SFP Fanfic and Storys


In another dimension, two young people appear and declare there intention to assist the local population. These two people are Kalshion and Katarina Dragon, twins that are apart of the Dragon Family. They possess abilitys that allow them to call upon the powers of two dragon entitys

After twenty year's in this world, they'd finally earned the trust of one of the government's and, after some negotiations, go on to build an Acadamy to help those who are either poor or those who just need a better place. The academy was built in a way that the government doens't understand. It's about as big as university, but can house over two hundred thousand students

What no one knows, is that the academy occupy's several pocket dimentions that allow it to have so many students. But the dragon's helpful intention's are seen as a threat by another entity in that dimention. Soon there after the planet they reside on is bombarded and millions parish in only a few hours

When the smoke finally die's down, the only building that remains standing is the academy along with the ground's around it. Children who had been hoping to see there family where no homeless and Kalshion and Katarina Dragon knew they had there work cut out for them. They had there own family's as well

Katisan Dragon, a nine year adopted child; his twin sister Hikowa Dragon who was also nine years of age. Both of them where much older than there height implied, but on that world they where nine year's old. Sharia Dragon was a born daughter of Kalshion and Hikeya Dragon, only six year's old she's mostly in the company of her father. There two eldest son's, Kassandra and Katondra Dragon. Both where twelve years old

All of the children in the dragon family attended the academy. Kat and Hikowa Dragon being in the 4th grade while kassandra and Katondra being in the sixth grade. Sharia was a Kindergarder but often time's stayed with her father like always

This is what the two elder's worried about the most, was there children. When the attack occured they almost lost Katisan Dragon because both him and his Sister where playing a game of Hide and go Seek.. a stray plasma bolt landed near by and Katisan received 3rd degree burns. Due the dragon's natural healing abilitys he survived, but the elders knew if the bolt had been an inch or two closer they'd have lost a son

Both of the elders took this attack seriously, but there's nothign they can really do. Thanks to the attack all the orbital production facilitys where destroyed, and thus begins the reconstruction and there journy to discover who it was who attacked them

Will post chapter one later

[Kasawa Lanford]

Chapter Null: Informational

Kalshion and Katarina Dragon are the Headmaster and Headmistress of Dyhokan Academy. A K - 12 school that's cut up into different pocket dimentions

The schools total student population is over 150,000. 12,500 students per grade; each grade level has it's own color's to identify themselves

K-1st graders however use the same colors. There uniforms use those color. Kalshion and Katarina decided to use a uniform from a dimention they once visited (Card Captor Sakura) from the Grade School that Sakura Kinomoto attended for both the Male and Female students.

2nd - 4th Graders wear the same uniform from the CCS dimention, with a silght difference. There standard color is Blue and White, tie is Red

For the 5th - 7th graders use the uniforms from another dimention that the two twins visited, (Angelic Layer) from Eriol Academy, the colors for these three grade levels is Red, Blue and Black

For the 8th - 9th graders use the same uniforms as the K-2nd graders (Kal and Kat ran out of idea's) only difference is that the colors for all three is strictly gold

10th graders are perhaps the only one's who have a completely different uniform from everyone else. There uniform is something out of a catholic academy, where the female students where a uniform that resembles a nun, the male's where something that resemble's a paster. Kalshion and Katarina are already in the process of changing the uniform, mostly because the 10th grade students are getting rather annoyed at being called "Nuns" and "Pasters"  But then again, they're also the only one's who are treated different from both the Grade and High school students. They are inbetween

11th- 12th graders aren't required to wear a uniform, but most do, there uniform's are the standard office type for the male's, but the female's would rather have the same uniform that the lower classmates use. Perhaps it's because of the flashyness that it adds

The school is cut up into six sections

Pre-School (K-1st)
Junior Elementary (2nd - 4th)
Reguler Elementary (5th - 7th)
Senior Elementary (8th and 9th)
Junior High (10th) [10th and below is grade school level[
Senior High (11th - 12th)  [High School Level]

The Academy run's under an honor system. Grade-school level students are treated as children just like how Senior High students are treated as Adults. A student here is considered a child until they get into Senior High. Upon Reaching Senior High they are afforded several responsibilitys, including that of assisting the teachers in the grade school (Pre-school to Junior High is considered Grade School level by Kal and Kat's perspective)

The Academy  also run's under two different enrollment systems. Invitational and instructional.

