Prologue

"It was always going to end this way, you know."
"Ha ha… Yeah, I know. Well, nice knowing you, and… Make sure… Make sure they remember, will you?"
"Of course."

Chapter One

Gold-Black and White-Purple

Evening. The gold sun hangs low in the sky, near to dipping below the horizon. Two women float above a forest, staring at each other. One: a formless white hat, with a red ribbon and frills; tall and thin; an ankle length white dress, multilayered; a long strip of purple cloth down her front, fastened around her neck, turning orange at the bottom; blond; smirking. The other: taller and thinner; a large cape, gold on one side, black on the other; a gold breastplate; thick leather leggings, with gold greaves; blond; scowling. The sky tints orange and Gold-black glances at the sun, wincing while White-purple's smirk grows wider.

Damn. If I don't finish this now, I'm not gonna get another chance. We've been fighting all day; I only hope she's too exhausted to dodge. That reminds me, perfect time to use that card my friend gave me. A sound, like distant thunder mixed with wind, and Gold-black shouts "CHI SIGN - NOW OR NEVER. DIE, BITCH!" Gold-black, glowing with rainbow-colored energy, flies at White-purple.
"You're too quick for your own good, Lucianna", White-purple says, as the sound occurs again and a gap opens in front of her.
"GODAMMIT YUKARI!" Lucianna screams, moving too quickly to stop before crossing through the gap.
"Maybe you'll finally learn over there. I just hope you don't cause too much trouble." Yukari says, as she closes the gap.
