Noel: Kagura are you ok? You seem angry, which is weird for you.
Kagura: You can blame Ragna over there!
Ragna: The hell did I do?
Kagura: You have a LITERAL goddess living with you and sleeping in your bed. As a man of course I'm pissed off!
Kokonoe: Wow…That's your beef?
Kagura: You just don't understand.
Rachel: Ignore the pervert. However Ragna I must get an explanation out of you or the consequences will be…dire.
Ragna: Like I said it was nothing.
Celica: I believe you Ragna!
Ragna: Thanks Celica… At least I know I can count on you.
Celica: Of course!
Saya: Let's get this started.
Valkenhayn: I believe I shall explain what happened.
Ragna: Old man!?
Valkenhayn: My mistress was feeling under the weather and the boy lent her a hand.
Kagura: Yeah and he also has a freaking goddess living with him! Lucky son of…
Jin: Why are you so angry?
Kagura: If I was in his situation I would've banged her right there!
Jin: Wow… Just wow…
Tsubaki: Um…
Noel: Kagura… That's inappropriate.
Rachel: My word… And the man has no shame about it.
Kagura: Your damn right!
Izanami: Interesting… I see why they call you a pervert. I was told that you were but I have never seen it until now.
Kokonoe: Yeah your gonna have to get used to that…
Saya: It's not easy.
Makoto: Tell me about it.
Kagura: So I get hate and he gets a harem… Why does life suck so much ass right now?
Ragna: Harem?
Kagura: And the guy doesn't even know…
Hakumen: He is quite oblivious.
Ragna: Masked freak! What the hell are you doing here!?
Makoto: So I guess when anyone's introduced they come here? Oh no… That means…!
Relius: So this is what this was?
Jin & Tsubaki: Damn it!
Terumi: And heeeere's Terumi! What's going on bitches!?
Everyone: FUCK!
Terumi: Aw I'm touched.
Jin: Why!?
Makoto: Are you serious!
Kokonoe: Son of a bitch!
Nine: This is bullshit!
Jubei: Damn it all!
Terumi: Oh I love you all too. Oh and spoilers, I'm gonna be here the whole time! Isn't that great?
Ragna: Fuck me!
Terumi: How hard?
Ragna: ARGH!
Noel: This is getting out of hand...
Terumi: Speaking of getting out of hand… Ohhhh Raggy!
Ragna: What…
Terumi: I've gotta a surprise for you in this chapter. I'll give you a hint, her personality is a bit on the crazy side.
Ragna: That's a lot of people…
Terumi: She wants to have uncontrollable sex with you until the cows come home.
Ragna: What?
Kagura: Another one! Are you kidding me!?
Terumi: Let's fucking do this! Start this shit up!
Chapter 13: Another Nu dimension
Ragna rest his chin on his hand, bored out of his mind as Nine teaches them about ars magus barriers and defensive arsmagus. He let's out a long, drawn out sigh. 'So she shows up, then takes off the next day. What the hell was so urgent?' The moment they woke up Izanami took off to god knows where. He didn't really have time to ask her as she just up and left. The bell finally rings as Ragna stretches out his arms. "Thank god!"
All the students start to get up and walks out the class. Nine calls them all and motions her to follow her. The group heads down to the cafeteria and grabs their lunch. They find some empty seats near the back of the cafeteria. They all take a seat as a Makoto asks. "So Nine, what's up?"
"Terumi and Relius Clover are on the move again. Along with another new fractured world popping up." Nine says. Makoto scratches her head. "So we go after school?"
"No. I need you all to go now. I've got a really bad feeling about this and I don't think it can wait. Their might be an Azure fragment there so I don't want to take anything to chance." She sighs. "I would rather us get the fragment before them this time."
"Alright so then let's get moving." Nine puts her hand out. "Hold on a second. It's gonna take me a little while to teleportation you guys in."
"How come?" Tsubaki asks.
"I'm not sure why, but theirs some kind of barrier keeping me from teleporting you all to that specific location. I don't want to teleport you into danger so I asked Torakaka to check it out for me. I should be hearing from her any minute now." Nine explains.
"Her…" Saya groans.
"Saya is everything ok?" Noel asks. "Yeah…sort of." Saya responds, a bit of worry in her voice.
"So you want us to prepare?" Nine nods. "Alright then."
They all get up and walk out the cafeteria. She watches them leave. "It seems like they know what's up now. I guess I really can leave it to them." she walks out the cafeteria and goes outside. On queue a small blue ball with insignias swirling around it descends right in front of her. Nine taps on the sphere. "It seems to be a minor protection barrier similar to that of Izayoi. But teleportation should be safe, but make it quick before they notice." The sphere goes dark and fades.
"Alright then, time to go." Nine walks back into the building to get everyone. They get their things together to head out and stand outside. Nine casts a teleportation circle under them and in a blink of an eye they find themselves in an empty forest region, a slightly shifted space was in front of them. "So this is it."
"Oh so you really are all entitled? Meow." A familiar voice says as they turn to see Torakaka. "Hey Tora. I need to ask though, how do you know about entitles?"
"Well I told you Nine asked for some help didn't I? Meow." Tora goes closer to Ragna and stops right in front of him. She caresses his cheek with her paw. "But when I heard you were entitled Ragna I just had to help! Meow."
"T-Thanks Tora…"
"No need to be so nervous. I'm here to help, meow." Tora smirks. "When you come back how about you come with me and—"
"No way is he going anywhere with you!" Saya tugs him away from her. "I knew something like this was going to happen!"
"A cute vampire, a hot cat girl, a gorgeous mage, a hot beastkin and a cute sister…" Kagura says as he counts on his fingers. "Ragna! Stop being an ass and share the love!"
"Why the hell are you yelling at me for!? Piss off!"
"Um, didn't we come here for something?" Jin looks at them, his eye twitching. Kagura sighs. "Fine. Fine" he looks back at Ragna. "When we get back we're gonna have a long talk about sharing!"
As they start to walk Tora stops Ragna and gives him a kiss on the cheek. He jumps back a bit and rubs his cheek. "The hell was that for!?" She winks. "Just a little good luck charm." She puts her paw on her lips. "Or maybe you would prefer it on the lips?"
"Your gesture is appreciated, but we must be going now." Rachel summons a gust of wind under Ragna and throws him in, the group walking in after him. They look around to find themselves on some sort of island and Ragna on the floor. He gets up and turns to Rachel, his face twisted in anger. "The fuck was that for!?"
"For flirting in front of me." Rachel responds.
"I wasn't even flirting she came onto me!" Ragna shouts.
