Chapter 8: Erin's Training
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or Cardcaptors. Phineas and Ferb belong to Disney and will be featured as Erin's friends staying with her through out the adventure starting in this chapter. I do own Erin and her deck.
Pegasus had just met Doofenshmirtz whom looked like a scientist. Pegasus had to admit that this man was ether crazy or stupid or just plain crazy but at least he knew how to be a great host to a visitor. Pegasus was meeting with him for the sole fact that Doofenshmirtz had somehow accidentally wandered into a secret base belonging to the Masked Organization. Now Doofenshmirtz admitted that the Masked men and women actually scared him.
"Why did they scare you?" Pegasus asked him
Doofenshmirtz answered "Because everywhere I walked around...Bamb! There was another one...Some were more scarier than the one previous! Must've been somesort of ranking system. But no mask was scarier than then a certain playpus's mask and to make it worse it was actually Perry the Platypus that was wearing it." the scientist crossed his arms "You know, with my routine battles with Perry the Platypus, I really should've seen that one coming don't know why I didn't."
Pegasus "Hmm, so each member may wear a mask indicating their ranking in their order...Had you ever seen the top two?"
"Top two?" Doofenshmirtz asked "Oh! You mean the second-in-command and their leader!"
Pegasus sweat dropped hiding it behind his head thinking This man certainly isn't the brightest tool in the shed if he didn't know what I meant by top two...
Pegasus then said "Why yes, when I meant by top two I was speaking about the second-in-command and their leader? Did you ever accidentally run into them, if so did you catch their names?"
The scientist looked a bit sad as he confessed "You know, every organization has to have a second-in-command and a leader around but that day, I never ran into them...The highest ranking one seemed to be a female secretary whom didn't give me her name when I asked her. Even when I asked politely So I don't really know the top two of that organization although she did say those two were out searching for their objective, whatever that was."
Pegasus then thought He must've ran into the Masked Organization when it was in it's earlier stages. Even in their early stages they plotted to steal the Sakura Cards, but most likely didn't know where they were. Or who had them.
Pegasus then asked the scientist "Do they still have the base here?"
Doofenshmirtz laughed awkwardly "Well uh, you see, they had a little accident there which I was a part of. Remember when I mentioned Perry? Well as usual he and I had a fight and as I was going to use one of my inators and fire it from inside the building...In that fight, Perry defeated me and my Inator was destroyed and sense it happened to be near propane gas and..."
Pegasus knew where he was going at and spoke literally nearly dying holding in his laughter for once "You literally accidentally destroyed their base..."
"Y-Y-Y-Yeah" Doofenshmirtz said "But too be fair Perry was the one that destroyed my inator and was the most responsible for destroying the base."
Pegasus looks at him "Did you ever figure out if there were other bases around?"
"Oh that part yes!" Doofenshmirtz admitted "Just before my unfortunate accident with Perry the Platypus, the female secretary admitted they had a main base located somewhere and way deep in the famous Suicide Forest of Japan."
Pegasus blinked thinking No one would dare to look inside that area. Little Erin-girl has her hands full trying to locate it. Well at least I know where to look next...However it should be from a safe distance
He then asked his last question to the man he just met "Did this Masked Organization had a name?"
Dr. Doofenshmirtz scratched his head "You know they had! Now hold on for a moment as I recall it..."
He then remembered snapping his fingers "Oh now I remember what they named their organization it was MFWD."
"MFWD?" Pegasus asked.
"That is short for Masks For World Domination" Doofenshmirtz answered.
So they are after the Sakura Cards for World Domination just as Eriol and I thought Pegasus thought getting up and he looked at his watch "Thanks for the information Mr. Doofenshmirtz, it's really helpful, but I have to go."
"May I ask you why you wanted to know about them?" Dr. Doofenshmirtz asked.
Pegasus answered "I have a student named Erin that I'm teaching Duel Monsters too and her mother wields the cards the Masked Organization is looking for. I wanted to know a bit more of this Masked Organization."
