Hey guys. This is still the same RPG I made before, but...I've made a few changes, considering the other one I had was gone & I forgot to back it up somehow. Anyway...I was planning on adding several OC's in mine. Basically...I was going to have this set between both Tokyo & Cephiro.



Rules:



The limit in OC's...would have to be 4.



In terms of relationships...I have no problem with romantic stuff.



As for the rules for adding other characters...(specifically...OC's)...I've observed them. Here's the one's I was going to add.



Name: Tsuki Akari (Moonlight)

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Likes: Sushi and classical music

Dislikes: Olives, pickles, and peppers

D.O.B.: 11/18



Abilities: Teleportation, telepathy

Weaponry: Samurai Sword, Elemental Triforce Sword (happens later on in the RPG).

Appearance: 5'4, eye color is green, hair color light blue, wears a white armor & white cape.

Personality: Is usually quiet, likes to help others with their problems, & is quite friendly. Also is willing to put his life down for others.



The way he met Hikari is during one of his travels he comes across an old camp (a hut, small campfire, herbs, & an old book roughly 3,000 years old, & a small amulet). Once spotted?he sees the book & tries to read what?s on the back of the amulet.



From there, he awoke a guardian that radiated a bright light, & looked like a stuffed bear with wings, & completely white like snow. It had blue eyes & had a cheery look on its face. That?s when Tsuki met Hikari.





Name: Hikari

Age: (Undetermined)

Gender: Female

Likes: Sour stuff

Dislikes: Sweets

D.O.B.: (Unknown).

Abilities: (Same as Tsuki-kun).

First appearance: (small-winged lion, white lioness w/wings)

Real appearance: (blond hair, blue eyes, white robe w/ gold lining around the bottom of the robe).



Her personality is quite cheery at times, but?is sometimes quick to sensing danger. Although her age is unknown, she & Tsuki have been best friends. She tries her best to give him some advice, yet?every once it a while, she gets ticked at times when he forgets or doesn?t listen. But she?s forgiving & quite helpful. When things get rough, she transforms to her first form, which is more of a white lioness with wings. In truth?she is actually the sage of light. She has the ability of teleportation & creates strong shield defenses. Her home world, Triforia, consists of 3 elements, fire, water, & wind. There are 3 colonies from which these 3 elements represent, the mountain colony (fire), the forest colony (wind), & the ocean colony (water). Her father, Hato, defended their homeworld when Yami Ryu & his army attacked. He changed Hikari into a lioness, & told her to protect the sacred amulet which would lead the wielder to an ancient sword used by the first defender of their homeworld & fought w/the 3 creators of Triforia, centuries before the 3 colonies were formed & then took his place with the other 3 deities. When things REALLY get out of hand, she transforms into a white knight & merges with Tsuki. The most powerful attacks are: Blazing Light Blast & Inferno?s Fury.



Name: Yami Ryu

Age: (Undetermined)

Gender: Male

D.O.B.: (Unknown)

Abilities: (Listed in profile). Also can create strong, dark, versions of his enemies.

Appearance: Has black hair, red eyes, wears a black cape & robe.



A evil sorcerer with the ability to not only transform into a dragon, but to also to use his eye medallion to hypnotize his enemies. He?s been Hikari?s nemesis for centuries. Sealed in an amulet with the image of a black dragon.



Name: Honou Hi (Phoenix form)

Age: (Undetermined)

Gender: Male

Abilities: (Has the power to manipulate flames, & bring people back to life)



1st of the 3 creators of Triforia. Represents courage & strength



Name: Umi Yubi (Mermaid form)

Age: (Undetermined)

Gender: Female

Abilities: (Controls the tides of the ocean, creates strong shields, & can conjure up violent sea storms).



The 2nd of the 3 creators of Triforia. Represents beauty & grace



Name: Yasashii Kaze (Eagle form)

Age: (Undetermined)

Gender: Male

Abilities: (controls the force of the wind, can create strong tornados)



The 3rd & final creator of Triforia, Represents wisdom & guidance.



NOTE: FYI, considering that this one got deleted once, this will be my 2nd version of this RPG.



Anyway...w/o further interupptions...let's begin.



(Current setting: Tokyo)



It's summer here in Tokyo, the people going about their business, kids having fun outside, all in a small space surrounded by water. Yet unknowingly to many...that's not the case w/a few people. Tsuki Akari was heading to Tokyo Tower, knowing that something...mysterious was around there.



Hikari: (pops out of Tsuki's right side pocket). Ano...remind me again why we're heading to Tokyo Tower.



Tsuki: I've been having these strange dreams lately. About a place that's created by will power. Also...that you're nemesis seems to have hidden himself below this place.



Hikari: Hontou?



Tsuki: Ah.



Tsuki: (suddenly notices a white fluff ball a few feet from where they are). (walks up to it). Mokona?



Mokona: Puu pu. (Yup. Hello.)



Hikari: Ano...kare wa dare desu ka? Or...it?



Tsuki: Mokona is some sort of fairy...that has a connection between our world...and the world that he comes from. Ne...Mokona?



Mokona: Pu puu. (That's right). Pu pu puu pu pu puu pu? (Um...do you mind waiting here a while?) Puu pu puu pu. (Gotta find my friends).



Tsuki: (cocks head in curiousity). Tomodachi?



Mokona: Pu. (Yup.)



Tsuki: Hai. I guess.



Mokona: *disappears*.



Hikari: (stares at Tsuki). Tsuki-sama...you can actually understand what that "thing" said to you?



Tsuki: Yeah. Let me guess...you find it weird...don't you?



Hikari: Not exactly. It's not everday you find a strange creature to talk to every once in a while.



Tsuki: Ah. Sou ne.

Edited by: Yuki Fukurou at: 6/25/05 7:57 pm

OOC: Sounds fun! Just some questions: How does Tsuki know Mokona? And why does Tsuki seem to know more about what's going on than Hikari does? I got the impression that she was supposed to be a wise-sage type person. Maybe I was wrong. ::dies:: Knowing me, that's actually probably the case...



Anyway, how soon will they be in Cephiro? I have some OCs I could use in Cephiro...



I'll come back later and add one of my OOC's profile into this post...

~~~~~~



Love me.



Is that too much to ask?

Heh...I'll explain about that later. (When I post that is).

Hehe, ok. I think we're supposed to make a separate topic for discussions...maybe not. I'll go check.



EDIT: Yep, I was right.

6. Please stay in character. If you need to have an out of character discussion concerning this RPG, mark such topics with OOC in the subject heading.

Want to make one?

Love me.



Is that too much to ask?

Edited by: Haven at: 6/19/05 10:58 am

OOC: Sure...I don't mind.



Ok...time to get back into the RPG.



Hikari: Ano...Tsuki-sama...how exactly do you know that small ball of fluff?



Tsuki: Heh...lucky guess...I guess.



Hikari: Oooookaaaayyy.



Tsuki: Seriously.



Hikari: Riiiiighht.



Tsuki: All right. Fine, no more sour treats for you.



Hikari: Hey, hey, hey...take it easy. I was just kidding.



Tsuki: (gives her a stern look). Are you REALLY sure you were kidding?



Hikari: Most definitely.



Tsuki: ^_^. K.



Hikari: (thinks: He's so cute when he smiles like that). *blushes*. (thinks: What am I thinkin'? I'm already falling for him that fast? Come on...Hikari-san...snap out of it. Enough w/the romantic drama already.)



Tsuki: (notices). Daijoubu?



Hikari: Eh? Hai, hai. Tsuki-sama. Mou daijoubu.



Tsuki: K.



Meanwhile, Mokona began to pop in & out of the sakura trees searching for his female pals, Hikaru, Umi, & Fuu.

OOC: Cool! ^.^ Hopefully we can find some other people willing to play. I think I'll go look at the Character List to see if there are any other characters that I might be able to play. I can't excatly use Clef at the moment, they're still in Tokyo. When are they going to go to Cephiro? Anyway, I'm going to post my OOC's profile. Should I put it another color, like you did?



~~~~~



Name: Kaith



Age: 700-something



Gender: Female



Eyes: Light blue



Hair: The color is dark brown, and the length is mid back. She has two short strands hanging down in front of her eyes



Apearance: Slender, with slightly pale skin.



