Introduction

Coincidence? Inevitable? Or miraculous? We see Fate guiding girls once again...

Story

A bright, intense, fun sequel of the magical girls starts stormy and full of drama!

One evening, Illya becomes a magical girl deceived by the skillful and witty talk of Magical Ruby that jumped into her bathroom. She ends up having to collect the “Class Cards” as told by Rin, the original owner of Ruby. Along with Miyu, the other magical girl and her rival(?), she gets hurt, crosses various paths, and fights hard battles to somehow collect all seven Class Cards. Illya and company were able to return to a quiet everyday life.

Then...

Several weeks after the collection mission, Illya and Miyu are assigned a new mission from Rin's group. It was supposed to be an easy mission that was merely pouring magical powers into an underground vein to stabilize it. But whatever went wrong, trouble spawned!

And that was the beginning of a new story...

Characters

Illyasviel von Einzbern
VA: Mai Kadowaki

A 5th grader that was turned into a magical girl after being deceived by Magical Ruby. Her potential as a magical girl was apparently high, and sometimes showed so much power that Rin and others were surprised. She loves her older brother Shirou, and is a very bright girl that tries her best at anything she does.

Miyu
VA: Kaori Nazuka

The other magical girl that has a contract with Magical Sapphire. Adept both academically and physically, she has high combat skills. It seems she is perpetually alone, and works as a live-in maid at Luvia's estate. She considers Illya a “lifetime friend” due to the growth of their friendship through battles.

Chloe
VA:Chiwa Saito

A mysterious girl that looks just like Illya. She looks like Illya after installing an Archer Card, but is the opposite with her dark tanned skin. The story of “Zwei!” will be told with her existence at its center...

.

Rin Tohsaka
VA: Kana Ueda

A sorceress that was the previous master of Ruby. A master of gem magic, she has enough skill to fight for the head of the class at the “Clock Tower” in London. She had stayed in Fuyuki City after her mission of collecting the Class Cards. She is like cat and dog with Luvia, but lives in her estate as a maid to earn enough to live.

Luviagelita Edelfelt
VA: Shizuka Itou

A sorceress that came to Fuyuki City along with Rin from “Clock Tower” to collect the Class Cards. She lives in a huge mansion that she built across from Illya's house. Her magical skills are strong, and collides against her rival Rin at each and every opportunity.

Magical Ruby
VA: Naoko Takano

One of the Kaleidosticks, which are special magical attire, which provides the user with unlimited magical powers. With clever use of language, it turned Illya into a magical girl. Always hyper, its hobby is to mock its master. Surprisingly functional in all sorts of ways; for example it can turn into a communication device.

Magical Sapphire
VA: Miyu Matsuki

One of the Kaleidosticks, the younger sister of Magical Ruby. Currently has Miyu as its master. Unlike its elder sister Ruby, it basically has a very polite tone of voice. However, perhaps its personality is similar at a fundamental level, as it sometimes gouges people's hearts out with cold blades of language.
