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 since become legend.

Asta: Well? COME ON OUT!

Tyrus: As much trouble as you were giving the cream of the crop when it comes to the Magic Knights of the Clover Kingdom? There's no way you're done that easily, Sergeant Sprinkles!

Something was off....

Tyrus: Hold on... Asta look! His grimoire, it's not gone! He's still alive but even weirder, it's floating!

Just as he finished speaking an intense blue glows, blinding everyone in the dungeon, crystalizing everything in the water, as coming out of it.... Mars returns, shooting even more giants crystals at the two brothers who fight like hell just to avoid getting pierced and shish-kabobbed. Diamonds form on the inside of the structure as Tyrus realizes too late much like what he, Magna and Asta did against Heath in Sosshi Village, it was a pincer attack being launched.

Tyrus: Asta, ON YOUR RIGHT!

Asta: MORE LIKE ON YOUR LEFT!

The two were trapped between dozen of crystals and diamonds, sharp as the tip of a kitchen knife as they slam into the two! Horrifying Yuno and everyone else inside who may have just witnessed two Magic Knights get murdered in front of their very eyes.

Yuno: ASTA! TYRUS!

The aforementioned Mars emerges from the clearing and lake now in a giant crystallized battle armor mech type suit as the traps opens, revealing a clothes-torn-to-shreds Asta and a severely battered Tyrus who didn't have enough time to protect himself from the bullet train like impact of the diamond smash trap. Both fall wounded but conscious as Mars looks at his handiwork as he shouts at Asta.

Mars: TELL ME BOY! JUST WHAT ARE YOU!

Asta: Sure I'll tell you. I was someone born without a single drop of magic to his character!

Klaus: So he was born WITHOUT any type of magic power?! So it was just luck after all- huh?!

He grips his sword as he tries to stabilize himself despite his hellacious injuries. Just then Tyrus, although in worse shape also begins to stir.

Asta: But I won't let that stop me.... because I'm going to be Wizard King someday!

Tyrus: Fat... bloody... chance... kfff... I told you. That's going to be me someday. But as for you, diamond chain... we'll continue to fight and bleed as much as we have to. Because guess what? We're in too deep and just too stubborn for our own good!

Klaus: Just look at their bodies, they are even worse shape than Mimosa when she got critically injured! How much time have they spent training, let alone Asta?! For him to endure those wound and still be standing, it's absolutely inconceivable. The Wizard King? Can he even reach that summit let alone even mean it?

Tyrus and Asta ready their dagger and sword yet again as Yuno watches intently. He knew one of these were going to land the decisive blow that he and Klaus failed to do for so many instances. As injured as they were, like he told Klaus, underestimating Tyrus and Asta would be a fatal mistake but now, he was ready to take his own advice at face value.

Girl: Mars, when you grow up, what do you want to be?

Mars: I- I live only to destroy!

Asta: Are you kidding me? You live to destroy?!

Tyrus: What a load of absolute bullshit!

Asta: The Wizard King LIVES to protect his people and his kingdom!

Girl: We'll keep everyone safe and our whole country safe, okay?

Tyrus: I will-

Asta: NEVER LOSE!

Noelle, Luck, Mimosa and Yuno all smile while Klaus looks on shocked by the inordinate amount of resilience and grit these commoners have put forth as they bot scream to their lungs.

Tyrus and Asta: NOT TO SOMEONE LIKE YOU!

Mars: YOU'RE IN MY WAY! BEGONE YOU PEBBLES!

Tyrus and Asta smirk at one another, knowing this was the moment they had been waiting for. The non-magic wielder and ice mage take charge and rush at the intimidating suit of armor.

Tyrus: SURE WE MAY BE PEBBLES TO SOMEONE AS THICK HEADED AS YOU!

Asta: BUT WE'LL BE THE PEBBLES THAT SMASH THROUGH!

Tyrus: AND SHATTER THAT GODDAMN DIAMOND!

They combine their attacks to devastating effect, Asta leveling Mars with a heavy strike to the chestplate of his armor whereas Tyrus delivered a TKO-inducing meathook clothesline from hell, courtesy of his Frost Frenzy spell as they simultaneously shatter his armor and knock him out flat on his backside.

Tyrus: Now sleep.... for what it was worth? You were exactly like Luck thought you were.

Everyone looks completely flabbargasted and downright shocked at the mayhem that had just ensued. Two mere commoners from the Forsaken Realm, the sticks as they were more commonly referred, just defeated a high ranking mage from an enemy kingdom. Yuno especially gets flashbacks to that day where his wind magic was beating down Asta but in the very last instance of that memory, young Asta had powered through the wind and hit Yuno with a stick on the top of his head. He smirked at the memory seeing the visual of his two foster brothers standing tall after coming to the aid of he and Golden Dawn members.

Asta: You see?! You can do anything! As long you don't ever give up.

Asta: HHAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Tyrus: One of these days, I swear I'm gonna duct tape your mouth shut or at least see if Vanessa can get an anti-shouting spell for you. But, great work Asta!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Tyrus: He better stay the hell down this time.... Between Sosshi and just now, I have had my fill with idiots that can make crystals or sharp ass ice fixtures.

Klaus performs a metal creation binding spell on the now unconscious Mars, taking his grimoire for possible evidence now that the aggressor is subdued and placated.

Klaus: There... that should him until we're at least done here.

Everyone looks stunned, still shocked that Asta and Tyrus were able to scratch let alone put this freak of a man down for the count where Yuno and Klaus struggled since Mars had arrived. Asta is shown eating what appears to grass, as everyone wonders where the hell he got it from.

Asta: Are you sure that's gonna- *GULP* hold him?

Klaus: Are you questioning my strength and magic right now?!

Tyrus: WEELLLLLLLL.....

Klaus: It's a sturdy spell that not even someone as powerful and malicious as he could break out of- plus before I secured him, I took his grimoire so he is about as harmless as a baby dragon with no teeth to bite with.

Asta: Okay, okay just making sure. Here have some plants to mellow out.

