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.

Magna: Heh? What's up with that freaky lookin' boulder in the sky?

Villager: What is that?

Female Villager: Where did it even come from? And why is it glowing?

The dungeon floats ever so menacingly as Luck's lightning begins to crackle even more violently than ever at the sight of seeing humans wonder so curiously not knowing the plight of their soon to be horrific situation.

Luck: Oh boy.... I think it's high time for some more fun. Those royals left before I could kill them, maybe these humans won't scurry off as quickly.

The newly reincarnated elves who had possessed the bodies of Royal and Magic Knights alike were continuing their march to the royal capital in an effort to wipe out all of humanity. Luck who was one of the many possessed began to rain down havoc upon a neighboring village eager to start the cleansing but immediately happened on by his nearby squad mates of the Black Bulls Magna and Vanessa.

Magna: This can't be right.... the damn bastard should be with Asta, Noelle, Ty and the rest of the Royal Knights taking out the Eye of the Midnight Sun. I was expecting to find the town under attack, but-

Vanessa: To see one of our own being the sole reason people are screaming and running away from the chaos. It's not right, even if he loves to fight, he would never take the fight to innocent civilians.

Magna: So why.... Luck?!

Realizing after a few minutes that this wasn't their battle-loving Luck but rather an elf possessing his body and magic, the witch and commoner from the Forsaken Realm fought a fierce battle.

Rufel: Nicely done, you two aren't as dumb as you looked! And by the way, those Royal Knights you were talking about and your friends? They're all completely wiped out, we killed them all.

Rufel: So let me leave you guys with a little advice. If you plan on getting in the way of my fun, THE SAME THING IS GONNA HAPPEN TO THE BOTH OF YOU!

Rufel: Wait a second.... for some reason, my kick ended in a completely different place.

Meoooooooowwww!

Rouge, the Red Thread of Fate and Vanessa's kitten familiar sits on Rufel's shoulder as he remarks in the unique magic with respect.

Rufel: Oh I see, this must be some sort of spell to protect your friends, right? It's so cute and interesting! Too bad I'm going to kill it like I will you two.

Despite their efforts and Rufel's seemingly never-ending power, Magna and Vanessa quickly found themselves overwhelmed against a mighty adversary aiming to kill.

Rufel: I'm sorry but let me repeat what you just said..... Who can't win against who, humans? This fight has already been determined, and it ends with your bloods splattered all across this village. Now prepare to die!

Magna: Keep on talking bastard.... I'll keep chucking as many Fireballs at you as I have to until Luck wakes the fuck up!

Rufel: Forget it.... Your attacks as lucky as they were, will never land again!

He zooms all over the field blowing craters out of the vacated buildings.

Magna: He's too fast.... I can't see him, it's like streaks of Lightning all over the place!

BOOOOM! BOOOOM! CRACK! BOOOM! CRACKKKKK!

Rufel: YOU SLOW HUMANS NEVER HAD A CHANCE, YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP UP WITH ME!

Magna: I thought this fucker was already a monster but now... it's like we woke a completely different side of him!

Rufel: Awww, were you two looking for me? I'm so touched but that's the wrong way!

Rufel: Game over.... isn't that what you told me, human? Awww, were you two looking for me? I'm so touched but that's the wrong way! WELL!

BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

Rufel: Don't tell me my pretty... YOU'RE NOT GETTING TIRED ALREADY, ARE YOU?! PLAY WITH ME SOME MORE! I HAVEN'T EVEN BROKEN A SWEAT YET!

Rufel: Hahahahaha! I did warn you both about getting in my way. It was fun while it lasted but now.... now I'm going to kill you.

Vanessa: M-Magna... I'm sorry.

Magna: Let me go, bastard.

Rufel: Now every single human, starting with the accursed royalty of the Clover Kingdom will be eradicated.... and you two will be the first in a long line of the slaughter that awaits! That's the fate you deserved, given that's the fate your kind inflicted on mine. Fair enough, don't you think!

Magna: Shut... the fuck up.

Vanessa: Can't let him... die and I don't want to hear another word out of you, you monster.

Magna: It doesn't matter to me or Vanessa... if you're an elf or not, fool. Because I'm done talking.... kill me, get this shit over with if you're really about it. Luck is the one we're talking to, so again kindly shut the fuck up. Get the hell out of that body, IT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU, CLOWN!

Vanessa: Luck's a mischievious little brat who always dives head first into a fight and gives us more trouble than we need.... BUT HE'S STILL LIKE ONE OF MY LITTLE BROTHERS! LET GO OF HIM RIGHT, YOU LITTLE FREAK!

