"May Y/N and the team led by Akame please report to Zenith Krakveek at the beacon. This is a matter of utmost importance." I groan as I throw off my sheets, I don't think there is anything worse to wake up to. No wait, Rias trying to kill me definitely wins. What could he need us for so badly? Rei is still asleep beside me, lying on her front her back slowly rising and falling. I throw on my clothes and leave the grey room and sleeping Rei, she could probably use the rest.

When I arrive at the beacon the group led by Akame is already there and waiting inside the room Karl always resides in. "I am so sorry." Samantha speaks her short black hair bobs as she approaches us. She walks into Zenith's area leaving us to ponder on what she said. "Who is she?" The pink haired girl who I've come to know as Mine asks.

"Oh, her. She's Samantha Arachnid the interdimensional assassin known as the Spider." Karl sits in his casual position on the sofa his eyes enchanted by the dancing colours on the screen. "And I'm Karl Inquisitor son of Lucifer/Satan/The Devil people call my father many things. I can also read your mind." Mine looks slightly taken aback by the Demon resting on the sofa. When I first met Karl I do have to admit I was also wondering why Zenith has Lucifer's son working for him, but then again he is an Interdimensional nine foot tall cockroach so I thought it best not to question. My life has gotten so strange since Zenith saved me and the first group and now he only wants to speak with us five. But for what reason. From what I had gathered none of us are very different from the others. Me, Akame, Tatsumi, Mine and Leone, they seemed like the other weirdos and I'm me. "You may enter." Karl tells us, one day I will have to ask him how him and Zenith communicate like that.

Inside the room we are not greeted with the familiar blue screens and security footage. But instead an array of weapons sits behind Zenith, by the looks on the other's faces they're their weapons. "I'm am very sorry." Zenith starts off more morose then usual, "I didn't know, we were wrong. All our predictions said yesterday but it wasn't it will be over tomorrow." Now we are all confused, is he talking to someone else? "Akame." He catches her attention "Your world isn't dead." She looks shocked with the rest of her friends. "But it is dying, I have called you to make a decision. Either we sit here safe and sound or we make Planetfall and save as many others as we can. The teleporter won't work as the invasion has already begun. But I also must tell you, there is someone there who will be a great help in the days to come. But I am leaving the decision to you five..." And I thought they looked shocked before, grief, fear and happiness washed over each of them while I just stand and think. "We will do it." I tell him, knowing the risk I am putting us in, but the people we could save. "Very well, I trust you know which weapons are yours so please take them. Y/N I give you this." He hands me a rifle. "A disintegration rifle will kill most things in one shot. Sort of like your blade Akame except much less supernatural. If you are hit my this your molecules will disperse. So only aim to kill wounding will not work with this gun." He picks up a chest and places it down, inside are a bunch of clothes, probably belonging to the group. "Y/N I have this for you." He holds up a set of combat armour and throws it to me. "let's get ready. This will be tough for all of us."

"Will you be accompanying us?" Tatsumi asks.

"Of course, wouldn't miss it for the world." Zenith's mouth moves into what may be a grin of some sort and he leaves the room. We get ready.

Zenith stands with all five of us on a circular platform. He has no weapons on him, Akame holds a katana and wears mostly red and back. A colour scheme Zenith seems to approve of. Tatsumi wears a light brown jumper and a white shirt very peculiar for combat gear, his sword is flat and double edged. Mine is in a pink dress, with a large gun, I've heard she is a most ferocious sniper. Leone wears, I am unsure of how to describe it, I will just go with a revealing outfit. I do not see a weapon on her but she does wear a strange belt. Clutching my gun close to my body I shiver with fear and anticipation. "Are we ready team Bravo-Pink?" Zenith asks, why he insisted on calling us that I will never know, regardless we each nod. He nods at a Rachne beside a control panel and everything goes dark.

Then...I hit the ground. Sounds of explosions and the black sky surround me. Zenith helps me up and we all stare at the carnage, spaceships bombard the ground throwing flames into the skies. "This is the way the world ends. Not with a war, not with a bellowing roar. But with a sad pathetic whimper as its life is extinguished. Let us proceed to where the deities of heaven may not tread. Let us be protected by the blaze of a million suns. Let us survive." I don't know if Zenith was praying or just hoping but he made me feel even more nervous. "Follow me, my source is nearby." Zenith treads across the blackened ground, the sky I thought was night is infact the end of the universe. No stars, no sun. No nothing. Just an inky blackness, and us the last remaining forces in existence.

