Second Generation Cardcaptors 42

Digidynasty: I guess I should apologize for waiting so long to write the ending, but I started so many projects I couldn't keep track of them all. Syaoran: You're damn right you should apologize! I've been waiting forever to see the ending! Makoto: Yeah! Me too! Digidynasty: Boy you guys are so alike it's annoying! ANYWAYS, here's the last chapter.

Smirking as he now had an audience, Abbadon, with one hand around the Book of the Underworld, ran his other hand through the unsuspecting Fushuku. Everyone gasped as Abbadon then pulled his bloodied arm back, holding Fushuku's heart!

Fushuku, still in shock, fell down and landed in a pool of his own blood.

Simultaneously, Akiko and Meeko screamed and hid their eyes from the bloodshed.

"Now I have all the pieces!" He exclaimed. He opened the book and as he held up the still beating heart he read the passage to summon his army. As soon as he was finished, the heart burned into ashes in his hands and black holes opened up all around the group and from them, creatures of all sorts came materializing out of them.

"The Black Sun! You've got to be kidding me!" Syaoran exclaimed, holding his Li Clan sword out and ready.

"Unfortunately no." Eriol said calmly. "We still may have a chance. If we can get that book away from him, I might be able to send his creatures back into hell."

"What about Abbadon himself!?" Sakura said worriedly as the holes beneath the monsters sealed up and the armed undead closed in on their prey.

"The cardcaptors will have to use the elements to seal him away." Eriol looked down at the children. "Split up and while we fight the monsters, I'll need you to get the cards ready."

Shinji nodded. "Right!"

"We will dispense of these and allow Eriol to get to Abbadon himself." Yue explained.

"You can count on us!" Meeko assured.

"All right! Let's do this!" Syaoran gave the signal and everyone separated into groups.

"Fly!" Sakura called out her fly card and large white wings grew from her back. Flying into the air, she, along with Yue and Keroberus allowed a few of the creatures to follow them off to the side. "Kero-chan! Go and stay with Syaoran-kun!"

The winged lion's mouth fell wide open. "What!? You serious?"

Nodding, Sakura called out the sword card and transformed her wand into a sword. "Yes! Yue and I will be enough! Now go!"

Growling his discontent, Keroberus flew off to join the Li Clan Monarch.

The monsters the Clow Card Mistress faced resembled knights in armor, except the space in between the armor was empty! Glowing red eyes filled the blackness of their helmets and they wielded swords. "Let's go, Yue-san!" Flying down, Sakura used the innate power of the sword's knowledge to go one on one with the creatures.

Yue pulled back his blue-lighted bow and arrow and destroyed three of the knights coming up behind Sakura. "No one harms my mistress." He said, narrowing his gray eyes in warning.

Ruby Moon was having a ball with her adversaries. Swarms of black bats flew at her and with one arm raised, she aimed her red fire crystals at them, easily dispatching of them. "That was almost too easy!"

"It's not over yet!" Spinel Sun flapped his wings and tried to stop the downed monsters from morphing as they were appearing to do. One by one the small bats which were to easily destroyed grew into bat-men with heads like bats but large human bodies that were covered in fur. "You have to say something, didn't you Ruby Moon?" He asked sarcastically.

Giggling nervously, Ruby Moon sent energy into her arm and dove down to battle the bat creatures up close. Spinel Sun opened his mouth and sent a fiery attack to char others that weren't formed yet.

Eriol looked around the battlefield and saw Hitori and Madoushi-sensei battling Abbadon. They will not be able to defeat him like that. It will take the four elements to save us.

Syaoran cursed as he tried dodging the attacks of the creatures sent against him. With baldheads and large turtle shells on their backs, the monsters had a good defense as well as offense.

"These are Kappa!" Keroberus explained. "Fire should work well against them!" Opening his mouth he demonstrated his theory by vaporizing three with one wave.

"Gee, thanks! Like I couldn't tell for myself!" Syaoran squeezed the hilt of his weapon and unleashed a fiery blaze of his own, destroying a hand full more. But where dozens fell, others took their place. "There's no end to them!"

"You took away my friendships!" Hitori attacked viciously with her sais. "You took over my mother!" Dodging his counterstrike, Hitori leapt behind the dark lord. "You used me to hurt my friends!" Jumping up, she landed on his shoulders and ran her twin blades deep into his neck. "And for that I will see you sent back to hell!"

Grabbing her by the back of the shirt, Abbadon threw the pest off him and Madoushi rushed to catch her daughter.

