KR: Being a solider ever since childhood is sure is rough, but with some people you would find it's very normal. Their childhood scattered in the air, but despite this, they would walk into the path their hearts carved to them.

**AK211: Akame, The Ace of the Night Raid.**

KR: And Mukuro Ikusaba, The Ultimate Solider.

**AK211: He's KR and I'm AK211!**

KR: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win...A Death Battle.

## Akame

**Tier:** **Continent Level** | **Planet Level+**

**Key: Akame Ga Kill** | **Ennoodzuno Mode**

**Name:** Akame, Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame

**Origin:** Akame ga Kill!

**Gender:** Female

**Age:** Teens

**Classification:** Assassin, Swordmaster, Member of Night Raid, Teigu User

**Powers and Abilities:** Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Master Swordswoman, Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant, Stealth Mastery, Regeneration Negation, Limited Resistance to Poison (She developed resistance to moderate amounts of toxins as part of her training as an elite assassin), One Hit Kill, Aura Suppression, Afterimage Creation, Willpower Manipulation (Can create shockwaves from sheer willpower alone), Resistance to Telepathy and Illusion Creation (Can "Clear her mind", hiding her thoughts from Zanku, who is able to read one's mind. Broke through Zanku's illusion of Kurome through brute force), Cold and Ice Manipulation (Resisted Esdeath's cold during her fight against her), Sound Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation and Willpower Manipulation (Akame was circling around Esdeath to gain an opening while Esdeath was fighting multiple Teigu users who were using Scream and Heavy Pressure, so it's likely that she was in range of the abilities of the two Teigus)

KR: Lots of manga and anime series like to develop some sort of a source of entertainment by displaying rather different features such as violence, gore, blood, and so on. And this would be the same as the recent manga today.

**AK211: Enter, The Empire. An extremely rotten place to the core. Where it's no holds barrel for criminals. They kill, purge, rape, steal, and pretty much anything that they desire up to their heart's content.**

KR: All of this and more is caused by Honest, The Prime Minister of the Imperial Capital, who is controlling the naive young emperor, Makoto.￼

**AK211: Makoto? As in Makoto Naegi, you mean?**

KR: What?! No! That's another series. It's Akame ga Kill, not Danganronpa, you silly!

**AK211: Oh. My bad.**

KR: Such a pain in the head. Anyways, Honest wanted the Empire for himself, so he killed the second emperor by spiking his drink with poison, killing him on his bed. He then shoved poison up the throat of his wife, killing her as well, and leaving little Makoto to rule the country. But because he was still young, someone must be with him to advise him, and there was no one other than Honest himself.

**AK211: So being the shit-eater he was, Honest ravaged the Empire and took everything from it, ruining down its previous years of glory. That is, untill a group of assassins rose to work in the darkness to end the tyranny of the old fatso prime minister. Their name...is Night Raid.**

KR: A group of mercenaries and assassins working for the Revolutionary Army, Night Raid exerted its efforts to kill all evil step by step in the Empire, before moving on to the Prime Minister and the Emperor.

**AK211: But we are here to talk about one of them in particular. One that deserved to be the Ace of this assassination group. Her name...is Akame.**

KR: Akame had a miserable childhood, having been sold by the Empire at the age of 5 alongside her sister. After surviving in a forest full of building-sized beasts and carnivores plants, she was recruited by the Empire as an Imperial spy, after being separated from Kurome, her sister. She then met Najenda, a former general of the Empire, who she was ordered to kill. However, Najenda managed to convince her that the Empire was rotten and that she needed to follow the path her heart carves for her. And that marked Akame's start of joining Night Raid to bring down the Empire.

**AK211: With the backstory out of the way, let's enter to the ass-kicking. Being a trained assassin, Akame is an expert in silent killing methods and stealth abilities. She can kill any enemy without giving out any sound.**

KR: She is also an expert in bare handed fights, having taken down alchemy-enhanced with her bare fists, and also building-sized Danger Beasts.

**AK211: She is an expert in sword dancing. Her sword play has been described to be like flowing water.**

KR: Speedwise, Akame has shown to be extremely fast. She can dodge bullets fired at her at point blank range, blitz a group of enemies in a split second, turning them into floating droplets of blood, keep up with characters that can create sonic booms by merely stretching their legs and even dodging lightning.

**AK211: Lightning? Holy God!**

KR: An average lightning bolt travels at 440000 m/s. By knowing the distance that Akame leapt during her clash with Esdeath to avoid Budo's lightning, we would find out that Akame can dodge lightning at around Mach 825! That's around 825 times the speed of sound!

**AK211: You forgot to mention that she scales to Tatsumi, who literally outran alchemy lightning bolts, and considering the fact that this is lightning, we can say that Tatsumi in his Evolved Incursio form can reach speeds up to Mach 1283!**

KR: Akame has shown to be quite durable. She took hits from Grand Chariot Wave, whose kick could pulverise Pre-Evolved Incursio Tatsumi. And by the way, Pre-Evolution Incursio Tatsumi can kill Town-threat class Danger Beasts rather easily.

**AK211: With that out of the way, we have Akame's weapon. The weapon which have earned her her name. The One Cut Killer: Murasame.**

KR: In the AgK universe, there are relics that have different shapes and types. They are called Teigu. Each Teigu has a different ability, whether it's forged from the flesh of Danger Beasts, or made through pure technology, or crafted by the combination of both. Akame has one of them, which is Murasame, A katana that has a curse in its blade. By only one cut, the victim will die in seconds, and there is no cure for it. All that she have to do is to slice anywhere at the enemy, and it's over.

