Chapter 1: Realization
"Milady do you require something?" asked Valkenhayn as he bowed.
"No, that's quite alright" said the girl as she closed her eyes. She then opens them once more and stares towards the red moon which shone in the sky. "Valkenhayn they have begun to move, the way things are now this world might as well perish" said Rachel as she sighed.
"What shall we do Milady, we are nothing more than observers".
"Indeed we are but someone will change the fate which lay ahead in this world" said Rachel as a smile crept on her face.
"Who might this person be milady?" asked Valkenhayn as he looked towards her. It was rare to see her happy and more rare to see her smile. He has served her for years and he has always been by her side and no matter how he looked at it, it still seemed as if she was alone.
"This person does not know his power or his potential, right now he is nothing but a child" said Rachel.
"Hm I see, but do you think he really might be able to change the world?" asked Valkenhayn.
"Indeed I do, the future of this world is not yet set in stone. It can be changed and it will be changed" said Rachel as she let out a sigh.
"I agree. But Milady may I bold and ask who this person might be?"
"Indeed you may. He is a child that lives in Ibukido and his name is..."
"Ragna, Ragna Katsuragi its time to go to school" said Saya as she let out a sigh. Waking his brother in the morning always proved to be a great challenge. She had been knocking on the door for what seemed minutes yet he has not answered once. "Come on get up, we're going to be late" yet no answer was heard from him. She then tried to open the door and to her surprise it was opened which was something that rarely happened.
"Brother are you in there?" asked the girl as she approached the sleeping boy on the bed. "Geez, wake up already". She then approaches the sleeping teen her face turns deep red, she then goes near his ears and says "If you don't wake up I will give you a kiss". Suddenly the boy's eyes sprung open and his face was red.
"I'M UP!" said Ragna as he suddenly got out of bed; his face was red as a tomato. He then looks towards his sister who was chuckling. "Geez Saya, you sure have a nice way of waking people up" he says as he lets out a sigh.
"Hey don't blame me. I've been trying to wake you up for what seems to be hours yet you wouldn't budge" she said as she pouted.
"Oh sorry I was dreaming" said Ragna as worry fell upon his face.
"Was it the same dream again?" asked Saya in a caring voice. She hated seeing her brother like this and this dream seemed to be bothering him a lot.
"Yeah, it was the same dream. But this time it was a little bit different" said Ragna as he looked up towards the ceiling.
"How so?" said Saya as she looked at her brother. It seemed like his worry was lifted and he seemed to be more cheerful.
"This time when they were about to stab me a girl appeared. She had a sword in her hand and after she killed it she offered me her hand" said Ragna as he smiled.
"What happened after that?" asked a curious Saya. This was the first time seeing her brother not seem so worried about this dream. It had been haunting him for months now but they could not figure out why he had these dreams.
"I don't know, that's when you woke me up" he said as he sighed.
"What did she look like?"
"Hmm, I think she had blonde hair and blue eyes and she seemed to look a lot like you" he said as he smiled.
"Heh? So I'm the one who saves you" said Saya as she chuckled. "Well you should get ready now, Jin and I have been waiting for you downstairs so we can have breakfast" said Saya as she began to walk out the door. "Make sure you hurry or were going to be late".
"Ok, ok I got it mom" said Ragna as he sighed. He then walked towards the bathroom to go take a shower. It had been years since him and his siblings had moved to Ibukido. They had lost their parents since they were young so Jubei their parents friend had watched over them since as they grew up. Now they lived alone in a house in Ibukido and they were attending the Orbitus High School. It was a school where most of the high skilled kids came to learn. But for the last few months Ragna had begun to have these strange dreams but he could not figure why.
Ragna enters the shower and turns the water on. He lets the water running and he begins to think. "Dammit it's been the same dream over and over again. What exactly does this mean". Ragna then pushes the thought out of his mind and dries himself off after finishing showering. He then puts on his school uniform and heads down to the kitchen.
"Morning brother" said Jin as he saw Ragna come down the stairs.
"Morning Jin" he said as he pulled out a chair and sat next to him.
"Seems you overslept again, you really do sleep like a rock" said Jin as he chuckled.
"Hahaha, very funny" said Ragna sarcastically.
After finishing eating they all ran out the door after they noticed they were late. But they actually made it to the morning bus before it left. They all sat panting in their seats after running for a while.
"Geez, wake up earlier Ragna" said Saya as she was trying to catch her breath.
"I must agree brother, running like this everyday will be the end of us" said Jin while panting.
