CardCaptors

The Power of Two

By Margaret Chen Li

Chapter Fourteen

Lost friends

Finally, since the first level is the easiest, they decided Tori should stay because he doesn’t have any magic powers but he’s tough. Sakura is so sad that she might lose her brother but they kept climbing and Mero stayed there with Tori. “Another stuffed animal, looks exactly like the first one.” “Hey, you should be polite to older people.” “Older people? You only born a week ago you know.” “Yes but in Cerebus calculation, I’m already 148 years old.” “I don’t think that is possible.” “It’s Magical World Angel Rule number 1, they grow and develop faster than human and it’s 100 hours faster or more.” “Okay whatever, what I do here?” “Answer the question first.”

“What is the best Clow Card to defeat the Source Card The Sky?” “How do I suppose to know this?” “Well, if you don’t, you have fight and learn it.” “Okay how do I do it?” “Go in that portal but I’ll wait here and I’m having a vacation.” “Okay whatever.”

Tori gone into the portal and it leaded him far behind. It looks like he has to go up to the stairs to test this thing. “Okay, here goes.” Tori had been walking for hours but it didn’t seem to be working so he began to jog. But it didn’t work out either so he thinks about something better. “If only I can fly.” Then he’s on the Clow Card Fly and he flew so fast and he reached the top. When he goes in the door it leads him to another place. It’s graveyard, and he is almost buried and he had to get out. Then he had a big fight with the dead and finally he used Fly once again. When he finally got out, he lost a lot of energy. “Mero! I know the answer to that question now! It’s The Fly card!” “Great Tori!” “You passed Clow Mistress’s brother now you earned a white star with a cloud on it. Mero, you can go now, take the element with you. Dark Magic, kill Tori!” “What is that for?” “He has to be killed.” “That is so cruel!” “Well Mero, if you don’t go now I’m going to kill you and Sakura and Li are going to lose. And don’t tell them about Tori’s death or I’ll kill you.” “Okay.” Mero is very scared and he flew around the mountain and found Sakura on the second level.

“Sakura! Tori did it!” “Where is he now?” “Darken invited him to dinner so don’t worry. Now Julian is going to stay isn’t he?” “Mero is just decided for us! Thank you!” Julian stayed and the rest began to climb again. The question is, “What can you do if you’re buried?” Julian turned into Yue and he answered the question correctly. “You use Fly to get out or use Sword to poke yourself out.” Then Darken killed him as usually and Mero got a Black star with the picture of the ground on it.” Mero delivered that as well.

Madison stayed in the third level. This time it is not a question; she gone through the portal and she fell into deep sleep. “Where am I?” Madison wondered when she woke up saw all those weird watery stuff hanging around her. “Oh no! I’m in the deep ocean!” Then she remembered the time when Sakura was capturing the Watery card. “Freeze Card!” The Freeze card froze Madison and the water and then she fell into deep sleep. Then she woke up in her room and her clock says July 20th, 2088. “What? How did I get to year 2088? I was at year 2000 that time!” Then she got downstairs and found a teenage boy sitting around her grand piano drinking vine. “Who are you?” Asked Madison. “Oh, I can’t believe it is true! You’re my grandmother! You died years ago and I never seen you so young and so beautiful before.” “Who are you?” “I’m your grandson Perry.”

“Oh, hi Perry, I’m Madison Taylor.” “I knew but you changed your last name after you got married to Perry Perfect.” “What? I married the one I was ashamed of long time ago! He just a card how come he became real?” “Oh, my mother Nina told me about your story. You were finishing the water element until you fainted and Meilin rescued you and Li and Sakura won Darken. After that, the world had changed, all the impossible things became possible and then you married the one you captured in card then you had my father Perry II and then when he grown up he married my mother Nina. They had me and called me Perry III and then you died. I never seen you before so I was very sad and then grandpa died after you died. This week I’m going to marry a girl named Sakura Showron because she reminded of the girl named Sakura as your best friend.” “Sakura? Can I see her?” “Sure, tomorrow we’re getting married and she will live here. I will be in charge of Taylor Co. and you could help also.” “Thanks Perry.”

All these things were weird like water and she is in deep water and she’s getting deeper. But she saw Sakura Showron but Sakura is same age as her and she looked exactly like Sakura Avalon but her last name is Showron that gives Madison the clue that Sakura married Li after that. “Sakura, is your grandmother named Sakura?”

“Yes grandma Madison.” “You don’t have to call me grandma, I’m same age as you, and you could just call me Madison.” “After they finished their mission, they had an engagement and they moved back to Hongkong. Then they had a water wedding and that means they had a wedding on water. They had twins, a boy and a girl so they named them Li and Sakura the second and the had the next generation just like they were.” “Thanks, is your grandma still alive?” “Yes, so is my grandpa, they were now in Hongkong and they’re going to visit their grandson-in-law tomorrow.” “Okay, I’ll see her then.”

Tomorrow had finally came and Sakura came. She looks like her mother but much older. She’s like 90 years old and she and Li are amazed to see Madison there so young. “This world is gone mad! I don’t believe in a single thing that happens in this world! Watery, Freeze, release and dispel!” Madison call out loud and she’s in the water again. “Ancient water that buried my soul, bring back your own power right now! Water Card, return to your power confined!” Madison captured the Water test card and everything is backed to normal. “That was a close one.” Then there’s a star in Madison’s hand and it’s blue with the picture ocean in it. “I did it!” Soon Mero had the element and she’s long gone and Madison’s body vanished and well, she died also but she will always have a smile on her face.

Meilin stayed in the last level and she go in and everywhere is fire. “I like this, when we were fighting Dark Shadow I used Death Fire to defeat him and this is my favorite fire.” Meilin captured that fire as she was the god of the fire and she got a red star with a picture of fire on it. She smiled as usual and Mero delivered the element to Sakura and Li. Meilin tried to run really fast because she wanted to catch up with Li but Darken caught her anyways. Then he brought Meilin into another place. Tori, Julian, and Madison are there too, they were sitting on a table drinking tea and Madison is waving to her to let her come and join them.

Meilin drank the tea and she became same as all four of them until Darken finally used his power to kill their souls and they will never be returned if Sakura and Li didn’t win the last match. Li and Sakura reached the top of the mountain and saw no one there so they went to the backyard. Mero was there waiting for them to place the elements and they placed them by the colors on the wall but in the center of the stars, there’s a heart shaped place that Li and Sakura needs to place the final element on there to rescue the world. Mero was gone and Darken came. “Welcome Li and Sakura, you finally made it, I can give you a really bad news, all your friends died but if you win this match, all of them will be returned. “What? I think I’m going to faint right now!” Sakura said and she knelt down and she cried. “Sakura, don’t cry, we have a lot things looking in the front of us, if we cave every time we’ll never reach the top of Magic. Come on, I’ll here for you.” Sakura cried on Li’s shoulder but soon she stopped crying and Darken leads them to another room and the final fight is waiting for them.
