The world is a small place it seems.

The time, the people so familiar yet lied the darkness.

Darkness filled his heart.

6 years of life was missing ahead of him.

The life of Ninomiya was something that was still a mystery.

Yet he asked for the answer and the only answer that came with it was that he was the king.

But a king of what, and who's successor was he?

In that dream, she stared at him.

Taking the face and the form of the former king.

She told, with that man's voice.

"I am Kage Shomeikatsu Hotaru, the former king. And your father."

.

.

.

.

Ninomiya thought that it must be a joke, Kage is already none existent at that point since the future changed.

But not for him.

The dimension's future was changed, not his own.

Kage was his father all along, his hands lied in his pocket.

He felt something, it was a pair of glasses in his coat's pocket.

Looking at the bright sky, a smile.

"This is my gift to you, for you to remember me.", said she.

The sky had 17 moons, red grass, the trees were red, animal sounds, yet the animals were not biologically accurate to earth.

He saw the horizon, it was never-ending.

His people on the side, all of them with horns, some with 5 some with 6 horns along with tails.

The clothes were primitive so it was easy to tell this was most likely the bronze age.

But the equipment was modern, guns- laser guns.

Something out of fiction it seemed to him.

Then he realised he was on another planet, it must've been his planet he needs to rule.

Not earth,

He saw himself at the side, as a child ready to fight a war that never ended in millennia.

Ninomiya asked suddenly, " How do I regain my memories before I landed on earth?"

She told after reverting to her original woman form,

She got shocked,

"I am just an image, you shall find salvation yourself. The memories are within yourself, all you have to do is forget the present and dive into the past."

She asked with a serious tone, "do you wish to do that?"

A droplet of silence was there for a second.

The moment he made the decision, that he would forget everything in the past 12 years until now and live with the memories of 6 years before.

"Do you wish?", she asked again.

He smiled and closed his eyes, " I just want peace, I don't care about anything else. "

'Forget Who You Are!

Become The One You Are Destined To Be.

Forget The Human Inside You.

And.

Become The Demon Again!'

She said, "Goodbye." for the full and final time.

A smile, she faded away forever.

Releasing the memories hidden deep within him.

On the moon,

Akari stops and looks at the earth below.

So does Akame.

'An Anomaly Detected! Retreat! Retreat!'

Said the A.I. to Akito.

Punches we're stopped, the moon was now almost totally fragmented all there lied was a big rock and the debris all around.

Through Akame's artificial vocal cord he asked Akari, "What is that?"

"My plan all along, humanity was doomed from the start, goodbye Akito,"

replied Akari.

on earth,

The wind blew on the place the elites were on guarding the dead Ninomiya.

Two come for a survey, a woman and a male.

The woman goes closer to Ninomiya, around 40 metres to him.

The man was 45 metres away.

"What did this man want? Peace? Isn't that what Akari said?", said the man.

" No, he probably wanted-

A HEAVY VOICE SPEAKS

"EVERYTHING!"

Said, Ninomiya.

His eyes open-

And was getting up while rapidly regenerating the hole in his chest from the sniper shot.

In a split second-

Everyone was shocked-

The woman saw this and prepared to attack, leaping forward with great force.

The man grabs his weapon and holds that position.

But it was too late, Ninomiya had stopped time.

Everything was stopped, except for himself.

No-

The whole universe maybe was frozen in time.

Stopping power of that magnitude was not near enough,

to stop Akari and Akame.

Akame scanned the area and sent a drone to survey.

After making a portal, Akame retreated.

Akari also made a portal and went to the scene.

Young Hiori who was in the mantle trying to plant a bomb noticed the sudden rise in energy.

Her vehicle, a ship it was. Propelled upwards and destroyed the crust above her, the scene she wanted to see.

But she got frozen in time eventually.

.....

Akari saw, hiding in the side of a rock on the mountain.

The drone was still sending out the video to Akito.

Akame reached earth on the overworld.

She ported right in Akito's survey headquarters.

The moment,

She got her consciousness back and asked, "Did we kill her?"

"No, but a new threat is here."

"All these years of darkness. I finally know who I am.", said Ninomiya with a heavy voice.

