Keine: W-Wow, a draw... and I'm sorry, Fael, but it's Shinto, just like they said at the same time. But, how am I going to decide who said first.

Lilly: No, it wasn't at the same time! I swear, Keine, that Marie spoke first!

Necrox: What?! Why you... Hell no, Keine! Hugh spoke first!

Lilly: Listen... If you don't shut up, I'm going to fill you with many slaps!! Marie said it and she is the right one!!

Necrox: No one will make me sound like a liar... if I said that Hugh said first, then he said! Or... *clutches his hands*... you wanna a fight?

Lilly: Mrgrrgrrrr!! I'm really out of my patience!!

The two got out of their chairs. As Marie and Hugh stared at each other like prey, the did like two assassins, ready to blow the other.


Magio: H-Hey, are they so competitive like this?

As he asked, a girl looked at the window and noticed something.
Girl in Class: ...OMG! What's going on there?

Beloved Tomboyish Girl

Students screaming could be heard. Actually, that would be natural when you're attacked like that.


Ice Fairy of the Lake
Cirno
The strongest of all fairies. She has great control over ice. However, her intelligence is so minimal that it would require years for her to be the real thing...

Cirno: Nyaahahaha! Scream, ya fools! Because eye'm the strongest!!

She continued to shoot ice at all students. The class stopped as everything happened. Magio directly looked at Keine, who nodded back. Then, he ran away to the field.

Cirno: Woooo! So easy~! Is there no one to come at eye?

Magio: Fine. I'll take you on!

The class started to comment that Magio was crazy, jumping for suicide. But Lilly, Necrox and Keine knew that this was an easy task. Cirno smiled and shot her icicles at Magio, who ran fast, but not away. Although he tried to demonstrate that he could do it without aid of his power, how he would defeat her? By simply running as she shot icicles? That was ridiculous. It wouldn't work.

She got out a Spell Card, and used without forgiveness.

Cirno: Freeze Sign "Perfect Freeze"!

Magio: (Already, huh? Well, I guess your turn is over.)

Colored danmaku were shot fast, and then it stopped. Cirno launched big balls of ice at Magio and the frozen danmaku hitted him. The entire class wasn't believing on how a fool Magio was...

Cirno: I told ya, you fool! Eye'm the strongest!... Wait. Ah, you're...!!

BGM: Magus Night

The fog cleared. He was still there. Cirno finally realized who he was. A true magician which she couldn't defy, not even once. That magician was Magio, which knows fully well how to fight. He knew that doing that with Cirno was overpowering, but he wouldn't forgive her for attacking innocents like if it was nothing,


Magio: Good hit. But, now... it's my turn!

He started to fly, just like her. There was no need of wings. He pointed his hand at her. At response, she faked that she mistook him for any student. However, which other student would simply fly like that. Unless it was a hidden fighter, or had powers, no one could mistake him.

Cirno: A-A-Ah, it was a mistake...!! A mistake!!

Magio: You're the strongest, aren't you? Then you should know how to evade, right?

Behind, in front, around... a sea of colorful stars appeared. Upon the snap of his fingers, they were shot at the fairy. Cirno lost the courage to fight, she somehow knew that she wouldn't win. However, she wouldn't lose her cool amidst the battle. She wouldn't. Her attacks continued at fiercest that it was... but that level of ferocity in danmaku wasn't enough. Not for him. His stars were overwhelming compared to the glass she shot. However, Cirno wouldn't give up. Never in her life as a fairy.

Cirno: Eye won't give up! Eye'm the STRONGEST! Take this! Snow Sign "Diamond Blizzard"!!

Upon her other Spell Card, icicles came out of random. Magio cruised over them, shooting more stars. She defended, but it wasn't enough. Soon, Magio held his own Spell Card.

Cirno: Oh no... C-Checkmate...?!

Magio: ... Goodbye, and sorry for this. Star Sign "5 Pure Stars in the Blank Space"!

Cirno was enveloped by white and shiny danmaku. She couldn't move much. Behind Magio, five stars appeared. Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and White. At once, they hitted Cirno, causing a big explosion and sending her flying away.

Cirno: MAGIO!!! EYE WILL BE BACK!!! AND THEN, EYE'LL DEFEAT YOU~!!!

*BGM ends*

Magio descended and finally reached the ground. He looked at the class, which looked really surprised, except some faces in that crowd.

Music - Shooting Star

Classroom C


Thomas: (And then, we discovered the truth about the frozen people incidents that have been happeing as of late, it was a little girl who thought she was the strongest.)

Fael: W-wow! Magio you...

Hugh: He is...just like us....

Marie: So, me feeling their magic power...wasn't just impression?

Thomas: I guess that explains the reserved seats, for us seven...

Fael: What do you mean?

Thomas: Something is about to happen....something big.

Hugh: Is it your hunter hunch?

Thomas: More or less, i'm surprised i even deduced that, after all, fighting is the only thing i do right.
???: (And you're right, you four meeting the triplets is just the beginning.)

Far away from there


Marisa: For a moment...wasn't that? Well, might as well check out ze!

Shiro: There she goes again meow!

Kuro: Why are we following her again? We are already inside the city.

Masaki: I'm kinda worried with the explosion, so we better follow her.

Kuro: If you don't get lost on the way.

Masaki: Seriously Kuro will you

Shiro: Masaki! Look out!

Hayate: Whoa!

Masaki stops in time, he nearly bumped on Hayate, who was on her way to the hospital.


Masaki: Ah sorry, i nearly ran into you.

Hayate: I-it's okay!

Masaki: Come back here, Ordinary Magician!

