AN: Sorry for the late update I had Midterms, but forget about that and welcome to the fourth chapter of Dimensional Shift. It's time for Kira to finally let out his twisted personality and finally get some action. Now let's get this started.

Chapter 4: Awakening
"Tsubaki!" said Noel and Makoto as they raced towards her.
"Noel, Makoto what are you doing here?" asked Tsubaki as she looked at her friends who were now her enemies.
"It's a long story little lady" said Jubei as he and Valkenhayn approached her.
"Are you Jubei and Valkenhayn of the Six Heroes?" asked an excited Tsubaki. Despite the situation that's currently taking place she was still happy and excited to meet the six heroes which she admired.
"Whoa, calm down will ya. Hahaha, seems you're really excited to meet us old folks"
"Ah I'm sorry, it's just that I really admire and look up to the Six Heroes" said a blushing Tsubaki. "I'm sorry for intruding but I don't quite understand the current situation, there is two Ragna the Bloodedge and I don't quite understand where I am".
"That's quite alright miss, even we don't quite understand what's happening as for where you are you're in Madam Rachel's castle" said Valkenhayn.
"Guess I got more questions now" said Kagura looking over to Azure who was sitting next to Nu. Nu was hugging his arm, Kagura then stares at Izanami who looked quite displeased.
"So Azure we need ya to answers more questions for us and Miss Yayoi feel free to join" said Jubei looking at Azure.
"Sure go right ahead, after what Nu said I doubt you don't have any more things to ask" said Azure while sighing.
"So you a mere dog were head of the Librarium" said Rachel as she closed her eyes.
"Yes I was Rachel" said Azure letting out a sigh. He was trying as hard as he could to not call Rachel a rabbit, after all she was not the Rachel from his world.
"How is that possible, you're a wanted criminal" said Tsubaki as anger filled her.
"In this world I might be but that doesn't mean I was in the world I came from".
"Thou shall explain to us how thou became the Imperator" said Izanami.
"Sure it's not a hard explanation after all. Some people just thought it work dam well if they made the person who hated the NOL most the Imperator" said Azure as he stared towards the sky.
"So why did you accept the job? Didn't you hate the Librarium?" asked Ragna with a scowl.
"Yeah I did, but my fight with the NOL was finish and I had no reason to fight. We snapped that asshole Terumi out of his mind control and fixed up all the shit that was messed up" said Azure with a sigh.
"What do you mean snapped out of the mind control, are you telling me your Terumi was still under mind control?" asked Kokonoe with a scowl.
"Yeah but not from Konoe, this mind control was done by the Imperator herself meaning Saya" said Azure with a smile. "She did a good job of turning that asshole into a bigger asshole."
"Are you implying that Terumi from your world was not evil?" asked a surprise Valkenhayn.
"Nope he was not as much as I hate to admit it. He never backstabbed you guys until the future where Izanami placed him under her control". Azure than stands up and looks towards the others. "That's why Konoe was still alive in my world" said Azure as he looked at Jubei.
"Well I'll be dammed Konoe was still alive in your world" asked Jubei.
"Yeah she was but like Terumi she was also under mind control, and man I gotta say she was a pain in the ass to deal with I was happy when the you from my world said he would handle her" said Azure as he sighed.
"Hahahaha!, that sounds like Konoe alright" said Jubei as he laughed.
"So thou are saying that I was the root of all evil in your world" asked Izanami as she looked towards Azure. For some reason her heart hurt and she felt anger surge inside when she saw Azure.
"Nope" was Azures answer.
"Huh?! Then who were you fighting against" asked Kagura.
"My enemy was the Imperious Librarium but she just despised this world, all I did was give her a reason not to despise it" said Azure with a nostalgic smile. "In the end she and Saya decided to share the same body so I had to be careful not to make her jealous or angry…..things tended to get painful if I did".
"What exactly happened if you got Miss Saya angry" asked Rachel with a smirk.
"Oh nothing much, I just got chased by Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi" said Azure as he recalled the day that happened, it was a very painful experience.
The others who knew what that Nox Nyctores was just stood there speechless and looked at Azure wondering "How in goodness name is this man still alive".
