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 became legend.

When the Black Bulls hideout was put under siege due to the antics of the Eye of the Midnight Sun members Rades, Sally and Valtos. The remaining Magic Knights of the Squad, Gauche, Gordon and Grey found themselves with some unique help emanating from the base.

Henry: But I've gotten to know each and every one of you very well with time. And even though you never realized it, you all have been keeping me alive for a long time now. I suppose we've never been properly introduced... but you're my cherished friends.... Anyway... you... all can call... me... Henry. Henry Legolant.

Introducing himself as the very first member of the Black Bulls, the sickly Henry aided his friends and teammates in repelling Rades, Sally and Valtos shortly before the latter retrieved the Magic Stone and returned it to Licht, enigmatic and mysterious leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun who announced to his subjects he would be going after the two remaining stones.

Licht: I appreciate you all so willing to serve me... but you've done more than to help. I shall retrieve the last two stones on my own.

Valtos: I understand... forgive us for being so brazen, Master.

Licht: You do not need to be forgiven, dear friends. Take the opportunity to get some rest, please, I insist. There's no need to worry, I will handle this in my own way.

Meanwhile the Royal Knights invaded the Gravitos Stone, in the hopes of severing the head right off of the serpent as they decimated forces left and right.

Mereoleona: This is the end of the line for you, Eye of the Midnight Sun. How you wish to die is up to you.

Nozel: You'll pay and you'll pay with your lives, right now!

They think about Fuegoleon, how they both grew up with him as brother on one end and respected rival on the other side.

Nozel: THIS IS FOR MY RIVAL!

Mereoleona: THIS IS FOR MY YOUNGER BROTHER!

FUEGOLEON!

MAKE NO MISTAKE, YOUR LEADER'S HEAD WILL BE MINE!

Meanwhile throughout all of the shenanigans.... Mereoleona's Royal Knights were raiding the Eye of the Midnight Sun's base, in the hopes of locating and assassinating the aforementioned Licht. And one of the signature member of the terrorist organization, the Third Eye's Rhya the Disloyal sensed all the disturbing mana flows in the air and decided to finally make his move.

Rhya: Well now, seems we've got a real tricky bunch on our hands. Seeing as Licht isn't around, I guess I take things from here.

He tussles his hair, revealing his third eye.

Rhya: Heh. This is going to be a pain, just not for me. Well, maybe just a bit, oh well time to suck it up like a big boy.

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

Midnight Sun Mages: AHHHHHHHHH! His power.... so intense!

Two mages struggle against the mighty Silver Eagles captain Nozel Silva as he casts another one of his signature Mercury spells.

Nozel: Did you fools think you were liable to escape me? Allow me to quell such inane thoughts. Mercury Magic, Silver Bullets!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nozel: And now, Silver Blades!

Clang! BANG! THWANG! AHH! NOO! OOF!

A myriad of swords break the mages guards as they are then sent hurtling into the walls.

Midnight Sun Mage: Have a taste of this power!

This particular summons a massive rock arm as Nozel lazily yet angrily summons another attack spell.

Nozel: Silver Shining Regal Spear!

Completing decimating the arm as he then brings it down hurtling on the elusive cockroaches that were Licht's underlings.

En: He makes it looks so easy.... as if the Captain were up against a bunch of rookies.

Nils: I don't think I've ever seen Sir Nozel this determined or rage-induced before!

En: Your captain is amazing, no question about it.

Nozel: According to the information and intel I've gathered, that spatial mage has the forced habit of venturing out of this fortress every day at the same time. That time is now. We currently have our own Spatial Mage outside in the Wizard King's assistant Cob Portaport, casting his unique Spatial Jamming Spell. That alone should prevent any other mages from entering the Midnight Sun's base. Get ready, Licht. Your time of penance and mine for avenging Fuegoleon will soon be at hand! And I swear, I will NOT leave this place until Mereoleona and I have your head.

