Summary: Sakura and her friends are chasing after the Earthy card, but it slips through their fingers and turns into a long pursuit to none other than California in a city called Blue Bay Harbor where they meet people in multi colored uniforms? What happens when the Earthy card goes after the ninja storm rangers?

Important Note: I changed Where the Cardcaptor characters live. Instead of them living all the way in Japan, I made them live in America in the state of Nevada. It's so it makes more sense for the Cardcaptor characters to bump in to the rangers. It wouldn't make sense if they lived in Japan and met the ninja storm rangers if the rangers live all the way in California, America. You get my point? So just imagine that the Cardcaptor characters always lived in Nevada, America for the sake of this plot.

Thunder Meets Lightning

A Power Rangers Ninja Storm and Cardcaptors crossover

Chapter 1: Expecting the Unexpected

Ah~, a new house! I'm Sakura Avalon, a Cardcaptor. My family and I just moved in to a new house which is more like a mini mansion when looking at it. Even though we moved into a new house, we still live in Readington, Nevada; we just moved two streets over from our old house. We needed a bigger one so Julian could move in and have enough room. Julian and my brother, Tori are dating and since Julian's grandparents are on travel a lot, we all decided it would be good for Julian to move in with us. That way he won't be so lonely all the time, and he and Tori can spend more time together. Our house is beautiful! It's two stories and it's in my two favorite colors, pink and white, the roof being a dark gray. I'm so close to capturing all the Clow cards, I can feel it.

Right now I have twenty-six of them, and if there are fifty-two in all that means I need twenty-six more in order to have captured them all. At the moment Madison, Lee, Kero, and I are in Readington Park trying to capture the Earthy card, which is a lot tougher than I thought it was gonna be.

The ground shakes causing Madison to make sounds of distress and fall to the ground. Then the ground began to crack and split, and was making its way towards Madison.

Sakura's eyes widen and she let out a gasp. "Madison, look out!" She shouted for her to get out of its path, but when she didn't Sakura ran over to her, grabbed her hands to pull her up, and they ran out of the way. "Come on!" Sakura said before they ran out of its path. "You okay?" She asked her as they stood in a safer spot to the right of the crack.

Madison nodded. "Mmhmm." She answered a bit shaken up.

"Sakura, over there!" Lee exclaimed now behind them.

The girls looked over to where Lee was looking and saw a mountain rising out of the earth.

As the trio gazed at it in amazement and worry, Kero now hovered by them with a grave look on his face. "Earth card." Kero stated in determination. The Earthy card began to raise mountains of earth all over town and making the ground rumble and shake, making people run in distress and fear.

"We gotta check things from the sky." Sakura stated as she took off her Clow key necklace and held it in front of her in her hand. "Key of Clow, power of magic, power of light, surrender the wand, the force ignite, release!" The Clow key elongated in to the sealing wand. Sakura grabbed it and raised her other hand to have a card appear in it. Then she threw it in front of her and slammed the head of the wand on it. "Fly!" She called out before the small wings on the staff grew to large ones and she mounted the staff. "Get on!" She called to her friends Lee and Madison followed. They then took to the sky, Kero flying alongside them.

"It's weak against wind." Lee supplied sitting right behind Sakura, Madison being behind him with her camcorder.

Sakura nodded. "Okay, I'll try and get as close to it as I can while you attack it."

Lee nodded in agreement. "Kay, be careful."

"Will." She replied as she flew towards one of the mountains of earth. When she got as close as she could to it Lee dug in his pocket to take out a sutra and unsheathed his sword. He faced to the side and threw the sutra in front of him and held his sword out in front of him holding it sideways.

"Element: wind!" Lee exclaimed before a gust of wind came out of the rectangle shaped piece of paper and went straight for the mountain of earth. The strong wind caused the mountain to crack and shatter to the ground. That got Earthy's attention. The Earthy burst through the ground and morphed into a long neck with a dragon-like head with spikes of earth all over.

Sakura stopped to where she was just levitating. "There it is; Earthy's true form." Said Kero ominously.

