We shared everything. Our dream. Our will. Our love. The only thing we can't share is our Fate. If we're all fated to die, then what's the point in living.
The reason that we shared everything, so that we can continue to fight for what we believe.
The fight between Ryu, the second rank of the Elite Seven and Merraid Oarburgh, the boss of the entire Oarburgh was underway. No words come from either warriors. Ryu took a step forward, dashing with great speed. He had the fastest reaction speed in the entire team. Tightly gripping the handle of his katana, Ryu instantly close the gap between them to attack. But Merraid took a step back as well, from her back, three wrigglers come out, the Oarburgh woman trying to prevent Ryu from getting close.
But Ryu's instinct and reflexes were greater, he quickly move aside and dodge those wrigglers, his cold glare trained on the Oarburgh woman. The assassin then raises his Prometheus Gun, and fired a three shot towards whom Merraid had deflect to the side. As she did so, Ryu was already close enough to get in her face, him raising his katana as he slashes it down.

Merraid(mind): He's fast indeed. Faster than Akame ever was. But...
Before the blade could hit her, the ground bellow Ryu exploded. It turns out, Merraid had planted explosive ants on the surrounding area and Ryu happens to step on it.

However for Ryu, he had already anticipated the explosive ants before hand. He had studied Merraid's fighting style when they first battled, and Gozuki's battle with her and Akame's own information when she was held captive. So he easily predict the blows and skid himself to the side minimizing the damage as small as possible.
Merraid(mind): He'd anticipated the trap.
Ryu(mind): I've already studied your fighting style.
Ryu close in the gap again, however he noticed Merraid's gaze had landed behind him, but he could guess what it was right away. The three wrigglers that she sent earlier was doing a sneak attack on Ryu. But Ryu had once again predicted her move and three bullets that Merraid had deflected earlier had also come into contact with the three wrigglers surprising Merraid.
Merraid(mind): He prepared those shots from the start for the Wrigglers? What an amazing battle sense he had. As expected of a Vampire.
Finally within range of his blade, Ryu sliced down on her, however he didn't feel his attack connected to his enemies. He realized why when he saw that Merraid had put wrigglers around her stomach where Ryu's attack would have been.
