With Caldia's Orb on Earth, Ginta takes Babbo's Gargoyle to Earth for the final battle. The two end up in Tokyo, where their battle eradicates the city and destroys a large part of the population. Snow's spirit, however, combines with Koyuki's to form one being, and by doing so removing the magical stone from Snow. Ginta uses the stone to create a more powerful Gargoyle that uses the hopes of MÄR-Heaven to defeat the Orb once and for all. With the Orb destroyed, peace brought to MÄR-Heaven, everyone who was killed by King revived, and Danna restored, Ginta returns to his own world with his father. At the very end, Ginta and Koyuki, who has fused into one being with Snow, walk home together at sunset. She clings to his arm and they both blush.

After Nanashi and Snow's death, Ginta, Alviss, Dorothy, Ian, and Ash discover King's plan to take over Earth. When King attacks, Ash becomes his next victim. He leaves behind a mysterious ÄRM.

The truth of Snow is finally revealed, that she is connected to Koyuki of Earth through the evilness of Diana, who planted a Magical Stone in Snow's mother to make it all happen. Using their connection, Diana plans to open a portal between both worlds.

Ginta finishes the fight with Phantom, and team MÄR searches for Pozun, needing his Andata to get to Lestava and rescue Snow. Jack, Chaton, Alan, Nanashi find Pozun's younger sister, Porin. Porin takes them to her village, and explains why Pozun was referee for the Chess Pieces.

As Alan's battle with Halloween rages on, Halloween unleashes his Grave Hail ÄRM on him. Once Alan defeats this and survives another of Halloween's waves of flame attacks, Halloween summons his Guardian, Wakan Tanka. Alan summons his own Guardian, which is capable of defeating Wanka Tanka and throwing Halloween to unknown whereabouts, making Alan the victor.

After Dorothy's death after the death of Diana, Ginta faces off against the Chess Piece King Danna-Orb. During battle, Ginta discovers that his father's soul was within Babbo all along while Caldia's Orb was in Danna's body. After Caldia's Orb is removed from Danna, Caldia's Orb takes on its true form and invades Earth.

After Alviss' death, Ginta, Babbo, and Dorothy head toward the stolen Caldian Floating Castle where King is hiding. Once there, Dorothy faces off against Diana. Once Diana is defeated and killed, King Danna-Orb arrives and kills her.

Alviss faces off against King and discovers that his identity is Danna Toramizu, Ginta's father and the one who helped save MÄR-Heaven six years ago. When Alviss was about to die in King's hands, he saw Rolan and Phantom, who encouraged him to stand up and fight, and so did Bell (although she did not know they were there). Alviss sacrificed himself by holding King down so that his ÄRM a Baoa Qu could activate and blow King (along with him) up. King escapes, but Alviss is severely wounded. Before dying, Alviss uses the last of his magical power to activate the ÄRM that Ash left behind. When Dorothy, Ginta, and Babbo leave to go to the stolen Caldian castle, Alviss thanks Bell and dies.

Ginta and Phantom finally begin their match. Just before this, however, Dorothy hands over to Ginta a new magic stone for Babbo. Ginta easily defeats Phantom's weakest Guardians, though once Phantom uses his Phantom Glass, Ginta is forced to listen to Phantom's shocking background.

Nanashi takes on Peta in his match. Peta's use of his blood-draining ÄRM combined with his intelligence is much more than a match for Nanashi.

Alan finally has his battle with Halloween. Some history is revealed between the two since childhood. Halloween also begins a killing spree with the spectators, severely wounding Alan when he tries to defend them.

When Weasel summons Yggdrasil, Jack tries to draw strength from his wish to avenge his father's defeat and surpass his father to defeat Vizel. Soon after Jack regains his advantage, Weasel summons a powerful Guardian, Bird of Rotten Wood that destroyies trees, easily defeating almost all of Jack's abilities. Jack, in a final attack, summons his second Guardian and defeats both Yggdrasil and Bird of Rotten Wood, besting Weasel and surpassing his father.

