Chapter 11: The Sun And Moon
"If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they'd immediately go out." -William Blake
...
"Master Kira, the mind control has been broken. All the soldiers are now free" said Hikaru as she bowed before him.
"Hmm I see, such a pity. I was rather enjoying their suffering. But this is why humans are useless when it counts" said Kira as he let out a sigh.
"What shall we do?" asked Hikaru as she looked up.
"Send all the C-Gen we have on standby in Torifune. Make sure most of them are deployed to the NOL headquarters" said Kira with a smirk on his face.
"Understood, but...master why send them such a large number to the NOL headquarters?"
"Seems she had finally arrived. Capturing her now is our top priority" said Kira with a grin.
"She?"
"Yes, the Goddess Of the Moon...Tsukuyomi"
"Goddess? But isn't he a male?" asked Hikaru with a confused look on her face.
"Well...even I don't know the details. My memory is vague, but all that matter is that she is here and we need to capture her" said Kira with a sigh. "I leave her capture to you.
"Y-yes, your wish is my command", Hikaru suddenly vanished leaving Kira in the room alone.
"Now then, let's enjoy this little game of cat and mouse, hahahahahahahyahahahahah!"
"So...how long do you plan on keeping watch over me? Shouldn't you be helping your master" asked the men who sat on the top of a hill.
"Well not until I actually know what you're planning. Also I can't just let you run rampant inside my master's body. It's also basically my body" said the beast as it let out a sigh. The blond man then stood and looked towards the moon.
"You know...I can only stay in his consciousness, and I have no intention of taking over his body" the man said as he let out a sigh as well.
"I still don't know who you are since you refuse to tell me", suddenly a strange power caught the beast's attention. "This power...it feels similar to yours..."
"So she has finally arrived, seems like all the key players are here. Let's see how this will unfold" the blond man said as a smirk formed on his face.
"What exactly are you? Well that no longer matters, I should pay attention to the opponent who stands in front of my master" the beast said in an amused voice.
"No need, this is not an enemy, it's a friend and a very interesting one at that"
"Well whatever you say, but I am still going to stay sharp in case Azure needs help"
"So now you're willing to pay more attention to him?" the man asked with an awkward smile.
"Tsubaki...?", Azure stood unable to say anything. He was trying hard to contain his joy and surprise. Even though Tsubaki was hard on him most of the time he would still be happy to see her any day. After all they something special did once happen to them, although it was a secret between them.
"Huh? Who the hell are you" asked Azrael as he looked at the figure who stood before him.
"..."
"Tch, I see you don't talk much. Well then let me say hello in your stead!", Azrael suddenly charged at Tsubaki only to be blocked by what seemed to be a giant laser fan. "W-what?!" asked Azrael in surprised. "I can swear I put a lot of power into that punch but she simply blocked it with a fan without even flinching!"
"Ultimate Nox Nyctores: Getsumen Izayoi(Lunar Izayoi). Arth thou finished?", Azrael is suddenly flung to the computer screen by one swing of the fan. A brutal wind then blows throughout the whole room pushing all the others back.
"Such power!" said Akashi.
"What the hell is she?!" asked Shun as he stood up.
"Tsubaki...", Azure slowly approached her. He took a second glance at Tsubaki to make sure it was really her who stood in front of him. But without mistake it was indeed her. Her hair color was different but there was no mistake this was Tsubaki, the Tsubaki he knew and cared for.
"So thou arth Ragna the BloodEdge" Tsubaki said as she slowly walked towards him.
"You talk as if you don't know me" Azure said as he come to a stop.
"Indeed I do not. But my vessel knows you well" Tsubaki said with a smile on her face. She then stopped right in front of Azure, their faces almost touching.
"Vessel? Who exactly are you?" asked Azure as he stared into her violet colored eyes.
"I am...", but before she even had a chance to answer she was interrupted by Azrael who tried to punch her only to be blocked by the giant fan again. "Hmm, I see thou can still stand" she said with a smirk on her face.
"Ignoring me after blowing me away? That's not very nice of you" said Azrael as a red like aura surrounded him.
"Hey Azrael knock it off, she's not an enemy" said Azure as he glared at him.
"Tch fine, but if she tries anything funny I will make sure i am the one who blows her away" said Azrael with a wicked grin on his face.
