Hey this is my first story so I hope you enjoy. I pretty much got inspired to make this from playing Continuim Shift II. Read and Review if you want to hope you enjoy!
It was the year 2200 and the world's surface has been covered in a poisonous gas of seithr forcing people to live on mountain cities. In the ruins of the city of Ikaruga where the Second War of Ars Magus happened, a young man was investigating what looked like an abandoned lab. This man was known as Ragna the Bloodedge. He was the most wanted criminal by the NOL.
His spiky, white hair didn't stand out as much as his green left eye and red right eye or the giant sword on his back. He wore a black shirt that with white trimming in the middle which was covered by vibrant red coat and he wore a black hakama with steel-toed shoes. He also had black gloves that had a red shell like attachment to his arms.
However, both of his arms though weren't what you would call normal. His left arm was mechanical after losing his original one in a recent battle to save his friend. His right one, which he lost when he was young, is a prosthetic even though it looked and felt like the real thing. This is because his right arm is a very powerful device called the Azure Grimoire, which has the ability to gather souls and access to the Azure, the true power of the Boundary, which is a place where all timelines meet.
Ragna was looking around the lab and saw computers that we're still active and many notes, both having information with about a something called the '11th Prime Field Device.' "So this is the place where Kokonoe found that new body for Nu. I can't believe they both look so much like her," Ragna said as he read about the 11th Prime Field Device was a failure and was just thrown away like scrap metal.
Prime Field Devices, which are also known as Murakumo Units, are artificial humans that were created to explore the Boundary since humans can't survive in the Boundary. Ragna was talking about Nu, also known as Nu-13, a special Murakumo Unit. Unlike the other Murakumo Units, Nu had an Azure Grimoire in the form of an eye patch. Both Nu-13 and the 11th Murakumo Unit, known commonly as Lambda-11, have a close resemblance to Ragna's younger sister Saya. Saya was kidnapped, brainwashed, and is now the leader of the NOL.
Just as Ragna had finished his investigation, a young teenage girl showed up. She wore a large beige jacket that had giant paw like sleeves with only three slits for the opening. She had the cat-eared hood up so it shadowed her face only showing her red beady eyes and toothy grin. The boots she wore also had a cat-like theme. She has two blond braids that stood out from the holes on the hood and a black tail with a white end coming out of the back of her jacket. "HEY GOOD GUY I'M HUNGRY! Are Tao and good guy going to have lunch soon?" shouted the hyperactive catgirl known as Taokaka or Tao for short.
Tao is known as a member of the Kaka clan, a group of genetically engineered humanoid cat-people, who lived under the city of Kagutsuchi in the Kaka Village. Tao left the village in order to get stronger so she tagged along with Ragna even though the reason why is probably because he always gives food to Taokaka.
"Ok, ok, I just finished looking around so I guess we can take a lunch break," Ragna said as he sat down and took out the two bento boxes that he bought from a store on the outskirts of ruins. Tao began drooling at the sight of the bentos on the ground and took the one that had a grilled salmon in it and stared eating. "Delish~! This grilled salmon isn't as good as boobie lady's meat buns but it's still yummy." Ragna just laughed as food began falling out of the teenage Kaka's mouth while she talked. "Hey after lunch we're gonna be heading to Sector Seven so you better get ready." Tao put down her bento, had a confused expression on her face, and said, "Uhhhh… Sector Seven? Oh, isn't that where tail lady is!" Trying to remember whom Taokaka refers to as tail lady, Ragna said, "Uhhhh you mean Kokonoe right? Yeah that's who we're going to be seeing. She wanted me to get information from here to finish up this big project of hers?" Ragna holding up a CD full of research about the Boundary that scientists in Ikaruga had found while creating Lambda. "Haha! Tao's excited now! Maybe tail lady built a super bed that Tao can take a nap on," Tao said finishing her lunch. Ragna finished his lunch too and made sure the CD stayed in his pocket. "Well I'm done so let get out of here Tao," and Ragna started leaving the ruins of the Ikaruga labs.
Ragna and Tao arrived in Sector Seven seeing many scientists pass by as they headed to Professor Kokonoe's office. Once they arrived at their destination, they saw many familiar faces. They saw the short scientist pink-haired, cat-like scientist, Kokonoe, eating candy; the 7 feet tall cyborg known as "The Red Devil" Tager, the young squirrel girl who went by the name of Makoto Nanaya, and the young blond lady that went by Noel Vermillion.
Taokaka ran past each one calling them by each of her nicknames for them in order. "Hey there tail lady, big guy, furry girl, and lacking lady!" Noel made had an annoyed expression on her face and said, "STOP CALLING ME THAT TAO!" "But you are lacking, lacking lady," Tao said as she poked Noel's chest. Kokonoe then decided to stop Tao from her crazy antics by distracting her. "Hey kid want some candy? I'll give this box full of it," Kokonoe said as she tossed the box full of sweet and making sure there was no silvervine candy in it. (A/N: If you have seen Tao's Help Me Professor Kokonoe, you'll understand what I'm talking about.) As soon as Tao saw the box of candy, she leaped for it and began to eat the candy by the handful.
"Ok now that the Kaka has settled down, Ragna do you have the information that I asked you for?" the half-cat scientist asked sticking her had out awaiting her requested research. Ragna nodded his head and gave Kokonoe the CD with all the recorded data from Ikaruga. "Perfect, with this my project will be complete. Give a few minutes to put this in," Kokonoe said as she was gazing at the disc holding so much information on the Boundary. She then walked to her computer and put the disc in a slot where the computer read the information. She then began typing multiple codes and finally pressed enter when she finished. "Done now let's give the computer a few minutes to do its thing."
