Note: I will not be writing descriptions on how the fights go. I'm gonna let you guys imagine that for yourselves.

Stage: Maiden Vault

Our heroes have finally made it to the goal where the 'Grand Power' awaits.

Maya: "Gooooaal! ...Right?"

Ryu: "So it seems. It doesn't look like there's anywhere else to go."

Celena: "This giant tree does give a vibe of importance, though."

Phoenix: "It kinda looks like the type of place a 'Grand Power' would be."

Ryu: "That is if we can believe everything that voice has told us."

Celena: "Oh, yeah. Where did she go, anyway? She hasn't chimed in for a while now."

Maya: "And where's this 'one in charge' that Duke brought up anyway?"

???: "Well done, well DONE." As he claps slowly.

Ryu: "Huh? Whose there!?"

Celena: "Wait! I recognize that voice!" And yes, it's Bitter.

Bitter: "Thank you all ever so much for coming all this way. Boy, I'd sure be exhausted if I were you."

Celena: "Bitter Merlot! I knew it was you!"

Ryu: "You know this guy?"

Celena: "Yeah. He's an evil scientist from my world. But judging by how much younger he looks compared to the last time I saw him, he's gotta be from the past."'That and that I saw Bitter die right before me so the fact that he's even here proves that theory as well.'

Bitter: "Ah, but who cares about me? You're the heroes of the hour! The very first ones to make it to the goal!"

Maya: "Umm... Thanks?"

Celena: "Gimme a break! What the hell're you up to here, Merlot? Your always up to something!"

Bitter: "Oh my, how blunt. But I suppose your right. You see, I've been watching your trials and tribulations this whole time! Now, I must admit, I had my theories, but... I really didn't think you'd be the ones to make it here first. It seems you really are a possibility."

Phoenix: "Possibility?"

Bitter: "Oh, don't mind that. I'm just talking to myself."

Celena: "Because your fucking insane!"

Bitter: "Anyway, let's get to the matter of your championship prize."

Celena: "Huh?"

Maya: "You mean that 'Grand Power' thing, right? System mentioned that it could grant any wish."

Bitter: "That's right! It's a wonderful power that can make your dreams come true!"

Celena: "Bullshit! Your just saying that to lure us into some kind of trap!"

Bitter: "Oh no! I'm serious! And I can prove it... because that power is right over there." They all turn to see a man in black armor and a cape with white hair and a scar across his right eye. He being held in place by some kinda green magic.

Celena: *gasp*"No way... Isn't that Raven Croft!? What is he doing here!? And what is this power!? This isn't anything like how he was the last time I fought him!"

Maya: "He looks... really scary."

Ryu: "He also looks really strong. That armor looks like it's been through some tough battles."

Celena: "Alright, that's it! I've had up to here with your bullshit! Why the hell is Croft being displayed as the Grand Power!?"

Phoenix: "Better question: what's that strange energy surrounding it?"

Bitter: "Oh, that's just the seal keeping him from moving. Can you imagine would happen if he were unleashed? It'd be nothing but chaos."

Maya: "Nothing but chaos...? Just what is that thing?" That's when System finally shows up again. But she sounds rather staticky and worn out.

System: "...It's the Dark Armor of the God of Darkness."

Ryu: "Huh? That's voice!"

Phoenix: "S-System!? Is that you!? You sound like you're in pain." Then we see a small green stone floating in the air in pieces.

System: "I'm just... glad you came. They made it in time... Dr. Merlot."

Bitter: "They did. And all because you worked so hard to keep Croft contained."

System: "No... Without you, Dr. Merlot, I... would be long gone by now. I wouldn't have accomplished anything... My... restraints won't hold it... for much longer. I feel like I could... disappear at any moment."

Maya: "Disappear...? No!"

Celena: "Wh-What are you saying!? You had so much energy just a little while ago! What happened!?"

Bitter: "Oh, that was all me."

Celena: "Excuse me?"

Bitter: "I said, that 'System' you heard was all me."

Celena: "Whaaaaat!?"

Bitter: "Ahem, ahem. Mic test, mic test. Believe me now?" Speaking in Systems voice.

Maya: "None of this makes sense..."

Phoenix: "So you were using her voice and guiding us along this entire time?"

System: "While I'm still conscious... there's something you should know... This world... This Phantom Field... was supposed to have been closed. However, the power of that Dark Armor Raven wears contains the power of the God of Darkness from Ravens world... and he used it to tear the gate down... Then he tried to destroy everything in his path."

Ryu: "What!?"

System: "The Phantom Field is governed by a convergence system... It's meant to merge every observable phenomenon into a single, stable world. Or at least it was... But that armor overwrite the system to bypass it and enter... destroying whatever he pleases..."

Ryu: "That doesn't sound good!"

