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.

The Black Bulls trio of Noelle, Tyrus and Finral while being accompanied by the Diamond Kingdom fugitives in Fanzell Kruger, Dominante Code and Mariella searched high and far for a cure to fix Asta's broken arms. However, hot on their trail lurked both the Diamond Kingdom Army and the invading Eye of the Midnight Sun, the latter led by Fana the Hatred who was hellbent in exactin revenge for her fallen compatriot, Vetto the Despair.

Fana: Those disgusting, abhorrent humans responsible for taking Vetto's life are somewhere in this Forest. I will destroy this forest, kill them and any who stand in my way.

Flame Spirit Magic, SALAMANDER'S BREATH!

Salamander: BRAUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

With a massive inferno-ball, a war was declared from one side while Vanessa having stirred and been surprised with her squadmates arrival heavily argued with Asta.

Asta: AND YOU'RE ONE TO TALK, I'M NOT THE ONE BEING SELFISH HERE, IT'S YOU VANESSA! TRYING TO SNEAK BACK TO YOUR HOMELAND WITHOUT GIVING US A HEADS UP OR EVEN A NOTE. AND I'M THE SELFISH ONE, THAT'S REAL RICH COMING FROM YOU!

Vanessa: AND WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE IN MY BOOTS YOU LOUDMOUTHED LITTLE SHIT?! I'M WAITING FOR YOUR OH SO BULLETPROOF STRATEGY?!

Despite this all, it would be royalty taking the mantle and charge, speaking to the Witch Queen directly to heal Asta's arms.

Vanessa: He's right, don't be stubborn for once Asta! Listen to me and listen good, friends don't exist to be sacrificed! Friends, they help overcome a fate you didn't even think you could best on your own!

Asta: Huh?

Vanessa: That's right, that's why I'm here in the first damn place. I never intended to just toss my life by the wayside. You all want to hear my plan, huh? I was going to trick the queen, get your arms healed and then get the hell out of dodge before she came after me in a bloody rampage. All which ended in getting your anti-magic power back.

Noelle: Um.

Tyrus: Nessa... not to be that guy. But-

Vanessa: Shit... I said that out loud, didn't I? I mean, whaaaaat?

Asta: Really? Why didn't you say so earlier?

Finral: Well she definitely didn't have to say it now....

Noelle: Look, Queen of Witches or whatever your go by. If you can heal Asta and by extension Tyrus who's also injured? Stop standing around with that damn poker face of yours and do it already. Or did your forget? Hundreds of your daughters out there are being slaughtered by the Eye of the Midnight Sun and YOUR Forest is in imminent danger. Asta's foaming at the mouth to get out there and help them and you're just going to let them die?! Those two teammates of mine may be idiotic and too macho for their own good, but they're two of the strongest people that I know! If you can fix them up properly, they'll be a huge ally to quelling the Midnight Sun's antics. Besides wherever Asta and Tyrus go, we all follow them! You're outnumbered here, you'll need every last scrap of extra muscle you can muster. You're the queen, so make the smart choice- and let us help you and save the forest.

At the behest of the fellow royal and countless murdering of her daughters from the Midnight Sun's hands, the Witch Queen used her devastatingly powerful Blood Recovery Magic to heal the injured Black Bulls, withholding her own machinations in store. With Asta and Tyrus healed, everyone sprinted into the literal fire, with Fana ambushing Asta and Tyrus with the intent of killing them.

Witch Queen: Hm hm... rejoice while you can. But come what may at the end of all this. Both my foolish daughter Vanessa and the power of the brat's anti-magic sword WILL. BE. MINE. Now Blood Recovery Magic, Curse Breaking Blood Filled Cocoon.

Asta: Tyrus!

Tyrus: Hm, OH SHIT!

Just before they could celebrate defeating Cidane and freeing his hostages, Fana spared no expense in hawking them down like an eagle to a squirrel.

Fana: At last..... I have found you two. You're the two boys who killed Vetto!

Tyrus: What you expecting a fruit basket, he wanted smoke and he got burned, girl. You want next?

Fana: Silence!