"Oh" Doofenshmirtz said "Poor little girl being picked on by this group. Sort of makes me a bit happy that I accidentally wandered into and accidentally destroyed their base...A bit."
Pegasus turned walking out the door "With the information you've given me especially where their main base maybe hidden, it can help her out. Now I really must be going."
"Of course!" Doof said watching Pegasus leave "Happy to help!"
Just as Pegasus left though, Doof's roof collapsed as something kicked downward onto it and down dropped a blue Platypus with a hat on his head. Dr. Doofenshmirtz turned to Platypus annoyed "Aha Perry to Playtpus! What an unexpected surprise...And by unexpected, I mean totally expected! Did you know I had company?"
Pegasus couldn't help but not look back to see Perry whom actually saw him. Perry looked shocked to see Pegasus and glared at Doofenshmirtz as if expecting that Doof did something to Pegasus. Dr. Doofenshmirtz saw the Platypus doing this to him "Hey now, what's with that look for?"
Perry points a Pegasus whom was leaving then glared at Doof.
Doofenshmiritz then got it "Oh! He was my company I just had! Remember that organization I accidentally wandered into and you followed me...And we both managed to have some part in destroying that base?"
Perry nodded silently allowing Doofenshmiritz to resume his answer "Pegasus was just here trying to get some clues on them. You see he has a student named Erin-"
At this Perry seemed to blink remembering his owners Phineas and Ferb had a friend named Erin. Doofenshmirtz then finishes his explanation "I see that name rings a bell in your head...Didn't in mine though. Anyway he wanted to have more information on the Masked Organization, I guess because they are after her mother's cards."
Pegasus then left the area and met Erin, Ferb, Joey, and Phineas at his cottage. Erin saw him approaching waving to him "Mr. Pegasus!"
Pegasus approached them "Well, well, well back I see little Erin-girl."
Erin giggles as she introduces her two friends Phineas and Ferb to Pegasus "Mr. Pegasus, please meet my friends Phineas and his brother Ferb, Ferb, Phineas...Meet my teacher Maximillion Pegasus."
The two boys shook Pegasus's hand right away. Ferb was silent but he showed respects for the man that created Duel monsters causing Pegasus to speak his mind "My Ferb, not much of a talker are you? The strong silent type I see."
Ferb gives him a thumbs up while Phineas spoke "It's an honor to meet you Mr. Pegasus. I'm surprised that you agreed to teach Erin how to Duel and I gotta say your teaching paying off. She beat me and Ferb earlier today in a Tag Duel."
"With my help of course" Joey bragged.
Pegasus turned to Erin "Oh, Erin girl, I saw that Tag Duel as I was finding clues to the Masked Organization here. Good work."
"Thanks Mr. Pegasus sir" Erin said to him.
"Did you find anything?" Phineas asked.
"Oh I managed to find out they call themselves MFWD"
"MFWD?" Joey asked "Like what is that supposed to be short for?"
Pegasus answered "It's short for Masks For World Domination." Pegasus sighed "Just as Eriol and I thought, they are after the Sakura Cards for World Domination."
"Oh" Joey muttered "Why must it always be world Domination? Why can't it be MFWP?"
Phineas laughed at Joey's joke for once "Hmm, Masks For World Peace. That's an organization I could be a part of. But seriously Joey, these guys are like all villains...Villains won't ever settle for world peace. They want to conquer the world."
"Smart boy Phineas" Pegasus admitted "That's exactly what the Masked Organization wants."
He walked forward "Erin, I've found another piece of information but this'll have to be revealed to your parents too. So it'll have to wait."
"Gotcha" Erin replied.
Phineas spoke for Ferb "Pegasus, Erin asked me and my brother to join her in order to help protect the Sakura Cards and we've agreed."
"Excellent" Pegasus told the two boys "Sakura will be glad to have her daughter have two of her friends helping her. Now I suppose I better talk to your parents to get permission for you two to come with me. Once then we'll be heading back to Japan."
Erin nods "I have training to undergo."
Joey blinked "What for?"
"For knowing on how to unleash my mom's cards if I need to" Erin answered.
