Chapter 16: Final Battle Part 1
Sakura sat back down quietly on her chair sobbing. Everybody tried to assure her, and also themselves, that everything will be okay. But, as Kero always says, "Expect the unexpected."
"S-So what do we do now?" Meiling asked thoughtfully almost in tears.
~~~~~
Sakura couldn't stand it. How dare Katana hurt him that badly! How dare Katana surprise attack him! How dare he use Syaoran for bait! How dare Katana show up with a hurt Syaoran in HER house and threaten her in front of the people she loved! Usually she was well tempered and not easily shaken with anger, but she didn't care anymore. She couldn't stop thinking about Syaoran…his sincere, gentle eyes, his messy brown hair, his temper, the way he talked to her…everything!
"I don't know what you guys are going to do, but I'm going to go to the Tuskimine Shrine (Sp?)…" Sakura said softly but determinedly.
"We've been through this before. You're not going to the Shrine," said Touya.
Her father nodded. "I'm sorry Sakura-chan but…we don't want you to get hurt."
How can they say that?! How can they say that she can't go when they saw themselves how badly Syaoran needed her?
Sakura looked at her watch. 10:30pm. Just an hour and a half to go. An hour and a half until Syaoran might die.
"I'm going and that's final!" Sakura said.
"No you're not!"
"Yes I am!"
"NO YOU'RE NOT!"
"YES I AM!"
The rest of the people watched silently at the little quarrel and tried to think of ideas. But, they couldn't think of anything. The only choices were not to go to the shrine, or go to the shrine.
"Can't you see that he's hurt?! I need him here with me! Otherwise life is not worth living!" Sakura shouted suddenly.
This shook Touya and Fujitaka. Did Syaoran really mean that much to her? They looked at her. Her eyes were red from crying so much lately. She hadn't been her usual genki self, she hasn't gone out to hang out with her friends, she hasn't really talked unless she was spoken to. All this just because one of her friends was gone?
Fujitaka finally understood. He saw now how much she really did love him; he only hoped that Syaoran loved her just as much. He sighed hoping he was doing the right thing. He has already lost one beloved one, his wife; he didn't need to lose another. But, he had a strong feeling that his lovely wife, somewhere out there, was urging him to let Sakura go. She wasn't always going to be his little princess all the time. One day, someone she was meant for will come and take her away. He hoped Sakura would never forget him.
He sighed greatly. "Sakura-san, you really love him don't you? I will let you go to the shrine. But, just promise me that you will come back…alive and well…but most of all…happy…"
Sakura was shocked. Her father actually knew how much she needed him. "Otou-san…arigatou…and I will keep your promise." She hugged her father tightly.
Everybody smiled at this little sweet scene…except Touya.
"WHAT!? How can you just let her go get herself killed like that!?" he said.
"Can't you see how much she loves him? How would you like it if the person you loved were to be taken away suddenly? Believe me, it's not a pretty feeling," Fujitaka said solemnly.
Touya stopped his quarreling abruptly and thought about it. He would feel awfully bad if his loved one was to be taken away. And he realized that his father did know how it felt…since the person Fujitaka most loved was his wife. But she was gone suddenly…just like that…
Touya sighed a heavy sigh and just said, "….Just promise you come back…kaijuu…"
Sakura smiled. Now they all understood her feelings. She even laughed a bit at the nickname Touya called her. She hugged them both at the same time making a big family group hug.
The rest of them smiled.
"That means I'm coming too, then," said Meiling strongly.
"I'm coming, too!" Tomoyo added.
"Don't think of leaving me behind!" Eriol said.
"We're coming too of course!" Kero and Suppi said in unison.
"Then that means that we're com-"
"Oh no you aren't!" said Nakuru cutting off one of Syaoran's sisters.
"But…why?!" Feimei asked angrily.
"I wanna save Xiao Lang!!" Fuutie said.
Nakuru turned her head toward Touya and Fujitaka who were cleaning the dishing solemnly and talked to the four sisters quietly.
"Please stay…I'll stay, too. We need to make sure that Touya, Fujitaka and your mother are alright. I won't let Yelan or Sakura's family be in danger. I'm staying and taking care of them. And I'll need help."
Syaoran's sisters were silent for a moment but they nodded their heads.
"We don't want Mother to be in danger either…besides bringing too much people might be dangerous," Sheifa said. Her sisters nodded in agreement.
"Just promise us…that you'll all be back…alive…with little brother with you…" Fanren said to Sakura and her friends.