We arrive at a coliseum of sorts, a dome of ice covering the top and inside the sound of a ferocious battle. "In there." Zenith speaks in simple short sentences, but I guess that's expected at the end of everything.

Stepping inside, a blue haired girl fights against many foes. All holding the same dark voidlike appearance. No eyes, just shadows with a silky smoke emanating off them. They still die. "Tatsumi. Why are you with night raid?" She then realises me and Zenith. "And who is this revolting thing. It doesn't matter... The weak will die." A spike of ice hurtles towards me and Zenith but he barely reacts. I leap out the way and it smashes into Zenith releasing a thick fog around him. "You bitch!" I spit at her and wildly fire the rifle in my hands.

"That almost hurt." A familiar voice growls. Zenith walks out of the fog much to the surprise of 'night raid' "Weakness is not bad human. Weakness is good. It is what makes you humans so special your ability to care for the weak. You deny the laws of nature and help the weak. But you. You are the weak one here." He stands facing her, his four arms cracking their knuckles and his wings opening up. "How dare you?!" She snarls at the cockroach. A deep chattering resides in Zenith's throat and the ground shifts under his command. "After fourteen billion years one has a habit of learning magic." The woman is knocked to the ground by the moving earth, while she's on the ground Zenith grabs her by the throat and holds her in the air. "I'm sorry but I can't have anyone endangering Y/N." Zenith's grip tightens and she tries to wriggle free of his grip only tightening his grip even more. "Stop!" Someone new shouts and kicks Zenith backwards freeing the woman. "Desmond. I was wondering when you'd show up." The roach chuckles.

"This human must live." Desmond folds his arms standing in front of her. He looks at me with a certain interest and confusion, then shakes it off. "So be it. We have retrieved my contact. And another person from your world, you will all meet me here in half an hour or you will be left behind. Search for more survivors. Desmond keep Y/N safe. I will attend to our new refugee." Zenith strolls over to the woman and begins to speak to her.

"Come on kid." Desmond drags me along with a deathly pale hand. As we look for survivors. "So Y/N what was your dimension like?"

"Well, I don't honestly remember that much about it. It's like I've forgotten anything outside of the void." I tell Desmond trying to remember my childhood. "Yeah, that's what happens. Outside of your own dimension you start to forget about it. I knew a guy once, son of a God. In fact I travelled with him long before Zenith, even Zenith travelled with him. But he forgot why he left home and for what cause. For some reason arthropoid races are immune to the effects of the void. So Zenith and all those Rachne he keeps haven't forgotten anything." Desmond looks saddened, I guess he's forgotten many things about his home. We can hear cries of happiness from Akame and the others I suppose they must've found someone. A black ship crashes to the ground some miles ahead of us, flame sprouting from its wreckage.

Desmond pulls me back and drags me towards Zenith. The others have gathered back here despite half an hour not passing. "What's going on?" I ask being the only person not knowing what's going on.

"That's what's going on!" Zenith points to a colossal black ship blocking out the sky. He then presses a button on a controller...

...and then we're back on the ship.

Zenith congratulates us but gets to talking to Desmond leaving the rest of us to ponder our own existence. The person that 'night raid' found without us is a girl named Sheele. They're very lucky that they managed to go back home, even just once. I can barely remember mine. I decide to just go back to bed. Maybe Rei will still be there, I thought but she isn't. So I'm alone, for the first night in a while. Slowly I drift into sleep.

"...I'm sorry I used you Y/N. But I had to try and save him. I never realised that he was far beyond that. Maybe one day I'll have the courage to say this in person." Someone is in my room, that is my only thought, but I soon realise who it is. "Mikasa?" I ask and she freezes, and I freeze, we both freeze. My head still lying against my pillow, she slides into bed behind me, her breasts against my back. Everything seems strange, and I'm still tired so we both sleep.

Author's Notes - Ha, no lemon, because I'm a fucking cockblock also you've already had like three lemons today from my other chapters. I just want to finish this chapter and get it out so you know I still care about this story. Zenith Out...
