Noelle Silva lay in a warm and protective cot.... everything had came at the youngest daughter of Acier Silva like a blur. One minute she and the Black Bulls were getting to root on her boyfriend in the Triumph, then four intruders invade said event, then Captain Yami sent the group of her, Tyrus, Finral and Asta to the Branch Zero Magic Research Facility only.... to.... that's right it came and went..... the previous Wizard King Conrad Leto, leader of the once infamous Magic Knight Squad White Serpent had stolen her vast mana and with it, her Water Magic. She stay unconscious if only for a few more minutes, before opening her sterling pink eyes to see a near endless opening. She springs up.

Noelle: Where am I?

Which alerts both her cousin Mimosa Vermillion of the Golden Dawn and her fellow Black Bull squad-mate and boyfriend, Tyrus Hail who wasn't without his own scrapes and bruises following he and Asta's encounter with 27th Wizard King.

Tyrus: Noelle? Well hey there, Sleeping Beauty! MIMOSA, SHE'S AWAKE!

Mimosa: Try not to move so suddenly Tyrus, Yuno brought both you and Asta in bad condition! It's a miracle- Noelle! We're both so happy you're awake! The same goes for you, try not to move so suddenly, Cousin. I'm sorry, the best I could provide you like Asta and Tyrus was first aid.

Noelle: Mimosa.... Tyrus.... wait what happened to you?!

She fights against fatigue when she notices the several locations of bandages and gauze wrapped around her significant other's body, his custom headband which he received as a Sweet Sixteen birthday gift from Vanessa, had been soaked in blood was now replacing his forehead with a bandage which stopped the most significant part of his blood loss, and areas included both of his forearms and his abdomen bandaged heavily.

Tyrus: I fought Conrad along with Asta.... it was one of the few times I let emotion override my logical sense. Just seeing you fall into my arms the way you did.... all I could do in that moment was see red. And before you berate me just know, I don't regret a single thing.

Noelle: Figures.... typical Tyrus.. and I'm so glad you made it out Mimosa.

They allow her up, her hair now free-flowing with the ribbons she had started putting into them only a few weeks ago on top of her Black Bulls robe with Yuno approaching the trio.

Yuno: We should be safe in the meantime. Right now, you're standing in a Golden Dawn emergency shelter. Given it's still under construction, only myself, Captain Vangeance and a few other members like Mimosa know about its location.

Mimosa: They tried capturing everyone's magic in one setting at the arena. But the captains used what little energy they had left to give us the chance to escape.

Mimosa and Yuno recount the horror-filled moments after Conrad unleashed the Sword of Elsdocia's power, Yami, Nozel and the other captains in attendance at the Triumph, including Knights like Selene, Tyrus's twin sister and Intermediate Knight Fourth Class, Sol her superior, and an injured duo of Solid and Nebra out with Yuno's Towering Tornado.

Yami: Take care of the kids for me. You hear me you two?

Tyrus: Damn it, Captain Yami......

Mimosa: Everything happened so fast afterwards, the next thing I knew is that Yuno had brought you two, Asta and your other squad-mates in horrific conditions. And the captains still haven't reported in yet or even made an appearance.

Tyrus: And don't let the bandages fool you, the blood loss is mostly healed thanks to Mimosa but my pride? Far from it.

CLANG!

Tyrus: What the hell was that?

They all turn around to find an equally if not more bandaged up Asta being helped up by senior members of the Golden Dawn.

Golden Dawn Mage: Hey, are you all right kid?

Mimosa: Asta's up?! Please excuse me, you guys!

Tyrus: Stay here, Noelle. Don't move so fast. We'll be right back.

The trio immediately rush over to Asta and the two other Golden Dawn members.

Mimosa: Asta, please! Don't move so quickly, not until your treatment is over!

Asta blatantly defies her begging as he stares into the reflection of his Demon Slayer Sword....

Asta: Con....rad..... He needs to be stopped!

Tyrus: We know man... we know. But we can't exactly fight if we're in a piss poor shape.

Asta: He's going to destroy the entire Clover Kingdom! And everybody in it will die, if we don't do anything... the entire world ends tomorrow!

Praying Mantis: Did he say at dawn?!

Aqua Deer: How are we supposed someone so strong if we don't have the forces?!

Female Praying Mantis: Why would a former Wizard King....

Blue Rose Knight: What could we possibly do against four of them at the same time?

Sekke, who was in the process of throwing his own pity fiesta, dives in front of crowd surrounding Asta, who was being helped up by Secre, Tyrus, Mimosa and Yuno. And boy no one would blame the First-Class Senior Magic Knight for quaking in his boots the way he was.

Sekke: OH COME ON, WAKE UP, ALL OF YOU! WHAT COULD WE ALL DO AGAINST SUCH TERRIFYING POWER?! IF THERE WERE EVER AND I MEAN A TIME TO RU-HA-N AWAY! NOW'S THAT TIME! IT PROBABLY WON'T LONG BEFORE THEY FIND THIS BASE SO WE SHOULD PACK OUR GRIMOIRES AND MAKE A RUN FOR IT! WE CAN MOVE OUT, MAKE A NAME FOR OURSELVES ELSEWHERE! MAYBE THE HEART KINGDOM WILL TAKE IN REF-HA-UGEES! THIS ISN'T JUST A FIGHT WHEN CAN WIN!

Praying Mantis: Sekke says a lot of outlandish things, but he definitely brings a good point up.

Crimson Lion King: Yeah bringing in the other nations wouldn't be such a bad idea to help us out.

