S2 Chapter 34: Yamai Clash, Part 3
By : Tohka_Yatogami
...
Summary
Even a similar story can take it's own path. Shido and Mana are amnesiac siblings living with their friend Kotori, however the past catches up to Shido when he nearly runs into a space quake, and his world changes as one girl asks... "Are you here to kill me?" (Stronger Ratatoskr, weaker DEM, games & movie are canon to story) [Shido/Tohka/Harem]
Surprise everyone! As my own gift to everyone for this being my birthday, I've made a double chapter post for you all to enjoy! ^^
This is it everyone! The Yamai arc has finally reached its final chapter, and we're going to the Inverse Yamai twins clash, the Fraxinus Ex vs the Arbitel Neo, the fight between Origami and Chinami who's the Old Timeline Origami in design and in a sense, is making Origami face herself, we'll see the Einherjar units in action, and after an entire season since their last battle... Tohka and Ellen are going to be crossing blades once again!
This time however, Ellen's got a stronger CR-Unit, Tohka's not in her Inverse Form, and Shido's not there to aid her... Tohka's situation doesn't look good right now 0_0 *gulps* Luckily for Tohka though, Ellen doesn't know that Tohka can now use Earth powers so at least Tohka has some new tricks to give her an edge in this fight against her.
Everyone, the others will likely be fine, but Tohka's facing an opponent she wasn't able to truly beat while Inverted despite she technically managed to challenge Ellen... because Westcott admitted she might have been a bit rusty at the time. Small story short. This time, Ellen's not only using a stronger CR-Unit, she's not rusty anymore. Tohka's facing what Ellen wasn't during their first fight, at full strength, so cheer her on to somehow pull out a victory!
Now, let's get this chapter started! This storm's winds are finally going to blow away and I'm the writer who's gonna part the clouds! *blinks* ...Yeah, that pun might need some more work ^^;
"KAGUYA! YUZURU! PLEASE... STOP THIS!" Tohka screamed, but soon the wind blew her away like it did Shido, but not as far or in the same direction. Once she landed she weakly got up. "I... I have to find Shido. If we want to stop this and save them both, he needs to seal them."
Suddenly her eyes widen and she rolled as an energy slash barely missed her.
"Well, it looks like you saved me the trouble of finding you... [Princess], how long has it been since our last battle?"
Tohka gasped as she saw a familiar wizard wearing gold and white armor, even if the CR-Unit was different... the untied light blonde hair and purple eyes and a somewhat bloodthirsty aura emitting from her body? There was only one being Tohka knew had this.
"...Ellen." Tohka gasped.
"Time for me to get the revenge I've been waiting a long time to cash in, it's put up or shut up time!" Ellen declared, closing her hand in a challenging manner. Tohka stared at the situation before her and how bad it was.
The Yamai twins were inverted and fighting in a crazed manner from the influence, Shido had been sent flying somewhere, and worse of all is how she had to fight against none other than Ellen, DEM's Adeptus 1 and their strongest wizard. The worst part...
...This time, she had to fight her alone.
'Last time I fought her I wasn't able to beat her even while in my Inverse, especially once she locked me in her territory. It was Shido that stopped her in the end. Is it even possible for me to win against her?' Tohka thought, a drop of sweat trickling down her left cheek. Ellen got slightly annoyed by her inaction.
"Are you really just gonna stand there? Sorry, but I'm afraid you don't get that choice. Show her what I mean Einherjar units!" Ellen shouted, and suddenly Tohka gasps as she sees red lights appear form shadowed figures, looking a lot like Bandersnatch units. "Take her down!"
Tohka grit her teeth, knowing she didn't have a choice.
"Adonai Melek! Sandalphon!"
Tohka's princess ballgown shaped armor formed as she swung her Angel against the automatons, but only managed to slash against a territory to her surprise. She landed back on the ground as she looked at the now unveiled DEM automatons.
While they did look a lot like the Bandersnatch units, what made them unlike the automatons of that name she had come to know is that they were slightly bigger and their armor was a more platinum color and even seemed translucent as if made with crystal.
On the palms of their claws and some slots of their armor were areas clearly made for blasters, and said claws seemed retracted as if they had a form where they extended and became another weapon entirely, probably a sword or even a spear.
Six small spheres, name two Ashcroft Alpha devices, two Ashcroft Beta devices, and two of the incomplete but usable Ashcroft Gamma devices were attached. Tohka assumed they were likely what had formed the barriers she just slashed moments prior.
Most of all they had their armor shift between their ground and air forms, meaning they transformed for a different form, or another reason like a type of battle variation. Needless to say, these were basically elite and much stronger versions of the Bandersnatch, and probably even more dangerous.
"These things... I have a bad feeling, it's like they're an overpowered version of what I've fought so far." Tohka sweated, looking at them and then Ellen again. "Just like what I feel with you. You're trying to bait me, and I'm not falling for it!"
"Hmm... I'm impressed, you've actually learned a bit on battle strategy. You've grown a bit since you changed back from your form as [Sovereign], but I think you know that you can't beat me while you're still [Princess]." Ellen smirked, grabbing her sword. "Why don't you do yourself a favor and just give me your Sephira Crystal right now."
Tohka gets into a defensive position.
"So, you're actually going to try and fight me? Good, that's what I actually wanted. Einherjar, stay back and let me handle this, only I get to cut this Spirit. Go help the other units take out the others." Ellen ordered, making Tohka gasp at that claim as Ellen fully draws her new weapon, the Caliburn.
"If you wanna help them, then just beat me. We both know that won't happen though."
Tohka grunted as the Einherjar all took off and fled, she gripped Sandalphon tightly before throwing all doubt to the side and preparing herself to fight.
"Bring it on!" Tohka shouted, rushing forward at Ellen and preparing to swing down, Ellen simply help up Caliburn to block... but to her surprise, the way Tohka thrusted her sword caused her to skid back a bit.
"Actual skill with a sword? It seems you didn't just improve your strategies, and I was worried you'd be unable to entertain me without your Inversion." Ellen replied, soon making her bloodthirsty face as Tohka realized she was about to go all out. "Then let's truly fight to the death!"
Tohka suddenly saw Ellen rush at her at inhuman speeds as she barely held up Sandalphon to block the attack... only for Ellen's Caliburn to shatter it to pieces to her horror as Ellen gave a cruel smirk.
"What a disappointment, time to end this!"
Tohka fell back as Ellen prepare to slash Caliburn at her defenseless form.
The Arbitel fired a beam at the Fraxinus, and the Ratatoskr's ace ship formed a territory to defend against it, though the entire ship shook from the recoil of the blast and everyone on it nearly fell from their seats.
