Moving Shift

"Over here Ragna!" A scream can be heard as The young teenager looked and saw his younger siblings sitting next to their Matron mother. Ragna gave a small wave as he ran over towards them. There group was sitting by the river as they watched the sunset, the field bathed in a gentle orange glow. Ragna continued to run over to his siblings… and he kept running as the scene changed.

The church was in flames, as he found himself on the ground grasping where his right arm had been.This is all your fault.Those five words from his younger brother would continue to haunt him. If only he'd seen this coming, if only he'd known about Yukianesa. If only…

The scene changed once more. He found himself in a building that he quickly identified as an NOL branch due to its design. The Imperator sat in front of him. Looking him dead in the eyes with an expressionless face as she says "Now the only goal you have is to kill me. Very fitting… for the Black Beast. Will you go and enjoy killing your beloved sister, I wonder?".

Ragna was breathing heavily as he shot up out of the bed he was in. The nightmare had seemed so real to him, who's to say it wasn't a message or something like that? 'Damn it, am I really letting a stupid dream turn me into some coward?' Ragna thought bitterly. He looked down at where his left arm had been and only saw a bandaged side. His shirt and jacket had been removed and were sitting on a hook across the room with some others clothes on it.

"Is something wrong, Ragna the Bloodegde?" a familiar voice asked him. Ragna turned and saw Tager slumped over against the wall. He looked better then the last time Ragna had seen him, some of his parts had been repaired, but the work was far from done.

"Yeah, i'm fine and Where are we anyway?" Ragna asked looking around. Their current location seemed to be the infirmary room for a small clinic.

"This is Doctor Litchi's clinic in Orient Town. It's close to ten at night. This is where both Makoto and Buckfire brought me during your fight with Relius Clover. Thank you again for that. I wouldn't have made it out otherwise." Tager answer, feeling grateful of what happend before hand.

"You're welcome." Ragna says as he looks to the right side and saw the Gaxelloid sleeping on the other bed, snoring peacefully as the Grim Reaper continue "Hmp, looks like he's been alright after the battle pretty well, good for him. But what about Noel and Makoto, then?"

"They're resting in the other room. They had wanted to stay here and make sure you were alright, but Kokonoe managed to convince them to get some rest and Buckfire volunteer to stay here to watch us so that's why he's here." Tager answer as The door opened, revealing the pink haired half-beast. She looked over at the two and sighed "The hell am I going to do with you two? How you holding up, Tager?"

"Your repair units are working efficiently, but at this rate I'm afraid I'd be here for a full week," Tager admitted, feel a bit shame about how he got here in the first place.

"I'll take care of that once we get back to Sector Seven. And you Ragna?" Kokonoe ask with some worried to the Grim Repear.

"Physically speaking, I'm healing. Otherwise… It's been a tough day." The Grim Reaper sighed. "We lost Lambda by the way. She died saving me from Terumi."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Kokonoe admitted in sadness before continue normally "But in the meantime I've got something for you." She grabbed a long, silver, case from the hallway and opened it. Inside was a bio-mechanical arm, resized and fitted to meet Ragna specifications. "This is going to hurt like a bitch." Kokonoe admitted as she undid Ragna's bandages and set the arm in place.

The sensation to Ragna reminded him of when he had attached the BlazBlue, not at all pleasant. After a few moment of searing pain, the arm was set looking like Ragna's old arm had never left. His sense of feeling was in place and it acted like his old arm, even the color and size was perfect.

"Why the special treatment?" he asked suspiciously as Kokonoe sighed.

"Consider it a sign of trust. If the Imperator's as strong as I'm lead to believe, I (as much as I can't stand to admit it) need your help but also beacuse someone i know want me to help you as well. Also, the material for that came from Lambda's regenerative tank, so take care of it." Kokonoe says, knowing that ask help is the last thing she ever done in her life and inform the Grim Repaer about the tank.

"Got it." Ragna said before standing. There was only a minor discomfort now, the BlazBlue having taken effect as he ask "What's the plan from here? And by the way, whoever want to help me, sent my regard to whoever that person is for me."

"I'll make sure to send it for you and as for the other reason, I'm going to need you to head to Ikaruga soon. I have a contact there that might be able to help us. Until then, I need to start a full scale maintenance on Tager back at Sector Seven, so feel free to stay in Kagutsuchi and rest for a few days if you want." Kokonoe answer calmly as a knock canbe heard from the door.

"Um, Professor?" Linhua asked from the hallway. "The uh…movers are here."

