stage #3: Lakeside Port, 7th Hierarchical City of Kazamotsu RAGNA: Tao? Taoo! Yeah right, so much for "Leave people-searching to meow!" Where the hell are YOU supposed to be?! RAGNA: ... RAGNA: ... Heh, then again, somehow I'm not too worried about her. [Tager lands in front of Ragna] TAGER: Hm. I was wondering what could cause readings this high... Ragna the Bloodedge. RAGNA: Damn, Red Devil... again? What the hell brings you to Ikaruga?! TAGER: Does that really matter? Where I choose to be is none of your concern. RAGNA: Tch, whatever. Actually, since you're here... Do you happen to have any intel on Noel Vermillion? TAGER: Noel... Vermillion? RAGNA: ... I'll take that as a "yes". TAGER: Even if I did, what makes you think I'd tell you? RAGNA: Figures...
[RAGNA vs TAGER, RAGNA wins]
TAGER: [falls to his knees] That... that power! RAGNA: Goddamn, it's like... I'm hitting metal. ... Hey! Kokonoe!! I know you're listening. Why don't you show yourself!? KOKONOE: What took you so long, Ragna? I was expecting you much sooner. TAGER: Kokonoe... I'm sorry. RAGNA: I'll spare this guy's life. I owe you for my left arm, at least. So tell me, where is Noel right now? I've tracked her down to Ikaruga. KOKONOE: Well, we know she's in Ikaruga, too... Unfortunately, the reason why I've dispatched Tager is to find out exactly WHERE. I hate to tell you, but we know little more than you do. RAGNA: What?! KOKONOE: She was right next to me a few days ago, but the moment she heard the news about Tsubaki or whatever her name is, she ran away with Makoto. Idiots... RAGNA: Tsubaki... You mean Tsubaki Yayoi? KOKONOE: Oh, so you know her? RAGNA: The Izayoi... a sealed armament. Tch, this is gonna be a pain in the ass. I guess I'll take care of her first.
stage #6: Blockaded District, 5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido RAGNA: So that's the "Sealed Armament -- Izayoi" I've been hearing about? TSUBAKI: Ragna the Bloodedge... RAGNA: Which means you must be Tsubaki... Sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for Noel Vermillion. Know where I can find her? TSUBAKI: ... Ragna the Bloodedge, there is a warrant for your arrest from the Imperator herself. I suggest you surrender your weapon and turn yourself in at once! RAGNA: Order for my arrest? Surrender my weapon and turn myself in? What are you, nuts? Like there's a chance in hell I'd do that. You see, what I AM doing, is asking you about Noel's whereabouts. TSUBAKI: Ragna, it's all your fault that Noel, Makoto and even Jin is...! RAGNA: Huh?! TSUBAKI: Ragna the Bloodedge. My orders are to bring you in, dead or alive. If you do not obey, then you will leave me no choice but to... RAGNA: I don't mean to rain on your parade, but you don't stand a chance against me with that.
[RAGNA vs TSUBAKI, RAGNA wins]
TSUBAKI: Kuh... uh... RAGNA: I hate to say it, but I told ya so. TSUBAKI: Ragna the Bloodedge... RAGNA: A Murakumo Unit Prototype... Sorry, but I've been fighting those for a really long time. Kinda know how to deal with 'em. TSUBAKI: ... What are you waiting for? Finish me! RAGNA: I'm not going to kill you -- don't rush to your death, you idiot. You're Noel's friend, right? I have no idea what you're trying to pull, but bringing a Sealed Armament to the battlefield was a bad idea. TSUBAKI: Sh-Shut up! ... Whose fault do you think this... ah... RAGNA: [sigh] Never mind. Forgive me, but I'm going to have to destroy that weapon you're carrying. [Ragna aims to destroy the Izayoi, his attack is blocked by Hakumen] RAGNA: Tch! TSUBAKI: Huh?!
stage #7: Blockaded District, 5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido RAGNA: ... What are you trying to pull, you masked freak! HAKUMEN: Tsubaki. Stand down. TSUBAKI: L-Lord Hakumen...! Thank you very much... [runs away] HAKUMEN: Hmph. YOU trying to save someone? Surely you jest. RAGNA: Shut the hell up. Like you should be talking. HAKUMEN: But you see, with the Sealed Armament -- Izayoi, Tsubaki herself must be the one to lift its curse. RAGNA: Herself...!? What the hell are you smoking? She's completely under the "Mind Eater" curse. How the hell is she supposed to break free on her own?! HAKUMEN: ... Regardless, it is what must be done. RAGNA: Yeah, yeah, whatever... Now would you kindly get the hell out of my way?! I've got business to take care of. HAKUMEN: The Gates will not open in the absence of the Successor to the Azure. RAGNA: Bastard... HAKUMEN: So it is "Kushinada's Lynchpin", which you are after... No matter what your intent may be, I cannot grant you passage. RAGNA: Heh, didn't see that one coming...
