Guess there's no FanFiction Bot to auto-post link to new stories:
Arcademan: In the Cards Again... (new link) (http://www.capturedwings.org/fanfiction/display.php?sid=87)
Six years after their historic encounter, Sakura has a dream again about Arcademan and the fate of both worlds. What will be the final results, especially when a new Cardcaptor is discovered?
-
Opps, probably something I forgot to change when the boards where reorganized. Guess I'll have to fix.
Off to read :)
-
Chapter Two is now posted.
-
And Chapter Three is posted. Posted this one a little early since it may be awhile before I get to the next one. Enjoy :)
-
Chapter 4 should've been posted however I'm getting errors in posting it. At first only a few paragraphs appeared and there's no edit function. Now when I try and post it again, it's not copying my work correctly. This is very frustating.

Will fix later today :D
(adds it to today's to-do-list which is already massive :P)

Found the glitch and the remainder of Chapter 4 is posted as Chapter 5 though with the title Chapter 4 (part 2). Enjoy :)

Chapter 5 has been posted (under Chapter 6, natch...). Enjoy :)
-
Chapter 6 has been posted and coming soon...the story behind the story as I do a personal profile of the newest Cardcaptor. Also have some new artwork including sketches of Cherry Blossom as well as Arcademan and a grown-up Sakura Kinomoto as seen through my artistic eyes.

My apologies on delays in the next chapter coming up. Some unexpected circumstances in my personal life popped up but I'll try and come up with a chapter or two by the end of this month and thanks to everyone for their continued support :)
-
After some delays, Chapter 9 is now posted which has the origin of the Cardcaptor known as Cherry Blossom.
-
A month later, Chapter 10 is now posted as the villains are introduced and some of the pieces are starting to fall into place.
-
Chapter 11 is now posted and it may be the last one while I consider continuing and finishing it. Meanwhile, my partially written Christmas story will mot likely be re-written and updated for the upcoming holidays. Stay tuned for updates. Thank you.

Better late than never so here's a bit of a summarized version of the story and some points of interests:
Chapter 1
This of course is a possible future look into the life of Sakura Kinomoto through my eyes and as far as the timeline of the story, since it started in June 2011, I'd say around that time period since I obviously don't write via real time. Some of the natural disasters that have been occurring in real life are also happening here though from the looks of things, Sakura actually saved most of Japan from the recent massive earthquake.
Chapter 2
The Arcademan Universe is different than the Earth Sakura lives in as well as the readers and myself. Flashbacks to 'Legacies United' and its end though I never did complete the story (but we assumed that the good guys won, natch). We also gave a bit of how the heroes operate according to interference toward humanity and natural disasters.
Chapter 3
The introduction of a girl known at this point as 'Cher' aka Cherry Blossom, an actual Cardcaptor within the Arcademan Universe. In theory, certain events repeat themselves on the different Earths sooner or later (like the earthquakes, flooding and fires) so if there was a Clow Reed on one world, why not another?
Chapter 4
Arcademan finds out more about Cherry Blossom via her mom, Professor Elizabeth Blossom. She was at the ruins of Clow Reed's home in Japan as was her husband Professor Stanley John Blossom, who was killed in a cave-in at the site when Cher was only 3 (a reversal of Sakura's parents as her mom died and she lives with her father).
Chapter 5
Some references to the original 'In the Cards...' story plus in the future as hinted in 'Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle', Sakura no longer needs the Star Staff to summon the cards (in TRC, she gave her staff to her other-worldly doppelganger).
Chapter 6
Arcademan encounters Cherry Blossom for the first time in battle with The Watery and even assists in defeated the Clow card. Note the slight change in the cards as Cher uses 'Gravity' (a combo of 'Fly' and Float' in Sakura's cards) as well as 'Bondage' (perhaps 'Lock') and 'Vision' (which is 'Dream' on a wider scale).
Chapter 7
A bit more interaction between Arcademan and Cher as he learns more about how she came in contact with the cards. It's also revealed Cher is a tomboy who dresses up the girl part during her hunt of the cards. Sakura Kinomoto arrives in the Arcademan Universe only to be in the fight of her life by the resident robot-hero BattleTech.
Chapter 8
Flora the fairy returns to halt the misunderstanding between Sakura and BattleTech.
Chapter 9
Now we learn of the life of Cherry Blossom, how she came into the Book of Clow and her role as the Cardcaptor. Similar to Sakura's origin, she finds the book which opens up. When Cher said the name of the card out loud (Vision), it scattered the remaining cards and created the key and staff. (The staff itself is a mixure of both the original and star staff as shown in a drawing of it in an earlier post). Alas, no Kero or any guardian of the Clow was found and also there is no exact number of Clow Cards yet. There is some speculation that the voice within The Vision is that of Clow Reed himself. The circle surrounding the star on top of the staff glows completely when Cher is at full power and slowly goes dark the more power she uses. When in key form, the flashing light indicates full recharged power.
Chapter 10
The Dark Dimension is re-introduced as this is the home of the villains of the Arcademan Universe, one in particular named Destrux will make his presence known soon (those who read 'In the Cards...' know him as the being who killed Sakura last time she teamed up with Arcademan and Parrillusia). We also now know it's The Vision card that tells Cher what cards are next to capture.
Chapter 11
Arcademan and Sakura Kinomoto are re-united (they last fought together in 'Legecies United' as well as teamed up in at least 4 other times). Arcademan fills them in on the new Cardcaptor of the Arcademan Universe as The Earthy card creates a chain of disasterous earthquakes in Peru.
That's it for now. Thanks for reading :)

