Forces from outside of Clover Meadows are at work. Two figures were making their way to Clover Meadows. One was tall and muscular, but had messy black hair and looked like he didn't care much for appearance. The other was shorter with an elegant mask on his head.

"Clover Meadows should be just ahead, Yami."

"About time. I'm getting tired of all this walking." Yami complained. "Is Julius sure about these guys, Vangeance."

"We'll know soon enough, I believe." Vangeance claimed as the two of them kept walking, but if they know Julius, does that mean they know about the rangers?

...

The Rangers

The rangers have won many battles against the Dark Triad. Winning all those battles has made them get a little cocky. They looked over some of their past fights with magic. They were all enjoying it like it was a movie.

"We really can kick butt." Asta said.

"Of course it is. You have the likes of me to help out." Noelle said.

"Come on. It was a team effort. We're all just that good." Finral said. They all have gotten a little arrogant from all their past battles, and Julius seems to be finding that troubling.

"Shouldn't you all be getting to work or something?" Julius said.

"Julius, we've saved the world day after day." Noelle said. "What's so bad about not doing a little work around here. No offense, but it's really nothing compared to what we do all the time."

"Funny because working here at Timeless Meals really is what you do all the time." Julius pointed out to get them moving. "Get to work, all of you." They all groaned as they weren't looking forward to work for once. "Also, I have a few friends coming over. They should be here soon. They have something that will be able to help you all."

"Help us with what? Be better servers? We don't need to be better rangers." Luck said.

"Can't get better when you're already the best." Vanessa said. Julius knows what overconfidence can do to people, but he really hopes it doesn't happen to his rangers. All of them got to work at Timeless Meals, but they weren't as enthusiastic about work as usual.

"Here you go, Mimosa. One Caesar salad." Noelle said as she just gave Mimosa her food.

"Is everything okay, Noelle?" Mimosa said as she could tell there was something wrong.

"Yeah. I'm just getting bored with the same routine going on." Noelle said.

"You know what might be a good change of pace? Taking me up to the secret room upstairs." Mimosa said as she wants to know what's up there, but Noelle wasn't going to budge that easily. "Can't blame a girl for trying, but what do you guys have up there that you're being so secretive about?" Noelle still wasn't talking. It's just making Mimosa more and more curious.

"Asta, can you get the dishes on table six?" Finral said.

"Yeah." Asta said as he got to work. He picked up all the dishes that he could. When he turned around, he accidentally bumped into someone and dropped the dishes everywhere. "Oops. Sorry." Unfortunately for him, the person he bumped into was Yami. When he did that, Yami placed his hand on Asta and placed it in a vice grip.

"You spilled those dirty dishes on me. What the heck was that for?" Yami said.

"It was an accident! I didn't see you, which is weird considering your size." Asta said.

"Are you saying I'm fat?!" Yami said as he was getting angry and tightened his grip.

"Easy, Yami." Vangeance said as he showed up behind him. "He said he was sorry and that it was an accident. You're causing a scene."

He's right, Yami." Julius said as he showed himself. "He is my employee. Would you mind putting him down?" Yami did what he was told and dropped Asta with Asta making sure his head was still on. "Asta, go back to work while I handle this, please."

"Uh... Sure..." Asta said as he let them be, but Asta thought there was something about those two. As Asta got back to work, he also took out the trash and carried it outside to the dumpster.

"Asta!" Asta turned around and was surprised to see Yuno was there.

"Yuno! What are you doing here?!" Asta said.

"I was on my way to get some groceries for everyone back at the church." Yuno said. "I thought I stop for a moment to see how things were. For a small restaurant, you sure seem to be kept busy. Everyone is wondering if you're still one of us."

"What does that mean?" Asta said. "I've been sending in money and everything."

"True, but you're not around as much anymore." Yuno said. "I'm not gonna lie, Asta. Everyone back at the church is wondering what you're really up to. Your money helps, but you're not around as much anymore. I've been doing all the chores you were suppose to do and it looks like I'm becoming the little favorite around there."

"Favorite?! I help out, but I've been busy!" Asta said.

"Busy serving tables?" Yuno said as he thinks Asta is just making excuses. "No disrespect, Asta, but I always did excel compared to you."

"What?!" Asta said as a little competitive spirit was getting to him.

"Asta!" Finral called as he hurried out. "You better get in here." It sounded urgent and that meant that the rangers might need be needed.

"We'll talk later, Yuno." Asta said as he made his way up and back inside with Yuno wondering what this could be about. All the rangers made their way up the stairs with Mimosa seeing it and her curiosity getting stronger and stronger. They all made their way up and gathered around the crystal ball.

"What's going on now?" Luck asked.

"Something very bad." Julius said as the crystal ball was turning dark. It felt ominous and powerful. "There's something evil just outside of Clover Meadows. You rangers must be careful. This evil I'm sensing is much stronger than anything you've faced before."

