A/N: Welcome to the first chapter of "FateBreaker". This is a collaboration work between me and ShinigamiYui who is a friend of mine. He wanted to write a story together so I gave it a try. This is what came out of it and I hope you guys enjoy it. This story is set many years after the events of ChronoPhantasma and has nothing to do with my previous works, it's just a brand new story. The main Character of this is Blaze an orphan who was raised by a warrior of old and here is a hint...the warrior looked like a cat. The story is about how Blaze is trapped in a endless loop where he always ends up dying in a specific day: killed by a masked person. He doesn't know what is going on or why this is happening, the only clue he has is that he inherited the fate from a hero named Ragna. But what happens when in one of the loops he breaks the figures mask and finds out what's under? Remember this is set in the farther future so the world looks different, really, really different. Also some character will not be showing up, After all...not all can endure the test of time. Well without further ado let's do this!

ShinigamiYui: Yay!

Prologue: Break The Solitude

It was truly endless. As far as he could remember, he could never live pass this one day and see what lied ahead in the next. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how hard he struggled, it was always the same. By now he just assumed he was destined to die in such a place and suffer, but dying in itself wasn't the problem the endless repetition was. It was always the same, he would die: killed by a masked assailant who he did not know or understand and then come back to life and relive that same day. He could no longer tell how many times he had re-lived that one single day. Decades passed, then centuries, then a millenium. Now he stood once more at the doorstep of death as the masked assailant aimed to take his life once more.

"Dammit..." cursed the teen as he fell on his knee. He was bleeding and one of his arms had gone limp from blood loss. He then shifted his gaze to the masked person who stood in front of him and scowled. He couldn't understand why he had to live through such hell. Sure he desired the power of the Azure for revenge and he was willing to pay any price for it, but this was too much a price. As always he was going to die...and just when he had finally thought he was home free this time. A small smile appeared on his face and he dropped the two blades he carried. "Well we know how this end don't we?" he asked as he opened his arm leaving himself open for a strike. "How many times has it been now? a thousand? A million?"

"2,800,091" the figure answered in an emotionless voice. "This makes the 2,800,092" the figure then raised it's blade and pointed it at the dark haired teen who was on his knees.

"I see" the boy then let out a tired sigh. He was tired and he wanted to give up on everything, but he couldn't. He had a promise to keep so even if he had to live through this endless loop everyday he still had hope, hope that one day he could find his way out. "Answer me one last thing...why are you crying?" the teen asked with a sad smile.

"I don't know..." it lied. It understood why it shed tears for the boy, who countless times it had killed. At first it emotionlessly did as it was instructed. It's mission was simple, to kill the boy over and over until the day he broke. That is what it's creator had built it for and that is what it did. But the boy never broke or gave in to despair and as time passed it grew emotionally attached to that which it was supposed to kill. "I am...truly sorry that you must live through this" it said as it tried to hold back the tears.

"Geez you're gonna make me cry now" the teen said as he used his one good hand to wipe away a tear. "Maybe...maybe in another time...we could be friends" he smiled at it and it slowly nodded. "Come on end it, it hurts more than expected" and with that it pierced the blade through the boys chest. The boy then coughed up blood and with a smile he slipped into oblivion. It then got on it's knees and hugged the person which it had killed and started crying. But from far away three figures watched.

"Once again the curtain falls on the tragic tale" a twin tailed girl stated as she sighed. "Alas it seems unlike Ragna, Blaze may never break through the endless repetition" the girl then turned her gaze to the cat beastkin which stood next to her.

"Don't count the kid out yet" the beastkin said. "He's strong, even I would break if I had to relieve this same day for two millenniums. It's a miracle he can still smile and see hope at the end of this endless tunnel" the beastkin then focused on the masked assailant who wheaped over the teens body. "To think that it would be able to gain emotions from killing him so many times"

"Indeed it is" added in the girl. "But I find it quite Ironic that the key to end his endless repetitive nightmare is the same thing which is keeping him trapped within it. I do wonder how he will triumph over something such as that" she then started to smile and looked at the figure downed in armor which stood next to the cat. "You've been really quiet Mr. Hero. Does watching this ending bore you?"

"Not at all, just a bit disappointed" said the armored figure.

"Oh? And Why is that?" the girl asked.

