Heya guys, its me WolfFaunas3 here with a new story. I know what you are all thinking. Why make another story when you're already so busy with both school, work, and writing Team TOTM. I have a few reasons and they are simple. I love these two anime since I started watching anime. Akame ga Kill was actually my first experiance in anime, and while it certainly wasn't anything compared to the manga it was still great to watch. Another reason is thatI would love to see these two characters get another chance in another world together to make up for lost time. And lastly, I have gone through the crossover fanbase between Akame ga Kill and Fairy Tail and there are very few stories where a person from AGK goes to the world of FT rather than the other way around. And the ones that do are great, but I wanted to use my own vision on this.
Also just so people don't flame me in the review, I'm crossing points from both the anime and manga versions of AGK while adding some parts of my own and that's only to make some parts of this story make sense.
Disclaimer: I own neither franchises and they belong to their original owners. (Otherwise Natsu would have ended up with Lisanna and The world of AGK would be much more explained in depth.)
And as always I hope ye enjoy.
This is how it all ends huh? Akame thought to herself as she laid down in the cabin of her ship. Completing my friends dream to see the ocean, only to die out here all by myself.
She was wearing the same thing from her days in the empire. A dark sleeveless mini dress with a white collar and a red tie and a long black coat, a red belt that has a red side skirt cover, long black socks and black shoes on her feet, red gauntlets and black gloves on her hands. A scarf rested around her neck, hugging her beyond waist length black hair to her body. Her blood red eyes flashing with pain.
The poison that is running through her veins from Murasame during her battle with Esdeath is finally taking it's toll on her body. The only reason she had been able to last til now was through sheer willpower alone and that the New Empire had needed her to put a stop to those who would put the new regime's peace in danger.
With all of that gone what did she have left? Her comrades were gone, she was still a wanted person, and the only person she had left to call family for all of these years...
She shook her head, trying to get the image of her stabbing her sister through with her sword out of her mind. To this day it is still her deepest regret and greatest sorrow.
Her scars on her body burned fortelling another stabbing bout of pain running through her body. She broke into a fit of coughing and brought her hand over her mouth until she stopped and raised hand above her and saw the blood she's been hacking up for days now. The Murasame's poison was supposed to be merciful and end ones life in a matter of seconds, but she guessed this was her swords punishment for abandoning her humanity when she used her trump card.
She leaned over the side of her bed and pulled up her current Imperial Arms. The World Book: Rongo Rongo. The book that had the most detailed maps that could anyone anywhere in the world with perfect navigation. The eye inside the casing of the book staring back at her.
She then reached up and pulled a cord to open the roof above her head so that she could see the stars. She opened the book and matched the constellations in the sky with the maps in her book and confirmed that she was clearly in the middle of the oceans. The closet thing to civilization was two hundred miles east on a set of islands, and twice that distance west in the empire.
She then turned the book the very last page to use the books final power. The last page had the ability to see a prediction of natural disasters that will happen in the future. There was a large storm brewing in the direction her ship was taking. She had no doubt a storm that size would capsize her ship.
It wouldn't matter, she would be dead long before that storm hit her. No one would find her body at the bottom of the sea.
Her lungs tensed before her body was racked with a series of bloody coughs. And her vision was starting to fail.
She started to see a white light that blinked alive the memories of her life. Her parents selling her and her sister as slaves. Her time training as a kid to be an assasin. Her losing her team the elite seven. Her leaving the empire and leaving behind her sister. All before she was even seventeen.
I didn't live a long life. She thought as her life continued to flash before she saw what came after those events.
Her joining Night Raid and all the wonderful memories she made with each member.
Chasing Sheele with a knife for burning the meat.
Trying on Chelsea's clothes.
Training with Bulat.
Conversing with Najenda.
Breaking Lubbock's fingers for trying to peek at her in the hot springs.
Fishing with Susanno.
Learning about firearms and long range weaponry from Mine.
Taking her first drink of alchohol and her throat burning with Leone.
Training Tatsumi as a better assasin.
Her memories went to her team before night raid and their times together.
Working under cover with Tsukushi in a circus.
Making model ships with Green.
Punching Guy in the face for the same reason as breaking Lubbock's fingers.
Enjoying the hot springs with Cornelia.
Sword fighting with Najasho.
Beating down targets with Pony.
Running a mission with Natala.
Giggling at Gin's behavior.
But I can say that it has been a full one. She thought.
She then remembered reunting with Kurome after so many years of being apart.
That last image in her mind brought tears to her eyes as she brought her sword and book to her chest in her last moments.
"I'm sorry Kurome. If I were given the chance I wish we could have been together again." And with those words, her eyes started to finally close for good as the world around her started going black.
Her grip on her items tightened as she would leave this world how she lived in it, always a weapon in her hand.
But as she felt her heart slowly stop beating she swore she heard a sound akin to someone chuckling and the final words she heard ringing her consciousness were.
"As you wish."