**AK211: Like any Teigu, Murasame has an Ace in the Hole, or a Trump Card, which is the manifestion of the full power of a Teigu. Murasame's Trump Card is called The Ennodzuno, A.K.A Little War Horn.**

KR: The Ennodzuno is a form where Akame achieves by casting away her humanity in exchange for demonic powers which are drawn directly from the blade. This form enhances her already astonishing statistics further more. To the extent that it allowed her to defeat a serious Esdeath, who covered the entire country in Russian Winter, and was implied to have the power to attack the very world and its lands. That would make Esdeath, and in turn Akame, border on Multi-Continent Level of power potency! While people may argue on this as an outlier, the fact that it was mentioned and confirmed by another character in the series makes this acceptable.

**AK211: Not to mention that even before that claim, Esdeath had demonstrated the fact that she is superior to the Mountain-sized Robot Teigu, Shikoutazer, who at full power was capable of busting up a large hole in the center of the Capital. By knowing the size of the mushroom cloud generated, and the fact that there was steam radiating from the hole resulted from the attack, which confirms vaporisation, ￼￼we would conclude that Shikoutazer's maximum output of energy was worth of 118 Gigatons of TNT! This is the enough amount of power required to bust down a large island! And Esdeath is way beyond this, making her Country Level even before the Multi-Continental claim.**

KR: Even without her trump card, Akame scales to Evolved Incursio Tatsumi, who overpowered Budo. Budo, at full power, created a large storm cloud. If we knew the circumference of said cloud, alongside the distance between it and the ground, we would find out that Budo created a storm cloud which has a maximum power output worth of 2.19 Gigatons of TNT! More than enough to destroy a small island.

**AK211: All of this is sweet and all, but even a badass like still have her share of flaws. For starters, Murasame's curse is useless if it didn't make a single cut on the enemy. Furthermore, it works on beings that have hearts. So robots, undeads, armour bearers and biological Teigu with be unaffected with anyway by it, making Murasame act as a plain normal katana.**

KR: But even with this, Akame has never faltered in the face of death, staring at it multiple times over and over. And to the end, she will follow the path...that her heart creates for her.

*"Sometimes the darkness...Has to be the light inside you..."*

## Mukuro Ikusaba

**Tier: Town Level**

**Name:** Mukuro Ikusaba

**Origin:** Danganronpa

**Gender:** Female

**Age:** 19 in Trigger Happy Havoc

**Classification:** Human, Ultimate Soldier, Ultimate Despair

**Powers and Abilities:** Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Weapon Mastery, Master Hand-to-hand combat, Time Manipulation (In the form of slowing down the perception of time around her and speeding up herself), Instinctive Reaction (Whenever in her Battle Trance, Mukuro can unconsciously dodge upcoming attacks, surpassing the mere title of 'Ultimate'), Precognition, Conceptual Manipulation (Shukuchi allows its user to ignore the concept of distance), Pseudo-Flight (Was stated by the narrator to be capable of riding explosions in mid-air), Acupuncture (She is capable of utilizing needles as a weapon and can also use the needles for brainwashing), Blessed (Is given divine protection via the God of War Charm), Resistance to Soul Manipulation (Can purify and protect his own soul with the Fresh Bindings), Intangibility (Can warp through walls with Muramasa), Matter Manipulation (Via Raygun Zurion)

KR: Despair. The most dreadful feeling someone may ever feel. It comes in different variations. Like Despair of losing something precious, Despair of losing someone very close to you, and even despair of losing a chance of something.

**AK211: And in the anime world, even Despair lingers in it.**

KR: The Apocalypse. The most horrifying tragedy that plunge the entire world into a seemingly endless abyss. Everyone dies for the mere idea of seeing despair.

**AK211: Yeah. The mastermind, Junko Enoshima had apparently lost all of her screws.**

KR: But Junko wouldn't have done this all by herself. No, she would require help from people. And with that being said, Enter the most badass military solider: Mukuro Ikusaba.

**AK211: Junko and Mukuro's childhood begun with them being homeless and lived in a very harsh environment as children. And ever since childhood, Mukuro showed a huge interest in the military. In elementary school, she won a survival game tournament and began writing for military magazines.**

KR: Just before entering middle school, Mukuro disappeared while she and her family were on vacation in Europe. People thought she had been kidnapped, but she was never found. In truth, she had decided to join an elite mercenary group based out of the Middle East known as Fenrir, a fierce group of soldiers who engaged in direct combat. Although small for her age, she received military training and became highly proficient in both a variety of firearms and hand-to-hand combat. As a member of Fenrir, she passed through many battlefields but was never wounded.

**AK211: Three years later, Mukuro returned to Japan to be with her sister. Junko had a strong desire to "paint the world in despair" and planned to start the Tragedy, the worst, most despair-inducing incident in the history of mankind. She called herself and her sister the Despair Sisters AKA the Ultimate Despair.**

KR: Mukuro was enrolled into Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th as the Ultimate Soldier, while her sister was the Ultimate Fashionista. Mukuro fell in love with Makoto Naegi, due to him being the first person to ever smile at her. She would often watch him from afar, as she lacked the courage to tell him how she felt. It was because of him that she begun to think more of the world outside of Junko's plans, and it caused her to have doubts when Junko revealed her plan for the killing game involving their fellow students, Makoto included.

**AK211: Mukuro's title is the Ultimate Solider, and as the name applies, she is a professional solider, being an expert in all kinds of firearms, including guns, bazookas, machine guns, grenades, bombs and even more.**

KR: Mukuro also wears a ballistic vest, which protects her from bullets and other wounds that can be sustained in the battlefield.

**AK211: You forgot to mention her undergarments, which is...well...Bulletproof and Blade-resistant...**

KR: Don't....Just....Don't.

**AK211: Whatever. Anyways, Mukuro is also a professional in wielding combat knifes, to the point where she could fight, and defeat Peko Pekoyama, the Ultimate Swordswoman.**

KR: Not to mention that she is very strong physically, being capable of contending against Sakura Oogami, The Ultimate Martial Artist, for ten minutes straight, and was capable of defeating the Madari Brothers singlehandedly, and all by herself.

