Later once nighttime had fallen and after their "quality" time together, Run and Lauren had gotten ready, with their Teigu and Zodiac on their backs respectively as they stood out in the middle of the street late at night. However, footsteps behind them alerted them slightly.

Kurome: "Run? Lauren? Where are you two going?" Both looked over their shoulders, just to see Kurome behind them, with a light gray long coat on... and she had Himitsume on her back. "Let me guess, to Wild Hunt's station?"

Lauren: "..."

Run: "Kurome..."

Kurome: "I think there's more to both of your stories. That person who massacred all the school children... *glances at Lauren* the one who massacred your sister, Nebula.. is a member of Wild Hunt, right?" The blonde and red head remained quiet. "And that's why you're going to Wild Hunt. To pick a fight with them that's not 'in plain sight'.

Lauren: *sweat drops* "W-Wow... You figured us out that quickly..."

Run: "It must have been written all over our faces..."

Kurome: *smiles* "Wave probably didn't realize it though." To that, the other two Jaegers returned the smile

Run: "That's fine. He's more of A straight-forward type of person, so something like this wouldn't suit him."

Kurome: "Yep. That's why I didn't tell him anything. But, I'll help you both." She said, gripping onto Himitsume which surprisingly didn't react negatively to her. Lauren blinked in surprise.

Lauren: "You're using, Himitsume...? Can you even use a scythe?? Did it accept you?"

Kurome: "Don't worry. Himitsume had scanned me when I was inspecting it in Akaruime's room. It thinks I'm worthy. And I'll just learn how to use a scythe along the way, shouldn't be too hard." She said, smiling confidently. "No matter how you look at it, what they're doing isn't helping the Empire in any way. And I'll never forgive them for killing Bols' family just on a whim!"

Her smile soon turned to a hateful yet determined glare as she held out Himitsume, the demonic scythe glowing ominously showing that it fully agreed. Though she wasn't alone as a certain twin tailed blonde beauty stepped out from around the corner, her hands on her swaying hips.

Lieselotte: "Don't think I'll let you do this on your own." The three of them turned to look at the blonde, who smirked at them.

Kurome: "Liese..."

Lieselotte: "Normally, I wouldn't care enough to get my hands dipped in blood like this.. but since you guys are so determined to do so with Wild Hunt, I suppose I can't just ignore it now can't I? As a Rashaka Demon, I protect the Minister. But as your guardians, I have to make sure none of you die, right~?" She winked at them. To this, both Run and Lauren shared a smile together.

Lauren: "Thanks, Kurome.. Liese.."

Run: "Now, let us move out and put an end to this."

Girls: "Right!" With that, the team of four set out to end the threat of Wild Hunt.

Wild Hunt committed numerous atrocities for their enjoyment, but their primary goal was to be targeted by Night Raid. They believed that it would save them the time of looking for them. Night Raid received a flood of requests from the citizens to Assassinate Wild Hunt. The number of requests was the greatest Night Raid had ever seen, and was reflective on how truly brutal Wild Hunt was. The group received a direct order from the Revolutionary Army as well. Their mission: "To erase the villains that tyrannized the people. And if possible, take their Teigu". Night Raid moved into action immediately.

Standing on top of a rooftop within the Capital, Akame, now with the demonic scythe Ketsuekime in hand, had a piece of paper in her other hand, which detailed their instructions for the mission. Next to her was the Death's Harbinger himself, Dairoku, with Yoake in sword mode and with his eyes, a dull and lifeless red color. Behind them, were the other members who were able to fight, Tatsumi, Mine, Lubbock, Leone and Levi.

Akame: "The target is Wild Hunt, whose inhumane crimes knows no bounds. We'll send them to their graves!"

CHAPTER 41: KILL THE FOE PART 2

Arriving at the Wild Hunt headquarters, Run and Lauren both entered the building the former wearing a pleasant smile on his face to greet them.

Run: "Good evening. We're here." Immediately, Cosmina was already on him.

