What if.?

Keetra. Keelah and Kero:: hey minna! Kero:: the trio is back! Keelah:: about time you recognize us. Keetra:: LOL. Knock it off you two, I got a story to write. Keelah:: so, are you gonna give I preview? Or at least a summary? Keetra:: I was getting to that. What If.? Basically is a fic that answers that question. It gonna be a three shot fic. Not that long but I got other things I need to write. There are gonna be three what if questions answered within a similar plot line. It starts near the end of the Sakura series, where Sakura's guardians need to go within the staff to help transform the light and dark cards. It a very pessimistic view of how the story should end but, hey, someone has to be the un-optimistic one. This fic is a result of way to much time on my hands, and me and a friend asking that pesky what if question. R+R. I'll accept flames on this one cuz I know that I'll get some.

Chapter 1. What If She Failed?

Sakura steps away from Keroberos, a determined look in her eyes "Let's try it." Keroberos nods. "Ok." Sakura brings her star wand in front of her, the wings grow and spread as the star within the staff turns. The magic circle appears beneath Sakura and the guardians rise into the air. They glow, and start to become magical ribbons, which lead into Sakura's star wand. The wand glows a bright pink and begins to change. There is a flash of light and Sakura is now holing a new wand. It is as long as Eriol's symbolizing great power within. At the top is a nine-pointed star with a small moon beneath it. Surrounding them on each side are wings, and all of this is on a long, pink staff. Eriol and his guardians watch with no reaction from the top of the archway. Sakura tosses the Light and Dark cards and they turn. "Cards of Clow's making, listen to my words and be reborn. Because I, Sakura, command you." Sakura strikes with her staff. The cards stop turning and begin to change. The magic level climbs halfway up the cards and stops. "Onegai. change." Sakura mutters. The magic level starts to fall. Sakura gasps in disbelief, then shakes it off and concentrates again. 'I believe in the cards.and in myself.' The magic rises again. Sakura's arms begin to shake from the effort. The magic reaches almost halfway again, then drops drastically. Fear comes to Sakura's face as she realizes that it is not enough, and she is running out of magic fast. Her hands and the staff begin to drop, only to be caught by Syaoran's, who has come up behind her. "Syaoran-kun?" "I'm a descendant of Clow Reed, I might be able to help." "Demo, if it doesn't work, you'll. if the cards don't change, you'll fall asleep too." "It's ok. I'm sure you can defeat him." Her eyes widen in surprise. She nods in determination. "Ok. Let's go." "Ok." The star circle glows bright. The magic ascends again on the cards. Sakura and Syaoran watch in hope, putting all the magic they have left w/in them into transforming the cards. The magic crosses the halfway point. Sakura mutters her special spell, "It's alright. No matter what, it will be alright." Ribbons appear all around the magic circle and go into the staff. Then the circle disappears and the duo fall to the ground, exhausted. The staff clatters to the ground beside her. Sakura looks up at the cards in hope. Her expression instantly shows the results. There are the two cards, the magic level a centimeter away from the top. The magic drops and disappears. Light and Dark drift to the ground, still Clow Cards. "Iie." They had been so close. 'Just a little more. Demo, I don't have any magic left within me. Neither does Syaoran-kun.' She lays her head on the bricks. "We failed." She whispers, her voice very weak. With no magic left, she is vulnerable to Eriol's spell. It has already started to affect her. she forces her tired eyes to look at Syaoran, who the spell has already taken over, for he is fast asleep. Then to the new wand, where her two guardians shall forever sleep, along with Yukito. Finally, to Touya and Tomoyo, who represent all of the world of people who had depended upon her. The world that she had let down. her eyes close for the last time as Eriol's spell overcomes her, in a forever dream. The three figures on the arch watch this in silence. Spinnel Sun turns to Eriol. "does this please you, Master Eriol?" Eriol's eyes gaze sadly at the sleeping figures before him. "No, Spinnel. It does not." Ruby Moon turns to him as well. "Then you will reverse the spell?" Eriol shakes his head. "Iie." The guardians turn to him in surprise. "This spell is a special spell," Eriol explains, "the one that casts it cannot undo it. The spell must be overcome by another. If Sakura had not used her magic to transform the other 6 cards, then, with the guardian's in her staff, she would've transformed the Light and Dark cards." "Then what can we do now master?" Ruby asks though she has already guessed the answer. "There is nothing can be done. I did not expect her to try to transform the last 8 cards at once." "You mean." Ruby begins, then stops. Eriol nods. The entire world, and the mistress," he finishes for her, "shall rest in an eternal sleep."