Okay, here are some notes and stuff for my recently completed "Christmas in the Arcademan Universe" story...
Prologue
Flashback to the original Christmas in the Arcademan Universe (http://www.capturedwings.org/forums/index.php/topic,1818.0.html) story I wrote back in 2003 (click the link to see the complete story). As I stated at the beginning of the new story, I had started this story last year but stopped shortly due to an unforseen family tragedy during last year's holidays.
Chapitres I and II
Had to re-write parts of this over last year, especially the part with Eclipse, who was gone per my "Arcademan: In the Cards Again..." story so I had to explain why she came back. Also kind of explained partially the end of the still-not-finished "Legacies United" story and what the heroes in the Arcademan Universe did last year.
Chapitre III
Last sentence of the chapter: "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..." This was part of the original storyline and my intentions was to have one of Arcademan's villains attack the North Pole while Santa and the heroes were gone. Why didn't I go that route? I had forgotten all about it. D-oh!!!
Chapitres IV and V
Earth-S (S is for Shazam) is the home of the Original Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family as well as the top villain Black Adam and the heroes of the former Fawcett Comics from the 1940's and 50's, now a part of DC Comics. If you've read my "Legacies United" story, that world was a big part of The Darkness War and both Cap and Adam played major roles in it. Though unfinished, Adam helped saved Arcademan's Earth but instead of going back to Earth-S, he left to explore the far reaches of outer space, far away from the heroes and the wizard Shazam.
Chapitre VI
Couldn't help but have Arcademan land on a world (unnamed in the story) where the cast of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle happened to be. If I had to place a timeframe on where they met, it would most likely be before the Tokyo Revelations story arc but also established they remember their past meeting on Earth-CCS, proving time isn't flowing normal during Arcademan's travels. Speaking of CCS, you all saw this crossover coming a mile away but the final shocking crossover was the last sentence of this chapter: "You are aboard my ship. I am The Doctor and I think there's a solution to your situation."
Final Chapitre
Santa's sleigh finally came to rest on of all places...the TARDIS. Doctor #11 (Matt Smith) and Amy and Rory too. Time became an issue as the heroes and Santa knew it was already Christmas Day back on Earth-AU so who else but The Doctor could send them back in time. Subtle hints on why he couldn't send them back himself keeping within the continuity of the Doctor Who series as well as saying it was July, well before Christmas and most of last season and before this year's Christmas show. Finally, that 'shimmering light appeared outside of the gates of the North Pole'...nice cop-out on my part for their return back home. I'd say that was planned but I'd be lying. Rushed it a bit on the whole gang helping Santa deliver presents but there wasn't much to add to that.
For those who read it, thank you. If you haven't read it, go and read it already!

I did post a new chapter (finally!) however there are some errors. I will be re-booting the entire story soon once the present one is deleted due to the non-existance of an edit function.

Re-posting the story little by little. I'm re-editing and correcting some minor issues:
