Chapter 10:
Camping Trip:
The Departure
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Take this!" shouted Danze a green blast forming in his hands and he fired it at Alex. Alex dangled the star key in front of him.
"Oh key of star,
With powers burning bright,
Reveal the staff,
And shine your light,
RELEASE!"
The star key spun around in the blue orb of light and began to extend to form the blue star staff. He opened the leather card case and took out the first card he could felling the defensive power omitting from the card.
"Protect me from evil's blast,
Star Card!"
The Loop Card appeared and laid itself down on the ground looping the dimensions. The attack crossed the border and continued to go round and round. Alex took out another card. "Try and catch me when you don't know who I am!" He threw the card above him.
"Illusion Card ,
Make an exact double of me,
Illusion!"
(A/N: Alex has captured in the month between New Years and February but the capture will be featured later on)
The Illusion formed into an exact copy of Alex. "Ha! You think that a fake copy of yourself will stop me?" he asked. "I will destroy both of you!" Alex smirked. "No I don't but it will if I combine it with……..
"Maze Card
Release and Dispel!"
Alex ran out through the warped dimensions of the Maze combined with the Loop. "I'll never get out of here!" he thought. He stood still hearing a foot steps. He quickly took out a card.
"Sword Card,
Release and Dispel!"
He raised then staff into the air and a blue light began to swirl around the staff and when it disappeared the sword was left. He pointed it in the direction of the footsteps. The footsteps getting closer and Alex realized he hadn't a clue why he used the cards he had used. The Maze, Loop and Illusion. Why the hell would he have used those cards? Alex held his breath as the footsteps were right behind the corner. Then an exact copy of Alex walked around the corner. "Illusion!" exhaled Alex. The spirit nodded. "Master….Alex….Danze…near!" said the spirit in broken English.
I raised an eyebrow.
"Danze, you sure?" It nodded.
Since Alex had conjured the maze he was in control. He held out his hand.
"Will you turn back into a card for me?" he asked. The card nodded.
It closed his eyes and became transparent. A card shape could be seen in the centre of him. And then it sort of began to collapse in on itself and into the card. The card floated over to him. He replaced it into the pouch and closed his eyes.
"Maze…open" he whispered. All of a sudden a gap in the wall appeared. He walked through it wearily. Even though he was getting more powerful with every card he captured and just under half of the 53 Star Cards were captured, it was really starting to have a physical effect on him. Alex took out another card.
"Fly Card,
Come to my aid
And loan me your powers"
Wings sprouted out of his back. Alex took off not caring if Danze was trapped in alternate dimensions he headed as high as he could. Once he was high enough in the air he stopped and turned around, and gasped at what he saw. The street which had been crowed until Danze attacked was now in ruins. "What a tool!" Alex said to no one particular. "I hope you're not talkin' to me!" came the Osaka accent from behind me. "Kero!" Alex gasped.
" I don't see anymore guardian beasts around here do you?"
Alex sighed. "That tool of a demon has destroyed half the city!"
"Well, no one ever said sealing the cards would be easy!"
Alex looked at the beast. "Well no one ever said anything about some freak with wings trying to kill me!"
"HEY!" shouted Kero. "DON'T TRY AND PIN THIS ON ME!!!!!!"
Alex smacked his forehead. "Kero will you shut up you're really starting to piss me off!"
Kero began to shout but Alex ignored him. He held out his hand and the Star Circle appeared beneath him. The Maze began to disappear and began to transform back into the card. "Alex be prepared!" whispered Kero. Alex nodded.
"I've got a plan." Kero smirked thinking of all the times Sakura said that, but they were always really half assed, but they always worked. The Maze fully disappeared and began to float over to Alex and it didn't take too long for Danze to find him but Alex was too quick for him.
"SHOT CARD!
AIM DANZE!"
The Shot Card erupted out of the card and shot for Danze hitting him square on, in the chest. "Now!" said Alex. "To make our escape by using
DASH!
RELEASE AND DISPEL!"