Salamander: GROAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

The fire spirit fires off it's biggest fireball yet ready to consume Asta, Tyrus and anyone brave enough to stand in its radius.

Tyrus: Well, shit.....

Asta: We're dead, aren't we?

Tyrus: DEAD THAT NOW, ASTA! I STILL HAVE TO BEAT YOU AND YUNO!

Asta: YOU'RE RIGHT THIS IS LIKE MAGNA'S FIREBALL ONLY BIGGER, THIS IS EASY TO ME NOW! RAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The Black Bulls contend with the heavy hitting Fana the Hatred and her flame Spirit familiar Salamander, NOW!

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

Asta: We'll just keep fighting you off forever.

Tyrus: What you've done here... it's unforgivable. If you wanted your ass kicked so badly then you've come to the right place, I'll even give you a discount.

Kuroakami: I'm beside you master, whenever you need my power at your disposal.

Tyrus: I appreciate that, Kami. Settle on my shoulder because we're going to be here a while, buddy.

Vanessa: Ha.....

Finral: Mm.

The four Black Bulls look at one another just as Noelle comes into the fray, having quelled the last major fire.

Tyrus: Good, you're here Noelle. We're going to need all of the help we can muster.

She nods as Asta grips his swords, that all too familiar clanging registering in hands as they all share piercing looks at the Midnight Sun legionnaire known as Fana The Hatred along with all of her forces.

Asta: So bring it on, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, DO YOU HEAR ME?! BECAUSE WE'LL JUST BEAT YOU INTO THE GROUND AND WHATEVER YOU THROW AT US, WE'LL BE SURE TO RETURN IT WITH EQUAL POWER AND INTENSITY! A HUNDRED TIMES OVER!

Tyrus: We're gonna let this slide... Asta.

Finral: That's one way to rally the troops for what's going a memorable last stand. Guess he's built up a lot of energy while those arms were out of commission.

Fana, however didn't take in his battle lust. She just wanted to end those responsible for ending Vetto's life. And as painfully as possible.

Fana: You're vile. All of you! But this time without a doubt lingering in my head..... YOU TWO WILL DIE!

Tyrus: GET READY EVERYONE HERE COMES THE HOTHEAD!

Asta: READY!

Vanessa: We're-

Finral: RIGHT ALONGSIDE YOU GUYS!

Noelle: WE WON'T LET YOU TWO DIE, LEAST OF ALL TO HER!

Fana: Now go..... FLAME SPIRIT MAGIC: SALAMANDER'S TALON!

Tyrus: SHIT, THAT DAMN FLAME SPIRIT IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM!

Vanessa, thinking quickly on her feet latches strings onto the quartet of squadmates not wielding Thread Magic as she yanks herself as well as Asta, Finral, Noelle And Tyrus up to the air just as the magic hit..... finely dicing and slicing all trees where they would have been five seconds ago as everything them explodes into nothingness.

Finral: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Vanessa: It's so immense.... so that's the Flame Spirit? How do we combat that, if we even can?!

Noelle: Tyrus, you have the Ice Spirit on your shoulder, can't you do something about her?

Kuraokami: The hell do you take me for? A fool, child?

Tyrus: Normally I'd say yes and I won't act like Kami isn't giving me a definite boost in power.... but this isn't Vetto we're dealing with. This woman is in a league in her own if not even more intimidating than the mangy furball.

Vanessa: Salamander.... the Flame Spirit often said to wield the greatest offensive strength among all Four Great Nature Spirits... at this point Finral, I and the kids might as well be taking on the brunt of an entire nation's onslaught.

Tyrus: That being said Noelle, Kami himself while definitely strong isn't as strong as Salamander just take a gander at what the big inferno did. He's more balanced than he's either dominant on offense or defense. He's even hinted it himself, he grows stronger the longer he's with the one he's chosen to fight alongside.

Noelle: Great... just great.

While Fana takes stock in her spirit's onslaught hoping to have killed at least one of the Black Bulls, Asta springs from a loose tree....

Asta: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Successfully landing a devastating slash on Salamander, causing it to roar in tremendous pain.

