Black Waltz, White Waltz and Azure Resound arrived at one of the towns. They got off their horses, their gloves had been tightened. Seeing the large number of forces moving around. The Jade Principality had carbines, sniper rifles, assault rifles. They had machine gun placements all around the town's area. Erecting walls made of magic reinforced steel. So magic was out of the cards not that the three Ensemble had magic to begin in the first place.

"Machine guns huh? They seem to like all those heavy guns." Azure Resound bellowed as he shouldered his scythe, humming to himself while Black Waltz and White Waltz put on their masks. The black mask that was plain and white porcelain mask.

"Soul bind." Black Waltz and White Waltz spoke in unison. Black Waltz readied a pair of shotguns while White Waltz readied a pair of axes. Then they were swapping different weapons. Confirming their weapons to synchronize their tactics one another. Changing the weapons carefully while Azure Resound just kept staring at the distance.

"A fine day for a little show. So what should we call today's piece?" White Waltz's hummed together with her brother while Black Waltz readied a pair of shotguns while White Waltz drew her axes.

"Orange Redness. An orange sky and we're about to paint the town red." Black Waltz said as the three of them began their march to the town. The machine guns began to fire, as Black Waltz and White Waltz let go off their weapons as they held hands. Waltzing through the gunfire, with the rhythm of the gunshots being their music. Azure Resound tap danced through the gunshots as they headed closer. 10 soldiers in uniform pointed their rifles at the Ensemble Trio. Black Waltz twirled his lover to their direction.

"Stop! Do you want to be shot! This place is the rightful jurisdiction of th-" Three heads flew into the air, two soldiers took aim at White Waltz, only for their heads to be blown off by Black Waltz.

"Brother. If you would be so kindly?" Azure Resound bowed to Black Waltz and White Waltz before cutting the gate in half. Walking straight in with guns pointed at them. A few tanks were aiming at their direction.

"Sweet heart. Requesting a target."

"How about those gunmen upstairs. They'll throw me off my tempo. Brother, can you take care of the tanks?" Azure Resound went after the tanks, slashing them in half. Where the men inside the tanks were exposed to Azure Resound switching to a pair of sickles, ripping their limbs off. Black Waltz fired off slugs from his shotgun. The gunmen up high was sent flying by the shots. Mists of red splashed all over while White Waltz continued to chop through the soldiers like lumber.

"What!? What the hell are they?! Bullets can't work!?" They began with their dance, their weapons made a melody of violence. The soldiers fired as dragon knights joined the fight to strike at White Waltz, she stepped back dodging the elemental missiles flying over at her.

"Honey!" White Waltz flipped backwards, where Black Waltz fired off a light machine gun in hand. Blasting the magic missiles away with the bullets from the machine gun. Swapping over to a double edged sword, Black Waltz charged ahead with the blade. Multiple swings that slash through the limbs of the dragon knights, a kick that sent a dragon knight flying. White Waltz sprang off with a pair of short swords, piercing the dragon knight's chest. Kicking the body down as she swapped to a pair of maces. Diving down to crush the heads of the soldiers below.

Azure Resound danced through the gunfire while tap dancing to a rhythm he was humming, using his scythe to reap their legs off. Broad swings that filled the air with screams of these soldiers. Their bullets were useless, their magic was useful but it didn't even hit any of them. They were just that good.

Black Waltz was going after the dragon knights, cleaving them in two with his sword, parrying attacks away as his left hand drew a shotgun. Pointed right at a dragon knight's face. A single shot as a fountain of red spewed, drawing out a lance to mow down the column of soldiers in one stroke. White Waltz swung a two handed axe.

"The lumber's looking fight honey!" Black Waltz chuckled at hearing that while Azure Resound was scoffing at the pun.

"Sheesh. You might as well just tell me to start harvesting these bodies anyway." Azure Resound joined in on the fun of puns as Black Waltz kept on chuckling eventually laughing as he kept dodging the bullets. Then swapping the lance for a pair of pistols, firing off shots into the wings of the dragon knights that fell to the ground where Azure Resound leaped into the air to take his prey. Leaping over the corpses to reach the last dragon knight who was in the air. A single swing was enough to tear the body in half. As for the landing?

Azure Resound landed on a soldier's shoulders, then springing off to cleave more of them. Joining his sister on the front lines as they continued their solo performance of slashing. Painting the town walls in red, leaving cadavers in their wake. The morale of the Jade Principality was already breaking. Black Waltz, White Waltz and Azure Resound went to the middle where their backs were facing each other. Black Waltz drew his pair of shotguns while White Waltz readied her revovlers and Azure Resound pulling out chakrams. Unleashing a tornado of bullets and blades.

Magic was used to stop them, using gravity to crush them. Only to watch as the three of them dodge the area of affect, eyes scanning for the caster. Azure Resound found the caster first, a woman in a robe.

