"The girl has to go."
*They wouldn't just put this place here for no reason at all. Something's going to happen, probably...we should stay put for a little. Danger might be brewing...*
"That's right. By the end of the day...she'll be gone...FOREVER! MWAHAHAHAHA! Just try and stop-"
*I'll never let them take Sakura from me.*
He unsheathes his sword.
*Never.*

Episode 14: Sakura's Plight
Part 2
"You want me to WHAT?" Tails asks, confused.
*To fly me up to the ship so I can rescue Sakura.* Syaoran says in a straightforward manner.
"But you must weigh like..."
*Just give it a shot, ok?*
"Whatever..."
The rest of the group watches as Syaoran grabs onto Tails's arms, as he begins to lift off the ground.
"You sure you don't need any help now?" Yoshi asks, lending a hand.
*No...I think it'd be better for me to handle this myself.*
Jigglypuff remarks, "Jigjiggly puffpuff jig jigglypuff... (Now's not the time to be going all macho...)"
*Actually, I figure the less people, the less chance of being detected.*
"Besides...how are you guys going to get up there?" Tails asks. "I can hardly carry him..." he cringes, raising higher.
"Good luck!" Amy waves.

"Look, I can juggle!" Bowser says playfully, tossing around 3 knives. "Ow!" They land on his hard shell. Bowser plucks them out.
"So that's what it's there for." Robotnik dryly comments. "Stupidity protection."
"Isn't the whole point of the deal is to kill the girl?" Ganondorf asks, slightly impatient.
"Wow, how did you figure out." Robotnik continues in the same tone of voice.
Sakura nervously glances back and forth. *Well...at least technically this is stalling for time...I hope Syaoran gets here soon...* Something catches her eye. A movement. The light reflecting off some shiny surface. Apparently the window-side torture chamber was a good idea...
"Look! FOUR knives!"
---
*How did we get in undetected?* Syaoran looks around, at tens of security devices.
"According to those, we don't exist." Tails holds up a wave jammer.
*Neat.* Syaoran moves for the conviently-open door.
"Uh-uh. I'm not letting you go in there alone, man." Tails blocks his path.
*Come on. I already told you that I was flying solo.*
"I don't care. It's too dangerous."
*Will I have to make you make me?" Syaoran puts a hand on his sword sheath.
"You wouldn't..." Tails shudders.
Syaoran takes his hand off it. *Yeah. I wouldn't. But still, step aside.* He quickly walks around Tails, through the door.
"Wait!" Tails reacts too slowly. "Fine, be that way." he remarks angrily, but quickly cools down. "I hope he knows what he's doing..."
---
"Aren't we ever going to get to the fun part?" Ganondorf asks, bored.
Mewtwo laughs. "The whole point is to torture the victim, you know."
Ganondorf looks back at Bowser, who is still a one-man circus. "So...who's the victim then. Her, or us?"
Robotnik snatches the knives out of Bowser's hands. "You're having too much fun."
"Awwwwww...I was just getting warmed up!"
Suddenly a couple of sirens go off.
"Intruder in corridor 14. Intruder in corridor 14. Deploying security units. Intruder in corridor 14..." a robotic voice blares.
Ganondorf perks up. "NOW we're talking..."
---
*Corridor 14?* Syaoran asks, dashing through the rooms. Examining a map, he continues. *This is corridor 30. What idiots.*
Even so, he continues hiding in the shadows, taking all precautions. Looking at a wall he has to scale, he reaches for a handhold to start climbing.
Suddenly, sirens set off and the room flashes red.
"Intruder in corridor 30. Intruder in corridor 30..."
*Aw, shoot.* Syaoran looks at the 'handhold'. *Next time, DON'T grab the alarm lever...* he mutters as robots land around him.
---
A figure in corridor 14, brandishing a staff, escapes from some robots. The robots, however, suddenly stop moving, and warp themselves to corridor 30, preparing for the other intruder.
The figure leans against a wall, tired.
*Corridor 30?* it asks. *Why are they going there? Oh well, works for me.*
*Now if I make a left at the next junction, that should lead me to Sakura's room...*
---
Bowser glares icily at Sakura. "Any last words, girl?"
Sakura looks back, hiding her fright. To speak would to be showing a sign of weakness, but it couldn't hurt to drag this out a little more...
*You'll never get away with this! I know that alarm was Syaoran on this ship, and any second now, he'll be breaking through that door over there!* She gestures off to the side for emphasis. *He is is the greatest guy in the world and there is nothing he cannot do, and I believe in him!!*
Robotnik sniffs sarcastically. *Aww...you almost made me cry...* he mocks.
"WAAAA!" A load roar rocks the room. "It's so TOUCHING!!" Bowser cries with (real) emotion.
Ganondorf sighs and mutters, "You're not supposed to actually let it affect you..." Then, going farther, he snatches the knife, still laying on the table. "In fact, get out of the way. Let's get this over with." he snarls, slowly advancing on Sakura.
Sakura still matches the villains' glare, showing much strength and courage. However, inside, she knows, her time is up. Syaoran...
---
And then the predictable, and the unpredicable occurs...
Doors on opposite ends of the room slam open, and two voices, as one, shout out *Not so fast!!*
Ganondorf, without turning, raises the knife and responds, "For whom?"
Crash.
Shouts.
Scream.
*SAKURA!!*