Female Aqua Deer: There are injured people here, and we're dealing with a potential mass genocide right now... getting them across the border would be tough as it is.

The quartet sense the growing dissension amongst their fellow servicemen and women..... and they wouldn't exactly blame them for the blossoming fear... until Asta stabs the Slayer Sword into the ground.

Asta: Cut all of that crap out, right now! The hell are all of you guys talking about?! RUNNING AWAY?! That's exactly what they want us to do! WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NOW! WE HAVE TO PROTECT EVERYONE AND THING IN THIS KINGDOM! IF WE DON'T, WHO WILL?! Even if we fail, we can still at least try! WE... ARE THE MAGIC KNIGHTS OF THE CLOVER KINGDOM, ARE WE NOT!? WE ARE NOT COWARDS!

His words start resonating with those who actually flinched in their duty as Tyrus despite his own numerous afflictions stepped up next to Asta, who gives a soft-hearted smile.

Tyrus: We've been able to live happily and peacefully thanks to the Wizard King and the past mages who looked out after us when we were all little. They protected us when we were born, when we were all kids, before we even received our grimoires and joined their squads! THEY FOUGHT FOR US, NO MATTER HOW BADLY THEY WERE OUTMATCHED, THEY NEVER BACKED DOWN, THEY WIPED THE BLOOD THEY SHED OFF AND KEPT ON FIGHTING! AND THEY WERE LED BY THE WIZARD KING! MAKING SURE THE COUNTRY WAS SAFE FOR ALL TO LIVE IN WITH PEACE AND HARMONY OVER ALL! IT'S THANKS TO THE SACRIFICES THEY ALL MADE THAT WE EVEN HAVE THE CHANCE TO FIGHT BACK AND THE CLOVER KINGDOM EVEN EXISTS LIKE IT DOES TODAY! WITHOUT THEM, THEIR POWER OR PASSION, WE WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE, NOW WOULD WE!?

Noelle: Asta.... Tyrus....

Asta: I won't tuck tail and run just because I have the opportunity to do so. I would rather die than turn my back on this country. It's my turn to look after everyone in the Clover Kingdom. For everything that the Wizard King and the captains, past or present have protected.

Tyrus: And it's not just him...I will stand alongside Asta. HELL IT'S ALL OF OUR DAMN TURN TO TAKE THE FIGHT TO THESE WIZARD KINGS OF LEGEND! THIS IS POSSIBLY OUR ONE AND ONLY CHANCE TO DEFEAT PEOPLE GREATER THAN ANY OF US, HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU GET TO FIGHT A WIZARD KING OR QUEEN OF THE PAST?! TO PUT YOUR NAME IN THE HISTORY BOOK, THAT'S SOMETHNG THAT SHOULD JUICE YA UP, MOTIVATE YOU ALL!

Asta: I'll heal up from this injury just like I have from any other one, with my indomitable fighting spirit! AND WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON CONRAD, I PROMISE YOU ALL I WILL KICK HIS ASS THIS TIME, WORSE THAN ANY OTHER TIME HE'S GOTTEN BEAT IN HIS LIFE! Ah....

Tyrus: Take it easy, buddy. You're hurt way worse than I am!

Tyrus along with Secre prop him up by his arm, Mimosa holding his other one and Yuno his back. He silently thanks them all, then gives the other Magic Knights who were in the emergency shelter, high and above a courageous look.

Asta: We can stop him, and the other Wizard Kings Tyrus talked about! I know it won't be easy, but it's better than just running. We may not be strong enough to stop on our together, even if we come together. But if we can... one by one, squad by squad, we can be even mightier than Conrad and them. We can be something... unstoppable.

Tyrus: Isn't that the point of us all coming together and taking up the mantle to become Magic Knights? If all of us come together, we can overcome someone even as powerful as four Wizard Kings. I know we can!

Noelle looks at her neatly tucked and folded Magic Knights' robe and ribbons...... the words of her significant other and her fellow Intermediate Magic Knight, her friend Asta hitting her deep in the soul. She too, wanted to avenge her possibly deceased older brother and injured siblings Solid and Nebra.....

Tyrus: However don't let our confidence dissuade you. Sekke himself brought up a damn fine point. Asta and I won't force you to come alongside us on what more than likely could be a mass suicide mission. If you believe you don't have what it takes to combat them, then get whatever you have on you and flee to the Heart Kingdom or any other nation that'll take you in. We won't stop you.

Asta: But please if any of you guys are willing to extend your power and heart to me for this fight, then please stay with me and help fight this growing threat!

Noelle throws on her robe, a shot of her putting on and adjusting her ribbons before her satin-smooth voice is heard.

Noelle: It's a good plan on paper, you two. But still not much of a plan given we have a couple of reckless morons leading the charge... but as long as I've come to know the both of you, it's to be expected. I meant what I said when I said your attitudes rubbed off on me just a little bit. So... I'll lend you a hand, don't worry.

She salutes before both of her squadmates with Secre following Noelle.

Selene: I'm with you and Big Brother, Asta! Whatever you need!

Tyrus smiles at both his twin and girlfriend, relieved his sister survived her encounter and the salutes coming pouring in for Asta. Tyrus soon joins the act with more Magic Knights saluting the magic-less miracle.

Tyrus: We've got your back, Asta. Kick Conrad's ass something fierce.

Yuno: And as if I'd let you two participate in something without me. Not a chance in the world.

Asta gives his signature cheeky smile.... and does his best to salute his fellow Magic Knights.....

