Chapter Eight
Gotten All The Talismans
"Finally we had a nice sleep!" "Me too! So now
we can go to the next town and get some talismans done."
Sakura and the Clow Scouts had a nice sleep and they are ready
to go. Sakura is hungry and so is everyone else so they had sushi
for breakfast. All the sudden, Li sense something around and
they got ready to capture whatever that's working. "Hi,
I'm Alpha-Kun and this is my brother Omega-Chan." "Who?"
"We're the owner of the Alpha shop the Omega shop."
"Do you want a match or something like that?" "No,
we just trying to find out where are we." "If you're
not looking for a match but I am!" "Li? Are you crazy?
They are guests!" Said Meilin. "Li was right, those
two people have the Greek Talismans so we have to fight them."
"Give me your best shot!"
Li and Sakura were fighting with those two strangers but Alpha-Kun
puts Sakura in deep sleep so Li is on his own. "Force, know
my plight, release the light! Element, fire!" The fire is
all over Alpha-Kun and broke Alpha down. "Return to your
power confined!" Li captured The Alpha but Omega-Chan is
very mad so he used a knife trying to kill Li but Li zapped time.
"That was a close one. Omega, return to your power confined!"
Li captured both of them and they fainted. Sakura woke up after
the "Greek Twin" fainted and Madison and Meilin were
amazed by what Li could do. "Wow, Li, very nice." "Of
course he is always nice because he is my cousin."
Madison got the symbol of Meta and Meilin got the symbol of Delta.
Moonlin got Epsilon; Sunlin got Gamma and Upsilon; and Sakura
got Omicron when those people showed up. "Not again! We
have to walk another a hundred miles to get to the next town!"
"Meilin, it's not that hard and I promise this time we'll
be better." "How do you know Sakura? All you did was
riding the float with Li and I was flying with Madison!"
"I thought you weren't mad at that!" "I know but
I need sometime with my cousin alone." "Fine then,
this time you take the float with Li and I'll fly with Madison."
"Thanks Sakura, you're a good friend."
"Li, do you have plans for your future?" Asked Meilin
when they were on their way to the next city. "I don't know
Meilin, I think you should marry someone you should be like someone
who cares about you and who loves you." "What about
our engagement?" "It's been destroyed for two years."
"I know that but our parents still wants us to get married
because of the old tradition." "How do you know?"
"The other night I was playing with Madison's camera and
I had a problem with it so I want to call her and I heard Wei
is on the phone talking to our parents." "What they
say?" "Wei didn't tell them anything about the engagement
thing but my mom asked her about it so she just have to tell
the truth and they are sending the copy of their form and Wei
is trying to force us to sign it." "I won't sign it
or I can type it out and write Sakura's name on it." "You
can't, there's a stamp on it!" "I guess we have to
take care of that when we get back to Hongkong." "And
when is that?" "Someday."
They reached to the next town on time and Lambda is challenging
Madison a match. Madison is getting pretty good at everything
so she captured it just like Sakura did on the final judgment.
"Hurray! We can celebrate and I suggest we go to a Chinese
restaurant because I didn't eat Chinese food for a long time!"
"Meilin! Concentrate! This is ancient Greece and we're stuck
somewhere in time and I don't know what we can do and I don't
think those old Greek people knows what to do with Chinese food
and I don't know they know how to eat it or even cook it."
"I think Chinese people could come here and cook it for
the Greek people and they will love it." "I don't think
so."
"Hi, I'm Kappa and you could call me De Lou. I'm Chinese
and I came here to cook Chinese food. I'm the owner of Kappa
Chinese Restaurant and I overheard your conversation so do you
want some Chinese food?" "But we don't have much money."
"That's no problem, this is my first day and the first costumer
eats for free!" "Hurray! I knew I will have luck after
I bought that Amulet!" Meilin is so happy and she followed
De Lou to his restaurant to eat Chinese food. The rest don't
know what to do with her so they just follow along.
When they got in the restaurant, the chief came out and introduce
himself. "Hi, I'm Lou Law and I'm the chief. I'm into Psychology
so you can call me Psi." "Why those people have nicknames?"
Asked Madison. "I don't know," said Sakura, "I
think because their real name is hard to pounce." "Maybe."
All of a sudden that Li sense something is around and he found
out that's Psi so he followed him into the kitchen.
"I know you're up to something." "I don't know
what you're talking about." "I can't find any evidence
now so beware, I'll come back someday." All the chief thinks
is that Li is very weird. Meilin ordered all her favorite foods
and she ordered something for Li and Sunlin and Moonlin and Sakura
just ordered a soda and sushi. "I think you're going to
here much often so I'll introduce everybody to you. You already
know the chief and me, the other chief is Tau; my assistant Sigma;
the secretary Theta; waiter Zeta and Chi. I named them because
I like it and I hope you'll like it also." "Nice, very
nice."
The lunch went very well until there's a bad feeling inside everyone
heart. "Did you feel something?" "I truly did,
and I don't like it much." "Me either. Do you think
Kappa put something in the food that made us sick?" "Definitely
not, I had this feeling that this restaurant is been set up."
"Why is that?" "I sense something around here."
"Me too, and now I'm going to throw up!" Sakura throw
up in the bathroom and then a shadow came to her. "Tau?
What you doing here? This is the ladies room." "Clow
Mistress, you're in trouble now! Li is fighting with Psi in the
kitchen and all your friends are unprotected. That's why we put
things in your food especially yours and Li's to make you guys
sick so we could take over." "Who are you?" "I'm
a secret assistant from Dark Shadow World." "I knew
it, I knew there shouldn't be a Chinese restaurant in the middle
of nowhere in ancient Greece." "No matter how sick
I am I could still capture you. Oh key of Clow, the power of
Magic, the power of light, surround the wand, the force ignite,
release! Tau, return to you power confined!" "No!"
Sakura captured that talisman and she just sit there and starring
at the door for a long time.
"Clow Master, you're very stupid and now the dark is taking
over." "You can't do it! Force know my plight, release
the light!" "Li!" "Sakura, capture it quick!"
"Psi, return to your power confined!" "That was
a close one." "It is and we have to get back because
they can't handle those many people." "Right."
"Moonlin, you take Theta; Madison, you take Zeta; Meilin,
you take Chi and I'll take Sigma." "What about the
last one, the owner!" "We have to get that one done
later!" They captured all those people very nicely except
the Kappa. "I'll take it!" "No Sunlin, I should
do it because I caused you all those trouble. Now I don't care
who you are but you must do what you must do. The Symbol of Kappa
in the ancient Greek, return to your own form confined!"
Meilin captured that symbol on her own and she is very happy
and she even forgot about her stomachache.
"The only thing we have to is walk another a hundred miles
to get back to the first city and place all those stuff in the
correct order." "Let's go!" They are on their
way back home.
