Cardcaptor Torika & Cardcaptor AshleeBy AshTwo Cardcaptors from alternate universes, Two Sets of Cards, Brought together for a mysterious battle… Reedington/ Downtown Late for an all important meeting with her friends, Torika was running at the speed of light down the main street of town. Torika: Oh man! Why did Kero have to take the batteries outta my clock again! It's starting to bug me! Suddenly a strong vibe makes Torika stop. She looked around her but saw nothing. Torika: What was that?! I thought I sensed something familiar…Guess it's nothing. *Looks at watch* MAA!! I'm late!! *Slumps onto the ground* Man! I'm such a flake, I should just give up. ???: That's not true! Torika looked up and saw a short brown haired teenager wearing black skivvy and trousers under a purple dress carrying a pink backpack. Torika looked at her curiously. Torika: Umm… ???: Excuse me. Someone wise once told me that there is no point in giving up when you've tried so hard already! Just keep trying and trying! You'll do it! The teenager smiled and skipped away happily. Torika stood up confused. Torika: …Who was that? Is she a foreigner? **** While skipping along down the path a muffled voice came from the teen's back pack. ???: Ashlee! Ashlee!! It's too stuffy in here! Can I come out now?!! Ashlee: SHH! Keep quiet! I don't want to attract people's attention! And in case you haven't realised we are in big trouble! ???: Don't worry. The most important thing is to get back home and keep your cards from harm! Ashlee: Come on Man! Who have you been trusting this whole time Huh? **** Ikeido Shrine After finally making it to Hana's place, Torika was all puffed out while her friends Maddy, Tai and Hana were poking fun at her. Maddy: Geezes Torika! Even Tai managed to get here and he too slept in late! Tai: That's not funny! Hana: Should I get some water for you Miss.Torika? Torika: No-No. It's alright. Suddenly without warning a giant shot of lightning struck near Tai, it made him jump. Tai: YAAAAAHHHHH!!! Tai fainted from shock Maddy: Tai!! Hana: NOOO!!! TAI!! Torika: He's fainted from the shock he's fine! But-- Torika and her friends watch as lightning started shooting around like crazy causing power problems in the city. Torika felt the same familiar vibe shoot through her. Torika's Mind: Something isn't right! I know I've felt this before! But where?! Suddenly the teenager from before ran passed Torika in a hurry. Ashlee: I knew there was a card that followed me! Torika: Huh?!! Card?!! Maddy: Torika look!! Torika looked as the teenager took out from under her skivvy a small key that had a star with wings and a symbol started to glow underneath her. Torika's mind: What in the world?! Ashlee: Key of the stars with powers burning bright! Reveal the staff and shine your light! RELEASE!! In a giant flash of light the key transformed into a staff. Torika, Maddy and Hana stood in shock. Torika: NO WAY!! THAT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE!! The teenager pulls out a pink card and summons it with her staff. Ashlee: Jump Card! RELEASE!! Torika: JUMP CARD?!!! The teenager started jumping around at amazing heights. Torika pulled out from her pocket her Heart Cards and found her Jump Card. Torika: How is this even possible?!! I have the jump card here! Maddy: Then if that's the jump card, what is THAT she just used?!! Torika: !!! Ashlee: Okay! Kero! What should I do?! I'm catching up to it! Suddenly a yellow bear with wings and a long tail popped out of the teenager's backpack and started following her. Kero2: Not all of your cards is strong enough against Thunder! Try to not get electrocuted by it! Ashlee: *Sarcastically* WOW!! You THINK?! The teenager looks up and sees the Thunder Card charging after her. Ashlee's Mind: Have to think fast or I'm as good as cooked! The teenager pulls out the Shadow Card and summons it with her staff. Ashlee: Shadow Card! Form a cage around Thunder! RELEASE!!! Shadows started pouring out of the Shadow card and it catches the