Going In Almost Completely Blind

A few days after Li, Sakura and I had captured the Time Card, Sakura and I woke up one morning, and as usual, we both got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast.

It was when Sakura and I had made it downstairs that Tori began to tease me and Sakura about us being put in a cage when we went to the zoo. "Very funny Tori" I said sarcastically in response. "Or maybe, you're the King Kong of Penguin Park" Tori teased. "What do you mean?" Sakura asked.

It was then that Tori pointed to the TV, which was showing the slide at Penguin Park, it was flipped upside down. The slide was right near the zoo that Sakura and I were going to go to for today's school field trip. "This is terrible, who would do that?" Sakura asked/said to no one in particular.

A few minutes later, after Sakura and I had eaten our breakfast, and we had both gotten our picnic lunches for the field trip, Sakura and I then strapped on our skates, put on our protective padding, and a few seconds later, we took off down the street towards Penguin Park.

It was while Sakura and I were both rollerblading towards Penguin Park that Julian called out to us, and after Julian caught up with me and Sakura, we decided to go check out the penguin slide on our way to the zoo.

It was when we got to the park that there was a lot of people crowded around the overturned slide, and after passing by it, Julian said his good byes and continued on his way to his school, while Sakura and I went on our way to the zoo.

A little later, at the entrance to the zoo, and after the teacher handed a camera to each group and finished explaining what we would be doing, Nikki, Madison, Chelsea, Rita, Sakura and I, went in through the entrance to take some pictures of the animals.

It was while we were walking through the zoo and talking about what happened with the penguin slide last night that Nikki suggested that it might've been a ghost that did it. "Ghosts aren't real" I said in response. But unfortunately, Sakura didn't seem to agree with me, and she made up an excuse to get away from the group. I then went after her to go and see if she was alright.

Meanwhile, in another part of the zoo, Li was at the sloth cage, he was trying to take a picture of the sloth because one of the students in his group said it would be interesting to do. However, Li wasn't so happy when he tried to wait for the sloth to move, or do something other then hang from the tree branch it was hanging from.

A little later, at the elephant exhibit with me, Sakura, Rita, Madison, Chelsea, and Nikki. We were just talking about what we should say about the elephants in our report when Madison, Sakura and I heard a loud noise that sounded like something dropped. Then, Sakura and I sensed something, but neither of us could sense where it was. "Do u think it's a clow card?" Madison whispered/asked me. "I'm not quite sure" I said in response. "Why don't you ask Kero?" Madison asked me and Sakura. "Neither of us brought him" Sakura said in response.

It was then that Sakura and I heard a noise from my school backpack, I then put my backpack down and opened it, and sure enough, Kero popped out, I thought that one of the other students would see him, but thankfully, Sakura was able to make up an excuse so they wouldn't get suspicious. I then told Rita, Chelsea, and Nikki that Madison, Sakura and I would meet them for lunch.

It was when Rita, Chelsea, and Nikki were gone that Madison, Sakura and I ran as fast as we could to a row of bushes to hide behind so that no one would see us talking to Kero. "Kero, Sakura and I are really glad that you're here, I think there's a clow card here" I said in a serious tone of voice. "What makes you think it's a clow card?" Kero asked.

It was then that the same loud noise from before sounded once again. "Was that the noise you two were talking about?" Kero asked me and Sakura.

It was then that a Penguin jumped out from the bushes and ran right by me and Sakura, which scared both of us out of our wits. "I guess the Penguin cage must have broken open" Madison said. "Penguins don't just escape on there own, this is definitely the work of a clow card" Kero said in a serious tone of voice.

It was then that the noise sounded again. Kero looked up and saw that one of the animal cages had been completely destroyed. Without having to think twice, Madison, Kero, Sakura and I ran out from behind the bushes and off towards the destroyed cage.

Meanwhile, back at the sloth cage, Li suddenly sensed the exact same thing as Sakura and I, and without having to think twice or hesitate, Li took off in the direction of where the loud noise was coming from.

It was while Madison, Kero, Sakura and I were running towards where the noise came from that Sakura and I noticed that everyone had run away from where the noise came from because they all got scared and panicked. "At least we won't have to worry about anyone being around when you both use your magic" Kero said to me and Sakura. "I agree with that completely" Sakura said to Kero in response. "I think the noise came from over there, right Kero?" I asked. "You know, you getting pretty good at this Zachary" Kero said. And with that, Madison, Kero, Sakura and I continued running towards the loud noise's source, that is, until a herd of Zebras ran by right in front of us. "Which clow card do you think this is Kero?" Sakura asked. "A clow card that destroys cages?" Madison asked/said.

