Disclaimer:I don't own CCS, Clamp does. Don't sue! Um, this story has Silver Star and Fiery as substitutes for Yue and Kero. I never stole any ideas from the stories of Pern.
Thanks all for your wonderful reviews. I love it when you all review with such vigour. It's fantastic. Hopefully Mystical Ying and Yang will be as successful as Sung From The Heart, one of my other stories.
But so far, I've really enjoyed writing MY&Y but all good things come to an end. It's really getting hard to write the last few chapters so please bear with me. After all, what would I do without of you? Anyway, this story will be finished in a few chapters, and I might add an epilogue. What do you all think?
After all SFTH has finished, so I must push this story on so I can make way for new stories. As always, please bear with me if you think this story is dragging on. I can't help it. I've never written about any wars or fights in my life.
Mystical Ying and Yang
Chapter 12: Armies of No Hope
It was almost dawn, the day of Judgement but few knew besides Sakura. She had been awake since 2:00, watching over the amassing army that waited for the Final Battle.
She knew there was hardly any hope. The darkness's army was too strong, and a lust for battle made them powerful.
Only a miracle could save them all, for if not, then many good beasts and people would die. This was the start of the end.
Merely destiny and fate will decide what happens today.

Tan eyelids fluttered, opened and stayed. Black void echoed in the being's eyes.
Giving a dark smirk, he walked into the chambers the tainted dwarfs had built for him. Standing in front of his mirror, he looked at his dark looks.
"Not bad, a well chosen body for once. One with fairly powerful magic, bordering dark magic, done much killing, plenty of cruelty."
He flexed a muscle, shook his limbs, seeing how his body functioned. He partially remembered martial arts that his former occupant knew.
With dark chestnut hair, messy locks, and dark green robes flanking onto black.
"Wait til the Cherry Blossom sees what I have to show her."
The corrupted Little Wolf chuckled, a cold dry sound, that echoes all through the dark temple, creeping out the goblin guards.
Pitch black eyes stared into oblivion, mad with revenge.

He was lost, and he knew it.
Black, black, always black rained on him.
All he could see was black. He was imprisoned, unknown to himself that something had taken control over his body. He knew that something had gone wrong but he didn't know that evil had come over Meili once again.
"Sakura!" he cried, calling into the dark abyss.
He received no answer. He had called before. He was losing hope. His powers had vanished and he had nothing to fight. Only emptiness. Bitterness lay over him. His body convulsed, pain grew and sent him crashing into a heap and he was unconscious once again as the being took control.
Forever black.

"Remember� Fight for freedom!!"
A roar was heard as mythical beasts, people and oddities joined together to fight the oppressing evil that blighted Meili. Griffins, dragons, tame rocs, peaceful giants and titans, winged horses, unicorns, Morphians (A race of men that had the ability to change into wild animals.), half elves (half human and half elf, nearly extinct except for a few clans that lived in the wild forests.), Clan people and able village folk who had been brave enough to volunteer.
Sakura watched all as she saddled up onto Silver Star. It had been a hard journey but Eriol, Marcus, Ray and a few others had managed to get all the help. The sight that spread from her eyes showed the hundred thousand that all the clan leaders commanded. Immediately, the night before, all of the leaders, giants to half elves alike held a council of war.
Many creatures had alliances with others, winged horses with the unicorns and the Morphians, Griffins and the rocs, the giants and titans, and the half elves by themselves.
This was to be the final march.

(Flashback)
Lord Lyornes was the last of his kind. He was to be the greatest king before his fall. And for this golden reign, a gift was bestowed on him.
The Book of Three was given to him, as a gift passed down from king to heir, for noble birth were given it. It told the great three proportions of time. The past, the present and the future.
Long ago when enchantment and the creatures of Meili came to the newborn land, good and evil was created.
They made the land, shaped its people until enchantment ruled their thoughts and hearts.
For all who read the book, the last page was an ultimatum, the end of their world.
(End Of Flashback)

For the last time, Sakura tried to hear and reach Syaoran through their bonds.
As she reached into her mind, normally where a familiar feeling of Syaoran was, there was nothing. Except a black void, a portal of ultimate darkness.
And suddenly, she wasn't in the saddle anymore, or anywhere near Silver Star or anywhere familiar.
As she looked at her surrounding she shivered. The place was black, with almost no light. It looked like a temple of some sort. As she looked behind her, paths lead to an opening in the temple. She figured that it was the entrance as the light was a bit better there.
"Ah, my dear, so you finally arrive�" called a soft voice, filled with something that made Sakura shudder.
"Who are you?" she stuttered, clutching her stomach in a protective manner, forgetting that no one knew of her pregnancy. She moved towards the entrance, backing up, while looking all around for the mysterious voice.
"Uh, uh, uh� You shouldn't be going anywhere in your state�" said the voice again. Every time Sakura heard it, she gritted her teeth for it made her nauseous.
"How do you know?" she whispered, clutching her stomach again, her head bowed.
Something, arms grabbed her behind her back. She scrabbled, trying to free herself, until the arms let go. She turned around.
"After all, I'm the father�"
Gasping in horror, and shaking her head madly, Sakura looked twice. Horribly black eyes greeted her, a mad gleam in them. But it was no mistaking it, it was Syaoran, for he had the same brown messy hair, and the same green robes that she saw him in before he left her.
"Shaoran? What are you doing here?"
"To set out what I should have done when I first met you� my Cherry Blossom� to kill you.." The poison oozed from his white mouth, a heavy contrast from his tanned arms.
He drew his sword from the sheath, the ring of metal against the scabbard. The ancient designs upon it, once gleaming bright was now a blood red, corrupted.
Eyes wide open, Sakura stumbled. She fell to the floor.
"You're not my Syaoran! What have you done to him!" she cried, anger and fear reigned in her expressive eyes.
"Oh, he's in here.. pretty one, so be calm. He and I just share the same body. I know every little secret he has. Every little thing. Right now he doesn't even know who he is. He and I are one."
He came close, brandishing the sword, and raised it as he prepared for the death stroke.
Watch out, Sakura! Chapter 13!
