A/N: Hello
all! I really need to know what you think about my fic so far, cause if its
getting to the point "boring" or "repetitive" I'm going to have to end this
soon (sadly) since I had so much fun writing it. Well anyways, if I get enough
positive stuff…I'm sorry if I sound egotistic or selfish, but its one of my "problems"
sorry L.
Ladon: That's
not your ONLY problem dude!!
Author: Yea,
no need to rub it in okay?
Ladon:
Anyways, here's the fic, hope you enjoy it !!!
THUMP! THUMP!
The heart
pumped again.
"No…what have
I done…" Fujitaka said quietly. He took a few steps back.
Li's hands
morphed to claws, he grew big dragon wings on his back…
"What in name
is going on here?" Sakura whispered. Not believing her eyes. She fixed her eyes
on the now transformed Li, who was not human anymore but rather a towering
dragon eyes filled with anger on who wounded him, blaring his teeth snaring
angrily at Fujitaka.
"Well, looks
like history does repeat itself, master Sakura…" Void said eyeing Chaos. "He
is supposed to be DEAD!!!" she said to herself.
The dragon
howled and stood ready to tear Fujitaka in pieces, Fujitaka being an
experienced warrior ready himself, he knew it was foolish to challenge a
dragon, but since Li was has just awakened he might have a chance.
Fujitaka
charged, he wanted to catch the inexperienced dragon by surprise.
"Li, watch
out!!" Sakura yelled.
The dragon
paid no attention to the warning. He shot out a pillar a flame from his mouth,
directing it to the charging Fujitaka. Fujitaka who was caught by surprise,
found a huge wave of flame sending him back, crashing him into the wall.
Fujitaka
stood up…wiping the dust off himself. "Impressive…" he growled under his
breath. "Even though your new at this you still managed to hurt me a bit…" he
grinned evilly. "However, even in your form you won't be able to beat me…feel
my wrath…Black Wind Howls!!" he yelled, sending dark blades of wind to the hulking
dragon.
"NO!" Sakura
yelled. "Shield card, become a barrier around thy dragon!! RELEASE!" She
created a barrier around Li…or dragon whichever you prefer.
The first few
blast of wind bounced off the barrier, but the fifth one shattered the barrier…
"Oh no…"
Tomoyo exclaimed. "Spirits of water…" She chanted as waves of water circled
her. "Protect my friend from the enemy! Ice Cage!" she created a block of ice
if front of the dragon causing more blades to bounce off the ice. But it wasn't
going to last long…
Void did her
share of the job…she created a dark shield reflecting off the rest of the
blasts.
"Very, very
impressive…" Fujitaka said chucking. He looked at Chaos "What's wrong, Chaos? Don't
know who to serve now? Maybe I can make that decision for you!"
Li felt
something explode in him, something just wouldn't make him stop attack until
the guy was dead, he shot a string of burst against Fujitaka.
Fujitaka on
the other hand this time ready, dodged all of them…
BOOM!! The
blast made holes in the walls of the building…
Tomoyo looked
closely at the enemy, eyeing his every movement, concentrating…
"Father…"
Sakura said quietly. "Please reconsider…" She said, looking at him with her emerald
eyes. "why are you doing this?"
Fujitaka
couldn't find a good answer, true he grew to love Sakura very much, it pains
him just to think what he needs to do, but what needs to be done has to be
done…he was lost in thought…until a fire ball blew him outta his place…
"Well…looks
like I have out worn my welcome…till we meet again princess…" he said,
teleporting away.
One would
think that that should make the dragon stop, but instead he continued his
rampage.
"What's wrong??? Shouldn't he have stopped now the enemy gone?" Tomoyo asked as
she dodged a fireball…
"No
kidding…any of you dragons explain what's going on??" Sakura yelled as she
parried a few with her wand.
"Well…it
seems like he is too inexperienced, and that sudden attack just made him go berserk…we
need to find a way to clam it down somehow…" Void said she turned, just to find
her face to face with Chaos. "Your supposed to be dead…" she whispered quietly.
