SZ: And we return to the climax of the first arc in Blazbuild!
Z0: Time to get to the action!
SZ: We own nothing aside from original content! Z0! Start us off!
Z0: YEAH! *blasts the screen*
Terumi: Well hello there, worms. Where we last left off, after they managed to get away from Stalk, those little shitstains-Raggy, Buildboy and Banjou-decided to raid NOL HQ here in order t-*gets punted out* OW!
Sento: Oi oi! This is my story, so I'll tell the recap on how it exactly happened!
Makoto: Since when could you do that?
Sento: I am the Hero of the story...I could also recast you.
Makoto: Shutting up.
Sento: Good...Now get back to resting. We even got Banjou to wear the men's nurse uniform for you~
Ryuga: URUSEI!
Ragna: Shit's bad! Noel's turned against us! Terumi is kicking our ass and Stalk is doing some creepy shit!
Stalk: Yes...yes I am!
Ragna: When did you get so close to me!?
Stalk: Can I not bring entertainment to this segment? Oh, and cue the battle!
Sento:...I am going to hurt you so bad later…all of you...
"So this...this is Noel's true power...her true self…" Build whispered as he and Ragna looked up at Mu as she floated down near Terumi, "A Murakumo Unit…"
"Eer! Wrongo, bunny-tank! She's Kusanagi - the sword that'll destroy the gods and the Master Unit!" Terumi cackled, "I'm gonna run this sword right through its throat!"
"Noel...Oi! Noel, is that you?! Answer me!" Ragna shouted before grunting when Ourouburous bit into him.
"Oh shut up already, you filthy mutt! That's enough barking out of you!" Terumi barked.
"You son of a bitch…!"
"Aw...what's wrong?" Terumi pouted at Ragna before smirking, "C'mon...hate me. Hate me some more! Hate me lots lots more, you adorable little puppy of a man, you!"
"I really am getting sick of your shit…" Ragna growled as he looked at Build, who's optics where flashing.
"No...No...Failed...Failure...Not good...Maybe...Nope…." he rambled.
"What...what are you doing?" Ragna asked.
"Going insane?" Terumi smirked.
"Shhh…" Build hushed, "Do you hear that?"
"What?" Terumi blinked.
"The sound of me not giving a fuck," he said simply, making everyone-minus Mu-go silent.
"Oh crap. He cursed…" Ragna whispered with his eyes slowly widening.
"...And I should care why?" Terumi raised a brow, "I'm bored here...Besides, I got what I wanted…" he leaned a shoulder on Mu, "Isn't that right, my good little sword?"
"Sento?" Ragna asked as his eyes kept flashing.
"I'm working on it. Normally this takes me hours to do...but I can skip showing my math for once." Build explained, "I just have to account for a few more factors…" he then turned to Ragna, "Also...I need you to do one thing."
"And that is?"
"Stop holding back." he explained simply.
"Eh?"
"You're not even fully utilize the Azure Grimoire...why are you holding back?"
"...Because…"
"Oh oh. Let me…" Terumi spoke with a smirk, "See...me and Mu bonded, in a sense. Our souls became as one once she was smelted. If you or Raggy ends up killing me, Build…" he pointed a finger at Mu, "You kill her in turn."
"Grr…!" Ragna growled at that.
"Besides, like I'd want to see this one go to waste. I've earned a treat and wanted to spoil myself rotten…" Terumi's smirk grew, "Hell, I even went with the 'Ragna's little sister' model to boot, too."
"?! You…" Ragna growled as he charged, "I'm gonna rip your Goddamn head off!-!-!"
Ragna blinked as he was stopped by Build, "Ragna...listen to me for once. I have a winning formula already." he began, "But for it to work I need you to stop holding back, if you can't beat Terumi here and now...Noel is gone. Regardless of who she looks like...regardless of what she truly is, the one thing we all want right now is to take her home with us. For once, trust me when I say 'I know what to do', but first...I need you to kick his ass as hard as you can...with all the hate you have for him, make every violent promise you've made to him come true. Only then...only then can I hope to save one of the few people in the world I see as family. So please...help me?"
"...Okay...for once…" Ragna began as a dark-red and black aura began to engulf him, "I'll stop holding back...But I just have one thing to say, Sento…"
"And what's that?"
"If I lose control…" Ragna began as the arm that housed the Azure Grimoire started to become fully black and demonic, a red demonic eye forming on the back of his clawed hand as red and black veins began to form around his red eye, "Take Noel, Ryuga, and everyone else...and get out of the city."
"Hmm...given the mood, I'm inclined to promise." Build nodded, "But given the man I am...after I get them out...I'll come back to save you as well...my violent friend."
"...If you can," Ragna whispered before charging at Terumi once more.
"Oh ho! Full of gas once more, eh?!" Terumi grinned madly as his venom green aura returned, "Okay! You want to get nuts, Raggy?! Let's get nuts! Oh, and Mu?" he quickly leaned towards Mu's earpiece as he dodged a slash from Ragna, quietly whispering something to her.
"...Acknowledged," Mu replied as she vanished.
"There!" Build grunted as he lifted his tank leg in time to block a slash from a sword, "From Guns to swords...quite a diverse theming...Noel-chan! But even with your speed, my Rabbit ears can hear your slicing the wind from miles away and I can smell the metal!"
"Sento! Any day now!"
"I'm waiting...for all the pieces to come together!" he grunted, blocking another swing with his DrillBreaker.
"Well you b-ugh!" Ragna grunted when he was kicked back by Terumi.
"Seriously, this is just too fun!" Terumi cackled.
"Come on…" Ragna growled as he punched Terumi.
"Gah!" Cross-Z cried, tossed through several walls as he tumbled along the ground, "Anyone get the number of that bitch that ran me over?"
"Grr…" Beta growled as she approached him, her claws covered in black and crimson flames as she looked down at him with slit dragonic eyes, "Do you yield…?"
"Ah...su ...s-su…." he grunted, coughing a few times and earning her attention, "Suck a dick…" he grunted. He then cried as he was tossed into another wall, "Okay...poor choice of words…"
Beta spread her claws before slashing them in a cross pattern, creating an X-shaped cutting wave of black and crimson flames. They headed towards Cross-Z, who quickly rolled out of the way as he got up.
"You know...I liked you better when you were chatty," Cross-Z grunted, about to pull his sword out before Beta's tail grabbed it and tossed it aside, "Ahh bitch!" he cried as he was punched through another wall, "Okay...that's like what...two...maybe three ribs just done…"
"Mu will complete her mission…" Beta spoke as she approached him once more, "Then once the false gods are done...this world can know the truth it refuses to see."
"What ...truth?" Cross-Z grunted as he got up.
"The truth of this world...as much as I despise him, the snake Terumi knows what is best…" Beta explained, raising a claw over one of her eyes, "Once the Master Unit is destroyed...I can be with Onii-sama once more...and the truth will be revealed to the world...the truth known as despair."
"D-despair? ...Fuzakeruna…" he growled, gripping the ground, "You assholes took Noel...made her suffer just for your own kicks...over some bullshit like that?" he asked, growling even more as his optics began glowing, "Noel is one of the best people I've ever known! If Kasumi was here, she'd love her like a sister...iie. She is like our sister!" he growled as the wing-like armor on his torso ejected steam, "Ah…." he growled as the steam turned to flames, "AH!" he roared as azure flames ignited across his body before growing outward like wings, "AH!" he grunted, standing up as his eyes and helm crest flashed, "I'm not gonna let you get away with hurting anyone ever again! Not while I can fight!" he shouted before he began cranking the lever on his belt.
=DRAGONIC FINISH!=
"...fine," Beta frowned, a symbol of a dragon covered in black flames appearing behind her as her claws changed into split halves of a dragon head, "Then suffer for your false truth…" she brought her hands together, completing the 'dragon head' as the 'mouth' began to create a ball of crimson and pitch black flames, "Darkness...Chaos Inferno…" she whispered as she unleashed a massive beam-like blast of flames at Cross-Z.
"HA!" Cross-Z roared as his flames formed into a giant dragon of blue fire, it roared before charging...and swallowing the beam making Beta pause for a moment in surprise, "AH!" he roared as his flames grew larger, "I'm going to be the hero this time...and Save Noel!" he roared rushing into his dragon as it exploded leaving him in an aura of fire that turned into wings, he dashed and tackled into Beta before jumping up and crashing her through the ceiling several times, "I'm tired of the people I care about getting hurt...I'm tired of not being able to do a fucking thing about it! And I'm really tired of your god damn bosses and these god damn stupid power ups everyone has! My power is violence and stupidity!"
"Di-Did you just call yourself stupid?" she grunted as they stopped at a harder than normal floor.
"WHO THE HELL YOU CALLING STUPID!?" he asked as the flames exploded sending them bursting through the floors above them even faster, "If anything, this whole 'despair being the truth' is stupid! So…" he stopped and turned back around, going into a spiral of azure flames as he spun, "I will make sure to beat that stupidity out of you!"
"Y...you're insane!" Beta exclaimed, her armor starting to crack as they were getting closer and closer to the top, 'Is he performing an Astral Heat?!'
"No...I am a hero...a Kamen Rider!" Cross-Z roared, "Azure Dragon's...SPIRAL FANG!" he roared as he and Beta came crashing through the roof in a tornado of azure flames. After a moment, Cross-Z hopped out of the tornado, landing on his feet as he stood in a crouching position as the tornado began to form into the shape of a dragon's head in the air as it chomped down, "Yosha!"
