Falling into unconsciousness, Kurome felt as if her lungs were on fire, while Ganon's hand prevented her from breathing. Taking his time to kill her, the god watched as Kurome's face began to lose all trace of life.

"This was the only possible outcome from the beginning! You fought valiantly... but your move remains stupid."

Unable to hear him anymore, Kurome had stopped moving a long time ago. She wasn't the kind of person to believe that the afterlife existed. However, having the strange impression of seeing a sudden light appear, Kurome was convinced that she felt her soul leave her body. Her death was coming.

" WHAT ARE YOU DOING ? "

Suddenly, seeming to appear before her, the spirit of the ancient warrior she had fought on the boat was above Kurome.

"I thought I made myself clear to you! If you want to become the most powerful swordsman and defeat all your opponents, you have to surpass your limits! So do it and fight."

Kurome remained still and silent. Then, disappearing, the warrior's spirit gave way to Wave.

"Kurome... you can't die! The Jaegers need you! Kurome... we swore to each other to return home, all together! You have no right to keep that promise."

"Wa... av... Wave!" The girl whispered.

"Huh?" Ganon wondered, thinking he saw her lips part.

Unable to see Wave, Ganon no longer saw Akame's spirit, which appeared in front of her sister. Initially displaying an emotional face, Akame ended up staring at her little sister, with a mocking smile.

"Kurome... I knew you were pitiful... but not this bad! I can't believe you pretended to be strong enough to kill me when you lost to that pig."

" That's it... That's it. " Kurome murmurs.

"Why should I keep quiet! Look at you... seeing you like this makes me want to humiliate you even more! Honestly, you should die now rather than be humiliated further."

At that moment, Ganon was surprised to see Kurome's teeth begin to clench.

" What ? "

"I... I'm going to win."

"Win?" Akame asked. "Don't talk nonsense! Have you seen how weak you are? You're so weak that you have to take drugs to match my power! You know what? That's what makes me ashamed of being your sister! When will you understand that you could be an excellent warrior without needing those damn drugs?"

Getting closer to Kurome, Akame roared.

"If you want to beat me, stop acting like an idiot and become a real fighter! Even if you embarrass me, you're still my sister! And I know you can beat that pig! So, prove me right.

At this point, Kurome's eyes opened. Then, seeing Ganon in front of her, Kurome aimed her foot towards his face and let the tip of her shoe sink into his eye wound.

Surprised by this, Ganon let out a cry of pain and let go of Kurome to place his hands over his bloodied eye.

"AHHHHHHH!"

Managing to land on her feet, Kurome grabs Zelda's sword, before making it sparkle. Then, taking a deep breath to fill her lungs with oxygen, Kurome rushes towards Ganon. Unable to react in time, the god lets out a cry of agony, when Kurome finds herself behind him, after having slashed him in the abdomen.

Spitting up blood, Ganon felt a large wound forming on his abdomen, showing that Kurome had managed to seriously injure him. However, doing a few spas forward, Ganon managed to keep his balance and did not fall. Instead, spitting up some more blood, the man finally turned around to look at Kurome. Unable to understand what had just happened, Ganon looked at the young woman with rage.

"How... How can you still be able to defeat yourself? Who are you?"

" Who I am ? "

Turning back to him, to show him a serious and determined face, Kurome affirmed.

"My name is Kurome! I am a member of the Jaegers! And most importantly, I am the person destined to kill my sister! And to do that, there is no way I am going to let a pig like you stop me from fulfilling my revenge! Compared to my sister, you are nothing."

Growling in displeasure, Ganondorf finally straightened up and let the blood flow down his chest as if he barely felt the pain caused by his injury.

"Jaegers? After all, I should have killed you all when I had the chance! However, I will quickly correct my mistake! If I leave you alive, you will be able to create a revolt that will incite all the vermin of this world to revolt against me."

And before Kurome could react, he created a huge magic circle under his feet.

