Twilight of the Golden Witch: Difference between revisions

Meanwhile, Ange breaks into the [[chapel]] to retrieve the [[Book of the Single Truth]], the diary of 1998's Eva Ushiromiya. The diary is sealed inside a crystal, which Bernkastel melts. Using the key that BATTLER had given her, Ange unlocks and reads the diary. Upon learning the truth, Bernkastel takes Ange's key and Ange is returned to the moment in time frozen by Bernkastel during the [[Banquet of the Golden Witch/????|???? of ''Banquet of the Golden Witch'']] and plummets from a skyscraper, refusing to acknowledge the truth as she falls.

Ange's bloodied form eventually returns to the [[Golden Land]], where her family and the various supernatural beings had taken shelter. She reconciles with each of them. Sheand resolves to steal back the key that Bernkastel had taken. Lambdadelta uses her abilities to sneak both Ange and BATTLER into the [[City of Books]], wherein Bernkastel is planning a massive party that culminates in the public opening of the Book of the Single Truth. The Golden Land's gates are met by a vast number of ships ferrying more Goats intent on destroying the Game Board. The ships are led by [[Erika Furudo]]. In a ploy to stall the ships' attack and allow BATTLER and Ange enough time to steal back the key, Beatrice negotiates with Erika, claiming that Lambdadelta had provided several "powerful friends" to aid against Erika's fleet. This successfully stalls Erika for some time, however Erika eventually sees through Beatrice's ruse and orders her fleet to destroy the Golden Land. This results in a war between the army of Goats and everyone hidden in the Golden Land. After breaching the Golden Land, the Goats are quickly overwhelmed by the attacks of various characters. Erika is forced to retreat after being attacked by Kinzo, Krauss, Rosa, Kyrie, Rudolf, and Dlanor. The Goats slowly break and destroy the Golden Land while Beatrice tracks down and duels Erika.

Meanwhile, Ange, BATTLER, and Lambdadelta search for the key among the City of Books. They are nearly found by Bernkastel, however Lambdadelta buys time by confronting Bernkastel herself, allowing Ange and BATTLER to reach the key while she does so. Lambdadelta and Bernkastel prove to be evenly matched despite their respective immense powers. The fight is interrupted by Featherine Augustus Aurora, who orders Bernkastel to fetch the key. Lambdadelta attacks Bernkastel before she can do so, leading Featherine to pause time and rewrite this part of the story so that Lambdadelta is killed, though she is unsure as to what should kill Lambdadelta, resulting in her leaving some details blank. When Featherine resumes time, Lambdadelta is immediately killed by an unknown force. Erika appears and informs Bernkastel of Beatrice's defeat and the total annihilation of the Golden Land. A triumphant Bernkastel kills BATTLER and attempts to kill Ange, however she is stopped by Ange's use of Endless Nine.

Using her powers as the Witch of Resurrection, Ange revives everyone who had perished in the Golden Land, as well as Lambdadelta. Featherine congratulationscongratulates Ange on her victory. The revived BATTLER again gives Ange the golden key as two doors appear before her. Beatrice performs for Ange something similar to to what she had performed for Maria in previous arcs, wherein she produces a piece of candy after showing her empty hand. She asks Ange a question: Was it magic or a trick?

If Ange responds by saying Beatrice had performed magic, she opens one of the two doors. When Ange walks through the door, she is again returned to the point of time in the [[Banquet of the Golden Witch/????|???? of ''Banquet of the Golden Witch'']] wherein she is about to jump from a skyscraper. She steps back from the ledge and sits on the roof of the skyscraper. The bodyguards who had been chasing her catch up and she asks them for a cell phone with which to call [[Tetsurou Okonogi]]. She gives him ownership of the Ushiromiya Group in exchange for organizing a fake death for her so that she may live in private as a writer. [[Ikuko Hachijo]] announces at the convention of [[Witch Hunters]] that she has changed her mind and Eva Ushiromiya's diary wouldwill not be made public.