"Alright you two settle that later, but right now where the hell is this?" Jin says as they take a good look at their surroundings. They find themselves on a beach, clear blue waters behind them, the sun beating down on them and a forest up ahead. "An island huh..." Kokonoe sighs. "Well let's get searching."
"Hey rabbit I need a favor." Ragna asks. "What is it?"
"You mind flying up to see how large this island is. I think we all want to know what we're dealing with." Ragna says.
"I am not your telescope, but this once I shall listen." Wind picks up as Rachel slowly start to hover and flies up in a burst of speed. She looks around the whole island and sighs. She descends back down with a slightly irritated expression. He knew the answer but he had to ask anyway. "So, how's it looking rabbit?" she sighs. "It seems like we need to divide ourselves. The island is quite sizable."
"Well shit, it's that big?" Kagura rubs his temples. "Ok Jin come with me to check this area. Tsubaki and Makoto go check the east. Ragna go with Noel and check the center of the island. Rachel go with Saya and check the north and Kokonoe and Celica you guys cheek the west."
"Alright it's me and you Noel, let's do this." Noel nods as they walk off. "Noellers be careful! Ragna take care of her!" Makoto says. Noel waves to them. "You all too!"
"Don't worry I will!"
They all wish each other luck and go their separate ways. Jin and Kagura cuts through some bushes. "I thought you were gonna put yourself with one of the girls and Rachel with my brother." Kagura sighs. "I put people who shouldn't have any problem working with each other, Rachel and Saya shouldn't butt heads with each other even though they're after the same thing. But the real reason I didn't pair Ragna and Rachel was because of earlier. She would've cooked him alive."
"Fair point."
"Besides Makoto or for that matter any of the girls and I wouldn't work well because I would keep hitting on them. I can't let myself get distracted." As they continue on Kagura sees something and squints his eyes a little. "The hell is that?"
"What?" he points ahead of them. Jin looks to see what seemed to be footprints and broken tree branches. "So you think big foot swung by for a stroll?"
"I doubt it." They take a better look around. They saw more tree branches broken and even some fallen over. "So whatever did this is that way. So Jin, you up for some monster hunting?"
Noel and Ragna kept on walking as Ragna cuts through some branches in their path. "I just hope whatever is here isn't what we saw a couple days ago." Noel shivers. "I hope so as well. I don't want to see that again. Maybe we can get off easy, it's an island."
"I wonder what this distortion is. I mean, we're on an island." Noel continues to walk as she feels herself trip. Thankfully Ragna caught her before she made a face plant with the ground "Noel you alright?"
"Oh yeah, I'm fine." He helps her get back her balance. "You really are klutz aren't you?"
"No I'm not! Hmph!" Noel pouts and continue on, Ragna chuckles and follows behind her. He looks around to see nothing but trees and bushes. He groans. "Damn it. Where is this distortion suppose to be? I want to get my ass back."
"I'm not sure. But I hope the others have more luck than us." As they walk they feel themselves starting to lose balance and look beneath them. It was a kind of net with tree branches on top of it trying to cover it. "Is this…a trap?"
"It seems like one of those traps you use to catch bears and animals like that. But as long as we don't make any harsh movements I think we can just keep on walking." Ragna says as they try to walk as lightly as possible. After a few careful steps they finally get off the trap. "If theirs a trap here, doesn't that mean they're people?"
"Yeah it does. Still, just who was that trap set for? We haven't seen a single animal yet, let alone a person here, have we?" he shakes his head. "Na we've been the only ones here. Let's just hurry up and get off this damn island. Now I've got a bad feeling..."
"I wonder if brother and the rest if them has gotten better luck than us." Saya sighs as they continue to walk. "I pray that is the case. I don't want to be on this island walking endlessly anymore." Saya suddenly stops and puts her hand out. "What is it?"
"Look around." she points as Rachel sees a bunch of traps "Traps? Why are traps on a deserted island?"
"Maybe this island really does have people, but…" Rachel nods. "Yeah, their isn't even an animal in sight. So was their any reason for this trap to be set in the first place?"
"No idea. But I get a feeling were gonna find out soon." They hear something coming as Saya puts her hands on her blades. As the footsteps get closer a sweat drops down Saya's face. She's put at ease as she looks to see it was just Jin and Kagura. "Jin? Kagura?"
"I hope you know you two almost gave us a heart attack." Rachel sighs. "Sorry about that, but we couldn't find anything so we came looking for you guys. All we saw were these huge ass footprints." Kagura says.
"Footprints huh?" before Rachel could ask anymore questions they heard more footsteps as Makoto and Tsubaki walk out of the bushes. "Ok good we found you guys." Makoto says. "So quick? We have only been apart for at least ten minutes."
"Well we saw some massive footprints and decided it'd be best if we stuck together." Tsubaki says.
"Oh did you guys see those footprints too?" Jin asks.
"Yeah we did. It kinda worried us that a giant monster lives here, so we came to find you all." Makoto says.
"Ok so the only ones left out there are Celica, Kokonoe, Ragna and Noel. Let's try and meet up with them. With a supposed monster on the island of that size I don't think it's a good idea for us to be spread out like this." Jin points north. "If we keep walking north were bound to run into them eventually."
"Hey Kokonoe."
"Yeah, what is it?" Kokonoe asks
"All those traps and large footprints we passed. You think they mean something?" Kokonoe nods. "Yeah I do. No one leaves traps around for no reason. More importantly if those are here that means people live here. At least they used too."
"But their hasn't been an animal in sight." Celica says. "Yeah, that's the part I don't understand. You've got all these damn traps, but nothing to use it on."
"Makes you think doesn't it?" Celica says as they see another trap. She turns to see Kokonoe with a slightly worried expression. "What is it?"
"With an island like this, traps and all, their has to be people living here. It doesn't matter if it's a fractured world, theirs still people here. We've passed by what seemed to be cabins, but they were in shambles. Whatever happened here I really don't like it. I don't think we should be separated."
"Then let's regroup with the rest of them. But where could they be?" Kokonoe shrugs. "Knowing Kagura and Rachel they probably have a few suspicions of their own. Kagura may act like an idiot, but he's not stupid. Rachel probably has at least some idea what this place is in our world, maybe they all met up already."
"But where do we even look? We all went in different directions and this island is huge." Celica says.
"Let's try near the center of the island. If not there, let's make a break for wherever trouble is. Where that is, is probably where the rest of them are. We've got that kind of give going on." Celica laughs. "Yeah I guess your right. Oh! It's like where explorers hunting for treasure!"
"Look at it whatever way you want Celica. Come on, let's go. Oh and stay behind me. I don't want you getting lost here of all places." She pouts. "I won't get lost!"
"You could've fooled me." Kokonoe started to walk. She groans and puffs her cheeks. "What's that supposed to mean Kokonoe!?"
