Todd stood there and looked long and hard at the figure in shadow. "It's that dream again! Who is that on the radio tower...?" Todd fixed the feather on his white turban and looked at Kero and asked. "Who is that...? Is it someone you know? A guardian beast?"

"Guardian beast...no I don't know who it is..." Kero mumbled. "That's funny... I wonder who it might be?"

Todd walked up to the ledge of the building and took out the jump card. "I'm going to go see who it is. I'll be right back..." Todd said as he threw the jump card up. "Jump card!!" Todd slammed the spear head down on the card and wings appeared on his feet. Todd crouched and leaped up...and that's when he woke up.

Todd was greeted by a buzzing alarm. "Aagh! The alarm! Why isn't there any music!?"

"I turned the alarm on so you'd be awake and ready for school." Kero replied, annoyed. "You SLEPT through the last one..."

"What?!" Todd asked loudly as he got up from his bed quickly. "No! I'm gonna be late!!" Todd whipped on his school uniform and straightened his tie. "I hate this uniform, they say you don't have to iron it but it looks lousy if you don't..." Todd sighed as he got his school bag ready. "I won't be able to have breakfast because I have no time!!"

"You always have time for breakfast." Kero replied as he flew ahead. "Whoa!!"

Todd ran after him to see a full breakfast table of food. Todd gained a strange look and sat down on the table. Miss Mackenzie turned to him. "You're finally up!"

"Yeah..." Todd mumbled as he ate a pancake. "Yum, these are delicious. What about school?"

"What? It's 7:08." Miss Mackenzie replied. "School isn't for an hour."

"WHAT!?" Todd shouted out loud and turned to Kero. Todd started ringing Kero like a bell and he shouted. "How could you play such a dirty trick!? Setting my alarm clock 40 minutes ahead...you are absolutely disposable!!" Todd stopped and turned to Miss Mackenzie and smiled, very coy. "Sorry about that..."

Kero was left totally dizzy, he stumbled around in the air. "Whoa...I feel sick..." He shook his head and sighed. "Expect the unexpected, you little gremlin..."

Todd ate more pancakes and gulped down some orange juice. "Wow, you really went all out! Why would you make something this huge though?"

"I don't know what you mean but...I've finished grading your paper, here you..." Miss Mackenzie took out an essay and Todd suddenly shuddered.

"Whoa, save the essay for last class. I hate being depressed this early in the morning..." Todd replied, refusing the essay. "Even if it's good, I can't risk it..."

"Oh...okay..." Miss Mackenzie replied. "Well, we'll go to school soon...do you want me to drive you or do you want to walk with your friends?"

"My friends don't go the same way as me so...Thanks for the drive!" Todd thanked happily.

The drive was very short, Todd got out of the car and Sakura walked up to greet him. "Hey Todd, Why did Miss Mackenzie drive you to school?"

"Well...Miss Mackenzie is my new sitter and she drives here..." Todd replied, a bit embarrassed. "My days of avoiding homework are over huh?"

Sakura laughed and replied. "Well, so it does...so what are we going to do today?"

"Maybe we could go to a movie or we could watch a video...Meilin wanted to see the Shaolon Warriors Return to Strike Back at the Queen part XVIII...We could bring everyone." Li replied.

"The Shaolon warriors would be so much fun! They remind me of you, Li!!" Meilin tittered, getting a little hyper. "Shaolon, Shoalon, Shaolon!!"

"I didn't know that the Shaolon Warriors were over here? I heard it was a Chinese movie..." Madison replied. "I wonder if it will be any good?"

"Any good?!" Meilin asked, totally shocked. "They'll be just AWESOME! You have to see this one guy, he's such a hunky baby! He's just gorgeous..."

"Hunky baby...?" Todd mumbled. "What is a hunky baby...wait, I don't want to know..."

The bell rang and everyone started to go into the school and Tatea followed them. She then mumbled to herself. "Hmm...this will be interesting...uh?!" Tatea looked back in disgust as he saw Jeremy tugging at her sleeve. "What on earth are you doing, you idiot?"

