AN: Welcome to another chapter of Dimensional Shift. Last time we left off Azure had unleashed his grimoire's power for the first time. With their previous encounter they are now behind their schedule. The clock is still counting down and they now have to each go a different way if they want to live. Azure will meet someone who was very important to him and someone who spent most of his time with in this chapter. Won't tell you who it is so if you want to know stick around ^^. Well Without further ado let's begin!

Text=Character Thoughts
Chapter 10: Dark Abyss part two
"Seems the tremors have stopped" said the cat beastkin as he stopped and stared at the sky. "I must say never expected to feel that feeling again, that Ragna might just as well be the black beast".
"I agree, this is why we cannot fully trust him" said Hakumen. "Let's move towards where they are, since we've located them we might as well go to them".
"Alright, I hope no one is hurt. That feeling I felt sent shivers all over me. It did actually remind me of my encounter with the black beast" said Celica as she then let out a sigh of relief. She was startled when that pillar of darkness suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The feeling she had felt in that moment was also one that terrified her and did not bring back pleasant memories.
"So what're we waiting for, let's catch up to them", Jubei then began to change the route to one that would lead them to where the others were. Behind him Hakumen and Celica followed one after the other. One thought passed through Jubei's mind "Hope you're all alright, don't die on me Azure". Unknown to them to the other two, they were being watched by something or someone. The cloaked figure moved in the darkness hiding it's presence. Who exactly was following them and for what reason was it doing it? They all continued to walk and the figure still stayed behind them until Jubei suddenly came to a stop and sighed.
"I know you're there Konoe, show yourself" Phantom then appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of them. "You've been following us for a while now, is this one of Terumi's orders?" It stood there for a while without saying or doing anything, then it slowly shook its head.
"Then why are you following us?" asked Hakumen as he was ready to draw Ookami from its sheath. But once more Phantom said nothing but Jubei then came closer to it.
"Now, now calm down Hakumen. By the looks of things she has no intention of attacking us, isn't that right Konoe?" Phantom nodded then Jubei let out a deep sigh.
"Why don't we let her come with us?" asked Celica was trying hard not to cry. After all, Phantom was her sister.
"I see why not, I might be overestimating him but maybe Azure can do something about her current state". The other two nodded and began walking and behind the Phantom followed. Another strange yet familiar alliance had been formed but it's members went back as far as the dark wars. Maybe they can relive the moments they had fighting alongside each other. They kept walking and their destination was Azure.
"What the heck was that?!" asked Makoto who had fallen from the City shaking. She then helped Tsubaki who had fallen down next to her.
"Good thing we're far away from that place, I don't want to come face to face with the monsters that have that much power" said Kagura as a worried look befall his face. The immense power he felt belonged to two people and they had clashed without holding back. "I hope that none of the others come into contact with those monster". Unknown to him one of those powers he had felt did belong to one of his friends.
"We should hurry to the port, maybe we will meet the others here", Tsubaki said as she regained her composure.
"I agree, let's hurry before the enemy once more catches up to us. By the way how do you guys know which way is the port?" asked Bullet.
"Oh, as you said earlier we were once NOL officials but thanks to certain events that has changed" said Tsubaki as she sighed.
"I see, that means you went to the Military Academy, no wonder you know this town so well"
"Uhm guys...hate to interrupt but we might want to get a move on" Makoto said as she pointed to a battalion of soldiers who were rushing towards them. "Geez, can't we even take a break for five minutes without worrying about them showing out of nowhere?"
"Well this seems is how it's gotta be. Come on lets go", Kagura began running and the girl followed behind him. Their destination was the port in hopes that they would find their friends and an airship to leave this town. While running they collide with a different group which were coming from the other direction.
"Hey watch where you're going!" said the peach-blond girl as she got up from where she had fallen.
"Sorry, sorry" said Kagura with an awkward smile on his face. Suddenly someone tries to strike him and he dodges out the way. "Hey what's the big idea!?"
"Don't think you can fool me villain! You like all the others NOL officials must also be under mind control!" said Bang as he was ready to strike again.
"Mister Bang, nice to see you again although I didn't expect it to be under these circumstances", Makoto said as she walked towards him. "Kagura is not an enemy, although he is the enemy of all women" she said as she narrowed her eyes.
"HEY WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN!?" screamed Kagura.
