Exile and the Black Rose's Revenge
P.S: You'll have to read my Secrets: A new Hope story (in the Cardcaptors section) to understand what happened to the Black Rose group in the first place and learn about what caused their exile.
A swirling smokey, sphere-like structure, touched down on the foreign world and at once, the sphere dissipated, leaving four people standing around in amazement. One of the supposed-teenagers there was very tall, had short dark black hair, a crystal pendant and a somewhat evil appearance, another girl had auburn long hair and a moon shaped staff and the last one was a boy whose looks could kill, wore an electric-blue cloak, had a long deadly sword and shaggy coffee hair covered his eyes. All of them were evil and had black symbols on their foreheads.
"I can't believe that Clow Reed had exiled us from Earth!" yelled Madeline Talern as she looked at her shining crystal pendant in disgust, "I mean; we were this close to taking control of the Earth and he sends us back to our world which we came from!"
"Yeah! And that traitor, Mei Rei, decided to join the enemy's ranks!" shouted Sekka Avendale, as she accessed her Luna staff. "Wait," said Leon Sharren, the brutal teenage boy with an evil grin, "Clow Reed did say that if we returned to the Earth, we would lose all our powers, right? Well, we can still use our abilities here and cause trouble! He didn't say that we would lose our abilities if we were exiled here."But they couldn't believe their eyes as they stared at the scene before them.
The Black Rose immediately saw the village they once grew up in… To their surprise, their entire community seemed to have been ransacked by invaders and there were rubble everywhere. Many people were trapped underneath the looting and many bodies were lying everywhere.
"Who could have done this?" said Sekka in horror, "Someone had gone through our proud village and turned it into a landmine."
Forty years before, the Black Rose group left their world, the land of Shorin (whose borderline was next to the land of Clow) to spread their evil influences to other worlds. Over those years, a violent war was fought as the Shoraen people took more land and raided the Clow land. Eventually, the Clow people became desperate and their strongest sorcerers asked for a portal to be made between the worlds, so in case the Shoraen attacked they would travel between the worlds. Soon, the Clow people called for help and Federal Japan answered their call. The Federal soldiers caught the Shoraen people unexpectedly, tearing down the village and taking most of the people captive. Only a few Shoraen survivors survived the horror of the wars… And it is at this time period that the Black Rose was exiled to.
"Well, what do you expect?" added Madeline with an edge to her voice, "I, too, feel angry at whoever done this to Toruel. I remember that was where we used to practice our magic and that was our wise master, Tanor's house, who gave us the inspiration for our evil group." She pointed towards to a house that was damaged beyond repair. There was a faint cry for help as they all paused for a moment.
"Someone is crying out for help," noted Leon without any emotion, "Should we find out who it is?"
Immediately, there was a scuttling and an injured ninja with silvery grey hair crawled out of the fallen rubble. Sekka recognized the ninja; it was Kyro, the coward who ran out on the Black group when he had the chance to.
"Well, well. Isn't it Kyro, the spineless ninja who comes crawling back to us?" said Sekka with a perverse, malevolent voice. She looked at Kyro with certain disgust like someone who had found a dead rat in their kitchen. "Do you want to beg for mercy like you aught to?" Kyro's voice was weak and trembling.
"Please, Sekka… I have nowhere to go now. My family's been taken away by the
Federals and I ask for your forgiveness… I won't run away and I will serve your group with a vengeance, for I want my family back and I won't let them take me away." Sekka thought for a moment. Clearly, Kyro meant it and anyway, she felt a tiny bit remorseful for the pathetic ninja. Anyway, her group needed a new recruit, seeing as Mei Rei ran out on them when she joined Sakura's team…
"Ok, but you must promise that you will serve the Black Rose and never flee." decided Sekka. Madeline and Leon were shocked at Sekka's choice.
"Thank you," said Kyro with admiration. "I won't let the Black Rose down."
"Neither will I," stated a richly dark velvety voice. A young teenager with dark raven hair came to them, and he was dressed in a black sorcerer's robe with a scarlet cape. His eyes were like red torches in the night, bright and quick within his pale face. Jewels were worn like medallions around his neck and they noticed that he had the symbol of a black ring on his forehead.
"Call me Furai," purred the boy, his voice was surprisingly mature beyond his years "I am merely wishing to join your group also, seeing as Shorin, the land of my people, is destroyed. I will be loyal unto death and will be quick about any task you shall set me. I am among the last of the Shoraen and I wish to bring about justice for my people."
It was then that the Black Rose group heard someone talking to another person.
"We have to find the last Sakura feather for Princess Sakura to remember again." said a teenage male's voice. Leon's ears perked up. Princess Sakura Reed of Clow land has lost her memory! He thought he had heard about Sakura Reed from somewhere. He told the others who grinned maliciously when they heard the news.
"We will attack them- after we learn more about what they're talking about." whispered Madeline. The youthful voice continued talking…
"According to Yukko, we will find the last feather from an important person who lives in another world called Federal Japan. That person is the ruler of that world and is really powerful and has magic like Sakura. She's able to predict the future and cast spells on people, they say."
"But Li," said an older wiser voice, "Didn't the prophecy say that if you take the last feather then whoever has it will become ruler of that world! I as a magician should know… I heard it from the Ceresian King who I worked for."
"Yeah," cried a cute squeaky voice, "Mokona agrees! Doki, doki!" There was a slapping sound and the Mokona squealed with pain.
"Shut
up, you pinkish cute balloon!" yelled an angry gruff voice. "You
sound so annoying when you say 'Doki, doki.' did
you know that!" There was the sound of Mokona biting someone and
there was a yelp of hurt from the person.
"YEEOOW! WHY YOU
LITTLE BALLOON!" yelled the black ninja.
Mokona giggled and hopped away.
Aside, Madeline's eyes sparkled with selfish ambition. So did the others as they heard of the ancient prophecy of the person who gains a magical Sakura feather.
"We must find the person who owns Sakura's feather…" muttered Furai.
"The person who finds it first will become the ruler of the people…" said Madeline.
"And we must attack NOW!" finished Sekka.
