"Yeah sure." Todd replied. "Hey Sakura, how about we call Li, Madison and Meilin over to my house? We'll do some studying and possibly talk about the you-know-whats as well."
"Okay…" Sakura replied tiredly. "We'll also relax too, I'm exausted."
They were dropped off at the gateway and the car drove off in the distance. Todd looked forward to the Kyoden manor and said. "Come on, I've got some pudding that needs to be eaten…"
Kero popped out from Todd's backpack and asked. "Pudding, where?"
They ran to the main building and bumped into Tatea. Tatea was looking really annoyed. Todd asked. "Hey Tatea, what's wrong?"
"Its none of your business!" Tatea snapped as she stormed out the door.
"What's her problem…?" Todd mumbled to Sakura.
"I don't know, but I'm tired…Let's go in and invite everyone over for a little discussion." Sakura replied.
They both got into the elevator and went to the top floor. They got off and went to Todd's apartment and within seconds, they were on the couches relaxing. Todd sighed as he hopped onto the lazy boy chair. "Wow, this chair is the best…"
Sakura picked up the phone and called Li's number. The phone rang twice and Li picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hi! This is Sakura, come over to Todd's house and we'll talk. Bring Meilin too." Sakura replied.
"Sure, Sakura…how come?" Li asked. "Is something wrong?"
"Nope! We're just going to relax and study. See you here!" Sakura hung up the phone and said to Todd. "Well, Li and Meilin are coming. Shall I call Madison?"
"Of Course!" Todd replied, slowly getting up. "Madison probably wants to get all the info on the Power card capture!"
Sakura nodded and picked the phone up again. Sakura called Madison's number and Madison's butler picked up. "Yes? How can the Taylors help you?"
"Hey, This is Sakura. Is Madison home?"
"Yes, I shall go fetch her." The butler replied as he went and got Madison. "There is a call from Sakura Avalon."
"All right!" Madison cheered. Madison ran to the phone and replied. "Hey Sakura, I just got a brand new camera. It's an even better model of the ZRX 125. It now comes equipped with night vision and solar power during the day. Tres cool huh?"
"Huh? Another camera? I thought you just got a new camera last week?"
"Right! But this one is a corrected version. It seemed that the last version had the incorrect measurements for the solar design…or something like that…anyway, I'm hot on the trail of making a new battle costume for Todd." Madison replied.
"Yeah, speaking of that…do you think you can come over to Todd's today? We're studying and talking about the clow cards so…"
"Sure! I'd love to come, I was getting bored anyway…" Madison replied. "I'll be right over!"
Sure enough, five minutes later there was a knocking on the apartment door. Todd got up and answered it and Madison walked in. Todd looked shocked. "Wow! That was fast!"
Within a few minutes, Li and Meilin arrived on the scene. Todd greeted them and let them in. Everyone was finally there and Sakura first started. "Well, we went on the picnic and…"
"And what and what?" Meilin and Madison eagerly asked. "Come on! Fill us in!"
Todd picked up where Sakura left off and he replied, a little angry. "…and a clow card attacked us! It was the power card."
Kero slurped his pudding and replied. "Yeah, the Power card almost squished Todd and Sakura's parents with a giant rock!"
"Oh no! Are they okay?" Madison asked, panicked.
"They're fine…Sakura used the Time card to keep the rock from smashing my mom and her dad. It was pretty cool actually…the rock hung in the air! It was like the movie, Matrix!" Todd replied. "I should have taken the card, I thought it was cool!"
Sakura smiled and said. "You used the Windy and the Jump card…using the time card would have worn your magic out."
"Yeah well, that card still was pretty cool." Todd commended quietly.
"Li got the time card when Sakura here was still trying to capture the cards. Li used the time card lots of times…" Meilin replied. "Li was also really good at it too."
"Anyway, the Power card was showing the classic signs of "Dark One aura syndrome." Power was really aggressive to me was well as all the others…anyway, I use the windy card to protect myself and to bind Power so I could capture it." Todd replied. "That's two cards in one day. Another two for one deal…"
"Wow! I wonder what your mom and Sakura's dad are doing right now?" Madison replied.
"My dad said that he's going to take my mom out for a night on the town." Sakura replied.
"That means that we have the house to ourselves!" Todd replied. "Hey guys! Want to watch some T.V for a while?" Todd asked.
"Sure!" Madison replied.
