"So all of that really happened?" Najenda asked with a look of pure disbelief on her face after Akame and Kurome had finished telling their story. Both of them gave a nod in response.
"You're really not them then are you?" Mine asked as her voice turned sadder with each word.
"No, we're not," Akame said hating to confirm that their Akame and Kurome were dead. For a while, not a single word was said as everyone seemingly stared off into nothing as various thoughts coursed through their minds.
Eventually, however, a perverted grin formed on Chelsea's face as she asked, "So with this Tatsumi guy, did you guys ever do it?" Twin blushes instantly bloomed on both of their faces as they denied it. This caused everyone to chuckle especially Chelsea as she was happy the tension has lessened. Sadly, however, that wouldn't last for long as only one side had told their story so far and it was obvious everyone had remembered this.
"So how did they die?" Kurome asked her voice turning grave. No one responded as they weren't really keen to recall the memories but eventually, Najenda spoke up.
"Schere was killed by that stupid biological mutt." She said as a stray tear rolled down Mine's cheek as she recalled the horrible night. "Susanoo died getting us out of the capital alive after they had to destroy the revolutionary army. He managed to hold off Esdeath and all of the Jaegers as we made our escape." A tear was rolling down her own face now as she remembered the Taigu that had gave his life for them. "And Bulat died after he rescued Lubbock. As you know Lubbock was being tortured but Bulat used his invisibility to get to him. Sadly Esdeath was there and things took a turn for the worse and she somehow sensed him and wounded him fatally. Luckily he managed to get Lubbock back here after he managed to escape somehow." She finished as she looked at the tent where the green haired man laid.
"What about Leone? You didn't mention her." Kurome questioned. This drew a small smile from Najenda.
"She's fine but is on an assignment now." She said confirmed the blonde girl's health.
"So what happened to us?" Akame asked truly curious to what killed this world's version of her and Kurome.
"Snow," Najenda said spitting out the word with venom.
"Snow?" Kurome asked wondering what she meant by that.
"Esdeath's son," Mine said cutting in causing both Akame's and Kurome's mouths to drop.
"Son!?" They both exclaimed.
"Yes, apparently since she drank the blood of a demon pretty much to get her Taigu it somehow got her pregnant eventually with the mixing of its power and her body. And the result was that monster of a man that is both human and Taigu." The two sisters honestly did not know what to do with the news and didn't say a single word as their minds tried to process what they just learned.
Another silence dominated them as none spoke for a while as their thoughts controlled their minds. Eventually, Kurome decided to break it.
"So what is the plan?" She asked drawing all sorts of looks.
"For what?" Mine asked wondering what the black-eyed girl was thinking of.
"It should be obvious, what are we going to do about Esdeath, Snow, and The Empire?" She said it as if it should have been plain as day.
"There is nothing we can do, the revolutionary army is destroyed and the two of you don't even have your Teigus." Najenda said with anger in her voice hating the fact that the words she was speaking were true. Akame and Kurome looked at each other and realized that they didn't have Genso or Murasame with them before Akame's eyes widened and she pulled out Revelation.
"Weren't they in the forms of Life during that battle?" Akame asked as she pullout out Judgement and tossed it to Kurome.
"They were but when we came here it was just Judgement and Revelation," Kurome said as she struggled with the Teigu before finally managing to get it open with a soft click. A soft hum of energy was released and it seemed to pulsate in a soothing tone before a foreign presence made itself known in Kurome's mind.
"It took you long enough."An all too familiar voice said coming from the Teigu causing everyone to jump.
"Did that just talk?" Chelsea said as she walked over and looked at it closely but not too close as she had no idea what could happen. As this happened Akame had managed to open Revelation which released a similar hum of energy.
"Are you awake sis?" The voice of Evil Kurome said from Judgement confirming that the Teigu had talked aloud.
"Yes but I'm still tired." The voice of Evil Akame responded from Revelation.
(AN: I am going to add a ' to the end of Evil Akame's and Kurome's name to make it clear who is speaking and also so I don't have to put the word evil in front of them. Plus it helps since they aren't really evil anymore.)
"You're still alive?" Kurome asked as she looked at Judgement.
"I don't really know the details myself but apparently I am." Kurome' replied.
"Can someone explain what's going on?" Mine asked clearly confused at what was happening before her.
"Our counterparts from the last world appeared to be inside these Teigu," Akame stated simply as she observed the handless face of Revelation.
"It's like I'm floating in nothingness." Akame' responded. "By the where where's Tatsumi and why isn't he the one holding me?" She also demanded. Akame and Kurome shared a look before they broke the news to her. It was safe to say she didn't take the news well as she was demanding to go out and find him immediately while Kurome' couldn't have cared less.
"We can't just rush out like idiots we need to come up with a plan. So help us and see if you can be useful at all and give us a useful Teigu to fight with." Akame said to her.
"I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing to make a weapon." Akame' pointed out. "You just don't suddenly become a Teigu and know how to do anything, besides it feels like there is something missing." Akame frowned at this and looked over at Kurome who was tracing over the cracks in Judgement with her finger. Upon seeing her sister's look she shook her head indicating Judgement was broken still.
"So these are useless for now," Akame said looking at the two Teigu. "We need weapons at the very least if we are going to be helpful at all." She told the others looking at their faces to see if anyone had any ideas before a lightbulb seemed to pop into existences above Chelsea's head as she got an idea.
"Why don't we just go get your Teigus?" This drew a look of confusion from the two sisters.
"We have them and they are useless currently," Kurome said as she waved Judgement around not at all caring about her counterpart inside.
"Not those I meant the Teigu that the original Akame and Kurome wielded," Chelsea explained.
"That could work out," Akame said figuring it was the best idea so far. "So where are there?" There was no way that their Teigus hadn't fallen into the enemies hands so this definitely was not going to be some walk in the park.
"I'm not sure myself but I would probably say they are being used by someone in the Jaegers," Najenda said as she brought one of her metal arms up to her chin in a thinking gesture.
"Do they still do anything since the Revolutionary Army failed?" Kurome asked. The sole purpose of the Jaegers was to exterminate Night Raid so they were probably still active searching for them.
"Yes they are and we have had a few close calls with them. I personally haven't seen any with the Teigu's but perhaps they are back at their headquarters as some sort of trophy?" The older woman thought aloud.
"So we need to figure out where they are and how to get them while managing not to screw up and get killed?" Chelsea summed up as a grin formed on her face. "Leave the information gathering to me." She said as she pulled out Gaia Foundation.
"I suppose we have no other choice." Najenda conceded as she stood up and popped her bones letting out a multitude of large cracks ring out in the air. "We'll start this tomorrow after we all have had some rest." She said as she began walking away. She stepped forward a couple of steps before stopping and turning around and said, "Oh before I forget I need to tell you one thing Akame and Kurome."
Both girls in question looked at her and in perfect sync said "What is it?"
A feral grin appeared on Najenda's face as she said, "Welcome back to Night Raid."