*BOOM!*
"Da hell is that!?" Ragna gawked as the ground began shaking.
"Most likely...Ryuga!" Build grunted, about to pull out a pair of Full Bottles before they were blasted out of his hands, "Gah! And she can summon bits to attack and defend with…"
"Well of course. The ultimate sword needs the ultimate defense to go with it," Terumi smirked, sending out his chains once more as the snakeheads bit into Ragna's shoulder before lifting him up and slammed him into the ground, "Oh~! That's gotta smart! Eh, Raggy?!"
"I wouldn't stand there…" Build spoke as Ragna jumped away.
"What the...oh my god it's getting toasty...really...oh for the love of…" Terumi cursed as the ground exploded under him, "Fucking bullshit nerd! How could he even know that!?"
"Ragna probability." Build replied simply.
"Of all times for Stalk to be absent…" Terumi growled as he got up, "Oi, Kusanagi! Get over here!"
"Affirmative," Mu spoke as she appeared next to Terumi.
"I don't want you wasting any of your energy on these two, so why don't you go over to the Cauldron…" Terumi paused before grinning in an insane manner, "...and kill the shit out of Amaterasu?!"
"...Acknowledged," Mu nodded as she vanished once more.
"Wait, Noel! Don't G-" Ragna began before he was slashed across the stomach, causing some blood to spill, "Gah!"
"Woah there, Rags old boy. You're being a little pushy," Terumi huffed, "Also she's got a name, you know! Kusanagi! Not Noel...Noel is just a puppet, much like you Rags."
"Bastard…" Ragna growled, holding his bleeding stomach.
"Well..at least that self-righteous bitch is off napping in the dark somewhere…" Terumi waved off, causing Ragna to tense.
"What...what did you do to Rachel?!" Ragna demanded before one of Terumi's 'snakes' slashed him once more, "Gah!"
"Exactly what it means!" Terumi blinked, turning just as another burst of heat made him turn to see Cross-Z jumping out.
"Eh? Banjou Ryu…" Terumi began before he jumped back from a strike fmo Cross-Z, "Woah now! Talk about a hot one…"
"Shut it, you snake bastard!" Cross-Z snapped as he pointed at him, "Now hand over Noel!"
"...for the last time she's called Kusanagi!" Terumi argued, "God do you people not pay attention?!...Oh wait. You were in the basement...talk about poor timing."
"Eh?" he turned around to notice Mu floating there, "GAH! Noel put some clothes on! There are men...and whatever snake douche is, present!"
"What the...oi! Did you not hear my orders?!" Terumi snapped at Mu, "Head to down th…"
"Threat level 20…" Mu replied, gazing a bit at Cross-Z.
"Actually I'm 24…" Cross-Z corrected.
"Not your age, Ryuga…" Ragna groaned.
"She was referring to how dangerous you were, idiot…" Build deadpanned.
"Oh...wait. OI!"
"Oh thank god we can…"
"Everyone knows 10 is better than 20 in a countdown!" Cross-Z declared, pointing at himself.
"Twenty? ...Huh. Stalk is really missing out if…" Terumi began before something grabbed his leg.
"Ah...T...teru...mi…." Terumi looked down to see a heavily burnt and injured Karai looking up at him, "You..bastard…"
"Huh...you survived that huh?" Terumi noted as he knelt down, "Honestly surprised...you look like shit."
"Because you…" Karai began before Terumi kicked her in the face, "Gah!"
"Did I say you could talk, you stupid doll?" terumi frowned as he kicked her in the stomach, causing the ravenette to cough up blood, "No...you and Alpha had one job to do...and look what happened. She went MIA and you...well you lost...badly."
"Oi," Cross-Z stopped his next kick.
"Oh what-OOF!" he cried as Cross-Z slammed his fist into his stomach and began lifting him up, "The….the fuck…?!"
"The hell…" Ragna spoke.
"This is part of the plan…" Build explained.
"What is?"
"Well...you know that old anime Dragon Ball Z...or Super or whatever?" he asked.
"Yeah…?"
"Well...Ryuga's Hazard Level rises rapidly when he fights...but more so when he's in an unwinnable scenario or in a state of extreme emotion," Build explained.
"Son of a dragon whore…" Ragna realized his point.
"...th...the fuck?" Karai blinked a bit at what just happened.
"Hey...do you...ack. Mind? I'm trying to…" Terumi began.
"The fuck is wrong with you?!" Cross-Z snapped.
"Wha...AH!" he cried as Cross-Z's fist buried itself deeper into him.
"You treat my friends like freakin toys...you kick people on your own side...and to top it off you've done something to Noel…" he listed, "I've had it with you and your stupid friends hurting people...I don't care if this crazy bitch is my enemy...this is what Sento would do...its what a Kamen Rider would do!"
"Ah...okay...really starting to hurt…" Terumi grunted, "S-stop fisting me!"
"Okay." Cross-Z replied with a dangerous tone.
"N-No wait...AH! Not all at once!" he cried in pain before he was kicked across the face sending him flying back.
Terumi's eyes opened as Cross-Z ran alongside him while flying through the air. Cross-Z roared unleashing a barrage of punches to Terumi sending him flying back farther and farther. Cross-Z grabbed his leg, stopping him before slamming Terumi into the ground...and then dragging him through it. He swung and tossed him up into the air before jumping and slamming his knee into his face sending him higher up into the air.
"Holy fuck…" Ragna whispered with wide eyes.
"Yeah...I kinda...knew this would happen given he kicked his ass once before…" Build spoke, "So...another I guess Rage boost...and now he's...well as you and I believe Karai would say…"
"Gah fuck!" Terumi screamed as he slammed into the ground, his clothes a bit tattered with some blood dripping from his head, "Okay...this shit is starting to get really old!"
"Oh cry me a river!" Cross-Z shouted as he landed across from him.
"Seriously...what...the...fuck...ARE YOU!?"
"My name is Banjou Ryuga! Kamen Rider Cross-Z! And you will fear! My! Fire! Fist!" he snapped as he dashed and punched Terumi, making him cough in pain as blood flew from the strike.
"...Okay...enough of this shit…" Terumi growled, holding his stomach as he glared up, "Time to stop holding back…"
"Holding back? As i-" Cross-Z began before the aura Around terumi spread out, foring into a venom green ring, "Gh?!"
"Wh...what…?" Build spoke, almost dropping to a knee as Ragna struggled to stay up, "What is this...it's like..he's draining my energy…"
"Duh…" Terumi smirked as he stood fully up, his wounds starting to disappear, "This is my true power...the power of my Azure Grimoire. See the moment I have this ring out...anyone that gets close to me will have their energy drained…" he motioned to his body as his wounds were almost gone, "While I get healed up! Pretty useful, huh?!"
"So what…" Cross-Z grunted as he was covered in flames again, "I'll just kick your ass faster than you can heal...if no one else can do it...I will! I'll kick your ass as payback for everyone you've hurt! That's the kind of hero I am...right here...right now...I'm Beat-The-Snake-Jackass-up-Man!" he taunted, charging and punching him, making him skid back.
"Heh..funny..but listen, closely Banjou...because you missed out on this when I told Build boy here…" Terumi smirked as he stood back up, feeling as if nothing happened, "If you kill me or severely harm me in anyway...you'll just end up hurting Kusanagi..or Noel if you wanna call that puppet by that name."
"Oh yeah...well you know what I have to say to that?" Cross-Z replied.
"What?"
"I'm not the smart one so I'll let Sento figure that out!" he replied punching Terumi, "So I'm just gonna kick your ass while Sento pulls some math bullshit out his ass and saves her!"
"Gh...don't you get it?"
"Not at all!" Cross-Z replied, punching him again, "I'm just muscle and brawn...all I know how to do is kick ass! I don't build shit or figure out how to save someone from something I don't understand...I just kick the bad guys ass and feel damn good about doing it! So keep all your bullshit and shove it! Cause I don't care!""
"...know what? Fine...Fight me. But…" Terumi paused as Cross-Z next punch was blocked by one of Nu's diamond-shaped bits, "...can you protect yourself from her?"
"Hmm?" Cross-Z blinked behind his helmet before a slash from Mu sent him skidding back.
"Objective: terminate immediate threats…" Mu whispered, lowering her leg as her bits began to fire lasers at Cross-Z.
"...That I didn't take into account…" Build whispered, holding his chin in thought, "Damn it..it's like he has a contingency plan for everything…"
"Don't you!?" Ragna snapped.
"Yes normally...but now isn't the time for multiple plans. It's time for one plan that has to work at all costs." he explained, "I believe in sports terminology its called the Hail Mary."
"Well think of something fast! Because…!" Ragna began before Terumi appeared before him and kicked him back, "Gah!"
"Pay attention, boys!" Terumi grinned as he kicked at Build, who barely blocked his attack, "Not very wise to stand around and do nothing ya know!"
'Just hope Kajun can put the finishing touches in time…' Build thought, quickly pulling his weapon out as he blocked Terumi's chains.
"What is that noise going on?" one of the Prime ministers asked as they stay in a large room, sitting around a circular table.
"Nothing of importance," Gentoku answered, "Merely a test for a new reactor. It's still in the very early stages...rather...explosive."
"Explosive? It sounds like a war up there!" another of the Prime Ministers exclaimed.
"Oh don't worry...you are all fully safe." Gentoku smiled, "Sadly I can do nothing of the noise."