"I just thought he might be able to break away from the loops this time since he was so close. but seems we were mistaken" a bright flash of light then surrounded the two figures of the tragic end and the others sighed for they knew what that meant. "I guess it's time we do this again..."

"Indeed it is" the girls gaze then turned to the white light. "You would think humans would learn from their mistakes. But seems not, for creating a second Takamagahara certainly is proof of that"

"Yeah it is" the beastkin joined in. "C'mon kid...open your eyes. What you are looking for is right in front of you. Not everything is at it seems, so realize it for you are Blaze or should I say the Blazblue..." and with that thought in mind the three figures disappeared resuming their jobs as "observers" as light engulfed the whole world.

Year 2299 A.D, December 31...

A raven haired teenage boy slowly awakened drowsily and in no rush to get up. He knew exactly what awaited him on this day so he might as well take his sweet time. His red eyes lazily looked around then he looked at the watch which said 7:00 AM and he sighed. He heard a knock at his door catching his attention. He then walked up to the door, opening it and revealing a maid of the cheap hotel he was staying in.

"Sir I came to tell you that you have one more hour left..." her face was beet red and the teen was confused to why until he realize he wasn't wearing a shirt.

"Alright, thank you" and with that the maid left and the teen was left alone. The teen then stretched and a smiled appeared on his face. "Well happy birthday to me for the 2,800,092th time" with that he let a sigh escape him and a sad look was back on his face. "I wonder If I can find it before it finds me. Maybe we can manage to talk since it always kills me around 11:00 pm." With that the boy started getting ready by putting his clothes back on and he picked up his two identical blades which laid near the bed. They looked like a dagger like version of the blood-scythe except the edge was pointed not curved and the blade was completely black. They were long and on the hilt both had a trigger meaning they were gun blades. On the blades there seemed to be something inscribed in Japanese and if it was to be translated it stated: "Thou who shalt repeat history must pay a price for the power thy seek". He then moved to open an envelope which had his mission in it. "Well then, time to Assassinate Serena Clover for the...ah you get the point" he stated to no one in particular. With that he walked outside.

The world was busy as always, people coming and people going. In the sky ships powered by ars slowly floated by and the teen sighed at the world. As an assassin having people around was the worst thing possible. The teen known as Blaze began walking towards his destination his mind shifting to how he planned to kills his target this time. Over the course of the repetitions his mind started contemplating more "creative" ways to kill her. Yeah he knew it was sick but maybe the key was in how he went about killing her since avoiding to kill her seemed to make no difference in his fate. He was desperate but he didn't lose hope...his sisters sure wouldn't want him to. As he was lost in thought he stopped paying attention to where he was going and his attention was snapped back when he collided with someone. The figure fell but Blaze Kept standing. When he looked he realized he had knocked over a girl. "Oh sorry..." he said as he offered his hand to her. She grabbed it and slowly raised back to her feat"

"I should be the one apologizing" stated the girl as she smiled at him. Her hair was white and she had blue eyes but wore an eyepatch over the other. She had long hair and she braided the back of her hair so it wouldn't be too long. She was wearing a white buttoned shirt, a skirt and kneesocks. If Blaze was to guess, she was probably swarming with boys. Blaze was then snapped out of his observative state when the girl spoke again. "It was not proper of me to read while walking" she looked at him with an apologetic look and Blaze was starting to feel like the bad guy.

"No it's ok don't blame yourself" he said as he sighed. "Maybe I can make it up to you? I mean if it's ok with you that is. I feel bad for knocking you over and I j-just want to thank you". At this point Blaze was thinking 'screw the mission', I mean who would prefer to go on an assassination mission when they could go on a date before they died. The girl chuckled at him and he felt like an idiot afterwards.

"Is that your way of asking me out on a date?" the girl asked with a slight blush but maintained her smile.

"W-well...I guess..." Blaze said as his face was completely red. What anyone could get out of this awkwardness is the fact that Blaze has no experience whatsoever with girls. His sisters were about the only girls he had actually had experiences with but beside them he had none, zero, nada. "It's ok if you don't want to..." his sentence was cut short when she put a finger over his lips.