Hayate: I wonder what's the hurry...oh well!

Classroom C

Magio walked back into the class, and the classmates were looking at him. He really thought it was eyes of fear.


Magio: Well... that was it...

BGM: Swing a Fish to Drive Away Flies

The other classmates ran all at him and asked many questions. Magio had a hard time to think in answers, even to breathe was hard.


Keine: Everyone! Give him space, and stop asking many questions!

Magio: (That saved my life. I owe her one.)

Keine: Well... I think that after this, I have to dismiss the class for today. Talking on history after this even surely doesn't add up...

The class ran, all waving goodbye. Magio scratched his head, but Necrox helped raising his mood... or at least, he tried.


Necrox: Good show you did there. Now you're the school's biggest hero.

Magio: That's not funny. I'm a freak with this, you know.

Lilly: But you saved the students. Necrox isn't half-wrong there.

Necrox: Yeah, I- Hey, what did you meant to say with that?

Lilly: Anyway, let's not show much of our powers here to everyone. Now that everyone saw your power...

Keine: Ahem. I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but I guess you should talk between youselves. After all, you 7 are the only students in school that have some kind of special power or something.

Magio walked near Fael and the others, surprised that they had powers too.


Magio: Oh, so you guys have powers? I guess that wasn't so surprising at all, right?

Music - Flos


Fael: I thought only me, Marie, Hugh and Thomas where the only ones but...

Hugh: We are actually still surprised...a little.

Marie: We could have fought that girl as well, but you where more fast.

Thomas: Like i said, something big is going to happen, also, you there, its obvious you wanted to be noticed.
???: Oh, you noticed me? Well, guess i underestimated you hunters then, being able to located stalker that easy.

Thomas: Yeah r...wait, you've been stalking me?

Hugh: (Of course...)

Marie: T-that voice!


Yukari Yakumo: It has been a while, Toadstool Triplets and, Fael, Hugh, Mei, i believe you are trainning hard.

Marie: Yes, Miss Yukari, i'm reaching the final stages of my Ancient Magic Trainning.

Hugh: I'm keeping my skills on check, the only guy here that gives his all is Fael.

Thomas: (What about me? Shura trainning is Harsh you know!)

Fael: Y-yes, well, i can't still create a special move, but my skills with my sword are getting better and better.

Yukari: Just don't forget to take it easy.

Fael: Right....

Hugh: You just love to get him flustered isn't it? Don't want to see you crippled at such young age.

Marie: (Can't really blame her, Fael's cute when he's like that.)
Yukari: I have no idea what you're talking about.

Marie: By the way Miss Yukari, do you know Magio, Lilly and Necrox?

Yukari: Se-cre-t! See you after school!
The Youkai open a gap to the Grasslands and enter it.

Grasslands

Yukari: Miss Rachel, i'm he- Wait, where is she?

School's entrance

Marisa: Aww, the action was over already, but i'm pretty sure that explosion right now has something to do with...

Masaki: Finally you stopped.

Marisa: Wow, i got a stalker ze!

Masaki: Yeah...I mean HELL NO! I wondered what that explosion was so i came here to check it out.

Marisa: You wouldn't stand a chance, or rather, you wouldn't made a diference ze!

Masaki: What did you say?

Marisa: If there was still a battle in here, you could get caught in the middle of it ze.

Masaki: And? Still doesn't change the fact that i'm concerned with that explosion.

Marisa: Hmmm...You look very determined.

Masaki: Of course!

Marisa: Then let's fight ze!

Masaki: Eh?

Marisa: If you're so confident, must means that you are either strong or just a random green haired guy.

Masaki: Okay then, bring it.

Shiro: I'm pretty sure green hairs aren't random.

Kuro: I don't think she meant it that way.

Moments later.

Music - Fiddle the Chocobo

Masaki was running from a rain of danmaku that Marisa was shooting at him.


Marisa: Wow, you got some dodge in there ze!

Masaki: Damn! If i was on the Cybuster!

Kuro: You should mind your words next time meow.

Masaki: We don't have time for lec-YEOW!

???: *Sigh* That boy is hopeless, well, i'll leave you here, do what you want from now on, i have someone waiting for me.
???2: Riiight!

The Misterious rose scented figure warps away, leaving a red headed girl.

???2: Heeeeeeeey! Over here!

Masaki: There's a voice coming from the bushes, alright, i'll hide in there and think on a strategy.

Marisa launched another wave of danmaku, Masaki uses this oportunity to graze them, making sure Marisa is not seeing him, then Masaki jumps to the bushes, what he didn't know was that the person that was calling him was in the bushes far away from him, of course, Kuro and Shiro were on the right one.

???2: H-hey, you got it wrong dummy! Don't you have Sense of direction?
???: *briefelly returns* You're the one to talk. *leaves again*

Masaki: Tch...Now i can't leave anymore.

Marisa: There seems to be something over there ze! I'll check it out!

Masaki: (Crap, that person is in danger.)

When Marisa got close to the bushes, she got swatted away by something unknown, then, the misterious figure revealed herself.

Music - Calamity Trigger


Celica Ayatsuki Mercury
A "Chronophantasma" created by Kokonoe using a copy of the soul of the Celica in the past, her hole was the activation of Kushinada's Lynchpin.



Marisa: Ow, that hurts.

Celica: Sorry, i'll heal you later~! For now, i have to save that greenie.

Masaki: NO NICKNAMES! IT'S MASAKI!

Kuro: Today is not his day.

Shiro: Yep. And not ours either

Celica: Don't say that Mr. Cat, i'm here now.

Marisa: Fine by me, i'll take you on!

