Hello everyone! This is a new story! I hope everyone will enjoy this new story! Without further ado, let's start!
Normal POV
The Cardfight Club school play was intense as the whole club, except for Aichi, lost to Daigo.
" I've been defeated..." Shingo said
" Aichi... It's all up to you now..." Naoki said
" You're too into this..." Aichi muttered, sweat dropping
" Oh, so you're the last of the Alfred troop? Then, come at me!" Daigo said
" Y-Yes!"
Aichi took out his deck as they placed their starting Vanguards and decks in place, drew their five cards and prepared themselves.
" Stand up, Vanguard!"
" Stand up the Vanguard!"
" Wingal Liberator!"
" First Legend, Ambrosius!"
" I'll go first. Draw! I ride Little Liberator, Marron! Wingal moves back. Turn end." Aichi declared
" I'll see what you're made of. Draw! I ride Regret Jewel Knight, Urien! Ambrosius moves back. Attack!" Daigo declared
" No guard!"
" Drive check. Draw trigger! Power to Urien and draw!" Daigo declared
" Damage check. No trigger."
" Turn end."
" Stand and draw! Stand up, my avatar! Ride! Blaster Blade Liberator! I call Phallon! Blaster Blade attacks!" Aichi declared
" No guard."
" Drive trigger check. Critical trigger! Power to Phallon! Critical to Blaster Blade!" Aichi declared
" Damage check. Second check. Oh, too bad. No trigger." Daigo declared
" Phallon!" Aichi declared
" No guard. Damage check. No trigger again." Daigo declared
" Turn end."
" Sendou-kun has dealt three damage this turn! How will Daigo-san turn the tables here?!" Shingo announced
" Stand and draw! I ride Battle Flag Knight, Constance! Call! Gordon!" Daigo declared
" I guard with Epona!"
" Constance! Drive check. No trigger. Skill activated! Superior call! Rendgal! Owein attacks!" Daigo declared
" No guard."
Aichi was dealt the third damage after that.
" Now both fighters have three damage each! How will everything turn out in this turn?!" Shingo announced
" Give me the power with your noble white wings! I ride, Solitary Liberator, Gancelot! I call Escrad and Marron! Phallon attacks Gordon!" Aichi declared
" No guard."
" Gancelot attacks! Twin drive check. Second check! Heal trigger! Power to Escrad! I heal one damage point." Aichi declared
" Damage check. Heal trigger! Power to Constance and I also heal a damage point." Daigo declared
" Escrad!" Aichi declared
" Guard!"
" Turn end."
" Stand and draw! From the absolutely beautiful, sacred world, swoop down on luminous wings! Sanctuary Guard Dragon! I superior call another Rendgal using his skill! Rendgal attacks!" Daigo declared
" Guard!"
" Sanctuary Guard Dragon! Drive check! Second check! No trigger, huh? Then, Owein!" Daigo declared
" No guard."
" Turn end."
Aichi suddenly felt a sensation as the area above the Damage Zone glowed.
" What's that?!" Miwa exclaimed
" I discard Gancelot from my hand and stride." Aichi declared, his Psyqualia glowing in his eyes
" Stride?!"
" I've never heard of it!" Misaki exclaimed
" Generation Zone, release! Show me the world I truly desire! Stride Generation! Fast Chase Golden Knight, Campbell!" Aichi declared
" By itself, the Vanguard is 26000 power?!" Kamui exclaimed
" Phallon attacks!" Aichi declared
" Guard!"
" Campbell attacks! Grade 4s gain higher possibilities... Triple drive check. First check. Second check. Draw trigger, power to Escrad and draw. Third check. Critical trigger. Critical to Campbell and power to Escrad." Aichi declared
" Damage check. Critical trigger! Power to Sanctuary Guard Dragon! Second check. No trigger." Daigo declared
" From there, three skills will be activated. First, Campbell's attack hit so I can superior call one unit from the top five. I superior call Little Liberator, Marron. He gets +2000 power. Second skill, once the Vanguard attack hits and Wingal is boosting him, he moves to the Soul and I can superior call Blaster Blade Liberator from the Soul. Stand up once more, my avatar! Skill activated. I retire Owein with Blaster Blade. Escrad attacks." Aichi declared
" Guard!"
" Blaster Blade!" Aichi declared
" Guard!"
" Turn end..." Aichi declared
His Psyqualia deactivated as he looked around.
" Huh? What happened here?" Aichi ask
" Aichi?" Naoki ask
" What's going on here?" Kamui exclaimed
" That was an awesome attack! As expected of the strongest user of Psyqualia and Asia Champion!" Daigo said
Aichi and the others gasped at that.
