A Beaching We Will We Go!
Narrator: Threatened by a ruthless demon, humanity was on the brink of destruction. All seemed lost until a lone mage stepped forward and took up the fight. After his triumph, he was hailed as the Wizard King, and his story has become legend. The Eye of the Midnight Sun, the perpetrators of the Royal Capital attacks had identified themselves as a prime enemy to the Clover Kingdom with the intent of total destruction and to also build sovereign nation of their own upon the remains of the Clover Kingdom's citizens and royalty. They were under the belief that gathering items known as Magic Stones would lead and allow them to be reborn into their true beings who once upon a time had near infinite amounts of mana and magical power. However they must still must collect three more stones for this rebirth to even occur, and one of the stones is said to have been located in a strong magic region known as the Underwater Sea Temple.
Julius: Thank you, Yami. I'll be counting on you! Oh and Asta?
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
(Love Guess Who's Back. Banger. Changes alright! 0:09 Asta is seen looking at the moon as a black bird not Nero and a Dragon are seen soaring into the sky. As the grimoires of the Bulls are shown, Tyrus's appears before Noelle's and just after Luck's. Tyrus appears after Noelle and before Magna, doing a throat slitting gesture. Asta and Tyrus are shown staring, with Nero landing on the former's shoulder and Kuraokami dancing around his master's shoulders as they smirk intensely, as they pan towards shots of the Black Bulls with Noelle and Tyrus getting their own before Yami. At 1:09, a battered, ragged yet defiant Tyrus stands guard of Noelle as he bursts in a drill like fashion at the unknown as she like in the intro, fires off a spell. At the ending when the big collision with Vetto of Despair occurs, Tyrus's face is the second to last as he and Asta make one last desperate stand against the Man Beast in static white. The ending still sees the Bulls lined up with Tyrus sandwiched between Noelle and Yami.)
Night falls on the Clover Kingdom as high above, Klaus Lunettes, Mimosa Vermillion and Yuno of the Golden Dawn ride in the former's Steel Chariot.
Klaus: We've neatly completed another successful mission. I have no fear or doubt that Captain Vangeance will be proud of our efforts when we report back to the hideout and that another gold star awaits us.
Mimosa: Absolutely!
Klaus: But Yuno?
Yuno: Yes, Sir?
Klaus: That Wind Spirit of yours, Sylph was its name, correct? It is indeed quite powerful. HOWEVER, you need to abstain from fighting on your own. While I want nothing more than you to have confidence in your abilities, it's never an issue to look for help in Mimosa or myself when the numbers prove too much. Do you understand what I am saying?
He looks to see the rookie who had all the Magic Knight Squad Captains raise their hands for looking down at the kingdom while Mimosa thinks to herself while smiling.
Mimosa: Something tells me he listening, but then it's going right out the other ear.
Klaus: AND THAT MEANS STOP CHARGING IN SO BRAZENLY LIKE A BULL IN A CHINA SHOP WITHOUT CONSULTING ME FIRST! We do things my way, with my strategy. Are you even listening to me, Yuno?!
Yuno: Yes, Sir.
Klaus: Well, um... Good, then!
???: GAHHHHHHHHHH!
A shrill scream pierces the sky. Gaining the attention of the Golden Dawn, particularly the oldest and most tenured member of the squad.
Klaus: A scream?
Yuno: It came from somewhere down in this vicinity.
Mimosa: It sounds like someone is in trouble!
Klaus: Let's go then!
He rotates the chariot in a 180 degree direction as they approach the origin of the deathly wail. They land and quickly run as they hear muffled screams between what sound like two women as Klaus leads his two rookies as Mimosa immediately recognizes the one who's doing most of the screaming.
Mimosa: That voice! Could it be?
Klaus smashes the door down!
Klaus: A ROBBERY?!
Only to find a nude Noelle and fully dressed Vanessa in his front view..... His nose gushes blood as he falls back on his head, possibly dying from a combination of blood loss and full on embarrassment while Noelle unleashes another deathly wail.
Noelle: GAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Mimosa: Noelle?!
Yuno: What are you doing here? Better yet, don't answer that. I'm going to try and erase this memory from my head.
Noelle takes a deep breath before she unleashes on her older cousin and the two males in her presence.
Noelle: YOU'RE THE THREE BONEHEADS WHO BARGED IN HERE!
