(Cathedral)

It was quite empty in a big cathedral. Mainly due to how run-down and ancient it was. There was cracks and holes everything in the huge building. Because of this, there was not a single soul inside.

Well, except for one.

One sole person sat down on a large block. He was a young man with short blonde hair. He was dressed in a blue-and-white outfit that looked like modern military clothes. In his hands held a blue sheath that held a katana. He seemed to be deep in thought.

"Where is that brother of mine?" The man complained.

He was Jin Kisaragi. The Commander of the Novus Orbis Librarium and the Hero of Ikaruga. However, despite having such a big reputation, he didn't really have a heroic personality. He was rude, cold and all-around unfriendly.

Also he had a darker side to him. And it was also shown when in front of his older brother. The vigilante, Ragna the Bloodedge.

"Knowing him, he is obviously finding a way to find Terumi." Jin mused. "But how? Knowing him, he is willing to turn EVERYWHERE upside-down to find him."

He then sighed in hopelessness. He realized that just stopping and thinking would do no good. He merely stopped there to take a break from searching. Deciding to continue onwards, he got up.

Suddenly, he heard a noise from the side of him. Immediately, he reached for the handle of his katana.

"Who's there!?" He demanded.

He then saw two balls of light. One white and one black. Both of them hovering off the ground.

"What the devil is this?" He asked.

Then, the two balls slowly floated towards each other slowly resulting in a bright flash blinding Jin. When the light clears, Jin was nowhere to be seen.

(Citadel City)

Jin laid face-first on a stone pavement unconscious. However, he groaned before slowly regaining consciousness. With a groan, he lifted himself slowly and got up. Looking around, he found that he was in a dark alley with his trademark sheath a few feet away from him.

"Where… Where am I?" Jin asked weakly. He then slowly picked up his sheath and made his way out of the alley wondering where in the world he was.

Making his way out of the alley, he noticed that he was in some kind of citadel city. Jin scanned the arena only to find how different it was from any of the places he was in.

"Those two light… Why have they brought me here?" Jin mused. He then scowled. "Ugh! I don't have time for this! Whatever brought me here, I have to get back!"

With that, he walked out to talk to different people to see where he was. However, when he asked around, he found that he was nowhere near any place there. In fact, they didn't knew any of the places, he had mentioned.

"What do you mean that you never heard of the Librarium?" Jin asked in disbelief.

"Just like I said, pal. I never heard of it." A man shrugged.

"It is the freaking GOVERNMENT of this world!" Jin exclaimed. "You mean to tell me that you had been lying down under a rock for so long that you don't even know who is in power!"

The man merely crossed his arms. "Apparently so seeing that I never heard of such a government. Now I could tell that you are lost. But if you ever want to find the place you are looking for, I suggest getting an attitude adjustment."

With that, the man walked off with his hands in his pocket leaving Jin exasperated.

"What is with these townspeople!?" Jin asked in disbelief. "They don't even know their own government!? I have absolutely no sympathy if they get punished for their actions!"

With that, he had gone off to ask someone else for information. He made his way over to a shop where a bulky vendor was talking to a young woman. Sighing in annoyance, he decided to make his way over.

"Excuse me, sir…" Jin said getting the vendor and the woman's attention. "But…"

CRACK!

Kin Kisaragi staggered back holding his face. Feeling it, he quickly found out he was bleeding. With wide eyes, he looked at his attacker. She had sea green hair with a white and black formal outfit while carrying a whip.

"What the!?" Jin cried.

"It is very rude to interrupt someone when they are talking to someone." The woman said in a German accent.

Jin stared in disbelief. He then growled before reaching for his handle. After the day he had so far, being attacked was the last thing he needed.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" The vendor said seeing where this was going. "Let's talk this out!"

"This wretch had attacked out of the blue!" Jin growled. "There is no way I am going to take that lying down!"

"Wretch!? How dare you!" The woman roared.

With that, she lashed her whip at Jin again only for the swordsman to deflect the attack with his katana.

"Not so tough when you don't have the element of surprise, huh?" Jin said darkly.

The woman growled. "You foolishly foolish fool! You are pay for your arrogance!"

"That is my line." Jin said narrowing his eyes.

The vendor looked back and forth between the two fighters before shaking his head. "Kids these days."

(Round One: Franziska Von Karma)

Franziska snapped her whip at Jin who quickly blocked the attack with his sheath. He then charged holding slashing at the woman. Franziska shrieked before jumping back. The attorney shot out her foot.

