Chapter five: Shadow's mission
Kai's house.
Kai stood on the balcony scanning the mid day sky for Mero, he waited a few minutes then saw her form land on the balcony next to him.
"Did you find them Mero?"
Mero nodded "yes all of them but Li Showron wasn't easy to track down believe me he's extremely tricky"
Mero started going into the details but Kai stopped her "do you.think this is a good idea Mero?"
Mero smiled "Kai they are strong and could help"
"I guess.I'm going to train okay so just tell me where to find them later"
He waked off as Mero watched him *Kai.*
Li's room.
Li's phone started ringing, he answered it swiftly hearing an unwelcome voice at the other end "Li."
*Great what's she want now?* Li thought "mother."
"I called the card mistress last night and she has told me what has happened"
"So what?"
"I want you to come home and present yourself to the elders then they will decide whether you are fit to fight such opponents"
"And what if they come back before I come back?"
"The card mistress will deal with them but your so weak that before you can fight such opponents the elders must say you can"
Hearing his mother call him weak made Li really angry "and what if I don't come back?"
"Then you shall be banished and aren't allowed to return to us" his mother said calmly.
"You really think I want to come back?"
Yelen seemed surprised "of course you want to come back, you will marry the card mistress and she will follow the orders of the elders and."
"IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK I WANT!? TO HAVE SAKURA JOIN THE CLAN! I would rather be exiled than take orders from people like you mother!"
His mother was silent on the other end, Li waited for her reaction for a couple of seconds then slammed the phone down.
*Exiled.* Li smiled *I'm glad to be honest after all its not like I ever liked my mother always thinking about the clan she doesn't care about anything else especially not me*
China, Hong Kong, elders chamber.
"I see.so Li Showron has betrayed the clan" one of the elders said.
"This is a frightening turn of events after all the new Li cards would be almost as valuable as the Sakura cards" the only female elder said.
"I'm more concerned with the new enemies that are appearing.maybe it is for the best after all Li could be of help" another elder said.
"He is weak it isn't a major loss but the card mistress is a problem but no matter there are other ways to get her to join us" Yelen said coldly.
"I'm surprised at you Yelen he is your son after all" the head elder said.
"He couldn't pass the final judgement he is unfit for the clan"
"He may not have been able to pass Clow Reeds final judgement but you know he had to face the card mistress in Korano's final judgement"
Yelen's eyes widened "what!?"
The head elder nodded "after all he's done he's proven himself to be a great asset to the clan after all he has saved the card mistress innumerable times, he captured the Korano cards even with a dark force meddling with them and defeated the card mistress in the Korano judgement. He also follows our orders while in Reedington and has shown that he is incredibly strong. It is YOU Yelen who is holding him down with your constant cruelty"
All of the elders nodded in agreement "then if Li Showron wishes to disobey our orders let him do so but he is NOT exiled from the clan unless he wishes to be"
The elders nodded in agreement again and the head elder stared at Yelen "in conclusion Yelen we do not need you to constantly push Li or someday he will turn against you and kill you"
Yelen smirked "he would never do that"
The head elder smiled at her "well Yelen if it does happen your on your own"
Kai's house.
Sakura, Li, Meiling, Madison, Julian, Korano and Tori with Kero and Senosa in Sakura's bag stood outside Kai's gates staring at the rather large house before them. Mero had called them all earlier and told them to come there.
"Are you sure this is where he is?" Sakura asked Li.
"It's where Mero said" Li said putting his arm around her shoulder.
The gates slowly opened by themselves, they nervously walked in and up to the front door. Sakura was about to knock when the door opened by itself much like the gates did, they walked in but jumped when the door slammed behind them. They walked into the living room, it was quite large but with a serious lack of light as the curtains were pulled and the only source of light was a few candles around the edges around the room and one on the table.
"Welcome"
They spun around and saw Kai, he stood there shirtless wearing jeans and white socks staring intently at them.
Kero and Senosa flew out of Sakura's bag and transformed into their true forms, Julian in turn transformed into Yue.
"Mero their here"
A black, blue eyed stuffed animal with white wings similar to Kero's floated in and sat on Kai's shoulder.
Kai sat on the couch paying no attention to the blushing Madison and waved his hand, an assortment of chairs appeared and everyone sat down.
