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 outside of Gauche, Noelle, Zora and their Captain Yami were reunited and on the fast track to assisting the Royal and Magic Knights in the Royal Capital in battling back against the vengeful race of newly resurrected elves who had possessed the bodies of many Knights.

Risacca: Fu-fu. How pathetic.

Xerx: Truly a shame for such a glorious and beautiful village, nothing lay but a pile of rubble.

Protobe: They should be just be finished. Anyone that isn't dead yet will soon give up against the grasp of death.

Kid: WAHHHHHHHHHH! MOMMY! DADDY! DON'T DIE ON ME!

Purple Orca Mage: It's n-no use! They're too strong!

Blue Rose Knight: Lord Xerx, Lady Risacca... why do this? I don't understand why is the Saint of Pure Ice attacking the people he's tasked with protecting?!

Coral Peacock Mage: If Magic Knights all over the Clover Kingdom are turning into monsters like these three have, we're as good as dead! The Clover Kingdom's destruction is at hand if we don't get help!

Green Praying Mantis: Sol, I'm- I'm sorry. I couldn't protect everyone like you could. But still.... I won't give up! Not until I draw my very last breath. I owe the people that much.

Xerx: I shall purify and cleanse this abhorrent pile of rubble you all call a home. Including you putrid stains of this world, you filthy humans! Ice Magic, hm?

Risacca: What's the trouble?

Xerx: It appears something due West is approaching us.

However the Black Bulls found themselves on a pit stop when it was discovered the elves possessing the bodies of three Magic Knights including the Purple Orcas Vice Captain Xerx Lügner were laying waste to the town of Hecairo. Funneling their magics together by way of the Raging Black Bull and a timely launching of Asta.... The elves within the Knights were quickly neutralized.

Meanwhile, Patry who had been playing Licht's duplicate had his own reincarnation completed at the unfortunate sacrifice of his only human friend, the person who with a body they shared, Golden Dawn Captain William Vangeance.

Vangeance: The admirable leader of the Magic Knight Squads and who I credit with showing me how to live my life.... It was the worst decision I ever found myself having to make in my brief life. But as time wore on, I found myself hurting my comrades. In the end, I could never completely stay on one side entirely. Which was why I let you both decide on the outcome. I.... I'm a monster. You got what you wanted. Julius, my dear friend and confidant. I'm sorry this costed you your life. Patry, you won and got what you truly sought after. And with your wish coming true. This. This is where we part ways, my comrade. So, farewell. Patry.

Patry: It appears I've spent way too much power, causing my body to fall asleep against my will. How long was I out for? Hmm... my own reincarnation has been completed. Which unfortunately means, William is now suspended in a long and endless slumber. This was probably the best outcome. Thank you.... my lone human friend. I will never forget what you have sacrificed to ensure the reincarnation of my race. Goodbye, dear William.

Patry: At this point, there is no human I'm no longer restrained in killing. Licht and Rhya should be heading towards the Royal Capital with all of our friends right now. I should be there to greet them. Clover Castle, the epicenter of humankind's foolish and inane bigotry....fitting it shall be the place where we exact our revenge. The royal families constantly live there..... they are the humans we despise the most and we shall kill first.

As he set off to join the real Licht, Rhya and the rest of the elves, the humans Patry used to sacrifice first to fuel the elven resurrection, Rades, Sally and Valtos also were revived due in large part to the former's combined lust for revenge and anger at their sudden suffering of betrayal.

Rades: GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! LICHT, I SWEAR YOU ARE FUCKING DEAD THE MINUTE I GET MY HANDS ON YOUUUUUUUUUUU! HOW DARE YOU THINK YOURSELF TO BE SO BOLD IN USING ME, THEN TRICKING AND KILLING ME IN ONE FELL SWOOP! I WON'T STOP UNTIL YOUR BLOOD IS ON MY HANDS, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! YOU TWO RISE AND SHINE! SALLY! VALTOS! AHH THANK GOD, YOU TWO BARELY HUNG IN THERE! THAT IN OF ITSELF IS A MIRACLE! WE WILL KILL HIM TOGETHER!

Seeking the aid of the Black Bulls, it would be swiftly denied and counter-proposed as Sally and Valtos had agreed to much more different reasons.

Charmy: Mulling it over, friend?

Valtos: Yes....

Charmy: Poor thing.... you're nothing but skin and bones. You need to eat up, have some food. Courtesy of the Black Bulls!

Valtos: My magic.... it's coming back real quick. Astonishing! It's so good!

