A/N: Hey guys, this is Dave and i'm back with another chapter of 'Blazblue Advent' It tooks me some time beacuse in the series. Ragna and Makoto never got time to spent each other and Noel never spend with someone else that already in the Blazblue cast so i have to wrote it that fits their personallity and hope for the best so hope you guys understand that. I also create some scene that's in the games as well to keep it true to the lord as possible And without futher ado, Let's us begin.
Something sensible.
In the sewers, Hazama is walking, looking for something to mess with.
"I thought that i would have a more competent set of actors but it seems Ragna the Bloodegde and my other two sub-members may end up begining to take action already before the girle awoke." Hazama says as up him, some black goo start to spill up to the floor as he continhe "Well, that is interresting in its own right, but in order to fully realize the best, most abysmal scenario, i would like if i had a little more time."
Once he says that done, he opens his eyes and say "Well well, what do we have here?".
The blob then drew beneathbHazama with his mask as he ask while forming himself the NOL captian's "_ho a_e yo_?".
"Y_ k_w me? Wh_ are you? Who ar_ you? _ho? W_?" The blob kept answer.
"You dabbled in the power of the Boundary and this is the result of being swallowed up, Arakune." Hazama says while looking at the amboiantion that Arakune is.
"Az, Az, _rue. I sm_ Azur..." Arakune says, smelling Hazama's Blazblue.
"Just shy of a beast, are you? You are the perfect poece of trash to work with." Hazama says as the blob turn circles for a bit.
"G_e m_ th_ Azure!" The blob says as he charge right in but Hazama summons Barrier to block it.
"Ouroboros." Hazama comands as the metal snake chain appear from his barrier, take Arakune to the up wall of the sewer as it struggles to break free as Hazama walk closer.
"I think i will have you to serve as a delay tactic, please take care of it Phantom." Hazama says as Phantom teleports all of them to somewhere, leaving the chain to slowly dissapear.
At near the Hanging Gardens, Ragna and Makoto was walking through the stairs as the Heastkin thinks back about her now going partner.
'So he just charge right in to an NOL base and attacks it immedeatly, with the same clothes as before and the goverment already aware of his attacks a couple months ago? That's literllary the most stupid thing ever than a Child with a Foghorn.' Makoto thought of everything that Ragna did before and she wasn't angry at that. No, she was angry by the fact that even though there are a few people walking around here, the people that they able to meet along the way all gave hateful looks but only to the Beastkin, not the Grim Reaper at all.
'Alright, what the hell is going on? That's it, i'm asking him right now.' Makoto thought as they're on a staircase as she shouts once no one is there on their sight "Hey, Ragna."
"Yeah, what is it that you want?" Ragna asked, wonder what the Beastkin wants right now and the two continue walking as he thought 'If i want to get along with her, i have to treat her with courtesey. I don't want have another damn situation like the other people who i treated shit before.'
"I can't help but wonder: Why some one like you, who have one of the most eye-grabbing coats in the world, who also been put on poster wanted by the NOL, doesn't get notice at all. I mean, no offense to you, but shouldn't you at least scared a few people around here." Makoto says, surprise that no one they saw on their walking have scream out of the sight of Ragna at all.
"None taken, and the first thing that i can think of is the wanted poster that you mention." Ragna says as he remember the horrible drawing that he sees as he continue "Either they're trying to mock me more or the drawers can't draw for Jack shit at all."
Makoto giggle at this a bit as she joke "Yeah, i saw the picture at one point and at least the real thing isn't that ugly ."
That joke she make made Ragna turns toward her and give her a grin before continue on their path as she thought while still continue walking up 'At least the Grim Reaper have some humor sense.'
Meanwhile, Up in the sky, Arakune just teleport under distance of the 2.
"A, _zure, A_ure." Arakune says, sensing the Azure of Ragna as he create skeleton bones and runs to it, hoping to get some Azure.
Meanwhile, Kokonoe is looking around her table and Lambada was still in her tube, wonder what's going on out there.
"Just as expected, she's still unstable. As things stand now, she won't even be a plaything to that bastard." Kokonoe says, checking on the Lambada as she sits back amlnd continue "I'll need data to stabilize her. All right, as soon as Tager gets back here, we're doing a test run".
She spits out her stick of lollipop to the trash can and went to grab the other one, but all the papers that she puts on the table make the coffe spill all over her lab coat, make it wet now.
"I should try and stop leaving coffee around when i don't even drink the stuff." Kokonoe says as she throws her coat into Lamhada's tube, pressing the button to send her to somewhere and teleports to there as Kokonoe is getting a new coat to wear.
