The Fourth Magic Knight
Chapter 6a: The Training
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi! I hope the readers weren't angry waiting. As usual, I'd like to tell
that this fanfic has been written long ago but never was finished and I'm
just typing it down till where it stopped. I'm just a bit lazy these past
days---aha! she finally admits! She's a Ragnarok Addict! Just don't forget
to review it or mail me. I'd appreciate it. sarahmae@anodizeblue.com

"Now then. How shall we start?" Ascot asked himself, rubbing his
chin."I could not possibly use my friends." he muttered to himself as he made
his staff float, like how Clef did to his."Ah! I noticed recently that
monsters are more attracted to surges of power in these woods. Are you ready
Sarah?"
"I am now." She prepared herself. She concentrated for her weapons
to appear as she brought out her hands in front and held is firmly.
"Here goes." He cupped his hands as if holding something circular and
started muttering words Sarah could not understand. A minute had already
passed when there came some movement from the bushes. Out came a monster
headed towards Ascot. Sarah Mae was able to intercept it, knocking it first
before using the sharp edge of the arnis to get it wounded. The thing did not
feel any pain and started charging at her again. She continued the fight.
From Ascot's view, he noticed something wrong with her attacks and waited for
five more minutes for the monster to die."Sarah, I've noticed the way you
fought. It does not use any force of will coming from the weapon itself. Is
there something on your mind?"
"I have nothing in mind at all. I am not an experienced fighter, nor
a good user of a weapon." she answered back.
"I see. Then you are in need of more strenouos trainings-to at least
learn using force of mind to defend you and your friends." Ascot looked
around the forest again."Let's try again."
"I shall do my best." she positioned herself in front of Ascot. Mage
Summoner started once more. It took longer for the next one to appear, but
it came to them in a flash. It was a wormlike creature with spiked segments,
and for such a large body, it was very fast. Sarah Mae blocked it with one
swing from her sharp weapon. No effect. She was taken aback, jumped above it
and hit its sections,blow by blow, its possible weak points. Before her
jump reached the ground, the creature wriggled its end and hit her in her
midsection.
"Aaaaaahhh!" Sarah Mae said as she landed farther away from Ascot.
She stayed there for a moment and then stood up. "I will not give up! I will
not ever!" She helped herself as she raised her right arm shakingly."Topaz.."
and brought down two quavering fingers "..Earthquake!" She jumped and pointed
to the spiked monster now busy assaulting Ascot. There was a gush of boulders
below the ground, piercing the creature, like staking a vampire. The monster
gave out what they think was its own scream of pain as it started to smoke
and suddenly exploded into dust and dirt.
Ascot then walked towards her and congratulated "Good. You already
know magic. But, I would rather prefer you to use your own weapons." He
stared sternly into her eyes. "Do it again."
Meanwhile, Lina was busy healing Cherrie. She sat properly nearby the
bed and is currently healing the wounds with her hands placed just above
Cherrie's bruises while singing. Minutes passed, Cherrie's large wound as
well as the other small ones almost sealed itself. At that time, Lina gently
withdrew her singing and covered her with a blanket-like cloth and left the
house to stretch her legs. She latered returned with a basket of food. Five
minutes more when Cherrie woke up and saw Keroberos sleeping beside her. Her
memories then suddenly flowed back. She had fainted after she was almost
blown away by a great gust, but she was already inside a house, not in a
forest. She raised her upper body and inspected her wounds. It was nearly
gone. Cherrie gaped, she then looked around and noticed Lina.
"I see that you are already awake." she smiled at her. "I've brought
you some food to regain your strenght with."
"Puupupuu!!" Mokona hopped onto Cherrie's lap."Puu!Puu!"
Cherrie parted Mokona from her gently. "Do you also want to eat?" she
weakly asked Mokona.
"Puupu!" Mokona's ears flapped anxiously.
*yawn* "Dont' forget me too." Kero-chan said in his sleep.
Cherrie took one fruit from Lina's outstretched hands. 'Can she be
trused? But then again, Mokona's at ease with her company.' she had a second
thought. She gave the other half to the jumping white ball of fluff, while
the other half was for herself. At the fruit's touch on her lips, she slowly
felt returning. She then bit it. It had been the most refreshing fruit she
had tasted. She further ate it up with zest and contentment. After that, she
looked at Lina and blinked. "Who are you?"
