Author's intro: I decided to put up another chapter even though you ppl are sooooo mean and unsupportive! lol. This may be a long one.

Warning: There may be some cursing in this crucial chapter.

Kaho, Li and Sakura watched there friend's lives end. Meilin was continuing to suck energy out of Keroberos, even though he was obviously gone. She collapsed from her efforts. It was difficult to say whether she lived.

Kaho was simply furious. She looked at Sakura and Li. "Sakura and Li. I just wanted to tell you that I called you to end the shadow's reign of terror. I did this because your love is the strongest thing in this universe. You must defeat it. I will do my best to weaken it." And with that, Kaho jumped towards the shadow, drawing her rapier as she flew. The shadow, unfortunately, brushed her off like she was a fly. She fell.

"NOOOOO!!!!" Screamed Sakura. She fell to her knees, sobbing so miserably. Li was now so incredibly pissed off. "You b*tch!" He yelled at the shadow. "ELEMENTS: COME TO MY AID!" A swirl of the elements streaked to the shadow, weakening it ever so slightly. The shadow suddenly took the form of a woman. A woman with long dark hair, and that was made entirely of smoke. It drew a sword. "Do you want to fight? Let's fight!" She drove forward. Li drew his sword. Li and the Shadow were locked in combat. The shadow had chosen to use its physical strength rather than magic, which she had used against the others. Li paused for a split second to glance at Sakura, but that split second was much, much too long. The shadow shoved its sword through Li. It retreated to its big shadowy cloud form, and cackled evilly.

"Li! Oh no, Li!" Sakura ran to Li's side. She cradled his head in her lap. "HEAL CARD!" she yelled. But the card didn't work. His wounds were too severe. "Sakura…" he whispered. "Li, no, don't go. I love you. We have to get married. We have to live our lives together. You are I have left." "Oh, Sakura." Li smiled weakly. "I love you more than anything else. Listen to me. You must defeat her. She already has most of the milky way in her grasp. You are our last hope. Forget the others. I love you, never forget me. Good-bye….my love…." With that, he slipped away….."NO LI! NO! I CANT DO IT ON MY OWN!" she leaned over him, sobbing. She gave him a final kiss.

"OH, do shut up!" said the shadow "I am sooo sick of your hysterics! I have a galaxy to take over, and you are the last thing stopping me! You are the only living person left! No shut the hell up! Please!" The shadow obviously wasn't a romantic.

"You want me to shut u?" asked Sakura. "You have destroyed the whole galaxy, and you want me to SHUT UP? Well guess what? I'm not gonna shut up! I'm gonna kick your ass to the end of the galaxy, and then I'm gonna make it explode!" –sweatdrop by the shadow-

Sakura rose into the air. Huge angel wings appeared. Her staff appeared in front of her. She closed her eyes, and white light surrounded the staff. Sakura wanted so badly to win this fight, and to resurrect her friends. She focused all that energy and want and hope and anger into the staff.

Sakura opened her eyes. She glared at the shadow. The cards rose up behind her. All their powers flowed up above Sakura, and then into her staff.

The energy of the staff was immediately forced into the Shadow. The Shadow fought back with a huge beam of black energy. Sakura's power was winning. But it began to falter. The shadow's power grew closer to Sakura. "No!" she thought. "I must win. Li, my love, Madison, Eli, everyone! Give me your power!"

The ghosts of everyone slowly formed around Sakura. She didn't notice. She was putting all her energy into the beam of power. Madison, Eli, Meilin, and Kaho positioned themselves around the staff, held the best they could since they were ghosts, and focused what power they had into the energy. The beam grew ever so slightly. Keroberos breathed ghostly- looking fire into the beam itself.

Li flew behind Sakura. He was somehow more solid than the others. He put his arms around her back, and grabbed the staff. The beam of energy grew bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and than it hit the Shadow.

The shadow screamed it pain. Sakura's promise had come true: the shadow got it's ass kicked to the end of the galaxy, and then it exploded.

Sakura looked around, realizing that her friends were around her. She was utterly exhausted, but that didn't matter at the moment. She spoke. "Thank you. I wish I could bring you guys and everyone else back."

The cards gathered, and glowed pink. A new card formed in front of Sakura: recreation. Sakura grasped the card. She held it up to the sky, and a light engulfed the galaxy.



Author's Note: I hope you guys liked this one. The next one will probably be the next chapter, and then the last part will be the epilogue. I tried my best with the last battle scene, but I'm not the best writer (^.^;) Email me! Missiceangel210@aol.com!