"What do you think?" Kokonoe says.
"Your so mean!" they stop in their tracks as the two girls hear a roar. She smirks. "Found them. Let's go Celica!"
"Ok… So everyone heard that? Or am i finally going crazy." They nod. "That was definitely a wild animal. But that sucker sounded like a raging beast. Shit..." Makoto curses as they hear some footsteps, but not one of a human. It was shaking the very ground itself and only getting closer. They see something poking out from the trees.
It gets closer and closer and finally comes into view. "Holy shit! The hell is that thing!?" They look to see a giant white animal with a long tail, claws and fangs with spikes on its back. "Now this must be why those traps were set up! So people do live here."
"Damn talk about prehistoric. We actually found a dinosaur. First I thought I was in Indiana Jones now this has to be Jurassic park. So anyone got a camera?" Kagura asks. The large animal sets it's sights on the group. "So, more humans."
"Wait you can talk?"
"This just got weird." Makoto says. The beast glares at them. "You humans never learn do you? I suppose that is just who you all are."
"The hell are you talking about?"
"Leave this island at once!" The animal roars. The trees themselves start to shake. Makoto covers her hears. "Damn it turn that shit down! It sounds awful!"
"I guess hygiene isn't necessary when you're a ten story tall monster." Kagura says.
"Let's hurry up and take this thing down!" They all get there weapons ready. "If you will not leave, then you shall just end up like the rest of them."
"Rest of them?"
"The rest of those selfish humans. If you do not leave I will make sure you join them." Rachel groans. "I see. That's why there is no more people here. You killed them all."
"Yes. I did. They broke the pact and disgraced the sacred treasure. Trying to use it's power for their own selfish endeavors, not caring about the animals that lived her and just what it would cause. As the guardian I could not make that continue. They needed to be punished. " Tsubaki's face twists in disgusts. "That's terrible… All those people…"
They hear someone running towards them as Celica and Kokonoe come into sight. "We heard a roar! What happened!?" Kagura points to the monster in front of them. "Holy fucking shit! The hell is that thing!?"
"Apparently Godzilla." Kagura shrugs.
"What's with the references on you today?" Makoto asks. "I don't know… Watched a bunch of movies last night." They all get into a fighting stance. "Enough talk." the animal swings his tail up and brings it down. Kagura picks Celica up, the group jumps back to avoid the attack. Rachel summons a massive bolt of lightning that strikes the animal head on. "Holy crap that's way bigger than before!"
The beasts whole body stood stiff as smoke came off it. "Well that was quick." Saya says. "No, he's just faking it." Jin groans as the animal exhales. "You are all a bit different then those other humans. You all might actually put up a fight."
"So those scales aren't just for show..." Jin groans.
"Great, is anything ever easy?"
"What kind of possibility is this? Did we ever have a massive talking monster!?" Makoto asks.
"I believe I know what this monster is referring too. I suppose that these worlds spread across all of time and not just our era." Kokonoe groans. "Let's just hope we don't find a world with the Black Beast in it."
"Agreed." Kagura says.
"So you are done talking now?" he raises his hand up and brings it down. Kagura grabs Celica, they all jump back to avoid the attack. "I think he's done talking!" Jin creates multiple blade of ice and sends them towards the monster. He roars, the blades of ice shattering before they reached their target. "Tch!"
"Now die you selfish humans."
Noel was walking through the bushes and trees, her head spinning and her legs leading her somewhere. 'Where am I going?' she thinks to herself. The more she walked the worse the pain got. But she felt like she just had to see what was up ahead, almost like she was being called or someone was telling her to go.
She maneuvers her way through the branches and trees and makes her way into a rather large clearing. Noel looks in front of her to see a girl with platinum hair and had on what seemed to be a blue body suit.
"Who…are you?" Noel asks, the girl slowly turns around revealing she had a red eye and her face closely resembles her own. One of her eyes however was covered with some strange eye patch with a red shell on it that resembled a closed eye.
Noel feels herself slowly losing consciousness, her mind becoming hazy. "Identify yourself." The girl walks closer to her as Noel feels her body start to move. 'What's going on…? I can't speak.' The two girls stop in front of each other. "Identify yourself." The girl says once more in a monotone voice.
"I…I am…" Noel starts. "I am…boundary interface prime field number 12. Anti Sankishin core unit, Mu. Subject requesting identity."
"I am boundary interface prime field device number 13. Anti Sankishin core unit, Nu." The two girl open their palms and press them against each other. They spark, almost like machines resonating with another. "Searching… Searching. Search complete. Your existence is an anomaly. Please terminate yourself."
"Searching for response… Search complete. Request denied. Continued existence will be given top priority. I must save Ragna." Noel was confused. She herself didn't know what she was saying. It was like she was being controlled. 'Save him? From what? What am I saying…?'
"Ragna..." she mumbles. "Ragna." She says more clearly, anger visible in her expression. "If you will not terminate yourself as designated then I shall do it instead. Now…"
"Commencing termination of target." They both say in unison. Both of them jump back far away from each other. Noel draws her gun quickly from their hoisters and aims them at the platinum haired girl.
The platinum haired girl raises her hand in the air, a massive sword shaped object descends behind her. Smoke takes up the whole area as Noel gets a really bad, yet familiar vibe from this. As it clears Noel sees that the girl was wearing some sort of armor with four blades floating behind her on each side like wings and wearing some sort of mask with one red eye shaped in it's glass center with an antenna like object sticking out it's sides.
"Murakumo unit activate." The girl says, the red eye like object in her mask glows. Noel starts to shoot at the girl, Nu puts her blades in front of her to block her attack. She feels something behind her and looks to see three portals. She jumps back as a bevy of sword rain down from them.
'This girl… Why am I fighting her…? Why do I feel like I need to do this?' Noel runs up to her, the two engaging in close combat. Noel sends a bevy of kicks and bullet fire at her. Nu weaves around them, sending her own swords and kicks at her. Noel raises her foot up to kick her as Nu does the same, their legs slammed onto each other.
They both jump back, the girl puts her hand in front of her as small portals opened up. From within those small portals sword shaped objects appeared, all of them aimed at Noel. She runs to the side to avoid them and shot a volley of bullets at the girl as she ran.
The girl puts her blades in front of her to block the onslaught of bullets. The platinum haired girl puts her arms forward as a bevy of swords came her way. Noel starts to shoot them down, but some manages to scrape against her body.
A sword scrapes Noel legs as she staggers for a bit. The mysterious girl takes this opportunity and closes in on her. She delivers a kick to her side, sending her gliding on the grass. Noel uses her hands to slow herself down and after a couple flips gets back on her feet. 'Who is she? Why do I feel like I'm not even in control anymore?'