It was then that a huge hole appeared in the ground right in front of us. "That is one quick clow card" Kero said. "But, I didn't see anything" Madison said in a confused tone of voice. A second later, a loud noise was heard and another hole was seen not too far from another one of the animal cages that was near us. Meanwhile, back at the elephant exhibit, many huge holes were forming, and each that appeared was closer to the elephants then the last.

It was then that one of the elephants was lifted off the ground and was lifted several feet in the air. "It's got to be one of the stronger cards that's for sure" Kero said to no one in particular.

It was then that Sakura and I pulled out our respective keys, "Key of clow, power of magic, power of light, surrender the wand, the force ignite, Release!" Sakura and I chanted in unison. With our respective staffs now in hand, I pulled out the Windy card, and Sakura and I raised our respective staffs, "Windy, Release and Dispell!" Sakura and I chanted as we hit the Windy card at the same time with the tips of our respective staffs, and not one second later, the Windy card spirit appeared, and about a few seconds after that, the falling elephant was caught by the Windy card spirit before it hit the ground. "That was a little too close for comfort" I said. "I can't agree any less then that" Sakura said in response.

It was then that Kero figured out which clow card it was that was causing this. "Of course, it's the Power card" Kero said. "Okay, both of you need to overpower it, I know you both can do it" Kero said to me and Sakura.

It was then that the invisible Power card spirit once again began to move towards the elephant, and it once again began to lift the elephant into the air, that is, until Sakura and I decided that enough was enough. "Alright Power card, you've shown off your strength, now put it too the test, I dare you to show yourself" I said in a very serious tone of voice. "I know Zachary and Sakura are getting stronger, but…" Madison began "You see the Power card has a lot of pride Madison, and it likes to show off" Kero said. "That's Enough!" Sakura yelled at the invisible Power card, which dropped the elephant just as it was going to lift it again.

It was then that the invisible Power card began creating more holes in the ground, only now, the holes were rapidly approaching me and Sakura. Without having to think twice, I pulled out the Jump card, "Jump!" Sakura and I chanted in unison as we hit the Jump card at the same time with the tips of our respective staffs. About a second after Sakura and I hit the Jump card with our respective staffs that wings appeared on both of our shoes, and without hesitation, we jumped up and out of the way of the approaching holes. A few seconds after Sakura and I had just barely dodged the invisible Power card that it destroyed a nearby tree, which Madison and Kero were forced to run away from. "I think you both succeeded in getting it's attention" Kero said.

It was then that the invisible Power card continued to chase after us, making more holes in the ground as it approached us. "Listen Zachary, listen Sakura, both of you are going to have to name a contest, it's the only way for the Power card to show itself" Kero said. After about a second of thinking, both me and Sakura came to a choice together, "tug of war" Sakura said.

It was then that the holes stopped appearing, and a little figure no smaller then a 7 year old girl appeared from out of nowhere, she was dressed in an all pink outfit that resembled one of the outfits that Sakura might've worn. "That's the Power card's true form?" Sakura asked in a confused tone of voice. "Now that is what I call a battle outfit with pizazz" Madison said. "Don't expect her to act as harmless as she looks" Kero warned me and Sakura.

It was about a minute later that the Power card spirit, Sakura and I were ready to begin the tug of war. Sakura and I were on one side, while the Power card spirit was on the other side. About a second after that, the tug of war started. Sakura and I were having a lot of trouble trying to keep our footing, while the Power card spirit was winning by a lot. Meanwhile, in one of the trees near where Sakura and I were trying our best to win the tug of war, Li pulled out the Time card and raised his sword above it "Time card, freeze the scene!" Li chanted as he hit the Time card with the tip of his sword. About a second later, the entire scene and everyone that was either watching or participating in the tug of war was frozen in place.

It was then that Li jumped down from his hiding place, went over to the Power card spirit and took the rope out of her hands. Li then went back up to the top of the same tree that he was hiding in, pulled out the Time card again and said "Time card unfreeze the scene!" Li chanted as he once again hit the Time card with the tip of his sword. About a second after the scene unfroze that the Power card spirit fell to the ground while Sakura and I congratulated one another for a job well done.

It was then that Sakura and I went over to the Power card spirit and raised our respective staffs "Power card, we command you to return to your power confined, Power card!" Sakura and I chanted in unison. About a second later, the Power card was captured. "Alright, I knew you both could do it if you didn't give up." Kero cheered. "Well, what can I say, we work well as a team" I said. Meanwhile back up in the tree where Li was hiding, he was looking on as Kero, Madison, Sakura and I went on our way back to the zoo entrance with another new captured clow card. "Sakura and Zachary may have won this time, but next time they won't be so successful, the clow cards only get tougher to capture from here" Li said with a smirk.
