Sakura and the Final Judgement PT. 2
"Jump!!" Sakura cried, wings sprouting on her shoes, and dodged Yue's blast.
Yue held a glowing spere in his hand. He held it out infront of him, and
blasted many shards of ice at Sakura.
"Sakura!" Madison screeched.
Sakura lunged out of the way of the ice. Li, Madison and Cerberus stared
helplessly as Sakura dodged Yue's blasts.
"AHH!" Sakura cried, jumping off the wall of the Tsukimine Shrine, barely
dodging the ice.
Li rushed over to help Sakura, but Cerberus lunged in his path.
"Sakura'll lose if somebody tries to help her!" Cerberus explained.
"Julian has a relationship with the Clow Cards?" Madison asked, staring at
Yue.
"I didn't sence his power at all!" Li exclaimed, "Was it because he was
always with her brother?"
"That's why he was always around as Tori's friend." Cerberus explained,
"Tori has power. It's diffrent from Sakura's, but it's strong."
"I came to this town when there was someone who could open the book. Yue
also came to this town when there was the strongest power."
"The Candidate for Master I waited for broke the seal."
"She opened the book?!" Li said.
"So when Julian came from the book, he became Tori's friend?" Madison asked.
"No, that's a coincidence!" Cerberus replied.
"But then Julian knew Sakura was capturing the Cards?" Madison asked,
glancing at Sakura.
"No way!" Cerberus replied, "Only when Sakura caught the Last Card did Yue
awaken. Julian dosen't even know Yue exists, otherwise Sakura, The Brat, and
I would've noticed."
Miss Mikenzi stepped over to them.
"Yes, but Julian is bewitching, isn't he?" She asked, smiling, "Li and
Sakura have power, so they are attracted to power. Possessing Clow Reed's
blood, or having a claim on the Clow Cards naturally makes you attracted to
the Clow Guardian."
"But dosen't that mean Li and Kero would be friends?" Madison asked.
"Well," Li said, "She already gets 'hanyaan' around that teacher, but I
don't."
-----
"It's my role." Miss Mikenzi said.
"I have a question about that!" Cerberus said, "What role?!"
"I have something to give." She replied.
Sakura was suddenly struck down by one of the shards of ice, and she fell to
the ground.
"Sakura!!" Li, Madison, and Cerberus shouted in unison.
"Ohh.." Sakura moaned. looking up at the tall buildings around her.
What? Sakura thought, spotting a figure, engulfed in a strange, golden
aura, on top of one of the buildings, watching her.
Yue towered over her.
"If you do not use attack Cards aswell, all you can do is run." Yue said,
"If you are not serious, it's over."
Yue held his hand up at Sakura, and his palm began to glow.
"Wait! Yue!" Cerberus cried, "Hold on Sakura, the disaster of the world is
awakening!!"
Sakura got to her feet, and looked up, seeing the figure was gone.
"What kind of disaster?" Sakura asked, searching for the figure.
"Forgetting." Yue said.
Sakura snapped her attention to Yue.
"Forgetting?" Sakura asked.
"After the Selector Cerberus chooses the Cardcaptor, "Yue hissed, "And if
the next for the Clow Card Master cannot defeat the judge, Yue."
"The Cards, and everything to do with the Clow cards will vanish," Cerberus
said, "And the one you love the most will also vanish."
"The Clow Cards will seal themselves. But the one who sealed them is thought
to be the most important," Yue said, "But if the master isn't suitable...."
"The cards aren't mean or anything, " Cerberus said, "Once the loved ones
have been forgotten, then the ones affected by the Clow Cards will also be
forgotten."
"I'll forget the one I love the most?" Sakura asked.
"And the seal on the Clow Cards will dissolve again, and the cards will wait
for a new candidate for their Master." Cerberus explained, "When the seals
on the cards dissove again, the disaster , it is not a disaster for the
world,"
"But for that one person,
"It is far more bitter."
"Oh no..." Sakura realized, "The ones I love, I'll forget?"
Tori, Julian's friend, Sakura thought, The Clow Card book was in his
library, so Dad too?
Watery grabbed her leg, so Chelsea too?
Niki saw the Illusion, so her too?
The Sword card manipulated Rita too.
When Flower rained flowers...
Everyone at the Athletics meet?!
And Miss Mikenzi?!
"That's.." Sakura gasped. "THAT'S AWFUL!!!"
Sakura turned to Cerberus.
"Kero," Sakura said, "I really can't attack. It's really Julian, I just know
it. And you and him were born as a pair, and I want to become good friends."
"But it's impossible to win against Yue without attacking!" Cerberus
replied.
"Then I won't use cards that attack." Sakura replied.
"No!" Cerberus yelled, "Except for the attack Cards, they're all Yue's
attributes, and'll reflect back at you!"