Asta: ALL RIGHT, WIZARD KING JULIUS ISN'T HERE TO LEAD THE CHARGE FOR US! And right now, we can't rely on our captains since they've been captured! BUT THEIR ABSENCE SHOULDN'T DETER US ANYHOW! THE BATTLE IS NOW ON OUR HANDS TO TURN THE TIDE!

Tyrus: AND SEND THESE UNRULY THREATS BACK TO THE GRAVE! BUT NOT UNTIL WE'VE GIVEN THEM ALL A THOROUGH ASS WHOOPING!

Asta: AND NOW, IT'S OUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE HERE AND NOW! FOR THEM! I'LL SAY IT ONCE MORE IF YOU DIDN'T CATCH IT! LOOK AROUND, ALL OF YOU! YOU ARE ALL MAGIC KNIGHTS OF THE CLOVER KINGDOM! WE FIGHT AS ONE, AND AS MY CAPTAIN WOULD SAY! RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW! WE SURPASS OUR LIMITS, AND SAVE OUR COUNTRY AND HOME!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Bell: So what's our plan of attack?

Tyrus: Didn't you just here us, my pip-squeak little friend, we're gonna whoop their asses, preferably as one group!

Bell: YOU'RE WHAT?!

Sekke tries running away and despite the motivating dual speeches, decided to take the easy way out and honestly who would blame the Bronze mage.

Sekke: Ughhhh, I can't take this anymore, ha-ha! They're all fools, they'll all wind up getting themselves ki-ha-lled! Even if it's just me being the smart one, I'll escape come hell or high water!

What he had not accounted for, was the door turning a steamy and orange-y color and with the next step he took, the door went BOOM-BOOM!

Sekke: BAW-HAHHHHHH!

Steps were heard and in the smoke and brimfire carrying Sekke by a fire-paw...

Mereoleona: What's with all the pussyfooting and hiding? Now's not the time for empty words, you two passionate but ever hot-headed children!

And out of the smoke following the Vermillion, would be Marx Francois, Cob Portaport, Blue Rose Knight Captain Charlotte Roselei, leader of the mighty Golden Dawn William Vangeance and Sekke's own superior Jack the Ripper, captain of the Green Praying Mantises.

Asta: LADY BIG-SISLEON! AND MORE CAPTAINS! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU GUYS WERE- OW! OW! OW!

Before he could batter the eldest of House Vermillion, a fire paw rains down on Asta's head.

Mereoleona: And who are you to call me, "Big Sis-Leon", kid? Don't assume I was dead either... I was bathing after doing my own brand of intense training.

She recounts the events of her being on Yultim Volcano, a strong magic region and how Marx and Cob came across her after a long soak.

Mereoleona: Well, well, I'm guessing you being here must mean something fun is coming my way, yeah?

Vangeance: Unfortunately, Ms. Vermillion wasn't the only one who was alerted of what was going on too late. I was on a mission with Jack. Fortunately, he and I weren't caught up in the initial attack that seems to have immobilized Yami, Nozel, Fuegoleon, Dorothy, Rill and Kaiser.

Charlotte: The same goes for me. Now that we are here, we will join your mission in rescuing everyone being held hostage in the Clover Kingdom.

Jack: KEH-KEH! Hope you don't mind, but we also brought alongside some people who didn't get caught in all of the misery going around. We figured they're looking for their own revenge.

He refers to En Rigard, a knight in his own ranks, and Rick Cornell, a Coral Peacocks member as they continue to scope the barrier holding the Flying Fortress hostage.

Jack: Yeah they're pulling their own weight, surveying that big ass fortress. Apparently they're saying Yami and the other captains are alive currently, it's their power that they were after. It's the barrier they're trapped that they're concerned about however.

Asta: Captain Yami.

Tyrus: Typical. It would be off-brand for the guy to croak that easily.

Noelle: Thank goodness, Nozel is alive!

Charlotte: I'M SO GLAD, YAMI IS ALL RIGHT! I COULDN'T HANDLE YOU DYING!

Vangeance: There's something I've been pondering though. Why hold all of the citizens and the most powerful Magic Knights captive. They could have at any moment killed them once they drained all of their mana.

Secre: It's because Conrad needs all of their magical powers. Currently, he has the Imperial Sword, Elsdocia in his possession and he's supplying their power to his co-conspirators. In a sense, they have unlimited magical power with all of the captains held hostage.

Tyrus: And piggy-backing off of what Nero stated, he wishes to use the Imperial Sword to wipe out all of the Kingdom, build a new one from scratch.

Jack: KEH-KEH! So Yami and the others are basically unwilling livestock?

Asta: OH MAAANNN! That's right, he told Ty and I that he needed boatloads of magic power. His evil plan depends on it, otherwise it fails!

Vangeance: Ah... so that's why we're dealing. Thank you all for your insight. But when he does siphon off all of the captains powers.... Yami and the others will be- Right! We don't have a lot of time on our hands, we must spring into action, now. Asta, Magic Knights! Gather up all of your guts, fortitude and magic power. Today, we take our kingdom back!

Asta: RIGHT!

Charmy: But before we go fighting a life or death battle-

Tyrus: Eh?

Asta: Huh?

They look all around them before they find Charmy on top of Asta's beige-colored hair.

Charmy: LET'S EAT AND GET THOSE TUMMIES FILLED TO THE BRIM!

THWACKKKK!!!! SMASHHHHH!

She then promptly smacks two two-layer cakes onto their faces which they easily vacuum and devour.