Yuno looks around and realizes where they're at.
Yuno: Swimsuits?
Vanessa: That's right, swimsuits Little Golden Boy.
Yuno: Excuse me?
Vanessa steps up to answer all questions for her embarassed rookie.
Vanessa: We're taking a little trip to the beach tomorrow and Noelle here doesn't have a swimsuit. So we're shopping to find my little rookie the perfect one. Personally, I offered one of my own but she tragically declined-
Noelle: THAT'S BECAUSE THEIR NOTHING BUT LITERALLY STRINGS, VANESSA! YOU SERIOUSLY EXPECT ME TO WEAR SOMETHING THAT LEAVES LITTLE TO THE IMAGINATION?!
Mimosa shares, in a less shocked horror and more surprised fashion.
Mimosa: Oh, my... That is quite the plight... So then all the screaming we heard earlier on the way back to the base-
Noelle sparks a dangerous look towards her superior's direction.
Noelle: Was when Vanessa began ripping all of my clothes off like a possessed human being! WITHOUT my permission, no less!
Vanessa: I was TRYING to help you. Not like you can try a swimswuit over your regular clothing. You have to kinda be naked for this type of thing. Come on, help me out here!
An attendant desperately chuckles as if to signal she was staying back and out of this conversation.
Yuno: Unbelievable. Can we please leave now?
Vanessa holds up yet ANOTHER stringy bikini with a seashell bra.
Vanessa: How about this one?
Noelle: PUTTING SOME LITTLE SEASHELLS ON IT WON'T MAKE IT ANY BETTER!
Klaus wakes up from his bloody stupor as he flicks his glasses up, the nosebleed still evident but now ending.
Klaus: So, it was a meager false alarm then? Trying on swimsuits for a beach trip, is this what constitutes hard work for the Black Bulls?
Vanessa takes offense from his words.
Vanessa: Well, EXCUSE you. But you should this mission actually was cleared and commissioned by the Wizard King himself, thank you very much, Four Eyes.
Yuno: Wait, mission?
Vanessa: I didn't stutter there, cutie. And it's one. Big. Giant. Juicy. Secret. Mission. So, you want to come with kiddo?
He slightly blushes but in his classic Yuno fashion, the wind mage is as quick to disguise it than he is to display in front of it the beauty.
Vanessa: Ha... You're just too adorable.
Yuno: There are other things that are taking up my time, so unfortunately I'll have to decline.
Mimosa: That's truly a shame. I'd love a trip to the beach, but alas, I must decline too since my next mission starts tomorrow as well.
Meanwhile, Charmy takes in the sight of Yuno as he continues going back and forth with Vanessa.
Charmy: There he is! My Prince of Meal Provisions! I wondered what he would say if he saw me in a swimsuit!
Mimosa: It's a shame, I would have loved seeing you in a swimsuit, Noelle.
Noelle: What-what are you going on about, Mimosa?!
Charmy has a daydream about Yuno and herself on the beach and suffice it to say, it was as delusional as it was wacky. In the apex of her Yuno-driven madness she jumps only to land flat on her face as Noelle and Vanessa look down on the pint-sized Bull.
Charmy: Wait! Where did my Prince Charming of Meal-Saving go?!
Vanessa: You mean the Little Golden Dawn Boy? Sweetie, he already left.
Charmy: I have failed!
Vanessa: Haha, looks like Charmy has a suit already picked out before you too, Noelle. Time's a ticking Little Royal. Come on, last chance on the Starry Night....
Noelle: WHAT, NO WAY! It doesn't cover up anything!
The attendant sneaks up on Noelle, who's now back in her usual royal attire.
Attendant: Maybe she should take a look at these options, if she's modest about her body? We've got a specific bikini that hasn't been bought yet.
Noelle: Which one? I mean, it's a tad bit pricey... but that's not a problem for me. I don't know though. Plus it's cute and pretty, honestly. It's just... there's still a lot of skin showing, you know what I mean?
Attendant: I'm sure you'll have all eyes on you, Princess Silva.
Noelle: All..... Eyes?
She immediately thinks of one individual, of the ice-wielding variety who flashes one of his signature smiles.
Noelle: What about Tyrus? No.... he doesn't strike me as the type who would easily fawn over women in a swimsuit... then again WILL his eyes be on me? This might get a compliment for me out of him! EHH- I mean, not that I don't care or value his opinion at all or if he notices me at all! Why should I care if I get a compliment, least of all from that idiot?