Invitational is just how it's worded. They invite students to join the academy

Instructional is different. This is for students who want to enroll in the school, but where not invited. These students, no matter WHAT grade they where in at there previous school, must attend a Pre-School Introductory class for six weeks, after that they are admited into whatever grade level there age is (The school is age dependent, not height) while the Pre-school Intro class is active, NO students may be admited to the school, weather invitational or instructional, this is because Invitational students ARE required to attend this class for one week. The class teach's the basic rule's and regulations, along with uniform measurements and preparedness. Children below the age of 8 are mostly excluded from this class since they lack the proper language skills to understand what is being taught, these students are mostly taught by there parents

There is no A honor or anything, Kalshion and Katarina run under the belief that no student deserves special treatment just because they may be better than others; they DO, however, encourage students to help those under them

There is a college course at the Academy, but due to all the happenings around the planet, that course has been closed down and those who graduate the high school level are enrolled into the Magi Military to help in the Academy's defense

The Academy's running hour's very. While Grade School students start school at 12 noon and end at 9 pm. High Schoolers start school much earlier (due to what they are tought) they start at 8 am and end at 9 pm.

The academy does believe that students need breaks. So Kalshion set it up so that there are four breaks during the school day. For High School Students one occur's at 10 am, another at 12 noon, another at 4 pm and another at 6 pm. For Grade School Students they have there breaks at 2 pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm. Another thing, Grade School and High School students do have Recess.... Recess is the same as that of the a grade school (Only different for the high school students is that they mostly play sports, they don't climb any juggle jim or stuff that the grade schoolers do)

When Recess is active for both Grade and High School levels (4 and 6 pm), there is NO restriction on where those students may go. A 5th grade student is allowed to go to and play with a high school student, high school students are often encouraged to be around the playground for there grade school bothers and sisters; this is because of both potentional injurys, but also because it helps the students develop a friendship with both grade levels

Grade School students do have extra curicculer activitys before school. Cheerleading Club, Soccer Club, Track, along with at least two other sports

Sakura and Syaoran Kinomoto, two people that Kalshion and Katarina found in this dimention when asked, S+S last recalled heading the Tomoeda Elementary, after that they had appeared there, in that world that Kal and Kat are in. Kalshion doesn't know how the two made it, mostly because there world, CCS, was sealed off and both Sakura and Syaoran where suppose to be dead, seeing how 800 year's had passed since they last visited that world. The only thing Kalshion can think of is that they came from another dimention, either way both where put into the Academy as teachers, despite the two being 12 and 13 year's old. The students trusted them; and the staff and teachers have a high respect for the two; Kalshion is also dumb founded as to WHY Sakura and Syaoran have the same last name, as the two weren't related where he last saw them. Then again, being from another dimention might've been the reason. Sakura does have Clow Magic and so does Syaoran, which is why Kal is oh-so-confused

The Academy has six sections and is built upward, not flat. Only three floor's exist for each section, sometime's four and only one section have five floors. The Academy incorporate's a system that allows all 150,000 students to congregate at the same time

Thanks to the pocket dimention technology that Kalshion's friend developed, they are able to make several instance's of certain area's of the school, the gym and pool being one of them, so that students can use the facilitys at there whim

The Academy is the only building within the City "Mystical" that doesn't have any damage to it. And due to this, it is targeted by there enemy every couple weeks, but there attackers have yet to break the barrier that protects the students and there familys

To date, the Academy employ's 120,000 Teachers, an Administration staff of only 10, the school is mostly student run as there are 6 different council boards (For each grade level. Pre-School, Junior , Reguler, Senior Elementary , Junior and Senior High)

The one difference thatacademy has that set's it apart from other schools, is that the students never leave the classroom; only the teachers switch classrooms. The only time's the students leave the classroom is either to go Home Ecc, Music, Gym, or naturally, Lunch and Dinner (Yes, dinner is served since the Academy goes to 9 pm at night)

The only class that students don't leave there classrom for is Gym, and thats whne the reguler turns ugly but then again, they still do exercise's while in class when that occurs

Other than Sakura and Syaoran Kinomoto, the only other two people who are not native to the dimention is Nei and Layla, he doesn't know who they are, nor what world they came from.

