~The Untold Story~
Chapter 12
Syaoran rolled his eyes at the yellow 'stuffed animal'.
"What are you talking about Kero-chan?" asked Tomoyo, cautiously.
"Well, you heard him didn't you?! He said 'the next transformation is beginning'...Duh! What do you think that means?!"
Everyone thought for a moment...But no one seemed to understand what Kero was getting at.
"What's 'the next transformation' supposed to be?" asked Eric curiously.
Kero sighed, *Sigh* (^-^')
"That's a good question, kid, I'll let you know when I've figured it out!"
Everyone sweat-drops. (-_-')
"Well, Kero-chan, how are we supposed to prepare for 'the next transformation' if we don't know what it is, where it is, or when it's coming?!" asked an exasperated Sakura.
Kero placed his paw on his forehead.
"Like I said to the brat, I'll let you know when I figure it out...."
Eric shot him a menacing look. O_o
"I'm NOT a brat....stuffed animal..." said Eric as he crossed his arms over his chest.
Kero rolled his beady, little eyes.
"Anyway, you could either wait for me to figure it out, wait for 'the next transformation', whatever that is, or you could look for a way out of here and Eriol for an answer. Choose whatever suits ya'."

Guess who! It's the Shadowy Figure!!!...
"Good, my time is almost here....Then I can test the weak powers of that annoying little group that keeps interfering with my evil plans..." said the S.F. (aka Shadowy Figure).
"And my disguise is perfect...no one will ever know who I REALLY am...Bwahahahahaha!!"
Just then, the laughing ceased.
*Hmm, mustn't be too loud or the brats may hear me and come sooner than expected...*
"I should probably get a move on and begin this.... Morpheus! Are you ready yet?!"
Just as they yelled (AN: the S.F.), a little black leopard pounced into the S.F's chamber.
"Yes master, I'm ready, let's go knock these losers off!!" he said, running playfully into a wall as if attacking something.
The figure sighed, *Sigh* (^-^')
*Why was I cursed with such a stupid companion??* they thought, slapping the little black form, which was still running into the wall.
"How about you change into the more frightening form before we leave...Then you'll at least look intimidating."
The black feline thought for a moment then jumped up happily.
"Ok master! Here goes nothing!"
Morpheus closed his little black eyes as midnight blue wings surrounded him.
When the transformation was complete, there stood an enormous, full sized leopard with midnight blue wings and dark, firey eyes.
"Good, that's much better. C'mon, let's go put the annoyances to rest Morpheus.
"Yes master," said Morpheus, as he quickly bowed his head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'The Next Transformation'...
The ground violently shook as the two beings entered from the dark realm into the world.
No one knew what was happening, except Kero.
"THIS IS IT! THIS IS 'THE NEXT TRANSFORMATION'!!" he cried over the loud, abrupt crashing of falling cement and high-pitched screaming.
"KERO-CHAN! TRANSFORM INTO CEROBEROS, NOW!!" cried Sakura as she held on tightly to Syaoran and Misty.
Kero quickly nodded his head and closed his eyes as his massive, white wings encircled his being.
Just then, Meiling spotted someone through the rising dust clouds.
"MIKA!!!!!!!!" she cried as she ran to her ragged-looking daughter.
"Oh, h-h-hi, Mom..." she managed to spit out before collapsing into her mother's arms.
Eric saw his mother opposite of where everyone else was and ran over to investigate.
"Mom, what are you doing over...." he trailed off. "Is that....M-Mika?!" he cried in disbelief.
Meiling looked over at her confused son with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, Eric...This bruised and battered young woman is your sister..." she said, trying as hard as possible to restrain her tears.
Eric hugged his mother and sister tightly; This was his only family, he couldn't stand around and watch them suffer.
He quickly released his embrace on the two women and rose to his feet.
He suddenly became extremely angry and took off to where the rest of the group was getting ready to fight.
"Eric! Where are you going?!" shouted Meiling hastily.
But Eric ignored her and ran on; he refused to allow his family to be treated like this and was hungry for revenge.
He suddenly halted next to Misty, who was nervously clutching the 'Star Rod', which she hadn't put down since she had received it. (weirdo O_o)
Misty glanced over at him, sensing something was wrong...His aura was a bright red...Why was he angry? (AN: I'm assuming that red means angry, and if not, it does now ^^') Did he know something about this transformation thing that no one else did?
She almost asked when she spotted Meiling holding someone...A girl...
Finally, she realized who it was and knew why Eric was so angry.
It was Mika, all battered and bruised; her clothes torn in every which way possible.
She smiled at Eric's determination as she averted her glance back to the beginning battle.
As she did so, a huge mass of earth rose from the tiled floor of the mall. (AN: Never thought the mall could be this exciting, did you?) Everyone assumed their battle stances and prepared to have one fierce and tough battle.
As they took their places, the two beings who had caused all this chaos rose from the ground and came to halt next to the large plank of earth.
"Hey....Who are they?!" shouted Meiling pointing in the direction of the two beings.
Eric narrowed his evergreen eyes.