Clothes: Loose deep green shirt, with long brownish pants. Apeares to carry no weapon, but she may have a few knives for emergencies... ^.^ Full black cape. Around her neck hangs a deep red stone on a thin black chain.



Personality: She loves being mysterious. She makes it a point to find out things that no one else knows. Can often be found hiding in the shadows...^.^ But she loves Cephiro with all her heart and will do anything to save it. She also loves fighting and killing anyone of the enemy. She is extremly loyal, and once you get on her bad side...look out!



Likes: being mysterious, fighting, magic



Dislikes: losing, having to wait a long time for something



History: She is a Mage. She wasn't found to posess magic power until she was older so she worked extra hard to beat all the other Mages-in-training. Because of this she has advanced to one of the more powerful Mages. Old friends with Clef.



Weapon: A staff! ^.^ Loves to use her magic...



Armour Apearance: Doesn't really have any, relies on her magic to protect her...

~~~~~



How was that? Was it ok? I still can't do anything until they get to Cephiro...::sighs:: I'm gonna go create another character...that's from Tokyo...::goes off to create another character::



::waves:: Bye bye!



: Haven :



Edit:



::giggles:: I must have added things to this post by edit five times by now. >.< But I have another OC to post...this one from Tokyo! ::laughs:: Ok, here you go.



Name: Ari



Age: 18



Gender: Female



Eyes: a strange red-brown



Hair: shoulder length purplish hair



Appearance: slender, fair skin



Clothes: Tight black shirt and pants. She wears a strange golden bracelet with symbols on it.



Personality: Perky and outwardly cheerful, but sometimes she will fall silent and tune everything out. Most people don?t know the real Ari.



Likes: exercise, swords,



Dislikes: waiting, bullies



History: She was an orphan for most of her life, but was adopted a few years ago. She is relatively fond of her foster parent people. She kept in contact with some of her friends from the orphanage, who have run away and are now in gangs on the street.



Weapons: Learned hand to hand combat from her friends on the street, but has always had an odd obsession with sword or knives (which her foster parents did not approve of).



Abilities: She doesn?t know it yet, but has the power to transport herself to Cephiro.

~~~~



So, how was that? ::yawns:: I'll try to come up with an actual post thing...::thinks::



Ari shuffled along in the crowds heading for Tokyo tower. Stupid fieldtrip... She looked around for some way to escape. When she saw the teachers looking a different way, she slipped off.



After wandering around for a while she stopped and leaned against a wall. She began to watch the people around her, which was a strange habit of hers. She loved watching the strange things that people did when they thought no one was watching. Presently she saw a young man that appeared to be talking to no one. She wandered over.



"So, who ya talking to?"



~~~~



:makes face:: That wasn't that good. I'll probably come back an edit it tommorow, when I'm not so tired...::yawns:: I had about four hours of sleep last night... Oh yeah, the young man that she was watching was Tsuki.



: Haven :

~~~~~~



Love me.



Is that too much to ask?

Edited by: Haven at: 6/20/05 10:24 pm

OOC: Heh...not bad for a first start. I really like it. (thinks: Now...I just wonder if Hikaru-san & Batou is going to join in).



(And I wonder if Hikaru has found someone to play Umi-chan yet.)



Anyway...back to where I left off.



Tsuki: (leans against a tree).



Hikari: Ano...Tsuki-sama...



Tsuki: (turns to Hikari). Hai?



Hikari: I was sort of wonderin'...are you really sure that's where the enemy went to after being defeated by my father?



Tsuki: Hard to say really. According to the pendant that I found, it showed a black meteor which...seemed undetected by anyone in the residence. Then...it turned out to be a capsule & the enemy went underground & built his fortress from there.



Hikari: Odd. Although...I don't find it very common for snakes to burrow underground. Unless my enemy has obtained a transformation ability.



Tsuki: That's a possibility.



Meanwhile...in an underground fortress under Cephiro...



Serpent soldier #1: What'sssss our first move...masssster?



?: Patiently wait, my sssservant. We need to have the 3 girlsssss to join thissss mysterioussssss warrior. Only then...will I send my monssssster to tesssssst his sssskillsssss. *laughs evilly*.



Serpent soldier #1: Very well, massssster.



?: (turns to his viewing crystal). It'ssss only a matter of time. Then...my revenge will finally take place. *hisses evilly*.



And...within Cephiro's walls...



Lantis: *senses*. (thinks: What's this? I haven't felt this kind of power before since Hikaru became the pillar. I better inform master mage Clef about this). (rushes to the chamber where Clef usually sits).

Edited by: Yuki Fukurou at: 6/21/05 2:01 pm

OOC: Thanks! Well, I hope they will, but I don't think they have officially claimed anyone yet... ::gestures toward Active Characters list:: ^.^



: roceeds to read post::



:: scratches head:: Ari had just come up to Tsuki and asked him a question...will you have that in the next post or what?



Teehee, I like the snakes. Are only you allowed to use them, or are they for all of us? You would be the only one that could use the Master though.



Eep! I get to use Clef! ^.^ What is the power Lantis senses? Tsuki? Hikari? Yami Ryu? (wasn't that his name?) Erk! I ask to many questions...you might wanna make a discussion thread... ::dies::



IC:



Clef felt the power surge the same instance that Lantis did. He gripped his staff. The aura that the power let off was unfamiliar. That power is tremendous...I hope, for Cephiro's sake, that it does not belong to an enemy... Lantis rushed into Clef's chamber.



"I know. I feel it too." Clef said softly.



OOC: Erk. ::dies:: Why did I have such problems writing this? I spent the last twenty minuets trying to come up with basically one paragraph. Arg. I need more sleep.



: Haven :

