CardCaptors
The Magic of Source
By Margaret Chen Li
Chapter Nine
Challenge With Dark Shadow
By the time Sakura and the rest reached the city of A, their
guide appeared. "Hi there, I see you finished your mission.
Now each of you grab the talisman you captured and go to the
selected buildings. Then, you go to the end of the building and
place the papers in order when you get them in those buildings.
You have to put it at the same time incase to get back on Earth."
"Sounds easy to me."
They all placed the talisman in the correct place and they all
got a paper card that has the symbol on it. Finally they placed
the cards in the correct order at the same time and a very bright
light came out of those symbols. "Wow, I never saw such
beautiful thing." Meilin said when the light came out and
all of them stepped in and it brought them somewhere else.
"Welcome Clow Scouts and Source Twins. You finally made
it. I couldn't believe that you made to the end of this game
but I definitely sure that you are going to lose. Here is the
game; there are 52 Clow Cards and 21 Source Cards. Clow Scouts
only could use Clow Cards and Source Twins only could use Source
Cards. I'll take away High and Low cards and also Dark Shadow
cards. The only Source Card that I'm taken is The Death and that
is the game. You can use your cards as many times as you wish
but if it disappeared or I burned it, you can't use it anymore
but if you wins, you could still get it back. I don't think it's
possible that you guys will win so well, I won't go easy on you.
Give me your best shot! I'll give you time to think about what
card you are going to use. Remember I am your only enemy and
I only have 9 cards and the match is tomorrow in Source Stadium."
"We're going to win!" "Whatever."
"What are we going to do Li?" "I have a plan,
since we only could use the card we've been selected, it made
it easier. Sakura and I could use some powerful cards and Meilin
and Madison use fighting cards to back us up. Sunlin and Moonlin
just have to guard us when they are attacking us." "I
think it's cool though, we have 6 people and that is enough."
"I don't think so, here, Sunlin and Moonlin are guards,
Meilin and Madison are fighters and if you guys couldn't hold
it much longer, we will finish it up." "Li, don't you
think you sounded like we're not coming back?" "I don't
think we are going back but if we did, we have to make everything
back to normal and now we have to get some sleep." "Sure."
They all had a good night rest but Li was worried about tomorrow.
The day had finally come and they all saved their energy for
the fight and they had good breakfast. "Come on Clow Scouts,
win this and make Clow Reed proud." "That's right!
Make the Magic of Source very proud!" They needed a lot
of cheering and happiness and then stopped smiling when Dark
Shadow came.
"Here are some of my rules, I could use Dark Magic; I could
use my 9 cards and I could kill you right when I wanted."
"That means you want to cheat." "Well, you can
say that or I could just destroy everything and you will all
be dead. Which one you like?" "Okay, as long as we
keep everything alive, we could accept your rules." "Good
one, release Sucking Card!" The Sucking Card sucked out
Madison's power and she fainted. "Meilin, quick, get in
Madison's dream and help her!" "Okay." "I
can't believe you did that Dark Shadow." "I don't cheat
a lot and now each time I killed someone we could take a break."
"Okay. Everyone, if they died, don't cry and we have to
finish this one on ourselves, okay?" "I can't do it,
if Madison died, I want to die too because she is my best friend."
"You can't do it Sakura, think about if you died, and the
rest will die too and the world is gone bad." "I'll
try to stay positive."
Inside Madison's dream, Meilin is a prison in jail and Madison
is the detective. There was a murder and Meilin was the only
one found in the house that's been murdered. After that, some
strange ghost haunted the house and no one will come out that
house alive. Madison brought Meilin to the haunted house, no
matter how long time Meilin had been telling Madison she has
to wake up, Madison won't listen.
"Madison! Listen! Anything you see or hear isn't true! Your
friend Sakura is in danger and we need to go and rescue them!"
"Save it Meilin, you are a murderer and you have to tell
me what is going on in that house!" "I don't know!
I am stuck here! All the things aren't real except you and me.
If we died in here, we will be gone forever!" "I know
that Meilin! If we died we can't come back and still I don't
believe a thing that's coming out of your mouth. We have to go
in now and I don't want to waste time." "Fine then.
At least I can make a spell so Li and Sakura know that we're
dead." "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Madison, think fast, think about Magic Arrow and Magic
Key and some Clow Cards." "What Magic Arrow and what
Magic Key and what's Clow Cards?" Those items appeared when
Madison said those things." "Thanks Madison. The Magic
of Clow, give a message that we are dead to Li and Sakura and
tell them and don't worry. Okay, Madison, let's go in."
Inside the house is very dark, and no one could see what's going
on. "Meilin, Madison, you finally came." "Who
are you?" "I'm Dark Shadow's shadow and you have to
beat me incase to continue this mission." "What about
if we died?" "Then Sunlin and Moonlin will die too."
"You are so cruel, I am Meilin and I'm not afraid of anything!"
Meilin began to find the shadow. "Meilin, I just realized
that you are not a murderer but the shadow is." "You
just realized? It's too late you know." "I'm taking
care of this. Release Fight!" The Fight card is taking care
of shadow but it didn't work out that well so Meilin tried The
Power. The Power hold a lot of weight and shadow is losing a
lot of power. Then Meilin used The Shadow to beat shadow. "Ha,
this ain't scaring me at all. Release Blizzard." "This
is what I'm afraid of! Release Firey!" The fire is all over
the place and Meilin's costume changed. "I am the fire and
now if I can't finish this, we both are going to die. Death Firey!
Kill both of us and leave Madison alive!" The fire killed
Meilin and shadow and Madison woke up with the wands and the
cards in her hand.
"Madison, I'm so happy you're back! Where's Meilin?"
"She died for me." "What? How?" "In
my dream everything is messy and I don't remember a thing and
shadow is trying to kill us but Meilin used The Firey to kill
both of them and I survived." "Okay, break is over
and is anybody having fun? I got a little message and now I have
to kill somebody because Meilin died. I only kill one because
the other one finished her mission then it's either Moonlin or
Sunlin. Which one you want me to take?" "Can't you
take me or Li or Madison? Why Moonlin or Sunlin?" "If
you and Li died, the world is dying and if Madison died I have
to kill both Sunlin and Moonlin because she didn't finish her
mission. You get it now?" "No! They are my friends."
"Then I'm going to take one myself. Sunlin, die!" Sunlin
died in the front of Sakura, Li, Madison, and Moonlin. Moonlin
fainted and she couldn't hold the pain and Madison is very mad.
"You monster! How could you do such a thing? The power of
Death Firey, kill me to wake up Moonlin! Release!" "NO!
Madison!" The fire hurt Dark Shadow a little but he is still
fine and Moonlin woke up. "Now I'm going to take Moonlin
too because Madison died." "NO way!" "Let
me go Sakura, it's the only way that he loses some power and
you can save your energy and I still can be with Sunlin all the
time. It's artificial." "But Moonlin, you can't do
it!" "I'm using Death Firey also and this is for Sunlin.
Bye my good friends!"
The fire flew over Dark Shadow's body and all their friends died
except Li and Sakura. They cried very hard. And now they are
in a really big trouble.