"Wow he's scary" said Kirino as a sweat drop appeared on her face.
"Hey guys hate to bother you but umm...we have a situation" said Guren with a nervous look on his face.
"What's the matter?"
"Hmm seems we're surrounded" said Tsubaki as she let out a sigh.
"Oh crap...look at the monitor guys!" yelled Shun. The picture on the screen was a number of C-Gens and B-Gens in the hundred of thousands.
"Oh shit...we're screwed" said Azure as he looked at the unbelievable number of Gens who surrounded them outside.
"How arth thou planning to leave this place this instance?" asked Tsubaki with a amused smile on her face.
"Well first off you still haven't answered my question and second off I can just teleport away", Azure then focused all his power but he couldn't create a gate. "I-I can't teleport nor open a portal"
"Of course, tis impossible. There is an interference field around the city, leaving via teleportation of any kind is impossible" said Tsubaki as she closed her eyes.
"This is so unfair" said Azure as he sighed.
"No worries, I have our ticket out" said Kirino with a smile.
"Huh? You have a plan on how we can leave this place?" asked Shun as he looked at her.
"Yep!", Kirino then suddenly pulled a switch and a secret door opened where a screen stood.
"A secret passage?!" asked Akashi is surprise.
"Yep, hehehehehe never underestimate me" Kirino said with a bright smile on her face.
"Should I ask why you know there is a secret passage here?" asked Sora as she let out a sigh.
"Well you don't want to know. But come on let's go before we run out of time", one by one they entered the passage and Tsubaki followed behind Azure.
"Once we leave this place you have a lot of questions you have to answer" said Azure as he turned around
"If that is what thou desires so be it" she said with a smile on her face.
"Man the fact you smile at me often is proof that you are definitely not Tsubaki at the moment", she gave him a soft giggle at his comment and they continue walking down the long passageway.
"We haven't heard anything from Azure ever since he broke the mind control" said Ragna as they continued walking.
"He's probably in the process of escaping. After making that announcement, enemy soldiers must be storming around him" said Relius.
"Geez, you make it sound like he's not going to make it out of there alive" said Terumi with a grin.
"Well he's certainly in a bad situation" said Relius as he looked at Terumi.
"Don't worry...he will come back. He promised after all" said Saya with a smile.
"Even though you say that, you are more worried than anyone one else here" Said Ragna as he smiled at her and Saya blushed at the fact that the comment was true.
"S-shut up!" retorted Saya.
"Terumi!", a sudden slash wave came out of nowhere and Terumi just jumps out the way.
"Damn that was close" said Terumi with a nervous look.
"Oh no you don't" he's suddenly kicked down by a cat beastkin knocking him towards the ground.
"Master!" yells Ragna.
"Ragna what are ya thinking?! Being in cahoots with Terumi? Have you lost all reason?!" asked an enraged Jubei.
"Damn..." said Terumi as he slowly got up. "Shit...That hurt a hell lot more than I would've expected. I feel like I broke every bone in my body"
"This is your end Terumi!" said Hakumen as he raised his sword. "Empty Sky Form: Summer's Advance!" the slash wave headed straight towards Terumi only to be parried by Ragna's Carnage Scissors. "What are you doing Dark One?! Isn't Terumi your sworn Enemy?!" asked an enraged Hakumen.
"Yeah you're not wrong when you say that. But Azure said we need him alive if we want to save the world. If my revenge will cause the end of the world and cause me to lose those that I love, I rather have no revenge at all" said Ragna as he looked at Noel and gave her a smile.
"Hmph well said brother. I will help you hold them off" said Jin as he drew Yukianesa.
"Empty Sky Form: Summer's Advance!"
"Ice fang!", Jin's attack clashed with Hakumen's creating an incredible blast of wind. On the other side Jubei and Ragna clashed blades, although Ragna felt Jubei was going easy on him.
"Carnage Scissors!", the cat beastkin simply dodged the attacks the he stood still with an amused look on his face. "What is it?" asked Ragna as he looked at his amused Master.
"Seeing you two working together like this for the same cause makes me so happy I want to cry" said Jubei as he let out a sigh. "Ok then, let's stop this needless fighting", Jubei then sheathed his sword and looked at Terumi. "You get to live this time because of Azure, but after this is over I will send you to the depths of hell".
