CHAPTER FIVE
MEANWHILE IN TOMOEDA, JAPAN ON SAKURA'S EARTH...
There was a knock on the front door at the Kinomoto house early in the morning
right before the rise of the sun. Sakura ran down the stairs to answer the door.
It was her best friend in the whole world...
Tomoyo Daidouji.
"I came here as soon as I could, Sakura!" The two walked into the living room
where they were joined by Kero. Sakura then told Tomoyo everything about the
dream she experienced earlier.
"I'm not entirely sure what it all meant but it had something to do with our
mutual friend from another world Arcademan. There's impending disaster either
taking place or about to on his Earth. That's pretty much what I got from my
dream."
Tomoyo looked a little puzzled, then asked Sakura "I know Arcademan is a valued
and trusted friend and you saved each other's life here and there but
honestly...if there is danger there, why should it concern you? Not to sound
cold about it, heaven forbid."
Kero chimed in. "I said the same thing but it's not all that happened in the
dream. Tell her the rest, Sakura."
Sakura hesitated at first, then continued on. "During the dream, I kept sensing
a weird feeling. Fleeting at first, I couldn't tell what it was but after
awhile, I realized exactly what it was though I haven't felt that particular
feeling in years...I sensed the power of Clow Reed."
"That's impossible. You possess all of his cards and energies and the only trace
of Clow Reed left resides within Eriol Hiiragizawa and Sakura's father, Fujitaka
Kinomoto."
Kero was lost in thought for a moment, then suddenly he jumped up, which
startled both the young ladies.
"I remember what my former master Clow Reed said. There are multiple Earths in
multiple dimensions. That much we know. He also said that sometimes history
repeats themselves on them as well."
"Of course!" said Tomoyo. "Awhile back, we ran into that other Sakura and
Syaoran during the Darkness War."
"So...what the Dream Card was trying to tell me...there could be a Clow Reed on
Arcademan's world or even stranger...another me?" Sakura surmised. "I know the
last time I was there, I existed only as a manga and anime character created by
a group of women named CLAMP. I still wondered how that could be? In any event,
I feel that I was sent this message for a reason and that I must travel to the
Arcademan Universe to find out the true answers."
Kero flew in front of Sakura. "Whoa, kiddo! Don't you remember last time you
were there, you got yourself killed. I'm not going to let you go there...at
least by yourself. Let me go with you!"
"I agree with Kero, Sakura. The two of you can go. It's safety in numbers. Maybe
take Syaoran with you too since..."
"NO!" Sakura cuts the two off. "I'm not a kid anymore. I'm the strongest
magician in the world! I helped protect Japan from what would've been the most
devestating earthquake in its history. I know what I'm getting myself into and
most importantly I will not endanger my friends doing this. I must go there
alone."
Kero looked dejected. "I understand. I don't likke the idea but I do
understand."
Sakura turned toward the two. "I'm so sorry for raising my voice like that. I
care deeply about everyone here. To risk even one of you would defeat the
purpose of my trip. Besides, Kero can take care of things here along with
Syaoran...oh my gosh! I should tell him what's going on!" She quickly picked out
the phone and dialed his number but got only an answering machine.
"Tomoyo, please fill him in on what's going on." pleaded Sakura. "I'm leaving
immediately."
Tomoyo gave a brave face. "I almost wish this was like the good old days when I
used to make you a costume to your battles. Take care of yourself and please
hurry back!" The two hugged each other for the longest time, then Sakura walked
to the middle of the room and raised both of her hands.
"RETURN!" Swirls of bright magical lights seem to come up from the floor and
swallow the former Cardcaptor up. Such is her power now, Sakura no longer needs
her Star Staff or the cards themselves to summon them. Her might so impressive,
unlike the last time she went to the Arcademan Universe, she no longer needed
the boost from the Tsukimine Shrine, a holy place of immense power and faith. In
mere moments, the light faded away as did Sakura Kinomoto from her world.
The Darkness began to part away from Sakura as the world came back into focus
around here as she arrived back on Arcademan's Earth, just outside the fabled
Arcade Brigade headquarters.
"Won't Arcademan be surprised to see me. I need to tell him about my dream.
Wait! I see someone flying in the sky coming toward me. That must be him!"
However Sakura was in for a surprise of her own. Though the figure was caped and
dressed similar to Arcademan, it was not him...it was BattleTech, the android
member of the Arcade Brigade. He landed in front of Sakura and in a robotic,
montotone voice said,
"Magical energy detected. Sensors match the energy from disaster sites visted
earlier from Arcade Brigade members. Conclusion: this being is responsible for
disasters. Stand down and be taken prisoner or be punished!" as BattleTech
raised his wrist lasers and pointed them right at Sakura. |
