Fairy Baptism
Ms. Jewel gathered us in the ballroom once again to make an announcement.
She gathered us all in the room, and by her face, we knew to stay quiet and listen. Whatever she had to tell us, she had to tell it to us NOW. She closed her eyes, thinking if she was ready for whatever it was. And as far as I could see, she was glowing a blue light, and I suddenly knew she was recharging herself for whatever was ahead.
"Okay." Ms. Jewel spoke. It was a quiet, delicate, but important tone. "We have all gathered here, for one reason, one VERY important reason." She paused and took the time to look at each of us individually. "Every important." She looked as if she was shaking. I bet she was more nervous than I would be when I took the SAT, but I was scared too, not knowing what would happen to me. Ms. Jewel summoned Kelli up first. Kelli, shakily, walked up to Ms. Jewel.
"There is not much t say to you, child." Ms. Jewel began. "You have truly learned your purpose in life today, and that is not to catch and to use me, but to free all those Queen Jewel has captured and return them to a better place. You already have your magical powers, so this is all I grant you." She lifted the magical wand she had used earlier, and POOF, Kelli had on a darkish blue dress with gold lining. Rene stifled a gasp. I knew what she was thinking. I had seen that before; it was one of the dresses Rene had brought in one of the two big boxes. Ms. Jewel smiled.
"Yes, Rene, your assumption is correct." She said. She held out her hand, and Kelli backed away. Vash walked up in her place. "Vash, Vash." Ms. Jewel said. "You've experienced a lot for a little boy, and even though I can't grant you much, you will have a costume like Kelli's (and suddenly Vash had a red jacket and black pants on. He straightened his glasses and tried to appear intelligent. He would have sure fooled me, looking just like a mad scientist professor and all too serious for Vash.) and you will have more powers than you have had before." She touched the wand to the top of his head. "Don't use them just yet." Vash retreated, and Kanari walked up.
"Yet, the first of them all." Ms. Jewel said. "The first of the Jewel Bearers. Yuki, can you take pressure?" I didn't know what she meant, and looked around for help, but they all shrugged.
"I guess." I said, walking up to her. She touched the top of my head with the wand, and suddenly my vision was blocking out and I felt myself glowing radiant blue. So this is how it felt. Too bad we couldn't have better visualization. I shrugged, and felt Ms. Jewel controlling me. She made me face Kanari, and they put my hand on Kanari's forehead. Words came pouring out of my mouth, something that did not sound at all like English. Kanari was glowing too, and after a while, we both stopped and I could see ever so better again.
"You have powers." Ms. Jewel said. "But not weapons. We will deal with that later, in the other room. Kanari, your power is with you, since Yuki has named you, and you are now a true Jewel Bearer, and will help them in their journey to free the slaves. An Angel of Liberty has granted you powers, and I will supply the weapons later. Nakita?" For Kanari was already backing down and Nakita walking up. Ms. Jewel looked at her and smiled.
Nakita looked down, not meeting her gaze.
"You have nothing to be ashamed of, Nakita." Ms. Jewel said, brushing Nakita's hair out of her eyes and tilting her head to look at Ms. Jewel. "You too will be granted. Yuki?" I walked forward. Ms. Jewel smiled again. "We must be wearing you out." She did the same thing to Nakita as Kanari. The same process seemed to suck away my energy, but not power. Nakita looked at her hands after she was done, thanked Ms. Jewel, and backed up. Ms. Jewel looked around. She summoned Doughboy up.
"My little boy, you have many powers, and you will soon learn how to use them, but now is not the time." Ms. Jewel said. "If we have enough time, I will teach you."
"What do you mean if you have enough time?" Doughboy asked.
"Time is scarce." Ms. Jewel said. "In a matter of time, I will turn back to my jewel self and Yuki will hold me in the pouch for safekeeping if I am ever needed again. Well, actually, she will hold my jewel self in her pouch, but my real soul will be wandering, and moving all the time. I'd like you to know that when I disappear, a part of me will always be in you." Doughboy nodded, confusion etched on his face. "But first, I will need to get this done with, and explain where to go and supply the jewel bearers weapons. Doughboy, I grant you peace." A touch of wand on the head. Liz stepped up next to Doughboy as he retreated.
