"Sun and moon, forces of opposition, I call upon thee. Evil, good, dark, light, come forth. Elements, come forth. Open the porthole to the world of oppositions. Eastern Magic, Western Magic, unite now. Open now, porthole!" the six recited. Again they were immediately thrown into Suka's world.
"Welcome, pathetic fools. You just don't give up! I find this very entertaining. Soon we can make a show on your coming to and escaping my wonderful dark world. Well, no matter. What small little surprises have you got for me this time?" Suka smiled. He was sitting on his throne. It was in the middle of his world, and the chair was very elaborate. The carvings were of some other language, and the pictures that were carved on were absolutely magnificent. Beside him was a similar chair. It too, had carvings on it. On it sat a beautiful lady in a gorgeous silver dress. "Oh, and this is Meika, everyone! Say hello!" Suka smiled when he noticed that Syaoran was practically drooling when he saw Meika.
"You give her back!" he shouted.
"Me?! But I belong to Suka and his world," Meika stated.
"It's no use," Kero reminded Syaoran. He transformed into Cerberus and stood in the front of the six. "And it's also no use to fight us, Suka. Give up or lose," Cerberus said in his deep loud voice.
"Lose? That's what all of you are going to end up with. Or wait, not lose. Hm…can't think of the world. Was it…oh yeah, death?" Suka said, giving the last word a stinging bite to it.
"Suka, why are you doing this to us?" Meinan cried out. She was the only one out of the six that hoped and hoped and wished and wished that Suka would become good again. "Come back to us!"
"Ha, you? You all are pathetic fools, you and the rest of the world. They waste their time caring for people who don't care back. They waste their time making fun of those who shouldn't be made fun of. Ha! You and your people. No, I'm a new person now. I'm not all of you. In my world, we don't waste our times caring for others or making fun of others. We get right to the important part. Work. Work is the only thing that will get any of us anywhere. Forget about caring and loving. Work lets us take over the world. The world! I could teach them about work. I can make them all my slaves," Suka grinned
"But Suka! Work isn't everything! People don't waste time on caring for others. It's the nice part about being humans. Of course making fun of people is the evil side of us, but work isn't everything! Come back! Come back!!!" Meinan cried out again. Tears were streaking out of her eyes. She couldn't believe all this was coming out of Suka's mouth.
"Enough of your nonsense!" Suka shouted impatiently.
"Come back! Come back. Come…back?" Meinan said, fading away. Suddenly a giant golden-flamed sphere struck her. It just came out of thin air.
"Yes, thank you. By now you should know that my powers have increased because of the help from the Clow Cards. True Meika still controls them, but some of their powers have also transferred into mine. You six don't have a chance!" Suka laughed. He continued laughing as the five circled around Meinan. He laughed as he watched Eriol and Cerberus try to heal Meinan. He laughed as he watched the five realize that Meinan was gone forever.
"Where's Meilin?" Syaoran suddenly shouted.
"Why do you suddenly care about her? Aren't you Sakura Sakura Sakura all day? Isn't that why Meilin decided to join me?" Suka questioned.
"You're wrong!" Syaoran said, though he knew it was true and was ashamed of it.
"Syaoran, don't drift into the dark side!" Eriol said, shaking Syaoran. His eyes had become partially glazed.
"What have I done? What have I done?" Syaoran repeated. He cupped his face in his hands. His eyes, now fully glazed, showed guilt and regret.
"Syaoran, don't!" a voice suddenly screamed out in Syaoran's head. "Syaoran Li! Remember what Wei had said? It's all a trick! I'm OK! It's not your fault! Don't give in!" the voice screamed out again. Suddenly Syaoran shook his head and was back to normal. He felt foolish falling into such a trick, but felt confident again after looking at all the confident eyes looking back at him.
"Argh, how can this happen?!" Suka screamed.
"Because it's one of the easiest dark tricks. I'm not that easily tricked, Suka. Now where's Meilin? I just heard her a second ago!" Syaoran shouted.
"So she was the one telling you, huh? Guess I'll have to treat her more rough this time," Suka sighed. He took something out of his pocket and threw it into the fire. A sharp scream immediately followed. Suka then grabbed the thing and threw it onto the ground. Another scream followed that.
"Ah! Did you hear that?" Syaoran asked the others, covering his own ears. The others looked at him, perplexed.
"Syaoran, maybe we should go back. There were no sounds anywhere," Tomoyo whispered in his ears.