The Wheel of Fate is Turning! REBEL 1! ACTION!

Classroom C


Necrox: Oh, it was Yukari. Fancy meeting her here.

Lilly: Yet, I do believe that it was something that would happen.

Keine: Lilly, you are more than right. We are trying to handle a single problem, if I would comment.

Magio, before they would ask, decided to ask something that pulled out his curiosity.


Magio: Yukari... she escaped, haven't she?

Necrox: ... Now that you mention it...she wasn't supposed to appear like if it was nothing. After all, someone else must be after you.

Keine: Oh, her... how could such a devil exist?

???: ...Who mentions me...?

The space made a crack and then it started to break. Wearing a white dress, her eyes almost without life...


Human Living at the Edge of Everything
Peach Toadstool Yakumo
The older sister of Magio, Necrox and Lilly. A human that traded her emotions for the immense power over border and limits she possess. For the sake of her precious Magio, she will even kill... and it doesn't matter who it is.


Peach: ... Good morning...

Necrox: Get out. No one called you here.

Out of nowhere, chains appeared and tried to pierce Necrox, but he transformed into bats and then reappeared in the air. The chains, filled with blood, meat and bones are full of sins of fallen warriors.


Peach: ... Magio... let's go home... give me your hand...

Magio: Didn't you heard Necrox? What he said is the same thing as the no I give to you.


Peach: ... I see... such a pain...

More chains came. Lilly rose a stone from the ground to stop them.


Lilly: Go away! Leave us alone, you monster!

Peach: ... I will return... don't worry...

Magio: Talk to the real girl to return. Until then, I don't want to see you never more!

Peach broke space and disappeared. The chains faded away, and the smell of blood was finally gone.

Magio: Sister...

Music - Premoniton


Fael: Urgh....What...was that aura....?

Thomas: Kurgh...Was it....Hate? No....something more....

Hugh: Whoa, what's wrong with you two?

Marie: Well, it seems Fael and Thomas are way more sensible in feeling other peoples emotions and energy than us.

Hugh: I don't think i get it, but that girl seemed off.
Marie:....

Fael: Whew....I'm better now guys, i'm just not used in feeling to this kind of stuff yet...

Thomas: *helping Fael to stand* I overheard Magio call that girl sister...was it?

Hugh: Yup he did, not wanting to sound rude, but we need some explanations.

Marie: (Also, what they meant by Miss Yukari about having escaped? Does it have relation on Miss Rachel taking over the trainning during Yukari's absence?)

Music - ロード・ディアーチェ


Celica: *dodges a danmaku* Whoa, where she did shot that from, she's too fast.

Marisa: Well, at least you dodge better than Masa~!

Masaki: *Pretends he didn't listen*

Celica: Thanks for the compliment, so, shooting away is all you can do?

Marisa: I know that's a taunt, but you should first mind you're surroundings ze!

Celica: Eh?

Celica had dodged many bullets, but they didn't just disappeared of hit something, they stood still on the air, Marisa was travelling at high speeds in mid air just so that Celica avert her attention to Marisa while setting up a trap, now the Chronophantasma was surrounded, and an attack from above would hit her.

Shiro: Why we averted our eyes again meow?

Kuro: Now that girl is finished!

Masaki: Damn!

Marisa: Now, i won't use Stardust Reverie, i knew something strange hit me away, and it wasn't you, so i'll draw it right now. *stands above Celica.*

Celica: So you noticed?

Marisa: Of course ze~! It was good while it lasted, so don't complain when you lose. Star Sign "Gravity Beat"

Spinning her broom, Marisa shots a star upwards, then, said star decends on Celica, and all the Danmaku scattered converge to her position, all it was heard is a great explosion.


Masaki: Damn you! That was overkill!

Marisa: Relax, she'll survive that!

Kuro: How can you be so sure?
Marisa: She'll just get knocked out for some time, so i won ze.

Masaki: Even still, you shouldn't have attacked us randomly like that.

Marisa: Why not?
Masaki: Because....

Before Masaki would explain Marisa that is wrong to attack people at random just because she thinks they are strong, Marisa get's hit again by something.


Marisa: Ow....Again...but this time i saw what it is.

Music - Marionetter Purple II


Ex Machina - Minerva
A copy of Celica's previous Nox Nyctores - Deus Machina Nirvana, while it has a will of it's own, it can aid it's wielder in battle.



Celica: Well, that was dangerous.

Masaki: How? How are you still on foot?

Celica: Well, i had to stay under the explosion Minerva made, but i still got hit by some bullets, but i can heal that minor damage.

Marisa: It can explode?

Celica: Minerva can do more than that!

Minerva teleports to behind Marisa and started to throw punches of her, being used to fighting puppeters, Marisa antecipated it and dodged sideways, but got hit by a fireball.


Marisa: Ow! I keep getting hit ze!

Celica: Well, while healing magic is the best one i know, so i kinda know some magic as well, it's in the family.
Marisa: I thought you would get more closer, and that fireball was more faster than i thought ze!

Celica: You shouldn't underestimate me ze!

Marisa: Oh Really? Now you got me pumped.

She quickly flies to the sky, far above Minerva's reach.

Marisa: Prepare, for something your explosion won't save. Love Sign - Mas...

Celica: (Minerva, you know what to do.)
Marisa: (Why i have a feeling i'm forgetting something?) ...ter Spa...

Before Marisa could use her signature attack, she was grabbed by Minerva who has teleported to her location, this is what Marisa was forgetting


Celica: 10,9,8,7,6....

