Messiah of the Century Legend
A CCS Fanfiction
Part VI
Part VI – The Fate turns the tide…
Why is it that fate always takes control of life? Is it the will in which all things are meant to start and end the way it suppose to be. Is there no way to at least divert the fate of a person to it’s programmed end?
As the smoke clears, a person stands between
the mysterious person and Sakura’s party, He aimed his hands at him and looked at him, as like wanting a fight.
“Stop destroying the town…” Kaede said.
“Kaede-kun!” Sakura said.
“Why you’re here? How come you sensed it?” Eriol said.
“I felt something disturbing, that’s why I came here.” Kaede said.
“That’s good…” Tomoyo said.
“So, you came here to stop me? Ha! You just came to get killed!” he said.
“Stop your impudent talk, let’s fight!” Kaede charges up.
“My… they’re going to fight! Please be careful Kaede-kun!” Sakura said.
“Finally… I will be able to see what Alastor’s abilities can do in battle…” Li said.
“Come on! Let’s see what you can do!” The man attacked.
“Master! Be careful!” Alastor said.
Then he disappeared.
“Huh? Where did he go?” Kaede looked around.
“His speed is even more faster than what he did the last time he fought against Li, he’s serious this time!” Eriol said.
“Oh no! What can we do Eriol-kun?” Tomoyo asked.
“It’s up to him to know what to do…”
Then, the man appeared behind Kaede.
“Ha! You didn’t expect me to attack at this angle! Now die!”
Scythe unleashes Death Wish!
“It’s over…” Li said.
“No way… huh? Look!” Sakura looked at the two.
Kaede held the blade of the scythe in his hand; a small amount of energy comes out from its hand, shielding him from the blade.
“What? It should have sliced you in half!” He was shocked.
“So that’s what Alastor can do… very dangerous…” Li said.
“Sorry, that attack doesn’t work.” Kaede replied.
“Now, take this!”
Sacred Spirit Alastor lets out a howl! Bandit Smash!
Kaede’s fists hit him with immense force that the ground shook for a few seconds. He’s thrown to a tree and was destroyed as well.
“Wow! That’s incredible!” Sakura said.
“I didn’t know that Kaede has magic like us. I even didn’t sense it, why? Is his power different from ours?” Eriol thought.
But the man got up from his attack and readies to charge his next move.
“Looks like I underestimated you… too bad, you’re going to even worse in your death!” He unleashes energy, so strong that everyone was knocked away.
“Oh no! He’s serious now…” Li said.
“Kaede-kun…” Sakura said.
“Looks like I’m going to enjoy this one… by the way, have you met one of my allies as you go here?”
“Huh? You mean that girl?” Kaede said.
--== Flashback ==--
“So, you’re the one who possesses Alastor… I’m sorry but it’s our ultimate goal to eliminate you!” The woman said.
“She’s serious! I better guard myself…” Kaede thought.
Alastor scans her abilities.
“Master! She’s very dangerous! I could sense her magic!”
“God of monsters, I call on one of the demons that plagued this land long ago. The body of the scorpion united to all cursed beings! Mandagora!” She summons a monster.
“What the?” Kaede looked at her.
“She’s a summoner! She can summon monsters to do her bidding!” Alastor said.
“This is not good…” Kaede charges up to attack.
“Now… you will die!” She attacked.
“Mandagora! The curse of endless suffering is inflicted to this being!”
Mandagora sprays Kaede a green mist that causes him to weaken.
“What’s this? I’m weakening…” Kaede feels limp.
“Master! This curse… Ah! It can be nullified. Please hang on!” Alastor said.
Meanwhile, She continues to beat up Kaede with her fists.
“Ha! You’re not strong at all, I expected to have a more serious fight than this.” She said.
“You… you cheated…” Kaede continues to weaken.
“Too bad. I do whatever it takes to win and this is how I eliminate fools like you!” She unleashes a staff.
“So, I’m done now right?”
“Yes… now die!” She tries to stab him with the staff.
But as the staff goes near him, a powerful light hit her, and then a refreshing circle of energy encircles Kaede.
“Huh? What is this light?”
“It’s a cleansing light. It recovers its user or anyone around it, it cleans the poisons or curses that may have inflicted upon that person.”
“Incredible. I didn’t expect you to have this power.”
“Actually, you created it Master…”
“Eh? Why? I didn’t even know that I want to produce it.”
“You don’t need to. Your heart speaks loud on what you want to do. Just believe, then I can do whatever you want to be. I am a Emotion Generator, I produce magic by your heart and soul.”