Sally: Say what?! That's amazing! I'm starving too, Miss Black Bull! I'll take a bowl if you don't mind.

Charmy: Well of course! No one fights on an empty stomach!

Sally: OH WOW..... IT MAKES ME FEEL I CAN DISSECT THINGS ALL DAY!

Tyrus: Just.... make sure they're under some sleeping gas or outright dead before you do that.

Rades: Damn... Black Bulls! Not fair!

Asta: WELL, THIS FOOD MAKING YOU WANT TO SAVE THE CLOVER KINGDOM EVEN MORE?!

Tyrus: THEN YOU BETTER START DIGGIN' IN, FOOLS!

Charmy: EATTTTTTTTTTT NOWWWWW!

Rades: DAMN IT FINE, YOU WIN! WE'LL GO WITH YOUR SQUAD TO THE CAPITAL! BUT DON'T THINK THAT MEANS YOU CAN TELL ME WHATEVER TO DO!

Tyrus: We're the Magic Knights here, clown. You're under our thumb as far as I'm concerned!

Asta: And you quite literally just begged us to take you to the Royal Capital. You need us! GET OVER IT BECAUSE YOU'RE SAVING THE CAPITAL WITH US WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!

Rades: SHUT UP!

Tyrus: SAY SHUT UP AGAIN, I DARE YOU RADES!

Rades: SHUT- OW!

BONK!

Tyrus: I WARNED YOU, DIDN'T I?!

Charmy: GO ON, EAT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! MY SHEEP COOKS CAN KEEP THIS GOIN UNTIL YOU CAN'T EAT MORE!

Asta: LET'S GOOOOO! KEEP EATING!

Tyrus: THE SOONER WE'RE ALL STUFFED, THE SOONER WE CAN MEET UP WITH ALL THE OTHER ROYAL AND MAGIC KNIGHTS AND SAVE THE CLOVER KINGDOM!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Meanwhile as the Black Bulls and their sudden new allies resumed their trek towards the Royal Capital, Langris who had previously been in the interrogation of Magic Knights had appeared in front of members of the Golden Dawn and much like them had been reincarnated into an elf.

Latry: Yup, this was indeed all Patry's doing. Birds of a twisted feather flock together, I suppose. He definitely deserves many thanks for doing this. I know I'm itching to get my hands some human blood, especially those royal scum. So despicable, the lot of them! The Midnight Sun has set at long last. Time to show humankind the wrath of the reborn elven population in the form of a reborn Golden Dawn!

The Golden Dawn possessed race toward Clover Castle as the possessed Langris forms that ever iconic sadistic smirk on his face, like a developing tornado.

Latry: It won't be much longer, you arrogant and vile humans. The vengeance of the elves nears ever closer.

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

Kira XIII: I sure hope you have a very good explanation for this, House Vaude. If I read the reports correctly, your youngest son, Langris Vaude, the one who is supposed to become the future head of YOUR esteemed noble house, who is betrothed to my grand-niece mind you, the very same one who engaged in violent acts during MY Royal Knights Selection Exams and tried to kill his only sibling, is now under suspicion for potential treason?! The floor is all yours, and I do hope this was a simple miscommunication.

If looks could kill, then the egotistical monarch Augustus Kira Clover the Thirteenth would have long killed the father of Langris and Finral and mother who doubled as the Vice Captain's biological mother. Ledior and Liliane Vaude were in his Majesty's chambers, being grilled to the absolute maximum.

Ledior Vaude: We wholeheartedly agree with you, Your Majesty. While Langris might be a... little aggressive, a traitor is something he would or could never be! No one from the House of Vaude would ever betray the Clover Kingdom!

Liliane Vaude: Yes please believe my husband, my Langris would never consider betraying his beloved home or station as the next head of House Vaude!

Kira XIII: While that could be true, I still cannot allow anyone of my bloodline to marry some that may be a potential risk to the kingdom!

Finnes Calmreich, the King's great-niece as well as Langris's fiancée takes his attention off the nobility.

Finnes: Great-Uncle. I know Lord Langris, and as Lord Ledior stated, while he may come off as aggressive, he's never so much as shown an inclination towards violence against Clover. I ask that you ward off any suspicions about him-

Kira XIII: SILENCE FINNES! This matter does not concern you at all. AND YOU TWO SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT SHE EVEN CAME TO YOUR DEFENSE IN THIS VERY MOMENT!

He steps off his throne continuing to berate Finral and Langris's parents as she looks at them with pity and concern, thinking back to when Ledior introduced her to his sons.

