AD2200/01/07 CONTINUUM SHIFT

stage #4: Monorail
RAGNA: ! Why the hell are -you- here?!
Λ-No.11-: ...
KOKONOE: ... Are you... Ragna the Bloodedge?
RAGNA: Oh man, not this shit again! Get outta my head, lady! Wh-What the hell are you?!
KOKONOE: ... I'm Kokonoe. Just a normal old scientist for Sector Seven.
RAGNA: Sector Seven...? Yeah, I've heard you guys saying you're gonna destroy the Armagus. Looks like you don't have a problem usin' it to bend space 'n time... wait. Who's that?!
KOKONOE: What, you think I've got time to waste explaining this to an idiot like you? I wish. I'm just here to have a look at that Armagus of yours... Give you a little warm-up.
RAGNA: What!?

[RAGNA vs Λ-No.11-, RAGNA wins]

KOKONOE: Hmph... Didn't think you'd give me this much trouble... Needs a few adjustments, I suppose. Whatever. I got some data on the Grimoire to play with. Lambda! C'mon!
Λ-No.11-: ... Affirmative. [is teleported away]
RAGNA: Temporal displacement!? Aw shit, you're a witch! Hey, Kokonoe! What the hell are you thinking!? Hey! I'm not done talking─ Goddammit...

stage #8: Hanging Garderns
RACHEL: [teleports in front of Ragna] Why hello, Ragna. As ever, your face is a reminder of nature's cruel sense of humor.
RAGNA: ... Hey, rabbit. What's the deal with that Kokonoe chick? And what the hell is she planning to do with the Murakumo Unit?
RACHEL: I imagine your guess is as good as mine. I do my best to remain uninvolved in that woman's affairs.
RAGNA: Tch. Well, what about that asshole, Terumi!? ... What's the prick calling himself now? Hazama?
RACHEL: My, but you are full of questions today, Ragna. Have your nightmares returned?
RAGNA: ... Why'd you give me back the Azure Grimoire?
RACHEL: ... Because you were pathetic that I could scarcely bring myself to look at you.
RAGNA: Stop changing the subject!
RACHEL: Ragna... I am going to give you a rare piece of advice. You must not fight Terumi. You will not win. There is a... reason the Azure will fail if you try.
RAGNA: A "reason"!? Don't gimme that shit! He cut off my goddamn arm! And Jin and Saya─ I'm not gonna waste any more time talking to you! Get outta my way!
RACHEL: ... Or you will force me aside, I assume? Very well. Let us see if you can.

[RAGNA vs RACHEL, RAGNA wins]

RACHEL: Slightly better than I anticipated... Is is possible you have defied expectations and matured?
RAGNA: You bitch!
RACHEL: A final warning, Ragna, before I bid you farewell. You would do well to find Noel. Terumi is doubtless after her, the rightful successor of the Azure.
RAGNA: Noel... Then... she really...?
RACHEL: Whatever you are thinking is likely not far from the truth. Amaterasu lies dormant, somewhere within the Boundary. Only she knows where to find it...

stage #9: Closed world -the Gate-
RAGNA: [enters the scene with HELL'S FANG, blocked by Jin]
RAGNA: Jin! Son of a bitch! You're the last thing I need!
JIN: Brother...!
RAGNA: Get outta my way!
JIN: The Dark One... the Beast... It is about to be born again... I know it. I can feel it! Yukianesa feels it too, but... something... something is different...!
RAGNA: Ah shit. So that's what the bastard's after! Hey, where's Noel... Noel Vermillion!?
JIN: ... Noel Vermillion? That woman...? No brother, you can't! I have to kill her! Me! Not you!
RAGNA: Kill!? What the hell are you two doing?!
JIN: Ah, it seems you misunderstand, brother... He and I... We're not allies. Not now, not ever. I'm here of my own free will. His presence is a coincidence.
RAGNA: Coincidence my ass! How the hell did he get here if you didn't call him with Yukianesa?!
JIN: I will destroy the Dark One... Please brother, stand aside. You could never defeat it. That is why this is my task. Haha... Hahaha! You needn't worry. I can kill you later!

