Canon 8
Previously on Canon Distortion...
The mystery of Sora Minakaze had been uncovered for Makoto Nanaya. The truth about Makoto forgetting about Sora Minakaze has been made clear. A being of higher power had erased everyone's memories about the man despite Rachel Alucard hearing rumors about him still being alive. Now armed with this knowledge, Makoto Nanaya is ready to fight for her place in the world once again... her own world.
And Now... The Canon Continues...
Makoto was panting, panting hard at the fight that was placed in front of her. In front of her was a copy of Sora Minakaze that was somehow created, mirroring the way he looked during the Academy as it fought like how he would, brandishing a blood red dagger as he charged right for her, thrusting forward while looking like he was gliding in the air. Even if she was fighting a fake version of the man she loved, it was still a difficult task the world was asking her to do.
'Yeah... Just casually fight against the man who fought against a black looking thing to end the Black War. Not a big deal at all!' Makoto complained inside as she knew this was the version of the man she had to get through if she wanted to have any hope of getting back home. As she raised her fist to intercept one of the fake Sora's stabs, Rachel cannot help but keep on looking at the sight that was in front of her, specifically at the fake Sora Minakaze that Makoto was fighting right now.
"So this is the mysterious Event Error we have been looking for?" Nago said as he floated next to Rachel. "Yes... but what he looked like two years ago. His appearance may have changed over that period of time so he may not look like this right now." Rachel explained as Gil made himself a comfortable chair for her to sit on. "But still, better to know what he looked like two years ago rather than not at all." Gil answered as Rachel smiled before quietly silencing herself once again and observing quietly like the observer she was.
As Rachel did that, Makoto felt the imaginary red blade nick her at the cheek, causing blood to be drawn as she tched at that. 'So it may be a fake but the damage is real... that's great.' Makoto thought as the fake Sora began to project from his stump a huge mass of energy that she could feel hit her through her chest and something deep inside. A huge mass of energy that she always understood was being Sora's drive as a fake arm manifested over where his real left arm was.
'In that case, How do you like this!' Makoto thought as she thrust her fist rapidly, landing a punch right at the Fake Sora's stomach as he went flying towards the ground, quickly recovering as he dashed forward only to immediately appear in front of her, as if the fake even knew how to use his drive. 'Geez, talk about making a near perfect clone... if this was the old me, I would be shitting myself right now.' Makoto thought as she was glad that she was not the old her at that moment as she tightened her fists.
The Fake Sora began to thrust his knife several times right for Makoto's vitals, as if he was the real one who didn't hesitate to throw life threatening strikes towards his loved one to test her resolve and make sure she was ready for the trials ahead. Seeing that it was coming from the right arm, Makoto prepared herself to intercept one of the fake's stabs, weaving to the side as she grabbed the fake's arm hard before kicking it roughly, breaking it's grasp over the blade and allowing her to deliver a powerful punch right at the fake's face, sending it flying towards the wall.
"You know... If you are going to pretend being the real Sora, you've got to do a lot better than that!" Makoto yelled as she gestured with her fingers, unfazed by the attacks being thrown at her at that moment. The Fake Sora got himself off the wall and cracked it's neck several times as he stretched his right arm a few times to ensure the damage Makoto did was minimal before charging towards her once again, ignoring the usage of it's knife as he jabbed quickly, trying to throw her off in the process.
Makoto however was prepared for the nonsense being thrown in front of her, having seen it play out in her mind several times as she weaved her head left and right to dodge the attacks being thrown at her. She was too ready for the attacks being thrown at her, unfazed by the barrage of blows the fake was throwing as they lacked the impact the real one would have had. Even it's astral arm paled in comparison as she thrust her palms out, striking the fake right at it's shoulders to stop it's constant attacking.
"And unlike the old me... the old tricks that the Old Sora would have done won't work on me! So it's about damn time we ended this!" Makoto yelled as her fist began to charge up with energy, allowing her to feel the seithr flow around her fists. It must be because of Relius's tampering, but now that she could feel her soul screaming out of her body, it's like she's following the rhythm of her heart with her two fists and they were beginning to form a smooth tempo in the process.
As she threw a left, she could feel her right fist tension and ready itself for the next punch. As she allowed her right to flow, her left had returned to being rested and ready for another punch itself. Her breathing was now following a pattern. With every left punch, she would breathe in ever so lightly. With every right punch, she would exhale out. Her whole body was running as one as her fists were landing true to the Sora clone that was in front of with ease.