"With that said, Terumi was also not evil but he was still an asshole. He was one of the people who suggested I became Imperator even though I said let Kagura do it" said Azure as he sighed.
"Well don't be expecting the Terumi of this world to be the same" said an angry Kokonoe.
"Don't worry I already met him and our first encounter told me everything I needed to know about him."
"I've been listening to your conversation but are you implying you're not of this world?" asked Tsubaki.
"Yeah I'm not but I gotta say, the you from this world and the one I come from are not much different, you still don't go easy on me" said Azure as he sighed.
"What do you mean?" asked Tsubaki.
"In my world after I was forcibly planted as the Imperator they placed you as my secretary so you could keep me from slacking" said Azure with a smile.
"Eeeeeeeh?!" was all Tsubaki could say.
"I couldn't even take a break if I didn't want Izayoi to chop my freaking head off" said Azure shivering at the memory of her always threatening him of what she would do if he slacked off.
"But Nu thought Azure was a good leader" Nu cut in. "All the people loved you and you were respected to be the true ruler even if each city had their own government".
"Own government?" asked Ragna in confusion.
"After the rebellion caused by me, the NOL control was broken and this led to each city creating their own governments. But still they desired to have the Library around so that's where I come in" said Azure.
"Oh I see" said Izanami.
"I must say your world differs from ours in many ways" said Rachel as she drank some tea.
"I must agree Madam" said Valkenhayn.
Suddenly claps sounded through the garden and a cynical voice could be heard as a portal opened. "Well, well, well what do we have here?" asked Kira with a cynical smile as he stood up high in the air. "They said ants worked well together but I never thought they would get along this well".
"Kira you bastard!" said Azure as anger began to fill him. "Thank you from bringing yourself to me, you saved me the trouble of going to look for you" said Azure with a smirk. "Azure calm down, if you are blinded by anger there is no way you can beat him" the voice said. "Don't worry I will be fine" replied Azure.
"S-such power" said Valkenhayn as he looked at Kira.
"Oi Valk I gotta say he's got a worse killing intent than the black beast" said Jubei.
"Hmph, he should prove to be a worthy foe" said Hakumen as he drew Ookami.
"Stay out of this, this bastards mine" said Azure as he summoned Kiramaru.
"Oh that's it Ragna that's the face I wanted to see now bring it on you dam worm. Hyehehehahahahahaha!" said Kira as he cynically laughed.
"I'm going to rip you to shreds, you dam Bastard!" said Azure as he charged at Kira
Meanwhile in Kagutsuchi…..
"Dammit, Sector seven finally releases me so I could get Ragna the Bloodedge but I can't find him" said Azrael as he punched a wall breaking it down. "According to witnesses he was here a few hours ago so why the hell can't I find him."
Azrael had been released by the sector seven higher ups for the sole purpose of him disposing of Ragna the Bloodedge. He did not like being treated as a dog but as long as he got to fight strong opponents he was fine with it.
"Tch, I hope I find him soon I won't let such a prey get away" said Azrael as he continued his search
Meanwhile on the other side of Kagutsuchi Jin Kisaragi also searched for Ragna. "Brother where are you? I won't let you get away so easily" said Jin with a cynical smile on.
"Hmph, according to sightings you were seen here meaning you couldn't have gotten far" Jin continues walking as a thought passes his mind "Wait for me brother I shall be the one to kill you".
-Phantom Striker
Said Azure and he kicked Kira to only be blocked by a giant blade. "Ultimate Nox Nyctores: Excaliburus" said Kira as he swung the blade and the pressure from the swing knocking Azure back.
"Dammit" said Azure as he landed on his feet.
"Is that all you got you dam worm if so you should just die" Kira then yells
-Extinction
A giant slash wave then goes towards Azure who blocks it but unknown to Azure Kiramaru began to crack as anger filled Azure.
"Oh a job well done, maybe you can entertain me after all. Maybe you have grown a little stronger after all, hm but it seems your missing a little more motivation" said Kira as a wicked smirk grew on his face.
"Oh I know how about I tell you something"
"Tell me what you twisted asshole" said Azure.
"Now, now calm down little doggy. I just wanted to tell you that the Sankishin units are in my hand. Even the Black Susano'o that was created by Terumi. Hahahahahahyehehahahah!" said Kira.