"That was rude of you to interrupt our little performance." Azure Resound said as he slashed her throat with the chakram, then throwing it aside as his scythe materialized by his side. Shouldering it as the soldiers lowered their guns, raising their hands to surrender themselves to the trio of the Ensemble. Black Waltz and White Waltz went inside to check on the bodies. Finding corpses of everything not human, massacred in their own houses. House after house they searched while Azure Resound was glaring the soldiers down into submission, burying their heads to the ground. Unable to meet the gaze.

Black Waltz stepped inside of a house, seeing a family of three demons who had their limbs cut off. Their heads placed on the dishes by the table, a troubling sight. Their guts had been put on a stove. Whoever that did this truly did not have an ounce of mercy. Black Waltz could feel the sight bother him but even then it wasn't enough to make his stomach squirm. Stepping out where he could see White Waltz's anger manifest on her mask.

"What did you find, honey?" His question to her, as she ran into his arms.Patting her back as she sobbed in his arms. Azure Resound clenched his fists as he looked at the soldiers that surrendered.

"Children... All cut up to pieces." Azure Resound let out a sigh, as he tried to reach Albert.

"Lord..."

"Forget mercy. These bastards don't deserve it. It's one thing if you kill them all quick and easy. It's another thing when you start torturing them." Albert's words granted Azure Resound what he needed.

"Our master says forget mercy." The Trio of the Ensemble were going to give a beat down to the Jade Principality soldiers.

"Wait! We have rights! You c-" The screams were the last melody before this entire town went into silence. The three of them scavenged the nearby military rations to eat and replenish their strength. Black Waltz lifted his mask as he lit a cigarette followed by White Waltz who shared the light of Black Watlz's cigarette for her own. Standing outside to look at the oncoming Holy Church's crusaders and paladins clad in full armor. Their war priests who were ready to cast magic, their dragons and wyverns were encroaching.

Black Waltz threw his cigarette as he drew out a great sword where White Waltz readied her pair of axes. Placing his left hand to the broad side of the blade as White Waltz and Azure Resound stepped on it. The great sword was going to be a launch pad for these two, launching them up in the air as Black Waltz went straight into the battle. Swinging the sword down, cracking the ground as the unsuspecting crusaders and paladins felt the impact. Three Paladins used magic barrier to stop the great sword attack.

"You... You're a Human! Why are you doing this?!" Black Waltz didn't answer as he shattered the magic barrier with a second downward swing. Pulling out a pistol, driving into a Paladin's mouth. Decimating the skull, as he grabbed a Paladin by the shoulder. Separating the arm from the torso, crushing the paladin's skull with their own arm.

The dragons and wyverns descended down below to attack Black Waltz, only to have their heads cut off by Azure Resound and White Waltz. Leaving bombs on the bodies of downed dragons and wyverns, crashing as the explosions left most of them in a daze. Black Waltz zig zagged through the crusaders, katana in hand. A fast draw, tearing through dozens of them within seconds.

Azure Resound swung his scythe to the crusaders. Some of them manage to block it with their shields, but that didn't stop their limbs from being claimed by Azure Resound. Another scythe took away their other limbs, and Azure Resound smiled as his clothes had been stained scarlet. A wheel of death, as the crusaders and paladins that were within reach had been grinded to their deaths. Chunks of meat flying into the air. The metals of their armor had conjoined with their flesh. Black Waltz on the other hand was not showing mercy, the high speed slashes from his katana was enough to leave piles of meat and metal on the floor. They felt the anger because of what they had seen and being given the right to negate mercy upon these groups?

'Black Waltz combat skill : Dancing Rage'

'White Waltz combat skill : Waltz Frenzy.'

'Azure Resound combat skill : Finale.' The atmsophere changed as the soldiers, dragons, crusaders and paladins looked at them. Seeing Black Waltz's mask shatter with weapons flying out from his gloves. Forming a circle over him. Seeing Black Waltz's skin turned midnight black, his left hand reversed wielded a sword. His suit was all black and his eyes glowed white.

White Waltz's mask shattered as she was blanketed in a white light, her eyes glowed black, as her weapons ejected all around her. Black Waltz and White Waltz began to float in the air.

Azure Resound's body turned blue with a mask forming over his face. Wielding a pair of scythes that had a freezing glow over them. The three of them went to cause chaos. Their attacks were nothing short of demons in the eyes of the crusaders. They swung their blades at them, used magic, even had a High Angel on their side. Only for them to watch as the High Angel had their wings clipped by Black Waltz, White Waltz breaking through the armor and Azure Resound reaped the High Angel's head.

Then the three of them became nothing short but a blurr.

"Mana detection! Come on! Where are they!?"

"Sir, we can't find them! They don't have mana!"

"What do you mean they don't have mana! Focus on keeping the a-" The commanding officer's limbs flew into the air. The officer was looking at his men while he was upside down. Then seeing Black Waltz who caught the commanding officer by the head, glaring at them. Seeing the veins over Black Waltz's temple and some bulging out near his eyes. The officer could not say a word. They used holy blessings, anti-curse, heaven's blade and various other magic of the light elemental to strike the three of them.

