The American Card
Yo! Ohayou! WASSSSSUUPPP! *hehe* Hey, Trmpetplaya1 here! I know, I know, the name reeks of unoriginality (meaning it's bad!) but I felt like writing a story about _______. 'What?' you ask? Hehehe. Read (onegai), 'cause I ain't telling you! ^_~
Italics thoughts
"…" talking
DISCLAIMER: I don't own CCS, or Nelvana. And that's that!
"Sakura!" called Syaoran, running up to a disgruntled looking 13 yr-old.
"Yes?" she asked turning around as he skidded to a stop.
"Do you sense it?"
"Hai. But I thought…"
"Yeah, me too. *sigh* Guess we didn't capture all the cards after all."
"You did," came a new voice.
They both whipped around, to see a stuffed-animal looking creature floating in the air behind them.
"What do you mean, Kero? If we caught them all, then how come we sense a card?" asked Sakura.
"Well," Kero explained, "This isn't your average, ordinary Clow card…"
"Didn't know they still made those," grumbled Syaoran.
"*ahem* as I was saying," Kero began again, having a short glaring contest with Syaoran, "You captured all of the Clow cards, but this is a different type of card, not made by Clow Reed. This is a card that has just been made, only about a year ago. Someone evil, with very strong magic made this card. It can only be made upon the death of a powerful sorcerer. You see, once one who possesses magic is about to leave this earth, they can leave some of their intent behind with a very complex spell; very few have succeeded at it. Apparently, this particular person knew about Clow cards and decided to make an evil one. Lately, it's been reeking havoc on America, but I'm guessing it sensed your magic and transported itself here to challenge you."
"Very right, um, Kero-chan," said a dark voice from the shadows, "My master created me before he died. His orders: to ruin kids' minds in America, and to defeat the Cardcaptors he hated so much."
The card smirked evilly as it stepped out of the shadows. It had the resemblance of a prominent businessman and wore a three-piece suit and tie.
Sakura gasped and Syaoran stood in front of her protectively.
"Why have you come here? Why didn't you just stay in America?" asked Sakura.
"Silly girl. To defeat you. My purpose in America was only to ruin their children's minds, and I have certain people taking care of that for me while I'm gone. Like the stuffed animal said (Kero: Hey!) I sensed your power and have come to fulfill my second and final mission: to destroy you and all of your little friends."
"Oh no you won't!" shouted Syaoran, "You're not hurting Sakura or anyone else! Not while I'm around!"
Sakura looked at him in awe, Wow! He stood up for me! Hanyaan…
"Well then," said the card, "We'll just have to fix that, won't we!"
He started to summon his power.
"Oh powers of all that are evil, I, the Nelvana Card, call upon you to release your evil intentions! Li Showron, RELEASE!" as he finished his incantation, a figure appeared in front of them, one that looked just like…
"Syaoran?!?" said the trio of good guys.
"No! This is your double, Li Showron, from America! He was created by my master to confuse kids' minds in America and all those who watch Cardcaptors, the dubbed version! He can do everything you can, but better! Watch! Li, show them what you're made of!"
The Li from America took a fighting stance and was answered with a duplicate one from Syaoran. The two fought for what seemed like hours, with the same abilities and attacks. In fact, you couldn't tell one from the other, they were just a blur of green, fighting furiously.
Sakura and Kero looked back and forth, unable to distinguish between the two. As they were watching, the Nelvana Card (yes, named after the company!) smirked again and began summoning.
"…release your evil intentions! Ki-EE-ro! RELEASE!" he cried and a look-a-like of Kero appeared.
"HUH?!" yelled the befuddled guardian of the Clow, "What's going on?"
"I'm your double, Kero," said Ki-EE-ro, with his weird New York/Bronx or whatever it is accent.
Kero transformed into his original form, only to be followed by Ki-EE-ro. Both began fighting, until, like Li and Syaoran, you couldn't distinguish between the two.
"Why are you doing this?" asked Sakura, "These horrible American names! I can't take it anymore!!!"
The Nelvana Card just laughed.
"Oh, Cherry Blossom, you haven't begun to see my power. Sa-KOO-ra! RELEASE!"
"AHHHH!!" yelled Sakura, as her double appeared in front of them.
"Ha! I'm the mighty Sa-KOO-ra, and you are mine!" she lunged at Sakura, who doged expertly.
"Syaoran! Kero! Let's go! It's to strong for us!" yelled Sakura as she struggled with Sa-KOO-ra.
They fought free of their evil American doubles, and followed Sakura back to her house.
"Ha!" said the Nelvana Card, with his American dubbed versions on the sides of him, "you can run, but you can't hide! And when I find you, you'll be destroyed."
Sa-KOO-ra, Li and Ki-EE-ro laughed along with the horrible card as they watched their fleeing doubles, then vanished into the night.
^^^^^^^^^^^
AN-
Well? Comments? *crickets chirping* Anybody? Oh well. I know, it was pretty bad. I was inspired by (insert author's name here) after reading their story about Sa-KOO-ra and how she messed up everything or whatever. Gomen about using your character's name. If you have any problems or anything with that, e-mail me and I'll change the name (trmpetgrl1@icqmail.com). Well, it WAS supposed to be funny, but I guess that'll happen in the next chapter. Oh, and about my To Leave Me… series: I can't seem to write anything depressing anymore! I'm too happy for that story. Maybe if one of you ff.net authors were to write something depressing, I'd be inspired and write!
Kero-chan: Or maybe not!
Trmpetplaya1: Well, do you have any better suggestions?!
Kero-chan: No, but maybe the audience does.
TP1: Hmm, good idea. Arigatou!
Kero-chan: Don't mention it!
TP1: Don't worry, I won't…
Anyway, if you have any ideas about how to cure my writer's block, e-mail me, ONEGAI! Arigatou! Well, gotta jet! Next chap soon (and maybe the same for TLM…) Bai-Bai!