"Yea…I get
that a lot…" he said, "But looks like we have more important things to do right
now…"
"DO?? You
were just standing there when we were fighting that fallen angel…" Sakura said
angrily.
"Well…I
choose not to interfere with family matters…" Chaos said letting out a sigh.
"Sakura try to make Li remember, he is confused right now…"
Sakura
understood, she ran up to Li…
"Sakura,
NO!!" Tomoyo screamed. "It's too dangerous!!"
"I have to do
this Tomoyo…" She said to her friend as she ran up to the raging dragon.
"What is she
doing…" Void said softly.
"She's beginning
to understand." Chaos said smiling.
The dragon
howled as Sakura clung on to him. "It's okay…it's only me…" Sakura began
reassuring the dragon. "it alright now, everything going to be fine…" she said.
Surprisingly, the dragon seem to understand her, Sakura could feel the dragon
clam down as she petted the dragon. Finally the dragon reverted to Li, and Li
fell to the ground unconscious.
"He's tired…"
Chaos explained. "Turning into a dragon the first time takes off a lot of
energy. Sakura, why don't you bring him up to your room and take care of him?"
Sakura turned
a shade of red "Mmmmy room?" she stuttered.
"Fine, here
set him on the couch." Chaos said.
After they
finished putting him on the couch. They began discussing the matter at hand…
"OKAY
CHAOS!!" Void yelled. "What in Ladon's name is going on here? You're supposed
to be dead." She demanded.
"I told you I
get that a lot…" Chaos replied playfully. "Actually, I didn't die, it was just
a rumor that I created so I could buy some time."
"What…"
Tomoyo said confused.
"Well, you
see I ran into some problems not long ago, I needed to get away from it all so
I had to 'create' my own death so that people would stop bothering me." He said
plainly.
"That sounds
like Chaos alright." Void said.
"Now that I
answered your question my fair dragoness, mind if I ask some of mine?" Chaos
said.
"Sure…go for
it." Void said.
"How do you
know my name." Chaos said. "I'm pretty sure I haven't met a dark dragoness in
my life. And don't say that everyone dragon knows me cause from the look you
gave me it didn't seem like it was from a person that knew me by reputation."
"I know you
because…" Void started as she folded her hands together. "because…" she said
clearing her throat. "because you have known me by another name, and look."
"I'm sorry?"
Chaos said eyeing her suspiciously.
"You know me
better as Ylsa…" she said choking on her own tears.
"SIS??" Chaos
exclaimed. "It can't be…"
"Yes, it is
me…" Void said, finding herself lost for words.
Sakura tapped
Tomoyo's shoulders gently. Tomoyo turned around, Sakura pointed upstairs…Tomoyo
nodded showing that she understood. "What about Li?" Tomoyo whispered. They
grabbed Kero, who was watching quietly on their way.
"Don't
worry…I don't think he is going to wake up anytime soon." Sakura whispered
back, stretching her wings a little.
After that
the two friends went up to Sakura's room, Void and Chaos continued to talk like
they didn't even notice.
"Where were
you all these years, Chaos?" Void said sadly. "You never contacted me…I didn't
even know if you were still in your prisoner state or not. I was so worried,
not knowing what happened to you." She said.
"Well…sis…I…"
Chaos started. "I didn't now what happened to you either, I'm sorry, after Nina
freed me from my prison, it was just one thing after another. What happened to
you sister?? You used to be a holy…"
Void put a
finger over Chaos' mouth. "After you were sealed away, I felt so empty…empty as
the void. Then it happened…see Chaos, magic isn't as you thought it was.
Although it has a lot to do with the mind, but more importantly, the condition
of your soul relies heavily upon it. Therefore, my holy powers vanished, and a
new element became me---the element of the Void."
Chaos gasped.
He remembered the arguments they used to get in. Ylsa used to try to convince
him that magic relied on soul, while he thought it relied more on the mind. But
looks like that argument is settled. The prove was just standing in front of
his eyes.
"Does that
mean…" Chaos began. "…that my soul is impure, therefore resulting in my
element…?"