"Hey don't blame me. If you want to blame someone blame that weird ass dream" said Ragna as he sat up on his chair.
They arrived at school and they all began to walk towards the gate when they suddenly heard a voice. "SAYA!" said Makoto as she ran towards the group of siblings. Behind her Kagura, Trinity, Terumi, Carl and Tsubaki followed.
"Oh hi Makoto" said Saya as she smiled.
"Morning to all of you" said Tsubaki as she bowed.
"Morning" responded Jin with a smile which made Tsubaki blush.
"Morning" said Ragna as he yawned. He was still tired from sleeping late the night before. That dream really makes him not want to sleep and stay away all night if it was possible. It was something that bothered him as much as ghosts did.
"Sup Rags" said Terumi as he patted his back. "I see your tired as always" he said with a smile.
"Leave me alone" he said looking almost like he was about to fall asleep.
"I see you look beautiful as always Saya" said Kagura with a smirk.
"Geez, Kagura you hit on almost all the girls you see" said Carl as he sighed.
"I must agree" said Trinity as she chuckled.
"Sorry guys seems we have to go. We have singing practice this morning since the concert is approaching" said Saya who then looked at Makoto.
"AHH! That's right I almost forgot!" said Makoto who then grabs Saya and Tsubaki by their hand. "Lets hurry before we are late" she said while she started running dragging them along.
"See you guys later" said Saya as she and Tsubaki waved with an awkward smile on their face.
"Well there they go, guess we should head to class as well" said Carl as he began to walk. "I agree" said Trinity and Terumi and the others began to follow behind them. Ragna was at the end of the group and then he felt a strange presence which drew his eyes to the rooftop of the school. There stood the girl he saw in his dream and he stood there shocked. But as soon as he blinked she vanished almost like thin air.
"Was that an Illusion? I must be so tired that i'm starting to see things" thought Ragna as he then began to walk to try to catch up with the others. But although he was trying to make it all seem an illusion he was sure he saw the girl from his dream, but a dream is a dream so that could not have happened. But although he thought this a girl stood alone on the rooftop staring towards the sky. Her eyes were as blue as the sky and her hair flowed in the wind.
Lunch time...
"Who are you?" Ragna asked the girl which stood before him. She just stood there, her eyes seemed emotionless and she seemed to be a serious girl.
"I cannot tell you yet" said the blonde girl. "The time has not yet come for us to meet so sleep well my master" she said as she gently caressed his cheek with her hand. Suddenly Ragna heard a voice calling out to him. It was faint but it definitely there, and second by second it kept getting closer and louder.
"..na, Ra...na wa..e up, Ragna wake up! It's already lunch time" said Kagura as he tried to shake his friend awake. He had been trying for a couple of minutes but so far he has gotten no response from his friend. Slowly Ragna's eyes began to open and he looked towards where the voice was coming from.
"Ragna-kun are you alright?" asked Trinity in a worried voice.
"Did I fall asleep?" asked Ragna as he tried to get himself fully awake. He felt really tired and it seemed his body did not want to respond.
"Hahahaha, you slept through half the day and since the teacher couldn't wake you up he gave up" said Terumi who was sitting on the table next to him.
"Let's head to lunch, the others are waiting for us" said Trinity as she smiled.
"Hey you ok Rags? You seemed like you just saw a ghost" said Terumi as he got closer to Ragna.
"I hope that was a ghost" said Ragna as he sighed and got up and began to walk to towards the door. "You guys coming?" he asked as he looked towards the others who still stood where he had left them.
"Yeah" said Kagura as he walked towards him. The others followed and they all headed to the cafeteria where Saya and the others were seated and waited for them.
"You sure took your sweet time!" said an angry Makoto.
"Quiet squirrel" said Ragna as he looked towards her.
"You wanna go!"
"Bring it" responded Ragna.
"Wow look at the sparks fly" said Kagura as a sweat drop appeared on his face. Suddenly Saya sighed and said "Knock it off you too".
"Ok" said Ragna and Makoto as they sighed.
"But why did you take so long?" asked Jin.
"We were trying to wake you brother up, but it took longer than we had expected" answered Trinity. Ragna and the others sat down and began to eat their lunch. But while everyone had fun a thought still passed through Ragna's mind. "Who was that girl and what did she mean by me being her master?".
Relius one of the science teachers then began to walk towards them. "Mister Ragna Katsuragi, how was your nap?" asked Relius and Ragna then knew that this wasn't going to end well for him.
