The next day at school, Hikaru is sitting at a picnic table as usual
when something odd happens, Fuu, a blonde brainiac, comes running toward
her.
"Hikaru!" Hikaru turns and stares in amazement. Then she smiles and
greets Fuu.
"Hi Fuu, you never... wait a minute, you don't go here, why are you
here?" Hikaru questions.
"Well, I
came to tell
you that
something
terrible is
happening
right now."
"What? Something terrible? Is Umi alright?"
"Yes, Umi is fine. I mean terrible things are happening around Tokyo.
Things that I only recognize because I've been to Cephiro."
"What? What does Cephiro have to do with what's happening. Fuu,
what's going on?!"
"Well, last night a janitor at the Tokyo Tower was cleaning the floor
when all of a sudden he was attacked by a, well, reports say that it was a
giant moth. When they showed a picture of, a glimpse of what it was, it
looked like something out of, out of Cephiro."
"WHAT?!?!?!?! That's impossible, there isn't anyway back to Cephiro,
I should know."
"Yes, but you don't understand. We aren't spell casters like Clef or
anything, we are just magic knights. We couldn't open a portal between the
two worlds, but I think that someone, with enough power, could possibly
create a portal of some sort."
"No, that isn't possible! I've wanted to go back since we got back.
All of us tried to, but it was impossible! Now you're saying that we just
aren't powerful enough? That we are just..." but she never finished for in
that second she fainted.
"Hikaru? HIKARU! What the hell? Oh my god! Help me someone, Hikaru
just fainted!" A swarm of kids came over and helped Fuu to take Hikaru to
the nurse.
You feel nothing, that fire that burns is a candle that will burn out young Magic Knight. Your fire shall fail, for I've found a way to destroy what you desire.
Hikaru finds herself in a black room. She can't see anything but she can feel a lot of emotions rushing her. She is sad, and then happy, she feels love and then hate. She is confused and starts to cry. "What is this place? Why would such a place exist." "Young Magic Knight," says a high, chilling voice, "you are alone and shall remain alone. No one can revive you. "What do you mean? I was talking to Fuu, and then I was here. Who are you? What do you want?" "I want you to feel pain. Pain for all the suffering you caused my love Zagato!" "What? What are you talking about? The last person who said that, who said that was, Princess Emurade? It can't be! We, we killed you in Cephiro!" "Young and asinine girl. I am not Emurade. My name does not concern you, in fact, nothing concerns you. You are nothing, worthless, and that is why you are here. This is Despair. If you are here, then you know you have nothing in life." "Sorry, but I don't buy that for a minute. I have plenty of things in life, and even if I don't I'm under the illusion that I do, so it is impossible for me to end up in Despair! You're a liar! Tell me who you are now or I'll use force." "Fool, you couldn't fight me! Your power lies in Cephiro. Only in Cephiro could you beat me, but now you are not in Cephiro, and therefore alone!" "No! I'm not ALONE!" A blinding red light brightens the room. In the center stands the only women other then Emurade who would admit her love for Zagato. Alcione. "Alcione? But, we defeated you! How, why?" "Yes, it is true that you defeated me, but you forget that in Cephiro the will is the strongest magic, and I didn't have the will to die. I lived only for Zagato, but then he sent me away. My mind became a chaotic scheme and all I could think about was how you Magic Knights caused me to lose my love!" "No! He never loved you! He was in love with the Princess!" "Yes, that foolish Princess who thought that she was saving Cephiro by granting them a new Pillar. She was wrong, because the Pillar of Cephiro must be someone willing to devote their live to Cephiro. Well, guess what? I didn't want my life, so the power of Cephiro choose me by mistake. That's right, I'm the Pillar now! And it's all thanks to you, the Magic Knights!" "No, this can't be right! Where am I, I've got to get out of here! You can't reach me in my world because you're bluffing! Why would Cephiro choose you? "If I'm not the Pillar, then how come I can open portals between worlds?" "It was you who, the Tokyo Tower, how could you? People could've been hurt!" "Well, if you don't like it then why don't you stop me?" "Fine," Hikaru gets in her battle stance, "I will!" She charges Alcione but instead runs into Alcione's force field. "How?" "HA HA HA HA HA!" Alcione screams as Hikaru starts to fade. "Wait, what are you doing you impudent Knight?" "I don't know, but it looks like you're beat for now!" "You may have one this one, but this is merely a reflection of myself. Soon you and the others will die!" Before Hikaru can answer, she wakes up in the hospital. "OH MY GOD! HIKARU! Are you okay?" Umi is strangling her in a hug. "Yes, but I can't breath!" Umi lets her go and sits back down. Fuu squeezes Hikaru's hand and asks her what happened. "So what happened Hikaru? One minute we're talking, then the next minute you faint." "We have a serious problem," Hikaru says, "and Fuu, you're right, it does involve Cephiro.
You feel nothing, that fire that burns is a candle that will burn out young Magic Knight. Your fire shall fail, for I've found a way to destroy what you desire.