[RAGNA vs HAKUMEN, no result]
RAGNA: Damn, you're tough... HAKUMEN: Heh heh heh... I see you've improved, Dark One. HAZAMA: All right now boys. How about we leave the cock fight at that, hm? HAKUMEN: Huh?! RAGNA: Terumi! HAZAMA: Phantom, would you kindly escort out unwanted guest off the stage? HAKUMEN: You son of a--! [he's teleported away]
stage #8: Grave Marker of Bases, 5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido RAGNA: What the hell are you tryin' to pull?! Where are you?! HAZAMA: Well, you just happened to show up at the right moment little Raggy; now you can help me out with my preparations. It's just a teensy bit, I swear. RAGNA: Like hell I will! HAZAMA: Whoa, calm down there, little buddy. I'm not the one you'll be fighting today. Can I get a drum roll for this much belated, heart-warming reunion?! [Lux Sanctus: Murakumo falls down] RAGNA: Wha-?! [Nu lands in front of Ragna] RAGNA: Is that you, Nu...? ν-No.13-: Rag... na... HAZAMA: Aww, isn't that just WONDERFUL! Now that all of the preparations are complete, let's begin out little test now, shall we? You see that "Sword of Izanagi" right there...? I'm just going to need you to... HAZAMA: Fight to the death...?! RAGNA: The... Sword of Izanagi...? ν-No.13-: Hahahahaha! Let's kill each other, Ragna! RAGNA: Tch!
[RAGNA vs ν-No.13-, no result]
ν-No.13-: More, Ragna...! Give me MORE! RAGNA: Kuh, guess I have no choice... RAGNA: Restriction #666 released... Dimensional interference field deployed... IDEA Engine linked... BlazBlue...!! [phenomena intervention starts] RAGNA: Goddammit, what now?! HAZAMA: All right Raggy, I think that should do it! Thank you for your generous contribution to the cause! HAHAHAHAHA! RAGNA: Don't tell me this is an...?! How can an intervention this big be possible!? HAZAMA: Sorry, but I guess it just is! I'm awesome. With the Imperator's power, Takamagahara's capacity to intervene is even greater than the Successor's. HAZAMA: Hey, 13... Looks like we've got a teensy more time than I thought. How about you two just... go at it for a little while longer, yeah? RAGNA: TERUMI! RAGNA: [is stabbed by Nu] Guaah! ν-No.13-: Don't look away now, Ragna. You should only have eyes for me... Hahahaha... AHAHAHAHAHA! RAGNA: ... Nu, you bitch. TERUMI: Heh heh heh heh... Let the party begin! TERUMI: Now, suffer... Struggle, and kill each other to your heart's content! TERUMI: Let me see you dance to that wretched shriek! TERUMI: The "Nemesis Horizon" is about to open... TERUMI: K'hahahaha HAHAHAHAHA! [the image of Master Unit flashes briefly, and the world is reset]
stage #3: Blockaded District, 5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido RAGNA: J-Jin... What the hell are you doing here!? JIN: Brother... RAGNA: Kuh... JIN: ... The cat told me everything... About you, Saya... The Nox Nyctores and the "Power of Order"... RAGNA: Master...? JIN: I now know what I am supposed to do in this world... And who the "enemy" I must defeat is. RAGNA: ... JIN: He said, "Don't avert your eyes from what your soul truly desires, because that's where the Power of Order dwells..." JIN: That's why, brother... I'm going to listen to exactly what my soul tells me, this... "Power of Order"... RAGNA: Jin... JIN: ... Heh heh heh heh... Hahahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHA! [swings Yukianesa at Ragna, who blocks it] RAGNA: Nuoah! Jin, you bastard! JIN: Hehehe, brother...! The Black Beast must be defeated... it must be killed! JIN: Now, let's kill each other, shall we...? BROTHER...
[JIN vs RAGNA, JIN wins]
RAGNA: Guah! Damn, this guy's tough... Jubei, what the hell did you teach him?! JIN: Brother... is that really all you've got? How are we supposed to have fun? RAGNA: I'm not having fun here, you piece of shit! JIN: Oh well, there are a few other things that need my attention... I guess today just wasn't the day I'm supposed to kill you. RAGNA: ... And I hope that day never comes. JIN: But brother, just remember this: I'm the one... who's going to kill you.

