Author's Note: Part number four!! ^^* Hope ya like it!!

Sakura gently knocked on her bedroom's door. "Heero...are you up?" There was the sound of movement, and the door opened. Sakura smiled at the boy and asked, "Tomoyo...umm...wants to see you. Here. Now. If that's ok with you..." Sakura grinned. Heero looked at her for a second and nodded his head. "Sure."

Sakura nodded and turned to Tomoyo who was standing right behind her. "Go for it Tomoyo!" The long-haired girl came in with a small bag. As the bedroom door closed, Tomoyo began to go through her bag; she took out a clipboard with paper, a pencil, and measuring tape. Heero looked at the two girls and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"Ooh...I'm going to make you a battle costume," Tomoyo answered cheerfully. Before Heero could do anything, the girl was going around and around with her measuring tape. Tomoyo called out the numbers, and Sakura wrote them down on the paper. Within a few minutes, Tomoyo was done. She smiled at Heero and then turned to Sakura. "Well, I've got to go if I'm to finish this costume before your next battle!" She waved and disappeared. Sakura then turned to Heero and laughed nervously. He was sitting on her bed with a gigantic thunderstorm above his head. He mumbled, "I do not need a battle costume."

Galantha had invited Khasekova to her domain. In her tower high in the clouds, she could see miles upon miles of the land. The lady turned to Khasekova and said, "Khasekova, you see that sakura blossom in that diamond case?" Galantha pointed a pale finger at the wilting flower, and Khasekova nodded. "When the last petal falls, all of my powers will be restored. By the looks of it, it should fall any moment now. That was why I called you here. For you see, when I am at my full strength, I can call my minions...and I will give several of them to you." She smiled.

"All this for releasing you?" asked Khasekova. The mistress of the universe nodded before responding. "Yes. You were the one who found the enchanted sakura blossom, and you were the one who pulled the first petal off. That first petal was what released me. It is unfortunate that a person can only pull off one petal. But my time in that prison is almost up!" As she spoke, the last remaining petal began to shake. The two carefully watched the progress of the flower. Finally after several tense minutes, the petal fell. As soon as the petal touched the bottom of the diamond case, a deep blue light engulfed Galantha.

Khasekova gasped at first, but when he saw her come out of the light, he let out a sigh of relief. Galantha had changed. Her eyes, which were once large and gentle, were narrow and cold. Her solid-black hair now was streaked with silver highlights. The starry-gown was replaced by one that was pitch black, like a black hole, with long draping sleeves. She no longer wore a coronet, but instead bore a large moon earring in her left ear and a matching sun earring in her right. She carried a long glaive with a silver blade that was engraved with images of the sun, the moon, and the stars. Gold and silver plates bearing the same icons protected her wrists, her shoulders and h her upper body. Her nails were painted a deep navy blue with small star jewels embedded on them. Above all, the most notable difference was the pair of black angel wings unfurling from her back.

As Khasekova took the new Galantha in, she turned and faced him. In a sweet, gentle voice she spoke. "What do you think?"

As soon as Galantha had finished her transformation, Sakura felt it. It was like a gigantic wave of power that washed over her. It was so intense that she had to lean on her desk to keep herself stable. At the same time, Kero, Eriol, Yukito, Nakuru, and Spinel Sun experienced the same disorientation. Sakura frantically dialed her card captor friends and told them to meet at the king penguin.

As they all gathered, they began to discuss what was going on. Only Eriol and Heero remained silent. Finally, all the chatter settled down, and Eriol spoke. "She has transformed."

"What?" asked the others. "Galantha is in her final form. Her strongest form." There were murmurs through the small group. Silence then ensued. Kero turned to Sakura. "Are you ready? This'll be tough, but we can do it, right?!" Everyone nodded, and they huddled together to plan their next move.

The Gundam boys and Shaoran were enjoying another peaceful day. Duo sat up and faced his friends. "Hey guys! Do you think that Khasekova is laying off? He hasn't made a single move since...since that card that Li faced."

"You're right, Duo," replied Quatre, "It does seem like he's given up. I have this bad feeling that he is just readying his troops though. Something doesn't feel right." Shaoran looked up at the blue sky and mumbled to himself. "I wonder how close Sakura and the others are to defeating Galantha."

Galantha laughed wickedly at her new found power. She smiled briefly before speaking to Khasekova. "Khasekova, I grant you some of my minions." She waved her hand to her right, and a host of black and navy colored creatures appeared. Some appeared to be wolves, others looked like large cats, and still others looked like dragons. Galantha smiled warmly at her friend and spoke, "I believe that you want to return to your world now. Those beasts will follow you to the end. Have no fear."

Khasekova nodded. Galantha smiled, and within a flash, Khasekova was back in his palace. He looked around, and the black and navy beasts were at his sides. The man walked outside to the balcony and looked at the sky; it was no longer blue. It was a dangerous hue of red.

Trowa sat up as he saw the sky slowly melt into a blood red color. "What's going on here?" Nearby, Shaoran was staring in bewilderment at the sky. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was open. Duo walked over and put a hand on the boy's shoulder. "What's up, Li?"

