Chelsea was not having the best day of her life and it could have easily been the worse day of her life. Ever since Night Raid had found the location of the two Teigus the group had been trying to come up with a valid to acquire them. So Chelsea had been nominated to play the scapegoat and she was currently running through the streets rapidly changing her appearance in hopes of escaping the ice tyrant. The plan was to try and bait her into a trap to where all of Night Raid would surround her but the stupid blue knight had accompanied her and was holding the other members of Night Raid at bay.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the city, both Akame and Kurome were making the most of their allies distraction and had made their way towards the palace. Even with Chelsea somehow managing to keep Esdeath at bay the rest of the Jaegers would still be nearby. Luckily those would be their only threats as Akame and Kurome were far too stealthy for the incompetent guards to notice.

So here the two girls were as they silently picked their way through the castle and tried to find their destination. So far they have had no serious trouble but knowing their luck they would be discovered soon. And just as predicted a pair of voices sounded around the corner they were approaching forcing the two girls to poorly hide behind a pair of curtains. They held their breath as the voices passed and they were able to identify one of them belonging to Run but they couldn't tell who the other voice belonged to only that it was male.

"And you're sure you didn't see anything?" The mystery voice asked.

"As I've said many times I was gone before anything happened," Run said in a tired voice. Judging by how the voices weren't fading or growing the two individuals had stopped moving.

"A pity then, I would have loved to have tested myself on whoever could bring down Seryu and Koro." The other voice said in an almost hungry tone.

"Sooner or later you are going to bite off more than you can chew," Run told the other person.

"A day I look forward to." A single set of footsteps started making themselves known as one of the two individuals disappeared. Both girls weren't sure what to do but before they could decide anything their choice was chosen for them.

"You two can come out of hiding," Run called out causing both girls to mentally curse as they stepped out of hiding.

"How did you notice we were there?" Akame asked as she drew her metal blade as Kurome copied her motions.

"My companion showed through his facials expression that we had visitors." Was the blonde's answer as he didn't seem concerned at all by the two girls drawing their weapons.

"And he just walked away without trying to kill us?" Kurome questioned knowing that wasn't likely.

"Snow probably didn't care, he only exerts effort into things he finds entertaining," Run replied earning a wide eyed looked from the girls. The son of Esdeath had been less than a couple of feet from them and he didn't try to kill them. That alone was enough to start ringing alarm bells in their mind.

"What about you then? Are you going to fight us or summon the others?" Akame asked as she prepared to strike.

"Actually neither I intend to help you." Akame nearly dropped her sword as she heard this.

"This has to be a trap," Kurome stated as she eyed Run wondering what he was doing.

"It seems that way but I assure you I bear no Ill intent. After all, during our last meeting, I did say we wouldn't meet in the same way." Run said as he held his hands up in a friendly manner.

"That could just mean you plan to attack us since you didn't when we last met." Akame deadpanned.

"I see your point so how about I lead you towards Esdeath's study since that is more than likely the reason you are here." He said as he started walking the way he had came from. Both Akame and Kurome wanted to stab him in the back but they had no choice. If they stabbed him they would find the body plus there was a chance of him fighting back meaning that their stealth would be broken even faster. Plus he knew the way to their Teigus would it would take the two of them much longer to find them.

"He hasn't lied to you yet." Akame' told the two.

"And you couldn't have said that during the conversation?" Akame responded mentally.

"I could but I really don't care." Was all she said before returning to silence. So with the confirmation of Run telling the truth, they followed him down the maze-like corridors.

"So why are you helping us then?" Kurome asked him as they walked. She noticed how his eyes darkened slightly at her question and she was afraid he wouldn't respond.

"I had many reasons for joining the Jaegers," Run began. "My main one was for revenge which I did complete but my other was to change this twisted country from the inside. I see that is no longer possible so what choice do I have but to either become a hypocrite or help those that can still help retain some part of my dream." Neither of the sisters didn't know what to say at his revelation. Luckily for them, they didn't need to since they had arrived at their destination.

"So they're in here?" Akame asked as Run summoned his wings and grabbed a feather as he began to pick the lock with it.

"Yes, and we need to hurry." He replied as a click was heard and the door swung open. The room wasn't what they were expecting and was actually quite nice but the two girls main fixation was on the multiple Teigu that adorned the wall. Their eyes quickly snapped to two blades crossed over one familiar and the other not so much. They rushed forward and grabbed the two blades but that moment didn't last long.

