Eternal Memories
Chapter One:
Destiny Burns Brightly
Disclaimer- I do not own Card Captor Sakura or Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
Sixteen year-old Alyxx Heart stood at the gateway of Castle Klowe. Though a Mage for the Mages Guild, She knows her destiny is much more, than others could possibly see. She was summoned by Lumina of the Klowe or "gods", in translation. She breathed and walked into the cavernous main room, her steps echoing against the stone floors. There in front of a throne stood a glowing, beautiful woman, dressed in cascading gold and silver robes. Alyxx bowed toward the goddess, of light, though she herself was a child of the fire.
"No need to bow, young child of fire. A battle looms in the future, a dismal repast of what happened years ago. The seven shadows that once destroyed Laputa are soon going to be revived. Alyxx, you are the one who we have chosen to lead those who will fight." Lumina spoke, waving her arm to motion Alyxx to stand.
"Tell me goddess, why have you chosen me?" Alyxx questioned, looking toward the goddess, her violet eyes searching for an answer.
"You have Laputarian blood, your ancestors fought alongside the gods in battle before, your ancestors have even ruled over Laputa. Your blood is pure, and your magic is powerful. Kaina has trust in you, and so do I. Alyxx, your destiny begins now." Lumina said, her golden eyes never leaving the young mage before her. Her stern look softened. "Now you must the girl who controls the magic of the alchemist called Clow." She said, vaporizing into nothing, as Alyxx stood alone in the altar, the empty throne before her.
"I shall not fail you" Alyxx said just under her breath, leaving the palace. A Staff made of braided gold and silver, the gem atop was a deep red, enclosed within a golden net. "Exxellior, transport set" She commanded.
"Teleportation." Exxellior's automated voice rang out. A violet circle opened underneath her, and a bubble rose up, enclosing her.
Minutes later she re-appeared, stepping away from the circle, while fixing the blue denim ribbon tied into her long, dark brunette hair, it faded. Out of the shadows stepped another mage. He was the same height as Alyxx. Blonde hair hung in his face, a cloak of brown material hid the rest of his body. Green eyes caught her violet.
"Yuuno, how long have you been waiting?" Alyxx questioned, looking toward him.
"Not very long, Tsukasa said this where you'd be." Yuuno said, giving a half-smile
"You don't normally wait around for a leader, unless something's up, so what's up?" Alyxx asked, giving her 'you can't hide anything from me' look.
"A criminal from Articana has come into your area of jurisdiction. Enforcer Crono wasn't able to capture this one before he escaped." Yuuno explained, watching Alyxx start to think on this one.
"So Crono met his match so to speak?" Alyxx asked, receiving a nod from Yuuno. "We'll have to wait for him to act in this world, luckily there's a base set up nearby" Alyxx said, gripping Exxellior
"Hey Alyxx, where are we exactly?" Yuuno asked, sending a confused look towards her.
"Readington, we have a base set up here because of a pattern of anomalies that happened four years ago." Alyxx explained, "And we happen to be on the roof of the base" She pointed out. Exxellior began blinking rapidly.
"Anomaly detected" its voice rang out just as snow began to fall. Alyxx and Yuuno looked at each other and nodded.
"Exxellior is right, it's May, and snow shouldn't be falling now. Its must be the Articanian criminals doing!" Yuuno realized, looking at Alyxx.
"Damn right it is. He's trying to throw us off his trail. He knows we'll try a thermal reader, the snow will interfere" Alyxx crossed her arms over her chest, scowling.
"What about the VR visor? Didn't Tsukasa finish the repairs and upgrades" Yuuno suggested, giving a shrug.
"Whatever we try, first I'll need to set up" Alyxx said gripping Exxellior.
"Stand-by ready" Exxellior again rang out, a violet circle opening up under Alyxx.
"Exxellior Set Up!" Alyxx said as the circle flashed. Her clothes evaporated from her body, and were replaced by a leotard in black. Over top materialized a black material ending just above her knees as a skirt, dual pieced, a white piece filled the gap. Black boots ending just below her knees flashed, as did black gloves. A Purple choker materialized, and a belt crossed in an "X" clasped together by a golden diamond. Golden trim set itself against the black of her gloves and boots, golden diamonds lit up on the face of her boots. Armlets tied at her elbows, golden Diamonds against a purple surface, purple slunk itself from under the golden top edge of her boots, purple and golden lines tied themselves down just under her bust. Her eyes opened and the pupils vanished leaving behind only the violet coloration. The Blue ribbon she previously wore tied itself back into her hair. Finally she grasped hold of Exxellior and a purple cape, white on the inner part materialized, billowing in the wind that had picked up.
"Alyxx, why don't we at least try the VR visor?" Yuuno questioned.
"Activate VRvisor" Alyxx commanded Exxellior.
"Yes sir" Unlike other tools Exxellior had a bit of emotion, respect tinting its metallic voice. A visor of blue glass materialized onto her face. Through her eyes she saw data and numbers.
"Run Diagnostics, Thermal reader and magic scan." Alyxx commanded, as the data being showed changed. "According to the diagnostic shown, our villain is within a 1/16 mile radius of here." Alyxx said deactivating the visor.
"That doesn't help us much." Yuuno said sounding discouraged. "Wait a minute!" he shouted, perking up. "You said that there was a pattern of magical anomalies that occurred in this area!" He said poking a finger into her chest.
"Yeah. But how in the great hell does that help us?" Alyxx said, shrugging, being annoyed.
"Where did the majority of those disturbances occur?" Yuuno asked, giving an anticipated look.