"No, Meilin was screaming. I'm sure of it!" Syaoran said. The others looked at each other and shrugged.
"Look at you fools. Wasting your time talking. This was what I was talking about. Humans waste their time. We magical people just work. You all aren't even attacking me, though it wouldn't make a difference anyways."
"Fire!" Cerberus shouted, blowing fire out of his mouth. Suka laughed and blasted something at Cerberus. He was knocked out and transformed back into the smaller form.
"Pathetic pathetic," Suka said. He was about to attack Eriol when the sound of something hitting something else was made.
"Suka dear, this is enough," Meika said. She had taken her hand and had pounded it onto the armrest of her chair. "Why don't you let that Meilin girl go? If that's all they want, then let them. She is no use for us. Just don't hurt that cute little stuffed animal, OK?"
"Can I hurt the others then?" Suka grinned.
"Well…" Meika drifted off. She looked at Tomoyo, and then at Syaoran, and then at Eriol. "Can't we let one of them stay? I know work means a lot here, but we do have breaks occasionally. During those breaks I can teach one of them our way. They could be one of us, can't they? Plus, I need more company," Meika pleaded.
"You don't understand! They will never be one of us!" Suka said in frustration. He was surprised that Meika was talking about having breaks. They never had any breaks unless it was to eat, sleep, or wait for the pathetic fools. Who has time to teach when it's time to eat? Meika looked sad and slouched down into her chair. She muttered something in her mouth, and suddenly Meilin appeared. "Meika, what'd you do that for?" Suka shouted as he saw Syaoran hug Meilin.
"Well, if I can't have company, at least non-magic humans can. I just can't stand seeing people away from their loved ones," Meika said, letting her thoughts drift out.
"Loved ones? Who taught you that phrase? I told you never to say that unless it's for an evil cause!" Suka scolded.
"I, I, I don't know!" Meika stuttered. She was both ashamed and proud of what she did.
"Why you," Suka started. Meika and he immediately started a fight.
"Meilin! Was it you that saved me?" Syaoran asked. He was so happy that Meilin was with them again.
"Yes, it was. Did you hear me?" Meilin asked. She had forgiven Syaoran and swore never to pursue Syaoran again.
"Yes, just me though. And the screaming. The thing Suka threw into the fire. A voodoo doll? On you? Poor you! I can't believe this!" Syaoran said, hugging his cousin again.
"Yeah, but I suddenly just appeared here, and all the pain and wounds were suddenly healed! How so?"
"It was Sakura's magic. I caught some of the words she was saying. Something about bringing you here and healing you and destroying the doll," Eriol said. He was holding Kero and was trying to heal him.
"Is it working?" Tomoyo asked.
"Thank god Kero has some magic in him," Eriol said. Kero's limp figure suddenly started to move. His eyes slowly fluttered open.
"Haha, and Kero is back again! Are there any cakes to eat?" Kero asked, suddenly shooting up into the sky. He then realized where he was and flew back down again. "Oops, I forgot," Kero said softly, "but since they're fighting, let's sneak up on them."
"So much for the plan," Tomoyo shrugged. She looked at Meinan's body sadly and shook her head. "She didn't deserve that. We are going to get revenge!" Her eyes filled with new hope and confidence. Meilin looked at Meinan's body and also shook her head. She was going to get personal revenge on Suka. As the remaining five crept up to Suka, Suka and Meika were still fighting.
"I know it's always work and work, but just sometimes, Suka! Just sometimes! Take Sakura and Syaoran for example. Sakura was a card mistress just like me and Syaoran helps her catch the cards. She and he had to work, but they still had time to do other stuff. It's not just all work, Suka!" Meika shouted back.
"Syaoran? Sakura? Where'd you hear that from?" Suka demanded.
"Why, from a book I read some time ago. I think. I don't really know. It seems so vague and yet so…so…so recent," Meika said awkwardly.
"This can't be happening! Not again!" Suka shouted. He quickly grabbed for the Clow Book, but found that the five were already guarding it and smiling.
"Now you know that the evil never wins," Meilin laughed. She gave Suka a couple quick punches in the eyes and nose so the he couldn't see very clearly.
"Ah! No! Without eye contact I can't attack!" Suka thought, panicking.
"Don't do this to Suka! He is a really great guy, really!" Meika shouted.
"Sakura, it's me, Syaoran!" Syaoran cried out.
"And me, Tomoyo!" Tomoyo said.