Akame slowly, ever so slowly, opened her eyes. She was greeted with white and blue colors. There was a prickling sensation around her body. She wasn't in her bed, but lying on grass outside. Alarmed, her eyes immediately widened and she lifted her head to look around.
She was in a field, covered in white grass. The trees around had grey bark and white leaves, standing out against the bright blue sky. Tiny white leaves sailed across the sparkling blue lake.
Where was she? She was on a boat dying a few seconds ago in the middle of the ocean.
She sat up, the tall white grass tickled at her legs through the fabric of her socks. She checked herself to find that she was wearing the same clothes as before but now her sword was at her side and Rongo Rongo was on her other.
Akame felt something, sensing someones aura. She looked to see it was coming from the lake in front of her. She couldn't tell if... whatever it was... was friendly or foe, but right now she wanted answers. Akame stood up and walked over to the lake, when she reached the edge she knelt and leaned over to look into the water...
Only for her to gasp loudly when she looked at her reflection. Her face was clear. Clear of the scars she had from before. She pulled up her sleeves to look at her arms and lifted her skirt to see her legs and found only soft unblemished skin.
"How is this possible?" She asked outloud, hoping that someone was here to answer her.
"Perhaps I can shed some light on your situation, Akame." A voice sounded from the sky above, before a ripple in the lake formed and a person floated out of the water toward her.
She leapt back a distance and drew her sword into a fighting stance. "Who are you?" She demanded.
The man across from her was probably her age with how young he looked and a good half a foot taller than her. His skin was a nice tan. Hair that was short, dark brown, and swept to the right. Lean muscle slightly bulging underneath his clothes. A pair of jeans on his legs, beat up shoes on his feet, a forest green t-shirt, and a thin black, grey, and red flannel jacket with a grey hood attached to it. He had a kind smile on his face and a joyfulness in his eyes. His light-green, almost golden, eyes with tiny splotches of rusty orange mixed in. He had his hands up in a sign of peace and she noticed a silver ring on his finger with two dragons facing each other.
"Me?" He said while pointing to himself and chuckling slightly. "That's a good question. I have been given many names from the worlds that I watch. The Angel of Death. Death itself. The Grim Reaper." He looked her in the eye with a gentlemanly air. "But you may as well call me Grimm."
Akame was shocked. She was talking to death itself. Her shock wasn't from the fact she was most likely dead, but just how the supposed entity looked nothing like how any story told him. She eased from her stance lightly. "You're not what I expected."
The now named Grimm smiled. "I get that a lot. The cloak and scythe is cool when I wear it, but it really isn't that comfortable for day to day activities."
Akame looked around again, finally donning on where she was. "If your the Grim Reaper, then am I dead? Is this the afterlife?" She gestured to the snow white fields around her.
Grimm shook his head. "It's close, yet not so close. This..." He gestured around them. "is more of the in-between point between both the living and the dead. The top of the fence if you will. So many people from so many different worlds run through this place every few seconds to days." He swung around his finger like a lasso refferring the place around them. "I have a few different billions of copies of myself running around this place trying to get everyone where they need to go."
Akame was wondering if she heard that right. "Different worlds?"
"Yes." Grimm replied. "You're world is only one of millions upon billions of worlds whose dead I tend to. Yours in particular and you yourself have given me quite the amount of work to do." He said in a sad tone. "Decades of violence, bloodshed, anguish, and hundreds upon thousands of restless and melancholy souls coming through my doorway."
Akame looked down in sadness. She remembered a lot of people who had suffered at the hands of the Empire. And that was a mere handful of wheat in the field of what the Empire had done.
"Bu thanks to you that won't be an issue." Akame stood shocked at Grimm's words as he continued. "Because of you and your friends, those who would harm others for their own gain are no more. And now souls that pass from your world are content and in peace. For that I offer you a thank you and a proposition."
Akame took a step forward. "What kind of proposition?"
Grimm looked behind her and smiled. "A second chance. And if you don't believe me..." He pointed behind her. "then ask her."
"Onechan!" Akame froze as a joyful voice shouted behind her followed by the pitter patter of feet. She turned at break neck speeds to see a face she has been wanting to see forever.
Short black hair in a twintail style and black eyes. A black sailor uniform. A red belt that has a red side skirt cover and red gauntlets like hers. Long black socks and black shoes. A sword like hers on her left side. A bag full of cookies and other treats on her right. A coat like hers but white.
Tears stung at her eyes as she ran at the other person, screaming out one thing when they crashed together for a hug. "Kurome."
The two sisters hugged each other for dear life as they cried in happiness in their sister's arms. Grimm stood there and smiled, feeling proud for bringing two sisters back together.
The three of them stayed like that for a while. Grimm walking up to the two teenage girls when their tears had dried and were holding each other's hands.
"Akame." The two looked up at Grimm. "In your final moments, you wished for a second chance to be an older sister for Kurome. I am willing to give you that chance. Will you take it."
Akame replied instanty. "Yes, yes, a thousand times yes."