Attendant: So..... I take it you want this one?
Noelle suddenly makes up her mind on a whim.
Noelle: I'LL TAKE IT! LET'S GO! AND PLEASE, KEEP THE CHANGE!
Attendant: What? You're surely not serious?!
(The Next Day....)
Everyone was up, bright and early to the point where the sun hadn't even rose fully as Magna shouts after Roll-Call...
Magna: ALRIGHT YOU CRAZY BASTARDS, ARE WE ALL READY TO GO?!
He, along with Finral, Gauche, Luck, and Tyrus are armed with brooms with the mohawked Rayaka native sitting on Crazy Cyclone. Gauche laments as he holds a picture of Marie up.
Gauche: My Darling Goddess Sister Marie, how I regret not bringing you to the beach.
Luck: I wonder which one is stronger, whale or shark!
Gordon, uncharastestically of himself, has a broom in one hand and a turtle floatie in the other as he mutters to himself. Charmy enjoys a nap on her cotton cloud.
Magna: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU TWO THINK YOU'RE DOING?! EH? DON'T JUST PLOP YOUR ASSES ON CRAZY CYCLONE ANY KIND OF WAY, AND YOU, DON'T THINK I FORGOT WHAT YOU SAID, NOELLE!
Noelle: You're still holding that against me? Granted, I still think it's-
Tyrus: Nope, we are not repeating Sosshi Village. Noelle can ride with me, Asta can ride with Magna! We happy?
Asta: Are you okay?
Noelle: I don't think I ever seen you-
Tyrus: I'm fine. I'm just not used to waking up this early in the morning and not doing chores. Just not in the mood to hear ya three yahoos argue all day on the way to the beach.
He yawns, pointing out his early morning frustration. He then singles out the royal, telling her to get off Crazy Cyclone so they could avoid any more morning conflict before he pulled a Captain Yami.
Asta: Hey speaking of, is Captain Yami still sleeping?
Noelle: That is strange, the lack of doors being broken down by his foot is eerily weird and offputting in the morning.
Finral: Nah, the captain said he needed to get some things squared away earlier and he was the first one to leave today.
Tyrus: Captain... Yami? Up first? Somehow that sentence doesn't make sense, but then again I don't want his ghostly mana squeezing my head like an orange.
Vanessa: Ha, you're not the only one surprise by this Tyrus. It's rare the Captain ever wakes up early in the morning. Believe me, we're just as shocked as you by this miracle.
Magna: YUP, THAT'S OUR FEARLESS CAPTAIN YAMI FOR YOU! READY TO GRAB THE MORNING BY HER THROAT AND KICK HER IN STRAIGHT IN THE ASS! Alright Black Bulls, the beach awaits its Magic Knight protectors for the day!
Everyone gets on their brooms.
Magna: ALRIGHT, CRAZY CYCLONE! I AM READY FOR TAKE-A-OFFFFFFFFF!
He leads the charge with Asta in tow as soon, everyone brings up the rear.
Narrator: Asta, Noelle, Tyrus and their other Black Bull compatriots were heading for a oceanfront town destination called Raquey that has received critical acclaim from numerous beachgoers over the years. The strong mana around Raquey has caused the beach to reach hot temperatures year round, making it a popular vacation spot for nobility, Magic Knights and commoners alike.
Asta: Hey Finral, wouldn't have it been easier to use your spatial magic to get to the beach?
Tyrus: Ya know, I'm kinda wondering this myself. Not that I don't mind honing my broom riding skills every once in a while.
Finral: Sorry guys, this is my first trip to Raquey as well. You two should know by now I can't use my magic to places I haven't before
Gauche: Tch.... What are you good for again? Now we have expend all of our mana just to fly over to the beach.
Finral: I AM YOUR SUPERIOR, DAMN YOU!
Vanessa: It must be National Shock Day. I'd thought you of all people would make it your life mission to visit a place with a lot of babes in bikinis, Finral.
Finral: Heh, believe me Vanessa. I figure half the battle's the anticipation of waiting for something. And anticipating a day like this? Only reason I haven't been to Raquey yet.
Noelle, who finally opens her eyes and removes her face from Tyrus's shoulder realizes they're a Black Bull short.
Noelle: Hold on, where's the person who's blowing smoke and looking intimidating at?
