The rangers are attempting to stop whatever it is Zagred has planned, but it's not easy. Zagred is more powerful than any devil they've faced before. Their situation was getting worse as they felt dark powers flowing into their world.

"I don't know what's going on, but we've got to get to where this power is coming from." Asta said.

"You won't be going anywhere!" Zagred claimed. He unleashed more of his power against the rangers and caused a powerful explosion to go off. "Got them." He thought he did, but the smoke cleared away and he saw they were gone. "Hold on. They're not here?!" Groaning in frustration, Zagred gave chase to them. The other rangers were able to use that explosion to cover for them and move around Zagred.

"I'm pretty sure that power we all felt is coming from this direction." Asta said.

"We better hurry. We don't have time to deal with that creep now. It sounds like whatever is happening is going to happen any minute." Yuno said.

"Wait a minute. Where's Noelle?" Vanessa said. All of them looked around and saw that she wasn't with them anymore.

"She must have took off in another direction. Should we go look for her?" Finral questioned.

"There's no time. We need to get to wherever that power is coming from. We'll just have to hope she makes it." Yuno said.

"Do you really think she'll be okay on her own?" Luck questioned.

"Besides, Noelle can take care of herself. I know she'll be able to catch up to the rest of us." Asta believed. All of them agreed to that and kept moving.

...

The Dark Triad

"I can feel it." Dante said as he welcomed the dark power like a breath of fresh air. "I can feel the power of the Netherworld entering this world. The gates are opening even wider. Whatever it is Zagred has planned, this surely work." Dante and Vanica appeared to like it, but Zenon just looked away as he couldn't really watch it.

"Well, let me know when the party is about to start." Vanica said as she was leaving the area.

"Where are you going?" Dante questioned.

"Why should Zagred have all the fun?" Vanica said. "I have a little something I like to finish myself. I have a feeling this might be my best chance." Vanica just took off with her planning to settle something. Her brothers have an idea of what that something is and have no problem with it at all.

...

Noelle

In that attack that Zagred unleashed, Noelle ended up getting separated from the rest of the team. Noelle tried making her way to where the Dark Triad was, hoping the other rangers will be there as well.

"I'm sure that dark power is just up ahead." Noelle told herself as she kept on moving.

"There you are, little Noelle!" Noelle knew that eerie voice that always irritated her.

"Vanica!" Noelle said as she faced her. "I don't have time for you now. Get out of my way!"

"You'll have to make time." Vanica said as she changed into her armored form. Seeing where this was going, Noelle readied herself for a fight. "You were always my favorite ranger to play with, my little Noelle. This time, your pathetic friends can't get in the way. It's just you and me now."

"Stop talking. Every word you say just annoys me." Noelle said.

"You're right. Let's not spend this whole time talking. Let's have some fun!" Vanica shouted as she was the first to attack. She swung her claw and unleashed a powerful shockwave, but Noelle was able to jump right over it. When she dodged that attack, she charged right at Vanica. She tried swinging her sword at Vanica, but Vanica was able to block it with one arm and smashed her other arm against Noelle. Vanica tried kicking her in the gut, but Noelle was able to grab her leg.

"Nice try." Noelle said as she tossed Vanica and caused her to spin around in the air. Noelle gave Vanica a good slash with her saber. Vanica was able counter by landing on her feet and blast Noelle with her own attack.

"That's more like it!" Vanica laughed. "Come on, Noelle! I don't want the fun to end just yet!"

"The fun's over and so are you!" Noelle claimed as she couldn't stand Vanica. She's going to see to it that this is the last fight they ever have.

...

The Rangers

Meanwhile, the other rangers continued to try and find the source of all this dark power. They kept moving until they finally saw the magic circle in the ground.

"Guys, there it is!" Luck pointed out.

"We found the source, but what is it and how do we stop it?" Finral said. They were trying to figure out what they were going to do, but they didn't the chance as they felt some pressure come down on them and the cliff they were all standing on caused it to break apart. They all fell to the ground and took some hard hits from that fall.

"What just happened?" Yuno questioned.

"I recognize that feeling." Asta said as he knew who was behind that.

"Hello there." All of them looked and saw Dante and Zenon in their armored forms like they were expecting the team to show. "You're early. The real show hasn't even started yet, but at least you'll get good seats to the beginning of the end."

"The show is over Dante!" Asta said as the the team got back up. "You better stop whatever is your planning right now!"

"I think you're a little short to be barking orders at me." Dante taunted.

