"Ugh..."
In the City of Vale a boy with brown spiky hair and an ahoge slowly wakes up. The boy is wearing a black top with an opening at the chest, revealing a black tattoo, on the sleeves are metal plates with the images of crosses on them while the sleeves themselves have yellow lining on the edges. He wears Black trousers with a red cross on his left leg, like the ones on his sleeves, and a red belt. He has black and red steel - tipped shoes as well as black and red finger-less gloves, his left arm is a perfectly normal arm, his right however is red and black with a white line separating the two.
"Where... am I...?"
The boy gets up opening his eyes revealing them to be a hazel color. This boy is Naoto Kurogane.
"I was wondering when you'd wake up"
A voice called out to him. Getting up quickly and turning around he saw a Wolf Beastkin. He had dark blue hair, his ears and tail were likewise a dark blue and bright blue eyes. His clothing was a black tracksuit top with a blue zipper and black tracksuit bottoms with what appeared to a strange image of a blue flower? On his hand were black finger-less gloves with blue rings at the end. On his right arm he wore a ring around his wrist that matched the color of his eyes, unlike his eyes however it seemed to give off a glow.
"Jeez, calm down would ya? Then again you don't seem to be the same Naoto I met at the Phantom Boundary so I guess your concern is warranted." The beastkin had said to him in a rather calm and some-what friendly manner.
"The Phantom Boundary? Sorry but I honestly have no idea what you're talking about"
The Beastkin sighed, "figures, that when I end up in Remnant again and see a friendly face arrive in the same manner and it's not even the same version of that person... just fan-fucking-tastic..." the beastkin complained running his hand through his hair. "Seriously, you'd think the universe would cut me a break just THIS once with the amount of shit it puts me through after I died..." he muttered.
"Wait, you're dead?!" Naoto shouted in surprise. upon getting a second look however he noticed the beastkin's lifeforce was just like his own. A big fat 0.
"So, what brings ya to remnant?" he asked
"Should I really just tell him? like me he doesn't seem to be from this world, but at the same time..."
"well?"
Naoto is interrupted from his thoughts as the beastkin stands there with a single hand on his hip, awaiting an answer.
"Might as well" He thought to himself. "I just finished saving my world, that's what, I was supposed to be back in my world but as you can see, that's not the case..."
"I see... well then I think that either A: our paths crossed and so instead of getting sent back to your own world you got dragged here. or B: the Universe decided to send you to help me. With what exactly, I don't know, I'm never told anything."
"Well I guess a basic rundown wouldn't be too bad, what kind of crap do you normally have to put up with?" He asked the Beastkin.
"Wow, not even a 'what's you name?' huh? Well whatever, normally whenever I'm sent in it's because there's an outside element to the timeline i get sent to, sometimes this outside element is someone from a different world showing up" He points at Naoto, "and other times it's... it's because there was a drastic change in the timeline's course of history, an example would the swapping of roles like... I don't know, Jin becoming 'Jin the Bloodegde' instead of Ragna." He finished.
"That's... honestly hard to imagine..."
"I know but it's probably happend at one point or another... anyway, the name's Kazuki"
"And you already know mine."
[Cue BlazBlue Central Fiction: Jaeger]
"Yep, I'll give you the breakdown of Remnant's History another time, but for now we should probably help stop that robbery" Kazuki said as he pointed to a shop just as a thug in a black Tuxedo is sent flying through the window.
The one who knocked said thug out the window was a small girl wearing a black and red dress with a red cape, her belt around her waist carried several containers of what Naoto could only assume was ammo, why, he didn't know as she unfurled a scythe three times as big as she was, stabbing it into the ground.
"Come on, let's go help!" Kazuki said almost excitedly as he rushed off to the girl's side.
Catching both the eyes of Naoto and girl were motes of blue light that were forming the shape of weapon in one of Kazuki's hands. Once the light condensed everyone now saw a long steal katana. The Blade and Handle were both a gun-metal black while the tsuba was pure metallic white.
