Chapter 3: Card captor of the Sun

"One must know the enemy in order to defeat him"- Possess

Possess, Chain, Magnet, and Sound. Those were the names of the four that watched the card captors from the shadows of Tomoeda.

Possess was a white-skinned jester in black and gold. It had the power to control the body, but not the mind.

Chain was a pair of white wings, tied together by a silver chain. It could bind the enemy with anything, from a chain of fire to an iron cage.

Magnet, a magnetic wand with wings, had the power to generate virtually unbreakable magnetic fields.

And Sound, the hardest to capture of the four, could emit high-pitched shrieks and imitate any sound or voice.

Alone, any of the four cards would have been an easy target, but together, they made an invincible team. Or so they hoped.

Possess, Chain, Magnet, and Sound were Golden Clow cards, part of a set of special cards created by Clow just before his death. No one, not even Clow's reincarnation, knew about them, and that made the Golden Clow cards all the more dangerous.

"The card captors have captured all of the Clow cards. They are no minor threat." Sound pursed its lips, deep in thought. Although Sound was nothing more than a set of bright red lips, it was one of the only Clow cards that could both speak and think.

"We must test these card captors, to see if they are worthy of keeping the cards created by Clow." Sound said aloud. "If they fail, then we shall destroy them."

"First, we must get close to them by using one of them as a cover. Either one of them, or one of their closest friends." Possess agreed. "It will be a crucial mission. We will have to use someone who can really fight."

Chain and Magnet buzzed in approval. Yes, they would torment the card captors and awaken their very worst nightmare. A nightmare than no human has ever experienced. . .

Monday Evening

Something was wrong. Syaoran could sense the danger long before it actually came. All 53 Clow cards had been captured, from Windy to Nothing. All of them had been sealed, and Syaoran didn't need Tomoyo's videos to prove it.

Yet, there was still the unmistakable aura of a Clow card in the air. If not one, then several. That morning, when Syaoran had activated his lasin board, it had shone as bright as the sun. That was why he was so sure that something strange was going on.

Sakura, Tomoyo, and Meilin had all denied feeling anything. After asking them several times, Syaoran tried getting a hint or two from a certain smiley friend (or enemy, depending on how you see it) of his, but the only thing that Syaoran had gotten from Eriol was a smile. As usual.

Syaoran heaved a heavy sigh as the day's embarrassing events replayed through his head.

Flashback:

Monday Morning

"Sakura! It's Monday, for heaven's sake! Why are you so energetic!" Meilin groaned.

"The start of a new week is always a reason to smile." Sakura replied.

"Gosh, Sakura! You're acting more and more like Eriol every day!" Meilin added.

"Is that a compliment or a complaint?" Tomoyo asked. Meilin rolled her eyes.

"Syaoran," Tomoyo turned her attention to the sun card captor. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah," Syaoran said half-heartedly.

"Tomoyo," he said suddenly. "Don't you feel the presence of another Clow card?"

Tomoyo was taken aback at this.

"No, I don't-the cards-they've all been sealed already! So-why are you asking this?" she asked nervously.

"Yeah!" Meilin agreed. "Why?"

Syaoran was about to reply when the classroom door suddenly opened. When Syaoran saw who had opened the door, every single muscle in his body tensed. It was the one and only Eriol Hiiragizawa, his ancestor and enemy.

"Good morning, Eriol-kun!" Tomoyo and Meilin said in unison, both noting that

Syaoran's face was a few shades redder than normal.

"He's blushing!" Meilin whispered.

" I know!" Tomoyo squealed.

After exchanging greetings with the girls, Eriol finally turned to face his descendant.

"Good morning, my kawaii descendant." Eriol said with a smile.

Syaoran's face turned red as a tomato, and the two girls had to use the Silent card so

that no one would hear them burst into laughter.

To be continued...

There's going to be a lot of chapters, but most are quite short.
