Pale Moon

Chapter 1 Asaka

"How can I do this?" I scream, my cards are scattered along my desk like a hurricane had hit

"Is everything okay in there?" my brother asks on the other side of the door "Don't make me come in there!" he throws the door open and runs into the room and slams his hand on the desk, allowing some cards to float off the table "If you don't get downstairs you won't be going to school"

"Tobi you can't do that" my mother said as she is standing in the door way with her amazing smile,

"Fine but Sai you need to get up, schools in ten minutes"

The two leave the room and I go to my wardrobe and get changed into my usual clothing black jacket, white top, dark trousers and brown boots. Clean my teeth and sit down with my deck

"I'll sort the rest at school" I pick them up and head out.

School was ok, I spent most of the day with Aichi Sendo, he's pretty quiet, Kai just stares at everyone thinking he's the best cardfighter here but I'm going to prove him wrong. Each day our teacher seem to get even more like the masked ninja that appears at Card Capital

Card Capital…

I walk in and everyone is there, Misaki, Kamui, Aichi, even Kai.

"Hey Sai come and fight me" Kamui shouts

"Fight him yo" is companions say

"I don't think I'm ready yet I've just got to-"
"Hey guys come here we have some new stock for you" Shin calls

"Sai I want you to train up, if you get good enough you could have the fourth spot, Kai will go if no-one else wants to, take these cards to boost your deck" and he hands me a few cards face down

"Thanks Shin I won't let you down" I say as I smile down at the cards

"I know you won't disappoint anyone"

I sit down at a table and spend some time fixing the deck

"Hey you done yet?" Kamui belts out

"Yes I'm coming"

We stand opposite "This is for you Miss Emi"

"Stand Up the Vanguard!"

"The girl who crossed the gap"
"Battleraiser, wait you use the Pale Moon clan?"

"Draw, I ride Midnight Bunny and move The girl who crossed the gap to the rear-guard, I end."

We go for a while and it's my turn

"This is the final act in our play, Final Turn! Draw, I ride Barking Manticore, draw and I put crimson beast tamer into the soul, call!."
"You can be serious"

"yeah yo"
"Supported by Turquoise beast tamer, Mirror Demon attacks"
"No guard"
"Damage check"

"Now I'm activating Mirror demons skill, putting him in the soul to bring Alice back in the spotlight,"

"Supported by Purple trapezist Alice attacks"

"No guard"
" damage check"
"Activating Alice's skill sending her to the soul to call Barking Cerberus"

"He attacks"

"Shout and an intercept will guard"
"And the show will now come to an end with this final performance, Barking Manticore attacks with support from Midnight Bunny"

"No guard"

"Twin Drive"
"Check one, nothing"
"Check two, crit trigger!"
"Damage check"
"Check one, nothing"
"Check two, stand trigger…"

"Now the curtains close on this amazing performance" and I bow.

"Wow that was amazing" Shin says "See how the cards I gave you mix with the deck you had before?"
"Yes thanks Shin, the combo of moving through the soul is so much fun" I say smiling.

"Thanks for the match bro, can't wait for you to join us in the tournament"

"Well…erm…I don't know if I'm ready for it"
"Neither did I but thanks to my friends and their support, nothing will stop us from winning" Aichi said as he put his arm across his chest with his fist clenched.

"I will go then, if you need me that much"

Kai stands up and turns to me "If you think you are going to take my spot, you must prove yourself worthy, I won't go easy"

"I wouldn't expect any less Kai"

"Wait Sai against Kai, their so similar"

"Stand up the vanguard!"
