Misaki and Ah Chun set out across the universe in the direction Bao Chen pointed them in. "If you go now, you will find what you are searching for at the universe's edge." This was a cryptic message that he left behind before taking the others for training. Because of this message, the two did not stop at any planets to check out what they were like. They continued moving through space day in and day out. After a while, they lost count as to how many days, months, or years passed. But one day, though, they came upon a strange scene.
"What's this?" Ah Chun asked, looking at the circle of light in front of her.
"Seems to be an ancient magic circle of some kind." Misaki answered. "Chun'er, I don't think you should touch it."
Ah Chun brought her hand back just before touching the barrier surrounding it. Her eyes locked onto a certain object. "But Big Sister, look at that thing there. In this entire area, there is only a small rock sitting inside this magic circle. Maybe it is some kind of ancient being or something."
"Let's not mess with it in case it is some kind of strong being that we can not deal with. I would rather not die before I deal with the death race. Come on, let's go." Misaki said before turning around and began to fly off but was stopped when a voice came from behind her.
"Please wait! I need your help!"
Ah Chun and Misaki turned to see a young woman with golden hair and a halo floating above her head. Their eyes locked with hers, and at the same moment, each one of them had a wave of emotion sweep over them.
After a long silence, Misaki finally spoke up. "It's her. The girl we have been searching for. Chun'er that master of yours was right."
"Mmm This makes me want to punch him even more. But first things first." Ah Chun looked at the girl in front of her and asked: "Your name?"
"Alicia. My guess is you are Chun'er? But the girl beside you, Although I feel a connection to you, I do not know your name. " Alicia scanned Misaki up and down. Just like Ah Chun, she had a strong connection with this girl as well.
"Misaki Mitsu. You can just call me Mitsu, or as Chun'er calls me, you can use Big Sister too." Misaki said with a smile. She already knew who Alicia was once she said her name. She couldn't stop the overwhelming feeling welling up inside her causing her eyes to water up.
"Mitsu Mitsu..." Alicia was having issues with her feelings right now. Her mind was turning into a mess. But she knew she would have to set aside these feelings at this time. Although she accomplished her goal of finding the two girls she had been searching for, this did not change the fact that she was still trapped in this place. "Then Mitsu Chun'er, I need your help in escaping this magic circle. All powers within this circle are negated, so I am unable to destroy it. I was actually on my way to find the two of you when I got stuck in this place over seventy years ago."
"Hmmm it negates magic from the inside. I wonder if it will repel it from the outside." Misaki waved her hand, sending a simple fireball spell at the magic circle. It smashed into the barrier, causing it to shake slightly.
"Looks like the effect only applies to the inside." Ah Chun said as she made her slaughter of time appear in her hands. She raised it up and then sliced down, sending a sword beam straight at the barrier. This time the entire barrier shook more violently. Alicia, who was on the other side, eyes lit up with hope. She had been stuck inside this place for so long she really could not wait to escape.
"I think with our combined powers, we can break it or at least form a hole in it. Alicia, step back a bit more. I do not want you to get caught up in the explosion." Misaki instructed as she also moved further back. She even pulled Ah Chun with her.
"Alright." Alicia grabbed her space and went to the far side of the magic circle as far back as she could.
"Chun'er, we will need to use our strongest direct attacks and target the same spot. Although it seems like an ancient magic circle, the barrier seems fragile. From the outside. So we should be able to get Alicia out of there." Misaki explained. Ah Chun could only agree with Misaki since she had no knowledge of magic circles.
"Ready when you are." Ah Chun said as she began to compress spiritual energy in her hands.
Misaki nodded and waved her hand, causing millions of black orbs to form around her. They then began to collect in her outstretched hands. Their hair began to flutter as their powers gather. When both of them were ready, they nodded at each other, sending out both of their attacks.
The two attacks, both covered in black flames, seemed to combine and merge as they got close to the barrier. On contact, almost as if millions of atomic bombs had gone off, a large explosion happened, sending waves of energy in all directions.
In another part of space near where Misaki and Ah Chun were, a mass of figures in the tens of thousands could be seen making their way towards the three girls.