Marisa and Minerva fall on the ground


Marisa: Why there's a countdown on her head ze? I hope this is her spell card running out of time ze!
Celica: 5,4,3,2...
Marisa: Oh Cra-

Celica: 1!
Minerva detonates a powerful bomb, finishihg the battle
ASTRAL FINISH

BGM: Silence of the Forest

Keine returned to her table. She sat on the table and closed her eyes, as she started to think. For Peach to be here, it was the meaning of catastrophe.


Keine: ... That is Peach Toadstool Yakumo, the older sister of the Toadstool Triplets and the current head of the Toadstool Royal Family. She wasn't like this in the past, being a lively girl, like any woman at her young age. After making a Link with Yukari, she became this devil that stood right in front of you.

Necrox: The reason why we said that Yukari escaped is because she is one of Peach's aimed persons. Since Yukari is responsible for controlling borders, she tends to stop her easy lifestyle of hibernating.

Lilly: And the power she uses is greatly agressive than Yukari's. Yukari controls existent borders, she desires to break the impossible ones. All the power she uses comes from fallen warriors, either killed by her or not. That's why you felt a little weak.

BGM: The Day the Wind Blew

Magio looked at the sun. Everything seemed bright, like a normal day in Spring. But, now with his sister out and in the hunt, these normal days would become strange again. The smell of battle that always stood in some moments would come back to haunt him.


Magio: ... Necrox, Lilly... I guess we have to go away... again...

Necrox: What the... what's wrong with you?! How can you say that now?

Lilly: ... Is it... because of Fael an the others...?

Magio simply nodded and continued to look at the sun. It was already setting. Soon, the moon would take place and the night would come. Keine looked at Magio.


Keine: ... That may be the answer... it must be...

Magio: Answer... for what?

Keine: The question is "What is hidden under your everyday smile?"... and now I found. You're worried with all of us, aren't you? You believe that Peach would come here and kill all of us... am I right?

Magio: I don't simply believe. That will happen. That's why... I think we should go away... for the sake of everyone...

Necrox: No one will give up. I doubt that we're so weak that we can't even win against her.

Lilly: She's not invincible. We'll find a way to defeat her, and today marks it. No more running away.

Necrox: Know that we won't let she do anything to anyone. Together, we three can do it.

Magio looked at them. Not only his brothers, but to Fael, Marie, Hugh and Thomas. He didn't wanted, but she would surely come after them too.


Magio: ... I guess... you mean us all, right?

Lilly: Us? Do you mean...?

Magio walked near Fael and the others. He beared a sad face, knowing that now it was inevitable. Her action made them enter this mess someway or other.


Magio: ... I'm sorry for asking this... but, would you guys... help us?

Music - With Pride


Fael: ....Don't say you're sorry...

Fael: Of course we'll help!

Hugh: You should know the answer already. Also, the only eciting part of my life is my friends anyway, having to fight is not that bad. Count me in!

Marie: That's the reason why we got our powers, to fight! Just standing and watching the place we live getting destroyed is not what i want.

Fael: That's why I'll let you know that you can count on us for anything.

Thomas: We shall fight together as one, i promise as a Hunter, and friend!
They all smiled at the triplest, having made their choice ever since they started with the trainning.

Marie: Also, these three are hopeless without me! That's another reason i'm sticking with the group.


Hugh: Hey, what's that supposed to mean? Just because you are a genius, you shouldn't finding yourself all high and mighty.

Thomas: (I would say she did that on purpose, but Hugh already got angry.)

School's Entrance


Masaki: Whoa, all that fighting and we didn't attract any attention?

Celica: Well, Miss Rachel has set up a barrier, so we have fighting all the time in an alternate dimension, it should be wearing off by now.

Shiro: I guess that explains meow.

Kuro: By the way, why are you healing her meow?

Marisa: That's my line ze!

Celica: Why? Because you are injured.

Marisa: What if i attacked you again ze?

Masaki: That's what i asked to her.

Celica: I really don't mind, i just don't like to see people injured.

Marisa: You... (Now that i think of it, since she doesn't use danmaku, she isn't bound by their rules, she could have killed me, but she didn't...) I know, you must be one of those goody two-shoes type.

Celica: Nah, i'm just Celica A. Mercury.

Masaki: Masaki Andoh!

Marisa: Marisa Kirisame!

Celica: Nice to meet you two! *giggle*

Necrox: I told you, didn't I? You should listen to me more oftenly.

Lilly: ... Putting that commentary aside, where are we having lunch?

Keine: There's no lunch today. You all are free for the day!

Necrox: WHOOOOO~!! Now that's some talking!

LIlly: Wow, I didn't expected the first day to be fast.

Magio: OK then. I guess we should go and see Kourin now.

Keine stood like if she didn't understood. Who was this Kourin he mentioned?


Keine: Excuse me if I'm being dumb, but who is this Kourin you spoke of?

Satori: Magio, you shouldn't speak like that of the Principal...

Magio: Ooops, sorry... it was something usual.

Satori: I know that both of you are friends, but you should give more example to everyone.

Necrox: And here comes the fun spoiler... seriously, you shouldn't turn the students down like that.

Magio: That's OK. don't worry. She's right. Anyway, why did you came to get us, Miss Satori? I thought that you woul wait for us there.

Satori: ... In case that your brothers wouldn't run away... and didn't I told you to stop calling me devil?

Necrox started to whistle a song, like if he did nothing in the world. Lilly soon followed his whistle.


Satori: Anyway, let's go already. We aren't supposed to leave him waiting, even if it's still morning.

Keine: Goodbye, everyone. Have a nice day.

Music - Sunday's Sun

School Corridors


Marie: We will!