"Grimalkin?!" said an infuriated Hakumen.
"I know Hakumen, but stand down. Anything Azure says is for the good of this world. If he says Terumi being alive is beneficial there is nothing I can do" said Jubei as he closed his eyes.
"Alright then...I will stand down", Hakumen clenched his fist and then he slowly sheathed Ookami.
"Damn I gotta thank that Azure asshole for this one, I thought I was a goner" thought Terumi as he let out a sigh of relief.
"Ah phantom" said Relius as he looked at the ghostly figure. "I see you were also teleported here as well". Phantom just nodded, but they realized there was a lot of tension in the air.
"Ummm...should we go to the port now?" asked Noel with a innocent smile.
"Yeah she's right, remember what Azure said" said Saya as she looked at Ragna.
"Well I'll be! Is that you Saya" said Jubei as he looked at the blond hair.
"Yeah it is..."
"Welcome back I guess" said the beastkin with a smile.
"By the way, weren't you guys with Azure?" asked Celica, Terumi stood shocked unable to move as he saw who stood in front of him.
"H-how?! How are you alive?!" asked a horrified Terumi.
"Yuuki...Terumi" said Celica as she looked towards him.
"It's a long story Terumi, but we need to get to the port and fast" said Jubei. "So what of Azure?"
"We split up along the way. He headed to the NOL Headquarters to make the announcements" said Ragna with a serious look.
"Then let's go back to help him!" said Celica.
"That's a horrible idea" said Relius plainly. "The place is swarming with enemies by now. If we go in we can't come out". An awkward silence came forth as they all stood thinking of the fate that might have befallen Azure.
"Tch, I don't know that bastard very well but I doubt that stubborn son of a bitch is going to die from fighting an army" said Terumi as he tilted his hat down.
"Damn as much as I hate to agree with this son of a bitch, he's right" said Ragna as he looked at the others.
"We should all get a move on. Let's call forth a truce until we can figure out why Azure wanted us alive" said Relius. The others all nodded and they all headed towards their previous destination, but even with this truce there was still a lot of tension between them.
"So which way do we go now?" asked Azure as he looked at the two path which stood before him. One well made while the other, well it wasn't perfect but it seems as if someone dug it there.
"We want to go left towards the fancy made way" said Kirino.
"Ummm although I got a pretty good feeling as to where the right path leads but can you shed some light on it for us" said Sora as she looked at her friend.
"Oh that, it leads to my room" said a cheerful Kirino.
"How the heck did you dig this underground?!" asked Shun.
"Oh I used 'Konpeki no doragon no chisei(Azure dragon's Reign)'"
"You what?! How did you even pull that off?! That move is so destructive they told you that you weren't allowed to use that move in a spar match" said Shun as he looked at her in total surprise.
"Hehehehehe, it's a secret"
"Well this is what we get for asking" said Karin.
"Yep" said Akashi.
"Ummm...less talking more getting the hell out of here" said Azrael as he began to head onto the left path.
"Yeah he's right" said Azure. After a few minutes of walking they came face to face to what looked like a underground ship repair. "The hell is this place?" asked Azure as he looked around,
"This is an abandoned underground lab" said Kirino.
"Lab?" asked Guren.
"Yeah, I accidentally fell down this long hole one day and I ended up here. I was surprised a place like this existed under Torifune" said Kirino.
"So how will being here help us leave this place" asked Azrael as he looked at the strange devices. Kirino then walked towards something that was cover and she pulled the cover off. Under the cover where many devices which looked like boards.
"What are those?" asked Shun as he approached the devices.
"Hover-boards" answered Kirino.
"Hover-boards?" asked Karin confused.
"Yeah, seems whoever was down here was creating them. They use Ars to work, but the thing is these are all prototypes I don't know if they will work" said Kirino as she let of a disappointing sigh.
"Have you tried them?" asked Azure.
"Yeah, I've tried some but they don't work", but suddenly Kirino's look brightened. "But I played around with some of them and I got them to work" said Kirino.
"What do you mean when you say some?" asked Akashi.
"I mean I managed to make twelve of them work"
"You are just like a teenage version of Kokonoe" said Azure.
