Mr. Badguy87: Where's Ryo?? I need him to start my disclaimer?
Syaoran: Don't you remember that he won't be with us for another four days??
Mr. Badguy87: No I don't!!
Sakura: But you did.
Mr. Badguy87: Kero get your gluttonous butt out here and start the disclaimer!!
Kero: *looks up from pudding bowl and growls* You can't touch me!! I'm not your character, just like Sakura, Syaoran, Eriol, Tomoyo and the rest of the original cast, the only thing you own is the plot, the Guardian Force, and Ryo.
Mr. Badguy87: Thanks for the disclaimer pudding face. Suppi inform our readers of important information!!
Suppi: Here are some things his loyal readers might want to know:

He Has Returned
Chapter Ten Part II
From Bad To Worse
Syaoran and Sakura both teleported right in the middle of mayhem. There were people screaming and running away from galloping monstrosities, the same enemy that attacked them shortly beforehand. They were quickly met by Meilin, Tomoyo, Eriol, and the rest of their friends, who joined them in battle.
"We have to stop them!!" Sakura shouted over the din, while calling upon the element cards to help in the battle.
"What the hell are those things anyway!!" Syaoran asked as he barely dodged an oncoming attack
"Those are Death Knights, more of Unawa's freaks" Eriol replied as he cast a shield over a couple cowering behind an overturned table.
"How do we beat them?" Shen asked as Syaoran handed him a sword.
"I have no clue, I guess we just have to keep trying stuff until something works." Eriol replied
"Good plan" Meilin said sarcastically
"It's the best we have as of yet, seeing as Ryo isn't here"
Syaoran and Eriol handed out weapons to those who didn't have one. Shen and Yamazaki were given swords, since they had trained with them during lessons with one of the clan trainers. Tomoyo had her bo, Meiling had her cutlass, Rika was given a lance, Chiharu a war hammer, and Naoko was given a bow and quiver. The weapons were magically endowed, to reflect spells and attacks. After the group was fully armed, they agreed to split up and attempt to stop as many of the Death Knights as possible. Syaoran and Sakura led one group, and the other led by Eriol and Meilin. Both teams took cover in nearby buildings and started chanting spells at their adversaries. In the building occupied by Sakura and her group, Sakura and Syaoran used different spells against the Death Knights while Naoko, Shen, and Rika defended against any that got close enough. A similar strategy was used in the other building, but Eriol was the main shooter, and Tomoyo and Meilin, both with limited magically skills, backed him up. Chiharu and Yamazaki defended against close range intruders.
The Death Knights were becoming increasingly frustrated when they realized that the two groups were very well bunkered.
"Lord, the Clowmistress and her companions are putting up a stronger resistance than expected."
The Death Knight that was in command growled in frustration.
"More of her friends are on the way from the east, they are being led by Yelan, a powerful magician of the Li Clan." the Death Knight continued. "I know we have orders to keep them alive if possible but the Clowmistress's followers are becoming too much of a nuisance. Give us the order master."
"Very well, I will just have to inform Lord Unawa of this decision. You may kill whoever gets in the way, just bring me the Clowmistress.
"Yes Lord!"
The Death Knights became more voracious in their attacks, and it wasn't long before the team had their first casualties- Yamazaki and Shen.
"We need to find their weakness now!!!" Eriol shouted at the other team
So far both teams had caused very limited damage to the Death Knights ranks, considering how much power they used against them. They tried every thing, advanced magic didn't work. They found elemental magic to be totally useless, although fire did seem to have some effect, it wasn't enough to stop them, only deter them. It was becoming increasingly difficult to defend against them. It seemed hopeless.
~*****~
"Master Yamamoto, should you not intervene?"
"No, I want to see if they can handle this, if they can't we are in a perfect position to intervene."
"Yes Master"
~*****~
"GODDAMNIT!! WHY THE HELL HAVEN"T THEY BEEN DEFEATED YET????" Unawa yelled
"They are doing quite well against our men sir"
"DON'T YOU THINK I CAN SEE THAT??"
"Sire, may i suggest asking for hel-"
BOOM!!!
Unawa was standing in front of his former servant, who was now nothing except a pile of ashes.
~*****~
The group of dedicated warriors was almost overpowered. All of them had suffered plenty of injuries. Sakura, Syaoran, and Rika were the only ones that were still conscious for the first team. Syaoran was helping Rika take down close range targets but the Death Knights simply just got back up after being hit. Sakura combined as many cards as she could. She called upon Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Thunder, Shot, Power, Fight, and Arrow. She had never been able to use this many cards at once before, but despite the enormous amount of power being used against the Death Knights, they simply would not stay down.
Meiling, Eriol, and Tomoyo were the only ones still fighting over at the second team. Meiling however was having great difficulty defending against the close targets. After Chiharu and Yamazaki fell unconscious due to their injuries, Meiling had graciously agreed to pick up the slack on the defensive end. Things were looking grim as about fifteen Death Knights were charging towards their left flank and another ten chargin from the right. Eriol and Tomoyo, who was now armed with a magical bow conjured up by Eriol, split up, but were only able to stop a few of the chargers, the rest just kept coming. Meiling in frustration at their situation threw her flaming sword at the attackers, burrowing straight through one of their heads. It let out a deathly scream then just burst into flame. Meiling scored their first kill.