"Nothing absolutely nothing" said the beastkin with a smile on her face.
"Miss Litchi, glad to see your safe" said Tsubaki as she walked towards Litchi.
"I see you also got dragged into this. What exactly is going on? NOL soldiers have been attacking us none stop and we've been encountering creatures we've never seen before", Litchi said with a worried look.
"I see you had your first encounter with the creatures who came from a different timeline" said Tsubaki as she closed her eyes. "Miss Litchi you do know about the existence of other timelines am I correct", Tsubaki asked. But when she realized that the soldier we're still after them she said "Let's find somewhere safe where we can talk", the group nodded and they all began running.
"W-what the hell was that!?" asked Ragna in confusion.
"Such power, that was as if the black beast himself came back" said Relius as he pushed his mask up.
"Seems like they stopped clashing, wonder which one of them kicked the bucket" said Terumi with a sinister smile.
"Hmph, I don't know who the fake who looked like my brother was but I doubt he's still alive", Jin said as he closed his eyes. "Afterall his opponent was the 'Mad Dog' of sector seven, there is no way he survived that fight".
"Azure would never lose!" retorted Kanade. She no longer could call herself Nu because another one already existed in the world.
"Brother what's going on and where are we?", Saya asked after waking up from her many years of sleep.
"Saya? Are you really Saya?" asked Ragna who still couldn't process what just happened.
"Has it been so long that you've forgotten my face?" she answered as she smiled. "How long has it been? Last I saw you two you were both smaller and you both got along well", she looked at Ragna then at Jin who just looked away.
"Tch, that means the Imperator is out cold then" said Terumi who was just smirking.
"Y-you're the one who killed the sister aren't you?!" said Saya with a scowl on her face. She never expected to see him again, although unknown to her she had been spending a lot of time with him.
"Saya it's ok, he's not our enemy under these circumstances"
"What do you mean brother!? Have you forgotten all he has done? I'm going to kill him right this moment!" said Jin as he unsheathed Yukianesa. But before he could land a blow he is stopped by Blood-scythe. "Brother what are do you think you're doing!?" he asked with a scowl.
"H-hey, I'm just doing what that asshole me from the other timeline told me to do, and if anyone is going to kill him it's me", Ragna then pushed him back and carried Blood-Scythe with one hand ready to intercept any more attacks.
"Major Kisaragi please stop" said Noel in a gentle voice.
"You stay out the way" said Jin with a scowl. Noel then looked down and anger filled Ragna.
"Don't yell at her dammit, or I have to teach you a lesson!" Ragna said as he was ready to strike.
"BOTH OF YOU KNOCK IT OFF!" yelled Saya. Ragna swore under his breath and Jin looked the other way, and Saya sighed. Noel then caught her eyes and she moved towards her.
"Y-you kinda look like me..." said Saya.
"Well...uhm...that's because..."
"That's because she is a clone of you", Relius said with a smile on his face. "She is the twelfth primefield Mu 12, also known as Kusanagi". Saya then held out her hand and Noel grabbed it then both of them gave a innocent smile that made Terumi want to ruin their fun only he felt if he interrupted at this moment he would be a goner.
"We're also clones of you!" said Nu. "I am the thirteen primefield Nu 13, nice to meet you", Nu said as she held Saya's left hand. Kanade also joined them and they all looked at each other as if they were quadruplets.
"Hate to interupt but aren't we forgetting something?" asked Terumi who was looking at them.
"Oh shit, AZURE!"
"Hey, Brother who is Azure?" asked Saya after hearing this name countless times.
"Don't you remember?"
"Remember what?" she asked innocently.
"Azure is the parallel version of your brother" said Kanade. "He was with us a little time back and you were really close to him".
"Exactly how close?", Saya asked as she felt her heart race. It was like she knew who they were talking about but she couldn't remember.
"Let's just say...really really close" said Kanade as she blushed.
"Eeeeeeeeh?!" said a flustered Saya.
"He's taking a while, is he really ok?" asked Nu.
"Huh?", Terumi squinted and looked ahead. "Well look who decided to show up and he brought some company with him". Azure was walking while carrying Azrael over his shoulder and he was walking at a slow pace.
"Dammit does this guy eat bricks for breakfast? He's heavier than a dam battleship" said Azure as he carried Azrael. "Geez, if I knew he was this heavy I would've left him behind. Oh there are the others", he then lifted one hand and waved at the others.
