The Third Magic World War had broken out, between the Ballam Alliance and the Luminous Union, consisting of the most powerful Legal Guilds of Fiore, Fairy Tail, Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, Mermaid Heel and Quatro Cerberus. The struggled occurred over the the devastated ruins of what just a few hours ago was the Blooming Capital-Crocus, and its surroundings. In just a couple of short hours, many Mages had lost their lives already, and many more civilians had encountered the same fate. This war was not like the previous two Magic World Wars that took months to finish, but this war had gone at full force since its first second. Now, July 1, X792, battles raged on in different places around Crocus and its surroundings. The new member of Grimoire Heart, Minerva Orland, rampaged through the city killing Mages as well as innocent people that hadn't evacuated in time. As she kept advancing through the streets of the ruined city, she encounters a woman running from harm with a baby on her arms. Minerva heartlessly looks at the scene and, with her Territory, teleports a giant rock above the mother and child. The rock starts to fall on the victims, but as its about to make contact, it suddenly stops. An old woman grabs the shocked mother and tells her to keep running. Once the mother and baby run away, the rock starts crumbling to small pieces, which fall on the ground.

Minerva: And who the hell might you be? Old Woman: Me? Nobody really. Just an old witch trying to amend for her sins. Minerva: Mph. Well, unfortunately for you I don't give mercy, not even to old hags like yourself. Old Woman: Well, unfortunately for you, I don't go easy on Mages fallen to the dark, not even on brats like you. Minerva: Those are some big words you have. A wide smile spreads on Minerva's face. Minerva: I'll enjoy slaughtering you. Old Woman: Bring it bitch. Minerva does some hands signs. Minerva: Ih Ragdo! Dark matter is created around the old woman, and it starts enveloping her, but when it finishes forming into a sphere, no one is inside it. Minerva, perplexed, looks around, and finds the old woman a dozen meters to the side of where she was a second ago. Old Woman: Territory. What a very rare and powerful Magic. Minerva: Ih Ragdo! Once again, the old woman starts getting enveloped by the dark matter, and once again, she appears in a different place one second after. Old Woman: Not gonna work. Minerva: Ih Ragdo! Again Minerva's Magic fails to work on the old woman. Old Woman: No matter how many times you try, that won't work. From a black portal in midair, three large pieces of rock fly at the old woman, but they stop midair and start crumbling to the ground. Minerva: What the hell is this Magic? Old Woman: Funny hearing that from you. Minerva: Tch. Ih Razgeh! Minerva fires a storm of Magical dark matter at the old woman, but she appears and disappears through them, avoiding every single one. Minerva: *How is this old woman able to move so fast?!* Old Woman: Hihihi. Minerva: Grrrr. *I can't let some old hag mock me.* Minerva takes out her sword and vanishes in the air. She reappears behind the old woman and stabs her in the back. The old woman turns her head around and snickers. Old Woman: That tickles. Minerva raises the sword, noticing that the entire blade was gone, turned into dust that now laid on the ground. Enraged at the woman mocking her, Minerva swings a punch at her face, only to hit the air and see the old woman standing a few meters away, smiling. Minerva falls on the ground from the momentum of the missed punch, and the old woman appears right in front of her. Old Woman: Need a hand, brat? Minerva: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! A bruised and enraged Minerva stands up while releases a tremendous Magical Power. Minerva: YAGDO RIGORA!!!!!!!! a large statue with intricate designs and patterns over its body appears, creating a powerful blast covering a large piece of the area. The ground breaks, houses blast into pieces, trees are ripped from the earth, and as the debris and dust flies through the air, a single word is heard. Old Woman: Restore Suddenly, everything starts reverting, the trees fly back and sink into the earth, the houses get rebuilt, and the ground closes. In less than ten seconds, Crocus had been destroyed and once again restored. And Minerva, eyes wide open, stares at the old woman, who just smiles. Old Woman: Is this all the great Minerva Orland, the former strongest Mage of Sabertooth, can do against a frail old woman? Minerva: ... Old Woman: Come on. You are stronger than this! See the power within yourself! Minerva: ... A wide, evil, smile spreads on Minerva's face and a blood lust appears in her eyes. Minerva: The Arc of Time huh? Old Woman: ... Minerva: Hahahaha. How could I forget the Lost Magic that destroyed my life?! And how