Lina stood up and posed herself "I am Lina, the healer of Chizeta.
I was the one who healed your wounds. Oh and that fruit you ate is called an
energy fruit. We just recently discovered it from rare trees." She directly
spoke with that western accent she owned.
Cherrie still sat there motionless. She was able to allow the
information she just heard to 'sink in'. She had so many questions, but the
first thing that came up from her lips was "Where is Sarah Mae?"
"Your friend? She went out with the Mage Ascot for the meantime."
"Mage? You mean to say that Ascot the squirt became a mage? HAhahah!"
Cherrie laughed all the way.
"He used to tell me he was small, but now he's a few fingerss taller
than you are. He is currentlt the guardian of this village."
Cherrie stifled her laughs and controlled herself."So he really knows
his magic huh?"
"Corr-" There cam a loud crash outside. Lina ran to the door and
opened the it. Flames welcomed her, stinging her pretty face. "THE VILLAGE
IS ON FIRE!" she gasped."You stay here. I'll look after the villagers.'Ascot
should have known it, but I do not sense his presence anywhere here.' she
left the house like a bolt of lightning.
Back on the clearing, Ascot had sensed the danger and became alarmed
as she stood up from his concentration and no longer took notice that Sarah
was still in training. He left the clearing in a rush, leveing her behind
with a monster. Seeing smoke coming from the village, she summoned his beasts
and braved the heat.
When Sarah Mae had turned around to see Ascot's approval during the
fight, she found that no one was here but her. Her teacher wasn't here. She
took a leap and stepped on top of the huge muscular thing that was attacking
her and stomped its head and shoulders with all her might. Before jumping
out of its grasping range, she used the arnis to cut his throat and kicked it
away from her. Seeing that the monster was still dazed from the kick she
hopped on top of it once more and slashed all she can, in which the monster
disintegrated into vapor. Looking around to make sure she wasn't
hallucinating, she hollered"Ascot! Where are you?!?! Ascot!!" There was no
answer from afar. She then took off towards the village as fast as she could,
the only place she knew he might go. She reached it,the had become worse.She
shielde her face as she bathed against the fire, attempting to locate the
Mage Summoner's house, using her own hands to feel her way through. She
reached a door and banged her arms at it. No response. She tried again, still
ineffective. "Will someone tell me how to get thorugh this door!" She shouted
at it. It opened and she quickly scrambled and the closed the door behind
her.
"Sarah Mae!" Cherrie shouted.
She turned around and it was Cherrie. She ran to her and hugged her.
"I'm so glad that you are alright." she sqeezed Cherrie more tightly. After
that, she looked around the house "Where's Lina?"
Cherrie shrugged and talked "She told me to stay put when the fire
appeared. I think she went out to look after those who were hurt, but I'm
worried, she's been out for quite some time now. I'm regretting that I should
have gone with her. There must be something odd here and I want to find out.
But how can we out out the fire?" she asked.
"You forgot that you can use Clow Cards Cherrie." Keroberon remineded
her. He fluttered around."Sarah can help out too, since soil can help put out
a fire." he added.
"Got it!" Cherrie said.
"Ok!" Sarah Mae got the drift.
Cherrie took out her key."O Mystical Key, I summon thee
I am the one who agreed
to collect the cards she had freed
thy summoner's name is Cherrie
I demand thy power to be given unto me.
Mystical Clow Card, I ask of thee
Show thy power unto me
Clow Card Watery!"
Sarah opened the door for Watery to come out and followed it together
with Cherrie outside. "Topaz Earthquake!" she said as she threw samll rocks
opposite of the Watery Card's direction. Watery showered the small village as
the sizzling and cackling sounded eventually softened in every passing
minute. The took a view of the village and searched through the soaked
ground. They searched around it in groups of twos. Keroberos with Sarah and
Cherrie with Mokona. At the open of each door, the search for the Healer and
the Mage Summoner was getting desperate. They were nowhere here in the
village.No news nor hair of what had happened during the full blaze.