"I promise…"
~~~~~
"Well we're here," Tomoyo said.
"It's not quite midnight, yet," Yue said.
They were all near the 'Magic Cherry Tree' in Tuskimine Shrine waiting patiently for 12:00 midnight.
"When is it gonna be midnight?! I wanna just go and kick Katana's ass!" Meiling said angrily. Nobody messes with any member of the Li family.
"Calm down, Meiling. Yelling won't do you anything," Eriol said calmly.
"Master, what exactly is the time?" Spinel Sun asked.
Eriol looked at his watch. 5 more minutes.
"It's 11:55…it's almost time…just wait."
A slight breeze flew past. Sakura wrapped her arms around herself because of the coldness. She felt so…empty. She closed her eyes thinking of Syaoran. If he were here, his arms would already be around her voluntarily to make sure she would never be cold. If he were here, she wouldn't even be here waiting patiently for Katana to show up. She opened her eyes.
"Syaoran…please be alright…" Sakura whispered so that nobody will hear.
But, someone heard without even having to hear her voice saying it. Tomoyo could see it right on Sakura's face. Tomoyo sighed. She knew what Sakura would be thinking and she didn't even have to have magic to break into her thoughts. She's been her best friends forever and she knew everything about Sakura.
'Sakura doesn't even know what she's going to do about the Cards. I can never imagine how Sakura could be so brave without the person she loves most. I could never be like that.' Tomoyo thought.
At that instant Eriol slipped his hand around her waist. He knew what she was thinking.
~~~~~
Suddenly the big clock bell rang…
Once, twice, three times, four times, five times, six times, seven times, eight times, nine times, ten times, eleven times, and finally twelve times. The bell had rung 12 times…signaling 12 midnight. First everything seemed the same…then…
Yue picked his head abruptly. A big black hole appeared around them. Tomoyo screamed while Eriol hugged her near to him. Before they all blacked out, Sakura heard one thing, Katana's evil laughter.
~~~~~
"Ugh…wh-what happened?" Eriol sat up from lying on the ground while rubbing his head.
"Eriol! you're awake!"
He turned around and saw a worried Tomoyo. Tomoyo ran up to him and hugged him tightly.
"Tomoyo?! Are you all right?"
"I'm fine...demo…" Tomoyo turned to a motionless body on the floor.
There was Sakura, unconscious.
"We've been awake for awhile, but she never woke up…" Meiling said who was standing next to Yue.
"Eriol, she's ok, ne? She has to be ok…" Kero said.
"She's fine. She'll wake up soon…"
Eriol finally noticed his surroundings with Tomoyo still hugging him. They were certainly not in Tuskimine Shrine anymore. The place where they were now was like a flying island. It was just like a big rock floating somewhere. No plants, no trees, no grass, just a lot of rocks. The thing that really caught his eyes was a big castle right in front of them. It looked like it went on forever because they couldn't see the exit of the castle on the other side. It was humungous. It was made of marble and there were no windows. The only way out of the castle or inside the castle were the enormous double doors that was a few feet in front of then.
"Where the heck are we?!"
"That's what we've been trying to find out," Yue said.
"But Yue, it seems to me that we are in another dimension. I don't know how…but I'm guessing that Katana put a spell that sends you to another dimension. I think that it could only be activated at midnight. Night is when Katana's powers are strongest because his magic is only used for evil. And you do know that nighttime or the dark is like evil's symbol," Kero said.
"…I knew that…" Eriol said.
"Yeah right…" Meiling muttered.
Eriol sweat dropped.
~~~~~
Sakura's eyes opened. But it felt so heavy that she closed her tired eyes once more. She felt like she couldn't move. So she just stayed there…motionless.
She heard voices talking. It was Kero's voice. He was just finishing explaining something. For some reason the only sentence she heard was the last sentence. "…nighttime or the dark is like evil's symbol…"
Her eyes suddenly didn't feel heavy. Her eyes fluttered open and she sat up unexpectedly.
"Evil…is dark…? So does that mean…peace is light?" She muttered to herself as she sat up.
"Sakura?!" Tomoyo ran to her best friend's side. Everybody soon joined her.
"Sakura-san, are you okay?" Eriol asked acting like a big brother.
"Do you hurt anywhere?" Meiling asked concerned for her friend.
"Sakura, do you know how worried we were about you?" Kero asked.
As her view focused, she saw her friends.
"Yue, where are we?" she asked.
Yue repeated what Kero had said before.
