Hi, everyone! This is a new chapter! Chapter 2! What will happen now that Aichi's secret is going to be revealed?! Let's start!

Normal POV

Aichi was now a high school first year in Miyaji High and he'd promised his friends that he would tell them his secret, so immediately after school, he went towards the AL4 building as he was led into the building by Tetsu. He knew that he was being followed but the person couldn't enter the building without an access pass anyway. They were now seated in a meeting room, with Aichi at the very end. He was fidgeting a little with all the attention on him as they waited for him to talk.

" A-Anyway, I'm surprised to see Chris-kun and the others here too..." Aichi said

" We're here to research on the people cardfighting here in Japan but we're also curious to listen in as well." Chris said

" I-I see... W-Well, where should I start...? I came from another card game called 'Buddyfight'. I was a being born in a world called Dungeon World, eventually, I was chosen as its Omni Lord. But I wanted to be a human, so I just came here. Joker is my Buddy Monster and somewhat, a bodyguard." Aichi said

" And I presume your real name is 'Miserea', correct? We heard Joker say that before." Ren said

" Yes. My name is Third Omni Water Lord, Miserea. As my name states, I make use of the power of water." Aichi said

" Wow..." Kamui exclaimed

" I wasn't from this city at first actually. Only my mother know this truth. We moved from another city and I had friends there. It's just... Because of my powers, I don't dare to touch that card game anymore. I only use them if I need it and I'm scared of hurting people. That's why I came here and I was introduced to Vanguard." Aichi said

" Then your friends from the other city..." Misaki said

" I still keep in contact in them. So many years have passed and not much has changed. I changed my form to that of a child when I first met Kai-kun. Joker insisted on punishing the bullies but in the end, they were just children." Aichi said

" So... You took all those beating on purpose?" Kai ask

" Yes. I'm kind of used to it, so there wasn't any problems." Aichi replied

Silence...

" I've never wanted to admit it this openly but you're amazing..." Misaki said

" Huh?"

" Never mind..." She sighed

" By the way, the VF High School Championship is coming up soon. I heard Leon-kun will be coming over to find out about our fighter's abilities." Ren said

" Oh, I might not be able to participate... You see, our school has always focused on studies, so there's almost little to zero Vanguard fighters." Aichi said

" Eh? And I thought if you join, it'll be livelier..." Ren whined

" I'm sorry. But you mentioned that Leon-kun is coming over, but when?" Aichi ask

" I think a few weeks later... Maybe a week before the Championship." Ren replied

" I see. I'll look forward to seeing him again then." Aichi said

" Then, since everyone is here... Let's head to Card Capital!" Kamui said

" Sure!"

" We'll have to stay here." Asaka said

" We have some school things to settle here. Let's meet again someday." Ren said

" Yeah!"

They exited the building as Aichi and the others started to walk to Card Capital.

" It's been awhile, so let's have a few rounds of cardfight when we reach." Aichi said

" Yeah!"

Aichi also noticed the same person following them again as he shrugged off his thoughts. They quickly arrived at Card Capital as they sat down at a table. Misaki went to man the counter as usual.

" But I have one more question... Why are you exhausted that time?" Kamui ask

" Like I said, I was using another world other than Dungeon World. It exhausts my strength and energy, so I try not to use them too much." Aichi replied

" But why not Dungeon World?" Kai ask

" You see... There's many long names and it's hard to pronounce, especially in a crisis..." Aichi said

Sweat drop...

" I see..."

" Well, I don't think you'll have to use them so much. Unless there's an emergency..." Chris said

" Yeah. I sure hope there won't be any..." Aichi said

Aichi then spotted the person who'd been following them and recognized him as his classmate, Naoki Ishida.

" What's up, Sendou? You're like a totally different person here than at school! And you're buddies with some guys from another country? Talk about global! Anyway, how'd you get like this?" Naoki ask

" Um... This..." Aichi said while showing him his deck

" What's this?" Naoki ask

" Cardfight." Aichi said

" Cardfight?" Naoki repeated

" It's Vanguard. Don't tell me you've never heard of it? You fight each other with cards. It's a card game that's really popular worldwide." Chris explained

" Vanguard? Worldwide?" Naoki repeated again

"That's right. A lot of countries hold international tournaments, too. You really don't know? It's common knowledge!" Lee said

" Common knowledge, you say?" Naoki said while placing his deck back on the table

" Oh, boy, you're a goner. Girls aren't gonna go for a know-nothing like you." Ali added

" What did you say?!" Naoki said while facing Aichi

" Eh? Me?" Aichi said

" So this is Vanguard?" Naoki asked one more time

" Uh huh. You use this deck to battle. Um, do you want to try it?" Aichi ask

" F-Fine, I'll play along once." Naoki said then Manager passed him a trial deck and they started their fight

" Stand Up, Vanguard!"