"Oh good. Well Ragna, Tager and I are off. Make sure to behave yourself, I know having to girls around all the time could be fun but…" Kokonoe says as she noticing the Reaper roll his eyes, Kokonoe chuckled as she mubles "Now I see why Rachel messes with you, it is kinda fun."

"Wait, can i ask one thing before you leave?" Ragna asked, want to know about something on his mind.

"I have little time so sure, what is it?" Kokonoe asked, wonder what the Grim Reaper.

"What do you know about the Kushinda's Lynchpin?" Ragna asked as Kokonoe puts a hand on her mouth to think for a bit.

"Well, what a weird coincidence beacuse i heard it was in Ikagura." Kokonoe answer "But where do you know such a thing?"

"I heard something about it, that's all." Ragna answer.

"I see. I'll see you later." Kokonoe says as She and Tager left the Clinic afterwards, leaving Ragna felt alone for a few minutes of what just happen as he was messing a bit.

"Morning, Rags." Buckfire yawned as he woke up from his sleep and ask once he looks at Ragna's new arm "Where did you get that new arm from? I don't remember you regain one from the last battle that we have to take care of last night."

"Kokonoe gives it to me as a cooperation gift and for someone else sake for me but ask me later on to go to Ikagura for her contacter for it whenever i want to." Ragna answer, still felt weird about his new arm.

"I see, and it looks like i have to accompany along for this one after all." Buckfire says calmly, trust the Sector Seven a little bit than before and know that eventually, this will happen as the door open to reveal Makoto, Noel and Litchi there. Makoto and Noel were wearing pajamas with diffrent ountlines of them, acorns and pandas respectively while Litchi wears her usual clothes for the day.

"So, are you allright, Ragna?" Noel ask timidly once she realize what Makoto and Buckfire told her last night.

"Yeah, i'm fine and you?" Ragna says, feeling a bit better than usual from his rest.

"Good, glad to hear it." Noel answer in relief as Makoto and Litchi drags her to take a sit on Ragna's bed, relax of what they just have to thought of.

"Now everyone's here, i think we should dicuss of what should we do next." Buckfire says, curious as to what they will do from here on out.

"I agree, with the situation that's going on by the NOL, i sussgest we should go diffrent paths just in case then." Ragna sussgest, worried about his friends as he remembered what Terumi said before hand about him will kill his friends slowly once he got the chance to.

"Yeah, we should and try to keep our heads down from here on out then to make sure that their game is ineffective to us at all." Buckfire says, thought about what just happend more carefully.

"Alright, i will take Noel and went with the Sector Seven while you two figure out what to do next since then." Makoto says, want to keep her best friend in shape of what just happened last night.

"And what about you, Litchi?" Buckfire asked, wonder what the doctor will do now from here on out.

"I'll be staying here for a few days as well before travel on my own to find a diffrent cure for Arakune." Litchi answer, felling worried of Linhua taking care of the clinic for a while she gone.

"Alright then, we should be going about a few more days so i sussgest we should go out today now to spend some time while we still can then." Buckfire says, wanting to spend some time with everyone before eventually going to go war with an world organazation.

"Alright, me and Noellers will go up and change. See you guys later." Makoto says excidetly as she grabs Noel's hand and ran out of the room, leaving the last three in the room for a while.

"So, i heard from my brother last night that you being offered to work with the NOL but you decline it, is that true or not, Litchi?" Buckfire asked, remember when his brother Vulturon told him once he met him back at the clinic while Ragna was still unconious as he puts his jacket back to his body while Ragna went and wear back his red coat and place BloodScythe on the back of him.

"Well yes, everything that your brother told about me is all true but i refuse it once i realize that mistake will cause me much more than what he offer." Litchi answer truthfully, knowing there's no back down from this once and for all in this case.

"Well, good to know that or else, i would have beat you up right now for doing something like that." Ragna says, felt relive that the doctor didn't accept the offer as he ask "But does that offer have anything to do with Arakune or not?".

"Yes. In fact, it's the cure that Hazama or Terumi offer me of." Litchi answer, feel shameful about the thought of she accepted the offer.

"Make sense. Glad you didn't fall for that asshole's tricks, Litchi." Ragna says kindly, which Litchi nods at this as the Criminal decides to test it out by doing some push ups to test it out while talk "So, what about travel with me and Bucks for a while then once we get going?".

"Rags, even though that's sound like a decent idea but i doubt where she will go from here on out will be the same as us at all, so i don't think it's worth it at all." Buckfire says with an angry glare, frustated by his friend thought.

"Yeah, even though that sound make sense but it also dumb as well." Litchi says, agree with the Gazelloid as she continue with a second thought "But after all the stuff that i have witness and heard, a little company couldn't be bad at all so i think it's make sense that we stick together a bit before seperate our ways till then."