Ledior: Yes boys. Please meet the lovely Lady Finnes. She is to marry the next Head to the House of Vaude.

Attendant: I apologize for the sudden intrusion Your Majesty, but we have a critical emergency! It's concerning those rampant mage attacks that have only grown more violent with each passing hour.

Kira XIII: DO NOT BOTHER ME! I'M CERTAIN ALL OF THE MAGIC KNIGHTS HAVE GATHERED LONG BY NOW, YES?! UNTIL I GET DOWN THERE, THEY ARE FREE TO DO WHATEVER THEY WISH!

What the king refused to see, the unpossessed Magic Knights were forced to bare the brunt of... the Golden Dawn mages who been reincarnated against their will.

Crimson Lion King Mage: So many Golden Dawn Knights.... what business do you have at Clover Castle? We are the Castle Knights, we have this place secured. Your group should go groundside and evacuate the citizens.

Latry: That's a nice offer and all. But we actually have business with the humans behind the door you're so adamant in protecting.

Crimson Lion King: How dare you make a sick joke like that when people are dying down there, Vice Captain Vaude?! Beyond this gate are where the three royal families and their trusted servants live. House Clover, House Vermillion and House Silva, you don't just get free access, you must have special permission to enter.

Latry: Heh, just another rule you arrogant humans made up. The thing is rules were made to be broken and they constrain us.

The possessed Langris raises his hand as he cleaves his way through the Castle Knights, who barely have enough time to dodge what would have been a fatal attack.

Latry: Clearing the way.... that's about what I expected you'd do with your lives on the line.

Crimson Lion King: TREASON! NEW ORDER, CAPTURE VICE CAPTAIN VAUDE AND HIS ASSOCIATES!

Some of the knights summon their magics just as Kivn, the elf possessing Letoile summons his useful defensive magic.

Kivn: Now go. Compass Magic, Willful Compass.

Four compasses come from all sides, protecting Latry and by extension Langris as the attacks shoot upwards.

Crimson Lion King: DO NOT FALTER!

Kivn: It's all up to you, Latry. We'll deal with the rest of the royal scum, handle the rest of the riff-raff that dares to interfere.

Elf: Understood.

Kivn: Baval, my group and I will take the right house.

Baval: Good, we'll take the left. Leave no stone unturned and no one alive!

Latry: Which leaves me with the most direct route. Straight to the throne of the current King. The most corrupt royal of them all and rip them all apart!

Crimson Lion King: Cease and Desist!

Elf: Actually, we should be saying that to you humans.

As the battle begins to intensify, Finral and Yami get to the bottom of the Clover Castle's stairway, taking in the massive destruction leveled by Langris.

Finral: So Langris really did all of that?!

Yami: Honestly I could give a fuck less about His Majesty and the other snot nosed royals.... but this ki. This ki is downright making me feel chilly all over. We got some pretty tough scraps ahead, Finral. We'll let the others handle the major groundside battles but get your big boys pants and boots, we're goin' in Roulacase!

Finral: Sir, yes Sir!

The minute, rather the mere second they reach the final step, they're greeted with the remaining Golden Dawn's attack force as they separate the duo.

Finral: I GOT YOU, CAPTAIN!

Yami goes through a portal as he then shoots the half to attack.

Yami: Dark Magic, Dark Cloaked Lightless Blunt Strike!

Yami nearly connects but the elf denies the attack as the foreigner is greeted with a wind based spell.

Finral: Damn, these guys are quite literally dripping in magic power! The two of us against what a dozen of them?!

Elf: You're not going to try and kill us? Utterly foolish.

Yami: Nah, you're the dumbasses here if you didn't think I was goin' to kill you. But see I'm not going to kill the person whose body you
snatched as if it were yours. Very bad fuckin' move.

Elf: Enough blabbering from you!

Yami: DARK MAGIC, BLACK HOLE!

Yami presses forward but again the wind mage prevents Yami from landing a critical blow on her elven ally.

Yami: Damn it... it's gonna be tricky taking all four of them on at once.

Elf: You must realize by now how futile your attempts are by now? It doesn't matter how many of you humans band together to attack us! You cannot-

SHINNNNNNNNGGGGG!

A sudden torrent of slicing magic runs down the middle, only stopping after crashing into the Castle

Finral: I'd know that freaky magic just about anywhere!

Jack the Ripper: Amazing job, you incredibly stupid bastards, keh-keh! Getting your bodies snatched, I mean really! But if you're pissing off Yami, then that makes for great entertainment in its own right, keh-keh, you're the ones most worthy of getting sliced up right now! So you all have my gratitude for showing up!