They continued their battle and when the sixth damage had fallen on Naoki's damage zone, the battle ended...

" 6 damage." Naoki said defeatingly

" So, the match is over. Ishida-kun?" Aichi ask

Naoki just bought the deck and ran out of Card Capital... At that time, Miwa and the others arrived as Aichi sat down and sighed.

" Come on, Aichi! Don't be so down! You went plenty easy on him already!" Chris said

" I don't know..." Aichi sighed

" Well, he bought a deck back, right? That shows that he's interested in Vanguard." Kai said

" I see... I guess I just have to reach out to him then... Thank you, Kai-kun!" Aichi said

" Get a grip. You're a leader, right?" Kai ask

" B-But if you say it like that..." Aichi stuttered

" Did we miss out something, Kai? You seem more open to Aichi than us." Miwa said

" There's nothing going on." Kai said, turning away and blushing

" Really?" Miwa ask

" Let's go, Aichi." Kai said

" Y-Yes!"

" Have fun but don't go too crazy!" Miwa shouted

" Shut up!" Kai shouted

Aichi ran after Kai as he caught up with him and panted.

" K-Kai-kun... W-What's wrong?" Aichi ask

" Let's wait until we reach my apartment." Kai replied

" Sure..."

Kai opened the door once they arrived at his apartment as he welcomed Aichi in and they both sat down on the ground. Kai pulled him to lie on his chest as Aichi blushed.

" Kai-kun?"

" If another chaos were to happen again and you have no choice but to let your true identity out... Will you do it?" Kai ask

" Of course. I love this world and I wish to be a human so badly. It was all thanks to everyone here. It's also thanks to you that I understood love." Aichi replied

" Aichi..."

" I love everyone and especially, you... Kai-kun. All these years, all I had was Joker's company and even so... I'm still happy. Now that I met all of you..." Aichi said

" I'm happy too, Aichi. I think if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get out of this solitude life. I wish I could also stay with you forever." Kai said

" Me too... Now let's stop this. You only asked me to come here for this?" Aichi ask

" No... I don't know... Would you like to stay for dinner?" Kai ask

" Sure!"

Kai smiled a little as he made some dinner. He then walked Aichi home before waving him off. In the next few days, Aichi was able to form a Cardfight club as they were now in Fukuhara High observing the match of Leon vs Asaka, which it ended with Leon's win. Leon took notice of Aichi and the others as he made his way up the stairs and to them.

" It's been awhile, Leon-kun. You're strong as ever." Aichi said

" You're the one to say that." Leon said

" Well..." Aichi said

" You helped me a lot back then." Leon said

" Oh, that's alright." Aichi said, understanding what Leon meant

" I can only be grateful that you helped us back then, Miser-!" Leon was stopped by Aichi

" Aichi?" Naoki ask

" U-Uh... W-We need to go outside for a bit if you don't mind..." Aichi said

He dragged Leon out of the building as he sat on the grass and sighed.

" That was close..." Aichi sighed

" I'm sorry, Miserea-sama. I forgot about it." Leon said

" That's why I said not to be so formal. I'm already satisfied if you're happy." Aichi said

" But I won't be satisfied until I return the favour and it's a big favor. It had to at least be this." Leon said

" Here, sit down." Aichi said, patting the empty space beside him

Leon listened and sat beside him.

" What a nice breeze." Aichi said

" Yeah."

" You know, even if I didn't have all this power, I'd still try my best to save you." Aichi said

" Really?"

" Yeah. To me, every single life living here is precious to me... I'd do anything to protect this beautiful place." Aichi said

" Me too." Leon said

Aichi smiled as he conjured up a crystal bottle full of water inside it and handed it to Leon.

" This has a little of my power. You can use it on anything, it has a healing effect and if I'm correct, it can also grow those trees on your island." Aichi said

He conjured up a little drop of water as a flower grew from the ground.

