Chapter 6: Unknown Entity

Azure opens his eyes and surveyed his surroundings. He was on what seemed to be a hill and high above him a full moon soared. He got up to from the grass and stared towards of sky full of confusion. He then smacked his face and finally realized that this was not a dream, well if it was at least it was not a normal one.

"Ow! That hurts dammit" said Azure as he rubbed where he had smacked himself. "Where am I and where is this place?" asked Azure and he looked around. The last thing he remembered was that he was in the room where Izanami laid asleep.

"This seems to be you consciousness" said the beast to answer his question.

"It kinda seems a bit different from last time I was here" said Azure as he kept looking around. "Since I'm here, I'm guessing that you called me here for a reason" said Azure as he sighed.

"It was not me or any souls which lay within your Nox Nyctores" explained the beast. "Something more powerful called you here but I can't figure out who or what it is."

"Well that was a great help, it told me absolutely nothing" said Azure as he sighed. He then began walking down the hill to figure out where he was but before he could a voice stopped him in his track.

"Ah I see you're awake" said a man who suddenly appeared behind Azure. He seemed to wear a Kimono and he had a smile on his face.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Azure as he summoned Kootenai and got into a fighting position.

"Please, I do not wish to fight. I merely wish to talk to you" said the man as he raised his arms showing that he meant no harm.

"Alright I'm listening" said Azure who proceeded to lowering his blade. "So mind telling me who the hell are you and why have you brought me to this place?" asked Azure as he looked at the man. He couldn't help but feel that there was something strange about him.

"I'm sorry but that I cannot tell you, but I will tell you that I am something that is not human" said the man as he closed his eyes.

"Well thanks for the great introduction" said Azure as he sighed. "My name is Azure but by the looks of things I don't think I even need to tell you that".

"Yes I know who you are Azure, that is why I called you here" said the man as he stared towards the sky. "I need to talk to you about the man known as Kira" said the man as he sighed.

"You know something about that bastard Kira" said Azure as he clenched his fist. Just the name Kira angered him although he did not let it show.

"Yes, but I will warn you not to expect much since I cannot reveal much to you" said the man as he walked towards Azure. "Kira is someone who resides beyond the realm of humans, his powers succeeds those which belongs to you."

"Are you telling me I can't fucking beat him?" asked an angered Azure.

"Oi, partner calm down let him explain what he means, I get the feeling we should listen to this man. After all any information we gain on kira may prove to be vital" said the beast as his voice echoed in Azure's head.

"The beast is indeed correct. I only wish to tell you something that may prove vital to you".

"The hell how did you even hear his voice? He was speaking in my head" asked a confused Azure. There was more to this man than meets the eyes. The feeling he got from him matched that of Kira and Izanami. Questions filled his head but he felt like even if he asked him he wouldn't get any answers.

"I know many things, and I can hear many things as well" said the man with a smile on his face. "I merely want to help you, after all you proceeded to making someone who I hold dear happy" said the man as he closed his eyes.

"And who might this person be?"

"Well that is a secret for now. Now I will proceed into telling you the information I desired to give to you" said the man as he opened his eyes and his look finally became serious.

"Alright, I'm listening" said Azure as he too looked serious.

"Kira plans to use the cauldrons do something that exceeds comprehension, but you knew this much already" said the man as he stared towards the moon. "But there are specific cauldrons he plans to use for his plans.

"Alright where are they" asked Azure. He knew that many cauldrons existed so he rather not go to each and every city and destroy them.

"The cauldrons you must destroy are the ones in Shinatsu, Naobi, Wadatsumi, and lastly Kagutsuchi" said the man as he looked towards Azure.

"Why am I not surprised that Kagutsuchi is on that list" said Azure as he sighed but the man just proceeded to laughing at his comments.

"That's all I can tell you for now, but knowing your capabilities I bet you will figure everything else out soon" said the man as his usual smile returned. "But beware of Kira he will not be easy to kill; he is a god one who has evil goals in mind."

"Oi, oi oi oi that ain't funny" said Azure as a nervous look befalls upon his face. The fact that kira was a god was going to prove to be a real problem. "If he's a god it's going to take a hell lot more than numbers to defeat him".

