A/N: Hey everyone. Here's the next chapter.

Enjoy!

"Fay-san, I've got it!" A brown haired teen sprinted out of the doors of the temple. Only a couple of seconds later, a horde of stone statues followed suit.

"Well done Syaoran-kun," The addressed blond praised in approval as he joined the boy near the bottom of the steps.

"Where are the others?" The boy named Syaoran asked his companion.

"Waiting near the gates," replied the blond. "Although I think, it would be better if you gave that to Mokona for now." He motioned towards the soft white feather with pink patterns on it, which Syaoran was clutching in one hand.

"Yeah, you're right." The teen agreed as he held out the feather to the small rabbit like creature which had popped out of the blond guy's jacket. The rabbit opened its mouth to several times its own size and sucked in the air, the feather flying out of the brown-eyed boy's hand and into its mouth.

As the pair neared the gates, they witnessed a strange sight. A dark-skinned man was fighting off dozens of those stone guardians while at the same time protecting a green eyed brown haired girl.

"Mokona, give me my sword." The boy ordered the strange rabbit like creature. Once again its mouth opened to double its own size and out popped a sword. Unsheathing the weapon, the boy rushed in to help the dark skinned man.

The blond on the other hand, turned around to face the guardians following them from inside the temple. Ducking under the spear aimed for his head, the man kicked out and stole the weapon from his attacker, twirling it around to block the incoming attacks from other stone creatures.

"Now would be a good time to get us out of here, Mokona." He spoke to the white rabbit.

"Mokona Modoki is ready to go!" the small furry creature announced as the red gemstone set in the middle of its forehead flashed in the light of the sun and white magical wings appeared from its back.

It jumped up into the air, high above the fighting group and opened its mouth yet again. A colorful mist began to envelop the four, dissolving their body to nothing as the rabbit swallowed it all. Finally it popped out of existence, leaving behind a group of very confused stone guardians.

But right before the group of four had vanished into the mouth of the bejeweled creature, one of the stone guardians had managed to stab the brown haired teen, in the leg, with its spear.

"Syaoran-kun!" with a loud gasp, the girl shot up in her bed. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead as she took in huge gulps of air, her chest heaving with the effort.

"Ah! She's up!" She heard an unfamiliar voice exclaim from somewhere to her right.

Green eyes widened slightly as their owner's gaze fell upon a man who seemed to be made entirely out of metal.

"I must tell Jimmy." The metal man spoke once more as he ran out the door.

"Main kahan hoon?" (Where am I?) The girl blinked in confusion as she took in her surroundings. She was in sort of room made entirely out of wood with a small circular window in one of the walls. The sky outside was dark, filled with thousands and thousands of stars. (A/N: the parts in italics are the translations in English)

Although for some reason, they kept swirling into beautiful patterns, seemingly zipping past the window. As though, the place was moving at very high speed.

"- her name was?" she tensed as soon as she heard another unfamiliar voice speak from just outside the door to this room.

"Err, no Jimmy, I didn't." it was the voice of the metal man that had answered. The door to the room opened and in stepped the metal man, followed by another man. The newcomer had a slightly tan skin and was dressed in a pair of loose fitting black trousers and a brown jacket. A light brown shirt was visible underneath.

"How are you feeling?" he asked her in a somewhat kind manner. The girl noticed that he had brown hair and bluish grey eyes. A golden earring hung from one of his ears, glinting lightly in the fluorescence of the bulb.

"Maaf kijye ga pr," The green eyed girl spoke in a soft voice. "Mjhay ap ki bat samajh nahi a rahi." (I'm sorry but I can't understand what you're saying.)

"Huh?" the grey eyed man exchanged a glance with the man made of metal. "What the hell did she just say?" the former asked the latter.

"I have no idea."

"Shayad Mokona hm say dur hai," she once again spoke in her weird language. "Isi lye mjhay ap ki bat smajh nai a rahi." (Maybe Mokona is too far away. So perhaps that is the reason why I can't understand you)

"Can you speak English?" he asked the girl.

"Mai ap ki zaban nai bol skti," the girl shook her head, her brown hair flying in every which direction at this action. (I can't speak your language)

"Great," The blue eyed man slapped a hand on his forehead. "My very first voyage and I get a stowaway who can't even speak."

"Well, technically Jimmy…" the metallic man started only to fall silent at one look from the twenty year old.

"Get Gene, will you BEN?" the young grey eyed man sighed quietly.

"Right away, Captain Jimmy, Sir."

