~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay, who will be the first?" asked Ruki.
"I will." Said Matt, taking a step towards the guardians.
"Me too." Said Mimi that went beside him.
"All right, it doesn't have difference. Only remember that Claire didn't choose us based on nothing." Said Ruki, then she looked at Jenrya, that nodded.
"That's the right thing to do." He said, and everybody became confused.
The body of the guardians became visible, and, from nothing, appeared two swords. Both curiously different from the others. Jenrya's blade was white, and I mean white; while Ruki's was dark.
"It looks like... Ying and Yang..." whispered Ken, and the others just glared at him.
"Well, that's the proof that they're really soul-mates, but let's begin this." Said Matt, and he and Mimi grabbed their swords.
Mimi was going to fight Ruki, while Matt was going to battle with Jenrya. Mimi tried to hit Ruki's chest with her sword, which she failed miserably. Every time she tried to hurt Ruki, she dodged easily. Then Ruki finally put her sword up, and hit Mimi on her leg. Mimi cried in pain, and tried to hit Ruki on her head, and Ruki, not dodging fast enough, got a scratch on her cheek. This made her veeeeeeery mad, and she put her hand up, to throw a big magic ball on Mimi's chest, making her flew some inches away.
Meanwhile, Matt wasn't lucky either. Jenrya was very fast, and he could go out of Matt's attack like he was playing with a 5-years-old. In one of Matt's attacks, when he go out of the attack, and went behind Matt to try hit him, Matt turned around quickly, and make a big scratch on Jenrya's back. As in instinct, just as he got hurt, he kicked Matt's chest, and Matt was throwing flying till he hit a tree. Jenrya put the sword inches away from Matt's face, and Ruki did the same with Mimi.
"We won." They said, at the exactly same moment. Mimi and Matt then were teletransported of where they were, to where the others were, and without a single scratch or nothing. They were surprised at this, and then looked at the guardians. Jenrya wasn't very good.
"Are you all right, Jen?" asked Ruki, her expression, from the sarcastically one was now placed by a very concerned one.
"Well, I have a big scratch on my back, but that's just a detail, I'm fine." He said sarcastically, as he was keeling on one knee. Ruki gently touched the scratch, and a bright light came from her hands. In seconds, the big scratch on Jenrya's back was gone. Everybody was amazed at the scene.
"Thanks Ruki." He said warmly, then he and Ruki turned to face the others.
"Now, who's next?" they asked.
Two by two, Davis' group went to challenge the two guardians. Tai and Sora, the next two, were defeated, one with a great pain on the shoulder, the other with an injury on the arm (One thing, Yolei is not going to battle too, Ken didn't want her to, I forgot to say it...). Ken and TK, the next, lost too, with a scratch on the chest and the other with a pain on the back. The other two, Naru and Arthur, were defeated too, but without injuries or pains (they're pretty good!). Then, was finally Davis' time to battle.
"Are you sure you want to battle us? Haven't you learn that we are too strong for you?" said Ruki, with a grin.
"I'm not giving up, if that's what you want to know. So, let's begin?" Davis replied, leaving the guardians surprised. Jenrya and Ruki grabbed their swords, and Davis grabbed his. The battle had started.
Like they said, Davis wasn't much for them. With simples movements, Davis was already tired and hurt in several parts. When he was kneeling on the ground, catching his breath, Jenrya came with his entire straight and tried to hurt Davis head, but Davis saw his shadow, and looked up, sword in hand. He blocked the attack. However, a very loud sound of something breaking was heard, and a part of Davis' sword could be seem flying, till it fell to the ground. Davis was now was weaponless.
He looked around, searching for something that could help him, and then he found it. That was the answer. He ran away from Jenrya, and dodged as Ruki tried to hit him with her sword, then with her magic, and finally he made it. He grabbed it, and put it up, and what the guardians saw make them amazed. Davis was holding The Legendary Crystal Blade, and it was glowing. Everyone watched speechless, as Davis got up, and watched the sword stopping glowing.
"What the..." he began, then saw the two guardians walking towards him, and he put on the position of defense. But the guardians kneeled on one knee in front of him, then looked up, and said:
"You're the chosen. You've been chosen to use The Legendary Crystal Blade. Not by us. Not by Claire. But by the Gods." They said in unison, then they got up, and smiled at Davis.
"What's your name?" asked Jenrya.
"It's Daisuke." He said, and the guardians were shocked.
"D... Dai... suke you say..." Ruki began, then they said:
"It's time for you, Daisuke, to awake the princess Claire. Let's go."
Davis and the other shared confused and curious look, but they followed the guardians as well. Then, they realized where the guardians were taking them. To the Sacred Palace of the Sacred Kingdom (cool, huh?).
"We're finally here, after so many days..." whispered Ken, he then took a step towards the castle, but was stopped by Jenrya, that put his hand on Ken's shoulder.
"What?" Ken asked.
"You can't go now. The only one that can go further now, is Daisuke." He said.
"Why? Do I have to pass through another kind of test?" Davis asked, and the guardians only nodded.