" Like that." Aichi said

" So one drop can already do this much..." Leon exclaimed

" Yeah. The healing properties inside are strong. You must absolutely let a person drink it if they're severely wounded or if it's only a little wounded, one drop on the wound is also enough." Aichi explained

" Thanks. I'll be sure to put it to good use." Leon said

" I know you will." Aichi said

" Are you worried about Void?" Leon ask

" Yes. If it were to counter attack us in the future, I wish to protect everyone with the best ability I can..." Aichi said

" Then, I'll fight alongside you when that time comes." Leon said

" Leon-kun. It'll be dangerous but... I don't think you'll take 'no' as an answer. Sure." Aichi said

" Yeah."

" And if that time really comes... I need your help." Aichi said

" With?" Leon ask

Aichi told him about something as Leon nodded. They suddenly saw their friends coming out of the building. Leon wore the bottle around his neck as they stood up.

" There you are! Training! I lost to that Sailor Suit! I'm not gonna give up yet!" Naoki said

" S-Sailor Suit?" Aichi ask

" It's Suiko. She joined this school and she beat Ishida in a fight just now after you left." Kourin said

" I see..."

They stood up and left but a bad feeling never left Aichi. That was the reason he'd given Leon the bottle, in case anything were to happen. And it was proven to be true...

~ Time skip~

A few weeks after their loss in the VF High School semi-final rounds to Fukuhara High, they were still striving for next year. However, whatever happened to Naoki a week ago had bothered Aichi for a long time, especially when he suddenly lost contact with Kai the next day. Today, there was a parents' observation day. He knew he'd to concentrate for now.

" Just in case... I asked Leon-kun to go there and call for help... I wonder how they'll look like now and how the new generation look like..." Aichi thought

While they were still listening to class, there was a sudden earthquake as Aichi looked out of the window to see a giant black ring opening up above the school and weird units flew out of it.

" What's that?!"

" What's going on?!"

" Why is there a ring in the sky?!"

" No way..." Aichi exclaimed

One of the units flew into the classroom as the whole class panicked.

" What's that?!" Naoki exclaimed

" Are they... units?!" Shingo exclaimed

" Hey, Sendou! Is this related to whatever card game you guys are involved in?!" A classmate ask

" I don't know... I've never seen them before... But don't panic too much... Otherwise, it'll alarm the whole school and everyone will be in danger..." Aichi replied

More units flew into the classroom as one of them spotted Aichi and charged at him.

" Of all things..." Aichi muttered

He pushed his classmate aside as he dodged the unit, as if by cue, more units entered the class.

" Why... are there so many...?! Am I really left with no choice?!" Aichi thought

" Miserea-sama! Let me handle this!" A voice said

Joker came out of the emblem as he started to attack the units.

" Joker!" Aichi softly exclaimed

" Another one?!" Naoki exclaimed

Joker took out most of the units but he was slowly getting tired as a unit snuck up on him from behind but a shield suddenly blocked it.

" I cast! Divine Protection of Shalsana!" It was Aichi!

" Aichi!" Naoki exclaimed

" The names are really long... Maybe I should really use another one..." Aichi said

" Aichi, behind you!" Naoki shouted

" Huh?"

Aichi turned behind as he took out another card.

" I guess I should call another one... I call! Twin Tail Incubus!" Aichi declared

Incubus attacked the unit that was behind Aichi as he took out another card to help Joker.

" Joker! Get back!" Aichi shouted

Joker jumped away as Aichi threw the card.

" I cast! Magical Goodbye!"

The units disappeared but more also appeared.

" There's so many..." Aichi muttered

" This is truly the best day ever, get it?" Joker ask

" Not now..." Aichi sighed

" You think we can finish this by today?" Joker ask

" We have to." Aichi replied

He heard a scream as he turned to see that Incubus was defeated and he reverted back to a card.

" Incubus!"

" Aichi, look out!" Naoki shouted

Aichi turned behind him. Joker was being distracted by other units but a unit had gone behind him and left a large wound on his shoulder. He fell to the floor.

" Aichi!"

" No!"

Just as the units were about to take Aichi away, a sword destroyed most of the units and a light blue haired boy was there.

" Leave him alone!" He shouted

A few other people entered the class to fend off the units as another guy entered the room and Aici recognized him.

" Count Dawn..." Aichi muttered

" Miserea!"

Kai rushed into the classroom after him along with Leon and the others as he picked Aichi up.

