Episode #6: Sakura and the Final Strike

The purple sky glimmered with the first rays of sunlight as they touched the horizon beautifully. Vung was changing her clothes as quiet as possible and looked at her clock. "It's 6:00 A.M.," she said to herself, "I better get going!" Vung changed into looser clothes so she could move around easily.
On her top, she wore an unbuttoned yellow vest with a blue shirt underneath. She wore loose baggy orange pants and tied on steel toe boots. "I don't care if I get hurt, as long as I get my friend back." Vung opened the window, the slight morning breeze lifted her hair as it spread everywhere over her face. She took a red hair band and tied the end of her hair. She got one foot out of the window and was taking out the other foot until...
"Vung," Wei gasped, "What are you doing?" Vung had a guilty look on her face, "I'm sorry Wei, this is just something I have to do." "Vung," he interrupted before she could jump out, "You aren't facing Lung Da by yourself are you!?" Vung nodded with Wei seeing the back of her head. "Then as my student, you know that you shouldn't do this all by yourself!" Vung put both feet out the window, "That's the thing Wei..." she paused and then jumped out, "…I'm not your student anymore!"

"Finally!" Tew Lo rejoiced as he scratched his goatee, "Nothing will make your good side come out now, will it Lung Da?" Lung Da got on one knee and bowed, "Yes master," he said, "I will not be given through any emotion anymore, all people who once cared about me shall be killed!" Tew Lo gave a slight chuckle. "Leave us Lung Da, for I must bind with the magic guardians magic power you got for me!" Lung Da bowed once more and ran off.
"She's coming," Tew Lo said, "But she will now find out that I turned her love into her executioner."

"SYAORAN-SAMA!" Wei shook Syaoran awake. "Wei?" Syaoran asked as he saw his blurred vision, "Syaoran-sama, Vung is going to face Lung Da by herself, you must go help her!" Syaoran quickly popped out of his bed and frantically searched his desk for his cell phone. When he finally found the cell phone, he immediately called for Sakura's number on speed dial.

RINGGGGGGGGGGG RINNNNNGGGGGGGGGG
Sakura took her hand out of her bed sheets and reached for her alarm clock and tried to turn it off.
RIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG RIIIIINNGGG
Sakura couldn't turn the alarm off so she woke up and checked her cell phone. She picked it up and greeted, "Moshi moshi?"
"Sakura!" Syaoran exclaimed. "Syaoran-kun?" she inquisitively asked. "Vung is gone, she's going to fight Lung by herself!" Sakura surprised popped her eyes open.