"Mikimoto, Nakatsugawa, give me damage report ASAP!" Maria begged.
"Port side territory has been reduced by 5 percent!" Mikimoto reported.
"Minimal damage to the fleet! Though going by these readings, it's clear the Arbitel's gained an upgrade on the same volume as our own!" Nakatsugawa replied. Maria breathed, soon crossing her arms.
"Alright, then time to hold nothing back! Minowa, disable all non-combat, mobility and crucial functions until further notice! Scan for next attack wavelengths!" Maria ordered, making Minowa gasp as she started the scans. "Got something already? Status report!"
"It's heat waves, a second attack's coming!" Minowa shouted, and everyone began typing.
Maria cracked her knuckles a bit.
"Marina's honestly trying to destroy this ship so she can kill me, well time to strike back!" Maria exclaimed, moving her hands out as she linked into the ship systems and assumed the Fraxinus' battle functions. "Kannazuki, you're my co-pilot for any battle functions, standby till I give the order!"
"Loud and clear." Kannazuki stated, putting on his usual headset.
"OK, here goes! Protect territory activate, executing manual positioning! Location 1 O'clock! Range Coordinates X-132, Y-50, Z-39! Deploy at range 255 to 246!
The Arbitel fires its next shot, this time a magic circle shaped territory forms and takes the attack, negating all possible damage.
"The enemy ship is reading no damage!" James reported, making Marina growl. "What do you want us to do, it seems they're not letting us push them over this time."
"Give me full access to the system, everyone aid auxiliary support on my command. It's obvious their AI's taking over and we'll just fight fire with inverse fire!" Marina ordered, causing everyone to nod as she saw James grant her full access to the systems.
"Activate all Ashcroft Alpha devices and Ashcroft Beta devices 1-25! Make no change to the Ashcroft Gamma devices!"
Shiizaki notices the lights on the Arbitel glow brighter.
"Maria, the Arbitel's magical power is amplifying!" Shiizaki replied, making Maria sweat laser fluid.
"Dang it, how can we... wait, protect territory is focused and strengthened at a specific location. If I can pinpoint the exact spot they'll fire I might be able to keep us safe. Everyone, keep an eye out in case anything else threatens to attack the ship, I'm taking a gamble! Oh, an Shiizaki? Contact Chairman Elliot, ask if it is ready for use yet."
Shiizaki gasped before nodding.
"Right, attempting contact now." Shiizaki replied, initiating the call.
"OK, specifying range in the same direction! 5-0-6-9!" Maria replied, making the others gasp at that narrow range. "I get its far too narrow, but trust me!"
Soon the Arbitel fires an even stronger blast as the protect territory forms, and while a bit shaky at first, once again no damage is taken from the blast.
"Incredible, we actually blocked it!" Minowa gasped.
"And it was so much more powerful, she had to make the range so narrow just to defend against it. This upgraded Arbitel may be as bad as a threat as it was when we faced its original form 12 years ago." Kawagoe sweated, noticing how much Maria was sweating. "Oh, Shiizaki! The signal made it through!"
Shiizaki notices and manages to pull up a screen showing Elliot.
"Elliot here, what's the problem?" Elliot asked.
"Sir, we're under attack! We're barely holding out against an upgraded Arbitel. We need to know... is it ready to be used yet?" Shiizaki asked.
"Hmm... it should, but we haven't tested it yet. Let Maria decide if it's the right call to use it." Elliot replied, soon the connection was cut off, making Shiizaki look at Maria who thought for a bit.
"...No choice, at this rate its either 100% chance of death or less than 100%, and I'd prefer the later. Alright then." Maria replied, soon breathing. "Everyone, activate... the Ashcroft Delta devices!"
Yoshino found herself being charged by a group of Einherjar, and soon she slams the ground.
"El! Zadkiel!"
Yoshino's Astral Dress formed as Zadkiel formed from the ground and pushed the Einherjar units back, they all quickly regroup as their arm shifted and they rushed at Yoshino even faster.
"Freeze!" Yoshino shouted, blasting them all and freezing them in their territories... only for all of their Ashcroft devices to glow and give them the strength to shatter out of them. "What? No way, territories should freeze from my powers."
Yoshino's eyes widened and Zadkiel took a defensive position as they all jumped and shifted their claws into spear-like swords to attack her.
Natsumi held up Haniel as some of the Einherjar rushed at her and slashed down with their claws, she spun around and knocked them away before holding Haniel out.
"KALEIDOSCOPE - SANDALPHON!"
Haniel morphs into a copy of Sandalphon, but with Natsumi and Haniel's color scheme instead. She slashes at the Einherjar units before her, only to clash with their barriers.
"What? They have territories, and ones this strong?" Natsumi gasped, jumping back as some dogpiled at her. "Shit! This is bad, my bond with Shido's still too low, I can't draw enough power to break through their defense!"
Natsumi sweated as the Einherjar around her in circles and prepared a simultaneous jump strike, making Natsumi shift her feet to defend herself again.
Kotori yells as she swings down on the Einherjar units, smashing into their territories but barely leaving any damage to them.
"What? No way, I can usually smash through these no problem!" Kotori gasped, the Einherjar all rush at her claws out before jumping and changing them into their Spear-Sword forms. "Crap!"
Kotori smashed Camael onto the ground, making it erupt in flames and make the Einherjar stop in place. When the flames vanished, Kotori was seen holding the Megiddo.
"Say hello to my little friend! MEGIDDO!" Kotori exclaimed, blasting out the beam of fire from her cannon and hoping it would melt through the Einherjar. "Yeah, take that-"
Suddenly the Einherjar grouped together and instead of making a territory barrier around their entire bodies, focuses in the front as a group. Their combined barrier completely blocked the Megiddo's entire blast to Kotori's shock.
"No... that's impossible!" Kotori gasped.
The Einherjar all rush at her again, Kotori changing Camael back into an axe as they neared her.
Kurumi suddenly saw an Einherjar rush at her from behind and she cartwheeled out of the way, soon panting a bit.
"Holy crap, those don't look like Bandersnatch to me, they look much worse." Kurumi breathed, soon getting back on her feet fully and putting her hands together. "Elohim! Zafkiel!"
Kurumi's astral dress appears before she crossed her arms as her twin guns manifest, and soon she crossed her arms in a horizontal manner before twirling.
"And now Nibellcole!" Kurumi declared, soon Kurumi's shadow extended out as Kinshu, Shincho, Masayoshi and Yuuki all manifested. "OK girls, we're dealing with some new automaton type and it looks to be a more dangerous version of a Bandersnatch."