Klaus: I do not want your chewed up leftovers.

Asta: Yuno? Ty?

Yuno: I'll pass.

Tyrus: I'm trying to even see where you got those leaves from, Stupidsta.... Oh God, I think I'm turning into Noelle.

Noelle: Har-har, very funny. Bakarus, Thank you and Asta for putting that monster down..... AHHHH WHY HE IS IN MY HEAD AGAIN!

Mimosa: I'm glad to see none of us were seriously injured.

Noelle: Are you sure you should even be moving, Mimosa?

Mimosa: Oh, yes. I'm fine now, I'm mostly healed, it's just minor cuts as of this moment so please, don't worry about me Noelle. But I can't express how thankful I am for you protecting me.

Noelle's tsudnerism comes to the surface as her cousin launches praise after praise onto her, a light snowy pink blush paints across her face.

Noelle: No that's not what I meant.... I just couldn't leave a dimwit like you to defend herself or to perish in an abysmal place like this.

Mimosa: Well, in any event you have my gratitude Noelle.

Noelle: Hmph... Bakarus, Stupidsta. DO YOU THINK YOU TWO COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR CLOTHES?!

We get slow-rise pan of the foster brothers and the aftermath of their 2 on 1 fight with Mars. The right side of Asta's clothes, Black Bulls robe included are shredded, a bloody head wound leaks from his headband. Tyrus on the other-hand, after getting thrown into a wall which produced the result of his tattered undershirt but after being trapped with Asta in Mars's crystal trap, had a bloody wound on his forehead, his trenchcoat also ripped all the way to his Black Bulls logo. Somehow miraculously, his actual Black Bulls robe remained void of any tears, stretches and was perfect in its design still.

Asta: Geez, what did we do wrong this time?

Noelle: Just look at the two of you! You look like you went through one of Charmy's cheese graters!

Tyrus: You're pointing all this out, yet you're the one blushing like a ready-to-pick pot potato, Noelle! While we're half-naked mind you!

Noelle: You two are ridiculous, I am not blushing!

Tyrus: Yes you are.

Noelle: I AM NOT!

Asta: Ohhhh... my robe though! Magna's going to totally murder me if Captain Yami doesn't do it.

Tyrus: Just have Vanessa fix it when it get back. I already know she's going to be pissed about my coat though. There's not telling how many threads she's going to have to go through just to get it back to normal.

Klaus stews in his thoughts, still not trying to comprehend how two peasants were able to defeat a high-ranking Diamond Kingdom mage.

Klaus: Shameful Klaus Lunettes, I still can't believe that we needed the assistance of the Black Bulls! As I was certain we would, The Golden Dawn reached the treasure hall therefore are the winners of this little competition.

Tyrus: That's funny, I could HAVE sworn that Asta and I saved your behinds, Sir Spectacles!

Klaus: Again with that! However, thanks to your otherworldly efforts. We will allow you, The Black Bulls to join us in this treasure hall.

Asta: OH COME ON FOUR EYES, COULD YOU BE ANYMORE HIGH AND MIGHTY?! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, FOR TYRUS AND I SAVING YOUR ASSES, YOU ENORMOUS JERK!

Klaus: How about you shut your mouth before it gets you in trouble!

Tyrus: Awww, did we upset Sir Spectacles! My fellow Bulls do humbly apologize, please let me kiss your ring- SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

Klaus: I should chastise you both, but I simply don't have the time to waste with the Black Bulls' adolescent runts!

Asta: Just say you're scared! No one here will think any less of you!

Tyrus: Looks like someone's CHICKEN! BA-BA-BA-GAWKKKK, GO ON LAY AN EGG FOR ME, MY BLUE HAIRED CHICKEN!

Yuno: We're not just involved... we're flat out committed right now.

Luck smiles while Noelle looks on concerned as Asta and Tyrus continue to argue with Klaus. How she, a royal was starting to fall for an commoner like Tyrus was one of the biggest mysteries in her mind but honestly, one of the main reasons had to have been to the willingness to step up to the plate but also just now like Asta, his Forsaken Realm physique certainly wasn't helping her case. Combine that with his hilarious and sometimes jackass personality and willingness to put up with her tough girl shenanigans, she was surprised she hadn't began swooning at knees immediately. Mimosa was on the same wavelength of thinking, only for Asta.

Klaus: Now that is just that taking it too far!

Asta: OH I'LL SHOW YOU TOO FAR!

Klaus: NGH- ENOUGH! OFF TO THE TREASURE HALL!

Asta: NOW YOU'RE TALKING MY LANGUAGE!

Tyrus: Whatever is in that treasure, we claim in the name of the Clover Kingdom!

Klaus: WILL YOU TWO STOP YELLING?!

Noelle: You're one to talk, you loudmouth!

Tyrus: So.... anyone got a pickaxe or magic key? Because there's no way we're cracking that door.

Nero: kookoookkoooooo...

Klaus: There must be a cipher that would allow us passage into the hall.

Asta: Well, go ahead and find it, Four Eyes!

Klaus: Will you shut your mouth! And it's not Four Eyes, my name is Klaus!

Luck stands at the door putting his palm on it as lightning crackles through it gaining the attention of Noelle.

Luck: It's made of magic looks like! Asta, you should be able to slice through this with no problem, have it at.

Asta, Tyrus and Klaus end their argument when the former of the three hears his name called by Luck.

Asta: Alright, let's do it!

Klaus: Please, as if you'd be able to counteract such powerful magic like this.

Tyrus: You do realize we just took down a massive crystal battle armor? This should be child's play for someone like Asta.

Asta: YOU KNOW IT! JUST WATCH ME EVERYONE!!!!! HAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

He takes a hearty cut at the door, a shiny glint gracing the door as a byproduct and the door opened after a triangle like shape carved into the entrance, revealing all sorts of gold and valuable treasures resting comfortably.

Tyrus: Oh my stars..... SO SHINY!

