Chapter 8: Fated Reunion
Ragna: Is it just me and you Saya?
Saya: Yeah. The rest of them went somewhere else so it's just me and you brother.
Ragna: Alright. So I guess we'll recap.
*Saya smiles wide*
Saya: Your alive! I'm so glad!
Ragna: Yeah I owe that rabbit big time and that masked dick a much needed ass kicking.
Saya: Plus I got to bath with you!
Ragna: Uh… Oh yeah besides that you said you had something to say?
Saya: Oh yeah I did! Looks like the level of maturity is gonna be stepped up a bit. I'm excited that I don't need to hold myself back anymore!
Ragna: The hell does that mean?
Saya: You'll see exactly what I'm talking about soon. I promise I'll do the best I can.
Ragna: Wait what?
Saya: So let's get this started brother. I can't wait.
Ragna: Is it possible to be lost and a bit scared at the same time? I feel like something REALLY stupid is about to happen...
Saya: Let's get this chapter started!
Chapter 8: Fated reunion
Ragna's eyes twitches to the light of the sun that enters into his room from the curtains. He yawns a groggy yawn and curses to himself as he knew it in himself that he had to get up. However, something was different this morning. He felt his body was a little heavier than normal. He looks next to him he sees a lump in the sheets. He lifts the sheets to see a snoring Saya holding onto his arm.
"Why the hell is she in my room?" Ragna questions. He stares at Saya for a bit as he smiles and pats her head causing her to smile and giggle a bit. "Looks like I scared her so I guess it's ok."
He turns towards the clock to see it was 7:00. 'Well damn, as much as I'd love to sleep the day away it's time to get our asses in gear.' He sits up and lightly shakes Saya which earned him a groan from her. "Come on Saya, time to get up now."
"Wha…?" Saya groans as she slowly opened her eyes. She yawns and looks up at Ragna. "Good morning brother."
"Morning to you too Saya, but why are you in my bed?" Ragna asks.
"Well," Saya began as she sat up. "I just wanted to sleep in here for the night. Was that bad?"
"Na," Ragna pats her on the head "It's fine, I don't mind."
"Really!? Then I can sleep in here with you again!?" Saya asks in a vibrant tone.
"Yeah, that's fine."
"Yay!" Saya tackles him and hugs him. "Thank you brother! It's much more comfortable to sleep with you anyway." She says matter of factly.
"Alright Saya, come on." Ragna tries to get up but realizes he can't. He sees Saya holding him down as he looks up at her and asks "Um Saya, what are you doing?"
"No fair…" Saya mumbles under her breath.
"What are you talking about?" Saya inches closer to his face and gently puts her lips onto his as Ragna's eyes widen. Saya releases him as he says in an embarrassed and confused tone "S-Saya!? What are you…?"
"It's not fair that you kissed them, Rachel even Celica and I think it's my turn!" Saya quickly presses her lips against his again. He let out a long and surprised groan as her lips draped over his. Her lips massaged his in a rather aggressive manner. A few moans came from her as she started to move her head around as her tongue made it's way into his mouth.
As Saya had his lips and basically his entire mouth to her leisure he stared at her in silence as he couldn't move. He was still confused about what's going on as his brain couldn't process what was goin on. Even though what was going on was clear as day, he still couldn't wrap his mind around it.
'What the hell is going on!? She's my sister… But my body is moving on it's own…' Ragna unconsciously started to move his arms to Saya's shoulders, but did his best to hold himself back. 'Damn it she's my sister…! Ok. You know what? Fuck it.' Ragna grabs her shoulders and pushes her off of him as he gets on top of her.
"Ragna what— " before Saya could finish Ragna smashes his lips onto hers as she squeaks in surprise. He took no time and thrusts his tongue inside of her mouth. It didn't take Saya long to adjust as she wraps her arms around Ragna's neck and pulls him in closer. He drives his tongue deeper into her mouth as their head moved along with their dancing tongues.
Saliva began to run down their mouths as Ragna slightly separates his lips from hers with their tongues still intertwined with one another's. Ragna brings his lips back down onto hers as they continued on.
Her lips were soft and moist. Her tongue was enticing and succulent. The moans that emanated from her lips were just as sweet.
Ragna slowly separates from her and moves towards her neck. He began to plant soft kisses on her smooth flesh which earns him a moan from her.
"R-Ragna…" her face turns into a more lewd expression. Ragna keeps moving up and gently plants his lips onto hers. He thrusts his tongue deep inside her mouth to continue where he left off as they start to taste each other once more.
The kiss didn't last too much longer as he slowly releases her a minute later lips. A string of saliva ran from his tongue down to hers as it soon snapped. Saya caresses his cheeks gently as not a single word was spoken as time seemed to have come to a halt around them. The silence was broken by a still gasping Saya. "Brother…what was that?"
"You tell me…" Ragna says as he tries to catch his breath.
"I don't really know how to answer that…" Saya says.
"Why did you just kiss me out of the blue like that?" Ragna asks. "I think I deserve an explanation…" 'I mean seriously… What a weird way to wake up…'
"I guess… I was jealous." Saya says.
"I'm still confused, what do you mean by "jealous"?"
"W-Well," Saya began as she started to fidget with her fingers. Her face turned a deeper shade of red as she went on. "You kissed Rachel already and kissed Celica, worst off you kissed her right in front of me. I just didn't want to be left out. Also…"
"Also?"
"When I saw you lying in the street, I thought you left me. I was scared to death and shocked to see you like that. I thought I would never be able to talk to you again, but when I found out you were alive I was so happy! I guess all my excitement, anxiety and fear just came out." Saya says.
"Well that was a weird way to let out your distress…" Ragna says.
"I'm sorry for that. I hope your not too angry with me."
"It's ok, I'm still surprised, but I'm not mad or anything. You should know by now I could never be angry with you." Saya looks at him as he continues. "Well I guess I should apologize to you too, but let's just keep what happened between us alright. Don't want Kagura or even worse Makoto to hear about this. But..."
"But?"
"I'm a little curious…" Ragna blushes a bit as he recalls how fiercely Saya kissed him. "Where did you learn how to do that?"
"Um…well I watched a show late at night one time and I really got into it and ended up watching the whole thing from beginning to end in one sitting." Saya's whole face turns crimson as Ragna asked.
"What kind of show was that?" 'I don't think I've ever heard of a show that teaches a girl how to kiss. Either I've been living under a rock or I DEFINITELY missed something.'
"It was a romantic drama called "The maids of Ikaruga"." Saya says.
"That makes way too much sense. Why were you watching something like that?" Ragna asks.
"Well it was a little hard to watch at first, but the drama made it so good I just had to continue to see what happened next!"
'I didn't expect Saya of all people to like a sleazy, erotic show like that. I mean that show has an M rating and is recommended for 21 year olds and above to watch. Even with that the show is way too much for some people, I can't believe she watched the whole thing.' Ragna thinks to himself as he recalls watching it one time. Sure it was interesting, but with all the embarrassing crap that goes on it was hard to watch.
He moves off of her as she gets up and moves her face closer to his ear. Her cheeks was just as red as Tsubaki's hair as she asks him a rather lewd and alluring tone. "Brother how was I? Did you like it?"
Ragna's face turns a crimson red. He looks at her and stutters a bit. "Um…you mean the kiss?"
Saya nods and says as the words run off her tongue "Yes, so how was I?"
"Um why are you asking me that?" Ragna asks as he feels his face starts to get hotter. 'And in THAT tone!? The hell are you trying to pull first thing in the morning!?'
"Well the reaction you had was a little surprising. It looked to me you liked it." Ragna recalls what he did and curses himself out.
'Oh shit! I lost control of myself on my fucking sister! The hell is wrong with me!?'
"So did it feel good?" Saya asks.
"Well um," Ragna began to stutter though his words as he tried his best to form a sentence. "It was good…um…" as he tries to find the right words to try not to make the situation any weirder he says as calmly as he can. "Yeah I can't say I didn't like it…"
Saya puts her finger on his lips and smiles. "Well I'm glad you liked it."
'Saya, I've gotta monitor what the hell you watch from now on. Your sexual levels are going through the damn roof right now. I didn't think I'd have to put parental controls on my TV, but HELL. Crazy shit happens…' Ragna thinks to himself as Saya gave him a little peck on the lips and smiles.
"I love you Ragna."
"A'whaaaaa!?"