Tyrus: You mean Grey?
Everyone looks around and their eyes land suspiciously on a rather talkative Gordon with the floatie.... who then transforms into Grey.
Asta: Wait- that was Grey the entire time?
Tyrus: So if that was Grey.... Don't tell me....
Everyone: WHERE IS GORDON?!
Back at the hideout, Gordon had gathered the last of his beach belongings as he came upon the deserted base. Not so much as his captain or the yelling of Magna, Noelle or Asta realizes he's been left behind. Unfortunately, the at times mute Agrippa forgot to set his alarm earlier in the night and someone failed to wake up their fellow Black Bull.
Tyrus: Shit... I hope Gordon isn't mad with us. That's one person I feel you don't want to get on the bad side of.
Magna: I wouldn't worry too much, Gordon's a forgiving guy.... it should be within view soon.
Asta: What should?
Magna: The ocean, Little Rasta.... I can't wait. It's the first time I'm getting to see in it's entirety!
Asta: Me neither!
Tyrus: Make that three. I just know... a spectacular and beautiful view awaits us.
Noelle: Well you don't gotta wait any longer idiots, because there it is. Don't you see all that blue?
Asta: N-NO WAY!
Tyrus: Majestic!
Magna: That's an ocean... seriously?!
Everyone takes in the sights as they see the many patrons and beachgoers.
Black Bulls: WE'RE AT THE BEACH!
Palm trees with coconuts, bright glowing sun, beautiful women of all shapes and sizes relaxing. Raquey was bustling in the early afternoon hours. Asta and Tyrus took in the sights, the latter enjoying what appeared to be a strawberry shortcake ice cream.
Asta: WE'RE REALLY AT THE BEACH, TYRUS! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!
Tyrus: Yeah, it's nice without a doubt but let me tell you, this ice cream is way better dude. Need to get one in your stomach, like right now!
Asta: This is so uberly awesome! I wish Yuno, the kids, Sister Lily and Father were here! Yeah Sister Lily, one day I will bring you here.
Father Orsi: WHAT AM I ASTA? CHOPPED LIVER?!
Noelle, meanwhile spies on Tyrus as he continues to converse with his foster brother while she figdets with the bra portion of her recently brought swimsuit.
Noelle: What is that yahoo jawing on about? HE-
She thinks back to when... that succubus, the redhead known as Rebecca stole the honor of being Tyrus's first kiss right from under her nose. That scene, his eyes opening wildly like a wounded animal, her jaw dropping to the floor and Tyrus running out embarassed his face flushed from her action. It had been on her mind 24/7.
Noelle: Wait, he better not be thinking about that kiss that damn girl gave him as thanks for getting her siblings back! Well if you are, you should start wiping that smirk off of your face! UH I- Not like I wouldn't kiss that damned Bakarus at all anyway.
She continues to twirl one of the straps to her bra as she contemplates getting out in the sun and melting the ice mage's heart or rather, setting it ablaze.
Noelle: It's about time we give that fool the true viewing of a real royal woman. I mean, he's the reason I bought this swimsuit in the first place. He- he better not get the wrong idea though! I don't want him to want me at all, I just want him to know that I'm so much more appealing than Rebecca! Well... *GULP* here we go!
She quickly steps out of the shade but just as quickly steps back into it when she notices Tyrus approaching a nearby trash can as he does away with the now popsicle stick and wrapper as he tosses it all in the trash.
Noelle: OOOHHHH, what am I doing? I'm too embarrassed! But I want him to see me so badly! AH, BUT I'M TOO EMBARRASSED! Just do it, Noelle! BABY STEPS!
She swallows, takes a deep and determined breath and steps back out to the sunlight.
Noelle: I got a new swimsuit! T-T-Tyrus, what do you think?
Tyrus hears his name called as he looks to see Noelle slightly blushing.
Tyrus: Hey Noelle, I was wondering about you... just... now-
He gets a full view of her swimsuit, and he successfully prevents himself from a nosebleed but fails to stop stuttering.
Tyrus: N-N-Noelle... Y-Y-You--
Magna: CHECK IT OUT GUYS! LOOK AT MY NEW SWIMSUIT, THE REST OF YOU HAVE NOTHING ON THIS!
She quickly ducks behind a palm tree, which confuses Tyrus as Magna and Asta take in the flame mage's 'swimsuit' attire.
Asta: WHOA MAGNA, IS THAT YOUR SWIMSUIT?!
Tyrus: Why does it look so familiar? It's bold I'll give you that much.
Magna: Yeah! Instead of going traditional I decided to go bold, you know what I'm saying. Went loincloth like Captain Yami, it's something that they wore back where he's from.
Noelle: What an idiot.
Magna: HOW ABOUT A RACE YOU TWO?! SURPASS OUR LIMITS.
Tyrus: Give me like, I don't know twenty minutes. I'm still sitting on this ice cream and I don't want any cramps.
Vanessa: Hey you three, did you get a look at my new swimsuit?
She models her suit, showing off her athletic curves.
Tyrus: What's so different about it, Nessa? It's quite literally the same as your usual get up.
Magna: I have to agree.
Vanessa: I wouldn't expect an virgin delinquent like yourself to understand, Magna. This is adult charm we're talking about after all.
Magna: I am not a virgin delinquent, you damn drunkard!
Luck: I actually like the idea of a race, Magna. You're on!
The boy Noelle referred to as Lightning Boy Wonder lights Magna's loincloth on fire, which you can guess... causes Magna to scream like a man possessed.
Tyrus: Shit, Magna's gonna set a world record for fastest thing moving he keeps that up.
Asta: ALRIGHT, GO MAGNA AND LUCK, SIRS!
Gauche: Will you two stop with your incessant screaming... jackasses. Well Marie, what do you think? I made it look just like you!
Marie: I love it, Gauche! Will you turn me around so I can see the ocean?
Gauche: It would be my utmost pleasure, dear baby sister. One, two and three!
Marie: WOOOOOWWWWW! It's so pretty.
Gauche: Next time, it'll be just us and we can splash around in the water.
She stops when she notices Asta and Tyrus hanging in the water.
Asta: Okay, wow that is cold!
Tyrus: My fault... it might be my mana doing all that. I know water is supposed to be cold but never that cold.
Marie: Is that Asta and Tyrus? When you bring me to the beach, can they come too-
Noelle: So I... um got a new swimsuit Tyrus. What do you think?
Tyrus turns around again...
Tyrus: Right your swimsuit... I was going to say you looked-
Gauche: Anyone who tempts my darling Marie... WILL DIE!
Noelle: Yes....
Tyrus: No... LOOK OUT!
Noelle: HUH?!
He pushes her out the way as he quickly ducks a Reflect Refrain from Gauche's Mirror Magic... with Asta falling into the water. He gets up, face full of sand in the fixture of a clown as his blood turns cold at his teammates antics as he nearly hit his crush and his brother.
Gauche: TCH!
Tyrus: GAUCHE? THE ABSOLUTE HELL, YOU NEARLY HIT NOELLE AND I, I SHOULD CLOBBER YOU TO NEAR DEATH, SISTER COMPLEX!
Asta: HELLLPPPPP! IT'S SO SALTY! I-I CAN'T BREATHE!
Noelle: SERIOUSLY, LOOK AT ME TYRUS!
The day continues to move forward as for the moment Noelle gives up her temporary pursuit in getting a compliment out of Tyrus. Finral, being the usual hopeless romantic he was began scouting his options.
Finral: OH YEAH! SO MANY BUXOM BIKINI BABES, I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE FROM! SO MANY, SO MANY! IT'S TIME FOR A FINRAL ROULACASE MASTERCLASS! ALRIGHT, GREY LOCK IN, TRANSFORM INTO ANOTHER ME!
Grey does what is asked of him, as he turns into the beloved womanizer.
Grey: Check it, now there's twice the Finral to go around! You feel what I'm saying!
Finral: Alright, here's our cover story, we're sexy identical twins and selling point? Our witty and snappy dialogue! No pressure at all, think you can handle it?
Grey(Finral): Of course, I'm you after all!
Charmy had been blindfolded and to herself, as she was preparing to destroy a watermelon she had found... somewhere.
Charmy: Visualize the watermelon.... BE THE WATERMELON! YOU CAN DO THIS PAPPITSON, YOU WERE TRAINED IN THE WAY OF WATERMELON SMASHING AND MASHING!
Vanessa: GLUG, AHHHHHH! It's something about drinking wine near the ocean that makes so much more refreshing. Charmy, a little more to the right dear, oh hey! Weren't you supposed to be helping Finral picking up girls with the whole twin act?
