Arcademan:
Chapitre V

Before the newly arrived heroes from the Arcademan Universe could intervene in
the battle between the hero Captain Marvel and the villain Black Adam on the
planet known as Earth-S, nearby buildings began to collapse due to the
tremendous shockwaves of the punches being delivered. Arcademan motioned to both
Eclipse and BattleTech to rescue any people endangered. As they went to do so,
Arcademan couldn't help but think about the situation.

"Damn! Who would've thought the trail to find Santa would end up here. My
guess is those two blurs that went by us earlier were Mary Marvel and Captain
Marvel Junior. Though finding Santa is a priority, I can't stand by and let
innocent people get hurt."

Using their own super-powers and abilities, Arcademan and the others saved the
people and cleared any dangerous hazards however that would be only a respite
unless the two mightiest mortals could be stopped or at least move their battle
to a safer spot.

"I don't know how you got back here, Adam!" shouted Captain Marvel. "I thought
you wanted no part of this world anymore after the Darkness War!" And threw a
haymaker punch that sent Black Adam reeling for a moment.

"I don't need to explain things to the likes of you!" shouted Adam back at Cap.
"Suffice to say, I'm back and I'll turn your beloved Fawcett City to rubble when
I get done!" However before the villain could get back into the fight, Arcademan
flies straight into his back and pushes him toward the outskirts of Fawcett City
and into the nearby forest.

"YOU!!!" shouted Black Adam. "I swore the next time I saw you, I would kill
you!!!" as he grabbed Arcademan by the neck and slowly began to squeeze him. As
he gasp for air, Arcademan's eyes glowed and twin beams of heat vision struck
Adam's face, making him let go of the choke hold. As the World's Mightiest
Villain shook of the effects, he heard a familiar voice from behind. As he
turned, he saw Eclipse.

"Mighty Adam...why have you come back here? You told me you were going to
explore the far reaches of space and get away from the turmoil of this planet."
asked the heroine. Black Adam paused and then the two floated down to the ground
on the edge of the forest as Captain Marvel and BattleTech checked up on the
downed Arcademan, still clutching his throat.

"You were correct, Eclipse. Out in space, I was somewhat happy and content in my
explorations. Then suddenly without warning, a rip in the fabric of space formed
around me. I was sucked into it and for what seemed like days, I was trapped.
Then the world came back into focus around and the next thing I knew I was back
on Earth and in Fawcett City. My instincts took over and surmised that I was
brought back to take over this planet and that I can not escape my fate." Adam's
voice, before was filled with anger however the presence of his old friend from
centuries ago had a strange, calming effect on his speech and mannerisms.

"Holy Moley! You thought someone her was behind this?" questioned Captain
Marvel. "Maybe Sivana or Mister Mind could have..." however Cap was cut off by
BattleTech.

"SENSORS INDICATE THE SIGNATURE TACHYON ENERGY FROM SANTA'S SLEIGH. SPECULATION:
THE RIFT IN SPACE WAS CAUSE BY SANTA CLAUS."

Arcademan, now recovered, stood face to face with Black Adam. "You wouldn't
happen to know where it came from. This is very important to us and you help
would be appreciated. The lives of several million people are at stake on my
world."

Adam gave Arcademan a look that would kill, then turned to Cap and shot him the
same look. Then he turned to Eclipse and his stance soften. "I believe so
however the only way back is going to The Rock of Eternity." Captain Marvel was
worried about this since though the Rock of Eternity, one with the powers of
Shazam like the both of them can go to any place in space and time. Then he
spoke up.

"I'll contact the wizard to let you go...only on your promise that you will stay
away from Earth. Do swear you, Adam?" The former hero of the wizard Shazam
nodded in agreement. As Adam led the three heroes of the Arcademan Universe
away, Mary and Junior arrived...a little sore but none the worse for wear.

"Where's Black Adam?" asked Junior. Cap answered back. "He's gone back to
space...thanks to some friends. I'll explain at home but now we're overdue at the
WHIZ Christmas party." and the World's Mightiest Family flew back to Fawcett City 
as the sun slowly sank in the western horizon.

