Chapter Fourteen: The Last Obstacle
Syaoran and the others walked along quietly in the forest. He looked all over, not wanting to be ambushed. Suddenly Soy squeaked in happiness. They all turned to look at him. " What is it Soy?" asked Li. The others nodded waiting for a response.
" Well, if you haven't already noticed it by now then you must be blind." Soy stated crossing his furry little arms and poking his nose in the air. A smug look on his little bunny face (Cute!!!!!). Risk shook his head; Li and Syaoran looked at each other in confusion. Soy threw up his arms, " Good grief! We are here! We are at the Structure! Look through those bushes!" Syaoran and the other two did as he told them. Sure enough, there stood the structure. They had gotten so close to it and the trees became so dense that they had lost sight of it long ago. Syaoran smiled happily at the thought that he was almost back in his world. He was almost back with Sakura.
" So, Soy, tell me, is there anything that I should know about before we head on?" Syaoran asked him quietly. Soy thought for a moment.
" Oh yeah, rumor had it that this structure is guarded by the fiercest emotion of all. More then that I do not know. Sorry friend." He stated and bowed his head.
" That's quite alright Soy, really, now Syaoran won't go charging head first into something that could get him killed." Said Li smiling. Rick just stood there with a confused look on his face (doesn't talk much huh?).
" Well, we might as well have a plan of action right?" Syaoran looked towards the Structure, trying in vain to pin point their enemy.
~ Sakura's Room ~
Sakura awoke with a strange light glowing in her eyes. She looked down only to see the necklace that Syaoran had given her was shining with renewed power. She smiled in happiness. 'He's alive!!!!!' She screamed in her mind. Sakura dared not speak this aloud; for fear that Jerith would hear her and go to finish Syaoran off once and for all. Suddenly, she heard a small shuffle in a dark corner of the room. " Who's there?" she asked timidly, afraid that it was Jerith, and low and behold (guess what people!) he emerged from the shadows slowly with an evil smile on his face. Sakura backed away as much as she could on the bed and cowered against the headboard.
" Now, now my dear, no need to fear me. It is your lover boy that needs to fear. However, I still don't know how he was able to survive the punishment I gave him. Oh well, I guess I'll just go kill him now. After that, my dear, we shall be married." He laughed and disappeared into darkness. Sakura buried her head in her hands and began to cry. 'Please Syaoran, hurry, where ever you are, he's coming for you.'
~ In front of the Structure ~
" Please Syaoran, hurry, wherever you are, he's coming for you." the small group stopped in their tracks.
" What was that?" exclaimed Rick. Syaoran frowned.
" It was Sakura. She's warning me.that Jerith's coming to kill my body!!!" Realization struck him like a lightning bolt and he took off running towards the huge stone structure.
" Wait!!! Syaoran!! What about the plan!" Li yelled after him, hurrying to catch up.
" Screw the plan! If I don't hurry, all of this will be for nothing! I'll be dead!!!!" He screamed back at them. Drawing his sword to confront what ever was out there.
Li and the others stopped and watched him go. " What does he mean, 'I'll be dead.'" He asked, voicing the others confusion at Syaoran's statement.
~ A Cell in the Castle ~
Syaoran's body frowned slightly and his muscles tightened ready for battle.
~ The Structure ~
Syaoran stopped in front of a huge stone doorway carved from the rock itself. Suddenly, the ground shook and rumbled they were all thrown to the floor. Sayoran looked up only to see Jerith standing right in front of him. He jumped up and held his sword at the ready. Jerith smiled wickedly and a bright light flashed, there in front of him, laid a un-conscience Sakura. Sayoran tried to call to her. But Jerith stopped him with a small chuckle. " What is so funny?" Syaoran spat at him.
" She's un-conscience, can't you see that? Well, I see you wish to get past me and to the Structure behind me correct?" He said smirking. Sayoran just growled in response. Jerith laughed again. " Face me if you can! For I! Am Fear itself!" He yelled out and suddenly charged at Syaoran. Sayoran brought up his sword and blocked Jeriths attack. They struggled for dominance, each pushing the other.
" Oh no, that's Fear, this is not going to be good." Soy whispered. The other two turned towards him.
" What do you mean Soy?" Li asked, not liking the way Soy had said that.
" Well, you see, Fear had the power to show Syaoran what he well fears the most above all. That alone could be enough to destroy him if he doesn't have enough will power to withstand it." They all watched the immense struggle going on before them.
" No.he'll win.I'm sure of it.He has the only power that can defeat evil. He has the light of love burning strongly inside of him. He will win." Li stated. Showing that he believed in Syaoran. The others all nodded and continued watching.
" Give up boy! You can't win!" Jerith sneered at Syaoran. But Syaoran just kept on bushing back. They were locked together with their swords. " It's useless!"
" Shut-up! I will win! Because unlike you," Syaoran glanced at Sakura's body, " I have something to fight for!!!!!!!!!" Syaoran screamed and with a giant thrust with strength not even he knew he had, he pushed back Jerith and stabbed him right through the gut. Jerith stumbled back a bit.
" No, I can't die like this!" he yelled as Syaoran approached him to deliver the final blow. Jerith held up his hands.
" This is for Sakura!!!!" Syaoran yelled and was about to bring down his sword to slice Jerith, fear, in half when everything went black. He stopped in mid swing. " What the hell is going on!!!!" He yelled. Suddenly, he saw Sakura up in front of him. She smiled and began to run towards him. Then, Jerith appeared behind her and stabbed her right through her chest. She fell right in front of Syaoran. He watched all this with wide eyes. He couldn't believe it. She was dead. Syaoran fell to his knees and cried out in anguish. Meanwhile, outside of the illusion, Syaoran's companions watched him fall as it took him.
" No!!! Syaoran!! Fight it!! Fight him!!!! You have to fight him!!!! Think of Sakura!!!!" Li screamed, trying his best to reach his friend.
~ Syaoran's Cell ~
Jerith walked into the cell and noticed that Syaoran's entire body was tensed. 'So he is alive' Jerith smirked. He drew out his sword and readied it for the final blow.
~ The Structure ~
" Why you!" Syaoran jumped up and to Jeriths surprise, he slashed at him and broke through the illusion. Jerith stumbled back and screamed in pain. He fell to the floor and dissolved right there.
" It's over, it's all over. I have to go now." Syaoran said looking back to all his friends.
" We'll miss you.but remember, we will always be with you." Li tapped his forehead. Syaoran nodded in understanding. He sheathed his sword and walked to the huge doors. Slowly pushing on them, they swung open for him. He gave one last wave to his comrades and ran into the light.
~ Syaoran's cell ~
Jerith swung down on Syaoran's body. Intent on finally killing him. Suddenly, Syaoran moved with such speed that Jerith hadn't seen it, and blocked the attack. " What!!!!!!" Jerith exclaimed. Syaroan smirked in satisfaction.
" I'm back."
