from chapter 17

It took all the way to early evening for the guardians to get back. Suppi and Phoenix arrived first. "Ours stayed green once we had reached the bottom of the hill then stayed yellow the rest of the trip," said Phoenix. "When we hit the forest it went completely out until we got back into town," said Suppi handing the crystal back to Eriol. "Thanks," he said and put it back around his neck. Rose and Ruby came back next with the same results. It took longer for Kero and Yue but the answer was one of good and bad. "The crystal turned red over the middle of the ocean," said Kero. Yue cut in before anyone could say anything. "Not bright red but just red. We believe that the crystal is located somewhere deep in the Mira Ocean," he said. At this everyone gasped. Some how they were going to have to go deep into the Mira to search for one of the unstable crystals of all.

on with chapter 18

"Well that puts a light on the situation," said Ryu. "I don't know about you guys but we can't breath underwater," said Koji. "I have a slight advantage with my main power being that of water," said Melin. "Yea but we are talking maybe thousands of feet down," said Ling. Melin pouted. "It's not your fault you can't turn into a fish Melin," said Simon. "Now that would solve all our problems," said Tomoyo. The group sat and thought of ideas for two hours straight. "What can go under water?" asked Haruna. "Fish is the only thing in this world and fish like beings that were ruled imaginary," said Jakita. "In our world there are submarines but that can't help. They sat a while longer when Sakura's eyes lit up. "What?" asked Syaoran. Eriol read her mind before she could even speak and quickly lifted the girl off her feet spent her around in the air before hugging her tight. "I have the smartest half daughter in any realm," he said still smiling. "WHAT," demanded everyone as Syaoran still fumed at the way Eriol had handled his fiancée. Eriol held up a finger to calm them down before snapping them and making a very thick book appear. Koji then went to his side seeing the book. "Now there is a legend here and it goes like this," he said and began to read.

Deep in the ocean of Mira there is an ancient culture that were rumored to be descendents of those of Atlantis except one detail. Those of Atlantis were humans with the power to breath under water. These people were those of fish and humans. They looked of both, spoke to both, and could be either with their cultures power. They would sometime become human to come unto the land to find mates. They would also save those ship wrecked and bring them to their home. A fair and just king rules them.

Everyone absorbed this. Sakura looked around. "Don't you get it they are mermaids and the crystal is down there somewhere in their land," said Sakura. Eriol looked and nodded to them that this was the same idea he had. "So that doesn't help us," said Ryu. Sakura smiled. "It helps more then you think. Lets go to the beach," said Sakura. "But it dark," said Kimari. "That's even better," said Eriol. They quickly made their way to the beach where they looked out unto the ocean. The crystals glowed a bright orange. Sakura began to transform her staff.

O power of my star

know my plight

release the weapon to give off light

in the name of Sakura

Release....

As soon as she did there was a rumbling sound coming from the ocean. "Sakura?" Kimari asked. "Not me," she said holding her wand closer. Everyone else released their's as well.

Simon released his bow and arrow. The bow was a polished tan with matching arrows with silver points.

Jakita transformed her mirror. It was light blue back with an eye carved into it. At the moment it showed no reflection.

The sea began to shift and the waves rolled higher and higher. "It's a tidal wave," yelled Sakura over the roaring waves. "What are we going to do?" asked Kimari. "We have to stop it," said Syaoran. "Its big enough to destroy the whole town," said Ryu. "I'll put a shield up to try and protect most of the coast," said Sakura. Syaoran looked at her. The coast stretched for miles it would probably leave her very weakened. "I'll use my mirror to help reflect the water back where it came from," said Jakita. Syaoran nodded for them to get to work. Sakura called her card.

Shield Card

Protect the coastal home and shops

Release...

