Chapter 4: Void vs. Nashiko

"Void card.. Please help me to defeat Nashiko, for the sake of me, my friends and family.." Sakura prayed. Then, Sakura opened her eyes again and with her wand, she said " I call upon the power of my star!!!!! Ancient forces near and far!!! Void card reveal your true self before me and draw your power from my light!!!!!!! VOID!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura yelled.

Huge winds surrounded the Void Card, as it transformed into it's true self. The Void card then turned around to face Sakura, her master. "Sakura, I'll try my best to defeat Nashiko." she said smiling. Sakura just stared as tears began to form in her eyes.

"Ok..." Sakura said quietly. Then, the Void card turned around to face Nashiko, and gave her an angry look. She then attacked Nashiko with all her might. Huge beams of light and wind began to form around the two powerful cards.

"AHHHHHHHHHAAA!!!!!!!" Sakura yelled, as she began to get blown away from the wind. Yue quickly came, and grabbed Sakura, heading towards the ground where Li, Tomoyo and Mei-lin were. Keroberos followed them from behind. By the time they all safely got to the ground, Sakura fainted. Her wings had disappeared and blood stains were all over her.

"SAKURA!!!!!!!!!!" Tomoyo and Mei-lin screamed and headed straight for her, crying hysterically. "a.ARE YOU OK????!!!!!" they screamed with fear. Sakura didn't say anything. "w.what's WRONG WITH HER??!!!!" Mei-lin screamed at Keroberos, shaking Sakura. Tomoyo just covered both of her hands over her mouth, eyes bulging out because she had cried so much.

"is..is she.." Tomoyo stammered, eyes getting wider. "NO!!!!!!!! SHE'S NOT!!!!!!" Yue yelled back. "she just fainted because she used so much magic!!!!!!!!!!" Keroberos yelled.

"LI!!!!!!!!!" Mei-lin screamed heading for straight for him. She crashed into him, crying with fright. She was hugging him tight, then slowly loosened her grip. "are.are you ok?" Mei-lin said looking directly into his eyes.

"I.I'm fine..." Li said, squinting one of his eyes. He then jerked his head towards Sakura, who was still fainted. Her clothes were torn, her creamy, white skin scratched and bleeding, and had bruises everywhere on her body. Tomoyo was beside her, holding Sakura's hand, as tears continually dropped from her eyes.

"s.SAKURA!!!" Li yelled, as he ran towards her with Mei-lin. When they got there, Li grabbed Sakura's shoulders and shook her. "wake up!!!!! WAKE UP SAKURA!!!" Li yelled, as he slowly pulled her close to his chest, hugging her tightly.

"Sakura, you IDIOT, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO UP THERE, AND GET HURT!!!!!! YOU PROMISED ME . you promised me that you wouldn't get hurt.. " Li thought. Then, huge flashes of light, beamed above them, where Void and Nashiko were fighting. Everyone looked above, with shocked faces. Void's energy and Nashiko's energy were both so great, no one could tell who was stronger. They attacked each other with huge energy balls, which sent great winds to the ground every time they threw it at each other.

"I will NEVER let you win!!!!!!" Void screamed. "Let's just SEE ABOUT THAT!!!!!" Nashiko yelled. Then, Void created a huge ball of energy preparing to throw it at Nashiko. Nashiko also created a powerful energy ball, about the size of Void's. Then, they screamed, "TAKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!", and threw the two massive balls at each other. Li, Sakura, Mei-lin, Tomoyo, Yue and Keroberos were watching helplessly. They didn't bother attacking Nashiko because they knew that they couldn't win.

"ARRGGGGGGRRRRHHHH. we HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!!!" Li yelled at Keroberos and Yue. "BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? NONE OF OUR POWERS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO DEFEAT HER!!!" Keroberos yelled back.

Suddenly, a very big blue energy shield surrounded Nashiko, electrical currents going around it. Nashiko was chuckling loudly, as the blue energy shield got bigger and bigger. Void saw this and didn't give up. She narrowed her eyes, and gave Nashiko a very angry look. A huge yellow energy shield surrounded Void, shining so brightly everyone below had to look away.

"I.I WON'T give up!!!." Void said to Nashiko, as her yellow energy shield kept getting larger and larger. Nashiko, just gave back an evil grin at Void, twisting her lips tightly.

