Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story besides me, myself, and I. I am not profiting off of this story nor am I making money off of it in any way, any shape, or any form. I also do not own CardCaptors, it does and will always belong to Clamp. With the disclaimer now out of the way, it is now time to move on to the 34th chapter. And also, I just thought I would dedicate this chapter title as well as the chapter to one of my all time favorite disaster shows.

Chapter 34: Seconds From Disaster

Several days had passed since the incident with the penguin statues at penguin park, and several more incidents wound up occurring since then. This included a bunch of fence bars coming to life out of the blue, requiring Sakura and I to transform the Mirror card to make duplicates of ourselves to give Tori the illusion that we were still with him while we went off to fight the fence bars. Which we had to transform the Mist card to corrode and disintegrate them. About a day after that incident, Sakura and I had decided to get a fortune each, but whilst we were asleep that night, we had transformed the Dream card whilst asleep, and we also had visions of three familiar silhouettes standing atop a familiar shrine. About a day or so after that incident, after the school had gone to an indoor water park, the water levels decided to rise at higher than normal levels out of nowhere, and while it wasn't easy for either Sakura or I to conceal our magic with everyone being around, we managed to remain hidden, whilst transforming the Water card to bring the water levels at the park back under control.

Location: On Top Of A Ski Slope Somewhere On The Mountain

Time: 6 PM

This really was quickly becoming a complete disaster. Not only were Sakura, myself and Eli stuck on top of a ski slope on the top of the mountain, but once we had gotten to the top, a blizzard decided to form. The wind had picked up, nearly knocking both Sakura and I off our feet. Luckily Eli grabbed hold of both of us and we were able to steady ourselves. "I'm sure glad you came up with us after all, thanks a lot" Sakura said to Eli. And yet, I was still suspicious of Eli since I still didn't have any information on his character. But, if Sakura trusted him, so did I. So I thanked him as well and smiled, though still, I was still a tad suspicious. It was at that point that the wind decided to pick up even more. And it was at this point that all three of us started to hear a far away rumbling. I instantly knew what that meant, it was an avalanche, and it sounded like it was headed straight for us, and if Sakura and I didn't do something now, it would not only bury all three of us, but it would also travel further down hill and end up destroying the chalet that everyone else was in. Sakura and I knew that if we used our magic at this moment that Eli would see, I thought that using the Sleep card was the best choice, but seeing as how the wind was howling as it was and the amount of snow, neither of us would be able to carry Eli down the hill by ourselves, and if he was asleep then he might get hit by the avalanche. And if we split up, he would worry about us and try to find us. But we knew that given the circumstances, both Sakura and I had no choice but to take off running back down the hill in the direction of the ski lift. We both knew that there was only one card that could be of use right now in this situation. And with that thought in mind, we both took out our respective keys, "key of the star, with power burning bright, reveal the staff, and shine your light, Release!" we chanted in unison. With both of our respective staffs now in hand, I pulled out the Time card, turned to Sakura, to which we both gave a nod to each other. I then threw the time card into the air, and as it spun, we both spun our respective staffs. "We call upon the power of our stars, ancient forces near and far, Time card discard your former might, and draw your power from our light, star card!" we chanted in unison as we raised our respective staffs. And once the Time card stopped spinning, and displayed the new symbol on the back and the new colors on the front and back like the other transformed star cards, the avalanche was hit by the Time card's power and was stopped in it's tracks. However, once everything around us had been frozen by the Time card's power, it was becoming quickly apparent that doing something like this was taking a lot of magic power from both Sakura and I. This was being further compounded as Sakura slowly pulled out the Fire card, and very sluggishly threw it up into the air. I wasn't fairing any better then her. And as we both attempted to raise our respective staffs in an attempt to use the Fire card, we both started to waiver, and then we both fell over, having now exhausted our magical power. And it was as we both fell that the Time card's power that was holding back the avalanche was starting to fade away, causing it to slowly pick up speed again. However, as Sakura and I hit the ground, and fell unconscious, we were not able to see a familiar young man use a sun shaped staff to repel the avalanche, and then go over to where Sakura and I lay on the ground unconscious, only to look with a slight smirk on his face.
