Chapter five: Neo-darknors identity
Li's apartment.
Li sat on his bed with flashes of his father running through his head ever since Neo-darknor had teased him about how much like his father was.weak. Li never believed his father was weak but the constant taunting really damaged Li's pride, Li stood up and looked out onto the balcony thinking about why everything had to happen in his life. In the past when he trained to one day capture the Clow cards he never thought he'd want to be normal but now he wished he was a normal person who had no idea that such things existed and lived happily but.that was just a dream. He was happy for Madison when he found out that she and Kai told each other that they loved each other and was shocked when she told himself, Sakura and Meiling about the fire phoenix spirit inside of her and all those powers inside of her. He also remembered about how Meiling looked kind of down when she told them she had all that power of course she was happy for Madison but Madison couldn't help really while Meiling helped out a bit with her martial arts but now she felt even more left out because Madison had such abilities. Li thought that he should go talk to her but then heard his phone ringing and answered it hearing Eli's voice on the over end.
"Hello Li"
Li hated having to hear his smug voice on the other end but he needed to talk to someone "I suppose you already know about what's been going on"
"Yes and I'm thinking about coming over to help of course I know you're not happy about that."
"No we need all the help we can get"
"Thanks for understanding Li and by the way.how's Meiling?"
Li told Eli about what had been happening recently with Madison falling for Kai and how she has new abilities making Meiling feel more useless"
"I see.when are you going to tell Meiling Li?"
"You knew?"
"Yes I knew"
"Well Sakura doesn't know yet so I guess me and you are the only ones who know even the elders don't know about it"
"Do you plan to tell her?"
"I'm not sure because she'll be angry at me for not telling her before, I only didn't tell her because when the cards were released I hoped she would stay in China but I was wrong she followed me to try to help"
"Do you ever plan to tell her though?"
Li sighed "if she continues to feel worse and worse I'll tell her and by the way.why do you have such a sudden interest in Meiling?"
"She's a part of the team even though I didn't show concern in the past I was actually concerned about all of you"
*Your can be such a good yet such a bad liar Eli* Li thought "I hope your not upset about Madison."
"No if Kai is who Madison wants I'll be happy for her"
"Glad your not upset"
"Thanks Li I've gotta go now"
"Okay see you when you arrive and I won't tell the others it'll be a surprise alright?"
Li heard Eli laugh "sure bye Li"
A ship in orbit.
Neo-darknor rose from his chair and tried to leave without Sureal and Omega noticing him but unfortunately Sureal did notice him.
"Going to tell Li the truth eh Neo-darknor?"
"Yes" Neo-darknor said without turning round.
"Be careful Kai could intervene"
"Yes but when Li finds out the truth he will want to fight me alone"
"I wonder.what makes you resent the boy so much Neo-darknor if you used to be so close?" Omega asked.
"That is not your concern" Neo-darknor answered.
Penguin park.
Li stood near the king penguin slide waiting for Neo-darknor who he sensed was coming.
"Nice to see you waited for me Li"
Li turned around to see Neo-darknor land on the ground a few feet away, even though you couldn't see his mouth Li could tell that inside he was smirking.
"Like I had much of a choice"
"Indeed"
Li glared at Neo-darknor "who are you"
Neo-darknor laughed "I'll give you a clue"
Neo-darknor did a martial arts move that left Li stunned for a moment then realised what that move was, it was the Li clan's leader dragon kick the only person currently able to do that in all of the Li clan was.
Li's eyes widened "no."
Neo-darknor hit a button on the side of his throat, the clasps that attached his helmet to the rest of his armour unfastened and he removed his helmet. The face of a 45 year old man was there, he had chocolate coloured hair and amber eyes just like Li.
"Before I died my name was Chien Showron.your father Li"
Li's knees buckled and he fell to the ground "no.its not true.ITS NOT TRUE!"
Chien was silent as he looked at the crying Li.
Li glared at his father "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME! ABONDONED ME! WHY.WHY DID YOU COME NOW FATHER! IF YOU WERE ALIVE WHY DIDN'T YOU COME STRAIGHT BACK INSTEAD OF MAKING ME SUFFER!?"
"There is no more Chien Showron Li its time you accepted that"
"I will never accept that father"
"You have no choice.I will return in three days.be ready to fight me then.or die"
He flew off leaving Li, the words echoed in Li's mind *he wants me to.to kill him!*
