Magic Knight Rayearth--Ten Years Past RP

[dragonrazor]

At a tower in Tokyo, three girls meet with plans of visiting friends, unaware that they are about to accidentally take a young man along with them. The young man, likewise unaware that he is about to be dragged forcibly out of the world and into a new one, sits quietly on a bench in the tower, reading a book about swords. His name was Scott Shirow, a Japanese-American recently moved to Japan. He had on a black pair of pants, black shirt, and a black leather coat was in his lap, covering a sword he was trying to identify. He had just purchased it from an old man, and was hoping it was worth a lot of money.

 

[White_Jade]

Fuu Hououji sighed as she stared out over the city of Tokyo. It had been a long time since she'd actually seen the other girls, or anyone back in Cephiro. She really missed them, especially Ferio...

Not that she had much time to think about them. There was so much studying to do! Her backpack was full of books. Even in Cephiro, she really shouldn't fall behind.

With one delicate hand, she pushed her glasses back up her nose. "I hope they hurry..."

 

[dragonrazor]

Scott continued sifting through the book, wondering why he couldn't find any reference to the smithy mark on the blade. He knew such a thing wasn't possible, this weapon was forged by someone, and all swordsmiths were recorded in the book. So why couldn't he find the weapon, he asked himself. He growled softly to himself, closed the book, and stuffed it in a pocket on his coat. He looked out at the sky, wondering what had drawn him to the Tokyo Tower. He supposed it was because of the lack of crowds, but then, he had never had a problem with them. He closed his eyes, planning on meditating, when he heard a young woman's voice, almost seeming to be talking to herself.

 

[showdolly]

Umi was perterbed. She never ran late. Damned traffic accidents. Couldn't people just look where they were going? Would save us all a lot of headache, and time. She saw Fuu, and called out to her, passing some leather-clad guy in the process.

"Fuu! There you are! Sorry I'm late! Any sign of Hakiru? What's this all about, anyway?" She tossed her long, blue hair behind her shoulder, glad she'd remembered the body glitter today - the sun was making her sparkle, and she was sure it was quite a site under this massive monument in Tokyo.

 

[White_Jade]

Fuu blushed as she noticed hos passers-by were staring at the blue haired girl as she sparkled in the sunlight streaming through the windows. Why did Umi always have to attract all this attention? Privately, she felt real a little jealous. She could never be so glamorous or beautiful. "Hello, Umi-san." "It's been a long time, hasn't it?" "Are you well?"

She looked around, "No, I haven't seen Hikaru-san today." "But...it's not to strange that she's late, is it?" She shifted her backpack, and smiled tenatively, "I don't think it's an emergency or anything...I just think our friends miss us and want us to visit."

 

[showdolly]

Umi hugged the other girl as they greeted one another, nodding at her conclusions. Yes, it wasn't odd of the other to be late....

"A visit would be fun, absolutely. Besides, I know that I for one could use a break from it all - this world is so blah sometimes." She laughed, knowing how silly she sounded to anyone around her, talking about how blah 'this world' was. "Who do you think made the call?" She asked her friend, still not sure if there may be something wrong in the land beyond the gate.

 

[dragonrazor]

OOC: HIKARU >> <<

IC: Scott started to stand up, picking up the sword and his coat, and walked slowly over to the window of the tower, as they were on about the tenth floor. Very few people around, but something felt strange to him. He couldn't place it, it was like the very air around him was electrified. He also didn't notice the faint glow coming from the sheathed sword, as he was too intent on studying his reflection. Then he noticed the reflection of two extremely beautiful girls, who seemed to be waiting for someone.

 

[White_Jade]

Fuu returned the hug, a faint smile on her face. But imagine if someone saw them! It wasn't very proper...

"I had a dream where Clef-san asked me to return." She pushed her glasses back up to the bridge of her nose. "Didn't you?" "I don't remember more than that...I started dreaming about Ferio and-" She blushed brightly, then turned to look out the window.

"I mean, uh, that's the only message I got." "I hope everything is okay..."

 

[showdolly]

"Yes, well, sort of. My dream was simply the tower, glowing, and someone I didn't recognize calling us." She looked around, wondering if she'd see the face from her dream.

 

[dragonrazor]

Scott turned to look at the two women. Something seemed oddly familiar about them, and he couldn't figure out what. Even as he was thinking this, he stepped away from the wall, only to jump in alarm when a redhead with long, braided hair tapped him on the shoulder saying something along the lines of "Spying isn't nice".

OOC: Cue Hikaru

 

[White_Jade]

"Someone new..." Fuu frowned slightly. She didn't like that. Clef calling was one thing, but if they didn't know who it was. "You don't think it's a trap, do you, Umi-san?"