"Besides, it's far too late to stop what is coming." The rangers looked to the side to see Zagred coming back. "The sun and the moon are almost in perfect alignment with the planet. Once that happens, a truly terrifying power will rise in your world, a power that no one can stop."

"And what is this power?" Zenon questioned as he didn't fully trust Zagred.

"Zenon, stop with all the questioning!" Dante ordered. "The bottom line is that there's nothing you rangers can do to stop us!"

"We'll see about that!" Asta said as all five of them were ready for a fight.

...

Noelle

Noelle was still fighting her best against Vanica. Noelle and Vanica kept attacking each other and blocking each one of those attacks. Noelle and Vanica tried to push the other down. Noelle broke their little struggle by kicking her back. Vanica went at her again, but Noelle moved out of the way. However, Vanica kicked her right in the back.

"Take this!" Vanica unleashed a powerful attack and blasted her and knocked Noelle done. "Don't tell me you're done yet!"

"Not even close!" Noelle claimed as she got back up.

"Good! I haven't had enough!" Vanica claimed as she flew straight at Noelle, but Noelle jumped out of the way. Vanica came back around as she kicked off from the rocks and slashed her claw against Noelle. Noelle tried getting back up, but Vanica stomped down on Noelle's arm to keep her pinned or from using her saber. "I'm having a lot of fun, Noelle! Don't disappoint me by going down so easily!" Vanica swung her claw down, but Noelle was to grab her arm and stopped her.

"Get off!" Noelle shouted as she swung her leg up and was able to kick Vanica off. Vanica tried going at Noelle again, but Noelle slashed her saber against her. "Saint Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar!" Noelle and Vanica unleashed their own attacks and they ended up colliding. A large explosion went off that blew the both of them back. They've both taken a lot of damage from this fight and are getting exhausted, but they're both holding strong. Noelle's doing her best because she's fighting for her friends and the world. Vanica is just psychotic and thought this was all fun.

"That's it, Noelle! More! Give me more! Come at me with everything!" Vanica shouted.

"What the heck is wrong with you?" Noelle said as she couldn't stand Noelle's personality anymore.

"I'm having too much fun!" Vanica said. "Come on, Noell! Don't tell me you've had enough!"

"I've had enough of you!" Noelle claimed as she got back up. "You are demented, vicious, and just psychotic. You're willing to destroy everything just so you can find strong opponents to fight."

"And it looks like I have found one." Vanica said.

"The very one who is bringing you down for good!" Noelle declared. She started walking to Vanica and was set to end this.

"The only one falling here is you!" Vanica declared as she unleashed her own attack at Noelle, but Noelle endured and kept going. "What?!" Vanica kept attacking, but Noelle kept pushing and going. It was like nothing was stopping her down. Vanica wasn't liking this at all.

"Saint Magic: Sea Dragon Roar!" Noelle unleashed her signature attack. The attack roared right at Vanica and tried blasting her. Vanica tried her best to endure the attack, but Noelle used the attack as a diversion. Noelle closed the distance between them and slashed her saber against Vanica with all her might. She sent Vanica flying and knocked her out of her armored form. Vanica rolled against the ground, but she was still laughing. Noelle stood over her and couldn't believe what Vancia was even doing. "What are you laughing about?"

"This is the sort of fight I was looking for. The kind of fight I always wanted." Vanica said. "You're the kind of opponent I always wanted to fight. I can't wait for another match. Now that I found the opponent I was looking for, we can be friends." Noelle was astonished on that. "I mean it. We can be friends, rivals." Vanica tried getting up and tried reaching Noelle in a psychotic friendship. "We can make each other stronger and fight again."

"No way!" Noelle said as she kicked Vanica back down. "I'm disgusted that you would even make such a proposal. You don't even know what friends are, Vanica. You think all that matters in life is fighting strong opponents."

"What else could there be?" Vanica questioned.

"Friends, family, love, so much more than fighting, but you're too psychotic to see that." Noelle said. "You might look human, but you're not human at all." Noelle held her saber near Vanica and kept her from trying anything. This is where Vanica might have actually fallen.

...

The Rangers

Asta and the others tried their best to fight off the enemies to get to that magic circle, but the enemy won't let them through. Asta tried to get around Zagred, but Zagred wasn't letting him through. Zagred used his trident and blocked all of Asta's attacks.

"Out of the way!" Asta demanded as he kicked Zagred back and slashed him with his sword.

"You're not getting through that easily." Zagred said as he swung his trident and kept Asta from going anywhere. Finral, Luck, and Vanessa tried fighting off Dante together. The three of them kept attacking him, but he brushed each of their attacks away.