"That I do
not know…dear brother." She said. "But I do know one thing. Being the dark doth
not mean you have to take the path of it too, and subsequently, being of the
light doesn't mean that you have to take that path either."
* * *
In Sakura's Room…
"You love him
don't you…" Tomoyo piped up breaking the silenced room.
"Wha…?"
Sakura replied turning pink at the same time.
"Don't need
to hide it, I knew something like that was going to happen…and remember I could
read you like a book even before I discover my magic abilities." She said
smiling sweetly.
"Oh…alright
you win." Sakura said sighing in defeat. "I did have feeling for him, I dunno
if it was really love. But, it was a feeling alright."
"I KNEW IT!!"
Tomoyo said unable to resist it any longer. "I wish I had a camera handy for
that scene when you reverted Li…it was so cute!!"
Sakura went
to her very embarrassed red shaded look, while Kero sweated.
"Well…Tomoyo
will always be Tomoyo I guess…" Kero murmured.
"So, Sakura…"
Tomoyo said in a more serious tone. "How are you feeling?"
"Fine I
guess…" Sakura said.
"You guess??"
Tomoyo said crossly. "What does that mean?"
"It means, I don't
know what to do, I keep telling my self that everything is going to be okay,
but the truth is to this point I don't know anything. My dad's a traitor, Li's
a dragon, I'm supposed to be a Wyndian, like if things weren't confusing enough
already…at this point…nothing is going to surprise me NOTHING!!"
"I thought we
been though this already, Sakura. Stop taking all the responsibility for
yourself, your only going to end up getting hurt…this is no longer just your
problem it's our problem." Tomoyo said sighing.
"Yea…" Kero
agreed. "The world is in danger, and we won't let you do everything on your
own."
"Amen to
that…" a few voices said in union.
Kero, Sakura
and Tomoyo jumped up in surprise, they turned around and saw the WHOLE GANG
standing there…
Yup, when I
say the whole gang I mean the whole gang…Yue, Eriol, Touya even Meiling.
Sakura stood
there wide-eyed, twitching her white wings nervously.
"What are all
you guys doing here?" Sakura asked sweating.
"Well, we
came here to back you up…" Eriol said. "You know I'm also a Wyndian." He said
slyly, revealing two purplish colored wings.
"Yea…" Yue
said quietly. "We won't let you do this alone."
Then
suddenly, three more figures appeared.
"Looks who's
up…" Void said.
"LI!!"
Everyone cried.
Chaos cleared
his throat everyone turned to him.
"I'm sorry to
break this wonderful reunion, but remember Li's rampage caused some commotion.
The police should be here any minute now."
Everyone
sweated. Chaos was right…as on cue the doorbell rang…
"Great…"
Sakura said.
Tomoyo was
fast on her feet "Quick! Everyone hide, Li your with me…since we look the most
"human" out of this group, we'll try to get them out of here so we can plan on
what to do next."
Tomoyo
dragged the half asleep Li to the door while everyone found a place to hide.
Tomoyo opened
the door. Two police officers were standing in the doorway.
"Yes officer,
how may I help you today??" Tomoyo said sweetly smiling.
"Uh…we just
heard some reports of commotions around here…can we come in?" One officer
asked.
"Yea…please."
Tomoyo said as she invited the officers in.
The officers
immediately saw the holes in the walls…
"HOLY
&^*&!" One of them said "What in heck caused THAT?"
"Earthquake??"
Li said stupidly.
"Huh?" The
other officer said. "Can an earthquake do that??"
Tomoyo
sweated…"Li can be so dense sometimes. Good thing these officers are just as
dense." To the officers she
replied "What he means is…we honestly didn't know what happened you see…we just
got back home, and we discovered our wall has been ruined." Tomoyo pretended to
frown.
The police took her word for it surprisingly. "If we find anything else
we will be sure and update you on that okay."
"Okay…" Tomoyo replied showing that innocent smile of hers, after that
kind of smile who won't be convinced?
After the police left, Tomoyo sighed in relief. "Whew! That was close…"
she said to herself. To Li she shook her head and said. "Earthquake?"