I'll try to find a picture when I get back from vacation, the computer here is really slow.



~~~~

Haven is an hyperactive fangirl (that needs more sleep)with an odd obsession with Clef's hands.

Heh...that I'll probably add in my post right now.



Tsuki: (suddenly spots someone who wants to ask him a question). Hello there. How may I be of some assistance?



Hikari: (thinks: Wonder if this...Mokona is going to help us defeat my enemy).



Meawhile...back in the castle of Cephiro...



Lantis: Something just feels out of place, Master mage Clef. Did you feel anything unusual in the past few moments?



OOC: As for the snakes...I suppose I could use a few of them. They're meant for all of us.



As for the answer to your question about what Lantis sense...it's Yami Ryu's presence.

^.^ Ok!



~

Ari grinned. "I was just askin' who you were talking to!"



~

Clef sighed. "Yes, I felt it. Something very powerful has entered Cephiro." He sighed again. "We have to hope that it is not hostile, or we may have another war on our hands..."



~



OOC: Are my posts getting too short?

Cool! We all get to use the snakes! I like snakes...



Hey, is the Master of the snakes Yami Ryu? That's what I assumed... Oh! I remembered his name right! ::suddenly laughs:: I think I know where you got his name... ::smiles innocently and kicks YGO book under bed::

Haven is an hyperactive fangirl (that needs more sleep and likes talking in third person...) that has an odd obsession with Clef's hands. Her favorite word is Erk. Erk!

Tsuki: Oh. Just my little partner here. (points to Hikari).



Hikari: Huh? (notices a girl named Ari). (cheery voice) Oh...hello. ^_^



Tsuki: (turns back to Ari). So...what's a pretty girl like yourself doing here?



Hikari: (gives Tsuki a bit of a nudge with her elbow).



Tsuki: (What?)



Hikari: (Must you always be like this?)



Tsuki: (Are you jealous?)



Hikari: (Nandatte?!)



Tsuki: (You jealous?)



Hikari: (Of course not.)



Tsuki: (Hontou?)



Hikari: (Hai.)



OOC: Um...yes. It's kinda short. Is there any way you might be able to lengthen yours a bit. Say...5-8 lines? (Think that's too much for ya?)

::sighs:: Sorry, it looked a bit bigger when I was typing it...

No, that's not too much.



Um... wouldn't Hikari look a little weird? Isn't she really small? In another post you said that she popped out of Tsuki's pocket... >.< I'm going on the assumption that Ari's going to think it's strange... ^.^;; I'll definitely change my post if you need me to...

::sighs:: I'm going to shut up now...

~

Tokyo



Ari stared at the strange thing poking out of the boy's pocket. It looked relatively human, just smaller. A lot smaller...



"What the /heck/ is that thing?" She demanded.

~



Serpents' Place



A serpent lurked in the shadows. Waiting was hard for it; it wanted revenge /now/. It hissed impatiently. How long was Master going to wait? He wanted to kill them right /now/!

~



::flops:: The serpent part was just my feeble attempt at making my post longer... I couldn't put any more Ari because of her question... and Lantis hasn't responded to Clef yet... ::sighs:: Sorry. It sucked, even worse than my other ones... >.< Erk. I'm on a real writers block. Nothing comes out right. Grrr.

OOC: Heh...well...now that you've mentioned it...your character is about to be surprised completely.



Tsuki: (thinks: I think she's confused as of now). Aibou...



Hikari: *sighs*. Oh well...if I must. (the wings on her back became enlarged, & concealed her in a type of cocoon casing for a few short seconds, & then a bright light emmitted from there. When her wings returned to their normal form, they became large wings, like that of a chimera. In its place was a white female lioness).



Tsuki: She's actually a winged lioness so to speak. And...the only way I can see her is because of this. (holds up a light blue pendant).

Tokyo



Ari goggled at the...thing. She opened her mouth to try to say something, but it didn't work. She licked her suddenly dry lips. Her brain slowly processed the boy's words.



"If the amulet lets you see her..." She waved a hand toward the blue amulet, "Then how can I see her?" She paused and licked hs again. " Can they see her?" She nodded her head towards the tourists swarming nearby.



OOC: ^.^;; Was that a bit longer?

And I do realize that I'm probably being annoying with my newbie-ness. Isn't this the second time you posted this? Were you guys really far along?

Tsuki: (thinks: I can't believe I said that.) (mentally slaps self).



Hikari: Daijoubu, Tsuki-sama?



Tsuki: Hai, mou daijoubu. (turns to Ari). Things don't appear as they seem to be. You see...the main reason is that...well...how should I say this?



Hikari: Only those with special abilities can see me.



After a few hours, Mokona returns with a confused look.



Tsuki: Ah...Mokona. How was your search?



Mokona: (in a sort of down tone). Puu, pu. (No luck).



Tsuki: Sou desu.



Hikari: Kinda like how Tsuki-sama can see Mokona. Basically speaking...those that have special abilities or chosen by a certain someone/something can see what others can't.



Tsuki: You took the words right out my mouth, aibou.



Hikari: Heh...well...you still seemed unsure about what you were going to say.



Tsuki: Ha. Yeah right.



Mokona: Puu puu pu pu. (I'll try over by the place I found Hikaru-san in.)



Tsuki: Who?



Mokona: Pu pu pu puu pu puu. (Don't worry. You'll see what I mean when I get back). *disappears again*.



Tsuki: (thinks: He's kinda odd at times).

Wahh! I feel so bad! We were only supposed to be gone for two days, but something happened and we had to stay longer. We were going to a place that had no computer...I'm so sorry!

~~



Ari blinked at them.



"S...special abilities? Me?" She gave a snort of disbelief. "Are you kiddin' me? She eyed the lioness thing. "Then again... if I'm seeing things like that there's one of two things going on here. One, you're telling the truth. Two, I've finally lost it."



She sees Mokona. "What is that?...nevermind. Something only people with 'special abilities' can see, right?"

Hikari: (starts to notice the winds have started to pick up). This looks bad.



Tsuki: *notices*. Yeah...and it can only mean one thing...trouble. 'I just hope that Mokona finds his special friends soon. Cause I have a feeling I could use their help...and fast'



Meanwhile...in the snake lair...



Snake soldier #1: What issss thy bidding massssssster?



?: Sssssend out sssssix of your ssssoldierssss to deal with those 3.



Snake soldier #1: *bows*. Of courssssse. *leaves*.

"Yes?! Yes, what?!" Ari said, sweatdropping. She paused. "Trouble? Oh god... this is turning into some type of frickin' fantasy novel..." She fingered her hidden knife.



~~



Whee, that was short. Darn. I assume the three Master was talking about are Ari, Tsuki, and Hikari? Not the Magic Knights? Hmm...do you know if anyone else is going to be joining in the RP? We kinda need someother players... ::sweatdrops::

Character Profile:



Character name: Hikaru

Anime/video game series: Magic Knight Rayearth/Rayearth/MKR

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Species: (if non human) Human





Personality:



Very enthusiastic, although she does not have the stereotypical "redhead's temper" and personality. Youthful exuberance for the simple joys of life often make her appear childlike, but when it comes to bravery and taking control of a situation, she handles the responsibility maturely and competently. When faced with a daunting challenge she can be quite serious and even-tempered. She will seldom share her inner feelings, reluctantly, and only with very close friends.



Hikaru has a very simple approach to life. She is a straightforward and uncomplicated person. She says what she means and means what she says so to speak. The things that matter most to her are the family and friends around her, with whom she shows unquestionable dedication and loyalty. Her uncomplicated view of life does have a drawback in that she often fails to realize how complex the world really is. Hikaru often accepts things at face value and doesn?t instinctively look for ulterior motives. For this reason she can be very na?ve and easily deceived.



Appearance:



In the anime and manga versions of MKR, Hikaru exists in two realities ? The real world as we know it, and the magical world of Cephiro.



In the real world, Hikaru is a normal human middle school student without any extraordinary abilities. She is very short (~4'-6"), petite(~85 lbs), with large, dark eyes and red hair. Except when she is bathing, Hikaru braids her hair in a single long braid tied with a red ribbon. Her customary dress is a fuku with a white blouse, red jacket and black skirt. See picture.









In the magical world of Cephiro, Hikaru is one of the three legendary Magic Knights. Hikaru's customary powers are use of the sword and magic. She specializes in elemental magic spells of the fire type. She can form defensive fields to deflect the attacks of enemies. Also, she can instantly summon and ?don? a powerful mashin called Rayearth. A mashin very closely resembles a mecha in appearance, however Rayearth is a living creature that possesses conscious thought and not a mechanism. Her sword will engulf in flames anyone else besides Hikaru who attempts to use it. Here is a picture of Hikaru with her sword and wearing the armor of a Magic Knight.









History:



Hikaru comes from a family that owns and runs a Kendo dojo. Her parents are deceased, but she has three older brothers, Hikaru is the only girl in the family. Her oldest brother, Satoru, is the dojo master and Hikaru's guardian. Satoru is about twice Hikaru?s age and is very kind and gentle towards her. Whenever Hikaru is feeling badly, she keeps her feelings to herself, however Satoru is sensitive enough to realize that she is troubled and will always try to comfort her. He is very much a father figure for Hikaru. Her second oldest brother is Masaru and he is a university student. Often busy with his studies, he is away from home often. He too shares Hikaru?s cheerful personality and he will often try to embarrass Hikaru by asking about what sorts of guys she is dating. The youngest of the three brothers is Kakeru who is a high school student. In many ways he is like Masaru, but also looks after his little sister. Any guy that wants to date Hikaru will have to defeat him in the dojo first. ^_^;;



