Chapter Five (08.12.02)
Tomoyo walks through the streets of Tomoeda, obviously searching for something.
While doing so, she seems to be talking to someone, although there is no one
else in sight.
"Please tell me!" Tomoyo shouts.
Tomoyo continues to walk along the path in dead silence.
"Tell me!"
More walking and once again, no response.
"Tell me! Tell me how to save Sakura-chan!"
She stops walking and falls to her knees, as tears come to her eyes.
"The Clow Mistress must be destroyed to save her soul!" a ghastly voice tells
her.
"But that can't be! Sakura-chan is the Clow Mistress. She's the cardcaptor!"
"Yes. But the Clow Cards have taken a hold of her. They're slowly zapping
the energy from her. Soon enough, she'll be weak enough for all of the cards
to escape. And then it'll be too late for her!"
"No! You're lying!"
"It's true!"
"You're lying! She captured the cards fair and square! Why would they turn
against her?"
"The cards have powers that not even your friend understands. They are
taking over her body as we speak. Soon, she won't have any energy to fight
back. And then, the cards will control her!"
Tomoyo then comes to her senses, as she dries the tears from her eyes with the
back of her hands.
"That's it! That's what you're doing to me, isn't it? Taking control of me
so that I'll get rid of Sakura-chan for you!"
"My, you're a smart girl."
"I bet you're zapping my strength away! And soon, there will be no way for
me to fight back. Then you'll be free to hurt Sakura and the others!"
"Bravo! I'm happy you figured it out! Too bad you won't be in enough control
to tell anyone the truth!"
All of a sudden, Tomoyo clutches her stomach in pain. The spirit is speeding
up the zapping process.
"In mere moments, your body will fully belong to me!"
======
Sakura and Syaoran are flying over the city, searching high and low for Tomoyo.
Kero is right with them, searching with them.
"Kero-chan," Sakura began, "explain the whole concept of Forbidden Clow Cards
again. Maybe it'll provide a clue as to what the card might want with
Tomoyo-chan."
"Just what exactly can these cards do?" Syaoran asked, for the first time
clueless about what to do against a Clow Card.
Kero thinks for a minute before beginning to tell the story of the Forbidden
Clow Cards.
======
[Flashback mode]
"When Clow Reed was creating the Clow Cards, he created three extra cards.
These extras would eventually end up becoming the Forbidden Clow Cards. And
each card possessed a certain power that Clow Reed decided were too strong to
be used regularly by anyone. It was even rumored that they're stronger than
the four elemental cards."
"Stronger than the Windy, Watery, Firey, and Earth cards?"
"Yes, Sakura. We should be thankful that you have three of the four. They
may prove very useful against the Forbiddens."
"So, about the cards..."
"Keep your socks on kid, I'm getting to that part! Anyway, the names of the
three cards were Poison..."
A card appears on the screen with the picture of a needle on it.
"Psychic..."
The next card appears with a magic hat and a crystal ball in the picture.
"And Ghost..."
The third card has a ghost drawn on it.
[End flashback mode]
======
"Hoooeeeee! Not a ghost!"
"This is no time to be scared! We have to save Tomoyo."
"But Li-kun... a g-g-g-g-g-g-ghost c-c-c-c-card!"
"After all this time, you're still afraid of ghosts?"
"I can't help it!" Sakura screams, placing her hands on top of her head.
"They're so scary!"
"Sakura!" Kero shouts. "Pull yourself together! A cardcaptor is physically
and mentally prepared for anything!"
"Why did it have to be night?" Sakura wails.
"Which card is it?" Syaoran asks Kero.
"Well, I think we can rule out the Poison card. If Tomoyo-chan had been
taken over by that card, the poison would've surely killed her by now...
oops."
Kero tries to cover his mouth, but he's too late. Sakura had heard Kero's
description of the card and it had made her even more scared.
"We've gotta find Tomoyo-chan!"
"Wait!" Syaoran shouts. "We have to figure out what we're up against first!"
