Chapter 30
Sakura fell majestically through the sky behind Yue and Kero. Sakura broke off for a second and flew around in circles really fast. "Sakura, what the hell are you doing?!" Syaoran asked. "Don't worry, Syaoran. I know what I'm doing! I'm just having some fun!" She held onto Syaoran even tighter and flew in a loop straight up. "Whee! I love this!" But her grip loosened and Syaoran fell out of her arms head first to the ground. Syaoran was creaming as he fell, but he felt Sakura grab his feet. She grabbed his legs and began carrying him again. His face was turning red from the blood rushing to his head. He mockingly said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing… promise me you'll never do that again. And please get me right side up before I pass out!" Sakura slowly turned him around and blushed. "Hoe… sorry, Syaoran." She flew faster, flapping her angel wings even faster and caught up with Yue and Kero.
But as she was flying, Sakura heard a voice.
"Sakura, can you hear me?"
"Tomoyo, is that you?" She asked. "Yes, it's me. I'm talking to you telepathically through Mia. I wanted to let you know a few things. Granted, this only works when we know exactly where you are, so that's why we didn't use it before." "Umm, okay, what is it?" Sakura asked. "Did you know notice that most of the townsfolk were missing?" "Well, kinda. I thought that was kinda strange." "Well, before you defeated the leader of the demon army, many townsfolk were captured. Another army managed to take most of them away. They're up there, somewhere in the shrine. You need to find them." "Alright, We'll try." That time, she heard another voice. "You little monster, I told you that you weren't going! Come back down here right now!" It was Touya. "Touya, let go! Get your hands off me! You're not going! You don't even know enough magic to get there! Just let them be!" Sakura heard the sound of a slap across someone's face and then a sweat drop rolled down her head. Syaoran asked confused, "Umm, Sakura? Are you feeling ok? Who are you talking to?" Sakura blushed. "No one really." Syaoran just sat there, wondering if maybe all the stress was finally getting to her.
The winds began to increase. Yue and Kero slowed down, but Sakura kept flying. Sakura held onto Syaoran tight, and Syaoran hugged Sakura tighter. The skies darkened and the windstorms began. Sakura heard Kero yell out, "Sakura! Keep going! We'll make it eventually! Just hurry into the shrine! We'll meet you there!" And with that, Sakura flew forward trying hard to fly into the storm. She flapped her wings hard. She could feel Syaoran being pulled from her again. She clung on close to him. Syaoran noticed her long white gloves were slipping, so he quickly wrapped his arms around her neck. They're faces came extremely close. They blushed, realizing they were practically stuck together, but Sakura then focused on the shrine. It was getting closer. She could see the brown wooden door. She finally broke free of the wind holding her back, but she put too much energy into trying to get through and went tumbling onto the brown rock in front of the door. She turned to see Syaoran staring back at her lying on the ground. She picked up her halo that had actually fallen off and put it back on. She stood up and helped Syaoran to his feet. "Well, we made it in one piece." Sakura said. Syaoran rubbed his back. "I'm not too sure about that." He said.
They pushed on the huge wooden door to the enormous castle. Sakura flapped her wings for extra power. It gave way all at once, and the door flew open, and the fell on top of each other. They heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed and heard a woman shout, "FREEZE, DEMONS!"