Li suddenly woke up from his slumber "Wha?? What am I doing here? What happened?
I don't remember anything…"
"Hmm interesting, let's meet up with the rest of the gang, maybe we can
figure out what to do next…" Tomoyo responded. She got no argument from Li, so
they went back to Sakura's room.
* * *
In Sakura's Room…
The whole
team was there, trying to figure out what to do next…
"Well…first
of all we can't let anyone know about our identities, that's for sure…" Li said.
Everyone
agreed with that…
"No problem,
leave it to me." Sakura said. She chanted a spell suddenly a magical picture
appeared…with three different points to it, one had a symbol "Sun" another had "Moon"
and finally "Star". Chaos smiled "She finally beginning to discover her
abilities…" he said to himself.
"Chaos, Eriol
lend me your powers!" She said. Chaos and Eriol nodded…Chaos shot a chaotic
element while Eriol did his dark element…
"Lastly Illusion
dispel on the final mark!!" Sakura said, finishing up the spell… "Darkness
Illusion bind the people of what's going on!!"
After spell
was done, everyone let out a sigh of relief, it won't last forever but it will
be enough for the time being.
"How did you know
I was a dark element, Sakura?" Eriol tested.
"The first
clue I got were your wings, the second your aura…" Sakura replied without
hesitation.
"Your getting
good at this Sakura," Chaos said. Sakura smiled proudly.
"Pop quiz,
monster…" Touya said. Sakura gave Touya a watch it or I'll kill you look. Touya
shuddered, Sakura never looked THAT menacing. "What element am I?" He asked.
Sakura closed
her eyes concentrating… "Your element is Wind…" She said with great confidence.
"Very
impressive, mo…I mean Sakura." He corrected himself quickly.
"Hmm…Sakura
slowly understanding her new powers that's a good thing, but we can't deny the possibility
that the enemy is already here…" Chaos piped up. Everyone sighed he does have a
problem of stating the depressing stuff at all the wrong times.
"Why do you
say so?" The silent Yue suddenly spoke.
"If Fujitaka
could teleport in and out here and the fact that someone was following me
before, suggest that they might be closer then we thought, the only reason they
haven't launched a full scale attack is because they didn't want anyone to be
suspicious, but now the illusion spell is at work…" Chaos explained clearly, twitching
his dragon wings a little.
"They could
launch the attack anytime!!" Tomoyo finished, just noticing how true that
remark just was.
"Hmm…we looks
like we have no choice…" Void said.
"About what?"
Meiling asked suspiciously.
"We need to
teach Li how to control his dragon powers…" Void replied.
"How do we do
that??" Sakura asked.
"It's not
going to be easy, but I believe me and Chaos can accomplish it." Void said.
"That still
doesn't answer her question guys…" Li said "and what's all this about dragons?"
"You'll
understand soon…Chaos?" Void said.
"Yes?" The
chaotic dragon replied.
"Would you
give me a hand in this task?" Void continued trying to send Chaos a mental
signal.
Chaos nodded
in agreement, Sakura could taste it in the way that Chaos reacted that
something was not going to be pleasant, but she convinced herself it was for
the better.
"Yue! Eriol!"
Void commanded.
"Yes?" They said
in union.
"Train Sakura
a little bit more…I have a feeling that there is a war that's going to start
soon and I don't want to be caught unprepared for it…" Void said.
"Affirmative…"
They said in union.
"Touya! Tomoyo!"
Void continued (They introduced themselves when Tomoyo and Li were distracting
the guards.)
"Yes?"
"I want you
guys to check get as much info as you can on the enemy, and how we can get food
and other stuff we need." Void said.
"YES MA'AM"
They said and went off
"Excuse me…"
Meiling piped up "But what about me?"
"Don't worry…"
Void said. "We'll need you to be with us…" Void said.
"Okay…" She
replied.
Chaos smiled
to himself, she still has it in her…he thought, but he was bothered by
something. He didn't speak a word of his suspicions but he made a mental note
about it. He will keep a close eye this time, and this time he will not fail…
