Chapter 5: It gets Worse Before it gets Better
Lantis stared in the mirror. He couldn't believe it. Hikaru with Eagle and Eagle
was dead. Lantis pressed against the mirror but it was no use. Suddenly the fog in the
mirror was thicker and Lantis couldn't see Hikaru anymore. "Hikaru..." said Lantis softly.
Lantis ht his fist against the mirror. He shut his eyes and fell to his knees. More tears
streamed down his cheeks. Just then there was a light laughter coming from the room.
Lantis spun around and saw a girl with white hair and blue eyes. "TARA" shouted Eagle
pulling out his sword.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Lantis" said Tara in a mocking voice. Lantis growled
at Tara. "Hey where is your girlfriend?" asked Tara looking around. "Oh wait I know she
ran away with a friend of yours". Lantis glared at Tara and ran at her ready to strike her
down. Tara pulled out a fan and hit Lantis across the face. Lantis touched his cheek and
then glared at Tara. "Stop trying to get revenge because your such a wimp" said Tara
closing her fan and putting it away. Tara walk over to the mirror and touched it with her
nail. "You know Eagle was attacked in there" said Tara tapping her fingers against the
mirror. "What do you mean?" asked Lantis gruffly. Tara smiled and turned around.
"You see Lantis Eagle didn't die my master saved him" began Tara. "He was kept
in a sleep until my master was ready. He then placed Eagle in a world inside the mirror
and thinking Eagle was given another chance to be with Hikaru". Lantis clutched his
sword and ran toward Tara. Tara laughed and jumped into the mirror. Lantis skidded to a
stop and looked at her. "You see I attacked Eagle so Hikaru would pity him and go with
him to that world" said Tara. "Know both of them will die". Lantis let out a gasp and
shouted, "NO!".
Outside in the battle Fuu kept her shield up to protect her and Umi form Aoi. Aoi
slammed her sword against the mirror. Every time she slammed the sword down Fuu
screamed in pain. "Fuu" said Umi weakly. Aoi glared at the two weak Magic Knights.
Then she summoned her black energy ball and heaved it at the castle. "Oh no" shouted
Fuu.
Inside the castle Clef screamed out in pain and collapsed. "Master Mage" yelled
Ferio helping him back up. Everyone crowded around him. "Master Mage Clef are you
okay?" asked Lafarga. Clef looked up. His body was sweaty and his face was pale. "I
cannot hold on much longer" said Clef weakly. Everyone looked sadly at Clef then
looked out at the battle. "Is there anyway we can help?" asked Presea. Clef nodded in
disagreement. Then he clutched his chest and screamed again.
"We need Hikaru to help them" said Ascot. "Hikaru is gone I can no longer sense
her presence" said Clef weakly. Everyone let out a gasp and looked at each other.
"Where is she?" asked Caldina. Mokona bounced his way forward and stood in front of
Clef. "What are they doing?" asked Ascot. "Mokona can use his power to talk to Master
Mage Clef" said Presea. Mokona stood in front of Clef. Clef looked weakly at him and
Clef shut his eyes. "Hikaru is in an alternate world... in her mirror" said Clef breathing
hard. Everyone stood with there eyes widened.
"Miss Umi I have to use my magic to heal you" said Fuu looking down at her
friend. Umi looked up at her friend and said sadly, "No". Fuu looked sadly at her friend.
"If you do we are going to be done for... she is to... strong and will break it if you try to
heal me" said Umi. "But then you'll be able to fight" said Fuu. Umi looked at Fuu and
then looked down. "Go ahead Fuu KNOW" shouted Umi. "WINDS OF HEALING"
shouted Fuu. As Fuu began to heal Umi Aoi broke threw the barrier and hit Fuu.
Umi got up and shouted, "SAPPHIRE WHIRLWIND". The attack hit Aoi but Aoi
only laughed and hit Fuu again and again. Umi growled and flew at Aoi ready to attack
her. Aoi blocked the attack and hit Umi. As Umi was ready to strike Aoi but she moved
out of the way and by accident she hit Fuu. "NO" screamed Umi. Fuu laid there hurt
badly. Aoi laughed with delight and attacked Umi.