"You got it Kurumi, let's do it!" Yuuki smiled, grabbing her Zafkiel copy as the others all did the same. The Einherjar all rushed at them while Kurumi and her clones all jumped away and fired at them.
Origami dodged left and right as Chinami rushed and slashed Arondight with her with a clear murderous intent, Origami moved Metatron's pillars to defend, trying to get an occasional blast in with little success.
"So strong..." Origami grunted, being pushed back by the recoil of Chinami's most recent attack. The violently Adeptus 3 wizard soon swung her sword down on origami who was able to barely defend with her mana barrier. "Yet... why is she so violent with her attacks?"
"Shut up monster, you have no right to talk like your part of this world!" Chinami screamed, slashing at Origami again and piercing her mana barrier as she tumbled across the ground. She weakly got up as Chinami walked at her. "I'll finally get to avenge my parents for your murder of them!"
Origami's eyes widened.
"You lost your parents to a past Spirit? Look, it wasn't their fault, the Spirits don't-" Origami tried to explain, but Chinami slashed at her, and Origami was tossed back as she held her arm.
"Shut up, you think you can justify they did it by accident? Wrong, I saw the whole thing myself! It was on purpose, and that innocent face was the trap they walked right into before I watched her murder them." Chinami declared, gripping her sword tighter.
"5 years ago, my birth parents died of an illness, and my aunt and uncle offered to adopt me and have me live with them and my younger sister. However, the day I got there, tragedy met me when... the Tenguu Fire broke out across the city."
Origami's eyes suddenly widened at that, horror filing her face.
"I ran through it trying to find them, but when I did... the sight of a white haired Spirit smiling at them before she burned them to a crisp was what I saw! That was you, the Spirit made me promise to make you all pay!"
Origami shook at that, and suddenly this girl before her? She noticed the similarities of their faces.
"...You were the one they talked about, weren't you?" Origami said shakily, getting Chinami's attention as she raised her eyebrow.
"What nonsense is this? You're just a murderous monster, don't act like they-"
"Yes, I'm that Spirit, but those two people I killed... they were my parents!" Origami cried, making Chinami suddenly freeze and stare at her. He eyes widen as she suddenly realized the one who would have been her adoptive sister. "My name is Origami Tobiichi, and even if by accident... my powers killed my parents!"
Chinami's stare turned dark, staring at the Spirit known as [Angel]... and the girl who was her cousin Origami Tobiichi. In most cases, you'd expect the attacker to stand down and realize what they've done and things would work out.
For Chinami however? She didn't see her cousin, she saw the monster she was turned into, and swung her sword again as Origami barely dodged it. She turned to see the cold, dark and to a degree somewhat insane look on Chinami's face.
"...So, you've turned into one of the monsters harming this world, my cousin died the day she became you. I guess that means cutting my hair to honor still works. Don't worry, I'll kill you so she can finally rest in peace!" Chinami roared, thrusting Arondight at Origami before Metatron fired at the DEM wizard to protect Origami.
"No... Chinami, why? Why are you so incredibly hateful? Why did it turn out this way, why?" Origami asked, her eyes tearing up as it was clear her cousin would forever view her as an enemy rather than her family.
Chinami soon rushed out, and prepared to deal a fatal blow to Origami... only for all of Metatron's pillars to fly up close and fire beams at point blank range. Chinami gasped as the shots fired and blasted her away, sending her flying.
"Damn you, this isn't over [Angel]! One day in the future, I will kill you, just you wait!" Chinami screamed, soon landing in the ocean.
Origami stared at where she had shot Chinami off towards, staring as her cousin... no, her enemy's last words rung through her head. She tightened her fist and grit her teeth in sorrow and anger.
"She was right... we're not family anymore, because she's fallen too far into her pain to turn back." Origami stated to herself, breathing heavily. "Westcott... Just how many lives has your so-called dream ruined!?"
Suddenly Origami felt herself get shot from the side, she gasped as she turned and saw a group of Einherjar fire at her.
"No, I can't..." Origami said, blacking out before she could hear the sound of metal being shred apart.
Meanwhile high in the skies, Kaguya and Yuzuru's clash kept intensifying as waterspouts began to form on the ocean, with signs of tornadoes on the land getting closer to fruition with every second.
"SIMURGH!" Kaguya shouted as Sathariel opened up and turned into a cannon, charging an incredibly hot chamber of wind inside it. "I'm not giving anything up to you, if one of us has to go it's gonna be you!"
Kaguya thrust Sathariel forward, blasting the sweltering winds inside out like a blade of air. Yuzuru swung Ghagiel and created a gale of cold wind to counter it.
"AMMUT!" Yuzuru shouted, spinning Ghagiel's chain until it morphed into a chakram and cold winds condensed into blades. "Neither will I! This force has gone on long enough, this lie about caring for each, I'll shatter it by ending you!"
Yuzuru tosses the chakram and Kaguya uses Simurgh to block it, but upon cutting it the cannon's body froze before Kaguya smashed it and reformed it as Sathariel's lance and then throwing it like a drill to shatter the chakram. As Yuzuru reformed Ghagiel's chain, the two fly and crash into each other once again.
Maria activated a certain command code on the Fraxinus as the Arbitel prepared its next shot, Marina smirked as she focused to a certain area on the Fraxinus' haul where she was sure their territory barrier wouldn't work the way they wanted.
"Alright, this is it! Activate all Ashcroft Beta devices and Ashcroft Gamma devices, spike them and the Ashcroft Alpha devices to maximum power!" Marina declared, the crew responding as the Arbitel prepared a blast at full power.
"There's no way they'll survive this one." James smirked.
Soon Kannazuki gets the readings.
"Maria, better hurry up or we're dead!" Kannazuki warned, making Maria nod and soon...
"Yes, success! Restore all disabled functions and link the Ashcroft Deltas throughout the whole ship! Form the protect territory!" Maria shouted.
Soon the Fraxinus made a normal territory barrier again, and to the Arbitel crew's surprise it was enough to block the attack.
"What!? That's not possible, they weakened their barrier and we shot at our strongest, how'd it fail!?" Marina demanded, soon noticing the Arbitel detect an unknown device in the Fraxinus' frame. "Wait, culminate and estimate the unknown readings through available cross referencing!"
Marina looked at the data and soon recognized they were devices using studies on Artemisia's territory but with specs that made the Ashcroft Gamma devices look like prototypes in comparison.
