| Sakura, Madison, and Kero barely gets back in the antique store. | |
| Sakura&Kero | Ahh... |
| Madison | Sakura? |
| Sakura | I guess it was all my fault. |
| Kero | Come on, don't say that. It wasn't you. It was the woman on the book. |
| Sakura | Book... The book! |
| Kero | Speaking of which. |
| Madison | What book? |
| Kero | A magical book that accesses a gate to a different dimension. The dimension we were just in. |
| Sakura is looking for the book, to and fro in the store. | |
| Madison | So we'll find the book, we can save everyone. What kind of was it? |
| Kero |
It was an... an old book, with a strange aura. Huh? The aura's diappeared! |
| Sakura | It's not here. It's gone! |
| Kero | Sakura. |
| Sakura | Li, Meilin, Tori, and Julian. |
| Kero |
Don't lose hope! We'll find the way back in there and save them. Daaah! That woman! I remember her now! |
| Clerk | [From upstairs] Is that someone down there? I will be right way over to you. |
| Madison | Huh! Someone's coming! |
| Kero | Let's get outa here. |
| Madison | Sakura. |
| Sakura's gang leave the store. | |
| Clerk | How can I help you? Mmm? Mmm? |
At their hotel room: | |
| Kero | Her name was Sui Yan. She used to read poeple's forturne on the surface of water. |
| Sakura | Fortuneteller? |
| Kero |
Yeah. Clow Reed never spoke about it. But the story was that one day Sui Yan bumped into a man on the steet, they fell down in love with each other in a very moment. |
| Sakura | Go on. |
| Kero | At the time Clow Reed's magic had grown increasingly so powerful. As he and Sui Yan grew closer, he told her how to use magic. But she began to use her magic for evil instead of good. Clow Reed was only one powerful enough to stop her. And now she had tried to destroy him. He learned another plan and created another dimension in which to imprison her. |
| Madison | That was so long ago. Shouldn't she be dead by now? |
| Kero | She is. It's her spirit. |
| Sakura | Her spirit? |
| Kero | Her world is a different kind of dimension and the one that really in there. Somehow when she died her sprit must have come trapped inside. She may not even realized she's dead. It's a very complicated spell, Sakura. Clow Reed must have known that she could escape from the moral prison using her magic. |
| Sakura | So where is the book fed into this whole thing? |
| Kero | Simple. She needed to lure him into the dimension to escape. |
| Madison | Maybe that explains why you were drawn to with aura. You have the Clow Cards. |
| Sakura | If that's true, I should be able to get back inside the dimension again. But how can I do it without the book? |
| Kero | Mmm. Hard to say. There is usually more than one trail into a dimension like that. But the energy already disappeared from the shop we were in today. |
| Sakura |
And the book isn't around any more either. Book. |
| Sakura recall the aspect of the book. | |
| Sakura | Kero, I know the place on the cover of that book! |
| Kero | What? |
| Sakura |
It's the place where the woman was sitting. It's the well! |
| In Sakura's mind, the well on the book and the one where she was the day before overlaps. | |
| Kero | Hey, what? Did you figure something out? |
| Sakura | Yeah, I know where the entrance is! I was just there yesterday! |
| Madison | Hey, way to go! Now we can go find the others. |
| Sakura | Yeah! |
| Kero | All right! Now that's why I make you the cardcaptor. |
| Sakura | Mm-hmm. |
| Madison | And I brought a perfect battle costume! |
| Sakura | Uh-huh... [Collapes] |
After dark, Sakura, Madison, and Kero fly to the mysterious well surrounded by tall buildings. They slowly descend and land on the spot. | |
| Kero | So this is it? |
| Sakura | Yeah. |
| Kero | Mmm, there's a really strong energy coming from it. |
| When Sakura steps closer to the well, the force field encloses the well. | |
| All | Unh, uhh! |
| Sakura steps forward. | |
| Madison | Sakura, don't! |
| When she touches the force field with her staff, the force field repells the staff. | |
| Sakura | Huh! What is that?! |
| Kero | It's a force field! |
| Sakura | Force field? |
| Kero | A powerful spiritual boundary is beging created around this well. |
| Madison | But, what can we do? |
| Kero | Not much. Clow Reed created this barrier, and he has much stronger magical powers than we do. |
| Sakura | But how do we... |
| Kero | Huh? |
| Madison | What is it, Kero? |
| Kero | Somebody's coming. |
| They see someone coming toward them, walking through between the building. | |
| Madison | Quich, in here! [Pointing to inside Sakura's back ribbon] |
| Kero | Whoa, uhh. |
| Sakura&Madison | Hoa! |
| Sakura | What's Li's mom doing here? |
| Yelan | Stand back. |