"It's time to end this!" Makoto screamed as she began to charge her fist with Seithr, creating a huge ars magus seal behind her as she lunged forward, gut punching the fake Sora at his stomach into the air while seithr continued to build within her fist. As he soared in the air, the seithr continued to build and Makoto felt every single inch of it as she got ready to throw her fist. "BIG BANG SMASH!" With a loud yell, Makoto threw her whole weight behind the punch, sending a massive astral fist right into the fake Sora and made him fly right into the walls of the structure she was in, causing dust to kick up as Makoto panted heavily, having expended more energy she had expected.
"YOU... YOU WANT SOME MORE HUH! HUH!" Makoto yelled, puffing her chest out a bit as the fake slumped on the wall, slowly turning itself to seithr as it looked at Makoto in the face before giving a bit of a soft smile. "You pass Miss Nanaya..." the fake said, vanishing in the process as the seithr flowed right into Makoto's face, hitting her in the eyes as she slowly blacked out in the process against her will, collapsing to the ground as Rachel walked up to the unconscious girl.
"So that's it huh... The Makoto Nanaya we were talking to has now returned back to her timeline?" Gil replied as Rachel nodded her head. "Yes... let us follow suit. We have observed all there is needed to be observed in this timeline... we must make sure that the girl is guided to her next path." Rachel explained as soon, there was no trace of the gothic lolita girl as on the ground lied this world's Makoto Nanaya, oblivious to the adventure she had gone through...
As Makoto Nanaya returned...back to reality
Makoto felt so refreshed... as if she had been sleeping for a while. "I need a drink..." Makoto said as her body reached out for some sort of hydration to keep her body hydrated. As soon as her hand felt the familiar metal of a flask, she pulled it closer towards her and opened it, drinking and savoring the taste of alcohol that dripped into her lips as she realized what she was drinking at that moment, Opening her eyes as wide as they could as she sat up and took a couple of deep breathes.
"I'm...back?" Makoto asked herself as she quickly reached out for her work phone, pulling it out and seeing the messages that Hazama had sent her, detailing the objective she was originally sent for, which was to collect data as to why there were strange readings coming out from the ruins of Ibukido. She couldn't help but start crying... not because it was a message from her shitty boss but she was back...she was back at her timeline.
"Sora!?.." Makoto looked around for a bit, her mind briefly wondering if the white haired man was anywhere to be seen. "If you are looking for him, then I must be the bearer of bad news. You will not find him here." Rachel said, spooking Makoto as she looked at the girl with some surprise in her eyes. "You got to stop surprising people like that Rachel. I mean it must be nice and all teleporting here and there, but think of us normies please." Makoto replied as Rachel chuckled.
"I apologize for surprising you...AHEM... normie. But I figured that a surprise is something you will need to wake up." Rachel explained as Makoto couldn't help but look at her weirdly when she said that. "And you don't think that me being surrounded by stuff that I would recognize and being able to drink my alcohol again would not be surprise enough?" Makoto asked as she took another sip of alcohol to cool down her nerves.
"That is true..." Rachel explained as many questions ran right through Makoto's mind. Just how on earth did she end up in that alternate reality in the first place? How long has passed since she was back at her reality? How did she still retain all of the memories of the adventures she had gone through. But finally, her mind settled down on one question that she needed answering. "Rachel... I need to know... How do you know about Sora? You've gotten me back here, so I at least deserve to know how you got to know him." Makoto questioned as Rachel took a deep breath, knowing that question was coming up.
"Remember when I said that the world has forgotten about Sora Minakaze? How his existence was erased from the world?" Rachel explained as Makoto nodded her head. "Well... Mr Minakaze interestingly has only one location where memories of him were not affected by the god in any manner... and that is the First Free Hierarchical city of Otsu." Rachel explained as Makoto couldn't help but widen her eyes hearing that.
The First Free Hierarchical city of Otsu... a city that Makoto was very familiar with. "So you're telling me, this god had the ability to influence everyone in the world and their memories... but for some reason skipped over the city where Criminals are free to do whatever they wish?.. talk about selective much." Makoto commented as Rachel nodded her head. "I understand that you would find that strange, I do too... But you must be at least glad that you have a location to start your search at." Rachel said as Makoto thought about what Rachel said and nodded her head.
"I guess when you say it like that, that's a good thing. It gives me a start at least. But it may not be enough to go by since Sora would be most likely moving around all over the place. I may need to rely on other means to hopefully find the guy." Makoto said, her mind turning towards the thought of the means of contact that Kokonoe gave her to contact when she finally got back home. "Still... It's good to know that there's one place in the world where Sora still exists...at least." Makoto said in relief as she drank her alcohol to that.
