Chapter 13: V for Victory!
Sakura and Sayo arrived in that inn and were greeted by Syaoran. Sayo runs in and walks towards Sasuke and notice his eyes are back to its beautiful lavender color. Sayo smiled happily. It seems that eye color change Red when Sasuke is angry or feeling evil. It will change into Lavender when he is calm and normal. It reacts with his emotions and when he doesn't have emotions it will stay red.
"Your eyes is Lavender again" Sayo smiled happily.
"I hope it will stay this way. My past is useless to know. He is right. I should look to he future…the bright future" Sasuke reply
"Who is he?" asked Yue
"A voice. That helps us on our journey" said Sasuke looking at his 'fire' Symbol.
"That is the 'element'. Sayo you had one too didn't you?" asked Sakura.
"Yes, it is the wind," said Sayo showing her 'wind' symbol
Fire and Ice will fight again for wind said a voice only heard by Sayo.
"Sayo…is the chosen elementer," Syaoran said to himself. (Elementer has no meaning)
"Stop wasting time, tomorrow we will attack Kali," Yue said.
Everyone nodded looking at Yue.
"Anyway everyone can go to bed soon. Syaoran, I had something to tell you" Yue said again.
Sayo, Sakura and Sasuke went to bed upstairs. Sasuke couldn't sleep. He is wondering what will happen tomorrow morning. He also wonders what Syaoran and Yue are talking about. Slowly, he sneaked down and hides himself.
"It is the best for them" Said Syaoran
"I think so too. I don't think that boy and Sayo will be any help," said Yue, "but a burden"
"You are right. Sakura mustn't be in trouble too. Sayo t," said Syaoran
"We will leave by ourselves now while they are sleeping," said Yue.
"Right, I am ready when you are Yue"
"Let's go" Yue said as he walked out.
Syaoran and Yue went out. Sasuke was a little shock that Syaoran plan like that. It is risky that only both of them will fight Kali. Sasuke rushes up and called Sakura and Sayo up.
"SAYO! AUNT SAKURA!" Sasuke shouted.
"Wh-wh-wh-what?" asked Sayo tiredly
"YOUR FATHER AND YUE. They went out to fight KALI ALONE!" Sasuke shouted.
"Syaoran!" Sakura quickly awake, "We better go fast!"
"Yes mom" Sayo said still sleeping.
"…You guys can stay here for a while and I will go find them!" said Sasuke running out
"Be careful!"
Sasuke quickly rushes down and went outside. He takes out his sword but he is wondering how could he catch up. He couldn't run there it could take time. Sasuke closes his eyes and think for a while. Power of the hidden Phoenix of the Volcano Mountains. Said a voice.
"Phoenix, can fly couldn't they?' Sasuke asked himself, "Here goes... Power of the hidden Phoenix give me wings to fly"
Suddenly a pair of red wings appears out from Sasuke's back. It is burning yet it isn't hot. He gets ready and takes off. For the first time, Sasuke is flying with his strength. With his large wings, he is able to catch up with Yue and Syaoran. They saw him and they are quite angry but they ignore him. Behind them, Sakura and Sayo too catch up with the 'fly' card.
"SYAORAN!" Sakura shouted.
"Sakura…Err…" Syaoran turned back to see his wife.
Syaoran was a little angry but he couldn't blame them because they didn't want him or Yue to get hurt. They just ignore them and fly towards Kali Castle. Before Sunrise, they all reach Kali's castle and went in. They saw Kali there, waiting for their arrival.
"Ryo looks like you brought your friends here. I have been expecting you" said Kali
"Even though I was the killing puppet once. I am now Sasuke Minamoto"
"Hahaha1 you found back your memories. That great!" Kali laughed.
"I wonder where is your other peoples? Akane, Miyuki and Ayumi?" asked Yue coldly
"Dear Yue, they went out for destruction" Kali reply
"Forget about the small talk we are aiming for VICTORY!" shouted syaoran
Syaoran immediately dashes forward and attack Kali with his sword. Kali evade his attack but she has hit by Yue's moon magic. Sakura and Sayo too started the attack. Sakura summon the 'windy' and attacked Kali while Sayo used her wind ability. It combines and became a huge hurricane.
"HURRICANE!" shouted Sayo and Sakura commanding their wind magic.
It creates a huge hurricane but it doesn't really have any effect, as it isn't a useful attack. Sasuke, who is still not attacking summon his fire ability to combine with Sakura's and Sayo's attack.
"Phoenix of Fire, lend me your strength combine it with Sayo's attack," chanted Sasuke, "DARK FLAME HURRICANE"
With Sasuke's firepower, the attack became more effective and useful. Kali felt the burning spirit from Sasuke. He really desires to defeat her for himself. She smiled even though the attack was painful, she never cried or shouted. Yue and Syaoran behind continue attacking with their magic and strength. It is getting very hard for them to battle. It is because every time they attack, the wound heals back itself.