Finral: NO WAY, IT'S JACK THE RIPPER, CAPTAIN OF THE GREEN PRAYING MANTISES! ALL-AROUND ASS KICKING PSYCHO-PATH!

Yami: Oh yeah. Hey there, Bean-Stalk how's it goin'? Seriously our reinforcements had to have this unwound sadist slash masochist?

Jack: Aww, what's wrong there Yami? You and your underling want to get sliced up first?!

Finral: NO, NO FORGET I SAID ANYTHING CAPTAIN JACK!

Yami: And I don't know if you hit ya head but you did almost get me one time during the Star Festival. So watch where you swing next time! Honestly, we're glad these elves ain't get a hold of ya or else we'd really be fucked here String-Bean!

Jack: Where would the fun be in that, you stupid idiot. There's too many meatbags to slice up here today, AS IF I WOULD MISS THE CHANCE!

Elf: Humans..... WE WON'T ALLOW ANY OF YOU PUTRID, ABHORRENT HUMANS LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY! THIS IS WHERE WE SAY GOODBYE!

Stone, Poison, Wind and Ice Magic explode to the outer realm....

Jack: Severing Magic, DEATH SCYTHE!

Elf: Corundum Magic, IDEAL CLOSER! If you think that's strong enough to cut through my magic, then you've got another thing coming, NOW DIE!

The Golden Dawn Mage unsuccessfully smashes down on the squad captain as he laughs gleefully with the challenge proposed. Yami takes off after the ice mage but is at the same time knocked off by the wind and ice mages of the Dawn.

Jack: DEATH SCYTHE!

CRACK!

Elf: I warned you.... it's useless. How many times must I tell you this?

Yami: Tch! Tch!

Elf: Haha, your moves are totally obvious. We can see them coming from a mile away!

Yami: You're startin' to get on my last fuckin' nerve. Get out of the Golden Dawn, you little piss ant! Dark Magic, Dark Cloaked Lightless Blade Storm! Shit it's my taking my absolute all just to get a foothold on these clowns, readin' their ki and dodging their attacks! YIPE! HEY WATCH WHERE THE HELL YOU'RE SWINGING, YOU FUCKIN' BEAN STALK!

Yami barely dodges a errant Death Scythe as his fellow Grand Magic Knight continues to expend hellish amounts of his mana.

Jack: DEATH SCYTHE! DEATH SCYTHE! YAHHHHHH! THIS IS GETTING ME ALL SORTS OF EXCITED, DON'T CHANGE UP YOUR STRATEGIES NOW!

Yami: Looks like Jack is cranking up his crazy meter a little extra today, moreso than usual.

Finral: Two captains are seriously struggling this much?! Just how strong are these elves!

Yami: Hey Jack, what's the next idea you got running in that sick ass head of yours, you giant string bean bastard?

Jack: Keh-Keh, same thing you're thinking! My Severing Magic, Death Scythe!

Elf: You must have something going on in your head, I told you, your feeble little magic won't work on me- GAHHHHHHHH!

Jack: What YOU fail to realize, is there's nothing in this world that I cannot sever. NOW, YOU BETTER SHOW ME YOU'RE EVEN WORTHY OF BEING SLASHED BY MY MAGIC!

The stoned-armored man falls with a heavy thud as the other elves watch in horror.

Elf: I-Impossible.... the property of the magic changed itself?! But how!

Yami: Looks like someone made the mistake of getting caught off guard. Dark Magic, Dark Cloaked Lightless Blunt Strike!

He quickly but definitively one-taps the elf in the back of the mage's neck, effectively knocking him out.

Elves: HAHA, BIG MISTAKE!

Yami: Was it.... Finral!

Finral: ON IT, SIR! Spatial Magic, Fallen Angel Gate!

The member of House Vaude intercepts both blasts immediately to their shock, allowing Yami to spring out of nowhere and knock them out as well. They drop down in front of Finral.

Finral: ALRIGHT ELVES DEFEATED! NICE WORK, YOU TWO AS ALWAYS!

Yami: Don't think you can't take some of this acknowledgement, fool. You're gettin' the hang of this, Finral.

Jack: If you can back me up in a fight, then Yami must really know how to pick them out well. Nice job, you're not overly incompetent!

Finral sweats a little bit at the half-insult, half-compliment.

Finral: T-Thanks. Holy shit, Captain Jack is one scary individual!

