An idea that began as a crack fic, but I decided to take more seriously. For once, I have to have more than one chapter, and no drunken bitches raining from the sky! Oh well, do enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Blazblue, trains, or anything at all.

Nothing. That was all he could see right now. The last thing he remembered was enjoying a meal at Orient Town's usual restaurant, with the company of Taokaka. Yes, that one glutton. They had become better friends over the weeks, and eating at that restaurant had become a daily thing…as long as Taokaka managed to gain enough money to pay for herself.

But now, Ragna asked himself, where was he? As he got used to his surroundings, he began to see what was around him, if only faintly. He stood up, taking a deep sigh.

"What the hell is this place…"

He scrambled along the area, and managed to find a small light switch. The room lit up before him. He placed a hand over his forehead to block out the sudden surge of light. It looked like…a storage cabin. The sort you'd see in…

"Am I…in a train?"

The cabin was quite small in size, and had but a few boxes in it. Ragna noticed his sword wasn't with him, and suddenly he felt uncomfortable. How had he gotten there? Why hadn't he just been killed instead? He scourged a few of the nearby boxes, and got his hands on a crowbar. He reluctantly decided that would have to do. He went towards the door and…

"Tch. Bastard's locked…I'll just have to kick it down!"

*TWACK* *TWACK* *TWACK*

"Shit! This door's sturdy as hell! …Well, there must be something I can use to open this…"

Ragna used the crowbar to open the, to him, previously impossible to unlock doors. There was a small box with a dial to input a password, and a jigsaw puzzle's pieces in one of the boxes.

"Who's the bitch that's making me do all this shit! God damn, I hate jigsaw puzzles!"

Ragna cracked his brain, and began to work on the jigsaw puzzle. It took him an approximate of…10 minutes. He could make out the number 1231. He dialed it into the box swiftly.

*Click*

"Hell yeah, it opened!"

And there, there was a key. He was glad this shit was over. He wasn't one for thinking a lot. He tried it out on the door and…yes, it worked! As he twisted the knob, crowbar in hand, Ragna was determined to find out just what the hell was going on.

As he got out of the small prison he had unwillingly been thrown in, Ragna found himself in a small hallway. There was but a dim light on the ceiling. It was quite a narrow hallway. Ragna was further convinced by the scene that he was on a train. He looked out the window…but it seemed to have been sealed off by some metal plate. He could see not a thing of the outside world. Satisfied with his search, he opened the door to the next room…

…

"Good guy! GOOD GUY, HELP ME!"

"Ah shit."

Before Ragna, was Taokaka. It seems they had both been dragged along for this messed up ride. It made sense, though. Given the circumstances, however…he couldn't be that happy just yet. Taokaka was tied to some weird device in the ceiling, and there was some...Fish Soup in a giant pot? The smell filled the entire room, and Ragna was getting nauseous.

"Okay Tao, don't worry. I'll get you down and-"

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

"What the fuck does this train want now!"

"Good guy! TAO DOESN'T LIKE THIS MEOW!"

Ragna would've expected Tao to slowly descend into the boiling pot…but instead, the pot was slowly being raised upwards. Huh. The result would be the same, he guessed. Maybe the kidnapper wanted to be more…original?

"Good guy! Stop thinking about stupid crap and bring me down meow!"

She was right. A hot, steaming pot of fish soup was going to burn Taokaka to death! Ragna had to think, and fast. He glanced over the room quickly…There were no crates, or furniture at all. All he could see was…a punching bag.

"Hang in there, Tao! I'll be right back!"

Ragna ran over to the punching bag. There was a weird device at the bottom of it. A small paper was taped onto it. Ragna leant over, snatched it, and began reading it quickly.

'To Stop. Remember the 4 basics of boxing. Deliver in this succession.

J C J H U C.'

"What the FUCK? J…C? I know shit about boxing!"

Then Ragna remembered. Before some battles, Taokaka had the habit of shadow-boxing to prepare herself. Maybe…Maybe Taokaka was the answer to this puzzle? Ragna never thought the day he'd depend on Taokaka for an answer would come, but he had no choice. He ran back to Tao. The pot was at least halfway through its rising path of doom.

"Tao! What do you know about Boxing!"

"Beouxing, Meow?"

"No you dumbass, Boxing! Where you punch people in the face and shit!"

"OH! You mean the secret Kaka Special Fighting Technique that has been passed by the Cat Person generation to genera-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TELL ME! THERE'S NO TIME!"

"M-Meow…Okay, meow! In the KAKA SPECIAL FIGHTING TECHNIQUE, the Cat Person told me there were four things I must ALWAYS remember meow!"

"Yeah, yeah. What are they?"

"Jabs, Cross hits, Hooks and Uppercuts! Cat Person says that if I master them, I can beat even Jiuuujitzu masters, meow!"

"Hrm….That's it! Thanks Tao, hang in there!"

Ragna couldn't waste any time. Taokaka was THIS close to being submerged in smelly, hot fish soup. He approached the punching bag machine, and read over the note one more time.

"Jab, Cross, Jab, Hook, Uppercut, Cross. Right? Let's do this shit!"

And so he did. Ragna punched the shit out of the punching bag, he remember Jubei speaking about these very attacks once. It seems they would be useful after all. After delivering the last hit, he head the ever-comforting *Click*. He sighed in relief and turned around. The pot had stopped. A small platform suddenly appeared, and Taokaka's chains broke. Thankfully, she was safe in no time at all.

"You did it, Good Guy! Thaaaaaaaank you, meow!"

"Uh, yeah. Sure. But we can't be happy just yet…Oh, that's right! Do you remember anything from before we got stuck in this mess?"

"Um…nope, meow. I was just eating and eating and eating and eating, as usual!"

Ragna scratched the back of his head. It's not like he expected –Taokaka- of all people to have any answers to this thing. That meant he had not progressed at all. He guessed all they could do for now was move forward.

"Oh, Good Guy! I forgot…I found these in my pocket!"

In Taokaka's paw there were two keys. If Ragna's deduction was correct, they were two keycards. They both had different emblems. He was sure he had seen them before…One looked like a cat's face, so he assumed it to be Taokaka's. On the back, it had a "V".

"Here, I think this is yours."

On the other card, the emblem resembled…his Azure's symbol? That card had to be his. On the back, it had a "III". This perked Ragna's curiosity. If things like these were all custom-made for each of them…this had been planned a while in advance. Just who the hell did this! Ragna had his suspicions, but he didn't know of anyone who would benefit from trapping them two in a train instead of outright killing them. There really was no choice but to move forward…

"All right Tao, let's keep going."

And with that, they headed towards the next door. Ragna could only tighten his grip on his crowbar while thinking about what may lay ahead.

Weeeell, let's see what happens next, no?