"I hope you were able to say goodbye to your precious friends! Because they are going to die soon."


In the meantime...

Punching King Bublin's face, Wave managed to force him to take a step back. However, despite feeling a trickle of blood flow from his snout, the monster closed his own fist and struck his opponent's helm.

Both injured, the duo continued to face each other and violently hit each other. Behind Wave, his three friends were sitting or lying on the ground, while they were too exhausted to continue the fight.

"He has to win." Run said. "If Wave loses this fight, we're done for."

But while Seryu and Bols remained silent, Koro turned around, before starting to growl.

"Huh?" Seryu wondered, turning around.

Feeling a slight tremor under her feet, Seryu was initially surprised as she felt like she saw the ground start to move in certain places.

" What is happening ? "

Surprised by her question, Run and Bols turned around. And it was at that moment that the trio saw a sort of bony hand come out of the ground. Widening their eyes, the Jaegers remained motionless while large semi-armored skeletons came out of the ground and looked at the humans with malice.

"Is this...is this a joke?" Bols asked.

" SERYU ! " Shouted Run.

"I can't do anything," the young woman retorted. "I'm out of ammunition."

"My teigu is out of fuel too." Bols said. "I need to find a way to recharge it."

For his part, he just grunted, Koro seemed unable to transform proving that he was still too tired. Exhausted himself, Run felt unable to use his teigu.

"Damn it." The blond growled, seeing the skeletons coming towards them in large numbers.


Continuing to fight, Esdeath and Blaziken stopped, seeing skeletons emerge from the ground around them.

"Huh?" Esdeath and Goli wondered, seeing the creatures walking towards them.


Still lying on the ground, Tatsumi remained perfectly still and unarmed, while a group of skeletons surrounded him ready to kill him.


Back to Kurome...

" HAHAHAHA ! "

Seeming to be elated at the knowledge that his opponent's friends would soon die, Ganondorf made his laughter echo throughout the throne room. However, eventually calming down, he saw Kurome remain still and display a calm gaze, showing no reaction.

"Hey! Could you show a little fear in your eyes?"

"You're even more of an idiot than I thought." Kurome stated. "No matter how many monsters you summon, they'll all be wiped out."

"Are you really sure? My Stalfos army should start acting right now! They will go to all regions of this world and destroy everything these people love so much! All these useless things like family, dreams, happiness, friendship, should cease to exist! These feelings make people weak and they die sooner than they think! What's the point of having these stupid emotions like dreams if you know you can't achieve them in the first place?" Ganondorf asked. "Your own dream is to kill your sister? How can you achieve it when you'll end up dying at my feet?"

This time, Kurome showed a slight anger in her gaze.

"I find you arrogant for someone I've managed to injure several times." The girl stated.

"Huh ?" Said Ganondorf.

"At first, I thought you were just a desperate idiot who wanted attention! But now I see that you have no intelligence! That probably explains why you didn't succeed the first time you did that." Kurome said. "If what you say is true, then why did you lose to Link, who protects all the stupid things you want to destroy?"

This didn't amuse Ganondorf at all.

"Your foul mouth will be your downfall." Ganondorf shouted as he charged at Kurome, sword in hand.

Ganondorf made a vertical slash at Kurome, who dodged it and countered it with his sword, which Ganondorf blocked with his forearm. Ganondorf threw a punch at Kurome which sent her flying to the other side of the room. Rolling several times on the ground, the young girl nevertheless managed to regain her balance and while her arm at her side.

Managing to grab Wario's sword that Ganondorf had thrown earlier, Kurome was once again armed with two weapons. But already, a teleportation portal appeared behind her, while Ganondorf stepped out of it.

Grabbing the back of Kurome's skull, Ganondorf threw her violently towards the ground and crushed her face against the stone. Immediately, the young swordswoman felt her vision blur again as more blood flowed down her face. However, tightening her grip on her sabers, she did not let go of them and even managed to direct them behind her and targeted Ganon's abdomen.

