**Blooming Madness: Dark Sakura** is a Wizard quest released for the 2nd Prisma Illya collaboration event for the Japanese version of *Crash Fever* (in the Japanese version, the quest was labelled as Ultimate difficulty instead).

The event also had a story quest associated with it, **Otherworld Clash: Prisma ☆ ALICE**; episodes 1-2 will be covered on this page, episode 3 will be covered on Roaring Thunder: God's Hammer, and the rest on Hidden Wish: Thorny Vines.

Some time after the events of Darkened Knight King -Excalibur-, several unknown people appear within ALICE. Among them are an insane girl admiring sakura blooms and looking for her senpai in one location, and in another an angry and annoyed girl wondering where she is and where a person named Julian is at. She decides to wreak the area around her in order to make it easier to see.

In another place, an unknown boy appears, annoyed at being sent there via spatial transportation. An unknown girl appears with him, and he asks her if she is hurt. She just responds that he doesn't need to ask something he already knows. He states that he needs to figure this situation out first, and suggests that they get moving.

At some point in time, the adapter is suddenly approached by Illya and Ruby, who are excited to have found them. Ruby mentions that it has been some time since they were last in ALICE, but have returned due to urgent circumstances. Along with those two, Miyu, Sapphire, and Chloe also appear, and apologize for the intrusion. Miyu asks if they can count on the adapter's help again, and the adapter agrees to listen to what the situation is.

Sapphire explains that a rival force to their own had accidentally ended up within ALICE. She notes that Illya was fighting against them as both sides used magecraft, and at some point and unknown energy similar to the "Magical Girl Power" from before had exploded from the conflict. She states that this had caused the rival force to be unintentionally warped to ALICE. Miyu adds that they tried to trace where they went, but that all traces ended upon entering ALICE. She remarks that trouble is bound to happen if they really did end up in ALICE. Chloe mentions that this is the reason they came looking for the adapter.

Alongside the others are two new people, Tanaka and Bazett. Tanaka essentially repeats what the others said but in a more confusing manner, and Bazett remarks that while her explanation is correct it is too difficult for someone who just met her to understand. Chloe just remarks that it is confusing even for people who have known her. Illya realizes that she hasn't introduced them to the adapter yet, and explains that Bazett is very strong and dependable. She thinks for a few moments about what to say about Tanaka, and just says that she has a unique personality.

Ruby bluntly says that Tanaka is just a stupid child, which annoys her. Bazett introduces herself, and mentions that she had heard about the adapter's skill from Illya. She states that they will see just how true that is going forward, though Ruby tells her to not be so doubtful. She then says that they ought to start investigating before any trouble happens. All of a sudden, an emergency alert from Usagi-chan appears, noting that an unknown user is causing destruction in the southwest area of ALICE.

Usagi-chan notes that the user has somehow taken over the administrative authority of the area and is using it to destroy data, and could lead to the complete destruction of the area if left unchecked. Usagi-chan requests that the adapter investigate and stop the situation. Miyu realizes who it might be that is behind this, and Illya says that they need to hurry up and get over there. Ruby states that, if it is who she thinks it is, the destruction won't end with just that area.

They arrive at the area, and Tanaka notices a girl in armor standing below a sakura tree. The girl speaks to a non-existent senpai, before promosing to clean up the trash in order to keep the place beautiful. Miyu recognizes the girl as Sakura Matou, and Chloe remarks that she doesn't seem sane. Many black sashes appear around Sakura Matou's feet, and Sapphire notes that they seem to be melting the surrounding data to convert into energy to absorb. Sapphire says that they currently can't stop the sashes, and the other girls say that they will have to avoid them. Bazett tells them to focus, as Sakura Matou begins to attack.

They battle against her, and manage to avoid her attacks. Miyu manages to deal a decisive blow against Sakura Matou. She begins to cry out in pain, before stating that her senpai is nowhere to be found as she freaks out and begs to not be left behind. She sinks into the black mud. Sapphire soon reports that there is no more sign of Sakura Matou being in ALICE, and Chloe asks if that means she returned to their world. Miyu admits that it isn't certain, but probably.

Bazett observes that, if Sakura Matou had ended up in ALICE, then the rest of the Ainsworths likely are as well. Tanaka proudly declares that she will stop the Ainsworths here, while the others just look at her weirdly due to her over the top demeanor. Ruby then mentions that she has detected a magical signature nearby, while Sapphire says that she also detected a signal in the opposite direction. She notes that they will have to split up in order to handle both.

Bazett states that they should make sure that both groups have equal strength, and suggests that Illya, the adapter, and herself are one group, while Miyu, Chloe, and Tanaka are another. The others agree, and Ruby remarks that the two teams should be "Team Ruby" and "Team Sapphire". Bazett asks why just "A" and "B" is not sufficient, and Ruby remarks that they ought to be more excited about things like this. She states that she could deliver a passionate speech about the subject, but they currently don't have the time for it. The two groups tell each other to be careful, and set out.

The story is continued in Roaring Thunder: God's Hammer.