On another end, Nozel's cousin Kirsch as well as his baby sister Noelle were on their own hunt for the Midnight Sun as the Vermillion activated his magic.

Kirsch: Go Cherry Blossom Magic, Raging Magic Cherry Blossom Storm of Petals! And add my beautiful illusions!

Midnight Sun Mage: Gahhh? What the hell type of spell is that?!

Kirsch: I was an arrogant man, but I have since casted that aside along with my luscious hair. This noble sacrifice has allowed my already great magic to increase in potency and accuracy which means that the rest of you will finally have a chance to shine more fully!

Noelle: Geez.... thank you so much, Cousin Kirsch. WAIT, NO YOU HAVE A TWISTED SENSE OF WHAT BEAUTY IS, YOU DOLT! Sit back and learn, Water Creation Magic, Sea Dragon's Waterball!

BOOOOOOOM! GAHHHHHHHHH!

Ben: Nice one, LET ME IN ON THIS, YOUR HIGHNESS! COPPER MAGIC, RED SHINING MACE! HYAAAHHHHHH!

The Crimson Lion King forms a giant club, and then proceeds to bring it down bludgeoning the already dazed mages from Noelle's attack as she looks on amused.

Noelle: Ben, was it? Congratulations on making into the Royal Knights, you should be proud that you're on a team laden with royalty. Especially given my team wiped the floor with you.

Ben: Real classy, taking the time to brag about a throwaway match in the exam. Trust me, I haven't forgotten what that teammate of yours did. Tyrus, was his name right? For an ice mage, he sure is a real firecracker. Besides if I recall correctly it was he and Yuno that beat us fair and square while they left you and that other teammate of yours in the dust.

Upon hearing her newly minted boyfriend's name, Noelle began stammering as she demanded Ben shut up.

Noelle: I- Who cares about the details?!

Ben: I'm putting my all into this attack. As a member of the Crimson Lion Kings, I know what happens to those Magic Knights stupid enough to disappoint Captain Mereoleona!

From the Petal Storm would emerge Luck, all sparked up and ready to go.

Luck: Lightning Magic, Thunder Fiend!

ZAPPPP! AHHHH! ZAPP! OOF! BOOOM!

Luck: Aww man... I'm in heaven! Too bad Magna's not here, he'd love killing all of these clowns, oh well I'll just double up on the fun and brag to him later!

He dances around the battlefield as Kirsch soaks it in.

Kirsch: Is it not beautiful?

Noelle: Yeah..... Hope you're okay, Tyrus.

Tyrus: Damn... that couldn't have been all of these bottom of the barrel scum bitches.

Tyrus returns to his set of Golden Dawn teammates as his Frost Frenzy had worn off and behind them a stack of broken and unconscious bodies.

Bell: You couldn't save some for my Yuno?!

Tyrus: Ahh, Yuno doesn't care. I can see it in his face, Wind Spirit.

Bell: Whatever, there could be a stack of them, and all of 'em would still be wimps.

Yuno: Let's keep it moving you two.

Tyrus: First sensible thing you said today, Yuno. You guys ready back there?

Mimosa: Of course, we're right behind you and Yuno.

Before the three along with Klaus and Hamon begin to leave, one of the mages stirs from the beating he endured from Tyrus.

Midnight Sun Mage: I-it's n-n-no... use.

Tyrus: What isn't?

Mage: Ha! The outcome has already been decided.

Bell: Oh yeah, you throwin' in the towel already?!

Kuraokami: Please, you're no warrior. Just another coward who skates by on luck.

Tyrus: Quiet you two.

Mage: W-We'll be reborn soon! You'll see... your efforts will be in vain. And then.... we shall assume our true forms!

Mimosa: "Your true forms"? I don't understand what you're talking about.

Tyrus thinks back to what the Queen of Witches said after they had defeated her.

Witch Queen: If you continue to fight the Midnight Sun, unimpeded like you have been. You may yet discover who they are.