Thunder Card in a big black ball. Ashlee: I Command you to return to the form you're meant to be!! THUNDER CARD!!! With her staff in the air the teenager sealed the Thunder Card back into a Star Card in a big flash of light. Ashlee: Alright! I caught The Thunder Card! Did you see that Kero?!! But when she turned around, he was gone. Ashlee: Na? Kero? Ashlee then found Kero being attacked by Torika's hands of doom as she was pulling his wings. Kero2: Ahhh!! Hey kid! Cut that out!! I ain't a toy!! Torika: Okay Kero! Start Talking what's going on?! Who is she?!! Kero2: Huh?! Who are you?! How do you know who I am? Torika: Have you lost your brain idiot! It's me Torika!! TO-RI-KA!! Kero2: Torika? I have to admit it doesn't ring a bell squirt. Torika: You-You don't remember me? Maddy: Oh no! What if he caught amnesia?! Ashlee: Umm…Hello? Torika, Maddy, Kero, Tai and Hana looked behind them and saw the teenager looking at Kero confused. Ashlee: Do you know these kids Kero? Kero2: Never met them! Please help me! Torika: Excuse me but how do you know Kero?! And what was THAT you just did?! Because I'm kind of confused about what just happened. Ashlee: Ahhh….Well ummm…*Getting nervous* Torika: Cause what you just did can't be possible because I have the Jump Card HERE! Torika shows her Jump Card and Ashlee is stunned. Ashlee: WOW! It's Jump but it looks so different compared to my version. Kero2: Maybe we should explain ourselves in private Torika's Room Torika poked her head from her bedroom door and didn't see her dad or anywhere. Torika: Okay it's clear! Dad and isn't home. Ashlee, Torika, Maddy and Hana were inside having a private meeting. Ashlee: I've never thought I'd see the day… Maddy: No Kidding… Everyone was looking at the fact that there were 2 Keros in the room. Kero1: Wow! I can't believe how awesome I look! Kero2: I agree with you buddy! We are G-O-O-D Lookin'! Torika: *Sweat Drops on head*…And I thought 1 Kero was annoying enough Ashlee: *Sweat Drops on head*…You can say that again. Kero2: AHEM! Okay back on the topic let me start from the beginning. Torika: Go ahead. Kero2: Me and Ashlee were out capturing the Thunder Card when this weird vortex opened up and brought us here in your city. Maddy: Catching?! Ashlee: Yeah. The Star Cards I promised Kero I'd catch…Although I've only caught 10 so far. Ashlee shows the Star Cards she caught. Windy, Fly, Shadow, Watery, Rain, Wood, Jump, Illusion, Silent and the recently caught Thunder Card. Maddy: Of course! *Jumps up all of a sudden* I know what's going on now! Torika: What Maddy?! Maddy: They're from an Alternate World! Torika: MAA?!!! Ashlee: Yeah! My thoughts exactly! Kero1: So uhh…What's your name anyway? Ashlee: Oh I'm sorry! I haven't introduced myself! My name is Ashlee. Torika: I'm Torika! Kero1: Keroberos, but call me Kero. Maddy: I'm Maddy! Nice too meet you! Hana: And I'm Hana. Miko in training at your service. Ashlee: Hey what about that kid that looks like you uhh…Maddy? Maddy: Oh! You mean my Twin brother Tai. He still hasn't woken up from the Alternate Thunder Card's attack on the town. Ashlee: Does he know about the cards? Maddy: No But he is the- Torika quickly covers Maddy's mouth and they turn around to whisper with Kero1. Torika: Maddy. I don't think we should mention Yue. She's still capturing the cards. Kero1: Right. She must not know anything about him or the Final Judgement after she captures all the star cards. Ashlee: Na? Guys! Is everything okay? Torika, Maddy and Kero1 quickly turn around to Ashlee and Kero2. Torika: Yep! Everything is fine! Kero1: Anyway as I was gonna ask you. How did you come across the Star Cards in your world? Ashlee: Umm…Well I found the book containing the cards inside a shed out the back of my house. I opened it and read out the Windy Card's name and all the cards blew away in a giant gust of wind. Then Kero told me to get them all back and made me Cardcaptor. Kero2: A long time ago. Sakura Avalon the previous Cardcaptor and her fiancée Li Showron