Chapter 1

Prefic notes: this is my 1st fic and I hope I do well on it I except good and bad criticism.

16-year old Sakura Avalon looked out the window of the small private plane at the Pacific Ocean heading towards Vancouver Island, B.C.. She smiled as she thought of everything that had happened the past few years. Li had returned to Readington after he left for a few years of training at home and she started dating him. Eli also returned and started dating Madison who was by that time already famous for her clothing designs much to the surprise of Sakura. Her father, Aiden, had become a very famous archaeologist and traveled a lot but it didn't bother Sakura. Tori had moved out and married Ruby and they so far have a pretty good relationship. Madison's mother, Samantha, still owned her toy company and was still making a lot of money. As for Meilin she was pretty much the same, except now she didn't go after Li anymore.

Not only had the lifestyles of her and her friends and family changed but their looks had changed as well. Sakura let her hair grow long and beautifully and she usually wore it in a braid, Tori told her that it would probaly look the way her mother's did without the braid. Madison had cut hers short and she had to admit that it looked like Nikki's. Li had let his hair grow past his neck and other then that nothing else had changed about him the same was for everybody else. Sakura brushed some hair out of her face with her hand and looked beside herself at Li who was sleeping quietly, Tori still didn't like him too much but he respected him and was beginning to like him more and more each day. She glanced over at Madison and Eli. Madison had fallen asleep on Eli's shoulder, and Eli was reading a magazine looking quite uncomfortable. Her father had fallen asleep and was sitting beside Madison's mother who was in deep thought. Ruby and Tori were asleep. She smiled when she saw them asleep in each other's arms and finally Julian was sitting beside Meilin in the back looking quite annoyed to be sitting beside her which made Sakura laugh a little.

"Hold on" Sakura thought as she did a quick head count then grabbed her bag and searched vigorously.

"Something wrong Sakura?" Eli asked looking over at her well trying to keep his shoulder as still as possible so he didn't wake Madison.

"I can't find Kero," she replied as she put her bag down and checked under her seat.

"Well we had better find him. You know how much trouble he can cause." A worried look came over Eli's face and he started searching his bag.

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked checking the seats in front of her.

"I can't find Spinner either!" He replied louder then needed,"You know how much trouble those two can cause!"

"Then we should find them," said Madison waking up and rubbing her eyes tiredly,"and you should be quiet about it. Do you want the pilot to become curious?"

"You're right we have to search as quietly as possible" Eli said as he stood up to look around,"And sorry for waking you Madison."

"Don't worry about it, just concentrate on looking for Kero and Spinner," Madison said.

"Let's see.. well there aren't any sweets on board the plane so at least we don't have to worry about them going all hyper on us," Eli said as he looked around the seats in front of him then he turned around to face Madison's mother,"Have you seen Kero or Spinner?" he asked.

"Wha..?" Madison's mother said as she snapped out of deep thought,"Kero and Spinner? No, I haven't seen them since we got on the plane when you and Sakura shoved them into your bags."

"Oh great!" Sakura moaned," We have to find them, if we find danger at all we're going to need them to protect Madison as well as everyone else."

"Don't worry Sakura it's a small plane they couldn't have gone far. I'm sure they are-" a loud thump interrupted Madison in mid sentence. She looked in the direction the sound had come from, a small storage cabinet above her head. Sakura and Eli walked over to it and in one swift motion opened it to find Spinner and Kero sleeping inside. They sighed in relief, then closed the cabinet and sat back down.

"That was close I thought that we lost them," Sakura said.

"Yes, it's a good thing that one of their favourite things is sleeping," Eli said then noticed that Madison had fallen asleep on his shoulder again. He sighed then returned to his magazine.

"Hey Sakura," Li said as he awoke.

"Yes Li?" Sakura Replied

"Do you know what that thumping sound is?" Li asked.

"It's just Kero and Spinner sleeping they probably knocked something over," Sakura said pulling out a magazine for herself.

"No, not that thumping sound. Listen," Li said.

Sakura listened carefully she didn't hear a thing but she kept listening. Then she heard it! Multiple thumps coming from the storage cabinet above her. She jumped out her seat in fear and stared at the cabinet.