Lee got out another wind sutra, preparing to strike again, but the Earthy card retracted its neck back into the ground and began taking off under the ground. That took everyone by surprise.

"Whoa, Kero! What's it doing?" Madison asked while filming the whole thing on her camcorder.

"It knows we have the upper hand, so it's trying to lose us so we can't stop it. Don't let it get away Sakura!" Kero said motivating her.

"Right! Hold on!" Sakura stated as she flew quickly forward to chase after the card. Three minutes into the chase and Sakura and her friends are beginning to think the card is heading towards another state. "Kero, is it going where I think it's going?" Sakura posed in dread.

Kero is growing more worried now. "If so we are in for a lot of trouble."

"It's heading for California. That's one of America's most populated and busy states!" Said Madison greatly worried.

"We have to catch it before it does any damage." Lee stated with determination. They all agreed and continued the pursuit. Within the fifty minutes it took to get to California from Nevada, they lost sight of the card and began tracking it with Lee's Lasin board.

Blue Bay Harbor, California, Ninja Ops

Cam's alarm goes off from his computer. He presses a button on the control panel and a part of town comes up on screen showing little earthquakes coursing through the ground causing the ground to crack and split open along with mountains of earth rising from the ground causing panic and fear. He frowned and pressed another button on the control panel, holding this one down.

"We got trouble, guys. Come to Ninja Ops quickly."

Blue Bay Park

The five rangers were hanging out at the park when they received Cam's call.

"Shane! As much as I like that, it's a tad hard to fully enjoy it with our friends right over there." Dustin giggled as his boyfriend laid kisses up and down his neck, sucking on it here and there.

Shane smiled. "They're not paying any attention to us, relax, babe." He continued to mouth Dustin's neck.

Dustin let out a sigh to relax and closed his eyes then tilted his head to the opposite side Shane was on enjoying the feeling of his boyfriend's mouth on him. He let out a soft moan when Shane hit a sensitive spot with his tongue and nipped it. Shane smirked and decided to hit another sensitive spot with good pressure, resulting in making Dustin moan again, but this time longer and sexier than the first, turning Shane on. Sadly, this is when Shane's communicator went off. Both boys groaned in protest at having to stop. Shane unwrapped his arms from Dustin, who turned around to face him, and held down the communicator button to hear Cam's voice pour through it.

"We got trouble, guys. Come to Ninja Ops quickly."

"On our way." Shane answered a bit reluctant and gathered his friends to head back to base.

Ninja ops

"Wow…" Tori said stunned.

"What is all that?" Dustin asked in wonder and surprise. They were looking at the footage from the city cams on Cam's computer to see a breakout of mini earthquakes and large mountains of earth popping out of the ground randomly sending people to the ground and making anything on the ground be swallowed up by the earth from the ground splitting. It was shocking to them seeing this and not seeing any visible monsters in sight causing it.

Cam shook his head slowly. "Who knows. From what I can tell, there are no monsters in the area. But this is way too unnatural for it to be a normal occurrence."

"This doesn't seem like Lothor's style, unless he got some tips of some kind and upped his game." Hunter stated confused.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like the normal attacks we're used to, so when we get down there, watch your backs and be careful. Who knows what this is capable of." All the rangers agreed and began to morph.

"Ninja Storm, ranger form, ha!"

"Thunder Storm, ranger form, ha!"

"Samurai Storm, ranger form, ha!"

And they were off to fight a force unknown and to meet some unexpected friends. When they got to the area of town that was chaotic, they were blown away by how much chaos there was.

"Dude! This is crazy!" Blake commented in shock.

"No kidding!" Said Shane.

"Hey, guys, I think I see something moving over there." Tori pointed. All the rangers looked north-west of them and saw a mountain of spikey earth come out of the ground rapidly and getting taller and taller. Then suddenly a head formed, which looked like a dragon or a serpent's head. When it was done forming, it looked down at the rangers, looking very intimidating.

"That thing's the size of a skyscraper!" Hunter exclaimed.

"What is it?" Dustin asked.

"An earth dragon?" Tori guessed.

