Hello everyone, Star here and this will be my first BlazBlue fanfiction. I really hope you like this because I so totally am in love with the game and will do anything to play it again. I only had six days to play with it seeing that I don't own an xBox but I do have the game, which is pretty awesome. LOL But yeah, a brief summary about the fanfiction.
Like at all the beginning of the time loop, Ragna heads to Kagutsuchi, but this time, I'm throwing in my characters into the story. No romantic relationship, just pure adventure, action, and comdey, but of course there will be a few side crushes here and there. Seven Keys, wooo, later in the story, you can tell where I reference the idea from if you read or watch that series. Ohoho~ But, let us start with the story now. Enjoy.
Chapter One; Cave In
-AD 2199/12/31
100 years ago, humanity was facing it's greatest threat. A monster from the dept of darkness, "The Black Beast" as it spread chaos around the world. However, there were six special and strong individuals that seal off the monster and was know as the "Six Heroes". They shared their magic and knowledge to the people and mankind was at once, finally at peace. But peace never lasted long of course.
The organization that the Six Heroes made, the "Novus Orbis Librarium" went to destroy a rebelling group called, "Ikaruga Federation", leading to the second war of magic but the NOL came out victorious as Ikaruga fell and since then, people come to fear the NOL, except for "one" man.
After a year since the war with Ikaruga ended, one man came and destroyed Library Branches. Those who survived said that he was called, "Ragna the Bloodedge."
-End of Prologue
The smell of roses and tea filled up the air. A small girl was sitting in the courtyard, looking at her garden of roses. Her knuckles were pressed against her cheek as she let out a bored sigh. She moved her blond hair out of her face, her hair is usually put up in pigtails with large ribbons, making it look like she was a rabbit. Her ruby eyes was staring at the roses as the petals flew by. It was very relaxing indeed but boring at the same time.
"I'm bored." She stated as she sipped her herbal tea. Valkenhayn, her butler, surely does know what type of tea was good for her on days. She was glad to have him. "Gii, I want you to do a hundred laps around the garden." Rachel Alucard ordered her fat red looking bat. The gummy looking bat looked tormented by the order.
"Bu-But princess.." He couldn't help but whined, but Rachel gave him a stern look that was scary as the bat nodded before floating off to do the laps. He was obviously trying to hold back on his tears.
"Nago, more scones." This time, a rather large black cat opened his eyes, obviously trying to take a nap. He listened to Rachel's orders like there was no tomorrow.
"Of course, princess. I will return within a minute." With that said, the cat umbrella scattered off to the kitchen of the mansion. Rachel didn't say anything as she looked up and stared at the moon. It was beautiful, oh so beautiful but dangerous at the same time.
"The moon never changes. Hiding its scar like a cowardly fool. The stars are much..." Her eyes widened as she stared at the stars. No human eye would have been able to notice but thanks to her strong power, Rachel saw that several stars moved. "Eight stars moved..." The head of the Alucard clan didn't say anything. She just closed her eyes and smelled her delicious tea.
"There might be hope this time..."
Meanwhile, the "Grim Reaper" was heading towards the Thirteenth Hierarchical City, Kagutsuchi, however even Ragna the Bloodedge can make mistakes. The white hair man with the long red coat sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Geez, I knew I should have gotten a map with me, how the hell am I going to Kagutsuchi?" Then again, Ragna has just been wandering around like a fool and just head to cities of random of that he knows has Library Branches. "Guess becoming prepare of things should be a good thing. Even that damn rabbit told me to go to Kagutsuchi, she could be helpful to give me a map. Damn idiot." He mumbled to himself as the Grim Reaper just kept walking down the path, enjoying the smell of seithr in the air. Something that is dangerous for humans that can't use magic if they breath it in too much.
Ragna was now having terrible luck with the weather as it started to rain. He groaned, it was heavy rain and he saw a cave nearby, deciding to take a break, he just headed over there. Sitting down against the wall of the cave and staring out at the rain, his red and emerald eyes were half lidded, trying to stay awake as he put his large bladed sword on the ground next to him. He just yawned,
"Man, why is it so cold?" Ragna looked around and saw at the end of the cave, that there was mist. He just blinked as he stood up, looking at the tunnel. He had a really bad feeling about it but being human, Ragna was curious about what was down there. "Oh, screw it. I want to know what's in there." Picking up the sword, the red clad man put the weapon away behind him before walking down the tunnel, hoping to see that nothing bad would happen.
As Ragna continued to walk down the tunnel, it was getting colder as he could see ice on the ground. He just raised a brow as he continued walking. Hmmm...I wonder what happen here? He thought as he closed his eyes. The Red Reaper wasn't paying attention as he bumped into something really hard. Rubbing his nose, he reopened his eyes and saw a pillar of ice and in the center was a girl encase in ice.
"Is that girl...alive?" He doesn't know because she was encase so it was hard to tell. He put his right hand on the ice and he was having a shock. His surrounding turned black and he was the only one standing.
Ba-dump...
Ba-dump...
