Blackwell moved their hands on their wound. They groaned and did their best to stay awake as Emyr approached.

"Don't worry Blackwell--" Emyr said, "Your sacrifice won't be in vein. It's just that no one not even my father is worthy of the Princess's power." She stepped towards Blackwell placing her foot on their head.

"... But I am." She stated, making Asta, Yuno and Yami's look hardened, "So---I will take, what is—-MINE."

Emyr lifted her foot ready to crush their head. But much to her surprise, Prism threw herself over Blackwell, in a protective manner despite her current condition. She looked at her with eyes pleading as the spirits turned to a purple color.

Emyr only scoffed, "Disgusting."

She went to kick Prism off, though before she could---

"YOU BASTARD!!!"

With a flash and anti-magic sword out and ready, Asta hurled his blade at Emyr as she felt her rib crack. She hit a tree as she looked to Asta.

"I---" Asta said before his eyes soon turned red, "---I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!"

"So, you want to fight?" Emyr said as she got up holding her side before she cracked her neck, as she smiled, "Fine then---" Ice armor soon manifested around her body, as the armor had the resemblance of a scorpion.

"---Let's fight." She said.

Asta soon charged at her before anyone else could stop him.

Their blades began to clash as she thrusted her tail towards him.

As they started to fight, everyone else grabbed their grimoires and moved out of harms way, after Yami and Jack quickly knocked away 14 and 24.

"Prism!" Liam called out as he ran to her, "Are you okay?"

Prism nodded before the holly branch glowed. Liam, Brenin and Saorise's branches glowed as well.

"What is it?" Aoife asked, "What's she saying?"

"She wants us to help Blackwell." Saorise said.

"But they just tried to kill you!" Alex said, "Why would you want to help them!?"

The holly branch glowed again as Brenin, Liam and Saorise understood. "I don't want anyone to die." Saorise said, translating for Prism. Most of their looks softened at this.

"Pri--" Aine said with solem look.

Nolan placed his hand on her shoulder, "... Okay honey. We'll do what we can."

"Hey--" Yami said to Eryl, "---Take her back inside."

"Right." Eryl said as he picked her up, holding her bridal style.

"You guys---Get them inside." Cheddy soon said the to Ideale residents, while gesturing to Blackwell.

"I think this is a big mistake." Gieon said.

"Just grab their feet, I got their shoulders!" Seimon said.

"Man! What a drag.." Gideon groaned as the boys moved the injured assassin inside.

"Keep them safe!" Yami said before---

WHAM---Went 14's weapon across his face, startling most. He went crashing right into a pond nearby.

"Consider that payback Captain!" 14 said.

"BASTARD!" Jack shouted as he got his blade and hurled it at the DOLL, striking his face, "HE'S MINE TO KILL!"
