Chapter 14: Power snatchers attack and the final bout
"Come on Yelan pick up, onegai, pick up," Sakura said as she held the phone to her ear as Syaoran let Yukito, Touya, Kura, Shinji and Alara. Wolf and Mia sat in the sunroom with Sakura as she tried once again. "Iie, Iie, Iie doushite will no one pick up," Sakura said her hands shaking as she put the phone down.
"Calm down Sakura, try phoning Meilin, we'll get through this," Syaoran said wrapping his arms around her to rub her swollen belly in an attempt to calm her down. Sakura took a deep breath before picking up the phone once more and dialling Meilin's number. "Hello Meilin here," Meilin's voice came through the other end.
"Oh arigato kami sama, Meilin yokatta I got a hold of you,"
"Sakura is something wrong? You sound like you've seen a ghost,"
"Iie Meilin we have a very big problem. I can't get in touch with Yelan or the elders, could you go over and check on them. I was talking to Eriol and I think he was attacked. I have a bad feeling,"
"Nani?"
"I think the Power Snatchers have just made their first move," Sakura finished.
Meilin drove down the drive way to the front door of the Li mansion. She remembered how Sakura had told her that unless she saw the family alive and well, to leave the house immediately and take the first flight to Japan. "Aunt Yelan, Mistress Sora, Master Torold, Master Jing, Fanren, Kai. Any one here?" Meilin's voice echoed through the house. When she came to the lounge an awful sight met her eyes. The whole family and the elders lay on the lounge floor unconscious. Meilin made an attempt to wake them up but nothing would work. "If there is anything a miss in the house get out," Sakura's words echoed in Meilin's head as she ran from the house jumping into her car a racing to the airport. About 6 hours later she arrived at Sakura and Syaoran's home. It was deadly quiet and the lights inside the house were off. The door stood ajar when she arrived. The house was a mess; draws had been ransacked, cabinet doors where open, chairs had been overturned and curtains had been pulled from their poles. Then she saw what she had hoped she would not. Sakura, Syaoran, Shinji, Alara, Kura, Touya and Yukito were all out cold on the living room floor. There was no sign of Nade, Wolf or Mia. "Nade, Lang, Mia kids is anyone here?" Meilin half shouted, half whispered.
"Aunt Meilin," a low voice whispered back from the hallway. Meilin recognised it as Nade's. "Nade, are you alright love, come on out, where are you," Meilin said standing in the hallway. She then saw the hall closet open and Nade slowly emerged before rushing into Meilin's arms. "Nade, what happened here? Where are Lang and Mia?" Meilin questioned while Nade sobbed into her sweater.
"I... I heard a th..thump when I was up stairs so I came down to s..see nani it w..was. O...otousan was trying to s...stop some man from g...getting to Okkasan. O...otousan saw me and t...told me to hide and not c..come out." Nade sobbed trying to speak through her tears. "I... don't know where Mia and Wolf are!" she added after a moment and a small low moan sounded from the living room. Meilin and Nade made their way back into the room to see Sakura and the rest beginning to wake up. Syaoran had his hand on Sakura's stomach checking their unborn child. "Oh Nade arigato kami sama your alright," Sakura said as Nade joined herself and Syaoran on the floor. "Wolf and Mia are gone Sakura, they must have gotten away," Meilin said looking around the wreaked living room.
"Yeah you're right and I bet the power snatchers went after them. Nade we need you to try and find your brother," Sakura said putting a hand on Nade's shoulder.
"Demo I can't do magic okkasan you know I can't," Nade replied tears once more brimming in her eyes. Syaoran also put a hand on her other shoulder and said, " Nade look at me." His voice was low and steady, "you can do this, just because you couldn't make your own cards does not mean you have no magic it just means you haven't found your special talent yet. Now all you have to do is sense for Wolf and trust in yourself."
'Oke, okkasan and otousan believe in me. so I have to start believing in myself. Now where are you, you chibi gaki,' Nade thought closing her eyes.
