ARC IV
28) THE DECAY (Chapter 54: Cherry Blossom Branches Shake)
Description: The skeletal creature blazed in flame for a second [after Sakura used Firey], before stepping away, undamaged. It then grinned, bearings its yellowed teeth and, reached out for Sakura with outstretched bony hands.
New key description: The key levitated in front of her and glowed, expanding into a full-length staff. She had successfully released it. As she took grip of the staff, she realized suddenly that the head of the staff had changed again. It was no longer a single star embedded within a winged circlet. Up till now, she had seen the staff in three different forms. The first, the Bird staff, then the Star staff, then the powered up staff when Yue and Cerberus joined together to defeat the eclipse created by Clow Reed’s reincarnation. This current staff was most similar to the last, except, instead of the large star atop the crescent moon, this staff had a golden star embedded between the sliver of the crescent moon.

Description: I know you want it," said Sakura, waving the shimmering chain in front of her. "Come and get it." She leaped down from the branch onto the ground. In response, the Metal's arm morphed into a long slinky chain and slinked up towards Sakura's feet.
Battle costume: A little while later, Sakura was dressed in an Arabian-inspired costume of a deep bittersweet orange color with golden embroideries at the hems of her belly-baring top and air-light layers of sheer fabric for the sleeves. Her neck and wrists were covered with golden bangles that jingled when she moved. Kero-chan had a little sultan's turban on his head and a golden armlet.