" Sendou's an Asia Champion?!"
" No wonder we couldn't beat him at all!"
" They know this now...?" Kamui muttered
" Now it's my turn, right?" Daigo ask
" Y-Yes..."
" Why am I feeling so tired...? And what's with this ominous feeling?" Aichi thought
His eyes widened at the realization.
" How do you know I have Psyqualia?!" Aichi exclaimed
" Well, this card will tell you everything. Crossride the Vanguard! Darkness Dragon, Sanctuary Guard 'Reverse'!" Daigo declared
The place turned into a space like area as they gasped.
" What's this?!" Aichi exclaimed
He gasped when he saw the Dragon of darkness in front of him.
" What's that unit?!" Aichi exclaimed
" Here I go! Call! I have five grade 1 and lower... Now is Sanctuary Guard 'Reverse's' Limit Break! I lock Ambrosius! If I have three or more grade 1s or lower, it get one extra critical and +3000 power for each one of them! I'm not done yet! Ultimate Break! All my grade 1 and lower rear guards get +5000 power!" Daigo declared
" All of them?!" Kamui exclaimed
" That's..." Aichi exclaimed
" Aichi!"
Aichi turned to see Kai.
" Don't lose!" Kai shouted
" That's not what's going to happen." Daigo said, red marks appearing under his eyes
" Brother!"
" Aichi!"
" My right Rendgal attacks!" Daigo declared
" Guard!"
" My Vanguard attacks!" Daigo declared
" Guard!"
" Two triggers, huh... Twin drive check. Critical trigger. All effects to my Vanguard." Daigo said
" He's so sure that he's going to draw a trigger?!" Miwa exclaimed
" Aichi!" Kai shouted
" Second check. Heal trigger! All effects to my Vanguard!" Daigo said
The guardians were destroyed as Gancelot was hit.
" Damage... check..." Aichi declared
His first card was not a trigger.
" I have to... Draw a heal..." Aichi muttered
His hand laid on the second card.
" Second check..." Aichi paused, " Critical trigger..."
" Aichi... lost..." Naoki said
He dropped the cards on the table as red mist suddenly started to surround him and he screamed.
" Aichi!"
" This feeling is... It's the same as him!" Aichi thought
Black rings appeared around him before he was turned into a small dark blue orb, surrounded by the black rings. He flew towards Daigo as he caught it and the place was turned back to normal.
" You're not Daigo, are you?!" Kamui ask
" No, I still am Daigo. I'm just indulging in the power of Link Joker." Daigo said
" Link Joker?!"
" Oh, that's right. Here, now that I have him, I don't need these three anymore." Daigo said
He threw a green, purple and light blue orb towards them as Kai managed to catch them. He looked into the orbs and gasped.
" Ren! Leon! Chris!"
" What?!"
" I was gathering users of Psyqualia but this guy's already enough." Daigo said, holding up Aichi's orb
" Give Aichi back!" Kai shouted
" Too bad. I have to go now." Daigo said
" I'm not letting you go! Fight me and if I win, you give Aichi back!" Kai said
" And if you lose, you'll end up indulging in Reverse too. And with your current ability, you will obviously lose to me." Daigo said
" What?!"
" Please make way. I have to go now." Daigo said
The students made way as Kai and the others could only watch as he left the gym.
" We have to tell Takuto!" Kourin said
" Right!"
" First, let's try to bring these three back to normal." Kai said
" But how?" Suiko ask
" I don't know... Hey, Kai. Put them on the floor." Miwa said
Kai raised his eyebrow but did as told as the three orbs suddenly glowed and the three people took form.
" Hey, wake up!" Kamui exclaimed
" I can't believe that worked..." Miwa muttered
Ren was the first to get up as he groaned.
" Man, my head hurts..." Ren groaned
" Are you alright?" Misaki ask
" Oh, Misa-ki. Huh? I remember I was still in my Office... How did I end up here?" Ren ask
He tried to remember.
" That's right! Where's Daigo?!" Ren ask
" He took Aichi and got away." Miwa replied
" I wanted to warn everyone but some weird force just took over me and... Here I am... Leon-kun and Chris-kun were affected to, I see..." Ren said
" Yeah. Aichi was too." Kai said
" But that force was familiar, like we've experienced it before but I just can't put my finger on what... In any case, we have to take Aichi-kun back from Daigo!" Ren said
" How? He's gone by now." Misaki said
" Easy really. We have Psyqualia. We can just follow their trail. Remember, Kai? I have a sensitive nose." Ren said
" Psyqualia and your sense of smell is different. If you know how to find them, then hurry it up." Kai said
Leon and Chris woke up and listened in as they got up.