Yami: OI, kid's my ride Jack. Try not to freak him out, he just woke up from his damn coma, jerk!

Finral: MEEP, THEY BOTH ARE!

Jack: Aw, let me borrow him sometime!

Yami: Fuck no, get your own transport next Entrance Exam!

Finral: This is nice and all but we REALLY REALLY HAVE TO HURRY! Hang on what is that?!

Jack: Keh-Keh!

They look at something.... just as disturbances ring throughout House Silva.... a majority of the house staff that hadn't left for the night on the command of Nozel had been slaughtered simply for associating with the Silva name because they were employees. Those who had clocked in.... were subjected to gruesome fates and they were not merciful at all. Kivn's Compass magic had worked its way through the last of the servants.

Noble: Golden Dawn, what are you doing?! You're the Magic Knights, you're supposed to exist solely to protect those of us in the upper classes- GAHHHH!

Noble: What is the meaning of all this chaos?! Don't they know they're in the Royal House Silva, we're only here to gather favor with the main figureheads of House Silva if anything, to see if they'd grant us a share in their power! YOU THERE, LOWLY COMMONER! BE MY SHIELD! THAT'S YOUR MAIN PURPOSE FOR NOBILITY SUCH AS MYSELF, NOW SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR THE GREATER- GAHHHHHH!

His demands are fatally shut down as a compass needle pierces him in the shoulder, nicking a vital artery on the inside of his body.

Maid: AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Kivn: You dare seek to use another human as a decoy? It's no use, fool. My needles will only pierce their true and intended targets, you think they'd waste themselves on a mere maid who has no virtual stake in this? It doesn't matter where you run, no matter how far you go, they will ALWAYS find you until they hit you. But alas, you're still human, woman.

Kivn gives her a merciful death, quickly using a needle to pierce her chest center mass, puncturing her heart.

Kivn: While I didn't wish to kill you, we're killing all humans anyway. So I guess one wasted needle doesn't make that much of a difference.

Solid Silva continued to lament over his defeat in the Royal Knights Exam at the hands of his baby sister Noelle. While he had free movement in his extremeties now, he still felt a stinging sensation in his right arm. It was safe to say, the Intermediate Knight was not a happy customer.

Solid: DAMN IT, DAMN IT! DAMN NOELLE AND HER LITTLE LAPDOG, IT SHOULD BE ME IN THE ROYAL KNIGHTS WITH BROTHER NOZEL RIGHT NOW!

Nebra: You really lost to Noelle.... how pathetic Solid, I guess she has something to hang over your head.

Solid: Shut up Nebra, and if I remember correctly not only were you on my team, you only also got knocked out by the commoner! What was his damn name, Tyrus?

Nebra: We just let our guards down. But in the case of that commoner, he definitely served as a motivator to our... sister.

Solid: Why did you just say "motivator" like that? You don't think there's something going on between them, do you Nebra?

Nebra: Why would I care what Noelle does in her spare time? So long as she's not bringing shame to the Silva name, she's free to do whatever she wants. But even I have to admit, I haven't been the greatest elder sister to her.

Solid thinks back to the match where Noelle utterly embarrassed him.

Solid: This is absurd! INSANE! INCONCEIVABLE! NOELLE SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS MUCH MAGIC POWER.... IN AN OFFENSIVE SPELL!

Noelle: You've done more than enough and you took down Nebra for me.... thanks, partner. As for you Solid.... you might. Want to block.

Solid: NGHHHH... TRY IT YOU LITTLE PIPSQUEAK, I'LL KILL YOU TWO RIGHT WHERE YOU STAND! It looks so strong and fierce.... is this Noelle's true power? DO YOUR WORST, YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING GIRL!

Noelle: SEA DRAGON'S ROAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!

Solid: Curse you a thousand- no a million times over Noelle! I will make you pay dearly for this, you and your little boyfriend or whatever he is to you!

Nebra: Maybe the commoner is just what you needed, little sister. I haven't been best sibling and I've given nothing but the worst times of your life, but I do hope to mend bridges with you eventually-

Nebra revels in her younger sibling's misery when she picks up on a elevated, almost evil power source.

Nebra: Hold on, Solid. Do you sense this presence as well? It almost feels... malignant, I want to say. I just suddenly came down with a bit of unease.

BOOOOOM!

Nebra: HUH?!

Solid: What the?! Is that a Magic Knight from the Golden Dawn? THIS IS OUR CASTLE, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING IN THE FAMED HOUSE SILVA, FOOL?!

