Chapter 2

She slowly walks up to him.

"Ragna, are you alright? What's the matter? It is unusual for you to act like this?" She must have thought to herself that the experiment from the system was the cause.

"Hey Rachel, I'm not the Ragna from your world." He tells her in a tone that expels sorrow.

"Not from this world?" She sensed that something was off with him but had not come to the conclusion that he was not their Ragna. The Ragna from their world must be somewhere else.

The system speaks.

"What? How are you here? How did you get in here? I can't even move you to the next location. What are you?!" The system had no power to move nor teleport Ragna.

"It's simple. I'm just refusing to be teleported. Or that's what I think I'm doing."

Sometime before this happened…

"Where did he go? I swear he just finished fighting himself just now….why'd he disappear?" surprised and unexpected it quickly changes perspective to view and locate the Grim Reaper. It finds out that there is another Ragna around. But it can detect that something is off. He's not from here nor the Ragna it brought in. The system switches locations to investigate just who is this man and where did he come from.

Back to the main scene.

Ragna grabs his sword and prepares his stance, " I don't have time for you, whoever is talking in my head, leave." Already stressed from what has happened just recently, he was not having it, having to deal with more problems already gives him a headache.

The ground trembles. The power that Ragna possesses is completely different than last time, "Man, if Terumi had that unit with him any longer, I wouldn't even stand a chance" gritting his teeth and being aware even with this new power, battling a fully powered Susano'o his chances of survival would go down all to zero.

The system doesn't respond and even tried to take action but nothing had worked.

"I guess they'll leave us alone for now, I would really hate dealing with more problems than the one I'm currently having." he sighs. He turns to Rachel and sees her in a puzzled state. Ragna having full control of the Azure Grimoire and being able to pose a threat possibly greater than Azrael? And without having to use the Azure Grimoire? It was a surprise for the vampire.

Ragna feeling the cloth again in his sword looks to his handle. A black ribbon. The ribbon is used by Rachel and allows her to look like a bunny that he tends to call her. The vampire watching the criminal as he unties the ribbon and the realization hits her.

He talks to himself in a quiet tone but even with that, she could still hear him.

Holding the ribbon, " I'll return when I find a way. Mark my words, Rachel..."

Rachel's thoughts began to cloud her sight of reality.

"Is that my ribbon? Was I the one who has tied it to his sword?" Rachel begins to fumble quietly. "If he is not from my world...and my ribbon being tied to his sword...could it be that we were...NO! That is ridiculous. That is not possible." Shaking her head from what she thinks is too vague to even prove her theory.

He ties it back to his handle and he turns to the vampire. He saw her in a state in which he had never seen her before from his world. A girl that was very hard to budge, distracted, and very deep in her thoughts leaving her vulnerable. She must have seen the ribbon and heard him. It was odd for him to see her like that. She was always in this steadfast and some type of force that he can't even breakthrough. After all, her entire guard dropped when he gave her a hug, "Hey, can we talk?"

Reality hits her back and fast.

"Ah! T-talk about what?" She coughs and clears her voice trying her best to go back to her usual demeanor. "What is it about?" Her usual intimidation aura was no longer there. This was not the way she would act all the time around the criminal, but it caught his eye.

He felt another object somewhere in his jacket and it fell. Ragna caught it.

It was a keystone.

"But before that, what is this?" He throws the keystone up and down.

Rachel remembers what she was going to do in the first place. She was going to ask Ragna to give her the stone.

"Oh, that's a keystone. It is highly suggested that you hand that over to me."

"And why's that?" Forming a serious glare.

"We do not have much time. Please hand it to me before-" She was cut off by a voice from a distance.

Two faces appear. Familiar faces approach the two. "Well well well, look who we have here! It's the shitty vampire and Rags himself!"

"RAAAAAGNAAAAAAAAAA!"

" I swear to god! My day gets worse. Hey Rachel, we'll talk later I'll have to take care of these guys."

"Do my ears deceive me? I heard 'I' you do know that I have to take part in this battle too."

The criminal smirks "Alright, alright. Just watch my back."

"Very well." Curiosity invades her, he acts as he usually does but something is different. He was confident. Confidence that looked like he had already won the fight. She might as well observe the man.

"Nago and Gii, are you done murmuring? I am very well aware that you had listened to every word I had said, especially Ragna. Stay silent and not a word shall be spoken about it. Or else I will have to inform Valkenhayn to have you both as my dish once we return. Understood?"

"B-but princess we didn't even say anything!" Nago exclaims

"Aw man" Gii, in complete fear.

CAN'T ESCAPE FROM CROSSING FATE!

FIGHT!

"OUROBOROS!" a snake chain manifests and locked on Ragna, approaching him at a fast pace. Ragna caught the head and yanked the chain in the direction it was going. Hazama getting pulled in with no control. "NUMBER 13 I NEED SOME HELP HERE!" Nu descended to Ragna with incredible speed, but for Ragna, he had no problems.

CLANG

He blocked the strike and hurled Hazama to a barrier. "AGH! Damn. Since when did he get this strong?!" Hazama grabs his chest trying to control his breathing because of how hard the impact was towards the barrier. He was close to being unconscious. He looked at the barrier revealing a crack and the stems still stretching. The man in the suit was surprised.

"Did you miss me Ragna? I missed you too!"

Nu excitingly reveals her 8 Swords

"Bitch!" He pushes her away with his sword and she lands on the ground piercing the ground.

"Spike Chaser!" She lifts her hand up and the sword appears beneath Ragna. He jumps and sees Nu in the air with him. "Crescent Saber!" "BloodScythe!" The blades crashed but Nu's attack was inferior. The blades broke and sent the clone crashing down. "AHH!" left a lot of bruises and wounds on her. Scratched and damaged some parts of her armor. He might have hit a little too hard.

Rachel left surprised at how he managed to deal with the two with ease. "Oh my, that might have been a little excessive. I'm quite astonished that you didn't need my aid."

"Yeah, I might have gotten a little too far. Unfortunately from what I'm seeing here, we can't kill. As much as I wanted to impale Hazama, I was somehow restricted and I gotta be honest, that's a load of bullshit." He was recalling the moment where Hazama tortured Rachel. He was still pissed and wanted to end him right there and now. The only weird thing was…he felt a bit of Terumi's presence. "Bullshit that can't be him!" He talks to himself in his thoughts.

"Perhaps so..."

"C'mon let's get moving. We don't want them waking up next to us and attacking again." Rachel agreed and both headed off somewhere.