"Did…did you guys see…Syaoran?" Sakura asked hopefully.
"Gomen nasai…I'm afraid not. And is he is here…he's sure to be…in there…" Meiling said turning to the castle.
Sakura stood up. "Then, what are we staying in here for? Let's go inside!"
"Demo…Sakura-chan, are you sure you're alright?"
"I'll never be alright until Syaoran's back with us!" Sakura walked up to the double doors with her friends trailing behind her. As they opened the huge doors, with a little difficulty, they walked inside cautiously. Even inside was huge. There were columns on each side of the room. But even though when they first walked into the castle, the more they walked inside, the more they noticed that the marble floor soon turned into stone, rugged and dirty. The so called castle started to look like a dungeon. But with the determination to find Syaoran, they kept on going. It got darker and darker…
The darkness got to a point to where it was pitch black. They kept on walking and walking trying to figure out where everyone was. Suddenly there was a dim light up ahead and they walked toward it. There was another door in front of them and they noticed that the light was coming from there. Sakura gathered up her courage and opened the door. There were torches on the walls but they emitted very little light. And now the place they were in looked like a cave!
Up ahead Sakura saw something on the wall…it was a person! Who was it?
'Why does this seem familiar? Why does it feel like I've been here before?' Sakura thought.
As they walked closer the person was getting more and clearer. He had brown messy hair and he was bruised and battered.
Suddenly she knew…she knew it all…it was just like…her dream…
She ran from the group and towards the person. Her friends were shouting to come back so that they wouldn't get separated but that didn't matter.
Another figure popped out of nowhere and faced his hand toward the person hanging against the wall. Lightning surged through him and he cried out in pain.
"SYAORAN!!"
~~~~~
Syaoran picked his head up slowly and painfully. Then he saw her…why did she come?! Why does Sakura have to come and get herself in danger?!
"S-Sakura…w-why are you…here?" he replied weakly. "You shouldn't…b-be here…"
~~~~~
"KATANA, LET HIM GO!" Sakura shouted to Katana who was laughing hysterically.
"I told you I would take care of him first," he said laughing.
He looked at Syaoran and raised his hand to him so that his palm was facing him again. More lightning surged through Syaoran.
"AHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
"Stop it Katana!" Eriol shouted as the others reached Sakura's side.
"Syaoran, we'll get you down somehow!" Meiling cried.
"Oh no, you won't! Give me the Cards, Card Mistress, NOW!!!!!!! Or one more blast will kill this little weakling off," Katana retorted.
Sakura stood there, frozen. She didn't know what to do.
She looked up at Syaoran with her desperate eyes. He was staring right back at her. Sakura noticed that he was in a lot of pain right now. He was trying to breathe normally, he winced in pain, it looked like his arms were hurting really bad from hanging on the metal chain, and he looked badly bruised and hurt. He looked even worse than when she had seen him just a few hours ago when Katana broke into her house.
"S-Sakura…don't…gi-give…him…the…Cards………th-the Cards…need…you………Will…all…of…you…just…forget…about…me?" he said in a raspy voice.
"Xiao Lang, we'll never forget you! You're one of our friends, too, you know!" Meiling shouted.
"Syaoran, you're part of our little friend group whether you like it or not!" Tomoyo said.
"I know you really aren't very out-going but you're still our friend…" Eriol stated.
"…and friends never give up on each other," Suppi said.
"Gaki, what the heck are you talking about? Nobody could forget an annoying little gaki like you, so we won't even try…!" Kero said.
"Besides, if we left who would protect our Mistress if we're not there to protect her?" Yue asked.
"Syaoran, I won't leave until we're together…" Sakura said softly, "…because…I wouldn't be able to live without you…"
"Oh stop with this sappy talk. You people make me gag. So are you going to give me the Cards or not?" Katana said mockingly.
Sakura looked at Syaoran…and then Katana…
"What do I do?" she whispered.
"Hello?! The Cards?" Katana asked impatiently holding out his hand.
Sakura didn't move.
Eriol, Kero, Suppi, Meiling and Yue got ready for battle as Tomoyo hid behind a big rock watching all her friends carefully. Eriol took out his sun staff, Kero turned into Keroberos, and Suppi turned into the big Spinel Sun.
"I thought it would come to this," Katana said shaking his head slightly as if disapproving it, "But at least I'll get to have a little fun!"
"Meiling, stay with Tomoyo!" Eriol shouted.
"Awww…but…"
"No buts," he responded quickly and gave her a stern look.