could I ever forget the demon that wielded it?! Old Woman: ... Minerva: I can't believe it!! The great Mage that used to be counted as part of the Magic Council and then betrayed them has been reduced to an old woman?! No wonder I was having so much trouble killing you, Ultear Milkovich. Ultear: So you figured out who I am, Minerva. Minerva: Of course. I've learned everything I could about you. Ever since you destroyed my village, my only wish in this life has been to kill you. I know that you were in Grimoire Heart 8 years ago, that you were the strongest of the Seven Kin of Purgatory. But you abandoned this guild after the old Master, Hades, was defeated by Fairy Tail and instead helped the enemy by restoring the Tenrou Tree... and seven years ago you broke out Jellal Fernandes out of prison. But after that, you disappeared. Nothing was heard of you. And now I find you here, in this war, as an old woman. Oh that must be a good story. Ultear: ... Minerva: So why have you appeared again after all this time, huh? Have you come to finish the job you didn't finish 12 years ago? Ultear: ... Minerva: You remember huh?!! DO YOU?!! HUH?!! HAVE YOU COME TO FINALLY KILL ME?!!! Tears start falling from Ultear's eyes. Ultear: I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Minerva: I don't need your apologies. You thought you were doing me a favor by letting me live even though you had killed my family in front of my eyes? Ultear: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Minerva: You left me there alone. You left me to die. Ultear falls on her knees as she cries. Minerva: Jiemma found me almost dead out of starvation. He took me under his wing and raised me to be the most powerful Mage in a Guild he would create. I survived. But even so, I swore to kill you one day. Ultear continues to sob. Minerva: And now here you are in front of me. I will not let you live another day. Ultear: I'm sorry. I'm very sorry for what I did to you. I know that there is nothing I could ever do to give you back what I took from you, but I cannot let you harm innocent people. I'm sorry, but today you fall. Ultear waves her arm and the ground beneath Minerva caves in. Minerva falls but disappears in midair and appears above Ultear. Minerva extends her arm downwards, towards Ultear, creating a Ih Ragdo sphere. Ultear appears a few meters away again, avoiding Minerva's spell. Minerva: I already figured out you are stopping time, but that won't save you from this! Ragne ₯Zhu! Minerva lands and puts her palm on the ground. The ground becomes black, absorbing everything above it. The Magic spreads outwards in a circle until it reaches Ultear and she falls in it. From Ultear's sleeve, a white orb comes out and places itself beneath Minerva, serving as a platform. Ultear places one pf her fists on top of her palm. Ultear: Ice-Make: Rose Garden! A garden made of ice is created underneath her. Ultear steps down on it and sends her orb flying towards Minerva. Ultear: Luminous Minutes! Minerva disappears once again and so does the ice garden. Minerva reappears with the giant garden above the falling Ultear and sends it flying at Ultear. Ultear evaporates the ice by increasing its time and restores the ground beneath her. Ultear: Ice-Make: Rosen Krone! The ice roses and their vines lash at Minerva but she disappears. Minerva: You won't be able to catch me. Ultear: Parallel Worlds Rosen Krone multiplies into all dimensions and one of them catches and binds Minerva, and then smashes her into the ground. A bleeding Minerva appears behind Ultear. Minerva: I'm not done yet!!! Yagdo Rigora! The statue appears once again, its blast hitting Ultear dead on. The smoke clears and Ultear's old body stands, bleeding everywhere. Minerva: Your old body can't go on any longer. Ultear: I will keep fighting until I can no longer move. Minerva: ... Then good bye. Ultear grabs her arm in one hand and points it at Minerva, while unleashing her full Magic power. Minerva: Niel Wielg Mion Segun Elcantaeus Ultear: Fall of Time Minerva: Reppun Omoztec A statue with wings and twice the size of Yagdo Rigora, appears between Ultear and Minerva, holding an intricately designed arrow made of lightning. As the arrow starts swinging down at Ultear, the orb disappears from Ultear's hand. The statues's lightning arrow suddenly disappears as holes, the size and shape of the orb, start appearing throughout the statues body, until it becomes nothing. Minerva: Wha— Suddenly, an orb-sized hole appears on Minerva's arm. Ultear: I'm sorry. Minerva: No way. This... Holes start appearing around Minerva's body, eating it away until it completely disappears, leaving no trace behind as if it had never existed. Ultear turns around and starts walking away, leaving a trail of tears. Ultear: It looks I will never change. I will always be just a heartless witch.