Looking hear at what I see

Reflect the disaster that could be

Chanted Jakita thrusting her mirror forward from behind the shield with Sakura reflecting the on coming waves. Everyone else sprouted wings and too to the air. "Melin see if you can push the water back with your power" yelled Syaoran as he watched the waves begin to pound at the shield and be reflected. He could feel Sakura's power slowly waning with each blow. "Tomoyo make a forest of plants to suck up as much water as possible," said Eriol. He glanced back at Sakura and Jakita as their power levels took another hit. Sakura was at the place of bracing her feet deep into the sand. Jakita was pushing the mirror with almost full strength. "Simon use your wind arrows to push the ocean back with Melin. Kimari make a deep trench," said Ryu. "Haruna you and I will give them boosts of energy," said Koji.

The group continued to hold the water back but all of them were weakening all of a sudden a figure emerged from the water. He lifted a spear and calmed the water once he was onto the beach then began to droop. Sakura and Jakita fainted Koji and Haruna had just enough energy to land and call back their wings. Kimari neatly and weakly filled her trench. Eriol and Syaoran called back the various cards they had used. Syaoran ran over to Sakura and picked her up and going to the rest of the group as did Simon when he calmed the winds.

They gathered around the stranger. "Greetings I am King Rin from the Kingdom of Mira," he said. Everyone nodded still weakened. "What exactly was that?" asked Koji. "It is a reaction from a unknown object that is embedded in my Kingdom," he said as he gaze shifted to Sakura and Jakita mainly Sakura. "It is my fault that the tidal wave emerged. I should have been powerful enough to stop it before it got to the shore but it reacts to the use of power the more power the more destructive the force," he said. "That's why it emerged when Sakura released her staff," said Eriol. "Just think of the havoc if both Sakura and Syaoran released their staffs together like they do most of the time," said Koji. "I'm sorry," came Sakura's weak voice. Syaoran held her closer. "It's not your fault you didn't know," he said. Rin stepped closer Syaoran just sent him a glare. "It is ok My Lady, but we don't have much time to waste. You must all find a way to come if you are to capture this thing that keeps reeking havoc in my kingdom" said Rin. Everyone looked surprised. "How...how did you know?" asked Tomoyo. "You will understand once we get there," he said. Sakura stood on her own now. "We have to use the Shape Changing Crystal to turn into mermaids," said Sakura. Everyone looked at her. "That was her idea before the wave hit," said Eriol. Everyone nodded. The group quickly made their way to the deepest part of the water in which they could still stand. Rin swam a little ways into the ocean. Ryu, Kimari, Jakita, Simon, Koji and Haruna stood in a circle then Melin, Ling, Tomoyo, Eriol, Syaoran and Sakura stood in a circle around them then began a chant.

Crystal of Change you we call

Your help is needed of us all

Clow Crystal we have found

Spread your power all around

Release...

At once a bright light emerged and enveloped the group. When they light dimmed they all were under water. They all looked the same to the waist except that the girls now wore tight fitting tank tops and the guys wore their chest bare. Their tops were the color of their aura. From their bellybuttons down they all had a silver fish tail. "Kawaii," squealed Tomoyo. Everyone else just sweatdropped. "Come it is time I returned to my kingdom," said Rin as he began to swim down. Syaoran noticed the farther down they went the brighter the crystals became.

At what seemed like forever the water became lighter. "Is it just me or is it getting lighter?" asked Haruna. "It is," said Rin. "I take it that your kingdom has electricity," said Koji. "We have to keep up with the times that is another reason that we send people to the surface," said Rin. "So your kingdom has all the necessities of the rest of the realm?" asked Eriol. Rin nodded. "Cool I get to check out all of the fashions of the Kingdom of Mira," said Tomoyo. Melin sweat dropped. "Tomoyo we have to find a way to free the people from the powers of the crystal," she said. "Then can we check out the fashions?" asked Haruna. "You to are more like twins then Clow Reed said," said Jakita. Kimari nodded in agreement. "We're getting close," said Sakura glancing at Syaoran's crystal. Everyone looked at the bright red crystal. "Come we have arrived," said Rin as they went around a mountain. Everyone gasped as they came nearer and nearer to a bright brilliant city covered in a magical bubble.
