Captor 3

Besieged… Getsuyoubi

(The same thing…. Repeated time after time…)

(How many people have been involved in this Clow card business?)

(This time… it happened right in front of me… and I couldn't do anything…)

(Tomoyo… is gone…)

(From now on… I won't be put in any more pretty costumes…)

(From now on, I won't hear that beautiful singing voice…)

(From now on, there won't be a energetic girl, holding a camera saying: "You are good!! Sakura chan!")

(It's me… how useless I was… to let you…)

(It's too late… but I want to say…)

"I am sorry!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sakura." Touya saw how Sakura walked through the front door, lifeless. "are you still thinking about that Li Syaoran kid? I tell you what, ignore that guy! If he ignores you, why should you even think of him? Right?"

"No…" Sakura said, sounding like she is about to cry.

"What is `no'?" asked Touya.

"Tomoyo chan… she is…"

Sakura's tears dropped out of her eyes. But the way she want to hold back her grief look even sadder.

"What happened to Tomoyo?" Touya asked, knowing this won't be good news.

"Tomoyo… she… for me…" the more she said, the more hysterical she got.

"Sakura… she didn't…"

"Tomoyo chan is dead! She died to save me!" Sakura cried, fiercely, for the second time in the day.

"Sakura…" Touya don't know what to say to comfort her now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Don't be sad now, Tomoyo chan sacrificed herself for you. She did it out of her own free will."

"Kero chan, I know that…"

About Tomoyo's death, Sakura had run out of tears.

"I am sad because she died. But there is a more important job you have to complete - To collect the craze driven Sakura cards! If you continue on like this, how can you capture them? They would cause harm to many more people!" Kero said seriously, (for once…).

"But…"

"No more BUTs now! I think Tomoyo want to see you capture these crazy cards one by one! You want to disappoint her?"

Silence.

"No!" Sakura stood up, "Tomoyo chan died for me, I must do something to pay her back… I can't let her see me like this!" Sakura raised the Star wand. "Tomoyo chan… I, Sakura Kinomoto… swear upon this Staff, I shall make all the craze driven cards back to themselves!"

"That's the spirit!" Kero clapped cheerfully, but at the same time they both felt it, the presence of magic.

"This is… Sakura card?"

"What a strong magical force!!" Kero flew to the window and looked outside. "Wa!!!!!"

"What? What is it?"

"The Time! It has surrounded the whole of Tokyo in its power field!"

"What?" Sakura leaned on the window and looked outside. "Yellowish world… Tokyo as a whole has been controlled by The Time…"

"Oh my god, The Time's power is out of my imagination!" Kero broke out in cold sweat, "It could control a sector of thirty two kilometers… not funny to be against that old guy… Sakura… Where are you going!?"

"The Time card is a bit out of it there. It's bad if anyone else notice it's presence. I've got to seal it!" Sakura said as she put on her jacket.

"But it's too powerful, you got no chance against it with only The Rain!"

"I got to try!" said Sakura, very determined. "For Tomoyo chan, and for this world…"

"Sakura!!" Kero said very uneasily.

"And, The Time is the only card that is in action right now, what am I going to do if I don't capture it?"

"Sakura…I think you better take that back…" Keo said in a very shaky voice.

"What is it?"

"Look… outside…!!" said Kero, shaking, pointing out the window.

"Something unusual? I didn't see anything…" she opened the window and poked her head out.

At that instant, a blue lightening struck right on Sakura's head.

"Sakura!"

Kero's warning was too late, the lightening struck her hard in the head. She screamed and fell to the floor.

"Oi, Sakura, you okay?" Kero flew to Sakura, patting her face.

The situation gave an obvious hint, the attacker is The Thunder! The Thunder released lightening like crazy, and surrounded the house.

(No… we are stuck…) Kero thought (But if it is ME… then maybe… eh? That is… Oh my god! Big trouble!"

The Storm.

The crazy storm card created powerful wall of storm, surrounding further out of the thundering beast. A wall of thunder and a wall of storm, that even after he turn into Cerberus, could break out of…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eight at night, the whole area of Tokyo has been sealed off by a wall of magic force.

The population and the administration cabinet are trapped within.

Under the influence of The Time, time inside this sphere has been stopped, so no-one actually contacted the outer places.

Suddenly lost contact with the capital, Japan is in a mess.

Emergency workers try to break in, there was no use.

The `wall' surrounding Tokyo was hard to break.

On top of Tokyo tower, a girl stood there, looking down at the motionless cars and people.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eleven o'clock at night, Sakura has been knocked out for six hours now. She has high fever and is lying in bed, broke out in cold sweat, face as pale as paper, and seems to be in pain.

"Something we can do?" said Kero under his breath, watching Sakura carefully.

"How's Sakura? Any better?" Touya asked as he came in with a tray of food in his hands, The Time didn't affect him at all.

"Not any better…" said Kero, as if he is going to cry any second. "Only if we can get some medicine…"

"But this situation outside, it's impossible to get out!" Touya said as he pushed aside the curtains, looked at the screaming walls of thunder and storm.

"What can we do then…?" asked Kero wearily.

"I can't!" Touya punched the wall, "I can't let her go on like this… I need to help her…"

"How will you do it?"

"I will just run out of them… if I can get past them, I can get some medicine and try to contact other people…" Touya made the decision, and then started running out.

"No!!" Kero pulled at Touya's clothes, "You might die! Let me go!"

"Let go!" Touya grabbed Kero roughly and threw him off. "You take care of Sakura, let me do this!"

When he finished, he ran outside, shutting the main door behind him.

(Good luck…) thought Kero.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Touya got outside, and the door slammed shut behind him, he looked at the thunder and lightening in front of him.

"Can I get past it?"

"This Wall of thunder is twenty five meters thick… in the middle there are three layers… each layer strikes every five seconds… and each strike last for three seconds… after the wall of thunder… there is a wall of storm… that is twenty meters thick…"

"If I am quick enough, maybe I can get past… when the wind slows…"

Touya waited. After a few minutes, the wind seems to die down a little.

"Now!"

Touya took a deep breath and ran, snatched the five seconds while there is no thunder. He used less than three seconds to get through the thunder, and dived head into the twister The Storm has made.

"WA!!!!!" Touya had difficulty moving forwards, and he struggled to keep his balance.

The Storm now seems like F3 tornado. Touya continued moving forwards on his will to save his sister, and finally got out of the wall of The Storm has created. He didn't take any break, and rushed to the nearest twenty four hour chemists.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Touya pushed the door of the chemists open, "Hello! Shop keeper? Give me a…"

The shop keeper didn't move a muscle.

"Er…. Hello?"

Touya moved towards the shopkeeper in doubt, and shook the shop keeper, still didn't budge.

He took and glance around the shop, there are people alright, although none of them are moving.

"Oh… `The Time's work'." Touya finally understood, "Well, looks like I have to find it myself…"

He started going through the cabinets. Suddenly, someone walked out of the shadows.

"Who are you!?" Touya half shouted, and found the person to be… Sakura?