**AK211: And here we are! Mukuro's special mode: The Ultra Instinct!**

KR: Actually, it's called Battle Trance. In this mode, she becomes one with the battlefield, making full use of the environment around her. The Narrator stated her ability to having eyes all over her body, and that she can ride explosions in mid air, bordering on Pseudo-Flight. Also, the perception of time slows down for Mukuro, where her speed is amplified ten fold, and she can act without thinking, making her capable of dodging without even looking. Her powers also increase immensely, to the point where she was capable of one-shotting hundreds of Monokumas with only a sharpened pipe. The Narrator even stated that at this state, Mukuro can battle it out with a fully serious Sakura to a stalemate; without any firearms or whatsoever!

**AK211: While Mukuro was already way above peak humans in her normal state, this Battle Trance turns her into a machine of pure violence, her mere aura freezing time. In contrast, Sakura's aura when she is fully serious "distorts space itself"! Awesome!**

KR: Mukuro is truly a beast to be feared in battlefield. But even so, she is not without flaws. She is out of touch with her emotions and only knew how to follow her sister. This loyalty eventually caused her downfall as she believed her sister wouldn't betray her, which she did. This also made Mukuro socially awkward so if she gets emotional, she would lose her composure and get distracted.

**AK211: Even so, Once your fate collides with The Ultimate Solider, Be sure that you won't make it out in one piece.**

*"I mean, to be honest...whether or not a flower is pretty depends on the situation, right? It's like... One lone flower on the battlefield, or you almost step on one but pull back at the last second. I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean..."*

## Pre-Battle

KR: Alright. The combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.

**AK211: It's Time For A Death Battle!**

## Death Battle

The scene opens to a destroyed city at night, with the only thing illuminating it was the blazing fire that was resulted from the destruction of various cars, with the buildings and steel bars acting as wood to increase the intensity of the fire. Just in the middle of the fire, a figure emerged from it, smiling proudly.

Said figure was a rather beautiful and well-endowed woman that had blue eyes and light purple hair that was tied into two pigtails. She was wearing a black school uniform that showed her cleavage with the neck tie being loosely hanging from her neck.

"Ahhh....the scent of despair is filling the world. What a relief" She said smiling softly.

This girl was the known and infamous Ultimate Fashionista and Ultimate Despair, Junko Enoshima. Apparently, she enjoyed inducing despair around her with every possible way, and destroying an entire city seemed to be no exception.

"Okay then. This city is done. It's time to make another area feel Des-" Right before she could finish her speech, she was knocked out by a steel pipe to the head. The person who hit her seemed to make sure that the hit would only render Junko unconscious, and not kill her. The figure then emerged from the smoke to reveal herself. It was a female with short black hair, black eyes and freckles around her face. She was wearing a school uniform which consisted of a white short-sleeved T-shirt and a black skirt. She had an emotionless look on her face as she looked at Junko's unconscious form. She then picked her up bridal style, and said only one phrase before disappearing in the wind.

"Sorry Junko-chan. But i, and Makoto-kun need you, and we will fix you. So rest assured..."

*In another place, nearly 40 km away*

"Guys. Mukuro is late. What happened?" Makoto Naegi asked in worry as he was on a bus travelling at astonishing speeds driven by Mondo Owada.

"Don't worry, Naegi-san. Ii'm sure she will be okay" Aoi Asahina said smiling.

"Yeah, Naegi-kun. After all she isn't called the Ultimate Ssolider for nothing" Sayaka Maizono said smiling as well.

As for where Class 77th was heading, they were heading straight for Jabberwock Island to meet with Class 77th to protect the Renments of Despair. As for where Mukuro had gone, she said that she can't leave without her sister. While Junko Enoshima had done unforgivable things like plunging the entire world into a state of despair, she was still her sister, and Mukuro believed that she can be fixed...somehow.

"Yeah. I hope that she is okay" Makoto said.

Suddenly, the bus stopped to a halt, making everyone trip due to the sudden brakes. Sakura ran to Mondo to see what is going on.

"What is it Mondo?" Sakuro asked the Utimate Bike Gang Leader.

"Thee is someone suddenly appeared in front of us in a flash! Just what the hell is this?!" Mondo said angerily.

The figure in question was a beautiful teenage girl that had long black hair that reached below her waist and crimson red eyes. She was wearing a black school uniform that had a white collar and a red neck tie that was loosely hanging from her neck. All underneath a dark brown trench coat. Oh her waist was a katana with with a red handle, a red german cross-shaped guard, a black japanese writing on the hilt that was translated to "One Hit Kill", and a red sheath with a yellow cloth tied to it in the middle. The girl stared at the group with a cold blank look on her face.

"Hey! You there! Move out!" Mondo yelled at the girl while pressing on the bus alarm at the same time. The girl, however, did not budge from her place. A vein popped on Mondo's forehead. He was about to stand up and get out of the bus to make the girl move by force, but was stopped by Sakura, who looked at him and shook her head, telling him not to do so.

Sakura then proceeded to exit the bus and walked to the direction of the black haired teenager. She then stopped meters away from her. Sakura was literally towering the mysterious girl. Not that it intimidated the girl in question.

"Who are you? And what do you want?" Sakura asked the mysterious female, who stared emotionlessly at the Ultimate Martial Artist. Not even a sound was heard after Sakura's question to the mysterious girl as silence was the only thing that was screaming alongside the sound of fire burning through the buildings in the city.

"Not a target" The black haired girl whispered before jumping above Sakura, while running towards the bus at such astonishing speeds that the Ultimate Martial Artist couldn't even comprehend. Sakuro ran as fast as she could to the bus. When she entered the bus, she found all of her classmates knocked out, with Makoto being held on the girl's left shoulder. Said girl turned around to face Sakura, who was fuming in anger at the site of her friends being unconscious.

