~Chapter Eight~

Clef and Presea joined the little group in the hall. "Hello, Hikaru, Umi, Fuu." Presea smiled. "Hi Presea! Clef!" Hikaru giggled. "Hello." Clef nodded. "Shall we go to the other room? There are some people I'm sure you'll also want to see." So everyone followed Clef to the other room. *** Eagle, Geo, Zazu, Lady Aska, Sung-yun, Old one, Tatra and Tarta were visiting Cephiro. They were all waiting for the Cephirians to arrive. They were talking amongst themselves. Clef walked into the room. "Excuse me. We have some visitors. Do you mind if they join us?" He asked the others. "I suppose not." Eagle replied. The others all agreed. Two hands appeared on the framing of the door and then a head popped in the door. It was Hikaru. "So.Did you miss me!?" She giggled. "Don't forget me!" Umi popped her head in too. "And me." Fuu joined them. "Hikaru, Umi Fuu!" Tatra jumped out of her seat and giggled as she clapped her hands together. "Oh brother.you get way to excited sometimes." Tarta sighed. "How did you get back here?" Lady Aska asked. The three girls shrugged. "Well anyways, it nice to see you again." Zazu grinned. "Yeah!" Hikaru agreed. The three girls went around the room and gave everyone a hug, telling them how much they missed them. After the greetings were over everyone got serious. They all were seated on one of Clef's floating chairs. "So what's going on Clef?" Umi asked. "We know there's something you're not telling us." Ferio crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Yes there is something." Clef starred down at the floor. "Shatano, another old student of mine is causing major problems in this world and will soon be causing problems in the Magic Knights' world. He is creating rips in between all the different worlds out there and if he continues all of the worlds will combine and will turn into a giant black hole because of it." Clef told them all. "What? How is he doing all this Mr. Clef?" Fuu asked in awe. "He has created things known as demon seeds. He shoots them into the ground of the world he is in and the seed emits a power that creates the rip." Clef replied. Suddenly the castle began to shake. Hikaru fell off her chair and on to her knees while Fuu fell into Ferio's lap. All the Cephirian's were used to the tremors so they were fine. Umi had been standing next to Ascot's chair instead of sitting and was holding on to the chair. She was standing fine until Caldina purposefully tripped her and she landed in Ascot's lap. Ascot's face burned so bright you would have been able to see him in the dark! "Caldina!!!!!!!!!!" Umi shrieked. "You did that on purpose!" "What are you talking about little missy? I didn't do a thing!" Caldina said innocently. Fuu was blushing almost as much as Ascot.almost. "I'm sorry." She squeaked and got off him after the tremor. "Don't worry. You're just haven't gotten used to it yet." Ferio replied. "No I haven't." She shook her head and found a certain spot on the floor and pretending there was something interesting to look at there. Lantis knelt down beside Hikaru and offered her his hand. "Here, I'll help you." He said. "Thanks." Hikaru smiled and placed her hand on his. The two of them stood up together and then sat back down. Clef stood frozen still with a cold stare. "Clef, is something wrong?" Presea asked with a concerned tone in her voice. "He's outside the castle." He muttered. "Who is?" Geo asked. "Shatano. I sense him just outside the castle." Clef explained. "WHAT!?" Everyone gasped. Suddenly the three magic knights began to glow. Red, blue and green lights filled the room and when they faded the knights were gone. "Where did they go?" Zazu wondered aloud. "They are with the rune gods now." Clef told them. *** "Magic Knights." Three deep voices called out from the darkness. Suddenly the three Rune gods appeared before Hikaru, Umi and Fuu. "Celes." "Rayearth." "Windom." "Shatano is invading the castle. Will you protect it?" Rayearth asked. "Yes! Of course I will protect it!" Hikaru cried. "As will I!" Fuu followed. "I will fight too!" Umi agreed. "We will fight for Cephiro!" They all shouted. The three changed into their strongest armor. They were then transported into their rune gods. Suddenly they were floating in the skies of Cephiro. Floating in front of them was a dark rune god. "That must be Shatano!" Hikaru guessed. "I would assume so Miss. Hikaru." Fuu agreed. "Ah." Shatano's voice emitted from the rune god. "You three must