Diclaimer: Since Foxkids had the balls to take Jikuu Tantei Genshi-kun off the air....can I have it? Please? ^_^;
AN: AAHHH!!! O_o;;; Sheesh....I haven't written in a long time! Gomen-nasai, minna-san! Too much homework! I live in Canada, so our Socials teacher gave us this huge ass project about the Election 2000. Stupid Canadians....I only live here! I was born in the USA!! No fair!! Well, here's the next installment of the Fabled Were-Sara! Enjoy!
The Tarot Time Shifters by Ly the werewolf
Two teenage girls sat quietly in a dark room. A single candle burned brightly, the only source of illumination in the dark and dismal room. Sara Goodman glanced around. The walls were a deep red, almost with a shade of black to them. Posters and wall scrolls of pentacles, elements, runes and tarot decorated the walls. The carpet was dead black. She looked straight ahead to the only other person in the room. A very good friend of hers, Inge Tatsuko, sat across from her, a small tea table the only thing seperating the two girls. Inge's mother was born in England, so that's where her unfamiliar name came from. Inge had just recently transferred schools, and she and Sara became fast friends. Sara continued to stare at her friend, who was obviously deep in thought. " Inge?" She asked in a quiet whisper. " Inge?" She asked again. No response. " Inge!"
" Huh?" Her friend blinked in surprise. " Oh....is something wrong, Sara-chan?"
" No, I just wanted to make sure you were still alive over there!" Inge smiled warmly.
" Ha ha, very funny, Sara. Now let me concentrate, or I'll never get your tarot reading done!" Inge had told Sara that her thing was the occult. Not like Satanism, or sacrificing chickens or goats, but Wicca, the religion. She also read rune stones, horoscopes, and especially tarot. That was her speciality. Sara closed her eyes and smiled faintly. Knowing that Inge was into this stuff didn't scare her at all. Wicca is harmless, you just believe in a God and a Goddess. Tarot and runestones were funky, and she wasn't into drugs or anything like that. Also, all of the new age stuff she was into made her feel relaxed. Inge seemed to give out an aura of happiness and relaxation. Besides, Sara had the feeling that the fact she was a werewolf wouldn't phase her too much. She hoped. " Okay..." Sara promptly snapped out of her daydream, and turned her attention to a very busy Inge. " The cards say that you will embark on a journey of learning and love very soon. And - uh oh." Sara fidgeted.
" What do you mean 'uh oh'?"
" Look at this. " Inge held up a card titled 'TOWER' in between two fingers. "The Tower card means that either yourself or someone close to you will have some bad times coming up." The young girl smiled. " But don't mess yourself over it, Sara. Fate and destiny are just words. You have the power to change that. Just watch yourself, okay? The cards are never wrong." Sara sat up and stretched.
" Well," she stated. " What a way to spend after school, huh?" The other teen smiled. " Domo arigato for having me over to your house, Inge! You were a wonderful guest. See ya tomorrow!" Sara glanced behind her as she saw her new friend wave goodbye as she slipped her shoes on. As she was walking down the street, Sara glanced at her watch. 5:16 pm. " Oh no! Flint and the others are expecting me home!" She wailed, as she dashed off to her home.
Less than 10 minutes later, the front door to a small, ratty building called THE BUREAU OF TIME AND SPACE swung open. The entire crew was there - Flint and his father, her uncle, Dr. Goodman, her ferternal twin Tony, her boyfriend Merlock Holmes, and all the time shifters who took residence there. " Hi *gasp* everyone! *wheeze* Gomen-nasai, minna-san for being late. I had to run all the way here!" She explained, while slipping her shoes off. Flint greeted her with his trademark grin.
" You're just in time, Sara! Ms. Grey just called with a new mission!" She followed Flint over to the lab, where, sure enough, the emotionless face of Ms. Gillian Grey filled the moniter. Sara gently kissed Merlock and settled herself in his arms. She couldn't help but notice her 'younger' brother making 'eww, gross!' faces at the young couple. The young teen stuck out her tounge in a counter-attack. Ms. Grey began her message.
" Konnichiwa, Time Detectives. Our sensors have just picked up four new time shifters." Dr. Goodman looked surprised.
" Four? Hmm." He mused, making an 'I'm impressed' noise.
" Yes, four. These time shifters are referred to as the 'Tarot Time Shifters.' There are almost 20 of them all together, but for now, I'm ordering you to just retrieve the first four." A four-way-split image came up onto the screen, showing four gothic looking time shifters. " These are the four main Tarot Time Shifters," she continued. Their names are Cup, Sword, Wand and Pentacle. They represent the four main categories of Tarot card reading. " The group took a closer look at the quartet of time shifters. Each one either had the physical shape or was adornded with each respective symbol. Tony scoffed.
" Aw, they don't look so tough." Ms. Grey's face reappeared on the screen.
" Don't be so sure of yourself, Time Detectives. Seperatly, they're not that powerful. But together, their powers are indeed formidable. But, I don't think you'll have to worry about getting hurt." Flint looked confused.
" Why?" he asked.
" Because, according to our research, the four of them hate eachother. Anyways, you must retrieve them before the Dark Lord does. Although, you might have a bit more time. " This time, Merlock asked the question.
" Well, how come?"
" Our data is still a bit sketchy, but the rest of the Tarot Time Shifters are mostly good, but some of them are very powerful and evil, much like the Uglinator. I think these ones are Judgement, Devil, Hangman, the Magician, and the Tower. According to our research, Tower is the one we should fear the most. " Tony rolled his eyes.
" Well, if these time shifters are so dangerous, why aren't we after them?" Gillian took a breath.
" Because," she replied. " They are still somewhere in the flow of time, or so we think. Our computers can't pick up their signals from any time period. Anyway, since these four are more readily availible, Petra Fina will most likely be after these four instead. " Sara spoke up for the first time since she got there.
" Isn't the Death card one of the Time shifters?" She inquired.
" Yes, but the Tarot Death isn't necissarily bad. All it means is rebirth." She respnoded. " Here's your time card. The time coordinates are set for 1550 Central Europe, where the Tarot first originated. Good luck, Time Detectives." The screen faded away to darkness, and a small gold card came sliding out of a slot just below it. Flint motioned for his friends to join him on the Time Cycle. Merlock hopped onto his smaller white one (ever seen the episode Enter the Unicorn, with Unita? That thing. Kinda resembles a scooter. ^_^), with Bindi hovering just behind him.
" Okay, here we go!" Flint shouted, as the entire gang sped off into the eternal mainstream of time.
