MWAHAHAHAHA Here I am again, continuing to update a story that almost no
one(except to my two loyal fans, Evening Star and Zenin) reviews. It
really ticks me off sometimes, but I really want to finish my story.
Now first my disclaimer:
I don't own anything Clamp has made So please don't try and sue Anyway if you did, you wouldn't get paid Enough of disclaimers! Time to meet the CCS crew!!
"speaking" 'thinking' [[psychically communicating]]
~*****~ change of scene ~^^^^^~ flashback ~~ Change into/out of first person POV
Now onto the story!!!!
Once untitled now-
He Has Returned (Crappy title, I know, but it has multiple meanings
Chapter Five- Revelations
~*****~
I saw seven large, ten-foot tall golems, undoubtedly Higante's men, leave the castle at amazing speeds, on one mission- search and destroy. Destroy whom? Destroy the Clowmistress of course. That wretched Clow Reed. The Backstabber. The Liar. The Traitor. Had it not been for him my plans to rule the Earth all those years ago would have come to fruition. Now is my time for revenge. Now is the time all of his descendants will pay. With their lives.
~~ (In case you didn't realize it, that was Mangkukulam speaking)
"Do you think Higante can handle this mission, Lord Mangkukulam?"
The dark magician turned to face Demonyo Unawa, the powerful and devious psychic, and one of his first creations.
"I do not know Unawa, with the intervention of the Guardian, one that may be more powerful than Fate, everything seems unclear at the moment."
"My spies report that the Guardians are on the move. They have sensed our presence. Apparently, a day before your escape the council deployed one of their Guardians to protect the Clowmistress and her friends. The other Guardians were deployed only an hour ago, on the orders of Master Lakas."
"So this current Guardian is?"
"We do not know his alias as of yet, but it seems that he has been childhood friends with one of our targets."
"Which one?"
"We do not know, my spies tell us he leaves the Sanctuary every summer and fall to go to some secret magician island in China."
"Thank you for this information Unawa."
"You are welcome my Lord."
Mangkukulam turned to face the window once again after Demonyo Unawa left.
"So Fate, your descendant has taken up the family business, and despite his young age he seems to possess more power than you. It will be interesting to see how this will turn out."
He smiled evilly then gave out a ringing devilish cackle.
~*****~
The close group of eleven friends made their way to the soccer field, totally oblivious to the coming threat. All of them except one however.
~~ unknown person
(A/N Please tell me you guys have figured out who the Guardian is??? I mean some many hints have just been given, and this will surely give it away.)."
My eyes narrowed as I sensed the approach of coming evil. I looked over to the large group, looking for any sign that one of them, any one of them, had sensed the approaching danger. I did not like what I saw. The six girls were totally oblivious to any thing that was happening, all chatting about their boyfriends, and how Rika would find hers eventually (sorry, no Rika/Terada in this fic, to me it makes Terada look like a pedophile!!). I looked over to the guys. Yamazaki and Shen were saying something about how the team would finally reach the finals. The others were just staring straight ahead. I extend my powers to sense what the danger is. I cringe when I realize what Mangkukulam has sent. Golems. Seven of them, undoubtedly Higante's men. Considering their speed I give it fifteen twenty minutes. I have to do something to make them aware. I efficiently concoct a plan in my mind.
~~ normal POV
3:04
The eleven teenagers reached the field in about five minutes. They had been chatting happily until Syaoran and the guys went to the locker rooms to change while Sakura and the girls got some seats.
~*****~
The seven golems landed about fifteen minutes away from the field, so they could trek the rest of their journey on foot, unnoticed by their quarry.
3:11
Syaoran, Eriol, Ryo, Yamazaki, and Shen walked out onto the field to join the rest of the team.
"Coach," Yamazaki said, "I'd like to introduce you to Syaoran, I think you heard about him from Eriol and I, he plays striker, and Ryo, we heard he's a pretty good goalie."
"Good, heaven knows we need a better goalie than that slob of a player we have now, what's his name?"
"Daisuke sir."(MWAHAHAHA I hate that stinking puke from Digimon, Takeru could kick his ass anyday!!!! Sorry to all of his fans*attempts to run from rotten tomatoes*)
"Yeah, that's the kid. Well Ryo Yamamoto is it? Go to that end of the field, Shen and some other guys are gonna drill you there. Syaoran you stay here. After this we'll do some two on two."
