Note: The main story of Kill the World of Remnant is complete and I am working on a sequel now. While doing that, I made a few chapters with characters from both series interact over some of the topics I did not get to address in the first story. These chapters have hardly any fights and are more dialog heavy. They did not fit in my passing for the squeal but I liked the character development and relationships made in these chapters too much to throw away. So I thought I would add them to the end of the first story to get setup the second. I hope you enjoy, leave a review or privet message me with any issues or constructive criticism.

Unresolved Chapter 1 – Akame and Ruby

Inside the dark room of intensive care unit of the Vale hospital, two teenage girls lay asleep on adjacent beds. One of them has long black hair and bandages wrapped over her left shoulder and was hooked up to an IV, the other is a couple of years younger with short black hair with red highlights. The lower half of her left leg was bandaged.

A light knocking is made on the other side of the door to the room. After a moment of silent, the door opens and a person flips on the light switch. The short haired girl starts to open her eyes to see the person who turned on the lights. She looks to see girl about her age with long pink pigtails and a pink and black dress. She holds a basket and looks over at the girls in bed, notices one is awake and smiles.

"Good morning Ruby." The pink hair girl says as starts to walk over to the window of the room.

"Good morning Mine, is Akame up?" Ruby says while rubbing her eyes as Mine reaches the window. She pulls back the curtains to allow sunlight to shine through. The light hits the face of the long haired girl as she dawns an irritated look, her eyes still closed. Mine looks over to her and lets out a sigh before turning back to Ruby.

"No. I guess one of us will have to eat her breakfast." Mine says, but as she finishes the sentence, Akame opens her eyes and looks to her pink haired teammate. She looks to see the basket Mine is holding and smiles.

"Now she is up. All I have to do is mention food and that gets her attention." Mine says to Ruby, causing the short haired girl to giggle a little. Akame looks annoyed as she stares at the Mine, "The food here is terrible, please tell me you brought something that is good."

"Do not worry. Susanoo made a few of meals. We all have been busy rebuilding the kingdom after the assault, but he found time to still make something." Mine says as she sets down the basket and opens it, she reaches in to garb two trays covered in cloth and two spoons. She walks over to put one of the trays and spoons in front of Akame and walks over to give the others to Ruby. The short haired girl removes the cloth and looks in joy over the rice and curry. Akame does the same before grabbing the spoon. However, her left hand shakes a bit as the eating utensil falls out of her hand. She looks in shook as Mine looks back, noticing the blood stating to form over the bandaged shoulder of her red eyed friend.

The pink haired girl walks over to her friend and picks up the spoon. She get a spoonful of both the rice and curry and holds in in front of Akame's face. "Your still in a lot of pain after your battle, let me help you." Mine says as Akame smiles again and opens her mouth.

As she eats, Ruby looks out the window to see the kingdom of Vale. In the sky were to three large airships over the damaged buildings below. "It has only been two days since the attack. The military must still be trying to make sure that all the Grimm are out of the Kingdom before civilians can reenter."

"Yeah, Ozpin has the rest of our teams helping out also." Mine adds on as she looks out the window also, "Except Jaune's team, they are in the room a few doors down the hall recovering. Which reminds me, I have some boxed lunches for them also."

"You should go give them their meals now." Akame says after swallowing her food. Mine looks to her friend in a bit of astonishment.

"Wow Akame, putting other people's food before your own." Mine says in a slight sassy tone.

"I am already done." Akame says in a nonchalant tone. Mine looks in confusion as she looks down to see the tray was completely empty. She them looks back at Akame, "How did you do that?"

"You were to slow. The curry was getting cold." Akame says as she grabs the cloth with her right hand wipes her mouth. Mine still tries to piece together what happened, she looks to Ruby who was just as confused.

"Whatever, I got to go deliver this food." Mine says in an annoyed tone as she walks over and picks up the basket. She walks to the door and puts her hand on the handle. "I will get a nurse to come in and change your bandages." She says looking back at Akame before exiting the room.

"She really is a nice person." Ruby says as she continues to eat her meal. Akame nods as she tries to get out of bed. However, she feels a jolt of pain in her side as she falls back on her bed. The short haired girl looks over in worry as Akame starts to breath heavily.

"Akame! You should not get out of bed yet. You are still hurt from your fight." Ruby pleads as Akame's breathing calms, "The doctors said you have lost a lot of blood from the cuts over your body and have multiple broken ribs. They said it was unbelievable you are still alive after what happened to you."

"I know but I want to help out my friends. It is infuriating knowing they are still out there trying to fight off the Grimm when I know I can help." Akame says as she looks in anger at her hands, noticing the left was still shaking.

"I feel the same, but we need to get better so they do not have to worry about us on the battlefield." Ruby says as she looks at her injured leg. She then looks back at Akame, realizing a question she had not asked yet, "What did happen to you out there?" She asks as Akame repositions herself on the bed.

"I fought against a guy by the name of Adam. He destroyed my imperial arm and was responsible for a lot of my injuries. I killed him and took his weapon as a replacement." Akame says looking over to a sword in its sheath next to her bed.

"Oh." Ruby says in slight confusion "But that was after everybody first meet at the gate. You were passed out and looked like you were already in a fight. What happened before?"