Grey(Vanessa): Oh, I was but I got bored real quick. So I let him have at it. Couple steps to the left, Charmy!
Vanessa: No, to the right! You need to go right!
Charmy: I've got it... just need to focus..... AHA!
Noelle and Tyrus help Asta out of the water as he finally hacks the last of the ocean water out of his lungs.
Asta: I saw my... life flash before my eyes, you two! You're so lucky you're both attuned to water....
Tyrus: Hey look at it this way... at least Gauche won't try anything again at least not until he can dig his way out of the chasm I put his body...
Asta: YOU KILLED HIM?!
Tyrus: What? NO, WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR A SADIST?! He should be getting out of there right about...
Noelle: Hey so, this swimsuit Tyrus.
Charmy: GATCHA, BANZAI!
THWACKKKKKK!
Instead of hitting the melon she thought she had split down the middle.... she winds up cracking Tyrus in the base of his head.
Tyrus: OWWWWWWWW! CHARMY, YOU CAN'T JUST GO ASSAULTING PEOPLE WITH A BIG ASS STICK! I AM NOT A PINATA, HAD THAT BEEN ANYONE WITH A SOFTER HEAD, YOU'D BE TRIED FOR MURDER!
She takes her blindfold off to see an enraged and bleeding Tyrus.
Charmy: Oh look, melon juice!
Tyrus: THAT IS MY BLOOD, NOT MELON JUICE YOU DAMN MASOCHIST!
Noelle, not even realizing her crush has a hellacious head wound and miraculously hasn't died yet still pines for Tyrus to give her a compliment.
Noelle: Ummmm, hello don't forget my swimsuit!
Suddenly, another Tyrus shows up.
Grey(Tyrus): Hey, it just now occurred to me being buff like you and Asta has its advantages, but it's super gross!
Tyrus: That's it, I ban you from transforming into me Grey! There's no way I sound like that. You're wasting the potential of that fire ass magic mocking me and everyone else.
Noelle: Bakarus!
Asta: HEY, TYRUS! COME GET SOME LEG EXERCISES WITH YOURS TRULY!
Tyrus: I swear working out is all you ever think about, Meatsta! Oh, Noelle.
Noelle: Yes, is it about-
Tyrus: GAHHH, DAMN IT CHARMY! I AM NOT A WATERMELON, YOU DAMN PSYCHO! HOLD ON NOELLE, I'LL BE BACK WITH YOU!
Noelle: HEY!
She blushes angrily as she begins to swirl a waterball in his and the pursuing Charmy's direction.
Noelle: You... WILL LOOK AT ME, BAKARUS! AND YOU WILL DO IT RIGHT NOW!
She shoots it at him... only for it to be a cruel reminder of the first time they met as it curves back on her and races towards an as well panicking Magna, hitting him full force.
Magna: GEEZ, NOELLE! You still can't control your magic?! I mean, not that I ain't thanking you this time but COME ON!
She brushes her right ponytail to the side.
Noelle: No wand right now, so local defensive spells are the only ones I'm capable of casting right now.
Magna: Why are you bragging about that?! OHHHH nooooo!
His loincloth thanks to the fire Luck had set, comes undone as he tender bits go exposed in front of the royal.
Noelle: GYAHHHHHHHHH, YOU DAMN PERVERT!
Her spell hits him down South of his border, causing his shades to fly off and Magna to scream in an opera worthy level performance.
Luck: HAHAHAHAHA, do it again Noelle!
Just then a shiver goes down her spine.
Sekke: HA-HA! So this is the world famous Raquey Beach? The ocean is calling my name....
Boy: Shouldn't be you working right now, Sekke?
Boy 2: Isn't that all we do anyway?
Sekke: Well fellows, seeing as how I just completed a strenous and nerve wracking mission, the Wizard King himself awarded me one hundred (Lie, the Wizard King awarded Sekke five stars), Even Captain Jack praised my efforts(Another lie, Jack the Ripper doesn't even acknowledge his name), It was thanks to me, hundreds of innocent little kids were rescued from malevolent evildoers. (Truth). So, it wouldn't hurt to rest my bones for a little bit.
Finral: WELL HELLO NURSE? I'VE SEEM TO HAVE A BROKEN HEART, THINK YOU CAN MEND IT BACK TO FULL STRENGTH?
