"Hey Sarah Mae!" Cherrie started a conversation as the left the town
of their small encounter. "You left something." showing a similar gem she
had acquired from the former Princess of Cephiro.
"Wow!" Sarah Mae stopped walking though Mokona continued on, hopping
all the way. "Could you have th honor of placing it onto my guard?" she
invited her best friend.
"Sure manure!" Cherrie smiled, it was one of their favorite
statements only they shared. She walked beside her armor and placed it beside
the other. Upon contact, they fused together forming an incomplete orb. "One
more then it will be complete. Come on! Let's catch up with Mokona rather
than getting lost in this creepy forest." they continued their walk.
As night began to fall once more, all of them decided to dine inside
Mokona's egg-shaped tent and ate the healthy fruits. Sarah looked at her
watch. It was already past ten. "I think it's about time to sleep now. You
coming?" she asked.
"Actually, I sleep later than ten p.m. You can go on first if you
want." Cherrie replied.
"Okay then, just don't forget to pray. I forgot to last night. She
smiled back at her and left to change her clothes."Good Night!"
"Good night to you too!" Cherrie greeted her back. Then she turned
to face Kero-chan continued with their talk. Another hour went by and they
too, had hit the sack. At the start of dawn, the sunlight greeted them
warmly as its rays of lighttouched their faces.
Keroberos awoke first and went to the window to face the sun, his
source of power. Her then looked at the two sleeping forms lying in a
position in an unladylike manner. He sweatdropped and said to himself 'Usual
day to day activities.' as he shook his head in disapproval. He flew over
to Cherrie and tried to wake her up. "Rise and shine! It's a new day! Wake
up!"
Cherrie, thinking she was still at home, grabbed Keroberos and threw
his frail body away from where she was sleeping like a rag doll."Go to sleep,
alarm clock." she muttered as she shifted to a better sleeping position.
Poor Keroberos. His body upturned and broken backed but he went
towards her, determined to wake her up. An idea suddenly popped inside his
head. "Hey Yue! How were you able to come here? Nice morning isn't it?"
She stood up quickly at the mention of her beloved 'Yue' and ran to
the door, opening it in the process. "Yue! Where are you!" she looked to her
left and then to the right. She only saw an orange shaded forest."GGGrrr.."
she fumed, angrily shaking Kero-chan.
"W-well, Yo-you-re a-wa-awake no-ow right? RIGHT?" he said during his
torture from his master.
"Point taken." She stopped what she had been doing."Now its my turn.
Heheheh" a sly grin formed her face. She walked up to the sleeping Sarah Mae
curled up in her bed."Hhieeyeahh!" Cherrie' arms went flying around her
waist."Tickle, tickle,tickle!"
"Hahahhahah! Hahahahahahah! Don't even try waking me up!" she almost
kicked Cherrie, shifted her position and grabbed Mokona and hugged it
tightly.
"Puu!! Puu! Pupupuuu!" Mokon seemed squeezed as he freed himself from
her grasp. He started hopping and slapped Sarah Mae's face.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! OUCH!" she looked around and saw Mokona."Thanks
a lot Mokona, my beautiful dream came true." She sarcastically said and
started changing her clothes and slowly attached her armour. After that, they
continued on their adventure.
Deeper inside the forase is a large lake and there in the lake swam
of what looked like a beautiful nymph-like figure. Surrounding the same lake
were the same type of creatures who had attacked Ascot. When the figure
slowly rose up from the bank of the lake, all the creatures turned around.
The nearest one to her elongated his arm and gave out her clothes. She dried
first her sky blue hair and took her clothes and wore it. She then sat down
on a high rock nearby "Now then, what's taking my other creatures in bringing
Ascot?" She moved a stray strand of long hair over her ear. The creatures
turned around as she started to speak. They all kept quiet."Well?!? I'm
waiting!" she seemed so flushed and impatient.
One stepped forward to confront her."Uum..., Uumii.-"
"That's Princess Umi to you!" she glared at him with angry eyes.
The creature winced "Y-yees, Priinceess Uumii"
"Now what were you about to report to me?" she neared her slave and
smiled sweetly.
"Priinceess Uumii, thee oonees yoouu oordeereed too caaptuure
Aascoot faaiileed yoouur oordeer aand haas peeriisheed." the monster
continued.
"WHAT!!" Her face went red with frustration."How was this possible?
Was his training with that Mage Clef that intensive?"
"Ootheers haavee reepoorteed thaat aanootheer Maagiic Kniight
wiith aa pooweerfuul soorceereess weeree thee oonees reespoonsiiblee oof
freeeeiing yoouur caaptiive." he added.
"Another Knight?? But there are no other Knights in Cephiro but the
ones held captive by my father, unless Princess Emeraude lied to us." then
she thought."Oh, what the heck. I am a Magic Knight with far more exceeding
powers than a new one." She confidently pepped herself up with a beautiful
pose."Search the entire forest! I plan to end this madness once and for all!
Bring her to me alive!"
"Yees, Priinceess Uumii!" all the minions chorused.
"Sword Card!" Cherrie ordered the clow card to embed its form on her
staff. With one wave, the hanging vines from the trees gave way for them to
pass through. She called out to Mokona "Slow down! Can we not have some rest
please?"
"Pupuuu Puu! puu!?" Mokona guestured a way of saying no.
"Great! Just great! Do you expect us to go hungry here? Its about.."
she looked at her watch. 10:00, two hours early for lunch."Just 11:30!"