"Yes that is correct that is why I will ask you this" said the man as he once again looked serious. "Ragna The Azure how would you like to become a god?" said the man as looked cheerful again.

"HUH!?" said a surprised Azure. He was ok with suddenly being asked to merge with the black beast because he knew what the black beast was. But being asked to become a god was something which was beyond his comprehension. Azure then gets his thoughts together once again after the shock.

"If it will make me able to defeat Kira that is fine with me" said Azure as a smirk grew on his face.

"Are you sure about this? Being a god is totally on a different level then being the black beast" said the beast as he almost seemed to be amused.

"Yeah, I'm fine with it. I don't want the same thing that happened to my world to this world or any other worlds. I will be the one to stop Kira" said Azure as he closed his eyes.

"Very well I will make you a god." The man raises his arm and says "I give to you my powers over creation and life. The way you choose to use it rests with you".

A white light surrounds Azure and he closes his eyes as he accepted the power. It was warm light and his power felt like it went beyond a level that could even be measured. "Is this the powers of a god?" asked Azure as he clenched his fist. He felt like he could do anything and that nothing could stop him.

"Indeed it is. It is now yours, but I will not tell you which god I was. But one thing though" said the man as he looked at Azure. "I am also part of you now, but I will not show myself again until the time is right" said the man as he closed his eyes.

Azure then proceed to laugh. "Well I already have the black beast Inside me I don't see the problem of having a god inside me as well".

"Oh before you go I present this to you" the man raises his arm and a blade appears floating in the air. "This was the blade that first belonged to the Susano'o, its name is Totsuka-no-Tsurugi."

"Totsuka-no-Tsurugi?" asked Azure. He wasn't so much into swords or history, but that name sounded familiar to him. Maybe he had heard it from one of the history book Tsubaki read while watching over him. Well whatever it was it was powerful.

"Yes, it's the blade I bestowed upon Susano'o. But because of some reasons I had to take it back and banish him" said the man as he sighed. "Well this blade is now yours take it".

kootenai began to glow and writings began to appear all over it. Powers surged through the blade and Azure couldn't believe his eyes.

"It's time for you to return to your world. Once you leave this place you will not remember anything that took place and your new powers will lay sealed within you until the time is right" said the man as he closed his eyes.

Azure sighed; people really liked making things harder for him. "Alright I get it, so are you going to tell me your name?"

"Hahahahaha, nice try but as I said before I cannot tell you".

"Dammit so close".

"Well it's time". Suddenly the setting began to turn dark and the man began to vanish. "Ragna The Azure, I leave the future of the world up to you this is goodbye."

"Wait!" said Azure as he raced towards the man. Darkness filled the whole place and before he knew it Azure began to lose consciousness.


The Next morning...

The moon still soared above the castle. This space had an eternal moon which shone eternally, making it hard to figure out whether it was morning or even tell the time. Azure didn't want to get up he felt lazy and his body kept telling him that he had a weird dream. Slowly Azure opens his eyes and surveys his surroundings.

He didn't recollect anything which happened within the dream. The only memories he had were those of the locations he was meant to attack. "Guess I fell asleep, but why am In a bed" thought Azure. He then sat up on the bed and when he looked to his left there was a violet haired girl sleeping next to him.

"Oh this can't end well" thought Azure as he began to sweat bullets. Suddenly and knock could be heard from the door and Azure quickly got up so whoever this person was could not misunderstand the situation.

"I'm coming in" said Celica and a group made up of Hakumen, Ragna, Noel and Rachel followed behind her.

"Oh I see you're awake" said Celica as she smiled at Azure.

"By any chance were you guys the one who laid me next to her" asked a nervous Azure. If it wasn't them it probably meant he slept walked and laid next to her and him asking this just admitted the guilt.

"Indeed it was" said Rachel as she smiled.

"Why did you guys do that?" asked a confused Azure.

"While you were asleep you began to glow like a dam Christmas tree and as you did her pain began to ease" said Ragna as let out a sigh.

"It also seemed to speed up the forging process. So we moved you and laid you next to her as you slept. You might want to look at the thing that's against the wall" said Rachel.

Azure did as he was instructed and he saw a giant blade that was red and white. "Is that the fully completed Murakumo?" asked Azure in surprise.

