Sakura was shocked to hear Kero's answer. She saw the fear in his eyes black eyes.
"Kero," She said. "I want to enter that door even if the person on the other side is death."
Kero reasoned out, "You'll just die if you do. That door is what the guardians like Yue and me call the Death Door. The only thing we know about it is that it is a Death Door and it means death."
Sakura smiled. "I won't die. Who knows what's on the other side? I took this challenge so that I can be together with Syaoran. I have to go in."
Kero sighed and said, "If you insist." He opened the door and there was a binding light inside.
"Are you sure you want to enter? This is a Death Door. I don't want to discourage you but I don't know what's in this door." Yue said fearfully. 'If he dies, Sakura will never smile again.' He thought more fearfully.
Syaoran answered, "Yeah. I'm pretty sure I want to this. I'm doing this for Sakura and me so that we could be together forever."
The other side of the door was just a binding light when they entered. But now, it looked like a wasteland. The maze was gone. Instead, there were high mountains, steep hills, and active volcanoes around. There was no sign of life anywhere.
"I think this is another dimension." Syaoran said as he scanned the area.
"I think so too." Yue said. Yue jumped up as he got a wider look at the land. 'It's a wasteland. Clow Reed, why didn't you tell us about this?'
He got down and said, "It's a wasteland."
Suddenly, the land started to shake and cracks appeared. Yue grabbed hold of Syaoran and flew up in the air.
"That was a close one." Yue sighed and flew to a place where it looks safe.
Tomoyo and Spinel entered the Death Door. Tomoyo was scared to know what was going to happen next.
Spinel told her, "Relax."
Tomoyo finally relaxed and looked around. It was a large, endless desert. The sun was scorching hot so she removed her costume. There was a purple sleeveless shirt and khaki shorts underneath her costume. Tomoyo folded her costume and carried it along.
"Why don't you just leave it there?" Spinel asked questionably.
"It's for the memories I had in this trip. I never thought that someday, I'll be just like Sakura, Li, and Eriol – card captors."
Spinel sweat-dropped and turned into his true form – a wolf-like animal with fairy wings.
"Tomoyo," He said. "Climb aboard."
Tomoyo hesitated at first but she rode in him as well.
Sakura and Kero flew over the wasteland to search for Syaoran and Yue, in case that they are in the same place. Sakura used the Fly card while Kero flied like he always does.
"Sakura," Kero said. "I feel that they are here."
Sakura nodded and looked for them. Suddenly, a large rock monster attacked them. It was a large boulder with long, slender rocks as its arms and legs.
"Big card." Sakura said.
She got bigger and tried to wrestle the monster. But the monster was so strong it knocked Sakura.
"That hurts." Sakura said angrily. "This time, I'll get even."
She shouted, "Fight card."
Sakura battled with the monster with Fight card's abilities. She tried to do lift the monster but the monster was heavier.
"Power card."
Now, she got the strength to lift the boulder. She lifted it and threw it far away. She got back to her normal size and the three cards went back to her pocket. And then she fainted.
Eriol and Ruby Moon, like Sakura and Kero, flew over the desert. Eriol was using his Float card to fly.
"They're here somewhere." Eriol told Ruby Moon, "We'll split up and look for them. You go that way," pointing to the left. "And I'll go this way.", pointing to the opposite direction.
Eriol looked and looked for the love of his life. But she was no where in sight.
"Move card." He said.
He moved from place to place above the ground and still no sign of Tomoyo. He was beginning to lose hope when…
A sand monster attacked Tomoyo and Spinel. Tomoyo still doesn't have the Sand card so she doesn't know what to do. She wasn't there when Syaoran caught the Sand card.
"Spinel," She called. "What do I exactly do?"
Spinel yelled, "I don't know. Just yell for help."
Both of them yelled for help. Until Tomoyo heard someone say, "Freeze card."
'Could it be Eriol?' She thought. Then she smiled because it was Eriol. Eriol froze the sand monster and got Tomoyo in his arms.
Eriol said, "You're safe now." Spinel turned into a small cat again and flew near Eriol and Tomoyo.
Syaoran and Yue felt the presence of Sakura and Kero. They searched and searched. Syaoran used the Fiery card to send signals. But they still didn't find them. Because of this, Syaoran was beginning to lose almost all hope to see his cherry blossom.
Seeing that Syaoran was beginning to lose hope, he said, "She's a brave girl. Don't lose hope just yet."
Syaoran nodded and kept sending the signals. Then he saw a large rock monster and a large woman fighting it. Syaoran signaled Yue to go to that direction.
As they got nearer, something was in their way. It is a large dragon with long sharp teeth. Syaoran got the cards he needed for the battle.
He said, "Big Card." He instantly got bigger, as big as the dragon.
He said, "Sword Card." Instantly, his sword began to look like the Sword card.
He instantly slashed the beast away. The beast disappeared instantly. Syaoran felt dizzy and all his power was drained from him. He fainted and the last thing he saw was Yue trying to reach him.
Tomoyo and Eriol began to tell each other stories of their battles like there was no tomorrow. Ruby Moon and Spinel watched the two tell each other what happened.
"Didn't we agree with the cards that there will be no Death Doors?" Spinel asked.