"He is correct on that," Utsumi added, adjusting his glasses a little, "But I assure you that things are being taken care of."
"...If you're sure about that…" one of the Prime ministers frowned, "Last thing we need is that ruffian Ragna the Bloodedge storming in here."
"Which leads to one of our current subjects...what to do about him and the Kamen Riders," another of the Prime ministers added.
"You can't deny they...yes-now they-as a second...much...dumber one has appeared."
"Unlike the first we could never track...this one is...easier to account for."
"He posed for this one," Utsumi muttered, looking at a picture.
"Regardless, they are a threat to the NOL and the order we've all worked so hard to establish!" one of the Prime ministers snapped, "None of our NOL soldiers or Guardian Robots could handle them...even the Hero of Ikaruga, Jin Kisaragi has turned traitor!"
"And to add things off, there is talk of Sector Seven conspiring against the NOL," the second of the Prime Ministers added, "I knew it was a bad idea to put Kokonoe in charge as head scientist."
"Please be silent!" Gentoku's father spoke making them go silent, "We are working to fix things, we have so many issues all over the world. We can't begin fighting within our own ranks."
"Then how do you propose we fix this?!"
"I…"
"Allow me to respond to that…" the Imperator finally spoke, earning everyone's attention as they gazed at the shadowed figure, "It is true...the Kamen Riders and Ragna the Bloodedge are menaces to the world order...and Lokonoe has been a thorn to us for some time now...which is why I have made talks with the council of Sector Seven. We will appoint a new head scientist for Sector Seven..and we will send out someone after the traitors, the Kamen Riders, and Bloodedge."
"Who? Is it the Wings of Justice?"
"No. I cannot afford to let them handle this…" the Imperator replied, "No...I speak of Azrael."
"?!" Gentoku's eyes widened in horror at that, "...N...nande…?"
"That...that is an option…?" Utsumi gawked, dropping his clipboard, 'Normally I don't say these types of things...but since it's in my mind...MOTHER FU-'
"AH!" Cross-Z cried, dodging a blast aimed too low for his liking, "Are you trying to neuter me, N-AHH!" he yelped as he dodged more laser blast, "Starting to hate those bits!"
"Try hitting them a-Gah!" Ragna grunted as he was sent skidding back from a kick from Terumi, his arm and eye changing back to normal, "Damn it...not now…!"
"Aw what's wrong, Rags? Run out of juice?" Terumi asked with a cruel grin, "Too bad so sad~ Me...I'm feeling fresh and ready to kick ass!" he cackled before blocking a strike from Build, "And try as many forms as you like Build-boy! It won't matter!"
"You really like to hear yourself talk…" Build muttered before grunting from a slash from Terumi's daggers, some sparks coming off his armor for a moment, "I guess you're not looking for critique…"
"Says the egomaniac looking for his lost past," Terumi countered, making Build tense, "Oh that's right...you still don't know anything about your past. Only people that may know of it is Relius and Stalk, and I'm sure neither are willing to tell you who you formerly were..."
"Oi, Sento! Don't him get t-!" Cross-Z began before barely blocking a slash from Mu, "Gh!"
"I bet it just bugs you doesn't it, nerd boy...who you used to be."
"Heh...it did," Build replied while standing up, "But...I kinda figured it out."
"What?" Terumi blinked.
"Well it wasn't hard. Context clues and an endless drive for the truth. Eventually, things just fell into place. I got a lot of things to clean up that are my fault."
"Bullshit!" Terumi barked.
"Yeah...I use to be a real messed up dude. Probably a lot of issues I need to deal with for him." Build continued as he pointed at him, "And one major issue I have right now...is not making sure a psychopath like you continues to roam around doing as he pleases."
"Pfft! Like I haven't been called that before," Terumi huffed.
"I'm not out to insult you better then Ragna. Not like it'd be hard. But I just want you to look at one fact, a fact even you should know of," Build began, "When the Villain fights the hero...and the stakes have never been higher...who is the one that Always wins those battles?"
"...You know? I am getting REALLY tired of your shit, Build…" Terumi frowned before his chains 'hissed' and rocketed towards Build, taking the form of demonic snake heads with venom green energy around them, "So do me a favor and just die!"
"Hmph. Like th-" Build began before the 'snakes' curved around him, making him tense in surprise as he turned and saw them head towards Ragna, "?!"
"Psyche!" Terumi laughed, "Now go ahead and die, Ragna the Bloodegde!"
"Gh?!" Rgna tensed, about to block the 'snakes' before…
*STAB!*
"Rag ...na…."
"?!" Ragna's eyes widened in shock..and disbelief as he saw Lambda standing before him, blood spurting from her back after Ourouburos impaled her, "N...Nu?!"
"L-La-chan!?" Cross-Z exclaimed, jumping back form a laser from Mu.
"Hm?" Terumi blinked surprised by that, "...tch! Stupid puppet...why don't jsut die?!" he snapped as his snake chains impaled her once more, causing more blood to spill as her visor began to crack.
"OI! Stop that!" Cross-Z snapped while Build just stood there, completely in silence.
"Why?! I'm just taking out the trash!" Terumi laughed as he impaled Lambda once more, causing her visor to break.
"Ragna...ah….' Lambda whispered, her voice sounding a bit more happy and emotional as blood dripped from her lip, "Ah...Nu finally got to see you again…it's been a long time..." she whispered as she stumbled over, "for so long...Nu was all by herself...but in the Boundary, I kept..dreaming about you…That's why...Nu wasn't lonely..."
"...I'm so sorry, Nu…" Ragna whispered, holding onto her close as she began to fade.
"Ah...Nu has...one last gift...one from person...who repaired this body…" Lambda...no Nu whispered as she weakly handed him a odd-looking object resembling a soda-can colored in grey, red, blue, and white.
"...You came all this way...and in your condition…" Ragna whispered, noticing some of the cracks and dents in Lambda/Nu's armor just as her legs and lower half faded away.
"Hai...because Nu...wanted to see you..one last time…" Nu whispered as she as her arms and body went next, "Dragon...Tankrabbit...thank you...for taking care of Ragna for Nu…"
"...Oi…" Cross-Z spoke, gripping his fists.
"Nu will...always be with Ragna…" Nu whispered as she completely faded away, "Forever…"
"...gu...uhh…." Ragna began to tremble, his free hand gripping as tears began to pour from his eyes, "This...this is bullshit...why the hell did you die for me?!"
=Ugh finally! Got a response i...huh? What is this?= Kokonoe blinked as a holographic image of her appeared before Ragna =Eh? Ragna the Bloodedge?=
"Wh...Kokonoe? The hell are you doing in my head?!" Ragna demanded, tears of grief still rolling down his cheeks.
=No..no this should be impossible!...Wait. Did you..absorb Lambda's Idea Engine?= kokonoe asked before looking down at his hand =?! The Sparking Full Bottle...so Kajun managed to finish it in time…=
"...Idea Engine?" Ragna repeated before the image of Kokonoe vanish, "H-hey! Kokonoe!"
"Uh hey guys? It's really kind of rude when you just forget about me like that," Terumi spoke with a frown, "I mean, I know you've got your own stuff going on, and I'll be honest..that little soap opera was a complete snore fest, especially for that failure of a puppet."
"Gh…" Ragna growled looking at the bottle, "Sento!" he snapped tossing it at Build, who simply raised his hand and caught it.
"Sa...the Winning Formula has the last piece." Build spoke, simply as he shook the bottle like the can of soda it resembled.
"...Okay. I don't know what you're doing, but this is starting to bore me further...if that was possible," Terumi muttered, "Oi, Kusanagi. Go back to what you were doing and destroy the Master unit."
"...Affirmative," Mu replied as she flew towards the hole Cross-Z made earlier.
"Oi! Sento sh-" Cross-Z began.
"Go after her…" Build spoke, a calm tone in his voice as he glared at Terumi through his lens, "Me and Ragna will handle things here..."
"...But…okay...just don't die," was all Cross-Z said, running towards the hole and jumping down it.
"..well that was stupid of h-" Terumi began before tensing, "?! Wh...what is this feeling?"
"Terumi…Terumi…!" Ragna snarled, trembling in pure anger as he pointed at him, "I will never forgive you!"
"You won't forgive me? HA! Like a give a damn!" Terumi laughed.
"True." Build spoke, pulling on the tab as a can popping open sound was heard, two connecters like those of Full bottles sliding out as he did so, "Normally I wouldn't either, but like Relius..you did something barely anyone else has done…"
"And that is?"
"You pissed me off," Build replied, growling a bit as he took out his two FullBottles and put the can into his Driver.
=RABBIT TANK SPARKING!=
With that Build's armor slid off as the two frames that held it changed to resemble two halves of his gear like symbol. Large bottles producing bubbly liquid energy fed into the armor of Rabbit Tank changing them. Blades spikes forming along the arms and legs. Sharp jagged white armor patterns on the body, like thunderbolts, thunderbolt shaped shoulder pads, as white bubbles formed on some spots. White jagged cuffs formed on the wrists and ankles as the helmet now had a white thunder strike running across it, the two eyepieces seemeing energized as the Tank was now shooting and the rabbit's 'fur' was on ends.
"Restriction Code 666 Release…" Ragna growled, the core on the back of his hand opening once more as his aura began to return, taking on a more azure color.
"Oh please...haven't you learned even with th-"
"Engaging the Idea Engine!"