They are a close and affectionate family with the three brothers all doting on their cute little sister. She also has a beloved pet dog called Hikari. Having grown up with three brothers, she is somewhat of a tomboy, and insecure about her own self-image as a girl. She will blush and feel very embarrassed if someone tells her that she is cute, especially a boy. Most of the time, Hikaru is fun and outgoing, but if something is troubling her, she will become withdrawn and moody. She will only tell her feelings to very close friends, and reluctantly so even to them. She is strongly independant and doesn't like to rely on others for help. Her experience with Kendo has made her athletic, strong, and agile for a person of her physical size. In terms of academics, she is average. She knows very little about computers, and never plays video games.



Hikaru became a Magic Knight one day when she was on a school field trip to the Tokyo Tower. From there she was summoned along with two others (Umi Ryuuzaki and Fuu Houonji) to the magical world of Cephiro. There they received their magic powers, weapons, and armor and also earned the rights to don the mashins through a series of increasingly difficult quests. However, the true mission of the Magic Knight remained hidden from them and things did not turn out quite as they were expecting them too. Being the de facto leader of the Magic Knights, Hikaru was especially troubled and hurt by what happened. Eventually she even began to hate herself for what she had done and had led the two others to also do. During their second mission to Cephiro, the Magic Knights were able to redeem themselves and Hikaru also did so in her own eyes, although Hikaru traveled a very dark road to reach her own redemption.



End Character profile

---

OOC: A very great intro & perfectly detailed profile, Hikaru-san. (I'd say she's covered all the points of the character).



Feel free to post whenever your ready.



Anyway...I'll try to make this quick...datte...I've got some work to take care of.



Tsuki: (Where's is that ball of fluff? Has he even found his pals yet?)



Hikari: (This presence can only mean one thing...we're not alone as we thought we were).



Tsuki: Aibou...I've got a bad feeling about this.



Hikari: Ah.



Tsuki: You ready?



Hikari: One step ahead of ya.



Tsuki, Hikari: TRIFORIA ELEMENTAL YUUKOU!



Tsuki: Elements of fire, water, & wind?meld your powers into the eternal light, so that together we can win this fight.



Tsuki, Hikari: RELEASE THE LIGHT!



Suddenly, Tsuki?s amulet radiated a bright light, which then shot out 3 colored lights: red, blue, & green. At the same time, the gem on Hikari?s head glowed as well, which then bonded the 3 lights, to then create a sword & shield, to which Tsuki grabbed. Then?wings appeared out of Tsuki?s back, enveloped him, & when they pulled back, a white knight was in its place.



OOC: That'll do for now.

*cough* *cough*



Hikaru did her best to stifle her coughing, but still, she had to sit up on her futon with a handkerchief and do her best not to spread the germs everywhere.



"Oh dear."



She said with a pitifully stuffy voice.



"When will dis cold eber go away?"



Hikaru complained weakly as she looked down at her blankets. For almost a week now, she had been sick and laid up in bed. Her brothers had summer school to go to, as did her best friends Umi and Fuu. Her oldest brother was busy with his responsibilities as dojo master, but every chance he had he would come up to Hikaru's room to check up on her. Most of the time she was alone however. She did her best to blow her nose and try to clear up a little, then laid down to hide under her blankets. Only her eyes and tuft of red hair peeked out.



She hadn't been resting long when she noticed something moving up near her window. Hikaru watched to see if it was a bird of some kind because she loved birds, but instead she got an interesting surprise ...



"Puuuuuuu!!"



Mokona exclaimed gleefully as he hopped in through the opened window and landed on the floor near Hikaru. She was surprised to see him, but also glad to get a visit from a friend so she sat up on her futon again.



"Hebbo Mogona."



She greeted him the best that she could. Her stuffy voice, dark eyes, and red nose indicated that she wasn't feeling very well. Mokona's ears drooped and his face bacame sad when he realized that Hikaru was ill.



"Pu ..."



He answered sadly and jumped up into Hikaru's arms. She cracked a smile and giggled slightly before quickly grabbing her handkerchief and started another round of coughing. When it was over she apoligized to him.



"I'm sowwy Mogona, I been zigiess fo a few daysh, bud I'm habby dat you come doo zee me dough."



She said with the best that she could do for a smile. Mokona looked away from Hikaru's face. He knew why he had come to see Hikaru and it wasn't for just a friendly visit. Mokona needed her to return to Cephiro with him, and also for her to bring a few others with them, but seeing that Hikaru was ill, put him in a quandry because her health was important to him as well. When Mokona hadn't said anything for a bit, Hikaru started to become concerned.



"Ish dere subding wong Mogona?"



She asked him.

OOC: Heh...I had a feeling you'd do that.



Anyway...I suppose I think I could take things a bit over from here.



Mokona: Puu pu, puu pu. Pu, pu, pu. (There's something near Tokyo Tower that's entering from another dimension, & it's not from Cephiro. There's this guy & his winged lioness that's near the tower...and...he could use a bit of help.)



As an afterthought...



Mokona: Pu, puu, pu, pu, puu, pu, puu, pu. (I'll tell him to hold off the enemy for as long as possible till you're better. Hope you get well soon). *disappears*.



Meanwhile...back at Tokyo Tower...



Tsuki: (I have a bad feeling about this).



Hikari: Tsuki-kun...you think it's possible to head to the ruins of a destroyed city here?



Tsuki: What are you talking about? Are you saying that there's a city in Japan that was destroyed nearly completely because of this type of incident?



Hikari: It's possible.



Tsuki: I think I have a better idea. Since this is surrounded by water...we should just lure the enemy to the ocean. There's plenty of battle space there.



Hikari: Good point.



Few seconds later...Mokona reappeared on top of Tsuki's head.



Tsuki: Did you find one of your friends?



Mokona: Puu pu, puu, pu, pu, pu, puu, pu. (Yes...but...she's not doing too well).



Tsuki: (This is bad. I guess I'll have to hold off this guy long enough before help arrives.) Thanks for the info. Mokona. In case you see her again...tell her I'm 8 miles off Tokyo's coast. I'll be above the ocean.



Mokona: Pu, puu, pu, puu, pu. (No problem.) Then he disappears again.



Tsuki: (Let's just hope this works. Don't want a tsunami to appear as a result of this).

Hikaru watched as Mokona took a hop and then disappeared out her window the way he had come. She looked down at her blankets and started to fret with her hands.



"Oh no ... something is wrong in Cephiro!"



She thought to herself.



"Mokona would not have come to ask for my help if he didn't need it. Oh why must I be sick like this now?"



Hikaru started to become very worried. As the Pillar of Cephiro, she knew that there were certain things that only she could do and there could be dire consequences if she refused.



"I hab no choize, I hab do go do Zebiro, eben ib I am zick lige dis. Dere'z only one Billar ob Zebiro ..."



she admitted to herself in a resigned way. So Hikaru got up from bed and got her school uniform from the closet and changed out of her pajamas. Before tying the bow on her blouse, Hikaru went to her bureau and opened a beautifully decorated jewelry box that she kept on top of it. Inside was the golden necklace and mirror pendant that Lantis had given her. Hikaru put it on an tucked it into her blouse where she could keep it close to her heart. The warm memories of Lantis and the time that she had spent in Cephiro cheered her up quite a bit, even though she was physically ill. Then she tied the bow and put on her jacket. The weather in Tokyo at that time of the year was quite warm, but Hikaru wore her jacket anyways because the extra warmth did feel good and she didn't know what kind of weather to expect in Cephiro. Now she was ready.



"Hopefully onii-chan won't catch me sneaking out, but I will leave him a note anyways so that he won't worry."



she thought with consideration for her brother, so Hikaru wrote him a little note saying that she was lonely and went to visit Fuu.



"He will be cross with me anyways just for leaving the house, but hopefully he won't be upset with Fuu-chan."



she hoped as she placed the note on the kitchen table and sneaked out. Fortunately, Hikari was taking his afternoon nap and didn't create any noise as Hikaru stole her way across the yard and quietly exited out of the main gate. Once outside Hikaru was a little relieved, but she didn't have to walk very far before her illness started to affect her. Hikaru had to stop and blow her nose again and try not to cough.



"Oh my goodnesh, I don know ib I'll eben mage ib doo Dogio Dower. Ow will I eber sabe Zebiro?"



she wondered to herself and then continued onward.

Tsuki: (thinks: Something tells me that Mokona's friend is somewhat having a hard time. Maybe I should go check it out.)



Hikari: *notices*. No way. Uh-uh...there's no way I'm letting you off the hook that easily.



Tsuki: Nani?



Hikari: You're letting me battle that thing alone?



Mokona then reappears for the second time, telling Tsuki that he's having trouble finding the others.



Tsuki: (thinks: Well...I guess I'll just have to fight that thing myself then).



Mokona then disappeared again, while trying to find his remaining companions, Umi & Fuu.



OOC: Ano...Hikaru-san...just wanted to let you know...that I made a post last week on the active character's list...and...need your opinion on something. So...in case you're not too busy...will you check on it...onegai?

OOC: Eep! I'm sorry I haven't posted! ::hides:: Now I just have to figure out what to do with my character... when are we going to get to Cephiro... I wanna play Clef! ::glomps Clef::



I'm insane.

'I really don't remember taking any drugs... then could this be real?' Ari thought to herself as she watch the strange pair and the weird white fluffball. The semi-normal twosome had turned into something even stranger... and she could not help but marvel at the fact that no one else there seemed to see them.



Then there was the strange creature that kept popping out of nowhere. Though it might vaguely look like a bunny... it most certainly was not.



This day kept getting stranger and stranger. And with the way that they were talking... about an 'enemy' coming... and discussing battle plans... the day was about a whole lot weirder. She squared her shoulders, having come to a decision.



"Whatever is going on here, I'm helping."



OOC: Woah. That was definitely my longest post yet... Yay!