Asta: WHOA SO MUCH TREASURE THIS IS SO AWESOME!

Noelle: I hope there's something befitting my royal tastes, but there's no telling where to start or end it off!

Tyrus: Better to get to scrambling then your Royal Highness! It's a bargain sale, HA-HA!

Everyone passes by her, Mimosa included as Noelle shouts.

Noelle: Hey, wait!

Klaus: Don't just go touching anything, anyone!

They all split off in separate directions with Mimosa and Noelle on one end, Luck to himself, same as Yuno while Klaus looked around as Asta picked up a communication which sprouted out a mini-Luck.

Luck: Hey there, Asta!

Asta: How did you get in there??????!

Yuno picks up a jar that spews out a few green specks that fly around harmlessly, meanwhile Tyrus picks up a dragon mask, scaring the girls as he promptly gets hit with a waterball.

Tyrus: Spoilsports you two are!

Noelle: That's what you get for scaring us Bakarus! Never again!

She then takes a look at a bubble.

Tyrus: Aww I think it likes you Noelle!

Noelle: What's it even supposed to do?

Klaus: ENOUGHHHHHH!

His screams startle everyone, Golden Dawn and Black Bulls, even going so far as startling Tyrus who fell into a back's worth of gold right next to an blue sword- curved in its hilt and blade yet beautiful and opulent in its design.

Tyrus: Damn it Shades! At least give us warning when you're about to pull an Asta! Huh, what is this....

Klaus: These are priceless magical artifacts you are sullying with your fingerprints!

Asta: Poking around a few things won't kill anyone, Captain Shortfuse!

Klaus: Address me by my proper name!

Asta: Okay, Mr. Specs.

Klaus: DON'T THINK I WON'T HURT YOU!

Asta: Ohhhhh, I'm so scared!

Klaus: DAMN YOU!

Suddenly a bright blue glow hits the room just Tyrus's grimoire begins glowing!

Tyrus: The hell?! My grimoire is reacting to whatever power this blade is giving off!

Klaus: PUT THAT DOWN!

Tyrus: Wish I could.... but I'm in no position to right now! It's quite literally not trying to leave my grip! AHHHHH!

The glow grows even more intense as Tyrus sees it.... a massive dragon living seemingly through the sword as it bursts through the blade causing him to scream out loud. But to everyone else, they see nothing other than glow of a sword having been activated.

(A/N for all intents and purposes... Yuno has already activated the Wind Spirit Sylph or Bell as she's commonly known as... bear with me here)

He drops the blade, falling to a knee, sweating profusely as Mimosa, Asta, Noelle and Yuno rush over to him.

Asta: Tyrus, are you alright?!

Mimosa: This isn't good, I don't think I ever seen him like this!

Noelle: Bakarus, snap out of it!

Yuno: He's still with us, but it's like he's not there....

Suddenly he comes to, springing up like a kangaroo!

Tyrus: Hey, what'd I miss?

Asta: You screamed like an idiot and then fell to a knee, we thought you just died on us!

Tyrus: Huh.....

Noelle: That's all you have to say! Huh?!

Tyrus: I really don't know what else to say you guys. One minute I hear Sir Spectacles screaming his head off, I fall on this sword and the next second it just explodes with all that energy. I guess it just overwhelmed me in one go.

He picks it up back and unlike what had just happened, once he picks it up there are no tricks and no light shows. All it does is glow a shiny marbled and electricfying blue as he sheathes it while looking at his fellow rookie knights, a smile plastered on his face.

Tyrus: In any event, I'm alright. Thanks for making sure though. I promise no more scares or frights, though, my grimoire was going bonkers with the sword.

He unhooks his satchel to examine his book of spells and sure enough with all that glowing, came a few new spells that were still being inscribed into his navy and silver grimoire which had snowflakes covering the spine of his cover.

Tyrus: As I figured, I've gotten a few new spells at my disposal. I'm not sure what they do yet, but I'll figure them out soon enough. Hey what's Nero near?

Everyone takes their focus off of him as they see what the anti-bird is up to. It stays near what appears to be a mini vault.

Asta: Okay? What about it- OW OW OW OW!

Nero goes to peck Asta in the head as if to say "Look in the vault, you damn moron". While he screams, Klaus looks at Mars's grimoire intently, examining every detail of it.

Klaus: His grimoire.... and what a singular one at that. It's all patched together, interesting. Yuno received the Four Leaf Grimoire, meanwhile his brother that wields ice magic seemingly got a new weapon that called out to him and he has a three leaf grimoire, that seems limitless in its potential. Meanwhile the short one got one so dirty and unrecognizable, how it's even considered a grimoire is beyond me... I guess you can never judge a book by its cover.

Luck: Anything good here? Tyrus legitmately got a sword that's crazy powerful and I want to fight him with it.

Tyrus: Fat chance, I don't know what the hell type of power I'm dealing with! Why do you think I screamed?

Klaus: WHAT?!

The grimoire in his possession glows intensely as it escapes Klaus's grip and flies straight out of the dungeon. Luck picks up on this and like everyone else realizes something is seriously wrong.

Tyrus: T-There's no way!

Luck: EVERYONE GET BACK HE'S NOT DONE!

Tyrus looks at a darkened structure across from two people and that's when his heart sinks. Mimosa and Noelle are in the path.

Tyrus: MIMOSA, NOELLE GET OUT OF THE WAY!

An explosion destroys the rest of the dungeon door and enter a newly reinvigorated and irate Mars enters the treasure hall, with an even more massive crystal suit, one of his eyes black and red. With one step, he sends crystals from all directions, trapping the lot of Yuno, Klaus and Luck with the other three somehow getting spared.

Klaus: IMPOSSIBLE! My binding spell was... broken?! He was unconscious and injured by those two commoners, so how is he already back? And recovered in such a short amount of time?! Wait-

He spots within the armor, flames surrounding the body and neck of Mars.