Todd turned on the T.V and they saw a commercial about pudding. By the end of the commercial, Kero was nearly in tears. "Fantastic…the sound was equisite…the photography was superb…and the music was something else!"
"Kero, I didn't know you were a pudding commercial critic!" Madison said cheerily. "I guess that it takes a great pudding connoisseur…"
"Right! If only I could star in a pudding commercial…" Kero replied dreamily as he slipped into fantasy.
The lights dimmed, the smoke rolled across the floor…and the dancers danced in. They did a stylish line dance with kicks and spins they began singing a gospel song about Kero and pudding. A man dressed in fantastic armor came onto the stage and played an introductory trumpet song. He announced. "We now present the pudding master, actually the pudding god of gods…Keroberos!!!"
He took a huge drum out of nowhere and played a drum song as a woman dressed in a princess like way walked onto stage. She was holding a red cushion with gold sequience and sitting on that cushon was Kero. Kero was smiling and waving to the crowd, now getting pumped with exitement as Kero was being carried to the center stage. Kero was taken to a fabulous decorated column with statues of Kero, all with beauty that Kero saw matched him. Kero was placed in the center with his fabulous cusion. Kero looked up and saw more highly decorated knights.
The knights marched up to Kero and said. "We present the biggest rainbow pudding in the world to you. We call it the giganto indulgence!!" The knight took out his horn and blew into it, signaling the serving girls to bring in the gigantic pudding. Four girls walked in, holding the pudding on a display platform. Kero's mouth watered in anticipation. The girls slowly brought the pudding to the decorated column and Kero dove in, seconds away from the biggest feast in history. Todd's face suddenly appeared in the luster of the pudding's surface and Todd said. "Don't tell me you're fantasizing again?!"
Kero suddenly snapped back into reality. He was nearly in tears and asked. "Why did you bring me back…?"
"It must be fun to dream when you're wide awake…" Todd complained, then looked back at the T.V. "Hey! Look at that!"
Another commercial came onto the tube, showing an announcer saying. "And now for a fantastic announcement. We are proud to present to you, that Magicial Adventures Virtual reality studio is finally open for business!"
Todd's eyes opened wider in enthusiasm. Todd's face brightened up as he replied. "Oh wow!!"
The commercial started showing some interiors and then the prices. The announcer continued. "This virtual reality arcade is tuned to show various adventures with the click of a button. The object of the game is to zap all the monsters with the lasers that are attached to your arm when you put the equipment on." The next shot was a guy wearing the equipment. The announcer decribed it and then he told about the location of the virtual reality arcade. The commercial ended.
Todd turned to Sakura and enthusiastically stated. "We have got to go to this virtual reality theater! It will be so cool! We could sharpen up our fighting skills and then some!"
Sakura nodded but then frowned. "I'll bet it's pretty expensive though…and think about the line that there would be in order to get into the place. I'll bet it'll be packed solid."
Madison winked at both of them and said. "I can get us in. My mom and I helped in the construction of the place. She financed it and said that it would be a good investment. I even helped design the themes for adventure!"
"Really?" Todd asked. "Let's go!"
They all left the apartment and went to the mall. The mall was still bustling with activity as always, they ran to Magical Adventures and saw the huge line. They all gasped but Madison remained calm. She walked up to the ticket administrator and showed him her Id. He verified it and Madison rushed back to the crowd. "We're in!"
"Thanks Madison!" Todd replied as they all went into the arcade.
They walked into the equipment room and saw Jeremy. They went shocked as Jeremy did his superhero moves. They watched in mystified wonder as Jeremy did his superhero vows. "…I have sworn to fight the forces of evil…to defend the innocent…on behalf on all that is good and right…I will TRIUMPH over the forces of evil…I will punish you!!" As he turned to the gang, he blushed and gained a stupid look on his face. "Uh…guys! I didn't see you!"
"We saw you!" They all laughed. "Planning to fight the forces of evil today?"
"You will punish me…" Todd said, looking at Jeremy. "Is that supposed to be some sort of threat? What did I do to you?" Todd asked, a little confused.
"Nothing. Sorry guys, I'm just practicing my war call." Jeremy confessed. "I'm gonna set the highest score!"
"Not likely!" Li scoffed. "I'll get the highest score yet!"
They all put their gear on. At first they seemed a little confused at what piece goes where and how to put this thing on. Thank goodness there were instructions. Meilin caught on before any of them, and finished preparing first. She turned back to see Sakura still fumbling with the chest piece. Sakura finally put her VR equipment on and everyone was ready to start their magical adventure. They all put their visors on and walked into the room.
