Hikaru, Umi and Fuu. . .Witches?!?
Chapter 16:Enemies of Enemies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think this will be the last chapter with a title.There will be an epilogue
though, I'll see if I can find HP book 2 and add another twist to it. If I
somehow cannot, I shall proceed to MKR+HP3. Give thanks to Shin-chan because
when I finish this fanfic, he'll fix the spelling and grammar and I'll
re-upload the fixed chapters one by one.

The passageway before the next door was very narrow and winding.Then the
three Knights stopped, in between them was some steps then the door. Hikaru
stopped the other two before they took the steps. "Do you hear something?"
Hikaru looked left, then to the right. Yet there was nothing to be seen but
the torchlight hanging.
Umi looked above her as she listened and saw flying birds. "Look
there!" she exclaimed. "Those are weird-looking kind of birds if you ask me."
she commented.
"Nevermind, let us open the door." Fuu said. Hikaru took hold of the
rusty doorknob and pulled with all he might. Umi and Fuu joined in but up to
no avail."I think this door is locked." as she looked up once more to observe
the flying creatures. "Wait, if you look closely these 'birds' are keys with
wings."
"You're right Fuu, but how do we learn which key is which?" Umi
said as she covered her eyes from the flashes she recieved from the keys.
"There are broomsticks here! We could ride it but-"Fuu was cut by
Umi.
"We're good but we're not as fast the way Harry rides his broomstick
you know."
"I know! We could use the recognizing spell I read from the library.
It could recognize the key needed to get through this door." Hikaru
remembered and raised her special wand."Dignosco!"
A tiny red glow slowly appeared.When the key neared them, the key's
wings were bent roughly, proving that Harry, Hermione and Ron quickly got
past this obstacle."I'll do it this time. Attineo!" Fuu ordered her wand.
Fuu's wand gave out a green glow and pulled the large key quickly like a
tractor beam. "Got it!" She jammed the key and turned it, making a loud click
that was heard aloud.
"Go! We don't have much time!" Hikaru pushed the other two, making
them almost stumble. "Sorry, but we have to go!"
Then they saw Hermione running up from the other side of the room
from another door. In between them,as they assumed was a large chess set who
had just gone into battle.And in the middle of all the fallen debris was Ron,
totally unconscious. "Oh dear, what happened?" Umi ran to intercept Hermione
and Ron. "Is he dead? Oh I knew something like this would happen!" she said
as Fuu joined her and took Ron's wrist for a pulse.
"He's not dead at all, only bruised badly. Clear out!" Fuu said, like
as surgeon in an operation.She raised her left arm and closed her eyes.
"Winds of Healing!" she lifted Ron's body by making the green winds blow him
upwards and healing his wounds.
"Tell us everything-and FAST!" Hikaru pulled Hermione closer to them.
"Ron let Harry win the chess game at the cost of his getting hurt.I
then helped Harry to get him past through the next obstacle over there while
I returned because there was not enough potion for both of us to pass
through." Hermione said as fast as she can.
"Well.." Hikaru took a deep breath. "Take Ron back up, and tell all
the other teachers as we had told you earlier.Now!"
"Yes, make sure Harry will be alright." Hermione pulled Ron's newly-
healed body.
"We will do our best." Umi said and gripped her fists more tightly
than before.
"Oh and Hermione, please pray for us, especially Hikaru." Fuu
reminded them.
They ran once more to the next obstacle.The door behind them had shut
itself as quick as it was opened. Another step or two, flames sprang at the
sideways, blocking both the entrance and the exit. "There's no more potion,
right?" Umi was now in her mad mode.The other two just nodded, surprised at
Umi's sudden energy surge of anger."Water Dragon!" she made her dragon open
the door for them while they ran for it.
"What's this?!?!" Quirrell turned around and stopped his muttering.
He saw the three Knights barge into the dungeon door, well equipped and
guraded."Well well well, isn't it the Legendary Magic Knights of Cephiro,
I've heared from you very well."
"Harry!" Hikaru gave out one slash and freed Harry from the ropes
Quirrell ordered to wrap around him.
"Are you fine? Did he do anything to you?" Umi asked.
"I'm totally fine, he has not harmed me yet." Harry brushed himself
up.
"Where have you gotten this information?" Fuu threatened Quirrel with
her large sword.
