Dynasty sisters
A/N: All right, I need to reply reviews so far so here it goes:
Iarly- sweetheart, I don't mind what you do in your story. I love it, and
I'm not someone to sue anyway
Rednal29- I'm sorry to see that your sotry has been taken off the servers. It did grow on me after a while, but i still think you should of done it in a different format. Script-form doesn't do much for alot of people, unless it's a parody
And I'd like to thank everyone else who reviewed, it makes me feel special
But I wish I had more, I start stopping to write when I don't get anymore...
Can't be bothered doing disclaimer, you already know I don't own MKR...But
I'm $100 dollars away from my dream...owning both the MKR box sets
...I'll shut up now...
"KIDNAPPED?!?" Yelled Ferio in disbelief, falling to his knees. Clef
grabbed and held his shoulders, before yelling orders, "Hikaru-san, get
your sisters. Tell them to meet me in the dining room!"
"Hai!" replied Hikaru, before speeding back down the halls, her loose t-
shirt whipping out behind her as the scuff-scuff noise of her slippers
disappeared through the halls. Ferio bit his lip hard, before whispering,
"Who...Who would do such a thing?" and a tear feel down his cheek, landing on
the cold floor below. Clef only closed his eyes and preyed to the gods that
the princess was safe. "Is everyone here?" He asked afterwards, everyone in the dining room, grim
looks shared around. Mumbled replies echoed slightly in the large room, and
Clef cleared his throat, "As you have heard, Emeraude-hime has been
kidnapped..."
"Get to the point already!" shouted Umi, still upset, her hands clenched by
her sides in rage. Fuu was on the verge of tears, her arms wrapped around
Ferio tightly, both of their eyes closed. Hikaru was sitting on the chair
nearest Clef, staring into space, Mokona in her arms, who was puuing sadly.
She looked up from her thoughts, hope fading in her eyes, "What can we do
to help, Clef-san?" Clef's eyes sorrowed, looking to the floor, "all we can
do is look for clues..."
"No!" Fuu objected, her eyes snapping open, blank and painful, "There must
be something else?"
"I'm afraid not, Fuu-san" Clef replied, his staff floating beside him like
a shadow, the white strips of material stiff and motionless. Eagle and
Lantis both looked at Hikaru with sad eyes, before something came over
Eagle, "...WAIT! Of course! How could I forget?!?" Everyone looked up,
Ferio's eyes opening slowly, bloodshot and puffy, a slight spark igniting
in the gold, "What, Eagle-san?"
"The Magic Knights! I read about them! The sisters will become the Magic
Knights!" and Eagle shot off, shouting over his shoulder, "I'll get the
book!" and sped back as fast as he left, an old and crackling leather bound
book in his arms. He dropped the book onto the table and waved his hand
over it, the book magically turning it's own pages like an invisible wind.
It fell onto a double page, a picture of three girls and their elements on
one, while information was on the other. Eagle read aloud, his voice
crystal clear, "The Magic Knights have been called upon in the past to aid
in the time of crisis. Their magic is distributed by a Master Mage, as well
as weapons, made by a great Pharl..."
"...The gloves...armour...they're apart of the prophecy?" Umi questioned, looking
down on her own, the sapphire glittering oddly. Clef stepped forward, a
smile on his face, "...I thought this was coming...a great crisis..." Hikaru
stared at the lavender-haired man, standing at least 2 foot taller than
her, "You saw this coming? You predicted the future?" Clef replied with a
nod, "A Master Mage knows a lot of things...the future comes to me in
dreams..." Presea smiled, "As soon as Clef-sama dreamt this, he sent his
messengers to search for me far across the land...He finally found me, and I
was told to find 'Escudo', a great ore found only in the heart of the great
lake Eterna. I wasn't allowed to touch it, which made the task more, how
should we say...difficult?" She chuckled, "...After that, I wanted to see my
goddaughter, and remembered she would be at the Hinagashi tournament. So I
wrote them a letter and told them I'd meet them there..." Fuu was putting
things together, "...So that's what happened at the tournament...we finally let
out true power show...Umi-chan's element is water, Hikaru-chan's element is
fire, while mine is wind...And that explains the colours of the Escudo too,
as well as Mokona..."
"That's right, Fuu-san, you were destined to be the saviour's of our land..."
Clef spoke softly, before a pleading voice echoed throughout the land,
"Please, save us...Magic Knights!" and the three girls were suddenly picked
up from their places, floating into the air, their colours glowing around
them like an aura. Umi screamed, arms and leg flailing, "OH NO, NOT AGAIN!"
and Hikaru had the same look on her face as when she first went into the
tournament with her new power, "What's happening to us?"