She launches the blades floating behind her back at Noel. She jumps out the way and charges her shot, a ray of light shot out of the two barrels and hits the girl right in the stomach. Noel continues her assault as she keeps firing bullet after bullet after bullet. The girl falls to one knee. "Substantial damage taken. Damage in respective parameters..." She stands back up as her the girl starts to get back up. 'What?'
"Now, continuing assault."
'How can she keep fighting after all that?' as Noel slowly starts to come back to her senses she feels her reactions get slower as the mysterious girl starts to gain the advantage. She sends sword after sword after sword, Noel barely manages to dodge them. A sword gets lodged in her thigh as she grunts in pain and falls to one knee.
Noel tries to get back up, but the pain was too much and she fell back down, blood oozing out of the wound. She grunts and puts her hand over it to try and stop it. She looks up to see her walking closer to her, the girl stops a inches away from her. Multiple portals slowly open behind her, the tips of her swords poking out of them.
'Am I…actually gonna die?' she realizes she not shaking in fear. On the other hand she was totally calm. 'Is it because of bolverk? I wonder… I wonder how Makoto and Tsubaki are doing?' Noel looks up to see the girl just staring at her. "Perish."
Blades start shooting out the portals. Noel covers her head and looks away from her inevitable end. 'No… I don't want to die! Someone please…' tears start falling down her cheeks. "Ragna help me!" Noel screams unconsciously.
She hears a loud clang and looks up in front of her. Her face fills with shock as tears ran down her cheeks. "Damn got here just in time. Sorry I'm late Noel. Traffic was a bitch." A gruff voice says. She smiles. "Ragna!"
He turns and runs up to her. Ragna looks to see the bloody wound on her thigh, worry washes over him. "Are you ok Noel!?" Noel buries her face in his chest. "Ragna! You're here!" he was confused, but just started to gently rubs the back of her head. "You don't seem to bad. Let me check the wound Noel." He looks over the bloody wound, seeing that it actually isn't as bad as it looked. "Ok Noel you sit tight, I'll handle this."
He looks at his opponent as he gets the weird feeling he knows this girl. But from where? The girl looks at him as her mouth opens wide. "R-Rag…na…?" she smiles wide. "Ragna!"
"Wait a minute. That voice, it can't be!" Ragna's gasps. "It's really you Ragna! Do you remember me!?" the girl says in a happy go lucky voice as she takes off her mask. "Nu! Is that you!?" Ragna feels a sense of nostalgia and happiness to see her, but he also gets this dangerous vibe. "I'm so glad you remember me Ragna! It's been forever since we last saw each other." She puts her finger on her cheek. "The last time I saw you was at that laboratory, right?"
"Yeah... But how are you here? You died... What the hell is going on?" He looks to see his grimoire not reacting, his expression turns to that of disbelief. "You're...the real Nu..."
"Of course I'm real silly. Why wouldn't I be real? Ragna your so wierd." She giggles. He shakes his head. "No this doesn't are make sense... What a minute if you really are Nu then what are you doing here? The only way that you could even be here is…" She smiles. "Yep! I'm an entitled and it looks like you are too! Isn't that great!?"
"But why are you here?" Ragna asks. "I'm here to get the Azure fragment and also number 12!" he stares at her with a perplexed expression on his face. "What? What the hell are you talking about? Number 12? The hell is that?"
"Come on you don't know who number 12 is? The girl behind you silly. Come on Ragna, you gotta be quicker than that!" Nu says.
"What?"
"Still confused? Oh well, I'm just so happy to see you! So what brings you here?" Nu asks him.
"I'm here…for the Azure fragment…" Ragna says as Nu's smile wavers a bit. "But why are you here for the fragment? Who sent you?" he knew the answer but asked anyway. "You're smart enough to guess who Ragna." Nu says. His voice deepens a bit. "Yukki Terumi…and Relius Clover…" he bites his lip and raises his sword. He grips it with two hands and gets into a stance, the blade pointing towards her. "I'm sorry Nu but I can't let you have it. If you want it or Noel your gonna have take them by force!"
As they continue to fight the monster Kagura jumps and delivers a powerful downward strike to it's head. It roars in pain. It swings it's tail at him as Kagura maneuvers his body around just enough to avoid it's tail.
Makoto delivers a powerful punch to it's left leg as Tsubaki delivers a slash to it as well. Jin and Saya delivers powerful slashes to it's right leg causing it to kneel. Kokonoe jumps up, drill hammer in hand and swings it upwards at it's chin. The monster falls backwards as Rachel lifts her hand up in the air. Storm clouds appear over as they all get back. "Clownish Calendula!"
A massive lightning bolt strikes downas the monster screams, his body disintegrating. The smoke takes up the area of impact. They all look to see a massive crater where the monster once was. Makoto whistles. "Damn… That's some crazy ass power you got there. Remind me to stay on your good side unless I want to be hundred feet under instead of six."
"Well now we know what caused the disappearance of those people." Kagura puts his swlrd away as the rest of them retract their weapons as well.
"Sad part is that, that monster wasn't the distortion." Saya scratches her head. "So he said treasure right? Do you guys think that whatever this treasure is could be what's distorting this place?"
"That's a good guess, it just might be. I guess checking it out would be a good idea." Before they moved off they heard something explode. They look ahead to see multiple explosions, almost like a battle was going on. "That explosion came from Ragna and Noel's direction!" Tsubaki gasped.
"Let's go!"
"Dead Spike!" Ragna raises his sword, a giant beast like head appears and rushes towards Nu. She jumps and summons multiple blades towards Ragna. He uses his sword and deflects the incoming barrage of swords. Nu comes down on Ragna. "Crescent Saber!" an arched sword appears as Nu strikes down with it. Ragna blocks it with his sword and pushes her off him.
With Nu still in the air he surrounds his foot in seither and jumps up. "Gauntlet Hades!" he roundhouse kicks her in the face. The force of the attack sending her to the ground.
Nu lands on her feet and waves her hand. "Gravity Seed!" Ragna feels an intense pressure as he falls hard to the floor. Ragna struggles to get up and uses his sword to pull him up against the gravity. "Damn it...!" Noel screams. "Ragna behind you!" he quickly turns around to see a hoard of portals above him. His eyes widen. "What the hell!?"
"True Impreza!" swords rain down on top of him. He curses and raises his sword up to block them. The blades beating down on him, the area surrounding by dirt and dust from the impacts of the blades that fell down from above
As the swords finally stopped the smoke cleared. He was still standing, but he had two swords lodged in each shoulder and another two in each leg. "Ragna!" Noel tried to move, but the injury in her leg brought her back down.
