Okay! So...this is my first time writing a Cardfight Vanguard fanfic. The format's a bit new to me since I go about other types of genres. But then I created something and this was too good an opportunity to miss.

So...yeah. Don't really know what to say here. Um...expect some unfamiliar cards since they are of my creation. Sorry if I stole anybody's idea. Didn't mean to.

So...yeah. Read and hopefully you enjoy. And...hope you can leave a review, tell me how it was and whatnot. I appreciate it all the same. So...yeah...'kay, Rueful Titan Dragon! You're up!

The Blank Kid

Rueful Titan Dragon flew across the decimated surface of Cray. The huge dragon looked behind him briefly to survey his enemies' progress. Any citizen of Cray who dared to stand in the Link Jokers' way was instantly locked. Titan cursed his carelessness. It was his fault that innocent soldiers and pedestrians were being locked.

He veered to the left, just in time to dodge a dragon cowering underneath a rock. Seeing the dragon, however, made Titan stop flying. He couldn't leave the young one to fight off the Link Jokers alone. The dragon flew towards the young dragon.

First Thunder Dracokid looked up in horror at the white and blue cyber dragon. Another one! The Dracokid held out his sword. He knew that he didn't stand a chance against the Link Joker, but he would fight to the end. "Stay away, Link Joker!" First Thunder shouted.

Titan stopped flying towards the Eradicator. Of course…most of the citizens of Cray didn't know about them. He was about to reassure First Thunder that he was on Cray's side when a black beam covered in red aura hit the Dracokid. First Thunder screamed in pain until he finally fell into a disturbed sleep.

Titan reared back in horror before turning around. Mobius Breath Dragon smirked at the former Link Joker commander.

"You didn't have to lock him," the Commander scowled.

"All's fair in love and war, Titan. And this is war," Mobius laughed. His companions didn't share his humor.

"Shut up, Mobius. We have to bring him back," Radon muttered. Titan glared at his former comrades defiantly.

"Don't make this harder than it has to be, Commander," Colony Maker said.

"Oh? But what's the fun in easy stuff?" chimed in an unfamiliar voice. The three Link Joker soldiers looked around in confusion. Titan maintained his stance. He knew what was going to happen soon, and it would benefit him more if he stayed out of the way.

Especially when he was involved.

"Snarls of Liberty!" the voice roared. The sound echoed for miles. A strange humming sound caught the units' attention. Titan didn't bother to look. Black rings with a blue aura clashed with the black rings with red aura. A flash of light briefly blinded the onlookers, and First Thunder was back.

"What?" the Dracokid was confused. How was he unlocked? He knew from watching his comrades being locked that it took a while to be released. But this time, it only took a few minutes. So how…?

A large figure landed in front of First Thunder. This unit had the same white and blue armor as Titan. Long, silvery hair waved in the wind from underneath his wolf helmet. A pair of cyber guns was sheathed on the sides of his leg armor. Large claws extended from his hands. The unit seemed to be standing on his toes, which had similar claws.

Miscellena smirked at the three Link Jokers, showing his razor sharp fangs.

"So the Lone Wolf arrives," Titan groaned quietly.

…

He waited. Leaning with one foot against the wall, the sixteen-year-old boy gazed over the street winding around the neighborhood. He looked up, taking in the dark sky that hovered over the city. He sighed quietly to himself. This was supposed to be a fun vacation full of Cardfighting. Where was everybody?

The boy chuckled to himself quietly when that thought crossed his mind. There were plenty of Cardfighters around. But…something about them was strange. A lot stronger than the ones at home. And a lot meaner too. They had a strange aura clouding them.

Their aura seemed a lot like his. Just a bit…more threatening…darker…the boy shrugged. What Titan told him was true then. If that was the case, then he better hurry.

The boy stood up from the wall with his hands in his jacket pockets. He began to walk towards the exit of the neighborhood. The wind blew harder, a harsh wind. The boy stopped for a moment to pull his collar closer to his neck. He shivered in the cold. Good thing he listened to his mother. Even with his jacket, the wind bit any piece of exposed skin. After some consideration, the boy put up his hood. After all, most of his body heat was lost through the head. He grinned ruefully. Try telling that to Freezing Enthalpy Dragon.

A snicker caused the boy to look up. He frowned. When did they get here? Even engrossed as he was in his thoughts, he should have been able to sense them. The four boys held deck boxes in their hands. Each had that dark aura around them. The boy narrowed his eyes. The red marks underneath their eyes, they had it too.

The boy sighed before pulling out his own deck box. A similar aura covered him, except it felt more…empty. The group before him hesitated, as if they could sense his aura too. The boy smirked at them.

"Well, what's the hold up?" he asked.

One of them, a green-hair, stepped forward. "Nothing," he smirked back. He took out a specific card and placed it in front of him. The card suspended in mid-air as four lines outlined it, signifying the starting Vanguard.

The blank boy smiled. He placed his own starter before him. The same procedure happened. The boy frowned. Did the wind seem stronger? No matter. He'll be able to beat these four, no problem.

"Stand up," they chorused, "the Vanguard!"

"Amon's Follower, Fate Collector!" the Reversed boy cried. He smirked at his opponent, but the smirk soon disappeared. What was that unit the other boy was using? Could it be…? No, they looked similar, but there was something different about that Grade 0 the boy was using.

Covered in white and blue armor, the small unit had a cyber wings extended from its back. A dragon head-like helmet covered its eyes, leaving only the bottom half of its face visible, a jaw with razor sharp teeth. Black rings with a blue aura at the edges encircled the unit's wrists and ankles. A short, mechanical tail whipped around slowly as the unit floated up and down uncertainly. The Reversed boy soon found out who he was up against.

"Blank Rogue, Pedria Dragon," Genkei said.

Who Ra! Blank Rogues! And, obviously, nobody heard of them. I actually just made them when I was thinking about the Link Jokers. So! The Blank Rogues are some fake cards of mine. As you may have guessed, they were a part of the Link Jokers. And you have already met three of them: Rueful Titan Dragon, Lone Wolf Miscellena, and Pedria Dragon.

I actually made a bunch of them and tested out a deck using my Narukami deck as a proxy. It was really fun, but I had to keep referring to my notebook to make sure I was following the rules :)

So! Here is Blank Rogue, Pedria Dragon's card info:

Name: Blank Rogue, Pedria Dragon

Grade/Skill: Grade 0/Boost

Power: 5000

Critical: 1

Shield: 10000

Nation: Star Gate

If you do, look at up to ten cards from the top of your deck, search for up to one card named "Blank Rogue, Rueful Titan Dragon" from among them, ride it, and shuffle your deck.

For each chapter, I'll give out one of my fake cards' effect. NO STEALING, PLEASE! THEY'RE MINE...ALL MINE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Rueful Titan: ...*flies away slowly*

So please review and tell me how I did. I will greatly appreciate anything you have to say, as it will help me improve my writing. So...see you next time!