Klaus: Is that flame recovery magic? But how! Mages no matter how powerful, can have only one magical attribute... The four elements fire, water, earth and wind. And mages imbued with mana from one of these, interact with each other in specific ways. Fire is strong against wind but weak towards water magical attributes. It is a known law that a mage can wield only one magical attribute stemming from one of the four elements or its deriatives. Yet in defiance, he's wielding two different magical attributes. And while he clearly commands attack magic, he can cast recovery magic too? Are those jewels the source of his power... INCONCEIVABLE!

Girl: Mars, I know you're going to be a wonderful warrior.... I'm sorry Mars, but this is the only way to end this... YOU HAVE TO DIE.

Noelle readies her wand, hoping to put out Mars' recovery magic. However in a split second with the most malevolent and sadistic face, Mars revs back and cracks Noelle with a back fist, laden with his suits power, horrifying Mimosa and everyone else for that matter as she lands with terrible thud.

Mimosa: NOELLE'S BEEN HIT!

Tyrus: NOELLE, SHIT! YOU SON OF A BITCH!

Tyrus rushes over to his Black Bulls squadmate and holds her body, which her chest and abdomen having a critical hit as evident with the blood spurting.

Tyrus: NOELLE, TALK TO ME! COME ON, STAY WITH ME!

Asta: NOELLE!

She begins to stir, notifying everyone she was hurt badly but not dead, allowing Tyrus to breathe a massive sigh of relief as he delicately set the royal down, his eyes narrowed to a deadly glint over Mars's direction.

Tyrus: I'm fucking done with you..... you just couldn't take your loss like a man. You nearly killed my friend, and trapped the others. Forget mercy, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! Mimosa, come heal Noelle please, I'm taking out the trash once and for all!

Mimosa sensed the ice cold fury coming from Tyrus, it was the same feeling when he had cleaned Klaus's clock. It wasn't directed at her, she hadn't done anything to incur his wrath. His call to her was one of plea and helplessness.

Mimosa: Yes, yes of course!

They trade places as his ice magic radiates off of him as he and Asta, sword drawn for the latter as they bull-rushed Mars.

Asta: HOW DARE YOU HURT MY FRIEND! DAMN YOU!!!

Mars smirks as the two rush him, he smacks Tyrus who is just barely able to put a barrier up before being sent into a near stash of gold coins as he looks at Asta.

Mars: I finally figured out what your ability is, boy! You can nullify any type of magic with that sword of yours. Nifty little trick, but... what if the magic is faster than you!

Multiple blades circlulate and spin around with malicious fury as Asta deflects them, Tyrus rejoining the fight as he helps knocks the blades off course.

Tyrus: As if I'd let you take on this maniac alone, let's put him down... FOR GOOD!

Asta: RIGHT!

They continue to cut through the buzzsaw but still exhausted from their previous fight with Mars, both boys were realizing they were being outpaced by the blades he kept sending relentlessly. They kept them batting them around but a few finally broke their guard cutting them at various points.

Asta: AHHHH!

Tyrus: DAMN IT! They're too damn fast!

This was the opening Mars was looking for as he rares back a fist, hitting Asta, who just barely gets his sword up as a defense. It works somewhat as he sent back into a wall with the golden seal where Nero was previously seen.

Tyrus: Asta!

Mars: I wouldn't worry about your comrade boy!

He spits venomously as throws a fist his way, Tyrus dodging with a combination of grace and desperation.

Tyrus: He's my brother and rival but you're right. I should be worrying about which part of the base I'M GOING TO MOUNT YOUR FUCKING HEAD IN!

Mars roars as he sends a flurry of even more blades the ice mage's way, who uses his daggers and gauntlets to reflect each blade back despite a few breaking through and cutting and slicing him, most notably on his arms, face and shoulders.

Mars: You're quite adept with weapons in the defensive aspect. You deflected the ones that should have killed you and have taken the ones that have otherwise given you superficial and non-fatal wounds.

Tyrus: I'm quite full of surprises, diamond-head! Believe me, I'm just getting started. You ready, punk?

Mars gets suddenly stricken with a flashback to that same girl as he sees nothing but blood red.

Girl: Are you ready, Mars?

He approaches Tyrus who gets back into his defensive guard, ready to evade for his life as much as his legs would allow him. Meanwhile, Nero pecks at Asta's head as he wakes up to see a second sword which like his current one, is smaller in size and design.

Mars: Only those who are strong will live, those who are weak deserve nothing more than death.

Tyrus having dodged as best as he could, realizes now he's backed up to Noelle and Mimosa.

Tyrus: Shit, not good. He wanted me to back up into Mimosa and Noelle, he wants to take us all out in one go before he settles up on taking out the rest of them. Mimosa, how badly is she hurt?

Mimosa: They are worse than what I suffered when he ambushed Klaus, Yuno and I. I believe she may have a few fractured ribs, but she hasn't said that so I'm looking on the upside for now. But there's no time for Dream Healing Flower Cradle, I'll have to pull something far more advanced.

Tyrus: If you can do it, then do it! All of us are getting out of here alive, come hell or high water!

Klaus: We're not done yet! Don't give up you three! Cheery Berserker, Yuno. Are you having any luck getting out yet?

Mimosa summons a more powerful healing spell as her grimoires flips a few pages.

Mimosa: Plant Recovery Magic: Princess Healing Flower Robe! Stay strong for me Noelle!

Tyrus: I'll do the best I can Mimosa... It's my fault this Diamond clown backed me up into you! You just focus on healing Noelle!

A plant-like garb forms around Mimosa's head and Golden Dawn attire as the bright green associated with her spell continues to heal her cousin. A flashback plays in her mind back to when they were kids playing on the Vermillion Estate, and she had tripped with Noelle even a little bratty back then offering to help her up. She also remembers when people were doting on her gifts but harping on Noelle's inability to control hers and another instance where she healed a servant's nasty open cut.

Noelle (Flashback): People of our class have always looked down on others who put in the effort, hard work or are otherwise powerless. To us everything should be given and easily at that.