"Still... How on Earth did I end up in a timeline like that in the first place?" Makoto asked out loud, musing Rachel as she looked at the squirrel girl with interest. "Do you want to know?" Rachel asked as Makoto looked at her in surprise. "Wait. You know why?" Makoto asked as she hesitated a little to get that question answered. "Is it going to be something crazy like souls and phenomena intervention again?" Makoto questioned as Rachel chuckled.
"It can be much simpler if you want, after all, the answer is here after all." Rachel said as Makoto couldn't believe what she was hearing. The answer to the question she was looking for was actually in the room, that sounds unbelievable. "In that case, show it to me! I need to know how I got sent to that world in the first place! I kind of need to thank them for giving me the chance to regain my memories of Sora in the first place." Makoto said, scratching her head as Rachel took a small deep breath.
"Take a look underneath that coffin." Rachel said, pointing her finger towards a row of coffins laid out in various ways, her finger specifically choosing the one that remain standing as Makoto couldn't help but gulp at that. Her answer lied within a series of coffins... that wasn't bizarre or strange at all. Makoto wanted to make a witty remark to help calm her nerves but knew that was unnecessary and that she should just get to it right now.
Her hands gripped tightly on the edges of the coffin, ready to reveal what was underneath as she took a couple of deep breathes. Without even hesitating to do so, Makoto ripped the lid off it's base and soon gasped in shock and horror at what was inside. She couldn't help but process what she was looking at as all of the words that came out of her mouth were that of shock and horror, followed with uncontrolled stuttering as she shook her head.
"No... there's no way..." Makoto stuttered in disbelief as her eyes locked at the sight of a woman that looked like Noel Vermillion, one of her closest friends as she looked at Rachel Alucard, her eyes demanding questions. "That...Miss Nanaya... is a copy of one of your friends, Noel Vermillion, a failed copy made by Relius Clover himself." Rachel said as Makoto looked back at the copy with a stunned look on her face, unable to believe what she was seeing.
"You're saying... He...made...!?" as Makoto was about to finish her sentence, she quickly rushed up to one of the consoles that she used before and quickly checked the data to confirm Rachel's statement, confirming it by comparing the face of the girl in the coffin with the image on the screen. "But...But why!? Why would he make so many girls to make Noel!?" Makoto demanded as Rachel took a small breath and shook her head.
"I do not know myself... you may have to ask him yourself. Though I must ask... what are you going to do now?" Rachel questioned as Makoto took a bit of a quiet pause herself as she knew what Rachel was talking about. Truth after truth has been revealed to her, truths of the world that should be kept hidden away now in her hands. She had all the information in the world that she could work with and now she needed to decide what she has to do at that very moment. Taking a swig of alcohol, Makoto looked towards the horizon that was exposed to her.
"I am going to fight like hell for my friends... even if it means fighting against the world itself." Makoto said, making Rachel smile as she nodded her head. "There's that moxie coming out from you again, I do look forward to seeing where you go from here." Rachel said as Makoto turned around to say thanks to the gothic lolita but she was already gone, making Makoto smirk as she scratched her head and looked back at the row of coffins, bowing down in respect before resealing the lid on one of the failed Noel clones as her head felt a gentle pulse of warmth, making her smile as she made her way out of the fallen NOL base.
As she did so, the signal was starting to become more clear for her as her phone began to vibrate as she answered it without thinking. "Oh there you are Miss Nanaya! I am glad I finally managed to get into contact with you!" A voice she dreaded hearing, Hazama's voice said as Makoto couldn't help but remain quiet. "Is something the matter? How is the mission I sent you coming along? It has been a while since we last spoke but I didn't think you were this tardy." Hazama commented as Makoto took a deep breath.
Makoto: You can drop the nice guy act Hazama, I know you for the asshole you are.
Hazama: Huh? What are you talking about now? You must have hit your head on something hard.
Makoto: I am not going to waste your time nor mine. I have known about you and your weird shit for a while now. I can confirm that now after seeing your shitty personality for my eyes.
Hazama: Oh my, did I do something to warrant your anger? I don't understand why you are angry with me right now.
Makoto: It's alright if you want to play dumb, I can handle that. Just so you know, I am not going to let you boss me around anymore... Boss.
As Makoto hung up on Captain Hazama, she took a look at her phone as she noticed the date on her phone. "The 1st of January 2200... talk about a brand new century..." Makoto commented as her eyes finally were blinded by the light of Ibukido as she took a couple of deep breathes, breathing in the air of her own timeline. There laid a few choices in front of her, she needed to find Sora and make sure he was doing alright, she also needed to find Noel and Tsubaki and make sure that they were alright. Regardless, she needed to find her friends and she knew the person to do that.
