Disclamier-I don't own cc.
The figure rised it's staff above it's head and said"Dark Spear!" a spear made of dark engery materalized. "I'll ask you one last time! Give me the cards or perish!"shouted the figure.
"No."
"Then perish!" The figure launched the dark spear at Sakura.
"Shield Release and Dispel!" An invisible barrier appeared around Sakura, and the dark spear disappeared on contact. Sakura was feeling confident that she could beat this mystery attacker. But then the figure pointed its staff at Shield, then Shield's visible form appeared and was being pulled toward the figure.
'Oh no! 'Sakura thought. "Return your powers confined Shield card!" Then Shield returned to its card form. "How did you do that!" Sakura yelled.
"My staff isn't called 'Key of the Void' for nothing! I can suck up any card you use!" The figure launched another dark spear and another, each time they made contact with the ground they would make a small explosion. Sakura dodged the first few but it caused her to overbalanced and fall over. "Release and Dispel! Bind Card!" Shouted the Figure. Dark chains materialized and tied up Sakura's wrists, ankles and arms. She struggled to get free, but couldn't move at all! "Don't tell me you've never heard of Void Cards? Now die!" Shouted the Figure, launching a Dark Spear at Sakura.
"Force know my plight! Release the light! Lighting!" shouted a familiar voice. A thunderbolt appeared and collided with the Dark Spear, negating it. Sakura knew that incantation anywhere!
"Li!" she tried to turn so she could see him, which was difficult since she could barley move. Li came over and cut Sakura's bonds, in spite of the battle she couldn't resist hugging him, tightly.
"Sakura.. can't...Breathe" Was all Li could manage to say. Sakura lighted her grip but still hugged him. Li had to pick her to jump out of the way before the next Dark Spear hit.
"I think we should save the reunion till after we beat this guy." Li said. Sakura Reluctantly let go and focused on the battle.
"Dark Spear!"
"Lighting!" The two beams collided, each one trying to push the other back.
"Sakura! Tell Thunder to merge with the brat's lighting that way you can win." said another voice.
"Kero where'd you come from?" asked Sakura.
"Not important, just call Thunder!" said Kero.
"Thunder card, merge with Li's lighting, release and dispel! Thunder!"A blue wolf with sparks comming off it appeared and dove into Li's lighting giving it extra strength. The Lighting pushed back the Dark Spear and hit the figure forcing it to the ground. Sakura and Li thought they had won when the Figure started laughing!
"Not bad for a couple of kids! But I expected no less of the Card Misstress and a direct desendent of Clow Reed. But how will you handle this! Dark Virage!" A score(20) Dark Spears appeared and launced themselves at the Cardcaptors. Li managed to deflect most of them with his sword,but one hit him in the shoulder. Li tried not to cry out in pain. Sakura saw what happened and said
"That's it! Release and Dispel Move Card!" The Figure's staff disappeared and reappeared under Sakura's foot ."No wand, no magic!" Shouted Sakura.
"Not quite!" countered the Figure, it pointed at it's staff and said "Return to me!" The black staff came out from under Sakura's foot causing her to fall. The staff stopped in the Figure's hands. "Dark Virage!" shouted the Figure. Li was too tried from the last time, and Sakura's wand wasn't suited for deflecting magic. But then they were covered by golden wings which shielded them. It was Keroberos!
"Thanks Keroberos." Sakura said. Li didn't say anything.
"I think It's time to finish this!"Keroberos said.
"I agree." said Li "Source of light with ancient spins, send the magic power within! powers of gold, wood, fire, ice, wind, and electricity, Force know my plight! Release the light! Lighting!" a massive thunderbolt emerged from Li's sword, Headed straight for the Figure.
"Dark Lance!" shouted the Figure. A more powerfully version of the Dark Spear materalized. The two blasts collided. Seemingly equal in power but Li was slowly getting pushed back!