"I was wondering if you'd go with me to a movie?" Jeremy asked in a bonny way. "I'm sure you want to see that Shaolon stuff right?"

"I'll get back to you." Tatea replied, a little oblique. "It's time for school..." Tatea ran into the building.

Jeremy's eyes lit up and he sighed. "Wow! I can't believe it!" He ran into the school before the Tardy bell rang.

In class, Li turned to Sakura. "So..."

"So..." Sakura said back. "So...comes before "La" and after "Fa" in music. Or you could be talking about sewing. I'm not bad at sewing so if you need some pointers..."

"No, It's just that..." Li started but was cut off by Meilin.

"Thanks again for coming with me to the Shaolon Warriors movie. I really appreciate it!" She turned back to her desk and took out her English stuff. "English is so boring...Why can't we study Chinese...?"

Mr Terrada walked in and set his briefcase on the teacher's desk. "Hello Class, I'll be filling in for Miss Mackenzie. Something came up and she won't be here for the morning. She'll be back this afternoon."

"What?" Todd asked to himself. "She just drove me here an hour ago? I wonder what's up?"

"Anyway, take out your grammar books and we'll get started right away. Miss Mackenzie told me to pass out the assignments you passed in to her yesterday." Mr. Terrada continued. "She was pleased with the scores so can I have a volunteer?"

Rita got up from her desk and took the handouts from him. She stumbled a bit turning back but she was all right. Todd looked on oddly but he shrugged. She passed the essays back and Todd peered on with his mark. "Oh man...I can't look... I was hoping that English was last..."

"I got an 82." Madison smiled as she turned to Todd. "What did you get?"

"I can't look... you see it." Todd replied, handing it to Madison. "Break it to me gently..."

"You got a 77." Madison replied warmly.

Todd's hand slipped at that and he nearly hit the desk with his head. "That's pretty gentle..."

"Thanks, I try!" Madison said as she handed it back.

Meanwhile, Tatea took the essay and threw it in the garbage. "93...that's fine."

Jeremy turned to her and asked "So have you thought about it? Are we going to the Shaolon movie?"

"I'm still thinking about it..." Tatea replied, drawing a picture of a girl squishing a guy beneath her feet. "It's becoming a little clearer but I'm still in thought."

"Well, I'll ask at lunch." Jeremy stated cheerily.

From then on, English was as boring as bread with water. Mr Terrada had to swack the board with his pointer to keep people alert. Todd fell asleep but was gently awakened by Sakura. In the end, there was recess which was too short to make anyone happy. Music was next and Todd demonstrated his improvement. Jaki and Mashou captivated the audience with their enchanting flute playing. Lunch followed and everyone was let out.

Jeremy walked to Tatea who was eating lunch alone as usual. "You eat here alone?"

"About as much as you eat alone. Don't you have any friends you can pester?" Tatea bitingly remarked, eating a piece of sashimi. "This is good..."

"What are you eating?" Jeremy asked.

"I'm eating Sashimi. It's basically raw fish. I also have squid in here somewhere..." Tatea replied as she rooted through her lunch with her chopstick. "My brother never puts enough squid in..." She looked up to see a blank looking Jeremy. "What's up? Why did you come here in the first place? To see me eat my lunch? Don't you have anything to do?"

"So, what's the word on us going to the movie?" Jeremy asked.

"I've decided, that I won't go out with you. You're just too weird for me." Tatea replied as she ate a tiny squid. "Oh well for you huh? You want one?" She offered Jeremy a tiny squid.

"...no thanks..." Jeremy replied grimly and sighs and saunters off slowly.

"...Poor kid." Tatea remarked as she ate another piece of Sashimi. "Wow...Blair makes good Sashimi."

Meanwhile, at the table under the willow tree, Madison was showing Todd some designs that she's been tinkering with. Todd looked over each one criticizing. "I hate this one...this one is too weird...I like this one, but where will it come in? Hmm...what is this thing..."
 