"So how does this strange device work?" asked Tsubaki at last.
"Simple, all you have to do is stand on one of them and command it to go", Kirino then picked up one of her custom tuned boards and climbed on top of it. "Start up", her crest appeared under the board and the machine started up.
"WOW! That's epic!" said Shun as he looked at the amazing board. "You really are something!", Kirino's face turned slightly red at the complement of the leader of the Disciplinary Committee.
"Hmm, humans are indeed interesting" said Tsubaki, as her eyes we're drawn to the board.
"Let's give this baby a try" said Azure as he climbed on one of the boards. "Start up!", is board started to hover over the ground but the propulsion of his was so strong that the wind began to pick up even when this place had no doors or windows. The only thing here was the huge hole above them that could be seen. "This thing is epic". The others also picked a board and they each activated theirs.
"Our only way out is the hole" said Kirino.
"W-won't we fall off if we head straight towards the hole?" asked Karin as she looked at the hole which stood high above them.
"Ahahahaha, don't worry. We're pretty much attached to the board when it's activated we won't fall", Kirino then turned the board upside down and she was hanging off the board. She was basically standing upside down.
"Ok then, let's do this" said Azure. One by one they blasted off towards the hole, their destination was one place the port. There was two hours left before the city was blown to bits by Take-Mikazuchi.
"Achoo!" sneezed Kokonoe as a displeased look formed on her face.
"Are you alright Kokonoe?" asked Tager as he looked at her.
"Yeah I am fine, just feels like someone was talking about me behind my back"
"Oh I see. Kokonoe the city has come into view" said Tager as he looked ahead.
"Good, alright speed this thing up then" she then walked to what seemed like a microphone and started talking. "Alright guys were almost there, all of you prepare for combat", cheers could be heard around the ship. "It's finally time, be ready for anything Tager" she said as she looked at him.
"Roger that"
"Finally!" said Luna as she came face to face with the port.
"We finally made it but...where's all the soldiers who are suppose to be here?" asked Tsubaki from Ragna's world.
"Oh I see you all finally made it" said the girl with the young appearance and she sat on the chair with the cat face.
"Rachel Alucard?" asked Litchi.
"Indeed It is I" said the girl as she closed her eyes.
"Finally" said Ragna as he arrived at the port with his group.
"TERUMI!" said Valkenhayn as he charged at him only to be stopped by Jubei.
"Good to see you too" said Jubei with a smile.
"My word why would you be with that mongrel and beast Terumi?!" asked Rachel in shock.
"Ask Azure" they all said in unison.
"By the way where is all the enemies?" asked Relius as he looked around.
"Relius..." said Valkenhayn.
"If you mean the beasts they are over there", Rachel mentioned to the mountain of fallen enemies.
"Oh my..." said Celica as she looked at the sight.
"As expected of valkenhayn" said Jubei as he let out a laugh.
"RAGNA THE BLOODEDGE!" yelled bang as he charged at him. Only to be blocked by Blood-Scythe.
"Not this moron again" said Ragna as he let out a sigh.
"Hey Ragna nice to see you again" said Kagura.
"Man you look like shit" said Ragna with a smirk.
"Yeah yeah you don't look so good yourself"
"I just fought an army, Hakumen, Jubei and Jin. Not very surprising I would look like shit" said Ragna as he let out a sigh. "By the way where is all the civilians and the soldiers?" asked Ragna.
"The civilians are all on the warehouse. The soldiers on the other hand are all hiding waiting to ambush all the enemies who come this way, but since the Imparator is here they probably..." said Rachel as she was interrupted by screams.
"Imperator!" said a huge number of soldiers as they raced towards Saya.
"W-what?!" asked Saya in confusion as they all bowed before her.
"Good to see you're safe" one of them said. But the sight of Ragna made them all get ready to attack. "Ragna The BloodEdge prepare to be apprehended!"
"Oh Shit!" said Ragna as he got into a fighting stance.
"All of you stop" said Saya as she stood in front of the soldiers. "I, Your Imperator command you to stand down" said Saya her eyes red but her hair still blond.
"W-what?!" asked Saya as she looked at her surrounding which was completely black. Suddenly a figure with violet hair who resembled her stood before her.