took a holiday to Ashlee's home country, Australia. Hana: Wait! Miss. Ashlee! You're Australian?! Ashlee: Yup! Sure am! Torika: Guess they really don't talk like that hunter guy on TV does. Ashlee: *gets a kill look on her face that freaks Torika out* … Torika: Oh! S-Sorry! Didn't know that offended you! Ashlee: We-Don't-Talk-Like-That! Kero2: AHEM!! As I was saying. Sakura almost lost the Star Cards to a mysterious witch who followed her to Australia. After that Sakura and I realised that we had to seal the cards away for good to keep others from taking them from us. A young pregnant woman with a son had helped Sakura keep the cards safe from the witch. Ashlee: My Mum!! Kero2: Me, Sakura and Li could sense magic powers from the to-be bundle of Joy. Ashlee: That's Me!!! *Big Smile* Torika's Mind: How old is she again? Kero2: To keep Sakura and Li from danger Ashlee's Mum agreed to keep the sealed cards safe with her and if they were somehow released again her daughter will become Cardcaptor to re-capture them. Maddy: Wow! That really is an Alternate World you come from Ashlee. Torika: Yeah. My Mummy hasn't been Australia or knows anyone from there. Ashlee: Wait! Your Mum is Sakura?! Torika: Yes! She is! Ashlee: What is she like? Torika has a sad look on her face. Torika: …I don't know…She-She's been in a coma since I was very little. Ashlee: *Big Shock* GASP!! Kero2: COMA?!! HOW?!! Torika: A car hit her. Because I was chasing a butterfly…It's most likely my fault. Ashlee gives Torika a hug. Ashlee: I'm so sorry. But you can't be blamed for what happened. Torika: …Thanks. Hana: So what now? Kero1: Well now we know the story behind this phenomenon. But now we have to find a way to get Ashlee and Alternate Me back to their world. The question is how? Hana: That…That is a good question… Maddy: Torika. Isn't there a card you can use to send them back? Torika: No. None. Kero1: Maybe this is another test for you Torika in transforming the cards. Torika: Maybe Kero. Ashlee: Na?! Transforming the cards?? Torika: Oh yeah. I'm currently transforming the cards into Heart Cards. My Own Cards. Ashlee: Ohhh! So that explains the different colour of our cards. Kero1: Please don't tell me you just figured that out now… *Tear drop* Ashlee: *Ticked off* So what?! Ever think I'm colour blind?!! Kero1: Uhh…No…Are you? Ashlee: *Laughs* He! He! He! Nope. But I've could've been! *Smiles* Kero1: *Anime falls with feet(?) in the air* Suddenly the room disappears and only darkness surrounds them. Torika: W-What's going on?!! Kero1: Is it the Alternate Shadow Card?!! Ashlee: No! I've already caught that card! *Shows Star Card* Kero2: I don't know about you guys but I have a bad feeling about this! Maddy: I'm scared!! Suddenly Ashlee and Torika's clothing changed to costumes. Torika was in a purple and black frilly dress with a black cape with a big purple heart on it and Ashlee was in a white and light blue jester costume with a white cape with a light blue heart on it. Torika: H-Huh?!! Ashlee: What's with these costumes?!! Maddy: They're so cute!!! *love heart eyes* Let me take a picture of you two!! *Gets out camera* Ashlee: Maddy! I don't think now is the right time for that!! Torika: Agreed!! Maddy: P-Please!!! *Puppy Eyes* Ashlee's Mind: Ah. The puppy eyes… Torika's Mind: They get me every time… Ashlee and Torika and the Two Keros (Both wearing costumes identical to their Cardcaptor's costumes) pose for Maddy's Camera which she starts pressing the shutter like crazy. Ashlee: Torika…Is it always like this? Torika: Definitely. Kero1: Girls! We have to do something to get out of this!! Kero2: I agree other me! We must do something! Hana: I'm already on it! *With that stick thing with that streamer on it and starts swinging it around* DEMONIC INFLUENCE DESIST!!! Nothing happens. Ashlee: uhh…Was something supposed to happen? Hana: I don't understand! If this isn't a demonic influence then someone is doing it out of their own Volition! Ashlee: Na?? Kero2: Volition is another