( A new story has begun... I hope you all are ready for the ride that is to come so let's begin!)

Canon Prologue

Deep in the city streets lies a simple bar. This bar is not your ordinary bar however as much as the city is not your ordinary city. This bar has an illegal fighting ring that where many high intensity bets are made with lives often put on the line. Now you may be wondering... how can this bar even have such a location in the first place? Why all you have to do is just be a part of the 1st Free State of Otsu, a former part of the hierarchical city system which managed to gain freedom from the NOL at the expense of being one of the smallest in the world.

How one state could gain it's freedom let alone from the greatest government the world has ever seen will be saved for another time. That is not important right now. What is important... is that in this very bar, where an illegal fighting ring is held... we just into the middle of one of these fights, as a woman slams into the pure steel post of the ring she was standing on, her tail absorbing the impact she felt as with grace she pushed herself off the post as she stared down against her much larger foe.

This woman had a light chestnut brown short hair with twin ahoge sticking out as at the end of her hair had small blond highlights. The tail in question is a rather bushy brown tail that has a couple of noticeable black and white lines flowing through them as her large boobs struggled to not jiggle out of the sports Bra she had to wear due to being in a fight club as her fists were bound tightly with tape that was covered in the blood of the guy she was beating up as she couldn't help but let out a small smirk.

"Come on tough guy, that all you got for just the first round?" The woman taunted as she waved her fists towards the man, allowing the cut that had formed at the right side of her eye to bleed a little as the man she taunted charges right for her attempting to decapitate her head off. The Woman merely bobs and weaves as she used the motion she gained to quickly dash up towards the man and land two solid blows to his liver and spine, causing the giant man to keel over as his chin was exposed and ripe for the taking.

"LIGHTS OUT SUCKER!" The woman screamed as her fist wound up and she delivered a devastating uppercut right onto the jaw of the behemoth, sending him flying away from the ring into the crowd where they stepped away just in time as the floorboards gave away and simply allowed him to crash right down to the basement as the crowd roared into cheers at the results of the match. "AND WITH THAT! WE HAVE OUR WINNER FOLKS! GIVE IT UP TO THE SMALL PACKAGE HERSELF! MAKOTO NANAYA!" The announcer screamed as Makoto simply licked her lips in satisfaction and raised her fists triumphantly.

As she did so, the crowd both cheered and booed for her as they showered her with all sorts of assorted trash. Makoto couldn't help but play up the crowd a little as she raised her fists into the air and did a small jog around the ring, swaying her tail in the process and purposely allowing little slivers of her ass to show, causing the cheering and booing to intensify. As she made her way down to the lockers and away from the chaos happening in the ring, Makoto couldn't help but think about what has happened to her.


It had been two years since she signed up with the NOL. Since that fateful day where she got an early promotion into the NOL thanks to a certain event, she was able to get into her dream job of being a part of intelligence and was exploring the world like she had never before. However before she even got to be a part of intelligence, she had to prove her worth in the Ikaruga war, participating in the normal infantry and fighting against Ikarugans, spilling a fair share of blood in the process.

Since that time, the Ikaruga war was done and dusted, with the Ikarugan federation officially being disbanded with the death of the great lord Tenjo and all of the Hierarchical cities under the Ikarguan federation now being placed under NOL rule. Otsu is the exception to that rule because they managed to apply for freedom to rule on their own at a moment where Public support for the NOL was at an all time low and thus why Otsu is called the 1st free state instead of being a part of the 9th or 10th hierarchical cities of Akitsu.

However it was not to say that the Ikaruga war was all smooth sailing for the NOL. During the war, Makoto lost a lot of people, people she considered close friends of hers. People she never got to see during the war and the last time she did was when she went for their funerals that the NOL provides for all soldiers. Her current surviving friends are either throwing themselves into their current lives and keeping themselves busy in the process or have just gone dark in general.

One of those friends was Noel Vermillion. A close friend of hers and a part of one of the families that was formerly supported by the NOL. She had been assigned to work under Major Jin Kisaragi, the adopted son of the Kisaragi household and has become busy since being his assistant. Another friend, Tsubaki Yayoi, has been climbing up the ranks in the NOL having gotten herself promoted to Lieutenant recently in the main division of the NOL and doesn't even show signs of slowing down, with some saying she may become a Major if she kept up with her current pace.