Back in Hikaru's room Lantis stared in the mirror. Tara was inside and there was
no way Lantis could get inside. Lantis began to cry again. He slammed his fist against the
mirror. Then he heard the laughter form in the mirror. Lantis pressed his hand against the
mirror. He pushed as hard as he could but it didn't work. Then he pushed hard her and
harder. Lantis growled and pushed more and more. Suddenly his hand was beginning to
get threw the mirror. It was getting threw but vary slowly. It took him about five minutes
to get his entire hand threw.
"I have to get threw" he whispered. Then he pressed his other hand threw. Then
his other hand threw. Then his foot and his other foot. Then finally after a hard struggle
he fell threw the other side. Lantis smiled and got up. He took a look around and walked
around. When he looked around he saw Hikaru laying down on a cloud or something like
that.
He ran over to her but before he reached her someone kicked him away. Lantis
fell back and looked up. He saw Eagle standing in front of him. "Eagle" said Lantis.
"Lantis" said Eagle. Eagle smiled when he saw his old friend. Lantis glared at him and
shouted, "WHY HAVE YOU STOLEN HIKARU FROM ME". Eagle gasped and looked
shocked at Lantis. "Hikaru came her on her own free will" said Eagle softy. Lantis
looked at Hikaru and then back at Eagle. "Anyway its not time to fight Hikaru is in
trouble" explained Eagle. "Huh?' said Lantis getting up. The two walked over to Hikaru.
"When she collapsed I laid her here to rest" explained Eagle. "Then I saw a girl
with white hair come... she attacked me before... anyway she entered Hikaru's body:.
Lantis let out a small gasp and touched Hikaru. "I can't lose her" whispered Lantis taking
Hikaru's hand.
* Hikaru's Mind *
Hikaru walked around not knowing where she is. It was a dark and gloomy place.
"Where am I?" said Hikaru to herself. Hikaru walked around some more. Then she heard
a giggle which turned into a roaring laughter. Hikaru looked around and spotted a figure
in the shadows. "Who's there" said Hikaru summoning her sword. Tara came out of the
shadows and laughed. "Well Magic Knight you survived are last encounter, my name is
Tara" she said pulling out her fan. "Where am I, tell me" demanded Hikaru.
Tara smiled and looked into Hikaru's fiery eyes. "We're inside your mind
Hikaru" said Tara. Hikaru let out a gasp and said, "But Eagle". "Eagle and your
boyfriend Lantis are in the mirror" said Tara. "Oh well they'll die to just like the other
Magic Knights are". Hikaru let out a gasp and her eyes widened. Then she ran at Tara.
Tara jumped out of the way. "FLAME ARROW" shouted Hikaru. Tara tried to get away
but the attack hit her leg. "You want to know a secrete pyro" said Tara. Hikaru didn't say
anything she just kept he eyes on Tara. "Even if you defeat me in your mind there will be
no way all three of you will escape the mirror... only two of you can go one must stay
here with me" laughed Tara. Hikaru's eyes widened and screamed.
Tara laughed insanely and threw her fan hitting Hikaru. Hikaru fell back to the
ground. Tara's fan came back like a boomerang and she caught it. Hikaru slowly got up
but Tara sent a black energy at Hikaru. She fell to the ground in pain. "You see little
Magic Knight in my realm I always win" laughed Tara, "and after I kill your boyfriend
and the blond will die a slow painful death". Hikaru gasped and slowly got up. Tara
threw her fan again at Hikaru. Hikaru caught the fan and snapped it in half. "YOU
BROKE MY FAN" she shouted. A red glow surrounded Hikaru. "I won't let you hurt my
friends" said Hikaru sternly. Tara gasped and backed away. "FLAME ARROW" shouted
Hikaru. Tara screamed in pain and vanished from Hikaru's mind. Lantis and Eagle
watched in amazement as Tara's spirit came out of Hikaru.
"Damn it..." she said to the boys. "I'll kill her sooner or later". Eagle and Lantis's
eyes widened. The two watched as Tara disappeared. Hikaru's eyes fluttered open. She
smiled at Eagle and Lantis. Lantis helped Hikaru up. "Tara is still here" said Hikaru, "and
she will try to atop us from getting to the mirror". Hikaru thought about what Tara told
her. She looked down sadly and then the three walked down. Suddenly in front of them
stood Tara. She had an evil grin on her face. "READY TO DIE?" she asked.
Will Hikaru and the others live or die? If they do will Hikaru have to choose between Eagle
and Lantis? Find out in Chapter 6: The Hardest Choice.