"What's your name?" the man asked again.

"…" the girl remained silent.

"Sir?" a blue skinned, four armed creature stepped inside the room, startling the girl greatly.

"How many languages can you speak, Gene?" he inquired the minute he arrived.

"Fifteen." Answered the strange looking stocky creature as a look of surprise formed on his face.

"Check it out, if the girl can speak what you can or not?"

"What's your name, girl?"

"Mjay ap ki bat samajh nai a rahi." The girl shook her head once again with a sigh. (I can't understand you)

The creature's red eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the girl.

"Gene?"

"Jim, she's speaking in Clowese." The creature breathed.

"So you can understand what she said, then?"

"Most of it, yeah."

"Good," the bluish grey-eyed man nodded his head in approval. "Then ask her who is she and what is she doing here?"

"Ap ka nam kia hai?" the four armed creature addressed as Gene asked in a kind voice. (What is your name?)

"Sakura," the brown haired girl replied after blinking a couple of times. She could understand the strange creature but not the others. Did this mean he could speak her language?

"Her name is Sakura," he informed the other man.

"Sakura huh?" the man called Jim looked at her somewhat skeptically. "Weird name. Could she be from one of the colonies?"

"Maybe." Gene shrugged his right shoulder.

"Main kahan hoon?" she asked in a small voice. (Where am I?)

"Tm NAD Starsighter par ho," He blinked a couple of times before replying. (You are on the NAD Starsighter)

"NAD Starsighter?" she repeated in a confused voice. "Par may yehan kaisay pohanchi?" she mumbled to herself before her eyes widened as she realized something. She jumped to her feet, speaking in an urgent tone, "Mairay dost! Kia wo b yehan hain?" (NAD Starsighter? But how did I get here? My friends! Are they here as well?)

"Dost?" the creature seemed surprised at this revelation. "Ktinay dost thay tmharay sath?" (Friends? How many friends were with you?)

"Char," came her timid reply. (Four.)

"She says she had four other friends." He turned to Jim. "Should I conduct a search of the ship?"

"No. Get BEN to do that," a frown formed on the young captain's face. "You try to find out why she is here? Meanwhile, I'll go check on our cargo."

"Sure thing." He said as the grey eyed man turned and left.

"Wo kon tha?" the girl asked curiously. (Who was that?)

"Wo is jahaz k captan hain." He answered. (He is the captain of this ship)

"Oh. Mairay dost. Kia wo ap ko milay hain? Syaoran-kun, zakhmi ho gaya tha." She sounded very worried. (Oh. My friends. Have you found them? Syaoran-kun had gotten injured.)

"Nahi. Abi tk to aur koi nahi mila." He answered. "Hmaray jahaz k sb say kareeb tareen sitara takreeban aik maheenay ki doori par hai. Tm yehan kaisay pohanchi?" (No. so far nobody else has been found. The nearest planet is at a distance of about a month from here. How did you get here?)

"Mokona k zarye." She replied simply. (Through Mokona)

"Mokona?"

"Mokona mairi dost hai. Wo mairay safar may mairi madad kr rahi thi." She explained. (Mokona is my friend. She was helping me out on my journey.)

"Kaisa safar?" he questioned.

"Mairi yad dasht wapis lanay ka safar." She explained with a sad look in her eye. (The journey to retrieve my memories)

"What will we do with her?" BEN asked the young captain later that day, once Gene had reported what he had found from his interrogation of the girl.

The girl claimed to be travelling through various worlds in an attempt to retrieve her memories. Helping her along on this journey were a blond magician, a red-eyed ninja and a young archeologist as well as some sort of mutated talking rabbit.

While Jim might have been willing to consider the possibility of portals and wormholes, even believe in the existence of ancient Japanese ninjas, he was definitely not willing to believe in the possibility of magicians or dimension hopping mutant rabbits. Or having someone's memories scattered in the form of feathers, with the only way to retrieve them, being some weird inter dimensional journey, where the amnesiac person proceeded to absorb said feathers.

How ridiculous could an explanation get?

"Well," he sighed. "Her story sounds like a something out of a fairytale but there isn't much we can do about her presence at the moment. Our priority for now is to deliver the cargo to the research facility."

"Are we going to contain her in the cabin till the end of the voyage?" Gene raised his brow.

"Let her move about the deck and the galley," Jim replied with a shake of his head as he observed the map laid out on the table before him. "And inform the crew that they are not to harm her in any way whatsoever."

"Sure thing Jim."
