Tokyo Tower
I didn't arrive there until nightfall for reasons I will leave up to your own interpretation. It was better off in any case. The area was well lit from the luminance of the glowing tower that could be seen from damn near anywhere in the city no doubt. I was cautious of my surroundings bracing myself for anything. As far as I could see there was nothing other than various humans walking about the streets nearby and the sound of various vehicles driving by on the main roads.
I looked up and was met with a large glare directly above from where I was standing. It appeared to be a window of sorts. How strange. A sudden glow of light exploded through the window-like structure and before I knew it shards of glass began to fiercely rain down towards my figure. I quickly created a magnetic field around myself to keep from getting impaled. It was at that moment various other windows on that massive structure began shattering and raining down shards of glass. There was no escape from it. Several people around the building began screaming and fleeing for their lives. I didn't particularly care, nor make any attempt to save any of them from the disaster at hand. This was mostly because of the fact that they were the very beings I despised, humans, and furthermore beings of no use.
When the gleaming display of lethal rain stopped I gradually let my forcefield down, becoming significantly more weary than I was when I arrived here. I expected something unpleasant to occur but not nearly to that magnitude especially without even coming face to face with the enemy.
"How nice of you to finally show up."
I turned around to where a woman in a long dress stood with her arms crossed seeming completely unfazed by what just happened. So it seemed she had realized the disadvantage of her other attire from our last run-in and that amused me slightly. However, though slightly amused I didn't show it in the least. I was more preoccupied with the apocalypse that occurred mere seconds ago.
"What in the hell was that all about?"
"'That', was for keeping me waiting."
"Interesting, and here I thought we were at a point of being 'civil' with one another. Anyway, what in hell do you want?"
"Hmpht! Unfortunately, I have decided not to kill you, just yet anyway."
"Oh? Do tell why the sudden change of heart."
"It appears we have a common problem, and I might just have a use for you."
"Any proposition you have for me you can forget it."
"Even if that includes getting rid of Chaos?"
I narrowed my eyes at her. "While the thought has crossed my mind how exactly does this benefit you? And more importantly, how does that benefit me?"
"It rids me of an annoyance, and it rids you of whatever it is threatening to blackmail you with. In short, it rids us of a common enemy."
"An enemy? Is that not what I am to you as you are to me?"
"I did not say you were no longer an enemy. However, perhaps we could put aside our differences for this one exception."
"What about that 'star' business you accused me of?"
She let out a cynical laugh. "You are powerful, but you cannot possibly handle the power of true stars. I have seen this for myself first hand. It was after our last battle I finally figure it out, which leads me to have been right about you all along." A pause. "Chaos used our motives to pit us against one another, why, it surely had to have been in an attempt to get rid of me."
"What makes you so certain it was just to get rid of you?"
"I have my reasons that shall not be disclosed to the likes of you. Needless to say, all you need to know is that it has committed an act of betrayal against me that is unforgivable. Why on Earth do you think Chaos would seek out someone with the abilities you possess if not to try to destroy me? To destroy you?"
"I would not doubt it. With that said perhaps it wants to off both of us for whatever reason. I would not rule out being a threat as a reason."
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Will you consider working..." She hesitated before continuing. "together..." The very word seemed to be much of an effort to speak. "of sorts, to get rid of Chaos?"
I smirked. "It seems to me you are having a bit of difficulty asking."
"Will you, or will you not?" Her tone became impatient.
"What needs to be done?"
She smirked. I could tell this was going to be a long night and began to wonder what the hell I was getting myself into now.