System: "I've managed to keep it contained... To defend the system controls, but... Haha... Look at me now."

Bitter: "In other words, I had the original overseer, System, focus on containing that Croft while I ran the tournament. All in the hopes of finding someone to put him gown for good."

Ryu: "Do you mean...!?

Phoenix: "We were tricked from the very beginning."

Celena: "You bastard! You lied about he Grand Power to bait us into... dealing with a monster Croft!?"

Bitter: "Oh, I'm hurt. I wouldn't say I lied, per se. I mean, there was a goal and a Grand Power that could change the world."

Phoenix: "Just, wait a second here. Who is this Raven Croft? Why does he have such powerful armor in the first place? And if your suppose to be evil, then why're you so content on getting rid of him? Would Crofts power being unleashed benefit your profession?"

Celena: "Raven Croft is a Huntsmen from my world turned traitor. He wanted to use the God of Darkness to take over the entire multiverse. But my Dad and the other seven Spirit Guardian bearers combined their powers with the Goddess I'm named after to banish the God from Remnant so that Croft can't get to him. As for the armor, I have no idea... His armor was normal the last time I saw him."

Bitter: "I can't really answer that either. But I can answer your final question. First off, my goal is to rule Remnant with my fathers creation of mutant Grimm and my creation from a robot army. If Croft beat me to the punch then there wouldn't be much of a point. And second, my main reason for trying to get rid of him, is that I'm just trying to take responsibility for the nasty power I set loose upon this world."

Celena: "Huh? What did you just say?"

Bitter: "That's right. I was the one who reopened the door to this world."

Celena: "SERIOUSLY!?"

System: "WHAAAAT!?"

Celena: "Wait, you didn't know either!?"

System: "I totally didn't!"

Bitter: "No no no no, don't take that the wrong way! I wasn't TRYING to destroy all of existence, really!"

Phoenix: "Then how about you tell us what REALLY happened!?"

Bitter: "But of course! I just so happened to obtain a key to this world from a certain somewhere. Then I tried activating it with a little help from the God of Darkness' Pool of Death from my world. Unfortunately, it seems this Raven Croft, who's from many years into the future, mind you, was using his armors power on the pool in his time at the same time as I was, at such the Keystone and the armor, reacted rather violently, and brought future Croft to my time. This Phantom Field form when Croft attempted to attack me. And as you know he tried to take over."

Ryu: "And that's all what led to this?"

System: "Th-This is all news to me!"

Maya: "So, um... Does that mean... all of this is..."

Celena: "This is all YOUR fault!"

Bitter: "Yes. Did I not make that clear?"

Celena: "If you're determined to "take responsibility,' why don't you man up and take him down yourself!?"

Bitter: "Believe me, I really would love to. But unfortunately, I'm unaware of what that armor is capable of, and I really don't feel like dying today..." Everything starts shaking!

System: "Ugh...! I... I'm... Ugh..."

Maya: "S-System!?"

System: "I'm... sorry... I can't... hold on anymore... Raven... Croft... is starting to move."

Bitter: "Oh, that can't be good. Thank you for holding him as long as you have. Alright, everyone. He's all yours!" He runs off.

Celena: "Oh for the love of-! Get back here!"

System: "Whoops." Systems seal finally breaks!

Raven: "GROAAAAAAR!!!" And Raven is now free! And his opened eyes are a burning red!

Ryu: "!!... Raven has awakened!"

Phoenix: "But then that would mean...!"

Maya: "System..."

Celena: "Stand back, all of you!"

Phoenix: "Celena...?"

Celena: "I let you guys take the heat from the last battle, so this ones all mine."

Maya: "Y-You're really gonna try to fight that guy by yourself!? There's no way! His armor gives him god like power!"

Celena: "Yeah. I know. I can sense how strong he is, even if I wish I couldn't. So please, let me do this. I don't wanna put any of you in any further danger."

Ryu: *sigh*"Very well... if you insist..."

Raven: *yaaaawn*"Freedom at last! That bastards gonna pay for this!" Speaking in a British accent.

Celena: "Raven Croft..."

Raven: "And what do we have here? The daughter but not the father? I was looking forward to seeing the Green Reaper here as well... But I also have a bone to pick with you too, so I guess I can't complain."

Celena: "Before we start, I have to know... Where the hell did you find that armor..."

Raven: "Oh, it was quite simple, really. After losing to you and Project Guardian last time, I did a follow up mission in investigating the depths of the Domain of Darkness. Deep within the crystal caves was a hidden chamber that contained the armor... as well as its origin story."

Celena: "Origin story?"

Raven: "The God created it in hope that a mortal soul as wicked as him would find it. And whoever does wearing, is allowed access to a small fraction of the Gods power! Even if it's a small fraction, that's still quite a lot of power for a mortal soul."

