:Pain:
Bam. Meiling's uppercut had blocked the oncoming attack. She got pissed. In a rage, she kicked the left side of the slide, hard. All her power in that single kick ripped the slide off of the penguin and flew like a bullet. The beat up slide slammed against one of the trees that surrounded the playground. The tree broke in half. Meiling stood there, huffing and puffing, with her fists to her side.
"Bitch! Hell no!" Meiling yelled out, running towards the penguin.
The figures came at Syaoran. He stood his ground, using his sword. Meiling went straight towards the big penguin. The figurines also went to her, but using the back of her hand, swung her arms, hitting them like nothing in all directions. She got close and jumped high into the sky all the way to the top of the penguin's head. She threw a punch at the very core of its head. As her punched landed, large and long cracks were formed. She landed on top of the beak, the part that held the slide together and she whacked the crown causing it, like the slide, to fly across the place, smashing another tree down.
"Argh! Take that and that!" she said as she continued on punching its head down to nothing.
She jumped back to the ground and went for the body. Meiling ran around it, hitting it, each punch, decimating it to nothingness. The penguin was filled with huge cracks, holes that were fist shaped and more cracks all around. Syaoran continued on slashing. It seemed that the figures were all coming to him now, flying around in circles and surrounding him. Meiling laid the finishing blow in front of the penguin, where the yellow characters glowed.
"Take that you bastard!" she said as she punched it squarely in the middle.
It cracked and the whole thing fell apart like a building being demolished. The big statue of a penguin had become a heap of rubble and metal, becoming nothing. As it collapsed, the figures had stopped flying and floating and all went to the ground also. All that was left was a mess of chaos and standing on top of it like champions that were on top of the world were two people, exhausted and sore.
"It's over…" Syaoran said as he panted, leaning against his sword that was struck in the rubble.
"What…the hell…was that…all about?" Meiling said, panting as she fell down on the rubble.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you later, after we get some sleep. Come on, let's go." He said.
He took out his sword and pulled Meiling up, grabbing her by the arm. They both walked away from the pile and on to his house.
"What are we gonna do about the mess?" she asked, still panting and rubbing her sore hands.
"Uh I don't know." He laughed. "Let's just leave before someone knows."
Just then they heard a loud noise and turned around to see what was happening. The leftover figurines floated up again. The figurines all combined together, stacked on top of each other forming something. They all came together to form a twelve foot penguin. Instead of wings on the sides as a regular penguin, it was a pair of arms. It roared into the night. The house lights went on throughout the neighborhood and car alarms went off.
"Damn it!" she yelled out. "What the hell!"
The huge penguin walked over to the shattered tree that was struck by the slide. It picked up the slide, crushing the end of it and held it in its right hand, brandishing it like a sword.
"You got any plans?" Syaoran said, as he looking up at the seemingly tall behemoth.
"Nope, I was hoping you would have one." She said, patting him on the back.
"Heheheh…Come on, let's beat the crap out of it." He said holding up his sword.
They both slowly staggered in the direction to where it was. The penguin swung the slide at them and they dodged the attack. Quickly, Meiling ran up the right arm as it was still down on the ground from the attack. She ran up all the way to its shoulders and jumped off, kicking at the head. As she kicked it, she managed to knock off a couple of figures.
"BOO YAH!" she yelled out.
Meiling landed next to Syaoran and the big penguin took another swing at them. Luckily, even after being tired from the previous bout, they managed to elude it once again. But something was rather unusual about the penguin. In the middle of its body, something was glowing.
"I think that's it right there." Meiling said, pointing at the center.
She ran in front of it and jumped and punched it. She managed to land a couple of hits. It swung at Meiling who was still in the air, coming back to the ground. She managed to block it with her arms, but still got damaged. She flew across the area to the top of the trees, hitting branches and sticks in her way. She fell down to the ground scratched, bruised and bleeding. Her sweater was filled with opened redden slits of various sizes, small to exceptionally large.
"Crap…" she muttered, as she tried to get up.
"Are you ok!" he yelled at her.
"Ugh…I'll be ok. Go…" She said.
He nodded and went straight for the legs and sliced them, only to do not a whole lot of damage as he expected he would. Syaoran then backed away from the penguin as it was coming towards him. As he backed away, he looked at Meiling, who was struggling to get up and continue fighting. Suddenly he tripped over a rock and fell over on his back. He scrambled to get back up and saw that it was holding the slide over his head. He stood in fear, wondering if this was it. Just then, thoughts of Sakura came to his head, thoughts of her, and the things that they did together, the memories that would be left behind if he died right there.
"No." he said, standing still. "I will not end it like this…not until she knows..."
He took out a piece of paper and threw it in the air. Quickly, he shifted his sword in front of him, sideways, and pressed it against the paper that was falling. At the same time, the penguin's slide was coming down on Syaoran. "God of Thunder!" he yelled out.
Large bolts of lighting came out of the middle of the paper, hitting the right shoulder of the penguin. It pierced the shoulder like it was being skewered by an arrow. It erupted, having the whole arm coming off, causing it to fall apart altogether, right next to Syaoran. The impact of the fallen arm was big, like it shook the world, but he didn't even flinch from it. It was like nothing could stop him, like he was renewed. Thoughts of Sakura still filled his head and walked forward to the penguin with his sword in his hand. He still had a chance.