" Aichi! What happened?!" Kai exclaimed

" Bring him to the infirmary for treatment!" Misaki said

Kai nodded as he carried Aichi to the infirmary. Count Dawn informed the ones who they called to help to meet them at the infirmary as well before following after them.

~ An hour later~

After being able to get rid of the black ring by defeating Maki, Kai and the others were waiting outside the infirmary for any news on Aichi as Count Dawn came out.

" Aichi! How is he?!" Kai ask

" I can't do anything. The wound is too large for him to heal properly and he's also running a fever. We may be immortal but just wounds like this can potentially..." Count Dawn said, stopping in the middle of his sentence

" No... Aichi's not going to die!" Kai said

He rushed into the room as he closed the door and sat down beside Aichi. He held his warm hand as Aichi opened his eyes weakly.

" Kai-kun..." Aichi muttered

" I'm here." Kai said

" I'm sorry..." Aichi muttered

" Why are you apologizing? I should be the one to do that... If I'd came earlier, this wouldn't have happened!" Kai said

" I'm sleepy..." Aichi muttered, his eyes half closed

" No, please don't sleep! Don't close your eyes!" Kai exclaimed

Kai continued to grip Aichi's hand as he felt his temperature dropping rapidly.

" You can't leave me like this, Aichi!" Kai exclaimed

Leon rushed into the room as he took out the bottle Aichi gave.

" Miserea-sama entrusted this to me! It can heal even the most major wounds! Let him drink this before it's too late!" Leon said

Kai quickly took the bottle as he opened it and allowed Aichi to drink it.

" Please work... Please... It has to work..." Kai muttered, gripping Aichi's hand harder

Aichi's finger twitched as his pale face returned to its original color. Slowly, his eyes opened back up again.

" Kai-kun...?" Aichi ask

" Aichi!"

" What happened to me...? I felt like I was having a bad dream..." Aichi said

" But you woke up from it in the end... That's all that matters." Kai said

Aichi suddenly yawned.

" I guess I'm still tired... Thank you, Leon-kun..." Aichi said

" Yeah."

" Rest well." Kai said

Aichi nodded as he slowly fell sound asleep. Kai smiled while patting his head.

" Thanks, Leon. You saved me a lot of trouble." Kai said, a dark aura suddenly surrounding him

Leon's eyes widened as he was thrown out of the door.

" Leon-sama!"

Kai chuckled lowly as he showed his Reverse marks to them. The others gasped as they saw Aichi floating beside Kai.

" What are you doing?! I thought you weren't Reversed!" The light blue haired boy exclaimed

" I was. Long, long time ago. Thanks for healing Aichi. Now I don't have to worry about anything. Although, I do have to punish a few units." Kai said

" We're taking him back!" Count Dawn said

Kai put up a shield of red mist as he blocked Count Dawn's attack.

" Is that all? Well, if that is all, I'll take my leave now." Kai said

Red mist surrounded him and Aichi as they disappeared.

" He completely tricked us..." Count Dawn said

" Not only that, I saw him taking the emblem as well. That means Joker is with them." Misaki said

" What exactly is this Link Joker planning...?" Naoki exclaimed

" I don't know..." Misaki replied


~ An hour later~

At the Tatsunagi Building, Aichi woke up as he sat up from the bed he was lying on.

" Where am I...?" Aichi ask

He stood up weakly and held his shoulder as he walked around the room. He found the light switch as he turned it on. The room was decorated in blue, which was his favourite color and there was some decorated in red and black.

" Well... This is a neat and pretty room..." Aichi thought

" But whose room is this?" Aichi muttered

The door suddenly opened as he saw Kai holding a tray of food and drink on it.

" It's yours, of course." Kai said

" My room's not like this and it's definitely not big like this." Aichi said

" Then let me rephrase my sentence... It's your new room." Kai said

" What do you mean?" Aichi ask

Kai smirked as his Reverse marks appeared and Aichi gasped.

" Do you get it now? Link Joker is keeping you here forever." Kai said

" Why?! You didn't contact me or told me anything because you're working for them?!" Aichi exclaimed

" That's right. And do you know why?" Kai ask

Kai placed the tray on the table and walked closer to Aichi as he backed away as he fell back onto the bed and Kai crawled on top of him. He held his chin after that.