Rufel: All of you humans are traitors, why should I believe a single word that comes out of your mouths?! Don't make me laugh, there's not a single thing that can undo the reincarnation spell, especially whatever flimsy little bond you have with the original one who had this body, this Luck person! THAT WRETCHED HUMAN'S SOUL HAS ALREADY BEEN ERADICATED BY MY OVERWHELMING POWER, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Magna: Is that so.... is that so? Well if that's how we're playing it-

Magna: While you were off goofing with Asta, Noelle and Tyrus, I was working my ass off, getting stupid strong so I'd make sure you wouldn't leave me in the dust! IF THAT PISSES YOU OFF SO MUCH TO THE POINT OF CRYING, THEN DO SOMETHIN' BOUT IT, GET THE HELL OUT HERE AND SQUARE UP WITH ME, YOU GODDAMN BATTLE-SLUT!

Rufel: That's.... ENOUGH!

Vanessa: LUCK, DON'T THINK IT'LL BE SO EASY TO GET RID OF US! MY- MY RED THREAD OF FATE WILL NEVER LET YOU GO, YOU GOT THAT?! TAKE CONTROL ONCE AND FOR ALL AND COME GET A DRINK WITH ME, YOU LITTLE SHORT STACK!

Rufel: NO, SHUT UP! HE IS GONE, HE WILL NEVER COME BACK!

Vanessa: I won't!

Rufel: I SAID SHUT UP, SHUT UP! YOUR ATTEMPTS ARE FUTILE!

Magna: DAMN IT, WAKE UP BOLTY!

Rufel: IT'S OVER!

Vanessa: Please... No.

Rufel: I told you already..... IT'S OVER! HUMAN!

Vanessa: MAGNA, NOOOOOOOO!

Rouge: Merooooooowwww!

Asta: LIKE I'D EVER-

Tyrus: LET YOU HURT OUR GODDAMN FRIENDS!

When all seemed lost, Asta and Tyrus onto the battlefield and another hellacious fight ensued. And thanks to some last minute ingenuity between the Bulls, they trapped the elf possessed Luck.

Tyrus: Yeah.... it's powerful. BUT OUR DREAMS ARE SO MUCH MORE GRAND AND RICHER!

Rufel: THERE YOU ARE!

Vanessa: I got you guys!

Magna: ONE LAST SHOT!

Tyrus: LUCKKKKKKK, EVEN IF IT KILLS US! WE WILL BRING YOU BACK, IDIOT!

Rufel: He used the thread to mess up my timing?!

Vanessa: ASTA, TYRUS! DO IT NOW!

Magna: HE'S WIDE OPEN!

Tyrus: YOU'RE DONE ELF! RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Tyrus: NOW ASTA!

Asta: Your rage is strong but our bonds and feelings are so much tougher! YOU LOSE!

BANNNNNNGGG! CRACKKKKKK!

Rufel: NGHHHHHHHHHH!

Vanessa: WOOOHOOOO!

Magna: ALL RIGHT!

Rufel: Ah?!

Tyrus: AHT AHT, GET YOUR BODY SNATCHING ASS BACK HERE!

Tyrus: Hurry Asta, I can hold him but if Luck is somewhere in there, he's gonna be a slippery fucker!

Asta: Right, let's end this here and now!

ZAPPPPPPPP!

Asta: AHHHHHHH!

Tyrus: GAHHHHHHHH! Just how much fucking power does this elf still got?!

Rufel: You humans are done for, why don't you just accept that?

Magna: YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHEN TO CALL IIT QUITS, HUH?!

Vanessa: WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON OUR FRIEND, WHY THE HELL WOULD WE START NOW?! LUCKKKKKK COME BACK TO US!

Rufel: NOOO! GET OFF OF ME- GET YOUR FUCKING FILTHY HANDS OFF OF ME! THIS IS MY BODY NOW!

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

Vanessa: WOOOHOOOO!

Magna: ALL RIGHT!

Rufel: Ah?!

Tyrus: AHT AHT, GET YOUR BODY SNATCHING ASS BACK HERE!

Tyrus: Hurry Asta, I can hold him but if Luck is somewhere in there, he's gonna be a slippery fucker!

Asta: Right, let's end this here and now!

ZAPPPPPPPP!

Asta: AHHHHHHH!

Tyrus: GAHHHHHHHH! Just how much fucking power does this elf still got?!

Rufel: You humans are done for, why don't you just accept that?

Magna: YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHEN TO CALL IT QUITS, HUH?!

Vanessa: WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON OUR FRIEND, WHY THE HELL WOULD WE START NOW?! LUCKKKKKK COME BACK TO US!

Rufel: NOOO! GET OFF OF ME- GET YOUR FUCKING FILTHY HANDS OFF OF ME! THIS IS MY BODY NOW!

Deep in the recesses of his mind, the actual Luck Voltia was in his head, now in a child-like state physically, let's call it. He swears he could hear someone shouting but can't ultimately make out who it is.

Luck: That's right.... I could've sworn I heard someone calling out to me. But now their voice is gone.