"Indeed it is, but we know not who will wield it. But if my prediction is correct it's going to be her" said Rachel as she pointed at a sleeping Izanami.

"You, something seems different about you" said Hakumen as he moved towards Azure.

"What do you mean?" asked Azure. Although he did feel weird he didn't think anything about him quite changed.

"The presence you're giving off is mixed with something else" said Hakumen.

"That's probably the black beast" said Azure as he sighed.

"No it's something else but never mind. Sooner or later I will discover what it is" said Hakumen.

"Well if that makes you happy" said Azure. Suddenly, the girl who was sleeping on the bed began to awaken. Her eyes slowly opened and she looked towards where the group of people stood talking.

"I see you're awake" said Rachel as she looked at her.

"What happened? I don't quite remember" said Izanami as she sat up on the bed. She then looked at Azure and her heart skipped a beat.

"You fell unconscious due to that thing" said Ragna as he pointed at the Murakumo.

"Is that a Lux Sanctus: Murakumo?" asked Izanami.

"Yep, apparently you and Azure made that" said Celica as she cheerfully smiled.

"Made it?"

"It's a very long story" said Rachel as she sighed. "How about you try and activate it?" said Rachel with a smirk.

"I guess I can try although I don't quite understand". Rachel told them to follow her to the garden and Izanami got up from the bed and followed the group which stayed right behind Rachel. This castle being as big as it is getting lost would be an easy task. The blade just floated behind them levitating in the air. It seemed to go wherever Izanami went. When they reached the garden, the others stood there waiting.

"Glad to see your ok Imperator" said Tsubaki with a smile.

"I must say yer got us worried there" said Jubei as he closed his eyes.

"So were trying this puppy out" said Kokonoe as she looked excitedly at the blade.

"Indeed we are" said Rachel.

"I do not know how to activate it" said Izanami.

"Well you can always just command it to activate" said Noel.

Izanami then raises her hand and says "Murakumo Activate!". The sword begins to glow and the blade smashes behind Izanami and replaces the clothes she was wearing with a Murakumo armor. It resembled that of Kusanagi except it was red and its visor seemed like that of Nu except it you could see her eyes much like Mu's.

"Woah! That's a real cutie" said Kagura as he smirked. He then got hit by Hibiki in account for his response.

"Well I must say, never thought I see a Murakumo armor again" said Azure as he smiled.

"How about we try it in combat" said the beast.

"So you finally decided to say something. I thought something happened to you" said Azure.

"Something did happen but worry not" the voice said.

"Guess we can have a sparring match" said Kokonoe.

"So who will be my opponent" asked Izanami. She had seen Murakumo units who were copies of her vessel but she herself never wore the armor. It felt strange and she felt a strong power surging through the armor.

"I will take you on" said Azure as he stepped forward. "Susano'o activate". He raised his blade and then his body was once again in the Susano'o. His blade though on the other hand seemed a bit different, and his armor felt different too but he paid it no mind.

"Get ready" said Azure as he got into a fighting position.

"I'm coming your way" said Izanami as she charged at him and her blades ready to attack.

-Fallen Sky

Yells Izanami, multiple blades rain from the sky and Azure yells

-Azure's Rage

He slashes all the blades that were coming his way and once again he gets into a fighting position. Ever since he began fighting he felt weird and he felt like his power was different from before. He then looks at Izanami and a smirk grows on his face.

"It's my turn" said Azure as he charged at her. He suddenly appeared behind her but Izanami smiles and says

-Piercing Light

Her blades suddenly merge as one and go to Azure much like an arrow moving at the speed of light. Azure is pushed back and he stops himself by sticking his blade onto the ground.

"Heh, must say even though I took your powers away you prove to be strong as hell" said Azure.

"Don't underestimate me, I am a goddess after all" said Izanami as she smiled. She didn't know why but she could easily smile now.

"A-amazing such a tough battle" said Noel as she looked at them.

"She might be even stronger than me and you" said Nu as she looked at Noel.

-Soul Devourer

Says Azure as he slashes the air. His slice wave turns into a black dragon made of Seithr and head straight towards Izanami. She flies up in the air and stands high above ground. She then sends her blades raining down on Azure who just summons a barrier blocking them all.

"Hahaha, this is actually fun" said Azure.