Meiling ran over to the big rock where Tomoyo was.
Katana laughed maliciously. "Get ready, Cardmistress. After I get rid of your little annoying friends here I'll get those Cards…even if I had to take them from you!"
"No you won't…you won't hurt ANY of my friends! And you're not getting my Cards!" Sakura retorted.
She took out her wand and got ready to attack.
Then the battle started. Yue started first. He threw his sharp silver crystals directly at his enemy. As the crystals got closer to Katana, he just faced his hand towards them. The crystals deflected and suddenly went after Yue. He dodged out of the way and took out his bow and arrow. As he was aiming, Katana held out his hand again and a big energy ball went flying toward Yue. He got hit and fell to the ground hard.
Keroberos and Spinel Sun furiously attacked next. Kero spit fireballs at Katana while Spinel Sun spit his energy beams. Katana swiftly dodged out of the way looking as if he didn't move at all.
"Is that all you've got?" he asked.
Kero and Spinel Sun glared at him and spit out more fireballs and energy beams at him. Their attacks looked stronger and faster now, but even so, Katana dodged them like he was playing Dodge Ball.
Katana faked yawned. "Well, I think you've had enough now."
He held out his hand and fireballs and energy beams came out. They looked exactly like Kero's and Spinel Sun's fireballs and beams, but, Katana's were coming out even faster. Keroberos and Spinel Sun hit the ground as soon as they were hit.
"Kero! Spinel Sun!" Sakura cried.
~~~~~
'Ugh…it's so annoying not being able to do anything,' Syaoran thought as he watched the fight while clenching his fists.
~~~~~
"Meiling, do you think this is a good time to rescue Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked seeing how furious Syaoran looked.
Meilng glanced at her hurt cousin. "I'd say so. But doesn't Eriol want you to stay here?"
Tomoyo smiled. "He never said anything."
"Uh-oh…Tomoyo's being a bad girl."
"Well come on!"
~~~~~
Sakura and Eriol looked at Katana with furious eyes.
"Well Cardmistress, do you give up?" he asked.
"NEVER!!"
Sakura took out the Fly Card. Wings sprouted from her back.
"Two can play that game," Katana said.
Black bat wings sprouted from his back. He flew up.
"Sakura, you take him from the sky and I'll be your backup from the ground!" Eriol said.
Sakura nodded and followed Katana up in the air.
Katana had his arms crossed and had a bored look on his face.
"Well?"
Sakura took out the arrow card. "ARROW!"
A bow and arrows then appeared in her hands.
"You think you can beat me with puny arrows?" Katana asked.
Sakura tried flinging the arrows with the bow to Katana. He just dodged easily.
But as he was about to face his hand towards her, he was suddenly hit with energy beams. He was pushed back by the beams only a little and he furiously looked toward where it came from. It was from Eriol.
Katana seethed. "You little…"
Suddenly he went swooping down towards Eriol.
~~~~~
"NOOO ERI-"
"Tomoyo! Shut up!" Meiling said, covering Tomoyo's big mouth with her hand, "You'll attract attention!"
"Sorry but-"
"No buts…Eriol will be all right, he always is. But Syaoran needs us right now. He looks really tired," Meiling said.
"Oh alright…I just hope Eriol will be okay."
They began striding closer and closer towards Syaoran who was on the other side of the room. They hid behind boulders, stone columns, anything to avoid being seen. When they were close by Syaoran they tried to figure out how to get him off.
"I know!" Tomoyo said as she took out a hairpin from her hair.
"Tomoyo, this isn't the time to be fixing your hair you know," Meiling explained as she sweat dropped.
But Tomoyo used the sharp part to unlock the chains on him.
"Wow Tomoyo, how did you learn that?" Meiling asked amazed.
"Well, because I always wander off from my house, they sometimes lock the doors but I learned how to unlock them," she explained as she unlocked the other chain.
"Wow…"
Syaoran fell to the floor with a soft thud.
"…Huh?…"
"Syaoran, are you okay?" Tomoyo asked.
"…I'm fine. Where's Sakura?" he asked.
"Jeez, aren't you even happy to see us? We saved your butt!" Meiling whined.
"Sorry, Meiling," he said as he anxiously sat up weakly, "Thanks."
"Wait, don't get up! You're still hurt!" Tomoyo said.
"I have to help Sakura!" Syaoran said limping towards the battle.
Meiling and Tomoyo just stood there knowing that stopping him was impossible.
"Baka…" Meiling muttered.