Tyrus: Who they are? Hm.....

The mage falls unconscious leaving the Golden Dawn and lone Black Bull mystified, just as Mimosa stumbles upon markings.

Mimosa: Now that I think about it, what is it with all these green markings?

Tyrus: Hmmm.... I don't know. They have some sort of weird inscriptions in all of them, no less.

Mimosa: And the deeper we go, the more of them they appear.

Bell: Hm. You see something Yuno?

Yuno: Just listen.

They all stop talking and do as he asks as they hear what seems like a combination of heartbeats and footsteps.

Yuno: Am I the only person who hears that?

Tyrus: No.... I hear it too. Whatever it is, stay on high alert and exercise extreme caution.

Meanwhile as Tyrus and Yuno played navigator.... Asta and Zora were knee deep with Mereoleona.

Zora: You fucking idiots need to learn how to set better traps. We saw these coming a mile away!

Asta: WHATEVER SPELL YOU THROW AT US, I CAN JUST CANCEL OUT!

Mage: What do we do?!

Mereoleona: Surrender or DIE! It makes no difference to me!

She comes from the top rope, quite literally destroying the surface beneath her and sending the rogue mages flying in separate directions.

Zora: Really?

Asta: SERIOUSLY, I MEAN WHY ARE WE EVEN HERE?! WE CAN FIGHT TOO, CAPTAIN! TAKE A BREAK PLEASE!

Zora then notices immediately something amiss.... there are two of Asta!

Astas: WHAT, WHY ARE THERE TWO OF ME?! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, FAKER?! SINCE WHEN WAS GREY A ROYAL KNIGHT!

Zora: When were you able to pull off a trick like that is the better question? Trick Magic?

Astas: Don't be a jerk, Zora! You know damn well I can't use magic.

Mereoleona: When and where did I give you the order to duplicate yourself, kid?

Astas: I didn't do this myself, Captain, I swear!

Mereoleona: So how do we figure out which one of them is the real knucklehead? They even copied his lack of magic. What about you, other Black Bull. Can you tell them apart?

Zora: I'm just as lost as you are, Lady Royal.

ROAR!

Mereoleona: Then no use to me, you're of!

Asta: TRUST ME, I'M THE REAL ASTA!

Asta: DON'T LISTEN TO THIS CLOWN, CAPTAIN I'M THE REAL ASTA!

Asta: BULLSHIT, YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY A FAKE VERSION OF ME!

Asta: REVERSE BULLSHIT, YOU'RE THE FAKER AND YOU KNOW IT!

Mereoleona: STOP YELLING BOTH OF YOU! Hmmmmm...

She conjures up a small fireball and chucks it at them!

Astas: OHHHHHH! AHHHHH! AHHHH! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT!

Zora: Not the solution I would've went with, but it's one regardless....

Out of the inferno comes the Demon-Slayer Sword as the real Asta emerges, scared and smelling like slightly burnt bacon.

Asta: WHAT THE HELL, CAPTAIN?! YOU COULD'VE KILLED ME!

Mereoleona: So that's the real one, so who was playing the role of imitator?

Asta: Huh?

Mereoleona: You survived a trial by fire, kid. Nicely done. I wouldn't have brought anyone who couldn't.

Asta: Lady is outta control!

Rhya: You got that right, kid. Real spitfire that one, isn't she? Copy Magic, Aqua Curtain.

A wave of water comes from a grimoire as it douses the fire as another spell is enacted.

Rhya: Copy Magic, Healing Light Particles. You my beautiful redhaired dear, are downright terrifying.

Asta: Wait.... I KNOW YOU! I SAW YOU IN NEAN VILLAGE!

Rhya: Sharp eye there, kiddo. I'm who they call Rhya the Disloyal.... but you all can call me Rhya for short to keep things moving. But the pretty lady is free to call me whatever she wants.

