Me: Hello hello hello! This is the rewrite of the story Vanguard Academy, based on the forum created by littleblackwing! I own only the character Heiwami Soratsuki so far. You'll see the other characters later!
Astral: We do not own Cardfight! Vanguard. Bushiroad owns it.
Me: Unfortunately. This takes place 5 years after canon, enjoy!
Cardfight! Vanguard: Cray's Heroes
"This isn't working. This isn't working!" The black knight slammed his fist onto the table angrily.
"Blaster Dark! Stay calm!" Takuto Tatsunagi said, sitting near the head of the table where all of the representatives from the clans of Cray were sitting.
"We need to be able to stop them! It worked five years ago, it should work again!" Blaster Dark yelled.
"Using Psyqualia again would be too risky." CEO Amaterasu said calmly. "We have had our alternate to that for a long time, I say we use it."
"If it doesn't work, we'll be overwhelmed." A blue-haired twenty year old man, Aichi Sendou, said. He was sitting between to Alfred and Ezel. "We need to try it."
"It's getting more and more difficult. There will be many obstacles preventing it, of course." Misaki Tokura said. She sat next to Amaterasu and Twilight Hunter, Artemis.
"It will work if we try hard enough." Toshiki Kai said from his spot at the table. "It needs to be stopped no matter what. We're not sure what they're after but we need to stop them before it's too late."
"So that means…" Ren Suzugamori looked at the dark-haired girl at the table sitting next to Crimson Beast Tamer, "you'll have to handle this operation for now."
The girl nodded hesitantly.
"Wait a second!" Kamui Katsuragi yelled from his seat, suddenly standing up. He was now 17, and his black hair was as spiky as ever, although he had visually matured through his body. "If it's that operation, wouldn't it be better to have Emi-san or me handle it?"
"You two will be too obvious." Takuto said. "At this point, we need both of you at different positions. We need to be inconspicuous, without them suspecting it."
Kamui looked upset, but didn't protest.
"Katsuragi. Sit down." The blonde man sitting next to Algos said seriously. "We have no time for your petty concerns."
"W-Why you—"
"Leon-kun! Kamui-kun! Don't fight!" Aichi said exasperatedly. They both looked at him annoyed, but obeyed.
"We'll counter it from underneath, where they don't expect it." Takuto said. "This meeting is done for now. Contact back with information if you find anything more. I agree with Toshiki Kai. It must be stopped." He smiled slightly. "Now let's return to earth. Your school is starting, isn't it?"
"Tch." The dark-haired girl grumbled.

