Chapter eleven: The flight of memory
Li's apartment.
"Hey Li"
"Yeah Meiling?"
"Did you hear what happened to that kid Ben?"
"Who?" he asked looking at her.
"A guy called Ben in 10th grade lost his memory his parents were with him and said that when a beam of white light hit him he lost his memory pretty whacked out huh?"
"Yeah" Li said *Ben.*
Sakura's room.
Sakura was doing her math homework when she heard a knock at her window, she opened her window and Yue floated in and landed next to Sakura.
"Hey Yue" Sakura said smiling at him "what's up?"
Yue looked down at Sakura with his usual emotionless expression "it is about Li Showron"
"What about him?"
"I admit Li Showron's magic has increased greatly and he could defeat me but he could never beat me that easily"
"What's your point Yue?" Kero asked
"I think Li has either been holding back or the hate card had manipulated Li's most powerful emotion"
"What does that mean?" Sakura asked first looking at Yue then at Kero
"It means that the card made Li powerful enough to beat us but it could only have done that by manipulating his most powerful emotion, but if a card manipulates an emotion the host body will use that emotion for example if his most powerful emotion was kindness he would be acting kind but because Li was acting cruel cruelness would be his most powerful emotion"
Sakura looked shocked "are you saying that in reality Li is horrible I don't believe that"
"Neither do I Sakura but to be honest I don't think Li knows it either maybe we should just leave Li alone for a while and see what happens I don't think it's anything to be concerned about.not yet anyway" Kero said
Just then a white eagle shot through Sakura's open window and attacked her, she dove out of the way and the eagle crashed into the wall. It got up again unharmed.
"What is it!?" Sakura demanded
"It must be a card!" Yue said
They were just about to fight the card when Li jumped through the window and sealed the card with amazing speed. The "flight" card floated into Li's hand and he turned to them and smiled.
"Sorry to drop in unannounced"
Sakura stepped forward "wow you caught that card fast Li!"
"The flight card is technically one of the weakest cards but it is 10 times as fast and 10 times as agile as the fly making it very useful"
"I'll give you a race!" Sakura said smiling as she used the fly
"Uh okay Sakura" Li used the flight and grew wings from his back the main difference in his wings from Sakura's was that his wings were like Yue's only bigger.
"Okay lets go "angel"" he said kissing her on the cheek and taking off from Sakura's window Sakura blushed and Kero said "at least he flies better like that than in my body"
"What are you waiting for Sakura?" Yue asked "I don't think the fact that he called you angel should slow your plans down after all a lot of people consider you an angel"
Sakura smiled at him "why Yue I didn't know you were a romantic"
"Don't miss judge me go on now"
She went over to the window and gave one last smile to Kero and Yue before flying to Li, she floated up to Li and hugged him.
"So we start here and we race to.your apartment okay?"
Li smiled "okay"
They started there race high so that nobody would see them, they flew flying straight to Li's apartment with Sakura ahead at first but Li easily over took her.
He glanced back at her "I told you this card was 10 times faster and 10 times more agile didn't I?"
"You did but." Sakura used the watery card which drenched Li
"Oh that's it" Li said "ELEMENTAL WATER COME TO MY AID!"
Li's elemental water attack drenched Sakura and they kept soaking each other until they reached Li's apartment. They landed on the balcony and Li used the heat card to quickly dry them off.
"Looks like you won Li" Sakura said
"Doesn't matter" Li said
She stepped forward and hugged him and he in return hugged her back and wrapped his wings around her.
"Warm." Sakura whispered
Later that night penguin park.
A old man stood in the park dressed completely in white with empty eyes and a white crystal ball in his hands. He glanced around and smiled as he looked in the direction of Li's apartment, he floated off the ground and flew to Li's apartment.
Li's apartment.
Li stood on the balcony gazing at the moon thinking about Sakura holding the cards he had captured in his hand when the card attacked. A bright blue magic ball was fired from the cards hand but Li managed to dodge it, Li looked up and saw the card and used his elemental lightning attack, however a magic barrier stopped his attack surprising Li greatly. This was the opportunity the card needed to fire a white beam at Li, which would hit Li for sure. Li stood in a blocking stance and closed his eyes waiting for the attack to hit him but strangely nothing happened, he opened his eyes and saw that Yue had stopped the attack with his barrier.
