Neb: I do not own Cardfight Vanguard. OC vanguard player.

Yoshinari readied himself for the next challenge. There were three guys all with white hair who had stolen a kid's vanguard card.

"Give it back," the kid cried.

"No way," one of the white-haired guys yelled. "This card is a Musketeer, it's a way too valuable for a wimp like you to hold onto it. The rules are, you have to beat all three of us in vanguard."

"That's not fair," the kid cried. "What are the odds of me winning three matches in a row."

"Give it back to him," Yoshinari spoke up. The three guys were startled given Yoshinari had snuck up on them unintentionally. "I'll face all three of you." They stared at him and laughed.

"Good luck with that," one of them yelled. "What do we get out of beating you?" He showed them his deck.

"My whole deck and my love fore Vanguard," he explained. "I will give you my deck and quit the game."

"Why should we care if you play or not?" one of them asked.

"It doesn't matter if you care," he yelled. "Cause if I can't even get a kid his beloved card back, there's no point in playing." The three of them grinned and lined up behind the vanguard table. Their tallest guy was going first. Good thing height doesn't help in a card game, because this guy was five inches taller than Yoshinari.

"Stand up... Vanguard!"

"Glyme," Yoshinari yelled.

"Dragon Egg," he yelled.

"Tachikaze?" Yoshinari responded and the man grinned.

"A clan you've never faced huh? This should be easy then. "I ride Winged Dragon Skyptero and end my turn."

"You're not even feeling it," Yoshinari sighed and the white-haired man looked at him confused. "What it's like to become your vanguard is unreal. You unmold and become a new song! I ride Knight of Friendship, Kay! Attack!" The man took damage and then grunted as Yoshinari got a draw trigger.

"Screw you," he yelled. "I ride Sharp Dragon, Refilstego! Call Attempt Mammoth to the rear. I attack with my Vanguard!" Yoshinari took damage. "Now my rear!" Yoshinari took second damage. "End turn."

"I ride Knight of Loyalty Bedevere! I call Knight of Loyalty Bedevere and in turn, use his ability to superior call Knight of Friendship from my hand and I draw a card. Attack with my vanguard." The white-haired tall man had taken two damage from a crit, so he guarded against Yoshinari's rear guard." The tall white-haired man smirked and then laughed.

"I suppose I should tell you who we are," he spoke up. "Now that we are this late in the game. We are local champions of this here card shop. No one in this shop or the next three over has ever beaten us. I am Lance and these are my brothers Ken and Akemi."

"You never told him you were good at this game," the kid yelled. "That's not fair."

"It's ok, kid," Yoshinari smiled. "I'll get you your card back."

"But it isn't worth your deck," the kid yelled.

"It's over," the man yelled. "Tyrant, Deathrex!" The man smirked. "Accel circle! I also soulblast one and retire a rearguard. In turn, I also retire your knight of loyalty."

"Doesn't look good," the kid grunted.

"My unit also gets plus 10,000 power," the tall white-haired man yelled. "I will call another Attempt Mammoth to my accel circle! My vanguard attacks!"

"No guard," Yoshinari yelled.

"Twin drive check," he yelled. "Critical trigger, crit to vanguard, power to my first attempt mammoth. Second check... front trigger. My front row gains power!" He swung with his rearguards next which were blocked by Yoshinari. He had definitely thinned out his hand due to how powerful they were and now he was at four damage. Two more damage and he's done.

"This isn't looking good," the kid responded.

"I ride," Yoshinari yelled. "Aggregated Fearless Knight, Firno!" The white-haired tall man grunted. "Force to my front right rearguard circle. I counterblast two and superior call Knight of Dignity, Caractus! Because of Firno's ability, the two of them get plus 10,000 power!"

"That means Firno has the power of 23,000 and Caractus has the power of 29,000," the kid grinned. "He'll either take the damage or risk his whole hand guarding."

"Firno attacks," Yoshinari yelled.

"No guard," the man responded.

"Twin drive check," Yoshinari yelled. "First check, draw trigger! I draw and power goes to Caractus. Second check critical trigger! Crit to my vanguard and power to Caractus!" The man grunted in defeat. If he had a perfect guard he'd be able to block this, but as it so happens a monster of 49000 was out of range for him to block."

"That guy's trigger luck is unreal," one of the shorter white haired men grunted. "I'll face him next." The taller guy backed away. "I've seen what your deck can do. Your no match for mine!"

"Let's do this," Yoshinari responded.

"Stand up, Vanguard!"

"Glyme!"

"Tap the Hyper!"

"He's playing Nova Grappler," Yoshinari pointed out. "I draw and then ride, Dream Painter and draw again."

"I ride, Hard hit Scrapper and call Queen of Heart! Queen of Heart boosts! Hard hit Scrapper attacks!"

