To Catch Up with You

Ch. 4 Revealed Beast
That was it! It was that same aura from before! Their senses were flooded. They quickly scrambled out of the water and grabbed their towels, running out leaving their belongings behind. The only things on their minds was, 'I have to hurry! Before someone gets hurt!' As they neared the beast the felt another aura. But this one was different. It wasn't black, it was a dark blue, but held a good sense to it. It felt so familiar, but they couldn't put a finger on it. It felt as if the blue aura was fighting the black one. They ran as fast as their legs could carry them. It took them a good 5 min. to reach the two other auras. They entered a park. The park was still under construction. As they neared, 2 figures were forming. One was large and was radiating black while the other figure was smaller and radiated a blue. When they reached the sight, It finally hit them. It was Eriol. He was fighting a large Hydra about 30 feet tall. It had 5 heads, large black wings, a black, shinny, body, and red eyes. "So thats what scared the shit outta the animals." Li said. Sakura elbowed him in the ribs. "Watch your mouth." "Sorry." Eriol was in a fighting position with his staff in front of him. He felt a wave of power wash over his senses. He was right. He knew they would come. He backed up slowly til he was about a yard away from them. "So, what took you so long my decendant and Card Mistress?" Sakura was about to answer but was cut off by Li. "WE WERE RUNNING HERE! THATS WHAT!" Li yelled. "No need to yell. Im standing right here." Eriol said in a calm voice. Even after the Clow Cards were converted into Sakura cards Li still hasn't forgave him for causing trouble but mostly cause he hurt Sakura.
Sakura spoke up, "Sorry Eriol, we were busy." An evil grin came across his face. One of his famous smirks too, It was the 'Im-so-evil-aren't-I?' Li hated that smile! He just wanted to rip off Eriol's face right there and then. Eriol backed up some more til he was shoulder to shoulder with Li. "Doing what?" Eriol said gesturing to their towels. "Don't even start!" Li was fuming now. "We got bigger problems at hand." Li said pointing towards the Hydra. Sakura took the chance to ask a question.
"What is that thing? And why is it here?"
"First of all, its a Hydra. Second, it was sent on a mission."
Li butted in, "But who sent it?" Eriol shrugged. "Im not sure." "So thats why you came back." Li said in disgust. Eriol just acted as if he was sad but inside he was playing. "Im hurt Li." He said with a bit of playfulness in his voice. "I also came cause of another reason." "Oh, and whats that?" As soon as Eriol was about to answer, the hydra was really pissed cause they were in a conversation and ignoring him! He swung his tail hard at the three of them. "HEADS UP!" Eriol yelled. Sakura and Li looked just in time and jumped out of harms way. Eriol jumped to the right, and Sakura and Li jumped to the left.
The beast was causing alot of damage around it. It was destroying slabs of cement, destroying trees, and knocking over street lamps. It looked as if a Typhoon just came trough. The beast threw its 5 heads into the air and roared. 5 different sounds came from the Hydra. Sakura was lost in thought and was frozen stiff with fear. Li saw this and started to shake her.
"C'mon Sakura! This is no time to daydream! Get the sealing wand out!" She snapped back into reality. "Huh? What?" Li sighed and shook his head. "Hurry and get the sealing wand out!" She nodded and concentrated. Her staff appeared before her and a bright light illuminated the area. She grasped the wand in her right hand and held out her left. Her forefinger and middle finger together, pointing up. She concentrated and a card appeared in her hand. She tossed it out. "Windy! Release!" The windy appeared and headed straight to the Hydra, ready to attack.
The first head on the Hydra quickly turned and saw windy racing towards it. At the same time Windy attacked, it countered attack. It blew a strong gust of wind at windy. Knocking it back, past Sakura, and into a tree, ripping the tree in two pieces. The card reverted back to its card form and appeared in Sakura's hand. She summoned another card. Watery appeared in her hand. "Watery! Release!" Watery was an offense card so it wasted no time and quickly headed for one of the heads. Another head turned and before Watery had a chance to attack it was sent flying towards Sakura. Sakura quickly resealed it before it hit her. "Darn! Their not working!" Li said as he cursed under his breath. He grabbed his pendant and transformed it into a Sword. "C'mon Eriol! Lets help her!" Eriol knodded and took a fighting position.
Sakura took out another card. Firey. *I was afraid of using this card, Firey's just too unpredictable.* She tossed it out. "Firey! Release!" Firey came out and spread its wings as far as it could. It knew what to do. It set off at a quick pace and attacked. The beast didn't see it coming and was hit. The beast barely flinched. It lifted its large foot off the ground and smacked Firey. Firey flew straight for the ground It landed with a loud 'BOOM!' It struggled to get up but failed and was returned to a card.
Sakura started to get dizzy. She was using all of her power, and there was no stars during the day to empower her. She steadied herself with her wand. And pulled out the freeze card. "Freeze! Release!" The freeze shoots out of its card and makes a direct hit. The beast Roars with pain. It slowly regains it stance and counter attacks with a fireball. Freeze gets hit and quickly returns to its card state.
An Idea hit Eriol. "The beast is weak against water attacks. That gives me an idea." Eriol looks at Li. Li nods and says, "Way ahead of ya." At the same time, they attacked. Eriol sent a rather large spout of water at the creature as Li sent a Large bolt of lightning. They make a direct hit and the beast is now howling in pain. It was flapping its wings viciously, stomping its feet hard against the ground and leaving holes, and was swishing its tail every direction. "NOW SAKURA!" Sakura knodded and called on wood. "Wood! Release!" Wood shot out of the ground, wrapping the beast in a tangle of vines. Sakura then calls on the last card. "Earthy! Release!" Earthy dove straight into the ground. The beast was in too much pain to notice. Cracks appeared around the beast. The beast threw its heads high into the air and roared with might, shooting its power into the air. Fire, Wind, Water, Ice, and Thunder erupted from the beast as the earth opened up and swallowed the beast, sending it back to hell.
A small smile appeared on her lips, "Finally. Its over." She said as everything slowly grew black.
