DISCLAIMER: This 'essay' is made by me. Card Captor Sakura characters belong to CLAMP, and I used them without their consent (like, anyone did?). The names of the elements mentioned here is purely imaginative, and I assure you, there are no such element in nature that even resembles any of the elements I will mention.
LEGEND: [out-of-story note]
STORY:
I fixed my glasses as I nervously went towards a podium. It was the end of the sememster, and my final essay is going to be judged in front of the University Council. I stood on the podium, put my essay on it, and cleared my throat.
"Mr. Dawn, I presume?" a member of the Council queried.
"Yes." I replied.
He examined the paper he was holding in front of him, then looked sternly into my eyes. "Your essay is about a presentation of the Chemistry involved in elements found in the Card Captor Sakura realm, am I correct?" he asked.
I gulped. His voice was as cold as ice. And if I replied slow or stuttered, I will surely lose points. "Yes."
"Okay," he said as he nodded and laid back onto his comfortable chair. "You may begin."
I cleared my throat again before opening my essay paper and started reading.
"Card Captor Chemistry
Over the years, we have known that the most elements found Sakuranium (Sk) and Syaoranium (Sy). Attempts at combining these elements have so far been futile. But, as research indicated, Sakuranium and Syaoranium CAN be combined. All they need is a catalyst.
If one put a portion of Sakuranium and an equal portion of Syaoranium, it will tend to separate, like oil and water. Soap can be used to break the tension so that oil and water can mix. To mix Sakuranium and Syaoranium, an element called Tomoyonium (Tm) is required. Apparently, Tomoyonium is not dissolved into the mix, thus justifying the fact that it is only a catalyst.
Other researchers had also found this phenomenon, and was looking for the product of the mix. A colleague found two new elements that have not been named, and some only found one. This is not unusual because the two new elements can almost be called twins [guess who this collegue of mine is]. But we're not going to talk about the second generation [there goes another clue].
Along with the discovery of the first three elements, other elements are found as easily. Those that have been found until now are Meilinium (Ml), Touyalium (To),Fujitakalium(Fj), Kerochanium (Ke), Yukitonium (Yk), Keroberosium (Kb), Yuelium (Yl), Eriolium (Er), Suppychanium (Su), Nakurum (Nk), Spinelsunium (Sp), and Rubymoonium (Rm).
Interesting things happen in the mix of Sakuranium or Syaoranium with Meilinium. The mix of Meilinium and Sakuranium produces an explosion, no matter what the combination. While mixing it with the latter produces a gaseous form of Syaoranium, while Meilinium becomes boiled.
Sakuranium and Touyalium mixes are the most bizarre. Sometimes there are flickers, sometimes the product is a gaseous form of both. No catalyst have been found to make these two elements join, though small concentration of the mix can be catalyzed using Fujitakalium. Mixes of Syaoranium and Touyalium seem to produce almost the same explosion like Meilinium and Sakuranium, but of different intensity and color.
Fujitakalium is the most interesting element of all. It seems to have the atoms required to produce both Sakuranium and Touyalium, but another element is definately needed. This element have not been found, presumably because of its very short life. Colleagues agree to name this mysterious element Nadeshikonium (Nk).
Kerochanium seems to be the primary element of the creation of Keroberosium, for no other element can produce it. To produce Keroberosium, one must mix Kerochanium with enough earth and burn the mix with enough heat. After a while, Keroberosium will degrade back into Kerochanium.
Yukitonium also seems to be the primary element for Yuelium, but its creation are a bit difficult. By mixing it with water and leaving it in the wind, the mix will produce a very short living isotope of Yuelium. A quick mix of Touyalium will stabilize the Yuelium and making it last longer. After a while, like Keroberosium, Yuelium will degrade back into Yukitonium, but when it is turned into Yuelium again, it won't need more Touyalium to survive. Experts still have doubts how this can happen, and agree that the last Yukitonium is not the same as the first Yukitonium. Therefore, Yukitonium that has been turned into Yuelium is renamed as Yukitonium X (YkX).