"I don't know who are you, but no one hurts my friends!" Sakura roared at the black haired girl, before rushing at her with her fist reared back. The girl ran at her assaulter as well, and just as Sakura was about to connect her fist with the mysterious girl's face, the girl slid on the ground, passing right between Sakura's legs. She then jumped out of the bus, with Makoto on her shoulder, still unconscious, heading to the scorched city. Sakura then gave chase for her, but the slender girl proved to be faster than the Ultimate Martial Artist as she ran at speeds that could bring leopards to shame. Sakura kept running after her despite this happening. The chase continued until the mysterious girl sensed danger in front of her, and threw Makoto's unconscious form to the air, before sliding on her knees to avoid a lariat from Mukuro, who happened to be running at the direction of the black haired girl while carrying Junko on her left shoulder. Sakura jumped into the air, picking up Makoto before he could fall on the ground. The girl looked at her new assaulter, and Mukuro glared at her.

"Akame. A hired assassin from an unknown assassination organization. I never thought that the Future Foundation could be so desperate to arrest Makoto and dispatch of me and Junko-chan" Mukuro said to the now known and infamous Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame, who looked at the Ultimate Solider with her usual cold and emotionless face.

"I only need Makoto Naegi. The Future Foundation told me nothing about the Dual Despairs, probably because they thought that you two are still in the city" Akame replied.

Mukuro didn't say an additional word. She just walked to Sakura, and gave her Junko. She then looked at Sakura with a firm look, making the Ultimate Martial Artist nod in respond and understanding, before running with the Ultimate Analyst and the Ultimate Hope in her arms, right to the direction of the bus. Seeing this, Akame zoomed to the direction where her target was retreating, but Mukuro stood in her way, with a Desert Eagle in her hand aimed at the assassin. Mukuro fired at Akame, who dodged the bullet by sidestepping, halting her run in the process. Akame stared at her going-to-be opponent. She then placed her hand on the hilt of Murasame that was fastened to her waist, and unsheathed it. Akame took a swordsman stance and glared at the Ultimate Solider, who responded by withdrawing her pistol, and taking out her combat knife, catching it in a reverse grip before glaring at Akame.

The battle had just started, and only one of them is going to make it out alive...

    In less than a blink of an eye, Akame vanished from sight, causing Mukuro to gasp in surprise before blocking a sword slash from her side. She then clashed against Akame, their weapons clashing against each other and creating sparks that flew in the air. However Akame was having the superior speed, her sword strikes were fluid and extremely fast for the Ultimate Solider to keep up with, as they took the shape of gray and red blurs flying at her with Mukuro being barely capable of blocking them.

Mukuro realized that if she wasn't trained for all of this, she would have been a goner in a second and the battle would end even before it starts. Her opponent has proven that she should not be messed with from the start.

Defense for a long time would prove extremely dangerous, and her opponent left her absolutely no openings.

Mukuro leant backwards with her back to evade a horizontal slash from Akame's Murasame. She then jumped away from the red-eyed assassin, and stood up, entering her battle stance once more.

"You don't seem that your going to give up. I'm giving you another chance to surrender and step back" Akame said emotionlessly to Mukuro, who gritted her teeth at her opponent. She looked around her for something to help her defeat the assassin.

Then a worn out skyscraper came into her view. Its windows were broken and it was a little scorched, but it was still mobile. Mukuro then maintained her emotionless look and stared at Akame.

"No" Was the only reply of Mukuro before she dashed towards the building at superhuman speeds and entered it. Akame just looked at where her opponent went, and sighed in disappointment.

"And here i was trying to avoid unnecessary bloodshed" She said before sheathing Murasame.

"Well, like they always say: You can run, but you can't hide" Akame said before dashing towards the building after Mukuro.

*Inside the building*

Akame entered the building. It was dark and had no lights, not that she cared about it. Akame then unsheathed her sword, held it in one hand, before walking slowly towards the stairs. She reached the first floor. Looking around her, she guessed that it was some kind of a cafeteria. She walked slowly around, Murasame in her right hand in case of surprise attacks. She then looked at the sign in front of her, and read it in her mind.

*"Hope's Peak Academy: Cafeteria"*

Akame realized that she was in some sort of a school. She then kept on walking inside the cafeteria, entering the kitchen section. She then looked around her for any sort of antagonizing. She could swear that she felt the slightest hint of bloodlust. Suddenly, her ear perked, and a pot fell on the ground with a large 'clank'. Akame zoomed to the place where the pot fell, however she wasn't fast enough to stop Mukuro from using her gun to shoot the lamb that was illuminating the kitchen, instantly shutting off the light and rendering both females inside the pitch black darkness. Despite this, Akame still kept her calm, cold and collected look on her face. She then gripped her cursed katana with both hands and moved slowly. She slowly spun around herself to search for her enemy. Mukuro, on the other hand, was slowly sneaking behind Akame. She then gulped the plum in her throat before moving slowly until she was inches behind Akame, who stopped while looking for her opponent, with her hands still gripping Murasame. Mukuro was literally sweating bullets by now. Her opponent was no joke, and one false move meant certain death.

The Ultimate Solider slowly picked her gun and aimed it straight for Akame's head, with the assassin standing in her place, not looking behind her. Mukuro was about to pull the trigger, before suddenly...

"Found you..."

Mukuro gasped in shock and horror as her opponent spun swiftly, and slashed with her cursed katana. Mukuro threw her gun in the way to let it take the hit instead of her. Murasame met with the pistol, slicing it in half. Mukuro then took out a grenade, pulled out its trigger and threw it at Akame, before making haste to the nearby window in the kitchen. Akame, smelling gunpowder, zoomed towards the exit of the kitchen. She made just right in time before the grenade exploded, obliterating the entire kitchen from the inside out. Akame stood up from where she fell, and dusted off her clothes. She then ran out of the cafeteria and on to the next room, knowing that her opponent wasn't done yet.

