Chapter 10: More Problems Arise

Gohan woke up to see Minako staring to the sky as bright lights shaped like cards shuffle through the roof from what appears to be a small book, futtering away like bats disturbed from their cave.

"Minako!", yelled Gohan as he fought to go over and forcefully close the book.

"What have you done?" A squeeky little voice at them.

Minako and Gohan looked up to see a small yellow stuffed bear with wings hovering above them.

It began to spoke in a booming voice, "I AM KEROBEROS! PROTECTOR OF THE--" Minako grabbed him and looked at him closely.

"Hey, Hey!" The little toy fought to no avail as Minako stretched, smelled and plucked away like a kitten investigating a chew toy.

"There doesn't seem to be any batteries" Minako flipped him over "or zippers, this must be one hi-tech world we got ourselves in"

"No It's Not!" Another squeeky but this time metalic voice spoke. Minako and Gohan looked to their left and saw the little talking Kettle that Abdula used. "You're In the world of the clow and you've just unleashed the clow cards!"

"That's what those fluttery things were?" Gohan asked.

"So what if i let them go?" Minako didn't care "more trading cards for everyone!"

"No! you big fat buffoon!" Keroberos protested. "The cards have intense power! Setting them free was the worst thing you could ever do! They will wreak havoc and chaos to the world in which they are unleashed upon!"

"You think i'm fat?" Minako looked at her waist.

Keroberos then created a tall pink stick that looked like a bird and whacked Minako in the head with it.

"hey!" Minako patted her head "what was that for?"

"Since you opened the book, you are the chosen one! Here," Keroberos gave her the stick "use this to trap the cards!"

"Hey we got another universe to save here!" Minako protested "I have no time to collect cards! I barely have enough time to watch Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Keroberos grabbed the sticka gain and gave Minako another good whack to the head.

"So we have to go on and find those cards?" Gohan asked. "Lucky you I'm good at finding things!...Are there only 7?"

"No!" The Kettle spoke again "there are numerous cards on the loose and because of the malfunction casued by Sailor V's beam, the cards are lose upon many universes"

"I don't get it, if they'd be lose in worlds where they don't belong, shouldn't they vanish?" Minako asked.

"Normally they would, but the malfunction in my systems have caused a permanent imbalance on the universe which would then force the worlds to collide if not dealt with soon!"

"Wow", Minako responded "...smart computer you are!"

"So how do we know which Universe the cards are at?" Gohan asked

"I can pinpoint to any universe but i do not know where the cards have escaped to" The Kettle responded.

"I can!" Keroberos said "and so can she!" pointing to Minako

"Me?"

"Yes you! you opened the book, You are the chosen one!"

"Can I please not be chosen again! Just for one day I wanna know what it's like not to be chosen!"

Gohan opened the book.."Hey, there are still some cards left in here"

"Good, we'll be able to use those to trap the others" Keroberos said "now close it again!"

"Minako!", The Kettle yelled "quick hold my handle and think of what you just saw!"

"Okay..." Minako picked him up "gosh, you're heavier than i thought...whose fat now huh?"

Numerous Binary digits then ran across the kettle's shades/eyes and before long, his snout shot out a beam of light that became a portal.

"So much for a summer vacation" Minako said as she picked up the pink staff "What about Haruka, Where is she? and Abdula?"

"They are safe, In another world, they're not going anywhere!" The Kettle said "Now get in!"

"Alright you two heard Mrs. Pots!" Minako said "Get in!"

"Me?" Keroberos protested.

"You're the protector right?"

"Fine"

Gohan and Keroberos jumped in the swirling vortex followed quickly by Minako...and they were gone
