Chapter X: Tower of Isis

"Sakura-san! Touya-kun!" Fujitaka embraced his children.

"Otosan!" Sakura happily embraced back. "It's so good to see you again!"

"I thought you were in Cairo." Touya smiled slightly.

"Well, Thebes has more interesting finds." He replied. "You've grown, Sakura-san."

Sakura blushed. "Thank you."

"Come'on ." Touya frowned. "What are you doing in Thebes?"

Fujitaka sighed. "For some reason I was compelled to come here." He messed Sakura's hair. "I guess Fate wants me to find something so you can, Sakura-san."

Sakura smile fell. "I guess."

"So these are your friends, the old and the new, I see."

Sakura's companions greeted him and those who Fujitaka still haven't met, introduced themselves.

"Looks like the Team is steadily growing." Fujitaka smiled. "So, I guess you're all here because of a certain structure?"

Sakura nodded. "A very powerful item is inside! We must destroy it!"

"We will be doing it tonight." Remus told him.

"Very well. Just make sure that my students won't get hurt."

"Thanks Dad." Sakura smiled, gratefully.

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

"Key that holds the power of the Evening Star, Reveal your true form to me!" Sakura summoned. "I, Sakura, command you under our contract! Release!"

Sakura took out a card. "Sleep! Let all of my Father's students go into slumber!"

"Wonderful!" Tomoyo smiled, as she filmed Sakura. She had made her friend wear something she called a 'Modern Ancient Egyptian Costume'.

It was white linen with gold embroideries at the edges. It has two slits at the side and Sakura was wearing a Gold skirt and black leggings underneath. And waterproof.

"We'll keep guard here." Eriol told her.

Sakura nodded. She, together with Syaoran, her two guardians, Remus and Tua, ran to the edge of the river.

"Bubble!" Sakura had them enclosed in a bubble and they all descended through the river's murky depths.

After a few minutes, they saw something ahead.

"It's almost midnight, go!" Remus pushed Sakura out of the bubble. As he did so, another bubble surrounded Sakura's head.

Sakura swam towards the building, until she saw her symbol, the exact symbol she has been using since she received the power of the Evening Star.

"Ten more seconds." Remus said, his voice, deeper underwater,

Sakura tried to swim faster.

Nine.

Sakura stretched her arm.

Eight.

Sakura strained to go faster.

Seven.

"You could do it!" Syaoran silently prayed.

Six.

Tua closed her eyes in prayer.

Five.

"I believe in you." Yue found himself thinking.

Four.

"Hurry!" Remus yelled.

Three.

"Sakura!" Kero yelled.

Two.

"For Rhea-chan!" Sakura reached the symbol

One.

The second Sakura touched the symbol, a burst of light surrounded her and her other companions. They were thrown off the water.

"Sakura!" Syaoran quickly caught her as they landed on the shore.

"Aaah. I want the Cherry flavor, thanks." Kero said, dizzily.

"Tua?" Remus asked her, who seem to have landed in her feet.

"I'm fine." She answered.

"Everything Alright?" Their other friend were running to them.

"Yes." Sakura answered. "Thanks." She smiled gratefully at Syaoran who smiled back.

"Look!" Yue pointed at the river.

Pieces of rubble were shooting out of the water and were assembling themselves, creating a huge and tall tower.

"The Tower of Isis." Eriol said.

"The Orb must be inside!" Sakura ran ahead.

"Wait!" Syaoran quickly followed her, closely tailed by Remus and Tua.

"Hey!" Kero and Yue tried to follow but a invisible shield pushed them away.

"Kero-chan!" Sakura tried to return but Tua held her back.

"Only those of the past can enter this sacred temple!" Tua told her.

"But why can Remus-san-?"

"I am the reincarnation of her brother Rames!" Remus interrupted.

Sakura looked worriedly at her guardian. "Wait for us, Kero-chan!" She said before they started running up the tower.

"Good luck, Sakura!" Kero shouted.

"Now, what will we do?" Meiling crossed her arms.

"Wait, and believe." Tomoyo smiled. "Like we always do."

"Well not his time!" They heard a woman's voice behind them.

Three cloaked figures, suddenly appeared.

"Dark Veil." Eriol muttered.

"Hiiragizawa, Eriol." The speaker, a woman, took her cloak off. "Clow Reed's copy."

The other two also took off their cloaks. One was Shadow, the one who attacked them last Christmas. The other was Kaining.

"Hu!" Eriol grasped his wand tightly. "I was wondering when we'd see you again."

Kaining just glared, and at the split of a second, he raced to the opening of the tower.

"Stop!" Fei immediately grabbed Kaining's cloak and they both crashed inside the Tower.

"How did they get in?!" Kero asked, annoyed.

"Maybe they are reincarnations too." Tomoyo answered.

"Hu was a slave of the Pharaoh 3000 years ago." The woman sneered. "But I don't know about the boy. But never mind that, you have other things to think about."

Shadow immediately blocked the other direction.

"I am Crease, by the way." The woman smiled, slyly. "I will be your opponent."

Author's notes:

I want to thank Avelyn Lauren and Sakurablosson16 for their reviews and I also want to apologize to Avelyn Lauren for not answering your previous question about the Hyskos.

Well, since the story was based from ancient Egyptian settings, I had to give them ancient Egyptian Enemies and the Hyskos were the primary enemies during the New Kingdom. Since history is a bit fuzzy on how the Egyptians defeated the Hyskos after centuries of enslavement, I made my own version that it was because of a newfound source of power (the Celestial Orb), and I thought that the Hyskos would not like to take that defeat too easily, so they might have started a new war, this time being defeated again by the power of the orb. Furthermore, I think the Hyskos are very powerful warriors and worthy opponents in ancient times.

So, thanks for the reviews and I hope you like the new chapter. Arigatou.