Mimosa: But you've always worked hard to be accepted and I have always admired you, Noelle! SO PLEASE KEEP FIGHTING!

Mars continues to relentlessly send cycle after cycle of spinning blades after Tyrus in an effort to make him slip up, but protecting his teammate and cousin seemed to had reinvigorate him as he furiously deflected each blade, not even caring if his body was getting sliced down.

Tyrus: YOU WON'T GET NEAR THEM, YOU'LL DIE BEFORE I LET YOU LAY A HAND ON NOELLE AND MIMOSA!

Slowly but surely, Noelle's wounds begins to disappear and just she was completely healed, Tyrus suffers a devastating hit that drives him back and lands with a thud, with Mimosa and Noelle now exposed to whatever hellacious intentions Mars had in store for the royals.

Mimosa: Tyrus, no!

Mars: Only those who are strong shall survive, the weak... deserve DEATH. And you two are the embodiment of weak! Now die-

Asta: HAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Asta finally returns destroying the blades meant to kill the cousins royal. More were sent his way when Tyrus joined him and began destroying more of the death spinners.

Tyrus: THIS IS THE BEST YOU CAN DO?! FIND SOMETHING NEW TO HIT US WITH!

Everyone is stunned to find Asta, with said sword previously mentioned with Tyrus already up and seeking more punishment apparently.

Mars: Where did that sword come from?!

Asta: I TOLD YOU.... TO LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!

Tyrus: If you wanted a rematch, you could have just said that!

Asta: Your new opponents-

A side by side split of Asta and Tyrus's faces are shown..

Asta and Tyrus: ARE US!

Tyrus: Round two starts now! COME AND GET IT YOU BEJEWELED CLOWN!

He draws his new sword, looking at Asta as they dash towards the newly dangerous and re-energized Mars. He started by firing off more blade cyclones as they made a beeline for the brothers.

Tyrus: Enough with this move, you one-trick pony! RAHHHHH!

Asta: HAHHHHHHHH!

Mars grits his teeth as the brothers spring up to a platform and prepare for a double slash, which connect but Asta's strike only draws a little blood and chips a tad of his armor before the flame recovery magic sets in healing his wound incredibly quick.

Tyrus: Don't act like that didn't hurt. Slash by slash we're taking that damn armor of yours down!

Mars: BEGONE YOU LITTLE BOYS!

He cocks back one of his fists, sending both boys flying with them being driven back right in front of Mimosa and Noelle.

Tyrus: Those flames are going to be tough to take down. We can chip him down as much we'd like but in all likelihood, we'd just be tiring ourselves out Asta.

Asta: Ha-ha-haaaaaaaa You don't gotta tell me that, but we can still bust through his attacks. He's starting to get frustated, I can tell!

Tyrus: Nothing's ever easy, is it? Why should it start now then, we knew what we were getting into when we three dreamed of becoming the Wizard King!

Noelle: Why are you two insects just standing there for and beating him?

Tyrus and Asta look back to find Noelle, slightly less injured but no longer on the brink of death as in her own way she tries to motivate them.

Tyrus: Noelle, you're okay! Damn you for making me worry like that!

Mimosa: Please don't strain yourself, Noelle! I may have healed your more critical injuries but you can't move too fast!

Asta: You're finally awake!

Noelle: Listen to me, both of you... I.... Am... Royalty! And you two, Tyrus and Asta.... are the first commoners I have ever acknowledged or accepted!

Tyrus closes his eyes not wanting to allow himself to tear up at her rallying words, as Asta stays frozen at her acknowledgement. She musters enough energy to get up on her elbows as she opens her eyes.

Noelle: Now get moving you two, and you better not even think about giving up. Not until you at least beat him! Understand me?

Tyrus: Yes, ma'am. We'll get it down for you and everyone here!

Suddenly Asta's glow a brilliant white and blue!

Tyrus: Holy crap, Asta your sword!

Asta: You ready, Ty?

Tyrus practices a few slashing and dashing cuts as he looks at him with a renewed vigor.

Tyrus: You damn right! Let's end this you Diamond wedged bastard!

Asta: We'll bring him down you guys, don't you even worry about it!

Tyrus: After what he pulled, I'll get a couple of stabs and cuts in for you Noelle! Think of it as indirect revenge.

Mars: Give up, you two can't win! I LIVE to destroy the weak!

Tyrus: Yeah I decline on giving up... You're going to have break every bone and squeeze every last drop of blood out of my body and even then, I WOULDN'T QUIT!

Asta: AND YOU'RE NOT DESTROYING US! I MAY HAVE NOT ANY MAGIC POWER, BUT THAT'S OKAY! BECAUSE WHAT I DO HAVE-

Yuno: TYRUS! ASTA!

Asta: ARE MY BROTHERS AND FRIENDS!

Tyrus: NOW TAKE YOUR LOSS LIKE A MAN! WITH THIS ONE SLASH, WE WIN! ICE MAGIC: COSMIC FLASH!

Tyrus unleashes the power of his new sword with a new attack spell as Asta fires off a torrent slash as well.

Mars: You think those attacks are going to stop or defeat me?!

He puts his guard up but the new sword's blast stuns him whereas Asta's slash pushes Mars back, suit of armor and all!

Klaus: Wait! How is that possible! I didn't think the non-magic boy had any to him.

Luck: A water based slashing spell? Wait did Noelle- no did Asta borrow some of Noelle's magic?!

Klaus: Just what in the world is that sword and what does it do?!

Tyrus: Hah-hah-ha.... stay down this time diamond head-AHHHHH!

Asta: Tyrus?

Much to his horror, Tyrus was collapsing and that's when he noticed it.... somewhere in the middle their attacks, Mars launched last second attacks before he got blasted back, and crystal shards had been wedged deep into both their abdomens, the rest not even knowing where they came from. Tyrus fell flat on his back and soon, Asta found himself falling down only opposite of his brother.

Asta: BLUGGHHH! I'm dead... Ty and I didn't even see his attack coming.

Noelle: What's happening? Why are they both falling?

