Chapter 18
The group was sitting around the huge listen to the Emperor.
"That was very interesting story but could you tell us how does these cards work?" Asked Touya.
Eriol turned at the commander. "The picture on each of these cards represents a code. We need to put all the cards into the Clow's scanner to unlock the security system. If even a card was missing the other 51 cards will be useless."
"And what if there's someone had making a copy of it?" Asked Meirin.
"All the card had made by the cutting edge technology that no one can copy it." Replied Eriol. "The real one will have the specific electrical signal came out of it. The scanner will operate only when it received the signal."
"And why don't you lock it in the safe? Why you have to carried it with you?" Asked Sakura.
"Because we suspected that it was someone from inside. And that's mean it's not save to keep in the capitol city anymore."
"And who's the guy who wants to steal it from you?" Asked Touya. "Who's your suspect?"
"I think you know him, commander. He's the Field Marshall Kuki Mondo."
"Kuki Mondo!? That old vulture is still alive!?" Exclaimed Touya. "I should knew it from the first place! There's noone except him that could come up with these such a stupid idea."
"And we think that he's the one who's behind the incident at the Gray Wolf Town too."
"And if you know who he is, who don't you just send your troops to get him?" Asked Syaoran.
"We did, we sent the troop to investigate his base but he wasn't there as well as all of his personal squad."
"His personal squad?"
"Kuki had present a secret plan years ago. It was about to make the deformed soldier to become available again by giving them the artificial limp."
"Artificial limp? You means to make them cyborg?"
"Yes. Kuki had called this plan "Machiner Platoon". Of course this plan didn't pass the assembly but there're rumors that he's secretly doing it and make them his personal squad."
At this Sakura startled. "The men who attack me has the arm made from machine that means they are….."
Eriol nodded. "Yes, they must be the men that Kuki sent to after the cards."
Suddenly the light start to flick then completely out.
"What's happening?"
"Black out?"
Terada picked up the phone and dial an inner line number then asked. "Electrical room, what's happening?" There's no answer from the other end.
"I think we have some uninvited guests coming." Said Touya.

"We're already cut their power supply, sir."
"Good." Colonel Hawk talked to his crew over the radio. "Now go on with your mission. Get the card and capture the Emperor. If there're anyone interfere, kill them."
"Roger."
Colonel Hawk turned to Shengron. "You see Captain Li. All of this was just a piece of cake. Soon everything will done as plan."
"It better be that way." Replied Shengron. "But there're something that I still worried."
"About the Guardian? They're nothing."
"It's not them that I worried about. It's someone else."
************************
In front of the meeting room, a bunch of men in black approach the door. They exchanged signal with each other then the guy on the front kicked open the door and rush into the room but there's no one inside. They looked around to see is there another exit. One of them looked up and saw that the air vent was hung opened. Four of them went up into the air vent while the others rushed out of the room leaving only 3 men in the room. The three remaining men stared at the air vent not knowing that the wall behind them was slowly open up.
"There're only three left. Let's go!"
Suddenly four shadows dashed out from the open wall and head toward the remaining men. One of them looked back and saw them coming but it was too late as Syaoran kicked him in the chin knocked him out cold. The second man was got kick in the leg by Meirin making him fell backward to the floor, before he could get up he got hit in the head by Sakura.
As he saw both of his friends being knocked down. The last man ran to the door but before he could reach to it Touya wrapped his arm around the guy's throat choking him. After the a few seconds the last guy was stop struggled and went joined his friends in the dreamland.
The rest of the group walked out from the secret hiding place and observed the work.
"Left the air vent hung open to make them think we're leaving the room by that way and after most of them were gone you came out and knock them out. That was a great diversion plan." Said Terada as he looked at the men that lied on the floor.
"We're better tie them up first and lock them inside that stored room and don't forget to cut the power cable on their arm and leg before you tie them, ok?" Said Touya as he pulled the power cable out from the arm of the man he had knock down and cutted it.
"Roger." Replied the children as they did the same on the remaining men.
"You seems to know how to handle them very well. Have you ever fight them before?" Kaho walked up to Touya who's busy tying the man up.
"I fought the creeps like these a couple of times. They cause us a lot of trouble but I had learned from those times that even they replace all the other limps with the machine. They can't replace the brain and that's how I work on them. And I also know that cutting their control cable would doing as well."
"Impressive."
As they put the unconscious soldier inside the stored room that they were hiding the group start to discussed about what are they going to do next.
Terada put the blueprint of the building on the table. "They might already took over the whole building right now and we don't know the exact number of them. Is anyone has the idea?"
After thinking for a second Yukito asked up. "Is this building used the central air?"
"Yes, we have the big condenser on the roof and it will spread out to the whole building." Replied Terada as he pointed at the blueprint.
Yukito turned to Nakuru. "Did you take the sleeping gas with you?"
"It's right here." Nakuru held up a bunch of sleeping gas can from her bag.
"Good, it should be enough." Yukito smiled in satisfaction.
"I got it. If we can put the sleeping into the air-condition system. We could put them all to sleep without harming the other people in the building." Exclaim Sakura.
"That's right."
"But if we breath in the gas doesn't that mean we're gonna sleep too?" Asked Meirin.
"That's why we have to eat this anti-toxin drug first. It will prevent us from falling asleep." Said Nakuru as she took a bottle full of capsule up and gave it to everyone.
"Alright. If there's nobody protested then let's go." Said Eriol as every head's out of the room.
