Touya's Return Chapter 5: Battle Against All Odds.
By: SorceressMidori
"Where are we?" Tomoyo said, her voice has a mixture of fear and amazement.
"Is this the place where the Dark Master hides?" Touya said in an angry tone.
"Yes, this is the place." Yue answered.
As the group walked nearer the cave they started to hear strange noises. They heard sloppy footsteps and weird howls. Then they saw red lights in the cave, strangely though, the lights looked like eyes of wild animals in the dark. Syaoran decided to light a dried wood branch. When their path was lighted they saw a battalion of muddy zombies walking towards them. Tomoyo screamed while the rest of them stood in fighting stances.

"Cursed those brats! I should have known that they could reach this place quickly. That Clow Reed must have left that potion." Dark Master said as she looked in a very placid fountain, "I must hurry. I must have control over her before they get here." She then walked towards her desk and picked the book on it. She began to browse its contents then smiled, "This should take their time for a while…Forces of dark magic from within, I your master release you from your imprisonment. Grant me my wish, destroy everything that goes against our evil will! I command you, KUROIRYUO, AWAKEN!!
A strong gust of wind swirled around her and a loud roar shook the place. A shadow of a dragon appeared and bowed before Dark Master. As swiftly as it came, as swiftly it was gone.

"These zombies are worthless!" Kero said annoyingly, "One push and they're gone. Is this all what Dark Master have?"
"Shut up, Cereberus. You may not know it but maybe she already has a plan going on against us." Yue said. Just then like a loud thunder, the black dragon summoned by Dark Master roared. Sharp claws outstretched, ready to kill was poised in front of them. Syaoran readied his ofudas while Yue and Kero focused their chi. Touya stood in front of Tomoyo to shield her from the commotion that would be happening in seconds.
"Touya, Syaoran go ahead! Sakura would be in that direction." Yue shouted, "and please take Tomoyo with you!"
"But how about you guys?" Syaoran asked.
"We'll take care of this dragon. Go save Sakura now!" Kero said as he charged the enormous dragon.
"Please do hurry finishing this beast so that we could face Dark Master together." Tomoyo said before she ran with Touya and Syaoran.
"This wouldn't be long, minna-san." Yue said softly as he shot another arrow.
"Yue, this couldn't be Kuroiryuo, could it?" Kero said as he began to pant.
"So, you have noticed it too."
"Is this the reason why you've asked them to leave?"
"…Yes…"
"sigh Very well, we shall fight to the end… just like how we fought this beast last time."
Yue and Cereberus began focusing their chi in one blast. Then the seal of Clow appeared beneath their feet and they transformed into one big golden ball. The ball swiftly entered the dreaded beast's body and then it began to roar or more like to cry in pain.

"Looks like they're beating that dragon's butt really hard." Tomoyo said with a smile, "They would be here any minute now."
All of a sudden they all heard an explosion which caused them to stop running for a while. Touya suddenly shivered and Syaoran saw two cards in front of him.
"Yue…Cereberus…" Syaoran said as he held the cards in front of him with trembling hands.
"That can't be!" Tomoyo exclaimed as she began to cry.
"They sacrificed themselves to beat Kuroiryuo." Touya said as he turned his back and started to walk. "We should hurry."
"Let's go now, Tomoyo." Syaoran said as he helped her to get up.
"You're right. Those two gave everything for Sakura, now is our turn." Tomoyo replied as she wiped her tears.
"We'll have our revenge. I would personally see to that." Syaoran whispered to himself. Little does he know that Touya was swearing to eliminate Dark Master too.

"They've destroyed my pet! I'll make them pay!" she said as she watched the group.
Then, with her power, she transferred Sakura to a bed. She then injected her with the potion she made earlier.
"Forces of dark magic, spirits within, I, Dark Master, ask for your powers to destroy all good and pleasant. Grant me eternal magic!" she then got a dagger and did a blood contract with Sakura's body. "This blood, symbol of our agreement I offer to you. Make the Mistress and I ONE!
With the said word, black swirls of smoked carried Sakura's body. Some smoke entered Dark Master's body and began to extract her soul [author's notes: huh? She has a soul?]. Her soul entered Sakura's body, and then the smoke became thicker as it enveloped Sakura's body. After a few seconds the smoke subsided and revealed Sakura wearing tight black robes, accentuating her body's figure and complexion. Her eyes changed from green to an eerie glow of jade. Her hair grew longer up to her heels. She looks more devilish and her once soft pink aura changed to a strong black one.
As the gang entered the lair of Dark Master they didn't know that they would be fighting Dark Master in Sakura's body.
"Welcome to my lair! What took you so long?" she said mockingly.
To be continued…
Author's notes: Yue and Kero didn't die, ok! They just transformed into cards. Well, I know they don't transform into cards but hey it's my fic. The idea of making them turn into cards is to temporarily seal them to save their energy, is that clear? And forgive me if you think Dark Master's chants/spells sucks, btw, Kuroiryuo means black dragon.
Well, please review and tell me what you think. ^_//
