Things had once agaiuro normal, and both Sakura and I were taking the time to tidy up the yard on the side of the house. And unfortunately, both Sakura and I were still feeling exhausted from the fact that the more clow cards that we seemed to transform into star cards, the more energy we seemed to lose. This became abundantly apparent that as both Sakura and I were sweeping a part of the yard, we both started to waiver slightly, and we would've almost toppled over, had we both not used our respective brooms as leverage to sturdy ourselves. A short time ter, Eli stopped by and offered to help. Like before, I was still on edge when it came to him, but yet again i chose to put that aside for the moment. However, while Sakura and I were busy doing other things around the yard after Eli had offered to move Tori's bike, her of us were able to see Eli pce his hand over the seat of Tori's bike and ent it.
Later that night, with Kero also being in the room, Sakura and I came in and then colpsed on our respective beds. We then decided to take a look at the star and clow cards that were presiding iransformed clow book that had our respective names on it. However, when Sakura went and touched the clow cards after the star cards had been removed from the book, as did I, we both noticed that they both felt cold and distant. Kero expihat because the star cards were drawing their powers from us, the clow cards as a result were now starting to lose their magic over time. Sakura asked Kero what could happen if the clow cards lost all of their magic. Kero the on to say that those cards spirits would be set free and would cause all kinds of havoowing Sakura all too well, I khat she wasn't going to be taking what Kero had said lightly. "We o do something before their powers fade pletely Zachary!" Sakura said as she turo me with an expression of despair on her face. "I uand that Sakura, but we 't just go and make rash decisions!" I said in response. Unfortunately, my respoo Sakura may as well have fell on deaf ears, as she decided at that very moment to go and hastily pull out her key. And not wanting to challenge her as, seeing as how I didn't even attempt to do this back when we were capturing the Snow card (a/n: see chapter 40). When Sakura had had her watch, which had been given to her as a present, ripped from her wrist and had gotten very mad as a result. I decided at that point to follow suit, as I too pulled out my respective key. Because, when it came to Sakura, and her wanting to do something, it was very difficult for me to want to challenge her as if she was this set on really doing something and instead just tell her no. "Key of the star, with power burning bright, reveal the staff, and shine yht, Release!" we ted in unison. I then with a thought of knowing that this wouldn't end well, threw several of the untransformed clow cards up into the air, to which they then spread out into a circle around me and Sakura. With both of our transformed staffs now in hand, we proceeded to point each of our respective staffs at each of the cards, saying each corresponding name, and transf them into a star card. However, whe to the Dash card, both of us had almost exhausted all of id not only did it not ge over to a star card, but it the rogue, escaped out the window, possessed Tori's bike, and then took off into the night.
A little bit ter after the rogue dash card spirit took trol over Tori's bike and took off into the night. Kero, Sakura and I had taken off after it, and while on the way, Kero had scolded the both of us for making such a brash decisio came to transf all of those clow cards into star cards in rapid succession. Well, he had scolded Sakura for making the decision, and me more for not willing to challenge her as or the decision to gh with it. It was then that I suggested using the Loop card to trap the rogue Dash card in a tinuous loop so that we both could give ourselves a better ce of catg it. Once Sakura agreed to my idea, I pulled out the Loop card, threw it up into the air and then Sakura and I raised our respective staffs, "we call upon the power of our stars, a forear and far, Loop card discard your fht, and draw your power from ht, star card!" we ted in unison. And ohe Loop card stopped spinning, and had taken on the symbol and design like all of the other transformed star cards, a familiar line appeared oreet. And oori's bike that had been possessed by the rogue dash card spirit passed over that li was trapped in a tinuous loop. And after a few more tries, Sakura and I mao catch it. After the Dash card spirit escaped from Tori's bike and struggled for a few seds in Sakura's embrace, Sakura and I forted it, allowing it to calm down. And ohat had been done, we transformed it into a star card like the others. And while this had been a long and harrowing chase, deep down, the both of us somehow khat we still had a long way to go. But, after a discussion with Kero, we decided that we were only going to transform the clow cards into star cards at least o a time wheime seemed appropriate, rather than making a rash decision like this again.
