History[]
Out of annoyance that Ginta and Jack were not taking them seriously, the Flat Sisters activate Rotkäppchen Waltzer while battling them along the coast of Pultgayin Island. The boys were dumbfounded, but Ginta quickly snapped out it and countered it with Babbo's Version 3, Gargoyle. Rotkäppchen Waltzer uses its Finger Beam and Super Jet Punch against Gargoyle. Saint Anger joins in the fight against Rotkäppchen Waltzer, as Alan and Nanashi arrive on the scene. Gargoyle arm thrusts Rotkäppchen Waltzer down, and the girls receive a message from Sarah Band and Kapel Meister to retreat, as their mission to capture Alviss was successful.
Fighting with Dorothy, Ginta, and Babbo in the ruined city, they activate Rotkäppchen Waltzer and drop Apple Bombs upon the trio. Babbo changes into Version 3, Gargoyle, to even the playing field, but even in the test of size and physical strength, he's overwhelmed by Rotkäppchen Waltzer's and use of their Big Missile attack. Alviss, possessed by the power of the Zombie Tattoo, joins in the fight and like a rabid animal attacks Rotkäppchen Waltzer. They launch a Super Jet Punch at him, but he effortlessly repels the rocket fists with his 13 Totem Pole rod and jump attacks them, cancelling out the ghostly guardian.
The Flat Sisters activate Rotkäppchen Waltzer again to stop Alviss from ascending up the stairs to Clavier. They leap into the air to drop Apple Bombs upon all of their opponents. Alviss and Belle quickly outrun the explosives. Chaton dodges the bombs in front of her by backflipping, but is caught in the explosive force of a bomb behind her, sending her flying across the ground. Rotkäppchen Waltzer approaches Chaton as she lay unconscious, and attempts to step on her with two spikes protrude out from the bottom, but is stopped when Loco casts her Negzero to paralyze it, and uses her Straw Doll, Hammer, and Spikes one last time to save Chaton. As a result, she is reduced to a baby, but Rotkäppchen Waltzer dematerialized due to the shock.
When the sisters reactivate this ÄRM to fight back against Dorothy's Rock Giant Golem, Loco looks over Chaton's shoulder to observe. She realizes that the curse from her Negzero was still in effect on the Ghost Guardian, and now that she was de-aged back into an infant, was unable to remove the curse and noted that the girls trying to move while under the curse would be extremely dangerous. Nonetheless, the girls struggle, only to be forcefully ejected from Rotkäppchen Waltzer and deactivates, leaving the sisters in critical condition due to the side effects of using their Ghost ÄRMs too much.
