"TERUMIIII!" Ragna charged, ready to swing his sword.
"YOU AND YOUR WORLD SHALL PERISH!" Sprinting to Ragna as he summons his sword.
SHING!
Their blades meet, "YOU'RE KILLING NOBODY TERUMI!" Susanoo's face turned from cocky to serious when he realized that Ragna was growing stronger.
THE WHEEL OF FATE IS TURNING
REBEL 1
ACTION!
Susanoo pushes him back with a grin on his face. His sword began glowing brighter, the blade was getting sharper. Ragna quickly noticed and dashed backward. "An offering!" the blade grew longer to cover Ragna's distance. He noticed that he was not alone in the area, he sees Rachel and Tsubaki from a far distance. "Damnit Rabbit why didn't you stay with Celica..." Be talked to himself. Susanoo began to swing. "DISAPPEAR!" An enlarged blade comes at him, destroying every structure and life it cuts through. Ragna transformed his sword into a scythe, "BloodScythe!" He turns and draws his scythe and unleashes a powerful wave. "SEED OF TARTARUS!" It disintegrated the upper portion of the god's blade.
"Impossible!" He buries his hand in the ground and pulls himself, "SUNDERING CLAWS!" Ragna reacted by reattaching the sword to his back, he knew he didn't have time to counterattack. Susanoo then hits him and slashes upward, spinning Ragna in the air. Susanoo then stops the spinning by throwing a blow straight to his abdomen, causing the criminal to cough out blood. Following an axe kick bringing him down to the ground. "Decimate." Susanoo dashes down in the ground, thrashing Ragna. He kicks him up towards the air and follows him. "SHITHEAD!" insults were thrown at Ragna while claws the criminal in the air. "Hunter's Fang!" He spins himself in the air, forming a circle like a hedgehog, and crashes into the ground. As he landed, dark energy rises from the ground damaging Ragna even more. Ragna violently landed on the ground with a loud thud.
"No..." Rachel was still weak. She tries to help Ragna. Tsubaki stops her by pulling her away from the fight.
"Madame, No! I will not allow you to step in. You'll get killed! Is that what would he want?" Tsubaki tried to persuade her as Rachel tried to escape her grip.
"Princess! You shouldn't! You're too weak to provide support even if you have us to aid in your attacks!" Nago telling the vampire.
Rachel falls to her knees, "I don't want to be idle and watch...It pains me. I hate being useless."
Tsubaki sucked in her teeth. She then said these words, "Ragna the Bloodedge is a strong man. Like what you said, he's far from mortal and he's very strong. Dying is never an option for him, have faith in him." Tsubaki couldn't believe it herself that she is trusting Ragna in this. "If Jin trusted him, and so will I."
"I...Thank you...I had almost forgotten my faith in the man. I will trust your words Tsubaki. But if there's a time he needs us the most, we will aid him." Tsubaki nodded and they continued to watch the battle.
REBEL 2
ACTION!
Susanoo rushed Ragna like there was no tomorrow. He threw attacks at him with no little time for him to react. There was no opening. The man of Azure was being thrown and pushed left and right as he blocks every single blow directed at him, "Fuck...each attack he makes...is too fucking heavy-" His guard was broken by the God's Megalith. Susanoo charges at him and grabs his head. "Blast!" He thrashes his head by slamming it down to the ground multiple times and slamming him onto a boulder. The boulder behind him breaks. Susanoo picked him up by his neck, "Fool. For a moment there Ragna. I thought you had grown stronger but it was just my naivety. See this as mercy, wielder of the Azure." The God tightens his grip, Ragna was losing consciousness, "Shit...I guess I'm gonna break that promise...sorry Rachel..."
"Sonic Saber!" Tsubaki had thrown multiple projectiles at Susanoo.
"You dare mock me?" He closes his left hand forming a fist, "Inevitable Calamity!" Electricity sparks and negates every projectile. Rods fall around Susanoo. "What's this? Are you attempting to seal me? It's an entertaining joke."
"Baden Baden Lily!" Ragna heard a familiar voice, it was Rachel. She summons lightning to strike Susanoo. He had downplayed Rachel last time, so he's not making the same mistake. He drops Ragna to dodge the lightning, not knowing if the strike would paralyze him or hurt him fatally.
"Madame! I'll hold him off!" She stabs the ground with her spear. "Freedom Justice: Slaver Transam!" She enhanced her flight and projectile capabilities. Tsubaki knew that she couldn't beat him. She was planning to buy Ragna time to heal up a bit to fight.
"Entertain me, Izayoi. Your weapon is made to fight observers is it not? You will pay for intervening in our little duel." Susanoo beckons her and rushes her.