"Hahaha, sorry about that I was tired from yesterday" said a nervous Ragna.
"Well that is quite alright, but since you learned nothing today I will need you to fix the classroom after school" said Relius as he smirked.
"Aww, c'mon can't you let it slide this once?" asked Ragna.
"Sorry i'm afraid not. I look forwards to seeing you later" said Relius as he walked away.
"Well at least he didn't give you detention" said Kagura trying to cheer up his friend.
"Coming after school is just as bad" said a depressed Ragna.
"Well it's you own fault" said Saya as she sighed. The bell then rung and everyone headed towards their next class. The second part of the day wasn't so bad and it felt like it flew by although Ragna wasn't quite looking forwards for the day's end. At the end of the day he went to meet with his friends and told them goodbye. He also told Saya and Jin to be careful when they were going home.
"This sucks" said Ragna as he wiped the boards. Relius had left him there alone cleaning the boards and what's more he added more work to what Ragna had previously been told what he had to do.
"Well i'm almost done, all I have to do is take out the trash and i'm finished" he said as a smirk creeped up on his face. He was so happy that all this unneeded work was finally over and he could go home. "Woah, it's gotten freaking dark outside" said Ragna as he looked out the window. It seemed like it was later than he thought it was. Ragna then picked up the trash can and walked out the classroom and headed outside. As he headed towards the incinerator he heard a weird noise.
"What the hell was that?" asked Ragna as he looked around. He didn't anyone but he still heard the noise. He then follows his ears which led him to the shed where the gym equipments were kept. "Hello? Is anyone here?" asked Ragna as he looked around. He then looks to see to the floor where he had stepped in a weird liquid.
"The hell is this?" said Ragna as he picked up a little bit with his fingers. He then opened the flashlight he was given by Relius and he pointed towards his fingers. "I-is this blood?" asked Ragna as his eyes widen and almost if it was instinct he points the flashlight in front of him revealing a gruesome creature. It seemed as if it was eating something or someone. Ragna dashes out the door without looking back dropping his flash light. The creature notices this and it begins it's chase.
"What the hell, what the hell, what the hell! This ain't funny I gotta get the hell out of here" thought Ragna, he then looks back and sees that whatever this thing was it was chasing him.
"Come back here, hyahahaha!" said the creature in a eerie voice. This didn't make Ragna stop whatsoever instead it was a catalyst to make him run faster and not care about anything but getting away. Ragna runs inside the school building and quickly runs inside a classroom and locks the door.
"Dammit all, this is just like that dream. W..wait, in the dream I hid inside the room but he...". Before Ragna even had a chance to finish his thought process the creature slashes the door open and the pressure flings Ragna towards the wall.
"Da...dammit" said Ragna as he tried to get back to his feet, but only to fail again.
"Oh seems I caught you" said the creature as it slowly walked towards Ragna. It resembled a human but it was not human. It had a big jaw and sharp teeth, this probably meant that Ragna was in terrible danger but he could not get away.
"Hm a feisty one, I will enjoy devouring you" said the creature as it suddenly stabs Ragna.
"Am I going to die? Is this how my life ends? Dammit I'm sorry Saya, Jin but seems like I won't be able to go home today. Goodbye..." Thought Ragna as he closed his eyes. Ready to accept his death until suddenly something came through the ceiling and slashed the creatures arm.
"GAH!" groaned the creature as it held it's arm. "HOW DARE YOU INTERUPT MY MEAL?!" asked the creature in anger and pain. Ragna was surprised he was one step away from death yet something or someone saved his life. He looked up to see a blond haired girl with a sword in her hands.
"I will not let you touch my master" said the girl.
"Tch then die along side him you bitch" said the creature as it lashed at her. She easily blocked him and pushed him back throwing him outside the window. She then grabs Ragna and flies down into the track field where the creature laid trying to get up.
"Surrender or die by my blade" the girl says.
"Don't underestimate me!". It then got up and a dark aura surrounded it. It charged towards her and grabbed her and and threw her at a wall. She then falls on the ground and tries. Ragna then runs towards her and picks her up.
"Hey are you ok?" asked Ragna as he looked at her.
"I'm ok master, do not worry yourself" she said as she tried to get up.
"Of course you're not ok! Look at you you're bleeding" said Ragna as a look of worry began to fall upon his face. Who exactly is this girl and why was she going so far for him. Even though he's hurt Ragna lays her on the ground and stands before her.
"I won't let you hurt her" said Ragna in anger.
"Oh I see you got some spunk brat, but I don't mind eating you first" said the creature as it seems to almost grin.
