Saturday May 29, 2004

School’s almost out! ^_^ That’s good. I hope to finish this story and many more over the summer. Heck, I might update 3 times a week if I have no writers block. ^_^ Well, enjoy!

“Well, what card do you guys think is next?” Sakura asked as she sat down to eat. Brock dished up some of his stew and set it down in front of her.

“Well, the ones that are left are Metal, Spring, Fall, Winter, Cold, Smoke, Rock, and World. Only 8 left.” Kero said as he finished his stew.

“I just want to go home. I miss my bed. Camping out in tents does not work for me every night.” Madison sighed. Ash then came out of his tent, yawning.

“Morning everyone.” He said.

“Morning Ash. Why don’t you grab something to eat?” Brock said. Just then, a small piece of metal fell out of the tree above them and conked Brock on the head.

“What is that doing out here?” Li asked. Sakura took it and examined it.

“Oh relax Li. It’s just a piece of metal. Nothing to get freaked out about.” Sakura said. Just then, a shivering vibe went straight through her and she sat bolt upright. Li did as well but Misty had fallen back asleep.

“Do you sense it?” Yue asked looking around. Sakura nodded.

“There’s a Clow Card around here. Which one do you think it is?” Li asked.

“I don’t know but I think we’re going to find out soon.” Sakura said. They stood absolutely silent, looking around for some sign. They couldn’t hear anything since the wind had started to blow through the leaves again.

“Hold on. Listen.” Madison said. In the distance, they could hear things whirling through the air at high speeds. Just then, a dangerously sharp metal spike slammed just centimeters away from Sakura’s foot. She yelped and leapt back.

“It’s the Metal Card!” Ash shouted. They heard a frantic noise behind them and say Pikachu dodging countless spikes.

“Hold on Pikachu!” Ash yelled. He dodged through the spikes and grabbed Pikachu just seconds before a gigantic spike plowed into the ground where Pikachu had been. Still, Misty slept on somehow.

“This is enough!” Sakura shouted as another spike went whizzing past her. “I’m using the Shield Card!” She shouted. The others nodded as she pulled out the card and the key.

“Oh key of my star. With powers burning bright. Reveal the staff and shine your light! Star Card!” She shouted. A gigantic bubble-like protector surrounded them instantly and made the spikes bounce off like nothing.

“Now what do we do?” Li shouted over the thudding.

“We have to think fast. The Shield Card can’t last for a long time. Would Tornado work?” Sakura asked.

“ARE YOU NUTS????????” Kero shouted.

“What do you mean Kero?” Ash asked as Pikachu hopped up on his shoulder.

“A Tornado accelerates speed of light objects! You would make those spikes even more deadly!” He said. Just then, the shield wore off and the spikes continued their assault.

“JUMP!” Sakura shouted. She jumped out of reach just in time.

“What are you doing??????!!!!” Brock yelled.

“I’m getting the spikes away from you. They’re trying to get me!” Sakura shouted as she bounced around and the metal spikes followed.

“Sakura! Try using the Wood Card!” Madison and Ash yelled.

“How would that stop it?” Brock asked.

“It would trap the spikes in the wood! That’s a brilliant idea!” Sakura said. “Wood! Come to my aid. Form vines to trap Metal! Wood!” She shouted. Thick branches expelled from the card and enclosed Sakura. The metal spikes slammed into the wood and moved no further.

“Now Sakura! Capture it!” Yue said.

“Right. Metal Card! Return to your power confined! Metal Card!” She yelled. A great wind swept up and pulled the spikes out of the wood. The metal spikes did an abrupt face and zoomed toward the card. Finally another capture over. Sakura sighed and walked back to the others.

“Great capture Sakura! Madison said.

“Yeah! You were great!” Ash added. Just then they heard yawning behind them and turned around. Misty had finally woken up.

“Hello. What did I miss?” She asked. The others looked at each other and laughed, leaving Misty very confused.