"Ragna!" She puts him on her lap and observes his wounds. She sees multiple bruises, cuts, and wounds all over his body. "Don't talk. Just rest a little more. I do not know how your grimoire managed to heal that so much...be more cautious! There is so much more than the Grimoire of yours can take!"
"Rachel...what are you doing here? I had it." Ragna was getting up. Rachel stops him.
"I told you to rest, is it that hard for your brain to register?" She was trying to stay calm. Seeing Ragna in this state was difficult for her to keep her cool. Ragna could feel his wounds closing up and getting better. He was healing fast thanks to his grimoire.
"EYESORE!" Susanoo strikes Tsubaki with a dark energy-infused blow. Tsubaki held her stomach in immeasurable pain and dropped her spear. "Ugh..."
The God grabs her head and jumps. "Not a speck of dust..." He spins in the air at an abnormal speed. He slams Tsubaki to the ground, "SHALL REMAIN!"
BOOM!
An explosion caught their attention.
He then proceeded to step on her head. "You bore me..." He sees her spear and walks to it to pick it up. "I won't kill you. But you can suffer and watch your friends die!" He thrusts her own spear towards her leg, stabbing her. "AHHHH!" She screamed in pain and blacked out from shock.
"Tsubaki...Ragna, I must aid-" She was then stopped. She was shot by Susanoo's dark energy blast. Nago caught her, it was too fast for Gii to shield her. Ragna could see intense pain from Rachel's face, but she didn't scream. "Tch...!"
"RACHEL!" He forced himself to get up. Gii buries his claws to the ground and forms a barrier to protect Rachel. Each blast was pushing him back away from the ground. He was getting thrown away from the energy blasts. Another wave of dark energy projectile knocked Gii out. Rachel was left vulnerable. What Ragna saw next horrified him. Rachel kept getting blasted by his projectiles. Nago quickly switched to protect her but it was to no avail, he got thrown away as well. Just before another dark energy bullet hits her, Ragna threw himself to protect her.
"Oh? This will be fun." Susanoo fixates himself and puts his fists on his hips. A stance similar to a form of martial arts. He punches the air rapidly to shoot Ragna with his dark energy blasts. "HAAAAGHHHHH" Ragna kept tanking the hits and it suddenly stopped. Ragna turned, his eyes became wide open. It was the same move that destroyed Rachel's barrier. He looks at her harmed body. "Fucker's still got the energy."
Susanoo yells, "To close the curtain, you, this world, that so-called existence…" The blade reaching the skies, "can go and eat all this pain!" He swings his sword towards Ragna, "YOU ARE WORTHLESS!"
Ragna unleashes the Azure's power and covers half of his body with red mass. His right hand is a claw. "Me, Rachel, everyone...Isn't dying here...TODAY!" He catches the sword. Dark red energy started to rise from the ground to support Ragna, "THIS IS THE POWER OF THE AZURE! MY POWER!" He destroys the blade and absorbs it.
Susanoo took a step back, "This is mutiny...a mere mortal stopping my final technique with his bare hands?! Inconceivable!" He watches Ragna struggling to absorb the extreme destructive power the blade contained. Susanoo saw this as an opportunity to strike. He ran towards him. "S-shit!" His hand was trembling, it was painful. Ragna saw Susanoo running at him while he breaks the ground in every step he makes. "Then...!" Ragna fixates his stance. With the power he couldn't absorb, he is gonna use all of it. Ragna was concentrating the dark energy and formed a blade similar to Susanoo's. The man smirks, and the god's eyes widened. "Does this look familiar Terumi?" It was Susanoo's blade of Judgement that Ragna had formed. Except it was color red. "HERE GOES NOTHING!" He swings the blade. Susanoo had summoned his and clashed. Susano'o was being pushed back.
"Fool! That blade can be only used once with the power you absorbed! You wasted your only chance to win against me!" the god started to push him back.
"I'm not trying to beat you with this..." He then parried the blade and swung to the ground.
"You missed." The god humiliated Ragna.
"Made you look." Ragna's hands started to feel a burning sensation. He is not compatible with the destructive power that he holds. He then threw away the blade and disappears into thin air.
Susanoo looked down as he felt a presence below him. It was the head of the Black Beast coming at him. The attack sent him flying away from the three. Ragna dropped and stopped his fall by landing on his hands. "Shit...that would buy us some time." He immediately runs to Rachel. Nago and Gii approach her, injured and fatigued.