"No way, they made their own Ashcroft devices!? Hey wait... oh shit, the Arubi Island base had notes on the Ashcroft Gamma and Artemisia's with them again! We let them steal our technology again!" Marina growled, soon having her eyes glow. "Alright, then we'll just have to wreck it with the power of all three types we possess!"
The Fraxinus soon charged a blast to Marina's surprise.
"Firing the Mystletainn!" Maria ordered.
The Fraxinus fired out its ultimate weapon from all three of its main cannons, the beams turning a light green color from magic power produced by the Ashcroft Delta devices. The resulting blast smashed the Arbitel's territory barrier apart and shook the entire ship as the defenseless haul took the full shot.
"Damn them, we can't defend with a spread territory! Marina, let's end this the old-fashioned way with good old violence!" James growled.
Marina smirked at that before she dove further into the Arbitel's systems and had her Astral Dress stretch out and link into parts of the internal systems. Soon she rose back up as the Arbitel's glow changed to a purple glow, representing black light.
"Shave off the enemy ship's territory directly, ram them to smithereens!" Marina shouted, and the Arbitel flew at the Fraxinus with incredible speed.
"Oh no, the enemy's going for us directly! The Arbitel's too big for the Fraxinus to survive a direct collision!" Kawagoe shouted, started to panic slightly. "What should we do!?"
Maria looked worried until she noticed a certain Spirit's location.
"Guys, I'm pulling off a worse gamble but it may be the only way we'll survive this. Kannazuki, you and I need to regulate our territory barrier for as long as possible! We have to put our faith into something that has a small chance of happening!" Maria replied, making Kannazuki nod.
"You heard her everyone! Activate the advanced realizers with parallel driving force, bring all power to protect territory! Move the Yggdrafoliums to scatter the ship's haul and focus everything to a core point!" Kannazuki exclaimed, and everyone did so. "Let's hope luck smiles on us."
Everyone completed their tasks.
"Maria, be honest... how likely is our survival rate?" Shiizaki asked.
"...10%, but it's better than none at all so I guess that's why this is a gamble!" Maria admitted, making everyone sweat worried.
The Fraxinus soon rushed at the Arbitel as its own territory barrier formed.
"Enemy ship's territory output rising!" One of the Arbitel crew reported, turning to Captain James. "It'll come into contact in 15 seconds!"
"Those idiots are relying on luck now, they can't ambush the Arbitel!" James smirked.
Soon the two ships were about to strike one another.
"Deploying the territory range, condensing the entire attack to the point of contact!" Marina commanded.
Soon both ships focused their territories to their fronts, and soon they crashed into each other making both ships shake heavily from the force, and unfortunately... the Fraxinus was losing.
"Territory output at 87%! ...81%! ...72%!" Minowa reported, noticing their numbers dropping fast.
"Heh! They've lost, we might be even in our territory output, but the Arbitel's too massive so our physical force is stronger." Marina smirked, laughing at the result. "Yes, we've won! Victory is ours!"
Maria sweats, looking towards Tohka's location.
'Come on Tohka... if you don't notice us soon we're dead. Please, you're our final hope!' Maria thought, focusing the best she could to delay the territory output's reduction.
Tohka stared as the Caliburn neared her, about to slash into her... only for her eyes to widen as she stomped the ground. Ellen's eyes suddenly shrunk as a slab of stone shot out of the ground and smacked right into Ellen's gut. She was knocked back as Tohka quickly reformed Sandalphon.
[Seriously master, that was crazy! If I had a heart I'd have just had a heart attack!]
"S-Sorry!" Tohka sweat dropped, Ellen coughs as she regained her bearings. "Glad I remembered I could do this at the last moment, gotta remember these new powers more often so I can avoid these situations."
"Earth powers? You've never shown these before, were you mocking me before by not using them?" Ellen asked annoyed.
"No, I guess sometimes you don't know what you can really do." Tohka answered, readying Sandalphon again. "But that also means you don't know some of what I can do, guess it's not as easy as you thought it would be!"
Ellen growled as Tohka playfully smirked, causing her to swing Caliburn back as it opened to reveal a tip like a spear, reminding Tohka of her former Rhongomiant spear/cannon once she saw it. Ellen gave a dark look as she held it back out.
"You haven't seen what the Arthur or Caliburn can do yet, and I intend to make your demise prolonged and painful!" Ellen smirked darkly, rushing at Tohka once more. "Now die [Princess]!"
"Not today, and not ever!" Tohka screamed, swinging Sandalphon and causing a sandstorm to blind Ellen.
'Damn, not just rock but sand!?' Ellen thought, soon feeling crystals pelt her from all directions. 'And now crystal? Damn it, she really is just mocking me now! If that's how she wants to play, then I'll give her a taste of the ultimate public humiliation!'
Ellen swung Caliburn down, and it fired a beam out as she did, cutting the sand twister and managing to hit Tohka dead center, flinging her back and causing her to tumble a bit before she got back on her feet.
"This farce needs to end, its time I kill you now!" Ellen declared, swinging Caliburn down and causing an energy wave to rip through the ground at Tohka. Time slowed through Tohka's mind as she saw it coming.
'What do I do!? Every new trick I had, my new sword skills, my earth based abilities... she barely needed any time to overcome and counter them! Am I really just fighting a losing battle!?' Tohka thought, her worries about never being able to help surfacing. 'It's just like before, nothing's changed! Nothing's-'
"Don't let the stress and fear overtake you." Kotori's voice echoed out.
Tohka gasped.
'Wait, that was... it was one of the things that Kotori taught me. She's right, and I can't give up. The moment I do is when defeat's guaranteed, and I may lose the chance for a victory! Come on... remember, remember what everyone taught you!'
"Believe in your Angel, believe in your power, and believe in yourself!" Origami's voice echoed.
"You summon Sandalphon forth with your desire Tohka, it bonds with you is why it answers your call and only you have the power to wield it." Yoshino's voice echoed.
"When you summon forth your power, calm your heart and still your mind. Focus on that desire and let everything else go, then let that wish come to the forefront of your senses. Treat it like nothing else matters, just that one single moment before you." Natsumi's voice echoed.
"Picture what you want, then yearn for it in the depths of your heart and then give your Angel all of it. Trust it and their power will be by your side. TO put it another way, your emotions, your will, your dreams... everything that makes you who you are, the person the Angel chose to bond with. You are the Angel's power, it's not a conduit to use your power, it's an extension of the power that's always been in you!" Kurumi's voice echoed.
Tohka's breathes and focuses, the still slowed sight of the attack aiming towards her straight in her view as she gripped Sandalphon tightly.