Lambada was now transfer to a balcony on Area 2b, land on her feet as she opens her red eye.
"Idea Link engage. Scanning... Scanning... Scanning... verify... Conclusion: I'm at the 13th Hierarchical city Kagusutchi area 2." Lambada says in a robotic tone as she turns back and continue "Detecting hostile obstatcle."
(Cue Hero from Skillet)
"I _en Az_ on _is w_." Arakune says as he climb up with his bone legs and his own solid leg as he continue " Y_s, t_ de_ Azure Sm_.".
"Danger level A, extermination." Lambada says as Arakune grabs all over her body as she struggles to get free.
"I_ _y! I wi_ _aw in_ pi_es." Arakune says as he swalloed her in his blob body as he mumers "L, _ife."
"Heavily damaged. Escape, not possible. Lambada says as she close her eyes, ready for her death until she's been pulled out by Ragna and Makoto, who were nearby her place just in time.
"What in the world are you doing, Bastard" Ragna says in anger of what he just saw.
"Yeah, swallow an entire person, that's disgusting." Makoto says in disgust of what just happen as well as they able to pull Lambada out mostly from Arakune.
"W_ a_e _ou to _t _n _y w_?" Arakune says as he eyes to the two.
"Bastard." Ragna says.
"Let her go or else, i'll put you back to where you came from, you slime monster." Makoto threatens.
"A_ure, _ure, A_re, sm_. I_ m_ _re!" Arakune says as he release a skeleton claw and slash towards Ragna and Makto as the Grim Reaper slash it away with his sword easily.
"Corona upper." Makoto says as she realse a strong uppercut with her tonfa to Arakune's chin, smash him strong enough to let go of Lambada as it stands still.
"M_ _zure, y_ _nt _et a_y w_th th_" Arakune says as Ragna and Makoto prepare to fight it as it charges with a rush attack that the two avoid with ease.
"Inferno Divider/ Squirrel power." Ragna and Makoto says uinsion as they attack Arakune with their seither punch and tonfa one respectively, which hits him hard as Arakune turns towards them and chew the two of them to spit them back out. (A/N: Yes, that's actually a thing on the games, weird.)
"That's disgusting/Eww." Ragna says in anger and Makoto cried in horror of the slime that they been put on as it charge and attack like a spider when they're off guard, succesfully damamge the two as it was about to continue attack with the same until a shot being blast on to Arakune's back, make him and the two turns to see Vulturon and a large rhino monster with drills all over his body and his right hand.
'Just how many slaves this Vulture has' Ragna thought, remember he summons diffrent people in diffrent scenarios and now, a diffrent person once again.
"Hmp, chew my friends and spits them out like that, huh?" Vulturon say in a disgust face of what he just saw as he turns to the rhino and ask "Ain't it disgusting, Tunnel Rhino?".
'Tunnel Rhino? What kind of name is that?' Makoto thought of the Vulture's creativy of names without knowing how he got the robots control.
"Yeah, horrible indeed boss and i say we should take care of this once and for all." Tunnel Rhino says as he prepare his battle stance with all his drills spining, ready to strike.
"Hmp, now that's more like it." Vulturon says as he prepare his guitar and the four charge and attack Arakune immideatly.
"H_ D_ y_! _u Al_ N_ t_ _ie" Arakune says as he charge them like a bull, which they dogde before he turns back and charge once again.
"Carnage." Ragna screams as he slash to Arakune to stop in his track in time "Scissors." Ragna create an X shape slash covered in Soul Eater around the blob.
"Corona Upper." Makoto screams as she uppercuts Arakune with full force up ahead.
"Guitar Hammer." Vulturon screams as he appears up in Arakune's level before slam him down with his guitar full force.
"Drill punch." Tunnel says as he comes in with his drill arm and spin fast, making Arakune squirms in dizzy before throws him near a sewer drainage.
"I_ _e b_k f_ _e _re a_ _ll _f y_ a_ m_ A_e" Arakune says as he dissapears through the sewers drainage, flow through the drain as it goes back to where it come from, crawl back to wherever it goes.
(End song)
"Wonder why that blob is here for, anyways?" Vulturon asked, confuse of what just happen as he commands Rhino to take a rest, which he accepts and drew back to the ground, waiting another time that the Pseuderoid will call him once again.
"I think it's beacuse of the girl." Ragna says as they turn back to saw Lambada stand up and open her yellow and white capes and a bracelet around her neck as he ask "Hey, are you okay?".
Once Lambada turns to face them, Ragna and Vulturon immideatly drew their weapons back, make Makoto look in confusion.
