Hello everyone! I'm back in action! After 9 months (Depression…) I'm back writing Magic Knight Rayearth Fanfiction. I'm also slightly disappointed in some of the new fictions I'm seeing =\
Here's the long-awaited Chapter 6 of The Emerald Sovereign
By the way…I'm a better writer now. This will be easier on your eyes. Please trust me XD
Err...disclaimer: If I owned these characters, do you think I'd be on here? Exactly. I win.

Love conquers all, even when all is dark. Love is the guiding light.
"Fuu!"
Fuu's eyes filled with a light that none of them had recognized or seen in those emerald eyes. It was a glint of hatred -for those god-forsaken shadows that killed Ryuuzaki Umi, and massacred Fuu's youthful body- that shone in her eyes.
Eagle reached out for Fuu, but the green and white aura burned his hand. The wings of light spread backwards as the shadows.
Tears streamed down her face, thinking about all the horrible events that had occurred in the passed month in Cephiro. Her fists clenched tightly, so tightly that she pierced her own skin with her nails. A broken Angel, that's what she was.
"Ferio! What's happening to her?"
Fuu looked at the ground, where another shadow popped up beneath her feet and began to multiply. Those yellow eyes drove her off the edge. She screamed as loud as she could which filled the metallic corridors with a blinding white light. Wings spread the shadows dissolved in the bright light, which ended abruptly when Fuu fell to her knees…but didn't pass out.
Eagle ran to her side, "Fuu-chan! Are you- Are you okay?"
Fuu looked at the ground and saw remains of the shadows at her feet, "…They're gone."
Hikaru and Ferio ran back to the two knelt down on the ground and tried to comfort the slightly shocked Fuu.
"…They're gone…"

Are they really gone though?
Darkside strolled through her castle, observing the happenings of Cephiro from her darkened window. Noticing that the explosions around the small Autozam colony had stopped, which meant her shadows had also stopped.
"Ascot! Your shadows suck, what the hell happened?"
Ascot looked through his bangs up at the mysterious girl, "…I don't know…"
Darkside smacked her forehead into the window and sighed heavily, "If our little Fuu-chan has obtained her wings…! I'm going to CLIP YOURS!" She said with a threatening gesture towards his monsters.
He flinched slightly, "Yes Ma'am."

"Alcyone, has Umi shown any signs of movement lately?" Clef asked the middle-aged woman as she sat with a bored expression beside the bed.
She grunted slightly, "No, not the last time I checked."
Clef looked down at his book in his hand, "You realize…you and the others from the dead who have returned may not stay here if Fuu returns to Earth."
Alcyone looked up at him, "I'm not really concerned about myself at the moment."
"What about Eagle Vision…"
"Who the hell is Eagle Vision?"
Clef glared at his once-was student, "Eagle Vision is the leader of the Autozam Colony! His father is the ruler of Autozam! Show some respect!"
Alcyone sighed and looked down at Umi's still body, "How can I, I don't even know the guy!"
Clef sighed and left the book on the table beside the door, "You know…Fuu is deeply in love with Eagle."
Alcyone laughed, "She's a whore then."
Clef twisted his face and walked out. Alcyone with a huge amount of curiosity poked Umi's still body. Nothing happened. She puckered her lips and sucked her teeth out of boredom. Why was she given the job of watching some dead girl's body?
She stared over at the small book by the door, intrigued, she grabbed it from her spot on the chair. She flipped through it to realize it was filled with diary entries of Zagato, which made it even more intriguing.
"This is juicy!" She exclaimed flipping through the book quickly. She stopped at a page with a sketched picture of a young boy and a young girl playing by the fountain.
Young Ferio and Elantra are playing by the fountain once again…but Princess Emeraude knows that the time will come when she must give up Elantra…I'm sorry Princess…
Alcyone flipped the page again to discover that the rest of the pages were empty.

Ferio sat Fuu back down on her hospital bed, and patted her back to assure he was there for her. Fuu looked up, and she tried to hold back tears that she had been holding for so long.
"Ferio…I had a dream a while ago…"
Ferio sat closer to her, "What was it? Was it a nightmare?"
Fuu hung her head, "No…it was more of a memory…"
Ferio looked at her golden curls, almost wishing they weren't related.
"…You're my uncle…aren't you?" Fuu said looked up with her huge sad eyes.
Ferio hesitated, and then he nodded.
"My name is Elantra…isn't it…? I'm her…her daughter!"
Ferio cringed slightly at the thought…
"I killed my own mother! The Pillar!"
Fuu put her hands over her ears to block the world out. Shutting her eyes tight, she sobbed quietly. Ferio put his hand around her head.
Fuu stood up, and sighed. She turned around with a serious face on, "Ferio! We have to get back to the castle…I need my sword back! I can tell a much greater battle awaits us."
Ferio looked up at her, and nodded. She had become so much more strong-willed since the last time the Magic Knights were summoned to Cephiro. Although her tears would not stop, she kept as strong as possible to make it through to the end. Ferio and Fuu rushed out the room to find Eagle and Hikaru beginning to get weary for more shadows.
"Hikaru-san!" Fuu cried out, "We must get back to Cephiro's castle!"
Hikaru and Eagle whipped to see them standing at the door, and agreed.
Eagle began to run down the hallways, and motioned for then to follow, "The Speed bikes are down here! Hurry!"
It was eerily quiet as no shadows appeared around them, through the hallways or down in the hanger. Eagle quickly taught Ferio how to use the bike and Fuu leapt on behind Ferio and latched onto him around his waist. The hanger door opened to reveal an awaiting army of shadows, much larger ones, and ready to storm in.
"RAGNAROK!"
All four of them watched as a young girl dove down from the sky, and two white blasts slammed into the shadows. Annihilating the lot of them, leaving Fuu in awe. They soon realized that she had four pale green wings spread from her back, and two pearl white guns in her hands. She turned, and sad, but fierce blue eyes focused on them.
"I've cleared you a path, don't just sit there. Move it!"
Eagle and Ferio nodded and started up the speed bikes, and zoomed by the mysterious girl. Fuu looked back to realize that she was following, flapping her huge wings.