word for decision, choice or will. Ashlee: Ah! I see! Torika: Alternate Kero, What teenager doesn't know a word like that? Is she in High school or just held back? Kero2: Actually she's in her last year of school…But she needs help…Sh-She has Asperger's Syndrome Torika: A-Asparagus Syndrome?? Maddy: No Torika Asperger's Syndrome. It's a form of Autism. She has difficulty in things others don't. Torika: …Ooohhh! I get it now! ???: ENOUGH OF THIS FOOLISHNESS!!! Ashlee and Torika jump in shock. Ashlee: NAAA!!! Torika: MAAA!!! A long black haired woman appeared in a black Miko outfit and her hair in buns. Kero2: AHH!! I recognise her anywhere!! Kero1: Alternate me? Kero2: That's the witch who tried to take the cards from Sakura!! Ashlee, Torika, Maddy, Hana, Kero1: GASP!!! ???: Ho! Ho! Ho! Well. Well Keroberos. We meet again. I didn't recognise you. The witch turns her attention to Ashlee. ???: Oh! You're the daughter of that Australian. I've noticed you've started being the New Cardcaptor. I know you've only started and have a small amount of the cards but no worries. The witch turns her attention to Torika. ???: But with this world's Cardcaptor's cards both world's cards will be all I need! Ashlee: Why do you want our cards?! Torika: If they are re-released they will bring disaster!! ???: Release them? Ho! Ho! Ho! I don't want to release them. Ashlee: Then you can't have them!! They're rightfully mine and this worlds cards are rightfully Torika's!! Torika: Right!! ???: Ho! Ho! Ho! I don't want to keep them. Kero1: Then WHAT?!! ???: To ABSORB THEM!! Ashlee, Torika, Kero1, Kero2, Maddy and Hana are in shock. ???: I want to be more powerful! And those cards are the keys to the power I need to gain!! Kero2: Y-You're insane! This is why you attacked Sakura in the past?!! Just to get stronger?!! ???: Enough talk! HAND THE CARDS OVER TO ME!!! Ashlee & Torika: NEVER!!! ???: I see…It's not my intention to get rid of you kids. But it seems I have no choice… Black energy balls was being created in the palms of her hands and she then shot them at the Cardcaptors. Ashlee: Watch out!!! Ashlee pushes Torika out of the way and they doge the energy balls. Torika: Thanks! Ashlee: Let's use the cards against her! Torika: Right! Both Ashlee and Torika hold up their keys and different symbols glow underneath them. Torika: Key of my heart! With the power of love and light unveil the sceptre and unleash my might!! Ashlee: Key of the stars! with powers burning bright reveal the staff and shine your light!! Torika & Ashlee: RELEASE!!! In a big flash of light their keys transformed into their staffs. Ashlee: WATERY!! Torika: FIREY!! Ashlee and Torika summoned Fiery and Watery to attack the witch but she just doges and fires more energy balls at the Cardcaptors. Torika: SHIELD!! Torika summons the shield to protect both her and Ashlee. Ashlee: Thanks Torika! Torika: Let's try attacking again! Ashlee: WINDY!! Torika: EARTHY!! Ashlee and Torika summon Windy and Earthy to attack the witch but she doges again. ???: Your attacks won't work on me. Kero1: She's right! We're just repeating this in an infinite loop! We have to change our strategy! Torika: But we have to stop her! How else will we get out of here? Kero1: Not everything can be solved with fighting! Kero2: Wait! Hey Hana! Didn't you say this witch is doing this of her own will?!! Hana: Yes. Why? Kero2: If that's true then we gotta find out why she's doing this! Torika: Good thinking! Ashlee: But how?! She's pretty persistent on getting our card's powers! Kero2: *Ticked off* You're the high school student!! If you're so smart you figure it out!! Ashlee: Maybe I will!! Torika: This isn't the time to be fighting! Kero1: Come on you two!! ???: This is starting to bore me! The witch creates more energy balls but this time aims them at Hana and Maddy. Ashlee: HANA!! Torika: MADDY!! Ashlee's Mind: I've got to stop her! I've got to stop her! Ashlee runs towards Hana and Maddy and stands in front of them. Ashlee: Please stop!! You