  • After a flashback of the Clones' rebirth, back in Clow Country, everyone looks shocked to realize that the Clones hadn't died. Fei Wong realizes that Yuko is dead and is not able to accept it, which is why he will use the Clones again to bring her back.

  • The Clones question them on why they had grabbed them, when they should have escaped. They reply that their existence means a lot to them as well.
  • Kurogane and Fye try uselessy to stop Fei Wong, since to break the "tube" they need the permission of the ones inside it which they don't have. They become gravely inujured instead, as Mokona remarks that the tube is the same one that Yuko had (which was created by Clow Reed).
  • Both Sakuras turn to use their power of trascending space and time to break free from the "tube". This stuns Fei Wong, who tries reasoning with them, telling them that doing so would only cause space-time to break for once and for all. Despite this, they are eager to continue.
  • Kurogane manages to strike a fatal blow to Fei Wong, who prior to his death tells the Syaorans that they must pay for their sins as he dissapears. The world is finally turned back to normal as the Sakuras break free from the tube, but the Syaorans are trapped inside a world of nothingness (not the Dream World)
  • The Syaorans meet Watanuki, as he realizes that "Syaoran" and him are the same. While "Syaoran" regretts his choice, Clone Syaoran thanks him for it, as he begins to explain them that he'll dissapear now- because his creator has dissapeared and so must their creations.
  • With Clone Syaoran's dissapearance the fissure needed to escape is created- as Clone Sakura dissapears as well. But before shattering, Clone Syaoran tells them he's happy to have been born even if it was in a twisted world. Now both Watanuki and "Syaoran" are ready to escape, while a voice tells them to "pay the price."
  • At last, "Syaoran" and Watanuki escape, but to do so they have to pay a price. After paying their respective prices, "Syaoran" is brought back to Clow Country, where he meets "Sakura" and the others. Watanuki is brought back to his world.
  • Epilogue: "Syaoran" is once more in Clow Country, along with "Sakura", Kurogane, Fai and Mokona. The time-space loop has been restored, and "Sakura"'s parents are back to normal.

"Syaoran" reveals that the price he paid was to continue the journey, while Watanuki's price is to stay in the shop. Because "Syaoran" wants to see his other self once more, he decided to continue the journey, and "Sakura" wants to see her other self as well. Kurogane and Fai decide to come with him, but "Sakura" is unable to do so. Before leaving, "Syaoran" confesses his feelings for Sakura by saying "I love you", and "Sakura" replies to him: "I love you too". Finally, "Sakura" and "Syaoran" reveal their real names are both the same: Tsubasa.
