INTERLUDE...
Back in Japan, on the homeworld of Sakura Kinomoto, her mirrored
double she created to cover for her while visiting Arcademan on his
world was having afternoon tea with Tomoyo, her best friend and Kero,
the guardian of the Clow Cards.
"Sigh! I can't believe Sakura took off without telling me, Kero."
said a dejected Tomoyo. "Not that I'm worried about her but I
could've made her a wonderful costume and sent her off." Sakura's
ever-growing and different costumes are courtesy of her friend, who
also films her battles and keeps a personal record of the
Cardcaptor's exploits.
"At least her father and her brother Touya are out of town for the
week so they won't find out what she's up to." Kero's very mention of
Touya made the mirror Sakura smile wide for a moment.
"I wish he was here. His presence fills me with happiness." said the
living embodiment of the Mirror Card.
Everyone's thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell.
"I wonder who that could be?" said Tomoyo. "I told all of our friends
that Sakura was quite ill and that she wasn't going to be going out
this weekend."
Tomoyo walked down the stairs and opened the front door. There stood
Li Syaoran, Sakura's boyfriend and former rival from Hong Kong.
"What are you doing here, Li?!!" asked Tomoyo, caught totally off
guard by his appearance.
"I thought I'd surprise Sakura by arriving here a week before I had
intended." Syaoran answered back.
"Yeah, that's the word all right...surprised!!!" thought Tomoyo.
END INTERLUDE.
Back in the Arcade Brigade headquarters, Destrux has confronted both
Sakura and Parrillusia.
"You! You're the dark being I've been having nightmares about!"
Sakura looked a bit scared but stood her ground.
"Flattery will get you nowhere my little magician." Destrux' hands
began to glow with power as Parrillusia moved between him and the
young Cardcaptor.
"You'll have to go through me, Destrux!!!" Parrillusia's eyes also
began to glow with electricity as she stared down the archmage.
Destrux stared back at her. "Pixie witch! I know you're not at full
power since our last meeting and without Arcademan around, this will
be a most lopsided battle. Prepare to meet you superior,
Parrillusia!!!"
"Go ahead, you bastard!!! Give it your best shot!!!" Destrux pulled
out his energy gun and began to fire it right as Parrillusia shot out
her bolts of lightning. Both blasts cancelled each other out however
the light from the energy explosion blinded Parrillusia, long enough
for Destrux to take advantage of the situation by pasting her with a
powerful right hook. Parrillusia slumps down to her knees by the
punch.
"Heh. All too easy, Parrillusia. Now to show you how true darkness can
feel!!!" He punches the fallen pixie with a series of punches,
followed up by a kick into her unprotected side, rendering her
unconscious. Then Destrux turned his attention to Sakura.
"Your turn, little girl!" mocked Destrux as he took a few steps
towards the still-shocked Sakura. Then she pulled out her necklace,
which contained a locket...
"Key with the power of the stars,
reveal your true power to me...
By our contract, I, Sakura command...
RELEASE!!!"
