{BGM: "Sea of Fire OrCH" by Hiroyuki Sawano and Eliana}
The torrent of energy became a sphere which was becoming smaller, hence a pair of dark wings with blue edges manifest, making her look like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.
The energy sphere dissipated showing Kristen with a new gear; Trishula's original colors changed to a black and blue color palette, her hair was now spiky and its ends are now bright blue, a pair of extensions of hair appeared on the sides. Her eyes shine with a bright blue energy and a large black shadow covered half of her face emphasizing the brightness of her eyes.
Some steam was coming out of her mouth and her voice was similar to the voice of a demon that had been freed from its chains and was ready to take its revenge.
Anath was intrigued by Kristen's new form, in her long existence she never believed she had seen anything like it, let alone from the human race.
At the headquarters, Elfnein and the other operators were trying to find an explanation for what they had just seen while Yuna was with her hand pressed to her chest, grabbing her sun pin and her face full of terror at seeing her little sister in such a horrible state.
"Tell me, what are you?" - Anath asked as if nothing was happening
EP12: "Our Will"
In the battle of the legendary users against the creatures that threatened to end humanity, the girls almost had the problem under control thanks to the idea provided by Chris.
Tsubasa used her swords to destroy the creatures that were already weakened.
"It seems that there are no enemies around here, Tachibana?" - Tsubasa sees Hibiki who has a special interest and concern for what happens on the battlefield with Kristen.
Meanwhile, Maria was looking for a way to get to Katsumi, who was quite far away but at the same time she was watching what was happening on the battlefield.
"The bonds that have connected Kristen and Katsumi were so powerful that the pain of one became the anger and strength of the other… The Moon saw how her Sun suddenly stopped shining..." - Maria thought when she saw her in that state
Kristen in her new form looked at Anath with an enormous anger but the deity did not care what that look meant and that steam that came out of her mouth with each breath.
"Anyway" - Anath invokes her sword Tyrfing again - "This time I will not hold myself back"
Kristen makes a movement imperceptible to the human eye and throws her first blow at Anath in the belly causing her to drop her sword.
The blow generated a large wave back from Anath which kicked up quite a bit of dust.
Anath leaned back holding her belly in pain, then began to spit blood.
"Gagh, so this is what human pain feels like... But luckily I don't-" - Anath kept thinking to herself when Kristen suddenly appears in front of Anath and with a double twist she delivered a powerful kick to the face which had it not been for the additional resistance provided by Anath's divine power would have already broken Jean's neck.
Kristen jumps back to make her next attack, in a quick movement Anath takes her Tyrfing sword and executes an attack against Kristen but it was stopped by Kristen's right hand and compacted with both hands without any effort.
Anath is surprised at what Kristen had just done.
"I doubt this body can handle more damage..." - thought Anath
At that moment Kristen threw herself at Anath and dealt a double blow with her right fist which sent her back several meters, then Anath threw several threads of red energy which Kristen easily dodged.
Kristen manages to get close to Anath and gives her another couple of punches, desperate Anath launches a torrent of red energy against Kristen who manages to avoid it.
Kristen manages to get closer to Anath and both begin to throw blows at each other, Kristen's blows included all the anger accumulated by the previous attack to Katsumi, Anath sometimes managed to protect herself but that defense was minimal.
Anath and Kristen collide their fists causing a smash on the surface of the battlefield.
"This body won't last too long... This human is dangerous" - Anath thought as she backed away
A small amount of lava begins to come out of the ground, which after a few seconds explodes right where Kristen was.
"Kristen!" - Hibiki shouted when she saw the lava explosion
From the lava explosion, a human silhouette appears walking towards Anath, then part of the lava dissipates showing Kristen surrounded by a blue sphere which protected her.
"Tch, you are a monster!" - Anath said angrily
Kristen throws herself at Anath again as if she were a high-speed train, this time three metal claws appear from her wristbands and she uses them to attack Anath.
Anath invokes Tyrfing again and defends herself thus starting a clash between the two weapons.
Meanwhile Tsubasa had contacted the army through a channel created by Elfnein to bring in personnel and resources to stop the advance of the lava which threatened to engulf the city.
Within minutes of the call, several helicopters appeared carrying with them a vast amount of dry ice which can freeze lava if applied in big amounts.
At the same time in the foundations of the gigantic tree, Katsumi moved the fingers of her right hand a little.
"Again... And in the same place" - Katsumi said with a weak voice
Maria arrives at the place where Katsumi is and notices that she had already woken up.
"Mo... Mom?" - Katsumi asked seeing a silhouette above her.
When her vision clears a bit, she realizes that the person who was looking at her was actually Maria.
"Master Maria..." - Katsumi said recognizing her
Then Maria proceeded to hug her as if she were her own daughter.
"I thought I had lost you..." - Maria said almost sobbing
"Ouch, my back hurts a little" - Katsumi said while being hugged by Maria
"Oh, I'm sorry" - Maria said, stopping hugging her
"By the way, where is Kristen?" - Katsumi asked
Maria only pointed to the place where the battle was taking place at high speed.
"She got like that after Anath attacked you, looks like she believed she had murdered you" - answered Maria
"I see..." - Katsumi replied
"Her way of fighting and her power changed impressively, it's as if she wanted to take revenge with her own hands..." - Katsumi thought
At that time Kristen continued to fight Anath in that clash of weapons, in an oversight by Anath, Kristen takes her by the neck and as if it were a meteor throws her to the ground without releasing her, then slowly takes her up while squeezing her neck.
