Chapter Seven: Day of the living dead

Li's room.

Li was lying on his bed thinking of his capture of the stop, speed and slow card when the thought crossed his mind that maybe he couldn't capture any of the more powerful cards without Sakura maybe if Sakura was the capturer she would have been able to capture all of the Korano cards herself without his help.



*She probably could what am I thinking of course she could she's the master of the Sakura cards* The cards that Li had captured floated out of the book and circled him, Li turned to see the cards circling him.



"WHAT DO YOU WANT!? YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY WANT ME TO BE YOUR MASTER SO WHAT IS IT!?"



The cards stopped circling him and formed a deck and slowly floated into Li's hands. Li's eyes started to water "what kind of master would I be?"



Meanwhile on the other side of town.

A man in bright yellow robes stood at the grave yard, he held out his hand for a few seconds nothing happened but then the ground at the base of each grave stone started moving and from each grave a person rose out of the ground moving very much like a zombie. They approached the man in yellow and kneeled in front of him like a knight in front of a king. The man grinned and gave the one nearest to him a photo, they looked at the person in the photo. It was a boy of about 13 with brown hair and amber eyes he was in green robes and they noticed a name at the bottom which read "Li Showron"



Li's room.

*There's a card nearby* Li thought as he grabbed his sword *there's no time to get the others great it's a fine time for them to go shopping together*



15 minutes later the graveyard.

The man dressed in yellow stood in the centre of the grave yard, Li approached the card which turned around as soon as Li got close enough. Li drew his sword and approached him.



*Definitely a card*



The card smiled and stuck out his right hand but instead of attacking Li several figures attacked Li from the trees pinning him down. The card approached Li and held his hand out, Li struggled against the people holding him card but was too late as the cards hand glowed for a few seconds then shot a yellow blast of magic at him.



"SAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKUUUURRRAAA!!!!!!!!!!"



Sakura's room.

"Kero will you stop eating that cake for one second I'm trying to talk to you!" Sakura said placing her hands on her hips.



"SAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKUUUURRRAAA!!!!!!!!!!"



"L-Li!?"



Madison's house.

Madison's phone started ringing and she answered it only to hear a very nervous Sakura on the other end.



"M-Madison Li's in trouble!"



"Okay Sakura I'll meet you round your house"



"Don't worry about everyone else I'll ring them!" Sakura said



"I'll be quick Sakura don't worry"



Madison put down the phone and held up the battle costume she made Sakura and smiled.



Sakura's house.

"Madison! You were quick!"



"I couldn't afford to waste time I see no-one else has arrived yet"



"No not yet"



Madison smiled "great I guess you've got plenty of time to put on the battle costume I made you!"



"Oh great"



5 minutes later.

Korano, Senosa, Yue and Meiling were waiting in Sakura's living room for Sakura to finish putting her battle costume on. Sakura entered the room with Madison and Kero wearing a battle costume identical to Li's only pink.



"Wow that looks good on you Sakura!" Korano said.



Sakura blushed "um.thanks"



15 minutes later the grave yard.

Sakura, Madison, Meiling, Korano, Yue, Senosa and Kero in his true form were standing in the grave yard looking at a group of some 12 people holding the unconscious Li down with the card standing next to them.



"It's the life card!" Korano exclaimed



"I can guess what it's power is but how do we stop it!?" Sakura demanded



"Sakura! You help Li me Korano, Senosa, and Yue will keep those people at bay Meiling you protect Madison!" Kero said



Korano, Senosa, Yue and Kero took on the zombies while Sakura ran to Li's aid but was stopped as the life card attacked her with a yellow blast of magic knocking Sakura into a tree to weak to move.



"Sakura!"



The others were being swarmed by the zombies and unable to help Sakura, the card approached Sakura and lifted her up by the neck. The card started squeezing her neck, it looked like it was over when.



"ELEMENTAL LIGHTNING COME TO MY AID!"



Li's attack forced the card to let go and the card turned it's attention to Li, it hit him with another yellow magic blast but Li managed to block it with his sword. He used the stop card to stop time and hit him with the lightning card which caused it to fall over. Li captured the card easily and unpaused time, the zombies attacking everyone fell to the ground.



"Li!"



Li turned to see Sakura as she ran towards him and hugged him.



"Are you all right!?" she demanded



"I'm fine Sakura I'm just a little tired" he said as he collapsed to the floor unconscious.



"LI!"



Koran knelt beside them "don't worry Sakura he just needs to rest"



Li's room.

Li slowly opened his eyes to see that he was lying in his bed in his room with Sakura still in her battle costume sitting in a chair next to the bed.



"Sakura?"



She looked at him "LI!" she literally jumped on him and hugged him.



"Sakura I'm fine you don't have to worry"



She got off him and wiped her tears "okay Li"



Li looked at her up and down "hmm you look good in that"



Sakura looked down at her battle costume and blushed a bit "umm.well.uh."



Li laughed and hugged her "Sakura."
