MAN:  An earthquake?!

p.59

<yet more rumbling>

p.60

<and more rumbling>

SAKURA:  It's going to leave the town in pieces!!
	 Is this  the Clow Card that breaks the seal
	 and brings "disaster"?

CERBERUS:  Wrong!
	   This is just how the Card of "Earth" acts.

p.61

<woosh>
<rumbling>
<disappear>
<land>

SAKURA:  <<WATERY!!>>

<splash>

p.62

<slice>
<grow>

SAKURA:  It keeps on growing!
	 Kero-chan!!
	 Together with FIRERY, we can attack the Card.

CERBERUS:  Yes, but...!

p.63

SAKURA:  Fire is Kero-chan's attibute, after all.

<fwip>

CERBERUS:  Wait!

<burn>

SAKURA:  <<FIRERY!!>>

p.64

<burn>

	 Success!!

p.65

<bombardment>
<fall>

	 Kyaaaaa!!

<fwoosh>

p.66

	 Th-thank you...

CERBERUS:  The Fire Card isn't good to use.
	   My attibute's to burn, but Earth can too!

SAKURA:  What!?

<rumbling>

(Speaker unknown?):  %Cerberus' symbol is "the Sun."
	             %"Blaze" and "Earth" are similar.

SAKURA:  [Of course, Shaolan-kun also said that
          before...]

<shock>

p.67

	 If it's the case that the Card of "Earth" is
         also like Kero-chan...!

CERBERUS:  It'll strengthen more.

SAKURA:  [Hoeee!]

CERBERUS:  [If we're defeated, it's back to the old
            (stuffed animal) form.]

p.68

<grow>
<shaking>

SAKURA:  HOEEEEE!

p.69

CERBERUS:  Why not! Sakura! Use the Card of FIRERY on me!

SAKURA:  B-but, that thing's below us!

CERBERUS:  Just do it!

SAKURA:  <<FIRERY!!>>

<burn>
<glow>

p.70

<fwoosh>

p.71

SAKURA:  AMAZING! How many times has Kero-chan been able to
	 act like a monster?

<extinguish>

CERBERUS:  [Who's a monster?!!]
	   But, "fire" on "earth" is not effective.
	   In one hour, it'll surpass us.

<rumbling>

p.72

<swipe>

SAKURA:  %That...
	 %The trees aren't falling.

p.73

	 %Perhaps...!

<grip>

	 Kero-chan! Fly as close as you can at "Earth"!

CERBERUS:  But!
	   If you screw up, we won't get another chance at
	   the Card!

SAKURA:  Card, I decided to collect all of you!
	 I will succeed!

p.74

CERBERUS:  Get ready!!

SAKURA:  Yes!

<rumbling>

p.75

	 *Card created by Clow.
	 *Lend your powers to my key.
	 *Transfer the magic powers residing in you into
	 *the Key, and lend me your powers!

<strikes card>

	 <<WOOD!!>>

p.76-77

<encircle>

p.78

CERBERUS:  Now!!

SAKURA:  *Return to the form you ought ot be in!!
	 <<Clow Card!!>>

p.79

<appear>
	 Success!!

p.80

CERBERUS:  Indeed, EARTHY is to WOOD...
	   As the Earth Elemental is to the Wood Elemental
           in the system.
	   Sakura, you know about "gogyoushisou?"
	   {"Gogyoushisou" literally means "Five-line-
            thought." It just sounds better that way.}

SAKURA:  What's that?

CERBERUS:  [Wh-what, ya don't know?]
	   Then how'd ya know to use WOOD?

SAKURA:  Because EARTHY was spliting all the ground except
         where the trees are.
	 That's how I figured it out.
	 [Don't be so harsh.]

p.81

CERBERUS:  %Gogyoushisou.
           %In ancient China, it was believed that all things
	   %in the universe are made from the five elements.
	   %The Wood Element. The Fire Element. The Earth
	   %Element. The Metal Element. The Water Element.
	   %Respectively,
	   %These are the five elements that are inside
	   %everything.

SYMBOLS:  [(Clockwise from top)Wood Element, Fire Element,
	   Earth Element, Metal Element, Water Element.]

CERBERUS:  %"The Wood Element will afflict the Earth Element."
	   %Wood grows on the surface of the Earth, and the
	   %Clow Cards are Oriental Magic, so of course they
	   %would follow this belief.

SAKURA:  [If you like, land on that road.]

p.82

CERBERUS:  ...seems my Choice was correct.

SAKURA:  Huh?

<flap>
<dash>

p.83

SHAOLAN: Are you alright!?

SAKURA:  Yes!
	 This means, I collected all the Clow Cards!

SHAOLAN:  For...for the moment...if, if you like.

<blush>

SAKURA:  Thank you! ^_^

p.84

TOMOYO:  Sakura-chan!!
	 [I have been looking for you!!]

<breathing hard>

SAKURA:  [Where'd you come from?]
	 Tomoyo-chan!
	 I collected all the Cards!

<shock>

TOMOYO:  AAAH!
	 I missed the final adventure of
	 "Card Captor Sakura!!"
	 [A lifelong mistake!]
	 [And I had the costume made for this!]

<shaking>

SAKURA:  [Tomoyo-chan?]
	 A-ah...
	 I put it on!
	 Okay?!
	 [So, cheer up.]

p.85

<brighten>
<twinkle>

TOMOYO:  REALLY?!

SAKURA:  [Uh...]

TOMOYO:  ...Who is this?

<fall over>

p.86

SAKURA:  Um.
	 ...Is this how it goes?

SIGN:  [Tsukishiro Shrine.]

TOMOYO:  Today is "You Got All the Cards Holiday!!"
	 [And for this holiday, you get to wear the outfit,
	  and I'll film it for a momento!]
	 [So!
	  Sakura-chan, choose a good pose!!]

SHAOLAN:  But,
	  Cerberus doesn't look too happy.
	  [About the Cards being completed.]

SAKURA:  ...Yes.

p. 87

	 ...Yukito-san.
	 He hasn't woken up yet.

TOMOYO:  So! Have you signed your name to the last Card?

<shaking head>

SAKURA:  No, not yet.

TOMOYO:  Then, by all means, let's do that scene!

<whoosh>

CERBERUS:  ...Sakura.
	   Sign your name to the last Card to end this.

p.88

SAKURA:  Yes!

<writing>

CERBERUS:  ...Are you prepared, yes?

SAKURA:  Huh?

<writing>

MIZUKI:  ...The Last Judgement.

p.89