"Hehe… Hahaha… HAHAHAHA!" Nu starts laughing maniacally. She giggles and start to walk towards him. 'Damn it! I can't move!' Ragna spat up blood and falls forward. Nu catches him by the head as her armor disappears "That was fun Ragna! You're so strong, I thought I was a goner!" she caresses his cheek as he coughs up some more blood. "Maybe I over did it a little? Oh well what matters is that your right here with me Ragna."
Nu smiles and wipes away the blood from his lips. "Now come here you." she presses her lips against his, her lips smacking against his. She moves her head to entice the kiss, moans emanating from her lips. Craving more she pierces his mouth with her tongue, shoving it deep into his mouth. She circles her tongue all around his mouth, getting a thorough taste of him, a moan leaving her lips every now and again. She wraps her tongue around his soft muscle. Nu getting rougher with him as she devours his lips.
Saliva started to run down their chins. Nu attacking his lips, her tongue furosciously moving in his mouth. She seperates from him for a second and smashes her lips back onto his, continuing where she left off, her kiss just as passionate and aggressive as before.
Nu slowly releases him, saliva connected their tongues together. Nu licks her lips and giggles. "I've wanted to do that for what seemed like forever Ragna. Do you know how much Nu cares for you?"
Ragna collapses as Nu chuckles. "You know I wouldn't mind it if you came along with me Ragna. That way we can never be apart ever again." She reaches down for him, but quickly jumps back from an attack. Ragna looks to see Saya standing in front of him, blades at the ready. "Saya…?"
"Brother stay back." Nu looks at her with distain and annoyance. "You're in Nu's way. Move."
"Like hell I will! How dare you lay even a finger on him!" Saya gets into a stance and glares at her. "I'll make you pay. I promise you that." She lunges at Nu, the two clashing, sparks flying as their blades clashed with each others. Nu jumps back and sends a few swords at her. Saya deflects them all and charges back at her. Nu swings her hands cross ways and upwards, portals opening all around Saya.
They poured out one by one, Saya jumping over them and deflecting them. She finally gets in close, Saya glaring right at her. She swings her swords in all different directions, sending rapid slashes and quick kicks her way.
Saya thrusts her sword at her. Nu raises her hand up, using the blade on her arm to block the attack, her sword grazing her blade. Saya plants her foot firmly on the ground and spins her blades quickly in her hands, the one in her left hand was in a reverse grip and the one her right was in a sideways grip. She turns around and swings her left arm upwards. Nu's body vanishes and appears again, but this time behind her.
Saya spins her body around and swings her right arm down. Nu blocks the attack, but is pushed a little further back by the pressure.
Noel hears footsteps and behind her to see the rest of them running. "Noel are you ok!?" Tsubaki asks. "I'm fine! But Ragna is…!" they look to see Ragna and the floor and Saya fighting a platinum haired girl in a weird suit of armor.
Saya swings her swords down heavily on her, Nu raises her arms to block, the swords on her arms blocking her blades. Nu raises her foot and tries to kick her, but before the attack could land Saya jumps back. Saya lands in front of Ragna, Saya breathing slightly hard. "If you are going to continue getting in Nu's way and keep her away from Ragna…" portals open up behind her, Saya grips her swords tighter, readying herself for what's to come.
"That's enough thirteen stand down." A voice says. They all look to see a man with a mask and cape walk out of the shadows, a large doll walking next to him. "That was some fine data you collected for me. It's time we go, I have collected the Azure fragment."
"Relius Clover!" Jin draws his blade. Relius looks at him. "Ah, the Power of Order."
"Bastard!"
"Re…lius… Cl…over…!" Ragna grunts and slowly stands up. "Ah, the man of Azure. It has been a while since we last spoke hasn't it? I think over a millennia."
"Been…a while? The hell…are you talking about!? What are you…!?" Ragna starts to cough up blood and falls to one knee. A smile creeps on his face as he looks at Saya and Noel. "Number 10 and 12. You two have gained some remarkable souls. Especially you number 12, it seems like further inspection is due."
"What the hell are you talking about you masked freak!?" Makoto runs in front of Noel. Relius had a weird item in his hand. It was a blue sphere about the size of his palm. The glare of the sun shining onto it. "That's the distortion?"
"Yes. To think I would come here again. Quite the run down memory lane. The spirit was as annoying as ever, but the ending was no different then last time." Jin saw a slight blue aura resembling a flame come off of it. "Theirs a fragment in there!" he charges forward, Tsubaki and Kagura behind him.
"Annoyances." He snaps his fingers, purple magic circles appear under them. Claws quickly came out of them and held them in place. Kagura tries to wiggle his way out, but had no luck. The claws had them tight in their grasp. "Damn it!"
Lightning comes down on the two, Relius jumps back and looks at Rachel. "Ah, the heiress to Clavis Alucard."
"You must be crazy if you believe I will let you get away with that." He smirks. "I do not think you have a choice in the matter." He snaps his fingers, the claws starting to crush Kagura, Tsubaki and Jin. "No!" Saya runs up to them, but stops as Nu appears in front of her. She sends a strong kick to her sides, Saya sliding on the ground and coming to a complete stop.
"Sa…ya…!" he struggles to get back up and stares them both down. "Ragna!" Celica and Kokonoe make their way over to him. They stops and looks around to see purple seals around her. Celica gasps. "What is this?"
"Bastard!" Relius shakes his head. "I would not move if I were you. One wrong move could be the death of all your friends here. So if I were you I would stay put. That goes for you too Rachel Alucard. Unless you wouldn't mind their blood on your hands." She hisses her teeth. "Damn you…"
"Like hell… I'm letting you get away!" Jin grunts, the area freezing around him as the metal claws restraining Kagura, Tsubaki and him froze and shattered. "Nice work Jin. Now…"
"I see… Most impressive. Never the less it is time we left." Relius call Nu back over and hands her the orb. "Time we went back. It seems you need some adjustments."
"Yes Colonel Relius." she says in a monotone voice. Kagura, Tsubaki and Jin runs up to them. "Like hell you will!" they feel something behind them and look to see several portal opened up. They quickly dodged as swords rained down from them. The swors made a sort of fence, blocking them from going further. Jin hisses his teeth. "Son of a…!"
"Useless." Nu looks at Ragna and smiles. "Well I'll see you around Ragna." She puts her finger on her lips. "Then we can continue where we left off. Sorry I can't do it now, even though I'd love you to mangle my body." She raises a blade and strike the ball. "Nu hold it!"