That end's this Informational Chapter, look for Chapter 1 tomorrow

[Kasawa Lanford]

Chapter 1

Kalshion walked through the halls of the Academy. He glanced to both sides, watching students talking amongst each other, looking at textbooks, or just standing there waiting for class to start

"Morning Kalshion-sempai" Said a young student

He stopped and glanced over at the young girl. "Viola.." he said. "What can I do for you today?"

She walked up to him, hand's clasped behind her back. "Nothing! Just saying hello," she smiled at him before running off to her class

He stood there, hand's on his hips and smiling ever so slightly. "Who was that?" he heard from behind. He turned around and saw his sister. "Viola, 3rd grade, class 6, class president." Kalshion folded his arms. "How are the twins?"

Katarina shooked her head. "Still searching... they in what's left of America right now, they've found a few hold out's here and there but the majority of them are fighting." Katarina said. "So far he's lost at least two of his people"

"Two....." Kalshion sighed. "Two students to me more exact... who?"

She opened an attendance book of the trip. "10th grader Bastin and 12th grader Shariain" she said as she marked there names. "We'll have a funeral for them next week. There familys want it."

Kalshion nodded before glancing at the clock. "Get all the high school students together in the assembly hall," he said and walked away

Several hour's passed, Kalshion had addressed the high school student's about what was going on. "Japan is still rebuilding, and the government still wants us to find hold outs"

"What about Katisans group?" a student in that assembly hall asked

He sighed. "He lost two students, mostly because of one of the hold out's didn't want our help so they attacked the convoy"

The students looked at each other, the high school level students where all being taught how to use magic in certain ways, so they all qualified for these trips. Some of the grade school students where also being taught but Kalshion refused to call upon there help since he considered Grade Schoolers children and the only children he could trust with these assignments was his own kid's

After the assembly he had chosen a few students to go with him. His daughter was with him the whole time though, and he finally had to tell her that she needed to stay behind, being only six she had issue's understanding; but that wasn't the real reason she stayed with him mostly, he didn't mention much but she was the child in the dragon family who was ridden with a disease, although he wasn't at liberty to say what it really was

A couple more hour's passed, he was on a helocraft waiting; most of the students he had chosen where already with him, only a few where late. The pilot's where getting ansy; he could tell by the fact that they where constantly looking over there shoulder at him

"We need to going" one of the pilots said

Kalshion's arms where folded. "With the barrier up where shielded by outside spirits, I'd rather stay here a litlte while longer than head out"

"But your a quantom being right?" The pilot asked

He smiled. "Of course I am." Kalshion said, the pilot smiled and turned way. If it wasn't for the fact that my sister and the rest of my family lost our ability to shield ourselves, i wouldn't be this worried he said to himself

[Kasawa Lanford]

Chapter 2

Kalshion clutched the underside of his seat, holding onto it tightly as the air craft suddenly hit an air pocket and dropped

"Sorry!" Yelled the pilot

The ten students he had with him just nodded, or other wise acknowledged the pilots lack of piloting skills. As they neared the location Kalshion could feel the stillness in the air. "Where arriving near a city in Germany, one of the hardest hit by the Searing."

Some of the students twisted in there seats, apperently they didn't like wearing the robe's they had been assigned, true he had a few already complain to him that there uniforms where a lot more confortable, but the robes where made with special materials to help protect the wearer from the spirits that often times attacked unprotected people.

The air craft suddenly stopped in mid air, Kalshion could hear the rotors change from "Flight" to "Vtol".

He glanced out the window and saw just how banged up the land was, buildings topled over here and there, and dust blowing up from the frequent wind storms, it was winter so there was snow on the ground, but due to the nature of this land... it was red snow and toxic.. but thanks to there robs, and Kalshion's knowledge of protective spells, they wouldn't have to worry about that little nuisance

It wasn't long before he felt the craft touch the ground and the rotors suddenly slow, but non-the-less, where still active. "Come on," Kalshion said to his students as they disembarked the craft. He watched as the craft took off, it's new job was to circle the city and provide any information on spirit sighting, or if there was perhaps anyone alive, although he doubted it since Germany was the first country hit

He started there search at a grade school, they'd always had luck finding people there.. at least they did back in france, egypt and england... maybe they'd have luck here to. The group entered the school and looked around, "I think I like our academy better." One student quiked

"I hear you," another commented as he shined his magi light into a crevice, but sighed when he found nothing. "This place hasn't seen life in years."

