Disclaimer: You know what goes here. Self-explanitory, people!!
AN: ..Wow! I never really expected so much support! The reason I was gone for so long is because the male alpha in my clan took over the electronic 'CPU' device I'm using right now. Working on music, I heard....A big, huge domo arigato for all the readers and reviewers out there...an author couldn't ask for better readers....;__; Gomen nasai, I'm getting all emotional now....Well, read on and ja ne!
PS-There's some really great Flint art, and not to mention some of my stuff in the guest art section at Maria's Art Page. She's a wonderful and very talented gal, check out her site at http://animeart.50g.com/. Many other anime works of art lurk there as well....check it out! Pretty soon, I guess I should post up some Were-Sara art, not to mention what all the Tarot Time Shifters look like. Sayonara!
The Tarot Time Shifters - Cups - part 2
The familiar ripple in the fabric of time materialized in the dark, night sky. The Time Cycle, with Flint, Rocky, Tony, Sara, Get-A-Long and Pterri slipped through the portal, almost immediatly followed by Merlock and Bindi. Of course, Bindi was in an extremely bad mood, with having to be around Sara, and all. Merlock stepped off of his time travel machine, his face weary, and his gloved hands covering his ears. The horribly familiar ' Oh Merlie, I'm so much better than her' and 'You should break up with that girl! She's nothing but trouble!' rang through the air. Tony sighed in exhasperation. " Oye...how long is this gonna go on?" He mused. Flint, of course, was either oblivious, or just decided not to care. He faced the crew.
" Okay guys, c'mon! Dr. Goodman said that the first Time Shifter we had to look for was Cups. She should be around here somewhere..." As if on cue, the bushes behind them began to rustle. Suddenly, a dark-robed person lept gracefully into the air. After a few twirls, the mysterious person stopped, and bowed.
" Greetings, strangers. May I ask what business you have here?" Flint stepped forward.
" Konnichiwa! My name is Flint, and these are my friends - Rocky,Tony, Sara, Pterri, Get-A-Long...*breath* Merlock and Bindi! Who are you?" The young girl smiled.
" My name is Gwendalyn. You may call me Gwen." She bowed deeply again. " If you wish to speak with the mother, than follow me and I will take you to her. " Confused glances were exchanged between the party members. Tony shrugged and began to trail after the odd young girl, a 'what have we got to lose' expression evident on his face. Sara sighed and followed her brother, the rest of the Time Detectives following shortly after.
The walk to the 'mothers' house was beautiful, almost like in a dream. Large trees reached up to the dark sky, screaming out for the light that was so nourishing to them. Large bushes of flowers, never recorded in any botany study littered the forset floor like a carefully-woven carpet. Small whisps of light kept flickering by. Sara could've sworn they were faeries, but faerie folk aren't real.... " Well, here we are. The mothers house. Please, make yourself comfortable, and feel free to ask the great mother anything you like...." The young, black-robed dancing girl fluttered off into the endless darkness of the forest. Bindi blinked.
" Well, that was certainly new. I wonder what she's been smoking?"
" Bindi! Mind your manners!" Merlock hissed. Flint slowly reached for the doorknob.
" I guess we can go in, right guys?" Before he could even get a reply, the age worn wooden door slowly creaked open. " I'll take that as a yes...." A small voice echoed throughout the house.
" Please, don't be afraid. Come in, children." The tiny house, or, more like a shack, seemed to emit a very relaxing aura. ' I feel like I'm at Inge's....' thought Sara. Not a single source of light was in the tiny house. The only way they could tell someone was in there was the ominous, yet strangely comforting voice that emitted from the back of the single room. " Do you know why you are here?" the voice questioned. A small group of 'uh', 'um' and ' I dunno' could be heard throughout the wary Time Detectives. The voice sighed loudly. " Because," it began. " All of you have been blessed with the powers to carry out a special mission that could decide the fate of the entire future and history as we know it. Every one of you is a key player; no one is less important." The squeaky flapping of Pterri's wings could be heard.
" Pardon my rudeness, ma'am, but....what's this mission you speak of?"
" Many powerful time shifters, namely the Tarot Time Shifters, are lost, and in desperate need of a sense of belonging. They have been fighting for eons, mostly Pentacles, Wands, Swords and Cups. They're fighting has just melted down to petty arguments, but I know that you can set things right. " The voice took a breath, creating an anticipating silence in the room. " You must gather as many of these time shifters as possibe. Some are so filled with anger and hatred that they will willingly join the side of Petra Fina and the Dark Lord. You must prevent that from happening at all costs!" Everyone was visibly taken aback by the voices' sudden outburst. " Gomen nasai...." it whispered. " It's just that we--uh-I have witnessed the fighting for too long, and I know that you can put a stop to it. Do you accept?" Flint faced his friends.
" Well, are we all in?" Tony smiled and stuck his hand in the center of the group.
" You bet. " Everyone followed, although there were a few hesitations - namely, Bindi.
" Nope!"
" Come on, Bindi! Please?"
" Uh uh!"
" But, you're a time shifter too! Surely you can relate! ....Right?" Bindi glared at the desperate vampire behind her. Merlock was a wonderful guy, and even though he was with Sara, Bindi knew that deep down, he did love her....but, in a family sort of way. She sighed in defeat.
" Well.......ok. Anything for you, Merlie-chan...." Hey, she could still try, right? Happiness seemed to radiate from the mystery speaker. 'It' was obviously smiling.
" Excellent. Cups, the closest one, is in a village just down the hill. You'll be able to tell she's been there. She has the power of emotion, so be on gaurd. She can make you reveal every little secret you hold dear to yourselves. Good luck, Genshi-tachi...." In a large swirl of smoke, the speaker vanished, or so they assumed.
" Well, down to the village we go! Hooray!!" Flint shouted. Flint and his friends [Genshi-tachi] left the small shack and made their way down to where, hopefully, they would make their first Tarot Time Shifter capture.
Not far away, a large pair of bright yellow eyes watched Flint and his friends, totally unaware that the hunt has just begun.