And what about Makoto? Well like she wanted, she got to join the Intelligence department like she had always dreamed but there was some things she did not like about it. The main thing being her captain who she cannot help but hate... maybe because of his green hair or his bright yellow eyes that simply reminds her of a snake. There is also not to mention the fact that he would often not pay her in time, often forcing to fight as she is currently doing so right now in Otsu as she was in the middle of changing when the door opened and she saw the Announcer of the match standing in front of it.


"Once again Miss Nanaya, you are making me a lot of money right now. Here's your cut of the cash as we promised." The promoter said to her, handing her a cool stack of cash that she takes to carefully count. "Oh come on now, you know I won't cut my best fighter now." he said as Makoto sighed hearing that. "But I know that you're a two time bitch who has often not paid in full... but it looks like this time you did. So good for you." Makoto said as she quickly pockets her cash and begins to change into a simple pair of clothes and undoing the tape around her bloody fists, exposing the dried up blood which had managed to soak their way through the tape in the process.

"You know... I do have another set of fights lined up for you if you are interested." The Announcer asked as Makoto simply shook her head. "I've seen the fighters you bring in, None of them interest me in any way." Makoto replied as the Announcer got closer. "Then what about other services then, I am pretty sure that there are some men who..." before he could even finish his sentence, Makoto quickly turns around and clocks him right in the face with enough force to send him crashing into the lockers.

"Not interested buddy. I'm leaving." Makoto simply replied as she finished putting on the a black jacket that was rather worn out to cover her body from the frigid cold that Otsu was experiencing due to a recent malfunction in the weather system caused by the most wanted criminal in the world. She would have worn more but she was trying to save enough money to send to her folks at the end of the month and with the cut she earned, she had just enough to live on her own for a while.

As she left the bar and quickly deposited her cash at the closest ATM she could find. She pulls out a flask and opens it before pointing it's cap to the ground. "Damn... empty already huh..." Makoto mumbled as she looked around for a bit before noticing a nearby liquor store. As much as she would have liked to go back into the bar for a quick refill, it's best she didn't see the creep of an announcer who tried to make her do some other illegal stuff that was legal in Otsu.

As soon as she took a step into the liquor store, hearing the store bell ring above her head, she felt a couple of bodies quickly push up against her to slip by as she looked around quickly only to see nothing. "Why hello there Ma'am, what can I do for a fine lady such as yourself?" The clerk asked he pressed his body on the register, as Makoto walked up to him with her empty flask in hand. "Fill this up with the cheapest gin you got... and give me a couple bottles of cheap whiskey and Vokda while you're at it." Makoto replied as the clerk simply gave her a smile and did as she asked, placing two full bottles of the cheapest stuff he had.

Turning his back on Makoto to fill her flask full of Gin as she had asked, Makoto turned around and noticed a couple of small children, roughly around the age of 10 trying to shoplift a couple cartons of beer for themselves when they noticed the orange eyed squirrel looking at their direction. If this was any normal Hierarchical city, Makoto would have stopped them. In Otsu however, things were different as she simply gestured for the kids to get going. Prompting them to do so as the store bell rung while they made a break for it.

"Ah fuck... did the store just get robbed?" The cashier said as Makoto simply nods her head. The man only sighs as he reaches underneath the register and pulls out a shotgun as he storms out of the store. "HEY YOU LITTLE SHITHEADS! COME BACK HERE WITH THAT BEER!" the man yelled as he chased after them as Makoto looked around for a little bit before simply reaching into the unmanned register and smashes the cash register, taking a couple of blaybloo for herself as she took a bag containing her alcohols and flask full of gin with her.

Soon after making the slow walk towards the checkpoint to get back into the 9th hierarchical city of Akitsu-Ko, Makoto's phone begins to vibrate as she sighs when she sees the name of the caller as she picks it up after taking a deep breath. "Lieutenant Makoto Nanaya speaking, What's the matter this time Captain?" Makoto said in a cheery voice as her superior on the line simply sighed. "You know this is the fifth time I have tried to call you. Were you busy my dear?" her superior asked.