"OR YOU'LL WHAT?" a dark shadow slithered to the left of Quirrell and
revealed her true form.
"Devonaire! I knew you were the one behind this!" Hikaru positioned
herself to battle.
"ON THE CONTRARY, THIS IS ALMOST THE DARKEST AND MOST SCARIEST PLACE
THAT CHILDREN FEAR MOST. WHY SHOULD I NOT BE HERE?" Devonaire blocked the
passage to the Mirror of Erised as Quirrell studied the mirror more.
"You shall never get the Stone!" Umi bravely said as she too, took
her fencing stance.
"I'm afraid you have to stand back Harry, this might be very
dangerous." Fuu gave Harry the most serious glance he had never seen.
"DANGEROUS IT SHALL BE! FOR I HAVE BECOME MORE POWERFUL THEN EVER!"
Devonaire stretched her arms very wide, revealing the vast darkness under her
clothes, most especially her cloak. In mere seconds the darkness diffused
itself, all four were now inside her territory, no one could see nor hear
what was happening nearby the Mirror."WE SHALL BATTLE HERE, IN MY VERY OWN
TERRITORY. MY SOURCE OF POWER!"
""Ssstop your bickering and get on with it.!"" the voice of a hell
that they have never heard of. They could not find its source anywhere.
"THE ONLY REASON YOU GET THE STONE FIRST IS BECAUSE I CANNOT ENTER
THE OLD MAN'S MAGICAL BARRIER. LET ME DEAL THEM IN MY OWN TIME."
""Do it then you fool!""
"NOBODY CALLS THE QUEEN OF DARKNESS A FOOL!"
""Oh but you cannot do anything about it. I'm the only one who can get to the stone.""
"LEAVE ME THEN,I CAN DEAL WITH THEM!"
The voice never answered back again.
"AT LAST, I SHALL TAKE MY REVENGE BACK TO YOU!"Devonaire sent surges
of black lighting. She intentionally directed to Harry.
"You cannot harm him, not even a single strand of hair! Winds of
Protection!" Fuu got in front of the messy haired lad just in time, but it
seemed that Devonaire was thrice stronger than their last encounter.Their
practice was not enough.Fuu was forced to kneel down at her overwhelming
force.
"YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH POWER HERE! YOU DID NOT EVEN IMPROVE MUCH!" she
gave an evil grin.
"Globus ara!" came a voice from behind Fuu. It increased the size of
the wind's sphere. It came from Harry "You must never forget, I am also your
friend, and friends do not leave each other alone" he pushed his wand nearer.
Hikaru took the chance when Devonaire was busy. She ran and took a
large leap towards her with her sword in front."Hiiyyeeaahh!!" the tip of the
sharp blade hit Devonaire but it only bounced the Knight of the Flames twice
the pressure she gave to her enemy.She went flying backwards, skidding to an
abrupt halt."I cannot harm her! Not even a scratch!"
"YOU CANNOT. I AM A SHADOW, YOU STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED THAT OUT." she
grinned some more.
"If you're a shadow, the only thing that can make a shadow dissapear
is light." Umi said. She took her wand and said "Lumos!" but the light from
her wand was not that bright.
"Lumos!" came three other voices. The light was bright, it began to
singe her body.
Devonaire only brought forward her left arm and produced a dark
shield, of a mass of moving darkness, like another dimension. She sheilded
herself.But she was interrupted.
""Devonaire, I want the boy! He is the key!"" the hell echoed upon
all of them.""And do the fighting outside, it's too cramped in here."" he
said slyly.
After the hell's voice said his last word, all of them were
transported outside the grounds-without Harry! "Harry!" the three Knights
shouted.
"We should have not let him into this. It's my fault." Hikaru seemed
to curse herself for not being a very good leader.
"Hikaru, stop that! You are the best leader we have ever had. We're
human, remember? We also make mistakes!" Umi told Hikaru bravely.
"The only thing we can do about mistakes is to make amends for the
damage. One is banishing Devonaire from our own world." Fuu gave a sideward
glance at Devonaire, who had made herself larger, taller than the castle.
