The Sealed Pendant
Episode Twelve - Disasters And Mishaps

She flew out and looked below her. People had begun gathering around, but still no sign of her friends. "Lightning!" "Thunder!" Flashes nearby made her quickly fly that way. From the sky, she spotted Li and Sakura, then Eriol and Madison, and all the others. "Guys!" she yelled down. They slowly looked up at her with blank eyes. "How's that possible? They shouldn't be affected. Especially not Eriol, Li, and Sakura." She flew down and landed in a tree top. "Gu--" "Kokkei, look out!" She turned around as Mizuiro grabbed her and flew off, to see the tree engulfed in flames. Looking further up, she saw Keroberos floating there, with Yue next to him. "No. Not them, too." Ceaira and Hannya ran up, next to Mizuiro and Kokkei. "You're probably wondering why we're not attacking." Ceaira said, a sad smile on her face. "Yeah." Kokkei whispered. "Well, we don't know exactly." "Where's Sabaki?" Mizuiro asked, looking around. Kokkei pointed. "About to fry her brother with a thousand volts of electricity." They all turned to see Sabaki faced off with Yue, and Rukki and Aquilia faced off with Keroberos.

"Julian and Tori are still at their dorms." Ceaira sighed, "I hope they're ok." "We couldn't get them to leave at the time." Hannya added, "It's ok, though. As long as they don't really... kill each other..." Everyone sighed. The wings on Kokkei's back disappeared, but instead of the pendant coming back to her, it started heading skyward. She jumped up. "Hey. Come back! get it back!" She pulled out another one. "Jump!" She grunted as she leapt through the sky. She grabbed the star and landed softly, quickly grabbing Jump as it returned. "Shield." she then said softly, touching the Wand to it. Li and Sakura's swords clashed sharply against it. Hannya and Ceaira tackled them away and jumped up, just as Eriol and Meilin attacked, with Madison and Dominic not too far behind. "Guys, snap out of it!" she yelled, trying to block them. Mizuiro grabbed her again and flew up, as Meilin's punch just missed her. "I don't want to fight them, Mizuiro." Kokkei sighed, looking below. "And I won't." She looked over both her and her guardian's shoulder as a barrage of Yue's ice crystals headed their way. Mizuiro covered her head and wrapped his wings around her as he was hit and started falling.

He landed roughly on his side. Kokkei sat up and looked down at him. She smiled sadly. "You've done enough. I'll take care of it now." She stood up, unlocking the Dragon Pendant, and flew high. As she looked down, she spotted Ceaira and Hannya still wrestling with Sakura and Li, and the others moved on. She held the Wand over her head and let a pendant land on it. "Freeze!... Unlock!" She let her gaze go up as ice traveled over the entire area, and further. She gripped the pendant and flew higher still, following the tendrils until she came to a thick, black cloud that stretched farther than the eyes could see. She passed through it and found she was able to stand. She also found the brunette lady who she saw in her dreams. "You. You're doing this." She barely glanced at Kokkei. Kokkei grasped the Wand and it changed into the sword. She ran forward and jumped up, bringing it down on several of the grouped hair strands. The woman glared at her and more strands extended, some heading for Kokkei, who sliced them away. "Why are you doing... this?" She stopped and leaned against the Sword, panting lightly. She gasped as the weapon was pulled from her, then screamed as she felt the pendants being pulled from her.

Whenever she needed one, it was always in her pocket, ready for her to take it out, because it came from inside of her. "No! Give 'em back!" She crawled forward. The woman looked at the pendants floating in front of her, and her eyes narrowed. "One's missing." she said calmly. Kokkei looked up at her. "They're not yours. Give them back." she whimpered. She gripped what she could of the cloud and bit her lip to keep from screaming, as the dark-haired woman tried to take the last pendant remaining inside of her. "You can't have it!" she screamed. Her lip had started bleeding from biting it so long. Kokkei gasped and her head snapped up, everything moving in slow motion for her. She heard her heartbeat slowing and echoing as she fell forward, falling limp.

'I'm dead.' Kokkei said, her voice echoing back in the plain darkness., 'That witch killed me.' She sighed and smiled, realizing she still had a pendant. 'Heal.' The glowing woman appeared in front of her. 'Why does she want you?' 'Since there's something that you use to heal, there must be the opposite. She's Destruction.' 'Oh.' Kokkei sweatdropped. 'So?' Heal frowned. 'Getting me would be the end of the world. You can't let that happen.' 'What can I do? I'm dead.' Kokkei tucked her hands behind her head. 'I can help. But first, you have to do something.' She looked at the spirit. 'Do what?' 'You have to figure it out on your own.' 'Oh... that bites.' Heal smiled and slowly started disappearing. Kokkei sat with her legs folded and started thinking. 'I'm dead... my ice has probably melted, and everyone's fighting...' She jumped up. 'I have to see outside!' She looked around and around. 'They've probably killed each other by now.' She wiped a tear away and images passed around her. Li and Sakura were lying next to each other. Another image showed Madison and Eriol, propped up against each other. Meilin and Dominic were lying, head to toe. Kokkei closed her eyes as all other images floated through her mind. 'They're gone... they're all gone.' She clenched her fists at her side.

Destruction gasped and looked over at Kokkei's body as it started to glow. Kokkei slowly stood up, her arms and head hanging limply. "I told you..." she groaned, "You weren't getting it." She held her arms in front of her and a pendant appeared. "It's a new one." Destruction said. "Yeah. Made it myself." Kokkei held it above her head. "Bring back the people and things I love and need!" A light started spreading out from the pendant she held, and Destruction held up her hands. "No. No... nooo!!" The light quickly spread out, all over the world, restoring everything back to normal. When the light came back, Kokkei found she was standing on the ground. She lowered her arms and looked around. She saw the pendants in front of her, pulsating with a faint light. When she looked closer, they'd all changed shape. They were now rectangular, like a card. She looked at the one in her hands. It was also the new shape. A star shape, but it held a chain, unlike the others. The image inside was a heart, with two arrows going through it. She placed it around her neck and it shrunk slight and all the other pendants disappeared inside of her.

"You did good."

Kokkei looked up to see Kaoru and all the others standing behind him. He held out his arm and she saw he was handing her a staff, similar to Sakura's, just still with the unique, heart-style of the one she originally had. She took it, then looked at him again. The next thing Kaoru knew, was that he was being beaten by Kokkei over the head. "Aahh! Aahh! Why are you hitting me?!" He ran around in circles with Kokkei chasing after him. "I died! We all died! You little piece of poop!" "Ano..." Everyone sweatdropped. "That's our Kokkei." Ceaira commented. Everyone else nodded, "Hai." Sakura glomped on Li. "Oh! I'm so sorry for killing you!" "It was you? I thought it was Eriol." "I tried," Eriol said, "But I forgot what happened." "I wonder how Julian and Tori are doing." Hannya said, looking thoughtful. "Let's visit 'em." Ceaira chimed in. "Great idea." The sisters giggled. Sabaki was scolding Yue for killing Mizuiro, and the guardian beasts were apologizing to each other.

"Kokkei! Quit hitting me!"

The group looked at the two chibis running around, then went back to talking happily as the sun shone down upon them.
