Hello! All chapters from now on will be in Author's POV. Sorry about Sunshadow. I ended up changing the story so it would be longer in the long run.
Please, if you will be so kind, remember the three R's. REVIEW, REVIEW, and REVIEW!
New falcons ahead!
Moonsorrow: Seto's. Is navy blue with silver eyes.
Earthdancer: Tristan's. Is tan all over, except his eyes, which are sky blue.

Knights of the High Council: Chapter Five-Two New Knights
*********************************************************************************
"How can this be... How can he have forgotten..." Sakura whispered, stepping back a few paces. Her eyes held despair, rejection, and disbelief.
"Sakura..." Pegasus whispered, reaching for her. Her eyes held pity for Sakura.
"No... No... NO!" Sakura yelled, turning around and running before Pegasus could stop her. As she was leaving the shop, everyone heard her sob, "This can not be..."
"Oh, Moon... Why is it you have to suffer so much?" Pegasus said, pity evident in her voice. Tristan came up and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
"You alright?" Tristan asked quietly, love and warmth in his voice. He could practically feel the sorrow coming from her.
Pegasus sighed, "I am. But she isn't. We have to find her. In the state she's in, she can get seriously hurt out there."
Tristan pulled her towards the door, "Then we'll go find her." They left the shop, running in the direction Sakura supposedly went.
"She was only trying to help. Let's all go after her." Joey suggested. He understood what it was like to be unwanted, which was obviously the case.
Tea nodded, just as Yami came out of his shocked state. Yami stood up slowly. "After all these years, I've seen my little sister again. It's been so long, ten years in fact..." he said quietly.
"TEN YEARS!" everyone but Grandpa yelled in surprise. He looked unsurprised, but disappointed.
"Why didn't you ever contact her if you knew where she was? Didn't she ever write to you?" Joey demanded to know. He was a millimeter close to smacking Yami upside the head.
Yami nodded, "Yes, several times. I never answered them though. I was too afraid after I realized how badly I had treated her." With that, Joey and Seto both smacked him upside the head.
"Smooth move, exlax." Seto told him, knowing how precious a younger sibling is. If anything ever happened to Mokuba, he didn't know what he'd do.
Yami glared at them, "The past is behind us. What's important now is to find her. When she let's that mask of hers down, she's incredible vulnerable. Who knows what could happen to her. Tea and me will go the opposite way Tristan and Pegasus went. Joey, Mai, you stay here with Grandpa in case she comes back. Seto, why don't you check the park?"
"Yami, shouldn't Mai and I go check the park?" Joey asked, doubt in his voice.
Yami shook his head, "No, Seto needs to go to the park, no question." 'Only he can find Sakura, only he can cure her pain.' Yami thought as he, Tea, and Seto left.
*************************************In the Park********************************
'There she is!' Seto thought, spotting her sitting by the river. Her slippers were beside her, her feet in the water. A single tear slide down her left cheek as she started to sing:
Sound the bugle now - play it just for me
As the seasons change - remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing left - just an empty heart
I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
Or leave me lying here
Sound the bugle now - tell them I don't care
There's not a road I know - that leads to anywhere
Without light I fear that I will - stumble in the dark
Lay right down - decide not to go on
Raising her head, she looked into the water, determination on her face and in her eyes.
Then form on high - somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls - remember who you are
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow
So be strong tonight - remember who you are
She closed her eyes, opening them two lines later, determination echoing through their depths.
Ya you're now - fighting in a battle
To be free once more...
Ya that's worth fighting for. (I do not own this song.)
As she slipped her slippers on, she started a new song
I hear the wind call your name
It calls me back home again
It sparks up a fire - a flame that still burns
Oh it's to you I will always return
Another tear fell down her cheek again as she continued
I still feel your breath on my skin
I hear your voice deep within
The sound of my lover - a feeling so strong
It's to you - I'll always belong
Now I know it's true
My every road leads to you
And in the hour of darkness darling'
Your light gets me through
Wanna swim in your river - be warmed by your sun
Bathe in your waters - cuz you are the one
I can't stand the distance - I can't dream alone
I can't wait to see - yes I'm my way home
Oh I hear the wind call your name
The sound that leads me home again
It sparks up a fire - a flame that still burns
Oh it's to you - I will always return
Wanna swim in your river - be warmed by your sun
Bathe in your waters - cuz you are the one
Oh I can't the distance - I can't dream alone
Oh I can't wait to see you - yes I'm on my way home
Oh I hear the wind call your name
The sound that leads me home again
It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns
Ya I'm my way
I will always return
Yes I will always return
Oh I've seen every sunset - and with all that I've learned
Ya it's to you I will always - always return (Don't own this one either)
Stepping towards her, Seto accidentally stepped on a twig that snapped under his foot.
