~*~Galantha-By: Quatre's Miko~*~

Author's Note: This is a weird little story (ok, maybe not little...) that I can up with when I was at my friend's house after watching Card Captor Sakura at strange hours in the WAY early morning. ^^* I'm also using Japanese names because if I didn't, this same friend would kill me. ^_^;; So, that means that Li (from the American version) is going to be called Shaoran. For all of you who only watch the American version, Shaoran is his first name, not Li - that is his last name. BUT! If a person was not as familiar with a person they might still call him Li. Just some Japanese stuff here. Anyways!! With all this babbling about CCS, you may wonder, where's the GW in this??!! Well, be patient and we'll get there. Just for a little blib, I'm using a combination of the CCS movie ending and the manga ending (well, not really....) as my beginning. It's not word for word either, just to let you know. ^^* In the GW sections, I decided that it would be after Endless Waltz, and that they wouldn't blow up their Gundams (don't I do that in every fic I write?!). I think that's it! Enjoy!!

As tears began to roll down her cheeks, Sakura turned and faced Shaoran. "Shaoran...even if you don't have any feelings for me anymore," Sakura stopped and continued, "...I....I love you." She looked at the young boy clad in his green outfit; there was no response. Sakura turned away, and the tears began to flow. Suddenly, a soft whisper reached her ears. "I do too." The girl gasped and turned around to face the now smiling Shaoran. As her face bloomed into a large smile, Shaoran continued, "Sakura."

Throughout the city of Tomoeda, the damage done by the sealed card slowly vanished. On top of one building, Meiling and Tomoyo awakened. Tomoyo suddenly began to cry, and then Meiling asked what was wrong. "I didn't get to tape Sakura-chan in her costume in battle!!" Meiling sweatdropped and helped the other girl to stand back up. Closer to the scene of the last battle, Yukito and Kero found themselves on the ground in their false forms. As they woke up, Kero looked at Yukito, and Yukito smiled back. The ruined Pink Festival play's audience slowly found themselves back in their seats, including Touya.

Sakura smiled and stepped back a few steps on the little piece of stairway she was standing on. "Get ready Shaoran-kun!!"

"Nani?! If you just wait, everything'll be back to normal!"

"But I don't wanna wait!" Sakura shouted as she took a running leap towards Shaoran. The boy stepped towards her and extended his arms. In a few seconds the pink-clad girl was in his arms.They embraced for about a minute before sitting down on the stairs in the tower. Sakura then turned and faced Shaoran. "Shaoran-kun, does this mean you have to go back to Hong Kong?" The boy shook his head before answering, "No. I'm staying here until at least I get outta high school." Sakura couldn't have been happier as she hugged him and was embraced in return. "Shaoran-kun, don't leave." A light blush appeared on the boy's face as well as the girl's.

"Stupid OZ!" Duo shouted as he plowed his Gundam through the heavy fire that was coming at him from the OZ space Leos. The boy forced Deathscythe Hell Custom into a sharp right turn, and swerved past two Leos which were coming right at him. As the Leos turned around for another charge, the black Gundam, with its scythe, came straight at the two suits. They were cleanly sliced in two and blew up in a matter of seconds.

Nearby, Heero, who was in Wing Zero Custom, came charging towards some Taurus suits. The suits soon disappeared in a large explosion as Heero zipped by. Khasekova you're gonna get it for disturbing the peace! Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei were currently in another area fighting their own battle, so it was all Duo and Heero. They, being experience pilots and all, could handle the enemy forces fairly well and were not having too much trouble keeping their heads out of the water. "Oi, Heero. It seems like we'll be needed to protect the peace again. Eesh! When will these people learn?!"

~*~

As Sakura and Shaoran walked out in their slightly torn costumes, they were greeted by a very enthusiastic Kero and a smiling, but hungry Yukito. "You go girl! Hey Sakura! Why are you holding hands with that brat?!" Shaoran's eyes narrowed as a vein stuck out of his forehead. "Keroberos!! I'll get you one of these days!!" Yukito laughed at the two's antics before turning to Sakura. "You did a great job Sakura. Why don't I treat you guys to breakfast, since the sun has just risen, and I'm hungry." Sakura nodded happily, and followed Yukito. She then stopped and waited for Shaoran, who was still bickering with Kero. The boy noticed the girl was waiting for him and scurried off. "Oooh! The brat's in love with...SAKURA?! NANI?!" screamed Kero, "What happened here, Sakura?! Why? How? AGH!!" Sakura simply smiled at the little yellow creature that was hovering in front of her face. Sakura and Shaoran walked off and left a shocked Kero hovering in the air. He let out a sigh, mumbled something, and slowly followed.