"Sandalphon... I don't know how well I've done my job as a Spirit, or truly wielding you. No matter what though, until the very end, please... let me, let Tohka Yatogami, fight by your side! That's all I ask!" Tohka whispered in a begging tone.
[...I will mas- no, I will Tohka!]
Tohka did this, and soon the world around her felt its normal pace of time resume, and Tohka readied Sandalphon overhead and without her even noticing... the crystal edge on the blade began to glow as it had only twice before, but this time brighter than ever! Ellen noticed.
'Wait a second, that's-' Ellen mentally gasped, recalling the time Shido had managed to make it glow in his attempt to save Tohka. With a mighty scream, Tohka swung Sandalphon down and at that moment?
Every concept of her true strength was shattered as the glow manifested as pure energy, causing a giant slash wave that cut through Ellen's slash wave without any effort, pushing her back a bit as she could only stare at what just happened to her attack.
"Impossible!" Ellen declared.
The Inverted Yamai twins prepared to cross paths again, but right before they did... Tohka's slash wave shot through and cut their twin hurricanes in half!
At that moment, both suddenly stopped in place as their dark spirt power enveloped them before turning normal orange, their Inversion having been broken with the hurricane's destruction. The other wind based phenomenon all vanishing alongside them. Both turned to the source of the attack once their senses came back to them.
"W-what just happened!?" Kaguya gasped, visibly terrified.
"I don't know... I feel so uneasy right now." Yuzuru said, also showing some fear to what had just occurred.
Meanwhile in another area of the sky, Maria suddenly noticed the attack coming and smirked.
"Yes, the gambit paid off now... move out of the way!" Maria screamed, making the Fraxinus use its incredible mobility technique force their clash upwards a bit... and leave only the Arbitel in range of a rogue stream of energy created by Tohka's slash wave! The entire Arbitel shook as their territory output was shot.
"What the hell!?" Marina asked in shock, trying to realize what happened. "No way... that was [Princess]'s doing? That's not possible!"
Marina suddenly noticed part of the ship was on fire... the area where the Einherjar units were being powered.
"No, not there! Without them the Einherjar will... damn it! We've got no choice, find Adeptus 1 and 3, we're changing targets to Berserk! We're not gonna lose this chance to capture them!"
James groaned at the news, but considering what had just happened right as they almost claimed victory there was no room for debate, and they were not risking the Arbitel for the kind of repair that would take forever like the previous one did.
"The enemy ship is... retreating! We did it!" Kawagoe declared, and everyone in the ship cheered at that.
"Yay. Now no one tell Commander Reine what we just pulled, otherwise she might kill us all." Maria sweat dropped, making the whole crew gulp and nod in agreement. 'Especially me, cause I'm the one who thought of it. Yikes!'
Meanwhile with the other Spirits minus Origami, they had gathered together as the Einherjar units attacking all of them had grouped together, and while they had finally managed to start destroying a few, the group was starting to run on fumes.
"Come on, we gotta hold out a bit longer!" Kotori panted, holding Camael out as the other readied their Angels. Suddenly the sight of Tohka's spirit caught their attention from the horizon and then... all the Einherjar suddenly sparked before falling over. Everyone looked in shock.
"Hey, wait a second, that was Tohka's power so... no way! Did she do this?" Natsumi asked.
"Seems likely, she must have taken out whatever was powering them. Come on, we gotta find Origami!" Kurumi stated, making the others nod.
They all ran around looking and saw Origami on the ground with Rinne, Rio and Mayuri by her side. Mayuri was panting as she noticed the Einherjar finally stopped moving, Rio was holding a barrier around Origami and Rinne, the latter healing Origami's wounds right.
"Oh thank goodness you're OK." Rinne sighed, glad the others were alright.
"What happened to Origami?" Yoshino asked worriedly.
"Not completely sure, but I tried using my power to read her brain waves and we got some info. Apparently, she fought and barely beat the new Adeptus 3 of the DEM. Then an Einherjar got her, that was when I think we showed up to help." Mayuri explained, making the others gasp.
"Luckily she's fine, she just collapsed. Though I wonder... just who was this new Adeptus 3, and how strong was she to push Origami to this state?"
Tohka blinked at what she had just seen happen, and then finally noticed Sandalphon's edge glowing, this time the glow didn't vanish as if it was permanent. She gasped at the sight and the power she felt flowing through.
"What? How can this be? What's happened to you Sandalphon?" Tohka asked.
[I... I'm not completely sure myself! Though I've felt this once, it was... yeah! Shido made me glow for a brief moment when I let him use me. This is just a guess, but I think it's possible you just managed to unlock my true power! That would mean all this time you've fighting with two left feet!]
Tohka gasped at that, and based on what she just did... that may have been right. All the times she had felt weak and too powerless to help Shido and the others, now it had an explanation, she just didn't know she wasn't using her true power. It's like recalling what the others told her caused her to manifest the missing link she needed.
"What's going on here? How are you doing that, tell me!?" Ellen demanded, feeling insulted at her strongest attack being bested so easily.
"Uh... I guess I just discovered that I wasn't using my full strength without realizing it?" Tohka answered, still a little thrown off by the whole situation. Ellen's eyes shook with rage at hearing that. "It's just a guess!"
Ellen soon readied her sword again.
"I've changed my mind, I need to take you and that boy with me, resisting me will not be wise! I won't drop my guard again!" Ellen declared, soon taking a step forward.
Unfortunately for her... that area was a spot where the talkative trio made another of their prank traps, and Ellen fell inside while screaming, Tohka watched as she hit the bottom hard. Blinking for a moment, she whistled as she stomped the ground, causing some rocks to drop in and fall on her.
"No... I lost to [Princess]? It's not fair, I am the greatest Wizard ever!" Ellen grunted, but soon all the damage she had taken was too much and her body gave out. "...Crap."
"Well, that's one way to beat Ellen." Tohka sweat dropped.
[Yeah... I'm doubting her claim on how strong she is now, I mean falling into a hidden pit like that? If she was that strong she should have noticed it.]
Tohka nodded, and soon she heard some groaning as she saw Shido walk into the area, rubbing his head.
"Shido!" Tohka exclaimed happily, hugging him tightly before he yelped in pain from the bruises. "Sorry! Are you alright, I was so worried!"
"Mostly, I just broke a few bones, had to them regenerate back into place. Oh, and it doesn't heal bruises." Shido winced, soon noticing Sandalphon's glow. "Wait, what happened to Sandalphon?"
"To be honest, I have no idea what's going on." Tohka answered, soon gasping. "Wait, we gotta find Kaguya and Yuzuru!"
