Narrator: Within the Clover's fifth leaf, there lives the devil. Asta, born into this world without the ability to harness mana, was granted the mysterious and powerful ability called Anti-Magic from his five leaf grimoire, the talent to cancel or otherwise nullify all spells or attacks targeting him. Unfortunately-

Silhouettes of the Dark Triad's Vanica, Dante and Zenon are all shown with a brilliantly flaming tree of sorts behind them.

Narrator: The members of the Spade Kingdom's Dark Triad all possess powers granted to them by devils from the underworld and use them to launch a heinous invasion on their neighboring countries of Clover, Heart and Diamond. Gaining the strength from belief in himself and from the support of his friends-

Visuals of all the major players from Yuno, Tyrus and Noelle, and all nine of the Magic Knights Captain are displayed behind Asta as he races toward the Dark Triad and a malicious giant presence, riding on the Demon Slayer Sword.

Narrator: Asta continues to fight hard and passionately for the safety of this world.

Dante: Don't flatter yourself, Yami Sukehiro. You're not the actual key to the underworld, per se, but rather..... it's your arcane magic I'm after. To give you brief summary so that your feeble mind can understand it, what I'm after is a magical channel referred to as the Tree of Qliphoth. And for us to bring that channel into the existence, we require two things.

Dante had revealed that by creating the Tree of Qliphoth, would require both arcane-stage levels of Dark Magic and World Tree Magic, confirming the Dark Triad's ambitions of kidnapping Yami and the Golden Dawn's Captain William Vangeance.

Dante: Hahahahahaha. Then your "world" as you so eloquently put it, is going to be wrought and infested with devils! And once they've taken over? MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! IT'LL BE A WONDEROUS AND BEAUTIFUL CELEBRATION OF BLOODSHED, EVERY POSSIBLE KIND OF MALICE YOU COULD IMAGINE YAMI, IT WOULD HAPPEN AND DESCEND UPON THIS LAND LIKE AN UNSTOPPABLE TIDAL WAVE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Dante: AND THAT'LL BE QUITE THE SPECTACLE, AM I RIGHT, YAMI SUKEHIRO?!

Yami: That's fucking it.... No more chit chat bitch, I'm taking your ass down right now!

Meanwhile as one vicious battle occurred in the Clover Kingdom, several more had broken out in the nearby Heart Kingdom against Dante's sister Vanica and her Dark Disciples raged. Charmy, Luck, Leopold, Selene and Gaja were all dispatched to curb all of the chaos in one go.

Luck: TRUE LIGHTNING MAGIC, CERANOS!

Svenkin: Impossible... he went through me?! No way.... I could have been defeated so easily! Did he... did he use all of that mana stored inside of himself to turn himself into actual bolt of lightning?!

Luck: Heh.... that was fun. Thanks for the fight and pain!

First Luck confronted and rather easily defeated Skin Magic Disciple Svenkin.

Next, Charmy in her brutal battle would use her overwhelming love of food and growing disdain for Hair Magic Dark Disciple Halbet.

Wolf: Is it time, yet my friendddddd?

Charmy: Yes... let's make this bitch pay for wasting all of these precious eats! Food Magic, GLUTTON'S BANQUET!

Wolf: ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAR!

Wolf: This dish... looks pretty TASTY! HERE WE GO, DOWN THE HATCH YOU WILL BE CONSUMED!

And by using the Mana Method to allow her in getting a magic power boost, Charmy would soon outclass Halbet and taking her hair as a souvenir.

Charmy: The ONLY way to gain true beauty and strength... IS FROM A BALANCED DIET!

Sivoir: WHAT? THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! WHERE DID THESE ENORMOUS ARRAYS ORIGINATE FROM?! When did he have a chance-

Selene: Sorry to keep you waiting.

Leo: But as you can see, we're still standing and we've endured you so that we could take our time not only formulating our strategy....

Selene: But also we need some time to create it, but to do so, we needed to give you the false sense that you had us both dead to rights. And you were so focused on keeping your eyes towards Leo, you had no idea what I was concocting!

Leo: I hear you loud and clear! True Flame Magic, CRIMSON.... ERUPTION!

Leopold and Selene who had both obtained True Flame Magic thanks to the Mana Method taught to them by Floga, brought about an end to their distance seeking opponent, Eyeball Magic user Sivoir Snyle.

Sivoir: NO, STOP! I BEG OF YOU BOTH!

Selene: If you're not strong enough to endure what two "kids" are capable of.... THEN YOU ARE NOT SIMPLY WORTH OUR TIME!

Leo: AND DON'T PLAY WITH TWO INFERNOS WHEN YOU WILL GET INCINERATED!

Hischer and his Nail Magic were quickly shocked unconscious by Gaja, another one of the Spirit Guardians who originally been beside Loropechika and others not present on the battlefield.

