Climax Crisis Chapter 6: Reunited once more
"Argh!" Azreal grunted as he threw his fist towards Kagura, who used his long bat of a sword to block the fatal hit. Kagura then shoved Azreal back, then going in for a kick to the gut, which Azreal grabbed with one of his bare hands, throwing Kagura back a couple of feet.
Kagura then hurled his sword's sharp edge back at Azreal's neck, just missing it as Azreal leaned back. Although, like Jin, Kagura was able to give Azreal's goatee a good old haircut.
"I swear you Duodecim puppy's seem to love giving out free haircuts!" Azreal grumbled under his breath as he went to throw another punch, missing as Kagura quickly dodged.
"Hay, it's free!... So enjoy it while you CAN!" Kagura yelled out loud as he swung his sword multiple times towards Azreal, just missing the mad dog as he dashed left to right, dodging each blow.
"Aww, what's wrong Mad dog? Don't you want another trip?" Kagura taunted as he swung his sword, performing a sweet trick before clutching the handle once more. Then slamming it down towards Azreal, who blocked it with a swift upper cut.
"I've been longing for the day to consume your flesh, Black Knight!" Azreal growled with some twisted sense of enjoyment. "Now, come... LET ME FEAST ON YOUR FLESH!" Azreal roared as he dashed forward, his fist ready to throw some deadly punches.
"Oof!" Kagura was sent flying into a tree, hitting his spine on the hard bark, causing a loud crack to be heard. Although despite the deadly kick, Kagura got back up immediately, readying his sword.
He then dashed forward towards Azreal, swinging his sword in a crossed pattern, leaving slice marks on Azreal's flesh. Azreal then let out a quiet chuckle as he went to uppercut Kagura, sending him high into the air.
Kagura, while in midair, pointed his sword's sharp tip towards Azreal as he plummeted back down towards Azreal. Although Azreal lunged to the side, avoiding being skewered. Then throwing his fist to the side of Kagura, just missing him as Kagura unlodge his sword, performing a backflip avoiding Azreal's strike.
"Little slippery bastard!" Azreal grumbled as he ran forward, swinging his fist multiple times towards Kagura's head, each one missing as Kagura ducked each time.
"Whoa, whoa! Hay, no need to throw those around! They could seriously hurt me!" Kagura taunted as he ducked to the ground, swinging his leg into Azreal's, tripping the Mad dog over before jumping onto him and began punching him multiple times in the face, as the two rolled over and over, punching each other hard in the face.
Each hit delivered by Azreal caused a dark purple bruise to appear on Kagura's pale skin. "Oof! Is that all you've got Mad Dog?!" Kagura grinned as he punched Azreal in the gut, then kneeing him in the groin.
"AHHHH!" Azreal screamed in pain as he fell to the side of Kagura, holding his wounded area while he went into a defensive position on the ground. Guarding his area from Kagura doing any more damage to it.
Kagura got up off from the ground to his feet, he then walked over to the Mad Dog, standing over him while possessing an smirk on his lips. "Not so tough now, are we?" He laughed in Azreal's face before leaning back up, turning around then heading back to his bike. He then jumped on and started the motor, although before taking his leave he back his bike up to where Azreal laid on the dirt. He then started the motor and made the wheels spin, flicking up dirt onto Azreal. "See you later, Mad Puppy!" Kagura taunted as he rode off, causing dust clouds to form around Azreal as he left.
Azreal the lied there groaning, "God the Imperator is going to kill me."
Ragna continued watching the images float by in the black void, although the one he was currently watching was the time that Saya...
*Flash Back*
"Arrrrhhh... AAAHHHHHhhhh.. ah.. ha.." Ragna and Jin's mother screamed in agony. Then she finally did it... After a couple of hours of hard work, she finally brought her third child into the world. Drenched in sweat and tears, the boy's mother breathed heavily as she did her best to catch her breath.
"It's a healthy girl, Professor!" One of the nurses there present declared as he handed the tiny baby wrapped in a soft pink blanket to her mother.
"S-She's so beautiful!" Their mother happily smiled as tears streamed down her pink cheeks, while snuggling her small cute new born.
