Fun with the Clow Cards!
Sakura waited, and waited some more. Still no sign of Clow Reed. 'What could have happened to him? Maybe he didn't hear me? Or maybe he's in some sort of trouble?' Sakura thought to herself. She started to get worried. All Sakura needed to do to solve this problem, was to get back into her body, get the wand from the Power Card and try to get the cards back from Firey. This would then soon be, behind them. Clow Reed still hadn't arrived.
"CLOW REED? HELP ME!" Sakura yelled again. Soon after Sakura shouted out his name for the second time, Clow Reed appeared with a pop. He looked down at Sakura, and sort-of smiled. "What is it Sakura? Have you realized what you have done?" Clow Reed asked, looking down at the twelve-year-old. Sakura sighed and nodded. "I know that I shouldn't have done this with the cards and I should have listened to Keroberos." Sakura said, and looked out the window.
Meilin and Tomoyo were standing there. They had no cards and were looking down at the destruction of the town. Right now the Rain and Storm were trying to get the cards to come out of the cards. The Power then walked over. She waved Sakura's sealing wand and the cards all glowed a dark pink. Sakura sighed. Now that all the cards are going to be let lose, the destruction will come faster now. Not two days, now, maybe around one day left. Clow Reed smiled.
"Sakura. You have learned your lesson. You might now have a chance to stopping the cards and sealing them again." Clow Reed said. Sakura looked at him, dumbfounded. Clow Reed waved his staff around, and before Sakura's eye's there was a flash of white light and she was sent flying backwards. When everything stopped moving, Sakura opened her eyes.
She was lying up on the clouds. She was back in her body. In the far distance she saw three cards huddled together talking about something. It was the Power, Storm and Rain card all together. They were talking about something, and were very deep in conversation. Sakura saw the Power Card waving around Sakura's Sealing Wand. She got up off the ground, the cards still hadn't spotted that Sakura was up and walking, slowly, over to them.
Right then the Dash and Create Card popped out of the cards. The three cards trying to get the cards out of the cards looked pleased. Storm, who acted as the leader said something to the two cards, who nodded. Dash and Create looked up and saw Sakura advancing on Power. Dash ran, very fast, creating a blur of light purple going around and around her. The create card then glowed a color of brown and created a cage around Sakura. She screamed.
"Let me go!" Sakura shouted, banging on the bars of the cage. Storm sneered and shook her head. Rain nodded who was sitting on the top of Sakura's cage. At least until Power got the Lock card to come out of it's card, again. "Oh Power of the Cards. This is your new master. I call forth the Lock and Voice! Lock the cage and destroy that voice!" The Power screeched and thrusted the staff at the cards. The two glowed and the figures appeared.
The Lock flew at the cage and clamped it onto the lock of the cage. The Rain smiled and jumped off the top of it. The Voice flew out and into the cage with Sakura. Sakura gasped, and the Voice card disappeared into Sakura's body. The card appeared moments later with a pink ball in its hand. "Here you go, Rain. Do what you wish with it." Voice said, putting the ball into Rain's hands. Since Rain was the only one with no voice, she smiled. She brought the ball closer and closer to her, until the ball was inside Rain. A flash of pink light was seen, and Rain smiled.
"I can talk. All because of Voice." Rain said, smiling at the group. Her voice sounded like Sakura's, just in Rain's body. Sakura flung her hands to her throat. She tried to talk, but nothing came out. Only air. Sakura sighed and looked down at the grounds. Her cards took her captive and now she lost her voice. Readington would soon be forgotten, in a world of darkness and water.

Down below…
Tomoyo and Meilin walked down the stairs of the apartment building and out into the storm lands. They both sighed as they looked around. This was no good, and in a few hours this would be at the bottom of the ocean. Meilin started to pace. Tomoyo looked up at the sky, shook her head and sat down on the ground, watching Meilin pace around, muttering to herself. The two were very nervous. Thinking about what was happening and what would happen when this was at the bottom of the ocean. "What will we do? This is no good the world is doomed! We have no Star Cards and no Sakura. We'll be dead by tonight. When the sun fades, the ground will shake and be doomed to a dark and watery death." Meilin muttered.
Tomoyo looked at Meilin. She hadn't told anyone about her idea she had went the cards were in her possession. She might as well say it now. She looked up at Meilin. "Meilin? Tell me what you think of this idea. I think that I'm on to something but… I don't know if it will work." Tomoyo trailed off. Meilin stopped pacing and looked at Tomoyo. She was looking at the ground, looking like this was her fault. Meilin smiled, walked over and sat down on the ground with her. "Tell me. Maybe I can help you." She smiled.
