Magic Knight Rayearth DX

Disclaimer:
I do not own any of the Magic Knight Rayearth characters, but I don't want anyone taking the made-up characters. I made them myself!!

Notes:
Rated PG-13 for violence later on and some romantic scenes. Please R + R!! The fourth chapter... If you couldn't guess, the pairings are Hikaru/Lantis, Umi/Ascot, Fuu/Ferio, and Kage/... To be announced. Kage, just so you know, is very weird. You'll see why though soon.

Chapter Three : Anxiety

Kage felt soft grass between her fingers as she regained her consiousness. Something smelled sweet. Kage could almost recognize the smell. Like the dew in the morning she told herself. She opened her eyes and saw a great blue sky above her, and a flowered meadow in front of her. There seemed to be a puddle of water beside her, and she grew curious is she had hurt herself. She peered into the water, seeing no bruises, and no scars. Her heart began to pound with joy. Her scars had always been a major feature of her face, and now that they were gone, she may even be able to enjoy her life.

Yet then came another problem. Where in the world was she? Or, was she still on earth? "Is this a dream?" She asked herself, not realizing she had said it out loud. She stood up, and could now see a great towering forest in front of her. "This definately isn't Tokyo..." she began. Seeing everything so peaceful made her doubt that she was even on earth.

Kage felt fear and happiness at the same time. As she grew more aware of her current condition, fear mounted, and churned about in her gut. Then something became painfully aware to her. Someone-or something- was watching her. Something scurrried in the grass behind her, and Kage felt herself become deeper into danger as each moment went by.

"Gyaaaahhhhh!" A monster screamed behind her. The only thing she could do now was to run. It seemed pointless, running from something she couldn't run from. She just turned, and felt words in her mouth, longing to be spoken.

"Dark Turbulance!" She screamed, still unsure of what made her do so. Dark radiation flew from her outstreached palm, and destroyed the one-eyed being. Kage couldn't remember much after that, just that someone had taken her in arm, and taken her somewhere...

Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu looked in awe as they walked down the great tent, into what seemed to be an armory.

Sugoi...(Cool...) Hikaru said to herself. One of the weapons, a sword to be exact, lined with red gems and a golden-red sphinx glowed a bright red and seemed to come to her hand. As Hikaru approached the elder with her two friends, the sword seemed to shake upon the wall.

"Welcome, young women from another world." The speaker stood, he seemed to have knowlage of the ages, but at the same time looked so young.

"Maybe this is sorta like Cephiro... old kids, like Clef..." Umi whispered to Fuu.

"Umi-san, sometimes I think that it would benefit you to keep your comments to yourself." Fuu said in a much too proper way.

The elder interuppted. "Please, I am sure you are as anxious as I am to find the reason of your arrival. As you know, we are on the planet Celica, a moon of the land known as Cephiro."

"A moon!?" Hikaru gasped. She had never known anything had ever orbited Cephiro, even as being the pillar.

"Ever since the reign of the Pillar Emeraude, we have been independant, but as you can see, we are still very Cephiran. You must be the Legendary Magic Knights, judging from your knowlage of Cephiro. There is another legend, in our society, that when the ultimate defence of Celica is broken, meaning the three sphinxes are shattered, the Legendary Magic Knights of Cephiro shall rebuild them, using the minarals of the heart, which can never be broken. It makes as much sense to me as it does you. Which is why I will send you to see Sephia, the great mage. She will grant you magic, as well as point you in the right direction."

"But, how will we get to her, Mr. Ghalant?" Asked Fuu.

"This is when Scirrus and Beretta come in. The two know the landscape by heart, and shall accompany you. Beretta."

"Yes" came a muffled reply. Hikaru jumped, forgeting that Beretta was still there. "I will go get Scirrus, if it pleases you."

"Good, now, Magic Knights of Legend, choose a weapon you see before you." Ghalant said, pointing to the wall of weapons.

In almost an instant, a sword, rapier and bow came to the three girls' hand, each with some form of a sphinx on it. Hikaru had two sphinxes on hers, one on Umi's and a profile of one on Fuu's bow.

"It seems ironic, the three waepons which you three hold were made by the artisan Presia's father, Taromin. They were hand crafted as a gift to us during our struggle for independance. I hope they seve you well. These will be your permanent weapons while you stay here, but some say their magic grows with the user, not the weapon itself." Ghalant continued.

"Elder" said Scirrus, as he entered the tent with Beretta. "We are ready to escort the Magic Knights."