"We appear to be floating!" exclaimed Fuu, glasses almost slipping off her
nose. Umi sweatdropped, "Well duh, genius!"
"Calm down, you won't be dropped!" called out Clef, but it seemed like his
voice was far off, and it echoed in the girls' ears. Umi shouted back,
"Clef-san, please help us! I don't like it up here!" and she started to
sob...

"I'll see you in heaven, dear daughter..."End flash
Both Fuu and Hikaru made their way over to their oldest sister, and their
aura's melded as they held her close. Umi cried uncontrollably into Fuu's
shoulder, and Hikaru pleaded with Clef, "Please, Clef-san, Let us down...This
is a painful memory for our sister...doing what she did to Hikoro was
enough..." not wanting to hurt Umi more than he already had, let them all
down, running towards them swiftly. Bother Fuu and Hikaru let her go as
Clef took over, holding her to his chest, her ear near his heart. She
started to calm down as she held onto him tightly, eyes screwed up in pain
as she wept into him, "I don't want to fall again...don't let me...onegai..." and
she clung on for dear life. Clef sighed sadly, before putting an arm under
her legs and lifting her, his arm around her torso, and walked her to his
room, no one daring to follow.
"It's ok...your safe...Umi..." he whispered to her as he closed and locked his
door. She shook with fear, not wanting to let him go in fear of falling
into her past. He held her all the way to his bed, and sat down on the
edge, her in his lap. She finally looked up at him, her eyes blank and full
of sorrow. Her bottom lip trembled as she went to speak, "Clef..." but
quietened when he kissed her lips softly, pulling her closer to him. She
didn't reject, closing her eyes and kissing back. Clef pulled back, not
wanting to let the moment go, "Umi, I'm sorry for putting this burden on
you..."
"Clef, it's not your fault...if it was in your dream, then it had to be...I'm
sorry for crying before, it just brought back a painful memory..."
"Would you like to talk about it?" he asked softly, holding her head to his
heart again, lavender hair falling into his eyes. She looked up, her eyes
meeting his again as he stroked her hair, "...My mother and father... let me
survive..."
"...Hikoro was their murderer..." stated Fuu, now shaken with so many things
happening at once, Ferio still holding her tightly as she told the story to
the remains of the party. "...Only the Windom elites carry a silver arrow
like hers...and hers had a distinctive pattern on the arrowhead..." she let out
a heart aching sob, "...I was there when they were shot...all I knew was that
they had wronged the princess, so Hikoro was sent out to assassinate them.
Me, being me, followed incase she got into trouble. That was just before I
ran for it...we were so young..." and she chocked up, weeping silently into
Ferio's shoulder. Lantis was holding Hikaru in his arms, and Eagle was
leaning against Lantis shoulder, before Lantis put an arm around his
shoulder, hugging them both. Clef and Umi entered at this point, Clef's arm
around Umi's waist as they walked. Clef sat her down as he cleared his
throat again, "I found a clue to the princess's whereabouts...A note was left
on her bed..." and he showed them all, the letter appearing to be written
with red ink, before Fuu spoke softly, "...It's written with blood..." clef
cringed a little as he read it out,
"Hello, Magic Knights.
You're probably wondering where you princess is, ne? Well, my
dears, she's in safe hands. But not for long. You killed one of my best
assassins and you won't get away with it. If you wish to see you sweet
pillar again, meet one of my acolytes at the town square at midnight on the
night where the moon is only a crescent. If you do not make it to this
meeting, however, I'm afraid your princess will suffer the consequences..."
"She...is the pillar? The Pillar of all of Cephiro?" Lantis questioned,
holding Hikaru closer. Clef nodded, "Yes. Her good will is holding this
world together...if she is possessed or killed..." he shivered, "I'd hate to
think what would happen..." Umi stood, her eyes bloodshot, "We have no
choice...we need to go..." Fuu followed suit, "Yes, to save the..." she faulted,
"Princess..." Ferio looked up at her, and saw the mixed feelings in her eyes.
Hikaru broke away from Lantis's hold, "It's our destiny..."
"Fuu-chan, I don't like it out here...it's too dark..." trembled a little
Hikaru, all three of them holding each other's hands as they walked to the
town square, all of them wearing battle garb, gloves and armour. Fuu
squeezed Hikaru's hand, "It's ok, we just need to negotiate with the person
then we can go."
"Yeah Karu-chan, we'll be fine. And remember, we're the Magic Knights, we
have nothing to fear!" reminded Umi as she squeezed Hikaru's other hands,
shivering slightly form cold. Their eyes scanned for approaching people,
when something flashed in front of them, and there stood a girl about as
tall as Hikaru, with candyfloss coloured hair and elfin features. She was
also dressed in what appeared to be battle garb, consisting of a full-
length black body suit and plated armour. She gave a menacing laugh as she
saw the three girls approach, "So, you are the Legendary Magic Knights?
