New Hero, New Legend
Welcome to my first Tsubasa Chronicles, and this is going to be quite a challenge as this involves one of CLAMP's popular characters and one of my favorites: Cardcaptor Sakura, and this will probably not going to be an easy one to make, as I did a lot of research between both Sakura and another popular manga, Tsubasa Chronicles.
After researching Tsubasa Chronicles on wikipedia, I was taken by surprise by the fact that Syaoran is the son of Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li and that he was born on an alternate version, which at first made me mistook them as being from Cardcaptor Sakura's world, and though he is said to be an alternate version of his father, I guess that makes him a "junior of sorts". Though the manga is still ongoing, I decided to take some liberties and make certain changes since this is a fanfiction.
Well, as I said, this is probably a difficult fic to make, as I have no access to the manga, (the volumes so far being sold at the bookstore I frequently hang out ranges from vol. 5 to 11, as the country I'm from is the Philippines) I had to rely on the info I read from wikipedia, so I guess this will make do. I mean, it's a fic, right?
After a reader told me that volume 223 of the manga said Syoaran's parents are revealed there, I couldn't find it on the net on where to read an online manga so I had to re-read wikipedia again for better understanding, and so far I was able to understood most of the plot, but this give me an idea on how to execute this fic, and hence I'll be going to make it an alternate universe-like setting of the story (popularly known as AU). Instead of the "clone Syaoran" reborn as being the father of the reborn "Real Syaoran", I'll have the "clone Syaoran" have a new lease in life and his own adventure. Here he'll be born a "junior", if you know what I mean.
Though this is rather a spin-off from my other fic, Decade, in which it originated from the "Kuuga's World" story arc that involves some of the Tsubasa Chronicles characters that I wrote, I decided to have the setting placed in Sakura's world as I have plans for Syaoran Jr. At the same time I'll be using elements from another Japanese show that was aired in 2000 to 2001– Kamen Rider Kuuga. That show has some elements pertaining to archeology which was also seen with Chronicles so this will be a good point-combo.
While Sakura and Syaoran Sr. (alternate versions) will be there, I'll be focusing on junior here as he'll be the main character here. Of course there's going to be some new enemies introduced here after some brief cameo appearances from Fei Wong Reed as well as some of the cast from xxxHolic. Of course this story is set some years after Tsubasa Chronicles which shifts to Cardcaptor Sakura world, which will be the fic's setting.
Without further ado, let the story begin!

A few years ago…
At the Clow Country, Fei Wong Reed was now losing the battle as his best men are being trampled by the combined efforts of Syaoran, Kurogane, Fei D. Flourite and Mokona, and was hoping that Princess Sakura, his hostage would provide him significant leverage for him to escape, he knew that he can't lose to those young fools and thought of something to exact revenge on them for ruining his plans. He thinks and thinks until his crystal ball lit up and revealed Syaoran's point of origin and realized that Sakura Kinomoto is to be blamed for this and decided to at least gain a measure of revenge by soiling terror on the REAL world before he meets his ultimate defeat at the hands of his pursuers.
Then a thought hit him as he opened his books and then glanced at his crystal ball and discovered something useful that would give him the ultimate vengeance in case he dies at Syaoran's hands and went to the site where Syaoran's "hometown" (In Tsubasa Chronicles' world) is where archeologists are digging. There he discovered an ancient civilization where an ancient race once existed. They are called the Grongi and learned of what they can do. Using his powers, Fei Wong Reed hypnotizes the archeologists into breaking the seal which freed the now awakened lord of the Grongi …N-Daguba-Zeba.
Daguba then murdered the archeologists before facing Fei Wong Reed. Reed then told Daguba his reasons for freeing him and told him that he can send Daguba to a world where he can have free reign in performing his race's "end game" as well as ruling the world. The Grongi Lord graciously accepted the offer and Reed sent him to the REAL world where he goes into "hibernation" so he can regain full strength to enable his "reign" and "end game" to commence he's fully energized.
Returning to his lair, He is about to kill Princess Sakura when Syaoran (the REAL Syaoran) arrived and fought Reed while Kurogane and Fei fought off the hordes of demons under Reed's command, and after a hard-fought battle the scenario ended. Syaoran stabbed and beheaded Reed and saved the princess, and all of her feathers are restored. Peace has returned and every damage brought upon by Reed's actions were magically repaired.
Sakura's memories have returned and thanks to their efforts Kurogane and Fei can return to their world and their wishes granted without having to sacrifice their treasured possessions. However, the "dimensional witch", Yuko Ichihara, informed Syaoran that He can now go back to his world and he can also visit the Clow County anytime, thus he can continue having his relationship with Princess Sakura.

Meanwhile, the "Clone Syaoran" was reborn in Hong Kong but has moved to Tomoeda at the age of 12 after his parents died in a plane crash and is now being brought upon by Fujitaka Kinomoto, who is japan's leading archeologist, and from there on he came to live with the Kinomoto family along with the Kinomoto children, Touya (aged 19) and Sakura (aged 12). Though portions of his past life at the Clow Country still lingers in his mind, Syoaran is now happy with his new life, and he legally changed his last name (with Fujitaka's help) to Dai.
To Be Continued…
Hope the revised opening was a big help, and I do hope you readers will get a better understanding now that I somehow understood most of the story's plot. And though I should have deleted the story and start over again, I chose not to and instead re-post the first three chapters from here on.
Note:
The name "Dai" is taken from the name "Godai", which is the surname of the character Yuusuke Godai, who is trhe main character from the 2000-2001 Japanese TV show, Kamen Rider Kuuga. I thought of using that as a homage and give Syaoran a surname as to give him his own identity as he is now starting a new life.
Preview:
Clone Syaoran (now Syaoran Dai) gets a first taste living a normal life and adjusts to his ne world, while N-Daguba-Zeda wakes up in the same world as Syaoran Dai, and makes preparations to cause havoc here and there his evil slowly makes his prsence known.