Grimm smiled. "A straight immediate answer, perfect. Although I should probably tell you that you can't go back to your world because you are already dead there. Instead I will send you to another."
Both girls looked visibly shocked at this.
"Where are we going?" Kurome asked.
Grimm for the first time since they met him sighed. "I'm tired of just spouting exposition. I'll make this easy for all of us and just give it to you the fast way." He raised his hands and pressed his thumbs against their foreheads where they glowed. The girl minds were being loaded with information about where they were going.
Earthland.
Everything they would ever need to know about this strange new land was handed to their minds like meat on a silver platter.
The customs, the countries, how it worked, the jobs it had, the fact that assassins were not needed.
The fact they had literal magic over there.
The one that really stood out was the type of magic they were going to be given to use by Grimm.
The raggedy reaper removed his thumbs and looked on as they processed the information in their minds. "That is the run down of things. And Akame," He waved his hand over Rongo Rongo on her right hip. "in case you need directions."
Akame pulled out the book and opened it to a page for both the girls to see lands they had never seen on a map before but knew the names to them because of Grimm's quick download style of info.
Grimm smiled before a light went off in his head and he bopped himself on the head. "I almost forgot. If you two are really going to go to Earthland, you might want to actually have a last name. What would you two prefer?"
The two sisters looked at each other and didn't speak, the only sign of communication between the two was there facial expressions.
Grimm had guessed that being trained as assassins and being sisters gave the two a way of speaking with each other without having to speak.
Their eyes lit up in agreement as they both looked back at him. "Yorukage." They said in unison.
Night shadow. He thought while smiling. So the literal translations of their names would be the Red and Black eyed Night Shadows. That is kind of a laugh.
"A great choice. Alright then. Let's do this." Grimm shouted throwing his hand with his ring in the air as a white glow flared from it. "To Earthland!"
And with that the white light flashed all around them and in the next instant, they were gone.
20 miles from Hargeon
A white light erupted in a field of flowers outside the port city of Hargeon and subsided to reveal Grimm, Akame, and Kurome.
"Here we are." He turned back to them. "Now, before I leave, there are two things I need to give each of you. The first are these." He held out two black traveling bags. "These have a good sum of this world's form of currency along with a few copies of clothes for you and some food if you get hungry." The girls took the bags and hoisted them onto their shoulders.
"And the second is this." His held his palms open facing up. His ring flashed and purplish-black balls of shadow like energy appeared in his hands. "As you know a good part of this world can use a substance in the air called Ethernano, pull it into their bodies and use to perform many feats they call magic. Bringing you two to this world and not giving you the power to use this gift would be blasphemy. Which is why I looked at the color of your souls and yourselves to find magic to fit you both." He finished as he pushed the two sphere of power toward their chests and entered into them.
They instantly felt more power than they ever had before, not only did every part of them feel ten times stronger but their minds cleared space to store the interstices of how it worked and what they could do.
"And with that, I leave you two to what I hope and firmly believe will be a wonderful life for you." His ring flashed as the white light that had brought them here flashed around him. "Grimm out." The white light faded and Grimm was no longer there.
The two sisters stood there for a second, all of this being surreal. Kurome opened her mouth. "Well, I did not at all see any of this com- oof!" She was cut off as her older sister suddenly wrapped her arms around her.
"I'm so happy to have you back." Akame said with a voice shaking with unconstrained happiness.
Kurome smiled as she wrapped her arms around her sister's neck. "I love you, Onechan."
The two stayed like that for another long while before separating from each other.
"So, coming back from the dead and waking up in a new world with magic. What next?" Kurome asked with a smile on her face.
Akame pulled out her new and improved Rongo Rongo and opened it to find out where they were. Afew seconds of flipping pages later she stopped. "There is a town about twenty miles from here. And to be honest, I could use a big plate of meat right now."
Kurome giggled at her older sister's similar love of food. "Then lead the way, Onechan."
The two started their journey into this new world. The newly named Akame Yorukage and her little sister Kurome Yorukage walked down the path to the port city of Hargeon.
Watch out Earthland because a new kind of force is here. The strength from the love of two sisters.
Hey everyone hope you all enjoyed the prologue. Yes, the sisters that fate kept apart and torn apart for so long, are finally reunited and are staying with each other forever.
And to answer a few questions that I know I'm gonna get from fellow AGK fans like me.
Their story before arriving in Earthland is the same as the manga but with a very blaring difference, the fight between Kurome and Akame. Wave still came, he still got his wings, he still fought evolved Incursio Tatsumi, but he still couldn't save Kurome.
The OC Grimm was a single chapter only character so don't expect him in any future chapters.
Akame's and Kurome's magic will be revealed in a few chapters. I will tell you this much though. Animedeviluvsyuri gave me a real good idea.
This chapter was set about six months before Natsu comes to see Lucy after his year long training, so expect to see him in a few chapters.
That is all for now. And I hope you guys come back for the next chapter. Whenever I decide to make it.