[RAGNA vs JIN, RAGNA wins]

JIN: Ugh... Brother, no! It can't be you! [falls over]
RAGNA: I dunno what the hell is going on in that mind of yours, Jin, but I decide my own fate. I don't need you freakin' out over everything I do...
JIN: ... Guh, Brother...
RAGNA: I won't run or hide. You wanna settle our score, you just come and find me. Don't worry. I'll be waiting.

stage #10: Adventus
HAZAMA: [bows] Decided to show up, eh...?
RAGNA: You son of a bitch... Where's Noel?
HAZAMA: "Where"...? Oh, I think you already know. I gotta say... the Azure Grimoire is quite a thing... Smelting without a Cauldron! And I've got YOU to thank, Ragna the Bloodedge!
RAGNA: Don't tell me... that's...? No! Stop that right now!
HAZAMA: Oh for heaven's sake. Can't you just shut up? Hmm? You better watch that attitude of yours, mister. It's liable to earn you a knife in the gut from yours truly!
RAGNA: I don't think so, asshole! You're the one who's gonna eat it! Restriction 666 released! Dimensional interference field deployed!
HAZAMA: Ahahahaha! BlazBlue? That's quite a toy you got there, kiddo. How'd you do that...? Sounded like... Restriction 666 released! Dimensional interference field deployed!
RAGNA: Wh-What!? H-How did you... No way!
HAZAMA: Ehehehehe! Time for a taste of REAL power, boy!
HAZAMA: Code: S.O.L. BlazBlue, activate!
RAGNA: Wha─ What the hell is going on!?
HAZAMA: Hyahahah! What's this? You don't get it? Oh, this is rich! Come on, give it a shot! Work those brain cells! Nothing? Ahahahaha! THIS is why you can't beat me, Rags!
HAZAMA: Write this down, 'cause there's gonna be a test later. I'M the one who created the Azure Grimoire!

[RAGNA vs HAZAMA, RAGNA loses]

TERUMI: Well, thanks for the entertainment... Pretty good warm-up there.
RAGNA: Ugh... you son of a bitch... Are you trying to resurrect the Black Beast?
TERUMI: The Black Beast? What the hell would I want with that failed experiment?
RAGNA: Failed!?
TERUMI: Yeah, a huge failure. Real pain in the ass to keep the Cauldron under control.
TERUMI: But hey, we learned all sorts of shit in the process, so, you know...
RAGNA: ... The... Cauldron?
TERUMI: Yeah, the Cauldron. What, did I mumble? The Cauldron's the Grimoire's original form. It gathers souls to smelt the sword inside its body.
TERUMI: That was our little pet─ the Beast.
RAGNA: Wha─!?
TERUMI: C'mon, you gonna pay attention or not?
TERUMI: The Murakumo Unit is incomplete. It needs the power of the Grimoire.
TERUMI: The 13th sample wouldn't shut up about it, remember?
TERUMI: But this one... this one's different. This thing embodies the -true- Azure!
TERUMI: Now... Murakumo... activate...!
[the Cauldron opens]
TERUMI: This whole world is nothing but lies! LIES!
TERUMI: Lemme show you what I like to call the truth! The truth called "despair"!
TERUMI: In the name of Susano'o, I command you! Murakumo, AWAKEN!
TERUMI: Behold the sword of the god-slayer, KUSANAGI!
TERUMI: Let all lies fall before your divine blade!
[Mu-12 descends from the Cauldron]
TERUMI: Gaahahahaha! Finally, I've got the true successor to the Azure! Try and stop me NOW, Master Unit Amaterasu!

AD2200/01/07 Resume

stage #10: Altair
JIN: You're not going anywhere, Brother.
RAGNA: Outta my way, Jin. Whether I go through you or past you is your choice.
JIN: [falls to his knees, face in hands] No! Not again... Stop giving me orders, Yukianesa!
JIN: [the area begins to freeze over] Gugh... ugh, argh... Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up! SHUT UP!
RAGNA: Jin, you...
JIN: [the ice disappears and Jin stands up] Ha... haha... I beat it! Brother! At last! That damn Order that's been crowding my head for so long! Gone! Ah ha! Ah ha ha ha ha!
RAGNA: The Power of Order? Then... then you're resistant! That son of a bitch... He knew that, and he chose yo use you...!
JIN: Ahahaha! Brother, why does that even matter!? Yukianesa and the Power of Order were only the beginning! All that is in the past now!
JIN: You and I are the only ones who exist right now, brother! I... I can finally kill you! My choice! Mine! Finally... FINALLY we can have some fun!
RAGNA: ... Oh man, you really lost it this time, idiot! Wake up!

