Both: Okay.
"So how do we do this?" Kenta asked softly. "What's our approach?" The group sat at the banquet table in Luminia's palace. The table sat in the center of the banquet hall, a divine room with millions of tiny mirrors and windows reflecting the light from the outside sun.
"You have no approach Master Kenta." Luminia replied curtly. "You cannot defeat this as you defeated that computer program all those years ago. Only the seven warriors can defeat this darkness."
"Seven warriors?" Kari asked abruptly. Her crimson eyes were filled with confusion. "I thought there were only four."
"Oh no dear child." Luminia said quietly, her indigo eyes glittering. "There are seven. Moon, High Priestess, Devil, Strength, Fool, Hierophant, and the World. The final three warriors play a smaller roll in this coming battle but are all still very important."
"If there are only seven then why are the rest of us here?" Takuya asked impatiently, tapping his fingertips against the smooth marble table top. Luminia only laughed at him. "Am I funny?"
"No no dear." She said, chuckling softly. "You are just so impatient. Almost like a child. You remind me so of the Fool." She paused abruptly. "The Fool." She repeated. "Yes. You are the Fool. One of the warriors. Oh my, how could I have missed it?" Luminia shook her head, scolding herself softly. Takuya looked on with intrigue.
"The Fool eh?" JP said with a laugh. "Kind of sounds like Takuya doesn't it?" Takuya smacked his friend's arm playfully.
"Yes indeed." Luminia said with a smirk. "The Fool is one of the most powerful of the warriors, but plays a small role in the coming adventure." Takuya cocked his head, staring at Luminia. "What?" He shook his head.
"I remember something." He said softly. "But I don't remember where it's from."
"What is it Takuya?" Zoe asked quietly. The taller boy thought for a moment.
"A battle. Mortals against immortals. Imperfects and Light against the Darkness." He paused, looking to Luminia. She nodded her head, causing her silver hair to fall from it's loose bun. "So many dead. She sent out her greatest warriors."
"Who?"
"Silhouette. She sent out the shadow soldiers. So determined to win, yet so foolish with her battling. Luminia sent the four great warriors out." He looked over at the four girls and frowned. "They were badly wounded, only three came back alive. Moon was so determined to destroy the darkness, she stayed out in the battle telling the other three to go back."
Flashback
"Go back!" The auburn haired girl called over the raging wind. "I can handle this!"
"Are you insane!" The eldest of the girls cried. "You'll be killed for sure." The girl's brown hair flew out behind her, revealing her tearstreaked face. "I will not lose another friend to this darkness."
"Niether will I." The younger girl yelled back. Turning her back to face her enemy she attacked. "Crescent!" The light flooded the surrounding darkness but only for a moment.
"Dark whisper!" The attack came suddenly, throwing the girl to the ground.
"Moon!" The chocolate haired girl ran to her friend. The lunar child was badly burned and had an awful wound across her stomach. "No. No Moon. You're too strong to die like this."
"I'm sorry." The apology came out in a pathetic whisper. "I tried my best but it just wasn't enough." A tear slipped from her violet eye and fell across her pale cheek onto the bloody ground. "Take care of them Priestess. You must." With that the lunar girl died.
"No. No no no." High Priestess cried, shaking her head in misery. "Moon."
End Flashback
"She died defending this Existance." Luminia whispered, her eyes locked on Rika.
"If she died how is she alive now?" Kari asked the elder woman.
"Her spirit lived on. It inhabited one of my decendants creating another Moon warrior."
"So I'm not me?" Rika asked in confusion.
"No child. You misunderstand. You are very much yourself but you hold the great power of your ancestors." Luminia replied softly, with a smile. Rika nodded. "Now Takuya do you remember anything else?" He nodded.
"I remember how her spirit helped us in the final battle."
Flashback
"We can't win this fight." Fool called out to World.
"We must. Otherwise Moon will have died in vain." The older boy called back. "We can't have that now can we?" He said in a joking tone. His friend looked at him, concern etched into his forehead.
"You miss her." It was a statement not a question. World nodded. "It's okay man."
"Can you have your little heart to heart later?" Strength asked impatiently. "We're kind of busy." She motioned to the surrounding darkness. The two boys nodded. "Golden Strength!"
"Triumph!" World cried.
"Flute!" Fool paused, waiting to see what damage they had done. "We didn't even make a mark." He scowled.
"We're doomed." High Priestess said, shaking her head.
"Fear not." A feminine voice called gently from the shadows. "I give you my power." Pure light blasted through the darkness.
"Moon?" World cried out in confusion. "Come back to me!"
"I cannot." Her voice called. "My love be with you all."
End Flashback
"Sounds like World and Moon had a thing going on." Kazu said bluntly. Rika glared at him.
"We were very much in love." She snapped without thinking. Her eyes widened at the realization of what she had said.
"Yes you were." Luminia said with a smile. She glanced over at Ryo then back to Rika. "Looks like you still are."
"What do you mean?" Luminia just shook her head.
"Back to the task at hand. TK already knows he is the Hierophant so we just need the World." She looked over at Ryo.
"Me?" He asked in confusion, ganing a nod from the silver haired woman. "But that means Rika and I..." He trailed off in embarrassment. Both teens flushed slightly. "Erm. Can we be serious here please?" Luminia laughed.
"Sorry child. Yes you are the World." Ryo sank back in his seat, his face buring with humiliation. It was his destiny to fall in love with Rika, and destiny always comes through.
RG: It was okay.
Davis: Do you feel better now?
RG: A bit.
Kazu: Phew. Read and review please.