"Uh, you two know this girl?" Makoto asked.
"Yeah, and she attack us at that point as well." Vulturon answer, remember their previous encounter while still holding his guitar.
"So you're come agian." Ragna says while holding BloodScythe with his hands.
"Indetifined as the Azure Holder." Lambada says as they all stay there for a few minutes, seeing what to do next.
At the Alucard Mansion, Rachel was drinking her tea as usual.
"The inventable coincendece is sweet as poison do you have it in you to reach out?" Rachel says, wonder the event changers can do as of right now.
Kokonoe was typing her computer, searching for something that she needs to find as she just puts in the final command on her computer, as she laids back to see that Lambada is gone from her tube.
"Lambada." Kokonoe says as she went over the tube and look at her other coat on the floor, think that it must have hit through the buttons and sent her somewhere.
"Oh, man." Kokonoe sighs as she went back to her computer and puts back her lolipop on her mouth before continue "If i use the observation equipment in Kagutsuchi, i can search her out right now. Even from the world of outside, manipulation of this order go unnotice by the NOL."
An image pops up from her computer, which staggers a bit as she says "It's not working very well, is it the effect of sealed Ars Magus? well, it's no problem once i increase the power input."
She did just that but instead of making the screen look clearler, it staggers to the point the device blew up in a bridge somewhere.
"Gack! It blew up!" Kokonoe says as she sighs and put her head on the computer before mumble "There is one way i can find her for sure and that's temporaliry shut down the Idea Link and detect the resiudal particulates. But if i do that, there's no knowing how long it will take to restart the Idea Link. Worst, it might never work again. No! That's the one thing i can't do".
"I have no choice but to look on some other way." Kokonoe says as she types her computer for another way to find Lambada.
Back to where Lambada is, Ragna and Vulturon were still prepare for her as they grow a suspicous look on them.
"You, are you going to attack us or not?" Ragna asked as Lambada answer by looks up with her red eyes.
"You alone? Here on your boss's orders?" Vulturon asked more before the two sighs as they puts back their weapon.
"Let's go, Makoto." Ragna says, which Makoto nods at this as they along with Vulturon walk past Lambada and walk through the staircase.
'This is getting on my damn nerves. They keep appearing one with another with the same face.' Ragna thought as he turns back to saw Lambada was kneeling on the ground.
"What's going on?" Ragna says, which makes Vulturon and Makoto turn to saw it as well, the three runs down (A/n: In case of Vulturon, hopping) towards Lambada, wonder what happend to Lambada.
"Hey!" Ragna says once he and the others get close to Lambada as she turns towards them, showing a bug struggle to walk on two legs, making the others confuse.
"Huh/That's it?/Thankgod." The three says in unsion of what they saw in a mixture of confuse and relief.
"This'll work! This is going to work! I'll hack into the security system of the NOL's Kagutsuchi branch and get it to search for data that's match for Lambada." Kokonoe says as she starts to hack the NOL's computer system as she says while destroy every lock in it's system "This is way to easy, NOL! These defenses are easier than taking a candy from a baby! I'll just strip you a bare."
"Alright, now i just convert the interface to Ars Magus, onve i get inside the mainframe..." Kokonoe says as she decode the final lock before being blackout completly, making all her work for nothing.
"What?" Kokonoe gasped as she teies to type it to convert back to normla but when no respone came from ut, she says while flipping all the paper out "The mainframe is down, what the Hell is Going on, NOL?".
The bug that Lambada found was waddling weakly as Lambada examine it.
"Searching...Searching...Searching...Searching complete" Lambada says as she puts a finger on the Bug's head and explain "Phylum Mollusca. Class Gastropoda. Tartar. Male."
"That bastard must drop him." Ragna says as everyone around him looks at him before explain "I heard a rumor that Arakune keeps lots of instect in his body."
"That's an interresting rumor there, mate." Vulturon says, trying to make the situation less weird as Ragna looks around to see someone relate to Lambada but can't find any.
"So, basically you're lost." Ragna concludes.
"It seems like it, Ragna." Makoto says, trying to remember where she first saw Lambada that gives her a familliar Aura.
" Phylum Mollusca. Class Gastropoda. Tartar. Lost." Lambada says, wonder if he meant by the Tartar.
"No, i meant you." Ragna says as Lambada turns towards him, making the Grim Repear sighs at the look while putting his right hand onto his forehead as he ask "Uh, what's your name?".
Lambada stands up as she says "Request permission."
The place stay quiet for a minute as Ragna asked "So you can't do anything without orders from your boss?".
