Toaru Majutsu no Index II Episode 19

Synopsis
The intruder, none other than Vento of the Front, walks towards her next destination. She uses Anti-Skill's radio to contact the Superintendent of Academy City, and tells him that she has singlehandedly destroyed three members of the Board Directors. Calm as always, Aleister tells her that they are disposable and has many replacements waiting to be appointed.

Aleister continues to comment on Vento's naivete, calling her advance as insufficient to be called as penetrating Academy City's defenses. Nonetheless, Vento declares her plans to destroy the enemies of the Roman Catholic Church... "You (Aleister Crowley), Academy City, Imagine Breaker, Index, everything!"

As Vento destroys her link with Aleister Crowley, he decides that, although earlier than expected, he shall activate one of his plans... using Last Order and Fuse=KAZAKIRI to destroy Vento of the Front.

"The long-awaited fun, fun showtime begins."