It left an impact, a large cloud of dust and nothing was there.

"We won!" A premature thought that had ended when they turned to the angels. Falling down from the sky, their clipped wings fell in front of them, but as they tried to heal themselves. Their fingers would fly into the air, then a hammer that would shatter the entire face. A great sword to cleave the angel in two.

"You're mere mortals! You insignificant sp-" The angel's words had been cut as a result of White Waltz smashing the angel's entire body, enough force to turn the angel into a cube.

"How dare you do this to one of God's servants you wi-" Black Waltz placed his hands by sides of the angel's head.

"Care to repeat that statement to my wife?" The angel kept quiet, that sentence alone served as a call to violence. Inviting them to their deaths.

"Is this what they call an angel idiot sandwich?" Black Waltz crushed the angel's head, while Azure Resound pulled out some wires to tie the angels together.

"Then we also have the angels that have to dance for us." The angels limp bodies were moving in accordance to Azure Resound's directions, twirling with lack of enthusiasm but towards the end of their little performance. They severed their own heads, where Azure Resound leaped to the back as large lances appeared in front of him.

"Evil doer!" The voice was a black haired woman who readied her blade, her companions at the back were other humans with bladed weaponry.

"My name is Mitsuki! I will cut you down!" She swung the blade at Black Waltz who reverted back to his suit, stopping the blade with his hand. A punch that sent her flying.

"Don't kill her or her companions." Black Waltz shattered the sword she wielded. Then throwing a katana at her direction.

"You've got an Eastern name, the kind that speaks katana to me. So grab your sword. Try not to bore me." Black Waltz said while White Waltz and Azure Resound engaged her companions. A shield to stop White Waltz's mace, a dagger from the right to stab White Watlz's shoulder and a magic spear to stop her from evading. She let go off her mace, drawing out a hammer, a single swing to push all three of them back in an instant.

Mitsuki dashed at Black Waltz, swinging the blade in fast swings. An attempt to overwhelm Black Waltz, she had strength, she had speed. She was literally swinging and shifting to pierce attacks in an attempt to break through Black Waltz's defense. He was dodging with his hands by his pockets. The most bored expression a human could wear was on his face, even with a weapon at Thorn sharpness. It seems that sharpness doesn't matter if the blade doesn't hit.

"Why!? I was chosen by the Goddess!? Why can't I beat you!? If you're this strong! You should use your powers to serve the other humans to stop against the evil monsters!" Black Waltz ignored her ramblings as a cigarette reached his lips. Where White Waltz fired a shot to light it up for her husband as she kicked the trio of three companions back.

"Thanks honey." White Waltz smiled, as she blocked a dagger and kicked them to the wall.

"Monsters are evil? Who decided that?" Black Waltz said as he put his hand over her head.

"Take a good... Long look at what happened to the so called evil." Black Waltz said as Mitsuki's began to suffer a seizure because of the reconstructed scenes of what had happened here to her head. The screams, the agony that they suffered. Something that Black Waltz had imbued in his glove thanks to the 5th Bellwitch, memory reconstruction of the scenes based on the facts.

"The Hero's fallen! Retreat! Retreat!" The invading force turned their backs on them, fleeing away. Azure Resound, and Black Waltz knocked the other companions out.

"So what will we do now?" Azure Resound asked as he joined his sister to tie these people up in special rope that wouldn't break unless the Lord of Thorns break it themselves.

"Why the change of heart?"

"Information. We find out the goddess that suddenly spurred this fight. We might get more answers. Besides, aren't you interested to see what the Jade Principality has? Oh and by the way. Why the fuck are you guys still hiding in the corner?" Black Waltz raised his voice as they see the other 7 members of the Ensemble.

The Violet Haze, wearing a purple long coat with black suit. Long black hair that reached her hip and a killer smile.

Harrowing Promise, a figure that wore a black skull mask and held a cane in hand.

Everlasting Crusade, black suit and a horned knight helmet wielding a long sword.

Blind Linguist, white suit with a blindfold tied over her eyes and she held a suitcase.

Gray Hound, a purple haired figure who wore a suit that had shoulder capes fixing his gloves.

Lasting Regret, wearing a gas mask. A gray suit, shouldering a sniper rifle.

"So you guys had been waiting this whole time? It would have been much easier if you guys were here!" Azure Resound complained.

"The Maestro said he wanted it to be a surprise. We've been watching, just waiting for the Maestro to let us join you. I'm sure we'll have another set of audience coming soon." Violet Haze said as they walked on over to their side.

"Well, it's good to have you all back."

"It's been a while since we could go all out. The Lord... The Maestro of Thorns really wants to give us a nice warm up... So I guess we'll wait for our guests. Then we can show them what the ensemble can do." Harrowing Promise said with a proud, deep voice as they waited for their audience that will be coming over in a day or two.