stage #8: Grave Marker of Bases, 5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido HAZAMA: Why, what a coinki-dink, little Raggy. RAGNA: Terumi... Where's Saya... the Imperator? HAZAMA: [shrugs] How the hell am I supposed to know that? They're probably... somewhere, I'm sure? What interests me more is... the fact that YOU'RE after the Lynchpin. RAGNA: That's got nothing to do with you. HAZAMA: Heh heh heh heh... well, "nothing" is a pretty strong word, I mean... HAZAMA: Even if you happen to find this Lynchpin, I already KILLED the living key needed to activate it ages ago! HAHAHA. RAGNA: The... living key...? HAZAMA: Get it? You understand now? No matter how hard you look around, there's no point! Isn't that a shame, little Raggy...? HAHAHAHAHAHA! HAZAMA: ... Now, if I'm not mistaken, I've got quite a debt to repay you... you know, the last time you went bat-shit crazy?! I'll make you cry until you beg for death...! RAGNA: Tch...
[HAZAMA vs RAGNA, HAZAMA wins]
TERUMI: [curbstomps Ragna] RAGNA: Guah...! TERUMI: Who said I'm done, huh!? H'ragh! Dance! Weep! Suffer! Let me hear you sing, you little bitch! The party's just getting started! [curbstomps him some more jfc] RAGNA: Guah... Gah! TERUMI: Hyahahahahahaha! KOKONOE: ... Tager, do it. TAGER: Roger that. [charges between Ragna and Terumi, holding a casket under his shoulder] TERUMI: Whoa that was close! How dare you get in my way, you damn feline! H-Huh...? W-What the─?! RAGNA: ... That's my line! M-My right arm isn't moving... and my right eye, too... I can't see! What the hell did you do to me, Kokonoe! TERUMI: This sensation... H-Hey, don't tell me you're... KOKONOE: Yuuki Terumi... There is nothing I won't do if it means bringing you down... I'm not picky when it comes to my options. [the casket opens, revealing a teenage girl] TERUMI: Whoa whoa whoa, you're kidding, right? I mean... who goes that far? Like seriously...! RAGNA: What... is... KOKONOE: I've told you before, right? Ragna the Bloodedge... KOKONOE: This is BlazBlue's greatest weakness... TERUMI: You've gotta be kidding me... there's no way I─ TERUMI: Phantom! You're listening, right? Get me out of here, now! Yesterday! RAGNA: A... woman...? TERUMI: What the hell are you doing here...! You don't belong here! CELICA: ... Ragna?
stage #7: Blockaded District, 5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido (Imaginary Spaces) RACHEL: I'm impressed you've made it this far... I suppose I should give you my compliments... μ-No.12-: ... Thank you... very much... RACHEL: Hm, you seem a little down... What's the matter? μ-No.12-: Ah... Well, no... I understand that this is the "Imagined Landscape" that you've created for me, Miss Rachel... it's just... μ-No.12-: I find it difficult to use this power on... well... anyone. RACHEL: Complaining already? I must say, I'm a little disappointed. Have you not already made up your mind you were going to fight? μ-No.12-: My desire to protect everyone has not changed, and I am grateful to you, Miss Rachel... But... I don't want to use this power if it's possible. RACHEL: You mean to tell me that was the extent of your conviction? μ-No.12-: ... I'm sorry. RACHEL: [sigh] I see... Perhaps we need to mix things up a little... as they say. RAGNA: [is dropped into the stage] Owww! Goddammit, where the hell am─ Noel?! μ-No.12-: Huh? Ragna...? RAGNA: What the hell are you wearing...?! You idiot... RACHEL: Just so you know, Noel... he's the "real" Ragna. μ-No.12-: Huh? Huuuuh!? R-Ragna... don't... Don't look at me! [covers herself] RAGNA: Aren't you supposed to be... Kusanagi?! Hey Rabbit, is this your doing?! I think you owe me an explanation! RACHEL: Oh, you and intelligence never seem to get along, now do they? [ahem] "Oh, Madam Rachel, could you please enlighten this dull mind of mine with what might be going on about me?" RAGNA: ... I'm seriously gonna make you cry. RACHEL: No matter. Dealing with idiots like you really isn't my forte. Why don't you try and fight Noel right here. Noel... you know what to do, right? RAGNA: Rabbit... what the hell are you─ μ-No.12-: Please, Ragna... u-um... I... μ-No.12-: After you saved me, I haven't had the chance to thank you properly, but... but... What I'm trying to say is... I want to become strong, like you, Ragna! μ-No.12-: So... could you please fight me? RAGNA: Okay, okay, I get it guys. I just have to fight you, right? Is that what you want? So please, just stop looking at me with those watery puppy-dog eyes, yeah? μ-No.12-: Th-Thank you very much!
