Kidnapped Chapter 2:Off with the head, a blazblue fanfic

Okay...here comes chapter 2. I don't own any BlazBlue character. I do however own my OC.

For those of you who don't get what a field katana is, it is a weapon used by low rank Japanese soldiers in World War II, it is very short, a bit longer than 50cm (20cm are already for the handle, so the blade isn't very long)

Noel steps backward, tries to stop the approaching assassin by bullets, but every bullet was match in mid air. The man kept walking toward her, dual M1911 in hand. Just a step away from her, he stopped, and...just stare at her. Noel lock eyes with him. His gray eyes are totally lifeless, his glare is even colder than Major Jin Kisaragi's. Then, seemingly getting herself back to the situation at hand, Noel finally swipe him with her Bolverk. The assassin dodges, then pull out the field katana in synchronize with the dodge, then swipe it at her, aim for the neck. Noel position her guns to a cross in front of him, blocking the blade. The hit was so hard that although she blocked it, she loses balance a bit, force her to step back a bit, lose sight of the man in front of her for a second. But when she look back, no one. She is terrified. "Where is he? Is he behind me? Is this an illusion technique? Or did he just decided to spare me and leave?" Her thoughts races uncontrollably, and so does her heart. She spends the few next second pointing her guns everywhere, trying to make sure she was secure before seeing Makoto getting back on her feet. She sigh in relief, and move toward Tsubaki, still on the ground.

-Tsubaki? You okay? Talk to me!-Noel ask.

-I'm...I'm fine...It hit my shoulder...should take a few days to recover...-Tsubaki answer, still in a bit of pain.

-Can...can you get up?

-Yeah...

Noel helps Tsubaki stands up, then Tsubaki signals her that she can walk on her own. Then, they look at the half-squirrel girl, faces in horror as the black shadow returns, swiftly approach Makoto from behind.

-MAKOTO LOOK OUT!-They yelled.

But it's seems to be that no killing intent was aimed at her, as she falls to the ground unconscious, being bash in the back of her neck with a gunbutt. Noel and Tsubaki look at the mysterious figure again, as he press each bullet into the Winchester engraved lever action rifle. "Tck, tck, tck, tck..." that sounds goes on and on like the sound of death bells to their ears...an intense minute has gone by... Finally "Chak", he closed the lever, indicating the gun is fully loaded. Tsubaki finally remove her gaze from him, and look around. Her eyes stopped, and widen at the sight of Jin, laying on a mess of knocked over chairs, unconscious. Her childhood friend, and the one she has always admire, where she left her feelings, now laying on the ground, beaten up, and unconscious. She felt like this is a dream, she felt dizzy and felt sick. She shot her glare back at the assassin, yell.

-How dare you! What have you done to the Major!

The assassin return to his mute-like personality, mocking her, provoke her to attack. it seems to work as Tsubaki steps forward. Noel tries to stop her.

-Tsubaki, don't! You are wounded! How can you beat him while wounded yourself!

-Shut up Noel! No one's does that to Jin!-Tsubaki said dashing towards the assassin, Izayoi in hand.

A short fight ensued. From watching, Noel can tell that the assassin, once again, is holding back by a long stretch, trying not to hurt Tsubaki. Well, not too much. He just parry her moves with the body of the rifle, not even bother as to return anything. He is basically waiting for Tsubaki to give up.

-(Panting)(Tsubaki)

-Tired?-The assassin finally opens his mouth, mocks her.

-You...you bastard! I'm going to kill you!

And with that, she dashes to him again, and with all her might, she heads forward, trying to stab him with the Izayoi. But her effort were wasted, as the man in front of her just turn his body to the side, and Tsubaki miss. Already weak as she is, he slightly tap the back of her head, and so, plus her momentum, pushing her fall face first into the ground, fatigue does the unconscious part for him.

-Jeez...you NOL never know when to give up...-He turned back at Noel-Now that interference is gone, and my job is done...I'll be leaving.-He said, heads toward the door.

-What about me?-Noel ask.

-What about you?

-You aren't going to leave that easy!-She yelled, but a part of her says it's suicide to say so.

-Fine. Guess I'll have to fight you to get out.-He said walking towards her

Noel again tries to stop him with bullets, knowing lever action rifle is slow for the lever action. But even with that, the man in dark blue is able to match the speed of two pistols...with a lever action rifle. Within the fighting, she noticed an aura around the assassin wrist, purple color, match the muzzle flash color. When she has to reload, he disappointedly shook his head and said.

-Isn't it clear? I know everything about you. You think the same techniques that I know you will use is going to work?