He saw in front of him, was that woman who tried to attack him before the time freeze.

He just touched her-

Skin, flesh, muscle, turn to dust leaving blood and bones behind.

The flow of time returned to normal.

Ninomiya grabs her skull along with a scoop of blood.

Drinks it in front of everybody.

Everyone is confused about what is happening,

A woman got killed in front of him without them knowing what happened, they told each other.

"Isn't he human?"

Akari saw in disgust so did Akito.

Akame saw her friend alive but not in his former self.

It took a nice 4 seconds to drink that blood, he grabbed a piece of the femur and dug the soil with it.

"It's been so long since I tasted some blood."

"The taste of blood is not what I remember being this salty. Low-grade organism blood?"

"What planet is this?"

He asks,

But he doesn't need the answer to that, he planted that femur and the skull on it.

"I need to go back, and I need 17 sacrifices. One has already been made."

He looks at the elites, exactly 16 left.

He dashed forward to the man that was closer to him.

He couldn't even take the gun out since he got so scared.

He peed his pants.

Ninomiya killed him even before he could even realise his head had been clean-cut and was in his hands.

He raises his right hand to the soil.

A sword, no a Claymore was made up of the soil on the ground.

"Sorry for your inconvenience."

He states,

Slicing the heads of the elites one by one, drinking their blood at the speed he was moving.

Shockwaves from this foot destroyed the rock below.

A demon was reborn.

It took a single second may be less to do that all.

A swift wind flew past him, fluttering the coat.

It wasn't the natural wind, it was generated by his speed.

Ninomiya sits down, closing his legs.

The femora of 17 people, the blood left of 16.

He piles the bones, flesh, muscle and blood.

A feast for what ritual?

He looks at himself feels his skin, "This world made me weaker."

"I need to return to my original form."

He drank all 16 skulls of blood.

Sitting on the throne he crafted with bones, flesh, and soil.

His Claymore to the side, his eyes filled with complete darkness.

Lifeless pupils,

Laid all 16 skulls down on their respective own femur.

A series of lightning strikes took place around those skulls.

The ritual was beginning-

In the middle of it was Ninomiya, he stimulates his senses.

The bones in his body were cracking.

Two horns on his head grew slowly and a tail popped out from his back.

The cuts under his eyes turned into an extra pair of eyes small but still eyes.

He felt his pocket, spectacles.

He put them on.

"I know you are hiding behind, come forth. You are of my race, I mean no harm to you. Let's make our planet beautiful again.", said Ninomiya.

" Fine, let's go back to our ancestral home."

, said Akari with a smile.

.....

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

In the overworld-

A faint altered voice, slowly gaining weight and pitch.

"And that part, and that.-

Perfect- as all she should be."

Akame opened her eyes, she saw what was not possible.

Future Hiori, with a burnt head. Probably from the blast that Akari gave her.

Her voice was cracked, it sounded like she had a nightmare.

A sinful smile,

"The perfect machine now you are. The project of my life, the ideal machine."

Akame tried to fight back, "Why did you do it?"

Akame understanding what she has become and looks back at the logs.

"The command why did you type it?", Hiori was asked by Akame.

She was crying even though she was a machine, kill me please is what she begged.

A sin she won't commit,

On the corner was the corpse of- Alice.

She got scared of Hiori, who she was.

Crying,

"Why did you do it? Why Why Why Why? Hiori why? Why did you kill that woman, she was a baby of a child.

.

.

.

.

Please, tell me what are you trying to accomplish."

asked Akame,

Alice's corpse is at the corner of her lab near the trash bin.

Akame wondered why Hiori killed her, she was just a friend.

To Hiori it was no big deal.

Hiori took a cigarette, smoking

"Ideal machine project was not a project for eliminating Akari. It was for him. Now sleep and never wake up, once the command is initiated. You will become the first person in this universe to kill a being above God.", Hiori answered the question that Akame asked.

Akame was now angry,

" Why.... did Alice have to die in this?", asked Akame.

The wall shook, along with the ground. Akame was raged.

EFFICIENCY: 94%

She broke the chains that bonded her, the machine that can end this all.

Hiori got scared and said, "Command initiate.-
