Stage IX: Jin Kisaragi

Mu-12: Detecting Nox-Nyctores-class armament... "Mucro Algesco: Yukianesa." Jin: Noel...Vermillion? Mu-12: ... Jin: Answer me, damn you! Are you Noel Vermillion?! Mu-12: ...Target's combat abilities estimated to be SS-tier. Jin: A Contingency Medium... So in the end, you were nothing but a mindless doll! You useless piece of subhuman garbage! Mu-12: Detecting rising hostility levels from target... Target's threat level now at maximum. Now switching to Battle Mode. Jin: Come on! It's time to put an end to your pathetic existence. Mu-12: The bringer of balance...The power of order...my...enemy! <Mu-12 Victory> Jin: Gah... To be defeated...by...you...! Hazama: Incredible! Nothing less from Kusanagi, I suppose... Or did our friendly neighborhood major just suck too much ass? So much for the power of order, I guess. Mu-12: Target still showing signs of life. Redeploying petals. Hazama: Whoa there Bessy, let's calm down, okay? No need to get yourself all bloody. I might need this dashing fellow for, ah, something else. Besides... Terumi: You're supposed to be kicking the crap out of Amaterasu right now, so what the hell are you doing here?! Mu-12: Understood. Resuming search for Amaterasu.

Stage X: Hakumen

Mu-12: ...Threat levels now at maximum... Hakumen: You have come, then. Mu-12: Analyzing target... Target identified as Sankishin: Susano'o Unit. Hakumen: Child of the Azure. If you can hear my voice, then heed my words... Do you hate this world? Mu-12: Petals deployed... Now switching to Battle Mode. Hakumen: Answer me, Child of the Azure! Mu-12: ...Hate...hate hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE! Annihilate...everything! Everything in this world! Then, I too...will disappear... Hakumen: Hmm. Then you do. Unfortunate. I had hoped you might quell the Azure, but it seems my hopes were misplaced... No matter. It falls to me to see that you are banished from this world. Mu-12: I am Kusanagi...the blade that will bring destruction to all! Hakumen: I am the white void. I shall cleanse this world and return all to nothing. I am Hakumen! The end has come! <Mu-12 Victory> Mu-12: Damage levels...negligible. Resuming attack. Hakumen: Hngh. Impressive, but...what is this power I sense...!? Terumi: Ahahahahahahaha! Oh, Hakumen sweetheart, it looks like you're just having a grand old time! Hakumen: Terumi!? Terumi: Aaaaand scene! Now be a dear, and move along, OK? I've got this stage booked for another act right away. ...No? All right. My good Phantom, if you would... Hakumen: Intervention...? No...no! Magic?! Terumi: Toodles! Oh, just FYI, I took a look-see at all your possiblities, so you can struggle as much as you like, but it's not going to do you any good, I'm afraid... Hakumen: Terumi, you fiend! Terumi: It's a damn shame, dear Hakumen, but it appears you just didn't have the chutzpah to stop the storm that's coming.

Let's get this party started, Ragna the Bloodedge! Show me the power that's gonna change this old world - your continuum shift! Terumi: Ahahahahahahahahahah!

Chrono Phantasma

The Successor of the true Azure and the awakened form of Noel. The ultimate Boundary Interface Prime Field Device. She was the "Sword of the Godslayer Kusanagi," the only one able to destroy the Master Unit that exists in the Boundary, but with the help of Ragna, Noel was able to retain her self-identity. So, to save her best friend, she asks Rachel to teach her how to control this power.

Stage 7: Ragna the Bloodedge

Rachel: I'm impressed you've made it this far... I suppose I should give you my compliments... Mu: ...Thank you...very much... Rachel: Hm, you seem a little down... What's the matter? Mu: Ah... Well, no... I understand that this is the "Imagined Landscape" that you've created for me, Miss Rachel...it's just... 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? Mu: 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? Mu: ...I'm sorry. Rachel: *Sigh* I see... Perhaps we need to mix things up a little...as they say. Ragna: Owww! Goddammit, where the hell am– Noel?! Mu: Huh? Ragna...? Ragna: What the hell are you wearing...?! You idiot... Rachel: Just so you know, Noel...he's the "real" Ragna. Mu: Huh? Huuuuh!? R-Ragna...don't... Don't look at me! 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– Mu: Please, Ragna...u-um...I... 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! 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? Mu: Th-Thank you very much! <Mu Victory> Mu: 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. Mu: Wh-Whaa...? Rachel: ...What are you all mad about? Oh, that's right. Noel... I was actually looking for you– Mu: Eek! Rachel: Phenomena intervention?