~~~~~~



I'll try to find a picture when I get back from vacation, the computer here is really slow.

Haven is an hyperactive fangirl (that needs more sleep and likes talking in third person...) that has an odd obsession with Clef's hands. Her favorite word is Erk. Erk!

OOC: Heh...you're fashionably late, Haven.



Guess you've been busy a bit lately? Possibly travelin'?



Anyway...I'll try to work on this sometime tom. Datte...I'm currently writing a fanfic that has the same scenario as this. But I'm not actually copying the stuff here to my fanfic.

Hikaru disembarked from the train after it had pulled to a stop in the Tokyo Tower station. She immediately took out her handkerchief and blew her nose again.



"Wow, I actually made it this far, so I guess that I'm doing pretty well."



she congratulated herself. Next she went over to the ticket office to purchase a ticket for the observation deck tour. The woman at the desk was a little reluctant to sell Hikaru a ticket because she sounded stuffy and looked so ill, but Hikaru was able to convince the woman to sell her the ticket. It was a very nice day and warm too, but even with her jacket on, Hikaru felt a slight chill whenever the wind would blow while she waited to board the elevator. Eventually her turn came up and she got into the elevator with about a dozen other people. As the car started to ascend, the confined space and Hikaru's cold made her feel very woozy and her head started to spin.



"Oh no ..."



she thought to herself as she lost her balance and started to slump down. Fortunately a young man near her in the elevator was gracious enough to catch Hikaru before she went down.



"Are you okay Miss?"



he asked her with concern. She tried to look up at him, but only was able to hold onto his arm.



"I feel ... weally ... dizzy ..."



was all that she could say.



"Not too good with elevators are you? Well, it's okay, I'll hold you until we get to the top."



He kindly offered and Hikaru just held on until the elevator stopped moving and the doors opened. At that point she let go and left the car with him.



"Dank you .. vewy mush ..."



she said to him sounding very stuffy, but with a little bit of a smile and then went and found a place to sit down. The altitude had affected Hikaru much more than she though it would. She was still feeling dizzy - sort of like being drunk.



"Oh gosh ... this is awful. I can barely stand up and walk so I'd better not try to summon myself to Cephiro yet. If I got too dizzy and fell down, everyone would be really worried and probably call an ambulance. Onii-chan would be furious with me."



she thought to herself and sighed.



"I should just sit here for a while, hopefully the dizziness will pass."



Hikaru figured. She blew her nose again and waited. Cephiro wasn't far away now, but what would she find when she got there?

Tsuki: *senses*. Heh...guess she made it then. Huh? (turns to the dark portal that was opening). Here it comes.



Hikari: I'll go tell Mokona's friend that you're here.



Tsuki: Matte...if she finds out...she'll probably think we're enemies. Besides...Mokona said she's feeling a bit ill. I don't even know if her friends are going to be around to help her.



Hikari: That's what the distraction's for.



Tsuki: (thinks: Sou desu). Wakarimashita. I'll hold off this thing for as long as possible. When you see this red beacon, it means that I could use a bit of help.



Hikari: Got it. (goes to Tokyo Tower).



Tsuki: (stares at the dark portal). (thinks: Ok...you. Come out so I can see you. Then you'll be in for the worst pounding of your life).



As the creature emerged from the portal, Tsuki was surprised & shocked at the same time. It was a double headed winged serpent.



Tsuki: Oh boy. This is going to take a while. Oh well...can't be helped. Let's go! (charges towards the double headed winged serpent)



The creature emits a loud roar, which caused Tsuki to cringe a bit & cover his ears. It then headed straight for him & the first head fired a flamethrower attack.



Tsuki: Talk about loud. *looks up*. (Not good).



Suddenly, a light is cast from the sword, which then causes a shield to materialize on his left hand.



Tsuki: *notices*. (That'll work). (Uses the sword to slash through the flames).



Then the 2nd head fires a blizzard attack.



Tsuki: (Great. This'll make my work either easier or harder.) (raises shield to block the 2nd attack). (Tries to strike at the first head, but the 2nd head blocks his way & strikes him on the stomach which then sends him down). Ooff! (starts to plummet towards the ground). (This guy's strong). (manages to regain control of his feet & stop the fall). (This'll be harder than I thought).

Edited by: Yuki Fukurou at: 7/19/05 10:58 pm

OOC:



Hmm... I'm guessing no one can see the serpent guy either? But then you said that everyone covered their ears when it roared... or did you just mean everyone that can see it?

Haven is an hyperactive fangirl (that needs more sleep and likes talking in third person...) that has an odd obsession with Clef's hands. Her favorite word is Erk. Erk!

OOC: Oops...let me fix that real quick. ^_^;

For about fifteen minutes or so Hikaru sat on the bench in the observation deck waiting for her head to stop swimming and the dizzyness to go away. Eventually, it slowly subsided as she got used to the higher elevation.



"Oh dear, if things keep up like this, this could be a very interesting mission."



she thought to herself. Again she blew her nose and just as she gained enough nerve to stand up ...



"Puuuu!!"



Mokona exclaimed again as he came out from around a corner and jumped up onto Hikaru's lap.



"Oh, Mogona! You're bagk!"



she said as she hugged him.



"Puu pu!"



he confirmed that he was back.



"Bleeze be guiet Mogona, beeble will shtare ab ush."



Hikaru asked and Mokona nodded acknowledgement.



"Are you wedy do go bagk do Zebiro Mogona?"



she inquired. Mokona shook his head side to side and replied



"Pu, puu, pupupu, puu puu, pu ..."



Hikaru was a little puzzled by this, so she tried to confirm ...



"Erm, dere ish udderz dat hab do gome wid ush, bud nod Umi and Fuu?"



Mokona confirmed that she was correct.



"Puu!"



Hikaru hugged Mokona again before she replied in a very weary sort of tone.



"Bud ... where are dey Mogona? I don'b know who dey are. Id wushn't eazy for me do get here Mogona anb I'm doo dired to searcgh for dem. Pweeze fide dem for me Mogona and bring dem here."



Hikaru started coughing again as she finished talking, but when it was over, Mokona just looked back sadly at his comrade. He knew that she was right. Hikaru was too exhausted to be searching the city for people that she didn't know and might even put herself in danger, so he agreed



"Pu pu!"



and hopped away in the same direction that he had come. Hikaru just blew her nose again and hugged herself as she sat and waited. The air conditioning in the observation deck had made her feel cold.

Just as Hikari neared the tower, she could've sworn that she saw a white fluff ball disappear.



Hikari: (How did...Mokona get all the way there? It must be looking for its remaining comrades. Their leader must still be in a weak condition).



Meanwhile, as the battle raged on in the air, people sometimes stared up at the sky & keep noticing white specks of light, even though the sun was up...then went about their business.



Tsuki: (pants). (This is going to be a LONG day).



Then the 2nd head fired its blizzard attack again.



Tsuki: Shimatta! (Raises shield) (Gets pushed back). *grunts*. (Oh no you don't!) (Tries to push back). (Fine...if you want to play that way...then let's dance!) (Points sword at the second head firing the blizzard atack). TAKE THIS!!! (Sword fires a ray of light at the second head, only to be blocked by the first head). (Kuso! Can't even get a clear shot at 'im!)



Then the first head fires its flamethrower attack again.



Tsuki: (You're pushing your luck.) (Uses sword to slice through the flames). (Tries to strike the first head, but the 2nd head blocks & takes the hit & shrieks in pain). (Cringes & covers ears). That's gettin' really annoying.

Hikaru awoke suddenly startled and looked around. She had been so exhausted from her interpid journey to the Tokyo Tower that she had simply slumped over in her seat and fallen asleep.