"See, she even thought so too." Ragna says while still doing push-up with a smirk to Buckfire, who snorts in anger and turns back a bit from his friend's smirk.

"Anyways, When will we leave here?" Buckfire asked, scoffed and snort at this talk a bit.

"About 2 days then, so we should relax until then." Ragna answer, relax a bit than usual as he's done doing it now.

"Yeah, and until then, we will go then but for now, we should prepare then." Litchi says in calmness of today's peacefulness. Meanwhile, Noel and Makoto were prepare their clothes for today in their rooms: Makoto wearing her usual attire of oragne miniskirt and an oragne coat with an yellow tie while Noel wear her new pair of clothes that the Sector Seven give to her recently before their departure: A white shirt that expose her back, which been covered with a blue cape with some red strings and a blue miniskirt to the waist that has a belt to kept it from being pulled down easily, black and long socks that cover most of her legs and blue boots with some white outline to it.

"Well?" Makoto asked with an devious face once she's done with her outfit and sits on one of the beds, which make Noel confuse at this.

"Well what?" Noel asked, confuse of what Makoto meant by it.

"Aren't you going to reveal your feelings on Buckfire sooner or later?" Makoto asked devillously, which makes Noel blush at this came out of nowhere.

"I-i don't know what you're talking about, Makoto." Noel stammer, blushing while turn away to make sure her friend doesn't see this and joke her more at all.

"Oh yeah, then why are you turn your back on me and stammer as well?" Makoto ask, teasing her friend more.

"I just saw him as friends and nothing else, that's all." Noel answer shyly about her friend's thought.

"Aww, admit it. You're like him for a long time after all, don't you?" Makoto asked with devious intention about this as the door been knocked a few times, which shock the two.

"Are you girls done yet, we're about to leave right now so hurry up or else." Buckfire says on the other side, frustated by the girls's times there as he leaves the two to met with Ragna and Litchi in the lobby.

"C-coming." Noel says timidly as she leaves first once she's done, leaving Makoto there with a thought on her mind.

'You may able to leave this one but next time isn't gonna be easy at all so prepare for it while you're still can, Nollers.' Makoto thought with a smirk on her face as she leaves as well, close the door before go down to hang out with the others for today before she and Noel goes to Sector Seven once they done with this.

At the Alucard Mansion, Rachel, Jubei and Hakumen were having tea at the balcony while looking over at Jin, who is sleeping on the couch.

"Hm, t'e times s'e change alot, d't it Rachel? Jubei asked, notice the change of shifts alot than before.

"Yeah, it is and that's what kept me worried as everything from the other shifts has been able to be predictable to this point but some changes have make sure none of them repeat the same as before." Rachel answer, worried about what's to come next.

"Yeah, and if it does anything to benifit the Beast, then the world will come to the end soon which is why i have to stop it when i got the opportunity." Hakumen says, wanting to kill his once brother quickly as possible for wolrd's safety from the Black Beast that's on Ragna.

"Oh, but has Ragna ever attempt to destroy the world or not and also, the changes not only help him, but also help us as well so we should appricate it while we're still can." Rachel says calmly, trying to calm the Susanoo unit while teasing him as well.

"Yeah, Haku. No matt'r how 'uch ya want to kill my apprentice, tha' doe'nt mean that ya can do it freely. He hasn't done anything harm at all b't did 'he reverse all along, s' ya don't have a r'ason at all, old 'riend." Jubei says, helping Rachel.

"So my brother is your apprentice all along, then?" A voice asked behind them as the three turn around to saw Jin stand there, much better than before.

"Y'h, and i'm proud of the kid to do a nice job of control it's power." Jubei answer, felt happy that his teaching didn't go to waste at all.

"How dare an dog like you to interrupt such an lovely view like this, Mr Hero?" Rachel says sarcasstic to Jin, who growls at this.

"But Regardless of whether the Beast will control it or not, that doesn't mean he's no longer a threat to the world at all. I'll have to bring him down or else, the world may fall into darkness once again by that man." Hakumen says, trying to reason his point.

"You're only allowled if that truly happens but until then, you can't do it at all. Just give up already, Mr Legendary Hero." Rachel says haughty, which makes Hakumen glares at her in anger.

"Yeah, kid able to hold it up pretty well until now. So there's no reason for ya to go after this chase at all, Hakumen." Jubei says to the knight before he turn to Jin and continue "That also goes to ya to, Jin. And also due to the fact that he's Ya brother, ya should give it a chance to recover your wounds from the bond of ya two from your time then."

"That's only if we have the chance to do it but given our condition as of right now, we can't." Jin says coldly at this before asked "When are we leaving this place, anyway?"