"You heard me. I want you all to myself." She presses her lips against his as she begins to take a more offensive approach. Saya starts to push him back on the bed as she smirks and starts to suck on his tongue.
'Holy shit… This is getting way too out of control... Damn my hormones!' Ragna thinks to himself. He drives his tongue in her mouth and wraps his arms around her body. She runs her fingers around his chest and down to his abs.
Saya slowly releases him and licks her lips. 'I don't know if I can control myself around her when she's like this. I think I've gotta block some shows…' Ragna thinks to himself.
Saya smiles and gets off of him. "Come on, let's go."
Ragna nods and puts a pair of pants on. He found that he had no words to say to this situation. It was so strange and so unexpected. He starts to walk out the room, but before they reached the door Saya wrapped her arms around her neck. "Brother I want to do this again."
"Saya, what happened to you?" Ragna wonders.
"I'm just taking the more offensive approach, and it seems to be working."
'Oh yeah it is! It's workijg alright! It's working a little TOO well goddammit!"
She begins to gently caresses his check. "I'm ready for you anytime."
'Holy shit…' Ragna gulps as his face turns red. 'What the hell happened over night?'
The two walk down the halls. Ragna was still a bit dazed from what just happened. 'What a weird ass way to start off my morning. To hot tongue kiss your sister, that's a way to walk you up.' As they get closer and closer to the bathroom they hear the shower going.
"I guess someone's in there already?" Saya knocks on the door and hears Makoto's voice. "Oh it's you Makoto. Good morning."
The pipe turns off as they hear the door unlock. They step back a little as Makoto comes out with a towel wrapped around her "Good morning Saya!" she looks to see Ragna standing next to her and rushes back in the bathroom. As quickly as she went in she came right back out dressed in school uniform "Ragna, did you see anything!?" a dark aura emitted from her body as she gave Ragna a rather creepy glare that would give death itself a run for it's money.
"Nope!" Ragna says in a scared voice and scratches the back of his head. "No! I saw nothing, um too revealing…"
"At least you didn't see anything important. Alright you two can go in now." Makoto walks by them and heads down stairs. The two siblings brush their teeth and get on their school uniform as Ragna gets his red jacket and sword and Saya gets her swords they go down stairs to see everyone waiting for them.
"I guess we woke up the latest." Saya looks at the time too see it was 7:25.
'I don't think that's it Saya…' Ragna thinks to himself.
"Morning to both of you. You two sleep well?" Kagura asks as they nod. "Well of course you slept well Ragna." Kagura snickers. "You had your cute sister as a body pillow, lucky bastard."
"Goddammit not this early in the fucking morning Kagura!" Ragna says in an agitated voice. 'And it was WAY more then a body pillow. BUT. You don't need to know that.'
"Oh so that's where she was last night. I didn't see her in her room, so she was with you." Tsubaki says.
"I only found out about that this morning. Didn't know she came in my room last night." 'But I fucking know now! The evidence is all over my damn face!'
"Yeah, I kinda just walked in and made myself comfortable." Saya says.
"So how was your morning?" Rachel asks. "There seemed to be a lot of noise coming from your room."
'Shit… Come on Ragna think!'
"Pretty good. Ragna was just surprised to see me their and fell off the bed." Saya says.
"Oh really now?"
'Never mind. Little sis got me covered. Good.'
"Well it's not like he has many brain cells to work with so I'm not worried about him." Rachel starts to walk out the door. A vein pops up on Ragna's head as he stomps after her.
"Why do you keep trying to piss me off!?"
"Why you ask?" Rachel giggles. "I do it because it's fun and you always have these amusing reactions."
"One of these days rabbit, one of these days you'll get what's coming to you." Ragna closes the door after the rest of them walk out.
"Oh really?" Rachel chuckles a bit. "Well, I'll be looking forward to that day."
"This woman is unbelievable. Still, I don't understand why not just pick on Kagura?" Ragna sighs.
"First of all, leave me out of this and secondly she bothers you because she likes you." Kagura says. Rachel looks at him with a murderous glare as he continues. "I mean haven't you ever heard that if a girl likes you they want to tease you? I mean you two get a long like a married couple anyway so just by gones be by gones and go at it already."
"That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! Now shut up you perverted dog!" Rachel snarls.
"Whatever, I'm just preaching what's in your hearts."
"No. Your preaching what's in your pants." Makoto retorts.
"You know it babe." Kagura winks.
"Ugh! You are FOUL!"
"For the last time we are not in love and I will never be in love with that barbarian over there!" Rachel says in an irritated tone as she started to walk a little faster.
"Great," Ragna groans "Now she's gonna take that anger out on me."
"She's just in denial. Give it some time." Kagura smirks and nudges his shoulder.
"For the last time, I do not love that annoying rabbit. All she does his piss me off, hasn't changed since we were younger. Always finding ways to get on my goddamn nerves!" he snarls. Ragna looks towards Rachel. 'My god, why can't they just get the message.'
They finally make it to school as they walk in to see the bulletin board has something new posted on to it. Tsubaki looks at it as she calls the rest of them over to where she is. Tsubaki points to the bulletin. "What the hell is this?" Jin asks.
Tsubaki read it out loud. "A new program has been added to the school. In this new program students will wear what they are most comfortable to fight in as they compete in battles daily. This is how it works, students are given a number and a certain amount of points. The higher the points the higher their rank as said for the opposite. This gives students a chance to test their own abilities against others anytime during the school days.
-by the teacher faculty."
"Ok so I come back to see our school is turned into a battle ground." Ragna shrugs. "Well I guess school uniform is gone now. Works for me. I hated it."
"This is great! I can beat up my frustrations on others, hell yeah!" Makoto pumps her fists high in the air. Tsubaki looks at her and sighs. 'That's why she's excited. Wow Makoto…'
"So I guess we get changed?" Jin says.
"Wait I can't fight! What am I suppose to do!?" Celica says in worry.
"Don't worry Celica. If anyone wants to fight you, which I doubt it, I've got your back." Ragna says.
"Really!? Thank you Ragna!" Celica smiles.
"No problem, also I doubt anyone would want to fight you. They're all too scared of what Nine would do to them if they hurt you."
"True enough." Kokonoe agrees.
"Hehe! My mother." Celica smiles.
They all walk towards the locker rooms to get dressed besides Kokonoe, Saya, Tsubaki and Celica since they have nothing to change into. They all finish changing and go back upstairs to their class. As they walk in Nine leans back on her chair and greets them. "Well it seems like you're all back."
"Yeah, but this new policy...?" Ragna started.
"I'll tell you all after class during break, for now just take a seat." she motions them to sit down as they all walk to their respective seats. "Ok let's continue with the lesson." As class goes on as they discuss the Ikaruga Civil war Ragna felt a little dizzy.
'The hell? Why do I feel so sleepy…?' Ragna holds his head with his hand and lightly smacked himself to keep himself awake. The drowsiness soon passed as he shacked his head. 'What the hell was that…?'
"Ok now, in the Ikaruga Civil war they actually had planned out maps of the enemy stronghold and defenses. This made it easier to plan their next attack. Now can someone hit the lights for me." A man with black spiky hair stood up "I've got this!" he walks over to the lights and punches it. The kids start to chuckle as Nine rubs her temples. She points to the door "Jira get the fu—get the fuck out."
The bell finally rings as she sighs. Nine claps her hands to get their attention. "Alright everyone, the announcement of the ranking battles will be made after break so I hope you all have something to fight in." They all start to get their books in order up as some classmates start to walk out the room. Celica notices Ragna looking a little dizzy and walks over to him. "Hey Ragna," she speaks in a caring tone. "Are you ok?"
"Oh yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry, come on let's go get something to eat." Ragna gets up and grabs his sword from the side of his desk and sheaths it.
"Alright if you really are feeling ok, but if not just tell me ok."
"Ok." Ragna says as they make their way to the cafeteria and get their lunch. They walk into the cafeteria to get their lunch. Makoto sees an empty table as they all go to sit.
"Now Nine," Jin turns to Nine and asks. "Do you mind telling us what this ranking system is about?"
"Oh right. Well I put this together for you all." Nine says.
"Wait, for us?" Kagura asks in confusion.
"Yeah. After "convincing" the teacher body to accept my proposal—"
"You threatened them didn't you?" Ragna cuts her off and rubs his temples
"Brutally." She says with pride.