"No guard," Yoshinari responded. Yoshinari took one damage and readied for his turn. "I ride, Rendering Angel! I call Rendering Angel and him superior calls Bediver to the rear and his ability calls Knight of Friendship Kay! Knight of Friendship boosts and knight of loyalty attacks!"

"No guard," the shorter white haired man growled.

"I attack with my vanguard."

"No guard."

"Critical trigger! Critical to my vanguard, power to my other Rendering Angel."

"Rendering Angel attacks!"

"No guard!"

"He's already at four damage," the kid yelled.

"What are you doing," the taller white-haired guy yelled.

"Are you proud," the shorter white-haired guy smirked. "Stand and draw! I ride my Avatar, King of Sword! I call Cup bowler and Cup Bowler!"

"That doesn't look good," the kid responded.

"Cup bowler attacks."

"No guard."

"Cup bowler attacks!"

"No guard!"

"Why both of his rearguards?" the kid wondered. "Well the mysterious guy is now at three damage, hopefully, he doesn't draw a crit."

"My avatar attacks," yelled the shorter white-haired guy.

"No guard," Yoshinari responded.

"No trigger! However, my King of Sword landed an attack boosted by my Queen of Heart meaning I can counterblast one and rest and one of my Cup Bowlers! Attack!"

"Guard," Yoshinari yelled. The game was close now, four damage to four damage. If Yoshiari didn't do something now, he was going to be in trouble. "Prepare for the light! I ride Firno, Force!" He counterblasted two and superior called Pongal. "Pongal Soul Charges, no trigger." He readied himself to attack. "Pongal boosts Rendering Angel and Rendering Angel attacks!"

"Guard!"

"He blocked 28000," the kid yelled.

"I Attack with my Vanguard!"

"Perfect Guard!"

"Twin Drive Check, Draw Trigger, the power to Bedivere and I draw. Critical Trigger, all effects to Bedivere! Knight of Friendship boosts! Bedivere attacks for 44,000 plus Crit."

"Perfect Guard!"

"Two Perfect Guards," the kid grunted.

"Time to end this! Say goodbye to your precious deck! I ride, Asura Kaiser! Accel. I call King of Blades to rear after retiring one of my Cup Bowlers and another Cup Bowler to my Accel Circle!"

"He's screwed," the last white-haired guy grinned. "Jen will just keep standing."

"I call Queen of Heart behind my Avatar. I attack with the Cup Bowler on my Accel circle."

"Guard!"

"I boost with Queen of Heart and attack with my avatar!"

"Guard," Yoshinari yelled. He was running out of cards in his hand. He may have to intercept. He could take one damage, but that was it.

"My Vanguard attacks!"

"Perfect guard."

"First check," Critical Trigger. "All effects to my free Cup Bowler, second check Grade 3. I can stand my Cup Bowler on my accel circle and he gets plus 10,000 power."

"This isn't good," the kid cried. "He's got a Cup Bowler with a crit and a Cup bowler with 34,000 power."

"I attack with my Cup Bowler with crit."

"Intercept and Guard!"

"I attack with my accel circle Cup Bowler."

"No guard." He survived at five damage. He won't survive another turn, but luckily he could feel the presence of his Vanguard. "I Ride Soul Saver Dragon!"

"What," the three of them yelled. "How did he get that card?"

"Force to my left front rearguard circle. I Call a rendering Angel to that circle and in turn, he calls a Dream Painter to the other. Dream Painter's ability allows me to take a grade 2 or less card from my drop zone to either the bottom of my deck or my soul. I put my Rendering Angel I intercepted with into my soul. I call Lucius behind my Soul Saver. Then I soulblast five cards to give all my units plus 15,000 power."

"When did he?" Jen responded and then remembered the soul charge from Pongal. "No!"

"I attack with Dream Painter boosted by Knight of Friendship Kay."

"No Guard! At five damage."

"I attack with Soul Saver Dragon boosted by Lucius!"

"Perfect Guard," Jen yelled.

"Draw Trigger power to my Rendering Angel and me draw, Heal Trigger!" Jen looked defeated after seeing his opponent get a heal trigger. "All power to Rendering Angel. Attack Rendering Angel boosted by Pongal!"

"63,000 power," Jen grunted. "Plud 10,000 from the force marker... I can't block that even if I wanted to." He hoped for a heal trigger and grunted. "I lose."

"I ain't playing if he can get that powerful," the last white-haired guy grunted. "Take your stupid card!"

"My card," the kid smiled. "Soul Saver sure saved you Mr."

"My names Yoshinari," he smiled. "Soul Saver may be strong, but without Dream Painter or Pongal I wouldn't be able to pull that off. Do you understand?" The kid nodded and thanked him again before running home." Yoshinari smiled at his Soul Saver dragon before his eyes glowed white.