They looked up to see a young woman, about 15 years old. She had large blue eyes and long, pink hair. She was a little shorter than Sakura. She held a long sword and was pointing it at them. The woman gasped. "You… you are angels?! You're not demons?!" Syaoran answered, "No, we're not working for Sadin, if that's what you're thinking." The young stranger sheathed her sword. "Oh, yeah! I was afraid you were demons. But if you're not, who are you and what are you doing here? Are you really angels?" They stood up and dusted themselves off. They looked around. They were in a long hallway, with no windows. Torches were the only source of light. Sakura replied, "No, we're not really angels. These halos? They're just magic. A mage gave them to us. These clothes? They were gifts. And my wings?" Sakura concentrated and the wings vanished. "They're just a magic spell." The young girl's eyes lit up. "Wait, you two are Sakura and Syaoran, right?!" They gasped. "How did you know?" they both asked. "I'm a mage from the village! My name is Natalie! It's nice to meet you!" Natalie said while smiling brightly. Sakura shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you, Natalie!" She smiled back. Syaoran looked on coldly. "I'm really tired of everyone wanting to kill us, thinking we're some of Sadin's goons." A sweat drop rolled down Natalie's head as she smiled. "Ummm… heh… sorry about that. But the thing is, the mages were captured." Sakura interrupted. "We know. Tomoyo told us." Natalie added, "Yes, but hat you don't know is many of us escaped at first. The guards tried to lock us up in the basement dungeon, but we managed to squeeze by. I was one of the mages that escaped. You see, while we were here, we learned of their plan: since you both have apparently destroyed some of the shrines…" "All except this one." Syaoran interrupted. "Right, we heard that they had a new plan. Without all the shrines up, they would have no place to put the Clow Cards. And even if one were left standing, one shrine wouldn't be able to hold all of that power. So they came up with a new plan. This shrine used to be like all the rest. But they have turned it into the most powerful shrine of them all. I heard something about a statue where the cards are supposed to be placed. Many demons combined their powers to create a huge statue that can absorb the powers of every Clow Card!" They gasped. "You mean, if they get their hands on the Clow Cards now, all our work will be for nothing?!" Syaoran screamed. Natalie sighed. "Yeah, I'm afraid so." She smiled again. "But we're not gonna let that happen! You see, they knew it was just a matter of time before you arrived and would try to stop them. So, to keep you out, the sealed the door to the statue. But, to unseal the door, you need a special magic stone. It was hidden somewhere in this shrine. But a friend of mine found it, and has it with her!" Sakura smiled. "That's great! Where is she?" Natalie sighed. "That's the bad news… she was recaptured. She cast some spells and killed a few demons, but they outnumbered her and took her to the dungeons. They never found the stone she hid in her shirt." They all sighed. Syaoran said, "Well, then I guess we're gonna have to just find her, get the stone, break the seal, destroy the statue, and get the hell out of here." They all sighed. It wasn't going to be easy.
There was the sound of a scratch on the door. Natalie gasped. "Who is it now?" Syaoran walked over to the door and tried to pull it open. "Relax, Natalie. It's just Kero and Yue. They were following behind us and should be here by now." He said, yanking on the door handle. When he got the door half open, he jumped back in shock, and slammed the door closed. "Syaoran, what are you doing?" Sakura asked. He didn't say anything. He just grabbed their hands and ran down the long, dark hallway. They looked back, and suddenly, the door smashed open, and in flew a huge flock of giant birds. They looked a lot like Eagles, but they were at least 3 times the size. They flew at high speeds down the corridor towards them. They came to a brightly lit room. It was gigantic. It was covered in red rugs, fine tapestries, and paintings. It looked like a throne room of a medieval castle. In fact, on top of a small staircase was a throne.
They turned and saw the demon birds circle around them after they flew into the room. "What the hell ARE these things?" Syaoran asked. "Reinforcements." Natalie said. "When we escaped, the call went out for reinforcements. These are birds Sadin enlarged with his magic and put them under his control. They're very deadly." Sakura asked, "How are we going to beat so many of them by ourselves? There must be 20 of them!"
Then an explosion blew open the side of the wall, and 5 figures emerged from the rubble. They immediately recognized two of them, Yue and Kero, but the other three they didn't. Somehow though, they seemed familiar. One was a tall young man, probably 17 like them, with dark blue to purple hair with thick-rimmed glasses. Next to him were a panther-like creature with wings, and a long brown haired girl with large wings. They took off into the air and began to pummel the beasts. The young boy used a long staff to summon magic attacks such as fire and lightning. The panther swiped at slashed the demons. The young maiden materialized an energy sword and slashed. "Yue, who are these people?" Sakura asked. "I'm not sure. These birds just outside the castle attacked us, when they came. They said, 'you will find out who we really are soon enough. But we must help Sakura first.' But forget about that. We must fight!" Yue and Kero leaped into the air and joined the fierce battle. Sakura summoned the Fly Card and once again grew the pair of Angel Wings. Her dress flapped as she flew around the room. She summoned the Sword Card and began t attack head on. Natalie stayed on the ground, but chanted a spell before fire leapt from her hands, scorching the demons. Syaoran drew his sword and slashed all of the birds in two whenever they flew low enough, or when someone knocked one to the floor. Birds keep flying in, but they were killed off as fast as they were coming in. Eventually, there was one left. Sakura dived in, and slashed its wing. The bird fell to the floor, where Syaoran sliced it in two, and its body vanished. They all rested on the floor, and Sakura put her wings away.