Seeing the two blades heading towards him, the warrior jumped back, to avoid being pierced. Getting up immediately, Kurome turned around before pointing her swords at Ganon.

Managing to duck, the god felt one of the swords cut a few strands of his hair. Then, creating a ball of fire in his hand, he threw it towards Kurome. Unable to dodge the attack, the young woman crossed her weapons in front of her. However, an explosion occurred when the attack hit her blades.

Being thrown back again, Kurome couldn't react as Ganondorf appeared behind her. Targeting her back, the god dug his knee into it. Screaming in pain, Kurome felt like he had just broken her spine.

Then raising his hands above him, Ganon brought them down forcefully, in order to crush the Kurome's head under his fists. However, a noise was heard and an arrow went through one of Ganon's arms.

With a roar of pain, the god grabbed his injured arm, before directing his gaze towards the front door.

Having kept his promise, Link had returned, once he had Zelda safe. Having sprinted back here, the blond seemed tired. Nevertheless, having his bow in hand, he targeted Ganondorf again.

"Ganon... I beat you once! So trust me to do it again."

Growling in displeasure, Ganon kicked Kurome's body which crashed into a pillar as Ganondorf began to wrap a massive dark aura around him.

"I have shattered your bodies." Ganondorf assured as he produced a massive jet of dark flames that tore through the room, pulverizing anything in their path. "Now, it is time to shatter your dreams."

Seeing the flames coming towards him, Link grabbed his shield and used it to protect himself. However, passing through the flames, Ganondrof's fist ended up in front of his projection and struck his shield with force. Feeling his feet move back several meters, Link had difficulty facing the brute force of the god, who continued his assault.

"IDIOT! I SAID YOU COULD NEVER DEFEAT ME! HEH HEH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Ganondorf laughed.

And while Ganondorf was going after Link, Kurome was barely breathing as she couldn't keep her eyes open. Being torn, her black clothes prevented the many blood stains from being visible. Still, Kurome had multiple bruises all over her body and most of her bones are also broken. In the same state as her, anyone would not be able to fight anymore.

"LINK..." Ganondorf shouted, managing to crack the blond's shield. "Once I kill you, I will find Zelda! And then, I will remove the Triforce of Wisdom from her! And when that is done, I will become the master of this world.

Finally, his fist pulverized Link's shield, before hitting his abdomen, making him cough up blood. Then, creating a black flash, Ganon used it to strike Link down. Letting out a cry of agony, the blond ended up coughing smoke out of his mouth, before collapsing on the ground.

Seeing this, Ganon displayed a wide smile. However, coughing, the god spat out a little blood, proving that his injuries were degrading the state of his body.

"I can't believe these humans managed to hurt me this much."

Suddenly, a noise was heard behind him. Eyes wide, Ganondorf stood still for a few moments. Then, turning around, he clenched his fist so hard that it caused his palm to bleed.

"What do I have to do to kill you?"

Just standing there, Kurome's body was shaking. Breathing with difficulty, the girl took an awkward step to her right, as she seemed unable to maintain her balance enough to remain standing.

"You're incapable of standing." Ganondorf growled. "How desperate are you to win?"

In response, Kurome sheathed Wario's sword. Then, she brandished Zelda's sword towards Ganondorf.

" An attack ... "

" Huh ? "

"I will finish this battle with only this sword and with only one skill."

The twilight sky began to darken as a large thunderstorm broke out outside. Ganondorf looked at Kurome before smiling evilly.

"You're pathetic! You're too weak to continue! I could finish you off by throwing you to the ground." Ganondorf said as he noticed twilight beginning to envelop Kurome's body.

At that moment, Kurome's sword lit up like it had before. However, as it quickly stopped lighting up, the weapon produced a demonic aura, similar to Ganondorf's.

"What is this?" Ganondorf asked as Kurome's eyes turned a twilight color.