"You don't mean….you bastard don't tell me you killed them all?!" Azure's rage had hit it's limit.
"Yes! Yes I did, I enjoyed killing that shitty observer the most. As for the Susano'os they put up a pretty good fight working together they were quite formidable but sadly they could not stop me" a smirk grew on Kira's face for he knew what Azure was about to ask.
"What did you do with Noel…?" asked Azure his eyes grew fierce and a blue aura surrounded him.
"Oh her? Hm she was so cute I decided to have my way with her before killing her hyahhahahahaah"
"You, you fucking twisted asshole!" Azure charged at Kira and landed a hit to his gut he then appeared behind him and smacked him again. With each strike the crack on Kiramaru. When Azure tried to land the last strike Kira turned and yelled
-Abyssal Edge
He hit the hilt of his sword directly to Azure's gut then he smacked him with the blade flinging him from one side to the other.
"Gahh!" groaned Azure as he hit the ground.
"Azure!" said Nu as she raced towards him only to be stopped by Hikaru.
"I won't let you interfere"
"Get out of my way or I will move you" said Nu as she drew Sousei from its sheath.
"So be it" said Hikaru as she summoned Dragunux.
"What are you imbeciles doing standing like trees? Help them will you?" said Rachel staring at Kagura and Ragna.
"Sorry Rachel but that's a no can do" said Kagura with a nervous look on his face. "There's a barrier surrounding the field their fighting in, we can't enter it"
"Shit! Then we will just break through it" said Ragna as he drew out Blood-Scythe.
"Good idea Ragna" said Kagura as he drew out his black sword. He and Ragna began to continuously attack the barrier and try to break it but so far it was a failure.
"Are you okay?" the beast asked.
"I-I'm fine" said Azure as he tried to get up. The crack on Kiramaru kept growing but Azure hadn't noticed. "I won't forgive that bastard no matter what". Azure then gets up and charges at Kira once again.
-Dragon's Infernal Flame
Kira simply blocks the hit with sword and when Azure attacks again he blocks it and suddenly the unexpected happens. Kiramaru shatters to pieces and Azure's eyes widen at the sight. "Wa-wah.?!" Was all Azure could say before he was grabbed by the neck by Kira.
"AHAHAHAHAHA! Oh this shit is fucking priceless" said Kira with an amused look on his face. "You were doing so well until now, who would've thought that your little Nox couldn't handle my power?"
The others stared in shock. This was the first time they had ever seen a Nox shatter before their very eyes.
"L-let me go you asshole" said Azure as he tried to breathe.
Kira then raised his blade and said "It has been fun Ragna, oh I meant Azure because that seems to be your name now". A wicked smirk grows on Kira's face and he utters "Die!" He then stabs Azure in the gut as Azure's widen. He then throws Azure's lifeless body away and it falls in the field of roses.
"AZURE!" they all say in unision.
"Hyahahahahaah! Poor Azure he wanted revenge so much that he lost control of himself" said Kira then he looks at the group who stared at him with anger and fear. "So who's next?"
"You fucking asshole imma fucking kill you" said Ragna. Ragna then raises his right hand and says "Restriction 666 released, Dimensional Interference Field Deployed! Now Engaging The Idea Engine! BlazBlue, Activate!"
"Hahahahahaha! Yes that's it show me, show me the power if the Azure"
Ragna breaks through the barrier and charges at Kira when Hikaru tries to stop him only to be blocked my Nu. "It's my turn now I won't let you stop him" said Nu as she pushes Hikaru back.
-Gauntlet Hades
Yells Ragna as he plants a successful attack on Kira. Kira just gets up once again and he seems unharmed. "Dammit is this bastard even able of dying" thought Ragna as he backed away.
Unknown to the others a blue aura had began to surround Azure and a sword had formed next to him.
Kira then decides to come from the sky and stand in the field of roses. "Oh, I like your spark come on show me what you got".
As Ragna was going to land the next blow a beam of blue light shoot to the sky from where Azure's body laid. From the light a figure that was covered in a blue outline of what seemed to be armor emerges. The armor resembles a Susano'o but the only difference it seems like it has a jacket on top of the armor made of the same material and it was an outline made by aura.