Vanessa: Amazing! You actually landed a blow on the monster, Asta! Spirits are mana made flesh and with his Anti-Magic Sword, it tears mana to pieces!

He screams as he gets all of the fire spots off of himself.

Asta: THAT WAS REALLY SCARY BUT REALLY FREAKING AWESOME AS WELL! AWW, I WANT A SALAMANDER, HOW DO I GET ONE?!

Vanessa: With Asta here and healed...

Asta: You're wicked good lady but that Vetto guy was a shit ton quicker on his feet than you could ever be! The team and I, we've got this in the bag?

We might just win!

Tyrus: I agree! Ice generally might be weaker than flames.... but you got nothing on what I can do! Let's get it on, Flame-Brat!

He cracks his knuckles as Vanessa slightly bemuses herself, smiling at the sight.

Vanessa: Ha! With you two running around, you make me feel downright silly and pathetic for being scared!

Noelle: Don't you get cocky on me you two morons. You made a promise to me, so don't make me worry.

Fana: How can you be so despicable, all of you? I hate you!

Tyrus: Hate is a pretty strong word you're using there.... What could we have done so horribly and reprehensible that makes you want to hate a handful of strangers.

Vanessa: Now, guys! Counterattack!

Finral: Yeah, yeah. Sure! Give me one second!

Asta stabs his blades into the ground, as he looks directly at Fana.

Asta: Screw all of this before we get back to fighting! I think ought to have a tea talk.

Tyrus: Hard agree.

Finral: HUH?! Are you guys kidding right now?

Tyrus: 'Fraid not Fin, my friend.

Vanessa: Are you also forgetting the part where's she quite literally trying to murder you both?!

Asta: Y'know, you keep saying ya hate us and everything and it's like Tyrus said... what did WE do to piss you off so badly? What's your entire beef with the Clover Kingdom anyhow?! How are we supposed to form a common ground if all we ever do is scrap and kill one another?

Tyrus: Like explain in detail why the Eye of the Midnight Sun is causing all of this hell, kidnapping kids in Nean, trying to kill Magic Knight Squad captains and trying to steal these magic stones?! That'd be a nice fucking place to start.

Fana considers their words as the battlefield grows silent..... she doesn't say a word but rather simply inhales and exhales.

Tyrus: Oh shi-

Asta: Ready to talk?

Fana: How about I silence you both, permanently!

Tyrus: GET OUT OF THE WAY!

Tyrus moving immediately, watches as Asta gets slung back a thread from Vanessa, who then chews them out for trying to reason with someone so far gone off the sanity scale.

Vanessa: WHAT'D I TELL YOU TWO?! YOU CAN'T REASON WITH LUNATICS!

Tyrus: Yo, Finral! You know what to do, right?

Finral: Yep, don't worry I've got you both!

He gives his rookies a set of portals to dive through as the antithesis of Love looks around for her embattled prey. Just as she turned around, she gets caught by Asta from behind just as Tyrus comes from the sky. The non magic user is done playing around as his face contorts to one with rather visible intensity and rage.

Fana: How did you two-

Asta: Your old buddy Vetto, the one you keep accusing us of killing so callously? He had it out for us too, you're not alone.

Vetto: We, the Eye of the Midnight Sun, had golden dreams and bonds rich of blood! .....YES, DESPAIR!

Asta and Tyrus think back to their devastating encounter with the curse mage back in the Underwater Temple, when he went on destructive rampage, obliterating Luck, Magna and Gio, the highest ranking Temple Mage, before they alongside Kiato, Noelle and Kahono got their shots in, before the brother-sister tandem were severely injured by Vetto who he himself was ultimately defeated by the Black Bulls and killed by their captain Yami Sukehiro.

Tyrus: The guy was full of despair too, so tell us... what led to that exact breaking point? Asta and I along with our friends down there, we don't wanna hurt you guys as much as you want to hurt us.

Asta: We just wanna know why all of this? Why all of this unneccesary bloodshed? Help us.... TO UNDERSTAND YOU, DAMNIT!