"Azure!" said Kanade as she raced towards him. She then jumped on him and knocked him back making him drop Azrael.
"Hey Nu, glad to see you're ok"
"Azure you idiot, my name is Kanade now" she said as she pouted.
"Ok, ok I got it. Mind getting off me now?", Azure asked as he smiled at her.
"Sure!" she said cheerfully.
"Nice of you to show up", Terumi said with a smile on his face.
"Shut up you damn asshole"
"Impossible! You actually managed to beat Azrael?" Relius said in Surprise.
"Yeah he's harder to beat than I thought but considering how he was in my world it's no surprise. So I had to improvise" said Azure with a smirk. "As for kind of improvisation you don't want to know".
"So you're Azure? Nice to meet you my name is Saya" she said as her heart raced. He did resemble her brother when he was younger except for the blue eyes. But she couldn't figure out why her heart was racing so fast, she tried to ignore it but so far it didn't seem to be working.
"Nice to meet you too, my name is Ragna the Azure but Azure is just fine" said Azure as he smiled. "She's the real Saya alright no doubt about it. Seems Izanami is asleep, what exactly happened when I was gone?". Azure then looked at Jin who was staring at him.
"Who exactly are you?" Jin asked as he got closer to Azure.
"Well can't you tell just by looking? I am Ragna from a different timeline you can call me Azure. Jin how about you join up with us? We are all trying to leave the city anyways, working together may prove beneficial."
"To you maybe, but not to me."
"What if I told you that Tsubaki is also in this city and she's among all the chaos and death? What would you say now?" said Azure as a smirk formed on his face.
"You bastard! You lay a hand on her and I will kill you!", Jin suddenly drew Yukianesa and pointed it at Azure.
A serious look formed on Azure's face and he looked seriously at Jin. "Tsubaki was on a mission with us, and since all the people who were on the mission are here there is no doubt about the fact she is here too".
"Dammit I have to find her before it's too late" Jin was ready to run when Ragna put a hand on his shoulder.
"Calm down Jin. All the groups were warped here together meaning that she's still with her group, right Azure?" Azure nodded and Ragna continued talking. "That means Kagura is with her and he will protect her at all cost no matter what."
"You mean Kagura Mutsuki?" asked Jin as he began to calm down. Knowing that Kagura was with Tsubaki eased his heart a little. "Alright then I will travel with you guys in hope that I will meet Tsubaki, but I have a question."
"Go ahead"
"Why was she on a mission with you guys?"
"That was because she wanted to help the Imperator and stop Kira" said Azure as he let out a sigh.
"Imperator?" asked Saya.
"That would be you" said Terumi as he then proceeded to yawn.
"Huh?"
"Man you really are an idiot like your clones" said Terumi as he sighed. "No wonder they all turned out to be failures, after all the real one is a failure herself".
"I dare you to repeat that again", a dark aura surrounded Azure and he glared at Terumi. Terumi then swore under his breath because considering his current state he knew he couldn't take this monstrosity out.
"So what now Azure?" asked Ragna.
"You guys all head to the port, I will head to the NOL post alone. One person should be enough".
"Azure it's dangerous!" said Kanade with a worried look.
"Yeah I know, but it's more dangerous if we all go together", he then looked Ragna, "And if you all come with me who is going to stop Hakumen and Jubei from killing Terumi and Relius the moment they meet them?"
Faced with this question none of them had anything to say to stop Azure's decision. Ragna then spoke up "Alright then, the choices you've made so far haven't been wrong so we will leave this to you. Just don't go and die on us though".
"As I told you before I am not that easy to kill" said Azure with a smile.
"I won't let you go alone!" screamed Saya, this surprised everyone because out of all of them they expected her least to try and stop him. "I don't know what is happening but I get the feeling that you might...lose your life if you go alone so please, let me come with you..." she said as she looked down.
"Don't worry I won't die. That I promise you" said Azure as he patted her head. He then took his jacket off and placed it around her. "I will return and get this jacket, even if I have to destroy half of the city to come back to you guys".
"Believe in him" said Kanade as she smiled.
"He will literally destroy the city too" said Ragna as he narrowed his eyes.
"If you say so..."
"Well if you're that worried than I will come along with him" said the blue haired man as he finally got up.