...Professor Kokonoe, I hope you are able to help me with this...
As Makoto hung up on Captain Hazama, Hazama himself couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration as he bit his lip, realizing which version of Makoto he was talking to. "The cocky little son of a bitch... thinks she's hot shit just because she beats up Relius Clover... Well I'll show her when I get my hands on her." Relius grumbled as his door was knocked upon as he looked at the door, quickly recomposing himself as he cleared his throat. "Come in. I am available right now." Hazama said politely, maintaining an aura of politeness in front of him as the door opened.
"I see that you have sent the Yayoi girl on her way to Kagutsuchi." A voice came from the door as Hazama sighed. "Of course I did Relius... though unfortunately this time, she's got company with her, the kind of company that I really am wondering why she decided to go along." Hazama complained as Relius made his entrance, his gold opera mask covering his emotions once again as he chuckled. "Why even complain Hazama? This timeline has provided us with lots of crucial data for our goals." Relius continued as Hazama rubbed his forehead.
"Yeah... like being the fucking timeline where that squirrel chick you experimented on comes from." The moment that Hazama said that, a glint appeared on Relius's eyes as he knew what he was talking about. "Did she say where she was heading towards? I must go and see her right away." Relius questioned, his attention fully went towards Makoto as Hazama sighed at this sudden interest. "I don't even know man, she hung up before she even gave the location of where she was going to next... first the whole continuum shift with Noel Vermillion and Ragna the Bloodedge and now this whole Makoto mess, this timeline sucks!" Hazama complained as he slumped himself on his desk.
Relius however ignored the plight of his green haired friend as he couldn't help but smile at the possibility presented in front of him. Finally, after having gone through so many timelines since meeting the perfect Makoto Nanaya for his own works, he has finally met up with her again. The things he could do once he gains her soul were endless, and he couldn't help but smile some more. "Regardless of what you are saying Hazama, keep me updated on where Miss Nanaya whereabouts are, I want to be there as soon as possible." Relius said as he soon took his leave, leaving Hazama all alone as he slumped deeper down on his desk.
Here he was, dealing with the aftermath of what was essentially a shit show of an event. Ragna the Bloodedge has just been pulled out of the cauldron by Noel Vermillion, beginning the continuum shift where the gods can now observe whatever they wish. And now here he finds out that the Makoto Nanaya he had met in another timeline, whose gotten the interest of his weird masked friend is actually a part of this timeline and now acting on her own. He knew he had to get down to Kagutsuchi himself and start trying to fix shit together... and there was only one other thing that rung in his mind.
...Can this day get any worse?..
As we cut away from Makoto Nanaya and Hazama, in an airship riding along the skies, a man sat down on his chair sipping a cup of water, his large coat hiding his whole body except for his legs as he took a sip of fine wine. A waitress approaches him, her uniform top undone a bit to expose some cleavage as she leaned closer to the man in a seductive manner. "Is that all you are drinking today or will you prefer to have something to eat as well?" The woman asked as the man placed his cup of wine down and raised his hand to refuse politely.
"It's alright, I am working today. In any other case, can you tell me if we are approaching closer to Kagutsuchi?" the man asked politely, keeping the hood covered over his head as the air stewardess smiled. "We are approaching at least a few more miles before Kagutsuchi. Are you taking the express exit?" The stewardess asked as the man simply nodded his head. "If that is the case, I would ask for you to please see yourself to the closest exit. I will bring for you your luggage." the stewardess said as the man undid his seat belt, walking past the crowds of men and women seated on their seats with fancy jewelry and outfits.
This was not your ordinary flight in your ordinary airlines. This was Otsu air, a privately owned airlines of the Otsunian government designed for their own citizens. And the citizens who were seated in this aircraft were not your ordinary citizens but criminals who were taking their leave from Otsu to partake in normal activities in the Hierarchical cities. To them, this was their vacation from their criminal activities but for the man in the cloak, he was heading to Kagutsuchi for business.
"Good luck down there. I heard that since that beam of light nearly annihilated Kagutsuchi the NOL's stepped up security." One of the wealthy criminals spoke to the man in the cloak, knowing who it was underneath and why he was heading towards the express exit. "And you should too. Don't do anything that would get Otsu in trouble now." The man in the cloak retorted as the criminal laughed before his woman pulled him closer as a necklace jingled from the cloaked man's neck as he continued to make his way towards the express exit, where the stewardess waited for him with his luggage in her hands.