The words they spoke to her, they rewind, and rewind in her head constantly. She flashes back to a memory with a familiar presence as she questions her friend.

Fana: Licht.... is that a... human?

Licht: Yes.... he's a very good friend of mine, Fana.

Fana: There's something very off-putting about him... I can't put my finger on it exactly.

The man, dressed in ornate clothing as if he belonged in esteeemed company or of a high political ranking chats among the people.

First Wizard King: I truly believe there will soon be a day when all of us can exist together in peace and harmony. Let us all foster understanding, love and loyalty among one another. Your elvish mana is something remarkable and to be held in high regard! If we combine that mana with our own magic-based technology, our lands will be safer and even more prosperous than it has been before! Hand in hand, let's work together for that vision of beauty and peace!

The same vision Vetto had before he went completely unhinged and slew by Yami, a wedding celebrating Licht and his new wife, bearing an eerie resemblance to a certain Golden Dawn royal as they celebrated the upcoming birth of their unborn child... only for that same hellacious flame shower attack to rain down on the Elves, causing unseen amounts of death and destruction and in turn the despair Licht had suffered and formation of the Eye of the Midnight Sun...... all before the seal broke before the foster brothers eyes, horrifying Noelle and the others.

Fana: YOU....... HOW COULD ANYONE TRUST YOUR KIND?! YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO PATRONIZE MY PEOPLE!

Noelle: ASTA, TYRUS! GET OUT OF THERE, NOW!

The clouds had darkened the forest, completely blotting out the sunlight as Fana's rage had now bubbled over the surface.

Fana: RAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, YOU BOTH ARE GOING TO DIE AND DIE BY MY HAND YOU SHALL!

Suddenly crystals begin to form on top of Salamander's exterior.

Asta: WHAT IS THIS MAGIC?!

Tyrus: IT'S- IT'S JUST LIKE THE DUNGEON, MAN!

Her eyes, no longer green but rather and hellfire red encapsulate her rage as her hair spikes while she roars her words as the boys fall off of Salamander.

Fana: THERE'S SO MUCH HATRED IN ME! DO YOU TWO INSECTS THINK YOU REALLY CAN WITHSTAND IT ALL?!

Asta: Tyrus, I know I'm not bugging but-

Tyrus: I know and you're not.... this woman has a third eye just like Vetto! DON'T TELL ME SHE'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE AS WELL?!

Kuraokami: MASTER, IF YOU AND YOUR BROTHER WISH TO GET GROUNDSIDE, NOW WOULD BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE TIME!

Tyrus: You're not kidding, hop on Asta!

Asta: RIGHT. WHOA, THAT THING IS GETTING MASSIVE!

True to his horror, Salamander was indeed getting massive. Talons were increasing in both size and sharpness, its muscles rapidly bulking and there was no end in the crystals being formed as well and teeth now the size of stalactites. The immense pressure and gale force winds knocks the Ice Spirit off of his balance sending the boys spirraling.

Asta: AHHHHHHH!

Tyrus: ASTA! HANG ON, MAN!

Vanessa: I'VE GOT HIM, LAND SOMEWHERE SAFE TYRUS!

Tyrus: I'LL TRY BUT THE DRAGON AND I MAKE NO PROMISES!

Noelle: TYRUS?!

Tyrus: Don't worry about me and the spirit, Noelle! We'll be fine, I hope!

Suddenly, Vanessa's strings on Asta's completely snap like toothpicks as he continues to fly away.

Vanessa: SHIT, ASTA!

Finral: HERE'S A PORTAL!

He harmelessly flies through a portal as the witch and noble take stock in the Flame Spirit's new power.

Vanessa: So not only does the big lizard get bigger, it has a new power?! It'd be nice to catch just one break, it doesn't even have to be large one to get us a victory!

Asta: WHOA, OOF!

Tyrus: Well at least I didn't break anything! WHOO-HOO!

Fana: Cheer now... because the flames of my HATRED..... WILL BURN YOU INTO OBLIVION AND SEND INTO THE ABYSS!

