Setsuna took out her spear and launched herself straight at Yuki who backed up when she saw the speed Setsuna was coming at her. She could barely dodge. Her hair was snipped a bit at the ends of her tip. That stab made her cringe and break into cold sweat. She knew if she stepped back too late the spear would be at her neck.
Her only thought was that was inhumanly speed.
'Nah, you think so. You challenged someone comparable to Travis the son of Ares who stampeded the Netherworld's S rank demons for 2 years until he wiped them out.' (Lin)
All of sudden she got a quick flash back from Lin's comparison and she felt a chill ran through her. She just backed up quick enough but was hit by the blunt end of Setsuna's spear staff making her cough out. It made her gasp for air, making her lose her balance.
Instead she swung her halberd downward towards Setsuna. Setsuna's eyes narrowed when she saw the halberd coming over her head. Her hands tightened her grip on her spear. Then she twirled her spear and unleashed her attack at the halberd.
"Twin dragon's roar." (Setsuna)
Yuki's spear took a spin in the air as her hand shook as the she saw two waves of dragons riding a wave towards her. Yet the aftershock of the twisting spear thrust made her lose her weapon. She was shocked that she had lost.
'I told you so. You challenged a immortal to a spar. Plus she's 2 million years old she had time to train. You didn't. Your childhood barely accounts to experience in my and her eyes. Your confidence sucks.' (Lin)
Setsuna changed the course of her spear making sure to not hit Yuki.
"What was that? You didn't have that before Setsuna." (Yuki)
"Oh this technique was made by me during the Min dynasty of 56 B.E. as they called it. It's supposed a long lost art I taught one of the generals in my amusement to pass time, seems playing chess isn't so boring either." (Setsuna)

Even those word left Lin stunned, cause she knew Setsuna's personality before this. She was shocked she almost cried out where did the real Setsuna go. When Setsuna was human as a princess she hated politics her father tried to teach her. Yet here she was saying she doesn't mind a little bit of chess. That she actually liked it making Yuki blink confused.
"What happened to make you say that." (Yuki)
"Oh sorry just reminiscing of my times in those ancient eras past. Just think of me as a dark hand that got rich because downfalls of kingdoms." (Setsuna)
She wanted to say are you sure your not the one that made them that way. But she kept her mouth tightly sealed since she didn't know what might set off Setsuna.
"Seems so. That's where she went. I'll be taking her with me." (Purple hair girl)
Yuki was shocked when she couldn't hear Lin or sense Lin inside her head. She felt alarms going off. Setsuna pulled her hand back when she saw the 14 year old girl wearing a fox mask. Rather she knew only one person who would wear that white and red fox mask. And she hope it wasn't who she thought it was. The girl vanished as fast as she came.
"Why'd you stop me she kidnapped Lin from me." (Yuki)
"She can over turn the whole city if she wanted to. If I hadn't seen that mask I would've allowed you to. She's also a immortal. Her nickname is Sol. As in the sun, she's raging like a shining sun and attracts all kinds of people to her. When I saw her mask even I could connect the dots. That person is Ling Yue." (Setsuna)
Yuki's head turned to where the girl was standing on the water fountain earlier as she recalled how the girl was dressed. She was wearing a light green dress that seemed to not be affected by the wind though it was freezing cold in the morning. They had just finished a spar and the little girl had taken that time when they were off guard to take Lin away. She seemed as mysterious as she had come but she knew if she wanted answers she had to go through Lin's memories when she split inside the worlds. A groan came out of her since it seemed to her Setsuna used that as common ground for her common sense.
"You know your abnormal Setsuna." (Yuki)
"She's Ling Yue." (Setsuna)
Yuki flinched when Setsuna dropped the bomb on her. Lin had just told them fighting Ling Yue was a no go because she wasn't sure if the person herself had her personal troops with her. Plus the girl was a assassin. She held her head feeling a coming headache knowing the first thing she should've done was gone through her memories she got from Lin when she warned both her and Setsuna the day before and in the morning.