Asta: WAKE UP LUCK!

Tyrus: COME ON, WE'RE NOT GIVIN' UP ON YOU MAN! KEEP FIGHTING!

Magna: If me getting stronger pisses you off, then good! GET THE FUCK UP AND SQUARE UP WITH ME, YOU LITTLE BATTLE-WHORE!

Vanessa: The Red Thread of Fate has you Luck, and it nor I will ever let go of you! Take back control of YOUR BODY, PLEASE FOR US!

Luck: What's going on? That sounded a lot like Magna, Asta, Vanessa and Tyrus.

Luck's Mom: Luck.

He turns around and immediately recognizes a statuesque woman with blonde hair that covers her eyes.

Luck: Mom?!

Luck's Mom: Come to my side Luck. You're not like everyone else, my son, you must stay by my side at all times.

Luck: That's right, the only person who could love me is my mother. I live and fight for her. Everything I do, I do for her and her alone!

He begins to walk towards the hallucination of his mother, soon breaking out into a full on sprint. Despite the initial resistance, just the mere image of his birthgiver makes him submit rather quickly.

Luck: All I ever wanted... was to make her smile!

Meanwhile Rufel was in the process of unleashing all of Luck's magic as if to trigger a bomb of sorts as he continued to send violent electric pulses through his vessels squadmates in Asta and Tyrus in addition to Vanessa and Magna.

Rufel: HAHAHAHAHAHA, I'M GOING TO UNLEASH ALL OF MY MAGIC! YOU FOUR, THIS DAMN HUMAN VESSEL AND ALL OF THE CLOVER KINGDOM, EVERYTHING WILL BE ANNIHILATED WITHOUT SO MUCH A SINGLE TRACE! EVEN I WON'T SURVIVE THIS!

Tyrus: FUCKKKKK! ASTA, YOU GOTTA STAB HIM NOW!

Vanessa: HURRY, WE CAN'T HOLD MUCH LONGER!

Magna: ANY MORE DELAYS AND WE'LL BE FRIED TO A CRISP!

Rufel: I WANT ALL OF YOU HUMANS TO DIE, DISAPPEAR, VANISH! EVEN IF IT COSTS ME MY LIFE, I SHALL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU ALL DIE!

Asta: What the hell is goin' with this ki?!

Vanessa: Is this actually mana?! I can sense something, almost treacherous and sadistic welling up within Luck!

Magna: DAMN YOU! THIS ISN'T OVER, NOT UNTIL LUCK HAS HIS BODY BACK!

Tyrus: NOT.... UNTIL..... WE HAVE LUCK BACK, FOOL!

Asta continues to struggle in landing a critical blow, thinking about the rising power in Luck and how it closely resembled Digit when he too was possessed.

Asta: It's just like that other guy we cured..... If we don't do something quick, Luck at this rate, he'll turn into something completely different than one of these elves. Something way beyond evil!

Rufel: RAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHH! YOU KILED THEM ALL! ALL OF THEM! EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO WAS PRECIOUS TO ME, YOU COMPLETELY SLAUGHTERED THEM OUT OF JEALOUSLY AND HATRED! THAT'S WHY... I MUST RETURN THE FAVOR!

Asta: I don't know what the heck you're droning on about, but-

Tyrus joins in as he slams Luck's arms back down with Magna and Vanessa to prevent resistance.

Tyrus: But if we humans are to truly blame for whatever horrific tragedy happened to you....

We're sorry!

Tyrus: And we really-

Asta: Really mean it! But see Luck, he's our precious friend and doesn't deserve any of this you're doing! And we could never stomach the thought of losing him!

Tyrus: So whatever you're thinking... DON'T TAKE LUCK FROM THE BLACK BULLS!

Vanessa: That's right!

Magna: LET HIM GO, ALREADY!

The lightning pulses grow with more violence and power as they reduced more buildings into rubble.

Asta: And I'm pretty sure all those people who were very important and near to you, your friends? I know they wouldn't want you to die either or to inflict that same level of pain on them! NOW, GET OUT OF HIM!

Asta delivers the decisive thrusts of the sword as Rufel screams in agony. Back in the abyss of his own body, Luck continues to run towards his mother.

Luck: MOM!

When a sudden white hole appears out of nowhere and he hears four voices.

Tyrus: LUCK!

Vanessa: Luck!

Magna: WAKE UP-

Asta: LUCK!

Luck: Those voices.... it's my friends. I'm sorry Mom, but I have to help them.

The hand of his deceased mother reaches out but stops short when she sees her seed smiling brightly.

Luck: I found people who like me.... for me! So goodbye for now, mom. I'll always love you! HAHA!

Her face is now revealed, tears streaming freely down her cheeks as we see how eerily similar mother and son look alike while he giggles running into the void, with her soon phasing out of existence.

Luck: And thank you for everything!