Tyrus: Yo, Asta... ready to show her how it's done? Kami, I'm going to need you on this one!

Asta: As much of a pain as it's going to be?! IT'S A GOOD THING I'M BUSTING OUT MY SPECIAL MOVE RIGHT HERE AND NOW!

They look at each other, smiling rather toothily as they prepare eagerly to take down their second Midnight Sun Third Eye Big Bad. Meanwhile as that fight was about to begin, the Diamond Kingdom trio of fugitive were doing their damndest to evacuate straggling groups of witches who had been caught in the crossfire because of the Midnight Sun's attack. Mariella flawlessly led them through the forest as Dominante was experiencing a more difficult trip.

Dominante: I've got an excellent idea!

Noelle: HERE SHE COMES!

The pressure once again intensifies as Salamander's wings just send everyone in separate direction, Asta and Finral going one with the other three landing roughly on some debarked trees.

Tyrus: AH! That's not going to be good for the back!

Asta: Come on, this is definitely cheating! The force of the heat just threw us all back like some ragdolls! I need some help to get close to her, WHAT THE?! TYRUS!

Noelle: Tyrus, get back here!

Tyrus: I'M ON HER ASS FOR THAT ONE, SHE CAN HAVE THAT ONE FOR FREE!

Noelle: THE IDIOT!

He flies on his spirit, making a beeline for Fana and Salamander knowing the risk he was undergoing hoping he could buy the others some time so they could formulate a plan .

Asta: I think... he's tryna to buy us some time, we need to make sure we don't let him down! Vanessa, you doin' alright over there? Finral, Noelle?

Vanessa: She definitely scrambled my senses just now but I'll be fine.

Noelle: I'll be fine, just a few scratches. I'm more concerned with that idiot brother of yours.

Finral: I'll live. Don't worry about me. I will say she's tricky, seems like she's using her immense power to generate a mana forcefield. Tyrus doesn't know that but he's going to find out soon enough if we don't do anything! I'm even having a trying time creating one of my portals now.

Vanessa: And the second I use any of my Thread Magic, it just burns right on up! This girl is untouchable and Tyrus just sent himself to the slaughter! So this is a spirit, huh? It's like fighting a God-Incarnate!

Tyrus: STAY STILL, DAMN YOU! I'M GONNA RIP THOSE DAMN WINGS OFF OF YOUR PRECIOUS SALAMANDER EVEN IF IT KILLS ME! Ice Spirit Magic, Frost Splitting-Ray Arrows!

He conjures up a spirit like bow and arrow set as he fires duo sets of arrows but every time they're about to connect towards his aggressors, they just melt on entry.

Fana: YOU'RE DONE.

Noelle: TYRUS, NO!

Asta: GET OUT OF THERE!

Tyrus: HAVE A LITTLE FAITH YOU GUYS- What the?

Noelle: NO, YOU NEED TO STOP! Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Cradle!

Asta, Tyrus and the others along with Noelle are swallowed by her most recent spell as Tyrus falls down, Kami having downsized now that her shield was in full play.

Kuraokami: Master... please get with that girl as snobbish as she can be.

Tyrus: Oh quiet you. Let her have this, she's definitely going to have a reason to hang this over my head.

Noelle: It's just like you to be all macho, I swear I don't know who's worse, you, Asta or Luck! Now what gives with her, is she the reason all these fires I kept putting out were returning with raging intensity?!

Tyrus: Yeah, she got her Third Eye just like Vetto.

Noelle: YIKES, MAYBE LETTING TYRUS TAKE THAT THING WAS THE BEST IDEA BECAUSE I WAS NOT EXPECTING SOMETHING TERRIFYING LIKE THIS! Like I said, I'll just knock this out and Tyrus, you and Asta can finish her off.

Vanessa: You're just who we needed, kiddo!

Asta: Got that right! Water beats Fire anytime!

Tyrus: Alright Noelle, have it at!

Noelle: This isn't good!

Finral: You're right... the water.... it's turning to steam!

Tyrus: So we're practically going to boil in here, not good.

Salamander raises its talon once more ready to extinguish the party's lives with fervor and sadism etched into Fana's voice.