Turning, she grabbed her locket and cried out:
"Oh Key of the Moon
With powers burning bright
Reveal the Sword
And shine your light
RELEASE!"
He gasped as he watched her transform. Her clothes disappeared. Her locket glowed burning white. Silver ribbons wrapped around her chest, forming an off the shoulder top. More ribbons wrapped around her legs, forming a pair of pants (A.N. Like Princess Jasmine's in Aladdin. Pegasus's is the same as Princess Jasmine's with sleeves). A hard wind came and spun her around. Slippers formed around her feet, a cape and hood as well (A.N. Same as Pegasus's) She raised her arms In the same position she had her arms in right before she took out Yami's contacts.
The light finally faded away, revealing her. Her sleeves/straps were navy blue, the borders of her bust line and pants as well. The rest was silver. The top part of the hood was silver, the bottom navy blue. The underlining of the cape was blue, the outer silver. Her slippers were the same silver. A scarf hid her face. He could barely make out a sword strapped to her waist. It's hilt was silver, the sheath (A.N. Am I using the right word? If not, tell me the right word in a review.) navy blue.
After that thought, the last thing he remembered was a knife catching the extra material on his shoulder. The next thing he knew, he was pinned to a tree, a knife's blade barely missing his shoulder. The knife was buried into the tree all the way to the hilt. It wouldn't be coming out for a while.
"Seto! Why in the name of Isis did you get pinned? I was aiming for the blue org that was sneaking up on me..." Sakura, in her weird Arabian Knight costume, asked as she approached.
"First off, that was me. Second, what's an org? And third, can you unpin me?" Seto asked, failing to free himself.
"First answer: Sorry, thought you were an actually smart org. Second answer: An org is a monster that vaguely resembles a man, only is ten times as ugly as the ugliest bug, and comes in different colors. And answer number three: Sure. Just hold still." Sakura answered, coming closer to examine the knife. He could barely fell her breath against his cheek as she looked closely at wear the knife and tree kept him stuck.
She whistled lightly, "You are a very lucky guy. One millimeter closer and you would be in a lot of pain. Sorry, but the only way to get you loose is to tear your jacket." With that said, she carefully started pulled pushed him down, tearing him free.
"Hey!" he cried out looking at his shoulder. The rip was five inches long at minimum. He then noticed a small stain coming through. Looks like she had cut him, lightly hopefully.
"Like I said, it would have been worse if I had thrown the knife better." He jumped when he heard her whisper in his ear. She was kneeling down in front of him, looking at him, almost looking like she was waiting for him to do something.
Then it hit him. Pain. More pain then he had ever felt in his life. He cried out, leaning against the tree as he closed his eyes. He felt something brush his cut. Opening his eyes, he saw Sakura spreading something orange on his cut. It made the pain worse. He closed his eyes again.
Suddenly, it stopped. As quickly as the pain came, it disappeared. He opened his eyes again, seeing Sakura put a crystal stopper on a crystal bottle. Inside it was what looked like some kind of orange water. But the orange... stuff she had put on his shoulder had been like a cream...
"You're fine now. Your shoulder will be a little stiff, but that's the only side effect. Now, come on. The more you move, the quicker the stiffness will fade away." With that said, she stood up. He scrambled up soon after her.
Grabbing her knife, she gave a small yank. It didn't budge. As she grabbed it with both hands, he heard her mutter, "How do I get myself into these situations?" before bracing her feet on the trunk of the tree. She then leaned back, straightening her arms and pulling with her weight.
The knife slowly started moving. She stopped, then raised her feet higher on the tree, to get more leverage. The minute she started pulling the knife flew out of the tree, still it her hands. She somersaulted before she could help herself.
