Inside of the Arcade Brigade headquarters, Arcademan and Parrillusia
were still figuring out their last battle with the archmage Destrux
that occurred earlier nearby when suddenly Parrillusia spotted a
flash of light outside.
"What's that light?" said the pixie. "Is Destrux coming back to
finish the job?!!" As she started to go outside, Arcademan grabbed
her arm.
"Somehow I don't think it's him, PixieP. I sense someone...familiar."
Arcademan, still weak from the battle counldn't fully trust his
senses. "I'll come with you." and the two headed out to investigate.
Once the two heroes came to the site, they saw a lone figure standing
in the field...Sakura Kinomoto.
"Salutations, Arcademan." said Sakura.
"Sakura?!! Is that you? What brings you here to my world?" questioned
Arcademan who looked at the young teenager.
"Hmmm...strange. I saw her almost a half year ago and she seemed to
have aged almost four years. Time must've flowed different. The time
I met her briefly in her home it did feel like it was 1999 instead of
2003...that would explain it." Arcademan thought to himself.
"Whew! I'm glad you speak Japanese so well since I don't speak
English too well." said Sakura.
Parrillusia interrupts. "Actually, we wear translators that instantly
translates languages. You speak Japanese but we hear it as English
and vice-versa. By the way, my name is Parrillusia and yes, I am a
pixie." On that note, she pulls out a potion and sprays all three of
them with its dust.
"Now we can all speak English. Otherwise, if you wandered away from
us, no one would understand you, Sakura...except Japanese speaking
people."
"Thank you, Parrillusia. Arcademan, I had a very strange and
troubling dream about the both of you. You were in dire danger and
thought I could be of some help...like you helped me years ago from
that demi-lich Hextrillia."
"Well...we did have a battle earlier in the day however we're far
from being in danger, Sakura. I wondered..."
However Sakura cuts Arcademan's sentence short. "You were fighting an
armored being named Destrux, weren't you?!!"
"That's right...but how did you know that?!!" asked a surprised Arcademan.
"All I know is that I saw him standing over both of you defeated...a
stillness like death. It scared me seeing you like that, Arcademan. I
had no choice but to see if I could help you." Sakura's voice was
starting to break up a bit and she began to cry a little.
Parrillusia put her arm around the young Cardcaptor. "Don't cry now,
Sakura. I'm thinking you may have seen the future and maybe you
coming here was a sign of things to come. Come on inside...you must
be tired from your journey. It's rest that you need mostly now." and
the three went inside the Arcade Brigade headquarters.
Sakura laid down on the couch and was soon fast sleep. Arcademan and
Parrillusia went into the meeting room.
"You think what she saw in her dream will happen, Arcademan?" asked
the pixie.
Arcademan looked at his friend. "PixieP...we encountered many strange
things during our career and I trust Sakura. For some reason, what
she told us sent a chill up my spine and I cannot for the life of me
understand why..."
