The vision
After patrolling the city Ironman went back to Stark Tokyo Tower to rest "Man what a day" Tony grumble as he flopped down on the couch. He looked back at his armoury where he kept the mark 3 and the armour card. "You and I are going to take down the mandarin" he said to the last remaining Clow card in his armoury "But how to I merge magic and tech together?" Tony said as he closed his eyes.
After Tony drifted to sleep he started to dream, he was looking at Tomoeda Tower, the site of the final judgement only this time. The mandarin was there fighting the magical beings. "Sakura book flee!" Sakura yelled as a pink book started to glow with a pink light and then it zoomed away towards Iron man who caught and said a few words to it releasing the cards encasing him in a sphere made by the Sakura Cards before beams of light hit in causing the armour to glow blue.
Tony woke up "A vision?" he asked "JARVIS time?" "It is currently 9:07 at night" JARVIS said as the digital clock readout appeared on the window in front of him "Sir, are you okay?" JARVIS asked "Yeah call Sakura for me, please" Tony requested walking to the armoury.
At the Kinomoto residence Tomoyo was on the lounge sleep when the phone rang "Hello Sakura Kinomoto speaking" she said "Hello Sakura I need to talk with Kero for a second" Iron man requested "Yeah sure" Sakura said taking the phone to Kero, "Kero Iron man wants to talk to you" Sakura said placing the phone near him "Hey Iron Man what's up?" Kero asked "I think I have found a way to merge the cards with my armour" Iron man said "I'm listening" Kero said "I had vision about an upcoming fight, anyway the Sakura cards came to me and gave me their powers through a special way any guesses how?" Iron man asked "Maybe we have to ask the cards permission to use their power" Kero said "Wait I think; I did that before" Iron man said.

Iron man had just walked into the area where the Clow book was kept while wearing his mark 1, he picked up the armour card before hearing a roar. "Who's there?" Iron man asked charging his flamethrowers "I know something's there" 'Iron man place you right hand on the book' a voice whispered "Okay" Iron man said as he placed his hand on the book 'now repeat what I say' the whisper said to him telling him what to say. "Alright then: I Iron man invoke the ancient truce, Between Magic and Technology, Contract initiate" Iron man said as he armour glowed white. After the light faded Iron man stood there in a slightly improved suit with a sun on his left arm and a crescent moon on his right arm. "Come on out then you overgrown pest!" Iron man said as a monstrous snake appeared "SWORD CARD" Iron man yelled as a sword appeared and he used it to cleave the snake in half. "That was easy" Iron man said before the whisper came back and said 'contract terminated' returning Iron man to his normal mark 1 armour.
"So a whisper told you about this ability, meet me in the park" Kero said. "Be there in five" Iron man said. Kero hung up and went to the what he affectionately called the Sakura Drawer and took the book out "man I hope Sakura won't get angry but if what Iron man saw came true then Iron man is the backup guardian" Kero said. After ten minutes Kero made it to Penguin Park and saw Iron man on top of King Penguin. "So you're here now and with the book as well now shall we?" Iron man asked as Kero pulled the book out and it floated in front of Iron man. "Okay here we go: Ancient star hear my plight Help me now, combine technology with your light Star book contact now!" Iron man said as Sakura's magic circle appeared under Iron Man creating a whirlwind around him "Iron man, I Keroberos guardian beast of the seal here by name you a Sakura card Knight, charged with the protection of the Sakura cards in the event of the Card mistress' demise or stated otherwise" Kero said in a serious tone of voice "I accept the role" Iron man said.
Meanwhile at the Mandarin's hideout, "I will finally achieved my ultimate goal, with my rings of power and these power enhancing gloves I will finally take over the world and hold the Clow cards in hand and use my sinister power to change them into the mandarin cards!" Mandarin said before chuckling evilly.
Kero flew back into Sakura's room and put the book back in its drawer and downstairs. "Hey any pudding left?" he asked "sure stuffed toy" Meiling said "Ah little girl, I missed you" Kero joked "So what happened with Tomoyo?" Kero asked "she just was covered in translucent light then she directed it at the Mandarin" Sakura said as she placed a damp cloth on Tomoyo's head "I think that being around Eriol, Syaoran and you has given Tomoyo limited magical power that can only manifest themselves in time of great danger" Kero said "So can we do that?" Chiharu asked "Well you might however waking them up is extremely dangerous, put simply if you activate your magic you could die" Kero said sternly "then why is Tomoyo just out cold?" Naoko asked "I don't know" Kero said. "Next question how was your day?" Kero asked "Well besides the attack rather well" Syaoran said 'great now the Mandarin can turn my attacks right back at me' Sakura thought. Just then Tomoyo woke up "hey guys how long have I been out?" she asked "couple of hours" Eriol said hugging her, "So do you what happened?" Tomoyo asked "You and the others may have developed powers; so far we've seen Tomoyo's light blast who know what the other's will be" Kero said.
At the Mandarin's hideout he was placing his last ring on the gauntlet "Now I shall have the ultimate power soon" Mandarin said placing his hands into the golden clawed gloves "Now to test fire my new weapon" Mandarin said as he charged his weapon and fired his left index finger ring releasing a jet of white flames, and then laughed as he saw the target he was aiming at was melted. "Perfect"
Iron man had an ominous feeling about the next week "JARVIS, do we know where the Mandarin is?" Iron man asked "No sir I haven't the foggiest clue" JARVIS said "hopefully soon his plans will be revealed" Iron man said staring over the city.
