Poison and Pizza
"Hey Yulie, we're going to have a pizza party after school at Madison's. Dou you want to go?" asked Sakura.
"I'd love to, but only if it's all right with Mia," as he said this both young teens looked at the young woman pleadingly.
"I don't see any reason why you can't go. Sakura, when is the party and how would I get there?" asked Mia.
"It's at five-thirty," answered Sakura as she wrote down the instructions for finding Madison's home.
Later at the party
"Look at those two," laughed Madison as Yulie and Kero were having an all out war of 'Mortal Kombat'.
"There is no way you're better than me twerp!" yelled Kero as his character, Scorpion, just got K.O.ed by Yulie's character, Kitana.
"Wanna bet? I've learned from the best."
"Oh yeah? Well next round I'm Subzero!"
"Then you're gonna meet me as Rayden!"
Sakura and Li were quite shocked that someone could actually match Kero in his video game frenzy.
Suddenly Yulie dropped his controller, "Did you feel that?"
"Uh huh," said Sakura.
"It must be a medallion," said Li. With that the young teens left, with only Madison pausing to grab her camera.
Soon they reached the location of the medallion, the Marina.
"We already have Water, what could be here?" asked Sakura.
"Water's not the only power to use water as its source," stated Yulie.
"Oh no, I had hoped we would have Light before we encountered this," said Dae as a dark sickly green fluid began to seep out of the tanks of water. It formed into an elf like spirit with snake like eyes. It held a katana in each hand and on either hip were two more katanas. All six blades dripped with the same sickly fluid.
"Venom," stated Sapphire.
The spirit of the Katanas of Venom challenged Li. Thinking fast he called forth the Katana of Fire and proceeded to do battle with the spirit.
"Li! You'll never beat him with that weapon!" cried Yulie, and his statement seemed true enough since the spirit appeared to only be playing with him.
"What do you mean?" asked Li as he narrowly avoided being struck by the deadly katana.
"Fire is weak against Venom, Venom is weak against Water," he answered, and then he transformed his wand.
"Oh, key of the Elements
Raging Fire, Foaming Sea
Endless Light, Eternal Darkness
Surrender your power now to me
Release"
Then he threw the medallion of water into the air, aimed his wand at it and chanted:
"Wand of the Elements
Answer to me
Yari of the Gentle Waves
Release her powers to me
Water"
"Here use this!" he shouted as he tossed the yari to Li. Li caught it with ease and slid the katana of fire to Sakura and Yulie as he continued his fight. The fight began to shift in Li's favor and soon he bested the spirit. Now that the danger was over Li and Yulie called back their weapons. The new medallion went to Li. It was the same sickly green as the venom and it was oily to the touch. Embossed on it were six katanas and the word venom.
"We were lucky, anything living cut by those swords is infected by a deadly poison. Only the No-
Datchi of Light could have healed those wounds," stated Sapphire.
"Glad I wasn't cut," said Li as he realized just how much danger he had been in.
"But now that Li possesses the medallion he should be able to control the level of their poison. In fact he should be able to use them to produce antitoxins as well," said Yulie reasoning that if Sehkmet could do this with his venom that Li should as well.
"He's right," remarked Eli, "Not many know that. How did you know that Yulie?"
"Yes, and how did you know that Venom gained its power from water?" added Sapphire.
"And that Fire is weak against Venom, and Venom is weak against Water?" added Spinal.
"I'd rather not say. If I can't tell those I am closet to about the medallions then I have no right to share their secrets with you, even though I count you all among my friends," he replied.
"Fine, I'll let you off the hook this time, but sooner or later I will get my answers," said Sapphire.
"Never thought I'd see the day she was confused about anything," Kero whispered with a smirk on his face.
"C'mon, let's get back to the party," said Sakura.
"I'm so gonna kick your butt on the next round! I'm gonna use Reptile!" said Kero to Yulie.
"Oh yeah! Well then you'll have to suffer with me as Jade!" retorted Yulie.
"Does anyone else find this scary?" asked Madison.
"Yes, I never thought I'd see the day someone would be able to match Kero in a video game," laughed Sakura.