"Last call for entries to Vanguard Academy. I repeat, last call for entries to Vanguard Academy." The speaker said, echoing throughout the entire city. Kids bustled through the streets, either happy about passing, sad about losing, or trying to get to the testing on time before it was too late.
Here at last. A boy with spiky black hair and steel-colored eyes thought as he walked up to the entrance of the large building used for Vanguard regionals and breathed out. He wore a black t-shirt with a matching black jacket and black jeans.
The boy walked in, tossing a few papers to the woman keeping track of the students auditioning to get into Vanguard Academy as he passed.
"Kouichi Kanbara is present for audition." He said before entering.
This is the place where you told me to go. I will get stronger here.
Ride 1: Entry Day
"Will Kou—" The announcer broke off for a moment, trying to figure out how to pronounce the name as Kouichi sighed frustratedly from his seat. "Kouichi Kan- Kanbara? Will Kouichi Kanbara move to lift 3 for his final exam?"
Kouichi got up and began walking down the steps to the lift. He was transported up to the testing area and placed his deck onto the motion figure system.
"Are you ready?" asked the proctor across from Kouichi, shuffling his deck and placing it down.
"I could ask you the same thing," Kouichi replied easily, placing one hand on his now-facedown starting Vanguard. "After all, I already redrew."
The proctor placed one hand on his starting Vanguard. "STAND UP, VANGUARD!" They yelled at each other from across the field as the system activated around them
-linebreakofsomesort-
A girl with messy black hair down to the middle of her back and shoulder-length bangs yawned as she walked onto the balcony of the building, looking over all of the fights. She wore an oversized blue t-shirt with a purple Vanguard circle on it, ripped flare jeans and black sneakers. There was a headset as she was talking into it.
"So preparations are a go? Good, we'll get the plane up in an hour. Do you have that anti-trasportation sickness thing on it? I don't really like planes, but I don't like ships more." She said, listening to the voice on the other end. "Ugh, have a bucket ready just in case."
"Be careful, Heiwami." The voice said.
"Gotchya. It's just a plane ride, can't be that bad." The line cut off, and she stuffed the headset into her pocket, leaning on the railing of the balcony. "Let's see how the other students are doing."
-linebreakofsomesort-
"Master Blacksmith, Dragonan!" Kouichi called. [Master Blacksmith, Dragonan – 4000]
"Stardust Trumpeter!" yelled the proctor. [Stardust Trumpeter – 6000]
On Cray, a bulky man with a hand and a half sword in his right hand formed in a flash of black light. The weapon was made entirely from black steel, and was quite simple in design. A plain black hilt and crossguard went with his black gloves, short-sleeved shirt, apron, pants and boots, all shiny from the fact that they were wet, and made from dyed leather.
Across was a little girl with red hair in buns. She wore silver armour and colourful clothing underneath, with little wings on her back. She held a gold trumpet in her hand.
"I'll start by riding The Little Sage, Marron. I'll end my turn with that." The proctor said.
The girl transformed into a boy with blue hair and a blue sage's outfit. [Little Sage, Marron - 8000]
Kouichi snickered. "Royal Paladins? Pathetic. I'll beat the tar out of your pathetic knights with my own army! Draw!" Kouichi tore the top card from his deck, slipped it into his hand, and selected another card.
"I ride Grazel, the Missionary! Dragonan's skill moves him to the back-row." The blacksmith was replaced with a tall man clad in a black, hooded robe with a black wooden staff. Dragonan stabbed the sword into the dirt and jumped back, drawing a hammer from his apron. [Grazel, the Missionary - 8000]
"And I call the Dark Prophet, Ellindil!" A tall man with long grey hair clad in a black tunic belted at the waist, tight black pants, and black boots appeared on the field, grabbing the blade that Dragonan had wielded. [Dark Prophet, Elindil - 8000]
"I attack with Elindil!" Kouichi yelled. Grazel thrust his staff in front of him, and Elindil leapt across the field, his sword held for a thrust, his left hand out in front, palm out.
"No guard!" Elindil lashed out, and Marron swung his book. the sword cut through the cloth on the cover, revealing the wood underneath, and Ellindil's left hand lashed out as his sword slid down, punching Marron in the chest. Marron doubled over, and Ellindil swung his sword.
"Damage check . . . no trigger." Elindil retreated, leaving Marron to stand up again.
[Damage Check - Knight of Silence, Gallatin - No Trigger]
"Next, I attack with my vanguard, boosted by Dragonan!" Grazel leapt across the intervening space, and Marron, once again, held up the book to block. Grazel's staff shattered the book on contact, but the staff was stopped dead.
"Drive check!" Kouichi yelled, the back end of Grazel's staff smashed into marron's side.
[Drive Check - The Black Knight, Morgarath - No Trigger]
"Turn end!" Kouichi yelled. "Dragonan goes back to my deck!"

"I draw." The test proctor said. "And ride, the Knight of Silence, Gallatin! I call another Gallatin, Starlight unicorn, and Marron to rear-guard! Starlight Unicorn's skill gives power 2000 to my rear-guard Gallatin! Rear-guard Gallatin attacks first!" Gallatin leapt across the field, towards the Missionary. [10000 + 2000 = 12000]
"No guard! Damage Check."
[Damage Check - Black Esquire, Ramon - No Trigger]
"No trigger." said Kouichi. Gallatin's blade struck Grazel in the chest, cutting open his robe to reveal a tight black shirt underneath; the blade scored his chest, drawing blood. It was long and shallow.
"I attack with my Vanguard!" Grazel nodded, and held up his staff in both hands. "Drive check."
[Drive Check - Margal - Draw Trigger]
"Draw Trigger activated! Power to Vanguard and I draw one card" He slid out one card from the top of his deck, adding it to his hand, making 5 cards again. The Vanguard scored a scratch in Grazel's left side, drawing a little blood and staining his robe.
[Damage Check – Master Blacksmith, Dragonan – Draw Trigger]