Tyrus: Charmy?! But if you're here, then that means-

Vanessa: Correct there, cutie pies! Thanks to both my adorable little Rouge and Captain Yami, we were able to escape and with all of our magic power no less.

Noelle turns around to find Vanessa and the rest of her squadmates descending down a flight of stairs.

Noelle: You guys are okay!

Vanessa: Noelle! I'm glad you, Asta and Ty are all right. Unfortunately by the time we got back to the hideout, it was trapped inside one of those damned barriers, so Gordon and Henry are currently trapped, but they let us know that they're okay for now.

Noelle: Good then I guess our first mission is to free them out of their prison, yeah?

Tyrus undoes all of his bandages, which the Black Bulls witness, as he lastly throws on his birthday-gifted headband, shirt and robe on.

Tyrus: You're damn right, and then we get your fucking magic back, Noelle. No way will I let Conrad strong-arm me into making some damn deal with the devil.

Noelle: I'm grateful. Let's do it, then.

Vangeance: The Black Bulls hideout, yes? Mimosa, can I ask you to use your Magic Flower Guidepost?

Mimosa: Yes, of course, Sir!

She brings it up as all of the Captains and Knights look at the visual of the Triumph Arena.

Charlotte: The Imperial Sword has already absorbed tremendous amounts of power of both Magic Knight Captains and citizens alike. Like Tyrus said, Conrad's plan is to then drive into one vein of mana called a singular point.

Jack: Keh-keh! And that's the end of the Clover Kingdom as we know it. BUH-BYE!

Yuno: Given we what know about the Wizard Kings of the past. It's safe to say Conrad's magic and the Imperial Sword went hand in hand to their revivals.

Tyrus: Yep. Mimosa, if you'd be as kind.

Mimosa: On it.

She then brings up images of the co-conspirators, Tyrus then gives a summary of each of the three Wizard Kings.

Tyrus: Conrad's running buddies like Vice-Captain Yuno said... weird. Anyway the three from what I've read up on in the Royal Library are Jester Garandros, 16th Wizard King, went by the alias Mad King, you have Princia Funnybunny 10th Wizard Queen, and my fellow ice magic user, Edward Avalaché, the 20th Wizard King.

Asta: So what if... yum. If we smash the sword into pieces, do we stop their powers?

Vangeance: It would stand, given how cautious Conrad has been with Elsdocia's usage thus far. Thank you, Ms. Pappitson.

Mereoleona: RIGHT! Then we have our goals. We are to rip the Imperial Sword out of Conrad's hands and destroy it by any means necessary! Do whatever you need or deem absolutely appropriate to prepare for battle! Dawn approaches in six-seven hours give or take, that's our time limit!

Everyone prepares for battle, with Charmy preparing endless mountain bowls of food with her Sheep Cooks, Finral leading his squad-mates somewhere, Mereoleona, Jack, William, and Charlotte ascending the many stairs and knights of undetermined gender grabbing brooms.

Tyrus: One more time... now Noelle!

Noelle: HMPH! Ah!

He stands at the side as she conjures a waterball but just as suddenly as she did, it exploded.

Noelle: I still can't use any of the spells in my grimoire but thanks to Charmy's food, I have my magic back.

Tyrus: Here I believe my number one girl is going to be needing this where we're going.

He hands her the grimoire belt pouch accessory and grimoire.

Tyrus: I know you can't your more lethal spells, but seeing you? It's gonna give them a lot of motivation going forward. I say we seize on it while we can, yeah?

Noelle: Thank you. Are you doing all right?

Tyrus: Noelle, I won't lie. I was scared when you collapsed after I freed you. But you being back to your usual self? I'm charged up and ready to go. Let's go save our damn home.

Noelle: Right! Here let's get a read on how your magic is going. Right now, I'll focus on what I can handle right now! And that's helping my squad-mates!

Vanessa repairs Asta and Tyrus's headband now void of any tears and blood. Speaking of the former had finally come undone of his bandages and gauze, his attention only diverted by the witch coming into the room.

Vanessa: Was figuring this was the place you stalked off to, kiddo. I already gave Tyrus his stuff, now it's your turn, Asta.

Soon the sun slowly began to break loose with the Captains, Mereoleona, Yuno and Tyrus all going off before Asta called out to his foster brothers.

Asta: Guys! Hey, wait up!

Tyrus: Hey! Looking good, buddy.

Asta: I feel good!

Yuno: I take it you're both healed then. You two ready to give these four a beating they'll never forget, Asta and Tyrus?

Tyrus: Now you already know what I'm going to say.

Asta: OH YEAH!

They do their signature fist bump as we get a look at the Black Bulls hideout, also encased in the same barrier that held most of the Clover Kingdom hostage. And the usually lonely Gordon Agrippa, was wondering where everybody was at.

Gordon: This is most strange, when I came back for training, Henry was the only person left here. And it appears former Wizard Kings have been brought back to life and taken over the capital. I wonder where all of my friends are at, surely they're still not at the Triumph Arena.

Charlotte: HAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Gordon: Captain Charlotte?! What is she doing here?

Jack: KEH-KEH!

Asta: GORDDDDDOOOOON! HENRRRRRRRRRYYYYYY! NO BARRIER IS GONNA STOP ME FROM FREEING MY FRIENDS, OUT OF MY WAY!

While the trio go in and assault Jester and Princia's magics at work, we get a look as to how the plan was formed.

Vangeance: First, we'll go in and rescue those that are being held in the Black Bulls hideout.

Tyrus: Yes, Gordon and Henry may not look it, but they are two of the most important pieces of our squad.