"Oh you stopped faking being knocked out" said Azure as he looked at Azrael.
"So you knew afterall?"
"Damn straight I did, and good thing you stopped faking it too because I'm definitely not carrying you anymore". Azure then felt himself getting dizzy and he kneeled down for a moment.
"Azure are you ok?" asked Ragna
"N-never been better" said Azure who then stood up.
"I'll come with you" said Azrael. "I think i might have more fun if I tag along with you. Considering how strong you are I won't let anyone else kill you before I do. I also feel like I will meet many opponents worth my time."
"Well suit yourself", Azure said as he sighed. A worried look then formed on his face."What exactly just happened?"
"Your mind is becoming unstable, I guess it was too early for you to use that attack" the voice rang in his head. "Avoid using the grimoire for a while, for the sake of the world and for our sake as well".
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is if you use the grimoire in your current state of mind you might lose yourself. This might cause you to go on a rampage and turn completely into the 'Black Beast'. If this happens you might lose those who you hold dear to you"
After hearing this Azure clenched his fist as he felt himself tremble. He couldn't afford to lose anyone else he holds dear. The he was snapped out of the state by Ragna's voice.
"Hey Azure, earth to Azure are you there?"
"Ah sorry seems I spaced out"
"Yeah no kidding. We're all set to go"
"Alright then. Azure Susanoo Activate!" Azure was once more dawned in the Susanoo. The material over his Susanoo that looked like a jacket appeared once more and he started facing the route was going to take.
"Alright then, this is goodbye for now hope we all meet again" said Ragna as the other joined him. On the other route Azrael joined Azure and both were ready to set out.
"I wish you luck, and hope when we meet were all in one piece." Both groups began to go their separate ways, it would take a while for them to meet again so both groups were praying for each others safe return, well all except one person.
"I wonder what was that earlier" said the white hair boy as he put his hands behind his head.
"I don't think we want to know, after all that power sent shivers all over my body" said Sora as she let out a sigh.
"That's weird coming from a girl who can easily swing a huge ass cannon around" said Shun with a smirk on his face.
"I dare you to say that again" said Sora as a killing intent surrounded her and Shun gulped after realizing he was going to get beaten.
"Knock it off you two" said Guren who was walking besides them. "We wouldn't want to make noise, after all we don't want to soldiers to realize were here."
"Even if you say that, we haven't encountered any soldiers in a long while. We've also not seen any more of those things and thank god for that" said Shun remembering their first battle with a Gen.
"Yeah, I have to agree with that" said Karin with a worried look remembering the battle.
"I am glad we got all the students to safety, but it was quite rude of them to leave us behind" said Akashi as he looked at the others.
"So are going to keep heading to the port? We have no guarantee that we will find a ship there", Guren said with his usual serious look. His red eyes staring towards the sky and his red hair blowing in the wind.
"Well it's our only lead and that's where all the students are heading" said Kirino, as she twisted a strand of her black hair.
"What do you think Akashi is this really a good idea?" asked Guren once more, but the one who answered was Shun and not Akashi.
"This might be just a guess but going to the port may be a bad idea"
"What do you mean Shun?" asked Akashi as he stopped walking.
"Think about it, we haven't seen any of the soldiers so far and they're nowhere in sight. Don't you find it strange? I mean they've been chasing us up and down all over the place then they suddenly stop", Shun then crossed his arm awaiting Akashi's response.
"Yeah you're right, I've been thinking the same thing for a while now and it's really been bothering me. But what does this have to do with the port?"
"We all know that we have to leave this place before it's blown to bits and the only way to do that is by airship" said Shun as a serious look befell his face. "We're not the only ones who know this meaning we're not the only ones who would think of going to the port meaning...", Shun couldn't manage to finish the sentence because he knew his classmates were in danger.
"It's a trap!?" the others said in unison.
"Not just a normal trap, a large scale one. The soldiers are probably waiting to ambush them the moment they reach there. It's going to be an absolute massacre", Shun said.
"We need to warn them" said Shun's sister Kirino as a look of horror filled her face.
"But how? Their way ahead of us and for all we know they could've already reached the port or are close to reaching it" said Guren. An idea then struck Akashi who had his hand on his chin trying to think of a solution.