"What the hell am I doing I'm gonna get freaking killed. But I own it to her because she also protected me" thought Ragna as he took a deep breath and looked ready for anything.
"Master..." said the girl and she got up. She then turns Ragna's face towards her and kisses him. Memories began to fill Ragna's head and before he knew it he remembered things he didn't even knew happened. She then pulls away from him and she looks straight at Ragna who was blushing.
"Now master call out my name, I am your blade" she said as she smiled.
As if it was instinct Ragna said "Come to me Kusanagi!". The girl then began to glow and she disappeared leaving a glowing sword which then makes it's way to Ragna. A dark aura surrounds Ragna and his hair which was once blonde turns white, and his eyes which were emerald turn red and he gets into a fighting position.
"Bring it you damn monster" said Ragna as he smirked.
"I will freaking kill you, you fucking brat" said the creature as he lashed at Ragna but Ragna easily blocks him and pushes it back. Ragna then takes the offensive and attacks the creature
-Sword Of Decimation
This cuts the creatures and the pressure from the slash throws the creature towards a wall of the school building. Ragna then slowly walks towards it and the creature shakes in fear.
"S-stay away you damn monster" said the creature in fear.
"After what you've done I don't think you have the right to call anyone else a monster" was Ragna's reply. "Now pay for your sins and repent in hell" said Ragna as he raised the blade.
"Please I will do anything so please forgive me" pleaded the creature.
"Die"
-Sword Of The GodSlayer
The blade blazed in a golden light and extended towards the sky, it's power made the wind pick up and the ground shake. "Now face the sword that slays the gods!" said Ragna as he descended the sword pulverizing the creature and slashing the school in half.
"D-did that do it?' asked Ragna as he panted.
"Seems so master" spoke the sword.
"That's...great..." said Ragna as he lost consciousness and fell of the ground. The sword then reverts to being a girl and she stands besides him. "Well done master" she said as she smiled.
Up high above the roof two people stood watching the fight unfold.
"Well seems he didn't need help" said the guy who wore an orange hood and had green hair.
"Well I must say that was overkill. He slashed the school in half" said the guy with the black sword. "So this is the power of the destroyer?"
"Yep it is, now lets get the hell outta here" said the hooded guy and suddenly both of them vanish.
Meanwhile in Rachels mansion...
"Oh my, seems he has awoken, although not completely" said Rachel with a smile.
"Madam does this mean it has begun?" asked Valkenhayn.
"Indeed it has. The wheel of fate will now start to turn whether this world survives or is destroyed it's up to them" said Rachel as she closed her eyes.
"What do you mean by them?"
"The beast might awaken but many heroes will arise and along side the destroyer they will change fate. The winds have changed now lets see where it leads us."
Ragna slowly opens his eyes and surveyed his surroundings. "Was that a dream?" thought Ragna to himself while he let out a sigh. He then turns to his right to see a girl lying next to him.
"AHHHHHH!" yelled Ragna as he noticed the girl wore no clothes.
The girl then slowly opens her eyes and looks towards him. "Morning master" she said as she rubbed her eyes.
"W-what are you doing here and why are you naked!?" asked a blushing Ragna.
"I slept next to you to keep you safe". Suddenly the door bursts open and Jin comes in.
"Brother are you ok?" he asks. He then sees the naked girl and slowly begins to leave the room. "Uhm...seem I interrupted something carry on..." he says as he leaves.
"Jin this is not what you think you idiot" retorted Ragna. He then hears Saya's voice outside and he thinks "Oh i'm screwed".
"Saya don't enter the room!" said Jin trying to hold her back.
"I want to know what's going on". She manages to break from Jin's grip and manages to enter the room. "Brother what's..." she suddenly cuts herself off as she sees the girl snuggling against Ragna's arm.
"Wait Saya this is not what you think!" said a nervous Ragna for he knew he was about to be killed.
"Oh is that so" she says as an evil and murderous aura surrounded her. Ragna gulps and all that was heard after that was a loud yell that said "WHY ME!?". This was a start of a big adventure where friends and foes will arise and fate will be defied. Now let's get ready for the rebels of faith and watch as they turn time forward.
AN: Well there goes the first chapter I hope you enjoyed. Apparently in this world Kusanagi exists but she doesn't have Noel's personality. She can turn into a sword that can be wielded by Ragna. Although in her sword form Ragna can only use a few abilities that are the same as hers. Well I will explain more in the next chapter. Thanks for reading bye.
