Agore's POV

"Well I really wish you had picked a different place to fight your sister." I told Akame "The Graveyards are supposed to be peaceful places."

"Hmm…" she nodded.

"Are you alright, you don't have to do this you know." I told her.

"No." she stepped out of the tree line and looked at Kurome "I need to."

"Okay." I kissed her forehead before she left "I'll be watching."

"Big Sis!" Kurome smiled "Is that your stupid boyfriend with you?"

"Agore came with me, he won't' interfere that's not like him."

"Okay!" she cheered "Do you want a candy?"

"They sure have a complicated relationship." Chelsea sighed "They're both trying to kill each other but they still trust each other."

"They certainly are unique." I sighed leaning on a tree.

"I did a quick scan and didn't find anyone." Seryu said floating back to us.

"Well then we just let them do their own thing for now." I explained.

"Why not just jump in and deal with Kurome now?" Dorothea asked "It'll speed this up a bunch."

"That's not what Akame would want." I told her "If any of you three interfered without my permission we're going to have a big problem."

"Hmph." The Alchemist scoffed "Stupid love clouding your judgment."

The two sisters chatted for a bit before Kurome jumped down to the ground and drew her sword. Akame followed her and soon the two were ready to fight.

"It's starting…" I hummed.

The two quickly exchanged a series of sharp strikes but neither activated their Swords powers. I watched patiently from the shadows before seeing that Akame was on the defensive, being forced back by Kurome who wasn't even using Yatsafusa's Zombie ability.

She must be high off her marbles to have doped this much.

Akame suddenly turned on the powers of Murasame and Kurome did the same with her blade, raising a horde of vile zombies from the earth that Akame took out all but one of in the blink of an eye. The former Jaeger took a little more effort but she managed to take him out as well so it went back to one on one.

"This battle is tight." Chelsea noted.

"Hmm." I only nodded and hummed back.

It only took a brief exchange between the two to see that Akame was once again taking the upper hand in this fight, pushing Kurome back and stalling her out, the younger girl crouching in near defeat.

"Hmm." I looked up.

"Someone's gonna spoil all the fun." Dorothea smirked.

"Kurome!"

I looked up and saw the blue suit of armor belonging to Wave, one of the last Jaegers.

"Hmph!" I jumped up and swiped at him only to have the shovel easily blocked by his arm, I pulled up my lantern and a flame charged up "Stay back."

I blasted him with fire that threw him into a nearby ruin where I quickly followed after him.

"I won't let you stop them." I told him seriously.

"I will!" he yelled "You can't stop me!"

"HAAA!" I slammed my lantern down and let out a blast of flame.

"Sorry about this!" Seryu yelled picking up a stone and throwing it at Wave.

"Where's the stuff I'll melt that armor right off him with some acid!" Dorothea laughed.

"No." I shook my head "We're only stalling him, not killing him."

"RRAAAH!" Wave pulled back to punch me and I was forced to hold the metal spade of my shovel up to block.

He's too strong!

"Strength Sap!"

Chelsea grabbed Wave from behind and started to drain his energy, weakening him so I could fall back.

"So what's the plan?" Seryu asked "Wave's too strong to take on headfirst, and even then…I don't think I can really bring myself to attack him."

"GAH!" before I could answer Wave dashed in and drilled my stomach with a punch.

"I will protect Kurome!" he yelled.

"She…asked for this!" I yelled punching him back before slamming my Glowworm down Fire Vortex!"

I can't let him beat me, if he gets in their way…Akame won't be able to fight Kurome how she wants, or worse…he'll kill her.

Heat and flames blasted out and carried Wave skyward on and updraft where I slammed him with my shovel, swinging it like a bat, sending him crashing down.

"Hmph!" I stabbed my shovel down "Will you stay down or should I start digging your grave. As much as I'd dread taking your young life, as much as it would hurt Seryu, I will destroy anyone who tries to hurt Akame! If you get back up, I will crush you!"

"Ohh isn't someone so serious." Dorothea laughed.

"HMM!" he started crawling forward.

"Seems you've made a choice that you can't back out of now." I glared before turning away "Melt him."

"YAHA!" Dorothea laughed pulling vials out of my bag "Hydrochloric Acid it is!"

A wave of melting acid shot out but before it could hit wave.

Those are the wings from the other Jaeger…he activated two at once, it's…not possible!

Wave blasted into the sky and there was no way I could catch him.

"What the hell…" I feel to my knees "How could I hope to stop someone like that…"

"Incredible." Seryu gasped.

"GRAND FALL!"

"BLEAAA!" I got kicked in the stomach and felt multiple ribs instantly shatter.

I was sent flying back and crashing into a wall.

"Agore!" Chelsea flew over "Are you okay?"

"Haa…" I coughed and gasped to clear my lungs "I'll…live…I think."

"GRR!" I struggled to use my shovel to stand and hobble out of the rubble.

"Stop you shouldn't be walking right now." Seryu warned.

"Can't…let him…get to Akame." I felt myself struggling to catch my breath.

I half dragged myself back to where I last saw Akame and saw her staring down wave.

"GAAA!" I managed to lift my arm up and start to aim a fireball.

"You can't!" Chelsea snapped "You don't have the strength to create any fire right now."

"Hmm…" Akame looked back at me "Agore…"

"Get away from them." I growled at wave.

I'll kill him I don't care what it takes!

"Dorothea!" I yelled.

"HAHA!" she laughed poisoning one of the needles I use with Chelsea "Die Brat!"

"Stop it!" Seryu yelped fighting with the other.

"Let go you idiot."

"Seryu let her throw it!" I demanded.

"I can't…let you kill them!" she begged.

"NGH!" I felt another sharp pain in my side.

No not now, if I pass out now the girls will go back into the lantern and I won't be able to stop him.

"No…dammit!" Dorothea snapped as she was sucked back into the lantern.

"He's got no strength left!" Chelsea said "We're being forcibly pulled back.

"Kurome! Wave!" Seryu called "Please…be safe…"

"BAH!" I coughed and fell back "Can't…keep this up."

"Agore!" Akame ran over to me.

"Sorry Akame…" I coughed "I'm alright, don't look so sad, I'm just hurt, this won't kill me. If anyone should feel sad it's me, I couldn't…stop him from getting in your way."

"You, stupid idiot." She sniffled "You were using the last of your energy to try and kill him to protect me and he was doing the same for Kurome, the fighting is over, you got worked up over nothing."

"I see." I smirked "I guess I really am Love Sick to lose my composure over you…listen, before I pass out, the cure, is in my bag, give it to Kurome, two a day, for two months and than one a day for the next three weeks and she'll be good as new. I'm sorry Akame…but I need to sleep…"