As they were walking, the group ran into Tomoyo and Meiling. Tomoyo, being Tomoyo, had the camera in hand and was making a video of the blushing couple. "Oh! This'll be great!! It's just too bad you've already changed out of your costumes..." Sakura and Shaoran's faces were a bright red, but they managed to continue walking.

Streams of bullets poured from Heavyarms Kai's guns as the mobile suit performed a series of acrobatics through the battlefield. To Trowa's right, Sandrock Kai was leaving a string of explosions behind him. Out in the middle of the battlefield, Altron was creating its own wreath of death. The three Gundams wreaked mass havoc on the enemy suits wherever they went. As Quatre sat in his dark cockpit, his mind began to wonder. Khasekova...why does he want to disturb the peace? He probably wants power like Mariemaia did, but still! Our world has suffered from one too many bloody battles in this short amount of time! It seems that human nature will never learn.

While Quatre's mind drifted to Khasekova, the man's mind was on the Gundam pilots. "hahaha....unlike all of the previous attempts to take over the world, mine will succeed! Those bafoons have yet to see my secret weapon. Oh, I just can't wait! I can see it now....my throne...hahahaha...." Khasekova was a pale thin man with wavy blond hair that came down to his chin. His hair also had red highlights streaking through his long bangs. His outfit consisted of a long sweeping black cloak, a blood-red jacket, a white silk shirt, black pants, and high black boots. Khasekova's clear blue eyes carried an extremely cold look about them and caused many men to shiver in his presence. As the man enjoyed his own company, he began to daydream about his conquest for the world once more. "Gundam pilots! Prepare for your ultimate downfall!! hahahahaha!!"

Sakura flopped down on her bed and stared up at the ceiling. As Kero let himself out of her backpack, he glanced at the mistress of the Sakura Cards. He let out a sigh before asking, "Sakura, what in the world happened?! You like that brat? I just don't get it!" There was no response from the girl; she had fallen asleep. He grumbled, "Sheez. Who knows how long she's gonna sleep now!!" He turned and then spotted the video games. "YES!!! I'm going to win, and Suppie's going to lose!! This is gonna be great!!" Kero flew down and landed in front of the TV. He turned on the game system and began his game at once.

While Sakura slept, Shaoran practiced his sword skills. Even though we've captured the last Clow Card, Eriol's gone, and all of the former Clow Cards are now Sakura Cards, something isn't right! There is a strange power that hovers above us, and it's not related to Clow. Dammit! What is it?! The boy stabbed the air with his sword before putting it away. He walked over to the balcony and opened the door. Stepping out, he allowed the fresh air to run through his hair. Sakura....rest while you can 'cause this isn't over yet....

~*~

"Oi Quatre! You don't have any more food in your fridge!!" Duo shouted. The blond pilot walked into the kitchen and peered over Duo's shoulder at the empty refridgerator. "That's funny, I just restocked it an hour ago!" Duo stood up and faced his friend. "I think someone has been stealing your food."

"That's funny you say that Duo because I think you have been stealing the food."

"Nani?! Me?? Steal from you?!" Duo replied, "I'm hurt!!" Quatre smiled and pat his friend on the back. "Heero, do you mind checking Duo's bedroom to see if our food is in there?" Heero, who was passing by the kitchen at the time, nodded. Before long, he returned with bags of groceries in his hands. "Is this what you're looking for?" Duo grinned sheepishly at his fellow Gundam pilots before bidding a quick farewell and running off. Quatre shook his head and helped Heero with the bags. "Thanks Heero." The boy nodded silently before walking off to finish whatever task he was set on doing.

~*~

Shaoran couldn't sleep. He lay awake in his bed, staring up at the blank white ceiling. This aura, it's back again. What could it be?! As much as I hate this, I think I'm going to have to call Eriol. The brown-haired boy got out of bed and walked over to his special Cardcaptors phone. He picked it up, dialed Eriol's phone number, and waited for an answer. Within seconds after the first ring, Eriol answered. "Hello?"

"Eriol, this is Li Shaoran. I'm not sure if you can sense it in England, but there seems to be some strange aura hovering above us." said Shaoran. Eriol thought for a moment before answering, "It's obviously not a Clow Card, and it's not me. I too can feel it here, even though it's not very strong; it feels different from anything else we've ever felt before. Let me guess, you called to ask if I knew what it was."