"I don't know," Sakura said, more determined than she had ever been in her
life, "But I'll give it my all!"
Sakura turned back to Yue.
"No matter what," Sakura said to herself, "Everything will be alright."
"Very well." Yue replied, "Now we continue the Judgement."
Sakura stared up at Yue, seeing Julian in her mind.
I won't attack! Sakura thought, What kind of Card?
Sakura took out The Windy.
"Wait!!" Cerberus cried, "Windy is Yue's attribute Card! You can't get
anywhere using Yue's attribute cards! If you use it, it will reflect back at
you! You can't injure him that way!"
Cerberus looked up at the full moon.
"And it's the full moon!" Cerberus continued, "Yue's power is strongest!"
Yue smirked down at Cerberus.
"The Selector and the Final Judgement," He mocked, "And you can't raise a
finger to help her."
Cerberus growled, his fur bristling.
"I won't stay out of it!!" He yelled.
"If there is advice you've over looked," Yue said, smirking, "This is your
last oppertunity."
Cerberus looked helplessly over at Sakura.
"Sorry. I can't do anything." Cerberus said mournfully, "But Sakura, I'll
never forget you. And the cards you have collected are with you.
"Everybody loves Sakura."
Sakura looked back at him gratefully and said, "Thank you."
Sakura took out a card.
"Lend me your power! Wood!" Sakura cried.
Sakura hit the card with her wand.
"No good!" Cerberus cried, "Wood too!"
Light flew out of the card, and formed into a beautiful woman with vines
growing down her shoulders and above her head. The woman glowed a bright
white, and split apart, forming long, leafy vines.
Yue lifted his hand, and the vines stopped in mid-air.
Sakura looked at the vines, stunned.
Suddenly, the vines flew back, away from Yue, and at Sakura.
"Yaaa!!!" Sakura cried, the vines wrapping around her arms and legs, lifting
her into the air.
"Sakura!" Li cried,
"Li! Look!" Madison cried, pointing to a tall building.
Li turned to see another figure on that building , egulfed in a golden aura.
"Who is that?!" Li asked.
Sudden;y, the aura began to shrink and disappear, and the figure also began
to vanish.
"Cerberus! Look!" Li cried.
Cerberus tore his eyes away from the battle scene, just in time to see the
figure completely vanish.
"Who was that?" Cerberus asked.
"I don't know," Li replied, "But Sakura needs help!!"
Cerberus turned back to see Sakura, vines binding her arms to her sides and
her legs together, and suspinding her in mid-air.
"Wood is affiliated with the Moon," Yue said, "Didn't Cerberus tell you
anything? He only told you the absolue minimum you had to know. I suppose
that's custom for the candidates to be the new Master."
Yue turned to Cerberus, "This is far enough, Cerberus," Yue said, "Now the
disaster awakens."
Sakura gasped.
"NOOO!!"
Suddenly, the vines began to glow and shrink away. They tuned into a white
light, which swirled infront of Sakura, and was sucked into a rectangle of
light.
Sakura fell to the ground, The Wood Card floating down to her.
"Sakura!" Cerberus cried.
"She undid the magic herself," Yue gasped, "But the only one who can pass
ther Judgement is Clow."
"Yue? About Clow?" Sakura asked.
Yue's face turned stern.
"Now it ends." Yue said, approaching Sakura.
Suddenly, The Clow Cards flew up and around Sakura, who was huddled on her
knees, shaking with fright.
"The Clow Cards protected her!" Li said in amazement.
Sakura opened her eyes, and her face broke out in a smile.
"Thank you!!" Sakura cried happily.
Then, Miss Mikenzi began walking towards Sakura.
Cerberus jumped infront of her, arching his back.
"What do you think you're doing?!" He yelled.
Miss Mikenzi held up her golden bell, holding the long strips of red cloth
in her other hand.
"I have something to give her." She replied, walking past Cerberus.
"Your presence will result in your injury." Yue said, glaring at Miss
Mikenzi.
"I also have the power of the Moon," Miss Mikenzi replied, "I have something
to give to Sakura."
She turned to Sakura.
"Sakura?" She asked.
"Y-Yes?" Sakura asked.
"From Clow Reed, a gift for you." Miss Mikenzi said.
"From Clow?!" Sakura gasped.
"Why would Clow?!" Creberus yelped.
Yue flew over to Miss Mikenzi.
"What do you mean?" He asked suspiciously.
"Clow Reed died in Japan," Miss Mikenzi replied, "Before he died, he
released the seals and scattered the cards, who would wait for a new
candidate."
"That's right." Yue said.
"Yeah." Cerberus agreed.
"Clow used fortune telling to predict his own death, He knew where the
candidate and the Clow book would be." Miss Mikenzi explained, "It passed
through many hands, and many places, and it came to be in Tomeda."
