Chapter Text
Illya pointed Ruby at her enemy before shooting a huge beam of magic at them. Right as her attack was about to make contact with the Class Card, a large black and red barrier appeared around them for a few seconds before promptly vanishing without a trace.
“From what I can tell, that was a barrier made from that thing’s magic. It’s incredibly powerful, so much so that I’m not even sure if you and Miyu would be able to shatter it with your strongest attacks. Perhaps if you could freeze it with your Stand, you’d be able to shatter it.”
“Good idea, Ruby!” She shouted as her Stand appeared behind her.
Twinkle Snow Powdery Snow wasted no time and began to pound on her chest and roar, releasing powerful blasts of wind toward the Class Card. Before she could do anything, they dashed toward the white haired girl with blinding speed, moving so fast that it appeared as if they had teleported over to her. The armored individual quickly raised their sword and swung it toward the Stand’s head. She quickly threw a barrage of punches at the Class Card’s chest and stomach, causing them to swiftly lower their weapon to effortlessly block the flurry of blows. Despite the strength of each of Twinkle Snow Powdery Snow’s attacks, none of them managed to even scratch or dent her opponent’s blade. A few seconds after the Stand began her seemingly endless barrage, the Class Card knelt down, allowing her to avoid the constant stream of attacks, before swinging her sword upward, slicing Twinkle Snow Powdery Snow’s right hand off, causing her master’s hand to be severed as well. Illya let out a shout as she stumbled backward, narrowly managing to grab Magical Ruby before the Class Card thrust their sword forward, stabbing the Stand through her heart. Not even a second later, they threw a powerful kick at her stomach, sending her flying away from them. The Class Card wasted no time before bolting toward Illya and throwing a punch at her jaw that was so powerful that it completely unhinged it and sent her flying to the leftmost wall of the cavern.
“ILLYA!” Rin shouted as she shot several gems at her opponent.
The Class Card wasted no time before turning around and deflecting the attacks with ease, sending them flying into trees. Not even a second later, they rushed toward Rin and effortlessly bisected her. Not allowing them to do anything else, Dirty Work appeared behind the Class Card and put its left hand on their right cheek and on top of their head .
“Don’t think you’ll get the satisfaction of killing Rin! If she’ll die to anyone’s hand, it’ll be mine!” She shouted while standing completely still.
The blonde took control of her enemy and forced them to thrust their sword downward toward their stomach, piercing through it.
“All right, Dirty Work, I think that should be it. Quickly behead it before-“
Luvia’s sentence was interrupted by the Class Card quickly charging up a powerful black and red beam of magic and shooting it through their stomach. The projectile went through them and the Stand, causing a large hole to appear in its master abdomen. Due to this, Dirty Work was pushed away from its enemy. The Class Card wasted no time and darted toward Luviagelita, slashing her across the chest. She let out an ear piercing scream as she fell onto her back. The individual’s massive injury healed itself, revealing a rather well defined stomach with ghostly pale skin that was once hidden by their armor. With the other three magic users all defeated, the Class Card turned around began to calmly walk toward Miyu, who was breathing heavily while her eyes were wide open. She was pointing Magical Sapphire at her enemy as her arms shook heavily.
“G-Get away from m-my friends! O-Or I’ll shoot your head off!” She shouted.
The Class Card didn’t seem to even pay attention to the black haired girl’s warning before increasing their speed and beginning to steadily jog toward her. Once they were close enough to the black haired girl, the Class Card swung its sword sideways toward her head. Miyu narrowly managed to avoid the attack by ducking before quickly turning to her left and running away from the knight-like entity as quickly as possible.
“Miyu? Where are you going?” Sapphire shouted.
“I-I can’t beat that thing, not by myself!” She responded. “I-If it beat I-Illya, I-I’m not strong enough to beat it by myself!”
Instead of chasing after their target, the Class Card raised their sword and swung it downward, causing it to release a black and red crescent projectile at her. Noticing this, Sapphire summoned a large blue rune-like barrier behind her master. The attack effortlessly shattered her defenses before cutting through her left thigh, causing her to whimper as she fell to the ground. Upon seeing this, the Class Card began to calmly walk toward her.
“Damn it! That thing’s after Miyu!” Illya, whose injuries had been healed by Ruby, shouted. “I won’t let her lay a finger on her!”
She quickly stood up and ran forward. As Miyu lay on the ground, she rested her head on the he add with her eyes closed as she desperately wished that the Class Card would either change its mind and leave her alone or would, somehow, vanish into thin air. Unfortunately, neither of her wishes came true as the individual eventually reached her. They flipped their sword over to its flat side, raised it into the air, and swiftly swung it downward. However, right as their blade was about to make contact with the magical girl’s head, something threw a punch at their back that was so powerful that they were launched through several trees. Once the Class Card had left her field of view, Twinkle Snow Powdery Snow let out a powerful roar as her head looked toward the sky, causing powerful gusts of wind to release from her body and freeze Miyu’s injury, allowing her to get back on her feet.
“Illya! You saved me!” The black haired girl shouted as she ran to the Stand’s left and wrapped her arms around her friend while tears ran down her cheeks. “I-I’m sorry for running, b-but there was just no way I c-could’ve possibly fought against the Class Card alone and won.”
“There’s no need to apologize. Anyone would’ve done the same if they saw three of their friends get beaten with ease by that thing. But now that I’m here, the two of us should be able to defeat it if we work together.”
Miyu nodded her head. A few seconds after Illya had finished speaking, the Class Card began to walk through the holes in the trees that they had formed, heading toward the magical girls. Twinkle Snow Powdery Snow had managed to dent their armor, but not completely shatter it.
“Here it comes. Please, lend me your assistance, Miyu.”
“I’m not nearly as strong as you, Illya. But I’ll try my best to defeat it.” The black haired girl said, taking a deep breath to calm herself.