Yami: Starting today you'll be the newest member of the Black Bulls. Make yourself at home, kid! And go as fucking insane you'd like, brat!

Luck runs as he hears more memories and voices of his compatriots.

Finral: What's happenin' there, little man? Finral, nice to meet ya!

Vanessa: Awww, aren't you just the cutest little thing! My name's Vanessa, but you can think of me as your big sister.

Gordon: It's a pleasure to meet you, my new friend.

Charmy: Take a bite of this, Luck! It's super tasty, trust me!

Gauche: This is my precious baby sister, Marie. Yes I know, isn't she a goddess? No, an Angel! You, my new squadmate can worship as much as you'd like!

Tyrus: Let the good times roll, Luck! I can do this all day dude, get to it or no death match for you!

Asta: I don't care what anyone thinks about me, you think what you want! BUT I'M GOIN' TO THINK OF YOU AS OUR FRIEND!

Noelle: I can't really believe you're technically my senior... but your combat skills are second to none. Since I'm royalty, I guess I can overlook this Luck. Let's get out there.

Magna: THE FINAL WON'T BE YOU VERSUS TYRUS, NOELLE AND THAT YUNO GUY! IT'S GONNA BE ME AND LUCK, THROWIN' DOWN, LIGHTNING AND FIRE!

His lightning crackles, maturing back to his young adult self as he zooms back out into the real world.

Asta: Eh?

Tyrus: Come on!

Vanessa: Please Luck!

Magna: Just a little bit more, you Battle-Slut. COME ON, KEEP FIGHTING!

Rufel: I do....

Lumiere: Let's foster understanding. Your elvish mana really is an incredible thing to behold! If we can combine your mana with our magic-item ready technology, this land will not only be more safe, but it'll also be more prosperous! Let us all work together, human and elves, hand-in-hand!

Rufel: I also.... wanted to be friends with humans like you four. I really believed we could've co-existed in a much different world.

A giant red rune appears behind the Black Bulls and in the same breath, disappears with the freakish elven mana that had once put them at death's door.

Tyrus: Did- Did it work?

Magna: I don't know.

Vanessa: Luck... is that you?

Luck: I-

He can't form a complete sentence as tears angrily stream down his face.

Luck: Please you guys.... please tell me I'm still one of the Black Bulls, right? C-Can I s-still be one of you guys?

Asta: He's back!

Magna: Pft. You fuckin' moron.

Magna smirks as he walks over to his inconsoable squadmate and hugs him tightly as Luck finally breaks down.

Magna: What's this babblin', askin' if you can still be one of us? You were always one of us, Luck. Fuckin' clown!

Luck: AH..... WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Some time passes as a relative calm settles over the majorly destroyed town with a fully exorcised Luck running over to his squadmates.

Luck: Magna! Vanessa! Asta! Tyrus!

CRACCCCK!

Magna: WHYYYYY?!

Luck: THANKS A LOT YOU GUYS!

Vanessa: Aww he's just trying to hide his embarrassment, Magna. You virgin street-punk. Take it easy on him! He's just happy you more than anyone is okay!

Luck: HAHAHA!

Vanessa: You really do care about him, don't you Magna? SO ADORABLE, the way you two were hugging!

Tyrus: That was actually flashy and manly of you Magna. Nicely done.

Asta: TALK ABOUT THE MAN AMONGST MEN, MAGNA!

Magna: BULLSHIT, THE ONLY THING THAT'S GONNA BE FLASHY IS THE WAY I KICK LUCK'S ASS!

Vanessa: Aww, look at you so flustered!

Magna: I got my face caved-in, I AM NOT FLUSTERED, DAMN IT!

Luck: You should be more honest with yourself, don't lie Magna.

Magna: Can it, Battle-Munch!

Luck: Haha... but seriously you guys. Thank you! Oh man.... I really took it to the town. I didn't kill anyone, did I?

Tyrus: Happy to tell you, Magna and Vanessa were able to evacuate everyone before they fought the elf within you. Don't worry about it, Luck.

Vanessa: Yup. My Thread Magic came in handy just for a situation like this. Like Tyrus said, you have not a thing to worry about. Welcome back, Luck. Seriously.

Luck: Thank you so much, Vanessa!

Magna: Oi, where's my credit?!

Luck: Oh, nice work.

Magna: WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN, NICE WORK?! EXPLOSIVE- Damn, outta magic?!

Luck: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Magna and Vanessa: AND YOU TWO?!

Tyrus: WHOA, WHAT DID WE DO?!

Magna: WHAT'S WITH THE NEW SWORD?!

Vanessa: AND AS FOR YOU, THE HORNS ON YOUR HEAD, AND YOU HAVE LITERAL DRAGON CLAWS WHERE YOUR HANDS SHOULD BE, TYRUS!