Kivn: This magic power coming off of you two..... yes, you two must come of royal blood! WHICH MEANS, YOU'RE BOTH DESCENDANTS OF THAT ACCURSED AND TAINTED BLOODLINE! I'VE COME TO END YOUR LIVES AS RETRIBUTION FOR THE PAIN AND SUFFERING INFLICTED ON US, ALL THOSE CENTURIES AGO!

Nebra: Her power.... it's increased tremendously just off of her anger alone! Oh my, it seems not only that you're bold but you're lacking manners as well! Allow my brother and I to beat some into you as a courtesy of the Royal House Silva. Go Mist Magic, Solid Mist Clones!

Nebra Clones: I've been needing to get stench of failure off of not making the Royal Knights off of my being for a while, you'll make for great entertainment, but do try not to die on me so quickly... Mist Spider Thread's! Marvel at the incredible strength we royals are known for possessing for yourself!

Kivn calmly allows herself to be swallowed whole as Nebra continues to brag.

Nebra: As expected from a lowly commoner piece of trash. They'll always be beneath your heel, just waiting to be crushed.

POP!

Nebra: NO WAY!

A compass needle rips right through the cocoon, revealing Kivn to be unharmed and still steepling in her subdued anger much to the shock of Acier Silva's middle child.

Nebra: It had no effect on her?!

Kivn: Compass Magic. Useless North.

A lone needle springs up from its sphere and races towards an open space, but a painful grunt is heard.... as the real Nebra suffers a critical wound to her abdomen!

Nebra: I lost.... this is impossible. A Silva never loses. The clones did absolutely nothing to deter her senses in locating me.... that hasn't happened... ever!

Nebra collapses without saying a word, while alive, blood begins oozing ever so slowly from her wound.

Kivn: Such a underhanded spell. As to be expected from your pitiful, loathsome humans. Especially those tainted with the royal bloodline.

Solid: Oh no, NEBRA! SPEAK TO ME! HOW DARE YOU, NO ONE HARMS MY FAMILY AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! YOU SHALL REGRET HARMING SILVA ROYALTY SO BRAZENLY!

Kivn: That's comedic. You're royalty and you can't tell still?

Solid sweats even more but it's not just from the possessed Letoile...

Solid: Hang on, I'm sensing an even grander power coming from just outside the castle grounds!

Kivn: The end of all humans approaches ever so closely, you royal scum!

And she was correct.... the floating dungeon belonging to the elves had descended upon the Noble Realm as it began the slow climb towards Clover Castle. In the chaos, multiple mini structures were dropped from thousands of feet in the air, forcing both commoner and nobility alike to desperately scramble for cover.

Jack: Keh-Keh! Well, would you look at that, I wonder what's in the big myster rock ball? I bet it's even more fun the what we first got!

Finral: I appreciate your brutal honesty and positivity but there's nothing fun about that freaky looking thing! AT ALL! IN FACT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S THE ENEMY'S HIDEOUT WHICH IS EVEN WORSE!

Yami: Well, that's just fucking great. Who thought it to be a good idea to invite a giant floating rock to the party? But wait, I spy with my little eye, a pretty little birdie in the sky. More like an eagle.

In front of the elves hideout emerge, Nozel, Noelle, Zora, Kirsch, Mimosa, En and the unconscious Mereoleona.

Nozel: No matter what, even at the cost of our lives, we will not let the Castle fall.

Yami: Well, well, welcome back home, Yer Majesties.

Noelle: Captain Yami! Finral, you're awake!

En: Captain Jack's down there with the Black Bulls captain too?

Finral: I'm so sorry to make you worrry, Noelle! I know how rough it must've been without me around--

Noelle cuts him off to bring his ego down a few notches.

Noelle: I wouldn't worry about you if you went missing for a hundred years, Finral. Don't you even start your nonsense! YOU'RE SO WIMPY! AND I HOPE YOU'RE READY TO PICK UP ALL THE SLACK WITH ALL THE SLEEP YOU WERE GETTING TOO WHILE THE REST OF US WERE TRYING TO SAVE THE KINGDOM! Idiot. Besides I've got someone waiting on me already, so you're too late. Not that you had a chance to begin with. Still.... I'm happy Finral is okay. He had all of us worried on if he'd ever pull through!

Kirsch: OH, YOU POOR THINGS! Were you waiting on me and the beautiful anticipation of my entrance? Well, allow me to quench your desires for Kirsch Vermillion!

Mimosa: I really hope the Captains slice and dice you apart, dear Brother. No one missed you, I can assure you of that.