=Back at the castle with Harry=
Harry had already got the Stone. He had figured out that finding the
Stone would make it appear from the Mirror. Voldemort was now revealed to
him and forced Quirrell to attack him, but he only got hurt. It also had an
effect on Harry, making his scar seem to pierce his head with pain. That gave
Harry his instinct to hold his face until Quirrell is totally burned. He had
no choice. It was either Quirrel or himself. He was now blinded by the pain,
his body shaking, still trying to cling onto Quirrell although he had no more
energy to hold on more. A third hand appeared, separated Quirrell and him but
Harry could no longer endure it, his last word slipped out of his lips barely
"no!" he collapsed on the floor unconscious.
Quirrell crumbled into pieces like pottery broken by a rock. A dark
shadow of a man left Quirrel's body.Voldemort was no longer there also.
The third person just watched what happened. He was ready for the
battle but was too late. Dumbledore lifted poor Harry's unconscious body out
of the dungeons.Ron and Hermione were waiting for them at the third floor
corridoor.
"What happened Headmaster?!? Where is Hikaru, Umi and Fuu??!?" said
Hermione.
The wizened old man just shook his head and said "I never saw them
there.All I saw was Harry preventing Voldemort."
"VOLDEMORT?!?" Ron started to go hysterical about the mention of
You-Know-Who.
"Hold yourself boy! There is nothing to fear about his name. Now
come,let's bring Harry to the hospital wing." Dumbledore, Ron and Hermione
rushed Harry. While there, Dumbledore made sure if the three Knights were
surely in the dungeons."Hermione, are you sure Hikaru, Umi and Fuu were also
there too?"
"Yes Sir Dumbledore, they were there. They even asked us to pray for
them, especially for Hikaru." the bushy brown-haired girl replied.
The Headmaster's thoughts were already pacing very fast."You two,
follow me. We are going to the Great Hall." he went outside the room and
passed by the Faculty rooms where the Professors were sleeping in. He knocked
as every door as he passed by, waking the sleepers. When they went out in
their nightshirts, there was no question in Dumbledore's face that they have
to follow him. All went to the Great Hall where Dumbledore gave a wave above
where the Enchanted ceiling hangs. It showed them Hikaru, Umi and Fuu
battling the large shadow of a woman that the Headmaster encountered before.
He then announced that the House Professors bring all their students in
the hall-and fast.
=Back in the Battle=
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu separated as they jumped away from the different
lightning bolts sent toward them by Lady Devonaire. They could no longer
near her because the black shield was now surrounding and protecting the
Queen of Darkness. They had no other choice but to call upon their powerful
Legendary Mashins.The three Knights slowly drew out their swords as they
continuously dodged and dogded.
=Great Hall=
Everyone was already watching with awe. They didn't knew that their
classmates could do that. Someone unexpected also appeared. It was Mokona,and
he hopped beside the Headmaster, also watching the scene.
=Battle=
Their swords were now gripped tightly between the three Knight's
hands. They raised it into the air although they were very far apart from
each other."WE CALL UPON THEE THE POWERS OF THE MASHIN!" they chorused
seriously.
"LEXXUS!" Hikaru shouted.
"CELES!" Umi ordered.
"WINDAM!" Fuu asked.
Then from afar, the dark clouds parted slightly and down, down came
three large robotic-like giants. One was clad all in red with a right arm
shaped like a shield with a hand hand jutting from the end and flaming cape.
The second was all clad in blue with head, wings and a tail much like a
dragon's, but only larger.The third one was all clad in green with the head
and wings like a Phoenix and leather-like feathers aligned neatly at its
shoulders. All three Mashins kneeled in front of the Knights whose swords are
still raised. Then a white light engulfed each Knight showing a
transformation of clothing, a little like the Mashin kneeling before them.
"Magic Knights, don us once more so that this world will be cleansed
of the dark shadows that were remnants of Past Cephiro." Lexxus's red eyes
gleamed.
"To recreate the peace that was to be forever on this planet."
Celes added, raising its enormous wings.
"And to heal those who were damaged, not only physically but also
their will." Windam continued as a green light came from its centermost orb,
its heart.It pulled her quickly before you could say anything. Umi and Hikaru
were already inside as they prepared themselves.
"Its good to see you all healthy an fine."Hikaru said as the three
Mashins stood upright.
"We will always be in your hearts, wherever you go.You only need to
call us." The Mashins gleamed.
"It's time we end this battle!" Umi drew out her large sword."Prepare
to fight us Devonaire!"
