Part III
Part III – Alastor’s magnificent power…
Discovering one’s self is an important task in the game of life. Without it, a person will never evolve into a better human being. Yet, it’s one of the hardest things to do in life. People don’t want to change… never.
The two, Sakura and Kaede simply stared at each other. While Tomoyo and others looked and wondered, the two thought of something.
“This girl…” Kaede thought.
“This guy…” Sakura thought.
“Why are they looking at each other?” Rika asked.
“Well, I don’t know but we should be going now, we’d better snap her out of it.” Li said.
“Li’s right, right Tomoyo? Tomoyo?” Eriol looked at her.
“Ohh…” Tomoyo whipped up her video camera almost instantly.
“She’s not listening… as usual…”
“Her face…”
Kaede suddenly thought of something…
--== Flashback ==--
“Now, is she the bearer of the Clow Rod?”
“Oh no! How I’m going to beat this Card?” Sakura said.
“That’s the Thunder Card! It’s electricity is very powerful, it’s one of the more powerful Clow Cards.”
“Hey! I was going to say that!” Kero stared at him.
As The Thunder raced toward them, Sakura pulled out a Card that she thinks that will beat it.
“Are you gonna use the Windy Card?”
“Huh?” Sakura thought.
“I tell you, it’s not going to work against it…”
“NOW YOU! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO HER? DON’T YOU KNOW WHO’S SHE ANYWAY? AND WHY WERE YOU HERE?” Kero is furious at him.
“I don’t care, as long as I catch the card.”
“WHY YOU!!!”
The Thunder jumped toward them.
“Now what are we going to do?” Sakura thought.
“Do you have the Shadow Card?”
“Yes…”
“Well, we can beat that…”
After capturing the Thunder.
“Thank you… you helped me capture it.”
“You still have a long way to go…”
“Huh?”
“You’re too weak, that’s why you’ve only caught a few cards up to this point.”
“DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND? SHE’S STILL A KID! SHE’S STILL TRAINING!”
“I don’t care…”
He walked towards Sakura.
“I don’t know what they got in their minds… they chose a weak one to catch the cards…”
“But… but…”
“I’d better leave… it’s pathetic…”
“Wait!”
“YES! GO AWAY! SHOO!” Kero said.
As he walked away, he thought of something.
“And yet… I feel something about her…”
--== End of Flashback ==--
“Why am I thinking of that? I don’t know her and yet…”
“Huh?” Sakura looked at him.
“Eh?” Kaede looked at her.
“Hey! We’re going now!” Tomoyo said.
“Oh sorry… we will be going now… ” Sakura said.
“Sorry about that… well, I’m just new here… and I will be studying here…”
“Oh really? At what class you will be in?”
“Well… at class 4-2… ” Kaede said.
“Oh! Our class is also there! Will you be our classmate then?”
“Yes…”
“Nice meeting you…”
“Lunch time’s up! Hurry!” Chiharu said.
“Coming!” Sakura replied.
“You’re friends are calling you…” Kaede said.
“Yeah… I should be going…” Sakura hurried up to catch up.
“Wait… what’s your name by the way?” Kaede asked.
“Oh sorry… forgot it…”
“That’s okay…”
“Kinomoto… Sakura Kinomoto…” Sakura said.
“Suzuhara… Kaede Suzuhara…”
“Well then, see you tomorrow Kaede-kun!” Sakura ran towards Li and the others.
“Sure! I’ll see you!”
Kaede thought of something…
“Sakura? Have I heard that name before?”
Kaede left. Sakura caught up with her friends.
“Who’s that guy?” Chiharu asked.
“He’s our new classmate, his first day is tomorrow.” Sakura said.
“Really? He’s kinda cute!” Rika said.
“Well I think he has a girlfriend!” Naoko said.
“Let’s see tomorrow!” The two left.
“Boy, those two are something…” Tomoyo said.
“Yeah… sure is… ” Eriol added.
But Li thought of him in a peculiar way.
“I felt something… is he the one? The one that will destroy my dream? I can’t allow him to fulfill that prophecy!”