Sekke witnesses Finral stinking up the beach, trying to curry favor with the ladies.
Sekke: A creep trying to impress the ladies? Why don't you two go and pick up some ladies of your own, I won't hold ya back Ha-ha!
Boy: What, with you?
Sekke: HA-HA! I could never do something so desperate... No, this is all about you two. Go on, don't be shy!
Which basically means he's going to try and show us up, steal our prize in a manner of speaking....
Sekke: Don't forget, the only reason you're here is because you have a friend amongst the Magic Knight ranks. I've given you a golden opportunity, don't waste you two, Ha-Ha!
Boy: We're really doing this?!
Boy 2: Doesn't look like we have a choice.
Sekke then spots a lone Noelle chatting with Vanessa, who once again has given up her pursuit of compliment fishing. Sekke sends his charges the royal girl's way.
Boy: Hey there cuties, nice day for a swim isn't it?
Boy 2: Do you have a few minutes to perhaps-
Noelle: Begone, you insects.
Sekke: Wait.... THAT'S THE GIRL FROM THE BLACK BULLS! IF SHE'S HERE THEN....
The very ground beneath the Green Praying Mantis as he slowly turns around to see, HELL ON EARTH. Magna was hellbent on getting Luck back for seting him on fire, Gauche had been chasing Asta with his mirror magic after Marie said 'hi' to him and Charmy had continued to swing away at Tyrus, who narrowly continued to avoid death by way of glutton. It was a chaotic scene to say the least.
Gauche: DIE! REFLECT REFRAIN!
Asta: WAHHHHHHAHAHHAHAHAH!
Charmy: WATERMELON!
Tyrus: STOP IT CHARMY!
Magna: I'M GONNA KILL YOU, LUCK!
Luck: KEEP TRYING BUDDY!
All their magics fire off as they hit Sekke before the dustnado hits, sending him flying him the Raquey ocean.
Sekke: BAH-HA!!!!
Magna: Any idea what I hit, was it Luck?
Luck: NOPE!
Tyrus: It felt like something tall, lanky and something that utters the dumbest saying of all time.
Charmy doesn't even talk as she begins munching on her watermelon.
Asta: HEYYYYYY! We came here looking for the magic stone and Underwater Sea Temple, not to goof off! AH-HA!
Yami: Yeah right, like you're doing anything to investigate!
Tyrus: Ah shit.....
Yami: Ah shit is right, you damn knucklehead.
Some five to seven minutes later and an irate Yami puts his subordinates in shallow body graves in the sand while ripping into them.
Yami: Alright listen up, while you idiots did the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I told you all, I actually went and did some worthwhile investigating. Got some nifty intel while I was at it too. Apparently, the Underwater Sea Temple is beneath the surface of the ocean. Unfortunately, the only problem is the mana driven currents. Even a skilled a mage will have problems with them. So our best shot will be the night of a full moon and luck happens to be on our side, as sometime next week happens to be night of the latest full moon, that's when the currents will be at their "weakest".
Yami's long winded intel shocks everyone to their cores. What happened to their fun-loving, wage-betting captain? Who was the serious stiff imposter?
Asta, Charmy, Noelle, Magna and Tyrus: WHATTTTTT, CAPTAIN YAMI IS ACTUALLY TAKING HIS JOB SERIOUSLY?!
He puts his boot in his Asta's face, seemingly signaling out the manaless boy but his withering glare is meant for everyone.
Yami: I'm seriously going to put all of your asses in caskets if you keep playing with my name. Of course I'm taking my job fucking seriously, idiots! Now as you could probably already guess, as the name would suggest, the Underwater Sea Temple is on the ocean floor. We'll need magic to get there. Noelle?
Noelle: Y-Yes?
Yami: That's where your water magic will come into play,
Noelle: Huh?!
Yami: You're going to be our means of transport.
Noelle contemplates what her captain is asking of her. Yes, he's deadly serious but he's knowing of the fact that she isn't the best when it comes to maintaining control of her mana.
Noelle: Sir, what you're asking of me? It's impossible.... that requires an incredible amount of magic power and control! No I can't do it, you have to ask someone else! If I FAILED- IF I let you all down... then-
Yami: We all die, right? You blow this simply put and we all drown, there's no way around it. This was a top secret mission entrusted to the Black Bulls by the Wizard King himself. There is no someone else, Noelle. It's just you and only. The full moon is a week away, you got then to hone you transportation skills and control over it. PUSH PAST YOUR LIMITS. AS ONLY I KNOW YOU CAN, SILVA.