"Puu?" Mokona did not understand."Puu-" Mokona gave each of them
energy fruits, to make them contented and to keep them from making too much
noise. The all sat down to eat.
Unknowingly to them, prying eyes watched them eat. They stealthily
grabbed Mokona and Keroberos. The other two did not notice what happened.
Then a branched tapped on Cherrie's shoulders.
"Kero-chan, will you stop it. You had your own share."
*tap*
"I told you you cant have mfptf" the branch had caught Cherrie's
mouth."MFFT!"
"Huh?" Sarah Mae looked around for Cherrie."CHERRIE!!" she stood up
and brought out her weapon.Another branch quickly grabbed her left hand and
then on her right. "LET GO OF ME!" she slashed and thrashed, cutting the ones
attempting to capture her. More came out grabbing her tightly. Although she
tried, she became outnumbered by four to one.
With eight hands holding her they walked triumphantly back to their
leader. All tried their best to wriggle themselves out free, but to no avail.
They gripped them more tightly as if being squeezed to death. They were
brought to the Princess sitting on top of the rock, nearby the lake.
"Bravo! Bravo!" the so-called Princess Umi clapped "You have brought
me what I have ordered. So this is the Fourth Magic Knight." Umi went down
from her seat and held Sarah's chin."What kind of Knight is this? She can't
even fight her way out from these minions of mine. HAhahaha!" She laughed
wickedly.
"Umi! You're my enemy?!?" her words barely came out from the lack of
air.
"Mmpf tmnth mph mimphi?" Cherrie asked.
"What did you just say? Let go of her mouth you fool!" Umi addressed
the one holding onto Cherrie's mouth.
"That's better. I said, is that really Umi?" Cherried shouted at the
leader, making sure she had hit a nerve on Umi's temple.
"Why you little-" A vein appeared on umi's fist. She was about to
smack Cherrie's face when Keroberos butted in.
"If you're talking about little, you must be talking about me."
Kerobros confidently said, hoping Sarah Mae would get the drift of their
plan.
"And what is THIS little thing?" Umi pointed at it and tried poking
Kero-chan.
"Puu! Puu!" Mokona said.
"You again!" she also pointed at the fluffball and drew back and
observed all of them. "What a bunch of irritating pests!" Umi comber her hair
with her hands.
Ther at Umi's blue hair, did Sarah Mae noticed something. At the end
of every strand of it looked like tendrils with some yellow-green leaves.
Her eyes grew larger in astonishment when she saw her green nails.'She's not
Umi! She's and impostor!' she said to herself.
"Upon hearing Sarah Mae's thoughts, Cherrie looked at Umi more
closely. She too noticed it. 'Keroberos, she not one of the real Magic
Knights. She's a clone!'
'What? You mean to say she is the lookalike of one of the Knights?'
Kero-chan gasped.'Then there is no problem in defeating her.'
'You don't know Umi Keroberos.' Cherrie warned her companion.'Umi's
the quickest among the three other Knights, and she posesses the power of
water.'
"Release them at once!" Princess Umi finally said. Their telepathic
conversation was cut short."I shall personally test their abilities, and if
I am correct, you will get yourselves killed, Knight or no Knight." she gave
a wicked laugh.
Their living chains freed them at their master's orders. Sarah Mae
rubbed the sore parts of her body, having been squeezed made her skin pink.
she gave a questioning glance at Cherrie and asked."What do we do now?"
"I think I will leave you with Umi. I'll try to defeat all her
minions, just to make sure they no longer call for more reinforcements.
Keroberos on the other hand, will assist you."
"Yes Cherrie, as you wish." Keroberos sighed.
"You mean that puny thing has something up his sleeve to do some
damage against me? Don't make me laugh." Umi jerked her head in
overconfidence "Puh-leez" she rolled her eyes.
"Not if I can help it. Would you Cherrie...?" Kero-chan asked.
Obliging, Cherrie took six steps backward. So did her best friend.
"Be my guest." Cherrie said in a welcoming manner.
"Thank you. By the power of the Sun, I summon my true form!"
Cherrie's gold-lined magical crest shone brightly beneath Kero-chan and
slowly his tiny wings started to grow, which enveloped his entire body,
covering every sight of him. His wings then reopened like a cocoon, revealing
a large lion, the true form of Keroberos.
"AaAahh!You're-you're so big!" Umi shivered, waving her arms in
surprise. Then she stopped."I think it is fair enough for me."
"Fine with me." Cherried said "I'll just back these stupid-looking
things off from interrupting you." pointing at the creatures under Umi's
commands.
"Whoo aaree yoouu caalliing stuupiid? Wee'ree noot stuupiid. Aaree
wee, Priinceess Uumii?" the creatures called on to their master.
"Of course not! You have my permission to destroy her. Stranglers!
Attack!" she commanded upon them with a wave of her hand. She then confronted
Sarah Mae and Keroberos. She raised her right arm sideward in level with her
shoulder. Water from the lake began to move. It formed a spout and the
liquid surrounded her arm, forming a sword. One of the said Magic Knight's
sword. The sword that only a true Magic Knight can hold. She gripped it and
positioned herself in a fencing stance "Get ready for me because no one has
ever beaten me before!"
"Then I shall be the first person to try and stop you!" The fourth
Magic Knight readied herself.
Is that true? How can a clone can hold the Magic Knight's Legendary Sword?
