Chapter 142 - The lonely princess
On the splash page we have Sakura (with very cold eyes) sitting or even laying on chess pieces, playing a role of a black chess queen (she's dressed like that). Kuro is standing behind her, we can fully see his back. On his coat he has a kings chess symbol. He has a very cold and somewhat sad look on his face. He’s holding his sword, but we don’t see it completely. The text on the splash page is: ‘The man begun to notice. The determination that dwells in the depth of the princess’ eyes’.
Then we switch to another battle with and weird guy as a queen… We see first all pieces fighting, then we have a close up of Kurogane with Sakura in the background. Then we have a close up of her face. She looks determinate but also regretful.
Then we switch to Fai’s fight. The Arabian-looking-knight he’s fighting shouts to him: ‘That you’ve made it this far…It’s only because of luck! But your fortune has run out!’ and it looks like he’s going to use his claws (something like Ken Hidaka’s weapon – Weiss Kreuz).
Fai looks amused and smiles softly yet sad, asking: ‘luck, huh?’. But the one that is pissed off is Kurogane. No wonders, he orders them to shut up. The white pieces shout: ‘what?!’ and in the next second he attacks the pieces with his sword sending them flying and to the ground (it had to hurt…)
But Kurogane is still pissed off (even his face has many gray shades) and repeats: ‘I’m telling you to shut up!’. Then Fai standing behind Kuro answers: ‘Well, they can’t hear it anymore’. But Syaoran is still fighting with his opponent. The claws of his opponents suddenly change and the wrap Syaoran. When it looks like he’s in danger, we have a close up of a worried Sakura and then a close up of determinate Syaoran. He makes his last, final attack with a brave look in his eyes (or maybe he’s even violent…), what leads him to the victory.
The announcement is: BLACK WINS!
The fun starts, as we move into Eagle’s room (?) He’s observing some sort of monitor which shows each of TRC gang (without Mokona of course). Someone (probably Eagle) says: ‘It seems they have won. So the last fight is between them and “her” ’. Then Eagle asks, where Geo was. Lantis answers, that he hadn’t came there at all. ‘It seems I’m quite disliked – Eagle answers, very amused – Well, but while you two are hating me… Can you ask Geo to do me a favor?’ Lantis has a very sad look on his face, while Eagle has a demonic one… They both stare at the monitor, where is a large picture of Sakura. At the same time, Eagle says: ‘We should invite… that little lady for dinner’.
Again, the scene switches to the chess board. Sakura is surprised to find out about the proposition, asking: ‘For… dinner?’. As an answer Geo explains: ‘It’s an invitation from the sponsor of the chess game… The head of the Vision family’. In the meantime Fai helps Sakura to stand on the board. Geo continues: ‘But it’s only for the master alone’. He doesn’t look very pleased about it. But the one that is the most surprised is Syaoran. We have a close up of his worried look. But Sakura is the opposite and she agrees to go without thinking. Fai and Kurogane are also not very pleased about it. The both look like they’re threading Geo, that if something happens to Sakura, he’ll be in trouble… Geo looks quite surprised too. ‘Alone?’ – he asks and Sakura once more agrees. While she is saying her goodbye to the others (and Fai answers ‘ we’ll be waiting’ with a reassuring smile), Syaoran unconsciously grabs her arm in an attempt to stop her. But then re realizes what he’s done and Sakura with a sad look shook his hand away. ‘Please do ahead and rest’ – she says and leaves them on the chess board. Kurogane, as a good father, scolds Syaoran: ‘If you don’t want her to go, just say so. It’s bothersome to deal with guys who never say anything. Because no one understands them’ – He has a very serious look on his face, as he continues – ‘If the other decides on their own. You too, should keep on doing what you want to do’ – and then he whispers into shocked Fai’s ear: ‘Don’t think it’s so noble to just keep silent and think that no one can understand’. Then Kurogane leaves the board, followed by Syaoran. Only Fai stays, angsting, hugging himself, looking like in a big pain…
We move to a giant cage, it looks like Eagle’s home. There is a table, Sakura and Eagle are sitting while Geo and Lantis are standing. It’s better to form this as an dialogue:
E: Was the food of this country to your liking?
S: Yes
E: You manner is perfect too, a real princess indeed. Even if from another dimension
Sakura frowned.
E: Have you entered the chess game because you were aiming for the prize?
S: That too.
E: So that means there’s some other reasons as well.
S: I heard people talking about… That you will give a special trophy to the one who wins this chess.
E: And do you know what that is?
S: Yes.
E: Since you started participating in the chess… I took the liberty to observe you every move. (we see a scene of the previous evening, when Syaoran got drunk – it’s Mokona, who places that headband on Kurogane’s head!) It seems thing’s aren’t going too well between you and your travel companions.
Sakura has a very sad and depressed look as she asks.
S: Do I have to answer that?
E: No. However… Is this why… You wish for that THING?
Sakura closes her eyes, opening them as she answers:
S: Yes. That’s why I want it. The other prize for the winner of the chess. The method to cross worlds alone.
While she says the last line, she speaks without any expressions written on her face. Again we see this “new Sakura”. And with that, the chapter ends.
I know there are many mistakes here, but I hope that will help. I know how hard it is, not to have a chance to know the new chapter ^^