Sakura looked at Li.
“Syaoran?”
“Oh sorry, just thought of something.”
“Thought about him?” Sakura asked.
“Well… a bit… ” Li answered.
“Time to go now. Our class is about to begin.”
“Okay…”
“I’ll kill him when I get the chance!”
They went up to class.
As Kaede looked at the school, he thought about the person that looked meanly at him.
“Why did he looked like that to me? Did I do something wrong? I felt that I know that person a long time ago, but I don’t know when…”
Kaede left the school, that soon he’ll experience the year he’ll never forget.
--== Meanwhile ==--
Clow looked at a sphere that looks on the uncertain future that may happen soon.
“Things are getting worse… ”
“Are things doing well?” A woman asked.
“It’s getting even worse. The balance is slowly stripping away… and the negative energy is getting stronger… I feel the worst case scenario already…”
“It’s bad. But is it time to teach him now?”
“Don’t worry. The process seems to be slow, so there’s still time.”
“I’ll look forward for that…” She disappeared.
Clow continued to look in the sphere.
“You’re still too early… Syaoran… ”
--== On an alley ==--
Kaede walked alone on an alley to his home. Still thinking the girl he just met.
“She really looked familiar…”
Just then… he saw someone. It’s Saemi.
“Saemi-chan! Why are you here? You should be home right?”
But she simply stood there.
“Saemi-chan? What’s wrong?”
Again she just stood there. It seems like she doesn’t hear anything. “What’s wrong with her? Has she teased by someone or what?” Kaede thought.
But, she suddenly spoke.
“The woman you seek is not here…” She said.
“What? Saemi, what are you saying?”
“How foolish of you, just seeing your sister here doesn’t mean she’s here…”
“Huh?”
“You just fell into a trap!” Saemi suddenly flashes.
Kaede was knocked back from the force Saemi was creating.
“Saemi! Stop it!”
“You seem not to know a single thing… I glad if that’s the case… So DIE!”
Suddenly, spirits come out of her body.
“STOP IT!!!”
The spirits line up in formation and started charging up their weapons.
“GOODBYE!”
They fired. The shots raced toward Kaede. It seems like it’s the end for him.
“I’m done for…”
Then a force of light surrounded him and dissipates all incoming fire.
“Wha, What’s this?”
There, a figure stands in from of him. He can’t see the figure on who it is though.
“Surprised you eh?” A voice said.
“Huh? Who… who are you?”
“Let me tell you… you’re going on a long and hard journey for the secret of your power.”
“Wait… don’t tell me that I have power in me? I’m just an ordinary guy!”
“That’s what you think…”
Kaede thought about the dream.
“Hey… do you know why I have such weird dreams? Tell me!”
“I’m sorry… but I don’t know the answer.”
Shots are continuously hitting the barrier, it is slowly weakening.”
“There’s not much time.”
“What do you mean there is not much time?” Kaede asked.
“I was sent here to give you encouragement on your future journey, it is not too late, you can still can change the future that fate has felled to the world…” The figure starts disappearing.
“Change? Fate? Future? What are you trying to say?”
“Good luck…”
“Wait! You haven’t told your name or who you are!”
With one last moment, the figure said…
“Please save my one and only daughter… I beg you…”
She disappeared.
“Daughter?”
“I think you are finished with your chit-chat, now face your destined fate!”
The spirit fires a large volley of energy.
“This is it! I’m finished!” Kaede said.
“Don’t give up like that!”
“Another voice? This is getting weird…”
“Who do call weird? Anyway, I’m here to fulfill what Master told you back then…”
“Who’s Master? Do I know you?”
“There’s not much time to explain. I am your inner spirit, Alastor.”
“Alastor? I think I have heard that before. But I don’t know who or where I heard that.”
“So you really lost your memory just as Master suspected.”
“What do you mean? I have another life?”
“Let’s put it that way.”
Kaede thought about the dream.
“My dream… do you know about it?”
“Yes! Though it’s not the right time to learn all of the truth.”