Ragna raises a brow "What the hell did you say?"
"Do you really want to know what I said?" Nine asks.
"Good point. Continue." 'Knowing her she probably threatened to burn them at the stake.'
"Well as you all know you guys have the responsibility to destroy these fractured worlds, but I can't have you go in half cocked. So I thought some battle practice would work out for all of you. As for you Celica don't worry, Kokonoe and I are getting something for you to use to fight back at home. For now try to avoid any fights."
"Ok mother." Celica nods.
"So you put this together to train us basically." Ragna tries to get a clearer understanding of this.
"Well yes. The incident the other day had me thinking." Ragna remembers what happened to him.
"Tch. Don't remind me. That masked son of a bitch was way too powerful," Ragna grits his teeth as his expression turns into a small scowl. "I couldn't even scratch the guy."
"That's to be expected from a man who fought and defeated the Black Beast. I've met him already but something seemed off about him." Nine says as Jin asks curiously "What would that be?"
"Hearing the stories about him, I expected him to be on stronger than he is now, but he had about the same strength as Jubei… But with Jubei running into her I can't really say that…"
"Her?" Kagura raises a brow as she caught Nine mumbling.
"It's nothing. But back to Hakumen." Nine sighs and looks up at the ceiling. "Maybe old age got to him?"
"Well no it's not old age and doubt he aged a day while inside the boundary. Right now, because of being sealed in there for so long most of the power he once possessed is gone and now he's only at about 25% of his full power. If he was at full power, Ragna wouldn't last a second." Rachel says.
"Are you kidding me "25%"! I couldn't land a single hit on him! Your telling me he was holding back!?" Ragna's voice was filled with frustration and disbelief. After how he was beaten he was holding back on him. That was a little hard to believe. Kinda kills a man's confidence.
"Against you I'd say he used around 10% of his strength to subdue you." Rachel says as the whole tables goes silent. The silence was broken by a slam on the table. They look to see it was Ragna.
"Are you fucking kidding me…! You call that holding back!? Guy turned me into sushi and left me out to dry!"
"Ragna, whatever you do try to avoid coming into contact with him again." Rachel says as Ragna grits his teeth.
"Damn it all to hell…" Ragna started to feel a bit dizzy again. "What the hell is…" he wobbles a little as his head comes down onto the table.
"Brother!" Saya gasps as she shakes him. "Brother! Oh my god!" she says in a worried voice "Ragna! Are you ok!? Ragna!"
"Do not fret child he is alright. We are just being called. You should feel dizzy soon as well. I would advise you all find a comfortable place that when you wake ack up your head will jot be hurting you." Rachel says.
As soon as she says that everyone besides Nine felt a sudden urge to sleep. Their visions grow black as they all pass out. Nine looks at them and sighs "So it's time."
Ragna awakens to find himself floating in an empty white void. "Ok come on! I can't even eat without something stupid happening!" as he looks around he hears someone calling his name. He turns to see who it is as he sees Saya and the rest of them floating towards him.
"Ragna!"
"What the hell? Saya, Kagura? Wait all of you are here too, even you rabbit? The hells going on?"
"We were all called here."
"By who?" Noel asks.
"By me." A voice says as the turn around to see a giant machine with a blue insignia on the front with spikes emanating pulses of red energy.
"Holy shit! On a fuck sandwich what the hell is that!?" Ragna questioned.
"Holy fuck!" Kagura looks in awe at the giant machine in front of them.
Ragna turns to Rachel and asks "Rachel who the hell is this!?"
"I am the master unit: Amaterasu." the voice says as Kokonoe says in shock.
"Wait what!? Hell no, you said that the master unit or whatever lives in the boundary or some crap like that."
"Well yes, I am still in the boundary, but I'm speaking to you all telepathically." Amaterasu says as they look at him still stunned from what their seeing.
"You know… Normally I would question something like that, but with all the shit that been going on, I'd believe in anything."
"Are you really the master unit!?" Kagura asks.
"Yes young pervert."
"Come on, really man…"
"Ok so your in our heads, what do you want?" Jin asks.
"I'm just here to give you all fair warning." he says in a serious tone. "Danger lurks over you, Ragna the Bloodedge."
"That name again. Who the hell is Bloodedge!?" Ragna asks.
"You will learn in due time, but for now listen well." he continues in a concerned tone. "The Dark Susanoo is making his move, please everyone be on alert."
"Dark Susan—Wait do you mean Terumi!?" Ragna says as anger and hatred builds inside of him.
"Yes. Right now it seems he has this city under a large scale phenomenon intervention. I just want you all as the entitled to be careful of your surroundings." Amaterasu says.
"The hell is phenomenon intervention?" Kokonoe asks.
"Phenomenon intervention is when someone interferes with the events of this world and changes it to their own liking." a voice says as Izanami appears in front of them.
"Oh it's you." Celica says.
"Wait so this phenomenon intervention thing what is that?" Kagura asks, trying to get back on topic as Izanami continues.
"Yes, phenomenon intervention is interfering with events of this world like I said early. This happened to Ragna 2 weeks ago if you can recall." as they all recall what happened they come to the realization of what she meant.
"Are you saying this Terumi guy caused it?" Noel asks as Izanami nods. She continues and looks at Ragna.
"Ragna, do you remember if anything weird happened to you? You felt an odd sensation, or did you do something you wouldn't normally do?"
"Nothing comes to mind…? Wait…actually yeah. Now that I think about it I did do something odd." Ragna says as he remembers that he went home without Jin and Saya. "I had this urge that I needed to go home as quickly as I could. Also Rachel, Jin, Celica and Nine took a while so I left."
"How does that make sense? Wait yeah, I also felt something weird." Jin continues. "I have no idea why but the faculty asked us to carry a bunch of books up to the library. Never even seen those types of books before. Also the way they acted was like they were stalling us almost."
"Yes, even something as small and ridiculous as that can be taken without notice." Izanami says.
"I knew something was wrong. To think that it would effect even me…" Rachel mumbles to herself.
"That's why I'm telling you all to be careful and be mindful of your surroundings. Even someone such as you was effected. Even Izanami was effected by it and ran into a certain mage. We must not underestimate the enemy." Amaterasu says.
"Listen to me all of you, especially you Ragna. You must not let your guards down and beware of Yukki Terumi and Relius Clover. Also be very careful of the azure in your possession as you know what will happen if you lose control of it."
"Relius. Clover? I feel like I know who that is…" Ragna says to himself. "Alright, thanks for the warning. I'll be careful."
"Relius Clover…" Noel feels strange as her body starts to shake.
"Noellers what's wrong are you ok?" Makoto asks as she sees Noel shaking.
"Yeah," Noel forces a smile. "I-I'm ok." She tries to get a grip on herself, but that name rang in her head like a bell. It was unforgettable, but she doesn't even know who this man was. 'Relius… Clover… Why does that name worry me so much?'
Ragna looks at Saya and notices she was shaking. He taps on her shoulder and asks in a concerned voice. "Saya are you ok? Do you know him?"
"No I'm ok, I don't know what came over me. It's just that name sends a shiver down my spine…" Saya says as she snaps herself out of it.
"Ok, but if there's something wrong just tell me."
"Ok." Saya says as Ragna faces Izanami.
"Again, thanks for the advice."
"No need for thanks." Izanami says.
"No need to lie Izanami. I know how you really feel, you actually care about his safety don't you?" Amaterasu says.
"Oh," Rachel looks at her with mild disbelief and a but of curiosity. "Well that's interesting."
"I will see you all at a later date." Izanami says calmly.
"I have one more gift for you all. Also give my regards to Konoe and Jubei." Amaterasu says as he starts to glow. They were all blinded by the light he was emitting and as soon as they open their eyes they find themselves back in school.
"I see you all are finally awake." Nine says as she sees them all open their eyes.
"Ah damn it my neck…" Kagura groans as he cracks his neck. "And I thought the desks were bad pillows…" he let out a pained groan and says in a casual tone. "Well the Master unit says hi. He also said something about phenomenon intervention. You know anything about that?"
"So that's what this feeling is. Sorry Ragna it was faint, but I did feel like something was wrong. Even if it was small I should've said something." Nine sighs and continues. "So you all met Amaterasu?"
"Yeah, we talked to him. Fucker was a giant machine, I expected god to be this old guy with a long beard." Ragna says as he also remembers Izanami's words. 'Relius. Clover.'