"Magic Knights! I'm so glad you're back!" Presea cried out as she hugged all three of them, giving Fuu an extra big hug.
Presea looked up and saw the mysterious girl detract her huge wings and enter the castle, she gasped loudly and stumbled backwards.
Hikaru widened her eyes, and tried to help Presea from losing her balance, "Presea! What's wrong?"
"Sh-She's still alive!" Presea
The girl's long scarf and her walnut hair flapped in the breeze from the outside of the castle. She twirled her guns and put them quickly in her holsters around her hips. Fuu looked more closely to realize that her armour was freakishly similar to her own. The Armour of the Magic Knights…
Hikaru turned to the mystery girl, "Who are you?"
She looked at the floor and smiled, "I'm Naomi…A once-was Magic Knight."
Their eyes widened in shock, but Presea regained her balance and walked over to Naomi and hugged her tightly. Her blue blouse and black pants did seem very earthen, but Hikaru and Fuu still couldn't believe it. There were Magic Knights before them?

"Yes, it's true."
Hikaru and Fuu sat in Clef's study, as he searched through a large blue book. A holographic image of Naomi and two other girls appeared from the book.
"Naomi was a Magic Knight…This horrible event with the Pillar did happen before. Although most of us were not around to see this happening," he said with a solemn voice.
Fuu
clenched her fists, "This…This is horrible! How long ago was this?"
"Two hundred and
fifty years ago…"
Hikaru and Fuu gasped, she still looked like she was the same age as them. Fuu remembered that Cephiro's willpower ability allowed them to live as long as they wanted…and look as young as they wanted.
Naomi entered, which intimidated all three of them in the study. Naomi smiled and greeted Clef quite formally, like she always had.
"Master Mage, how are you?"
Clef looked slightly saddened by her appearance, "I'm stressed with everything that's happening to Cephiro lately! It's driving me to distraction. But Cephiro has the Magic Knights…and you of course."
She looked over to a chair but didn't sit, "I'm not very useful. I've just been fighting through those beasties one by one to get back here. Cephiro is forever changing isn't it?"
Clef nodded and motioned for her to sit. Naomi sat next to the Magic Knights, her guns in her holsters made a clinking noise when she dumped herself on the chair. Her scarf seemed very oversized, and quite unnecessary, seeing as Cephiro was pretty warm even during dismal times.
"So! What have I missed? I see we have more victims of the pillar system here…where's the third?"
Hikaru and Fuu turned from her, and her bluntness. Naomi quickly realized that she had put her foot in her mouth and turned from them as well.
"She got her heart stolen by the shadows," Clef said, "She's not dead…but she's not alive either."
Naomi narrowed her eyes, "I'm not alive either, but I'm still fighting." She said quite mockingly.
Hikaru turned to Naomi who continued to have that cold look in her eyes,
"What do you mean?"
Naomi leaned back in her
chair, "I'm technically not supposed to be alive, but I am. I'm two hundred and
sixty four years old."
Fuu's eyes widened, then narrowed down on her, "You're not dead."
Naomi closed her eyes, "I should be though. I'm from Earth just like you."
"Where?" Fuu was determined to get something out of her that was degrading. She didn't know why.
"Munich, Germany."
Clef was confused by the Earth names, but continued to look through his book to find more information on her. Her eyes began to dart from one side of the room to the other and Fuu began to follow where her eyes were chasing. She saw 5 or 6 shadows creeping out of the books, but before she could say anything, guns were ablaze. White shots of energy smashed into the shadows, making them dissolve faster than any magic attack they knew.
"Ever since she was trapped here in Cephiro, she's been one of my greatest students. Although I don't tend to approve of her weapon of choice…it gets the job done, " Clef said not lifting up his head from the giant book.
Hikaru stared in awe, wishing she was as effective as her when it came to destroying the shadows. Fuu was also quite impressed by her agility and reaction speed, it came to her attention that her guns were no normal pistols. Gold and silver patterns had been embossed on the side along with a green jewel near the trigger.
"Magic Knights, it seems that you'll have some company for the next while," Clef said with a small smile on his face.
Fuu smiled, although still uncomfortable about the intrusion of another person in the castle. She found it odd that she was armed with revolvers of all things.
