Hey everyone and welcome back to another story. So this is going to be Blazblue x RWBY crossover thanks to the multitude of fanfics I've read about the two have inspired me. I'm writing a BNHA and Xenoblade 2 fanfic alongside this so I'll try and keep a schedule for all three. No promises though. Anyways, I'm gonna be doing a lot of tweaking when it comes to this story. I know a lot about blazblue, but not so much about RWBY so bear with me and please leave ideas/criticism in the reviews so it will help me out! There will likely be stuff about certain characters that I just don't use and I may just not use a character altogether. Thanks again and enjoy. This takes place after Central Fiction so beware of spoilers! It helps to use the ending of that to segway into a story, as much as the ending of Central Fiction triggers me beyond belief. Also, just a fair warning. This is gonna be so far from canon that people will be brought back to life or things like that, so just as a fair warning there's that. I was thinking about making this a harem, but let me tell ya it is extremely hard to pick. Do I want Ragna to have a harem with Team RWBY? Do I want RWBY and some BB girls in his harem? Who and when? How? WHY? WHY IS IT SO HARD TO CHOOSE? Overall I want to make this a harem, but most of all I don't want to include so many characters in the harem that it would be hard to write. Let me know your suggestions in the reviews or PM me to talk with me about it. Nothing is set in stone yet, but Ragna will have his own team and I honestly couldn't come up with anything really good so I was gonna make it team AZUR or CRMZ for Azure or Crimson. Let me know what you think. Anyways enjoy the chapter!

Black. That was all there was. Absolutely nothing. It was just a dark void surrounding him. Fitting for the Grim Reaper to be finally encased in darkness. The Grim Reaper just tried to move, but felt his body become numb and he was stuck. He couldn't scream out. He couldn't move. He couldn't feel. However, he could definitely sleep. This wasn't a hell for the Grim Reaper. It was a paradise. No annoying catgirls. No horny, incestuous brother was trying to kill him. No crazy god trying to ruin his life again. Just peace. A dream crept up it's way to the void as before the reaper's eyes a scene played.
"Ragna...I missed you so much…" A silver haired girl with a eyepatch said as she approached the Grim Reaper and SS Class Criminal, Ragna the Bloodedge.
"W-Wha!? Nu!? The hell are you doing here? Also...WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU NAKED AND WHY DO YOU REMEMBER ME!?" Ragna yelled out as the girl crept towards him with a seductive look.
"Ragna…I don't want to hurt you anymore...I just want to pleasure you." The girl identified as Nu replied.
"W-W-Wait! This is so fucking weird! You're just trying to kill me again aren't you! I've been stabbed enough god dammit! Why won't any of you just let me die in peace!?" Ragna was beginning to get mad.
"For a dog you say the most outlandish things. I know it must be hard for you to accept such a fine and proper lady like myself to give you her affection is difficult to grasp with your idiotic mind. However, I shall permit your insolence this once." A haughty voice called out to him.
"R-Rabbit?! The fuck are you doing here?! And why are YOU naked too?!" Ragna was a mixture of angry, tired, and severely confused.
"Hmph, I will allow your back talk this once as a reward. Now allow me to silence your ignorant mouth." Rachel leaned in to kiss him as Nu wrapped herself around his body.
"Hey no fair! Don't hog him all to yourself!" Nu called out as she grabbed Ragna's arm. Rachel broke off the kiss and looked at Ragna with eyes filled of desire.
"Ragna…" Rachel called out as she looked into his eyes. He couldn't move let alone think at this point.
"Ragna…" Nu moaned out.
"Ragna...Ragna...Ragna…" Rachel and Nu continued to wrap themselves around the Reaper.
"G-Guys, hold up! This is so freaking weird!" Ragna yelled out.
'Actually, this should just be a dream right? Nu didn't even remember me before I erased myself from existence so neither of them should know me...this...this isn't that bad then. I might as well go all in if it's not real!' Ragna thought to himself. He thought.
"Alright then...two can play it that way!" Ragna retaliated against the two girls, but noticed neither of them reacting to him. Ragna hugged Nu closer to his body and began to feel all around her gaining a howl from her. Rachel on the other hand bit down on his arm and growled.
'Wait...THE FUCK!?'
Snapping out of his dream Ragna shot up in pain from his left arm. His body was heavy and something was on top of him. He was...holding something in his arms. It was black and had white all over it. It was also...howling!? Ragna looked to where the stinging wet sensation was coming from on his arm. Another weird black thing with white all over it was gnawing on the Reaper's arm. It took a minute for the situation to hit him.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Ragna roared to life flinging the black hound off of him. He grabbed the hound he was holding by the neck and flung it towards a tree effectively killing it. The animal slowly disintegrated into darkness and disappeared.