Another student was with them, she wasn't a high school student, but a Reguler Elementary Student who was chosen randomally to accompany the group on this exhibition. Her name was Sharia, almost the same as one of Kalshion's children, which was mostly why he had her stay with him because she was young and didn't know any magi spells to defend herself. All she had for defense was four bracelets, two located on her legs and the other two around her wrists, the four worked in tandom with each other to create a force barrier that protected her from most dangers, but there was always something that wasn't defendable, and Kalshion knew that

The group continued through the hallways of the buildings, they used there abilities to put the dead to rest, finding skeletons of both children and adults, it made some of his own students gage, which he understood. "Just put them to rest, thats the best we can do." he always said to those students. "Besides, for each skeleton, each ghost, we put to rest means one less spirit to harm us." His students knew the lesson well, the last exhibition they had turned into a disaster when the random student, also a Reguler ES, choose to wonder away from the group, when they found him he was dead and so was a member of the group.

Several more hours passed before the group finally came upon a locked door. "Hmmm..." Kalshion tapped his finger on the door and noticed a rippling effect. "I see... a Magi Shelter..."

"Didn't you have those things built awhile back?"

"Three year's before the Searing occured.. unfortantly not all of them where completed.. but this one apprently was," Kalshion said as he placed his hand on the barrier, and concentrated, he said some words in a language that none of the group could understand. The door's soon parted and Kalshion found himself staring at twenty three bodys and only two unconcious. "Not possible.. the shelters where made so that the human body would absorb the magi energy as food.. thats why we don't eat substance back at the academy"

"Well..." one student spoke up. "We choose to but we don't have to"

Kalshion nodded and walked in. The two he found unconcious, one was an adult, the other a child. "These two have been out for the better part of the month" he shook his head. "Somethings not right... the shelters magi can only stay active for a year" he turned back toward the twenty bodys. "But the decay tells me that this shelters been sealed shut for over ten years." he said

A student of his walked around before finding a hole. "Ummmm! Sensai!" he yelled, Kalshion turned around and soon knew exactly what just happened. "GET OUT! Back to the Transport!" he yelled. "Grab Sharia and get out of here." He spun around and waited until all his students where out then slammed the door shut, as he expected the shelter had been compromised somehow. He turned back around and followed the group, he could feel the intensity in the area get stronger and stronger as they ran. "Move! Just Move! Don't Stop!" he yelled as they passed through the doors of the school and out into the court yard, where they all suddenly stopped. "Shot..." Kalshion said as he looked in all directions. "Where surrounded!" one student shouted in a panic

He glanced about. "Randus Musci!" Kalshion yelled and a barrier appeared around the group and suddenly expanded, annilating all the spirits that where around them. "Transport Echo! Get down here right now!"

~You've got a hot LZ! Clear it!~

He snarled and sighed. "Fine then... Randus Musci Luveni!" the barrier changed to a hot white color and expanded outward again, the transport splashed through the barrier and landed on the ground, so hard the tirer split in half. The group made it to the transport, Kalshion ran around the ship itself, grabbed the broken tire peice, and got aboard just as the craft took off for the air. About half way into the air the craft suddenly lurched forward, and everyone hit the deck. The auto pilot engaged soon after and the craft started back to the Academy. That's one less pilot now.... Kalshion said, he could see the light under the pilots door, the cockpit had somehow been absorbed by the spirits, that was the problem with these craft. The crew bay was made with a mineral that pervented the spirits from absorbing it, also from penetrating it, but the cockpit wasn't made with that mineral due to all the delicate wiring. Thankfully the back up AI was located in there crew compactment so they didn't have to worry much

The return trip was uneventful, but something worried Kalshion. Those two unconcious people... they weren't people at all... he saw it at the last minute.. they had indeed died but apperently those spirits had taken over the body and was using it to draw them in. Perhaps they had a new enemy on there hands, or maybe the spirits learned a new trick, either way he had to talk to his sister about this when they got back

[Kasawa Lanford]

Chapter 3

A couple days had gone by since there exhibition; they'd lost only one person on the return trip, the pilot, who probably didn't even see it coming, nor even realized he was gone. At least the pilot died fast and didn't feel anything

He was at his home which was near the Academy, his sister was there, but his kid's where still at school; no rest for them since they where still studying. "How are you doing bro?" Katarina said while bringing in a plate with a few glasses of Lemonade

Kalshion took one of the glasses, twirled it around with his fingers, then took a sip. "Tired... we didn't find anyone but yet, those spirits somehow took the form of a human." he said and put the drink down. "How...."

