Author's Prefiction Ramblings

This Mewtwo apologizes for taking so long to get this chapter up. I've got too many story ideas in my head. Now, on with the fic.

***

Outside of Yuko Ichihara's shop...,xxxHolic universe...,

***

A blue light deposits the group of dimensional hopping heroes.
"Well, where are they?!" Meilin asks.
"Uh guys, someone, or something redirected us here. These aren't the interdimensional coordinates of that reactor." Josh explains.
"Then who brought us here?" Madison asks.
"She did." Sakura, Lee, and Kero say pointing out a young woman heading their way. Wulf readies his hammer and Meilin gets into a fighting stance. Josh also arms his missiles and Madison prepares to film the battle.
"Who are you and why did you bring us here?" Lee asks. 'Her aura is just as strong as Eli's, or even more so.' he sends to Sakura.
'Thought so. Another Syaoran Sakura pairing, but their dimension is much different.' "How can you cross dimensions without magic?" the woman asks.
"We don't use magic." Sakura explains. "We came to return this." she says and shows the feather.
"I see...,Fei Wong Reed's villainy reaches further than I guessed. My name is Yuko Ichihara.""
"You said Fei Wong Reed....,is he related to an alternate version of Clow?" Lee asks.
"Yes. he is a direct descendent of Clow Reed." Yuko answers.
"Is there a Sian Reed in this multiverse?" Josh asks.
"No. It seems you come from a very different branch of the tree." Yuko states. The others get questioning looks until Josh snaps his fingers.
"The many worlds interpretation(1)." Josh states. "It's the theorem that makes interdimensional existence and travel a possibility." Josh sighs and gathers his thoughts in order to explain to his friends in layman's terms. "Yuko referred to our home dimension as a branch on a tree. That tree is time itself. The many worlds interpretation says that all possibilities of a given event do happen. Only one possibility is experienced though. Our home dimension is only a specific time in which the events that we've collectively experienced do happen."
"Correct." Yuko says. "To my knowledge, the two of you...," she says pointing to Wulf and Josh, "only exist in two possible realities."
"Only two?" Josh asks curious. "That doesn't sound comforting within infinite possibilities."
"Can we get back on task here?" Meilin asks annoyed.
"You are also overseen by a force higher than myself. So that they don't start to oversee me as well, I shall send you to the true owner of that feather. I also ask that you rid this multiverse of this Sian Reed." Yuko states.
"We shall." Sakura responds and the group vanishes.

Unknown location...,

***

Two dark mages circle each other. Neither daring to make the first move for fear of making a mistake. Three observers watch the duel.
"Why did you choose this dimension to go to in the first place?" Akurax complains.
"It's the computer that picks the places we go to." Skynet states.
"You idiot, why would you let random chance dictate where we go?" Akurax asks.
"It's impossible to know what we'll find in any of these dimensions, you stupid bat." Skynet retorts.
"I ask you again, how did you breach my dimension without the use of magic?" Fei Wong Reed asks.
"I, Sian Reed, don't answer to anyone." Sian states as his fiery aura rises up.
"Reed? You are of my heritage?"
"Wait, I'm in a reality where my brother existed?! Bastard! Must I be haunted by you everywhere I go?!" Sian rants.
"Brother? Clow Reed never had a brother." Fei states.
"What! I don't have an alternate self here in this multiverse! How disgusting."
"Why are you here?" Fei asks.
"I'm dimension hopping with my two guardians and one ally in order to obtain enough power to crush my enemies." Sian states.
"Come with me...,we have things to discuss." Fei states and the two mages along with the other three vanish.

Tsubasa Chronicles...,Tokyo Revelations OVA...,

***

"Acid rain! Shield card now!" Lee shouts and Sakura quickly summons the card and the shield protects them from the acid.
"What the hell happened here?" Meilin asks.
"Looks like some sort of post apocalyptic city...,not sure which one though." Josh states.
"Can you sense the owner of that feather?" Lee asks.
"Yeah, this way." Sakura states and the group follows.
"Tokyo." Tao, who had been quiet up until this point states.
"And just how would you know that?" Meilin asks.
"I've been around more than you have. What, you haven't had enough alone time with Wulf?" Tao asks.
"Oh just shut up." Meilin spits back.

