FURY OF THE CREATORS
Chapter 1: Lost
:: Sakura's POV ::
Like the fleeting of the winds, he's gone in a blink of eye.
It all ended so abruptly. In an instant, the world before my eyes blurred and I was transported back to Tomoeda. The shadows of the future haunts my dreams and the facts blackened my light.
His world is gone. He's gone.
I can recall the details of our misadventures so vividly. It all seems like yesterday...
6 Years Before
:: Normal POV ::
// I was so young and naive then. I had an overprotective brother, a caring and loving father, and not to mention an overzealous girlfriend, Tomoyo. Mother died long before I could get to know her. I regret to inform you that my life wasn't that interesting unless you count my hobby. A hobby that turns into an occupation during my childhood. I had released the Clow cards much to Keroberos dismay. It took me quite a while but I completed the task before me. In the hours of the Final Judgment by Yue, I surpassed the guardian. Ah! I'm rambling on about those days. My misadventures started a few days after the Final Judgment.
Begin Dream Sequence
I was standing on a rooftop overlooking the city.
// I had these dreams for the past few days and I couldn't shake the dread that something big is going to happen very soon and it did.
Why am I here?
I stared into the darkness and a figure materialized. I couldn't see it very clearly but it held a great sword on one hand.
"Who are you?" I asked. The shadow with its burning eyes always directed at me did not respond.
"W...why?" I asked yet again. This time however the shadow moved to speak...
End Dream Sequence
"SAKURA!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!" Keroberos had been trying to wake up the card-captor for 10 minutes now. Sakura jerked forward and reality sets in.
"Finally! I've been trying to wake up for 10 minutes now. The alarm isn't doing a good job and I don't like my job as the 'alarm'." Kero said. Sakura was still dazed from her slumber and rubbed her eyes extensively. Why did Kero wake me up before I was going to find out what that shadow wanted?
"What time is it?" Sakura finally managed to say.
"8:00! You have 15 minutes to get to school!" Kero shouted.
"8:00! I'm going to be late!" Sakura replied.
She jumped out of bed and trek toward the restroom closing the door after her. She splashed water on her face to wash away the last traces of last night's disturbing sleep. Sakura hurriedly brushed her teeth and gargled the mouthwash for a good 30 seconds. After she finished, she stripped off her pajamas unveiling the light-skin mistress of the cards and proceeded to take a 5-minute shower. She turned on the water.
"Ahh!" Sakura yelled in surprise.
The water was so cold in the morning. She turned on the hot water to balance out the temperature. Water trickled down her body washing away the sweat and dirt from yesterday's. Sakura took up a bottle of shampoo and started to wash her hair. The water rinsed the shampoo from her hair and pushed it downward with the current. The water hugged Sakura's body and ran down her developing breasts. She finished a good 40 seconds before the 5-minute mark.
Putting on her clothes at an amazingly fast pace, she darted down the stairs of her home and sat down for an accelerated breakfast with her family.
"So the monster finally decides to wake up." Touya murmured.
"I heard that!" Sakura shouted. She kicked her brother on the shin under the table. She had 5 minutes left to get to school which is better than most days. Putting on her skates, she raced toward the school.
"See you later, dad. Bye Touya." Sakura yelled back to the receding Kinomoto's residence.
After a good 3-minute skate, the outline of the school came into focus. The streets weren't that crowded and a local police cruiser patrolled the peaceful neighborhood. Things turned ugly in seconds however when the sky darkened. The storm clouds gathered above her as she continues to skate toward her school.
"Ahh!" Sakura yelped in fear when the thunderous clouds boomed. Lightning blazed the sky with its unrelenting fury. Sakura stopped next to a woman around mid-thirties and watched the sky.
"Strange weather we're having huh? Lightning and thunder but not a drop of rain." the woman said.
It was strange indeed. Sakura had seen this weather before when she captured the lightning card. The thunder boomed and the lightning continues to dominate the once quiet neighborhood. The clouds swirled and soon a vortex emerged in the center of the havoc. Electricity coursed through the vortex and gathered at the focal point. Every eye of Tomoeda was directed at this unusual phenomenon. The people in the streets looked in awe and some in fear of what to come. Suddenly without any warning, a band of electricity from the focal point of the vortex struck meters away from Sakura and the shaken woman continuously! After electrifying the pavement and charged the air with its continuous thunderbolts, the vortex sent a final blast of massive energy toward the earth. The explosion rippled on impact and the thunderous might of the blast could be heard miles away. The explosion sent debris flying in every direction and Sakura took cover. Once the dust had settle the people looked on at the crater created by the explosion in the middle of the street.
