The New Edition Cards
Chapter 11: Know Your Enemy
The glass fell to the floor.
Li - Get out the way!
Li pushed Sakura and Madison out the way as a ninja threw a couple ninja stars at Li. They slowly cut his arm and landed on the wall.
Li - Oww!
Li held his arm where the wound was.
Madison/Sakura - Li!
Li - I'm alright
Li looked at the Ninja that stood before them.
Li - Who are you!?
The Ninja narrowed their eyes and slowly moved towards Sakura. Sakura backed up in horror.
Sakura - Wh-what's going on ...
Kero - Use the key!
But it was too late, the Ninja had pinned Sakura onto the wall and held a ninja star up to her throat. Everyone's eyes became as big as soccer balls.
Kero/Madison - Sakura!
Li - Let her go!
Just then a pink flash of light flashed before their very eyes and a little Sakura was before them.
Cherry - Let her go, unless you wish your master to crumble before your very eyes.
Just as Cherry said so the Ninja let go and jumped right out the window.
Li - Cherry! What are you doing here?
Sakura slid down the wall in a sitting position and sighed in relief.
Cherry - Taking care of business, is everyone okay?
They all nodded.
Cherry - I think you should get that
Sakura - ... Get wh-
Then the doorbell rang
Li - She has a knack for doing that, she knew when you were coming the day you two met
Madison - Wow, very impressive
Sakura smiled and went downstairs to answer the door; meanwhile Kero was floating around Cherry's head examining her body and power level.
Kero - You are most defiantly out of my power range
Kero stopped in front of her and Cherry smiled.
Kero - Is there something we should know about this visit?
Cherry - Not exactly, not yet anyways, but there are a few things we need to cover, after Sophia comes up of course
Kero - The kids here?
Madison - That must be who was at the door, am I right?
Cherry - You are correct
Sakura came walking back upstairs followed by Sophia and they both entered the room talking.
Cherry - There she is, we can begin the discussion
Sakura - Discussion? About what?
They all turned their attention to Cherry.
Cherry - I'm here to talk to you about Blossom. Okay first of all, I am a card that Sakura here has created a while ago; we'll talk more about that later. Blossom and I are two parts of the same card. The whole card was Cherry & Blossom. Meant to be Sakura's past hidden powers with a mind of our own, it's hard to follow but that's how we were created.
Madison - Created? When did Sakura create such a card?
Cherry - It wasn't for fun or anything it's sort of purposely
Madison - ... Ummm?
Cherry then sighed.
Cherry - Maybe I should just go ahead and explain it so it makes more sense?
They all nodded and Cherry began to speak again.
Cherry - Okay, from the top. Awhile ago, since Sakura had a tiny piece of anger hidden away in her body that was never release, it escaped on it's on and formed into Blossom the spirit. To fight of that spirit Sakura's body also released me, Cherry so that I could seal her so she couldn't cause any harm to Sakura which was her normal plans Are you following me so far?
They all nodded again and Cherry continued on.
Cherry - But somehow, Blossom made it to the future Sakura which would be her *points to Sakura* since all of this happened in the past when Sakura was in 6th grade. So Past Sakura sealed me away for awhile then realizing Blossom could cause harm to the future, she recreated a clone, that would be me, and sent me to the future, which would be here, the present time to you guys. Are you still with me?
They nodded once more in awe.
Madison - Wow
Sophia - Shhh let her finish
Cherry - When I got here, since Sakura's *points to her* sealing powers were much greater than past Sakura's, I told her to seal me right away because it would seal the both of us. I told her to sign her name and be sure to hide us in a safe place. Then this year when Sakura fainted from creating too many "New Sakura Cards" Blossom had enough power to over power this here Sakura and break the bind on the Sakura card that was keep us locked in. When she did so I escaped to and hid place to place trying to get you guys' attention so I could warn you of the wrath Blossom would soon be trying to force upon you.
They all looked at her. They couldn't believe what they were hearing, except Sakura of course, she knew everything. She had her full memory back.
Madison - This is ...
Sophia - Most defiantly unexpected
Kero - Expect the unexpected kid
Sophia - Most defiantly, and we'll do anything and everything we can to help, honestly and truly.
Sakura - Thanks guys
Cherry - It's gonna take all of you guys to go up against her and you're gonna need to work hard to out power her. She's been getting stronger and stronger by the minute and she gets even stronger every time Sakura here gets weak from creating new Sakura cards
Sakura - .... So I should stop creating them ... Right?
Cherry - Absolutely not! That's what blossom WANTS you to do. The minute you stop she'll come after you. What you need to do is create more, as many as you'll think you'll need, know how to use them and know how to use them well. That way you have the advantage over her. Sooner or later she's gonna take over the cards and you've got to be prepared to stop her at any costs and this one might just cost someone their life if you don't play your cards right, we understood?
All - Crystal clear
Cherry - But for now, all we can do is get stronger, try to figure out where she's hiding and, most important don't let your guard down. She could be disguised as anyone.
They all looked at each other and nodded. This wasn't the end; it was nowhere near the end. This was merely the beginning.