"THAT I AM." She raised her hand and concentrated her energy and
formed it into a large creepy-looking sword.
"Let's go!" Hikaru said as all three attacked using their enormous
swords but Devonaire intercepted all three, locking the three swords.
"THIS IS ALL TOO EASY." Devonaire said as she forcefully pushed them
backwards at an alarming speed-and towards the castle.
Hikaru used her legs to stop from directly hitting the castle. Umi
took her rapier and plunged it into the ground while Fuu took flight. They
nearly shook the castle as small stones crumbled to the ground.
=Castle=
"EEeeekkk!!" All the students panicked running at every direction.
What the knights thought was a close shave caused a small earthquake. All
the other professors just sealed the doors and windows tightly to prevent
the students from going back to their rooms.
"Silence!" Dumbledore raised bot of his hands. "There is no need to
panic. I advise all to look back at the ceiling and support our brave
schoolmates."
"Puu!! Pupuu!!" Mokona squealed.
=Battle=
"Is she really that strong?" Fuu looked down at the enemy from the
sky.
"I think its just that we're still a bit rusty." Umi said.
"If we have beaten her before, we can beat her again. And thats the
final line. No one must have doubts of their ability, we are all in this
together!" Hikaru stood up and stretched her arms. "Red Lightning!"
"Blue Tornado!"
"Green Hurricane!"
Devonaire shielded herself and their combined powers went thud, still
trying to outdo the Queen of Darkness. All three Knights held out their arms
tightly, letting out more power from their combination attack. Devonaire just
kept pushing on the opposite direction, though it seemed that she is now
having a hard time trying. Then the attack stopped. The three were now very
tired, including Devonaire. "CURSE YOU!"
As a last resort, Hikaru, Umi and Fuu resolved to use the last of
their powers, calling upon the mighty Rayearth Mashin. But before they did,
Hikaru said "Please pray for us!".
=Castle=
The only one who heard this was Mokona. He immediately bounced around
the Headmaster trying to get his attention with the most concerned face.
"What is it?" Dumbledore looked at it as it stopped hopping.
"Puupupupuu!! pupupupuuuuupuu!"He tried to explain, but no one
understood.
"Do you want us to do something?" Professor McGonagall understood his
body movements.
"Puu!" Mokona posed and looked serenely.
"Praying, prayer, meditate?" McGonagall's perplexed look showed that
she was having a hard time.
"That's right!" Hermione said. "We must brave this challenge together
with them. Without our help, we'll never get rid of this disaster." she
looked up at the ceiling and said to herself 'I'll help get rid of this evil'
"Hmm....yes, I think that's it. Everyone! Our schoolmates need your
help. And the only way to help is to remove all trace of fear as you join
them in the battle." Dumbledore said aloud.
"Right!" Neville said rather bravely. "Its my turn to help them." he
took out his wand and chanted the protection charm with confidence he learned
from Umi."GLOBUS ARA!"
"Hikaru, Umi, Fuu, you can do it!" Ron said waving his hand.
'What on earth are they doing? And who would like to help a bunch of
Gryffindor students?' Draco was saying to himself.
One by one different Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students
were ridding of their fear and was fighting together with their schoolmates.
=Battle=
Rayearth appeared floating above holding his sword representing the
light of the world."It is time to end you evil ways." the three girls' voices
said altogether.Swords of opposite matter collided as both dark and light
sparks appeared from both swords.
Devonaire attacked and attacked."I WILL NOT LET YOU! THIS WORLD SHALL
BE MINE!"
Rayearth just dogded her attacks which were almost too close.
Devonaire got her chance, not it's Rayearth's turn. He plunged his light
sword in the middle of her body. He body got wounded but the sword won't go
through. "We need more power." Rayeath's eyes flashed and blinked.
=Castle=
The Slytherins were the only house who were not supporting Hikaru,
Umi and Fuu. They only watched and watched. Malfoy still did not think of
helping them as he looked above on the ceiling, then a cold hand surprised
him. It was Snape, he knew Draco like himself, hate so much the Gryffindor
House. But this is now a perilous situation, Professor Snape looked at
Malfoy eye to eye, not intending to scare his favorite student.
"Draco." Snape paused.He hated to admit it "The Gryffindors are not our
enemies, but our opponents. They, like us, belong to only one school,
understand. Without the Gryffindors, there is no competition between you."
the professor made his point and joined the other professors praying for the
Knights.