"Holder of the Azure of Grimoire and others, who are you?" Lambada ask as she turns to them.
"But you want to know our names, huh?" Ragna ask in a cocky face as Lamada answer by staring for a few seconds, which makes the SS criminal turns back and answer "Ragna the Bloodegde."
"Vulturon the Condoroid." Vulturon answer his part.
"Makoto Nanaya." Makoto answer her part as well.
"Rag-na, Vul-tu-ron, Ma-ko-to. Ra-gna, Vu-ltu-ron. Ra-g-na." Lambada says as Ragna looks down for a bit before Lambada says while hold his arm with her own "Ragna."
Ragna turns to her and stare for a few second before say "I'm not treating you into a meal."
"I don't think that's why she hold your arm for, Ragna." Makoto says, unknown of her jealous inside her body from a girl holding on to Ragna.
"Yeah, and besides, we got a little guy to take care of." Vulturon says while pointing to the wobbling Tartar.
"The observation equipment was a no-go. The NOL's security system is also down right now..." Kokonoe says while thinking of how to find Lambada as she conclhde "Guess, i have to ask a favor."
Ragna, Lambada, Vulturon and Makoto was walking towards the upper parts of the staircase. Makoto was holding the tartar on her hand as they walk.
"Maybe she's lost, but where am i supposed to take her? I swear, why do i have to be babysitting her with a few others?" Ragna says to himself as they reach to the uper floor as he thought 'So, she's a prime field too. A target to be destroyed...'
"What's wrong?" Ragna ask once he saw Lambada on the floor as he, along with Vulturon and Makoto run towards her as they saw Lambada lying down, looking at the Tartar stuggle to stand still as he ask "What's wrong?".
"Heart rate: Dropping." Lambada answer as the Tartar now on his back, struggle to move.
"Oh, so that's why." Vulturon says as he grabs a stick nearby and throw it to Ragna, the later catch it quickly and use it to hold the male bug up, examing a purple scratch on its right body.
"So he was hurt and start to die, but not die to injury, it must have beacuse he's been away from his host body." Ragna says, knowing that felling as well.
"Wait, you mean tell me that disgusting thing can take care of those bugs inside of him all that well?" Makoto asked in digust of something horrible like Arakune can make tons of bugs surive on him.
"Yeah, even though Arakune looks disgusting, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't hold any fluids or nutritions on him." Vulturon answer.
"Yeah and whether to one of them, this little guy lives by sharing those thing with that bastard." Ragna says as the bug suddenly unconsious, making all of them worried as Ragna asked "Did he just die?".
The Tartar answer by still struggle a bit as Ragna says "He's pretty tenacious."
The Grim Reaper then gives the stick to Vulturon, which he accepts it as Ragna says "I guess there's no helping it and Vulturon, stay there. I'm going to find something for the little guy."
"Got it, Rags." Vulturon says as Ragna went to grassy area, which soon followed by Makoto and Lambada as Ragna search through the grass, searching for something as he goes on and Makoto and Lambada soon burried through the grass, wonder what he's looking for.
"Wait, don't go pick random things. I'm looking for an aqualeaf." Ragna says as he turns to the two.
"Wait, an aqualeaf?" Makoto asked, wonder what that thing is.
"Aqualeaf... Scanning... Scanning... Scanning... Scanning complete. Family asterance. A perenial of the Genus Aquafolia. The substance its rhinomizes secrete has antimicrobial and an alegsic propoties." Lambada answer.
"So, basically it's medical herb, right?" Makoto ask, combine all the detail that Lamada told her about.
"Yeah, and that's the idea, Makoto." Ragna says as he looks at another patch of grass as he explain "When i was training with my master, we didn't have any medicine with us, so we hunted for magical herbs in the forest for a daily basis. In particular, this place hasn't been ravaged by seithr, so we should find an aqualeaf under good condition..."
Ragna stops when he heard rustle from Lambada as he and Makoto make way to her as they see what their looking for, Ragna says "And there it is."
Kokonoe, meanwhile is calling Tager as she clears her throat before the call being answered by the Red Devil.
"This is Tager, what is it Kokonoe?" Tager ask of his boss call to him.
"Sorry, but i lost Lambada." Kokonoe says as she blinks her gold eye before continue "Find her for me, Tager. I don't want to lose Lambada's Idea engie, i need it to defeat Terumi."
"Roger that, leave it to me, Kokonoe." Tager says as he close his call, making Lambada sighs about her stupid mistake.
Ragna, Makoto and Lambada walk to see Vulturon on a 2 bench area with Skiver watching the bug as well.
"Hey, we're back." Ragna says, which grabs the antention to the two.
