Prologue...
A warm summer's night, 2003...in the desert southwest regions of
Arizona in what is known as the Arcademan Universe:
Arcademan continues to fight his way through a wave of beings made
entirely of darkness...void of human emotions and a single desire to
destroy anything and everything in their pathway. In the background,
a lone figure stands by and witnesses the entire ordeal...for he's
the one to unleash them on the unsuspecting world. His name is
Destrux and he is a supreme Being of Darkness.
"Damn! Destrux is doing his best to wear me down. Problem is...it's
working." Arcademan mused thinking even though he may be successful
in defeating the shadow creatures, he'll be too weak to oppose the
archmage and possibly be destroyed.
"Hope my 'friend' got my message or my ass is history." as bolts of
energy surround Arcademan's fist as it smashes through three more
shadows. In the background, he hears the laughter of Destrux.
"Well...my old friend. It comes down to this moment. The rest of your
heroes are off planet on an adventure against more of my minions,
leaving this pitiful excuse of a planet ripe for picking. However, my
master Lord Pyrogod believes the key to taking over the entire
universe lies within this planet. Once you fall, the Earth is mine!"
"Now I wouldn't exactly say that, Destrux!" As the archmage turned
around, he noticed a figure floating above him...dressed in
pink...wings and glowing with electricity. It was the pixie
Parrillusia.
"So...you've come down from your lofty perch from the plane of Higher
Existance, you pixie bitch!" yelled Destrux. "What business of this
is yours to meddle in the mortal plane?"
"If you must know, Arcademan and I are forever linked. Our
relationship goes beyond friendship. Then again, what would a being
like yourself know of the concept of friendship?" mocked Parrillusia,
enraging the villain.
"OK, pixie. Have it your way...two against my dark legion. I will
still prevail!" as Destrux started laughing loudly, never realizing
that his laugh would echo across the dimensional rift to still
another Earth...specifically Tomoeda, Japan.
Nightime...Tomoeda, Japan.
The biggest worry for Sakura Kinomoto the last few days was what to
expect on her first day back to school as she enters the ninth grade.
It was a little more than five years ago when she accidentally
discovered the Book of Clow in the basement library of her father's
and unleashed the magicks that resides within the book. She accepted
her new position as Cardcaptor and captured all 52 elemental cards
with help from her life long friend Tomoyo Daidouji and Syaoran Li, a
desendant of the magician who created the cards Clow Reed. She
claimed all the cards her own once judgment was passed and converted
them all to Sakura Cards. Additional cards were created after that
ordeal and she professed her love to Syaoran Li, who lives in Hong
Kong and visits occasionally.
The last couple of years have been trouble free for the young lady
and has been for the most part has been living a normal life...a
shame that all of it will about to change for the mistress of the
magical cards.
End Prologue...
As Sakura slept what amounted to be a peaceful sleep, she began to
dream about how the first day of school was going to turn out. Her
best friend Tomoyo as well as most of her classmates of grades past
would be there as they make the transistion from elementary school to
high school. She also was having a sweet dream about her boyfriend
Syaoran as he was set to visit the following weekend from his home in
Hong Kong.
Suddenly the images within her dreams went jet black...followed by an
evil laughter, which seemed to echoed throughout the void of
darkness. A cold chill went up Sakura's spine as she continued to
walk through the darkness. After what seemed to be an eternity, she
approaches a light. Upon seeing this, Sakura looked through the light
and saw a horrifying sight...an armored being coursing with dark
energy and on the ground slumped over, two figures almost as still as
death. Again, Sakura began to shiver, this time more violently as
Destrux turned toward the lovely young cardcaptor.
"You came just in time, Sakura Kinomoto to witness the utter
destruction of Arcademan and Parrillusia. Once I'm done with
them...you'll be next!!!" and Destrux starting with his chillful
laugh once again.
Arcademan weakly pulled his head up and looked deeply into Sakura's
eyes...
"You're our world's last hope...please...we need your help..."
Those were the last words he would speak as the archmage summonned
large amounts of dark force energy. With a gesture, he aimed it at
the fallen heroes. A blinding flash of light was followed by a loud
explosion...
And Sakura Kinomoto wakes up with a loud scream...pools of sweat all
over her. She continued to shake, unable to control herself from the
horriffic dream she just had.