When she finally stopped, her chest was on the ground, the rest curving above her, supported by her legs. The knife had somehow disappeared into thin air. She sighed before placing her hands on the ground and pushing. She straightened her body out first, feet pointed straight up into the air. Then she bent her elbows, before pushing down hard and launching herself into the air. When she landed, she landed in a crouched position before standing up. Her scarf had fallen from her face in the process.
Seto gapped at her for about five seconds before something took over him. He felt himself moving towards her. She was currently mumbling under her breath. He saw himself cup her cheek, and heard her gasp and close her eyes. Her skin felt softer then silk.
Sakura reveled in the feeling of his skin. It was very soft and rough at the same time. She leaned into his hand, and looked up at him with love in her eyes, a loving smile on her face. His eyes echoed the same emotion.
The volume of love her eyes showed, her smile warming him inside somehow shocked him inside. He found himself leaning his forehead against hers. He heard himself say "My silver angel." And her whisper "My midnight wolf." Before he pressed his lips to hers.
Sakura was shocked when he kissed her. His lips were soft and warm, barely pressing against her own. She loved the very feel of them.
As Seto pulled away, he felt himself return to normal. Almost. A warm feeling was inside his heart, a similar one was the one he had for Mokuba. But this was different somehow. Similar, but different. He realized this was love. True love.
"I love you, my silver angel." He told her, now aware why she had been hurt when he moved away.
"And I you, my midnight wolf." She answered quietly, her beautiful eyes silver streaked aqua eyes filled with love and serenity. They were shaken from their state by a glowing light. It was navy blue, with a silverish hue to it.
Sakura smiled before making a motion with her hand. The knife reappeared in her hand. It was glowing the silverish blue. It was now pulsing as well. He realized it was pulsing with the beat of both their hearts.
A screech got his attention. Sakura held her hand up in the air as a blue streak flew towards her. After it landed on her hand, it was revealed to be a falcon. But it, or he as Seto realized, was odd looking. He was navy blue with silver eyes.
The silver falcon flew to Sakura from a tree where she had been resting. She then, to Seto's surprise, began talking, "Before you ask Moon, his riddle is 'The blue moon's sorrow rests with the midnight wolf.' His name is Moonsorrow. Any ideas on who he belongs to? I'm clueless, as usual, when it comes to these riddles.''
"I've known for a long time." Sakura said, looking Moonsorrow in the eyes. The falcon took off and landed on Seto's right shoulder.
"Look inside yourself Seto. Do not be afraid. No harm shall come to you." Sakura told him, wisdom and love echoing in her eyes.
He nodded before closing his eyes. He saw a navy blue light. It engulfed him. He opened his eyes to see Sakura smiling at him. The next thing he knew he felt memories flood him. He had been a member of Prince Yami's court. He was the adviser. He had fallen in love with the prince's sister, Princess Sakura. She had been afraid of her feelings and had avoided him. All of them, her court, her, Yami, and his court had been elven sorcerers and sorceresses. He had died along with Yami, the rest of his court and Sakura's court. Only he died in Sakura's arms. He had told her he loved her right before he died.
Then he remembered the falcons. They were magic falcons, given to them by Yami's and Sakura's grandfather.
"Hello Moonsorrow. It's been a long time, old friend," said Seto, stroking the falcon under the chin.
The falcon nodded, "So it has, Moon Guardian, so it has."
Sakura gave him the Moon Dagger, which had been the knife she'd thrown, and a locket, which was a navy blue crescent moon with a silver teardrop in the center. "So you can transform."
He shook his head, "No. You take the locket and I'll give you my dagger." He made a motion with his hand and a dagger appeared. It's hilt was silver, the sheath navy blue.
Smiling, she placed his locket around her neck and took of her own. She walked behind him and placed it around his neck.
"I chose thou as my partner, in the name of thy god Chons and my goddess Isis. We are of blood, thee and I." She chanted, a silver light coming from the locket around his neck, a navy blue from the one around hers.
When the light faded, he had transformed. The upper part of his hood was navy blue, as was the outer lining of his cape, the lower silver as well as the inner lining. The scarf around his mouth was navy blue. His shirt's collar, sleeves, and hem were silver, the cuffs and main part navy blue. The waistband and cuffs of his pants were silver, the main part navy blue. His swords sheath was navy blue, it's hilt silver. (A.N. Think Moonlight Knight with color.)