"Greetings" said Izanami. "To think you would force me to slumber for this long" she said as she let out a sigh.
"Who are you?" asked Saya as she looked at the girl who was basically the mirror image of her.
"My name is Izanami, the goddess who lives within your body"
"My body...?" asked Saya.
"Indeed, I was the one who has been in control of your body this whole time" the goddess said as she closed her eyes.
"So you're the Imperator they've been talking about?"
"Indeed, I will borrow your body so I can save your brother" the goddess said with a smile. But suddenly Saya runs towards her and hugs her.
"You don't have to, I am you and you are me. This is our body" she said with a bright smile.
"I must say...I will never understand humans"
"You don't have to. I sense your feelings inside me, I know there is a human you love and he's quite reckless too" Saya said with a bright smile.
"B-be quiet!" the goddess said with a blushing face.
"You're really cute when you're actually honest" said Saya and she let out a laugh.
"Let's go save your brother"
"Alright" said Saya as she held the goddess's hand.
"As the Imperious Librarium I command you all to back down from your task of hunting Ragna The BloodEdge" said Izanami.
"B-but"
"Not buts this is a direct order" she said in a commanding tone.
"As you desire" the soldiers all said.
"Where are the Shebalves?" asked Izanami.
"They are all ready to attack, but for some strange reason no enemies have shown up" one of them answered.
"That is quite strange"
"Izanami, good to see you're awake" said Relius as he approached her.
"Hmm Relius I see you're still alive", she then looks around only to see the six heroes united although not quite. "What of Azure?"
"Ummm, he kinda headed off with Azrael by himself and we haven't heard from him ever since" said Ragna hesitating because he didn't know how the goddess would react upon hearing this.
"He really is an idiot" said Izanami and Saya in a combined voice.
"So you two have finally merged?" asked Relius.
"We accepted one another, so we can let each take control over this body" said the goddess with a smile.
"I see" said Terumi, suddenly an imagine came to Izanami and she froze for a second.
"It is in your best interest to move from there" she said as she looked at the others.
"Why?" they all asked, then they heard a sudden scream and they all looked up.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THESE THINGS CAN FLY?" asked Shun as he looked at Azure.
"Hell if I know?! I know only three evolutions of these things" said Azure as he dodged a blast coming from a flying Gen.
"We're gonna crash!" yelled Karin, and the group suddenly fell down coming head first with the group that stood below them.
"T-that's it I officially hate flying" said Azrael as he got up.
"You said it" said Guren as he got up.
"So...someone please tell me we're at the port" said Shun as he rubbed his head.
"Yay Azure!" said Kanade as she embraced Azure who fell on top of her.
"G-good to see you" said Azure as he gave her an awkward smile. "I'm guessing you have no plans of letting me go now..."
"Nope you are going to stay with me like this for a while" she said as she gave him a smile.
"Oh good to see you again Azure" said Izanami as a dark aura surrounded her.
"C-calm down" said Azure as he trembled. Suddenly Izanami got down on her knees and hugged him too.
"You idiot! You promised you would stay by me!" said the goddess trying hard not to cry.
"I'm sorry" said Azure with an apologetic look on his face.
"Oh so this is the Izanami of this world" said Tsubaki. Izanami then looked at her and a look of surprise overtook her.
"This feeling...you're Tsukuyomi" said Izanami as he looked at her.
"A-another me?!" asked Tsubaki as she looked at the white haired girl.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Jin as he looked at both Tsubaki's.
"Guys can we talk about this later...there is a huge army coming this way!" said Guren as he pointed at the huge number of Gens charging their way.
"Oh damn..." said Terumi.
"Everyone get ready for battle! Hold this position until the ships get here!" Said Izanami.
"Roger!" all the soldiers said.
"We will fight too!" said Shun and the others.
"Let's do this" yelled Azure.
-"Endless Requiem Of Darkness", the portal once more opened and the heads devoured the Gens one by one.
"Oh shit that thing looks like the black beast!" said Shun as he looked at the heads.
"Let's do our parts too!" said Akashi.
-"Kasai no tatsumaki(Fire Tornado)" with one swing of her sword Kirino made a spiral which headed straight to a large number of the Gens which we're flying.
-"Puppeteer's Puppets" yelled Shun and suddenly each of the Gens started attacking each other. "Enjoy a taste of your own medicine" said Shun with a smirk.