"Say what?" Terumi blinked as red and black began to mix in with the azure colored aura surrounding Ragna.
"Now I'll show you..the true power of the Azure! Blazblue…"
=ARE YOU READY?=
"Build up/ACTIVATE!" Build and Ragna declared.
With that the armor slammed onto Build as red and blue energy exploded off of him like popping bubbles.
=Shuwatto Hajikeru! RabbitTank Sparking! Yea-Yeahhh!=
"Okay so-AH!" Terumi gawked as he was punched by a blur sending him flying back. He then stopped as Build appeared behind and kicked him back over towards Ragna who punched him sending him tumbling along the ground, "The fuck jsut happened?!"
"Let's end this…" Ragna and Build began, the two standing side by side as they glared at Terumi, "You degenerate son of a bitch."
"What the hell…" He gawked before the blur struck him again, "How...how did he get so fast?" he asked as he slammed into...bubbles, "What the-!?" he began before they exploded like bombs knocking him around against his will.
"DEAD SPIKE!" Ragna roared as he summoned the massive demonic-dragon head, which slammed hard into Terumi as he was sent flying.
Terumi blinked in shock seeing Build jump after him, before jumping around the air on invisible footholds. Build's speed continued to grow and grow until he appeared right behind Terumi. Terumi turned his had to gawk at the Hawk Gatlinger in Guild's hand along with his DrillCrusher in Gun mode. Build pulled back as the two unleashed a hailstorm of bullets which pelted and sent him crashing back down. Terumi bounced off the ground as he coughed in pain. He then cried in pain as Ragna and Build rushed past him, slashing him. Build spun around holding the 4Koma Ninpoutou and Kaizoku Hassyar in hand. The two ran and slashed him again before another barrage of blue bubbles exploded and send Terumi around back and forth. He stopped at one end of their battle field only to be punched by Ragna sending him to Build, who slammed the Kaizoku Hassyar into his chest and fired it point blank sending him flying back.
"Gah!" Terumi cried out as he slammed into the ground, leaving a small crater in it, "Gah...waht the hell...how the fuck….what the HELL is going on here?!"
"Erumi…" Ragna growled, gripping his sword.
"...heh...hahahahahahah…."
"Hmm?" Ragna raised a brow.
"Gah...GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!" Terumi cackled insanely as he shot back up, despite his wounds, "Yes...yes! This is what I've been looking for! Ahahahahahahah!" he laughed before coughing up some blood, "Keh...come on, Ragna the Bloodedge...Kamen Rider Build...I haven't had enough yet! Come on! Entertain me!"
"...Tch," Ragna snorted,"That's what you want…"
"Hmm?"
"You're wanting us to kill you, in turn killing Noel...you want us to despise you with a passion," Ragna continued, "That is true..but I figured you out...you feed on hate and anger."
"You act worse and worse, making us feel nothing but rage and anger." Build added, "Your power...somehow it feeds off these negative emotions, turning our weakness into your power. But...after all of this, after all you've done. We're grown tired of this game of anger and attrition. Ragna and I are like night and day...but even now without saying it, we are in the same mindset."
"We're gonna kick your ass...not cause your pissing us off." Ragna spoke.
"We'll defeat you to save Noel!"
"So no one has to die to your hands ever again!"
"We'll stop you because right now, we're the heroes here!" they both roared charging and punching Terumi, making him cough in pain as he was sent flying back.
"Ack!" Terumi coughed, more blood spilling from his mouth as he skidded back, "So what?! You're just gonna knock me out?!"
"To make sure we get Noel back, then yes," Ragna frowned before charging, kneeing him hard in the gut as he was sent flying.
"Lets see how you feel after this one!" Build shouted, jumping high into the air as he began cranking his belt.
=SPARKING FINISH!=
Build kicked his leg out as his math projections took the form of a wormhole chart. Build was covered in liquid energy that bubbled and sparked as he kicked into the Wormhole. Terumi blinked as a barrage of bubbles began striking him like powerful cannon balls. Just as he thought the attack was done, faster than he could even respond to, Build slammed his Rider Kick right into his chest.
"GAH!" Terumi cried out, blood spurting from his mouth as he was sent rocketing back towards Ragna.
"My turn.." Ragna muttered, his arm turning into the demonic one once more as he grabbed Terumi, "Devoured by Darkness!" he roared as tendrils made of dark energy rapidly pierced Terumi.
"AGH!" Terumi screamed in pain as Ragna let him go, letting the tendrils sent him rocketing into the monolith, destroying it in the process as it crumbled into dust and rubble.
"Think that did it?" Build huffed as he landed next to Ragna.
"I'd say so…" Ragna nodded, seeing Terumi's hand poking out of the rubble, lightly twitching a bit.
"I'd say we hit him again but right now...we need to save Noel…" Build spoke, "Then after...you can use that new power to kill him."
"...he's not worth it," Ragna scoffed as he began to walk off.
"You sure?" Build asked as he followed him.
"I am..because that what he would most likely want," Ragna answered, sheathing his sword as the aura dissipated, "And I'm not gonna give him the satisfaction."
"Ah...so you are smarter than you let on." Build chuckled.
"Oi…" Ragna deadpanned in an annoyed tone.
"...holy shit…" Karai whispered in disbelief, looking at the two warriors as they walked away...unaware of Terumi giving a light chuckle underneath the rubble.
"...Release of Gate, confirmed…" Mu stated, standing before a large metal gate as large swirling vortex was seen within it.
"So...you've arrived…"
"...New target identified as a Sankishin Susano'o Unit…" Mu spoke, turning a bit to see Hakumen approach her from the shadows, "'Petal' expansion. Target threat level is SS…switching to combat mode. Overriding all power Limitations"
"Devil created by the hands of man...the godslayer, Kusanagi," Hakumen stated, pulling his sword out as he got into a stance, "Girl of the Azure...I am sorry, but you must be destroyed…"
"MATTE!" Cross-Z shouted crashing between them, "AH! I'm alive!" he roared, "Take that gravity!"
"...Banjou Ryuga…" Hakumen spoke, a bit taken back by his sudden appearance, "I see you have taken the same mantle as Sento Kiryu...regardless, I suggest you move aside…" he glared over at Mu as she floated there, "If Kusanagi is allowed to live, then there is no hope for this world."
"Yada…" he replied simply, making the legendary figure just stare at him, "If I let anything happen to her, Makoto will beat my ass like a drum! And then Ragna will kick it like a football...and then Sento will transmute me into a literal monkey! But most of all..." he paused, "Noel was the one person to understand me when I had no one...if I turn my back now, then I am the worst...I am scum...so...I can't leave."
"...I am afraid you do not understand...that thing is no longer Noel Vermillion. She is nothing more than an instrument of destruction, crafted by that devil Terumi…" Hakumen argued, "Are you willing to let the Master Unit be destroyed just for her? To let time itself be destroyed?"
"I'm not the smart one." Cross-Z argued, "I just have to buy time till the smart asshole who can fix everything gets here." he explained, "That's how I'll save everyone who matters to me! By getting the smart guy to do it. While I do what I do best…" he ran over to Mu before jumping, "Wake up you stupid terrible cook you!" he shouted punching her across the back of the head.
"...He really is...an idiot…" Hakumen groaned.
"...target re-established...Threat level SS...engaging combat mode…" Me whispered, a calm yet…dangerous tone in her voice as she summoned her bits, "Commencing termination."
"He was able to make it ignore its orders?" Hakumen blinked slightly surprised and confused by that.
"Hey it worked...oh no it worked…" Cross-Z realized what he said, "Wait Noel! I didn't...AH!" he panicked avoiding attack after attack, "Come on, it's not like I talked about how your so much flatter than all your friends...and oh god I can not shut up when I'm afraid…"
"Terminate…" Mu narrowed her eyes, her bits forming a gate of sorts before a large energy sword headed right towards Cross-Z.
"So Noel is in there!" he cried jumping out of the way in time, "Ha! I knew...wait...oh shit I made her mad…" he paled behind his helmet before quickly dodging another energy sword.
"Terminate…" Mu replied simply.
"AH! Noel if your mad then just tell me! We can talk this out...or chase me the old way...the cute way you use to!" Cross-Z cried dodging attacks.
"It is obvious she can't be reasoned with!" Hakumen argued, using his sword to deflect the incoming energy swords and lasers.
"I got her mad enough, didn't I?!" Cross-Z countered before a laser managed to hit him in the chest, sending him reeling back as sparks came off his armor, "Gah!"
"I can't deny you have...gotten a rise out of her…"
"That's my point...only Noel would get mad at shit, like her cooking or her body type…" he grumbled, "That means she's in there...and I'll get her back...even if I have to make her so mad she can't help but shout her catchphrase at me."
"...Muda…" Mu spoke, pausing in her assault as she used her bits to block a cutting wave from Hakumen, "I am...a doll...a thing meant to be used and thrown away...I have no purpose in life…"
"Bullshit!" Cross-Z countered, "Your just Noel who's sad and scared so some stupid autopilot is in control! You don't mean half that nonsense cause you have friends like Makoto and Kajun and etc, the other half is just you saying things that robot part of you is meant to...and I still call bullshit cause you had parents who took care of you, friends you love, hobbies like poisoning me...like looking after Sento when he's overworked himself...making sure Ragna isn't dead...making me feel like less of an idiot over how badly I messed up, making sure Makoto doesn't kill us all when I piss her off. Reminding us to keep Jin alive…"
"Wait what?" Hakumen blinked at the last part.