"Yes." Ruby Moon nodded. "I wonder how did those Death Doors appear. Eriol already caught the Illusion, Dream, and Create card so it could not be possibly those cards. How about Tomoyo? Did she get those cards?"
Spinel nodded. "Yes. So that means those doors we entered are real Death Doors. How are we going to get out of here? We haven't captured all of the cards…"
"Niether did we." Ruby Moon said.
Eriol whispered something in Tomoyo's ear. Both card captors took out their Create cards and wrote in it. Then, an oasis showed up.
Tomoyo called out, "Spinel, Ruby Moon, we'll set up camp there in the oasis."
Eriol and Tomoyo got there first. Spinel and Ruby Moon made tents with the use of their magic, four blue medium-sized tents for each one of them to sleep into for the night. Tomoyo and Eriol went fishing.
"I guess the Create card can do anything, alright." Spinel sweat-dropped as he saw his master and Tomoyo play in the water.
Sakura and Syaoran woke up at the same time side by side. Yue and Kero were watching over them. Yue made a small crystal fortress with his powers.
"Hi." Syaoran said to Sakura.
"Hi, Syaoran." Sakura was delighted to see Syaoran once again but one thing puzzles her.
"How did we get together?" Sakura asked Kero.
Kero related the story to both of them. "When Sakura defeated that monster and returned to her original size, she fainted. I caught her of course. I felt Yue was near so I continued to look for him. I did. I saw Yue carrying Syaoran because, he too, has fainted."
Yue gave water to both of them. "You must have used your powers too much. Here, drink this."
Syaoran and Sakura didn't take a sip. They looked at the guardians very suspiciously.
Syaoran, always suspicious, asked, "Where did you get the water? This is a wasteland and you are not allowed to help us, only to protect us. Remember?"
Sakura stood up, "Where are my friends?"
The 'fake' Kero and Yue fused and became one. It turned into a man with a cloak over him.
"Hahahahahaha. So you found out at once." He said, "You'll never get out of this dimension." Then, he disappeared.
"It seems like he kidnapped Keroberos and Yue. They're gone too." Syaoran said.
Sakura fiddled in her pocket. "Oh no! He took my cards."
Syaoran searched his pockets. His cards were taken too. This is a tragedy for both of them.
That night, Syaoran and Sakura stayed in the fortress the 'fake' Yue made. They tried to stay warm but it was really cold inside the fortress and it's too hot outside the fortress.
"We can't stay here forever, Syaoran." Sakura said. "Do you remember that board you used to look for Clow Cards?"
Syaoran nodded. "Yeah. I have it with me right now." He took out a small version of the board.
"That's good." Sakura said. "Now, we'll find Sakura cards the way we found the Clow Cards. Could that be possible?"
Syaoran nodded. He said a long chant and then, a light appeared pointing to a large mountain nearby.
"There's a card over there. You want to get it now?" He asked.
Sakura nodded. Hand in hand, they both left the fortress. The fortress disappeared when they got out.
Tomoyo and Eriol had a nice fish dinner, like they wrote in the Create card. Eriol caught a very large fish, which he and Tomoyo shared. Ruby Moon and Spinel rested for the rest of the day.
That night, Tomoyo and Eriol went stargazing (like they wrote in the Create card). Tomoyo patched up Eriol's costume that night.
"There." She said. "All fixed."
"You always bring a sewing kit wherever you go?" Eriol asked teasingly.
Both of them laughed. When their laughter died down, they looked at each other romantically.
"Well, I guess this is not the end yet." Tomoyo said.
Eriol didn't answer. He just held Tomoyo's hand tighter. Tomoyo felt all of her hopes are back.
"Don't worry." She said. "We'll make it through together." Still, no reply came from Eriol.
Tomoyo doesn't expect an answer from him. She knew that he was thinking deeply. She took out her cards and laid them out.
"Okay, I already caught Bubbles, Big, Little, Create, Through, Sweet, Move, Silent, Mist, Change, Windy, Fly, Dash, Jump, Float, Sand, Thunder, Mirror, Twin, Rain, Snow, Fiery, Sword, Power, Fight, Watery, Wave, Shield, Earthy, Wood, Arrow, Flower, Shot, Storm, Glow, Sleep, Mirror, Song, Voice, and the Cloud card." Tomoyo said as she laid down her cards. "That's forty cards. Still twelve more to go."
Eriol answered, "Thirteen. Thirteen cards to go."
Tomoyo gathered all her cards and placed it in her pocket. Then she looked at Eriol questionably, "What do you mean that I still lack thirteen cards? That'll make 53 cards all in all. Do you also have a Void card?"
Eriol answered, "I don't have a Void card. I was pertaining to the Death card."
Tomoyo leaned closer at him. "Eriol, I think I know that the Death card is here, am I right?"
Eriol nodded. "It's a card I fear the most. It's the card I made just to match Clow Reed's deck. Although I will make a Void card before I die…"
Eriol suddenly stopped when Tomoyo kissed him. "Please stop talking about death too much. We'll get through with this. I know we will."
Eriol smiled. "I'm sorry I got you into this…" Tomoyo kissed him again.
"No need to be sorry. I chose this path so that I'll be with you forever."
He hugged Tomoyo tight under the stars that night. And then something bad happened…