After Ian's defeat, Pozan announces that the final round of the War Games will be held weeks later in Reginlief. Gaira's Training Gate sends Team MÄR to Tokyo. After Ginta saves Koyuki from students of a rival school, Ginta encounters Jack as that gang's leader with no memories of Ginta. When Ginta aims at the ÄRM on Jack's forehead, Jack returns to normal. For some reason, Nanashi appears on a motorcycle and kidnaps Koyuki.

With authoritative clues about "the woman whom she must kill’’ obtained after the fight with Rapunzel, Dorothy goes back to Kaldea with team MÄR escorting her. They learn of the truth behind one of the more shrouded characters at the top of the Chess Pieces’ echelon, its Queen – Dorothy's exiled older sister Diana, Snow's stepmother empress of MÄR-Heaven's majestic kingdom Lestava thereat.

Ginta's clash with one of the two Chess Pieces, Ian, tends to favour the latter as Ginta's far too inexperienced and unequipped for the use of Babbo. As the situation necessitates it, Edward reverts to his second form, Alan, a man with yet to be revealed identity but much dreaded by the Chess members, buying Ginta enough time to unfreezes Snow and (accidentally) exchanges a kiss with her. In the middle of the confusion, Halloween, a Knight of the Chess Pieces – an acquaintance with whom Alan stays in discordance – arrives to summon his subordinates back for the Chess Pieces' official issuing of war declaration against MÄR-Heaven.

Soon after the confrontation with Alviss, Ginta & co. encounter Edward, a small dog-man introducing himself as the custodian of Snow, a princess currently fleeing from her stepmother queen, an insatiable woman who, out of desire for the world's throne, makes attempts on her stepdaughter's life to reign over the entire kingdom. On Edward's request to rescue the princess, who at the moment is dying inside a frosted palace, Ginta discovers that the girl bears an exact resemblance to his Earth friend Koyuki, and the minions Ian and Loco that the queen sends after the princess turn out to be none others than Chess Pieces.

Alviss’ arrival brings a dark secret to light: the existence of a rebellious military faction known as the Chess Pieces army, which 6 years ago came within an ace of conquering MÄR-Heaven before it was quelled by the world's guardians, the Cross Guard soldiers; and the need to dispose of Babbo due to its gory history of massacring people alongside the Chess un-dead commander, Phantom. Much persuasion, and even retaliation (though vain) is needed from Ginta to change Alviss' mind, including a promise to get stronger. Meanwhile, in a lightning-zapped graveyard, one bevy of masked warriors salutes a man, seemingly resurrected from inside his tomb, whom they addresses as 'no.1 Knight Phantom'.

Ginta has a rematch with Ian, who has risen to the rank of Knight since their last encounter. Ginta, however, is blinded by his anger of Snow's capture, and Ian is much stronger than he used to be. It is through Ginta's will to save Snow, however, that he defeats Ian and makes him realize revenge won't save Gido.

After aiding Dorothy on her ÄRM hunt, Ginta's forfeited the ownership of the dormant legendary ÄRM Babbo, a sentient weapon that is just as vexing as it is fabled. Ginta's and Babbo's bickering eventually leads to their newly founded company crumbling, landing Babbo in the hands of two ÄRM thief con men, Moku and Chapu. However their identity is quickly exposed, and after Ginta forcibly reclaims Babbo, the two reconcile.

Alviss faces off against Kouga, the weakest Knight, who is jealous at Alviss for looking handsome. Kouga stands little chance against Alviss, and Alviss wins through an incredible show of strength through the use of his new Guardian.

Alviss, Ginta and Dorothy head back to the castle to kill Phantom. They were stopped by Rolan, who said only Alviss could go forward with him. When both of them reached the throne room, Phantom, along with Candice, had disappeared. Enraged, Rolan tried to kill Alviss, but stopped when he heard the teen cry out in pain. Using a sharpened vine, Rolan stabbed himself to death, wishing that he and Phantom could meet again in a more peaceful reborn life. Alviss, Ginta and Dorothy heads off after Phantom. Candice tried to stop them from killing Phantom, but failed. When Alviss was about to kill Phantom, he hesitated, and Phantom plunged the Prifickave into his own body, thus ending his own immortal life, much to Alviss's shock. Alviss is freed from the Zombie Tattoo.