Makoto: Why of course, it's going to be new years tomorrow and I just thought I would head back home early for the night so I can spend some time with family.

Superior: Yeah... change of plans lieutenant. I need you to head to the 6th Hierarchical city of Ibukido for me

Makoto: Ibukido? What do you want me to do in Ibukido of all places?

Superior: There has been reports of Ikarugan activity in the area. As much as I would like to hand wave this off, we cannot take any risks, especially on the day of new years.

Makoto: Can't you send in someone else in my place? I am kind of busy.

Superior: I'm afraid I cannot. I need your particular set of skills for this job. Besides, I cannot go there myself. I am busy myself and simply not fit for fighting in the first place.


Makoto took a deep breath when she heard those words as she scratched her head. "If that's the case, I'll make sure to get ready and head off first thing in the morning Captain." Makoto said as she was about to hang up the phone at that exact moment before she heard a loud sigh on the phone, making her rub on her head a little. "I mean Captain Hazama." Makoto said as she couldn't help but wince saying that as Hazama cheered at that,

"Now that's the hard worker I know! I promise that you will get a big bonus for doing this for me I promise!" Hazama said before hanging up on her as she took a quick gulp of her gin to cool down. Talking to her major, Hazama in general simply infuriated her as she didn't want to have a thing to do with the man as she decided to take a small break and sit down on a bench as she stared out onto the night sky, placing her feet on the railing as she drank from her flask again.

"This sucks..." Makoto moaned as she laid her head on the bench to close her eyes for a bit. Here she was, getting forced to work on her one day to catch a break and try to hang out with close friends if they did not have anything to do at that moment as she couldn't help but look at her phone again to the groups page she made for her two closest friends, Tsubaki Yayoi and Noel Vermillion as she stared at the post she had recently made to the two, asking if they were busy and the both of them simply replying no.

"Can't meet up this year, I got assigned to work in Kagutsuchi for a while... not sure when I will be able to meet up." Noel replied as Makoto scrolled down to see what Tsubaki had to say. "I am busy too, NOL paper work is piling up so I am pulling over time to finish it in time." Tsubaki replied as Makoto sighed and took a deep breath. "It's okay guys. It's just for one year. Let's try to meet up when our schedules are free." Makoto typed before pocketing her phone and sighing at her luck.

Drinking another sip of gin, she soon decided that it was best she made her way to her temporary apartment in Akitsu-Ko where she soon rested her head on a bed and took a couple of deep breaths while drinking another sip of gin. At this point, all she wants to do is simply drink herself to sleep as she couldn't help but feel like her life was slipping. As much as she was earning money for the family and living her dream... she cannot help but feel that she was missing something in the process.

Could it be the friendships that she had established in the Academy? Her closest bonds with the group of people she had managed to befriend and keep in contact with? Or maybe it's just the fact that she couldn't help but feel like she's drifting apart from that same group and they were becoming strangers? Regardless of what she was thinking, she wanted to stop thinking as it got too painful for her... too sad for her to do so as she decided to simply close her eyes at that moment and fall into a deep sleep...


A sleep that would grant her no peace of mind whatsoever...


Makoto felt a couple of pats on her shoulder before a firm nudging. That was telling her somebody was trying to wake her up at that she should. "Come on you sleepy head, wake up already..." a voice called out for her as Makoto struggled to open her eyes. When her vision finally came to, she couldn't help but smile at the familiar sight of the academy as she sat upright on the chair she was seated on to face the person who woke her up. "Is class almost starting already?" Makoto asked the person in question simply pouted.

"Of course, why would we wake you up then?" A red haired man asked as Makoto focused her vision closely and realized who it was. "Oh come on Hunter, don't be so wound up." Makoto said as Hunter scratched his head a little before a blonde haired girl and a red haired girl joined Hunter in looking at her. "Have you been getting enough sleep lately Makoto? You look like you've been busy." The blond haired girl asked as the red haired girl sat next to Makoto and patted her in the back.

"I'm alright Noel. Just a bit tired that's all" Makoto replied as Noel couldn't help but smile at her. "What about you guys, you not tired yourselves?" Makoto asked as The red haired girl nodded her head. "Don't push yourself too hard, you need to take it easy on yourself." The red haired girl said as Makoto simply nodded her head. "Don't worry Tsubaki. I promise to do so." Makoto says to help reassure one of her closest friends as she began to look forward.