Yuno's face darkened as he just witnessed both Asta and Tyrus suffered what were mostly certainly fatal wounds. Blood was beginning to pool around Tyrus but his wound wasn't nearly as stomach churning as Asta's.

Noelle: TYRUS, ASTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Continuing to the next episode! Yeah, for my long track viewers, another long chapter!)

Asta: BLUGGHHH! I'm dead... Ty and I didn't even see his attack coming.

Noelle: They've both been hit..... ASTA, TYRUS!!!!!!!!!! Mimosa, I'm healed forget about me, please go heal them!

Mimosa: Alright, sure!

Mimosa, still in her healing robe rushes over and does her best to drag Tyrus closer to Asta so that she can heal the both of them. Noelle's heart skips a beat as she worries about both of her teammates' conditions especially how they were so quick to jump to her aid when she got severely wounded.

Mimosa: Tyrus, Asta? Can any one of you two hear me!

Tyrus: Nghhh- Not so loud, kinda trying not to die here, Lady Vermillion.

Mimosa: It's okay, I'm here. I'll do the best I can for you and Asta.

Tyrus tried to speak through ragged breaths.

Tyrus: I'm not as bad as it looks.... focus most-most of you ef-forts on As-ta... Please.

Mimosa: I'm going to heal you both, don't you even think of dying on me. Asta's wounds though, can I even heal with the magic power I have left?

His eyes close making Mimosa fear the worst but she breathes a sigh of relief when she sees him exhaling softly.

Yuno begins shouting, begging and imploring his foster brothers to wake up.

Yuno: Asta, Tyrus! I beg you to open your damn eyes you two!

Klaus: COME ON YOU DAMN BRATS! WHERE WAS ALL THAT ARROGANCE YOU SHOWED BEFORE?!

Luck: You two can't die before we fight! Especially you, Asta, let Mimosa heal you and wake up!

Noelle: Asta, Tyrus... Please!

Mimosa: You two can do it, you just have to keep fighting! Do you both hear me?!

While he's not on the conscious side of things, Mars can still register the voice of the Vermillion royal as he's dreaming. In this dream we see a much younger version of the berserker, without those signature diamonds embedded in his head as he's got a few threatening tears in his eyes as a young girl calls out to him.

Girl: Mars... is our training starting to get to you?

Mars: No...

Girl: When things get tough, just close your eyes and think about the people you love. That's what I do. And that's why we're here. To become the best warriors so that we can protect our country.

He smiles at the girl as the dream ends while he slowly regains consciousness.

Girl: Once we get strong, we can protect not only our kingdom but the people we love too, Mars. That's when we get to leave this place! Do you think you'll be the first one out of here? I do. Because, how can you not be, you're the strongest here, we all know it.

Mars: If I get out... I'll wait for you. I promise you

Girl: Of course! We'll go see the outside world together, Mars. I know it.

However, those their superiors had much crueler and sadistic plans.

Judge: Here is your final test... A fight. TO THE DEATH! Only the last one standing shall be declared the winner and be granted their freedom but also the honor and role of being a mage in our prestigious Diamond Kingdom forces. Any who refuse will be killed on the spot.

The minutes go on like hours as kid after kid dies like a fly going into a bug zapper. Blood and chunks were spilled everywhere, magic was thrown everywhere. Mars and the girl he had talked to the previous day, she was revealed to be the last one standing on the girls side of this hellacious and otherwise sadistic free-for-all.

Girl: Mars....

We then learn the girl's name who's attribute is that of fire.

Mars: Fana...

Fana: I'm sorry but to win.... I must kill you. I'm sorry, my friend.... now die.

They collide in a short battle but ultimately Mars comes out on top as his crystal magic impales Fana to near perfected fatal cuts. After being judged as the one to be the Diamond Kingdom's newest guinea pig for all intents and purposes. Mars mourns the loss of his only friend who he was forced to kill for freedom and the chance to serve his country.

Mars: I-I don't need anyone.... as powerful as I am. I will never need anyone.

He looks down at Mimosa as she continues to heal the severely wounded Asta and Tyrus, pure contempt and vitriol etched into his face. How he let two kids, teenagers, beat him not once but now technically twice, they needed to pay for their arrogance.

Mars: Those who don't have power, are weak. Those that think they ever have a chance against my magic... are WEAK! AND THE WEAK DIE!

Everyone stands in shock as Mars once again stands him, his flame burning even more intensely than ever.

Klaus: Impossible!

Luck: He can still move.... after everything they did to him?

Mars: GIVE UP! YOU CANNOT WIN. YOU TWO PATHETIC, HELPLESS CHILDREN NEVER STOOD A CHANCE AGAINST ME!

He raises his giant arm ready to extinguish all of Mimosa, Tyrus and Asta's life forces in one go as another giant dual-tipped sword forms. Yuno, sensing that his teammate and brothers were now in grave danger, desperately tried to fight his bondages.

Yuno: No, Tyrus! Asta!

Klaus: This is our chance! Asta's last slash disabled his recovery magic... We can finish him off with one decisive attack!

Luck: I'm almost there... A little more and I can break through this binding spell.

Mars: NOW DIE!

The blade comes down on the three but just then, a gust of wind explodes from Yuno as he finally breaks from his bondages in a last desperate to save Mimosa, Asta and Tyrus.

Yuno: HANG ON YOU THREE! ASTA, TYRUS, WAKE UP YOU TWO! No matter which spell I pull out, it'll be too late, Mimosa, Tyrus and Asta are going to be killed! I CAN'T LET THEM DIE, I WON'T LET THEM DIE. THEY ARE MY RIVALS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY.... THEY ARE MY BROTHERS! YOU WON'T DIE LIKE THIS!