"Thanks again for coming with me to the Shaolon Warriors!" Meilin replied to everyone. "Avalon here might have some good taste after all!"

"Hey!" Sakura protested but smiled as she saw her old cyber rose, rubber getup that helped her capture the thunder card. "I don't suppose that Todd will ever wear that thing."

Todd looked closer and nodded. "Nope, never."

The bell rang and everyone went back in to do their next two classes. Jeremy was stopped by Jaki and she smiled. "So, I saw you talkin' to Tatea...what do you see in that wierdo anyway?"

"I think she's the most beautiful creature of all..." Jeremy mused. "I wonder how I might win her affections?"

Jaki roller her eyes and then she slapped her hands together. "I know! How about WE go to that Shaolon movie instead? I'll bet we could make her jealous..."

"Really?" Jeremy's eyes lit up. "Wow! That'll be great!"

They both went into the school to start their second half of school. First it was Math and Miss Mackenzie was back, she assigned everyone homework and then they had Social Studies. Todd stayed awake the whole class and eventually the clock struck three.

Everyone was let out of School. Todd hummed as he and everyone else entered the cinema and bought Tickets to Shalon Warriors. Li and Todd turned and nodded to one another. "It's gonna get tough from here on, so let's be quick."

"Right, everyone get back." Todd replied as he and Li rushed back to the counter. The guy working there walked over and asked. "What'll it...uh oh..."

Todd looked over at the ticket booth and saw them coming. "Get us three medium popcorns, 5 cherry sodas and two candy boxes and hurry!!" Todd yelled nervously as the crowd ran towards them.

The shopkeeper ran and did all the things Todd asked without even messing up once. Todd did his part and gave exact change. Todd and Li took the junk and ran to the wall, just missing them. Everyone looked on, shocked as the crowd screamed their orders and all 14 of the clerks hastily met every demand.

"We did it and we got out just in time!" Todd breathed. "Here you go everyone!"

"Well, the worst is over so let's find a seat before they fill up." Li commented as they went into the Movie room #2.

Jaki and Jeremy walked in to notice that the mob was getting ugly. Jaki turned to Jeremy and said. "You'd better find us some seats. I'll get us some snacks."

"You sure that's safe?" Jeremy asked.

"Yeah..." Jaki replied, her eyes gleaming, iniquitous. As Jeremy ran into the Movie room, Jaki waved her arms downward and made a sweeping motion with her left hand. Everyone was forced away from the counter and were shocked. Jaki calmly ordered a medium popcorn and a licorice bag with a lime and a cherry soda. She calmly walked back to Movie room #2 and turned back to everyone. "What's up? You look like you've seen a ghost...!"

The group had good seats and they ate a bit of popcorn and they watched the lights dim. Todd turned to Madison and said. "There's something about dimming the lights that makes it seem even cooler..."

"I know..." Madison replied. "Let's pray it isn't like the movie we saw before..."

After the 11 preview commercials, the movie began. It started in a house in china where a guy was talking to an old man. There was subtitles but they were in Japanese. Todd squinted and read them to himself. "I can't make out some words so... "Here we are again, Mertain. How will we deliver the computer...chaps? We must ask for the...armorable? Shaolon Warriors to assist the...trunk to Hong Kong to help the army learn about the activities of the....trashcans? Or is it trespassers... or maybe telephones? Teach the army about the telephones?! Wait, that's not right..."

An audience member shushed him. Todd blushed and said. "Sorry!"

Meilin ate a bite of popcorn and said. "This has been translated terribly..."

Madison slurped some soda and blinked. "I wonder what's going to happen next? These foreign films are odd but well done..."

Li frowned. "This one isn't as good as the last 17 Shaolon Warrior movies... I hope it gets better."

In the back of the Movie theater, Jaki and Jeremy were sitting back and eating some popcorn. Jaremy crunched some popcorn and said. "Well, this movie is from china right? You're from china so you'll be able to interpret..."