"I fear our strength will not be enough." The woman said.

Growling, Hitori got back to her feet. "But I will not stand by and do nothing!"

"Nothing is what you will soon become, young one!" Abbadon smirked, his victory at hand.

Flying up to a tree, Shinji held out Windy. I'm ready! He sent to Meeko.

"Gotcha!" Meeko pulled out her staff. "Fly!" Flapping her wings, Meeko flew up to the top of another tree. Then she held out Watery. Looking around for her brother, Meeko thought, Shinji and I are ready. What about you two?

Meeko climbed to the top of a boulder and stopped to catch his breath. Almost...there. Then he took out Fiery. Akiko, where you at?

Akiko, using Float, flew up to another high advantage point. Ready to go.

"Good," Said Makoto. "Now all we have to do is wait for Eriol's signal."

Eriol, seeing all the children in place, ran towards Abbadon. "You're downfall is at hand." He brought out his staff and began firing large red energy blasts at the dark lord.

Abbadon simply raised an arm and blocked the attack. Laughing, he looked down at the reincarnation of his most hated enemy. "Clow-sama, so nice of you to visit. Are you here to be put to your death once again?"

"This time I will see you destroyed Abbadon!" Eriol said, tightening his hands on his staff.

With Abbadon's attention on Eriol, the small raccoon like creature easily jumped on the dark lord and snagged the Book of the Underworld away.

"What!?" Turning around, Abbadon saw Hitori recalling the Create card with a smile. "Something I took back when you weren't looking." She revealed. Then, lifting up the Book of the Underworld, Hitori threw it at Eriol. "Catch!"

Jumping into the air, Eriol flipped and caught the dangerous book. When he landed, he could see the fear in Abbadon's eyes. "No!" Shouted the monster.

Opening the book, Eriol immediately chanted the spell that would vanquish all Abbadon's Black Sun into hell.

As Sakura and Yue fought the bodiless knights, the black holes that created them formed once more and both had to react quickly by jumping into the air. The black holes sucked in the minions of hell and closed up without any evidence of their existence.

Syaoran flew over on Keroberus, also having took to the air and sighed with relief when he saw Sakura safe and sound. "Glad to see you're alright."

"Are you saying I couldn't properly protect her?" Yue asked, crossing his arms.

Sweatdropping, Syaoran shook his head. "N-not at all."

Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun joined Eriol as Hitori and Madoushi held him off from the right. Sakura and Syaoran, along with Yue and Keroberus blocked off his exit to the left. "This is the end for you Abbadon. This time there will be no escape." Eriol lifted his staff. "Now cardcaptors!"

"NO!" Abbadon shouted in worry.

"Fiery!" Makoto struck his card.

"Windy!" Shinji used his staff to hit the card.

Meeko raised her staff. "Watery!"

Akiko pulled down her staff and activated the last element. "Earthy!"

At once all four cards lit up and the elements were released. They flew down at Abbadon and wrapped around him from all four directions. As they spun faster, they began to close in around him and formed a chain that bound Abbadon's arms down against his body. "This cannot be!"

Then without warning, all the second set of Clow Cards that the children had fought so long collecting, including Hitori's, flew from their pockets and surrounded the Dark Lord. Glowing white as well, they spun around the bound Abbadon until a similar black hole that was used to seal his Black Sun monsters began opened beneath him.

"I will come back and get my revenge!" He promised.

"Not this time." Eriol raised his staff and slowly it glowed a deadly red. Abbadon was surrounded by the same red field and was sucked down into his own hellish creation. "Be gone demon!" Eriol blasted the hole as soon as Abbadon was securely through and rocks flew everywhere as the hole disappeared.

Not having their cards anymore, Meeko and Akiko fell from the sky. Shijni flew down and caught Meeko before she hurt herself. And Makoto broke Akiko's fall but it was assumed he meant to catch her as well.

"Are you okay, Makoto-kun!?" Akiko asked worriedly as she slowly got off him.

Moaning, Makoto got to his knees and nodded with a smile. "Yeah, I'll be alright."

Meeko blushed madly in Shinji's arms as he lowered her down to the ground. "So, this is it huh?" He asked sadly.

"Now everything can go back to normal!" Meeko agreed. But when Shinji sighed, she cocked her head curiously. What's bothering him?

Tomoyo returned the next day with two trophies from her performance. Everyone through a party for her success and their success from Abbadon's downfall. She was happy to see all was well, but later complained she wished she had been able to record it.