"I-is that a Susano'o" asked Kokonoe in surprise.
"Oh my, it seems to be so" answered Rachel looking at the figure.
"That's impossible" says Hakumen. "He said he had aquired all the Susano'os from his world".
"Oh this is fucking incredible. Who would've thought another Susano'o was created in that world, ahahahahaahah". Kira then looks towards the sky and asks "Can this day get any better?"
Noel was shacking in fear. Ragna notices this and asks "Noel what's wrong?"
"D-don't you feel it? There is so much hatred and malice filling whoever is inside that".
As soon as she said this they all began to feel it. It was so much malice that it made their stomach churn and they felt like they would throw up. "Is that Azure?" asks Izanami at last.
"I'm afraid it is" answers Kagura.
The figure then raises his blade and says "I am the dark void. I am the blue steel. I am the destroyer. With sword at hand I shall plunge this world to the depths of chaos and destruction. I am the Azure Susano'o. The end of all has come!"
"That doesn't sound good" said Kagura as he looks at the figure.
"Oh this is fucking awesome" said Kira when suddenly the figure appears behind him and yells
-Dragon's Infernal Flame
He slashes his Blade at kira and a pillar of fire rises to the sky. He then appears iin front of kira who barely dodged the first attack and yells
-Azure's Rage
He slashes at Kira many times as waves of slashes come his way. Only this time he doesn't managed to avoid it and gets flung to the other side. He then coughs up blood and Hikaru runs towards him.
"Master are you ok?" asked a worried Hikaru.
"I-I'm fine hahahaha…." Said Kira as one of his eyes were shut. "I didn't think there was another Susano'o, guess this is what that bastard Terumi meant when he said I couldn't kill him so easily."
Hikaru then grabs Kira and teleports away as they leave Kira says "I let my guard down this time but next time I will not hold back".
As they disappeared a voice spoke in Nu's head. "Nu I'm not the one doing this. Seems that this is Kiramaru's true form" the voice spoke. "Azure is unconscious it's only acting on what its masters will is".
The armor then begins to move towards them with killing intent. Hakumen steps forward. "I will deal with him" Hakumen then gets in a fighting position but only to be stopped by Ragna.
"I got this masked bastard" said Ragna as he got into a fighting position.
"Hmph, suit yourself" said Hakumen as he turned away and walked towards the others.
"Oi Azure, Imma wake you the hell up" .Ragna then charges at Azure and yell's
-Carnage Scissors
But Azure clad in the Susano'os armor easily dodges it only to be caught by surprise. "Gotcha" said Ragna as he says
-Hell's Fang
This flings Azure towards a wall and then Ragna kicks him up and yells
-Inferno Devider
"Hmph, Azure you can never defeat me if you let that unit do the fighting. I know you've been through hell but I've also been through the same thing" said Ragna as he walked towards the Susano'o.
"Don't give up hope, fight and beat those bastards who took everything from you. If you're actually me this is what you would do."
"I….won't…give…up" the armor spoke. Hope filled everyone's eyes Azure was still there. Suddenly Azure falls to his knees and the unit outlines surrounding him disappears and he falls on the floor unconscious.
"Azure!" they all say as they move towards him.
"This is bad he is badly wounded, it's a miracle he's even alive" said Kokonoe.
"We need to get him treated and fast" said Valkenhayn.
"Tager, bring her here and hurry your ass up it's an emergency"
"Roger that Kokonoe"
Rachel then opens a portal and Celica and Tager arrive. Celica sees the Ragna the Azure badly wounded on the floor and runs towards him. Ragna the Bloodedge suddenly becomes unable to use his right arm or open his right eye.
"The hell?!" said Ragna.
"Huh?! There's two Ragna's?" asked Celica in surprise.
"It's a long story" said Kagura. "We will tell you later but could you help him?"
"I will try. Bring him to a room I will give him proper treatment then using my healing magic" said Celica. Although he was in surprise Valkenhayn simply said "Follow me I will show you to a room". Tager then grabs Azure and follows him and Celica follows behind him.
"Azure…" Izanami mumbles under her breath and for a split second her hair turns blonde and then violet again.