"I must agree" said Izanami who stood high up in the air. "But now it's time we decided the victor". Izanami once comes down again and then she yells

-Heavens And Earth

Blades began to come from the ground and the sky at the same time. They resembled that of Nu's calamity blade but instead of one many appear. Azure notices he couldn't dodge this so he yells

-Dragons Infernal Flame

This burns all blades to ashes and the two of them engage in close range combat. Azure manages to push Izanami back but no matter what this battle was a tie. The others watched in amazement. They've seen lot of battles but this one was intense and there seemed to be no victors

"Time to wrap this up" said Azure as he raises his sword.

"I agree" said Izanami as she raises her hand.

-Endless Requiem of Darkness

-Blades Of the Apocalypse

The portal opens and the red eyes of the heads glow. Many blades which resembles Mu's astral appeared all over and filled the entire sky. Izanami then points at Azure and all the blade moves towards him. Azure slices with his sword and all the heads attack each blade stopping them on their path.

"And that's a wrap" said Kagura as he raised his arm.

Izanami and Azure both seized combat and deactivated their armor. Azure's Susano'o once again vanishes and Izanami's armor does the same this time the sword was no where in sigh.

"Wow, that was fucking amazing" said Ragna. He's never seen two people fight that intensely when they both had no intention of killing the other.

"I must agree a very good show" said Valkenhayn.

"Hahaha, partner she equally stood up to you" said the black beast.

"Yeah, she's very strong. I expected nothing less from the goddess of death" said Azure as he smiled.

"A job well done Imperator" said Tsubaki amazed.

"Well I must say I'm beyond impressed!" said Kokonoe. The power she had witnessed was so strong it made her wonder how badly Azure could kick Terumi's ass if he actually wanted to kill him.

"So what will you name this Murakumo" asked Ragna.

"How about Blade of Annihilation" said an excited Makoto

"How about we name it Izanagi no Tsurugi or the Sword Of Izanagi" said Rachel.

"Well I don't see why not" said Azure even though he didn't know who Izanagi was.

"Well it's a cool name" said Noel.

"Well I don't quite see a problem" Izanami. After all it was the name of her husband well or at least he was her husband. They all agreed on the name and Azure looked like he was about to say something.

"Hey guys I need to talk to you guys about something" said Azure at last.

"What is it?" asked Jubei.

"I know exactly which NOL branches we must strike to stop Kira" said Azure with a smile.

"Which cities are they in?" asked Ragna.

"Their in Shinatsu, Naobi, Wadatsumi, and Kagutsuchi" said Azure.

"How exactly did you learn this information" asked Hakumen.

"I have absolutely no idea, but this is accurate data"

"So you don't know how you got this info?" asked Makoto.

"I got it from Terumi again I think, he probably summoned me in my dreams" said Azure as he sighed.

"Summoned in dreams?" asked Noel.

"It's a very long story" said Azure. "Tsubaki will you be joining us?" asked Azure.

"If the Imperator is fighting so will I" answered Tsubaki.

"Then let me see Izayoi".

"Uhm…Sure" said Tsubaki as she handed Izayoi to Azure. Suddenly the Nox began to glow and Azure gave the Nox to Tsubaki once more.

"What exactly did you do" asked Tsubaki.

"All I did was remove the side effect from the Nox Nyctores" said Azure with a smile. "It was a neat trick Kokonoe thought me. She invented something to counter the effects."

"Woah, the me from your world did that?" asked Kokonoe.

"Yep she did. When you put her and Konoe together there was nothing they couldn't do" said Azure as he sighed.

"Well that is rather impressive, but I would advice you all to rest the battle soon approaches us" said Rachel as she closed her eyes.

"Well it's still early so we might as well do something to burn time" said Ragna.

"I agree" said Jubei. After this was said everyone started going their own way and doing their own things. Azure, Nu, Izanami and Tsubaki headed for the library. Hakumen, Jubei, Valkenhayn and Rachel stayed at the garden. Ragna, Noel and Makoto who had nothing else to do just decided to follow after Azure's group. Kagura being Kagura followed them I mean after all that's where all the girls were.

The battle was about to begin and tension was in the air. This was going to be one of many battles but no one was sure of what they would encounter they had to be ready for anything and anyone. They all headed their way with this thought in mind.