Gaja: You're finished here... Dark Disciple. Move and I will have no hesitation in finishing you off. Accept defeat and do not attempt to attack again. I didn't think I would make it here on time.... Now I need to assure myself that Sarado and others are all right, get the innocents to safety and make it back to Queen Loropechika.

Robero: Oh, my! I sense the delicious the manas of some rather delicious ladies down here-

Loropechika: We knew you'd show yourselves eventually.

Mimosa: That's right we're all prepared!

Tyrus: You want the Queen, you're gonna have a hell of a time getting to Loropechika!

Mimosa: Plant Magic, MAGIC CANNON FLOWER! Serves you right for being creepy!

However Gaja would be too late in his actions as Queen Loropechika along with Undine, Mimosa, Noelle and Tyrus would be confronted by the Dark Disciple using Tongue Magic in Robero. And just as Mimosa's magic had put him down for the moment... another malevolent presence would originate.

Vanica: Oh.... YOO-HOO!

Noelle: Tyrus wasn't kidding. This mana.... it's so sinister and evil!

Vanica: I haven't seen you in so long. So I thought I come play with you and your friends. Well are you happy to see me, Widdle Loropechika?

(Meanwhile as the Dark Triad had launched their invasions in search of William and Yami.....)(Spade Castle, Spade Kingdom)

Spade Soldier: I gotta say, dull doesn't even begin to describe guard duty. With the Dark Triad out there launching the offensive, things have been tempered as of late.

Spade Soldier: Yeah.... Oh right, there's one more thing!

Spade Soldier: Yeah, what is it?

Spade Soldier: I'm not sure if you heard or didn't care, but apparently we might have a spy from the Clover Kingdom in our ranks

The blonde-haired man laughs him off, alleviating his comrade's stress.

Spade Soldier: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Don't be ridiculous, kid. That's just a rumor. If there were a spy, we would have already weeded them out and had them executed. Besides there's nobody stupid enough to even attempt something so brazen!

Spade Soldier: Ha, you're right. Let's get some lunch and report back in.

Now yer speakin' my language, you're payin' though.

However they were oh so very right to be suspicious as in Dante's chambers, there indeed was someone lurking around just hoping to gain advantage against Spade by any means necessary. This individual had been examining all of the intelligence and coorespondences regarding the Clover Kingdom and their recent endeavors against the Eye of the Midnight Sun. However his concentration was disturbed when the guards spotted him.

Spade Soldier: You there! Yeah, you! Back away from Lord Dante's desk and come to me with your hands up! You shouldn't even be here- Unless you're that spy I've been hearing so much about, are you friend or foe? Let's have a chat downstairs in the dungeon REGARDLESS!

He summons a water snake similar to Solid Silva's... only this one's more coarse and has less intimidation on his. The individual on the receiving end does nothing but.... phases out of his original spot and out of sight, confusing the unlucky Spade soldier.

Spade Soldier: Enough with the games! Where did you go- AHHHH! WHAT THE HELL?!

He feels darkness and cold but before he could do anything.... the voiceless individual springs up from the ground and immediately snatches the poor bastard up ankles, the last thing you see is his hand going through a portal and his screams resonate through the room.... before being put out, the serpent of liquid fizzling with its owner nowhere to been found. Soon our mystery man pops back up opponent-less but as he begins to approach the door, his cloak waves back and forth before revealing a Black Bulls insignia on his grimoire's pouch. Just who was this individual who chose to stick the shadows?

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

Vanica stood in the hole her Dark Disciple Robero had made for the two of them to confront Loropechika and her allies with and the intensity and moment was all there.... her power was bouncing off the charts, everyone knew it but at the same time, they all knew it was going to be a long day as a Magic Knight. Tyrus gave the middle child of the Dark Triad a one-over and between her almost laxed disposition and her unlimited dark power, he was understandably confused. Loropechika was completely frozen and rightfully so, this was indeed the woman contracted to the devil that cursed so very long ago as a mere child.

Tyrus: You've gotta be kidding me.... this woman... this is the Vanica that supposedly killed my father and Noelle's mother? She's the furthest thing from what Loropechika told us but her power.... it's the closest thing to endless!

Vanica: There's my widdle Loropechika! Oh there's no reason for you ladies and lone gentlemen to be so guarded and tense, can't a woman pay her dear friend a visit? I only ever cursed you the last time we faced off because Megicula warned me to do so. Anyway....

She looks at the trio of Magic Knights who remained steadfast but she began giggling when saw Mimosa, Noelle and Tyrus tense up with each step she took towards them and Loropechika in addition to her Water Spirit Undine.

Vanica: This should be a very fun visit!

Noelle: She's the one possessed by Megicula... that must mean... THIS IS VANICA OF THE DARK TRIAD! She's the one who killed my mother and Tyrus's father, no more doubting it.

Loropechika: Answer me this, if it's me you're only after Vanica then why put all of Heart under siege? You and your damned Dark Disciples are out there involving my people in your sick, twisted game!

The eye-patch wearing villainess curls her features into a devious smile as she looks at the group, licking her tongue.

