Messiah of the Century Legend
A CCS Fanfiction
Part I
Part I - The Legacy is born…
“What is this?”
“Where am I?”
A person found himself sleeping somewhere. He then woke up and looked at the place.
“Wait… How did I get here?”
He found himself on a top of a building.
“A building?”
He looked around. He saw the Tokyo Tower.
“Tokyo Tower?”
As he walked toward the edge of the rooftop, he saw someone standing at the tower.
“Who’s there?”
He saw a girl holding something, a stick or some sort. Beside her, three figures stood. He tried to look further, not knowing that he fell from a rooftop.
“NOOOO!!!”
Suddenly, he vanished. He now found himself on the Tokyo Tower, just behind from the figures he saw.
“Now how did I get in here?”
He saw them getting ready for something.
“I’d better get close to know what’s going on…”
But, a flash of light raced toward them. They quickly jumped away, but them beam continues to race toward him. He braces himself for the worst.
“It’s coming at me. I’m dead!”
But the beam passes harmlessly to him. He wonders why.
“Huh? It didn’t hit me. Why?”
Before he could blink, a battle has begun. But between what?
“Who are fighting?” He looked out.
There he saw people fighting. The four, which he first saw, are fighting against one man. The battle spread out, destroying most in the way. Buildings were destroyed. People die. Many things are demolished as they fight on.
As they fight, one of them fell towards the Tokyo Tower. He crash-landed near him, he looked on who is this person is.
“He’s too strong…” That’s what he said.
“Hang on… you’re going to be alright.” He said.
But the wound is so great, it’s impossible to get out of that injury. The felled man knew his fate and looked on him.
“I wish we could have beaten him before he becomes a god…”
“What? A god? You must be joking right?”
“I’m not, it’s too late anyway. The world is going to end anyway…”
“The world? No! It’s not true right?”
“It’s true, the Conqueror of the Century has successfully mastered his power. All of the elements, all of the lifeforce of living things, all of them, he sucked their energy and used it for himself. What a sad fate.”
“Can we do something?”
“No… He has found the secret to be a god. It’s too late now.”
He looked down on him.
“This world… this beautiful world… why it’s going to end this way?”
“Maybe, fate has given us this misfortune.”
He looked on the remaining people fighting this “Conqueror of the Century.”
“Why are they still fighting?”
“They’re looking for a miracle that will not happen.”
“Miracle?”
“They are hoping for a miracle. But it’s gone now. They’re chances are slim.”
As he said those words, another one fell. This one, at a street, the people screamed when it fell.
“I won’t allow you to win!” It said.
“Fool, you won’t give up don’t you? Well I’ll end your pathetic crusade once and for all!”
“Try me!” It tried to stand up.
“Too late!” He fired a beam toward him. With a weak body, he could no longer avoid it, and it pierced toward him.
His body disintegrated right before their eyes.
“NOOOO!!!” The girl said.
“KERBEROS!”
“Kerberos? Who’s he?” He asked.
“The guardian… too bad…” The injured man said.
After Kerberos is destroyed, the Conqueror looked on the two remaining.
“He’s gone. Who’s next?”
“DIE!!!” One rushed toward him.
“Hey! He’s trying to attack him!” He said.
“You’re slow!”
His hand pierced his body.
“YUE!!!” The girl said.
“Now, goodbye!”
His hand glowed inside Yue’s body. Then suddenly, it exploded. Pieces of his body fell from the sky.
“Oh my god!” He looked in disbelief.
“That’s what he can do… his power is unimaginable. He can destroy anything he wants to… that’s why we don’t have anything to fight against a god…”
“Kerberos… Yue… they fought with all of their power but compared to him, they’re just insects.”
After Yue has been killed. The Conqueror now looks at the girl.
“They’re gone. All of them are gone. So, what are you going to do now?”
“Even though it’s impossible to beat you at this point, there’s no way I’m going to give up!”
“Are still waiting for that miracle? That miracle is merely a legend!”
“That won’t stop me from defeating you!”
“You’re stubborn aren’t you? Well I don’t have any choice but to put you out of misery, forever.”