"Yes coach." The team replied simultaneously.
~*****~
The seven golems stood there ground, becoming statues, sentries born from the ground beneath them. Their evil auras instantly vanished.
~~ unknown person
In the excitement, it appears that those damned golems have disappeared. I curse myself for losing track of them. It's impossible for seven golems to just disappear!!! I concentrate on my current task as I try to find those wretched living statues.
~~
3:45
The coach walks over to where the team is drilling Ryo.
"How's he doing Shen? Shen?"
The coach looks at Shen, who is only gaping, mouth to the ground.
"How many has he missed Shen?"
"uuummm.zero sir."
"ZERO?!?!?! That's impossible, out of how many? Twenty??? Fifty? Hundred????"
"He has missed zero out of two hundred fifty six." Shen said, completely amazed.
The coach's mouth just dropped to the ground.
"Looks like we got ourselves a new goalie."
"I would say so coach. Nothing is gonna get past him. Not even that wonder kid, what's his name? Ichi-jouji?
"We got another wonder kid over there. Syaoran got past our best three defenders with no problems. I think that's 30 goals for him."
"It's perfect since Tai was injured and can't play the rest of the year, and well we've always wanted to replace Daisuke." (A/N AAHHH!!! TOMATOES!!!) Yamazaki said, joining the conversation."
"I don't think we need to see anymore. YO!!! Syaoran!! Ryo!!! You guys made the team. You guys will be starting."
"Thanks coach." Syaoran and Ryo said.
"I'll see you all here Monday for our first official practice of the spring season!!"
"Yes coach!!"
The five guys made their way to the lockers where they freshened up, since they were all going to the spring carnival with the girls.
"You guys did great!!! Syaoran, Ryo." Meilin and Sakura squealed.
Syaoran and Ryo said their thanks and wrapped their arms around their girlfriends. All eleven of them made their way to the fair, excited about all the things that they would do at there.
~*****~
"Now golems, do not let them escape!!!" The giant monstrosity said as he opened his eyes, which began glowing a bright yellow. After sensing their departure and eventual descent upon the Clowmistress, Higante went to go join the battle.
'Now is your time to pay, Clowmistress'
~*****~
The seven evil statues moved once again from their positions and dashed to challenge the Clowmistress.
~~ unknown person
I am struck with fear when I sense those wretched golems again. They were approaching. And fast. There was no way I could help with any of them noticing me. I must complete my mission with the utmost secrecy, the Council told me. It would be a lot easier if I could be open about it. I decide to play this by ear, which I hope would turn out better than I expected it to.
~~
Sakura, Syaoran, and Eriol stop dead in their tracks. All three release their magical staff and weapons. Ryo takes out a scimitar and Tomoyo and Meilin follow suit. Chiharu, Rika, Naoko, Shen, and Yamazaki take fighting poses, but they had no idea what to expect, never being in a situation like this.
"Tomoyo, Ryo, Meilin, make sure the others don't get hurt!!" Sakura orders
All three take defensive positions in front of the five fighters. The eleven of them stand there, watching, waiting, hoping, that this evil was not as bad as they sensed. They were proven wrong once again when the ground beneath Tomoyo, Meilin, Ryo, and the other five suddenly shot up, encasing the eight of them in a solid prison of concrete. The other three remaining magicians run to their aide, only to find the ground trying to do the same to them. All of them took flight. Seven golems step out of the woods. In a monotone voice they all speak at the same time.
"Give up Clowmistress, and no harm will come to your friends."
"Not if I can help it!!!"
Sakura quickly called out all four of the elements and attacked the golems. Earth, Firey, Watery, and Windy attack with great precision, speed, and strength. When the smoke cleared however, the seven golems stood, unfazed by the powerful attack. Sakura was stunned to see that her attack did nothing. The golems again spoke in their dreary voices.
"We warned you Clowmistress. We give you one last chance to come peacefully, before your friends are hurt."
Eriol and Syaoran attack this time. Using the same attack they did against Alakdan, then combining it with some elemental magic. Their attacks, unfortunately, also failed. The golems used their collective voices again, this time delivering a solemn message.