Cosmina: "Oh! Run! Your came again! Yaay!" She hugged his arm, pressing her breasts against him causing a tick of anger to pop up on Lauren's head. "Will you play with Cosmina~?"

Run: "If you're going to let me join Wild Hunt, of course I will..."

Enshin: "...He's so desperate..."

Lauran: "So!" She exclaimed, catching everyone's attention. "Where are the others?"

Cosmina: "They're with Syura. He got into a fight with someone and got hurt."

This caused both Lauran and Run to smile a bit since they know who the attacker was. But more importantly, with Syura away, they'll have a better chance at picking off Wild Hunt one by one, starting off with the Clown who was sitting on a couch while reading a book in silence.

Run: "Mr. Champ... You see..." He walked over to him and leaned down to him before whispering something into his ear, causing his eyes to widen with excitement.

Champ: "Seriously!?"

Run: *smiles fakely* "Yes."

>>Later<<

Champ: "Are we there yet? Where's the shack full of super-cute children?"

After successfully leading Champ away from the Wild Hunt Hideout, Run and Lauren were now leading him further away, with the fat clown growing more and more impatient.

Lauren: "Oh don't worry, Champ-San. We're almost there."

Champ: "You both really are good at getting on people's good sides. Not only did you bring bribes, but you even brought me some game."

Run: "Yes, because it's a chance for promotion."

Champ: "Man... I wonder what kind of kids they are. I'm really gonna love them." He commented, grinning. However, both Run and Lauren halted their movements and half-turned to glance at him.

Run: "And after you love them... why do you kill them all?"

Champ: *grins* "Do you even have to ask? It's so that the little angels will never grow up to be filthy adults! Adults are worthless. They're all scum! Angels should stay angels forever." The two Jaegers were just speechless, staring at the happy clown like he was crazy... which he was.

Lauren's thoughts: "W-What the..."

Ignoring what he just said, the trio continued forwards before they had arrived at the location, which was some old ruins, most likely similar ones to the area Mine battled Seryu. However, Champ just seemed confused as to why they were here.

Champ: "Hey! What the hell is this!? These are just some ruins! There's not a single kid in here!"

Lauren: "You... really aren't the smartest individual, aren't you, Champ?"

Champ: "Huh!?"

Run: "Do you remember what you bragged about that one time you got drunk?" The fat clown looked at them confused. "That you massacred a whole group of children in the Town of Joyou." The Wild Hunt member pondered for a while before remembering.

Champ: "Oh, yeah. There were so many of them. Just remembering them makes me happy. *comes out of daydreaming* Hey! That doesn't have anything to do with this!"

Lauren: "Bastard!! It has EVERYTHING to do with this!!" Her sudden outburst took Champ by surprise as she glowed a bright golden color with a distinct female voice announcing,

"Spiteful Dragon; Balance Breaker!"

As the golden armor clad her brilliantly, she and Run lifted into the air, with the male's Teigu, Mastema activating, sprouting its glorious angel wings.

Run: "Because, I was those children's teacher!!"

Lauren (Bael): "And I was the big sister of one those children! Time to die you fat bastard!!"

Champ: "Ah!?" He backed up slightly, his eyes widening slightly before he got into a stance to battle. However, with a whooshing sound behind him, he glanced back before leaping over a launched spear from Natala. "Woah!"

It wasn't over yet as Doya, who was perched on a ledge, began firing bullets at the Clown of Wild Hunt from her revolvers, who clicked his tongue in annoyance before taking out some orbs that swirled around him, forming a barrier that blocked the bullets.

Champ: "Who the hell are you!?"

With a dead and unsettling silence, Lauren grabbed one of Rerumukattā's bladed boomerangs, un-holstering it from her back before she threw it towards Champ, slashing off his left arm just before Run made a hand gesture, sending multiple razor sharp feathers into his body, even gouging out one of his eyes. Now weakened, the fat clown fell over just as the two Jaegers landed and approached him ominously.