He stared up at the sky for several hour's thinking, but couldn't figure it out. "Think the science department would know?"

She shrugged. "I don't, it's possible the military might be able to figure it out but right now most of them are at the north of town after a breach occured a day ago."

"No one was hurt, thats a good thing, but I'm still wondering how they figured it out." Kalshion continued to think to himself

"What about the INF Sharia?" Katarina took a sip of her drink. "She should be ready to go again"

Kalshion smiled. "The people know we don't come from this world, but I want to avoid using any of our technology"

Katarina nodded and turned around, she was about to walk away when they heard a knock on the door. The two of them looked at each other before a window appeared, Sakura was at the door and she was tired apperently. Katarina waved her hand and a door appeared near them, Sakura walked in and took a seat

"Konban-wa, Dragon-sama" Sakura said

"Konban-wa, Kinomoto-chan" Katarina and Kalshion said in unison. "What can we do for you?" Kalshion asked

Sakura handed Kalshion a folder, he opened it up and read it; after a couple minutes he nodded a few times and closed it. "Want to come along?" He asked her

Sakura glanced back, a little shocked at the request. "I don't mind, but what about Syaoran?"

Katarina smiled. "I'll let him know"

"Hai" Sakura smiled briefly then looked away from the two

"Meet me at the Academy hanger in an hour" Kalshion got up and walked over to the door. "Or.. you can come with me right now and we can get going"

She looked at herself. "Wearing this?"

"Our high school students where there uniforms while going out on exhibitions." Kalshions and looked at Sakura, he couldn't get the image out of his mind. Although this Sakura wasn't his big sister, the other Sakura he knew eight hundred year's ago was, and yet, both looked good in uniform. Maybe it was the design that set him off. After a few seconds he broke his train of though and walked through the door, Sakura followed him

"Have a nice trip." Katarina said as the door closed

[Kasawa Lanford]

Chapter 4
Mark of Violence

Sakura examined a book while they where in route to where ever they where going. She read it a few time's before putting it down. A few other people where with them, some high school students who obviously didn't know her; mostly because of the comment they made about her

"Why are you bringing another grade schoolers with us?" A student asked

Kalshion folded his arms. "She happens to be a teacher, she just wears the uniform because we are low on materials for what most adults wear" he said and gave the in question the 'mind your own bussiness' look

The student backed down and went back to his studying. There ship the INF Sharia, flew through the clouds without any turbulance, although there certainly was. The sky wasn't very friendly to air craft, unlike a hunded years ago where jets could fly with little to no turbulance, but thanks to the recent attacks by those in space, the sky has become very dangerous.

Sharia was a self concious vessel, crafted using a strange material that Kalshion, nor Katarina, where willing to talk of. The material allowed the ship to take on different size's, weather big or small, it was heavily armed, although you wouldn't know that from the outside. The ship itself was very sleek and smooth, it felt like a baby's skin if you where to run your hand over it; there wasn't any windows or port holes that normal craft had. In order for the pilot to see what was going on, he used Sharia's own eyes, which where really sensors, to see what was outside. But another thing was, that Kalshion and Katarina where able to see through materials, so sensors where useless for them since they didn't need them

But, Sharia is an AI and a self concious beinging, she could pilot the ship all by herself with no interfence from anyone else.

Kalshion watched the outside of the ship, lightning bolts had been striking the ship but not causing any damage. As they approuched the mountain ranges however he noticed a slight increase in weather activity, rain, ice, and then hurricane force winds, none of which caused any difficulty for Sharia

The ship came about as it found a hole in the weather and started it's descent through the weater. "Ok... according to the information that Kinomoto-san found, there's a shelter near here where over 100,000 people went to when the attacks occured"

"What insurance do we have that those blasted spirits haven't already broke in?"