"Hey Rags, found what you're looking for yet?" Vulturon asked as Ragna nods at this.
"Nice to see you again, Ragna." The Skiver bows before look at Lambada and ask "And you must be the one who attack my boss a while ago, right?"
"Yeah, she is." Vulturon answer him as the Skiver examine her for abit, seeing if what his boss said to him is true or not.
'Well, she isn't doing anything bad so i can give her a pass' The Skiver thought as he turn to Makoto and ask "And you are...?"
"Makoto Nanaya." Makoto answer, which make the pegasus thought of whether introduce himself or not before decides to do it.
"Spiral Pegasus, but you can call me the Skiver if you want." The Skiver introduce as Ragna grabs a bit of goo of the Aqualeaf they find a while ago, take some of it eccense and touch it on the Tartar's wound, healing it effecienly.
"Ew! Gross!" Ragna says in disgust once he treats the wound done.
"Why?" Lambada asked, which makes Ragna look towards her as she explain "Tartar males are rale. So you keep him alive?".
"You're asking me why i helped him?" Ragna ask as he answer "Well, i just keep something that's alive now keep on living. No matter you're human or not, you'll die someday but that doesn't mean you have to die quietly. You fight tooth and nail, and if there's nothing you can do to yourself, it's okay if you get help from someone else."
"Yeah, or else, you will die quietly where no one will know of your disaperance of the living realm once and for all." Vulturon says, remember how he left the Living realm from his world without leaving a mark to make people remember him before giving another chance to live on this one years ago.
"That's sound sad." Makoto says, trying to keep everything that Ragna and Vulturon said about death.
"Yeah, it is and i know how that fells." Spiral says as he make a fist on his hand of sadness before continue "Beacuse i died once before hand."
"Wait, really?" Makoto asked, horor that someone face through this situation before hand.
"Yeah, in fact.." Spiral says as he turn to Vulturon and explain "Boss's members are all death reploids that he able to necromancy us with a body make from trash."
"R-really?" Makoto asked in shock, which makes Vulturon nod at this.
"Yeah and as for how: It's beacuse of the fact that i can necromancy anyone that i want for a time, at least when i have a piece of the soul of that person that i able to necromancy into but without it, i can't do it at all." Vulturon explain.
"So that's how you able to summon diffrent creatures to aid you." Ragna says, remember how the Vulture able to summon 5 diffrent Mavericks in hand now.
"Yup." Vulturon says as he strums his guitar for a bit of music while still holding the Tartar with the stick on his mouth.
Ragna turns his face away for a bit, before feel a contact through his right hand and turn to saw Lambada, who aksed "Ragna had help?".
The scene stays quiet for a while as Ragna steps away from her before answer with memories of how Rachel saves him and Jubei taught him through his mind "Yeah, i got help. That's how i feel right now."
Ragna sits on one of the chairs as the grimoire on Ragna's right arm shine, making the Grim Reaper struggle to keep it in place while everyone else worried about it as Lambada pass the Aqualeaf to him.
"Like hell that's going to work." Ragna says as he uses the leaf of the Aqualeaf to make a grass flute while Vulturon and Makoto sits on the other seat, the former letting the Tartar walk on his own next to Ragna and the latter look with worried as the Grim Reaper plays it calmly, followed soon by Vulturon strums his guitar a peaceful melody that he able to learn besides his usual rock and roll antics.
"Aww, that sound peaceful and relaxing." Makoto says cheery, back to the usual go happy emotion that she always wear as she and Pegasus enjoyed the pieceful music that Ragna and Vulturon make with their own music instrument for a few minutes of a peaceful moment as Lambada watches Ragna play the grass flute with melody as Lambada stares at the remain Aqualeaf, which being dry at all as she walk back and forth around Ragna.
"Here" Ragna says, giving Lambada the flute as the two sitch place as Lambada tries to blow it, but blow it too hard that it sounds like a ruffle than music alot while Ragna walk around her.
"You're blowing too hard." Ragna says as he continue while Lambada looks up at him "Try to be more gentle here."
"Gentle?" Lambada asked, wonder what the Grim Reaper talking about.
"You don't understand? Uh, well..." Ragna says as he leans his head abit with a worried face and ask "How do i
explain this?".
Lambada soon follows his head, which makes the Grim Reaper earn a smile on his lips before say "You're a weird one."
"One." Lambada repeats the last part as she looks down before say "Lambada".
"So you're called Lambada, huh?" Ragna ask, which Lambada nod at this.
"What a weird name, consider it's a greek number for eleven." Makoto says, which make Spiral nod at this.