"Say, When does class start again?" Makoto asked as Noel, Tsubaki and Hunter checked their clocks respectively. "It's almost time for the first class. We should get back to our seats now." Tsubaki said as Makoto simply smiled and nodded her head as her friends proceeded to do so. As they did, Makoto couldn't help but lay her head down again, wanting to close her eyes and get a little bit more sleep before class officially started.

"You alright there? You look tired?" A voice spoke as Makoto raised her head to face the figure. As she did so, she couldn't help but close her eyes at the presence that was blinding her. She couldn't get a good look at his face, hell he looked like a faceless nobody. 'Who the hell...who on earth is this guy? What a weirdo...' Makoto thought as she raised her voice to try and shoo away the voice. "To be honest... I'm a little bit tired. Studying for the finals suck." Makoto said, causing her to suddenly realize that something was wrong.

'Wait a minute... that was not what I was thinking about... and why the hell am I speaking Japanese to this guy I don't know?' Makoto thought out as she sat back up on her seat a little. "Finals huh... to think that we would still need to do them even though we kind of save the world in the way. I guess it's the NOL's way of not showing favoritism I guess." The voice replied as Makoto felt her head nod yes towards the voice's choice of words.

"I mean that's fair, If they did just let us graduate without taking the final exam at least it would make it seem like they are desperate for new blood to join their ranks. At least this way you can say you are recruiting the best of the best." Makoto said as her inside thoughts did not match up with what her outside voice was saying. 'What are you doing me?! All you need to do is just shoo away the weirdo you're talking to and just get back to your normal life!' Her inside mind thought but as if it was a mere footnote, her outside voice continued to entertain the voice in front of her.

"The best of the best huh... I guess that's true. In any case, you going to need help with any particular exam? I can teach you the best ways to study or cheat if you want." The voice replied as Makoto nodded her head at that. "Of course, teach me everything I need to know - Sempai." Makoto said as her inner mind couldn't help but be alarmed by what she said. 'Huh?... I know this guy?' Her mind simply thought as she suddenly felt a sick feeling grow in her stomach as suddenly, her mind simply blanked out before snapping her back into reality violently.


MAKOTO POV


I couldn't help but pant several times after snapping out of that dream I had. Just what was that? What was even going on? Who was that of all people? Maybe I should cut down on the alcohol a bit but then again... Alcohol seems to be the one thing keeping me calm these days anyways. I soon reach out to grab a nice strong bottle of vokda and poured myself a shot while my mind begins to try and piece together what I had just seen.

"A faceless voice...of someone I don't remember?" Makoto commented as she drank the shot of vokda without even adding ice into it, waking her up immediately as she checked her clock real quick. "Might as well get ready for the mission I guess. I can always get more sleep on the airship anyways." I say to myself out loud as I begin to undress and get ready for work. Normally I would wear the standard issue black uniform for the NOL intelligence department but since this is a work mission, as long as I wear the coat provided, I am allowed to wear anything else underneath it if it would assist me on the mission.

And since I am heading into Ibukido and may be dealing with Ikarugans, wearing an NOL uniform underneath may not be the best idea. At least since intelligence is not seen too often, as long as I keep my distance from people and don't let them see the crest on my coat, I should be able to just blend in nicely. What I wear underneath is just a simple lightweight outfit that doesn't have too many bits that can be caught on in the middle of a battle and also allows my tail to breathe. The downside is that I've got a bit of under boob but hey, a little sex appeal doesn't hurt and besides, comfort is way more important than trying to stay modest.

As I made sure my flask is topped up with precious alcohol, I couldn't help but look at the small table I have set up for my makeup and notice a faint glimmer that made me turn and face it. On the table itself was a small silver necklace as I picked it up and looked at it for a bit. It actually looked rather intricate with carved carefully on each part of the chain to create a rune like design. Hanging on the chain is something I never could understand.

It's basically a tag of some sorts, but something about it doesn't feel...complete. Something from it is missing as it was simply a half of a dog tag. I picked it up for a bit to look at it closely. I always figured that my folks must have gotten it for me... but if they did, wouldn't they have given me the other missing half of it? I guess it must have been cheaper for them to buy a half of a full set rather than the whole thing.