Vanica: Oh it's simple really.... I just wanted an excuse to draw all of your anger because I knew then it'd be more of a reason for you to fight me more!

Loropechika: You mean.. No....

Noelle: She's heartless!

Tyrus: You're an absolute monster! Those people had nothing to do with you and Loropechika and YOU STILL PUT THEM THROUGH THAT HELL!?

Noelle: I hope you're prepared to know Loropechika isn't going at this alone, you're going to have deal with us and our friends wiped out all of your minions. You're the only one that's even remotely left-

Vanica: Oh yeah? So you believed them all to be defeated, is that right?

Robero's tongue go slinging over the place before it retreats back into for the most part, his burn wounds now nonexistent.

Robero: OHHHHHOOOO, BOY! That sure was a heck of a warm up, I hope you're not drained of your mana yet, little lady!

Mimosa: That can't be... my magic should've rendered him unconscious but he doesn't even to be wounded at all!

Tyrus: How the.... I could've sworn Mimosa's Magic Flower killed that chump, how's he already back up and moving around?! I know you guys are seeing this!

Robero: Hahahaha! I don't think I'll be ever able to thank you enough Lady Vanica! Because of you, I'll feel the never-ending pleasure- GAHHHHHHAAAAAA!

His glazing of her is crudely interrupted when jumps in the air and instead of her true opponents, Vanica curbstomps his face into the cold, hard ground, the booming effect shocking everyone in the gallery.....

Tyrus: What in the entire... that's one way to check on your I guess... slave?

Vanica: Shut up... you can thank me by taking care of those annoying little gnats so I can be alone with Loropechika. That's what you can do, you worthless pig.

She then begins kicking him over and over again, intentionally getting his rocks off for the moment but soon her boot was covered in his blood and brain matter.

Mimosa: I- I can't watch this!

Tyrus: Good God, almighty... she might've actually killed the bastard!

Noelle: No... it's worse than that- LOOK!

Robero: MAHAHAHHAAA! I beg you, Lady Vanica, please step on me some more and bash my brains even harder!

Vanica: You see that, my three utterly adorable nuisances? Thanks to the curse I've put on all of them, they're stricken with immortality. Meaning no matter how many times you manage to kill them, they never truly die!

This chills them out the most as Tyrus finds himself repeating that one crucial word she spouted out.....

Tyrus: Immortality.... that's just fucking great. I'm all for beating the shit outta someone but that gets tiring after a while!

While that was going on Gaja had prepared to leave the battle he had just won for Sarado against Hischer but just as he began floating away, he noticed something was amiss.

Hischer: And just where do you think you're off to, Spirit Guardian?

Gaja: Impossible... you're still alive? After everything I inflicted onto you?

His insidious nails grow even more out of control with the Dark Disciple alluding as to how he survived shot after brutal shot Gaja put on him.

Hischer: Well, of course I am! We've only just begun to destroy and trample your helpless little kingdom.... Long live Lady Vanica!

Tyrus: No they can't be, this woman isn't kiddin' you guys, look at the monitors!

The women and he all look at the palace monitors, finding all of Vanica's Dark Disciples who were brutally defeated by Luck, Charmy, Selene and Leo all also starting to get up, completely healed and even stronger than what they were originally.

Svenkin: Hahhahahahahaha! See that's the power of love, kid! How about we get round two started now!? ALL HAIL THE INCREDIBLY MAGNIFICENT LADY VANICA!

Sivoir: You fucking brats..... HOW DARE YOU INFLICT PAIN AND SUFFERING ONTO ME! AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE AT THAT?! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY! AFTER RECEIVING THE HONOR OF BEING HAND-SELECTED BY LADY VANICA HERSELF!

Halbet: I a woman of utter high class and refined beauty! I should have NEVER, EVER BEEN SUBJECTED TO SUCH LOW BROW HUMILIATION IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! And so with my eternal hair and gorgeousness, both bestowed to me by Lady Vanica, I will not stop until you are dead and this entire Kingdom is destroyed!

Vanica: Why does it take them so long to get their dumb 'ol speeches out of the way? Just fight already!

Luck: Heh, heh.... And here I was thinking I had to go back already!

Charmy, Luck, Leo and Selene: ALL RIGHT, BRING ON ROUND TWO THEN!

Gaja: It is like I said before, no matter how many times it must take, you will be stopped and I will do it only in the most painful of ways.

Vanica: I'm sorry widdle Loropechika and friends, but unless you happen to defeat me, which let's be honest you won't be able to do, then my Dark Disciples are just going to continue rampaging through the entire Heart Kingdom.... forever! They won't stop until you and this entire country are dead!

Loropechika doesn't say a single a word, and instead with Undine's assistance begins bringing forth her own immense power. Swirls of water surround the young monarch and before anyone knows it, her more regal garb is applied. Kuraokami takes a moment to inspect Vanica and though he is the Ice Spirit, he had the same horrifying look Bell had when Yuno had afoul.