"Sorry but we aren't losing that fragment!" several blades of ice surrounds Relius. "Ignis." The doll puts it's large hand above him, the ice swords shattering on it's arm. Ragna grips his sword with two hand, seither surrounds it as he launches a wave of seither. The wave cleaves through the swords Nu laid out and heads towards Relius. Nu goes in front of him and blocks the attack. She smiles. "Like I said we'll continue later. Don't need to be in such a rush! Next time Nu sees you, she'll make sure her body is ready for that sword of yours. Hehe." Space becomes warped as their bodies start to vanish. "Damn it wait!"
"Sorry, but we will have to continue this chat at a later date. I am a busy man with a lot of things to do so I bid you all adieu." Relius bows as the two disappear. They were back in the forest, Relius and Nu nowhere to be seen. Ragna grits his teeth, blood flies out his mouth. "God…damn it all…" he falls to one knee again breathing heavily.
"Ragna!" Celica runs to him as her eyes widen. "This is bad! These wounds are way too deep!" she looks at the rest of them. "Are you guys ok!?"
"I'm ok Celica don't worry about me. Please focus on Ragna. It's my fault he's in this condition." Noel says.
"These scratches are nothing, we'll live don't worry about it. Just focus on brother for now." Jin says. Kagura looks him over and curses. "Shit…just what the hell was that? We need to go, now. Get Nine." On queue Nine arrives. She looks to Ragna's condition and runs to him. "What the hell happened!? It looks like you were stabbed a hundred times!"
"Your not wrong about that..." Ragna says weakly. "Don't be an idiot Ragna. Conserve your strength." Rachel says. Nine looks over at Kagura, Tsubaki and Jin. "You guys too? Just what the hell did you encounter in there?"
"Relius Clover…and something else." Tsubaki says.
"He was there? Wait…something else?" Nine asks.
"A Murakumo unit." Noel says. "A Murakumo unit? That shouldn't be possible… I could've sworn that…"
"You know about them?" Tsubaki asks.
"Yes I do. Let's continue this somewhere more private." Rachel nods and in an instant they find themselves at her house in her bedroom. "Ragna, please lay down." Saya pleads. Ragna shakes his head. "I can't lay down now. I need to know why the hell she's still alive. That's more important to me right now."
"At least sit down Ragna. Your legs are about to give." Celica helps him over to a chair next to her dresser.
"Still alive? Wait you mean she died?" Tsubaki asks. "She was one of the test subjects I mentioned. It looks like she wasn't dead, even though I could've sworn she was. This doesn't make any sense to me."
"So was the female terminator your girlfriend?" Kagura asks.
"Terminator…? The hell is that?" Makoto asks.
"What do you live under a rock!? Do you know at least who robot cop is?" Kagura asks.
"Robo who?"
He sighs. "Megaman…"
"Oh yeah!"
"Goddammit." He face palms.
"No you idiot... She was a close friend along with two other girls." he sighs. "Their names were Lambda and Mu."
"They were prime field devices." Nine says. "I don't know what the hell that is! But if your saying their not human beings then I swear to god I'm gonna…!" he felt his body about to give out on him. Immense pain from the sword wounds he received from Nu. "Damn… What the hell are with these wounds…!"
"Brother please don't move too much. Celica." She nods and starts healing him. He breathes outwards to try and calm himself down. "Sorry Nine."
"It's alright. I know this isn't a subject you want to go back too." She sighs.
"Does someone mind explaining who that girl was?" Makoto asks. "I'll explain that part." they all turn towards him as he starts. "She was a test subject like me, but the azure accepted me. The azure rejected her and killed her. However that doesn't seem that's what happened."
"So she's an old friend of yours?" Ragna nods. "Yeah she is. But she shouldn't be alive right now… Could that mean Lambda and Mu could both be…!"
"Ragna what's wrong?" he shakes his head. "It's nothing…don't worry about it."
"I have a question." Noel says.
"What is it?" Rachel responds. "That Relius guy called me number 12. What does that mean? She also called Saya number 10." She sighs. "Yes he did… That was just the number given to you at birth."
"At birth?" Saya wonders.
"So if Noel and the rest of them share the same face then… No way…" Ragna starts to realize what she was getting at. Rachel saw it and sighs. "It seems like you've caught on Ragna."
"What? What do you mean?" Tsubaki asks.
"All of them… Nu, Lambda and Mu...all had something in common."
"Something in common?"
"Their faces… They all looked the same." Kagura scratches his head. "All look the same… I mean Noel and that Nu girl did look alike. So the reason why that masked pervert called them that was because Noel and Saya are both…!" Tsubaki starts to get the picture. She turns to Noel and Saya. "Prime field devices…"
"I never wanted them to know about this because I wasn't sure how they would handle it." Saya and Noel face turns to that of horror and disbelief. "Are you saying that were not even human…?" Rachel stays silent.
"Noel…"
"So your saying I'm just a doll crafted in some lab?" Saya's body starts to shake as she feels the pieces come together. "That's why every time his name is mentioned I feel so weak… Why I don't know my parents or where I came from…and why I don't know who I really am or where I belonged… I-I…I'm…! My whole life's just been one big…!"
"I never wanted to tell you until you were ready to bear the weight of the truth. But now it's way too late, so I shall tell you exactly who you are." The room fills with silence as she continues. "You are a boundary interface prime field device. You were created by Relius Clover and was deemed as a failure Saya. It would seem your memory of that time has been lost however." She turns to Noel. "You Noel were in Ikaruga when that massive blast hit the whole city. You were the sole survivor. Of course however the reason you were brought there was for an experiment and it went wrong. Before the cauldron could go completely out of control…"
"They fired something that's known as the Take-Mikazuchi." Nine says.
"Wait that actually exists? I thought that was just some legend." Tsubaki says, a little astonished by what she just heard. Even though given the situation she couldn't help but feeling a little intrigued by it. She would be lying if she said she didn't want to hear more about it.
"How come Noel was the one that survived?" Jin asks. Nine put a hand on her hips. "I wish I could tell you that. I know Terumi wanted her alive, but I can't figure out why. I have a suspicion, but that's about it. Rachel has the same one I do, but we aren't to sure."
"So why do Noel, Saya and the rest of them look the same? I mean did he want that?" Kagura asks.
"The reason why they have similar attributes is mainly because of how they created them. When Saya was created, Relius Clover used her data and created three more Murakumo units. When she supposedly disappeared he focused his attention on you. In actuality Jubei and Nine found out about it and broke her out. You could say she was the base of their production." Rachel says.
"Nine… You and master knew about this?" Saya asks.
"Yes. We never wanted to tell you until you were ready. We didn't want to hurt you Saya… It's too late for that now though. When we got you out and brought you to the Kisaragi family, your memories were gone and we gave you the name Saya. When Jubei found Ragna the other Murakumo units were gone. Now one just pops up… Just how did they revive her?" Nine looks at the two girls. "I really am sorry. Noel. Saya."
