When the announcement for Mephisto's victory echoed across the arena, Christine jumped with joy, flashing her blue-striped panties to the audience for the last time. She didn't care about the booing, nor the fact that her team had beaten the Vigilantes to a pulp. She waved around cheerfully to the audience, proud that they had won the match.

Afterwards, she took her seat amongst the audience, eager to watch the other matches. She had politely rejected Celestine's invitation for medication, saying that she wanted to watch the other matches.

She watched as the ghost of Lise's ancestor appeared in the battlefield. It was such a spectacle she almost fell from her seat from leaning forward too much. It turned into a knights vs knights battle. Ghostly knights that served the ghostly princess vs flesh and blood knights and a flesh and blood princess (she selfishly just thought of Samoth as Lise's guardian as well). Who would win, she wondered?

She disliked the fact that the battlefield was now covered in a fog however. The chill might bother others but as a snow user, it was nothing to her. In fact, it just made the arena more comfortable. She was still tired from her fight so she didn't cool the air around her. She even had to resort to lifting her coat and using it as a makeshift fan. Her panties would show but everyone was focused on the match, right?

Before the mirror match could be decided however, a new force appeared in the battlefield as one of them decided to transform into a demon. It was clearly not in their plans to do so as her own teammate attacked her for it.

[i]Oh my, this match sure has a lot of twists and turns! How exciting![/i]

Even with the demon in the field, the St. Laurel fighters still managed to hold. Christine was impressed by the durability of the ghost lady, though she supposed it just came naturally with her being already dead and all. But eventually, she was defeated by Lise and her servants, lifting the spell of fog and chill upon the arena.

"Good job, Lise! Keep it up!" she shouted standing up, impressed by her performance.

Next to fall was the demon. Even with such a ferocious enemy, with their teamwork, they managed to win brilliantly, even finishing off the match with a style.

"Wow, that was awesome!" Christine shouted as everyone clapped for their victory. She now wished they had finished their match as stylish as they did.

The next match was longer, and more one-on-one than the previous. First, Wolf faced against Meredith, with her taking the initiative. Wolf however managed to gain the upper hand against her eventually.

Until she decided to go second form at least.

[i]I wish I could have a second form as well... Though probably not without the "outfit turning skimpier" part...[/i]

However, her attention was soon diverted to Diana who now somehow had a coat of dark flames all around her. She then shot across the arena like a comet, clearly aiming for the opponent's flag.

[i]Wow, that is so cool![/i]

She noticed Ria and Nas facing off against each other from the corner of her eyes. But her attention was still fixated on Diana.

And then she suddenly stopped on mid-air.

[i]Aaw, why does she stop? The flag is right there![/i]

Her question was answered right away, as Diana began bombarding the area with her flames.

[i]Aah, so there's an enemy there! I didn't notice at all![/i]

Her attention then came back towards Meredith, who was still fighting Wolf. Now, she was clearly superior to him, both in speed and power. Christine now wondered just how long Wolf would last. And she soon was answered by an explosion coming out from Meredith, knocking him down to the ground.

With the action over, her attention turned back to the witch. To her surprise, Michael actually managed to subdue her.

[i]And I thought she got that in the bag...[/i]

However, the witch ended up turning the table by summoning a familiar from such a precarious position. The slaughter that ensued actually made Christine worry about the boy.

[i]That looks really painful! And that! And that too![/i]

Averting her gaze from the brutality, her sight moved back to Meredith.

[i]Oh my, another transformation? That's Wolf, isn't it?[/i]

She saw the fully armored figure that stood up against Meredith. Expecting a more equal fight, Christine braced herself with excitement.

Only for Meredith to just ignore him, going after other targets instead.

[i]Oh come on![/i]

However, they only switched opponents. Now Wolf faced off against the witch and her familiar, somehow making it toss its master to the side, while Meredith was actually stopped by Nas' barrier. 

[i]W-what is this sudden development?![/i]

She watched tensely as the familiar went all out against Wolf while Diana was doing her witch stuff to try to regain control. And she actually did, summoning a terrible-looking horse while banishing the previous one. She rode on top of it with the last of her strength, intending to obtain the flag victory right away.

[i]Hmm, she could've let the old familiar pummel Wolf to the ground. It was clearly winning back there...[/i]

Back at Meredith, she was engaging Nas. At least until she decided not to, leaving her imps for him. 

