So... part 4 of Story Mode: Aria! As I mentioned in the Nocturna video, I figured if problems arose in this Story Mode run, they'd probably happen for either Nocturna (still getting used to her final boss battles)... or Aria. The Nocturna run went relatively smoothly. The Aria run, however... ^^;;

A quick summary:
5-1: Initial Potion
5-1: Quaffed. =/
5-2: Ring of Shielding! =)
5-2: Shattered. =(
5-3: Found another Potion! =)
4-3: Quaffed. =p
3-3: Glass Armor...
2-1: Shattered. ^^;;
2-2: Frost Charm...
1-4: ...survived the final battle! ^^

Interestingly, this actually wasn't my worst Aria win ever (I'm pretty sure I've had a run where I lost 5 or 6 protective items!)... but the fact that it was at the end of a 4-character Story Mode run (losing meant having to start completely over, with Nocturna)... definitely made it more stressful than it otherwise would've been. ^^;;

So anyway, here it is... Part 4 (Aria) of my first ever 4-character Story Mode win! Hope you enjoy!