"Where's Celica?!" He was looking around. Gii told Ragna that Celica had passed out from using too much of her magic. Nu had escaped and Tager is dealing with her as of now. "I swear to fucking God if Tager loses..." He curses himself for being too weak and reckless to stop Susanoo right away. He proceeded to investigate Rachel's injuries, "Nago, go help Tsubaki. Gii, you're with me." He unzips the jacket that Ragna placed on her to wear for warmth. He undoes the buttons of her sleeveless polo shirt to see the damage. He sees multiple dark marks on her chest. "No...no...I need to...how do I..." He looks at his hands. "C'mon...this better work. I'm not letting you die!" He removes the dark marks on her chest. They were imbued with dark energy. If they were to linger any longer it would've killed her in the next few seconds.
Rachel opened her eyes. "Ragna...?" Ragna started to laugh in joy, he cried. "Thank fuck...you're alive..." He covered her in his arms. "Listen to me, you and Tsubaki should retreat to Celica right away." He puts the buttons of her sleeveless shirt in place, Rachel blushed when he realized what he did. "Did you-?" Ragna hushed her, "Talk later. We don't have much time. I need to kill Terumi before anyone else fucking stands up." He zips the jacket on her. "Gii keep her safe." Gii grew in size and proceeded to bring her to Celica's location. Rachel's vision went a blur, she got tired all of a sudden. It was all adrenaline that kept her going earlier with Ragna. "Ragna...you better win..." She passed out.
"Nago, bring her to Celica's location. Minerva can help her out. I need to finish what he started." Nago responded without a word.
He sees Susanoo falling from the sky, into the ground. "You're healed aren't you? Your little friend held me back for quite some time. Impressive." A smile formed on the god's face.
"I'm ending this. Terumi." Ragna holds his sword.
Susanoo took a step back. He sensed Ragna's aura. He was calm mixed with anger. Despair and hate fuels the god but this one was different. "What is this...?" The god felt fear. Ragna's Grimoire was not used to its fullest, even if Ragna maximized its output. The man of Azure realized this and began taking advantage of it.
Ragna goes into his battle stance and smiles. "This will be an onslaught Terumi. You are going to pay for what you did to my friends, especially Rachel. You are not coming out of this. Alive."
"Tch," Susanoo responds. "Our revelry has only begun!"

REBEL 3
ACTION!
Ragna sprints, breaking the ground behind him. Susanoo strengthens his guard. He thought that the criminal would strike him, but he did what Susanoo had done to his friends. He charged and grabbed him by his head and immediately stopped, "This'll sting!" He aims his sword at him. It stabs Susanoo. It went through his armor once more. "Hnggh...Impudence!"
Ragna threw him up for a punch. "For someone who always shits talks on mortals, sure has worse anger issues than mine." He punches him and follows. Susanoo recovers and attacks with his tail. Ragna caught it and pulled the God in. Dark red mass forms around Ragna's sword. "Watch your feet!" An unstoppable force made Susanoo trip and hit the ground. The plates trembled below the God due to his insane weight. "DEADSPIKE!" The head of the black beast rises from the ground. It knocked Susanoo to the sword that had fallen from the mesa and bounced from it. "FANG!" Another head of the black beast rises from the ground and hits him again. The sword made by Noel started to crack. "SEED OF TARTARUS!" He spins and transforms his sword into a scythe and creates a massive powerful wave towards Susanoo. The sword broke into pieces and pierce the god. "It's not over yet!" Ragna prepares his stance and charges straight towards the god. "CARNAGE...!" Ragna dashes to the god and slams him with his sword. He covered the gap between them in an instant. "SCISSORS!" Red spiked mass pierces through the God severely wounding him. He chases him on the ground as he was bouncing on the ground. "Belial Edge!" Ragna takes Susanoo to the ground, "Inferno Divider!" More hits being done to Susanoo, all were fatal. To his surprise, he was still standing. "Persistent fucker..." Ragna whispers to himself. Susanoo was just standing idly, no insults nor long-winded speeches were coming out of him. "What happened to your long monologues and insults? Did I hurt your ego? My bad." He pissed off Terumi himself and it was all according to plan.
Ragna dodges and counterattacks every single attack being thrown at him. He was utilizing his blue grimoire to its fullest extent. It was not about the power and speed he thought it was. It was the utilization of technique. "Like what my master said...it's not about brute force. It's about technique!" He parries and slides through the seemingly unavoidable and heavy-hitting blows. He brings his blade himself over his leading shoulder. Performing a slamming slash while a dark red mass trails the attack. Wounding the God.
