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 chapter. Even though the original anime had this event in the anime split into two complete episodes, I am going to make this a two chapter thing unlike what I did with my Final Judgment chapter. Which is also going to be done with both movies as well. But like the Final Judgment, I am going to wind up melding them all into one chapter, so that people can read them easier.
Chapter 72: Revelations (Part 2)
Things had now very quickly gotten out of hand. Not only had Eli revealed himself to be the reincarnation of Clow Reed. But out of nowhere the sky was shrouded in darkness. It was then that Sakura and I, along with Li, and Kero, realized that something was very very wrong. It was at this point that Eli decided to speak up, he told me and Sakura that in order for the light to be restored, we would both need to turn all of the remaining clow cards that we had into star cards. This was then followed up by Kero transforming into his true form, and with Yue arriving on the scene, I then chose this particular moment to pull out the Windy card. Without either Sakura or I having to exchange a word to each other, I threw the Windy card into the air and we both then raised our respective staffs, "Windy card, become a chain and tie him up" we chanted in unison. Unfortunately, before the Windy card spirit could reach Eli, it was dissipated by a forcefield that seemed to materialize around him. "You are not going to be able to do to me what you were able to do to Yue" Eli said, which earned a shocked expression from both Sakura and I. Sakura then followed up by pulling out the Fly card, to which we both raised our respective staffs, "fly!" we chanted, and with the all too familiar wings now on our backs, we took off skyward, and towards Eli, only to have Ruby shoot red streams of energy in our direction, to which two of them caught one of our wings, which sent us spiraling downards. Thankfully though, Yue was able to dive in, and catch us before we hit the ground. It was after a bunch more fighting and back and forth, that Sakura and I then took it upon ourselves to transform some of the remaining clow cards that we still had that weren't turned into star cards yet. This however left just two more, the Light card, and the Dark card. After a bit of conversation, it was agreed that both Keroberos and Yue would become one with both of our staffs in an attempt to help both Sakura and I transform the Light and Dark cards into star cards. However, it was revealed by Eli, that if our attempt to transform the Light and Dark cards into star cards failed, that both Keroberos and Yue, would wind up trapped and asleep in our staffs, forever.
It was now a case of succeed or fail for both Sakura and I. But we still couldn't believe what Eli had just said to us, "If you two can dispel the darkness, they will return" Eli said. "And what if we can't transform the Light card?" I asked somewhat afraid of his answer. "Then they both will suffer a horrible fate, and they will be trapped in your staffs for all eternity" Eli said in response. Which not surprisingly neither Sakura or I took all too well. In fact, both of us took it pretty rough actually, with both of us collapsing after hearing with what we had just heard, only to thankfully be supported physically by both Keroberos and Yue and with words of encouragement from both of them. It was at this point, that seeing as how neither Sakura or I had no other choice, we turned to one another, and after a nod, and with Keroberos and Yue fused with our staffs, we then began the process of transforming both the Light and Dark cards into star cards. And as I threw the Light card into the air, with Sakura doing the same with the Dark card, we then raised our respective now transformed staffs and our respective circles appeared below us. "We call upon the power of our stars, ancient forces near and far, Light and Dark cards discard your former might, and draw your power from our light, star cards!" we chanted in unison. And as the wind started to pick up, and both the Light and Dark cards started to glow, it was quickly becoming apparent that this wasn't going to be easy. In fact, as time started to pass, we actually were starting to struggle in transforming both the Light and Dark cards into star cards. At one point, it nearly got to where we had almost failed completely. But thanks to Li stepping in, and giving his power to both of us in an effort to help us both succeed, we managed to get that extra boost to not only transform the Light and Dark cards, but we also managed to call upon the Light card spirit to dissipate the darkness. However, it was at this point that I once again, like after the Final Judgment, got a somewhat bad feeling. But like before, seeing as how both Sakura and I had just accomplished a major achievement in transforming all of the clow cards into star cards, I once again ignored it. Unfortunately, I should've done my best to trust that bad feeling. Because, like back after the Final Judgment, that was a warning of the challenges, that still lay ahead for not just Sakura and I, but those that were close to us as well. But, as the three of us congratulated each other on a job well done, it was at this point that Eli decided to interject by saying that the reason that he did things the way that he did was he didn't see any other way of doing it. I of course at that very moment, finally understood where Eli was coming from once he had said that, and I had a strong feeling that Sakura did as well.