"H...HUH~!!!!! no..NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yue yelled. "WHAT!!!!!! WHAT'S WRONG!!!!?????" Li yelled at Yue. Yue just watched what was happening in shock, his eyes getting wider by the second. "they...they ARE GOING TO KILL US ALL WITH ALL THAT POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!" Keroberos screamed. They looked above again, and saw that Void's energy ball and Nashiko's energy ball were equal in size. Huge wind went around it, making everyone down below get pulled back.

"e.EVERYONE!!!!!! GO HIDE BEHIND THE BUSHES!!!!" Keroberos yelled, as he quickly got Li and Sakura on his back. Yue grabbed Tomoyo and Mei-lin, heading straight for the bushes.

"I'll defeat you.." Void said, with an angry look. Nashiko just chuckled, and gave Void an evil look. Then, as their powers grew stronger and stronger, and their energy balls got bigger and bigger, Void and Nashiko couldn't control their powers anymore. "THIS.THIS POWER!!!!!" Nashiko screamed, while Void was squinting one of her eyes, because of the immense power.

"THEY..THEY ARE GOING TO EXPLODE!!!!!!!" Li yelled. The whole crowd watched in shock, while Tomoyo and Mei-lin were screaming at the top of their lungs. No one could calm them down. Suddenly, everything became quiet, and then...

"whooosh.......BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "ah..AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" void screamed, as Nashiko did as well. Then, everything went so bright, no one could keep their eyes open. Li grabbed Sakura and hugged her tight, to protect her. Tomoyo and Mei-lin's scream couldn't be heard anymore, because the sound of the bang was much louder. Yue grabbed Tomoyo and Mei-lin as tight as he could and spread out his wings on top of them, to protect them. Keroberos spread out their large wings and covered Li and Sakura. Sakura was still fainted.

Light covered up everything, nothing could be seen, and everyone was fainted. Void or Nashiko was no where to be seen. "a...aaaaaaahhhh.." Li groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. He was hurt, and very tired. He couldn't move. "where...where is everyone???" Li said quietly. He couldn't see clearly, because he kept closing his eyes every now and then, but finally managed to see. He seemed to be on a flat surface, "yes.this is the ground..but I can't..aaaaahhh my head.." he groaned some more. "I can't remember what just happened...." he said, as he tried to stand up. He opened his eyes more, and saw a figure on the ground as well. It was Mei-lin

" M.Mei-lin??? Where...where.are Sakura, Tomoyo and..Keroberos????.." he said as he slowly headed to where they were. As he got closer, he shook Mei-lin as hard as he can. He slapped her a few times to wake her up. "Meilin..wake up!!!!! Wake UP!!!!!" he yelled. He couldn't yell loud enough because he was too weak.

Finally Mei-lin slowly opened her eyes and looked at Li. "huh??..Li..." Mei- lin said as she tried to stand up. "what...what just happened???...where is everyone...and where's void and Nashiko?.....ahhhh" she groaned. "ahh..AAAAHHH!!!!" she yelled as she felt her arm. Mei-lin's arm had blood and scratch marks on it.

"Mei-lin!! are you ok? What's wrong..?" Li asked with a worried face. "My. my arm, I can't move it, it hurts every time I do.." Mei-lin said as she tried to hold back her tears.

"Here..try to support it with your right arm." he said to her kindly. "but.where's Sakura, and...the others???.." Mei-lin asked with a pale face. "I...I don't know, Mei-lin." Li replied back. Then, they heard a groaning sound coming from behind them. "aahhhhhh." they heard. They quickly turned around and saw Yue. He was hurt and weak.

"Y.Yue!!!" Li yelled as he ran towards Yue with Mei-lin. "are you ok..?" Li asked. "I...I'm fine." Yue said. Suddenly Yue stood up almost instantly, with his eyes wide. "I know..I can't fine the others either.." Mei-lin said to Yue. "what...what happened to void and Nashiko??" he asked with a serious face.

"I.I don't know!" Li yelled. "I think that we should start looking for the others..they should be close by..." he said. Yue still had a serious face. After awhile he suddenly said "COME ON!!!!!!!!" and started to fly straight towards the bushes. Li and Mei-lin didn't bother asking where he was going. They just ran as fast as they could, and followed Yue.
