Chapter 10

It was a minute to midnight when Sakura approached the front of Reedington Elementary. In her arms, she held the Card Book. At her side, stood Li.
"Do you think this will work?" asked Sakura in an uncertain voice.
"Mackenzie's plan is risky," replied Li, "but I do think it has a better chance of success than anything either of us could think of. Just remember what you have to do and I'm sure everything will work."
As they got closer, Sakura noticed something lying in front of the school's doorway; it was a body, and the body was Madison Taylor's.
"Madison!" Sakura began running frantically up to her friend and knelt down. "Madison! Madison are you okay?" But Madison did not reply. At first, Sakura thought that maybe Madison was unconscious, however, her eyes were still open. Upon closer inspection, the eyes seemed empty and vacant, as if devoid of any and all life.
Li then approached them. "Be careful Sakura! This could be a trap."
Sakura was getting very worried about her friend. "Come on Madison, say something! Li, what's wrong with her?"
Li knelt down and placed his fingers on Madison's wrist. "I'm not sure. I can feel a pulse, but it's very weak."
"Well I'm glad to see that you're punctual." Sakura and Li looked up to see Chron Eternal standing there before them.
"You!" Sakura said in an uncharacteristically angry voice. "What have you done to Madison?"
"Oh she's safe," said Chron. From out of his coat, he pulled a glowing blue crystal. "I have temporarily removed her soul from her body for safekeeping."
Both Sakura and Li were horrified. "You what?"
"That's right, I've removed her soul. I got the idea from watching Yu-Gi- Oh. Have you ever seen that show by the way? I find it very entertaining."
"You're sick!" shouted Sakura, now sounding both angry and terrified. "Put Madison back!"
"Oh don't worry. I have every intention of giving your friend back, just as soon as you give me the Cards."
"They're not your Cards!" said Li. "They're Sakura's now!"
"But they should've been mine! Clow Reed promised he would give them to me, but he broke his promise! Well I'm not going to spend the rest of eternity wondering what might've been! You're going to give me the Cards Sakura, or else kiss your rich friend's soul adios!"
"All right, all right! You win!" said Sakura. "Here, take the book!"
Sakura extended the book to Chron, who wasted no time in snatching it from her hands. He began to caress the cover of the book with his fingers.
"Yesss... the Cards are here. I can feel their power!"
Unfastening the magic seal, Chron opened the book so that he may look upon the Cards within. However, when he opened the book, the Cards were NOT inside. Instead what he found was...
"SURPRISE!"
Little Kero came flying out of the book, and, before you could say, 'Release the light' three times, he yanked Chron's ring off of his finger and flew back to Sakura with it.
"Yes! You did it! Good job Kero!" congratulated Sakura.
"Ho yeah! That was too easy!" Kero chuckled. "Hey Chron! Didn't see that one comin' did ya?"
Chron was understandably stunned. "But the Cards! I could sense their energy! How...?"
"I was able to disguise Kero's magical energy to resemble the energy of the Cards," said Sakura with a little hint of pride. "Just a little trick I learned from the greatest teacher in the world!"
"Without your ring," Li said, "You'll start to age. Looks like we've got a bargaining chip also!"
Indeed, Chron was already starting to show signs of rapid ageing as his appearance began to change from a young boy to that of a twenty-year-old man (and a very angry man he appeared to be as well.)
"Give us back Madison," said Sakura, "and we'll give you back your ring."
"Never!" snarled Chron. "I'll destroy you for even contemplating stealing from me!" And with that, Chron fired a blast of magical energy directly in Sakura's path.

Well, as OrchidAngel was able to guess, Chron's name means "Time Eternal". Thank you for playing our game! Oh, and as always, please R & R!