~~~~~
"Eriol watch out!" Sakura shouted from the air.
But Katana had already reached him and hit him across the head with a lightning bolt that he cast from his hands. Eriol fell and was knocked out.
Katana soared up towards Sakura.
"You're all alone now!"
Sakura tried to fly away but Katana was faster and was catching up to her when…
"King of Thunder, come forth!!"
The lightning hit Katana straight on the back.
Katana, barely hurt, spun around.
"You!"
"Syaoran!?" Sakura yelled.
And sure enough there was Syaoran standing firmly on the ground, sword in one hand and a serious face on. Though he tried not to show it, he was wincing in pain.
Sakura swooped down on the ground near Syaoran and hugged him tightly.
"You're alright!"
Syaoran smiled but then he looked towards the ceiling.
Katana was there making a fist, gritting his teeth and was fuming mad.
"You…you…Li! You've ruined my plan! You're not supposed to be okay!" Katana shouted with anger as a vein popped up on his head.
"Well…I'm okay…so I guess your stupid plan failed," he replied.
Katana glared at him with angry eyes. But suddenly he cracked up laughing.
"You think you can still beat me? Look at you; you're the one already beaten up."
Sadly, it was true. Syaoran was still tired and could hardly stand up.
"That may be true, but…" Syaoran stepped in front of Sakura with his sword pointing at Katana, "I won't let you hurt her."
"But Syaoran…" Sakura started.
"Oh would you people stop with the sappy talk?! If you really want to fight just say it to my face!"
Everybody stood still.
Then Syaoran lunged at Katana. He swiped his sword at him but Katana easily dodged. Katana threw an energy ball at him but Syaoran dodged.
"You know nothing will happen if we just keep on dodging," Katana said.
Syaoran didn't say anything. He was panting hard.
"Hahahaha…see? You're already tired and all we really did was dodge each other. Face it you can't win."
"You're wrong."
"Fine let's see…"
"But Syaoran…you're hurt…" Sakura whimpered behind him.
"Sakura, don't worry…" he assured her.
"Try to beat him…but please…don't ….do anything crazy."
"…….What if I have to?"…….."
"Don't…please…you know what I'm talking about…don't try…killing yourself…"
"I can't promise you anything…"
"Please just try!"
But he was already off. He slashed his sword swiftly and rapidly at Katana. Katana dodged while laughing hysterically. Syaoran kept on trying to hit Katana but Katana just kept on dodging. They kept on dodging and trying to hit each other when they finally stopped.
Syaoran leaned on his sword to help keep himself up while panting. Katana was standing in front of Syaoran with a very amused face on.
"Wow, Li. I'm very impressed. But unfortunately for you, I'm getting just a bit impatient. So now for the big finale…" Katana suddenly was covered with black magic. The black magic around him kept on getting bigger and bigger until it almost touched the ceiling.
The black magic cleared and what was standing in the place of where Katana was?
A humungous, black, red-eyed dragon.
"Ahhh!!! What happened!?" Sakura asked hysterically.
Eriol, Spinel Sun, Yue and Kero showed up behind her.
"Kero! Yue! Eriol! Spinel Sun! Are you okay?"
"Believe us, we're fine," Eriol answered.
Sakura still wasn't certain.
"Forget about us for the moment. Be careful…Katana is very powerful as a dragon."
"WHAT!? THAT'S KATANA!?" Syaoran asked in a surprised voice.
"Unfortunately yes."
"Why the heck is he a dragon?"
"Well…he can shape shift. And it just so happened that as a dragon he's the most powerful."
"Damn."
"Alright…let's get ready to fight," Yue said wearily.
"WHAT!? I'm not going to let ANY of you to go and get yourself killed!" Sakura said.
"What are we going to do then? Just sit here until we're all better?" Kero said sarcastically.
~~~~~
'No way will I let them go fight Katana now, especially when he's a dragon. There must be something else I can do……'
Syaoran stared at Sakura and the others disagreeing about fighting Katana.
'…there is…sorry Sakura…But I just can't let anyone get hurt.'
~~~~~
"Sakura stay here with the others…and I mean it…STAY HERE!" Syaoran suddenly blurted out.
"What? But Syaoran…"
"…and remember…umm…I love you…"
And with that he ran towards the humongous dragon with courage.
'I won't let you hurt anyone, Katana…'
TO BE CONTINUED…
~~~~~
Well…that was kind of long. Sorry you guys didn't hear from me for two months!
I know you're mad but please REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