"Make sense, after all it seems that all Muramuko unit been called a greek number due to the other ones have the name of Mu and Nu." Vulturon says, rememner the conservation between Noel and Nu while still strums his guitar peacefully.
"I see, wonder if Noel know about this." Makoto says, remember that Noel's actual form is a Murakumo unit, which Vulturon shake his head at that as the wind blew rough as a couple of minutes pass, everyone still at the same place, Ragna look at life with a smile on his face as Lambada hugs his right arm with both hers.
"Hey..." Ragna gasped, wonder what the Muramuko thinking as the other turn to see this with a confuse face.
"Warm." Lambada says while smilling as everyone else shrugs it out and enjoy a pieceful as Lambada suddenly bore a worried face.
"Heart rating. Dropping. Dropping. Dropping." Lambada says as she turns to the Tartar, which no longer moves and instead of an oragne belly, it has a gray one as Lambada move close to it and say "Pulse has ceased. Male tartar, all life-supporting fuctionality has ceased. Deceased. Course of action."
"You don't have to do anything." Ragna says in his usual face as Lambad shakes her head, which makes the Grim Reaper stand up and advise "Then, remember him until you forget and if that happens naturally, remember him and the fact that he was alive and keep that menory in a corner of your soul. That's enough."
"Yeah, and whatever you do, don't let it be a downfall to you. Instead, use that as moviation to continue on your life." Vulturon says, remember the time he took that advice from himself to the other siblings that are gone.
"And remember this or not, you will forget yourself sooner or later." Spiral says, remember the time before his death eventually come, he lost the Repliforce and Colonel and Iris, the people he hold close to in heart.
"Alright, i'll remember that for a near future and stay optomistic about life as it goes on." Makoto says, ready herself if one of her friends will sooner or later go to the other side if she can't able to protect them in time.
"Soul, where is it?" Lambada asked.
"Who knows. Maybe it's in your head, maybe it's deep inside your heart. I don't know where is it, bu it's the spot that gets warm when something happy happens and the spot that gets close when something painfull happens." Ragna answer as later on, the tartar was placing on a rock with leafs covered it as everyone who was present look at this with a sad face.
"This is what it likes to be gentle." Ragna says as the rest looks sad at the departure of a little being as on one of the higher levels, Tager was there, able to find Lambada.
"Kokonoe, i have a confirmed sighting of Lambada, but again..." Tager inform his boss.
"Ragna the Bloodegde, huh?" Kokonoe asked, wonder what makes him stay quiet for a bit.
"Mm, but also our NOL contact and two beastman here as well." Tager answer.
"Like calls to like, huh?" Kokonoe says at this, as she reach her comunication towards the group, saying "Hey, Ragna the Bloodedge and Squirrel girl."
Everyone was shocked by a sudden voice as they all look up to see the red Devil there.
"Red Devil." Ragna says as Tager puts both his hand together, creating an energy magnet which drags Lambada to the Devil's right arm.
"It seems like you four have been taking care of Lambada for me." Kokonoe says, which earns a hate look on Ragna's face as he ask "What the hell ia that thing you call Lambada?! Is it what i think it is?".
"I built Lambada by taking the 11th Prime Field and salvaging the soul from the 13th Prime Field. A living being, if you will and i'm going to defeat Terumi by using her." Kokonoe answer.
"Terumi is someone i..." Ragna says as Kokonoe interrupts while teleporting Lambada towards the lab "Impossible! With your Azure Grimore, you will never win against him. Tager, go and find Noel Vermillion".
"Noel? What the hell do you people want to do with Noel?" Ragna asked, wonder why the Sector Seven just want a girl from the NOL for.
"Terumi has his sights on Noel Vermillion, she must be brought into protective custody before then." Kokonoe answer at this as Ragna growls a bit before remember where Noel could been so he turns up and say "I think i know where Noel is."
"You do and if so, where?" Kokonoe ask.
"Hey Tager, remember the other guy i fought alongside with against you the other day?" Ragna asked, which earns a nod from the Devil.
"Is it the one that with red horn and have a snout like a kangaroo?" Tager asked which Ragna nods at this and Vulturon open wide eyes as he guess one person who fit this the most.
"Wait, you mean that you and my Brother fight against Tager before? and if so, when?" Vulturon ask.
"Yeah, i did and remember that explosion that we both saw a while ago?" Ragna says, which earns a nod from Vulturon to his answer as he say "That beacuse that explosion is actually the battle between of Tager and Buckfire at that point."
"I see." Vulturon says, understand what he meant as he say "But if you want to get my brother to cooperative to you two then you gonna need my help from it as fast as possible."