Run: "We only had a few eye witnesses. It took a long time, but we finally found you..." He reached into his coat before pulling out a flower and approaching him. "This is probably nothing compared to the suffering that those children experienced, but..." With a swift motion, the blonde forced the stem of the flower into one of Champ's wounds, causing him to yell out in pain and agony. "Once applied to a wound, its internal compounds trigger immense pain... just like the General said. How appropriate for a precursor to your execution."

He pulled out a butcher knife from his coat, with him gaining an unsettling smile. Lauren ominously loomed over Champ, Rerumukattā's curved blade in her hand, with it pointing town at him. Seeing the sight of the blades inching towards his chest, the clown began to panic.

Champ: "S-Stop! Everyone will know that you're that ones who killed me! Are you okay with that!?"

Run: *smiles* "No need to worry. We'll pin it on Night Raid." He said as jammed the knife into the Clown's chest, with Lauren doing the same with her Zodiac Bladed Boomerang. "It took a very long time to gain the trust of you all. You killed countless people while we were trying to get into your group..." The two pulled their weapons out of him and stood up while glaring at him. "But we will not allow this o pass any longer. We will erase you from the shadows, one by one."

Finally... Lauren spoke, her voice having an ominous echo from Bael's helmet.

Lauren (Bael): "Nebula didn't deserve such a passing off... But you... be thankful you got such a generous fate... I know Nebula wouldn't want me to go down this path so I will spare you of endless torture..."

>>Meanwhile<<

Not far from the location Run and Lauren were with Champ, Enshin and Cosmina were approaching, with the high pitched and unsettling sound of Champ's screams catching their attention.

Cosmina: "That creepy scream! Was it Champie!?"

Enshin: *shrugs* "See? I told you we should follow them. You should never trust people like them, no matter how hot Lauren is."

Cosmina: *smirks playfully* "Or maybe you were Jealous of Run that he took both me and Lauren gave him the attention rather than you~? Insecure men are unattractive you know~" It seemed that Enshin didn't like that very much as he growled at her.

Enshin: "Shut up. Anyway, we have to let Shura kn-"

Lieselotte: "I have a better idea." Her voice cuts him off as suddenly a black portal opened in front of the two where Lieselotte and Kurome walked out, with two large bipedal Bug-like Danger Beasts behind them. "How about we kill you both and give Shura the message that way by saying Night Raid killed you~?"

She said, giving a slightly seductive and malicious grin as she licked her lips while Kurome just glared at her.

Kurome: "If you already know what's going on, then we can't let you live." She said, with Natala and Doya hopping out of the trees and standing behind them. For probably the first time, Cosmina didn't have a smile on her face as she saw the resistance before them

Cosmina: "She's... that other girl from the Jaegers... And the blonde... she's one of the remaining Rakshasa demons..."

Enshin: *smirks* "So they're picking a fight with us as a team. Bring it." He then looked to the dark sky, spotting a full moon directly above him, causing his grin to only grow. "And they even chose a night with a full moon when my Teigu is at its best."

With a malicious laughter, the pirate unsheathed his Teigu, before making a couple of quick slashes which sent out white blade arcs flying through towards them. Seeing this caused Kurome's eyes to widen just as Lieselotte cased a spell and created a barrier around them, blocking he attacks.

Moonlight Sword Dance—Shamshir
Teigu Form: Cutlass
Wielder: Enshin

"A Curved Blade Teigu capable of creating aerial blades. It's ability is affected by the Lunar Cycle."

With Enshin charging forwards, Natala and Doya hopped out of the way with the female gunslinger aiming her revolvers, only for both her hands to be swiftly slashed off.

Enshin: "A woman's hand isn't meant to hold guns. It's meant to serve me." Immediately, Natala leaped off of a tree, snapping it in half as he soars towards the pirate who only grinned. "Oh? You're pretty strong! But! FULL MOON WHEEL!"