"Well, you shouldn't be effected as much by phenomenon intervention anymore." Rachel says as Noel looks to her and asks.
"How come?"
"Do you remember that light? Well that light was a kind of barrier against outside intervention." Rachel says.
"Well enough about that. There is something that I need to tell you all." Nine says as they all look at her as she continues. "Another fractured world has opened up and I need you all to go in and destroy it. It's located right outside the arsmagus boarding docks."
"That was quick!" Makoto says in shock.
"I put up a detection barrier around this city and other cities as well, so this will make finding them easier. Destroying them however depends on your ability. After the school day ends I want you all to go to the location of the distortion and destroy it."
"Alright, at least we're ready this time around." Tsubaki says as they all nod.
"So Ragna," Nine turns to him and asks in a cautious tone. "Are you up for this?"
"Don't worry I'm fine. I can't puss out now."
"Glad to hear it. Well I think that's everything. I'll teleport you all after school so meet me in the school yard so we can get this mission under way."
Just like that the school day passes by and they all meet up in front of the school after everyone left. Nine prepares a transportation circle for them. "Ok are you all ready? I'm going to teleport you now." Nine asks as they nod. "Ok good luck." once she says that they disappear. Nine sighs and turns around to see someone standing in the doorway of the school. "Look who finally decided to come back."
"Sorry, but I heard those kids are going to keep up the fight so I had to see them off. My healing could wait for that." the gruff voice says.
"Yes, let's just their successful this time around. That bastard needs to pay for what he's done."
"Let's just hope so and pray that nothing bad happens to 'em. In the mean time Nine how about you and I go home and have a few "rounds" if you know what mean." the voice walks out towards the magician.
"You need your rest…" Nine blushes.
"And I'd like to rest on those perfect breasts of yours."
"You are still one dirty cat aren't you?" Nine smirks as a short figure walks towards her in an orange hoddie and a sword on his back.
"You know you like it."
"Oh man!" Kokonoe jumps.
"What is it Kokonoe?" Tsubaki asks.
"I don't know… I got a shiver down my spine. Like something really odd is happening…"
"Thats pretty vague. What is it?" Tsubaki asks.
"I've got a feeling I'll find out when I get home. And I'm not happy about it…"
"Ok that's enough. Let us get back on topic." Rachel says.
"Ok so this is the place?" Makoto says as she looks around to try and find the distortion. As they look around Kagura sees something weird as he points to an space that looks like it's twisting. The group turns towards it and walks a little closer. Ragna's azure starts to react to it as he says.
"This is it."
"Come now let us make haste and finish this, I am quite famished. Ragna when we get home you will make me dinner." Rachel says. Ragna flips her off as he tells her to piss off as they walk into the distortion. As they walk in they feel a little weird and look around to see that they're in a forest.
"Ok so the distortion was in the arsmagus transport boarding area and now we're in a forest?" Noel says as they look around to see nothing but trees.
"No use bitching about it. Come on let's go." Kokonoe says as they start to walk through the forest. What felt like 10 minutes of walking aimlessly they finally come to a town.
"Hey isn't that one of Kagutsuchi small towns?" Saya points out.
"Yeah look, Kagutsuchi is just in the distance." Kokonoe says as she points to a city in the distance.
"To come from Akitsu to Kagutsuchi. These fractured worlds are weird." Tsubaki says.
"Ok, I'm taking a stab in the dark here saying the distortion is somewhere in this town? Lets go searching." Makoto says as she runs off in the direction of the town as the rest follow.
Ragna was about to take off, but was halted as he felt something tugging on his jacket. He turns around and looks to see it was Rachel pulling on him and asks in an annoyed tone. "What happened? Come on let's go rabbit."
"Carry me."
"What?"
"I said carry me. I cannot run in these shoes."
"Then don't where those fucking shoes!"
"No, now carry me or I will fry that tiny little brain of yours." Rachel says as electricity gathers in the palm. Ragna sighs.
"Fine, fine! Come on get on." he stoops down to let Rachel on his back. She climbs on Ragna and properly asserted herself on his back. He runs after them towards the city 'Huh, never realized this, but she smells really nice. It's just like her rose garden.' He thinks to himself. He shakes the thought out of his head. 'Come on got to focus!'
"Ragna. If you dare try and get a feel of my rear I shall kill you where you stand."
"What!? I wasn't gonna! Calm your ass down!"
"Now you are just asking for it."
"Oh come on that wasn't a pun or on purpose!" 'It kinda was, but she doesn't need to know that. Damn I'm good!'
As they make their way to the entrance they look back to see Ragna carrying Rachel on his back. "Now is not the time to deepen your relationship."
"I'm not trying to deepen anything! She can't run in the shoes she has." Ragna says as they look at her boots.
"Then why did she wear them?" Makoto asks.
Ragna sighs and let's Rachel down "Fucking ask this stupid rabbit. But let's do that later. For now though let's go find whatever this distortion is."
"Before you all go let me say this. The one who distorts this space doesn't necessarily need to be a person, it could be an object. Keep that in mind." Rachel says as they nod.
"Ok, Ragna's azure should be able to detect it so let's look around. But if you all see anything strange, let us know immediately. Send some kind of signal and we'll all come running." Kokonoe says as they spread out into two groups. One group consisting of Ragna, Tsubaki, Makoto, Jin and Noel and the other group is Kagura, Saya, Celica, Kokonoe and Rachel.
Unknown to the rest of them a tall man was watching them in the distance. "Hehehe, Ragna your still alive and kicking huh? Oh well just as the saying goes, if you can't get something done right you have to do it yourself." the tall man starts to walk towards the town. He chuckles a bit "Oh this will be a glorious reunion. Isn't that right Ragna!? Hehehehe… Hahahaha… HAHAHAHA!"
Ragna, Makoto, Tsubaki, Jin and Noel walk through the crowded streets. Looking around for anything suspicious. Their search turned fruitless and uneventful as not a single disturbance was spotted. After what felt like fifteen minutes of no luck Jin turns to Ragna and asks. "Hey brother, did your azure react to anything yet?"
"No, not yet…" Ragna sits down on a bench and thinks to himself how the others are doing. "So you think the others got any luck yet?"
"I'm not sure, but we've only covered half of the western side of this place." Noel says.
Ragna sighs and looks up to the sky "Damn it all… You know this might be a little late to say this, but does this feel right destroying a whole world?"
"It doesn't feel right, but if we don't all the worlds will be destroyed. In a way we're saving them." Tsubaki says. "But your right. That thought has been running rampant in my mind for quite some time."
"I thought I was the only one, but remember what Ms. Rachel said. We can't let Terumi have his way." Noel smiles. "Besides Ragna you won't be alone."
"Yeah," Ragna smiles at her "Yeah I know. Thanks Noel."
Noel's cheeks turn a little pink as she starts to fidget with her fingers "I-It's ok you don't need to thank me Ragna."
"Ha," Makoto smiles. "You loove him, don't you Noellers? How cute! My little Noel is growing up."
"No it's not like that Makoto!" Noel pouts. Ragna couldn't help but laugh a bit. He gets up off the bench and stretches
"Alright then, come on let's keep moving. We have to find it sooner or later."
"I just hope its sooner. I'm starving!" Makoto rubs her stomach.
"I cant believe you," Tsubaki looks at her and sighs "Even in a situation like this all you can think about is food…"
"We've known her for a while now Tsubaki. We gotta expect this from her." Jin says. Makoto marches off as the rest follow behind. Ragna's mind runs back to the others.
'I hope they've got better luck than us.'
Saya, Rachel, Kagura, Kokonoe and Celica walk through the streets. They haven't had any luck of anything out of the ordinary. Saya let out a disappointed sigh as they walked. "I wish I went with Ragna. I wonder if they found something."
"I doubt it." Kokonoe sighs and looks around to see people gathering around. "Look over there seems to be a commotion."
"Well, let's check it out. It might be something useful." Celica says as they start to walk over to the crowd. They push to the front to see a woman and child lying in the street covered in blood. They look at the scene as Kagura covers his mouth a nose with his hand.
"Holy...shit…!"
"Does this count…?" Saya looks down at the two victims in disgust. She felt like she was going to throw up from the smell of blood. Celica's body was shaking as Kagura turns to her.
"Celica, maybe you should take a step back from this."
