Hello, everyone, and welcome to my third series for Loonatics (clearly, I have a problem, but it's just so fun!). Story disclaimer: this is not related to my Loonakids or L-Force stories (which are also unrelated to each other until further notice). Copyright disclaimer: I own nothing but Bliss, Tress, and Dark Mirror and the story itself, etc., etc. Anyway, read on! Enjoy!

Prologue

The day of the meteor strike…

A canine girl raced through a forest. She ran past a couple trees and into a dark clearing. She finally stopped running so she could catch her breath. If she had the Chain of Endurance or some other device from her collection, she could've done this easily. No such luck. She sighed and looked around. Her pursuer was nowhere near there. She saw this as an opportunity to sit down and rest.

That's when someone came out of nowhere in the shadows behind her and knocked her down. "Some princess you make, running from a fight."

She looked up from the ground, darkly. "I don't wish to fight you, Tress."

Another canine girl was standing over her. "Good luck with that. I do want a fight."

The first canine girl jumped up. "I'm not gonna fight my own—"

Tress smacked her. "Everyone calls you a dream come true for this world. They call Bliss a dream come true? Then I'm their worst nightmare."

Bliss looked at her. "You know this is a fight you can't win."

"Maybe…" She snatched the necklace Bliss was wearing and it shimmered in her hand. "…but it is one I can beat up." She kicked Bliss in the gut, knocking her down again.

Bliss quickly pulled out a dagger and sliced at Tress' tail.

Tress howled and yanked the dagger from her tail. Her tail was torn. "Oh, you're gonna pay for that."

While this kept on, someone in a white and yellow cloak was walking through the woods. They slowly approached the clearing and heard the fight. Upon hearing it, the person pulled down the hood to reveal herself as an aged-yet-young woman with pale skin and pale black hair. She headed toward the clearing.

Finally, Tress stopped. She held up the necklace and clutched something else in her other hand. "This isn't over, you know. This isn't the only world that our feud's gonna stick to." With that, she disappeared into the shadow. "Everyone will die…because of what you did."

Beaten, battered, and bloody, the young canine girl named Bliss lay curled in a ball on the forest floor, half-conscious.

That's when the woman in the cloak came into the clearing. She saw the problem and raced up to her. "Bliss…wake up…" She sighed. "Tress did this." She shook her head. Then she thought of something. "Now's a good time for a little magic." She laid a hand on Bliss' side. "Sleep." That's when Bliss drifted entirely out. "You will awaken a year from now." She looked down the forest in the direction Tress had left. "That ought to throw her off your scent." She turned back to Bliss. "Neither of you can stay in this world now. She spoke true. This world will only be destroyed should the fight continue here. You should both be in a world devoid of magic, a world where you don't belong, where the territory is unfamiliar and not as much damage can be done. Acmetropolis." She nodded with a new idea. "You both go there now. Asleep. A year from now, to the day, you will both be awoken. There are people there, healers of a sort, who can help you. And Tress will not be able to harm you further. I will visit you to protect you. But to protect you until then…you must not remember anything of this world. Forget. Everything." With that, she took her hand off of Bliss and clapped it to her other one. And Bliss was gone.

Tress, walking through the forest, suddenly collapsed and disappeared as well.

The cleric woman knew her spell had worked. "Good luck in Acmetropolis, girls."

The two girls reappeared on opposite sides of the city-planet, both unconscious and unable to be awakened.

That's when the meteor struck. And the shock wave hit them both.

A few hours later, the paramedics were collecting victims. One team found Tress and took her to a hospital. Bliss was never located. The whole time of their sleep, Tress and Bliss both had normal heartbeats and blood flow, even if a little slower than normal. They simply wouldn't awaken. That is, neither awoke in 2772…

Oooh...wonder what's gonna happen, huh? Well, you'll have to wait until chapter one, won't you? *eerie theremin music plays in background* Uh, wrong genre, buddy. *slapstick music plays in background* Still wrong. *"High School Musical" starts playing-* OK, remind me to hire a new sound guy. See you later!