*Inside the infirmary*

Mukuro got out of the window in the infirmary. She landed on her feet before collapsing on her butt. She then began to take deep breaths to calm herself. If she had stayed for around 4 more seconds, she would have been toast from the grenade that she had thrown. It was a foolish and dangerous move, but it gave her some time to escape from her enemy.

Taking one last deep breath, Mukuro stood up again and began to search the infirmary for anything that would make her able to best her opponent. She then looked at the shelves and found protein and poison bottles.

An idea popped inside Mukuro's head, making her smile before she opened the shelves and took out a couple of poison bottles. She then took out metallic balls that were around the size of marbles, but a little bigger. She then began to fill each one of them with poison before scattering them around the floor of the infirmary. She then took a gas mask and wore it around her face, before hiding inside a nearby closet.

Right at the moment that she entered the closet and closed it, Akame entered the infirmary. She then walked only one step close to the shelf, and her foot hit one of the metal balls that Mukuro scattered on the floor, causing small holes to open up in each metal ball that was on the ground, and the holes released purple gas. Akame gasped, having realized that the balls were gas balls, and what was emitting from them was poison.

And right behind her, Mukuro dashed from the gas screen and attacked Akame with her knife, but Akame's sharp instinct was faster, and allowed her to spin behind her to block Mukuro's sneak attack. Akame pushed Mukuro away from her, and then slashed horizontally, but Mukuro managed to block it with her knife. The Ultimate Solider then pulled another knife from her sleeve and slashed at Akame while blocking her katana, but Akame was faster, and she spun around, kicking Mukuro's hand, disarming her from the newly retrieved knife. Mukuro ignored the pain in her hand which was resulted from the kick that Akame delivered, and began to ran out of the infirmary, right after her the Ultimate Solider.

However, when she got out, Mukuro was nowhere to be found. Akame cursed underneath her breath. She was really getting tired from all of this.

*Inside the swimming pool*

Mukuro entered the swimming pool as fast as she could. She made sure to close the door behind her quietly so Akame won't hear her. She then looked for anything to help her in taking down. She then neared the pool and found that it was full of water. She then looked behind her to see that the door knob was moving, indicating that her opponent is going to enter here at any moment. With nothing to think about and with little to no time in front of her, Mukuro jumped into the pool.

Just when the Ultimate Solider jumped in the pool and the splash sound subsided, Akame slammed the door open. She then moved inside slowly and looked around her with Murasame in her hands. Her gaze traveled around the area of the swimming pool, looking for her opponent. Akame noticed the swimming pool, she then walked to it. When she reached it, she found water droplets around its entrance, indicating that someone had just entered the swimming pool. Akame looked at swimming pool, and Mukuro was sticking to the left corner of the pool, while clutching her nose. She could see the water image of Akame from the surface. She saw Akame looking at the surface of the swimming pool, with her heart racing rapidly in each second. After what seemed like hours, but was actually mere seconds, Akame walked away from the swimming pool. Mukuro would have let out a sigh of relief if she wasn't under the water. Her heart slowly bumped, having thought that she was in peace.

Suddenly, a splash right in front of her appeared. A figure had just landed...It was Akame.

Mukuro gasped in shock, before closing her mouth fast to not take out her suppressed breath in the water. Akame then dashed towards her like an underwater torpedo. With nothing in hand, Mukuro took out one of her knifes and parried Akame's sword strike. Akame then begun slashing wildly and rapidly at her, to the extent that wind blades began slashing underwater, with the Ultimate Solider desperately blocking each assault.

The same pattern kept on playing for three minutes, until Mukuro felt her head becoming light, and the world around her began to spin. She had been underneath the water for three straight minutes, and her lungs were literally screaming for oxygen. All while barely blocking Akame's brutal and merciless assaults.

Trying to find anything to aid her with any possible way, Mukuro took out a smoke grenade from her pocket, pulled the trigger and threw it to the side. The smoke seeped from the grenade can, and buried the entire swimming pool in a thick smokescreen, forcing Akame to stop her assault on Mukuro, who took this chance and quickly got out of the swimming pool. She then crawled out slowly while gasping heavily for breath, with her wet clothes feeling heavy on her due to being soaked in water. She then took a last deep breath before standing on her feet, and running out of the swimming pool as fast as she could before her enemy could caught a glimpse on her.

And at the same time, Akame jumped from the swimming pool and landed on her legs. She then placed her hands on her legs and gasped for breath, having been underneath the water for a long time. She then stood up straight, looking around for her enemy, only to not find her. Akame then gritted her teeth and her left eye twitched rapidly and dangerously, her grip on Murasame tightened heavily to the extent that her knuckles underneath her gloves threatened to draw blood from them.

For the first time ever, Akame felt anger. It was the first time ever that an opponent to her could stall her like this, and run her around all day. Normally, she would dispatch of the enemy immediately on the spot, but this was starting to be ridiculous to the point of annoyance and rage.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Akame dashed towards the door, to pursue her opponent once more.

*Fourth Floor*

Mukuro didn't know how much she ran, but she knew that she had ran up a lot. In fact, she took all the three remaining floors on foot on stairs. She leaned her right arm on the wall, with her left hand on her knee and her head looking down on the floor as she sweated heavily with drops of sweat running down her face and forehead like rain, and she was gasping heavily for breath. She then raised her head and looked around her, only to gasp in shock on what she saw.

Right in front of her, the fourth floor was extremely destroyed. Lockers were smashed apart, walls were badly cracked, the floor was riddled with massive holes in it, as if a raid of elephants were here before.

Mukuro's breath stopped. She suddenly clutched her head in agony with her eyes wide, and she fell to her knees.

*"Makoto..."*

*"Junko..."*

*"Makoto"*

*"Junko"*

*"Makoto!"*

*"Junko!"*

*"MAKOTO!"*

*"JUNKO!"*

 Mukuro's head spiraled between her crush and sister. She wasn't even sure what to do right now. She can return to Junko, and drown the world in despair together...