Hugh: Shouldn't keep the director ending!

Marie: It's principal!

Hugh: Same thing!

Thomas: Leaving these two idiots aside, i wonder what the principal wants with us.

Fael: Probably, has something to do with our powers.
Thomas: Yeah...
Fael: By the way Thomas, i wanted to ask you this, are you having luck on "that"?
Thomas: No clue...My memorey isn't fuzzy, it's a total blank, i just can't discover who i was as a child...

Fael: I'm sure you'll find out.

Thomas: I hope so.

Fael: By the way, i think i have some lunch boxes Hayate made (She really thinks on everything.) So i meant to share this with everyone.

Thomas: Oh, i want some.
Fael: It's one box for two people, here's your's Marie and Hugh....

Marie and Hugh: I'm not sharing food with this person.

Thomas: Seriously...

Fael: Oh...you guys aren't hungry? Then, okay, it remains more for me, Thomas, Magio, Necrox and Lilly.

Marie: (Damn....)

Hugh: (If i didn't have to share with miss smartass glasses...)

Outside the school

Marisa: Well, i'm going to fly around a little more, see you around Masa and Celly!

Masaki: NO! NICKNAAAAMES!

Celica: But, Masa is such a cute name.

Masaki: Exactly for that, it's embarassing....anyway, what are you doing in a place like this?

Celica: Oh, i came here searching for Ragna.

Shiro: As in Ragnarok?

Celica: Well, it's just Ragna.

Masaki: Well, I could help you, but i want to investigate here a little more.

Kuro: I'll do it for you meow, Shiro, make sure they don't get lost.

Shiro: Hey! Are you leaving me with the definition of Blind in crossfire in person?

Masaki: Okay, now that's just...Harsh...

Celica: Okay, good luck on the investigation Mr. Black Cat. Let's go Asakim!
asakimdowin?Masaki: Wait what?
Shiro: (Someone help me meow...)

Music - Pinky Promise

Spring Breeze Hospital


Hayate: Whew, i'm finally here, not having Fael to take me here can be a little tiring, even with an automatic wheel chair. Sigh...
???: Huh? Hayate-chan? What are you doing here alone?

Hayate: Well, today is my bro- i mean, Fael's first day at school.
???: Really? Where?

Hayate: Multilopolis High school.
???: Wow! If i knew he was going there, i could have changed the course to greet him there.
Hayate: There's always the tomorrow, Hibiki-san.


Hibiki Tachibana
A 15 years old girl that is one of the few survivors of the Zwei Wing incident, she and Fael studied on the same school before after they finished it, unknown to the public, Fael, Hugh and Marie actually helped in the evacutation of said incident.



Hibiki: How's he doing?

Hayate: Clumsy as always, but still a good kid.

Hibiki: Glad to hear he's the same, so, are you entering?

Hayate: Eh? Yes, you too?

Hibiki: Right, i need to do a checkup, something that was scheduled after my surgery. Here, i'll push the chair.

Hayate: Thanks.

They walked through the corridors, eating the lunch. Lilly and Necrox didn't shared their food, like Marie and Hugh. So they gave them to Satori, who ate it all. Their steps were the only in the entire school. They finally reached the door to the office. Satori sat back on her seat. She pressed a button and the door opened. Magio got first, followed by Necrox, Lilly and the rest.


Rinnosuke: Hello, everyone. It is nice to see you.

Magio: Hi, Kourin. Do you have something with us?

Rinnosuke: M-Magio, don't go calling me that. Anyway...

Rinnosuke snapped his fingers and 8 chairs appeared. He sat on the one in front of the rest and started to speak.

BGM: 7 weights


Rinnosuke: Possibly, you already know why I called you here, don't you?

Necrox: Let me guess. We're the only people in school to have powers, so you called us to help with a massacre with Peach, didn't you?

Rinnosuke: How did you know? No one told you, or someone did?

Necrox: She made a brief appearance before. Plus, asking that to a controller of Fate... isn't that a stupidity?

Rinnosuke facepalmed and laughed a little. Even if Peach didn't appear, Necrox would have probably known already.


Rinnosuke: ...Well you know of it already, now I ask: are you willing to save the fate of this Universe?

Magio: We made our decision. And our consensus is "yes". We will fight against Sister.

Hugh: Well, our city is in this whole friggin universe, so yeah.

Marie: We're not coming back on our decision.

Thomas: The Promise of a Hunter is harder than the strongest chain.

Fael: No regrets, only determination! So count with us Kourin...

*moment of silence*


Marie: FAEL!

Fael: Ops!

Hugh: Guess it was inevitable... (Way to ruin the mood.)

Thomas: It's probably contagious...or is it the fact that Fael is clumsy.

Fael: I-it was just a slip, it won't happen again Mr. Principal...

Kuro: Now now, don't lash at him like that meow.

Thomas: It wasn't my inten-WHOA! I heard about catgirls, but a talking cat is a first.

Kuro: Name's Kuro.

Marie:....

Hugh: (Uh oh...)

Kuro: What is it?

Marie: Can i hug you?
Kuro: Eh? MEEEEOOOOOOW YOU ALREADY DID!

Fael: Marie and her love for cats.

Thomas: She isn't like that when Izuko is around.
Marie: It's obvious, she not a total cat, but this one is!
Kuro: H-help....

Fael: *saves Kuro* Control your urges Marie.

Marie: Hufff.....hufff....

Hugh: Wow...her glasses are foggy!!!

Grassland

???: Sorry for making you wait Lady Yukari.
The scent of roses fills the air, as the vampire descends on the grassy field

Yukari: Oh Madam Rachel, you came!