"The fuck?" Ragna was thoroughly confused now. He just killed an "animal" by throwing it against a tree full force and it then disintegrated. The fuck was that all about. He didn't have time to think as the second hound jumped towards him.
"Woah! Back the fuck off you mutt." Ragna grunted as he dodged and regained his balance. He then stood on guard with his fists up and readied himself for the next attack. The hound took a more strategic approach as it ran around Ragna trying to get him to lose his focus. However, Ragna moved first. With blinding speed the Grim Reaper caught up to the creature and landed a nasty kick which shattered the white on its body and a sickening crack was heard. Ragna simply sighed in disbelief at the animal laying on the ground.
"First off...where the fuck am I. Second of all what the fuck are those. Finally, WHY IS IT ALWAYS FUCKING ME!?" Ragna yelled out to nobody in particular. He was furious. He sacrificed himself, saved the world, erased himself from the world, and was finally having a semi good dream about two people he actually had slight feelings for and now he was stuck killing some random fucking dogs that decided to attack him. Immediately realizing things might've been going his way since he got his left arm back he instinctively reached for his right one to check. He moved his red sleeve up and looked at his arm.
'Yep...of course. Fuck the world.'
His arm still had the azure grimoire inside and it was still radiating with energy. Most of all, however, it was still fake. He groaned and put his sleeve back down as the animal in front of him disintegrated into the air as well.
"I gotta get back to Kokonoe and ask what the fuck is up with these things…" As he said this it hit him once again. He just thought it, but glossed over it. He erased himself from existence. Nobody remembered him. By all means he shouldn't even be alive.
"Right…" Ragna's face became depressed and his mood worsened. "I..forgot...I did that. Well, Rabbit...I sure hope you're happy now."
Thep it in his heart and stomach was pretty shallow. This feeling was something Ragna knew well, but hid under his tough guy act. He did have a reputation to keep up. However, this time the feeling of despair was strong. Loneliness, regret, lost love, anger, and most of all was sadness. However, Ragna soon looked up to the sky with a sadness in his eyes.
"I'll...miss you guys." People flashed through Ragna's mind as he thought of all the people he knew and loved...to an extent. There were definitely people that got on his nerves. He cared about them, just not as much. There was also the so called bromance between him and a certain black knight. He would miss the people he left behind, but right now he had to focus on himself and what the hell he was gonna do. He shoved his emotions aside and let his "thick head", as Rachel would call it, take control. However, as soon as he began to walk through the forest he was in he heard more howling.
"You have got to be shitting me…" Ragna face palmed as black blurs began to surround him.
Ragna put his hand behind his back and felt around for a second until he finally found what he was looking for.
"The only damn thing I can rely on is you!" Ragna roared to life as he took out his bloodscythe and readied himself to fight. He was a bit stiff, confused, and hell even a little stressed. "Time to get rid of this pent up stress…" He muttered to himself as the black hounds began to attack.
XXXXXXXXX
He had to have killed at least 50 of them by now. This time they weren't just disintegrating though. It was like something was attracting these hounds to him. Everytime he killed one at least two or three more popped up. Ragna was nowhere near injured or even tired yet, but his anger continued to grow and grow as he became more and more annoyed.
Suddenly, the hounds stopped and they all began to back off.
"Huh? Had enough already?! Hah! Don't fuck with me!" Ragna donned a smirk and put away his sword. However, the ground beneath him began to shake.
"No." Ragna denied it. "Absolutely fucking not. There is no way in hell."
However, to Ragna's dismay it was sadly true. A giant black beat made its way through the forest as the hounds just watched Ragna. Finally, Ragna got a good clear look at the monster.
"Holy shit…" Ragna muttered to himself as he took out his sword once again. This thing was 20x his size and could easily crush any normal person. "Somehow I'm gonna blame this on the Rabbit. Damn you Rachel! It's always me in this shit!"
The monster took a stance. It's white and red face glared at the Reaper.
"Fine then...you want some? Then I'll go all out!" Ragna yelled as he took his own stance. He held out his sword and it began to take on a form of it's own. This form? The form of it's very own name. A scythe.
"Come on you bastard! Hades Edge!" Ragna said as he charged the giant black monster.