-"Zero Gun: Fenrir!" yelled Noel and the beasts fell down as they were shot down one by one one.
-"Carnage Scissors!" a group of Gens were sent flying by Ragna. He then moved around cutting them down one by one. Izanami who was now in her Murakumo rose high upon the sky and blades began to rain down.
-"Blades Of The Apocalypse! All of you begone!", the blades rained down one by one and the Gens we're sent to oblivion.
-"Flames Of Hades", Kanade stuck her blade into the ground the orange flames turned black then orange again.
"Send thou's strike towards me" said the Tsubaki from Azure's world as she looked towards Jin.
"Tch alright then don't blame me for what happens, Ice fang!" the Icy slash headed towards her and she put her fan before her.
"The best defense at times is sometimes the best offence, Holy Reflection!" she then rose her fan up in the air and with a mischievous smile she said "Ice Fang!" an attack similar to Jins headed towards the enemy and Jin stood in complete shock.
"I-impossible!" said Jin. "Tch have no time to question what happened", Jin then jumped into the air and yelled "Moonsong!". A giant arrow of ice came down and froze a large number of enemies.
-"Eat this! khaos raundov(Chaos Rounds)" yelled Sora. She swung her cannon and missiles came out from both ends of her cannon. The Gens were suddenly blasted away from the force of her attack. Noel suddenly got near her and they got back to back.
"I will lend you a hand" said Noel.
"Thank you" said Sora.
"Tsubaki help me block the doorway" yelled Makoto.
"Sure, we can't let anyone one of them get through" said Tsubaki. "Requiem Maledictis!" the blades flew towards the Gens which stood before them and sent them into oblivion.
"Dammit there is no end to them!" said Terumi as he tried fighting off the enemy using a sword he had picked up from a fallen soldier. Suddenly a Gen jumped behind him but before he even had a chance to attack Terumi, he was was blown away. "Oh shit... I almost died". Azure then narrowed his eyes and let out the most rudest thing he could think of because of the way Terumi had thanked him.
"You're welcome mother fucker!", Azure then suddenly kicked him launching him towards the wall.
"What's the big idea?!" asked an enraged Terumi.
"Shut up and start fighting", Azure then ran to support the others.
"The ships!" yelled Akashi as he saw the ships approaching.
"Finally!" yelled Bang as he stood back to back with the figure who held the giant shuriken,
"Good to see you suckers are still alive" said Kokonoe as the ships came in for docking.
"Nice of you to finally show up" said Azure as he blasted the opponent who was about to attack him.
"Come on, civilians first!" yelled Kokonoe and a bunch of soldiers poured out of the ships as the doors opened. One by one the civilians rushed towards the ship and the others protected them as they rushed towards the ship doors.
"Bullet cover me!" said Kagura as he raised his sword.
"Got it!" said Bullet as she blew her opponent away,
"Here goes! Black Dragon's Sky-Rending Blade!", Kagura descended his blade and sent the large number of enemies who stood before him into oblivion.
"Ok now you watch my back" said Bullet.
"Got it babe"
"Don't call me that!" said Bullet with a slight blush.
"Ok" said Kagura as his blade slashed an opponent in half.
-"Serpentine Assault!", the cheer force of her attack was enough to push her opponent's back allowing the civilians to advance faster. Suddenly just as an opponent was about to fire at Bullet two giant shuriken coming from both sides rips him in half.
-"Daburufangu(Double fang)", the figure moving at lightning speed picks up the giant shuriken and looks back at bullet. His scarf blowing in the wind.
"T-thank you" said Bullet embarrassed about leaving herself open.
"It's alright..." said the figure as he ran to take on his next opponent, leaving Bullet looking at his back.
"Who was that?" asked Kagura.
"I don't know, but I owe him my life"
"Shit! There is no end to them" said Ragna as he kicked an opponent away.
-"Azure's Rage!" said Azure as he swung his sword. He was now in his Susanoo and next to him stood Hakumen.
"Agreed" said Hakumen as he countered an enemy.
"Well at least this can't get any worse" said Azure, suddenly a huge explosion was heard. It was coming from a ship that had gotten badly damaged. Above the ship stood a huge black creature, it's appearance resembled that of a B-Gen. "Never mind...I take that back!".