Music - Queen of Roses


Rachel Alucard - The Scarlet Onlooker
An observer of the world, Rachel is a vampire from the Alucard family and the current head of it



Rachel: I was dropping someone who had affairs on here.

Yukari: Who exactly?

Rachel: When you meet her, you know from glance.

Yukari: Seriously?

Rachel: Not important, anyway, i felt Peach's aura near the school, if i would take a guess, she's after you, she's probably isn't happy after that trick i pulled when saving you.
Yukari: I must once again thank you, well, i think i'll leave the "Graduation Exam" to you.

Rachel: Yes, and remember, like we promised, the test will be of my choosing.
A huge coffin like prison descends from the sky.
Yukari: Wow, you won't show mercy huh?

Rachel: I believe they are strong enough to survive this ordeal, that's the definitive possibility.

Yukari: Well, i'm leaving, i'm not the only one in a pinch though.
Yukari flees through another gap, she had a rescue mission to do, then Rachel summoned a white table with teacups and a lone jar with a rose, then she took a seat and called her buttler.

Rachel: Valkenhayn, i'm parched, i demand tea.

???: That is the answer I would expect from you.

A bright light started to appear in their front. Its magnificent power gave it the blinding shine, life if they were watching the sun itself. Magio and the others blocked their eyes as the light bursted. From it, a magician appeared, showing itself to be a grand image towards the existence of magic.

BGM: Oath of the King


The Magician Observing the Progress of Magic
Rosenkreuz
He is another Observer, had the title given by the Great Seraph. He controls a real advanced outline of magic.

Rosenkreuz: Hello, my apreentice, his fellow brothers and friends.

Magio: Master Rosenkreuz! It's a honor to see you again.
Rosenkreuz: The same to me. Now, my apreentice, would you tell me how do you plan to fight your sister? As such, I know, you don't have a plan, neither any of you... correct?

Necrox: ... If you already know of that, why you bother asking us? For God's sake, we just gave our decision. How do you expect us to make a plan so fast?
Rosenkreuz: Now, now. I have come to inform a way for you to find her and defeat Peach. Under the Seasons, there are festivals that happen at the end of it. Under these Seasons, there are 4 Dreams: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Collect them and you will find your sister.

Lilly: I see... four Dreams. Understood.
Rosenkreuz: One more thing. Magio, the RKS are here. Collect their power and use their energy in your benefit.

Magio: OK... I understood.

Thomas: It's okay Hugh...I guess it's because...
Thomas eyes flashed for a second, they had a demonic feel on it.

Valkenhayn R. Hellsing
Rachel Alucard's Buttler and Guardian, he's a werewolf that serves the Alucard family and he's also one of the Six Heroes that fought in the Dark War against the Black Beast, despite being old, that doesn't hinder him from fighting for his master.



Fael: Valky!

Kuro: MEOW! Where did he come from?

Marie: Portals of course.

Valkenhayn: Hahaha! Now, now Master Fael, i told you to not call me by that.

Fael: But...Valkenhayn is very hard to...

Valkenhayn: You just said it, proof that you can spell my name correctly.

Hugh: Dude, it's just a nickname, why don't you accept it already?

Valkenhayn: It's all about manners, something thick skulled, filthy barbarian, whimpering dog like you never had.

Marie: No mercy at Hugh as always huh?

Hugh: Whatever.... (just because of the higher class, you shouldn't be so snobby....that makes me sick.)

Fael: Okay, Sir Valkenhayn, Yukari sent you here?

Valkenhayn: Yes, as well as on behalf of my lady.

Marie: Is she waiting for us there or just Madam Rachel.

Valkenhayn: Unfortunately, Lady Yukari won't be around for some time, she still have her Shikigamis to save.

Fael: Ran and Chen got captured as well.

Hugh: DAMN! Why this keeps happening?

Valkenhayn: So Masters Magio, Necrox and Lilly, do you mind if i take Masters Fael, Marie and Hugh to the grasslands now? I promise they'll be back soon.

Rosenkreuz: Valkenhayn, take the three of them with you. There is a test for them at the same place.

Rosenkreuz: This is the only one that I will spoke... in those grasslands, you will find Liebea Palesch.

Magio: Got it. Leave her to us.
Rosenkreuz: I'll be watching you, and I expect great results from all of you...

Rosenkreuz faded away as he gave Magio the first RKS to chase. Now, their tale would begin... or it already began...

Meanwhile


Perfect and Elegant Maid
Sakuya Izayoi
The head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She controls time and has great accuracy at throwing knives. Someone says she's simply a maid, but no human would be able to incarnate Jack the Ripper without a full moon...

As Yukari was taking care of some business, the Scarlet Devil Mansion had already gotten information about the kidnapping of the two Shikigamis. So, without furder ado, Sakuya was sent to help them until Yukari would appear. She knew that the one she would fight was the strongest of Peach's warriors.


Sakuya: Hmm... oh, there they are! And there she is too...


Single Spirit of Ragnarok's Blade
Gloria
One of the Deadly Shikigamis. She manipulates blades and can use anything to create one. Even if she seems to be a nice person, her desire to kill shows otherwise.

Gloria: Lady Peach's plan is perfect. With that, we will attract Yukari to this trap, and then we will finally have our hands on her.

Thomas: Best of luck to everyone.

Kuro: Have a nice trip meow

Graslands

Music - Preparations for war


Rachel: Welcome Fael, Hugh, Marie. You brought Magio, Necrox and Lilly too

Valkenhayn: It was by Master Rozenkreuz request.
Rachel: I can tell why, someone has been lurking around here as we speak.

