Chapter One: He who Devoured the Azure.

The sky was pitch black and thunder could be heard roaring high above the clouds. It suddenly began to rain and the water began to wash away the blood stained battlefield, one whose sole comparison could be hell itself. Countless bodies lay scattered all over the ruins of the battlefield, some those of soldiers while others seemed like those of deformed creatures. Amidst this living hell two figures stood in the rain.

"Why, why did all this have to happen..." said Ragna as he fell to his knee with the body of a young girl in his arm, it was Saya. His eyes were full of despair and no light seemed to beam in his eyes.

"Eh, why you ask? The answer is quite obvious. You humans are weak and fragile creatures, and my greatest joy is crushing your hopes" answers the mysterious man as a smirk began to grow on his face.

"Don't bullshit; do you think humans are your toys? Do you have any idea how many people have died because of you" said Ragna as his anger rose to its peak.

The man just laughed and began to walk away. "This world has been crumbled to nothing, besides me and you nothing else here is alive. The looks on your face is quite intriguing you have fallen to the depths of despair yet you still have spunk" said the man as he smiles.

"Go to hell! I swear I will haunt you and when I find you I will make sure you die the most cruelest and painful death" said Ragna as his anger kept rising.

The man then raises his hands with a smirk and signals the creatures that surrounded him. "Finish him, make sure he suffers" then the man turned and faced Ragna. "Boy if you manage to survive this I will be waiting for you, my name is Kira" the man said as he vanishes into the shadows.

The creatures were slowly closing in on him, Ragna begins to tightly hold Sayas lifeless body. "I'm sorry Saya...I was unable to protect you or anyone else, I'm really sorry" tears begin to fall from Ragna's eyes. Everything Ragna had was gone, Noel, Rachel, Jin, Tsubaki...everyone and everything he had was now gone.

Ragna brings Saya's body toward his chest and hugs her. He begins to laugh but not out of happiness or because he thought this was a dream, honestly he wished it was one. It was out of pure sarcasm of how he lost everything he worked years to gain in a matter of weeks.

Despite what he said to the man Ragna no longer had the will to fight, he nothing to protect and nothing to gain. "Well guys seems like i am going to be with you guys soon" Thought Ragna as he stared into the sky. The creatures were already close there was no escape, but when he was about to accept his death a voice rang in his head.

"Are you going to just stand here and die a dog's death?" asked the voice. It was a dark and eerie voice and his instincts told him exactly what was speaking to him.

"Your end approaches, will you just accept like this. I will lend you a hand, come on and say the words if you wish to live" The voice grew louder and the look of despair that was on Ragna's face began to disappear.

"Do it revive me and live to see a tomorrow" Ragna sighed at what the voice said and looked down. "Sorry guys it seems I won't be joining you guys just yet".

Ragna raises his right hand and speak out the words he never expected to utter in his life again. "Restriction 666 released, Dimensional Interference Field Deployed! Now Engaging The Idea Engine! BlazBlue, Activate!". Seithir gathered around Ragna's arm and he then realized something, his Azure was out of control.

Ragna began to turn into the black beast and the only thing he saw before becoming unconscious was the darkness turning everything into nothing.

Meanwhile, in the chronophantasma timeline….

"Dammit, where are those idiots" said Ragna The Bloodedge as he pounded his fist against a wall. It had been about 5 hours since Kokonoe had told him that Noel and Makoto had ran off on their own and that she hasn't heard from them since.

"I've searched everywhere and I still can't find them. Shit if Terumi got to them before I do things will go bad" said Ragna as he let's out a sigh. Suddenly his head begins to hurt and sudden images just flash through his head. An image of him turning into a the black beast and laying everything to to waste.

"W-what the heck was that" said Ragna terrified of what he just witnessed. He felt cold sweat drip down his face. After a few seconds he managed to calm down, then he looked at his grimoire. "That was really strange yet it felt so real, what the heck is happening" said Ragna as worry began to befall upon him.