Shido yelped in pain as Tohka dragged him somewhere, soon finding the two on the beach. To their surprise their Inversions were gone and they noticed the two, then noticing the glow from Sandalphon.
"No way, that was Tohka who did that?" Kaguya stated.
"Such incredible power, I still can't comprehend it." Yuzuru added.
Soon Tohka breathed and took a step forward.
"Kaguya! Yuzuru! This can all finally stop, there's another way!" Tohka shouted.
"You just don't get it! We already told you, there's no ending where we both come out of this alive!" Kaguya said, turning away.
"She's right, just accept the truth like we have." Yuzuru replied, doing the same.
"You're wrong! There's always been a way, you just never say it, because it's been right here!" Tohka shouted, surprising them both. "Because Shido has the power to save both of you!"
The two stare at Tohka, confused.
"Me, Origami, Yoshino, Kotori, Kurumi and Natsumi... he saved all of us, and can save you the same way! The fact we know you were always two is enough that I know this can work! You said it yourselves right. Kaguya, you care more about Yuzuru then yourself. Yuzuru, you feel the same way for Kaguya!"
The two stared at each other, fighting between trying have hope to believe, or still have reality say otherwise.
"So it's time you learn what that third option is! That option is... in exchange for having your powers sealed, you can both live!" Tohka exclaimed, making both gasp.
"Seal? W-what do you mean by seal!?" Kaguya asked.
"I agree, that doesn't..." Yuzuru began, soon realizing something. Despite being Spirits, most of the others didn't show any signs of their spirit mana leaking off them. It was almost like it wasn't there, or based on how Tohka had it now, possible to remove it and take it back. "...Wait, are you saying that's what Shido did to you all?"
Tohka nods.
"I can still use my powers, but it's all inside Shido now. If the DEM tried to detect me by my mana, they wouldn't get any results even now!" Tohka answered.
"She's telling the truth, if I sealed you both at the same time, then it might just work!" Shido added, hoping they were getting through.
"You... you can't have the power to do that, no Human or Spirit does! There's no way that'll save us both!" Kaguya cried out. "Just stop, we don't want a false-"
Tohka fires an energy blast past them, making the Yamai twins stop in turn.
"What's wrong with having hope!? You've both been faced with the fact only one of you can survive, and you barely have any time left before you have to make a choice... is it wrong for one last time that you can believe there's a chance to help you both survive!?" Tohka stated, making the twins' eyes widen.
"All we're asking is you give us a chance to help you, I mean I just split those hurricanes you caused! If I can do that, then I think it's right to see one more time if there is such a way to save you both! If you still can't convince yourselves, then... if it does fail, the one who survives can kill me for getting your hopes up!"
Kaguya, Yuzuru and Shido all gasp at this claim, and soon Tohka feels her vision getting blurry.
"Please, just... trust us..." Tohka said weakly, Sandalphon vanished along with her Astral Dress as it reverted to her prior outfit and she collapsed forward, Shido catching her barely conscious form. "Please... I... beg you..."
The Yamai sisters just floated in place motionlessly for a moment, and then Kaguya turned a bit before breaking the ice.
"Hey, Yuzuru... what if she's right? What if Shido can save us both?" Kaguya asked.
"That would... make me happy." Yuzuru replied, looking back at her. "And if we did both make it, what would you want to do first?
Kaguya thought about that.
"I guess... I'd like to try all the food Tohka's told me about, all of it sounded so delicious. What about you?" Kaguya asked.
"I think... maybe, no... I want to go back to school again, for real this time." Yuzuru replied.
"Yeah, me too! The boys would be all over you too!" Kaguya giggled, before giving a somber smile. "Then again... I think we both know there's only boy we've got an eye on now."
Shido blushed at that.
'That's totally me, at this point is has to be.' Shido thought, but so far the signs seemed good.
Soon the two twins kept staring at each other in the air, and soon Tohka managed to get back up slightly with Shido holding her, the two wondering what would happen... and then Kaguya shed a tear.
"Yuzuru?" Kaguya began, getting her sister's attention as she cried. "Will you forgive me? I... I want to believe, believe that we can both survive. I know I said I'd rather give up my life for yours, but the truth is if you're not here, I'd rather die with you!"
"Kaguya..." Yuzuru replied, soon crying herself. "I feel the same! If you were to disappear, then I'd want to die too! There's no point if I'm not with you!"
Tohka and Shido smiled, and soon they heard ship engines and saw a familiar ship.
"Oh no, not that thing!" Tohka shouted worriedly.
"Heh, look at that! [Princess] is out of steam and that boy's wounded! This is it, we'll finally capture Spirits, this is our day!" Marina cackled, moving the Arbitel closer. Soon the Yamai twins looked at the ship annoyed. "Time to play fetch, deploy all remaining Einherjar units! I'll move them through my auxiliary power!
The Yamai twins looked at each other.
"Now this is just getting ridiculous. Come on, let's show them not to ruin the moment!" Kaguya exclaimed, smiling.
"I agree, let's put an end to this." Yuzuru replied, also smiling.
Both twins reach for the winds on their shoulders.
"RAPHAEL!"
Said wings finally awaken from their standby forms, detaching as for the first time since coming under the Yamai twins' possession, transforming into their true forms. Tohka and Shido looked as they saw the true form of the Angel Raphael, a bow.
"I wondered where their Angel was, take them down you two!" Tohka shouted, giving a fist pump for encouragement.
Soon the two slammed their bows together, making them glow as the two Raphael's become one, revealing the form that only exists from their power and bond as twins.
"EL KAN'APH!"
The two bows become a single three-pronged bow, having three strings to each fire an arrow from. Marina suddenly gets a warning on their power levels, and suddenly sees the arrow they were charging as the two pull the three bowstrings together, knowing they didn't have any defense due to their territory being shot...
"Oh no, change of plans! Evacuate right now!" Marina warned, typing a command for the Einherjar to all gather and allow them to escape.
The Arbitel quickly turned, and the two twins shouted together as they released the arrow which flew through the air.
All the remaining Einherjar units gathered and piled up, focusing their personal territories. They were torn to shreds, but it was enough to prevent the arrow from reaching the Arbitel, but just barely. Marina gave an annoyed look as the video feed showed her the four celebrating.
"I... hate those... children!" Marina screamed.
Soon inside one of the rooms, Rinne put a wet cloth on Origami's head, and soon gasped slightly as Origami's face twitched and she woke up.
"You finally woke up, thank goodness." Rinne smiled happily. "Glad you're OK."