"Oh dear, I can't believe that I fell asleep!"



she thought to herself. Hikaru rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and blew her nose. During her nap she had become horribly congested and it took a bit for her to clear herself up. When she started to feel more human and less like a big stuffed nose, Hikaru got up and walked over to the window. She didn't feel the dizzyness like she had before, so the nap might have actually done her some good. As she looked to the west Hikaru saw that the sun was large and golden orange as it began to set.



"Mokona hasn't come back yet with the others that he mentioned. The observation deck will be closing soon and I will forced to leave. If Cephiro needs me I have to go, there is only one Pillar, no one else can take my place. If others are needed as well, I will just have to come back for them."



she reasoned. Hikaru untied the bow on her shirt and reached in to retrieve the pendant Lantis had given her. Apart from the Pillar's power itself, this was the only object that she had been permitted to take back to her world from Cephiro. Hikaru held the pendant in front of her and the memories it invoked awakened in her heart the deep love she felt for Cephiro. At that moment, a great golden light that only she could see shone brilliantly in through the windows of the observation deck. As the light enveloped her, Hikaru felt the floor give way and disappear beneath her. She began to fall and as she did so the rapid change in altitude brought back the dizzyness - and with a fierce vengeance. The whole world around her (now Cephiro) began to spin wildly and Hikaru cried out in fright ...



"Waaaaaaaaahhh! Nooooooooo!!"



... and an instant later everything went black.



Hikaru had no idea of how long she had been unconscious or what had happened in between, but as she slowly opened her eyes, she could see that she was in a room and lying in a warm and very comfortable bed. A very concerned and gentle voice met her ears ...



"Oh thank goodness! You're awake Hikaru! How do you feel? are you okay?"



Then she turned to she the face of the voice's owner - Presea - who was there with her and very worried.

OOC: Heh...nice timing, Hikaru-san.



Tsuki suddenly noticed a huge flash of light appear, blinding both him & the monster. Luckily he managed to raise his shield to block the blinding light & managed to get far enough from the monster.



After it started to dim, he suddenly noticed that the monster had already left.



Tsuki: ? (thinks: Odd. Somethin' doesn't seem right). Aibou!



Hikari then returned a few minutes later with a disappointed look on her face.



Hikari: So far...it seems that the leader's friends haven't arrived yet. And it seemed that the leader fell asleep for a moment. Other than that...she seemed to have entered a different dimension.



Tsuki: One in which the world that she just currently went into, seemed to be supported by one person alone. One in which...your enemy seems to be residing in for the moment. Biding his time. Though they may find us as enemies at first glance, we have to find a way to get there & explain the whole situation.



Hikari: Yes...but...w/o Mokona...how else will he be able to notify his leader. And what's worse...what if my nemesis has already struck.



Tsuki: Come on now...we can't think that. We have to believe that we can beat it. No matter how hard it may seem. Even if the odds are against us. We can't give up now.



Hikari: *sighs*. You're right.



Suddenly, a few minutes later, Mokona appeared ontop of Hikari.



Tsuki: Any luck finding your other comrades?



Mokona: (sadly). Puu, pu, pu, pu, puu, pu, puu, puu, pu, puu, pu. (No...I haven't had any luck at all. Besides...if they found them talking to me...it would seem to the others that they're talking to themselves.)



Tsuki: I see your point. Anyway...your leader seems to have gotten a bit better & has headed currently to the place that you seem to have created. Go & tell her & her other friends that we'll be waiting at the top of Tokyo Tower. After you do...I hope you manage to find your other remaining companions. Best of luck to you Mokona.



Mokona: Pu, puu, puu, pu, pu, puu, pu. (Thanks. And to you too.) (He suddenly disappears in a flash & heads over to Cephiro to inform Hikaru & the others).



(Hops around the castle for a moment, till he comes to the huge observance hall in which Clef & the others reside in).



Mokona: (finds Presea & Hikaru). (notices that Hikaru is a bit concious). (hops over to where Hikaru is). Puu, pu, puu, pu, pu, puu, pu, puu, puu, pu, pu, pu. Puu, pu, puu, pu, puu, pu. (Hi again, Hikaru-san. Just came to tell you that there are others waiting at the top of Tokyo Tower. I've tried to find Umi & Fuu...but I've had no luck. How are you currently feeling?)

Hikaru sat up a little in bed when Mokona showed up. At first she was a little mystified as to why Mokona had decided to show up now that Hikaru was already in Cephiro, but assumed that there must have been a reason for it. Unfortunately Hikaru still didn't feel very well.



"Oh dere you are Mogona. I waded for you ad deh Dogio Dower, bud id was closing so I ad do gome ere anyway."



Then Hikaru turned to Presea ..



"Oh I jusd remeber ... I don know wad happen ... ow did I ged ere Miss Presea?"



"It was very strange Miss Hikaru. Your Mashin, Rayearth, he brought you here to the castle. No one knew that you were coming so we were very surprised to see you. But you were unconscious. At first we feared the worst, but Master Mage Clef knew that you were still alive and uninjured, so we brought you here to rest. That was yesterday and since then someone has been here at all times to watch over you. I'm just so relieved that you are well."



Presea leaned over the bed and gave Hikaru an affectionate hug and Hikaru hugged her back, both of them rather tearful. After they had finished Hikaru had to explain that she wasn't completely well.



"Erm, I'm nod all dad well Miss Presea. I'b been sigies for a while now, a really bad gold ..."



Hikaru got her handkerchief out and blew her nose again and, cleared herself up a little bit.



"Now Mokona tells me that he has other friends waiting for me back at the Tokyo Tower. I have to go back and get them."



She starts to get up from bed, but Presea stops her.



"Oh no you don't. You're not in any condition to be doing any of that Miss Hikaru. You must stay and rest until you are well, otherwise you will never get rid of your cold."



"But ... but Miss Presea, I'm the Pillar of Cephiro ... no one else can do this ..."



"Indeed you are the Pillar of Cephiro Miss Hikaru. That is why you mean so much to us ... to me ..."



Tears started to well up in Presea's eyes again as she went on ...



"If anything dreadful were to happen to you, you know what would happen to Cephiro without its Pillar. And I remember how hard we worked together to renew your sword after it had been broken. We've been through so much together Miss Hikaru that ... that I just can't let you take such a risk."



Hikaru looked back at Presea and saw the worry in her eyes. There had always been a special bond between the two of them. Hikaru's mom had died when Hikaru was very young and since then Presea was the only person that Hikaru had come to think of as a mother figure. She knew that Presea was right. If Rayearth hadn't saved her, Hikaru might have died summoning herself to Cephiro and may face that possibility again if she were to return to Tokyo. For now Hikaru just sat up in bed clutching her blankets in front of her, still very worried.

Mokona: (sadly). Pu, puu, pu, puu, pu, pu, pu. (I understand. I'll try & look for the others still & let them know the current situation. In the meantime...get well soon Hikaru-san.) *disappears*.



Suddenly...Lantis rushes into the room, realizing that Hikaru wasn't feeling well.



Lantis: (rushes to her side). Hikaru-san...daijoubu desu ka? (turns to Presea). Any clue as to how she got here?



Meanwhile...back at Tokyo Tower...



Tsuki: (sitting atop Tokyo Tower). (thinks: I hope the leader gets well soon. I'm not sure when the enemy is going to strike again, or worse...where). *sighs*.



Hikari: Daijoubu, Tsuki-sama?



Tsuki: Eh...hai. Mou daijoubu desu, aibou.



Hikari: Iie. Daijoubu ja nai, ja nai.



Tsuki: *sighs*. Ok...you win. It's just...I just can't help but wonder what the enemy wants with you.



Hikari: Hmm...



Tsuki: (looks down below). (sees people starting to leave the tower.) (thinks: Looks like they're about to close). Might as well make the best of it. (takes out a blanket). See you in the morning, aibou.



Hikari: Hai...Tsuki-sama. Oyasumi nasai. (snuggles up close to him).



Tsuki: ^_^. *whispers*. Aishiteru, Hikari-san.



Hikari: *gasps*. (blushes). *softly*. Watashi mo...Tsuki-sama. (thinks: Sweet dream, koishii Tsuki-sama).



Meanwhile, in the dark corners of the night, Mokona kept popping in & out of the sakura trees, trying to find the other 2 Magic Knights & explain to them the current situation they would soon have to face.

