Cardcaptor Alex

I was just reading over the other chapters and realised that I haven't really written about Alex's life. There will be a card but I'm going to try put more of his life in!

It's two weeks after the Fly Card. Since then Alex has captured Windy,Sword,Mist and Dash.

In this Alex has a strange dream about two people on top of the radio tower while he realises he has feelings for one of his best friends!!!!!(I do not write yaoi so who it is should be pretty obvious!!!)

Chapter Four:

The Two Rivals!

DREAM:

Alex stood in nothingness. He was wearing his school uniform. He turned around and something began to shine in his pocket. Eight pink cards burst out and formed a circle around him. He looked around slowly. Then the scene changed.

He was standing on top of the school with Kero floating beside him .He was wearing an outfit he'd never seen before. Pink cards were falling in front of him. It was night and he was facing the biggest full moon he'd ever seen in his life. Be yond the trees he could see the radio tower .On the top stood two figures. The Jump card appeared in front of him. That's when he realised he had the staff in his hands. He was about to activate it when……………

END DREAM!

Alex opened his eyes slowly. He looked at the clock on his bedside table. 6:30am flashed at him in red numbers. He slowly sat up. Kero poked his head out of his drawer. "What's up, champ?" Kero asked. Alex blinked at him. "What do you mean?" asked Alexas he got out of the bed. Kero floated over to him and sat on his shoulder. "You can tell me anything Alex and I mean it so tell me what's up?" Alex thought back to the dream. "well I had a strange dream and well it just freaked me out. It seemed so real." Kero looked worried at his friend. "That's normal! Now that you can control your magic you'll have predictive dreams. Sakura and I used to have this motto and it helped her out of loads of difficult situations." What was it?" asked Alex. Kero smiled at him. "Expect the Unexpected!" Alex smiled and began to get dressed for school.

Alex turned the corner and saw Ash and Kim walking together. Alex watched them and could feel a jealous rage building up inside him. He didn't know why because nothing was going on between Ash and Kim."I don't like Kim. I do not have a crush on her. I do not have a crush on my best friend.(Matt's his best guy friend while Kim's his best girl friend) As he walked up to his two friends he saw Kim stop and turn around. She smiled at him which made his stomach lurch. "Who am I kidding I have a huge crush on my best friend." Alex was pulled out of his thoughts by Kim tapping him on the shoulder. "Alex you haven't said anything in about two minutes! What's up?" Alex blinked and looked at the two of his friends. "Nothing" he lied. Ash laughed while Kim began to giggle. Ash was the first to stop laughing. "Alex we've known you for ten years! We know when something's not right. So what's up?" Before he had a chance to answer Matt came running up beside them. "Hey guy's what are ya guys talking about?" Kim looked stopped laughing. "Noting much" she said. She opened her mouth to say something but stopped herself and thought about it. "Did you guys get that English essay finished?" Ash's face went white. "That's due for today?" he said. All three of them nodded. Ash wasn't the organised type but he was never one not to have work done. "I'll talk to you guys later" he said as he broke into a sprint down the road towards the school. All three of them laughed at the look on his Ash's face until they heard the warning bell ring. They ran towards their first class and sat down as soon as the final bell rang. Alex looked behind him and could see Ash hurriedly trying to scramble down the rest of his essay. Mr.Evans walked into the classroom. "Good morning class." He said knowing he wouldn't get an answer. "Today your essays on your siblings are due. Now who'll volunteer to read theirs aloud?" No one raised their hands. "Fine then I'll pick.emmmmmmmmmmmm………… how about Mr.King?" Alex nearly dropped. Him read aloud. Alex was never one to be embarrassed but he hated reading out essays in front of the class. A voice came from beside him. "I'll read out mine Mr.Evans." Alex turned to see his saviour. His stomach did a back flip. It was Kim. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh Miss. Stone. Thank you for volunteering." Kim walked up to the top of the class.

"My sisters name is Maddie" she began.

"So that's why your acting so weird today" said Matt leaning over to Alex. Alex knew what was coming but played dumb. "What are you talking about?" he asked as if he had no clue. "You are totally crushing on Kim! I understand. She's very pretty with her ocean deep blue eyes or her long blonde hair." Matt stared into nothing. Alex snapped his fingers in Matt's face. Matt shook his head and looked at Alex. "You dare tell anyone and I'll hunt you down! Matt laughed silently. "Alex of course I won't tell anyone. I'm your friend remember!" Kim finished reading her essay and sat down. "Thanks for saving me! said Alex. They got on with their studies as the day progressed and when the final bell finally rang. "Thank god that's over" said Alex walking out the front door of the school. "I agree!" said Kim. They began to walk home and when it was time for them to go their separate ways they said goodbye and walked home.

