Makoto
again! Last time we left you on a
cliffhanger, ne? Gomen. WE really didn't expect anything like this
to happen. First, Akiko had her "talk"
with Eriol and Tomoyo; she went up to her room, while the rest of us ate cookies. Soon, the snack was interrupted by the
Silent and the Lock crashing the party.
Us kids were shocked by Eriol's refusal to help. He would watch his only daughter, get
trapped inside her own room. Soon,
Meeko, Shinji, and I came through the window, only to have Akiko conquer the
cards on her own! We discovered it was
only a decoy by our enemy and now set out to conquer the new danger. I called up mom and dad, hoping to get some
help. Mom agreed, but was breathing
heavily. I wonder what they were doing?
Akiko
giggled as she recorded Meeko and Makoto in her newest fashion. It consisted of a blue/black top, with
matching pants. Meeko's was a shirt and
flared out more than Makoto's. Shinji
was dressed in his battle outfit.
Similar to Yue's outfit, but made smaller to fit Shinji. It was basically a white robe and pants,
baggy to allow Shinji to call forth his weeks, which he now had out.
Akiko's
admiration was abruptly cut off, by the sound of lightning and thunder. She squealed and jumped. "What card is it?"
Shinji took
out his staff. "It's the Storm
Card!" He said.
Next,
without warning, lightning came down on the four cardcaptors. Meeko called out Fly while Makoto called out
Jump, they move out of the way. Shinji
grabbed Akiko and flew out of harm's way.
Meeko
floated into the air, and soon Shinji joined her. "This doesn't seem right."
She commented.
Shinji
frowned. "What do you mean? It's a Clow Card right?" She nodded.
"So what feels so weird?"
Just then,
a blast of wind came from the dark cloud overhead. The wind blew the oceans nearby, and soon, giant waves were
crashing the shoreline, breaking fences, and nearby homes. Meeko narrowed her eyes. Something didn't seem right, but what was
it?
Makoto
watched the ultimate storm play its way across the sky, when he felt another
presence. He scanned the surrounding
area, and saw the shadow of a small person, probably a kid, standing on one of
large boulders along the beach.
He
unsheathed his sword. "Who are you?!"
His challenge alerted Shinji and Meeko to the danger, making them turn that
way. Now they had to split their
attention between the storm and this new enemy.
The person
said nothing, simply raised a hand, and the pull on the surf increased, making
a giant tidal wave. It formed out in
the sea, but then quickly made it's way towards shore. Meeko's eyes widened, as everyone else's
mouths dropped to the floor. "She's
going to flood the shore! All those
houses!"
Shinji took
out a card and struck it with his sword.
"Windy!" Windy dispelled and
blew against the wave, causing it to momentarily stop its run at the
shoreline. But then the wave
overpowered Windy and pushed past her, turning her back into a card, falling at
Shinji's feet.
Meeko
watched in horror as the wave approached the houses. Suddenly… "Windy!
Fiery!" A voice called out and a
wave of heated air blew past everyone, attacking the wave head on, not only
stopping it but also moving it back.
Makoto and
Shinji, along with Meeko, turned to see Sakura and Yue in the air, with Syaoran
running along the ground below them.
"Mom! Dad!" Meeko shouted.
"Dad!" Shinji called out, flying to his father's
side. "What are you doing here."
Yue did not
smile, or show any expression whatsoever, but simply replied. "We're here to do some advising."
Shinji
nodded and pointed to where the shadow person was, but was now gone.
"She's
gone!" Makoto said in astonishment.
"Now
completely! I got it all on tape!" Akiko said triumphantly.
Meeko flew
to her mother's side, as Fiery and Windy returned to their mistress. "Have you ever combined two cards like
that?"
Sakura
smirked. "Well, I captured Fiery using
Windy and Watery, but never Fiery and Windy."
Meeko nodded.
Thunder
struck again, and Syaoran narrowed his eyes.
"This is not natural."
Makoto
rolled his eyes. "Well, duh."
Syaoran
raised an eyebrow at his son. "Which
one is it?"
Makoto
straightened his back. "Storm." He said confidently.
Syaoran
shook his head. "Wrong."
Makoto
seemed shock, but then pointed to Shinji.
"That's what he said."
"Hey!" Shinji protested.
"What do
you feel?" Sakura asked Meeko.
Meeko
closed her eyes and focused on the storm.
"It's separated…uncontrolled."
Shinji
frowned and closed his eyes. It was
true. The storm, at one time had one
objective, now had more. "It's more
than one card."
Makoto's
mouth flew open, causing Syaoran to laugh.
"Expect the unexpected." He
recited.
Makoto
growled and tried to concentrate on the storm, as did his companions. Yue looked to his son. "Which ones is it?"
"Thunder." Shinji replied.
Meeko
frowned. "Wave."
"Rain." Makoto replied.
Akiko
frowned at her friends' difference in answers.
Sakura
nodded. "Actually, it's all three."
Syaoran
nodded and thought for a moment. That
shadow person had to have done something to have them combine like this.