"Face it, rangers! You can't win!" Dante said. He tried blasting them with dark orbs, but they all dodged his attacks. "Humanity's end is almost here!"

"Not while we're here!" Vanessa said as she and Finral grabbed him by the arms. Luck tried blasting him with lightning, but Dante used his gravity powers to blow them all off. That just left Zenon and Yuno. Zenon kept having Yuno move back, but Yuno was able fend off all his attacks. When Zenon thrusted his spear forward, Yuno caught it with both his swords and held him back.

"Something's going on with you, Zenon. It seems like you're not as interested in this as the others." Yuno said.

"That's really none of your business." Zenon said as he was able to get free.

"I always did think you weren't like your other two siblings, not that it matters. You're going down either way." Yuno claimed. He tried blasting Zenon with his wind magic, but Zenon jumped right over his attack and fired his own at Yuno with Yuno getting blasted. While they were all fighting, the dark power was getting stronger. Asta tried getting to it, but Zagred was holding him back as he tried to pin Asta's weapon down.

"I've got to get to that circle. Move it!" Asta yelled as he raised his sword and got himself free. He gave Zagred a powerful slash and went directly for the circle. He tried to make it in time before it activates.

"No you don't!" Zagred claimed as he smashed his claw against the ground. Spikes shot out of the ground and smashed against Asta. It stopped him and allowed the circle to activate. The sun and moon were in perfect alignment with the planet. When that happened, dark power shot straight out of the ground. A pillar of darkness reached for the sky and spread dark power everywhere.

"Perfect! Zagred, whatever you had planned is about to happen!" Dante cheered as he couldn't wait to see what happens. However, something happened to him. Dante appeared to be in pain like something was trying to burst out of him. He wasn't the only one either. The same thing was happening to Vanica and Dante. "What's happening?"

"You fools!" Zagred said. "Did you really think I would help you humans?"

"What have you done?" Dante questioned as he could tell they've been double-crossed.

"Why should we devil share our power with you humans when you are beneath us?!" Zagred questioned. "You've done well so far. The chaos and fear you've spread has allowed the gates to open wider and wider that a devil of my caliber could get through, but now it's time for the true devils to appear in this world. They're great power prevented them from leaving the Netherworld, but you three bonded yourselves to them. Now the time has come for them to enter this world. You three were nothing more than bridges for the true lords!"

"You can't do this to us!" Dante called before the power overtook him. Dante couldn't handle it with him actually meeting his demise and something else took his place. A new devil stood where he was with wrinkled skin, spikes on his elbows, four wings, four curving horns, long white hair, and a dark cloth around his waist.

"Welcome, Lord Lucifero!" Zagred greeted.

...

Vanica

The same thing was happening to Vanica. Noelle backed away from her as Vancia met the same fate as her brother with Noelle being blown back. In Vanica's place was a new monster. He had two sets of horns on his head with three eyes with flowing grey hair. He also had an appearance of tentacles and tendrils covering his body. He did have black claws and legs coming out with wings.

"What just happened?" Noelle questioned as she didn't understand. The devil just chuckled before he flew up to the sky.

...

The Fight

Zenon was about to meet the same fate as both of his siblings. Yuno wasn't going to let that happen. Even if he was the enemy, he wasn't going to let him be destroyed like that. Just as Zenon was about to explode, Yuno tackled him and was actually able to save him. Zenon was knocked out of his armored form, but something else was standing in where he was.

"What happened? I didn't think, just acted." Yuno said.

"Looks like you pulled me out just before something stepped in the way." Zenon said. The new devil had four horns as well, two that point up and two that curve out with wings. He had pale blonde hair that split into strands in the back. He wore all black with a leather jacket and fur around the collar. The two devils stood together. The third devil flew down and stood with them.

"Who are they?" Vanessa questioned.

"I don't know, but I'm getting a bad feeling." Luck said as they could all feel a dreadful feeling coming over them.

"Bad? I feel like despair is washing over us and they're the ones radiating it." Finral said.

"Lord Lucifero! Lord Beelze! Lord Megicula! I welcome you to this world!" Zagred greeted as he was the only one that was happy to see them. The Dark Triad might be no more after this, but something more terrifying and more powerful has entered the human world.

"This can't be." Asta said. Suddenly, something Asta felt something come over him. He felt pain coursing through his body. Asta couldn't handle it and he actually passed out.

"Asta!" Yuno called with all of them noticing he was out of commission. What is happening to Asta? How are the rangers going to be able to handle this new kind of threat?
