Alternative: Dark War
Ciel and Raabe arrived into a Phantom Field that was set in the Magister's City of Ishana prior to its involvement in the Dark War. Ciel found herself fighting against Another Dark Mai, and the two locked into battle. A person interrupted their fight, and Mai went to attack them - as this happened, the person subconsciously used Phenomenon Intervention. Mai was distracted so Ciel took the opportunity to escape with the person and run to a safe location. Ciel mentally connected with them and she learned that their name is Rei. Ciel promised to protect them after introducing herself. As Rei awoke, Ciel hurried them to their feet, hoping to get them out of harms way since monsters were flooding towards Ciel and Raabe as they were Contaminants within the Field. Kazuma Kval found the trio, recognizing Rei and asking them if they were okay. Surrounded, Ciel and Kazuma fought against the monsters until there were none left.
As the monsters evaporated, Ciel noticed that Rei was an Observer. Another Dark Mai leapt down near the trio, and Ciel hurried Rei behind her. As the trio had just been attacked by monsters, Ciel carefully approached Mai and asked her if she was an enemy. Mai did not take well to the question, instead introducing herself as a "villain" and threatening to stab Rei repeatedly. Ciel asked Rei that they don't Observe Another Dark Mai too closely, and that she will protect them from her. Mai threatened to kill Kazuma, Ciel, and Rei, so Ciel shifted to a combat stance and asked that Kazuma take Rei far from the current location. In that moment, however, Raabe used Phenomenon Intervention and moved the group away from Another Dark Mai and onto another section of the island.[1]
In the new area, Ciel noticed that Raabe had deactivated so started to hit it to try and reactivate it. Kazuma believed that they had been teleported, but Ciel clarified that it was just Phenomenon Intervention. Kazuma continued to probe, asking who Ciel is and where she is from. Ciel clarified that she was not from the island, but from the Mitsurugi Agency, who were investigating Ishana and an anomaly within it. Kazuma, having also noticed how different the island was to what he remembered, agreed to help Ciel in discovering the cauldron within the island. The group then moved further into the island to begin their search. Ciel listened in on Kazuma's explanation to Rei about Ishana and the Mage's Guild, but listening in had caused her to ignore her surroundings. She interrupted the explanation as the group were surrounded by monsters which they fought off.[2]
During the battle, Ciel and Rei summoned Units. Kazuma asked what they were, so Ciel explained: by using her ability to organize data and combining it with Rei's Observational powers, they are able to utilize Chrono Phantasma (Those Who Should Not Exist) to fight for them. In order to avoid the coming waves of monsters, the group headed towards north-east towards the island port where communications would be.[3] When they arrived, there were no ships, no people, and a communication device which was not working for mysterious reasons. A scream pierced the silence and Ciel, failing to convince Rei to stay back and out of trouble, followed the source of the scream, trailing behind both Rei and Kazuma.[4] After battling away more monsters, they found Trinity Glassfille. She introduced herself and explained that Ishana's barrier had disappeared, so she went to investigate, and that there was supposedly a secondary defence mechanism that causes Ishana to isolate itself in another dimension. Knowing that Another Dark Mai was currently stalking Ishana to find and kill the group, they decided to head towards the Great Library to find a way to deactivate the mechanism and get off the island.[5]