He suddenly began to spiral around rapidly, with Shamshir releasing multiple air slashes that formed like a barrier of slashes around him, forcing Natala to block with his spear and be pushed back.. "Too bad for you, it's the Full Moon!"

With the two Danger Beasts approaching Cosmina, she smiled brightly as she took out her microphone.

Cosmina: "Everyone~! Let's get Cosmina's concert started~! Thank you for coming out to see me! I hope you have a great time~!!" She yelled in pure bliss before she began to sing in the microphone, causing her sound waves to burst out towards the Danger Beasts, killing them instantly.

Great Tremor—Heavy Pressure
Teigu Form: Microphone
Wielder: Cosmina

"The voice emitted through it becomes ultra-sonic waves and pulverizes the enemy."

(A/N: "Pulverize... Pulverization King............ Damnit we miss you Cornelia..")

With Lieselotte creating magic earmuffs for both her and Kurome to muffle out the sound waves from Cosmina . Kurome looked towards the Danger Beast puppets in disappointment which were admittedly last minute but then Enshin's voice caught her attention.

Enshin: "Where are you looking!? I'm coming for you!" He dived towards her, getting ready to strike her with Shamshir, however he was taken aback as Kurome immediately dodged his strike before retaliating with a slash to his back with Himitsume. "...Woah...! What the!? The one controlling them is the strongest..!?" As she moved out of the way, Lieselotte was seen standing behind her with a dark magic glyph rotating in front of her before bursting out a violet beam of magic at him. Enshin's eyes widened but he managed to roll out of the way in time. "But you're both not just facing me!" Then Cosmina approached the two females from their right.

Cosmina: "Please enjoy this~! Output: Full Power~!"

Enshin: "Double Prolonged Attack!"

With Cosmina's musical wave of destruction and Enshin's crossed air slash fast approaching the two females trapped in the center, they were in quite a pickle.

Lieselotte: "Shit..."

However fortunately for them both, Run and Lauren swooped in at the last second, with the male blonde picking up the ravenette and the armored female picking up the blonde witch.

Lauren (Bael): "Geez, what the hell is up with that attack..!?"

Run: "Are you two alright!?"

Kurome: "Run! Lauren!"

Lieselotte: "Ah, thank you, thank you!"

Run: *Grits teeth* "I didn't think we would be followed... I underestimated them.."

However, his eyes were quickly drawn to a specific orb with a kanji written in the center of it before it erupted into a tornado that sucked all four of them into the center of it. Run and Lauren immediately recognized this as Champ's Teigu, meaning... he was alive. Next another orb with a different Kanji in it appeared, Run's eyes widened as he saw what the Kanji read, so he immediately flipped himself and Kurome around, facing his back to it as it suddenly erupts in a large and devastating explosion. From the ground, a heavily injured Champ watched as the three Jaegers and Rakshasa Demon fall to the ground, with bad injuries on their body and scorching marks on Lauren's armor. Run however, took the most fatal damage as his back was completely scorched and being at the epicenter of the explosion, was burned completely to his inner skin.

Ace Solution—Die Leaguer
Teigu Form: Six-Orbs
Wielder: Fat Cunt-uhhh *coughs* Champ

"A Six-Orb Teigu. Each Orb is imbued with an element that activates once thrown."

Champ: "I can finally.. fight back..!! You underestimated my toughness! Both of you, say something! Ah?" Run and Lauren didn't say anything as they just laid on the ground. Despite her armor, Lauren was in extreme pain under it, due to Champ's Teigu clashing against her Zodiac-Armor. "Because of you, I remembered something that pisses me off. Back then, those angels wouldn't stop crying for you. They just kept screaming 'Teacher! Teacher!!'. And that one particular girl, she wouldn't stop screaming 'Big Sis! Big Sis!! Help!!'. What a turn off. It ruined the experience. Now... which orb should I use to kill you? Alright, Flame Orb!"