“I see…”
“You hold the limitless power inside of you, I am merely an amplifier of that power.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Master gave the Alastor spirit a long time ago to someone who has potential to change the fate of the world. But to all applicants, You hold all qualifications. That’s why he gave you a life… That I cannot explain.”
“So, what can you do?”
“Depends on what you can do…”
“WHAT?”
“The spirit of emotion, Alastor, gains insurmountable power depending on its user. In short, your emotion is what I can magnify to energy. I convert emotion to power.”
“So I can do anything.”
“Yes… it’s up to you to teach me skills, I learn what I see…” “Well then, let’s see for ourselves what we can do!”
“RIGHT! That’s what I’ve been waiting for!”
As the beams hit Kaede, the whole place exploded. The ground cracked at impact. People see smoke at an alley and were frightened.
“What was that?”
“I hope it isn’t serious…”
As Sakura and friends walked toward home, they saw the smoke.
“Sakura-chan, what’s that smoke I’m seeing?” Tomoyo asked.
“You’re right Tomoyo-chan. I wonder what happened.” Sakura looks worried. “I feel uneasiness in my heart, it’s like someone I love dearly is in danger.”
Eriol felt something wasn’t right.
“There’s something not right.”
“What do you mean?” Tomoyo said.
“Someone’s in trouble!”
“WHAT!”
“I’d better look at it.” Eriol said.
“Wait! I’m coming too!” Sakura said.
“Sure…”
As Sakura and others went to the scene, Tomoyo thought of something.
“Sakura-chan, where’s Li-kun?”
“He went home first, he needs some rest.” Sakura said.
“But let’s try to call him just in case…”
“Sure…”
Tomoyo frantically calls Li.
Back at the alley, The spirit thought that Kaede is killed.
“It’s so easy, I haven’t dropped a sweat! I’m sure Master will be proud!”
But as the smoke clears, she was shocked at what she saw.
“No way!”
A figure appeared, it was Kaede, enveloped in a shield.
“Wow! This is nice!”
“You want a shield to protect you, I simply manifested it to real form. Now you’re tapping into your power.”
“Yeah! I’ve never felt better!”
“But, this is simply the beginning, you will learn more skills and attain powerful weapons as you slowly learn the truth.”
“So there’s still lots for me to learn?”
“Yes, but you’ll get them in time, now let’s teach that monster who they’re dealing with!”
“I agree with that!”
Kaede walked toward the spirit.
“Get away from me!” She continues firing beams, but no effect.
“You’re finished? Well, it’s my turn!”
“NOOOO!!!”
“Let’s go Alastor!”
“Yes Master!”
Kaede disappeared in sight.
“Where are you? COME OUT!” She fired beams everywhere, destroying walls and the ground, but there is no sign.
Kaede appeared at her back.
“Are you looking for me?”
He threw a punch that knocked the spirit down, struggling to get up, she tries one more move.
“Well, get a taste of my full power!” She charges up to full, a vacuum was created, drawing Kaede towards her.
“How can I fight at this form? It’s cheap!”
“Believe in yourself! Let your power awaken to unleash your skill!”
“DIE!” She fired a massive energy bolt.
“I’ve got to believe on myself! Time to pull off my skill!”
A powerful aura flows out of him, he suddenly said an incantation.
“Gods of wind and lighting, the howl of the skies and the force of thunder flows within my fist, and let it out in a force that’s unmatched! Let your anger flow out!”
Massive energy is charged at his fist.
“What’s that energy? It’s unimaginable!” The spirit said.
“Kaede lets out a howl! Bandit Smash!”
A massive blade flows out of Kaede’s hands and it instantly destroyed the energy bolt. It hit the spirit at a blink of an eye. She starts to disintegrate.
“I didn’t expect this massive power!” She disappeared.
Kaede, gasping for air, was glad that it is over.
“I did it! I can’t believe that I can do this!”
“You’ve made your first step! Congratulations!”
As he celebrated his victory, someone is looking on above the building.
“That power… it’s incredible…”
