The Power of Two

Chapter Fifteen

The fight

“What is this match about?” Asked Sakura. “You have to go into a section in those doors and you have to finish what you should finish. You guys have to go separate doors but if one of you don’t pass, the other one could help but if both of you failed, Earth is mine and if both of you finished each section, you could go in the last door together.” “Okay sounds fun.” Li chose a green door that has a bell on it and Sakura chose a red door that has a book with wings on it. “Have fun Li!” “You too Sakura!”

They all went to their separate ways and Sakura ended up in her house in her room in her bed. She doesn’t remember a thing but she knew it’s the past. “Squirt! It’s seven already! You’re going to be late for school!” “I knew that! Why don’t you tell me earlier?” “Because I told you three times already but you’re just sleeping.” “Okay, gotta go!” Sakura got on her roller blades and she began to roll to school. “Not again! I’m late!” Things seemed happened before but Sakura just couldn’t figure out what is going on. On her way home, she gone to her dad’s library and found this book. “It’s the Clow Book! Now remember, but I can’t release the cards but I can’t not do anything about it then I’ll change the future.” Sakura thought about it for a second and then she found Clow Key hanging around her neck.

“Oh Key of Clow, the power of magic, the power of light, surround the wand, the force ignite! Release! Magic, get Keroberos!” Sakura called out for Kero and Kero came out of the magic book safely and she didn’t release the cards. “Kero! You’re back! I’m so happy!” Sakura hugged Kero but Kero pushed her away and looked at her puzzled. “Who are you?” “I’m Sakura remember? You gave me this wand and I became a Card Captor.” “What do you know about Card Captor?” “Everything.” “I don’t believe you.” “Okay, then I guess we have to release the cards and test my strength.” “No need for that, you have to battle me.” “Sure.” “Earthy, Firey, transform!” Kero transformed but Sakura had all the cards in the magic book.

Sakura had all the Magical World cards from the future and Kero had all the Clow cards in his hand and they’re having an extreme battle.

“Twin!” Kero called out. “Firey, Windy, release and dispel!” Firey and Windy worked together to burn and blow the Twin away and it worked pretty well. “Watery, bury me and Kero and let him remember about the future!” All of the sudden the water buried Kero and Sakura but they could see each other in the water. Sakura’s green eyes are begging Kero to remember about her. Her tears came out with the water. Kero seemed to remember her but he doesn’t know where so he stopped the match and Sakura called Watery back.

“You’re the future Clow Mistress, aren’t you?” “Yes Kero! You remembered!” Sakura was about to hug Kero but she fell and she fainted. When she woke up, Darken appeared. “Sakura, you finished your mission and you can wait for Li to finish his mission.” “Can I watch him?” “Yes, there is a television.”

Not like Sakura, Li went to the future, it’s so sad that no one could ever imagined. He appeared in the front of his apartment but he sees nothing. Everywhere all he sees is blood, darkness, and the people who are half-alive begging for help. As usual, Li went into his apartment and found Wei lying on the kitchen table. “Wei? Fa sheng sheng me shi la?” Li asked him in Chinese about what happened. “Xiaoran? Ni zhou le zhi lou wo men bei Darken sha le.” Wei told him that after he’s gone, Darken killed the world but only a few survived.

“How could this happen?” All of a sudden he remembered about Sakura so he rushed to Sakura’s apartment and found Tori and Julian sleeping on the carpet, almost dead. “Professor Avalon, where is Sakura?” Sakura’s dad Aiden is lying next to the phone and he couldn’t talk. Li run upstairs and found a coffin, the beautiful girl with brown hair and butterfly on her hair is in the coffin. Kero is next to her flying around trying to find another tissue. Tissues are all around the room and Li almost fainted because of that.

“Kero? What happened to Sakura?” “It’s all your fault kid. We were living happily until you told Sakura that you have to go back to Hongkong and marry Meilin. You’re so cruel that you don’t want Sakura to be sad so you told her that you love Meilin. After you and Sakura beat Darken, the Lasin World was changed into Love world and the geography changed because the love between you and Sakura. Then you’re gone so Love world is gone mad because you and Sakura were the god and the goddess. Sakura was mad also so she went to Love world and destroyed it. Or maybe you can say she destroyed everything in Magic World then Mauri and Sauri are gone mad so they destroyed Earth. Not destroying it they just revenge and Sakura was hit by them…”

Li couldn’t believe that happened to him so he wanted a minute alone with Sakura but Kero won’t let him but he told him lot things so Kero fly downstairs and find something to eat.

Li sat down next to Sakura, look into her closed eyes. “Sakura, I never thought this would be happening. I always know that I’ll be there for you. If this really happened, don’t blame me, cause of fate that doesn’t believe in the love between us. The first time I saw you I knew that you’re the girl for me but I thought about my family and Meilin, I can’t just cancel the engagement so I act like I always ignore you. Then I found out that you’re a strong, nice, beautiful, very charming girl so I fall in love with you. Then you knew what happened next. Four years we’ve been fighting and I never had much time for you. I never thought that I’m so cruel; I will swear to god that I will never leave you.” Then Li kissed Sakura on the lips very gently.

Two pearl big tears came out of Sakura’s eyes and her face turned from pale into pink. Her lips are red than ever and Sakura opened her big green eyes and looked into Li’s amber eyes. “Li!” “Sakura? You’re not dead?” “I was but your voice gone into my soul and tell me to wake up. This is like the sleeping beauty story!” Sakura hugged Li and Li hugged Sakura. Li carried Sakura downstairs and everyone is happy to see the great couple again. The world seemed to be alive again, sun rose and everything gone back to normal, suddenly, there’s a heart appeared into Li and Sakura’s hands then Li was brought back to present life.

Sakura still have the heart in her hand and Li walked her to the backyard of Darken’s secret palace and put the star in the selected place. But there’s still a big heart in the middle that they have to compete. Now Li and Sakura knew more about Love and they will make it the greatest day of the world.

“Now, Clow Master, Mistress, you finished your mini mission and now you have to battle me right now.” “Fine.” “I’m not easy to defeat you know.” “We knew,” said Li and Sakura together, “and our love is undefeatable. If you want to beat us, fine, I knew we will win.”

Darken almost caved; he saw those sparkling stars in Li and Sakura’s eyes telling him that they are the best couple in the world and no one is going to stop their love.

The sun rose and the time almost come, to be the very ultimate battle to begin. Li and Sakura are now not afraid; they knew that love is more than anything. Darken is looking forward to the very time he’s going to kill them. Who will win?