The Rock of Eternity...an impossibility yet it stands in the very boundries of
space and time. Its caretaker is the mighty wizard Shazam. The place's unique
ability to transend all points in space and time is well-guarded by the wizard.
As the quartet land at the summit of the peak, Shazam appears in his ethereal
form.

"Captain Marvel has filled me in on what has transpired and you are allowed to
access the Rock of Eternity on the grounds that you do not return, Black Adam."

Black Adam responds. "I'm doing this to help out an old friend and a planet
where I've done some good for humanity but mark my word, you senile old fool. I
won't return for now but when I do, you will regret all that you've done against
me!" With that comment, he flew around the Rock of Eternity, hauling his three
allies sealed in BattleTech's energy shield, mainly to allow Eclipse to regain
her full dimensional travelling abilities. The world went out of focus briefly
and after a few moments, it came back into focus as the four found themselves in
space, several hundreds of thousands of light years away. Almost immediately,
BattleTech detected the energy from Santa's sleigh.

Eclipse turned to Black Adam. "Thank you for all your help, Mighty Adam. You may
be marked as a villain here and you may be evil but you will forever be a friend
to me."

Arcademan added. "I know we hate each other's guts and I will get back at you
for what you did to me. Still, you helped saved our world during the Darkness
War and we are grateful for that."

The forms of the Shadowhawk and Firebird engulfed the three heroes and seemingly
a hole opened up in space and then they were gone. Adam smiled and then flew off
into the vastness of space.

After another blinding trip through the tunnel rift, the three heroes landed on
what appeared to be Earth once more. Arcademan looked around.

"Our Earth or somewhere else?" but before the others could respond, a big, white
puffy creature landed smack into Arcademan's face and uttered a single
sound..."Meyko!!!"

Arcademan:
Chapitre VI

Arcademan immediately grabbed the white creature by its long ears and pulled it
off his face.

"I don't believe it...Mokona?!!"

The white creature responed. "I don't know who you are but you grab my ears like
Kurogane does!"

As Arcademan set Mokono down and his two comrades came to his side, he saw the
shadow of four people emerging from the side of a mountain trailing leading up
to them. He glared at them and recognizes the group.

"Eclipse, BattleTech...these are the people who helped me defeat the aspect of
The Darkness when I was on Cardcaptor Sakura's Earth. They are Syaoran,
Kurogane, Fai D Flowright and Princess Sakura. Each one of them are from a
different world themselves." Once in view, the quartet of world travellers
greeted Arcademan, to whom they fought with during the Darkness War.

"Good to see you again, friend Arcademan!" said Syaoran shaking his hand. "I
don't know why you're here and what you're doing but it's good to see you once
more."

"I'm not sure why myself but we're on a bit of a journey through the worlds
ourselves looking for Santa Claus." answered Arcademan. The four gave him
puzzled looks.

"You know...Christmas, holidays, ho-ho-ho, red suit with a white beard riding in
a sleigh?" Now their puzzled looks turned into looks of utter confusion.

"I have no idea what Christmas is." said Kurogane. "Any of you heard of it?"

Fai chimed in. "No and I would have seen something as extraordinary as a red
suited bearded man riding a sleigh." Syaoran and Sakura shook their heads as
well but suddenly Mokona spoke up.

"Where I came from, we had Christmas, Yuko and I would drink lots of sake and
open presents on that day!"

Eclipse studied the landscape around them. "There was a reason we were
transported right here but I don't detect any traces of Santa. BattleTech?"

"SCANNING...SCANNING...IN PROGRESS."

Kurogane leaned over to Arcademan. "Your friend...he's not exactly human, isn't
he?" However before Arcademan could respond, BattleTech interrupted.

"SENSORS DETECT A HUGE SURGE OF ENERGY AROUND US. PORTAL OPENING IMMINENT!
UNKNOWN ENERGY SIGNATURE DETECTED!" As if on cue, portals appear around the
group and ninja-like men step out, clawed weapons in hand ready to do battle.

