Chapter 24- Happy Endings? Pt 2.

Sakura yawned and stretched as she woke up. She looked down at her new Star Key Charm, and smiled. She looked up as Kero flew into her room. He landed on the foot of her bed, and started to eat the piece of cake he stole from the fridge.

"You seem happy today." He said, looking up as the Mistress of the Cards.

"I am. Today is the day I graduate." Sakura said, "Why shouldn't I be happy? Jake is gone, the Cards are safe, and I'm about to put high school behind me and get on with my life."

"Well those are all good reasons," Kero said, "but what about you and Li. Will he and VG be going back to Hong Kong after graduation?"

"I don't know." Sakura said, "But since school is over I can go with Li if he does go back."

"Will you father allow that?"

"I hope so." Sakura said, "I don't know if I can handle losing Li again." Suddenly both Sakura and Kero stiffened.

"Did you sense that?"

"Yeah." Sakura softly spoke, "Its Jake. And she's stronger."

Li and VG

"Li!" Vg shouted, as he ran into the kitchen

"Yes, Jake has returned. Stronger."

"This is what we didn't want to happen." VG said, "Looks like we'll have to use the spell."

"Yeah. I hope everything will turn out okay. You think you can handle you part?"

"You can count on me. But we'll need Sakura's help."

May and Sam

"I'll wear this one tonight!" May said, happily. She was in a light purple fancy gown, and had her hair up in a high pony tail.

"I sense something!" Sam suddenly said, causing May to fall of her the stool she was standing on.

"Ow..."

Jake (The good one)

"Zzzzzzz"

Sakura

She was sitting with the rest of her class on stage. She was waiting for her name to be called so she could get her diploma, all the while hoping Jake wouldn't strike. Not with all these people around. She didn't want anyone to get hurt.

Soon enough the last name was called, and she sighed with releif. But that releif was soon destroyed when a loud boom was heard outside. Everyone in the room ran out to their cars when the ground started to shake. Everyone minus Sakura, Li, VG, Sam, and May. They ran into the seats and meet up. Not a second later a swirling tower of black smoke appeared on the stage. The smoke cleared and a new an improved Jake stood in its place. She was dressed in all black and red, and had a long black staff with a red gem on the end of it. She pointed her staff at our heroes and a red beam shot from it. They all managed to dodge the deadly beam.

"Sakura we need you keep her distracted long enough to use a spell." Li said, "We need as much time as you can get us. This is a very dangerous spell and it is very sensitive."

"I'll try. But hurry." Sakura said, and summoned the four Element Cards. She used the Wood and Sheild to make her armor and the Sword to make her staff a sword. She and the Elements charges Jake.

"Not this again." Jake mused, and blasted at them. They all dodged, and attacked Jake. Firey, Watery, Windy, then Earthy. Finally the four of them went into Sakura's sword and she slashed Jake, who screamed in pain. Jake's gash quickly healed up and she turned and faced Sakura. She held her hand and the red and blakc energy trapped the Card Mistress. Jake pointed her staff at Sakura and shot the beam. Sakura closed her eyes, and waited for the end. She opened her eyes when she felt no pain. She saw VG standing there with his sword out, holding back the energy blast.

"VG!" Both Sakura and Jake shouted. Sakura happily, while Jake angrily. VG slashed and the energy from Jake's staff dissapated. He smirked at the look of pure anger on her face. He jumped at Jake, who jumped away. VG then quickly turned and cut the energy that held Sakura in place.

"I need to get back to Li." VG said, "I won't be able to help you again."

"I understand." Sakura said, and readied her sword and Sheild, and the Elements appeared behind her. VG nodded and ran off, back to Li and the the spell. Sam came up, and held her Spirit Staff out. And Jesse broke through the celling and landed on the other side of Sakura.

"I swear, you can't do anything without me." Jesse said, "Lets get this over with."

"Good idea." Sakura said, and the three of them and the elements jumped at Jake, who aimed her staff and collected energy. When they were at point blank range she fired, and an exlposion occured. May and Li gasped, but Li and VG kept up their spell, since Jake was heard laughing.

"Whats so funny?" asked a voice that sounded an awful lot like Sakura's.

"What?" Jake shouted, "How can you still be alive!"

"You should ask our Neko Jin friend." Jesse said, and Jake looked at the near exausted Neko-Jin. Jake smirked.

"He can't keep that up for much longer." Her smile faded when VG smirked.

"Not everything is as it seems." VG said, when a green light flashed behind him. The light went into his body. He flashed a bright blue color, and his shapped changed. When the light cleared Jake, as well as Sakura, Sam, May, and Jesse, gasped at VG's new appearance. His hair was white, and had black stripes through it. His eyes were gold and slitted, and his finger nails grew into claws. He also had a white tail with black stripes in it, and his sword now resembled a tiger's claw.

"H-how can this be?" Jake asked, dumbfounded, "You're power, its unnatural!"

"No, its very natural." VG said, "This is the power of a fully powered Neko-Jin warrior. The spell we cast gave me Li's power, and now together we will seal you away for ever."

He jumped down at Jake, and slashed. Jake jumped back, but was caught up in the energy that the slash generated and a large gash apepared across her stomach. She looked up and saw a slash in the air, that was opening. It grew into a circular shape and three tenticles of what looked like thunder came out and wrapped around Jake. They pulled her into the endless void, then the whole in time and space closed itself. Forever trapping Jake in the gap between dimensions. VG knelt down, and flashed blue. Then the blue light separated into one green and one lighter blue light. Those two lights formed into the normal VG and Li. Both of who fell unconcious.

Later

Li and VG woke up at the same time. They looked around. Then at eachother, and then at themselves. They smiled happily.

"Looks like it went off without a hutch." VG said

"Yeah." Li said, "Did we win?"

"I think so. I don't remember much though."

"You two are finally awake." Sakura said as she came in, "You were asleep for about a week."

"No wonder I'm so hungry." VG said, holding his stomach.
"Did we beat Jake?" Li asked.

"Yeah, she got sucked into that portal. Its over." Sakura said, "Sam and May gave their wishes, but they had to be at school."

"Okay." VG said, and noticed Sakura and Li looking at eachother. "I'll be... elsewhere." He said, and left the room.

"Sakura..."

"Yes, Li?"
"I was wondering..." Li pulled something out of his pocket, "If you would..."
"Yes?"

"If you would open these pickles for me." They laughed when they heard three thuds from out the room, which showed they had an audience. Li handed Sakura a small pink box. Sakura gasped when she opened it. Inside was a ring. And on the ring was an inscription.

Li and Sakura

Forever

End Story. Hope you liked it. R&R.
