Body "Power! I must have it! Power!" Hayashibara Tsukimi's statement ended in a shriek. She was inside her Dark Throne, alone to the universe. She was clothed in ghostly white robes and her tan skin stood out against the dullness of them. White was a rather dull color.

Tsukimi's eyes closed. She would beat them. Yes, she would. She would avenge the death of her mother and destroy those meddlesome children. They did nothing but walk around with not a reason to live in the world. She would destroy them, destroy them!

Or maybe... "Eriol!" she called for her henchman, her voice never wavering for a second. Instantly Eriol appeared, ready as always. "Yes, my queen?" He asked, stooping into a respectful bow. Tsukimi's face hardened. "Our little monsters are running around with another enemy on their hands. Attack while that enemy is also attacking. Then we can destroy them forever."

Eriol nodded gravely. "Your wish is my command." Tsukimi smiled wickedly. They have defeated their other enemy for the moment, but it will be harder to fight two at the same time, little senshi! "Take all the preparation time you need. I have a feeling the other enemy won't attack for a while. Two demons should do it."

"Hai, queen."

Tsukimi's wicked smile grew stronger. "We shall avenge my mother Eriol, avenge her we will." Eriol also began to don a smirk. "They shall not know what hit them your highness." Tsukimi smiled again. "Death shall come unto them. Betrayal upon them." Tsukimi dismissed Eriol with a wave of her hand. "Go along with your plans, Eriol. Report back to me only when finished."

Eriol bowed again and disappeared with a pop. Tsukimi turned away and picked up an old picture. It was of her mother holding her. "Okaa-san..." Tuskimi muttered, saddened once again. But... her mother had been killed by those little idiots' parents. She would avenge her mother. She would, she would.

Because revenge was what Tsukimi did best.

FALLEN ANGEL, SILENT PRIESTESS

(A/N: New theme alert. I didn't like the other. Gomen.)

Weather the Storm

The sky blacks out and the FASP logo shines a bloodred

If it seems like you're losing out,

Just forget about losing!

Erase!

Every little movement has a meaning!

You just have to weather the storm!

Weather the storm, weather the storm!

Shadows are falling all around; it is the time of haunting

Darkness flows in all directions!

Don't have a fear of terror!

Dark!

All those who live are born to die!

So if your life is not your own,

Weather the storm!

A raven flies overhead the woods on campus park; evil is approaching

One day, you'll see the light!

But till then...

Life!

On my own, I hate to say...

Live life to the fittest, have no regrets...

Weather the storm!

A black-haired girl holds a slender staff gripped firmly in two hands

Nothing is truly the good it seems,

I can tell you no less...

Evil!

As the clouds pass overhead,

Stay calm, stay with no emotion,

Weather the storm, weather the storm!

The cast of FASP stand in a group pose; magic items held out

FALLEN ANGEL, SILENT PRIESTESS

Disclaimer:

No, I do not own the original CCS characters. Blah, blah, blah and yadda yadda.

Oh, for this one you should listen to Komm, Susser Todd also or Gloria, available for download in same section. Aozora no Knife is also cool. Heehee. Aozora no Knife is the first season theme(I think). Gloria is by Hayashibara Megumi and is the image song for Karei(Mars). It's really pretty.

Episode Four

Ghostly Nightmares

The Power of the Cards!

Nothing. That was what eclipsed into the seemingly endless void that stretched out for light-years. The planet Saturn shone brightly in the sky that night. Very brightly. The sketchy events of that day were hard to understand. Yamino Shimi stood outside on a balcony off her room, her short dark locks waving in her face. A look of intense concentration was in her red eyes and it was surprisingly easy to figure out what she was thinking about.

It was visible in the crystallized image she held in her hand. She had been able to conjure the image up and crystallize it easily. The image was of herself. No, it was not because she was conceited. She was curious. Earlier that day a battle had taken place. She had somehow changed, yet not changed. She, and everyone else, wanted to know why. That's why Shimi had crystallized the image and left the others. They were probably asleep by now, Shimi figured.

The beautiful raven-black night sky was immortal, always staying. The night could be both comforting and horrific at the same time. It just depends on who looks at it. Night was a comfort to Shimi. She loved the blissful darkness of the night. The darkness that was herself. The song of the night was not understood by all, only by some.

Unclasping a black choker with a pretty garnet that was set in diamonds, she held it out in front of her. Immediately, billions of transfixed light lines reached out to the gem. Her gem was the key to the dimensions. She figured it could probably travel through time. But, she didn't know how to use it. What did you do with it? It sure didn't come with instructions, that was for sure.

Why had it been given to her? Was it some sort of talisman? From the future, maybe?

