The swimsuit contest was a bit odd, but it had an awesome ending. I would like to see such a form used in a real battle.

As eclipse "Before Eclipse, the gateway to changing the world. The price of a single girl's life is indeed quite cheap." Also this have been said to be a 7 year plan, which means started at least the same year when everyone vanished. Also we know that the knight thinks he is doing this for either his king or kingdom. These last two facts make me wonder how the dark lord fits into everything. Although we can say that it was most likely opening the gate that caused the castle to crumple, or perhaps FT trying to save Lucy. Also this spell might cost the casters life, this would mean we will either have a very close rescue of lucy or one less member of FT. The details of this gate are still elusive though.