When Alex arrived home neither of his brothers were home nor was his parents. He felt a strong tingling in the back of his head. He looked towards the stair and heard a thumping in his ears. He went into the kitchen and saw Kero inside one of the cabinets. "Kero this sensing magic thing does it feel like a tingling in the back of your head?" Kero looked up with his mouth full of food. He swallowed. "Yeah, and when you look towards the source you'll hear a thumping kind of noise." Alex thought about what Kero had just said. "Well there's something magical upstairs." He pulled the key of his neck and pulled out the cards from his pocket.

"Oh Key of the Star,

With Powers Burning Bright,

Reveal the Staff,

And Shine Your Light."

"RELEASE!"

The staff extended in his hand as he tip-toed up the stairs. He heard voices coming from his room. A girls and a boys. "Quit being such a baby and look" said the girl. "Back off" said the boy. Alex gathered up all the courage he could gather. "Alex" whispered Kero. "Their very strong! I'm amazed I didn't sense them!" Alex nodded. "You ready?" Alex asked. Kero nodded. Alex walked up to his closed door and kicked it open. The two intruders spun round. They were both about the same age as Alex. The girl raised a sword but the boy stopped her. "It might not be him." he said. The girl looked at him. "He has the staff and a flying a stuffed animal floating beside him!" The boy rolled his eyes. Alex raised the staff instinctively. He had the cards in his pocket and was about to pull one out when the boy pulled out a board. He then began to chant:

Source of light with ancient spin,
send forth the magic power within.
Oracles of gold, wood, water, fire, earth,
cloud, wind, rain, and electricity.
Force, know my plight. Release the light!

A blue line shot from the board straight to Alex's pocket. "He has them" he said. The girl lunged at him with the sword. He swerved sidewards and put his back against the wall. As the sword hit the ground Alex raised his foot and kicked it. But she wouldn't let go. He ducked to avoid another stab from her stab. "Alex, RUN!" shouted Kero. Avoiding another stab Alex ran into his room. "Kero what's going on?" screamed Alex avoiding a punch thrown at him by boy. Alex had went to martial arts for a couple of years and began to block the kicks and punches. He saw his chance and kicked him in the stomach. He fell back but the girl charged at him. Alex jumped to the side and the sword hit his wall and got stuck. Alex had to think if a way to get them out of house before they destroyed it. Alex jumped onto the chair on his desk and began to pull himself out of the skylight above it. Kero flew out the window. "Kero what do they want" aked Alex in a worried voice. "They have the Lazin board and Li's sword" Kero thought aloud. "Huh" Alex could see hands coming out of the skylight. The boy was beginning to climb out. Alex jumped and put all his weight under himself and landed on the boys fingers. The boy cried out in pain and let go of the ledge and fell to the floor holding his hands. Alex pulled out the first card he could and hoped it would be Fly or Jump. It was Jump. The girl began to climb out and Alex wouldn't hurt a girl. He threw the card in front of him.

"JUMP!"

Alex slammed the staff down an the card and white wings appeared on heels. He jumped over to the house across the road and landed on the roof."Kero what's a Lazin Board?" asked Alex. Kero didn't get a chance to answer because the girl had made it onto the roof along with her injured friend. "You stole something from us and you're going to give it back. NOW!" she shouted Alex honestly hadn't got a clue what she was talking about so he decided to try and talk to her. "I have never stole anything in my!" he said. The girls face went red. It was the boy who spoke next. "You have the star cards! They belong to us!" he said. "Kero looked as if he was about to pop. "You may be descendents of Sakura and Li but Alex found the book and broke the seal. I choose him as the cardcaptor not you to brats so go home!" Alex watched the guardian beast and the two strangers argue and could tell that the brat comment was the last straw for the girl. She pulled out a yellow piece of paper with Chinese on it. "Alex……" Kero began.

"Element Lightning, Come to my aid!"

She threw in front of her. It blew back to her and landed on the side of her sword. Lightning bolts came of it and it shot straight towards him. Alex pulled out a card.

"FLY!"

Wings grew out of his back. He shot upwards to avoid the lightning. "That's it I'm sick of this!" Kero nodded. "Time to end this, Alex." Alex pulled out his cards and looked for the right one. "Ah this one is perfect." He threw it front of him.

"Windy Card,

Form a cage and tie them up!"