"Well...I don't know the language actually...I don't know what this stuff is..." Jaki replied, eating some licorice. "I know Japanese though...but this movie really bites."

"Well, there's bound to be some fighting though so it won't all be bad." Jeremy commented as he slurped his lime soda. "Hey! How did you know I like lime soda?"

"Just a guess..." Jaki replied. "Hee, hee, hee..."

The movie showed the young guy leaving the old guy's house, he opened the man hole and jumped into the sewer. He said something else while jumping that wasn't subtitled.

Todd blinked and asked Meilin. "Okay...why did that guy jump into the sewer?"

"The Shaolon warriors live in the sewer! It's their hideout!" Meilin replied. "They're myterious warriors..."

"Mysterious warriors that probably stink like you know what..." Todd remarked, wrinkling his nose. "I can't believe that heros like that live in a sewer! They aren't ninja turtles for crying out loud..."

"Ninja turtles?!" Meilin asked, really confused. "What are ninja turtles?"

The audience member shushed Todd again and Todd apologized again. "Sorry!"

* * *

Meanwhile, up in the film room, we see a scrawny guy with a goatee scratching himself. He yawned and said. "This movie is a real snooze fest...I can't believe out theater would bring something this crummy into our movie theater...but then again, there was that 40 Days and 40 Nights movie that really stunk up the theater..."

A woman wearing a scarf over her lower face walked into the room and stared at him. She was wearing odd clothing and the Man asked her in a somewhat raised voice. "What are you doing here, I thought that no one was allowed here?"

The woman did not reply.

The man blinked in disbelief and asked. "Are you deaf or something? You can't be in here so go away!"

The woman did not leave but she walked up to him put her finger on his lips. The feel of the finger chilled him and filled him with discomfort and alarm and he lost some color. She then stepped back and he got up. He went to say. "If you don't leave, I'll call security" but he made no sound. She laughed at him but there was no sound from her. She then took out a sash and used telekinesis to tie him up with it. She then jumped INTO the movie player and all of the movie's sound went silent. The audience started murmuring and looking towards the film room. Sakura turned to Madison and asked. "What happened?"

"I don't know, there might be technical difficulties." Madison replied.

Meilin looked at the heros as they fought off all of the ninjas. "They're about to show the terrorist leader..." Meilin said to Todd.

The leader stepped out of the shadows and Todd, Sakura and Li gasped. Madison asked them all. "Isn't that a you-know-what?"

"Right!" Todd replied seriously and said. "Let's go to the film room and see what happened."

When they all stepped out, they saw that no one was around. Todd, Li and Sakura took out their things and Todd went first. "Spear of Todd...power of magic...power of light...surrender the spear...the force ignite...release!" Todd's spear glowed and floated out of his hands and it flashed and showed its true size.

Sakura did the same. She took out the Key of Star and released its power. "Key of Star...Release!!" Her key floated up and exploded in a dazzling dash of sparkles and the star wand was revealed.

Li took out his pendant and chanted. "Force of light with ancient spin, send forth the magic power within, Force know my plight, release the light!!" His pendant faded away and his sword appeared in its place. He stopped and said. "This is the silent card, but you guys probably already know that, right?"

"Right, so let's go!" Todd said as he opened the door that revealed stairs to the film room.

Back in the theatre, Jeremy yawned and said. "What's going on?"

"I'm going to complain! Wait here." Jaki got up and said. "Don't get up, I'll fix everything...hee, hee, hee..." When she entered the main floor, she looked around. "Good! No one around..." She closed her eyes and glowed a blue which changed to red and black. Her wings burst from her back. Her shoes changed into her leather boots, her dress changed to her real one and her antennaes twanged out of her head. "Ooh...it's nice to be back to normal, now, where is the film room?"

An usher walked out into the hall and saw her. She froze and he stepped back. She put out her hand and a glowing ball of energy appeared. She launched it at him while he ran and it hit him in the upper back. He collapsed and she turned away. "Can't let you tell now, can I?"

