Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: The Show Must Go On!: What It Is Like To Have Your Voice Stolen!

Okay, so it had been about a week. Though it may have been a little bit more or less then that. Which was not as easy for me to tell as I thought it was, since time in the Cardcaptor anime canon timeline. Though it moved as time usually did in the real world. I still wasn't able to properly gauge, just how long it had actually since me and Sakura had succeeded in the capturing of the Snow Card. Mind you, this was after a bit of us having to deal with the fact that the Snow Card spirit was constantly chasing after us with a whirlwind of snow. But, after the Snow Card spirit wound up snatching Sakura's watch that had been given to her as a gift earlier in that day. And with me not wanting to challenger Sakura when she was as ticked off about it as she was. Me and Sakura, were then able to properly capture and seal the Snow Card spirit, with the use of the Fire Card spirit, that me and Sakura had captured at the fairgrounds with Li back on Christmas of the previous year. But however, this was not the current thing on either me or Sakura's mind.

And the reason as to why this was currently the case, was due to our most recent encounter with a Clow Card spirit, which was known as the Voice Card, had gone and stolen Madison's voice. Which was a big problem, since she was due to sing at our schools upcoming festival. And to be honest, this current problem, was really becoming a real head scratcher for me, Sakura, and Li.

Because not only had Madison literally had her voice stolen by the Voice Card spirit. But because of this, me, Sakura, and Li now had to think of a way to draw the Voice Card spirit out, and get Madison's voice back in time for her to sing at the school's festival. But thankfully, while me, Sakura, and Li were busy at Madison's house, while in deep thought of a way to try and draw out the Voice Card spirit, I then had a very brilliant idea, that would help us to accomplish just that.

"Hey, I've got an idea. So the Song Card spirit still has the ability to sing a song in Madison's voice right?" I proceeded to say to both Sakura and Li. Which after I had said this statement, they both then proceeded to look at me with a bit of confusion. Which was due in a large part to me having said my statement in a somewhat confusing sort of manner.

And upon me then realizing this as well, I then proceeded to say my statement again. But only this time, I proceeded to say it in a much more simpler manner.

"Sakura, do you remember when Madison helped us to capture and seal the Song Card spirit by singing one of her favorite songs? I mean after all, didn't the Song Card copy Madison's voice during that instance as well?" I proceeded to say to Sakura. Which thankfully, then wound up doing the trick.

"So what you're saying is that if we use the Song Card spirit, and have it sings Madison's song in her voice, then it will help to draw out the Voice Card?" Sakura proceeded to respond back to me with saying. Which was so that she could make sure that that was what I had been trying to convey to her and Li with my statement.

And with me then proceeding to nod back to Sakura, in order to let her know that this was in fact what I had been trying to convey. Me and Sakura, then proceeded to pull out our respective Clow Keys. "Key of Clow, power of magic, power of light, surrender the wand, the force ignite, release!" Me and Sakura both proceeded to chant together in unison. Which was then quickly followed about a split second or two later, by the all too familiar sensation, of the wind proceeding to pick up, and then blow through me and Sakura's hair.

And, like all of the other times, both of our respective Clow keys quickly expanded into our respective Clow staffs. Which we proceeded to quickly grab, with a quick one handed, and overhanded downward grasp. Which was then quickly followed by us both then proceeding to twirl our respective Clow staffs, and then strike our respective battle ready posses. And it was then, that me and Sakura proceeded to ready ourselves to seal the Voice Card spirit. And then, I pulled out the Song Card, and me and Sakura then proceeded to raise our respective Clow staffs.

"Song Card, come to our aid, let us hear your beautiful voice. Song Card, Release and Dispel!" Me and Sakura proceeded to chant together in unison. To which we then swung our respective Clow staffs down and hit the Song card at the same time with the tips of our respective staffs.

And once the Song Card spirit then appeared, it then started singing in Madison's voice. "A twinkle in the night sky, far far away. Golden star I gazed upon in my dreams. On a sleepless evening, I sing alone. Tomorrow, I'll wait for you, on a wings of a dream," The Song Card spirit then sang in Madison's voice.

And as I had intended, it didn't take that long at all for the Voice Card spirit to appear. And as it appeared, and then proceeded to look aimlessly around the room. It then caught sight of me, Sakura and Li. And that was when the Voice Card spirit, then tried to escape through the windows of the room that me, Sakura, and Li were currently in.

But thankfully...

"Not so fast!" Li proceeded to shout out, as he then proceeded to use several of his element talismans, to seal off the windows so that the Voice Card spirit couldn't escape. And without either of us wanting to waste another second of time. Me and Sakura once again proceeded to then raise our respective Clow staffs. "Voice Card, we command you to return to your power confined, Voice!" Me and Sakura proceeded to chant in unison, as we then proceeded to swing our respective Clow staffs down at exactly the same time.

And, with the all too familiar appearance of the light blue aura glowing Clow Card halves then suddenly materializing on the tips of our respective staffs. And after the Voice Card spirit had been broken down, and was then sucked into our respective Clow Card halves. To which both of the Clow Card halves had then combined together in order to form a complete and whole Clow Card, the Voice Card spirit was captured and sealed.

But this, was only the beginning. And we still had somewhat of a long way to go.
