Iris aims to carry out her revenge on “Yuri,” a being who slept within the Eternal Crystal. On Earth, Iris and Kyrie sought the aid of Kyrie’s sister, Amitie Florian.
Three souls, Dearche, Stern, and Levi, were summoned by Iris.
The three magical girls of Earth, Nanoha Takamachi, Fate T. Harlaown, and Hayate Yagami, must come together to stop Iris.
