Going In Almost Completely Blind

About a few days after Sakura and I had captured the Power Card at the zoo, we were at Tori and Julian's high school for the culture festival, and as you could probably guess, Sakura and I were very excited. "Yay, we're here!" Sakura said as we entered into the front courtyard where all of the tents were set up for the festival. "Did you both remember to bring your tickets?" Madison asked us while she held on to her video camera. "Yea, I got mine in my pocket right here," I said in response as I reached in and took out my ticket that was needed for the festival.

It was then that Sakura noticed that Madison was taping both of us with her video camera. "What are you doing?" Sakura asked Madison in a shocked tone of voice. "I brought my video camera with me in case a clow card shows up today, you never know where we might find one," Madison said while both Sakura and I sweatdropped in response.

A little later, backstage in the theater of the high school's auditorium, everyone was getting ready for the play that was going to be starting soon, and Tori was one of the lead roles.

Meanwhile, somewhere else in the building, Madison, Sakura and I were walking up a flight of stairs, and all three of us were eating some snacks. "This is a great festival, too bad Kero couldn't come with us" I said. "Oh no, we were suppose to bring back a treat for him!" Sakura said in a shocked tone of voice. And with that, Madison, Sakura and I raced up the stairs to go and find a treat to take back home for Kero.

It was when we made it to the top of the stairs and began looking around that we noticed Julian standing near an open doorway, he was wearing a kimono. "Hi guys," Julian said cheerfully. "Hey Julian," Sakura said in response.

It was when Julian, Madison, Sakura and I entered through the open doorway that Julian asked what we wanted. Sakura ended up getting some lemonade, I just asked for a glass of water, and Madison asked for one of each of the two items that Julian had mentioned.

It was after Madison, Sakura and I had received our refreshments and snacks and had begun to enjoy them that Sakura and I sensed something strange.

It was then that Madison noticed the expressions on my face and Sakura's face. "Is there something wrong?" Madison asked us in a concerned tone of voice. "I'm getting a strange feeling," I said in response and in a serious tone of voice.

It was not until a certain chestnut color haired kid, who was glaring at me and Sakura a few feet away from us jumped up in the air, did a somersault, landed on the ground a few feet in front of me and Sakura, and then stopped and glared at both of us only inches from our faces. This kid was none other then Li.

It was not until Julian offered Li a glass of water that he finally stopped glaring at me and Sakura. A few seconds after that, Julian offered to take Madison, Li, Sakura and I on a tour of the school. "Sounds great," Li, Sakura and I said in unison. Unfortunately, right after that had happened, Li glared at me and Sakura, while Sakura and I glared back at Li.

A little bit later, after Li, Madison, Sakura and I had finished eating our snacks, we were outside in the courtyard where the tents were, when Sakura and I wanted to get a stuffed animal. The coach of the high school's basketball team said that we could have them if we score a basket against his five man team. Julian ended up accepting to play in order to win the stuffed animals, and in the end, he easily scored the basket against the team. The coach offered Julian to be on his team, Julian said that he would think about it. Julian then told Madison, Li, Sakura and I that it was about time for us to get to the auditorium to see Tori perform in the play. "I wonder which role he'll be starring as" I wondered out loud to myself. "Oh don't worry about that, he'll be starring in one of the lead roles, and it'll be a performance that you'll never forget" Julian said in response.

It was when all of us went into the auditorium that some weird green colored mist had begun to rise and waft around one of the building's. Meanwhile, inside the auditorium, everyone was currently listening to a high school student playing a song on the piano that was on the stage.

It was after the song had ended and the crowd stopped applauding that the student left and went backstage. The announcer then said that the play that Tori would be starring in would be the next to perform, the announcer also said that the play was titled "Cinderella". "Maybe he's playing as one of the rats" Li said to Madison, Sakura and I. A few seconds later, the lights darkened, the curtain rose, and the play started.