...Or she can go with Makoto since he promised her to bring Junko with her.

But the question that spiraled between those two choices was...

"What am i? What side i should be on?" She asked herself still on the ground with her hands gripping her head tightly and her eyes closed shut with tears threatening to fall from the corner of her eyes.

"Choose what your heart tells you that it's right"

Mukuro's eyes opened instantly once she heard the voice from behind. She stood up immediately to see Akame looking at her with her cursed sword loosely in her hand. The weird thing was that she looked at Mukuro with a sad look on her face.

"What?" Mukuro asked.

"I have been here this whole time. I think that you should do what your heart tells you that it's right. No matter how much wrong it is in the eyes of other people, if you think that it's right to do, then do it without hesitation" Akame said.

Both females looked at each other silently. They could see in each other that they were common in lots of things, and that they suffered nearly the same fate.

A childhood of death...

...A trail of bodies...

...And a history of blood.

Both saw this, and only a kindred spirit could see it right now.

And in the end...both of them had a goal...

...They wanted to make a better world...

...A world where they can live in harmony...

*"It's because my heart decided that that was correct, i walk the path that i believe in!"*

*"But don't worry. Next time, i'll have you do something much, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch more fun"*

Both had doubts of what they were and what they would be...

But in the end, they must know...

That no matter what...

They must stand on their legs...

For the sake of the people that they love...

...And for the sake of the people that they wanted to love.

Both looked at each other, their faces twisting slowly into a pure and kind smile. A smile that only an innocent kid could sport, with silence being the only thing that screamed between them, before a thunder boom was heard from outside, followed by a ticking sound on the roof.

It was raining.

The smiles of the two fell from their faces, replaced by sad looks. Both females then maintained their battle stances.

"You know...I don't want to continue on fighting this meaningless fight, but..." Akame said before trailing on her talking, gripping Murasame with both hands and pointing it at Mukuro, who nodded at this, before adjusting her fighting stance, with her combat knife in hand.

"But we are opponents in the battlefield. And we must settle this now. Because in the end..."

At this instant, both of them snapped their eyes wide open while looking at each other, before saying the same phrase together.

***"It Has To Be This Way!"***

Without wasting time, both dashed at each other. Their blades met, creating a shockwave that caused more damage to the already broken floor of the building they were in. Mukuro leaned with her back away from Akame to avoid a horizontal swing from Akame's cursed sword. She then equipped a second knife from her sleeve, before slashing with it at Akame, who saw it and dodged the strike to the side. She then jumped in the air above the Ultimate Solider, before kicking off the ceiling to propel herself downwards at Mukuro, who jumped backwards to avoid Akame's stomp attack, which created a considerable crater underneath the red eyed assassin's feet. Mukuro took out an M4A1 out of her own hammerspace, before firing rapidly at Akame, who began to dance and weave around casually around the rain of bullets. She kept on her progress until she was inches away from Mukuro. She then swung her Murasame at the Ultimate Solider, who threw her machine gun at her, causing it to take the hit from the cursed sword for her, effectively getting sliced in half. Mukuro jumped backwards with her teeth gritted. Finding no other solution in hand, she ran away from her opponent, heading straight to the roof. Akame followed suit, knowing that after the roof, there is no way out for her opponent.

*The roof of the Academy*

Mukuro slammed open the door leading to the roof. She then walked away from it, leaning on the railing of the roof, while gasping heavily for breath. She then heard footsteps behind her, and not soon after, Akame was right in front of her. Mukuro looked around her for anything that could help her against her opponent with sweat drenching her form from head to toe, with Akame looking as calm as ever. The Ultimate Solider was in pitiful state. She felt defenseless with death being mere steps away from her.

...

...

...

Wait a minute! That's it! Danger!

Taking a deep breath to calm herself and closing her eyes, Mukuro kept her eyes closed after releasing the deep breath from her lungs, before she snapped them open. Suddenly, time around her seemed to slow by a high bargain. She saw Akame, who was dashing at her, was very slow, to the extent that she felt like watching a film in slow motion. Mukuro then sprung in action, before disappearing from Akame's eyes like a blur, causing Akame to gasp at this, before her survival instinct kicked in, causing her to spin around and position Murasame in front of her in time to intercept an attack from Mukuro, who took the chance of their struggling before slamming her fist in Akame's gut, inflicting the first hit on the red eyed assassin of Night Raid for the first time ever in the battle. Akame was sent skidding back from the attack, which caused her to cough out blood. She didn't have much time to recover as Mukuro appeared in front of her again, before delivering an axe kick to the side of Akame's head, causing her to stumble back. She then executed a flurry of rapid punches at Akame, hitting her everywhere in her body. Her face, head, ribs, arms, legs, torso and chest. Mukuro's attacks were so powerful to the extent that the sheer force of her assaults broke what little armor that Akame had on her arms, alongside tearing apart her clothes, leaving her in her grey top, with her skirt being tattered to the point that you could see her grey panties, along with the nasty bruises that found themselves on Akame's body, and you could easily tell that the battle became lopsided to the favour of the Ultimate Solider.

This was Mukuro's Battle Trance. The form that allowed her to surpass the title of Ultimate.