"Here let me help." said Sakura. She put her staff on his sword, and her other hand on his shoulder."Now let's chant together!" said Sakura "Source of light with Anceint Spins, send forth the Magic Power Within! Powers of Gold, Wood, Fire, Ice, Wind, and Electricity, Force know our plight, RELEASE THE LIGHT! LIGHTING! A thunderbolt with staggering power and blinding light came from the two weapons. It hit the Figure full force and the Figure fell to the ground, but once more it arose. The Figure's cloak was ripped up enough so Sakura could see the attacker's face. It was a girl that looked as tall as Yue but with long black hair. No one else saw what Sakura did. Li was out cold from using so much energy, and Keroberos' eyes were still recovering from the flash.
"You... Haven't....Seen...The Last...Of Me!" The girl struggled to say. She then reached into a pocket pulled out a bag, took something out of it, and threw it on the ground. In another flash the girl was gone. The trio stayed at the park, recovering, Sakura ran over to where Li was lying and place his head in her lab. As she stroked his messy brown hair, she hoped he would wake up, after 10 minutes he did and the first thing his amber eyes saw was a beautiful pair of emerald ones. He smiled at Sakura.
" I never got the chance to thank you for saving my life." said Sakura.
"I'm just glad I got here when I did." Li moved himself into a sitting position and hugged Sakura. She hugged him back. Then the outside world started to fade as the two lovers embraced one another. Nothing else mattered just them and their first peacefull time together in 4 years. Little did they know Madison had been hiding nearby, taping their battle and now their moment. Madison shifted to get a better position, and that's when Li noticed her. He turned beet red and yelled
"Madison give me that tape!" By now Sakura had noticed Madison too and also turned a very dark shade of red.
" Madison! How long have you been there?"
"Long enough to capture that battle and an extremely kawaii moment." Madison replied. Then Kero came over.
"You can let her go anytime now, kid."
"I see the stuffed animal is still around." Li said.
"I just saved your life! I expect a little gratitude." said Kero. That's when Meilin showed up.
" I(pant) finally(pant) caught up(pant) to you." said Meilin.
"Hey Meilin, why are so exausted?"asked Sakura.
"I was trying to catch up with Li." said Meilin
"Huh?"
"We were taking a a cab to your house Sakura when Li said 'Sakura's in trouble.' He got out of the cab and took off like a rocket." Li started to go red again.
"So you felt this evil presence and came to help?" asked Madison.
"That's not exactly why we came...." said Li, his faces getting redder.
"He missed you too much!" said Meilin to Sakura ."His mom could tell how miserable he was, so she sent him here."
"Meilin!" Li shouted. After what Meilin said his blush intesified. Meilin just gigled and smiled innocently.
"Is this true?" asked Madison she already knew the answer but wanted to hear Li say it so she could film his reaction. "Yes, it is," Li said after a pause. Hearing this Sakura pecked him on the cheek, and they both became very red indeed. Kero couldn't stand 'the kid' being so close to Sakura. So he decided to break it up. "Hey kid do you know who attacked us?"he asked
"No I don't." Li replied.
" Sakura do you?"
"Not really but I do have a clue." Sakura said
"What?"
"They said they were familiar with the Clow Cards origins." Sakura said
"Maybe Eli knows something." Madison said" He did make the Clow Cards after all." Sakura could tell by the look in her eyes and the tone of her voice, Madison had other reasons for seeing Eli.
"Okay let's call Eli." said Sakura. The group went to Sakura's house and called Eil who was in England. they used a phone that allowed them to see whoever they were calling.(like the ones in Pokemon). "Hi Eli." said Sakura.
"Hello Sakura," said Eli" I see my cute descendent is there with you, perfect. "Li would have made a comment on being called 'cute desendent' but he was too busy blushing. "How long till you have to go back." asked Eli
"I'm not," said Li. Sakura was afraid of what his answer would be, but after he said those two words she got so happy she thought she would pop.