"What are you going to name your child?" The doctor, who helped her give birth asked.
"I'm going to call her... Saya." She replied.
"Another Japanese name?" A man sighed as he walked in, wearing a pure white lab coat and glasses. He then stopped in front of the bed where Ragna and Jin's laid, staring at her with his blue dull eyes.
"And do you have a problem with it?" They're mother asked in a split between loving and slightly angered tone.
"Just... we're both English people, living IN England and yet... Our children seem to have Japanese names, due to your odd obsession with that culture." The father noted on his observation, pissing off the mother a little more.
"Oh, just leave it be, they're names aren't HURTING ANYONE!" She snapped in a displeased tone, before returning to an affectionate tone as she started talking to Saya.
"It hasn't been easy so far, Saya. But no fear... You, me and the boys are gonna make it!" She whispered as she kissed Saya's forehead.
The father then turned towards the exit, walking to it as he mumbled under his breath. "Finally... the third experiment has arrived!"
*Flash Back End*
Meanwhile as Ragna continued watching the memories go by, Jin continued to walk through the forest until he finally came to its end. Once he emerged from the thick layer of tree's he came to a huge stretch of green grassy lands. But straight away he spotted something, or more like someone off in the distance. Despite being really far away he recognized her straight away. Her long glossy red hair swaying back and forth in the gentle breeze as she continued to walk away. She also wore that familiar creamed colored zero squadron's uniform.
Jin stood there frozen on the spot in a mixture of shock and happiness. He then took a very deep breathe, then screamed at the top of his lungs, "Tsubaakkkkkkkkiiiiii!" His feet then unfroze from the spot, charging forward towards the young lady.
The girl gasped as she heard that familiar voice call out to her, "Jin?" She slowly turned around, only to be met with Jin immediately crashing into her, throwing his arms around her, pushing her back slightly due to such force.
"..Jin.." She mumbled softly as she pulled away from Jin slightly, taking a look at his face to see that she wasn't hallucinating. She then softly touched Jin's left cheek in a loving sort of manner. "Jin… Jin… Oh, JIN!" She repeatedly said his name as she returned the hug, wrapping her arms tightly around the blonde haired man's neck as she eagerly returned the embrace. A few tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Oh, Tsubaki… You're alright!" Jin said as he ran his slender fingers through the silky red hair as he continued to hug her.
"O-of course I am..." She replied, before asking, "You were worried about me?"
"That's not important right now!" Jin replied, "Why did you go off alone, Tsubaki? Why did you decide to go after Ragna?" He asked, his voice sounding colder now.
"Because.." Tsubaki began, "As a member as the Duodecim it is my duty to put an end to the evil of this world. There forth Ragna the Bloodedge must die!" She replied with an imperial accent.
Jin then pushed Tsubaki away, giving her a venomous glare. "I'll be the one to kill Ragna. Don't you dare lay a finger on him!" He warned her, while still possessing the death glare.
Although, despite the cooled warning, Tsubaki replied in a sweet tone. "But Jin, I promised you that I'll defeat Ragna and the Imperator... remember? When you saved me from the Imperator's mind eater curse." Tsubaki spoke quietly as she closed her eyes for a moment, remembering the one in a life time chance of seeing Jin being heroic. Her eyes then burst open as she felt her cheeks again heat rapidly.
Jin stayed quiet too for a moment, rethinking of what he told her. "I would gladly give my life to you, but 'if' and when I do, promise me... that you'll defeat evil... Ragna the Bloodedge and the Imperator, promise me!" Jin then snapped back to the present, seeing Tsubaki's face, all nervous yet.. happy looking at the same time.
Tsubaki stayed quiet for a few minutes more, staring at Jin with determination in her sapphire eyes. Although Jin decided to ignore what he told her back there, bringing up a more important note. "I said 'When' I give my life to you... I haven't yet, so there forth the promise does NOT stand!" Jin replied in a rather harsh tone.