“It means that I can do anything huh?”
“Yes! And even more!”
Kaede wonders himself about the power he possesses, the woman however is unfazed at her failure at her attempt.
“This is not the way it supposed to be! I will kill you without remorse!” She said.
Kaede looked at her. “Do you think that I can be beaten by that so easily? I don’t think so!”
“You’re just bluffing! I know that I can beat you with my power! You haven’t seen what I can really do!” She starts to charge up again.
“There she goes again! Be careful Master!” Alastor said.
“I have nothing to worry about… As long as I can believe in myself, I can do anything!” Kaede said.
“Mandagora! I call you once more!” Mandagora comes near her.
“Now I know what your summon can do. Now, hit me with everything you got!” Kaede readies for action.
“Fool! Do you think that it’s the only weapon my beast has? You’re wrong! I’ll show you what it can really do!”
“Mandagora! Unleash!”
“I believe… I know I can beat her…” Kaede said.
A flash of energy comes to his hands. “So, this will be the technique I’ll be using huh?”
“Now, I will destroy you!” The woman built up enough energy.
“The powers of the cursed monster… unleash your terror to those who oppose us! Our magic will destroy all! Now show me your evil energy!”
“Here she comes!” Alastor said.
Mandagora Unleashes! Dark Banishing!
The monster rushes to Kaede at immense force.
“Now what you can do? Nothing! Ha Ha Ha!”
Kaede starts an incantation.
“The spirit of the Emotions, show me your powerful light! The fist of the pure energy! Let it howl!”
Mandagora shows its claws, and tries to slash Kaede.
“NOW!”
Kaede lets out a howl! Harken!
Powerful energy comes out of his fingertips, creating a huge energy sphere.
“That attack won’t work!” The woman said.
But instead, the monster is slowly disintegrating.
“You want force! I’ll give you one!” Kaede pours more energy.
Mandagora is being destroyed.
“No! How could you contain that much power! It can’t be!”
“Now you see why I’m not just an ordinary person.” Kaede looked back.
The energy destroys the monster and now hurled toward the woman. She avoids the attack, nearby cars are destroyed.
“I evaded it! Now, where is he?”
Kaede appears behind her. “It’s over now.”
His fist hit her face, blasting her out of the way, and then hit the wall. She was injured but still standing.
“So, the legend is true then? I got the look on how he pulled such off! This is not good.”
“If you want to live, get out of here. I got to save my friends.”
The woman jumped up and floated. “Thank you for your entertainment! I really enjoyed it! I only have to run away though… how embarrassing…”
Kaede looked up.
“I hope we meet each other again in the near future! I look forward to challenge you and your friends! Especially the one they call the Clow Mistress. Ha Ha Ha!!!”
She disappeared.
“She got away…” Alastor said.
“Yeah… but at least we showed her what we could do!” Kaede replied.
“Let’s get going now… Sakura and others are waiting…”
Kaede resumes running toward Penguin Park, as he runs he was thinking about what she said.
“The Clow Mistress? Who is that? Are one of them is the one she’s referring to?”
--== End of Flashback ==--
“So, that woman is one of your allies?” Kaede asked the man.
“Why yes… I was surprised that she lost… but fighting against you is truly unfair!”
“What are they talking about?” Tomoyo asked.
“She fought a woman… she also possessed immense power like that guy, but Kaede beat it? He must be something then!” Eriol said.
“Oh, what is really going on? It doesn’t feel right…” Sakura said.
“That woman lost? It’s really a pitiful effort by her…” Li thought.
“So tell me, why are you doing all of this? What are you really planning? There’s got to be a reason why this is going on.” Kaede said.
The man laughed. “Really? Well, all things and the earth must perish! It’s the only future it only has! Our goal should have been accomplished much earlier if it weren’t for the likes of you!”
“What? Me? Why?”
“Everything will end? This is horrible!” Tomoyo said.
“Hey! No one deserves to have that future!” Eriol shouted.
“Is… this what the dream has told me? No way! It can’t be!” Sakura cried.
“This is nuts! Who thinks the future can be controlled by you!” Li said.
“Ha Ha Ha! This is getting interesting… well that is the sad reality. Everything will end and there’s nothing that you can do about it!”
Kaede stepped forward looking at the man. “You know, what you’re saying… do you think that you can just control everyone’s lives like a toy? No one lives just to die! They live to be happy of their lives, not just someone that wants to play around in life!” Kaede looked at him.