"So I'm not even human…?" Rachel says nothing as Saya and Noel couldn't believe what they were hearing. She felt weak as she started to shake. Tears began to fall down her cheeks. She grabs her arm and grips it tightly, feeling uncomfortable in her own body. A strange sensation crawling all over her body.
"She's lost it…" Ragna stands up and walks towards Saya. He wraps his arms around her, her whole body shaking uncontrollably. "Brother… I… I'm…!"
"Don't say another word Saya." He feels his shirt start to get wet. He gently pats the back of her head. "It doesn't matter who you are. To me your just as human as anyone else in this damn room. You and Noel both." Saya looks up at him, her eyes red and tears running down from them. He moves his hand to the top of her head and pats it gently. "You're still my little sister and I love you to death. I don't give a damn what they say you are. In my eyes your human, not a machine and theirs no way in hell your some doll."
"Brother…" he turns to Noel and continues. "You too Noel. Your just as human as the rest of us. Their isn't a reason for you to cry." Makoto and Tsubaki walks up to Noel and smiles. "Yeah don't worry Noellers! We love you all the same!"
"We will always treat than nothing more than a dear friend and human being because that exactly what you are." Tsubaki smiles.
"Tsubaki… Makoto… Ragna… I don't…" tears start falling down her face as Tsubaki and Makoto wraps her in their warm embrace. "Thank you…" Makoto smiles and moves her tail around. "How about you come snuggle in my tail for a bit Noel." She smiles and hugs her tail, her tears starting to cease and dry up. Nine walks up to Ragna. "I know I shouldn't ask this right now, but was the Azure fragment there?" he nods. "Yeah. That bastard Relius got it."
"Son of a bitch…" Nine grits her teeth. He looks down. "On top of that I let the son of a bitch get away. Sorry Nine"
"I'm not blaming you it's fine, so don't beat yourself up. Still we have to stop letting them get the upper hand. I don't know why, but they seem to be one...no, three steps ahead of us." Rachel looks at Saya and Noel. "Why did they have to find out now? They were not ready. I suppose this reaction is expected."
"It just goes to show you how cruel people can really be." Nine looks out the window. "This world really is a cruel place…right down to it's core…"
It took a while but everyone started to calm down a bit. Everyone besides Makoto and Ragna walked out the room. Saya fell asleep on Ragna's lap and Noel fell asleep in Makoto tail. 'Saya…' he starts to gently pet her which earns him a smile and giggle from her. He smiles at the sleeping Saya and turns to Noel. They both lift them up and put them on the bed and walk out. Makoto closes the door slowly, trying her best not to wake them up. She looks at Ragna and smirks. "Your quite the big brother figure."
"Yeah right. Some big brother, can't even keep my family safe." Makoto pats him on the shoulder. "What you said to Noel and Saya, I have to say that was pretty amazing. I need to thank you for that Ragna. They looked so much better."
"You don't need too. I…just want to make sure that they're happy is all." Ragna looks down as Makoto notices the distress on his face. "So…are you thinking about Nu?" he says nothing. Makoto taking that as a yes. "You are, aren't you."
"I'm gonna have to fight her, maybe even worse... I'm just not sure if I can see her life taken away from her again." Ragna clenches his fist. " I think one time…was more than enough…"
"I know it might be harsh, but like you said we've got a job to do. Stop them from obtaining the azure and destroying the Master unit. Remember Rachel said we can't hesitate." Ragna nods. "Yeah I know. Just a little shaken is all." Makoto laughs. "You? Shaken up? Oh hell no! What did Kagura finally put down the porn magazines?" Ragna laughs. "Oh man, you can only wish for that miracle." A genuine smile comes across his face. He looks at Makoto, his tone of voice was tender. "You really do know how to cheer people up don't you?"
"Ah well, I do what I can." she says with pride. "Thanks, I needed that. I hope your there with me in the future as well. I'd like it if you were by my side Makoto. I really mean that." Makoto's cheeks turn pink as she started to stutter. "Wha!? I don't…really know what to say…"
"You don't need to say anything Makoto. Seriously. Thanks a lot." she starts to fidget with her fingers and looks towards the floor, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of red. "O-Oh…well I… don't know what to say... I-I try my best…"
"You ok Makoto? Your face is bright red. Like Tsubaki's hair red." She groans slightly. "Don't…say things like that you idiot... I might get the wrong idea..."
"You say something?" she shakes her head. "N-No… It's just what you said is…a little misleading..." Her whole face turns blood red. If you looked close enough you could see steam coming out of her ears. She looks back up at him. "Just watch what you say alright!"
"I'm so confused right now..." she sighs and calms down. "Honestly Ragna…" he puts a hand on her shoulder. "Seriously though Makoto. Thanks for that. I needed a little cheering up and I hope you can do the same for Noel and Saya. They need some positive attitude right now."
Makoto pumps her fist in the air. "Don't you worry! When it comes to cheering people up I'm the best there is!" Ragna chuckles. "I know I can count on you. But for now..." he groans as his stomach groans with him. He pats his belly. "If your going in their room I'll see you downstairs. Gonna get something to eat. I'm so fucking hungry right now I feel like I can eat a horse, hell even a bull."
"Na I'm hungry too you know." He shrugs. "Alright then. Come on let's go or I'll leave your ass behind."
"Right." He starts to walk, Makoto walking closely behind. 'What was that feeling just now? It's probably nothing, he just caught me off guard. I hope…' she groans. "Oh man... Celica is gonna kill me..."
Relius walks down an alley way in search of someone or in this case, something. As he walks his thoughts ran to Nu. The adjustments on her were going according to plan and no set backs on his progress. Relius stopped in his tracks and looked behind him. He saw a small boy with a large doll by his side as the boy smiles.
"It's been a long time father." The boy says as Relius sighs. He turns around to him and got a better look at the bot. A had large hat with blue eyes, blond hair and glasses. He wore clothes that was similar to that of his own, but they were a darker color with a sort of bell hanging down. "Carl, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to make you pay for what you did to my sister and my mother." Relius smirks. "Your going to make me pay? Do you really think you can?" he snaps his fingers as a large pink doll comes out. Carl recognized it well, his anger surfacing more as he stares at it. "Sis go!" Carl motions the doll next to him to go and fight as Relius did the same. "Ignis."
As they clashed the pink doll seems to be getting the upper hand on Nirvana. The doll jumps back to Carl. "Ada come on let's try again!" Nirvana charges back to Ignis as the two start to fight again. Carl takes the opportunity to charge to his father as he smirks. A large green fist appeared from the ground under him as he dodges it.