“SAKURA, STOP IT!” The injured man said.
“Sakura? I’m sure I’ve heard that name before but who?” He asked.
Sakura didn’t answer to his plea.
“I know that were doomed from the start and this world will end as the prophecy said. I will go down fighting!”
“Sakura…”
“So, CardCaptor, you want to keep on fighting eh? Well, it’s time to say goodbye to this miserable world!”
“If I die, I’ll bring you too to hell!” Sakura attacked him.
“You should have followed his advice!” The Conqueror said.
A gruesome battle rages on. The two fought with their best and pulled out their best powers.
“Card of light, let your shine defeat the great darkness! LIGHT!”
“God of power let your angry fists rain down those who oppose me! Heaven Command Charge!”
The two attacks clashed at each other. The energy those attacks create are so great, nearby buildings and people are vaporized in an instant.
“They’re all dying…” He said.
“It’s the end of the world, as it was prophesized…” The injured man said.
“You mean… it’s already written? That it can never be changed?”
“If the miracle happens, then it will be changed. But the miracle never came. It’s like fate has been cruel to us.”
“There’s nothing we can do…”
-= Meanwhile =-
“Is that the best thing you can do?” The Conqueror said.
Sakura lost lots of energy trying to avoid his attacks. Not even the Sakura Cards could match his awesome power.
“I tried everything but it barely scratched him. I’d better think on something.”
“Are you thinking on what you can do? You know my answer is? There’s nothing you can do! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!”
“He’s right, I can’t do anything…”
“If I were you, I would give up now!”
“NEVER!!!” Sakura said.
“Fool!” The Conqueror fired a beam at her.
“Divine protection, please protect me from the evil energy coming at me! SHIELD!”
The Shield Card blocked the energy beam.
“So, you used the Shield Card, Too bad, it’s too late!” He fired another beam at the shield.
“Oh no!” Sakura said.
The two beams hit the Shield Card with great force. The impact smashed the shield almost instantly.
“I knew this would happen…” The injured man said.
“Sakura…”
The Shield Card starts to break up.
“Oh no! The shield!” Sakura said.
“Oh, how fate smiles at me!” The Conqueror fired one more beam at it.
“SAKURA!!!”
There was a huge explosion.
BOOOOMMMM!!!
The Shield Card is gone. Huge smoke comes out of the explosion.
“The Shield… no…” Sakura cried.
“Without your shield, there’s no way you can win! Ha Ha Ha!”
The Conqueror disappeared. They thought that he left.
But they were wrong.
“SAKURA! BEHIND YOU!” The injured man said.
“What?” Sakura looked behind then suddenly…
“Gotcha!”
The Conqueror grabbed her.
“Oh no! Sakura!”
“Let me go!” Sakura said.
“Let you go? I think that’s the last thing I will do to you!”
“Even though we will all die. I swear one day there will be someone that will stop you!”
“I’m sorry CardCaptor, but that someone will not come!” He charges up his hand.
“SAKURA!!!” The injured man said.
“You will join with all of your friends, family and especially your love Syaoran! Say goodbye to your dream!”
Suddenly, the man thought about that name.
“Syaoran? Wait… that’s my name!”
“Huh? Your name?” The injured man said.
“Yes… my name’s Li Syaoran… I once lived here, but I don’t know why…”
“WHAT?”
“See you in heaven, no I mean hell CardCaptor!” He hits Sakura.
“NOOOOO!!!”
BOOOOMMMM!!!
Sakura’s body fell to the Tokyo Tower.
“With her gone… No one will stop me! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!”
“It’s over… now I can die…” The injured man said.
“Wait! You didn’t tell your name yet! Who are you?” Li said.
“Eriol… my name’s Eriol… If you are Li, then you’re looking at… ugh!”
“Eriol!” Li cried.
“If this didn’t happen yet to your world… then there’s hope…”
“Don’t die!”
“There’s no need for tears. I knew this would happen… Unless the miracle happen, this fate will not change… I wish I can change this fate…”
Li looked at him.
“What can I do then?”