Team MÄR hold back Kapellmeister and the Ghost Chess from following Alviss into Clavier. During the battle, Sara's use of her Ghost ÄRM ends up destroying her. Seeing that his Ghost Chess members cannot defeat MÄR, Kapell absorbs them into his body in order to activate his ultimate Ghost ÄRM. MÄR quickly defeats him.

Girom, Kouga, and Pinnochion attack Caldia in plans to capture the Caldia Grand Elder. Dorothy and Ginta, however, show up and defeat the three.

The final round of the War Games begin. Jack battles against Weasel, the Chess Piece responsible for the death of Jack's father, Jake. Jack and Weasel are initially even, though when Weasel summons his Guardian, things begin to fall in his favor.

With all of Team MÄR reunited, Alan has come to a conclusion that they are not really in Tokyo, but in someplace that resembles Tokyo. Ginta ends up investigating while the others flee the police. Ginta ends up encountering what looks like, but isn't Kannochi and ends up fighting him

Alan is the next one to be rescued from the strange spell over Team MÄR. Alan has since taken the job of a detective, and Alan uses his powerful ÄRM to defeat criminals. Ginta and Dorothy create a case for him to solve, and free him, too, from the hypnosis. Meanwhile, Koyuki goes missing from Team MÄR's hiding place. Can Dorothy and Ginta free Alan and defeat a monster sent by a mysterious woman.

Ginta, Babbo, Jack, and Nanashi find Dorothy as a maid to a rich mistress. Now they must find a way to get Dorothy to remember herself.

When Nanashi is discovered to be a bike gang leader after being found weak without memory, Ginta and Jack end up helping Nanashi when a rival gang kidnaps the teammates of the gang that found Nanashi. With the gang defeated and Nanashi back to normal, finding the others is the next goal.

4th Battle, 5th round, ice field stage, Ginta vs. Girom rematch. Aqua's death has begetted a bout of wrath from Ginta, stripping him of reason and sensibility, thence his synchronization and strength drop considerably. Ginta's impending defeat warrants Babbo's forcible convincing, and eventually with Babbo v.5 Cushion Jelly conceived and realized, the Ginta vs. Giromu vendetta ends with Giromu's loss.

A filler episode. Ginta's team runs into John Peach, a loudmouthed boy claiming himself to be the hero that shall save MÄR-Heaven from under the Chess Pieces claws. He steals (thinking he's earned it) gold from some thieves who happens to have a strong spider ÄRM (who he later gets by accident). Peach, thinking he's the hero, challenges Ginta to a match which Snow later says will be a race. Stupid things happen, and Dorothy later explains that the spider ÄRM is really rare since no one uses it, because the spider is uncontrollable and to stop it, it has to eat the user. Peach activates it, and much to his avail, almost gets eaten by it. Ginta saves the day, and Peach says he'll get stronger.

Right on the first off-stage day MÄR enjoy their break, some hoodlums capture Belle for her fairy power and flee. However their getaway don't go that smoothly, for an enraged Alviss is not one to sit back watching others grab his best friend... or tolerate this deed leniently.

2nd Round, 1st battle, desert stage, Snow of MÄR and Fuugi of Chess Pieces duel. Snow's giant Snowman "Yuki-chan" slams quickly crush Fugi and his geographically advantageous Wind Arm.

2nd Round, 2nd battle, desert stage, Nanashi vs. Loco. The Rook's mastery of Darkness ÄRMs corners Nanashi (in its physical literality) into a paralytic position. Though he manages to beat his way out of it without killing the girl, the excruciating pain from her voodoo tools takes it toll and he loses.

2nd Round, 3rd battle, desert stage, Dorothy against Maira. Ignorant of his opponent's magic kingdom nationality and her inhumane notoriety, the Bishop challenges Dorothy with his amoeba Guardian Vacua, only to be devoured altogether by her Guardian dog Toto.