A lone figure walked toward Sakura and terrified companion from inside the crater. He had broad shoulders and carried a huge broad sword tied behind his back. A grayish armor covered his entire body and looked as grim as the face of the wearer. His chest plate had a small amount of green however. The green symbols on his chest plate were mysterious to everyone who saw them. In fact, he was the mystery himself. He turned his head and looked at his surroundings.
"Where the hell am I?" the stranger asked. He didn't specifically asked anyone in particular but Sakura had the feeling that the question was directed at her. Sakura was shaken throughout this entire ordeal but she remained strong.
"T...T...Tomoeda." Sakura answered the young man quite nervously. He looked like a warrior from the Middle Ages with the sword and armor. However on his left wrist, he wore a belt of technologically advancements that Sakura was quite sure that she never had seen before. (A/N: A portable computer like the one Bishop or the 3000 AD time traveler wore in X-Men.)
"What year is it?" the handsome young man asked but this time facing Sakura.
"2001." Sakura answered meekly. The people on the streets looked inquiringly at the young man. Many were already murmuring guesses as to who or what this man is.
"2001!!!! Oh shit!!!!" the young man cried. He was no more older than Sakura but his armor gave him prowess. He stood as tall as any of the men in the streets. Sakura was quite confused with his response. Where is this guy from? Wait, when is this guy from? How did he get here?
He paced back and forth as if contemplating his next move. He touched the computer on his wrist.
"C'mon, c'mon! Ahh! Damnit! Damaged." he said. In the distance the police cruiser that had been dispatched to the area sped toward the crater. Its siren ringing in his ears even though it's some distance away. He turned toward the police cruiser with an air of distrust. When the cruiser came into plain view of everyone on the street, the stranger snarled.
"Dominion troops!" he mumbled seeing the flashing lights of blue and white, the symbol of that twisted order. He immediately took out his long, broad sword. Sakura now had a better glance at his weapon and saw that it was no ordinary sword. It was quite the opposite of the medieval weapon. The sword was completely black and the hilt had one green emerald at the end. The handle was very 21st century with its technological look. (A/N: Looks like the light sabers from Star Wars in some ways.)
He took a fighting stance and immediately turned on the awesome power of his 'Excalibur' with a flick of a switch. Electricity ran up and down the black blade before mixing with the green energy generated by the emerald to give the sword an aura. Its blade burned in the green field. He pointed the sword downward, touching the pavement to begin his charge.
The people noticed this glowing sword in awe and before anyone knew what he was doing, he ran toward the cruiser dragging the huge down with him. The pavement screamed in agony as the tip of the sword scarred its face.
"Wait! Stop! Stop!" Sakura screamed. She couldn't understand what was happening but it's obvious that this man plans to fight the cruiser.
Although veiled in armor, the young man had great mobility. He ran toward the cruiser without difficulty and leapt high into the air ready to strike. He brought his flaming sword above his head to split the beast but he had a glimpse of two humans inside the cruiser. He didn't want to hurt them but it was too late. He was coming down with the sword on their heads. He tried to minimize the damage as much as possible by bringing the sword down between the two men. Closer, closer...
Sakura, seeing the possible outcome before her eyes moments before, had stole back into a deserted alley and there a transformation was taking place. She immediately called up Time to help her. Once Time had frozen the natural clock of the world, Sakura ran out from the alley to assist the policemen. Sakura looked at the picture before her. The stranger with his burning sword above his head is only meters away from the cruiser. He had been frozen in time just like the onlookers. Unexpectedly however the young man suddenly dropped out of frozen time and landed on the cruiser not so quietly.
Sakura ran to him to provide aid. "Are you alright?" she questioned the strange man.
"..." was his answered. He looked around and saw all the people, save him and this girl, were frozen in time.
"How...how did you break my magic?" Sakura asked in astonishment.
"Magic?" he replied with a perplexed look.
"Umm..." Sakura mumbled.
Sakura had a hard time trying to answer that question. They were silent for a few seconds before Sakura felt tired. Her body staggered and fell forward. With his quick reflexes the man caught Sakura immediately.
"Hey! Hey! Are you.." he shouted in vain. Time was receding and he saw other parts of the town becoming unfrozen. He looked around and saw a lot of people. I have to get out of here. I have to get her out of here. Using whatever functional resources his damaged computer provided, he transported to another location with Sakura in his arms back to normal time.
A/N: Here ends chapter 1 of Fury of the Creators. Please review. I will try and post chapter 2 as soon as possible.