"It is time to show you how serious Mangkukulam is Clowmistress, now we shall have to kill your followers."
The golems moved with great grace and speed, very much contradicting how one would think great stone statues would move. Four moved towards Syaoran and three attack Eriol. Sakura quickly moved towards them, about to call forth the shield card.
"SYAORAN!! ERIO.oomf"
Sakura was enveloped by the same spell that had imprisoned Meilin, Tomoyo, and the others. She was helpless and hopeless, and could only watch in horror as the battle unfolded before her.
Syaoran was putting up a great fight. He moved from one golem to another, unleashing attack after attack. He probably had launched more attacks than all the golems combined, but they just weren't causing enough damage. The four golems kept advancing.
'Got to pick up the pace, for Sakura's sake' Syaoran thought, glancing at Sakura.
Eriol however was not faring as well. His attacks didn't even hit most of the time. The golems that had attacked him were the three faster ones. They just dodged attack after attack.
'How can I defeat them if I can't hit them?' Eriol thought, then chanced a look at Tomoyo, and soon became more vicious in his attacks.
At some times it seemed as if victory for Eriol and Syaoran was only one punch or hit away, then at others it seemed as if victory was eons away. The tide turned several times, the biggest change was when Syaoran almost defeated two golems. But when the tide changed one last time, it was irrevocable. Three golems landed a punch on Eriol, one after another. He landed as a bloody crumpled heap next to Sakura. Syaoran picked up the pace some, desperately trying to make up for lost ground, but to no avail. He had defeated three golems before he was taken down himself, by a powerful attack all four golems used at the same time. He too landed next to Sakura.
"I'm sorry I failed Ying Fa"
"It's okay Syaoran", she said crying, thinking that this was finally it, after everything they had all been through together, they would be defeated by a couple statues."
The four remaining golems began chanting, beginning a powerful beam attack that they aimed at Sakura, Syaoran, and Eriol.
"We are sorry it had to be this way Clowmistress, if you had only listened, instead of resisted."
~~ unknown person
Well, it looks like its time for me to intervene again. I closed my eyes, to prevent the glow from being noticed. I muttered an incantation to myself.
"Buhawi ng poder, ipagtanggol si tatluhan"
~~
A rushing wind cam from nowhere, forming a bright white tornado. It swept over the eight captives, releasing them from their prisons, then wandered over to Sakura, who was also released. It hovered over them for a second, healing Syaoran and Eriol, both of whom stood up after the process was complete. Much like the last battle, this energy began to power up Sakura. At the end of powerup however, the four golems crumbled to the ground. All eleven of them were puzzled but relieved. But a dark wind came forth, blowing away that relief, and revealed Higante, the evil giant.
"Sakura blast him!!!" Ryo yelled
Higante, hearing Ryo, again bound him with magical chains, along with Meilin, Tomoyo, Rika, Chiharu, Naoko, Yamazaki and Shen.
He raised his hand against the coming attack Sakura released.
'That was a powerful attack, no doubt enforced by a Guardians power, but which ones of those cretins is it?'
They were all stunned to see that Higante blocked the attack with just his palm.
He turned to the remaining three warriors and shot some dark magic at them. Sakura and Eriol were both chained to the ground, but Syaoran somehow escaped.
"So Li Xiao Lang, have you ever tried to fight one of Mangkukulam's thirteen demons one your own?"
Syaoran tightened the grip on his sword.
"I have talked to many of the fighters before I killed them, you know what they said they felt all throughout the battle?"
Syaoran scowled at him.
"Fear"
Higante suddenly attacked, delivering what should have been K.O. to Syaoran. The others could hear the sickening crunch of breaking ribs. Syaoran doubled over in apparent pain. Higante gave Syaoran no time to recover, and quickly picked him up by his feet at spun around, launching Syaoran, who hit a statue with his right shoulder, breaking both the statue and his right arm and shoulder. Higante smirked when he saw Syaoran standing up again.
"You have great determination kid, but you don't know enough about what I can do to even have a chance against me. So while you're over there wallowing in self-pity I'm just gonna waltz over here and kill your beloved cherry blossom."