Everyone in the room except Tao, who was finishing the last of the candy in the box, watched as the computer screen glowed; as did multiple cords connect to the computer. The cords led to a circular structure that was hidden under a tan tarp. Once the glowing stopped, Kokonoe walked over to the structure and grabbed the tarp. "Ahem, may I now present," she said with a grin and pulled the whole tarp, "my Boundary Window!" The machine in front of them had a 10 feet octagonal, ring-like structure, and a computer next to it. Everyone was either surprised or confused since they didn't know what they were looking at.
Tager was the first one to make a comment. "So this has been what you've been doing this eh, Kokonoe. I must ask though, what IS this machine suppose to do?" Kokonoe turned to respond to the question everyone else wanted to know too. "Well I'll try to make this simple for the pea-brains in the room," she said eyeing Tao who had apparently walked to the machine and tried biting it thinking it was a giant donut. After getting the Red Devil to pull Taokaka away from the machine, Kokonoe continued explaining. "As some of you know, the Boundary is a place where timelines intersect." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Well from strenuous research I've discovered that it also holds a gateway to other dimensions. With this device we can observe those dimensions in safe manner."
Everyone was amazed at the thought being able to see other worlds except for Taokaka who didn't understand a thing Kokonoe said and asked, "Uhhhh, tail lady what are 'di-men-shuns'?" Kokonoe sighed expecting that kind of response. "Ok kid, I'll give you an example that your tiny brain can comprehend. Somewhere in the Boundary, there is possibly a world with an infinite amount of fish reside and we can see it with this thing." Tao suddenly realized what the Boundary Window could do. "Oh! Now Tao understands tail lady, I think." 'She only understands things when it involves food' was what everyone was thinking after seeing Tao jump around saying she understand what the Boundary Window could do.
"Now who wants to be the person to choose our first dimension to look at?" Kokonoe said while taking out a lollipop from her pocket and pointing to the computer that had been turned on. Makoto quickly raised her hand in excitement and had a twinkle in her eye. "Ok I guess the squirrel gets to go first. Just choose a set of coordinates from the list and the machine will do the rest," the scientist said letting Makoto get in front of the computer and choose from the list. After Makoto chose the coordinates of her choice, the ring structure started to produce multi-colored smoke that then formed into a spiral portal. Everyone, except Kokonoe, took a couple steps back fearing the machine wasn't working right. Soon the portal started forming into a picture and showed what appeared to be the ocean and a ship with a lion figurehead floating. Kokonoe took out a device that appeared to be a remote with a screen and read what had appeared on the digital screen. "It seems the world she chose is a world where the majority of the world is covered in water and is in the 'Great Pirate Age.'"
Amazed at what they saw looking through the machine, everyone, except Kokonoe and Tager, wanted a turn at choosing their own personal world. Ragna had chosen a world where alchemy exists and was performed by using transmutation circles. Noel had found a world where humans had the ability to transform into weapons and partnered with someone compatible to them. Just as Taokaka was about to choose the coordinates she wanted, the computer started to show 'ERROR' in huge bold words.
Kokonoe noticed this and immediately tried to see what was wrong. "What the hell is going on? There's nothing corrupted in the system yet it's going haywire." The smoke on the portal started turning into a dark purple color and began to suck in everything around the room. "Crap, it's turning into a wormhole. Everyone grab a hold of something!" Tager grabbed the doorframe, Tao had to grab onto the computer of the machine, and Ragna, Noel and Makoto were trying to get a hold of the desk in the room. "Hey Kokonoe you better fix this quick or else who knows what will happen!" Kokonoe was getting pissed off and had a scowl on her face. "Look you bastard, I don't even know what's going on so keep you sissy mouth shut and let me work!" Seeing how mad the cat scientist was nobody tried saying anything to her and grabbed on to whatever they could.
The portal was getting darker as much as the wind was getting stronger. Even Tager couldn't keep his grip on the doorframe and started to slip. Kokonoe started losing her grip on her computer and decided that if she weren't able to stop it she would make a last minute change with where the wormhole led to. She had the computer set up but the portal was vacuuming her up so she couldn't set in coordinates. Kokonoe noticed Tao still had a good grip on the computer. "Hey kid!" Tao noticed Kokonoe talking to her. "You have to set the coordinates of where this wormhole goes. Just choose one of the choices on the screen and press the big button. HURRY!" Taokaka barely made out what she was saying and chose whatever coordinates were on the computer.
After pressing the button both Tao and Kokonoe began to slip and were sucked into the portal. Before they were sucked in Tao made one more plea for help "Rawgna help save Tao and tail lady!" Makoto couldn't grab on any longer and was sucked into the portal. "Noel, HELP!" Noel saw her friend get sucked in and tried to reach out to save Makoto but lost her grip too and was sucked in too.
Ragna and Tager saw that they were the last people in the room and were both losing their grip. "Dammit what should we do Red Devil we can't destroy that thing or else they'll be trapped. Should we just jump in?" Tager looked at the screen and saw Kokonoe's last minute changes. "Don't worry Bloodedge that wormhole leads to another dimension and it's safe to go through." Seeing how neither of them could grab on any longer they let go and let themselves get sucked in.
After both men got sucked in the machine started to suck itself in bringing the Boundary Window to the same dimension everyone was heading to. The only thing that was where the portal use to be was Kokonoe's remote. The screen had the coordinates on it and the name of where everyone was going: Magnolia Town, Fiore, Earthland.
Well there's the first chapter of this crossover next chapter will be taking place in the Fairy Tail universe so get ready! Please review and tell me how I did with this.
