BlazBlue Alter Memory (ブレイブルー オルターメモリー)

"Mr. Kitten, Mr. Kitten, why are your whiskers so long? Meow, meow."

Hmm, maybe "mya-meow" would be better...

Oh, no!

No way!

Wait!

Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.

He didn't see it, right?

He didn't read it, right?

No!

Why can't you hear

the heartbeat of this world?

Can, and audible...

Can it believe the future

We nurture an inexperienced smile

as we are thrown around

Does not give up

I'd like to know the truth

The night god toys with our suffering

like a branding iron

I won't hold back, won't doubt

If you are innocent after purification,

then let your soul strike out at the demons

Salvation won't lie in fighting

What power is this

You can see it

With eyes of steel we keep our emotions in check

Until our life ends,

commence your awakening

Your hands so clean, your blue shiny lights

May they reach the sky

Rebel 4: Probabilistic Events

Rebel 4: Probabilistic Events

Good grief, you sure gave me a lot of trouble there, Hakumen.

I believe I told you not to get in my way.

I'm going to leave you like that for a while.

And I believe I told you that I would not obey you.

Oh-ho, still able to move even with all that...

I suppose the credit goes to your Power of Order.

But it's no use.

This barrier is self-repairing.

This is a grandiose device just to hold me, bakeneko.

I'd love to hurtle you to the bottom of the Boundary once again, but that body of yours...

is the Susano'o Unit I need.

Your manner of speech strongly resembles that of your mother.

Blood will always tell.

Shut up.

It is good of you to come.

It has been a long time... has it?

Yes. In terms of time as perceived by you, it has been 19,792 hours, 41 minutes, and 52 seconds.

For us, it's been 283,875 hours, 18 minutes, and 24 seconds.

Why did you unleash the Tsukuyomi Unit?

If you hadn't stopped it, all would've been reduced to ashes

and the irregularity would've been dealt with at the same time.

We request your reason for unleashing it.

I am not obligated to give you an answer.

Your events are your own.

We acknowledge your refusal to answer.

You're the ones who released Yuuki Terumi from his cage in the Boundary, aren't you?

Yes.

The process leading to the Day of Ruin has already been set in motion.

Don't tell me you all intend to make naught of the world?

No.

We, the Takama-ga-hara, only care that the world be correct.

With the appearance of the Azure Successor,

the world has gone down the path of the probabilistic Continuum Shift event.

We will control the event distortions that are likely to occur in the future...

...and target irregularities for elimination.

Do you think you've become gods?

No.

The Takama-ga-hara was created by man.

We are creations and cannot become gods.

And the Master Unit is no exception.

With the way the Master Unit introduces distortions to the world, its existence is unnecessary.

You plan to use Terumi to that end?

Is he someone you are capable of handling, I wonder?

He is under our control.

There is no measurable risk to him.

Should the occasion call for it, we will merely reinitialize him.

Rachel Alucard, you are close to our side.

Do you have any interest in coming back?

A stupid question to ask.

Observed.

We determine that answer to mean that you have no intention of returning to us.

That choice is illogical.

Your are the ones who see everything and you are the most blind.

Sh-Shit!

Wanna play, meow.

But we'll get scolded again, meow.

Good Guy, time to eat, meow!

H-Hey, this had better be edible...

Kaka cooking is very tasty and full of nutritious goodness, meow!

Eat lots, so you can get well quickly, meow!

Hot, hot, ho—

Oh! Surprisingly it's pretty good.

Second Lieutenant Noel Vermillion.

Y-Yes!

My apologies!

I was just thinking about something.

Please forgive me.

You're the same as ever, Noelly.

You seriously didn't realize who it was?

It's me, Noelly.

M-Makoto?!

Makoto! Makoto!

This fluffy tail!

No doubt about it, it's Makoto!

And without my tail you couldn't tell?!

It sounds like you've run into all kinds of trouble.

Yeah.

I didn't know what I should do on my own...

I'm really glad I ran into you, Makoto.

By the way, Noel, were you okay when that thing happened?

Thing?

You know, when the sky turned all bright and it shook a lot.

Th-That shaking? Turned bright?

You didn't see it?

Oh, no, because I was on a lower level.

All of Kagutsuchi was in an uproar.

Things are still chaotic at the top, too, and there's no reliable information,

but the rumors are that it might've been the Takemikazuchi.

The Takemikazuchi?

An Archenemy that played a part in the Dark War.

It was too powerful, so it's said that it was sealed away somewhe—

Wait, weren't you the one who told me that?

It was probably Tsubaki and not me.

I think it was when we were studying for our first test since school started.

Let's see...

In order for mankind to be able to fight the Black Beast,

they fused magic with science and that's what we call "ars magus"...

Ugh, I don't know any of this...

Was the paper you wrote on ars magus, Tsubaki?

Yes, bit by bit when I had time.

Hey, Noel, what's this Takemikazuchi that shows up here?

Uh, um...

It's the most famous Archenemy.

It was put to use against the Black Beast during the Dark War, too.

But it was too powerful and it's said that it was sealed away somewhere.

Archenemies are those things, right?

Made for fighting the Black Beast?

Yes, they were created by the Great Mage Nine, one of the Six Heroes.

Powerful event weapons.

The Six Heroes used them to emerge victorious against the Black Beast.

That's common knowledge that even kids in elementary school know.

That may be true for you, Tsubaki, but I was specially admitted for my athletic abilities.

That's why I'm giving you special tutelage here, right?

Yeah, yeah.

We used to study at the Military Academy's library a lot, didn't we?

Yeah.

Oh, that's right!

That time, the Major— Upperclassman Kisaragi came by...

That reminds me, Noel, you chose clerical work as your preferred post?

You did?

Y-Yeah.

Even though you have such a high aptitude for ars magus?

But I am...

S-Student Council President!

Brother Jin!

Hey, Tsubaki. Studying with everyone?

Y-Yes!

With my roommates.

Brother? Brother Jin?

O-Oh, sorry.

Is something the matter?

No.

I'll be excusing myself now.

Okay.

I wonder what's bothering him.