“It’s too bad, you still hang on that… well I can’t force you to believe. But, you people are the ones to stop me! I will make sure that all of you will die in my hands, and witness the end of all!”
“Shut up!” Li attacks the man.
He looked at him. “Tsk tsk. You really want to die now huh? Well, I’ll oblige!”
“Syaoran! Please stop!” Sakura cried.
But he continues anyway.
“I’ll show you, what I can really do!”
“Your life is at end!” The man readies.
“Hey, stop it! You can’t fight him! You’re injured!” Kaede said.
“Don’t underestimate me… I’ll show you my skills… our battle… 'The dark blade, it has been summoned by it’s master to destroy, now it’s the sword that will cut the evil within!'”
Both are almost going to attack.
“Li-kun…” Tomoyo is worried.
Li Syaoran unleashes the darkness! Rapture Dosset!
The scythe unleashes False Memory!
Both attacks collided with each other. The explosion ripped through Penguin Park and destroyed most structures there.
The man felt weak after the attack.
“Ha, your blow is much stronger than I expected.” He fell to the ground.
Li stands looking at the enemy.
“If you think you can beat me well sorry…” Li starts to wobble.
“Syaoran!” Sakura run towards him.
“Oh my God! Li-kun!” Eriol also ran.
“He must be okay!” Tomoyo followed.
Li fell to the ground, it seems like that he’s tired after that attack. He was already injured and using that skill used up his energy even more. He lies motionless there.
Kaede looked at him, feeling guilty that he wasn’t able to stop Li from attacking.
“You don’t have to do that.” Kaede said.
“Heh, it’s alright. I’ll protect everyone from harm, even if it kills me.” Li said.
“Syaoran! Please be ok!” Sakura panicked.
“I’m alright. I just needed some rest.” Li closed his eyes. He was exhausted.
“Syaoran…” Sakura held Li.
“I’m glad that Li-kun is alright…” Tomoyo said.
“Yeah…” Eriol added.
As they looked up on Li, the man recovered from the blow he got from Li. Now he is furious.
“You have attacked me for the last time! I will destroy you all!” He charges up again.
“Oh no! He’s going to attack again!” Tomoyo said.
“The energy he released is much greater than before!” Eriol said.
“This is horrible…” Sakura cried.
Kaede walked in front of him and told something.
“You may be standing right now but you’ve weakened. I can sense your weakness flowing out of your body.” Kaede said.
“Even so, I still have more power than you ever realized!”
“So, let’s end this…”
The two rushed to each other, the force of their attacks shook the ground even more. They are beating each other to death.
“Your power is still the same… you’re a better fighter than I thought!” The man said.
“If it’s to save everyone, I’ll permanently destroy you! Quatar!” Kaede continued the attack.
The two hit each other and both of them are thrown away.
“They’re fighting with all of their power!” Eriol said.
“Kaede-kun… please win… ” Sakura said.
They got up and continue fighting each other. No one has let up with his attacks, only a few moments away from seeing who has the upper hand.
“This will end it!” Kaede starts another incantation.
“The blessing of the holy and the cursed has risen out from the grave, now releasing their divine and dark power. The anger of the damned be heard!”
Kaede lets out a howl! Varista!
The energy came out, firing multiple bullets hitting the enemy from all angles. He couldn’t hold much longer. He crashed near the slide.
Kaede looked up at him.
“Now… all ends here!” He now attacked again.
“Kaede-kun will win!” Tomoyo said.
“Incredible! His fighting talent is truly unstoppable!” Eriol added.
“It’s over now… thank you…” Sakura said.
However…
“What did I feel?” the robed woman said.
A sword came out flying towards Penguin Park.
“Oh no! This is the trial the sword has chosen!”
“Oh my… why it would do that?” another woman said.
Kaede rushed to finish the enemy off. A sword comes out of nowhere heading towards him.
“Look! What’s that?” Tomoyo looked up.
“It looks like a sword… ” Eriol said.
“OH NO! IT WILL HIT KAEDE-KUN!!!” Sakura is horrified.
“Master! Watch out!” Alastor said.
“What?” He looked up.
And…
The sound of a blade piercing through a human body is heard. The sword stabbed Kaede.
“Why? Why did this happen?” Kaede fell to the ground.
“Kaede!!!” everyone ran towards him.
“What is going on? Why did this happen?” Eriol said.
Tomoyo looked around to find the man, but he was nowhere to be found.
“He escaped…”
“Kaede-kun! Hold on! Please!” Sakura said.
Kaede’s eyes looked up the sky… seeing the stars.
“Is my life over? Will I die?”