He had already been warned that he could turn into the black beast and this was a fact that he had to face but that felt real yet unreal to him. Ragna then begins to walk, "Dammit I have no time to worry about it, I will ask Rachel about it later but for now I have to find those idiots" said ragna as he goes on to continue his search, but the thoughts of what he saw couldn't leave his mind.

Ragna awakens and scouts around his surroundings to only notice that nothing but darkness surrounded him. "where is this place, where am I?" questioned Ragna as he kept looking around.

"Oh so you're finally awake, welcome to the Boundary" spoke the same voice Ragna had heard before only this time it seemed to be in front of him instead then in his head.

"Who's there" questioned Ragna as he got up on his guard. His head body hurt and his head felt like it was about to explode.

"Don't fret I won't harm my own self" spoke the beast as Ragna turned towards it and finally saw it.

"Oh shit it's the fucking black beast?!" said Ragna in surprise as he stepped back. The creature was enormous and you couldn't make it from the darkness that was all around. The only giveaway to its location was its red eyes that beamed in the darkness.

"Oh are you afraid to see your own self" mocked the beast.

"What are you talking about" asked Ragna with nothing but fear. He had heard the black beast was terrifying but seeing it up close was something he never expected.

"I am you and you are me, you and I are one and the same person"

"Your power is my power, your life is my life, meaning if you died I would also die" explained the beast.

Ragna tried to speak but no words came out he could only stare at the beast. Then suddenly the beast said something to him that snapped him out of his daze.

"Do you desire revenge? Do you desire to make the one who did this to you pay?" asked the beast. Its red eyes grew fiercer and one of its heads moved closer to him. "If this is your desire I will help you and lend you all my power".

Ragna looked at the beast in shock. The monster that almost destroyed the world 100 years ago is willing to help him. "Why are you deciding to help me" asked Ragna out of curiosity.

"I've been trapped in here for years, I desire to be free but I have no intentions of destroying the world. Become one with me and we will have the power to stop the one named Kira" said the beast as it moved its many heads towards Ragna. "Do you accept?'

"Fine I accept I will do anything to stop whatever that bastard is planning" said Ragna with a smirk on his face. He then extends his Right hand to the beast, "let's do this".

"As you wish", the beast touches Ragna's hand and seithir completely consumes Ragna. Ragna shuts his eyes as he accepted the darkness. When Ragna opened his eyes again he felt an amazing power surging to him.

"Th-this is the power of the black beast? Such an amazing power" said Ragna in amazement.

"Your power now surpasses even that of the true azure, you can now directly access the azure's powers". Spoke the beast as his voice rang in Ragna's head. "To simply put it, you could even say that you and the azure are now one and the same".

"Eh?! No way". This was something beyond what he imagined. His master had always told him to never mistake the Azure's power for his own but now it basically belonged to him.

"Oh, I forgot to mention but your appearance has also changed... quite a bit" spoke the beast.

In front of Ragna a reflection of him appeared. It had blond hair, its eyes as blue as the azure sky and it's jacket that was once red was pure white.

"What the hell? is that me?" questioned Ragna.

"Indeed it is, now to do something about that Nox Nyctores of yours".

The beast was right his Blood-Scythe was badly broken to an extent that fixing it seemed impossible.

Two gauntlets appeared in front of Ragna, they were black and looked like they were carved in the shape of a dragon.

"This is your new Nox: Black Dragon Kiramaru, and from this day forward you name will no longer be BloodEdge, But Ragna the Azure" spoke the beast.

"Hey I never used such a close Range weapon and what's wrong with BloodEdge?" questioned Ragna.

"You're about to jump into an alternative timeline if the you here and the one there have the same name things will get confusing. This way it's simpler and less confusing"

Ragna lets out a sigh and accepts the beast's words. He would retort because he rather not change his name, but the beast had a point.

A portal appears before them. "If you walk through this portal you will enter the world he's in. Are you ready?"

