After over a month's wait, here's chapter seven! Why did it take so long? Because I was busy buying the rights for Magic Knight Rayearth! I also flew around the solar system on my sister's back for inspiration on what to do in this chapter. But it didn't work so I had to will myself to Cephiro and ask the dead Emeraude and Zagato for ideas. But they couldn't answer me because they were dead. So I went to Tokyo and asked Hikaru and Umi and Fuu if they knew what to do. Then I realized I was still in Cephiro and talking to Mokona who had lot's of ideas, but none that I could understand. So I brought him with me to the actual Tokyo and tracked down Hikaru to tell me what Mokona was saying. She told me, but I couldn't understand her either because I can't speak Japanese. So I brought her to the United States and to my town (my sister was getting really tired so we had to walk after that.) and found my friend Cloud who is learning Japanese to translate what Hikaru was saying to translate what Mokona was saying. She just yelled at me in French because I had promised to learn Japanese with her but had yet to do so because I was working on this. So then I had to find her brother to translate what she was saying so I could find out what Hikaru was saying so I could find out what Mokona was saying. But when I did find him, he was just staring stupidly at the wall, wondering why he wasn't featured in Cloud's fanfic 'Revenge Service'. So I had to find someone stupid enough to communicate with him. This wasn't too hard because all I had to do was get the two idiots who were featured in 'Revenge Service', who are Bryce and Andrew. But when they started talking to Cloud's brother, all hope was lost because I realized that they were all idiots and too stupid to understand any human language. So Cloud decided to tell me what was going on. But before she could, a giant meteor flew down from the sky and broke my computer.

Hey, that was a hell of a lot more interesting than what actually happened which if you don't know, go reread the end of chapter 6. (I got sick of saying the six-word disclaimer so I wrote this instead) you can read the chapter now!

"Princess Emeraude?" Hikaru yelled in disbelief.

"Sol Zagato?!" Umi stated in the same manner.

Meetee ran over and threw himself at Princess Emeraude's feet. "Meetee is sorry! Meetee couldn't get Fuu for you both! Meetee is sorry!"

"It's all right Meetee; you tried your best." Princess Emeraude smiled at him.

Meetee jumped up with a smile and hugged Emeraude's legs. "Thank you for not punishing Meetee Princess Emeraude! Meetee will do better the next time Princess Emeraude needs Meetee! Meetee swears he will!" Zagato looked away, shaking his head. Emeraude patted Meetee's head with a soft smile.

"I'll look forward to it Meetee." Emeraude told him. "Would you like to go back now?"

Meetee looked up at Princess Emeraude. "No thank you Princess Emeraude. Meetee would not like to go back now Princess Emeraude. Meetee did not finish his job, Princess Emeraude. Can Meetee please stay?"

"Whatever you would like to do Meetee." Emeraude allowed softly.

"Princess Emeraude..." Clef was still in shock. (Can you blame him? he was with this girl since she was a child and saw her die. now she is standing across the room from him talking to some strange creature perfectly fine!) Emeraude looked over to him when she heard his voice, and when Meetee let go of her.

"Clef." Emeraude smiled at her mentor. Then her head began to turn to the others whom were too surprised to speak but were still in the room. "Lafarga and Lantis, it's good to see you both again." The two didn't change facial expressions at all, which were both total shock. Emeraude continued down the line of people in their silence. "Caldina, Ascot, and friends from Fahren, Chizeta, and Autozam; it's nice to finally meet you all."

"Is that Cephiro's old Princess? I thought she was dead!" Aska argued the sight in front of her.

"She was. That's what we were told." Chang Ang tried to explain to Aska and himself. Sanyun and the others didn't know what to say, especially Eagle. They had never met the Princess, only heard stories of her and her death.

"Is that really you Princess Emeraude?" Hikaru slowly asked.

Emeraude turned to look at the Magic Knights, the ones who granted her wish of death to save her country. The ones most amazed and puzzled at her revival. "Magic Knights...Hikaru." Then Emeraude did something entirely unexpected. First, she smiled a true carefree smile. That alone had never been seen on her face before. Then, she ran over and gave Hikaru a hug! Hikaru at least was surprised, that's for sure!

"P-princess Emeraude??"

"Thank you all so much! Not only for granting my wish, but also for having strong enough hearts to do what I could not. Believe in the hearts and granting the wishes of all the people in Cephiro and saving this country a second time, I thank you again." Then she stepped a few feet away from Hikaru and told them in a soft voice. "I saw what pain my selfish wish brought you all. I'm sorry." She then bowed her head in shame.

Hikaru shook her head quickly. "No! It's not yours or Zagato's fault!" Zagato looked to her at the sound of his name. Completely taken by the fact that this girl who he had fought and tried to kill numerous times was not blaming him! "No matter how strong your heart may be, no one can live alone. Everyone needs someone to understand them."