be the famous magic knights. I've heard a lot about you so I prepared well." He told them. "Oh yeah!?" Umi cried and flung foreword at Shatano. She swung her sword at him as hard as she could. She managed to swipe a good cut in his shoulder. She backed up. "HA!" She laughed. "Oh I don't have time for this!" Shatano shouted. "You will pay!" He threw out his hand. All around them was a high-pitched sound. "What is this!?" Hikaru screamed. "It is my special device. It sends out a high note that distracts my opponents." Shatano explained. "So I can do THIS!" He laughed evilly. He sent out a magical attack. A wave of pain spread over the three girls until they couldn't take it any longer. They gave up. Rayearth, Celes and Windom disappeared and the girls' outfits went back to their school uniforms. They started to fall to the ground, unconscious. Shatano on the other hand cackled as he flew far away. "Hikaru!" Lantis shouted as he gripped the windowsill. "No! Fuu!" Ferio cried and almost smashed the window as he slammed his fist on the window. "Umi!" Ascot shouted and did everything someone can do when panicking besides smashed his face against the window. The others all stood there in a shocked silence. Clef snapped out of it and sent Fyula out but it was a lost cause because the three girls had disappeared. "And that's the last we really remember of that battle." Umi sighed. By this time everyone had finished eating his or her dinner. They all paid for their part of the dinner and left. They decided to split up and just go around town then meet at the Tokyo Tower to go back to Cephiro. Lantis and Hikaru were walking together through a small park. Hikaru leaned against Lantis's side and Lantis wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked. "It's so beautiful out here!" Hikaru sighed. "Not as beautiful as Cephiro used to be though and will be again." "Right." Lantis agreed. Hikaru stepped in front of Lantis. She ran up ahead. "I can't wait for the day when Cephiro is back to being beautiful!" She smiled. "Hikaru please be careful!" Lantis warned her. "Stop worrying! Ever since the accident you have been WAY over protective of me." Hikaru giggled. "It's rather cute actually!" She took another step foreword and suddenly she was gone. Hikaru ended back in Cephiro. She didn't realize where she was so she kept walking and she fell right off a cliff. She began to fall. "HELP!!!!!!!!!!!" She cried as she fell. Then a strong hand grabbed her wrist. She looked up and Lantis had caught her. "Lantis! Don't let go!" "I won't! I won't let you fall!" Lantis assured her though at that very moment Hikaru started slipping. Lantis tried to pull Hikaru up but her hand slipped out of his and she fell down. "LANTIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "HIKAURU!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hikaru's tears fell from her face as she fell down herself. She shouted for dear life that she wouldn't die. Then she landed on something and she wasn't squashed flat. She opened her eyes to find that she was on Fyula's back. "Huh?" Her cat ears and tail appeared. She hugged Fyula. "Thank-you so much!" She cried. "But that means that Clef is here too!" Fyula began to fly away. "Wait! We have to go get Lantis first!" Hikaru told him. The giant fish nodded and flew up to the edge of the cliff. Lantis still lay flat on the ground his face buried in his arms. Tears slowly dribbled down her face. "Hikaru." He whispered over and over. "What you think I'd die that easily?" A voice giggled in front of him. Lantis's head shot up to come face to face with Hikaru. Her head rested on her arms, which were crossed on the edge of the cliff, her eyes starring intently at Lantis. "Hikaru!" Lantis choked and scooped her into his arms. He held her as if he would never let go. "But how?" He asked. Hikaru pointed over the side of the cliff where Fyula floated. "Clef sent him." She explained jumping out of Lantis's arms and on to Fyula's back. "Come on Lantis!" She smiled and extended her hand to him. "Uh." He stuttered. "Oh come on! You can't tell me that you're scared, you go flying on your spirit horse all the time!" Hikaru exclaimed. "Yes, but my spirit horse isn't a giant fish!" Lantis replied. "Oh just get on!" Lantis hesitantly got on the giant fish. "See it wasn't that bad was it?" Hikaru jabbed him lightly in the side. "Can we just go now?" He rolled his eyes. "Of course!" Hikaru laughed and Fyula flew off.
