An unknown time later,

The battle with the chaos guardians continued...

-Pour a current of water on our enemies, Watery! Struck the drowned enemies, Thunder! -Sakura ordered the cards, as she activated them one by one. -Burn down your enemies, Firey! Help Firey spread the flames, Windy!

-Suiryuu Shourai! Hyouka Shourai! -Syoran activated the paper charms with his sword, dousing the chaos guardians with water and then freezing them solid. -Raitei Shourai! Kashin Shourai!

He continued by blasting them with fire and lighting...

-STUPID FEI WONG REED! STUPID CHAOS MAGIC! STUPID "CHAOS GUARDIANS"! -Kereberos yelled in rage, as he frenziedly burned every chaos guardian he saw. -WHY DO THEY HAVE TO KEEP RE-SPAWNING?! WHEN DID THIS BECOME AN ATTACK OF AN ARMY OF REVIVING MINIONS IN A VIDEO GAME?!

-ARRG! THEY ARE SO ANNOYING! -Ruby madly yelled, as she frenziedly struck every chaos guardian she saw. -WHEN WILL THEY FINALLY DIE?!

-...It seems that they are being created using Eriol's magic... -Spinel said in a thoughtful and serious voice, as he attacked a nearby chaos guardian. -...Did you really think that this would be easy...?

-...Those chaos creatures...-Yue said in an eerily quiet voice, as he attacked a nearby chaos guardian. -...How dare they use Clow's magic for this!

-Getting mad over this will get us nowhere. -Yelan said in a thoughtful voice, as she attacked a chaos guardian with her fan. -Right now we should think about how to survive this crisis, undo Eriol's possession and think about how to bring back everyone's stolen souls.

There was silence for a few seconds,

As everyone thought about what they must do...

-...ArE yOu AlL sTuPiD oR sOmEtHiNg...? -"Eriol" suddenly said in an exasperated and mocking voice, as they were floating above the area. -YoU rEaLlY tHoUgH tHaT lOwErInG yOuR gUaRd DuRiNg A bAtLlE wOuLd Be A gOoD iDeA?

-HOOOOE! WE ARE SURROUNDED! -Sakura yelled in fright, as she saw that they were completely surrounded by the chaos guardians. -...HOW DID NO ONE NOTICE THIS...?!

-...They must have the ninja materializing ability! -Kereberos thoughtfully said, as he glanced between the chaos guardians. -The power of their stealth ability is over 9000...!

-You with your video games and memes...-Spinel said in an exasperated voice, as he looked at his fellow guardian before studying the chaos guardians.-...But their stealth ability must surely be high...-He thoughtfully said. -...Is it an innate ability...?

They were so absorbed in their discussion,

That they didn't notice anything around them,

Or the fact that they were a few seconds from getting killed...

-...C-can you talk about this later? -Yuna suddenly said in a weary and slightly annoyed voice, as he was using his time clock to freeze the chaos guardians, who looked like they were about ready to attack, in place. -I-I can't stop them for long...

-Here, you can have some of my magic energy. -Touya reassured him, as he shared some of his magic with him. -Now, if someone could kill those monsters, then that would be very helpful.

-...I am on it...! -Matthew said, as he bashed the "monsters" with his hockey stick while the guardians destroyed them with their magic attacks. -...The best defense is a good offence...-He confidently added, before looking on unsurely. -...I wonder where I heard that from...

-Sakura! -Syoran suddenly yelled in fright and desperation, before pushing her to the side and getting the burnt of an incoming attack. -...Y-you shouldn't let your guard down...

-Syoran-kun! -Sakura frantically yelled, as she frantically looked over her boyfriend. -Syoran-kun, are you okay...? -She then noticed him clutching his right side. -S-Syoran-kun, your right hand...! D-did it get...D-disintegrated from the attack...? -Her eyes widened in guilt and horror. -...S-Syoran-kun, I am so sorry...-Tears started to appear in her eyes. -...B-because of me...Y-your right hand...

-...I-it's okay, Sakura...I-I am alright...-Syoran reassured her, as he showed her a small honest smile. -...T-this pain is nothing as long as you are okay...

-...Oh, Syoran-kun, I am so happy to hear you say this. -Sakura lovingly said, as she embraced him tightly. -...I lo...

She started saying before being interrupted by a shadow attack going their way,

Which they evaded thanks to Syoran's masterful rolling skills...

...

The one who sent the attack was a chaos guardian,

Who did not like the romantic moment that they were having...

...

-...TCH...ANOTHER WAVE OF THOSE ASSHOLES! -Kereberus said in an aggravated and annoyed voice, as glared at the just appeared chaos guardians. -FOR HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS GOING TO CONTINUE?!

A second later he attacked the nearest chaos guardian with his fire breath...


At the same time,

At an unknown location...

-...So this is how it's going to be...-An intrigued female voice was heard, followed by a sigh. -...It seems that I would have to go there and help them before anything regrettable could happen...-The voice sounded slightly worried. -...That idiot...Making me leave my shop so suddenly...