"Yeah." Umi added. "It definitely wasn't your fault."

"It was the fault of the pillar system. But we have taken care of that." Fuu finished. "Don't blame yourselves."

Clef was smiling and looked very proud of the girls' mature advice. As a matter of fact, everyone was smiling. But Emeraude's smile was the infamous sad-eyes smile and Zagato only had a soft face on, more like pity than pride. Emeraude's smile was nothing like the one she had on before with Hikaru. "Yes, there is no longer a pillar that can no longer love another more than the country or anything else." Emeraude whispered.

Zagato walked up behind Emeraude and put a hand on her shoulder. "Emeraude."

"Princess Emeraude." Meetee told her as if he was a father warning his little girl not to forget her manners.

Emeraude sighed and closed her eyes, like she was trying to gather up the courage required for her next action. Then she slowly turned to Ferio and Fuu. Her eyes looked like she was in a deadly war of conflicting emotions inside.

She opened her mouth to say something when she suddenly froze like a deer in the woods that had just heard a twig snap. Zagato and Meetee looked the same way.

The room was quiet for a moment until Clef finally asked the three. "What's wrong?"

"She's coming!!!!!!!" Meetee burst out and ran to Zagato and pulled Zagato's cape over his head and hid there. Zagato didn't seem to care and stayed the way he was.

"Who's coming?" Umi asked the shivering creature.

It threw part of the cape off so part of it's head was visible and he quickly explained. "Meetee cannot tell you that." And then it threw the cape back up and resumed cowering in fear. Umi was pissed.

"There's no time." Emeraude stated to Zagato, with a very worried tone.

"What do you want to do?" Zagato asked her.

"I guess there is only one thing we can do right now." Emeraude replied. "We have to temporarily stop the source of power." She didn't seem too happy with the idea.

"That's impossible Emeraude. We aren't positive of what it is, and do you really want to do that?" Zagato informed.

"Then we'll have to fight." Emeraude concluded.

"Fight?! Fight what?" Umi franticly asked, extremely upset and confused because she hadn't the slightest idea what was going on.

"That." Zagato pointed to the door of the room. The door, as if on cue, then opened and through the bright, white light came a human figure.

She was dressed in a long, dark red dress. Her hair was a long dark black that seemed to fade into the shadows. Her skin was a soft white and she had not a scratch or bruise on her. She was tall too, about the height of Caldina, and she wore a lighter (somehow, but not gray) black band around her forehead to the back of her head from which dark colored jewels hung. She would be quite attractive, except for her eyes. The entire eye was a dirty blue; no other colors at all. When she walked, her feet were hidden beneath the dress.

She stopped walking when she was across from Emeraude and isolated from everyone else. Emeraude was glaring at the new person so hard that everyone who glanced at her got chills.

But the new visitor smiled at Emeraude and when she spoke, her voices sounded like water. "Hello Emeraude. How have you been fairing?"

"Get out now." Emeraude ordered coldly.

"That's not very hospitable."

"I said get out. We do not need you here."

"Who is she?" Clef questioned what was on EVERYONE'S mind.

"Guru Clef, I am Vanta." She bowed, answering his question herself.

"What are you doing here? Like that?" Zagato asked her. Vanta turned to him.

"You could be asked the same question, Zagato." She paused and looked at the confused faces in the room. "Do you mean to tell me that they do not know yet? A little slow aren't you?"

"Some insects delayed our messenger." Emeraude snapped. Meetee wrapped the cape tighter around himself at the mention of his folly. "But you wouldn't know anything about that would you?"

Hikaru, as well as everyone else in the room, were a bit scared. No one had ever heard or seen Emeraude, their Princess, the one who supposedly had the strongest heart in the world; act like this.

"No need to be so rude, Emeraude dear. I am just here to help out Cephiro and take what's mine." Vanta innocently explained.

"You can't. Leave now." Emeraude's voice grew louder with each word.

"You seem to forget that you are no longer the pillar." Vanta stated.

Emeraude closed her hands in a praying position. A light stemmed from her and shot at Vanta. Vanta simply absorbed the light. Everyone looked shocked. The former pillar's power failed.

"You are trying to force me out Emeraude? That you should know is impossible!" Vanta yelled and began to laugh. Emeraude had a frustrated expression on.

Hikaru knew she had to help Princess Emeraude. She willed her sword to her hand. She turned around. "Guys, we have to help." Umi nodded and followed her lead. Just as Fuu was about to do the same, Vanta's laughter grew. The girls looked confused.

"Swords won't work against her. Neither will magic." Zagato told them, but was staring at Emeraude.

"Then how do we defeat her?" Umi complained.

