Scorpinac: The jump is tied to his goggles since he has to communicate with the home computer in order to make the intredimensional jump. Ok, first, a review suggested that Madison's conception should be a not of forgotten passion between Aidon and Samantha. Thoughts? Second, 20-30 chapters ago you kept asking whether or not the second movie's plot would crop up...well, here it is. Hope you enjoy.

'Now, if I'm right, the card mistress will want to divert my attention from their friends and onto me. Now how to counter that move.' he pondered. His counter card vibrates. "What? A Clow card? Well now, I guess there's something I didn't account for...fate seems to be on my side."

"What?" Lee asked in astonishment. He could believe what she had asked.
"We need to provoke Var into attacking us. Josh can't possible protect Madison. I don't want them getting hurt, Lee." she pleaded. Lee sighed knowing that Sakura was right.
"Sakura, this is risky. If he manages to get that counter card working..."
"We don't have to use the cards. We can use your spells and only use the cards in an emergency situation. Please Lee," she said her eyes pleading and Lee relented.
"Ok, but if it looks like that we need to use a card..."
"We'll use Time to freeze the moment and Dash to get the heck out of the way. Thank you thank you thank you." she said and threw herself against him.

"Counter card!" Var intoned and the waves of dark energy break the seal on the card. Var smirked feeling the immense amount of negative energy the card was putting out. Var saw that the card's appearance was composed of a spherical void of emptiness where the visible form of the card existed. In the center of this void, Var could make out a young girl with long, silvery hair wearing a frilled dress. "What are you?"
"I am the Void, or Nothing if you prefer." the card said in a lowly monotone.
"Why would he...oh...Clow created you to counter the positive magical energy all the cards put out. I guess he didn't retrieve you when Clow defeated me. Had he remember I had the counter card Clow wouldn't have been so foolish in leaving you sealed up. Now his failure is complete. Counter card, unbind!" he shouted and another wave of black energy strikes the visible form of the card. "Now, run wild!" he shouted and the card took off like a shot. 'Have fun, card masters.'

"No no no no no no no no!" Eli ranted feeling the counter card unleashed the Void card. "Dam you Var! Do you know what you've done!?"
"Master?" Spinner asked and Eli sighed. He had to find Lee and Sakura before they were surprised.
"I've made a mistake, Spinner, and if I don't help to fix it quickly, Var will win." Eli said and grabbed spinner and the two headed out.

'Did you feel that?' Sakura asked over their link.
'Yeah, Var must have used the counter card, but he woke up another card.' Lee answered. 'Whatever he released, it's tugging on the cards real hard.'

"Sakura! Lee!" Kero cried.
"Mama, daddy!" Ember cried.
"Kero! Get him out of here!" Lee shouted he didn't want the young guardian to be hurt.
"I don't know what the two of you are doing," Kero began and transformed, "but you're going to need my help if that counter card let loose a card we didn't know about."
"He's right," Eli said appearing on their left side. "Var has unleashed something that'll give us more trouble than we care to have."
"What's going on moon?" Lee demanded, but the Void card appeared before them and the pull on the cards was becoming quite oppressive.
"How do we stop it?" Sakura asked.
"Don't use the cards. Something has happened to Void and I think the counter card can be blamed for it. She's only supposed to be lonely, not crazed like she is now." Eli explained and Lee could tell that Moon was right.
"Then," Lee began and sent his plan to Sakura who agreed silently and she wrapped herself about Lee and Lee began his chant. "Force, know our plight, release the light...light!" Var appeared just in time to see the golden flash of light and then the blinding white light hit the card. When everyone's vision returned, the card was in card form flying about as if it were possessed by some demonic force. The card rocketed away to Eli's dismay.
"Impressive, most impressive, however, now the two are weakened from that move and the only one at full strength is you, Reed." Var taunted.
"What did you do!?" Eli demanded.
"You ought not to leave cards around while I have this." Var taunted presenting the counter to Eli. The reincarnate glared at Var who began laughing. Unfortunately, his laughter was cut short as the back of his head was kicked in by Meilin.
"I really can't stand bastards who think they can plan out every little thing." Meilin growled. Var rubbed the back of his head to feel blood. He growled and was deciding to attack or not when he spotted Meilin's blond hammer wielding boyfriend.
"Some other time then," he hissed and vanished.

"Where is he!?" Meilin fumed.
'He said he'd be here so he'll be here." Madison retorted crossing her arms. On cue, Josh appeared wearing his improved goggles and wrist band.
"Sorry, the software that controlled...never mind." Josh said seeing the furious look Meilin was giving him.
"Now that we're all here, I guess it's time for another one of my confessions." Eli began and Lee glared at him in annoyance. "I created the Void to counter the massive am mount of positive magic that the complete deck of cards put out. I sealed the card away, but I never believed that Var would be able to do what he has done."
"Well he has so how do we stop that card?" Lee asked still annoyed.
"Capturing and transforming it isn't going to be as simple as the others. Something must sacrificed in order to change the card." Eli explained.
"Sacrificed?" Sakura asked.
"Yes. Had the two of you not confessed and had been bonded lie you are then one of you would have to sacrifice the feelings you feel for each other. But, since you are tied so closely, the card will want to take that mental connection as payment for its transformation and capture." Eli finished.
"Moon," Lee growled. "That bound allows us to support the cards. If that is taken away..."
"I know, but it's the price you'll have to pay. I'm sorry." Eli said.
"You're sorry? You're sorry! Look you..." Lee began but Sakura stopped him.
"We'll do it." Sakura said with quiet resolve.
"What?" Lee asked.
"We've got no choice. We'll just have to learn to control the cards a different way." she offered.
"You're right. We can't let that card continue to run wild like it has. As for you," Lee said turning to Eli, "If you've got another mistake floating around out there I suggest you tell me now, or if we discover another Void card out there I'm going to send you back to the after life myself!" Lee exploded.
'How could I had failed so?' Eli asked himself. To seal the Void card the only weapon they had against Var was going to have to be sacrificed.