Kuraokami: Tyrus!

Tyrus: What is it, big guy?

Kuraokami: You must follow Loropechika and Undine, there's something unsettling about her! Do it now! I don't like where this is going for you and the women!

Tyrus: Right, you've never steered me wrong Kami!

Vanica: So you're ready to play, are you Loropechika!? Who would've thought killing a few innocents and threatening to destroy your home would be your limit!

Loropechika's transformation is finally complete with Undine giving the command as she raised her opulent staff.

Undine: Loropechika, let's go and end this once and for all!

Loropechika: Right, Undine!

Tyrus completes his own transformation, horns gleaming furiously as he brazenly pulls out his Spirit of Desponia with Mimosa and Noelle jumping into the fray.

Mimosa: Noelle, that's our cue!

Noelle: Right! Tyrus, we're right beside you!

Noelle stomps her foot onto the ground just as her armor is beginning to form all over, she then pulls out her water lance.

Noelle: Water Creation Magic, Valkyrie Armor!

Tyrus: Spirit Assimilation, Spirit Dive: Azure Dragon!

All: WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU DOWN!

Tyrus: Ice Spirit Magic, Starfire Eradicator!

He draws first blood by putting his two palms, pointing them Vanica and Robero just as Noelle brought her signature attack to the dance-

Noelle: Water Creation Magic, Sea Dragon's Roar!

Both large-scale attacks come in furiously but Vanica didn't even move an inch but instead red tendrils began to permeate around her.

Vanica: Blood Magic, Red Beast!

And out of the woodwork, a giant creature created purely out of her own blood emerges from her backside and swipes away Tyrus's blast sending into the waterfall before a massive explosion occurs, and it bites down on Sea Dragon's Roar, effectively popping it like a pimple and doing away with it, Vanica looking displeased at the couple's effort but their shock bringing great mental pleasure to her.

Vanica: That was your two's best effort? It was just a mere worm and a blast not even worth taking the brunt of.

Mimosa wasn't in any better straits, finding herself on the receiving on end of Robero's tongue!

Mimosa: GYAAAAHHH! UNHAND ME!

Robero: Aww but why? Let's just play the two of us, you and me, little lady! I promise what I'm gonna do is lots of fun, eh?

He notices several of the same plant root starting to crawl up his rotund frame and soon he's a human plant.

Mimosa: Well while you were busy laughing up such a storm at my misfortune, I managed to sneak just a couple of seeds for my magic -controlling weeds to take shape when I threw that last attack at you!

Roberto: NUhhhhh, OHHH I SWEE. I can't moveeee, but at the same time, you can't either!

Noelle: MIMOSA!

Tyrus: You want some help-

Mimosa: I appreciate it but leave this insidious toad to me, you two and Loropechika worry about taking down the devil-possessed one!

Tyrus: All right, you got it! Have at it, Vermillion! NOELLE, LOROPECHIKA, ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE BLOOD MONSTERS INCOMING!

He calls out to his squadmate also girlfriend and the queen when they notice a massive beast, this one even bigger than the one gobbled up Sea Dragon's Roar jump up over them in an attempt to attack Loropechika and Undine but a water wave is cast thwarting the beast lethal attack but it and its caster power are on full display when even though the magic itself is stopped Vanica dashed forward and delivered several blood slashes at the massive wall of liquid one of which inadvertently hit Robero, slicing his forehead but immediately getting repaired.

Robero: OHHHHH YES! Both of your magical abilities are so great, Lady Vanica!

Noelle: That's right... Curse-Warding and Blood Magic! It's just like Loropechika told us all before!

(Flashback... a couple of days before Spade's true invasion!)

Noelle: Loropechika? Hello? ANYONE HOME IN THERE?!

Loropechika: Oh my goodness, yes, I'm here!

Tyrus: You feeling all right, Your Majesty? That's the third time you've zoned out on us.

Loropechika: Apologies you all, I was just checking in on something.

She stops again before Noelle irritatedly comes very close to shaking the cobwebs out of Loropechika almost immediately.

Noelle: Seriously? Because if anything it seems you were spacing out just now again!

Tyrus: You said something about Spade just a minute ago, it caught all of our attention, you mind spilling?

Loropechika: Oh yes, thank you both for reminding me of it. I was going to say that each member of the Dark Triad, Vanica included have a combination of two different magic attributes. The one they were born with, and the one their devil possess.

Tyrus: No way.

Loropechika: I'm afraid so and when it pertains to Vanica and Megicula, I have fought them before..... you need not worry, I will come up with the perfect strategy! That being said, we... will train with that in mind.

(Back to the Present Day...)

Vanica: TEE-HEE-HEE! Nice one, Loropechika! I wonder if-

She looks directly at the Black Bulls and the lone Golden Dawn, Mimosa who continues to be at current stalemate with Robero before looking right back her intended prey.