 

[showdolly]

Umi pondered, considering Fuu's fears. "A trap? No, no... I don't think so. I mean, the stranger didn't seem... angry, or resentful or anything. Nor did he seem in distress...." Umi wrinkled her face and touched her temple with one finger, crossing her opposite arm over her middle to support the first by the elbow. "I just don't know, Fuu. Maybe this trek we are beginning - maybe it's neither troublesome nor fearful, yet more than just a vacation. Maybe this time we are to learn about ourselves, and each other." She was deep in thought when she recognized Hikaru's voice.

Turning to find the girl, she spied her talking to.... NO! It couldn't be! Was it... the stranger?? Umi shot her glance immediately back to Fuu, unsure of what to say.

 

[White_Jade]

Umi seemed a bit alarmed now, despite her words. Fuu looked over her shoulder to see Hikaru confronting a leather clad youth, who was holding something very odd with his jacket over it. "Umi-san...do you recognize him from the dream?"

She was a little scared. In Cephiro she had magic and her weapon, but here she was just a girl. He looked strong, and that thing that his jacket was covering could easily be a weapon.

 

[showdolly]

Umi only nodded, now staring at Hikaru with the man. They were chatting, and he seemed friendly - at least, Hikaru seemed to think so. Umi squinted, and now answered Fuu's previous question. "Yes. Yes, Fuu - that's him. Most definately, that's him.... Who is he?" She really didn't expect that Fuu would know, and in fact probably had only been asking the air around her. Sometimes it spoke, you know.

She cocked her head from Fuu to the two, motioning for the other girl to come with her as she began to approah Hikaru and the stranger.

 

[SSJSonGoku]

Lantis was on the training field of the Castle... together with Lafarga... having a duel... or better... Zagato's brother was giving some lessons and tips to his friend... that had succeded him as Head of the Royal Guards when he had disappeared... Not that the "job" was needed anymore... the function of that order was to protect Princess Emeraude... but now she was dead...

Lantis was the most powerful swordsman of Cephiro... and the only swordsman in existence also capable of using Magic... Clef had stated that he was as powerful as his brother...

As the two fenced... suddenly Lantis made a swift move with his wrist... and sent Lafarga's sword flying high into the sky... landing then into the ground... the tip embedded into it... "Mmm... not bad my friend... but you should always keep your guard up... even when it seems that your opponent can't do anything against you..." commented Lantis smiling...

"Yeah... you are right... Eheh... And you didn't even need to use Magic... to win... Well except for having summoned your sword..." answered Lafarga... smiling too... "Next time I'll win tho!" he then added...

"Well, it could be... who knows?" answered Lantis...

In the meanwhile Primera... Lantis's loyal guardian Fairy... and in love with him... watched silently... smiling for the skills of the person she loved...

Lantis and Lafarga resumed their training... oblivious to the fact that the three girls... were going to come back to Cephiro... Lantis missed them... and especially... his Hikaru... very much... They were both very shy... so it took them a lot to express their feelings for each other... But... he had feared he would have never seen her again... after she had gone back to her world...

 

[showdolly]

"Umm, hey Hikaru.... What's up? Who's this?" She looked at the stranger. Closer now, she was sure and she nodded her head at Fuu. Yes, this was the man from her dream. and he was quite handsome, if she did say so herself. But, she said nothing before she turned to Fuu with a look in her eye to convey a message.

Weren't they supposed to travel to the other side? How would they get there with this stranger hanging about the portal? But, maybe he was meant to go with them.... And, what of the item he was concealing - a weapon? Was he friendly, or would they be bringing an enemy to their beloved world....

 

[Dragonlady]

Hikaru

She stood there sucking on her lollie , Looking about as innocent as Possible.. She didn't know who he was, when She asked if he was spying all she could think of was a smarm comment to him she stoped sucking on her Lollie pop " You know it really is hard to spy in broad day light maybe you should try something different , But if it was girls you were ogling will I can't say much about that .." she smiled at him

Looking over at her friend who asked who the guy was, "I'm not sure, he doesn't have manners to interduce him self" she hander her friend a sucker and smile at her let her see the twinkle in her eyes of pure Orneriness.

 

[dragonrazor]

Scott slowly managed to calm his racing heart, and shook his head. He took a few deep breaths, then bowed slightly. Upon straightening, he remembered his manners, and spoke calmly and quietly. He ignored the redhead’s comment about spying, and ogling girls, and pulled his coat off from around the sword and scabbard, pulling it on. It was getting to be that time of year, and he would need it should he go outside again. He spoke quietly.

“My name is Scott Shirow, and I was wondering if any of you girls might recognize this sword. I’m trying to figure out who made it. I just bought it at an old shop. I was looking through an old book on swordsmiths, but found no mention of the brand on it.”