In response to his heightened emotions, Yuno's grimoire begins glowing profusely and time stops.... the only one aware of this now is the Golden Dawn male as he looks around everyone. Klaus is seemingly saying 'NO' in response to Mimosa, Tyrus and Asta about to get axed, Luck seemingly emitting the same emotion, Noelle crying tears of fear as her cousin nevermind her trusted teammates were about to die and Mimosa stood in shock and the sword about to cleave Yuno's brothers in half. Yuno looks around as he eyes bug out to see a little fairy yawning, rubbing her eyes as she then takes a look at the person responsible from freeing from the scroll. Then without explanation, she uses what appears to be a gust of green wind that hits Mars's sword which shatters into nothingness and being brought back to the present time, heavy winds shatter Mars's armor to also nonexistence as he slams into the wall, knocked out for the final time.

Klaus: What just happened? Did Yuno finally beat that monster?

The binding spells around the treasure hall wear off, releasing Luck and Klaus from the body prisons as Klaus runs over to his subordinate.

Klaus: Yuno! What did you do?!

Luck: No kidding! What kind of magic was that?!

Yuno: I-I'm not so sure myself....

He explains to the two that he saw this... fairy like creature that trapped him in a time space and essentially did all the work.

Klaus: You must be exhausted, Yuno. We can talk about this later. There'll be plenty of time. He's down for the count, you did good.

Yuno looks to see a new page of spells taking over his grimoire, realizing it's from the same scroll he examined earlier when they first entered the treasure hall. Mimosa, checking to make sure Tyrus and Asta were still breathing, witnesses his grimoire flip several pages as his new sword takes refuge in it, signaling it had a new owner as his spell book was filling up with new spells as well! Then-

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!

The treasure hall begins to crumble to fall apart as Klaus remarks lazily.

Klaus: Well... that's just great. A trap spell?!

Yuno: The sealing is caving in on us.... Mimosa, are they nearly healed?

Mimosa: I've healed Tyrus's injuries. He's still unconscious and I'm focusing in on Asta!

Noelle: We need to get out of here, like now!

Yuno: Celestial Wind Ark! Everybody, get on now!

Klaus is the first to get on helping an unconscious Tyrus, with Luck activating his Holy Lightning Boots and picking up Asta with Mimosa's help and Noelle getting on last, holding Tyrus's new weapon in her lap.

Yuno: Alright, Mimosa look after Tyrus and Asta!

Mimosa: Consider it done.

She summons her magical power to continue healing Asta, Tyrus's injuries now significantly healed and gone from an appearance stand point as Noelle looks on worriedly at the dark-skinned individual.

Noelle: Tyrus... please you and Asta hang in there. I don't even care about these stupid feelings whatever they may be for you. But I can't lose you. Not when you've become my first true friend and comrade alongside Bakasta.

Asta: We have to- help him....

Mimosa: Please, don't strain yourself Asta. You're way too injured!

Asta: We can't.... just leave him.

Klaus: Are you insane, he tried to kill you and you brother just recently. Not to mention all of us well!

Asta: We... were sent here to... protect the dungeon's treasures. To keep the things you value safe. Not to kill.

He stops talking passing out, yet again. Noelle looks at Yuno as he nods to get the wind vehicle construct moving.

Luck: He's right though, it'd be a shame to lose such a great fighter you know!

Yuno does his best to avoid to falling blocks, a couple falling down on Mars, seemingly killing him on impact. Luck acts a navigator, telling Yuno to take a right, a left and after a combo defensive spell to aid, Yuno blitzed straight ahead to the exit getting out with medium difficulty, thanks in large to Noelle, Klaus and Luck's efforts as the words of the battered boys rung out loudly.

Asta: BECAUSE YOU'RE MY FRIEND! You're OUR friend! SO LET US HELP!

Tyrus: Glad you're starting to see the light, ya damn battle-crazy maniac! Teamwork makes the dream work!

Noelle: I will save them!

Mimosa: I won't let you two die!

Noelle: We will get them out of here alive!

Both girls get mental pictures of their burgeoning crushes as they continued to fight their previous life and death battles with Mars.

Klaus: Keep fighting you two!

Yuno: There's our exit! HANG ONTO SOMETHING TIGHT EVERYONE!

The dungeon and castle collapse on themselves just as Celestial Wind Ark burst from the massive dust cloud.

Noelle: We made it out!

Mimosa: That was too close...

Luck: Well that was fun.

Klaus: You truly are a lunatic...

Yuno: Let's head that way, I see a clearing we can set Tyrus and Asta down in.

As they left, Lotus admires the handiwork and destruction his quote on quote pupil had caused.

Lotus: Excellent, I'm saved and I made out with a king's ransom thanks to them clearing that path out for me. Of course it helps that none of them could even see me. Hermit's Thick Smoke makes it very useful. Right under their noses, I was able to help myself to whatever I wanted and a not single one of them noticed. Well anyway, many thanks go to you. Truly a blessing you didn't die back there. Would've been a real shame.

Girl: Mars....

We then learn the girl's name who's attribute is that of fire.

Mars: Fana...

Fana: I'm sorry but to win.... I must kill you. I'm sorry, my friend.... now die.

They collide in a short battle but ultimately Mars comes out on top as his crystal magic impales Fana to near perfected fatal cuts. After being judged as the one to be the Diamond Kingdom's newest guinea pig for all intents and purposes. Mars mourns the loss of his only friend who he was forced to kill for freedom and the chance to serve his country.

Mars: Why, Fana? Why did you have to leave me?

He looks to the ceiling as a gentle hand touches his face, flames warming his scars and his body up.

Mars: But... your wounds.

Fana: I had to do it Mars.

Her hands leaves his face as the fire goes out and her body crumples to the side, bringing to an end a tortured soul and life as Mars cried.

Mars: FANNAAAAA!

His eyes open as he comes back to the real world.

Mars: Fana......

Lotus: Ohhhh, finally waking up back there Mars?

Mars: Lotus? Where are we?

Lotus: Marvelous work you did back there kid.... We got all the treasure I was looking for! And it was all thanks to you. Think of all the food this will feed our people back home. My daughters will be eating well like queens.

He looks to the setting sun as his eyes widened as his memories flood back. The moment and aftermath of him being forced to kill Fana to her telling to go see the outside world for the both of them as he held his promise. He looked back at his rescuer.