"What did I just do?" Meiling said, perplexed
Eriol, realizing none of them had ever hit one of the Death Knights' heads, immediately called out to Syaoran
"SYAORAN!!! HIT THEIR HEADS WITH FLAME!!"
After that occurred, total chaos ensued. But this time, it was for the Death Knights. Tomoyo charged her arrows with flame and Meiling, whose favorite element was fire, had a field day. The Death Knights were in disarray and falling back. When the group was confident enough they got out of their bunkered buildings, formed a strong line,then decimated the Death Knights. They cheered when the Death Knights turned and retreated.
Eriol, Syaoran, and Sakura immediately began healing their fallen friends. It was about a minute or two before they all regained consciousness.
"Meiling, Tomoyo," Eriol commented, "Your magic has greatly improved. I am very impressed."
Meiling and Tomoyo blushed at the compliment.
"It really has you two" Syaoran chimed in," For two people whose magic powers have blossomed really late, both of you have accomplished a lot in such a short period."
"It took us four years to come to we are now Syaoran," Meiling said," I wouldn't call it short"
"No really" Eriol insisted," For only training a few years you two are really advanced. It took Syaoran, Sakura, and me a long while to be able to do what we can, and we had the predisposition for it."
Immediately Yelan and few clan members, along with the four guardians, Fujitaka, and Touya could be seen running up the hill frantically.
"We weren't able to get past those Death Knights," Yelan said worriedly," After a few minutes they just teleported out of here, I assume it has something to do with you guys."
"Meiling here was brilliant." Syaoran said
The joys of victory however didn't last very long. Ominous clouds spread over over the moon, and an evil shadow descended upon them.
Yelan, Sakura, Syaoran, Eriol, and those who had some sense of magic looked to the sky with foreboding. However, the dark clouds simply passed by, as if taunting its prey. They all lowered their gaurd a notch when
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Eriol screamed grabbing his head.
Syaoran walked up next to him and knelt down but became pale and also began screaming. Soon, all of Sakura's friend and Sakura herself were falling under some kind of evil magic.
"What's happening to them??" Kero yelled out to Yelan
"Their minds are being invaded." Yelan said hurrying over to her son's side, attempting to comfort him. "I only know of three people in the world right now that have the power to attack a magician's mind- Master Lee, Ryo, and..."
"Lord Demonyo Unawa, at your service." Unawa said, appearing out of thin air.
Yelan and the others immediately raised their weapons, but Unawa simply raised his hand and melted them. Fujitaka, Touya, and several of the Li Clan magicians charged him, but soon found themselves being blasted through the walls of nearby buildings.
Yelan chanted an incantation and sent a stream of liquidy flame towards Unawa, who redirected it towards Sakura. Yelan, sensing her mistake, immediately stopped her attack.
"Leave them be Unawa, they don't deserve this kind of pain!" Fujitaka yelled. "They are only teenagers for God's sake!"
Unawa waved his hand again, and the screaming of the poor teenagers ceased. They were soon panting on the ground, unbelievably sore. Sakura was the only one able to move, and propped herself against her staff.
Yelan and the four guardians charged at Unawa, launching several attacks at once. Unawa evaded all of them and once again merely raised his palms. Yelan and the guardians soon found themselves encased in a black prison. Dark electric bolts shot out of the sides and hit Yelan and the others. They screamed in pain for a few minutes then the attacks stopped. Sakura, too stunned and drained from the attack on her could do nothing.
Sakura looked to her left and saw her friends, panting, broken, and defeated. She looked to her right and saw her father, her brother, and other wizards strewn about like rag dolls. She looked up and saw Yelan, Kero, Suppi, Yue, and Nakuru all floating and panting in the air, in obvious pain.
"You have caused us many problems Clowmistress." Unawa said. "I wish to offer you a proposal, becuase you see, I am a little more reasonable then my fallen brethren."
"What do you want?" Sakura asked
"You may come with me willingly,"Unawa said with a devious smirk, "Or you may watch me administer another dose of pain to your loved ones."
Sakura's face became serious, she had no choice, she could not allow her friends to suffer anymore than they already have.
"I will go with you" Sakura said pleadingly. "Just leave them alone, please."
Well, I received news that I shouldn't keep writing cliffhangers, but I decided to leave it at that. So what's gonna happen? Is Sakura gonna go with Unawa, or will the others save her from this bad decision. Just stay tuned and you might find out!!!
Don't forget to review and the next chapter might come out sooner!!
Syaoran: Don't you remember that he won't be with us for another four days??
Mr. Badguy87: No I don't!!
Sakura: But you did.
Mr. Badguy87: Kero get your gluttonous butt out here and start the disclaimer!!