"A lot, to high in elevation, there's no way for those spirits to live up here, there's no body for them to feed off of and no plant life for them to jump from. It'd be almost impossible for a spirit to get here." Kalshion said; although he knew that nothing was impossible

As the ship came toward the ground Kalshion and the rest of the exhibition appeared just below it. There robe's glowed red for a few seconds before turning orange, then yellow and finally green. "Ok, seems where good to go." A student as she checked her robe over

Kalshion nodded and the group began there journey through the dead raven. As they went through they noticed a lot of animal bodys, most of them where all frozen from the intense cold air and snow that fell. "Errie feeling..." another student said, glancing back and forth, it was obvious by his movements that he was feeling uneasy

"Don't worry." Kalshion said as he knelt down and checked the snow. It felt odd to his touch, he removed his glove and ran a finger through the snow. When he removed it his finger had blood on it. "Hmmm...." he looked around; the blood worried him. Sharia.. he said telepathicly. I have blood, anazlse the ground and keep a lock on us, the moment you pick up a trace of a spirit or something else, get us out

He heard a slight chirp as she confirmed his report and he continued. As they crept through the dead raven they soon came upon the shelter in question. "Cheyon Mountain..." Kalshion said. "Isn't that the mountain the United Military used to monitor activity both in and out of there country?" a student asked. "Yep"

A student walked up to the keypad, he knelt down and looked it over before checking it out a bit further. "I think I can open these doors." he said and typed in a few key numbers. As he did that Kalshion heard something, and it wasn't coming from the inside. He heard a bang and looked up. "Get us in! NOW!" He yelled and he ordered the rest of his student to hug the door. Above them was an odd looking ship, odd to the students but not to him. He knew exactly what it was but was wondering why it was here

The door's soon opened, and not a moment to soon, as the ship opened up and bathed the area around the shelter in plasma. The group locked the door behind them and started running down the corridor, a moment later the door behind them exploded, throwing one student through the air but landing on both feet thanks to his own magi abilitys

An army of strange beinging appeared at the now exploded door; there arms held what appeared to be plasma cannons and Kalshion didn't like there look."Silver P's?" he said and shook his head. "Not only did Sakura come from another dimension, but now it seems those things did to" he looked around. "Keep moving." he said and continued to run. He noticed a distinct lack of members in his group, but also recalled them 4 of them had been teleported out by Sharia; which left just him, Sakura, and one other.

They rounded and corner and kept going, the robot's behind them continued to chase them. He glanced over his shoulder, and briefly levateted off the ground and fired a bolt of super heated energy at the roof, causing it to cave in one the robots and allowing them to keep going. They finally made it to the hanger bay when the bay doors blasted apart and the ship that had attacked them before was present, it's two large cannons staring straight at them

"Errrrrr..." Kalshion stared at the ships cannons, to close for his own barriers to protect them, but far enough away to perhaps reflect any shot fired. He heard a whine and noticed a build up on those cannons, he closed his eyes, and the cannons fired

[Kasawa Lanford]

Continuation

Kalshion saw the flash, and then heard a whin. He opened his eye's and saw his sister standing in front of him, her hands outright and straight, a ball of blue energy emited outward toward the blast. "I can't leave you alone now can I?" he grinned and pushed the blast back into it's parent cannon

Everyone in that hanger bay ducked as the ship that had fired on them exploded from the blast being forced back. Katarina got back up and snarled, she knew just as much as Kalshion did that things weren't going as planned. "Whats wrong sis?"

"The academy got attacked, and our barrier failed." She cursed. "I've managed to evacuate everyone onto Sharia and into another world, but unfortantly, our only method of escape is to shift dimensions"

Kalshion agree'd and grabbed Sakura's hand. "Sis, we better leave now. Those spirits are more than likely drown to the destruction of the academy."

She nodded and looked around. She took out a symble that was similer to a mark of a covenant. She placed it on the ground and began to chant. "Bro... we'll be teleported to another world that's vastly different from our own, it appears to be in 17th century earth, but looks like magic is still around" the symble glowed blue as she concentrated even more; but it wasn't until it was complete is when she realized she had made a mistake in selecting that world. But before she could say anything; the group vanished from the bay and where they where headed was unknown now

The End?
