Chapter 2

Meeting the Crew

(Ragna Pov)

After getting dressed I went to open the door as the hyperactive Shimakaze flung it open and grabbed my hand saying"C'mon c'mon you're being so slow you want to meet the others don't ya?" I wondered how something could be so excitable then a thought creeped into my head

"She's a more excitable and probably smarter Tao..hopefully smarter." I thought as she dragged me along to what I guessed to be the dining hall. The moment we walked in she quickly announced

"I have Ragna with me Admiral and everyone who has yet to meet him should do it quickly Ranga hasn't eaten after all." she nodded with a bit of pride for someone about half my height she talks like me not a good combination

Then again she took on that Wo bitch handedly so I won't doubt she can back her talk up." in seconds i felt all eyes on me making me shift uncomfortably there were ten girls in here counting Shimakaze I wasn't used to this"Only time I have this many eyes on me is when I either dine and dashed or burned a NOL branch to the ground." a girl with long gray hair in a sailor uniform with orange eyes walked up she gave me a look of suspicion. She like Shimakaze wasn't very tall compared to me or her admiral.

"So you're the guy that supposedly tore the Wo-class Flagship in two with a sword eh I don't see it." I thought after that comment

"Please tell me she isn't the Platinum 2.0 without Sena or Trinity edition because I may send someone through a wall over this one." I sent a look of annoyance at her and said "Tch want to test that theory out pipsqueak we'll see how far I can bunt you." Shimakaze giggled while said Pipsqueak fumed before commenting

"The name's Murakumo Kai spiky not pipsqueak and if you wanna go let's see how many tazer rounds you take." I thought as she said that

"Scratch that Nu 2.0 except this one's only annoying not homicidal." I cracked my knuckles as she gave me a grin when two girls got in between us one was my height the other was again about half mine. The one stopping the pipsqueak was a brown haired girl in a schoolgirl outfit or sailor outfit not to sure (I'm not sure what to count it as I apologize now) Pipsqueak growled

"Inazuma let me go spiky is going to get a good walloping!" the girl Inazuma then spoke up in a tone of voice I found very cute it was panicked yet somehow shy

"I..I'm Inazuma Kai I apologize for Murakumo's hostility she's like this with everyone at first nanodesu." the woman in front of me was in a miko outfit she gave me a look that said to back down I gave a sigh saying

"Pipsqueak isn't worth the trouble anyway." she then told me in a very mature tone contrasting from the three I met already

"I am Kongou Kai Ni one of the strongest in our little group a pleasure to meet you." I allowed a small smile before saying

"Yeah no problem name's Ragna as Shimakaze said." I turned to say something but, she was already at the table devouring food at a rapid rate. We both sweat dropped and I thought while Kongou's smile twitched

"Dear god she is like Tao a goddamn food vacuum no way in hell am I going to shore with her." that's when another woman this one was taller than Kongou meeting me at an equal height where I had Kongou by a few inches this one however I met eye to eye with easily.

"I am Graf Zeppelin kai a very rare ship in this collection I heard of your accomplishment of killing the wo-class flagship." she gave a grip to my shoulder she squeezed down on it"from the feeling of your muscles you are quite well trained I am impressed." I looked to the side before saying

"Hm i better be I didn't put up with my master's bullshit training to stay weak." she smiled next was a more sizeable person her eyes equal with my chin she had a hat on with a confident curious look to her.

"Hmmm aren't you a hunk eh I'm Akatsuki Kai Ni and this.." she paused pulling a girl that was hiding behind her she was slightly smaller and dressed similarly she continued"is Hibiki Kai my little sis say high Hibiki!" she was shaking terrified like a kitten I wondered what to do and decided I rubbed her head and said

"It's nice to meet you no need to stress any greetings till you feel more comfortable." she then said cutely

"I..i..it's nice to meet you Ragna I..I am Hibiki ." her eyes had sparkles in them for some reason and finally breaking free of Inazuma's grip pipsqueak returned to rushing at me with fires in her eyes. Right before she could crash into me she was gripped by a girl that looked like Inazuma but, held a much more prideful smile and was a few inches taller her head able to touch the bottom of my chin.

