Card Captor Sakura: The New Adventures
Chapter 7: Fight! Sorry it took so long to write chapter seven. I haven't had a lot of reviews, so it's probably because of that. Hope you review this. I've put a lot of work into the action sequences. Last time, we left off where Dalong revealed his true identity to Meiling. Let's see how Meiling takes it. Also, Ashura was just about to attack our three magick using heroes.

Meiling stared wide-eyed at the form before. What had once been the lovable lug of a guy, Dalong, was now the legendary warrior Tenshi Metura. They stayed like that for a while, Dalong not sure of what Meiling's reaction. "Yatta!" Meiling literally screamed as she jumped on him. "I never thought my boyfriend would be such a great hero!" Dalong mentally sweat dropped. This was the last reaction he had expected from her!
Meling slowly let her grip go. "Go. Help our friends." she said. Dalong/Tenshi nodded and spread his great metallic wings. With one swish of his wings he was off the ground and headed towards the playground. Meiling wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes and ran in the direction that Tenshi had flown towards.
***************************
Tenshi flew overhead and surveyed the area. The battle had begun quickly. Ashura had gotten smart and was using Skeletons this time. {You see, though they are weak, the Skeletons are also the only undead minion able to withstand the holy light that Tenshi can use. Their also a lot easier to summon then Zombies} Syaoran and Sakura were fightling hand-to-hand against the Skeletons, Syaoran with his own ablitys and Sakura with the help of the Fight card. Eriol was content to stand back and act as the ranged striker, blasting as many as he could with his fireballs.
"Too bad the Guardian Beasts aren't around," Dalong thought. "No matter," Tenshi's consience replied telepathically, "We should be able to handle this." Dalong raised an eyebrow mentally, "Should?" "Let's just help them." Without further warning, Tenshi took control and dived towards the chaos. Ashura spotted him as he headed towards the Childern of Clow. "Damn it! He'll ruin everything." He turned to Dark Moon and Eclispe, who had been surveying the fight. "Dark Guardians, heed thy master. Stop Metura from reaching the Children."
"Yes Master!" They said in unison and flew off to intercept the Angel. Ashura's eyes gleamed as his minons went to do what they had been created for. He turned his attention towards the Children again and started to cast a spell.....
*****************
As Tenshi flew on, he immediately sensed two presences headed towards him. He was only just able to dodge Dark Moon's claws as they slashed at him. He floated to the same level as Dark Moon just as Eclispe came. He was surrounded, to state the obvious. He narrowed his eyes through his visor. "Ah...The Dark Guardians the prophecy spoke about." Dark Moon smiled evily. "I see that it is true what they say. That only the Angel and his enemies will know the prophecy." Dark Moon shifted into a battle stance and brought out his weapon, an energy scythe. The blade seemed to eat the very essence of the air around it, reflecting the dark magicks that had been used to create the weapon.
"So, you wanna play dirty, huh?" The Dalong side of Tenshi said. Positioning his hands in prayer, he summoned forth his own weapon. "Power divine, return to me what was once lost, the sword that saved so many a life from darkness." He held out his hand, as though to receive something "To me, my blade!" The ground rumbled and opened. From this abyss emerged a shining light. It hovered around as the abyss closed and then flew into Tenshi's hand. He grasped it and it transformed into a broad sword which seemed to have been crafted from the finest crystal. The handle had an angel on it, the wings spreading out into the hand guards.
Eclispe and Dark Moon tensed. Tenshi could see this. He was not holding any ordinary sword, but one that had been long ago been created by celestial beings for the sole purpose of destroying evil. It was the Crystal Blade, Evangelion. In shone out brightly, as though it had it's own source of light, a direct opposite to Dark Moon's weapon, which seemed to be darker then night itself. Tenshi brought the blade up to cover-half his face."Hello again, old friend. It's been too long," he said quietly to the sword. He brought it down, and gestured towards his enemies. "Let's dance."
*********************
The rumbling that had shook the ground a while ago suddenly stopped. Sakura looked up and saw a bright light head towards.....Tenshi Metura! The Metal Angel had once again showed up to assist them. She had no time to think about that for long as another Skeleton brought it's blade down upon her. She swiftly dodged the blow and kicked at the Skeleton's leg, making it fall into the pile of bones it once was. She and Syaoran had been fighting the melee battle while Eriol was acting as the artillery piece, making sure there weren't too many Skeletons that Sakura and Syaoran could handle. It had been working so far, until they all sensed a gathering of dark magicks from Ashura.
Bones of the fallen skeletons were swept up in a wind of magick. Ashura began to chant; "Powers of darkness, so great and evil. Bring forth thy champion to vanquish my foes!" Slowly the bones began to reform but instead of many skeletons, they became one creature. "I was afraid of this. Ashura has summoned the Bone Golem." Sakura and Syaoran finished off the last remnants of the Skeletons and turned to face this new threat.
The Bone Golem was a huge, monstrous construct of bones well over 12 feet tall. It's face resembled Death itself, large fangs curling upwards from its lower jaw. Empty eye sockets looked upon the Children of Clow. A thick, spiny back and spiked shoulder guards protected it from being attacked from behind and above. In one hand it held a wicked looking sycthe which was also made from bone. The metal blade, though chipped and worn, looked as though it could slice a man in half as easily as a hot knife slices butter.
