Sakura found Ian when he was walking around starring at the moon. “What’s the matter Ian? Thinking about your girlfriend?” “That isn’t funny Clow Mistress, my girlfriend is Layla.” “I think I know that.” “Let the battle begin.” “Wait, I don’t even know what the battle is.” “Same as all the battles you went through. Brain test, Skill test, and Fighting test.” “I get it, where do we start?” “Lasin Stadium.” “When?” “Now, ancient light with dark shadow, zap us to Lasin Stadium, release!” The dark magic brought them to Lasin Stadium. “Wow you’re good at that!” “Meilin, aren’t you forgetting something? You suppose to be on your team!” “Sorry, I forgot. Give me your best shot Ian because I’m about to kick your butt.”

They have to get into groups so Madison is in Brain test, Li is in Skill test and Meilin is in Fighting test and Sakura is helping who ever needed her. “Who is the one that saved you guys in the fight of Dark Shadow?” “Sakura and Li?” “Correct. What is the thing that Li called out when he was saving Madison from the maze?” “Incantations.” “You are right and who is the one that is in charge of your test?” “What test?” “Ultimate test.” “Shadow!” “That’s right! You passed.”

Li is in skill test but he didn’t do that well but Sakura helped him on the second question. “Thanks Sakura.” “You’re welcome Li.” “Will you check my answers?” “Sure. Question number 1, if you are fighting with Firey, what will be the best. Answer will be Watery and you got it right. Question number 2, what do you do to rescue a baby hanging on the top of a tree. Answer is use The Move card and that one you got it all right. The third one asks you what is the best solution if you’re capturing a card in public and the answer is use The Sleep and Li you got all of them right!” “Thanks Sakura!”

Meilin is doing well because she has to beat Ian! That was too hard for her. “Avalon, I mean Sakura, you gotta help me or I’ll die in this mission.” “Listen Meilin, if he uses an element card, you use the exact opposite of it!” “But I don’t have the opposite card!” “Then I’ll come and help! What is the matter now?” “He tries to attack me with Power.” “Use Fight!” “Good idea.” Meilin passed the test with little Sakura’s help.

“Ian, we passed, now what do we do?” “Beat me.” “Okay, Thunder, release and dispel!” The Thunder is shocking Ian until his soul is been shocked out. “You beat me! No…” Ian died and Tori is lying on the ground. “Tori! I’m so happy to see you again.” “Sakura, I’m happy to see you too but my brain hurts a little.” “Okay, we rest until tomorrow and then we go to find Yue.” “Julian? Where is he?” “He is buried but he’ll be okay after we saved him.” “We got to find him now! I don’t want my best friend to die now!” “Okay, power of Clow, zap us to Low World!”

Sakura learned how to zap and they ended up in Owego’s house. “Owego, we’re here to find Julian.” “You mean Yue, in Magic World, he is Yue but maybe on Earth his name is Julian.” “Where is he? I needed to see him right now!” “Didn’t Lero tell you? Oh, she isn’t with you. Here is the thing, you have to beat me but save my two spirits and then you go to Lasin Graveyard and find where Yue is buried. Then you take him to Source World then you put one of my spirits you think it’s right to his body and then if it is right he will be normal but he needs rest but if it isn’t you have to battle him.” “So that means that we have to battle you first?” “Yeah, you want to battle me now?” “Of course!”

The battle begun once again, this time Li and Sakura just sit down and watch Meilin and Madison battle Owego. “Isn’t this great Sakura, our power reached certain level and we’re so powerful and so are Meilin and Madison. This time it’s their turn to battle and we just have to talk about something we never talked before.” “Like what?” “Who do you want to marry when you grow up?” “I don’t know though, we’re still in junior high school.” “Aren’t you forgetting something Sakura? We’re on vacation, when our vacation ends, we’re going to be in High school and it’s much tougher.” “I know but which high school do you want to go? We started capturing cards when we’re ten and now we’re fourteen.” “It’s four years, isn’t it amazing?” “I know, I decided, if you’re still in Japan, I will marry you.” “Really? That is so cool! I love you Sakura.” “I love you too Li.”

Madison and Meilin are doing very well and Owego was defeated. The two spirits went two ways, one to Madison and one to Meilin and they put them into two jars. Those spirits looks strange because one of them is gold and one of them is silver and they decided they would deal with it when they find Julian.

It’s creeping. It’s very haunted. It’s the grave of the dead. Julian is in there, sleeping with the dead, very creepy and scary. “Why we have to be here?” Sakura said. “Silly Sakura, don’t afraid of ghosts, they aren’t real!” Said Meilin. “Meilin, you don’t know how afraid I am!” A ghost came out of the grave saying, “Who are you? You don’t belong here! Go away or we’re going to haunt you!” Then all the other ghosts began to say, “haunt you…” “I’m outta here!” Sakura ran very fast out of the graveyard and knelt down.

“Sakura! We have to find Julian remember?” “Li, you do it, I’ll stay here, and I hate ghosts.” “Fine then.” Li talked to the ghost leader and found where Julian is. He used the silver spirits and it was the right one. “Julian! You’re back!” Said Tori happily and he hugged Julian. “Hey pal, what’s up?” Julian seemed happy too and they walked out the graveyard. “Julian! You’re back!” Sakura hugged Julian and they’re on their way to Dark World to find lost elements.

Julian was staying with Tori because he needed rest. The Clow Scouts sneaked in Dark Shadow Palace and try to find where are the elements are. “I think it’s in Darken’s bedroom.” “So do I.” They all went into Darken’s bedroom and found all the elements flying upon the roof. “There they are!” “I think we have to capture it.” “How?” “Like this.” Li showed them how to capture the cards. They jumped on Darken’s bed and Li is jumping around until he got Shadow Gold. “You see it? Okay, all of us only can take 2 cards so it made it 8 cards but we still needed two but it’s okay. We can come back with Tori and Julian and maybe they can do it.” “Sure.” Sakura got The Windy, The Water; Meilin got The Love, The Perfect; Madison got The Bad, The Cold; and Li got The Wood and Shadow Gold. The Earthy and The Firey are the only left. Sakura and the rest left the palace and headed back.

“Tori! Julian! We got some the elements back!” “What do you mean some?” “Well, The Earthy and The Firey are still in the palace waiting for you guys to get it.” “Wait Sakura,” “why Li?” “Kero needs what two cards to transform himself?” “The Earthy and The Firey. Oh no! They are going after Kero next! We should’ve get those cards first!” “It’s okay, I think we just have to challenge him ourselves.” “Yeah.” They were all together except Kero.

When they all gone to sleep, Sakura was kind of sad, she remembered all the good times she had with Kero and now it’s gone. “Kero, where are you right now?” Sakura murmured to herself and she went back to sleep.

Darken and his secret agent is planning on their next experiment on Keroberos, the golden beast with wings. “My dear, this time we’re going down!” “Certainly master.” Said an evil, familiar voice and then she smiled with the dark.