" We're going too." Chris said
" I still owe Sendou a favour." Leon said
" We're going too!" Naoki said
" No. I'm going alone with these three. If there's too many of us, the enemy will know that we're around." Kai said
Miwa stopped the others.
" If you think that you can, then do it! I know I can trust my buddy on this!" Miwa said
" Yeah. Let's go." Kai said
" Wait." A voice said
They turned to see a light blue haired woman.
" That familiar hair and eyes... Are you... Aichi's mother?!" Misaki exclaimed
" She was here and saw the whole thing?!" Miwa muttered
" Bring him back safely." Shizuka said
Kai said nothing at first but then he waved before running out of the door with the three users.
" You think he'll be fine alone?" Kamui ask
" Don't worry! This is Kai we're talking about it! When it comes down to Aichi though, it's a totally different Kai." Miwa said and grinned
Meanwhile, Daigo returned to a building as he met up with his main leader.
" Hey... Takuto." Daigo said
" Good job, Daigo. Where is he?" Takuto ask
" Here."
He opened a small box and Aichi's orb was inside.
" I knew it, his powers are sufficient. So you freed the rest from Reverse?" Takuto ask
" Of course. We have no use for them anymore." Daigo replied
" Good. Now then, give him to me." Takuto said
Daigo handed Aichi's orb over to Takuto as Takuto materialized Aichi out of the orb.
" Wake up, Aichi Sendou." Takuto said
Aichi groaned as he woke up and sat up.
" Where am I...?" Aichi ask
" You're at Tatsunagi building." Daigo said
" Tatsunagi...?" Aichi muttered
He gasped as he stood up and looked around.
" No way... Where's everyone?!" Aichi ask
" The real Takuto Tatsunagi is busy being trapped on Cray while I am an agent of Void and his clan, Link Joker." Reversed Takuto said
" Again with Link Joker..." Aichi exclaimed
" Join us, Aichi-kun. It'll be fun." Daigo said
" No! I refuse!" Aichi shouted
" You can't avoid it. You were only able to escape from being Reversed because Daigo reverted you into an orb." Reversed Takuto said
" Stay away from me! Don't come any closer!" Aichi shouted
Daigo signaled his bodyguard as he pinned Aichi's hands above his head as he struggled.
" Let me go! I don't want to join you!" Aichi shouted
" It's not a matter whether you want this or not, but it's a matter of that you will join us whether you like it or not." Reversed Takuto said
" No!"
" Bring that in." Reversed Takuto said
Daigo nodded as he went to fetch something as he came back with a glass cylinder. Inside the cylinder was a black headpiece with a rainbow jewel at the center and a black bracelet with a similar crystal color lock at the center. There was also a key for it as Reversed Takuto proceeded to put the headpiece on Aichi's head while he struggled.
" No! I don't want this!" Aichi screamed
" Once this bracelet is locked on your wrist, Void's energy will flow into you and you'll be under our complete control." Reversed Takuto said
" No!"
Aichi struggled again as the bracelet was locked on his wrist and black mist pierced into his body while he tried to resist the strong aura. He screamed as the door suddenly burst opened and two figures tackled the guard down while another figure snatched the key from Reversed Takuto and caught Aichi. He unlocked the bracelet as it dropped to the floor and the figure started to calm Aichi down. It was Kai and the others.
" It's okay. I'm here. Nobody's going to hurt you anymore." Kai assured, patting Aichi's back
" Kai... kun..." Aichi cried
" We're getting out of here." Ren said
" Yeah."
They made sure that Daigo and Reversed Takuto won't follow them as they ran out of the building. Kai felt Aichi's grip tightening as he also held him tighter. Once they arrived at Kai's apartment, he locked the door as he tried to place Aichi down but that only caused Aichi to let out a tiny cry before his grip tightened again.
" Okay, I won't let you go. You'll let go if you feel better, okay?" Kai ask
Aichi nodded as Kai carried him so that they could sit on the floor. Kai took notice of the headpiece as he removed it and discarded it aside.
" Now, now, Kai. You don't have to be this angry." Ren said
" At least let us inspect it." Leon said
Leon picked up the headpiece as he placed it at the center of the five of them.