"What are you doing here?"
"Protecting you" Yue stated simply
"But your Sakura's guardian"
"You are Sakura's beloved which in turn makes you master of the cards which also makes me your guardian"
*Yue seems to change more and more everyday* Li thought
Yue flew upward and attacked the card, unfortunately he didn't have much luck penetrating the barrier either. The card smiled and Li used the flight card, the wings grew from Li's back again and he flew up to the cards level and was about to attack it when Yue stopped him.
"Wait Li I have a better idea"
Li floated down to Yue's level "and what would that be?"
"A merger"
"Are you serious!?"
"Yes"
"But there's a chance we won't be able to go back!"
"All I know is that something is creating that barrier and it isn't that card Li and a merger may be our only hope of capturing it"
"Okay lets do it"
Yue put a hand on each shoulder and closed his eyes, Li did the same and they both started glowing, a bright silver light surrounded them for a few seconds and when it disappeared. In Yue's and Li's place stood a person Yue's height, with Yue's wings his facial features were the same as Li's and his hair was silver. The card looked surprised as Li/Yue flew at it easily shattering the barrier and capturing the card. The "memory" card floated into Li/Yue's hand and he smiled. Li/Yue then started flying in the direction of Sakura's house.
A ship in orbit.
A dragon-like creature sat on a chair looking into water that showed Li/Yue, a cyborg appeared next to him.
"It appears you were right about the boy, he has great power" the cyborg said
"Yes.he also has a great deal of darkness in his heart which we could manipulate" the dragon said "Shall I go and "persuade" him to join us?"
"No.let us wait for the rest of the chess pieces to arrive"
"Chess pieces?"
"All in good time my friend, all in good time"
"Yes master but was it necessary to put a barrier around that card?"
"Sakura had the reincarnation of Clow Reed, Eli, to test her while Li has me of course unlike Eli I have the responsibility of cleansing human kind something which has taken to long to happen and soon it will happen yes it will truly begin when they arrive in this dimension!"
Sakura's house.
Sakura was awakened by a knock on her window, she went to see who was there.
"Yue!?"
She opened the window and Li/Yue floated in next to her.
"LI!? What happened to you?" Sakura demanded
"A card attacked me and a barrier stopped me from hurting it and Yue came to help but both our efforts were useless because of the barrier but Yue suggested a merger where both our bodies and minds merge into one which is far more powerful than either of us separate"
""Wow Li this is great that means that the cards will be easier to capture because you and Yue merge but out of interest why didn't you do it earlier?"
"Because there's a chance we won't be able to go back into separate bodies"
"Oh but where's Yue is he in there as well" Sakura said reaching up to tap him on the head
"Yes he is you see both our personalities are in here but only one is used at a time"
"Okay Li but are you going to separate now?"
"That's we I'm here you see I need you to use the twin card which will separate us.
"Okay Li" Sakura said "TWIN!"
Li/Yue separated into Li and Yue.
"I must go" Yue said jumping out the window
"I've got to go to Sakura" Li said as he used the flight card
"Wait Li where are you going?"
"To help a friend"
Reedington hospital.
Li flew in an open window and went down the corridor to bens room, Ben saw Li approach (with his wings)
"Hey Li"
Li approached his bed "you knew it was me even with these?" indicating his wings
"Yeah you are the only person I remember after that man in white made me lose my memory"
Li held up the memory card he then used the memory card, which restored Bens memory
"Thanks buddy" Ben said getting up
"Nice to see you on your feet again and by the way can you."
"Not tell anyone you're a card captor and about that card"
"Exactly and how did you know I was a card captor?"
Ben smiled "I have my ways"
Li's apartment.
"Hey Li"
"Yeah Meiling?"
"Did you hear what happened to that kid Ben?"

"A guy called Ben in 10th grade lost his memory his parents were with him and said that when a beam of white light hit him he lost his memory pretty whacked out huh?"