Miss Mikenzi turned to Sakura, "The candidate would be a cute girl living in
Tomeda. She would be an appropriate Clow Card owner. That's why he made the
cute pink staff."
"Ho-hoe." Sakura said in amazement.
----> hopefully you know what Hoe in CCS means <----
"But the two Clow Card Guaridans must jusge the new Master." She continued,
"In particular, the Judge with the power of the Moon is very important.
That's why he left something behind to save the next candidate."
"That is?" Madison asked.
"The bell..." Li answered.
"Clow Reed made this bell, and gave it to the Tsukimine Shrine near Sakura's
home to wait for the next Candidate." Miss Mikenzi continued.
"Clow?" Cerberus asked.
"A woman was born with Moon Power." She replied.
"You!" Yue hissed.
"I came to understand how to use the bell, and waited for a child who would
need it." She continued, "And this is my role, I will give this to you.
Raise the staff."
Both Sakura and Miss Mikenzi rose their possesions, and brought them
together. The bell let out a deep DONG!
"Let's recite together." Miss Mikienzi said.
Sakura nodded.
"Key made by Clow."
"Key made by Clow"
"Accept this new moon power!"
"Accept this new moon power!"
Then Sakura said alone, "Reveal your new form before me! Release!"
Suddenly, the bell dissapeared from Miss Mikenzi's hand, and Sakura's wand
began to glow.
Sakura's eyes widened as the wand began to change, and the glowing slowly
grew dimmer.
Sakura's wand stopped glowing, revealing a new wand with a big star with a
circle and wings atop the shaft.
"You can use the cards with this staff, it's alright." Miss Mikenzi said.
"But I can't attack." Sakura replied.
"Not just attacks," Miss Mikenzi replied, anything will work."
Sakura took out the Windy Card, and tossed it out infront of her.
"Windy!" She called out.
Windy's form, a beutiful woman with huge, elegant wings and very long hair
flew out of the card with many lights flying begind her.
Windy wrapped around Yue, turning into a bright, white light, and forming a
translucent white sphere around him.
"It's not reflecting!" Li gasped.
Yue, now trapped in the sphere, slowly floated down to the ground, hanging
his head in defeat. Sakura rose her staff, and returned Windy.
Yue stood, and turned to Cerberus, enraged.
"What is being a Judge worth if in the end the Clow Master was already
decided?! The disaster wouldn't happen, he knew!" Yue spat.
"Clow knew both of our characters. It wasn't a coincidence." Cerberus said,
"I was sleeping in Sakura's library. And when she opened the book, you took
a human form near to her."
"It was all a part of Clow's plan?" Madison asked.
"Yeah." Li replied.
Sakura approached Yue, looking up at him.
"You loved Clow very much, didn't you?" Sakura asked.
Yue looked surprised.
"Yue," Sakura continued, I'm still just a kid. I don't know anyhting about
magic. I only oversleep and I hate Math, I can't do anything but-"
Sakura sighed.
"- I love the cards, and Kero too. I'm sure I'll come to love you, too."
Sakura said, "No.
"I already love you!"
Sakura continued, "I don't want to be your Master, I want to be good
friends."
"Close your eyes." Yue said.
"Hoe?"
"The Judgement ends." Yue replied, "I, the Judge, Yue, accept Sakura as my
new Mistress."
Suddenly, darkness enveloped the world around Sakura.
Who???
Please say hello to Cerberus and the Cards for me A voice 'spoke'.
A man appeared infront of Sakura. He was a nice looking man with long black
hair and tiny glasses on his nose.
That staff has receive a new power. Clow 'said', You have not the power
of the Sin or Moon, but that of the stars.
Clow continued, Even if the light is small now, a star creates it's owns
light
Clow then became more serious, and looked directly into Sakura's eyes.
From now on, 'I' may be trouble for you. But you will always be alright.
What?
Up, high on another building, the glowing figure looked down upon the group.
He saw the new Mistress of the Clow come out of the trance.
"Good job, Sakura." He said.
He watched as the group talked, and Yue returned to Julian.
The figure saw Sakura's brother intrude on them, and soo, the group went
their seperate ways."
"Now my role begins." The figure said.
"There's still one thing I don't understand." Madison said to Sakura, "Why
did Li turn red around Julian, dislike Kero, and mistrust Miss Mikenzi?"
"Li's magic uses the power of the Moon, so he had a strong reaction to
Yue." Miss Mikenzi explained, walking with them a considerable distance
behind Tori, "But Sakura's is more a balance between Sun and Moon poer."
Sakura stopped walking, looking up at the building she had spotted the
glowing figure on.
"Sakura?" Kero asked, now in his smaller form.
Miss Mikenzi looked up at the building, also sencing the presence that once
had been there.
"Sakura?" Madison asked.
Sakura blinked and shook her head.
"That was weird," Sakura saidm walking back to Madison,
"What were you saying?"