"When ya're in all perfect codition from your damage before hand, we'll be leaving and train then but when ya ready, come and see me, alright?" Jubei says, worried that the now former NOL Major gonna push himself to the limit way to far on this training.

"Hmp, fine. I'll rest more before i can go then so i'll call once i'm can be able to train then." Jin answer less coldly as he leave the balcony and went back to the couch to rest more before training can be begin.

"I'll be leaving now to train more for what's to come so see you later, Harlequin and Jubei." Hakumen says once he finish his tea as he stands up and leave the place, prepare for both Terumi's antic and the time where Ragna will destroy the world once and for all for the hope of the future.

"Man, that guy 'ure's creppy sometime like now, Rachel." Jubei asked once Hakumen is out of the ear.

"Hmp, yeah he does act like that but i just hope the shift will end peacefully with everyone lives nicely for it even though there's a chance i never get mine once this is over." Rachel answer with a hint of sadness on her voice for what's to come for the time.

At the outskirts of Kagusutchi City, Vulturon and Bifrost stand there, watching the view of the city and thinking back about their time here.

"It was the wildest experince we ever face there, Brother." Vulturon says, felt dizzy from just thinking about it.

"Yeah, it is and that's why we should be careful more about what to come's next or else, we will be like the Titanic ship and sink through an iceberg." Bifrost says coldly, which makes Vulturon shrughs at this in worry.

"I can see what make you think of that so what should me do then?" Vulturon asked, wonder how the hell fif his brother is thinking.

"We should split up from here then: I will go and train myself for the battle while you go back home and check our stuff before do that as well." Bifrost says seriously, want to keep his brother safe.

"Alright, see you later then." Vulturon says calmly as he leave first, letting Bifrost take one last look at the city before thought 'Hm, it's like the Model W Incident with Father Albert, but this time, much more insane than before. I wonder if it will end the same by the hero defeat the bad guys, which fomerly included us in it or will it end diffrently than before? Only time'll tell.'

Bifrost shake his head a bit, shrug his thoughts out a bit before leaving on the other side, train himself for the better. While Vulturon on the other hand is hopping back to his and his Brothers's home, checking if something has happend before hand while they were absence there as he hops by, a sparkle appear on his left eye, make him turn to see something sparkling over there as he went by and sees what it is, confuse of it's pressence in a place like this once he identified it.

"What the, how could something like this be here in the first place?" Vulturon ask himself in confusion as he looks around here to see if someone around here knows anything about this item and sighs once he saw no one near at all "Well then, it looks like i have no choice but to find the owner all by myself then. Let's hope it's worth it at the end, though."

Once he said that done, he picks it up and jumps back to his and his brothers's home, decide to track it down to find the owner once and for all to give it back for his and the owner's sake for the item itself.

At the NOL Base, A meeting between Terumi, Relius and The Impetator were set as they dicuss about what to do now at a round table.

"But how are we going to keep the plan the same if the Master Unit and The Takamaghara system no longer here any more?" Relius ask, wonder of what the Imperator said before last night.

"Even so, but that doesn't mean the other also dissapear as well." The Imperator answer calmly, which make Hazama one eyed her wierdly.

"The other thing, don't you mean the..." Hazama says, wonder if the thing she's talking about is the same thing or not.

"The Takemikazuchi Unit?" The Imperator interrupts, which Hazama nods at this before she answer "Yes, it's still around here in this shift and i'll use it to get what i want and continue my plan."

"But how are you going to summon it, it's hard to spot it like the other units as well?" Relius asked, curious of how the Imperator can do something like that.

"I'll send some of my men to go and find it, that's how." The Imperator answer.

"Your men? What are you talking about?" Hazama asked, wonder what she means by it.

"I able to recruit some men while the event is still going on while you guys didn't pay antention and they join us with full will on this." The Imperator answer calmly at this as the door behind them been knocked a few times before she continue "Speaking of right time, you guys can come here right now."

"Got it, Majesty. Let's go in, guys*sqeak*." A crickey voice says as the door opens to reveal a blue, purple and white bat with an monocle in his right eye, a giant yellow and purple minotaur with an axe with him and a guy with purple armor that looks like a warrior and carries a long weapon walking towards them as the bat continue "So, you called us here for what reason, your Majesty?".

"It's simple, Dizzy. I need you three to take care of some people for me." The Imperator answer, trying to not underestimated the bat, something he hate with a burning passion.

"Hmp, that's it? And we do it beacuse..." The Minotaur says, wonder why their new boss decide to order them just kill some people like that with his new voice that can speak fluently.