Stage 8: Nu-13

Mu: Huh? Where am...? Ragna? Rachel...? Hazama: Hey little puppet. Long time no see. Mu: ?! Hazama?! Hazama: Damn...this sensation... Stupid vampire, always meddling in my affairs... Mu: What are you trying to do, Hazama...? Hazama: Shut up, I don't need to talk to you, you damn doll. Hey, 13, we don't have much time. Make it quick. Nu: Roger. Mu: Y-You're...! This strange feeling...are you the real one? Nu: Target determined to be phenomena variant... Code...unknown. Murakumo unit...activate. I...I can't run...I've already decided, I'm not going to run! I have to fight...to protect everyone, I have to stand up against you! Mu: Summoning Lux Sanctus! Nu: Commencing termination. Mu: Murakumo unit...activate!

AD2200/02/03 Hazama: You idiot...how can you screw this up? 13, stand down. Nu: Ro...ger... Mu: I won...right? Rachel: Noel. Noel! Are you alright? Mu: Oh, Miss Rachel... Yes, I'm fine! Rachel: ...You do seem to be doing all right. Well, first things first, we must get away from here. ...I understand now. I have an idea what Terumi was after, so... Rachel: Noel, you should go to Kokonoe's place once– Are you even listening to me? Mu: Huh? Oh, right... I should go to Kokonoe's place, right? Rachel: What a refreshed expression you've got. Did something good happen to you? Mu: ...I'm not sure exactly how to explain it, but... I think I– I think I'm finally beginning to understand. What it means to be "strong". Although honestly...it's like trying to grab fog... Rachel: ...Hm. Well, do your best with that. Mu: Thank you very much! A-And, um... Miss Rachel...? Rachel: Yes? Mu: At first I was afraid of you because you seemed like...well, a scary person, but... You're actually quite nice when I get to know you. I think I really like you, Miss Rachel! Rachel: I know... Not that it makes me any happier. Gii: Noel... Nago: I think you're just misunders– Nago & Gii: B'huragh! Rachel: I suppose we can just say "you owe me one". Until next time, Noel. Mu: Miss Rachel...thank you very much. I'm gonna do my best.

Story Mode

When Noel created the Realm, an imaginary space out of her own subconscious, Rachel helped the girl try to accept herself. This led to Noel coming face-to-face with a reflection of her soul that she did not want to initially accept or even acknowledge – Mu. Noel won her battle and, with Rachel's encouragement, accepted her power, gaining access to Mu's form. This was tested against Nu-13 shortly afterwards, leading to the first known clash between two wielders of the Lux Sanctus: Murakumo. The Realm collapsed shortly afterwards, but Mu's power was now accessible by Noel.

Noel activated Murakumo again, relying on Mu's power to help her battle against Ragna as he was sent berserk by Izanami. She failed to stop him and he disappeared after gravely injuring Jin.

Central Fiction

The Successor of the Azure and the 12th Prime Field Device, as well as the true form of Noel Vermillion. She awoke in Kagutsuchi as the "enemy of the world," and was attacked by her friends one after the other. In order to discover the true meaning behind this phenomenon, she begins to act.

During the confrontation with Ragna, Mu was split from Noel's soul and became her own separate entity, but maintained Noel's memories and personality. Mu-12 was also absorbed into the Embryo, but was sent to a different world from the others. In this reality, she had murdered many people, including her friends. She discovered Makoto while still unaware of her circumstances and was attacked by her. She fought back and knocked her former friend down.

Inside the NOL branch of Kagutsuchi, she found Tsubaki, who turned her blade against the Godslayer and asked if it was fun to kill so many people and take their futures away from them. Tsubaki transformed into Izayoi, and the pair fought until a phenomenon intervention took Izayoi away. Mu began to despair over her circumstances, but resolved to find the Cauldron. Kagura blocked her way, his words making her lose control. She fell into a depression and stopped acting like Noel and more like the original Mu-12. Once she killed the illusion of Kagura, the cauldron opened itself up.

Inside the cauldron, Mu discovered Es guarding the Forbidden Gate -Altar-. The two fought briefly before Mu lost to Es, and was sent back to the original, real world. There, the real Hazama found her and managed to manipulate her into a robotic trance, whereupon he ordered her to kill the real Ragna. She complied, but Ragna freed her from her trance, and she was able to direct him out of the phenomenon event and back to his original reality. Mu attempted to follow but couldn't, and asked Ragna to bring Noel to a cauldron so she could fuse with her again. Ragna fulfilled his promise and brought Noel to a cauldron, but Noel rejected Mu, forcing Mu to wait until her other half was able to accept her.

Fusing together with Izanami to regain all of Saya's soul

Mu was finally accepted by Noel later when the latter used the Azure Grimoire as a cauldron. With this, Mu finally reunited with the other half of her soul. Noel would later use Mu's power to fully absorb Izanami and Saya into herself, and become the complete whole of Saya.