The blonde girl in blue and white stopped for a moment. He doesn't seem to have a killing intent towards them, besides Hazama. Still, what is he trying to do? Teaching her? Maybe...Noel decided to try and think of a new technique. Even if it old fashioned. And then...a thought came to her mind.

The assassin still tries to be generous. He should be leaving by now, the backup team should be here any moment. But something about this girl that interested him. Her looks? Blonde, emerald eyes, and...a hint of innocence...Maybe...He lets out a sigh..."Well, I'm gonna be dead anyway, so why not return God a favor?" He thought to himself.

Noel closes her eyes for a moment, calming herself down, taking a deep breath before opens her eyes, now full of hope and confidence. "I will defeat him!" she thought.

-Well, I'm waiting...What do you have?

-Can I borrow your katana?-She said nervously

-(Raise one of his eyebrow) It's cruel to kill someone with the very weapon they borrowed from him, you know that?

Still, he throw her his katana. Noel grab it, then switch to fighting stance. The assassin draws out his giant blade again, hitting the ground next to him, sparks flies out.

Noel charges at her, firing a distraction shot before swiping the katana towards the man in black. He jump to the air to the right, dodging those attack. That's when Noel grinned. She grab her red ribbon tails, and throw it at his direction, grabbing both of his arm. Then, the girl in blue throw the katana at his direction. Held by her ribbons, the assassin can't dodge. But instead, he draw out both of his M1911 pistols, and fire a shot that hit the katana off course, away from him. As he lands on the ground, Noel jumps up, does an arc around the assassin, so that her head is facing the ground, firing bullets from her Bolverk all that time. The assassin is somewhat surprised by her sudden burst of precise attacks, but still able to counter her attacks by matching bullets. Then, as Noel touch the ground, he does an arc himself, but this time, when he's right above of Noel, he twist himself and the ribbons, while still firing from his guns, tying his own arms together, but also tied Noel's arms. Realize her technique back fired, Noel has to think of a new attack in about...2 seconds. The assassin flip his body upright, before slamming the blade down at Noel. Instinctively she jumps away to dodge. That's when her body acted on it's own. She twisted herself in mid-air, releasing herself from the bond.

Thump...

In that split second, the assassin freezes, watch as the beautiful blonde hair girl in blue twisting herself out of his bond. Her hands are together in the air, so are her legs, and her eyes are slightly close, with a dreamy look on her face...He had never saw anything that made him freezes like that. As she continues to spin, the assassin can see the girl's slender waist, her beautiful back exposed from that hole on her uniform, and somehow, even that...lack of bosom is beautiful. It fits her petite body, her personality as well as her work perfectly... His eyes widened, the first time in years...the red ribbons release it's grip on her, forming circles surrounding the girl, made it even more beautiful. To his eyes, there was an white aura around her at that moment...As the twist finally ends, Noel opens her green emerald eyes, and when directly facing the assassin in mid-air, skill fully draw out one of her pistol, and aims for him. The assassin still can't break away from that state, and freezes as she fires. It was a hit. Left shoulder.

-VALKYRIE VEIL!-Noel yells out her Astral before lets out a stream of bullets, trapped the assassin in her powerful intricate glyphs. Then, as she finish. She clash the two gun together, lets her guns cool. But it's just seconds later before she collapse down her knees. She had used every ounce of her energy in that Astral...

Noel rested for a few minutes, relax that's it's all over. She defeated that masked assassin. It's over... Then, she froze on sight. Something...someone...it's behind her. She can here that footstep. She felt a demonic bind that kept her in place, although she doesn't have enough strength to even turn back. Then, she can sees someone walks to her front. She can see part of that dark blue coat, and that black pants...It was him...no one else. She summon her strength and look up.

Thump...

She felt like skipping a heartbeat. The assassin stood there, not even one scratch to his body, looking down at her, eyes full of murderous intent.

-Very good Noel...I will go as far as telling that I...underestimated your...abilities...-He said with a cold, stern voice, with a small hint of pain in it.

The assassin draw out the blade again, before doing a Jesus cross. Noel doesn't understand, and looks at him with a confused look. Then, to made it more simple, he use his two finger, and swipe it from one side of his neck to the other. This Noel gets perfectly.

-Off... with the head...-she whispered to herself, lowering her head as if accepting her death.

She can hear the blade's tip dragging on the ground towards her. She can see the shadow of the blade lifting up. A flashback goes on in her head...her parents, her friends, Major Kisaragi, Tsubaki, Makoto, Miss Litchi, and Ragna...She's still too young...she still has so many things to do, things to say...it this how it will end?

The beautiful blonde lets out a small drop of tear before looking at that shadow of the blade, then close her eyes.

"CLANG!"

To Noel, there was no pain, no sound. Nothing after that. To her...

Everything.

Just.

Went.

Black.
