Okay, so not a lot of time had passed, since me and Sakura, had captured and sealed the Sand Card back at our schools grounds. And though neither of us knew it yet, that we were actually very close to collecting the rest of the remaining Clow Cards. But with regard to what was still to come for us with regard to that. This, would not wind up coming into play for at least two more weeks into the future. But as for the current moment, me, Sakura, Li, as well as the rest of our schools class, were currently in the schools auditorium. More specifically, we were all currently backstage. And the reason for this, was that we were all currently waiting for the signal to be given. in order for the play to start.
But for the moment, we were all currently rehearsing our respective lines for the play that we were due to perform.
And as for our lines, this was soon going to become the least of any of our problems
But, getting back to the current situation back in the present. And with the signal then being given for the play to start. I then took my position on stage, alongside several more of our classmates. And little did I know, that this play, was soon going to be nightmare for me and Sakura.
And now, fast forwarding to a little bit later in the play. And the play was now at the scene, where Li, who was playing the princess, and Sakura, who was playing the prince, were due to reach the climax of the play. But then, all of the sudden, a wave of what I could only describe to be darkness, then descended over the stage, and the rest of the auditorium. But strangely, I was still able to see both Sakura and Li standing not that far in front of me. Since I was currently off to one side of the stage where the curtains were.
But then...
"What's going on?" Sakura then proceeded to say to Li. And yet at the moment, Sakura didn't know that I was still visible to both her and Li.
But as for Li? Well about that...
"You and Zachary need to hurry, or none of us will be able to come back!" Li then proceeded to call out to Sakura. But then, before either me or Sakura could ask what Li meant by this statement of his. The darkness then proceeded to wash over him, and thus caused him to disappear as well.
But for some reason, me and Sakura were the only ones, who hadn't been swallowed up by the darkness. And so, with this clearly on my mind...
"Sakura! We need to go and find Madison!" I proceeded to shout out to Sakura. As I proceeded to run over to her, and then proceeded to help her up with one of my hands.
And just after I had said my statement, me and Sakura then proceeded to run towards the direction of the sound booth at the back of what we assumed was still the auditorium.
But, after at least a minute of the both of us proceeding to continuously run. We still hadn't seen anything, or anyone. And it was only once I had temporarily stopped running, that I then realized what this most likely was. And so, with this in mind...
"Sakura wait! This has to be a Clow Card! Hold on for a second!" I proceeded to call out to Sakura. Who then proceeded to stop running, and then proceeded to turn her attention towards me.
"That is probably what this is Zachary, but which one do you suppose it is?" Sakura then proceeded to ask back to me in response.
And as for my response back...
"Well, it clearly isn't the Night Card. So, by process of elimination, then I would say that it is more then likely the Dark Card," I proceeded to say. Which as a way for my inferred guess to be confirmed to be correct. My stating of the Clow Card in question being the Dark Card. Had then caused the darkness that was still surrounding me and Sakura, to then proceed to briefly warp and ripple for a few brief moments.
But yet, this didn't dispel the darkness. But what was about to happen next, would. And with regard to that...
"But, since the darkness didn't disperse, it must be another Clow Card. The only question is, which other Clow Card is involved in this particular situation. Now let me think," I then proceeded to say out loud. Which just as I had proceeded to bring one of my hands towards the bottom of my chin. I then noticed something significant. And it was that my hand, as well as the rest of my body, seemed to be glowing a bit lighter then it usually did.
And, once I looked over briefly at Sakura, I then realized that she too, was also glowing a bit lighter then she usually did. And so, with this thought in mind...
"Sakura, I need you to look at your hand. Now what do you see?" I then proceeded to call out to Sakura with. And, once Sakura had raised one of her hands towards her face, and into her field of vision. She then realized exactly what I had been just talking about.
And then...
"So then, from the Darkness, comes the Light? So then, it must be the Light Card!" Sakura proceeded to call out. Having now realized the identity of the other Clow Card that was also behind this occurrence.
And sure enough, the area around me and Sakura then proceeded to light up almost instantly. And, with the appearance of a bright ball of light proceeding to exit from each of our respective bodies. These two bright balls of light, then proceeded to merge with each other. Which wound up with a figure appearing in a brief flash of bright light.
And interestingly...
"Yes Sakura and Zachary. I have been within both of your hearts since the seal on the Clow Book was broken," the now visible form of the Light Card spirit wound up saying to both me and Sakura.
But strangely, a wave of what appeared to be dark energy, then proceeded to materialize next to the Light Card spirit. Which just so happened, to be the Dark Card spirit.
And then...
"Now Sakura and Zachary, seal us both," both the Light and Dark Card spirits proceeded to say to me and Sakura.
As me and Sakura, then proceeded to take both of our respective Clow Keys. And this was then followed, by me and Sakura, then proceeding to call upon our respective Clow staffs. "Key of Clow, power of magic, power of light, surrender the wand, the force ignite, release!" Me and Sakura both proceeded to then chant together in unison. Which once we had quickly brought both of our respective arms upwards, and then proceeded to throw both of our arms downward. This was then quickly followed about a split second or two later, by the all too familiar sensation, of the wind proceeding to pick up, and then blow through me and Sakura's hair.
And, like all of the other times, both of our respective Clow keys then proceeded to quickly expand into our respective Clow staffs. Which we proceeded to quickly grab, with a quick one handed, and overhanded downward grasp. Which was then quickly followed by us both then proceeding to twirl our respective Clow staffs, and then strike our respective battle ready posses. And it was then, that me and Sakura proceeded to ready ourselves to seal the Light and Dark Card spirits.
And it was then, that me and Sakura then proceeded to raise our respective Clow staffs. "Light and Dark Cards, we command you to return to your power confined, Light and Dark!" Me and Sakura proceeded to chant together in unison. As we both also proceeded to swing our respective Clow staffs down, at exactly the same time.
And then, with the all too familiar appearance of the light blue aura glowing Clow Card halves then suddenly materializing on the tips of our respective Clow staffs. And after the Light and Dark Card spirits had been broken down, and were then sucked into our respective Clow Card halves. To which both of the Clow Card halves had then combined together in order to form a complete and whole Clow Card, both the Light and Dark Card spirits were captured and sealed.
However, just before both the Light and Dark Card spirits had disappeared and became Clow Cards once more, each one of them then decided to tell us both one more thing. "Believe in yourselves, you're both the chosen ones!" "The Final Judgment will come from Yue!" And though neither of us knew it at that current moment, things were about to soon get that much more interesting for the both of us. And unfortunately, I would soon be faced with a choice, that depending on the outcome, would have an everlasting effect on the events that would follow. But more on that at a much later date.