However, Jin again blocked the attack. Countering the attack, he slammed his sheath into Franziska's stomach. Hard. The woman's eyes widened in pain.

"You think just swinging your whip would help you win." Jin said coldly. "I could sense your lack of actual fighting skill from a mile away."

With that, he let Franziska collapse on her back unconscious. Making sure she was down for good, she made her way over to the vendor.

"Okay, here is the situation. I had been asking around this area for who knows how long and all I want to know is where I am." Jin said in exasperation. "I am in a really bad mood."

"Oh, gee. I couldn't tell." The vendor said shaking his head. "That being said, you aren't the only one who is having the same problem as you."

Jin's eyes widened at this. "What do you mean?"

"Well recently, there have been a lot of people asking around for where they are and asking for a specific location." The vendor said. "Places that people had never heard of before."

Jin raised an eyebrow. Was that why nobody knew what he was talking about?

"Do you have any idea what is the cause?" Jin asked.

"Well, I DO have my theory but I wonder if I should tell someone like you." The vendor said.

"Excuse me?" Jin asked crossing his arms.

"Well, you had just challenged that young woman to a fight." The vendor mused.

"Hey, she attacked ME first!" Jin scolded.

"That still didn't excuse your attitude." The vendor scolded.

Jin narrowed his eyes. "You do realize that I am the police where I am from."

"Well, here you are nothing more than another customer." The vendor said coolly.

Jin growled before scoffing. "Okay, fine. If that is what you are going to be, I'll find out what you are talking about myself. For all I know, you may be lying just to con me out of some money."

The vendor narrowed his eyes. "Fine!"

Jin then walked off ignoring the amount of people coming to Franziska's aid.

(Citadel Entrance)

Jin didn't take long to leave the citadel city. If he ever wanted to go back to familiar territory, he had to broaden his horizons and search new places.

Carrying his sheath, he made his way out of the entrance onto a drawbridge.

"Assuming that vendor wasn't trying to cheap me, what was it he was so hesitant to tell me?" Jin asked. "Whatever brought me here had to be powerful."

Suddenly, a new voice had brought him out of his train of thought.

"Excuse me?"

Jin raised his eyebrow before turning around to see a man running towards. Jin seemed a bit startled. The figure was about his age, had the same hair type and colour and was dressed in white and blue as well. The other man noticed this and they stared into each other's eyes.

"Wow…" The man said in awe.

Jin paused. "Is there something you want?"

"Yes, have you seen a girl around here?" The man asked.

"I see many girls." Jin said flatly before turning around. "Anyway, I can't help you."

"Please, if you could at least tell me you had seen at least one particular girl." The man pleaded holding out his hand.

"What part of I can't help you don't you understand?" Jin said raising his voice a bit. "I have my own problems."

With that, he walked off leaving the man appalled by his rudeness.

"I don't believe you." He said shaking his head in disgust. "You are just uncooperative as that mismatched-eyed swordsman with the white hair."

Hearing this, Jin's eyes widened before whirling around.

"You had seen a mismatched-eyed swordsman with white hair?" Jin asked making his way over. "Where had you seen him? Tell me everything you know!"

The man stepped back taken by Jin's sudden change in character. He then narrowed his eyes.

"You won't even bother to listen to me and you expect me to help you find who are you looking for?" The man said.

Jin paused before getting into his stance. "All right. I see how it is."

The man got out a sword and shield while shaking his head. "You have no one to blame for yourself."

(Round Two: Flynn Scifo)

Jin and Flynn lunged at each other readying their respective weapons. The two swung their swords at each other causing sparks with each other while glaring into each other's eyes.

"Tell me where you saw that man!" Jin demanded.

"I'll tell you when YOU tell ME if you at least seen that girl!" Flynn shot back.

Jin roared before surprising Flynn with a knee to the gut. With Flynn taken off-guard, Jin slammed the handle of his katana into the side of his head before smashing his sheath onto his head. Flynn fell to the ground out cold.

Jin cast his fallen foe a cold look. He then turned around to walk off.

"Ragna is here." Jin said wasting no time stomping off. "My brother is here!"

(Forest Clearing)

Jin made his way through the forest way outside of the citadel knowing that his brother was in this world just like him. He knew that he had to find him as soon as possible if he was here. So he could finally finish the score.

He was so busy on finding his brother that he wasn't looking where he was going and ended up bumping into another person in the forest.

