A/N: how we are going to the end of this arc, i know it's short but the true event was shorter than some expected, and i say some beacuse it's 13 years into Blazblue so hope you old and new fans enjoy it. And without futher ado, let's begin.
History change
Ragna struggle to stand up. After the shake is over, Hakumen prepare his sword as the two clash before Hakumen grabs Ragna then throw him through several concrete wall before.
"Soon, she will do it." Rachel mumurs, remember what happens next in other shift.
"Hmp, it's the Grim Reaper this weak?" Hakumen says while slowly approach him to kill Ragna off before being restrain by some yellow circles on him. The knight knows what this is as he mumer "Damn you, Grimnaklin."
"Yeah, that's enough from you." A scientist talking in her lab, typing the restrain on Hakumen from her monitor. She has pink hair that are long enough to be put into a ponytail and cat ears on her.
"Hmp, i won't let you interupt me, Grimnaklin" Hakumen says as he breaks the restrain, ready to kill the Grim Reaper before been put into another restrain.
"Don't resist it, just get back here once and for all, Hakumen." The scientist growled as once again, the knight breaks freely before she talks to Ragna "Hey, you. Get out here."
"Who are you to tell me what to do? Ragna screams out of anger.
"That doesn't matter, this person is too much for you, you have to get out of here quickly." The scientist pleads him as Ragna thought a bit.
"Looks like i got no choice to use this then." Ragna says, looking at the grimmore as he enchanted Restriction number 666 released."
"Looks like this shift will be the same as the oth..." Rachel says, remember the other shifts before.
"Meteor Kick." A voice yelled as something came forward to Hakumen, clash his mask and make him push a few feet back and stand a new figure, the one that Ragna knows for a year.
"B-Buckfire?" Ragna ask as the Gaxelloid turns around, noding at him.
"Yeah, it's me." Buckfire answers before turns back, saying "Now listen to that voice and get to the Cauldron, Ragna, i take care of this one."
"Okay, Buckfire." Ragna says, running to the cauldron while remember this pseuderoid hot head personallity.
"You're not allow to escape me, Dark One." Hakumen says before starting to run towards the Grim Reaper's direction before a wave of fire stops him, turns to the Gaxelloid with one Tomhawk still on fire.
"Hmp, you will fight me instead of Ragna." Buckfire says before prepare for a battle stance "That's the only way you get a chance to clash him."
"How foolish of you, standing in my way." Hakumen says, as he fully charge before continue "Do you know what the Dark one actually is?"
"Yeah, i do." Buckfire says with a little sad on him before he continue "But that doesn't mean it will be the same as that time, Hakumen."
"Oh, so you know me?" Hakumen ask before he say "If you do, then you know that you don't have a chance against me at all, do you?"
"Yeah, i do, but that doesn't mean it's true, you know?" Buckfire says, expand the other Tomhawk out of his hand before continue "Beside, if you truly able to do that, i got a trick up my sleeve."
"You do?" The scientist questions the Gaxelloid as he lays attention to her.
"Yeah i do, whoever you are." Buckfire says before turns his focus on Hakumen "So i will give you a choice, get out of here or fight me?"
"I will not stop until the Dark One will be destroy by my blade so i go for the second option." Hakumen says before charging with his sword towards Buckfire.
"Hmp, so that's how it goes huh?" Buckfire says before he charges at Hakumen, continue "Well then, you left me no choice."
(Cue "Susanooh" from Blazblue )
The two clash blades to each other, attacking when they have a chance. Hakumen release the Summer advance before it been dissapear by Buckfire's flamethrower, while the Gaxelloid make another Meteor Kick and crash at Hakumen's belly before jumps and land safetly.
"So you can hurt me good, huh?" Hakumen says before charging once again only for his sword to be block by Buckfire's Barrier.
"Yeah, and i won't give up till the very end." Buckfire shouts as he uppercuts him before Rocketed up to him and threw Hakumen's body, leaving him on the floor, before the Knight stands up, ready for his attack.