Mukuro then continued her assault, and knocked away Murasame from Akame's hands, causing it to fly away from her and stab the roof behind her. She then grabbed the red eyed assassin's neck in a vice grip, before delivering rapid and swift punches to Akame's stomach. With each punch, Akame felt that her stomach was going to rip apart. She continuously coughed out blood with each punch executed on her, and couldn't even free herself from the merciless grip of the Ultimate Solider. Mukuro then decided to finish this. She then bearhugged Akame, before flipping her into a German Suplex, slamming her into the ground. Akame heard something snap, and her eyes widened at the sheer amount of force. Mukuro then picked her up causing her to stand on her feet, albeit wobbly. She then spun her arm in a circle rapidly, before punching Akame in the face, causing her to stumble back, with blood exploding from the nasty purple bruise on her right cheek, but she was still standing. Mukuro then re-equipped her combat knife, before dashing at Akame, who was very tired that she couldn't counter Mukuro's charge, before the Ultimate Solider plunge her knife in Akame's gut, causing her eyes to widen before blood bursted from her stomach, and gushed out from her mouth. Mukuro took out her knife from Akame's gut, with said person stumbling back back once again from Mukuro, clutching the grave wound in her abdomen. Mukuro took this chance, and charged at Akame, shoulder tackling her in the chest, causing Akame to cough out more blood as she felt her ribcage being broken apart from the impact, before she was sent flying back off her feet, landing directly beside Murasame that was stabbed into the roof.

Akame shakily rose up to her feet, using her sword to support herself to her legs. Once she was standing on her feet, she rose her head and glared at Mukuro, sho was still in a fighting stance.

Akame then rose Murasame, pointing it to her neck. Mukuro's eyebrow rose up in confusion at this...

...Before she saw Akame cutting her neck with the cursed sword, causing blood to gush out of it.

Mukuro gasped at this, thinking that Akame was commiting suicide. However she gasped again, this time because she saw a powerful dark purple demonic aura surrounding Akame. Akame then rose her head up to the rainy sky, releasing a screech that echoed throughout the devastated city. Black symbols slowly spread around her body, before it faded inside her skin after a couple of seconds, with Akame having stopped screeching. Her body then started to have some outside changes. Her hair became wavier as if it was floating in mid air, red marking appeared around her legs, arms, cheeks and torso, and the sclera of her eyes became black with her red irises having black kanji symbols in them.

This is Murasame's Trump Card in its glory...

The Ennodzuno.

Mukuro froze at the aura emitting from Akame. She could feel that she have became stronger. However she maintained her calm and cold look on her face, took out her knife, and grasped it in a reverse grip. Akame entered a swordsman stance, pointing her sword at Mukuro.

"Time to end this, Mukuro Ikusaba" Akame said.

"Yes. Let's end this, Akame" Mukuro said.

The air froze around those two for a couple of seconds...before they charged at each other, with the pure intent to kill and finish this fight once and for all.

**Dont Blink! The Final Round Is About To Begin!**
The two clashed their weapons with each other, creating sparks in the dark rainy night. The two moved like blurs, their hands weaving and slicing thin air and water droplets, none of them had a shred of hesitation. The two then finished their clash by slamming their blades together, creating a shock wave that blew the rain around them, which in turn caused a force field to emerge around both of them before it disappeared just as it appeared. The two glared intensely at each other. Light Purple to Blood Red. The two then pushed each other away. Akame then charged at Mukuro, Murasame inches away from her neck.

***Shukuchi***

Just as the Ultimate Soldier whispered this, she moved like a blur backwards away from Akame, causing Akame to be taken back by this. This gave Mukuro the chance to take out a pistol from her pocket before she shot at Akame, who nimbly dodged it to the side at the last second. Akame then maintained her standing position, before dashing at Mukuro at speeds that the Ultimate Soldier could barely comprehend. Akame then slashed with Murasame at Mukuro, who threw her pistol at the target of the cursed blade, causing it to be split in half, taking the damage instead of her. Akame then spun around, before giving Mukuro a roundhouse kick to the guts, sending her flying away, and knocking her off the roof. However, Akame saw Mukuro running down at the tall building of the academy.

Seeing this, Akame jumped off the roof, and proceeded to run downwards the building, running towards the Ultimate Soldier.

Mukuro looked behind her, only to see Akame running towards her. She gritted her teeth, and out of her hammerspace, she took out an assault rifle, and started to fire a shower of bullets at Akame, who moved like a blur around the bullet in a delightful display of speed that looked like a beautiful dance. She then reached her, and slashed with Murasame, slicing the rifle in half. Mukuro took out her combat knife once more to block a strike from Akame's cursed sword. She then pushed her, causing her to run at the building once again instead of the free fall display that they made, and the two raced together side by side downwards on the building. The two females then clashed together like cars smashing themselves on each other on the road, and once they were about to reach the ground, both jumped out of the frame of the building, before gracefully landing on their feet on the ground. Mukuro looked beside her, only to see a sharpened metal pool that was cut from one of its ends, causing it to be sharp. Mukuro withdrew her combat knifen and picked up the sharpened pipe. Akame then maintained her swordsman stance. The two then stayed silently in their places, glaring at each other.

Suddenly, lightning struck, causing both females to rush at each other in blinding speeds, creating massive sonic booms that blew away the buildings and wreck behind them away in the air. The two clashed together, creating a shock wave that further blew everything around them. The two began clashing their weapons against each other, creating sparks around them. Lightning struck once again. Mukuro positioned her sharpened pipe in a stabbing position, and stabbed forwards at Akame, who dodged it to the side, but the pipe grazed her cheek, causing blood to splatter from the side of her face. She then slashed with her sword horizontally, aiming to cleave Mukuro in half, but the Ultimate Soldier dodged it, by jumping up in the air. She then landed on the ground, before taking out what looked like a futuristic gun. She then pointed it at Akame, and fired it, causing a green thin beam to project from its muzzle towards Akame, but Akame dodged it to her side effortlessly, before delivering an axe kick, knocking the gun from Mukuro's hand. Mukuro then jumped backwards, and took out a katana from her hammerspace, before she slashed at Akame with it while the sharpened pipe was in her left hand. Akame then positioned Murasame in front of her and the katana, in an attempt to block it, however, much to her shock, the katana phased through Murasame, and slashed Akame's gut, causing blood to burst from it. Akame jumped backwards, and fell to her knees, clutching her bleeding stomach. Mukuro didn't hesitate, and dashed towards Akame, aiming the sharpened pipe at her in a stabbing position. Akame gritted her teeth, trying to overcome the pain, before she jumped backwards, barely missing the pipe that was about to dig a small hole into her skull. Akame stood up, before dashing immediately at Mukuro, who placed Muramasa in front of her, trying to do the same intangibility trick, but Akame ducked underneath the intangible blade, before kicking the katana from Mukuro's hand, sending it flying into the air before it landed on the wet dirt, stabbing itself on the ground behind the red-eyed assassin.