Mars: Lotus... you saved me back there. Thank you. Truly.

Lotus: Well now that's a surprise... you can actually say thank you. This day was just full of surprises!

(With the Bulls and Golden Dawn.)

Asta and Tyrus seemingly in concert, awaken at the same time with the latter exclaiming loudly...

Tyrus: OW OW OW! My ribs!

Everyone breathes a sigh of relief as they wake up from their mini-comas.

Asta: Hey, everyone.

Tyrus: Did we miss anything?

Yuno: Asta, Tyrus.

Noelle: Hey, you two.

Mimosa: Welcome back.

Klaus flicks his glasses up as only the noble could, relieved but not actually speaking the words.

Luck: You guys woke up! Does that mean you wanna-

Tyrus: Maybe in a week... you know what? Make that a month. I'm surprised I can even move my muscles.

Mimosa: Try not to move so suddenly you two! I could only heal your superficial wounds and blood loss that was on the outside.

Asta: That would explain... why I feel like a horse just caved my chest in then.

Noelle: You did it to yourselves... acting like complete idiots.

Tyrus: Still got you to acknowledge these two idiots, Noelle. I may have been falling, but I heard you screaming like a maniac. But in all seriousness, it's thank to you and Mimosa's quick thinking that we're even alive. So again.... thank you both.

Noelle's brain begins to have a meltdown as she blushes profusely.

Mimosa: That was very close you two... I'm surprised you both recovered that quickly.

Yuno: Their sturdiness is about the only they have going for them- Well Asta really.

Tyrus: I'm going to remember that next time you're getting beat on like a punching bag, Yuno. As if I was going to die, I just like seeing you scared.

Asta: Be nice to the injured guys. I may not be a lady killer like you or Tyrus. But I have plenty of other good qualities---OUCH MMMMM...

Tyrus: So you're just going to ignore the part when Mimosa said try not to move so suddenly? You're about as hardheaded as a turtles' shell.

Mimosa: I'm so sorry Asta! I didn't have enough magical power to finish healing your wounds. Think of it more like first aid, so you're going to need plenty of bed rest. Same for you Tyrus.

Tyrus: You won't get any resistance from me. It feels like I went twelve rounds with Luck.

Luck: Besides you can't die before we fight Asta!

Asta: Not a chance Luck! Let me heal and I'll give you a fight to remember. Especially not until I beat you two and become the Wizard King!

Tyrus: Not happening.

Yuno: Poor Asta and Tyrus... I am going to become the Wizard King.

Tyrus: You got a better chance marrying Sister Lily before that happens, Yuno.

Asta: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!

Tyrus: I didn't stutter. NEHHHH!

They both get up and use Yuno as a crutch.

Yuno: Did I give you two permission to use me as a crutch?

Tyrus: Oh shut up. You owe us a favor after we saved ya from Sergeant Sprinkles the first time.

Asta: Just a few seconds that's all.

Klaus: Yuno. Tyrus. Asta.

He walks up to the three brothers.

Yuno: Klaus, Sir?

Tyrus: So that's your name? What's up then?

Klaus: I have something to say.....

He wraps his arms around the trio and began blubbering.

Klaus: I'm so very sorry!

To say they were shocked was an understatement. As were Noelle, Mimosa and Luck.

Klaus: I rejected you three because you weren't of Royal or Noble blood. And for that, I am ashamed for my actions! You three are exemplary Magic Knights of the Clover Kingdom! The order should be very proud to have rookies like you!

Yuno: Um, sir?

Klaus: Yes?

Tyrus: Still in pain here.

Asta: Still hurting over here too, Sir Spectacles.

He unintentionally pushes Tyrus down as Klaus pushes back after Asta spewed some blood on his robe.

Klaus: Not that name again! After everything I just said, no less! You truly are deplorable and don't know when to quit.

Tyrus: Nope... and I wouldn't have the idiot any other way.

Mimosa: Too serious is Klaus's nature.

Luck: Hey Yuno, how about we spar right here, right now?

Yuno: I'll pass.

Luck: Aww come on!

Tyrus: Hey Noelle....

Noelle looks at him as she wonders what he wants.

Tyrus: Your dress... it's kinda, how do I say this?

He makes a few slicing noises as she looks down to see her nearly exposed breasts, no doubt the aftermath from the injuries suffered at the hands of Mars.

Noelle: UNH UNH UNH! GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Klaus comedically suffers a nosebleed spell as Noelle tries to cover up as she inadvertently jumps down on his ribs.

Tyrus: AHHHH!

He passes out.

Luck: Oh no, Tyrus died.

Mimosa: Tyrus, oh my goodness!

She rushes over to heal him and bring him back from the brink of death.

Noelle: Oh no! I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention! What did I do?! Hang in there, please wake up!

The rest of the males rush over to see if he's still breathing. Mimosa does the work and not even twenty seconds later, the ice mage regains his faculties. He looks up to find the cousins standing over him as he weakly smiles. Noelle stands relieved, but her look quickly sours as she realizes what he's more than likely looking at intentionally or unintentionally.

Noelle: And what are you looking at, creep?

She slaps him repeatedly making the others laugh at his misfortune.

Tyrus: OW, OW, OW, OW! I'M SORRY, UNCLE, UNCLE UNNNNNNNCCLLLLLEEEEE!

Tyrus then gets up feeling his cheeks burn with the intensity of one hundred suns on a hot summer day as he looks up at Asta and Yuno, the fact they survived another day in the duty of Magic Knights finally under their belts much to their surprise.

Final Word Count: 8,851 Words. YOU ALREADY KNOW THE DRILL AND VIBES, HIT THE STAR! COMMENT! Yeah yeah I know Diddy and Bus I'm trying to tell them to follow the boi.

End of Chapter Thirteen, Conclusion to the Dungeon Arc.... Next? A sibling throwdown! Asta and Tyrus vs the Silva Siblings!