"Someplace called Penguin Park" Alyxx said, giving a shrug. "Gods what an awful name" She scoffed, looking at Yuuno who was giving the 'Can you not put two and two together' look. She gasped, and pointed toward Yuuno.
"We look should at Penguin Park!" they both shouted toward each other. The two of them took off towards the park, Yuuno Flying using his ability as a mage, Alyxx ran as she preferred not to use her flying ability, seeing as she could run faster than she could fly. Arriving at the park they both hid in the trees, spying their target, the man standing there, dressed in white and blue furs. A storm swirled around him as he played a small harp.
"Alyxx, what's your plan?" Yuuno asked, keeping his voice low, as to not 'rouse suspicion.
"First you surprise and bind him, and then I'll jump out give my spiel and burn his ass, doing enough damage just to wear him out, so that we can take him in. Then we can reap our rewards" She said with a wink and playful tone.
Yuuno sweat-dropped, with and audible "wahh", springing back up he grunted at her and then went on with, "How you got to be the leader of a sanction of mages is beyond even me!" He yelled, partially still keeping his voice low.
"Just stick to the plan" She said shrugging off the comment. Yuuno gave an exasperated sigh, and jumped off. A green circle opened under his feet, and chains made from the same energy shot out, enclosing around the criminal. Alyxx walked out, a small smirk of confidence glued to her face.
"Who the hell are you?" The criminal shouted, gaining Alyxx's laugh.
"Your arresting officer" She continued to laugh. "I am Alyxx Heart, leader of mages guild arc 1 sanction 13" She said announcing her name and title. "Criminal serial number 124787576, home area Articana, crimes included; murder, thievery, and rape. Enjoy your last moments of freedom, you filthy piece of shit" Alyxx added, venom in her voice increasing with each word, her last word, literally spit-out. "Exxellior engage shooter form"
"Shooter Mode set" Exxellior's voice rang out. Machine sounded as Exxellior, the staff changed into what looked like a rifle attached to a long pole, 'wings' opened on the sides of Exxellior, enfolding around the barrel. "Stand-by ready" it voiced, shooting off a stream of steam.
"Now you can either comply, or I'm gonna roast your ass" Alyxx said, pointing the barrel toward the criminal.
"Not likely" he spat and tried to break free of the restraints Yuuno cast.
"Cosmic Flare!" Alyxx shouted. A fireball began growing at the barrel of Exxellior.
"Watery Card summon a wave to put out the flame. Release and Dispel!" A voice called from nowhere, moments later, a wave drenching Alyxx who seethed with rage.
"Dammit! A comrade!" She barked, frantically looking around, holding a massive glare.
"Sword card, cut through the restraints. Release and Dispel" The voice called again, as a shadow moved to cut through the chains Yuuno had cast, Alyxx catching it.
'Heh' the criminal laughed as he got up, and from his outstretched palm, a snowstorm blew, burying Alyxx and Yuuno.
"Rage Blitz!" Alyxx's muffled voice came through the snow, "Fire!" The shout came though clear as flames shot through the wall of snow and ice. "Yuuno use Terra-Bind this time" Alyxx commanded, pointing the barrel of Exxellior toward the criminal again. "Exxellior Burst Form" Alyxx commanded.
"Explosion!" Exxellior sounded excited, well as excited as a computer can sound, shifting from yet again. The wings disappeared and in their place, four golden prongs rose around the barrel, extending the length of the staff yet again, the barrel widened to fit the inside of the prongs. A trigger appeared on the body of the staff, just below Alyxx's current grip. "Stand-by ready" Exxellior rang signaling the end of it's transformation.
"Flare Burst Cannon, power shot" Alyxx said enraged, fire burning in her eyes.
"Terra-Bind" Yuuno called, the green magic circle opening again, this time, however, links of rock shot out, binding the foe as though they were snakes.
Alyxx felt the same energy appear again, she looked over into the trees, her eyes now glowing with an intense blue light. She held her hand up and took in a breath. "Paralyze" She said softly, twitching her hand so that it resembled a paw. "Transport" another soft word. Seconds later appeared a girl, looking to be only a year or two younger than Alyxx and Yuuno. She wore a school uniform, and held with her a pink staff, decorated on top with a star and wings. "The man before you girl is a known criminal and by aiding and abetting him, you will be charged with interference in a guild case. Now your name girl?" Alyxx spoke as though she were a drill sergeant, the girl only arrogantly looked away. "Give me your god dammed name!" Alyxx shouted, scaring the girl badly.
"Sakura. Sakura Avalon." The girl said stating her name.
"Alyxx. We'll take it from here" came the all-to-familiar voice, Enforcer Crono Haralown, stepped out of the shadow. "Thank-you, without you and the ferret wanabe's work, this criminal would still be out and about. As for the gir," He said, taking the prisoner, placing a restrictor cuff around his torso, so that he wouldn't be able to cast magic or run.
"Oh Great…" Alyxx said dryly, wishing for this day to end, though in truth it was only just beginning, she diminished the growing fireball of her attack she had yet to fire.
So I guess since you're here you noticed my post. Yes it is true I am deleting all my previous work and restarting with better work. I got complaints and major flames, so here I am making lemonade from lemons, and roasting a few of the flamers who are too damn lazy to hit the review, remember, we as writer's need you goddammed reviews to make things good! And any flames received will be used to roast marshmallows =^^=
Anyways, next time
Alyxx, Yuuno, and Sakura bear witness to the Goddess' legend and command.