"I am more than ready to kick that bastard's ass, let's get going". Ragna begins walking towards the portal and as he enters it he thinks, "Saya, guys I guess this is where we part way. But I swear I will stop that bastard and make him pay".

Ragna opens his eyes to realize he was in a room which seemed well made, when suddenly he heard voices and took cover behind a pillar.

"Terumi have thou completed thy task" asked Izanami

"Of course imperator the soul harvesting is going well, only a few more and we will have enough" said Terumi as he pushed the tip of his hat down.

"Very well then, what of the two new recruits" asked the goddess in Saya's body.

"Oh you mean, Kira Hiromi and Hikaru Orochi. They are very skilled I promoted them to Major but only Kira accepted, the girl just wanted to be his secretary so I let her" said Terumi seeming to be amused.

"Is that all thou has to report, if so be gone I wish to rest" spoke the imperator.

"As you wish" said Terumi as he began to walk out.

"well ain't this great the portal led to a NOL headquarters and to make things worse it's the imperator's room. But That bastard Kira is also in this world seems I hit the jackpot" Thought Ragna to himself.

The imperator sat at her throne and began to look around. Ragna knew one thing from his first encounter with Kira. It told him that Kira wanted the goddess since he attacked Saya when it all began a week ago, and the fact that Kira was working for the NOL here proved his point. This was a perfect chance to get the goddess before Kira did.

Ragna activates his azure letting a large amount of seithir into the room and the goddess slowly begins to faint. Izanami uttered "How did you get..." before falling unconscious. Ragna carries her princess style and begins to walk towards the door.

"How do you plan on making it out of here" a voice asked amused.

A smirk formed on Ragna's face, "Through the front door of course" spoke Ragna joking as he opened the door. This was going to be a very long day.

Ragna had begin to run when he hears someone behind him. "Heh? I thought you left" said Ragna smirking.

"Well, well, well if it isn't our old buddy Rags trying to sneak away with his dear sister" said Terumi with a sadistic look on his face. "I don't know how you got in here but I congratulate you on a job well done" Terumi begins to walk towards him.

"Heh? Did you dye your hair blonde again? And what's with the getup seems like you went through a complete makeover" teased Terumi. "Well could I please have the imperator back or should I resort to more violent actions" said Terumi as a wicked smirk formed on his face.

"I wonder if all Terumi's are assholes no matter what world you go to" Thought Ragna. "Sorry but I can't do that she's coming with me".

Suddenly Terumi calls his Nox Nyctores: Ouroboros. Ragna quickly moves to the left then lays Izanami against the wall. "Well shit, I was hoping I could get out of here trouble free but seems that's out of the question" he said as he summoned his Nox: Kiramaru. "Dammit I hope I can use this. It's a dam strange Nox I never seen anything like It" thought Ragna.

"Don't worry, it will show you what to do" the black beast spoke.

Terumi strikes again.

-Eternal Coils of the Dragon Serpents

Ragna dodges by jumping up and yells

-Phantom Striker

A dark flame which looked like it was made of seithir appeared around his leg and he kicked Terumi from above, making him hit head first into the ground.

"Oh shit, this thing is powerful" thought Ragna. This wasn't his fighting style but it would have to do.

Terumi jumps up and moves away. "WHY YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT" said Terumi in complete anger. "Die!"

-Serpents Infernal Rapture

Ragna once again easily dodges it. He couldn't believe his own speed, he seemed like he was moving faster than Jubei ever did. "Shit time to rap this up before I attract unneeded attention". Ragna did as the Nox instructed him and he spoke

-Soul Devourer

Suddenly a black dragon that looked like the black beast appeared from his fist. Its body completely made out of seithir and its mouth opened and it went through Terumi. A few seconds later Terumi fell on the floor unconscious.

"Did that do it?" asked Ragna as he looked over Terumi.

"Seems so" spoke a voice on the speaker.

