| Sakura and the Awakened Star Key "Rain..it ain't gonna stop anytime soon. But why only in Tomoeda?" Kero wonders. Sakura was setting the table when she had a flashback from the day before. She took her key out and wondered why she couldn't change it into the staff form. Touya came in and cheerfully called her a kaijyuu. However, Sakura was too distressed to retaliate. Surprised and disappointed, Touya sat down and started to read the newspaper. Sakura remembered that Cerberus had asked her to bring Yukito home today, and asked Touya if Yukito would come to their house today. Touya said no. Sakura, in a pinch, desparately tried to think up of an excuse to bring Yukito home. Touya, seeing Sakura looking pained, commented that Yukito might come if there is something good to eat. Sakura happily said that she'll try her best at dinner monitor that evening. Touya consented, as food made by a monster is a rarity. Sakura, feeling better, yelled at Touya, but stoped as she remembered yesterday's incident.... <Title Screen: Sakura and the Awakened Star Key> Kero was looking at the 'Sakura' Book. "That aura I felt at that time...no, it can't be. But... " It was still raining when Sakura arrived at her school. Children were worried that this is phenomenon is happening only in Tomoeda. Naoko happily declared that this must be a supernatural phenomenon. Takashi popped out of no where and said talking about supernatural things reminded him of the biggest mountain in the world located in Antartica. He said that the mountain in there is the most prodigious since penguins have strange powers and they can even fly. Naoko, full of enthuanism, said that they may be aliens. Takashi added that some American mountain climbers saw giant penghins flying overhead. Chiharu sighed and said Takashi was ranting about bunches of lies again. Sakura, despite this rather hyper atmosphere, remained gloomy, wondering why such things are happening. Eriol stopped by her desk(apparently he's the monitor of that morning) and handed her a red flower. "Smile best suits you, Sakura-san," He said. Sakura accepted the flower gratefully. The moment Eriol left Shaorna ran in, screaming "OHAYO!!!" Sakura meekly answered, "Ohayo..." Shaoran angrily glared at Eriol. Eriol noticed Shaoran and smiled at him. Tomoyo came in and said hi to them. Noticing the rather awkward situation and the red flowr in Sakura's hands, she happily commented that the situation has upped again. Sakura and Shaoran were talking about the recent incidents under the school's roof. They talk about the key not converting into the wand form and Shaoran expressed his concern for this bizarre rain. Sakura wonders why strange things are happening again, especially since she had already captured all the cards. Shaoran was worried that a person even stronger than them is behind all this. Touya and Yukito were carrying some printed materials for the teachers. Touya noticed Sakura talking to Shaoran from the highschool building's second floor. He wondered what the hell the brat's doing with his little sister. Yukito said Touya had good eyes, since Sakura and Shaoran were rather faraway. Touya gazed at Yukito and started out, "I have something I want to tell you about..." Nakuru appeared out of thin air and hung on to Touya's neck. "Touya-kun! The teachers said to bring the printouts, the teachers' conference is gonna start!" Touya sighed, then told Yukito to pile his burden on top of his own printouts. Yukito said it might be too heavy, but Touya told him to do it anyway. "Akizuki," Touya started out. "Call me Nakuru!" Nakuru protested. "I can't move." Nakuru, laughing, got off of him. She turned to Yukito to smile evilly at him. "You don't know, do you?" Yukito, startled, stared at her. "In that case, it's mine." She skipped off. Sakura went home, wondering about that "powerful person". SHe met Eriol on her way and thanked him for the flower. Eriol asked her if her problems are solved. Sakura said no, but his flower made her feel much better and asked him if he had bought the flowers. Eriol replied that they came from his garden and told her that she's welcomed to visit anytime she desires. Sakura and Eriol parted at a corner. Sakura looked after him, thinking how sweet he was. Yukito said that Sakura's food was really tasty. Touya started out for his part-time job and Yukito decided to stay behind to help Sakura clean up. Before leaving, Touya looked up at the sky. He frowned and said he didn't like what he was sensing. As soon as Touya left, Kero came up behind Yukito and said, "Return to your true form, Yue." Yukito looked startled, then closed his eyes as the mahoujin appeared beneath him and his body became engulfed with wings. When the wings parted, he emerged as Yue, looking seriously pissed. Kero hesistantly asked him why he's looking like he's cranky from