Darkness and storm clouds filled the sky above, while the city below lay in shattered ruins, the buildings crumbling and twisted. Faint harsh laughter in the distance caught her attention, but try as she might, Feferi couldn't see the source of it, for all the debris flying through the air. Her thick black hair swirled around her face, and her necklaces and bracelets clanked and tinkled as they moved. The wind was stronger than anything she'd ever seen, more powerful and devastating than a riptide.
In the distance, just visible, were two people; judging from their hair and pale skin, they were human girls. The black-haired girl kept firing what looked a little like Eridan's speargun, and the pink-haired girl was jumping to avoid debris and flying attackers and firing arrows of light at... something, something horrible, perhaps as horrible as the Black King and Queen had been.
"They're going to die."
Feferi looked down, surprised to hear a voice above all the screams of monsters and wind. A fuzzy-looking lusus with red eyes and long ears looked up at her, tipping its head. "Hello Feferi."
"What's going on? What are they fighting?" she shouted, trying to hold her hair back out of her face.
"They are fighting something far too powerful for them to kill. It is entirely impossible for them to win." The lusus replied, its mouth unmoving. "There is only one way to save them."
Them...
The human world that she, that they, had created at the end of their game. The wriggling universe. They had been so close to victory...
"Tell me!"
The lusus fixed its gaze with hers, and Feferi felt as though it were staring into her soul, analyzing and judging her, as if whether to cull her or throw her back.
"Feferi Peixes, to save them, you must make a contract with me and become a magical girl."
With a start, Feferi wakes up, finding herself on the lakeshore. Strange, had she beached herself in her sleep? That was a really weird dream, after all...
She pushed herself up, her hands squelching into the mud, but she couldn't feel the grains under her fingers, though the cold water seeped onto her skin. Lifting her hands, she could see by the bright moonlight the fuchsia gloves that reached far, far up her arms, all the way above her arm hinges. She turned her hands this way and that, confused. Gloves? Why? The bracelets were still there, but she couldn't feel the coldness of their metal against her skin.
Well, if she was wearing gloves, then what else was different? She looked down, dread making her aquatic-vascular pump pound, and found that there were significant differences; her simple pink shoes were now short boots, and she now wore Tyrian purple tights, Her dress, so pretty and bright and cheerful, was still there but covered in significantly more ribbons. Her black tanktop was still tight and black, but slightly different, with frills and lace trim.
This had to be some sort of bizarre human joke. Had to be. It was the only thing she could think of.
Feferi stood up, a little shaky in the boots (did these have heels?), and walked over to the water, peering in. Her goggles were unchanged, but her tiara had become significantly more elaborate, more like... more like...
Feferi screamed and fell back, landing in the mud again. The jewel of the tiara, usually showing her sign, was a simple gem of her blood color, and the metal had grown, twisted and curled. Something about it filled her with dread, and she reached up, digging her nails under the headpiece and pulling it off. She hesitated, for a second, without even knowing why, and cast the tiara -the crown of the Empress, her ancestor, the murderous Condesce- into the lake, as far as she could throw it.
But, even as the tiara sailed over the water and landed with a strangely anticlimatic splash, Feferi felt the world going dark and silent around her. Her body felt leaden and numb, and she had only an instant to recognize what was happening before her body collapsed back into the mud at the edge of the lake.