The monster roared back in return as Ragna eyed it up for his incoming attack. However, before he could attack the giant beast something, no someone, hit it first.
"The fuck?" Ragna said as he landed on the ground and hopped backwards away from the disintegrating beast.
"Hey, I'm over here big guy!" A nonchalant voice called out to him. Ragna looked to where the noise came from and sheathed his Bloodscythe back into sword form and holstered it.
"What now?" Ragna sighed as he walked over to the source of the voice. Once he got a better look at the man he noticed a couple had graying black spiky hair. Accompanied by dull red eyes and a slight stubble along his jawline. He was wearing a red cloak with a gray dress shirt, black dress pants, and black dress shoes.
"Sup!" The man replied back to Reaper.
"You remind me of someone and it's pissing me off." Ragna replied coldly.
"Yeesh, your social skills aren't so good eh? Well, at least you have some skill in fighting with a scythe." The man replied putting his scythe back into sword form just like Ragna's very own.
"So you have the same weapon as me? Am I supposed to be impressed?" Ragna replied shrugging his shoulders. This dude was giving off Kagura vibes and it was seriously making him angry and exhausted at the same time.
"I got years more experience with it. Perhaps I should show you sometime. Now, though, I think introductions are in order, right? The names Qrow. Qrow Branwen." The man known as Qrow stuck out a hand towards the Reaper.
"Hmph, I'm Ragna. Now can you tell me where the hell I am and what the fuck those things are?" Ragna said as he disregarded the held out hand and crossed his arms.
"Relax princess, we're on the same side so take it easy on the attitude. Anyway what do you mean you don't know where you are? Did ya get dementia from killing all those Grimm? Anyways, if that's the case you're in Remnant and I should tell yo-" Qrow was cut off from his explanation by a screaming Ragna.
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE MOON?!" Ragna shouted as he pointed towards the sky, specifically at the shattered moon. Qrow just looked at him for a second with his mouth agape. Suddenly, he burst out laughing.
"Ragna, man, you're too much! Seriously though, did you really get hit in the head that hard? That's always been Remnant's moon. Don't really know why, but I just roll with it." Qrow said as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
In Ragna's Mind: (A/N: I'm making the Black Beast symbiotic with Ragna and giving it the ability to communicate with him in this fic. Lore wise I don't even know if this makes a lick of sense, but I couldn't care less.)
'I'm seeing similarities between the two of us.'
'The fuck do you mean? Also, why the fuck are you talking in my head...me? Oh fuck have I really gone crazy?'
'Already forget our voices? Did you forget what you are?'
'No fucking way. Why the fuck are you still in me?! You were fucking dead and should've got the fuck away from me when I literally wiped myself from existence! You know how much shit I got in because of you?! Fucking black beast my ass…'
'We don't even know what happened. By every right we should've died. We should not live in your world let alone be remembered. However, this isn't your world.'
'Wait what the fuck? The hell do you mean? I guess it would explain the moon and the weird monsters this douche called Grimm, but still the hell is happening here?'
'Just get information for now. We are one and must work together.'
'Hey fuck you! You're just gonna destroy the whole fucking world again along with me!'
'Our entire being was created to destroy and devour the world. Now, however, we are being controlled by something and are stuck under your command.'
'This doesn't make any fucking sense. I'm so fucking done with this shitty lore about you and everything involved in my shitty world. I have so many questions. Why the fuck are you talking to me now, why the fuck did you choose me, and why the fuck did I get transported to another world.'
'You were transported to another world because you were erased from the previous one. Right now, you are this world's Ragna the Bloodedge and are officially engraved into this timeline. Accept it.'
'Hey why don't you accept the fact that I hate everything including you?'
'You answered your second question.'
'Fuck. Off.'
Back to Reality:
"So whaddya say?" Qrow said as he looked at Ragna.
"Uh, what?" Ragna said as he looked at the man with a dumb expression.
"Did you not hear a word of what I just said? I said do you want to come with me? I can show you the ropes around here and also give you information to get over your dementia." Qrow snickered as he said the dementia part again. "And...if I like your abilities, I'll put in word for you at Beacon. I'm sure Ozpin would be just ecstatic to see someone like you join Beacon."
"Wait, wait, wait! The fuck is Beacon?" Ragna said as he was trying to wrap his head around things.
"Just shut up and come on already. I'll fill you in as we head to town." Qrow said as he began walking off.
"Argh fuck this!" Ragna said as he began to walk with the man towards the nearest town. He needed to get information about where he was and find someone he could get help from. Whether he liked it or not, this was his world now. He left the old one behind so now he was stuck in this.