"Right," Kero continues. "That leaves the Ghost and Psychic cards. But how
to determine which one has her?"
"What's the difference between the two?"
"The Ghost card gives someone the ability to see ghosts, ghouls, goblins...
practically anything undead or spiritual, it's fair game!"
"Hoooooooeeeeeeee!" Sakura screams again.
"And the Psychic?"
"The Psychic card can play tricks on someone's mind, forcing them to do
something they wouldn't normally do."
"It must be the Psychic card! Tomoyo would never hurt Sakura on purpose."
"If it is," Sakura asks, still a bit shaken up, "then how do we get the card
to let go of her?"
"That part I don't know."
Sakura sweatdrops. "You've got to be kidding."
Syaoran then gets an idea. "Sakura, head for my apartment!"
"Huh? Why?"
"Wei might be able to help us out."
Sakura nods. She then redirects their path towards Li's apartment, with Kero
following closely behind them.
======
Back down on street level, a stubborn Meilin limps along, holding her back as
she gives chase.
"Dammit, Syaoran! Why do you care so much for Kinomoto? We're the ones that
are engaged to be married!"
Meilin continues to move as fast as her body will allow, gritting her teeth as
she tries to bear the ever-growing pain from her back.
"I'll show Kinomoto! You too, Syaoran! I'll capture that Clow Card myself if
I have to prove how much I love you!"
======
At the apartment building where Syaoran and Meilin live with their guardian
Wei, Syaoran bursts in the door and heads straight for the bookshelf. Sakura
and Kero follow him in.
Syaoran stops in front of the bookshelf in the living room and starts
searching for a certain book. Sakura, with her staff in her left hand, stops
next to him. At that moment, Wei enters the room and Kero immediately goes
into stuffed animal mode, landing on Sakura's right shoulder.
"Sir Syaoran? I thought you were staying at Lady Tomoyo's place tonight."
"It's an emergency. We're looking for a book that contains information on
the Forbidden Clow Cards."
"The Forbidden Clow Cards? Well, let me think."
Wei thinks to himself as he tries to remember where he saw some information
about the cards in one of the books. After a minute, he finally reaches for
the bookshelf and pulls out one of them... written all in Chinese characters,
of course.
"This might have something about that in here, but I'm not sure."
Wei hands Syaoran the book. He immediately scans the contents as Sakura is
forced to look on and only wonder, as she can't read Chinese.
"Are you just going to look over my shoulder or are you going to help?"
Syaoran asks as he looks up at her.
"But I can't read Chinese."
"There's a Japanese-Chinese dictionary you may use," Wei tells her, pointing
to a book on the left side of the bookcase.
Sakura grabs it, as well as another book from the the shelf. Then, using the
dictionary, she tries to decipher the letters on the first page.
"This'll take forever, Li-kun! It may be too late to save Tomoyo-chan by the
time we get through all of these books!"
"Then I suggest you learn Chinese real quick. We've got a lot of reading
ahead of us."
======
Back with Meilin now, as she turns a corner and finds Tomoyo lying on the
ground, unconscious. She runs over to check on her.
"Tomoyo-chan, wake up! Don't you dare tell me that you're dead already!"
But just as she reaches Tomoyo, the young girl awakens and gets up. The
sudden arisal spooks Meilin slightly.
"Don't do that! You scared me half to death!"
Tomoyo then smiles evilly at Meilin... before attacking her with a high kick
to the face. Luckily, Meilin blocks the attack by crossing her arms in front
of her face just as the kick reaches her. The force of the blow knocks her
back a foot or two, though.
"Alright Clow Card, you want a fight? I'll give you one!"
Meilin raises her fists and crouches into a ready position. "I'll capture
that card and get it out of Tomoyo-chan... even if I have to do it by force!"
Coming in Chapter 6:
- Meilin faces off with a fully-possessed Tomoyo... not good for Meilin-chan.
- Finding a possible answer, Syaoran, Sakura, and Kero rush to the scene.
- And you'll never guess who drops by the scene to offer some help!