Tyrus: It's my Spirit Dive, Azure Dragon. Remember? I used it in the Royal Knights Exam and when I fought Asta. It'll wear off soon, don't worry.

Asta: And this thing?

Vanessa: Yes, it turned Luck back to normal, didn't it?

Asta: Well the way Yuno put it.... it basically takes the magic effects of someone's power and sucks out the spell they're currently using, I guess. So it was as if the spell was never cast.

Magna: The hell does that mean?

Asta: I don't know, and it takes more than a single hit, I have to really hit my mark on the target to stop their power from running wild. But I know for a fact with a little more time, I can undo the reincarnation spell without a doubt in my mind!

Magna: THAT'S... actually pretty freaking awesome.

Asta: But the more I realize it, I'm starting the see that these elves.... they're not the bad guys. And the one that got a hold of Luck, does that mean... he, y'know died again?

The longest silence hangs between the five of them before Luck talks.

Luck: I- I mean he was smiling when it came down to it.

Tyrus: Yeah.

Luck: There was once a gentle person in who he really was. That was the elf's true self and I think it's good you freed him, Asta. This whole thing, the reincarnation spell? It's scary and sad. You can't fight it without help.

Asta: Got that right... Then in that case, for the sake of both human and elves alike. I'm going to use this sword to help bring everyone back to normal!

Luck: Let's do it!

Magna: Hold on, did you say everyone else?

Asta: It's true.

Tyrus: A good portion of the Royal Knights that weren't Asta, Noelle and I got reincarnated as elves and they're wreaking havoc all over the damn kingdom, from the Forsaken Realm to the elves traveling to the Royal Capital. Noelle, Mimosa, their brothers are there trying to catch up with them now to safeguard the Noble Realm.

Magna: No way, this is a damn crisis!

Vanessa: That's horrible, we need to help like yesterday! Now that you two mention it, that's why those lights were roaming all across the sky earlier tonight. Was that the reincarnation process? And finishing the point off, there were a lot going off around the royal capital as well.

Magna: Yeah, Vanessa and I saw their giant boulder lookin' hideout earlier tonight. Looked like it was headin' to the capital too. We have to go now! It's our job to protect the Clover Kingdom!

Tyrus: Agreed. Noelle and the others should be reaching the capital right about now.

Vanessa: Right, but before we do, we need to get back to the hideout and gather Grey, Gauche, and Gordon. See if Captain Yami made it back as well.

Asta: Yeah!

Tyrus: Alright one-

Luck: Don't worry, I can get us there in a snap!

Magna: Why I am getting the sense, I don't like what you're schemin' you little brat?

Luck: HAHAHAHAHAH!

Tyrus: YEAH, MY DRAGON WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER!

Asta: OH GOD, WE'RE GONNA DIE!

Vanessa: WHOOOOOAA!

Magna: I am gonna KILL YOU FIRST CHANCE I GET, LUCK!

Luck transformed his body back into his lightning body suit as with assistance from Vanessa's strings slung his four squadmates carelessly in the air as he jumps through the air and trees.

Luck: My body is still tense and remembers the feeling of that mana when the elf kid was in my body. I BET I CAN GET EVEN STRONGER!

Tyrus: REALLY, LUCK?! THAT'S YOUR MAIN TAKEAWAY?!

Magna: GO RIGHT AHEAD, CAUSE I'M JUST GONNA GET STRONGER THAN YOU!

Luck: Good idea, and if you really want to, I can train you next time, Magna!

Magna: STOP TALKIN', ASSHOLE!

Luck: We're almost there! Ah?

They all look up to find a shocking sight.

Tyrus: NO, THE BASE!

Luck: What happened?

Vanessa: It's like a tornado and a half ripped right through our home, my wine stash!

Magna: Everything's been turned upside down and then some.

Asta: GREY! GAUCHE! GORDON! ARE YOU GUYS HERE?! Please don't tell me the elves got to our place.

ROOAARRR!

Suddenly three beasts emerge from the wreckage, scaring the five.

Tyrus: Wait, aren't those the Captain's magical beasts?

Vanessa: Yes, but out of their cages.

Asta: I'm glad you guys are okay, but where are the others at?

Beasts: Grrrr....

Asta: Over there? HEYYYY, GUYS!

Tyrus: Grey! GAUCHE, GORDON!

They all find Gordon mumbling, which is par for the course with him and Grey shuddering obscuring her face almost on cue the minute they show up.

Asta: They're okay... but they're too busy being in shock!

Henry: I've.... been meaning.... to tell you all!

Magna: Huh? Who the hell is that guy?!

Asta: Listen I'm glad you guys are okay but I'm gonna need you two to speak up, now!

Grey: O-Oh! Asta and Tyrus are back! And Luck and Vanessa and Magna too!

Gordon: It's so good to have you all back my friends. Welcome back!

Tyrus: It's good to be back.