"Look out, the ground!" Shane warned. The Earthy card was sending a major crack through the ground towards the rangers, planning to knock them off their feet. This was the first time in a long time that the rangers had no idea what to do. They were in major trouble.

Sakura and her friends were not far off from where the rangers were. They were a few miles away. Lee had his lasin board in his lap, them following the beam of light emitting from it for a while now. Earlier the beam was very thin because of a weak connection from them being so far from the card, but now the beam of light is getting thicker as they continue in the direction they are currently going.

Lee smiled and looked ahead at Sakura. "We're getting close. We should see it somewhere soon."

Everyone smiled. "That's great news; we've almost been flying for an hour." Sakura replied.

"Yeah, I kind'a figured we've been in the air for a long while considering Kero is asleep on my shoulder." Said Madison before looking over fondly at the sleeping guardian on her shoulder. Sakura giggled while Lee just shook his head in slight amusement. After flying five minutes longer, they finally began to see Earthy.

"There it is!" Sakura said in relief. That woke Kero up.

"What's goin' on?" Kero said still slightly fatigued.

"We found Earthy." Madison supplied.

Kero leaped up and began hovering again. "Alright! Let's capture us a Clow card!" He said happily while doing a fist pump towards the sky.

"It's in its true form again." Lee stated.

Kero looked surprised by that. "Huh…that's strange."

"What?" Sakura asked.

"Clow cards only show their true forms when they're challenged by someone with magic."

"So you mean…" Madison started.

Kero nodded his cute little head. "Someone with powers is fighting the Earthy card."

The Cardcaptors and Madison were astonished by that. Who could be fighting the Earthy? Are they Cardcaptors like them? What magic do they have? All of this went through Sakura's head as she came up behind the card. When they got closer, not only did they see the Earthy, but they also saw six people in colorful suits along with helmets: One green, one dark blue, one red, one light blue, one dark red, and one yellow. Were they the ones with magic and challenged the Earthy?

"Hey, guys…there are people in colored suits down there, and I think they're the ones fighting Earthy." Sakura stated in wonder.

"Yup, they most definitely are. I sense magical energy from them. Be careful, we don't know their intentions." Kero said.

"Don't worry, Kero, we will." Madison assured. They were close to landing, and close to meeting these unique looking people trying to fight what they probably don't know is a Clow card.

The rangers were knocked down once again for the fourth time in ten minutes. If they don't figure out something soon, they're done for.

"What do we do?" Tori asked feeling helpless.

"I think our last option would be the zords." Shane decided.

Then Blake sees something in the sky in the distance. "Guys…what is that?"

The other rangers looked in the direction Blake was looking and saw….they weren't quite sure what, but they did see one thing they recognized: wings, big ones.

"Dude…is that a…bird?" Dustin asked confused. It became easier to see when it got a bit closer.

"No, dude…it's…people." Hunter stated in surprise and amazement.

"They're coming in our direction." Said Cam, not believing what he's seeing.

It was two girls and a boy around their age flying on a…staff of some kind? When they got close enough to land, they landed right in front of them. Only until they were right in front of them could they finally make out the details. One of the girls had light brown hair that framed her face perfectly and only came down to her shoulders and had blue-green eyes; She wore her hair in a cute up-do of high pony-tails, one on the left side and one on the right, that was held by hair ties that had two red spheres attached; She wore a very feminine white shirt with five small buttons running down the middle along with a row of ruffles going down the left and right side of the buttons. It was paired with a red pleated skirt that came down to the mid-thigh and she had on red sandal shoes with a thick red band that went over the foot just below the toes and a band that went around the ankles with a ribbon tied into a bow on it.

To a straight guy, she was drop dead gorgeous; to a gay guy, she made them feel envious of her fantastic fashion sense and fun-loving persona. The second girl had long charcoal black hair, her eyes being the same color; she wore a pretty yellow dress with ruffled sleeves and the dress had a deep V-neck which lets you see the green short sleeved shirt with a turtle neck, the dress having a big green bow in the back to match and had on white socks with yellow flat shoes. She was also very pretty.

