Fai wasted no time in putting his idea into action, if he did, it would have been too late. He ran to the watch tower, snatched the rope and pulled it down. He tied one end around his right wrist, and the other around an arrow. He worked with such a look of serious determination on his face that none of the other archers questioned his actions that is, until he strung the arrow.

"What are you doing!"

"Are you crazy!"

"Some have called me that," Came Fai's reply, "Hold on, Mokona." The little creature buried itself deeper into Fai's shirt, and the mage then aimed and shot the arrow.

It whistled through the air, and Fai was beginning to think that the rope wasn't going to reach, when the tail flicked back, causing the arrow to hit it. There were two spikes on the tail, and the arrow had hit the one furthest away, ricocheted off of that and wrapped around the second spike, forming a rather clever knot.

Fai then placed his bow on his left arm and grabbed the rope, bracing his left arm and grabbed the rope, bracing himself for the pull, which came all too hard, and Fai prayed that his arms wouldn't be pulled off.

Despite the angry shouts from the archers, Fai was pulled off the remains of the castle roof, and dragged through the air. He ignored the growing pain in his arms and the rope cutting through his gloves. He had to make sure that Sakura stayed safe. He couldn't live with himself if she got hurt and he could have prevented it.

Kurogane had just annihilated another dragon when he heard the crash from the castle.

"Hime!" Syaoran shouted, his eyes wide when he saw the dragon escaping with Sakura and Kurdra's princess. He watched the two flying cats try to fight the dragon, but that was like a mosquito to a human: annoying but not much you can do about it. Syaoran's eyes then caught sight of a blonde-haired man at the edge of the roof.

"Dammit!" Kurogane cures, "What the hell is he doing!" The ninja's loud voice caused others to turn and watch Fai, even the dragons watched, that is until Fai had been pulled off the roof and was flying through the air on the end of a rope. That was when hell broke loose again. The dragons attacked again, and Kurogane and Syaoran tore their eyes from their companions only to defeat a pair of dragons that had descended on them.

Syaoran looked up from his dragon to see that Kurogane was gone, "Kurogane-san!" He shouted worriedly until he felt someone on horseback grab him by the arm and pull him onto the still moving horse.

"Hold on." Kurogane growled, and Syaoran obliged easily as the two of them darted after Fai, Sakura and the dragons. "Damn wizard. We had enough to worry about with the princess but he had to go and recklessly throw himself into the mix!" Kurogane continued on like that as they charged forth, Shouhei cutting down any foe that got in the way.

"Kurogane-san!" Syaoran shouted.

"Now's really not the time kid," came the annoyed reply.

"No! Look!" Syaoran pointed up, and the ninja couldn't help but gasp at what he saw.
