All at once, flash went through Syaoran, Sakura, Eriol, and Kai. Damien was too preoccupied to notice it at first, but soon felt it. They all rushed to the source, Tomoyo running behind Eriol with her camera at her side. They got there at the same time and saw a massive fracture in the earth.
"It's the Earth crystal!", yelled Kai. Syaoran got in front of the fracture and called upon his sword. "Earth crystal, show yourself!", he yelled. A green fog appeared, and out of it came...
The Darkness Revealed and the Broken Heart
and out of it came...a little girl? Yes, it was a strange, brown-eyed, green haired...little girl? "What?", asked Syaoran. "You're the Earth crystal?"
The girl grinned and said, "Looks can be deceiving, master. I'm more powerful than I seem. Now let's see if you're worthy of my power". She waved her hands and the earth around the others started to lift. The earth formed a cage, trapping everyone but Syaoran up high, at least a good 40 feet. "Let them go!" he yelled. The Earth said calmly, "It wouldn't be much of a fight if I let them help you, now would it? Now then, let's begin". She opened a fracture right beneath him, but he jumped out of the way. He looked up to see if the others were all right. Sakura was trying to break the cage with the Sword card, while Eriol was using his staff. Kai was sending some sort of magic at it, and Damien was chanting something to try and shatter the bars of the cage. It wasn't working.
Syaoran got ready. He had to end this. What could beat Earth? He didn't have the Air crystal yet, so that was out. Then he had it (A/N: This idea makes no sense, but I couldn't come up with anything else). All elements had opposites. Since he didn't have air, earth's opposite, if he used the other two elements at the same time, their combined energy would be able to beat earth. It was worth a shot, but he didn't know if he had enough energy to use both.
The Earth seemed to sense that he had an idea, and said, "Very good, master, using your brains instead of attacking me without restraint. But now you'll have to catch me first!" She leaped all over the place, sending random attacks his way, and shifting the earth often so he'd have to jump around to avoid the cracks. The cage was shaking along with everything else, and then the worst happened.
Sakura's sword broke a bar. If the earth hadn't been shaking, that would've been a good thing. But now Sakura toppled out, barely managing to grasp a handhold. She was too far down for the others to reach, and to scared to use her cards. "Syaoran!" she cried. With everything moving, the others couldn't concentrate to bring her back up with magic. "Sakura!!!" yelled Syaoran. Now he was angry. The card had gone too far. No one hurt Sakura as long as he was around.
His aura started glowing a vivid green, and he chanted, "Power of the Ancients! I call upon the Water and the Fire! Water, Fire, attack!!". The 2 spirits came out and attacked, the Water sending a powerful stream towards the Earth and the Fire blasting it at the same time. The two attacks swirled together, creating a sort of helix that hit the Earth. The Earth fell to the ground and said softly, "Very good, master. You let your emotions boost your power. Emotions are not a weakness, but a great strength. Good luck, master..." She went onto his sword, which glowed green.
The cage disappeared, and everyone was safely on the ground. Syaoran walked towards them. They all stared. "What?", he asked. "You're not even drained...it takes a lot of energy to use 2 crystals at the same time, and you're fine..." said Eriol. Even he was shocked. He hadn't expected his cute little descendant to be so powerful. Of course, it only happened once Sakura was in danger...interesting. "Oh...maybe it was all the training I did...", Syaoran replied. No, it's not, and you know it. It was your love for Sakura...it's very powerful. Maybe that's what we need to beat the darkness thought Kai.
She cleared her throat and said, "I think that we should concentrate on the matter at hand. I've already requested some scrolls and texts from the Li Clan that may have information on the dark magician and his demise. Those, however, are in Chinese, so I suggest that Eriol-kun, since you know Chinese, and Mao-san look over those, as well as anything Clow left behind. Syaoran, you'll have to start training again immediately, since it appears that these captures are going to get harder. I'll train with you again...and I have a feeling that we're being watched. Tomoyo-chan, could you please look over your tapes and see if you can spot anything? You should probably go back to when you first saw the fire spirit. And Sakura- chan, I'm going to train you too. You'll need to be able to focus your magic more and possibly be able to call upon the cards when they aren't with you, or even when you don't have the sealing wand. Is everyone okay with that?" They all nodded. Kai had a way of making everyone feel needed. "Good", she said.
Syaoran spoke up. "Uh, Kai, we have a meeting to attend with that company about the merger, and then from tomorrow on you have recording sessions. I also have more business to deal with. How are we going to have time to train?"
"Well", said Kai, "We can train in the mornings and then go to school, and in the afternoons you can take care of the Clan business... and train some more then...Sakura, would you be alright with starting training sessions in the mornings and sometimes afternoons?" Sakura nodded. She had gotten a lot better at getting up on time. "Ok, we'll start tomorrow then. Meet us at the park".
It was getting late, so they all went their separate ways. Damien tried to get Kai to talk to him, but she left in a hurry with Syaoran so he couldn't. He sighed. He had really broken her heart, and now he felt terrible. But what the hell was keeping him with Katori? He also knew that Sakura wouldn't normally go for a loser like Xian. Could it be a spell? But who cast it? And why?
The 2 shadows that had been watching the group formed into 2 very familiar figures. "Master, the star guardian is beginning to see through the spell. What if he finds a way to break it? The cherry blossom will leave you for the little wolf, and the star will leave me for his other half", said a feminine voice. "Be patient, the spell will hold until I say it will" snapped a masculine voice. "If we can keep them apart long enough, then the damage will already be done, Katorina. Or should I say, Katori? The fools haven't even figured that out yet. And in any case, the spell I put on the star guardian will break soon. It wasn't a powerful spell. But the spell on the cherry blossom is a lot more potent. She isn't going anywhere". "Yes, Xian-sama", the feminine voice said.