No one knew. Barely anyone knew it was more than a choker. Shimi had found the gem in a shining cave and then fastened it magically onto a choker and put the setting around it. That was all she had done. She didn't know.

But one day, someday, somehow, she would know its purpose.

*****

Gazing at what seemed to be a small key-sized pendant, Kinomoto Sakura was silently pondering all. They now had a large burden on their shoulders, that was for sure. What happened to 'No power too mighty!'? Something had happened to everyone. She had this strange sense of something predestined. Tumbling down... but what? It didn't make any sense. What was happening?

Something was about to be destroyed; something was about to destroy. Sakura dimly remembered saving all the annihilated students on the campus park with a spell of Dokumi's. But this evil drawing closer... All powerful, hidden in shadows. It was a Dosei card. Yet, it was stronger than an element card. What was it? She remembered Syaoran speaking dimly of some legend of the Dosei cards... Maybe this card connected to the legend!

It was worth a try at least. She would talk to him tomorrow. But for now... This aura, there was something weird about it. The sheer power it held... She couldn't worry about it tonight though. She needed rest so when it attacked she would be ready. Very ready.

She walkd over to her dresser and pulled out her pajamas. Green with pink flowers. She shrugged them on and pulled back the covers to her bed. Climbing in, she blanked out all thoughts and let the bottom drop out her mind. She turned on the radio and Aoi Usagi by Sakai Noriko burst into her room. The soothing melody calmed her. But still this strange power...

What was it? It was a card but... Not a weak one. It was more powerful than Hallucination. A lot more powerful. And it would not give mercy at all. It was true evil in its spiritual form. Power beyond the Four Element cards. Way beyond. This power... It scared her. She didn't know what it was.

And she didn't exactly want to know.

*****

The flames burned bright. A beautiful crimson fire was in the hearth of a small temple. Lanterns burned upon posts set around the temple in a path. To guide the light that penetrated darkness. Inside the small temple, indigo tressed Amamiya Kouri kneeled down, praying. Though it had been years since Kinomoto Nadeshiko's death, she was still prayed for. Nadeshiko had never known of her clan, but the clan had known of her. The Amamiya clan was one of the five ancient clans of magic.

Kouri was of medium-height with startling emerald eyes that stood out against her indigo tresses. She was clothed in white temple robes. Kouri stood up, the heels of her ankle boots clacking against the marble floor. She began the ancient words of the prayer against the destruction. "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. Deliver us... from EVIL!" She had risen into a shout. Was the prophecy truly coming true? Was the evil of Dosei released?

Deep in her heart, Kouri knew the rumors were true. She could feel it. There was a strong power pulsating deep on the island of Japan. The power was strong. The clan Amamiya would send a champion, one who possessed extremely strong magic. Kouri hoped she could be chosen as a champion, a chosen One. She wanted to prevent the destruction. It could be done. It would be done.

The intruders would be banished. If they destroyed Dosei... They could destroy the Dosei cards! Then the evil of them would never come true! She leapt to her feet and ran out of the temple, forgetting the one rune they could not translate of the prophecy. Inevitable. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. The ghostly words sounded like flowing water. Deliver us... from EVIL!

The prophecy had already been set in motion.

There was no turning back.

*****

Darkness. Ever since it had been created, it had only known darkness. Born in darkness, fought in darkness... The true evil of Dosei was not known. Cards of evil, created by evil, they would destroy all hope. Through lidded red eyes, it watched the town's movements. It would destroy them. Oh yes, destruction. What it lived for.

It smiled cruelly, revealed to be a girl with pale brown hair and petite features. Bloodred eyes stared through you, cutting into you. It was extremely beautiful; but deadly. It would turn on you easily. Thin reddish-brown robes clothed it and it was barefoot, hanging a few inches above the ground.

The ground where Kinomoto Nadeshiko was buried.

It would destroy. Destruction was the only option. A pale hand cruelly reached out and blasted the ground nearest to the gravestone. It exploded in a flash of brilliant light. It was mighty; and it was set to complete its mission. Total destruction!

Tomoeda would be a barren wasteland, it would make sure of that.

*****

Li Syaoran tossed and turned. It was painfully obvious he was having a bad dream. "SAKURA!" The name rang with a shout in the small room and Syaoran's fist clenched. "I won't--No, I won't let--" He fell back into the black void of dreamless sleep once more; it would only be about an hour before he woke up.

An ancient, beautiful temple hidden in an estate near the mountains.

A black-haired girl with equally disturbing black robes looking up to the sky.

A mahogany haired girl with silverish eyes holding a necklace with a crystalline teardrop on it.

