Cardcaptor Sakura Themed Story
Chapter 11: Chapitre 11
(by Arcademan, added on 2005-10-24 01:45:25 AEST) [Discussion Topic]


The Rock of Eternity...as the shadows form within the enclosure
caused by the flickering flames from the brazier, the wizard known as
Shazam finished with his story about he, The White Wizard and Clow
Reed confronted and defeated the entity known as The Darkness, all
Captain Marvel could say was "Holy Moley!"

"It took all of our collective powers to defeat the mage on the world
known as The Arcademan Universe. Since I was one of the two wizards
who could not destroy it, we thought it safe to divide it into three
and bury it for all eternity within each of our worlds. We knew there
was a slim chance if any that it could escape its earthly prison but
also took into consideration that if it did, it would be weakened.
Still, one with such seemingly infinite power...it's hard to guage
that kind of power and ability." Shazam turned back to the Historama
and clapped his hands.

"HISTORAMA APPEAR!!!" However unlike last time when he called upon
its vision, the screen remained black.

"That doesn't bode well, mighty sire." said Captain Marvel. "I guess
all we can do is wait and see when The Darkness will strike next."

Shazam looked deep in thought for a moment, then said "Black Adam...I
wonder where he is at?" Captain Marvel looked at the Wizard with a
puzzled look.

"He was at my side when we fought The Darkness...before he became the
man we know him as today. It was one of his first major battles as my
new champion. Though we won, he did have a hard time during the
fight. The other magicians had helpers too...Eclipse and Despair I do
believe. They teamed up with Adam while we wizards conjured up the
spell that laid the archmage low. If he finds out The Darkness is
back, he may either be an unexpected ally or teamed up with a common
enemy, hasten the possible downfall of our world. Captain Marvel, you
must return and deal with this. Godspeed, my son." As the flame went
out in the brazier, Shazam faded away.

As Captain Marvel exited the cave and flew from The Rock of Eternity
back to Earth, his thoughts turned back to Freddy Freeman, who was
seriously injured in The Darkness' previous attack and now in the
hospital, his vocal chords damamged, thus unable to speak and call
upon the powers that change him into Captain Marvel Junior.

"I hope Freddy recovers soon but without him, we have one less
powerful ally in our outcoming battle. Time for me to summon the
members of The Squadron of Justice."


--------------------

In the headquarters of The Arcade Brigade, Arcademan waited for any
news from Parrillusia. She had gone deep into the Plane of Higher
Existance to summon The White Wizard, the sorcerer who created the
heroes on this Earth. Over 500 years ago, he, along with the two
wizards from other worlds, help defeat and seal The Darkness and
since its return, Arcademan needed to know as much as he could find
out so he could defeat The Darkness. Suddenly, without warning, a
bright light flashed within the headquarters as Parrillusia showed up.

"About time! Where is he?!!" asked Arcademan in a menacing tone.

"The White Wizard will be here. Calm yourself down, Arcademan."
replied Parrillusia, in a calm and monotone-like voice.

Arcademan turned away from the faerie. "The world is in
danger...against an enemy from the past...a comrade almost
destroyed...and you want me to calm down, Pixie P?!! Yeah...right!!!
You know what your problem is? You're up there in the Plane high
above the mortal world like some sort of God. You're losing your
humanity...the way you act...the way you talk. You have some nerve!
Let me know when 'he' comes..."

As Arcademan left the main room, Parrillusia stood alone, a lone tear
streams from her left eye. "Maybe he's right. There was a time we
were very close...a bond that went further than friendship. Maybe I
need..." Before her thought was finished, another blast of light came
forth and stepping from it...THE WHITE WIZARD!!!

Arcademan returned when he appeared and spoke. "Nice of you to
return, Wizard. Now...who or what is The Darkness?!!"

"Are you sure it was him and not another villain from Lord Pyrogod's
Dark Dimension?" asked the White Wizard, wanting to make sure it
truly was his adversary from years past.

"You must really think of me as an idiot!!! I'M SURE IT WAS HIM!!!
Not many beings know of your existance and he called you out by name.
Plus his aura was not of one from The Dark Dimension. Remember...I am
also a Being of Darkness. The Darkness we encountered...he was more
evil...and extremely powerful. BattleTech was ripped apart and gave
myslf, Mystique Rose and Flora a hard enough time. Now excuse me if
I'm losing my patience but I need to know everything I can about this
dark fiend." Arcademan was visibly angry.

"My apologies for my doubting you, Arcademan. The Darkness came close
to destroying the Earth. Without the valuable help of two other mages
named Shazam and Clow Reed, we would not be here as we speak. Upon
hearing the name of the other two wizards, Arcademan's attention
wandered for a moment to his other-dimension friends Captain Marvel
and Sakura Kinomoto. Per Parrillusia's summoning the other members of
the Arcade Brigade, the other heroes filed into the headquarters.

"I'll tell you of the battle with The Darkness...over 500 years ago.
If he has indeed returned, not only is this world in danger...but
those two which at this moment may be experiencing the same senerio
as we are." On that note, with the Arcade Brigade listening, The
White Wizard tells the story...

--------------------

The cool early morning air had a calming, smoothing effect on Sakura
Kinomoto, after having a most terrifying nightmare. Still, her
thoughts were of her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji, laying in the
hospital bed after being injured in battle with The Darkness.
Fortunately, Yukito stayed with her for the night and had also
contacted her father and big brother Toya on the situation, assuring
them he was honoring his promise on keeping Sakura safe from harm.
Sakura looked around the empty street, it being so peaceful and
serene.

"Why can't it be like this all the time." wondered the young teenager
though something was bothering her. "It feels like I'm being watched
but I don't see or hear anyone around."
As she approached the corner
to another street, she decided to return to her house and try to get
some more rest. She was to return to the hospital and to get a hold
of Eriol Hiiragizawa, who was once Clow Reed a lifetime ago.
Hopefully he could shed some light about The Darkness.

As Sakura walked closer to the house, the street light she passed
under suddenly went out. A cold shiver went up her back as he
quickened her pace back home when without warning, two shadow
creatures appeared. Startled at first by their sudden presence, her
cardcaptor instincts kicked in as she grabbed her key necklace.
However before she could call upon her powers, tendrils of dark
matter began to wrap around Sakura's body, preventing her from
summoning her wand and slowly and painfully squeezing the lifeforce
from her body. She screamed but no sound came from her mouth. As she
began to black out, from the corner of her eyes, she saw a figure
running toward her

"Let her go!!!" yelled a voice....male in his teens. The two shadowy
creatures let go of Sakura and focused their attention at the boy who
came in charging at the two. Both grabbed the would-be rescuer and
soon he was enveloped in darkness. Sakura was gaining her senses.

"I can't let them harm that person!!!" and again grabbed her necklace.

"Key with the power of the stars...
Reveal your true power to me...
By the contract, I Sakura command...
RELEASE!!!"


As the key grew into the Cardcaptor's staff, she grabbed a card and
was about to summon its power when suddenly, a loud explosion rocked
the place where the two shadow creatures had trapped the boy. What
Sakura saw next, she couldn't believe her eyes...