" Link Joker is Void's clan, Void's avatar. Void desires your power, the Third Omni Water Lord, Miserea. I'm only doing whatever they want, in exchange to keep you company and do whatever I want." Kai said

" I won't let you!" Aichi said, water surrounding them

" It's no use." Kai said

The water suddenly disappeared.

" The water!" Aichi exclaimed

Aichi gasped again as he felt Kai's knee pushing in between his legs.

" No!" Aichi screamed

" You're powerless inside here. Void's essence surrounds this room and disables your powers. At this point of time, you're counted as a normal human." Kai said

Aichi tried to push his knee away but Kai had used one hand to pin both his wrists above his head while his legs were forcefully spread wide open by his other hand.

" You look so cute and vulnerable, Aichi. I want to play with you even more." Kai said, pushing his knee harder

" Stop it!" Aichi screamed

Slowly, his screams started to turn into half moaning as Kai chuckled.

" Let me hear more. That sound is music to my ears." Kai said

" Kai-kun..." Aichi moaned, his face beet red and sweaty

Satisfied with what he'd done, Kai let Aichi go as Aichi allowed his breathing and heart beat to slow down after what happened. His face slowly turned back to its normal color as he sat up.

" Come on. Let's give you your lunch." Kai said

Kai helped Aichi up, much to his refusal, as he was forcefully sat at the table. He wanted to get up but Kai pushed him back down.

" Don't make me tie you up and feed you. Don't forget that if I do that, I can continue to do whatever I was doing just now." Kai warned

At that, Aichi became obedient as Kai smirked and started to feed Aichi his lunch. After lunch, Kai let Aichi drink his water as he placed the tray aside. When he turned back, Aichi was rubbing his eyes.

" What did you do to me...?" Aichi ask

" Hm... What if I said that I added some sleeping medicine unevenly inside your lunch?" Kai ask

" Why...?" Aichi ask

" I know you won't keep still and try to escape. If I don't do this, you'll never listen to me." Kai said

Kai kissed his lips as he carried Aichi and laid him down on his bed. He pulled up the blanket and patted his head. Aichi's vision started to turn black.

" Good night." Kai said

And everything went black...


Meanwhile...

" I demand that you let me see my lord right now! You won't get away with this!" It was Joker

" You're really noisy for a bodyguard." Reversed Takuto said

" I won't stop talking until you let me see Miserea-sama!" Joker said

" Ugh... Why am I left with you?" Reversed Takuto muttered

Suddenly, a light bulb appeared above Joker.

" I just had a brilliant idea!" Joker said

He used his powers to smash through the glass the emblem and him were trapped inside as he made his escape.

" Now to find Miserea-sama." Joker said

Link Joker units chased after him as he found a room to hide inside. After making sure the units were gone, he looked around the room before spotting Aichi lying on the bed.

" Miserea-sama! Wake up!" Joker said

Aichi opened his eyes with difficulty as he saw Joker.

" Joker..." Aichi muttered

" Don't worry. I'll get us out of here." Joker said

" I'm too tired to move... They gave me a strong sleeping medicine..." Aichi muttered

" Then get on my back! We're getting out of here!" Joker said

Aichi nodded as he got on Joker's back. After making sure no one was outside, Joker flew out of the room and the building. Unknown to them, Kai was watching them.

" I was hoping I didn't have to make your capture difficult, Aichi. But you left me with no choice..." Kai said


Meanwhile, Naoki was endlessly pacing back and forth in their classroom after Aichi was captured by Kai.

" Naoki, calm down. Pacing back and forth won't work." Misaki said

" But we don't know how Aichi's doing right now!" Naoki said

" Calm down. We know for certain that they won't bring harm to him, so we can only think up of a plan here." Count Dawn said

Suddenly, there was a slamming sound on the window as they turned to see that Joker had hit the window glass. They hurriedly let him in as he let Aichi down.

" Aichi!"

" Don't worry. He's sleeping." Joker said

" What a relief!" Naoki sighed

" How did you escape?" Count Dawn ask

" Well, the enemies didn't know that I could materialize out of the emblem and so I escaped." Joker replied

" That's a little..."

" Never mind that! I got another news for you guys!" Joker said

" What is it?" Misaki ask

" You know the barrier you guys created while the both of us were gone?" Joker ask

" Yeah, go on."

" I had to slice it to open to get in here and... I kind of let some enemies in..." Joker said

Silence... They then spotted Link Joker units flying into the classroom through the open window.

" JOKER!"
