blah blah blah
Last Chapter: Sakura had her star wand out, Eriol had unleashed his sun staff and Syaoran was in the process of unleashing his sword. 'There's dark magic coming from there but I can't pinpoint it. It's like it's coming from everywhere.' No matter what they attacked it with, the water pillars kept coming. Not even the Sakura cards could hold up against it. Within seconds they were surrounded by a powerful, dark, unnamableforce. It was using water to attack them with and kept them inside of a circle, the outline that kept them in divided where they could or could not move. Walls of water trapped them. They were surrounded.
This Chapter:
The situation was getting worse. The water pillars were getting more and more violent and harder to dodge. The fact that no matter what they were throwing at it, it could dodge, or reflect it easily, wasn't helping either.
"We've got to do something! Nothing seems to work on it and it just keeps getting bigger and more powerful!" Eriol shouted over the violent winds that were beginning to make them lose their footing.
"What can we do? No matter whatever I throw at it, it just absorbs or reflects 10 times stronger at me! My element scrolls aren't powerful enough!" Syaoran yelled back. 'Yang I need you right now!' he thought desperately.
"Syaoran's right. Whenever I use a star card that could help it dodges. All I can do is go into defense!" Sakura answered back dodging another pillar as it cam dangerously close.
"I don't know but if we don't do something, Tomoyo will get caught in a pillar and most likely drown!" Eriol replied as best as he could before being tripped by the wind.
"It's like one of those tests you gave Sakura when the Clow cards were running out of magic," Tomoyo said joining into the conversation while running out of the line of attack that the pillar was using.
"You guys the walls are beginning to close in on us!" Syaoran yelled so they could here him over all the noise. Pausing for a few seconds they looked around to notice it was true; the circle that they were forced to battle in was closing in. If it kept going there would be no chance of dodging the pillars anymore.
"Maybe if you go high enough you can go over the walls," Eriol suggested as he used some of his magic to protect himself and Tomoyo from the pillars chasing them around.
"I tried it already," Sakura answered back. "It's like the maze card. The walls will get higher so you can't go over them." It wasn't looking good. Magic or not they were still human. They were panicking from the idea of being closed in and not being able to evade anymore. If they could get over their panic they were getting tired as well. Eriol and Sakura were getting very tired from all the magic they were using. Only Syaoran was able keep fighting but his sword wasn't good against water and his element scrolls couldn't help.
Tomoyo couldn't stand anymore. She wasn't built to evade and run too long and had already gone 110% of her limit. It felt as if she would throw up any minute now.
"Tomoyo! Get up! There's a pillar behind you!" Eriol yelled as he watched the girl he loved fall to the ground from exhaustion. He tried to protect her from it with his magic but he was too tired to get it there in time. All he could do was watch. 'We need help to beat this thing' he thought as his conscience began too slip from all the energy he had used. When they thought that nothing could help them. A fully transformed Kero-chan came through the water wall and grabbed Tomoyo and Eriol before the pillars after them could catch them.
"Are you guys all right?" he asked while putting Tomoyo and Eriol into a riding position.
"Forget us. What about Tomoyo and Eriol? How are they?" Sakura asked running over as the storm let off for a bit. How long they didn't know since the water walls were still up. They kept their guard up just in case.
"By the looks of it. They're still conscience but barely," Kero answered as he got them both to hold on as tight as they could.
"How did you get here Kero? How did you find me?" Sakura asked as Syaoran walked over regaining as much lost strength as possible.
"When you didn't come home after school Touya sent me to look for you. When I came a few blocks away from your school I could sense dark magic and knew you had to be in trouble so I transformed and came as quick as possible. It was easier to get in here. All I did was go through the wall," Kero replied. "I suggest we do what the tough do when the going gets tough, and save this battle until another day."
"We tried to run already Kero! The water walls refuse to let us out. The only way we didn't try was digging under it but we can't do that. There isn't enough time!" Sakura exclaimed.
"You mean that I'm trapped into this thing to now?" Kero asked, eyeing the gigantic walls that had ceased closing in for the time being.
"Ya. There's also another thing. The walls were starting to close in before you charged through them,"Syaoran told Kero joining into the conversation.
"Maybe if I charge hard enough I'll be able to get through again?" Kero suggested, trying to lighten his mistress's spirit.
"You can try but it wouldn't let any of us through, so there's a good chance of you not getting through either," Sakura spoke a little doubtfully. As soon as the words escaped her mouth Kero charged at the walls with all his might, only to end up bouncing back from an invisible force. Getting up he got ready to throw his strongest fireball towards the center of the intimidating, dark cloud that hung over head.
"Kero don't do that," Syaoran yelled desperately in an attempt to stop him but it was too late. The fireball was heading head on into the cloud. For a moment nothing happened. It was like the fireball had worked and both Sakura and Syaoran let out relieved sighs. Only a moment. A few minutes later the cloud rained fireballs, even stronger than the one that Kero had shot into it. Thinking quickly Sakura took out one of her star cards raised it in the air and struck it shouting,
"Shield. Protect us from the fireballs coming down on us! Release and dispel!" A shimmering sheet raised above them, stretching until it filled the circle above. Fireball after fireball struck the shield lessening in number until only a few left. Unfortunately shield could not hold on much longer and as the first came down it shattered causing a rain of glimmering glass like material until it disappeared and returned to it's card.
The last two fireballs came down hard and fast causing a big dent into the ground as they pounded into it exploding slightly. Kero had shielded them all with his wings and had received dangerous burns from the blow.
