The Fourth Magic Knight
Chapter 4: Misunderstanding
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh well ^_^;; thanks for all your support minna! Especially for Kat and
Static. For clarification here, uhmm...as I told you in the other author's
note, I wrote this long before I got the idea of Hikaru, Umi, Fuu...Witches?!
and faintly, I don't know everything yet about Rayearth. Now for about
Presea, I think she can transport weapons and armour (she can't be a storage
bin like a Kafra Girl in Ragnarok. And she gave Hikaru, Umi and Fuu their
swords just by using her hands. She is an artisan ^-^.) For Clef, I believe
there are two kinds of summoning. The first is the usage and storage of
creatures. The second one is just plain calling. Clef's calls Mokona and when
Mokona does respond, he either has a choice of transporting himself through
the Mage or walk.
Hope this clarified. I used to believe it was that way years ago. As long as
its a bit different for a change so that any story including the Magic
Knights wouldn't always sound so monotonous. ^_^ Please don't forget to
review me.

"YEeaahhh!" Sarah Mae shrieked when they tried to attack their very
first monster. Out came what looked like the monter's blood. Yet, it was
still alive and standing.
"Clow Card Sword!" Cherrie commanded her card as a sword appeared in
ther place of her staff and struck it to the ground, toward the monster. The
creature was halved and it exploded into dust and dirt. Something glittered
fell together with the monster's remains. It had attracted Keroberos' eyes.
"What's that?" Kero-chan pointed to the glittering thing. He flew
towards it."My, it looks like the same mineral found on your armour Sarah!"
"What?!!!" She ran over to have a look-see. Mokona sprang from her
arms to the floor and took the gem. He jumped over to the only incomplete
jewel in her armour and placed the small item. It reshaped and fitted itself
with the other. It was still incomplete.
"Puupupu!!Puu!" It made a happy guesture as it jumped around Sarah
Mae.
"You mean that is a part of the armour?" Kero-chand questioned.
"Puu!" Mokona nodded his head.
"Then, whenever we kill a monster, we complete Sarah's armour.
Great!!" Cherrie twirled her Card Captor staff in an exciting manner and
used it to point at the pathway. "Let's go!" she winked at Sarah Mae, an
assurance that she will help her through the end, as she was her best friend.
After a short walk, they came to a clearing. It was covered with
grass and flowers. In its center, larg floating stones lie. Mokona jumped
over towards it. The group followed too. As they neared it, numerous monsters
sprang up from beneath. They were of different shapes and sizes. When they
did so, they crowded around them. They wer trapped.
"Puuu..." the scared Mokona ran back behind Sarah Mae's legs.
Cherrie turned around in preparation for the attack, gripped her
staff more tightly and gritted her teeth.
Keroberos stood floating beside her with a fixed stern face. She was
also prepared.
Sarah Mae took out her arnis. By then, it seemed at that movement
when she brought out her weapon that the mosnters attacked. She eventually,
ran, dodged and slashed, getting the hang of using the arnis. She was able to
finish off a few of the monsters with difficulty. In the other hand, Cherrie
had used the Wood Card to crush her attackers.
"Hey Sarah, need some help?" Cherrie bellowed.
"No, but thanks anyway." she hit a creature with all the strength
she has."But I do think I need more practice with these." she said as she
evaded another one going towards her direction. With a slash, she was able
to cut its arm.
Unlikely hurt, the monster's other arm punched her out of the way,
making her entire body fly back a few feet. She was dazed as she opened her
eyes. She shook the confusion off her head only to see Cherrie destroy the
creature for her. Cherrie pulled Sarah up, not knowing the coming burst of
emotion.
"What did you do that for?" Sarah Mae shouted at Cherrie angrily.
"Huh? I helped you, didn't I? YOu you be very grateful." Cherrie
suddenly backed off and retaliated.
"How can I practice if I never get to finished them myself!"
"I was only helping...fine then! I won't help you the next time!"
Cherrie said heatedly.
One point is for sure. When Cherrie said her last statement, she
really meant it. She wouldn't help Sarah Mae for real. What was left of the
monsters had simply vanished. There was nothing glittering to be picked up.
"Pupupupuuu!" Mokona shouted. It hopped quickly to one of the
floating stones.
"Coming Mokona!" Sarah said "Cherrie let's reach for thos rocks!"
Monsters sprang suddenly as they walked. Cherrie did not even spent
a sweat as the creatures around her were eliminated. Below her, was their
ashes. On the other hand, Sarh Mae was moving towards the rock are having
more problems. But she was taking her time, confronting them one by one.
