Ride 1: The Green Flare
"Stand up, Vanguard!"
"Stand up the Vanguard!"
This is it; I made it to the final match of the Nationals. Against me is Ren Suzugamori, the two-time champion. We flip our cards:
"Miles the Cyber!(5000)"
A small white light rises from the ground, then fades, revealing a child. He has a blue robe with green markings on it, and blue helmet that covered every part of his head but his face. The helmet was supposed to look like a fox, shown by the fox ears protruding from the top.
"Fullbau!(5000)"
A black, metallic dog with light blue patterns running across it appears from a dark aura, a sleek, icy blue visor hiding its fierce glare.
I draw my first card, then:
"I ride Little Sage Marron!(8000) Then, I call Starlight Unicorn!(6000)"
Miles is enveloped by a light blue glow, which grows taller. A young man emerges from it, wearing a blue robe and carrying a book. Then directly behind him, a sphere of light emerges and a unicorn with light armor and a rainbow colored mane is revealed as the light vanishes.
(2 turns later)
Okay, I have 3 damage, and Ren has 5. I'm okay, right?
My hand: 2
My units:
None | Blaster Blade | Silent Knight Gallatin
Marron | Wingal | Flogal
Ren's hand: 5
Ren's units:
None | Blaster Dark | None
Fullbau | Blaster Javelin | Black Sage Charon
Ren draws, then smirks at me. His eyes flash an iridescent purple. Wait, WHAT?
"Final Turn! I call two "Gururubaos"(7000). With a boost from Fullbau, Gururubao attacks Blaster Blade!"
(12000 vs 9000)
The demon hound pounces at the warrior, bloodlust in its eyes
"I intercept with Gallatin!(5000)"
Gallatin jumps in the way of the attack, being maimed by its rampage. The creature retreats, knowing it is too weak to resume.
"With a boost from Charon, my other Gururubao attacks Blaster Blade!"
(15000 vs 9000)
The second Gurururubao leaps toward Blaster Blade, even more blood-thirsty than its ally.
"I guard with Mirubiru(5000) and Powgal!(5000)"
The two appear in front of Blaster Blade, ready to defend him with their lives. Gururubao stops dead in its tracks, knowing that it is no match.
"Finally, I attack with Blaster Dark, boosted by Blaster Javelin!"
(15000 vs 9000)
Blaster Dark grips his blade tight, and lunges toward his adversary. Blaster Blade holds his blade in front of him as if it would protect him.
Since I have no cards left to defend with, I declare:
"No guard."
"Twin Drive! First Check:"
Grim Reaper (Critical Trigger)
"Critical Trigger get." I wince. "Second Check:"
Grim Reaper (Critical Trigger)(again)
"Damage Check:"
Little Sage Marron
Flogal
Alfred Early
No Heal Trigger. I fall on my knees, sinking my head in defeat. Ren walks away, and I hear one last word:
"Boring."
I awake with a start, my alarm clock screeching music from my favorite band: Dir en Grey. It says: 6:30, the time I wake up at every day. I realize that the whole match was a dream, and I relax. I hurry out of bed as I prepare for school.