can't hurt innocent people like that! Don't you have any heart?!! The witch suddenly stopped and had an image flash in her head of a man as Ashlee's actions made her think of him. ???: …Shichiro… Torika: Ma? Ashlee: Na? The witch suddenly drops to her knees and starts crying. Ashlee and Torika curiously walk up to the witch to see why this sudden change of events. Ashlee: Why are you crying? ???: W-Why should you care?! You're just kids! You don't understand Ashlee: Actually I'm a young adult. So I'm technically not a kid Torika: I'm gonna be in the 5th grade after the holidays are over…I-If that helps? ???: …Very well. Then here's why. My husband was a doctor named Shichiro. We lived together in harmony looking after a lost angel trying to find her master. She taught me all there is to know about magic. However Shichiro was in work when he came across something he shouldn't have, he was hit over the head with a blunt object and had died. Ashlee: Died?! No! ???: That's right…I've never figured out who killed him. But I thought using the magic the sweet angel taught me I thought there would be a way to bring him back to life. The angel refused and went back to heaven. With the pain caused by the death of my beloved Shichiro…I was then confronted by a demon who offered me information on Magic cards for free. Ashlee: Why?! ???: Apparently the angel I looked after and the demon were always at each other's necks over who's fatter Torika & Ashlee: *Sweat drops on heads* ??! ???: Anyway. My magic wasn't strong enough the demon told me. He said if I were to absorb the cards powers my magic will be stronger than ever imagined. That's why I wanted the Cards from you girls. I wanted my beloved to be alive so that we can grow old together and die together. Ashlee and Torika turn and look at each other with sad looks on their faces. They felt bad for her. Maddy: Hey Hana did you get all that? Hana: Who'd knew she did all this to bring her husband back from death…How romantic!! *Heart eyes* Kero2: W-Whaa?? Kero1: Best you don't ask. Ashlee: Excuse me. Miss. ???: What is it? Ashlee: I don't think Shichiro would like that. Torika: I agree. ???: W-What do you mean?! He was MURDERED! How could he like being dead after THAT?!! Torika: It would be an insult of his death. ???: What?! Ashlee: What Torika is TRYING to say is that he wouldn't like you to be like this. ???: …I'm afraid I don't follow Ashlee & Torika: *Anime Fall with feet in the air* Kero2: That's random. A flaky witch bent on power. Kero1: Tell me about it… Torika: Tell me, what did he think of you? ???: He loved me everyday. Ashlee: And I bet he died loving you to his last breath and into the next life. Torika: Seeing you hurting people and not acting the way you used to be like would break his heart Ashlee: I bet he wishes to see you happy. ???: To…Be Happy? Ashlee & Torika: Yes! The witch starts to smile happily. ???: I can see now why you two are Cardcaptors. You two have strong hearts. I now see why Shichiro wouldn't be happy if I made other people suffer just to gain power. Thankyou. In return I'll send you all back to your original worlds. The witch uses her powers to open two portals one to Torika's World and the other to Ashlee's world. Torika: Well this looks like goodbye Ashlee. Ashlee: Silly! Goodbyes aren't forever! Torika: Ma? Ashlee: As long as we are in each others hearts, friendship will let us meet again. Torika: …Yeah! You're right! Both Keros were hugging each other while sobbing. Kero2: I- I'm gonna miss you man!! Kero1: I-I don't want me to go!! I love me!! Kero2: I-I know what you mean!! Maddy's mind: This is getting awkward Ashlee: Come on Kero!! If we don't hurry who knows what kind of cards are rampaging our home! Kero2: Oh! okay! Coming! Ashlee and Kero2 head towards the portal looking back at Torika, Maddy, Hana and Kero1 going into the other one. Maddy: Wait! Ashlee: Na?? Torika: What's wrong? Maddy: Can't we take one last picture of all of us?! Just so we won't forget each