"Is everyone alright?" Sakura asked. She got no motion from Eriol and Tomoyo but they looked all right so she knew they were fine. Syaoran gave her a thumbs up so that only left Kero.
"Now I know not to do that again," he muttered under his breath. Inspecting the singed wings carefully as to not hurt Kero even more. She told him he needed some sort of a burn cream and medical attention. "Don't worry Sakura. I draw power from the sun. These burns still hurt but are not as major as if you were to be burned like this.
As a relieved look fell onto her face the rain began again while the water walls closed in. Gradually getting harder the rain seemed as though it was trying to shoot the down. Than the pillars came once more. All the group members were too weak to fight back this time. Tomoyo and Eriol were still doing their best to not become unconscious, Kero was tired from the magic he was using to heal his burns, Syaoran wasn't that bad but he couldn't do much to help and Sakura was tired from the magic she was using to evade.
One by one pillars grabbed at the group members. First was Tomoyo. The pillar got her from behind and everyone else hadn't been fast enough to rescue her. The water had dragged her to the middle where she was unconscious, though they could all tell she would need air sooner or later. Eriol was next, while he was trying to rescue Tomoyo. He too slipped into unconsciousness while using his last bit of strength to defend him. Kero came after Eriol, while defending Sakura from a particularly large pillar. Syaoran had defended both him and Sakura but a bunch of pillars had ambushed them. Pushing Sakura away he was brought down.
And then there was one. Sakura was trying to fend off the multiple pillars without using magic to keep her strength while trying to think of a way to save her friends. That was how she was caught. Sakura isn't the multi-task type. As the four people and one guardian beast tried to escape and hang on, the water pressure increased.
They were going to drown if something didn't happen soon. Sakura tried calling on her cards but nothing happened. They were trapped and they were going to drown. As they spent the last few minutes suffocating, they thought of all the things they should have done. When all hope had been drained of the five they were beginning to lose the last of their conscious...
"Fire! Evaporate the pillars and save my friends!" A voice called out loud and clear. Everyone's eyes snapped open to turn to the new magic user, including Eriol and Tomoyo who had managed to regain their consciousness. Syaoran, who had also turned his head, smiled thinking, 'It's about time Yang.'
As they turned they saw a girl in the shadow her hair and robes flowing in the wind, holding a card and a staff. When she was done shouting her command, a figure came from the card. Standing tall and proud was a teenage girl. Pointy cat ears on her head that burned like mini fires. She was wearing a bright red fighting kimono, and her long red hair was let loose. Her fiery red eyes were narrowed towards the dark cloud controlling the pillars.
Quick as lightning she ran towards the pillars, the trail behind her set ablaze so it looked as if her feet had a fire at the back. Running in a spiral up the pillars the water evaporated and each person was set free of their watery death. Catching a person as they fell to the ground the girl placed them gently on the ground before setting off for the next pillar.
One by one the five were released and were once again on solid ground, dry from the fire.
"Who is that gir-"Tomoyo began to ask but was cut off as their mysterious savior called out another command.
"Fire! Attack the middle of the storm!" Fire jumped up the quickly evaporating walls to attack the middle. Holding up another card Fire's mistress take out another card and shouted, "Thunder! Help fire defeat this storm!" As she finished a new figure came out. This time it was a boy. He had the same cat ears as the last but they were spikier and had static coming off of it from time to time. His hair was spiky and a pale yellow and had the same kind of blue static going through it. As a matter of fact, the static ran up and down his body but he didn't seem to notice. He had a deeper yellow fighting kimono and deep yellow eyes.
Like fire, he listened and jumped right into the cloud. There was nothing at first, just silence that Sakura used to say, "It doesn't work! It just comes back down even more powerful!"
The girl smiled and said, "Not these ones! Don't worry. It'll be under control soon." Sakura had to wonder whom this girl thought she was when not even the Sakura cards could handle it. There was also something about her voice that was oddly familiar... Sakura's thought was interrupted as a loud cry was emitted from the middle of the storm. In seconds, the clouds disappeared and fire and thunder could be seen holding down a creature that looked like watery but fiercer, much bigger and more powerful.
Now that the sun was able to shed some light the five turned to look at who had been strong enough to save them. To everyone but Syaoran's surprise it was Yelan! Yelan wasn't paying attention to their shocked expressions and was staring at the creature that thunder and fire were easily keeping at bay.
Raising her staff high into the crisp air she shouted loudly, "Dark Watery, I Ying of the ying/yang cards command you to return to your card form now! Dark Watery!" As soon as she said that the creature known as "Dark Watery" looked terrified and was sent into a bubble of water and when the bubble popped was a card with a midnight black back, the Clow symbol in gold and the word "DARK" in jagged blood red letters. On the front there was a picture of Dark Watery being defeated with a smaller picture of thunder in the bottom right had corner and a picture of fire in the top left corner.
Floating in midair it came towards Yelan and stopped just in front of her. Gently taking the card she ran over to where Sakura and the others, except for Syaoran who was smiling, stood with dumbfounded expressions.
"Jeez, Yang!I almost thought you wouldn't come and I would have come back in a ghost form to yell at you," Syaoran said smiling.
"Mou, you know I would come sooner or later. Your way too impatient," Yelan complained with a smile as well.
"Could someone please tell me what's going on?" Kero asked. The others nodded their heads in agreement.
"Well, this is a dark card," Syaoran began pointing to the card in Yelan's hand. "Those are ying/yang cards," Syaoran continued, pointing to thunder and fire that were standing quietly behind Yelan waiting for a new command. "And this," Syaoran finished pointing to Yelan.
"I'm his twin sister," Yelan finished for him.
blah blah blah