Asta: Don't- get us wrong there, we're grateful and all but are you sure that's where you wanna start, Captain Vangeance?

Vangeance: I understand your reservations, given the limited firepower we have access to. So we have to be wise in how we unleash it. Plus we're in need of transport and as Tyrus alluded to, if we can free Henry and Gordon, the former can absorb an excess amount of mana and the hideout to transform. Something large but also preferably safe as well.

Yuno: I see where you're going with this, Captain.

Mereoleona: Don't you get it, kid? Tick off some very important boxes we need to get off our shopping list. If we have your base and other squadmates, we don't have to worry about any stragglers.

Charlotte: While that is true, we cannot forget just who were up against. Conrad is a mighty foe who has stolen many types of magic over the course of his life. It's safe in assuming that he'll be able to cancel out just any normal magic attack.

Vangeance: This... is where you're going to come in Asta. Anti-Magic neutralization, meaning you can essentially negate anything Conrad throws at you. And since that is your weapon along with your trio of blades, you'll be our best shot of taking Conrad out.

Tyrus: While the rest of us will take the fight to the other Wizard Kings, buy you as much time as you need.

Vangeance: Exactly, well put Tyrus. So, with all that considered, what say you, Asta? Are you ready to take back your base and free Gordon and Henry?

Asta: Yes, Sir!

Asta takes to the massive barrier while Charlotte and Jack fight off the massive legion soldiers... after a quick struggle, the barrier quickly shatters.

Asta: ALL RIGHT!

Tyrus: QUICKLY EVERYONE! IN THE HIDEOUT, NOW!

The Black Bulls swarm the hideout soon with other noticeable faces joining in the mayhem.

Gordon: Welcome back friends, oh my! So many new faces!

Asta: HENRRRRYYY! What's the story looking like? Can you get us off the ground and running?

Henry emerges from the darkness and immediately begins to drain everyone's mana.

Henry: I've... got you... all covered!

Charmy: QUICKLY! WHILE HE DRAINS, YOU RECOVER BY EATING LOTS OF YUMMY TREATS AND DON'T STOP EATING!

MUNCH! MUNCH! MUNCH!

The Black Bulls lead the charge with the other faces in the crowd, including Selene, Sol, Leo feasting, feeding Henry all of their excess power.

Henry: I.... have never.... felt... this much... magic power... before!

Tyrus: KEEP GOING, HENRY!

Soon the base begins glowing from the inside and excess mana Henry feeds off of begins transforming the Black Bulls hideout!

Asta: SOOOOO COOOOL! The Black Bulls are really flyin' in style, now!

Tyrus: A'ight Cap'n Henry! Let's get this thing airborne, man!

Sekke: Hold up, is this thing really going to fly?!

Henry: If there's enough.... magical..... power..... then I think we should be good to fly!

They watch as Jack and Charlotte slice, dice and bundle hundreds of legion soldiers with more actually passing by the Squad Captains and pushing the flying vehicle upwards.

Vangeance: They're a lot more resistant than I would have expected, damn it.

Jack: Keh-Keh! Severing Magic, Death Scythe, LUNATIC SLASH!

Charlotte: Briar Magic, Crimson Vine Spear!

Everyone becomes amazed at the destruction displayed as scrap metal goes flying by the wayside.

Selene: That's our Captain! Kicking ass and taking names, even if they're made of metal!

Tyrus: Don't celebrate too quickly twin sister, more incoming!

True to his exclamation, more of Princia's magic come exploding out of the sky to the disgust of Charlotte and excitement of Jack the Ripper.

Charlotte: More and more just keep coming out of nowhere.

Jack: Keh-keh! I can't believe I'm actually saying this but now I'm getting pissed off!

Sekke looks to his right and begins to stutter.

Sekke: Ah-ah AHHHHHHHHH!

To his horror, a growing tower of legion soldiers had continued to just swell uglily and soon as the Black Bull vehicle had parted the clouds it was revealed to be a literal wall..

Jack: Keh-Keh! Looks like a perfect opportunity to slice up!

Charlotte: We shall stop them here! They will NOT stop with our mission!

Jack: YOU ALL GO ON AHEAD!

Asta: CAPTAIN JACK! CAPTAIN CHARLOTTE!

He tries to budge but Tyrus and Yuno stop Asta in his tracks.

Yuno: Hang on, Asta.

Tyrus: They're Grand Magic Knights, buddy. We can't doubt their heart and intellect. Captains Charlotte and Jack, they know what they're doing.

Yuno: And if you go chasing after them, we have no chance of defeating Conrad! Think Asta!

Asta: I know... but there's no way they alone couldn't.....

Vangeance: You'd be right... normally two wouldn't stand a chance. But with a third man, that strengthens the odds, wouldn't you say?

The stalk of a tree springs up William as he goes flying and surveys the massive wall, grimoire lit ablaze.

Vangeance: World Tree Magic, GREAT MISTILTEINN TREE! Everyone, go now while you can. Charlotte, Jack and I will keep them busy.

Yuno: Captain Vangeance!

Henry: Are.... you... all ready?

The engines glow furiously and the vehicular base takes off in the hole William provided them. The newly minted Vice Captain silently growls knowing he had to forcefully leave his direct superior behind.

Tyrus: Oi.

Asta: Yuno!

They offer their hands once again which cause Yuno to smirk and return the gesture of their ever iconic promise.

Vangeance: Yuno.... I leave the Wizard King to you, Tyrus and Asta's care. Be careful, my Vice Captain. Well now, I figure this is appropiate is it not, Jack and Charlotte? Shall we ask our barbarous guests to leave the easy or hard way?