"N-No… I'm ok Kagura." She slaps her cheeks, trying to get back in her right mind.
"Ok now is this the kind of fucked up shit your talking about?" Kokonoe looks at the mutilated bodies in disgust.
"Yes, I guess this counts." Rachel looks around and sees a man walking away from the scene. "A man walking away from a death scene just raises suspicion, now doesn't it?" Rachel motions them to follow her. They push past the crowd as they followed the man. They didn't try to disguise themselves as it only wasted time. After waking a good distance from the crowd the turns around to them.
"Why the hell are you people following me?"
"We were just a little suspicious of you. Did you murder those people?" Saya asks as she sees the man smiles as he starts to laugh. "What's so funny?"
"What's funny is that a couple of brats think I committed murder." the man snaps his finger. Several people appear out of nowhere wearing black cloaks that cover their faces. "But it's not like you were wrong, but your not right either."
"I knew this town was familiar. It's over run by this gang of thieves and bandits. They terrorize little towns like these and orchestrated a large syndicate under the eyes of the NOL. Their growing in numbers everyday and the situation with these guys are so bad the NOL doesn't even consider investigating, saying it's too dangerous." a large black sword appears in Kagura's hand. Saya draws her blades as they both get into a stance.
"Celica get back." Kokonoe says.
"So are these guys the ones distorting this space or not?" Kagura asks.
"No. These are just some barbaric thieves." Rachel summons lightning in her hand. Saya points her blades at them
"So then let's finish this quickly and rejoin Ragna."
"Get 'em boys!" the man says as the cloaked men rushes towards them as the men take out small knives. Kagura raises his sword to block the attack and pushes the attack off him. He sends a bone cracking kick to the cloaked thieves stomach as he is flown back and comes down hard onto a few crates.
Four thieves rush toward Saya and Kokonoe. Two thieves rush Saya as she charges towards the two and meets them half way. She swings her sword up and deflects the incoming attack. She kicks the thief in his side as he slides on the floor and is knocked unconscious.
The second thief tried to sneak up on Saya and swings his knives at her neck. Right when the tip touched her neck Saya quickly ducks, dodging the fatal blow and turns around and slashes the cloaked mans throat. He falls down with a thud as twirls her blades and sheaths them.
Kokonoe takes out a giant drill hammer as she jumps over the thief and hits the both with incredible force, slamming the two of them on the wall next to them as they made a crater upon impact.
"Know your place." Rachel summons a massive winds. The wind picks them up and throws them high in the sky as they come crashing down into some crates.
"You bastards!" the thief says as he tries to run. Kagura rushes up to him and grabs him by the neck and slams him to the floor into unconsciousness. "Well that was annoying." Kagura's sword fades away as he looks down at the man he just slammed to the ground.
Saya's ears tingle as she hears some quick footsteps as she looks to see someone running away. "Should we chase him?"
"No," Kokonoe shakes her head. "All we did was waste our fucking time with this shit." Kokonoe's hammer shrinks into a small box as she puts it into her pocket. "Come on let's keep looking."
"I wonder if Ragna and Jin ran into trouble like this." Celica wonders as they continue to walk onwards. "I hope they're all ok."
"Hey brother, anything yet?" Jin wonders.
"No, still nothing. Damn it all, where is this stupid thing?" as he says that his azure reacts as Ragna runs off as they follow. "Well I'll be fucking damned. Send a signal to the rest of them Tsubaki!" Ragna says as Tsubaki sends a ball of light up into the sky.
"Ragna what happened!? You picked up on something?" Noel asks as she runs behind him. Ragna turns his head to her.
"The azure just started to react to something. It could be and the only way to make sure is to check it out." as they run they see to see a man running away as Ragna sees a dark aura emanating from him.
"I think we found our guy! Hey wait up damn it!" Makoto says as the man in a black cloak looks back at them. They look to see Kagura and the rest of them running towards them from behind. They catch up to them as Kagura asks.
"Ok, so we got your signal! Is that the guy?"
"Yeah it is." Ragna answers.
"Isn't that the guy who ran away from us?" Saya says.
"Yeah, it is. Let's just finish him off and go home." Rachel summons wind under the man and throws him out the city gate as he lands with a thud.
"Got him." Makoto says.
As the man quickly gets up he starts to emit a dark aura. "Damn you…"
"Just like that imposter Nine. Yep this is definitely the one." Makoto says. The cloaked man snaps his fingers, multiple men in cloaks show up and surrounds them. "I don't know who the hell you people are, but I will make you pay for what you did to my brother!"
"Ok what the hell did you all do?" Ragna asks as he looks at Kagura.
"We might've beat up some of his guys and his brother might've been one if them." Kagura says in a casual tone of voice.
"You're shitting me… I thought with Rachel around you she would stop this kind of crap from happening." Ragna growls as he draws his blade from his waist.
"Wait a minute what the hell is that suppose to mean!?" Kagura says as he gets into a stance. "Oh I ge it," Kagura smirks. "So she wears the pants in your relationship since she has to keep you under control huh?"
"What!?" Ragna snarls at him. "You want a piece of this!?"
Jin looks at both of them and says in agitation. "Can we focus here!" As they all get ready to fight the man yells.
"Alright men charge!"
"Great 30 on 8 real fair!" Ragna groans. "Celica get back!" He runs up to meet one of the thieves as he ducks to avoid an attack on his neck as he slashes upward, but he manages to dodge. Ragna closes in on him and surround his fist in a deep darkness. "Hells Fang!"he punches him in the stomach as he flies back into two his friends. Three more start to come after him, but before they could get closer they were all frozen in their tracks. "Thanks for the back up there Jin."
"No problem." Jin says as another cloaked man ran up to him. Jin parries his attack and slashes downwards as he collapses. "Hmph. These guys aren't even worth the energy."
As four men surrounded Makoto and Saya they all charge towards the two girls as the two run to intercept them. Makoto jumps up to avoid the attack as she deliver a swift kick to his face as the other cloaked thief tried to run up behind her. Makoto quickly turns around and uses her tonfas to block the attack. As he tries to force her down Makoto pushes him off her as she deliver a bone shattering punch to his stomach as he's knocked unconscious.
Two men charged towards Saya as they both simultaneously try to attack her from above and below. Saya throws one of her blades at the thief as it hit him directly in his chest and turns around to meet the next attacker. "Die!" He yells and strike upwards. Saya dodges the slash as she kicks the man in the face and the other thief lands next to her. She pulls her blade from his chest and looks to see them both unconscious.
As six thieves tried to gang up on Rachel she raises her hand as a strong gust of wind takes them and throws them all in the air as they crash towards the ground with incredible force.
Kagura runs into a whole group of them, taking them down one by one. Some of thieves tried to attack from above, but they were shot down by Noel. One manages to escape his sight and appears behind him, but before he could land the fatal blow a sigil appears on him and blew up. Kagura turns around to see what happened as he looks to the ground to see an unconscious cloaked man with a giant hole in his shirt. "Thanks Noel I owe you one!"
As the last few rush towards Tsubaki she turn her small dagger into a whip like weapon as she ties one of the thieves together and uses him as a battering ram as to knock the other off their feet. She sends them towards Kokonoe as she takes her huge hammer out and swings it like a baseball bat, sending them all flying. With only the leader left Ragna points his blade towards him. "Alright asshole, your turn."
"No! You will never take me down you bastards!" his eyes start to glow red as strange marking start to appear on his body as he's surrounded by a dark aura. "Uoooooooh"
"Strange markings, red eyes, paler skin and murderous voice? Yep, found him!" Kagura says.
"I'll kill you all and mount your flesh on my wall!" the thief said as his voice turned into a more callous tone full of malice.
"Compared to Nine this is nothing! Lets make this quick!" Makoto says as they all begin to charge towards him. But before they got close enough multiple huge green snakes appeared out of the ground and surrounded him.
"What!?" Tsubaki says surprised as the snakes start to choke him. He tries with all his might to free himself, but the snakes just start choking him even tighter. As they noticed he stopped moving they see his body start to fade as only the black gaseous ball remains.
"What the fuck was that?" Ragna gasped.
"That would be yours truly." a mysterious voice says as they all look around for who's voice that was. A tall man starts to emerge from the shadows. He looks to Ragna and smiles. "It's been a while Rags how you doing?"
