Top of the morning to you all!!!!! May sound stupid but I just got back from Ireland a couple of days ago. The trip was great, but not the trips. I'm referring to the plane rides. How in the world do they expect you to sleep on those things???? But strange as it is, I had no problem with the time zone changes. Maybe I'm just bad with planes. Oh, I really shouldn't say things like that...
Anyway, weird story goes with this chapter. After I finished chapter four, I wanted to work on this one right away. But I had promised to work on "Forever in Your Arms" next chapter so I worked on that one first. But once I finished writing it and went back to this, I totally blanked out on it. I don't mean the story line, I mean what happens in this chapter. So actually, only a little bit of this was done in Ireland. Most of it was done on the way back to the USA. Once I was on the plane, I just started writing. I think I got what I wanted in it...I don't know.
I didn't fly to Europe to get the rights for Magic Knight Rayearth. I would have to fly to Asia. Ireland is not even close. Why are you still reading this? Can't you tell that I am not saying anything worthwhile anymore? After a person does a disclaimer and an opening, normally the story comes next! Why are you still reading this? There is no story in this paragraph! Ok, you want to keep going? Do you really? Fine then. I will tell you what. I will simply say the thing my drama teacher told me to mouth if you are in the backround and don't know the words to a song you are in the chorus to. Rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb man you are serious about this? Fine. Here are my directions defiant reader. READ THE STORY. stop.
"Where is Fuu?!" Ferio cried.
"Oh, ya mean da girl I was pretendin to be?" Atra replied. "She is most likely long gone by now."
"Where??" Ferio shouted, getting angrier by the minute.
"Ya don't have to shout. I can hear you fine from here."
"Atra," Caldina asked. "What are ya doin here?"
Atra jerked her head over to Caldina when she heard Caldina's voice. Her face was pure excitement and recognition. She obviously knew Caldina, but that shouldn't be so hard to believe since Caldina is from Chizeta and so is Atra. "Caldina sweetie!!!! Long time no see!! So da rumors were true an ya were in Cephiro all this time! This is fantastic! Everybody's been missin ya on Chizeta girlfriend."
"You know her?" Lafarga asked Caldina quietly after Atra finished speaking. But 'quietly' didn't stop Atra from hearing.
"Know her? Ha! You sir, are talkin ta her best friend!" Atra informed Lafarga before Caldina had a chance to speak. "An that's best friends foreva an a day to ya!"
"What's this all about Atra?" Caldina asked. "Why are you in Cephiro? An why did ya disguise yerself as Fuu?"
"Nokvoir misses ya Caldina. Ya wanna come back to Chizeta an help in da revolution? It would make his day ya know. Things haven't been da same since ya left Caldina." Atra questioned ignoring Caldinas'.
"Nokvoir!? He's involved in this?"
"Are you kiddin me? He's leadin it! Who's orders dya think I'm here on?"
"So that's what's going on." Umi stated.
Atra looked shocked. As if she had forgotten that anyone else was in the room aside from her and Caldina. She sighed. "I'm really blowin it here ain't I? I jus can' keep my mouth shut."
"I think I'll get Clef. He'll know what to do." Lantis told them. He turned and walked out through the giant doors with Primera following him like a puppy.
Ferio on the other hand didn't know what to do with himself. The one second he let go of Fuu someone steals her away. Whatever she was going through right now, it was his fault! She could even be dead right now...Ferio shook the thought away. Why would they capture her and kill her? What would they get from that? It's not like she knew any of their secrets. He was pretty sure Fuu didn't have any more of an idea of what was going on in Chizeta than he did. 'She'll be okay.' He thought. 'The minute I find out where she is, I am going to save her, no matter what!'
It was then Lantis returned with the short Master Mage. The minute Clef saw the intruder of Chizeta, he rose his huge staff and chanted "~FUGITIVE BIND!~" and immediately shackles appeared around Atra's wrists, just in case she decided to use one of Chizeta's charms that Caldina is so famous for.
"Man, you people don waste a minute do ya?" Atra exclaimed, studying the magic bonds on her wrists, meant to stop any dance movement that could send the rest of them into chaos. (Caldina had already demonstrated it before many times) Whether she was planning a way out of them or not, it was hard to tell.
"Now," Clef began to speak to Atra. "Why did you disguise yourself as the Magic Knight Fuu."
"Dya really think I am gonna answer that? I may be from Chizeta, but I ain't stupid."
"Can you tell us why you kidnapped her?"
"Ain't that the same thing?"
Then Atra's face changed. It looked like she was listening to something, but there was nothing to listen to. She began to nod her head, like she was agreeing or understood whatever she was hearing. Then, she turned back to the others.
"Well, looks like I held out long enough. That was Nokvior. He told me I can let out the demands now an if my cover was still up, to get rid of it."
"What do you mean? Why were you in disguise in the first place?" Hikaru asked.