Mereoleona: All right, listen up everyone. We maybe down our three captains, but we're still diving into the heart of enemy territory. Hey, Asta!

Asta: Yeah?

Mereoleona: This is your type of thing! Handle the pep talk, kid.

He looks unsure but soon find the Black Bulls staring at him before his own foster brother Tyrus, the unofficial Vice Captain in a lot of their minds, Tyrus bumping him.

Tyrus: Don't look at me, Asta. I'm good at them but you leave us always wanting more with your rallying speeches.

The other Magic Knights co-sign Mereoleona's action and Yuno slightly smirks.

Noelle: You can do it, Asta. Say something that'll get us ready for the big fight.

Asta: RIGHT! LET'S DO THE DAMN THING EVERYONE! LET'S GIVE THESE WIZARD KINGS AN ASS KICKING THEY'LL NEVER EVER FORGET AND TAKE THE CLOVER KINGDOM BACK!

YEAHHHH!!!

Princia: Interesting.... It seems I've received a report from my soldiers. The rebels have begun their counterattack. How do I respond to them?

Conrad: They decided to resist. You're our famed and feared military strategist, Princia. Do whatever you see fit. As I figure you would do, if you were in their shoes. Julius. It is time for the grand finale. And hopefully your seat is the best seat.

Julius: Let me guess... is that why you've kept me alive this entire time? Even after you've drained me of almost all of my power?

Conrad: Yes. Those you love. Those you wish to protect. I want the images of their slow and agonizing deaths to be some of the lasting images burned into those insufferable purple eyes of yours. As well as those final hours you may have in your life. Die as you come to terms over how powerless you were to stop everything in front of you, False King. Only with your true death will the beginning of the new Clover Kingdom rise and begin. I hope you're ready for change, let the stunning light show begin!

The Flying Fortress then stops on the central-most part of Hage Village, the town that proudly claimed Asta, Yuno and Tyrus as its native sons, followed by a giant barrier growing over the Forsaken Realm village. Orsi Orfai, the trio's adopted father and Sister Lily Aquaria, the person of Asta's affection watched in shock as the barrier continued to swell.

Father Orsi: What is that?!

Grey: W-w-whoa! That's so enormous!

Secre: Correct, it's also so much more powerful than the one that had covered the Black Bulls hideout as well! This will be tough to shatter.

Luck: Hey look over there!

Suddenly, a mass of sharpened objects appear in front of the barrier with Jester popping up.

Jester: Well, well. What's with this last desperate attempt of power you've managed to squeeze out. Ah, might as well see what it's all about. I'll be totally honest, you're fighting a hopeless battle here! Name a Wizard King that has ever been caught off guard in battle? Oh right... YOU CAN'T! WE NEVER LEAVE OUR BLIND SPOTS OPEN!

He fires off a massive cannon blast which hits the Flying Black Bull, blinding most of the Magic Knights inside.

Jester: Haha! What's your next plan of attack? I wouldn't totally blame you if you tucked tail and ran!

The vehicle continues to charge forward despite the heavy attack it and its occupants just endured.

Sekke: This is how much power the enemy's dealing with? This is sui-HA-cide! This guy's in a totally different league than we are, what do we-

Tyrus: No losing your nerve here, Sekke!

Magna: Our Little Rex's right ya know! Besides it ain't y'all turns to shine yet. Let us handle that Grade One Bozo. We just gotta our surpass our limits, yeah?

Tyrus: Exactly, let's do it! Or rather, y'all do the damn thing!

The Bull charges forwards, cannons now armed and open for supressing fire.

Magna: YOU ALL READY?! LET'S SHOW THIS FUCKER WHAT THE MAGIC KNIGHTS ARE CAPABLE OF!

YEAH!

Magna: FLAME MAGIC, GARGATUAN EXPLODING FIREBALL!

Selene: FLAME MAGIC, MAGMA TWISTER!

Luck: Lightning Magic, THUNDERBOLT DESTRUCTION!

Gordon: Posion Magic, Forbidden Fruit!

Henry: Okay, everyone.... are.... you... ready?!

YEAAAAHHHHHHH!

Tyrus: FIRE AWAY, HENRY! LET THAT FRUIT CAKE HAVE IT!

Henry: RIGHT...... AWAYYYYYYYYY!

Blasts emerge from the cannons every five seconds but the assault towards the 16th Wizard King with Gauche riding his broom.

Gauche: Mirror Magic, LARGE REFLECT REFRAIN!

Summoning a cage of endless mirrors, the blasts rapidly bounce off of ex-convicts mirrors, but their destinations are still the same, pierce Jester Garandros one way or another.

BOOOM!

Henry: GOOOOOOOOOOO!

Despite the magic of the disgraced Wizard King initially resisting against the overwhelming pressure placed against his magic, they soon overheat the crystal and pierce through but bounce off the Hage Village shield rather harmlessly. But their victory was short-lived as two doors were unlocked revealing the real-time physical forms of Edward Avalache and Princia Funnybunny.

Sekke: BWA-HA! NOT AGAIN!

Tyrus: Stay strong, everyone! We can do this, Finral!

He nods.

Finral: Right.... Here we go, Spatial Magic, Fallen Angel's Gate!

Successfully avoiding the other two Wizard Kings, the base flies through Finral's spell uninterrupted!

Princia: Well, well. They're a smart bunch.

Grey: WHOOOOAAA! We're heading right for that giant barrier. OHMIGOSH, OHMIGOSH!