"When Sakura was kidnapped and her cards had fluttered done and I grabbed them, I thought that just maybe I had magical powers. Sometimes, when she was collecting the cards for Clow Reed, I would sense their presence before they appeared, and before Sakura realized that they were around. I thought that it was fate, that the cards came to me when Sakura was kidnapped." Tomoyo stated. Meilin nodded, and the two sat their for moments thinking about things.
All the sudden, Meilin spoke up. "Come on Tomoyo. We should give it a try, maybe, just maybe you have something." Tomoyo nodded and the two girls got up off the ground. The ground shook, and the two girls toppled over on each other. "The Time is coming! The ground is starting to shake. Tomoyo! We have to hurry. Do you have a plan?" Meilin shouted, and looked up into the sky. The sun was starting to set. The sky was starting to shine a deep shade of red, with some purple, pink and yellow dashes through the sky.
"Yeah, I have a plan." Tomoyo said, and thrusted the front doors of the apartment building open. Meilin came back to reality. "Alright, let's go! Time is running out and the sun is setting." Meilin said, and ran into the doors after Tomoyo. The two ran up the five floors of stairs and kicked the roof door open. They walked out into the stormy weather again. Meilin closed the door and looked at Tomoyo.
She had walked out into middle of the roof, standing there, not moving, just the wind moving her hair. Her hand was in her pocket. "What are you doing?" Meilin shouted into the wind. Tomoyo looked over at her. "This is my plan. There still is one card left it my pocket that Firey didn't get. This is fate!" She replied, and turned back around.
She didn't move. The only parts that moved were her hair and her hand inside her pocket. Within a few seconds, she withdrew her hand. In her hand, was a Star Card. She quickly glanced at it. It was the 'Hope Card.' Tomoyo sighed and closed her eyes back up. She drew the card closer to her eyes and put both hands on the card.
"Oh Hope Card. You are the last of all the Star Cards that are left. We need your hope, love, will to change others thoughts and make peace with others. I now, I'm not the mistress of the cards, I am her best friend. We need your powers to help our town with your powers. I'm begging you, please help." Tomoyo whispered aloud, only her and the card could hear her voice.
Tomoyo slowly opened her eyes. The card showed no sign of hearing Tomoyo. The sky was starting to set, the ground rumbled again. Still nothing happened. "Please." Tomoyo whispered to the card. Nothing happened, anything at all.
Tomoyo collapsed to the ground. She dropped the card, and started to let her tears flow down her face. Meilin, who was watching from the sidelines, hated to see her friend like this. She slowly walked over to Tomoyo and picked up the Hope Card. She looked at the card for awhile and sat down next to Tomoyo. "That was a good idea. Using the Hope Card. Not even I thought of that." Meilin said, trying to be cheerful. But inside, her thoughts were the same as Tomoyo's. There was no hope for Readington. The sun was almost set and soon enough this would be all gone, a dark and watery death.
The Hope Card seemed to hear Tomoyo and Meilin's sincere thoughts. The card started to glow in Tomoyo's hand. The two looked up at the card. Tomoyo gasped and wiped away her tears. The card glowed a brighter pink, and left Tomoyo's hand. It spun up and up, until it stopped. From above the card and light shined through the clouds and fell down, until it was in front of Tomoyo. The two girls looked at it for a few minutes.
In Tomoyo's mind, she heard a thought. 'Extend you hand, and say 'Powers of Galaxy's! With your ever-burning light, draw your power from my planets and bring your light to me. Release.' The voice said inside her head. 'Right.' Tomoyo thought. She extended her arm, so that it was under the white light. "Power's of the Galaxy's! With your ever-burning light, draw your powers from my planets and bring your light to me! Release!" Tomoyo shouted.
The white light above her hand started to shake and move. Tomoyo and Meilin gasped. The wand then extended into another wand. This wand was purple, and was a foot taller then Tomoyo was. At the top of the wand, instead of there being a star there, like Sakura's, there was a purple circle at the top with the nine planets going around in a circle, growing the color's of the planets.
Tomoyo was speechless. Meilin was in awe. "Wow…Looks like you were right, Tomoyo." Meilin stumbled out. Meilin then looked over at the sky. The sun was almost set. Just a little bit was left peaking out over the sunrise. The ground shook again. "Hurry Tomoyo! Hurry!" Meilin shouted. The Hope Card fluttered down and floated in front of her. Tomoyo raised her wand and touched it to the card.
"Hope Card! Draw you hope, love, and will to change others from my planets and hurry!" Tomoyo said. The card glowed a light purple and shot into the clouds. The sun then disappeared from the peak. Tomoyo and Meilin gasped. The fight down below with Syaoran, the guardians and the cards stopped, and the storm stopped. Everyone was afraid.
The ground was shaking non-stop now. The water was starting to come through the streets. Keroberos and Yue grabbed Syaoran, Eriol and Touya and flew off into the sky, to where Tomoyo and Meilin were. They gasped at the sight of Tomoyo. She was standing there, her wand in front of her. "Tomoyo?" Syaoran stated. Meilin hushed him. "She needs concentration." Meilin whispered.
The Hope Card dived down from the clouds and sprinkling pink stuff down into the town below. "NOW! HOPE CARD! STOP THE WATER! TAKE IT BACK TO THE OCEAN!" Tomoyo yelled, from the roof. The Hope Card heard her and soared down at the water and with the hope of Tomoyo inside of her, banished the water back to the ocean. The Hope Card flew back to Tomoyo and stood in front of her.
The Hope Card was very beautiful. It was a light shade of purple. It had wings on its back, its hair flowed down to the middle of her back with a dress in-between the Bubble and Storm card. Inside Tomoyo's mind, the card spoke. 'The water has been taken back to ocean and is banished from ever destroying your town, as long as I am here.' Tomoyo nodded. Hope then spread its wings and flew off to gather the rest of the cards.
Tomoyo turned around and looked at the others. She smiled. "Hi Guys." The six just started at her. "What happened Tomoyo? Where did you get that staff from?" Syaoran asked, looking at the staff in front of Tomoyo. Tomoyo was just about to speak when Kero spoke up.
"Tomoyo. She is no ordinary girl. She is the guardian of the planets. She was planted here, just like Julian was. She was to guide Sakura, without giving away her true form. Now, that she has her true form back, the cards shall go with her, back to Clow Reed." Kero explained. The three nodded, Yue already knew this story.
Right then the Hope Card flew back down to where Tomoyo was, the cards were behind Hope, with Sakura. The Hope stood by Tomoyo's side. The cards stopped in front of Sakura and gasped when they saw her. They knew who she was. Tomoyo glared at them all.
Finally she spoke: "Clow Cards! What are you doing?" Tomoyo said. None of the cards said anything. Storm then stepped forward. "Storm! You were the one who was the leader of the cards! Why did you turn on your mistress?" Tomoyo said. The Storm card looked at her: "When the cards were set free, we are to do what we want." Strom replied.
Tomoyo stiffened her glare, and looked at Sakura. "Unlock Sakura and set her free. Rain give Sakura's voice to Voice, and Voice give it back to Sakura." Tomoyo said. Voice took the pink ball, containing Sakura's voice and put it into Sakura's body. Syaoran walked over and picked up the fainted Sakura.
"Firey! Come forth and give me my cards that you took from me when I was in my borrowed form." Tomoyo commanded. Firey flew forward and put the cards in Tomoyo's outstretched hand. "Earthy! Go and put the town back to the way it was before. Wood, Snow and Freeze go and undo the damage that you have fdoen. The four figures nodded and flew off into the distance.
"For the rest of you, back into the cards you go." Tomoyo said. She waved her staff and held it out to the cards. "Erase, stick that tongue back in your mouth, and Power stop making faces. Now!" The two cards stopped what they were doing. Tomoyo started speaking again. "Power from my planets, draw my light from the planets and conceal these cards." Tomoyo said. With a wave of her staff all the cards were back into cards and in her hand. Except Hope, because Hope went around wherever the guardian of the planets went. Hope, of course, was the card of the planets.
Sakura moaned and her eyes fluttered open. She saw Tomoyo standing there, with two wands in her hand. A purple one and a pink one. "Here's your wand, Sakura. Take good care of it. And don't forget all the fun that we had.' Tomoyo laughed and handed the staff over to Sakura. Sakura took the wand and made a grab for the cards in Tomoyo's hand. Tomoyo jerked her had away.
Kero the spoke up: "Sakura. Those cards are not yours, and Tomoyo is not who she seems. Tomoyo is the guardian of the planets. Tomoyo was her borrowed form. She was your third guardian. She is too watch you from the sky. So, that means that Tomoyo is going to have to leave you, forever." Kero said.
Sakura stared at Tomoyo, Eriol, Kero and Yue. "You're just a guardian." She stammered. She let herself out of Syaoran's arm and ran over to Tomoyo. "Please! Please don't leave me! You're my best friend and I'll miss you to much!" Sakura cried. Tomoyo hugged her and smiled.
"Sakura. You are my best friend too. Don't you dare forget the times that we had together. If you ever want to talk to me, just call my name, and you will see me." Tomoyo said. Sakura drew away, still crying. "Here. I want you to have this. Then you never will forget me." Tomoyo said. She held out a strip of her hair and cut it. She then grabbed a camera and tossed it to Syaoran. Tomoyo drew Sakura closer, Hope was standing above them. Syaoran took a picture.
Tomoyo then backed away. Two purple wings on each side of her back appeared and drew around Tomoyo's body. A flash of purple light was seen and the wings drew away. She was wearing a lavender dress that went down to her knees. On her waist, ends of the dress had a strip of pink going across it, she had little pink high heel shoes on with red ties on them. She walked back up to Sakura. She put her staff in Sakura's hand, and Sakura's staff in her hand. Hope stood behind them again, and Syaoran snapped the picture. The two cards quickly developed and Tomoyo handed them to Sakura.
Tomoyo printed her name under the picture of Tomoyo and under the picture of the guardians she wrote: Piyoko. Guardian of the Planets. Hope wrote the name 'Hope' and they handed them to Sakura. "Remember Sakura. Since, I am the Guardian of the Planets. I will be back to check on you. I will be checking on Earth and the others as it's guardian, and I will always come and visit you. And remember, when you need a friend, just call my name." Piyoko said. Sakura smiled and nodded.
"Now before I leave, I have no thing left to do." Piyoko said, she turned around, facing the destroyed town of Readington. She held her wand out in front of her. "Earthy! Wood! Snow! Freeze! Power of my planets, draw my light from the planets, and conceal these cards!" Piyoko shouted, she put her wand over to thew cards. The four figures then were sucked into their cards and flew into Piyoko's hand. She put them into her pocket.
"Last, but not least, I have to change everything back to the way that it was. I must also modify people's minds." Piyoko sighed. She thrusted her staff out in front of her. "By the powers of the planets inside of me, modify everyone's minds except the people of this very roof with me. And put this town back to the way that it was before." Purple light flashed out from her staff and it wiped everyone's memory of the night before and the town was back to normal. Piyoko then put her staff down and turned around to the crowd. She smiled and looked around at the 'magical' group.
"Bye for now." Piyoko said. "Bye! I'll be waiting." Sakura yelled, running to the edge of the roof. Piyoko and Hope flew off into the distance. Before, everyone was out of sight, they turned around, and waved one last goodbye. Then disappeared.
*~*
Later that night…
In Sakura's bedroom, she was lying on her bed. She was tear-stricken and crying. In the background, Vitamin C's song 'Graduation [Friends Forever]' was playing. All night long Kero, Meilin, and the rest of the group tried to calm Sakura down, saying that Tomoyo was not meant for this world. She is a guardian. Everyone told her. But Sakura wouldn't listen to them. So they all gave up, Sakura would eventually get over her.
"I miss Tomoyo so much. She…she was my best friend and now, she's gone. FOREVER!" Sakura cried. "She never got to graduate. She never got to date Eriol and she loved him and she never got to have her thirteenth birthday and go into the eighth grade." Sakura cried. Right then, she heard a voice inside her head. 'If you never need to talk to me, call me.' The voice then died away.
Sakura gasped and nodded. She wiped her tears away and opened her bedroom window. She stuck her head out the window. The wind was howling around, and whipping her hair in every direction. "TOMOYO! PIYOKO!" Sakura shouted into the night sky. She waited and waited. No sign of them. "HOPE?" Sakura shouted. She was about to give up, when a face appeared in the sky.
Sakura smiled. The stars were shining brighter and brighter. The stars connected and a face was made. Then beside it, two figures were seen in the starlight. They both waved down at Sakura, wind blowing though their hair. Tomoyo waved her staff and something floated down. "Never forget us." Piyoko called. She waved her wand again and the stars became unconnected and the two figures disappeared from the starlight.
The thing floated down and landed in front of Sakura. Sakura grabbed the item and it stopped glowing. Inside her hand was a piece of paper, written by Piyoko/Tomoyo.
Dear Sakura:
I have been watching Earth very closely today, after I left Readington. Always remember the good times and don't always think about me being gone. I will always be nearer to you, then you think. Remember that, and always keep the pictures of us close to your heart. Live a great life you have good potential. Hope says hi. Love you lots:
J Piyoko: Guardian of the Planets. J
Sakura smiled. She closed her bedroom window and sat down on her head. She smiled and looked cheerful for the first time since earlier this morning. She had no reason to cry. "Maybe there is hope. As long, as I know one thing. We have a great protector and a great friend watching out for all the planets.
THE –END!!!!!