"That's actually a good idea" Phineas admitted "She needs to know how to use her mom's cards if she's ever in danger."
Ferb agreed with a nod.
Pegasus had managed to reach Phineas and Ferb's mother and father. Amazingly much to Cadence's dismay the two parents allowed Phineas and Ferb to go and stay with Erin for a while in fact agreeing to transfer their sons to Erin's school so the two could have some time together. When this was all done the group would make their way back to Japan during the following morning. When they arrived Syaoran and Sakura were happy to see Erin back again. Erin's parents hugged her joyfully. Erin hugged them back glad to see them. Sakura turned seeing Phineas and Ferb "And I see your friends Erin agreed to join your group?"
"We have Mrs. Syaoran" Phineas said "When Erin told us the Masked Organization are after her and you because of your cards, we couldn't say no to her. I mean what sort of friends would Ferb and I be to her if we said no?"
Ferb agreed "Phineas and I both know Erin wouldn't have asked us if the situation wasn't urgent. We're here to help her."
"Thank you" Sakura told them already liking the two boys, they were very polite. Even Syaoran was impressed on the boys. They seemed honest and really concerned for Erin's safety.
Pegasus had called Eriol to so he could inform them of what he had learned. Erin's family, Eriol with Ruby Moon, Joey, Phineas, Ferb, and Pegasus soon sat down around a table to discuss their next move.
"Man" Syaoran muttered "So this Masked Organization does have a name Masks for World Domination or MFWD for short."
Sakura hung her head "And they have a main base located somewhere in the Suicide Forest."
Joey blinked "Why would they go there? Don't they know it's supposed to be haunted?"
"It makes perfect since" Ferb told Joey "Where else would an enemy put their main base. Some place one wouldn't think to look."
Phineas chuckled a bit "Especially after what happened to their base in the Tri-State Area...Even if it was by accident, I'm sure they don't want that to happen ever again."
"If I were in charge of that organization and I was evil, that would be a good reason to do that" Ferb said agreeing with his brother.
"So" Joey asked Pegasus "We know where their main base is supposed to be! Why don't we pay them a visit and defeat them once and for all?"
"It's true we know the location of their main base" Eriol told Joey "But according to Pegasus's client Doofenshmirtz, it's somewhere located in the Suicide Forest. Meaning it could be anywhere."
"Launching an attack in that area where we don't know where it is could be fatal" Phineas pointed out "Especially when it could be anywhere inside that place. Besides that forest is bad luck from the start. Compasses don't work in it somehow, and not even birds can be heard singing. If we attack now, especially when we don't know where it is located inside the Suicide Forest...We may never get out alive."
Joey sighed "Point taken, but my point remains, what's our next move?"
Pegasus answered "Our next move is to carefully try to figure out where exactly MFWD's main base is in the Sucide Forest. Then once found somehow and safely may I add, then we could launch a final attack to end this."
"It ain't going to be easy" Joey admitted.
"Nothing ever is" Pegasus said then he sighed "But it's our only game plan we have. I might even have to ask a certain Kaiba Boy for a few probes perhaps."
"Good luck trying to get Rich Boy to lend you a few probes" Joey muttered knowing exactly who Pegasus was referring too.
"Oh, I'll think of something" Pegasus said and then he thought I still have to complete Kerroberrous too.
"Whatever you do" Joey told Pegasus "Don't take his soul."
"Even if I wanted to" Pegasus told Joey "I don't have the Millennium Eye anymore."
"Point taken" Joey sighed
"In the meantime, Sakura, and mainly Erin have to remain vigilant MFWD could strike with a new plan at anytime " Eriol spoke "So, Sakura should begin Erin's training immediately."
"Agreed" Syaoran agreed.
"That was the game plan today" Sakura admitted to him.
With this said the meeting was adjured. A few hours later at Erin's house, Ferb, Joey, and Phineas were watching Erin's first lesson. As three of Erin's allies and close friends the three wanted to see the Sakura Cards were like in action. Erin was facing her mother in the backyard of her house. Syaoran was watching his wife and daughter too alongside Erin's three friends. He himself wanted to see his daughter's lessons and to help Sakura in teaching her if she needed his aide.