2nd target: Nanashi & Alviss dimension, Zonnen assailants: Venus & Jupiter. Nanashi and Alviss must learn to work together to beat them.

In the first battle of the 6th Round, Alan faces off against the cat-girl Chaton, the strongest Bishop. Unfortunately for Alan, he inherited Edward's fear of cats when he was still in him. Due to this Alan comically loses to the feline Bishop.

Alibaba resurfaces and captures Princess Reginleif.

Babbo is cracking and needs to be taken to Caldia to get repaired. Belle, Alviss, Dorothy, and Ginta decide to take Andarta to get there. Pinocchion shows up and attacks Dorothy, destroying her Andarta. Kouga shows up to fight Alviss, and Giromu attacks Ginta, almost killing him. Team MÄR defeats their enemy and continue on their way to Caldia on Ed's Magic Carpet.

Ginta, Dorothy and Belle approach the coliseum. They are met inside by the Misty Knights and Misty Hadju. When they refuse to leave, the Misty Knights vow to kill them. Meanwhile Loco swaps bodies with General so Chaton can be dragged into the prison to be with Alan. Alan and Nanashi have become test rats for a Ghost ÄRM experiment meant to remove the need for human emotions from Phantom. Just before the Misty Knights attack Ginta and Dorothy again, the ghost ship from Vestry arrives and advises the Knights that they have been fooled by the Ghost Chess. Ginta and Dorothy learn that Alviss himself will have to arrive before the path to Clavier will open.

Team MÄR head to the coliseum with Alviss. They are met there by the Ghost Chess, they fight to let Alviss through to the Clavier. Loco sacrifices the last of her magical power to save Chaton, and ends up as a baby. Alviss makes it to Clavier, where he meets up with a small boy, wanting to save MÄR Heaven. Alviss lets the boy take the ÄRM. (We get hints that the boy is actually a younger Alviss.)

As sunset dawns, the Chess Pieces soldiers, with Phantom assuming their command, grace their returned heyday by showering the whole MÄR-Heaven in a mass blood-bath. The emergency transmitted by Cross Guard troops throughout the world reaches Alan and Alviss as they discuss whether Ginta's potential can outdo the late Cross Guard general (also one man from Earth world), and Alviss departs in a hurry after scowling Alan for remaining on his post beside the Training Gate when MÄR-Heaven's in dire need of his help.

Now with Dorothy on their side, there lacks two more members to incorporate team MÄR which, according to Snow, will defend MÄR-Heaven in the Cross Guard's stead. On their way to Hild continent, Ginta & co. are ambushed by Luberia, MÄR-Heaven's most prestigious thief guild. Therefrom they meet and ally with Luberia's captain, Nanashi, whom turns out to be seeking after a man from Chess responsible for the assault at Luberia's base fort just before the war. In the faraway Lestava castle, the news of Ian's punishment for disobedience to command reaches him, his girlfriend Gido (also his companion on the search for Ginta) is to be executed in his place. Meanwhile on Earth, Ginta's mother is depressed about his absence, but Koyuki comes over daily to relieve her with the experience she has via her counterpart, Snow.

5th Battle, 5th round, desert field stage, Nanashi's round with his predetermined opponent the Knight Galian turns into a fated rendez-vous with the mysterious silhouette from his past. Nanashi's old Luberia times unfold with a noteworthy blank thread of memory that stores his true identity.

Following the instructions of an ÄRM dealer, Dorothy, Jack and Ginta accompany a young scout named Chibo on an expedition into the desert for ÄRM hunt. Unknown to the foursome, that ÄRM dealer is about as guileful as he's resourceful, and is currently plotting something sinister to treat their adventure.

3rd target: Dorothy & Snow dimension, Zonnen assailants: the Pluto – Uranus – Neptune. Even with all their mustered power, the three siblings can’t outmatch the princess and the witch united, and are eventually clobbered.

In Vestry and throughout the world of MÄR-Heaven, the Chess’ announcement of the War Game rings like death knell, gathering all its adversaries to Reginrave castle, stage of the preliminary round. However, aside from Ginta's MÄR team and Alviss of Cross Guard, none of the salvaged fighters gets out of it alive.

