That night, Sakura, Tomoyo and Kero go out so they can capture the card. Tomoyo makes Sakura a fairy outfit, saying it suits her very well. Kero asks Sakura how she found out where the card is, Sakura was about to answer when Tomoyo interrupts saying that the camera is on stand-by and Kero tells them to go.
Sakura uses Fly so that she can get up to the clock tower. Sakura thinks for a second and she understands that it is a presence of a Clow Card. Sakura gets closer until a strange looking guy uses magic and turns back time. Sakura doesn't understand and asks Kero, Kero can't say anything because time is going back. Time stops and turns back from the time Sakura finished getting into her Fairy outfit.
Sakura asks Kero what card it is, Kero says that it's The Time Card. Kero says that it's a card dealing with time and it freely controls the flow of time. Tomoyo once again says that the camera is stand-by. Sakura once again flies there, Kero says that people with no-magic ability doesn't feel anything when time is controlled. Kero says that Time chose the biggest clock and fused with it. Sakura asks Kero if it'll rewind an entire day, Kero says that the power to rewind occurs once a day, he also says that it's only possible right after midnight. Sakura looks at the tower and realizes that it's almost midnight, Sakura goes forward, but Time stops time and turns it back
Syaoran arriving
Time turns back to the time where Sakura finished getting into her Fairy outfit, again. Kero says that it's getting tiring repeating the same day three times. Syaoran comes and asks them what their doing, Sakura ignores this and asks him what happened to his face, seeing a bandage there. Tomoyo says that the ball hit his face as he turned around, Sakura says that the ball ended up in the goal anyways. Tomoyo said it was amazing.
Syaoran is flushed and points to the clock tower, saying that Time is fused with the clock tower and you can capture it if you use an offensive card to destroy the clock tower. Tomoyo says that he can't destroy the tower, Syaoran asks why, Sakura replies saying that everyone in Tomoeda relies on that clock. Syaoran asks if she's just going to leave the card there, Sakura says she can't leave it alone, but she says they can't destroy the clock.
Syaoran thinks for a moment, he then says they need to approach it without getting noticed. Syaoran says that since it's a clock tower, you can't fly there as you will get noticed easily, Sakura and Tomoyo then heads to the tower bottom of the tower, going unnoticed. Syaoran is on the roof of the building right beside the tower, getting his grappling hook ready. He then grapples to the top of the tower, Time hears the noise starts to get cautious.
Sakura trying to capture time
Sakura then appears behind him, trying to capture him, but Time notices this and starts to turn back time, but then Syaoran breaks the window and tells Sakura to use the Shield card fast. Sakura uses the Shield and shields Tomoyo, Kero, Syaoran and herself. Time notices this and tries to run away, Syaoran looks at him and says that he's trying to run away.
Syaoran uses his sword and he uses one of his ofuda cards, he uses Raitei Shourai and Time stays in place as Sakura captures him. Once he's captured, the card goes to Syaoran instead of Sakura, Sakura asks why. Kero says that the card is owned by the one who turned it back to it's original shape. Sakura says that she's the one that sealed it, Kero says that Syaoran was the one that held back the power of Time, so he got the card.
The next day at school, Sakura spots Tomoyo and says hello. Realizing the recorder, Tomoyo asks if Sakura's ready for the Kanji test that they have today ad asks why she has the recorder.