"Damn that monster damaged one of the ships!" yelled Kokonoe with a nervous look.
"He's mine" said Karin as she removed her glasses.
"Sis that's crazy!" yelled Shun.
"I will help" said Azure as he got side by side with her.
"I will lend a hand" said Hakumen.
"Working with one of the Six Heroes and the world renowned criminal Ragna the BloodEdge? What luck" said Karin with a grin.
"Guess it's time for a combination attack" said Azure, his mask covering his face.
"Combination attack? Is this some that some kind of joke?" asked Hakumen in a serious tone.
"No you idiot, Kokonoe and Konoe didn't go through all that trouble to invent the Ars link only to power us up" said Azure as he let out a sigh. He then looked at Karin and said "Come on repeat after me".
"Connecting Ars Link...Accept!" the three said in unison.
"W-what is this?! I feel power overflowing throughout me!" said Karin at the feeling of overwhelming power flowing throughout her body
"This is the Ars Link, now come on focus. See what happens when we combine our attacks together" said Azure.
"Got it" said Hakumen as he raised his blade. Karin closed her eyes and she summoned the 'ZähneschwarzSchlange'. Suddenly the monsters fired a beam out of it's mouth only to be blocked by Tsukuyomi.
-"Holy Reflection" said Tsukuyomi as she put her fan in front of her. "I require some assistance" she said as she looked at the others who stood fighting the other enemies.
"Got it" said Ragna. The others all nodded, then they raced towards Azure, Hakumen, and Karin and they surrounded them.
"Let's hold them off until they finish" said Kagura.
"Damn they plan on leaving me fighting alone" said Terumi as he tried to beat the few remaining enemies who tried to attack the ship.
"Terumi!" yelled Kokonoe as she charged towards him.
"W-wait don't attack me!" said Terumi as he dropped the sword.
"You son of a bitch, I finally got you now!" said Kokonoe with a grin.
"And I'm Fucked" said Terumi as he started sweating bullets. Suddenly behind Kokonoe came a C-Gen on a Shebalves. "Imma regret doing this!", Terumi then charges towards the Gen and quickly slashes at it. He does a flip and stands again.
"Wha-what?!" said Kokonoe in absolute disbelief. "What are you playing at you asshole?! Why did you save me?!"
"Because I owe that damn asshole Azure my life, and I am not willing to take shit from him if I allow you to die"
"T-thank you I guess..." said Kokonoe as she looked down. "I can't believe I just thanked the enemy...the one who took everything from me..."
"Huh? What is that light?" asked Terumi as he looked towards the location for the others.
"Running through the snow field it howls under the forgotten moon", an intense aura surrounds Hakumen and his crest appears in front of him. He monsters suddenly struck the crest only to be blocked and lose all mobility. Hakumen then moved at extreme speed and cut both of the beats legs. Suddenly Karin jumps on it's hand and starts running towards it's upper body.
"It's fangs red with blood, It's skin that of the serpent" Karin then suddenly jumped into the air and slashed she slashed both it's arm. The beast let out a yelp of pain as it's arm fell down. A dark aura surrounded Azure and the arm of his Susanoo turned into the claws.
"I am the beast, I shall shred my enemies into oblivion and dye myself in their blood. I shall feed on their life and become the one who sends this world into destruction!" said Azure with a wicked grin covered by his mask.
-"Infernal Judgement: Last Stance Of the Forbidden Beast!", as if in a different world the moon suddenly turned red. Karin the rose into the air and unleashed a red slash wave from her blades. Hakumen Unleashed a barrage of slashes at the beasts body. Azure as if surrounded by a cloak of absolute darkness, rose into the air. His attacks that followed was so bloody that those who witnessed the attack had one thought.
"I do not want to ever piss those three off", Azure, Hakumen, and Karin stood back to back. After the attacks that followed the fighting lasted for hours and hours. But after much bloodshed the citizens were finally into the ships.
"Are we done yet..." asked Ragna as he layed on the floor.
"I sure hope so" said Noel as she sat next to him. Soon Nu came along and joined them. Everyone had fought until their limit. Others laid on the floor unconscious while many leaned against something or someone, for their bodies could not longer stand.