Yami takes a minute to scout the group consisting of royalty and En when he finally spots.....

Yami: Hey, I know you from somewhere.

Zora: Hahaha. Good to see you too, Psycho Captain Yami. It's been a long while hasn't it? Finally decided to join the Magic Knights order since the rest of you lot are damn useless.

Yami: What was your name again?

Zora: GAHHHH?!

Mimosa giggles at his misfortune as he yanks on the Black Bulls laden robe.

Zora: Alright you had your little fun there, Crazy-Man. But whether you like it or not, I am a member of your squad! The one filled with vagabonds, renegades and the occasional pinch of sensible assholes! AND YOU'RE THE ONE WHO GAVE ME THIS DAMN CLOAK SO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY, NOBODY ELSE TO BLAME BUT YOU!

Yami: Sure took long enough for to accept my offer, ya asshat. Welcome to the Black Bulls, I was gettin' tired of waiting and what not. Better get to it for wasting so much time, Zora. Same goes for you, Noelle! And where have you been, Captain Braids? Get held up with a hair appointment? From what I'm hearin' your House is a mess right now. You and Little Royal should get to steppin', like now.

Jack: Keh-Keh. Get your asses to the castle or we'll beat you there and hog all the carnage for ourselves!

The duo along with Finral race after Langris in a bid to protect King Clover as Nozel gains the biggest nerve cluster he had ever subjected himself to.

Nozel: Such..... nerve from foreigners and former commoners. And these two are my peers..... how much longer before they drive me into retirement?

Kirsch: Pay them no mind, eldest cousin Nozel. You're one the few I actually consider beautiful, inside and out.

Nozel: That's NOT making me feel any better, Kirsch.

Yami: Do whatever you need to do, Nozel and Vermillions. We're going after his Majesty to save his ass. I'm sure you know this but the enemy is wickedly powerful. Work as a team and don't play as lone wolves! Your only goal is to rescue the living and get the hell out of dodge!

Jack: Who the hell died and made you boss, Yami, Keh-Keh?!

Yami: I'm the one whose got more members on the Royal Knights between our squads, so shut up Bean-Stalk! NONE OF YOU IDIOTS ARE ALLOWED TO DIE, GOT THAT?!

Nozel: You're the last person I want to hear that from, foreigner.

Noelle overlooks her family's crest, signifying she was back indeed at THE House Silva.

Noelle: I'm really back home.... I would've thought I'd returned under better circumstances but I guess a return is better than no return at all. Tyrus.....

She gains a mental image of her boyfriend as he turns around, giving her a thumbs up and smiling.

Noelle: I hope you're okay wherever you're at... but I ask you impart some of your strength to me. I hope we see each other again at some point.

He disappears, the smile the last to go when she, Nozel and Zora are greeted with a gruesome sight. The littered bodies of the deceased left behind by the elf Kivn and her Compass Magic.

Noelle: This is beyond cruel. None of these people deserved to die like this, they didn't even deserve to die!

Nozel: I agree with you, Noelle. How dare these insidious monsters barge into our home and taint our castle with our allies' blood so casually? They will regret every bit of their foolish decision.

Zora jumps from the transport.

Noelle: Zora! Where are you going?!

Zora: Sorry Little Royal, but in case you forgot let me give you a refresher. I don't give the hottest shit about you royals or your fancy digs. Save your castle but I'm gonna do whatever the hell I feel like and beat up whatever elves are dumb enough to want this fight. Considering how many we're up against and probably invading this section of the castle alone, splitting up is the best option. I'll let Little Royal and her brother take the big bad, and I'll deal with whatever fodder said big bad brought along with them since I'm betting they didn't come alone. We gotta move smart.

Noelle: Zora, get back here-

Nozel: Just let him go, Noelle. He was selected to be a Royal Knight just as you were. So I'm sure Zora has his own style of fighting that would make it impossible for us to contribute to. Ready yourself, I sense a very powerful presence coming up ahead.

Elf: THERE YOU ARE, ROYAL TRASH! ARE YOU READY TO DIE?!

BING! PING! TING! DING!

Elf: HAHAHA! ARE YOU READY TO RECEIVE YOUR PUNISHMENT?! GAHHHHH!

A metal blade comes out and strikes the elf in the back of his neck, making him pass out immediately.

Nozel: I'd ask the same of you, but it seems you've lost your composure in front of my sister and I.

Noelle: With fine mana control, big brother is able to develop free transforming Mercury Magic for attack and defense.... it's like Tyrus when he took on Nebra's clones during the Royal Knights Exam! Nozel really is amazing.... I see why he was chosen as the Captain of the Silver Eagles after mother. Wait!

