A year had now passed since the events that went on in Academy City. Well to be fair, it was about as normal as it could get for two siblings who happened to be Cardcaptors with the titles of master of the star cards.
"I mean after all viewers, even though a full year has passed since me and Sakura had last run into the rest of our allies. I can at least give you all a bit of foreshadowing when I say..." "Hey Zachary, I don't think that the viewers need to have a spoiler on what they can expect to read about right now. Hello there viewers Sakura here, and I am very sorry for being rude and intruding on your fourth wall break Zachary, but we kind of have a chapter to get to here." "Oh right sorry about that Sakura. So yeah viewers, I am afraid that as Sakura herself just said, I can't spoil you with any sort of a foreshadowing. I mean after all viewers, there has to be some sort of an incentive for you to want to be enticed enough to read on. But anyway viewers, on with the chapter."
Now anyway, even though me and Sakura were now both 13, we still had a lot on our minds, such as preparing for our first day at Junior High. And yet, after we had gotten back to our anime canon timeline, we had learned that Madison had filmed the entire fight between everyone in the park in Academy City. And not surprisingly, since we were very adamant on not letting such a video tape get out there. We had told her to make sure not to show it to anyone. Because as already stated, that would wind up causing quite a lot of trouble for all of us. Because why wouldn't it.
But anyways, as I had said to Sakura more then two years ago at Penguin Park, during the incident with the water vortexes. The world of magic is something that is always changing, and until we passed the cards onto someone else, we were always going to be met with challenges. Because, as it always seemed to be the case, fate and destiny waited for no one, regardless of who they were, and both me and Sakura were no exception to this, as it would become clear later on.
Well, I guess a Cardcaptors job really is never truly done is it? So as it was discovered earlier, that all of the star cards in our transformed book, had suddenly gone transparent and clear. Not to mention that both Sakura and I seemed to have another recurring dream like we used to have with the Final Judgment and the Final Test. However, this was was wildly different then those dreams. And when I say wildly different, I mean that the respective Star keys that we both had in our hands in that dream, were not only our Star keys anymore, but were in fact new keys. This consisted of the same wings from before, albeit a bit smaller, but the star in the middle was larger, as was the ring it was inside, and the star had many more points to it. But, this was made even weirder, when we were woken up by Kero during the wild dream, being told that we were having a nightmare, only to discover, that when we lifted up each of our hands that had held the keys in our dream, sure enough, they were present in our hand, just as they had been in the dream.
But, this was kind of all not on either Sakura, me or Kero's mind at the current moment, and this was largely due to the fact that we were currently being assaulted by an unknown force, that seemed to have the ability to conjure up gale force winds and throw them in our direction.
It was then that I realized, as I am sure Sakura did realize this too, that we couldn't defend ourselves, since all of our star cards had become clear and transparent.
"Okay this just got really really bad," I thought to myself, as I dodged out of the way of yet another gale force blast of wind that was thrown at me out of nowhere.
"Sakura, Zachary, use your...Oh wait, you both can't do anything with clear Clow Cards!" Kero, who was currently involved in the same situation as both me and Sakura said.
"Oh yeah that's right, me and Sakura can't use the Clow Cards, as they all became clear for some unknown reason! Wait, me and Sakura still have our keys! Well, I mean they did both change. But I don't think that me and Sakura have any other option available to us. Well then, here goes nothing!" I then proceeded to think to myself.
And as I then pulled went and pulled out my respective key, to which Sakura did the same, we both then readied ourselves to call upon our respective staffs. "Release!" Me and Sakura then proceeded to chant together in unison.
However even though our staffs grew to full size, I then realized that because they were new staffs, our old incantations would be of no use.
So after some thought, me and Sakura tried to activate our new Dream keys in order to seal the force that had been attacking both of us. "Force that has no owner, obey our staffs of dreams, accept our power! Secure!" We chanted in unison as the unknown force was sucked into our respective staffs.
This wound up being transformed into a clear card with a transparent design, which was different from that of the clow cards and star cards that me and Sakura had seen, and on the bottom of the card was a single word, which was Gale.
It was then that I knew, as I held the card in my hand, that another exciting adventure, for the both of us, had now begun.
