In a rocky cave, Noel Vermillion arrives to check the surrounding area before walking deeper into the cave as she stops but turns around to dodge an attack that was fired at her as she looked to the source of the attack to reveal Aigis on top of a rock pillar as she jumped down to combat the Azure's Successor.
Aigis: Target firing!
Aigis then launches her missiles from her Pandora Missile Launcher at Noel as she dodges them before delivering an attack that ends with Noel kicking Aigis back before running up to her to deliver an overhead kick, but Aigis catches it and uppercuts Noel into the air and kneeing her.
Aigis: Firing!
Aigis then shoots two more bullets at Noel but jumps out of the way and starts shooting Aigis with Bolverk before Aigis counters with a sweeping kick and an uppercut as she gets into the air with Noel running towards her as Aigis drops a flashbang grenade.
Aigis: Try this!

Aigis: Firing rocket!
Aigis fires her missiles as she dashes towards Noel as she uses her Revolver Blast to destroy the missiles as Aigis comes up to her but gets distracted when she starts to overheat which gives Noel a chance to hit Aigis as she gets sent crashing into a pillar before Noel kicks Aigis through the pillar as she jumps into the air before bringing out her own missile launcher.
Noel: Thor!
Noel then fires Thor at Aigis but she was able to summon Athena to defend her as it connects before the screen becomes white as it changes to Aigis falling down deeper into the cave as she notices Noel was in pursuit who then process to kick Aigis and use Bullet Storm to hit her.
Aigis: Persona!
Aigis summons Athena again as she launches her spear at Noel but manages to dodge it as she keeps attacking Aigis which ends with Aigis throwing a boulder at Noel as she manages to get her footing on a foothold before Aigis destroys it and summons Athena to send Noel falling down into the cavern but fires a rocket after her before giving chase. Noel crashes onto the ground as the rocket hits her and sends her offscreen.
As Aigis lands on the ground, a shockwave of blue smoke blows into Aigis as she wonders what that was before Noel, who had just transformed into Mu-12, kicks her before following Aigis as she dodges the first slash but gets hit by the next slash before sending Aigis back with Sword of Decimation as she crashes into a diamond before narrowing dodging Mu's attack which slices the diamond while Aigis gets into the air.
Mu-12: You cannot escape!

Aigis: Machine Gun!
Aigis fires her machine gun as Mu uses her blades to block the bullets before Athena hits Mu to break her guard as Aigis kicks her into the air as she gets above her.
Aigis: Go down!
Aigis sends Mu crashing onto the ground as smoke covered the field as Aigis was looking down to see if her opponent hadn't gotten back up.
Mu-12: Ineffective.
Mu then blows the smoke away as Aigis sighs that her opponent wasn't finished yet.
Aigis: Presuming!
Aigis charges at Mu again but notices that she was beginning to overheat once more but ignores it to keep charging at her opponent.
Mu-12: Analyzing target.

With the battle over, Mu then reverts to her human form once more before she falls to her knees as she was exhausted from the battle.
Trivia
Production
- The core connections between Aigis and Noel are that they are both blonde artificial females who were created by shadowy organizations (the Kirijo Group and Sector Seven, respectively) to fight the influence of a dark being (Nyx and the Black Beast, respectively). In addition:
- Both have accepted their roles over what they had started with (Aigis started out as a robot who followed orders but later developed human emotions while Noel lived most of her life as a human before learning and accepting her true self as a Murakumo Unit), befriended and formed close relationships with the main protagonists of their series (Makoto Yuki and Ragna, respectively), and inherited their abilities when they passed away (Aigis inherited the Wild Card from Makoto and Noel inherited Ragna's Azure abilities).
- Both found new purposes in life relating to their friends after experiencing life-changing events (Aigis wanting to continue her relationships with her friends and Noel deciding to live for her friends) and at one point, had split off a part of themselves due to a traumatic event but later reunited with them (Aigis separated her human emotions to escape the burden of Makoto's death which later became Metis while Noel separated herself from Mu-12 as well as her memories after seeing the Gate inside Ragna when he became the Black Beast).
- Both wield firearms and have access to a super mode that increases their powers (Orgia Mode and Mu-12, respectively), sealed their world's incarnation of "Death" in their stories (Aigis sealed Death inside Makoto when he was a young boy while Noel sealed Hades Izanami inside herself).
- Both are also members of a team (both SEES and the Shadow Operatives and Team Remix Heart, respectively).
- Both also made an appearance together as playable characters in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, with Aigis being DLC and Noel being playable in the base game.
- Years after this episode's release, Therewolf Media would make a track for this matchup called "Eye of the Angel" as part of his "What If?" commission tracks.
- This makes it the second DBX episode to receive its own commission track after its release, after Ness VS Sans, and with the next one being Bendy VS Cuphead.