Vung carefully approached the bush that Sakura talked about and touched a leaf. She then took each leaf off one by one until she saw a black empty hole. Then taking both hands, she uprooted the bush out of the ground and the hole appeared to be the same size as the bush. "Here goes nothing!" she said as she jumped in.
Vung opened her eyes and looked around, but it was totally dark, she then heard water drip and then tried to follow the sound. But then the water dripping stopped, "LUNG DA, COME OUT I KNOW YOU'RE HERE, JUST COMEOUT AND SHOW YOURSELF!" Nobody answered. "LUNG DA I'M WARNING YOU-" Suddenly, all the lights in that cave flickered on, pedestal by pedestal, until a voice echoed throughout the whole cave. "So you've really come to die first?" Tew Lo's voice sounded as he showed up in full form.
Vung clenched her teeth, "So you're that Hakguay that Syaoran Li keeps talking about?" Tew Lo just laughed out loud, "This Hakguay has a name, allow me to introduce myself--" "Screw your introduction," Vung snapped, "I want Lung, where is he?" Tew Lo snickered and snapped his fingers. Lung came barging out with stern, steady, merciless, eyes.
"Lung come out now!" Vung said, trying to bring his good side out. Lung just stared at her with the same cold look. "Lung snap out of it!" Once again Lung remain unchanged, "Ha ha!" Tew Lo roared, "You know he's immune to you now, Lung Da...kill her!" Vung opened her eyes in astonishment.
Lung Da took no mercy and rushed up to her and punched her in her abs. He grappled her head and flipped her. Tew Lo just laughed on the sidelines. "Well, I've got to complete my ritual, see you in hell!" "Bastard..." Vung muttered getting up. But Lung hit her down on her face again. Lung taking advantage, picked her up by the hair, and pinned her to the rock hard wall. He punched her once in the face and bruised her cheek as her back of her head hit the wall, as he prepared to hit her again, Vung thought to herself, 'I gotta fight back.' She opened her hand in front of his face and screamed out an attack, "Phoenix Flash!" All of the sudden, bright light flashed in his eyes and he was blinded for a moment.
Vung punched his gut, chopped his neck, kneed his face, and kicked the back of his knees so he could bend down. Any finally, she put his head between her thighs and flipped him over so he hit his head on the rock hard floor. Vung rolled away, and Lung slowly got up. Vung huffed and puffed, and Lung growled. Vung could feel the earth below her shaking. 'What's happening now?' she thought as the earth began to tremble a little harder.
Suddenly, Lung jumped in the ceiling of the cave and Vung stood staring at him in astonishment. Lung charged up his fist and began to growl a little more. "DRAGON EARTH PUNCH!!!" he shouted as he hit the floor with his fist.
The ground shook uncontrollably now and Vung lost her balance and fell on her tush. "How is he doing this?" she asked, and then a rock hit her on the head. Lung approached Vung's body, and just when he was about to lay a hand on her.
"RAI-DEN SHOU-RAI!" Syaoran shouted as he shot a thunderbolt at Lung Da. Lung Da however, just grabbed his thunder in his bare hand. Lung Da looked at Syaoran with his green robe, and Sakura with a light-blue karate suit with a bow on her instead of a belt. Syaoran and Sakura just looked on in astonishment and charged towards him. Lung pulled his hands back and charged the thunderbolt Syaoran threw at him. As Sakura and Syaoran approached closer, Lung Da shot off the thunderbolt, "SHINKU-HADOKEN!" (Sorry I couldn't resist.) Syaoran got hit directly in the chest and he flew off. Sakura looked back and checked on him.
"Syaoran-kun?" she asked in concern. Syaoran just coughed and comforted her, "I'm okay, just do your best!" Sakura, turned around and stared at Lung's gleaming eye, "You, you've done enough hurting already Lung Da!" she told him, "Please Lung Da, for Syaoran's sake just come out and be who you used to be, just stop hurting!" Lung Da stood with no reaction to her reasoning.
Sakura got ready with her rod out and pulled out a card, "FIREY!" she called and fire came out and surrounded Lung Da, trying to burn him. But Lung Da stayed calm and sucked up the fire in his body. Sakura, stared surprised, "How?" she asked. Lung kneeled down and began to charge his fist with a light orange glow. "JUMP!" Sakura called out and jumped right towards Lung Da. "Take this! POWER!" Sakura rose up her rod ready to smash him. "SHIN-RYU-KEN!" (Sorry, been playing to much as Ken in MvsC2. ^_^) he shouted as he unleashed a fire uppercut and burned Sakura. Sakura flew off letting go of her rod as it spun in the air.
Lung looked at all his fallen opponents and saw Vung was the only one getting up. "It's over!" he said as he was ready to smash her, but as soon as he lifted his leg up to drop it on her. The rod that was still possessed by POWER dropped on his head and he got knocked out.
Vung quickly got up, "Oh my god! Lung Da! Lung Da! Wake up!" she frantically shook him to wake up, and he woke up clutching his head. "Noo...you can't be coming back! You can't--" Lung Da was still clutching his head, but his tone of voice changed, "Vung..." he said as he saw her in the corner of his eye. Vung began to rejoice, "Yes you're back!" she exclaimed, "Lung took one hand, reached the back of his robe, and pulled out a dagger which he threw on the ground next to her.
"You know what to do." he said. Vung looked at the dagger, questioning the thing he said. 'You know what to do?' she thought, "Oh no!" she said as she remembered.
To end it, he lifted up a dagger and was about to stab it down. The dagger inched closer and closer to Wei. "NO STOP!" Vung yelled, jumping in front of Wei. Then the dagger stabbed Vung in her stomach, the sheer pain in her made blood gush out and she screamed in agony.
"I can't do it!" she weakly yelled. "You must!" Lung said struggling, "That's the only way the evil side of me will go away. And besides, out of all the people, why did I stab you?" Lung began to tear up as much as Vung began to. "I don't want to Lung I can't do this!" she shouted. "But I do, do this for me!" Lung Da argued. He took her hand pulled her up so they could be face to face. "DO IT!" he demanded.
Vung just turned her head away from his and she refused. Lung finding no other choice, put his hand behind her, and pulled her close to his body so the dagger stabbed him. Vung screamed and shouted; as a black spirit escaped from his head it washed away. Vung began to cry as Lung laid there lifeless Syaoran saw him fall after he saw Lung force Vung to stab him and he began to scream out, "DAAAMMMMMIIIIIITTT!!!!!!!"