"It seems you still have a lot to learn." he looked to see Relius right next to him as a massive green fist collides with his side. The force of the impact sent him crashing into the wall as he falls to the ground with a thud. Carl struggles to get up as Nirvana runs to him. She helps him up as Ignis goes back to Relius. "That hatred you have is not enough to best me."
"Shut up! I'm gonna kill you for what you've done!" Carl's voice was filled with malice, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared the man down. Relius does nothing, but chuckle as he walks away. Relius was gone as Carl fell down on his knees and started to punch the floor. Anger, irritation, rage and sadness. All these emotions built up inside of him as they finally came out. After searching for him for so long he was defeated so easily. "Ada…please forgive me…"
The doll bends down to him and holds him as the two just stay there for a while. Carl hears someone coming as he looks to see a woman with a red opened dress walk down to him. She looks down to him "Are you ok?" the woman says.
Carl wipes his eyes. "Yes ma'am I'm ok." Litchi smiles as she looks at the boy. He wasn't heavily injured, but some wounds did need to be treated. "Your hurt!"
"N-No Miss it's really ok." Carl says in a polite manner.
"No your not! Come on I'm getting you patched up!" Litchi grabs his hand and starts to drag him off as the doll followed behind. For some reason Carl didn't want her to let go. The feeling of her holding his hand was kind of nostalgic. It was like he was holding his mother's hand. "Miss, what's your name?"
"My name is Litchi, Litchi Faye Ling. What's your name?" she smiles.
"My name is Carl Clover." She was shocked to hear that name as they stopped. He raises a brow. "What's wrong Ms. Litchi?" Carl asks as Litchi turns to him. "So…you really are..."
"Ms. Litchi?" Carl looks at her to see a worried expression on her face. "Are you…related to Relius in anyway?" Carl grudgingly nods his head. Litchi brings him in for a hug and holds him tightly. "So that automaton he carries around must be related to you too."
"How do you know that!?" Litchi points to the panda in her hair. It was like a pin she had to hold her ponytail together. "With this I can connect to the boundary and use it's power. It's helped me look for a certain someone that I've been trying to find for years. So you could say I've dealt with souls before. Their was a soul inside of that doll and it closely resembles the one standing right there and you." Carl looked down. "What happened? How did they end up like this?"
Normally he would have just walked away by now. This was a very sensitive topic that he hates to talk about. But something about her felt motherly to him and he didn't want to walk away from her. "It was seven years ago." He starts. "I came home one day and saw my father with my mother and my sister. To me it looked like a normal day, but I was dead wrong."
Litchi looked to saw tears forming in his eyes as his voice trembled and his fists clenched. "On that day, he put my sister and my mother's souls into these automatons. I wasn't able to protect them and even now I…!" Litchi knew what it felt like to feel responsible for horrific events like this. She gently stroked the back of his head. "It's ok…let it all out. I'm right here for you Carl… I'm right here."
Carl began to ball his eyes out as Litchi held him in her arms. Carl felt a sudden wave of emotions wash over him as his tears ran down his face and his voice trembled. Litchi continued to stroke his hair gently, relating tk him and feeling his pain. She felt bad for him. He was just a kid no older than fourteen and he went through all that. After a while Carl starts to calm down as Litchi asks in a soft voice. "Are you ok now?" he nods his head.
"Now Carl, let's go take care of those injuries that haven't healed yet." He nods his head as the two walk away. Nirvana followed behind as Carl felt sort of happy. He hasn't been held like that since he was a boy. When he looked up at her it was like talking to his mother. Carl reached out and gently grabbed her hand. Litchi looks at him and smiles. She tightened her grip on his hand a bit more. "Don't let go. Please…"
"I won't. I promise."
Relius walks down the sewers. The smell was revolting. Just being here made him want to throw up. However, what was up ahead was keeping him here and the reason why he came here in the first place. Ignis at his side he traverses the sewers looking for his target.
He hears slight movement and stops. "I knew you had to be here." He looks at the water that flowed next to him. Their was a small black puddle inside of the water, but it wasn't just some trash that piled up, but in it's case you could call it that. The black puddle formed into a goo like substance and jumped out in front of Relius.
The goo was jet black, almost like tar. The weird creature formed a white mask with three holes in it. Long arms that had claws flew out from his body at his sides. "Wh…ar…yo…?" this creature did not speak proper english. Just some jumbled mess and broken words. It was moving around and squirming endlessly. "You know exactly how I am. Well maybe not "you" but… Hehe oh this is quite interesting." Relius smirks and snaps his fingers as Ignis lunges at it and grabs it by what seemed to be it's head.
The creature screamed, it's voice reminded him of static. The creature tried to say something, but he didn't really care to listen. "Ignis. Incapacitate him." The doll lifts the creature up and slams it on the floor several times, the creature yelling in pain. After a couple slams the creature finally stops screaming and it's body began to calm down. Relius walks up to the specimen and looks over it carefully. "I suppose it was a good idea to bring that doctor along. Without her it would've been a bit more trouble to track this specimen down. To think he would still be alive after delving into the boundary like a fool. Or could this be a vessel and the soul itself is still in the boundary?"
He chuckles a little. "The boundary truly is a mysterious place. Filled with endless information. If you have enough to keep "yourself" self-aware and in the boundary of all places, using this thing as a vessel to traverse this world, then you can provide me with some fascinating observations now can't you. Roy Carmine. I guses you go by the name "Arakune" now." Ignis turns to him. "Yes Ignis let us be on our way. We have work to do." He hears footsteps and turns around to see Terumi walking over to him.
"So this is where you were. You said you had business to take care of but I didn't know it was this." He looks at Arakune and shivers. "Damn... Shit really did just get real. Yuck."
"Terumi. Is our preparations in order?" he nods. "Yes sir!"
"Very well." they hear someone walking towards them. The person comes into a view. A slender woman with large breasts, a large purple pointy hat and purple cape comes into view. She stops next to them and looks at Arakune. "So this "thing" is gonna isolate the place? Why are we using something so disgusting?"
"As foul a creature it might be it's connection to the boundary is quite remarkable. The altar can be created using him and with that the souls can be gathered more efficiently." Relius explains. The woman nods. "Ok...but still. I think these sewers smell better then this...thing." the woman covers her nose. "Contain it." Relius says.
"Fine..." she snaps her fingers, a black aura surrounds Arakune, trapping it and shrinking to create a small black ball. Relius takes the ball and puts it in his pocket. "I believe our work is done. Let us be off now."
"Finally." the woman sighs. Terumi starts to laugh, and wicked smile comes across his face, extending from ear to ear.
"Next stop. Akitsu."