"I'm not sure." Zagato breathed as he continued to stare at Emeraude and Vanta.

As Vanta's laughter died down, she began to speak with Princess Emeraude again. "Well? Will you let me do what I have the right to do now? You know you aren't the pillar anymore, so you don't have nearly enough power to make me leave." A dark red shadow began to slowly form from Vanta. Emeraude's eyes turned downcast. Then after a moment, they shot open as if an idea had just struck her. "Well?" Vanta demanded as the shadow continued to grow.

"Hikaru!" Emeraude whirled around to face her.

"Yes?" Hikaru answered unsure.

"Come here!" She demanded.

"Wha-"

"Hurry!"

Vanta caught on to what Emeraude was doing. "It won't work! You're wasting your time! She's not the pillar anymore either!" Vanta warned, but she did seem a bit worried.

When Hikaru reached Emeraude, Emeraude told her. "Do as I do, will all your power to me." Hikaru nodded, but she wasn't sure at all.

"Just try and stop me!" Sneered Vanta. But she still had a tone of fear in her voice.

Emeraude closed her eyes and put her hands in the typical praying position. She began to glow again. Hikaru looked at Emeraude and suddenly felt very inexperienced and very babyish. She copied Emeraude, only Hikaru's eyes were squinted shut. A red light outlined Hikaru and floated over to Emeraude where it turned to gold and then all the light was thrust at Vanta.

Vanta let out an earth-shattering scream as the light tore her body and thrust her out of the room. A large smile crossed Emeraude's face and Hikaru let out a shriek of delight. Everyone was relieved that they had been successful in driving the new threat out.

Or at least they would have been if it had worked. When the light subsided, everyone's hopes were crushed when they saw and heard that Vanta was screaming in laughter, not pain.

"Idiots!" Vanta laughed. "Did I not tell you it would not work?"

"I'm sorry." Emeraude hung her head.

"Princess Emeraude!" Hikaru began.

"I have no choice."

"What? You're finally giving up?"

Emeraude turned to a surprised Fuu and Ferio. Before either of them could say anything, Emeraude held out her hand and closed her eyes. Ferio and Fuu each cried out before they collapsed onto the floor. Then Emeraude turned and did the same to Vanta, except she had the gold glow and Vanta disappeared in the dark red shadow.

That's all for now! And you will get no hints for the next chapter. Wait, that's too mean. Instead, I'll give you vague hints. Vanta's name is actually the oldest form of 'want' that I found in the dictionary. (you may laugh and say 'she has no life!' now.) Don't ask where Meetee's name came from because it's really stupid. (ask Happy-Happy-chan if you really want to know!) In this chapter, note who and when Emeraude is referred to as 'Emeraude' or 'Princess Emeraude'. And finally, note the line after Fuu says 'blame the pillar system'. Actually, that's Fuu's only line in this chapter isn't it? Aside for the shouting out she does in the end. Wow, I just realized I have her knocked out again! I am just finding evil ways to shut her up these last couple of chapters. Emeraude is OOC on purpose in this chapter. And I will tell you why Fuu is out of character in the next chapter...or maybe the one after that. The next chapter was actually supposed to tie in with this one, but that would have been way too long.

So you will have to wait a long while for the next chapter because I am going to Ireland in about a week! I will be there for a little more than two weeks! So after the more than a month wait for this chapter, you will have to wait about a month for the next chapter!

Oh, and for the anonymous jerk that flamed me, (not my sister) a word of advice, if you don't like stories like this, DONT READ THEM! They are separated for a reason you idiot. And then you tell me that I get too into my story? What the hell are you reading?! And, may I quote a senior who graduated last year at my school, "if you are going to insult someone, you don't go under a stupid name. You go under your real name, or else you lose the impact and how much the other person cares." How much do I care? 0.00000000...001. And if it was you Keith, tell me so I can stop wasting other people's time.

But, THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED MEETEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALTHOUGH IT TOOK FOREVER FOR IT TO BE ONE SIDED, I COULDN'T HAVE MADE THIS CHAPTER WITHOUT YOU!!!!! PLEASE CONTINUE TO REVIEW!!!

And in the event you are going to flame me, make sure you do it right and give me something to work off of.

And people, please ignore the email address on the previous chapter. My new email is mikowindam@yahoo.com. Thank you.

And (ok, this is the last and) at the time I am typing this, my reviews say that there are 25, but I can only see 18. So, reviewers #19-24, I have no idea what you wrote. The only review alert I got was a Mr. "Your Mama," aka the jerk stated two paragraphs above.

Thank you for sticking with me people. I promise to work on the next chapter while I am in Ireland. (does that count as a life? I was really bored when I did the dictionary thing, and my sister aka Happy-Happy-chan was hogging the computer and then my dad went on!)