They stop short of a portrait, a life sized painting of Acier sitting in her throne when she was still living, long before she had conceived Noelle.

Noelle: Mother.....

Nozel: Prepare yourself, Noelle. We'll be going after the strongest elf first, her presence is coming from-

Noelle: No.... THOSE ARE SOLID'S CHAMBERS!

Solid fires off a Sea Serpent's Coil but to no avail, as a matter of fact none of his attacks were having success in hitting Kivn.

Solid: RAHHHHH! Her obscenely stupid huge magic power is getting in the way with those compasses. I CAN'T HIT THIS LUNATIC! What do I do, Nebra's dying and this crazy woman is only getting stronger!

Kivn begins to menacingly stalk towards Solid as he roars in defiance.

Solid: I WON'T DIE HERE! WATER CREATION MAGIC, SEA SERPENT'S COILS!

The elf quickly redirects his signature attack and it soons plasters the royal against his bedframe, soaking him in the same breath as he begins whining, with good reason.

Solid: This is getting me nowhere! DAMN IT ALL!

Nebra: Solid.... you must be smart but also be very careful. She's not joking around when it comes to killing.... us. Guhhhh.

Solid: STOP TALKING NEBRA, YOU'RE ALREADY HURT WORSE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE! AS FOR YOU, WE ARE ROYALTY!

Kivn: You've mentioned that.... and it's honestly beginning to grate my nerves. You're pathetic when you have nowhere to run. Face your fate, and DIE!

She sends three lightning blazing compass needles towards Solid as he screams for mercy when silver rains down upon him in a protective fashion!

Solid: NOZEL, IT'S YOU! AND NOELLE!

Noelle stares at the Golden Dawn possessed mage..... as she looks down at Nebra.

Noelle: Nebra! You'll pay for bringing harm to my family! Mana Skin..... WATER CREATION MAGIC, SEA DRAGON'S ROAR! I've got this bitch!

Or so she thought....

Kivn: Now Compass Magic, Willful Compass.

The compass ticks North as it sends Noelle's most powerful spell shooting through the roof of Solid's chambers, shocking all of the Silva siblings at the ease Kivn displayed in doing away with the Roar.

Noelle: No way, she sent deflected it before it could hit her?!

Solid: Not even Noelle's spell which got through the enemy's mana was able to punch through her?! This was the same spell used to defeat me during the Exams!

Nebra: Nozel....I know you two would come.... Noelle.... I'm sorry for all the r-rough times I've given you. I sincerely mean it. I can't believe my youngest sister... my baby sister Noelle, was able to field such an incredible spell like that. Maybe Tyrus... wasn't so wrong about you. But even as powerful as it was, it still didn't connect. I hate to admit but I'd only hold Nozel and Noelle back right in my injured state. Maybe a retreat is much more suitable. Mist Magic, Bewilidering Forest of Mist!

Kivn: If any of you royals think you're getting away, then you're foolish. I will kill you all. Compass Magic, Another Atlas!

A giant compass absorbs the entirety of Solid's room while dually clearing out Nebra's defensive spell.

Kivn: Your only way of escaping this place is by way of defeating me.... and trust me, you will find that a much difficult task!

Nozel notices his magic is being warped as at the same time he could not get a firm grip on it.

Nozel: That's strange.... I can't control my magic! That must be one of the effects of her Compass Magic.

Kivn: I noticed the look on your face and it's exactly what you're thinking. This spell forcibly disturbs all of the mana in this area! No matter how powerful you may seem, none of your attacks will hit me at all. AND YET-

ZOOM! ZOOM! ZOOM! PING!

Solid: AHHH! Eh?

Kivn: My spells will absolutely hit all of you, with no failure.

Solid: STOP HER, NOZEL!

Nozel: Calm yourself, Solid. You and Nebra would only be doing Noelle and I a tremendous disservice if you fought with us. Stay out of it. I'll-

A wounded Nozel barely fazed by the attack with his body telling a different story as he commands Solid to butt out but both are dually shocked to see-.

Noelle: Big brother Nozel. Big brother Solid. Big Sister Nebra. It's alright. I went through all that training..... I will succeed... I shall succeed. I can do this! LISTEN WELL, ELF! I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BRING ANY MORE HARM TO MY FAMILY, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!

Nozel: Let's go Noelle. We shall show this idiotic intruder the true might of the Silva name, wear your name and emotions proud, youngest sister.