"Before I was in a fight that left me in a badly damaged state. It was with a guy called Mercury, who killed my friend Lubbock and was killed by Tatsumi." Akame says as she puts her hand over her ribs.

"I am sorry for your loss." Ruby says in a mournful tone, remembering all the friends she has also lost just a few days ago.

"But before I fought with him, Lubbock and I faced a female robot. She was capable of killing both of us. I saved him from death in that fight as much as he did mine." Akame says causing Ruby to gasp slightly, "Her weapon was several floating swords that shot blast of energy, it took a last ditch plan to defeat her. Her name was-"

"Penny." Ruby says as Akame looks to her with confusion over how she knew the name, "Did she have orange hair and was wearing a blouse?" Ruby says in a quiet, yet unaccepting tone. She turns to looks at Akame, trying to hold back tears. Akame now realizes how Ruby knew the name. She looks back at the short haired girl in horror, knowing she knew the answer already.

"Ruby…I…" Akame tries to speak but Ruby interrupts her.

"Why?" Ruby says as her grip tightens on her blanket. The tray of rice and curry slides to the side of her bed.

"We did not know. The way she talked, we thought she was an ally of Seryu. Then we started fighting in a life or death battle." Akame says in a bargaining tone as Ruby remembers that name. Seryu. She remember what that woman said as she was using Penny's weapon.

"Did you crush her head!?" Ruby says in an angry tone to Akame. The tray slides completely off the bed and falls on the floor.

"No, that was neither of us. That was Mercury." Akame says as she looks Ruby in the eyes. However, she breaks eye contact and looks at the floor. "But, it was Lubbock and I that did kill her. I wish I knew back then it was a misunderstanding. I am so sorry Ruby." The short haired girl loosens the grip on her blanket and lays back on her bed, looking at the ceiling. Akame looks back up at Ruby, waiting for a response. A few seconds pass like an eternity for the red eyed girl until Ruby spoke up.

"Did she suffer?" Ruby says in an emotionless tone.

"No. It was quick." Akame says as she looks to see how Ruby will respond. All she hears is silence. "Ruby, I know you hate me now. But please, I did not know who she really was?"

"I do not hate you. You were protecting your friend," Ruby says in the same tone as before, "But, I have this same feeling like before when I learned that Weiss died. It feels like I lost a part of myself again." Ruby says as she puts her hand over her heart, closing her eyes. Akame looks at her and has tears form. "Please, is there anything I can do to atone?" Akame says through the tears. Ruby takes a deep breath, opens her eyes, and looks back at Akame.

"Promise me you will continue to protect your friends. Do not let anyone of them die." Ruby says in a serious tone. Akame looks in astonishment over Ruby's response. She see the determination in the short haired woman's silver eyes. Akame looks back with the same determination in her red eyes, "I promise." She says, causing Ruby to slightly smile.

"Good." Ruby says is a soft tone of voice before looking back at the ceiling.

"Are you okay?" Akame says in worry.

"I will be." Ruby says to Akame, "I just need some time." After hearing this, Akame looks at Ruby for a few seconds before laying back and looking at the ceiling also. The silence goes on for a few seconds until Ruby speaks up.

"Akame, how many teammates have you lost?" Ruby says in soft tone of voice as she turns to the long haired girl.

"Too many." Akame replies in a depressed tone as she looks at the ceiling.

"Do you still remember them?" Ruby inquires again.

"Yes, they were my friends." Akame answers, looking back to Ruby. The silver eyed girl gives her a slight smile.

"You are my friend too." Ruby says.

"Really?" Akame replies.

"I know you think that sounds crazy, but I can tell you were not lying to me. You really did not know who Penny was. You were protecting your friend." Ruby says in a sincere tone, "I know you will do great thing at Beacon and become a great huntress. You are a good person that I would like to call my friend."

"Thank you Ruby. You are right, you are my friend." Akame says in gratitude as she wipes away a tear. As she finishes her sentence, the door to the room opens. Walking in is a female nurse wearing light green scrubs, holding roll of bandages and a medical bag.

"A girl told me that someone need to have their bandages changed." She says before looking at Akame and sees the bloodstains. Before she starts walking, she sees the rice and curry on the floor next to Ruby's bed. "I will get someone to clean that up." The nurse says.

"Do not worry." Ruby says to the nurse as she moves to look under her bed. There she sees a black and white corgi sleeping. "Zwei. I have some breakfast for you." The silver eyed girl says in tempting tone, causing the dog's ears to straighten and eyes open. He look to the pile of curry and rice and begins to drool. Zwei gets up and waddles to the food. After taking one lick, he lets out a bark of delight. Ruby laughs back as she begins to play with the corgi as Akame smiles at Ruby's change in tone.

The nurse smiles also before she walks over to the left side of Akame's bed and begins removing the bandages. They reveal a large gash on her shoulder that had been stitched up, but was still oozing blood. "We are going to have to redo this and put a brace on to reduce movement of your shoulder." The nurse says before reaching into her bag for the correct equipment. She begins the treatment as Akame tries to sit still. She looks over to see Ruby lay back with her eyes closed. She remembers the promise she made to her new friend, one she knows she will never break.
