The Power of Two

By Margaret Chen Li

Chapter Seven

The Awake

“I need help!” Sakura shouted out loud and no one heard her. Then a light came and Miss Mackenzie’s here. “Miss Mackenzie, what you doing here?” “I’m not exactly here Sakura, I’m just here to help you a little and then I’m gone. But I’ll be here when you needed me.” “What do I do Miss Mackenzie? Madison and Li are both fainted, Meilin is taken control by Erina; Tori and Julian and Kero were locked up. I can’t do anything for them!” “Sakura, think math as some puzzles that you’ll never solve.” “I can’t think about math right now! My friends are dying!” “Then there’s nothing I can do.” “Thanks, Miss Mackenzie, you helped me a lot.” “Anytime, Sakura.”

Miss Mackenzie disappeared but Lero is here. “Clow Mistress, I can help.” “How?” “Only you get all the kinds of Sakura Cherry Blossoms then you can help.” “But where do I find them?” “It’s at Low World, it’s pretty dangerous there but do you really want to go?” “No matter what. But you have to watch my friends for a moment.” “Fine with me.”

“Release Fly!” Sakura flew over Source World and headed for Low World. Suddenly she saw a dark light came out of the Low World but she didn’t care about anything so she kept on going. It’s getting really dark so Sakura is trying to get herself warm and she began to call out cards to help. “Glow! Light up the place! Firey! Warm up the place!” Sakura flew over a garden and she stopped and got all the things she needed and she began to head for Source World.

“Stop right there Clow Mistress. I know you knew me, I’m Darken.” “What do you want Darken? Make it fast because I have to go.” “Not so fast Clow Mistress. If you spend one more minute here and say that Dark Magic Is The Power, you will be free and all your friends will be returned but dark will control Source World.” “Sanuri, you’re not getting it that easy.” “I hated when people saying my real name! It’s revenge time!”

“What? I didn’t do nothing to you!” “You did! You stole the most perfect person in the world.” “And who is that?” “You don’t remember because it’s in our early life.” “Tell me about it, it’ll make you feel better.” “Okay. In so early of our lives, there’s a girl who’s really happy and she looks just like you. You guys were The Twin Cards. Then you released but your twin stuck in the card until Dark Shadow released her. She didn’t mind if you left her behind and she wants to be with you and she wants to be your twin sister again. But she got messed up and then your twin turned into a really powerful magic and gave the most precious thing to you.” “I don’t understand you!” “If there is such a person, how come she doesn’t speak herself?” “Yes I do!” “What?” A light came from the symbol on Sakura’s head, Beta. “Hi Sakura, I’m Sakurauchi, your twin sister.” “I don’t believe it! I really hope this is a dream.” “Clow Mistress, dream doesn’t stop anything. Sakurauchi, dear, what do you want to do to your sister?” “Sakura, I’m really disappointed in you, and now I challenge you for a battle.” “Can’t you wait till tomorrow? I’m kinda in a big situation here.” “Sure, three days later, at the stadium in Lasin World.” “Fine with me.”

“Lero! Sorry I’m late, I had a little problem with Darken and now I’m back.” “Now you have to do one more thing, go get the water in Lasin World River.” “’Kay.” “Release Jump! Lero, I think I’ll exercise this time.” Sakura jumped to Lasin World and found the river. “Avalon, I knew you’re here so you better watch out because here I come.” “Wait Erina, before you do anything, please let me go first because I’m helping Li and Madison to get better.” “I don’t care, because now Li is on your side and he ain’t on my side.” “That doesn’t matter!” “That matters to me!” “Okay, Erina, let me get some water and let me go and I’ll challenge you a match later.” “No, you’re not leaving here unless you beat me or I’ll kill all your friends.” “Okay, I accept your challenge.” “Release Fire!” Called Erina. The whole place is full of fire and it almost burned the water. “Release Freeze!” The fire suddenly turned into ice, beautiful but cruel. “Ha, you have some skill but you won’t be long. They Symbol of Epsilon, the life of Tori! Set your spirit gone!” Then Tori’s spirit symbol Epsilon is falling from sky. If that hit the ground, Tori will die. “Release Catch!” The Source Card Catch caught Tori’s spirit symbol and it vanished.

“I think this will teach you a lesson! Release Copies! Copy Sakura and let her hurt herself!” A Sakura appeared and she is copying whatever Sakura does just like The Mirror Card did. Sakura tried to hit the card but she just hit herself and she is hurting pretty bad. “Release Shadow!” The Shadow surrounded the card but the shadow also surrounded Sakura. “I can’t help it!” Then Miss Mackenzie came.

“Sakura, listen, whatever you see isn’t true, you have to discover it yourself.” “How can I do that? It does everything I do!” “Create something for yourself. She doesn’t have the stuff you have.” “Thanks Miss Mackenzie. Release Erase! Erase The Copies Card!” The Erase card erased the card and everything backed to normal. “You’re good at this Avalon, Release Sleepy!” Sakura began to get so tired and she is getting sleepy but she called the last card. “Release Source Energy!” The Source Card The Energy released and she had power to stand up and Erina disappeared.

“Finally I could go back!” “Sakura gathered a cup of the water and headed for the Source World.

“Lero! I’m back! Don’t tell me that I have to find something else and bring it here.” “That’s all we needed. So what happened when you go to Lasin World? You took so long time.” “I had a challenge with Erina which is Meilin.” “Wow, did you win her?” “Of course I did and now all I think is wake up Li and Madison.”

“First, you put all the kinds into the water and let them drink some of the water and they will wake up. I hope.” Sakura put the flower into the water and let them drink it and they all woke up.

“Madison! Li! I’m so happy that you guys are back, you don’t know how much I missed you!” “What happened to us?” “Madison was taken control by Agenda but I beat Agenda so Madison is back but Agenda beat you so both of you fainted. Now I brought you guys back! The only thing I’m worrying now is that Erina is coming here and give us some trouble.” “What happened?” “I had a match with Erina and I won but she disappeared.” “We better beware.” “Right.”

Suddenly there’s a light that came from the symbol on Madison’s head, Gamma. Then Madison backed to normal and her wand got updated. First it was a blue wand with arrow in the end and has a heart in the beginning and now it’s a purple arrow wand with heart in the beginning and has wings. “Madison! Your power is growing! I have nothing to say because I can’t express my happiness.” “Thanks Sakura!”

“I don’t know what happened the rest, I’m really worried about them. Why don’t we go find them?” “We can’t Sakura,” said Lero, “We’ll get caught and we’ll be in big danger.” “I don’t think that is possible. Oh no! I just remembered that I’m going to have a match with my twin sister the day after tomorrow. That is not good!” “What twin sister? You have a twin sister? Why I never head of her?” “It’s a long story and I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Avalon, you think you can get out there fast then you’re wrong! I’m now challenging you another match and this time you’re going to lose!” Sakura is in danger.
