Tomoyo pulled out her cards, light and dark came out first, along with shadow, create, fly, sword and shield. Luan transformed into Luna in all her magnificence and Sune revealed his true form in all it's splendor, in the place of the small toy stood a large pure white leopard with golden spots and a large amethyst adorning his forehead and shoulder plates. A smiles crossed Tomoyo's features as she used the create card to change her perceived features, she changed her coal black hair to a light shade of brown and her eyes to a striking shade of emerald. She looked almost like an older version of Sakura; that gave Tomoyo a sly idea, summoning the mirror card she used it to help alter her other features and literally look like an older version of Sakura. Returning mirror to card form Tomoyo summoned the song card and used it to alter her voice and make it sound like Sakura's as an adult. Smiling coyly an older duplicate of Sakura flew out from behind the trees with her two guardians towards Eriol when a thought struck her, her aura was a different color! Quickly she used a new card she'd created, the disguise card. A man wearing khakis and a forest green shirt appears, "I'd like you to make my aura color pink, like that of Sakura Kinomoto." The card smiled at it's mistress and waved it's hand before returning to card form. Simply perfect.

The stage was set, time for action, were the only words passing through her mind at that moment. The sky turned black and Tomoyo appears in front of Eriol, an emerald sword held in her right hand. "My dear, what might a wizard of your caliber be doing out so late when it is so dark outside, we wouldn't want you to get lost in the shadows now would we?" Tomoyo, surrounded by an unearthly glow stepped closer to Eriol, a sly smile on her lips. "You aren't real," he said calmly, too calmly for my taste actually. "Last time I checked I was real." I said with a pout, pretending to sit down in mid air, "it isn't nice to go around calling people 'unreal', other people have feelings too my dear Eriol-Kun, keep that in mind before you attempt to use another in a coy plot."

And with that Tomoyo lands and her wings disappearing as she tries to walk away from him, her guardians still well hidden in the bushes. Eriol looks at her and speaks ever-so-calmly, "Now, why would you think I would let a spirit leave here without being re-captured?" Musical laughter escapes her lips, "I'm not a spirit to capture, I'm only human you fool," Eriol suddenly has a staff with flames erupting from it's tip, hitting Tomoyo directly, knocking her back a few feet and unconscious, Luna and Sune appear out of no-where in front of their mistress, "You'll pay for hurting our mistress you fool and to think she told us to stay out of this.." growls Sune while standing protectively in front of Tomoyo. A tear falls down Luna's cheek and he catches it, while crying out, "Tears of redemption!" A powerful attack charges towards Eriol but Tomoyo appears out of no-where in front of him, taking the whole blow. The game had gotten way out of hand, blood is dripping all around her and she pulls out two cards, "Heal me.. block the on-going attacks.." A woman clothed in white appears from a card, startling Eriol to no end. She glares at Eriol and bends over Tomoyo whispering, "Mistress, please live." Light shines around Tomoyo and she is healed. Eriol bends over Tomoyo, about to touch her face when Syaoran and Sakura appear at the scene and Tomoyo opens her eyes that flicker golden for a millisecond, but that doesn't go unnoticed by Eriol. Who just like Tomoyo, now adopts a disguise in front of Sakura and Syaoran. Tomoyo smiles charmingly at Syaoran and says, "Watch out for him he's a tricky one, te-" But before Tomoyo gets the chance to finish her sentence Eriol's hand is pressed over her mouth. Tomoyo bites his hand and escapes his grasp, fleeing to her guardians for safety.
