Chapter twenty: "Am I worthy to be the master?"

A ship in orbit.

"It begins"



"Don't cry Chien"



"Don't call me that"



"He shall pass or have you forgotten the faith you had in him?"



".Perhaps"



Reedington high.

"What are you talking about Ben?"



Ben smiled "The other guardian that you released was a spirit, a spirit that inhabited Ben's body and has taken control of Ben's body completely"



"So what your saying is you took Ben over for what?"



"To keep an eye on you and make sure your worthy now lets begin"



Ben tipped his head backwards mist escaped from his mouth creating a strange cloud, Ben himself collapsed and the cloud of mist shot towards Sakura going inside her.



"SAKURA!"



Sakura smiled "JUMP!"



She jumped into the air and landed on the other side of the school yard.



"What's going on here Korano?" Kero asked



Korano sighed "The spirit is the spirit of judgement, it inhabits the body of the candidates loved one and they fight each other if the candidate wins he is the master"



"WHAT!? I'M NOT GOING TO FIGHT SAKURA!"



Senosa floated over to him "if you want to be the master you have to Li"



A ship in orbit.

"He won't fight her he cares about her to much master"



"Hmmm"



"Master?"



Reedington high.

"WINDY!"



The windy card flew straight at Li restraining him, Li used the wet card and the water flew around the wind bonds disorientating the windy card forcing it to let go.



"FLIGHT!"



Li flew up into the air, Sakura used the fly and flew up after him using the shot card so she could fire pink magic beams at him. He dodged her attacks and used the weak card, she in turn used the power card and the fight card.



"It's battle of the card captors up there" Madison said.



"Li doesn't stand a chance if he keeps running like that" Korano said.



"He won't hurt her he loves her!" Meiling said.



Li blocked several blows from Sakura after using the strength card so he could whether her blows. She used the watery card, water was shot towards Li but Li used the heat card to evaporate the water before it came close to him.



"Sakura! Snap out of it its me Li!"



Sakura wasn't paying any attention as she continued her onslaught, Li used the earth card to make earth tentacles rise up and restrain Sakura.



"Sakura its me Li please stop it!"



Sakura broke out of the earth tentacles and started fighting Li again, Li moved backwards as fast as he could and Sakura used the arrow card. Li dodged the arrows as best he could but a couple cut his arm, he tried to fly low so he could buy a bit of time to use his elemental wind to restrain her but she used the sand card to cause a huge sand fist hit Li sending him into the roof hard.



A ship in orbit.

"He is losing"



"He will win its going exactly as I predicted"





Reedington high.

Sakura landed on the roof next to Li, she used the firey card but Li flew into the air and avoided it but then he noticed the roof on fire and used the wet card to put the fire out.



"Sakura stop!"



"SWORD!"



Li knew that his sword wouldn't last five seconds against the sword card so he did his best to avoid it, after a few seconds Li used the laser card and fired a red beam at the sword which turned it back to a staff.



*I'm running out of cards* Li thought *I can't take this anymore!*



"HUGE!"



Li grew 50 feet tall and grabbed Sakura restraining her even, with the power cards strength she couldn't break free.



"Sakura its me!" Li said with tears in his eyes "stop this now!"



Sakura stopped struggling and looked up at him.



"Sakura." a tear dropped onto her head.



The mist erupted from Sakura and she fell unconscious, the spirit disappeared but not entirely as 24 small orbs were left. One went into each of the Korano cards, the symbols on the back changed and they went from a blue colour to a silver colour.



"What's happening Korano?" Meiling asked.



"Li has been proclaimed the master of the Korano cards and the cards have changed into what you would call Li cards by now the books changed as well"



Li shrunk down back to his normal size, he laid Sakura on the ground just as her eyes opened.



"Did you win Li?"



Li smiled at her "yes Sakura it's over now"



"Actually it has only just begun"



Everyone looked over at the roof were they saw the cyborg holding Ben under his arm, he threw Ben off the roof but thanks to Sakura's quick thinking he was saved by the windy card.



"Until next time Li" he took off laughing as he went.



"Will Ben remember anything Korano?" Madison asked.



"No his memories will be replaced by false ones"



"Li are you all right?" Sakura asked.



"Sakura honestly no I'm not alright because I get the felling that there is a long road left to go before this is over"
