Chapter 7: A Spirits Ordeal
Hikaru laid on the ground in her own puddle of blood. Her hair was soaked, her
armor destroyed, her clothes ripped, and her body all cut and bruised. She stared at Tara
with sadness in her eyes. Tara was floating in midair ready to kill Hikaru by stabbing
herself right in her heart. "I... lost... its my fault... everyone will die" Hikaru repeated
over and over. Tara smiled as Hikaru repeated it over and over again. Tara floated down
toward Hikaru. She touched her forehead, her cheeks, and then her wrist. "Your cold
Hikaru... your going to die... slowly" said Tara. "I love watching you suffer".
Hikaru closed her eyes. A few more tears went down her cheek. She didn't move
at all. Then suddenly she stopped breathing. Her heart stopped. Tara felt Hikaru's pulse
again and gasped. "Oh no its not fair" said Tara. "Oh well she's dead not a problem".
Tara kicked Hikaru's body and then sat down fanning herself. "I'm tired" said Tara to
herself.
In the castle Lantis felt a pain in his chest. He fell to the ground and began to cry.
Eagle and Presea helped him up. "Lantis..." said Eagle softly. More and more tears fell
onto the floor. "What is it?" asked Presea. Lantis stared at the ground. He didn't answer
Presea's question all he did was remember the dream he had. "I couldn't protect her" he
whispered. "Huh?" said Presea and Eagle. "Hikaru... she's gone" said Lantis. Presea and
Eagle let out a gasp. Lantis got up and walked out of the room. He cried not able to stop.
His heart ached for his love.
Outside in battle Aoi was watching the other to knights suffer. "You have like
two hours to live" said Aoi. "I enjoy watching you two suffer". Aoi laughed and kicked
Umi and Fuu. The two groaned in pain. Fuu and Umi suddenly felt a pain in there hearts.
"HIKARU" they both shouted at the same time. Aoi grinned and floated around in her
god machine. She new her sisters job was done.
Back in the castle Eagle Lantis and Presea were back in the throne room wit the
others. Everyone was sad and worried. Hikaru was dead and know the other knights were
suffering. Clef was being held up by Lafarga and Ferio. He tried to hide his pain but it
was no use. Ascot was holding Caldina who was bursting out in his arms. Mokona stood
in the corner he looked around and his jewel on his head turned yello and shot out a
yellow glow. Then he jewel went back to red and he walked back to the others.
* Another Dimension *
In a dark world Hikaru floated around with her knees tucked under her chin. She
had no clothes on but had a pair of white wings. She floated there crying her eyes out.
Hikaru felt cold and alone. She couldn't feel the any pain within her. "Hikaru" said a
familiar voice. Hikaru looked around and saw no one. "Hikaru" said the same voice again.
Hikaru looked around. Suddenly there was a gust of wind. Hikaru's braid untied as she
covered her eyes from the strong wind. "HIKARU" shouted the same voice once more.
Hikaru saw a huge wolf with a horn on its head consumed in fire. "Rayearth" said
Hikaru softly. She went to go touch him but the flames burned her. Hikaru pulled her
hand away. "Hikaru why have you given up?" asked Rayearth. Hikaru looked up at him
and then began to cry. "Rayearth I was weak... I couldn't fight... I'm no use to anyone...
I'm dead" she cried out. "Hikaru once long ago you made a promise a promise that you
said you'd never break" said Rayearth. "Remember that promise Hikaru... then call me
name and call my name".
Hikaru wiped her tears away. A gentle breeze blew Hikaru's hair behind her.
Hikaru closed her eyes and pressed her hands against her chest. "I can't forget" she
whispered. "The promise I made to you Rayearth, to my friends, to my heart". Suddenly
Rayearth disappeared and Hikaru began to glow red.
* In the Mirror *
Tara stood up and looked at Hikaru. "Well since I'm done I guess I'll go get my
reward" she said looking at Hikaru's body. Tara brushed her white hair out of her eyes
and turned to walk away. Suddenly a bright light began to glow over Hikaru's body. Tara
spun around and let out a gasp. "WHAT THE HELL" she shouted. Suddenly Hikaru's
body was lifted in the air and the naked angle Hikaru came down from the sky. The two
merged together. Hikaru's body wounds were healed and her armor was restored. She
held her hands in the air and her sword appeared.
"NO IT CAN'T BE" said Tara. Tara pulled out her fan and boomerang and tossed
them at Hikaru. The weapons didn't even hit her. The disintegrated and Hikaru was fine.
"How can this be" said Tara. Hikaru opened her eyes and glared at Tara. "I can't forget
the promise i made to everyone and myself... I SHALL PROTECT THEM" she shouted.
Tara ran at Hikaru read to kill her again but Hikary threw her sword at Tara stabbing her
in the stomach. Tara screamed in pain and fell to her knees. Hikaru then summoned her
magic. "FLAME ARROW" she screamed out. Tara covered her eyes with her arms. The
arrow consumed Tara. "I failed..." was the last thing she said before she died.
Hikaru ran up and grabbed her sword. She smiled but then frowned. She
destoryed the mirror and there was no way out. "Hikaru" said Rayearth. "Rayearth"
replied Hikaru. Then she closed her eyes and heard him talk to her. "Hikaru call my
name and allow me to help you" he said. Hikaru nodded and opend her eyes.
"RAYEARTH" she screamed out changing into her new armor.
Aoi watched the two knights suffer. "Well since Tara is done I don't want her to
get all the award so I'll kill them know" she said pulling out her sword. Tara flew over to
Umi and Fuu's god machine. She lifted her sword up and was ready to strike when a red
glow came form the castle. "What's that?" said Tara. Umi and Fuu looked up and smiled.
Both of them shouted at the same time, "HIKARU".
From inside the castle the eight people and Mokona watched the bright red glow.
They shaded there eyes but just enough to see what was going on. Suddenly there in the
middle of the red light was... "HIKARU" everyone shouted out. Hikaru was lifted into
the air and was know in Rayearth.
Outside Aoi backed away from the two Magic Knights. The red light healed Umi
and Fuu. Rayearth flew over to them. "Umi, Fuu are you okay?" asked Hikaru. The two
got up and nodded. Aoi backed away from the three knights. Hikaru glared at Aoi.
"Alright Aoi this fight is between you and me" said Hikaru, "and you'll be sorry from
messing with my friends". Aoi gowled and said, "And I'll kill you for killing my sister and
just telling you I'm ten times stronge then my sister".
Hikaru laid on the ground in her own puddle of blood. Her hair was soaked, her
armor destroyed, her clothes ripped, and her body all cut and bruised. She stared at Tara
with sadness in her eyes. Tara was floating in midair ready to kill Hikaru by stabbing
