I changed my mind a bit about BBTAG characters coming in. I wanted to focus more on the BlazBlue cast lmao. I hope you enjoy what's coming next.
"Terumi, you did terrible back there. How did you even manage to get your ass beaten up by him." Hazama quickly took control when he landed on the ground after being thrown towards a barrier. He lays on his back coughing out blood. "I *cough* feel like I'm gonna pass out. He did a number on me. My eyesight is already getting dark. If I were fighting I'd already have given up. You just HAD to be persistent and wanted to stomp on him did you?" Hazama blindly touched the ground beside him looking for his hat. "I'm sore in all places. I'm gonna have to take a nap. Hey, Terumi you there? Hey, talk to me. Huh. No response. Looks like Ragna threw me so hard he even got knocked out. No wonder why It was easy for me to switch..."He pulls out a smirk and coughs out a bit of blood. "This is gonna stain my suit...well, I can't do anything about it." He places his hat on his face and faints from the injuries and slowly heal.
The two arrived in somewhat a familiar place.
"Isn't this Kagutsuchi? It's all deserted...and we were somewhere we had no clue about. Jeez, it's going to be easy getting lost walking around here."
"I would like to remind you about what you were going to tell me not long ago." The vampire gets impatient. She wanted to know.
"Alright. You might wanna shut up for a bit because this may either be short or too long to take in." The criminal sits on the bench tapping on the vacant part of the bench telling her to sit as well. "As I said, I'm not from this world. In my time we had already been through a lot and lost some...but first I wanna ask you about some things." Ragna folds his arms.
"Okay." Rachel sits down. "Go ahead."
"Are you still an observer? Or your powers are slowly getting weaker after interfering too much.
"I can say that I indeed lost a handful of my magic.
"Is Terumi still within Hazama or he has become an individual?"
"Terumi can somehow reside within Hazama yet appear as an individual, I'm afraid that he can appear as both."
"Damn. That far? Okay...is Azrael roaming around."
"That lowly mutt is still an obstacle."
After questioning the vampire that felt like ages. He finally gets to the main point.
He looks at her and lets out a faint laugh "We won."
"Pardon?" Rachel did not understand what he meant.
"Heh, even with that you still didn't understand?" he smiled.
She processed what he said. What did he mean by, "We won?" Rachel finally realized what he meant. Her mouth agape while Ragna smiles. After knowing, she didn't know how to react to Terumi's eradication but she was relieved. She always had that sense of anxiety that plagued her mind every single day due to the unknown possibilities and obstacles that will come on their way. Worrying about Ragna's sake as well. But there was one thing that came into her mind. Her body moved on its own. She asked him without thinking.
"W-what about us? I-I mean me? You know what? Forget about it!" She wanted to know.
"I know what you want Rachel. Your dream. Something that you had wanted after all that time. I get why you always persisted to tease me and pick on me and at the same time, had to be very restless when the time loop was broken." He completely forgot that this was not Rachel from his world but his heart took control. He had to say it, he couldn't wait anymore. The vampire princess was fully aware and red as a tomato when she knew what dream he was talking about. Countless centuries of watching him die over and over again. She could not stand it and cursed herself that she can't do anything. She wanted to interfere but her duty forbids it. These events happening over and over caused her to become a walking ghost. Her defenses were broken down by his very statement. "Well, Rachel... I'm going to tell you this now. I feel the same way for you."
Her eyes became wide open. A dazed expression formed in her. Ragna was enjoying the view, she was no longer the calm, collected, and tolerant Rachel Alucard. Instead, she was acting the same way any normal girl would react to a confession. Surprised, flabbergasted, name it all. He started to laugh a little.
"S-Silence! You clod! I'll let you know that I will hurl you into a pit where Nago and Gii shall feast upon you!" Her threat no longer had that intimidating aura, rather it was replaced with adorable, pure, and raw embarrassment.
"Oh wow what a predicament." Nago faintly laughs
"How dare you humiliate the princess!" Gii retorts hovering over Ragna.
She was defeated and didn't have anything else to say. "I-uh...why are you telling me this? Do you really feel the same way for me?" Why would he? Wouldn't he mess up the timeline? Ragna knew what he did and he knew as well that it was a selfish thing to do but this time, he had the power. He can fully utilize the Azure Grimoire and link the Idea Engine at max power with no problem nor destroy his body. He would possibly just play along and take things down when necessary. He can defeat Azrael even if he removes his limiters. The only real threat to him was a pitch-black Susano'o.
"I really don't know if I'm really gonna be stuck here, starting from the top again sucks ass so I had to." Mustering the courage he has left and telling her everything while he looks away, "It would piss me off and irritate me more if I were to keep it to myself any longer." He was not sure if he could go back, but this is Rachel. She has endured worse things than he had ever encountered in his life.
An awkward silence.
She slowly moves closer to him and leans on him. Ragna was startled by the sudden interaction, he didn't know what to do but he knows that he has to respond. He slowly puts his arm around her and as he touched her other shoulder she instinctively jolted. It startled her. He pulled her close as she calms down and heating up. She smelled like roses and Ragna's scent was okay. Swallowing the lump in his throat and leaning back to her "I love you."