"It's nothing we can't handle." Asta said as they were all confident they can handle what's going on, but Julius wasn't sure about this with them being cocky.

"I think I better go as well." Julius said. He just knows that something bad is going to come from this.

...

A Rock Quarry

The evil that was detected brought them to a rock quarry. The five of them and Julius emerged out of Finral's portal and looked around for any sign of evil.

"This should be where that dark power was coming from." Julius said.

"I don't see anything." Luck said.

"There's got to be something around here." Vanessa said.

"Rangers!" They all looked up and spotted Vanica and Zenon up there.

"It's just Vanica and Zenon." Finral said as they thought there was really nothing to worry about, but Julius wasn't so sure about that. What he detected was stronger than those two. He soon saw the real source as Dante showed himself up there.

"Hello, rangers. At last we finally get to meet each other." Dante said.

"Who are you?" Asta questioned.

"My name is Dante. I am the oldest of the Dark Triad, as well as the leader."

"You're the leader? That works for us." Asta said. "This gives us the chance to end this once and for all."

"What a coincidence. I was thinking the same thing myself, but it won't end the way you think it will." Dante said. "I'm curious to see what you rangers are truly capable of, considering all the monsters you destroyed. I think it's time to see how you will do against the likes of me."

"This is going to be so much fun!" Vanica said as she was getting all giddy from it.

"It will be once we stomp you freak out for good." Noelle said.

"Let's take it to them!" Asta said as the five of them reached for their morphers.

"Mana Morpher! Magic Calling!" The five of them morphed and were set to end things with the Dark Triad once and for all. Dante stepped forward and readied himself for what is about to happen.

"Time to see what you brightly colored fools can truly do." Dante said as he was summoning his power with him changing like his siblings did. A shadowy form came over the upper half of his body with a black visor and helmet forming over his head with horns coming out of it. He also grew wings and a thin devil's tail and had a white circle on his chest.

"Be careful, all of you." Julius said.

"He doesn't look so tough." Asta said.

"Oh no?" Dante taunted as he flew straight down and was on the same level as them. "You haven't seen anything yet." All he did was thrust his hand forward. When that happened, a powerful and invisible force smashed against Asta and sent him flying across the area with him smashing against the rock wall.

"Asta!" Noelle called.

"What just happened?!" Vanessa said.

"Did I forget to mention? I have the ability to manipulate gravity!" Dante said. His power was used more as he launched a series of stones at the others. All of them had rocks smashed against them with great force that none of them could endure it. "Thrashed around already? I'm disappointed."

"We haven't even begun yet!" Asta called as he got back up and charged right at him. Dante didn't even try to stop him. He let Asta closed the distance between them and slashed his sword against him, but it looked like it had no effect on him. "What?"

"You think that tiny sword can really harm me?" Dante continued to taunt. Asta tried a few more times, but nothing happened. "I should thank you for a little extra power!" He took the power that came from those attacks and turned it into his own. He smashed his fist against Asta and there was a lot of force behind that attack.

"Asta! Are you okay?!" Noelle said as the team regrouped.

"I got him!" Luck said. He tried blasting Dante with his lightning, but Dante just absorbed that attack as well.

"You waste your time. All you're doing is making me stronger!" Dante fired a powerful blast and blasted all of the rangers with them knocked to the ground so easily.

"Our attacks are helping him?" Vanessa questioned.

"He must be taking the power from our attacks and turning it into his own." Finral groaned.

"I was expecting more of a challenge." Dante said as he moved forward. "How disappointing after all that has happened until now."

"We're not beaten yet!" Asta said as he got back up.

"Asta, wait. We can't attack him directly." Noelle reminded.

"Maybe, but he's got to have a weakness or something, and I'll find it!" Asta claimed as he charged right at Dante, ignoring the disadvantages he has. Asta kept attacking, but Dante brushed all of his attacks aside.

"No way we're going to let Dante have all the fun. Right?" Vanica asked her brother.

"No." Zenon said. They both changed forms and joined in the fight with them charging at the other rangers. Vanica came at both of the girls. Noelle tried fighting her off, but Vanica kicked her in the gut and slashed her claw against her. Vanessa swung her sword at her, but she moved out of the way with her slashing her claw against her. When Vanessa hit the ground, Vanica stomped her foot down on her. Zenon fought off both guys. Luck tried attacking him, but he stopped it with his spear and slashed it against Luck. When Luck hit the ground. Zenon tried attacking him again.

"No you don't!" Finral said as he stopped it, but Zenon twirled his spear around to get Finral's sword out of the way and slashed Finral with his spear. Asta wasn't doing any better against Dante. Asta kept trying to attack him, but Dante kept absorbing the power from his attacks. Dante soon grabbed a hold of Asta with his gravity powers and tossed him up in the air. When he did that, Dante flew up to him and smashed against Asta multiple times before smashing him against the ground.

"Are you finished yet?" Dante taunted.