"...the world despise me...Tsubaki Yayoi wants me dead...Makoto Nanaya got hurt because of me…" Mu argued, a small tear forming in one of her eyes as she lightly trembled, "This world...I do not want to live in such a cruel world...so it must be destroyed…"
"Baka!" Cross-Z snapped, "How would Makoto feel if she heard you say that nonsense!? Are you really gonna give up on Tsubaki just cause she's being difficult...she's your friend right!? Are you gonna let that evil snake and hipster keep messing with her head like that? Stop being stupid already!"
"...silence..and persih…" Mu frowned, her bits about to form an energy gate once more.
"Gh! Damn it...I…"
"Kokujin…"
"?!" Cross-Z tensed as he turned, seeing Hakuman preparing a certain attack, "Oi! Matte-!"
"SHIPPU!" Hakumen roared as he slashed down, sending forth the massive cutting wave at Mu as it engulfed her.
"NOEL!" Cross-Z exclaimed before glaring at Hakumen, "Teme…!"
"It was the only…" Hakumen began as the smoke cleared, the armored warrior tensing when he saw Mu surrounded by a barrier...with not a single scratch on her, "M..masaka…"
"Oh thank god…" Cross-Z sighed, "He's as unlucky as I am…"
"Yata no Kagami…" Mu whispered as a symbol faintly appeared behind her, her arms spread out as teh bits spread out around the area. She then sent out a laser at one of the bits, which deflected off it as it began to grow more in size and faster, almost practically a blur of light as it began to hit both Hakumen and Cross-Z before it split into two and slammed into their chest, sending them crashing into a wall.
"Okay...I get it...your not in a good mood...I use to be engaged I know how this works...but sadly...I have no chocolate…" Cross-Z groaned.
"Do you not...think before you speak?" Hakumen groaned as the two got back up.
"Not normally…" he grunted, "But I'm also not a quitter...I'm getting Noel back even if I have to drag her out of her own head kicking and screaming…"
"...Hmph...you sounded like him…"
"Eh?"
"Prep…" Mu began before her bits quickly blocked an incoming wave of ice, "...Nox Nyctorys detected…"
"Eh? Who…" Cross-Z began before he noticed jin coming out of the shadows, his clothes a bit tattered, "...Jin…"
"..is that...Noel Vermillion?" Jin pondered, ignoring Hakumen and Cross-Z at the moment.
"Jin Kisaragi...what are you doing here?" Hakumen demanded, making him look at both armored warriors.
"..you're both in my way...move," Jin ordered with a frown.
"Nande?"
"Was I not clear enough? I told you to get out of my way," Jin ordered as he pushed past the two, glaring at Mu, "This enemy is mine alone…"
"That's not an enemy dumbass! It's Noel!" Cross-Z snapped.
"I know…" Jin replied coldly.
"Grr...this is not a fight you can win," Hakumen stated.
"Shut it. This is my fight...you're nothing more than a ghost from the past, so stay the hell out of my way!" Jin barked before glaring at Cross-Z, "That goes the same for you, Banjou Ryuga."
"Like hell...I'm here to save Noel...besides what makes you think you can do it if I can't...and that guy over there can't...whatever his name was again…" Cross-Z muttered.
"...Summon Yukianesa," Jin whispered, pulling his katana out of its sheath as the room got cold.
"Oi! I said…!" Cross-Z began before a wall of ice blocked him and Hakumen, keeping them seperate from Jin and Mu.
"Shut it. This...thing needs to die…" Jin stated as he got into a battle stance, glaring over at Mu, 'Gentoku...you may have fallen from grace, but I will pick up where you left off and protect the people...starting with killing Noel Vermillion…'
"...I feel like Jin's about to do some stupid shit…" Ragna growled as he and Build rushed down the stairs, leading to the main hal of the N.O.L building.
"Well at this point, when doesn't he?" Build argued, "We need to hope Banjou can hold him off from doing said stupid thing before Noel kills him…"
"Honestly tempted to let her…" Ragna muttered before he noticed something, "?! R...Rachel!"
"Hmm?" Build blinked behind his mask as they skidded to a halt, noticing Rachel and her familiars sitting on the floor by her knees, a magic seal of sorts flashing underneath her.
"Hmph...was hoping someone would arrive to save me…" Rachel noted, "..unfortunately one of them had to be Ragna…"
"Oi oi…" Ragna groaned, "...wait. How the hell did you get yourself captured?!"
"The only man who makes mistakes is the man who never does anything," Rachel stated.
"Please help…" Nago begged.
"Feel like..we're going to die…" Gii wheezed.
"Hey! You want me to save your ass or not?!" Ragna barked, ignoring the familiars at the moment.
"And you except me to thank you after speaking so rudely to me?" Rachel countered, "Hmph...the nerve."
"Bubble here and bubble here…" Build spoke, forming blue bubbles and putting them in different spots, "Sorry don't mind me, continue your conversation." he snapped his fingers as they popped and seemed to wash away the seal, "There we go, milady."
"...How did you…" Ragna began.
"Oh please...magic is just another form of science. Just remove a few equations, and even the strongest of seals can be undone," Build answered.
"You are by far the weirdest nerd ever…" Ragna muttered.
"It saved your rude behind more than a few times." the Kamen Rider replied, "Anyway, I believe now without that seal, our good friend here is free to both insult you and fill us in on whatever is is we missed while getting kicked around."
"...As much as I would 'love' to do that, no...we need to go after Noel," Ragna argued.
"...hmm. So the boy has somewhat become more of a man," Rachel noted.
"Oh don't you start with me."
"We just unpacked maybe years worth of issues...maybe a little levity is good." Build argued.
"Oh?" Rachel raised a light brow at that.
"Oi! I...nevermind. We need to hurry," Ragna stated as he began to run off.
"...Ragna," Rachel spoke, earning his attention as he stopped, "...Do be careful."
"...Tch. I don't need you to tell me that…" Ragna scoffed as he resumed running.
"...The same goes for you, Sento Kiryu…" Rachel added, looking over at Build.
"I tend to think things through, but I can always accept an order like that," Build chuckled.
'...Be careful how you say that, because I fear the pillar you put yourself so highly on will easily crumble once a cold hard truth is revealed to you…' Rachel thought as she looked over her shoulder, faintly seeing the figure of Blood Stalk hiding in the shadows.
"HA!" Jin shouted as eh unleashed a cutting wave at Mu, only for the Murakumo unit to block it with another barrier, "Tch...shimmata…"
"Where the hell where you anyway?!" Cross-Z demanded as he began to punch at the ice wall keeping him and Hakumen out of the battle.
"I was dealing with Night Rogue…" Jin replied before using his sword to block a laser, "Or rather...Gentoku."
"Eh?" Cross-Z blinked, stopping at that.
"Yes...Gentoku and Night Rogue are the same person…" Jin added with a frown, "He also told me a bit about this...trash."
"OI! Noel is not trash!"
"She is!" Jin barked before glaring at Mu, "Especially since she...she shares her face…"
"Her? ...Oh, you got dumped big time by a girl who looks like Noel, didn't you?" Cross-Z asked bluntly.
"Sile-GH!" Jin grunted when one of Mu's swords stabbed into his side, letting some blood loose as he nearly lost his footing.
"Do not pay attention to the idiot when you're fighting a Murakumo Unit," Haku-Men sighed before pausing, "And now he's got me doing this…"
"Who you callin' an idiot?!" Cross-Z snapped, stomping a foot in annoyance.
"Continuing attack…" Mu spoke as her swords continued to slash and cut Jin, causing him to grunt in pain each time, "Slash."
"Gah!" Jin cried out as he was sent flying, blood spilling from his shoulder.
"This is pointless…" Hakumen sighed.
"Stay out of this!" Jin barked, using his katanas sheath to stand, "I told you this was 'our' fight!"
"Target's threat level decreasing…" Mu noted.
"Oh come on! Let us in on this, dammit!" Cross-Z barked, punching the ice wall once more.
"Shut it, ape!"
"I'M AN APE NOW?!" Cross-Z snapped in anger.
"Silence!" Jin barked back, about to stab his katana in the ground before Mu was instantly before him, "Gh?!"
"Pointless…" was all Mu said before raising one of her leg blades up, slashing Jin hard across the chest.
"GAH!" Jin cried out as more blood spilled from him, the ice user staggering back before he bumped into something...or rather..someone, "?"
"...The Beast," Hakumen 'frowned', seeing Ragna stand there as he looked at Mu.
"Da hell did I walk in on?" Ragna asked.
"Jin being Jin?" Build spoke as he walked up beside him.
"AH! Sento is all spiky and bubbly!" Cross-Z shouted, "And why did you call Ragna a beast? …" an awkward silence came from him, "Uh…"
"Don't you fucking go down that gutter, dammit!" Ragna barked.
"I do what I want!" Cross-Z snapped.
"Ah…" Build shook his head at their antics.
"...you're late…" Jin spoke as he looked up at Ragna, "My Dear brother…"
"...heh. Well I was just waiting for you to get the crap kicked outta ya," Ragna countered with a smirk.
"...That's so cruel...brother," Jin noted.
"Ya think? Well now you just stand back…" Ragna ordered before looking over at Hakumen, "Hey, Masked Freak. Take care of this idiot for me."
"..."
"Please, Mr. Hero," Rachel's voice spoke as she appeared nearby in a swirl of roses.
