Sakura and a Bumpy Plane Ride
(Episode I)
Sakura arrived at Tomoyo's house. Tomoyo quickly came out to welcome her. "Sakura-chan!" "Tomoyo-chan!!" They both smiled and hold hands. Sakura then said, "Are you ready for the trip tomorrow?" "I sure am." Tomoyo pointed behind her and there were a lot of big suit cases. "Don't you think that's a bit too much?" Tomoyo pulled out three suit cases. "I only packed these. The rest are all the new costumes I made for you. We are sure to get good shots on Hong Kong." Sakura smiled with an anime drop…They entered Tomoyo's room. Kero came out of Sakura's bad and saw a big strawberry cake. Tomoyo smiled at Kero and said, "Eat as much as you want. That cake is for you." "Woo hoo!!!" Kero rushed right into the cake. "You are still a great cook!" said Kero while chewing on the cake. The night came and Sakura stayed at Tomoyo's house. While sleeping Sakura was tossing and turning. Sakura was having a dream. A dark shadow ran pass Sakura and there was a little girl crying. Since the shadow vanished Sakura went to check on the girl. While Sakura neared the girl, the girl started saying, "It stole from me!" She kept crying. "That thing stole from me!" Sakura tried to calm the girl down. "Excuse me. Are you okay?" The girl stood up and turned into The Little card. Several evil laughs sounded all around. As the laughs stopped all of the Sakura-cards' physical forms appeared surrounding Sakura. Light and Dark appeared right in front of her. Light said with a sad face, "They stole from all of us." "We need your help" followed Dark. Sakura got worried and said, "But what did they steal? How can I help?" At that moment Sakura's alarm clock rang and she woke up?
… … …
At the airport Touya was helping with Sakura's luggage. They finally found the plane and Touya left Sakura's stuffs with the airport staff. He put his hand on his sister's head. "Well, take care monster." Sakura got mad and stomped on his foot. Yukito put his hand on Touya's shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll be there for her." They all waved as Touya left. Soon the plane arrived so they quickly boarded. Sakura's seat was next to Syaoran's on the very back of the plane. Sakura was looking through the window as the plane ascended. She smiled as she got further and further away from the land. Tomoyo had her camera out as always trying to film Sakura's happiest moments. The flight assistant stood up and explained everyone the safety rules. After he finished explaining the flight movie began.
While everyone was watching the movie and Kero was eating Sakura's food ("Mmm…Airplane food") Sakura was looking at the different shapes of the clouds through the window. She smiled at the funny shapes she was able to spot. Then she noticed a dark gray cloud that almost seemed to be black. "Hmm…What a weird cloud?" At that precise moment Sakura felt something shocking and Syaoran quickly looked at her. "Sakura!!" Suddenly, that dark cloud moved and rapidly entered the plane. It rushed right to where Sakura was and started pushing the Sakura-cards against the back of the plan. Everyone on the plane was blinded due to the dark cloud but Sakura was only worried about her cards. She desperately started pulling her bag of cards. The wall on the back started to bend. The cloud then started to crack until finally it shattered. Numerous shadows came out of the cloud and started flying far away. Sakura saw the shadows coming out of the cloud. "Those …Those are the same shadow in my dream." Soon the remaining of the cloud cleared and the flight assistants tried to calm the people down.
Sakura sensed that two of the shadows were still on the plane. They seemed to be on the pilot's cabin. Sakura stood up and went inside one of the plane's bathrooms. Inside she pulled out the key on her necklace. "Oh, key that hides the power of the starts, reveal your true form before me. I, Sakura command you under our contract. Release!!" Sakura's key turned into a staff. She grabbed it and pulled one of her cards. "Sleep!!" The Sleep card appeared and put everyone to sleep except for Sakura's friends. As Sakura came out, Syaoran pulled out his sword, Kero turned into his beast from and Yukito turned into Yue. Tomoyo pointed her camera at Sakura and cheered, "Go Sakura!" Sakura kept walking towards the pilot's cabin. Suddenly, the door to the cabin opened and the co-pilot came out running. He was running towards Sakura to try and ram her. Syaoran quickly tossed a talisman into the air and pushed it with his sword. "Element Wind!!" A strong wind came out of the talisman and holds the co-pilot against the wall. At that moment a tall woman came out of the pilot's cabin. She was about 7 feet tall and had long black hair.