Vanica: If Dante and Zenon are having as much fun as I am! Nah, nevermind whatever my brothers are up to, this is ten times better than that! Cause Loropechika is here, and I can kill her without any consequence!

Undine: I'm sorry, devil-possessed wench but that shall not be happening today! Because I'm here too, and I will protect her by any means necessary!

The Great Nature Spirit fires off several high-impact waterballs which Vanica ate but showed absolutely damage for, shocking even the mighty Water Spirit, as she continually rattled off her nonsense.

Vanica: I guess it would be pretty entertaining having both Dark Magic and World Tree Magic! BUT IF YOU ASK ME, THAT SOUNDS LIKE TOO MUCH OF A BOTHER TO EVEN DRAG THOSE TWO BACK ALIVE, AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Noelle: Dark Magic and World Tree Magic? Those are Captain Yami and Captain Vangeance's magic attributes!

Tyrus: WHO EXACTLY IN THE HELL ARE YOU REFERRING TO!?

Noelle: And what do you mean by "dragging them back?" What are you scheming on, TELL US RIGHT NOW!

They already knew the answer as to the "who" but as to "what" she and the other members were planning, it was left completely left in the dark. Vanica spat in their general, getting bored of their demands, deeming them both weak and unfit to fight her.

Vanica: Ugh, begone you little ants. Did you honestly believe I was going tell YOU TWO anything?

Tyrus: What you can do is not fucking underestimate us, that's what you can do and believe!

Loropechika thinks in her massive intelligence factory that was her brain: Just what was it that Vanica and Dark Triad could be after in Yami's Dark Magic and William's World Tree Magic.

Loropechika: World Tree Magic and Dark Magic....

For those who don't understand.... The Queens of the Heart Kingdom historically inherit the previous queens' powers, as well as their knowledge's and experiences.... here in the realm that is Loropechika's mind is where that colossal and endless mountain of information is stored and materialized for her usage. And it is because of this special place that she is known simply as the "All-Knowing Priestess".

Loropechika: Nooooo....

She immediately freezes up when she realized what the Dark Triad was scheming on by requiring Dark and World Tree Magic as images of bloodshed, devils, people hung up on crosses like slabs of meats being paraded around a town square and... the Tree of Qliphoth! And this wasn't just a Spade Kingdom relegated thing, this would spread all over the world if Dante, Vanica, Zenon and their devils had their way uninterrupted....

Loropechika: It's... so cruel... so inhumane!

Noelle: Loropechika!

Tyrus: What? What did you see?!

Loropechika: Listen Noelle. Tyrus... If we let the Dark Triad have their way today on the battlefield... they're going to open the door to the underworld itself, release the devils living there and that will only result in more people being killed. The loss of life was already too much here, now imagine chaos spread all over the world. Diamond, Heart and Clover, everyone you and I know and love would be viciously murdered. We're talking more than.... MORE THAN NINETY PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS CONTINENT! And the world, the world as we know it will cease to exist!

Noelle: But that's insane!

Tyrus: Ninety percent.... that means what.. a little over of a ten-thousand people would be left alive! Is what she saying true, Vanica? You sickos are planning to destroy the whole fucking world?!

Loropechika: Why no... how could you plan to do something so heinous, Vanica?! So many people would die if you do go through with this!

Vanica: That's the beauty of it, Loropechika! Yes so many will die, but truly only the strongest will be left behind and my blood is going to be boiling right along with theirs..... what's the issue if the many weaker ones die off? Anyway, let's not worry too much about the impending future, how about we soak in the now!

Loropechika summons more water, this time angrily her way, the only thing on the Queen's mind neutralizing Vanica here and now.

Tyrus: You don't give a damn at all, do you?

Loropechika: Enough! It's clear as day that we can't allow monsters like you to roam around free in this land!

The water soon develops into a waterspout, swallowing up Vanica and her Red Beast.

Loropechika: Which is why... we will defeat you here once and for all, Vanica Zogratis!

Tyrus: Yeah!

She looks at both Noelle and Tyrus who exchange rigid yet determined looks with the monarch, as the water begins rushing up, the intensity continuing to build as it rushes like fresh magma from a volcano as Loropechika prepares the next stage of the fight between herself, her allies and the woman responsible for inflicting the curse on her.

Loropechika: The very fate of existence itself is in our hands! Mana Zone.... plus Mana Method. Water Spirit Magic.... LUDIC SANCTUARY!

Tyrus: AWWWW YEAH BABY, NOW IT GETS REALLY FUN!

Vanica gets thrown around every which direction while Loropechika looks at her drowning state.

Loropechika: With this technique.... your Blood Magic's efficacy and lethality will from now be on cut in half! And Noelle's... magic and water-based attacks will increase in power as well Tyrus's since he too is a user of water-deriative attacks!

Tyrus: Seriously?! NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A MAJOR ASS KICKING POWER... We might actually pull this off if this is true!

Noelle thinks back to the particular night where she, Secre and Tyrus had been training and she asked Undine to submerge her in her water magic.