"The NOL headquarters" said Akashi as he pointed to the building in the distance. "If we make it there we can transmit a broadcast and warn them"
"As expected of the 'White Flash', you already figured it out" said Shun as he ruffled Akashi's brown hair.
"Hey do you hear that" said Guren and silence filled the air and two voices could be heard.
"Dammit I should've asked Relius which way to go, this city is freaking confusing"
"What a pity seems were lost, seems you're not so good with directions as you are with fighting"
"Speak for yourself you're as lost as me...", The two voices kept arguing back and forth.
"Everyone, hide", they all took cover behind some barrels in an alley way. They tried to suppress their presence as much as they could using an invisibility ars activated by Sora. The two figures then started passing by them but while the blue haired man kept walking the one in the armor stopped.
"Why are you stopping?" asked Azrael.
"I feel like we're being watched"
"Oh shit he sensed us!" thought Shun. He then observed the person unsheathe his sword and suddenly thrusted through the air behind him. Blood started running down his sword and an invisible figure started appearing again.
"Gotcha" said Azure with a smirk.
"I-impossbile, how did you know I was there?" the Gen spoke. It's lifeless body then fell to the floor and Azure sheathed his sword.
"Oh you have good instincts" said Azreal with a smirk.
"I'll take that as a complement, by the way you six hiding behind the barrels come out"
"W-what should we do...he knows we're here" whispered Karin.
"We show ourselves" said Akashi as he came out and faced Azure.
"Oh so you decided to come out"
"I don't want to fight you, considering the feeling I get coming from you fighting you is the last thing I want to do" said Akashi as he sighed. "My name is Akashi, hey wait a minute...aren't you Hakumen of the 'Six Heroes'?"
"HELL NO! No way in hell I'm anything like that bastard!" retorted Azure.
"Oh I see, but you do look like him"
"My name is Ragna the Azure, nice to meet you" said Azure as he deactivated the Susanoo.
"Y-y-y-you're Ragna the Bloodedge!" screamed Shun.
"Oh crap, by the looks of things you guys are from the Military Academy"
"The SS rank criminal, Ragna the Bloodedge. Such a bad opponent to meet at a time like this" said Guren as he summoned La lame de l'empereur.
"Oh seems you want a fight" Azrael said as he cracked his knuckles.
"Woah, woah Azrael what do you think you're doing?!" screamed Azure. "Don't worry we won't do you guys any harm and I'm not the Ragna you are thinking of" he sighed and gave them a smile.
"B-but you look exactly like the one on the poster" said Karin who was terrified.
"Yeah but don't worry we have no intention of harming you. By the way you guys should get down" said Azure as he pointed behind them. The B-Gen was in mid swing and they all got got down before the attack connected.
-Phantom Striker!
The beastly creature was flung through the houses and came in contact with solid metal which put it out of its misery.
"T-thank you" said Kirino trying to process what took place.
"No problem. Hey I'd like to ask you guys a favor"
"What is it" asked Akashi as he got up.
"Could you show me where the NOL post is. I need to make a transmission to someone and then the entire city" said Azure as he looked at Akashi.
"We were just heading there ourselves" said Guren as he stood up. "We can go there together if you want. We need to warn those heading to the port that it's a trap."
"What do you mean?" asked Azrael.
"All the NOL soldiers are heading to the port. It's an ambush and a well set up one at that. If we don't warn them the whole place will become a bloodbath" said Shun.
"Alright then, we have a deal then. Let's form an alliance and save our friends then" said Azure. The other nodded at him and they began to introduce themeselves.
"Name's Sora Yugiri, nice to meet you" she said as she bowed
"Guren Bonapart"
"Shun Michibara" he said as he raised his right hand.
"My name is Karin Michibara, I am Shun's sister, nice to meet you Azure"
"Akashi Kento"
"Kirino Tachibana here! Nice to meet you" she flashed a bright my smile then looked at Azrael. "I feel like I've heard your name before I wonder where".
"It was when you hacked Sector Seven's server" said Sora as she sighed. "He's also known as Sector Seven's 'Mad Dog', someone you don't want to mess with".
"Must say you have really good memory Sora"
"Wait you hacked Sector Seven's main frame?! Wow you must have skill, never heard of anyone managing to hack Sector Seven's main frame except for Kokonoe" said Azure.
"Can we cut the chit chat and get where we need to go. Remember the clock is ticking and I don't want to die being blown to pieces" said Azrael as he yawned.