Mukuro jumped backwards from Akame, before she clutched the sharpened pipe with both hands in a vice grip, and charged at Akame, aiming for the Night Raider's heart. Akame saw this and steeled her gaze at Mukuro, before she charged at her, with Murasame clutched in both of her hands, aiming for heart as well. Both placing all of the remaining power and force inside this one last attack, none of them holding back.

Time seemed to slow down as both of them were nearing each other...

And then...

Lightning struck.

And at the same time lightning fell from the sky, the sound of steel cutting flesh could be heard, followed by a blood splatter that flew in the air before it fell down on the wet ground. Rain poured more heavily than before.

The shadows of the two females were in front of each other, standing in silence, before the sound of something metallic falling on the ground could be heard.

Lightning struck again, revealing the conclusion of the clash.

The thing that fell on the ground was Mukuro's sharpened pipe, and while her face was as calm and cold as ever, she was bleeding from her mouth.

The Ultimate Soldier looked down, only to see Akame's Murasame stabbing through Mukuro's chest, right in between her breasts and penetrating her heart.

As for Akame, she looked in silence while still holding the hilt of her cursed sword with both hands, with the pipe that fell at her side having created a gash on her other cheek. She then watched as the cursed black symbols of Murasame spread around Mukuro's body, who felt her life fading at a dangerously high speed rate. Mukuro looked to the dark red rainy clouds, a tear rolled down her eye.

"Ma...ko...to..."

This was the last word that Mukuro Ikusaba, the Ultimate Soldier had said, before her arms fell limb on her sides and her eyes became dilated, becoming devoid of life.

Akame looked at her dead opponent's body, before taking out Murasame from her chest, drawing a sprout of blood. She then caught Mukuro's body before it fell on the ground, before placing it gently on the ground on her back, and closing her eyelids.

There was no goodbye. Both of them knew that from the moment their eyes met. Akame herself didn't want to do this, but this was mercy...in a way. She had just now sent her to the afterlife, allowing her to be free from the hell that she was living in.

But yet...she herself didn't like to kill. She had just killed someone just like her. Both of them could have became friends, but in the end...both of them knew that it has to be this way.

Akame then waved her sword above her head, causing an arc of blood to appear in the air before it faded, cleaning Murasame out of blood. She then sheathed her sword slowly into its scabbard, before looking at her opponent, giving her a mourning moment and a look of respect.

Her body suddenly danced around. The adrenaline now fading and her injures, coupled by the blood loss kicked in her body, causing her to fall on her butt, but her back fell on a piece of concrete, supporting her back, and causing her to fall in a sitting position.

Looking up at the rainy sky, then giving a last look at the body of her opponent, Akame's eyes slowly closed, drifting her into deep slumber.

## Post-Fight Analysis

**AK211: WOW! Talk about climax, but...i'm still sad that Mukuro died...again.**

KR: This battle was...well, it didn't need any explaining. It's obvious who would win. Akame outclassed Mukuro in every single category.

**AK211: Mukuro has the ability to snap a head 180 degrees with her bare hands, but Akame can do that with her goddamn legs! Mukuro can shake rooms with her attacks, but Akame can kill building sized beasts on daily basis just to get food, and that's with her bare hands no less without Murasame!**

KR: Mukuro can move at speeds to the extent that military turrets appear frozen to her. By calculating the speed of the bullets, along with assuming the speed of bullets in front of Mukuro's eyes to be that of a garden snail, which moves at 1 mm/s, we would find out that Mukuro's casual speed is around 2% the speed of light. In addition, she kept up with Sakura Ogami, who can use Shukucki, which allows her to move distances such as from Japan to Prague in one second. Japan to Prague by foot is around 9801 kilometers, and since this jutsu takes only one second, this means that Sakura, and in turn Mukuro's full speed is around 2.5% the speed of light.

**AK211: However, Akame can keep up with Esdeath, who can dodge Mine's laser beams. By knowing the distance between Pumpkin's muzzle and Esdeath, we would find out that Esdeath moved at around 75% the speed of light! This is around 30 times faster than what Mukuro can pull.**

KR: In addition, Murasame is considered way too powerful than any weapon Mukuro would pull. The Raygun Zurion is considered pure light beams, but Akame dodged Esdeath's icicles, which can move at near light speeds. Muramasa can be difficult due to its intangible nature, but it's not like Akame would fall for the same trick twice, and using her speed, she would be capable of catching Mukruo off guard and kick the blade off her grasp.

**AK211: Finally, what was left was their final forms. Mukuro's Battle Trance could give her the advantage in pure physicality against Akame, but once Akame activated the Ennodzuno Mode, everything flipped 180 degrees. Akame's power and strength in this form surpassed Esdeath, who is superior to Tatsumi himself, and if you don't know what Tatsumi did, he sent Shikoutazer, a mecha type Teigu that towers over the highest mountains, flying away with a single punch! This is something that far exceeds anything that Mukuro, or anyone that she fought, including Sakura Ogami, the Ultimate Martial Artist, have pulled off!**

KR: Mukuro did put up a good fight, but she was never match to Akame's superior strength, speed, agility and arsenal.

**AK211: Mukuro couldn't *Soldier* the fact that she *Ultimate-ly* got killed.**

KR: The Winner is Akame.
