Power of Two

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.