Sakura now looks at Erin "Erin, as my daughter you have inherited not only my magical powers but your father's too. His powers are easier to understand and he'll teach you in due time. My powers on the other hand are from the Sakura Cards. As you know these cards are very powerful and have abilities granted to them based on what the card name says. Yours from two days ago is what now?"
"The Shield Card mommy!" Erin answered her mom.
"Correct" Sakura told her daughter with a smile "The shield card when used properly should bring out a shield which'll protect you and your friends from any attack or spell-"
"So in other words it's like the Trap Card Negate Attack" Joey kindly interrupted.
"Well" Syaoran told Joey "I've never seen that Trap Card but if the Trap Card's effect is to negate an attack then yes, but it also does protect one from spells too."
"So Negate Attack plus Shield Magic Type-8 without the destruction of the Spell Card part" Phineas translated to Joey.
Sakura held up a four Sakura Cards in her own hand causing Erin to gulp. Sakura smiled "Easy there sweetie. In my hand are four Sakura Cards that I'll be using against you. I got the Windy Card, I got the Shadow Card, the Time Card, and the Arrow Card. In this lesson, I'll teach you how to use the Sakura Card the Shield Card. However basically once I shown you how to activate the Shield Card, it'll basically be a rinse and repeat sort of thing with the other Sakura Cards. Today you'll learn to use the Shield Card. As stated I'll be using my four Sakura Cards against you one at a time. You're job is to use the Shield Card to successfully block all four of my cards. The lesson won't end until you've successfully blocked all four of my cards. If you shall fail to block any of them during this training session we'll go straight back to start to repeat the process till you do."
"Harsh" Joey muttered.
"Not really" Ferb told Joey "It's a good idea for Mrs. Syaoran to do this. How else will Erin successfully bring out the Shield Card."
Sakura smiled holding up the Arrow Card and Syaoran Li smirked getting what she was getting at. Erin blinked "What are you smiling for mommy?"
Sakura answered "Let's just say, with the Arrow Card, you better be prepared to not only protect yourself but you and your group of friends."
Kero mutters out "Oh yeah...The arrow card doesn't just fire one arrow when used...It fires multiple arrows at the target or targets."
Joey hums "Oh this should be cool to see the Arrow Card then in action, right boys? Wait a moment, not just one target..." Joey then freaks out "But multiple targets."
He then had a feeling that it wouldn't be Erin on the blunt end of things had she failed to block the Arrow Card he then raised his hand towards Sakura "You wouldn't fire the Arrow Card at me now would you Sakura-ma'am?"
Syaoran Li answered for her "She has to Joey. The Arrow Card targets not only one target but can target multiple ones. You, are my daughter's friends and allies and could become potential targets to attack as well by MFWD."
Phineas actually smiled "It would be an honor to have Erin protect us with the Shield Card, right Ferb?"
Ferb agreed silently and Joey freaked out shouting at Erin "ERIN! I KNOW YOU AND I ARE FRIENDS BUT FOR GOODNESS SAKE DON'T MESS UP ON THE ARROW CARD! I DON'T WANT TO BECOME A PIN CUSHION!"
Phineas eyes his brother Ferb muttering to him "Geese, if he's worried about becoming a pin cushion that much then there's no telling what he'd do when MFWD probably will do something much worse than what the Arrow Card will do."
All eyes were on Erin and her mother. Erin understood her mother's motives. She wanted to be a good daughter and learn this. She wanted her mother's cards to see her as an equal or someone that would use them like her mother, in other words she wanted them to see her as worthy of being used by her. Sakura saw this smiling "Relax sweetie. The Cards will see you as worthy."
"Okay mommy" Erin said.
Sakura watches her daughter "The first thing you need to do Erin is summon your staff."
"My staff?" Erin asked.
Sakura nods "It's a key that hold your powers in until you bring it out. The words go like this."