"My turn!" Kouichi slid his gloved hand onto the deck and slipped away the top card, adding it to his hand.
"Now ride! The Black Knight, Morgarath!" A knight clad in black armour replaced the hooded Grazel, wielding a dagger in his right hand and a shield on his left arm. Black hair stuck out under his helmet, and Kouichi's face glared out from around the nose-guard. [The Black Knight, Morgarath – 9000]
"His skill takes his power down by 2000 . . . but let's fix that! I call, Black Esquire, Ramon!" A young boy, clad in a black turncoat over black chainmail appeared behind the black knight. "I activate his skill! By placing him into the soul, Morgarath's power grows by 3000!" [Black Esquire, Ramon – 6000]
The esquire helped his master belt on a sword, and Morgarath drew the blade, swinging it back and forth a few times. Ramon disappeared as Kouichi moved the card into the Soul.
"In his place, I call Ellindil, the Knight of Emptiness, Shapur, Eager Squire, Dreg, and I move Ellindil, and in his place, call Leon, the Bandit!"
A black-clad ninja with a katana held backwards in his right hand, 2 young boys in black chainmail and turncoats with short swords, and a man with long grey hair with only a tight black fur vest, hanging open, black pants and black boots to cover his muscular body held a 2-handed axe like a toy appeared around the black knight. Ellindil jumped to the back, terrified. [Dark Prophet, Elindil – 8000] [Knight of Emptiness, Shapur – 10000] [Eager Squire, Dreg – 6000] [Leon, the Bandit – 8000]
"Morgarath attacks your Vanguard! With Dreg's skill, his power is 20000!" Morgarath charged across the plain, his sword held over his head and his shield in front of him. [7000 + 3000 + 6000 + 4000 = 20000]
"I guard with Flogal!" yelled the proctor, "Also, I intercept with Gallatin!" Gallatin jumped in front of the Vanguard, and was quickly joined by Flogal, for a total power of 25000.
"Drive check . . . no trigger." Grazel appeared next to Morgarath's head, even as he cut down Gallatin and shield-bashed Flogal, but was too weak to fight the Vanguard. He jumped back.
[Drive Check – Leon, the Bandit – No Trigger]
"Counterblast 2!" Kouichi yelled as he took out a card from his deck. "Also, I retire the Dreg behind my Vanguard!" Dreg and Morgarath were consumed by an oval of black fire.
"Oh King and God, your dark knights await! RIDE, THE VANGUARD! I SUPERIOR RIDE, THE KING AND GOD OF THE DARK ONES, THE SHADOW KNIGHT!"
When the fire died, a knight stood in the place, in a black shirt, black vest with scabbards sticking out the sides, black pants, and black boots. He held a pair of katana so they lay back against his arms, like a dragon waiting to take flight and terrorize a city. [The King and God of the Dark Ones, the Shadow Knight – 11000]
"The Shadow Knight is rested when he is Superior ridden, so save your terror for the next turn. But my turn's not over yet! Boosted by Ellindil, Leon, the Bandit attacks your Vanguard!" His grey hair flying in the wind, Leon charged across the battlefield, axe above his head, yelling incoherently. [8000 + 8000 = 16000]
"Bringer of Good Luck, Epona will guard that!"
Leon sliced Epona in half, and, quicker than should have been possible, sliced up at Gallatin, who parried expertly. Leon jumped back.
"I attack with Knight of Emptiness, Shapur!" the ninja jumped forward, his sword held in a similar fashion to Kouichi's blades. [10000 + 8000 = 18000]
"No guard! Damage check."
[Damage Check - Flogal - Stand Trigger]
"Stand trigger. Power to Vanguard." Shapur dropped on top of Gallatin, slicing with his blade as he landed, on a slight angle so he could use his blade, but his eyes intent on Gallatin, who parried and launched a counterattack. Shapur dropped, kicked Gallatin's feet from under him, and cut open his side before jumping back.
"I end."

Kouichi made no move to stop the attack, and Gallatin's blade managed to make a long, shallow cut along his upper right arm.
[Damage Check – Master Blacksmith, Dragonan – Draw Trigger]
"Draw trigger activated. Power to Shadow Dragon and I draw 1 card." Kouichi said, drawing. [11000 + 5000 = 16000]

"Critical and power to Gallatin! I attack with Gallatin and Morgana's boost!" [10000 + 6000 + 5000 = 21000]
The knight leapt forwards and sliced the opposing knight across the side, causing him to yell in pain.