BUMP.

Flynn staggered back holding his head. He looked up to see who he had bumped into to find a teenaged boy. He had green hair with a flat cap and red gauntlets.

"Hey, watch where you are going, pretty-boy!" The teenager roared.

Jin narrowed his eyes. "Oh no… I think it is YOU who should watch where they are going."

"What are you talking about!?" The teenager scolded. "You practically SLAMMED into me."

Jin shook his head. "I have no time for this. Look, I have something to do so I let this slide."

He was about to walk off until the teenager ran into his way.

"Do you really think I am going to let you get away with that?" The teenager asked getting out two swords. "You got a weapon, right? I suggest you get it out!"

Jin growled. "I don't have time for this."

"Well then, you shouldn't have messed with me." The teenager said with a smirk.

Jin scoffed before putting his hand on his handle. Just another annoying distraction to him.

(Round Three: Spada Belforma)

Jin got out his katana and stabbed forward only for Spada to block with his twin swords. Countering the attack, Spade shot his foot out catching Jin in the stomach causing him to stagger back. Spada then took another swing.

However, Jin recovered from the attack and leaped over the attack. While in mid-air, he grabbed Spada and spiked him to the ground. Jin then leapt up into the air and landed hard on Spada's back. The green-haired swordsman cried out in pain before falling unconscious. Jin shook his head before walking off.

"Another little punk." Jin scoffed.

A part of him wanted to see if he saw Ragna but a delinquent wouldn't be so cooperative so he had better off not asking. Besides, this world doesn't know the problems of his own so he could ask around for Ragna without causing a commotion.

All he could hope was that he could find him before he goes off.

(Raft Ride)

Fortunately for Jin, he had finally found someone who had seen Ragna. He had taken a raft ride to the river. Now doing his next move to make, he found someone with a raft and asked them to use it. Now he was carrying the river hoping to catch up with his brother.

Sitting on his raft, he was actually ecstatic at the fact that he may finally find his brother again.

And when he does, he will kill him.

You see, Jin has a very… unhealthy obsession with his brother, Ragna. When he finds him, he will completely act different and turns into a lunatic and becomes obsessed with slaying his brother. When Jin finds Ragna, to say that it would be ugly would be an understatement.

He was continuing his train of thought until he heard a noise. Jerking up to reality, he found someone had landed on his raft. She was a young dark-skinned young woman with a red ninja outfit and hot pink hair dressed in a ponytail. She had her arms crossed in a stern fashion.

Jin narrowed his eyes. "You better have a good reason for appearing on my ride."

"Actually, yes I am." The woman said narrowing her eyes. "I am here to stop you."

Jin's eyes widened at this. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me." The woman said. "My ninja senses alerted to dark ambitions and those ambitions came from YOU."

"Ninja senses? You mean you are a ninja?" Jin asked rolling his eyes. "And I thought Bang Shishigami was a disgrace to the name."

"What is THAT supposed to mean?" The woman said offended.

"I mean people can use you and your obnoxious pink hair from miles away." Jin said flatly.

"Hey, just because my whole appearance doesn't blend well in the darkness doesn't mean I am a bad ninja!" The woman snapped.

Jin shook his head. "What was it you were saying about dark ambitions anyway?"

"Just like I said, I had sensed a spike of dark ambitions." Star said darkly. "You are up to something."

Jin narrowed his eyes. "And I fail to see how these "dark ambitions" you claim I have is any of your business."

"It is my duty as a ninja to stop evil." The woman said readying a kodachi on her back. "Draw your weapon or drop it."

Jin shook his head in disbelief. "Whatever brought me here is attracting a lot of clowns."

"Silence!"

(Round Four: Star)

Star threw a kunai at Jin who deflected it with his katana. The latter lunged at his foe slashing at her who back-flipped out of harm's way.

Star lunged forward getting out her kodachi and slashed at Jin. The blonde man thought quickly and blocked with his sword. Star made up for her mistake and shot her foot out.

Which would had connected if Jin didn't caught Star's foot surprising her.

"You are just as obnoxious as your hair colour." Jin said flatly.

Using most of his strength, he threw Star straight off the raft and into the water with a big splash. Jin scoffed before sitting down.

"This is getting ridiculous." Jin said shaking his head. "At the rate these distractions are going, I may never reach Ragna."

He then looked ahead. With our goal so close, hopefully this would be the last of these distractions.