Erin watches as a magic circle appeared underneath her mother's feet as she chants out "The key which hides the powers of the Dark! Show your true form before me!, I Sakura command you under our Contract, Release!"
Within seconds of her chant Sakura summoned her staff and expertly holds it. Erin blinked seeing this and blushes as her mother really looked great in that pose. Sakura smiles at Erin "Erin. Remember those words and your staff. Although for that last part it should be in your name."
"Gotcha mommy" Erin admitted.
Erin took a deep breathe "The key which hides the powers of the Dark! Show your true form before me!, I Erin, command you under our Contract, Release!"
Just like her mother there was a small circle under Erin's feet and she too summoned a staff. Erin took her staff watching her mother.
Sakura smiled "That a girl! That's the easy part."
Erin smiled too happily.
Sakura held her staff close "Alright, Erin, this next part requires a bit more. It's using the Sakura Cards."
She holds up a card and throws it in the air spinning it around "The phrase is this, I call upon the forces of my Star Ancient Forces near and far Sakura Card transform all your might and Draw your power from my LIGHT." She smiled "Then you just say the name of the card and slam the staff onto the card to activate it's effect. Got it?"
Erin nods "I think so mommy!"
Sakura smiled "Then Erin, let's begin your lesson, remember once you've blocked all four of my Sakura Cards that I'll use on you with the Arrow Card being used not only yourself but your friends as well you would've completed the training."
"Okay mommy!" Erin told her mom "I can do it!"
Sakura smiled "Good then let's begin."
Erin nods preparing herself. Sakura looks at her Sakura Cards wondering how to start off. She decided to go easy "Alright here we go sweetie."
Erin prepared herself as Sakura chants out "I call upon the forces of my Star Ancient Forces near and far Sakura Card transform all your might and Draw your power from my LIGHT. WINDY!"
Erin watches as her mother slams her staff on the Windy Card. Ferb, Joey, and Phineas watch as a woman like figure emerged from the card surrounded by wind. The Windy card came at Erin very quickly. Erin gulped nervously as the Windy card came at her. Erin raised her staff trying to time it right but the moment she did it was too slow. The Windy Card came at her blowing her over head over toe. Erin screamed a bit as the Windy blows her over with strong winds. It stops at Sakura's command.
"Sweetie?"
"I'm fine mommy" Erin pants out "She came at me too fast."
Erin gets onto her feet unaware that due to Windy's wind her skirt had accidentally stuck up showing her friends minus Phineas and Ferb whom turned away at seeing that her panties that was until she caught onto her friends looking at her. She looked down and blushes and fixed her skirt "Sorry everyone."
"No worries" Phineas said "Ferb and I looked away."
Joey blushes "Sakura ma'am you might want to tone down the Windy Card."
Sakura blushes too "Ready to go again Erin?"
Erin nods "Yeah."
Sakura repeated with but this time choose to use a different one "Shadow!"
Erin blinked watching as a huge shadow emerged over Sakura's head and turned into a huge dark hooded shadowy figure.
"I-I-I-I-Is that a ghost?" Joey asked.
"No" Syaoran "It's not. It's the Shadow Card."
"Why isn't she attacking with Windy?" Joey asked.
Phineas answered "Mrs. Syaoran is mixing things up for Erin. She wants to keep Erin guessing on what card she uses in which order. Just like MFWD will be doing to us when we get into more Duels with them."
"I see" Joey muttered.
Erin watches as the Shadow card comes at her. This time she was ready for it. She watches as it seemed to her like the ghost of Christmas Future in a Christmas Carol as it had no face and was robbed. She gulped nervously watching it, if the Windy Card used wind to attack her enemies or trap them then the Shadow might bind people to the ground. She didn't want to feel that. Just the figure outside the shadow card was fearful to her enough. She raises her staff "No way am I letting that get me! I call upon the forces of my Star Ancient Forces near and far Sakura Card transform all your might and Draw your power from my LIGHT. SHIELD!"
