Double A, Haru, and Futaba are seen walking up to a massive door, as shadow guards lay behind them before they vanish in a back cloud of ash.

AarenAero: For a man with so much confidence, he has quite the amount of guards to protect this castle.

Futaba: Perhaps he isn't as confident as he wants to be, since he has comrades who do the work for him.

Haru: But it is quite enjoyable to see the shadows be split in two by our weapons. *smiles joyfully as she cleans her axe before hearing beeps from Futaba's visor*

Futaba: Be careful, the darkness energy in this room is pretty big. And those glitches that blocked the name are gone.

AarenAero: Tyrian Callows, right? About time I settle the score with him after that attack.

Double A repares his spear as he slices the lock holding the door back and opens the door. The three enter the room as bodies of many huntsmen and huntresses lay a strewn on the ground. A circle in the middle is seen as light from above displays the arena.

Haru: Oracle...where is that energy you were talking about?

Futaba: It seemed to have moved...it's...

Futaba gasps in shock before looking up to see a scorpion monster falling from the roof, about to crush Double A and Haru.

Futaba: Look out!

Futaba tackles the two out of the way of the monster, as it lands and misses the three, making a massive dust cloud as the three stand to look at the monster. The evil cackle of Tyrian is heard before the dust cloud is cleared to view the scorpion monster that roars at them.

Haru: What is that?!

Futaba: That's Tyrian according to my systems, but he way less human than any reports we got.

AarenAero: I guess this is how Jaques views Tyrian, just a mindless monster. *spins spear* This is going to be fun.

Haru prepares her axe as Futaba summons her persona, which lifts her into the ship with the robot tentacles.

Scorpio-Tyrian: You will die in the name of our queen!

Scorpio-Tyrian's pincers glow purple before it slams them on the ground, as poisonous Gysers erupts from the ground. Haru and Double A dodge the erupting poison as Double A hand-springs back before pushing off a wall to charge at Scorpio-Tyrian. He stabs one of the legs as the monster screams and wildly spins in circles to get Double A off.

Futaba: He's distracted! Now's your chance Noir!

Haru: Right! Come forth Milady!

Milady appears to be wearing a black and pink Rococo style dress, with red and pink vertical striped puffs on the sleeves of the dress that extends to her elbows and wearing pink gloves. The bottom of the dress is in a pink color with golden trim around the dress, which has a golden lip on the center of the dress that makes it resemble a smiling face. There are black and red curtain drapes around the dress underneath, a pink heart shaped frill around her waist with a red bow tied on the drapes and a knife next to on the center of the heart shaped frill.
