'It's gonna be ok. You'll be alright. You're strong.' the girl thought to herself, pacing back and forth nervously.

The girl's fox tail swinging lightly behind her. And her fox ears held back and flat against her (h/c) hair.

The girl was supposed to be at the top of the tall building, although she had yet barely stepped a few feet into the building.

The girl carried no weapon. Or no visible weapon anyway.

She seemed quite nervous, contrary to the words of confidence coming out of her mouth.

"It's alright. It won't end like the last war. Everything's alright." the girl said aloud, as she took a deep breath.

"Yo, (Y/n)!!" a voice suddenly called out to the girl from behind her, as she then began to cough from choking on air.

"You alright?" another voice, similar to the other, said soon after.

"I'm alright Snake. I'm not as nervous as you may think I am." the girl said with a fake air of confidence.

"Umm, I'm not Snake. We can tell you're really nervous since you're messing up our names." Dragon said, correcting the girl, then giving her a small, reassuring smile.

"I mean, look at your tail! It's hidden between your legs, as it always is when you're nervous or scared." Snake points out, as the girl sighs in defeat.

"Guys! You know why I'm nervous, don't you?" the girl complains, as the boys' smiles fade away, being replaced with a sense of seriousness and confusion.

"You know, my brother's..." the girl's soft voice trails off, as the boys' eyes light up as they realize what they had asked of her.

"Sorry. We didn't mean to make you think of that." Dragon says, as Snake slightly shrugs his shoulders, resulting in a jab to the side by Dragon.

"Ow!" Snake practically hisses at Dragon, as the girl then rolls her eyes at the two boys.

"Alright, let's go." the girl says, as an elevator door then opened at the same time.

"A trap?" the two boys ask simultaneously.

"I hope so." Snake replies to the question, as the girl once again sighs in defeat, walking ever so slowly, towards the door that would lead to the worst day of her life.

"Ding!" the elevator rings, signaling that the three warriors are now at the place where their friendship makes no difference.

"You guys ready for this?" the girl asks a bit nervously, her tail lightly swinging back and forth, her ears back and flat to her head.

"Yep! But on the other hand..." Snake trails off.

"Are you ready for this?" Dragon finishes, as the girl gives a slight nod.

"I guess we're the first ones here?" one brother questions, as another figure steps out from behind a pillar.

A very strange figure indeed, with bunny ears, a bushy bunny tail, and black and red eyes.

'Don't trust him.' the girl's instincts screamed.

"Who is this dude?" Dragon asks, as Snake replies with a shrug.

"Who knows? But he's probably a bit off his rocker." Snake replied, as he stepped a bit closer to the stranger, suddenly being pulled back by someone else.

"Don't do that." the girl commanded, not taking her eyes off the stranger, surprising the boys next to her as well.

Snake suddenly senses something, but as he goes to turn around, the stranger springs into action!

'Astral Unbreakable... WALL!' the girl thought within her mind, as her wishes came true, and just in time.

A loud clang is then heard from in front of the small group of friends.

Snake's expression seemed puzzled, as Dragon then raced to his side, pulling him farther from the stranger.

As Snake looks back ahead, he sees the stranger, who now had his weapons visible and in use, although it seemed as if he was almost frozen in time.

The girl had used her secret ability, although no one noticed. Or did they?

Her secret ability, is called Everything, Out of Anything. And her ability is just that! She can create anything she wishes, out of the very space around her. She can create everything, out of anything.

In this instance, she used her ability to save Snake from his apparent demise, by creating an unbreakable wall or shield in front of Snake.

All the girl had to do now, was play it off as if nothing had happened...

"Oh my God! Snake, are you ok?!" the girl cried worriedly to her dear friend.

"Y-Yeah. I'm fine." the boy said, as he used the girl as a stabilizer for himself.

"Thank you." the boy whispered, almost unuttered, but still heard by the girl.

The boys knew what the girl had just done for them. Even when they were supposed to be enemies, they would still look out for each other.

"Now then, I would like for you all to swallow the gems you presently hold." the overseer of the Juni Taisen proclaimed.

'It's poison.' the girl's instincts screamed once again, warning the girl of any immediate danger.

'I'll create a time warp right on the inside of my mouth. That way, the gem will be trapped in time. I can pull it out when I need, and put it back for safe keeping.' the girl thought, as she quickly glanced around to see everyone else swallowing theirs whole.

"Now that everyone has swallowed their gems, I must tell you, that the gem was really a slow working poison." the overseer claimed.

"The poison will ultimately kill you all once the twelve hour timer is up... I think you all know how the Juni Taisen works well enough, so I'll take my leave now." The overseer said before turning and disappearing into the darkness.

"And there you have it..." Snake says uninterestedly, once again, shrugging his shoulders.

"The Juni Taisen has officially begun..." Dragon says, still staring at the spot where the overseer once stood.

" 'Til the poison kills us..." the girl begins to say.

"Let's have a war!!" she concludes in a battle cry.
