CARDCAPTOR CHRONICLE: SUNSHINE ADVENTURE
EPISODE TWENTY-SEVEN: COUNTRY OF CLOW
Everyone exited the portal to appear in what seemed to be a wasteland. A short distance from the wasteland laid a beautiful kingdom. However, there was chaos in the kingdom's walls.
"That must be the place," Bert said.
"Yeah, the cries for help and misery fit the description well," Amor replied.
"What are we waiting for?" Li asked. "Let's get going before my counter-part stirs up trouble."
As they proceeded to the castle, the guards who were guarding the gate were knocked out.
"I wonder what happened to these guys," Madison said.
"Probably that Li's doing," Sakura replied.
"We must hurry, before he tries something drastic," Yue said.
"Like what?" Amor asked.
"I don't know. Kidnapping royalty perhaps?"
"Shadow Li has so much tenacity," Bert added.
"What?" Amor asked.
"You know tenacity."
"I'm not a dictionary."
"Tenacity is another word for persistent determination."
"We're not like you," Sakura said. "We're all human."
"She's good," Amor replied.
"Miss Avalon, please refrain from any more sudden outbursts while on duty."
"With all do respect sir," Amor said, "but placing restrictions on job satisfaction isn't good for crew moral."
"You probably got a point there."
Li stood there, stunned. "………let's just get a move on…"
Inside the castle was barren. What seemed to be a market place was now empty. Broken jars were everywhere. And no one was in sight.
"Hello?" Madison yelled. "Anyone home?"
"Looks like they all ran away," Li said.
"Probably scared about what just happened," Yue added.
"And that would be?" Amor asked.
"I don't know. By the look of these walls, there was a fire."
"Yeah, shadow Li learned how to breathe fire."
"It was a hypothesis."
"What?"
"Please tell me you know that word," Bert said.
"Not really. I heard it before, but I forgot it."
"A hypothesis is a proposal intended to explain certain facts or observations."
"In other words, an estimated guess?"
"That what I was aiming for," Yue replied.
"I think I'm beginning to build my vocabulary."
"At a time like this?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah, at a time like this. I'll probably learn more words during the final battle."
"How do you know there'll be a final battle," Madison asked.
"Well, you know. There always is. First, the villain will pronounce his violent plan, and then he'll attack. We'll win." Amor started at Li, "someone will get the girl."
"Repeat that last part," Sakura said.
"I forgot what I said."
"I don't think you want to hear the last part," Bert replied.
"………let's hurry on," Li said.
Finally (after countless and meaningless conversations), they reached the castle. The guards who were guarding the front gate had also fallen unconscious. When they went inside, they found Julian and his majesty on the ground.
"Julian!" Sakura cried.
"Princess?" he asked weakly, "how did you…"
"Another world," Bert said.
"I see. Please, stop him…"
Shadow Li was seen carrying the princess on his shoulder.
"Why is he still causing trouble?" Madison asked.
"He held that brush for so long, he doesn't know what he is doing anymore," Bert said. "We got to knock him out of his senses before he tries something stupid!"
Shadow Li made a break for it. The others followed him to the top of the castle's tallest tower. Shadow Li puts the princess down and spoke:
"Once I eliminate you, I'll become the new ruler of this land!"
"Told you," Amor said to Madison. "Now he'll pronounce his attack."
"It will rain blood today!" Shadow Li quickly gathered the remaining feathers unto himself, giving himself rainbow wings.
"Great, his seraph form," Bert said.
"You gave it a fancy name," Amor replied.
"I had to. He's starting to look kind of like Mithos from Tales of Symphonia."
"I thought you never played any games."
"………"
"I've-a-never seen this before," Mario said.
"I thought you disappeared or something," Madison said.
"Nope. Still-a-here."
"You can help, right?" Li asked.
"Leave this-a-jerk to me! I'll knock him down like-I did Bowser!"
"………"
"No offence-a kid…"
Storm clouds gathered. Shadow Li flew up and drew his razor sharp staff.
"Disappear into nothingness…"