"My body is incapable of producing any light." Kurome stated. "I am a human who was raised to become a killing machine! Killing people is the only thing I know how to do! Therefore, instead of trusting in the light, I prefer to use the darkness to increase my strength."

Staring at Ganondorf, she assured.

"I'm going to kill you...here and now."

In response, Ganondorf brandished his enormous sword in front of him, before covering it with black flames.

"You're right! It's time to finish this fight! But this time, when I'm done with you, I'll make sure you can never get up again."


Punching a skeleton in the face, Bols managed to make it back away. However, he cried out in pain, feeling another skeleton's sword cut into his back. Trying to face three opponents, Seryu was forced to back away to avoid being crushed by a club.

"GUYS!" Wave shouted, seeing his friends in danger.

"Wave, focus." Run ordered him, while he was injured in the shoulder. "Instead of worrying about us, hurry up and defeat your opponent."

With a cry of rage, the Bulblin King crushed several Stalfos that tried to surround him, before charging at Wave.

Seeing his friend being dominated by the monster, Run gritted his teeth. Around him, Bols and Seryu were being dominated by the skeletons, which seemed to be more and more numerous.

Immediately, Run couldn't help but think back to their defeat when Bowser attacked Peach's castle.

" This can't happen! Not again! Am I an incapable? Am I incapable of doing anything right if Esdeath isn't here? "

"Run...we need to make an emergency retreat." Bols shouted. "We can't beat them all."

"It's no use." The blond retorted. "The monster Wave is fighting will prevent him from escaping! We must defeat it first."

"But we can never last more than ten seconds."

Thinking the same thing as him, Seryu put a knee on the ground, while one of the skeletons had injured her thigh.

"No way! No way I'm letting Ganondorf win."

Suddenly, displaying a demonic smile, she assured.

"I'm going to kill them all."

Then she turned to Run and Bols.

"Tell Wave to run away with you! I'll make sure to kill all of our enemies in an instant."

"What?" Bols wondered.

"I thought you were out of ammo." Run said.

"I have one last weapon left." Seryu said, pointing to her brain. "The bomb in my head."

"The... The bomb?" Run repeated, his eyes widening. "Seryu... are you kidding?"

"Stylish implanted a bomb in my head." Seryu assured, her smile widening. "With this, I can further ensure justice."

"Seryu, don't do anything stupid." Run ordered her. "Does your life mean nothing to you?"

Ignoring him, Seryu prepared to activate the bomb. However, a plant storm stopped her.

Servine use LEAF STORM.

Surprising everyone, the green pokemon attacked a group of Stalfos and managed to destroy them. Then, a metallic bird attacked the other skeletons.

Skarmory use STEEL WINGS.

Struck by her wings, the skeletons were pulverized.

"What are these animals?" Bols asked.

For her part, recognizing the two pokemons, Seryu ends up hearing a voice.

" Seryu-chan ! "

Sitting on a wall, Megma gave her a friendly wave, while her two Pokemon joined her.

" Megma ... " Said Seryu.


For their part, the Stalfos who wanted to attack Tatsumi faced a huge turtle that threw water on them.

Blastoise use HYDRO PULSE.

Seeing the skeletons being destroyed, Jon had his arms crossed as he stood over Tatsumi's unconscious body. However, too many for his pokemon to fight them all, more Stalfos headed towards him.

Seeing this, the third member of the Raptors grabbed a second pokeball and threw it.

" BALTOY ! "

Coming out of his pokeball, the pokemon appeared in front of the skeletons.

" Use PSYBEAM ! "

Targeting the remaining skeletons, his pokemon had no trouble defeating them.


Still watching Esdeath battling Goli's Pokemon, Stylish swallowed as he saw multiple Stalfos being trapped in a block of ice or having been reduced to ashes.

In seconds, Esdeath and Blaziken had defeated them.

"And now…" Esdeath said. "Let us resume our fight."