Is that...mine or...yours? Pulling his hand away from the ice, he doesn't know why he's doing this but Ragna was still soft. Beside, she only looks like she was only seventeen. "I don't know if you're alive but the Azure Grimorime is reacting to you." Ragna has to be gentle but that wasn't exactly his forte. Using Soul Eater, the ice broke and the girl fell to the ground. Ragna went over to take a good look at her. She had long black hair that goes down to her knees as she had pale skin but her colors were coming back to her. She had a long sleeveless black coat with the collar sticking up, knee high gray combat boots, dark gray shorts, her shirt was gray and it was a wife beater, v-neck but with a fishnet to cover her cleavage as the shirt only goes above her bellybutton. She also had golden dangle earrings and fishnet around her elbows.
Something fell on the ground with a "cling". Ragna looked over and saw a black stick, pole thingy with a silver cover at the end. It was something that Litchi has but skinner. Well, at least she's breathing. I wonder what she was doing in there. Guess I have to wait wait till she wakes up. The white hair man thought as he picked up the girl and the stick, heading back towards the entrance of the cave, hoping to get some warmth for the girl.
Afterward of putting the girl down, letting his red coat being a blanket, the rain lifted up so it was a good thing. Looking back at the girl, he doesn't really have to worry because the seithr int eh air, the reason why people moved up and made cities in the air. Seithr is, in a way poison bu you have to use magic to use up the seithr to be safe. The girl seems to be breathing fine, that tells Ragna that she can use magic as well.
"Okay, wood, wood, and meat."
Twenty minutes had pass and Ragna got a fire going. He was lucky that he managed to find rabbits and killed them so he and the girl(if she ever wakes up that is). After Ragna started the fire, the girl twitched a little as her eyes fluttered open. She had these cobalt blue eyes eyes as the shine for her eyes were coming back to her as the female was slowly getting herself back together. Her hands were clinging to Ragna's coat as she was trying to keep herself warm. She rubbed her eyes before yawning.
"Well, good morning sunshine." Ragna said in his deep sarcastic voice. He couldn't' really understand why he spend his time watching this girl, but he was far too damn curious about why she was encase in a pillar of thick ice. He could tell that she was giving him an intense stare, he could feel it without even looking at her. "Hey, cant you speak? Don't tell me you're mute."
The girl shook her head as she opened her mouth to speak. "Ah..so-sorry." She shuttered at first, biting her lip and gave Ragna an even more serious stare. "Why did you wake me up?" Her head cocked to the side as her bangs were covering her face. "You don't know me."
"Well sorry for waking you up. I never know that sleeping in ice would be so relaxing." The Grim Reaper said sarcastically as he picked up the stick that was holding the cook rabbit. He took a bite out of it. The girl pouted as she crossed her arms from under the coat. It seems like she is the stubborn type that hates losing. Ragna just chuckled at this childish nature of the girl.
Suddenly, a growl was heard under the red coat. The girl blushed in embarrassment as Ragna just blinked and gave a roar of laughter. "Ah, you're hungry?" He waved the meat around in front of the girl as she gave him a glare. "You want this?"
"Sh-Shut up! Don't be so mean...I hadn't been eating since I been frozen up!" She yelled as Ragna was just waving his hand, laughing still.
"Hey, alright alright. I was just joking anyway. As if I'm going to let a poor girl starve to death after getting out of that stupid ice pillar like that. I'm not that mean. Beside, what's your name firs before we get started." Ragna stated.
"What about you? It's rude to ask my name after you got me out of there." The way that girl talked right now was sounding a bit like that stupid rabbit, Rachel. It irritated Ragna but he suppose she's right. The girl could think that Ragna was an enemy and she might be frozen in the ice longer than he thought as he gave her the rabbit to eat. Oh the irony.
"Fine fine. My name is Ragna, if you hear people calling me Ragna the Bloodedge, that's me as well."
"I see. Bloodedge seems to be an awesome title to have. Well my name is Astraea Lai, but just call me Rae."
"Alright then, Rae. Why were you in ice?"
"Can't tell you!" She said cheerfully as the girl started eating, happy to finally got some food in her stomach. Ragna just stared at Rae dumbly but he noticed that the tip of her hair had blue tints. Wow, that must be some pretty powerful hair dye to last that long in ice, but he wonders really how long she's been frozen.
"It's 2199." That made Rae stopped and stared at Ragna with wide eyes. "Your eyes can't lie to me. How many years."
"...over one hundred years." She gave a light laugh. "After the battle with the Black Beast, I guess. Wow, it's been that long..." She frowned. "Dammit...sis..."
"Sis..You have a sister?"
"A twin...my older twin." She sighed.
"Well..I'm sorry to hear that..I know how it feels to lose someone important to you." More than anybody else in the world... Ragna's thoughts drifted to the past. The church of where Sister used to take care of the three of them. Him, Jin, and Saya just played together so much but now that time disappeared and won't be coming back to Ragna anymore. None of that childhood nonsense. Jin...Saya.. Since Ragna was the oldest, he loved both of his siblings dearly.
"Well...if I keep dwelling on the past, my sister would get angry at me, so I can't be depressed." For some reason, what she was saying was a lie but Ragna just didn't' ask anything anymore. This girl was a mystery.
Over on the cliff, long blond pigtail hair flow gently with the wind. Red eyes shone down as Rachel was watching Ragna and the girl. She frowned slightly but it was only for a moment as the corner of her lips crook up to a smirk.
"So the last Key has finally awaken. I hope to meet you again, Astraea Lai, the Key of Mist."