Finral: Grey's right.... that barrier's interfering with my magic... I can't get us through there. But luckily for us all.... I know someone who can! Asta, we're counting on you, buddy!

True to his word, Asta had made his way to the outside, Demon-Slayer armed with the base ever so closely approaching the base....

Yami: Asta... I know you can do this, kid!

He activates his devil powers, the very same one that got him into hot water, as the Demon-Slayer Sword rapidly grew in size into the evolved Black Divider. He swings it to the left, centering it ever so carefully unaware of the looming dangers behind him.

Edward: Face us, so we may get this over with, boy. Hm?

A trap rune appears underneath both he and Princia's feet before two hands touch their backs.

Tyrus: Mana Zone, Starfire Breaker, Body Needle Freeze!

Zora: Heheheh! Did you really think we wouldn't expect you idiots trying to catch the musclebound shrimp at his weak point? Thank you for walking into our trap rather easily, you two walking corpses!

Princia: You think paltry magic like this can-

Tyrus: Ah, shut up! Nero, it's on you!

Secre appears through a portal, magic armed.

Secre: Sealing Magic, Eternal Prison!

Noelle: Finral! Do it now, while they have them distracted, don't give them the chance to fight back!

Finral: On it, don't worry! Also I don't care if you have a higher rank than me, I am still your superior, Noelle!

He sends two beads inside Eternal Prison, attaching them onto Princia and Edward who then disappear.

Finral: Got them! We're good!

Tyrus: Nice work you three! Now we just hope and pray Asta can crack the barrier!

Asta: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

BOOOOOOOOOM! CRACKLLLEEEE!

Jester: Didn't I tell you all? IT'S UTTERLY HOPELESS TO RESIST SINCE I DON'T HAVE A WEAKNESS!

He sends several sharp projectiles onto the Black Divider which ultimately have no effect but he himself comes from a higher distance and wheelbarrow kicks the giant sword with a heavy thud!

GOOOOOOONGGGGG!

Asta: WHOA!

Tyrus: ASTA! EVERYONE, HANG ON!

They go sinking down off of the collision and all looked bad before Mereoleona sprung up from her portal and punched the Black Bull flying transport up.

Asta: Wow! Thanks for the assist, Mereoleona!

Jester: HU-HU! You do realize that my barrier has been fortified with the Imperial Sword, so even if you managed to break through, it would just regenerate with no problem! Now then to ensure to OUR perfect world and Clover Kingdom, we should probably, I don't know eradicate those who get in the way of our dream, yeah? NOW BEGONE MAGGOTS, THIS IS THE END-

Yuno: Yeah-

Tyrus: For you clown!

Jester: Eh?

All he gets for that is a Swift Gale Bow and Polar Cyclone for his troubles.

Tyrus: Yuno! I leave him to you!

Yuno: Don't worry, I still owe him for the cut he left on my face.

Jester: OHHHHH, YES! I LOVE IT WHEN MY INFERIORS STRUGGLE FOR ME! SHOW ME WHAT ELSE YOU GOT FOR ME, KID!

Yuno: Gladly! Mana Zone: Tornado Fang, DOUBLE ATTACK!

Jester: YOU LITTLE PUNK, IS THAT SUPPOSED TO HURT ME?!

Magna: NOW, EVERYONE FIRE AT WILL!

The continuing onslaught of attacks overwhelm Jester as the Mad King gets pushed into his barrier, before he sees the Hage Trio of Hope standing armed to the teeth.

Asta: ONE MORE TIME!

Tyrus: Right!

The engines once more light up angrily as Henry calls out.

Henry: ARE YOU..... READYYYYYY?! LET'SSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOO!

Tyrus: ON YOUR WAY YOU GUYS, MANA ZONE: POLAR CYCLONE, MOONLIGHT BLIZZARD! LET HIM HAVE IT, ASTA AND YUNO!

His magic swallows both of his foster siblings up before promptly spitting them out at furious speeds.

Jester: NICE, I AM LOVING THIS FIGHT OUT OF YOU THREE!

CLANNNNNNNNNNNGG! CRACKKKKK! THROOOOMMMM!

Asta: HAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

CRACK!

Tyrus: MAD KING! GET THE HELL...... OUT OF OUR WAYYYYYYYYYY!

Asta and Yuno: LET'S GOOOOOOO!

Asta's Black Divider successfully blasts through Jester's mini shield and the barrier holding Hage hostage and sending him and Yuno flying inside.

Jester: HA-HA! WELL NOW, COLOR ME IMPRESSED YOU THREE BRATS! NOT BAD AT ALL! But too bad only two of you made it through.

Asta realizes Jester's telling the truth... Tyrus let alone everyone didn't make it through.

Asta: HANG ON, GUYS! TYRUS!

Tyrus: Don't worry about us Asta, it's like I said! We're gonna deal with the other Wizard Kings, buy you as much time as you can get with Conrad!

Mereoleona stands next to Tyrus as she sets her looks dead on Asta.

Mereoleona: We're countin' on you, kid. You better beat the absolute shit out of Conrad! BRING THAT MANIAC DOWN!

Asta: Yes Ma'am! I'll make you guys proud!

Tyrus: No doubt, Brother! YOU TWO BETTER NOT DIE ON ME OR ELSE I'LL REVIVE YOU AND KILL YOU BOTH MY DAMN SELF!

Asta: ALL RIGHT, CONRAD! WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!

Asta and Yuno begin the pursuit of Conrad before the latter sets his sights on the Licht's Demon Skull.

Yuno: Asta, look down there!