Somehow, Snape's stiff but firm words made a point as it gave an
impact on his brain. It gave him another perspective from the thought. He
looked up."Leave this place forever! I want you out!" Draco shouted angrily.
Crabbe and Goyle, the followers of Malfoy joined also. Soon, the
whole Slytherin population as well as other houses joined the fight.
=Battle=
Rayearth was now pushing with all his might, the sword was moving as
it went through Devonaire's now frantically moving body."NOOO!! CURSE YOU
WRETCHED MAGIC KNIGHTS!" Devonaire broke up into dust and was blown away by
the wind.
Rayearth stayed in his postition, not moving like suspened animation.
Slowly, the dark clouds parted revealing the morning rays of light. It was
beautiful. He separated into the three Legendary Mashin, still in the same
position, holding unto their powerful swords. Then, their image slowly
disappeared. Three tiny stars from the Mashin's hearts slowly descended,
laying gently the three unconscious bodies that belonged to Hikaru, Umi and
Fuu on the castle grounds.

Hikaru, Umi and Fuu separated as they jumped away from the different
lightning bolts sent toward them by Lady Devonaire. They could no longer
near her because the black shield was now surrounding and protecting the
Queen of Darkness. They had no other choice but to call upon their powerful
Legendary Mashins.The three Knights slowly drew out their swords as they
continuously dodged and dogded.
=Great Hall=
Everyone was already watching with awe. They didn't knew that their
classmates could do that. Someone unexpected also appeared. It was Mokona,and
he hopped beside the Headmaster, also watching the scene.
=Battle=
Their swords were now gripped tightly between the three Knight's
hands. They raised it into the air although they were very far apart from
each other."WE CALL UPON THEE THE POWERS OF THE MASHIN!" they chorused
seriously.
"LEXXUS!" Hikaru shouted.
"CELES!" Umi ordered.
"WINDAM!" Fuu asked.
Then from afar, the dark clouds parted slightly and down, down came
three large robotic-like giants. One was clad all in red with a right arm
shaped like a shield with a hand hand jutting from the end and flaming cape.
The second was all clad in blue with head, wings and a tail much like a
dragon's, but only larger.The third one was all clad in green with the head
and wings like a Phoenix and leather-like feathers aligned neatly at its
shoulders. All three Mashins kneeled in front of the Knights whose swords are
still raised. Then a white light engulfed each Knight showing a
transformation of clothing, a little like the Mashin kneeling before them.
"Magic Knights, don us once more so that this world will be cleansed
of the dark shadows that were remnants of Past Cephiro." Lexxus's red eyes
gleamed.
"To recreate the peace that was to be forever on this planet."
Celes added, raising its enormous wings.
"And to heal those who were damaged, not only physically but also
their will." Windam continued as a green light came from its centermost orb,
its heart.It pulled her quickly before you could say anything. Umi and Hikaru
were already inside as they prepared themselves.
"Its good to see you all healthy an fine."Hikaru said as the three
Mashins stood upright.
"We will always be in your hearts, wherever you go.You only need to
call us." The Mashins gleamed.
"It's time we end this battle!" Umi drew out her large sword."Prepare
to fight us Devonaire!"
"THAT I AM." She raised her hand and concentrated her energy and
formed it into a large creepy-looking sword.
"Let's go!" Hikaru said as all three attacked using their enormous
swords but Devonaire intercepted all three, locking the three swords.
"THIS IS ALL TOO EASY." Devonaire said as she forcefully pushed them
backwards at an alarming speed-and towards the castle.
Hikaru used her legs to stop from directly hitting the castle. Umi
took her rapier and plunged it into the ground while Fuu took flight. They
nearly shook the castle as small stones crumbled to the ground.
=Castle=
"EEeeekkk!!" All the students panicked running at every direction.
What the knights thought was a close shave caused a small earthquake. All
the other professors just sealed the doors and windows tightly to prevent
the students from going back to their rooms.
"Silence!" Dumbledore raised bot of his hands. "There is no need to
panic. I advise all to look back at the ceiling and support our brave
schoolmates."
"Puu!! Pupuu!!" Mokona squealed.
=Battle=
"Is she really that strong?" Fuu looked down at the enemy from the
sky.
"I think its just that we're still a bit rusty." Umi said.
