Author's Notes: I actually have a storyline in my head for this!! Enjoy my latest installment!!
Disclaimers: Cardcaptors belong to CLAMP, I own my interpretation of the Dreamscape (original idea belonged to Rush, another fanfic author out there on the net) and Strider and Shadow.
Preservers of the Dreamscape - The Four Mirrors
Every once in a while, a mishap occurs in a parallel world and the love and innocence of that world would slowly diminish. It is up to the Preservers of the Dreamscape to preserve the love and innocence to some degree. This is the tale of one particular Preserver and an emerald-eyed girl.
Crothus leaned back in his chair. "Finally!! Break time!!" He stopped by where Strider was watching the events unfold. "Something on your mind?" Strider gave Crothus a death glare. Crothus straightened up. "Oh, that. I still don't see why you had to create a Li Syaoran in the first place."
The entity sighed as he continued to observe the Four Mirrors. "Look at the Four Mirrors. The first illustrates the original timeline and the events that have already occured. The second shows the most likely future of that world if events would go as schelduled." Crothus shuddered. "From a cherry blossom to a servant of darkness..."
Strider pointed to the third mirror. "The third mirror shows the changes that have been made and the fourth mirror shows the most likely future after the change." Crothus sighed with relief. "At least that world is protected. What about the world that has already experienced those events and created...her?"
"That world cannot be helped. Shadow would recognize this and destroy it to save whatever purity is left." Crothus blinked. "Won't that destroy the sorceress as well? Surely she would at least protect her world because..."
"The problem is that she already knows how to travel between dimensions and timelines. If Li fails his mission, then we will have twice the amount of trouble. Ayame is deadly enough as she is. We don't need another." Crothus sighed. "Who would have known that the trigger would be a broken heart?"
Strider nodded gravely. "Human emotions are fragile and delicate. The effects of having no love at all could be devastating to the soul." The two silently observed the fourth mirror as the possible future started shaping itself due to Li's arrival.
"You told her?" Sakura gave a little sigh and nodded. 'How could she just tell someone about this? Not only does Madison videotape this, she even creates battle costumes!!!'
The Thunder card has been detected near the centre of the city. Using the Lasenboard, it was tracked to a precise area, just above some office buildings. Sakura was wearing the cat costume while Li simply wore his ceremonial outfit. (I'm too lazy to create an outfit unlike Madison. Who knows what she could pull out if given the chance?)
Li muttered about violating protocols before he joined Sakura on the top of one of the buildings. "I will force Thunder to go into its visible form. You use the Shadow card to trap and seal it. Understood?" The girl nodded meekly while Li took out his sword. "Powers of the elements, heed my call!! Channel lightning through this sword!!" (I made up my own chant because Nelvana's chants are a bit corny and the fact that this guy is a Preserver) The Thunder card transformed into a beast.
"Shadow, release and dispel!!" The Shadow card surrounded the Thunder card, stopping all attempts to escape. "Thunder, return to your power confined!!" Soon, there were two cards lying on the ground, Shadow and Thunder.
She picked up the two cards in awe. "That was some plan, Li. Thanks for the help." Li didn't give a response. He was lost in his own thoughts. 'How is it you retain your humanity and purity under these extreme circumstances?'
He started to walk home but he turned to look at the Clow mistress once more. 'You are too pure to become someone as dark as Ayame...when the darkness strikes your heart, I will be there to bring you back to the light.'
Crothus gave a smile of relief as the fourth mirror gave an image of the most possible outcome after Li's arrival. The Defender's mood had considerably brightened but he still felt the presence of darkness.
'I know you will do your best to protect Sakura, Li. I hope you can stand by her when she faces Ayame.'
I had to think for a while for this one. Give me a review and welcome to the new millennium!! Officially, this time!! What a way to start the new millennium with a CCS fanfic!!