He and Moon exchanged daggers. The Moon Dagger was as he remembered it when she had created it. It had a silver sheath; the hilt was a vibrant navy blue. It was in perfect shape.
Sakura turned, facing towards the other side of the park. "Orgs. I can smell and hear them. They... OH NO! They've found Sky!" she cried out in alarm. She grabbed his hand and started to run. The falcons flew from their shoulders and landed in a tree together.
"Do you remember your training?" she asked as she let go of his hand so she could run better. She was also praying he would remember. Every man was trained in fencing and in hand-to-hand combat.
"Crystal clearly. What about Sky though? She was never trained. Only Mai and Tea were." Moon Guardian asked as they continued running. Mai had been trained so she would be a fit bodyguard and Tea was a guardd his arms around her wa's daughter. She had been trained by her father so she could defend herself.
She jumped over a large rock that was in her way, "She knows the basics. But she won't last long if we don't help." She said as she picked up her speed.
Moon Guardian glanced at her, "You weren't trained either. Will you be all right?" he asked as the approached the battle area.
As they stopped and waited to attack, she answered, "I've been fighting orgs for three years. I'll be fine."
Moon stood up, him soon after. "Hold it right there!" she called down to the battling orgs. Sky was gasping for breath; Tristan was hiding behind a rock.
"How dare you try and hurt my friends!'' she continued as they stared at her dumbly.
"Haven't you ever heard of fair play?" Moon Guardian threw in.
Together, the jumped down and landed right in the middle of the pack of twelve. "I am Moon!" Moon cried out. "And I am Moon Guardian!" Moon Guardian followed, before together they said, "We stand for Justice and Despair. And in the name of the Moon God and Goddess, we shall vanquish you!"
Sky yelled at them as she ran to the rock where Tristan was, "Thanks guys! I'll check on Tristan!"
Moon was quick and powerful. She'd pretend to give up, then swing her sword in a circle, killing four orgs at once. Moon Guardian however slashed them to pieces as they approached him. Finally, they were down to the last two.
"You take the yellow org. I'll take the red." Moon told him. He nodded once at her before running at the mustard yellow org in front of him. He slashed it in half. It fell into a big puddle of orange goo. As he turned to where Moon was, he saw her jump on to the org's shoulders before jumping up into the air.
When she came back down, orange goo was falling right above her. She slashed the org on the ground in half before getting out of the way. The orange goo falling stopped. It, along with the rest of the goo, started glowing white. When the light faded away, the goo went with it.
"Well, that was interesting." Tristan commented sarcastically as he and Pegasus, who had just detransformed, approached the two.
"What was?" Moon asked absent-mindedly, her eyes fixed on the sky.
Tristan's eyes flashed in anger. "Oh, I don't know. Let's see! My girlfriend is some kind of Arabian Knight, her falcon can talk, and we just got saved by more knights!"
Mumbling, Moon answered, "Point Number One: We're Egyptian, not Arabian. Point Number Two: You're Pegasus's partner so you can't talk. And Point Number Three: I am Sakura and Moon Guardian is Seto." With that she whistled. A tan falcon flew from a tree to her shoulder. It was a male, and his eyes were a piercing sky blue. Around his neck was a locket. It was in the shape of a sky blue pegasus. The pegasus's wings were tan.
"Moontear!" Sakura called out. Moontear immediately flew to the tree the tan falcon had just left. Moonsorrow was right behind her. "Name and riddle please?"
"Earthdancer. 'The dancers dance together on earth and air.' Now if you'll excuse me." With that, she and Moonsorrow took of again.
"Pegasus, do you love Tristan? And Tristan, do you love Pegasus?" Moon suddenly asked out of nowhere.
Blushing, both nodded. A sky bluish tan light appeared. With it came the Sky Dagger.
Moon looked at the couple, "Pegasus, please remove your locket. Tristan, please come a little closer to me." Both did as they were told. When Tristan approached, Earthdancer flew to his shoulder.
Placing her hands over Seto's, now hers, locket. She whispered "Power down." Before a light engulfed her and Seto. When it faded, they were back to normal.
"Now Tristan, please look into your heart and find the light. Don not fear." Sakura advised wisely.