Next thing the three of them knew they were behind a hedge near the outskirts of the town. Peering over it they all saw something that bought Nade's heart to her mouth. Mia lay on the ground next to a tree while a few feet in front of her Wolf was crouched clutching the sides of his head, covering his ears as if he was trying to block an offending noise.
"Nade we need you to go and get help. Go to your grandmothers, uncle Eriol's and back to our house and get everyone who can help. We are going to need everyone in on this," Syaoran said in a serious tone. Nade nodded in a confident way and was back within 15 minutes with everyone that she could think of. "That's great hun now can you go and get Mia," Sakura said and no sooner were the words out of her mouth that Nade returned the teen limp in her arms.
"Mia, Mia wake up sweetie, Nade how much energy do you have left?"
"I've got plenty of energy 'kkasan, I don't think I've ever felt this alive,"
"Good, Nade give me your hand, I'm going to transfer some of your energy to Mia," Sakura finished taking Nade's hand in one hand and placing the other on Mia's chest. Mia's eyes flew open and she sat up with a start looking around her. "Wolf, Sakura, where is Wolf?" she asked panic showing clearly in her sapphire eyes.
"He's over there Mia. Nani happened?" Sakura replied as Mia watched Wolf kneeling on the floor. "They caught up with us about 10 minutes after we left the house, Wolf tried to hold them off demo they distracted him somehow with clones or something. They were able to drain most of my magic before Wolf knocked them off me. They then started on Wolf and I tried to stop them, they through me against that tree. Just before I passed out I saw him fall to the ground holding his head," Mia explained her eyes going wide when she heard Wolf yell. "Wolf, Nade onegai can you get me over there. I need to help him."
"Mia san I'm afraid there is nothing we can do, before I was attacked I read that power snatchers are impossible to defeat," Eriol said deep concern in his voice.
"Please Eriol san I know it seems impossible demo let me at least try," Mia pleaded before she and Nade disappeared.
Wolf's Mind
"Weak"
"Love, look where's your love's got you now"
"You're pathetic"
"Iie leave me alone you temes, I know that's not true," Wolf yelled back
"Wolf kun, Wolf come back Wolf. Aishiteru Wolf,"
"Mia chan," Wolf whispered feeling Mia's arms wrap around him from behind. He smiled as her warm aura and comforting voice drowned out the voices.
back to reality
"Mia chan," Wolf said opening his eyes.
"Daijobu Wolf kun, we can do this," Mia said
"Hai we can," Wolf said and turned his attention to his family.
"Nade get everyone over here," he yelled waving to Nade.
"Hai, chotto matte ototo kun," Nade yelled back and everyone was teleported across to stand by Wolf's side.
"Oke minna san I want everyone to hold hands. Adults right side of me, teens left side," Wolf said and they all did just that. As they all joined hands they formed the shape of an arrow head with Wolf at the tip. As soon as the last person got into their place Wolf began to chant,
"Love is the bond that we all share,
family and friends face us if you dare,
for no longer can you make us cower
love is no weakness, it gives only power."
Soon the whole group was chanting it and as they did so every one of them had energy come swirling out of them in their own aura's signature colour. The swirl of energy weaved its way around their arms and made its way to Wolf. In front of him a giant golden sphere had begun to form and it grew bigger the more energy that arrived. then with one last burst Wolf shouted, "Power!" finishing off the spell and throwing his hands forward sent the energy ball toward the power snatchers. The Power snatchers yelled when they saw the ball and also threw their hands forward to stop it from hitting them.
Wolf watched in horror as they held the ball at bay. 'Iie not now, that should have worked, I've got to do something, I won't let the people I care about die,' Wolf thought before turning to Mia to look at her. She looked scared and she had tightened her grip on his hand. With that he made up his mind. He quickly pecked Sakura on the cheek and pulling Mia into a chaste yet passionate kiss said "Aishiteru Mia chan". With that he let both of their hands go and forming another energy ball in his hand he ran towards the ball of light. Next minute he disappeared into the light, the ball exploded and Mia screamed.
