Cardcaptor Sakura Themed Story
Chapter 5: Chapitre VI
(by Arcademan, added on 2005-08-18 11:10:52 AEST) [Discussion Topic]

The aftermath of the battles...

The Arcademan Universe...

"You have all of the pieces of BattleTech gathered up?!!" yelled Arcademan as his two comrades, Mystique Rose and Flora used their mystic powers to pick up any piece of metal and wiring on the icy ground of the Antarctic surface while he carried the mangled body frame of the android in his arms.

"I think that's it, Arcademan." answered back Rose, a slight tone of sadness hinted in her voice.

"Okay...let's head on back to the Arcade Brigade headquarters, post haste!" Arcademan's voice was loud and commanding as Rose opened a portal and the three entered into it. In mere moments, the portal opened up in the main room of their headquarters. Arcademan placed BattleTech on an open table as Striker and Tecknight entered into the room.

"This definitely doesn't look good." said Tecknight. He, along with Striker created the robotic hero and had a personal interest in the robot.

Arcademan looks first at the shattered android, then up to Striker and asked "Is...he going to survive?"

Flora turned her head and rolled her eyes upward. "Sheesh! Get a life, Arcade. You're calling BattleTech a 'he'...it's a robot! Not a living being like us." Her voice dripping with sarcasm...but before she could continue on, Arcademan walks up to the pixie and grabs her by her neck.

"Listen, you little bitch! Living or not, android or flesh, BattleTech is our friend! If it wasn't for him, most likely we would all be dead. You will not speak ill of him or else..." Arcademan was clearly angry and his grip was tightening around Flora's neck and she began to gasp for breath. Upon seeing her struggling for air, he released her and walked away. Flora quickly left the room, soft sobs could be heard.

Tecknight turned to Arcademan. "You know...that wasn't a nice thing you did."

"Spare me the lecture...what's the verdict?"

Striker was checking on some computer data. "Well, for starters, our emergency protocal seems to have worked. Once BattleTech realized the situation was critical, he downloaded his memory core and it's safe in our computer mainframe. It will take time for Tecknight and myself to rebuild him. Thanks to you guys collecting most of his frame, it won't be too long before he's up and running once more."

"That's all I needed to know. Notice how you also call BattleTech a 'he' too. To me, that is a valued member of our group injured...perhaps dying...whether it be any one of us." As Arcademan took a deep breath, Mystique Rose put her hand on the hero.

"Still...I think an apology is in order. Talk to Flora...please."

"Yes ma'am." was Arcademan's answer to the sorceress as he went to the next room to talk to Flora.

Meanwhile...on Earth-S...

Still somewhat stunned by The Darkness' lightning attack, which turned the World's Mightiest Family back to their normal forms, Billy Batson and his sister Mary looked in horror as Bulletman was already over with Freddy Freeman, his body stilled by the blast. He checked for a pulse, then started to perform CPR on the young boy. Caitlin O'Malley was also assisting the only way she could. He held Freddy's hand and muttered a spell. A light shined for a brief moment and then she started to shake.

"I can feel his lifeforce leaving his body. Freddy...please...don't give up! Fight!"

Billy and Mary made their way to everyone as Bulletman continued with the CPR. "Damn! He's not breathing and his heart's stopped. The hospital's too far away...he won't survive long enough!"

"We have only one chance...Mary, are you ready?" asked Billy.

"Yes. Cait...Jim...stand back! We're going to try and shock his heart back to beating." said Billy as both of them place their hands on Freddy's chest and yelled out in unison..."SHAZAM!"

The blast of twin lightnings turned the Batsons back into Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel. Once the smoke cleared, Bulletman rushed in and checked out Freddy.

"I'm getting a slight pulse and I see his chest moving up and down. He's breathing again...how long, I don't know but now we can rush him to the hospital." Captain Marvel picked up the lad and handed him to Bulletman.

"Jim...Cait...take him to the hospital. Caitlin used her magicks to created a stasis barrier around Freddy to protect him in flight as the two took to the sky toward the hospital. Bulletman turned to Cap. "Where are you going?"

"I need to have a talk with the Wizard about this dark being." As they left, Cap turned to Mary Marvel. "Race ahead and meet them at the hospital. If Freddy recovers and wakes up, I want a familiar face there with him."

"Thanks, big brother." said Mary. "and don't worry...Freddy will pull through this. Find out what you can about The Darkness." and on that note, Mary flies off to the city as Captain Marvel heads up to a place existing outside of space and time...The Rock of Eternity.

Tomoeda, Japan...a few moments ago...

"We have to help her! NOW!!!" screamed Sakura as she held Tomoyo in her arms, blood collecting on her clothes as Syaoran and Yue raced on over. Yue put his hand on Tomoyo's forehead.

"She is still alive...but barely. Time is of the essence. We must get her to a hospital fast."

"Wait!" said Kerberus. "Sakura can't reveal her powers to everyone, nor can we be visible to the public...we have to..."

Sakura interrupted him. "I don't care! I won't let my best friend in the whole world die. Let them see us!!!" Syaoran put his arm around Sakura.

"We won't let her die. Remember your 'invincibility spell' and then do this..." and he whispered to the young Cardcaptor. Sakura then wiped her tears from her eyes.

"Everything will be all right! Yue, if you please, can you carry Tomoyo?" Yue picked her up with care and then Sakura pulled out a card.

"TIME!!!"

Everything began to slow down then finally came to a stop, save for Sakura, Syaoran, Yue and Kero, who had changed back to his smaller form and the group headed to the hospital. An added effect was that Tomoyo was affected by the stop-time so now her bleeding had stopped...perhaps long enough to keep her alive. In a couple of minutes, they have arrived in the emergency room. As Sakura recalled the Time card, Yue changed back to Yukito and were able to get their young friend in a doctor's care without raising suspicions. While at the hospital, there were many patients from the recent tsunami attack created by The Darkness and the hospital staff accepted Sakura's explanation that Tomoyo was hurt during that.

In the waiting room, Sakura turned to Syaoran. "Thank you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have known what to do." said Sakura, trying to keep a brave face but not doing a very good job at it.

"She's in the doctor's care now...and if you want to cry now, I won't stop you." Syaoran said back with a slight smile as Sakura leaned on him and started to sob lightly.

Somewhere on three worlds...

The Darkness looked around his surroundings. "Very strange to share one mind yet appear at the same time on three seperate worlds." He saw the ocean, yet at the exact same time, also saw a forest and a glacier.

"Clow Reed...Shazam...The White Wizard...what the hell did they do to me? Though they no longer exist on their worlds, their legacies continue to protect the planet. If my body was whole, I could crush them all with one wave of my dark magicks. Such as it is, they were able to turn back my efforts. Little do they realize that the powers of Darkness are self-generating and in days, I'll not only be back to power, but I'll be growing more powerful with each passing moment. Then, I'll find a way to reunite my bodies together as one and destroy not only one but three worlds!!!"