1st Round, 1st battle, Reginrave castle stage, Alviss wins his first victory against a Rook named Leno Rodokin. His Cross Guard past as a child is brought into light, including his fatal first meeting with Phantom, which has resulted him his cursed blemish, the Zombie Tattoo.

3rd Round, 1st battle, volcano stage, Alan wakes from his slumber inside Edward to combat the Rook Alibaba, who deliberately spars with Cross Guard's 2nd-in-command to ascend to Knight class. With little effort, he obliterates the presumptuous tyro's Guardian Genie's Lamp, showing him his place, and casually tosses him into the volcano for his disrespect.

1st Round, 2nd battle, Reginrave castle stage, Jack against Leno's Rook sister Pano Rodokin. The battle ends a comical loss on Jack's part.

Ginta's 2nd Chess adversary introduces himself as another Bishop-ranked psycho, Girom. Granting the request of the cave ghosts, Ginta resorts to his powerful v.3 Babbo Guardian ÄRM, Gargoyle, and defeats Girom, blasts the cave's blockade, setting the ghost free. In return, they presents him a key and a magic stone as a token of gratitude. Observing the scene, Tom switches off his façade and reverts to be the genuine Phantom, killing the loser Orco as he leaves.

As the meaning of resemblance between Ginta and the Cross Guard former captain Danna dawns on him, Gaira summons him and Jack back to the Training Gate. Meanwhile, Ian approaches Phantom and requests the same, Ginta's true capacity has precipitated the time he carries out his vow: to kill Ginta and Gido's punishment executor.

4th Battle, 4th round, ice field stage, Nanashi vs. Aqua. Although his thunder mastery overwhelmingly dominates her aquatic monsters, again it is his gentleman instincts that prevail; being witness to the fates of her unfortunate teammates, Nanashi deliberately pulls the fight a draw. However Rapunzel and her brother Girom are not blind, and even winning the rock-paper-scissor match, they still impale the little girl dead, much to Nanashi's horror. Ginta, full of rage, jumps in and attacks Girom for what he did.

5th Battle, 1st round, desert field stage, Snow the benign princess loses her benignancy against the contemptuous manners of Emokis, the more graceless one of three lvl. 1 Bishops. However she soon finds out to confront a first class Bishop rage is not one reliable stimulation, and the worsening situation invites the introduction of her new Guardian, Undine.

As the Knights continue bidding their time, Alan again sends his apprentice teammates into the training dimension, unaware of the Chess’ outlawed Zonnen's move of protest against Phantom's War Games. Their first target is the Ginta & Jack dimension, the duo Mars-Mercury as assailants, and the fight ends with goddess of victory smiles on MÄR's side for their valiancy.

Alviss is shown to be taking care of a girl named Kotomi in a hospital. He, too, has no more memories of MÄR-Heaven.

Alan's theory of Tokyo came true when Lilith has made herself known. Alan reveals that he, Gaira, and the Cross Guard met Lilith during the battle against the Chess Pieces and that her parents were the Legendary ÄRM Users that kept her village safe. When she was in the Cross Guard and training with Alan in the Training Gate, she used a Dimension ÄRM to leave. While Jack, Nanashi, and Alviss fight the ÄRM Plenu Ryunu and stone knights, Ginta, Alan, and Dorothy head into the gate to confront Lilith and find out why she is doing the things experienced.

Although at first, Dorothy stands little chance against Chimera, Dorothy manages to break off Chimera's skull mask, revealing Chimera's true identity, a woman. With Chimera's true face revealed, Dorothy learns the history behind the Chess Piece member.

When Peta starts to have the advantage, Nanashi is brought to the brink of death. Nanashi is only saved with a Holy ÄRM given to him by Alviss, leaving the two fighters with only their Guardians left. Nanashi manages to both defeat Peta's Guardian and destroy his Blood Body, effectively defeating Peta. With the last of his strength, Nanashi delivers the death blow and avenges Luberia.
