Okay, so things regarding the current appearance of the final Clow Card, hadn't exactly gone according to plan. In fact, as a large boulder like pillar, now suddenly shot up from the ground. Which was then quickly followed by several more, in almost rapid succession. I couldn't help, but then overhear, the now unmistakable sound, of the ground, now starting to shake in just that much more, of a violent manner.
And, as the cracks in the ground, now started to quickly branch out across the ground. And as I took notice of this, I then, wound up stopping completely dead, with my face, then turning an almost complete, sheet of white.
For what I was actually looking at, was Madison, who at the moment, was in the direct path, of the current branching cracks in the ground.
However, and thankfully, I was then able to breath out a short sigh of relief. And the reason?...Well...
"Madison, lookout!" I heard the voice of Sakura yell. As she then managed, to get over to Madison, and get her out of the way of the branching cracks in the ground, just in time.
"Sakura, Zachary, use your magic!" I then heard the unmistakable voice of Kero yell. And this, not surprisingly, caused me to look at Kero, in almost complete disbelief.
"What, here?!" I heard Sakura then yell in response.
And to be honest, I didn't question Sakura's response to what Kero had just said, in the slightest.
"But, Julian will see us!" I heard Sakura say in response.
"Use the Sleep Card!" I then heard Li yell in response.
And with Li then having said that. I then turned my attention to Sakura, while giving her an expression, as if to let her know, that given the currently unfolding situation, neither of us, really had any choice in the matter. And to be honest, Sakura, pretty much knew this as well.
And so, with Sakura, then nodding to me, and me nodding back to her in response. We then both, pulled out our respective keys.
"Oh key of Clow, power of magic, power of light, surrender the wand, the force ignite, RELEASE!" Me and Sakura chanted in unison, as the all too familiar sand, then started to whip through the air around us both, and in an instant, both of our respective keys, were once again, in staff form.
And not wanting to waste anymore time, I then pulled out the Sleep Card. To which me and Sakura, then raised our respective staffs. "Sleep Card, come to our aide, release and dispel!" Me and Sakura chanted in unison, as we hit the Sleep Card, at the exact same time, with the tips of our respective staffs.
And, with the all too familiar appearance, of the Sleep Card spirit, and with it flying through the air, whilst putting everyone to sleep, besides, me, Sakura, Li, and apparently, Ms. Mackenzie as well. Me and Sakura, then set to work, on capturing and sealing, the last, and final Clow Card.
A short time later, on a nearby building, after me and Sakura, had had a less then safe run-in with the Earth Cards physical form. And after we had both tried, and failed, to attack the Earth Card, with the Water Card. And, when I say that...well...
"Are you kidding me?!" I said out loud.
"It just grew back!" Sakura chimed in right after me. As the Earth Card spirits head, had simply just grown back even after the Water Card, had managed to slice it off so easily.
I then took notice, of Kero, now somewhat short of breath, on the roof of the house, that the three of us were currently on. "Kero are you alright?" I asked him.
"Yea I'm fine, but you can't defeat Earth with just an attack card," Kero said to me in response.
"Then, how are we both supposed to defeat it?" Sakura asked in response.
"You both can do this, just search for a card that has never let you both down," Kero then said.
And to be honest, I couldn't help, but have a sweatdrop, then make itself visible, on one side of my face. "Okay Kero, not really the most helpful of advice, but I guess it is advice nonetheless," I thought to myself.
And, after a short bit, of me and Sakura, using the Jump Card, to dodge quite a lot, of the Earth Card spirits attacks. And while me, Sakura, and Kero, were midway through one of our jumps, and were currently high above the ground. Me and Sakura, couldn't help but notice, the sheer amount of damage, that was being caused, by the Earth Card spirit.
"It's causing so much damage," Sakura said.
But, it was while I had been looking on, alongside Sakura, at the still mounting damage, that was being caused by the earth like pillars of the Earth Card spirit. I then couldn't help but notice, that the trees surrounding the mounting damage from the Earth Card spirit, had not been knocked down.
"Wait a second, Kero told me and Sakura, to search for a card that has never let us both down, and trees wrap themselves around the earth all the time, so maybe," I thought myself, as I then, without having to think very much about it, reached into my pocket, and then pulled out a Clow Card.
"Hey Sakura!" I yelled to her, while holding up the Clow Card, that I had just pulled from my pocket. And yet, even though I had not shown Sakura the identity, of the Clow Card in question, I could somehow tell, from the look on her face, that she knew almost immediately what my plan was.
And so, without wanting to waste even another second, and once we had both landed back down on the ground again. Me and Sakura, did a quick heel turn of sorts, as we both, then started to make our way, towards the Earth Card spirit.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a sec here!" I heard Kero yell out to us in somewhat of a protest, as if he thought, that we were crazy.
But thankfully though, both me and Sakura, were quick to explain to Kero, our logic for doing this.
"Kero, you said for me and Sakura to search for a card that has never let us down!" I said, with a now very determined look on my face.
"So we both know that this is it!" Sakura said shortly after.
And with both of us having said our separate statements. Me and Sakura, then set to work, with capturing and sealing the Earth Card spirit.
"Wood card, come to our aide, use your vines to help us both trap Earth. Wood, release and dispel!" Me and Sakura, chanted in unison, as we hit the Wood Card at the exact same time with the tips of our respective staffs.
And a split second later the Wood Card spirit then appeared and began soaring towards the Earth Card spirit. And a second or later, the Earth Card spirit had then been bound, by the Wood card spirits many vines.
"Seal it!" I then heard Kero say to me and Sakura.
And, with me and Sakura, quickly turning to each other, and then nodding. We both then raised our respective staffs.
"Earth Card, we command you to return to your power confined, Earth!" Me and Sakura chanted in unison, as we both then swung our respective staffs down, at exactly the same time.
And, with the Earth Card spirit, then being sucked into both of our respective Clow Card halves, which just like all the Clow Card captures before, then formed together to form a whole and complete Clow Card, the Earth Card was sealed.
But even though the final Clow Card had now finally been captured. I somehow still knew deep down, that this, was still very much, far from being over.