Mereoleona: Am I allowed to call you my next victim? Or how about punching bag, does that suit you?

Zora: Don't get too hung up on her looks there, pal. She's a tough nut.

Asta: He's with the Third Eye, Captain. He's one of their most powerful members.

Mereoleona: Oh? Seems amusing.

Asta: Rhya the Disloyal...... You can copy any other magic ability so long as you touch that magic user's grimoire!

Mereoleona: Now that you mention it, I do know who you are.

Asta: HOW DID YOU FORGET ABOUT HIM?!

Zora: Hang on... this guy's oozing a lot of magic power. We're going toe-to-toe with this absolute monster?!

Rhya: Damn shame you're royalty, was hopin' you and I could get a drink sometime.

Mereoleona: Ha! Tell you what, how about I send you to Hell, and you can have all the drinks you want there?!

Rhya: Ooh, you really are scary! No thanks, I've already tasted Hell, had some pretty bad recipes last time I was there. Copy Magic, Dark Cloaked Black Blade.

Asta: Oh no, that's Captain Yami's spell! YOU CAN'T RIP HIM OFF LIKE THAT!

Zora: Pretty sure he just did, Short-Stack.

Rhya: And I hate to break it to you, kid... but copying people's magic is kinda my whole shtick.

Mereoleona: Hah! If he's that easy to mimic, then Yami's got a long way to go!

Rhya: Are you three ready? Just a bit of a heads up, you won't evade this one so easily. I've been working on my Dark Magic alot recently.

Zora: Hey, check out his stance....

Asta: Yeah, just like Captain Yami's as well!

Rhya: Copy Magic, Dark Cloaked Lightless Slash!

Asta and Zora jump completely out of the way, just as Mereoleona digs her foot into the ground, cracking the surface underneath as she calls out her spell, effectively canceling out the fake Yami duplicate attack spell.

Rhya: Interesting.

Asta: She burned up his entire spell with one punch?!

Zora: She's a freak of nature. And he's in trouble.

Mereoleona: Nice copy, but Yami's had a lot more ferocity and power to it. Yours was lacking both areas... work hard on it.

Rhya: Oh yeah, here's-

But just like she had done Asta on Yultim Volcano, the dual-Captain of both the Crimson Lion Kings and Royal Knights intercepted him, almost breaking Rhya's jaw!

Mereoleona: I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT PURE DESTRUCTION LOOKS LIKE, RHYA OF THE THIRD EYE! FLAME MAGIC, CALIDOS BRACHIUM!

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

Rhya: GAHHHHHHHHH!

Mereoleona: You should feel honored.... I AM GOING TO BURN THIS ENTIRE PLACE DOWN IN HONOR OF MY FOOLISH LITTLE BROTHERS WHO YOU DECIDED TO PUT IN THE HOSPITAL AND THE OTHER YOU LAID UP IN A COMA!

Speaking on her siblings, Leopold stands guard of their comatose brother as he continues to recover from his grave injuries.... just as she landed that devastating blow on Rhya and Calidos Brachium consumed him in a giant fireball, Zora remarks at his superior's speed.

Zora: She's moving way too fast... Plus... those fiery fists of hers, they're full of sorts of condensed magic. Simple spell but in the hands of the best mage, they're really effective. She's a greater warrior than any mage I have ever seen in action.

Asta: AWESOOOOMMMMEE! The captain's not even fighting him at a distance, she's giving him all he can handle up close and personal! WAIT, THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA, I BET I CAN LEARN A LOT FROM MISS MEREOLEONA FIGHTS IN CLOSE COMBAT!

They investigate what believe to be the remains of Rhya and the embers of Mereoleona's dying flameball but it quickly dissipates as Rhya appears on the farside.

Rhya: C-Copy Magic... Healing Light Particles.

Asta: Ah, damn it! Healed again! Whatever I'm joining the-

GROWL!