"Yes! Yes! I am what I want to be, I am a monster." Tew Lo shouted with happiness as a yellow light and a white light hit his body. "Keroberus, Yue, they have made me beyond human, they have made me...a monster, HAHAHAHAHAHA! Now it's time to get rid of them!" Tew Lo with yellow wings and white hair flew into the room, seeing Lung Da lying lifeless, and Vung looking at him with serious, merciless, eyes, Tew Lo gasped.
"You, you humans are still alive? How dare you defy me, with the power of Yue and Keroberus on my side, I am Tew Lo, and I am a--" "Shut up!" Vung interrupted with an agitated tone of voice, "I don't care who you are, cause I'm Vung Emily. And I'm kicking your f$#kin' @$$ back to the stone-age!"
"Fool," Tew Lo growled, "Defy--""Of course we defy you!" Sakura interrupted as she saw Tew Lo get angry, "As mistress of the Sakura Cards, Yue and Keroberus are under my guardians, but when they are hurt, they are under protection, people who drain their magic power will be punished."
"Fools! Prepare to--" "No," Syaoran yelled, "You prepare your tombstone, 'cause your gonna die! Lung Da was my best friend and like I say, I NEVER betray my friends!"
Tew Lo looked around and saw three people: Vung doing a crane stance with one leg up, Syaoran with his sword above his head, and Sakura with her rod in position. "Alright! All you will die right here right now!" Vung charged at him with a jump kick but he grabbed her leg and threw her to the ground. Syaoran came up from his back with his sword about to come down but Tew Lo elbowed him and smacked him with the back of his fist. Syaoran twirled down as Sakura jumped over him, "FIGHT!" she called, as a blue aura surrounded her. Sakura and Tew Lo were deflecting each other's moves and they fought in classic sparring, Sakura even managed to hit Tew Lo in the chest with her knee.
Tew Lo felt his chest, and then he stared at Sakura in the eyes, looking at her, reading her thoughts. "Die!" he said as he made multiple images of himself around Sakura. Sakura was confused and called out the power of another card. "ERASE!" she called, and all images but one disappeared. Tew Lo was surprised, but not surprised enough; he just appeared behind Sakura and slapped her around like a little rag doll.
Sakura screamed as each hit met her face, but Vung came to her rescue by kicking Tew Lo in his back and then beating his face like a rag doll. Vung spun around and did a kick to Tew Lo, but he grabbed her kick and set her upside down. As Vung tried to pull herself up, Tew Lo spread her legs open, cracking her pelvic area. Vung screamed of pain as Tew Lo dropped her back down. Tew Lo smirked at her immovable body, "Stupid, careless girl," he teased, "I won't be beaten by someone like you!" Suddenly, she crawled over to Tew Lo's legs and put her arms over his feet. "NOW SYAORAN!" she yelled.
Syaoran came with his sword swinging down ready to behead Tew Lo. But Tew Lo grabbed his sword with one hand and then smacked his face with the other hand. Syaoran fell face first to the ground. Sakura with her rod had sword equipped and was ready to slice him, but Tew Lo zapped her with a red laser beam.