"Galantha...she must've gotten stronger. This is Galantha's aura but at least one hundred times stronger. But the thing is, I don't sense Galantha herself!"

"What?" asked the other boys. Shaoran turned and looked at them. "Galantha has given Khasekova some of her power. It has to be!" The Gundam boys looked up at the crimson sky. Wufei continued to watch the sky as he spoke. "Looks like the real war is yet to come." As they stood there, bolts of lightning began to streak across the sky.

Sakura ran through the streets with Kero and Heero at her sides. The sky above had turned scarlet, and lightning bolts were beginning to rake across the sky, just as they had where Shaoran was. Sakura was getting extremely nervous, and Heero could sense it. "Don't be nervous. If the enemy senses you are nervous, you're dead." Sakura looked at Heero who was easily keeping pace with her sprint and nodded. In a flash, something appeared in front of them. As they skidded to a stop, the figure came towards them; it was Galantha. Kero gasped and transformed.

As Galantha's eyes bore down on them, Sakura, Heero, and Kero surveyed Galantha as well. Galantha then laughed and said, "Well well well, if it isn't for Sakura and her little friends. I remember how your little cards stopped me the first time. Let's see about now!!" A bright flash of light came from her hands. Sakura barely had enough time to call upon the Shield card. The Shield didn't even hold out for a minute before it gave way. The blast of light continued forward and slammed the trio into a wall. Keroberos managed to save Sakura from hitting the wall by placing his body between her and the barrier, but Heero took the hit by himself. To the others amazement, he stood up. He glared across the broken ground at the lady. "You'll be defeated. You and Khasekova both!"

Galantha let out another ear-piercing laugh. "I highly doubt it, Heero Yuy!" Galantha was about to unleash another attack when she sensed something from behind her. She turned around and saw a boy with glasses behind her: Eriol. "Stop right there, Galantha!" From the shadows, Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun appeared. Before long, Yue landed next to Sakura. He bent down and helped her to stand. "Are you all right?" Sakura managed a nod before practically collapsing into Yue's arms. Heero took on a fighting pose and noticed someone beside him was doing the same: Meilin. She winked at him and focused once again on the floating figure.

"Ooh...I'm shaking with fear. Are you all ready for the experience of a lifetime? If you're not...well...too bad!!" There was another bright flash and waves of energy began to pour from Galantha. Yue tried to form a shield and protect Sakura and Keroberos, but he ended up having to fly away with the unconscious Sakura in his arms. Keroberos also managed to make an ungainly escape. Eriol and his guardians, too, tried to form a shield, but it didn't work. Eriol quickly climbed on Spinel Sun and managed to escape. Heero and Meilin, however, were not so lucky. They, having no magic and no way to escape, were hit by the full blast of the attack. The two were thrown into the bushes nearby with a crash.

Eriol ordered Ruby Moon to go assist them. Before long, Ruby Moon was at their side, ready to make a break for it with them in her arms. Yue formed a bow and arrow in his hands and released an arrow. Galantha waved a hand and the arrow vanished. Keroberos roared a torrent of fire, but Galantha stopped it halfway. Eriol waved his staff in the air and ordered everyone to retreat. In an instant, the mistress of the universe was alone in the street. She let out a satisfied laugh and made a quick departure.

Khasekova stroked one of the beasts fur. It looked up at him with its black eyes. For an instant, Khasekova thought he saw the stars in them, but they vanished. Then the man reached into his pocket and took out the cards that Galantha had given him. They were glowing with a vitality that begged to be released. He took one of the cards and examined it carefully. Looks like water or something... He shrugged and spoke. "Card of Galantha! Awaken and fight for your master!" The card glowed even brighter and came to life. Out of the card appeared a female figure. She didn't seem to have legs because her lower body flowed into a giant stream of water. The figure bowed and quickly departed.

Within moments, the Card had reached the boys’ safehouse. She let out a howl and continued her crashing course towards the mansion. The boys heard the sound and ran to the window. They got there just in time to see the water flying through and hitting them in the face. The room began to fill with water, and the boys made their way towards either the door or the window. Quatre and Trowa managed to get to the door. As soon as they had opened it, the water rushed them out of the room. Duo, Wufei and Shaoran had gotten to a window, and they jumped out. The water reformed into a female figure, following Duo, Wufei and Shaoran out the window. When Shaoran safely reached the ground, he drew his sword and a special slip of paper. "Lord of thunder! Descend!!" Lightning began to pour through the slip of paper and fly towards the watery figure. The female screamed in pain as electricity ran through it. It kept screaming until it vanished in a poof of blue smoke. Duo, Wufei and Shaoran sat down on the wet grass and took a breather. In a few minutes, Quatre and Trowa appeared at the door. "Are you guys okay?" questioned Quatre. Their friends slowly nodded.

I'm beginning to notice that these stories keep getting shorter. Gomen nasai!! Ah well, I guess I can make that up by the number of parts this series has, ne? ^_~* Well, that's all for now! To Be Continued...
