Magic Knight Rayearth3



Chapter Two

Crystal Eruption

Kamen put his feet up on the coffee table and relaxed on the couch. He let out a sigh of relief as he finally got to be laid back for an hour or so. His left ear was pierced with a small hoop. He had dirty blond hair with a green shine in it. His eyes were a dark green. He wore a pair of black baggy jeans and a tight long sleeved orange shirt. A loud *thunk* from above his head startled him. Kamen cautiously stood up and looked around. He thought he saw something sparkle in the corner, but he was wrong. Kamen stood up and stepped around the coffee table and headed up the stairs. Was someone in his house? No way. Kuu, the oldest sibling, was away on an after school trip. Tainra, his twin was working with their mother. And then the middle child, Fuu, was…gone. Lost in Cephiro forever. He missed Fuu so much after she had left. It was never the same. He had always gotten along with the whole family, but Fuu he got along with the best. Tainra would never admit that Fuu was really gone, she would always say, "Eh, she'll be home soon!" He knew she was just covering up her feelings. He turned the corner and his arm hit something extremely sharp. His left arm had been pierced by…a strange blue-white crystal? He looked around, alert, her noticed, as every minute went by, things began to grow. Interesting plant life was growing, it looked utterly familiar. Kamen stepped into his room. What looked like a rose bush sprung out at him? Kamen dodged quickly, hitting the wall. He darted around the growing crystals and grabbed his sword, which was mounted, delicately on his wall. He yanked his sword out of its sheath and began chopping away at the attacking plants. He got few cuts and scrapes. Before leaving he grabbed some belonging of his and his families and fled from the house. The house was taken over by the queer plant life and its devastating crystals. Soon the whole house was brought crashing to the ground, it began to spread. Kamen ran for his life, he held the tears back as he thought this would all be solved if Fuu were here. He turned the corner and charged into his mother's office building, Tainra and his mum were there. He ran in the building and hopped on the elevator and went up to the 11th floor. As son as he stepped off the elevator he smashed into Tainra. "Watch where you're going stupid!" she yelled at him playfully. Tainra had soft blue-green eyes and silky blond hair. She wore blue hip-hugger bell bottoms and a long sleeved shirt that looked like a close up of a Christmas Tree. She has stylish black platform boots on. Kamen smiled at his twin, he loved her dearly. The snow outside fell gently to the ground. "What's up?" Tainra asked, seeing the pale look on her brothers face. "Well..." Kamen began, but a tall woman with dark blond hair, held in a ponytail, approached. She was in a tan secretary outfit and glasses hid her deep green eyes. "Hey Mom." Kamen said, the worry on his face growing. "What's wrong honey?" His mom, Sarah, asked. "Turn the news on." Kamen shot a quick glance at his sister. Tainra nodded and looked at her mother, " i will turn it on in your office." Tainra trotted into her mom's office. Tainra flicked the TV on and sat down watching the horrid sight where Kamen had come from. Tainra rushed past her mother and grabbed Kamen's wrist, dragging him until they were out of the building. "WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Tainra screamed at Kamen. "I have no clue!" Kamen screamed back. "Is there anything we can do?" Tainra began to panic. Kamen calmed his sister slightly and the two went towards the destruction.

The crystals sprouted everywhere, constantly coming. Kamen shook his head, trying to control his own anger. Tainra lifted a small gold chain from her pocket. On this gold chain was a ghostly colored phoenix and an emerald circle surrounding it. Tainra held it above her head and spoke the words as clear as daylight:

"Oh, Demon Spirit of the Shadows, come forth and return to me what is rightfully mine. The soul that lies within thee, the power, the will."

Tainra's body began to glow, her hands and arms spread before her, legs together, and her head gently tilted towards the ground. Kamen stared, he had no idea his twin had the ability to use magic as well. Kamen nodded, as the spell Tainra enchanted goes to work. Kamen looked down to his right arm, suddenly remembering that he had brought his sword is right there, on his right hand. Kamen reached into his pocket and pulled out a pocket knife, he slashed the right coat sleeve off. Revealing a black arm/hand glove. The glove part did not cover fingers or thumbs. On the top of Kamen's hand was a circular gold gem. Kamen took his left hand and placed it over the gem. He was about to use this gem for something until he noticed something his sister was doing. Tainra's arms were strait in front of her holding what seemed to be a ball of energy. Her eyes glowed a silvery-gray and her outfit seemed to be a black gown, no detail was shown on it. Once again Tainra spoke:

"Demon Spirit your princess has been awakened! Sould of the shadow world lend me what life you have left so you may be renewed! Lend your power to me, so all shadow souls will bow to me!"

Although this time something responded to Tainra's incantation:

"Thy will is strong and thy heart is pure. One's care fills the heart and supports the will. Thy will be given this power on one condition, the condition's of one's heart, mind, body, spirit and one's will."

The voice was deep and soothing. The sky around Tokyo began to darken. EVerything seemed to fade in Kamen's vision, the last thing he saw before passing out was his sister unleashing the large ball of energy...