"Still... they shouldn't have..." I said out loud as I slowly began to place it on the table. As soon as I tried to do so, I felt a brief pulse hit me as I saw the necklace briefly glow for a moment, catching me by surprise as I looked at the necklace closer to see if there was any kind of gem placed on it. "My eyes must be playing tricks on me...or maybe the alcohol is..." I mumbled loudly as I took a small sip of vokda before looking back at the necklace again.

I should just put this necklace down and get going already, but something is stopping me from doing so... it's not like I don't have control over my own body... but at the same time... I don't want to leave it behind... Why am I thinking of such silly things, I'm a grown woman dammit. So why...Why can't I just leave this necklace behind?! "Fine! You win!" I shouted at the necklace as I wore it and hid it underneath my cleavage where I couldn't see it.

Why am I even thinking of wearing such things on a mission like this. Hell why am I even wasting time just dilly dallying around like a deer with headlights. I've got a job to do dammit! If Noel and Tsubaki saw me like this they would definitely give me an earful right now... Here I go again thinking about them. I guess I really do want to meet up with them one of these days for a long chat. "Maybe I should try messaging them again once I finish this job." I mumbled to myself as I grabbed a pair of standard issue NOL cross tonfas that were provided to me and finally left my room.


...Ready to do this mission for Captain Hazama...


As Makoto takes off to do her duties... a figure looks out at the distance, holding onto an umbrella despite the lack of rain. "Is that the girl that Valkenhayn talked about?" The figure asked as she adjusted her headdress. "Yes Milady! That's Makoto Nanaya! The one that Valkenhayn says in his research was one of those involved in that war a few years ago." The umbrella spoke as the figure simply smiled calmly and sipped on a cup of tea. "Then let us follow her and see where this may all lead." The figure said before setting the cup of tea down on a nearby table.

"Of course, Madam Rachel!" the umbrella spoke as Rachel Alucard jumped off the building she was standing on as she gently descended towards the ground, like a character from fiction as she began to trail Makoto Nanaya. Thus the stage has been set on what will be a new story... a story never told in the annuls of time itself. For this is a story that could have never existed, a story which never had a path leading up towards it...


As the wheels of fate begin to turn... on this new timeline.


GREETINGS LOST SHEEP OF FANFICTION! HOW IS EVERYONE DOING AND IT'S BEEN A WHILE! For those who may be reading this for the first time, My name's SpeedRulerLiberation but Speed's alright. I have been writing in Fanfiction for god knows how long now and I am happy to say that I have begun a new chapter of stories that I hope will captivate everyone from this point onward.

Now some things for everyone to know. I have written stories before that you may choose to read at your own pleasure. They are complete and won't take too long to read through so if you got some time to spare and want to know more, then go ahead and read them. Otherwise, There is no need to do so since this is a brand new story and knowing everything that happened before is not exactly necessary since they will be brought up naturally as you are reading through the story.

Secondly, As you all may have noticed by the title, This story will be going through the canon timeline that was established through the games but It's going to be different. There's no need for you all to have played through the entire story line to be able to keep up with this story as certain events may change from what you are familiar with. Just how much they have changed? Well if Makoto drinking is a hint for things to come then yes, there are things that have changed from the world of Blazblue that you all are familiar with.

Finally, Characters in the games will be appearing but I am just going to let you know now that I am not going to be using every single character that appears in the game. Firstly... Blazblue has a lot of characters and they struggle to take up space for the story. Secondly, some of the characters just won't work for the story I am trying to tell. Though I can reassure you that I will bring up the important ones and make sure everyone gets enough screen time that everyone will be happy with their inclusion. So if your favorite character just happens to not appear in the story, then hope they do so sometime in the future.

So now that we have gone through the introductions... JUST WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT IN THIS NEW TIMELINE!? WHAT KIND OF MISSION IS MAKOTO BEING SENT TO BY HAZAMA!? WHY IS RACHEL INTERESTED IN MAKOTO AND FOLLOWING OUR FAVORITE SQUIRREL GIRL!? Whatever the case is... I would suggest you read on if you want to know more and welcome to the ride.
