Sakura watched in horror as she saw her the entire classroom fade into
nothing but a black void of darkness.
"What's going on!" She shouted as broke into a run, trying to escape the endless black hole she now had entered.
"Do not worry Sakura...all will be answered in good time, just a few more moments of patience please..." A deep male voice replied.
"Clow Reed?" She whispered.
No reply was offered after the question was spoken. Slowly, Sakura sat down, staring off into the dark world when she heard a voice in the distance.
"Is anybody out there? Hello?"
Sakura instantly leapt up. "Touya?" She yelled as she began to dash fourth once more, towards the sound of the distant echo.
"Touya, if that's you keep talking!"
"Sakura, Sakura where are you?" He asked.
' Good the sound of his voice is growing closer...' she thought to herself.
After a few moments Sakura yielded before her brother and panted softly.
"What's going on here squirt? Why are we here?"
"Clow reed summoned me I guess but I don't understand why you're here..." she spoke softly as she gently hugged him. ' At least I am not alone in this creepy place any longer...but why is he here? He has nothing to do with the Sakura Cards...' she pondered silently as she released him.
"What does he want with me? I have nothing to do with those cards or the magic..."
Sakura shrugged and sighed when she heard another voice. "Hello! Can anyone here me?!"
"It's Li!" Sakura yelled as she dashed off in the direction of his voice.
"Sakura come back here..." Touya demanded as he ran after her, not wanting to lose track of her.
"Li, Li! It's me Sakura!"
After a few seconds Li responded as he ran towards the direction of the sound of her voice.
"Sakura?!?!"
The two soon crossed paths and were trailed by Touya. Li's face quickly shifted from passive to annoyance as he glared at her brother.
"Why is he here?"
"Because I summoned him..." Clow Reed replied as he materialized before the trio.
Kero then appeared before all of them.
"Mmmm pudding......hey! Where am I and where is my pudding?!"
"Worry about snacks later Kero..."
"Master Reed..." he whispered and grew silent.
"I'll explain in a moment, we're awaiting one more arrival..."
"Li, how did you get here?" Sakura interrogated.
"I was shopping in China with Meling when all the sudden everyone stopped moving and it became silent. Then everything faded out....it was strange." He replied as he ran his fingers through his messy brown locks of boyish hair.
Yue appeared behind Clow Reed and sighed softly.
"I am here now..." He replied in a stoic overtone.
"Very well then, let's get to it."
"I have summoned you four here in order to protect the Earth from peril, every ten thousand years or so all of the realms unite and host a great tournament of power to distinguish who is the greatest of them all...The winner of this tournament then becomes the ruler of all the realms if they desire the power. In this ten thousandth year the tournament consists of power hungry beings who will stop at nothing to gain dominance of this world and will send it into chaos....Sakura, I have chosen you to defend our Earth, the other three shall serve as her guardians and aid her in the tournament...There are many tag team battles and two on twos..."
Touya sighed softly. "Well I don't know what good I can do in order to help my sister when I have no magic or powerful skills to offer..."
Clow Reed smiled. "I'm getting to that my dear boy, all in good time..."
Clow Reed held out Sakura's card deck. "There you are my dear, you'll be needing these..."
Clow Reed then handed a velvet bag to Yue. "Currency for the tournament, I won't have anyone starve or go without shelter..."
He then approached Touya and placed his hands upon his shoulders. "I shall grant you the power of light and purity...you'll be able to help your sister and her other protectors recover from injuries and you are also now capable of holy magic...I cannot tell you how to use your powers though, unfortunately you must learn that upon your own..."
Touya simply nodded.
"You did lie though Touya, you are able to sense spirits and the unnatural, is that not why you were not surprised when your sister finally told you the truth about the cards and her guardian?"
He slowly nodded.
"Those gifts shall come in handy as well..."
"As for you Li....let me see your sword..."
Li slowly handed Reed his blade and sighed. The sorcerer simply smiled as he closed his eyes and waved his hand over it then laid his eyes upon the boy once more.
"As long as you battle with pure intentions this blade shall hold immense power, the moment you begin to battle with a tainted heart the sword shall fail....I also shall grant you with complete elemental powers, use them wisely...."
"Now then, I believe that is everything, so I shall send you off...until this entire tournament is complete all of the realms remain at a stand still in time...Nobody shall know you ever left will they know that you have come back. Once the tournament is complete time resumes once more...for the better or for the worse..."
To Be Continued...
