Chapter fifteen: The first eternal card

Sakura's room.

"SAKURA WAIT!"



"LEAVE ME ALONE!"



Sakura ran into her room slamming the door behind her, she leapt onto her bed and started crying on it. Li entered the room quietly so she wouldn't realise he entered, he walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.





"Sakura.."



"Leave me *sniff* alone *sniff* Li"



"Sakura your mother wanted it, but she would not want to see you like this"



Sakura got up and hugged Li "but why Li? Why did she have to go?"



"Sakura."



"IT'S NOT FAIR! My mom *sniff* why did my mom have to die when I was young!? If she didn't I wouldn't have had to ask you to bring her back and.and."



"It's alright Sakura I'm here for you"



Li's apartment 30 minutes later.

Li walked onto the balcony and heard the voice again.



"I didn't know you were so caring Li Showron"



Li looked up at the cyborg "I'll ask you again since you're here who are you?"



"I cannot say"



Li drew his sword "fine then FLIGHT!"



Wings grew from Li's back and he flew up to the cyborg.



"Hah you can't win with your level of power especially not alone"



"He's not alone"



Yue floated down behind Li "why are you here Yue!?"



"I sensed you were in trouble"



Li smiled "a merger again huh?"



"It would help"



They merged into Li/Yue again.



"Well a merger what should we call you eh? How about Liue no that doesn't sound right, how about Yui yeah I like that"



"I don't really care what you call me but lets get this over with"



"Agreed"



Yui (that's what I'll call Li/Yue from now on) flew at the cyborg.



Yui pulled out a strange looking ofuda "TRIPLE ELEMENTAL!"



Fire, wind and lightning came out of the ofuda striking the cyborg, however all it did was make a small black mark on his armour!



"WHAT IMPOSSIBLE!"



The cyborg's eyes glowed again and Yui was thrown against the wall of Li's apartment floor, Yui shone a brilliant white light and separated into Li and Yue again.



"You two are weak even merged your no match for me"





His eyes stopped glowing, Li and Yue dropped to the floor of the balcony. The cyborg laughed and flew off. Li helped Yue up.



"You okay Yue?"



"Yes but who was that I get the impression that isn't the first time you met"



Li told Yue about the cyborg, about how he somehow knew him and about his master, Yue listened intently to Li's story.





"We should tell Sakura" Yue said



"NO! We can't tell Sakura until I know who that guy is and what he wants"



A ship in orbit.

"He is still no match for us master I'm beginning to wonder why we bother with him the girl is much more powerful"



"The boy's magic is increasing much faster than the girls did and his skill is remarkable however I'm concerned with his feelings which are holding him back"



"Master he will never be a threat why waste your powers?"



"You shall see soon but if you'll excuse me I've got another card to deal with"





Reedington high.

"LOOK OUT!"



Li pushed Sakura out of the way of a high powered blue magic blast. He helped her to her feet and looked up at the card floating in the air, it had pale skin with puffed up black trousers and a skin tight green shirt.



"What card is it Korano?"



"It's the restoration card, it is one of my three eternal cards"



Kerobearos looked at her "eternal cards?"



"The eternal cards are the three most powerful Korano cards"



Li sighed "wonderful"



Sakura pulled out two cards "JUMP, SWORD!"



Small wings appeared on Sakura's shoes, her staff then turned into a sword. She jumped into the air and sliced the card with her sword but a barrier stopped her.



"WHAT ANOTHER BARRIER!?"



Sakura landed next to Li "what do we do?"



Yue approached Li "lets merge again"



Li nodded, they merged into Yui again and attacked the card. Yui tried to attack the card with his sword but the card disappeared, Yui glances around trying to find the card then sees it on the school roof.



"TRIPLE ELEMENTAL!"



Fire, wind and lightning shot towards the card, it hit the card and caused a massive explosion. The card shot out of the smoke ramming into Yui sending him into the ground hard, they separated into Li and Yue.



"Pathetic why do you bother fighting me if that's the best you can do and that little girl is especially weak"



Kerobearos got angry "no-one insults my mistress especially not a card!"



He shot a fireball at the card but the barrier stopped it, the card grinned and shot a blue magic blast at Kerobearos which hit him sending him sprawling. The card then went on disabling everyone else until Li and Sakura were the only ones left, the card smiled evilly and floated down to the ground.



"Li what do we do?"



Li sighed "well I guess I can't merge with anyone and that barrier is to strong I guess this is it"



A ship in orbit.

The cyborg and dragon looked into the water which showed the battle unfolding beneath them.



"Don't give up Li we'll think of something!"



"It seems they will lose here master"



"Hmmm"



Reedington high.

"Don't kid me around Sakura I've failed.again"



"Li don't we.we can merge"



Li looked at her "what!?"



"Li just show me how and we can beat it" Sakura said with tears in her eyes



Li thought for a moment then smiled and nodded. He told he what to do, they stood there concentrating until they were bathed in a brilliant golden light. When the light disappeared a boy/girl stood there with silver hair, he/she wore white robes with a picture of the cross (Christian version). He/she smiled and fired a black magic blast at the card, the card used all it's strength making the barrier stronger but the magic blast easily neutralised it and hit the card. The explosion was huge leaving a massive crater, in the middle of the crater there was the bloody restoration greatly hurt. Sakura/Li separated and Li sealed the card.



"Great work Li but.what do we do about this" Sakura said pointing at the crater





Li thought for a moment "RESTORATION!"



The crater disappeared, and the card repaired the roof as well as healing everyone else.



*It's almost over* Li thought



A ship in orbit.

"Well what do you think of the boy now?"



"I must admit he's improving but without his friends he wouldn't have a chance"
