Epilogue: Kurome

After learning of Shinnok and his impending invasion, the Empire dispatched its forces to subdue the Fallen Elder God and his servants. The Imperial Army, the Jaegers, and the Assassination Squad soon found themselves journeying into Outworld, the Netherrealm, and Earthrealm, in pursuit of the Enemy.

Numerous Imperials perished at the hands of Quan Chi's Revenants and Shinnok's Demon Legion. Despite this, Kurome continued forward with her task, while stopping only to add another dead Comrade or Kombatant to her collection of Puppets. Her quest finally came to an end, after infiltrating the Sky Temple, and confronting Shinnok within the Jinsei Chamber

The battle began to grow one-sided, as Kurome used her newly acquired puppets with their unique skills and abilities to overwhelm Shinnok. Even as the Fallen Elder God absorbed the Jinsei, and took Earthrealm's Power as his own, Shinnok's corrupted form still couldn't match the power of Kurome's Imperial Arm.

Shinnok's defenses eventually left an opening, which prompted the teenage Jaeger to seize the opportunity to lay her hands on the amulet, and wrench it free from his body. The resulting torrent of power erupted forth, and Kurome was bathed with the Jinsei's purifying energies.

Kurome fell to her knees, and clutched her head, as the body-enhancing drugs and Imperial brainwashing were wiped away from her body, leaving her in a normal state of mind and health. With her body cleanse and restored, the Akame's Younger Sister began to giggle joyously. But then, her laughter turned into screams and sobs, as she came to realize all of the lives she had taken as an Imperial Assassin.

Kurome's wails droned on for a time, her cries filling up the cavernous Jinsei chamber. When she finally calmed down, she looked down at her hands, half-expecting to see them covered in blood. What she saw was just her Imperial Arm. Disgusted and repulsed by the instrument with which she had perpetrated so many horrible deaths, she casts Yatsufusa away from her.

The teenage Jaeger sat there, staring at Yatsufusa, then at the undead Puppets standing nearby as they awaited their master's orders. From among the dead fighters under her control, Kurome recognized her Comrades whom she had since placed under control with her Imperial Arm's power. More tears flowed as she met the silent empty stares from Wave and even Esdeath. Beside them lay the broken corpses of Run and Seryu after they had received the brunt of Shinnok's assault.

To assuage the sense of shame for violating the sanctity of those who were once closest to her, Kurome turned to the remainder of her collection of undead Puppets whom she had converted after killing them in her own defense. Liu Kang, Kitana, and Quan Chi stood motionless, as they awaited instructions. Along the side, the shattered remains of Kung Lao accompanied the three. From encountering these four, as well as other revenant warriors in the Netherrealm, the young assassin became aware of the possibility of resurrection by means of sorcery. So long as the right materials are gathered, and proper conditions are met.

Kurome stared for a moment, as a thought entered her mind. Her Imperial Arm's powers, and the powers of her beaten foes, were a perversion off nature, and most amoral of sins. She began to wonder about what it would take for her to make things right. It then became clear of what she had to do. Instead of using Yatsufusa to bring any more deaths to others, she would use this power over the dead to bring about life. She will bring back her victims, and all of those who lost their lives up to this point, as penance.

With determination and resolve coursing through her cleansed being, Kurome took up Yatsufusa again, and ran its blade straight into a dying Shinnok. The steel eyed Jaeger concentrated and channeled Yatsufusa's dark energy into Shinnok's corpse, forcing him under the Imperial Arm's control. The Fallen Elder God and all his servants will now serve Kurome's ambitions.

Using the sorcerous abilities of her new Puppets, Kurome will scour the Netherrealm, and harvest the souls of her deceased Comrades and Innocents. She will then bring back everyone who has ever died because of her.

After her task is complete, only then will the Netherrealm's newly crowned Arch-Sorceress deem herself worthy enough to return to Akame's side.