Tsubaki continued to silently stand there, her crimson hair covering her face so Jin couldn't see her facial expression. Finally she raised her head, showing even more persistent look. "I'm sorry, Jin. But I decline your offer. Whether you're alive or not, when you are in no condition to fight. Your standards do not stand with me!" She replied.
"I wasn't making an offer, Tsu-ba-ki. I'm telling you to... BACK OFF!" He yelled at her, causing her to jump backwards, summoning Izayoi.
"I see... I'm sorry we didn't meet eye to eye, Jin!" She growled back as she readied he sword.
"Hmph!" An icy mist formed around Jin as some ice appeared in front of him, he then reached into the ice, pulling out Yukianesa. "Okay then, if it's that's the way you want it!" Jin snarled as he pulled Yukianesa out of its hilt.
"Whoever wins this duel shall have the honor to kill Ragna themselves!" Tsubaki declared, before charging forward. "Let righteous justice prevail!"
"ArrrghhAAAAHHHH!" The Imperator screeched as Azreal reported back with his failure to kill Jin and Tsubaki. "I send you to kill two of my enemies and you failed to deliver! Even though you claim to be thy Mad Dog?" The Imperator scowled at the disgruntled Mad Dog.
"Hmph! Not my fault that the Black Knight-"
"The Black Knight?" The Imperator mumbled under her breath as she closed her eyes, thinking to herself. 'The Black Knight just keeps getting in the way, I've got to figure out what his weakness-' Something then triggered in the Imperator's mind as she realized something about Kagura. 'He says that "All women of this world are my allies" I guess I'll have to use my troth card for him. But first... I have to pay 'him' a little visit.' The Imperator then disappeared as a black sphere engulfed her, leaving Azreal alone with the still sleeping Black Beast.
"Um... so... Do you work out?" Azreal asked the beast awkwardly.
The place that the Imperator teleported to was an heavenly styled garden, that was hidden within the forest beside Ikaruga. It was very bright with the vibrant lush colors of the grass and the glowing pink blossom trees. In the middle of the garden was a huge fountain where a beautiful person with long flowing light purple hair, wearing a pink kimono danced.
"Pardon me, beautiful gentleman." The Imperator said as she gracefully walked up to the most feminine man that she ever seen.
"Yes, miss." The man stopped his elegant dance, to happily pay his full attention to her.
"You are Amane Nishiki, am I correct?" She asked politely, while giving him a blank stare, struggling to give him an innocent smile.
"Yes, that is correct." He replied.
"My name is Izanami, I was wondering if you shall do the honor of joining my side in a... 'war' I'm currently in. If you help me, I shall grantee that your little dance troop with become the most famous dance and field troop the world has seen." The Imperator smirked, as she thought that he would gladly accept without thinking things through.
"No thank you!" He replied in a cheerful tone, causing the usually clam Imperator's eye to twitch with shock.
"Wha?!" She gasped, certainly surprised of his response.
"You see, what's the point of helping you when all you're going to do is destroy the world we live in? The only reason my troop will be famous is because everyone is dead... So I would gladly level grinned just to get my troop to succeed in my dreams. So I decline your offer, darling." Amane smiled with a cheerful gleam.
"Don't you 'darling ME! You sexually confused ballerina!" The Imperator snapped as she gave the youthful man a glare of death.
"Sorry, but I'm busy right now. May you please leave miss." Amane replied happily, before returning to his dancing. Causing the Imperator to storm off, while grunting some cursed words under her breath before teleporting off.
"Well that was rather entertaining." Amane heard a soft voice say, before seeing multiple rose petals appear in front of him where the fountain stood. Her then saw an gothloli girl appear in front of him with various petals scattered around her.
"It was... such a shame that a beautiful girl like her is consumed by so much darkness. Such a waste of good looks." Amane sighed with disappointment as he slowly twirled around.
"You know, you make my stomach churn when you say things like that lost soul." Rachel scolded as she gave Amane an rather unamused glare.
"Aw, I'm so terribly sorry, Rachel my dear."
Rachel let out a sigh, before replying, "It's fine. Now, shall we go take care of our part in this sad story?"
"Very well..." He replied as the two then teleported off, leaving the tranquil place to harmony.