"I'm sorry I wasn't ready for it mom!" Akiko apologized.

Hugging her daughter lovingly, Tomoyo replied. "That's okay. I'm sure we have enough from before to make an awesome video!"

"Right!" Akiko agreed.

Makoto sighed and took a sip of his soda. "Like mother like daughter."

Sakura giggled and agreed. "You have no idea."

Laying back with his arms behind his head, Syaoran smirked cockily. "Well that's one adventure I would like to never have happen again."

"It's not like you did anything to help!" Kero accused, stuffing muffins into his mouth.

"What!? I'll have you know I played a very important role in this!" The Li Clan leader countered.

"Yes, I'm afraid to say he did." Eriol backed up him.

Eyeing the reincarnation suspiciously, Syaoran said, "Don't think you're off the hook yet. We still have to talk about that whole judgment – forgetting to block the pain thing."

Upon hearing this Ruby Moon giggled. "It's nothing you couldn't handle I'm sure!"

"T-that's not the point!" Syaoran countered.

Sitting lazily on his master's knee, Suppi looked up from his newspaper. "Then why are you complaining?"

Everyone broke out in laughs, except Syaoran of course, who crossed his arms and went to get something more to eat.

Out on the balcony of Eriol's mansion, Touya, Kaho, and Yukito conversed. "Things don't seem to be as exciting as they were before, huh?" The snow bunny commented.

Touya looked out at the once again peaceful town. "No, I guess not. Maybe we should go back to the city."

"Your little sister will be missed, but we can visit for the holidays." Kaho tried to calm his sadness.

Smiling, Touya nodded. "Yeah, you're right."

Meeko, who didn't feel like joining in the festivities, sat outside on the porch. Noticing her absence, Sakura went out to talk to her. "What's the matter dear?"

Looking up, Meeko began to cry. "It's Shinji. Yue said since everything's over, he's going back home!"

Sakura knew how her daughter felt and knew what had to be done. "Aren't you going to tell him how you feel?"

Meeko hiccupped and tried to whip away her tears. "His flight leaves in ten minutes. There's no way I'd make it in time! Why didn't he tell me?"

"Well, that's a question you'll have to ask him yourself." Sakura said, handing her daughter a card.

Meeko took it and frowned. "Hope?"

Nodding, Sakura explained. "Long ago after I finished changing the Clow Cards into Sakura Cards, your father was called back home to finish his duties in the clan. He didn't tell me when he was leaving but I knew I had to be with him."

"What happened?" Meeko asked.

Sakura smiled in memory. "Thinking of him, my pure thoughts formed the Sakura Card love. It was then I knew what I felt for him and ran to see him before he left. That card you hold now is what the love card changed into after sometime." Sakura left out the entire story of the Void Card, because right now, what was more important was her daughter's love.

"How does it work?" The young cardcaptor asked.

Shrugging, Sakura smiled and stood up. "Try it out. Think of the one you love most and keep them close to your heart and who knows what might happen." Then she retreated back indoors.

Looking at the card, Meeko held it close to her heart. "I want to be with Shinji. I want to be with him…" She paused as she smiled. "Because I love him."

The Clow Card symbol light up beneath her and Meeko felt her body get lighter. The wind picked up and when she opened her eyes again, she was at the airport!

"Shinji-kun!" She exclaimed, immediately seeing the white haired youth with his luggage in line.

Turning around in surprise, Shinji barely had time to react before Meeko jumped into his arms. "W-what are you doing here!?"

Fighting back her tears, Meeko hide her face in his chest. "I…I don't want you to go Shinji-kun!" Looking up, Meeko stared truthfully into his eyes. "I love you."

Shinji thought his heart would burst out of his chest at the confession. "Oh Meeko!" Then he wrapped her up in his strong arms and whispered back into her ear. "I love you too. More than anything."

Pulling away, Meeko had to ask. "Then stay. Stay with me here."

Smiling at how cute she looked when she was scared, Shinji nodded. "As you wish." Then he bent down and gave her a kiss on the lips.

Happy tears fell down Meeko's face. Thanks mom. Now Shinji and I will be together forever…

Over behind a pole, Akiko, Tomoyo, Eriol and his guardians, Sakura, Syaoran and Kero all smirked as both Akiko and Tomoyo recorded the precious moments. "Is this how it was like for us?" Syaoran whispered.

Everyone shushed him, but Sakura giggled and replied. "Yes, and I wouldn't have traded it for the world."

THE END