Luck: Hahahaha! Wow, what the heck happened here!?

Henry: Well.....

Magna: And you! Who in the fresh hell are you?

Asta and Tyrus immediately recognize the man Magna is too busy interrogating.

Henry: Welcome..... back.... Magna!

Magna: How exactly do you know my name? Unless you're a stalker, that's need to know information- OHHHHHH!

Magna immediately falls down as his mana begins to get drained by Henry's chronic illness

Henry: I tried to warn you.... if you-

Magna: The hell is this guy's deal?! I can feel my mana slowly being sucked out of me like a tick does to a dog! Is he an enemy force?!

Henry: Get too close to me... your mana will be drained!

Tyrus: Henry! It's good to see you, and I'd come over there but I don't want my mana drained. You understand, big guy.

Asta: Wait Magna! He's not an enemy, in fact he actually owns the place, he's been here longer than any of us!

Henry: Asta! Tyrus!.....

Tyrus: Yeah, from what he told us, he's got this weird ass disease that forces him to drain the magic power of anyone foolish enough to get within his radius. Owner of the Black Bulls hideout, Henry Legolant!

Magna: Huh?

Vanessa: Henry?!

Luck: Hahahahaha, nice to meet ya! Wanna fight me to the death?!

Asta: Yeah this guy is super cool, he'd come visit me all the time and I'd do the same with him. Since I don't have any magic, it was pretty nice having a cool guy to hang out with every now and then!

Tyrus: I would too until he told me of his disease and unintentional power stealing. He's still a really good guy once you sit down and get to know him.

Asta: To be honest, I really thought he was a ghost to begin with when we first crossed paths.

Henry begins to speak with that ever iconic slow drawl.

Henry: Asta.... is such... a good.... boy! So is... Tyrus! They're... both of my... friends. I.... missed them so much!

Tyrus: So wait you're tellin' us you guys really didn't know about Henry until now?

Asta: I probably should've said something from the minute we met him.

The trio were still completely flabbergasted by this new intruder who happened to own the very hideout they called home.

Magna: This is completely freaky.... I can't believe someone was hiding in the base this entire time!

Vanessa: Kinda makes you want to find out if anyone else strange is lurking around the hideout right now.

Luck: Hahahahahaha! Exactly.

Magna: That still doesn't explain what the fuck happened here you guys! I mean seriously, the base was intact when all of us left, how did it get to such a shitty state?!

Grey and Gordon look at each other precariously before going back to Asta, Manga, Luck, Tyrus and Vanessa. Right before they got to mumbling and acting embarrassed before Asta realize someone's missing.

Asta: No way.... it got Gauche too?!

Tyrus: I've been wondering what was up with the lack of nosebleeds and obssessing over Marie. That must mean he got reincarnated into an elf too. Which would be extremely difficult given how his magic works.

Gordon begins mumbling even more frequently which Asta seemingly deciphers like Morse Code.

Asta: I HEAR YA GORDON, BUT THAT'S NOT GAUCHE! YOU GOTTA REMEMBER HE'S BEING POSSESSED BY AN ELF AND IS DOING ALL OF THIS BECAUSE OF THAT, NOT BECAUSE HE HATES YOU!

Grey: I- UM, I- UM!

Tyrus: MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY GREY! THE FACT HE DIDN'T OFF YOUR ASSES MEANS HE'S FIGHTING TO TAKE CONTROL OF HIS BODY BACK! SO WE HAVE TO HELP HIM JUST LIKE WE HELPED LUCK OUT!

Henry: And.... after.... that.

Asta and Tyrus: He made his way to the Royal Capital, right?!

Magna: How the hell are you two even understanding, let alone communicating with him?!

Vanessa: Nevermind that, if Gauche is an elf, we've got him to bring him back too! But I'm all out of magic.

Magna: So am I.

Luck: You two should rest, I'm sorry for putting you guys through the wringer. Asta, Tyrus and I can handle Gauche!

Tyrus: It's all good, buddy. Don't worry, lucky for us. I've still got a good chunk of my mana recovered thanks to that magic item Nozel gave me earlier.

Asta: JUST HANG IN A LITTLE LONGER GAUCHE, WE'RE ON OUR WAY!

RUMMBBBBBLLLLLLLEEEEEEE!

Tyrus: Tremors?

Magna: Yeah and whatever that sound is, it's making the ground shake like all sorts of hell.

Vanessa: Not only that but the overwhelming mass amount of magic I'm feeling... NO WAY!

Tyrus: It's like an apex predator on the hunt! Oh hell no.

Emerging from the forest... are a mob of Sheep Cooks and leading them... is Charmy with an elf marking.

Asta: NO WAY, THEY GOT TO CHARMY AS WELL!

Charmy: Never forgive! Never Forgive! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE!

Vanessa: Charmy!

Magna: Impossible!

