Resurrected Curse: Ancient Princess

"Resurrected Curse: Ancient Princess" is the fifth episode of the first season of the Queen's Blade anime.

Story
Leina is missing, swept down the river at the bottom of the ravine, and Echidna goes searching for her. Leina has been enslaved by Menace inside her pyramid. Tomoe and Shizuka approach where Menace is holding Leina, in the Queen's Capital. A sandstorm appears and Leina, still possessed, attacks Tomoe and Shizuka. Nanael appears and turns this into a Queen's Blade round between the possessed Leina and Tomoe. Tomoe and Nanael become trapped in a pyramid with many booby traps. However, Nanael manages to escape by finding a hole in the wall. Just as Tomoe is about to drown in a water trap, Nanael returns to witness Tomoe use her sword to wedge open a brick in the wall and drain the water out, encountering Leina after she escapes. Tomoe manages to break the curse on Leina, causing Menace to attack Tomoe and causing the bridge they are standing on to crumble, with Leina falling into the abyss below. Shizuka rescues Tomoe from Menace, and explains to Menance how her kingdom failed because of the failure of the princess without realizing Menace was that princess. Menace, through her anger, causes the pyramid to self destruct, and Tomoe, Shizuka, and Nanael are washed outside as it is destroyed. Menace states her intention of resurrecting the Kingdom of Amara.