Noelle: Stronger.... I have to get stronger! NHHH!

Tyrus: Focus, Noelle! Undine's not just gonna give it to ya!

Noelle: I think I know that! But what is it now, what's holding me back and why?

Loropechika: No... it's nothing holding you back Noelle. The lighter your armor is, the more easily you'll be able to navigate and become one with the water!

She focuses once more after taking the Queen's advice and before she knew it, her entire body began glowing and little did the sixteen year old royal come to know... but she had unlocked a new version of the Valkyrie Armor...

Loropechika: And not only that... but this should help you move more fluidly and land more precise yet vicious attacks! You'll be swifter than you have ever realized since gaining the Valkyrie Armor spell, Noelle!

Tyrus: Whoa.... Noelle.

Tyrus: We're going to actually see it in full action!

Loropechika: Yes... yes, we are!

They both look towards Noelle as her legs have disappeared but not because they had been cut off or anything of the sort, replacing her limbs was a massive lower body appendage of mythical folklore.... one that parents would often tell bedtime stories to their little ones about, her breastplate had disappeared as well, it too being replaced with simpler yet refined armored bra covering her assets but everything else such as water lance and tiara remained unaffected by these cosmetic changes.

Noelle: Water Creation Magic, Valkyrie Armor: Mermaid Form!

She races towards Vanica, her boyfriend right on her side as they looked at each other, nodding before hatching out their plan of attack on the Dark Triad member. She impales Vanica with her lance, hatred burning in her eyes.

Noelle: You've destroyed so many lives, and for what!?

Tyrus encases his hand in a massive ice block as he then dove underneath Noelle before she impaled Vanica and smashes his fist into her face, uppercutting to the point of nearly her head clean off the shoulders!

Tyrus: But if it's the last thing Noelle, Loropechika, I and all of our friends do! We will stop you and the rest of the Dark Triad, Vanica!

However despite, hitting her with two body rattling attacks, Vanica didn't move a muscle as to show any pain but... she wasn't resisting against the couple's hits either.... but just as a breath escaped her mouth she looked at the two and began giggling like she was being subjected to punishment by tickling!

Vanica: AH-HA! WELL LOOK AT YOU TWO! It's so cute that Loropechika found herself a couple of buddies to get along with! Now I can triple the fun just for myself alone!

Tyrus: I-IMPOSSIBLE, I WAS CERTAIN NOELLE PIERCED YOUR HEART AND I KNOW FOR A FACT I BROKE YOUR NECK!

She places her hands on both the couples' drawn weapons, his Spirit Dive Sword and her Valkyrie Armor Water Lance, blood coating the both of the brilliantly gleaming blue preferred modes of combat for Noelle and Tyrus.

Vanica: Try not to die on me too fast, I like it when my prey can injure me!

Tyrus: No... our weapons.... I feel like I'm losing control of it!

Vanica: Devil-Power.... 50-Perecent Strength!

Soon her wings sprout out violently and with the boost in power would also produce a vicious looking blood claw as you guessed, a product of the twisted woman's blood but while it was massive, Ludic Sanctuary was preventing it from reaching its full potential.

Loropechika: Good, her blood can't harden as easily with Ludic Sanctuary now in effect. But it won't slow Vanica down all that much! I knew it, Noelle, Tyrus and I... we won't win this fight with conventional attacks! NOELLE, TYRUS!

She whips out multiple mana arrays for the duo as Vanica laughed harshly and brought the claw down on them!

Tyrus: NOELLE, MOVE!

They dodge and a horrific game of Cat-And-Mouse ensues between the three but Noelle due to natural harmony with the Mana Method proves to be faster than both her the devil-possessed and even her own boyfriend even with his Spirit Dive cloaked on.

Noelle: HERE SHE COMES!

Tyrus: Then let's show Vanica how the Black Bulls get down, Silva!

She brings her blood claw out again, but instead of cleaving either teens down the middle, the duo use a diversion tactic, allowing Noelle to a slash her painfully and Tyrus to once again punch Vanica dealing a heavy Iceberg Punch into her abdomen!

Vanica: HRRRKKK! HAHAHAHAHAHA! NOW THINGS ARE STARTING TO GET REAL! FIFTY ONE PERCENT!

Instead of aiming for Noelle solely, she switches up and goes immediately after Tyrus attempting to overwhelm the ice mage with a calvcade with coarse but very volatile blood torrent streams.

Noelle: TYRUS!

Tyrus: Don't worry about me, focus on you Noelle! We can do this!

He dances and evades multiple attacks and he wouldn't lie to himself, the pressure of the moment was intensifying second by second..... but he was able to evade the last slashing blood stream by merely slapping it away, just as the Spirit of Desponia and her claw come into contact with one another. He then breaks up the clashing styles, spinning his body around rapidly and kicking her dead in the face but once again no pain is registered with Zogratis sibling.

Tyrus: ICE LIGHTNING KICK!