Night soon encroached all over Raquey and while most of the Black Bulls took refuge in the beachhouse which had been on the Wizard King's payroll, Noelle now in her usual attire had been hard at work figuring how to go about her spell.
Noelle: Sea Dragon's Lair.... currently it's the closest thing I have to a signature spell. Developing and honing it should be the quickest way to get where I need to be without any shortcuts.
She grips her wand tightly... as those lingering doubts begin to creep into her mind.
Noelle: Still though! Vanessa taught me a lot of ways to control my magic but none have worked at all.
The spell collapses as it causes a mini rain shower as she breathes hard. She then hears a familiar voice.
Tyrus: I was wondering where the lack of Bakaruses and Stupidstas had been.
Noelle: Tyrus? Asta?
Tyrus: Just me.
Noelle: What're you doing out here? You're not spying on me, are you?
Tyrus: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? No, Asta and I were sparring for the last twenty minutes and we needed a break. Lost him after he uh.... got a crab clamped on his foot.
She blushes terribly as she sits on a rock, offering him a seat near a couple others.
Noelle: So, you're out here training too?
Tyrus: You caught me. I wanted to get this whole being in possession of a attribute spirit and now finding out I'm a whole dragon's master down to the tee and manifest the power for my own..... It's trying to say the least. But at least you seem to be getting a handle on what Captain Yami demanded out of you, Noelle.
Noelle: Please, I'm royalty. Training is beneath someone like me.... I just don't want someone of your idiocy to drown and I'd be forced to live with the guilt.
Tyrus: Okay, wow... ouch. Don't spare my feelings at all.
He draws the symbol of heartbreak in the air while feigning some crocodile tears as Noelle rolls her eyes.
Tyrus: Hey, you kept asking what I thought about your swimsuit earlier, yeah? I was going to tell ya but between Gauche trying to kill Asta and I, Charmy pounding my head with a stick, and getting caught by Captain earlier today-
Noelle: HAHHH? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, COMMONER!
Tyrus: Noelle.... do you want my honest opinion or not? Because I can always go train with Asta-
Noelle: NO-
Tyrus: Alright.... honest to the first Wizard King? You actually.... looked prety good. Like...... really beautiful.
Noelle: Wait what was that last part?
Tyrus: Come on don't make me repeat myself... I'm not really good with the.... mushy feelings. I can tell you aren't either and that's okay. But fine, I said..... really beautiful.
Noelle looks at she profusely blushes and giggles.
Noelle: You're so cute when you're flustered. WAIT WHAT DID I JUST SAY, AM I GETTING TOO COMFORTABLE AROUND HIM?!
Tyrus: I hate you. But I meant those compliments, do with them what you will, I might act like it but I'm not as dense as Asta.... but hey, why don't we train together?
Noelle: You're not serious? Training with Tyrus, with no interruptions?
Tyrus: Very. Listen, you need help controlling your magic and I'm always looking for ways to hone and perfect the output of my ice power. If Asta were here, he'd definitely be a big help as well. He'd be able to stop your spells if they ever got out of control and I can always help you in the art of offense and defense. I told you from the first time we got together, we were going to be strongest mages the Clover Kingdom ever produced, you'll find out I don't break my promises often.
They look longingly in each other eyes as Noelle considers his offer before a certain anti-magic user ruins the moment.
Asta: Someone call my name?
Noelle: GAHHHH, STUPIDSTA?!
Tyrus: Time and a place, dude! Well, at least you got rid of those crabs.
Asta: What?! You said we should help Noelle, and I'm on board. Everything you said was completely true.
Noelle: Well, seeing as you how the both keep insisting, I suppose training with a couple of meatheads wouldn't be the absolute worst.
Tyrus bumps her shoulder as he rolls his eyes.
Tyrus: Always gotta find a way to veil a insult in there, don't ya, Noe-Noe... hm?
La..... La... La... La... Laa laa laaa.
Noelle: Do you guys hear that?
Asta nods.
Tyrus: Sounds like someone's singing and it's actually quite peaceful at that.
They walk around the beach as they close in on the sound of the singular La's being belted out when they see her, a young and beautiful brunette around the three Black Bulls age range singing her heart out.