“This “dream” you see is true… try not… to… make… this… happen… again…” Eriol is gasping for air.
“Eriol!”
“I’ll see you then…”
Eriol’s body went cold.
Li grasped his hand tightly.
“I wish I knew who they are… I somehow knew them… yet I don’t know them…”
“Do I have the power to change fate?”
“Syao… ran…” Sakura’s coarse voice echoed.
“Sakura!” Li ran up to her.
“I failed… I failed to change fate… I let myself open for opportunity…”
“You’ll be alright… just hang on…”
“Huh? Who might you be?” Sakura asked.
“Syaoran… Li…” Li reluctantly said his name.
“Syaoran? Your name sounded like someone I know… I know very well…”
“Why did these things happen in the world?”
“I’m so stupid… I failed… to become the master of the cards… they all revolted against me…”
“Cards? You mean Sakura Cards?”
“How did you know that?”
“I somehow knew them…”
“This world will be gone… Everything will be gone… all good things will be gone…”
Li sheds tears to Sakura’s fallen body.
“Why are you crying?” Sakura asked.
“Nothing… it’s just that I saw all these things and fate has fell to this beautiful world. It will never change… never…”
Sakura held his hand and caressed it in her cheeks.
“That warmth… It’s like being touched by my special someone…”
With her strength fading, she made one more plea to him.
“Syaoran… if this is merely a dream for you, then all of this wouldn’t happen… I will be happy that this thing never existed and I live a normal life with my family friends and loved ones… tell me… Will this fate happen again?”
Li tried not to say anything, but his conciseness got into him. He told the truth…
“It will happen again… and it will never change…” He said in a sad tone.
“At least I know now… I should be happy that I lived a good life… meeting with friends, getting together, and having parties and such… the joy of school… I will miss them…”
Sakura’s time is near. Li could feel her life draining away.
“Sakura!”
“Thank you for being here… someone to talk to before I die… I can go to heaven now… right Syaoran?”
“Huh?”
“That’s the name of that someone I love… he went to heaven before me… now I’ll join him… that way he won’t be alone anymore…”
“That will make him happy…” Li said.
“Yes… goodbye now…” Sakura looked up in the sky. She can only whisper one more time. “I love you… Syaoran… I’ll be there… you won’t be… alone… anymore…”
With that, Sakura left the world with her body and her tears from her eyes. Li couldn’t take the emotion he just got from this event.
“This… all of this… is sick…”
He looked at the Conqueror, laughing at his true victory.
“Now the fun begins! Ha Ha Ha!” He starts to disappear.
“Matte!” Li ran up, but stopped at the edge of the Tokyo Tower, he can only manage a peek at him. The face shocked him.
“NO! It’s not true! The one that will destroy life and all living things is none other than…”
He fell into his knees and cried.
“Me…”
Suddenly… he was whisked to another location.
“What’s next?” He thought.
There, he finally saw what happened after the ultimate victory of the Conqueror. All living things are gone. Plants, animals, people…
He started walking along the ruins of what once Tokyo. Now, it’s just ruined.
“So this is the aftermath… What a sad ending…”
He picked up a flower, now withered, no life. What fate it is…
“Well I guess it will end this way…”
“If only the miracle will occur, then this will never happen…” He remembered those words.
“What is that miracle?” He thought.
--== Meanwhile ==--
“Have you felt something strange?” A woman asked.
“I felt his presence… that power…” Another woman said.
“The one who possesses Alastor?”
“There’s no doubt about it… that means only one thing…”
“One thing?”
“Time is against him… he must get the Legacy…”
“Legacy? You mean the Sword of Legacy called Sparda?”
“Yes…”
“But, I know that it’s sealed somewhere… And no magic can break through it…”
“He must know his destiny before it’s too late…”
“But how can I find him?”
“He’s somewhere in a town called Tomoeda… Try to meet this person… I’m counting on you…”
“Yes sorceress.” The woman said.
But before she leaves, she asked one thing.
“Why will he need such a cursed weapon?”
“It has happened… the thing I’ve been longing for has happened…”
“And what that will be?”
“The Miracle that will save the world…”