As he was choosing between his orbs, something inside of Lauren snapped as she released a loud yell, that sounded like a roar, forcing Champ to take a dash back away from her.

Lauren (Bael): "You... YOU FAT BASTARD!!!"

She erupted into a golden aura as she slowly stood up as Bael's wings rose high above her and with the tail, gave her an extremely threatening and Demonic silhouette.

Champ immediately reared his fist back.

Champ: "Execution by incineration!!" He yelled as he threw the flame orb towards the two, suddenly, a golden portal opened up beside Lauren as she reached towards it and pulled out what looked like The One Cut Killer—Murasame out of it before making an upward slash, slashing the orb in two causing it to explode around them. "W-What!? How did she!?"

Lauren (Bael): "Say hello to Rerumukattā's Trump Card, fucker! Gates of Babylon!"

Slasher of Realms—Rerumukattā
Trump Card: Gates of Babylon

"It grants the user access to all of the world's prototypes of Teigu, Zodiacs and even Shingu, and they can launch them as the strongest arrows towards their opponents. They can also wield these weapons in their hands and unlike the actual Teigu and Zodiacs, will have no physical hindrance and unlike the real things, the prototype Teigu and Zodiacs don't have their special abilities, so Murasame won't have its One Hit Killing ability. The downside to this Trump Card is that it's extremely difficult to master, and most who try to master it, often end up dead by the end of one usage. After it is over, the user's heart will temporarily stop for a few days, putting the user into a Stasis-like state."

(A/N: "Yup that's right. She's female Gilgamesh.")

Lauren (Bael): "I'll KILL YOU!!" She yelled as she blitzed forwards, her grip on Murasame tight as Champ stuttered a bit but took out some more orbs.

Champ: "You...!!"

He began to rapidly throw Die Leaguer's Flame and Explosion orbs at the charging armored female, who dodged them with her speed making her leave afterimages behind her.

With her circling the fat clown, she caught him off guard by suddenly appearing in front of him before she thrusts Murasame forwards, stabbing him in his left shoulder, causing him to yell out in pain, especially since that arm was slashed off.

Lauren (Bael): "THIS is for all of the poor children you've molested and slaughtered!"

Champ grunted as he attempted to throw another orb at her with his free right hand, only for the armored Queen of Heroes to reach back through a gate and pulled out the prototype of March of the Dead—Yatsufusa before slashing off his right arm and stabbing him in the right shoulder.

Lauren (Bael): "THIS is for RUN!"

Champ now immobilized watched as she reached back into two more gates that opened before pulling out the prototypes of the Shingu Kiriichimonji and Prometheus Harbinger before stabbing them into his chest.

Lauren (Bael): "This is for NEBULA!"

She reached back though two more gates again, pulling out the Zodiac Eye of the Storm—Ventus before stabbing him in the gut again with both of the blades.

Lauren (Bael): "And this..." She backed up, with Rerumukattā's Boomerang Blades in her hands. "IS FOR MYSELF!!" She yelled as she made a cross slash across Champ's body, causing blood to spatter out as he cried out in pain.

"Change Fang Blast"

She backed up as two large cannons similar to Barbatos' formed on her back as they began to charge.

Lauren (Bael): "NOW! RUN!! BAEL BLASTER!!!" She yelled at the shot off blasts in Run's direction.

He stood up, his glare hardened as he nodded as he activated Mastema's Trump Card, causing the wing's disks to split into segments, with the wings itself becoming an Ethereal Substance

Run: "GOD'S WINGS!!"

Thousand-Mile Flight—Mastema
Trump Card: God's Wings

"The trump card of Mastema, which gives the wings the ability to reflect an opponent's attacks. When used, the disks split into segments and the wings turn into what appear to be an ethereal substance, which allows them to be shaped into a protective shield. This trump card can also counteract Mastema's weakness at close range."