"Liz, there is nothing for me to grant you exactly, but the powers of quickness, smartness, and reflexes." Ms. Jewel said. "You do know that it was your quick thinking that saved us many lives of those of your comrades. So I grant you too." Ms. Jewel touched another forehead with the wand.
Snowy stepped up.
Ms. Jewel summoned Rene up too.
"Snowy, give Rene your earrings and broomstick brooch." Snowy, confused, reluctantly gave Rene her weapons. Ms. Jewel walked up to Rene. "Rene, I grant you these weapons and the powers of justice." Ms. Jewel tapped Rene on the forehead. "Do not think that you have no powers and are just in here to tape this and to supply costumes. No, you are a fighter too, and as much as you hate it, you WILL fight to keep the justice in balance." Ms. Jewel sighed. "Take them. And Snowy (Rene backed up) I grant you my wand." Snowy gasped. Ms. Jewel used the wand to summon up a heavy book lying on a nearby table, and said, "Confined." The book shrank to the size of a computer mouse. "Snowy, say Release when you want to read it and Confined when you don't. This wand is very useful, and the book is a spell book, so you know how to use the wand by applying spells.
"This wand was once a lovely white jewel, my mother, but when they fought over her, it fell on the marble floor and broke. Shattered, it immediately began to reconfigure itself and turned into this wand." Ms. Jewel fingered the side of the wand, which (except for the handle part where you were supposed to hold it when you used it) was very sharp and jagged, like unlined pebbles in a field, only not as soft or round and pebbles. "Take it and treat it well." Ms. Jewel handed it to her and turned to me.
"Last of all." I walked up.
"Yuki, I give you my blessings, may you take good care, and I grant you the powers to control over every card you captured. I also grant you a globe, which will tell you things that could happen in the future, which we will get shortly."
"Is it really a globe?" I asked.
"Not really." Ms. Jewel said. "It's one of those domes where you pick it up, turn it up-side-down, and it snows. But this one doesn't, and when you do, it wakes up and can talk to you. I believe it will be great help to you." She smiled. "Yes, and good luck. I know you will pass the test of a worthy cardcaptor, and be careful when using the element cards." I nodded, and stepped away.
Ms. Jewel summoned Nakita, Kanari, Snowy, Rene, and I to step forward. As we did, we all joined hands and began to glow.
"All of you will be granted wings." Ms. Jewel said softly. "You shall have to power whether you want to use them or not." Kanari started the formation first. Her bird-like wings started to sprout, and she looked like she had sprouted canary wings. She left the circle to fly around the ballroom. Nakita's wings were bright, and a soft, light blue color. They did not look very much like bird's wings. Sure, they had feathers, but were so soft that they did not look capable of holding her up, but as she flew, she seemed to make it up. Her winds were much lighter than Kanari's. It was also a tiny bit smaller; plus she didn't have as many feathers. Snowy and I both started to sprout angel wings. They were mainly white, but mine had a tint of violet and hers pink. They looked bigger and spread over a wider range than the jewel bearers. We flew high into the room, and we knew that we would be able to fly the longest and be lest tired. Rene's wings were small, and red, like the Firey Card's wings.
"Rene, you will use the broomstick more than your wings." Ms. Jewel said. "Because you will find that more useful."
So there we were, all five of us with wings, flying around the room.
Ms. Jewel said, "I believe you have wings, Kelli?" And Kelli sprouted her wings out of her back, her dark blue butterfly wings that seemed to bounce. Kero flew over to her, and compared his tiny wings to hers. I smiled and landed softly.
Ms. Jewel sighed, and it was a sad and refreshing sigh.