Syaoran instantly understood the fear those other warriors felt, it was fear of failure, not of death, but knowing that you could not stop the evil, and that evil was going to keep killing and torturing. With this in mind he picked up his sword and charged Higante once more.
"Now that's more like it." Higante said, seeing Syaoran charging him
This time it seemed as if Syaoran had the upper hand, and almost for one hopeful moment, it seemed as if Higante was definitely going to lose. But alas, it must have been an illusion, a cruel trick played on their minds and their hearts, for with one sickening crunch, Higante paralyzed Syaoran, breaking both of Syaoran's legs. Syaoran screamed out in pain and agony, tears, caused by the pain of all his injuries and the pain of failure, flowed freely down his face. Sakura too was crying, begging for Higante to stop, but Higante wouldn't hear any of it, he was having too much fun breaking the body, mind, and soul of the determined, but beaten, little wolf.
"Looks like I win Li"
He picked up Syaoran in his massive hands and began to squeeze unmercifully, constricting Syaoran, slowly depriving him of life. All the while ignoring the calls of Syaoran's friends and Sakura.
~~
I've had enough of this, I'm tired of watching, waiting in the background, while my friends almost die, screw this and screw the Council. I am not going stand by and watch my best friend die.
~~
Ryo opened his eyes, both glowing a bright white.
"PAKALAWAN!!"
The dark chains holding him to the ground vaporized in his power. Higante let go of Syaoran to shield his eyes from the bright light being emitted from Ryo.
"Baguhin ang anyo."
A torrent of white wind enveloped Ryo, encasing him for a few seconds, then dispersing to reveal what seemed like an angel. He was no longer dressed in his white gi, but now dressed in full battle armor, which was all white. The armor had strange engravings on it. Eriol's eyes widened with realization when he recognized those engravings as that of the Guardian Force.
'That's it!! His last name, he must be a Guardian, a descendant of Fate!!!'
Ryo also had feathered wings, much like Yue's. He muttered another incantation, changing his scimitar. He grabbed it out of the air and got into a battle stance. Sakura and the others gaped with amazement at the power Ryo was currently displaying.
"Let us see how you fair against a fully trained Guardian demon."
Higante's eyes widened for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and attacked.
CLIFFHANGER!!!! But considering I got this chapter out only two days after chapter four you should all be grateful. To show your gratitude I would kindly accept reviews, anonymous or signed. Just REVIEW!!!!
Congratulations to Terra, who figured out that the language in which all the badguy's names are in and the Guardians language is TAGALOG!!! Not to mention a couple other dialects of the Philipppines.
Special thanks to Evening Star and Zenin- thanks to your advice and support. I would have given up on this story after chapter 3 if not for your reviews. Thanks!!!!

I saw seven large, ten-foot tall golems, undoubtedly Higante's men, leave the castle at amazing speeds, on one mission- search and destroy. Destroy whom? Destroy the Clowmistress of course.

The dark chains holding him to the ground vaporized in his power. Higante let go of Syaoran to shield his eyes from the bright light being emitted from Ryo.
"Baguhin ang anyo."
A torrent of white wind enveloped Ryo, encasing him for a few seconds, then dispersing to reveal what seemed like an angel. He was no longer dressed in his white gi, but now dressed in full battle armor, which was all white. The armor had strange engravings on it. Eriol's eyes widened with realization when he recognized those engravings as that of the Guardian Force.
'That's it!! His last name, he must be a Guardian, a descendant of Fate!!!'
Ryo also had feathered wings, much like Yue's. He muttered another incantation, changing his scimitar. He grabbed it out of the air and got into a battle stance. Sakura and the others gaped with amazement at the power Ryo was currently displaying.
"Let us see how you fair against a fully trained Guardian demon."
Higante's eyes widened for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and attacked.
CLIFFHANGER!!!! But considering I got this chapter out only two days after chapter four you should all be grateful. To show your gratitude I would kindly accept reviews, anonymous or signed. Just REVIEW!!!!
Congratulations to Terra, who figured out that the language in which all the badguy's names are in and the Guardians language is TAGALOG!!! Not to mention a couple other dialects of the Philipppines.
Special thanks to Evening Star and Zenin- thanks to your advice and support. I would have given up on this story after chapter 3 if not for your reviews. Thanks!!!!
