Hello everyone! I'm Zantetsu Murakumo and Man Who Loves Destruction is my brother. Inspired by his upcoming Crimson Susanoo, this is the story about the possibility that BLOODEDGE a.k.a Ragna the Bloodedge a.k.a Erston Kisaragi does not return to BlazBlue world and stumbles upon the DxD universe instead.
The reason why he takes the name Erston Kisaragi instead of his original one is that he wants to honor the person who taught him the techniques and the original Hakumen. The circumstance around Ragna taking Hakumen's pre-battle chant will be explained in Crimson Susanoo, not here. As a reviewer pointed out that it should have been 'I am the Dark Abyss. I am Apocalypse. I am Hope within Despair. With blade and hatred shall I devour and return all Evils to Hell. I AM BLOODEDGE! You soul is MINE!' not 'The end has COME!', well, I talked to bro and he told me that he would explain the reason later. But in my fic, it will be 'The end is NIGH!' when he is in normal state and 'You are DEAD!' when he goes berserk.
Well, I won't take your time any longer. Let's begin the story right NOW!
~Chapter 1~
Ragna, that was his name but he had long discarded it. That name had brought so much despair and misery to his loved ones. Ayame…She died because of him, because of 'Ragna'. Hakumen, no, Jin had warned him against interacting with her too much and he paid a great price for it. He casted one last look at her gravestone.
"Ayame, I promise, I will return some day. When I come back, the world will become a better place. Wait for me, okay?"
And with that, he held up the Muramasa and slashed. A rift made of distorted space and time opened and he entered it.
-?-
Before him was the Abomination, the Black Beast. The creature responsible for the near extinction of humanity. The murderer that stole Ayame from him. But all was no matter to him. Today, he would put an end to everything.
"I am the Dark Abyss. I am Apocalypse. I am Hope within Despair. With blade and hatred shall I devour and return all Evils to Hell. I AM BLOODEDGE! The end is NIGH, Black Beast!"
Bloodedge channeled the Azure Grimoire into his sword and body, allowing him to don in the Sankishin Unit. With that, the crimson Susanoo let out a battle cry and jumped toward the roaring creature.
….
He lied there, unable to move. He won. He defeated and drove the Beast back to the Cauldron. Before going back to its nest, it managed to unleash the devastating breath attack at him. Even the mighty Susanoo Unit could not withstand longer. Bloodedge felt like he was going to disappear. Sad, but he was content because with this, he would be reunited with Ayame. That's all he needed. The face mask opened, revealing the smiling soul of once Ragna the Bloodedge. He stared at the blue sky, reminiscing about the moments he spent with Ayame. Those were the best times in his life after the shit he had been through. The time was up, the Susanoo began dissolving into particles and soon his soul as well. He swore that he saw a smiling Ayame extending a hand at him.
"Well, I am home Ayame…" The hero Bloodedge went away with a last smile like that.
-Dimension Rift-
"…What a sad story…" The Infinite Dragon, Orphis, spoke to herself after witnessing the last moment of Bloodedge. At first, she was so bored that she had to use the observing rift to find something interesting. And then she saw the images of a lone warrior clad in crimson armor clashing against a gigantic beast. Orphis then used the portal to rewind the time to see what happened before the battle. She watched how the warrior, Ragna the Bloodedge, met the beautiful Ayame Yayoi and their journey to defeat the Black Beast. For an emotionless being like Orphis even shedding tears at the way that Ayame girl shoving Ragna away and let the Beast claim her life instead of his and after the Beast left, she told Ragna of her feelings toward him before leaving the mortal plane. She was speechless at how willing Ragna was to discard his name and started his training to become stronger. She was excited to see Ragna, no, Bloodedge standing before the Black Beast, announcing his identity like knights of old tales and charging at the creature before meeting his own end at the hand of the Black Beast.
"No…He does not deserve this…I have to do something…" Orphis thought and thought harder. She remembered that there was a resurrecting spell of sort she learnt from the Bible God in one of his rare visits to this dimension. The Dragoness drew a magic formula on the ground and started chanting…
-Nowaday-
"…-senpai. Erston-senpai!"