"Well, you are all done now." She said softly. "Come, Kanari, Nakita. We must pick the weapons." I held my globe quietly, and looked at the others. Liz was twirling her sword around, wondering if it was really faster and sharper. Snowy had sat down in a stone chair and began to flip through the book. Rene was flying around the room, both wings and broomstick at the same time, but not daring to try her Power Hoops or Golden Rings attacks.
"Avido!" Snowy held out her wand, and ribbons of many colors sprung out, and danced around. She laughed when the ribbons wrapped themselves around Rene and forced her down to the ground. Liz sliced one of the ribbons, freeing Rene. Doughboy grunted.
Meanwhile, Ms. Jewel had let Nakita and Kanari in a room.
"I don't know what to give you." Ms. Jewel said. "And there isn't really much of a choice." She went to a desk, and looked at the ornaments under the glass. "What I give you must be of great use. But you already have a swordsmen, cardcaptor, magician, laser worker (Rene and her earrings), a fortune teller (Doughboy and the globe), and Vash and Kelli, whatever they do." Ms. Jewel said more to herself than Nakita and Kanari. "I don't know much about them." She paused when she had walked the room four times and stopped in front of a door.
"How would you like a monster?" She asked.
"A monster!" Nakita exclaimed. "Why on earth would we want that?"
"Like Kero-chan." Ms. Jewel said. "I've got a lot of little beasts, but I suppose they won't be much use of to you." She looked at them. "Would any of you want one?" Nakita nodded.
"If you don't mind, Ms. Jewel, I would." Nakita said. Kanari shook her head. Ms. Jewel opened the door with a key and walked in. The two girls followed closely behind.
It looked like a greenhouse recreation of the rainforest, and Nakita immediately fell in love with a brown creature with green leaves coming out of his head. Kanari jumped back form it.
"This is the only real monster I have." Ms. Jewel said. "The rest are just ordinary creatures form earth." Ms. Jewel looked around, and added. "Oh, and from other planets too. That one is the one I rescued from Uri when I was a little girl." Nakita nodded. The little beast was shaped slightly like a hamster, only not nearly as fat, and had beautiful green eyes that matched the color of its leaves. Nakita picked it up, and it squealed happily, squiggling to get away. Ms. Jewel laughed, and said, "This is your new master. Nakita, what would you like to name her?" Nakita frowned and couldn't decide.
"You can decide later." Kanari said. "Time is scarce." Ms. Jewel walked out of the room, and Kanari quickly followed. Nakita closed the door behind them, holding her little pet.
"Kanari." Ms. Jewel held up a round ball, like the ones one would hang on a Christmas tree, only more decorated. "You shall have the power of the sun, and will be able to blind your opponents." Ms. Jewel smiled. "An awfully useful trinket. I have one for Nakita too." She held up in her other hand a set of three golden bells. "I cannot tell you what they do, for you must discover that yourself." Ms. Jewel smiled. "Surely Yuki and Snowy will help you, though." She handed them their new weapons and they walked out of the room with her.
"Attention." Ms. Jewel said, and everyone hurried over. "Okay, this is what we shall do when I suddenly turn into a jewel. I will be broken down into pieces and into each of you to keep the magic in order, but Yuki will keep the body of the jewel. Once Queen Jewel finds out about Eriol and Ariel, she will probably send more people, but that always takes some time, so it is very necessary that you stop Colton from reaching her at all costs."
"Is the Fifth Dimension in the Fourth?" Snowy asked. Ms. Jewel nodded
"Good." Doughboy said. "Colton will try his best, but he won't get past that door."
"I wouldn't be so sure." Ms. Jewel said. "And anyway, after I go, you will fly due straight into the mist until you see a tree. As soon as you are pretty near the tree, you descend and once again, the sonic boom will appear. You can go to and from Earth and Nothing, but there isn't much to do in my mansion, and I doubt you will ever find it again. You will be in the park."
"And time?" Rene asked nervously.
"Time will have only passed quarter of an hour." Ms. Jewel said. "The time line is slower on earth than it is on most planets and solar systems."
"And Nothings." Kanari added. "Shouldn't we call it something since we know there is something?" She asked.