Sakura "Hoeeee"ed in her typical style. "How are we suppose to fight that?" Syaoran quickly went through the list of Cards they could use. "Sakura, use the Big on me. It will even out the odds." Sakura nodded. Taking out the Big, she began to chant the command. "Oh Big, make Syaoran as big as the creature before me. Big!" The magical energies of the Big released and surrounded Syaoran. He grew as large as the Bone Golem.
The now super-sized Syaoran readied himself for the coming fight. The Bone Golem came at him, its feet thundering upon the ground. Syaoran easily flipped over the ponderous Bone Golem as it charged at him. Syaoran swung his sword hard, but the Bone Golem's tough hide absorbed the attack. With surprising agility, the monster swung its fist around, hitting Syaoran square on the jaw and knocking him to the ground. The Bone Golem brought its scythe down upon Syaoran who swiftly rolled out of the way.
Syaoran swung his sword low, aiming for the monster's legs but again the golem dodged the attack, jumping over the attack and brining down its weapon on Syaoran once again. Syaoran met the attack head on, blocking the blow with his sword. However, the Bone Golem's supernatural strength was becoming too much for Syaoran, a boy of age thirteen. Sakura, upon seeing this, took the intiative. "Power, lend thy strength to my love. Power!"
Power's magical energies released and swirled around Syaoran. Feeling renewed strength and vigour, Syaoran quickly gained the upper hand, countering a blow which sent the Bone Golem's deadly scythe flying into the lake, causing a huge splash. Eriol quickly shouted, "The head! It's the source of it's power!" Syaoran understood. With one deft slash, Syaoran severed the Bone Golem's head. The once mighty Golem began to break apart. Sakura recalled the Power and the Big, Syaoran shrinking to his normal size.
Meanwhile, Tenshi Metura was giving as much as he got from Dark Moon and Eclispe. "Dark Fire!" Eclispe sent a burst of black flames towards the Armored Angel. Tenshi charged headlong into the flame, trusting his celestial armor to stave off the attack. He surprised Eclispe by coming out from the tail-end of the attack and knocking him senseless, sending him spiraling towards the ground. Dark Moon quickly charged Tenshi, scythe ready to slice Tenshi. Tenshi swung around with godly-speed and parried the blow. Dark Moon flew back, distancing himself from Tenshi. Raising his hand, Dark Moon created a dark ball of energy. Without any warining, shards of the dark energy hurled towards Tenshi.
Knowing instinctively that his armor could not withstand the dark energy, Tenshi swiftly dodged the attack and retaliated with his own attack. Flapping his wings hard, he sent out a wave of razor-sharp metal feathers towards Dark Moon. Dark Moon flew low to avoid the "Razor Wind" attack. Tenshi followed the attack in, swinging Evangelion at Dark Moon who avoided the attack with unnatural speed, countering with an attack from his own dark scythe. Tenshi parried the blow yet again, this time giving no quarter to Dark Moon and slashed one of his wings off, causing Dark Moon to scream in pain and hurtle towards the ground. It was then he spotted Meiling heading towards the battle.
Tenshi quickly dove down into the cover of the bushes, wanting to stop Meiling but not as he was. Little did he know that he was being watched by Eclipse as he quickly recalled his armor and spirit back into the Heaven's Gem, leaving only the ordinary boy, Dalong, behind. Eclispe grinned evilly as he made his way towards his master.
***********************
"Give up, Anbaa. You cann't hope to defeat us." Eriol cried out. Anbaa just laughed. "The battle is hardly over." As he said this, the bones of the fallen skeletons began to form into a dozen Bone Golems, smaller then the original but fearsome nonetheless. Sakura "Hoooeee"ed again, seeing that many Bone Golems. They were out numbered 4 to one and the odds were stacked against them. Looking up into the night sky, she hoped that she would see Tenshi Metura diving down to assist them, but the sky was empty except for the stars. "Has Tenshi abandoned us?", she thought, but quickly dismissed the idea.
Just then she heard the sound of running and heavy breathing. She turned around to see Meiling enter the battle, with Dalong dogging her steps. "Meiling! Dalong! What on earth are you doing here? Get out before you get hurt!" Meiling just grinned and smiled while Dalong was visibly worried. "I can't let you have all the fun, now can I?" Unbeknownst to them, Eclipse had crept up to his master and had told him who Tenshi's host was.
Anbaa laughed , loud enough to get the attention of the entire group. He pointed his staff at Meiling at let loose a barrage of fireballs, knowing that Dalong would try and save her. Most of the fireballs off target, but one was right on mark. Meiling saw this and stood in place, frozen by fear. "This is just like my dream!" she thought. Just then, her vision came to fruitation as Dalong jumped in front of her to take the blast. "NOOO!!!" she screamed as she saw Dalong enveloped by the blast.

Okay, okay...I know. I just love using cliffhangers! Anyway, no hints for next chapter, but I might get it done in about 2 to 4 weeks depending on how much free time I have. Please review!