Rachel who observes this phenomenon simply kept quiet and let it pass. This wasn't the exact time to be antagonizing anyone.
"What of his blade?" asks Hakumen who sees a blade that was stuck on the ground.
"Would you be so kind to remove it and bring it to him?" asked Rachel.
Hakumen moved to retrieve the sword only to find out he's unable to pull it from the location. "Impossible, I'm unable to retrieve it".
"Oh my, this is quite the surprise mister Hero" said Rachel while she was smiling.
Azure opened his eyes to only see the beaming sun coming through the window. Next to him a blonde girl had awoken and was smiling at him.
"Good morning my love" said Saya and she then moved closer and kissed him.
Azure then kisses her back and after what seems several minutes they break away and he says "Good morning Saya". "Guess we should get up before Tsubaki comes in to kill me" joked Azure as he moved out of bed. Saya then smiles and does the same thing. After he took a shower Azure then puts his Imperator clothes on and heads to breakfast.
"See you're already to go" said Saya as she chuckled.
"I don't want to piss Tsubaki off, I got a lot to live for after all" said Azure with a sigh.
Saya's hair then turns violet and she begins to speak at a more moderate tone. "But you promise to come home early today?" Izanami asked.
"Yeah I will. I had Kagura fill in for me today so I will be able to leave" said Azure with a smile.
After eating he then kisses Saya and tells her bye but as soon as he opens the door waves and waves of memories and visions fill his head. He then sighs and stares towards the sky. "Hey black beast this is one of my memories right?"
After a moment of silence a voice answers. "Yes it is. You lost consciousness after being badly wounded by Kira, actually almost killed would be a better way of putting it" said the beast as it let of a sigh.
Suddenly the scene began to fade and his surroundings turned black. "This is your consciousness and someone within here wishes to talk to you". Suddenly Terumi appears before him with a smile on his face.
"Yo Rags long time no see"
"Terumi…."
"Yes and no this is just the memories of my soul talking" said Terumi. "Seems like you finally awoken that sleeping Susano'o that was crafted using the Azures power."
"Susano'o?" asked Azure. The memories of what had taken place began to pour into his head. "Oh I see…."
"Relius and I tried to create a weapon that could defeat Kira. Using the souls of the soldiers who lost their lives and the power of the Azure we managed to create a third Susano'o."
"Souls of soldiers?" said Azure as worried began to fill him.
"Don't worry they consented to this, even they had lost hope so they at least wanted to be useful in the end" said Terumi as he pushed his hat down. "Apparently when I tried to wield it, it rejected me. In the end after countless tries it turned into gauntlets which then sealed themselves away". "I had a prediction that if you were to use it, it might respond seemed as like I was right".
"What do you mean?"
"You have a deep connection with the azure so it was a possibility it would respond to you. Also its true form is that of a blade which at is master's command will turn into the Susano'o unit. Its name is the Azure Susano'o but you might want to change that since your name is Azure" said Terumi as he let out a sigh.
"Ok I understand what you're trying to say"
"Seems my time is up, use this power to protect the world you're in and stop that asshole, were counting on you" said Terumi as many souls appeared behind him then suddenly Azure opens his eyes.
Azure then says "Come to me Kootenai that's your name from now on!"
Suddenly the blade that no one could pull up rises from the ground and begins to rotate towards the room Azure was in. A few minutes later an explosion could be heard and everyone rushes to the room only to see a Susano'o which resembled that of Hakumen's except it was blue in the places were Hakumen's were black. It seemed like it was wearing a white jacket made of the same material as the armor itself.
"I am the dark void. I am the blue steel. I am the destroyer. With sword at hand I shall slay all evil which stand in my path. I am Kootenai. The end has come!"
AN: sorry that I took so long to update but as an apology I made this chapter longer. Well there is the end of chapter 4 I hope you enjoyed. About the 2 Susano'os in Azure's world Terumi managed to make another susano'o for himself which is the Dark Susano'o which was what Terumi's original Susano'o was called. :P Sorry but I won't give info on Kira cause he's full of surprises till next time. Oh and I hope you like Susano'o Vs Susano'o cause your about to see that soon.