Charmy: WHERE ARE THE BASTARDS WHO DID THIS?! WHERE ARE THEY SO I CAN RIP THEIR THROATS OUT AND MAKE A STEW OUT OF IT!

Tyrus: The mana. The mana she's giving off- It's almost elf-like!

Asta: I've seen her mad, but this is new even for Miss Charmy!

Tyrus: I second that, Asta!

Her eyes glow in anger as she stares down her squadmates.

Charmy: WHO THE HELL DESTROYED MY PRECIOUS VEGETABLE GARDEN I HAD BEHIND THE HIDEOUT?! FESS UP AND I WON'T HAVE THE URGE TO DISSECT YOU FOR A CHILI BOWL!

Asta: False alarm, she's not an elf!

Tyrus: So why the marking?

He walks up the dwarf and looks at the facial tattoo on Charmy's face as she continues to rant and rave... he pokes her face which makes her go off the handle even more but some of the marking rubs off.

Charmy: WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA, TYRUS?!

Tyrus: Oh wait.... it's tomato sauce that looks like an elf marking. She's just supremely pissed off someone killed her food.

Well that's good!

Charmy: NO IT'S NOT GOOD! You guys don't seem to realize how much effort and how long it took to grow that garden from mere seedlings! I FERTILIZED IT, WATERED IT, GAVE THE PLANTS SO MUCH SUNLIGHT AND LOVE! AND FOR SOMEONE TO CALLOUSLY MURDER THEM ALL! I WENT OUT INTO THE FOREST TO SEARCH FOR MORE YUMMY TREATS TO GATHER FOR YOU GUYS ESPECIALLY ASTA, LUCK, NOELLE AND TYRUS TO CELEBRATE THEM GETTING INTO THE ROYAL KNIGHTS BUT WHEN I SAW THE FREAKY SWORD SHOW AND MASSIVE CLOCK, I CAME BACK AS QUICKLY AS I COULD BUT BY THE TIME I DID I WAS STARVING BUT I DIDN'T LET THAT STOP ME! I AM APPALLED!

Vanessa: Take a deep breath, Charmy. Grey and Gordon were here when everything happened!

Asta: HANG ON, THAT RUMBLING WAS JUST YOUR STOMACH FROM NOT EATING?!

Charmy: WELL I'M SORRY SAUCE IS NOT ENOUGH TO CALM MY ANGER AND HUNGER, ASTA!

Asta: SO IT WAS SAUCE?!

Tyrus: Duh, I quite literally said that!

Charmy: SO ARE YOU FOUR RESPONSIBLE FOR WRECKING MY VEGETABLES BEYOND COMPREHENSION?!

Tyrus: Nope, Asta and I were with Luck and Noelle handling Royal Knights business! We couldn't have done it.

Vanessa: And I went to visit Finral in the hospital, remember?

Magna: Went training, Oh Great Glutton. We would never of course not, Charmster.

Tyrus: We know you don't play about your ingredients. That's a thing we would never toy about.

Charmy: Alright.... THEN WHO DID IT!?

Asta: It might have been the Eye of the Midnight Sun and some elves.

Charmy: Eye of the Midnight Sun, aye? And elves you say? THEN COME WITH ME, WE'RE GOIN' TO KICK ALL OF THEIR ASSES, SOMETHING FIERCE THEY WON'T SOON FORGET!

Vanessa: Um, believe me, I would love to partake Charmy! But I'm completely drained out of my magic.

Magna: She's not lyin' either, I'm drained too!

She shoots them both a dangerous look as they sink beneath her immense and deadly aura.

Charmy: You are, are you? Well, you're not fighting without an empty stomach! You're of no use to me in avenging my garden if you're out of magic.

Vanessa: We're sorry!

Charmy: THIS IS WON'T DO AT ALL! COTTON CREATION MAGIC, SHEEP COOK: HEAD CHEF! ALL OF YOU, ON THE DOUBLE! I NEED FOOD FOR MY FRIENDS NOW!

Vanessa: But why though?!

Tyrus: Don't get me wrong, I'm cool if it means they get their mana back but we're on the clock here, Charmy!

Magna: We should REALLY be trying to get to the Capital!

The Sheep Cooks gather Grey and Gordon, shuffling them towards bowls of food, fried rice to be exact.

Grey: I- seriously don't know if this is a good idea!

Gordon: This looks so good and yet so distracting!

Charmy: EAT.

Vanessa: Seriously, I don't think I ever seen you this fired up Charmy. It's starting to scare me, girl!

Charmy: You wanna join the Midnight Sun and Elves on my kill list? EATTTTTT!

Tyrus: Ma'am, yes, Ma'am!

Magna: I mean I guess I'm a tad hungry. What's one bite gonna do?

Asta: Thanks for the food, I guess.

Charmy: Well?

Asta: IT'S GOOD! IT'S SO TASTY!