They all gasped in wonder as they found themselves in a big dark forest. The trees and foliage seemed very real. Todd walked over to the sign posted on a wooden shaft on the side of the dirt road and read it. "Beware, wolves and brownies inhabit the area."
Todd asked out loud. "Wolves and brownies? What's a brownie? Is it like one of those desserts that is mainly chocolate with nuts? Or is it…"
Li suddenly shouted. "Whoa! Watch out! A brownie!"
Todd turned around to see a cute little tiny person with green hair and green clothing. Todd kneeled over to it and asked. "Is this thing a brownie?"
The brownie smiled, revealing sharp cruel fangs. Todd stepped back, shocked. The brownie laughed again and lunged at Todd. It was suddenly blasted from the side with a fireball. The brownie vanished into the air. Todd was breathing hard and looked over to Li who smiled as he sheathed his weapon up again. Todd asked. "So that's what these things are…!" Todd took out his blaster and said. "Okay, Time to go."
They started walking through the forest and hearing curious sounds emanating from the surroundings. Sakura mumbled. "This is creepy…"
Many brownies appeared and Todd and Li got their weapons ready. The Brownies suddenly lunged at Todd and Li which got them shot. The brownies disappear and Todd and Li breathed a sigh of relief. Li commented. "This seems so real!"
"I know, Madison did a great job at making the adventures." Todd replied, making Madison smile.
"They call them brownies even though they are obviously green…and who programmed them to be so evil looking. They'd be cute if they didn't attack us like that." Meilin complained. "Oh no, what's happening now?"
The forest was shaken by a violent eathquake. Trees were falling down, cracks were forming in the roads and the noise was totally defening. Todd commanded. "I hear a voice! Let's go see!"
Todd, Li, Meilin, Madison, Jeremy and Sakura all ran to an open field where two people were being attacked. The attacker seemed to be a huge human shaped monster that was made of stone, a golem. The woman beside the man was screaming as the man attempted to fight off the monster. Sakura yelled. "Those people are being attacked! Let's go help them!"
Everyone ran to the monster and began blasting the monster with their fireball blasters. The golem took a swing at them but they dodged out of the way. Within a matter of shots, the golem burst into flame and evaporated into nothing.
"What on earth was that thing?!" Madison asked, while putting her blaster away.
"Beats me, this must be a mini boss or something…" Todd replied. "You know, like in Monster Battle 2000x…"
"I don't know!" Meilin replied, annoyed. "I don't play video games…"
They all ran to the couple and gasped. The couple was Aiden and Alicia, Sakura's Dad and Todd's mom! Aiden got up and said. "Thank you…wait! Todd and Sakura?"
"What are you doing here?!" Alicia asked. "It's too dangerous!"
"No it isn't, the monsters aren't real!" Todd replied. "This is only a game."
"Well it sure seemed real to me…" Aiden replied. "Oh well, since you guys are here too…why don't you help us finish the game."
"Right, Dad." Sakura replied. "From the looks of it, I'd say that you'll be needing a lot of help!"
They all laughed and continued down the dirt road. They came across a little sign that reads. "The cave of Azure rocks ahead."
"Looks like we're going to the next area!" Todd commented.
They proceeded to the door at the far wall and entered it. They found themselves in a cave with a waterfall. Running through it, on their right was a raft sitting in the gentle part of the river and on their right is another sign. Jeremy walked up to it and read it. "Welcome to the azure crystals cave. Watch out for bats and river serpents. River Serpents?!"
Suddenly a river serpent leaped up from the water in an attempt to attack Sakura. Todd innately turned and zapped it with his weapon. The serpent disappeared. Todd walked over to Sakura and said. "Wow, that was a close one. You'd better watch out in the future..."
"Thanks Todd." Sakura replied warmly as they all got into the raft.
The raft started moving as everyone keenly looked around for bats and river serpents as they went down the stream. Not to their surprise, many bats tried to surprise them by flying and getting the drop on them. They shot each one coming at them and they disappear. Two river serpents leaped up from the water's surface and almost got Meilin but she shot them both with keen sight. The serpents disappeared. The river ride was coming to an end as they saw the current becoming more violent. Todd cried out as he heard the sound of falling water. "Waterfall! Everyone jump out now!"