"Don't worry Ragna I won't let her touch you I am Ikazuchi Kai the twin ship of the Inazuma now what to do with you my dear Murakumo hehe." that mischievous laughter made the latter shiver in slight fear.

"Hehe you're so popular on your first day aren't you ." it was a girl that was around my height in traditional archery equipment a bow and quiver on her back she smiled gently at me before going on with"I am Shoukaku kai ni A a pleasure." she bowed and I simply nodded. Shimakaze then bolted back over as well I commented

"Done eating the kitchen dry already." she proudly nodded before picking up on the insult and claiming

"S..shut up I..i'm a growing ship." I just chuckled before finally acknowledging the heavy set glare on my back and turned to meet who it was it a girl with an eye patch a yellow eye with a black suit dress hybrid(I'm terrible with descriptions forgive me!) I clicked my tongue before saying

"Why don't you introduce yourself before glaring a hole through someone unless of course you want to be down an arm too." my voice was rough I could feel the hostility of this one and I thought"Well looks like Pipsqueak got demoted back to Platinum this one is most definitely the most like Nu even if there isn't much physical resemblance." she made a walked over eyes in a sharp glare before saying

"I'm Tenryuu Kai a light cruiser now mr swordsman I will be fair I don't trust you for a second between this whole island bit and the false right arm I won't kill you not until you show you mean harm." I rolled my eyes before responding

"Yeah yeah heard it all before still as annoying as before.."she then interrupted me with

"Annoying!" I continued saying

"Did I mispronounce it yes annoying mostly because if I meant you all harm….I would have either killed Shimakaze the moment she decided to get close to my fallen body used it as a reason for you to come to the island and killed you all in ambushes one after another that or I would have located my sword by now then, shove it's 4ft blade 8ft up your admiral's ass before killing you all." they all blinked even the admiral who was silent before he gave a small chuckle saying

"Well I'm not surprised you'd have a plan for a quick escape not that I can blame you after being attacked by the Wo-class though try to keep it a bit cleaner." I gave my own grin before replying

"Hell you're in the military clean is on the near bottom of the priorities in a quick getaway so the pot's calling the kettle black." he laughed before lighting a cigarette and saying

"Touche Ragna touche." after I ate with Shimakaze continuously telling me to be quicker about it so she could show me my living quarters and Inazuma was trying to keep the hyper girl calm. She then mentioned

"Oh oh when we get to port where the others are waiting with my sister I'll have to introduce you I'm sure Amatsukaze would love to meet you!" I looked at her so she had a big sister how fitting. Getting up I noticed not just was Shimakaze with me Ikazuchi,Akatsuki and Hibiki were following me as well. Before I could question them the Admiral said

"Right Ragna your sword is in your quarters those three are going with you because they were interested in seeing your weapon personally." I nodded before asking

"Alright but, anywhere I can practice my sword arm rather not get too comfortable after all." he smiled and responded

"Yeah we have a small gym on the third deck below this one there's some empty room for you to practice I'm sure." I gave thanks and with my little entourage I headed towards the room that Shimakaze was guiding me too with a quick patter of feet. Opening the door to the room it was of a medium size a dresser for extra clothes if I get any a porthole window overlooking the ocean I looked to the bed it was a large bed and there was a mirror off to the side of it. Finally sitting in it was bloodscythe I could tell it was properly cleaned and from the looks of it properly sharpened.

"Whoa this is your sword holy hell no wonder you gutted that abyssal!" Akatsuki said in amazement while Ikazuchi seemed to ask a reasonable question

"Are you even human being able to carry that hunk of metal?" while I did find the hunk of metal bit a little excessive I internally chuckled while thinking

"Wonder how'd they react to Kagura's Zweihander?" I picked it up spinned it in my hand expertly before locking it into the x shaped belts Hibiki then commented

"So that's what they were for." that was a perfect example of a Noel response if there ever was one before I answered ikazuchi

"I'm human just trained a lot and to be fair this hunk of metal has been my saving grace more than once." they nodded in understanding before Hibiki asked

"Umm Ragna c..can we see how you use it the sword?" I nodded before adding in

"The sword's name is bloodscythe and why do you think I asked your boss about having a place to practice?" their eyes lit up and I felt my left arm get grabbed by the excited hands and I thought "did I screw up?"