It was a little bit later outside the auditorium, towards the middle of the play, that the weird green mist began to pour into the building through the vents. About a few minutes after that, when the balcony scene of the play that was being acted out by Tori and another student who was playing the prince was when me, Sakura and Li sensed something very strange. Madison soon noticed this and asked Li, Sakura and me if we were sensing anything. "I'm not sure," I said response.

It was then that Li, Sakura and I noticed a weird green mist swirling and drifting around one of the column supports of the balcony. About half a second later, the column began to crack, and then began to fall apart.

It was when the student who was playing the prince was going to finish her line that was to tell Tori's character that she loved him that the part of the balcony that they were both standing on began to fall out from under them, but thankfully, Tori was able to catch the students hand before she fell and hit the stage.

It was then that the weird green mist drifted around one of the cables that was holding up the stages curtain, and about a half second later, the cable snapped and the curtain went down.

It was then that Sakura and I realized exactly what was going on, "It's got to be a clow card" Sakura said in a serious tone of voice. "We will have to go where no one can see us if we are going to use our magic" Li said as Sakura and I began quickly looking around for a place to use our staffs without being seen.

It was then that Sakura and I noticed a window up one floor, which we could go into in order for us to use our magic. And with that, Madison, Li, Sakura and me ran out of the auditorium and up a flight of stairs towards the room where we would be able to use our magic.

It was while we were running upstairs to the room that I decided to give Kero a call to see if he knew which clow card had caused the balcony to fall apart. I then pulled out my blue cell phone and called Kero.

It was after I had explained to Kero what had just occurred that he immediately knew which clow card it was "It's definitely the Mist card, it is able to destroy or erode anything it comes into contact with, both you and Sakura are going to have to act fast if you are going to save Tori and the student in time". "Thanks Kero, I'll tell Sakura what you just told me" and with that I hung up.

It was then that I explained to Sakura which clow card it was. "Well, I guess we'd better hurry, we don't have much time before that balcony gives way and collapses" Sakura said in a somewhat serious and shocked tone of voice. And with that, Sakura and I pulled out our respective keys. "Oh key of clow, power of magic, power of light, surrender the wand, the force ignite, Release!" Sakura and I chanted in unison. And when we had our respective staffs in our hands, I pulled out the Shadow card, and then Sakura and I raised our respective staffs "Shadow card, round up Mist inside yourself, Shadow, Release and Dispel!" Sakura and I chanted in unison as we tapped the Shadow card with the tips of our respective staffs. About a second later, the Shadow card spirit appeared and began absorbing the Mist card, about a second after that, the Mist card was trapped by the Shadow card.

It was then that Sakura and I raised our respective staffs once again "Mist card, we command you to return to your power confined, Mist card!" Sakura and I chanted in unison as we swung our respective staffs down at the same time. About half a second later, the Mist card was captured.

It was then that the balcony gave way, but thankfully, Li was able to use his wind spell to catch Tori and the student before they hit the ground.

A little later, back in the front courtyard of the school, Madison was somewhat unhappy that not only did her video camera's recording time run out before the play started, but she was unable to film Sakura and me capturing the Mist card.

It was then that Sakura thanked Li for helping me and her capture the Mist card, and as usual, all Li did was give an unnecessary response. "Look Li, Sakura just wanted to say thanks for helping with the capture, you didn't need to make that unnecessary sarcastic comment" I said in a stern and serious tone of voice.

It was a little later, when all of us went to the bonfire that was taking place in front of the school was when Sakura and I saw Tori dancing with the student who was the prince in the play.

It was when Tori went over to us to see how we were that Sakura asked Tori why he didn't tell her that he was in the play. Tori then looked at Julian and asked him if he had told her.

It was then that Julian offered Sakura to dance with him around the bonfire, and Sakura happily accepted. I then turned my attention back to Li and told him to lighten up and ease off on making the sarcastic remarks towards me and Sakura, and of course, Li didn't answer. "Well, at least he doesn't have more clow cards then me and Sakura" I said to myself. "Zachary thinks he and Sakura can capture more clow cards then me, well, I guess we'll just have to see then won't we, because as far as I know, the clow cards will only get much tougher to capture from here on in" Li said to himself as he smirked.