Noelle: She only went up by one whole percent and even then, she's already so much stronger than before! All you ever think about is satisfying your own twisted desires!

Tyrus: And people like you Vanica are the sickest puppies!

Vanica: AHAHAHAHA! FIFTY-TWO PERCENT!

Tyrus punches down more of the streams opening up an opportunity for Noelle as she charges forward!

Noelle: I BET YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU HURT OR KILL! YOU KILLED MY MOTHER, ACIER SILVA THE FORMER CAPTAIN OF THE SILVER EAGLES AND A ROYAL OF THE CLOVER KINGDOM AND MY BOYFRIEND'S FATHER OF THE SAME KINGDOM!

The women collide in the a furious collision as Vanica's power only continues to swell gradually.

Vanica: FIFTY-THREE PERCENT! AND WHO ARE THEY?! WERE THEY STRONG AT ALL, LET ME KNOW!

Tyrus stands in the blast with Noelle, helping her as much as his body would allow him, continuing to push past their physical limits.

Tyrus: LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE BUT YOU TOOK THEM AWAY FROM US! I NEVER GOT EXPERIENCE WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO KNOW MY FATHER, NEITHER DID NOELLE WITH HER MOTHER, YOU'RE A HEARTLESS SOCIOPATH, ZOGRATIS!

Vanica: BLECH! Talking about the past is pointless and boring! Let's enjoy the moment, yeah you two?!

Tyrus: NGGGHHHH! NOELLE, YOU GOTTA FOCUS!

Noelle: WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING, TYRUS!?

Suddenly numerous cuts begin to make themselves known all over their bodies and faces just as Mimosa and Robero continued to stalemate in their own fight.

Robero: Nehahahahaha! I wish you'd just learn to give up and take all these licks, pretty lady! Didn't you forget, thanks to the sublime and supreme Lady Vanica, we can never die until she is defeated!

Mimosa was having none of the trash talk and she remained resolute and determined to see Robero defeated and the woman responsible for taking her aunt away vanquished.

Mimosa: That's why we trained so hard. Trust me when I say and you listen well, THERE'S NO WAY WE WILL BE DEFEATED BY THE LIKES OF YOU! Not just for the world...

Noelle: Not just to avenge the death of my mother and Tyrus's father!

Tyrus: No letting these devils overrun the world and kill everybody!

They think back to the last day of training they had before Spade had launched their cooresponding attacks on Clover and Heart, Noelle had been mastering her newly unlocked Mermaid Armor and had asked Loropechika, Mimosa and Tyrus to fire off their strongest attacks at her.

Loropechika: HA!

Mimosa: MAGIC CANNON FLOWER!

Tyrus: STARFIRE BREAKER!

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

Tyrus: WOOOOO-HOOOO, I TELL YOU WHAT I AM SPENT AFTER TODAY!

Mimosa: You really are incredible, Loropechika! With your help, our magics are sure to be next to unstoppable!

Noelle: Uh, yeah, sure. I guess you had something to do with it.

Tyrus: Ah, ignore Noelle. What she means to say is thank you for everything you've done for us, Your Majesty. Seriously. I thought I was already at my limit, but you've opened up new possibilities to continue getting stronger!

Undine: Well, what did you all expect? Loropechika's just that amazing!

Loropechika immediately dismisses all of the compliments.

Loropechika: What, no, no, no! I'm nothing truly special at all.

Noelle: Royalty to Royalty, you can drop the modesty act, it's coming off as fake, Loropechika.

Tyrus slightly elbows her in the side, trying to curb his girlfriend's overwhelming bluntness just as the Queen pulls out a massive book.

Loropechika: But you see, I'm only this way and capable as I am now because I inherited most of my mana and special abilities from the previous rulers who held the title of Queen of the Heart Kingdom long before I did.

Undine: It still should be worth mentioning while that is true, your powers are still unfathomably great! They can't be just inherited by anyone, dearie.

Tyrus: Undine's right. I didn't know what the hell I was doing when I first got the big guy you see on my shoulder, our first couple of encounters on the battlefield were more than frosty, but he eventually came to trust me as his master and a friend.

Loropechika: It's just that because I'm so unordinarily clumsy and goofy-acting, I can't help but think to myself sometimes when I'm alone. How did I ever become Crown Queen of the Heart Kingdom? Am I really worthy of the crown that sits atop of my head every day? Last time when I ran afoul Vanica and the devil Megicula... I'll admit, I was terrified of their power. And because of my crippling fear, I got cursed to death. I'm unfit to be a queen.

The trio look at Loropechika with bated concern as she chuckles to herself and then she looks directly at the girls, Secre included and Tyrus.

Loropechika: But whenever I'm with you four and the others, I tend to forget about my status and things of that relative nature.... I feel as though I can be honest, my authentic self. I wonder why? What I'm about to tell you all, it might make me probably seem like I'm even more undeserving.... But...