(In the Admiral's Office Admiral Pov)

"Sir in all do respect are you goddamn crazy letting him have his weapon after what he told us!" Tenryuu roared at me shaking me by my collar before Kongou pulled her off of me and I thanked her. I then said a smile on my face

"I understand your anger Tenryuu but, I believe in Ragna not being a threat besides if he was as he said he could have attempted to kill us all from the beginning or just joined with the abyssals. I'm also sure Tenryuu when you see his emerald eye you can tell right that he has gone through a lot even if he isn't willing to admit it yet so give him some time I'm sure you'll find a part of him you like." it was pure silence in the room and the light cruiser then slammed her fist into my head with a growl saying

"Quit acting cool!..."after another moment of silence she then responded with "fine I'll play ball with you admiral just don't come crying to me when shit hits the fan." I nodded tipping my hat with a smile I win again Tenryuu.

"So why don't we go meet up with the others and watch Ragna practice I'm sure we should learn how he fights so if I...nah I'll leave my plans secret for now." this statement riled Tenryuu up she growled

"What plans Admiral?!" I simply chuckled this idea I had will make things a bit more fun.

(Ragna Pov)

My damn jaw about hit the floor when we walked into the gymnasium it wasn't a part of the third deck whole place was the third deck."Tch and I thought that damn academy had a big gym." I had been dragged there one day by Jin to help teach phys ed of all goddamn things after we met in a restaurant I was about to dine and dash from because of Tao he paid for it all if I helped him when I asked him why me of all people he told me

"It's an all girl class and if I relied on Kagura he would end up in jail for pedophilia at least with you it won't be a 3 hour lesson on flirting with women." It was a long ass day to summarize it up one that ended with me about killing Jin and getting an unwanted fan base that also happened to consist of girls that go to that school anywhere from 19 to 14. I shook my head looking around for the area he told me about. There was a large swimming pool which made me wonder just how huge this freaking ship were on is,a volleyball area,tennis court,shooting range along with other small sports and gymnastic set ups. On the farthest we could go to the left there was a large patch of empty space and by large I mean enough to where you could have me and Jin fighting at the same time as Tager and Azrael while still having enough room for two more rumbles.

"Damn and I thought he said it was of a reasonable standard." I began walking forward while saying"Alright now all of you stay back there my swings have some range to them." unclipping my sword I felt something click in my head after a few swings I saw a shadow. It was just a mental visualization something to swing at without fail though even then I could hear his taunting remarks from under his yellow cape however crawling through that self satisfied smirk.

"Oh what's wrong little puppy does someone need a hand or should I say arm? Then again we can't really see eye to eye on boths sides so doesn't matter now does it?" I let a glare go as I muttered under my breath in anger

"Terumi."

(Akatsuki Pov)

I was amazed from the few boring swings he took it shifted to an all out combo of swings. It started off with a forward slash that then was shifted and done again in the opposite direction he then roared out as he did a spin kick"I'm sick of these games!" and then after the first kick landed on the head of the Wo-class I imagined he was pretending to fight he roared"Tell me how to save her Bastard!" I didn't understand that bit but, it was still awesome watching him as he followed up with another kick pulling the imaginary Wo-class higher as he said it. Then using momentum I guess he roared"I can't afford to lose this!" at this point I could feel Admiral and the others behind us also in awe at how he seemed to move through the air perfectly.

