Like a drop of rain, our heroes Syaoran, Kurogane, Fai, and, of course, Moko-chan fell from the sky into their next world. This world was different from the ones they had visited before. It had nothing, showed nothing, and was indeed nothing. This world was merely a blank background contrasting against the travelers.

"Hey! Did you guys hear that?" The Japanese ninja, Kurogane, shouted into the void.

"Hear what, Kuro-tan?" Fai replied.

"YEAH! What is it Kuro-pu?!" The adorable Mokona taunted. Syaoran merely studied his empty surroundings.

Kurogane huffed. "Quiet, all of you! It's almost as if…" Kurogane cut off mid-sentence waiting to see if- "THERE! YA' SEE!" The others looked at him blankly.

"I think Kurogane may be on to something," Syaoran contemplated, still studying the world they had arrived in. "If you know what to listen for, it's almost as if someone is narrating our every move," He paused. "Really badly." Kurogane smirked in triumph. "See. Kid get's it."

"Really…" Fai stared blankly with his head resting on a fist; it was the very image of 'The Thinking Man' statue. "Yes, I think I can understand. Every action we make is being narrated, but there isn't any voice to go with it… And I don't sense any strange magic powers… How about you, Mokona?"

Mokona pouted a little. "Nope, Mokona doesn't sense anything unusual. Not in the slightest."

Kurogane growled quietly. "Then can we leave already?! This place is getting on my nerves! There hasn't even been one plant, or animal, or even a light breeze since we got here!" Syaoran nodded, still wary of the blank setting. Fai shrugged with a slight laugh at the warrior's temper.

"Alright then!" The small, white creature yelled. "Mokona Modoki is ready to- OW!!" An abrupt bit of static shocked the tiny thing, stopping it from transporting the travelers as well as knocking it to the ground.

"What happened?! Are you okay?!" Syaoran frantically yelled. Fai and Kurogane were staring in shock.

But, despite the shock and fear the others felt, Mokona bounced back up and giggled joyfully. "NO NEED TO WORRY! Mokona's fine!" The others sighed (two in relief, one in irritation I'll let you guess who ;P)

"That was strange," he stated. "It's like in Record Country; someone doesn't want us to leave… But who? And why?"

"Hmm." Fai kneeled and carefully picked up a slip of paper that had fallen in front of him. "Maybe this has some sort of clue… can any of you read this?" Syaoran accepted the slip of paper and began to read:

CONGRATULATIONS!

The four of you have finished your quest for the feathers and have begun a new journey!

"YEAH, BUT HOW THE HELL DID THEY KNOW THAT?!" Kurogane fussed. An invisible force slapped him across the face causing the meat bun and the mage to burst into laughter. "OH, YOU CAN BURN IN HELL!" The ninja shouted to the vacant sky.

"Whoa! That was strange!" Syaoran mumbled.

"YOU THINK?! SOMETHING JUST HIT ME AND I COULDN'T EVEN SENSE IT! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?!"

"No, not that. The words on the paper changed. Now it says:

I KNOW ALL!

Now don't interrupt me again or something even more humiliating will happen to you!

"Yeah, Kuro-rin, don't interrupt."

"Hah. You just interrupted, fur ball. That means-" Suddenly a pie flew out of nowhere and hit Kurogane in the face. Fai and Mokona exploded into laughter.

Don't yell at the almighty Mokona.

Kurogane began to boil with rage. (No, seriously the pie filling was actually boiling.) "Um, sorry Kurogane. I'm just reading what it says…"

"Just get on with it."

Now, as you know, the world you have landed in is blank.

That is because this world belongs to me.

I can turn it into whatever I want, whenever I want.

Not only that. I can also make you do anything I please as well.

"How interesting." The magician said with a quizzical expression. "Then could you show us an example of what you could do?"

GLADLY!

Shortly after, the vacant space became a large world of stairs bent in every direction. Syaoran, who had been unlucky enough to have been standing in the wrong spot at the wrong time, had fallen down the endless steps.

" SYAORAN!!" Fai and the others screamed. Once he had disappeared from sight, they began to panic, only to notice that he was still rolling on another set of stairs going… sideways? He continued to fall down stairways going in every direction until he came to a stop behind the others.

"Okay. I may not have a scratch on me, but that was still scary…" He admitted. Then, realizing there was still a narrator, he began to read again.

Sorry, wasn't quite expecting that…

Guess I don't have as much control as I thought.

"'NOT AS MUCH CONTROL AS YOU-'! LOOK, WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU ALMOST GOT MY FRIEND KILLED AND THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY?!" Kurogane shouted.

"But, Kuro, they said sorry. And Syaoran said he wasn't hurt. Let's not try to upset the person- or thing- that's going to be controlling our lives for a while, okay?" Fai said, trying to calm him down.

Thank you, Fai, for being so understanding.

Kurogane growled, "Fine! BUT IF YOU'RE SO POWERFUL, THEN WHY DO YOU NEED TO COMMUNICATE THROUGH THAT STUPID PIECE OF PAPER!"

Good question.

Give me a moment and I'll take on my true form.

"GOOD! THAT'LL GIVE ME SOMEONE TO HIT!!!"

After a moment of nothing, a girl with auburn hair and chocolate eyes stood on a flight of stairs next to the travelers. "That's better!" she… well- I guess- I said. They stared at her- me (ugh, this is going to take some getting used to) like a deer in headlights.

"Hey! She's kinda cute!" Mokona squealed.

"Why, thank you, Moko-chan!"

"Hee-hee! She even calls me Moko-chan!"

"And she's young, too." Syaoran stated. "How old are you?"

"I'm only in high school. Probably a few years younger than you, though."

Fai laughed. "And Kuro was going to hit such a cute little girl!"

Kurogane flinched as if someone had threatened to hit him with a base ball bat. "I wasn't- I mean, I didn't- HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW SHE WAS A GIRL! Besides, she deserves it after what she's put us though!"

"But Kuro-pan hits hard!" he whined.

"Yeah! And I said I was sorry! Besides, the worst has yet to come! Mokona, take us away!"

"YES MA'AM!" And with that, the five of us were whisked away in a beam of light into the next chapter of my torment!