Asta feels the heat of Mereoleona's ki grace his head as she violently flings him back to Zora.

Mereoleona: If you wish to die before you can become Wizard King, then you sit back and watch me kid.

Asta: AHHHHH, no fair!

Rhya: Oh, I see. You're the biggest thorn in my side and not the anti-magic user. However I wouldn't get that cocky if you think you can take me. Given you stole that power from us royal. Copy Magic, Light Swords of Conviction! Heh. I'd like to see Red keep up with this level of speed.

And boy does she ever, as she puts a fist up and begins telegraphing all of the light attacks.

Mereoleona: IS THAT ALL YOU GOT FOR ME? I AM NOT AMUSED THIRD EYE!

Rhya: Her movements, they're almost superhuman in a sense. No human should be able to move that fast!

Asta: Awesome, golly she's incredible! I don't even care if her magic almost set me on fire!

Then like clockwork, Mereoleona disappears and reappears behind Rhya as she nearly dumps him for another devastating blow.

Rhya: Copy Magic, Invisible Seeker!

Phasing completely out of the viewing.

Zora: Geez, talk about copy and paste. Who's spell did he steal this time around?

Asta thinks as it finally dawns.... it's the shamed ex-Purple Orca captain's spell.

Asta: Wait.... that's the ex-Purple Orcas spell! He used that to evade the Wizard King and all the other Magic Knight Captains before I canceled it out!

Rhya: Copy Magic, Aqua Javelin!

But before he could even have a vision of impaling the Royal Knights Captain, she dashes straight for him destroying his spell with brute force and intimidating mana pressure.

Rhya: She can change her direction mid-air too?!

Mereoleona: TRY AGAIN, YOU POOR EXCUSE OF AN OPPONENT!

Rhya: Her reaction time, it's about on par with Vetto!

She deftly evades all fired off waterballs, darting immediately towards him!

Mereoleona: YOU CANNOT ESCAPE, MIDNIGHT SUN!

BOOOOM!

Rhya: Copy Magic, Tainted Culvert Wyrm! This is the most powerful Water Magic we possess, I'd like to see you try and just stop this up, royalty!

The water worm like creature bull rushes the eldest Vermillion Royal, but she casually puts up one of her flame paws up and shuts the mouth of the attack spells, completely evaporating it in the process with a vicious right hook. It was all Rhya needed however as he emerges from the smoke with an all-too familiar Great Nature Spirit.

Rhya: Copy Magic, Salamander's Breath!

GROOOOOOAAAAAARRRR!

BOOOOOOM!

Mereoleona: YOUR MOVE, THIRD EYE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Rhya: Incredible.... Water is her weakness and Fire is her affinity and yet SHE CAN BURN THROUGH THE BOTH OF THEM?! DAMN YOU, NOW YOU'RE REALLY STARTING TO PISS ME OFF!

Mereoleona: COME ON, GIVE ME MORE! I KNOW THAT ISN'T ALL YOU HAVE FOR ME! HAAAAAAAA-

Rhya: Invisible Se-

Mereoleona: HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Rhya: GAHHHHHH!

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

He then summons as a giant Wind Cyclone, which she casually bats away.

Mereoleona: WHAT'S NEXT?!

Rhya: Copy.... Magic, STICKY SALAMANDER!

But yet again she dismissively blows it up!

Mereoleona: GIVE ME SOMETHING DIFFICULT!

Rhya: COPY MAGIC, JOTUNN'S ICE FLOE!

But as you could guess, she was completely unaffected by the blast, even melting the giant ice crystal!

Mereoleona: CALIDOS..... BRACHIUM! AND AGAIN, I SAY NEXT!

Zora: Sheesh, not only determined but relentless... Mereoleona Vermillion. As ferocious as the rumors lay claim. I've done a bit of research on her.... Yeah this beast of a woman spends 300 days out of the calendar year roaming the woods and plains. Says it because the Capital is damn near stifling and that she prefers the hard work and competition of hunting wild game.