Ragna looks to see a man in a black hat and jacket with a black vest white shirt and black tie. "Who the hell are you!?" He asks as he points his blade towards the mysterious man. "And what the hell do you mean it's been a while? I've met you." 'What the hell is with all this frickin' malice…? Wait… This feeling… I know it…'
"Oh Rags have you really forgotten about me? We have such a history." the man says as he slowly takes off his hat to reveal his face. Ragna gets a good look at the man standing before him. He had green spiky hair that shot up on his head. His eyes resembled that of a venomous snake and his smile was sickening. Ragna remembers him well. Memories of his childhood come flowing back to him. A wave of anger and rage washed over him. His voice was filled with malice as he calls out his name.
"TERUMI!"
"Don't you know it stumpy. The one and only! But how's your arm doing? Oh wait, it was me who chopped that off right? Did you miss me?" Terumi snickers. "Oh that's right your in school now right? How's your grades? I hope your keeping up with your studies. Wouldn't want to disappoint your parents now would you?"
"YOU BASTATD!" a switch was flipped in his head as he charges towards the tall man. He jumps up high in the air and strikes downward. Terumi jumps up as the blow creates a small crater in the ground.
"Come on Rags. It's been 10 years, where's the love?" Terumi grins.
Kagura jumps up after him to attack him in the air. Before Kagura attack could strike him a snake like chain appeared around him as he is sent downward to the floor with extreme lands and says. "Oh please tell me that's not everything?"
"No it's not!" Jin quickly appears behind him as he swings his sword downwards. The attack was blocked by a chain that was moving around him as he starts to laugh. "What!?"
"Oh, sooo close." Terumi quickly takes out a knife and stabs him in the stomach. Jin coughs up some blood as Terumi smirks. "Damn this must be your first time because YOU. ARE TIGHT!" he takes it out of him and sends a bone shattering kick to his stomach, sending him smashing into a tree.
"Jin!" Tsubaki yells as she charges towards her and swings her dagger downward. Terumi pulls out a small knife and blocks it.
"Ah the Sealed weapon Izayoi. Powerful, but to be wielded by trash like you is just a damn shame. I'm sure your ancestor must be sooo disappointed."
"What did you say!?" Tsubaki's face twists with anger as Terumi starts to laugh.
"Yes that anger! That rage! Show me more Tsubaki Yayoi!" he pushes Tsubaki off of him and drop kicks her onto the floor.
"Tsubaki! You bastard! You'll pay for that!" Makoto rushes him as Noel gives her some cover fire. Makoto winds up for an attack as she charges her fist. Makoto swings her fist to try and deliver a punch towards Terumi's face as he easily dodges it and a snake chain wraps around her as it starts to squeeze her.
"No Makoto!" Noel says as she runs up towards him.
"Makoto! Let her go you piece of shit!" Ragna says as he charges back towards Terumi.
"Oh do you want her back? Then take her!" Terumi throws Makoto towards Noel. She stops and catches her.
"Makoto are you alright!?" Noel felt something underneath her, but before she could react multiple snakes appear from the ground. They wrapped around the two and carried them high into the sky and slammed them down on the ground.
"Damn you!" Ragna swings his sword up as a beast like head surrounded in complete darkness rose up from the ground. It had glowing red eyes and razor sharp teeth. "Dead Spike!"Terumi laughs as he jumps up to dodge it. Ragna jumps up after him and swings his blade downward on Terumi. He takes out two knives and blocks it as the two clash blades in the air.
"Well now this is a little better than last time little Raggy." Terumi smirks. Ragna eyes was filled with hatred and his voice filled with rage.
"Shut your mouth you son of a bitch!"
"Ah don't be so mean to me. Remember all the good times we spent together. Oh, remember the time I killed all your friends and family? Good times. Gooood times. Oh and also that time I cut your arm off? Oh yeah you were there right? Of course you remember." Terumi laughs.
"I'll kill you, you piece of shit!" Ragna says in an enraged tone. He gasps as he felt something wrap around him as he can no longer move.
"Have a safe flight, and please hand in the isle seat at all times." Terumi drop kicks Ragna sending him downwards to the ground and slams onto the ground with extreme force. "Thank you for riding air Terumi. I hope you enjoyed your flight." Terumi says as he lands and bows.
"Ragna no!" Saya charges towards Terumi as she raises her sword. "Blazing Cross!"an X shaped shock wave headed towards Terumi. As the attack connects she couldn't see him though the smoke and dust created by the attack.
"Did you get him?" Kokonoe asks.
"Nope." Terumi appears behind them. "A doll should know her place wouldn't you agree!?" he says in a callous tone as a green energy surrounded his foot. "Serpents Infernal Rapture!"He kicks Saya in the stomach sending her flying as she crashes down on the floor and coughs up blood.
"Saya! You fucking piece of shit!" Kokonoe backs up away from Terumi.
"Thank you! You're too kind!" Terumi bows.
"Take this asshole!" Kokonoe takes out a small cannon as it shoots out a large fire ball as she throw some other machines next to Terumi.
"What the hell? I can't move!" Terumi looks around as the machines open up. A blue energy field starts to emit from them. As they activate the large fireball comes towards Terumi as it crashes into him and explodes.
"Rachel! Now!" Kokonoe says as a massive wind picks up creating a fire vortex. As clouds start to form above.
"Clownish Calendula!" a massive thunderbolt struck down as it causes a massive explosion knocking everyone back.
They all struggle to get up as they look to see a rather large fire created form the attack. "So," Ragna begins and winces a little as he asks in a pained tone. "Did you get 'em?" As they watch the blaze they see a silhouette inside of the vortex of flame. The fire starts to dissipate to reveal Terumi still standing as he smirks.
"Well I can't say that didn't hurt. Good job all of you, you managed to piss me off!" a green aura appears around him. "Now it's pay back time bitches!" he runs up to Kokonoe.
"Celica stay back!" Kokonoe doesn't notice how close Terumi was until it was too late as he delivers a kick to her face. She grunts as the blow sent her skidding on the floor. She bounces and rolls a few times before coming to a complelte stop. "That's for reminding me of that bitch Nine and that damn feline!"
"Kokonoe!" Celica rushes towards her. But before she could reach her a massive snake comes from the ground and strike the ground right in front of them causing them both to fly back into unconsciousness.
"Kokonoe! Celica!" Noel says as she starts shooting at Terumi. He manages to dodge her gun fire as he knees her in the stomach and kicks hard in her side sending her flying as she slams onto a tree as the tree bark breaks. "A doll should know their place."
"Noel!" Tsubaki and Makoto charge towards him as two snake chains surround the two as the two girls were thrown up in the air and comes crashing back down.
"No! You bastard, I'll make you regret that!" Jin stabs his sword onto the ground as several blades of ice erupts around Terumi as he jumps to avoid them. As he lands Kagura appears behind him and swings his massive sword as hard as he could. Without time to react he managed to land a hit on Terumi sending him towards Ragna.
"Gauntlet Hades!"his foot was covered in seither as it formed a claw like shape as he kicks him in his ribs sending him skidding on the ground.
"Now freeze!" Jin says as ice surrounds Terumi as he's frozen solid. Jin jumps up above him as he creates a bow and arrow made of ice. "Moonsong!" he fires the arrow as the attack lands directly on top of the ice. As an icy mist surrounds him Jin smirks. "Ok that should do it!"
"Nice shot." Kagura says. A bit of silence took them up as the tension in the air grew thick. Soon a look of disbelief took their faces as they start to hear laughter. They look to see Terumi walking out of the mist and almost unharmed. "There's no way! I know I hit you!"
"Well now look at what you've done. You just had to go and messed up my favorite suit." Terumi pouts as he looks at a small tear in his sleeves. "Well I thinks it's my turn?" his chains appears around him as he shoots them all a venomous glare. "Now, I think you two are first!" Terumi says as his chain goes towards them. Jin and Kagura manages to parry them. Before they realized it another chain wraps around their bodies.
"Jin! Kagura!" Ragna gasped as he looks at them wrapped up in a snake chain being hoisted up in the air.
"And down you go!" Terumi swings the chain downwards. The two crashes onto the ground with a loud bang and falls into unconsciousness.
"Jin! Kagura! You piece of shit! I'll make you pay for what you've done! Your gonna be dead meat!" Ragna charges towards Terumi as he parries Ragna's attack. "Perfect Ragna! Excellent! Show me your rage, your anger, your despair!" Terumi kicks Ragna in the stomach as he surrounds him with his chains as they start to squeeze him. Ragna grunts in pain as a wicked smile creeps across his face. "Gah!"
