The
Power of Two

All
of a sudden, a bright blue and yellow light came out of Lero’s stomach. The
next generation of Cerebus is here! Lero had a baby with Kero. This is the
greatest thing in the world, a little green creature, the color mixed by yellow
and blue. They decided to name him Mero as for the letter after K and L. The
little boy looks exactly like Kero but only his skin color is different. After a
day, Mero grown is half big as Kero when he first met Sakura. “Wow, I’m so
happy for you guys!” “Thanks Meilin, this might be the first time and the
last time you ever say good things to us.” “No Kero, don’t be silly, I’m
trying to be nice after your fight.” “Thanks anyways.”
“I’m
happy for you too Keroberos.” Said Darken. “Darken? What are you doing here?
You are not invited to the baby shower and you aren’t going to destroy the
great thing.” Said Sakura with the wand in her hand. “No, no, no. You got
this all wrong, I’m here to celebrate.” “Save it for yourself Darken, I
know you aren’t just come and say good things to us.” “That’s right!”
“You don’t understand, since you defeat all my bright agents, you’re going
to go into the stadium and fight for your very last fight but it’s not
‘the’ last one. Maybe there’s another trouble during this time but
you’ll know after.” “What should we do?” “You take all your time with
your babies and stuff, if you’re all done with those, come to Dark World and
I’ll tell you everything then you’ll going to Lasin World to fight. The
Lasin Mountain is the highest mountain in Magic World and you have to climb up
and find out all the mysteries. Anyways, come when you’re ready and I’ll
tell you everything. Okay, bye!”
Darken
left and everybody gone back to their happy place. That night, they had a party
and it was so cool. They don’t have a lot of people so it made the party much
easier, Kero made all the candles and stuff for the party and they just sit
there, eating barbecue. “I think this is the most fine day of our lives after
we had the connections with Magic.” “I agree with Sakura. Think about this,
all four years, we’ve been capturing cards; fight, capturing cards and fights.
We never got anything to do other besides that. Then we lost our friends and
stuff like that. It’s just too cruel.” “I don’t seem why is that
possible because our loved ones were always lead us and tell us what to do.
Sometimes we’ll get lost but we’ll always be grateful and we’ll always
win.”
It’s
a very long conversation about magic, life, and most of all, love and
friendship. When they’re talking, Julian spent his time eating all the food
and Meilin talked the most about her old life with Li and everything. Madison
found her camera and Kero made an empty tape so Madison was taping. Tori is kind
of bored just listening and sometimes he’ll talk about ghost and his mother.
Kero is just keeping making miracles and Lero is taking care of the baby. Then
Sakura and Li had a walk.
“Li,
do you think we’re able to win this match?” “Of course we will, we will
always will, I knew that. I will always there for you. Can we talk about
something else?” “Sure.” “What about our future?” “What do you
mean?” “After this, I think I needed to head for Hongkong and I don’t know
if I’m coming back or not. What about if there’s another trouble and I’m
not able to reach you?” “Don’t worry Li, we’re meant to be together and
nothing is ever going to bother us.” “Thanks. And one more things, I love
you Sakura.” “I love you too Li.” “I think we should head back because
it’s kinda late.” “I know! I was going to say that and we’ve been
walking for thirty minutes.” “Right.”
Li
and Sakura are heading back then rain started so the walk became a jog. “What
is up with this weather? I thought Magic World was sunny.” “I don’t know,
something is terribly wrong, did you bring your wand? We can fly back.”
“Okay. The key of Clow, the power of Magic, the power of light, surround the
wand, the force ignite! Release! Fly! Li get on, we got to get back!”
When
they got back, everybody is gone, except for the fire on the barbecue. “What?
It can’t be!” “What is happening? Li, tell me, all my friends and relative
are in that group!” “I once had this dream that the exactly same thing
happened except the rain. I dreamed that we had a walk and then it snowed but we
walked slower and when we got back all the people were dead.” “It’s worse!
Tell me, what happened next?” “I don’t know! Then I woke up! But I think
we should check in with Darken.” “Surprise!” “Huh?” “Sakura? Don’t
you remember today is the first day you know about Magic and it’s Mero’s
birthday?” “I know it’s Mero’s birthday all right but I forgot all about
my first day of Magic.” “Then here you go!” “Li, I think this is
happiness and it’s not very cruel.” “I hope it stays this way.”
The
next week, Sakura and the other people checked in with Darken about the battle.
Now Mero is big as Kero when he first met Sakura. Darken is very happy to hear
that they’re read to battle him. “Now, as you can see, you have five tiny
missions to finish. You have to climb on Lasin Mountain. First, you have to
answer a question to get in. If you got that question right, you’re going in
perfectly but if you didn’t answer it right you have to battle the guardian.
When you reached certain level, one of you have to answer a question. No matter
who it is or you get it right or wrong, that person have to stay there and
battle. Mero will be the one who deliveries. Now are you all cleared up?”
“Sure.”
“Go
to the Lasin Mountain and help yourselves. Don’t forget, there are five
levels, the first one is the easiest and the last one is the hardest. The test
will get harder by how much you climbed. But Sakura and Li should be the last
one who are fighting with me. If they lost, bad, really bad things will happen.
If someone won at certain level they will get an element by what kind of attack
the test is and Mero have to deliver it to you guys and then he disappears.
After you beat me, Li or Sakura has to place it in the back of my palace that
has five stars on the wall. Those are the shapes of the elements but have
different colors and picture on it. Okay, get on your way now!”
About
ten minutes later, they all reached to Lasin Mountain’s entrance. All of them
including Tori, Julian and Clow Scouts. “Well, here goes.” The guardian
popped out the question on the gate. “Who is the first leader in Magic World?
A: Clow Reed B: Source God C: Dark Shadow D: Blair Witch E: Fairy God. You only
have 3 choices.” “This is so easy,” said Meilin, “It’s A: Clow
Reed.” “Eh, false alarm!” “What? How did that happened?” “I think
it’s Fairy God because it’s cool.” “You’re so childish squirt, I think
it’s Dark Shadow.” “No Tori! He is the bad one!” “Okay, fine! I’ll
decide. It’s Blair Witch.” Said Li but it’s still wrong. Julian turned
into Yue and he plugged in Source God and it was the right answer. The gate
opened and they all went in and started their journey.
“Do
we really have to climb up? I hate climbing!” “Meilin, don’t complain, we
get into this point and it’s a good thing. We shouldn’t be complaining about
anything else you know.” “Li, you always like that telling me what to do
like you’re my father or something like that! Exactly! Now I know what is
wrong with you, you talk like my father and everything he does. You happy
now?” “Not really but I’m fine though.” They began to climb but it’s
not easy as they thought it would be, Meilin almost fell and Madison fell but
Sakura used Fly card to catch her. It’s so hard but they made it to the first
level. They are deciding who is going to stay there and they had a big fight.
Sakura and Li were looking at all those people fighting over who’s going to
stay and they sighed like animated pictures.