"He's right, which way to the post?" asked Azure.
"Follow me", Akashi then began to run and the others followed behind them. Azure and Azrael followed them to the destination which would determine whether they leave the city or not.
"We can rest here for a while" said Tsubaki while panting.
"We've done nothing all day except run. I'm so tired I feel like I can pass out" said Kagura as he laid on the floor of the house.
"Man up, surely you're not that weak" said a very exhausted Bullet.
"Speak for yourself, you look worse than me" said Kagura as he smirked.
"Miss Yayoi, could you continue telling me what you were saying before we started running?" asked Litchi.
"Ah right. I was telling you about Azure" said Tsubaki.
"You mean the Azure Grimoire?" asked Litchi.
"No, I mean Ragna the Azure"
"Don't you mean that villain Ragna the Bloodedge?" jumped in Bang.
"No I mean Ragna the Azure, a different Ragna the Bloodegde who came to this world from a different timeline".
"We don't know much about him but we do know he's trying to stop the bastard who got into this mess", Kagura added in.
"So you mean there are currently two Bloodegde running around?" asked Litchi.
"Ewww! Two pedophiles working together!" screamed Luna.
"Luna!" screamed Sena.
"Where is he currently?" asked Bang.
"If he is in the same situation as us, he should be here somewhere around the city" answered Kagura.
"So the reason for all this is because of him?" Bullet asked.
"Yes and No. Yes because he showed Kira a massive power that interested him and no because Kira wanted us dead from the beginning" said Kagura as he let out a deep sigh.
"So how does this relate to those creatures?"
"Simple really, do you remember when Kira said that he had his own soldiers around the city?" asked Kagura and the others nodded as a response. "Yeah, they are what he was referring to. Their tough to kill so all of you be careful".
"So what are our plans for now?" asked Bang.
"We keep heading to the port after we rest a bit. This place has proven to be more safe than the other places we've been to."
"Alright then" said Litchi. They all found a place to rest and they took a break, for they needed it after countless hours of fighting.
"Are you alright Saya?" Ragna asked as he looked at his sister. "You seem kinda pale".
"No I'm fine. I am just worried about those two" she said as she looked down.
"Worry not, I doubt he's the type to die so easily" said Relius with a sigh.
"Yeah, doubt that asshole would stay down even if you managed to kill him" said Terumi with a smirk.
"Those two are right Saya. Azure won't die, believe in him" said Kanade with a smile. Saya then smiled at her and she smiled back. Suddenly a very familiar voice could be heard throughout the city that eased their worried hearts.
"Soldier of the NOL" Azure's voice echoed throughout the city. "I know you're all under mind control and shit but let me ask you a question. Would you rather follow this asshole who mind controlled you and made you think he was the Imperator..." a picture of Kira appeared on a big screen over the city. "...or would you follow this girl right here who is your true Imperator" a picture of Saya as Izanami sleeping peacefully and cuddling against a pillow appeared.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEH?!" yelled Saya while her face turned a dark shade of red.
"WHAT THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE'S DOING?!" the others yelled in union.
"Ooooh?! He decided to use this move. As expected of Azure" said kanade.
"Huh, what are you talking about" asked Terumi shocked at the sight.
"Hehehehe, you'll see" said kanade with a mischievous smile.
A few minutes earlier...
"Phew, we're finally here" said Shun as he leaned against a wall.
"Damn, why the hell does the NOL have to have so many stairs" said Azure as he tried to catch his breath.
"I don't know but they need to make it smaller for god's sake. I feel like i'm going to pass out" said Akashi.
"S-so what now?" asked Karin.
"Now we contact Kokonoe first" said Azure. "Knowing Kira there is probably zero ships at the port. He wouldn't want us to escape this place alive afterall."
"As I thought, there really are no ships there" said Guren. Azure then walked over to the computer and started punching in buttons. A few seconds later a voice could be heard.
"Who are you and how did you get the code to this line" asked Kokonoe.
"Relax Kokonoe, it's me Azure".
"Glad to see your still alive and kicking" said Kokonoe as she let out a sigh of relief.
"Kokonoe, we need help. We're stranded on Torifune and we have no transportation for us or the civilians."
"I already know. I heard the details from Rachel a while back."
"Wait Rachel? Is she also in the city?"