Makoto
called out jump. "I'm going after
Rain!"
Meeko
nodded. "I got Wave!"
Shinji held
his staff in both hands. "I got
Thunder, then." Knowing full well it
was the hardest of the three.
The three
adults split up, each going with their child: Syaoran with Makoto, Sakura with
Meeko, and Yue with Shinji. Akiko
didn't like it, because then she'd only get some of each one on tape.
Meeko flew
in the air with Sakura by her side, towards the ocean. Meeko saw another wave forming and flew
faster. "How am I supposed to catch
it?!" She called out to her mother.
"Trap
it! Somehow get it away from its
element!" Sakura replied.
Meeko
looked around for something to use against Wave. But what do you use against water? Then she saw the rocks against the shore. That's it!
Meeko
turned sharply, catching her mother off guard.
"Meeko! Where are you going?"
Meeko didn't reply, but stopped and turned to Wave. "Is that all you got?" She taunted.
The Wave
stopped its path towards shore and began chasing the cardcaptor with
wings. Meeko smirked and flew off, The
Wave right on her trail. That's
right you heartless Clow Card…follow the "helpless" girl from the ocean. "Is that as fast as you can go?"
Wave got
made and sent up a waterspout under Meeko, sending her to the ground. "Windy!"
Sakura called. Windy came and
slowed Meeko's decent.
Meeko
smiled. "Thanks mom!"
Wave
recovered quickly and chased Meeko again, her drawing it away, back towards
land, and the others…I hope this works…
Makoto
used jump and brought out rain from the sky.
Rain chased him, a mean look on her face, aiming her heavy monsoon rain
on the fleeing cardcaptor. Makoto
jumped and dodged Rain's attacks.
"You can't
run! You have to fight!" Syaoran shouted, running after his son.
"How can I
stop it?" Makoto shouted back.
"Use its
own element against it!" The
experienced cardcaptors replied.
An idea
popped into Makoto's head. Hey sis!
What?
You comin'
my way?
I am
now!
Just
then Meeko, with Wave behind her, came around the bend. Makoto smiled. Perfect. Come over
this way!
He
saw Meeko turn and aim towards him.
Soon Wave overcame Rain, trapping it in a bubble, and Wave fell to the
ground, Rain fighting the water shield that held it in.
Shinji flew
aggressively towards Thunder, trying to change it into its visible form. Akiko on the ground wanted to help.
Yue flew
after his son. "You have to blast it
with a strong attack!"
Shinji dodged
another blast. What's strong enough
to take out Thunder? Then it hit
him. Shinji took out his card. "Sword!"
His staff
turned into a sword, and Shinji faced Thunder with renewed confidence. Thunder struck again, this time, Shinji was
ready. With inhuman reflexes he sliced
his sword, right when Thunder's blast passed him.
Thunder
went hurtling to the ground, smacking Wave and Rain both to the ground. Shinji quickly dove to the ground, his staff
turned back to normal. He saw Meeko was
already ready.
He nodded,
and Meeko nodded back. Instead of
holding his staff at the end, Shinji held it in the middle and threw it down at
the same time Meeko did hers.
"Wave! Return to the shape you were meant to
be!" Meeko cried.
"To thy
true form! Rain and Thunder!" Rain and Thunder were pulled into opposite
sides of Shinji's staff. He had sealed
them both at the same time, but not without a price. He started to collapse, but felt someone catch him.
Meeko
cradled Shinji in her arms, her new card in her hand. Rain floated to Makoto, and Thunder lay on Shinji's chest. Shinji opened his eyes and smiled, though
blushing furiously at the closeness of his crush. "A…Arigat…gatou, M…Meek…ko."
Meeko
giggled at his shyness. "Anytime."
Just then,
Akiko, and the adults came by. "Great
job you kids." Syaoran said, proud of
the way his children had worked together as a team.
"You were
wonderful!" Sakura praised.
"But how
were they able to merge like that?" Yue
asked.
Makoto
didn't know the answer, but his father did.
"It had to have been that shadow.
They were more organized when it was here. Why else would they have been so easy to catch when it left?"
Makoto felt
his mouth open. "Easy? You call that easy?"
Syaoran
smiled. "Compared to some…"
"Yes." Sakura replied, coming up and holding her
husbands hand.
Yue came up
and lifted Shinji up. "We must be
going." With that he flew off.
Meeko felt
hurt with Shinji leaving like that, but knew it wasn't his fault.
Syaoran
broke away from Sakura's hand. "I'll
take Akiko home."
Sakura
nodded and lifted Makoto up into her arms.
"Let's go home."
Meeko
smiled and flew into the air, Sakura with Makoto, by her side. Meeko was happy, accomplishing what they
had. They were a team, and with that
knowledge and skill, catching the rest of the cards would be easy.
Behind,
where the battle had been waged, the shadow stood there, and watched sadly as
the cardcaptors left. Red eyes
reflected the moonlight, which now hung full and bright in the sky. You don't know what you're facing…no idea
at all…
