The showdown
Iron man stood there facing the mandarin "I like the new suit" Mandarin commented, "Nice gloves tell me do they have a shell opening option?" Iron man said "Once, against east faces west in combat, the only difference is that the east will be victorious!" Mandarin roared "JARVIS loaded up Sakura program Fight" Iron man said as the left rectangle on his HUD showed a picture of the Fight card "I'm going to enjoy this" Iron man said throwing a punch.
Mandarin was dashing forward as Iron man threw his punch he blocked it and then try to punch Iron man only to be blocked "Not bad now I do this!" Mandarin snarled raising his leg, Iron man blocked with his leg "My turn" Iron man said performing a powerful combo "you want some ice with that punch?" Iron man said after removing his fist from the Mandarin's side "How about this?" Mandarin said firing his impact beam at close range "JARVIS Sakura Program shield activate!" Iron man said as a layer of energy surrounded his suit. Iron man quickly put some distance between him and the Mandarin "JARVIS just uploading the card as a program isn't working I need to say what they have to do" Iron man said "Of course sir" JARVIS said "I've got JARVIS Activate APG" Iron man "Now shot card use the APG and aim for the mandarin SHOT CARD" Iron man said as multiple beams of light shot out and headed for the mandarin "not good" Mandarin said as the beams collided with him "Bullseye, ready to give up?" Iron man asked "NEVER!" Mandarin bellowed unleashing the effect of his vortex ring "Now go away! He said pushing Iron man off the tower "Fly card spread your wings FLY CARD!" Iron man said as the wings on his back turned into light and propelled him upwards "You're like an annoying insect, warriors ATTACK!" Mandarin now both furious and annoyed ordered his soldiers "this could be bad." Iron man commented.
At the group, Kenji groaned "Anybody got the numberplate of what hit us?" he joked "I believe that your attempt at humour was ill-timed" Eriol said with a headache "Oh boy we got severely thrashed" Kero said "Good thing the fight is not over yet!" Kai said "SAKURA!" Syaoran shouted "SYAORAN, You're okay" Sakura said glomping Syaoran "What happened?" Meiling asked "see for yourself!" Sakura exclaimed point at the amped up Iron man armour "What happened to him?" Suppi asked "he infused the cards' power into his suit through the armour card" Kero said. "Nice to see you awake, but I need help with these terracotta soldiers!" Iron man said struggling "Girls stay here, guardians back to battle" Eriol said.
Iron man and Mandrin was going at it fist to fist, "Try on my white light beam" Mandarin said firing the beam for his left thumb "Through card make me phase THROUGH CARD!" Iron man said as the white beam went through Iron man and collided with one of his soldiers. Iron man decided to hit back "Power card increase my strength POWER" Iron man said as his right fist doubled in size "Now this will be fun" Iron man chuckled as he swung connected his fist with two soldiers and the Mandarin "Now for my electro-beam" Mandarin said as a bolt of lightning lunged at Iron man, hitting him "That was not an electrical attack, This is an electrically attack, Thunder card energize my left repulsor THUNDER" Iron man said as the Thunder appeared and was quickly absorbed by the star and Iron man's left arm "THUNDER REPULSOR FIRE!" Iron man said as a bolt of white lighting surged towards the mandarin.
Sakura had summoned her staff and was using it in battle, Meiling was also battling and Tomoyo was using her light blasts to destroy the soldiers "That's another one!" Tomoyo cheered "I'm on five" Meiling compared "Suffer in defeat girls for I have nine" Sakura said "Pitiful compare to my twenty" Kenji said "I'm on twenty seven" Eriol gloated "Dream on Eriol everyone knows I'm winning on thirty six" Syaoran shouted "thirty six, just wait until he hears how many we have" Keroberos said swiping some more soldiers. "Now, now Keroberos not everything is a contest" Spinel sun unleashing a wave of purple energy at his foes "They won't stop coming!" Keroberos said as he breathed fire making them melt.
Iron man was once again struggling against the Mandarin "You will not win" Iron man said giving Manadrin a headbutt. "No, I will win and then you shall die!" Mandarin snarled as he delivered another attack from his ring "Sir your armour currently has 51% power and it is quickly draining" JARVIS cautioned "I know, the Mandarin is also losing energy and that means soon we'll have to deliver the big one" Iron man said in a grim tone of voice.
Sakura was quickly tiring "I don't more how much longer I...can...keep...fighting" she heavily panted out, her vision was blurring and that meant it was not a good thing, if she couldn't see then she couldn't fight at her best; meaning she was going to be injured, Tomoyo noticed her best friend waving and she rushed over "Sakura what's wrong?" she panicked holding onto her waist "I'm nearly out of power" Sakura said breathless "Hold on its nearly dawn hold on until then" Tomoyo said with tears in her eyes "The reason I'm out of energy is because I was using it to protect everyone here, hence the reason why you are awake" Sakura said with a sad smile appearing on her face "No, no please don't die" Tomoyo cried "I'm not dying I'm ti..." Sakura didn't finished as her eyes closed and her body started losing heat "Sakura" Tomoyo cried tears visibly falling from her eyes.
Iron man noticed something wasn't right but what he didn't know "Sir it appears we've lost someone" JARVIS said in despair "who?" Iron man asked turning around "no, it can't be!" he had tears welling up in his eyes from the sight before him "Sakura" he whispered. "YES I have done it the guardian is decreased, I win" Mandarin claimed "Not yet" Iron man barked thrusting his fist into the face of his opponent "You are going down!" Iron man roared. "Oh what are you doing about?" Mandarin sneered "Simple I'm taking your toys!" Iron man said "Oh and how are you doing to do that! Pray tell?" Mandarin had Iron man there none of the Sakura card could retrieve items.
"Time card freeze time" Iron ordered as a yellow looking aura appeared and froze the city. Iron man raced over and grabbed the gauntlets removing them from his hands and threw them on the ground "Time restore" Iron man ordered his eyes flashing white "What happened and where are my gauntlets?" Mandarin asked confused, he spotted them over near the railings as a bright ball of light was shot at them "You tyranny ends NOW!" Iron man shouted. "Now you have no rings or gauntlets and I have the cards but now we are uneven in my favour!" Iron man declared walking closer to his opponent. "Game" Iron man summoned a futuristic looking rapier, "Set" he raised it walking closer. "MATCH!" he roared as he brought the sword down only to have it blocked by a shield "What how did you get you rings back?" Iron man asked. "What was that about Game set match?" Mandarin asked before laughing in almost an evil howl "What now?" Tomoyo asked looking around the scene.