Himself, holding a strange double-sided sword.

Sakura, holding a staff with a double-star; one pink, the other green.

The temple again.

An elegant tanned lady with long white hair, the same color as the moon.

The night sky with twinkling silver stars.

Syaoran opened one eye and yawned. It was 5:00 A.M. and he had gotten up early to do some research. "Ah, here it is." He picked up a dusty green tome and turned it to where he had last left off.

The Legend of Dosei

Before the Beginning of All, a Sorceror with Supreme magics unleashed a Mighty and Doomed Prophecy upon Us. It stated that when the Angel takes her Fall from Grace and the Silent Priestess finds her Talisman, an Ancient Evil shall be unleashed upon the World in which We know.

Many have Chosen not to Believe, But it is True. We have been Doomed by those Called Yin and Yan. The Angel spoken of in the Prophecy is a Future Generation of Yin; the Silent Priestess Yan. The World shall then be Destroyed by the Demons of the Moon. Believe in the Prophecy.

Take all Heed and Leave with Haste to the Night City. Before 'tis too Late. For the Fallen Angel and the Silent Priestess wait for Nothing. Nothing at All. Wind of Darkness has Doomed Us all.

Syaoran snapped the book closed, his soulful amber eyes widening in horror. He would have to make a few inquiries, but he was sure the Fallen Angel was Sakura. The Silent Priestess was probably Shimi. After that colossal attack this afternoon, there were not many doubts in his mind.

Fallen Angel, Silent Priestess.

Two destinies entwined into one. All they could do was watch Fate's deadly game unravel.

There was no moving destiny!

*****

Dokumi sighed. Pushing a sweat-dampened lock of chestnut-brown hair out of her face, she stopped to gaze at her reflection in the small mirror on the wall. Silverish almond eyes peered out at her and short, wave chestnut colored hair swished around her pale face. She closed her eyes and with a touch of magic, she was wearing a silver kimono depicting water and air. Her eyes were shadowed, as if hiding something.

Dokumi didn't know what she could hide from herself. Hiding, denying... What was the meaning of life, of death? No one controlled themselves; they were puppets in the cruel game of Fate. Fate was a cruel mistress; toying with your heart rather than your mind. Fate didn't toy with your mind; it already controlled. Pawns in the vast chess game of Fate. The board stretched ever onward. Way more squares that sixty-four.

Everything fitted together. Like a puzzle. Sort of like that silly puzzle game Shimi played, Pocket Monsters Puzzle League. You won by fitting pieces together. Was that how you won at life? There was always a level you couldn't reach, ne? Something you had to strive to achieve. The reason you lived; your purpose...

The cards of Dosei, knights. Shimi, a queen. It all played out like a game of chess. Just a game. This new aura; another part of the game. Dokumi laughed bitterly. Nothing was real; just fake and haunting.

Still, this aura; it was that of a cards'. Well, a Card Captor's work was never over. Dokumi walked over into her sister's room. Shimi was bent over a book, scanning it thoroughly. "What is that?" Dokumi queried haughtily; making it known she didn't exactly care. "Spiritual Myths," Shimi never glanced up from her book; flipping pages methodically.

A Card Captor's work was never done.

A haunting laugh.

*****

An explosion... wide spread terror... Something was happening to her friends! Eighteen-year old Kinomoto Sakura grasped her head in pain. This vision...! She needed to find Syaoran! She sped up and sprinted through the hall-way at a high speed; vaulting over every object in her path. Finally, she spotted him. "Syaoran--!" He looked up, bewildered. "Sakura?!" She grabbed his shoulder and clutched onto it, not letting go.

"People are in trouble!" She looked up with grief-stricken eyes and Syaoran didn't need to ask who. It was as plain as the night was dark. Her friends! He dashed out the exit; knowing Sakura would follow his lead. Summoning his sword, he held an ofuda scroll in his hand. "Fuu ka shou rai!" Winds appeared under his feet and he sped off; following the trail of destruction left in the wake of the creature.

Sakura reached the exit in time to see Syaoran speed off like the wind, whizzing through the air. She pulled out her bird-headed pendant. Placing it in front of her, she began to chant the ancient rite,

"Key of darkness,

Star of Clow

I, Sakura, command you!

Release!"

The wand appeared, shining with the intense brightness of the sun. Sakura smiled. The cards wouldn't let her down!

"Flight card of Clow!

I command thee!

Do my bidding!

Release!"

Swift as lightning, wings appeared on her staff and she sat on it, levitating a few feet. Then she sped off, dust rippling in her wake as she rose higher and higher. Her long hair swirled against her face and back with the wind. The tie of her uniform flung itself in her face and she pushed it off with a free hand. Gripping the cool pink metal of the Clow Staff, Sakura's face was grim.