" This sensation that I'm feeling from this headpiece is not normal. I mean, with Psyqualia, you can tell that the wavelength is totally not normal." Chris said
" But it has a familiar vibe to it as well. Maybe that's why only Psyqualia users can feel it." Ren said
" Plus, there's that massive dark aura surrounding it... It's definitely not normal..." Leon said
" It's... An item from Cray, I think..." Aichi said, turning to them a little
" From Cray?" Ren ask
Aichi nodded slightly.
" When that fake Takuto-kun wore it on me, I could see the images on Cray clearly. Units are banding together to fight Link Joker, but leaders from each clans are starting to get corrupted by this Reverse. It's the same thing that's controlling Daigo-san..." Aichi explained
" How do we beat this Link Joker?" Leon ask
" Black rings are appearing all over Cray and Earth. Once they expand to their maximum size, everything will fall into nothingness. That's exactly what Link Joker... No, what Void wanted to happen..." Aichi replied
" Then will beating it be impossible?" Chris ask
" By now, because of Daigo-san's influence to travel around the world, he Reversed plenty of people. There might be a way to bring those Reversed fighters back to normal though." Aichi replied
" How?" Kai ask
" Defeat them in a Vanguard fight. But the opposite will happen if you lose..." Aichi said
" We'll get Reversed..." Leon said
" How did you guys get out unReversed anyway?" Kai ask
" It seems that if we've been converted to those orbs, it'll leave us naturally. Which leaves all of us unaffected." Aichi said
" I see."
Suddenly, dark red mist started to engulf Aichi's body as they gasped.
" Aichi!"
" I still had some of the Reverse aura in me because of just now... Please, just leave me somewhere before I become one of them..." Aichi said
" I'm not leaving you alone, Aichi!" Kai said
" Us too!" Ren said
Aichi resisted until he fainted as Kai shook him.
" Aichi?! Aichi! Wake up, Aichi!" Kai shouted
The aura continued to flare as a projection of Reversed Takuto suddenly appeared.
" Let this be a warning to you. If you leave him like this, his soul will slowly drain away and disappear, which means that he'll die. But if you give him to me, I'll save him. So, be good and hand him over." Reversed Takuto said
" No!" Kai said
" Then I'll let you watch in despair as his life is slowly taken away from him." Reversed Takuto said
Kai held Aichi tightly.
" Kai... kun..." Aichi muttered
" Aichi..." Kai said
" I'll be taking my leave then." Reversed Takuto said
" Wait!" Kai shouted
" Kai?!" Ren exclaimed
" If you can save him, then I'll let you take him but I want you to take me with you!" Kai said
" Kai, what are you doing?!" Ren ask
" I'm sorry, but I can't let Aichi die like this! Please, tell my apology to the others." Kai said
Kai took the headpiece while carrying Aichi as they were teleported away.
" Kai! Aichi!"
Meanwhile, Kai was asked to wait outside the room where he gave Aichi to them for treatment, however, considering that they were still enemies and with Kai not wanting to join their evil group, his wrists had to be shackled for precautions. Kai waited outside for a few hours until Reversed Takuto came out.
" You can go in to see him." Reversed Takuto said
Kai ran into the room as he saw Aichi lying on the bed fast asleep. He took a chair and sat beside him as he took his hand.
" Then, I'll be leaving you two alone." Reversed Takuto said
He closed the door as Kai caressed Aichi's cheek.
" I'm so glad... You're alright now, Aichi..." Kai said
He fell asleep beside him as time passed.
~ A few hours later~
Kai felt something tickling his hand as he opened his eyes to see Aichi and what was tickling him was his signature hair bang.
" Aichi? You're awake?" Kai ask
Aichi just blinked as he leaned in closer to Kai and Kai blushed lightly.
" A-Aichi?"
" Aichi? My... name...?" Aichi ask
Kai's eyes widened as he looked at Aichi's eyes, he wasn't lying...
" Do you remember me?" Kai ask
Aichi tilted his head curiously as his Psyqualia activated for a split second.
" Do you like me, Kai-kun?" Aichi ask
Kai was caught off guard by the question as his face flushed red.
" W-W-W-Well... I... Yeah, kind of... I like... No, I love you, Aichi." Kai said, trying to control his cheeks from burning up
Aichi smiled widely at that as he threw himself onto Kai.
" Besides, why did you call me 'Kai-kun'...?" Kai ask
" Kai-kun is Kai-kun, after all... Am I wrong? You're Toshiki Kai, right?" Aichi ask
" N-No, not that... I mean, didn't you lose your memories? After all, you didn't even know your name..." Kai said
" But I know now! Because Kai-kun told me! I've been sleeping for so long... I can finally wake up and look around the world!" Aichi said
" How long have you been asleep for?" Kai ask
" Hm? Eh... A few years...?" Aichi replied
Kai's eyes widened again.