(Admiral Pov)

To say I wasn't stunned would be a lie we had gotten in the room as Ragna had yelled out"I'm sick of these games!" as we got there I saw him with that cold glare towards nothing and could tell instantly that he was imagining something painful someone he hated with a passion as I watched him drag himself higher in the air with a rising slash that defied gravity I knew what the girls were thinking of a ship girl a wo-class probably me I could see a man a murderer a memory that was probably tormenting Ragna for a long time. At the end of the rising slash he did a single slice with his sword before spinning into an axe kick roaring"I won't let you take another life!" he landed swinging his sword outward before locking it on his back by the belts I thought

"So that's what those were for I thought they were for style." I walked up to him

(Ragna Pov)

I rushed at him doing a double swing to his stomach then I went into a gauntlet hades absent mindedly calling out the bastard for what he had done. I went further though using an Inferno divider dragging the shadow higher I heard it laugh out madly "Oh how cute Rags don't you think it's a little too late to save her I mean all she's just a bro…" I cut him off with a quick slice going into a downwards spike of an axe kick landing I sheathed my blade as the shadow faded.

"Well that was quite the show Ragna." it was the Admiral he tipped his hat with a grin as I simply responded

"Yeah sad to say there won't be a sequel unless you're willing to be a bit nocturnal as I usually practice before I turn into sleep." he nodded and asked

"So why did you do it right now? It's only mid day." I chuckled looking at Akatsuki,Hibiki and the others before saying

"They wanted to see a few tricks of mine so I showed off a bit for them to keep'em off my back." as if to mock me Akatsuki jumped into my back and saying

"Ain't happening Ragna if it ain't me bugging you I'm sure Shimakaze's got it covered don't ya?" said speedster nodded appearing in front of me with a smile her little cannon robots standing in a salute. Graf then said

"Your style is bound by your rage and empowered by your own anger I must ask makes it so?" along with that Kongou added in

"Yeah the entire time you were glaring Ragna you should tell us your problem." Shoukaku commented as well

"It would be for the best so you can rest easier." this was a perilous situation there wasn't a chance in hell I could get out of this I then thought

"Just tell them about some things." I sighed and said "Fine fine I'll talk but, let's get somewhere a bit more comfortable." we went back to the dining hall and all eyes were on me so I told them about what happened at the church at my home and ended it there I began with "So it started with me along with my siblings Jin and Saya…"

(Abyssal base ? Pov))

"This human is quite interesting I like him alot don't you agree Princess II?" I said with a small smile I had set up the Wo-class to die in sense which I was fine with it meant I got more salvage to play with.

"Hmmm yes he is quite interesting and quite good looking fine I have decided he shall be claimed for the abyssal armada set up an ambush for tomorrow I'm sure you have it done." I nodded it was a little something I put together for them

"I didn't go after those fast little experimental bitches for fun and games for course she'll be done I'm sure she'll enjoy a chance to play with her Admiral." I looked at my toy from my seat her eyes blinking from their normal color to a deep crimson her voice croaked on before going to a small innocent giggle saying

"I wanna play with admiral~ he'll be caught and become mine hehe~" it was demented and I loved it I thought"I can't wait to put this man through my "brainwashing" programming he'll be leading us in no time as the princess wishes."

Omake 2- Ragna's day as a P.E teacher

"So what the hell am I doing again Jin?" Ragna growled at his brother who only sighed before saying

"Before that brother you need to get changed into the work uniform." it was a low growl I could feel the stares of the students I sighed taking the bag from his hand and using the Azure flames incinerated it saying

"Like hell am I dressing like that so what are we doing." Jin growled at Ragna pawing at the hilt of Yukianesa while Ragna adjusted his collar and Jin said.

"Today all of you will be witnessing how an official of the NOL is supposed to dispose of a criminal resisting arrest." Ragna smirked before saying

"Actually it's more like watching a prick of a brother get his ass handed to him on a silver platter." the fight lasted for 2 hours and ten minutes in the end due to them trying not to destroy everything around them eventually Ragna won. Jin slowly tried to pick himself up as Ragna pulled him up he said

"That's why I'm not the teaching type dumbass." then Ragna turned to see all the girls looking at him with wide-eyes. One then said

"Y..you're so cool." they all began agreeing and Ragna felt the need to run for his life for a completely different reason now. Bolting the girl's chased after him till he finally got off the campus and he cursed his brother's name planning a payback.