"Fei-Wang Reed!" uttered Syaoran under his breathe. "Mokona, keep Princess
Sakura and the other woman safe while we deal with these guys!" Eclipse shot him
a disgusted look. "Keep me safe? Do you think I'm sort of feeble female
mortal?!!" Without warning, Eclipse leaped in front of two of Reed's attack
force members and with a mighty punch, took them both out, their heads rolling
off their bodies.

"Robots!" exclaimed Arcademan cracking his fists. "I'm going to enjoy this.
Looks like Christmas is coming early for me...no offense, BattleTech."

"NONE TAKEN, MASTER ARCADEMAN. THEIR PURPOSE IS FOR EVIL AND MUST BE STOPPED!"

Pity the robotic army of Fei-Wang Reed for they face off against the mightiest
heroes and fighters of many world and in a painfully short time, all of them lay
dow in broken limbs and parts at the hands of Arcademan, Eclipse, BattlTech,
Syaoran, Kurogane and Fai.

"Wasn't much of a fight." exclaimed Kurogane. "You still fight the good fight,
Arcademan and so do your two partners there. Well done!" He gave a sly smile.

Fai put his hand on his chin. "If those guys attacked us and Mokona transported
us to this world, then their must be one of Sakura's feathers here."

Mokona bounced in front of the wizard of Seresu. "I did find it! I even said
'Meykko' and my eyes turned all wide!

"That's what you said when we first arrived here!" Arcademan said. "If that's
the case..."

"Then the feather's either around here or on one of you!" finished Syaoran. With
that bit of information, Eclipse transformed into the light of the Firebird.
Immediately a feather came of the tip of her wings and landed on Princess
Sakura, who fell back into a deep trance as the feather was absorbed into
her...one of her missing memories.

Moments later after Sakura had recovered, the two groups prepare to say their
goodbyes as Mokona begins to open a pathway to their next destination and
perhaps to another one of Sakura's feathers. Arcademan and Syaoran shake hands.

"Goodbye and good luck on your journey." said Arcademan. "Likewise, Arcademan."
he answered back. "I hope you find this 'Santa' person you're looking for. Safe
journey." As they do their fade-out from the world, BattleTech notices
something.

"MASTER ARCADEMAN...MISTRESS ECLIPSE...I AM DETECTING TACHYON ENERGY SIGNATURE
FROM SANTA'S SLEIGH. IT IS COMING FROM THE PORTAL THAT OUR ALLIES ARE LEAVING
THROUGH. WE MUST MOVE QUICKLY!"

As the portal carrying the five begins to fade, Arcademan, Eclipse and
BattleTech jump into it and as before, are carried through the depths of space
and time. After a few moments of darkness and swirling lights, the world focuses
once more around the trio as they land in a snowbank outside of a house. Looking
around briefly, Arcademan also notices two individuals in front of the house in
the act of kissing each other but were startled by their sudden appearance. Then
one of them turns to the three sitting in the snow.

"Is that you, Arcademan?" Stunned at first, he walked over to the couple and
smiled.

"Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li. We're on your world!"

Sakura hugged the caped hero from the Earth known as the Arcademan Universe as
the two have met on several occassions. Arcademan also shook the hand of Syaoran
Li as he was also familiar with Sakura's boyfriend since they were part of The
Darkness War.

"You remember BattleTech and I believe this is the first time you're meeting
Eclipse. She was The White Wizard's first champion on my world who knew Clow
Reed.

"Pleasure to meet you, Eclipse!" Sakura said in a pleasent tone. BattleTech."
She still harbored a grudge against the android since the last time she visited
the Arcademan Universe, BattleTech was trying to eliminate her over a slight
misunderstanding so her greeting towards him was unusually cold, even for her.

"So, how's Cher doing?" asked Sakura, referring to Cherry Blossom, the
Cardcaptor of the Arcademan Universe whom she met in their last adventure a few
months ago.

