Cardfight! Vanguard: Gathering Heroes
Chapter 1: First Gathering
It was a dark room, with one round silver table, and 5 cloaked figures around them. They were all in black. There were 2 figures on either side, and one at the head of the table. He spoke in an ancient and broken voice, "My dear ones, we have gathered today-" he got into a coughing fit," to decide what shall be done first. We have all agreed on who to send out, but, nevertheless, we don't know who the Protector's of Cray are. But, I am sure the Protector's will be talented young men and women, but we'll be more of a challenge than they shall ever be. Once we get those 5 cards, we will release HIM!" Each of the cloaked figures nodded, got up, and left the room.
Its 2049, where Vanguard has enhanced quiet a lot. Right now, you could have Card Fights on a Vanguard Disk, which were like the Duel Disks, but they were like Aporia's, and instead of the green light, you got to choose what its colour was, AND you could choose the colours of where you put your Vanguard, Rearguards, Drop Zone, and Damage Zone. You probably get the idea. Instead of having to carry them on your arm while Card Fighting, there was a flight system that allowed it to levitate, making it way cooler, until your younger sibling pushed it down.
Right now, we are at a HUGE card shop, which was pretty much were tables in another room, but in here was a huge arena. There was a counter that extended from wall-to-wall, and had what seemed like infinite packs of cards. In the far corner was tall boy, average height for a teenager, with black shoulder-length hair, and brown eyes. He wore a black T-shirt, black jeans, and a black coat knee length coat. On his back was a V-Disk, and he was staring at the wall, waiting for a worthy opponent. He had apparently beaten EVERYONE in the shop, and nobody wanted to play him. Other kids were playing games, while he stood there, very lonely, until a girl comes in.
She wore in a white skirt and a yellow shirt, and she was beautiful. She had waist-length red hair, and wasn't the slim everybody drools over, just slim, but normal. She had brown eyes, and fine lips. Some of the guys stopped to drool after her, and some of the girls got in groups already forming a conspiracy against her.
"Hi," she said to the shopkeeper. She had a golden V-disk slung on her back. "I'd like to buy the Liberator of the Sanctuary Trial Deck."
"Alright," said the man in his 40's, with brown hair fading into white strands. He bought her the deck, and she paid him.
"Now who should I play with?" she murmured to the shopkeeper.
"Kalin!" the shopkeeper shouted across the shop. The boy in black raised his head, eyebrows raised along with it. "Come over here!" Kalin did so.
"Yes, Mr. Black?" Kalin says in a cool and rich voice.
"Can you play this girl over here? She's new and would like_"
"Humph, I understand," Kalin interrupted. "Come along."
She did so, and they walked over to a square arena. They both drew their V-disks, and they pressed a button on the right end of the disk. The V-disk levitated, and lights came out of the girls gold Aporia-like disk: white field, with yellow circles, Damage Zone, Drop Zone, and deck Zone, all yellow.
The same happened with Kalin's black one: black field, with purple circles, Damage Zone, Deck Zone, and Drop Zone. They both fanned their decks, selecting a card and placing it face-down on the middle circle.
"What's your name by the way?" Kalin asked.
"I'm Annie," she answered.
"You know the rules?" the answer was a shake of the head." Alright, first we both draw five cards, and we both redraw any we don't want," so they both did so," And now, the system works." A glass wall appeared around them, and the place was suddenly a rocky terrain, dark skies, and thunder booming overhead.
"Stand Up, Vanguard!"
"Stand Up, Vanguard!"
Two units appeared on either side, one a woman in black and purple armour, with a visor on her forehead, with a dark red cape, holding a weapon, while on the other side appeared a young angel with sword and shield, golden helmet, red and white coat, angelic wings, and golden greaves.
"Angelic Liberator!" declared Annie. (Angelic Liberator – 6000)
"Frontline Revenger, Claudus!" Kalin declared. (Frontline Revenger, Claudus – 5000)
"How come you have such a rare card?!" she exclaimed.
"I have my connections," he said silently. "I'm going first. At the start of each of our turns, we draw," he did so. "And now, this is my Ride Phase, which comes after the Stand Phase. Now listen closely. I get to "Ride" a card as long as it's the same Grade or higher than Claudus. So, now, I Ride Sacrilege Revenger, Berith!" (Sacrilege Revenger, Berith – 7000)
Darkness engulfed Claudus as she became a man wearing black armour, with golden plates, with blue energy running through them. He had blond hair. He was riding on a black armoured horse with golden parts of armour. Claudus reformed behind Berith, smiling.
"Claudus moves here, and I end my turn," Kalin said, sliding the card the Soul

"Alright. I draw!" she exclaimed. "Ride, Little Liberator, Marron!" (Little Liberator, Marron – 7000)
Light engulfed the Angelic Liberator she became a woman in blue and gold, holding a spell book in her hand.
"Your Vanguard won't battle alone," Kalin started. "You can call any units to battle with your Vanguard, as long as it isn't a higher grade."
"Okay," she murmured. "Then I'll call… Pomergal Liberator!" (Pomergal Liberator – 7000)
A very cute dog appeared, with golden fur appeared beside Marron.
"Pomergal attacks first!" Annie turned the card sideways.
"I won't guard," Kalin replied.
The dog ran forward and managed to bite Kalin's Vanguard.
"Since your attack hit, I check the top card of my deck and out it in the Damage Zone to check for a trigger," Kalin said, and he did so.
(Damage Check – Black Clothed Revenger, Taruto)
Now Marron attacks, and I check for a trigger!" Annie says."
(Drive Trigger – Zoigal Liberator)
"I never explained checking for triggers," Kalin says darkly, and both of their eyes fill with dancing lights. "So you're one of them too, huh?"
"I set out on finding people with PSYQualia, and Protector's too, and I had heard of you being such a hot-shot, so I came in to check if you were one, and seems like you are," Annie explains.
"Shall we bring this Card Fight to an end then?" Kalin suggested. They collected their cards, turned off the boomerangs looking V-disks that made it possible to fight like this, and strapped them to their backs. "Where do we go next?"
"The Aqua Land, we gotta go by ship. I've heard there were many Card Fighters who had come to challenge a certain Card Fighter, and I bet he's a Protector," Annie answered, serious now.
"Let's go, then," Kalin said, and they walked out.
Author's Note: Hey guys! So this is my first chapter, hope you like it, so please write a review. I also wanted to tell you that Kalin's fights will be sort of limited until we get many of the Revenger archetype cards. This is also my first fanfic, hope you like it!
I'm also accepting OC's. For those of you wishing to give any, please send me a message.