Celena: "That bastard!"

Raven: "And as for why I was using its power on the pool, I was trying to see if I could break the spell that Project Guardian used on the God to bring him back so that I could continue with my original plan."

Celena: "You mean to use the God of Darknesses power to rule the multiverse."

Raven: "Yes. And while this armor IS powerful, I'm afraid it's not powerful enough to do that."

Celena: "I see... All the more reason I need to bring you down!"

Raven: "Oh? Do you honestly think you can defeat me like this?"

Celena: "Well... According to the 'Bitcher' Merlot, I'm a 'possibility'." She draws her weapon. "A possibility to kick your ass!"

Raven: "Oh, please!" He draws his black lightning sword. "Hyaaaaah!" He swings his blade with incredible speed, but it doesn't Celena. Instead, someone jumps in the way to block Crofts attack.

???: "Heh. Not a bad joke there, kiddo." It's a man in a green trench coat with a black t-shirt underneath, and black sweatpants, fingerless gloves, and tennis shoes. He's gots long brown hair and is wielding a large green dual edged sword. Identified as Aidan Verde. The Green Reaper, current Headmaster of Shade Academy, and Celena's father.

Celena: *gasp*"Dad!?"

Aidan: "But you're not who he was talking about." He then pushes breaks the hold and pushes Raven back.

Celena: "B-But... How did you...!?"

Maya: "Whoa! Who's that cool guy that just saved Celena?"

Phoenix: "Her dad apparently..."

Ryu: "Yes... some parts of Celena's face have a rather uncanny resemblance to him..." Then we hear Rachel's voice.

Rachel: "Must you always go running off on your own? This is why I don't like letting dogs like you off the leash." And she appears out of nowhere. "That said, I can't complain about Celena's continued survival. Great work, Aidan."

Aidan: "Aw, shut up. I don't need you talking down to me right now."

Celena: "You're... Rachel...!"

Rachel: "Is that how you speak to someone who just saved your life? A 'thank you' would have been nice."

Aidan: "Hey, I'm the one who saved her."

Rachel: "Ah, but who was it that brought you here? Do you know how much of my energy it took for me to bring the Aidan of Celena's time period rather than the past Aidan who has previously been here? It miraculous that I was even able to pull through, making me a miracle worker."

Aidan: "That's a lot less impressive when you leave out the part that you did it to clean up the mess that YOU created. So there's that. C'mon, Celena, you're coming with me."

Celena: "Wh-Where to...?"

Aidan: "To crush that dumbass armor, obviously."

Celena: "Crush the armor?"

Aidan: "Since that armor is the reason he was to overwrite the system in the first place, then destroying it will put this world back to normal."

Celena: "You... really think I could do that?"

Aidan: "No, not you. You AND me."

Rachel: "That's right. At this moment, you are the only ones capable of destroying it. The two of you are our possibility. Now go save the world."

Raven: "So now the father shows his face... At least now I can kill two birds with one stone!"

Celena: "Heh... Destroy a godly relic, and save the world. Not how I thought my day was gonna end... But I guess today wasn't the start of the absurdity. I've been in the thick of it ever since I joined Shade. Alright, bring it on! Let's kick this guys ass!"

Aidan: "Now you're talkin'. Make your old man proud, Kitten!"

Celena: "Just don't fall behind, Dad!"

Aidan and Celena vs Raven(Dark Armor)

Theme= Blazblue Cross Tag Battle: Turning Fate

Aidan: "Nows our chance! Keep up, Celena!"

Celena: "Yeah! Let's give it to 'em!"

Aidan: "Come on... Come on!"

Celena: "Come forth... My other self!"

Aidan and Celena: "We're... Right Here!"

Celena: "Kusabira!!!"

Aidan: "Skeeeeeiiiiith!!!" They both summon their Spirit Guardians.

Raven: "Grr! Not this again!"

Celena: "Trying to escape our blades!?" Celena starts with a barrage of rapid slashes with help from her Semblance. "Walk forth... to the ever approaching moonrise!"

Aidan: "And the power of light of darkness, that'll show you the true power AND fear of Death!" Skeith converges light and dark energy onto Croft. Then both Aidan and Skeith charge up energy into their blades.

Aidan and Celena: "OUR power!"

Celena: "Distant Frontier!"

Aidan: "Demonic Divider!" Aidan and Skeith strike, create an X shaped energy slash at the same time as Kusabira preforming Hassou Tobi, an 8 ways energy slash attack, when Celena delivers her final slash and lands next to Aidan.

Celena: "You can escape fate..."

Aidan: "...But you CAN'T escape death!"

Raven: "Gh...! GRAAAAAAGH!!!" Some kinda purple energy forms around the armor and shatters! And Raven drops to his knees in defeat. "D-Damnit!"