The boy had light brown hair as well that was short and didn't go past his ears and had amber eyes. He wore a short sleeved blue shirt with white trim and an orange collar coming out from it paired with some light brown pants with white, orange, and black tennis shoes. All three of them had ivory skin.

When they landed, the Fly card removed itself from the staff's originally small fake wings, making it look normal again. Sakura and her friends stood in front of the rangers now, who looked surprised and awe-struck. The rangers didn't seem to notice Kero flying just above them because they looked surprised when he spoke.

"Hey, sorry for the trouble here, folks, we've got it from here." Kero said nonchalantly as he flew closer down to Sakura and her friends.

"Did that thing just talk?" Shane said in amazement.

Kero's ear twitched in annoyance. These humans just don't understand him, do they? He turned back towards the rangers, annoyance clear on his face. "I am not a thing! I am Cerberus, guardian beast of th-!"

"Kero!" Sakura interrupted. "We don't have time for that right now, we have a bigger issue."

Kero huffed, trying to calm himself and refocus on the task at hand. He turned around to face the Earthy with Sakura and the others. "Alright, Sakura, focus all your energy on this one. We can't risk it getting away again."

"Right," Sakura agreed and threw a card in front of her, slamming the head of the wand on it. "Windy, become a chain and tie Earthy up! Release and dispel!"

A magical circle appeared on the ground below her and energy started blowing around it. Then something came out of the card which was lit up with bright light on the ground. It advanced towards the creature made of rock and dirt and wrapped around it, effectively binding it to where it couldn't move as freely, but it still tried to.

"Alright, now seal it!" Kero encouraged, happy this whole chase was finally over.

"Return to your power confined, Earthy card!" She said while swinging the wand back and then forward, a card shrouded in light appearing at the head of the staff. Both creatures got sucked into the card, two cards moved on their own through the air to Sakura, her reaching out a hand to hold both of them.

Kero pumped his fist up then down happily. "Alright!"

Madison smiled and ran over closer to her – Madison filming the whole thing previously – with her camcorder in hand. "That was an excellent capture!"

"Well done on another capture, Sakura." Lee replied with a smile.

Sakura smiled. "Thanks! I couldn't have done it without you guys," Then Sakura remembered the people in colored suits behind them, and she turned around to gaze at them, her friends following, seeming to just remember them as well. Sakura and her friends couldn't tell because of their helmets, but the rangers had looks of shock, awe, surprise, and amazement on their faces. And one particular ranger couldn't keep their eyes off Lee. Sakura looked at all of them awkwardly slightly embarrassed. "Oh, right…" She was unsure of what to say, but one of the rangers saved her the trouble.

"We, uh….we should talk. Come to base with us." Shane decided.

Cam wasn't so sure on that idea, so he walked over to Shane and whispered. "Are you sure that's a good idea? We don't know them. Bringing strangers into Ops is strictly prohibited because of all the numerous risks."

"Cam, they saved our lives and the town. I think they deserve to be invited to chat. Don't tell me you don't want to after all that we saw." Shane said, trying to convince him.

Cam thought about it then sighed. "Alright, but if anything bad happens, you take responsibility."

"Fine, fine," Shane answered then looked back over to the younger strangers. "So you coming?"

"Yeah, I guess." Lee answered.

"Follow us." Said Blake as they began to leave.

Ninja Ops

They were all now in the main chamber of ninja ops, the rangers still morphed. Kero flew around the main chamber of their base impressed.

"Impressive place you got here." He complemented.

"Thanks." Dustin replied happily.

"Alright, guys, time to unmorph." Shane stated. The Cardcaptors gazed at them in interest, wondering what they look like. All the rangers had a burst of light come from their chest then their uniforms shattered off of them like glass, and now stood five handsome young guys and a pretty girl. Shane gestured to the low table in front of him with his hand for their guests to have a seat. "Please, have a seat." He offered politely. They all then sat on the pillows surrounding the low table. The three wind rangers sat on the left side of the table while the thunder rangers and Cam sat on the right side. Sakura, Madison, and Lee sat at the head of the table facing the super computer a few feet ahead of them, Kero sitting on the table in front of them. It seems the Cardcaptors have a lot of explaining to do.