She was wearing a black gown, her skin was white as snow and her eyes were like black spheres. She stretched her hand at the co-pilot then moved it towards Syaoran. As she did that, a purple aura came out of the co-pilot and jumped into Syaoran's body. He became filled with anger, pulled his sword and tried to attack the now sleeping co-pilot. Yue quickly rushed and grabbed Syaoran. He started punching and kicking to se himself free from Yue's grasp. Tomoyo was watching and filming everything and suddenly her celphone rang. "Hello?" "Tomoyo-chan, tell Sakura to seal those as cards." "Eriol-kun?" Eriol, who was watching them through a crystal ball from his house, hung up the phone and smiled. Ruby Moon and Spinel were behind him, watching as well. Back on the plane, Tomoyo was still a bit surprised by the call. She then came to her senses and shouted, "Sakura-chan! Eriol said you have to seal them as cards!!" Sakura turned and looked at Tomoyo. "Eriol-kun?" Sakura looked at Tomoyo with a sure face and nodded. She ran towards that tall woman and raised her staff. "Return to the form…" Right then, another tall woman appeared.
She was about 7 feet tall and had long white hair. She was wearing a white gown, her skin was dark as coal and her eyes were like white spheres. She rushed and pulled the darkly dressed woman out of the way. She kept trying to pull her to safety. Keroberous jumped and blocked their exit breathing fire at them. Simultaneously, Sakura ran toward the two women and Syaoran freed himself from Yue's grasp. Syaoran raised his sword to slash the co-pilot as Sakura raised her staff. "Return to the form you were meant to be!!" The purple aura that was inside Syaoran left him and went back to the pale woman; then a yellow aura left the pilot's body and went back to the dark woman. Syaoran came to his senses. The two women turned into black shadows and got sealed into two cards. The cards were black all around and their backs were like dark mirrors. The card with the dark woman in it stated "The Yin" and the card with the pale woman in it stated "The Yang". The floor suddenly started to tremble and decline.
The plane was falling and the pilot had fainted. Sakura tossed a card into the air. "Windy! Stopped the plane from falling!" Windy appeared and started surrounding the plane until finally she grabbed hold of it and moved it to its rightful position. Sakura stared at the two black cards that were floating in front of her. The scene on Sakura's dream were all the Sakura-cards were surrounding her quickly passed to her mind and one of the cards started glowing through Sakura's eyes. Sakura was quiet; she was listening. She stood up grabbing her staff tightly. "Alright! Let's do it!" She holds a card right in front of her face then flipped it revealing The Libra card. "Now! Time to retake what from you was stolen! Libra!!" The Libra card appeared and started to glow. The drawings on the two black cards disappeared, and then a white smoke came out of them and into Libra. Libra started glowing a bit brighter and the two black cards shattered to pieces. Each piece kept shattering until they completely vanished. Libra went back to being a card and fell on Sakura's hand. Sakura smiled at the card. "You are welcome Libra." Yue and Kero went back to their false forms and everyone went back to their seats. Windy kept carrying the plane to the airport and when she landed everyone woke up.
At Hong Kong's airport Sakura, Tomoyo and Syaoran gathered to talk about what happened with Kero. Kero looked at them with a serious face and started telling a story. "Hmm…Those cards…I know where they came from. This is what Clow Reed told us long ago. Before he created us, Clow lived alone with the Clow-cards. Many sorcerers, magicians and wizards tried to compete to match Clow Reed's level of magic. One day a nameless wizard tried to challenge Clow but he was defeated easily. Naturally, Clow let him go but the wizard didn't give up. He had seen how powerful the cards were so he decided to make some of his own. In 10 years he had created as many cards as Clow Reed but the cards he created had no power. They were just empty shells of black magic. When he faced Clow Reed for the second time he used all his empty cards to steal magic from the Clow-cards. Clow was actually very surprised by this and got caught off guard. The wizard now had his own set of Black-cards. Each with its own ability taken away from a Clow-card. Still, Clow faced him with his weakened Clow-cards and defeated him. Using powerful magic Clow trapped each of the Black-cards away where he thought no one would find them. By sealing them he restored the balance between light and dark because those cards were made of black magic.
Learning from that experience, Clow created me and Yue to help protect his Clow-cards." Syaoran started thinking and said, "But now that the Black-cards have been freed the balance between light and dark must be upset again." Kero closed his eyes and replied, "And if the empty shells of the Black-cards aren't destroyed an even bigger chaos than the one from Yue's judgment might descend upon the Earth." Sakura got really worried about that. She then remembered, "But the shadows flew away while we were up in the plane. They could be anywhere." "But we have to find them." said Syaoran. Kero smiled at Sakura. "Sakura, remember that you recovered Libra's stolen power? Libra should now be able to detect disturbances between light and dark." Sakura gasp. "So you think Libra can find the black cards?" Yukito came by and said, "The taxi is here. Let's go!" Syaoran then looked at Sakura. "Well, I guess we better settle down and rest because we have a big journey ahead of us." Sakura smile at Syaoran. They all got inside the taxi. The taxi started and left the airport.