"You did good there." Hakumen says before his sword charge up and continue "But that doesn't mean, it's over yet. Empty sky: Summer Advance."
"Huh?" Buckfire grunts before been hit by the energy blade, make him takes a few steps back before stand up once again.
"I will make sure the Dark one will not survive this, even if i have to cut you to pieces." Hakumen says before charging at the Gaxelloid once again.
"Then i make sure you don't get to him at all, Flaming scissors." Buckfire says while both of the Tomahawks glows with fire as he slash at Hakumen, creating a large exploison to cover things up.
"Now, that's interesting." The scientist mumbles as she just saw how Buckfire able to stand up against one of the Six Heroes, something that he even knew about.
"This change is uniqe." Rachel says as she drinks her tea from her garden.
"But that doen't mean that this shift will be the same or not." Hazama says while observing as he left Jin battered up, while the NOL Major grunts himself.
Once the explosion was done, both Buckfire and Hakumen were still standing, pants heavily as they contiue to attack each other, Hakumen with his sword and Buckfire with his horns.
"He's too strong." Buckfire says after sometime of battling the Masked Freak before saying "Looks like i got no choice but to use this after all."
Once Buckfire says that, he clash his two hands together, enchanting "By the power of Fefnir and the good gods of this world, let my full power unleash and nothing will stand in my way once and for all."
Once chant done, the Gaxelloid punch his arm at the ground, make lava out of nowhere appear, swallow him.
"Is this what he meant by trick?" The scientist ask before smirks a bit "Well, this just got more interersring."
(End song).
Before all that happen, Noel was still looking for the Wanted Criminal, Ragna the Bloodedge when she enters a room with a big lookalike pot, has some oragne lookalike stuff around it as she takes a good look at this.
"I've, i've seen this before" Noel mummers as some black stuff were getting closer to her eyes, once they did, Noel eyes went open fully up.
"Scanning... Scanning... Scanning" The System says as the door infront of it went open, dropping itself into the cauldron before a girl come down at Noel. This woman has the face like her, one eye red while the other was been blindflod, has white hair and wearing a light blue clothes with an white cape.
Once the pillar of magma that Buckfire created before stopped, Buckfire stands there with all his red part equip with magma around them, from his horn, his feet and various others were now covered in Magma.
"Hmp, so this is your ultimate form." Hakumen says, still has his Drive on him before continue "That's impressive, but will that be enough to stop me."
"Hmp, only one way to find out." Buckfire says as the two clash each other with full strengh on hand, causing another explosion.
"Scanning... Identified yourself." The white girl says in a robotic tone.
"I am prime field number 12" Noel says, also in a robotic in tone like she not even herself anymore, before continue while"Anti-sinshakin core unit-Mu. Identified yourself and i need an explanation ".
"Unit description Prime field number 13" The girl explain as they walking forward to each other as she continue "Anti sankishin core unit-Nu."
Once they got close, they touch each other hands to have green electric surrond on their hands as Nu continue "Subject, your extitence is incogurous, recomend self-destruction."
"Recomenditon rejected." Noel says as she continue "Continued exstitence will be given top priorrity, searching for reponse."
"Contact with an unauthoratized indentical unit, confirm subject is opptional." Nu says, stilp remain calm
as she continue "Apporiate measure -elimiation."
"Wow, things got out of hand quickly." Vulturon says, watching from affar as he grew currious about the NOL more so he decides to go look at them for hinself. He want to get out there and stop it, but knows that this is not his battle so he remains there, watching it until he can interfere the right time.
"As such, comence emiliation subject." Both says together as Noel jumps out, gets rid of her NOL coat and summons the dual Nox-Nyctronex pistol: Bolverk, while Nu remains there, something big drops behind her. Once the dust is over, Nu is there, with armor all over her body and blades follow her as they prepare to attack.