"INSOLENCE!" The God charged at Ragna and hits him, "STRIKE OF THE POSSESSED GOD!" Susanoo breathes and glows, "Hummmmm...it's over." Ragna braces for impact. "THIS IS THE END! DIE!" Every trick in his sleeve, he uses it and attacks him with every ounce of energy he has. Sundering Claws, Towering Flame, Megalith, "DIE DIE DIE!" More flurry of attacks, Hunter's Fang, Dancing Dual kick, Inevitable Calamity, "WHY WON'T YOU DIE!" He grabs Ragna and throws him, "DISAPPEAR!" Susanoo swipes his sword across the entire space, Ragna was still in one piece. "WHA-?! SHITHEAD! DIE WON'T YOU!" A giant beam of laser engulfs Ragna. Susanoo was suddenly grabbed by the neck, canceling the attack. "That won't work on me this time. It's over." Ragna had shielded himself by having the grimoire cover his entire body. It increased his durability tenfold and began walking casually in the laser. Ragna grinned and brought up a red mass to pin him in place. Ragna transformed his sword into a scythe one more time.
"How?! How can such a mere mortal achieve such godly prowess!" Susanoo trying to escape the red mass around him. Teeth started to form in it and sink into the God's body. Susanoo yelled in pain. "Fine, you wanna know my secret?" Ragna walks to him with a taunting grin, "Thing is, I never got stronger. You just got weaker...you used up all of your attacks began getting exhausted. Looks the God of Destruction has bad stamina. You were outrun by a mere mortal dumbass." Ragna raises his weapon. The red blade glowing brighter and brighter, "This is where you meet the end of the road..." Susanoo can only squirm. He began to feel fear.
"HUOOOGH!" Ragna's eyes glow and darkness covers the two. "I'LL SHOW YOU THE TRUE POWER OF THE AZURE!" He slashes Susanoo with repeated strikes, stealing both the life and power from him. Ragna's blade cracks, "Piece of shit's pretty hard...BLACK ZAGUM! NIGHTMARE RAGE!" A massacre of non-stop slashes fatally wounds the God. "This is it!" Ragna's scythe becomes one with his Grimoire and covers Ragna as well, his appearance resembling that of a grim reaper. "BLACK ONSLAUGHT!" One final slash.
Susanoo knew he was done for, so he left impressed and laughed in his final moments. "WELL DONE RAGNA-CHAN HYAHAHAHAHAH" Susanoo disintegrates into nothingness.
Astral Finish...
"There is no afterlife. Only the void." Ragna steadies himself, "Is it over?" He asks himself that question. He looks at his sword, it was cracked and beaten up. What surprised him, is that the ribbon was still intact. It was ripped a little but it was still tied to the hilt of his sword. "I'll come back. Just you wait." He had finally won. His first move was to get to the mesa and take Jin and Noel. He sees Jin and carries him by his shoulder, ripping apart Jin's long detached sleeves to carry his weapon. He sees Noel in the metallic rubble and takes her out of it. They were still breathing, "Holy shit. I'm glad that you guys are alive, but you have insane luck to live through all of that..." He had taken them to Celica's position.
Tager spots Ragna and sees that he's carrying both his siblings. He approaches Ragna to aid him. "The prime field left when she saw Rachel, I have no clue why but she ran away."
"Good, then she's not gonna be a pain in the ass for now." Ragna was relieved.
As they were brought to rest on the ground. When Tsubaki limped to check out Jin, she covered her mouth in horror at the sight of her friends. Jin's right arm was dislocated and unhinged, and his left was broken, his hand was crushed and his wrist was not in a straight line. Noel wasn't as bad as his, but she had multiple bruises on her head, and they were massive.
"Dear God..." Tager could only say those words in shock. He was almost speechless. Ragna sees Celica sitting down, catching her breath. She was fatigued from healing Nine, Rachel, and Tsubaki. She had a lot of wounds to heal. Nine was lucky to survive for she had gained too many wounds. Rachel's servants rushed to Ragna to inform him that she was okay. He thanks the two.
"I'll get Hakumen and master." Ragna ran off to search those two. He followed the tracks of where his master got hurled into. He sees marks that he bounced off of. He was thrown like a rock at a pond, except it was on land. He sees his master and rushed to get him. There was blood coming out of his head and some parts of his body, so he patched him up and carefully carried him. He proceeded to Hakumen's position and gently placed his master down. Ragna looks at Hakumen's face and the mask was cracked and damaged, It didn't reveal anything inside because this is literally Terumi's real body. He wonders that if it's cracked that bad, would he see half of it? Ragna picked him up and struggled a bit. "Jesus Christ, you're heavy." He takes his master and went to Tager's position.
"Everyone's now here." Ragna stands up and approaches the unconscious Rachel, "You're alright." He smiles and grabs the keystone. "Welp here goes nothing." He absorbs it and glows.
What they saw next, was a bright light...