| Sakura | But we already tried that. |
| Yelan | Li's presence has disappeared. |
| Sakura | I know. It's my fault. |
| Yelan | That is not true. His powers were no much for her magic. But yours make. |
| Yelan concentrate her power into her paper fan, and thrusts it into the force field. | |
| Kero | She is very powerful. |
| Yelan thrusts her arm forward, then the force field splits up. | |
| Sakura&Madison | Whoa... |
| Yelan | Go, Sakura. |
| Sakura | Madison, you stay here. |
| Madison | Are you sure? |
| Sakura runs inside the force field. | |
| Madison | Please be careful, Sakura. |
| Sakura | Yeah, I will. Thanks for the battle costume. |
| Madison | It's made of all water-resistant materials, so will keep you in the water. |
| Sakura gets inside the well, so Yelan takes herself off the force field, when she staggers; Madison catches her. | |
| Madison | Come back, soon. |
Sakura and Kero are slowing sinking deep into the well. | |
| Sakura | Where are we? |
| Kero | It's an energy tunnel. A passageway. Take a good look. This thing connects to thousands of different dimensions. If we get lost, we'll be never able to get out. |
| Sakura | So where do we go? |
| Kero | Use your thoughts. Concentrate your energy on the place you wish to be. Your thoughts will guide you there. |
| Sakura | I want to go over to my friends being kept. |
| One of the entrances of worlds falshes. | |
| Kero | That's it! |
| Sakura and Kero enters the world. Sakura lands in a sharrow pond encircled by old houses. | |
| Sakura | Where are we? I don't think we came out in the right place, Kero. |
| Kero | Wait. This aura—it's... |
| At this moment, Sakura and Kero happen to see the mystrious birds fly. | |
| Sakura | Huh?! |
| Kero | That way! |
| Sakura and Kero chases the birds from street to street. | |
| Sakura | Huh? Bird Street! |
| Kero | It's like a bunch of different dimensions are merged together. Keep going! |
| Sakura | OK. |
| Sakura gets in a narrow path, and keep looking for the mystrious aura from the birds. | |
| Kero | The aura's growing stronger and stronger! It's close now! |
| Sakura and Kero face a big door sitting in their way. | |
| Sakura | The energy is coming from in there. |
| Kero | You're right! |
| Sakura | Unh, unh! |
| Sakura pushes the door open with all her might. The surface of water appears at the doorway. Inside or outside, there seems to be a difference in sense of upside-down. | |
| Sakura | Huph! |
| Kero | Ready? |
| Sakura | Y-yeah. |
| Sakura walks down into the water. Kero takes a deep breath and follows her. | |
| When Sakura and Kero is getting deeper, the view around them changes a little. Sakura and Kero swim upward. She breaks the surface to find herself in fron of the sorceress. | |
| Sorceress | You again. Why did you return? |
| Sakura | I want my friends back. |
| Sorceress | If you want me to return them to you, you must bring Clow Reed to me. |
| Kero | I've already told you we can't do that! Clow Reed is... |
| Sorceress | I've been waiting all this time. Wait for him to set... me free. |
| Kero | Won't you just listen to what I'm trying to tell you?! Jeez! |
| Sakura | She won't listen. |
| The place begins to vibrate. | |
| Kero | Uhh, what's going on? |
| Sakura | It's an earthquake! |
| Pillars around Sakura are breaking down into water. | |
| Sakura | Uhh... unh. |
| Sakura's friends and Tori encapuselated in the magical balls are slowly pulled closer to the sorceress. | |
| Sakura | Huh? |
| The sorceress sucks up them to grow more powerful. | |
| Sakura | There they are! |
| Sorceress | I will ask you one last time. Where is Clow Reed? |
| Kero | That's what we're trying to tell you! Clow Reed is dead! |
| Sorceress | In that case, I shall overpower the shield! |
| The sorceress jumps up out using her strengthened magic. | |
Outside, Madison and Yelan are watching the well in a concerned look. The ground rumbles and the well gets torn by the powerful magical power popping out from the well. The magical power shoots a beam upright in the night view in Hong Kong. The Sorceress appears in the night sky. | |
| Sorceress | Huh? This place... |
Insede the well, Sakura and Kero are crouching in the rubbles falling into water. | |
| Kero | Sakura! |
| Sakura |
Right. O Key of Clow, power of magic, power of light. Surrender the wand, the force ignite. Release! Fly! |
Outside the well, Madison worries about Sakura, since she's never shown. | |
| Madison | What's happening? |
| Yelan | They're coming. |
| Sakura flies out in the night sky with a blue flash of light. | |
| Madison | Ah! |
| Sakura looks around in the night sky. | |
| Sakura | Where did she go? |
| Kero | Hey, up there! |