The tears coming pouring like a severe thunderstorm as Loropechika, reigning monarch of the Heart Kingdom cries passionate and honest tears. With the shock all the more authentic for the Magic Knights..... though Secre in her bird form is neutral more or less.

Loropechika: I'm so afraid, you all! I- I- I don't want to die!

Tyrus: Loropechika....

Loropechika: As the Heart Kingdom's Queen, I'm supposed to be so much stronger for my people and more responsible but... I...

Little did they all know, Gaja had heard every single word, he wasn't just worried about Loropechika as their kingdom's heir but something more intense feelings might've been sparked inside the Spirit Guardian of Lightning. She wipes the last of her tears.

Loropechika: Look at me! I should apologize. A queen should never cry or look weak in front of others in her view.

Noelle: Oh be honest for a second, would you? That's nowhere true at all.

Noelle, Mimosa and Tyrus all take their but reach the same target which is indeed Loropechika, who is stunned by the Magic Knights hugging her of all things.

Noelle: It's okay for you to cry, especially if you're with friends.

Mimosa: Exactly.

Tyrus: We won't let a single damn thing happen to you, Loropechika. Vanica isn't going to know what hit her the next time she shows her face around.

The tears once again come pouring as she finally breaks down like putty in their hands.

Loropechika: Thank you... Mimosa... Noelle... Tyrus.

And in classical fashion.... she then once again tripped over her clothes, spinning around like a human tornado.

Noelle: Seriously?! How do you fall over yourself with all three of us holding you?

Tyrus: I might make a yul jar for every time this keeps happening, swear to God!

Mimosa: No matter what it takes... WE'RE GOING TO WIN THIS FIGHT, DO YOU HEAR ME?! For Loropechika!

Noelle: FOR OUR PRECIOUS FRIEND, LOROPECHIKA OF THE HEART KINGDOM!

Tyrus: I WON'T LET HER DIE, NOT WHEN SHE HAS SO MUCH LIFE TO LIVEEEEEE!

Vanica: AWESOME, YOU TWO! WE'RE AT SIXTY-FIVE PERCENT NOW! SIXTY-SIX PERCENT, SIXTY-SEVEN PERCENT, SIXTY-EIGHT PERCENT, SIXTY-NINE PERCENT! ARE YOU READY FOR THE BIG ONE-

Tyrus: Just gotta get a clear shot on her..... THERE! MANA ZONE, SHATTER MACHINE, TRACK-DESTROYER! NOELLE, MOVE NOW!

She does as asked of her, and after charging up his Mana-Zonefied Shatter Machine spell he bolts after Noelle and Vanica, zooming past his girlfriend and hitting Vanica full force in the ribs before spinning into her with high intensity before he lands right next to Noelle.

Vanica: OHHH YES, HERE WE GO! YOU TWO GET MY ABSOLUTE BEST! SEVENTY PERCENT, LUCKY YOU!

Her face is half-blackened as is the rest of her body and sensing the tide of the battle about to be flipped on its head, Loropechika urges them to finish her off while they still can.

Loropechika: DO IT NOW, NOELLE AND TYRUS!

Noelle: We were waiting... for this exact moment!

Loropechika: We need Vanica to use highest percentage of Devil Power she can currently max out to. As her Blood Magic ramps up, she'll trade off and lose more and more blood as the fight rages on in turning, completely draining her of mana.. that's when she'll start to feed off of Megicula's power to keep up fighting with us. After this moment, we should be able to go toe to toe with her! And when she's out of Megicula's power as well, it'll be time to use our ace in the hole to put her down for good! That's you, Nero, our arcane-stage fighter.

Noelle and Tyrus summon all of their willpower, calling out to their Black Bulls squadmate who hadn't been seen for the duration of the fight.

Noelle: NEROOOOOOOOO!

Tyrus: DO IT NOW, AND LET'S BRING THIS SHIT ON HOME!

Flying into Ludic Sanctuary, Secre immediately transforms from her Anti-bird state into her real version.

Loropechika: With Nero's arcane-stage spells, and your two's teamwork and chemistry not to mention Tyrus's Spirit Dive which grants him unlimited boosts in both offense and defense, in addition to your combative spirits and fighting styles-- If we five train hard.... then there's no doubt in my mind we will become a lethal and formidable team the like that not even Vanica could hope to stand against on her own. And then hopefully when the time arrives, we can overpower Vanica and kill Megicula!

Tyrus: Hell yeah. No arguments outta me, Your Majesty. I'm itching for some payback in my own right when it comes to that devil.

Noelle: As am I. Nero, can we count you in, too?

Secre Yes.

Secre: I AM ABOUT TO SEAL AWAY THAT DEVIL'S POWER YOU'RE SO PROUD OF WIELDING! MANA METHOD. SEALING MAGIC, ETERNAL PRISON! I WILL NOT LET QUEEN LOROPECHIKA, OR THIS WORLD BE DESTROYED OR HARMED BY SCUM LIKE YOU!