Tristan did as he was told, closing his eyes. When he opened them again, he was flooded by memories. (A.N. His was the same as every one else's only with tan light. Similar memories to Seto. Need I describe them again?)
Smiling, Sakura continued, "Now the locket from Earthdancer's neck. Pegasus, take the locket and wear it instead. Then place your own around his neck."
Pegasus placed her new locket around her neck and walked around Tristan. She latched the chain together. By instinct, she chanted as a tan and a sky blue light filled the room, "I chose thou as my partner, in the name as thy god Geb and my god Horus. We are of blood, thee and I."
A light enveloped them both. As it faded, Tristan had transformed. Pegasus suddenly had memories flooding back to her. She then looked closer at Tristan's costume. It looked like Seto's only tan instead of navy blue and sky blue instead of silver.
"Hello Earth, Sky, Moon, Moon Guardian, and Skydancer. It has been a long time." Earthdancer said as he flew over to the tree Skydancer was perching in. "Yet I notice we are not all here. Where are Sun, Sun Guardian, Death, Death Guardian, Sunshadow, Sunshine, Venom, Moontear, Moonsorrow, and Toxic?"
Sakura answered, "Moontear are searching for Sun, Sun Guardian, Death, and Death Guardian. Moonsorrow has gone to get Sunshadow. The others have not shown themselves."
"MOON! MOON GUARDIAN!" "SKY! EARTH!" "WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!"
Sakura cried out, "Moontear, Moonsorrow, Sunshadow! We're over here!"
The three falcons flew to then and perched next to Earthdancer and Skydancer.
"Sakura? That you?" Joey asked as he and the others stepped into the clearing. Sakura mentally noted Tristan had detransformed.
"Whoa! Tristan, Seto, what happened to you two?" Joey asked in alarm, ignoring Sakura's silent warning.
Seto however noticed. "What do you mean Joey?"
He snorted, "I mean you have navy blue streaked hair and Tristan has tan streaked. Also, your eyes are streaked to, same colors. Boy do you two look weird..."
Sakura muttered under her breath, "You all will soon be joining them..."
Mai however heard, "What was that?"
Sakura sighed before looking up at the moon and saying, "How do I get myself into these situations..."
That's it for now! Longest chapter yet! Please review people!
Please, if you will be so kind, remember the three R's. REVIEW, REVIEW, and REVIEW!
New falcons ahead!
Moonsorrow: Seto's. Is navy blue with silver eyes.
Earthdancer: Tristan's. Is tan all over, except his eyes, which are sky blue.

Seto gapped at her for about five seconds before something took over him. He felt himself moving towards her. She was currently mumbling under her breath. He saw himself cup her cheek, and heard her gasp and close her eyes. Her skin felt softer then silk.
Sakura reveled in the feeling of his skin. It was very soft and rough at the same time. She leaned into his hand, and looked up at him with love in her eyes, a loving smile on her face. His eyes echoed the same emotion.
The volume of love her eyes showed, her smile warming him inside somehow shocked him inside. He found himself leaning his forehead against hers. He heard himself say "My silver angel." And her whisper "My midnight wolf." Before he pressed his lips to hers.
Sakura was shocked when he kissed her. His lips were soft and warm, barely pressing against her own. She loved the very feel of them.
As Seto pulled away, he felt himself return to normal. Almost. A warm feeling was inside his heart, a similar one was the one he had for Mokuba. But this was different somehow. Similar, but different. He realized this was love. True love.
"I love you, my silver angel." He told her, now aware why she had been hurt when he moved away.
"And I you, my midnight wolf." She answered quietly, her beautiful eyes silver streaked aqua eyes filled with love and serenity. They were shaken from their state by a glowing light. It was navy blue, with a silverish hue to it.
Sakura smiled before making a motion with her hand. The knife reappeared in her hand. It was glowing the silverish blue. It was now pulsing as well. He realized it was pulsing with the beat of both their hearts.
A screech got his attention. Sakura held her hand up in the air as a blue streak flew towards her. After it landed on her hand, it was revealed to be a falcon. But it, or he as Seto realized, was odd looking. He was navy blue with silver eyes.
The silver falcon flew to Sakura from a tree where she had been resting. She then, to Seto's surprise, began talking, "Before you ask Moon, his riddle is 'The blue moon's sorrow rests with the midnight wolf.' His name is Moonsorrow. Any ideas on who he belongs to? I'm clueless, as usual, when it comes to these riddles.''
