Akaro's POV:

The world is coming to a end and the only way to stop it is by killing my own daughter, i make my way to the top of the emperial palace where i find my little Akame just standing there waiting for Khaos to come through the crack in the sky. "Are you really gonna try to stop me? All i'm doing is trying to bring my mother back to life" she says with a serious tone as she pulls the murasame from it's sheath and gives me a death stare.

"This Khaos may be all powerful and he may be able to bring the dead back to life but...Akame are you really willing to let everyone die just so you can bring your mother?" I ask with a serious tone.

"You don't understand! Exceed made me kill her and i just can't live with the pain of killing my mother" she says as she charges at me and tries to hit me with a barrage of murasame slashes but i evade all of then with ease.

"Akame i can tell your holding back but i won't do the same" i say as i call down lightning storm right on top of her, using her impressive speed she's easily able to dodge, i continue to send out attacks but all she does is evade then.

"You say your not holding back when you clearly are..." she says as she looks at me waiting for me to send out another attack, i close my eyes and i realize the truth...i will never able to kill my own daughter and my daughter will never be able to kill me. But that limit only applies to me...not Esdeath.

A few days ago

"Akaro listen up, after taking a look at your blood sample and maping your brain i've come up with the conclusion that your body is 75% teigu and 25% human this means your body can do anything a normal human would be able to however thanks to your teigu side you have a arsenal of abilities but the most intersting part is..." the doctor stops and looks at me with worried eyes.

"What's wrong doc?" I ask.

"From birth you had two sides, two souls, Esdeath and you, but here's the thing you and her have become so...entwine that i fear you may end up literally becoming Esdeath, sir" the doctor says with a serious worried tone.

"Becoming Esdeath huh well it's true my soul has become one with her's but i'm still me right?"

"You are...but sir if one day you were to face a challenge beyond your skill that may end up awakening her essence in your soul and the moment that happens...".

"I become her...well i doubt something that bad will ever happen" i say with a smile on my face.

Present day

I really hoped this day wouldn't come but you leave no choice little one, i open my eyes and a light blue aura surrounds me as i activate my kamui and let all of it's power out at once causing a energy vortex to form around me. A sadistic smile crosses my face as i feel Esdeath's essence invading my mind and i let it take control.

Esdeath's POV:

Alive...

After being dead for nearly 800 years and stuck on Akaro's body for more then 20 years...i'm finally in control. Using the power of the Gaea foundation teigu i change my body's appearance to that of my old self.

"Esdeath?!" The girl in front of me asks with a desparate look in her eyes, "your Akame right?" I ask as i summon a ice sword, the young girl cuts herself with the murasame's blade activating it's thrump card, demonic markings cover her body and her eyes become black and red and black angel-like wings come out of her back as her skin becomes as hard as the incursio armor. Lightning and fire start flowing through the murasame's blade as this young Akame charges at me and tries to hit me with her sword, i snap my fingers causing a massive ice spike to rise out of the ground and hit Akame in the stomach, her armored skin stops the spike from doing much damage but it is enough to stun her.

"I would love to see how far you can go little Akame but you see i'm in a hurry" i say as i teleport up to her, freeze her lower body and quickly take the murasame from her hands. I pin my ice blade against her throat and i ask "any last words little Akame?".

"Don't underestimate me!" She shouts as a giant blood red explosion of pure power breaks the ice apart and blasts me a couple of feets back, "So you finally unlocked your kamui...your truly amazing Akame your dad would be proud" i say with a sadistic tone.

"Don't talk about my father you stupid bitch!" She shouts as she charges at me with a powerful red aura around her, i evade her attacks but her speed keeps increasing every second, this girl...what the hell is she?.

I snap my fingers summoning a ice dragon that falls right on top of her followed by a rain of lightning dragons but using her ever growing speed she manages to dodge my attacks. "Huh looks like underestimating you was a mistake...your a genious when it comes to fighting little Akame" i say with a smile on my face.

"Khaos is almost here and soon my power will surpass yours...i won Esdeath" the young girl says with a arrogant tone in her voice as she stares at me with her red eyes. Memories of long ago invade my mind as i ask her "Akame, what are people to you?".

She stops and thinks but remains silent, "that was the last question the Akame from the original night raid asked me during our fight more then 800 years ago my answer back then was...i don't understand a single word your saying" i say with a serious tone.

"Why are you telling me this?" She asks.

"You remind of her only difference is that unlike her your very easy to manipulate" i say as i snap my fingers summoning a giant ice meteor on top of her, she teleports out of the meteors range and for a split second she lets her guard down which was more then enough for me to activate the makahadoma to freeze time, teleport up to her and drive my blade through her hip. The young girl falls to her knees and looks at me with her red eyes "do your worst" she says as she closes her eyes and waits for the final blow, i prepare to drive my ice blade through her skull but before i can do so my hand stops by itself.

"What are you doing Akaro? This girl needs to die" i say as Akaro starts taking back control of his body, "I've made my decision, i'm going to stop Khaos without killing Akame".

"Are you insane? Khaos is an all powerful being no matter how powerful you are you'll never be able to beat him" i say trying to make Akaro come to his senses.

Khaos finally enters our dimension and prepares to destroy but before Akaro takes over.

Akaro's POV:

My body returns to it's normal form, i look at Akame now bleeding to death with a blade stuck across her hip then i look up and i see the omnipotent giant about to destroy evetything, this battle is lost but the war is not over yet, i quickly grab Akame and i shout "makahadoma".

The makahadoma thrump card activates but this one does much more then freeze time...it sends both me and my daughter back in time. I wake up on top of the palace, the night raid day celebration was still happening, i look down to the capital and i see my past self on stage doing his night raid day speech. I turn around and i see Akame slowly healing from her wounds, she look at me and says "I'm sorry" i remain silent and look at her with disapointed eyes.

We now have a few hours to find a way to defeat Khaos without causing a Paradox...
