In a realm above the rest, as the five on Sam's boat were prepared boarding the ferry to go to Yavin, Mizuki and Thanos, the two players of the game, sat at their game table, a new conundrum on their hands. "The Ronan thing was dirty." Mizuki muttered, biting her thumb at her enemy, Thanos, the embodiment of darkness and of power. Mizuki was the opposite, naturally, representing light and justice. Neither of them really existed as their own individual entities anymore, the ones playing the game were closer to being concepts instead. "Not as dirty as bringing Aria back to the game." Was Thanos's trite response as he made his move on the table. While Mizuki had specific pieces she could use and manipulate, Thanos's pieces were more akin to a thirst for power, he played by triggering the sin residing inside of someone and having them act on it to hurt others.
Then someone walked in to serve them tea, allowing the two players a bit of a break for the time being. Michael Angeal - because he was an angel, he was able to exist outside of his Summoner, the pin of an angel wing that resided in the mountains of Aurum, waiting for Ally's descendants to find. "Michi, it's almost time." Mizuki murmured to him and he nodded, their conversation ending just as quickly as that. "I'll do my best, Mizu." Thanos watched with amusement but as soon as Michael left his expression darkened. "We both know this game is only a farce." He said, glaring hard at his opponent, who was already devising plans for her next move. "We should just abandon this boring game and go to the next one, this game is just a fake attempt to bring back what was lost." She pretended to ignore him and continued to stare at the board. "You're a concept now, you're not allowed to show favoritism anymore."
It was against the rules for a concept to do anything but serve their role. It would be like a parent showing favoritism for one child and ignoring the other. "A true neutral and impartial Justice would have been on the Senate's side against Enrya's cruelty." L said again, eyes narrowing further. Mizuki shrugged and turned away from him. "Once I give that girl a happy ending, I'll be impartial." She said softly, her fingers dancing daintily against the game board as she organized pieces. "I won't play favorites after that, okay?" For a moment she thought Thanos was going to get up and leave the game but he remained seated, and made his next move, preparing for another attack.
In the beginning the game didn't really exist, in the beginning it was just the two of them, but Mizuki knew Yui's last chance of a happy ending was here, and knew she couldn't let go of her humanity without saving her cute little sister, one last time. Was that so much to ask for, was it such a bad thing? "...Thank you for being willing to play with me." If Thanos hadn't sat down and agreed to be her opponent, this game would be impossible and Mizu would have had no choice but to be impartial, even if it meant hurting Yui. "It's to teach you how to reign as a Concept." Thanos growled, eyes flashing dangerously. "It was supposed to be Yui in that chair, but you stole it from her. You weren't meant to have this fate, so I will train you until you're suitable." That certainly sounded like a challenge. Mizuki grinned wildly. "Train me all you want, but you won't stop me from giving Yui the ending she deserves!"