"She's fine but I have a more important situation at the moment. As much as I
like to say this is a pleasure trip, we're here on urgent business." answered
Arcademan.

"Let me guess...Santa Claus." said Syaoran, which stunned the masked hero and
his friends. "There was a report of a person dressed as him appearing at Tokyo
Tower appearing out of thin air in a red sleigh. Everyone thought it a publicity
stunt as he gave out presents to all the kids and then as suddenly as he came,
he disappeared. I didn't think much of it until you showed up."

Sakura had a puzzled look. "You mean...?"

"Yes, Sakura...that's the same Santa you helped out on my world a few years
back. His sleigh is running out of control and we're trying to catch him and get
him back before Christmas." As soon as Arcademan said that, a distant clock
started chiming twelve times.

"Oh no!" shrieked Eclipse. "It's Christmas already. That means we're too late!"

"Not too late for regrets!" said Arcademan. "Sakura, Syaoran, can you take us to
the exact spot Santa was?"

"No problem, sir! Fly! Float!" Shouting out the name of the famed Sakura Cards,
originally created by the wizard Clow Reed, Sakura and Syaoran took to the air,
followed closely by Arcademan, Eclipse and BattleTech. In seconds, they reached
the base of the famed Tokyo Tower. Being midnight in Japan, it was deserted save
for the five.

"SENSORS HAVE CONFIRMED SANTA'S APPEARANCE HERE AND I NOW HAVE A LOCK ON HIS
SLEIGH'S ENERGY SIGNATURE."

"Excellent work, BattleTech. Eclipse, ready to take one more trip through the
dimensional gate?"

"I'm at full strength and in complete control. Let's do it!" answered back
Eclipse however before the three could leave, Sakura tugged at Arcademan's cape.

"Syaoran and I are going too!" as the two stood ready.

"Okay, let's do it. BattleTech, use your force shield to protect yourself.
Sakura, use The Shield Card on yourself and Syaoran and I'll be fine. No need to
use the extra energies to protect me. I should be fine and who knows what we may
encounter next so we need to have as much power as possible. Eclipse, open the
dimensional gate and let's bring Santa home!"

As before, there was complete darkness followed by swirling light. Once again,
the world around them came into focus as they found themselves in some sort of
room and standing in front of the group of travellers was the jolly old elf
himself...Santa Claus!

"Ho! Ho! Ho! I'm glad you found me, Arcademan." chuckled Santa. "I had a feeling
Mama would get a hold of you and you'd be searching for me. You're a sight for
sore eyes. And bless my stars, is that Eclipse and Sakura? I'm happy to see you
both once more!"

Arcademan looked around in the room filled with unusual machinery and gadgets.
"Santa, do you know where we are and how we can get you back home to the
Arcademan Universe, which I'm afraid it seems to be now past the start of
Christmas?"

Santa responded. "Well...I don't know where we are yet I know where we are at
the same time, according to the gentleman and his companions I was talking to
before you arrived and I believe he may be able to help."

As if on cue, a man standing in the shadow walked into the light and confronted
the group.

"You are aboard my ship. I am The Doctor and I think there's a solution to your
situation."

Arcademan:
Final Chapitre

"Doctor...who?" responded Arcademan.

"No, just 'The Doctor' my hooded caped friend." he answered back. "These are my
two companions Amelia Pond and Rory Williams."

While everyone was exchanging pleasentries, The Doctor raised his voice. "Now if
I understand correctly, this person who claims he is Santa Claus but not the one
I know but one from another world and universe lost control of his sleigh and
was spiriling through different universes until quite by luck he came here and
attracted my attention, am I right so far?"

"Yes...except for the luck part. I do not believe in luck or coincidence." said
Arcademan.

"Well said, Arcademan...neither do I. Anyhow it appears his sleigh has a similar
energy frequency to my ship."