"Not a chance!" Asta tried attacking again, but all three of the Dark Triad attacked the rangers and did some real damage to them. All five of the rangers were thrown together and were at the enemy's mercy, assuming they have any.

"I'm disappointed myself." Vanica said. "I was hoping after all the trouble they gave us, that when we did finish them, it wouldn't be this easy."

"We're not giving up." Asta said as he tried to stand back up, but Dante stomped down on him and kept him down.

"You're simply overpowered." Dante said. Asta tried attacking him with his saber, but Dante easily caught it. "I can sense your anger and hatred you have towards me. Seeing as how you have so much, I feel flattered."

"Flattered?" Asta said.

"Malic is an emotion that separates humans from other animals." Dante said. "That is why when the gates of the Netherworld fully open, humanity will end and enter its truest state of era. The strongest humans will survive and the strong are the ones we can fight. Might sound malicious, but that's the point. In fact, it is the very essence of human nature."

"No! I refuse to believe that!" Asta said as he won't surrender to the enemy's will.

"Think what you want." Dante said as he leaped back and stood with his siblings again. "None of you will be around much longer." The three of them held out their hands and were converging their power into one grand attack. The rangers won't be able to take another hit like this one. They would have been in real danger, but Julius stepped in to save them.

"I don't think so." Julius said. He unleashed some of his magic and caused an explosion that prevented the three of them from using their attack. "All of you need to go. Now."

"What? We're not running from these guys." Asta said.

"I'm not giving you a choice." Julius said. None of the rangers wanted to run, but these strange roots came out of the ground and tied around the rangers.

"What is this?!" Vanessa said.

"You're escape! Go!" Julius said as he charged at the enemy himself and tried fighting the three of them.

"We're not leaving you with them!" Noelle called, but they weren't being given much of a choice. A dark cloud came around the rangers, cutting them off from Julius.

"Julius!" Asta called before the darkness could separated them, leaving Julius to fight the enemy alone.

...

The Rangers

The rangers were taken out of the rock quarry and ended up somewhere in the woods. All of them were dropped off and demorphed, none of them having any idea on what happened to them.

"Julius!" Asta called as he got up, but he looked around and saw no sign of Julius anywhere. "No! He's back there with those three, alone!"

"We've got to go back and save him! Finral, a portal!" Noelle said.

"I'm on it." Finral said as they were all frantic to get back.

"None of you are going anywhere, unless you want to get thrashed around like ragdolls again." All of them looked and were surprised to see Yami and Vangeance were with them.

"Wait a minute. You two are the people Julius was talking to earlier." Vanessa said.

"You're the ones that saved us?! Why didn't you get Julius out of there?!" Asta said as he hated he was left behind, but all Yami did was grip his head and glared down at him.

"Is that anyway to thank the guys that saved you? Did you actually want to get beaten to a pulp by the three weirdos?" Yami said.

"Yami, please. They just don't understand the situation." Vangeance said. Yami was annoyed, but he released Asta. "We wanted to save Julius too, but he wanted us to save the five of you. He thinks highly of all of you."

"Who are you people? How do you even know Julius? Do you also want to fight?" Luck said.

"Let me introduce us. My name is William Vangeance. My associate is Yami Sukihira. We are comrades to Julius, we both hold high value of him."

"Hold on." Vanessa said as she was putting the pieces together. "Are you two Magic Knights like Julius?"

"That's right." Yami said with all of them amazed they're meeting other Magic Knights. "Julius asked us to come here to give you a power that could help you defeat those guys. However, after seeing how you guys got beaten around, I'm not sure you're even worthy of having this power."

"Not worthy? Do you not know who we are, especially me?" Noelle said feeling insulted.

"Why are we not worthy? We may have gotten beat, but we're not giving up." Asta said.

"You got beat because you were overconfident." Yami scolded. That's just what Julius said. "It was so bad that Julius had to come in and sacrifice himself to save all your sorry butts. He might be powerful, but I doubt he can fight off all three of them. He's now in the enemy's hands all because you guys were cocky."

"Sadly, I must agree with Yami." Vangeance claimed. "This power should be granted to those who are worthy, but I'm not sure if you do deserve it." All the rangers started blaming themselves for this happening. Julius tried warning them, but they didn't listen and he paid the price for it.

"You're right." Asta said as he spoke up for the others. "We were overconfident and got beat, but we won't that mistake again. We're not giving up. Tell us what we have to do to prove that we are worthy of this power. Tell us how we can get it so we can save Julius. That's all that matters now." Asta's words got through to the others and stood with him. Yami and Vangeance could see that they were serious. There might be a chance for them.

"Fine, but it won't be easy." Yami said.

"What is this power anyway?" Vanessa asked.

"It's known as Saint Power, the power to destroy devils." Vangeance claimed. A power to destroy the devils might be what they need, but if they can't get a hold of it, Julius could be lost and the Dark Triad's will win in the end.