They all managed to jump out of the raft before the raft fell over the edge of the waterfall. They were all breathing a sigh of relief. Alicia commented. "I've never been so scared!"
Madison giggled and replied. "It's not real. You however, just have to thank me on how good a job I made this adventure up."
Todd, Sakura and Li nodded. Meilin commented. "I knew it wasn't real anyway, after all...that water wasn't wet."
"Right." Madison replied.
"Before we continue our quest through the cave...I just want to ask you something, Madison." Jeremy started as Madison listened. Jeremy continued. "What would have happened if we fell over the waterfall?"
"The game would have been over for you." Madison replied. "The program would turn off for you and you would have gone through the exit."
"Uh oh, better not screw this up...this costed me 15 bucks!" Jeremy scoffed. "This is however...Whoa! Watch out!"
A laser almost hit Todd in the back. Thanks to Jeremy though, he dodged. Everyone looked up to see Tatea standing on the other side of the river. Todd asked. "Tatea! What brings you here?"
"What a stupid question..." Tatea grumbled. "Well duh! It should be pretty obvious why I'm here. I'm sharpening up my fighting skills! And for free, Too!"
Madison asked. "Free? What do you mean free?"
From behind the rock stepped Tejina and Blair. Madison looked again and greeted Tejina. "Hey, Tejina. So you got in free too huh?"
"Yeah, everyone who helped with the project gets to get in for free. Even Blair helped." Tejina replied.
"Yeah, I created the golem that you had to fight. I also came up with the sea serpents in the river, cool huh?" Blair declared proudly. "It's all part of my community service for you know...the crimes?"
"Yeah, we know." Todd replied. "Well, let's go together. I want to see what's next."
Blair chuckled and Tejina and Madison giggled. "We already know!"
Todd gave them a dirty look and growled. "Well don't spoil it for the rest of us."
They proceeded to meet up in a rock path that led down to the lower level of the cave. Todd started to see little crystals that were glowing a bright blueish color. "These are the azure crystals huh?"
Blair turned to Todd and replied. "Yeah, the object of both the cave and forest is to just get through them. I won't tell about the next area though!"
"That's cool...but what does the next area look like?" Todd asked.
"I'm not telling!" Blair replied, annoyed. "I thought you told us to not spoil it for you! Telling you would be a spoiler."
"...oh well. Hey! I wonder we haven't seen anyone around here?" Todd asked. "There were a ton of people around the entrance, but I haven't actually seen any unfamiliar faces..."
"We probably are the only people who have actually made it this far..." Blair replied. "I didn't think it was this hard…"
They continued down the road to the bottom of the cave where there was a huge chamber waiting for them. The ground was smooth as marble with azure crystals growing around the edges of the outlying area. Everyone saw a door ahead and they all looked on curiously.
"It's quiet…" Sakura commented in a quiet but serious tone.
"Yeah…a little too quiet…" Todd mumbled as he walked out ahead of the rest. "I'll see if it's safe for us to go through the door." Todd started walking towards the door but a figure jumped down, blocking their path. The figure had wild hair with a skin-tight body suit that was purplish and had yellow lightning bolts going down the sides of her outfit. Todd jumped back and asked. "What in blazes are you? Are you a VR monster? If you are a monster, well…you'll have to vanish now." Todd shot the blaster and sent out a yellow laser at the monster. The laser hit her chest but she didn't flash white as normal monsters show when they take a blaster hit. She also didn't fade away or disappear. "What in the world…? You're supposed to be gone now!"
The creature of light giggled and put her hands in front of her. In her hands appeared an orb of light which grew more with time. She shot it at Todd and he ducked out of the way. The shot flew past them and hit the wall of the cave. The cave started shaking a bit and Todd looked up. Many crystals that hung from the ceiling started to fall. Sakura looked up and gasped. "Whoa! Crystals! Run for it!"
The creature teleported and the door was free to access. Everyone quickly went through the door and entered a world of sand and huge statues. Todd looked back and saw that the door had vanished. "Hey! Where did the door go?"
"We seem to be in a place that looks sort of like ancient Egypt. This is so cool!" Li commented.
"Ugh! It feels so hot and sticky…just like a real desert!" Meilin complained.
"Yeah, let's go find some shade…" Todd replied.
They started walking towards a huge statue of a woman holding a cobra. The sand started to feel funny under their feet as Jeremy looked down. "Uh oh? I see something else…"
"What? What do you mean?" Todd asked as the sandy floor started vibrating and shaking violently. "Oh! Now I see…"
They gasped as a huge pyramid started to rise up from below their feet. Soon they seemed 100 feet up. Madison looked down and nodded. "This is the ancient Egypt adventure that Blair and I developed."