Kouichi smirked. "This . . . is the Final Turn!"
"I only have 3 damage!"
Kouichi ignored him. "I stand and draw! I retire Knight of Emptiness, Shapur, and, in his place, call Grazel, the Missionary (behind Vanguard) and High Priest Jacorin!" A man in a long, flowing black robe held a staff made of obsidian in his left hand appeared next to the Shadow Dragon.
"I activate his skill! I counter blast two and drop 1! All units on my field other than The Shadow Knight get 2000 power!" All the units glowed blue, gaining 2000 power.
"Now, boosted by Elindil, I attack your Vanguard with High Priest Jacorin!" [10000 + 8000 + 2000 + 2000 = 22000]
"I intercept with 2 Gallatins and guard with Marron!" Jacorin easily defeated the 2 knights and mage, but stopped dead when confronted by Alfred. He jumped back.
"Next I attack with my Vanguard, boosted by Ellindil!" [11000 + 8000 + 2000 = 21000]
"No guard!"
The Shadow Dragon jumped forward. "Twin Drive! The first . . ."
[Drive Check - Grazel, the Missionary - No Trigger]
"The second . . ."
[Drive Check - Dark Priest, Ledom - Stand Trigger]
"Stand Trigger activated! I stand Jacorin! Power 5000! Shadow Dragon's skill, he gets 2000 power when a Stand trigger is revealed!"
[Damage Check – Knight of Rose, Morgana – No Trigger]
"Damage Check . . . No trigger."
"I attack with Leon!" [8000 + 8000 + 2000 + 2000 = 20000]
"No guard!" Leon cleaved open Alfred's armor, his axe getting a cut from shoulder to hip. Blood oozed from the wound. "Damage check . . . no trigger."
[Damage Check – Solitary Knight, Gancelot – No Trigger]
"I told you it was Final Turn! Jacorin attacks again! Power 17000!" a beam of darkness shot from the end of the staff, striking Alfred's chest.
"Damage check."

"That's it? Ugh." Heiwami sighed, pulling out her headset and setting it up again. "Heiwami Soratsuki to base, Heiwami Soratsuki to base, do you read me?"
"Why do you insist on doing that?" The voice on the other end asked.
"Cause it's fun. Anyway, reporting from auditions. Get stronger proctors. These are too weak. They're making arrogant people get in thinking they're actually somebody."
"Aren't you being harsh?"
"Nope. I'm being truthful. Just do it for next year. Please!" The headset shut off, and she stuffed it back into her pocket. She breathed in, then out. She sighed. "Idiots everywhere."

Elsewhere on the field, one of the fights about to come to a close between an applicant and a proctor, but the fight isn't going well for the applicant.
Proctor - Emil
4 – Hand – 2
3 - Soul – 4
4 – Damage – 5
2 – Counter Blasted – 2
Field:
Karma Queen – Transmuted Thief, Steal Spider - - - - Knight of Superior Skills, Beumains – Blessing Owl
Blade Seed Squire – Avatar of the Plains, Behemoth - - - - Battlefield Storm, Sagramore – Fortune Bell
Lily Knight of the Valley – Iris Knight - - - - Knight of Elegant Skills, Gareth - none
This isn't looking too good for me, I'm sitting at five damage...if I take one more damage...plus Beaumains can't stand this turn. What should I do? She got two units to intercept and four cards in hand ready to block my attack…
The boy with flat, light blonde hair and lime green eyes panicked as he thought about the situation he was in at the moment. His white t-shirt was slightly wet from him thinking too hard and sweating about it.
"R-Right. I stand and draw…" He reached his gloved hand down to turn his vanguard vertically, and moved to stand his rear guards.
"Hold it, Mr. Walker!" His Proctor called out. His gloved hand stopped several inches from a card.
"Um, yes?"
"You can't stand Beaumains due to my Karma Queen skill, or did you forget?" It was a mix between a statement and a question.
Emil waved his gloved hands in front of him in a panicked fashion. "I- I'm sorry, it just I- I n- n- not use t- to f- fighting a- a M-Meagcolony and a - a Neo Nectar deck b-before, I sorry!"
The Proctor pressed her hand against her forehead, and shook her head. She tried to keep count of how many apologies he gave during the match, and this had to be at least the fortieth time. She lowered her gloved hand from her forehead, and opened her mouth. "I'm just reminding you, there no need to apologize."
"R-Right!" Emil drew his card and looked at his hand. "Um, I ride Great Silver Wolf, Garmore!" He shouted as the gold and silver man in armour tore onto the field. [Great Silver Wolf, Garmore – 10000]
"By counterblasting two cards, I can call a grade two or less Gold Paladin to a rearguard!" He flipped two cards and fanned out his deck. He took a card and replaced it with the unable-to-stand Beaumains. "Sleygal Sword! Sleygal Sword's counterblast, giving him 2000 power!" [Sleygal Sword – 9000]
"I also call Precipice Whirlwind, Sagramore behind Gareth!" A little boy with a bow appeared behind the warrior. [Precipice Whirlwind, Sagramore – 6000]
"Boosted by Blessing Owl, Sleygal Sword attacks your Vanguard!" [9000 + 2000 + 6000 = 17000]
"I guard with Dancing Sunflower!" The proctor held out the card.
"N-Next, boosted by Sagramore, Gareth attacks!" [8000 + 6000 = 14000]
"Blade Seed Squire guards!"
"W-What?!" Emil only had one attack left. "T-Then, boosted by Fortune Bell, Garmore attacks! Garmore's Limit Break! Since I have four or more damage, he gains 5000 power!" [10000 + 5000 + 5000 = 20000]
"I guard with Dungan Chestnut. Also, Iris Knight intercepts."
"N-No…" Emil gulped. "Twin Drive….. first check….. no trigger." He added the card to his hand sadly.
[Drive Check – Sacred Guardian Beast, Nemean Lion – No Trigger]
"Second check….."
He flipped the top card and it flashed. Emil's eyes widened when he saw the card.
[Drive Check – Flame of Victory – Critical Trigger]
"Flame of Victory! Critical trigger!"
"What?! A critical trigger now?!" The proctor gasped.
"The power and critical both go to Garmore!" Emil shouted happily.
Garmore jumped forward and slashed through the two guarding units. Then he charged at Behemoth and cut right through the beast.
"Damage trigger check. First check… nothing" The proctor placed the card into her damage zone.
[Damage Check – Karma Queen – No Trigger]
"Second check?"
[Damage Check – Four Clover Fairy – Draw Trigger]
Emil and the proctor stared at it. "Draw trigger…." The proctor said sadly and sighed. "You pass."
Behemoth dissolved and Garmore stood up proudly.
"I-I won." Emil said blankly, not realizing what he had just done. "I actually won." He snapped out of his trance and immediately bowed. "I'm so sorry! Sorry sorry sorry!"