Nearing the rock where Mokona as standing on, Cherrie also followed Sarah.
Happening all overe once more, creatures appeared beneath her. This time, as
Cherrie discovered, were now immune to her Clow Card attacks. Further proving
that as they continue defending themselves, the monsters were improving
rapidly. At this time Sarah saw Cherrie only warding off the creatures.
"Cherrie! Use your powers and reach for the rocks! It's the only
place they cannot touch you! It's somewhat sacred." she shouted through the
chaos.
"I..I can't. The Cards don't work on them." Cherrie said. "HELP ME!"
"Oh Mokona." she was already on the rocks and held onto Mokona."I
have to help her somehow!"
'Use you words.' A voice echoed inside her mind. 'Use the power
within you!'
"Clef! Is that you?" Sarah was now panicky.
'Yes. In this world, you should believe in yourself. In this world,
your will determines everything.'
"My will... CHERRIE!" she shouted.
Cherrie was already drowned from the tons of monsters surrounding
her.
"Cherrie! Use your Shield Card!" Sarah Mae barked at Cherrie.
Cherrie raised one of her arms and showed a thumbs up sign. It's
time.
Sarah Mae closed her eyes, placed both hands in her heart and
listened."Topaz..." she brought out her right arm in the air and raised her
two fingers. She then jumped and pointed on the ground below her.
"Earthquake!" A great rush of boulders appeared from nowhere and directed
itself toward the crowd of monsters. After a while, the disrupted ground
calmed and there stood Cherrie, encased in her shield. She wa unharmed.
Around her fell two more broken jewels
"I-I-I'm alive!" Cherrie exclaimed.
"Of course you're alive! Your Shield Card saved you." Sarah looked
at Cherrie."I would never leave anyone in a predicament like that. Could you
please pick up some of those gems and then come up to this rock?"
"No." she answered.
"Why you! Come on! I need help here-"
"I thought you could do everything youself." Cherrie said irritably.
"Grrr!" Sarah Mae stormed as she stepped down to pick up the pieces
for her incomplete armour.
As soon as movement was made, they sprang out again, larger in
number than before.
Sarah was also losing patience.'If we're going to be cooped up here
forever, I'd rather leave this place then go picking up gems. I think I've
had enough of this.' she said to herself."Mokona! Do you think we would be
safe once we get ourselves out of the clearing?"
"Pupuuuupuuu pupu!" he jumped enthusiastically.
"Then, we must leave immediately!" she announced "Cherrie! We're
leaving. We must go NOW!"
"Ok!Ok! We're going. But how am I supposed to leave this place?"
then she thought for a moment. And idea popped into her mind. She made her
other staff appear and held it together with the Card Captor on one hand and
pointed it at her Fly Card. "Fly Card, please help me. Give me wings to fly!"
and then she called out. "Mystical Clow Card I ask of thee
Show thy power unto me
Clow Card Fly!" a gush of feathers came out of the card and then two large
feathers embeded themselves on her back. It suddenly bursted into a pair of
large wings. Cherrie jumped up to fly, but the creatures had taken hold of
her wings. She was unable to fly. "HELP! HELP!" Cherrie said as she struggled
to flap her wings hard."Let go of me you beasts!" she tried to move
violently to ge free. Then another idea came to mind. She took the Cherrie
Staff ouf and lifted it. A crescent-shaped ball appeared. She pointed it at
the intruders, most importantly on the ones holding onto her only escape.
"Moon Beam!" the shape ran across the clearing in a straight line. Upon
their surprise, she took off."Moondusted." Cherrie murmured.
Meanwhile, Sarah Mae is making her way to the rock once more. With
one jump, she was already on top of the rock. She pciked up Mokona and told
Keroberos to follow Cherrie. Jumping towards the rocks leading to the other
side of the clearing, she made a run towards it and reached a wood. She then
stopped."That was a close shave." she heaved her breath.
"Yeah, we did great back there." Cherrie flew down slowly with
Kero-chan.
"You two are great when you work together. Why don't you two
apologize? It is a shame for best friends to quarrel and fight." Keroberos
commented.
"I gues you're right Kero-chan. It was selfish of me. Cherrie, please
forgive me." Sarah Mae guestured to shad hands with Cherrie.
Cherrie smiled and shook her hands warmly."Friends."
"I wonder where Sarah is right now?" Patrick huddled together with
Ralph in their bed. It had been all too obvious for them to know what was
happenning around. They can sense it. Mother Nature is very angry, angry at
man."Dad is pretty worried. I know sister knows how to take care of herself.
She can, I tell you." Patrick asserted himself. Her peeked at the waving
curtain as night began to fall.