"I've known for a long time." Sakura said, looking Moonsorrow in the eyes. The falcon took off and landed on Seto's right shoulder.
"Look inside yourself Seto. Do not be afraid. No harm shall come to you." Sakura told him, wisdom and love echoing in her eyes.
He nodded before closing his eyes. He saw a navy blue light. It engulfed him. He opened his eyes to see Sakura smiling at him. The next thing he knew he felt memories flood him. He had been a member of Prince Yami's court. He was the adviser. He had fallen in love with the prince's sister, Princess Sakura. She had been afraid of her feelings and had avoided him. All of them, her court, her, Yami, and his court had been elven sorcerers and sorceresses. He had died along with Yami, the rest of his court and Sakura's court. Only he died in Sakura's arms. He had told her he loved her right before he died.
Then he remembered the falcons. They were magic falcons, given to them by Yami's and Sakura's grandfather.
"Hello Moonsorrow. It's been a long time, old friend," said Seto, stroking the falcon under the chin.
The falcon nodded, "So it has, Moon Guardian, so it has."
Sakura gave him the Moon Dagger, which had been the knife she'd thrown, and a locket, which was a navy blue crescent moon with a silver teardrop in the center. "So you can transform."
He shook his head, "No. You take the locket and I'll give you my dagger." He made a motion with his hand and a dagger appeared. It's hilt was silver, the sheath navy blue.
Smiling, she placed his locket around her neck and took of her own. She walked behind him and placed it around his neck.
"I chose thou as my partner, in the name of thy god Chons and my goddess Isis. We are of blood, thee and I." She chanted, a silver light coming from the locket around his neck, a navy blue from the one around hers.
When the light faded, he had transformed. The upper part of his hood was navy blue, as was the outer lining of his cape, the lower silver as well as the inner lining. The scarf around his mouth was navy blue. His shirt's collar, sleeves, and hem were silver, the cuffs and main part navy blue. The waistband and cuffs of his pants were silver, the main part navy blue. His swords sheath was navy blue, it's hilt silver. (A.N. Think Moonlight Knight with color.)
He and Moon exchanged daggers. The Moon Dagger was as he remembered it when she had created it. It had a silver sheath; the hilt was a vibrant navy blue. It was in perfect shape.
Sakura turned, facing towards the other side of the park. "Orgs. I can smell and hear them. They... OH NO! They've found Sky!" she cried out in alarm. She grabbed his hand and started to run. The falcons flew from their shoulders and landed in a tree together.
"Do you remember your training?" she asked as she let go of his hand so she could run better. She was also praying he would remember. Every man was trained in fencing and in hand-to-hand combat.
"Crystal clearly. What about Sky though? She was never trained. Only Mai and Tea were." Moon Guardian asked as they continued running. Mai had been trained so she would be a fit bodyguard and Tea was a guardd his arms around her wa's daughter. She had been trained by her father so she could defend herself.
She jumped over a large rock that was in her way, "She knows the basics. But she won't last long if we don't help." She said as she picked up her speed.
Moon Guardian glanced at her, "You weren't trained either. Will you be all right?" he asked as the approached the battle area.
As they stopped and waited to attack, she answered, "I've been fighting orgs for three years. I'll be fine."
Moon stood up, him soon after. "Hold it right there!" she called down to the battling orgs. Sky was gasping for breath; Tristan was hiding behind a rock.
"How dare you try and hurt my friends!'' she continued as they stared at her dumbly.
"Haven't you ever heard of fair play?" Moon Guardian threw in.
Together, the jumped down and landed right in the middle of the pack of twelve. "I am Moon!" Moon cried out. "And I am Moon Guardian!" Moon Guardian followed, before together they said, "We stand for Justice and Despair. And in the name of the Moon God and Goddess, we shall vanquish you!"
Sky yelled at them as she ran to the rock where Tristan was, "Thanks guys! I'll check on Tristan!"
Moon was quick and powerful. She'd pretend to give up, then swing her sword in a circle, killing four orgs at once. Moon Guardian however slashed them to pieces as they approached him. Finally, they were down to the last two.