'Guess I gotta get used to this life now...at least people aren't constantly trying to kill me now.'

Meanwhile as Ragna and Qrow talked about everything as they walked towards town. A lone vampire princess sat alone on a hill where a sword once was stationary. The Bloodscythe as it was called. She had visited it every day and felt that something or rather someone was...missing. However, she stopped visiting for a year, but finally decided to come back to it. It felt like a part of her life had been ripped away from her. Something that she wanted to protect and care for. Something that she...loved. Not that she would admit it thought. However, her attitude was now becoming apparent to her butler and one of the six heroes, Valkenhayn. As well as her "friends" that tried to contact her throughout the year, but it was to no avail. She had been isolating herself inside her castle only coming out to visit the sword. However, this time she fell to her knees. The sword she visited so often in the past. The sword that was apart of her. The same sword she felt that connected her to her lost past. That sword...was gone. She didn't know why. She didn't know how. She didn't know when. However, what she did know, was that she was filled with overwhelming anger and despair.
(A/N: I got this idea from a Rachel x Ragna fanfic. I'm not sure what it was called, but if the author of that one reads this let me know!)
Rachel rushed towards her castle in an effort to find Valkenhayn, completely throwing away her sophisticated act for once in despair.
"Valkenhayn where are you?!" Rachel yelled as she walked into her estate.
"Milady! Is something the matter?!" Valkenhayn rushed to his master's side.
"I need to go to Kokonoe's now!" Rachel said with a desperate tone.
"Milady please relax and tell me what happened. He put his hands on her shoulders and told her to take a deep breath. Rachel evidently calmed down.
"Thank you, Valkenhayn. I lost my cool for a second." Rachel said. "The sword I told you about...the sword that made it feel like I was missing something from my life. It's gone and now I need to find it. I don't think I can make it without it. It pains me too much to ever lose it. Even after a year has passed I still can't get over this feeling."
"I will do my best efforts in finding it Milady!" Valkenhayn said with a salute as he went into wolf form and ran off.
"Nago! Gii!" Rachel called out. Her familiars appeared instantaneously. "We're going to Kokonoe's lab right now. Come along."
"Right Princess!" Both familiars chimed in with a smile. They were glad to see their master want to use them for once.
XXXXXXXXX
"What is this infrequency…" Kokonoe was sitting on her chair with a bag of lollipops next to her half gone. Her was array and she looked like she hadn't slept in awhile. She began scratching her head furiously in anger.
"Argh! This is so annoying! It feels so familiar, but I can't put my finger on it!" Immediately she bit down on her lollipop and crushed it spitting out the stick and grabbing another one. "When I figure out who's doing this I'm gonna beat his sorry ass into a pulp!"
'Wait...how did I know it was a he?'
Immediately, Kokonoe got a headache and recoiled.
"Tch...whatever." Kokonoe leaned back in her chair. Just like Rachel she felt like something was missing. Maybe not as strongly as Rachel, but it was definitely there. She felt...empty. So far out of all the people she's asked only two have mentioned anything about it. Jubei and Noel. This was infuriating. Jubei came to her to ask the same question she had months ago. Something was up and they didn't know anything. They pondered together, but came up with nothing. Kokonoe only knew one thing and so did Jubei. The Azure Grimoire was out of their world. Literally, but they knew it was the thing causing the interference. Jubei said he'd go to ask the others, but said it'd take him awhile. Finally, Noel barged in with Makoto and Tsubaki and said the same. However, while they remembered. It seemed like the others didn't even know what they were talking about. Tsubaki, Makoto, Jin, Kagura, Tao, and everyone didn't even know what they were talking about. One girl, however, aside from Noel and Jubei did express her own worries about her own feelings. Soon though, a portal was opened and outstepped the resident vampire loli.
"Kokonoe, may I have a word?" Rachel said with a grim expression. She looked as if she was about to cry.
"It's about this feeling isn't it?" Kokonoe said as she turned back to her computer with wide eyes and gasped. Rachel replied, but Kokonoe drowned her out. She completely disregarded her and began furiously typing on her keyboard.
"What? What is it?" Rachel said as she walked towards beast kin.
"I think...I think I just pinpointed the Azure Grimoire. It's sure as hell outside the boundary and could very well be in another world." Kokonoe said.
"Do you...do you think this could be our answer?!" Rachel said as her eyes began to glisten and become wet.
"Rachel...I think we found our answer."
