Without Akame in sight, you took on Kurome to give the others a chance to escape.

"I knew my sister was a coward to leave you to take me on. I commend you for attempting to even fight me. You don't stand a chance."

Kurome had seen you fight before. If you had been at you 100%, there was no doubt in her mind that the two of you would be evenly matched but you were wounded. You had taken a hit to protect Tatsumi.

"She's not a coward!"

Kurome laughs as you charge towards her at half your speed. She blocks your katana with hers, not even moving an inch from the impact. You don't let your panic show but Kurome is still able to tell you were panicking.

"No? Then why isn't she here to fight me? It sounds to me like she's a coward. It's okay, you don't have to keep defending her. You're about to die anyways."

You couldn't die. The others were still close enough for Kurome to catch up to them. With a deep breath, you mumbled a few words. Lighting starts to form on your sword.

"And I'm taking you out with me!"

You yell before a strike a lighting comes down the sky to hit your katana. The two of you are knocked back from the strike. Kurome's reaction had only been quick enough to not get hit directly with the lighting. You had taken the brunt of the strike, barely clinging on to your life by a miracle.

The rest of the Jaegers arrive to the scene soon after the strike. They're quick to help Kurome while Esdeath debates what to do with you.

"Lets bring her back with us. Maybe we can get some answers from her before she dies."

"I'm sorry, boss. She didn't give us a choice. She told us to run while she distracted Kurome."

Najenda took in the condition that the rest of the team was on. They were all seriously injured and wouldn't be able to fight anytime soon. You had always told her that the team would come first but she didn't think that you would actually follow through with your words.

"Head inside. Akame should be arriving soon so we can help you with your wounds..."

She's cut off when she sees the single strike of lighting. While your trump card wouldn't kill you, it would seriously injure you. You've only ever used it when you were desperate.

"Boss, I'm sorry. We can go back..."

Najenda shakes her head, stopping Leone from talking any further.

"No. You're all injured. I can't lose anyone else. Rest up. We'll talk later."

She takes off, leaving them alone. They wanted to go after her but they knew she wouldn't be happy. With no other choice, they return to headquarters to wait for news about you.

Najenda isn't sure how to feel when she's only able to spot the burnt mark that the lighting strike left behind. There was no trace of you or the rest of the Jaegers so she took it as a sign that they had taken you with them. That meant that you were still alive and they had taken you in for questioning.

Esdeath lightly slaps your cheek, waking you up.

"Come on, wake up. You've rested enough. I need you to answer some of my question."

You closed your eyes as a light was pointed straight to your face, effectively blinding you. You weren't sure who was in the room other than Esdeath. You were exhausted and all you wanted to do was sleep.

"What?"

"Just a couple of questions and we'll leave you alone. I promise. Why wasn't Akame with you?" You let out a sigh as you closed your eyes. Your ears were ringing so you had only listened to half of what she said. Not wanting for you to rest, Esdeath grabbed your attention again by lightly slapping your cheek. "Come on. Don't you want to live? We can help you. Just answer our questions and the doctor will help you. You don't look so well. I give you a day before you pass. Don't you want to return to your wife? I'm sure that she's worried sick."

You smiled at the mention of your wife. You could already imagine how pissed off she was for what you had done. The ringing had subsided by now so you had been able to hear her clearly.

"Let me die then."

Esdeath sighs, hating that they had wasted their time on you. She should've known that you would be just as stubborn as Najenda.

"Even when she's not here, she's still a pain in my ass. No wonder why she married you. The two of you are similar."

She turns off the blinding light, finally letting you see that you were alone in the room with her.

"Have you ever been in love, Esdeath?"

Curious about where you were going with your question, Esdeath decides to indulge you.

"I have. Why do you ask?"

"You would do anything for them, correct?"

"I suppose so."

"So would I. I would rather die than tell you anything, Esdeath."

Esdeath smiles as she looks down at you. She places a hand on your chest, feeling the slow beating of your heart.

"It's a shame. I'm sure Najenda is going to be devastated."

With a precise strike, her ice goes through your heart. Blood spills out of your mouth as you smile at her.

"She's st..rong. She doesn't need....me."

X

Esdeath throws your katana at Najenda's feet.

"You can keep your wife's precious imperial arm. No one is using it anymore."

Akame wraps her arm around her waist, stopping her from attacking Esdeath.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you for this Esdeath!"

Esdeath laughs as she sees Najenda's tears spill. She had only come to deliver the news of your passing. The two of them had been comrades, it was only fair of her to give her a sense of closure.

"I'm looking forward to seeing you try, Najenda."

Akame finally lets go of her when Esdeath leaves. Najenda falls to her knees, letting out loud sobs as she cried for you. The entire team silently mourned for you as they stood by her side. You had given your life to save them, they weren't going to let your death be in vain.