"Now before I can tell you anything I need to know I can trust you so tell me everything about yourselves"
They told him about everything the Clow cards, the Sakura cards and everything that had happened recently leaving Kai quite astonished.
"Incredible.maybe they came to this dimension for more than Shung-yo then"
"Who was that Shung-yo girl anyway?" Madison asked.
Sakura smiled at the blushing Madison realising that Madison wasn't asking this out of curiosity.
Kai sighed "she was my girlfriend as you already know, we were very close me, her and my best friend Daniel it was great until Omega"
"Omega who's he?" Kerobearos asked.
"I come from another dimension, dimension X2Y it was a dimension engulfed in a war between the eastern and western continent's, after 50 years of continuous fighting the western continent created a biological weapon code named Omega. My father worked on the project, it looked like the end of the war was in sight but when they tried to erase Omega of all his will so he would obey orders without question he retaliated broke out and killed my father"
Everyone's eyes widened as Kai continued "I escaped with Shung-yo and Dan and trained to fight Omega, however one good thing is that Omega did end the war, both the eastern and western continent's joined to fight Omega. After a year of training just after my 14 birthday last year we attacked Omega's fortress, myself, Shung-yo and Dan managed to penetrate the fortress but we were foolish to think it could be that easy"
Flashback.
Kai, Shung-yo and Dan stood in front of Omega and Shadow Kai and Dan had their swords drawn while Shung-yo had a dagger.
Omega stood up "hello Kai it's nice to see you again its been about a year hasn't it?"
Kai remained silent as he stood in a fighting stance.
"Should I dispose of them lord Omega?" Shadow asked.
Omega shook his head and stood up.
"DIE DEVIL!" Dan screamed as he charged forward.
"DAN DON'T"
Omega grinned "to easy"
Dan took a swipe at Omega with his sword but it just bounced off his super hard skin, Dan fell to the floor. As he tried to get off Omega's shoulders floated up on the chains again and shot at Dan hitting his chest and coming out the other side.
"DANNNNNNNNNNNNN!"
Kai's house.
"After Dan was killed we escaped back to base but Shung-yo was terrified by what happened and wanted to join Omega, I.banished her to another dimension because I.well there really is no excuse"
Kai stopped there while everyone else watched him in silence, the silence lasted for a few minutes until Li broke it.
"So how does Mero fit into all of this?"
"After I banished Shung-yo I couldn't go on alone so I used my powers to create Mero here as a guardian"
"You made a cute guardian" Kerobearos said.
Everyone stared at him *did I say that out loud!?*
Another awkward moment of silence followed and Kai spoke again "after another year of training I was promoted through the ranks up to second in command, recently though during what was supposed to be the final battle against Omega he escaped to another dimension, with me close behind"
The red orb glowed in Kai's hand again "what is that anyway Kai? Shung-yo gave it to you didn't she?"
"It is the fire phoenix spirit"
"The what!?"
"In my dimension there are six spirits: the darkness tiger, the light dragon, the fire phoenix, the earth turtle, the air eagle and the water shark each of these spirits inhabits a body giving whoever has them amazing abilities for example flight, super strength, beam attacks, super speed and other things"
"So do you have one then Kai?" Madison asked.
Kai nodded "yes the light dragon spirit, Shung-yo had the fire phoenix spirit as you know and my best friend Daniel had the darkness tiger spirit"
"Okay but there's one more thing I want to know Kai just who is Shadow anyway?" Li asked.
"He is Omega's top soldier who was created from Omega's powers"
"Anyway what do you think about that cyborg, that guy that tried to warn Li about something, that serpent that killed that guy and the cyborgs master?" Senosa asked.
"I honestly don't know it could be anything but I believe we will find out soon enough"
Kai's house.
Kai stood on the balcony scanning the mid day sky for Mero, he waited a few minutes then saw her form land on the balcony next to him.
"Did you find them Mero?"
Mero nodded "yes all of them but Li Showron wasn't easy to track down believe me he's extremely tricky"

Sakura, Li, Meiling, Madison, Julian, Korano and Tori with Kero and Senosa in Sakura's bag stood outside Kai's gates staring at the rather large house before them. Mero had called them all earlier and told them to come there.
"Are you sure this is where he is?" Sakura asked Li.