Hugh was pinching his nose to something he called "stench of roses". Rachel got down from her chair as the table disappeared and the chair turned into her familiar Nago.


Rachel: It has been a while, you all seem determined...more than the bunch of little cry babies that i once met.

Hugh: Cut the crap rabbit, and tell us what you want with us already you bunny leech.

Rachel: Oh my Hugh, are you sure you are supposed to spout those uncouth insults when my buttler is around.

Hugh: Aww godda-

He starts to get a beating from Valkenhayn.


Valkenhayn: Must i always teach you to behave when directing your foul mouth to madam Rachel?

Rachel: It's okay for now Valkenhayn, i don't want him crippled before the test.

Hugh: Urgh...Damn you old man....

Valkenhayn: You should be thankfull that madam Rachel has forgiven you now, but don't think i'll let slip any more insults, so mind your mouth shut boy.

Marie: You heard him.
Hugh: Kurgh...I don't know, i think i dislocated my shou-ARGH!

Fael: There, fixed, learned some stuff from Doctor Faust...

Hugh: (But i'm supposed to be the guy who's studying to be a doctor.)

Music - Nocturne


Rachel: Ahem, are the shenanigans finished?
The Three: Yes!

Rachel: Well, i believe you three reconize this place.

Fael: Yeah, more than anyone, this used to be our secret spot before....that day....

Speaking about it was a taboo for the three friends, they always shudder just thinking about the time they nearly got killed.

Marie: Miss Yukari said to stay clear from this area, since the frailty of the borders in this place is higher than in any other one.

Hugh: And thus, strange things happen here....like those monsters.
Fael: So, what is this test exactly? Is it to overcome our trauma?

Rachel: Not exactly, the way you are now, would make it simply very easy.
Marie: But...
Rachel: It's about fighting something, against all odds.
Hugh: Like?

Rachel: If i tell you more, it will ruin the purpose of this test, Valkenhayn, it's time.

Valkenhayn: I understand Madam Rachel.

The Buttler proceeds to open the giant coffin like cage, they could feel some cold air coming from it, as if someone was literally being freezed, they braced themselfes, worried that who might come out.

???: Tch...using me like these, i'm not very fond of childplay you know?

Fael, Marie and Hugh: !!!

Music -Maleficus-


Azrael - The Mad Dog
A member of the Sector Seven, known worldwide as the mad dog, thanks for his fame of seeking strong foes, as well as not having values of Allies or enemies, for him, everything is his pray, and he is on the top of the food chain.



Rachel: Don't say it like that Mad Dog, you're having the oportunity to contribute to the growth of these three children, you should be honored

Azrael: Whatever, will they even last that long? They are just a bunch of kids.

Hugh: Kurgh...

Fael: What's wrong Hugh?
Hugh: ....

Marie: Don't tell me... you're hesitating?
Azrael: Hey, say something...or i'll have to end you quick before you lose your fighting will
Hugh: Heh....

Music - Continuum Shift


Hugh: Didn't this get more interesting now? It has been a while since i saw someone that actually made me tremble.
Azrael: Heh, who was the last one then?
Hugh: My stupid excuse for a father, during the time i actually respected him.
Azrael: I see, so, are you finished talking now.

Marie: Can't just stand here all day.

Fael: We...have places to return to...and we come to far to regret now, we'll go with everything on this guy.

Azrael: At least you have spirit, now come at me, entertain this mad dog.

Rachel: It starts, let make sure no one interferes.

Valkenhayn: Most certainly.

Rosenkreuz appeared again. He looked at the test of Fael's team.

Rosenkreuz: Always so merciless and challenging... that is why I do like your tests, Rachel. Anyway, it is your turn now, my apreentice. Start.

Rosenkreuz snapped his fingers as Magio, Necrox and Lilly were sent to the other side of the grassland.

BGM: Ice Flower
Liebea Palesch's Stage
-Lying in the Grasslands with Anguish-

They started to walk back to were they began, but soon noticed a big amount of fairies and Eggmets.


Lilly: I'm starting to suppose that he switched us with Liebea. She must be at the start.

Necrox: Good point, Captain Obvious. He wanted to watch closely how we'll battle with her.

Magio: You two, stop fighting. We must give our all, like Fael and the others are doing. Now, let's go.

Platform to platform, they jumped destroying the enemies that stood in their front. The fairies and Eggmets battled back, but their little shots were inneficient. There were many enemies in number, but soon they were dwindling. As they passed the first section out of four, the second seemed to be a balance.


Necrox: Spikes... one touch and you're dead...

Lilly: Those are the most bugging, if you see. I guess that we'll deal with falling platforms from now on too...

Magio: Let's go or else all our efforts will be in vain.

Necrox: It doesn't really make sense saying a heroic phrase like that. We're only going against Liebea, so what's the point?

They continued to walk, jumping over the platforms. Lilly almost fell, but Necrox saved her before she would fall to a spike. They crossed the traps, leaving the section and going to the section before last.


Lilly: There it is! The door to the boss!

Necrox: This seems to overwhelm us with traps and enemies... well, what's more than what we already saw before?

Magio, Necrox and Lilly took their shots against the traps and mobs. They passed through the door, and walked the corridor, only to find Liebea at the beginning.

BGM: Sadness


Nature's Anguish
Liebea Palesch [RKS008 Acht]
The eight member of RKS. A girl who controls nature through her power, Love Storm. She, who lives in anguish, possess such chaotic power... yet is unable to use it at will...


Liebea: Magio... Necrox... Lilly...

Magio: Hello... Liebea. How are you?

