~~Recap~~ Ripping the pendant from her neck she held it out in her open hand and it started to emanate a bright yellow light as it began transformed into a long staff with a large crystalline star and two large wings on the end. The circling card about her head stopped moving and one of them started to glow and a shimmering dome of light surrounded her.

A few seconds later the black beam made contact and dispersed into shards of hundreds of harmless black lights. ~~~

Slowly the dome of shimmering light faded from around Sakura and she just stood there smiling.

Syoaron stood off to the side near the others with a warm smile. He was deeply proud at how well Sakura was handling herself right now and even more deeply proud that she has come to a more higher degree of control too.



"Bravo, bravo." Gregory just stared at her unimpressively. "Should we all clap and celebrate that you can control a single low level card so well?"

Sakura's smile slowly changed to a frown and she slowly raised her hand up to the moving circle of cards at her head.

Gregory cocked a brow at this. "And what is our little Card Mistress going to do now, hmm?"

"Why don't we take this somewhere far from here, somewhere with a lot more open space?" The ring of Cards stopped moving and the lead one started to glow a faint white. After a few brief seconds it flashed and filled the room with a blinding light, causing almost everyone, but Sakura, Eriol, Cerberus, and Yue, to cover their eyes.

~~~Field several miles away from the Li Residential Manor, still on the Li Residential Island~~~

When the light faded and Syoaron and the others opened their eyes again, they all saw that they were in an open field that occupied another part of the Li Residential Island.

Gregory looked at Sakura in slight shock. 'I never knew such a card existed.' "What card was that?"

Sakura smiled faintly. "That was the Teleport Card. One of six that I had created since I changed the Cards."

Gregory's look of shock deepened a little. 'She can create Cards of her own now?'

Sakura lowered her hand from the circling cards about her head towards Gregory and it started to emanate a pink glow. "My turn." A pink beam of energy left her hand and flew towards Gregory.

Upon seeing this, Gregory quickly fished through his pockets and pulled out his shield element card. But before he could say or do anything he felt something hit him square in the chest and was sent flying backwards and hit the ground several feet behind where he originally was. Slowly he stood back up and with a smirk. "Your stronger than I thought," he paused to take a small breath. "You're the second person that has been able to hit me with their magic, but it won't happen again." Instantly his hand shot up and he tossed out two of his elemental talismans. "Spirits of Water and Ice!"

The two talismans changed into river of water and large jagged chunks of ice.

Just as quickly, one of the cards near the side started to glow a faint red and then shot out towards the two spells, changing into a woman engulfed in flames.

Gregory laughed. "That was a stupid move little Girl, or did you forget that Fiery is uncontrollable and that it's weakness is water?"

Fiery and the two attacks collided causing steam to form.

Gregory just broke out into even more laughter.

Sakura just stood there with a small smirk on her face.

Off to the side, Syoaron looked at Sakura curious. Then he looked at Cerberus and Yue. "You two know what she's up to?"

Cerberus shook his head in response. "You know Sakura just as well as we do, maybe even more. When she's got something planned she doesn't tell until it happens."

Syoaron let out a small sigh. "Hai." then he looked up at her with a smile. "Her stubbornness is one of the reasons why I love her."

Yelen looked at Eriol with a small smile. "You were planning on them two loving falling for each other weren't you?"

Eriol smiled at her. "If you mean if my past self was planning on this, I wouldn't know."

Yelen just let out a small laugh and turned back to watch.

Five seconds later his laughter stopped and he stared in shock when the steam vanished, for Fiery was still standing and the flames that engulfed her body were glowing even brighter then before.

Gregory's laughter came to a stop when he saw this. 'This is impossible. No way that Fiery could have withstood that.'

"You forgot that the powers that comes with being the Mistress of the Cards is the magical ability to control the four Element Cards." Sakura waved her hand at the ring of cards at her head and three other ones started to glow and transformed into three more beautiful woman, one made of water, Watery, one of wind, Windy, and one of earth, Earthy. With a wave of her hand the four turned back into cards and they floated back up and joined the other cards.

"That was a stupid wasting of your magic like that just to prove you can control the four Elementals." Gregory smiled. "Which makes you too weak to stop this." Instantly he leveled his hand and launched another large black beam of magic at Sakura.

Taking a deep breath she lifted her hand back towards the cards and they stopped moving. Two cards began to glow black and white as the transformed. Both cards turned in two beautiful women, one dressed in white and the other dressed in black, the Light and the Dark cards. She closed her eyes and mentally pictured the two becoming one half in white and half in black. When she opened her eyes she smiled when she saw that it worked and that they had combined. Slowly the new form of the Light and Dark Cards lifted her right hand and fired a beam of white and black energy at the black beam. When the two beams collided the pure black was absorbed into the white and black and continued towards Gregory. The beam stopped just inches from him and then vanished and the true form of Light and Dark turned back into two cards and joined the others around her head.

When Gregory opened his eyes to see that he was still alive he looked up at Sakura in shock and thought, 'Why didn't she finish me off when she had the chance? That attack probably would of killed me.' Then he noticed that she was glowing yellow and that the yellow light was gathering in front of her and slowly taken a rectangular shape. When the light faded he saw that she was holding in her hand a new card. 'She wasn't lying when she said she could create cards. Then he noticed that she raised the card above her head.

Closing her eyes, Sakura slowly started to gather her magical energy about herself. Opening her eyes she willed the pink light she emanated to gather in front of her and to take a rectangular shape.

Syoaron watched in awe as Sakura channeled her magical energies. "What she doing?"

Eriol stepped up beside him. "She's creating a New Card, a very powerful one too."

Syoaron turned and looked at Eriol. "What you mean?"

Eriol frowned and looked at him. "I mean that she is creating a Card that even my past self would never dare create."

Syoaron turned and looked back at Sakura. "Is there a chance that it could kill her?"

Eriol frowned again as he too looked back at the scene. "Only her will and time can tell."

When this happened there was a bright flash and when it vanished there resting in her hand was a new Star Card. On it was a picture a skeleton dressed in a tattered robe holding in one hand a scythe and in the other an hourglass, and on the bottom was written Death. She lifted the card above her head and it started to glow a dark black color. Looking at Gregory she said, "It's time to end this."