[i]I think Nas got her team's flag. So she's chasing after it after he had thrown it over the wall...[/i]

Christine looked around for the flag. It turned out that the flag had landed near Diana.

And now Wolf was challenging her for it.

[i]See? I told you. You should've finished him back then![/i]

Diana charged with a spear but Wolf simply outplayed her with his net. The witch fell off her horse, harshly crashing her body to the ground.

It was over for her.

Wolf took Nas' flag before taking Diana's flag from her limp body. Meredith, who thought to ambush him, was instead ambushed herself, falling face first to the ground with her panties exposed.

Christine couldn't help but blush at her choice of risque underwear.

[i]And now, he just has to carry those flags to the goal.[/i]

To her exasperation however, he instead decided that he wanted a rematch with Meredith, throwing the flags away to the ground.

[i]Ooh, what are you doing?[/i]

Wait, he's not even going back for a rematch. He's helping her stand up.

[i]Whaaat?[/i]

And then, something even more surprising happened. Meredith pulled Wolf towards her. Christine wasn't sure what was going on only that right after that, Wolf resummoned his armor. And it seemed it was heavy enough to keep the girl down.

Thus, the only one left was Nas, who was sprinting after the flags while fighting against Meredith's imps. In the end, he remained triumphant, as he managed to knock out every last imp that was attaching itself to him.

And with that, the Vigilantes won the match.

[i]Haa, that sure was a hectic match...[/i]

[i]And now, it's time for Kath's match...[/i]

Kath's group started off with what she assumed was a team buff of sorts. And then, Kath boldly threw William upwards. As ethereal wings grew from his back as well, Christine understood.

[i]They want to utilize his copy power![/i]

And then, Vittorio went on a rampage, lasers firing everywhere across the fields, destroying pillars and walls alike.

[i]Wow, that is amazing![/i]

[i]...Wait, Kath! Where are you, Kath?[/i]

She found her sister hiding behind one of the enclosure walls. She didn't stay there for long however until she charged right towards Mr. Laser Man.

[i]Always as hotheaded as ever...[/i]

Vittorio noticed her and he seemed to welcome her assault. He glowed blue and aimed his laser-firing tentacles towards Katherine. But Kath managed to dodge all of them, to Christine's relief.

Only to get caught by the tentacles themselves.

"Kath!" Christine shouted. She could only watch as her sister tried to free herself. She could see her clothes slowly evaporating as she turned up her heat. It didn't work however and Yuuto used the opportunity to throw in some punches of his own.

[i]I know I'm supposed to root for my school, but...[/i]

And then, Katherine suddenly bounced back into the fight. With her much more intense heat, she cut through Vittorio's tentacles with ease, freeing herself immediately.

[i]I knew I shouldn't worry about her! She's a monster after all![/i]

But then, Yuuto upped his game as well. He began slicing and dicing at Kath with deadly precision, to the point that Christine felt he was actually intending to kill her. And to her horror, even with her boost, Kath was still being overwhelmed by him.

"Kath!" Christine shouted once again. Could it be that Yuuto was actually trying to... b-but why?

The fight turned even more chaotic as Vittorio suddenly turned against Yuuto. It was just enough to stop the ninja temporarily.

Only for William's arrow to land on her chest, as the ninja was gone.

"Katherine!" Christine shouted even louder.

The girl fell, blood coughed out of her mouth.

And Christine leaped out of the stands, only to crash into the separation barrier she forgot existed.

She fell back to her seat with a slight bloodied nose.

She could only witness in a disoriented state as Kath's demonic form rose, shattering the very same separation barrier that had hold her back.

"K-Kath... w-wait..." Christine said weakly as she saw her sister flying away.

And then, she bolted, running straight towards the exit of the arena. She froze any person who would bar her path, leaving a trail of frost in her wake as she used her skating ability to move as fast as she could.

[i]Kath, wait for me, I'm coming![/i]

[hr]

It didn't take her long to reach the park where Kath had landed.

Only to find Kath snuggling against a boy she was unfamiliar with.

"Kath!" she shouted, before going to her location. She knew there was something wrong with her immediately just from what she was doing with the boy.

Halting herself a safe distance from her, she said with a suspicious expression, "You're not Kath, aren't you? Kath would never act all lovey dovey with a boy! You're some kind of demon possessing her!"