"...Tch. If I must…" Hakumen sighed.
"Uh one problem...how…?!" Cross-Z began before a bolt of thunder shattered the icewall, "...nevermind. Complaint rescinded…"
"Just get over here…" Build sighed.
"Why do scary things happen...and why are girls still scarier than most things!?" Cross-Z panicked.
"Hmm...maybe he's not totally stupid." Rachel mused at that.
"Or course I'm not! I'm the only person here who's been in a committed relationship!" Cross-Z snapped, "I know how this works!"
"I highly doubt that…" Build spoke, "It's an 80 perccent chance she took the lead all the time…"
"No! I was the man of the relationship...oi what shit are you trying to get me to say."
"Nothing." Build spoke pushing Cross-Z making him bend backwards and dodged a blast aimed at his head.
"New threat detected…" Mu spoke, her bits floating around her as she examined RAgna, "Target identified as the Azure Grimoire."
"...tch. Noel...you idiot…!" Ragna growled out, making her lightly flinch a bit, "What the hell were you thinking going down to that level?! Kusanagi, the god-killing sword? Screw all that! You're noel Vermillion, aren't you?!"
"Your our friend." Build spoke up, walking forward, "No...that doesn't do enough justice to all the good you do for us idiots…" he sighed, "You make this rag tag bunch of weirdos, geniuses, and losers…"
"OI!" the others all barked, noticing he only gave himself a positive title.
"You make us a family." Build ignored them, "Which is fine by me...cause you're the only family I got. A bunch of idiots brothers, sisters who annoy me more than I can explain. But I'd never trade any of you away, because you are just that the only thing I can think of when I picture the word family. So...no matter how much you don't like it, Noel...you're going to come home with us! Home to where Makoto will scold you for even thinking such nonsense! Home where you are cared for and loved!"
"...Unable...to identify target's emotional wavelengths…" Mu whispered, lightly twitching as she tried to focus on the two Riders and Ragna, "Patterns unknown...unknown…"
"...damn it. Terumi broke her mind too deep...and there's one way we can hopefully fix it…" Ragna growled, gripping his sword as he stood ready, "Ryuga, Sento...we need to do something about that armor of hers. Mind giving me a hand with it?"
"You kidding me?" Cross-Z spoke, cracking his knuckles as he stepped forward with Ragna, "Anything to get Noel back to normal."
"I promised to bring her back, I'm not backing down now." Build agreed.
"Good...then let's do this…" Ragna said as the three got ready to fight, "The Wheel of Fate is turning…"
"Rebel 1…" Build continued.
"ACTION!" Cross-Z roared as they charged.
"Disappear…" Mu whispered as she summoned more bits, which began firing lasers as the three as a few charged right at them.
"RAAGH!" Ragna roared as he slashed at the charging bits, destroying them as he used his sword to deflect a few of the laser shots, "Dead Spike!"
"Pointless…" Mu whispered as she summoned the barrier, blocking the demonic dragon head just as it tried to bite her.
"NOW!"
"Ora!" Cross-Z roared bursting through Ragna's attack as he was covered in flames, he kicked his leg striking the barrier sending it and Mu flying back.
Mu stopped in the air only to blink as Build appeared behind her. He chuckled as he snapped his fingers causing bubbles surrounding her to explode, once more sending her flying around against her will.
"Error..barrier damage...critical…" Mu whispered, quickly dismissing the barrier as the symbol faintly appeared behind her once more, "Yata no Kagami."
"Oh shit!" Cross-Z tensed at that as Mu fired the laser, which began to hit the summoned bits as it began to zero in on the trio.
"Carnage Scissors!" Ragna roared as he slashed forward, sending a massive crimson and black energy wave hat blocked the incoming lasers, "Sento!"
"Hup!" Build jumped over as he clapped his hands together and formed more of his energy bubbles. They all then began to spread out, exploding on contact with Mu's bits.
"Gh!" Mu tensed, shielding herself a little from the exploding bits, re-steadying herself as she charged at Build, her 'feathers' forming into an energy sword, "Sword of Decimation…"
"HA!" Cross-Z and Ragna shouted as she jumped before Build, their swords out as they blocked Mu's incoming blade.
"Hup!" Build spoke, landing on Mu's sword as he began running along it, "Noel...as your brother I've taken all I can…" he began cranking his belt, "So listen to your brothers when they says to stop acting out...and come home!"
=READY GO! SPARKING FINISH!=
"?!" Mu tensed as she summoned the barrier once more to block Build's kick
Build jumped...and kicked the barrier to jump even higher. As he flipped through the air the wormhole graph formed again as it aimed at Mu. Build aimed and shot into the Wormhole, the other end exploded in a barrage of bubbles that began striking Mu's barrier and cracking it with each strike. After the barrier finally shattered, she was surprised as the Bell graph from his original Rabbit Tank form slammed around her, keeping her in place. The wormhole began stretching and twisting around until it had many curves and loops like some sort of water slide. Mu looked up as Build flew through the tunnel, blue sparking energy covering him as he gained speed. The energy grew and became more and more liquid in appearance as he progressed through the tunnel. With a roar, Build came shooting through the tunnel as he rammed his foot hard into Mu, causing her to gasp as she was sent rocketing back, her leg blades creating gashes in the floor as she skidded back. Mu blinked as she looked up, seeing a surge of the liquid energy from before as it was still coming at her.
*BOOM!*
"Nanda...did he just blast her with a flood of liquid nitrogen or something!?" Cross-Z gawked.
"Nitroglicerin…" Build corrected, "Hopefully it'll be strong enough to knock her back to her senses."
"I...I..."
"...Check again…" Jin spoke from his, Rachel, and Hakumen's spot as the dust began to settle, showing a sparking Mu as she struggled to stand with a few cracks in her armor.
"I...I...I am...enraged...anger anger anger…" Mu whispered
"Tch…" Ragna growled at that.
"The world...hates me…" Mu continued, "I am...a doll...and the world...hates me…"
"Hai hai stop…" Build spoke, appearing before her as he put his hand on her head, he then leaned her forward as he wrapped his free arm around her, "Mou...baka wa omae…" he sighed, "Noel...do you remember my name?" he asked simply, "Kiryu Sento...that is the name you gave me, the silly name combining the Kanji for Rabbit and Tank, but it's a name I cherish...for its mine."
"...i...I am not human...I am a doll…" Mu whispered as she struggled to get free, "Hatred hatred hatred hatred!"
"Just shut the hell up!" Ragna snapped, earning her attention, "So what if you're not human?! That doesn't change anything about you! Me…" he paused as he looked at his Azure Grimoire arm, "I don't even know if I'm human anymore...but I'm just like you. It doesn't matter who or what I am...I'm a person...a human being!"
"No one hates you…" Cross-Z spoke, "Would we be here dealing with all this bullshit if we hated you? Would Makoto go so far to protect you if she hated you!? We're bringing you home...so Makoto can scold you for thinking like an idiot! Where Sento will scold you! We're all gonna scold you! Then Jin's next…" he gasped as his exhaustion was catching up to him.
"...I am afraid kind words will not reach her," Rachel spoke, earning the trio's attention, "Due to being tempered...I fear there is nothing we can do to save her...so there is only one option...Ragna, you must pluck out her soul. Only you and your Azure grimoire can accomplish this."
"Wait...what do you mean by that?" Cross-Z asked.
"The details must wait," Rachel stated, "Suffice to say, the Azure Grimoire's original form is that of the Cauldron, which should allow Ragna to shatter her soul from within...that is the only way she can be saved."
"...So in other words...you want me to kill her…" Ragna sighed, gripping his fist in anger at that, "...sorry, but I call bullshi on that."
"Hmm?"
"Invert Idea Engine Connection!" Ragna declared as the core opened up once more.
"What?" Rachel blinked in surprise.
"What is he doing?" Hakumen pondered.
"Ryuga, Sento...hold her down," Ragna ordered, gripping his sword as he stared at Noel, "Noel...this is going to hurt...a lot. But it needs to be done."
"Gomen Noel...if it helps, think of it as a shot…" Build spoke, keeping his hold on her.
"Ototototo!" Cross-Z panicked as he scrambled to look for something to do in the situation, "Makoto's gonna blame me for this! Just...just grit your teeth Noel!"
Mu narrowed her eyes as she managed to summon more bits, which began to fire at Ragna as he used his sword to deflect the shots. She was about to summon her sword once me before both Build and Cross-Z grabbed from both sides.
"Ragna, now!"
Ragna nodded, sheathing his sword as he leapt at Mu, ignoring the laser shot that pierced his chest as he gripped Mu's head piece, "Wake the hell up...YOU IDIOT!-!" he roared as his core glowed broughtly, his arm starting to crack before with a final strong grip, he shattered Mu's headpiece.
"?!" Mu gasped out, her eyes widened as she began to stagger, trying to stay in place as she began to fall before Ragna caught her...with his one single arm as she lost consciousness.
"...man...the things I do for you…" Ragna muttered, looking down at the unconscious blonde.
"Ah...thank god...now Makoto won't kill me…" Cross-Z sighed.
"Oi...you sound like she's your wife." Build pointed out.
"You take that back!" Cross-Z roared lunging at him only for Build to appear next to Ragna letting him land face first in the dirt, "Freakin Bleach flash step rip off…"
"Oi…" Build rolled his eyes behind his mask before looking at the stub that was once Ragna's arm, "..."
