Right, right, I know I'm a mushy powerplayer, (please don't 
delete me just yet) but somehow, I just couldn't resist 
sending out this piece.

C&C always welcomed, flames will be gatoutsued unless 
they originate from a certain potty-mouthed tessen-wielding 
bandit.

(PLEASE send C&C kudasai? *_*)

War Games
A xover fic set in the X universe, before the Final 
Confrontation
By Seratia Ryuusen
Dedicated to anybody who happens to be reading this

	Sailor Pluto, aka Meiou Setsuna, may have disagreed 
with her counterpart goddess on a lot of things, but this 
was one case where she had to agree.
	"Kamisama no BAKA!" Sera growled, having been shocked 
out of her usual serenity. It was quite a startling sight to 
hear that soft, breathy voice snarl curses. "What is he 
thinking of?! Kamui Shirou is just a kid!"
	"Calm down, megami," Pluto said coldly. "We may have 
to do a job, but there are other ways to doing things than 
how Kami-sama orders us to."
	"Hai," Sera exclaimed, perking up instantly. Her 
uniform black silk rippled in the slow rising of power as 
she prepared to teleport-
	-and her comlink beeped, and spat out a roll of 
paper.
	Seratia facefaulted.
	Pluto calmly picked up the paper, unrolled it, and 
sighed. "Konahigi is messing with things again. Looks like
a confrontation with Nemesis and Kona is inevitable."
	"Yare yare," was the muttered reply. "ITAI!"

	Hinoto was silent as she walked her dreams. 
	A shape clothed in black and a dark figure appeared 
just in front of her. She jerked back, �eyes� wide in shock 
and fear. :WHAT?:
	"Calm, little sister," a soft, melodious feminine 
voice sounded. "Are you Hinoto-hime, the dream-gazer 
princess?"
	:Ha�hai� nan da?:
	"We come to inform you of our coming," another 
voice, cool and informal, spoke out of the darkness. "There 
is another confrontation upon this world."
	:You�who are you?: Hinoto ventured tentatively.
	Slowly, everything started to glow with a foggy, 
indistinct light. The two visitors were revealed to be a 
girl in night-black, wearing loose, but still impressive 
clothing, and a woman in some kind of formal black dress.
	"The Goddess and the Guardian," the woman intoned 
gravely. 

	In the meantime, Kanoe was having dreams of her 
own. 
	The darkness whispered seductively, and a vaguely 
feminine person stepped out of it, cloaked with a aura of 
anti-light that was almost overwhelming.
	"We share a common enemy," the stranger purred. 
"Will you join hands with me?"
	Kanoe raised a eyebrow. A common enemy? No 
introduction? "What common enemy do we share?"
	The stranger named them, one after another, and 
watched Kanoe�s eyes narrow in satisfaction. "So?"
	"Done."
	"Watashi no namae wa Yusagi Konahigi wa. The 
Empress."

	These weren�t the only two sides in the game. 
	Hiko Seijuurou and Saitou Hajime watched 
intently.
	The Enigma and the Wolf.
	"This will be a great fight," Seijuurou noted dispassionately.
	"Aku, soku, zan," Hajime said with great relish.

	Far away, another two Players watched the scene 
unfold.
	"Ninmu ryokai," Hiro Yui breathed.
	"Ahai," Duo Maxwell agreed. "Iku zo."
	The Assassin and the Reaper.

	The pieces were set, and the grounds fixed. The 
battle would begin.