HAHAHAHA, YUMMY!

Zora: Because of all that time she spends basking in the sunlight and hunting predators three or four times her size along with all of the natural mana in the world, word on the street is that she's taken Mana Skin to the next level. Judging by animalistic movements she's possessing..... it's safe to say, these are no mere rumors but actual truth. And this is the first time I'm seeing this Rhya guy in action with his Copy Magic in full go. But I'd wager I've got a pretty good idea on how it works just by his mannerisms. It allows him to a spell of any attribute he touches.... and that means he can wield pretty much any spell from the user's grimoire he touched at his literal disposal. In short, he's a bottomless pit of offense and defense. Only possible due to his astonishing power. Because of that alone, any spell copied from the average mage tends to have more potency than the original version. But the one thing he can't do, is cast a second attack from a way different attribute, especially when's he already got one in play. We saw it on display when he lost his transparency. Most other mages, they wouldn't stand a chance against a cheating shit-stain like this guy. But.... this is her, we're talking about.

Mereoleona: STAY STILL SO I CAN FINISH OBLITERATING YOU!

Asta: WHOOOOOAAAAA! She's getting hotter and hotter with each passing second, quite literally. I feel my own body temperature rising just by being in her presence! Isn't there anything, any technique I can steal from this fight?! To use later?

Rhya: DAMN IT, YOU'RE SUCH A PAIN!

His grimoire begins glowing red and black as he then.... YANKS OUT THE DEMON SLAYER SWORD! Which horrifies both Asta and Zora.

Asta: WHAT THE?!

Zora: No....

Asta: IT'S MY SWORD!

Zora: I see... he must've snuck us from behind and touched Asta's grimoire when the shrimp wasn't paying attention!

Rhya: All I really need to do is steal someone's magic and it's as good as mine. And when I was transformed, I managed to make contact with the kid's anti-magic grimoire! Not bad, eh, Licht?

He thinks back to a simpler time... as he yawns.

Rhya: Copy Magic, eh? Great. Kinda fitting for a person who's as empty and carefree as I am, yeah?

Licht: Actually Rhya, you're the most selfless and caring person I know.

Rhya: Eh. What makes you say that, Licht?

Licht: Ha. You see people for who they truly are, and you more often than not see the good in them! I suppose that's why you were blessed with the Copy Magic ability.

Rhya: Because... I like people?

Licht: I mean, you can't use it with observing and understanding someone first. It means that you're kind and an open-minded individual!

Rhya: You thought I was kind, Licht but unfortunately you were wrong friend. Not only am I disloyal, I'm worthless, lazy liar at that. But that didn't stop you from saying so many wonderful things about me Licht. Truly a one of a kind individual. But when YOU PEOPLE DECEIVED AND THEN KILLED HIM, AN UNFATHOMABLE AMOUNT OF ANGER, HATE AND DISDAIN ROSE UP WITHIN MY BEING! YOUR TIME HAS COME, YOU WRETCHED HUMANS! YOUR PRECIOUS CLOVER KINGDOM IS GOOD AND LONG GONE! I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU AND ALL OF YOUR LOVED ONES ARE ALL SLAUGHTERED!

Rhya brings down his imitation sword down on Mereoleona's head but is instead met with her Calidos Brachium yet again, causing it to shatter on impact.

Mereoleona: So that was just for show then? You can't copy Anti-Magic after, poser.

Rhya: She thought it was real and still punched me without hesitation?! JUST WHAT TYPE OF MONSTER AM I DEALING WITH HERE?! IF I HAD ANTI-MAGIC, IT WOULD HAVE DESTROYED HER FISTS, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT! SUCH INTENSE MANA- SHE'S AMAZING! IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE SHE'S ROYALTY EITHER.... THIS IS... A HUMAN STRENGTH WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!