(Old Castle Balcony)

Soon, his raft had reached his destination and he made his way onto to shore to continue his search for Ragna. It took him a while and had to cross a large barren wasteland. Despite tired from the journey and his previous fights, he had managed to reach a location.

It was some kind of old ruins of some kind of castle. It was in a dusty brown colour and it looked like there was some kind of battle going. Jin could sense a dark aura coming from the castle.

However, he also sensed a familiar aura. His eyes widened in shock realizing a sensation taking over his body as his whole body started to tremble.

He then let out a big grin.

"BROTHER!"

Giving a loud out-of-character shout, he stampeded into the castle leaving a large trail of dust behind him. Jin wasted no time rushing up the stairs completely ignoring the fatigue in his legs.

Once he had quickly made his way to the top, he found him. A young man with white spike hair and a red coat with mismatched eyes and a strangely-shaped sword. Seeing Jin, the man jumped.

"Not you again!" Ragna said slapping his head.

"Oh, brother! I thought I was going to be stuck in this stupid world forever!" Jin beamed. "But now I see that you are in it as well!"

"Just when I was just saying that one of the benefits of this world is being away from people like you…" Ragna muttered.

"Come, brother!" Jin said grinning like a maniac. "And let's together forever in death!"

Ragna shook his head before getting into his stance. "This day just gets worse and worse!"

(Destined Battle: Ragna the Bloodedge)

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Sparks flew as the swords of the two mismatched brotherly duo clashed in with each other. While Ragna was gritting his teeth, Jin was grinning like mad.

"Oh, brother! Your scowl is as lovely as always!" Jin cheered.

"Shut up!" Ragna roared engulfing his sword in dark energy and slashing at Jin who leaped back from the attack.

Jin continued to laugh before readying putting his katana back into his sheath.

"Let's ensure…"

He then dashed straight at the stunned Ragna slashing him in the side. The white-haired man winced before holding his side. Jin stood up straight and slowly putting his katana back into his sheath.

"Your death, brother!" Jin yelled fully sheathing him weapon. Then, a burst of ice appeared onto Ragna making him cry in the pain. The mismatched-eyed man cried out in pain. He then collapsed on his knees and fell onto his face.

Jin turned around with a grin. "Don't you see, brother? I had gotten stronger!"

He was about to go over and finish the job. That was until he heard a familiar sound. Turning his head, he saw the two balls from before hovering quite a few feet away from him. Suddenly, the two balls of light changed form into swords. The white ball turned into a sword of beautiful crystal while the black ball turned into a sword made out of flesh.

"Greetings, child." The crystal sword said. "I am Soul Calibur, the sword of order."

"And I am Soul Edge, the sword of chaos."The flesh sword said.

Jin blinked twice.

"I don't care if you are Mother Teresa! You are ruining my time with my brother! Now scoot!" He roared.

The two swords jumped at this.

"How dare you!?" Soul Edge roared. "Do you know who I am, mortal!?"

"What part of I don't care, don't you understand?" Jin snapped. "Leave me be!"

"But… But you had defeated all five of your opponents." Soul Calibur pleaded. "You HAVE to choose one of us!"

"No, I don't!" Jin snapped. "All I wanted was to go back home to see my brother again and now he is here, I don't even care if I ever get back home!"

Soul Edge then floated straight up into his face. "Fool! Do you even know what you are giving up here!?"

"We can give you the power to give you anything your heart desire!" Soul Calibur begged.

Jin's eyebrow twitched. "I said…"

He then got out his katana and slashed at them knocking both swords off of the castle.

"SCOOT!" Jin roared.

The two swords fell from the balcony screaming. Jin just stared in the direction they had fallen off not bothering to make sure that they were destroyed.

He didn't cared about those two swords, the power they wield or even going home right now. Right now, he was with his brother and he could finally kill him once and for all.

Suddenly, he heard a groan. Turning around, he saw Ragna using his sword to prop himself up.

"Oh, goody!" Jin grinned. "You want to play us some more!"

Ragna growled. "Forget it! I am DONE playing around!"

Jin let out a psychotic laugh. "Oh, I love it when you play serious, brother!"

With that, the two got into their stance. Their destined battle wasn't over. Not by a long shot.

…Even in a vague, distant land, the sibling rivalry between Jin and Ragna continues on…

NOTE: …Okay, that wasn't the most… deep ending ever but considering how overly-obsessive Jin was over Ragna, he couldn't care less about the swords.