Eriolium somehow has some of the atoms required to produce Syaoranium, Keroberosium, Yuelium, Spinelsunium, and Rubymoonium, but a lot of other atoms are also found in Syaoranium, Keroberosium, and Yuelium. Research indicates that it is possible that a series of mixes beginning with a type of Eriolium will someday produce Syaoranium, but the mixes to create pure Keroberosium and pure Yuelium is still unknown. This new type of Eriolium is still mysterious, and experts agree to name it Clowreadium (Cw). Eriolium also seem to be a major element. It can affect other elements which will I mention now.
Nakurum can either be acid or base, but certainly not neutral. A few drops of Eriolium into half a cc of Nakurum will produce energy and Rubymoonium. This Rubymoonium can survive much longer than Yuelium, though they seem to have some common features. Even though, Rubymoonium WILL turn back into Nakurum when all the Eriolium added into it has been turned into energy.
Suppychanium has a striking similar structure with Kerochanium, and also like Nakurum, if exposed to a certain volume of Eriolium, will turn into Spinelsunium, which structure also resembles Keroberosium. Like Rubymoonium, Spinelsunium will also degrade back to Suppychanium after all the Eriolium has been turned into energy.
There have also been reports of strange phenomena when different elements are mixed with elements not from the Card Captor Sakura realm. One that has been widely known is listed.
A mix of glucose or any other form of sweet with Kerochanium or Suppychanium produces the strangest of phenomena, especially Suppychanium. Glucose-contaminated Kerochanium will produce bubbles of unknown gas and the element tend to heat. The heat can be so extreme that in one experiment, it melted the reaction tube, which is made from glass.
Glucose-contaminated Suppychanium produces about the same phenomena with Kerochanium until the limit what researchers call the 'Suppy Sweet Limit'. If glucose is added over this limit, after a second or two, a huge explosion will happen. The most recent...uh, earthquake we felt was the chemistry lab shuddering from the explosion. This explosion will send drops of exaggerated Suppychanium all over the place, and will start to devour anything that contains glucose. Touching this exaggerated form of Suppychanium with a human body part can cause the loss of flesh up to a whole finger.
The colors of the elements are also different. Sakuranium is bright pink while Syaoranium is bright green. Tomoyonium is clear. Meilinium, Nakurum, and Rubymoonium are of red hue, increasing in depth from left to right. Touyalium is sky blue. Fujitakalium, Yukitolium, Yuelium, and Eriolium are white, with strikes of black and gray. Kerochanium and Kero-berosium are orange to yellow, while Suppychanium and Spinelsunium are black to orange.
Mixes of the elements don't always mean mixes of the colors, as proofed with the experiments presented above.
The elements of the Card Captor Sakura realm are too complicated to be stated in one paperwork. The mixes are just too much, and there are also yet-to-be-found elements code-named as Makium (Mk), Naokolium (Nk), Chiharum (Ci), Rikalium (Rk), Teradalium (Tr), Yamazakium (Yz),..."
"That's enough, Mr. Dawn." one of the Council stopped me.
I gulped. BAD SIGN! Stopped in the middle of a readout is a real BAD SIGN!
"We'll inform you about the results of this judgement." another Council member said. "Now, if you please step down from the podium and go outside, as we still have a number of people after you."
I gulped. Sighing, I stepped down from the podium and walked limply to the door.
"Why the glum look, Mr. Dawn?" A voice suddenly came behind me.
I turned and saw a beautiful lady, the Head Council, the Head of the University. "I, uh..." I couldn't move my tongue to reply, because I've said so much up on the podium.
The Head Council smiled as she patted my on the shoulder. "Great presentation. Your paper is the best we've heard so far. Keep on the good work." she said.
At that time, I felt relief as if someone had lifted the world off my shoulder.
Author's Note: Well, how do you like it? Of course, this is absolutely fantasy. There's no way I'd be able to present this kind of essay in front of any university's Council as an end-of-term paperwork. The 'essay', as you can see, isn't completed here. That's because it's still about a few Kbytes more. Well, I'll have to cut it here. What do you think? Come on, suggest me something. How about the mixes of some other combination of elements, or even a new one? I accept anykind of comments, may it be flames, praises, or just plain comments.