Liebea: Magio... I'm sad. Karl... my brother isn't coming back... I'm feeling such loneliness...

Necrox: Stop this drama. Karl is alive, you know that fully well.

Liebea: How can you say that?! H-How do you know that?!

Lilly: L-Liebea, calm down... I'm sure that Karl isn't dead. Even if he's away, I know that he'll come back, waiting to see you again!

Liebea: T-Then... Karl... no... he isn't coming...!!

Magio: Oh no! Get ready!!
Liebea: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

A Child's Rebelling Heart
RKS Battle
VS. Liebea Palesch

Liebea... everythime she lost herself in anguish and despair, her power would get out of control. That's exactly what happened. Love Storm seemed to be a stupid, ridiculous power. But it wasn't. If used right, it could crush anyone, it doesn't matter who it is. Rosenkreuz simply looked at her, losing control like a doll without her master. Magio, Necrox and Lilly knew that this wasn't going to be the most powerful battle, but they knew that underestimating Liebea is a sign of overconfidence.

Liebea chanted her power. A great tempest plunged Magio and his brothers on the ground. Liebea was holding her head as her sapphire glowed brightly. Her power really was incredible.


Necrox: OK, I eat my words. She's more harder than what I thought...

Music - The Tyrant


Rebel 1 - ACTION!


Hugh: Let me do the honors! Haaaah!
He advanced at high speeds at Azrael, whoever, Hugh missed the first punch, Azrael grabbed Hugh's leg and threw him away, when he did though, Fael was already in front of him with his Wooden Sword in hands.

Fael: Take this!
Azrael blocked this attack, then grabbed the wooden sword and threw it with Fael still holding it away, then he started to get bombarded with Mei's energy spheres.

Marie: Yeah, i got him.
Whoever, before she knew it, Azrael was in front of her, and grabbed her by the neck.

Fael: MEI!

Hugh: You...release her now!
Azrael: Make me, isn't this what this test is about?

Marie: What...you think you can...hold me for that long?
Mei took a hold of Azrael's arm, sigils formed in it and they exploded, making him release her, when he recovered, Fael ad Hugh once again closed on him.
Fael and Hugh: HYAAAAAAAA!!!!
With a swing of his sword and Hugh's Eletrified kick, they managed to hit Azrael.

Hugh: Urgh...what this guy is made off?

Fael: I wonder if we ever injured this guy...
Azrael: Hehehehehehe...

Fael:....

Azrael: Guess i can fight normally with you guys now.

Fael: Nor....mally?
Hugh get's suddenly kicked away with the Mad Dog's absurd strenght, he then throws a punc at Fael, he blocks it, but is sent flying away, hitting the lone tree with violence.

Fael: Gah....
Azrael: I still havent tested your endurance yet.

Marie: Ancient Barrier!
She enveloped herself in a veil, to endure another of Azrael's punches, she got sent away as well.

Rachel: It's only going to get harder from now on, the better you fight, the more dangerous he gets.

Hugh: Only now you...COUGH....tell us this....

Marie: She...wasn't supposed to tell us before...or it would ruin the tests purpose...
Azrael: Make sure to not disapoint me now, you have arrived at the point of no return, if you regret, consider yourselfes devoured.

Fael: Kurgh...An oponent that get's stronger the better we fight...now i get the "hopeless" part...but...

Music - ACE ATTACKER

Flashback

Hayate: Don't Lose Hope...

Flashback ends


Fael: My Hope will be really gone when i die...or when i stop smiling!
Azrael: Spare me of the heroic speeches.
Fael: Okay, if you want action, i'll give you this!
He spins his wooden sword on the air, gathering Light on it, then he takes a stance and aims at Azrael

Fael: Divine Punisher!!!
He shots a powerful blast at Azrael, it manages to hit him and send him away, bouncing some times on the ground until he stopped, falling on his feet, with a grin on his face.

Hugh: Haha! Nice one Fael.

Marie: We must not lose Hope!

Fael: Let's go! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
The three once again lunges at the Mad Dog, finally understanding what they must do.

BGM: A Child's Rebelling Heart still playing

Liebea's attacks were powerful. Magio shot some Light Spheres at her, but she hopped escaping his attacks. Lilly tried shooting some arrows at her, as Necrox's scarlet danmaku cornered Liebea. But it didn't matter, her power would save her. She called once again a tempest, forcing the Triplets on the ground once more...


Necrox: Damn, she's good!

Magio: At this rate, we'll never win her.

BGM: Persistent, Innocent Mind

Lilly too had her hopes down, but then she looked at Fael, Marie and Hugh's fight. After seeing how they were dealing with Azrael, something led her to try once more.


Lilly: Now, I'll make this be good. Let's see if her tempest can survive my arrows!

A big arrow was shot upwards, piercing the clouds. It splitted into little arrows that fought against the overwhelming rain. Liebea shielded herself with a boulder, but was hit by some arrows. Without giving her time to incantate again, Lilly shot another arrow that hit Liebea's sapphire. The jewel broke in tiny pieces, and Liebea finally lost the rest of control she had. With her hands holding her head, she screamed.


Liebea: Guh... AGH....... UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Liebea got into her Desperation Mode. A powerful gust blowed, pushing Magio, Necrox and Lilly away from her. The ground where they had foot started to float, as each of them were into a floating boulder.


Necrox: We better end this before Liebea destroys the grassland!

Magio: You're right. Lilly, continue with the Arrow Rain!

Lilly: OK!

Lilly kept shooting more arrows to the sky, as they fell on Liebea. The gust tried to blow them away, but they kept their progress to defeat Liebea.