Tyrus: Is that paprika or cayenne pepper I taste in there?

Gordon: Nothing beats a good meal with your closest friends!

Grey: mMmmmrph.... It's so delectable! I really can't stand it!

Luck: Ahahahahahaha!

Magna continues to eat as he suddenly notices-

Magna: WHOA WHOA, WHAT IS THIS?!

Tyrus: My mana.... it's fully restored. Way more than what I initially had in fact!

Vanessa: Mine's too!

Asta: Whoa! Tyrus, you're glowing blue, Vanessa you're pink and Magna's gone red! Everyone, y'all ki's shot up tremendously!

Charmy: That's right. Head Chef's cooking increases your magic, depending on the sole factor of how much one has consumed!

It's that super intense mana of hers again!

Magna: Fuck, who would've thought our resident glutton would've saved the day like this!

Tyrus: Indeed, too bad Noelle, Mimosa, Yuno and the others couldn't get in on this!

Luck: NOW WE CAN FINALLY SET OFF FOR THE ROYAL CAPITAL!

Charmy: EVERYONE KEEP EATING! I WANT ALL. OF. YOU. TO BE. AT. YOUR VERY BEST! BUT THAT'S NOT ALL, I WANT YOU ALL TO SAVOR THE FLAVOR!

Asta: MAYBE THIS GIVES ME MAGIC TOO, YEAH?!

Tyrus: Not a chance, Asta.

Charmy: Zero is still zero! BUT EAT UP ANYWAY ASTA!

Asta: GAHA! My heart just broke but I can't stop eating anyway! Hey you should get in on this Henry. It's so good!

Henry: But I'll end.... up... sucking away.... everyone's magic powerrrrr.

Asta: Who cares we'll just keep scarfin' it down, buddy!

Magna: Easy for you to say, Asta! I'm clinging on by a thread here, all of us are!

Henry: It.... is so... good!

He takes in the sight of all of his squadmates as he begins to smile.

Tyrus: You guys won't believe it but Klaus and Captain Rill from the Aqua Deer, they turned into elves too!

Asta: Yeah, Yuno, Ty and I also fought their super strong boss, the real Licht!

Vanessa: The Four Eyes from the Golden Dawn? Oh no, Captain Yami said he had to meet with Captain Vangeance since he was going issue an apology for what happened to Finral!

Magna: C'mon this is Captain Yami we're talking about, if he caught wind of us doubtin' him, he'd pop our heads like balloons!

Gordon: I'm so blessed to have some of the greatest Magic Knights as friends to eat alongside with and charge into battle with!

Vanessa: Finral's still in the hospital. Have you guys seen Noelle?!

Tyrus: Happy to report she's with her cousins Mimosa, Kirsch and her brother Captain Nozel. They plan on intercepting the elves before they reach the capital and aim to secure Clover Castle. Which is why we need to meet them there as soon as possible!

Vanessa: Agreed, Tyrus!

Asta: Some guy named Zora who's also apart of the Black Bulls apparently is with them!

Magna: SERIOUSLY! MAN, JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE IS THE CAPTAIN RECRUITING! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT SMARTASS IS ONE OF US?!

Charmy: Come on, Grey! Eat up, girly!

Grey: S-Sorry!

Luck: Hahahaha! This is so much fun, you guys!

Henry: Right... these are the Black Bulls I know. That I truly remember!

Charmy: YOU'RE NOT DONE EATING, UNTIL I SAY WE'RE DONE EATING!

The base which was once in ruins begins to transform behind as he continues to reminisce.

Henry: And being among their ranks... makes this even more special!

Asta: WHOAHAHAHA!

Tyrus: The base!

Magna: The hell is it doing?!

Luck: Who cares? It looks so cool!

Gordon: The power of our new best friend on display!

Grey: Still super scary!

Henry: Recombination Magic, The Raging Black Bull: Charging Style!

When all is said and done, the base reconfigures into the Raging Black Bull, but this time it turns into a massive vehicle of trasnport, leaving everyone astounded!

Asta: WHOA, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE!

Magna: Talk about badass!

Tyrus: Indeed!

Henry: Climb aboard.... everybody! To the.... Royal Capital!

The Sheep Cooks continue cooking as the Raging Black Bull begins to take sprouts legs....

Asta: Alright everyone let's do this!

Tyrus: Everyone in the Clover Kingdom is dependin' on us! Let's go reunite with Noelle, Zora and the others! Because-

Asta: That's what the Black Bulls do! Come Hell or high water!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The Bull then springs to life as they make a break for the Royal Capital, recharged and replenished once again ready for war with the elves, their minds now focused on liberating Gauche, reuniting with their friends and saving the citizens of their proud kingdom!

Asta: OFF TO THE ROYAL CAPITAL!

Tyrus: FULL SPEED AHEAD!

BLACK BULLS, GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