Erin just like she saw her mother as she is speaking her chant spins the card around and slammed her staff onto it. The Shadow then struck coming at Erin like a huge sweeping darkness however just as it looked like it hit her, a visible black shield like barrier appeared protecting her and actually makes the Shadow Card bounce off of it and hit her mom.
Sakura smiled "There you go sweetie!"
"I did it!" Erin shouted jumping up and down "I blocked it!"
"That was just one" Sakura told her daughter holding up her next card "Three more to go."
"That's right" Erin muttered "I didn't block Windy."
"So you might want to try it now" Sakura told her daughter humming "Because I'll try two cards at once."
Syaoran Li smiled at his wife's training as he thought Perfect! She's going to use both Time and Windy all at once. The Time Card does exactly as one would think, freezes time so if Erin fails to block the Time Card then she'll be frozen in time for a while then the Windy will get her again...Then the lesson will have to start all over again. What a great teacher you'll be to our daughter Sakura.
Kero was watching the daughter of his mistress. Wanting to see if she could do this part. The Guardian of the Sakura Cards watches closely.
Sakura held up two cards causing Erin to blink "Two at once mommy?"
"That's right sweetie" Sakura told her daughter "Ready or not here it goes!"
Sakura spun both around shouting the names of the cards "TIME! "WINDY!"
"There's a Time Card?" Joey asked remembering his Time Wizard Duel Monster Card.
Syaoran nodded "You bet there's one."
Joey then shouts at Erin "WATCH OUT ERIN! IF THE TIME CARD WORKS IT'LL AGE YOU UP!"
"I have a feeling it's much worse" Phineas told Joey.
Joey blinked "Hey, I know Time thanks to Time Wizard's ability. It ages monsters up to destroy them."
"Yeah" Ferb told Joey "But there is another way one can control time in theory"
Joey was confused as he then saw a golden like energy wave erupt from one of Sakura's cards going directly at Erin then the Windy Card emerged as well.
Erin gulps seeing Windy come out. She didn't want to flash her friends again so she held out her card "N-N-N-N-No way, I'm not going to get blown over again! Shield!"
Luckily for Erin, she had just slammed her staff down on the shield card just when the Time Card's magic struck her. For a moment Li and both Sakura thought Erin had failed to block the Time Card as time did seem to stop around Erin but then a black barrier appeared protecting Erin and she was moving her head, arms and legs inside the shield just as the Windy Card also hit at what appeared to be now hurricane like speed.
The shield card protected Erin from both Time and the Windy Cards and the time card continued on to cover the entire backyard of Erin's house. Erin may have stopped time and Sakura made sure that the time card didn't effect her. Sadly though it didn't stop it from reaching Ferb, Joey, Phineas and Syaoran Li which immediately it did effect them. Joey saw the time card coming at him "Ah, great...She fai-"
This was all he got when the time card's magic caused time to stop briefly. Sakura smiled as she recalled the two Sakura Cards returning time to normal.
Once freed from the Time Card Phineas turned to Joey "You were saying about Erin failing?"
"I guess she didn't" Joey admitted seeing Erin free "But what happened?"
Syaoran Li answered "The Time Card freezes time completely or reverses it. That's why Sakura unleashed both Time and Windy at the same time. She knew it froze time up so if Erin failed she'd be unable to unleash Shield in time, the Time would stop her in her tracks and the windy card would blow her away.
"If I didn't have shield up" Erin muttered "It almost felt like a tornado or hurricane hitting the shield card..."
"Three down" Sakura said with a smile on her face, she then looked at Erin "One more to go."
It's gonna be the Arrow Card! Mommy saved the best card of the lesson for last Erin thought and she agreed with Joey's advice earlier I don't want to become a pin cushion ether...So I have to get this right.
Sakura turned to her husband "Honey, please stand at my side."
"Of course dear" Syaoran said walking over to her side.
Sakura took the arrow card "Ready or not Erin! Here comes the Arrow Card."
Erin braces herself and wondered how this would work. She watches as her mother rose her staff and shouted "ARROW!"
