River: "Joelle speak to me!? Joelle!"

Rixelle: "No...!"

Joelle: "River..."

River: "Joelle... I'm so sorry... I was so weak that I can't even protect you..." he shed tears in his eyes.

Joelle: "Don't cry... I'm sure we will meet again... in my next life..."

River: "Don't say that! You can't die after meeting your mother now..."

Joelle: "Your right... I was happy to see my mother and all of you... I'm sorry but I know that I couldn't make it. The wound is deep even if you try heal me I will not survive... He damaged my spinal cord and he also damaged the systems in my heart. I will not make it but... I trust my future to you two now..."

Leif: "What a dramatic scene...your wasting time! She's right! She will not survive, after all she's goner now."

Joelle: "What a self pity... I just realize that there is something that I really feel about you..."

River: "What? What is it?" she hold his face and says...

Joelle: "I wish that...we could still be together... But I know that we cannot be together...this is not your time... It's my time you've come from the past and I'm from the future... I wish that we can still be together in the... end." her hand fell in his face and her eye sight began to fade.

Rixelle: "Joelle? Joelle!"

River: "Joelle please! Don't go...!!!!!" a tear fell in Leif's right eye and also faded so fast.

Leif: "BLACK FLARE: FLAMES OF DARKNESS!!!" Rixelle protect them with her Air Rotation.

Rixelle: "Big brother...don't let her death be in vain! Show her that we will carry-on her future..."

River: "... Rixelle..." suddenly in the middle of the battle Geraldine felt a little chill and getting a little bit worried.

Geraldine: (Huh? I feel so worried...)

Meanwhile in the battle front...

Aira: "BLADE MAGIC: DANCING DAGGERS!!!" she summoned magical daggers and attacked the army.

Minette: "Prepare to be blown away!" her eyes glowed and the wind gathered in her hands

"Take this! PSYCHIC MAGIC: PSY CYCLONE!!!"

Gwyneth: "WITCH ART: TREE BINDERS!!!" the roots restraint the soldiers "Alright! WITCH ART..." (Huh!?)

???: "BONE MAGIC: ENCHANTED BONE DAGGERS!!!" she blocked the attack of a foe from behind.

???: "Amazing... You were able to counter and block my attack. Hmm. however..." the man stops from walking forward.

Sean: "Your no match for us..." his skin suddenly shed and his bones turned into a long saber.

"BONE MAGIC: SPINAL LONG SABER!!!" he slashed Gwyneth's back.

Gwyneth: "AHHHH!!!!"

Two: "The Marceleon squad is here to help!"

Soldier: "Lady Scarlet! Sir Sean!"

Scarlet: "What a disappointment!

I was hoping you were as strong as the others."

Gwy: "Heh! Don't waste your time hoping cause... I'll crush your hopes along with your faces! As a punishment for slashing me..."

Two: "Nonsense!"

Gwy: "WITCH ART: EARTH GOLEMS!!!" she summoned many Golems and attacked them.

Scarlet: "DASH MAGIC: FURIOUS SLASH!!!" she cut the Golems quickly.

Sean: "Take this! BONE MAGIC: BONE STALACTITES!!!" he changed the formation of his bone into big stalacites, the bone pikes pierced the Golems and the Golems crumbled.

Gwy: "What a nice performance, However... How about countering this!!!" the rocks moved up and she cast her spell "WITCH ART: ANCIENT ART STONE RAGE!!!" the rocks were reshaped into boulders and fell towards Scarlet and Sean.

Scarlet: "DASH MAGIC: SWORDS DANCE!!!"

Sean: "BONE MAGIC: BONE SKULL KNIVES!!!" he created a big skull that that released a bones of knives

Scarlet: "Is that all you...!!!" (Huh!? She's Fast!) Gwyneth immediately strikes her with a stick in her stomach.

Gwy: "WITCH ART: BRANCH FLOURISH!!!" the stick grew and releases branches through her body.

Scarlet: "What?! Rrr!!!" Gwyneth realized something strange.

Gwy: "What!?" (There's no blood that came out of her?)

Sean: "So, you finally noticed it..."

Scarlet: "Sorry to tell this but my body doesn't produce blood anymore..." Gwyneth was shook.

Sean: "Beacause the two of us... Are already dead!" her wound is being healed by her own body.

Gwy: "It all make sense now. The two of you have been revived or should I say you two have been reanimated. Because your eyes are different from the living, what's more? I can't sense your magic powers."

Scarlet: "Good observation kid... Yes but you won't be able to kill us too. 'Cause when a person has been reanimated that corpse is immortal."

Gwy: "Who revived you?"

Marceleon: "That would be me..." a shadow takes shape in the battlefield and he appeared in the shadow "Good to see you. Miss Gwyneth."

Gwy: "Who are you?"

Marceleon: "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Marceleon one of the members of the Ten Flames."

Gwy: "I see... Just what kind of magic do you use?"

Marceleon: "Magic? You must be mistaken... I don't use magic I use a unique skill called Demon Curses."

Gwy: "Demon Curses?"

Marceleon: "Tell me have you ever heard the monsters of Zerphious called the Etherious or Demons from the curse of Zerphious?"

Gwy: "Some part of it... Why? Don't tell me that you are..." Marceleon grins deviously.

Marceleon: "Yes I am one of those monsters... And Lord Leif created me not Lord Zerphious."

Gwy: "I see... Then I will strike you down first!"

Marceleon: "Let's see if you can even pass these two...!" Scarlet and Sean charges forward, but suddenly someone kicked their faces.

Scarlet: "What!?"

Angelo: "Three against one is not fair you know? Especially for a lady like her."

Gwy: "Angelo?!" suddenly sands washed away the army and binded Marceleon and his team.

Christian: "We came here to help you out!"

Gwy: "Christian!"

Christian: "We'll handle his underlings while you take care of their leader!"

Gwy: "Right!"

Marceleon: "What a joke..." he transformed into a shadow and headed towards to Gwyneth.

"Take this! DEMON CURSE: SHADOW ORBS!!!" he attacked her with spheres made up of shadow but she managed to evade his attack.

Gwy: "Hey! I'm not going to hold back anymore!"

Marceleon: "So am I!" the ground suddenly cracked and a magic circle appeared under Gwyneth's feet.

Gwy: "WITCH SOUL ART: GWYNETH BLACK WITCH FORM!!!" Marceleon was shocked that Gwyneth even have such power.

Marceleon: "Impressive! I never thought that you can wield such magic power!"

Gwy: "Hey, I'm going to eat your soul along with my other soul magic Ehehehe!!!!" she put out her tongue a little and taunt him.

Bea: "Erghhh!!! Just as I thought..." the four collapsed and lie down into the ground "Everyone!"

Aria: "As for the three of you... I'm going to take you!" he grabbed Bea's neck.

Leif: "Alright, do as you please."

Marlon: "Majesty! You need a new clothes for the upcoming final battle."

Leif: "I know. Don't worry, I'll just use my Clothe Magic." he snaps his fingers and his clothes changed.

River: "This one is really powerful!"

Rixelle: "Impossible! How could he have a tremendous amount of magic power?!"

Marlon: "Let me introduce myself. I'm Marlon the leader of the Ten Flames of Zanderon." the two were shocked and suddenly a wind passes by to them.
