Cracked spread across the barren land.

The sky darken, displaying an ominous force replaced only with an even more ominous streaks of lightning running amok. The imminent threat make even the atmosphere feel thick and nauseous.

As the center of it all, where even the inner depth of the earth tear open, revealing the hot, viscous flow of the inner earth, two side was facing one another.

One side, simply said, is an abomination of nature. It's silhouette resemble a giant dead tree piercing the sky, but on it surface, dark, viscus-like tube was wrapping with each other, pulsing and convulsing as if it was living. It's thick root was puncturing deep into the ground and with every move of it vein, the ground become more cracked and barren. On one of it enormous branches, a shadow of a person could be seen, silently watching the other side.

"...So this is the final boss, eh?"

The one who said that was a fairly tall girl in her late teens. With her long golden hair swaying in the intense storm, she stand confidently, with one hand in her hip and the other shading her lightly tanned face against the sun, blocked by the tree's giant shadow, as she gaze her crimson eyes on it. She's apparently wearing a gray skin-tight body suit with white lining across the body , clearly showing her beautiful smooth body, light breastplate, utility belt and a long, jet black metal staff hollowed out, and have marble placed inside on both end strapped behind her back.

"Um...Shouldn't we be collecting the pieces first before we fight this ?"

The one who seem to object was a young girl look as if she was in her early teen. Unlike the other, she was wearing a white Lolita dress that's fit her nicely, letting the wind and dust hit her short and slim pair of arms and legs, with fair skin that's strangely hasn't lost it hue. On her head, a pair of horn could be seen, bending along the side of the head, and long silver hair swaying gently in the wind.

"C'on, what are you saying now that we meet the boss in person ? It's literally right there for us to beat it."

"But..."

"...Or perhap you want to fight that ?"

"...No way !"

"Then it's settled. I'll take the front, while you take the back, ok?"

Sighing dejectedly, the little girl slump her shoulder and resign herself. Seeing that, she then take out the staff, when the tip suddenly form a solid, black light spearhead.

"Sigh...couldn't you at least wait for the rest of our team to arrive ?"

"No way i could wait ! I mean... "

She then put her right feet out and lean her body to the front, preparing to dash her way straight to the tree.

" ... It's finally one step closer to my dream."

After that, she sprinted, like a bullet, to the base of the tree.

Seeing that entire scene, the shadow only think of one thing, while signing inwardly.

"...You idiot."