Everyone was now in the film room and they saw the camera had a vortex around it. Todd walked up and said. "I wonder...let's touch it...I think it'll take us to where Silent is. We'll capture her." Todd took out the sleep card and said. "I'll use this first." He threw the Sleep card up and it floated there. "Sleep, put everyone in the movie theater to sleep so we can go in safely. Sleep, release and dispel!!" Todd impaled the Sleep card with his spear and the card broke into a burst of blue sparkling dust. Sleep popped out and shot into the theater. It sprinkled everyone below and they all nodded off. Todd smiled. "Well, let's go!"

"Not yet..." Madison replied. "I have a battle costume for you..." Todd took it and went to the closet to change and he opened the door. Out fell the man with the goatee and he was shouting out but making no sound. He was discolored.

While Todd changed, Li undid the sash the man was tied up in. He nodded in thanks and left the room. Todd walked out dressed in knee high boots, a belt and a blue cape. He had a headband with wings on each side. "This is odd but I'll wear it if you like it..." Todd replied as he saw himself in Madison's mirror.

They all ran to the camera and touched it. They were teleported into the movie. Everyone looked around and saw Silent running towards a train that has temporarily stopped but was almost ready to move again. Todd took out the dash card and said "I don't think so...Dash Card, make us all able to run faster to catch up to Silent. Dash card, release and dispel!!" Todd slammed the Dash card and it showered everyone with glittering green yellow lights and everyone could run like the wind. They ran up to the train as it started moving and leapt onto the end of it. Todd flopped down and sighed. "There we made it..."

"That's just the beginning, let's go on top of the train." Li said as he started climbing the ladder. "She's headed towards the front of the train." Everyone climbed the ladder and saw her running towards the front. They ran after her.

Back in reality, Sennyo entered the film room and walked up the stairs. She looked at the screen and saw Sakura and Madison running somewhere on a train. She scowled. "I don't think so, sweet hearts, I'm after this clow card!" She ran up to the camera and touched it. She was also teleported to the movie and saw the train head towards a bridge. "I'll get there by flight! Just watch me!" She took to the air with her wings and headed toward the bridge.

Everyone followed Silent. They got about five cars up when they noticed something flying towards them. Todd looked over to Li and asked. "What is that thing? Is it part of the movie?"

Li squinted at the creature and blinked. He turned to Todd and replied. "I don't think so, what it that?"

"Oh no, it's Sennyo!" Sakura shouted. "What are we going to do with her?"

"I don't really care what you guys do..." Todd mumbled. "As long as you guys keep her occupied, I can get to the top car and stop Silent...oh by the way, since I'm silent...how can you tell what I'm saying."

Meilin pointed above Todd's head. "We read the subtitles the appear and we know...just like you."

Todd scratched the back of his head and smiled. "I was wondering why there were messages above your heads..." Todd gave Sakura the Water card. "Take this, you'll probably need it."

Sakura nodded as Li and Sakura turned to face the approaching Sennyo. "Be careful! Ninjas might attack you."

"Don't worry about it." Todd nodded and took out the Fly card. "Let's fly!!" Todd slammed the Fly card with his spear head and white wings grew on it. Todd took to the sky and was fast approaching the train.

Sennyo landed in front of them and smirked. "What's this? You think you guys can stop me? Well, well..."

Sakura and Li jumped back and gained a defensive stance. Li replied. "You want the card? You'll have to take us down first."

Sennyo laughed at them. "Fine! Show me your best!" Sennyo flew off and started blasting beams of energy at them. Sakura took out the water card and Li took out an ofuda.

"Now element! Ward!!" Li chanted and put the ofuda on the guard. The ofuda created a dome that protected against Sennyo's blasts of energy. "Sakura, summon the Water card, The shield won't hold forever..."