The arrow card was spun around and the staff hit it. Immediately the staff caused the card to activate and it sent out a spirit high into the clouds. The spirit itself seemed blue but tiny. It wasted no time sighting Erin, Ferb, Joey and Phineas and knew what it's Mistress wanted. It gathered in a huge amount of arrows into it's bow and fired. The arrows erupted like multiple missiles being fired.
"INCOMING!" Joey shouts in alarm seeing that this amount would hit Erin, Ferb, Phineas and himself.
"That is a lot of arrows!" Phineas muttered almost now agreeing with Joey's earlier pin cushion comment.
Erin thought of how she could protect her group. She could protect herself with the Shield Card, with no problem heck if she could block Time and Windy all at once. She turned and races to her friends getting into range of the arrows. She turned as Joey announced "Oh great! We're gonna die together the four of us!"
Erin spoke out her last chant and ends it with "SHIELD!"
Just as there seemed no hope that Erin didn't get to her friends in time to unleash Shield, a big black barrier appeared around the four kids. Thinking Erin failed again Joey braces himself. He then blinked when he didn't feel any pain "What's going on?"
"See for yourself" Phineas told Joey.
Joey looks up to see that Erin had successfully used the Shield Card to block the Arrow Card's multi-arrow attack "You did it Erin!"
"I did" Erin said to him smiling.
Sakura smiled "Good work for today Erin, you now know how to unleash and command the Sakura Cards. I'll give you more as time progresses but since you are the focal point of MFWD, keep the Shield Card on you at all times."
Syaoran Li agreed "Indeed Erin. That'll come in handy."
Erin takes a big breathe satisfied her training paid off. Clapping sounded and the group turned to see Eriol with Ruby Moon.
"Hello Eriol" Sakura told him
Eriol smiled "Hello Sakura...I see you were training Erin, next time you want to train maybe you'd might want to consult me...After all it was thanks to me you converted the Clow Cards into Sakura Cards."
Sakura smiled at him "I'll think on it, but I don't want her to be put in any danger as you did to me many times."
Eriol nodded turning to Erin "Good work today. Now that you know how to unleash the Sakura Cards, MFWD will have to watch their backs."
"Agreed" Phineas admitted "I mean, I doubt they'd want to handle being frozen in time by the Time Card."
"Or blasted by a million arrows" Joey muttered.
Erin smiled happily knowing she had been fully trained to use her mother's cards. She stares at her staff knowing that thanks to it she could unleash the Sakura Cards if she needed to. She eyes her deck "Mr. Eriol could this work for Duel Monsters?"
Kero answered "Good question...I mean if it works on Sakura Cards, in theory it should work on Duel Monster Cards too."
Joey turned to Erin "Why do you ask?"
Erin held out Volcanic Scattershot and Joey answered his own question with "Oh, what a clever little girl you are Erin. The Masked Organization won't like being burned by Duel Monster Cards."
Sakura giggled holding out her Fiery Card turning to Erin "Erin, in addition to the Shield Card, take the Fiery Card as well. It's an offensive weapon type of card that can set any opponent or an object a blaze in minutes. It could help you and your friends out if you are in a jam."
"Thanks Mommy" Erin said accepting the Fiery card.
Phineas turned to Ferb "We'd best start helping Erin out in thinking of ways to protect the Sakura Cards."
Ferb agreed with a thumbs up. Joey turned to them "May Erin and I lend a hand?"
"Sure" Phineas said "Come on guys let's start thinking on how to protect the Sakura Cards."
The four friends walk off with Sakura smiling knowing she taught Erin well.
end of chapter
I say this was a nice filler type of chapter. No Duels, no big action scenes, just a mother and daughter seen training although the first half was mostly the reveal of what Pegasus just learned. Anyway next chapter is Chapter 9: Duel Academy Dueling Alexis Pegasus takes Erin, Ferb, Phineas and Joey to Duel Academy where he has requested two Duel Academy students to Duel Erin. The first of them thanks to Dr. Crowler's suggestion is the Obelisk Blue Alexis Rhodes.
