"Oh, no!" Sakura cried when she spotted the frantic splashing coming from the lake. The Watery Card had trapped someone! She motioned for Madison to get off of the wand and then shouted, "Watery, show yourself! I'm the one you want!"

A second later, the Watery Card appeared and lunged for Sakura, who took off on the wand. She didn't know how she was going to capture the card and at the moment she didn't care. All she was concerned about was getting it away from there before someone else got hurt.

X was still struggling with Elle, trying to jerk her foot free of the whirlpool. The water was seriously bothering him, working its way under the edges of his human disguise, and bluring his vision. He quickly yanked it off. Him being out of uniform was the least of Zed's problems right now. He probably wouldn't even notice. X yanked once more on Elle and suddenly she was free, the whirlpool holding her foot disipating.

"What's that?" Madison whispered as she saw X surface and pull Elle out of the lake. She turned to the little creature beside her. "Kero, is that a Clow Card?"

"No Clow Card I've ever seen," Kero muttered as he stared at X. "No time to worry about it now though. We have to help Sakura!"

X looked up just in time to see a human girl with a video camera and what looked like some sort of flying toy hurry off down one of the paths. There was nothing that he could do about them now, though. He looked down at Elle again. Something was definately wrong. Her eyes were normally little beedy things but now they were open wide and totally black. He shook her hoping to wake her up but she remained still and silent. Definately not good! Now what was he supposed to do? He had had some first aid training on his own planet but it only covered the superior species, nothing was said about humans. He wasn't even one hundred percent sure where their hearts were located!

He gathered Elle into his arms, rocking her. He hadn't liked her, couldn't stand being her partner, but he didn't want this to happen to her. He leaned down and put one big ear against her chest. It was probably futile, he wasn't even sure if it was the right place, but he had to do something. At first he couldn't hear anything but a moment later, he finally heard a faint thump, giving him a bit of hope that maybe she was still alive. Now what was he supposed to do though?

Madison and Kero ducked behind a tree when they spotted Jay and Kay hurrying up the path, both having their icers drawn. Just then Madison spotted the Watery Card, which had apparently lost Sakura, behind them getting ready to swoop down.

"Look out!" she shrieked, giving them just enough warning to dodge out of the way. Kay fired his icer and grazed the card just as Sakura appeared. Watery promptly turned, forgetting the men in black and headed after her.

"Did you see that?" Kero said as he looked at the icer. "Come on!"

The little guardian beast swooped down, snatching the icer before Kay had a chance to react and flew off down the path after Sakura and Watery.

We'll bring that back later!" Madison called as she hurried after Kero.
