Part 66: True End 05

Wait! You can't go there! Don't go any further!





Give me your hand! Hurry!



Agh!
Ah!



*pant* *pant* *pant* *pant*
...
What do you think you're doing!? How can you do such a thing!? Please don't scare me like that! I was really worried about you! Seriously, how can you scare me like that!? I... I... Geez... Wa--Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
H-Hey... What're you doing?



Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Will you cut it out!?
...Stupid.
I mean...I guess I'm...sorry. My bad...though I don't quite understand...
Waaaaaaaaaaah!



What the hell is going on here...?
Zz...
She cried herself to sleep...what am I supposed to do now...?



You are always asleep when we meet. Rather rude, if you ask me.
Hey, rabbit. Who's this?
The new eye.
"Eye"? The hell's that? Arrrgh! I don't know what the hell you're talking about! Can you explain it to me in a way that I can understand!?
You an everyone else, Ragna.
...The one who inherits the true Azure. Not that foolish imitation you have now.
What?
It won't be long now... The world will change. A great deal will happen that is beyond my understanding. Hehe... I cannot say I enjoy the prospect, but something about it excites me.
There is nothing exciting about it... You're not making any sense...
Ah, but before the world changes... Something else will.
You gotta fill me in here!


And instead Rachel just leaves. Welp.

H-Hey! Wait a minute! What the hell...? So this power's just an "imitation"?
Mmm...
What's with her? Why does she look so happy? But more importantly, their resemblance is uncanny...



...
Princess, what are you trying to do?
The view is nice, though...
Nago, Gii. A moment please.
Princess?
Quickly!
A-As you wish!
As you wish!



I did not forsee that he would push me to this extreme... Hehe...oh Ragna... I do so want to know what happens next.
Come to me. You want to play, don't you? Nox Nyctores Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi...

Whoa, what the hell!?
Hm...ung...?
Oh... You awake now?
Huh? Where am I? Who...are you?



You! You're Ragna the Bloodedge! What do you think you're doing here!? You can't run or hide from me! You're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent!
You're not making any sense. Just calm down for a second.
Hahahahahaha!
!?
!?



Hahahahahaha! I've been waiting for this moment! Look at me...look at me, Noel Vermillion!




H-Hazama!?
No--Noel! Do not look at that man!
Eh? Who are you?



Heeheehahahaha!


Imagine a world where Michael Jackson could have gone super saiyan. Getting struck by a smooth criminal would deal 5000+ damage.

Hahahahahaha! You recognized me, didn't you!?
Hey, shitty vampire! Who's laughing now!?



...You bastard!

Rachel rushes forward to attack and Ragna moves to join her, but the man is just too fast.



Hey now, that was close. What the hell? That's not fair, double-teaming me like that. It's not a very grown-up thing to do. No no no no no!
Hazama is the best character, by the way.
Well, but if you insist, I might reconsider, you know. I might be able to get a good warm-up out of it.
Damn you...
Long time, no see, Ragna the Bloodedge. How's your right arm holding up? ...Oops. My bad. It was me who chopped that off, wasn't it? So, how is it? Doesn't that fake arm come in handy? Do you think it's pretty good for an imitation?
Interesting note. Terumi was really behind Jin freaking out and going crazy.
Shut up, you son of a bitch!
Ragna! Stop!
Don't interrupt me, rabbit!
I am loathe to admit it, but the situation has changed. You haven't a chance, Ragna.



Yeah, yeah, what she said! I think that dumb vampire right there is the only one who can keep up with me now. A little bitch like you wouldn't be able to satify me. Hm? Did I misuse the phrase? Oh, well. Whatever. Keeheeheehee!
...Bastard! You wanna try me!? Bring it on, you son of a bitch!
That's a little too cocky for a puppy like you... If you keep yelping at me, I'll have to seriously kill you.



Oh? And just who is being cocksure now...little boy.
Just kidding! Damn, you're scary, lady. But seriously, you're lucky, Ragna. You have such a sweet guardian with you!
What did you say, you son of a bitch!?

I told you to stop, Ragna!
Well, I'm in a really good mood today, so I'll just let the little puppy go. It'd be tough even for me to handle three scary people like you. Oops, it's more like two people and a dog, huh? Hahahahahahaha! Let's do this again sometime, stupid vampire. Say hello to the old man for me.



Hey, wait the hell up!



What's with him? What's going on? What was that all about?
Damn it! ...Hey, are you OK? Umm, Noel, was it? Hey! Get a grip! Hey, Noel!
Dark...Susano'o...



...Kokonoe, you are watching this, aren't you?
Yeah... I've been waiting for this... I swear, I'm gonna take that son of a bitch out myself. No matter what it takes!





Hello. First Lieutenant Tsubaki Yayoi reporting, sir. You wanted to see me?
Oh, hello. I'm Hazama from the intelligence department. It's nice to meet you. You're that Yayoi family that I keep hearing about. Thanks for coming all the way from there.
...Ah, uh...
Oh, by the way, hierarchically speaking, I'm technically a captain. But, the intelligence department isn't bound by hierarchy, so please relax.
O-Oh... My apologies, captain.
I just asked you to relax... Oh, well. The reason that I called upon you, First Lieutenant, is because I'd like to put you in charge of a...classified mission.
What sort of a mission would require the intelligence department to get involved, sir?
O--Ohhh, I know what you're trying to get at. But don't worry. I have a full grasp of the character of your squad, First Lieutenant. Besides, this is a direct order from the main headquarters. Oh, would you like some proof of that? Here is a signature from the Imperator.
My apologies. I didn't mean to pry.
Oh no, please don't worry about it. Noe, let me continue. The details of the mission will be given verbally. Since it's a classified mission, it'd be inconvenient to leave any record of it. Besides, the mission description is simple enough for you to memorize it on the spot.
Yes, sir.
Uh, all right, here it comes. Ahem. First Lieutenant Yayoi Tsubaki. I'd like to assign you to assassinate Major Jin Kisaragi and Lieutenant Noel Vermillion.