(Cue "Aweakening of Chaos" from Blazblue)
Noel fires a shot which one of Nu's blade block it and continue to shot more as some of damage Nu, others been block by her blades when Nu was behind Noel, kicking her to the wall. When Noel falls down and able to see again, she forget about what happen earlier.
"Huh? What am i doing here" Noel ask, confuse as to what happen here before she continue "What..is this?"
A blade went for Noel as she jumps out of it and land on the other side, still question "What am i fighting?"
Noel able to land a few shot to Nu as the Muramuko Unit jumps up, throwing every blades towards Noel. Some miss while others been deflect by Noel's bullet before Nu attempt to kick her which unfortunetly, Noel dodges and land a close range shot as she pants heavily before saw Nu was still able to fight, hung on a hole of the wall.
"Continuing the elimanation of Subject" Nu says as she gets out and make forward to Noel as she fires every shot towards Nu but didn't slow her down.
"How can she still move? Why can't she stay down?" Noel says, wonder how Nu able to walk towards her with bullets on every time, until Noel screams "Stay away from me."
Noel felt down, been affraid of Nu and the thought of being died
"Unit recover, deploy petals." Nu says as her body went back to orriginal and blades appearing besides her
'Am i going to die?' Noel thought as her memory start to come back, from her hangout with her friends to other such and somehow see a memory she never got, of a boy with blonde hair laying down with a girl looking at him, smilling.
"Perish" Nu says, all her blades flung towards Noel as Noel close her eyes, awwating her dead.
"No" Vulturon says as he perpare his guitar, prepare to Black Rule himself towards Noel until Ragna appear before her, blocking every blade that appear before him.
"Thank god." Vulturon says, breathing happily as he doesn't need to worry big anymore.
(You can stop the song here or continue until i say start it again).
Noel felt a sensation her as thoughts cover around her 'I never meet him, but why does he looks farmiliar?'
"What are you doing here, idiot?" Ragna ask as he turns to look at Noel for a bit to saw her, crying bigly as the Grim Reaper look at her worried.
"Ragna" Nu says in a cold tone as the Grim Reaper turns to her before she continues, suddenly went yandery "Ragna, it's really you, it's been a long time, hasn't it? Well the last time we meet was in Akitsu, right?"
"I don't really know" Ragna answer, don't know if they're actually met at Akitsu or not.
"Well then, are you here to kill Nu or not?" Nu says cheerfully.
"Not here to kill, but here to destroy." Ragna says while still holding Bloodscythe on his hand.
"Aww, for me it's the same thing." Nu says cheerfully as Ragna look at her, more pissed before continue "Unlike you, Ragna, Nu hates everyone and doesn't need anyone to help her."
"Aww, Nu remember you stab me out blue." Nu says as image shows the Bloodscythe stab at something before she continue "That really hurt, you know?"
"Shut up." Ragna says, getting irrated of this girl already from her whinning and her face.
"But you know it felt good right, Ragna?" Nu ask as Ragna looks at her in shock before she continue " Stab and at Nu's body, ambush when before anu was born, and be able to speak with you. You and i are one of the same, Ragna. We want to destroy things, right? Let us bond together once and for all, Ragna?"
"The more you eat it, the more thorn you will grow." Rachel says, looking at her rose while still observing it before continue "No escape has been made for you, let the time swallow you. And you will know what is the never-ending circle."
(Start again here for those who stop the song.)
"Come here, Ragna." Nu says as she shot blades towards Ragna and Noel as Ragna blocks them while Noel been hit by one, knock unconsious as Ragna lpoks back a bit before Nu preform an spinning Kick to Ragna as he block it with Bloodscythe easily before and Nu preform around a roundhouse kick on Ragna as he fell down, before leaps back from Nu's knee attack. As Nu stands up, all her blades return to her and blue portals appear, Ragna turns back his sword and enchanted with Darkness. As the two continue to class each other, Hazama just arrive, look at the battlefield smilling a bit, which makes Vulturon from the other side nervous once he know the Snake's pressence, the two attack each other from various to varrious place, Ragna throws a dark wave energy from his sword to Nu but she still continues, they continue to do it while Noel was still unconsious before they came back to the platform that has Noel on it.