"Kind of." They said. The others looked at Davis, and nodded, telling him to go, if he really wanted to wake and save Claire. Davis nodded, and went towards the castle.
He opened the huge doors, and went in. Suddenly, the doors behind him closed with a bang, and Davis was kind of locked in the castle. He turned back to the door, and tried to open it, without much luck. When he turned his attention back to the castle, his jaw dropped. He wasn't in the old castle anymore. He was in a beautiful, luminous and huge castle, with the lamps on, even if was only afternoon outside. The sounds of the birds could be heard, one thing that he missed since he arrived at that land.
When he looked behind him, the door was open, and the place he saw outside was even more beautiful then the one he was. The Sacred Kingdom was "alive". The trees were wonderful, the sound of the kids playing could be heard, and several animals could be seem, like dogs and birds, and some peculiar-looking animals too (I think you know who I am talking about.). It was spring, at least was what he thought it was. But then it occurred him...
"How can this place be like this, if just a few seconds ago this land was totally ruined?" he asked himself, but he didn't had too much time, since he heard a scream. Probably from a child.
Davis ran to where he heard the sound, and he arrived at the entrance of The Holy Forest. There, he saw it. A little girl, that wasn't more than 6 years old, with her sweet wine-colored hair, in two long pig-tails that were down, and her sky-like-colored eyes, was being attacked by a strange looking figure. It looked like a ghost or something like it (for those who didn't get who it was, was a Bakemon).
Davis immediately put his sword up, and attacked the figure, that disappeared just as the sword found its target. The girl, that was with her eyes closed, waiting for the monster attack her, opened her eyes and looked up, founding a smiling Davis looking down at her. He then kneeled in front of her.
"Are you okay?" he asked in his most sweet voice, to not scare the already scared little girl. She looked into his eyes that were wet with amazement with the young Davis there, and asked:
"Whe... re.. is the.... ghost?" she asked in her childish voice.
"He's gone now, don't worry." Davis said to her, with a wink (hey Missing Love readers, thanks! Now I know the "blinking-one-eye" thing ^_^).
"Gone...? How..?" the sweet little girl asked again.
"I sent him away with this." Davis said, motioning his sword. The girl's eyes now were with a very big glow, as she smiled.
"You have it! You have it!" she said, then the got on her feet, and jumped several times in the air. Davis sweatdropped.
"What do I have?" he asked.
"That cute thing! A sweet girl told me that you were going to come, and that you'd have it!" the girl said, still jumping up and down, indicating to the Crystal Blade.
"Which girl?" Davis asked, he liked the little girl, he just had the feeling he had to trust and talk to her.
"A girl in my dreams! She said that one day, a nice guy would come, and that he would have that thing! And that I would have to help him whatever he needed to." She said, holding her chin, like she was thinking. Davis laughed at the sweetness of the little girl.
"Could you help me?" he asked, curving his body to look in the girl's eyes.
"Yes!" she said.
"Well, then, could you bring me to the underground of that castle? They say that a princess is locked there, and that she needs help." He said. The little girl looked at the castle, then looked back at Davis.
"That's easy!" she said, winking. She grabbed his hand, and conduced him to the castle. There, she entered, then went in a few secrets passages. They went down some stairs, and went down and down.
The little girl was singing, very low, a sweet music, with her childish voice. It was something like "And maybe, I'll find out, a way to make it back someday... To watch you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days..."
Davis heard her, then asked:
"What are you singing?" her face became a little red.
"You heard? It wasn't for you to hear it..." she said sadly, and Davis felt some guilt for her suddenly change of personality.
"Sorry..." he said.
"It is a song... That I heard in one of my dreams..." she said, her head looking at the ground.
"Was the sweet girl that sing it for you?" Davis asked, trying to push her up, but the girl shook her head.
"No... It was... A nice and good-looking guy..." she said. Davis turned the girl, to look in her eyes.
"Who was him?" he asked softly.
"I don't know... He just looked like... you..." she whispered, and Davis could barely hear, but he heard.
The girl quickly turned around, as they arrived at a huge door. The girl turned to him, now smiling again.
"It's here!" she said, and Davis nodded. He opened the door, and when it was open, he could a light laminating a big blue thing. Then he though of one thing.
"Thanks, sweetie. What's your..." he began, but when turned around, the little girl wasn't there. However, the stairs looked old and dirt.
"Name..." he finished. "What just happened? Well, I think I have to do what I'm here for." He said, turning back to the room he wished for,
He walked towards the ice. When he was near it, he could finally see. A very beautiful young woman was locked inside it. Her wine-colored hair came down to her back, but wasn't near her waist. Her eyes were closed, and you could see that... Tears came down her serene face. Her hands were together, like she was praying. But then a thought came to him... She looked like...
"That girl! She look just like that little girl, but older! So, was that girl..." he said loud, and smiled. She helped him. "Thanks, sweet Claire." He said, looking at her sleeping figure in the ice. He finally made it. He was finally in front of Claire Jordan, The Princess of the Ice.