"If we have beaten her before, we can beat her again. And thats the
final line. No one must have doubts of their ability, we are all in this
together!" Hikaru stood up and stretched her arms. "Red Lightning!"
"Blue Tornado!"
"Green Hurricane!"
Devonaire shielded herself and their combined powers went thud, still
trying to outdo the Queen of Darkness. All three Knights held out their arms
tightly, letting out more power from their combination attack. Devonaire just
kept pushing on the opposite direction, though it seemed that she is now
having a hard time trying. Then the attack stopped. The three were now very
tired, including Devonaire. "CURSE YOU!"
As a last resort, Hikaru, Umi and Fuu resolved to use the last of
their powers, calling upon the mighty Rayearth Mashin. But before they did,
Hikaru said "Please pray for us!".
=Castle=
The only one who heard this was Mokona. He immediately bounced around
the Headmaster trying to get his attention with the most concerned face.
"What is it?" Dumbledore looked at it as it stopped hopping.
"Puupupupuu!! pupupupuuuuupuu!"He tried to explain, but no one
understood.
"Do you want us to do something?" Professor McGonagall understood his
body movements.
"Puu!" Mokona posed and looked serenely.
"Praying, prayer, meditate?" McGonagall's perplexed look showed that
she was having a hard time.
"That's right!" Hermione said. "We must brave this challenge together
with them. Without our help, we'll never get rid of this disaster." she
looked up at the ceiling and said to herself 'I'll help get rid of this evil'
"Hmm....yes, I think that's it. Everyone! Our schoolmates need your
help. And the only way to help is to remove all trace of fear as you join
them in the battle." Dumbledore said aloud.
"Right!" Neville said rather bravely. "Its my turn to help them." he
took out his wand and chanted the protection charm with confidence he learned
from Umi."GLOBUS ARA!"
"Hikaru, Umi, Fuu, you can do it!" Ron said waving his hand.
'What on earth are they doing? And who would like to help a bunch of
Gryffindor students?' Draco was saying to himself.
One by one different Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students
were ridding of their fear and was fighting together with their schoolmates.
=Battle=
Rayearth appeared floating above holding his sword representing the
light of the world."It is time to end you evil ways." the three girls' voices
said altogether.Swords of opposite matter collided as both dark and light
sparks appeared from both swords.
Devonaire attacked and attacked."I WILL NOT LET YOU! THIS WORLD SHALL
BE MINE!"
Rayearth just dogded her attacks which were almost too close.
Devonaire got her chance, not it's Rayearth's turn. He plunged his light
sword in the middle of her body. He body got wounded but the sword won't go
through. "We need more power." Rayeath's eyes flashed and blinked.
=Castle=
The Slytherins were the only house who were not supporting Hikaru,
Umi and Fuu. They only watched and watched. Malfoy still did not think of
helping them as he looked above on the ceiling, then a cold hand surprised
him. It was Snape, he knew Draco like himself, hate so much the Gryffindor
House. But this is now a perilous situation, Professor Snape looked at
Malfoy eye to eye, not intending to scare his favorite student.
"Draco." Snape paused.He hated to admit it "The Gryffindors are not our
enemies, but our opponents. They, like us, belong to only one school,
understand. Without the Gryffindors, there is no competition between you."
the professor made his point and joined the other professors praying for the
Knights.
Somehow, Snape's stiff but firm words made a point as it gave an
impact on his brain. It gave him another perspective from the thought. He
looked up."Leave this place forever! I want you out!" Draco shouted angrily.
Crabbe and Goyle, the followers of Malfoy joined also. Soon, the
whole Slytherin population as well as other houses joined the fight.
=Battle=
Rayearth was now pushing with all his might, the sword was moving as
it went through Devonaire's now frantically moving body."NOOO!! CURSE YOU
WRETCHED MAGIC KNIGHTS!" Devonaire broke up into dust and was blown away by
the wind.
Rayearth stayed in his postition, not moving like suspened animation.
Slowly, the dark clouds parted revealing the morning rays of light. It was
beautiful. He separated into the three Legendary Mashin, still in the same
position, holding unto their powerful swords. Then, their image slowly
disappeared. Three tiny stars from the Mashin's hearts slowly descended,
laying gently the three unconscious bodies that belonged to Hikaru, Umi and
Fuu on the castle grounds.