"I'm gonna beat you like a pinata rags! Hope you gotta Kit Kat in there! Haha!"
"Gah… Aaah…!"
"Sword Iris!" a lightning bolt comes between the two as Ragna is set free. He jumps back to gain some distance as Terumi looks at Rachel and snarls.
"Do you HAVE to cock block me, you shitty vampire!? Your just as annoying as your shit for brains father!"
"Sorry, but kindly refrain from hurting my servant." Rachel says as several lightning volts struck down as Terumi managed to avoid them. "Now your just pissing me off!" Terumi rushes towards and throws a couple knives at her.
Rachel uses the wind and pushes them aside. She sends a couple lightning bolts down on him. "Tempest Daliah!" Terumi feels a massive wind come in as he looks to see a bunch of creatures heading his way. He slashes them all and smirks.
Rachel smirks as Terumi looks around to see multiple lighting pole like objects around him. Lightning struck down on them as they all fired towards him. Terumi was engulfed in the onslaught as Rachel couldn't see him through the smoke created by the attack.
Terumi quickly appeared from the smoke and charges towards her. Rachel puts up Nago as a defense against him. Terumi surrounds his fist in a green aura as he punches the cat with intense force, causing both Rachel and Nago to be flown back.
"RACHEL!" Ragna says as he sees Terumi walking towards her.
Rachel looks up to see Terumi over her as he smirks "Hey there, shitty vampire."
"Detestable snake…" Rachel grits her teeth. She look to see his arm surrounded in a green aura and a wicked smile on his face.
"Didn't think you'd be this fragile, or maybe its because you haven't drunken human blood? Ah Clavis Alucard, I feel so sorry for you. You left a worthless little bitch of a daughter behind, I know you must be turning in your grave right now."
"I don't want to hear his name come out of your mouth!" Rachel's voice rarely changed from her usual calm and collected tone. But him uttering her father's name just flipped a switch in her brain as all she wanted to do was tear this man limb from limb.
Terumi starts to laugh hard as tears come out of his eyes. He slaps his legs as he begins to laugh harder. He catches his breath "Wait, wait hold on! Did the calm, cool and collected Rachel Alucard actually get mad? Oh man this is GREAT!" Rachel grits her teeth. Terumi wicked smile turned into am expression of complete disgust. It was like he was looking down on a dirty animal. "No wonder that woman never wanted you. Your just as worthless as your father and mother was."
"Don't you ever…!" Rachel felt a stir of rage build up inside of her. His words hit harder than any blade as she struggles to get up. Terumi starts to laugh again as she falls down on a knee. 'What is the matter with me…? I didn't think I'd weaken this much…'
"Oh?" Terumi smiles and with blade in hand he raises his arm. "On your knees? Well normally I wouldn't say no to a good old fashion blowjob, but I really don't like you. Now sleep well shitty vampire, oh and tell your dear old father I said "hi"." He strikes down as Rachel readies herself for the attack, but only heard a clash of blades as she looks up to see Ragna.
He surrounds his sword in a dark aura as Terumi starts to laugh. "Come on Rags, don't you know when enough is enough! I was just starting to have some fun!"
"You batard…!" Ragna growls as he pushes Terumi back. "Don't you fucking touch her!" he swings his sword sideways as Terumi jumps back. Ragna charges towards him as they clash blades and meet in a stand off.
"Is someone upset that I hurt their precious vampire?" Terumi says as he tries to taunt Ragna. He puts more force on his blade and says with his voice full of malice.
"I'll kill you, you bastard!"
"Ah, I didn't know you cared about me so much. I'm faltered, but..." Terumi wraps chains around Ragna as he falls to the floor unable to move "I'm getting a bit bored. Maybe this will liven things up a bit!" Terumi starts to stomp on Ragna's body. As he stomps him out Ragna starts to scream in agony.
Ragna's screams were music to his ears. A wicked smile comes across his face "Yes struggle, agonize! Let me hear that cheerful scream of yours! Hehehe… HAHAHAHA!"
"B-Brother…" Jin says as he watches his brother getting stomped to death.
"R-Ragna…" Kagura tries to get up but he couldn't move. He fell back down as he had no feeling in his legs.
"Well it's about time I end this isn't it?" Terumi grins as a hook like weapon appears in his hand "Serpent's Cursed Sting!"he picks him up using the hook and slams him back down. Terumi picks him up with two snakes surrounding his arms as their fangs sink into his body. Terumi throws him up in the air and delivers a bone shattering kick to Ragna's stomach. Upon impact you could hear his bones cracking as he coughs up blood and is flown sky high. Terumi jumps up and drop kicks him hard as he comes crashing down to the ground creating a small crater.
"Well that was fun, but sadly I have to get going." Terumi puts his hands in his pocket as he started to whistle and walk. Before he could take another step he hears something behind him and groans. He turns to see Ragna back up and leaning against his sword to balance himself. They all watch the scene before them, unable to move.
"Where… the hell do you think…your going…?"
"Well if you must know I was about to destroy this fractured world and return home. I've got a boiled egg waiting for me you know, not like you care anyway."
Ragna struggles to stand as he raises his sword and points it at Terumi. "We're not done here yet asshole... The only way your leaving is if a fucking drop dead!"
"Well," Terumi starts to chuckle as it turns to giggle then uncontrollable laughter. "I guess I could stay for a little while longer if you insist. Don't know why your so angry. I mean all I did was kill your family and burn your home down. I mean come on is that so wrong?"
Ragna charges at Terumi as he sighs. He swings his blade sides as ducks and kicks him in his stomach. The heavy kick sent Ragna flying in the air as Terumi launches a snake chain at him. It bites into his flesh and swinging down to the ground.
Terumi growls and retracts his chain as he turns and walks away. He pass through Noel, Makoto, Tsubaki and Jin's bodies as they try to move but can't "Excuse me, pardon me, sorry." He makes it to the gaseous ball and grabs it. He examines it and let's out a sigh. "Damn, no Azure fragment. Oh well at least this dimension wasn't so boring."
"Wait…you…bastard…!" Ragna struggles to get up as he coughs up blood. His voice was weak and filled with gasping breathes "I'm not done…just yet!"
"Ragna…" Kokonoe looks at him. Battered and beaten he picks his sword up and points it towards Terumi as he laughs.
"Very cute Rags, I didn't think you wanted me so badly. You'll make that stupid vampire jealous if you keep this up." He shrugs. "Sorry but I have to go, see you all next time!" he slashes the ball with his knife as the space around them started to bend.
"No damn it wait right there!" Ragna starts to run to where Terumi was standing as a snake erupts from the ground and wraps around him. It throws him into a tree with enough force to knock it over. Ragna gasps in pain as Terumi laughs.
"Sorry Rags old boy, but duty calls." he disappears and they find themselves back at the arsmagus boarding area.
"No…damn it all to hell…" Ragna says weakly as he coughs up blood and finally collapses from the pain. Rachel gets up as she looks to see Ragna down and heavily injured. She runs over to him and starts to shake him and call out his name. Jin, Kagura, Celica, Tsubaki and Kokonoe started to get some feeling back in their feet they rush over to him as Celica starts to heal him.
"I'm sorry. I saw everything that happened and I couldn't move to help him." Kagura says as he holds his side in pain as Celica shakes her head.
"It's ok don't worry, all I did was get in the way." She looks at him in worry "These injuries…"
"This idiot..." Kokonoe says as they all look at him. "I knew he hated him, but to keep fighting let alone remain conscious after all this damage is crazy!"
As they look at Ragna they see his eyes start to twitch as he slowly opens them. "Ragna," Celica says in worry. "Ragna are you ok!? Please say something!"
"I'd like to say yes, but I feel at least 7 broken bones and 2 broken ribs." Ragna groans.
"Don't move you idiot." Kokonoe says.
"Man I'm pathetic... All I did…was get my ass handed to me..." Ragna says.
"Hey don't beat yourself up man. You lasted longer than all of us. You have some in human endurance man. Normally I'm the one who comes first, but hey." Kagura smirks and shrugs.
"Do you have to be a pervert?" Kokonoe growls.
They hear groaning and look to see Makoto, Noel and Saya waking up. Saya looks to see Ragna heavily injured and runs to him. Noel and Makoto follow her as they look at him in worry. "Brother are you ok!?"