Sakura threw the water card up and chanted. "Water, attack Sennyo with all your water magic. Water, release and dispel!!" Sakura slammed the card with the star wand the star spun as she did it. The card broke into swirls of blue energy which formed into Water's shape.

Water lunged at Sennyo and she dodged Water's first attack. Sennyo put two fingers to her forehead and chanted. "Freeze the irritating Water spirit!!" and shot a azure laser from her hands and Water was hit with her power.

Meanwhile, Todd landed at the front of the train and jumped off of his Spear. He looked back at the battle between Sakura, Li and Sennyo with Meilin cheering them on. "Hope you can hold her off..." Todd turned to the engine and three ninjas jumped out. "Perfect." Todd grumbled as he took his stance and raised his spear. "Magic Missile!!" Todd's spear gained a ball of light at the top and Todd flung it at the ninjas. It passed right through them. "Uh oh...I'm in trouble." The ninjas advanced on him. Todd stepped back but four people suddenly jumped up from behind. Todd turned to see them and saw the Shaolon warriors. "What on earth...wait, the Shaolon Warriors!"

The Shaolon Warriors nodded and prepared to fight the ninjas. Warrior 2 did a flying jump kick and knocked a ninja off of the train. Warrior one flipped the ninja and he also fell off. While they were fighting, Todd sidestepped the Warriors and hopped into the engine room.

Silent was in there, waiting for him. Todd approached her and said. "That's as far as you go! I'm gonna capture you."

Silent gave him a note and Todd read it. "I commend your abilities and will join you on your quest." Todd blinked, a bit confused but he nodded. Todd jumped back and positioned his spear. "Silent card! Return to your power confined, Silent!!" Todd jumped up and a glowing clow card appeared on the tip of the spear. Silent broke into several beams of light which filtered into the card and Silent's picture appeared on it. Todd left the engine room and ran back to Sakura and Li who were fighting Sennyo. Sennyo looked over at the smiling Todd and he showed the Silent card to her.

She cried out. "What! You stinker!"

Todd and everyone else noticed everything getting bright and they began floating. "Whoa! What's happening!?"

"We're leaving the movie!" Li replied as they felt a surge of warmth. Everyone flew out of the camera. They slowly got up and groaned.

Sennae shouted. "I won't forget this! If my brother was with me, I would have won!!" She dashed off and down the stairs. She looked around and changed back to Jaki. She walked back to the movie and sat down beside Jeremy who was asleep. Jaki shook him awake and said. "You fell asleep but you didn't miss anything..."

"I didn't?" Jeremy yawned. "Well... it looks like Tatea wasn't here..."

"Oh well, we had a good time right?" Jaki asked.

"Yeah..." Jeremy replied.

The clow gang walked out of the Theater and Todd was in his normal clothes. "Sorry the movie was ruined..."

"It wasn't your fault." Madison replied. "We got to be IN the movie, that was a blast!"

"Right, I should be an actor." Todd proclaimed and then everyone laughed as they headed back to Sakura's house.

* * *

Tatea got up from her seat in the movie theater. "That was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. At least, Sakura and Li and Todd are fighting a little better. I wonder if they'll grow in power like the Naughty ones are...Maybe they'll actually have the power to collect all the cards... Tejina should need to know this..." Tatea replied as she headed to the door.

Next time on Card Captor Todd.

Todd saw himself back in the Lasan shrine, he looked on as he saw the Flower card approach him. "What are you doing, Flower? Are we going to fight or something?" Flower shook her head and then she smiled gently as she took Todd's hand and they went to the Lasan statue slab and she curtseyed to him. Todd looked her a little odd and said. "Well, if you say so...but I'm not very good at it..."

* * *

"How can you defend yourself after what you did?" Mr. Terrada shouted. "You first ran into my lab and threw a beaker on the ground. Then you wrote 'Todd Rocks' all over my chalkboard, you don't rock at all. You also hurled the chalk you used at me and you took my coffee right out my hand and spun around with it on a desk! You splattered coffee everywhere!"

Todd gained a mystified look. "Huh?!"