She would capture this menace!

*****

In the park at Konsakura campus, Shimi cocked her head. A battle! Her red eyes glinting with battle light, a long rippling staff appeared in her hands. With raven's wings on her back, she flew up into the endless sky, following the aura of the card. She closed her eyes and with a flash the Hallucination card appeared in her hand. Holding it right above her face, she chanted,

"Yuurei ako no chikara!

Hisaki mitsu no yami!

Hallucination caardu!"

A billowy black spectre left the glowing card. The fierce wind that had blown up upon the card's release disappeared. When the spectre was fully formed, the spiritual being of Hallucination floated before Shimi. Mistress, what is your desire? The voice flowed along the breeze, sounding glamorous. Shimi smiled slowly, cruelly. "Attack the new foe. Defeat it." Shimi sped up once more. Now she was directly above the battle.

Hallucination stepped in front of the new card, which took the form also of a woman. Filming bloodred eyes and mousy brown hair were among its features. It smiled the same way Shimi did. Shimi held the staff out right before her. It flickered, rippled, then turned into a long, slim black rapier. It was time to fight!

The card held out a hand and the ground gave a great shudder and collapsed inward. Syaoran and Sakura were caught in the middle of the divide. Above the loud roar, Sakura's voice was heard shouting, "WHAT IS THIS?!" Now everyone stood divided on one side of the cliff or the other. The card closed its eyes and energy trickled into it. It faced Shimi, who oddly hadn't been affected by it.

It held up a hand and a blast formed inside it. The blast raced at Shimi, who carelessly let out one hand to divert it off-course. It's red eyes glowed and an aura of danger spread up around it. The card changed forms into a black dragon. With a loud roar it went up into the air, flapping its unnaturally large wings.

Shimi's eyes hardened and her raven wings reappeared. With a burst of strength, she, too, flew up into the air. Snarling angrily, the dragon shot a burst of fire from its mouth. Shimi moved to one side as the large glowing ball of heat exploded in contact with the nearest building, the post office. The dragon growled lowly in menace and Shimi smiled at it. Fakely, of course.

Sakura opened her eyes again and saw Shimi and the dragon facing off. The dragon, its power was so strong... "SHIMI! ABUNAI!!!" She screamed to the silent Shimi. The dragon's eyes hardened and everything turned red. With a howl, Sakura felt herself being ripped apart. "Nani...?" she managed to croak before passing out.

Shimi gripped her right arm and winced in pain. What was this creature? She closed her eyes and a dangerous black aura formed around her. Summoning the last of her strength, she sent an attack at the dragon, which howled in rage then disappeared. Shimi blacked out. Her wings disappeared and she fell seemingly lifeless from her high position and landed on the destruction, face down.

*****

What were those leaping flames? Some sort of explosion had totalled the post office. Was this magic? Did Sakura know? These thoughts were running through the Sakura-crazed head of Daidoujii Tomoyo. She had seen a red flare, then a black one. Whose work was this? Oh, Sakura must have been out, Li too. Tomoyo's amethyst eyes took on a look of intense hatred.

"I will capture Sakura's heart." She voiced determinedly, her voice echoing in the long hall.

"You are pathetic. Cowardly, I would say." Tomoyo whirled around to find the source of this cold voice. Yamino Dokumi stood in the hall, silver eyes blazing with coldness. Her voice cut into Tomoyo like ice. "What would you know? You don't even know me!" Dokumi merely smiled icily. "I know more than you want me to know."

Tomoyo shivered despite herself. Dokumi walked past, heading for the door. "You're not allowed to go there you know." Her voice sounded lonely and forlorn in the long shimmering hall. Dokumi replied without turning back, "I do what I want." Dokumi disappeared behind the door.

Tomoyo gathered up her resolve. She too walked through the door. The sight stunned her and left her gaping for air. Sakura, Syaoran, and Shimi were all unconscious on the ground and the post office was completely obliterated. But all the destruction on the ground was gone! How weird...

She ran over to Sakura, oblivious to the fact Dokumi was watching her silently. She put Sakura's head on her lap. "Sakura! Wake up! SAKURA!" Tears fell from her eyes in a silent cascade, but still Sakura did not wake up. One tear hit Sakura's pale cheek and her emerald eyes fluttered open. "Syao-ran..." She managed to croak out, not noticing she was being held by Tomoyo.

Another of Tomoyo's tears landed on her cheeks and she looked up. "Tomoyo-chan...?" She was confused. Why was Tomoyo here? How long had she been unconscious?

*****