Mereoleona: Ya done playin' around.... Cause I'm ready to avenge both of my siblings and all those you've terrorized!

Rhya freezes when he notices the air in the room has changed.

Rhya: SHE'S GONE BEYOND MANA SKIN TO CONTROL ALL THE MANA IN THE AREA?!

Mereoleona: TIME TO END THIS NOW! MANA ZONE..... CALIDOS BRACHIUM..... BARAAAAAAAGGGGGEEE! RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

She then proceeds to deliver several hellacious hyper-speed punches as they all land into Rhya.

Mereoleona: WHAT IS THE MATTER, RHYA OF THE THIRD EYE?! ARE YOU GIVING UP ALREADY!

Zora: Yeah.... his ass is cooked.

Rhya: No time to use Fast Movement or my Recovery Magic.... I need to pull out the big guns! The fact she mastered a Mana Zone attack when no human had up to this point is unheard of!

When it comes to the Mana Zone ability, the user is able to manipulate the mana around themselves and the surrounding area to suit his or her own purposes! This means anyone using any mana-based techniques activated within that zone can be controlled as well. Additionally, Mana Zone gives a massive boost to sensitivity and reaction speed. Borrowing power from nearby mana in the area, the user can move freely in the air.

Mereoleona: GO ON, TRY AND LAUNCH ANOTHER FUCKING ATTACK, I DARE YOU TO!

Zora: She's gettin' too good, it's almost ridiculous!

Asta: We struggled so hard against the Third Eye and yet, she's toying with them like a cat does with a mouse.... Captain Mereoleona, you're WICKED STRONG!

Mereoleona: IF THAT'S REALLY YOUR BEST, I SHOULD JUST KILL YOU NOW AND MAKE MY WAY TO THE REAL APEX PREDATOR, YOUR BUDDY LICHT! NOW BURN BEFORE MY EYES!

Rhya almost smirks as he acknowledges her strength.

Rhya: Well shit.... that seems to be end of the road for me. Least I'll be seeing you, Vetto old friend.

Meanwhile, the Golden Dawn and Tyrus square up with a few more mages.

Tyrus: Ready?

Yuno: Of course. Wind Magic, Tornado Fang, times three.

Tyrus: Followed by Ice Magic, Starfire Breaker. Show them the strength of the Black Bulls!

The foster brother combined their magics for a devastating pincer style attack, taking out the three grunts.

Yuno: Sorry, but you can't defeat me. You simply don't have what it takes.

Tyrus: I've taken out two of your superiors.... what made you bozos think you had a chance against me? Pitiful fools, know your place and bring me Licht.

Mimosa stands amazed at her squadmate and Tyrus as they once again take the lead.

Mimosa: Yuno's magic came from behind them, and Tyrus.... I don't think his Starfire Breaker attack spell has ever been this potent or had this wide of an casting radius before! Could this be that ability that they call the Mana Zone?

Tyrus: Let's move you guys!

They advance on forward as Mimosa continues her thoughts.

Mimosa: Now that I think about it.... they both have shown the ability to cast one spell inside of another spell. Yuno did it to Alecdora during the Royal Knights Selection Exam! And their Spirit Dives, Azure Dragon and when Yuno melded with the Wind Spirit..... They both used Mana Zone to do it! Tyrus and Yuno really are shining examples of Magic Knights. I can see why Noelle fell in love with Tyrus the way she did.

THUMP! THUMP!

Tyrus: Yuno.

Yuno: Yeah. That thumping, it's getting more noticeable.

Mimosa: I heard it before, too!

Yuno: A heartbeat?

Tyrus: Yeah... and I can't help but be drawn to it.

Bell: The mana here.... it feels so... so.

Kuraokami: Familiar....

Bell: Exactly.

In said room where the thumping was coming from, a white sphere was at the center area.... and inside it, rests an individual.... as his heartbeat continues to thump loudly.

F.W.C. 4,612 Words!