Suddenly, there came a piercing, pitch breaking scream which surrounded the
nearby forest that had sent birds fleeing. The four of them ran to the
source, darting the seemingly blocking trees. Seeing movements ahead, all of
them braced themselves for what they are about to encounter. One cut through
the bushes, and then they saw seven figures. Two of which postures and bodies
familiar to them. Ascot stood nearby the plant-creatures, clutching his leg.
He was bleeding. Across him, Lina was being used as a guard by one of the
monsters, struggling to be free.
Keroberos analyzed the scene. Lina must have shrieked the moment
these things attacked Ascot when he tried to free her.
"Ascot!" Sarah Mae called.
"Lina!" Cherrie gasped.
At their shouts, the figures turned toward the direction of the
voices. Two of them drew nearer to the newcomers.
"Don't come closer, young Magic Knight! They are resistant to magic
and my creatures!" He stopped them by raising his other hand, his staff
levitating beside him.
"Bee quuiieet, iinsooleent weeaakliing!"One of the plant-like things
threatened the part-mage. He seemed to be the brains of this group. He
transformed his root-like hand into a sharp stick and aimed it at Ascot. He
simply dodged that attack. Then the leader stopped, the information had just
sunk in."Ii haavee heeaard yoouu meentiioon oof aa Maagiic Kniight. Hm.." he
thought as he scanned the vicinity for the persons involved. "Yoouu twoo
looook weeaak. Ii doouubt iit iif yoouu coouuld bruuiisee us." He chuckled.
His eyes, showed danger, SERIOUS danger.
"Leave them alone." Lina struggled to get free "They have no idea of
what is happening here." She resisted more and more, trying to kick and
punch in any way she could to get free from the plant holding onto her wrist
and legs.
"Iinnooceents Eeh? Then wee shaall taake theem aas hoostaagees aas
well too beecoomee oouur slaavees." He ordered the other two plants nearest
to them, and watched while threatening Ascot not to attack or suffer Lina's
soon to be demise. He did not want Ascot meddling to save them also.
Keroberos and the two best friends were backing aways from the
nearing monsters. Sarah Mae gave Cherrie a wink and willed her weapons out.
She charged at the two plante to prepare the other enough time to choose a
Clow Card to destroy these beastial herbs."Hiiyeeeaaaaaahhh!"
Horrorstruck, Lina and Ascot could only watch.
"Freeze Card!" Cherrie ordered her Clow Card. Sarah took a few
steps back, giving way for the Freeze Card to pass through as it turned their
foes into blocks of ice. The fourth Magic Knight tapped the blocks, making
sure that they were really frozen. With a casual smirk, she gave a startling
blow to each stood back and waited. Seconds later, it started to crack and
then the two blocks exploded into tiny frozen water shards.
Furious, the leader called his ally who was in charge of keeping Lina
hostage, just to make sure his orders run smoothly. "Hoow weeree yoouu aablee
too deestrooy my miiniioons?" Hee angrily questioned the two.
"For one thing, my magic works on you because they all came from my
Cards, not from my will." Cherrie explained confidently.
"Cherrie! Don't tell them your secrets!" Keroberos nudged her side.
The leader must have overheard what Kero-chan said."Toooo laatee ,Ii
aalreeaady haavee yoouur preeciioouus caards." He held out his branched hand,
holding Cherrie's deck in front of the owner.
The Card Captor rummaged her pocket for her Clow Cards. It wasn't
there anymore."My precious Cards!" she shrieked."But how did you-"
"Geet iit?" He finished her question."Diid yoouu noot knoow thaat Ii
caan eeloongaatee my liimbs iin aa maatteer oof seecoonds."
Cherrie kept quiet. She still has more tricks up her sleeve that this
mosnter also do not know. She thought 'But what if my magic does not affect
this creature? I think it will be best to study their movements first, I have
acted a bit roughly.' Cherrie just posed, made up a face still full of
astonishment. She became quiet.
"Aaww, diid Ii suurpriisee yoouu?" the one in charge taunted Cherrie.
"Aanywaay, aas loong aas Ii haavee thee heeaaleer, aand aanyoonee whoo'll
geet huurt caannoot bee heeaaleed." he had a menacing look on its dry barked
face.