"Don't worry about it...it's a small price to pay to save her," Ragna stated.
"...That feeling of bloodlust…" Gentoku whispered, pausing from walking down the hallway, "It's gone….tch...they must've done it."
"That is most...impossible...impressive?" Utsumi spoke.
"What the hell?" Terumi spoke, sensing that as he managed to pull himself out of the rubble, "No...No no no no...NO! Da...wait. Why am I getting angry?"
"Why indeed…" Stalk spoke walking up to him, "Maybe you were enjoying the game too much." he laughed.
"...Perhaps..or…" Terumi paused as he grinned, "Maybe during my little power nap, I took care of a certain system with Phantom's help?"
"Oh?"
"Yup...as of right now, the Takamagahara system-as in the only system able to control the Master Unit without it doing as it pleases-is kaput...so now the true game can begin."
"How were you able to do that? That system is pretty omnipresent in…"
"Let's just say I have Raggy and Build boy to thank for that slight window of opportunity," Terumi explained, picking up his fedora as he placed it back on his head, "But enough talk...let's go check on our little party…"
"Gh...gah…"
"..oh...you're still here…" Terumi noted, looking down at the injured Karai, "Oi Stalk, what should we do with this defect?"
"I can find some use for her." he spoke walking over to her, "Hey...Karai...Karai~ Psst...psst…" he spoke poking her, "Don't you ignore me…"
"Sh...shut up…" Karai groaned as she weakly looked up at him, "That damn bastard Ryuga...I...I can't even move a damn limb."
"Touch…" he said slowly as he moved his finger towards her face.
"Ahh...well get up. We don't want to miss the show…" Terumi smirked.
"Grr...fine…"
"Ragna will be there."
"ONII-SAMA~!" Karai cheered, shooting up as she became a black blur.
"She thirsty as hell…"
"When isn't she?"
"M...mmm…" Mu...no. Noel groaned as she slowly began to regain consciousness, slowly opening her eyes as the deep azure blue was replaced with her normal emerald green eyes.
"Oh phew it worked…" Cross-Z's voice sighed in relief.
"I'll admit...while that was really reckless and had a 50-50 chance of working, you did it…" Build's voice added, "...Then again, i did pretty much softened her up for ya."
"Oi oi. Are you trying to steal my win?" Ragna's voice complained.
"Steal...claim...these are just words we use." Build replied.
"N...nani?" Noel pondered as she fully opened her eyes, seeing the trio looking down at her...before noticing Ragna's missing arm, "?!"
"And she noticed the arm…" Build sighed.
"Noel!" Cross-Z called out, "Your okay right!? Your not hurt?! Please tell me your not hurt! I don't want Makoto to kill me!"
"...sh...why…why?" Noel asked, tears beginning to form in her eyes as she noticed how badly injured Ragna was, "Why did you do this for me...WHY?!"
"Ugh...not so loud please…" Ragna groaned, wincing in pain a bit as he held his head with his sole arm, "I think I got a concussion from that last fight…"
"But...your arm...your arm!"
"Yeah...it's gone for good this time…" Ragna sighed, "...oh well. I have one left, so no worries right?"
"That's not the problem! That's not...not…" Noel began, sniffling a bit as she weakly began to pound her fist into Ragna's chest, "Baka! Baka baka baka baka baka baka!-!"
"That...we can truly agree on," Rachel sighed, "I mean honestly...what on Earth made you think it would be wise to counter-current the tempering? You softheated idiot…"
"I'm just glad I'm not the one being called an idiot for once." Cross-Z sighed, "Can I pass out in an exhaustion coma now?"
"Sure." Build shrugged.
"Ahh…" he groaned falling over again, "Great we got Noel let's go home! I'm tired…"
"...hmph…" Hakumen scoffed as he began to walk off.
"Mr. Hero?" Rachel questioned.
"I have no desire to kill a man who is near death…" Hakumen answered, not once turning to face the group, "I have no business here…"
"Wait...you're just gonna let me walk?" Ragna asked, ignoring Noel at the moment.
"Do not mistake mercy for forgiveness...when we next meet, it will be your end."
"Blah blah blah!" Cross-Z taunted before he crawled over and grabbed Jin's legs tripping him, "No one's forgiven you either, teme!" he cried jumping on him "You tried to hurt Noel!" he shouted grabbing him in a headlock just as his armor vanished, "I'm telling Makoto!"
"Gh! Let go, gutter trash!"
"Make me, ice boy!"
"...n...nani?" Noel blinked, stopping in her crying for a moment, "J...Jin tried to what?"
"You heard me! This idiot tried to kill you!" Ryuga snapped, currently giving Jin a noogie.
"Damn it! Stop that right now!" Jin barked.
"NEVAH! I have permission!"
"No you don-"
"Ryuga stop holding back!" Ragna declared.
"AH!" Ryuga roared patting his elbow as he dropped on Jin.
"And this is the toxic masculinity that makes you dumber than a fraction of my brain." Build shook his head.
"Wow….haha! What fresh hell did I walk in on?"
"?!" everyone there tensed as they looked out at an energy gate began, seeing Terumi stand there as he, Phantom, and Stalk began to rise from it...with Terumi's wounds gone and his tattered clothes completely new...as if he never sustained any damage at all.
"What?!"
"Sup, bitches?" Terumi greeted with a smirk.
"Terumi!" Ragna growled as Hakumen got into a defensive stance.
"You're a persistent one aren't you…?" Build sighed.
"Oh please. Like you can keep this handsome face down," Terumi quipped, "Oh and I just have the most fantastic news. You know that Takamagahara thingamajig? I just broke its ass with the power of mathematics!"
"?!" Rachel gasped at that while Hakumen tensed, "But...beyond the gaze of Takamagahara...you should nary exist."
"I know right?" Terumi smirked as he motioned to Ragna, "O'l Raggy boy and Build did me a HUGE solid. I mean...they could've killed me, but they wanted to be the 'better men' and leave me to my pain so they can rescue some flat doll and a vamp tween. Nudge nudge wink wink."
"Uh...not to but in, but what is…" Ryuga began.
"It keeps the Master Unit in line and makes sure both Time and Space remain balanced and erase any threats to it," Rachel explained, "But what Terumi did...it should be impossible."
"And yet here I am!" Terumi laughed, "Everything's coming up Terumi! I couldn't have planned it better1 Now let's hear it for the poor schmucks who didn't realize they helped me out. Ragna the Bloodedge and Kamen Rider Build!"
"GO TO HELL!" Ragna barked.
"Hmm…" Build ignored them as he was doing something off in the corner.
"Oi...did you ignore me?" Terumi asked more shocked then upset.
"Shhh...genius at work here." he complained, "Yes...hmm...so this is the equation for time and space...magnificent." he laughed clapping his hands.
"Da hell you talkin bout!?" Ryuga snapped.
"I cracked time travel…" Build replied, "Well...what he calls time travel…" he pointed at Terumi.
"Bullshit…" Terumi replied simply.
"What fantastical bullshit you doing?" Ragna complained.
"Well...ever since this fight began Sparkling has been decoding a strange formula we...we being the smart we...detected." Build explained, "So I built this armor to have a secondary purposes...discover and help answer things like this."
"Uh…"
"Sento wins." Rachel translated.
"Thank you M'lady." Build bowed.
"Oh ho! Oh..oh that is hilarious!" Stalk laughed as Terumi's eye twitched a bit.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Terumi asked.
"Let me put it in...small...easy to understand words." Build pointed at his helmet, "In my head is the key to what you really want." he stated, "My Kick from before more or less hacked and put a lock on you. Without the formula in my head, well...your work amounts to 0. Meaning for what you want to happen...you need my mind!"
"EH!?" the others all gawked.
"So you mean...you...you beat him...by not beating him!?" Ryuga gawked.
"Eeyup…"
"...You know...I came here to have a blast...instead…" Terumi growled as he took his fedora off, "I'll just paint the walls with your blood!"
"Good! Time to finish what we started anyway!" ragna barked.
"Sure you can fight in your condition?" Stalk asked, "I mean...she may not like it..or may."
"Eh? Wh-" Ragna began before Karai tackled him over, "GAH!"
"ONII-SAMA~!" Karai cried as she nuzzled against him, "Miss you~"
"Damn it get off!"
"Are you sure you want to fight now?" Build asked, "Even if with your abilities...in terms of power Sparking has you beat." he lifted his arm as the blades extended, "And my suit also heals my body and stamina over extensive periods of time," he went on, "So...how much time are you looking to waste? Cause I can go all day."
"Why you…!" Terumi snarled, a symbol faintly appearing behind him for a moment.
"That's enough, Hazama," a voice spoke, causing Terumi to turn and see Relius standing on top of a similar energy gate, "You are in her presence after all."
"Oh? Is she finally going to reveal herself?" Stalk asked.
"Yes…" Relius nodded as he looked to the side, seeing an energy gate beginning to form as black flames formed, "The imperator Librarius..has arrived."
At that, a figure began to step out of the gate, the group tensing when they felt it...a massive killing intent coming right off the figure...as if death itself was staring them down. The black flames dispersed, revealing Phantom as a figure began to appear from the magic circle. The figure was a young woman with long violet hair that was held into a ponytail by a bronze band, resembling an open fan, a pair of gold 'chopsticks' in her hair where it was grouped together to make the ponytail. Coating her body was an intricate set of robes that mostly consisted of white, dark purple, and red. She then slowly opened her eyes, revealing them to be a cold, soulless crimson red.