Fana: Now..... Flame Spirit Magic: SALAMANDER'S TALON!

The liquid cocoon explodes but before anyone could draw their last breath, Vanessa with Noelle and Tyrus in tow and Asta and Finral on their own broom make a break trying to gain distance away from Fana.

Vanessa: Alright eveyone, hang on to something!

Asta: HURRY, SHE'S HOT ON AND I DO MEAN HOT ON OUR TRAIL!

Tyrus, now hanging onto Noelle stutters as he makes excuses.

Tyrus: Don't you s-start. This means n-n-nothing, Noelle!

Noelle: That monster won't be easy to take down, we need a lock down and bullet proof strategy. Still if we have a chance it's up to my Water Magic, and Tyrus's Ice Spirit!

Salamander finds them in the mist and locks eyes with the royal, growling as it locks onto its prey. Noelle while rattled shakes out of stupor and gets back to it.

Noelle: No, I know I CAN DO IT! I KNOW I CAN! I CAN! I CAN! I-

Solid: DON'T BE STUPID, NOELLE! Please you were born defective and nothing will EVER change. You'll lose just like you've always lost before.

Nebra: That attack of yours at the Underwater Temple when you saved your so called friend? Fluke because your emotions only spurred you on in the moment.

The young version of Noelle takes her siblings harsh words to heart.

Face it, you're nothing but a failure and will always be, mother-slayer.

Noelle: They're right.... I'm useless...

Tyrus: Who... THE FUCK GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO VALIDATE SUCH UTTER BULLSHIT, NOELLE?!

Asta: You are strong, damnit!

Noelle: Tyrus?! Asta?!

She looks around for her crush and other friend respectively not finding them but instead looking down at her wand as she's snapped back to reality, finding her squad mates shouting from a distance and into her ear.

Tyrus: WAKE UP, NOELLE! WE NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER! I NEED YOU, DO YOU HEAR ME?!

Asta: LISTEN TO ME, OKAY! YOU CAN DO THIS, WE CAN'T FIGHT THESE FLAMES NEARLY AS WELL AS YOU COULD! BUT YOU AND TYRUS CAN! IT'S UP TO YOU BOTH, SO SNAP OUT OF IT!

Noelle: Do you two have to be so loud?!

Vanessa: Right, I can feel headache coming on!

Tyrus: Ha-ha, you haven't even drank yet, how can the mighty Vanessa Enoteca be having a hangover right now of all times?

Vanessa: Who said it was a hangover, my numbskulled ice cube sweetheart? Anyways, Noelle sweetie, are you and Tyrus ready?

She purses her lips considering how much the foster brothers had meant to her since they first met. She did say they were the first two commoners she ever valued or respected. No matter how aganozingly so loud or dense they could be, they were HER friends just like the rest of the Black Bulls. One in particular potentially more than.

Noelle: Yes, Tyrus?

Tyrus rubs Kami on his mini head as he nods at the women.

Tyrus: Let's kick some fucking ass, Noelle! I'm right behind ya, you're the main focus of this attack, I've been working on something I've been dying to test out, hopefully it works out.

Vanessa: Right here we go, hope you're both not afraid of heights!

She flies straight into the air as they hold each other tightly as to not fall as Noelle closes her eyes thinking...

Noelle: Get it together! How many times have Asta and Tyrus given you the courage to step up and fight when they couldn't? Don't buckle now, Noelle Silva!

Asta: You've got what it takes you guys, take that big ugly down!

Noelle: LIKE WE NEED YOU TO TELL US WHAT TO DO DORKSTA!

Tyrus: JUST KICK BACK AND WATCH, BROTHER! WE WON'T LET YOU DOWN!

Noelle: YOU'VE DONE MORE THAN ENOUGH BOTH YOU AND TYRUS! NOW IT'S MY TURN TO GIVE YOU BOTH SOME OF COURAGE!

Tyrus: THEN WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR, LET'S GO HUNTING YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS!

Vanessa: Here goes nothing, you two! READYYYYY?!