"That is very good news, but I assume you called me for a differnet reason. "Eli said .
"We were attacked in the park, but when don't know who was it." said Kero. Before Eli answered he noticed Li's wound.
"What happened to you Cute descendent?" he asked
"The attacker hit me with a Dark Spear." Li replied. Recognition was in Eli's eyes as he spoke
"Did your attacker have a black staff with a red star?" he asked
"Yes "Li and Sakura said.
"Did they have a chant like' Key of the Void, with the power to fight, reveal the staff, to extinguish the light! Release'?"
"Yes!" said Sakura.
"I know who it was." said Eli.
"Who?!" everyone asked. Eli said one word" Nightshade. My greatest rival in my former life. We fought for years before I finally overcame her." "Nightshade," said Kero trying to remember" I remember, She tried to destroy Clow Reed, myself, Yue and take the Clow Cards." "She almost succeeded." said Eli.
FLASHBACK
"Master what will we do today?" asked Keroberos. "We will..."Started Clow Reed, but then he acted like he sensed something. "Come on out Nightshade! "He called .
"So you noticed." said a voice. Then a girl Clow Reed's age appeared form out of the shadows. "Our long standing Rivalry ends here Clow Reed! Today you will die! and I will take the Clow Cards!" challenged Nightshade "Key of Void, with the power to fight, reveal the staff to extinguish the light! Release!"
"You want my cards? Come and take them witch!" countered Clow Reed. "I call upon the powers of the Day and the Night, Sun and Darkness, unleash your might! Release! "We fought for days, neither one of us giving the other any quarter (mercy)." Explained Eli. I finally gained the upper hand and struck her down. But I was far to weakened by the fight to finish her off, so I attempted to seal her away in a dimensional prison. With the help of Yue and Keroberos, I succeeded."
END FLASHBACK
"So now she back and wants your cards Sakura." said Eli.
"We beat her once, and we'll beat her again!" said Kero.
"Keyword 'We'"said Eli "Nightshade could beat anyone of us single-handed, but she can't beat all of us." Eli continued" Li this is very important, You must stay by Sakura's side at all times." This made Sakura and Li blush slightly. "Look at it this way cute descendent, you'll be able to be with Sakura without Tori giving you a hard time. Meilin you should stay with them too, Sakura will need all the help she can get."
"Then why don't you come to Japan?" asked Madison hopefully. "You said it yourself Sakura will need all the help she can get."
"If that is what you wish Madison." said Eli "By the way, I see you're wearing the necklace I give you."
'So Eli gave Madison the necklace!' thought Sakura. Madison blushed crimson as she replied
"Yes, I wear it all the time."
" I will see you very soon Madison." Eli said and hung up.
"I can't wait." was all Madison had to say before leaving.
"So Li, where are you and Meilin staying?" asked Sakura.
"We hadn't thought that far yet." said Li.
"Why don't we stay with you?" asked Meilin "Eli told us to be together at all times."
"WHAT?!" Kero was beside himself with anger." The Brat is NOT staying with us!"
"Don't call him a brat!" said Sakura.
"Are you going to disobey your former master?" asked Meilin.
"I, but he, oh alright." said Kero reluctantly." There's no way Tori will be okay with this!" "I'll just tell Dad the situation and he'll convince Tori." said Sakura. So they all went to Sakura's house.
Meanwhile in England
"Ruby, Spinner, pack your bags because we're going to Japan." announced Eli ."Yes I'll get to see Tori again!" said Ruby.
"Master May I ask why we're going to Japan?" asked Spinner. "Nightshade is back and we have to help protect the Card Mistress." Answered Eli while packing his suitcase.
" I see you're putting a lot of formal clothes in there, why?" asked a smiling Ruby. "We wouldn't be fighting Nightshade the whole time we're there, I might have time for a little fun." said Eli he was blushing.
So what do you think? I promised S+L and E+M and I delivered. Please be patient waiting for ch.3.
