Alternative: Dark War
When investigating one particular Phantom Field, Mai came into contact with Ciel Sulfur and the two fought against each other. Ciel called her a puppet, but Mai was not phased. The two continued fighting until they were interrupted by Rei. Mai moved in to swiftly kill them, but Phenomenon Intervention occurred and Mai's blow missed. Confused and knowing that there was an Observer in the midst, Mai's attention was turned away from both Ciel and Rei. In that period, the two of them escaped.[1]
Another Dark Mai eventually caught up to Ciel and Rei, who alongside them included Kazuma Kval and Raabe. Ciel asked her if she was their enemy, but Mai did not take well to this, instead preferring that they call her a "villain". She taunted the group, saying that she was going to enjoy stabbing Rei repeatedly. Rei was beginning to Observe her, but Ciel stopped this from happening. As Mai launched more threats of killing the group, Raabe used Phenomenon Intervention to teleport the group to the other side of the island. This disheartened Mai, but it allowed to her to check out more of the island and continue with her objective.[2]
At some point, Dark Mai found Trinity Glassfille, the Observer of the Phantom Field, near her own workshop. Without hesitation, Dark Mai killed her, thrusting her spear through her chest. Due to the rules of the Phantom Field, this was undone and Trinity was resurrected with no recollection of her death. As an outsider to the field, Mai remembered the event. She then made her way through Ishana, down to its cauldron to lay in wait for her enemies. Finally, Ciel, Rei, Trinity, Raabe, and Kazuma arrived. Dark Mai taunted them and mocked Trinity's ability as an Observer since the cauldron was inferior to an actual one. When Ciel asked why Mai was in the Field, the response Dark Mai gave was that she was there to monitor information, but had stayed out of interest in both Rei and Ciel.
Another Dark Mai challenged them battle to sate her curiosity and to gauge their collective strength. As the battle ended, Dark Mai left by jumping through the cauldron, returning back to whence she came and exiting the Field.[3]