"You talk too much" she said as she giggle. "I accept, It's not often that a kind hearted person like you asks me on a date". That statement left Blaze in both surprise and shock. He was shocked that she accepted but he was more surprised that she wasn't asked on dates more often. The girl was simply stunning so it was weird no one asked her out and as an Assassin, kindhearted was one thing he wasn't. "By the way...what is your name" she asked, her one eye looking at him gently and he felt his heart skip a beat.

"Blaze The Blackdawn" he said as he happily grinned at her. He was actually excited to see her reaction to the name. Everyone had their own reactions at how weird his name was so he trying to see if she would laugh as well but she didn't laugh she just gave him an honesty smile.

"That is a beautiful name" the girl said in pure honesty. At this moment Blaze was thinking one thing. "If it wasn't because I am going to die today I would totally marry this girl!". Blaze never regretted his fate so much at this moment. He wanted vengeance on 'him' but that vengeance took everything from him, The possibility of happiness, the possibility of love, but most of all the possibility of a future. Blaze shook of the thought, he...he couldn't lose hope now he might be close.

"So what is your name?" Blaze asked the kind girl. "Surely someone as beautiful as you has a beautiful name". The girls cheek reddened and Blaze didn't understand why...well until he realized what he said. "Crap, crap, crap! That was not how I intended it to come out!"

"Orihime Tsubaki" the girl stated her cheeks still red. Her heart beating faster, and faster. She couldn't believe he called her beautiful. So this was 'him' the person she never expected to meet before that time. The girl shook herself out of her thoughts and looked at the boy expecting a reaction.

"That is beautiful afterall" Blaze stated honestly. He was was amazed by this girl that his head never wrapped around the fact that this had never happened. This was an irregularity but he either didn't realize nor did he care to. Even if it was short he wanted to find at least a brief happiness in his horrible life.

"Shall we go?" she asked as she offered him her hand and he took it. With that she began to run dragging him behind her but even so he was happy and it was something that he had earned. But while they ran from the shadows he watched, his red eyes glowing, his white hair being blown and a wolf mask over his face.

"Well then this is going differently from what I had in mind, maybe it's finally going to be the time we start this game" the masked man stated to the blond hair girl which almost looked like a child who stood next to him. "Are you ready to play with the 100th prime field?"

"Yes, Master" the girl simply stated.

"Now then, let's get to the last part of the intro and into the body paragraph of this story." With that both the figures vanished from where they stood leaving a trail of what seemed like black smoke where they stood.

Blaze found that being dragged around by a cute girl all day wasn't so bad afterall. She had taken him to many places he had never taken the time to see. This was a repetitive day so Blaze simply assumed that there was no point in doing anything else and just await death. But this one time he actually gave it a try he actually find it out to be fun. Don't get him wrong though, it didn't mean he hadn't try anything else to try to break out of this loop...besides getting laid. Yeah if you counted his age he would actually be 2,800,092 years old virgin, don't judge.

"Blaze?" the girl called to the boy snapping him from his thoughts. "Are you alright?" She seemed worried and that made Blaze feel like a bastard. "We can go back if you.." before she could even finish he repeated the same action she had done to him earlier. He laid a single finger over her lips and smiled.

"You talk too much" he said as he grinned and she blushed. "We're having fun and this is the most fun I've ever had" stated Blaze as he looked around his surroundings. Just if you were curious at the moment Blaze was at an amusement park. It was his first time in one besides the time when his foster father took him in. For the record that one didn't count since well...a wrecked park couldn't be counted as a park but that was a story for a different time. "Thank you for accepting my offer Tsubaki". He received a laugh from the girl and he started wondering if he had said something wrong.

"Orihime...my name is Orihime. Tsubaki is my family name" she stated with a smile. Blaze did an inside "oohhh" after realizing his mistake.

"Sorry then Orihime-san" he said with an apologetic look. "So what do you want to go on next?" Blaze asked. Their trip had taken them from the mall, to a cafe and then to this amusement park. It was almost sunset and Blaze was almost wishing that this would never end but that would be selfish.

"How about the Ferris Wheel?" Orihime asked and Blaze froze.

"Uhm...can we get on something else?" Blaze asked with a nervous smile. Orihime started to wonder why he wanted to do something else. So far he had gone on every ride she had wanted to go on but then her thought shifted to when they went to ride the rollercoaster. He seemed hesitant to get on the ride and then it hit her.