Lung Da lifted up his hand and clutched his stomach. "I didn't think I was going to die like this," he said to himself. He picked up his dagger and got up, where he rushed to help his friends.

Tew Lo had laser beams going around hitting all three people. Tew Lo laughed so the cave would fill with echoes. "You all are going to die here right now!" "Don't bet on it Tew Lo!" Lung came in limping all the way. "Lung Da..." Vung said as she dragged herself to his feet. Syaoran had his back on a rock and he saw from his left eye, because his right eye streaked of blood, "Lung Da..." Sakura, pushed herself up and turned her head to see Lung, "Lung Da..." she whispered.
Lung Da looked at them all, and then turned his attention to Tew Lo, "Tew Lo, are you ready to die?" Tew Lo chuckled, "What's a man stabbed in the stomach going to do to me?" Lung cart-wheeled behind Tew Lo and side kicked him, "THIS!" Tew Lo astonished, turned around to see Lung gone. Lung dropped from the top instead and beat his face down. Tew Lo pushed him away.
"How?" Tew Lo asked, "I am a monster, how can you even hurt me at the least?" Lung bent on one knee taking a rest, "Don't forget this Tew Lo, you were in my head for a few years, don't you know that I know how you think like now?" Tew Lo got really angry and charged, "I'll show you!!!" he yelled. Lung calmly stood there bending down on one knee and waiting for him. Tew Lo inched closer and closer and closer and finally Lung Da ducked his arm about to behead him, and kicked him in the spine.
"This is it!" Tew Lo yelled, "I will end this once and for all!" Tew Lo began to glow white. "Oh my god! What is this?" Vung asked. Lung began to take caution and told everybody, "Everyone, back off! This is what he was preparing for." "DIE!" Tew Lo yelled. In slow motion, Tew Lo shot off his beam, everyone was shocked wondering who the target would be, and Lung Da crossed his arms as he got hit by the beam, Lung Da was hit to the wall at full force, and he continued to stick on the wall as the beam kept on pouring pressure on Lung Da from walking towards Tew Lo, everyone screamed out Lung Da's name.
"Die Lung Da!" Tew Lo shouted as the beam was still hitting Lung Da. Lung Da using all his strength took a step forward. Sakura stared and rooted for Lung Da in her head. Lung Da took a few more steps, and Syaoran saw him really determined, he nodded in approval. And then he took his last steps and was only a few inches from being face to face with Tew Lo, Vung cheered for him loudly, "Go Lung Da! Kick his butt!"
Tew Lo getting really angry floated a little bit off the ground and shot the laser beam down. "Bow to me," Tew Lo said as Lung began bending his knees. Lung bent down and put his hands down to not fly back. "Yes..." Tew Lo whispered.
All of the sudden, Lung shot his head up and used his dagger to stab Tew Lo right in his heart. Tew Lo stopped shooting the beam, and Lung Da fell to the ground. "How...could this...be?" Tew Lo asked as he disintegrated into dust.

In a small drawer, Kero woke up in his tiny room, "Wow...such a headache," he said to himself, "Wait a second...I'm alive!" Kero rejoiced as he woke up.

In the hospital, Yukito woke up with flowers on the side of his bed and heard beeping sounds. He began to see a blurry image of the person next to him. On a chair, Touya was sitting next to him. "It's about time you woke up Yuki!" Touya said with a slight smile. Yukito smiled back. 'Looks like Sakura succeeded,' he thought to himself.