[JIN vs RAGNA, JIN wins]

RAGNA: [falls to his knees] Ugh...!
JIN: Oh, does it hurt? Ha! What am I saying!? Of course it does! Don't worry, brother... I'll put you out of your misery, right NOW!
[Ragna is attacked from behind; sounds of someone clapping their hands]
HAZAMA: Wow guys, you have got some serious Cain and Abel shit here!
HAZAMA: Think you've worked it out of your system yet, Major Kisaragi?
JIN: B-Brother...!
RAGNA: Dammit... Terumi...!
HAZAMA: Oh, calm down. I made sure to miss all your really important bits. Besides it's not like good old Ragna'll die that easy. He's a tough one!
JIN: ... You... bastard!
HAZAMA: Wh-Wh-Whoa there! I saved the best seats in the house for you two...
HAZAMA: The real show's about to start.
HAZAMA: If you start acting up, I'm gonna have to kick you out.
JIN: Captain Hazama... What are you plotting?
HAZAMA: So many wannabes up on the stage these days... Made my job real tough, you know.
HAZAMA: I just want to make sure I'm 100% crystal-clear on this...
HAZAMA: You guys are the audience. You ain't gonna set foot on this stage, no matter how hard you try.
HAZAMA: Yeah, not even as extras...
JIN: What?
HAZAMA: And it gives me great pleasure to introduce our leading actress!
JIN: !?
HAZAMA: Everyone please give a warm welcome to Miss Noel Vermillion!
[Noel appears behind Hazama]
JIN: Noel... Vermillion...?
HAZAMA: Ladies and gentlemen! Our stage is set! Let the ultimate show BEGIN!

stage #9: Closed world -the Gate-
RAGNA: Wha─ How...!? No, I saw you! You fell into the Cauldron!
Λ-No.11-: ...
KOKONOE: ... Are you Ragna the Bloodedge?
RAGNA: Shit, not you again! Get outta my mind, lady! Who the hell are you!?
KOKONOE: ... I'm Kokonoe, a scientist with Sector Seven. This is a remnant of the anti-Sankishin tests. A prime-field boundary contact unit─ number 11, actually. I salvaged it.
RAGNA: Number 11!? What the hell are you thinking!?
KOKONOE: Ugh... Like you could even understand... Look, you've done your bit already, so get the hell out of my way!
RAGNA: What!?
KOKONOE: Well, you know, this might be a good warm-up... Lambda... destroy him.
Λ-No.11-: ... Executing command.

[Λ-No.11- vs RAGNA, Λ-No.11- wins]

RAGNA: [falls to his knees] Guah! Damn... you...
Λ-No.11-: ...
KOKONOE: What's the matter? Hurry up and finish him off!
Λ-No.11-: ...
KOKONOE: Goddammit, Lambda, what the hell's your problem!? Gah... Did you break down? Hey! Lambda!
Λ-No.11-: ... No.
RAGNA: ...?
Λ-No.11-: ... No... Don't... No... Ragna...!
KOKONOE: ... ν-13's memories!? No way! That's... that's not even physically possible!
RAGNA: You...!

RAGNA: Ngh! Wh-What the─!?
Λ-No.11-: Something... is above.
RAGNA: Hey, wait! ... Nu!

stage #10: Adventus
RAGNA: [enters the stage with CARNAGE SCISSORS, Hazama dodges]
HAZAMA: Hey there, kid, you're gonna hurt someone... Is that some kind of family thing? Jumping out at people and scaring the shit out of them?
RAGNA: Noel... Where the hell's Noel Vermillion?!
HAZAMA: "Where"...? Oh, I think you already know. I gotta say, the Azure Grimoire is quite a thing... Smelting without a Cauldron! Incredible!
HAZAMA: And now the life-link's working perfect too. I couldn't have done it without you, Mister Ragna the Bloodedge.
RAGNA: Oh shit... don't tell me... that's Noel...? No! Stop! Stop, you son of a bitch!
HAZAMA: Oh for heaven's sake. Can't you just shut up? Hmm? You better watch that attitude of yours, mister. It's liable to earn you a knife in the gut from yours truly!
RAGNA: I don't think so, asshole! You're the one who's gonna eat it! Restriction 666 released! Dimensional interference field deployed!