" A-A few years...?" Kai ask
" Yeah! And, a voice told me that when I wake up, I can find the one I love! It's you, Kai-kun! I can tell! You know me and I know you based on your memories. And my feelings are real, just like yours... I love Kai-kun!" Aichi confessed
" My memories...? You used my memories to know all this?" Kai ask
" Well, not all but... Everything is in messy fragments... I guess I still don't have full control over my powers yet..." Aichi replied
" It's fine. I'm just glad you're safe." Kai said
Aichi smiled and nodded.
" Why were you sleeping for so long?" Kai ask
" I'm not sure... I can't really remember either... I just remembered what that voice told me before I slept..." Aichi replied
" I see..."
Aichi heard the chains on the shackles as he looked down to see the shackles.
" What happened? Why is Kai-kun...?" Aichi ask
" I can't explain everything in time. These people, they-" Kai was cut off by the door opening
" I'm glad to see you awake, Young Master." Reversed Takuto said
" Takuto... kun...?" Aichi ask after his Psyqualia appeared for a split second again
" Yes, that's my name." Reversed Takuto said
" Why is Kai-kun shackled up?" Aichi ask
" For many reasons. We're doing this for your safety." Reversed Takuto replied
" Release these things! I don't want Kai-kun to be like that!" Aichi said
" But it's meant for your safety..." Reversed Takuto said
" Release him now." Aichi sternly ordered
Reversed Takuto backed away a little after he felt Aichi's power peaking.
" He's backing off...? Just... What is Aichi hiding that even he doesn't know of...?" Kai thought
" I understand." Reversed Takuto said
He took out a key as Kai was released from the shackles and they fell to the floor.
" Kai-kun, are you okay?" Aichi ask
" Y-Yeah..."
" I'm glad..." Aichi muttered before fainting
Kai caught Aichi in time before he could collapse.
" Aichi!"
" Just lay him back down. I'll talk to you outside." Reversed Takuto said
Kai laid Aichi down on the bed as he walked outside with Reversed Takuto.
" Listen, Toshiki Kai. Don't mention even one thing about us or I won't guarantee that I'll let that boy live." Reversed Takuto said
" Don't you dare!" Kai said
" We removed the essence of Void that had went inside him, thus unlocking a cage that he kept locked in his heart for many years, ever since he was born. It could be that his memories were then either suppressed or erased due to that. His previous memories then surfaced as a voice, and his powers returned to him in that instance. It's so strong that it's surpassing my expectations... But let me tell you this, if you really even try to make escape plans or anything... Both of your lives will be endangered. I can still make use of my powers because his powers haven't fully returned to him yet. Let me show you an example." Reversed Takuto said
He was led back into the room as he tried to stop Reversed Takuto.
" Leave Aichi out of this!" Kai shouted
" Don't worry, I specially made this for both of you." Reversed Takuto said
He clicked his fingers as Kai felt his whole body hurting and his heart rapidly beating. His breathing turned hoarse as he looked over to see that Aichi was the same.
" Stop it... Aichi's... innocent..." Kai choked out
Reversed Takuto clicked his fingers again as Kai felt his body, heart and breathing going back to normal as he checked on Aichi.
" Both of you are linked by a poison that I placed into both of you. Just this one click and the poison will be put into work. It's a slow and painful process, you won't die but you'll suffer eternal pain and I'm sure you wouldn't want him to suffer because of your decisions, right?" Reversed Takuto ask
" How dare you...!" Kai said
" What a futile attempt." Reversed Takuto said
" I won't let you hurt Aichi...!" Kai said
" Oh? You want to try that again?" Reversed Takuto ask, readying his fingers
Kai's eyes widened.
" No, stop it! Don't hurt Aichi anymore! If there's anyone you want to put the blame on, then do it to me alone! Leave Aichi out of this!" Kai shouted
" Like I said, you both are linked by the poison. Isn't it good? You'll get to suffer together with your precious lover." Reversed Takuto said
" Alright! I'll cooperate! Just stop it... Aichi won't be able to take it..." Kai said
" That's what I want to hear. I'll be going off first then." Reversed Takuto said, closing the door behind him
Kai weakly crawled up to the bed as he saw Aichi's peaceful face back and he smiled.
" I'm glad you're alright... I won't let anyone hurt you anymore..." Kai said
Kai winced from the after pain as he laid his head down on the bed and slept.
