The Guardians
Chapter 9: Finale

"And now. you shall die." hissed the power source. It made a grab for Alan, but his past training had not gone to naught, and he escaped the attempt and summoned his wand.
"Lady Dawan.! What are you doing?" exclaimed Alan. The Darkness only hissed vehemently in reply, and unleashed a wave of Despair, which Alan blocked with the Shield. "Lady Dawan! What's wrong?"
"I am she and she is I. We are one yet separate," cackled the Darkness, and let down all her shields. "Kill me, Card Master.if you dare." The Darkness brought into another fit of laughter at his hesitant look. "You dare not! Puny little wimp! Hahahaha!" The Darkness sent forth the demons from Hell, and they ate through his shield as though it was food. Jumping back in horror, Alan summoned the jump Card and clambered onto the top of the bookshelves. His mind whirled, as it worked its way through all the confusing information.
'Lady Dawan. is the Darkness? But she's the Guardians' power source. What of her Power?' And an answer came, from an unexpected source.
came the voice with the breeze out of nowhere.
"Mo.Mother Earth?" exclaimed Alan, astonished. It had been a long time since she had conversed with him voluntarily.
Alan could feel the gears of his mind spinning. "What can I do to break the curse?"
"What do you mean?" asked Alan, frustrated by the elusive answer. He never got an explanation, for the shelf he was perched on had begun to fall to the ravenous demons. Using the Jump Card, he once again escaped onto a safer shelf, and found himself looking down at the power source.
And Alan looked, and found his heart responding to the silent call of Dawan's aching heart. He longed to shout to her, but he did not know what to say.
And Alan did, willing all his feelings and love for her through the faint but existent bond that lay between heart twins.
Dawan heard. Roused from the emptiness, she heard. Crying out in relief and gladness, she sought towards him, only to find her path blocked by the Darkness that had been there from the start of her life. That wall refused to be beaten down, and Dawan soon lost her faith and strength. Each failed attempt brought despair, until Dawan surrendered unwillingly to the emptiness.
"Hang on, Dawan1" cried Alan, as he felt her aura strengthened, and faded again. Choosing the only Card that could possible help, he summoned it. "Light Card!"
And light filled the room, banishing all the demons cowering in the shadows of the room. But the Darkness fought, refusing to lose to the pathetic little wimp with a stack of magi cards.
Dawan had given up hope of escaping the Darkness, when a light shone through onto her. Squinting her eyes against the sudden brightness, she heard his voice. "Hang on, Dawan." and she hung on, and fought the strong hold of the Darkness that wanted to bend her to its will, fought for the guardians in her care, for the promise she made to Clow and Sakura, for her heart twin who was fighting for her.
And it was over. Dawan found herself in Alan's arms, truly seeing his emerald eyes bright with unshed tears. "Oh, Dawan. You're truly awake now."
'Alan." she whispered hoarsely, "thank you."
The tears flowed as Alan embraced his heart twin. "Oh, Dawan.Dawan, I love you." Her eyes widened at the confession, then closed in bliss, as Alan kissed her.
"I love you too, Alan."

It was quite a while later, when Alan finally carried the weak Dawan out of the magic library. The Guardians, in various stages of panic, jumped up at the entrance. "Well?" demanded Keroberos.
"It's over, my guardians. Everything's fine now," smiled Dawan. And it truly was, even as Eriol and Sakura smiled over them from above.