I shook my head. "It's not good to mess around with these things." I said. "And besides, I have a feeling that this building will disappear once we go." They all shrugged. We were going to miss Ms. Jewel.
We left the ballroom (all but Doughboy, who started his lessons with Ms. Jewel) and Kero went to eat the last of the chocolate cake. No one had much of an appetite, but we certainly loved exploring the grand house. As we walked back to the ballroom, the walls of the mansion began to swirl and start to evaporate before our eyes.
"Quick!" I called, running towards the ballroom. It was almost too late. Kero flew beside us to keep up. When we reached the ballroom, Ms. Jewel was already a jewel in the air, and dropping. The floor had already evaporated, and all was left was mist. My wings began to spring out as there was nothing to step on, and I caught the jewel and safely tucked it in my pouch.
Doughboy was sitting on Rene's broomstick, resting. He soon summoned his bubble and resumed to the air. I looked at the remains of the now evaporation mansion, and noted which direction to go. I assumed that it just appeared and evaporated anywhere at anytime it felt like it. Kero came to stand next to me.
Rene was on her broomstick also, but her wings were sprouted too. Nakita and Kanari both had their wings out, and their trinkets in their hair. Nakita was holding the beast Cherry, as she had been named.
Kelli was flying, trying to hold up Vash, whom she was now supporting. Rene saw this and quickly flew over, letting Vash sit on the broomstick. Snowy was in the air too. Anora was on Kelli's shoulder. I looked around quickly for Liz, but didn't see her.
"Ahh, where's Liz?" I asked frantically. Snowy flew up beside me, holding Liz by her arm.
"Yuki, help me." Snowy said. "I've been carrying her around, but you haven't noticed, and she's heavy." I look Liz's other hand, and she sat on Rene's broomstick too.
"We aren't going to fit." I said. "Oh Key of Clow, Power of Magic, Power of Light, Surrender the Wand, the Force Ignite. Release! Fly!" My broomstick came out, and Liz conveyed herself onto it. I sat down.
"Okay, now that we're all ready, let's go." Kanari said. She took the lead, along with Snowy. Rene and I (with Vash and Liz on our broomsticks) followed. Kelli flew along beside Vash with Anora on her shoulder, and Kero sat on mine. Nakita, still holding Cherry in her arms as tightly as if she were made out of china, flew alongside me, and Doughboy brought up the rear, because his bubble couldn't move any faster.
Kanari spotted the tree first.
"There it is, there it is." She said, flying towards it. "Hurry up!"
"We ARE hurrying." Doughboy snapped. "Some of us can't move any faster." He looked at his bubble, which has limited visibility also.
"Yeah." I said. "C'mon Kanari, give us a break, the weapons don't fly as fast as the wings do." Kanari folded her arms, and scowled. By now we were close enough to the tree. Kanari looked down.
"I don't see anything but mist." She said. "How are we supposed to go down?" Snowy folded her wings tightly around herself.
"Like this." She said, dropping down. We heard a small sonic boom.
"Well, I trust her." Rene said. Sprouting her wings, she hung tightly on Vash and dropped. They both disappeared.
"And I trust Ms. Jewel." I said, patting my pocket. The wings off my wand disappeared, and (with my wings sprouted and hanging onto Liz) I dropped too.
I was falling at about the speed of sound (which is about 331/m, folks) and suddenly: there was a boom. I landed on the soft grass of the park and rolled over.
Snowy smiled. Her wings had already disappeared, and so had Rene's. I watched mine evaporate over my shoulder.
"You know, I kind of like this disappearing and reappearing business." I said, moving out of the way. Nakita and Cherry came down a second later, followed by Kero, Kelli and Anora, and Kanari.
"Ahh!" Doughboy fell on his bottom. "Ow, ow, OW!" He yelped. An old lady walking by looked at him. Luckily everyone had had his or her wings evaporated before then. We waved at the lady.
"Look." Rene said, pointing at the sky. All I could see was the blue sky and a few clouds. "There lies the threshold to Nothing."