::smiles sheepishly:: 'ello. I'm back. Umm... don't hurt me? ^.^;;

I'll try to come up with a Clef posty... and I guess we're/I'm dropping Ari...



~~



The lavender haired Mage paced the hallways of Cephiro's Castle. The servents gave him a wide berth; they all knew from experience never to bother him when he had that look on his face. The Master Mage had quite a temper when provoked.



What he had told Presea and the others was true, Hikaru was perfectly fine except for the cold. He was not worried about her. He was worried about the fact that she was weaker than normal because of it, and he had the inkling that they would need their Pillar to be as strong as possible.



He couldn't take his mind off the strange power that he and Lantis had sensed. He clenched his staff tighter, and suddenly whirled around, sending servents scattering in all directions as they leapt to avoid him. He headed at a fast pace toward the room where Hikaru was resting.



He swung the door open, and observed that Presea and Lantis were both already in the room. He gave them both a curt nod, then turned his attention to the Pillar.



"Do you have any idea what's going on?"



~~



::nods:: I like writing stressed out Clef. I'm not sure why... ::smiles sheepishly:: I hope this was ok.



Ah yes. Do you think that we're going to get any others to play? Is anyone going to play, say... Umi? If no one else is, I will, since I'm dropping Ari.



::smiles extremely sheepishly:: Of course, my wanting to play Umi had NOTHING to do with the fact that I'm also playing Clef and I'm a huge supporter of Clemi... nothing at all to do with THAT...



(Does anyone have a problem with Clemi?)

OOC: *laughs*. Talk about fashionably late. Been busy? Out lately?



That's ok. I'm not quite sure exactly who would play the other 2 Knights...though...it IS starting to feel...a bit incomplete w/o them. And I can't help but wonder how much longer does Mokona have to look before I add the enemy back in.

Hehe, well, I had been back a couple of times, but I hadn't seen anywhere where I could really reasonable stick my character in. So, I didn't post until then. ^.^;;



But I have been kinda busy, my school started back up (grr!) and I'm also working on my wn fanfic... ::smiles sheepishly::



Yes, it is feeling a bit incomplete. That's why I offered to play Umi! And if no one wants to play Fuu... we could always kill her off! ::cuckles maniacly:: O.o;; And then have Ferio kill himself because Fuu's dead...

Heh...that's kinda evil. I suppose I could ask Hikaru-san if I could play Fuu. (Heck...after watching most of the MKR series...I think I've figured out ea. Knight's personalities).



Um...what wn fanfic? Hope you manage to get it done. Heh...luckily for me...school doesn't start till the 30th for me. As for the day before that...I've got some work to take care of at my school. (Specifically help the freshmen out).



And...not to mention...it's 2 days before my birthday. ^_^

Yeppers, I have very evil, especially when it comes to Fuu. I don't really like her... ^.^;;



I suppose now we're waiting for Hikaru-chan... she's the only one now that can move along the plot... ^.^

((OOC: I'm really sorry for taking so long. v_v))



Hikaru's face lit up as much as could be expected with her illness dampening her spirits. As soon as Lantis came to her bedside, she reached over and gave him a hug, but not a very long one.



"Oh Landis! Id's so good do see you again! Bud I hobe dad you don' ged siggies from me."



she finished with a sigh and blew her nose again. Hikaru really was excited to see her old friends again, but she was having a very difficult time showing it. After she had cleared herself up a bit Hikaru could speak a little more clearly and answered Lantis.



"I came because Mokona told me that I needed to come to Cephiro again, that the Pillar of Cephiro was needed. It was difficult to come because of my illness, and that's also why I wasn't able to bring Umi-chan and Fuu-chan with me, because I was sick. I'm sorry."



Presea replied



"Oh Hikaru! You should have stayed in your world until you had recovered from your illness! It was dangerous for you to come here in this condition."



"I'm ... I'm sorry Presea. I know that you are right, but there's only one Pillar of Cephiro, only me. No one else can do the job."



Hikaru tried to justify what she did, but Presea also had an answer.



"That's right, there is only one Pillar, and that's what makes you so important. If something dreadful had happened and we lost you Hikaru, Cephiro would start to crumble again and all of us would have lost a very dear friend. So because of this, you must stay here and rest until you are well. Then we can help you find the other Magic Knights. I'll even go with you to your world if that's what it takes Hikaru!"



Presea promised her. Hikaru looked back at Presea and could see that she meant every word. In a way she was relieved. Presea had taken charge and taken responsibility for Hikaru. At that moment a lot of Hikaru's worries drifted away.



"Okay. I agree too so for now I will just rest here until my cold goes away ... actually I've been feeling a lot better since I've come to Cephiro. Then we can talk about what's been happening here lately and why Mokona asked me to come here to Cephiro again."



She finished with a lovely smile that Hikaru hadn't been able to make for a while now.

OOC: Daijoubu. Wakarimasen. Hontou desu. Take your time, Hikaru-san. No need to rush.



As the sun rose over Tokyo, Tsuki stirred a bit, wiped the sleepiness from his eyes & did a quick stretch. As he looked beyond Tokyo, he couldn't help but wonder to himself, 'Did I actually confess my true feelings to Hikari-san? If so...I wonder how she's going to react? Besides...I wonder if Mokona managed to find his remaining comrades.'



Meanwhile, as the sun rose over Tokyo, Fuu was about to leave, when her older sister, Kuu, stopped her again.



"You going to visit with your friends again, Fuu?" asked Kuu.



"Yes...I am. I'm sorry for not letting you know," said Fuu.



"There's no need. I can see why though," she answered.



"Then...I'll see you when I get back," said Fuu.



A few minutes later, Mokona appeared from one of the sakura trees nearby her place.



"Pu, puu, pu, puu," it said. (There you are Fuu.)



"Sir Mokona...how'd you...where'd you..." wondered Fuu.



"Pu, puu, puu, pu, pu, puu, pu," it said. (No time to explain. Hikaru-san's not feeling well. And...she went to Cephiro in her sick condition for some odd reason.)



"She what?" asked a shocked Fuu.

OOC: Yes! This thread is begining to become alive again! ::dances happily::



By the way, now that I'm playing Umi, I may insert a bit of Clemi, if no one minds, of course. ^.^ Not that much in this post, but perhaps in the future.



IC:



Clef brooded on the Fire Knight's words, then reached out through all of Cephiro with his magic. That presence was still there, tainting the very edge of his country. It was an extremely powerful aura, its degree of magic easily matching Clef's own. He clenched his staff. Can't Cephiro ever attain peace?! Are we doomed forever to have some type of war on our hands?



"You should not have come..." He did not realize that he was speaking aloud until the words left his mouth. "It weakened you... and now we need you at your most powerful."