"Uhm...Blaze-kun..could it be that you are afraid of heights?" the girl innocently asked. The boy sighed and then nodded his head in defeat.

"Something happened to me as a kid and because of it I have been afraid of heights." Blaze's thoughts then shifted to that day when everything was taken from him. And then images of 'him' began to pour into his mind. His dreaded sword slaughtering the city and dyeing itself in their blood. He knew not his name but to him he was nothing more than 'The Masked Wolf' that destroyed his life. Blaze clenched his hands into a fist in anger but he soon stopped after feeling a gentle hand atop of his.

"We don't have to go in the Ferris Wheel if you don't want to" Orihime stated with a smile.

"How about we go to the beach? The sunset is beautiful around this time". The girl nodded in agreement and started walking towards the sea which fortunately was right next to the park. "I really and truly want to thank you for today" Blaze said as they continued walking side by side.

"I also want to thank you as well" Orihime stated. "No one has ever taken the time to be with me or pay me any mind...afterall...I am a monster" a sad look appeared on her face and Blaze body went to autopilot. He suddenly hugged her and the girl's body tensed.

"You're not a monster!" he yelled out catching not only the girls attention but the attention of many others. "You are the most kind hearted person I've met and although I am almost invisible to this world you paid attention to me and accepted my stupid offer. I've seen monsters...and you are not one of them". At this point the girl started crying and her body relaxed. She returned the embrace and the two stayed in that position for a while until the people around them started clapping making them immediately pull away flushed.

"W-we should get going..." she said embarrassed and with her heart racing.

"O-ok". And with that they continued their walk to the beach. When they got there they had a pleasant surprised. It was empty meaning the two of them were the only ones there.

"It's beautiful" her eye gleaming in happiness. The wind suddenly picked up and her hair started gently swaying in it. Blaze was captivated by it...by her. "Blaze?" she called out to him. The boy was looking at her while blushing and that made her blush as well. Her heart was beating and her body moved as if she was drawn to him. He also began to move closer and their lips touched. The kiss was gentle and the two of them remained like that in their own little world.

"Son of a gun!" stated a white hair man who stood at a distance. "Why the hell is he making out with her?!"

"Uhm...isn't spying a bit bad?" asked the Blond haired girl who stood next to him.

"We have to. We finally made it into this damned shift so we have no other choice, but damn this kids shift is freaking unbelievable" stated the man as he sighed.

"Oh I never took you for a peeping tom" came a voice very familiar to the figure.

"Rabbit shoo!" the figure stated with a grin.

"Why you dog! You would think this past century would turn you into a proper person but seems I was wrong" the twin tailed blond girl stated in anger.

"Hey hey chill out" stated a blackhaired man standing next to her.

"You are alive too?"

"Yeah I was also 'Blessed'" he said as he looked at the black haired girl standing next to him. "Makes you wonder how many are out there".

"One hundred exact" stated the blond haired girl. "They are all trapped within this shift and the game will not begin as long as Blaze is trapped in this cicle".

"Kinda makes you wonder if it's a good idea to snap him out of it...by the way...where did they go?" the white haired man asked as he looked where the boy and girl once were. "Crap we have to find him".

A Blaze stood alone in the middle of the amusement park which he was in hours ago. He looked at the time which stated "10:58" on it. He sighed, two minutes to his execution. But this time he wasn't afraid his mind then shifted back to earlier today.

(Flashback...)

"Blaze..." the girl said as she tried to catch her breath. The kiss lasted for what felt like forever and both their hearts were racing. "I'm sorry I didn't..." her sentence was cut short when he kissed her again. A while later he pulled away and smiled at her.

"You..."

"Talk too much right?" she asked and then giggled.

"Might seem weird but seems I've fallen in love with you even though I met you today..." Blaze stated flushed.

"Maybe it's fate?" she asked playfully.

"If so then it's finally given me a blessing after cursing me all my life" he said with a smiled. He looked at the time it was pretty late and in two hours he was going to die and that was something he didn't want her to witness. "It's pretty late so I should start taking you home" he said as he stood up. He then pulled her to her feet.

"It's ok I can get home on my own" she said as she smiled.

"Are you sure?"