| The sorceress throws blasts of water at Sakura, she dodges them. | |
| Sorceress | What is this place? What have you done with Clow Reed? |
| Sakura | Unh! Clow Reed is dead! |
| Sakura flies through between the building to escape from the blasts of water attacking her. The attack of water becomes rain when it comes down to the street. | |
| Kero | We can't just be burning like this. We've got to hide. |
| Sakura | I can't rescue my friedns! |
| The sorceress shoots her ribbons at Sakura, which traps Sakura. | |
| Sakura | Unh! Kero! |
| Kero | Sakura! |
| Sakura is hoisted on the top of the building under construction. | |
| Sorceress | Now tell me, where is Clow Reed? |
| Sakura | Clow Reed is already dead. |
| Sorceress | You are a liar!! |
| Sakura | No, it is true! He passed away long time ago. |
| Sorceress | He can't be! |
| Sakura | Huh! |
| Sorceress | He can't be dead. Clow Reed can't. |
| Sakura | Huhh... Ohh... Huh? |
| Sakura finds out that the sorceress sucks water from the ocean. The water is swirling fiercely above Sakura, but she can't move because she is tied up with the ribbons. | |
| Sorceress | He trapped me in there. |
| Sakura | Unh! Unh! Unh! |
| Sorceress | I will have my revenge!! |
| The sorcess let the water down on Sakura, and sets a force field to block the water from escaping. So Sakura is trapped deep in water. | |
| Sorceress | I don't even know how long it has... been. All these years, I've used my powers to summon him, to try to escape. I trusted him. Together we could have ruled all the land! What a fool I was. |
| A teardrop from the sorceress drop in the water. | |
| Sakura | Unh! Unh! Unh! |
| The teardrop slowly sinks to Sakura. Seeing the teardrop, Sakura can witness what happened in the past. | |
| Sorceress | Why did you summon me here? |
| Clow | You have disappointed me, Sui Yan. |
| Sorceress | All that I know are learned from you. Join me. Together we will be invincible. |
| Clow | By touching magic, yes. But magic should be used to serve for good. Not as the tool of power of destructure. I'm sorry. But you left me no choice. The person we chose here must end here. |
| The teardop disappears in the water. | |
| Sakura |
The barrette is the third entrance of the dimension.
She's been trapped in the other dimension ever since. Unh! Unh! |
| Sakura struggles to get herself off the ribbons. | |
| Clow | Water is ever flowing. |
| Sakura |
Water is ever flowing. That was Clow Reed's voice. That's it! Arrow! |
| Sakura releases the Arrow Card. The Arrow shoots a number of arrow, which cuts the ribbons restricting Sakura, and breaks the force field. The water all escape and falls from the builing like a waterfall. Sakura jump up in front of the sorceress with the Jump Card. | |
| Sorceress | You again! |
| Sakura steps closer to the sorceress not showing any hostilities. | |
| Sakura |
You felt betrayed by him, didn't you? I'm sure he never meant imprison you forever, Sui Yan. I know he didn't. But he's gone now. I'm sorry you've suffered. But... please let my friends go. |
| Sorceress | Claw Reed—is he really dead? |
| Sakura | Mm-hmm. |
| Sorceress | I've waited for him to come back—to set me free. I wanted to revenge. |
| The sorceress begins fading away, gradually turning into droplets of water. | |
| Sakura | Huh? |
| Sorceress | I was so angry at him—for doing this to me. But he is gone, and I shall go, too. But I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, and all your friends. |
| Remained is her barrette at the place where the sorceress was. | |
| Sakura | All she wanted is to set free and have her spirit move on. She didn't know that Clow Reed had died. It's over. Her spirit can find peace now. |
| The barrette suddenly weathers into pieces, when Tori and Sakura's friends appear back, but in unconcioussness. | |
| Sakura | Li, Meilin, Julian, Tori! You're OK. |
Next day, Sakura's party on the ship for Hong Kong island. | |
| Tori | What was it that we visited yesterday, Julian? |
| Julian | I don't really remember. |
| Tori | Me, neither. |
| Sakura is enjoying the view standing on the deck. | |
| Madison | They don't remember a thing, do they? |
| Sakura | Nop. |
| Kero | It's probably for the best. I don't know how to explain it. |
| Sakura | Well, maybe next time... |
| Kero | Huh? |
| Sakura |
I think we'll be back again soon.
I've got a feeling we haven't seen the last of this place.
That sorceress may have seemed evil, but she just wanted her spirits
to be set free. I'm glad my friends are OK, too. Heh heh heh |
| Madison videotapes Sakura. | |
| Madison | Well, if you come back to Hong Kong one day, count me in. |
| Sakura | Heh heh, you bet! |