Alex grabbed Kero out of the air and zoomed in the opposite direction. "This is your plan?" asked Kero in the same tone of voice he had asked Sakura so many times in the past. Alex nodded his head.
"Kero, I have to get some sleep! I know you chose me as the Cardcaptor but I still have a life!"
"HEY!" shouted Kero. "You agreed to this, remember?"
Alex knew that was going to come back and bite him in the ass. "Yes Kero, yes I do!"
FLASHBACK:
"Okay I'll do it! What do I have to do?" asked Alex.
"Go stand over there" said Kero pointing to the centre of the room.
Alex walked over to spot Kero was pointing and stood facing Kero in his pyjamas. "Why is it that every Cardcaptor I choose is wearing their pyjamas?" asked Kero to no one in particular.
"Excuse me?" said Alex. "It's not even ten on a Saturday morning, so I have a right to be in my pyjamas!"
Kero looked around the room, as if he wasn't even listening. "Hmmm…your room?"
Alex looked around his room. To be honest he didn't see anything wrong with it. Dark blue walls and a white ceiling, a large, double glazed window that overlooked the garage and two skylights. Alex had gotten the attic for a room but he didn't care, he liked it. A desk close enough to the window so he could stare out at the sky when doing his homework and a wardrobe beside it. A TV in the corner with a PS2 and a couple of games scattered around and a couch.
"What about it?" he asked.
"Nothing…it doesn't matter. So anyway, it's Alex, right?"
Alex nodded. Kero stood on The Sakura Book. He began to glow with a golden aura and everything went black. Alex looked around at where his room used to be. A golden circle appeared beneath him. He was standing in the middle of a celestial star with a sun on his left and a moon on his right. Not only that but weird markings around the edge. "What did you do?" Alex shouted, his voice echoing. Kero began chanting in Japanese. The after a couple of minutes he began to chant in English.
"Oh Key of the seal,
This boy will carry out the sacred promise,
His name is Alex,
I command you to bestow him with your magic powers,
RELEASE THE POWER!"
Alex screamed as he was blinded, as the small blue orb which had encased the key erupted with light. Not just that but the energy being released from the orb of light sent him backwards out of the circle. "Quick Alex, grab the staff." Alex began to make his way back into the circle, which was not easy, and stretched out his hand. The staff was particularly short but when Alex was finally able to grab it, it extended into a fully fledged staff. "I Cerberus name Alex the Cardcaptor!" Everything turned back to normal leaving Alex there holding the pink star staff (People remember that the staff is blue!)
END FLASHBACK
After arriving home from the fight with Danze, Alex collapsed on his bed. "I can't believe how tired I am!" he yawned.
" Yeah well catching cards can really take it outta' ya'!" said Kero landing on the desk. "You've caught about twenty seven cards right? So that's over just over half. Your half way done, so it won't last much longer!" said Kero forgetting about the Final Judgement. All he got in reply from his Cardcaptor was small snores. "Alex?" The guardian beast floated over to the bed. He landed beside his Cardcaptor's face and saw that he was sleeping soundly. It was only then that Kero noticed how pale Alex had gotten. Kero quickly flew over to Alex's bed side table and picked up a framed picture of Alex, Matt, Kim and Ash, with all his strength and brought it over to the bed. "Ummmmmm……Alex said that this photo was taken at Kim's birthday. A week before he discovered the Sakura Book." Kero looked at the photo and saw Alex and his friends smiling at him. Each of them smiling widely with their arms around each other. Alex was tanned in the photo but now he was unbelievably pale. "Wow, this is really taking its toll on him. I never realised." Kero lifted the photo back to its original position. He then pulled a blanket over Alex. He then opened the case containing the Star Cards and they formed a circle around him. "Time to figure out what this demon wants with the Spirits of Courage, Power and Wisdom once and for all!" he crossed his legs in midair. He glowed with a golden aura and the Star Circle appeared beneath him.