"Begone...Terumi," the Imperator ordered.
"...hmph. Excuse me…" Terumi muttered as he put his fedora back on, "Heh...guess I went a little crazy there…"
"M..masaka…" Ragna whispered in disbelief.
"There...there's no way…." Jin said in equal shock.
"This Cauldron..is not yet dust?" she asked, looking back at the Cauldron behind her.
"What's happening with today?" Ryuga asked.
"Hm? And the criminal Banjou Ryuga still lives? Hmph..I do not know whether to be disappointed in either you or Gentoku, Blood Stalk."
"What...it's all part of the plan…" Stalk shrugged.
"Saya….Saya, what the hell?!" Ragna demanded.
"Saya?" Build blinked.
"Uso…" Jin spoke, "...gr...damn you!"
"Wait stop!" Rachel called as Jin and Hakumen drew their swords unleashing a pair of cutting waves at the Imperator.
"...hmph," the Imperator merely closed her eyes as a pair of figures blocked the cutting waves.
"?! Tsubaki…" Noel whispered as Tsubaki landed on an energy gate near Relius.
"Tch...Gentoku…" Jin growled as Night Rogue landed near another Energy Gate near Stalk and Terumi.
"Gentoku?" Build repeated.
"What is the meaning of this?" Hakumen demanded.
"Takamagahara...sits in the palm of my hand," the Imperator spoke as she looked at Build for a moment, "No matter what you say, Kamen Rider...all phenomena once random..are now sequential. I have brought ruin to the Master Unit and made history forever the past...the world will once again be as it should…a world...of death."
"..." Build walked forward as he stepped on a rock and leaned forward slightly, "Then I'll rebuild the world after your done with it!" he declared simply, "All of you...everything you tear down, destroy and ruin. I'll be the man who rebuilds it!"
"...Such hope...but like many things...it can be shattered," the Imperator simply said.
Before Build could even reply, he suddenly cried out in pain as multiple sparks came of his armor, causing him to stagger back as his armor completely vanished.
"?! Wh...what just...happened?" Ryuga asked as Sento fell to one knee, "What just…"
"That is her power…" Rachel spoke, a slight scowl on her face as she glared at the Imperator, "She can stop the passage of time, if only for a few seconds…"
"Which is all I need should I choose to fight…" the Imperator cut in as she stared down at Rachel, "Rachel Alucard...your efforts are for naught. A man at death's door...can do nothing but knock…"
"...true, and yet you assume Ragna is the only one here that will stop you…" Rachel countered.
"Hmm?"
"Sento Kiryu. So far his actions have...intrigued me…" Rachel admitted, "Perhaps he will be the key to winning this little chess game of ours…"
"If it's all the same to any of you...I'm going into shock." Sento panted, holding a hand over his chest as he bled from his head a bit, 'The power to stop time...that's...a rather difficult power to deal with…' "Challenge Accepted!"
"Hmm?" the Imperator turned her attention back towards him
"No…" Ragna spoke knowing that tone.
"I accept the challenge and will overcome your ability!" Sento smiled sitting up.
"Baka!" Ryuga snapped only to get punched and sent flying.
"I'm no idiot." Sento spoke, "I'm the smartest man on Earth!" he declared standing back up, "Kiryu Sento! Remember that name!"
"...Hmph…very well…" The Imperator nodded a bit, "Let us see who wins this war...your IQ..or the power of a god...Kiryu Sento...Karai, we are leaving."
"Hah~!? But…"
"Now."
"...Yes, ma'am…" Karai meeped, letting go of Ragna as she immediately hopped onto one of the energy gates.
"Until next time, Raggy.." Hazama grinned as he began to vanish into the energy gate.
"...Jin...Noel…" Tsubaki whispered as she went next.
"We don't have time." Night Rogue spoke, walking in after her "Come on."
"...Hai." Tsuaki sighed as Relius and Karai disappeared next.
"Bye bye~" Stalk waved as he was the last to go after Phantom and the Imperator.
"Tsubaki…" Noel spoke in concern.
"We'll get her back." Ryuga spoke, "She's next on the list of dumbasses we're beating sense into!" he declared bonking Jin on the head keeping him from speaking, "No one cares!"
"...Grr...damn it!" Ragna snapped, startling Ryuga and noel as he fell to his knees and began to punch the ground, "I knew it...I KNEW IT!"
"...that was her...wasn't it?" Sento asked, not once turning to face Ragna, "That was your little sister...wasn't it?"
"...Yeah...but...in my mind I had a feeling where she was...I…" Ragna grunted as he punched the ground once more, "I hoped I was wrong!"
"Well seems like things have become more complicated." Sento sighed.
"Ow...ow...owie…" Makoto complained, some bandages on her with some over one of her eyes and her arm in a sling..
"Well I can't help if your gonna keep crying!" Ryuga snapped.
"But it hurts~!"
"Fine! Ice your own wounds you big baby!"
"Oh you suck!"
"Keep it down in there!" Kokonoe's voice snapped from another room, "I need to concentrate damn it…"
"Well you try dealing with the big baby!" Ryuga pointed at Makoto.
"I am not a baby!" Makoto pouted.
"Hai hai. You two can call each other 'Baby' all you want but silently." Sento replied as he began work building a new lab.
"Wh-OI!" the two barked.
"Mmm...keep it down…" Noel groaned.
"Oh…see what you did? You woke her up from her nap." Sento sighed.
"Sorry! We didn't mean..oi stop that! No...you st-"
*BANG!*
"..." the three slowly turned to Noel as she stood in a doorway, Bolverk in one hand as she held a stuffed rabbit.
"Please...keep it down or else…" Noel stated with a rather...unsettling smile as she went back in.
"Why did she come back all assertive…?" Ryuga hissed in fear.
"I think she got bits of her other self after Ragna crushed her head piece..." Sento whispered.
"What did I miss…?" Makoto muttered.
"I wish I knew…" Ryuga sighed, falling over, "And now Sento has a super mode!"
"What...I'm the guy who makes the gear. I deserve to treat myself."
"I did help with it," Kajun reminded as she helped him set up the lab.
"True." he smiled.
"When are you gonna make me a belt!?" Makoto pouted.
"Hmm…" he pulled out an unfinished device, "You mean like this one?" he asked showing her a blue Driver like belt, it had a tube of glass along the left side, two crusher wall like yellow parts, and a hole like section in the right side, he then put it up on a high shelf and pushed it towards the back, "Get better, then off that bed and come and get it." he challenged.
"...Yes sir!" Makoto saluted as she laid back down, "Ah…came down too hard.."
"This is why we need to rest," Sento sighed, "Banjou powered up too much and if he transforms again, the backlash will hit him worse then the flaming freight train that was puberty."
"Seriously?!" Ryuga gawked at that before another gunshot went off, "...sorry."
"Ragna is currently under an inebriated coma to keep him from bothering anyone and so Kokonoe can give him a new arm. Jin's in the time out room…"
"Let me out of the closet…" Jin's voice groaned.
"You said it. Not me." Sento joked.
"D'oh…!"
"Pffthahaha…" Makoto laughed before wincing, "Ow...so much regret…"
"So...while we fix up the new place, and heal we just gotta take it easy." Sento sighed.
"Why did you get away with no injuries…?" Ryuga groaned.
"I bother to include life support in my armor," Sento smirked.
"What?!" Ryuga hissed, "Hacks! I call Hacks!"
"Why do you think I only ever have cuts and scrapes after a long fight?" Sento smirked, putting his hand to his face, "My armor has a healing unit for itself and me. It's how I keep this prettiness from getting messed up."
"Aw man…wait. Did you program it into my armor?"
"I programmed it into the Build Driver...but its not a miracle fixer…" Sento argued.
"Ah no fair man."
"Behave," Kajun stated, "...Still…" she moved over to the Sparking Full Bottle, "The end result of so many hours of work is amazing! Sento, I believe this is one of your..if not our greatest works yet...and yet…I feel we can go further."
"Hmm?"
"Would it be possible to use Sparking variants of your other forms?"
"...Hmm...very tempting…" Sento muttered, "But no, the element that makes Sparking only works with Rabbit and Tank Best Match."
"How do you know?" Makoto asked.
"Ehehehe…" the geniuses laughed, "Oh...w-we know."
"...AH! The times they told us to keep messing with that funky lightbulb and the bottles!" Ryuga gawked.
"AH! You told it was to see if we were smart!" Makoto complained, "We got blown up!"
"And shocked!"
"And shotgun blasted with diamonds!"
"It hurt!"
"By a l-" Makoto began before tensing with Ryuga when Noel was in the doorway once more...with a rocket launcher.
"I apologize, Makoto, Ryuga...but disturb me one more time, and I will blast you out of here," Noel threatened, the unsettling smile never leaving her face.
"Noel, put on your headphones," Sento patted her head, "I told you to put on the headphones. You know what it's like around here…"
"...hai…" Noel pouted, dismissing the rocket launcher as she went back into her room, grabbing a pair of blue headphones as she passed by them, said headphones making it look like she had red rabbit ears.
"Seriously...it's so scary to see Noellie so...strong willed...and scary…" Makoto whispered, her tail sticking up.
"She's been through some changes...but she's still our Noel," Sento smiled, "Our cute little sister figure."
"Debatable…" Jin's voice groaned.
"Nobody asked you," Sento countered.
"Grr…"