"Sakura, what's wrong?" Julian asked.

"S-s-something is making a thumping noise from inside that cabinet," Sakura said shaking from fear and holding on to Li.

"A thumping sound? What could be up there that could make that sound?" Julian asked walking over to Sakura.

Sakura thought then a something struck her and her scared look became ghostly and she stuttered," Th-th-the c-c-cards and the b-b-book are up th-th-there."

"WHAT!" Julian yelled as he tore open the cabinet to see the Sakura Book shaking wildly and glowing, "Eli, you're Clow Reed's reincarnation. What's happening!"

"I'm only a half-reincarnation and to tell you the truth I don't know I've never seen this happen before," Eli said and then put his hand to his chin in thought, "Something must be causing the cards to react this way."

"What could do that?" asked Madison now awake.

"Only powerful magic would cause such a reaction," Li said, "Whatever caused the cards to react has to be close but we are out in the middle of the ocean and none of us has made the book react in such a way. Even me, a direct descendent of Clow Reed himself, has never made the book do this."

"What about the pilot?" Meilin said looking at the still shaking book.

"No way!"Li said still puzzled by the books reaction,"Sakura and I would have sensed his magic if he had any and if we didn't, Kero, Spinner, Eli, Ruby, Julian can all sense magic. They would have sensed it and Tori would definitely sense it. His powers to sense magic are stronger than all of the others put together."

"Then what's causing it?" Madison asked.

"It's a pretty slim chance but it might be the-" Eli was interrupted by a violent crash against the side of the plane. Every body fell out of their seats from the sheer force a few seconds later a second crash happened and soon the plane was being beaten heavily by huge crashes.

"What's happening!?" Tori yelled as he got up then he groaned heavily and clutched his arm.

"Tori are you alright!?" Ruby asked as she rushed over to Tori.

"I'm fine. I just hurt my arm when I fell over," Tori said still clutching his arm, "Now someone tell me what's going on here before someone-" he froze in mid sentence and stared out the window Sakura, Li, Eli, Julian and Ruby looked as well.

"No way!"Li yelled as he stared out in shock, "it's a..a.."

"A Clow Card!?" Sakura exclaimed, staring out at a large ball of light floating beside the plane.

"No I was afraid of this," Eli said in fear, "it's.. it's.. it's the Crash Card!"

"The what!?" was everybody's reaction.

"The Crash, a powerful card that even Clow Reed feared," Eli said staring at the Crash spirit,"In fact he feared it so much that he locked it as well as 2 other cards inside a magic chest and threw it into the ocean"

"Are you saying that Clow Reed had 3 other cards that he never told me about!?" Kero said in shock.

"Can you blame him? They were extremely powerful and extremely deadly. We are experiencing aggression of just one of the 3 cards right now!" Eli said as he pulled out his staff, "Sakura, Li we are going to need to stop The Crash spirit now before it destroys the plane!"

"Right!"Li and Sakura said in unison. Li drew his sword and Sakura summoned her staff but before any of the three could do anything an explosion was heard they turned to see a second glowing ball of light floating beside The Crash.

"Uh-oh! Looks like the second of the three cards has decided to join the fun!" Kero said as he started to transform,"Eli what one is this?"

"It's The Explosion card!" Eli exclaimed, "let's just hope the third card doesn't appear or we will be in big trouble!"

"I'm afraid to ask but, what's the third card?" Meilin asked.

"The third card is the deadliest card of all," Eli said,"Sakura call out the fly spirit we'll need to fight outside the plane, Kero, you don't mind Li riding on your back do you?"

"Not at all," said Kero now fully transformed, "but I don't think we need to fight look outside."

Everybody looked in the direction of the cards and gasped, The Crash and The Explosion were fighting each other and not showing any mercy!

"Why are they fighting each other Eli?" Madison's mother asked.

"I've no idea but we should be thankful that they aren't attacking us," Eli said.

"Hey why didn't the pilot come out to check what was going on in here?"Madison asked,"I mean we were yelling quite loudly,"

Sakura and Meilin realizing that Madison was right and dove for the door and opened it they almost fainted when they saw pilot was unconscious and the plane was heading down towards the ocean!