Fei Wong Reed's hideout...,

***

"You sure he's going to stay asleep?" Sian says looking at the figure in the tank.
"Yes." Fei replies.
"Hmmmm, doesn't feel like." Sian states.
"What? What do you mean?" Fei asks.
"His magic is stirring. Whatever you're using to keep him sleeping is going to fail soon. But, I've got a solution...,dark lover's card, give this Syaoran a lustful sleep." Sian says and dark bands of energy enter the tank and the sleeping figure falls further into sleep.
'A card?" Fei asks.
"In the reality I come from, Clow made a collection of cards. This particular one is one of mine though." Sian explains.
"Most interesting, and you say that this other Sakura controls these cards?" Fei asks.
"Yes." Sian says smiling at his new card's handy work.

Kamui's home...,

***

'Hmmm, they say that if you travel far enough that you eventually meat yourself. Well, our lovebirds have certainly traveled far enough, so there their alternate selves stand...,I think.' Fay muses to himself. 'Looks like Kuro-chan has found himself a new sparring partner.' Fay continues watching as Kurogane and Wulf size each other up. 'Mokona certainly freaked out when it detected that feather coming straight for us. Then the looks on the lovebirds' faces when they met themselves was priceless. I wonder why their Tomoyo is named 'Madison'? Kuro-chan certainly thought she was Princess Tomoyo. Thinking about alternate versions of people we know that live in alternate dimensions makes my head spin.'

"This is getting confusing. You say that you found one of Sakura's feathers in your dimension...," Syaoran begins as Mokona sits on his head translating Syaoran's speech into Lee and Sakura's language. "...,and you've now chased a magician named Sian Reed to this multiverse in order to stop him from gaining enough power to destroy you guys. Does this Sian know about Sakura's feathers?"
"To our knowledge no." Lee says after Mokona had hopped onto his head.
"Thank you for bringing the feather." Princess Sakura says to the other Sakura.
"No problem. Hopefully it'll be the only feather we find on our journey. It'll be quite difficult to find you guys again." Sakura states.
"Yeah, Yuko was the one who brought us here to this dimension in the first place. I don't think Josh could find you guys." Kero says.
"What's your next move?" Syaoran asks.
"Josh will find the interdimensional signal of the interdimensional reactor that will lead us to Sian." Lee explains and Mokona holds its head from translating Lee's answer.
'Mistress.' the female half of the lover's card telepathically communicates.
'Yes?' Sakura replies.
'They are both clones.'
'What?'
'They are clones. However, they both love each other. They should be allowed to 'bond'.'
'I don't think...,'
'They need this.'
'Alright.' Sakura relents and summons the card behind her back.

Fei Wong Reed's hideout...,

***

A blue light flashes for a moment depositing the travels. The group of heroes start quietly sneaking around until they come to the room where they were hearing voices. Lee's eyes widen seeing the figure in the tank.
'Am I seeing double?' Lee sends to Sakura.
'No, that must be the real Syaoran.'
'Real?"
'The lover's card informed that the Sakura and Syaoran we met are clones.'
'Lover's card? That explains why they wanted alone time after our conversation.'
"So, what's the plan?" Wulf asks.
"Josh, free the Syaoran that's in that tank. Tao, Icious, distract Tarsis. Meilin, Wulf, take care of Akurax. Me and Lee will deal with the Reeds." Sakura explains.
"This trip has been very confusing." Josh states.
The group of heroes attack the unsuspecting group of villains. Tarsis finds out very quickly that Icious wasn't scared of him.
"Squirm!" Icious shouts as her segmented blade rips into Tarsis's fur and flesh. He howls in pain.
"Do you two actually think you can beat me?" Akurax asks
"Shut up!" Meilin shouts throwing a high kick at the vampire's head. Akurax moves, but catch the blade of Wulf's hammer in his left side.
"Is this how they operate?" Fei asks.
"No, they aren't so daring!" Sian shouts casting a spell that harmlessly crashes against the shield card.
"Element...," Lee begins.
'So, that his move. Just like the one I've got in the tank.' Fei think.
"Light!" Lee finishes.
'Light!' was Fei last thought before the purifying element rips through him. He lyes on the ground unconscious.
'Fool, didn't have what it took. He was to cofident.' Sian thinks. "Akurax, Tarsis, let's go catch up with Skynet now!" Sian orders and he and his minions leave.
"How is he?" Lee asks coming over to Josh and the other Syaoran.
"He's still asleep." Josh reports.
'Bring him to me.'
"Yuko?" Sakura asks.
'Yes. Your genius should be able to get back to my dimension.' Yuko states.

***

Yuko's shop...,

***

"Will...," Sakura begins to ask.
"In time. The spell that dark lover's card put on him was quite bad."
"Uh guys, they've jumped out of this multiverse." Josh reports.
"We've got to go." Sakura says hurriedly..
"Good luck." Yuko states and the group vanishes. "You'll need it.