"CONCLUSION: YOUR SHIP IS A TIME VEHICLE KNOWN AS A TARDIS...TIME AND RELATIVE
DIMENSIONS IN SPACE...CAPABLE OF TIME AND SPACE TRAVEL.
SCANNING...SCANNING...THOUGH THE ENERGY SIGNSTURE IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, ITS
POWER FALLS WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF A TIME VESSEL."

The Doctor was shocked by BattleTech's analysis. "Your robotic friend is quite
correct. I am a Time Lord...last of my kind."

Eclipse responded this time. "There is a race of Time Lords in our universe from
a planet called Gallifrey but their purpose is to observe and not interfere with
the evolution of the universe."

While the heroes, Santa and The Doctor continued their conversations, Sakura and
Syaoran stood toward the back, the talk about different worlds and stuff way
over their heads, they were approached by Amy and Rory.

"So, are you two husband and wife, like myself and Rory?" Amy's comment made
Syaoran blush and Sakura nod her head real fast. Sakura tried to explain
themselves but the Doctor's companions couldn't understand her.

"My guess is that these two speak Japanese." said Rory as the Doctor reached
over to the control panel of the Tardis and pulled a lever. "Universal
translator. Now try and speak."

Sakura hesitated at first, then said "We are definitely not married!" Upon
saying that, Syaoran looked cross at Sakura. "What did you mean by that?!!" This
time it was the Cardcaptor that was blushing bright red. Their actions brought
the group to a laugh.

A short time later and a quick examination of the functions of Santa Claus'
sleigh, The Doctor spoke up.

"It does make sense now. Your sleigh is a Tardis of a sort. You're able to go
across the world in a 24 hour time span, it's most certainly bigger on the
inside than the outside because of all the massive gifts you collect. Only thing
I don't understand...how do the reindeer factor in and what's up with the one
with the glowing red nose?"

Santa leaned over and whispered to the Time Lord. "Merely show because what's a
sleigh that's not pulled by a team of animals, Ho! Ho! Ho!!!"

Eclipse was talking to Amy. So...Santa Claus and Arcademan being here...even the
robot BattleTech. You're remarkedly calm about such beings."

"Oh you guys? No problem. I've seen much worse like Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping
Angels. Compared to them, you're all normal. Besides, I've always believed in
Santa Claus." Amy smiled and that brought a similar smile to the face of
Eclipse.

Once again The Doctor commanded everyone's attention. "I can get you back to
your world but it's not going to be easy. I cannot travel myself to your
universe. The Tardis has issues doing that since I left someone I cared very
deeply for in such a similar place along with a piece of myself however thanks
to your robotic BattleTech, he gave me the specs and energy frequency to your
world so I can give you a push there. The rest would be up to you all. Ready?"

Before anyone could respond, The Doctor flipped a switch on the control panel
and the Tardis went spinning seemingly out of control.

"HOEEEEE!!!" screamed Sakura as she almost fell down but at the last moment was
caught by Syaoran. As the ship began to become stable, The Doctor opened the
door. Outside was a wormhole with immense cosmic clouds swirling about.

"This is your only chance, Santa. Time to return to your world." As the heroes
of the Arcademan Universe and Caprcaptor Universe jumped into Santa's sleigh,
Santa himself turned to his newfound friend.

"Merry Christmas Doctor, Amy and Rory...and thank you all for your help and
hospitality! Ho! Ho! Ho!!!" And with a sound similar to the Tardis, Santa's
sleigh took off from inside the ship and into the wormhole. Soon there was no
trace of either as the doors of the Tardis closed.

"Now that was interesting." said Rory, then he noticed by the base of the
control panel three wrapped gifts...from Santa to Amelia, Rory and The Doctor.
Each one picked up their gifts and saw a tag that said 'Do not open til
Christmas'. Amy looked dejected.

"But...it's July! I want to open it now!!!"

The Doctor hugged Amy. "No worries. How about a little trip back to the first
Christmas. I know a lovely pair named Joseph and Mary...something about a star
over Bethleham. They didn't know it was just the Tardis flying overhead."

MEANWHILE AT THE NORTH POLE...