"I never thought I would live to see the day Terumi was utterly defeated by you" said Relius.

From his office Relius had observed everything. This proved problematic for Ragna because the fact that he could see him meant he could probably….

Suddenly the alarms went off

"All Soldier of NOL I repeat all soldier of NOL Ragna The BloodEdge is within the building and is currently escaping while holding the imperator captive capture him at all cost".

"Well I thought so". Ragna grabs Saya and begins running. At every corner NOL Soldiers began to pour in. "Dammit seems like I'm outnumbered". He kept changing his routes until he came to a dead end. He was now surrounded with no way out, when suddenly his Nox showed him it's astral.

"Well it's this or execution" he said letting out a sigh. Raising one of his arms he yelled

-Endless Requiem Of Darkness

Behind him a portal appeared and many heads of the black beast striked the NOL soldiers leaving none standing or breathing.

"Time to get out of here" holding on to Saya tightly he made a hole through the wall and jumped down. He was finally home free and he made sure no one was following him. Little did he know his bold action was about to make someone else's life a little bit harder.

.

A few hours later…

Ragna the BloodEdge gently strikes Noel and Makoto's head. "What the hell were you two idiots thinking?" said Ragna with a scowl on his face. "Do you have any idea of what I went through to find you two?" asked Ragna looking at Noel and Makoto

"W-were sorry" said Noel as she looked like she was about to cry.

"Hey you asshole your making Noel cry" said Makoto as she hugged Noel.

"Fine I'm sorry" said Ragna as he patted Noel's head. "Don't do anything this reckless again got it?" asked Ragna as he let out a sigh.

Noel began to cheer up when a sudden piece of paper being dragged by the wind hit's Makoto in the face. She picks it up from her face and the look on her face after seeing the paper changed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" said Makoto looking at the paper.

"What's wrong you dam squirrel" asked Ragna.

"Look at this" she shows him the paper. It's a wanted poster and the picture looked exactly like him. The only difference was the blonde hair, white clothes and blue eyes.

Ragna sighs, "It's just another poorly drawn picture of me nothing else".

"No you dumbass look at the bounty" Makoto points out.

After seeing the bounty Ragna turned completely white. What the hell had he done to drive his bounty from what it was to it's current amount. His bounty had risen from being "the amount to buy a small country" to one that could "Buy a whole country".

Rachel then appears before them. "Oh seems you found the two of them" stated Rachel snapping Ragna out of his surprised state.

"What do you want, you dam Rabbit" asked Ragna with a scowl.

"Oh I just came to congratulate you on your brave actions" said Rachel rather amused.

"What the hell do you mean?" asked Ragna in confusion.

"Oh have you already forgotten your brave actions? It's not any person who would strike at the heart of the NOL and then kidnap the imperator afterwards" said Rachel said with a smirk forming on her lips.

"I DID WHAT?! And WHAT DO YOU MEAN SAYA HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED?!" Said Ragna. He did not know rather to be worried or angry.

"Almost all NOL officers are after you. I advise you come with me if you desire to live. I will explain everything to you" said Rachel.

"Ok got it" Ragna, Makoto and Noel followed Rachel, but one thought remained on Ragna's mind, "What the hell was going on".

Izanami woke up only to notice she was lying on a bed, and that she was no longer within the NOL headquarters. She tried to use her Magic but she was unable to. Then she heard a voice say, "Give it up I sealed your god powers so you are unable to use them.

"That is impossible, release me now or pay with thy's life" said Izanami seeming as if she was getting angry.

"Sorry but that's a no can do" said Ragna letting out a sigh. "You're the goddess Izanami right?" asked Ragna although he full well knew the answer.

"Before asking someone else's name thou must say thy name first" stated Izanami.

"My name is Ragna the Bloo- no, name is Ragna the Azure, I am Ragna the BloodEdge from a different timeline or dimension. Call it whatever you like, but I will need you to stay under my watch for a little while.