"And why's that? Can we just talk them out is enough." Kokonoe ask.
"Noel, maybe but Buckfire can't beacuse he doesn't trust anyone who just attack him out of nowhere so call someone who knows him peacefully so that he can go there." Ragna answer, remember how he doesn't get along and furious towards people who he have a bad taste on before.
"I see and can you help me from it?" Kokonoe says, turning to Vulturon.
"Sure i can. But better not use this one to create something dangerous, you got it." Vulturon says, ready to tear the Pink haired Beastkin up if have to.
"Don't worry, i will and get to the location point there, Tager." Kokonoe says as she cuts through her communication and gives Tager the place to tell the two to meet at as Tager dissapear from the group.
"I'll be go right now and contact the others, so see you guys later." Vulturon says as he take flight with Spiral while Ragna and Makoto were still standing there, wonder what to do next as the Reaper turn towards to the dead Tartar.
"What is my soul saying?" Ragna ask himself as memories of Saya, Nu, Lambada and Noel appeared on his head as he continue "Just letting somone that's alive keep on living."
Ragna then realize something as he talk while closing his eyes ans a warm smile "I'm one to talk when i'm the one who's been destroy everything but maybe there's another way to protect."
"Yeah, and i'll help you find that way, Ragna." Makoto says as she and Ragna leaves the area for the NOL base, ready for anything that comes in their path.
In the same place from before, Buckfire and Noel were still sit there, enjoying the peaceful area of this place while Noel is still crying about yesterday.
"Are you calmer now, Noel?" Buckfire ask, hoping that his friend is calm now.
"Yeah, i am now." Noel says while sniffling as she thought back of before and says "Buckfire, i don't think i can leave Tsubaki alone."
"I know, but due to how situations are now, we can't do it at all until time comes so wait till then." Buckfire says, knowing this is not the right time to think about it.
"Okay, i'll wait till then." Noel says as she looks down in depress, Buckfire attempt to cheer her up but he recieve signal thoughts from someone he knows.
'Brother, are you still with Noel or not?' His youngest brother asked on his mind.
'Yeah, she still with me, something wrong? And why are you calling me through mind instead of the usual phone call?' Buckfire says, wonder why he's calling him through mind, instead of through their phones.
'I talk to someone a while ago, and you should meet that person for protecsion for both of you. And for the other, i don't want to dissapoint her much further from before so i call you from this line instead.' Vulturon says, remember Noel was forfefully battle one of her friends.
'I understand, where is the location at' Buckfire says, wonder where they will meet up at.
'Head to Area 28 and you'll be able to see your contact sooner or later.' Vulturon says as Buckfire nods at this.
"Um, Buckfire are you alright?" Noel asked, wonder of her friend is still there or not as he snaps back from the talk he just had with Vulturon.
"Yeah, i'm fine." Buckfire answer, trying to cover the conservation in his head before hand as he continue while standing up "Now, let's go. We can't let Terumi or Hazama depends on what you like to call him get to us, or else things may gone worse for us."
"You're right, that sounds horrible indeed." Noel says as she stand up with a hold on Buckfire's right arm, which make the Gaxelloid blush by this as she ask "So, where we going?".
"We should get somewhere safety in case of things get worse." Buckfire says as he and Noel walking away from the place, walk to the location that his little brother and hope the worst doesn't come at all.
Somewhere around here as well, Hakumen is walking around the unexplore part of the Hanging Gardens, enjoying the scene of Nature as he walk, free of Kokonoe's hands from Rachel's help.
"So, there's places like this exist in Kagusutchi, huh?" Hakumen answer himself while enjoying the surrondings, something he never got a chance to do beacuse of the fact that he's been trapped in the Boundary for an century.
"I'm sorry, but this place isn't allow to trespass, i suggest you leave now." an familliar voice can be heard around bere, making Hakumen shock of what he just heard.
"I-is that voice." Hakumen says, recognize who that voice is as the person he think of walks close to him has appear: Tsubaki, Hakumen's lover from another timeline and his former shell's friend but sacerfice herself in that timeline, making Hakumen to go time travel a lot to help her.
"Did you hear now? you have to leave now. If you don't leave on your own, in the name of the Libarium, i will have to use force." Tsubaki says, she unaware who Hakumen really is as Hakumen didn't say anything at all nor he move at the look of his friend from this timeline.
"Do you not hear me? It seems like you have a weapon... Who are you?" Tsubaki asked, wonder by the knight's aura around him as he still doesn't anything, making Tsubaki shout angry "Answer me! This is your last warning!".