She could not fathom nor control the number of emotions going through her mind until.
"A sight to see! Princess, should we make preparations?" Nago ruining the moment.
"Wait so should we start calling him Mr. Ragna now? Is he going to be her suitor?" Gii making things worse.
"AGH! I...cannot...breathe!" Ragna strangles Nago with his vacant arm
"OWIEEEEEE" Rachel stretching Gii to his limits
Yeah, the moment was ruined.
"BROTHER! LET'S KILL EACH OTHER!" A sudden distant voice loud enough to be heard all around Kagutsuchi.
Oh no...He had forgotten to ask the vampire about Jin.
"Oh shit! Oh fuck, is HE under the influence of Yukianese? I thought he had control over the Power of Order" Ragna hides behind a big concrete structure.
"I suppose that the system had something to do and tampered with it. And it seems like he's nearby and searching for you." Rachel teases the criminal.
"Oh come on rabbit, is that how you wanna play?" she missed him calling her a rabbit. It was definitely one of the reasons that kept her amused, she didn't hate it nor liked it. She was glad that their battle of words had reached a new level.
"BROTHERRRRRRR I KNOW YOU'RE HERE! SHOW YOURSELF!"
"Jin? What happened to you? We were devising a plan...and then you suddenly went like this? I didn't know you would have a strong throat." A familiar voice
"Oh dear, It seems like the hero has lost himself."
"Madam Rachel? You were brought here too?"
"Indeed, I was also dragged into this unorganized event. I must say, I am impressed. You took full control over the Izayoi Tsubaki. I can say that I am pleased to see you in a stronger form."
"Thanks but...what about Jin?" she asked in a really concerned matter.
"His brother must be nearby. The system must have tampered with the Power of Order and took control over Jin."
"System? Brother?" Tsubaki then remembers who was Jin's brother and ignores the main topic.
"RAGNA THE BLOODEDGE WHERE ARE YOU?!" She was thirsty for the Grim Reaper's blood as much as Jin was.
"Rachel, you didn't have to-" he was cut off when he was heard by Tsubaki.
"THERE YOU ARE!"
"YOU FOUND BROTHER? THAT'S GREAT!"
"Yeah, Jin.." Feeling a bit proud when she got his attention.
"Let's kill them together shall we?" Jin readied his sword.
"Yes, we will." Tsubaki summons her spear.
"Oh god...uhh can you do me a favor and take care of Tsubaki. I don't like to hear both of them yell at my ears. I'm sure that my eardrums will pop hearing both of them at the same time." Annoyed and irritated.
"Alright then." Rachel is in a very happy mood.
"Madam Rachel? Why are you helping this blasted criminal?" utterly confused
"I'm afraid I can't answer that, but worry not, I do in fact always keep an eye on him. My purpose is to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid with that hard skull of his."
"I heard that!" Hearing his voice from a distance. She gave herself a smile.
Ragna watches her as she hops her way to prepare a stance against Tsubaki. "Well, I didn't think you'd act like one." She didn't hear him and trotted along.
"Jin I don't have time for you damn it!"
Their blades clashed. Sounds of metal grinding and bashing against each other.
Ragna, slowly getting used to his power and tries not to be excessive in his blows. He parries and dodges Jin's attacks. Jin penetrates the ground with his sword. Ragna didn't need to look back and destroyed the Icy tombstone behind him. He Runs up to him dodging his projectiles and Ice attacks "Gauntlet...Hades!" He uses his techniques to dodge his projectiles "He's open! HELL'S...!" once he closed in, he tricked Jin into blocking. And then he grabbed his collar, "Snap out of it Jin! Remember Saya? Tsubaki? she needs you so stop! THEY need you to stop!" Jin came back to earth, "What...brother? Where are we...?" Yukianesa took control once more.
"Ah shit, I guess it all has to come with this." Ragna didn't like the idea and Tsubaki would hate him even more. He jumps up as the floor turns ice blue. Signaling that he was planning to make him stuck on the ground freezing his legs.
"MOONSONG" Jin creates an ice bow with his katana aimed straight at Ragna. Jin's plan was to force him to stay in the air. Ragna found put and knew that he could not dodge in the air, but he had an idea.
"Guess I'll have to plow through!" Raising his sword in the air pointed towards Jin and positioned himself, "Belial Edge!" A downward diagonal strike propelled him downward with the black mass supporting his speed. He destroys the Ice arrow and leaves a vulnerable Jin. He quickly got behind him and yelled, "INFERNO DIVIDER!" He rises while a dark red mass follows along with his sword launching both of them in the air. "Sorry Jin, this won't kill ya but that doesn't mean it won't hurt either!" Following an uppercut and an ax kick, the strike brings him down to the ground. Not too rough but strong enough to knock him out. Ragna put his sword behind him seeing that Rachel had taken care of Tsubaki.
"She has gotten better and stronger, and her bloodlust towards you has grown equally with her development."
"Uh-huh. Was that a compliment?" Concerned and relieved he waved it off and thought about his younger brother. "I'm glad someone cares about Jin. Too bad she'll continue hating me even after we get to good terms."
Would he even come to good terms with Tsubaki? He quietly wonders.