"Wha –"
'Erston' woke up from his nap due to the constant yelling from a certain brunette. He shook his head lightly to ward off the dizziness. 'Erston' quickly regained his eyesight and turned to the boy with a confused look.
"Excuse me but, who the heck are you?" 'Erston' asked. The boy was puzzled at the sudden question but still answered nonetheless.
"What's gotten into you, Senpai? It's me, Issei!"
"Issei? Do I know you?"
Erston said with an irritated tone. Soon, he found something strange with him. He shoved the boy away and looked around him. What?! Erston slammed the door nearby open and went down on the stairs, shoving any students on his way. He found a male restroom and headed inside.
"What…the hell?" Erston looked at his reflection and was speechless. It was him but the heck with the uniform anyway? And why did he look so young? 'Erston', no, Bloodedge tried to remember what happened. He was sure that he disappeared along with the Susanoo Unit after the battle against the Black Beast! Speaking kind of which, he raised his right hand and saw the closed van that containing the Azure Grimoire, although the thing took the form of a glove, not his entire arm like before.
"Shit, what's going on?" Bloodedge mumbled to himself. Washing his face to clear the headache in his head, Bloodedge exited the restroom and met several eyes looking at him anxiously. The students then moved aside to make way for a spectacled girl. There was a stern look on her face.
"Erston Kisaragi, to my office, now."
"…The fuck?"
….
"Shit, how many must I tell you again, woman?! I am not Erston or some dude you know! I am Bloodedge!" He yelled. The girl was unfazed by this and kept on asking, err, interrogating him. Looks like the ruckus he made earlier was recorded by the security cameras and now this Kaichou woman was asking him for it.
"What's wrong with you today, Erston? Normally, you are a gentle, smart upperclassman that everyone looks up to, but what is the harsh attitude today?" She asked with a well-hidden shocked voice. Bloodedge snatched his hair in frustration.
"Who the heck KNOWS?! Goddammit you are so annoying. I am leaving." He stood up and headed to the door despite the yelling from the girl.
-Timeskip-
Bloodedge decided to skip classes as he went to the local park and sat on a bench to cool his head off. Just when he was finally able to meet Ayame again…
"Dammit, how did I end up here?" He murmured to himself. He held up his hand and tried utilizing the Grimoire. It worked but he promptly shut it down to avoid unnecessary attentions. Strange, everything was like usual. It felt like he was transported to here somehow.
"Hm? The sun is down already?" It took him a while to realize that it was night. He shrugged lightly as he stood up and went to the direction that led him to his so-called home, if his memories as 'Erston Kisaragi' served right. Suddenly, he heard an argument ahead. Hiding behind a tree, Bloodedge overheard something like 'Why did you do this?' and 'Please, die for me'. Oh shit, what the hell was he eavesdropping?! A sound of something impaling flesh alarmed him as he turned to see the guy, the brunette he met this afternoon, impaled by a pink spear thing. There was a girl with revealing outfit and a pair of black wings looming above him with a nasty smirk. Alright, no need to hide anymore.
"Oi, the hell is going on?!" He called out, gaining the attention of the girl. She turned to him with a bored look. She seemed to say something before creating a similar pink spear and throwing it at him. Bloodedge casually side-stepped to dodge it and approached the girl with Gauntlet's Hades, kicking her right at her face and slamming her down. He then proceeded to pick her up and punch her hard at her guts.
"You damn ape! How dare you hurt my precious body –"
"Shut up and fight, crow." Bloodedge said nonchalantly before kicking her away. He extended his hand and in seconds, a black flame engulfed it and produced a sheathed sword. It was the Devourer: Muramasa.
"Look, I have no grudge against you." He drew the katana. "Just want you to take responsible for the boy. Revive, heal or shit whatever now, or I will have to cut you down."
"Who are you to order me around, ape?! As I am the mighty Raynare of Grigori!" Raynare yelled as she created two more light spears and lunged at him. Bloodedge shook his head; fool…
Yep that's all for now. Please leave constructive reviews so that I can improve this story!