In the other hand she prepares her claws to pierce Anath's head as they begin to rotate producing some rays of blue as if it were a large drill.
Katsumi sees her actions and is alarmed.
"Master! We have to stop her! She is about to commit an atrocity!" - Katsumi warned but when she tried to move her back, she did not allow it.
Maria contacted Hibiki through the communicator.
"I'm... I'm going to kill you" - Kristen said with a deep voice accompanied by a thick background voice.
"You have an idea what you're about to do, right?" - Anath said trying to breath
Kristen didn't answer
"You are about to assassinate the person you swore to save" - Anath replied - "Actually you will not kill me because I can return and take another body but you will end Jean's life"
Kristen's eyes began to tremble with doubt.
"Think about it..." - Anath said, about to lose her breath completely.
Kristen shook her head and was about to launch the attack at Anath's head when suddenly a huge rocket fist hits her, making her drop Anath.
Kristen and Anath fall relatively close.
"Hey Kristen, I don't remember teaching you how to do such atrocious things!" - Hibiki said approaching the place
Inside Anath's body, Anath was beginning to lose control of Jean's body.
"Even though it only hit that human, I also received a lot of damage, I no longer have the strength to maintain control of this body..." - With that said, a torrent of red energy left the body of Jean forming the true appearance of Anath which consisted of a black body with red hair combed in a ponytail and with several green markings.
Kristen slowly regained consciousness and her UV form was disappearing.
"What have I done?" - the Trishula user wondered - "I almost committed an unforgivable act..." - She said with her face lowered as a sign of regret
At that moment a hand touched her shoulder, turning around she was surprised to find Katsumi.
"Kat!" - Kristen threw herself to hug her - "I'm glad to see you're okay!"
Jean was unconscious but carefully her gear had not yet disappeared, inside her mind she was having a dream in a quiet place.
"I wish I could apologize to them... Because of me, because of my selfishness they..." - Jean was about to cry when the souls of Lara and Lucy appear in the place.
"Jean, you can still do the right thing" - Lara mentioned attracting his attention
"Yes" - Lucy added with a smile
"Forgive me girls, I never thought that my hatred would end up like this... We will not be able to fulfill our desire to find a home" - Jean said with her face down
"You really think that?" - Lara said, calling Jean's attention
At that moment the place of the dream was fragmented and, on the battlefield, Jean woke up, now her eyes were a beautiful emerald color and her gaze no longer denoted hatred.
The core of her gear began to crack and glow white with red edges.
"Eh? What's happening!?" asked Anath
The core of Jean's gear breaks, revealing an entirely new relic.
In the Elfnein barracks, she gazed in wonder at that phenomenon she called "Quantum Evolution."
Gear Tyrfing had changed to Angervadil, whose origin is the same but its purpose was different.
Everyone witnessed this phenomenon with great surprise, it was the first time that such an event occurred.
After a moment, the light disappeared revealing the new appearance of Jean now wearing Angervadil, an outfit with a range of green, black and white colors.
"Enough nonsense! I will kill the humans here and now!" - Anath shouted as she held a powerful sphere of red energy which had the power of many suns.
Katsumi quickly summoned her gear to rejoin the battle despite her previous pains.
"DISAPPEAR!" - Anath launched that attack against the Jean but Kristen and Katsumi were stopping it from touching her
"We will not allow it! First you must go over our dead bodies!" - Kristen yelled as she stopped the attack with her hands
"I won't let you get away with it! There are things and people that are very important to me that I must protect!" - Katsumi added
The force of the attack was pushing them back, but additional help had arrived and had pushed the attack back a bit.
"Jean!" - Kristen and Katsumi said when they realized who was helping them
"I can still do the right thing and I won't waste this opportunity!" - Jean said with determination
Anath powered up her attack with several additional charges of energy which knocked the three users back.
"No... We can't lose!" - Kristen said while continuing to resist
"Let's use our last spark of power" - said Lucy inside the minds of the two girls
The bodies of the girls were surrounded by green energy with sparks of various colors.
"Okay, LET'S DO THIS!" - Kristen said
"Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal… Emustolronzen Finé el balal zizzl" - sang the three gear users
Everyone in the world was expectant. In Valverde Chris watched the sky while she saw green lights flow in various directions, then she smiled.
"Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal… Emustolronzen Finé el zizzl"
A white glow began to swallow Anath's attack as the color of the sky changed to a range of blue colors as several green lights came together in a swirl, then the luminous swirl hits the white light and both start fading, revealing the three girls.
{Ending: "DAYBREAKERS" by Nana Mizuki}
Kristen now had long beautiful shiny reddish hair which showed a star pattern, it seemed like the whole galaxy had come together there, her outfit was now more minimalist with a range of blue, gray and white colors, in the outfit too the stars could be seen, her gaze denoted serenity but at the same time justice, the color of her eyes was a brilliant green.
Katsumi now had beautiful golden hair in which the stars could also be seen, her gear changed to a completely golden and white pallet in which the stars could also be seen.
Jean had bright green hair with its respective star pattern, her gear now had various extensions and her colors were now green and silver.
The three girls spread their bright wings which looked like flower petals in full bloom.
"Unbreakable wills, fervent desires and a great sense of justice, all these components have unleashed this great miracle... Ultimate X-Drive!" - Elfnein said as she watched the girls on the big screen of the headquarters.