He tilted his head slightly back, his soft lavender hair falling over his eyes. He considered his words. "But perhaps it is good that you came... you may not have been safe on Earth either... at least here we can watch over you." The lavender haired Mage suddenly realized that no one in the room, besides Lantis, knew what he talking about. I suppose that they should know... who knows when it will strike... He explained his words. "I sensed a powerful presence enter Cephiro. I have reason to believe that it may mean us harm." He paused. "I hope that Umi and Fuu arrive soon... we may need them."



~~~



Umi sweatdropped. It was getting increasingly annoying every time her parents started winking and nudging each other when Umi told them that she was going off to Tokyo Tower. She knew that her parents thought that she was really off to meet a boy.



A wistful expression crossed her face as she slammed the door behind her and walked down the street. That would apply to Fuu or Hikaru- but not to her. She had no lover waiting in Cephiro, no matter how hard she wished that there was. She valiantly attempted to shove all thoughts of a certain lavender haired Mage out of her head.



OOC: ::wanders in:: Was that OK? I hopes so!

I'll try to find a picture when I get back from vacation, the computer here is really slow.

OOC: Perfect timing, Haven. Now that we can use the remaining two Knights, I can also use Mokona as well. Only thing is...since Hikaru-san's the only one able to use the summoning spell, & since her character is slowly starting to get better, I might put in the antagonist sometime later. As soon as my character's are at Tokyo Tower. (which they still are). But...I'm pretty sure you'll get what I mean.



As Tsuki sat at the edge of Tokyo Tower thinking, he faintly heard his partner, starting to wake up.



Hikari: *yawns*. (rubs the sleep from her eyes). *blinks*. (Notices Tsuki is wide & awake.) Ohayou...Tsuki-sama.



Tsuki: (notices). Ohayou...aibou. Sleep well?



Hikari: Hai. (flies over to where he is). Ano...Tsuki-sama...



Tsuki: (turns to her). Hai?



Hikari: I know that...by the time we get to the other world...it'll be a whole new experience for us.



Tsuki: Ah...sou ne.



Hikari: Yet...before I go with you...there's something I need to show you.



Tsuki: Huh? (turns & faces her).



Hikari: (the green gem on her forehead began to glow & a bright light was emitted).



Tsuki: (shields his eyes from the bright light for a brief moment). *gasps*.



Hikari: (in human form). (blond hair, blue eyes, white robe w/gold lining at the bottom of the robe).



Tsuki: (stares for a moment, still in shock). Is...is that you...Hikari-san?



Hikari: Hai...Tsuki-sama...this is my real form.



Tsuki: (tries to speak, but still...surprised). Y-yo...you...you look...beautiful.



Hikari: (slightly blushes). Arigatou.



Tsuki: So...is there something you needed to ask me?



Hikari: Hai. I know that this is our fight...well...personally...it's mine actually. And...I'm glad to have met you.



Tsuki: Ah...same here. (both are a few inches from each other).



Hikari: And...I know I've only known you for a short while but...I was wondering...d-do......do you...



Tsuki: ........Hai?



Hikari: *sighs*. It's nothing. Never mind.



Tsuki: *giggles slightly*. No...come on...ask me. I'll answer it the best I can.



Hikari: Can you just...promise me something?



Tsuki: Sure.



Hikari: Promise me...that...no matter what happens...that you'll always be there for me?



Tsuki: (holds her close to him). I'll do my best. I won't leave you. No matter what.



Hikari: (blushes a bit). (thinks: Tsuki-sama...if only there was a way I could tell you how I truly feel about you.)



Meanwhile...back where Umi & Mokona were...



Mokona: Pu, puu, pu, puu, pu, pu, puu. (I'll try to find Umi & explain to her the situation. I'll explain the rest at Tokyo Tower.)



Fuu: Ok. (she then runs towards Tokyo Tower).



Mokona: (disappears & goes off to find Umi).



Unknowingly to Tsuki, Hikari & the others was that they were being watched by an almost unseen force.



?: sss, sss, sss. Sssso...the party will be at Cephiro, I ssssee. Thisssss ssshhhould be interesssssting. Sss, sss, sss.

Hikaru awoke on the third morning of her stay in Cephiro. It was actually the fourth, but she didn't actually remember anything from the first. She sat up in bed and blew her nose with her handkerchief, but there was surprisingly little today and Hikaru's head felt much more normal today and much less like a big stuffed extension of her nose.



"Oh good, I think that my cold is finally going away."



She remarked to herself and got up from bed. She was also relieved to find that she was alone in her bedroom and that Presea, Caldina, and Lantis had given up their 24 hour watch over her at least temporarily. After Hikaru had first arrived, Presea had changed her out of her school uniform and dressed Hikaru in a pretty silk nightgown since it was evident that Hikaru would be spending some time in bed. When Hikaru went to the bureau and could see herself in the mirror, she untied the ribbon at the end of her hair braid and unbraided her long hair. Then she took the brush and began to brush her hair out. Hikaru normally did this once or twice a day, but she had noticed that the other girls at her school brushed their hair much more often. She had suggested to some of them that if they braided their hair like she did, they wouldn't have to spend so much time brushing, but they just giggled and laughed at Hikaru and she really didn't know why. After Hikaru had finished brushing out her hair, she reached to part it into three sets of strands, but she suddenly stopped. Something about her appearance at that moment struck her. The nightgown that she wore was white with ruffled gathers sewn around the neckline and around the short pouffy sleeves at her shoulders. There was also some simple golden latticework sewn around the middle that helped make it fit her properly. It was the first time that Hikaru had seen herself in Cephiran clothing other than her Magic Knight's armor and with her hair down and flowing around herself, Hikaru thought that she looked sort of like a princess. It was then that she knew what she saw in the mirror - the Pillar of Cephiro.



"Princess Emeraude ..."



Hikaru thought to herself sadly.



"I'll never forget you Princess Emeraude ... and what I did to you ... I'm so sorry ..."



she apologized in her thoughts and her eyes began to glisten with tears. Her memory also felt the invisible crown of the Pillar that she wore herself now. Hikaru reached out and touched it with her heart and as she did so, the shape of the crown began to glow upon her forehead with a soft golden light. Soon the light faded and the bright gold metal of the crown's normal appearance could be seen as Hikaru looked up at the mirror and saw herself. For probably the first time Hikaru recognized what she saw as the Pillar of Cephiro.



"Because of what I did to you Princess Emeraude, it is only right that now I must take the burden of your responsibilities and continue your work. A sacred task that you felt unworthy of yourself. The responsibilites of the Pillar were supposed to be assumed by the people who love the land of Cephiro, but it seems that there hasn't been enough time for that to happen yet. Now some unknown power has come to threaten Cephiro already and the Pillar is needed again. I promise that I won't let you down Princess Emeraude."

OOC: Good timing, Hikaru-san.



As Fuu ran towards Tokyo Tower at a fast rate, Tsuki & Hikari were still up at the top of the Tower, watching people go about their business.



Tsuki: 'I wonder if Mokona managed to find his other comrades yet'.



Hikari: (sits next to Tsuki). What'cha thinking about Tsuki-sama?



Tsuki: I just realized something. The longer it takes for Mokona's friends to get here, the more the other world in which their leader teleported to will be in jeopardy. And we don't even know when the enemy will strike or where.



Hikari: Mm-hmm.



Just then Tsuki then caught a glimpse of someone running towards Tokyo Tower at a fast rate. It was a young girl in a green school uniform with light brown hair. A few seconds later, Tsuki then caught on to what was going on.



Tsuki: Aibou...I have a sudden hunch here.



Hikari: A hunch? And what is that may I ask?



Tsuki: That girl that's heading over to Tokyo Tower, is probably one of the leader's friends.



Hikari: So it seems.



Tsuki: You mean...you saw her too?



Hikari: *nods*.



Meanwhile, as Mokona continued his search for Umi, the Magic Knight of Water, he then spotted some sort of mansion-like house.



Mokona: Pu, puu. (This it?). (waits in the trees).

OOC: Yes! Hikaru-chan posted! ::glomps::



Hm... I'm not sure what I'm going to do for this post... :: pokes Clef:: There's not much I can do with him until all of the Magic Knights get to Cephiro and the action starts. This is likely to be a short post...



IC:



Umi caught something white moving out of the corner of her eye. She paused, glancing up. She squinted up at the branches above her, and brushed a lock of blue hair out of her eyes. No... no, it couldn't be! He wouldn't be here... on Earth...



"Mokona?!" She asked incredulously.



OOC: Yes... very short. I was right. At least now Mokona can say someting to her, and then I can have her go to Cephiro/Tokyo Tower... ::sheepish:: I promise it will be longer next time...

Mokona: (pops his little head out of the tree). Pu, pu, pu, puu. (There you are, Umi-san.) (hops down). Pu, pu, pu, puu, pu, puu, pu, puu, pu, pu, pu, puu. (I already explained to Fuu about the current situation that will soon affect both your world & Cephiro. She's currently at Tokyo Tower. Hikaru-san was in a sick condition, and...for some reason...got to Cephiro w/o using the summoning spell.) Pu, puu, pu, pu, puu pu. (One more thing, when you head to Tokyo Tower, there will be 2 more waiting for you. A reborn warrior & his partner will be waiting for you at the Tower. Once there, I'll explain everything to you all & then I'll tell Hikaru that you guys are here & are waiting.)



As Fuu ascended to the top, she couldn't help but wonder, 'How could Hikaru-san managed to go to Cephiro, in her sick state? Oh...I hope she's all right. Not only that...but...it seems that we're about to head into another battle'.



When she got to the top, she waited over where the telescopes were. Yet, just as she did, she heard footsteps heading over to where she was. When she turned around, she just couldn't help but stare in awe & surprise. A young man & a young lady dressed in a white robe with gold lining at the bottom of her robe were standing before her.



"W-who are you?" asked Fuu.