"Right."

"To tell you the truth, I don't know. But I'll tell you one thing: Ruby Moon, Spinel Sun, and I will head back to Japan. From there we'll work together. Good deal?" There was a moment of silence as Eriol waited for Shaoran's answer. "Hai."

~*~

Heero slowly opened the letter he had in his hands. He unfolded the letter and began to read.

To Heero:
Heero, this is Relena. I'm not sure where you are, but I am sure that this letter will reach you. It's been a while since I last saw you, for that matter, I haven't seen you since the last war! I really do want to see you sometime, and I know this isn't the best of times, but I really miss you. Please Heero, come and visit me, even if it's only for a hour. See you soon!
Relena

Heero folded the letter back up and grabbed his jacket. As he was heading out he met up with Trowa. "Trowa, please tell the others that I'm going to Earth to perform some private business."

"Sure thing. May I ask when you'll be back?" Heero thought for a moment and answered, "I should be back in a day." Trowa nodded at his friend as he watched Heero climb into Wing Zero Custom and blast off. Trowa turned to find Wufei standing behind them. "I bet that he has gone to see that onna, Relena."

"I bet he has. Leave him alone, Wufei." Wufei glanced at Trowa, and the two walked away from the hanger to go tell the others that Heero had left for Earth.

The next day, Shaoran and Sakura went out to the airport to wait for Eriol. He came, sure enough, with his fellow comrades who were, of course, in their false forms. The boy with the glasses smiled at his friends and asked, "So, did you guys sense anything else recently?" Sakura nodded before answering, "Yeah! It's this real strong aura....even stronger than yours!" Eriol looked at Sakura with a bit of shock. "Oh no...I fear that I may know what is going on." The entire group was going to stop when Eriol hurried them off so that they could speak in private later.

That private spot ended up to be Sakura's room. Touya wasn't too happy with this, but he had to leave anyways; he had another part-time job to take care of. The entire cardcaptors gang was there: Sakura, Shaoran, Tomoyo, Meiling, Eriol, Kero, Yue, Spinel Sun, and Ruby Moon. There was massive discussion, but everyone got quiet when Eriol began to speak. "A long time ago before Clow Reed, magic was practiced freely among the people; even the peasants knew some magic! There was one man, however, that decided to try something no one even dared to think about. This man wanted to release the powers of Galantha, the mistress of the universe. The poor man, wanting her power, released her and was immediately destroyed by the very thing that he had released.

"Galantha ravaged the land for many years, but was finally captured by a mysterious youth. Unfortunetly, no records show who he was. This youth did something that locked Galantha back up, but did not kill her. No one knows when or where Galantha would break out of her prison, but now we know. Galantha is here." Everyone's face was one of shock as this story came to an end. As silence ensued, Yue spoke up, "How do we stop her?" Eriol looked up at speaker and replied, "I don't know. I don't even know what she can do."

"Well, it doesn't matter! We're gonna get her no matter what!" Sakura shouted as she stood up on her bed, "Are you with me?!" There was cheering as it was decided; they would go after Galantha.

~*~

The journey to Earth was easy enough, and Heero soon arrived. As he landed the Gundam, a blond girl came running out to greet him. The hatch opened, and Heero came down on the pulley. Relena's eyes glimmered with tears before running over to him. "Heero! I didn't think that you would come! With this war and everything...." But she didn't have time to finish her sentence when Heero cut her off, "I'm only staying a little while. It is necessary that I return to help the others." Relena nodded in sad agreement before walking with Heero towards the large building looming in front of them.

~*~

Sakura and Shaoran where taking a walk through town when Shaoran quickly glanced about him. "Something's up, Sakura." The girl clutched her wand tightly and moved closer to Shaoran. "What is it?" Shaoran gasped and took off running. "Wait up!!" shouted Sakura as she tried to keep up with the boy.

Shaoran came to a sudden stop. Right in front of him, a ghostly figure hovered. She had long black hair that had little stars in them, dark blue eyes, pale skin, a long gown that seemed to be made out of the night sky, and a bright coronet that seemed to be made out of stars. Galantha! Shaoran drew his sword and faced the figure. Before he had time to attack however, Galantha raised her hand and cast some magic. A thick mist appeared and Shaoran couldn't see. As it cleared, he didn't see Galantha anywhere, but he did see a blond lady in front of him.