"WINDY"

Alex slammed his staff down and stopped just before it hit the card. The elemental spirit flew towards them and wrapped itself around them binding their arms and legs. Alex landed on the roof. He felt a peculiar sensation in the back of his head. It was different from the one of the people. It was a star card. Alex ran over to them with the wings still on his back. "Who are you?" he asked. They looked with him. The girl glared at him. The boy began to talk "I'm Chris and unfortunately this is my twin Sarah." Alex nodded. "Why were you trying to hurt me? I've never seen you before in my life. Kero said you are descendents of Sakura and Li.(In the two weeks Kero told Alex everything he remembered about his master and he loved one) That doesn't make you rightful masters of the star. I was chosen not you. It's my destiny to become the master!" Sarah laughed. "Yeah right! And it's my destiny to be an ant! Your nothing but a nobody who'll never be able to collect the cards. You have no magic." Alex cut her off. "No magic? I have just beaten you using the cards and it's because of the amount of magic that I have the cards panicked. Plus I've collected eight cards without your help!" he said holding up cards. Now I sense a card so I'm going to capture it. The Windy Card let go of the boy. Alex was about to fly off when Sarah began to shout after him. "What about me?" He stopped and turned around. "Once I'm far enough I'll call the Windy back but until then." And with that Alex took off with Kero by his side. "Nice job, champ!" Alex smiled." Kero why did the Windy let go of Chris without me commanding it to?" Kero thought about it for minute. "You felt safe from him so the Windy released him. Alex nodded to show that he understood. "Well Sarah's just a brat" said Kero. Alex smiled. "She's just proud. She thinks because she was born into a family the cards are her birth right. Which may be true but I've bonded with every card I've captured and they belong with me!" They arrived at an old church. " This is where it's coming from." said Kero. Alex nodded and grabbed Kero and shoved him in his pocket. He then reverted the staff and walked through the amazing doors of the chapel. It was completely empty. He told Kero he could come out. Kero looked around. "There!" exclaimed Kero. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" said(?) Alex. "We're in the house of God Kero if you talk you must whisper as a sign of respect!" whispered Alex. Kero sighed and flew over to the gold doors behind the alter. Alex followed him but blessed himself before going onto the alter. "It's there" said Kero pointing at the gold door. He went to open but when he got about five inches away he crashed into something. "Owwwwwwwwwwwwww" he howled. "Kero!" said Alex. Kero looked at him. "That was very painful!" he whispered. Alex rolled his eyes and tapped the invisible barrier Kero had crashed into. "Very strange" Alex whispered. He held out his hand towards the door. A card floated through it and floated straight into Alex's hand. Alex pulled his key.

"Oh Key of the Star,

With Powers Burning Bright,

Reveal the Staff,

And Shine Your Light."

"RELEASE!"

The staff extended in his hands. He threw the card in front of him.

"Windy,

Break the barrier,

Windy"

The Windy flew towards the barrier but it just washed over it like water. Alex sighed. He held his hand out and the Windy turned back into a card and floated over to him. "Try cutting through it" said Kero. Alex nodded. "That's a great idea!" he said taking another card out of his pocket.

"Sword Card,

Release and Dispel,

SWORD!"

Alex raised his staff in the air and a blue swirling mist surrounded it. When it disappeared a double edged sword was left in it's place. He swung the sword down and not even touching the barrier the force was enough to cut it open. A gust of wind began to blow. It blew Alex of his feet into the air. He straightened up in mid-air and landed on his feet. When he looked up there was a huge shield in the shape of a wing. Alex ran up the aisle. "Quick Alex seal it!" Alex slashed the sword across his body(not touching it of coarse) and it turned back into the staff. Alex raised the staff.

Return to your Power Confined!

STAR CARD!"

The shield was sucked into the blank card. "The Shield" Alex read allowed. Kero floated over to him. "The shield protects important things. Someone must find that thing very special!" said Kero. The Sword Card floated over to Alex. He reached out and took it. He put it in his pocket and pulled a pen. He signed his name and flew home. Once there he found a note from Chris.

Alex,

Sorry for my sisters behaviour today. Hope you caught the card and

I'll see you tomorrow

Bye for now,

Chris.

"Tomorrow?" said Alex out loud. Kero read the note. "Stupid brat!" he said. Alex looked at Kero who was flying over to his bedroom/drawer. Alex heard the door open and knew his brothers were home. He quickly cleaned his room and went downstairs to make dinner.

The next day at school Alex sat down in his usual seat and told Matt about Chris,Sarah and the Shield Card. When Kim walked in Alex's stomach flipped. Mr.Evans walked in after her. "Now today class we have two new students. Their twins and moved here from Tomoeda. Please make them feel welcome!" And with that the door opened. Two people. A girl and a boy walked through it. Mr.Evans began to talk. "Please welcome Chris and Sarah." Matt raised an eyebrow and leaned over to Alex. Those aren't the two that……." Alex nodded. "Chris you can sit behind Alex and Sarah you can sit behind Matt." Alex buried his face in his hands. "This is going to be one hell of a year!" said Matt as the twins took their seats behind the two friends.