Naoto decided that he'd done enough staring and rushed up beside Kazuki and entered a fighting stance. All of the thugs now began to look rather uneasy at the girl's sudden reinforcements. Kazuki didn't bother giving them a chance to attack at all as he rushed a thug in front of them with his katana, quickly slashing across the thug's chest instantly sending him into a wall due to the sheer force behind the attack.
Naoto was confused when he didn't see any blood go spraying across his ally's face but after beating a thug of his own with a few well placed punches and kicks, he noticed that the thug had some sort of shine around him that broke as he knocked the thug out. Looking over at the girl, he was amazed at what he was seeing. Using the scythe she was swatting the thugs away like they were flies, she was a fighting prodigy if nothing else.
Kazuki, having known this scene normally played out, decided to not bother helping the girl who he knew as Ruby Rose. So he focused on the unusual number of thugs before him.
"strange, there weren't this many in any of other timelines, not even THAT blasted timeline" he shuddered as he remembered one version of Remnant he'd like to forget. Focusing on the fight in front of him, he rushed at the thugs, this time allowing his katana to dissipate into blue motes of light, as more surrounded his arms, giving shape to white armor on his fore-arms while his hand now had black armor with a white back piece on the top of his hand. His ring was still on his wrist as nothing could replace it. One of the thugs swung a crowbar down at Kazuki which he blocked with his arm, bending the crowbar, before punching the thug in the face, cracking his shield, that Kazuki knew was called an 'Aura', and sending him into a wall.
"Give it up, I can break your aura in an instant, you don't stand a chance" He warned the thugs with fiery look in his eyes. above him were several more motes of light in the shape of swords, guns and even Ruby's scythe.
Deciding that they'd rather live, the thugs quickly dropped their crowbars and other weapons before surrendering.
"Smart choice", several swords implanted themselves in the ground surround the thugs, "now stay there".
Naoto and Ruby had just finished up with their band of thugs and had reunited with Kazuki before they all heard clapping.
"You were truly worth every cent, truly you were." A man in a white tuxedo, black pants, shoes and a black bowler hat with a red ring going around it said walking up. He had a cigar in his mouth and a seemingly normal cane. He had orange hair with his bangs covering one of his eyes.
"Well Red, Black and Blue, I'll say it's been an eventful evening". He drops the cigar to the ground, crushing it with his cane, "but as much as I'd love to stick around," he raised his cane pushing a button that pops the end of the it open, aiming it at Ruby, "This is where we part ways" The man fired a shot from the cane at them and just as they were about to dodge, Kazuki, now holding the katana again, cut the projectile in half... only to forget it was an explosive round. Luckily, Kazuki took most of the attack and that just left a lot of dust to blind Naoto and Ruby.
The three of them come back to their senses and notice that the crime boss is gone. Kazuki looks to the ladder on a building expecting to see him climbing up it, only to see him not there, he then looks over to the thugs he captured only for most of them to shrug and the others to shake their heads.
[End Song]
"Damn, he got away..." He cursed aloud.
The three of them hear heels and looks to see a woman with a riding crop, glasses, blond hair, green eyes a small cape that black on the outside and purple on the inside. She had on a white top with a black leggings and skirt.
"crap-baskets" Kazuki swore in his head, he forgot that Glynda Goodwitch normally shows up and saves Ruby from Roman Torchwick. Hey, normally he isn't on Vale's streets to help Ruby, he usually ends up in a forest.
Naoto, not reading the room, street? whatever. Naoto, not reading the street, gets into a Combat stance.
"Naoto, don't she's a huntress... and we're in trouble..."
Naoto simply looks at him with a face that says 'huh' unlike Ruby who, upon hearing the word 'Huntress'-
-"OhmyodyourearealhuntresscanIhaveyourautographpleasepleaseplease?!" proceeded to fan-girl.
"You're all coming with me... and Mr. Kazuki just because Professor Ozpin said he's give you time to think about his proposition doesn't mean you can go off and do whatever you want" Goodwitch said while giving Kazuki a stern glare.
"R-Right... whoops..." Was all Kazuki could say.
"Well crap..." was also all Naoto could say.