other?!! *Puppy + Teary eyes* Torika's mind: Yikes the puppy eyes version 2! ???: If you like, I can take the picture! That way all of you can be in it. Maddy: Hey thanks Miss…Uhh…We never got told your name ???: Just call me Chihiro So in one last group photo Chihiro took a picture of Ashlee, Torika, Maddy, Hana, Kero1 and Kero 2 in a happy group photo. Chihiro: Now with my magic. I will transfer the images stored on your camera into actual photos! In a flash of light, 4 photos were made of the just made image. Maddy: Amazing! Super fast! Ashlee: Yeah that was cool! Chihiro: Thankyou. Now go before my magic is drained from keeping the portals opened! Torika: Oh! Right! Ashlee: We better hurry Kero! Kero2: Right! Torika, Maddy, Hana and Kero1 ran to the portal to their world while Ashlee and Kero2 ran to the other portal. Torika: Good luck catching the cards Ashlee!! Ashlee: Thanks!! You too in transforming the cards!! Torika, Hanna, Maddy, Hana & Kero1: See you later someday!! Ashlee & Kero2: Later!!! The two portals closed. Chihiro smiles in contempt of what she has really achieved, a new view in her life. Chihiro: Thankyou Cardcaptors… ???: So did you achieve anything this time than last time? A mysterious man with his face covered in the shadows approaches the witch. Chihiro: Yes. I did. To stop this magic nonsense and re-live the life I lost trying to bring my husband back. Those girls made me realise that. ???: So will you return to your home? Chihiro: Yes. I'll become a doctor! And live happily! ???: Wise decision. So what of Torika? Chihiro: She didn't transform any Star Cards into Heart Cards today…But she did gain more strength in her magic. ???: Good…She'll need it. **** Torika's WorldTorika's Room Torika lay flat on her bed back in her original clothing and stared at the photo of herself, Hana, Maddy, the two Keros and Ashlee. Torika: Hey Kero. Kero1: Hmmm? Torika: You said that was a test to transform the Star Cards to Heart Cards but I didn't transform any today. What kind of test do you think that was? Kero1: I dunno Torika…But I think it'll all be made clear soon. I'm sure of it. Maddy walks in with Tai who had just woken up. Maddy: Hey look who's awake!! Tai: Hey what happened?! I thought we were at Hana's to discuss something about a trip to Torika's uncle's place? Hana: Right! We were but uhh…We panicked and Torika offered her couch for you to rest on. Besides my couch is ruined. *Sweat Drop* Tai: Okay. I see. Maddy: Close call Hana Torika: Hmmm…I wonder how Ashlee and the other Kero is doing? Because I believe she can capture the Star Cards, Just like I can transform all of my Cards and save my mummy from a coma! Torika smiles at the photo. **** Ashlee's WorldTamworth/ Downtown Flower petals were falling all over town, flooding the streets. Ashlee and Kero2 arrive on the scene. Ashlee: Where are all these petals coming from?! Kero2: Let's try looking from above!! Ashlee: Okay!! Fly Card!! Release!! Using her staff, Ashlee summoned Fly and her staff grew wings which she used to fly into the air. Ashlee sees a pink lady dancing around on top of a building with petals coming from her. Ashlee: *Sweat Drop on head* What is this a joke? Kero2: Nope. Flower likes using flowers to liven up the place. Ashlee lands on top of the building and raises her wand. Ashlee: Sorry but we've had enough petal rain for one day! I Command you to return to the form you're meant to be! FLOWER CARD!!! With her staff in the air Ashlee sealed the Flower Card back into a Star Card in a big flash of light. Ashlee: Phew! That was close or the town would've been drowned in flower petals! Kero2: Good thing we've noticed as soon as we got back here! Ashlee looks at the Photo Maddy took of all of them. Ashlee: Hey Kero… Kero2: Yeah? Ashlee: Do you think I can capture all the cards? Kero2: Yeah! So many people believe in you! Me, Torika, Maddy, Hana, Other Me, and I bet even Chihiro does too! Ashlee: Yeah! You're right! I can! Ashlee and Kero2 smile at the photo. |