"Oh?" Blair looked around and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Oh yeah!! I almost forgot. We'd better slide down the pyramid before the raiders come."
"Raiders?" Jeremy asked. "…uh…what raiders?" When Jeremy turned around, he saw that the rest of the group had already started climbing down the pyramid. "Hey! Thanks for waiting!" Jeremy replied sarcastically as he started to join them. As they were climbing down the pyramid, he saw what looked like a black fuzz and a cloud of dust on the horizon. Jeremy cried out as he saw horsemen armed with guns and sabers galloping into view. "Hey guys! We have company…from what I see, there are at least 1000 of them…"
Sakura jumped down from the slabs of stone over the doorway and saw the inscriptions on the door. They were English. The door read. "In order to get into the pyramid where the ancient king sleeps, you must state your favorite color."
Tejina jumped up from behind her and shouted. "Green! My favorite color is green!"
The door opened as the raiders were closing in noisily. They all ducked into the pyramid and the door closed before the raiders could even get close to them. They all breathed a sigh of relief as they started to explore the pyramid. The pyramid's walls were covered with Egyptian symbols and inscriptions. "Wow…this is even cooler."
"I guess Li is still the same, he loved Egyptology back when we were younger and he still does now…" Meilin commented. "I must say though, it looks so real…"
"This looks somewhat like the movie: The Mummy." Tatea replied. "Oh no…" She commented as she stepped on a round stone on the floor. The stone pressed lower to trigger a trap that sent two walls down on each side of the tunnel, trapping them.
They looked backward and forward and Todd sighed. "Well, there's no way out so…"
Suddenly the walls started closing in on them. They slowly moved to meet each other and to crush the intruders. Jeremy looked at the walls and yelped. "Yikes! The walls are moving!"
Tatea looked over to see an oddity in the wall. She looked closer to confirm her suspicions. The bricks on the wall were layed out in a way that looked almost like a door. Tatea looked back and looked back at the group who were getting more and more panicked. Alicia gripped Aiden tightly and wailed. "I don't wanna die! Someone do something!!"
Tatea pushed on the wall and the wall moved back. She tuned to the others and smirked knowingly. "See? Things aren't always as they seem…"
Thatea pushed the wall back even more and the wall fell over and broke into a pile of bricks. Everyone stepped over the bricks and Todd complimented. "Thanks Tatea! We'd be dead meat if it weren't for you!"
"I know…" Tatea smiled arrogantly. "Let's go."
The dark passage came to a dead end. Meilin walked up to the wall and started feeling for secret passages. "If there was a secret before then there is also one here. Hey! Here we go!" Meilin pushed a switch and nodded proudly. "I did it!"
The floor suddenly opened up right out form under them and they fell screaming into the darkness below. The fall turned into a slide that was actually quite fun to ride. Jeremy screamed happily, "Weeee!!"
The slide ended in a huge room full of sand and an ancient tomb was resting on a slab in the middle of the chamber. The whole room was covered in runic and Egyptian designs. Todd walked to the tomb and bent over. The tomb read. "Do not open, for a vile demon resides inside."
"Well, then we won't open it now will we?" Todd replied as though he was talking to the tomb.
The tomb's lid suddenly jerked, spooking Todd. He stepped back in terror as the lid slowly to reveal a dark form that floated up. The form turned out to be the exact same monster that appeared in the cave, only now it was in full light. Todd jumped back and said. "It's you again!"
Meilin looked at the figure and suddenly bursted out. "Hey!! That's the shot card!!"
Shot suddenly turned into a glowing mass of light that targeted Meilin. Sakura shouted. "It really IS the shot card!! Oh no! It's after Meilin!"
"Not again! Once you say its name, you become its target!" Li said to Todd. "Wait!"
Alicia and Aiden suddenly asked. "Shot card? Is that like, a monster from the game?"
Instead of shooting Meilin, Shot began shooting everywhere. The shots it made were damaging the program and eventually, the ancient chamber turned into a plain room full of grids. Jeremy looked around and asked. "Huh? What happened?"
"I guess it's game over…but why is the monster still here!?" Aiden asked.
"It's gonna have to be taken care of by me!" Todd replied. "Everyone get out of here!"