"You take the yellow org. I'll take the red." Moon told him. He nodded once at her before running at the mustard yellow org in front of him. He slashed it in half. It fell into a big puddle of orange goo. As he turned to where Moon was, he saw her jump on to the org's shoulders before jumping up into the air.
When she came back down, orange goo was falling right above her. She slashed the org on the ground in half before getting out of the way. The orange goo falling stopped. It, along with the rest of the goo, started glowing white. When the light faded away, the goo went with it.
"Well, that was interesting." Tristan commented sarcastically as he and Pegasus, who had just detransformed, approached the two.
"What was?" Moon asked absent-mindedly, her eyes fixed on the sky.
Tristan's eyes flashed in anger. "Oh, I don't know. Let's see! My girlfriend is some kind of Arabian Knight, her falcon can talk, and we just got saved by more knights!"
Mumbling, Moon answered, "Point Number One: We're Egyptian, not Arabian. Point Number Two: You're Pegasus's partner so you can't talk. And Point Number Three: I am Sakura and Moon Guardian is Seto." With that she whistled. A tan falcon flew from a tree to her shoulder. It was a male, and his eyes were a piercing sky blue. Around his neck was a locket. It was in the shape of a sky blue pegasus. The pegasus's wings were tan.
"Moontear!" Sakura called out. Moontear immediately flew to the tree the tan falcon had just left. Moonsorrow was right behind her. "Name and riddle please?"
"Earthdancer. 'The dancers dance together on earth and air.' Now if you'll excuse me." With that, she and Moonsorrow took of again.
"Pegasus, do you love Tristan? And Tristan, do you love Pegasus?" Moon suddenly asked out of nowhere.
Blushing, both nodded. A sky bluish tan light appeared. With it came the Sky Dagger.
Moon looked at the couple, "Pegasus, please remove your locket. Tristan, please come a little closer to me." Both did as they were told. When Tristan approached, Earthdancer flew to his shoulder.
Placing her hands over Seto's, now hers, locket. She whispered "Power down." Before a light engulfed her and Seto. When it faded, they were back to normal.
"Now Tristan, please look into your heart and find the light. Don not fear." Sakura advised wisely.
Tristan did as he was told, closing his eyes. When he opened them again, he was flooded by memories. (A.N. His was the same as every one else's only with tan light. Similar memories to Seto. Need I describe them again?)
Smiling, Sakura continued, "Now the locket from Earthdancer's neck. Pegasus, take the locket and wear it instead. Then place your own around his neck."
Pegasus placed her new locket around her neck and walked around Tristan. She latched the chain together. By instinct, she chanted as a tan and a sky blue light filled the room, "I chose thou as my partner, in the name as thy god Geb and my god Horus. We are of blood, thee and I."
A light enveloped them both. As it faded, Tristan had transformed. Pegasus suddenly had memories flooding back to her. She then looked closer at Tristan's costume. It looked like Seto's only tan instead of navy blue and sky blue instead of silver.
"Hello Earth, Sky, Moon, Moon Guardian, and Skydancer. It has been a long time." Earthdancer said as he flew over to the tree Skydancer was perching in. "Yet I notice we are not all here. Where are Sun, Sun Guardian, Death, Death Guardian, Sunshadow, Sunshine, Venom, Moontear, Moonsorrow, and Toxic?"
Sakura answered, "Moontear are searching for Sun, Sun Guardian, Death, and Death Guardian. Moonsorrow has gone to get Sunshadow. The others have not shown themselves."
"MOON! MOON GUARDIAN!" "SKY! EARTH!" "WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!"
Sakura cried out, "Moontear, Moonsorrow, Sunshadow! We're over here!"
The three falcons flew to then and perched next to Earthdancer and Skydancer.
"Sakura? That you?" Joey asked as he and the others stepped into the clearing. Sakura mentally noted Tristan had detransformed.
"Whoa! Tristan, Seto, what happened to you two?" Joey asked in alarm, ignoring Sakura's silent warning.
Seto however noticed. "What do you mean Joey?"
He snorted, "I mean you have navy blue streaked hair and Tristan has tan streaked. Also, your eyes are streaked to, same colors. Boy do you two look weird..."
Sakura muttered under her breath, "You all will soon be joining them..."
Mai however heard, "What was that?"
Sakura sighed before looking up at the moon and saying, "How do I get myself into these situations..."