"Apparently yeah. We're already working on transportation, we're on a ship now heading towards your location but we're going to be late" she said as her tone changed.
"What do you mean?" asked Azure.
"Right now the three ships that are heading towards your location is caught in a battle. It will take a while for us to break through. We can't rush or we might lose a ship."
"Alright then, I hope you make it here safely"
"Man I am seriously starting to wonder if you're really Ragna. Your way to nice to be anywhere near him."
"Well I am him and I'm not nice whatsoever"
"Well whatever floats your boat" she said as she sighed. "According to Rachel the port is flooding with soldiers. We need you to secure that area so the ship can dock. That's the only way I can evacuate the place. I need to focus on the battle now, see you soon and Azure try to stay alive" she said as she hung up.
"Well seems we have a way to leave" said Kirino.
"Yeah, the hard part is securing the dock" said Akashi.
"We can manage it" said Azrael with a smirk. Azure then pulled something out of his pocket and put it near the keyboard.
"Is that a camera?" asked Shun.
"Yep" said Azure with a smirk.
"What is it for?" asked Karin.
"Oh let's just say it's for a tactic Terumi from my world use to call 'Imperator Complex'"
"Imperator complex?" the others asked in unison.
"Yeah, the soldiers might be under mind control and what not but Kira made a big mistake."
"Which was...?", a puzzled look befall Azrael's face.
"He only sent male soldiers, and if there is one thing men can't resist it's a..."
"Cute and beautiful girl" the other boys said in unison.
"Watch and learn how it's done" said Azure.
Back to the current time...
"So which one do you choose?"
"Is this really going to work?" asked Guren as he looked at the group of NOL soldiers at the port from the monitor.
"Let's see" said Akashi.
"What is he planning to do" asked Relius.
"Watch this, 3...2...1"
"WOAH, SHES SO CUTE! THERE IS NO DOUBT SHE IS THE IMPERATOR!" all the soldiers said in unison and the jaw of the others dropped down.
"No way it worked!?" Kirino said in absolute surprise.
"T-they snapped out of the mind control" said Relius as he head all the yelling around different parts of the city.
"This guy is fucking unbelievable" said Terumi. "Where the hell did he get this plan from?"
"From the you from our world. This was your strategy when the NOL soldiers were being controlled" said Kanade
"No wonder it worked" said Terumi proudly.
"That's nothing to be proud of!" thought Relius and Ragna. Saya just stood there blushing not knowing how to react.
"Now that you've all snapped out of it, create a path for your one true Imperator at the port", Azure's voice echoed once more throughout the city. "Ships will arrive for all of us soon so everyone doesn't matter if they are civilians, Students or soldiers make your way to the port. Those who can fight defend that position with your lives. We're counting on you" said Azure as the speaker turned off.
"I must say I never seen not be surprised by him" said Relius as a smile formed on his face.
"Well you heard the man let's get going" said Ragna as he began to walk once more.
"Damn right, let's do this" said Terumi. The other followed behind them and Saya stared towards the sky and made a wish.
"I don't know why I care so much. I don't know if it's because you resemble my brother or something else but please come back to me safely", she clenched her hand on the edge of the jacket and she walked towards the others.
"You're unbelievable, do you know that?" said Shun as he walked towards Azure.
"I'll take that as a complement", Azure said with a smirk.
"I can't believe it only took one picture to do all that" said Kirino.
"It wasn't just a picture, it was a large scale armagus" said Azure.
"What do you mean?" asked Karin.
"It was originally made to counter the spell 'Mind Eater', but after fine tuning it it became a large scale ars that counters all effects of any ars or spells that have to do with mind control" said Azure with a smile. "It comes in very handy, all you need is a picture and a place to show it to your targets. The effect it has depends on what picture it is and what gender you're showing it too."
"Sounds like an awesome ars, you should teach it to me" said Kirino cheerfully.
"Sure why not, I think you would like it"
"Now that's done and over with let's get out of here" said Azrael as he began to walk to the door but Azure suddenly stops him.
"Who are you?" asked Azure as a hooded figure appeared on the doorway.
"I asked who are you". The figure then pulls down her hood revealing her long white her, and her face completely shocked Azure. He could not believe who was standing before him.
"Target confirmed, Ragna the Bloodegde"
"Tsu...ba...ki", Azure manage to utter.