"Come on, Nu will hold you close." Nu says, raising a hand up as Ragna suddenly look at Nu but with image of Saya, his sister on her shock.
"What is this? What the hell is this" Ragna asked still on shock while putting a hand on his face before saying "Damn it, Damn it."
Both Ragna and Nu clash to each other as Nu raise her blades and Ragna prepare the Grimmore to contuer back, only to being impaled by a sword of her hair on his chest.
"You piece of..." Ragna says slowly as Nu put a hand on his face and hug him.
"Nu's so happy" Nu says while Hazama looks with his usual face and Vulturon with worried.
"At the end, it's the same." Rachel says, knows what happens next.
After dealing with Hakumen done, Buckfire went to the cauldron and supprise to see what's happening before his eyes, slowly say while still in shock "W-what the hell is this?"
"This, this fell really good, Nu wants to melt with you." Nu says as the sword from her hair removes them as blood spill al over her face.
"Why you..." Ragna says as Noel slowly open her eyes, seeing what happening before her as Nu takes a step back into the Cauldron.
"Come on, let's go." Nu says while slowly backaway as Noel trying to stand up as Nu continue "And you and Nu become a monster that devour the world and live happily ever after."
Ragna tries to fight back but accept this fate as he slowly falling with Nu.
"No" Noel says, standing up running forwards as Ragna turn back to look at her before she continue "You can't go."
A memory being played as two kids were under the tree, one male with spiky hair, lay down while the other girl with short hair, sitting.
"Oh, it's you Saya." Ragna (from his youth) says, looking peacefully before continue "Are you okay, Saya? Did you and Jin get into a fight again?".
Saya mumble something that Ragna can't hear as he says "Can't hear you, i'm real tired."
"Don't give up." Saya mumbles as Ragna able to hear it as he ask "What?"
"Don't give up." Noel says as once the flashback is over, Ragna turns one arm at her and in a quick moment, they able to hold it as something which makes all of them gasp as Nu being overwhelm by purple electric but Nu able to hold Ragna's leg once it over, still bleeding.
"You bitch." Ragna says as he tries to shake Nu off before continue "Why can't you just die already."
"Nu wants to die with Ragna." Nu says summoning a blade to fire at Noel but before it made contact, Buckfire able to block it with his tomahawk just in time.
"Looks like you lost this one." Buckfire says as he puts both his arm together, continue "Why don't you just went alone on the other side, bitch?".
Buckfire fires a Fire Arrow at Nu, which makes her lets go as she screams in disapointment and hurt from flames that Buckfire fires at her as she finnaly went into the pool of lava underneath it. Buckfire then helps Noel bring Ragna back up as the two looks with some thoughts on their mind seppriately once they put him on solid place. Every one who able to watch it was shock of what just happen.
"I-impossible." Rachel says, surprise that the shift didn't end like the other ones.
"Bingo." Hazama says while bumping his hand, like when he exicted to see something new.
"That's unexpected." Vulturon says, surprise about what just happen before Black rule himself to near there, giving them some time before confront them.
(End song)
'Who was that girl? And why did she want to die with Ragna?' Buckfire thinks, still shock about what just happen.
"Dumb jerk...Dumb jerk..Dumb jerk..Dumb jerk."Noel says continue slowly until Ragna just sits up and shouted "Quit calling me a dumb jerk."
Noel gasp as she looks at the Grim Reaper, both hand on her mouth and crying as Ragna looks abit before refocused on her as she still cries as Noel went to him, furiously hitting on him with her small fist until she fell down, exhausted from what just happen.
"What's the deal with her?" Ragna ask, surprise by Noel's actions.
"You tell me, Now that was unexpected" Buckfire answer, looking all of this with a happy but worried face on him.