"Yeah, me too. Had a bit of a bad family reunion... that Chinami lady was with the DEM all this time." Origami replied, making Rinne nod.
"How sneaky, using someone we didn't know to hide the DEM's presence right under our noses. Especially while we had that jamming keeping us from doing much. We couldn't even alert the AST members here that trouble came... no one tells Mana." Rinne stated, making everyone nod. "Hey wait... did you just say family reunion?"
Origami nodded.
"Chinami Mikazuchi... is a cousin of mine, one my parents were going to adopt. She was there when I killed my parents. She's our enemy, all because... seeing what I did made her believe we're the real monsters." Origami sighed, looking up. "I won't hesitate to face her again, but now it's clear... we have a dangerous new enemy to face."
Rio rubs her head.
"Just try to relax, don't stress yourself. Oh! And don't worry about Shido, Tohka or the Yamai twins, the jamming's gone and we heard they're all OK and heading back. Tohka even defeat Ellen!" Mayuri replied, shocking some of the others. "Well... technically she fell into a hole and then Tohka used boulders to immobilize her, but it counts as losing!"
"I agree with that, can't fight if you can't move." Natsumi nodded.
Back with Shido and Tohka, the Yamai twins landed in part of the forest where they met up with them.
"Tohka, Shido... thank you for everything. If it wasn't for you, we might have hurt a lot of people and been too stubborn to accept anything could change for us." Kaguya apologized.
"It means a lot to us all you've done just to help us, we'll be in your gratitude forever." Yuzuru thanked, both her and Kaguya bowing to them.
"Eh, no big deal. It's kinda our thing at this point. Not to mention the DEM wants our heads too." Shido chuckled, scratching their heads. "Oh yeah, you're not gonna end up Inverting again anytime soon, are you?"
The two wave their hands in denial at that.
"Oh no, we're good for now. Not sure how long though. So... this sealing thing, might wanna do it now." Kaguya stated. "Which leads to the question, how does it work?"
"Well first question to that, are you two in love with Shido." Tohka asked, making the two blush.
"U-uh... how is that relevant?" Yuzuru asked, sweating a little. Tohka suddenly turned around, trying not to laugh. "Tohka, what is so hilarious to you?"
Shido sweated a bit and soon turned to face them.
"Because I can't seal you unless that's the case." Shido replied, making the twins blush. "Though I'm guessing the both of you do, I mean considering Kaguya's one comment and Yuzuru's lack of a denial."
Kaguya flinched at that while blushing more, Yuzuru, turned her head while blushing brighter herself.
"I thought that was in my head, not my mouth!" Kaguya said embarrassed, soon shaking her head. "OK, we admit it! Don't look at us like that! We can't help how we began to feel from this whole thing!"
"OK, and after that its simple." Tohka replied, sweat dropping and looking away as she said the part she'd wish she didn't have to. "You have to kiss him. In this case, at the same time."
"What!?" Both twins shouted, and Shido only nodded with a sweat drop.
"...Alright, if we must. Please close your eyes when we do it though." Yuzuru reasoned, and Shido blinked.
"Uh... OK then, I can do that." Shido said, closing his eyes.
"I feel like we forgot something." Tohka said, too quiet for the others to hear.
At that moment, Kaguya and Yuzuru both neared Shido and kissed him on the lips, and after a moment Tohka's eyes widened as she remembered.
"Oh no, Shido... we don't have a coat! Much less two!" Tohka panicked, and Shido's eyes suddenly opened as they palled. The twins looked confused... until they suddenly saw their clothes disappear, causing both to cover themselves and kneel to the ground.
"W-We're so sorry, things got so chaotic we forgot that sealing your powers causes your current outfit to disappear!" Shido and Tohka said at the same time, both failing their arms in panic.
"SHIDO, CLOSE YOUR EYES DAMN IT!" Kaguya screamed, crying a bit.
"The ultimate shame, I'll never be able to forget this moment... the horror." Yuzuru stated, crying a bit as well.
Seeing his eyes were still open, Tohka slapped her hand over his face, causing him to scream in pain.
Meanwhile on the Arbitel as it began heading back to England for a quick repair, Ellen was using a private channel between her and Westcott. The head of the DEM quickly growled at the news, especially the fact there were two Spirits labeled Berserk, rather than just one like previously believed.
"So, the operation failed entirely?" Westcott stated, making sure he heard everything correctly.
"Correct, unfortunately it seems [Princess] had somehow failed to manifest her full power. Forgive me. I made the mistake of forgetting there hadn't been any prior holders of the Sandalphon crystal. I made the mistake of believing she had her full strength all along." Ellen answered, anger on her face for the crushing blow on her pride.
"However, it may be possible that wasn't the case at all. This may just confirm that Shido Takamiya really does possess the power that falls into your plans. Perhaps for now rather than the Spirits..."
Westcott thinks on that before smirking.
"You're right, wait for the next Spirit to appear, next time we won't try to capture it. We'll use their attempts to seal it in a place to trick them and hopefully... we'll catch Shido Takamiya himself. It's time we reach for the core rather than its parts." Westcott replied, smirking.
"Understood, I'll alert the others. Hopefully we can get Chinami to drop her vendetta against the Spirits for a while, especially [Angel]." Ellen nodded, soon cutting the connection before holding up a tablet holding Tohka's spirit data on it. "We'll deal with them when we get the required result."
On it, the tablet showed her data updated. Her strength, consistency, spiritual power and agility had all gone up by around 50 each, or rather had been 50 lower than her full potential was. Also, her Risk factor and Spacequake ranking had bumped up to S and A rank respectively.
"Once that's finished, I'll finally come and destroy you myself [Princess]. No... Tohka Yatogami." Ellen said, her thumb shattering the part of the tablet where Tohka's face was.
The follow day, the return trip to Tenguu City had finally arrived, and luckily for the Yamai twins they found out to their joy that Shido sealing them had indeed done it and saved the both of them. Tohka having to explain the whole oddity to the others.
Currently as they waited for the plane, the sight of Kotori, Kurumi, Yoshino and Natsumi standing in a square pattern was seen. Each of them holding their hands back.
"Alright, Tohka and Origami won the spots for sitting with Shido on the way here, now we're competing for who gets them on the way back." Natsumi declared, and the other three nodded. Shido gulping as some of the usual male students glared at him. "OK, one, three... shoot!"
Six hands appeared, four rocks and two papers. The four all looked in shock to see the Yamai twins were the two papers.
"We win!" Kaguya smirked.
"That means we'll be the two getting to sit with Shido on the way back home." Yuzuru added, causing the two hug his arms... and press their breasts onto them again. Shido went red. "Wow Shido, I didn't know you were shy about this kind of thing."