As Sakura rejoiced in the defeat of Tew Lo, Lung Da laid unconsciously, Vung dragged herself and sprawled herself all over his body. Syaoran stood up above his friend's head. "Everything will be okay won't it Lung..."Syaoran began to have a tear fall down his cheek, "Lung I promised you we would bring you back, and I, and I..." Syaoran began to close his eyes as the tears fell out. "Thank you, Syaoran Li, Vung, I never had such good friends," Lung said with a choked voice, "I'm lucky!" Vung cried all over his chest, "Please Lung Da, please don't die on me!" she ordered him. "I'll never die on you, because I loved you!" Vung snapped her head up and looked at him, " And I still love you, but I didn't know until I found out for myself," he said as he began coughing.
Sakura began to hug Syaoran as she cried too. "No don't die," Sakura yelled, "You're a friend now, and friends can't die." Lung Da smiled, "Thank you Sakura...now I know why Syaoran chose you, you're so cheerful and forgiving. I only wish I knew how to make it up to you." Sakura cried and she hugged Syaoran tighter. "Well, goodbye everyone..." he said as he closed his eyes finally.
"LIAR!!!" Vung screamed, "You said you wouldn't die...you...li...ar..." Vung began to cry and she fell on top of his chest and started pounding, and wet his robe with her tears. Syaoran, shouted out of his tears, "DDDDDDAAAAAAMMMMMMIIIIIIITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Syaoran began to cry again but this time he spoke in a crying voice, "My best friend..." he mumbled. "Syaoran..." Sakura cried out, "It looks like they didn't have a happy ending..." Vung then stopped crying and remembered what Sakura said.
"You know Vung, long time ago, when Syaoran and I didn't know our feelings for each other, we were both going up against the emptiness card. When I found out that the emptiness card would exchange my feelings for becoming in my possession, I thought like you, I thought there would be no happy ending. But as soon as Syaoran risked himself to not let me lose my feelings, I thought there was no hope, but a miraculous thing happened, Syaoran didn't lose his feelings for me, and there was a happy ending to it."
"You're wrong Sakura," Vung told Sakura, Sakura and Syaoran stopped crying for a moment and listened to what she had to say, "I believe there is a happy ending, like when you got the Hope card, all I'm gonna do now is pray and keep on believing in a happy ending. Sakura and Syaoran saw Vung get on her knees, despite her swollen thighs. "Dojiobu, (Everything will be alright,) a voice said. Sakura checked her pocket full of cards and saw the Hope card was glowing. Syaoran was wondering what Sakura was looking at and saw the Hope card glowing.
"Sakura?" Syaoran asked in an inquisitive tone. Sakura just smiled and looked at the card. Eventually, Lung Da rose up from the ground with a white aura surrounded him and he slowly opened his eyes. "Lung Da!" Syaoran screamed. Vung popped her eyes open. "Lung Da!" she happily blushed and yelled. Lung Da woke up seeing all his friends until Vung tackled him to the ground. Vung and Lung playfully rolled around laughing as Vung hugged him really tightly.
When they were done rolling, Lung's ponytail was caught in Vung's hair band and Vung was on top of Lung Da, squeezing him nearly to death. Lung Da just smiled at the comfort they had now. Syaoran approached Lung Da bent down, and gave Lung Da a high five. Sakura stared at Vung and Lung, and tackled Syaoran to the ground. Playfully rolling around just like Vung did to Lung. Vung looked at Lung in the eyes, and Lung Da stared at Vung in her eyes. Vung got closer and gave Lung a passionate long kiss in the lips. Sakura on top of Syaoran saw what they were doing and smiled, "You think we're ready for that yet Syaoran?" Sakura asked. Syaoran smiled at his two friends together at last and replied to Sakura, "No, I think this is enough!" Syaoran gave Sakura a sweet kiss on the cheek. As Lung and Vung kissed for nearly forever, no one would plan to let go of each other now that they were together at last.