Noelle: RIGHT! I only have enough mana in store to cast one spell of Sea Dragon's Roar! The question is what exactly was Tyrus, talking about when he said wanted to try something new?! EVERYTHING IS RIDING ON THIS ONE SHOT!

She begins the process of winding her attack spells as Tyrus pulls out his grimoire.

Tyrus: Keep charging, this is solely dependent on how powerful your attack is going to be, Noelle! We'll prove to everyone you're anything BUT a failure!

Noelle: Yes. NOTHING BUT A FAILURE, IS THAT RIGHT?! THAT'S NOT ME ANYMOREEEEEEE! WATER CREATION MAGIC, SEA DRAGON'S ROARRRRRRRRR!

Tyrus's eyes light up blue and silverish as he takes the chance at hand.

Tyrus: AND HERE'S A LITTLE INSURANCE, A LITTLE KICK TO IT IF YOU WILL! ICE SPIRIT MAGIC, SHOOTING STAR BARRIERRRRRR! AND WITH IT COMES A NEW COMBINATION SPELL! NOELLE SILVA'S SEA DRAGON'S ROAR FREEZES OVER WITH THE INTENSITY OF A THOUSAND ICE STORMS! I BRING YOU, FANA THE HATRED, THE MAJESTIC STAR DRAGON! AND WITH ITS RISE WILL COME YOUR FALL! GO FORTH YOUNG DRAGON, OBLITERATE SALAMANDER NOW! STAR-SHINE SHRED!!!!

Fana's eyes widen as shes witnesses the now frozen layer added to the still moving water serpent as it punches through Salamander's fireball all the way to the Midnight Sun big bad, and even with her throwing down more traps, it just rammed through them.

Vanessa: You shattered them!

Tyrus: I like to think Noelle did all the heavy lifting there, Vanessa! I just added the armor!

Fana: BEGONE.

Asta: LOOK OUT!

Noelle: WE'RE NOT-

Tyrus: FINISHED WITH YOU, DAMNIT! WHY DON'T YOU TURN AROUND YOU RAGE-A-HOLIC?!

The newly minted Shooting Star Dragon, coils around Fana as it harshly comes down on her, biting on Salamander, causing it to roar in immense pain! It then drags it up towards the heavens as the Flame Spirit continues to struggle helplessly against the clamped prison before it seemingly exploded.

Vanessa and Noelle: No Way!

Tyrus: Did we win, please tell me that did it!

Asta: AMAZING YOU GUYS HAHAHA!

Finral: We're alive!

Tyrus: Not too shabby, Noelle-

Fana: YOU MUST DIE. ALL OF YOU.

Noelle: Well, Asta, Tyrus. See? Bet you didn't know I was that powerful. Yay! I DID IT!

Tyrus: Nah, he definitely did. Only person who keeps underestimating themselves is you, Noelle.

Asta: He's right, you crushed that thing! And Tyrus, holy crap! You're even more powerful with spirit magic, dude! YOU TWO SHOWED THEM WHAT BLACK BULL MAGIC KNIGHTS CAN DO!

Tyrus: Eh, it's nothing really! Kami and Noelle did most of the heavy lifting if ANYTHING. I still need to get a grasp on some of these offensive spells he has to offer me if I have any plans on going anywhere.

Finral: Wow! Salamander's finally down for the count thanks your guys' combined attack. IT'S NOW OR NEVER!

Asta, Noelle and Tyrus shout a unified "RIGHT" behind the noble's declaration.

Noelle: Asta, Tyrus. Let's go!

Tyrus: SAY LESS!

Asta: I'M WAY AHEAD OF YOU GUYS! FINALLY TIME FOR MY SPECIAL MOVE THAT GOT DELAYED EARLIER!

Fana: You will die. Mineral Creation Magic, HARPE.

Similiar blades that a certain assassin mage from the Diamond Kingdom came at Asta and Finral.

Asta: HOLD ON TIMEOUT, HOW IS SHE USING MINERAL MAGIC?! THAT IS A CHEAT CODE IF I'VE EVER SEEN IT! Hang on.... this is just like-

Fana: Now Flame Recovery Magic, activating Phoenix Robe.

