As Parrillusia walked towards the two figures in front of her: a
woman in a form of an angel, a man resembling a demon, complete with
horns and bat-style wings...The Dream Angel, in charge of dreams and
The Dream Demon. who controls all nightmares.
"I need your help, Dreams. I'm desperate and you two may be the only
ones that can..."
"Enough, Parrillusia!" shouted The Dream Demon. "We are aware of the
situation!!!"
"Demon! Settle down!" The Dream Angel being the calming influence
over her darker counterpart. "Our brother The Angel of Death will
find taking Sakura Kinomoto's soul be most difficult. Come,
Parrillusia...we are needed on the mortal plane." And all three fade
out.
"Never felt so helpless in my life!" As Arcademan struggled to regain
his stance after being touched by The Angel of Death. Then the words
of Sakura Kinomoto played in his mind...
"Everything will be all right."
"If Sakura believed in that...then it must be true. Everything...WILL
be all right!!!" Arcademan stood up once more then sped between Death
and his victim.
"Stand down...NOW!!!" If you want Sakura, then you'll have to take me
as well!!!"
"So be it!" says the agent of Death. He reached at Arcademan however
a blinding light reflects his touch.
"What is going on? What has the power to starve off death?" said the
puzzled angel.
"Indeed. Look around and above us." said Arcademan as a barrier of
light surrounded both Arcademan and Sakura...its origin...all the
mystical cards have come to protect their mistress.
"The cards are the loyal servants and friends of the Cardcaptor. They will not
abandon her...even in death. Neither will I!!!" As Arcademan looked
around he could feel the presence of the Sakura Cards.
"You have been denied her soul, Angel of Death! Begone...so commands
Parrillusia!!!" said the pixie as she flew down from the sky along
with the Dream Angel and Dream Demon.
"You cannot dictate to Death, Parrillusia. The Cardcaptor is dead.
She is mine."
"NO!!!" bellowed the Dream Demon. "She is not of this world and her
death was not a natural one!!!"
The Dream Angel continued. "We conclude she is not yours, brother
angel. Leave the mortal plane less ye answer to the Dreams."
The Angel of Death looked at his fellow angels, then to Arcademan,
then finally to the still-deceased Sakura... "So be it. I shall
leave. Here is one parting gift." He pointed his hand at the girl and
his fingertips slightly glowed for a split second. Then he faded away
from the mortal world.
Arcademan bent over to pick up the body of Sakura, a tear streaming
from his eye.
"This still doesn't change the fact that Sakura is dead and it's
entirely my fault. I will never forgive myself for..."
Arcademan's statement is cut off by what sounded like a heartbeat.
Then he heard shallow breathing coming from Sakura.
"Come on, Sakura!!! You can fight it!!! Come back!!!"
Sakura, her body still craddled in Arcademan's powerful yet caring
arms slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Arcademan and
whispered...
"Every...thing...will...be...all right..."
