===Toaru Majutsu no Index Movie: Miracle of Endymion===
She and the others first appear monitoring Meigo Arisa while she is with Kamijou Touma and Index in the batting cages.
She hides underground while Marie attacks Touma and company. Appearing from beneath, she quickly traps Touma in order for Marie and Jane to take him down. Despite their coordinated attack, they are unable to contend against the combined power of Touma and Index. She is blown away by the force of Imagine Breaker negating her magic.
She is later rescued by Stiyl alongside Marie, chastising them for attacking. They later aid Stiyl against the arrival of the Black Crow Unit or the Civil Affairs Resolution Mediation Unit commanded by Shutaura Sequenzia. They are utterly no match for them however, and are forced to retreat after Kanzaki Kaori demands them to.
Later, Mallybath alongside her partners kidnap Arisa at a local restaurant, and make a run for it in a car along with Stiyl. But they are pursued by Shutaura and her men. Though Stiyl manages to fend off most of their pursuers Shutaura overturns their car, making everyone inside fall unconscious, and prepares to re-capture Arisa. But Touma appears on the scene with some help from his teacher, Komoe. Touma tries to reason with Shutaura but plans to blow up everyone on the highway after recovering Arisa. Stiyl protects his students from the explosion while Touma gets the full blast.

When they reach the energy pillar, they are confronted by one of Ladylee's henchmen, the android Automaton. Mallybath steps in to fight her as she is concerned for Stiyl, but Stiyl pushes her aside as it is his fight. He quickly takes care of the situation with Innocentius destroying the pillar.