"Saya… You alright?" Ragna asks.
"Don't ask me that when your in this condition!" Saya says in worry.
"I see it didn't go all that well." a familiar voice says as they turn to see Nine.
"Yeah, not only that but that bastard got away. I couldn't do shit against him." Ragna says.
"You met Terumi in there?" Nine asks as Tsubaki nods. "I see, that means he's really on the move. With him here Relius Clover and…" Nine mumbles to herself. Worry washes over her as Noel asks in a worried tone.
"Nine are you ok?"
Nine was snapped out her thoughts. She sighs and looks down at Ragna in worry "I'm fine, but Ragna will you be alright?"
"Yeah, with Celica healing me I should be alright. But what about the rest of you, you all have injuries as well." Ragna looks around as Tsubaki says.
"Yes, but unlike ours yours is life threatening."
"I'll be fine—ah!" Ragna tries to get up as he hears a crack.
"Ragna please just stay still." Celica says.
"Come on Ragna just stay down. There's a cute girl taking care of you." Kagura says.
"Come now let's go." Nine opens up a teleportation circle. In a blink of an eye they were in Nine's house as she tells them to set Ragna on the bed. Kagura and Jin grabs a shoulder as they help him onto the bed as Celica begins healing him again.
"Ragna get some rest." Makoto says.
"I think I'll do that…" Ragna says weakly as sleep takes him away.
"So, what happened?" Nine looks at Ragna. The state his body was in and the amount of bruises, cut and scratches he had on him was insane. Now to mention the broken bones.
"Well, we entered the fractured world and found the distortion, but…" Noel starts.
"Yukki Terumi showed up and you can guess what happened." Kokonoe finishes.
"No I know that much from when you mentioned his name, I mean Ragna. What happened to him, it seems like he got it by a train multiple times." Nine clarifies.
"Terumi happened. He kept getting up after he was knocked back down even though his body was in shambles. Damn idiot didn't know when to stop and this was the result of him being too freaking stubborn." Kagura's expression fills with agitation.
"That sounds like Ragna." A gruff voice said as they turn to see Jubei walk into the room.
"Dad!?" Celica says as he walks up to her "Hey Celica. How you been?"
"Oh I'm ok, but Ragna is…" Celica looks at Ragna.
"Yeah I heard…"Jubei sighs "Hey there Kokonoe. Your not too badly injured are ya?" Jubei asks with concern in his voice as Kokonoe answers.
"No, I'm alright."
"That's good to hear." Jubei says with a smile. He turns to Ragna as his facial expression turns into that of worry. "Ragna my boy... Can you all tell me what happened to him."
"Yeah, that Terumi guy showed up." Saya says as Jubei looks at her with understanding eyes and sighs.
"I see. I can guess the rest. This idiot wouldn't go down would he."
"I'm sorry, I was completely worthless." Makoto clenches her fists.
"No," Jubei shakes his head "No, this is my fault." He looks at Jin and Saya and apologizes. "Jin, Saya I'm sorry I didn't train you more. You should'a done more."
"Please don't say that master Jubei, it's not your fault!" Saya says.
"We were just not prepared for his strength." Jin says. "So do not pin the blame on yourself. It is our faults as well for underestimating him."
"Well, let us leave him to Celica. Celica please take care of him." Rachel says as Celica nods. They walk out the room leaving the two of them alone. "Don't worry Ragna! I'll have you fixed up as fast as I can!"
Nine pulls Rachel aside as they go off away from everyone into a separate room. "Rachel, last time I saw you, you were much stronger than this. What happened?"
"It's because of how vampires are suppose to operate. They drink the blood of human beings to energize themselves, but I haven't really drank human blood before." Rachel says.
"Rachel you have to, your gonna destroy your body if you keep this up. Right now your no help to anyone in this state." Rachel grits her teeth as she continues. "I know you despise your vampire urges, but when you drank Ragna's blood that time you…"
"Don't say another word." Rachel says in a stern and almost disgusted tone. Her eyes were filled with disgust and her hands were shaking.
"Love it or hate it Rachel you're a vampire. Your going to lose control of yourself, so keep that in mind." Nine says. Rachel sighs and walks out the room. She walks a few steps out the room and stopped misstep. 'I loath to admit it, but she's right. I need to drink human blood, but the only blood I've ever drank was from Ragna…' as she remembered the taste of his blood her mouth started to water. 'No.' Rachel shook her head. "No, I can not do that to him." She clenches her fists "I will never become like her...!" Rachel walks off as Jubei watches her.
Nine walks out the room as she looks to see Jubei and asks him "So, how do you think they'll react after all this?"
"I don't really know. They may be kids but just like us they have a warriors pride." He takes a look in the direction of Ragna's room. "With the looks and their faces right now it seems that prides been shot. Even with all this they're tough so I'm sure they'll be ok." Jubei turns to Nine and says a serious tone. "Now Nine…"
He looked serious which is very rare for him. Nine raises a brow "Yeah what is it?"
"Heh." Jubei smiles wide and slaps her ass hard which causes her to gasp as a tint of red came onto her cheeks. "You seem a little frustrated. How about you release all that stress with those glorious hips of yours."
"Are you kidding me!?" her face turns a crimson red as she continues in an agitated tone. "I thought this was serious with that look on your face, but all you want to do is get in bed with me!" Jubei nods proudly as a vein popped onto her forehead. "Why are you so damn horny all the time!?"
"You know you like it. Now let's go." Jubei picks her up as he carries her bridal style.
"Hold on I never agreed to this!"
"Oh my beautiful wife. Always in denial ain't ya?"
"You're the one in denial!" she snarls.
"Enough talk now. Time to dance. The horizontal limbo to be exact." Knowing she can't persuade him she sighs.
"Fine…"
"I knew you'd come around. I'm gonna make her head spin tonight." Somehow she wanted to know what he meant by that.
"Oh really?"
"Yes really…" Jubei smirks as the two walk in the room.
Downstairs they could hear them and the ceiling shake as Kokonoe sighs. "There my dad goes again… I guess this is that bad feeling I had earlier…"
"Wait he does this often?" Kagura asks in disbelief and almost jealousy. Celica sighs and nods. They hear slight sounds as Noel's face turn bright red. After a while the shaking finally stops.
"Oh he's done." Tsubaki sighs in relief. Kokonoe and Celica shake their heads.
"No, he only just began." Kokonoe says.
Soon the noise returned, but a lot heavier then before as they can even hear Nine a little. They heard Jubei quite clearly though.
"I know that's not all ya got!?"
"Damn, Jubei's a beast. No pun intended." Kagura says in amazement. They hear moans and groans coming from above.
"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about! Damn your legs are like no other!" They heard Jubei say. Noel's face turns bright red as she covers her ears.
"What are they doing up there!?" Jin wonders. As the shaking continued Makoto sighs.
"How long is this gonna go on for?"
"Knowing him all throughout the night and into the afternoon." Kokonoe sighs.
"I could learn a few things from him." Kagura says.
"Oh god yes!" They hears Nine say.
"Now let's see how long you'll last this time…!"
"Yes! Deeper!"
"Well Ragna won't be able to get sleep at this rate." Kagura says.
"Now time for that cherry pie!" They heard Jubei say. Makoto face palms.
"This is gonna be a long night."
Well another chapter complete. Terumi makes his appearance finally as does the master unit. I'm not gonna ramble much here but I will say the maturity level will be increased bit by bit throughout this story. Well I hope you all enjoyed this. Leave your opinions and what I should work on as usual. Oh and if you have an idea don't be afraid to tell me it and I'll do my best. Maybe you have an idea for a fractured world for the story or hell even a gag. See ya! Here's the preview for the next chapter:
Ragna: You were picked on?
Kokonoe: This world…can be a very cruel place to live in.
Saya: Brother your ok! Thank god.
Nine: Well after everything that's happened Jubei suggested we take you all on a little vacation. So we're planning to go to Kazumotsu for the week.
Makoto: Road trip!
Ragna: Rachel I need a favor!
Jubei: So Nine when we get there how about we continue our session from this morning.
Amaterasu: He seems to be tempering with the cauldron and the boundary. We can't send them to him yet, I don't want them to die and have him gain the azure. We need Ragna to win.
Kokonoe: Ragna…you're an idiot…