Asta: It's him! But why is he out here in Hage?

Yuno: No... that's the vein Captain Charlotte, Tyrus and Nero were talking about! The skeleton of a demon?

Conrad seemingly smirks acknowledging the boys' presence with just up ahead-

Jester: OH, NO YOU WON'T! THIS IS AS FAR I'LL LET YOU GO, YOU TWO RASCALS!

Just then a giant crystallized axe goes flying past the both the Golden Dawn and Black Bull, tracking Asta's every movement before Yuno blocked the next attack!

Yuno: ASTA! YOU GO AND STOP CONRAD! I'LL DEAL WITH JESTER! GIVE HIM EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!

Asta trades looks with Yuno but all he gets is Yuno's signature cheeky smile which the former acknowledges whole-heartedly. He, Tyrus and Yuno always would have each other's back but never interfere straight up in the other one on one fights.

Asta: YOU GOT IT, YUNO!

Asta darts for Licht's Demon Skull with Jester attempting to give chase but a wind cyclone stops him all together.

Yuno: It's time... Bell, let's go!

Bell: Thought you'd never ask, Yuno!

The Wind Spirit known as Sylph kisses his cheek and adorns him in his transformation. One half-crown, wing and his Spirit of Zephyr later.

Yuno: ALL OUT FROM THE START! SPIRIT ASSIMILATION, SPIRIT DIVE!

Mereoleona takes in Yuno's tornado as it begins to die down, his transformation fully complete. She then looks at all the remaining forces.

Mereoleona: ALL RIGHT, ALL REMAINING UNITS! GET TO YOUR BATTLE POSITIONS! OUR PLAN WORKED AND WE SUCCESSFULLY STRETCHED THE ENEMY THIN!

We find Edward in the Yultim Volcano Strong Magic Region with several portals appearing, the first revealing Zora.

Zora: Heheheheheheh. Hey there, you Old Bag of Bones bastard. Long time, no see yeah?

More reveal the Black Bulls, with Vanessa, Secre, Gauche coming through their own, Luck, Magna and Grey through their own.

Mereoleona: NOW EACH OF YOU NEED TO FIGHT IN YOUR PLACES WITH THE PRIDE OF YOUR MAGIC KNIGHTS SQUAD ON YOUR BACKS AND IN YOUR HEARTS! SHOW THEM YOUR BURNING PASSION WON'T BE SO EASILY DEFEATED! IF YOU DON'T, YOU WILL ANSWER TO ME!

We find Yuno clashing with Jester, neither giving the other man an inch to breath!

Mereoleona: AND ANOTHER THING! NONE OF YOU IS ALLOWED TO DIE! YOU FUCKIN' HEAR ME!?

We find Princia subjected to the sandy dunes of where Jack and Vangeance were spotted earlier prior to everything going straight to hell.

Mereoleona: IF YOU DON'T FIND YOURSELF VICTORIOUS OR YOU DIDN'T SUFFER ANY MORTAL AND FATAL INJURIES, I'LL BURN YOU TO DEATH MY GODDAMN SELF! UNDERSTAND ME HERE, NOW AND CRYSTAL CLEAR! IF YOU DON'T WISH TO DIE! THEN YOU WILL WIN, EVEN IF IT FUCKING KILLS YOU TO WIN THE DAY!

After Mereoleona crashes into the sand and flashes Princia a devious smirk, we find the last of the Black Bulls, that being Finral, Tyrus and Noelle emerging from their portal, the middle of the trio in his own Spirit Dive.

Vanessa: Already kiddo?

Tyrus: Damn straight, 'Nessa. These Wizard Kings, they're nothing to play with. That ass whooping I took from Conrad learned me something fierce.

Noelle: AND WE WON'T LOSE!

Tyrus wields his Spirit of Desponia, signature Spirit Dive Sword as he points it at Edward.

Tyrus: BLACK BULLS, YOU ALREADY HEARD IT FROM MEREOLEONA! BUT WE FIGHT FOR OURSELVES, AND OUR GODDAMN CAPTAIN! EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU...... SURPASS YOUR NATURAL LIMITS IN THIS INSTANCE LIKE I KNOW YOU GUYS CAN!

Black Bulls: RIGHT!

Princia: You're not pulling out any special tricks to use against me? How unfortunate that I have to be pitted against such an underwhelming enemy.

Mereoleona: OH? You were expecting tricks, parlor fare and thrills tonight? I'm not some fuckin' weakling who can't win an honest fight. You're barking up the wrong tree there, lady. Princia Funnybunny. A feared warrior amongst the ranks of all the Wizard Kings, whose combat strength was absolutely unrivaled at the height of her prime, MIGHTY EVEN AMONGST SAID WIZARD KINGS! According to the history books, it is often said, you have never lost a fight either, no matter how bad things looked on your end. No. No tricks here, just my God-given strength, exceptional mana flow and my two fists. I don't need anything else to beat you within an inch of your life. A FAIR FIGHT TO SEE WHO REALLY IS THE APEX PREDATOR!

Princia: Very well.... I see that I should take back my words. Legion Magic.... ENDLESS DOMINATION! If you want the honor and glory of facing me in combat one on one.... then prove your worth!

The royal does exactly as demanded, raising her fist up and carving a chunk full of her soldiers to melted scrap metal.

Mereoleona: AND I HAPPILY ACCEPT! BUT, YOU BETTER NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT HOLDING BACK ON ME, YOU HEAR ME!?

END OF PART FOUR OF KILLER ICE: SWORD OF THE WIZARD KING!
