Sunset was sitting in her castle alongside Pinkie, several other world leaders were sitting there frowning. One of the men in the room, an older tall muscular grey skinned man with a voice deep and gruff “We are all grateful for you assistance against the aliens, what they were planning to do to us was horrible. However I’m little concerned that you two, out of nowhere I might add turned up with another army of strange aliens then proceeded to take over an entire continent turning it into your own nation.”

Pinkie smiled “I can understand your concerns, Prime Minister Calm Repost. As the current Leader of France I can understand your concern. We mean no harm to anyone nor do we desire conflict.”

A woman with skin ice blue and snow white hair, her warm demeanour was jarring considering her appearance “Relax Calm, why do you have be such a stiff?”

Calm turned to her with a scowl “Snow Frost, you have forgotten what your nation did! What you nation did during the last ‘Great War’ I was alive during those days and I never forgot what happened to my family!”

Sunset raised a hand “Enough! I have heard about that conflict, it was a catastrophe on a massive scale. It was foreshadowed at the end of the first war though wasn’t it, Germany was broke and it’s people were starving. No wonder they were so eager to go to war.”

Pinkie grimaced “The past is past, we should not let it ruin the present.”

Another man shorter by about a head stout and focused, his forest green skin clear as day “Agreed, how are we able to understand each other. I’m Russian, he is French, she is German and then there is the English Prime Minister and the Spanish Leader are here as well.”Not to mention the other two that are here as well.”

Sunset nodded “We have a complicated translation matrix on the castle so everyone hear their own native tongue. I hope that is enough explanation for you, Wood Lance.”

She turned to the blue skinned young English woman and the older silver skinned gentlemen in a suit “We are here to discuss peace, Sea Song and Silver Sheen. I have no desire for any conflict, in truth I wish to bring an end to war.”

Silver Sheen laughed “Your delusional, there is no way to bring an end to war. It something we just do.”

Pinkie’s eyes narrowed “No one wins a war Silver Sheen, not in this day and age. You have built world destroying weapons. It’s not just abut stopping war, that may indeed be an impossible task but we should try to mitigate conflict wherever possible.”

Sea Song frowned “That is a noble goal but how do we achieve it? Preventing conflict is never easy.”

Sunset raised a hand “We need to find what the other party wants and find a way to compromise that with your own goals. Now I believe we should relax and have some Lunch. I’d say we take a break and wander around the castle a bit, me and Pinks are going to ahem a sparring session in the training room if anyone wants to watch.”

Calm looked at the both of them “I do want to know what you two are capable of. I’d say it would help diplomacy to see what the Princesses are capable of.” The other leaders nodded following the pair through the solid crystal hallways to a room which simply has training marked on it.”

They enter to see a small computer room with a door next to it, a huge screen was in front of the terminal. Two guards stood either side of the computer, turning up to it’s highest setting and the two Princesses hoped through the door. Snow raised an eyebrow “Where did they go?”

One of the guards grinned “They went to their specific training space, dimensionally tethered to the castle. It’s called the universe graveyard, where dead universes remain. Now you get to see them in action.”

They all were watching Sunset and Pinkie, their eyes widened as several Universes passed by. Sunset and Pinkie leapt at each other a single blow sending a mighty shockwave shattering multiple universes much to the shock of their fellow leaders.

Silver Sheen looked horrified “What kind of monsters are they?!”

The guards glared at him “They are not monsters, they are gods. They rule our localised universe cluster, disrespect them and we will have a problem.”

Wood Lance frowned “I figured as much, seeing such power. Well only a god could be capable of such a thing, I suggest we should listen to them. I certainty don’t want such power turned against my own nation.”

Silver was about to say something when he got hit by a straight hook from Sea Song “I have been wanting to do that for a long time, I knew his father. Much better person that he is.”

Snow Frost sat next to Calm with a sad smile “Sorry about everything, I have been trying so hard to put those dark days in our history behind us. Germany has committed many a crime in her recent past and I’m trying to put that behind us.”

Calm frowned “You think it’s that easy, a few words and all the pain will just go away.”

Snow shook her head “No, but I want it to be a start. It’s part of why I came here was to put that behind us one step at a time. I’m sick of those looks I get at the diplomatic meetings, the words behind my back ‘When is the next war crime they are going to commit.’ It sickens me to hear those words.”

Sunset smiled as she exited alongside Pinkie “It’s good to see some of you are cooperating at least.” The group soon had a nice meal before returning to the business at hand.
