"Yeah, we're not in high school anymore," Susanne mumbled.

"She revealed herself!" the loony said, picking herself up of the ground.

"There can be only one. I can take even a young one if I so choose." As she talked, she had been slowly moving toward her BBoD (TM), and now, in one motion, she picked it up and pushed the button, turning it into her sword, and lunged toward the blonde.

There was a metelic clang as the blonde pulled out her own sword to defend herself. The pink gemstone embedded in the hilt made the whole sword seem to glow pink.

"Rapath," the loony growled.

"Sera," she answered. "You should not have come back." She swung her sword and stepped forward, forcing the other to take a step back.

"Susanne," Heather whispered as the two watched the swordfight, "what the bloody hell is going on?"

"Damned if I know," Susanne whispered back, "but I'd like to leave."

"You don't have to tell me twice," Heather answered. The girls took off, leaving the other two to fight it out.