Everyone but Meilin did as Todd told and they went through the exit. Todd turned to Shot who was leering at him and preparing to shoot. Todd took out his pocket spear and chanted. "Spear of Todd...power of magic...power of light....surrender the spear, the force ignite! Release!" Todd's spear shined in a light and flashed. The spear grew to normal size and Todd took it in his hands. "Okay, let's rumble!"
Sakura took out the key of star and also chanted. "Key of Star...power of magic...power of light...surrender the spear...the force ignite...release!" Sakura's key lifted out of her hand and spun around in a glowing orb of energy. The energy swirled around her as the key changed into her Star Wand. Sakura shouted. "Ready!"
Li took out his pendant and chanted. "Force of light with ancient spin, send forth the magic power within! Oracles of gold, wood, wind, earth, fire, rain, clouds and electricity...force know my plight...release the light!" Li's pendant glowed and his sword appeared. Li took hit and took an attacking stance with his sword. "Let's go!"
Shot rose up and took up Meilin as a target. Shot began shooting little blasts of hot energy at her and shot around. Todd saw this and went to take out the shield card from his pocket. "I'll use the shield card and...uh oh..."
"What do you mean uh oh?!" Meilin shouted as she used her lightning like reflexes to evade the shots being fired at her. "Ugh! Think of something! I can't do this forever..."
Sakura took out the time card and said to Todd. "I'll stop Shot in an instant...however, I can't hold her forever...so use the magic missile!" Sakura threw the time card into the air but Shot looked over and shot the time card. The blast hit the card and sent it flying to the edge of the room. Sakura attempted to get it but Shot blocked her path. "Oh no! How do I do this?"
Shot shot a blast of light at Sakura and innately she took her VR chest plate and attempted to shield herself from the blast. The shock sent Sakura against the back wall. Li saw this and summoned a lightning bolt from his sword and sent it at Shot with blinding speed. Shot countered with a shot of its own and the two blasts met in a electric explosion. Shot was suddenly hit from behind with an emerald shuriken and the shuriken exploded into a cloud of emerald energy. Shot was knocked into the wall and fell to its knees. Shot was back in its visable form.
The Mysterious stranger walked in as Sakura rushed to get the Time card. The Stranger took out the shadow card and said. "Shot, you have caused enough trouble. Shadow, release and dispel." The stranger threw the Shadow card up and struck it with her dagger. In a mass of black energy, Shadow formed and broke apart into the air. Shot looked around and was suddenly hit by a force. Shadow rose up from beneath Shot and bound her. Shot couldn't move.
Todd ran up to the two and positioned his spear. "Return to your power confined, Shot Card!!" Todd thrust his spear in front and a glowing card appeared on the head of the spear. Shadow and Shot both broke into energy beams and filtered into the card. Shot's picture appeared on the card and both cards flew to the Mysterious Stranger and she took both of them. Todd walked up to ask. "So another card goes to you huh?"
"Yes, this was foretold." The Stranger replied as the door opened to reveal Tatea and Jeremy.
Jeremy asked. "So did we miss anything? What happened?"
Todd replied. "A glitch in the programing...that's all."
Tatea walked up to the mysterious Stranger and Todd gained a surprised look. "So Tatea really isn't the Mysterious Stranger...then who is." Todd looked back to them to reveal the Mysterious Stranger vanished again.
Tatea walked up to Todd who looked very mystified and Tatea finally said. "Now you know."
"How about if you teach me how to use the clow cards for premonitions?"
"Sure! It's about time you asked me to do that...!" Kero replied cheery but annoyed. "You use your left hand in both shuffling and drawing the cards. You shuffle first and draw the cards...but don't look at them. You arrange each card like this. Put the first one on top and work your way down in a diamond shape, ending at the bottom. You then say this: Ancient cards of Clow...Give me vision now...Show me if you may...Who is standing in my way. Now you do it, but close your eyes while you do the incantation!"
* * *
Todd roller bladed to the hardware store and entered the store. Todd suddenly felt something, but he ignored it. He walked to the door knob section and looked at the one that matched his old one. He picked it off the shelve and took it to the counter. He walked past the door section and stared into it. He was hit with another feeling and said to himself. "I'm getting a creepy feeling from the doors here...I wonder why?"
Todd walked to the checkout counter and was hit by another feeling from behind. Todd turned to the source of the feeling and it was none other then the door section. Todd sighed and mumbled. "I feel something wrong here...very wrong...clow card wrong..."