"Job well done" said Rachel as she got down next to Azure who laid on the floor.
"W-where have you been this whole time...?" asked Azure as he tried to catch his breath.
"Resting of course. I had not intention of getting myself dirtied by such a fight"
"Why you little!...Ah never mind...I am too tired to even care" said Azure as he let out a sigh. "So tired I'm seeing Kokonoe and Terumi sitting back to back"
"Oh my, I must say. You are not imagining things" said Rachel as she looked at the two who were exhausted sitting back to back.
"How much time do we have left" asked Terumi panting heavily. Not being able to use Ouroboros was becoming quite a burden when he fought.
"Maybe that huge clock that says 3 minutes can tell us..." said Shun as he looked at the huge clock which had appeared above the city. Azure's eyes then widen and he suddenly gets up in a hurry.
"Everyone Run to the ship! Take the wounded and go!" said Azure as he looked towards the soldiers. The soldiers started panicking and they picked up anyone they could and ran to the second ship. Suddenly a voice resounded throughout the city and who it was was not quite surprising.
"Well done Azure" said Kira as he appeared on a screen besides the watch. "To think all my men would be defeated" he said with a grin.
"Shut up asshole...we're coming for you next"
"Oh I look forward to it, but first you must make it out of this city and you might wanna hurry too. We kind of overloaded the Highlander with too much seithr it's blast range will increase quite a bit" he said as wicked smile formed on his face. His gaze then turned to the Tsubaki of Azure's world who was under the control of Tsukuyomi. "Hmmm it's good to see you again Tsukuyomi".
"You...just what exactly are you?" asked Tsukuyomi as she looked towards the screen.
"It's too early for you to know, but this was such a fun game to watch. The souls I managed to collect will come in handy in the near future. Well catch you guys later, try not to be blown to bits", Kira said as he vanished from the screen. Suddenly the countdown started decreasing at an amazing speed.
"Everyone run!" yelled Azure. Terumi picked up Kokonoe who could no longer stand. Although he didn't seem quite pleased he still did it. Everyone else helped one another and they all raced to the ships. Kokonoe undocked the ship and they all headed out. When they were a good distance away from the city they saw Torifune being turned to dust.
"How...how could he?!" yelled Celica.
"He's a monster...one that surpasses our imagination" said Relius as he stared at the crater that was once Torifune.
"This...this is the reason we need to end him..." said Azure as he clenched his fist. He then turned around to look at Tsukuyomi who was being questioned. "You...who and what exactly are you?" asked Azure.
"My name is Tsukuyomi the goddess of the moon...I am using this girl as my vessel. But it seems she desires to talk to you", she closed her eyes and when she opened them her hair had turned back to that of the normal Tsubaki and she raced towards Azure and hugged him.
"Ragna!" she said as tears came out of her eyes.
"Tsubaki" said Azure as he hugged her. "I am glad to see you're alive..." he said as he wrapped his arms around her. The others stared at the sight of the heart warming reunion. Tsubaki then suddenly pulled away and looked at him.
"You've changed a lot" she said as she wiped her tears then smiled at him.
"You really must've not taken a look in the mirror lately" Azure said teasing her.
"I will talk to you after this, Tsukuyomi wishes to talk to you" she said as she closed her eyes.
"But before we begin...tis time you awaken is it not sister?" asked Tsukuyomi as she gently smacked Kanade's head. Suddenly Kanade's hair turned orange as if on fire and her eyes turned orange as well.
"Such a rude awakening sister" said Kanade in a voice which seemed more moderate and extremely beautiful.
"Wh-what?!" the others asked in confusion.
"Nice to make your acquaintance" Kanade said smiling. "My name is Amaterasu...goddess of the sun".
The others stood in complete shock of what was happening. Even Azure hadn't felt a thing while Kanade was with him. The appearance of the two goddess meant that someone big was about to take place. With the appearance of the two new goddess, five gods now are now present in this world. Now the question is who resides within Azure and Kira. Things have taken an unforeseen turn now let's see where this shall lead our heroes.
AN: There goes the eleventh chapter, I hope you all enjoyed it. I will give a full explanation of Tsukuyomi who is also Tsubaki and Kanade who contains Amaterasu new found powers next chapter. See you next time! :)
