Card Fic...(not all here yet)

wee bit of card fic

The lion's claw barely missed Sinbad's head as it jumped over him.

"Are you alright?" Maeve asked.

"Yeah"

"Good, now stay down and let me do my job!" Maeve got up.
"Not bad kitty, is that all you got?!" Maeve yelled out taunting the lion. The lion roared and the ground shook beneath her.

"Don't tease the kitty, nobody likes that" Strength said as she appeared from behind.
"Is that all you have? A hairy kitty? I expected more" Maeve commented dryly.

"You haven't seen anything yet mortal!" Strength charged at Maeve. Maeve ducked down and flipped Strength through the air. She landed hard on the ground, and not happy. Strength looked up at Maeve, and the lion instictively jumped on Maeve. The huge beast knocked Maeve to the ground. Maeve threw her arms up to shield herself, but it's sharp claws dug into her flesh. She screamed and Strength laughed.

"My kitty has sharp nails don't you think?" Strength smiled.

But then Sinbad from behind knocked her down onto the ground and started to wrestle with her.

"You cannot defeat me! I am Strength!"

"Yeah so, I'm Sinbad"

"Do not mock me!"

"Brute strength isn't everything"

Then an infinity sign started to glow like a halo over Strength's head. Sinbad was almost mesmorized by it. He was hypnotised, and lost in a trance.

"SINBAD!" Maeve screamed

Sinbad shook his head and realized where he was again.

"GRAB IT!" Maeve yelled as the blood oozed all over her.

Sinbad looked down at Strength as she wrestled with him. He reached and grabbed the halo over her head. She screamed. Her scream was deafening, as the halo was crushed in Sinbad's hands.

The lion disappeared and Maeve felt the weight of the beast being lifted up, and her lungs fill with air again.

"Maeve!" Sinbad ran over to her holding the bent halo, "Are you alright?"

Maeve looked up at those beautiful blue eyes she missed so much.

"Yeah, I'll live" she smiled as she tried to get up, but then her arm fell lame, and it dragged her down.
"Your arm," Sinbad helped her up, "That's pretty bad, you'll need stitches"

"Just a scratch, that kitty wasn't so bad, just all hair" Maeve laughed.

Sinbad held her up, supporting her as the blood trickled down. He held her closer to have a better hold on her, and that's when they both realized how close they really where.

"Maeve..."

"Yes?"

Just then the portal opened up, the halo turned into the card, and the two were sucked into the vortex.

just a wee bit, it's only tuesday...

The vortex sucked everything in site in. Spinning their bodies around violently as they fell through the vortex, Maeve and Sinbad finally saw the end. Sinbad's body hit the rock floor first, dazed he looked up and saw the vortex, and a woman falling, and landing on him, crushing his body.

"I hate that thing" Maeve said as she looked up.

"Same here" Sinbad managed to get out.

The two locked eyes again, as it had been centuries since they saw each other, ages since they were this close, eons since they could feel each other's warm breath so close, almost taste the the lips aching to be kissed. Lips moving closer, wanted their much earned reward.

"You're back!" the old man said

"Oh yeah" Maeve said as she got up, holding her injured arm.

"Yeah" Sinbad slowly got up

"You're hurt" the old man reached for the arm.

"Just a scratch," Maeve pulled away.

"Oh yeah, here, stick it back in with the others." Sinbad handed the old man the card. Strength.

"Where are the others?" Sinbad asked.

Two bodies came crashing down again onto the ground, landing in the thick mud.

"Ugh!" Maeve cried out as she tried to shake the mud off her

"You never looked better" Sinbad teased as he helped her up.
"For once I would like to land in a field of feathers or something dry" Maeve said.

Sinbad looked around at the area. It was just water, and some patches of land, muddy land.

"Who are we trying to find now?"

"I have no clue yet, come on let's go find out" Maeve started walking.

The two jumped from each small island to the next, the water seemed to keep rising. They saw a mountain goat on a higher hill.
"Strange, what's a mountain goat doing here?" Sinbad asked.

"That used to be a mountain" Maeve answered.

"How can that be?"

"Her" Maeve looked on at the figure not too far off in the distance.

The woman held two jars which she was pouring water out of, that seemed never to end. She held one jar over the water, and the other jar over the land. She was flooding everything. She knelt down on one knee and let the water flow out. Her blonde hair flowed freely in the wind. And she wore nothing. Sinbad started in awe.

"Keep your mouth shut, we already have a flood here" Maeve closed his chin

"I wasn't looking" Sinbad replied

"Right, and me and Rumina are best friends. We have work to do" Maeve started walking towards Star. Sinbad followed her.

"Those jugs are getting heavy, you seem as if you need a hand or two" Maeve said.

Star merely looked up at the two, and Sinbad gawking at her.

"They are getting heavy, maybe you can help" Star said as she pointed the two jugs and blasted water at the two. Maeve and Sinbad were swept away by the strong current. They tried to hold on to something, but they couldn't even hold onto each other.

"MAEVE!" Sinbad yelled out as he tried to reach her.

It was like it was happening all over again. The storm, Maeve falling over, him unable to save her. He was losing her again. He wouldn't, he couldn't, not again.

Then a strong arm grabbed him. He looked up and it was Maeve. She managed to grab onto some land and grabbed onto Sinbad before he was swept away.

"Strength" Maeve said and the eternity symbol appeared on her forehead, she started to glow slightly and pulled Sinbad out of the water. He choked a bit and gasped for some air. He looked up at her, and the symbol was gone.

"What was that?" Sinbad asked.

"Once I capture a card, I have its abilities"

"Then go use something on her!"

"I'm thinking!"

"Can you think a little faster!" Sinbad started moving up, as the water started to rise.

"Ok, I'll distract her, but you have to grab her jugs"

"I do?"

"No those! The ones that hold water! Grab them, and get far away from her, that should weaken her"

"Alright" Sinbad started to the side as Maeve got up.

"Hey you! Yeah you! You're all washed up! That all you got?!" Maeve taunted.

Star got up and aimed her jugs at Maeve and fired. Two blasts of water shot out. Maeve shot out fire from her hands and there was an explosion where the two elements met. They seemed to be able to hold their own.

Meanwhile Sinbad was quietly sneaking up against Star. He jumped and only managed to knock one of her jugs out of her hands. She still had the other one and she was still fighting with Maeve. Sinbad took the jug and aimed it at Star. The water knocked her off her balance for only a moment. Maeve contiued her attack.
"You were suppose to get both of them!" Maeve yelled.

"She wouldn't let go!" Sinbad yelled back.
"Men! Can't do anything right!" Maeve yelled.
But then a star appeared over Star's head. Sinbad shot the water at it, and it fell off. Star fell to the ground. The star floated towards Maeve and she picked it up.

"Return" Maeve said

The water started to disapear and the hills turned out to be mountains. Sinbad looked down and realized that he was on top of the mountain, seperate from Maeve.
"A little help here" Sinbad said

The star started to glow and the vortex appeared.

"How am I suppose to get up there?" Sinbad asked.

The mountain goat appeared from behind him and knocked him off the mountain. The vortex sucked him in and Maeve laughed as she jumped and entered the vortex.