[μ-No.12- vs RAGNA, no result]
μ-No.12-: [covers herself again] U-Um... please don't stare at me so much... RAGNA: Huh? O-Oh, right... Sorry about that. Hey wait a sec... how was I supposed to fight you with my eyes shut!? Hey Rabbit, I fought her. You happy? Now about that explanation...! Actually, just let me go home! RACHEL: ... This is really starting to irritate me... RAGNA: Say what?! RACHEL: Never mind... Let's see, there really wasn't any purpose to this battle... I just wanted to see Noel's determination, that's all. The reason I summoned you? Well... it seemed like fun... That's all, really. μ-No.12-: Wh-Whaa...? RAGNA: ... What are you all mad about? Oh, that's right. Noel... I was actually looking for you─ [phenomena intervention starts] μ-No.12-: Eek! RACHEL: Phenomena intervention?
stage #6: Blockaded District, 5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido RAGNA: Whoa, if it isn't the old geezer. VALKENHAYN: Punk... What the hell are you doing here? VALKENHAYN: Isn't there something you should be doing...? Why the hell are you wasting time in a place like this? RAGNA: ... Ugh, do you have to poke fun at everything I do!? What are you, my guardian or something? RAGNA: Or what, you wanna dance a little, old fart? That ought to keep you off my nerves, for a while at least... VALKENHAYN: ... RAGNA: Yeah, nice try playing dumb! If you're not gonna start, then don't mind if I do...! VALKENHAYN: Sheesh... You leave me no choice.
[VALKENHAYN vs RAGNA, no result]
RAGNA: ... Ugh, do you have to poke fun at everything I do!? What are you, my guardian or something? VALKENHAYN: ... As I suspected. RAGNA: Hey...? Old fart? VALKENHAYN: ... Hmph, punk. Did you finally realize, too? RAGNA: What the...? Huh? This sensation... did we just-? VALKENHAYN: Someone has intervened upon us. RAGNA: What the hell's going on?! VALKENHAYN: It would seem that someone really wants the two of us to fight.
stage #10: Grave Marker of Bases, 5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido AZRAEL: You must be Ragna the Bloodedge. RAGNA: If I told you I wasn't... would you believe me? AZRAEL: ... Why were you just watching? RAGNA: I was curious to see how far that idiot would go. In the end, I suppose it was worth it to watch him get beaten up, hah. AZRAEL: Funny, huh...? Still, that killing intent I felt earlier... That was not something to direct at a human. RAGNA: Oh yeah? Well... it's good thing you'd not exactly what we'd call "human", isn't it? AZRAEL: Never thought I'd hear the Grim Reaper himself say such harsh words. No matter. First things first... I'm afraid this can't wait. RAGNA: Huh? AZRAEL: [clears throat] Hand over your grimoire if you don't wanna meet your maker today. RAGNA: Wait, are you serious? That's it? Just like that? And now I'm supposed to go, "Oh sure, please take it off my hands for me"? Yeah, right! AZRAEL: I see... then I must take it by force. Heh heh heh... RAGNA: Tch. You could've saved us a bunch of time if you knew this was gonna happen. AZRAEL: Don't worry, just a little politics on my end. Now, Grim Reaper... I can't wait to see what you taste like. My fangs are thirsty. RAGNA: Ew... you're into that sort of stuff? You berserker... I've actually been a little on-edge myself. So don't blame me if you don't walk away from this alive! AZRAEL: That's what I'm talking about, Grim Reaper! I cannot wait to sink my fangs into your flesh.
[AZREAEL vs RAGNA, no result]
RAGNA: Guah, what the fu─ That power... are you even human?! AZRAEL: Hahahahaha, you enjoying yourself yet, Grim Reaper!? Now get up... I know this is not the extent of your strength! RAGNA: Don't get too cocky, you damn monster! Hmph... I can't believe I'm wasting this on you. RAGNA: Restriction 666 released! Dimenstional interference field deployed! AZRAEL: That's right, release it... Deploy it, do whatever it is you do! Otherwise, I can't unleash MY true power, either. RAGNA: Huh? AZRAEL: Enchant Dragunov... level 2, released. RAGNA: Gain Art? RAGNA: No, this is an Overdrive... Shit, it's like you're a completely different person. AZRAEL: I'm afraid you're wrong on both accounts, Reaper. The Dragunov keeps my power contained... like a limiter. RAGNA: ... A limiter? RAGNA: You mean to tell me you've been holding back this whole time? AZRAEL: Obviously. If I unleashed all my powers from the get-go, everything around me tends to die, and that wouldn't be too much... fun. RAGNA: ... You mean you're STILL holding back!? AZRAEL: Hm? Yeah, well... It still is only level 2 after all. But you know, Grim Reaper... it's been a while since I've had to use this technique. AZRAEL: You have no idea how happy I am. I must confess, you truly live up to your nickname! AZRAEL: But don't sweat the details... I'm still craving your blood!! RAGNA: You damn hunk of muscle... don't you dare look down on me! You're gonna be dead meat! RAGNA: IDEA engine linked! BlazBlue, activate! AZRAEL: Excellent! So that is the BlazBlue!? AZRAEL: I shall sink my fangs into it until I can feast no more!