"The time has began to move again." Rachel says as she floats into the moons level before teleport to their location, saying "Thank you for help me killing my time, Ragna and whoever-you-are."
Both Ragna and Buckfire turn to the source of the voice to see Rachel there before Ragna ask "Hey, Rabbit. Who the hell is she?"
"The new eye." Rachel replied with a sad face on her.
"Eye? What the hell are you talking about?" Ragna asked, fufrious of this girl cryptic towards him.
"The Azure Succescor. The Calalmity Trigger." Rachel answer calmly.
"You mean like, the true Azure kepper?" Buckfire ask, confuse as to what this little girl talking about.
"In a way, yes it is." Rachel answer before she continue "The time that has been eddy has begin to flow, i can't see in this drift anymore, this event has left the world let fall."
"I seriously don't know what are you talking about." Ragna says, frustated of this Bunny-Leech cryptic words.
"You mean like, you can't predict the future any more, right?" Vulturon asked, hoping towards them as they looks at him before he continue "I just happen to come by here, hope i don't startle you guys at all."
"You didn't, brother." Buckfire says.
"Succesor to the true Azure, what does it mean?" Ragna says, confuse as to what Rachel said earlier.
"I think what she means is that your Azure is nearly the same but has some diffrence in it that doesn't compare to the real one." Buckfire says, putting all the piece together to contribe a solid theory as Noel starts to stand back up and wonder what's going on here.
"Yes, that's what i expect from an Intelligence member affer all." Hazama says as he appears behind him, make everyone who look at him with wide eyes.
"Hazama, no, Yukki Terumi, what are you doing here?" Buckfire ask, shocked that the NOL Captian's here as well as Noel was shocked of hearing that as well.
"Ah, nice to see you there, sub member." Hazama says before open his yellow eyes, continue "Or should i say former Sub-member now that i saw your true intention around you."
Then Hazama drop his hat, turn from soft into spiky as he just change from calm to savage just an turn.
"Terumi!!!" Ragna says as him, Rachel and Buckfire of them going to charge in and attack Terumi, Ragna slash him with Blood scythe, Rachel with electricity at the snake, Buckfire with his Meteor Kick before Terumi realse his Ouroboros chain, chomping all of them down.
"Hahaha, now that was fun." Hazama says before continue to summon more as he says "Now it's time for all of you to die."
The chains flying towards them as Vulturon able to block them all with his Sound Vibration before smash Terumi with Guitar Hammer, which make Hazama dented a lot as the Snake jumps into another platform.
"That was a good setup." Hazama say in his calm before continue "But you know, Raggy that you and Buckfire can't beat me, only the Vampire can."
"That's nearly what Hakumen told me." Buckfire says before he fires off 3 fire arrows to which, Hazama dodge them before continue "But i able to keep him down, and you're in the same leauge as him so i think i can beat you as well and maybe Ragna can as well."
"Aww, don't compare me to Hakky." Hazama says, remember about his former ally before continue "That maybe true but it deffinetly won't work on me as well, now i got other things to take care of, tuddles."
As Hazama left, everyone look at each other, worried about what will come next now that Hazama reveals himself.
"Be careful about what happen next, you three." Rachel says before teleport herself out of here.
"Yeah, you guys better Be prepare for what's about to happen next, guys." Vulturon says as he left away before Ragna and Buckfure decdies to carry Noel, who was still awake of and wonder Hazama or now Terumi's true intention wonder what will happen next in the near future.
End of act 1
A/N: And that will be the end of this arc so next time, an diffrent arc will be put in there so hope you guys enjoy it and if you wonder where did Buckfire get those new move, it's beacuse time changes and he studies himself further and if you think the chanting to his new form was stupid, i try my best, Alright? If you also wonder why Vulturon has less action, it's beacuse in the game he orriginate, he just play his special Guitar non-stop so i can't do anything about it except give him the abbility to temporlary ressurect commander robots from his former world and i make sure he can do it at some point or another. So hope to see you guys another time.