The guys glare more as they start to add growls.
"Uh... what's with them?" Mayuri asked.
"Jealousy, they hate my son gets all the girls' attention because she's actually nice." Rinne replied, turning her eyes at the boys annoyed.
"Oh, is that cause they're in big brother's harem." Rio said innocently, not realizing the bomb she just set off. Rinne, Mana and Shido all staring in horror as Rio blinked. "Did Rio say something wrong?"
The guys glares all become more murderous as Shido shakes.
"I knew it, he was going after all the girls! Now he's got eight of them! Get him!" The main guy yelled, and they all rushed at him.
A certain silver haired Spirit noticed this and wrote {the group of rushing boys all slip on a waxed part of the floor and crash into the wall, never making it to Shido} in response to the sight, and soon enough... they all slip, completely miss Shido, and crash into the wall to everyone's shock and confusion.
Nia quietly walked away and teleported before anyone saw her. Not too long after, everyone headed home while Nia watched from a certain spot on the plane.
"I don't think he's ready, but I think it's worth giving him a trial run now." Nia smirked.
Once everyone had returned to Ratatoskr, Rinne was suddenly asked by Elliot to talk with him in a private room. Once they were in...
"I've recently received a rather disturbing report from one of our info diggers, they intercepted something about plans Westcott and Ellen were talking about in the brief moment the Arbitel's communications were unprotected from their territory output being depleted." Elliot began, with Rinne nodding as she listened.
"I didn't get to hear much of it, but it seems that Westcott's not as interested in the Spirits as of recently, but your son's ability to seal them within himself."
Rinne gasped at that.
"What? Are you sure about this, no room for doubt?" Rinne asked.
"I'm afraid so, and you and I both know why something bad happening to Shido is the last thing we need." Elliot continued, making Rinne listen as she sweated a bit.
"If the DEM were to somehow actually kill him... calamity could befall the spirits we worked so hard to seal. Not only could their powers return to them, but their very bonds with Shido could lead all of them undergo a simultaneous Inversion. You and I know we cannot let that happen."
Rinne sighs.
"I see..." Rinne nods.
"I'm sorry I had to reveal such an unpleasant discover to you, but I'm afraid we have no other choice. Especially since if they're interested in Shido like a Spirit..." Elliot stated.
"Don't worry, I understand. It's like you said. We can't let the worst come to pass, after all... there's likely no chance that any of us would survive if someone manages to cause a [Category F]." Rinne answered.
Oh yeah, now that was awesome! The Yamai twins have been both sealed, and neither of them is dying now, thank you sealing for fixing Sephira Crystal irregularities! Also... surprise on that twist with Chinami! To be honest, that was something I added last minute because I felt it would help flesh things out more, plus I need to give her a rival like how Tohka's rival is Ellen, and Mana's rival is Jessica.
First thing I should probably talk about is the power Tohka just managed to achieve, because Sandalphon guessed it exactly right. All this time, and partially due to being the only host of the Sandalphon Crystal, Tohka didn't even realize she wasn't using all of her power. Believe it or not, the last chapter of Tohka's arc even hinted this (the moment Ellen reacted to upon seeing the blade edge glow), and from here on out she's finally got full strength!
Now you might be wondering, how does this effect Tohka's data sheet? Well her Risk Factor and Spacequake ranks both went up by one, so Tohka's now an S-Rank Spirit with a A-Rank Spacequake level. Her actual stats? Unchanged, but I will submit her data sheet to show you all how much of her stats she's actually managed to use before now, plus I need to update it due to her earth abilities she gained in Natsumi's arc.
So, you're probably all thinking that Miku's arc is next now? Well... *begins a drum roll*
WRONG!
Its Nia that's next! Yeah, you heard me right, I'm bring Nia in before Miku. That's all I'm gonna say though, you'll understand why when I finally start Nia's arc in the next chapter. *snickers* :3
[Category F]... that sounds grim, but what is it? Not much to go on other than apparently its gonna kill everyone based on Rinne's words. *gets closer to all of you* DUN, DUN, DUN! *moves back* Well, that my fellow friends and readers will not be answered until near the end of this season. My refusal to reveal it is even so great, should you manage to actually guess it via review or PM... I will not tell if you guessed right. It's that big a deal for this season that I can't confirm or deny any guess you make about it.
That's a rap for the Yamai arc, so I hope you all enjoyed it. See you all next time and stay awesome! ^^
A/N: The stats in the parenthesis are how much of Tohka's full power she's actually been able to use before this chapter, and just to avoid confusion, Tohka's number stats are the same.
-Tohka Yatogami (At Full Power), Code Name: [Princess]-
Angel: Sandalphon, the "Throne of Annihilation" - Sandalphon is a powerful two-handed sword that Tohka is strong enough to wield with only one, namely her dominant left hand, that appears from a golden throne. Sandalphon's power comes in the form of pure mana and powerful enough some of the strongest defenses in the world. Sandalphon's true power is only confirmed to be active if the crystalline edge of the blade is glowing, otherwise Tohka is only using some of the Angel's full power. Using the Angel's full power requires a deep focus of one's willpower and emotions.
- Alternate Form: Halvanhel ev, the "Sword of the End" - By shattering her throne into pieces, the shards can combine with Sandalphon to transform the sword into a massive single-edged zanbatō-like sword. While the sword's larger size decreases the speed at which Tohka can swing it, it gives it the power to equal a Demon King's base form. Tohka mentions she must be careful not to use too much power from Halvanhelev at once, or the mana inside of it will overload and cause an explosion, though this problem vanishes if Sandalphon's true power is achieved.
- Alternate Form: Chrysaor - Not an actual form of Sandalphon itself, but Sandalphon can be used in conjunction with it. By kicking her throne, Tohka can shift it into a flying vehicle form and drive it using her willpower. This allows Tohka to use her powers without any limitations from flying normally, if Sandalphon is sheathed in the scabbard area, Tohka can spin the throne to make a slash wave or rush forward for a piercing attack. For some reason, this alternate form allowed Tohka to learn how to drive without training or practice.
- Powers: Tohka's elemental affinity as a Spirit is pure Mana with Earth as her secondary elemental affinity, mainly in the form of causing seismic waves, summoning her throne from the ground, and manipulating stone, sand or crystals. She can utilize energy blasts with her hands or fingertips, as well as create shock waves with a mere arm swipe. She also has supernatural strength and speed even when not using her powers, the ability to sense if she's in danger that's often called her 'Sixth Sense', and her sense of smell even more potent than a dog's.