"Your luggage sir." the stewardess said as what was in her hands was no ordinary bag of luggage but instead, a small sword in the shape of a messer, a Germanic sword in the shape of a knife. The weapon itself looked strange as it had a motorcycle handle and brake attached to it instead of the normal wrappings one would find in a sword as the man picked it up from the woman with his right hand. "Thank you madam, I hope you didn't find it too heavy?" The cloaked man asked as the woman shook her head and opened the door, revealing what seemed to be a cockpit of sorts.
"Of course not, I handle heavy luggage for a living. Now if you would kindly step inside the pod." The woman gestured as the cloaked man obliged, having the woman seat belt him in as she smiled while holding the door closed. "Thank you for flying with Otsu Air, I hope to see you again, Mr Miracle Bringer." The stewardess said, closing the door as the cloaked man smiled before bracing himself to the tiny chamber's walls as an outer view of the airship reveals what is going to happen next.
A ball begins to roll out of the airship itself, flying out of the airship in rapid speed as the airship continued to fly away from Kagutsuchi. Inside this ball contained the cloaked man as it descended rapidly towards the ground, cratering in the process as trees and the ground gave way, parting in the process as the cloaked man opened the chute, revealing to him that he had just landed himself right into the dense forests that surrounded Kagutsuchi, the hierarchical city he was going to have to make his way towards.
"Well... wasn't expecting a smoother landing than what I got. Still had to admit, was a lot better than before." the cloaked man said to himself as he decided to pull down his cloak, revealing his face to the world as he only wore the cloak inside the airship because it felt comfortable and now that the wind was blowing so nicely on his face, he couldn't help but pull his hood down to get more air.
As he did so, his white hair began to flow nicely with the wind, causing his bangs to part a little, revealing the blond tips that were on the ends of his hair. His hair had grown a bit longer so he had the rest of his hair tied into a small ponytail that wasn't too big. He had a small cut present that went across his right eye but he didn't mind as that eye was already blind so it was more visual appeal as he saw it. His yellow left eye shone as brightly as he did as he let out a small yawn, taking in all of his surroundings.
"Alright Sora... you've got a few miles ahead of you before you reach Kagutsuchi. Might as well make sure to get in some practice swings before meeting up with the target." the cloaked man, now known as Sora Minakaze himself said as he loosened his cloak, revealing that what he was wearing underneath was a simple run down hakama with loose cut pants and a pair of dirty black boots, a simple piece of attire that suited Sora no matter the destination he chose.
As he picked up his giant knife and placed it on his hip, he couldn't help but tap on the blade slightly for good luck as he smiled towards Kagutsuchi. He had always wanted to come to this place and see what it was all about and the job he was at was the excuse he needed to stay in the city for a few days. "Alright Kagutsuchi, let's see if you are as interesting as all those travel itineraries try to make you be." Sora said to himself, stretching his right arm into the air as he began to take his first few steps towards the city...
...Unaware of the threads of fate that are beginning to spin around him...
GREETINGS LOST SHEEP OF FANFICTION!? HOW IS EVERYONE DOING TODAY!? And finally Sora Minakaze has made his appearance in the story. I know I have been doing a lot of cock teasing about the guy and here he is. As to what has happened to his life since you guys last saw him? Well, I will say that it's better to keep on reading to see more tidbits on this guy's life because it's no fun to spoil the surprise now.
Just a few things I would let you guys know. Firstly, the semester has begun for me and it's starting to look really busy like usual, so if there are months where I can only give you guys at least 1 chapter a month, I hope you all can understand. But I will make sure to let you guys know so you guys aren't left out of the loop. Secondly, I have noticed a growing interest in lemon content, particularly for Sora and Makoto. Now I understand we all want to see them have their time under the bed but I am just not sure where to place this content. Do you guys want to see it as seperate from the story as it's own series of chapters? Or will you all prefer to see the lemon in the chapters themselves at the expense of the story becoming Mature because well.. it's the bed talk. Leave your thoughts down on the reviews or private message me about it. Your feedback will help.
And finally we are starting the story from the Continuum Shift point of the Blazblue story if you guys have noticed. The reason for this is simple. It's really easy to insert a character during this point during the story and also gives me flexibility to write the chapters the way I wanted. Also if I can be frank, Nothing much really happens in Calamity Trigger besides the climax and I want to get into the interesting bits as soon as possible.
SO WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT IN OUR STORY!? JUST WHAT IS SORA DOING IN KAGUTSUCHI!? JUST WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS IS HE UNDER!? IS IT THE KIND OF SHADY BUSINESS ONLY OTSUNIANS ARE KNOWN FOR DOING OR SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY!? AND JUST WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO IN OTSU!? Well... just sit back because a whole new chapter of Blazblue has just begun and you all are in it for the ride.