Finral: And she's got Recovery Magic too? SERIOUSLY, THIS IS NOT COOL NOR GOOD!

Asta thinks back to Mars yet again.... and it finally clicks in his brain.

Asta: I've seen it all before..... HEY FLAME LADY...... DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A BROTHER WHO'S INCREDIBLY PALE, HAS REALLY SPIKEY HAIR, LOOKS LIKE HE'S NEVER SMILED IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE BEFORE?!

His longwinded question seemingly breaks as her eyes widened.... and she's taken back to yet another painful time in her life.

Asta: CAUSE IF SO, HE'S APPROACHING FROM THE FAR END OF THE FOREST!

Finral: Come on, Asta! I thought we were done with the shouting. It's a miracle we're not deaf yet!

Fana: I..... I don't know that person! YOU LIE! IF I WERE TO EVER CLAIM ANY SIBLINGS.... IT WOULD BE LICHT AND THE OTHER VILLAGERS YOUR PEOPLE SLAUGHTERED IN FRONT OF MY VERY EYES! YOU FIVE MUST TAUGHT A HARSH AND PAINFUL LESSON, FILTHY HUMANS! I WILL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!

Asta: Damn it, I'm not gettin' through to her at all. I guess I'll just have to finish her with my special move I've been saving up.

Tyrus: We don't blame you for tryin to either, she's pretty stuck in her ways.

Finral: That reminds me, what the heck is this special move you've been saving up?

Vanessa: I've been wondering this myself, kid.

Asta: Hehehehehe! I've been waiting for you guys to ask me that.

Tyrus: Asta, I swear to God if it's just you hacking away at her like you did Vetto, I'm gonna kick you off of Finral's broom my damn self.

Asta: NO! As I was saying, I'm going to hold both swords out in front of me, move at a break-neck like speed and then I plunge them both into the enemy's magic!

Finral and Vanessa: IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!

Asta: WAIT IT'S NOT?!

Vanessa: Hm.

Maybe it wouldn't be... if we weren't right here!

Vanessa: You're always coming up with the most reckless and insane ideas. Let's give ya a hand with this new move of yours!

Asta: WHOOOAAAAA!

Vanessa: It's like I told you before Asta. Friends, they help you overcome a fate you can't defeat on your own! WE'RE HERE FOR YOU! AND YOUR SPECIAL MOVE IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE! HERE... WE GO!!!!!

The bungee slings him harshly as he goes flying into the literal belly of the beast's attack.

Finral: IT'S TOO LATE!

Despite a fireball seemingly incinerating him.... Asta simply charged through it and made it known he wasn't going to be denied victory.

Asta: YOU'RE NOT KILLING OR MURDERING ANYBODY HERE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!

Tyrus: ASTA, FINISH HER OFF ONCE AND FOR ALL!

He stabs Salamander right in its abdomen and like a balloon it splits on impact.

Asta: BULL THRUST!

WE WONNNNNNNN!

Tyrus: WAY TO SAVE THE DAY, ASTA!

Asta: ALL RIGHT! MY NEW MOVE TOTALLY KICKED HER ASS!

Fana just looked dead in the face.... she was still alive don't get it twisted but she couldn't believe it.... a filthy, low down human had bested her.

Fana: It.... can't be.... I refuse to believe it.....

She looks back on the day of the Elvian Massarce, staring at Licht... she had failed her friend's rich and haughty ambition.

Fana: I failed you.... Licht.

Wait Don't Go Anywhere Y'all. Before You Bounce, I'm holding a Vote here. I'm planning a fight very, very soon. As we all know the Queen of Witches possesses Asta towards the very end of this particular arc this and that. And I've already hinted that Asta and Tyrus would be throwing down at some point, but I want your guys' opinion on what type of weapon Tyrus should wield in the fight. Down below I'm going to post several swords. Some are duos, some are solos but the most votes in particular wins and that'll be one of Tyrus's new and signature weapons moving forward in Killer Ice. Happy Voting, Everyone!