the lack of sleep, and Yue replies that it's tiresome to have different personalities for the true and the false form. Sakuar was coming in with the tea when she noticed Yue and screamed. She offered Yue some tea, but Kero told her that Yue doesn't eat anything. Sakura said that on contrary Kero loved sweets, and Kero said their structure is different and that it was necessary for him. Kero asked Sakura for more tea, and Yue noted that Kero had sent her out on purpose. Kero replied that it was because Sakura wasn't aware of what he was thinking yet. Kero turned into Cerberus and asked Yue about the rain. "Somebody created it on purpose." Yue immediately replied. "I think so, too, but who?" Cerberus than asked Yue if he sensed "his" aura, too. But before Yue had the chance to reply, Sakrua came back with more tea and screamed out "Hoeeee!" When she noticed Cerberus. Yue coldly said, "Just get used to it." <CM break-- Eriol Card!> They're at the playground once again. Sakura looked at her key, worried. She told Cerberus to protect Tomoyo since she was not sure what may happen this time. She stared at Yue, and when he asked her what's wrong, she asked him if Yukito knew about him. Yue replied in negative. Sakur athen asked him if Yue remembered what happened when he was in Yukito's form. Yue replied in affirmative. Saskura thought, sweat dropping, that she still couldn't accept Yue and Yukito as one person. 'Yue-san is gorgeous,' She thought, 'But Yukito-san is... hanyaaaan!' Water attacked Sakura and Yue flew off with her, dodging the water attacks. He created a barrier, but the water penetrated the shield and Yue got knocked into a tree. Sakura, upset, glared at the pool of water at the sky and took out her key. "Key that hides the powr of darkness within thine self-- show thy true powrs in front of us! I, Sakura, commands in accordance to the contract! Release--!" But of couse it wouldn't work. Sakura desperately tried to release the key, but it wouldn't even glow. Cerberus breathed a ball of fire from his mouth, but it got bounced back. "If it can overpowr me...that can only mean...." But before Cerberus can finish his thoughts, Sakura got trapped in a huge tornado of water( that strangely resembled dragon range of gyrados. ^_^;;). Cerberus and Yue tried to help her, but discovered that they could not move at all. "This power..." Yue gasped, trying to help Sakura. Sakura struggled in vain. The whirlpool swiped Tomoyo, Cerberus, and Yue up to the sky, trapping each of them in water tornado as well. Sakura realized that if this goes on, she will... everyone will.... "This can't happen..." She held out her key with determination. "NEVER!" New mahoujin appeared behind her. Cerberus and Yue noticed that it was not that of Clow, but... image of Clow flashes by as Sakura recalled him saying, "This wand... this wand contains a nwe power. Neither the power of the Sun nor that of the Moon, but that of Sakura's own starts..." "Stars..." Sakura repeated. She held out her key and cried out, "O key that embraces the power of the stars within, show thy true powers in front of this one! As the covenant had allowed, Sakura thus orders! Release!" With bright light, the key released into its wand form. The whirlpool exploded, allowing Sakura to descend back to the ground. She lifted Firey to the sky. "Firey!" However, the card limply fell back into the ground. "But why?!" Sakura cried, tears of frustration filling her eyes. The three still trapped in the whirlpools were in critical condition... "New wand..." Sakura lifted the card up. "Card-san, I beg of you. Please lend me your powers.... O card that hath been created by Clow, discard thine old form and be reborn! As Sakura, thy new mistress, commands!" Firey changed into a pink card and released. Huge burst of fire assumed from the card, wrapping around the whirlpools and evaporating the water. It went through the center of the whirlpool in the sky, destroying it. Sakura, dazed, saw her changed wand and caught the descending card, which also had changed. Tomoyo, Cerberus, and Yue asked her if she's all right. Sakura replied that she was okay, and tried to tell them about the changed wand and card, but collapsed. Yue, who was standing in the back of her, caught her. Cerberus asked if she'll be all right, and Yue shortly replied, "Asleep." Cerberus fell down. Yue glanced at the Moon, looking worried. "Something wrong, Yue?" Cerberus asked him. "No." On the other side of the play ground, three shadows watch them in amusement. "Not bad," A faminine voice comments. "To be able to create new cards from the Clow Cards..." A deep voice growls. "That was impressive." The person, whose face is in the shadow, replied, smiling rather sinisterly. <To be continued> Summary written by Wing Zero on August of 2001. CCS and all related logos belong to CLAMP. |