"I am don't worry" she kissed his cheek and then began to walk away. Blaze then grabbed her hand and pulled her in for another kiss. He then pulled away with a worried look.

"Be safe..."

"I will..." she said as she put her hand on his cheek. With that she started walking away and waved at him when she was far enough. At this point Blaze really didn't care about the whole assassination mission. Instead he went to practice his fighting skill until "it" showed up. Blaze had gotten new motivation and he sure as hell was not going to lose.

(Flashback end...)

"Right on time as always" Blaze stated at the figure which stood now in front of him. "I would say we should talk but I'm guessing it's not going to happen." Blaze then summoned his weapon and the figure did the same, "Come at me! Calamity Trigger!" the gun blades began to fire a barrage of gunfire but the figure simply dodged them all.

"Shadow Blade" the figure said in an almost robotic tone. A black blade appeared from behind Blaze and he jumps up to dodge the attack.

"You have to try harder than that to kill me! Destruction Fang!" a giant mouth appeared from the ground and it launched at the figure but six things resembling blades appeared from behind her and destroyed the head.

"Continuum Shift..." clones of her began to appeared, first it was one...then two...then three and the number kept increasing until it was in the hundreds of thousands.

"Oh c'mon this is so unfair" Blaze said as he sweatdropped. What ensued was a one sided slaughter. Blaze was overpowering them. It was like his motivation skyrocket after meeting Orihime. He had a reason to fight before but that was vengeance now he had someone he wanted to see again he wasn't willing to lose. "Black Rain!" he threw both the gunblades and the weapon rotated in the air firing continuously as if they were being controlled remotely. Proved useless once again as the figure dodged them...again. "Stay still and get shot dammit!" he yelled in an anime like way. The blades then did a U-turn and returned back to Blaze.

"That would be stupid!" yelled the figure back.

"Wait did you just make small talk?"

"Uhm...no..."

"If you say so" Blaze charged at the figure and their blades clashed. It continued for what seemed like hours and by the time they pulled away there was twenty minutes left until January. "If I hold it off for a bit more I can make it!". But although Blaze seemed not to notice the way the figure was acting he was actually trying hard to figure out the reason for it's actions. Blaze knew it could overpower him...outsmart him and hell even kill him without much effort. But he threw those thoughts to the side and kept fighting.

"Let's finish this..." it stated as it drew one of the blades around it and held it in hand.

"Yeah..." and with that the last charge began. When their blades crashed the force was too strong that it's mask began to crack but from the side some figures cheered.

"C'mon kid You can do this!" yelled the cat Beastkin.

"Hmph...you are almost there keep pushing to attain victory" stated the one inside the armor.

"Stop being a bastard and cheer" stated the white haired figure.

"C'mon SHATTER IT!" yelled the black hair man. But separately from this group the masked man from earlier watched in excitement. This was it, the home stretch.

"Yes, Yes...YES! Shatter it and let it begin make the gears in this god forsaken world turn!".

Blaze put in more force in and when the mask was about to completely shatter the figure suddenly hugged Blaze and that caught Blaze by surprised. His blade scrapped the edge of the mask and it shattered to pieces. What was bellow was a girl with long white hair and an eyepatch. It was someone he knew well enough to recognize now. "Ori...hime?" The giant clock in the park struck twelve and a bell began to ring.

"Congratulations" she said with a smile and tears coming out of her eyes which were miscolored one blue one red. "Welcome to the future...my master" and then Blaze embraced her and they stayed like that as if they were the only two in the world.

"He's done it!" yelled the twin tailed blond girls.

"Finally!" the others yelled even the man in the armor.

"YES FINALLY! The gears of time are now shifting now let's begin this game anew! It is time you awaken Blazblue!". With that the world was covered in light. It was the time for a new battle and this one was unlike any else. The race for the future has begun and only one can come on top now who will be the one who Shatters Fate?

ShinigamiYui: That was a very long prologue!

Me: Hey I worked on that a lot ok so at least gimme a break!

ShinigamiYui: Well guys sorry I didn't do this by myself. I don't have the confidence yet so I asked my closest friend which is Dragoneel for help and he was a pall about it!

Me: You're welcome!

ShinigamiYui: Next time we will see the world outside the loops and learn who the people watching from the shadows are and what the game that is about to begin is. Well see you all next time.