With God's Wings now activated and with a cross hand gesture, Mastema's now Ethereal Wings crossed in front of Run, creating a powerful barrier that reflected Lauren's blast, right to the ensnared Champ, who yelled out in absolute fear as the beam blasted right into him. All that was left by the time it was over, was Champ's skeletal remains.

Run & Lauren's thoughts: "Finally... We were able to take revenge."

Lauren stood next to her mate, panting heavily as she slowly dropped to her knees before she slowly looked up to the night sky, Bael's helmet disengaging in the process.

Lauren: "Rest soundly... Nebula..." She said, her eyes glistening a bit as Run weakly placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. But then, Cosmina began to skip towards them.

Cosmina: "Run~! Before you die, let's have some-" A bullet shot right through her chest caused her to gasp. "...Fun!?"

She fell over completely limp as Night Raid had arrive, Mine being the one to shoot her.

Mine (Pridwen): "Alright! Go me! And thanks for the backup!"

Leone: *smirks* "Alright then, let's go join the others."

Levi (Srivatsa): "Heh! This'll be fun!"

Enshin: "What!?" From above him, both Tatsumi and Dairoku, clad in their respective armors crashed down on him, slamming their hand held weapons into the ground, shattering it and sending shards into the air as Enshin leaped out of the way. "Two Brawn-for-Brains armor idiots! You're too slow!"

(A/N: "Shut up Sonic")

Though the sound of a turbine engine caught his attention as he saw forwards, a particular winged Ajax flying towards him swiftly, with the turbines in her wings spinning rapidly; It was the newly reborn Akame with Ketsuekime in hand/

Enshin's thoughts: "Shit! This is what they were after!"

Akame (Ajax): "Eliminate."

Her voice sounded as cold as ever, with the slight echo from Ajax's helmet giving her voice a more ominous vibe as she slashed directly across Enshin's chest with Ketsuekime's jagged scythe blade.

Enshin: "So... Strong..." He managed to mutter out as the curse quickly reached his heart and he fell down lifeless, with Akame hovering above him, her blue mechanical eyes glaring daggers at him.

Kurome: "Big Sis..."

The armored and airborne ravenette looked down towards her left, seeing her younger sister standing there, looking up at her. With sounds of metal rubbing against each other, Ajax's helmet disengaged, reveling Akame's striking red eyes to her, but this time her pupils glowed a dark purple. She said nothing towards her younger sister as the others joined her.

Kurome: "Dairoku..."

Mine (Pridwen): "Who would have thought that we'd have the same target as the Jaeger?" Kurome just remained silent before gripping Himitsume tightly as she herself was surrounded in a thin green aura.

Kurome: "We Jaegers will hunt down anyone who disturbs the peace! No matter who that might be!" He yelled out with full determination. Though being her, the exhausted and heavily injured Run and Lauren watched her, with Run smiling a bit.

Run's thoughts: "'We' will hunt huh... You've changed so much since I met you, Kurome. That's why, you can't die here..."

Mine (Pridwen): "Kurome, you're also a target of the Revolutionary Army."

Akame: "Prepare yourself, Kurome." The short haired ravenette gritted her teeth as she prepared herself with Himitsume before yelping as Run pulled her back.

Run: "Mastema..!!"

He yelled as his Teigu activated and launched an array of feathers in the form of a spear towards Akame who flew into the air to dodge but headed towards the others, but Tatsumi got in front of them. He yelled before spinning his spear in front of them.

Tatsumi (Incursio): "S-So Strong!"

As Akame hovered in mid air, she looked back towards where Kurome was, only to see Run flying off with her in his arms. She was about to give chase, only to gasp as she saw Lauren fly in front of her and throw the prototype of Murasame towards her, blade first to her face. Fortunately for Akame, Dairoku flew up to her and grabbed her bridal style as his tail caught the flung katana.

Mine leaped up above Tatsumi, and aimed Pumpkin towards Run, Lauren and Kurome.

Mine (Pridwen): "You bastards!" She yelled but as she aimed down sights, she realized that they were all clearly out of range and too far. They had gotten away. "No... They're out of range. It felt like he used his last bit of Energy to escape with them."

