumi.
"Don't worry. I will." Says Tatsumi.
Later, Taeko comes and see Tatsumi and Kurome and she doesn't look happy to see both of them.
"I told you to leave right?" Asks Taeko.
"T...Taeko? What are you doing here?" Asks Kurome.
"Give you the last warning to both of you! Leave!" Taeko is angry.
"No. I must save Kurome's friends and her big sister." Says Tatsumi.
Taeko then takes a small bottle of her medicine, she rubs her medicine on his chest and his wound healed.
"Thanks again..." Says Tatsumi.
"Now go!" Orders Taeko.
"I said no. I must save Kurome's friends and her big sister. I already told you." Says Tatsumi.
"Tatsumi!" Taeko is pissed and then she looks at the fat man's dead body. "D...Did...For real? Did you just killed him?" Taeko is shocked.
"Yes, we did." Answers Tatsumi
"That guy was greedy and crazy. He even killed innocent people just for money." Says Kurome.
"You're right. He was indeed greedy and crazy. Anyway, he was the Captain of Prime Minister Stars." Says Taeko.
"What?" Tatsumi is shocked.
"What? I've never heard of such a thing." Kurome is confused.
"A man that you killed just now was the Captain of Prime Minister Stars that formed by Prime Minister Honest and he formed this group secretly. That's why everyone doesn't know this organization but Everyone in Revolutionary Army knows." Says Taeko.
"I see. But now listen, Me and Kurome must save her friends and her big sister and take down all evil in this Empire. If you want to stop us, do what do you want but we will keep going." Says Tatsumi.
"Yes. By the way, thank you for showing me the Darkside of the Empire. That's why I must save my friends and my big sis and help Tatsumi in order to destroy all evil in this Empire. But please, don't stop us." Says Kurome.
After being healed by Taeko, Tatsumi can walk like normal. Tatsumi and Kurome then leave Taeko behind.
"Tatsumi! Kurome! I want to say something to both of you but not here." Says Taeko.
"Fufufu...This will be...interesting." Admitted Merraid. "Listen up. everyone. There will be a changing plan. Kurome won't be a target anymore." Said Merraid to everyone.
Hearing what Merraid said made Taeko relief.
"I want all of you to find and bring Kurome alive. She will come and join us." Ordered Merraid.
Taeko was shocked to hear what Merraid said.
"And what will you do to her? Don't tell me that you are about to...just don't do anything stupid!" Barbara became angry.
"And about that boy I want you to take him dead or alive. But I prefer dead. But right now I am confused." She continued. "Just...find Kurome and that man and bring Kurome here...and...do whatever you like to the boy." Ordered Merraid and she is about to having fun with the short blonde haired girl.
Tatsumi, Kurome, and Taeko are in the alley. Taeko explains Merraid's plan to them.
"WHAT?" Both Tatsumi and Kurome are shocked.
"Merraid wants you so bad since that you decided to defect." Explain Taeko.
"They want me alive but...what happened to Tatsumi?" Kurome is worried.
"At least the plan has been changed." Says Tatsumi with flat expression.
"They can't do that to Tatsumi!" Kurome is worried and she hugs Tatsumi.
"I didn't want this to! Look...urgh...You two must leave!" Suggests Taeko.
"No without Kurome's friends and her big sister." Tatsumi refuses.
"I won't leave them!" Kurome insists.
"Don't worry. They won't go anywhere." They hears old women's voice comes and they look at the old woman who are standing and watching them. She is well known as Barbara.
"L...Lady Barbara...I..." Taeko tries to explain.
"You don't have to explain everything. We will take Kurome and Tatsumi by force." Says Barbara
Then two maid girls and the old man come and surround them. The two maids are Cassandra and Gilberda while the old man is Daniel.
Taeko slowly looks at Tatsumi and Kurome with flat expression.
"I told you to leave but you waste that chance." Says Taeko.
