Purple fire, edged in black came streaming at Sakura. Thanks to quick reflexes from cheerleading and her adventures from before, Sakura dodged out of the way, only to be hit by a huge energy ball. She slammed painfully into a tree trunk and slid down its rough wood to land as the base of the tree in a sprawled heap. "Sakura!" Lee and Kero yelled running to her.
"Not so fast!" Aiden threw an energy ball at them, they dodged but were caught up in a magical grip much like the one Tori was captive in. Evil Aiden laughed as he swung them around, into tree trunks, the ground, and even Tori. Sakura shook her head and stood up as Tori groaned in pain.
Sakura thought furiously 'think Sakura, think! But what am I going to do? Any card I could use could be used against dad, he would use Tori as a human shield!' Aiden grew tired of playing with Kero and Lee. He threw them at Sakura. Sakura pulled out two cards "Windy! Float!" she called "save them!" Windy and Float rushed to help their mistress's friends. Windy whirled in a circle in front of Sakura, catching Lee, setting him on the ground. Float caught Kero's big form and gently placed him in front of Sakura. "Are you guys alright?" Sakura asked them but they were too dizzy to answer. Sakura looked at her father and the shadows surrounding him. 'Wait a minute! Sakura you dolt! What can be put up against dark?' the cool part of her brain that stays aloft from battle. Sakura ran towards Aiden, the card she wanted just floated out of thin air, for Sakura to grab. Aiden threw another energy ball at her. Sakura dodged and threw the star card up; Aiden drew Tori in front of him. "Light!" Sakura bellowed. Light, soft, sweet and bright drew around Tori pulling him away from Aiden's grasp.
"No!" Aiden yelled, voice hard-edged against his "enemies". He hung on so Light gave up and went to the source, Aiden. It entered him, for Aiden it was too much holding Tori and trying to fight.
The hold on Tori dissipated, he started to fall. "Kero!" Sakura called concentrating.
"Right!" Kero positioned himself under the unconscious man. Tori flopped limply onto Kero's back. Kero took him over to where Lee was waiting.
Aiden fell to his knees' purple eyes wide. "Ahhh!" he yelled in pain, his voice sounding more feminine now.
Lee checked Tori over, gently pulling him off Kero and sitting him up against a tree trunk. Seeing that save for a few cuts and bruises Tori looked fine. He then turned to look at Sakura. She had her eyes closed in concentration, as her will was what kept Light fighting. Tori groaned and opened his eyes. Lee turned around "How are you feeling?" he asked.
"Like a truck drove over me." Came the reply. Tori caught sight of Sakura and his father. "What happened!?" Lee and Kero explained the best they could. Tori only moaned and placed his throbbing head in his hands.
The evil in Aiden was putting up a fight but at long last it was no match for the Light card or Sakura's will. In one final attempt, Aiden threw a much weaker energy ball at Sakura but a fuchsia colored beam knocked it away. The wickedness pulled out of Aiden's body and mind, then he collapsed but a black panther with lavender colored wings flew down to catch the archeologist's unconscious form. A purple cloud framed in black hovered over where Aiden used to stand. Sakura put away the Light card and assumed a fighting stance in front of her loved ones. The purple cloud molted into a young woman. "How dare you! Why didn't you just leave well enough alone!" shrieked the woman shaking dark red hair out of her face. Jade eyes glared at the group while she hovered a few feet off the ground by the way of huge wings shaped like a dragon's. She was clothed in black leather pants, a purple leather bustier, black high-heeled boots, and she carried a large staff. The staff was silver in color, it reached a foot or so above the villiness's head and there was a metallic purple moon on top of the staff.
"Who are you? Why are you trying to hurt my family!" Sakura hollered back.
"I am Aurora, princess of darkness and I'm only going to tell you this once, "The evil that haunts you is the worst of it's kind…Keeper of this evil deceiver, use your power it will do you no good…When least expected, we wait in the dark…we are angels. We are of no good. We are your demon angels. We live to make your life hell. We are here to destroy you. We hate you for all time... For we are the angels of depression… and we will eat away at you day by day. One day we will destroy you…"
"There are more of you?!" Kero cried exasperatedly.
"Yes and we will take you out! Kazak and I!!" Aurora screamed as her body began to dissipate. Soon she was gone. Sakura limped over to the group.
"Sakura are you okay?" Lee asked concerned as she knelt by her brother to hug him.
"Yeah, just tired." Sakura answered, "Thanks for all your help."
"Me? I didn't do anything." Lee protested.
"You were there." Sakura simply said.
"What am I chopped liver?" came a male tenor voice.
"Of course not Spinel, but why are you here?" Sakura said hugging Eli's guardian as he and Lee gently eased Aiden off his back.
"Since Eli is your father's other half, he can feel sometimes, if the sensation is strong enough, if something is wrong. Eli felt Aiden being invaded and thought that you might need my help. But it seems that by the time I got here that you had everything covered." Spinel said as Aiden was placed back on him and Lee got on behind the unconscious man, holding him up.
"Thank Eli for us anyway. It's good to know that we had you if anything went wrong." Sakura said helping Tori onto Kero and she got on behind him.
"I'll follow you." Spinel said.
"Ready to go Kero?" Sakura patted her guardians golden side.
"Ready for anything Sakura." Kero said. With a smooth motion of his wings they were off into the dusk.