"They're the ones responsible..." he said to himself, as his expression grew angrier.
Misty sensed him getting even angrier and looked in his direction to see him fiercely looking at the individuals. She got a tad worried about what he'd do, so she walked over to try and clam him down a bit.
"Eric...A-Are you...Ok?" she asked cautiously, as not to get too much of a rise out of him.
Eric quickly turned in Misty's direction, his eyes still narrowed and full of hatred.
Misty cringed at the look in his eyes. Even though she'd only known him for about a week, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would let their anger take control of them that easily. Misty took a deep breath and asked him again,
"I said, are you Ok?"
Eric's face softened a little when he looked into Misty's eyes...Was that worry?! Was she worried about him!
Misty frowned at the no response and tried again.
"Hello? Anyone home?" she said, waving her hands in front of his face.
Eric immediately snapped out of his eye gazing and back to reality.
"Huh? Oh, Sorry....Did you say something?" he asked, a little confused.
Misty sweat-dropped. (-_-')
*Sigh* (^-^') "Ok, for the 100th time: are you Ok?"
"Uh, yeah I'm fine...why?" he responded scratching his head full of chestnut locks.
Misty raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not that stupid, Eric, why are you angry? And what's up with the look towards those...guys...Oh no! We forgot about the battle! AH! C'mon!! Let's kick some major demon butt!" she concluded, smiling wickedly.
Eric smiled back.
"C'mon, we'll continue this conversation later," he said jogging up next to Ceroberos, with Misty following behind.
"Where have you two been?! We've needed you! C'mon! You're lucky nothing's happened yet," said Ceroberos, as he nudged them both up next to Syaoran and Sakura.
The S.F. smirked when they saw the two teens in the front of the group of, so-called, "losers".
Eric's rage began to take over him again, but Misty quickly snapped him out of it with a slap on the back of his head.
She smiled.
"It's for your own good."
"Hm, hm, hm...." laughed the S.F.
They turned their attention back to the beings in front of them.
"What's so funny?!" shouted Eric angrily.
The S.F. smirked.
"Why, this child's play, of course...You all are pathetic...I could probably kill you all with out using magic at all..." responded the cloaked being. (AN: look, I'd say whether it's he/she, but to tell u the truth, I don't know who I'm making it yet, so bear with me, please!! ^^')
"What are you talking about?! You can't beat ALL of us...You're just one...erm....person!" shouted Eric, dauntlessly. (--- AN: I like that word ^^')
The S.F. smirked once more, but said nothing in response to the boy's "weak" comeback.
"Who are you anyway?" asked Misty, curiously.
The figure held their smile and slowly removed their hooded cloak revealing Touya Kinomoto.
Sakura's mouth dropped to the floor.
"TOUYA?!?! What the heck are YOU doing here??!!" she shouted, exasperatedly.
'Touya' smirked again.
"Hello Sakura...Long time, no see...How's it been little sister?"
Sakura continued to stare wide eyed at Touya. There was NO WAY this was her loving, over protective brother Touya Kinomoto! He'd never resort to hurting the ones he loved for the sake of pure enjoyment! This had to be someone disguised as him. Sakura promised herself that she wouldn't let the looks of this evil being interfere with this bitter battle 'til the end.
Syaoran glanced at Sakura who was still gaping at 'Touya' being here and now, looking and acting the way he was. He closely examined 'Touya's' features and noticed something odd. On the lower right side of his neck, there was a mark: it was a little demonic face with evil, squinting eyes and large horns emerging from the head.
Syaoran squinted his eyes slightly, trying to get a closer look at the writing under the picture, but he couldn't make it out very well. The only word he could read was "fire".
Suddenly, his eyes widened; this was a demon! He had come all the way from the dark realm just to battle the group....But why?
*What could he want?* he thought as he looked around the group of people. Suddenly, he halted at Misty and Eric. Whoever this demon was, they were after Misty and Eric's magic...they wanted the 'Sakura Cards' for themselves and wanted Their powers to obtain them.
*NO! He'll never take away Misty...or Eric! I won't stand for it! We've got to stop this thing....but, how?*
Sakura was now finished with the gaping and thinking and was focused on 'Touya' when she noticed that not only was he not doing anything, but he was looking in the direction of Misty and Eric. What could he want with them?! They're just kids....kids with magical powers, but none the less just kids...
She suddenly gasped as she came to realize what he wanted. (AN: we've been through this, so I won't write it again, k ^^)
Then she spotted Syaoran looking, not only deep in thought, but angry as well.
"Syaoran," she whispered, "What's wrong with you?"
"....." no response.
Sakura frowned and became slightly annoyed. So she jabbed Syaoran in the side with her elbow.
"Ouch!" he let out, "What was that for?!"
Sakura smiled, happy to finally have his attention.
"I asked you a question," pretending he remembered it, or even heard it.
"Uh, Ok, what's the question?" he sarcastically replied.
"I asked you what was wrong with you...so, what was?" she asked, crossing her arms.
Syaoran thought of a response.
"I think I know a way to stop him Sakura...but I'm gonna need everyone's help, got it?"