Syaoran walked over to the dark haired stranger. "Who are you, and why are you helping us?" The boy smiled. "To tell the truth, we're not helping you. We're only helping Sakura." A sweat drop rolled down Syaoran's head. "Gee, thanks a lot. How do you know Sakura?" The boy frowned. "There is no time for such questions. One day, you shall know the truth. But for now, let us get to the end of this shrine. I know of how it was built. It requires at least three groups of people. A series of puzzles and monsters lie in wait for all of us along three paths. As we solve puzzles along the path, it will open the path for others, who will then solve puzzles that open our doors, understand?" They all nodded. "I learned this from demons I overheard when they designed this castle. At the end of all three paths is the sealed door." Natalie spoke up. "Alicia is somewhere around the paths!" Everyone wondered what she meant. "Oh, I forgot. My friend with the stone that unlocks the door, her name is Alicia Kittie. But we like to call her 'Kirei Kittie.'"
A dark voice loomed through the room.
"You all have stopped my plans for the last time! This time, you will all fail."
Sakura gasped. "Sadin?!"
"That's right… it is I…Sadin… so, you are pretty smart after all. But it's too bad you didn't decide to help me. You should have just stayed in the past and died like you were supposed to. Your deaths would have been far less painful than they will be now. It's so appropriate you came as angels, as I'll be sending you to Heaven or Hell very soon."
Syaoran screamed out, "Well, we're not going to fail! You are the only one who will be dying!" Sadin chuckled.
"I seriously doubt that. Well, I think I'll just watch you try. All attempts are in vain… I bid you farewell, and good riddance."
The sound of his voice faded away. Yue spoke up. "We have to split up. I will go with Keroberos." Eriol said, "I will go with my comrades." Sakura smiled. "I guess that means I'm going with Syaoran and Natalie!"
They all walked down the hall and came to an intersection. One path went left, one went right, and one led up a staircase straight ahead. Kero and Yue went left, Eriol, Spinnel, and Ruby Moon went right, and Sakura, Syaoran, and Natalie took the stairs.
Sakura and Syaoran pushed open a large door and found themselves on the roof. The sun shined brightly upon them, and a small wind blew Sakura's dress and Syaoran's robe gently in the wind. Ahead of them after a long flat floor was a huge second story. They walked slowly across the roof to get to it, when Syaoran's foot sunk into the floor. Sakura and Natalie backed up for a second. Syaoran's foot sunk deeper into the rock ceiling, as the rocks broke. Suddenly, a huge section of roof underneath Syaoran and all the way to the building on the other side collapsed. Sakura screamed, "SYAORAN!" As she watched in horror as he fell into the sky, literally. She looked over the new edge. The center of the castle was completely hollow, so Syaoran had fallen all the way through the roof down to the ground thousands of feet below. Sakura collapsed onto her knees and started to cry. Natalie started to cry too. Sakura said quietly, "Syaoran, no! You can't… I never even got to tell you I—" "That you what?" A voice interrupted her. "Hoe?" Sakura exclaimed. "Sakura, I'm not dead. I'm down here!" It was Syaoran. Sakura used the fly card to get her wings and she hovered down a few feet into the hole through the castle. Syaoran was hanging on under her view, clinging to a rock in the wall. She grabbed him and helped lift him to safety. She placed him back on his feet and rested on the side of the pit. "Umm… Sakura?" Syaoran said as he blushed. "What didn't you ever tell me?" Sakura stuttered as she blushed. "I… err… I wanted… ummm… never mind…" Natalie cried out, "Oh, you two are so CUTE!" They blushed even worse.
They stood up and looked at the building on the other side. It was at least 30 feet away. Sakura grabbed the staff. "CREATE CARD! CREATE A BRIDGE!" A long bridge stretched out, made of sturdy wood, to the other side. They stepped across and the bridge vanished. Sakura put away her wings and sat down to rest. She felt something press down underneath her weight. She stood up. There was some kind of switch underneath her. But what did it do?
Yue was inspecting a door in front of him. It was a strong door with steel bars surrounding it. There was no way through. Suddenly, the bars lifted. He didn't do anything. He looked confused, but he walked through, to start off their journey through the perilous shrine.
To be continued…
So, what do you think? I plan on making an entire chapter of mazes, monsters, puzzles, and naturally a little kawaii-ness thrown in as well!