Heiwami watched the sight and sighed. "That guy apologizes WAY too much! Still…." She watched the guy bowed over and over as the proctor sweat-dropped and tried to get him to stop. ". . he does have potential. I guess."
"U-Um, excuse me?" A voice came from behind her. Heiwami turned around to see a Caucasian-skinned girl with amber eyes and long, silver hair. "Could you please tell me whose fight is next?" Some boys around them blushed at the sight of the pretty, silver-haired girl.
Heiwami raised one of her eyebrows as she pointed at the speaker behind the girl.
"Would Rei Anakisa please report to field 2? Miss Rei Anakisa!"
"A-Ah! Yes!" The girl nodded and ran off the balcony to her fight.
"Anakisa? That's the Anakisa?" Heiwami muttered to herself. "Oh whatever. See what she's got." She looked around at the fights again, then at her watch. "We're running out of time. Hurry it up."

"Stand and draw!" Rei called as she drew her card and looked at her hand thoroughly. "I call Million Ray Pegasus to the empty rear-guard!" The Pegasus galloped onto the field.
"Nociel boosts Million Ray Pegasus and attacks your Vanguard!" She called as the Pegasus charged towards the goddess.
"I guard with Lozenge Magus!" The proctor called.
"Geniel attacks boosted by Bethnael! Geniel's skill! Since my vanguard is an Angel Feather, he gains 2000 power for a grand total of 20000!"
"What?!" The proctor called and looked at his hand. Dark Cat. Shield 5000. "No guard!"
Geniel shot a bullet towards Amaterasu and she screamed as it hit.
"Damage trigger check."
[Damage Check – Sword Dancer Angel – No Trigger]
"No trigger…" The proctor sighed. "You win."
"Yay!" Rei cheered.
"Attention. Will all successful applicants please board the plane? All successful applicants, please board the plane outside." The speaker came on and said.
Rei smiled as she made her way to the plane, accidentally bumping into Emil on the way. "Oh! Sorry!" She apologized.
"U-Um, that's okay. I'm sorry." Emil said quickly. Rei smiled again at him, causing a blush on the boy, before walking onto the plane. Emil let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. He was way too stressed out.
Rei sat down in the seat next to a silent boy, she thought is was Kouichi, remembering the name from his match, after putting her luggage away and took out her music player. She put her headphones on and began listening to music as she read a manga.
I still can't believe I actually won! I pulled out a critical trigger on my twin drive! Emil thought as he followed the successful applicants to board the plane for the academy. He took the seat behind Kouichi.
Still, here we go! It's off to Vanguard Academy! Emil thought excitedly.
Don't worry Grandpa! I'll definitely help you. Rei thought determinedly.
Vanguard Academy. I'll get stronger here! Kouichi thought, his fist clenching around the magazine.
Heiwami sighed. "Let's get this over with."
Run run run. That's all I ever seem to do, isn't it. But if I complete the mission, everything'll return to normal. Everything…
The speaker system on the plane crackled to life. "Attention all passengers! The plane will be taking off now! Please fasten your seatbelts! And as your captain, let me be the first person to say welcome to Vanguard Academy!"