"I'd always figured you would go traitor Run." A cold voice said as the trio turned around to be met by a white haired individual. His face had a sadistic smile plastered on it as his familiar ice cold eyes scanned them.

"So you were expected this," Run stated as he gazed at Snow.

"Of course I was which is why I allowed you to get this far. After all, a fight with three Teigu users should be interesting." His gaze then looked at the two black haired girls. "I don't know how you're alive but I am going to kill you again and mount both of your heads on a pike." He sneered at the two as the temperature in the room dropped rapidly. Run's eyes widened as he realized what was happening and brought forth his wings as a shield just in time to soften the impact as a colossal snow fist slammed into them pushing the trio out the window. Run's wings had taken quite the hit and had barely managed to land properly unlike Akame or Kurome whose reflexes granted them an easier landing from the fall.

"Oh, you survived?" A voice said and the three saw that Snow had already joined them on the courtyard.

"I guess we have to fight," Akame said as she readied her blade and rushed forward. She and Snow began to trade blows while Run did what he could with his broken wings. Kurome, however, was staring at the blade in her hands trying to figure out just exactly what it could do.

"Any idea how this works?" She asked her counterpart hoping for some advice.

"I have no idea so have fun with that." Was all Kurome' said.

Kurome cursed her counterpart as she began focusing on any sort of energy inside her blade. Her eyes widened as her blade flashed purple momentarily blinding her. When her vision returned she saw an identical version of herself.

"Of you have got to be kidding me." The doppelganger said.

"Kurome'?" She asked the other.

"Apparently." The other stated as she reached forward and grabbed Yatsufusa and concentrated. The blade flashed again and standing beside Kurome' was a copy of Akame.

"Well, this is rather useful." Akame' stated as she examined her new form. The trio heard an explosion and turned to see that Akame had been knocked back by a giant ball of ice and snow.

"Shall we?" Kurome' asked Akame' who had stolen Kurome's regular sword.

"We shall." Was all she needed to say as the two undead sisters made their way towards the fight. The others who had not noticed what was going on due to the fight were surprised to see what had been happening.

"What is this?" Snow asked as if he both wanted and didn't want to know what he was seeing.

"Just a little reunion of sisters." Kurome' replied.

"Although I don't know how this is possible all I see is more opponents." Snow said with a grin as a set of ice armor formed around him and a snow claymore appeared grasped in both of his hands. "I guess I will be getting serious now." Without warning, he rushed the two forcing them on a heavy defensive immediately. Luckily this bought just enough time for Kurome to help Akame up.

"Do I even want to know?" Akame said as she gave Kurome her steel blade.

"My Teigu can apparently bring the dead back to life." Was all Kurome said as the two of them joined their doppelgangers. Run who was just as confused as Snow was had just watched the scene unfold but finally shrugged his shoulders and decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth so he too rejoined the fight. With it no being five versus one even Snow was having a bit of trouble handling himself but his smile was growing by the second.

"Excellent, excellent! Show me your power!" He exclaimed as spires of ice and snow shot of the ground forcing everyone to evade. As more spire shot from the ground, an additional set shot out of the already formed spires causing the quintet to start gaining more injuries.

"Even outnumbered he is this much of a threat!?" Akame asked as she felt a spite slice across her back.

"We need to get the heck out of here!" Kurome' stated as she cut through a spire seconds before it impaled her. Their evading continued for another minute as they thought of what they could do before run finally fell from the sky as both of his wings were pierced. He landed right in front of Snow whose sadistic grin turned feral at the sight of his old comrade.

"And so the first to fall is you how appropriate." He taunted as the spire of ice finally stopped coming. He took his time walked towards Run who was trying in vain to get back up. The sisters wanted to do something but the spires had wounded them and sapping most of their remaining energy. By the time they would get to him it would already be too late.

Run knew he wasn't going to be getting out of this alive so with what was left of his strength he called out, "Just escape while you can!" He barely finished that sentence before a ice spike impaled his brain. The cold laughter of Snow rang out as he looked at the corpse, he began to form more spikes and continued the impalement of the blonde. This, however, gave the others a chance to escape which was what ironically both parties wanted. As the sisters left Snow looked at where they once were and said,

As the sisters left Snow looked at where they once were and said, "Come back again little girls and next time bring your friends. I will enjoy tasting all of your blood." With those words said he resumed playing with Run's corpse.