"It was my job to distract Mr. Prince here until the girl was brought to Chizeta."
"Why is she there!" Ferio asked angrily. That was the only thing he really cared about.
"Very simple. You get to choose from between either Fuu or Cephiro Princey boy!"
"What?!" The others shouted.
"Like this," Atra explained. "Chizeta needs Cephiro more than anyone. Hopefully, ya'll know this already. The people of Chizeta, or at least the smart ones aren't gonna wait for Tarta an Tatra ta decide on some dumb worthless compromise. So, Nokvoir, since he used ta work at the palace, overheard Tarta and Tatra talking about the people in Cephiro with Princess Aska one day. Actually, they mainly spoke about their meetin's wit da Magic Knights when they were invadin Cephiro. So, naturally Princess Aska spoke about how she had Fuu captured on her ship an dat the Prince of Cephiro fought off her ninha army y himself with nothing but a sword, just to save her. So, Nokvior, bein the genius that he is, came up with the best plan. To steal her an make the Prince surrender Cephiro to us, or Nokvoir will kill Fuu. And even if the Prince choose to sacrifice her life, that meant that Cephiro was one less Magic Knight to fight off an invasion. So it's a win-win deal for us."
"I can't believe Nokvoir came up with this." Caldina muttered aloud.
"He did. An it would be great if ya helped out Caldina."
"What's happening to Tarta and Tatra?" Umi wondered.
"I think Nokvoir's killing them or something." Atra answered off-handedly. "Serves em right too, if ya ask me."
Umi looked horrified. She had been pretty close to the twin Princesses in their short time together. She knew they cared a lot about their people and to hear about them being murdered by those same people simply didn't seem right, or fair. Not to mention the fact that one of her best friends' life was being decided on how much Ferio didn't care about his homeland that his sister sacrificed her life for.
"But what about the meetings that Tarta and Tatra were having with us? We were deciding what we could do to help the overpopulation problem. Doesn't that mean anything to you?" Clef asked.
"I saw those meetings! Nothing was being decided. Except the fact that Cephiro doesn't really care!"
"That's not true!" Clef objected.
"The Prince of Cephiro wasn't there!"
"That's because-" Ferio began.
"What? Aren't you the prince? Don't you own the country?"
"Cephiro-"
"Belongs to the people who love it blah blah blah yeah I heard that already. Let me rephrase. Don't you make the decisions for the country? Aren't you the guy in charge? Well? Or do you just not care?"
"I," Ferio started, then he stopped. It was true. That was what a prince is supposed to do. But Clef normally did all that stuff. To tell the truth, Ferio never even once wanted to do, or was curious of those obligations. The only thing that was ever really on his mind was Fuu. Though it wasn't totally his fault. No one ever treated him differently and he never expected them to. Half the time he forgot he was a prince. He was happiest at those times…
"Well I guess I really shouldn't be actin like this to ya an getting ya'll confused. Afta all, I'm hopin ya chose Fuu ova Cephiro so it's easier on da rest of us."
"Ok, Lafarga help me take her to the prison room where we had put Eagle during the invasion." Clef instructed.
"This should be interestin'." Atra remarked as she left the room led and guarded by Clef and Lafarga.
The others were left to let everything they had just been told sink in. Sink into their minds, and sink into their hearts.
Lousy ending? I know some people may think so. (i am not some people! i am tired!) Anyway, now I am going to complain about the manga even though this is an anime fic. But so the story is straight, I don't hate the manga, despite 90% of the time I make fics they are manga fics. I simply like some events that happen in the anime but not the manga. Same with the manga. (Presea LIVES, Eagle LIVES, Alcyone DIES EARLY, Mokona ISN'T there for comic relief, Being the pillar is a BIG IMPORTANT thing, the girls go BACK TO CEPHRIO, etc., etc., etc.) Good, now that we got that straight I can complain.
Can someone please explain to me how Tarta and Tatra's wish was not strong enough to be candidates for the pillar? And Eagle's wish was? I mean, Tarta and Tatra seemed to have a worthwhile wish to me. But I am not Mokona. I am not Clamp. My opinion is worth nothing. (wow, this closing sucked!!!!!)
Another thing, (here come my never ending endings.) I am not a big fan of Chizeta. The only reason I am doing this is because the problem on Chizeta never seemed to be solved in the anime, and especially not in the manga. Plus, I love to do fics that fill up those holes, point out things that didn't seem to matter much. This happens a lot in the anime. Like Ferio being a prince. (Did anyone ever notice that Ferio is NEVER called a prince in the anime? They ruined the line "You can call me Ferio" (or "Just call me Ferio", depending on the version you have) in the manga!
Why am I dissing the anime in an anime based fic? I need sleep. I have been so busy typing up my fics that I haven't simply lied down yet. (this is also my mom's fault. she has a million things scheduled for us to do since we got back!)
This is ridiculously long now. There is only one thing left to say.