Seven hours later (3:00am):
"ALEX" shouted his mum from downstairs. Alex began to stir from his sleep but didn't wake up. "Alex, you have to go on your school camping trip!" whispered Kero. Kero heard Alex's brother get out of bed. He froze up as if he was a stuffed animal. One of the twins burst through the door. "HEY!" he shouted. "Wake up you brat. Unlike you we have school and Dad has work so get up NOW!" he said shouting the last part. Alex's eyes snapped open. "GET OUT!" he shouted, angry that he was woken up. He picked up the closest object to him, which just happened to be the Sakura Book, which was full of the Star Cards and unlocked, and flung it at the door. Alex's brother closed the door and the book hit the door emptying the cards onto the floor. "Ugh!" said Alex. He looked at his watch. "Why am I up at 3am?" he asked Kero.
"You're going on the camping trip, remember?" Alex all of a sudden, woke up fully. "I completely forgot." He jumped up and threw of his clothes. Then it came to his boxers. "Kero turn around!" he said not wanting to go to the bathroom like he normally did. Kero looked at him. "Why? We're both men here. You've got nothing I haven't seen before!" Alex raised an eyebrow. "There are so many things wrong with that statement it's unbelievable!" Alex decided to turn around and stripped off, showing his bare ass to Kero. Kero wolf whistled. "SHUT UP! Or you're going in the washing machine!" he threatened. He pulled on a clean pair of boxers and began to get dressed.
After Alex had gotten dressed and eaten his breakfast it was about 4am and he didn't have to be at the school until 5am so he had some time. "Why'd your mum wake you up so early?" asked Kero. "Because she wanted me to make sure that I had everything ready. But personally I think she's over reacting because one: It's only a week and two: I already gave my bag to the school to hold and that has everything in it!" Kero sighed. "So I assume I'm coming with you!" said Kero. Alex forced a laugh. "Why would I assume that?" Kero raised an eyebrow.
Hmmm…I wonder why? Who collapsed today?" Alex rolled his eyes. "Kero, you have just made an ASS outta U and ME! He he. You get it ASS-U-ME!"
"Hahahahaha. No!" said Kero. "Alex I have something else I have to tell you!"
"What? Is this like the "My Best Friends are The Spirits of blah, blah, blah?" he asked.
"Alex, Sakura knew, before she died, that you were going to have to face harder tasks than her when capturing the Star Cards."
"How do you mean tasks?" asked Alex.
"Well, when the Clow Cards were converted to Star Cards, they became a lot more powerful. Not only that, she knew that someone was going to be after your friends because of their powers. She also knew that he would be close by when the Star Cards sensed your magic."
"Hold on, Kero, what does any of this have to do with me?"
Kero sighed. "He has seven Star Cards." Alex's jaw dropped.
"OH BOLLUX!!!!!!!!!!!!HOW THE…….? AW SHITE…….!" Alex stopped. "There's more to this. Isn't there?" Kero nodded solemnly.
"Two of them are elemental spirits and he has the power to conjure the seven demons of darkness AND he can combine them with spirits a.k.a. Star Cards."
"And you know this, how?"
"Well I knew he could infuse demons but I only found out about the Star Cards today. When you were asleep I used the cards to power my aura sight so I could sense him and that's when I sensed them!"
"Wait; is aura sight, the thing you have been teaching me?" Kero nodded.
"Yeah, that is exactly it."
"How do I know this is going to ruin my camping trip?" Kero shrugged.
"I think you're jinxed when it comes to these types of things, but, Alex it's most likely that he is going to use them this weekend, when you're alone with no cards!"
Alex sighed "Okay, then. I guess you and the cards are coming with me."
"Boo Yaw!" shouted Kero. "Okay" said Alex. "Lets see…I have a messenger bag, somewhere around here, so I can have, lunch, The Sakura Book, you, a flashlight,
and normal book to trick people!" Kero nodded. "Sounds good."
"Alex" shouted his mum. "Time to go!" "Coming!" shouted Alex. Grabbing the messenger bag, quickly stuffing everything into it.