She said as she landed on Tatsumi's back, with Pridwen's helmet along with Barbatos' and Srivatsa's disengaging.

Lieselotte: "That's because he was.." They looked over to see the blonde witch with parts of her clothing burnt off but she seemed fine besides a few burnt marks. "Run's not gonna make it with the wounds he sustained. And Lauren will be out of action for a while."

Lubbock: "Well, we can still recover the Teigu left here. This battle is more or less a win for us. I kept an eye out for any witnesses but no one saw us. So let's just get out of here."

Levi: "Ahh~ Perfect. Mission Accomplished guys." She said with a grin while she stretched a bit. "Though we were only able to find them because they were fighting all out. Might as well thank them while we're at it."

Lubbock: "Yeah but we've attracted the attention of the others as well"

Leone: "We'll get the rest of Wild Hunt Next time."

Akame and Dairoku were the only ones who didn't speak, with the ravenette looking down as she just thought of her sister and the fact that she was using Himitsume, meaning Akaruime's spirit was with her. However, her attention turned to her boyfriend, who had the Prototype Murasame in his hand as he just looked at it.

Akame: "Is that... Murasame..?" She asked in surprise with the others looking at the prototype, their eyes widening besides Lieselotte. Dairoku just shook his head however.

Dairoku: "No.. This is Murasame's prototype stage.. It was summoned from Rerumukattā's Trump Card... Gates from Babylon." He dropped the blade, causing it to vanish into a golden glow. "Which means..." He looked at the others as Lieselotte finished for him.

Lieselotte: "Lauren used it's Trump Card. And will be taken out of the fight for a couple of days."

>>Meanwhile<<

With Run, Kurome and Lauren, both of the females hovered over the downed male Jaeger, who clenched his eyes shut as the pain was proving too much for him to handle.

Kurome: "Run!!"

Run: *coughs* "...This must be divine retribution.. for prolonging his suffering instead of just killing him.. It looks like this is it..."

Kurome: *tearful* "NO! If you die, Wave will be sad, and Lauren and I will be too...!" he only smiled peacefully at this.

Run: "Please tell Wave... to always be his kind self... and to keep moving forward..."

Kurome: "Run..." Throughout this, Lauren was just silent but slight trembling from her caught their attention, followed by sniffing. Run seeing this, frowned a bit and was about to say something... but looked in surprise as he saw that she was smiling sadly at him.

Lauren: "It's okay.. It's all over now.. You can rest now, Run.. You can rest.. my love.. I'll finish those bastards off for the two of us..."

She said, as tears ran down her face, but she kept her smile as she gently caressed his cheek. Seeing this, Run smiled back, with some tears in his eyes.

Run: "I love you too... Lauren.."

She only nodded with a happy smile before slowly she lost consciousness and fell over onto her back.

Kurome: "Lauren!!" She yelled and hovered over her, but upon putting a hand on her neck, her eyes widened in horror as she felt that Lauren's heart completely stopped. There as no pulse left.. "N-No..."

She desperately looked to Run, seeing him about to lose consciousness as well. However, she quickly took Himitsume and stabbed its blade into his chest, causing him to gag and spit out blood.

Kurome: "We'll always be together." She said, her voice becoming distorted as the crazed and desperate look in her eyes, gave Run a look of horror in his eyes.

Run's thoughts: "Kurome... Your psyche was warped to this extent...? This is why... The Empire that raised such a miserable girl... Has... To... Change..."

. . .

Kurome: "This is how it should be... we Jaegers are a team." Her smile warped into one that was unsettling and crazed. "I don't want to say goodbye, just when we finally started getting close"

Slowly rising to his feet behind her, with the Comatose Laruen in his arms bridal style, and with Mastema's wings sprouted, not in a black color, giving him the appearance of a fallen Angel. Run had risen again...

Kurome: "Don't you think so, Run?"