"And don't you remember me, Kero?" Kero said, almost as if he was afraid that if Sakura didn't get back to normal, he wouldn't have any pudding to eat.
"And your ex-rival, Meilin!" Meilin smiled.
"And me, Clow Reed's descendent, Eriol. You can't forget me!" Eriol said. He muttered something quickly, closing his eyes and concentrating hard.
"I remember!" Sakura smiled, hugging everyone. "Now it's time to get this evil guy," she said, turning back to Suka, who was covering his eyes with his hands.
"Argh! How can this be happening? My plan was perfect? How can it be ruined?" Suka screamed.
"You will never be able to erase one's memory completely if they're unwilling," Eriol said, remembering that he read that somewhere.
"Slaves, come out and destroy them!" Suka shouted as loud as he could. Suddenly the whole place was full of the little short servants and the recruitments that Suka had. They advanced, eyes dark with evil and smiles as evil as the devil himself.
"It won't work, Suka. My powers are stronger than ever. You will not win!" Sakura willed. She used her time card to stop time, and together she and the other five took turns to destroy Suka. Suka, receiving the final kick from Meilin (because of her personal revenge), suddenly burst into ashes. When Sakura called back the time card, she quickly fainted, having used a great amount of her power. The servants and the recruitments disappeared, and Suka's world started to fade. The very edges of the world turned dark, and the darkness began to swallow everything up.
"Quickly, we must leave this place before it disappears entirely. If it does and we're still in here, then we'll disappear with it too!" Kero said urgently. "If only Sakura was awake right now. Suka probably told her about how to get out of the wretched world."
"Meinan may have known too. Now what should we do?" Eriol asked. He fell into deep thought while the others tried to wake Sakura up. "We might as well try the spell we used when coming in, except saying 'close now, porthole'. Now everyone, hold hands."
Everyone closed their eyes and repeated the spell. "Sun and moon, forces of opposition, I call upon thee. Evil, good, dark, light, come forth. Elements, come forth. Open the porthole to the world of oppositions. Eastern Magic, Western Magic, unite now. Close now, porthole!" They opened their eyes, but nothing worked.
"The elders!" Meilin suddenly said with excitement. "The elders!" she repeated. "When I was researching about how to enter the world, I consulted the elders after consulting Syaoran's mom. They said that I may need to know about a tree. It's different from the other trees. It's the only tree that's next to the brainwash lake that's actually growing healthily. We must go into it and there are words around the inside of the tree. We must decipher them and then recite them."
"That's a lot of work," Syaoran sighed. They quickly ran to the brainwashing lake and almost immediately located the tree. They walked into it and saw many strange writings carved on the inside of the tree.
"It would help if we actually knew what these words meant," Tomoyo said. She peeked outside and saw that the darkness was coming closer. "I'm glad Suka's world is big," she thought. Suddenly Sakura started to stir.
"Sakura! We need your help!" Eriol quickly said. He brought Sakura up to a standing position so that she could read the strange language.
"Yeah, Suka taught me this. It says, 'Are you friend or foe? Why would you want to leave this world? If you insist, then please don't resist. The pull will be strong, and then you'll be gone. I want to leave this wonderful yet treacherous world. Something has happened, so please, open, real world porthole!" After reciting this, the six were pulled violently into Eriol's house.
"Wow," Syaoran gasped at the sudden change of scenery. When he finally recovered from his daze, he hugged Sakura and Meilin. "It's good to have you back again, Sakura."
"It's good to be back," Sakura said, smiling. She looked deep into her love's eyes, appreciating how it looked. She then looked at everyone and smiled again. "Boy do I miss it here. Gosh, I even miss Touya."
"And I miss Hong Kong," Meilin said. "I'll leave tomorrow I guess. After all, my ticket is both ways."
"I'll miss you," Tomoyo said. "You have proved to us again to be very helpful."
"And you're always following your heart," Eriol said. "I must admit I'll miss you too."
"And so will I, kid," Kero said. "But as for now, let's celebrate this returning with some cake!!!" Everyone smiled at this, and while the group sat happily in their house, a shadow loomed outside the house, watching the group ever so carefully.
Yes yes, and so ends (or not…review and tell me if you want it to end or not!!!) my masterpiece. OK, fine, it's not a masterpiece. In fact, it's quite corny and dorky. Well, sorry about the dorkiness of this story. Well, thanks so much for reading! Please review! You've already done the hard part, so all you have to do is type in some comments and tell me if the story should end here. Thanks for sticking with me throughout the story! Bye!
