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!! Chapter seven. Whoo, this is getting long. This is hardly the begining though, so there are going to be a _lot_ of chapters. Thirty to fourty I'd expect. Anyway, please enjoy!
Chapter Seven : Insecurity
Hikaru looked over towards Umi and Fuu, who were now talking about Cephiro for the thirtieth time at least. Hikaru had begun to hang around with Beretta, especially since Beretta had been teaching her more of those symbols each night. She knew three now.
There was that squiggly circle mark, which she had accidentally used with Lantis. She knew they had gone through, beacause she felt a hopeful and nervous reaction at the other end. And it just _felt_ like Lantis. She had been very hard to wake up that morning, and had probobly passed out after the spell. Umi and Fuu were quite worried.
The next mark was definately more of a travellers' mark. It made what seemed to be a compass on the users' left hand. She had found it useful only once, when Fuu had asked her if the sun set in the east or west so she could tell time. It was four marks in one, north, south east, and west, each a criss-crossed shape. North was a diamond, south was a half circle, east a weird triangle, and west a criss-crossed square.
The third and most recent marking was that of a protection-type. Using the compass spell, the user would picture the marks of north, south, east, and west not on one's hand, but as a diamond around him or herself.
Hikaru was gaining more and more knowlage on what seemed to be the 'Drah' magic, and became more and more curious. Once, she became so intent with her practicing, she forgot completely about Lantis. Yet, only for a little while.
Hikaru realized what was going on when suddenly Scirrus brought his sword out, and motioned everyone else do the same. It seemed to be more than just an ordinary monster. A priest, perhaps? Hikaru had drawn her sword and stood in a regularly used kendo stance, and waited to strike.
Two, three minutes passed, and still nothing but grumbles. Umi became extremely impatient, and let out an annoyed sigh. That was when it showed itself.
A massive lion with pearly-white teeth and claws stood behind Umi, drool leaking from it's right side of its mouth. Its mane was stained with blood and its eyes blood-shot. It seemed to be very much displeased.
Fuu launched an arrow at its foot without a word, but let out a supried noise of somesort when the arrow hit with deadly accuracy strait towards its leg, but bounced off, making it even more upset.
Umi was now the priority target, and couldn't do much else but to run. The lion ran at her, knocking her to the side with a slight move of a paw, and then aimed strait at Beretta, semmed drawn by her high level of magic.
Scirrus wouldn't let the beast hit her though, and pushed her aside with a quick "Look OUT!" He ran up with his sword in hand and lunged at the beast's heart. He struck, but in vain. The blade bounced off once, twice. This thing just woukdn't take physical wounds.
"Beretta, we need magic!" Hikaru yelled outloud, hoping Beretta would know some spell. Hikaru got no reply, and ran over to where Beretta lay. Scirrus lay tending to her, looking very concerned.
"Is she-"
"No. She just knocked out. This isn't good. She's more of a sorceress, I a worrior. We need magic to fight this beast!" He explained to the red knight, vey concerned. "You are magic knights, right? Don't you know any magic?!" He yelled at Hikaru, taking Beretta in his arms.
Hikaru felt guilty, as if she was doing a wrong. *If she's so important to him, why isn't he helping?* She looked around and noticed what was happening, Fuu had trying her best to help Umi out, and Scirrus was with Beretta. It was up to Hikaru.
She began searching her soul, for anything that might contain a flicker of magic. She found it... along with the painful memories of leaving Cephiro. Could she concentrate of just her magic? Would she be able to forget these memories and help? She had to. She had to if she even wanted to think about Lantis, beacuse if she didn't, she would surely die.
The lion was nearly upon her now, and Hikaru held up her sword, draining all the energy she had put into her fighting.
"Saka Fire!!!" She screamed, letting a red beam escape from her sword. The red lights and lasers blinded her, but only for a second. She dropped her sword and fell to her knees. She hoped now everyone would be all right. She knew that the magic had just taken its toll, and was now leaving her body bare of energy. She fell back into Scirrus's arms, and dragged her to wheer the rest were.
"Good job, magic knight." He said before she fell asleep.