That's a joke..." she chortled, leaning against the faintly lit lamppost. Umi
frowned, "And who the hell are you?" the girl tutted, "temper temper, water
knight. Keep that up and your pillar will be dead faster than you can say..."
"What do you want?" Fuu spoke quietly, deadly venom in her voice. The girl
moved slowly, gripping the post with one hand and swinging, "Patience, wind
knight, let me introduce myself first..." she swung off completely, landing
in front of Hikaru, smirking, "I am Nova, Hikaru's dark side..."
"Dark side?" questioned Fuu, blinking.
"Yes, dark side. You two as well have a dark side...they're actually my best
friends...it's too bad they couldn't show, it would have been an amusing
reunion..."
"Just tell us what you want!" piped up Hikaru, her bottom lip trembling
slightly. Nova raised an eyebrow, and stroked her doppelganger's chin with
her pianist-like fingers, "Alright, my Karu-chan...Debonair, the empress,
wants the land. She wants all the land back, and she wants the pillar to be
replaced so that fear and anarchy reign..."
"You can't do that!" exclaimed Umi, letting go of Hikaru's hand, taking a
defensive stance. Nova waved a brushing hand at Umi, and she was thrown
back, hitting a near-by wall, knocking her out, "Shut it, water knight,
Debonair's already angry at you..."
"Umi-chan!" Hikaru called, and ran over, Fuu following. Nova hovered
behind, laughing. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, or the same thing will
happen to you..." Hikaru sobbed slightly, "Stop hurting my friends!"
"Oh, I will, when you give me what I want..." she replied, before turning to
Fuu, "My empress also wants to rule, so that means she needs to marry
someone with royal blood..." Fuu gasped, "No! Not Ferio-kun!" Nova cackled,
"Yes, sweet wind knight, you beloved Ferio-ouji!" Fuu let an aching sob
escape her, before striding to Nova, coming face-to-face with her, "...This
isn't about killing Koro, is it?"
Nova smiled, "No, far more in-depth...would you like to know the story?"
Before Fuu could answer, Nova hand pushed down on her shoulder gently,
making her knees collapse form underneath her, sitting her on the ground.
Nova followed, her pointed ears twitching slightly.
"Alright, the story of my empress...
Well, back long ago, when there was good and evil opposing in the world,
Debonair and Emeraude were rulers of their own right. They had each side of
the world, one full of disorder, and the other of peace. Debonair, was the
ruler and controller of fear, while Emeraude was controller of love and
charity. Both of them fed of each other's lands auras, so everything was,
as it should be.
Then, on one cold winter day, Emeraude decided to take a trip to Debonair's
land, to spread her love to all of Debonair's followers, in hopes to sway
them to her side, so that the world would be as one. Debonair didn't like
this idea, and fought back with great force, sending troupes of her men
across the great wall and to Emeraude's land, in hopes to fight her off.
She failed.
Emeraude won the war, and her aura spread across the world, everythinggoing into bloom and all the fear and destruction was no more. Debonair
went into hiding, to draw back her power slowly, until she finally had the
chance to seek revenge, to claim back what was hers. She tried once again...
Emeraude created the 'Windom elites', feeling that Debonair will try to
seek her revenge. Hikoro Kasahara was Debonair's seed, and she died with
honour. The bonus was that she made friends with you, Wind knight. She
supplied Debonair with information on every single person on the team,
including the princess herself. Debonair sensed that the Magic Knights
would be back, now that Hikoro was in play. So she made sure that Hikoro
made friends with you, Fuu Hououji, to find your strengths and weaknesses,
to find your hopes and fears, and to hopefully steer you into a darker
life. Your kindness and hopes of finding your family repelled that,
unfortunately, but no matter, Debonair's plan only backfired slightly..." Fuu
put the pieces together, "...So, if we do give you what you want, fear and
chaos will rule...and if we don't, you'll kill the pillar, which will cause
Cephiro to fall apart..."
"Damned if you do or damned if you don't" Nova summed it up in a sentence.
Hikaru sobbed violently, "Nova, may we have some time to think?" Nova
frowned a little, "Debonair thought this would happen...you have been given a
week to think on what you want to do...but the clock is ticking, and at the
end of the week, the time runs out...and so does the pillar's..." and with
that, clicked her fingers, the dim light of the lamppost going out as Nova
disappeared with it, leaving the three girls in the darkness of the night,
all but the moon, who smiled down on them like a Cheshire cat.
Alright, I hope I'm doing alright so far...please R/R, constructive critasism is noce when needed but flames will be ignored