"Beacuse they have change our games alot and we can't let that happen anymore, Magnus." The Imperator answer angrily at the Minotaur, who just snort at this angrily at her face.

"Oh, that's it? Or there's something else can we do after this, Izanami." The man asked snarky, know his new boss hidden thoughts pretty well from his expirence on his father.

"Yes, once you guys fighting them done, i need you guys to find out where's the Takemikazuchi Unit is, Promethesus. And stop this, it's getting annoy to me." Izanami answer, frustated by this guy's snarky attidude.

"So we don't have to nessecary kill them, do we *Squeak*?" Dizzy asked, wonder what Izanami means by the first sentence in a polite manner.

"Yes, If they're able to beat you that is but if they don't, you guys can kill them." Izanami answer calmly.

"And judging by what you say, they're not pushovers at all, are they?" Magnus asked, curious about their target.

"Yes, they're not pushovers at all so if you guys been defeated by their hands, retreat immideatly then." Izanami answer.

"Okay, so who's our target then?" Promethesus asked, wonder who he had to kill then.

"Here's your targets and you guys can decide on who you will kill sepretaly if you want." Izanami answer as she tooks out 3 pictures of the Psuderoids from her Kimono and give it to the three, who checks out to think of kill who they want as the three turns back to the three people who are still sitting as she asked "Well, make your decision yet?"

"Yes, we have. And I'll go with the Gaxelle." Promethesus answer first, taking Buckfire's picture with him with an evil smile.

"I'll go with the Vulture then." Dizzy answer secondly, take Vulturon's picture with him with a curious look on the Vulture's feature.

"Then i'll guess i have to take care the dinosaur then." Magnus answer last and hesitantly took Bifrost's picture, fear of the thought of battle the last one, knowing he's weak to to what Bifrost's power is.

"Excellent, you'll guys can do it once you cross path with your target but until then, start searching for the Takemikazuchi Unit in the meantime. That's all i gotta say, goodbye everyone and leave once you guys are ready for this." Izanami says, want to make sure every detail is right.

"Got it! Goodbye, boss." The three says in undion as they turn and leave through the door, thought about what they just heard as Izanami turns back to Hazama and Relius once the door is closed behind them.

"Now that's two things been covered, but what about the rest?" Relius asked, interrest on the guys.

"We'll just let time control it and once we saw something that we want, we'll use every opportunity to get it and make sure we get it one way or another." Izanami answer.

"Aww, and here i thought that you want to have a little fun there, aww mighty Imperator." Terumi says in sarcasstisc.

"Enough of this, and that is all for today. We should get prepare now. Meeting is over, you can dismiss from here on out." Izanami says frusatatedly as she stands up and walks out from the door, preapre her plan for what's to come.

"Hmp, looks like things will be fun for us in this shift after all, Relius." Terumi says, snickers at this change.

"Maybe for you and her about this, but for me, it's a long process and hazzle to finally complete the world we destined for beacuse of this changes." Relius says angrily about this behavior by the snake.

"Ah well, you just don't like fun at all, party pooper." Terumi says in sarcastic sadness as he stands up and leave the place, leaving Relius to thought about what to come next as the three of Izanami's men just look at their target photos at their own rooms, wonder of what to expect next.

"Hmp, so Master Albert is Rebel against us instead of world changing, huh? Well, it'll fail like the last time sooner or later." Promethesus says in excited of this information and want to rip his father again without knowing that Albert isn't with the Pseuderoids at all in this shift.

"So you work to go up against us huh, Mattrex? *Sqeak* Well, looks like i have no choice but to destroy you once again along with your friend there as well even though you have the chance to work with us.*Sqeak*" Dizzy says in sadness of his friend's dissaproval of the deal without knowing how did Mattrex being here in this shift at all.

"Hmp, what an ambobination this creature is. Even though i have a type disadvantage to him, i will go all out until this dinosaur goes down with me for the Imperator to complete her plan once and for all." Magnus says in disgust while looking at Bifrost's picture as he puts it and his axe down and takes a nap on his bed, think about what will happen next as of right now and how the world can move from here on out.

A/N: And that will be the end of the first part of the bonus chapter before arc 3 can begin and this one is felt like a good begin for what's to come, i honestly felt calm while writting this. If you wonder why i give the NOL some more people with them, it's beacuse with an unfair advantage that i give the Rebels before hand, it'll be fair if i do the same thing for the other side as well so hope you guys understand this and if you guys wonder why i picked only Promethesus and not also included Pandora on this one, it's beacuse of the fact that She's able to rest from the PseudoSpace in piece while Promethesus doesn't so you may have guest here what happens next. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy it and see you another time!