Kali aim for the weak point, Sakura and Sayo. She knows those three are the weak point for Syaoran. She used her darkness magic and turns it into a ball of fire and throws it towards Sayo. Then, she used the freeze magic and Sayo couldn't move and she just stands there. The fireball is getting nearer to Sayo she's so scared. She couldn't use her magic, as she whole body is freeze up.
"SAYO!" Sakura and Syaoran shouted as they turned back.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY" shouted Sasuke, who is rushing towards Sayo.
Sasuke managed to run to Sayo in time. He turned to the Fireball and try to stop it but failed. Sasuke blocked the fireball from hurting Sayo but he ends up hurting himself. The fireball hit his chest. It is very strong and Sasuke should be glad he survives it but he is hurt badly. His clothes were torn and his chest was burnt. No matter what, Kali will not be able to defeat Sasuke, as fire is his ability.
"SASUKE! Are you alright?" asked Sayo running towards Sasuke.
"Yeah…but that freeze…is gone?" asked Sasuke trying to stand up.
"Yes…Sasuke, I am so sorry…" Sayo said, as she started to weep
"Get those tears out and continue the battle," Sasuke said proudly.
Sayo quickly wipe off her tears and help Sasuke to stand up. Sakura and Syaoran was relief and continue the battle. Syaoran ordered Sakura to use the power card on him. She obeys it and uses it. It increases Syaoran's strength. Without hesitating anymore, Syaoran attack Kali on her hand. Sasuke, who is wounded looked around Kali and notice something glowing on her forehead. It is the same when Kali create the fireball.
"Sayo, her magic and ability is control by that crystal on her forehead," Sasuke told Sayo.
"Huh? Really? MOM! Her forehead is her weakness!" Sayo shouted.
"Good job, Sasuke and Sayo" said Sakura.
She quickly uses the 'Thunder' card hat Syaoran gives her. Then, she aims it at her forehead. It hit but it had no effect. Syaoran too heard what Sasuke said but he knows that it isn't easy to defeat her. Yue, Syaoran, Sakura and both Sayo and Sasuke get back and think of an attack.
"What should we do? Whatever we did take no effect on Kali," said Yue
"You are right. We can't keep it up too long," said Syaoran
"We couldn't give up now. We went to far to give up," Sakura said encouraging them.
"But mom…what can we do? We are not powerful enough," said Sayo sadly.
"There is a way but…it has big scarifies," said Sasuke
"What would that be?" Sayo and Sakura asked.
"Myself. I can turn myself into the killing puppet again and my power will increases"
"No, no, no" Sayo shakes her head, "You mustn't"
"My fire magic it is more powerful when I am the killing puppet" said Sasuke
"Shut up, Kid!" Yue said, "Everyone will survive"
"…I am going," said Sasuke running towards Kali
Sayo grabbed Sasuke's hand and said no but Sasuke pulled his hands away. He runs towards Kali and jumped. Yue told them to leave, as the killing puppet is uncontrollable. They all escaped but not Sayo. She stayed there.
"Power of the killing puppet" Sasuke chanted, "GIVE ME YOUR STRENGTH"
With that a glow of light cover the scene again. Sasuke slashes Kali and she finally felt the pain. Sasuke landed on the ground. His eyes are burning red; his eyes also show no emotions. Sayo looked in amazement but without she knowing Sakura has dragged her away. Sasuke or now the killing puppet stared at Kali. With no emotions, he raise up his sword and a blazing fire appear around him.
"EXPLOSIVE DRAGON FLAMES," Sasuke shouted, as he slashes Kali on her forehead.
The attack was so powerful that the whole castle collapses down. Kali too died. The killing puppet is unstoppable. Its power has no limits and no one will defeat him. Sayo and the rest, who is outside saw the castle collapse. Sayo started to weep wondering what happen to her friend. They went nearer to the collapse building and looked around.
"Sasuke…is he…" Sayo started to weep.
"No sweetie, Sasuke will be fine. You will see," said Sakura
"Yea… I am sure he is okay" said Yue
"How do you know?" asked Sayo
"…I sense a strong power…" Yue replied
"I agree with you, Yue" Syaoran said
Then, they heard something moved. They turned back and saw a shadowy figure of someone. They saw Sasuke with his eyes close. Sayo wanted to get closer to him but Syaoran blocked her.
"DAD!" Sayo said, "Let me talk to him"
"He might still be the killing puppet," Yue said.
Sasuke open his eyes and said, "I never knew I could do this. Ha! It's wonderful to kill that girl"
"SASUKE, your eyes are lavender. You are alright," said Sayo running towards Sasuke.
"Of course, Sayo" Sasuke smiled.
Sayo run towards Sasuke and hugged him with joy. Sasuke blushes. Sakura smiled and Syaoran felt uneasy and a little angry. How dare he hug my daughter Thought Syaoran. Yue didn't show emotions but he still wonders who seal the killing puppet and who unseal it. It is impossible for a youngster like him to do it. It's weird yet Yue still think Clow reed is alive somewhere out there.