After Arcademan, Eclipse and BattleTech left to look for Santa, Mrs. Claus
whispered a prayer for the safe return of her husband and the heroes, then
turned to Dingle. "Whatever you do, don't tell ANYONE that Santa's gone. If
anyone asks for him, make up an excuse or call me."

"Yes ma'am! Mum's the word! No peep from me, no sirree Bob!" Dingle headed back
to the toyshop. Mrs. Claus retreated back to the house to await news, not
knowing that another shimmering light appeared outside of the gates of the North
Pole. Out of the light came Santa riding his sleigh, along with his human cargo
of his friends of two worlds. As the sleigh came to a stop, Santa stepped out
and looked over to the North Pole. His shop and home was there right behind the
dimensional shield that keeps it hidden from normal eyes.

"Looks like that Doctor guy did it but according to my calculations, Christmas
day is almost done." Santa looked dejected as the others shared in his
grief...except the one incapable of such emotions, BattleTech.

"RECALABRATING INTERNAL SENSORS...GPS NAV-SAT IN ORBIT LINK
ESTABLISHED...RECALABRATION COMPLETE...INTERNAL CLOCK RESET...TWENTY-FOUR
DECEMBER 2011 1825 GMT."

"That means...we're back and according to Tech's info, we have plenty of time to
get ready for Christmas!" yelled Arcademan.

"So, what are we waiting for!" answered back Santa. "Let's do it!" As they
headed to his workshop, Sakura grabbed Syaoran's hand.

"Time for us to return home to our world." Nodding in agreement, Sakura was
about to activate The Return card but Arcademan interrupted.

"And where do you think you two are going? Santa's going to need our help and
you're both needed to get us through Christmas. Are you up to it?"

"You bet!" Syaoran and Sakura both yelled together as they joined the others
toward Santa's workshop. Much to the delight of Mrs. Claus, Dingle and the rest
of the elves, Santa was back though through their perspective, they were gone
only 15 minutes, not 24 hours. As midnight climed in the first time zone of
Earth, Santa was at full strengh and speed, covering his route with
lightning-fast precision as if he was a strapping young man of years past,
helped out by his close friends of the Arcademan Universe and the Cardcaptor
Earth.

As they returned back to the North Pole after delivering every present to all
the good boys and girls, Santa finally got a chance to sit down and take a
breather as well as the others. As Mrs. Claus passed out cookies and milk to the
gang, Santa spoke to them.

"You know...every year after I'm done delivering the gifts, I'm so beat that I'm
sore for months and wonder if I can get back into shape and do it again next
year. Strangely this time...I feel like I can do this for another hundred years
and I have all of you to thank for that...for finding me through space and time,
getting me back on time and finally helping me with my mission. Words cannot
express my gratitude to everyone."

Sakura stood up and spoke. "You're Santa Claus. No thanks are neccesary. I was
always taught by my father that it was better to give than receive. I knew we
could do it...zettai daijôbu da yo."

"Arigatô, Sakura-san!" answered back Santa as everyone clapped and cheered for
another successful Christmas run.

Moments later, Arcademan said goodbye to Sakura and Syaoran as she began to
activate The Return Card. Eclipse kissed both of them and then shined some of
her energy around the two.

"This will allow you to return about 15 minutes after your originally left your
world. Godspeed!" As they started to fade away, Arcademan shouted "Don't you
dare tell Tomoyo what went on! She'll be heartbroken about not filming any of
it!" The laughter of Sakura and Syaoran could be heard, then dying as the two
returned home. Arcademan turned to Eclipse and BattleTech.

"Time to go home." Eclipse hesitated when Arcademan said that, then turned to
him.

"Yes...home. Back to Arcade Brigade Headquarters for all three of us. I'll warp
us there fast!"

"No! Wait!!!" yelled Arcademan as his scream faded away as the three disappeared
from the North Pole with Santa and the missus watching the whole thing.

"Another Christmas adventure over. I can't wait until next year! Ho! Ho! Ho!!!"

THE END!!!