"I am ...Hakumen." Hakumen introduce once he snaps back from his thought.
"Hakumen? Ah no, but that can't... well he does look like him..." Tsubaki says to herself in shock of his pressence as she says to Hakumen once her mind was clear "Wait... How are you still here? You are still alive."
"Indded i am and let me ask you something: Do you belong to the Libarium?" Hakumen says, wonder if this one same with his old one.
"Huh? Oh! Ah, yes! My name is Tsubaki Yaoi, First Lieutenant on NOL Zero Squadron." Tsubaki says rather fastly of the sight of her idol.
"Calm yourself, Yaoi." Hakumen advise, which Tsubaki can't do that beacuse of the shock.
"I'm sorry. Are you Hakumen of the six heroes?" Tsubaki asked, wonder if this person is the same as the folklore.
"Calm down, First Lieutenant Yaoi and yes, i am Hakumen." Hakumen answer.
"Please excuse my ishelent behavior." Tsubaki Apologize.
"You have nothing to apologize for. You were doing what you were instructed, anyways." Hakumen says.
"Oh, of course. Sir Hakumen, what's bring you here?" Tsubaki asked, wonder why her idol is here.
"You've been here before." Tsubaki says
"Yes, a very long time ago." Hakumen says
"There is a certain task that i must complete. In my pursuit, that leads me here." Hakumen answer.
"A task? If you have buisness with the Libranium, would you like me to escort you to them?" Tsubaki asked.
"Your offer is very much appricated, but unfortunatley, this has nothing to do with the Libranium. I have simply become lost, i haven't been here for a long time." Hakumen answer, lied about Libranium and honest about the fact he hasn't been here for a long time.
"You've been here before" Tsubaki says.
"Yes, a long time ago." Hakumen says as he continue "First Lieutenant Yaoi."
"Call me Tsubaki." Tsubaki says.
"First Lieutenant Tsubaki then.. I apologize for such an odd request, but might i see your face?" Hakumen ask, wonder if she doesn't mind this or not.
"Huh? Um, sure.." Tsubaki says as she kneels down with her hand on her hat as Hakumen touch her face, making Tsubaki blush at the sight of her idol touching her.
"First Lieutenant Tsubaki... That Ars magus is the Izayoi, is it not?" Hakumen answer, wonder if what she's carrying is the weapon itself.
"Ah, um, yes, it is the ars Magus Izayoi itself." Tsubaki answer.
"That is a vile weapon. I heard nany tales of its power during the Great War, byt those who wield it it never have an pleasent end." Hakumen says, knowing the full strengh of it (A/N: Since everything here is the same, i'll provide you a link to know the next part of it, it's way too long for me to write it.)

And the talk kept on ever since, from Hakumen telling his story about his time before he became what he is today to their goodbye to each other, unaware of Bifrost watching them from a forest nearby the Hanging Gardens.
"Hmp, the blinder and her idol meet each other and talk for a bit, unaware of the fact that she's support the enemy while her idiol go against it, interresting." Bifrost says as he felt air coming towards his face as he looks up to saw Vulturon coming towards him with Pegasus as he ask "Any buisness that you come here or not, brother?"
"Yeah." Vulturon answer once he land as he continue "You need to get over to the NOL headquarters and stop whatever going on through there and help people in whatever situation that they been dealt with in hand if necesscray for what's to come."
"I understand and what about you? Where are you going?" Bifrost ask.
"I got some place to visit so see you later, Brother." Vulturon answer as he take his leave to Litchi's clinic, checking on Lena as Bifrost slowly make his way to the NOL base, ready himself to do what his brother told him to.
At the Imperiator's bed, Hazama and Phantom stands there as the former says "Now, The time of awakening is here."
The imperiator is sleeping peacefully as she opens her red eye up.
"Now, let's get down to buisness, Hazama." The imperiator says as she gets up from her bed, prepare for their opperation.
A/N: And that will be the end of the chapter, guys. Honestly, it's one of the okay in my thoughts chapter that i wrote and sorry if i happen to write something not out of reach here, but i never face something like this before. I also decide to include a game scene beacuse it's a game series we're talking about so have some is better than nothing. Going in, I know that this one is mostly going to be sad due to emotional moments of death that came between the two series, i even cry a bit while writting this so hope you enjoy it. If you guys wonder why i put the title of the chapter something not relate to the series, that's beacuse the scenery and the felling of this one fells like a certain level of one of my favorite game so i think put a chapter like this is suittable in my opinon and if you guys guess which game is that, congrats to you for it. Anyways, See you guys later!