 

[Dragonlady]

Hikaru

She looks at the sword" I'm Hikaru by the way , I have never seen a sword like that may I look at it please " Something was different about this sword not sure what to do .. Maybe the old smither would know it...

He handed her the swords, She watched her friends movein away from her as she started to test the sword. Moveing it through the movements she was taught she .. Flipped it in the air and and caught it Handing it back to him.. " I would see the Master Smither him may be able to Help you enless you can find a wizard" she smiled at him

Looking at her friends she just poped the sucker back in her mouth and leaned against the wall..

 

[showdolly]

Umi tried to control her laugh as she swapped eyes with Fuu. Hikaru was such a joker sometimes! Umi knew that the boy - Scott, he'd said - would know nothing of the smither, let alone of wizards. She smiled sweetly at him, confident now that he was clueless, and harmless. "I'm Umi, and you'll have to excuse my friend.... She's a bit of a nutcase." Umi looked past Scott and winked at Hikaru. A nutcase and a flirt, Umi thought.

"Could I see that?" She held her hand out, and recognized it immediately. She whispered to Fuu, knowing the other two could over hear her anyway. "This was in my dream as well, and the stranger - he - had it and was waving it around in the air. I wonder if someone needs this...?" Her voice trailed off, knowing that she, too, now sounded like a lunatic to Scott. "It's very nice, thank you for letting me see it Scott." She handed it back to him shyly.

 

[dragonrazor]

Scott raised an eyebrow, then shrugged, holding the sword by the scabbard. He raised an eyebrow at the antics of the two young women, and shook his head. These three reminded him of his mother's family. Especially that wierd girl who always insisted on him learning how to use swords the hard way. He closed his eyes, thinking, then winced slightly, as the sword started to activate the gateway to Cephiro. His body was unused to the phasing that would happen, and so he felt strange, almost sick to his stomach. One minute they were in the Tokyo Tower, and the next they were falling from the sky into a world he had never seen before.

 

[Dragonlady]

Hikaru

The portal took them .. She still stood there beside Scott as they were falling to the next world she puts her hand on his shoulder " Relax, Look at me and not at the ground Scott it makes the ride easier" turning him around to face her..

She looked at Umi and Puu " Well at least its not raining " she smiled as she looked back at Scott " Open your mouth " she watched him giver her and odd look as he open his mouth she stuck her sucker in his mouth .. " Think only of the sucker" she smiled at him

As a few seconds later they landed softly on the ground

 

[showdolly]

" Well at least its not raining "

Umi smoothed her outfit as she stood, having landed perfectly safely along with the others on the ground. She didn't know what Hikaru had against the rain, maybe only that it would put out her fire. Umi had often pondered if that made her more powerful than the Hikaru, but it had been the other girl who had been chosen as Pillar for a time, so she assumed not.
"Rather it rain than burn, Hikaru." Umi laughed and playfully punched the girl in the arm, rolling her eyes as Fuu pointed out that they "were here now". Well of course they were, silly girl.

"So, Hikaru, any clue what we're doing here? It obviously has something to do with that sword," she pointed to the weapon Scott held. "And even him!" She recanted her dream to Hikaru, who didn't seem surprised. Umi and Fuu waited to be clued in, as it seemed that maybe Hikaru knew something they didn't yet.

 

[dragonrazor]

Scott blinked, confused as the redhead turned him to face her, then nearly choked as she stuck the lollipop she had only moments before had in her mouth. He could still taste her saliva on it, and as they touched the ground, he slowly reached up to take it out. She had been a little rough, and he handed it back to her. As the bluehaired girl smoothed out her outfit, and then started talking to the redhead, he realized she had given him the redhead’s name, Hikaru. He raised an eyebrow at what she said, and then shook his head, as she mentioned something about a dream. The rest he wasn’t paying attention to them because he was staring at the scenery, which included some oddly colored trees, a giant turtle in the sky, and what looked like a mountain underneath them.

As he stood there, the sword had started glowing again, but he didn’t notice. He was confused, and wondered where they were.

“This isn’t Tokyo. I’ve never seen this place before. Or…Have I?” His voice trailed off, as he remembered something his mother’s aunt had told him.

 

[Dragonlady]

Hikaru

She looked at Umi when she asked her "Rather it rain than burn, Hikaru."she smiled at her friend "Nay I just didn't want another shower for the day Umi" she rolled her eyes when Fuu said they" were here "

Sometimes she wondered about her friend, She smiled when Scott handed back her sucker, and ask where they were she figured she let Umi explain that one...

She looked at her friend" Well we could always ask around or go to the Historian" she knew they would give her odd looks but she really didn't know what to do about the sword or the fact Umi was dreaming about Scott... Some days she wished she was a blonde...