As Sakura rounded the corner, she saw the heavy mist. "Shaoran-kun!! Where are you??!!" She called out numerous times, but there was no answer. Finally the mist began to clear, and a lean figure began to walk towards her. "Shaoran-kun?"

~*~

Relena let out a scream. "AHH!!!! Who are you?! Where's Heero? What have you done with Heero?!" The normally peaceful Relena was in full rage. Shaoran, who had no earthly idea what was going on, just watched the blond lady stomp back and forth across the green grass. "Excuse me, ma'am, but where am I?" Relena stopped and looked at him. "What? You don't know where you are??" Shaoran was being to turn red. "No." Relena screamed again and fainted onto the grass. Shaoran, having no idea where to go, just stayed where he was, hoping that when the lady was awake again that she would be able to help him.

Heero walked out of the mist to see a little girl with a wand in her hands. "Shaoran-kun? Is that you??"

"Who's Shaoran?" Sakura gulped and answered, "If you're not Shaoran, who are you??" Heero glanced about him and replied, "Heero Yuy." Sakura blinked. Heero looked at her and walked over. "Did you do something with that wand of yours to get me here? I don't think this is my world." Sakura looked at her wand. "No, I didn't do it.....it must have been GALANTHA!!" Heero raised an eyebrow. "That's great. Now, will you just get me home?" Sakura sadly shook her head. "I can't. You have to get Galantha to do that. She must be the one who brought you here....and changed places with Shaoran-kun!!! HOEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Heero covered his face with his hand.

~*~

Relena finally awakened. She was still on the grass, and Shaoran was still sitting there beside her. She sat up and faced the boy. "So who are you? Where are you from?" asked Relena. "I'm Li Shaoran. I'm from Hong Kong."

"Hong Kong?! How did you...but..I don't get it! And why are you carrying that sword?" Shaoran looked at his sword and answered, "This is my weapon. I think I know what happened to this 'Heero' person you are talking about and myself. It must have been Galantha. She must have switched us!!" Relena had the most puzzled expression on her face. "What? Galantha? Who's that?"

"Galantha is the mistress of the universe! I have to get back to Sakura and help. What's the easiest way back to Japan?" asked Shaoran. "Well, Japan....doesn't really exist anymore. The entire earth is one nation and that includes the colonies in space."

"Space?! NANI?! People live in space??!!" Relena blinked. "You didn't know that? You are definitely not from our world." Shaoran began to pale. "Oh no. I won't be able to get back unless Sakura and the others defeat Galantha!"

~*~

Heero sat in the comfort of Sakura's room. "Ok, Hero, we're calling a meeting, and we're going to discuss what we're going to do with you," said Sakura. "It's Heero." Sakura turned pink with embarassment. She was about to open the door when Touya swung it wide open, thus smashing Sakura into the small space between the wall and the door. "Sakura? Huh, who are you?" Sakura let out a wail, and Touya let her out. "There you are, monster. Who's this? He's worse than that other punk you were with earlier!" Sakura clenched her fists and her teeth before managing to shout, "GET OUT TOUYA!!!!" Touya knocked the girl on the forehead before leaving. As the door was about to close, Yukito and Eriol came in. Touya turned and looked at Yukito, "Yuki? What are you doing with SAKURA?"

"Sakura is inviting us all to have cookies in her room. She told me that you're not allowed." Touya grit his teeth and stormed off, mumbling to himself. Sakura let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks Yukito! I guess that was a good excuse for you guys coming and him not."

"No problem! But, can we have cookies? I'm hungry." Sakura sweatdropped, but nodded happily. "Make yourselves comfortable and get to know Heero." She walked off and left her guests to intermingle. Eriol looked at the boy who was clad in a green tank top and blue jeans. "Um, pardon me, Heero, but how did you get here?" The prussian-eyed boy looked up and answered, "I'm not sure. There was a mist and then I'm here. But it doesn't matter how I get here, I want to get back. There's a war going on." Yukito, Kero, Spinel Sun, and Nakuru quickly transformed into their true forms and faced the boy. "We can't get you back until Galantha is defeated." Heero looked at Yue with a look of shock. "How did you...."

"Transform? This is my true self. Get used to it, you'll be stuck here for a while I bet. It's such a pity that we had to lose Li though. I believe he would have been a big help."

"Who needs that brat?" said Kero, "We'll be fine without him. Hopefully you, Heero, have some talents that will help us."

No, this is not the end. This is going to end up being like a little series, and this is just the first one. ^^* So...I'll just end this little story with a.... To Be Continued....
