"Don't do this, please..." P-chan begged as she crawled away from Kronii, her bruised and battered body shuddering.
"Is this what you wanted? Am I living up to my potential now?" Kronii replied coldly. "Everyone else is gone now. It's just you and me, forever."
P-chan felt her movements slow as Kronii walked towards her, each step thudding on the bare stone floor. Her eyes were dark and empty, her face revealing but a single emotion - disgust.
"Aren't I powerful? P-chan? I've become the greatest to ever live!" Kronii laughed a cold, callous laugh as she laid a single foot on P-chan's chest, pushing slightly. P-chan gasped. Each second that passed felt like an eternity.
"I just... wanted... you... to be... better..." P-chan choked through strained breaths.
"And I have!" Kronii smiled. "Now it's your turn to be better."
Kronii's fan materialized in her hands, its sharp metal glinting in the setting sun. Kronii leaned over, staring directly into P-chan's eyes as she pressed the point to P-chan's cheek and began to drag it across her face.
"Scream for me."
P-chan felt the bite of the fan as it dug into her skin. Her blood began to bead up on her face, only to heal in an instant.
In the horizon, the sun rose and set a billion times as the two figures stayed there, unmoving - one laughing, one crying for help that would never come.
